October 8th, before the start of the NBA's new season preseason games, Su Feng inspected his ability value panel system, not knowing why...

Even though it was already his fourth season, Su Feng found himself still as excited about the arrival of the new season as a rookie.

Because he had recently drawn a batch of ordinary nutrient solutions and supreme nutrient solutions through his forging value, the forging value that Su Feng had accumulated through national warfare and summer one-on-one duels had been consumed by nearly 300 million.

Therefore, looking at the tree-shaped puzzle composed of legendary moment shard missions, Su Feng silently set a few "small goals" for himself before the start of the new season.

Oh, if there really were an omniscient and omnipotent god in this world, then Su Feng could swear to the heavens that he, the "kind and obedient" one, was never a greedy person.

Well, in terms of greed, Su Feng's greed was only a little bit more than others.

On the 10th, according to the preseason schedule, the Raptors' first opponent was their neighbor, the Grizzlies.

As a result, this preseason game held in Vancouver once again broke the heart of Raptors owner Griffiths.

Because apart from the fact that this arena was nominally still the Grizzlies' home court...

Griffiths couldn't feel what home-court advantage was at all.

For the arrival of the newly crowned champion Raptors, the Vancouver fans welcomed them with crazy cheers and applause.

Especially when star players like Su Feng and Carter appeared, the atmosphere at the Vancouver venue reached a fever pitch.

As for the Grizzlies' own players?

Tch...

Believe it or not, Grizzlies fans might not even be able to recognize all of their own players.

Well, Baron Davis' big beard could be recognized at a glance, but other than that, the Grizzlies' other players were just invisible people, directly ignored by the fans.

And thinking that after the start of the new season, the Raptors' home court would raise the championship banner for the first time...

That day, God knows how many times Griffiths greeted Chad's family in his heart.

Speaking of which, because it was a preseason game, Davis gave as many Raptors players on the roster as possible a chance to play.

And as a member of Feng Huang's (Su Feng) new season's henchman group, Batier, who got 9 minutes of playing time in the preseason game, scored 3 points and 2 rebounds in his preseason debut, shooting 1 for 3.

In the fourth quarter, Batier scored a three-pointer with his foot-planting shooting style that Su Feng remembered so well.

This season, after joining the NBA, Batier felt unprecedentedly strained.

For the Raptors, who emphasized speed, Batier found that he simply couldn't keep up with the team's offensive rhythm.

This...

Is this the stage that Su Feng has been fighting on all along?

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

Looking at the figure on the court that came and went freely, I am afraid that Batier himself did not know that this life of his would escape a disaster in the future because of the "humility" he felt at this moment.

Back to the main topic.

After defeating the Grizzlies 119 to 103 on the road, Davis handed over the command to train his "Wolong" and "Fenglun" in the next 6 preseason games.

So, D'Antoni and Rivers admitted...

They were really happy.

Although the coaching styles of these two people were completely different, they found in a daze...

As long as Su Feng was on the court, no matter what arrangements they made, the Raptors would be very resilient.

On the other hand...

When Su Feng was not around, no matter what adjustments they made, it was difficult for the Raptors to play like that.

Twenty years later, when reviewing the Raptors, many Feng Hei (Su Feng haters) believed that the Raptors could win the championship even without Su Feng.

But as early as this summer of 1999, D'Antoni and Rivers already knew the cruel truth.

That is, with or without Su Feng, the Raptors were completely two teams.

In fact, even without Su Feng, the Raptors would gather a perverted lineup consisting of Willis, Christie, the Camby brothers, Antonio Davis, Dibrown, and others.

Even if it wasn't because Billups was too naughty in his early years, you might be able to add a big heart to the Raptors' lineup.

However, even if the Raptors in history also had explosive talent, they couldn't play like the Raptors do now.

To put it bluntly, history doesn't have the words "if" and "suppose."

