Chapter 147 Dwight, Welcome to the NBA!

This season, Howard has a free throw percentage of around 65%, which doesn't seem too bad at first glance.

But in fact, those familiar with Howard know that his psychological resistance to pressure is quite worrying.

Huh? Shouldn't someone who is optimistic all day have good psychological resistance to pressure?

Uh...

To be honest, that also depends on whether you are truly optimistic or falsely optimistic.

On the free throw line, when Howard raised the basketball...

His mind was filled with Su Feng's taunt just now, and he suddenly became uneasy.

Because Su Feng had just emphasized that even if Howard missed both free throws, he would never laugh at him.

So at this moment...

Howard automatically imagined the Heat players bursting into laughter when he missed both free throws.

As a result...

Clang!

No clang!

On the court, after missing the first free throw, Howard simply threw an air ball on the second free throw.

At this time, even if Su Feng kept his promise and didn't laugh at Howard because of this, in Howard's opinion...

Not laughing now is better than laughing!

"Don't be discouraged, just try to make the next one."

As an understanding and considerate senior who cares about newcomers, in order to avoid Howard misunderstanding him...

On the court, Su Feng walked to Howard's side in time to encourage him.

"Of course, that is indeed a bit difficult for you.

But you don't need to be discouraged because of this.

Because what if you fluke one or two in?" After a pause, Su Feng continued.

Howard: "......"

Tsk!

Look at Su Feng's mouth!

Is it true that the giant pandas in Sichuan Province are getting thinner because Su Feng took all the bamboo shoots?

Seeing this scene, O'Neal felt that verbal violence was really terrible.

Because back then, his mentality was gradually broken by Su Feng!

Fortunately...

Now he has embraced Su Feng's thigh.

On the court, the Heat have possession.

In the low post, after being double-teamed by Cato and Howard, O'Neal flicked the ball behind his head, and Su Feng, who was following up, gladly accepted the layup.

5 to 14. (Note 1)

As another important indicator to test the quality of a super center, O'Neal's passing is much more delicate than most centers because he is often targeted by opponents on the court.

Back on defense, the Magic are on the attack.

At the high post, after faking a screen for Bibby, Howard, feeling that he had lost face, mustered all his strength, sprinting towards the basket with all his might, while signaling to Bibby to throw the ball as high as he could.

Having seen Ricky Davis's ending last season, Bibby knew that Howard was the crown prince of this Magic team.

Therefore, seeing this, after estimating Howard's usual maximum jump height in his mind, Bibby threw the ball towards the Heat's basket.

It has to be said that Howard's jump is indeed amazing.

And in the air, he only had one thought!

That is...

To slam that damn basketball in!

However...

If this is the flying height of "Superman"...

Then Su Feng couldn't help but wonder how Superman defeated those evil villains in the comics.

Bang—!

In the Heat's restricted area, it was too late, but then again, a thunderbolt descended from the sky, and Howard's basketball dream turned into coke in an instant!

It is...

It's Su Feng!

In the air, he assassinated Dwight Howard!

"My God! Is this real?!"

On TNT, watching Su Feng's ghostly figure, Barkley exclaimed.

And on the court, Howard, who had his basketball snatched from the air by Su Feng, couldn't stand firm when he landed...

After landing, this guy directly sat on the floor with his butt.

At this moment, he was as aggrieved as an elementary school student whose basketball had been snatched away by an older brother.

No...

Don't bully people like that!

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie!"

In the restricted area, looking down at Howard sitting in front of him, Su Feng said to him.

And now...

Howard was even more aggrieved.

In his heart, Howard secretly swore...

After this game, he must buy a hundred Heat's number 23 jerseys...

And then burn them all!

"Now, you should know what kind of senior our boss is, right?"

On the Heat's bench, thinking that Ariza had praised Su Feng for being kind before, Butler felt that Ariza didn't know anything about Su Feng.

Hearing this, after nodding, Ariza said, "I don't think I'll ever choose to be Su's opponent in my life.

Because he is too cruel to his enemies."

