Chapter 1 The Busiest Moment

July 1st, at midnight, with the official opening of the NBA free agent market, the busiest time of the year for basketball reporters had arrived.

Because this year's free agent market had so many big fish that you couldn't even count them all, whoever could grab the first-hand information would mean that their media outlet would be the first to seize the high ground of public opinion.

As an NBA columnist, Barbas had brewed his coffee early, ready to grind for three days and three nights.

However, from midnight until morning...

This year's free agent market was quieter than people had imagined.

"According to NBA official news, the Miami Heat officially signed restricted free agent Lamar Odom from the Los Angeles Clippers with a six-year, $71.7 million contract.

Earlier, the Clippers officially confirmed to the league that they would not match the Heat's offer for Lamar.

In addition, in an interview, Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor said that Pat Riley was disrupting the NBA market price because Lamar was simply not worth the price in his opinion."

What the f*ck!?

At 10 a.m. on July 1st, just as Barbas was about to fall asleep, he was immediately alarmed by this news revealed by other media outlets.

Because the feeling of watching others grab the headlines was just too uncomfortable.

"This should be a B-level signing.

Pat Riley is not the kind of coach who is willing to keep tanking.

Lamar's arrival will be a good addition to the Heat.

As for Lamar's annual salary of more than $10 million in the later years...

As long as he can continue his performance in the 02/03 season, then he is worth the price."

Alright...

Now he can only follow behind others and write some comments.

In the NBA, reporters usually rely on connections to grab news.

But...

Why is it that ten hours have passed...

And his good friends haven't even sent him a text message?

Barbas was going crazy.

And just as he was about to get up to brew another cup of coffee and come back to type on the keyboard...

Suddenly, he received a phone call that caught him completely off guard.

Bill Duffy?

The agent of Su Feng, Nash, and Yao Ming?

"King asked me to call and ask you...

Are you interested in reporting on the decision that King is about to make?"

Barbas: "!!!"

"Please tell King that I am always willing to serve him."

After sorting out his emotions, Barbas, who had already thrown away the coffee cup in his hand, quickly replied.

...

Miami, Florida, USA, 3:30 p.m. local time.

Just as the citizens of Miami were enjoying the Florida sunshine and beaches as usual...

A sudden piece of news...

Almost instantly made the city boil.

Miami, nicknamed "God's Waiting Room," is one of the most popular cities for retirees to live in the United States.

It must be said that Riley really chose a good place after leaving the Knicks that year.

As early as last year, when he came to Miami for commercial activities, Su Feng had stood on the bridge and looked out over Biscayne Bay.

In the Indian language, Biscayne means the place where the moon first rises.

And now, Su Feng has given Miami a new meaning.

—"The Land Where Hope Rises."

"According to espn columnist Barbas...

After choosing to opt out of his '4+1' contract with the Toronto Raptors, Su has reached a preliminary agreement with the Miami Heat.

According to the agreement, Su will receive a contract worth nearly 100 million with a term of five years!"

"Miami Heat? Is Su really going to the Miami Heat?"

"No way, no way, the Heat have been terrible for almost two years, there's no way Su would choose the Heat, right?"

"If this news is true, can we look forward to the future of the Miami Heat?"

Online, forums in both China and the United States instantly exploded.

Just as many Miami citizens thought this was fake news...

Miami, Florida, 4:30 p.m. local time.

Almost all of the major television stations in North America simultaneously cut off all of their television programs.

The last time there was such a grand occasion was when Britney and Su Feng announced that they were having a child.

On TV, when Su Feng's figure appeared, people quickly recovered from their bewilderment.

Only by being there can you truly experience the magnitude of the impact that Su Feng brought to the people of this era on this summer afternoon in 2003.

Su Feng officially announced his decision through the media!

New York, the NBA executives who had already begun formulating next season's schedule and broadcast plans, immediately changed the Heat's national broadcast games from 8 to 25.

