Chapter 18 The 18th

On the 18th, the Raptors challenged the Suns in Phoenix.

Before this game even started, online arguments had already erupted.

The reason being, in the previous Wizards versus Nets game...

Because Pierce publicly disrespected Jordan, Jordan, wielding his forty-meter blade, decisively struck Pierce down.

Then, the long-suppressed Jordan fans collectively went wild.

And, a small number of Jordan's die-hard fans...

Actually ran to forums frequented by the honey fans to gloat.

As a result, these past two days...

As soon as you went online, you could find the honey fans bashing the Jordan fans.

Seriously...

What's so great about your Michael Jordan?

So he beat Pierce?

Is Pierce even that strong?

Do you know how Su Feng educated Pierce last season?

No?

Then all Jordan fans should go and review "From Provoking Su Feng to Getting Beaten 8 to 67"!

In short, with the sincere cooperation of six billion honey fans worldwide, the Jordan fans, who had barely celebrated the New Year once, retreated again.

Pitiful!

When have Jordan's supporters ever been treated like this?

Look, before Stephen A. Smith even emerged, people had already started calling Jordan a Carter pLus.

And what's even funnier is that when Carter heard people call Jordan his upgraded version...

On the 18th, before the game against the Suns, Carter said in an interview:

"Michael Jordan?

I don't think he's my upgraded version. Besides, I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan.

I am who I am, I am your Vince Carter!"

Are you kidding me?

He, Carter, is Su Feng's right-hand man...

Why should Jordan be compared to him?

Oh?

You say Jordan has six rings?

So what?

If it weren't for piggybacking on Pippen first, and then Su Feng, would Jordan have those six rings?

Pippen: Oh, if you want to talk about that, I'm all ears.

It has to be said that ever since Su Feng's sudden rise to prominence in this life, Jordan's historical status is completely different from what he remembered.

However, before his own godhood is fully formed...

Su Feng knows very well that Jordan, as the "God of Basketball"...

Is more beneficial to him than "58 Jordan."

Therefore, when everyone else is bashing Jordan like crazy, and even wanting to spit on him, Su Feng has become the "number one Jordan cheerleader" in the league.

"I think people are too harsh on Michael this season.

Admittedly, his current strength is far from what it used to be.

However, we shouldn't use the current Michael to deny the Michael of the past.

In my mind, he is the 'God of Basketball,' the greatest basketball player on this planet!"

Come on, Michael!

You can't "hang up" so early!

At least, before I surpass you, you have to stand there properly, as a monument admired by all!

And in New York, when Stern learned of Su Feng's evaluation...

For some reason...

The president always felt that he was finding Su Feng more and more pleasing to the eye lately.

As everyone knows, in the long history of the nBA, favoring the old over the new and favoring the new over the old have never been suddenly invented.

In fact, back when Jordan was dominating the league, people often compared Magic and Jabbar to him.

And in all kinds of debates, what Stern disliked most were the old players who refused to support the younger generation, and the younger generation who disrespected their predecessors.

Because this kind of repeated internal friction is not only not conducive to Stern shaping the next generation of stars, but also not conducive to the healthy development of the league in the future.

Stern is happy to see people touting the stars he has promoted, and also likes to provoke all kinds of comparisons behind the scenes.

But, the premise is...

After such discussions, Stern would rather see generous seniors willing to take the initiative to help the younger generation.

And the young juniors should also be more respectful of their predecessors after benefiting.

Therefore, when he noticed Su Feng's evaluation of Jordan, Stern felt...

That he had indeed supported the right person back then.

Just take the genius from Ohio who has already entered Stern's field of vision...

In Stern's view, whether on or off the court, Su Feng has far exceeded the responsibilities he should bear for the nBA.

And this is what he, Stern, wants...

The "God of Basketball."

...

On the evening of the 18th, in Phoenix, the Raptors and the Suns launched a master-disciple shootout.

As a coach from the Raptors system, this season, under the leadership of D'Antoni, the Suns are currently ranked second in the league in terms of offensive firepower with an average of 113 points per game.

And as D'Antoni's teacher, Davis's Raptors are the team that ranks first on the firepower list.

