Chapter 1 Defeating Greece

Having successfully led the Chinese men's basketball team to the finals of this World Championship, Su Feng once again sparked a wave of discussions in the public about whether he was already the number one player in the history of world basketball.

Unlike the blessings he received from the NBA's 50 greatest players when he won four consecutive regular season MVP awards,

Because in the history of world basketball, many famous European stars have not gone to the NBA to play, so for some traditional European basketball powers, they do not recognize that the NBA's number one is necessarily the world's number one.

However, with the Chinese men's basketball team entering the World Championship finals again this year...

Especially as more and more mainstream European basketball media began to use the term "Chinese Dynasty" to praise Su Feng and the team he led when reporting on the Chinese men's basketball team...

On the evening of September 3, while doing a preview prediction for the finals for Serbian National Television, the former European King Bodiroga commented on Su Feng: "Whether in the NBA or FIBA, Su has proven to the world that he is number one in history."

And coincidentally.

That day, an Italian Sky TV basketball commentator, when giving a close-up shot of Su Feng, also said: "Although he is only 28 years old this year, Su is just like his nickname 'Phenomenon'.

For basketball, he is a 'Phenomenon'."

Saitama Super Arena.

Three full days have passed since the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Greece in the semi-finals.

And tonight...

It will undoubtedly be a very special night for the history of world basketball.

Because, quoting the comments of major mainstream media:

As long as His Majesty the King can lead the team to defeat Spain in the last game of this World Championship...

Then tonight, in addition to being the final day of this Men's Basketball World Championship...

At the same time, it will also be the coronation day for His Majesty the King to be officially crowned the King of World Basketball.

Although the 28-year-old Su Feng still needs to lead the Heat to achieve a three-peat next season to completely shut up those Feng haters who are still questioning him...

But, based on Su Feng's recent form...

May I ask, besides those Feng haters, who would think that His Majesty the King will encounter Waterloo in the NBA next season?

"Frankly speaking.

Although many fans are very worried about the accidents that happened when the Heat renewed their contracts this summer...

However, after successfully renewing the contract with Shaq...

I don't think any team can challenge the Heat, which is determined to win three consecutive championships." As early as mid-August this year, Charles Barkley, one of the NBA's top 50 superstars, made a prediction about the upcoming 06/07 season.

And even if Barkley's predictions have always been poisonous...

This time, the vast majority of fans also think he is right.

Because the peak Su Feng...

Only has the theoretical possibility of being defeated by you.

7 p.m. on the 3rd.

After finishing the warm-up...

On the court, looking at the guy who had written countless legendary stories in the history of world basketball in the past decade...

Paul Gasol, the leader of the Spanish men's basketball team, admitted.

Even when playing under Van Gundy, he had never felt as desperate as he did tonight.

After the semi-finals, the Greek men's basketball coach Yannakis's comment "It's easy to shake European basketball and American basketball, but it's hard to shake Su" was still in his ears...

Gasol knew.

Tonight, only by fighting to the death can the Spanish men's basketball team have a chance of survival.

But on the court, before Gasol could deliver his carefully prepared pre-war declaration...

His stupid brother Marc Gasol had already run up to Su Feng.

"Su, I've liked you for six full years. Can you please sign my 'Phenomenon IX'?" On the Chinese men's basketball team's bench, taking advantage of the gap after the warm-up, Little Gasol said to Su Feng, holding a pair of red and white Phenomenon series shoes in his hand.

Hearing this, Su Feng not only satisfied Little Gasol's request, but he also gave Little Gasol an extra group photo.

Uh...

To be fair.

If viewed from the perspective of those keyboard warriors in Rabbit Country who always like to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others...

Little Gasol's behavior before the game is no different from colluding with the enemy.

But on the scene, when the close-up lens captured this scene, the commentator of Spanish National Television complained: "Marc really needs to lose weight.

Look, when he took a photo with Su, even though the Spanish men's basketball team specially prepared an extra-large jersey for him in this World Championship, it couldn't stop the赘肉 on his stomach."

Compared with the Little Gasol who became the best defensive player in the NBA in the future...

At this time, Little Gasol can be said to be a stinky younger brother.

In Su Feng's original timeline, if it hadn't been for the prestige that Big Gasol had built in the NBA, then let alone being selected at the end of the second round...

I'm afraid that even if Little Gasol was willing to come to the CBA to make money, the CBA teams would not look down on him.

There is a particularly interesting story about the brothers Paul and Marc.

That is, when Little Gasol reached the age to automatically participate in the draft, in order to ensure that his unlucky brother would have food to eat in the future, Gasol had repeatedly told the American media in interviews how excellent his brother was.

However, after the NBA scouts went to Europe to observe a few of Little Gasol's games...

At that time, they all believed that they had been fooled by Gasol.

Because before completing weight loss...

