Although there was still some time before Lacob completed the acquisition of the Warriors,

as early as May of that year, Warriors fans, in extreme grief, had already learned the good news they had been eagerly awaiting.

On the one hand, this was related to the American habit of announcing things in advance with a loudspeaker.

On the other hand, it was because a certain Jewish old man was also working hard behind the scenes to facilitate the deal.

In recent years, the Warriors' performance had been quite good, so Stern had devoted a lot of resources to the team behind the scenes.

But given the current level of anger that Warriors fans held towards Cohan...

let alone Stern wanting Cohan to leave as soon as possible, even Cohan himself couldn't wait to get out of Oakland.

In Su Feng's previous life, why did everyone say that Stern and the other 29 NBA team owners were the masterminds behind Bennett's acquisition of the SuperSonics?

Because the Seattle city government had consistently refused to approve the construction of a new arena for the SuperSonics, the then-SuperSonics owner, Schultz, had expressed his dissatisfaction to Stern and the other owners at a league meeting.

As a result, when Bennett acquired the SuperSonics, he not only didn't encounter any resistance, but the other owners also actively stood up to speak for him.

After all, as an NBA owner, even if you don't need a new arena now, it doesn't mean your team won't need one in the future.

But if the governments of every team's city were as difficult as Seattle...

how could they, this group playing in the NBA, continue to have fun in the future?

And in this life, Cohan's departure wasn't just what Stern wanted to see; the owners of the other teams in the league also couldn't wait for this unlucky guy to pack his bags and leave.

Because of the impact of Cohan, more and more fans online had begun to think that any owner who wasn't willing to strengthen their team was a "Chris Cohan."

However, given the current economic situation in America...

how many Paul Allens and Mark Cubans would dare to go all-out on strengthening their teams while facing a super luxury tax?

Therefore, in the eyes of the other team owners, a bastard like Cohan, who lowered their overall image in the eyes of the fans, had to leave quickly, immediately!

And reality had once again proven that...

even though Su Feng, as a time-traveler, could always foresee the "future"...

just like his mistake in judging that SuperSonics fans were about to take out notebooks to curse Bennett for not having a son. (Note 1)

As the butterfly effect that Su Feng brought to this timeline grew...

on this brand-new timeline that even quantum mechanics couldn't predict...

even Su Feng could only find out what was inside when the answer was revealed in the future.

...

Advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals, according to the schedule, the Lakers would face the Mavericks in the semifinals.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers would face the Jazz in the semifinals.

In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, except for the Mavericks' 4-0 sweep of the Hornets, the other three series all went to Game 6 before a winner was decided.

Among them, the series between the Nuggets and the Jazz was the most brutal.

Last summer, taking advantage of the Pistons' fire sale, the Nuggets, by acquiring Billups, not only found a good older brother for Anthony, but also, on the court, Billups quickly became the real leader of this Nuggets team.

In the regular season, with Billups as his regent, Anthony was able to score an average of 24.5 points, which, statistically, was actually lower than the previous season.

But that was purely because Billups' arrival had reduced a lot of Anthony's rebellious and unnecessary individual plays.

Anthony's playoff surge to an average of 29 points was the best proof.

Because in the playoffs, the Nuggets needed Anthony to use his isolation plays to create key baskets for the team, so Billups clearly gave Anthony more opportunities to perform on the court through his control of the ball.

However, compared to the other three Banana Boat brothers who blossomed this season...

the time that Melo spent in nightclubs last year was also fully reflected in his performance this season.

In contrast, the reason why the Trail Blazers went to Game 6 with the Suns...

was entirely because the Suns' team doctor was too good.

This season, on the surface, McGrady's performance on the court could only be described as "half-dead."

But in reality, this was because D'Antoni had received a warning from the Suns' team doctor.

In the regular season, McGrady's playing time of 31.5 minutes and his average of 20.8 points were both career lows since he left the Raptors.

But in the playoffs, when McGrady, who had been resting for an entire season, suddenly opened his sleepy eyes...

I have to say.

That's really worth more than just a word.

In short, McGrady's "30+" points per game in the playoffs was very exciting and explosive, but in front of the Ka Jordan, Paul Jordan, and Pi Jordan, who were also holding the reins of the old wolf Garnett...

even Shaq would have to face the same fate as Hades encountering the Five Little Strongs:

—Damn, you still have to die.

In the West, the playoff semifinals were about to begin.

But in the East, they still had to wait for James and Wade to come down from the imperial city.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, neither the Celtics nor the Sixers encountered any challenges.

Two clean 4-0 sweeps not only demonstrated the strength of these two former Eastern Conference powerhouses, but also explained the gold content of Su Feng's dominance in the East.

And in the first-round PK with the Magic, before the confident Howard could launch a challenge to Yao and Deng...

the Magic were blown to Mars by the Heat's outrageous bench mob.

Don't ask.

Just blame the Lakers.

Because who told them to use half their team to get Su Feng last year?

Of course.

I have to say.

James and Wade really contributed a classic series to the fans this year.

