Chapter 1 The Bulls Fans' Confusion

At the United Center, the Bulls fans felt like the two teams had swapped jerseys tonight.

Was this a case of fighting fire with fire?

Could it be that...

They were the legendary Gusu 76ers?

Ahem, let's get down to business.

For a well-trained team like the Bulls, this full-court press shouldn't have been difficult to break.

However, all the Bulls players knew what the 76ers' purpose was in using the full-court defense at this moment.

That was:

To get the Bulls to run with them.

Continuing to play the Bulls' methodical style would be a slow death. Therefore, during halftime, under Su Feng's "suggestion," "Master Coach" Davis was prepared to gamble on chaos tonight.

On the court, Harper, after struggling to receive the ball, immediately passed it to the "Old Rogue."

In this intense moment, don't ask questions; the ball was simply too hot to handle.

On the court, after dribbling past the halfway line, the "Old Rogue," in order to conserve some energy, dribbled with his back to the basket in the high post, observing the situation on the court.

Then, after confirming that he was indeed very "open," Jordan suddenly accelerated!

Let me tell you a joke about this speed...

Michael Jordan was 34 years old this year.

In Su Feng's previous life, some people always questioned whether Jordan was just a hype king from TikTok highlight reels, but in reality...

If you were to actually cut together a highlight reel of the "Old Rogue," it would be so extensive that you could watch it as a major television series.

Unlike the Bulls' first three-peat, Jordan in the second three-peat rarely drove to the basket as much as he did in the first. But tonight, Jordan, who had forgotten his aim, knew that he had to stand up and score.

Thus, after shaking off Su Feng, Jordan's penetration into the three-point line stunned the fans in the United Center.

Almighty God, were we seeing things correctly?

Was that a...

"Skywalk"?

Michael, did you take a youth-restoring pill tonight?

Jordan, gripping the ball with one hand, unreasonably used his one-handed reverse layup to avoid Ben Wallace and Ratliff, then cheekily tossed the ball into the basket.

46 to 50.

There was nothing to be done. Although Su Feng was faked out by Jordan, he had slowed Jordan down, buying time for his teammates to help defend.

Ratliff and Ben Wallace almost simultaneously came to help, but...

In simple terms, how many people could do this kind of play in the NBA's history?

As everyone knows, the 90s were the most glorious era for centers. Beneath the four great centers, there were also excellent interior players like Mourning, Schrempf, and Mutombo.

However, without exception, these big men became Michael Jordan's background.

Jordan's strength couldn't be diminished with just a few negative comments.

Putting his character aside, he and Pippen were the strongest wing duo in NBA history, bar none.

However...

Just as the fans at the United Center were reminiscing about the setting sun and their lost youth...

On the court, the black lightning of Philadelphia suddenly tore through the entire arena!

He was the light, he was the electricity, he was the one and only "Answer."

When charging, there was no retreat!

Allen Iverson, from inbounding the ball in the backcourt to completing the offense in the frontcourt, a 6-second touchdown!

48 to 50!

On NBC, seeing this scene, commentator Williams said with a smile, "I don't know what achievements Allen and Su will achieve in the future.

But at least tonight, they've shown me the possibility of them surpassing Michael and Scottie one day in the future.

Even if that possibility is only one in ten thousand."

In Los Angeles, Kobe, who was secretly watching the game, wasn't happy to hear this.

Because in Kobe's opinion, Williams had never seen his and Su Feng's teamwork in the Lower Merion era.

Pah, this group of damn bandwagon fans!

Back then, Su Feng was his Pippen.

Why was it that in less than a year, Su Feng had become an All-Star MVP, while he was still just a small substitute for the Lakers?

For some reason, at this moment, Kobe felt like smashing the television.

...

Back to the scene.

On the court, the Bulls were on offense, with a turnaround jumper from Pippen.

Some unknown 76ers substitute couldn't defend against Pippen's offense, so he could only pat his chest and indicate that the play was his fault.

48 to 52.

On the court, the 76ers quickly inbounded the ball, because the second half had just started, and "Zen Master" hadn't had time to make any substitutions...

So, Longley almost cried out loud.

Coach, please sub me out quickly, if you make me run like this, I'm gonna die!

Um...

You might not believe it, but in this Bulls team, Longley's salary...

Was higher than Pippen's.

Originally, if it were in the past, Pippen wouldn't have thought too much about the salary issue.

But alas, tonight, someone was constantly asking him about his income, which made Pippen a little uncomfortable.

Run, you Australian dumb kangaroo.

If you can't run, can't you jump back?

Did Rodman kick away your 2.79 million annual salary?

The more Pippen contributed to the Bulls tonight, the more annoyed he felt.

And on the court, just as Pippen was cursing Longley, Su Feng suddenly disappeared from Pippen's sight.

Pippen: "..."

Oh no!

Pippen forgot that you really couldn't let your guard down for even a second when dealing with a roaming monster like Su Feng.

Su Feng, who had cut into the Bulls' interior, instantly received a pass from Iverson.

It was also strange that on the court, just as Su Feng cut into the Bulls' interior, Jordan came to help defend Su Feng.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the position of some unknown player was indeed more open than Su Feng's.

