Silently Writing
Chapter 700 The Long Night (Part Four, Chapter 1: Let's Take a Picture!)
American Airlines Arena, as the final score between the two teams was set at 98 to 135, amidst the deafening cheers, the Heat players, ignoring Su Feng's protests, threw him directly into the air.
On television, following the aerial camera, fans were treated to a grand fireworks display.
As everyone knows, in the NBA, if you want to prove that you once dominated an era, you must validate yourself with a dynasty.
As the undisputed dynasty in the eyes of the world, although the NBA has never had a written rule that three consecutive championships constitute a dynasty, but...
The so-called three-peat as a dynasty has never been a rigid condition concocted by Chinese or American fans.
In Su Feng's previous life, before his rebirth, even with official endorsements, the controversy over the "Spurs Dynasty" and the "Warriors Dynasty" never ceased, which is the best proof.
Because in the NBA, achieving a three-peat is extremely difficult, so if you want to establish an undisputed dynasty recognized by the world...
Undoubtedly.
A three-peat is the conventional "hard condition."
On TNT, at the end of the game, Pippen, a former member of the Bulls Dynasty, congratulated Su Feng, saying, "Only a legend can surpass a legend!
Congratulations to King Su for successfully creating history with his team tonight!"
04/05 season championship.
05/06 season championship.
06/07 season championship.
In Miami, after leading the Heat to the peak for three consecutive years...
At this moment, Su Feng had become the undisputed number one player in the basketball world.
Eleven-year career.
Six championships.
Tonight, Su Feng's haters were destined to have a sleepless night.
Because now...
What else could they use to hate on Su Feng?
"Humph! Don't be too arrogant, you brain-dead fans!
Don't you know that your master is leaving Miami next season?
Just wait and see, maybe this year will be the last time he wins a championship!"
Uh...
Because in competitive sports, most athletes experience a decline in their condition and physical function after the age of 30...
So, you know...
The haters weren't exactly wrong this time.
It's just...
Since it's the so-called majority, there will definitely be one or two exceptions.
For example, the "Melo Story" that Su Feng followed for years and years in his memory.
And, for example...
Michael Jordan, who at 36, could run and jump better than most young people.
And Stephen Curry, who would still be called "Elementary School Student" in his thirties.
Although Su Feng, with the Shot-Clock System, would eventually succumb to time.
But after obtaining the [Evergreen] badge...
Combined with Su Feng's ancestral "health secrets"...
Clearly...
People of this era didn't realize the severity of the problem.
At American Airlines Arena, after nearly being "murdered" by his teammates, Su Feng, just back from the sky, was "rewarded" with a bucket of ice water each by Riley and Spoelstra.
Su Feng: "..."
Good heavens!
Are you two planning to keep me in Miami "forever"?
On the court, Su Feng, who suddenly felt like he was in Antarctica, finally understood...
What it meant to be "forgotten as soon as you leave."
Aside, after personally cutting the net symbolizing the championship for the Heat and hanging it around his neck, O'Neal grabbed Su Feng and pulled him to the center of the stage.
"Today, you can't refuse to dance with Shaq again, right?" O'Neal said, patting Su Feng's butt.
Su Feng: "..."
I...
I'll dance your head off...
Alright...
For the sake of the three-peat...
Looking at O'Neal, who was staring at him affectionately, in the center of the court, although reluctantly, Su Feng eventually twisted and danced with him.
And at this moment...
Kobe regretted not having the habit of carrying a camera with him.
Otherwise...
Just Su Feng's funny dance moves at that time...
He would have to take a picture of it!
On the court, the Heat players were having a blast.
On the sidelines, after recklessly opening several bottles of champagne in a row, Ginobili, still feeling unsatisfied, simply joined the "square dance" formation in the center of the court.
On the other side, watching Riley preparing to light a cigar, Spoelstra, like when the Heat first won the championship, directly snatched the expensive Cuban cigar from Riley's mouth.
"Pat, have you forgotten that I am the head coach of this team?"
Riley: "..."
Rebellion! Rebellion!