On the court, the game continues.

The Heat scored through a fast break, with Arston scoring a layup.

In the first quarter of the game between the two teams, O'Neal's scoring momentum obviously slowed down a bit in the following game.

This is mainly because big men like O'Neal can't shoot as freely on the court as guards like Su Feng and Kobe.

However, in the sewer tactics carefully designed for himself by Coach Su, O'Neal had a great time passing and grabbing rebounds.

Many people may have such doubts.

That is, for a big man like O'Neal who has no long-range shooting threat, once he leaves the low post, doesn't he become an iron lump on the offensive end?

Um...

Logically speaking, that's true.

But for Su Feng, who has seen the future and saved Kerr's whole family with "Chasing Dream Green" playing, who said that if you don't have a long-range shooting threat, you can't distribute the ball at the high post?

And with top shooters like Su Feng and Korver, would O'Neal's hard passes be worse than Green's?

In the second half of the first quarter, O'Neal was able to easily get assist data by paying attention to Su Feng and Korver's running positions when holding the ball, going forward to set screens for them at the right time, and passing the ball to Su Feng and Korver's hands through hand-offs.

In Su Feng's original timeline, in the future, many "Rangers" often have Green's passing and organization on their lips.

But in fact, after throwing the shooting package on Kerr's bed, Green's assists depend on whether the elementary school students can dominate the game?

In Su Feng's opinion, this tactic is completely unnecessary for the current Heat, which has many offensive initiators.

But it is indeed a very suitable tactic for the team's inside players to get data.

In the first quarter, O'Neal, who made 8 of 9 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, had 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, felt for the first time in his life...

It turns out that getting a triple-double in an NBA game is such an easy thing.

You know, before tonight, O'Neal had only gotten one triple-double.

And that was on November 20, 1993.

At that time, O'Neal got a total of 24 points, 28 rebounds, and 15 blocks in the game.

"The hell, can what I used to play be called basketball?"

On the Heat's bench, recalling his previous experiences...

O'Neal suddenly became uneasy.

What the hell is a tactic tailored for him?

A triangle offense specially designed for him?

Those garbage coaches he experienced before, are they worthy of comparing with Su Feng?

At this moment, hugging Su Feng's shoulders, O'Neal even started to find the smell of Su Feng's sweat fragrant.

And noticing that O'Neal was gradually fascinated by the sewer tactics, Su Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Shaq, do you like this style of play?"

Hearing this, O'Neal originally wanted to say that he liked it from the bottom of his heart.

However, thinking that as the team's second-in-command, he was only worthy of enjoying this tactic once or twice, O'Neal shook his head and said, "I think it's okay."

Pfft!

And now, looking at this extremely humble fathead fish, Su Feng burst into laughter.

In fact, the Heat can't really learn tactics like tonight's.

It's just not this season.

In the past two years, with the improvement of his organizational ability and passing ability, even if he doesn't play sewer tactics, Su Feng can easily connect the team through passing in the game.

Moreover, "30+ triple-doubles per season" or "assist king"...

For Su Feng, who prefers to score points, these are not his goals.

To put it bluntly, in this era, in Su Feng's eyes, what could be more interesting than competing with Kobe, who has unlocked all his seals, for points?

However, in order to obtain the [Evergreen] badge, and for the championship, Su Feng is suppressing his desire to score.

But through tonight's game, Su Feng also discovered an interesting thing.

That is, O'Neal after "turtleization" actually plays more easily in the game.

As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.

Think about it, if O'Neal doesn't need to enter the low post, wouldn't the distance he runs back and forth on the court be closer than after he enters the low post, regardless of whether the Heat can score or not?

Moreover, after reducing the number of physical confrontations, O'Neal can also avoid some injuries caused by his age.

Back then, in Lower Merion, in order to get more opportunities to shoot, didn't Su Feng rely on sleeping... persuading Kobe to do it?

Although, from the perspective of on-court performance, O'Neal's scoring data will definitely be affected in this way, but conversely, his rebounding and assist numbers will increase.

