Chapter 408 The Path of a King, Winning Hearts with Virtue!
However, in the face of Su Feng's "that dunk" in the second half...
Neither the result nor the process of this match...
Seemed that important anymore.
Shortly after this China-France battle, the French media officially named Su Feng's dunk:
"dunk.of.death."
Direct translation in Chinese:
---Death Dunk.
"Although the basketball competition of the Sydney Olympics has only just concluded its first day, in my opinion, this year's Olympic basketball competition is already over.
We will forever remember Su's dunk, and even until the end of the world, it will be eternal!" The French basketball commentator Jean-Bertot commented after the match.
"Without a doubt, the history of world basketball has turned a new page from this moment onward!
As early as 1992, we witnessed the power of the American Dream Team in Barcelona.
But at this moment, even though we have only just entered the 21st century, Su's dunk has almost 100% locked in the best dunk of this century in advance!
I would like to call it the 'Dunk of the Century'!"
Arthur, a basketball columnist for *Agence France-Presse*, wrote in his column, "A Century Dunk from China Ignites the World Basketball Scene."
Uh...
To be honest.
If Su Feng wasn't very clear that he had no connection with this magical country of France...
After the game, when he saw that it was actually the French media who took the lead in praising him, Su Feng almost thought he was Napoleon the nth...
However...
This is indeed very French.
Because if Su Feng remembers correctly, in his original timeline, it was the French who hyped up Carter's Dunk of the Century...
Even American media later quoted a large number of reports from French media when reviewing Carter's dunk.
What is it like to have a system after time-traveling and being reborn to play basketball in the United States, but being hailed as the God of Basketball in France?
Su Feng: I just came down from the clouds, thank you for the invitation.
Actually...
You might not believe it if I said it.
Su Feng himself didn't really have any special experience with this dunk over Weis.
Because Weis was obviously a coward at the time.
Otherwise, with his height of 218 centimeters, it would have been quite difficult for Su Feng to fly over his head.
Moreover, even if Su Feng was excited at the time, the next second, he was almost suffocated to death by Yao Ming.
So...
After the game, how could Su Feng feel happy when he recalled this scene?
Because Carter, in his previous life, at least joined forces with Garnett to perform a chest-thumping celebration after dunking on Weis...
But what about himself?
gt
You say, just this pattern...
Just this measure...
How could Michael Jordan compare with Su Feng?
What was even more amazing was that, in the United States, when Larry Brown, who was unemployed at home, learned that Su Feng wanted to take the initiative to repair their relationship, he rushed out of the house as soon as possible, searching the streets for a creature called a reporter.
"Without a doubt, Su is definitely the strongest player in the league right now.
To be honest, if I didn't like him enough back then, how could I have given him unlimited firing rights on the court?
We have some conflicts, but these conflicts are mainly because both he and I have strong personalities. In fact, Su also liked the tactics I arranged for him back then."
Tsk tsk...
Is this Larry Brown, who fooled the NBA in his previous life?
Su Feng loved it.
Simply perfect!
Su Feng felt that after "turning enemies into friends" with Larry Brown, he could rest assured and boldly help him "whitewash" himself next.
As for which team would be scammed as a result?
That's not important.
As long as the American national team can be scammed by him, that's perfect.
Just as Su Feng began to think about how to help Larry Brown whitewash himself, on the 18th, after a wave of confrontation with the original Italian artillery, several "Italian artillery" from China successfully had the last laugh.
In this game, the Chinese team and the Italian team played a high-quality offensive battle under FIBA rules, and the Chinese men's basketball team finally won 97 to 85.
Su Feng scored a single-game high of 35 points since the beginning of this Olympic Games, plus 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.
On the 19th, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the United States in the fourth game of the group stage.
As a result, what was most interesting about this game, more than the game itself, was Mourning's bet with his teammates before the game.
Because after the game started, it was Mourning himself, who proposed the bet, who was the first to be blocked by Yao.
