Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 263 LeBron suddenly felt discomfort in his groin

When the league gave such a response, LeBron was in a dilemma, but he didn't have time to react.

Jennings withdraws from NBA slam dunk contest due to injury.

In this way, there is no need for the alliance to open a green channel, and one extra spot will be automatically available.

"LeBron, you got what you wanted!"

"Don't tell me you changed your mind again, LeBron!"

"Even God is helping you, LeBron, it's your turn!"

……

Without a doubt, all major media outlets began to build momentum, preparing to push LeBron into the vacant spot.

LeBron is numb!

no……

You all do this to me, right?
Originally, since he failed to make the All-Star team this year, in order to maintain his exposure, Rich Paul came up with this idea for him.

He thought at the time that his spot had already been confirmed, so he could gain a lot of exposure by bragging about it. Even if this year's "Slam Dunk Contest" was not good, the media could still give him news like "It would be great if LeBron participated."

As it turned out, it did become popular.

The exposure was also higher than he had originally thought.

This group of people acted as if they had discussed it beforehand, and even arranged a place for him.

Gan!
Suwan knew that Jennings was injured and the person who was originally going to replace him in the "Slam Dunk Contest" was DeRozan, the "star dominated by LeBron."

DeRozan didn't make any splash in this dunk contest, and even if he didn't participate it wouldn't have had any impact on the trajectory of his life.

Because Su Wan once again stood up to help the situation and said, "I believe LeBron said this on purpose just to attract attention. He will not participate in this year's 'Slam Dunk Contest'. He just wants to be talked about, so...just go away, don't expect anything. The answer LeBron finally gave was that after considering various aspects, he will not participate in this slam dunk contest!"

Don't mention it. LeBron was preparing a similar statement. Seeing Su Wan said so, he immediately said firmly: "There is no doubt that this is a great opportunity. I said I look forward to participating in the dunk contest this year. Now that such an opportunity has appeared, then... why not?"

After saying this, LeBron's lips were trembling.

He agreed!

The media was completely abuzz with activity.

This year, the outside world had already paid a lot of attention to the "Slam Dunk Contest".

Griffin, whose rookie season was ruined by injuries, caused a phenomenal craze after his comeback this season.

He and Stoudemire made the Clippers the "City of Dunks".

The two "beasts" continue to destroy the opponent's basket every night with a very fiery style.

Some media said that as long as the Clippers can find an excellent guard, the team will put on a "show time" level performance.

Especially Griffin, who is young and fearless.

Never layup when you can dunk.

It is called the "White Beast" that is comparable to "Rain Man" Kemp.

There are even many media reports that some old fans who have not watched basketball for many years returned because of his dunks.

He is the winner of this year's Slam Dunk Contest.

There is also McGee of the Wizards.

He is strong and has exaggerated static talents. His dynamic talents are also top-notch among the center position.

The Washington media believes that he will be the "dark horse" of this year's "Slam Dunk Contest".

In addition, there is one spot for the "Congolese tough guy" Ibaka...

This needs no further introduction.

Honestly speaking, even if Jennings was not injured, it would be a wise choice for him to withdraw from the game at this moment. This is not a game he can get involved in.

LeBron's announcement of joining has made this already highly anticipated lineup even more star-studded.

The New York media watched the All-Stars in Los Angeles become so lively, but they had the "5 million vote king" Suwan, who now can only go to Los Angeles to help out. They were all clamoring, when will it be New York's turn during the All-Stars weekend?
They waited for the day when Suwan would become the host of New York.

At the same time, the "Where is Carter going" issue that has been a hot topic for most of the season has finally come to an end. Donnie Walsh and Vince Carter had the last laugh in the tug-of-war. The New York Knicks sent two expiring contracts and a 2013 second-round pick to the Suns in exchange for the former "UFO".

The New York Knicks' wing shooting firepower has been strengthened.

As for the two people sent out...

Even the New York media didn’t know that there were such two people on the Knicks team this season. Then they looked through the historical transaction records and found that these were the “old men” left over from the “Thomas era”.

