Silently Writing
Chapter 718 The Storm is Coming, and a New Generation of Talents Emerges!
On the 2nd, in the away game against the Raptors, Su Feng, who made 19 of 28 shots, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws, scored 51 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Lakers without exceeding 30 shot attempts.
This season, the Raptors, having let go of Carter and bought out Marbury, had already started their rebuilding process.
In January of this year, in order to prevent O'Neal Jr. from leading the team to win more games...
Thus, after O'Neal Jr. sprained his ankle and left the court, the Raptors management immediately announced that O'Neal Jr. would need as long as five months to recover, until the end of the regular season.
And for this kind of paid vacation, O'Neal Jr. accepted it almost without thinking.
Look, how "conscientious" are the capitalists of the NBA?
On the 4th, the Lakers visited the Continental Airlines Arena to face the Nets.
As the once famous "New Jersey Youth Army"...
In the past two years, with Pierce's departure and Francis's knees giving out, the Nets' situation compared to the Raptors can be described as one being a miserable brother to another.
In this game, Su Feng's touch slightly declined, making only 16 of 33 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws, for a total of 46 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists for the Lakers.
On the 5th, the Lakers played back-to-back on the road against the Hawks.
Under the joint blockade of Marion and Su Feng, "Jaws Emperor" Wade wanted to call 911 several times during the game to report to the police.
Because often, as soon as he got past Su Feng, Marion would help defend in front of him.
And then, looking at the two strong men surrounding him...
No matter how fancy Wade's crossover was, he couldn't escape the two men's unbreakable seven-day lock.
In addition, from the one-nine split when facing Gasol Sr. last time...
To Gasol Jr., who was able to manage a three-seven split with Gasol Sr. for most of this game, he also used his performance to show the world the progress he had made this season.
Huh?
You say a three-seven split with Gasol Sr. isn't a big deal?
Wake up!
That's because as a Chinese fan, you're used to seeing Yao Ming going back and forth with Gasol Sr. all year round!
In fact, in today's league, there are few inside players who can do better than Gasol Jr. did this night against Gasol Sr.
But unfortunately...
Although the Lakers won this game, in the eyes of the Fengmi (Su Feng fans), the Lakers didn't completely win.
Because in the whole game, Su Feng, who only made 13 of 31 shots, including free throws and three-pointers, only scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists in this game, a mediocre performance with no superstar style.
(Su Feng: This is a back-to-back! Am I not allowed to play poorly in a back-to-back?)
On the 7th, the Lakers continued their Eastern Conference tour.
And at Madison Square Garden...
Facing the Knicks fans who had even photoshopped his No. 23 jersey last summer, Su Feng also made the Knicks fans feel what it means to "steal your wife and then ask her for English lessons in front of you" that night.
As early as last summer, when Su Feng announced that he would join the Lakers through a sign-and-trade, a large number of Knicks fans took to the streets to burn Su Feng's jersey.
It's just that unlike the Knicks fans burning James' jersey in Su Feng's memory...
Unofficially, basically everyone treated the Knicks fans as a joke.
Because...
Su Feng never said he would join the Knicks!
Even the so-called "hints" from the Knicks fans were just their wishful thinking.
There was no way, the proud New Yorkers would rather live in their own delusions than face reality.
As a result, in the midst of "cheers and laughter" at Madison Square Garden...
Su Feng, who made 21 of 36 shots, including 7 of 13 three-pointers, and 13 of 13 free throws, also successfully broke his personal single-game scoring record for this season that night.
And after the game, in an interview, Su Feng also jokingly told reporters, "The Knicks are a great team, they have a lot of great players, like...
Hey, besides LaMarcus, what are the names of their other players?
Well, that's not important.
In short, I hope they can have a better performance in the playoffs.
Hey, by the way, when was the last time they made the playoffs?"
Knicks fans: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
At the press conference, listening to Su Feng's almost insane complaints, the reporters who had traveled all the way from Los Angeles were just short of typing "Well done!" on the public screen.
And originally, Su Feng's two complaints were already enough to stab the Knicks fans in the heart...
