Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 163: The first player in history to win four MVPs in the same season is about to be born?
Stan Van Gundy was very unwilling to be fired, but what he saw was the Heat gradually becoming stronger under the leadership of Pat Riley. So sometimes, you really can't help but accept it, Stan Van Gundy is not as good as Pat Riley.

The powerful Heat team has made the Miami media and fans restless again.

After winning the defending championship, the Miami media confidently stated: "The Heat have already booked the championship!"

Heat fans also believe that Pat Riley's return is a correct, timely and effective change.

As for Stan Van Gundy, he has long been forgotten by the wayside.

Erin brought the excited slogans of the Miami media to Su Wan and asked him a question: "If you were asked to choose, Su, would you rather be the regular season MVP or the championship this year?"

Su Wan looked confused and said, "Do I need to think about this?"

Erin: “Champion?”

Su Wan said as a matter of course: "Only children make choices, I want them all!"

Erin: "..."

She wanted to ask, "Why don't you take me?"

But after interviewing Su Wan for almost two years, she also knew what Su Wan would say:
"I'm sorry, Erin, you're not among the choices."

Bah, you bastard!
Losing a game is not a big deal for the Pacers. Although the opponent is the Miami Heat, one of the main contenders for the playoffs, it is just a regular season game after all! In the words of the great man, despise the opponent tactically and pay attention to the opponent strategically.

The mentality of everyone on the team was not affected at all, and they had a record of 5 wins and 2 losses before the All-Star Weekend.

On February 2, Suwan, O'Neal Jr., Artest who was selected as an All-Star as a substitute, Calderon who participated in the three-point shooting contest, and Dio who participated in the skills challenge set off for Houston together.

In fact, Calderon and Dio's original fame was not enough to participate in the "three major challenges", but this season they have made a name for themselves in the Pacers. Even if the statistics don't show it, Dio has averaged 7.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and Calderon has averaged 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. But their fame has been truly established, so when they announced their participation in this year's Skills Challenge and Three-Point Shooting Contest, the league did not hesitate to add them to the list.

The league also invited Suwan to participate in the "Slam Dunk Contest", but Suwan refused. He couldn't open "The Zone" and many of the moves he wanted to do were simply impossible to perform. Since he couldn't save the "Slam Dunk Contest", he might as well just be a spectator.

This is also the reason why LeBron has been wavering between "participating" and "not participating".

But he is "worried about gains and losses". On the one hand, he wants to increase his fame through the "slam dunk contest", and it would be best if he could leave a wonderful picture in the "slam dunk contest". This is a guy who wants it all.

But on the other hand, he was worried that he would perform poorly in the "Slam Dunk Contest", resulting in no classic scenes but funny ones, which would waste his athletic ability.

To put it bluntly, he is too concerned about his reputation.

But in fact, Jordan left a classic "famous scene" in the three-point shooting contest, which did not affect his becoming the "God of Basketball" at all. As for those who say that he can't shoot three-pointers, they can use Jordan's three-point shooting data in the finals as proof.

Most importantly, Michael Jordan's three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%, but his opponents did not dare to let him go. Even if Stephen Curry made 9 of 0 shots in the whole game, when he shot again from beyond the three-point line, it would still cause his opponents to be highly nervous. However, some people have a good three-point shooting percentage in their career, but others always let them shoot three-pointers.

Data, sometimes it’s really just data!
It has reference value, but it is just reference value.

He has made so many three-pointers in his career. If he really stood at the three-point line and faced Michael Jordan, who do you think the opponent would choose to let go?

Su Wan is not "worried about gains and losses". Su Wan is a person who knows what he is doing, so he will not make any changes in this matter. He directly stated that he is not Vince Carter and does not have the ability to save the "Slam Dunk Contest".

This sudden wave of praise is not for the All-Star Game to let Vince Carter feed him the ball~
I just suddenly wanted to pay tribute!

Houston is one of the top 5 largest cities in the United States.

The Johnson Space Center is located here, which is also the origin of the Rockets' name.

In addition, there are many finance-related industries, energy research industries, and biotechnology research institutions.

Therefore, this is a city of white-collar elites. In their daily leisure time, they prefer to watch dramas, operas, ballets and other types of fine arts. Occasionally, when they are in the mood, they will run to the side of the stadium to sing a few songs.

However, with this year's NBA All-Star Weekend, the streets and alleys of the entire city are filled with a more sports atmosphere.