The fans in Phoenix enjoyed this game.

Because from the first minute to the last minute of the game, the Suns and the Raptors never stopped attacking each other.

The only thing that made the fans feel a little regretful was...

That Su Feng and McGrady missed a few too many shots in the game.

On the current scoring list, McGrady, Iverson, and Su Feng are ranked in the top three. Therefore, before the start of this game, the matchup between McGrady and Su Feng was also the focus of people's attention.

However...

On the court, these two super scorers seemed to be deliberately trying to upset the fans...

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

From the first few weeks of the new season, Su Feng's shooting percentage has been consistently good one game, bad the next.

This is also related to the muscle strengthening he did in the summer.

In Su Feng's previous life, in addition to James, Curry also encountered this situation after gaining weight in the future.

So now the question is.

Since strengthening muscles and gaining weight can bring so many disadvantages, wouldn't it be better not to strengthen muscles and not to gain weight?

Of course not!

Because under the premise that Su Feng's body can withstand it, if he doesn't work hard in this direction, he will never be able to go further.

To put it bluntly, this is the price you have to pay in order to grow.

And the only way to solve it is to run in through the game and slowly regain that smooth feel.

Look, McGrady ran into a wall in this game, didn't he?

Under Su Feng's "devilish entanglement," because his confrontation was not as good as Su Feng's, McGrady had to increase the difficulty of both his layups and shots.

As a result, McGrady's "Schrödinger's touch" was successfully awakened by Su Feng in this game.

"Hiss... Does Tracy also have 20,000 missed shots now?

Then how many missed shots did I lose in the past summer?"

That night, after the game against the Suns, looking at the exhausted McGrady, Su Feng felt that he could no longer let McGrady and Kobe go on dates alone in the future.

In the end, 127 to 119, the Raptors defeated the Suns on the road and continued to lead the league.

In this game, Su Feng made 10 of 25 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 29 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

On the other side, McGrady made 8 of 24 shots, and only scored 23 points including free throws and three-pointers.

...

On the 20th, the Raptors, who had finished their Western Conference tour, returned to the Eastern Conference.

In Toronto, they welcomed the challenge of the Pistons.

This game was also Rivers' homecoming battle.

As a result, as soon as the first quarter started, pre-swing, leaning back, drifting...

Stackhouse, a general in the Pistons' lineup, once peed on the Raptors fans at the scene.

This season, after trading for Billups, you have to say, Stackhouse's efficiency on the court has really improved a lot.

In addition, what makes Popovich feel heartbroken is...

After coming to the Motor City, playing outside is still playing, but compared to before, Billups' attitude has become much more correct.

In the words of this "flounder" himself, he has turned over a new leaf and plans to start over in the Motor City...

And now...

Popovich was so angry.

Because when you were in the Spurs, why didn't you listen obediently?

Good fellow!

Just after changing teams, you gave me a "prodigal son returns"?

Popovich, who was stabbed in the heart in various ways in the second half of this year, will not be mentioned for the time being.

On the court, Stackhouse scored 17 points in the first quarter alone.

However, in the second quarter, after returning in the second half, Stackhouse, who had been "sitting cold," quickly regained himself.

In fact, this phenomenon is very common in the nBA.

Because in many games, players who score a lot of points in a certain quarter may not necessarily score a lot of points in the end.

If you often watch nBA games, you will find that many players who score a dozen points in the first quarter, in the end, their total score is only about twenty points.

And even more, it is possible that they will not score a single point in the next game.

After all, players' scores on the court are not evenly distributed.

Look, take this game as an example.

In the first half, Su Feng only scored 7 points due to limited shooting opportunities.

However, in the third quarter, when there were 9 minutes and 21 seconds left in the quarter...

As Su Feng opened the scoring account with an intercontinental missile, Su Feng scored 21 points in the single quarter in the next quarter.

And what about Stackhouse, who was in hot form before?

In the fourth quarter, when the timer went to zero, the final score of this player, who was once regarded as a god in the first quarter, was only 24 points.

And this guy's later misses had nothing to do with Su Feng.

Because in this game, the player responsible for defending him has always been Carter.

No way...