After some deliberation, this broadcast plan was changed from 25 games to 38 games!

At the same time, the seven major North American gambling companies urgently revised the Miami Heat's odds of winning the championship next season.

After all, if the Heat were to win the championship next season, wouldn't these gambling companies be overwhelmed by gamblers?

The Miami Heat's ticket inquiry phone lines were overwhelmed within 15 minutes.

And the Heat's season tickets for the next few years were sold out in 10 minutes.

All newspapers and magazines have pre-edited pictures of Su Feng wearing the Heat's number 23 jersey.

From the beach to the shopping malls, hours later, a large number of Miami citizens flocked to the American Airlines Arena.

When King reigns over Miami...

Which Heat fan wouldn't be excited about this?

Within 24 hours, the Heat's market value almost doubled.

On the evening of the 1st, Beijing time, the official media of the Rabbit Country also reported the news that the people of the Rice Country were going crazy because of a King Rabbit on "News Broadcast."

After the "Sports News" program was broadcast on Sports Channel 5, "Fifth Young Master" specially made a four-hour popular science introduction to the Heat.

And the "Sixth Princess" next door broadcasted a special documentary about Su Feng in the Toronto Raptors on the same night:

————"I Came, I Saw, I Conquered."

According to the programmers of this era, after the fact...

From the afternoon of the 1st to the early morning of the 2nd, they worked tirelessly for more than a dozen hours to restore the paralyzed network to normal operation.

"For the Miami Heat, this will be a day destined to be recorded in history!

I'm glad that Su finally chose the Miami Heat among many teams."

On the 2nd, when Riley appeared in a suit at the press conference, people found that this guy seemed to have become 20 years younger overnight.

And in the streets, a large-scale assassination campaign against Riley also began quietly.

"Why is that Pat Riley qualified to coach Su?"

"Pat Riley is just a hypocrite, he is worthy of coaching 'the.king'?"

"gtmd Elgin Baylor, are you a pig?

Why did you let Lamar Odom go so cheaply?"

New York, Olympic Tower, NBA headquarters.

Stern was completely unexpected about Su Feng's final decision.

Because for a player who is at the peak of his career...

Choosing to join a team that was at the bottom of the league last season...

How much courage does it take to do this?

Alright...

Now, in Stern's opinion, why does he need to suppress Su Feng?

If he doesn't praise him well...

What if Su Feng's godhood collapses like Jordan's? What will Stern do then?

But after some deliberation...

If you don't consider Su Feng's record for a long time in the future, then in Stern's opinion, after Su Feng announced that he joined the Heat, it is indeed a good thing for the overall pattern of the league.

It's just...

It's just hard for Su Feng.

…

So now the question is.

Is Su Feng's life really that "hard"?

The answer is of course no.

On the 3rd, Nike officially announced that they would launch two new Su Feng shoes in the new season.

One is the "Phenomenon: Passionate Summer" with the Miami team's uniform color as the main color.

The other is "The Promise of That Year", a joint name between Su Feng and James.

Because James' influence is too great, Su Feng's previous idea of recruiting him into the "Phenomenon Series" can only be an idea.

As Su Feng remembered, before the draft, James signed a sky-high agreement with Nike worth more than 90 million US dollars.

It's a pity...

Because the appearance of this shoe is quite average, even Su Feng, a loyal James fan, has never bought this shoe.

Of course, according to many friends who have worn the LeBron series, this shoe is quite comfortable to wear.

Although he failed to make James his tool for selling shoes...

However, this summer, the "Phenomenon" series still ushered in new members.

Before the draft, "Phenomenon" signed Carmelo Anthony from Syracuse University with a 5-year, 50 million US dollar contract.

According to this agreement, as long as Gua can enter the All-Star twice in these five years, this agreement will automatically become a lifetime agreement.

According to Su Feng's meaning, Anthony will also get his exclusive shoes under the "Phenomenon".