Because of Su Feng's appearance, the current Raptors not only have a backbone, but also, under Su Feng's positive influence, the Raptors' players have produced a completely different chemical reaction from Su Feng's previous life.

It's just...

Now the problem is...

Although Rivers and D'Antoni felt that they had found the trick to becoming a famous coach, where should they go to find another Su Feng?

Seriously, for a moment, Rivers and D'Antoni really wanted to hire someone to kill Davis.

Because in their opinion, Davis deserved to die!

Damn it!

Omniscient and omnipotent God, why don't you send us a Su Feng too!

(Riley, who was far away in Miami: You two are so right!)

In this way, although they didn't go all out in the preseason, the Raptors still had a good record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

After the end of the preseason, the Raptors officially announced the team's 14-man roster for the new season.

The Raptors' 14-man roster for the 99/00 season is as follows:

Center: Ben Wallace, Sean Marks, Batier.

Power Forward: Jermaine O'Neal, John Thomas, Ben Davis.

Small Forward: Su Feng, Reggie Slater.

Shooting Guard: Vince Carter, Dell Curry, Alvin Williams.

Point Guard: Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash, Tiny Bogues.

In this list, in addition to some players being cut from the team because their contracts expired, the Raptors also signed Ben Davis and Tiny Bogues with two veteran minimum contracts after the end of the preseason.

There's nothing to say about the former.

Although Davis, like Su Feng, is also a member of the '96 Golden Generation.

But as a second-round pick, his talent is really average. He's responsible for watching the water cooler and occasionally going on the court to slack off.

Therefore, the Raptors didn't have too many expectations for him.

The latter is a treasure that the Raptors successfully found from the free agent market.

To be reasonable, no matter how garbage Gruwald's evaluation will be in the future, during his years as the Raptors' general manager, he did overcome the Raptors' lack of connections as a Canadian team and the difficulty of other transactions.

Because in addition to the well-known Old Curry, Bogues will also be signed by Gruwald with a veteran minimum contract this season in history.

Don't look at Bogues, nicknamed "Little Bug," who is already 34 years old this year, but he can play in the NBA with a height of 160 cm. In a sense, he is really fighting against the gods with a mortal body.

In the second half of the 97/98 season, after being traded by the Hornets to the Warriors, Bogues, whose contract with the Warriors expired this season, once faced a situation where he had no ball to play.

Because of his height, even if he had proven himself in the NBA before, no team was willing to bet on him.

At this time, Gruwald made a move.

It has to be said that fate is such a wonderful thing.

Su Feng knew very well that Bogues was not old enough to be "dying" at this time. Although it was difficult for him to get too much playing time in the current Raptors, he could also play a very important role in some specific games.

Compared with last year, in terms of popularity, the quality of the Raptors is definitely not as good as last year's.

But with the great progress made in the summer, the current Su Feng is definitely the top player among the league's perimeter players.

Of course, even if Su Feng is still full of confidence in the Raptors, he has to admit that from this moment on, even he can't figure out the context and direction of history.

After the end of the preseason, according to the schedule of the regular season, the Raptors' first opponent in the new season is the Celtics.

And this regular season opener, because the Raptors will hold a "raising the flag ceremony" and a championship ring presentation ceremony at home...

So even without Davis' reminder, the Raptors players had already made up their minds to win the Celtics.

To be honest, if this schedule was not deliberately arranged by Stern, then Su Feng would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Just try to think about it, holding the "raising the flag ceremony" in front of the former Eastern overlord, the Celtics...

Isn't this the same as sleeping with Saori Kido in front of the Saint Seiya?

How can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?

As one of the only two giants in the NBA, Su Feng can be 100% sure that the Raptors will probably have to play another "Finals" at the beginning of this new season.

Just as the Raptors entered the final stage of preparation, the Celtics also arrived in Toronto two days in advance in late October.

Exactly as Su Feng expected.

Obviously, the Celtics came with a soaring murderous aura this time.