In the past two years, with the growth of McGrady and Kobe, Su Feng is no longer interested in Stackhouse and the like.

...

In November, in the following games, the Raptors won all the games except for one loss to the Knicks.

And now, James Dolan, who strongly invited Larry Brown to coach in New York in the summer, was overjoyed.

Because in Dolan's view, Brown was able to lead the team to defeat the Raptors, isn't that enough to show his coaching ability?

However, Dolan may not believe it when he says it...

In fact, the Raptors lost this game purely because they played too casually in the game.

In the new season, because the Raptors' group of second leaders are in better condition than each other, it has become commonplace for this group of second leaders to compete to show off their skills in many games.

For example, can you believe that in this game against the Knicks, O'Neal Jr. threw a sniper from outside the three-point line a full 8 times?

And Nash even had as many as 7 turnovers in order to show off his fancy no-look pass.

As for Carter, who was slightly more normal, he also threw a lot of intercontinental missiles in this game.

As a result, the Knicks, who played steadily, seized the opportunity and finally narrowly defeated the Raptors by 5 points at home.

And originally...

Su Feng also wanted to persuade this group of second leaders in the game.

But...

Because no matter how casual the Raptors are, the Knicks will not widen the point difference too much, so Jie Bo ah...

If you want to blame Jie Bo, you have to blame the Knicks for not being able to fight.

After all, there are 82 regular season games in the nBA season, and Su Feng can't ask his teammates to fight like they are playing in the finals every game.

Moreover, for the Raptors, who have already created the best record in history, in the regular season, if you don't let this group of players freely play on the court, it will only have the opposite effect.

As the saying goes, the key is to be relaxed and measured.

Sometimes it's too tight, and when you look back, you have to find lubricant.

On December 1st, the nBA officially announced the ownership of the major awards in November.

Paul Gasol from the Grizzlies was named the Western Conference's first monthly Rookie of the Month with an average of 17.8 points and 8.8 rebounds.

Randolph, who played for the Celtics, was named the Eastern Conference's first monthly Rookie of the Month with an average of 8.8 points and 7.2 rebounds.

As for the Eastern Conference's Player of the Month, it was naturally won by Su Feng, who is currently leading the Raptors to lead the league.

In the first month of the new season, Su Feng averaged 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game.

His field goal percentage was 48.5%, his three-point percentage was 37.5%, and his free throw percentage was 90%.

Judging from the average score, this season, with the help of his teammates, Su Feng wants to replicate his rampage performance last season...

It would be possible to break Carter or O'Neal Jr.'s legs.

However, considering that Davis has already formulated a strict and detailed rotation plan for the Raptors' group of second leaders this season, the second half is the key node for Su Feng to sprint for the scoring title.

Anyway, in the nBA, as long as your team leader doesn't rotate, Stern will only turn a blind eye.

And in the Western Conference, Kobe was elected as the Western Conference Player of the Month for the first month.

To be honest, when the league announced this selection result...

There were really a lot of fans who haven't watched the game much recently who thought Stern was deliberately hyping the Cp of "Raul Melion Twins."

But in fact, if it weren't for Kobe's sudden rampage in November, the Lakers would probably have fallen behind by now.

In mid-November, in a game against the Timberwolves, O'Neal had to withdraw from the game due to a sprained right big toe.

According to the Lakers team doctor's examination after the game, O'Neal will miss the Lakers' next three to five weeks of games.

So, Kobe in the Lakers' next game...

"Comfortable."

In order to prove his strength to someone during O'Neal's absence...

In this life, Kobe, who had too much contact with someone, even learned from someone and gave a big gift to his Lakers teammates on November 17th.

Moreover, in order to get more feeding from Kidd, Kobe even activated Su's "soul chicken soup Dafa" on and off the court.

"Jason, I always thought that John Stockton is not worth mentioning compared to you."

"Huh? Steve Nash? Wake up, his assists are all brushed out, and your assists are real!"

"Elvin Johnson? Indeed, 'Magic' is my idol, but now, you are about to become my idol."

Seriously, when Su Feng learned from Wang Zhizhi about Kobe's usual conversations with Kidd, Su Feng almost thought that this Kobe was possessed.

