Chapter 237 236. All-Star Weekend
Since the away victory over the Knicks, the Magic not only ended their three-game losing streak in the previous season.
The team's new aid Iverson even successfully completed his Magic debut.
After defeating the Knicks, this means that before the All-Star Weekend, the Magic only have the last two games left.
And with the coming of the All-Star Weekend, the atmosphere of the entire NBA has become extremely lively, especially among the fans who are chatting in full swing and talking wildly.
As for the joy among the players, the players participating in this All-Star Weekend will train crazily before that, especially the players participating in the dunk contest and the three-point contest, and they will turn all their rest time into training.
As for the players who did not participate in the project during the All-Star Weekend, they have already started to prepare where they should bring their friends to play during these three days.
In the next two games, the Magic faced the Pacers and the Thunder respectively, and finally bid farewell to their last two performances before the All-Star Weekend with a record of 1 win and 1 loss.
Facing the Pacers in this game, the performance of the Magic's double guns in the backcourt can be described as very good.
This is also Iverson's second game after joining the team.
艾弗森在这场比赛中一共是出场了31分钟，个人15投8中，三分线外4中1，罚球9中9，最终砍下了一份26分3篮板3助攻以及4次抢断的数据。
As another player with two guns in the backcourt, Su Jiu's performance in this game was also not to be outdone.
全场比赛苏久一共是登场了37分钟，个人12投8中，三分线外9中7，罚球2中2，超高效率的砍下了25分7篮板以及2次助攻的数据。
The two guns in the backcourt played rhythm on the field at the same time, which also successfully helped the Magic at home with:
109:98
11 points to beat the Pacers.
After winning this game, the entire Orlando fans became a little excited, because since Iverson came, the team has not lost a game so far.
Although Iverson only played two games for the team, this is at least a favorable signal for the fans.
Even the fans are ready for the Magic to return to No. [-] in the league under the leadership of Iverson.
But the good times didn't last long, just when fans naively thought that the Magic would play all the way to the end of the season with this momentum.
In the next game between the Magic and the Thunder at home, it really gave the Magic fans a blow.
Facing the young Thunder, who had already lost to the team this season, the Magic played a bit sluggishly throughout the game.
Whether it was Iverson or Su Jiu, both of them seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, unable to find their own rhythm of attack.
Except for Howard, the entire team has become a bit blurred. On the Thunder side, the performances of Durant and Westbrook were very explosive in this game.
In the last game, the Thunder not only lost the game, but Westbrook was even suppressed by Su Jiu.
This also led to Westbrook being directly bombarded by the media after the game, and even one game was excluded from the battle for the best rookie of the season.
The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, facing Su Jiu again in this game, Westbrook also mustered a lot of strength, and the whole person broke out with all his anger.
全场比赛威斯布鲁克一共是登场了39分钟，其中个人17投10中，三分线外4中0，罚球8中4，最终贡献出了一份24分8篮板以及9次助攻的准三双数据。
Coupled with Su Jiu's poor personal performance, this also led to Thunder's second young master finally successfully leading the young Thunder to:
121:108
The away game beat the Magic by 13 points, and this victory obviously boosted the morale of the Thunder team, because it also represents the potential of the current Thunder team from the side.
After all, the Thunder's record this season can be described as a mess, because for the management, what they care most about at present is not the results, but the potential of the team.
But for the Magic, the loss in this game seemed a bit bad.
Because the loss in this game not only represented Iverson's first loss after joining the Magic, but also represented that the Magic could only bid farewell to their performance in this way before the All-Star Weekend.
Although this ending may not be perfect, because the Magic failed to win three consecutive seasons after Iverson arrived.
But for the current Stan Van Gundy, for the entire management of the current team, this can be regarded as a very perfect ending...
…………
February 2.
In one day, that is, tomorrow, the NBA will usher in the annual All-Star Weekend.
The entire All-Star Weekend will be held for a total of three days, and during this period, the league will stop all games, mainly the All-Star Weekend, allowing fans and players to revel.
It can be said that the All-Star Weekend is not only an entertainment measure specially organized by the league to make money for fans, but also a great entertainment for players to relax and rest in the middle of the season.
This year's All-Star Conference was held in Phoenix in the west, so on this day, Su Jiu followed the whole team to the local hotel in Phoenix to check in.
Although in this process, players can choose not to stay in the hotel with the team, but to have a happy time with their friends alone.
Because during the All-Star weekend, the team does not impose too many restrictions on its players.
But for the Magic, this season's All-Star weekend is definitely a bit busy.