Thomas from gtmd!

The dead memory suddenly attacked the New York media, causing them to burst into foul language.

However, this grandson finally did something good.

Without the "mess" he left behind, the New York Knicks would not have gotten Vince Carter.

Given Carter's current status, his trade wouldn't cause much of a stir.

But because he came to New York and came to Su Wan.

He immediately gained a lot of attention.

Various reports said that the Knicks had obtained strong reinforcements.

If he hadn't been ignored for a long time with the Suns, Vince Carter would have thought his market value was good.

Shaquille O'Neal was the first to congratulate him: "Vince made the right choice. I believe he will soon know that there is nothing wrong with his choice!"

When reporters asked Shaquille O'Neal how he persuaded Carter, he smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a secret. I'll tell you when Vince wants to tell you."

Then Suwan took the lead in expressing excitement about Carter's arrival.

Stephen Curry was so happy that he said to the camera: "It feels like a dream. This is my dream since I was a child. I never thought it would come true! I can't wait to play with Uncle Carter!"

That day soon arrived. On February 2, Carter successfully passed the team's physical examination and got playing time.

In his first appearance, he played for a total of 21 minutes and 23 seconds, and performed very well, making 8 of 5 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 15 points in total.

Scoring ability off the bench has always been something New York lacks.

Before Vince Carter arrived, the highest scoring player off the bench for the New York Knicks was Paul George, who averaged 8.4 points per game.

Now, a substitute who can score more than ten points suddenly stands out, and even Su Wan is not used to it.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Vince Carter and asked him why he played so well tonight. Vince Carter said: "This is normal..."

He seemed to be thinking of something unpleasant, and after a pause, he continued: "Su Wan attracted a lot of defense. With such an open position, no one would miss a shot..."

This is what he was unhappy about:
When the opponents face the open space between him and Su Wan, they always leave him open and double-team Su Wan.

This happened not once, not twice, but three times...

When Artest heard what he said, he got angry:

Alas, no!

Who are you saying is not a human being?

Su Wan kicked him away.

An embarrassing thing.

Vince Carter continued to be interviewed. The reporter asked him to comment on this year's "Slam Dunk Contest" lineup and asked: "Vince, do you think this year's Slam Dunk Contest can surpass the 00 Slam Dunk Contest?"

The reporter triggered the key words, and Carter's tone suddenly became much more arrogant: "The 00 Slam Dunk Contest is one of the classics in NBA history. I don't think it can be easily surpassed."

Looking at Carter's outspoken look, Su Wan suddenly got an inspiration:
If we create a show on ESPN and invite Vince Carter to comment on those players' dunks, the effect should be good, right?

He is not a hesitant person and he does what he says.

main……

This year we have LeBron!

This kind of fun would be too boring if we just watched from the sidelines.

Moreover, as the person who facilitated this fun, there is absolutely no problem for Su Wan to exchange this "Slam Dunk Contest" for some money.

After Vince Carter finished the interview, he directly invited Vince Carter.

Carter had just one question: "I don't remember such a show?"

Su Wan said: "As long as you agree, it will be available this year!"

Carter had nothing else to say and agreed immediately.

When ESPN learned that Suwan was going to make another show, they immediately set up a special task force to specifically coordinate with Suwan.

Just kidding, 5 million "King of Tickets" is enough for ESPN to make a lot of money even if it is just a fan-oriented program. Moreover, after listening to Su Wan's idea, they knew very well that this was a program that would definitely be talked about and have high ratings.

ESPN has the broadcasting rights, so there is absolutely no problem in delegating the rights to a second channel.

All they need to do now is to set up a temporary studio near the Staples Center and attract investment.

"Su Wan's Prediction" has become a very successful program.

This gave Su Wan a good reputation among investors.

Coupled with the All-Star effect, ESPN soon secured a sponsorship of 3 million.

Since this program was entirely Su Wan's idea, he took 50% of the advertising revenue this time.

