Chapter 1 As One of the Most Anticipated Teams in the 13/14 NBA Season

The Nets also played an offensive feast full of viewing pleasure in the opening game.

Because this year is Howard's contract year, coupled with his poor performance in last season's playoffs, Howard happily received the nickname "Clumsy Dwight". Therefore, in order to reverse his image before the salary cap rises sharply, Howard obviously increased the frequency of pick-and-rolls for his teammates in the opening game and reduced his complaints on the court.

One good thing.

Howard, who is hardworking, serious, and doesn't covet low post offense, is still quite popular in this era.

Even if he was forced by the situation and chose to "bow" to reality in order to earn more money in the future.

But after he corrected his attitude on the court, you have to admit that at this juncture, this "Beast" is still one of the most outstanding blue-collar centers in the NBA.

In addition, as in Su Feng's memory, as a "father" figure on Antetokounmpo's growth path, Kidd does have his own understanding of bringing up children.

In Su Feng's previous life, apart from whether Kidd's coaching career was successful or not.

Antetokounmpo was able to transform into a star player under Kidd in just two seasons (14/15 to 15/16), and Kidd's transformation of him was absolutely indispensable.

You need to know that from the treatment Antetokounmpo received in his rookie season, the Bucks did not attach great importance to him at that time, as the "Alphabet Bros" who wanted to build Antetokounmpo into an inspirational figure in the future said.

Because if you compare it with Yi Jianlian's rookie season, it is not difficult to find...

Apart from the number of starts being inferior to Alian in the same period, the treatment Antetokounmpo received in his rookie season was basically the same as Alian's in the same period.

However, compared to Alian's average of 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in his rookie season, Antetokounmpo only handed over an average of 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game when the playing time was basically the same as Yi Jianlian's in his rookie season.

On the one hand, this is related to Antetokounmpo's lack of offensive means and insufficient confrontation ability during his rookie period.

On the other hand, it was because before Kidd took office, although the Bucks provided Antetokounmpo with certain resources, they did not think about which direction to cultivate this child in.

At that time, in the Bucks...

Some people thought that Antetokounmpo should be cultivated in the direction of Durant.

Some people also believed that Antetokounmpo's best template should be Larry Sanders, the "poet" who was still in the Bucks' lineup at the time.

Only Kidd, against all opinions, believed that Antetokounmpo's best template should be a transition offensive propeller with both offense and defense.

Although in the future, with the precipitation of time, Antetokounmpo has already gone further and further on the road of "Alphabet Deman".

But you can't deny that under Kidd, people did see some kind of possibility in the Alphabet Bro.

Height over 211 cm.

Able to manage the team's offense like "Magic" Johnson.

Also able to sink into the low post like Jabbar.

A future warrior who can break through to the basket from outside the three-point line in just three big steps.

It's a pity...

Even before Su Feng's rebirth, you could still see the shadow of Antetokounmpo under Kidd during certain periods...

However, due to his increasingly utilitarian style of play, coupled with his ever-changing "wasting model style shot", Antetokounmpo still failed to become the future warrior who opened up the era.

As for the inspirational persona that the Alphabet Bros want to create for Antetokounmpo...

That's even more impossible.

Because in the NBA, a league where if you don't work hard, you will be traded sooner or later...

Diligence is always the least worthy thing to show off.

After all, if you are given 20 million US dollars a year... I just want to ask if you want to continue to improve yourself in your spare time, so that you can turn your 20 million US dollar salary into 40 million US dollars in a few years?

Don't be kidding, if "overtime" is a painful thing in the NBA... then normal people still want to share the "pain" for these stars.

In short, Antetokounmpo is working hard.

However, after begging the Bucks management, he failed to keep the coach whose name he did not even know when he was interviewed...

The trajectory of this child's growth has obviously deviated a bit.

You say he is strong...

He is indeed very strong.

After all, if you can score an average of 30+10+5 in the NBA, it is not strong...

Then in the NBA, who would dare to say that they are a superstar?

But you say he is so strong that your head hurts...

Just based on the fact that in the future, when the NBA teams defend the Bucks, they will all unanimously adopt the defensive strategy of "five-meter no-man's land"...

Has Antetokounmpo ever enjoyed the kind of defense in the game where the opponent wishes they could beat you to death?

