Chapter 1 The Bitter Cold Wind

The bitter north wind howled, snowflakes fluttering.

Although there was no snow in Los Angeles in October.

But as the clock ticked down to zero in the final quarter of this opening game...

Looking at the scoreboard reading 94 to 124, the young LeBron James felt his heart bleeding.

An NBA custom.

The visiting team's score is always displayed before the home team's score.

And the Staples Center...

For the Lakers fans in attendance tonight...

It wasn't just them nitpicking.

But...

If Kobe could have played a few more minutes.

In their opinion, this game would have 100% become a classic in basketball history since the new millennium.

23 minutes and 24 seconds.

Because in the latter half of the third quarter tonight, the Cavaliers players gradually gave up resisting, even though Coach Lue arranged for Kobe to play the entire third quarter, Kobe's playing time didn't reach the 25 minutes the Lakers coaching staff had planned for him before the game.

But you have to say...

Coach Lue thought that playing time of 23 minutes and 24 seconds was quite meaningful.

As everyone knows, in the realm of superstition...

Especially in the sports world, many foreign athletes and coaches are very superstitious about certain laws.

Therefore, in Coach Lue's mind...

At this moment, even God was hinting to him...

That he was the man destined to coach "23+24"!

Don't ask.

Because as long as Tyronn Lue has a breath left, even the most vicious terrorists could never drag him away from Su Feng and Kobe's thighs!

However...

On the scene, just when the Lakers fans felt "how lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible"...

On the sidelines, Kobe was arguing with Su Feng about the 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists he had tonight.

"Oh, damn it!

If you could have made those two stupid shots in the third quarter, I would have had 10 assists tonight!

Also, we clearly agreed that you would pass the ball to me in the second quarter, but later...

Su, seriously, you're probably the most selfish player I've ever seen in the world."

Looking at his stats that were only three 2s away from a triple-double, the obsessive-compulsive Kobe felt uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Su Feng also pointed to his 39 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists tonight and said to Kobe: "You're criticizing me?

If it weren't for my amazing performance tonight, with your passing that's not even as good as Vince Carter's, you still want assists?

Also, if you hadn't missed four wide-open shots in a row in the third quarter, would I only be one assist away from a double-double tonight?

Also, that rebound in the third quarter, I even said to let me have it, but what about you?

You t

Oh, you're talking about Su Feng?

Sorry...

In the eyes of Su Feng's haters, the current Su Feng is just a data刷子 (shuā zi, stat padder).

So no matter how beautiful his shooting percentage is now, his stats have no value in the eyes of his haters.

"We played a very beautiful game. I think this is definitely the most wonderful basketball I've seen since the 'show.time' era.

Every one of our players deserves applause and cheers.

Oh? You said our defense in this game has improved a lot compared to last season?

Indeed, because during this offseason, I have been emphasizing defense, defense to the players.

As a result, facts have proved that under my wise leadership, this Lakers team has now made great progress in defense." At the press conference, while praising his players, Coach Lue did not forget to praise himself.

As for Jeff Van Gundy?

Ha!

In Coach Lue's view, who has always been low-key, even if Van Gundy has 1% of the credit, doesn't he have 99% of the credit?

I have to say.

Coach Lue has really figured out how to secure the head coach position of a team.

However, at the press conference, just as the entire Lakers team was immersed in the joy of a successful start, Su Feng poured cold water on them and said: "I don't think that winning this game means that we are stronger than last season.

In the NBA, there are 82 games in a season.

We did have a good start, but defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers, in my opinion, is not something to be proud of."

Spread it!

Spread it for me!

Emperor Feng said the Cavaliers are trash, and there is nothing to celebrate!

(Su Feng: Which eye of yours saw me say that?)

To be fair.

Just from the process of this game, the places where the Lakers can improve, in Su Feng's view, there aren't ten, but at least fifty-eight.

In addition, the Lakers were able to win by 30 points in this game against the Cavaliers because this Lakers' style is very restraining against the Cavaliers.

Although in recent years, the Cavaliers have hoarded a lot of shooters for James.

But with Mike Brown's offensive level being comparable to Van Gundy's...

If you expect him to understand the Cavaliers' offense, then in Su Feng's view, you might as well expect Nash to be able to defend Iverson one-on-one.

In his previous life, history had already told people that the most suitable position for Brown was assistant coach.

Because in the NBA, the head coach is more like a decision-maker who needs to be good at listening to other people's suggestions and kneading and integrating them together.

For example, Coach Lue, who is frantically exploiting the韭菜 (jiǔ cài,韭菜 is chives, and in this context refers to people who are exploited for their resources) planted by Van Gundy this season.

In comparison, Brown, a student who is both unable to suppress the star players and prone to panic on the spot...

The only good thing about letting him be the head coach is that he won't like to shirk responsibility like the other Brown.

Online, it is foreseeable that Brown's family has already been greeted by angry Cavaliers fans.

And this honest-looking little chubby man didn't dare to speak loudly at the post-match press conference.

