Chapter 1 November 30th

On November 30th, the Lakers officially announced their 14-man roster for the new season.

Center: Gasol, Jordan Jr., Robert Sacre.

Power Forward: Marion, Josh Powell.

Small Forward: Su Feng, Green, Bogdanovic.

Shooting Guard: Kobe, Stephenson, Curry.

Point Guard: Dragic, Mo Bu Chuan, Livingston.

As the only free agent the Lakers signed in November, many people didn't understand why Su Feng would say on his personal Twitter after signing Sacre that the Lakers would build around Sacre in the new season.

Because in this life, Su Feng had the failed experience of winning three championships in five years in Toronto.

Therefore, as early as April of this year, Su Feng had Kupchak persuade Sacre, who was planning to play another year for Gonzaga University, that is, to play for five full years before entering the draft. (Note 1)

"As long as you decide to enter the draft.

Then even if you don't get drafted, we will definitely have a place for you on our roster next season."

Faced with the promise Kupchak gave him, Sacre did not hesitate at all.

Because he knew very well...

This was the...

The only chance he would have in his life...

To touch the NBA floor!

What's more...

This was an invitation from the Lakers?

So.

From the draft to the end of the lockout.

After finally waiting for Kupchak to hand him a two-year contract...

The generation of Emperor Star Sacre had also successfully arrived in his loyal Los Angeles.

However...

Because the current Emperor Sacre was just an unknown undrafted player...

Plus, after learning about his career, people couldn't see that he had the potential to become a hidden gem like Ben Wallace or Chuck Hayes.

Therefore, when Emperor Sacre's "disciple" Su Feng introduced Emperor Sacre on Twitter, how could these people who were young and didn't know Emperor Sacre, and mistakenly regarded Feng Ke as the king of basketball, know...

When evaluating the positive impact of Sacre on this Lakers team, Su Feng didn't have any teasing intentions at the time.

Because for the Lakers, who were currently suffering from "serious lack of enterprising spirit after establishing a dynasty"...

Without a doubt!

Emperor Sacre was definitely the "cornerstone" of this Lakers team for the next five years!

In Su Feng's previous life, don't look at Emperor Sacre, who has always "loved the people like his own children and couldn't bear to kill," averaging only 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds for the Lakers in his 4-year career with the Lakers.

But on the bench, Emperor Sacre, who could wave his towel more than 50 times per game for the Lakers, greatly boosted the Lakers, who were in their darkest moment that year.

Indeed.

You are destined not to expect a player like Sacre to have a heaven-defying performance on the court.

But his passion was influencing this Lakers team every moment of the entire November!

"Mark! Hurry! You're almost there! This level is not enough to break your tenacious soul!"

"Shawn, the finish line is ahead! If you stop here, then you will give up all your previous efforts!"

Perhaps, for most people...

They would never understand why Sacre, who rarely even plays basketball, would always be so enthusiastic about basketball.

But...

For Sacre...

In addition to sincerely envying those who were more talented than him, he knew better than anyone else...

Cherishing every minute and every second he could stay in the NBA was his only advantage compared to those geniuses and superhumans!

As long as it could help the team...

Then what if he got up early and worked late to mop the floor and carry bags for these geniuses every day?

In late November, since Emperor Sacre joined the team...

It was obvious that the whole Lakers team looked a lot better than before.

After all, under the personal supervision of Emperor Sacre...

Who would dare not to shed their blood for him?

As the saying goes, Emperor Sacre spits out food, and the world returns to his heart.

What color is the sky in Los Angeles depends on Emperor Sacre's face!

Since Emperor Sacre joined the team, not to mention the old players being grateful to Emperor Sacre, even Bogdanovic and Curry, who had just joined the team, felt the meticulous care from Emperor Sacre.

Because in Emperor Sacre's opinion, Bogdanovic and Curry were both important roles in the Lakers' new season, so in order to allow these two to participate in the game in a better state...

After each training session, Sacre would take the initiative to undertake the obligation of carrying bags for all fourteen players on the team.

Moreover, because he disliked the staff in the Lakers training hall for not being serious enough when mopping the floor, basically these days, at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, before Su Feng and Kobe could wake up the people in their dreams with their iron shots, Emperor Sacre would mop the floor of the training ground clean.

And such Emperor Sacre...

How can you not love him?

In December, the Lakers, who had won three consecutive championships in the 08/09, 09/10, and 10/11 seasons, were ready to welcome the new season under the guidance of Emperor Sacre.

According to the schedule, they would face their old rival, the Dallas Mavericks, at home on the opening day of the 5th.

Look...

What is called the bad taste from the President?

