Chapter 76: [Stupidity, All-Star Voting]
In Suhi's heart, with the Knicks' current record as the No. 1 in the East, he has to pull three All-Stars.
Although he said 4, he asked for one of them.
However, there are many people who worry that if the Knicks are given too many All-Star spots, with Suhi's super popularity, it is very likely that something like Randolph did last season... Randolph made the All-Star starter and took away the All-Star MVP.
Although Randolph then played an All-Star price, it was unfair to other stars who were interested in getting an All-Star spot.
Sushi pointed her fingers upside down and said, "I'm sure I should be an All-Star." Zach Randolph also averaged 20+9 per game this season, and he was the MVP of last season's All-Star Game, so he should have no problem winning the All-Star. David Lee, David averages 20.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, is there a young power forward in the East with better stats than him? There's Lowry, a playmaking point guard who averages 13.6 points and 8.1 assists per game, and Ariza, Stephen Jackson, including Channing Fry, all All-Star players. ”
Suhi told media friends: "We have so many rising stars and such a good record, the league should give us the most All-Star spots." ”
However, Charlotte's reporter was apparently more concerned about another question: "Jack, do you think you will be able to challenge Michael Jordan for the GOAT position?" ”
Suhi smiled, and he calmly told the clearly biased Jordanian media on Jordan's turf: "It's not something I think or don't think. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and what else will happen is something that you can see with your eyes. ”
"At least, put aside the achievements of the entire career. In the first four seasons of his career, can Jordan compare to me? ”
Suhi asked the reporter rhetorically: "Can you name the main achievements of Michael Jordan in the first four seasons of his career?" ”
The reporter was dumbfounded and speechless for a while.
Suxi patted him on the shoulder: "You should know what honors I won in the first three seasons." ”
With that, Suhi strode away.
The reporter's head is still spinning: you have three championships, three Finals MVPs, two regular season MVPs.
This is the Sushi honor that anyone who pays a little attention to basketball knows.
So, when Sushi threw up this topic, they couldn't take it.
They can only say that Jordan has the number of scoring titles, the number of championships.
But this thing is not an urgent matter for Su Xi, and Su Xi's gold content is constantly rising.
And all Jordan's accolades have been fixed.
Although he is a majestic mountain, it has accumulated over time, and who says that Sushi cannot surpass it?
The only thing Jordan can do right now is... Build his Bobcats well, and approve of the emergence of more and more superteams in the NBA. For example, when Shaq O'Neal joined the Cavaliers, he expressed his support.
He believes that this will help enhance the competitiveness of the eastern region.
Jordan had big ambitions at the rookie conference, and he executed a strong North Carolina line, but his pick for the second pick of the lottery, Larry Bird, did very badly, not as well as Millsap, a second-round pick who played off the bench with the Knicks.
The Bobcats' record this season is as good as ever.
While they have had a lot of lottery picks over the years, without exception, they have all missed out on the best players.
Jordan's draft vision has been challenged.
And, of course, taunts from Isaiah Thomas.
Thomas said in Charlotte: "It doesn't matter if a smart draft pick is a good pick or not. The important thing is to be able to use accurate draft vision to select the most suitable rookie for the team. ”
"The god of basketball should be all-round, not only in his playing career, but also in his management career."
"I think I can call it the god of management and coaching in the basketball circle!"
Isaiah Thomas did not hesitate to put gold on his face: "After all, several teams I have coached have achieved good results. In New York, I cleared all the previous stubborn problems and directly operated to build the Knicks into a championship-winning lineup. ”
Thomas was proud, he was a little bit complacent.
This annoyed the Charlottes.
However, what bothers Charlotte more is the upcoming race.
Jordan seemed to have the foresight to deliberately not come to the court, and in the past he would watch the game from the sidelines and give the home players some reminders.
But tonight, he knew how to avoid the limelight.
But the Knicks didn't relent, Sushi led the charge and hit three three-pointers in a row on the court.
