Ben Wallace stayed in the hospital for a week. Although his face was still swollen and his teeth were still loose, his mind was no longer buzzing and he could watch TV and read newspapers.
When he turned on the TV and saw Su Xi becoming the player with the most All-Star votes in history, he couldn't accept it: What happened? Is it my brain that is shaking, or is it the world?
He hurried to watch the TNT show, and then he saw Tracy McGrady's expression of loss and anger. "This is no longer a basketball game, this is a competition between star-struck fans. Hollywood has invaded the NBA. We are about to compete in acting skills. To be honest, Su Xi's acting skills are really good. He can go to Hollywood to perform. He will obviously compete with Ben Hua. Rice was hospitalized and vacationed in Miami, but the league did not punish him."
"His commercial value is not affected at all. Everyone thinks he is a victim. Ben Wallace is the notorious one..."
Buzz!
Ben Wallace heard this sentence in front of the TV, and his head suddenly buzzed again.
What?
I was beaten like this, but that bastard was not punished?
He hurriedly called to inquire. When he learned that he had been suspended for 13 games and fined US$50,000, while Su Xi was only suspended for a symbolic 2 games, he felt completely bad. He wanted to protest, he wanted to accuse, he wanted to hold a press conference to announce his grievances, and tell the world that Su Xi was the bastard, he was the one who tripped him, he was the one who punched his face, he was the one who kicked himself.
Ben Wallace's whole body was numb. Is there any justice or justice?
He called his agent and he was going to hold a press conference.
He was very angry and said a lot of things.
Then, the agent asked him a question: "Are you going to tell everyone in a big way that it was actually you who was beaten by Su Xi the Sheep?"
"Well? Is there a problem?" Ben Wallace asked.
"Think about it again," the agent said.
Ben Wallace then realized something was wrong.
"You are a tough guy respected by the whole league. Now that the punishment has almost been carried out, you come out and say that you were beaten. Do you think the league will change it? Also, what do you think the fans will think of you? Do you think you will Is she a bitch?" The agent's words struck a chord in Wallace's heart.
"Then I'm going to suffer this loss in vain?" Wallace said angrily.
"Yes." The agent was honest. "You have indeed fallen into his hands this time. The only thing you can do now is to remain silent and swallow your grievances and anguish silently. Then wait for the right time to win back!"
Ben Wallace was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, the agent also said: "Now that the heat of this matter has passed, the whole world is concerned about the love triangle of Susie the Sheep. The heat of the violence at the Palace of Auburn Hills has completely passed."
"Don't mention it again."
The agent finally said.
Ben Wallace felt really uncomfortable, but there was really nothing he could do.
Even if he is not mute, he has to swallow this Coptis chinensis.
…
The day after Ben Wallace was released from the hospital, the Detroit Pistons made a deal that traded several scraps and draft picks to the Hawks for Rasheed Wallace. At the same time, the Pacers reached a deal to sign Kenny Anderson with a minimum salary.
Kenny Anderson was bought out by the Cleveland Cavaliers three days ago. He and James were incompatible and disliked each other. Therefore, they broke up with the Cavaliers and each went his own way.
The Pacers immediately offered him an olive branch, and he happily accepted the Pacers' minimum salary contract.
In the Pacers, he doesn't have to readjust to new tactics. Moreover, because of Su Xi's physical problems, the Pacers also need a point guard who is familiar with tactics, and Kenny Anderson is the best choice.
"Any player who is unwilling to be a slave to James will leave. I am not the first, nor will I be the last." Kenny Anderson did not forget to say two rubbish words when he left: "The Cavaliers are a semi-feudal team."
These words are sonorous and powerful.
As a result, Nike had to increase marketing expenses.
Kenny Anderson's statement was immediately drowned out by black press releases in the media. After all, Kenny Anderson had a lot of bad stuff when he was young. At that time, he was a talented defender who was proud of his talent.
These press releases prove that Kenny Anderson is a problem player who is difficult to deal with. The Cavaliers are justified in cutting him. He is pouring dirty water on the chosen one.
But... this has proven that the internal conflicts within the Cavaliers have reached an irreconcilable point.
When Susie was traded, many media said that the Cavaliers made a lot of money and the Pacers paid too much.
However, instead of improving their record, the Cavaliers fell out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
However, the Pacers firmly ranked first in the league and completed their revenge against the Pistons. Now, it is attracting Kenny Anderson to return.
The first thing Kenny Anderson said when he returned to the Pacers: "Everyone wants to come back now. Even Stephen Jackson asked me about the climate in Indiana. No one wants to play with the chosen one who is superior to others. None of his skills are top-notch. Yes, but he enjoys all the privileges, and every tactic is for his teammates to adapt to him, instead of him using his own abilities to make his teammates more comfortable."
"More selfish than I was back then."
As soon as Kenny Anderson said these words, Larry Bird couldn't hold back.
Bird asked him: "Do you have a good relationship with Stephen Jackson? I am very interested in him."
Anderson slapped his chest and said, "He and I have a very good relationship, and we have revolutionary feelings. There is no entertainment in Cleveland, so we often play alone together..."
