Chapter 141 The Hardest Mouth in NBA History

The next day, looking at the news reports that "distorted the facts" and "made unreasonable arguments," Larry Brown regretted that he only had one mouth.

Otherwise, he would have to have a good debate with this group of people.

Did this world still make sense?

Why didn't he, Larry Brown, a dignified generation of super coaches, even have the right to breathe now?

Faced with the verbal criticism from all sides of the media, the enraged Brown once again showed the world just how hard his mouth was.

"There is nothing wrong with my tactics. There are many reasons why this game didn't go well, and I will summarize them one by one in the future."

"Allen's touch was not good, which may be related to his not playing in the last game."

"Although the disastrous defeat may be unacceptable to some fans, losing by 58 points is no different from losing by only 1 point."

Look, what is called a generation of famous coaches?

In the NBA, as the traditional skill of coaches, if you don't know how to shirk responsibility, then you can only bear the blame.

Although it was Brown who let Iverson rest in order to play the Raptors.

But who stipulated that Brown couldn't use this as an excuse in turn?

Moreover, "a loss has many reasons, and I will summarize them one by one in the future" directly glossed over his complete tactical mistakes in the game...

Seriously, there was a reason why Brown was able to fool so many people in Su Feng's previous life.

Because with this mouth alone, he wouldn't starve to death.

However, in this way, Brown's little fanboy, Berlinberg, was in trouble.

Because he was arranged by Krause to take the blame, he became a punching bag for Philadelphia fans to vent their anger on.

In addition, what made Berlinberg even more heartbroken was that Brown also cleared his relationship with him during an interview.

In Larry Brown's words:

Trading Su Feng was Berlinberg's decision. What does it have to do with Larry Brown?

Tsk!

Now, Berlinberg had completely seen Brown for who he was.

But what was the point of recognizing Brown now?

"Maybe this is retribution?"

Berlinberg thought to himself mockingly as he packed his bags and left Philadelphia in dismay.

...

Let's not talk about when Brown's mouth will be pried open for the time being.

Speaking of which, since Su Feng led the Raptors to beat the people of Pennsylvania to tears in Philadelphia on his birthday night, the voices in the streets supporting Su Feng to win the regular season MVP in the 98/99 season have become louder and louder.

"Of course, Su deserves the MVP, unless the league changes its standards for selecting the MVP, otherwise Su is the MVP in my mind this season."

At a critical moment, Jordan, who was recuperating his waist in Toronto, also gave Su Feng a divine assist.

Having already won three consecutive regular season MVPs, Jordan was very clear that even if Stern's head was caught in a door, Stern would not let him win four consecutive MVPs.

Therefore, for Jordan, who currently believes that blowing Su Feng is equal to blowing himself, he didn't mind injecting more "love" into Su Feng.

This season, the Raptors' record was outstanding, and Su Feng's average score per game ranked third in the scoring list.

Moreover, after ESPN recently launched a column called "You Don't Know How Good Su's Defense Really Is," Su Feng's defensive ability has been praised to the heavens by American experts.

There was no other way.

With Nash's outstanding performance on both ends of the court, it was impossible for Su Feng not to be excellent this season.

In addition, with the resource tilt of Nike and Stern, as well as the Raptors' terrifying popularity in the new season, the exposure Su Feng gained this season was simply unmatched by other stars.

Therefore, although Su Feng's current leading advantage in the "MVP race" was not overwhelming, in the eyes of various experts and reporters, if you had to select fairly, openly, and impartially, who else but Feng deserved the MVP this season?

It was worth mentioning that just when the public generally believed that Su Feng was qualified to win his first career MVP trophy, Stern in New York once again played a trick with people.

During an interview, when Canadian media pressed him on whether the league would select the MVP from an absolutely fair perspective, Stern laughed and said:

"Su is very young and has a lot of potential. I think he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

I have to say, in the NBA, the most roads fans have walked are Stern's tricks.

Because after Stern said this, people suddenly realized a very serious problem in a trance.

That is...

Su Feng is good at everything...

It's just that he's too young.

If he, who is currently 21 years old, becomes the regular season MVP in his third season...

Then...

He would become the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history.

