Silently Writing
Chapter 472 A Fated Match, the Gap Between Stars!
That night, after confirming this "huge accident" with Britney, Su Feng's mood was extremely complex.
From the perspective of having lived two lifetimes, Su Feng had indeed fantasized more than once in this life, after entering the NBA...
About the scene of having a son to beat and a daughter to dote on.
But when reality suddenly arrived...
At that moment, Su Feng felt the side of the goddess of fate that always liked to play tricks on people from behind.
Because if Su Feng remembered correctly...
Kobe, who had married Vanessa last year...
Should have just completed the first phase of their baby-making project with Vanessa.
Therefore...
Under normal circumstances, Kobe's eldest daughter and his own child should both be born around January of next year.
And this...
You could call it a coincidence...
But Su Feng really hadn't intentionally tried to create this coincidence.
Because looking back from the time Britney tested positive for pregnancy...
All of this...
I'm afraid it all started with Britney's question, "Brother, what about me makes you unsatisfied?"
To be honest.
In Su Feng's opinion, all of this came quite suddenly.
Because, you know, in terms of his current relationship with Britney, he and Britney hadn't even announced their reconciliation for that despicable traffic.
And now...
Heaven knows what the public opinion in China and the United States would be like after the news of Britney's pregnancy was announced.
As the saying goes, shooting around is not shooting randomly...
After successfully hitting the mark this time, in the spring of 2002, how could Su Feng have imagined that he and Britney would jointly stage a magical version of "China-America collaboration, culture and sports blooming together?"
But no matter what, Su Feng was quite happy about the fact that he was about to become a father.
Because if Britney gave him a baby boy this time...
Then, given his current age, Su Feng could completely wait until this baby boy joined him in the NBA one day.
Because by the time this baby boy turned 18, Su Feng would only be 43 years old.
You know, judging from the n times Su Feng had recorded Stephen Curry's "crimes of disrespect"...
In this life, in order to allow Ku Hao to fully feel the love from his uncle, Su Feng had originally planned to retire after playing until he was 45 years old.
Therefore, if this baby boy could really inherit his mantle, wouldn't it be a beautiful scene for him and Curry to feel the love from their fathers together at that time?
After all, a father's love is like a mountain, those who understand will understand.
And if Britney gave him a baby girl this time...
Then, after finishing the 16/17 season...
At that time, the retired Su Feng could even experience the joy of being a "national father-in-law" off the court.
In short...
In any case, for his unborn child...
Although it felt quite unexpected, Su Feng was full of expectations for his/her birth.
And according to the temporary agreement between Su Feng and Britney on the phone...
After he finished playing in the playoffs, he would find time to sit down and have a good talk with Britney about their future.
Because as the top figure in China's sports circle and the current national goddess of the United States, Su Feng knew very well that the impending birth of his and Britney's child would 100% detonate public opinion in both China and the United States.
No exaggeration here...
The attention that Su Feng and Britney had brought to the NBA with the topics they had created in the past two years...
Even Shaquille O'Neal's three consecutive MVP awards might not have had such an impact.
In his previous life, every time David Beckham and Victoria's children were born, they would basically become the focus of attention for people all over the world.
And compared to Beckham and Posh Spice...
This wasn't Su Feng deliberately showing off.
Even if you put the whole of Europe together...
That heat couldn't compare to a fight between the Eagle and the Rabbit.
Admittedly, soccer is indeed the world's number one sport.
But for the two "flawed" soccer deserts...
Basketball is one of the few sports that allows the Eagle and the Rabbit to sit together for friendly discussions.
Therefore...
In order to avoid many troubles that might arise in the future, Su Feng knew very well that this time, he had to stand up and eliminate these hidden dangers.
"Sigh! How am I about to become a dad already?"
Recalling how he had just argued with Su Weiguo on the phone a few days ago...
Su Feng still felt that all of this was a bit outrageous.
Because clearly...
He was still a child!
...