In this way, Su Feng can obtain more shooting opportunities on the court through his strong off-ball running ability.

"So, this season, no matter what, I must get the [Evergreen] badge!"

In Su Feng's opinion, only children like to do multiple-choice questions.

And adults definitely want everything.

However, before wanting everything, Su Feng never hesitates when it comes to making choices.

American Airlines Arena, in the second quarter, O'Neal was rarely replaced by Riley with 9 minutes left.

Because the Heat's lead over the Magic on the court has reached 20 points at this time, Riley, knowing that Su Feng and O'Neal have to punch in for three quarters in this game, can only seize the precious first three quarters to let O'Neal brush wildly.

And on the court, as soon as he came back, O'Neal harvested his personal fifth assist in this game.

On the wing, holding the ball and watching, waiting for Su Feng to come around...

O'Neal even had time to light a cigarette.

In this position, as long as Howard is not really stupid, he cannot press O'Neal closely.

And now...

Poor old Awgmon.

Because he, who hadn't rested for a minute tonight, finally ran to the wing with Su Feng, and O'Neal bumped into him with his big butt.

And on the court, after passing the ball to Su Feng with a hand-off, O'Neal also turned around to celebrate for Su Feng in advance.

Fortunately, Su Feng didn't let O'Neal's premature celebration turn into a comedy.

Swish!

18 to 41!

This is Su Feng's third three-pointer in this game.

On TNT, Smith said with emotion: "Who can believe that Su only used 20 games to score 101 three-pointers?"

As of now in the new season, Su Feng has scored 40 more three-pointers than Ray Allen, who ranks second on the three-pointers list.

And if he can continue to score with his current efficiency...

It won't be long before Reggie Miller's career record of 2560 three-pointers will be surpassed by him.

There's no way.

Considering that the bunch of young people in the future are more capable than the other...

So who can understand Su Feng's sense of urgency in racing against time?

Su Feng knows very well that even if he scores 4000 three-pointers before retiring, it may not be safe.

Because his nephew Stephen Curry is someone who doesn't act like a human being since he was a child.

On the court, the Magic are on the attack.

Through a pick-and-roll, the Magic successfully forced Su Feng, who came to help his teammates defend, to switch to Howard.

At the top of the arc, seeing this, Bibby, thinking that he had to take advantage of this mismatch, decisively passed the ball to Howard's hands.

However...

How decisive Bibby was when passing the ball to Howard in the previous second...

How regretful Bibby was in his heart in the next second.

Because, after pushing back desperately for a long time, Howard couldn't push Su Feng at all!

Although Howard in his rookie season is still a little slender in terms of figure...

But he couldn't push Su Feng purely because he didn't know how to use his strength and footwork.

And on the court, when Howard was using all his strength to lean back...

Su Feng didn't forget to encourage him: "Push hard, yes, push harder, um, yes, push a little harder!"

Howard: "......"

What the hell!

Are you just bullying people?

On the court, under Su Feng's stimulation, at this moment, Howard didn't care about whether he was sinking his shoulders or not, whether he was fouling or not?

As a result, just when he wanted to push Su Feng away at all costs...

Su Feng grabbed the ball in advance and gently snatched the basketball from his hand.

"You're quite strong, but I suggest you read more books after you go back...

Like "Andersen's Fairy Tales" or something." In the Heat's half, after passing the ball to his teammates, Su Feng turned his head and said to Howard, who was kneeling on the floor.

And hearing this, Howard, who couldn't figure out the meaning of Su Feng's words for a while, nodded and subconsciously replied, "Okay."

O'Neal, who saw this scene, felt that Howard was beyond saving.

But you can't say...

In O'Neal's opinion, Howard may not be able to understand "Andersen's Fairy Tales".

Because of his IQ...

If you don't understand, just ask.

Can drinking six walnuts save him?

American Airlines Arena, tonight, for Heat fans, the good news is...

In another hour or so, they will be able to witness the Heat tying the opening winning streak record of the four major North American sports leagues with their own eyes.

And the bad news is...

Damn it!

