Silently Writing

Chapter 307 No One is Perfect, Time for the Final Battle

Chapter 307 (Title slightly mistaken, should be Chapter 307, Bai Tian Qiao will ask the editor to correct it during the day.)

Air Canada Centre.

As DJ Martin introduced the players from both teams tonight, all the fans and commentators sensed something unusual.

Unlike usual, Su Feng and Jordan did not appear in the Raptors' starting lineup tonight.

And then, as the lights that were supposed to come on after the starting ceremony were turned off one by one, everyone began to realize that something big seemed to be happening tonight.

On the big screen, an English sentence first caught people's eyes.

"Nobody's perfect."

Then, in the picture, after a long shot traversed the streets of Toronto and came to the Raptors' arena, people saw Jordan cursing in the training hall.

Then, the camera turned...

...giving a close-up of Jordan in a suit, sitting alone in the team's locker room.

"When you see this video, I don't know if the Raptors have been eliminated.

I don't know what I can still do in the playoffs, but I think, after this season, it's time for me to stop and rest."

"For the sake of honor, I have come all the way and fought to this day. In the eyes of many people, I am omnipotent on the court, but in fact, for the sake of honor, I have also hurt many people."

Under Jordan's monologue, many of his teammates who had been scolded to tears by him in his early years silently lowered their heads at this moment.

In Su Feng's previous life, apart from some players who relied on Jordan to make money, the main reason why Jordan's former teammates would jump out one after another to tear him apart in the future was because Jordan had portrayed his image as too glorious in various documentaries and promotional films.

For this group of people who knew Jordan inside and out, it was understandable that Jordan wanted honor and the praise of the world, but you can't take everything and not even leave us a drop of soup, right?

Unfortunately, in the future, after Jordan returned his EQ to God, most of the players who had been his teammates didn't even have the right to drink the soup, except for a few.

When Su Feng gave Jordan advice before, he hoped that Jordan could face himself in this final documentary.

Because Michael Jordan was never a hero, let alone a basketball god.

He was just a basketball player who was particularly good at playing basketball.

And Jordan originally rejected Su Feng's suggestion.

However, after listening to Su Feng's overall plan, even the always arrogant Jordan knew that Su Feng was doing this for his own good this time.

Because this kind of "self-deprecating" monologue would not only not arouse the fans' disgust, but would also completely shut the mouths of those haters who wanted to attack him with his own scandals.

Moreover, based on the pile of data that Jordan had created in the NBA, he didn't need to emphasize how strong he was again and again.

After Jordan's retirement declaration and self-deprecating monologue ended, people saw the "reason" for Jordan's retirement through the screen.

Old soldiers never die, they just can't run anymore.

In the picture, in order to keep up with the pace of these young people around him, Jordan ran hard again and again.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer run as freely as he did when he was young.

Mistakes, missed shots...

Under the back-and-forth switching of the pictures, people saw a Jordan who had lost his dominance over the game, an aging veteran.

At this time, the picture gave Jordan another close-up.

Jordan, covered in sweat, stood there alone with his knees propped up, panting heavily on the court like an outsider.

Many Jordan fans at the scene who saw this scene had already begun to shed tears.

Just as Jordan finished deceiving the fans' first wave of tears, the Bulls players who had won five championships with Jordan in the past began to appear one by one.

When Pippen pulled up the "depressed" Jordan, even the Raptors fans in the Air Canada Centre cheered for this scene.

Then, the scene of the Bulls dominating the league began to appear.

In addition to facing himself squarely, giving more respect to his teammates who had fought alongside him was also a suggestion from Su Feng.

The reason Su Feng used to persuade Jordan at the time was also very simple.

"Michael, you don't want to be surpassed by me in the future without even having a friend to stand up and speak for you, do you?"

Although Su Feng's words were somewhat of a joke, after a calm analysis, Jordan felt that what Su Feng said made sense.

Therefore, this shot across time and space, on the one hand, was laying the groundwork for the next shot, and on the other hand, it was also Jordan telling his old teammates in his own way:

Thank you for your help in the past.

Houston.

Pippen, who was originally drawing circles at home cursing Jordan, discovered that the person Jordan "loved" the most had always been him.

At that moment, to be honest, it was just that Pippen didn't have time to take a plane, otherwise, he would definitely have flown to Canada to cheer for Jordan on the spot!

Don't give up, Michael!

Have you already forgotten our dream back then?

Cough...

Pippen, who was once again fooled by Jordan, will not be mentioned for the time being.

At the scene, just as people were silently feeling the power of the Bulls back then, suddenly...

The dream woke up.

It turned out that everything just now was just Jordan's memory.

In the picture, Jordan, soaking in an ice bucket with his head drooping, no longer had the teammates who had always silently supported him behind him.

