Silently Writing
Chapter 493 Night of Champions! A New Beginning!
Sixty-two points in three quarters.
Twenty-three assists in three quarters.
On this night of June 13, 2003, watching Su Feng and Nash, who had returned to the bench to rest after the start of the fourth quarter, everyone was curious...
If these two were given a full 48 minutes of playing time, what would they be able to accomplish on this night?
On the court, as the final quarter of this Game 4 turned into garbage time, after some quick statistics, ESPN also shared a fun fact with the fans...
That was, Su Feng, who had scored 62 points in three quarters in this game...
Had only possessed the ball for 69 seconds!
"That's too terrifying! So, he only used 69 seconds to score 62 points?"
On TNT, Smith said with a surprised look after learning of this fact.
In Su Feng's original timeline, on the night Klay Thompson exploded for 60 points in three quarters, Klay's possession time on the court was 90 seconds.
However, compared to Klay...
If Carter hadn't played so-so in this game, and Su Feng hadn't needed to force his way to the basket to draw fouls, then on this night, his possession time could have been further compressed.
An efficient scoring machine that could score even without the ball.
Unbelievable!
For fans of this era who had not yet witnessed the likes of Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant, Su Feng had become the embodiment of the word "unbelievable" in their minds.
And Nash, who had previously been considered to be riding Su Feng's coattails to win three assist titles, also reversed people's previous stereotypes of him on this night.
So...
This seemingly skinny Canadian kid...
Was the Raptors' second-in-command?
During the fourth quarter, the Raptors' players started a party on the bench.
And on the Lakers' side...
O'Neal didn't want to talk and threw a Kobe at you.
Kobe didn't want to talk and threw an O'Neal at you.
Kidd didn't want to talk and threw himself at you.
At the Staples Center, after witnessing Su Feng and Nash bury the two NBA Finals records of "Magic" and Elgin Baylor, a large number of Lakers fans still remained in the arena.
t wasn't because the Lakers fans had good mental fortitude and weren't saddened by being bull-headed in person.
It was just that, on this night, the Raptors' performance on the court had completely conquered them.
Therefore, as things stood, they also wanted to witness...
The scene of this Su Feng-era Raptors team ascending to the throne for the last time.
"We are the champions!"
After strolling around in the fourth quarter, as the clock ticked down to zero, Barkley hugged the NBA Finals game ball tightly.
And young Parker also jumped on Ben Wallace's back, and with Su Feng's permission, cut down the net that symbolized the victor for the Raptors.
Coach Lue happily held the tactical board he had received from Davis.
Old Curry was calling his two sons.
Carter and Jackson were already fighting over who would keep the O'Brien Trophy for a while.
And Jermaine O'Neal followed Su Feng and Nash dumbly.
Looking back at the past five years, from first ascending to the throne, to continuing the glory, to being disappointed for two consecutive years...
Now, another championship banner was about to rise to the rafters of the Air Canada Centre.
And no matter how much he wanted to say, in Su Feng's eyes, it was better to relax and enjoy this moment of victory.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and other places had sent congratulatory messages to Toronto.
The 2002/03 season.
NBA Champions:
————Toronto Raptors.
In the stands, Stern, who was present to supervise the battle tonight, said with emotion: "The NBA will never have a team like the Raptors again."
Under the sanctions of the super luxury tax, this summer, many NBA super teams would be forced to disband.
And among them, the Raptors, who had already been determined to lose Su Feng this summer, were the most thoroughly disbanded.
After all, in the eyes of the world, a team that lost its original core player was another team.
On the scene, during the interview, in addition to receiving blessings, the most frequently asked question to Su Feng was whether he had thought about which team he would choose in the summer.
"I already have a preliminary plan, but I want to rest for a while before considering it."
Su Feng knew that announcing his next stop in advance might disrupt Riley's previous plans.
Because don't look at how Stern was frantically compensating this Raptors team after he made the decision to leave the Raptors this season...
But if Stern really knew that he was going to the Heat...
Then the Heat might not even be able to draw a top-three pick in this year's draft lottery.
Moreover, those teams that planned to trade with the Heat next would definitely raise their prices.
You must know that Stern had never been a good person.
His support for Su Feng didn't mean that he wanted to see Su Feng dominate the NBA forever.
And for other teams...
After being dominated by Su Feng for so many years, encircling and suppressing Su Feng would inevitably become their consensus next.
Therefore, before the Heat signed Lamar Odom from the Clippers, Su Feng would not announce his next stop to the public.
"Su, we all know that you had a not-so-pleasant experience working with coach Larry Brown.
So, if there is a chance this summer, would you choose to renew your relationship with him?" On the scene, many New York reporters felt that Su Feng would definitely wear a Knicks jersey next season after learning that Su Feng already had a preliminary plan...
