Silently Writing
Chapter 663 Madness Incited by Feng! This is Feng Kuang!
Dawn quietly streaking across the horizon.
At the American Airlines Arena, after four quarters of fierce battle, the Miami Heat successfully defended their home court with an 85-84 victory on this "Banner Night."
On the court, after this opening game, Su Feng realized he had underestimated the Celtics' determination.
Judging by the rhythm of this game alone, the Celtics weren't limiting the Heat's offense by dragging them into a half-court grind.
Throughout the game, the Heat attempted a total of 94 shots.
However, under the Celtics' tight defense, they only managed to make 28 field goals.
The perimeter defense, consisting of the two Allens, spared no effort in double-teaming Su Feng throughout the game.
Because O'Neal was still losing weight, Mike Miller was as ruthless as possible when arranging players to double-team Su Feng.
Without a doubt.
The defensive intensity and physical contact in this game were definitely among the top three of all the games Su Feng had participated in in recent years.
In this game, the Heat, with the advantage of home court, wouldn't have avoided a crushing defeat if they hadn't played equally high-quality defense...
In this opening game, because he was constantly fighting with Celtics players on both ends of the court, Su Feng only made 12 of his 39 shots.
However, Barkley gave Su Feng a very high evaluation when summarizing the game afterward.
"That's the most domineering part of how Su plays.
If Michael Jordan had faced the kind of defense he faced tonight, he might have passed the ball to his teammates a long time ago.
But in a game like tonight, where you have to step up as the team leader, we can see that Su didn't choose to shirk responsibility!"
Jordan: You two-faced Flying Pig!
Are you saying that when I pass the ball, it's shirking responsibility, but when Su Feng shoots with two or three guys on him, it's reasonable?
And, the way you say it, it's as if I never fought my way through four guys on the court back in the day...
Uh...
To be fair.
Tonight, Barkley wasn't really trying to excuse Su Feng's shooting percentage.
It's just that in this game, because the players of both teams were busy stabbing each other in the kidneys...
So, by the fourth quarter, most of the players on both teams were clearly afraid to receive the ball, except for Su Feng and Duncan.
Okay...
Maybe at this time, some brain-dead fans will say that this is because Su Feng and Duncan's teammates are all CBA players.
But...
If Wallace, Ray Allen, Parker, Ginobili, and Rondo were all CBA teammates...
Wouldn't that mean the CBA's level would be through the roof?
The bottom line is, the reason why only Duncan and Su Feng dared to shoot in the fourth quarter was precisely because the players on both teams didn't want to lose this opening game.
And coincidentally, Duncan, who scored 16 points for the Celtics in the fourth quarter, scored one point less than Su Feng in that quarter.
Although Su Feng finally "got his wish" with his shooting percentage on this night...
Ugh!
Although Su Feng's shooting percentage was somewhat unsatisfactory on this night, he made three of his four three-pointers in the most crucial fourth quarter for the Heat.
As the saying goes, everything must be viewed from two perspectives.
If it were normal, Su Feng making three three-pointers in a single quarter would be as easy as drinking water.
But on this night...
When the two teams were locked in a stalemate...
Who knows how much psychological pressure Su Feng's three three-pointers put on the Celtics on the court at that time?
Su Feng knew that as the new season progressed, this Celtics team would only become more difficult to deal with.
Clearly.
A new storm has arrived.
If they stagnate, then the Heat's goal of launching an attack on a three-peat this season will undoubtedly become a laughing stock in the future.
...
On the 2nd, after the Heat and Celtics' fierce opening game, because of the amount of information contained in the speech that someone gave before the game...
As a result, few fans in the world actually paid attention to the process of this opening game.
Online, because Su Feng had already announced that he would opt out of his "4+1" contract with the Heat in the summer of 2007 and become a free agent, many fans began to discuss where Su Feng would choose to go next.
And at times like this, the New York fans, who are sure to stand up and help, even came up with a complete plan for Dolan to recruit Su Feng overnight.
First, clear cap space.
Because Dolan, as the "number one philanthropist in the NBA," has raised many players in recent years who earn a lot of money but don't do anything, the Knicks can even use their most valuable draft picks to clear cap space when necessary.
Secondly, have the "Smiling Assassin" Thomas, who is a Su Feng fan, continue to increase his public praise of Su Feng.
In order to win the favor of Emperor Feng.
Finally, find a way to fire "Fake Zen Master" Phil Jackson and then hire "Real Zen Master" John Davis to coach.
However, online, after seeing the New York fans' naive ideas...
Fans of other teams mocked the New York fans at the first moment, saying:
You really don't treat your boss Dolan as a human being?