That is to say, 3 million out of the 1500 million sponsorship belongs to him.

In addition, ESPN will pay him a performance fee of $3 million and Vince Carter a performance fee of $150 million.

Of course, considering the money they earn, this performance fee is nothing.

Carter was stunned when he got the money: "No, this show should only have one episode, right?"

Su Wan said: "Yes!"

"Are you only paying 150 million yuan for one show?"

This is almost catching up with the price of first-tier stars.

Su Wan said: "This is New York, we are working with ESPN, this is the price!"

Vince Carter has also learned a lot.

ESPN then entered the promotion phase, and soon the show attracted great interest from the outside world. ESPN's promotional slogan was: "Even viewers who don't understand basketball or slam dunks can still pay attention to this show. Here you will find the funniest commentary and the most professional reviews!"

These words touched David Stern's heart.

He immediately asked the official channel to follow up on the promotion of this program.

ESPN was stunned by the support from the official media channels.

Su Wan was right...

Ok……

This slogan was exactly what Su Wan had in mind.

The person he was targeting was David Stern.

Any publicity is not as good as directly linking with the official.

Now there is no need to worry about the popularity of this show.

LeBron James also saw the promotion for this program, and if he hadn't been reluctant to let go, he would have almost dropped his phone.

So damn...

Suwan!

Could you please have some shame?
Push me into the "Slam Dunk Contest" and then make money from me, right?

Even though LeBron is a very arrogant person, he also knows that given Suwan's personality, it is impossible for him to say anything good about him.

What the hell!

LeBron suddenly felt like he had become an ape in a circus. Not only did he have to perform for the fans, but Suwan would also comment on his moves: "This move is not good, that move is not good!"

What a deal!

The worst thing was that he heard that Su Wan made tens of millions of dollars from this show...

This is all earned by me!
You don’t even know how to give me some!

LeBron is so hateful.

The first half of February passed in a flash as fans were looking forward to it. Since the New York Knicks acquired Vince Carter, their three-point shooting ability, which was already gradually stable, has become even more stable. This can be seen from the fact that they never lose when facing weak teams.

Finally, all the games were finished before the All-Star Weekend, and the New York Knicks had a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

On February 2, Suwan, Stephen Curry and Vince Carter went to Los Angeles to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend.

Although the All-Star Weekend doesn't start until tomorrow.

But the atmosphere of the entire Los Angeles All-Star Game is already very strong.

The increase in tourists has made the whole city more crowded.

Su Wan was stuck in traffic for three hours. He was thinking about keeping the All-Star tradition and didn't feel like going out for a romantic encounter. But he didn't expect Spike Lee to call him out of the blue.

They exchanged mobile phone numbers back in December.

But this was the first time Spike Lee called Suwan.

He heard that Su Wan had arrived in Los Angeles, so he invited Su Wan to the party.

Su Wan was too tired and wanted to refuse.

"Wait a minute, Su, wait a minute!" Spike Lee must have walked to a corner. Su Wan felt that the noise on the other end was much quieter. Then he lowered his voice and his tone became urgent. "Help is needed. Su Wan, you can't not come. I've already boasted to them that I have a very good relationship with you and I can definitely call you out!"

Su Wan chuckled: "Why are you bragging like that? Spike... just this once!"

"Okay, okay, I've asked the driver to pick you up at your hotel. It will be here in ten minutes!"

"Row!"

Su Wan hung up the phone. The time was really accurate. When it was almost ten minutes, he received another call from Spike Lee. Fortunately, there was no traffic on the way to the party, otherwise Su Wan would have gone crazy.

And when he arrived at the party, he immediately became the focus of attention.

All the people turned their heads and looked towards him.

It would be fine if Su Wan was just good at playing basketball, but the problem is that he is the "5 Million Votes King" and he is a program producer who immediately received 3 million in investment as soon as he started his show. Now this amount has reached 5 million.

Such popularity and money-making ability are what make him shine.