Can't we have a team that can let Su Feng and O'Neal play in the fourth quarter?

We also spent a lot of money to buy season tickets!

Some people even got tickets from scalpers at high prices!

But they can only watch them play for three quarters all day long...

Do you know how painful it is to be a Heat fan?

On the court, after halftime, the suspense of this game has changed from whether the Heat can win to how exaggerated O'Neal can get and when Su Feng will score his 100th three-pointer of the season.

At halftime, the score between the two teams was 39 to 77.

In the first half, O'Neal, who made 14 of 17 shots and 6 of 9 free throws, scored a total of 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Su Feng, who made 6 of 9 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, scored 17 points, 2 rebounds, and 8 assists.

In the NBA, many data nerds always like to use a team's number of assists to judge whether they are playing team basketball or not.

And if we look at it by this standard...

Who dares to say that the Heat are not playing team basketball tonight?

Doesn't Su Feng and O'Neal's mutual assist count as an assist?

In the third quarter, in order to prevent O'Neal from scoring on the court, the Magic had to further shrink their defense.

As a result, in the first three minutes of this quarter...

Su Feng seized the opportunity and sniped twice from the outside.

On TNT, Smith said: "Who can believe that Su only used 20 games to score 101 three-pointers?"

And Barkley said: "And the scariest thing is that Su's three-point percentage this season is as high as 48%!

His shooting is so accurate!

So accurate that even if you only give him a gap, he can punish your defense with his superb shooting skills!"

Okay...

Shrinking the restricted area will be shot by Su Feng and the Heat's other shooters.

And if they don't shrink...

The Magic can't stop O'Neal tonight.

On the sidelines, the young Magic coach Chris Jent is like solving a math problem that you can't solve no matter what...

This problem is too difficult, what should I do if I can't do it?

On the court, as the score difference between the two teams widened, Jent, whose mentality had almost collapsed, even said, "There's still more than a quarter left, and this game will be over" when requesting a timeout.

And with the head coach not wanting to fight anymore...

Where can the Magic players on the court have any temper?

In fact, in Su Feng's opinion, with the talent of the Magic's players, they are not without countermeasures.

It's just that Jent didn't use the Magic's players well.

To put it bluntly, no matter how the NBA is a star league, but if you are a head coach...

If you really don't have any ink in your belly, and you are just a tool person who doesn't have any feelings and only knows how to allocate players' playing time...

Then even if you are given a bunch of good cards, you can only watch others bombing in front of you.

The Mavericks are the best example in the new season.

After Davis went to Dallas to coach, they not only quickly built a defensive system with both inside and outside players around Kidd and Chandler, but also didn't rush like they did last season when they were behind.

In China, there is an old saying called "knowing people and being good at assigning them."

But in the NBA, most teams' head coaches find it difficult to do this.

On the sidelines, on the Heat's bench, Spoelstra felt that he had been taught another lesson by Su Feng tonight.

In the third quarter, the Heat continued to expand their lead.

It's just a pity that due to his age, on the court, after taking twenty or thirty shots...

This fathead fish is running out of energy.

In Su Feng's previous life, some Yao haters often used Yao Ming's stamina to hate on Yao Ming.

But in fact, O'Neal after gaining weight often has problems with his stamina.

This has nothing to do with whether O'Neal works hard or not.

It's purely because the high load brought about by his body shape doesn't allow them to do stamina training like small guys.

Once Yao Ming and O'Neal increase their training volume to improve their stamina, there is only one outcome waiting for them — fractures.

And this is also why, even if O'Neal is unhappy with Kobe during the "OK" period, he will only complain at most.

But even without replicating that 61-point performance that year, O'Neal has already played very satisfied tonight.

After the first three quarters, when he was replaced off the court with Su Feng, O'Neal's final data was 51 points, 21 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 blocks, and 1 steal.

As of now, besides Su Feng...

In the long river of NBA history, the players who can get a "50+" triple-double in a game are all those stars that you can only see on black and white TVs.