Not to mention your two points of clearing cap space and letting Thomas win Su Feng's favor for the Knicks through praise...
Just Jackson's sky-high contract that he just signed, worth over ten million a year for five years...
Fire him just like that?
Are you saying you don't have to pay the liquidated damages?
Knicks fans: Just pay it, isn't it just tens of millions of dollars, would Dolan, that hateful capitalist, lack that little bit of money?
Dolan: "..."
Of course, online, some fans reminded the Knicks fans.
Su Feng just finished praising Phil Jackson at this summer's World Championships.
Therefore, why didn't you guys ever imagine Su Feng playing under Jackson?
Knicks fans: Huh? There's such a thing?
Cough.
As everyone knows, in the Knicks fan base in the United States, in addition to a large number of bandwagon fans, there are also a large number of people who don't care about what happens to the United States at all.
Because for New Yorkers who are used to being arrogant...
Outside of New York, even Los Angeles is a country town in their eyes.
In Su Feng's original timeline, a famous up-loader from New York in the future popularized the inherent arrogance and prejudice of New Yorkers to the rabbits from the side.
And in the world, after Su Feng officially announced his "Decision Two" to the world, the only ones who couldn't sleep this night were not just New York fans.
"Mitch! Do you think we have a chance to get Su to Los Angeles next summer?" Looking at the Lakers' general manager Kupchak, Jim Buss had completely gone crazy that day.
As the number one brain-dead fan of the Laul Merion Twin Stars...
In recent years, even when going to the bathroom, Jim Buss has been fantasizing about Su Feng and Kobe joining forces again in his mind.
Hearing this, Kupchak, looking at the excited Little Buss, also remembered a passage that the Logo Man, who was also his mentor and friend, had once said to him.
In this league, the more you encounter big things, the more you can't be impatient and flustered.
"Jim, the regular season has just started...
I don't think Su has made a decision on where he will go.
So, rather than being as eager as the Knicks to hope that Su can join...
We need to do our own thing first." Patting Little Buss on the shoulder, Kupchak said to him earnestly.
Undoubtedly.
Although the 06/07 NBA regular season has just begun...
But for many teams...
A contest concerning their future has already unfolded invisibly.
Portland.
Paul Allen, who had just assembled a luxurious battleship, also brought the Blazers' management team that night to ask them about the possibility of Su Feng joining the Blazers in the summer of 07.
"That's probably only possible through a trade.
But even in this trade, we have to send Kevin and Chris to Miami...
I think we are also the ones who are making a profit in this trade."
Because in recent years, the Blazers have been contributing to the league's revenue...
Therefore, in the eyes of the Blazers' team, the Blazers, who are determined to break out of the West in the new season, can only bring Su Feng to the Rose Garden Arena through a trade next summer.
"Paul (Pierce) is Su's die-hard fan.
He will definitely be willing to be Su's Scottie Pippen." That night, looking at Paul Allen, the Blazers' team gave their bold idea about recruiting Su Feng in the summer of 07.
And after thinking carefully in his mind, Paul Allen said, "If we still can't win the championship this year, then let's do it!"
What Kevin Garnett!
What Chris Paul!
If they can bring the guy called the God of Basketball to Portland...
Then in Paul Allen's eyes, he would be willing to add another Pierce to him.
It's just...
I just don't know, if this trade really goes through, will Garnett, who has finally raised the banner of rebellion in Portland, cry in the toilet?
The implication is...
The "rebel army" that I worked so hard to build...
Once the king comes, you will take my head to exchange for the king's surrender?
And among the many teams who want to win Su Feng's favor...
Seattle, which has been having bad luck in recent years, also received good news.
That is, the local government of Seattle finally agreed to the request to build a new stadium for the Supersonics.
However...
The Supersonics must win this battle for Su Feng in 07.
And originally, because he had been unable to reach an agreement with the local government of Seattle, and it was useless to cry to Stern, the Supersonics boss, Schultz, who had the idea of selling the team, also hurriedly interrupted the negotiations with Bennett, the local tyrant of Oklahoma City. (Note 1)
Schultz is not stupid.
He knows that as long as the Supersonics can have a brand-new stadium, coupled with Su Feng's joining...
Then the team's market value will inevitably skyrocket several times overnight.
And for businessmen...
Even if there is only a 10% possibility that he can earn several times more money, he is willing to pay all his life for it.
So that night, Su Feng, who was still worried about his three-peat...
How could he know that, invisibly, he had once again affected the future structure of the league?
"Liars! Seattle people are all liars!"