At that moment, watching Spoelstra's "God on the sidelines" demeanor...
Riley felt that he had cultivated a "wolf in sheep's clothing" over the years.
However, how could Spoelstra be the only "wolf in sheep's clothing" tonight?
On the court, just as Riley was still heartbroken about his Cuban cigar, suddenly, Su Feng and Ginobili, who had just returned from square dancing, used the champagne cannons that the staff had just replenished to spray him indiscriminately.
Die, Riley, you old thief!
Then, Mourning and Payton, who were retiring this summer, also brought two big buckets of ice water from the locker room and poured them all over Riley's head.
Riley: "..."
I...
I'm already an old man in my 60s!
Don't you understand what it means to respect the old and love the young?
Respect the old and love the young?
Emmm.
Seriously, with Riley's physical fitness, in Mourning and Payton's view, even after they both passed away, Riley would still be dominating the NBA!
At the scene, after the Heat players' nearly crazy celebration, when the award ceremony began, even the NBA officials were helpless.
Because these disheveled, alcohol-smelling demons and monsters didn't look like NBA players who had just won the championship?
"Or, you guys should go back to the locker room and change your clothes first?" Before the award ceremony began, at Stern's instruction, an NBA official suggested to the Heat.
Hearing this, Mourning and Payton, who had long been eager to become dynasty players, immediately became anxious!
"Change clothes? Just give us the damn championship trophy, we want to continue celebrating!"
NBA official: "..."
And so, like that.
As Su Feng raised that damn O'Brien Trophy for the Heat for the third consecutive year...
The most impressive thing for fans at the scene and in front of the TV was probably the atmosphere at the Heat's home court, which was like a farmers' market...
Inside the arena, some excited male fans had already taken off their shirts and were waving them like towels.
On the side, the ever-enthusiastic Miami girls, ignoring the eyes of their male companions, showed off their youthful and beautiful abs in the dancing crowd.
It wasn't until Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings, shook his head and took the stage with the Finals MVP trophy, symbolizing the highest individual honor in the NBA playoffs, that the Miami arena "quieted down."
"Why bother with the award ceremony?
Just give the damn trophy to our King Su!"
Stern: "..."
Russell: "..."
Alright...
It seems there's really no need to go through the process.
Because at the scene, amidst the cheers of the Miami fans, who else could be the Finals MVP this year?
Chinese player Su Feng.
Tonight, he was elected the NBA Finals MVP for the sixth time in his career, just so you know!
"Su ———— Feng!!"
Inside the arena, led by the live DJ, Su Feng's name echoed once again in the skies of Miami.
"When the glitz fades away, when time passes, when the traces of time climb onto your face, when your shimmering Miami No. 23 is about to leave us, what else can we say at this moment except thank you?
There is a tactic called passing the ball to Su Feng, and there is a player called a born killer.
You have made too many people fall in love with basketball, fall in love with you, you have made too many people cheer for you, cry for you.
Time, don't rush, I won't push what's coming; time, don't rush, I'll still chase what's going away.
When you have to say goodbye to Miami, waving goodbye is like the passing of time...
Who can resist it? Who can sigh and be helpless?
And when your story becomes history, when we are no longer young, we will tell future generations that you are the only Su Feng, you are a legend in the basketball world!" On CCTV, as the magnetic voice of Wang Tao, the host of "Basketball Park," entered the ears of the bunnies in front of the TV...
No matter how many words, no matter how complex the emotions, at this moment, they all turned into one sentence...
fgnB! (fuck, great, niubi)
Tonight, besides the haters, the Heat's supporters and Su Feng's fans were also destined to have a sleepless night.
The King will eventually leave.
No one knows if Su Feng will be able to return to the Finals stage in the future.
But, as ESPN said immediately after the game...
Even if Su Feng retires now...
His number one in history is unshakable!
On the night of the championship, besides celebrating with the fans at home for hours, Su Feng also got drunk once at the farewell banquet proposed by O'Neal.
Although, according to Mourning's recollection, Su Feng only drank one beer at the time...