After all, from a humble background...

How dare he pass the buck to James, who is currently waiting for Su Feng and Kobe with O'Neal in the parking lot?

No way.

This is the alliance of superstars.

You lament that there are too few famous coaches in the NBA.

But in reality...

The job of an NBA head coach is not something that ordinary people can do.

……

"Wait, when did you make plans with Shaq and LeBron? How come I don't know?" After the game, Kobe asked, looking at Su Feng, who was walking out of the shower with Da Ben.

Hearing this, Su Feng spread his hands to Kobe, "We made plans online yesterday."

Kobe was shocked, "Then why did you tell me in the game that you had prepared a special pizza for me tonight?"

Su Feng was speechless, "Kobe, you're already 30 years old this year, can you be a little more mature? You even believe such obvious lies?"

Kobe: "......."

Good lord!

Now you're even lying to me so blatantly?

Su Feng: What do you know? This is called "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" Didn't you just find out that Americans tell you their conspiracy loudly?

"Where are you guys planning to have a late-night snack?" Kobe asked, defeated by Su Feng's confidence.

"Of course, it's 'Blaze Pizza'!" Su Feng replied.

Kobe: "......."

Holy crap!

Isn't that the pizza shop I opened?

So, this means...

You're using my store to do me a favor, and I'm the last one to know?

Kobe was angry!

But in his rage, he was indeed a little hungry, and in the end, he couldn't resist the hunger.

Because normal humans generally feel sleepy after eating, so in the NBA, most players eat 3 to 4 hours before the start of the game.

Then in the game, basically, if everyone is hungry, they will choose to eat bananas. (Note 1)

So after the game, hunger is a normal phenomenon for NBA players who consume a lot of energy.

Of course...

Su Feng, who knew Kobe inside and out, knew...

The reason why this guy agreed to go out for a late-night snack...

It was purely because he wanted to stand in front of James and O'Neal in the posture of a victor to show off tonight.

Although Su Feng had no real evidence to prove that Kobe had animosity towards these two...

But not to mention the grievances between O'Neal and Kobe...

Just based on the player rankings that ESPN released this year...

If you say Kobe doesn't want to stand in front of James as a victor, Su Feng wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

Huh?

You ask why Su Feng knows Kobe's personality so well?

Hey...

Because if it were Su Feng, Su Feng would definitely be eager to take a stroll in front of James and O'Neal.

Oh!

Look!

Isn't that my lovely younger brother LeBron, and younger brother Shaq, who once carried me?

Why have you two become so weak in just a few days?

In the underground parking lot of the Staples Center...

Honestly, James and O'Neal were already beginning to regret why they agreed to have a late-night snack with Su Feng.

Because as soon as they met, Su Feng said to the two of them: "Hey, guys, can you cheer up?

Forget about that damn game!

It won't be too late to be sad when you get back to Cleveland!"

James, O'Neal: "......."

"Listen to me, gentlemen, you are about to taste the best pizza in all of Los Angeles.

So you better listen to Su and forget about that damn game.

Although I can't understand how you feel after losing the game, you can also see that as the victor, I am not particularly happy about it at the moment."

Aside, after kicking Su Feng, who wanted to grab the driver's seat, into the passenger seat and fastening his seat belt, Kobe turned around and looked at James and O'Neal and said this.

James, O'Neal: "......."

Alright.

Now James finally understands why O'Neal is great.

Because being able to be teammates with Kobe and Su Feng one after another without being driven to death...

Isn't that enough to highlight O'Neal's greatness?

Fortunately, O'Neal found a chance to win back a round, "Su's driving skills are still as bad as ever, right?"

Kobe nodded and replied: "So when I go out with him, I never let him drive."

Su Feng: "......."

"Then what about when he goes out with his family?" James asked, leaning his head forward from the back seat.

Aside, Su Feng waved his hand to interrupt Kobe, who was about to answer James' question, and turned to James and said, "LeBron, honestly, if you were to score your performance tonight, how many points would you give it?"

James: "......."

Hey!

Didn't you just say to let us forget about this damn game?

Why are you asking me about my feelings about this game now?

Helpless.

If someone else asked him this question, maybe James would directly refuse to answer.

But who made Su Feng have such a special place in his heart?

Therefore, after pondering for two seconds, James was really preparing to seriously answer Su Feng's question.

Only...

Before he could speak, Su Feng said to him: "In my opinion, you already deserve the title of the best active player besides me."

Kobe: "???"

James: "!!!"

O'Neal: Oh? Is there a show to watch?

"You may not feel it yourself.

But as an opponent, do you know how much effort we put into limiting you in this game?

Anyway, in my opinion, even when I played against the Lakers in the Finals back then, I wasn't as troubled as I was tonight." After a pause, Su Feng continued.

Kobe, O'Neal: "?"

James nodded, "Actually, Su, I think so too."

Kobe, O'Neal: "?"

"Oh?" Turning his head to look at James and the angry Kobe and O'Neal, Su Feng laughed.