However, just as people were feeling sorry for Jordan, suddenly, a black shadow walked to Jordan's side.

At the same time, the originally somewhat depressing background music also began to become light and cheerful.

Touching the head of this black shadow, Jordan, who seemed to have figured something out at this moment, appeared in the training hall with this black shadow in the next second.

And then, under Jordan's guidance, this black shadow was learning every skill of Jordan's like a copy and paste.

New York, David Stern was filled with melancholy when he saw this through the live broadcast.

Because all along, Stern didn't want Jordan to suppress newcomers in the later stages of his career.

However, in Su Feng's timeline, not to mention Jordan in the later stages of the Bulls, even Jordan in the Wizards, Jordan had always been at odds with the newcomers.

Now, seeing Jordan really guiding newcomers like a senior, Stern felt that Jordan had finally figured things out for once.

Air Canada Centre, although the black shadow had been blurred all the time, most fans had already guessed the identity of the black shadow.

After this warm teaching ended, the camera returned to the scene where Jordan was propping his knees and panting.

Then, this time, the person who stretched out his hand to Jordan was no longer Pippen.

As the surrounding light became brighter and brighter, the true face of the black shadow soon appeared in front of the world.

Even the longest night will have its passing.

Because when the sun rises again, this time, although his former teammates are no longer by his side, a group of energetic young people surround Jordan.

Especially the guy wearing the number 23, who has always appeared as a black shadow in this documentary.

"Michael, let's win a championship together before you retire!"

In the picture, Su Feng said to Jordan with a smile.

After being pulled up by Su Feng, Jordan also smiled: "You trust an old guy who is 36 years old and no one wants that much?"

Su Feng shook his finger at Jordan: "Then are you willing to trust a young man in his early 20s who no one wants?"

"I may only have experience left now." Jordan said solemnly to Su Feng.

"I am good for nothing except being young." Su Feng replied seriously, word by word.

Next, Su Feng and Jordan didn't talk anymore.

As the picture entered this year's Raptors game highlights, people saw Jordan and Su Feng fearlessly charging into the opponent's defense area again and again in the face of the opponent's defense.

At this point, this "Time of Inheritance: Part 2", which had a significantly higher editing level than the divisional semi-finals, also came to its end.

Just like Jordan said at the beginning.

No one knows how far this Raptors team will go.

However, after watching this documentary, people already had an impulse in their hearts that this year's championship must belong to the Raptors.

On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson felt that Van Gundy, Bird, and Auerbach were too lucky.

Because after the Raptors' documentary was broadcast, Jackson felt that the Lakers players might not even have the right to breathe in the upcoming finals.

The retirement declaration at the beginning made Jordan and the Raptors gain the support of many sentimental fans.

And that self-deprecating monologue instantly brought the Bulls players who had fought alongside him in the past into the Raptors camp.

The sentimental memories of the Bulls dynasty made many Bulls fans transfer their love for the Bulls to this Raptors team.

And that basketball teaching for Su Feng conquered the league president in one fell swoop, and the implication of the old god abdicating and the new god standing will definitely become a timeless story in the future.

And finally, that whiplash of the Bulls and 76ers management made many neutral fans full of sympathy for Su Feng and Jordan.

In short, Jackson didn't know who made this documentary.

But in his opinion, why didn't the person who made this documentary go to make movies?

Damn it!

If you play so professionally, how will the directors who make documentaries survive in the future?

Air Canada Centre, after the big screen finished playing this documentary, under the super-long introduction of the on-site DJ Martin, this time, Su Feng and Jordan, the Raptors' number 23 and 24, joined hands shoulder to shoulder and appeared on the scene together.

At this moment, all of Canada was shaking.

The entire North America could hear the cheers for Jordan and Su Feng.

Just as the atmosphere at the scene gradually reached its climax, a beautiful figure also began to walk towards the center of the court.

To be honest, Su Feng really couldn't appreciate Britney's appearance.

But, Su Feng can't appreciate it...

Please don't doubt Britney's lethality to North American men in the summer of 1999.

On January 12 this year, after releasing the album "…Baby One More Time", Britney hit the hearts of countless North American nerds in this era like a comet.

In the first week of the album's release, "…Baby One More Time" won the Billboard 200 chart, and then, it defended its title for six consecutive weeks.

If Su Feng remembered correctly, in 2004, Britney's album would be rated as a platinum record by the Recording Industry Association of America with sales of 14 million copies.

Before the start of the finals, Su Feng was dumbfounded when he unexpectedly received a call from Britney.

Because even with his solid memory, Su Feng really couldn't remember where he had met Britney.

Then, under Britney's gnashing reminder, Su Feng finally recalled that he had met Britney once when the 76ers played in New York last season.

But...

Speaking of which, Su Feng was very confused about how Britney got his phone number.