Auerbach knew that arranging for the Celtics to come to Toronto to play the opening game against the Raptors was, to some extent, Stern telling him in this way:

Great Red Auerbach, please recognize this era!

In this brand new era, there is no ship to carry you anymore.

Now...

At this moment...

Currently...

The new king of the NBA is called:

————Toronto Raptors.

Just like how he is great at promoting people...

You must know that Stern is also great at disgusting people.

As early as when the NBA officially announced the regular season schedule for the new season, this game between the Raptors and the Celtics had received widespread attention.

Let the old king take off his crown, and then let the new king step on the old king's corpse to ascend to the throne.

If competitive sports are a war without gunpowder, then as early as a month ago, the world had already foreseen the tragic nature of this game.

"Su? Sorry, I don't know who Su is."

As the "vanguard general" of the Green Army, Artest's unruly character during the pre-match interview directly brought the gunpowder smell of this game to its peak.

I don't know who Su Feng is.

In the eyes of countless "honey" and Raptors fans, Artest's remarks were more than just a provocation.

But on this day...

During the training session, just when the young Jermaine O'Neal thought that Su Feng would be angry because of Artest's provocation...

From Su Feng's calm face, Jermaine O'Neal saw a trace of joy?

Just like how Ben's young heart was attracted by Su Feng's sentence "I'm playing against Michael Jordan" back then.

Remembering that in Portland, whenever Ryder was provoked, he would angrily take it out on himself, Jermaine O'Neal curiously looked at Su Feng and asked, "Su... Ron's words are indeed too much, but don't take it to heart, because this kind of trash talk..."

Take it to heart?

Trash talk?

Looking at Jermaine O'Neal, who needed his comfort a few days ago, and now he actually turned around and wanted to comfort him, the "political commissar"...

Su Feng felt that Jermaine O'Neal simply didn't know that for a rabbit, as long as it stepped onto the battlefield, its morale would definitely be full.

"No, I'm not sad at all. You know, Jermaine, I'm really happy.

Because I didn't expect that there would still be people who dared to challenge me."

Patting Jermaine O'Neal on the shoulder, at this moment, Su Feng was simply more awesome than coming down from heaven.

This...

This wave...

This wave is the king of forced behavior, terrifying!

Clenching his fists, Jermaine O'Neal, who felt that he was extremely low, was almost turning into the shape of "honey" at this moment...

On the other side...

Unlike Artest, who sent a battle letter to Toronto without thinking.

The young Duncan has recently been trying to find a way to defeat Su Feng through the theory of relativity.

Although after entering the league, the Little Stone Buddha had defeated Su Feng several times in the regular season, unlike a certain fathead fish that was so miserable...

But the scene of being defeated by the Raptors even after going all out in the Eastern Conference Finals last season still echoed in Duncan's mind.

But as the saying goes, the problems you can't solve today may not be solved tomorrow.

Therefore, in addition to training as usual, in Duncan's opinion, it is king to sleep well and recharge his batteries.

November 1st.

Because tomorrow is the regular season opener, both the Raptors and the Celtics held press conferences before the game.

At this press conference, through Miller Carl's mouth, almost everyone at the scene felt the anger of that legendary coach.

Maybe I am indeed a "remnant" of the old era.

Maybe I am indeed not worthy of getting on this ship to the new era.

But this can't stop me from using my last strength to push the Celtics onto this ship of hope to the future.

"Who is Su?

To be honest, I don't know how to answer you, so let's get to know Su again through tomorrow night's game."

After the Celtics' press conference, at the Raptors' press conference, looking at all the reporters at the scene, John Davis said meaningfully.

……

ps: Heh... I still remember that before the draft in 2018, I told you that Doncic would definitely become a great player in the future.

But as a result, some people actually said that I don't understand basketball and said that if Doncic could make it, he would eat shit. So now, is that brother who eats shit still there? How dare you doubt Qiao's vision, this is really, sigh... (077 awesome! 077 is the best!)