"Although I know you are exaggerating in some descriptions.

But in my opinion, in this game, you guys really limited me and made me feel very uncomfortable." Feeling the pressure of "OK" (Kobe and O'Neal), James hurriedly pulled out "Emotional Intelligence" and said.

Hearing this, Su Feng also said to James with a serious face: "But LeBron, do you know what your biggest problem is now?"

James nodded and said, "Shooting, and also post play."

"Look, this is why I like chatting with you.

Because you never fail to recognize your own flaws like some people," Su Feng laughed.

Just then...

Because Kobe suddenly stepped on the accelerator angrily, in the back seat, O'Neal's heart almost flew out of the window with it.

"Kobe, you have to know that there are four millionaires sitting in your car at the moment." After wiping the sweat from his forehead, O'Neal reminded Kobe.

Hearing this, Kobe also gave Su Feng a look that said, "You just wait."

It's a pity...

Kobe still couldn't bear to hit Su Feng in the end.

Because after the four of them arrived at the location of "Blaze Pizza," the waiter immediately brought Kobe the 'Kobe-Bryant Special Pizza' that Su Feng had prepared in advance and sent here to keep warm.

And James also happened to get the taco that Su Feng personally made for him, and giggled on the side.

"Uh, Su, tonight I won't be the only one who needs to order, right?" In the VIP box of Blaze Pizza, looking at Su Feng, O'Neal asked with a little bit of despair.

"Oh, sorry, Shaq, because after making the pizza for Kobe, my oven at home just..."

Okay, stop explaining, Brother Feng!

I know...

I've always known.

My status in your heart is just that little bit...

So...

"Oh, these damn doughnuts!"

On the table, looking at the donuts that the waiter then brought up, O'Neal, who was just sad the previous second, suddenly felt Su Feng's... that long-lost love for him!

"Just kidding with you, Shaq.

How could I forget you?" Looking at O'Neal, Su Feng laughed.

At this time, Kobe, who was gobbling it up, couldn't help but ask: "Then what about you, Su? You wouldn't just prepare it for us, right?"

Seeing this, James, who had the highest emotional intelligence, hurriedly handed two of the six tacos on his table to Su Feng, and O'Neal and Kobe also shared some of their pizza and doughnuts with Su Feng.

"Look, don't I have you guys?" Su Feng smiled at Kobe, O'Neal, and James.

Maybe, before this late-night snack started, everyone's joys and sorrows were not the same.

But after the late-night snack, James and O'Neal found that...

It seems like they weren't that sad anymore.

Therefore, if the NBA wants to elect the leader of the gang in the future.

Don't ask everyone why they would vote for Su Feng.

In short...

Brother Feng is awesome!

"Come on, LeBron, I believe the future must be yours." Before leaving, patting James on the shoulder, Su Feng did not forget to encourage him.

Just...

Regarding Su Feng's "blessing"...

James always felt that Su Feng might still be at his peak when he retires in the future...

Therefore...

In this era ruled by Su Feng, if you don't seize the present, will there really be a future?

Evening of the 30th.

One day later, in Atlanta, Dwyane Wade used his actual actions to give the world the answer.

On the court, as soon as the game started, Wade puffed up his cheeks and said fiercely to Su Feng: "Tonight, if you can score more than 100 points under my defense, then I will immediately switch careers to become a cleaner!"

At this year's Beijing Olympic Games.

Ray Allen once taught the 03 generation a trick to defend Su Feng.

That is, to defend Su Feng, you have to keep praising him to interfere with his game state.

However, regarding Ray Allen's unfounded statement, Wade retorted at the time: "Once we are on the court, we are opponents. There is absolutely no way I will use this method to defend Su!

Even if it really works, in my opinion, it is a cowardly act!"

Aside, looking at the murderous Wade, Anthony and James also very much agreed with Wade's view at the time.

But...

Where could these people have imagined...

That it has only been a few months, and Wade took the lead in 真香 (zhēn xiāng, means "It smells so good," and is used ironically to describe someone going back on their word after initially expressing disgust or disbelief).

"I know this ball will definitely go in! But I will still do my best to defend you! Because in my mind, you are the greatest star on this planet! Come on!"

On the court, after saying the most cowardly words in the fiercest tone, Wade soon found that...

Su Feng seemed to be really a little bit affected.

Holy crap!

Why don't these young people play cards according to the rules!

Hey!

You are praising me like this, and you are praising me a little bit embarrassed, Dwyane!

"Eh, did this ball miss?

But even if you occasionally miss a ball, I will never let my guard down against you in the future!

Come on, the greatest star in this universe! Tonight, I will definitely try my best to catch up with your pace!"

On the court, after Su Feng missed two shots in a row at the start, Wade continued to praise Su Feng with greater effort.

Heh?

Face?

Future?

What a f*cking international joke!

In this era ruled by Su Feng and Kobe...

Wade didn't dare to be stubborn!

Because if you don't seize the present...

Then you can't have a future at all!
