Chapter 1134 Hawks and Eagles

Dwight Howard boarded a private plane, and the Lakers flew to Atlanta overnight to prepare for their next game against the Hawks.

This season, compared to previous years, you have to admit that Su Feng's good condition during the back-to-back flying games is indeed related to the Lakers' remodeled F737 luxury private plane.

In the NBA, not all teams can afford the luxury of a private plane.

For example, back in Toronto, during flying games, the tall Raptors players could only curl up their legs on the plane.

And in Miami, although the Heat's foundation is thicker than the Raptors'...

But compared to a wealthy team like the Lakers...

It's like Dubai and Syria.

One in heaven, one on earth.

You know, as the Lakers' boss, Su Feng not only has his own personal space on this plane, but also considering that Su Feng has a family, on this specially modified retractable bed, Su Feng can even ask Britney to teach him English when she accompanies him on flying games.

In addition, to ensure Su Feng's diet, the Lakers also hired a chef from Sichuan, China, this season. As long as Su Feng is hungry, he can enjoy the most authentic Chinese food at any time, even during the flight.

In short...

The so-called heritage of a wealthy team never refers only to a team's lower limit on the court.

Because the quality service that the team provides to players in games and life is also a guarantee of a team's combat effectiveness in NBA games.

At noon on December 1st, the Lakers officially arrived in Atlanta.

On the same afternoon, the NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month and Rookies of the Month for the first month of the new season.

In the new season, Su Feng, who averaged 41.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 2.5 steals for the Lakers in November, won the Western Conference Player of the Month award for the first time in his career.

Because when Su Feng first entered the league, the Player of the Month award was not divided into East and West, so Su Feng has also become the only player in NBA history to have won the NBA Player of the Month, NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month, and NBA Western Conference Player of the Month awards.

In addition, the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the first month of the 07/08 season was won by Yao Ming.

In November, Little Yao not only broke his personal career high in single-game scoring in the game against the Lakers, but also led the 76ers to a 16-2 start with an average of 28.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in November.

And in the history of the NBA, this is also the first time in the NBA that two Chinese players have won the Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Month awards respectively.

In recent years, with the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team, in the reports of American reporters, it has been difficult to see words such as international players or foreign players in their reports interviewing Su Feng and Yao Ming.

Because just like dotA2 and LoL in the future...

As everyone knows, China is the only country in the world that is separately listed as a region by Valve and Riot.

Therefore, in the NBA, Chinese players are Chinese players, and foreign players are foreign players, which has gradually become the consensus of American reporters.

And in the selection of Rookie of the Month...

Al Horford, who plays for the Heat, and Kevin Durant of the SuperSonics, were respectively selected as the Rookies of the Month for the first month of the new season.

Although Greg Oden's season-ending injury has led many people to believe that the 2007 rookies have lost a player who is most impactful for the Rookie of the Year award before the season even started...

But the facts prove that the performance of the 2007 rookies is indeed worthy of the evaluation of a draft year.

In the new season, as one of the Lakers' bargaining chips for trading Su Feng, Horford averaged 12.8 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Heat.

From the data point of view, among the inside players in the 2007 class, only Marc Gasol's data can be on par with him.

But unfortunately...

Among a group of rookies in the West, in addition to Durant, who can crazily miss nearly 10 shots for the SuperSonics per game, Little Gasol also has to compete with Mike Conley and others...

Therefore, unless Little Gasol can put on a mask and break Durant and Conley's legs...

Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to win the Rookie of the Month award this season.

And from the point of view that the rookies selected by Western Conference teams are more competitive, you can also see that...

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why the NBA gradually formed a pattern of strong West and weak East...

Mainly because the Western managers generally have a better eye for talent than the Eastern Conference's mediocre ones.

In this life, due to Su Feng's reasons, the NBA's situation has indeed been dominated by Eastern Conference teams in the past ten years.

However, as Su Feng moved to the West and the overall strength of the East and West became more balanced, Su Feng knew...

With that group of mediocre people in the East...

They will be backstabbed by these "time-travelers" in the West sooner or later.

…

On the evening of the 1st, at the Philips Arena, what was very similar to when he and Lao Hu first met on the NBA court was...

Although he said he didn't want Little Gasol to enter the NBA too early...

But when Little Gasol was preparing to jump the ball with him in the center of the court, Big Gasol's excitement and excitement had already been written on his face.

For the Iberian Peninsula, where only the "Spanish National Derby" can cause a sensation nationwide...

This brotherly duel between Little Gasol and Big Gasol is also a feast in the hearts of Spanish sports fans.