On the 17th, Su Feng, who felt that he was still a child, led the Raptors to eliminate the Nets with a score of 4-0 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
As in the previous three games.
In the fourth game, the Nets still took a 10-point lead in the first half, only to be overturned by the Raptors in the second half.
And it's worth mentioning that during the third quarter of this game, whether it was the fans at the scene or the fans in front of the TV...
Everyone could clearly feel...
The joy that Su Feng exuded from the inside out.
This was a feeling that couldn't be described in words.
Anyway...
On this night, everyone felt that Su Feng's state of mind was very different from usual.
Even he, who had always liked to show a poker face on the court, was repeatedly captured by close-up shots laughing on the court.
"So that's why we say that Su Feng has become more and more mature after experiencing last year's failure?
In the past, every time we mentioned Su Feng, we would say that he is an athlete who can't afford to lose on the court.
Because whenever he loses a game, you can clearly feel his emotions of wanting to devour you alive.
But this year, even after Little O'Neal's bizarre injury a few days ago...
From Su Feng, you can very directly find...
His ability to adjust himself, and this attitude of enjoying the game on the court...
Is getting closer and closer to Michael Jordan in his peak career, and even surpassing Michael Jordan." CCTV, after the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Raptors and the Nets, Yang Yi said with emotion during the post-match analysis.
And Yu Jia on the side also held the same view.
"Just like he himself said, the greatest moment in life is not the moment you move towards success.
But the moment you dare to accept failure and face it calmly.
Maybe for the Toronto Raptors, this year may also be a disappointing year.
But after such repeated tempering day after day, year after year...
I believe that next year, Su Feng and his Raptors will definitely sharpen their swords and emerge from the grind, and the plum blossoms will smell fragrant from the bitter cold."
At the Air Canada Centre, thanks to Su Feng's optimistic and positive attitude...
After the game, many Raptors fans who had watched the game at the scene said in interviews that they had learned a lot from Su Feng.
But...
For Scott and his Nets...
Being eliminated by the Raptors 0-4, especially after being overturned in four consecutive games...
Was a reality they couldn't accept no matter what.
After the game, in an interview, Scott, who was in a bad mood, even blurted out a divine quote.
That is...
"The difference in star players."
In Scott's view, there was nothing wrong with the tactics he adopted in this series.
Because if there was a problem, then the Nets wouldn't have been able to lead the Raptors in four games.
Therefore, Scott believed that in this series...
The key point that determined the trend of the series was that Pierce, who could only contribute 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, could not compete with Su Feng, who could get 33.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
"Paul should put away his temper and go study hard this summer how Su handles the game on the court.
Because no matter how good a coach is, it is impossible to lead a team to win when the star player only gets 13.5 points per game."
It has to be said that in terms of shifting the blame, Scott really has the taste of being a "super coach".
It was just that after Pierce heard Scott's interview...
For a moment, Pierce didn't want to play for Scott anymore.
In Su Feng's previous life, if you look at Scott's coaching resume, you will find that in addition to falling out with Kidd, he will also fall out with Paul in the future.
And the ways of these two breakups are almost the same.
The former was because Kidd was fed up with Scott always using himself as Iverson, so he wanted Scott to change the way he used him.
But he was countered by Scott, "Do you understand basketball or do I understand basketball?"
And the latter was because he felt that if the Hornets continued to play like this, they would be finished sooner or later, so he wanted to take over the tactical board to tell Scott what a real tactic was.
As a result...
After Scott righteously countered Paul with "Do you understand basketball or do I understand basketball?"
Scott's main coaching experience in the future was to lead the Cavaliers and Lakers to complete their rebuilds.
Therefore...
To be reasonable, it was just that Pierce had a good personality.
Otherwise, if it was Su Feng, wouldn't he have punched Scott on the spot?
However, as an opponent, Su Feng liked this kind of Scott very much.
Because Scott's sentence "the difference in star players"...
Wasn't that just giving himself free reputation?
And it was in a way of convincing the opposing coach.
