Chapter 1 The Regular Season Ends

The regular season concluded, and the Western Conference standings from first to eighth were as follows:

Mavericks, Trail Blazers, Jazz, Lakers, Warriors, Nuggets, Suns, Hornets.

After McMillan's dismissal, the Trail Blazers hired Adelman to take charge of the Portland "Ganges River Battleship."

Believe it or not, this Trail Blazers team was actually quite suitable for playing the Princeton offense.

And in the second half of the season, as the team won more games, even if they were still inwardly cursing each other, Carter, Pierce, and Paul were all smiles on the outside.

In addition, compared to last season, the competition in the Western Conference was significantly more intense this season.

Because the Nuggets, who ultimately secured the sixth seed in the West, also exceeded 50 wins.

In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, according to the schedule, the Mavericks would face the Hornets, the Trail Blazers would take on the Suns, the Jazz would play the Nuggets, and the Lakers would have to battle the Warriors.

Online, apart from the consensus that the Mavericks would sweep the Hornets 4-0, most fans generally believed that the other three first-round series in the Western Conference playoffs this year would be closely contested.

After all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

This season, no matter how poorly McGrady played, he was still the man who had once borrowed 35 seconds from God.

And in the regular season, as two of the NBA's most famous high-altitude home courts, the Nuggets and Jazz split their games 2-2.

Therefore, experts dared not predict which of these two teams would emerge victorious.

As for the Lakers and Warriors?

Starting in February, the remote PK between these two teams continued until the end of the season.

Plus, Steve Nash and his Warriors were the only team to have ever beaten Su Feng in his career in the NBA Finals, so even the Maple fans believed that the Lakers would face a tough battle in the first round of the playoffs this year.

In addition to the teams that still needed to participate in the playoffs, this year's list of teams in the Western Conference that went on vacation early was as follows:

Grizzlies, Clippers, Kings, SuperSonics, Timberwolves, Spurs, Rockets.

If the Western Conference playoff circle was a circle of teams competing to be the most excellent...

Then in the Western Conference's early vacation circle...

It was the Knicks mocking the Timberwolves...

— Competing to see who was worse.

Originally, the Grizzlies, aiming to rebuild, thought they could get a high draft pick after a season of hard work...

But when they looked back...

Wow, good heavens!

The Texas Two Bears were even worse than the Timberwolves...

How could a mere Grizzlies team dare to aspire to that level?

This season, after Oden's injury, the "Wuhu, take off!" that Houston fans had been anticipating not only failed to materialize, but Livingston, who had just recovered from his own injury, once again crushed the fragile hearts of Houston fans.

In Su Feng's previous life, Livingston missed nearly 63% of his games in his first 7 seasons.

In the future, it wasn't until God took back all the talent He had bestowed upon him that his fragile knees supported his broken body in standing firm in the NBA.

It was reported that after this season, the Rockets had completely despaired of the "Magic successor" they had drafted.

Because even the toughest Houstonians didn't want to hear the phrase "season-ending injury" again.

Just wait!

Wait for Emperor Oden to return next season!

We will surely sweep Texas and dominate the West!

Unfortunately.

Because he was busy studying the Warriors with Coach Lue, Su Feng didn't know what the Houstonians were foolishly thinking.

Otherwise...

With Oden's glass-like constitution being even worse than Livingston's...

Su Feng would definitely have told them...

You might as well hope that Stern will give you the top pick again.

The Western Conference standings were set.

And the Eastern Conference was, as always, a monster.

The Eastern Conference standings from first to eighth in the 07/08 season were as follows:

Celtics, 76ers, Heat, Cavaliers, Hawks, Magic, Wizards, Pacers.

In the overall standings, in addition to securing the top seed in the East with a 68-14 record, the Celtics even clinched the league's best record three games early this year.

And relying on the strongest roster depth in the league, after Su Feng's departure to the West, the Heat became the number one "shit-stirrer" in the East this year.

In the final stretch of the regular season, relying on an 8-game winning streak, the Heat successfully squeezed the Hawks out of the top four in the East, and were happy to see James and Wade engage in a life-or-death battle in the first round.