And then, Garnett and Carter were also blocked by Yao one after another.
In the end, the score of this game was 86 to 101, and the Chinese men's basketball team sent all the players on the roster in this game.
In the words of Zhang, who flew to Sydney urgently to replace Han Qiaosheng as the commentator, "In this game, we are obviously preparing for the upcoming knockout stage."
On the 20th, in the game against Lithuania, Su Feng felt the true charm of European basketball for the first time.
Putting aside everything else, just talking about basketball...
As one of the representatives of European traditional basketball powerhouses, Lithuania and Yugoslavia at this time, in Su Feng's view, were not comparable to the previous French team, whether in terms of the team's integrity or teamwork.
In Su Feng's previous life, if they hadn't unfortunately missed the buzzer-beater in the semi-finals, it was very likely that Lithuania would have rewritten history before Argentina.
Therefore, it seems that the Lithuanian players are not as famous as the American team, but in the actual FIBA games, if this American team has a rating of 99, then Lithuania, at least, has 95 points.
Like the game against the American team, the Chinese team still did not use its full strength in this game.
Men's basketball coach Zhang Bin made a lot of rotations in the use of personnel.
After Lithuania established a 10-point lead early, in the end, the Chinese men's basketball team lost this game with a score of 77 to 88. At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team also successfully advanced to the top eight of this Olympic Games with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, ranking third in the group.
According to the schedule, the knockout stage will begin in one day...
And the Chinese team's opponent in the quarter-finals will be Russia.
Before, in the friendly match, Su Feng felt that this Russian team was not very strong.
Apart from its overall style still being sturdy, the level of Russian basketball at this time could no longer be compared with the Soviet era.
On the 21st, when preparing for the knockout stage, the recovery status of Yao and others exceeded Su Feng's expectations.
In Su Feng's original timeline, because he often had to undertake the tasks of the national team, this also indirectly increased Yao Ming's risk of injury in NBA games.
But judging from this Olympic Games...
Su Feng felt that as long as Zhang Bin could continue to develop towards becoming a famous coach and give Yao Ming more rotation time in international games, then this Yao might be able to play until the Rio Olympics.
"Haha, Brother Feng, you don't have to worry about my stamina. I'm a floor-bound player, I can definitely play until I'm 40 years old."
And this day, after learning that Su Feng was very concerned about his health, Yao felt that Su Feng's worries about him were completely unnecessary.
Hearing this...
Looking at Wang Zhizhi and Ba Te'er beside him, Su Feng almost pointed at these two to tell Yao Ming the cruel reality.
That is...
Among the three centers, you are obviously the first to retire, okay?
"By the way, how do you feel about your new shoes?" In the gymnasium, after Yao Ming evoked a sad memory for Su Feng, Su Feng said to Yao Ming.
In this year's Olympic Games, Yao Ming has officially worn the "Great Wall Generation" under the Phenomenon banner, which was designed for him by Nike.
Different from Yao's Reebok shoes in his previous life, which did not take into account the weight and foot shape of the center, when Nike's designers designed these shoes for Yao, Su Feng had no other requirements, the only requirement was...
These shoes, they must be comfortable enough.
Anyway, with Carter helping him sell shoes, what was Su Feng worried about the sales of the Phenomenon series?
Besides, center shoes are originally the most difficult to sell in the world.
Therefore, comfort, in Su Feng's view, is what the "Great Wall series" needs to provide for Yao.
And in the training hall, after frowning, Yao lowered his head and said to Su Feng: "They are comfortable to wear, but Brother Feng, why do I feel that my shoes are so ugly?"
Pa!
Listening to Yao's tone with a hint of resentment, Su Feng slapped him on the back with his backhand.
"Alas...
Rest assured and move forward, Yao.
In this life, I'm here for you."
This day, looking at the lively and lovely Yao in the gymnasium, Su Feng silently sighed.