You know...
In the future, when Su Feng retires and people summarize his career, this kind of evaluation from opponents is quite critical.
Therefore...
Byron...
Are you sure you are not an undercover agent sent by the Raptors to New Jersey?
...
On the 18th and 19th, because the series between the Raptors and the Nets ended so quickly...
So they had to patiently wait for the game between the Celtics and the Philadelphia Thugs next door to finish.
In the past two days, Su Feng's main energy was focused on talking to Britney on the phone.
As a result, after arguing on the phone, Su Feng and Britney tentatively decided on a name for their upcoming child in advance.
According to the results of the two people's discussion, if Britney gives birth to a boy this time, his Chinese name will be Su Hao, and his English name will be Kobe.
And if it is a girl, her Chinese name will be Su Baobao, and her English name will be Catherine.
Emmmm.
No exaggeration here, if Su Feng's parents learned that he was so casual when naming his child, then Su Feng would definitely experience a mixed doubles beating again.
However...
You may not believe it when I say it...
In Su Feng's opinion, he was simply a god at naming children.
Because you can feel Su Feng's good expectations for his son's future career just by hearing the name Su Hao.
As for the English name Kobe...
According to the naming habits of foreigners, this kind of tradition of using a good brother's name to name one's son is also a very common phenomenon.
But compared to his son's name...
Su Feng liked his daughter's name even more.
Because the name Su Baobao...
Sounds very grand.
And the English name Catherine, even sounds like this girl will definitely be a big beauty in the future.
Just...
Whether Su Feng's children will jump up and hit his knees when they grow up in the future...
This is unknown.
And just as Su Feng was immersed in the joy of becoming a father...
On the other side, after seven great battles between the Celtics and the Philadelphia Thugs, they can be considered to have successfully met the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Because of the restraint of the lineup, Duncan and Randolph, who had just left the rookie village, were still unable to get any advantage in front of Yao and Ratliff in this series.
In addition to Iverson's against-the-sky touch in the last few games...
This series...
Auerbach was really almost beaten out of a heart attack by the Philadelphia Thugs.
Fortunately, in the decisive battle between the two teams, after successfully triggering Ray Allen's "big scene passive", with the three-pointers that the gentleman's sword rained down in the final battle, the Celtics passed the Philadelphia Thugs level without any danger.
And in this series between the two teams, Yao, who was able to cut "17+9" per game, also received widespread recognition from the American media after the game.
After all, not all inside players in this league can perform like this when facing Duncan.
It's just that after failing to touch the Eastern Conference Finals floor for two consecutive years, Iverson's mood couldn't be happy no matter what.
After the game, in an interview, Iverson admitted...
No matter how many points you cut in the game, as long as you fail to win the game, it is useless work.
And when faced with some brainless questions from Chinese reporters, the young Yao also showed his domineering side.
"Losing the game is my full responsibility, because I didn't play well, so we lost."
To be honest, in Su Feng's opinion, those Chinese media who were still picking on Yao's faults after the Philadelphia Thugs were eliminated were really a bunch of scourges.
Because in this series, if it weren't for Yao's performance inside like a Optimus Prime, could the Philadelphia Thugs have fought this Celtics team to a Game 7?
Are you kidding me...
Wake up!
This is a Celtics team with Duncan, Randolph, Artest, Ray Allen, and Marbury!
But fortunately, because Yao himself has a very good ability to adjust himself, so Su Feng doesn't need to worry too much about him.
According to the schedule, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Raptors and the Celtics will start on the 24th.
In terms of physical fitness, the Raptors, who have been resting for almost a week, will have a certain advantage in this year's Eastern Conference Finals.
And on the western side, after Kidd painstakingly carried the Lakers into the Western Conference Finals...
Next, the Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be the Phoenix Suns led by Tracy McGrady's younger brother.
And according to Su Feng's eyeliner from Los Angeles...
Recently, the relationship between O'Neal and Kobe has further deteriorated...