As soon as they fought, the Bobcats were already in a state of collapse.
Although their lineup is also good: Raymond Felton, Gerard Wallace, Adam Morrison, Omeka Okafor, Primoz Blazek.
However, this lineup can't stop the Knicks at all.
Suhey knocked Wallace out face-to-face, while his teammates ran wildly with the Bobcats, overwhelming the Bobcats with their dense firepower.
The North Carolina stars who were pinned on by Jordan, Felton, Morrison, and Shaun May on the bench, were beaten by Lowry, Millsap, David Lee and others.
The suspense of this game was lost from the end of the first quarter, and the rest of the game was of a training nature.
The Bobcats lost interest in the game before the Knicks, and they were like numb prostitutes, lying there motionless.
In this way, they managed to limit Suhi's scoring to less than 30 points, and Suhey only scored 24 and went off early, and he really couldn't continue to play.
People don't resist, you shoot again, what's the point?
It's better to go back to the hotel early to watch the film.
Sushi sat on the bench and was bored, and Isaiah Thomas felt the same way.
The two chatted about the international situation without a match, and they were not interested in the game at all anyway.
Zach Randolph joined in, but of course, he mainly talked about his artistic aesthetic. Randolph is now getting closer and closer to the artist's hanging, and it is unthinkable that such a materialistic guy has changed so completely.
Randolph's outfit now sparks a heated discussion among fans every time he enters the stadium.
The last player to get fans so excited because of his outfit was Dennis Rodman.
For example, tonight, he entered the venue in an English skirt with a tunic suit.
Sushi was dumbfounded, and Randolph deliberately took two turns around the locker room.
How's this mash-up going?
Su Xi wanted to say two things at that time: mixing and matching is not random matching. You are trampling on art in this way. But on second thought, Randolph looks pretty good now, at least not going to nightclubs for his aunt's memorial service, and not going to gamble in the Atlantic. It's nothing more than a bit of a spoiling of art.
But art is a thing, who can say?
Whoever spoils is not spoiled, at least Randolph is still his own person.
The Knicks walked away with a 39-point massacre victory in Charlotte.
It was the biggest slaughter of the season so far.
Interestingly, after the game, a Charlotte reporter asked Suhi in the aisle: "Jack, is it because of your personal vendetta with Michael Jordan that the Knicks slaughtered the Bobcats so many points tonight?" ”
"I didn't have a personal vendetta against him, I wasn't involved at all, I played less than two quarters and then rested. How do I know I'm going to win so much? ”
Su Xi said angrily: "It's my business." ”
"So do you want to prove that you're better than Jordan's No. 23 with 24 points tonight?"
"It's just a coincidence. You should ask Kobe Bryant why he changed his jersey number from 8 to 24 this season. ”
Su Xi directly came to make a move to lead the water to the east.
Then he strode away, he didn't want to have too much to do with the Charlottes, the reporters here are all insane.
Leaving Charlotte, the Knicks returned to New York.
At this time, the league also announced the shortlist for the new All-Star Game, and the Knicks did not get 4 candidates. However, they got 3: Suhi, David Lee, Zach Randolph.
That's the most of any Eastern Conference team.
As soon as the voting channel opened, there was a wild rush.
Suhi, Zach Randolph, and David Lee instantly took the lead.
This year, Zach Randolph is the center position, David Lee is the power forward, and Suhi is the shooting guard.
The three of them lunged forward, with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James occupying the other two spots.
That's basically the same situation.
Because the most appealing stars in the East are Suhi, Wade, and James.
Oh, and rising star Dwight Howard.
Howard is indeed getting better and better, and his super physicality and ability to defend the box make him more and more like a new generation of super centers.
Therefore, Orlando is very unconvinced, thinking that the Knicks are relying on the many fans and the appeal of Suhi the goat.
Otherwise, how could Zach Randolph be more popular than Howard?