Even after Su Feng's rebirth, there is a famous joke in the NBA...

The reason why Jordan's mid-range shooting percentage is only 50% is because the NBA teams can only defend him to 50% even if they fight to the death.

What about Antetokounmpo?

I'm sorry...

It's that everyone hopes he can shoot 50%.

Because in this way, the other players of the Bucks will not score so desperately on the court.

Admittedly, this joke is a bit too harsh on Antetokounmpo.

But you can try to imagine the following picture.

Durant is holding the ball and standing at the top of the arc.

Antetokounmpo is standing at the free throw line without the ball.

At this time, as a defensive player, do you choose to leave Antetokounmpo open or choose to pounce on Durant?

The answer is self-evident.

Because even the Durant haters dare not give Durant such a big gap in the game.

As for Antetokounmpo?

emmm!

Let's just let it go, it doesn't matter anyway.

In Su Feng's opinion, if the Alphabet Bros really want to boast about the Alphabet Bro's inspiration, then they should let their idol brother change his shooting action first.

Because in terms of the Alphabet Bro's wingspan and height, even if he can't develop a stable three-pointer, as long as he can develop a straight-arm pull-up with a certain hit rate at the free throw line...

He is definitely more difficult to defend than staying in the basket all day.

Huh?

You said that changing the shooting action is not an easy thing?

Then the question comes...

Apart from Curry, who has modified his shooting action many times after entering the league...

In the NBA world, what things can be easily accomplished?

Oh... you said accidentally stretching your foot under the supporting leg of the opponent's star...

That's okay!

Anyway, in the future NBA with an increasingly strong fan circle...

Things that can be washed white...

Are not shameful!

…

On the evening of October 31st, on the Lakers' luxurious private plane to Brooklyn, people did not see the figures of Kobe and Little Gasol.

As a result, after the reporters inquired, they learned that Kobe and Little Gasol would miss the next game between the Lakers and the Nets due to accidentally spraining their ankles and flashing their waists during training.

Originally, the Lakers wanted to release this news after arriving in Milwaukee.

But since the reporters asked, how could my Lakers, who have always been friendly to the media, not tell them?

However, after the plane took off, looking at Su Feng, Coach Lu was still a little worried about Kobe.

Because on the 31st, when Coach Lu announced that Kobe would be rested in the next game...

Coach Lu still remembers Kobe's expression at that time, wishing he could kill him.

"Don't worry, I locked him up with iron chains, he can't follow." On the plane, Su Feng, who saw through Coach Lu's careful thoughts, joked.

The reason why Su Feng suggested that Coach Lu arrange for Kobe to rest in this away game against the Nets was mainly because the Lakers will usher in a wave of devil schedules in early November.

As everyone knows.

The Nets, located in Brooklyn, are east and west of the Lakers, and the plane alone takes nearly 6 hours.

Therefore, as long as Su Feng thinks that after playing the Nets, the Lakers have to return to Los Angeles immediately to prepare for the century war with the Warriors, he feels...

Stern didn't consider how tired his old player would be on this journey for the sake of traffic.

But…

Looking at the fact that Stern finally updated the game version for himself this season...

No matter how tired this journey is, Su Feng just wants to fly to Brooklyn as soon as possible to comfort that group of... New York fans who have been loyal to him since he entered the league.

New York!

Your emperor has returned like lightning!

On the evening of the 1st, Barclays Center.

Unlike watching games in other away games.

Because in New York, where the "Statue of Liberty" is located, as long as you like Su Feng, then you and the New York old irons are brothers from different parents, so at the scene, the arrogant Lakers fans even saved the effort of putting on a home team jersey outside the Lakers jersey.

At the scene, during the entrance ceremony, on the Nets' bench, the young Antetokounmpo "for the first time" knew what Su Feng's name meant to the NBA and to New York.

When the tide of purple and gold was set off at the Barclays Center.

New York's eternal king, thus stepped onto the center of the court in the worship of nearly ten thousand people.

The huge Nets home court.

You may not believe it when you say it.

Half of the people present tonight are actually Lakers fans.

TNT TV, Barkley jokingly teased: "If the local teams in New York can get the support of New York fans like today...