And originally, Bennett, who should have been cursed by all Seattle people to have no butthole if he has a son...
In this life, he also cursed the Seattle people as a victim.
Look...
In order to recruit Su Feng...
Now half the league has become a mess.
Especially those teams who think they are sure to get Su Feng.
In order to free up cap space...
The scene where the managers of each team were communicating by phone these two days was mostly:
"We have a player on our team who can average 20 points per game, how about we add a draft pick to you, would you be willing to take him?"
"Huh? Like this, I'll give you two more draft picks, I have two players here who can average 15 points per game, why don't you take them all?"
You might not believe it if I told you.
These two days, even the Phoenix Suns have been thinking about giving McGrady to the Bucks for nothing.
"Su Feng has said more than once that his idol is Grant Hill...
So if Grant can come forward...
Then we can try to carry out this trade!"
What is the meaning of "everything is grass under Emperor Feng"?
06/07 season.
Not to mention those small stars with annual salaries of just over ten million...
Even super stars like McGrady who have already proven themselves...
In the face of Su Feng's temptation, it is not worth mentioning!
Fire sale!
Fire sale!
Or even a damn fire sale!
As long as you are willing to take over the salary burden in my team, then even if the requirements you put forward are unreasonable, I am willing to gamble this time for Su Feng!
And for those small teams who were originally thinking about how to rebuild and had sufficient cap space...
How could they have imagined...
That their road to reconstruction would be so easy and pleasant?
Thank you "God of Basketball"!
Look, what is "robbing the rich and helping the poor"?
This is called "robbing the rich and helping the poor"!
...
Okay, because there is still some time before Su Feng's final choice, so let's put it aside for now.
In November, as Su Feng and Riley had expected, after winning the opening game, the Heat did encounter a lot of trouble in the first month of the new season.
Before, in order to play against the Celtics and defend the banner night, the playing time of players such as Ginobili and Ariza exceeded 35 minutes.
But if the Heat play like they did against the Celtics every night, then their plan to complete the internal digging of potential before the end of the regular season will be impossible.
Therefore, in the following games in November, except for Su Feng, who still played more than 40 minutes per game, on the premise that Mourning and Payton were still recovering from injuries and O'Neal was still losing weight, the Heat took the initiative to start a large-scale rotation of personnel.
In addition, because the Heat's training volume in the entire November was less than that of other teams, most players on the court performed like gods one game and ghosts the next, except for Su Feng.
As a result, the Heat's number of losses in the first month of the new season had already caught up with last season.
At this time, ESPN, as a die-hard Heat fan, also wavered when formulating the new list of team combat power.
Because of the Heat's performance of 10 wins and 6 losses at the start...
If ESPN puts the Heat in first place again, who should the Celtics, who lead the East with 14 wins and 2 losses, and the Blazers, who lead the West with 13 wins and 3 losses, go to for reasoning?
But thinking of Emperor Feng and his Heat's attribute of only slapping people in the face...
On December 1, in the latest power rankings, ESPN still firmly placed the Heat in the first position.
And the reason it gave was:
The power rankings cannot be judged solely based on the team's regular season record.
Look...
What is called double standard?
This is the real double standard!
Because they were afraid of being slapped in the face, ESPN didn't even want its face this time.
But it seems...
Not many foreign media outlets want face either.
And unlike ESPN...
In the first monthly best player announced by the NBA official on December 1...
As Su Feng guessed.
After his four consecutive NBA regular season MVPs...
Stern was really going to start his new star-making plan.
In December, James, who averaged 30.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists, was successfully elected as the Eastern Conference's first monthly best player of the new season.
Currently, the Cavaliers rank second in the Eastern Conference standings with 12 wins and 3 losses.
Looking at the record alone, Duncan is better.
But as Emperor Feng's successor, because Lao Dengtou's "Emperor Feng's life-long enemy" persona has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Xiao Zhanzhan won more judges' "favor" in the final selection.
And in the West, Garnett, who has always appeared in people's vision as a ten-thousand-year-old second place in various selections, has also ushered in his highlight moment.
In November, as the light of Portland, Garnett was elected as the Western Conference's first monthly best player with a "20+10+5+2+2" data.
Although Garnett at this time does not know that in Paul Allen's heart, he is only worthy of being one of the chips to trade for Su Feng...
But this does not prevent...
Garnett, who recruited Pierce for the Trail Blazers, from pounding his chest, stomping his feet, and roaring at the sky in November!
In the Northwest, the banner of rebellion is raised high.
In the East, a new star is shining.
And as Su Feng's old opponent and best friend...
Kobe encountered a Waterloo at the beginning of the new season...
