Chapter 186 Time Flies

Time flies.

September saw the official end of the first season of "Dunk of China" at the Cadillac Arena in Beijing.

Thanks to Durant's outstanding performance in the last few episodes, "Yao's Team" successfully won the championship of the first season of "Dunk of China."

However, the real climax of the final episode came after "Yao's Team" won the championship, when Durant and others were told that they would next face the Demon King team, responsible for guarding the final level, together with the players from "Kobe's Team."

Then, as the camera turned...

The Demon King team, composed of Su Feng, Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Yao Ming, and O'Neal, appeared on the court.

At this moment, after swallowing hard, the total of 10 players from the two teams participating in the final also showed a look that seemed to say, "Are you sure we really have to play against them?"

Without a doubt.

For these 10 players who made it to the end this summer...

This would be an unforgettable memory.

And for Chinese basketball, after this joyful summer, the basketball atmosphere throughout the country once again reached a new height.

Perhaps most grassroots players will find it difficult to embark on the path of professionalism for various reasons...

But this does not mean that they cannot realize their dreams in various rural versions of NBA games.

In addition, Wang Lei and Ding Jinhui, who performed well in this program, also successfully entered the field of vision of Zhang Bin, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.

After ending this happy vacation with Kobe, on the 10th, Su Feng, along with Britney and Kobe's family, officially started his "brother basketball" and "school district housing basketball" trip.

As for Su Hao, Su Baobao, and Su Tianliang, Su Feng left these three kids in Beijing on the advice of his old father.

However, upon learning that he was about to be separated from Su Hao...

For some reason...

Anyway, Su Feng felt that Kobe was even sadder than him, the father.

No!

This is my son!

Can't you just give birth to one yourself?

Uh...

Okay then.

Judging from Kobe's future performance of "two missed shots"...

The request to "give birth to a son" is indeed a bit too much for Kobe.

...

On the 11th, after arriving in Los Angeles, Su Feng and Britney officially moved into their new home.

This mansion in Newport is near Kobe's house.

In addition to a swimming pool, there is also a small basketball hall renovated according to Su Feng's requirements.

In addition, compared to the old house in Miami, the kitchen of this new house can be described as luxurious.

After all, besides playing basketball, Su Feng's biggest hobby is studying how to cook, so Su Feng has always attached great importance to kitchen facilities.

And on the first floor underground, in order to allow the children to learn better in the future, Su Feng also had it transformed into a library.

Of course, as a game enthusiast who once fantasized about being an e-sports player, Su Feng did not forget to move the PS game discs he bought in Miami.

Perhaps because he played too many games in his previous life that didn't even care about their reputation in order to make money, in this life, when playing these retro games, Su Feng found that, in addition to the picture quality, many details were very well-made in the design and production of these old games.

Take 2k8, which is about to be released...

The 2k at this time...

Could that be compared to the future annual money-grabbing game?

In order to make the players in the game more realistic, although in terms of animation capture, 2k at this time cannot be compared with the future, but just the ability value of a role player, at this time 2k will not only score according to the player's performance last season, and every point of ability value is enough to highlight 2k's rigor.

But the future...

Sigh!

Isn't it enough for the fans to be happy?

According to 2k official sources, Kobe and Su Feng will be the cover characters for the ordinary and special collector's editions of 2k8, which will be released soon.

On the one hand, this is to take advantage of the popularity of Su Feng's recent joining the Lakers, and on the other hand, 2k also knows that there are a large number of Lower Merion CP fans in the United States and China.

In addition, in the latest announced player ability values, compared to the 2k versions in the future where 90s are not as good as dogs, there are only 10 players in 2k8 whose ability values exceed 90.

Among them, in addition to Su Feng, who must be given a total rating of 99 as usual...

James and Wade only got a rating of 95.

And although Kobe, who is currently recovering from injury, also got a rating of 96 thanks to being the cover character...

However, in the Lakers, the player with the third highest ability value is actually Luke Walton, with a total rating of only 71...

Good heavens!

No wonder the Lakers fans have been scolding the Lakers management for not doing anything lately!

Because if he didn't have God's perspective, Su Feng might have scolded with this group of Lakers fans.