Larry Bird reached down and pressed down, stopping Anderson's detailed description. He knew Anderson was a talent. He only asked the key points: "Tell him, if he doesn't want to play in the Cavaliers, he can come to us and we will give him a contract that matches his worth."
Anderson clapped his hands and said, "It's bad, I shouldn't have bothered like this. If I bothered like this, the Cavaliers wouldn't let him go again. Otherwise, wouldn't it have confirmed my attack?"
"Then keep in touch, there will always be a chance. You have to cooperate with Jack well, do a good job in rotation time, and share his pressure." Larry Bird told him: "Now, he is our leader." Luo Endu has already admitted that if you don't do your job, you will really get beaten."
Bird reminded Anderson of the former thorn.
Anderson was a bit indifferent at first.
However, when he appeared in the locker room again and greeted Su Xi, he said, "I didn't expect you to be like this..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tony Barty, who was sitting next to Su Xi, stand up aggressively and glare at him fiercely.
Tony Barty has a bit of a fierce look and a lot of momentum. This is why when he and Pierce stood at the door of the ballroom at the same time, the gangster chose to stab Pierce 13 times in 35 seconds and did not dare to stab him.
Anderson closed his mouth subconsciously. The image of Tony Batty stomping on Ben Wallace's head at the Palace of Auburn Hills is still fresh in my mind.
"Jack, if I play unreasonably in the future, please remind me more." Kenny Anderson patted Su Xi on the shoulder and said modestly.
This left other players such as Reggie Miller and O'Neal stunned.
When did Kenny become so polite? What happened to him in Cleveland? Is LeBron James really a brutal locker room bully?
"Study together, learn together." Su Xi said with a smile.
The Pacers had just finished the game in Miami, took a long flight to Salt Lake City, and then headed to Denver.
Salt Lake City was once the home of the Devils. It has declined somewhat over the years, but it has always maintained a spot in the playoffs.
When Su Xi appeared on the court, he was booed overwhelmingly.
Conservative Salt Lake City fans dislike Susie's love triangle very much, even though it has now become the focus of heated discussions across the country, with everyone concerned about who can win Susie's favor, Scarlett or Jessica.
This guessing game even attracted the attention of some gambling websites, and those talk shows also made crazy jokes about these three people.
The three people's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
This has attracted more attention from young people than the love triangle between Brad Pitt, Angelina and Jennifer.
To a certain extent, this national carnival of "Real Love Game" has given the three people a qualitative leap in popularity, and businesses and producers have begun to pay for it. The advertising quotations of all three of them have been rising sharply.
However, with every gain comes a loss.
For example, now, Su Xi has lost the love of the Demon Sect cultists in Salt Lake City.
However, who cares?
Suhi scored 15 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in Miami. In Salt Lake City, coach Sloan used Arroyo and LaGabell to repeatedly pester him and disrupt his offensive rhythm.
Their two-man defense had some effect, but not much.
Since Su Xi upgraded his super strength talent to 97 on Ben Wallace, his breakthroughs on the outside have become undefendable, especially in single defense, it is difficult to limit him.
Su Xi exhausted Jazz boss Kirilenko in this game. Kirilenko is a player with a strong ability to "fill in the blanks". He is one of the few players in the league today who can complete 5X5.
However, Su Xi was slippery and used passing balls to mobilize his enthusiasm. In the end, that night, the Pacers' wings blossomed more. Artest and Miller each hit 4 three-pointers.
The Jazz lost the chance of winning if they didn't last until the fourth quarter.
After the game, Jazz legend Stockton said: "Suzy the Lamb is very suitable for Coach Sloan's tactics. He is very strong, has good attacking ability but is not hot-headed. His passing vision and passing technique are average, but his tactical execution is strong. Be firm and decisive.”
"Coach Sloan likes this type of point guard the most."
kindness?
Are you complimenting me?
Suzy was on a plane flying to Denver when she saw a news report from Salt Lake City.
The Pacers have a dedicated 'press officer' who specializes in collecting sports news for the players. The responsibilities are equivalent to Frank next to LeBron James.
In fact, Coach Sloan also praised Suhi at the post-game press conference. He said that Suhi's role is not reflected in the data.
10 points, 15 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
Is this data bad?
Su Xi frowned.
…
Carmelo Anthony warmly entertained Susie in Denver. He drove an exaggerated Hummer to the airport to receive Susie.
Their relationship was very good, and what surprised Su Xi was...McNabara was also in the car.
"This is my surprise for you."
Anthony said proudly.
The three of them had been very close in college, when Anthony and McNabala were often jealous over competing for the one-on-one spot with Susie.
At that time, they may not have dreamed that Su Xi would become an NBA player.
Su Xi didn't stand out at Syracuse University at the beginning. It wasn't until she entered the national championship that she played better every game. Especially after McNabala was injured, he stepped up. The finals played a decisive role in turning the tide, winning the NCAA's unprecedented super quadruple-double and being elected MOP.