But after careful consideration...

Su Feng also knew that this Kobe in this life was no longer the Kobe he remembered.

In addition, he has been forced tighter by himself and McGrady recently, so Kobe naturally has to find a way to take some action on the court to prove himself.

As a result, after Kobe successfully settled his teammates, in late November...

O'Neal was embarrassed.

Because in the 8 games that O'Neal was absent, the Lakers only lost one game.

Moreover, even many Los Angeles media believe that...

After O'Neal returns, Jackson should also let Kobe be the Lakers' first offensive point on the court.

And in November, with this wave of late-coming performance, Kobe also successfully defeated McGrady in the selection, averaging 27.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.0 steals, and 0.8 blocks, and was elected as the Western Conference's Player of the Month for the first month.

However, just at this moment when the Lakers seemed calm on the surface...

Su Feng smelled the smell of the fuse that was about to explode in this Lakers team.

Because compared to the clueless Kobe in his previous life, in this life, after copying a wave of Su Feng's homework, this Kobe has seriously aroused O'Neal's vigilance.

As the Lakers' big leader, when you learn about Kobe's series of actions, if you are O'Neal, what would you think?

The answer is simple.

That is naturally, I am still at my peak, and you kid wants to come and seize power from me?

In addition, although Kobe's emotional intelligence seems higher in some aspects, his one-track mind has not changed.

Therefore, under the praise of the Los Angeles media, Kobe also began to feel that...

It seems that he is more suitable to be the big leader of this Lakers team than O'Neal...

And originally, Jackson, who should have stood up to adjust the "ok" relationship at this time...

His attitude towards "ok" also began to become "ambiguous."

Just like a post Su Feng saw on a certain Pu in his previous life, when "ok" fell apart, Phil Jackson was definitely the snowflake that could not escape the relationship.

In order to take the opportunity to completely control this Lakers team, Jackson told O'Neal to take good care of his injuries, and on the other hand?

"In the next game, Kobe will be our number one scoring point!"

As everyone knows, some habits and tactical instructions, once released, are difficult to take back.

Especially for...

Kobe, who is initially feeling the joy of "unlimited firing."

In a trance, after Jackson gradually awakened the dnA in his bones...

In the Lakers' recent games, where can you still see the shadow of the "Pennsylvania Magician" on this Kobe?

Moreover, facing the media's deliberate provocation, Jackson did not take the initiative to guide the public opinion away.

And as an observer, Su Feng knew very well...

This group of Los Angeles media people who only want royalties are unlocking the seal that he personally pasted on.

...

In December, in addition to playing well in the game, Su Feng also paid a little attention to the recent situation of the few teams that he may choose for his "Decision One" in the future.

As a result, among these teams, the most satisfying to Su Feng is still the Heat.

In order to squeeze out Mourning's last value, this season, after this "Kidney Fighter" returned from injury, Riley decisively let the Heat's other players start a crazy feeding mode for Mourning.

Although Riley's behavior is almost without enthusiasm and also inhuman...

But for the Heat, as long as they can get rid of Mourning and exchange for some valuable chips, it is only a matter of time before this Heat team takes off.

Of course, in the future, after Mourning ends his battle with kidney disease, Riley finally extended an olive branch to him.

Therefore...

You can only say that Mourning and Riley, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

In addition, in this year's Raptors versus Heat game, Su Feng clearly felt...

Before the game, Riley definitely asked this group of Heat players not to play too hard.

After all, in his Riley's words, the No. 23 on the opposite side is his baby in the future. If the Heat uses iron-blooded carousels to beat him badly, then who will he, Riley, find to return the goods to?

"It's strange, is this still the Heat I remember?"

This day, Davis, who didn't know that his head would be green, muttered to himself, stroking his fat chin.

"In my opinion, John is already one of the greatest head coaches in the league. And he and the Raptors he leads have created all kinds of new tactics in the past few years." After the game, in an interview, Riley also changed his previous attitude towards Davis and praised Davis by name.

On the 2nd, the Raptors challenged the Celtics at the North Shore Garden Arena.

As arch-rivals for the past few seasons, in this life, there are so many topics between the Raptors and the Celtics that they can't finish talking about them.