But could you believe that Iverson saw through Jordan's defensive routine of pretending to help defend?

Did Iverson also predict Jordan's prediction?

No...

Don't think of the "Answer" as so complicated.

Iverson simply only had Su Feng in his eyes besides the basket...

In other words, the "Old Rogue" painstakingly climbed to the fifth floor, but Iverson had been staying on the first floor.

Then, by the time Jordan reacted, Iverson had already left to catch a cab.

Who the hell had the time to compete with you in climbing stairs?

Wouldn't it be better to be simple and kind?

On the court, inside the Bulls' restricted area, Rodman quickly slid toward Su Feng. Although this guy was mentally challenged, his ability to help defend was indeed exaggerated.

However, Su Feng, who was already charging with the ball, didn't dodge at all.

What was the secret to a Middle Eastern-style breakthrough?

Of course, it was:

To charge into battle with the resolution to die!

In this play, Su Feng went up for a layup against Rodman. Rodman didn't dare to make any dirty moves, but even without dirty moves, regular moves in the 90s still involved using elbows.

Bang—!

After colliding with Su Feng in the air, Rodman was stunned.

Because he found that Su Feng was holding the ball with his left hand...

Generally speaking, in basketball games, because you need to protect the ball, if your jump isn't sufficient after encountering help defense, it's easy to get blocked by the defending player when you prepare to complete a layup from bottom to top.

However, Su Feng's "protection" of the ball was different from that of players with small hands.

Um...

His hands were very large.

His fingers were very long.

His third leg was also very long...

Ah, forget it, in short, the "Old Rogue's" cheat-like one-handed reverse layup was based on the fact that he had a pair of big hands.

And Su Feng's one-handed grip on the ball was the same principle.

This allowed him to skip the preparatory step from bottom to top.

Therefore, even without the hang time of Michael Jordan, Su Feng could avoid Rodman's block and complete the shot after this confrontation with Rodman.

Of course, in this play...

Su Feng was taking a bit of a chance when he threw the ball with his left hand.

Beep—!

Fortunately, even if the shot didn't go in, Su Feng could go to the free-throw line, because the referee blew the whistle just as he released the ball.

Bang, swish—!

Hiss...

As for if it went in...

Of course, it was double the happiness, a three-point play!

At the United Center, after Su Feng completed this wonderful three-point play, the big screen repeatedly showed close-ups of Su Feng's big hands.

On NBC, Williams exclaimed, "There's a reason why Michael wanted to pass on his mantle to Su during All-Star Weekend.

Because Su's big hands are just too suitable for playing basketball."

Los Angeles...

If Kobe only had the thought of smashing the TV just now, after listening to Williams' commentary, Kobe was really ready to get up and smash the TV.

However...

Just as Kobe raised his sledgehammer and prepared to smash the TV, looking at his small hands...

What appeared in his mind was the scene where he and Su Feng compared hand sizes on Christmas in 1994.

You know, after that, Kobe would feel uncomfortable for a long time every time he high-fived Su Feng.

Back at the scene, Su Feng, walking to the free-throw line, made the extra free throw, earning his 10th point of the night.

51 to 52.

This game had clearly turned into a seesaw battle.

In the third quarter, the Bulls tenaciously defended their lead, which could be overturned by the 76ers at any moment.

The two teams scored a basket, missed a shot, missed a basket, and missed a shot, causing the Bulls fans to have a heart attack.

The Bulls fans' mood tonight was roughly the same as the mood of the Chinese fans in front of the TV when the Rockets were being chased by their opponents in the Yao-Tracy era in Su Feng's previous life.

But then again, Pippen was indeed on fire tonight.

In the second half of the third quarter, while the "Old Rogue" was once again forging divine weapons, Pippen wielded his broadsword, kicking Rodman one after another, completely dominating some unknown 76ers player.

There was nothing to be done; Su Feng didn't have shadow clone jutsu.

And you have to know that Starks was already the most promising card the 76ers had on the wing besides Su Feng...

Pippen's back was also a masterpiece, because most of the time, the things he did in the Bulls weren't any less than what Su Feng did in the 76ers.

It was just that tonight, Pippen was as uncomfortable as the others in a Happy OB game when they watched Fathead Fish pull out the ultimate Karl card.

Bro, I've set up the stage for you, if you don't use your Aghanim's Scepter, the opponent is going to push high ground!

Ahem...

Although the "Old Rogue" showed that he could still fly in the third quarter, realistically speaking...

Most of the time in this game, he was indeed teaching his disciples how to clang iron stylishly.

It was only because Pippen could endure Su Feng's harassment and still support the Bulls' situation.

You know, in Su Feng's previous life, some heinous online novelist used Pippen for an entire book!

At the end of the third quarter, Su Feng was genuinely feeling injustice for Pippen from the bottom of his heart!

Therefore, in order to allow Pippen to better display his strength, in the fourth quarter...

Su Feng still didn't rest!

On the Bulls' bench, Pippen, who was suffering from a sore back, really wanted to slap himself in the face with a big stick when he saw Su Feng smiling at him.