"Jack, I never dreamed that you would be the first All-Star player in our class." Carmelo Anthony said with emotion: "At that time, I wanted you to be my assistant agent after graduation. , with your intelligence you will definitely become a top agent in the NBA."
McNabala also sighed: "Yeah. I didn't expect it either."
Then, he suddenly punched Su Xi in the chest: "You bastard, do you know what I did to get over my obsession with Jessica Alba? I started pursuing Scarlett Johansson!!! But now... look at how they both fought for you."
"Why are you specifically grabbing my idol?"
McNabara actually cried.
But Carmelo Anthony laughed. He couldn't help but come up with a bad idea: "Hey, brother. Next, you can find the ugliest female star to like. If she is with Jack again, it will prove that Jack is really Targeting you."
McNabara shook his head: "I am a face control person."
"Then you deserve it." Anthony no longer sympathized with him.
The three of them chatted happily for a long time, and Anthony now began to show off his collection of cigars and red wine. He became more and more like a high-class person.
McNabara sighed: "You still have to be an NBA player. One of you becomes a high-class person, and the other becomes a high-class person every day."
Anthony rolled his eyes at him angrily.
Then, McNabara went to the swimming pool to play with the pretty girl.
Anthony arranged it for him.
Be brothers and be loyal.
"Jack, you are very popular now, but there are also many people who are jealous of you." Anthony said, "Many superstars want to teach you a lesson."
Su Xi was considered by many basketball media and basketball stars to have destroyed the ecological balance of the NBA, especially after Su Xi's All-Star votes broke the historical record. Many superstars, not just Tracy McGrady, said that Su Xi relied on women to get to the top. Su Xi is not a basketball star at all, but a Hollywood star.
Su Xi was too lazy to pay attention to this.
However, Anthony, as a good brother, was a little worried.
Once NBA superstars collectively target a rookie, the rookie can easily be suppressed. As strong as Kobe, he was also benched back then. Jordan was so good back then, but he was also isolated in the All-Star locker room by the assassins.
Su Xi said: "I don't think about this now, Anthony, let's challenge each other."
Anthony readily agreed.
They fought hard, but Su Xi defended Anthony's attack.
After Anthony entered the NBA, his offense became more sophisticated and improved rapidly. This is why he can lead the Nuggets into the top eight in the Western Conference.
However, Suhi's defensive improvement is even greater.
Anthony attacked 15 times and only hit 7 times.
Su Xi defended 8 times. This success rate is frighteningly high.
Although Anthony said it was because he didn't warm up, he was shocked inside. Su Xi's physical talents have improved too quickly, including strength, explosive power, speed, coordination and especially flexibility.
Also, the defense is getting stronger and stronger.
All this impressed Anthony.
After practice, the two were lying on the floor. Anthony couldn't help but ask Su Xi: "Jack, is there any possibility of repairing the relationship between you and LeBron? When LeBron came to Denver last week, he mentioned you. Say you failed him."
"He blamed you for all the reasons for your separation. He also said that you are still irritating him."
Anthony said that as a friend of both parties, he hoped to mediate the conflict between the two.
Su Xi opened his palms and felt incredible. "I don't know why he said that."
"But I think if he doesn't change his established thinking, it will be difficult for him and I to return to the same situation as before." Su Xi said: "He always feels that I should be inferior to him. He wants me to be better, but he doesn't want me to be better than him." OK. You know what I mean? He wanted me to be like Pippen and Jordan."
"But, I don't think he showed Jordan's control."
When Su Xi was in front of Anthony, he spoke very sincerely. This is the first time he has talked about his relationship with James since leaving the Cavaliers.
Anthony thought thoughtfully and said after a while: "Actually, I thought you were inappropriate from the beginning."
"Let's not talk about this topic anymore." Su Xi waved her hand.
Anthony began to talk to Su Xi about his love life. Anthony was a prodigal son. After he entered the NBA, he further released his nature. He played more than Su Xi.
But he didn't make the headlines.
…
The Indiana Pacers continue to win in Denver, and then the Pacers head to Texas.
They will be on a Devils road trip in the Southwest Division.
The Mavericks, Spurs, and Rockets, the top three in Texas are considered to be the testers for strong teams. If you want to win the championship, you have to pass three levels.
The last time Su Xi came, she was following the knight.
He lost against the Spurs and Mavericks, and he was traded against the Rockets before he came on the court.
Therefore, Su Xi felt like she was in another world.
Barkley also joked about Su Xi on TV: This time, the little sheep Su Xi will not be traded before the Chinese Derby, right? If he sang during halftime again, I have a feeling the record companies would go straight to him and sign him.
It is worth mentioning that the Houston Rockets have done a big job this time.
They announced in advance that they would invite Scarlett Johansson and Hilary Duff to perform the halftime show.
This made Scarlett Suzy's CP fans have a collective climax, and the entertainment media followed up with reports. For a while, the momentum was like a tsunami.
This could also allow Susie to meet Scarlett for a third time.
To be honest, Su Xi had a little expectation.
After all, he and Scarlett had skin-to-skin contact.
Moreover, Scarlett also has the talent of super agility.