I am afraid that the Knicks would have already established a dynasty in the NBA. "

On the side, as a former Lakers legend, O'Neal said with dissatisfaction: "Lakers fans really have to reflect on it...

Why is the greatest basketball star in Los Angeles history...

Will he get more cheers and applause in New York than in Los Angeles? "

Uh…

In front of the TV, the Lakers fans were indeed quite "ashamed" when they heard O'Neal's remarks.

Because cheering for Su Feng is a technical job that tests physical strength very much...

Therefore, in the eyes of loyal Lakers fans, no matter how hard or tired they are, they should not pass the buck to their hoarse voices because of Su Feng, and the knees that must be supported by knee pads to walk, as well as the hands that have been crippled due to clapping.

"This is the greatest star in NBA history." On the Nets' bench, looking at Su Feng's figure, Chris Paul was already eager to try!

On the big screen at the scene, a few minutes later, the starting lineups of the Lakers and the Nets tonight were also released one after another.

Lakers: Adams, Garnett, Su Feng, Middleton, Rondo.

Nets: Howard, Griffin, Antetokounmpo, Marcus Thornton, Paul.

In the center of the court, when Adams and Howard were preparing to jump the ball, the young Antetokounmpo felt for the second time on this night, what was the difference between Su Feng's name and others.

Because before he was about to card position with Su Feng, Kidd, who had not known his name during the draft but had become his "father" at this moment, said to him earnestly: "Tonight, no matter what happens, don't try to anger that man."

Hearing this, Antetokounmpo curiously asked Kidd "why".

Then, after sighing, Kidd replied: "If you anger him in the game, I will replace you immediately.

And in this game, I will not give you even a minute of playing time. "

Now, even if Antetokounmpo was curious, he nodded immediately.

Because in the past two months of getting along, he knew very well that Kidd didn't like to joke with people at this time.

Pa!

In the center of the court, Howard, who didn't take Adams, the white center, seriously, suffered a loss in the jump ball.

Because how could he have imagined that this center, who looked fierce in appearance, turned on the desperately mode in the jump ball?

In the past two months, according to Feng Huang's will, Adams had already kept a head of fluffy hair and a beard that was the iconic beard in Su Feng's memory.

However, for this alliance that has not yet known Adams' name...

This center, who is always full of passion when playing, obviously needs more time to let people remember his sturdy face.

On the court, the Lakers have the ball.

After Rondo dribbled the ball past the half court, because he had no experience in playing against Su Feng in the past, Antetokounmpo did not tentatively hang his hand on Su Feng's waist like Su Feng's old opponents.

On the side, seeing this, the referees were quite satisfied.

After all, this also saved them the effort of explaining the rules to these players who are used to ravaging Su Feng's waist all year round.

On the wing, Su Feng came out to receive the ball.

In his rookie season, although he has not grown to 211 cm, the Alphabet Bro's model is indeed exaggerated.

This ball, in order to avoid being intercepted by him when passing the ball, Rondo deliberately increased the strength of the pass.

And at this moment, Antetokounmpo also felt the weight of Su Feng's name for the third time tonight.

Outside the line, even before Antetokounmpo lowered his center of gravity...

Su Feng disappeared in front of him after receiving the ball!

And when Antetokounmpo turned his head...

Su Feng was already hanging above the sky like a war hammer!

Bang!

In the Nets' restricted area, Howard, who didn't have time to turn around, had to watch Su Feng smash the ball into the basket.

2 to 0!

Brooklyn, cheers suddenly rose!

When retreating, looking at Antetokounmpo, who was still standing there, Su Feng smiled and said, "Are you responsible for defending me tonight?"

Before the game, because he received a warning from Kidd, Antetokounmpo just nodded after being stunned.

However, what Antetokounmpo never expected was that this man would ask himself another question after he nodded...

"Tonight, do you want to see me score 40 points or 50 points?"

Now, the "curious" Antetokounmpo couldn't hold back.

"Why don't you say you can score 60 points?" Antetokounmpo asked Su Feng back.

Hearing this, Su Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then score 60 points."

Antetokounmpo: "..."

No…

This person is so pretentious…

Can't anyone take care of him?

…

ps: It's another short and weak day! Hee~! It's really short!