But who would have thought that Marcus, the Lakers' team reporter at the time, would sprinkle salt on the Knicks fans' wounds: "Thank you to the person who invented the jersey number.
Because he must have foreseen that people would not be able to remember the names of the Knicks players in the future, so he invented the jersey number. huoshanwenxue (volcano literature)
In addition, thank you to the Knicks for their outstanding contribution to world peace!
After all, if it weren't for New York's superheroes not wanting the villains to know how bad the Knicks are, how could they be so desperate when saving New York?"
I have to say, James Dolan is the one in this league who is standing in the atmosphere.
Because, for the NBA with 30 teams, no matter how you build a team, you can't gather the stars in this league on one team.
So...
Since that's the case, why not turn Madison Square Garden into the home court of the other 29 NBA teams?
You see...
You laugh at the Knicks for being hopeless.
But the Knicks laugh at you for not understanding the big picture.
New York.
A city that other NBA teams love, except for the Knicks.
Madison Square Garden.
A "basketball mecca" that can stand up and applaud for other teams at any time, except when the Knicks are playing.
No exaggeration...
In Su Feng's opinion, even the most imaginative novelist would never dare to write a story about saving the Big Apple.
Because...
God can't save these Knicks.
And on the 9th, on the same day that the NBA officially announced the starting lineups for this year's Eastern and Western All-Star teams, the Lakers' four-game winning streak in February was broken by the Heat.
Returning to Staples Center, the Lakers were unable to stop the Heat's wave after wave of attacks under Su Feng's leadership.
But this game, Su Feng's performance once again shocked the world.
Because in the whole game, he made 22 of 41 shots, including free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 63 points for the Lakers.
60+ in two consecutive games!
I don't understand, so let me ask...
Is this Zhaolong (Zhao Yun) riding the "Zhaoye Jade Lion"?
After the game, in an interview, Riley said that in the NBA, it is not uncommon for a star to take 40 shots and score 60 points.
Because in Miami, he was used to it.
"I don't think 40+ per game is Su's limit.
You can see, we are one of the best defensive teams this season.
But as long as he wants to, he can score anytime, anywhere."
On the other side, at the press conference, Spoelstra, who has gradually felt that the job of coaching is not easy this season, commented on Su Feng.
On the 10th, the Lakers flew to Oakland together to prepare for the game against the Warriors on the 11th.
Because Chris Cohan sent Marion to Los Angeles against Nelson Sr.'s wishes, Nelson Sr. officially announced in February that he would leave the position of Warriors head coach at the end of this season.
And in an interview, Nelson Sr., who also served as the Warriors' general manager, repeatedly told fans through the media that he had been betrayed by his colleagues in the deal involving Marion.
"He (Cohan) single-handedly buried all of our dreams.
I can't accept working for such a person anymore.
As a head coach, I will fulfill my duties until the end of the season.
But I believe that history will convict Chris Cohan!"
There is no doubt.
No matter what Cohan's reasons are, his behavior of sending Marion away in the winter of this year is as unforgivable as the French raising the "national flag" to surrender to the Germans in World War II.
Therefore, on the 11th, when Marion returned to the Oracle Arena...
Looking at the empty stands...
At this moment, probably no one understands how hurt Nash, Stoudemire, and others are more than Marion.
Throughout February, as of now, the Warriors have not won a single game.
Because after that string that had always been taut broke with Marion's departure...
The Warriors players had long lost their goal.
And what has Chris Cohan been up to, as the culprit of all this?
You might not believe it if I told you...
He is busy selling the Warriors' related matters.
Whether the Warriors' performance is good or bad is no longer so important to Cohan.
Because only by selling the Warriors as soon as possible can he solve his debt problems.
As a star alliance, often when a team succeeds, many people can only see the players on the team achieving great feats on the court.
But even Krause, who fell out with Jordan, contributed far more to that Bulls team than most owners in this league.
Admittedly, players are the foundation of a team.
But without a relatively stable environment...
Then even the strongest players are destined not to be able to concentrate on the game on the court.
In fact, from the moment Chris Cohan decided to use the Warriors to save his family, this team, the only one that had ever beaten Su Feng in the Finals in his career, had already announced its fate.