On the 12th, after consulting Britney on the usage of some uncommon English words, before the Lakers' new season training camp began, Su Feng first met with Little Buss and Kupchak.

Because this summer, after Su Feng joined the Lakers through a sign-and-trade, the Lakers currently do not have any extra salary space to sign any star players.

And, there are no other chips in the Lakers, so Su Feng knows that Kupchak has also been worried about the Lakers' lineup framework for next season recently.

"Su, now the first thing we have to consider is who should be our starting point guard next season.

Janero (Pargo) is okay as a substitute, but if he is the starting point guard, then our backcourt will be too weak."

As one of the few general managers in the league who both understands basketball and knows every player, Kupchak went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Su Feng, who knew that Kupchak's words had a hidden meaning, also asked, "Then do you have any good suggestions, Mitch?"

"What do you think of Derek Fisher?" Kupchak said, looking at Su Feng.

"Derek? I remember he just renewed his contract with the Magic last year, didn't he?" Su Feng said after being stunned.

In this life, as one of the chips in the Lakers' trade for Kidd, if Su Feng remembers correctly, Fisher was traded to the Suns by the Lakers very early.

And later, after discovering that McGrady's kidneys were not as good as Kobe's Achilles tendon, Fisher also decisively left Phoenix after his contract expired last summer.

But listening to Kupchak's meaning today...

Fisher has already contacted the Lakers privately, wanting to return to the embrace of this Lakers team?

"Derek's daughter's eyes have not been very good. A few days ago, Derek told me that he hoped to reach a buyout agreement with the Magic as soon as possible, so as to return to Los Angeles to treat his daughter." Kupchak said.

Su Feng: "..."

Although the level of medical care in various places in the United States is indeed not the same...

But just by listening to this infuriating reason, Su Feng felt that Fisher was not worthy of being a father at all.

Because in Su Feng's previous life, Fisher used this as a reason to make the Jazz fans feel like their IQ was being played by a villain.

So, after shaking his head at Kupchak, Su Feng decisively refused and said, "Let's forget about Derek. When I was still playing for the Raptors, do you know which of your players we most hoped would appear on the court?"

Hearing this, Little Buss, as a hardcore "Lower Merion CP fan," always seemed particularly "smart" at this time and抢答 said: "Could it be Derek?"

Su Feng nodded and continued, "I have seen the players who are still on the free agent market. I think Maurice Williams is the most suitable candidate for us compared to Derek.

Also, when we played against him last year, Maurice told me that he especially liked the 'Phenomenon' series of shoes, so he hoped to become the spokesperson for the 'Phenomenon' series.

Therefore, as long as I give him a call, I believe he will definitely choose the Lakers first this summer."

Maurice Williams?

The one who was rated by ESPN as the worst passing point guard in the NBA today?

Looking at Su Feng, Kupchak suddenly fell silent.

Because in Kupchak's view...

If the Lakers were to use their only mid-level exception this summer on Williams...

The scene after Kobe returns in the future...

That would indeed be a bit beautiful.

However, Su Feng's next words answered the doubts in Kupchak's mind, "I have seen the Lakers' current roster.

In fact, Peja and Luke are both good functional players.

And Mark, who we selected with a second-round pick, is also the best center in this draft.

But with Kobe not being able to return until the 08/09 season, you can't expect me to score 40 or 50 points every game, right?

Organization is indeed not Maurice's forte, but as long as he can buy me some rest time on the court, then it won't be a problem for us to make the playoffs in the new season.

And when Kobe returns, I will personally come forward to persuade Maurice to play the sixth man.

Believe me, if Maurice can fully utilize his specialty of playing disorganized basketball on this Lakers team, then maybe he will be elected as the NBA's best sixth man in the future."

In Su Feng's original timeline, even before retiring, Williams, nicknamed "Mo Bu Chuan" (Mo No Pass), could still average nearly 9 points per game for the Cavaliers in the regular season.

And at the peak of his career, once this guy went crazy, his scoring ability could even rival some stars in a certain local time period.

In Miami, Su Feng had experience working with Ginobili and Lou Will, and he knew how to tame these players who always made people feel nonsensical when they played.