Su Wan followed Spike Lee around the party, letting him show off his talent, then rejected everyone's purposeful approaches and unnecessary enthusiasm, ordered a glass of juice for himself, sat at the bar for a while, and when the time was about right, prepared to leave.

“Have you always been so self-disciplined?”

A somewhat cold voice sounded.

Su Wan turned his head and looked. His deep facial features, cold and beautiful appearance, eye-catching red lips, and a pair of eyes were particularly recognizable:
Scarlett Johansson, the Black Widow.

Her eyes were fixed on Su Wan. Even when Su Wan looked at her and met her eyes, she did not look away. Instead, her gaze became even more intense.

Awesome!
Bim, old Zhan is brave!
LeBron didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Now Su Wan is a little confused...

In terms of looks, Scarlett is definitely to his taste.

But it’s just too short!

Only 160.

Su Wan was sitting on a high stool on the platform, taller than her when she was standing.

Many moves cannot be performed, so how can we enjoy in-depth communication?

But Su Wanduo looked at Scarlett twice and his thoughts changed immediately...

It's just an in-depth discussion. Is it a big deal if the height is not appropriate?

"Whether one is self-disciplined or not depends mainly on the person." Su Wan replied.

"What if it was me?" Scarlett had boldly moved in front of Su Wan, and the tips of their noses were less than 20 centimeters apart.

What else is there to say next.

After an in-depth discussion lasting 10,000 words, it was already the next morning.

Su Wan woke up feeling refreshed.

He had to admit that he had been too superficial before.

Short people have their own way of communicating.

Just last night, he and Scarlett had a lot more topics to discuss that they had not been able to go into before.

"How are you, satisfied?"

Su Wan was just about to put on his clothes and leave secretly, but Scarlett had already woken up, looked at his back and asked a question.

Su Wan was not embarrassed either.

This isn't the first time this has happened.
As he opened the door, he turned and gave Scarlett a thumbs up.

Then he just left.

Scarlett didn't care. She changed her position and continued to sleep.

On the way back, Su Wan heard the gossip about him and Scarlett on the car radio. The driver in front even secretly glanced at Su Wan through the rearview mirror.

Su Wan didn't care. He changed his posture and continued to browse his phone.

And in the same hotel where he was staying, Kevin Durant's heart was broken into pieces.

He had just selected a few of his latest handsome photos and wanted to send them to Scarlett.

result……

I saw the news about Su Wan and Scarlett pop up on my computer.

He covered his face with his hands and rubbed them in pain.

This look is more painful than losing the game.

After a long while, he placed his trembling fingers on the keyboard and typed a few English words:

Are you wearing it?
On the 14th, the All-Star Weekend officially kicked off.

The first day was the rookie challenge. Su Wan did not show up on the scene, but was blocked by Irene in the hotel.

"No...I've chosen so many women for you, and you don't like any of them?" She was very angry.

Su Wan asked back, "How many people do you think are prettier than Scarlett?"

Irene was speechless.

That goblin is really good looking.

"I will look for it according to this standard from now on!"

Erin: "???"

On the 15th, the three major challenge events that the outside world has been looking forward to officially arrived.

Suwan, Erin and Vince Carter gathered in a makeshift studio.

As the host, Erin first asked two people who they thought would be the "Slam Dunk King" this year. Vince Carter chose Blake Griffin. Suwan gave the standard answer: "It can't be LeBron anyway!"

The message board was immediately flooded with messages:

"Hahaha, as expected, this is how much Su Wan hates LeBron. In his opinion, LeBron cannot be ranked first on any list!"

“I also don’t think it can be LeBron!”

"Su Wan, be careful. LeBron will ask you to respect him again later!"

……

In order to increase the fun of the interaction, this time the program directly placed the message board on the big screen at the back so that they can communicate with the fans at any time.

As a result, more fans left messages.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing their message being read by Su Wan.

Ok……

To put it bluntly, it is the later "bullet screen gameplay".

Internet anchors have already done this.