I...

"Scottie, we can only rely on you."

With Phil Jackson's affectionate gaze avoiding Jordan and turning to Pippen, what could Pippen do?

Regarding Jordan, no matter how he was used in the first three quarters, the "Zen Master" always waited until the last 6 minutes to let him play.

In this game, the Bulls couldn't withstand the 76ers' counterattack with just Kukoc.

As for Kerr and others, the "Zen Master" didn't dare to use them for even a minute.

Therefore, go on, Scottie, go and prove to the world that you are the best small forward in the East!

Pippen: "..."

...

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the score on the court was 69 to 71.

On the court, the 76ers attacked first. Point guard Smith passed the ball to Su Feng on the wing after dribbling past the halfway line.

Pippen, who had played the entire first three quarters like Su Feng, was relieved when he saw that Su Feng was finally preparing to directly attack him head-on.

Okay, as long as this guy doesn't run around with me, then let's play.

In this play, Pippen lowered his center of gravity while opening his long arms.

In the NBA, generally speaking, players with good static talent can gain a greater advantage in defense.

Pippen's wingspan was around 220 centimeters, and in addition to that terrifying wingspan, his dynamic talent was also amazing.

You have to know that Pippen had also performed a free-throw line dunk.

Of course, because of his appearance, Pippen's free-throw line dunk wasn't as famous as Jordan's.

In this play, after carefully observing Pippen's defensive stance, Su Feng rationally passed the ball to Starks.

In order to win the game, Su Feng wouldn't be so stubborn.

After all, reality wasn't a novel or a comic, and Su Feng couldn't suddenly improve to the level of Jordan and Pippen in one game.

In fact, Su Feng was very clear about the gap between himself and Pippen.

Therefore, after passing the ball back to Starks, Su Feng continued to activate his roaming mode.

Pippen: "..."

Couldn't you be considerate of the elderly?

And just as Pippen was drawing circles around Su Feng in his mind, on the court, Starks, who had been suppressed for a long time tonight, suddenly went berserk.

Swish—!

It was a three-pointer made right in his face.

On the court, Su Feng wanted to put a big question mark on Starks at this moment.

This guy...

How could he shoot so decisively?

Realistically speaking, Su Feng passed the ball back to Starks just now because he wanted him to pass the ball to Smith and reorganize the offense.

But who would have thought that Starks would suddenly raise his gun and shoot without saying a word?

Starks' efficiency was a bit higher this season than in Su Feng's previous life, but his three-point percentage was only 33%...

But never mind...

As long as it went in, it was a good shot in Su Feng's opinion.

And after Starks made the shot, on the court...

72 to 71.

The 76ers had finally taken the lead!

Speaking of which, Starks kept trying to find a chance to high-five Su Feng while retreating.

After all, in his opinion, he didn't waste Su Feng's assist and successfully helped the team regain the lead in the score.

It was just a pity that ever since the "Su Feng also did it" incident, Su Feng decided that he must maintain a distance between himself and Starks in front of others in the future.

Therefore, after being rejected for a high-five, Starks awkwardly patted his forehead and retreated to the side.

On the court, the Bulls were on offense. Pippen, who had already scored 24 points tonight, chose to come on his own this time.

After receiving the pass from Kukoc, Pippen turned around and jumped in the low post, and the basketball hit the backboard and went into the net.

72 to 73.

At the United Center, the fans gave a round of applause for Pippen's score.

But Pippen was in no mood to enjoy the fans' applause at this time.

He rubbed his back as he retreated to defend.

Oh, damn Michael, if you can't stand up and carry tonight, then I will definitely...

Will definitely kick Rodman's ass hard with my pointy leather shoes.

76ers on offense. This time it was another three-pointer from Starks.

Su Feng knew that Starks was just a wild card, so after he had just made a shot, Su Feng decided to believe him one more time.

Swish—!

75 to 73!

He really lived up to being the third pick in '95, Jordan's junior!

Su Feng was happy because he never expected that during this period where Iverson was cheering in the fourth quarter, he would actually wait for the moment when Starks pulled out his divine weapon and slashed at the Bulls!

Perhaps, this was why James was willing to continue to believe in JR even after being betrayed by him?

The Bulls attacked again. This time, Balkan magician Kukoc scored with a reverse layup after a series of gorgeous moves.

Hendrickson couldn't defend in time and could only watch Kukoc perform a waltz in front of him.

And in return, Su Feng once again passed the ball to Starks.

Jerry, whether you can get rid of the nickname of unknown substitute depends on this shot...

Swish—!

78 to 75!

Although he still didn't high-five Starks, Su Feng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up at this moment.

Because in Su Feng's opinion, after Starks made these three consecutive three-pointers, now, the 76ers' chances of winning tonight had increased to at least 40%!

It was just that Starks, who had made three consecutive three-pointers, didn't know what he was thinking...

This guy actually ran to the Bulls' bench and made a shrug to Jordan in a low voice.

The smug expression seemed to be saying: Senior, see, this is the true strength of your junior!

"..."

Team in danger, Answer, come back quickly!

...

ps: Daily 2/2.
