Chapter 309 MVP and Farewell

In the final stages of the regular season, besides whether the Heat could regain their form, who would be elected as the regular season MVP this year had become the most concerning issue for people recently.

After four consecutive regular season MVPs, knowing that it would be difficult for him to win this honor again in the next few years, Su Feng generously said in an interview, "LeBron has improved rapidly this season, and I am optimistic about his future.

"But if you really want me to rate an MVP... then this season, I think I will definitely cast my vote for Dirk Nowitzki."

Although it was well known that Stern had been trying to promote Little Zhan Zhan in the past two years...

However, Su Feng knew that with James' current individual performance and team record, it would be difficult for him to convince everyone for a while.

In terms of record, the Celtics in the East and the Mavericks and Warriors in the West were currently better than the Cavaliers.

And if you want to compare data...

This season, James' average of "30+8+8" in personal statistics was indeed eye-catching.

But since Su Feng, who averaged "35+10+10", couldn't get the favor of the judges...

Then how could Little Zhan Zhan, as the "Su Feng successor," impress the judges?

Therefore...

If Su Feng guessed correctly, Stern would definitely choose one of Nowitzki or Nash for this year's regular season MVP.

As for why Su Feng supported Nowitzki instead of Nash in the interview?

Ha...

That's naturally because, in Su Feng's opinion, Nowitzki's dominance this season was stronger than Nash's.

Honestly, Little Dirk had officially entered his peak period.

After Nowitzki cultivated his signature "Golden Rooster Independence" (a one-legged fadeaway shot) to great success, his technical statistics this season were simply terrifying.

First is the three-pointer.

As a seven-foot tall player, Nowitzki's three-point shooting percentage this season was not only as high as 43.5%, but also his number of contested three-pointers was only second to Su Feng.

The second is the mid-range two-pointer.

This season, Nowitzki's mid-range two-point shooting percentage was an astonishing 52.8%.

And on the basketball court, such a mid-range two-point shooting percentage almost represents the visual perception it gives you:

As long as Nowitzki shoots, the ball will be 100% in.

Finally, there's Nowitzki's ability to draw fouls.

So far this season, Little Dirk can draw 9.6 free throws per game.

And with his free throw percentage as high as 91%...

As long as Nowitzki draws a foul...

Then you are basically giving him points.

In Su Feng's original timeline, many fans who had never watched Nowitzki's games often mistakenly thought that Nowitzki was a player who liked to float outside the three-point line...

But in fact, when Little Dirk was at the peak of his career, combining shooting with drives was his main way to score on the court.

I have to say, impression flow is indeed harmful.

Because Nowitzki's shooting was so accurate, many people had the impression that he could only shoot.

But if Nowitzki could only shoot...

Then his career average of 8.3 free throws...

Couldn't all be due to superstar treatment, right?

In fact, Nowitzki in his prime also had a lot of hard drives when attacking.

In particular, the agility of his turnaround when posting up was one of his classic moves.

Of course, due to his limited jumping ability, Nowitzki's dunks on the court were indeed much less brutal and bloody than those of Garnett.

It's a pity...

In this life, because he and Paul were hammered into "61 Plus Gentlemen" by Nowitzki in the playoffs...

Therefore, the wolf fans didn't dare to be as arrogant as they were in Su Feng's memory before Nowitzki won the championship when talking about Nowitzki.

And as the most unsolvable power forward in the league in terms of strong offensive ability...

In Su Feng's eyes, Little Dirk also had a bug this season...

That is...

"Godfather of Basketball" John Davis designed a set of offensive tactics for him that made him even more unsolvable.

Different from Carlisle's use of Nowitzki in his memory...

This season, through more reasonable space planning, Nowitzki could often get opportunities to mismatch on the court.

In Su Feng's previous life, before Nowitzki's post-up game was fully developed...

Many short and strong rebound monsters had left famous scenes of "single-handedly capturing Little Dirk" when facing Nowitzki.

But now...

If you still expect your short and strong rebound monster to perform when switching to Nowitzki on a mismatch...

Then at that time, the famous scene will definitely become a dark scene.

In short, just looking at the scoring data...

Nowitzki's 27.8 points per game this season were indeed not as good as Su, James, Wade, Kobe, Iverson, and others.

But don't forget...

Little Dirk's 27.8 points per game...

Were hammered out on the premise that he often clocked out in three quarters this season.

Therefore, compared to Nash, Su Feng, who had always been impartial, was more optimistic that Little Dirk could win this season's regular season MVP.

……

In late March, after defeating the Lakers, Nets, Bucks, and SuperSonics successively, the Heat had only 10 games left in the 06/07 season.

Among them, the Heat's two most critical games were undoubtedly the two games against the Sixers at home and away.

Because this season the NBA modified the regular season ranking rules, the division champion must get home-court advantage in the first round, and the regular season ranking is determined by the record of the top four, so in order to ensure that the Heat would not encounter the Celtics in the division semi-finals in advance...

On April 2, Yao, who happily led the Sixers to Miami, found something wrong as soon as he came up.

No!

Is this still the Heat retirement home and Miami kindergarten in my memory?

On the court, on this night...

The Heat, with the whole army working together, finally showed their defending champion style on the field after making the Heat fans wait for half a year.

In the whole game, Su Feng, who played the first three quarters for the Heat, got a total of 39 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, and 5 steals (5 steals were all from Little Yao).

And O'Neal, who played 32 minutes for the Heat, defended his dignity in another "Yao-Shaq showdown" with Little Yao.

In this game, O'Neal, who made 7 of 10 shots, scored a total of 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists with free throws.

Except for being relatively "disappointing" in rebounding...

Overall, O'Neal's outstanding performance on this night also made the "Shaq fans" dare to raise their voices a little when speaking after the game.