But this is the first time a show has done this.

The fans are very enthusiastic.

Su Wan and others can also adjust the direction of the program based on the speed and content of fans' messages.

Eventually they discovered that fans got really excited when it came to LeBron.

Apparently, the term “fun person” hadn’t been invented yet, but “fun people” were everywhere.

Soon the "Slam Dunk Contest" officially began.

The studio is also connected to the live footage.

The host is introducing the contestants.

When the host called out Griffin, the cheers from the crowd were so loud that it was clear that Griffin is really going strong this year.

Not to mention the team's results, just talking about momentum, his popularity is almost as high as Su Wan back then.

Of course, Griffin did this in Los Angeles, while Suwan did it in Indiana.

The difficulty is totally on a different level.

If Griffin was in Polis, his popularity would probably be similar to that of Stoudemire back then.

It would never have been as popular as it is now.

so……

Platform is really important!
LeBron also noticed this trend. He bit his lips and looked nervous, but when he was introduced, he immediately showed a confident look. He clenched his fists and pounded his chest. He looked very confident.

Then the "Slam Dunk Contest" officially began.

Griffin's first dunk was an explosive 360-degree dunk.

He failed the first time, but he smashed the ball into the basket very vigorously the second time.

Vince Carter nodded slightly: "This is a very good shot!"

For big players, speed and weight are issues when they turn 360 degrees.

Griffin turned fast enough and his final dunk was powerful enough.

This has to do with Griffin's wingspan.

It is precisely because of the short arm span that the dunk appears more powerful.

Without any surprise, the dunk was recognized by Carter and he finally got a high score of 49 points.

The camera then turned to LeBron, who looked visibly dazed.

He obviously didn't expect that the first one to come up would be so ferocious.

It's okay, it's okay...

There are two spots in total for the finals. Even if I can't beat him, I can still fight for the other spot.

He tried to calm himself down.

At this time, Ibaka came on the court.

He just slammed it down from the free throw line.

Vince Carter shook his head: "It's not popular for inside players to do this kind of action."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ibaka's score came out. Only 45 points was not a particularly high score.

LeBron also breathed a sigh of relief.

McGee passed by him, his dull look making him more relaxed:
This should be a "mat"!
So the only person he needs to be careful of is Blake Gerry...

Before he finished his thought, he saw McGee standing outside the three-point line with two balls in his hands. At the same time, the staff pushed up a basket rack and placed it side by side with the previous basket rack.

This scene made everyone stunned.

Including LeBron on the scene, as well as Vince Carter and Erin in the studio.

Only Su Wan showed a "mysterious smile".

To be honest, McGee's dunk in 2010 was definitely a strategic issue. He swapped the order of the dunk in the finals with that in the preliminaries. If Griffin wanted to win the championship, it would not be enough to just jump over cars, he had to jump over helicopters!
It is also for this reason that Su Wan was so confident in pushing LeBron into the dunk contest.

Given the quality of this class, even the original LeBron would have had a hard time making it to the finals.

Now...not to mention!
There were exclamations at the scene and two exclamations in the studio.

There is no way. When McGee starts doing his moves, no one will not exclaim "OMG" because it is really inhumane.

So even if McGee tried many times.

But at the moment he dunked it, all the referees gave 10 points without a doubt.

LeBron's expression was completely dull...

no……

Is this a dunk trick that a human could come up with?
My goodness!

When did the competition in the "Slam Dunk Contest" become so fierce?

The reason why LeBron dares to participate in the dunk contest is that every year the dunk contest is called very hard, but the final result is mostly "blown". In recent years, only Howard's "Superman transformation" creativity has caused a sensation.

The other dunk contests were all crap.

But what happened this year?

It would be fine if there was only Griffin, but damn, there is such a "monster" now!
Where did all this come from?
LeBron didn't know what to say. He decisively adjusted the order of his dunks and directly cooperated with Wade.

The action is still very simple, and it is also his most classic...