Let's not talk about others, just talk about Su Jiu. During these three days, Su Jiu will have something to do with him for at least two days.
Because Su Jiu is too evil this season, Su Jiu will not only represent the first-year rookies in the rookie challenge on the first day, join forces with Derrick Rose, and compete with the second-year rookies led by Durant.
On the third day of the All-Star Game, Su Jiu will also appear as a substitute All-Star in the Eastern Conference.
And he was selected to the All-Star team in his rookie season, which is definitely a big figure in the entire NBA history.
That's right, just before the start of this year's All-Star game, Su Jiu also successfully broke through the third round of voting, and entered the backcourt spot of this year's All-Star game with an inconspicuous advantage.
And at the same time, Su Jiu also became the 30th player in NBA (including ABA) history after Yao Ming to enter the All-Star Game in his rookie season.
Among the previous 29 players, the most distant one has to be traced back to Bob Cousy, the originator of the point guard in the 50-51 season.
The most recent one also dates back to Yao Ming in the 02-03 season, so Su Jiu's selection this time also successfully aroused a lot of news for people to talk about during the All-Star Weekend.
In addition to Su Jiu, the Magic will also participate in the All-Star game this year, including Iverson and Howard.
Due to Lewis' absence due to injury, he can only sit on the sidelines for this All-Star game.
Fortunately, although the injured leg delayed Lewis from playing, it did not prevent him from sitting on the sidelines and watching the game.
So at this time Lewis has come to Phoenix with the team, ready to come to watch this annual All-Star feast.
And because Courtney Lee's life trajectory in this life has already produced serious deviations.
So this year, Courtney Lee was finally selected for this year's rookie challenge, and will start a new round of decisive battle with the first-year rookie team and the second-year rookie.
In addition, Courtney Lee, who followed Su Jiu's suggestion, also participated in this year's three-point contest in the end, and will compete with many powerful players.
Because the three-point contest is an entertaining game, it can be said that there is no bonus for the top shooters in the league.
But for a rookie player like Courtney Lee, it is a very big exposure channel.
Coupled with the outstanding performance of the Magic this season, the league finally successfully selected Courtney Lee as a major member of this year's three-point contest.
Of course, the main reason is that the league first invited Lewis from the Magic, but due to injuries, Lewis finally recommended Courtney Lee.
In addition, the league also intends to sell face to the Magic, so Courtney Lee, a rookie player, was finally selected for this year's three-point contest.
This is also a highlight of this year's All-Star Weekend.
Because Xiao Lizi will be the only rookie among all these players in this year's three-point contest.
It can be said that as long as Xiao Lizi emerges in this year's three-point contest, it will definitely be very good news for him.
At the very least, the name of Xiao Li Feidao may have to be born a few seasons in advance.
But at the beginning, Xiao Lizi had very high confidence in the three-point contest.
After all, so far this season, Lizi's 3-minute field goal percentage has reached 37.1%, which is definitely considered among the top shooters in the league.
However, with the list of other players in this year's three-point contest listed one by one, Xiao Lizi's whole person is like a deflated balloon so far, and he seems a little sluggish.
Because in this year's three-point contest, apart from Courtney Lee, the remaining five players are:
Mike Bibby, Mason, Cook, Granger, and three-pointer Kapono.
Among these people, let's not say that Kapono currently ranks first in the league with a 48.2% three-point shooting percentage. He is the well-deserved three-point king in the league this season.
Just say that among the remaining four players, Mason has made 40.1% of his three-pointers this season, and Bibby is 39.8%.
While Cook and Granger were also 38.5% and %36.6.
It can be said that the only one of these people with a lower three-point shooting percentage than Courtney Lee is Danny Granger.
So in theory, Xiao Lizi doesn't have any advantages at all, which also casts a shadow over Xiao Lizi, who was aiming to win the championship at the beginning.
After all, Xiao Lizi's mentality at this time was very different from Su Jiu's. Su Jiu, who came back from later generations, didn't care about things like the All-Star Game at all.
Because in his opinion, this is an entertainment competition. As long as he can leave a little honor in his career, then the competition is frank, and it doesn't matter if he participates or not.
But for Xiao Li, who just entered the league, this competition is too important for him.
So before the game, the whole person was in a daze and pestered Su Jiu crazily, always asking Su Jiu to help him analyze the chances of him winning this year's three-point contest.
At the beginning, Su Jiu would list all kinds of data for him to help him analyze, but later on, Su Jiu just didn't bother to talk to him, because this guy was just like a bitch...
