The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 328 [Peak Showdown, Star Wars]

Ye Feng's proposal was liked by the fans, and this idea also showed his extraordinary self-confidence.

There are very few stars in the NBA who are openly singled out, and many people can't afford to lose.On the street court, the best style of play is heads-up, and hitting the ball in a way that humiliates the opponent is the essence of street basketball. Today's NBA lacks that kind of exciting and casual style of play.

The group of so-called big-name stars in today's league, instead of yelling from the air and making insinuations in various interviews, it is better to keep their mouths shut and directly decide the outcome on the field.

On the Internet, you can often see fans saying that a certain star is invincible in singles.It is useless to say, and analysis is useless, and no one can convince anyone without evidence.But if you compete directly on the second day of the All-Star Game, everything will be clear.Of course, being single-handedly strong does not mean that the game is strong. This is just entertainment, and it can satisfy the curiosity of fans at the same time.

Ye Feng thinks that if Sternken does this, by then, an all-star weekend heads-up match can easily reach the attention of a tennis grand slam final, a WWE of the century, and a heavyweight title fight.During the break between the second group after a heads-up match, commercials can earn the NBA $[-] million.

In that way, the next day's challenge game may become as interesting as the All-Star game, and it will not make people drowsy.The duration of the event could be extended, or the hybrid shoot-and-skills contest could be canceled altogether.

Basically no one pays attention to these two games, except for being boring or boring.The stars who participated in the mixed shooting are all outdated and meaningless.As for the technical challenge, is it possible to pass a few obstacles and pass the ball accurately when no one is defending to reflect the technology?That is totally different from the real game. As long as it is a point guard who can start in the NBA, the passing speed will not be too slow.Look for a defender like CJ Watson who has almost no assists in the game to participate in the skills challenge. He may not be worse than Wall and Paul.Because he is three-point accurate, that link can save time...

Of course, it is quite difficult to implement heads-up competitions. Now the atmosphere of the league has changed, the league is more commercial, and the players are more delicate.

At that time, there will definitely be some people who worship idols and lose their thinking ability to stand up and say that the stars of this era are all concerned about saving face and should not participate in this kind of competition.It's like those masters and kung fu masters in ancient times competed behind closed doors, and they couldn't let outsiders know the results.The more expert you are, the less you can casually fight with others, let alone lose casually.

Zhang Lili mentioned this problem, saying that it is difficult to implement, and gave Ye Feng an example from the characters in Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Director Zhang, there are indeed examples in Jin Yong's novels of committing suicide if they lose, and they don't like to let people watch the duel of masters. But this is not the case in Gu Long's novels. The decisive battles between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are all chosen in The top of the Forbidden City. There are also masters who like to be seen, and I think this kind of game helps players improve their personal abilities."

The two commentators did not expect that although Ye Feng is of Chinese origin, he still has a relatively good understanding of Chinese culture, so he listened attentively.

Ye Feng gave another example.

In "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", 20 years ago, the old man Tianji surpassed Shangguan Jinhong in martial arts, but since he had already reached the first place, there was no goal that he had to surpass. , would make him terrified, so he instinctively began to reject martial arts. Twenty years later, although his internal strength, moves, and state are still there, he no longer has the mentality and fighting spirit of being number one in the world, so he can't exert 20% of his power in the decisive battle.But Shangguan Jinhong was just the opposite. For 20 years, he had been holding back his desire to surpass, and his fighting spirit was even higher during the duel, so he won.It is not a good thing for masters not to compete with others and to pay too much attention to reputation.

Back then Chamberlain, Irving, Archibald, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others were regulars at Rock Park, and they took the risk of being humiliated to go heads-up with those legendary street players, leaving a lot of stories.

In the 70s, Gervin, Thompson and others also dared to go heads-up. In the 80s, Wilkins and Jordan also killed the sky.How could the stars at that time not be afraid of being ashamed if they lost in a one-on-one match?It is not that Jordan has never lost in singles, but people can accept that he is still a basketball trapeze.

Looking at it now, LeBron James is shying away from participating in the slam dunk contest again and again, let alone the heads-up competition?The league's hype just spoiled him.If he is a person who dares to show his personal ability and is a little bit responsible, he will not run to the Heat to form a team at his peak.

