Chapter 1 The Next Day, At Su Feng’s Mansion...

The moment Steve Nash saw the table full of dishes that Su Feng had personally prepared for him, in Nash's own words:

What virtue or ability do I, Steve, possess to trouble Emperor Feng to cook for me?

But...

Ah! Why is this damned steak so exquisitely delicious?

"Is it good? This steak, named 'Kobe,' is my specialty," Su Feng said with a smile, looking at Nash across the table.

Nash nodded, praising, "Kobe is right, Su. In this league, I don't think anyone understands how to appreciate food more than you."

Hearing this, Su Feng chuckled and then filled a bowl of the Shi Quan Da Bu soup (Ten Tonifying Herbs Soup) that he had been brewing for two whole nights and handed it to Nash.

After a mouthful of the soup, Nash immediately felt his whole body surge with power.

Amazing.

Although this wasn’t the first time Nash had eaten Su Feng’s cooking, after recently eating too much Michelin food, Nash realized...

Su Feng’s skills seemed to have improved again.

However...

Knowing Su Feng as well as he did, Nash was very clear that there were no free lunches with Su Feng.

So, halfway through the meal, Nash asked with a curious expression, "Su, you specifically invited me here today, you must have something you want to say to me, right?"

However...

To Nash's surprise, after hearing his question, Su Feng simply spread his hands and said, "I don't have anything to say to you...

I just wanted to treat you to a meal and catch up."

Hiss——!

As expected, serving a lord is like serving a tiger!

Looking at Su Feng, Nash realized that his perspective was still too limited.

Just then, Su Feng suddenly asked Nash a question.

"Steve, who would you pick as the greatest point guard in NBA history?"

The greatest point guard?

Nash answered without hesitation, "Magic Johnson!"

Su Feng shook his head and smiled, "'Magic' debuted at his peak, but he had 'Skyhook' Jabbar, a super center, to assist him, and later, players like Worthy to serve him. What's more, 'Magic' fell before his peak due to off-court affairs. With such a career, it's hard to call him the greatest point guard in history."

"Then... John Stockton?" Nash thought for a moment and said.

"A man without a championship, how can he be the greatest in history?" Su Feng waved his hand, refuting.

"Then... Isiah Thomas?" Nash said.

"Although the 'Smiling Assassin' once fought against the gods as a mortal, his popularity and character are too poor. Therefore, even if you get Charles Barkley to pat his belly and rank him, he wouldn't be first in history," Su Feng laughed.

"Then Su... Jason Kidd, do you think he has a chance to be ranked first in history when he retires in the future?" Nash asked.

"Jason Kidd? Just a sidekick to O'Neal and Kobe, not worth mentioning," Su Feng shook his head.

Nash was stunned.

Seriously, according to Su Feng, weren't all point guards under heaven trash?

"Steve, in my opinion, the greatest point guard in NBA history, though far away, is right in front of us."

Just as Nash was lost in confusion, suddenly...

Su Feng looked at Nash with his burning gaze.

Nash: "..."

Me?

To be honest.

Nash felt that Su Feng's joke today was too big.

Because this was the greatest point guard in history!

There was no way he, Nash, could be involved in such a selection!

But then...

As Su Feng gradually pointed out his various advantages...

You know what, Nash really felt like he was floating on cloud nine.

First, Su Feng pointed out that compared to Magic, Kidd, Thomas, and Stockton, Nash could not only drive but also shoot from long range.

Judging from Nash's efficiency in the past two seasons with the Raptors, without exaggeration, why couldn't Nash take more shots himself on the court?

Secondly, on the surface, Nash's defense wasn't great...

Of course, in reality, it was just okay.

However, with a bunch of defensive-minded forwards helping him, defense wouldn't be a constraint for Nash when playing for the Raptors.

Therefore...

Steve, why are you wasting your offensive talent?

After two full years of experience, compared to the Nash of two years ago, Su Feng was very confident that as long as he gave this old Nash a chance, he could give the Raptors enough return on the court.

However, Nash had been suppressing his offensive talent in order to pass the ball to everyone.

In Su Feng's view, before Carter regained his form, if the Raptors wanted to ensure their advantage in the playoffs this season, someone had to stand up and open up a second battlefield for him.

Otherwise...

If they continued like this, it wouldn't be difficult for Su Feng to average 30+ points per game...

But at that time, not only would the shooting percentage be unsightly, but if they couldn't win the game, wouldn't he really become Sprint?

Moreover, if Nash could increase his offensive attempts in the game and achieve certain results, Su Feng would be able to score even more easily on the court.

In short, basketball is still a team sport.

In Su Feng's eyes, this season, he not only wanted to win the scoring title, but also win it beautifully.

To give a simple example.

Why in the future did people say how efficient Curry's scoring title season was, while I, Turtle, was such a poison? (I, Turtle is referring to Russell Westbrook)

The reason is simple...

Efficiency problem.

And if you look at Michael Jordan's career, you will find that in the ten scoring titles he won, he had an overall shooting percentage of over 50% five times.

In addition, Jordan's overall shooting percentage in the other four scoring title seasons, except for the 97/98 season, was also very close to 50%.