Judging from Su Feng and Duncan's past 32 career records, if these two people stay in the Eastern Conference in the future, they may even join forces to create a new historical record in the future.

That is, the pair with the most fencing times in nBA history.

And if Su Feng remembers correctly...

Originally, it should have been Nowitzki, who had 90 encounters with him, who would become Duncan's nemesis.

But in this life...

"You cut your hair short, I feel it's not as good-looking as before."

This day, when reminiscing with Su Feng before the game, Duncan said to Su Feng with a lost look.

And hearing this...

Touching the crew cut that Da Ben had recently given himself, Su Feng always felt that Duncan's big hand might reach out at any time.

This season, after adding the rookie Randolph, the Celtics' inside strength is terrifying.

Because although Randolph has just left the novice village, but you must know that next to him is a full-level monster.

In addition, there is Auerbach, who is like a father, on weekdays...

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, this year, without any accidents, there is more than a 90% probability that the championship this season will be won by a team from the Eastern Conference.

And the Celtics and the Raptors...

Are the two teams most likely to win the championship.

On the court, after the two teams finished their warm-up, the big screen gave the starting lineups for the two teams tonight.

Celtics: Randolph, Duncan, Artest, Ray Allen, Marbury.

Raptors: Four second leaders plus Su Feng.

In the center of the court, O'Neal Jr. and Duncan are responsible for jumping the ball to start the game.

In the new season, after O'Neal Jr. returned from injury, he took the initiative to propose to Da Ben that when encountering opponents that Da Ben definitely couldn't jump over, he would be responsible for jumping the ball for the Raptors.

And originally, as a center with an idol burden, Da Ben wanted to reject O'Neal Jr..

However, as a second leader with responsibility and responsibility, Da Ben also felt that what O'Neal Jr. said made sense.

As a result, only a little over a month into the new season, the Raptors' fast-break group will never be able to return to the past.

Because the feeling of being able to play the first attack in the game...

Is so wonderful!

Bang!

On the court, the quick-witted Iron-Blooded Bubble Dragon successfully got the first attack for the Raptors.

Nash quickly dribbled the ball over half court, taking advantage of the Celtics' foothold to stabilize, and transferred the ball to Carter's hand on the right wing.

And after Carter got the ball, he first lifted the ball for a probing step, and then threw out an unreasonable Carter-style three-pointer!

In front of the TV, Stephen Curry has already shown an adoring look at Carter!

gtmd dunk!

I must shoot like Uncle Carter in the future!

At this moment, Dell Curry, who is sitting next to the Raptors' water dispenser, absolutely can't imagine that the big account he had already ruined has been guided back by the world line again...

Shua!

Carter hit a three-pointer.

And aside, Su Feng, who originally wanted to kick Carter, also turned from anger to smile in an instant, and said to Carter:

"Vince, I said long ago, if you play like this, even Michael Jordan can only carry your shoes."

Looking at Su Feng, Carter proudly raised the corners of his mouth, "I think so too, Su.

I recently discovered that I am actually a shooter!"

Pfft!

Okay...

Judging from the composition of your score after your fall to earth in the future, you really seem to be a shooter.

On the court, the game continued, with Marbury and Duncan executing pick-and-roll tactics at the high post on the Celtics' side.

And on the other side, Randolph shook his fat and sat away from Carter, who was guarding Ray Allen.

The Raptors' attention was attracted by the Celtics' high-post pick-and-roll, and no one noticed that Ray Allen had been lying in ambush at the bottom corner.

It wasn't until Marbury passed the ball to Ray Allen that the Raptors' players noticed that...

They actually missed the player with the greatest outside threat on the Celtics' side.

Shua!

Ray Allen also returned a three-pointer to the Raptors.

The North Shore Garden Arena suddenly cheered.

3 to 3.

In the new season, Ray Allen can average 3.2 three-pointers in the game, and his three-point percentage is as high as 44.5%...

Not bragging...

espn really didn't rank randomly when ranking the shooting guards in the new season.

Because this "Gentleman's Sword" just kills people invisibly.

The Raptors attacked, and Artest, who was beaten last season, was obviously still healing his wounds this season.