In addition, after Su Feng prepared to develop Gasol towards the direction of high post offense, plus Kobe, who will return in full health in the future, where will this Lakers team have the ball rights to give to the tool man position of point guard?

And compared to traditional point guards, "Mo Bu Chuan's" biggest advantage lies precisely in this.

Because as long as you can give him enough offensive firepower, then with Su Feng's current prestige, isn't what Williams usually needs to do just to be responsible for dribbling the ball across the half-court?

In Su Feng's previous life, because most Chinese fans had a bad impression of "Mo Bu Chuan" when Yi Jianlian played for the Bucks, many people lacked a correct understanding of Williams.

But for the current Lakers, just Williams' career nearly 40% three-point shooting percentage in disorganized battles is enough to make Su Feng tempted.

Because with this guy around...

No matter whether he can go crazy on the court, you must give him a certain amount of respect.

And so, Su Feng successfully persuaded Kupchak.

But before the start of the new season, the Lakers still have a problem that must be solved.

That is...

In addition to the point guard position, in the power forward position, the only players who can play for the Lakers are Luke Walton.

However, for Kupchak's concerns, Su Feng only used one sentence to completely reassure him.

"Isn't the best power forward in the league sitting in front of you right now?"

What Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki?

In the basketball circle, is there a second candidate for the best power forward in the world other than himself?

Although in his early years, Su Feng hated the position of power forward.

But in recent years, as his elbows have become thicker and the arms of young people have become thinner...

Su Feng has long been addicted to the pleasure of low-post wrestling and cannot extricate himself.

As for whether the Lakers' perimeter defense in the new season will be too weak in the case of Su Feng serving as the team's power forward?

"As long as Mark and I can stand in the penalty area, no matter how other teams break through on the court, they can only pass the ball to the outside." Looking at Kupchak, Su Feng smiled.

"But what if the opponents we meet shoot well on the perimeter..."

"Hey, Mitch, you can't really expect me to lead this Lakers team to compete for the championship, right?"

Although Su Feng will take the championship as his ultimate goal every season...

But this meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

Therefore, based on the Lakers' current lineup framework, how could they immediately be as flawless as the Heat?

Tradeoffs.

Will undoubtedly become the main theme of this Lakers' new season.

And coincidentally, after Su Feng settled Maurice Williams by phone that day, before the start of the Lakers' preseason training camp, Coach Lue also had the same view as him.

"In the new season, I plan to focus the team on offense.

We have a lot of three-point shooters on our team. As long as we can run, they will definitely get shooting opportunities on the court.

As for defense...

I plan to wait until Kobe recovers from his injury before considering it." This day, when discussing the Lakers' tactics for the new season with Su Feng, Coach Lue said confidently.

Hearing this, Su Feng also added: "Then in the preseason training camp, we must cultivate the habit of the shooters to dare to shoot."

"In addition, I have watched Mark's game videos in Barcelona.

As long as he can reduce his weight to 125 kilograms, I think his style of play in Barcelona will help us enrich our offensive routines on the court." Looking at Su Feng, Coach Lue said, stroking his chin.

See...

What is meant by "knowing the world's situation before leaving the thatched cottage"?

This day, looking at Coach Lue, who had not even seen Gasol in person...

Su Feng finally understood why this guy would have so many骚 routines when coaching in the future. (sao - flirtatious, unorthodox)

Of course.

No matter how you change it.

In Tyronn Lue's view, the most important tactic for this Lakers team in the new season is...

Is to let the players fully grasp the essence of the tactic of "giving the ball to Su Feng."

This day.

Looking at Su Feng face to face.

Tyronn Lue knew very well...

The man in front of him has been deceiving the whole world.

"Su, even if there is only a one in a billion chance, you will never miss the opportunity to challenge for the championship, right?"

Looking at Su Feng's focused expression during training, at this moment, Coach Lue silently asked in his heart.

Darkest moment, deep in the quagmire?

No...

In Tyronn Lue's view...

From the moment Su Feng joined the Lakers, this Lakers team could only have one goal in the years to come.

"My Lakers, championship!"

...

ps: The update is late but it's here! In addition, as my body recovers, how about we play a wave of搶樓 (qiang lou - snatching the floor) again when we update on the evening of the 5th, those little kids who have never won against me?