If the stars are unwilling to participate, Ye Feng also has a way.At that time, the prize money for the champion of the one-on-one heads-up competition can be set at 500 million or even 1000 million US dollars, and there must be a brave man under the reward.Don't worry about the source of the bonus, as long as the host says: "The following is the heads-up final of Ye Feng VS LeBron", not to mention the TV ratings, advertisers will scramble to throw dollars at Stern's feet.

The prize money of a boxing championship is tens of millions, and sometimes it is over in two or three rounds, and the audience still thinks it is worth the ticket price. Why can't the NBA go that route and show people what basketball is at its best?Basketball is always a team sport, but most fans prefer individual heroism. Because of this, NBA scoring champions are often the most popular.

Ye Feng is going to write a detailed plan to Stern.Heads-up bouts are divided into groups, just like boxing bouts.It can be divided into three groups of center, forward and defender to compete, and each group will determine a champion.Otherwise, no matter how fierce Paul is, if he and Howard are singled out, can they win?

With Stern's treacherous and cunning character, how could he not see that the money is boundless?So far, there has been no heads-up match, perhaps because Stern worried that it would be rash to suddenly increase such matches.

And there was no three-point contest and dunk contest during the All-Star Weekend. The great slam dunk contest of the ABA in 1976 was born entirely because the audience wanted to see superstars challenge the dunk limit without interference, and the great dunk of that era was still a rarity, and so was the three-point contest.These games are the product of the enthusiasm of the audience.

Now, it’s time for fans to watch heads-ups. Whether it’s the All-Star Game, the dunk contest, or the three-point contest, they all exist for entertainment rather than competition. All-Stars are born for basketball entertainment. Joy and basketball are far away more important than tradition.But heads-up will increase the excitement of the All-Star Game. Thinking about the gimmicks and the accompanying dollars, Ye Feng believes that as long as he proposes, Stern will seriously consider it.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the slam dunk contest finally came to an end. Griffin's last dunk still got a car, leaped over the front of the car and dunked in the air.There are quite a few French street players who can dunk on the top of a car, and Griffin's dunk is simply not enough.

Even so, Griffin defeated Jennings with 67% approval rate and won the championship.Jennings is so uncreative, it's all actions that people have dunked before.

Ye Feng finished his cameo commentary work very unenthusiastically. Griffin's dunk couldn't bring him any surprises, not to mention that he had seen it in his previous life, so there was no suspense.

There is only one day left of the NBA All-Star weekend.The media pointed out that in this All-Star Game, many records may be broken.

Kobe currently has a total score of 207 points in the All-Star Game, ranking seventh in history. He is likely to rise to the top 7 in history in this game.Irving is currently ranked fifth. His All-Star score is 5 points. Kobe only needs to score 5 points to complete the surpass.

In terms of three-pointers, Ray Allen ranks first in both shots and hits. He will continue to refresh his statistics in this competition.

In addition, Pettit has won the All-Star MVP 4 times, and is the player who has won the most All-Star MVPs. Kobe has won the All-Star Game MVP 3 times. If he wins the MVP again in this game, he will tie Pettit and tie First in history.

Many fans left messages supporting Kobe to win the MVP and surpass Jordan.This transcendence is actually meaningless. Back then, Jordan’s scores were usually high and the number of key games was higher. Kobe was too far behind in these two items. As for the All-Stars, Jordan just went to play and won three MVPs.

Now Kobe's most conflicting question is, Ye Feng said he wants to win the MVP with him, should he pass the ball to him?If you don't pass it on, you seem very impatient, but if you pass it on... What if Ye Feng scores wildly and the statistics leave him far away, what if he gets the exclusive MVP?In Bryant's view, this situation is very likely to happen.Ye Feng is a weird person, there is nothing he can't do.

Kobe hates Ye Feng, not just because the Lakers were eliminated twice in the playoffs.He had a chance to win the MVP in the All-Star Game last season, leading Nowitzki in scoring all the time. In the second half of the fourth quarter, Thibodeau actually replaced him and put him on the bench, allowing Nowitzki to complete the overtake... ...combined these things, Kobe Bryant did not like the Clippers at all.