Therefore, in O'Neal's opinion, being able to get a "50+" triple-double in a game is much happier than letting him get 60 points.

After all, before tonight, even if you let O'Neal rub Kobe's head to fantasize, this fathead fish wouldn't dare to imagine that he could get a "50+" triple-double in an NBA game at the age of 32.

On TNT, Barkley said with emotion: "I must apologize to Shaq again.

Because he slapped me hard in the face tonight.

Facts have proved that he is still the big shark who can easily dominate the low post!"

And on the side, Smith also carried forward the spirit of craftsmanship he learned when he went to Japan for tourism last time.

When the broadcast camera returned to the TNT studio, Smith bowed and apologized to the camera, saying: "I hope the great Shaq O'Neal can forgive my previous negative comments on him.

There is no doubt that Shaq is back this season!"

American Airlines Arena, although O'Neal can't hear Barkley and Smith's apologies to him for the time being, he is in a good mood in the final quarter and is already dancing the butt-shaking dance on the sidelines with great interest.

"No, give up, Shaq, even if you kill me, I will never dance this dance with you."

And facing O'Neal's request for a dance, Su Feng pressed the rejection button without even thinking about it.

What a joke!

He, Su Feng, is the current number one player in the NBA!

Therefore, asking him to dance this kind of awkward dance is like killing him with a knife!

On the court, the final score of this game between the two teams was 89 to 137.

In addition to O'Neal, who scored a "50+" triple-double in the game, Su Feng also got good data of 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 14 assists.

On the Magic's side, Howard, who was cold in his heart when he retired, just wanted to find a toilet to cry for a while.

Howard, who made 0 of 9 shots in the whole game, including 1 of 10 free throws, was fortunate enough to make a free throw as Su Feng blessed him in the first half in the third quarter...

Otherwise, I don't know if he still has the courage to walk out of the American Airlines Arena tonight?

Because he was becoming more and more impatient in the third quarter, which led to a surge in the number of fouls, Howard didn't grab many rebounds in this game, only 4.

After the game, when asked how he viewed the performance of "genius center" Howard on this night, O'Neal humorously said: "Obviously, I was blown away by him tonight."

Reporter: "......"

Blown...

Blown away?

Does that mean that 1 point and 4 rebounds against a "50+" triple-double is also called being blown away?

On the other side, when the media relayed O'Neal's complaints to Howard, the happy beast, who didn't know whether O'Neal was really praising him or scolding him, was stunned for a while.

As a result, Howard, who thought he was very humorous, said after a while: "Actually... if it's just a one-on-one, then I feel that I and Shaq should be able to do a five-five."

In the visiting team's locker room, although Howard was obviously joking when he said this...

But Su Feng knew...

I'm afraid that Howard will have a hard time walking out of the East this season.

Young man!

Joking and acting silly should also be divided into occasions and times, okay?

With the schedule you are going to experience next...

Are you sure you can always maintain such an "optimistic and happy" attitude?

In Su Feng's original timeline, even Kobe, who Bynum could tolerate, why did he and Howard get more and more stiff?

And even Harden, who can feed Capela into a generation of cake kings, why does he feel a headache for Howard?

To put it bluntly, it's because this guy often says a bunch of very unemotional words that seem to be very high in emotional intelligence.

In Su Feng's opinion, if he is a normal person, after experiencing such a heartbreaking night, even if he doesn't feel self-blame for this, at the very least, he must first think about where he didn't play well.

But Howard will never think about these questions.

Because if he is willing to use his brain more...

It should be James plus a sweetener to trade for him.

……

After defeating the Magic, the Heat, who successfully won their 20th victory of the new season, quietly tied the opening winning streak record of the four major North American sports leagues.

According to the schedule, because the Heat will next play against the Timberwolves at home, most basketball enthusiasts believe that it is only a matter of time before the Heat break the record.

And in order to witness this historic moment, several major North American TV broadcasters also temporarily revised their broadcast schedule and included this Heat-Timberwolves game in their broadcast plan for the 6th.

American Airlines Arena, on the evening of the 6th, all Heat fans wore fan T-shirts with the words "120+21" printed on the chest.