In the new season, the Hawks are currently ranked third in the East.

Dwyane Wade, who just achieved the "double All-NBA" achievement last season, has already grown into the most outstanding scoring guard in the East this season.

Especially after trading for Gasol from the Grizzlies.

Under Gasol's coordination, this Hawks team, which is often criticized by the media for being "brainless," suddenly has its own brain.

On the court, in the first quarter, Little Gasol, who was still flexing his muscles in front of Dwight Howard, was beaten into a younger brother by Big Gasol as soon as he came up.

On both offense and defense, Big Gasol, who knows Little Gasol inside and out, seems to be waltzing on the court. In front of his elegant and smooth technical movements...

Little Gasol, who was completely blown out, is like the Joker in Gotham City.

In addition, on the flanks, the Hawks' overwhelming talent also made Su Feng feel for the first time what it means to be outnumbered.

Wade, Josh Smith, Childress...

In their prime, which of these three wasn't able to run and jump?

As the saying goes, fists fear the young and strong.

When playing against strong teams such as the Magic and the Suns, Coach Lue may still be able to use his quick wit to find opportunities for the Lakers to win.

But facing a team like the Hawks that relies purely on talent...

You can completely understand that...

This Hawks team is the nemesis of this Lakers team that Su Feng forced into the playoffs.

On TNT, watching Su Feng, who was struggling extremely hard tonight, Smith's thoughts couldn't help but be pulled back to ten years ago, "This game is too similar to that series after we eliminated the Bulls!

Because after Iverson was injured, we couldn't give Su more support in the next game against the Hawks, so at that time, no matter how well Su played, that Hawks team only needed to focus on beating our role players, and we had no power to fight back."

It is said that ten years is a cycle.

Ten years later, looking at this Hawks team with explosive talent...

Who says that the Hawks, who created the Atlanta miracle in the Finals that year, have no ambition for the championship in the new season?

In the end, on the road, the Lakers lost to the Hawks 103-119.

Throughout the game, the scores of the two teams were not far apart.

But if it weren't for Su Feng scoring 40 points for the Lakers...

Then this game, the Lakers can only be described as losing without suspense.

However, compared to Little Gasol, who was depressed for a while after being blown out by Duncan and Yao Ming...

Perhaps because he was always used to being beaten since childhood...

So after this game, Little Gasol became even more determined to surpass his older brother.

"Before, when I trained with my older brother, I couldn't see any hope at all.

But in this game, I can already go 19 with him!"

After the game, when Su Feng asked how he felt about playing against Big Gasol on the NBA court, Little Gasol said to Su Feng with a proud face.

Hearing this...

I don't know why...

Anyway, Little Gasol, who was originally tall in Su Feng's mind...

Suddenly became a bit shorter.

No!

In my memory, you are also a star center who has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year...

But your pursuit is just to go 19 with Big Gasol?

Unbelievable!

I have to say that in this life, as Su Feng gets in touch with more NBA stars in his memory, the less likely he is to have any respect for this group of players.

Of course, the main reason why Su Feng has such an idea is because in the past record of games, Big Gasol is often used by him as a background board...

To put it bluntly, the way "gods" and people look at everything in the world is destined to be different.

After all, in terms of Su Feng's current qualifications...

In the NBA, who isn't his defeated opponent?

…

In early December, after losing to the Hawks, the Lakers, who were gradually being studied by various NBA teams, basically won one game and lost one game in the next schedule.

At this time, the Feng haters, who had been tolerating the Feng fans for almost two months, also moved like turtles moving...

—They couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Since Su is so powerful, then why are the Lakers only ranked sixth in the West now?"

"What about the upper half of the West? What, it's only December, and Su is already tired?"

"Didn't I say it earlier? If he doesn't have teammates, then Su is at best an ordinary star."

Look, they were the ones who said that the Lakers' teammates were all fools before.

And now, they are the ones who say that Su Zilong can't cut his way out of Changban Slope.

I don't understand, just ask...

What exactly does Su Feng have to do to shut up this group of haters?

In fact, based on the Lakers' current record in the new season, the mainstream American media believes that Su Feng is going against the heavens this season.

Because when have you ever seen an NBA team that is not necessarily able to ensure that the team wins the game even when its star player scores 50 points?

In addition, although the Lakers are currently only ranked sixth in the West in the eyes of the haters, this Lakers team is only 2 wins away from the top four.

Therefore, these days, compared to the team's record...

What is probably most troublesome for Su Feng and Coach Lue is Jeff Van Gundy, who pointed out a wave of confusion for the various NBA teams in a basketball program in December.