That is: "Sweet Melon" branch.

Look, what is it called becoming a successful person in the eyes of others before playing in the NBA?

When he got the sincere contract from "Phenomenon", Anthony, who happened to be living in the same hotel as James, almost ran to the next door and hugged James and kissed him.

Because if it wasn't for His Royal Highness "Prince Jin" to introduce him, how could he, a mere newbie, get the "King Wu" title bestowed by His Majesty the King?

As for Chris Paul, who is planning to go to university for two years...

After learning about the agreement signed between Anthony and "Phenomenon", his whole person has almost become Su Feng's shape.

Because you say such a contract...

How many fried chicken can you buy?

When he learned that Paul hoped to endorse the "Phenomenon" series in the future, Su Feng would not say to Paul like Jordan, "You are not worthy to wear A Cone".

In fact, in addition to Xiao Yao's "Great Wall" branch, the "Phenomenon" series has surpassed "A Cone" in market share as early as last year because the "Phenomenon" series of shoes all have high value.

Among them, Carter's "Half-Human, Half-God" series has become the no.1 in the American market, just as Su Feng expected.

However, considering that Carter's popularity may decline at any time due to the Trit gas, spreading the net wide is the most important thing in Su Feng's eyes.

Therefore, if Paul still does not intend to change his original intention when participating in the draft...

Then the "Brother Pao" branch of the "Phenomenon" series, who else is there other than Brother Pao?

It is worth mentioning that Kobe was very angry when he helped Su Feng move this day.

"Adidas just told me through my agent...

They hope that I can participate in a shoe launch event in Europe with Tracy this summer." Kobe said, looking at Su Feng.

"And then?"

"Then...they actually told me that at this shoe launch event, let me cooperate with Tracy as much as possible!" Kobe said angrily.

Ah this!

Sure enough, it is Adidas!

In Su Feng's previous life, even without the "Eagle County Incident", Adidas at this time also focused its main energy on McGrady.

Maybe only fans with a slightly longer history of watching the game may know that McGrady has a nickname at this time, called...

——"Adidas King".

Of course, Adidas doesn't really dislike Kobe.

It's just because Kobe likes to give pointers to designers when designing shoes.

As a result, the shoes designed each time are either strangely shaped or do not conform to Adidas' traditional aesthetics.

As a result, Adidas has always had mixed feelings about Kobe's endorsement.

In addition, compared to Kobe's own professional attitude, he did not do as well as McGrady in many aspects when he endorsed Adidas.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, Kobe's shoe contract will expire in the summer of 04...

So...

"Why don't you come to 'Phenomenon' after your contract expires!

Look, as long as you are willing to come to 'Phenomenon', I will let you design all your shoes yourself, how about that?" Su Feng said, patting Kobe on the shoulder and smiling.

Hearing this, Kobe immediately rejected Su Feng's proposal.

Because asking him to become the spokesperson of "Phenomenon" is like asking him to be a cleaner in the toilet?

"I've made up my mind, I won't go to Adidas' shoe promotion event this summer.

When you finish moving, I need to educate you well on the training ground." Kobe said, looking at Su Feng.

Alright...

Regarding Kobe's decision, Su Feng knew that this guy would be abandoned by Adidas 100% next year.

It's a pity...

Because Nike has a serious "virgin complex" when it comes to choosing shoe spokespersons, it is difficult for outsiders like Kobe to get the same treatment as Su Feng and James, who are from their own family.

"Hey! Wait! Speaking of which, I can also let Stephen endorse my 'Phenomenon' series in the future!

Wear a fart Under Armour, come to my uncle to receive a lifetime sky-high agreement, isn't it fragrant?"

This day, after suddenly thinking of his nephews...

Su Feng always felt that he would not have to worry about food and drink in the future even if he only relied on selling shoes.

…

On the 4th, Su Feng officially arrived in Miami.