Because on the 5th, the Lakers would invite a group of famous players to come to the Staples Center to watch the Los Angeles Lakers' championship flag raising ceremony...

So for the Mavericks players, who have been competing for the championship and have been used as a backdrop by Su Feng for the past eight years...

Watching the championship flag, which symbolizes the birth of a dynasty, being raised in someone else's home stadium...

That would probably be more uncomfortable than killing them.

On the 4th.

After leading the Mavericks to Los Angeles...

"Zen Master" Davis rarely only sent an assistant coach to attend the pre-match press conference.

But on the night of the 5th...

The Mavericks players, who witnessed the Lakers' magnificent fifteenth championship flag raising ceremony at the Staples Center... (Note 2)

Did not fight the Lakers to the end in Los Angeles as people had imagined.

On March 23 next year, the Mavericks' point guard Jason Kidd will be 39 years old.

And Terry, the former NBA super sixth man nicknamed "Jet", had just celebrated his 34th birthday during the lockout.

As for the Mavericks' star player...

Nowitzki, who was born two months younger than Su Feng...

Will also be 34 years old next year.

Plus the 32-year-old Prince and Hamilton, who is about to turn 34...

Before the start of the new season, even Mavericks fans couldn't help but complain about this Mavericks team:

"In today's league, you probably can't find a second team with a higher average age of starters than us."

TNT, when doing a preview of the new season, Barkley said bluntly that relying on a bunch of old guys alone, this Mavericks team is destined to have a hard time going to the end in this difficult shortened season.

"Besides Tyson Chandler and Jose Barea, who are in their prime...

This Mavericks team simply doesn't have the physical fitness to compete with other powerhouses."

And Los Angeles...

As Barkley said.

The aging Mavericks hardly resisted...

And handed over the victory to the Lakers, whose condition had not fully recovered, on this night.

However, at the moment when the game clock in the final quarter went to zero...

Looking at the 10/11 season championship flag raised tonight...

Few people noticed...

A gleam of light suddenly burst out in Nowitzki's eyes.

Indeed.

For those teams that have worked so hard to reach the seventh or eighth place in the regular season, the play-in tournament system introduced by the NBA this year may make their efforts in the regular season go to waste.

But what if...

The team you support advances through the play-in tournament?

If the format is set from the beginning.

Then why complain about the format, instead of thinking, since I don't want to play in the play-in tournament, then I must enter the top six in the regular season? (Note 3)

As for the physical exertion after advancing through the play-in tournament...

Again, the same sentence.

If you don't want to play in the play-in tournament, then fight for the top six.

Because as Patrick Star said...

Life is inherently unfair.

Just like the Mavericks, who have already made the decision to completely give up this year's regular season, strive for the top ten, and if they are doomed, they will be doomed.

Whether it's Davis, Nowitzki, or Kidd and Terry.

They all knew very well.

This was a season in which they were destined not to be able to compete with young people in the regular season.

So as early as after the new season schedule was released, these old guys had already made the worst psychological plan that the Mavericks could only get the tenth place in the West this year.

…

On the 6th, having just finished the opening game and the flag raising ceremony, the Lakers immediately ushered in their second game of the new season.

In addition, on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of this month...

They will also successively challenge the Nuggets, Jazz, and Celtics in the Denver Plateau, the Utah Plateau, and the North Shore Garden Arena.

Because this life's 11/12 season will have 6 more games than Su Feng's memory of the 11/12 season...

So in January and February next year, the most intense stage of the NBA schedule...

In order to make time for All-Star Weekend.

All teams will have to play at least one four-day game.

And just the size of the US, which is not much different from that of the Rabbit Country...

This also means that during the four-day game, most players can only catch up on sleep on the plane.

Huh?

You said this is nothing?

Wake up!

After experiencing a high-intensity NBA game...

You don't even have the right to lie down and sleep...

And you must also "refuel" your exhausted body on the already tiring flight...

If you don't understand, just ask...

Is this really nothing?

In December, with the start of the new season.

The Raul Marion twins, who have been killing gods and Buddhas in the past three years, quickly felt the league's malice towards the Lakers dynasty.

In the first two weeks, in a total of 9 games, the Lakers won 5 games and lost 4 of them.

And although, with the blessing of the [Evergreen] badge, Su Feng's ability value this season has only slightly decreased some physical attributes. (Note 4)

But his gas tank, which was shrinking with time...

Was during this devilish schedule that made him feel the fatigue of playing the entire game for the first time in his life.

Kobe, Gasol Jr., Marion and others all needed time to find their form.

Plus, in order to avoid injuries, Coach Lu had already developed the good habit of letting everyone take turns to rest, even if it meant being fined by the league...