In addition, because there was still competition between Wade and James this year as to who was the only successor to Emperor Feng...

Online, some of Wade's extreme fans also took on the banner of being James haters.

On various forums, they criticized James's data as being inflated.

In response, James's radical fans were not to be outdone, responding to Wade's fans by saying, "Wade is just the second-in-command of this Hawks team. He owes his success to Paul Gasol!"

To be fair.

When browsing these familiar news stories at home...

Su Feng suddenly felt that those fans who often criticized him didn't seem so unreasonable after all.

As the biggest beneficiary of Kobe's injury period, Wade was undoubtedly the thorn in the side of some fanatic James fans.

But...

Little did these most vocal brain-dead fans know...

That in real life, James and Wade have always had a good personal relationship.

So...

What are these people arguing about?

The list of Eastern Conference teams taking an early vacation in the 07/08 season was as follows:

Pistons, Knicks, Bobcats, Nets, Bulls, Raptors, Bucks.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Celtics would face the Pacers, the 76ers would play the Wizards, the Heat would face the Magic, and the Cavaliers would engage in a royal city PK with the Hawks.

And with the conclusion of the regular season, the statistical leaders of the 07/08 season were also revealed.

Nash, who had monopolized the assists title for many years in a row, gave up his "exclusive throne" this year.

In the second half of the season, the traditional point guard who used to focus on passing had long become the vanguard for Oakland's offensive efforts.

In order to win, Nash had to make changes.

And so, Chris Paul successfully became the only player in this era, besides Su Feng, who could snatch the assists title from Nash.

In the 07/08 season, Paul averaged 17.5 points and 11.4 assists per game.

In addition, the rebounding title and blocks title in the 07/08 season were both won by Howard.

This season, although Howard's performance was still worrying when facing those superstar centers, under Van Gundy's patient guidance, his talent on the defensive end had begun to show.

In the regular season, Howard averaged 19.5 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks for the Magic.

And the steals title was won by Ron Artest.

As the only object that extreme James fans in the Cavaliers dared not blame, in addition to contributing 18.5 points per game to the Cavaliers in the 07/08 season, Artest also had 5.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.8 steals per game.

Huh?

You say that extreme James fans don't even spare Wade, so how could they possibly spare Artest?

Hey!

Isn't that because if you criticize Wade, Wade probably won't care, but if you criticize Artest, he might actually come over and beat you up?

In January this year, Artest even challenged a fan to a fight online.

As a result...

After running away overnight, this netizen also published an apology statement online about how he shouldn't have criticized Artest.

So...

Evil people must be subdued by evil people.

Today, you criticize me for missing shots on the court.

Tomorrow, I'll let you taste my iron fist.

……

"Alas, ever since you started recovering from your injury, I don't know why, but I've lost the motivation to score on the court."

In Los Angeles, after the release of the statistical leaders for the regular season, Su Feng pointed to his own data in the picture projected by the projector and looked at Kobe with a depressed expression.

And upon hearing this, Kobe, who had been tricked over by Su Feng with an Italian sausage pizza, never imagined that this guy's act of showing off had reached the point of near insanity!

In the 07/08 season, Su Feng once again broke the individual single-season scoring average record since the NBA had complete statistical data:

42.5 points. (Note 1)

In addition, in the 07/08 season, he averaged 42.5 minutes per game for the Lakers, and he could also get 9.8 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game for the Lakers.

Moreover, since the NBA has had complete statistical data, Su Feng has also become the only player to achieve "3000+800+600+200+150" in a single season. (Note 2)

However, this day, just as Su Feng was preparing to use his advanced stats to tell Kobe how awesome he was...

Kobe directly waved his hand and interrupted him, "Congratulations, my friend.

Your name is known from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, by everyone."

Su Feng: ".......”

Damn it!

Are you still the Kobe I know?

Looking at Kobe in the living room, Su Feng almost thought that the man in front of him had been possessed...

But who would have thought that after a pause, Kobe would continue, "In your various statistics, in my opinion, your average of 5.0 turnovers...

Can only be described as 'legendary'!"

Su Feng: ".......”

Average...

What's wrong with averaging 5 turnovers per game?