On the evening of the 11th, before the New Orleans All-Star Weekend began, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 119-110 on the road.
Marion played well in this game, making 9 of 14 shots, including free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 20 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.
And after this night...
When asked by the media whether he would leave Oakland this summer...
Steve Nash, who has been exhausted recently, smiled slightly and said, "When have you ever seen a captain abandon his ship when it is sinking?"
From Phoenix to Toronto, and then from Toronto to Oakland.
If Steve Nash's previous career was faithfully fulfilling his responsibility to assist his teammates...
Then now, having already been promoted to captain, he knows...
Even though fate has whispered to the Warriors...
You cannot withstand the storm.
He must also leave hope for the team, which has been deeply imprinted with his mark, to rebuild at this moment.
Although I am not the storm.
But I have conquered the entire league with the storm.
Nash was already 34 years old this year.
And as Nash's words spread around the world through the Internet...
Destiny and the timeline have also quietly changed again by a little bit.
"If I can fight alongside such a great player...
Then why not?"
On this day, watching Nash's vicissitudes of eyes on the TV screen, Stephen Curry, who was leading the Davidson Wildcats to prepare for March Madness, sighed silently.
And in Boston, Joe Lacob, as a minority shareholder of the Celtics, who has been increasingly eager to fully control a team, also saw some possibility from Nash's eyes on this day...
……
On February 12th, as the vote king of this year's All-Star voting, Su Feng and LeBron James, who was elected the Eastern Conference vote king for the first time, selected their teams from afar.
Because Kobe missed the entire season due to injury, Brandon Roy, "Durant's good big brother, Seattle Kobe, Su Feng's only designated successor," was also added to this year's Western Conference All-Star starting lineup.
And after the starting lineups were selected, the starting lineups for this year's James' Team and Su Feng's Team are as follows:
James' Team: Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett, Roy, James.
Su Feng's Team: Stoudemire, Bosh, Su Feng, Wade, Nash.
In addition, the reserve lists for the two teams are as follows:
James' Team Reserves: Kidd, McGrady, Pierce, Ray Allen, Parker, Jamison, Howard.
Su Feng's Team Reserves: Paul, Gasol, Iverson, Carter, Nowitzki, Deron Williams, Rondo.
As the boss of the Heat, Rondo's selection as an All-Star reserve this year is mainly related to the fact that the judges did not know which Heat player to choose to enter the All-Star lineup.
And after Su Feng left the East, thanks to the Cavaliers' impressive record this season, Bosh was successfully elected as this year's Eastern Conference starting forward.
However, where there is joy, there is sorrow.
Because after Su Feng went west, the competition for the forward position in the West was particularly fierce, and Anthony was always disliked by Stern, so the judges ultimately chose Pierce between Pierce and Anthony.
And originally, Durant's popularity has been good since he participated in "Dunk of China" last summer...
But who would have thought that this guy actually said in a recent interview that he wanted to drink Scarlett Johansson's bathwater...
So, in order to make Durant and Scarlett Johansson "well-matched", the judges put this guy outside the reserve list without even thinking about it.
As everyone knows, before Durant joined the league, the predecessors all drank Madonna's bathwater.
And Su Feng slept with America's "national goddess."
Therefore, based on "Scarlett's" current status as a third-tier Hollywood actress, coupled with her acting skills that are called a vase...
God knows how collapsed David Stern was when he learned that Durant wanted to drink "Scarlett's" bathwater!
Young Master Du, do you know that you are now an NBA star, and the president is planning to make you the next generation leader?
Although lust is a common characteristic of most NBA stars...
But even if you want to drink people's bathwater, you can't say this in front of the media!
Unbelievable!
I have to say, in this increasingly impetuous society, Durant is the one who does not forget his original intention.
Because in the future, after becoming a billionaire, with the increasing development of social networks, Durant will not only become the first superstar to be caught by fans watching movies...
Moreover, he has licked countless female internet celebrities on social media.
In short, maybe Durant on the court is far away from the fans.
But as long as your mobile hard drive has something he is interested in, then even if you are thousands of miles away, you can become a good friend with him who can talk about everything.