Therefore, defeating the Lakers, in the first two weeks of the 11/12 season, seemed to be getting easier and easier.

The first two weeks of the 11/12 season.

Young people shone brightly, taking turns performing on stage.

In the West, the SuperSonics, led by Luo Duwei, were eight-for-eight in the first two weeks of the devil's schedule, ranking first in the West.

And on the new season's average scoring list, Durant was also second only to Su Feng's average of 35.3 points with 33.5 points.

Oakland.

Klay, who the Warriors selected this summer, almost seamlessly integrated into this team.

Although at this time, whether it was shooting or defending, Klay could not be compared with that super 3D...

But with James' tireless tank charge, and with Curry helping to open up space beside him...

This son of former Lakers star Michael Thompson...

Received consistent praise from the Bay Area media.

And Butler, another rookie selected by the Warriors in the draft, was whipped wildly by Van Gundy, causing Van Gundy to have a bold idea in his mind in December of this year.

That is...

If the self-disciplined Butler can continue to grow like this...

"Jimmy and Klay are responsible for covering for Stephen.

LeBron sits in the four position to organize the team.

And a center who can protect the basket..."

Jerry (West).

As early as when you selected these two newcomers for the Warriors...

You probably already had a similar lineup to the Raptors of that year in your mind for this Warriors team?

In the Warriors' first two weeks of the new season, the performance of the "Akron Brothers" also excited their supporters.

And in the first issue of the new season's MVP rankings, James and Curry were ranked first and eleventh respectively.

"I absolutely think people's recent praise of me is a bit too much.

Because in my opinion, Stephen is the MVP of this Warriors team." In December, after leading the Warriors to conquer the Staples Center, James said in an interview.

And aside, after nudging James with his arm, Curry said, "Don't listen to LeBron's nonsense. He is the undisputed leader of this team!"

No way.

With the EQ of these two "Akron Brothers"...

The Los Angeles reporters, who have always liked to sow discord, simply cannot capture any opportunities from them.

In Su Feng's previous life, why did everyone say that James and Curry combined would destroy the world?

Because these two can not only theoretically perfectly complement each other in terms of basketball style...

And in terms of personality...

These..."Akron Brothers" born in the same hospital can also be said to be perfectly compatible.

The first two weeks of the new season.

The West had already become the stage for the SuperSonics and the Warriors.

Oh...

And that Jazz team that is always forgotten.

In this life, because the personality of De Xiaopang was more or less influenced by his roommate Yi Jianlian, and during the lockout period, these two even had the idea of going to the CBA together to win a CBA championship for the Guangdong team...

Therefore, De Xiaopang, who did not have a falling out with Sloan, was undoubtedly at the absolute peak of his career at this moment.

And after suffering from injuries for two consecutive years, similar to his memory, Jefferson's recovery was also quite good.

Plus, after sending away Kirilenko, the Jazz ushered in Paul George, the true Feng Ke successor...

Therefore, after the first two weeks of the new season...

The Jazz also became another major force in the West.

Especially in the two games in which they played the Trail Blazers in a row this month...

De Xiaopang, who has always liked to "eat, sleep, and beat Paul"...

Even put Pao Ge, who had been crazily eating fried chicken during the offseason, resulting in not fully recovering his state after the start of the new season, on the pillar of shame for two consecutive games.

According to the record of the two players' matches...

De Xiaopang totaled 58 points, 19 assists, 17 rebounds, and 8 steals in the two games (5 of which were direct steals from Paul).

And what about me, Pao?

In addition to the 18 assists and 16 rebounds that were barely passable...

The 11 turnovers that I, Pao, had in these two games even exceeded his score.

Therefore...

Either way, fried chicken is harmful?

The reason why the Lakers lost four of them in the first two weeks of the new season...

In addition to Gasol Jr., Marion, Kobe, and Su Feng all needing time to find their form...

Jordan Jr.'s figure, which was also bloated by eating fried chicken crazily, was also one of the reasons for the Lakers' poor record.

Because as his body shape changed, Jordan Jr. could no longer provide effective protection for the Lakers' outside players in the Lakers' second lineup as he used to...

So if it weren't for the fact that Jordan Jr.'s relationship with me, Pao, in this life was not like theirs in the Clippers...

Then Su Feng really suspected...

This guy made an appointment with Paul this summer to taste different flavors of fried chicken all over the United States.

West.

The veterans shed tears one after another.

Looking at the East...

It was the world of the new regular season MVP Wade and Rose.

The Hawks and Bulls occupied the top two spots in the Eastern Conference in the new season.

Last season, the Great Gasol, who had just been hammered by his younger brother in the finals, this year was clearly a ferocious face of whoever dares to provoke me, I will beat him into Garnett.