In addition, the Cleveland people are also unconvinced by Shaq O'Neal: Why can Zachlandorf take O'Neal's place? O'Neill is the most dominant super center of all time, and Zach Randolph is still far from him? That's what Zach Randolph's stats are for this year.
In addition, David Lee has also received a lot of criticism, after all, his qualifications are shallow, and the data is not convincing. Bosh and O'Neal Jr. are clearly more competitive than him.
However, Suhey's words kill these talkers.
"There's nothing to be discouraged by, that's what a championship team looks like."
Suhi's remark about the championship team was like this, but it ignited the pride of the New Yorkers, and they joined the voting list one after another, and for a while, the lead was even bigger.
It is worth mentioning that the Knicks' next two home opponents are: Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors.
One is Dwight Howard who is not convinced by Zach Randolph, and the other is Chris Bosh who is not convinced by David Lee.
Orlando have shown some formidable team style this season, although they were still fish belly last season.
But with Dwight Howard's strong rise and Stan Van Gundy's tactics maturing for the team, they have shown what they can do to disrupt the East.
Before the start of this game, Howard was particularly 'angry' and said to the New York fans: "I'll let you know that voting for me is a smarter choice." ”
After he said this, he giggled again.
Chinese fans like to call him Warcraft, and some people call him Happy Beast.
He even has a smile on his face when he plays, but his talent is unquestionable.
More and more critics believe that he will become the NBA's No. 1 center: O'Neal is old, Yao Ming's physical fitness is a big hurdle, and Yao Ming's defensive ability is much weaker than Howard's.
Tonight, the Orlando Magic have a particularly interesting lineup.
Nelson, Hardaway, Grant Hill, Turkogru, Dwight Howard.
They've played together before, but they haven't started together. Hardaway has been appearing as the team's sixth man.
Today, Hardaway returned to New York with a chance to start and the crowd cheered.
Such scenarios are rare.
For many long-time fans, this is a dream scenario.
Hardaway and Hill, the two Jordan successors, play on the same team.
And, all at the same time, stay healthy.
It's amazing.
These two are actually still very popular in the United States, they are super idols before the big four, and they are the kind with signature shoes. Grant Hill, in particular, even overtook Jordan in the All-Star vote.
Therefore, such a scene makes many old fans of New York City quite emotional.
However, when Suhi appeared, he was the MVP of the tsunami.
Magnificent.
Compared to Hill and Hardaway, Suhi's qualifications are much shallower.
Since Jordan's retirement, the league has found a total of three waves of successors for Jordan. Hill and Hardaway were the first wave, and then the second wave counted as the big four. Then there are LeBron James, Wade, and Anthony.
However, Suhi is not among them.
He was not among them from the beginning, and when he rose strongly, no one dared to consider him as Jordan's successor. He's ambitious, and he's going to overthrow Jordan himself as the god of basketball.
So, in terms of momentum, Suxi has overpowered these guys.
"Jack, I heard you had an awkward fall out with Scarlett? Hey, don't do that, you're all my idols. ”
Before the start of the game, Howard said very gossip when he greeted Suxi.
His expression was sad and serious.
Su Xi looked at him and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and he said to Howard, "Where did you get the news?" When did you become a Scarlett fan? ”
"Hey, haven't you watched the news? Scarlett has already said on TV that she will probably never get married. Did you break up? Or was the last time you were in Los Angeles with Jessica and Fox that spurred her on? You should communicate well with her, and she will definitely listen to you. ”
Howard said.
Sushi shook his head helplessly, and he said to Howard, "Do you watch these gossip media every day? ”
"It's not every day. But as long as I have time, I will pay attention, after all, I also want to find a few girlfriends in Hollywood. I've heard that it doesn't cost money to find a girlfriend in Hollywood, right? As long as they are in good health, they will be fascinated? Howard said.
"You're thinking about fart."
Suhee ended the conversation, he didn't bother to talk to this guy anymore.
He has misanthropy.
