Chapter 139

Seattle ushered in a light snow.

In a trance, time goes by, things change and stars move.

In this way, [-] came before everyone.

The NBA's All-Star voting channel has long been opened, and Qin Fei was not on the shortlist before, so he has no votes at all.

Among the Sonics, Payton currently ranks first in the number of votes among Western defenders.

Then there's Stockton.

The competition pressure in the backcourt of the West is not great. Behind Stockton are Drexler and Kidd, who are evenly divided, and then Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Richmond and others.

Therefore, Los Angeles has a big ball market, and Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones have particularly high votes.

The forwards in the West are Barkley, Kemp and Karl Malone competing. The center position is mainly Olajuwon and O'Neal competing. David Robinson is injured. He played six games this season. The Spurs went straight to the No. [-] pick.

In the eastern part of the competition for the starting position of the All-Stars, only the center is in dispute, and Ewing and Mourning are hard to distinguish.

As for other positions, basically Jordan and Anfernee Hardaway lock the backcourt to start, and Grant Hill and Pippen lock the forwards to start.

Jordan's number of votes is even more overwhelming, far exceeding other contemporary players.

There is nothing Qin Fei has to do in the All-Star Game, so he will participate in the Rookie Challenge.

The rookie challenge in this period is not the later rookies challenging the second-year players. To be precise, it should be called the rookie game. Eighteen rookies form the Eastern and Western teams.

So counting the nine best-performing rookies in the West, Qin Fei is currently on the list.

There was no game on January 76st, and on January [-]nd they played against the [-]ers from afar.

The 76ers are a series of Western Conference road trips, and they have played several games before. This time they came to Seattle, and the team was exhausted.

Qin Fei was very happy that his college friends came here.

On the night of the 76st, Qin Fei came to the hotel where the [-]ers stayed and invited Iverson to dinner.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After shaking hands and bumping their chests enthusiastically, they went to a restaurant near the hotel to have dinner together.

"Seattle's environment and law and order are very good!"

Iverson said with a smile.

"It's okay. The climate here is pretty good, but it often rains, but you came by coincidence. There was a light snow yesterday, but it's sunny today."

Iverson came to Seattle for the first time, and he was very curious about it. After observing it all the way, he said: "Is the atmosphere of basketball very general? I haven't seen a few posters of the Supersonics in this way."

"No, the location of the hotel you are staying in is not good. In some shopping malls, you will see a lot of promotional posters, even my promotional poster."

Iverson said: "It is also necessary to promote you. You are the only first-round rookie of the Sonics this year."

"This year? It should be last year, right?" Qin Fei laughed, insisting on arguing.

"Yes, last year."

Iverson shrugged.

The restaurant chosen by the two is not far from the hotel. It is located in the downtown area. It has two floors. After sitting by the window, you can see the wide and undulating road below.

People on the road are wearing heavy clothes. It seems that it is rare to see snow, so you must wear all the clothes you should wear.

"The previous game against Houston was very good. I scored more than 20 points!" Iverson said to Qin Fei with a smile.

"It's okay, don't you average more than 20 points per game, and you have reached your average level." In front of Iverson, Qin Fei always had to be humble. Now Iverson is in the top ten scoring list in the league. He has this level in the first year of his career, and he is not popular.

Of course, Iverson singled out the Bulls the most. Not only is his personal data bursting, but the shot that swayed Jordan can be replayed a hundred times.

In the All-Star voting in the Eastern Conference backcourt, Iverson now ranks third in votes.

"I told you a long time ago that the NBA is easier to score than when I was in college, and it is also easier to assist." When talking about games, his face is always shining.

"Why should assists be easier?"

"Because there is a lot of space, and the finishing ability of teammates is stronger." Iverson said that in the 76ers team, although not the top team in the league, the average NBA player has a strong ability to grasp the open space, pass the inside basket to finish, pass outside long shots to finish, and sometimes get a dozen or so assists in a game without knowing it, which is much easier than in college.

During this period, because of Stackhouse, Iverson played point guard, and organizing the game was part of his task.

"You mean I don't have enough finishing ability?"

Iverson said in surprise: "How could you say that, I didn't mean it."

"That's good." Qin Fei nodded with satisfaction.

As a result, Iverson joked again: "I mean, your finishing ability is too poor"

Qin Fei:

"Okay, just kidding."

Iverson laughed.

The two chatted a few more words, and then Iverson talked about the recent 76ers game. Although his personal data is very good, the team has been losing.

"It's okay, there is always a winner or loser in the game, and the Sonics don't win all the time. For example, we lost two games in December."

Iverson:

"It can't be my fault, I lie down and win every day."

Qin Fei spread his hands, expressing that he would not take the blame.

On the second night, many Iverson fans came to the key arena.

Iverson has won the favor of the outside world with his unique style of play. For short people, he is simply synonymous with dreams.

And he is maverick, rebellious, very individual.

艾弗森这晚上出战43分钟，21投8中砍下20分5篮板5助攻3抢断，但是同时也出现了7次失误。

The 76ers lost the game 82 to 96 without much effort.

After the game, Payton was full of praise for Iverson.

"He has a lot of energy in his body. It is really difficult to defend him. He is a phenomenal player."

Being able to get Payton's approval shows that Iverson's offensive ability is indeed remarkable.

Sure enough, Qin Fei scored only single digits in this game, with 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. He played 19 minutes and made no mistakes.

No mistakes is one of Qin Fei's many labels, he hardly makes mistakes on the court.

"Where did the mistake come from not holding the ball?" Qin Fei thought to himself, is this a compliment to himself?

After the match, Iverson bid farewell to Qin Fei and left Seattle to challenge the Grizzlies back to back.

Vancouver is only [-] kilometers away from Seattle. Generally, when a team arrives in Seattle, they will go to play the Grizzlies or the Trail Blazers. This is a combined package, just like going to Texas or Los Angeles. It’s a shame that they don’t play two more teams.

This is the cost control on the NBA schedule, which is very reasonable.

After the Sonics played the 76ers at home, they took a day off in Seattle and then went to Sacramento to challenge the Kings.

From this period to before the All-Star Game, the schedule is relatively tight, and the back-to-back schedule will gradually increase.

When the fatigue reaches its peak, the All-Star Weekend can give most of the players a vacation, followed by the sprint stage at the end of the season.

All in all, time flies by.

Two days later, the Sonics returned to Seattle.

Qin Fei received a call from Tellem.

"The person in charge of the previously signed clothing brand has been in Seattle for the past two days and wants to meet you. I wonder if you are free?"

"Of course it's empty, there's a week of games in Seattle and then an away game."

"Since it's free, I'll come over tomorrow?"

Qin Fei wondered: "You don't need to come here, I can go by myself, don't they have a company in Seattle?"

"Yes, I am afraid that you will be in trouble, so I want to help you solve it, including making an appointment."

Tellem on the phone was still very polite, adhering to the consistent purpose of serving customers with all his strength.

"Okay, you and Rob can come to any one."

Since he said so, Qin Fei didn't refuse, it was just a meeting anyway.