Damn Jeff Van Gundy!

If Van Gundy was so fishy when he was a coach...

Then he is so godly when he is a commentator.

On December 2nd, while being a guest on a basketball program, targeting this Lakers team in the new season, Van Gundy pointed out that in fact, the Lakers' opponents don't need to be afraid of Su Feng going crazy in the game at all.

Because how well Su Feng can play, that's how much his teammates can give away.

Especially when Gasol and Maurice Williams, his only two helpers, are off the court to rest, as long as the Lakers' opponents can seize the gap between these two resting to play a wave, then they can take control of the game in the subsequent games.

As a result, after the Lakers' opponents in December successively believed in Van Gundy's evil ways...

In a trance, they found...

This dead bald donkey...

He really does have something!

Because, those problems that Van Gundy pointed out...

Are all problems that this Lakers team can't solve at the moment.

In the game, it seems that this Lakers team has many shooters.

But let alone compared with Kyle Korver...

In Su Feng's opinion, this Vujacic is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Matt Bonner in terms of confidence in shooting.

Maurice Evans is the only one in this Lakers' backup guard group who dares to play and can play.

But the problem is...

As a role player, Evans' ability in the game is limited.

In addition, so far in the new season, Williams has not been able to play to the level of his "Phenomenon. Lone Wolf" series spokesperson.

Therefore, as Christmas approaches, Su Feng knows that it is time for him to have a good talk with Williams.

Because before...

The reason why Su Feng was confident that the Lakers could make it into the upper half of the West was precisely because he believed that even with a group of fools, as long as Williams could play Zhou Cang, then even if he had to go to the meeting alone in many games, he would not be afraid at all.

Of course, in any case, after Kobe Bryant comes back next season, Su Feng will not give Van Gundy any chance to point out the problems of this Lakers team.

Because according to Feng's instructions, in December of this year, Kupchak has officially issued an invitation to Van Gundy.

Why are you being a commentator!

Coming to the Lakers to assist Coach Lue, isn't it great?

What?

You don't want to be an assistant coach to a rookie?

Then how about adding another million dollars to you?

Damn!

So good!

The facts prove that in front of money, the so-called face is not worth mentioning at all.

And this day, looking at Williams, Su Feng also asked with a puzzled face: "Maurice, are you not used to playing with me?"

Hearing this, after smacking his lips and being silent for a few seconds, Williams rubbed his hands back and forth and said, "I don't know why, but when I play with you, I always feel particularly nervous."

When recruiting Williams before, Su Feng valued his daring and hard-working personality.

But Su Feng ignored a very important problem.

That is, when playing with others, Williams is indeed daring and hard-working, but as a hardcore Feng fan...

When he is on the court with Su Feng, you may not believe it, but what Williams is thinking about is how to pass the ball well to Su Feng...

And this is like arranging someone who was originally in charge of table tennis to be in charge of football...

Williams is simply unable to发挥 his strengths in the game.

Therefore, after pondering in his mind for a while, Su Feng said: "How about this, next I will let the coach arrange for you to play as a substitute?

I will try my best to let Coach Lue stagger the time when we both play."

Looking up at Su Feng, Williams, who mistakenly thought that he was going to be banished by Feng, hurriedly shook his head.

But after patting Williams on the shoulder, Su Feng continued: "You don't have to worry about your playing time being reduced if you play as a substitute.

You don't have to worry that I no longer trust you.

Because in fact, next season, after Kobe comes back, I will also suggest that you play as the sixth man.

When leading the substitutes, you will have unlimited firing rights.

Remember Maurice, when I recruited you this summer, what I valued was never your organization and passing, but your scoring ability!"

Sixth man?

Hearing this...

Feng wants me to be his Manu Ginobili?

Okay...

Although it is one level lower than being Feng's Jordan, as a devout Feng fan, Williams is obviously more concerned about how he can help Su Feng shut up those ugly faces of the haters!

However, in the case of Williams playing as a substitute...

If the Lakers use the skinny Smush Parker to play as the starting guard...

Then it is basically equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

So after thinking for a while in his mind, this day, looking at Luke Walton, who usually eavesdrops on him and Coach Lue discussing tactics...

Su Feng knew that it was time for this Lakers team to make some changes!

Compared to inside defense.

Obviously, what this Lakers team needs more now is to concentrate all their strength that can be concentrated...

To attack the weak with strength.

In the past ten years, Su Feng has fought a lot.

But to overcome strength with weakness...

"Sure enough, even if I play for another ten years, I won't get tired of playing basketball!"