This time, Britney was completely convinced by Su Feng.

Because before, it was okay if she was a nobody, but now, she was a veritable idol!

"Huh? You want tickets for the finals?

Seriously, it's understandable that ordinary people can't buy tickets, but for you now, it should be easy to get a few tickets for the finals, right?"

Okay, Britney despaired.

Because she never expected that her irresistible charm would be completely unattractive when facing Su Feng.

In fact, just like what Su Feng said, it was not difficult for Britney to get a few tickets.

And in fact, Britney was not very interested in the NBA Finals.

But not long ago, her best friend Lily stirred her up and said, "Huh? My dear princess, the NBA Finals this year are so popular, don't you want to go and see it?"

Popular...

What does the popularity of its NBA games have to do with me?

However, under Lily's repeated persuasion, Britney finally agreed to go to the NBA Finals with her.

But...

"Didn't you know Su a long time ago?

It should be easy for you to ask him for a few tickets, right?

Why did you have to go to your agent and then owe a bunch of favors?"

Just when Britney discovered that this year's finals tickets were not easy to buy, Lily continued to stir the fire.

So, Britney, who had asked Su Feng for his phone number last year, called Su Feng.

As a result...

Britney became depressed.

Fortunately, after Su Feng suddenly remembered something, Su Feng said to her on the phone:

"Since you have time to watch the finals, why don't you come and sing a song then!"

Sing...

Sing!?

I asked you for tickets, you rejected me, and you even want me to sing?

However, what even Britney herself couldn't believe was that she actually agreed to Su Feng in the end.

Because her record company and agent felt that this was a good exposure opportunity.

After all, the NBA Finals this year had far more attention than in the past, and Britney's fans were mainly men, so after communicating with the Raptors, Britney's record company immediately invited professionals to start writing lyrics.

This is a song based on "…Baby One More Time", adapted by Max Martin himself.

In the Canadian Air Canada Centre, the fans who were still in tears originally, when they saw Britney's hot figure appearing in the center of the court, these guys who were saying "It smells so good", what other thoughts did they have at this moment?

Awei is dead.

Charge, brothers!

"Thank you for the Raptors' invitation, and also thank you for my good friend, Su's invitation."

In the center of the court, God knows how much Britney wanted to strangle Su Feng at this moment when she said the words "good friend".

On the Raptors' bench, just as Britney was singing this sweet song called "Basketball One More Time", Su Feng felt that at this moment, he had at least drawn two million "hostile" gazes to himself...

On TNT, Smith said with a smile: "I didn't expect Britney to be good friends with Su."

"And their nicknames are 'Little Sweetie' and 'Sweet Melon'...

Hey, Kenny, don't you think they are more than just good friends?" Smith's commentary partner Derek gossiped.

"Haha, I'm not interested in gossip." Smith said.

Okay...

It's just that Su Feng and Britney don't know what people are thinking.

Otherwise, they would definitely tell people the cruel truth:

In fact, they are not familiar with each other at all.

However, in any case, after Britney finished singing this sweet song, in the Air Canada Centre, in the summer of 1999, this Raptors team...

In this way, it became the starting point of countless people's basketball dreams in the future.

On the sidelines, while waiting for the game to start, the 19-year-old Yao and the 14-year-old James, their completely burning blood, and their expectations for this year's finals...

Definitely can represent the vast majority of basketball fans on this day.

On the live big screen, the starting lineups of the Lakers and Raptors tonight have been given one after another.

Lakers: O'Neal, Horry, Rice, Kobe, Harper.

Raptors: Big Ben, Jordan, Su Feng, Carter, McGrady.

After the players from both teams stepped onto the court one after another, the tip-off between O'Neal and Big Ben in the center of the court began the game.

Stepping on the floor of the finals, at this moment, even Su Feng couldn't help but clench his fists.

Friends come and go, only the championship banner flutters in the wind.

This is the final battleground.

There are currently 29 teams in the NBA, but every year, only one team can reach the top.

Whether it is the previous plan or the longing for the future...

Now, only the stronger side can laugh to the end.

In the tip-off, Big Ben failed to get an advantage from O'Neal.

As in Su Feng's memory, after Jackson gradually liberated the shackles that had been bound on O'Neal, in this year's playoffs, this fathead fish averaged 30.5 points, 15.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.8 blocks per game.

Without a doubt.

The current O'Neal is the number one player in the current NBA.

In Su Feng's original timeline, if based on the hard standard of three consecutive championships.

Then this Lakers team is the only team in the NBA that has established a dynasty after the Bulls.

On the court, after Harper dribbled the ball across the half, he gave the ball to Kobe, who was on fire, as soon as possible.

And at this time, the person on the court who was facing Kobe was naturally his high school classmate...

The 98/99 season regular season MVP.

Su Feng.