This season, I have to be both a father and a mother on the court, and I have to be my own dribbling tool, is it easy for me?

"Seriously, if you made a highlight reel of your turnovers this season, I think I could watch it all night!" Kobe said, putting his arm around Su Feng's shoulder.

And now...

Su Feng, who had originally wanted to show off in front of Kobe, immediately lost interest.

Because with a smartass like Kobe...

Su Feng knew that the more you argued with him, the more energetic he would become.

Admittedly, Su Feng's average of 5 turnovers per game this season was a little too much.

But before Marion and Big Ben arrived...

Basically, Su Feng, who had to face three or even four opponents every night, couldn't possibly be like a robot and have zero turnovers.

However...

After being splashed with cold water by Kobe, Su Feng now also believed that the Lakers had to dig up one or two dribbling tools this summer.

After all, the feeling of always having the ball in your hands was good...

But, aside from anything else, just talking about physical exertion...

At the end of the regular season this year, Su Feng clearly felt a bit tired.

"What do you think of Shawn Livingston?" Su Feng asked, looking at Kobe that day.

And upon hearing this, after sighing deeply, Kobe said, "He's an unfortunate kid. His skills and strength are good, but he's just too unlucky."

If it had been before his injury, Kobe would never have had sympathy for Livingston.

But this year-plus of recovery time not only made Kobe understand why O'Neal often slacked off on and off the court back then, but also made Kobe deeply feel that people are not made of steel.

Su Feng found that Kobe was indeed in a better state of mind than before.

In particular, he, who originally had the same negative EQ as Jordan, had recently become a source of joy for everyone when he stopped by to visit everyone's training.

For example, when Su Feng and others missed their shots, Kobe would make fun of himself, "Hey, did Kobe Bryant teach you guys how to shoot like that?"

The frequency of giving teammates the death stare has decreased.

Perhaps, this Kobe is missing a bit of the original flavor.

But when his mentality gradually approached that of the older Kobe in Su Feng's memory...

Coupled with his peak strength...

Su Feng believed...

That this Lakers team would definitely amaze the world next season!

……

On the 20th, the first game of the first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Warriors took place at the Staples Center.

Many Hollywood celebrities came to the scene to watch the game.

And it is worth mentioning that before the start of the game, Su Feng also gave Beckham some psychological massage.

As we all know, after the 2006 World Cup, England's new coach McClaren abandoned Beckham, who had previously served as the captain of the England national team, at the beginning of his tenure.

And later, although under pressure, McClaren recalled Beckham to the national team...

But after losing to Croatia 2-3 in the final round of the European Cup qualifiers, England was blocked from the 2008 European Cup.

For Beckham, this period can be said to be the darkest moment of his career.

Therefore, after returning to the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham began to doubt his decision to choose to play in the United States.

Because in the eyes of this highly responsible former England national team captain...

If he had not left the center of world football, Europe...

Then perhaps England would not have suffered such a misfortune in the qualifiers.

However, the stronger Beckham's sense of responsibility, the more likely God was to joke with him.

Because if Su Feng remembered correctly, before the start of the 2010 South Africa World Cup, in order to maintain his form for the country, he chose to join AC Milan on loan and would suffer a serious injury before the start of the World Cup, thus missing the World Cup.

Of course...

This day, after being "comforted" by Su Feng...

I don't know why.

Anyway, Beckham's expression was obviously even more sad at the time.

"What did you say to David?" Kobe asked curiously.

"I told him not to take himself too seriously.

Because just like the Lakers can make the playoffs without you." Su Feng said, putting his arm around Kobe's shoulder.

And upon hearing this...

Kobe never expected that Su Feng's mind had become even smaller in recent years!

Damn it!

Wasn't it just that I complained about your many turnovers this season a few days ago!

Do you have to hold a grudge until now?

Are you a Virgo?

What Su Feng and Beckham said will not be mentioned for the time being.

Staples Center.

After the warm-up, the big screen immediately showed the starting lineups for both sides tonight.

Warriors: Stoudemire, Barnes, Radmanovic, Bell, Nash.

Lakers: Gasol, Wallace, Marion, Evans, Su Feng.

In the center of the court, after the tip-off, the Warriors attacked first.