"I'm really looking forward to renewing my relationship with coach Larry Brown.
However, my final decision will depend on the career plan that my team has made for me.
But to be honest, the Knicks are not my first choice, because I don't want to be the next Patrick Ewing."
In order to prevent his jersey from being burned in large quantities in the summer, while continuing to praise Larry Brown, Su Feng also gave Knicks fans a heads-up in advance that he would reject the Knicks soon.
Although, burning jerseys could also increase his jersey sales...
However, as a master of emotional intelligence, Su Feng knew that if he could turn enemies into friends, why make another enemy?
And the New York reporters at the scene were immediately silent about Su Feng's statement.
As for how much Ewing wanted to kneel down to Su Feng in front of the TV?
No cap, okay? Just because of what Su Feng said, if Su Feng had anything to ask of him in the future, he would definitely help!
In addition, although Ewing didn't look very smart and had many enemies when he was playing, in order not to become the next Ewing after everyone retired...
In fact, most NBA legends were not very happy with the way Knicks fans treated Ewing.
After all, Ewing didn't have credit, but he always had hard work, right?
Therefore, Su Feng's words also won him the recognition of many legends this night.
In addition to his previous song "Legends Never Fade" to pay tribute to the NBA legends, for a time, if it weren't for Jordan's pettiness...
Then I'm afraid that if Su Feng raised his banner, half of the NBA's legendary legends would choose to follow him.
And in New York, when James Dolan learned that Su Feng had expressed his sympathy for Ewing in the interview, he was immediately panicked.
Because what Su Feng said was already very clear.
Larry Brown...
Yes, I like it very much.
But the fans in your place have problems, so it's reasonable for me not to choose you, right?
Look, what is King James' decision 1?
It's also rejecting the Knicks, one can make New Yorkers feel ashamed.
And the other will only make New Yorkers feel angry at his actions.
"What can we do now to resolve Su's misunderstanding of us?" Dolan asked after finding Larry Brown in New York as soon as possible.
"First of all, we have to give the players who have contributed to the Knicks a fairer treatment," Larry Brown replied.
And after thinking for a while, Dolan said: "I understand, I will immediately have people prepare Patrick's jersey retirement ceremony."
In Su Feng's previous life, Ewing's jersey would originally be retired in March of this year.
However, because Ewing was even more miserable in the late stage of his career in this life, there were still many Knicks fans who were unwilling to see Ewing's jersey hanging on the ceiling of Madison Square Garden.
"No, that's far from enough, we also need an apology, a formal apology," Larry Brown added.
"This is simple, anyway, the Knicks fans are not comfortable with our management for a day or two, this time we will just let them take the blame," Dolan said.
Okay...
The Knicks management was completely out of love.
Because after being used as a tool by Dolan, now they had to carry Ewing's burden.
And at the Staples Center, after Su Feng personally lifted the third championship trophy in Raptors history, in front of the TV, the Raptors fans were excited...
Almost instantly, the entire Canada was flooded with tears.
Even though they had long known that Su Feng was destined to leave after this season...
However, in the past 9 months, had the Raptors fans not dreamed that Su Feng could stay?
However...
The tide rises and falls, and the song ends and people disperse.
On the court, after receiving his third FMVP trophy of his career from "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell...
So far, Su Feng's Raptors career had come to an end.
And in the player tunnel of the Staples Center, watching Su Feng, who was holding up the FMVP trophy for the third time in his career, Kobe was applauding for Su Feng, and his teeth, which were holding the jersey, almost tore the jersey apart.
"Let's congratulate Su! On this night, he became the youngest... the third time to win the FMVP trophy in NBA history!"
Kenny Smith of TNT announced to the entire North America.
At the age of 25, he had won the Finals MVP three times.
In front of the TV, watching the man who was giving his acceptance speech in Chinese and English in the center of the stage, the Chinese people subconsciously straightened their chests.
And on the Internet, after the joke that Jordan never played a Game 7 in the Finals, the joke that Su Feng only swept the Finals...
Instantly crushed the "Old Rogue" in terms of style.
"Alas, if Tim Duncan was stronger!
Because in that case, the joke that Shaq would definitely be swept in the Finals could become a timeless classic."
On this day, the silly netizens in China and the United States lamented with regret.
……
After the Finals, Su Feng and the Raptors, who had won their third championship of their career, returned to Toronto that night.
Before saying goodbye to Toronto, Su Feng had to participate in the championship parade held in Toronto a few days later.
Before that, his team had already arranged everything for him in Miami.
According to Su Feng's request, all the facilities of Toronto's "House of Steel" would be gradually transported to the Miami branch.
As for Su Feng's mansion in Toronto, he didn't plan to sell it.
Because in case Britney wanted to recall the history of their battles in Toronto in the future, he couldn't run to Carter, right?