But Su Feng argued the next morning, "My body is as strong as an elephant!
How could one beer knock me down?"
"Then, how about I organize another celebration banquet tonight?" Looking at Su Feng, O'Neal smiled at Su Feng with a "just look at your little alcohol capacity" expression.
Hearing this, Su Feng shook his head and said, "No, Shaq, I'm going to start training this afternoon to prepare for the new season."
Heat players: "..."
Feng-ge, can't you leave us some way to survive?
The Heat just won the championship, and you're already thinking about preparing for the new season?
How self-disciplined is Su Feng, the number one player in the basketball world?
"Didn't you say you wanted to rest this summer?" On the side, Kobe, who also attended the Heat's celebration banquet as a special guest, looked at Su Feng with curiosity.
"I am going to rest. But resting and maintaining a certain amount of training every day don't conflict.
Oh, right, this summer, I plan to go back to China to do a 'Dunk of China' show, how about it, are you interested in giving some guidance to the Chinese basketball teenagers? The great Kobe Bryant." Su Feng said, putting his arm around Kobe's shoulder.
The great Kobe Bryant?
So...
That's why Kobe is destined to be completely controlled by Su Feng in this life.
Even before Su Feng could use the ultimate move of "I'll make you a hundred delicious meals," Kobe, who was still in the recuperation period, couldn't help it.
Because...
As someone who has always liked to teach others how to play basketball...
After hearing Su Feng's idea, how could Kobe refuse?
It's just...
"Isn't our movie not finished yet?" Looking at Su Feng, Kobe asked.
"You mean 'Air Bound'?
Don't worry, I asked about that movie, it's only a few shots away from being finished, we can ask the crew to come and shoot it after we come back from China." Su Feng said, patting Kobe's shoulder.
"Then, what are you planning to do in the time before I go back to China with you?" Kobe asked.
"I discussed it with Mitch and Jim, it's best to announce the trade between the Lakers and the Heat in August.
Therefore, before returning to China, after the Heat's championship parade ends, I plan to go to Spain first." Su Feng replied, looking at Kobe, who was about to become his new co-driver.
"Spain? What are you going to do in Spain?" At this moment, Kobe was like Su Hao, who always asked him questions.
"Of course, we're going to bring back a future interior barrier who can fight alongside us!" Looking at Kobe, Su Feng replied.
Because after the Lakers and the Heat complete the trade, besides Kobe, the Lakers will only have a bunch of NBA D-League players left...
So Su Feng knew that during Kobe's injury period, he had to help the Lakers cultivate a group of young players who could play as soon as possible.
As a strong interior player who would automatically participate in the draft in 2007 in the original timeline and be selected by the Lakers with a second-round pick...
Marc Gasol was undoubtedly the most suitable person in Su Feng's eyes to be the Lakers' third leader in the future.
Because if Su Feng remembered correctly, at this time, in order to catch up with his handsome older brother, Little Gasol had already made up his mind to lose weight.
So in Su Feng's view, if he could persuade Little Gasol to land in the NBA a year earlier, then at that time, under his guidance, Little Gasol's lottery ticket would definitely have a promising future.
As for why Su Feng wanted the Lakers and the Heat to wait until August to announce the trade, instead of announcing the news immediately after the free agent market opened, so as to recruit more players who wanted to hug Su Feng's thighs and win the championship for the Lakers?
Because first of all, since the Lakers had given him such a high degree of sincerity this time, Su Feng naturally couldn't choose to sell the future for the championship in front of him like Aunt Jenny in his memory.
Secondly, as the current number one player in the NBA, Su Feng knew that if the Lakers formed an F4 lineup around him again this summer to form a galactic battleship, it would definitely attract a lot of criticism.
Therefore, whether it was for his and Kobe's reputation, or for the future of this Lakers team, this time, Su Feng would not copy the successful experience of the Raptors and the Heat in terms of team building methods and ideas.
Just try to imagine...
The Lakers, who were in the darkest moment, slowly endured the long night until dawn...
And then at that dawn...
How dazzling should the sun in Los Angeles be at dawn?