The first number is to commemorate that the original opening winning streak record of the four major North American sports leagues was born 120 years ago.

The second number is the number of consecutive wins that the Heat will challenge at home on the evening of the 6th.

Miami, on this memorable night, Brady, the fencing enthusiast that Su Feng met a few years ago, also came to the scene.

In addition, the smarter Jet Li and Jackie Chan also put insoles in their leather shoes in advance, which can increase their height by 8 centimeters.

It's just a pity...

No matter how much these two people pad, when taking photos with Su Feng...

They still become dwarf musketeers.

Hot knowledge.

Unless it's true love, never take a photo with your favorite NBA star, even if you have the opportunity.

Because...

Even if you are Dwayne Johnson, you will become younger Johnson in front of this group of supermen in the NBA.

On the evening of the 6th, in a happy atmosphere, the Heat only used one quarter of the game to completely turn the American Airlines Arena into a "Carnival" mode.

In the new season, after Garnett went to Portland in the west, the Timberwolves have officially launched their ten-year, or even a hundred-year, thousand-year, or ten-thousand-year rebuilding plan.

In the summer, dissatisfied with the Timberwolves' offer of a million-dollar renewal, "Madman" Sprewell directly chose to test the free agent market.

In Sprewell's opinion, the Timberwolves' offer of a million-dollar annual salary was simply disgusting him.

Because for a star as stylish as him, how can you be embarrassed to negotiate with his agent without two or three million?

Um...

As a result, because other NBA teams felt that they couldn't afford Sprewell, Sprewell, who was still active by Garnett's side last season, withdrew from the stage of history after waiting bitterly for a summer.

And now, Sprewell can be said to be completely stunned.

Because...

In order to go crazy in front of the Timberwolves' management...

Now, even a decent retirement contract, he can no longer get it.

Wake up!

The Timberwolves' management is stupid, stupid...

But they are not so stupid that they will continue to welcome you with a warm face after putting a warm face on your cold butt.

And judging from Sprewell's savings that have already been squandered...

Su Feng always feels that the next time he wants to see this guy again, he probably has to go to the homeless piles on the streets of New York to find him.

Cough, let's talk about the main point.

On the court, the Timberwolves, who have entered the tanking mode, did not make too much resistance, and let the Heat easily establish a twenty or thirty-point lead.

And after the first three quarters of the game, in order not to add to the joy of the Miami fans, the Timberwolves' coach also very readily put on a bunch of garbage players, surrendered early, and announced their surrender.

On the sidelines, O'Neal, who was still worried about his future a few months ago, felt that he had become a winner in life.

Because after tonight, he will be remembered by the world forever together with Su Feng and others!

On December 6, 2004, after defeating the Timberwolves at home, the Miami Heat successfully created history!

They broke the opening winning streak record of the four major North American sports leagues!

—21 consecutive wins!

And, they even have the opportunity to continue to expand their winning streak in the following games!

New York, on this night, David Stern can be said to have had a night that was both happy and worried.

The happy thing is...

After Kobe and Su Feng brought up the heat of the NBA, the Heat's 21-game winning streak has raised the heat of the NBA's new season to a new height.

And the worrying thing is...

Why would I be so stupid to arrange the Heat's opening stage of the season to be so easy?

"Do you think Su is really the incarnation of God?" On this night, looking at his assistant Mark, Stern said with a serious face.

And hearing this, Mark said after pondering for two seconds: "Probably not..."

"Then how can you explain that Shaq, who had already been abandoned by us, would play with such a dominant performance after a summer?"

"Also, before the start of the new season, didn't we all think that this Heat would encounter big trouble in the regular season?"

"But, now they have won 21 consecutive wins!

Seriously, is there really a team this season that can stop their momentum to win the championship? My dear old friend."

Listening to Stern's questions one after another...

Mark was silent.

And compared to answering Stern's questions...

Mark, who is familiar with Stern's routines, knows very well...

Stern, this is a drunken man's intention not in wine!