In Game 1, the Cavaliers, playing at home, and the Hawks went to triple overtime before a winner was decided.

In the end, relying on "Slum James" Smith's game-winner, the Hawks took Game 1 in Cleveland.

And a day later, in Cleveland, although the Cavaliers tied the series...

because Bosh and Smith were injured and left the game one after another...

therefore, both Wade and James looked at each other with these expressions:

You say you are not easy, I...

Staples Center, the Mavericks set up in the half court, Hamilton's jump shot after a screen missed.

On the court, Ben had just grabbed the rebound for the Lakers, and Su Feng immediately rushed to the Mavericks' half of the court.

And as the former Philadelphia light and shadow completed their connection...

on the sidelines, John Davis admitted...

he was indeed afraid.

Catch the ball.

Turn around.

Push off.

Hang in the air.

Flick the wrist.

After flinging the basketball towards the basket in one go, ignoring the stunned Prince, Su Feng once again turned his body towards the Mavericks' bench!

My three-pointer can't miss!

Swish!

On the court, when Su Feng once again made the three-point gesture towards the Mavericks' bench...

the dome of Los Angeles had already been lifted by him.

"My God!

Why can he be so arrogant!

But, I f**king love this kind of Su!" TNT TV, after Su Feng hit two three-pointers in a row, Charles Barkley shouted in the studio.

"If you have the ability, don't double-team me."

On the sidelines, looking at Su Feng's firm eyes, Davis instantly understood the meaning that Su Feng was conveying to him through his eyes.

Therefore, after smiling slightly at Su Feng...

Davis immediately pulled Hamilton and Kidd to the sidelines.

"Next, as long as Su gets the ball, the person closest to him must work with Tayshaun to prevent him from shooting from the outside immediately."

Hearing this, Kidd and Hamilton nodded at the same time.

Seeing this...

however arrogant Su Feng was when he was just acting cool,

he was now just as "embarrassed" as he was switching accounts.

What the hell are you kidding me!

Before the warm-up for this game, Su Feng didn't think his touch was that good.

Therefore, after achieving his desired goal...

Su Feng didn't plan to keep acting cool like he did back then.

On the court, in the first quarter, the Mavericks, who adjusted their defense, did succeed in stopping Su Feng's offense.

But for some reason...

watching Su Feng frequently feeding his teammates, Davis always felt that he had been tricked by this bastard again.

But...

compared to Su Feng's terrifying three-pointers before...

Davis felt that...

choosing to double-team Su Feng tonight didn't seem like a bad thing.

Um...

if the other Lakers players hadn't made so many three-pointers.

In the first quarter, the Lakers players, knowing that only madness like the Warriors could create a way out, took a total of 14 shots from the outside.

And fortunately, they were accurate enough tonight.

Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers finally gained an opening advantage in this series on the scoreboard.

On the court, the score for the two teams in the first quarter was 27 to 40.

Logically speaking.

If they were playing against a normal team, then with such an opening score, it wouldn't matter if the Lakers' bench players went wild for a while.

But because tonight's opponent was the Mavericks, who had a group of bench thugs...

so in the second quarter, Coach Lue still kept Su Feng, Marion, and Mo Williams on the court.

As a result...

as Coach Lue had expected.

The Mavericks really started a frantic counterattack in the second quarter.

At this time, Barkley also said with a worried look: "Although the Lakers have withstood the Mavericks' second-quarter attack by increasing the playing time of Shawn, Maurice, and others,

as the game goes deeper...

can they really continue to lead until the end?"

The answer is:

no.

Because people's physiques can't be generalized, Coach Lue still let Marion and Williams rest for three minutes each in the second quarter.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Maple Emperor was isolated and helpless, the Mavericks also successfully narrowed the score between the two teams to 59 to 62 at the end of the first half.

During the halftime break, looking at the exhausted Su Feng, Kobe regretted that he wasn't on the Lakers' playoff roster this year.

Otherwise, even if Su Feng held his head down...

he would have to go up and hammer all these guys who were bullying Su Feng into Vince Carters of yesteryear.

Uh...

fun fact.

Because Carter won five straight one-on-one games between him and Kobe in the Iron House back then, he almost called the police after the "special training" that day.

No one knows how Carter walked out of the training hall that day.

Anyway, according to his cousin...

Carter was pushed out in a wheelchair at the time.

Staples Center, after the halftime break, the two teams switched sides and fought again.

As a result, as soon as the third quarter started, Nowitzki used a three-pointer to tie the score for the Mavericks.

And at the scene, watching the Lakers' hard-fought lead disappear in an instant...

the fans in Los Angeles gradually fell silent.

However...

on the court...

the second before, the Lakers' fans had just lowered their heads...

the next second, Su Feng used a super-long three-pointer that no one had expected to make them raise their heads again!

I haven't admitted defeat yet, why did you kneel first?

Listen up!

No one is allowed to kneel tonight!

Staples, after throwing out this unexpected sniper shot, Su Feng turned his body towards the Mavericks' bench for the first time!