Ye Feng felt very relaxed.He has already figured it out. Just like last season, he can grab rebounds and assists even if he scores few points, and try to gamble steals as much as possible in defense.The overall strength of the West is stronger than that of the East this year. It is not difficult to win. In terms of performance, he dunks beautifully, and his teammates will be happy to pass the ball to him. He has an advantage over Kobe in terms of statistics. As long as the Heat don’t " Mess up" is fine.

The coach of the Eastern Conference is Spoelstra of the Heat. For this reason, it is difficult for the Eastern Conference stars to win.For the sake of the regular season and the physical strength of the players, it is impossible for Spoelstra to let the Heat foursome play for too long, and the Celtics Big Three will not work very hard. How can the East win?

There are a total of 12 stars in the East, and these two teams account for 8. It is definitely not enough to count on the double stars of the Nets, Lopez and Wall.

Popovich is the head coach of the Western Conference, but Ye Feng doesn't have to worry about the short playing time. Popovich doesn't care about the All-Star Game. He will definitely hide Duncan and Ginobili. As for the core of competitors like Ye Feng and Kobe , of course, the longer the playing time, the better.

Popovich also had to let Ye Feng and Kobe play longer, otherwise all the fans in the audience would fight him desperately, he would not do such stupid things.

On the evening of the 20th, the "main course" of Star Weekend was finally on the table.All the tickets have been sold out long ago. In order to ensure the safe and orderly entry of fans during the game, the roads around the Staples Center will be blocked from 3 o'clock.

If this star game is compared to a Hollywood blockbuster, it must be a superior work, because it has a solid plot that commercial films do not have, entertainment highlights that art films lack, and low-budget films cannot match. Hollywood-style packaging.

There are many big-name stars in the entertainment industry sitting in the front row of the auditorium, and many countries around the world will broadcast live.In this game, Yi Jianlian also became a guest commentator, and sat in the commentary seat with Huang Jianxiang and black people.

It's hard for celebrities to get together once, so how can it be done without making a fuss?The funny and show off started from the moment of appearance.

Same as in the past, when the 24 All-Stars introduce their appearances, they follow the order of substitutes first, then starters, first small cards and then big cards.The East's bench is a bit "serious". Of course, this is also related to their age, but when the five funny masters, James, Rondo, Stoudemire, Wade, and Howard, appeared, the scene immediately became active stand up.

It was the first time for Stoudemire to play as a starter in the Eastern Conference. After walking out through the flip door on the big screen, Stoudemire made a Chinese kung fu show and yelled, which was very shocking.

James' funnyness is also very interesting.After he played, he shook hands with Wade beside him earnestly, as if they didn't know each other before, and this small gesture also caused a burst of laughter from the fans at the scene.

Then the eastern starters collectively sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, putting on a show to their heart's content.

The appearance of Western Conference players is relatively dull, whether they are substitutes or starters, they are all people who are not good at showing off.

When he started the game, he was even a little serious. Duncan had no expression on his face. He started for Yao Ming, so he had nothing to be proud of.The second person to appear was Durant. He had been suppressed by Ye Feng for more than three years. Being a teammate with Ye Feng made him feel uncomfortable and his smile was very stiff.The third person is Chris Paul. The Hornets have been managed by the league. His mind is full of transfers, and he is not in the mood to show off.The fourth person is Kobe. He is in a worse mood and has a bitter smile, because he is not the finale. The league obviously thinks that Ye Feng is stronger and more popular than him.

As the most important figure, Ye Feng was arranged to play last, which proved his status in the league.He didn't try to be funny, he just smiled and waved at the fans around him. This simple action caused the fans to go crazy, and the cheers overwhelmed everyone who had played before.

Kobe doesn't want to admit it, Ye Feng is already the king of Los Angeles, and the Clippers have become the most popular team in Los Angeles.

After the appearance ceremony, the game will begin.Popovich didn't arrange any tactics, the defense man-to-man, and the offense played casually.

TN*T radio commentator Kenny Smith analyzed the relationship between victory and defeat, and said with a smile: "I think the West will definitely win this game, and it is possible to score a high score. In this game, Ye Feng and Kobe are both determined to win the MVP. They They will definitely play harder, although the four of the Heat said before the game that they want to lead the Eastern Conference to victory, but whether the coach will let them fight is still unknown."

Barkley stood firm. "I hope Ye Feng gets the MVP, I hope he can score more points!"