According to the "Su Feng Clause" and Su Feng's current career years, after completing the signing with the Heat this time, he will get a maximum salary contract with a total value of 97 million US dollars, a starting salary of 15.75 million US dollars, and a total term of five years.

Because there is no "Bird Clause" after changing teams, Su Feng's salary increase in the next few years will be slightly less than the contract he renewed with the Raptors.

As in the Raptors era, Su Feng also requested to add a "trade veto" to this contract when signing with the Heat this time.

In addition, Su Feng will also have a player option in the fifth year of this contract.

Because he knew that Riley was not the kind of general manager and coach worth entrusting his life to, Su Feng knew that when cooperating with people like Riley, even if he loved you again, you had to leave a way out for yourself.

On the day of signing Su Feng...

According to Riley's family, Riley was like crazy. After returning home, he locked himself in the bathroom and poured several basins of ice water on his head.

Moreover, the TV in Riley's house was also smashed by his excited iron fist.

In Riley's own words...

The TV sets that used to play other programs are no longer worthy of staying at home!

From now on, in his Riley's house, the TV can only play programs related to Su Feng!

According to Miami Roadside News...

Riley even printed Su Feng's jersey number on his underwear.

In short...

As Su Feng remembered, Riley is not only perverted to others...

He is also perverted to himself.

However, this day...

When inviting Su Feng to his home for dinner and asking him about his summer training plan, Riley was given a counterattack by Su Feng.

"What? Training of this level can also be called training?

Mr. Pat Riley, to be honest, if I hadn't already signed an agreement with your team, I would really want to retire immediately." Su Feng said with disdain for the training requirements Riley put forward.

Hearing this, Riley's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, "Then how do you usually train in Toronto?"

"Of course, I have to get up at four in the morning, then walk the dog while running, and then...finally..." Su Feng said, looking at Riley.

Now...

Riley was completely shocked.

"No, no, you must not train like this in Miami!

It's too bad for your body." Riley said, looking at Su Feng affectionately.

Puff——!

Let me tell you a joke.

Riley is actually afraid of exhausting the players...

"That won't work, I've always trained like this...

And I came to Miami just to get more strict guidance from you." Su Feng said.

"But... have you really persisted with this kind of training for the past few years?" Riley asked curiously.

"Of course." Su Feng replied seriously.

Ah this!

To be fair.

If he hadn't already gotten Su Feng, then he Riley would really have to have a good discussion with John Davis.

Because you said in the NBA, where is there such a perverted coach like John Davis who kills the team's star?

"Oh, yes, if possible, give me that kid Darko!

Before the start of next season, I hope he can train with me." Su Feng said to Riley at the end of the conversation this day.

Regarding Su Feng's proposal...

Riley had already mourned for Milicic for three seconds in his heart.

Because when he completed the signing with Milicic after the draft, Riley always felt that there was something wrong with this kid's mental attributes.

Now...

Thinking of the scene of him groaning bitterly under Su Feng's whip...

Hey, don't say it, Riley really found it quite exciting.

"Okay, I will tell his agent later that he must completely listen to your arrangements this summer.

Otherwise, next season, I won't give him even a minute of playing time!" Riley said, patting Su Feng on the shoulder.

Huo!

So this is to let me be the team bully as soon as I come?

"Then, if possible, let me train Manu and Lamar too!" Su Feng said, looking at Riley.

"No problem!" Riley smiled.

Perfect!

I have to say...

Choosing to come to the Heat this summer is really the most correct choice!

On the 5th, just when people were still discussing how the Heat should build their team, with a lineup prospect map of the Heat for next season thrown out by the local media in Miami...

The world's female fans suddenly exploded!

On this prospect map, Su Feng, Milicic, Ginobili, and Korver stood side by side.

Below the picture, there is a paragraph of text:

"Are you really not planning to watch a Miami Heat NBA game?

This is the highest-value male model team in NBA history!"