In Su Feng's previous life, the record for the youngest regular season MVP in the future would be created by Derrick Rose, and when Rose won the MVP, he was already 22 years old.

Therefore, even though Stern did not explicitly say it during the interview, more and more people began to feel that the NBA would not let such a young international player win the regular season MVP.

As for Mark, who knew the truth, he felt that Stern's train of thought was really hard for ordinary people to keep up with.

Because no one knew better than Mark the script that Stern had written from the beginning of the season.

Honestly, if he hadn't seen the ending in advance, Mark felt that he would definitely have been fooled by Stern.

Of course, Mark, who knew Stern's good intentions behind the scenes, believed that Stern's trap was necessary.

Because Su Feng was different from other American players. As an international player, even if he was popular, he couldn't have as many local followers as other American players.

But now it was different.

Because after getting into Stern's trap within a trap, local fans would develop a feeling of sympathy for Su Feng due to their doubts about the fairness of the league's award selection.

In this way, as long as Stern controlled the direction of the ending, then by that time, after a wave of reversals, even if local fans and the media had some doubts, the vast majority of fans would only cheer for the league's fair decision.

To put it simply, in the NBA, who knew better than Stern how to promote people?

Especially at this critical juncture when the ancient gods were gradually stepping into twilight.

If the new gods who took over didn't have some eye-catching records, where would the NBA get the topic to continue attracting attention?

In short, under Stern's rule, the NBA was so "fair, open, and impartial."

There was absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation!

...

In April, after a painful victory over the 76ers in Philadelphia, the Raptors, who were gradually regaining their form, started another six-game winning streak.

In mid-April, after resting for more than half a month, Jordan also returned to the Raptors' roster.

Under the Raptors' official deliberate publicity, Jordan this season had begun to no longer regard himself as the "God of Basketball."

Most of the time, he was more like a late "hero."

A brave man who, although his armor and blades were dilapidated, was still rushing to the front line.

The biggest benefit of this kind of publicity was that even if Jordan's performance in some games was not as good as before, fans would not have a psychological gap because of it.

Plus Su Feng's carefully crafted "predecessor" persona for Jordan...

If the Raptors could really win the championship this season, then Jordan in this life would definitely reach an unprecedented height in terms of prestige.

As for whether there would be Feng in the future...

That would depend on whether Su Feng himself could seize the opportunity.

After entering April, as Su and Jordan's tacit understanding became better and better, these two people, in the great cause of jointly racking up stats...

Even more showed the world what it meant to stick together for warmth and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Knowing that he couldn't compete for the scoring title this season, Jordan played five "20+ triple-doubles" in the seven games after his return.

For a time, it also sparked a discussion in the streets about "whether Jordan was old or not."

In order to compete for the title of youngest regular season MVP, recently, in addition to the average score per game having risen to 25+, under Davis's instructions...

The Raptors players, who were madly feasting on Su Gongzi's bad pancakes, also forcibly raised Su Feng's average assists to 2.7 times.

Honestly, it was because Nash didn't have much say in the team now...

Otherwise, with this kind of way of racking up assists, Nash felt that he could easily average 15+ assists per game.

Do you know what? When he saw the media praising Su Feng for becoming more and more organized in his offense, Nash, who had lived for a long time, had his values completely washed away.

There was no other way. As a poor student in passing, as long as Su Feng could make slight progress, it would naturally be a qualitative leap in the eyes of experts and reporters.

Therefore, in the NBA, data is sometimes so deceptive.

But then again.

In the NBA, how many players are qualified to rack up stats, or have the ability to rack up stats?

Moreover, under the Raptors' rampant momentum, if you said that the Raptors were racking up stats, not only would you be seen as a madman...

You would also most likely be beaten up by the Raptors' opponents first.

...

In April, the Raptors, who were immersed in the joy of the sewer, did not have their winning streak ended by the Celtics until the end of the month.

The reason why the Raptors lost this game was related to the fact that they had played a back-to-back-to-back before playing the Celtics.

However, even though the Celtics were waiting for work, the Celtics did not win this game easily.

Because...

Su Feng used his strength in this game to interpret what it meant to say "The Raptors lost, but Feng didn't lose."