"Little Suzi!! Come on and help me analyze, how likely is it that I can win this year's three-pointer contest!!"
"Even if you don't win the championship, you can't be eliminated in the first round. That face is really ugly."
"There are so many spectators looking at me. If I go up to play a round and leave in despair, how will others treat me in the future? How embarrassing."
In the room, Su Jiu was reclining on the bed with a mobile phone at the moment, not knowing who he was chatting with.
Regarding Xiao Lizi's words, Su Jiu's ears were almost callused, so the whole person was still dealing with it, um, ah.
"Hey! Can you listen to me carefully, when is this, and you are still playing with your phone here!?"
Seeing that Su Jiu was there all the time coping with himself, Xiao Lizi stepped forward and snatched Su Jiu's phone.
Then the whole person put his hands on his hips and questioned Su Jiu who was on the bed with a shrew look on his face.
"Damn it, I said you have something wrong with me, Little Li. You've been asking me these questions for several days."
"The three-pointer contest is different from your usual game on the court, so you should not use the average three-pointer shooting rate to compare with them."
"Because basically everything is possible in this situation, and the final test is often the mentality. With your mentality, I feel bad enough."
"What's more, this is an entertainment game in itself, and it's not an important game. Do you really think that these audiences are all running after you?! Grass, your thinking is too beautiful."
"Michael didn't feel ashamed when he scored five points in the three-point contest back then, or do you think someone would question Michael's personal status in the basketball world just because of the three-point contest?!"
Glancing at Xiao Lizi contemptuously, Su Jiu took back his mobile phone and continued to lie on the bed, chatting with someone.
Su Jiu understood Xiao Lizi's mentality quite well.
After all, if Su Jiu hadn't traveled back from the later generations, then I'm afraid he would be more excited.
Who hasn't had this first time in their life? ! !
"Damn, from what you said, I don't seem to be too nervous, but the more I think about it, the more I feel wrong."
"If it's really an entertainment game, there's no point in bullshit, and the audience doesn't come to see me, then why should I come to participate in the three-point shooting contest?!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Lizi felt a little confused for a moment.
Yes, if this bullshit is useless, then why should I come to participate in this competition? !
"Ahem..., find out if the situation is good, although this is just an entertainment competition, and most of the audience are not here to see you, and there will never be more than twenty people who come to see you."
"Although our teammates and coaches accounted for 18 of them..."
"Ahem..., but for you, this is an opportunity to test, the most important thing is to practice your mentality."
"Of course, if you really win the championship by surprise, it will be of great benefit to you."
"Even if you get eliminated in the first round, it's really nothing. After all, you don't need to spend money to sign up. Anyway, you just remember that no matter what happens in the end, we won't lose money!!"
Seeing his bad friend Su Jiu lying on the bed and explaining to himself casually, Xiao Lizi frowned and thought about it carefully.
"Fuck, it seems that this is really the case, grandma, then I have been anxious for several days in vain???"
After learning the truth, Xiao Lizi seemed to be hit instantly.
Little Li, who originally thought that he would be the star of everyone's attention the moment he stood on the field, seemed to realize it at this time.
It turned out that none of these people at the All-Star Weekend came to see me, and I was just a green leaf after all.
The ridiculous thing is that I have always regarded myself as the protagonist, and I have been worrying here.
Hey, it's such a fucking sad story...
"Ahem, Xiao Suzi, what are you doing? I've been watching you staring at your phone since you woke up this morning. The Rookie Challenge is about to start tomorrow. Are you not nervous at all?!"
Seeing Su Jiu lying there playing with his mobile phone, Xiao Lizi finally felt a little strange.
Because Su Jiu seldom plays mobile games, and even often complains to Xiao Li, why is the picture quality of this mobile game so rubbish...
So after taking a second look at Su Jiu who has been playing with his mobile phone all day, Xiao Lizi finally felt something abnormal.
"Yeah, of course I'm chatting."
"Who are you chatting with??"
"Katie."
"Katie, what have you been talking about, little Suzi?!"
After hearing these words, Su Jiu finally put down the phone, and then looked at Courtney Lee in front of him with a slightly idiotic look.
"Do I fucking need to tell you all the details of my shit, and ask what we talked about, and what does it have to do with you as a single dog?!"
"You're so damned that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry."
Little Lizi: "..."
Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, brothers! !
This month is actually quite good, but tomorrow is the 1st, the beginning of the month.
I hope that the brothers can vote for the third child tomorrow to insure the end of the monthly pass! !
For a writer like me, I am really grateful! !
Thank you everyone! !