After he rushed to the basket, Wade threw the ball into the air, and then he tomahawked the ball directly into the basket.

"Bah!"

A success!
LeBron also took the "Bawang step" to increase his momentum.

The cheers at the scene were also very loud.

Suwan has to admit that even though he doesn't like LeBron, his signature "tomahawk dunk" is still very good.

Vince Carter also said: "Except for the fact that his movements were a little stiff, there were no major flaws. He should be able to score around 46 points..."

The referee raised the card, and the final result of LeBron's first dunk was indeed 46 points.

Two words:
specialized!

Vince Carter then pointed out why LeBron was deducted points: "The dunk was too routine!"

His dunk is actually very similar to Griffin's. The technical difficulty of one is "turning 360 degrees", and the technical difficulty of the other is "catching the ball". Comparing the two, it is obvious which one is more difficult.

Therefore, it is impossible for LeBron to score higher than Griffin.

LeBron was obviously very unhappy with this score.

In his opinion, the dunk based on the "James-Wade connection" should be worth 50 points.

Do these judges only see the dunk itself and fail to see the added value beyond the dunk?

He muttered.

At this time, Griffin performed his second dunk, a one-handed "windmill" in the air. This dunk made LeBron speechless, because it was almost a more difficult version of his previous dunk.

Vince Carter was not very satisfied with Griffin's dunk: "Blake played it safe. He should have chosen a more difficult dunk instead of this easy one. The score of this dunk will only be lower than the previous one."

New Griffin fans on the message board were unhappy: "Who is this bald guy? Can he dunk? Does he know what a dunk is?"

They are very dissatisfied.

But the score given by the judges was indeed not high, only 47 points.

But seeing this score, LeBron was disappointed...

Because if he wants to surpass Griffin, he must complete a "50-point" dunk in the second dunk!
This……

He chose to look at Ibaka and McGee.

Rather than dunking a 50-point dunk himself, he is more looking forward to McGee and Ibaka making mistakes.

As a result, Ibaka made a creative dunk, taking off the bear on the rim while dunking, which also earned him 48 points. LeBron, who scored one point higher than him, had to complete a "47-point" dunk if he wanted to surpass him.

This one is promising…

LeBron's eyes brightened instantly.

The only thing to worry about now is...

How come this BYD guy brought two basketballs onto the court again!

LeBron looked at McGee with a pained look on his face.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that this "monster" was going to perform another perverted dunk.

Good ones don’t work, bad ones work.

LeBron actually guessed it.

McGee was creative again and scored three goals in one dunk.

When he jumped and quickly dunked two balls into the same basket, and then fell down and tried to push the third ball thrown towards the basket next to him into the basket, LeBron felt numb.

What on earth is this brain made of?
He can even think of such a perverted method.

This is a hammer game!
And when McGee really completed this perverted dunk, LeBron closed his eyes in despair.

just now……

Standing in front of LeBron are McGee with 100 points and Griffin with 96 points!
And he now has only 46 points.

If you want to enter the finals, you must complete a "50-point" dunk.

Worse……

If he doesn't want to rank last, then his dunk must be above 47 points, otherwise, he will be the lowest ranked person in this "Slam Dunk Contest".

There is hope of advancing, but there is also the possibility of becoming the last one.

LeBron stood at the fork in the road, under the gaze of the entire audience. He took a deep breath, then suddenly frowned and bent over in pain.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned.

The staff on the sidelines came forward and talked to LeBron for a long time.

Irene looked nervous: "What's wrong with LeBron?"

"I'm going to withdraw from the competition!" Su Wan said.

"What?" Irene thought she didn't hear clearly.

Vince Carter also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then the host said, "Unfortunately, LeBron suddenly felt discomfort in his groin. In order to avoid affecting the regular season, he decided to withdraw directly!"

The news quickly reached the studio. Irene and Carter were stunned and looked at Su Wan with disbelief on their faces.

The message board behind him scrolled rapidly and exploded.

Su Wan smiled:

"LeBron, it's like this!"