In addition, in the case of not being short of money, Su Feng also bought multiple houses in Beijing and Shanghai last year before the purchase restriction order came out.
Su Feng was not very interested in speculating on houses.
However, houses are something that is engraved in the DNA of every Chinese person...
If he didn't buy one or two to display, Su Feng always felt sorry for himself.
It's like, after the soil from the moon is dug back in the future, the Chinese people will be most interested in whether they can grow crops.
And in Toronto, after resting at home for two days, Su Feng also gathered his confidants in Toronto.
The days of accompanying Su Bao Bao's growth were certainly happy...
But in Su Feng's eyes, how could three FMVP trophies be enough for his daughter to play with?
Therefore, in order to be a good father, Su Feng would not slack off.
Because after completing the task of three consecutive scoring titles before, Su Feng's privilege of improving his talent had not been used, so this time he called Grover, Mancias, Frazier and others over, just to make a choice through their advice.
Unlike attributes such as jumping and speed, in the setting of the Iron Smashing system, the value of technical talent is far greater than that of physical talent.
In simple terms...
Su Feng chose to improve his jumping and speed before, and what he could improve instantly was a major item of talent.
But if he wanted to choose to improve his technical attributes...
Then in the vision and passing that both belong to the organizational talent, he could only choose one.
And this, in Su Feng's opinion, was also a very realistic setting.
Because in fact, even Michael Jordan's physical peak and technical peak were not synchronized.
And anyone with a little common sense knows that compared to the physical talent given by God...
Technical skills are not something you can learn if you want to.
For amateur basketball enthusiasts, it looks like you can look decent after a lot of hard work, but that's just looking decent.
In fact, in the NBA, even Ben Wallace can show you a fancy trick when there is no resistance.
But what about in the game?
Even Klay Thompson, who can do anything, his dribbling is not often used by fans to ridicule him?
Even a self-disciplined man like LeBron James didn't gradually usher in his technical peak until the late stage of his career?
In this life, after coming into contact with professional basketball, Su Feng realized that the saying that you will definitely be rewarded as long as you work hard on the court...
It's simply the biggest lie in the world.
Because many people forget the premise of this sentence when they use it to encourage themselves.
The premise is that you have to work hard in the right direction.
Because of the dribbling skill card he obtained at the World Championships before, he already had the "Maple's Gaud" as an auxiliary cultivation skill.
So this time, Su Feng didn't plan to waste it on dribbling.
In addition, Su Feng's current strength attribute had basically reached the theoretical limit of his current weight.
In addition to the steady improvement in flexibility in the past two years, therefore, this time Su Feng also did not plan to waste the privilege of improving his talent on strength.
t matter if he could pull his strength talent to the level of O'Neal, according to the interlocking settings of the system, he had to change his body shape to O'Neal's before he could eat the bonus brought to him by the strength talent.
And at that time, just having strength, waiting for the speed attribute to be deducted, and then being beaten like a fool?
According to Grover's evaluation of him, Su Feng knew that his current physical hardness was basically equivalent to Jordan's during the Bulls' second three-peat.
Although he was slightly inferior in flexibility, these details could be made up for by his own diligence.
So, this time, what Su Feng wanted to improve most was his organizational ability.
Because in view of his current ability to attract double teams on the court, improving his organizational ability would bring him the greatest benefits.
However...
Which ability value in this organization attribute should he choose?
"I don't think they're right."
After some debate, Frazier's advice to Su Feng quickly led Su Feng to discover a...
A bug hidden in the Iron Smashing system.
That was, if Su Feng pulled his passing talent to 120, and then in the summer, he improved his passing ability to 90 through cultivation, but his vision ability was still only in the 70s, then what was the difference between him and now?
As early as when Nash helped him open the door to passing, Su Feng had discovered...
It was not that he didn't have the awareness to pass.
It was just that he didn't have a "vision plug-in" like Nash and Kidd.
Just like on the street court, you will often marvel at how passing masters can always find fleeting opportunities on the court in the blink of an eye.
Vision is something you can't learn without talent.
And if you compare my turtle and Nash's passing, you can find...
The latter can even find gaps on the court without even observing, while the former often throws the ball directly out of the court after jumping up.
However, can you say that my turtle is unwilling to pass, or that he doesn't want to pass?
To put it bluntly, without Nash's vision, even if my turtle wants to pass, he can only force it.
Therefore, the quality of passing may be good or bad, but if he pulls his vision talent to the max...
Wouldn't that unlock his entire organizational talent?
Su Feng felt that he had found the blind spot.
"I understand... I understand everything!"
Rather than saying that this was a bug in the Iron Smashing system, it was better to say that the Iron Smashing system was deliberately set up like this.
In technical talent, such as organizational talent, vision is the core attribute of this major item!
And Su Feng only needs to pull his vision attribute to the max, and then he can improve his other attributes steadily through cultivation like his strength attribute!