In recent years, due to Little Yao's increasingly strong performance on the court...

Therefore, God knows how humble the "Shark fans" lived on various basketball forums.

No way.

From the age point of view...

Because 27-year-old Little Yao was in his prime.

But 35-year-old O'Neal was already yesterday's sunset.

Plus, O'Neal's peak years in this life had always been someone's background...

So, in the words of a popular saying in the NBA in the past two years:

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Better to bully an old shark than a young man in poverty.

……

On the 4th, Su Feng ushered in his 29th birthday.

However, because on the 4th, the Heat were going to challenge the Sixers on the road, so until the Heat staff sent him a birthday cake in the small visiting team's locker room before the game, Su Feng, who had been thinking about how to eliminate those who tried to stop him from launching an impact on the three consecutive championships, realized...

In a blink of an eye, he was almost thirty years old.

Don't understand, just ask...

Is this time?

When you were a child, you would think that time passed slowly.

Because at that time, you wanted to become an adult.

And only when you really grow up will you find...

In this world, there is nothing faster than time.

Eleven years ago.

When 18-year-old Su Feng first stepped onto the NBA arena...

At that time, he was still thinking about how to earn more brick-laying points in the game.

And eleven years later...

In this game carefully arranged for Su Feng by David Stern...

When Su Feng once again stepped onto the Zhongzhou Arena...

He had already achieved fame and success.

Inside the arena, the young DJ Augustine of the Sixers' home court was brewing his emotions...

Because tonight, for Su Feng, the Sixers had a special gift for him.

"Now...

Please let us use the warmest applause and cheers to invite out the 98/99 season NBA regular season MVP!

99/00 season NBA regular season MVP...

05/06 season NBA regular season MVP...

96/97 season Best Defensive Team First Team...

98/99 season Best Team First Team...

05/06 season Best Team First Team...

05/06 season Best Defensive Team First Team...

Ten-time NBA All-Star Game Eastern Conference starter (1999 All-Star Game canceled due to labor disputes)...

NBA five-time scoring champion!

Su——————Feng!"

If every great player's honor book has countless honors...

Then Su Feng's honor book...

In the future, when he retires, even if you buy all the pages of the largest newspaper in the United States, you may not be able to finish writing it.

In the Zhongzhou Arena, after the live DJ Augustine finished his eight-minute introduction...

Nearly 20,000 fans at the scene seemed to have returned to the 1996/1997 season in that instant.

On the big screen, as Su Feng's wonderful highlights when he played in Philadelphia began to play...

At this time, in the VIP box, Pat Krause, the person in charge of the Philadelphia Sixers, also said with emotion, "A city without a hero is destined to be sad.

And a city that forgets its hero is even more sad."

In Krause's opinion...

The most regrettable thing in his life has never been trading Su Feng to the Raptors back then.

But for a long time after that, he didn't dare to face Su Feng.

"It seems that Philadelphia also wants to welcome their king back this summer." TNT TV, Barkley, who thought the Sixers' move was to recruit Su Feng, laughed.

And hearing this...

Smith, who was next to Barkley, felt that Barkley didn't understand the relationship between Krause and Su Feng at all.

"No... this is not to recruit Su.

But to formally say goodbye to him." After sighing, Smith said.

Say goodbye?

Looking at Smith, Barkley always felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

Because Barkley was all too familiar with the faces of these capitalists in this league.

Therefore, in his opinion, this absurd thing could not happen at all.

What a joke about O'Neal having 18 centimeters!

How could these businessmen do such a thankless thing?

Merchants?

emmmm...

In this cruel and ruthless league.

Indeed, for most of the time, there is no human touch at all.

But this does not mean that there is no human relationship in this league.

Inside the arena...

As Su Feng's wonderful highlights ended...

On the big screen, highlights of Yao and Iverson also appeared.

At this time, nearly 20,000 Philadelphia fans at the scene also began to shout the names of Iverson and Yao Ming.

In Pat Krause's opinion...

Although in the past two years, many Philadelphia fans have completely let go of Su Feng.

But as the person in charge of the Philadelphia front office...

He owed Su Feng a real farewell.

So tonight, taking advantage of Su Feng's 29th birthday...

Krause thought it was time to tell Su Feng...

Even if we meet today and everyone is an opponent...

But Philadelphia has not forgotten the glory he brought to this city back then.

And in New York, looking at Pat Krause, who was even better at selling his feelings than himself...

Stern immediately felt that he was still young.

Because if Stern had known that the people of Philadelphia missed Su Feng so much...

Then how could he have been so light on the hype for this game?

But don't say...

In Stern's opinion, if he had deliberately used this to hype it up...

Then maybe, there wouldn't be such an effect tonight.

"David, do you think Su will choose to return to Philadelphia this summer?" In front of the TV, Stern's assistant Martin asked with a curious look while watching Philadelphia's annual tearjerker drama "Farewell Su Feng Again."

And hearing this, Stern also gave Martin the same look that Smith gave Barkley: "No...

Don't you understand, my old friend...

Philadelphia is not trying to win over Su that's why they arranged this farewell ceremony for him.

It's just because they owe Su a formal farewell."

"Okay...

Actually, I think so too.

But David...

Are you not at all concerned about where Su will go this summer?" After a pause, Martin looked at Stern and said.

"The decision this summer is in Su's own hands.

Wherever he goes, that is his freedom." Looking at Martin, Stern smiled bitterly.

And after nodding, Martin also knew that, in fact, more than where Su Feng would go...

Recently, Stern was more concerned about...

The Lakers' future fate.

Because since Kobe's serious injury...

This wealthy family, which has always been favored by Stern, has now ushered in its darkest moment...