Little Gasol's body shape...

You can probably understand it as being as fat as two Jokic.

Even before the start of this World Championship, domestic public opinion in Spain believed that if it weren't for Gasol's good brother, Little Gasol would not be qualified to be selected for this Spanish men's basketball team.

However, the story that happened to Little Gasol later proved to the world...

Gasol did not lie back then.

Many years later, when many conspiracy theorists reviewed the Lakers and Grizzlies' trade about Gasol...

These people generally believe that the reason why the Lakers wasted a second-round pick to select Little Gasol in 2007 was because they wanted to befriend Gasol in advance.

And because in this trade between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, more and more evidence will prove that this is a premeditated transaction in the future...

Therefore, after this group of conspiracy theorists sorted out the interesting story between Big Gasol and Little Gasol according to the timeline...

Don't say...

This view is really tenable.

In 2007, under the whip of Big Gasol, Little Gasol officially began his legendary weight loss story like Haslem.

Subsequently, in June of that year, because Little Gasol reached the age to automatically participate in the draft, and also in order to reshape the Lakers' former glory, the Lakers also deliberately chose him with their second-round pick in the 2007 draft.

As everyone knows.

For the NBA, 2007 was an extremely critical year.

Because Auerbach passed away due to heart disease in October of the previous year, the former Celtics legends had already formulated a grand plan in advance at Auerbach's funeral.

Looking at all the Celtics' trades in the summer of 2007, it is not difficult to find that...

Even without Garnett, without Pierce, without Ray Allen...

The Celtics would definitely have made a gamble that summer.

Because Auerbach's students needed to use a championship to comfort Auerbach's spirit in heaven.

Therefore, whether in the Garnett or Ray Allen trade...

The Celtics at that time had never considered the word future.

And at the same time...

It seemed like fate.

Because he was slightly ahead of Jeanie Buss in the battle for the throne...

The Pro-Kobe faction, led by Jim Buss, Kupchak and others, also secretly completed a trade with Logo Man that Lakers fans did not dare to imagine in advance.

But, judging from the results afterwards...

This trade, which was considered a robbery by many people at the time, cannot be said to have been a loss for the Grizzlies.

So the question is...

Were the Grizzlies' management really as brain-dead as the fans said, standing there and being robbed by the Lakers?

Of course not.

And those who can say this kind of thing must not know how close the relationship between the Grizzlies and the Lakers is.

In fact, after those scouts who were fooled by Big Gasol to go to Europe to watch Little Gasol play gradually returned to the United States, in order to take into account the face of Gasol, who was still the boss of the Grizzlies at the time, the Grizzlies had been sending scouts to investigate Little Gasol, who was playing for Barcelona at the time.

And when the Grizzlies' scouts were surprised to find that...

Little Gasol had not only reduced his weight to 120 kilograms within a year, but he was also far more threatening on the defensive end than his old brother...

A detailed file about Little Gasol, which only the Grizzlies' coaching staff possessed, had already been placed on the Grizzlies' general manager's desk before the trade between the Grizzlies and the Lakers was completed later.

In short, there are not so many coincidences in this world.

The Grizzlies' management has never been stupid.

On the one hand, because they have been unable to break through the first round for many years, the Grizzlies' management, who felt that they had let down the local fans in Memphis, had already had the idea of wanting to rebuild.

On the other hand, based on the Grizzlies and Lakers' friendship, which can be described as wearing each other's underwear...

Instead of saying that the Grizzlies were robbed by the Lakers...

It is better to say that the Grizzlies did the Lakers a favor and personally directed the script that Stern did not dare to imagine in the year after Auerbach's death.

In the NBA, how can there be a more classic matchup than the Lakers-Celtics battle?

Especially after Auerbach's death...

The year that the Celtics desperately wanted to use a championship to comfort Auerbach's spirit in heaven.

To be fair, okay...

Even if you let Stern personally hold the pen, he probably would not be able to write such a grand and magnificent story.

It's just that in this life...

Due to the appearance of someone...

The butterfly has already quietly flapped its wings.

"You have to lose weight, Marc. Come on, I'm waiting for you in the NBA."

That night, patting Little Gasol on the back, as the friendly and loving senior in the minds of all the new generation of NBA players, Su Feng at this time did not know what kind of effect his unintentional words would have in the coming year.

"Brother, do you know, Su...

Su actually said to me that he is waiting for me in the NBA!" On the Spanish men's basketball team's bench, holding the Phenomenon IX that Su Feng had just signed for himself, Little Gasol looked at his handsome old brother with an excited expression.

Hearing this, Big Gasol already didn't know what to say to Little Gasol...

Because in the eyes of the always pragmatic Big Gasol, Su Feng was just being polite to you, a little fan...

You as you are now?

Playing in the NBA?

Don't be kidding.

Saitama Super Arena.