Therefore, as a mature MVP, what Su Feng was planning was more than just a scoring title.

What he was planning was to score while standing up, and you couldn't find fault with him.

And this...

It was hard to do.

Because according to the current situation of the Raptors, although Su Feng had the same ball possession as Jordan back then, as the number of games increased, you couldn't expect him to have a 69-point game every time, right?

In the long run, if Su Feng wanted to score game after game, he had to have someone who could stand up and share his firepower.

And as the saying goes, the strongest person is already in the team.

On the premise that Carter still needed time to recover, in Su Feng's view, Nash was the most suitable candidate.

As for what to do with Su Feng's iron points after he launched a high-efficiency scoring campaign?

Hey...

Didn't Su Feng's ultimate goal of hitting so many shots just to win the game, the championship, and those damn honors?

Therefore, in the face of historical honor, iron points became secondary in Su Feng's view.

All in all...

At the moment, as long as Nash could start his little engine, the Raptors could not only win time for Carter to recover before the All-Star Weekend, and time for the rookies and veterans to integrate into the team...

And at the same time, Su Feng could also happily score efficiently on the court.

Perfect!

...

On the evening of the 3rd, Boston, North Shore Garden Arena.

On this night, the Raptors ushered in the final battle of their opening three-game gauntlet...

Similar to the opening game against the Lakers, in this game, the Celtics also played against the Raptors with the attitude of playing in the Finals.

As a result, the Raptors, who were still adjusting their state, suffered their second loss of the season since the beginning of the new season.

However, after giving Nash a boost before the game, in this game, the Raptors played something completely different from the previous two games.

In comics and novels, you can often see the plot of the protagonist having a flash of inspiration and then winning the game.

But in reality, Su Feng found that most of the time, a flash of inspiration needs to be tested in practice and adjusted repeatedly before it can take effect.

For example, in this game, Nash was a little too excited at certain times.

At that time, Nash's momentum of wanting to shoot as soon as he passed halftime directly reminded Su Feng of his nephew Curry.

Of course, in order to let Nash fully feel his love for him, Su Feng did not point out Nash's mistakes on the court.

After all, Su Feng knew that he had to give Nash time to transition from an organizing point guard to a scoring and organizing point guard.

Moreover...

Judging from the extent to which Duncan and Auerbach wanted to win this night, unless the Raptors could play at their due level, otherwise...

Just go to bed and dream, you can have everything in your dreams.

Compared with the previous two seasons, this season, Su Feng felt the malice of the world towards the Raptors as soon as he came up.

He said, he just wanted to build a dynasty, did these people need to do this?

Seriously, if Su Feng hadn't been holding back in this game...

With Artest's defensive scale in this game, he also wanted to break his ribs, and Jackson, Da Ben, and Barkley would have beaten him half to death?

...

On the 4th, with a 1-2 start, the Raptors were finally able to take a breather.

In the back-to-back game against the Wizards, because Nash scored 12 points in the first quarter, Su Feng played easily and happily in the subsequent games.

In the end, the score of this game was 119 to 97. In Washington, the Raptors won by a large margin of 22 points, making their fans feel a little more at ease.

In the whole game, Su Feng scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists with a shooting percentage of more than 50%, plus 2 steals and 1 block.

Nash had "20+10" with 24 points and 11 assists.

After the game, Toronto media joked that judging from what the Raptors played this season, Nash and Su Feng were the real Gemini combination of the Raptors.

And it is worth mentioning that after all the games in the first week of the new NBA season were over...

The player who finally won the best player of the week was not O'Neal and Duncan, who led the team to a 4-0 record.

Of course, it wasn't Su Feng either.

It was Malone and Stockton, who were called "Renaissance" by Utah fans this season.

In the team's first week of the new season, the Jazz also started with a 4-0 record, and Malone was able to average "30+10" in the first week.

In addition, Stockton was able to contribute 15.3 points and 12.3 assists per game.

Therefore, when finally selecting the best player of the week, Stern also satisfied the vast number of CP lovers.

He let Malone and Stockton win the award together.

I have to say that Stern is simply a genius in hyping CP.

On the 7th, after returning to Toronto for three days of rest, the Raptors ushered in the challenge of the Bulls that night.

As a result, Nash played even more eye-catchingly in this game than in the previous game.

In the whole game, Nash, who made 6 of 6 three-pointers, not only perfectly interpreted what is called a heavenly touch, but also was always able to find Su Feng's position at the first time when Su Feng got the opportunity through off-ball movement.

In the end, the Su-Nash combination joined forces to score "60+", and the Raptors easily defeated the Bulls at home with a 33-point advantage.

On the 10th and 11th, after defeating the Bucks and Cavaliers one after another...

The chemistry between Su Feng and Nash can only be described as explosive.

If you compare the current Raptors to the Warriors in the future, then Nash is undoubtedly playing Stephen Curry.

As for Su Feng...

You can understand that he is playing the roles of Klay and Durant at the same time.

When Nash holds the ball and picks and rolls with his teammates, Su Feng will look for opportunities on the court through a wide range of running.

