Chapter 1922: After Being Called Out for a Long Time, It Comes Out

Pull your crotch!

Pull your crotch!

Still fucking crotch pulling!

As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

This All-Star Individual Competition interprets this sentence vividly.

Not to mention the first few events, Orlando opened a blacksmith shop, but the last major event, the slam dunk contest, which is also preserved by countless classic scenes, ended in such a messy way, which simply made the fans who were looking forward to it feel like they were eating shit. General discomfort.

Many Orlando fans themselves complained that they walked into the stadium with joy, only to be greeted by a bad movie.

Fans are making crazy complaints online!

"It sucks. This is not the slam dunk contest in my mind!~"

"To be honest, I was planning to vote. This new way of counting votes gave me, a die-hard computer fan, a sense of participation for the first time. It was a big win. I didn't vote after the game because this was not a slam dunk contest, this was It’s a bad competition, these guys I can’t name ruined the perfect slam dunk contest in my mind!”

"Calling Ji Feng! The absence of Ji Feng in the All-Star individual events is really eye-catching. No one scored more than 20 points in the three-point contest, won the skill contest in more than 30 seconds, and each dunk contest was worse than the last. This is the darkest event in the history of the All-Stars. one day!"

"Today has ruined all my hard-earned goodwill towards the All-Stars. These guys don't take this game seriously at all and are firmly opposed to gangsters joining the All-Stars, otherwise we won't watch it in the future!!!"

…

Angry fans even called a group of players who participated in the game tonight a hot topic. Irving, Westbrook, who accidentally pulled his hips, and even Griffin who performed poorly in the rookie game were called bastards by fans, and even Many people threatened that they would never vote for them again.

Evans, who won the slam dunk contest, was even worse. He had no reputation and few fans, so he was criticized the most. Even his personal social account increased by 300,000 followers overnight, but there is no need to be happy. They specifically paid attention to him and scolded him...

Evans himself was really on the verge of tears. Winning the slam dunk title was originally a joyful thing. He was really excited, but he didn't expect to be scolded like this... He should be the worst dunk in history. King.

Coupled with the "honor" given to him by the media and fans as the "worst dunk king in history", Evans has achieved two best dunks in history overnight, which is unprecedented and rare.

"I don't know what happened. I just tried my best to play." Evans said during the interview. It could be heard that he was still very aggrieved.

But to be honest, you can't blame him. He just suffered an unreasonable disaster. These are the people the league selected this year. They are the tallest among the shortest. Evans' win at least proves that he is better than the other three, and he did not cheat. Being scolded is really unfair.

But he can only blame his bad luck. In the seasons before him, the dunk contest was really too successful. The emergence of Ji Feng and the enthusiastic joining of powerful guys like Howard jointly transformed the dunk contest. Pushed to a new level, this directly raised people's expectations for the Slam Dunk Contest. It can be said that the Slam Dunk Contest in previous seasons is difficult to replicate. It is a classic in NBA history, and you win the championship in this way at this time. , it really hit the target.

In other words, Evans is just the poor scapegoat, and the same goes for other players. The blame is that Ji Feng is too strong, and his performance in the All-Star Game is really good.

The poor guys just became the scapegoats after Ji Feng quit.

Stern is also helpless about this. He naturally knows that there is no second Ji Feng in the world. While Ji Feng has pushed the All-Stars to such a high level, it also brings hidden dangers, that is, once Ji Feng withdraws, then It would be disastrous. After all, Ji Feng's attributes are irreplaceable. No one can have Ji Feng's strength and influence.

But Stern can't let Ji Feng continue to participate. No matter whether Ji Feng is willing or not, others will not be able to play. Therefore, this competition has carried out drastic reform of the competition system, just to find a new brand in the post-Ji Feng era. path of.

However, it seems that it failed.

While a group of stars were scolded, Ji Feng began to be missed by countless fans. Many fans left messages hoping that Ji Feng would return to the All-Star individual competition again.

Even O'Neal said in public: "I hope Ji Feng will consider returning to the dunk contest. His dunks are unparalleled."

Many reporters also interviewed Ji Feng.

An ESPN reporter interviewed Ji Feng after the dunk contest ended and said, "Are you satisfied with tonight's dunk contest?"

"Satisfied? Well... everyone's dunks are very distinctive, but they still need to continue to practice on the training ground." Ji Feng said it very euphemistically, but it was really obvious.

However, he quickly added: "As for Evans, I think people are too harsh on him. In fact, his performance is still very good. Although the success rate needs to be improved, it is true that he won the championship with his performance in this session." Well deserved.”

Evans did indeed encounter a disaster. He was only of average skill, while his opponent was of poor skill. No matter how hard it was, it was not his fault.

"Both game days of this All-Star Game were unsatisfactory. Many people said it was because you didn't participate. What do you think? Do you have the intention to return to individual competitions again?" The reporter then asked, which is what many people think most about. As for the issue of concern, forget about the rookie competition, but the difference between individual competitions without Ji Feng and those with Ji Feng is really too big.

"Well, I don't dare to say that. The All-Star Game is a grand event for the entire league. There are dozens of outstanding players here, and not all of them came to see me. As for the performance of the game, it has to do with too many factors. You can't just blame Players, we are just doing our part," Ji Feng said. The blame was too big and he had no intention of taking it. It should have been obvious that the All-Stars' attention was declining as early as the lockout. , it just seems more serious now.

"As for returning to individual competitions, maybe one day I will, just to see if anyone interested me shows up." Ji Feng said, he is not opposed to participating in such competitions, unlike Lao Zhan, who often wanders around. Likewise, he still likes this kind of atmosphere, so he doesn't rule out that he will come back one day. Of course, that is only if someone shows up who inspires his desire to win, otherwise it will be too boring.

The reporter's eyes lit up when he heard this. This sentence is enough!

then…

"Ji Feng intends to return to individual competitions!" broke the Internet. Fans who were still scolding the Orlando All-Star Game began to look forward to next year's Houston All-Star Game.

Ji Feng raised his forehead, these reporters are really awesome.

But there is nothing to say, it just gives him another boost in popularity. Many people have discovered that although Ji Feng has not appeared on the court in the past few days, he is still the hottest topic in the All-Stars, and he is simply the biggest winner.

On the 26th, the All-Star Game finally began amid long-awaited announcements. Originally this was Howard's home court, but the loudest cheers came from Ji Feng, who made his debut in the Western Conference finale.

Howard looked very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although this was his home court, many of his fans no longer liked him.

Without him, it all stems from the conflict between Howard and the Magic management this season. This season, the Magic has once again embarked on the same old path as before. Howard, the star player, like his predecessors McGrady and O'Neal, fell out with the management.

However, Howard is obviously more aggressive than these two. After losing a game some time ago, he criticized the coach and teammates in public, and also insulted the Magic management, which made many fans have no good impression of him.