As the big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups of the two sides tonight, in the earth-shattering cheers of nearly 20,000 Chinese fans in the stadium, the sporadic cheers of the Spanish fans on the scene had already been drowned in a red wave.

Chinese Men's Basketball Team: Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Zhang Jingsong, Su Feng.

Spanish Men's Basketball Team: Big Gasol, Garbajosa, Jiménez, Navarro, Calderón.

In the center of the court, Yao Ming and Big Gasol are responsible for the jump ball to start the game.

The result is without suspense.

In this World Championship, Little Yao has jumped for the Chinese men's basketball team for the first attack in nine consecutive games.

And here, a picture of Su Feng @ Ben Wallace should also be inserted. jpg.

The Spanish men's basketball team, which had done its homework before the game, defended well as soon as they came up tonight.

In Su Feng's previous life, because Gasol was often used as a background board by some talent monsters, many people thought that Gasol's defense was not good.

But in fact...

Gasol's defense is definitely better than most players in the NBA who look fierce.

Moreover, when defending, if Gasol hadn't always been able to help defend in place, how could he have the opportunity to be a background board?

Compared to absolute strength, Gasol is indeed much weaker than Little Yao.

But in this ball, through the tacit understanding of standing with his teammates, Gasol successfully prevented Little Yao from receiving the ball by going around in front.

The reason why the Spanish men's basketball team aroused Su Feng's vigilance in the warm-up match before

was because Spain at this time was one of the few teams that could compete with the Chinese men's basketball team on the inside.

Of course, you can understand this sentence the other way around.

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team was able to almost defeat Spain was because the Chinese men's basketball team's inside group, led by Little Yao, was not afraid of this Spanish team.

In short, on the international arena, Little Yao and Big Gasol can be said to be evenly matched opponents.

However, unlike the Chinese men's basketball team in Su Feng's memory...

The thickest thigh in this Chinese men's basketball team now...

Is Su Feng.

High position, seeing that Little Yao did not have a good opportunity to receive the ball for a while, Su Feng immediately turned his back and used his huge butt to directly block Calderón.

Then...

There is no then.

Because unlike toothpicks, which are toothpicks no matter how big they are...

Su Feng's ass...

How could Calderón's body, comparable to Nash's, endure it?

"I have never seen such a shameless person!" In front of the TV, watching Su Feng constantly drive Calderón inwards, Kobe was completely convinced.

For Kobe, who has always liked to find strong people to duel...

At this moment, Su Feng is simply the most shameless person in this world!

And Oakland...

Nash, who had finally managed to get out of the self-enclosed room, also chose to turn off the TV at this moment.

Because even though it has been almost three months...

Nash could not forget...

The scene of Su Feng and his teammates pouncing on his delicate body like wolves and tigers in the finals.

Shua!

Inside, after arching all the way until the other cabbage players in Spain finally came to help defend himself, Su Feng gently twisted, then sent the ball like picking cabbage in his own field, and took the opening two points of this final for the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Brother Feng... Paul has already gone over to help defend just now. Wouldn't it be better if you passed the ball to me?" On the court, unlike the Chinese fans in front of the TV and on the scene who were shouting Brother Feng is awesome...

Obviously...

This Little Yao...

Has already forgotten how cold the bottom of the Huangpu River is.

"But obviously, I was also open just now." Looking up at Little Yao, Su Feng smiled.

Hearing this, Little Yao was stunned on the spot.

"Brother Feng, are you sure you weren't being double-teamed just now?" Little Yao asked back.

"Double-team? Hmm... Obviously, for you, if you encounter two people, it is indeed a double-team.

But for me, even if all five people on the opposite side come to defend me, it is still an open position!" Patting Little Yao on the back, Su Feng said.

Yao Ming: "..."

Damn it!

Look at Su Feng's bragging...

He is not only confident.

But also justified and well-founded!

At this moment, Little Yao, who has always been well-read in Emotional Intelligence, knows that his ambition has been known by Brother Feng.

So, after smiling awkwardly at Su Feng, Little Yao lowered his head and said to Su Feng: "That's indeed the case.

After all...

My Brother Feng is invincible!"

And this time...

Su Feng, who was still quite happy at first...

Suddenly felt that this stadium was like turning the air conditioner on to zero degrees.

Cold.

Seriously...

Now talking to this Little Yao...

Even Su Feng doesn't know whether he is being sarcastic to himself or sincerely praising himself.

"Brother Feng, we will win tonight, right." On the court, looking at the Spanish men's basketball team that was about to attack, in order to avoid Su Feng worrying that he was just being sarcastic to him, Little Yao also continued.

"Take away the word 'will'.

Obviously...

We will definitely win tonight." And after nodding to Little Yao...

At this moment, Su Feng also threw away the caution he usually used to disguise himself.

Because this battle!

Only victory is allowed!