Because...
If you have a hen, would you worry about not having eggs?
On this day, watching Frazier, the technical training master who helped Nash become the MVP in his previous life, Su Feng no longer hesitated.
"Ding! The host has used the privilege of improving his talent!
The host's current vision ability value is 77 (120)."
Looking at his vision potential value of up to 120 in the parentheses, Su Feng smiled and thought: "I should be the man with the strongest vision talent in the NBA now, right?"
"Ding! The host has used the privilege of checking his ability value.
Steve Nash's current vision ability value is 120 (120)."
Su Feng: "......"
Okay, Su Feng could still accept that Nash's vision ability value was 120.
After all, without 120 vision, he couldn't pass the ball with Nash's hand.
"Ding! The host has used the privilege of checking his ability value.
Jason Kidd's current vision ability value is 120 (120)."
Su Feng: "......"
Wow!
As expected of the chief point guard of this period in the NBA in his memory.
Although he is not as fancy as Nash in passing, Kidd does deserve the 120 vision ability value.
"Ding! The host has used the privilege of checking his ability value.
Chris Paul's current vision ability value is 106 (120).
Note: Because Chris Paul has not yet joined the NBA, his current ability value has not yet been converted into NBA-level attributes."
Su Feng: "......"
Well...
As his future successor, Su Feng felt that it was understandable for Paul to have 120 vision talent.
"Ding! The host has used the privilege of checking his ability value.
Kobe Bryant's current vision ability value is 89 (103)."
".......”
"No! Am I the only one who is blind on the court?"
Su Feng was anxious.
Because he had always felt that his vision ability value was about the same as Kobe's, Su Feng had never checked other people's vision ability values separately.
But today...
t know if he didn't look, but he was shocked when he looked.
He was the current number one player in the NBA, but he was actually confirmed by the system to be a "cancer"!
How could he bear this?
"But... it's also amazing to say that Kobe's vision ability value is so high?"
Looking at the vision ability value given by the system, Su Feng always felt that this Iron Smashing system was a Kobe hater.
Because doesn't that confirm that Kobe can pass, but it depends on whether he wants to?
It's a pity that my turtle is still a child now...
Otherwise, Su Feng would have to check my turtle's vision ability value to be happy.
And in the past two days, as Su Feng expected.
After his vision talent was maxed out, under Frazier's tutelage, his passing and fancy passing attributes...
The growth rate was indeed much faster than before.
Just like Su Feng's weight would affect his speed and jumping.
After the vision talent was unlocked, he could make more choices when passing the ball on the court.
And the result of such a choice was...
During training and games, as the number of times he passed correctly began to increase, the system would recognize it as effective training and convert it into Su Feng's experience points!
Although in the short term, Su Feng could not quickly grow into a top dunker by raising his jumping ability like before.
But just like Su Feng had never worried about his shooting and strength talent...
Organization attributes will no longer be a barrier for him to improve in the future.
In this way, when he collects 10 billion Iron Smashing points, upgrades the system to the next stage, and unlocks more detailed items...
He can use the next privilege of improving his talent to improve those details.
However...
Just like Su Feng's shooting skills were developed through a large number of iron shots.
If he wants to obtain a steady improvement in his organization attributes, it is not enough to rely on training alone.
Therefore...
"It seems that it's time to call Riley...
For next season's Heat point guard, just choose a dribbling tool man who can defend.
Because I am a high-potential rookie who needs the ball to grow."
After closing his ability value panel, Su Feng thought silently.
And in Miami...
When Riley, who was preparing for the draft, received a call from Su Feng...
For a moment.
Riley almost suffocated from excitement.
What are you kidding me?
Ball?
As long as Su Feng wants it, he can dribble for all 48 minutes, and Riley has no objection.
Moreover, in Riley's view, Su Feng is already so strong, but he is still thinking about how to further improve himself...
Just this kind of consciousness in training...
How could Riley not encourage him?
And on the Internet...
Just when people were still discussing how strong Su Feng's off-ball ability was...
How could they have imagined that.
The Finals game on June 13, 2003 will become Su Feng's swan song for his off-ball career.
From then on, there will be no more off-ball movement Feng in the league.
And "Miami Ball-Handling Prince", "God of Passing", "Founder of the Sewer"...
That's how he logged into his account.
……
ps: Okay, the next chapter will be "Those Things in Miami That Year".
Did anyone guess that Su Feng would go to the Heat? Hey, I didn't expect Qiao to show his cards so early this time, right?
Well, as one reader said, when the author repeatedly mentions a gun in the article, then this gun will definitely be fired.
ps2: 6600 words update brought! Qiao will post a summary of the second part later, and then wait for Qiao to slow down, let's continue to explode. In addition, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, subscriptions, please everyone!