In December, it was still the famous background board Trail Blazers.

However, unlike Paul, who was the target of the beating before...

When the Hawks visited the Rose Garden Arena in Portland...

This time, the always iron-blooded Garnett was actually given a "psychological shadow" by the "soft" Gasol.

In this game between the Hawks and the Trail Blazers, Gasol scored a total of 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists.

And Garnett only scored 5 points and 8 rebounds.

In recent years, with Chris Webber's sad retirement, many people have called Duncan, Nowitzki, Gasol, and Garnett the "new four PFs".

But after this game...

Even the American media, who have always disliked "white and soft", publicly stated...

In the NBA, there is no such thing as "four PFs" anymore.

Because Garnett's performance in the new season...

It is simply not convincing.

As for another new force rising in the East this season...

In addition to Noah and Luol Deng, who started to improve their skills, just like in Su Feng's memory...

Rose before the big injury.

Was definitely the sharpest knife this season.

Because even if Su Feng held the Galaxy training camp this summer, making many players' conditions better than he remembered...

But in the face of this devilish schedule...

Who the hell can withstand Rose's breakthrough, which doesn't reason with you at all, and doesn't even want a pick-and-roll?

This season, Bulls coach Thibodeau was having a great time.

Because he, who has never been good at offense...

In the first two weeks of the regular season, he only needed to use the big move "everyone spread out, Rose one-on-one"...

And the Bulls would torture their opponents to death.

In addition, similar to the mortal enemy Lakers.

In the first two weeks of this season, the Celtics' condition was also very "worrying".

In the Celtics' games, especially in the second half...

You will often find that because their physical fitness is gradually unable to hold on, Parker, Ginobili, Duncan and others often have to throw the blame to Leonard, whose offensive skills are still rough.

As a result...

If everyone else thought that the Celtics were forced to throw the blame to the young people...

Then for Su Feng...

How could he not know that Bird and Karl were "forcing growth"?

After all, even if Su Feng's true shooting percentage in the past thirteen seasons has never been lower than 60%...

In his first two seasons of leveling up in Philadelphia...

Who wasn't trained by the infinite right to shoot iron?

Compared with the obsessive-compulsive Popovich, Bird and Karl don't have the habit of restricting their players' performance, and scolding young people for making unreasonable shots all day long.

And the "GDP" who gathered together because of fate also knew very well that they couldn't compete with the young people in the regular season this season.

Therefore...

Don't tell me...

Xiao Ka's always expressionless face...

Really made the Celtics fans have a kind of feeling in December of this year...

The idea that a "new Su Feng" is about to be born.

Go ahead!

Isn't it just shooting a few irons?

As long as Xiao Ka can reach seven or eight out of ten of Su Feng's height in the future...

Then these years, the irons that the Celtics allow him to shoot on the court...

Will it still be a loss?

And according to the schedule...

Because in the next third week, the Lakers will face the test of 5 games in a week and Christmas Day...

So in an interview...

Su Feng also rarely slammed his good brother Stern: "I have always respected every referee's scale of punishment in the game.

But, you can't always let me charge into the inside with two people hanging on my arms?"

David!

This is my sixteenth season of my career!

When it comes to next year...

I'm a 34-year-old man!

So...

Can't you let me "spend my old age" in peace?

Stern: 34 years old? What's wrong with 34 years old?

Your performance on the court is like a 34-year-old veteran?

And if I let you have a good time...

Then how can other players play?

Undoubtedly.

In any case this season, blocking the Lakers from winning four consecutive championships is a task that Stern must complete before he retires.

So in the face of Su Feng's complaints...

This day, after personally arranging the referee list for the Lakers' next game...

I saw Stern looking at Mark with a meaningful look and said: "If, in the case of Michael Jordan back then, everyone felt that only time could defeat him...

Then at this moment...

In my opinion, even time cannot defeat this man."

Stern knew very well.

Su Feng, who has always been known for his self-discipline, may be able to gallop in the league until he is 40 years old.

So even if it's a little cruel.

Stern will never give Su Feng the superstar whistle that he has never enjoyed since he joined the league this season.

And as for the future?

Anyway, how to compensate Su Feng is a matter for him, Mark, and the NBA...

What does it have to do with him, Stern?

So, at the end of this year.

Joy.

It obviously belongs to others.

The Lakers who are stumbling in the 11/12 season.

The only good news they waited for at the end of this year was...

Kobe's figure gradually began to recover to the 10/11 season.

In addition, as the season deepens.

More and more Lakers fans also began to like Sacre.

Because no matter whether the Lakers' game is won or lost...

Sacre's performance off the court is always so "steady"!