However, without Artest's provocation, Su Feng always felt that the game with the Celtics lacked a bit of flavor...

So, looking at this Artest who is starting from the heart in front of him, Su Feng smiled and said, "Was your xx thrown in the toilet by you?"

Artest: "???"

Seriously...

Senior Su...

Bah! Su Thief, I'm not spitting on you, and you're still uncomfortable, right?

As a black player, the most unacceptable thing for people like Artest on the court is others making jokes about him in that area.

Therefore, after being stimulated by Su Feng, Artest quickly helped Su Feng unlock his "Grinding King Seal."

Thank you Artest for sending a key to unlock the seal!

However, on the court, don't look at Su Feng and Artest arguing here...

In fact, in this attack, the Raptors' main offensive direction was on O'Neal Jr.'s side.

Facing Duncan, the confident O'Neal Jr. hit a dry pull-up jumper at the high post.

5 to 3.

In Su Feng's previous life, judging from the career record of O'Neal Jr. and Duncan, most of the time, this Iron-Blooded Bubble Dragon was beaten by Duncan.

However, everything is also a matter of one or two exceptions.

It's the Celtics' turn to attack.

It was still Duncan and Marbury pick-and-rolling at the high post, and Randolph was covering Ray Allen on the wing.

As a result, in the instant that Carter was squeezed away by Randolph, Su Feng quickly switched to Ray Allen's front.

But...

After noticing that Su Feng was pulled away by Ray Allen, Marbury tore through Nash's defense line directly from the high post.

Shua!

Marbury hit a jump shot from the free throw line.

5 to 5.

Coming back, the Raptors attacked, and Nash's riding shot after the pick-and-roll went out of the basket.

Duncan protected the rebound, and the Celtics quickly organized a counterattack.

Ray Allen fast-breaked and scored, 5 to 7.

In the first quarter, in the first six minutes of the battle between the two teams, the high-quality offensive and defensive battles made the fans in the stadium and in front of the TV shout with excitement.

However...

In front of the TV, Kobe, who happened to have no game tonight, slightly raised the corners of his mouth after seeing Su Feng, who has not scored a single point yet:

"Is this the Su who is as famous as me? How come he hasn't scored a single point after playing for half a quarter?"

Last night, in a game against the Trail Blazers, Kobe broke the record and scored a new career-high 56 points.

However, to Kobe's annoyance, on his record night, he not only couldn't get through to McGrady's phone...

And even...

Even Su Feng's phone was turned off.

And now, Kobe was very explosive.

However...

Tonight, after seeing Su Feng being "defended to death" by a mere Artest, Kobe was happy.

Because sure enough, the banner of the outside line in this league will have to be carried by him in the future.

What Iverson, Su Feng, McGrady...

What are they worth mentioning?

"Alas, the career of a master is so boring and lonely."

At the North Shore Garden Arena, after the official timeout, the Raptors took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

Young general Parker replaced Carter.

The Raptors switched to playing with two point guards.

As a result, Parker left a very bad impression on Duncan as soon as he came on the court.

Because in a layup, he was slapped out of the baseline by Duncan, the young Parker glared at Duncan unwillingly.

And at this time...

Aside, Su Feng had already covered his face with one hand.

Because you said what kind of sins are these!

Duncan and Parker, who should have been teammates...

Where is the kind of friendship between "gdp" in Su Feng's memory now?

"If Ginobili dunks on Duncan in the game in the future... that would be too interesting."

At this moment, Su Feng silently sighed.

On the court, because the Raptors only had 4 seconds left to attack, O'Neal Jr. decisively passed the ball to Su Feng when serving the baseline ball.

As the second leader of the Raptors, O'Neal Jr. knows that the second leader who knows how to pass the buck to the big leader is the real excellent second leader.

As for the big leader who always likes to pass the buck to the second leader in the game?

Hey...

You said in this world, where would there be a big leader with such a black heart?

Shua!

On the court, Su Feng drifted and hit a dry pull-up jumper!

15 to 15.

"This is unscientific!"

And in front of the TV, watching Su Feng's high-difficulty goal, Kobe suddenly felt unhappy again...