And when the team falls into a half-court offense and someone needs to stand up and attack strongly, Su Feng will also stand up without hesitation.

In short...

Wherever the team needs Su Feng, he will move there.

So, after all the games in the second week of the new season were over...

The judges in charge of selecting the best players of the week were in a dilemma.

Because since the start of the 00/01 season, the situation in the East and West has been like gods fighting.

At this time, Stern also felt that the NBA's best player of the week and best player of the month should be reformed.

Because there is only one spot for the best player of the week and the best player of the month...

Where is it enough to judge?

"Starting from next season, divide the best player of the week and the best player of the month into the East and West to judge," Stern said, patting the shoulder of his future successor, Mark, this day.

Hearing this, Mark quickly took out his notebook and recorded it seriously.

"But David, who should we let be selected as the best player of the week?" After finishing the recording, Mark suddenly remembered something and asked.

After thinking about it seriously for a while, Stern said: "Let the judges judge it themselves, after all, I can't help them with everything, can I?"

In the end, Kevin Garnett became the candidate favored by the judges.

The reason is that in the Timberwolves' second week of games, they repeatedly defeated strong enemies, and Garnett was able to contribute 25.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.4 steals, and 2.1 blocks per game.

However, after the results of the selection of the best NBA player of the week in the second week came out, before Su Feng could complain, O'Neal couldn't help it first.

"When did the Hawks, Kings, and Clippers become strong enemies?

I think the league just doesn't want us big players to get more honors!" O'Neal said indignantly in an interview with Los Angeles media.

After seeing O'Neal's interview report...

Su Feng always felt that O'Neal was targeting and retreating.

Because what he said made it seem like Malone and Garnett were not interior players...

...

From the 13th to the 20th, the Raptors ushered in a relatively easy schedule since the beginning of the new season.

In 8 days, they only have 3 games.

As the cooperation between Su Feng and Nash on the court has increased recently, the picture of Su Feng and Nash being inseparable in the Raptors team has also become a hot topic among Toronto fans.

"They are not only as close as brothers on the court.

Off the court, they are even more inseparable like a pair of 'lovers'.

This season, Steve and Su are definitely the strongest backcourt combination in the NBA!"

From the 13th to the 20th, in the Raptors' games against the Grizzlies, Hornets, and Bulls, because they felt that Su Feng's terrifying scoring ability had been ignored since the beginning of the new season, Toronto media even gave the title "Su Feng is in poor condition, scoring only 31 points in a single game" after the game.

Under this...

The fans who were still immersed in the new season's NBA gods fighting just noticed...

In the 10 games that have been played in the new season...

Su Feng's single-game scores in all games are above 30 points.

In the new season's scoring list, Su Feng leads the league with an average of 33.1 points per game.

In addition, his field goal percentage is 49.8%, and his three-point percentage has also reached a historical high of 43.2%.

As a result, the "old hooligan" who was still recuperating at home was once again dragged out to compare with Su Feng.

As a result...

Charles Barkley used his big mouth to prove how plastic his friendship with Jordan was.

Because in a post-game interview, Barkley insinuated that Su Feng was stronger than Jordan...

And then...

There was no then.

How could Jordan, who had already returned his EQ to God, tolerate Barkley's rebellious remarks?

Okay...

From now on, Jordan and Barkley will definitely not be friends.

As for when the two will meet again in the future?

Hey...

He, Charles Barkley, is just a fat man who can still play basketball, but has never won a championship.

Off the court, the story of Jordan and Barkley's breakup is put aside for the time being.

In November, after all the remaining games were over, the Raptors temporarily ranked third in the East with a record of 11 wins and 4 losses.

In late November, the two opponents that the Raptors lost to were the Mavericks and the Jazz.

The way the Raptors lost these two games was almost the same.

With Bibby and Stockton holding back Nash, coupled with the Raptors' overall poor state, Su Feng was also unable to touch the switch to come down to earth, and the sanctions of the back-to-back two-game road trip in the West...

In simple terms:

They didn't play well, and the opponents played well, so the Raptors suffered a losing streak.

After all the games in the first month of the new NBA season were over, the Raptors also dropped two places on ESPN's power rankings.

They went from first at the beginning of the season to third now.

In the market, the Feng Hei and Long Hei, who had been diving all the time, could also be regarded as having caught the opportunity to blacken the Raptors.

After all, although the new season Raptors have performed stably in abusing food, they have lost 4 strong dialogues.

It's a pity...

These Feng Hei and Long Hei's speeches, let alone breaking Su Feng's defense, they didn't even see Su Feng's defense.

Because for Su Feng, who has watched countless seasons in his previous life...

No one knows better than him that this Raptors team is undergoing a new wave of transformation.

Su Feng knew that as long as this Raptors team could complete its final evolution before the start of the All-Star Weekend...

Then...

It was time for him to raise the flag and establish a dynasty!

...

ps: 5000 words update is here! Mwah! I heard that there will be a New Year's Eve double monthly pass at the end of this month, so is there any little boss who can secretly leave a wave for Qiao? Of course, Qiao also needs a certain amount of guaranteed monthly passes now! Otherwise, the gap will be too big, and it will be impossible to catch up in the future!