In the case of the Raptors' entire team being off, Su Feng, who had worked hard with the Celtics for 48 minutes, made 15 of 30 shots in the whole game, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws, madly scoring a season-high 41 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

Finally, relying on Ray Allen's two three-pointers at critical moments, the Celtics managed to pass the level safely from the road.

After the game, during an interview, Celtics coach Auerbach also sincerely sighed: "I really can't believe that Su is only 21 years old now. If he can make significant progress in passing and organization in the future, then I can't think of any way to limit him at all."

There was one thing to say, the essence of the NBA was still old foxes like Auerbach.

Because while praising Su Feng, he also pointed out Su Feng's shortcomings to people.

And the meaning of his words was nothing more than this:

Don't just know how to look at Su Feng!

Isn't our Duncan fragrant?

(Fans: Who is Duncan?)

Poor Duncan.

In Su Feng's previous life, because his playing style was not attractive enough, Duncan's popularity, like his playing style, could only be described as mediocre in terms of popularity and exposure.

Therefore, even though Auerbach kept canvassing for Duncan, in the face of the Raptors' popularity, which was enough to crush everything, Duncan was destined to be "suppressed" by someone for a period of time.

...

In this way, after the team's journey in April ended, the Raptors, who led the entire league with a record of 41 wins and 6 losses, flew to Houston on the 1st...

Preparing for the team's focus battle with Mosaic on the road in the final stage.

This season, after Drexler, who had given Su Feng the nickname "Sweet Melon," retired, Mosaic, who had brought in Pippen, was also one of the popular favorites to win the championship.

Don't look at the fact that Mosaic is currently only ranked sixth in the West, but for this team that once made a comeback all the way,

People's meetings on Mosaic were just meetings, but no one would question the competitiveness of this Mosaic.

After all, Mosaic, led by the three fifty greatest superstars, Da Meng, Barkley, and Pippen, could also be said to be full of deterrent power in its lineup.

The focus of this time when the Raptors visited Aerospace City was naturally the love-hate relationship between Pippen and Jordan, this legendary combination.

These two people, who were still winning championships together in Chicago last season, had become masters of their own in the new season in a blink of an eye, which was really embarrassing.

However, just when people thought that the Raptors would spark sparks with Mosaic in this game, the process of this game shocked the world...

Just like in Su Feng's memory, even though Pippen's body was healthier in this life than in his previous life, he was always unable to integrate into Mosaic's tactics, and he was completely an outsider.

Barkley, who had not been able to lose weight after the lockout, could not C this season either.

As for Da Meng...

Although the 36-year-old Olajuwon's average data was still close to "20+10," Da Meng's dominance could no longer be compared with that of the past.

To put it bluntly, Mosaic's lineup looked beautiful.

However, in the face of the young Raptors, how could they withstand this kind of random rush?

In the game, watching his old opponents and old teammates playing more anxiously than the other, Jordan was very glad that the people standing beside him were a group of young people.

No one can refuse to grow old.

This was the most cruel and ruthless side of competitive sports.

No matter how strong you were in the past, you had to bow your head obediently in the face of time.

On TNT, Smith sighed at the end of the game: "This Mosaic is not the Raptors' opponent. The strength of these two teams is not in the same grade at all.

No matter how glorious the past these former strong teams have achieved, they must accept the fact that the Raptors are stronger than them."

On this day, in the face of the soaring Raptors, Da Meng finally lowered his proud head.

On this day, Barkley, who was drooling at Su Feng's figure, finally gave up the plan to add extra training on the treadmill after the game.

And on this day...

Looking at Jordan chatting and laughing with Su Feng, Pippen...

Finally knew how scummy Jordan was.

"Scottie? How could he compare with you?"

After the game, just when Pippen was preparing to take the initiative to catch up with Jordan to reminisce about the past, he suddenly turned his head and walked back to the locker room after hearing Jordan praising Su Feng...

...

ps: Oh, a classic poor author loses 200. (Because I failed to complete the goal on the 15th, 200 yuan has been roLLed in the v group.)

ps2: A Qiao will continue to force her state on the 16th. Therefore, on the 16th, if I still can't get two updates before 24:00, I will roLL 200 yuan in the v group.