And as the basketball swished through the net...

at this moment, on the sidelines, the Mavericks' players all shook their heads repeatedly.

Before, how excited the Dallas people were after winning the first two games...

that also represented how much they feared Su Feng.

"This is definitely the...

most, most, most crazy game I've ever seen!"

In the center of the court, while retreating, Su Feng pointed to the right wing of the Mavericks' half court and shouted loudly at Prince: "Listen up, I'm going to hit a three-pointer there later.

Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Hearing this...

for Su Feng's trash talk that couldn't be more in-your-face...

what could the poor, weak, and helpless Prince do?

To be fair.

It's...

it's quite despairing.

And on the sidelines, an ignorant Mavericks bench player casually said, "Does he think he's Larry Bird?"...

then...

Prince suddenly became anxious!

No...

if you really force Su Feng into a corner, then you guys come up and defend him yourselves!

What's the point of just bullying honest people?

On the court, just as Nowitzki made a "soft" contested jumper at the high post, Prince felt the anger from Su Feng that was enough to melt Antarctica.

"Is he really going to shoot from the place he just pointed to?"

And at the scene, the fans in Los Angeles also asked themselves this question more than once as Su Feng dribbled the ball over half court.

"When Su Feng gets serious, he never jokes with people." On the sidelines, watching Su Feng break through the Mavericks' encirclement, Davis muttered to himself, even though his teammates were open and he didn't pass the ball.

On the court.

Kidd did his best.

Before Su Feng intended to force a sniper shot, his aggressive defense had successfully delayed Su Feng.

And on the side.

Hamilton also did his best.

Because when Su Feng shot, he and Prince pounced on Su Feng almost at the same time.

But this ball...

even if the shooting motion was disrupted...

even if it was being thrown wildly like an amateur...

Su Feng still threw the ball towards the basket in the position he had just designated.

So the question is.

Could this kind of shot...

really go in?

On the sidelines, at the same time as Su Feng turned to the Mavericks' bench,

Kobe had already raised his right hand in advance.

Because others would be unfamiliar with this kind of shot from Su Feng,

he wouldn't.

In Philadelphia that year,

Su Feng was just a piece of trash in Kobe's eyes that he could trample on at will.

However, it was this piece of trash...

who used this amateur shooting method...

to score in front of him.

At this moment, whether it was stubbornness or a fit of pique,

this was Su Feng's response to the doubters.

A shooter

must maintain absolute confidence in their shot at all times and in all places!

Because if you don't believe you can make it, who else will believe you can make it?

Swish!

Staples...

at this moment, the legendary jerseys that were flying in the wind above its dome...

all seemed to have lost their color in front of Su Feng.

"Okay...

now I suddenly start to believe that some things are destined.

Because Su...

is indeed a man blessed by God!"

After sighing for a long time, Barkley said on TNT TV.

And on CCTV, after shouting "Oh heavens, oh earth!",

Yang Yi said, "In modern basketball, Su Feng is the man who has gathered all the unreasonable things in one!

He dares to shoot the shots that ordinary shooters don't dare to shoot.

He dares to do the things that ordinary shooters can't do.

Seriously, even if you go through the dictionary, you can't find a man whose playing style is more science fiction than Su Feng!"

Science fiction?

It's really quite science fiction.

But if Su Feng told you...

that in a few more years, there would be a group of players in the NBA who were just as science fiction as him,

I don't know what the people of this era would think.

Staples.

That night, after witnessing Su Feng's miracle on the court with their own eyes, the Lakers' victory became less unbelievable in people's eyes.

In the third quarter, in order to prevent Su Feng from scaring people on the court, the Mavericks were forced to use a crazy tactic of triple-teaming him whenever he got the ball.

It's just a pity that...

Su Feng tonight...

was the way Kobe liked him best.

Therefore, in Kobe's gratified smile...

as the clock ticked down to zero in the fourth quarter...

the Lakers, playing at home, also succeeded in winning a game back in their series against the Mavericks.

In the whole game, the final score between the two teams was 118 to 124.

And it's worth mentioning that...

although Su Feng did a lot of shocking things in this game...

his score was indeed not as high as in the first two games.

But in addition to scoring a total of 36 points for the Lakers, Su Feng also got 11 rebounds and 15 assists for the Lakers in this game.

Marion played well.

When Su Feng shook the Mavericks players on the court, he scored many points by relying on cutting to the basket, and he got a total of 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in the game.

And Gasol and Mo Williams scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 19 points, 4 assists, respectively.

In addition, Evans, who came off the bench, also had 14 points.

After the game, when talking about this game, John Davis said helplessly: "When he makes those incredible shots on the court...

I don't think any NBA coach will choose to let him shoot in the next game."

And when asked about his views on Su Feng's performance in this game, Kobe also used three GOATs to describe him.

"After watching tonight's game, I can't wait to come back right away!"

Oh, damn Su, in order to better assist me, have you already achieved accomplishments in passing that are no less than mine?

After finishing the interview, recalling the wonderful passes that Su Feng sent out on the court tonight, Kobe thought to himself with satisfaction.