This is especially true near the Toyota Center.

Su Wan and his team arrived at the hotel. The Rockets had just finished an away game yesterday and returned to Houston in the early morning, so Yao Ming should still be resting and did not contact Su Wan. Su Wan did not contact him either.

I walked around the hotel with Artest and the others.

Of course, there were seven or eight bodyguards following him.

He had just bombarded the entire Houston in early February, and the city's media didn't know how to discredit him. The fans naturally followed the guidance of the media, and in order to prevent some idiots from inviting him to drink "Jiang Xiaobai", he had better be safe.

Artest looked at the McGrady posters on the streets and said with emotion: "I always thought Yao was the leader of this city, but now it seems that they like Tracy more!"

O'Neal Jr. noticed a hint of displeasure on Suwan's face, and quickly poked Artest with his elbow to tell him to shut up.

Su Wan suddenly snorted and laughed: "It's true that no one likes a wimp!"

As a fan before traveling through time, he watched the domestic media praise Yao Ming for his maturity, wit and humor in the NBA, and his ability to handle problems through Tai Chi. He felt that Yao Ming had maintained China's image internationally.

But now, when Su Wan looks at Yao Ming again, he feels that he is a "non-stick pan" who pushes everything away. From the perspective of rhetoric, Su Wan can't find any fault with him.

But the Houston media, McGrady and Alexander dare to be so arrogant because Yao Ming likes to make a big deal out of a small matter. When they see you give in every time, won't they finally get aggressive and push their luck?

Yao Ming's current situation was caused by his own concessions.

Suwan had no involvement in this matter. Even if he talked to Yao Ming for a while during the Asian Championships, it was at Bill Duffy's request. After that, he never cared about this matter again. He just wanted to see what Yao Ming's final choice would be, that's all.

Including this time, he was not venting his anger on Yao Ming, but the Houston media had provoked him, so he chose to fight back.

Do you really think all Chinese players are as easy to talk to as Yao Ming?

Okay, let's wait and see how McGrady, whom you chose as the host, performs in this year's All-Star Game.

Su Wan ended this shopping trip in a very unhappy mood.

Sometimes it is like this. Obviously Yao Ming's situation is not the same as Su Wan's, but seeing Yao Ming bring so much benefit to the Rockets but cannot even maintain an absolute core position, I really feel angry as a compatriot.

Artest could sense Su Wan's unhappiness.

The next day, the league officially entered the All-Star Weekend, and the newspapers were full of reports about the Houston All-Stars. McGrady accepted an interview with reporters and said that he would go all out in the All-Star Game, and then, in front of the Rockets fans, he held up the All-Star MVP trophy: "This is my motivation. I have never been so eager for the All-Star MVP trophy."

This is the common "Pandao" in the underworld.

Spread the word that I want this batch of goods.

Those with high qualifications will naturally be the focus of everyone's attention and be the center of attention; those with low qualifications, of course, can just sit aside and play.

McGrady had originally expressed his desire to win the All-Star MVP trophy, and he also scored 36 points in the All-Star Game, but LeBron James came out to disrupt the situation and won the final All-Star MVP. This time, when Artest saw McGrady say this, he was very happy.

He knew very well that Maddie was dreaming!
There is no way Su Wan would let him win the All-Star MVP.

On February 2, the first day of the All-Star Weekend officially arrived. As a sophomore, Su Wan had to face the challenges of freshmen together with the "14 generation".

The sophomores haven't lost in this event for a long time.

So when Su Wan arrived at the locker room, facing the classmates who looked at him with more or less hostility, he said directly: "If you want to be the worst sophomore in recent years, you don't have to cooperate with me. I will learn from Michael and save some fun for the All-Star Weekend."

Then, they worked together to beat the freshmen in various ways and won by 124 points with a score of 101 to 23.

Suwan, who scored 35 points, won the MVP trophy of his rookie season.

The other members of the "04 Generation" realized it too late. Damn, they gave him another bonus.

Only Iguodala came over and sincerely congratulated Suwan.

Apart from anything else, the tempers of these top-notch second-in-commands are really very good.

After the game, Irene reminded Su Wan: "Su, you are likely to become the first player in NBA history to win four MVP trophies in the same season."

Su Wan realized it later, but he looked at Irene strangely: "How do you know I'm going to win this year's All-Star MVP?" He probably didn't express it so obviously when he was facing the interview, right?

Things like competing for the All-Star MVP are most effective when the Houston media, McGrady and Rockets fans all think the atmosphere is right.

Jumping out now and saying that he wants to grab the All-Star MVP will only make them point their guns at the outside world.

Even if they manage to rob it, they will only be filled with anger.

But if someone suddenly emerges and grabs the All-Star MVP, the emotions at that time will be varied.

Su Wan couldn't wait to give these guys a "surprise".

You like to take advantage of the weak Chinese people, right?

Then let me show you how the tough Chinese people retaliate!
Irene said proudly: "Others don't know, but I know!"

Su Wan nodded and said thoughtfully: "You have indeed been interviewing me for too long. I am considering whether I should change a reporter. I feel insecure when you do this."

Irene: ??? In? Is it a person?

The second day of the All-Star Weekend was the three major challenges. Due to the participation of Calderon and Dio, Suwan arrived at the court early to cheer for the two.

He had just come out of Yao Ming's house before coming.

The day before yesterday, Yao Ming finished playing a game and woke up at home when it was almost dark, so he didn't call Su Wan. Yesterday, Su Wan had another game, so he didn't want to disturb him. Today, both of them had nothing to do, so Yao Ming took him home.

When Su Wan saw Ye Li, he couldn't help but think of Lauren Jackson. By the way, he compared them and decided that Ye Li won.

It’s just a pity that even with Su Wan cheering on them, Calderon and Dio still had to runner-up.

Wade won the final skills challenge, Dirk Nowitzki became the final "Three-Point Shooting Contest Champion", and the "Slam Dunk King" was Nate Robinson, the least impressive "small potato" in NBA history.

With a dunk over "Potato" Webber, he won the championship. In fact, the script was perfect up to this moment, and Su Wan, the "Dunk King", also recognized it.

But he participated again and again in order to achieve the triple crown of the NBA "Slam Dunk Contest", which made Su Wan say "he looks a lot like someone". He didn't have enough strength, but he made up for it with his seniority and won three "Slam Dunk Contest championships".

It is worth mentioning that Wade originally wanted to be a "peacemaker" and take photos with Suwan, Anthony and LeBron to bring back some memories.

In the summer of 04, they took a photo together next to a stadium in Las Vegas, which caused some noise at the time.

Anthony had no objection, and Suwan even stood there waiting, but LeBron turned around and ran away, running so fast. Wade could only look at his Skills Challenge championship trophy and sigh deeply.

It seems that we can never go back to the past.

Then, on the third day of the All-Star Weekend, the main game arrived.

As soon as Su Wan pushed open the door of the Eastern Conference All-Star locker room, he made his attitude clear. He wanted to win the All-Star MVP trophy tonight.

Artest, O'Neal and Wade, who had known about it for a long time, naturally echoed it. Artest even said: "We all know that you have a score to settle with Houston."

Then Vince Carter nodded in agreement, just as Suwan had expected.

Of the remaining players, Paul Pierce is on the sidelines.

He had no conflicts or intersections with Su Wan, and at the same time he didn't want to "lick" Su Wan, so he had no intention of helping Su Wan win the All-Star MVP. If there were many people who opposed it, he wouldn't mind making a fuss.

such a pity……

LeBron James lowered his head and said nothing. Everyone knew that he would not help Su Wan, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

The three Pistons players didn't respond, but they didn't say anything either.

Pistons head coach Philip Saunders is this year's Eastern Conference All-Star head coach, but he has made it clear to them that they will not be given much playing time in order to allow them to make better use of this vacation, recuperate and make a push for the playoffs.

Only Shaquille O'Neal sneered, which was a clear response:

You want to win the All-Star MVP, why don’t you go to heaven?

Unfortunately, Paul Pierce found it difficult to stir up any waves as he was alone, and he pouted his lips in disinterest.

Su Wan saw all their reactions, and basically none of them exceeded his expectations. He didn't expect that everyone would support him. But as long as some of them remained neutral and didn't cause trouble for him, he wouldn't care if the rest wanted to cause trouble.

After all, with the support of O'Neal and others, Su Wan is able to perform well.

Don’t forget he also has “The zone”.

In a performance-based game like the All-Star Game, he has no problem playing three quarters in "The Zone" with his physical fitness.

If there is no update at 12 o'clock tonight, it means that the two chapters will be posted together at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Brothers, please continue to ask for monthly tickets. It’s very uncomfortable to be stuck in the top 500 and fluctuate around it.
