Chapter 1705 Shaq's Anger

"Ding!

As one of the last remaining glories of the NBA center position, Shaquille O'Neal has been harboring resentment towards Korean center Ha Seung-jin's recent remarks.

As Shaq's big brother, how could you stand idly by and watch your beloved Shaq get bullied?

'The Super Center's Fury' quest has been activated.

Quest Condition 1: In the next game against the Portland Trail Blazers, assist O'Neal in completing at least two dunks over Ha Seung-jin via alley-oop.

Quest Condition 2: In the next game against the Portland Trail Blazers, O'Neal must score at least 20 points off your assists.

Quest Completion Reward: [Big Brother] exclusive custom badge and a Shaquille O'Neal golden legend gift pack.

Quest Failure Penalty: Reduce your prestige value in O'Neal's eyes by 10 points. (Your current prestige value in O'Neal's eyes is: 9999/10000).

Note: Considering the difficulty of posterizing in actual operation, the quest condition will be considered fulfilled as long as Ha Seung-jin is near O'Neal during his dunk."

Su Feng: "..."

Huh!

Good heavens!

So, the quests issued by the Striking Iron System are now specifically designed to 'provide information' for me? (Note 1)

During the flight to Portland, Su Feng quickly grasped several important pieces of information from this sudden quest.

First, the matter of O'Neal harboring resentment towards Ha Seung-jin...

Not long ago, during an interview with Korean media, Ha Seung-jin casually remarked that if he could get enough playing time in the NBA, he could become the next Yao Ming, in order to help the Korean men's basketball team, which had been repeatedly defeated by the Chinese team in recent years on the Asian stage, regain some face.

As a result, Yao himself didn't care much when he heard this statement.

Because in the NBA, Yao Ming had seen many clowns like Ha Seung-jin over the years.

However, when this statement reached O'Neal's ears...

O'Neal was not happy.

Because in O'Neal's view, only Yao Ming in the entire NBA was worthy of being his opponent.

Therefore, just because of this statement, O'Neal had a million reasons to beat him into a pulp.

Tsk!

As everyone knows, O'Neal has always been narrow-minded.

In addition, as a "Shark Tamer," if Su Feng remembered correctly, in the future, when Dampier said that he was the best center in the West, O'Neal was actually angrier than Yao Ming.

After all, after Yao had proven that he was capable of competing with O'Neal, O'Neal felt that these clowns were insulting him indirectly by insulting Yao Ming.

Therefore...

Combining O'Neal's bet with himself about who could posterize Ha Seung-jin in the next game against the Trail Blazers...

Su Feng was certain that Ha Seung-jin would probably have a hard time walking out of the Rose Garden Arena alive tomorrow night.

But...

"This quest... might be a bit difficult!"

Touching his chin, looking at the two quest conditions on the system interface...

Su Feng fell silent.

In theory, it wasn't too difficult for Su Feng and O'Neal to complete two alley-oops in a game.

However...

Given Ha Seung-jin's playing time, which was even less than that of a water cooler attendant...

To be honest...

This was definitely the most difficult quest Su Feng had received since the "Dragon Slaying" quest back then.

In addition, in Su Feng's opinion, although it wasn't too difficult to help O'Neal score 20 points in the game...

But after adding the condition that O'Neal's 20 points had to be entirely from his assists...

This quest also became extremely difficult.

Because based on O'Neal's tendency to miss easy shots...

Even if you replaced him with "Magic" Johnson himself, he would still miss the same shots.

Fortunately...

Even if this quest wasn't completed, the penalty Su Feng would receive was equivalent to none.

Because after seeing his prestige value in O'Neal's eyes through the system...

Su Feng finally understood why this shark had been living like him lately.

A prestige value of 9999!

This was insane! O'Neal wasn't just treating him as his lifeline!

Honestly, Su Feng would even believe it if you said that Su Feng was O'Neal's half-brother.

Because based on this terrifying prestige value, Sasuke might not even respect his brother this much!

...

On the 15th, the Heat arrived in Portland.

According to the schedule, they would face the final game of their Western Conference road trip at the Rose Garden Arena on the night of the 16th.

As Su Feng's loyal fan, Chris Paul excitedly took his idol out for some fried chicken as soon as Su Feng got off the plane on the 15th.

With Paul playing better and better this season...

After coming to Portland from Minnesota...

Kevin Garnett, who had always been full of good ideas, had no leg pain or backaches lately...

He even walked with a spring in his step.

In this world, if there's one thing that living beings fear the most, it's not seeing hope.

Then for Garnett at this moment...

Whether it was Paul Allen's endless money or the young CP3's visible talent, he felt something he had never felt in Minnesota...

Hope!

In Garnett's view, in this "dark age" ruled by Su Feng...

Hope was more precious than diamonds!

Look up at the sky, see, the moon is smiling.

Look down at the ground, see, the waves are jumping.

Perhaps for this vast world...

Everyone is a tiny existence.

But Garnett believed that as long as this CP3 could continue to grow...

Then this Trail Blazers team would embrace a bright future under his, Kevin Garnett's, leadership!

Cough, let's get back to the main topic.

As Su Feng had predicted.

Although Paul had entered the NBA a year early, because he had a very high level of completion after his freshman year, CP3 had already become the top candidate for Rookie of the Year this season.

In addition, Garnett greatly admired Paul's attitude during training, so under Garnett's implicit suggestion, even some of the old ruffians in the Trail Blazers team had to treat Paul with respect.

In Su Feng's original timeline, some Garnett haters brought out many anecdotes of Garnett bullying rookies to criticize this tough wolf king.

For example, punching Szczerbiak in the early years and kicking O'Bryant in his later years.

But in fact, if you look at Garnett's career, you will find that Garnett always had a reason for punching rookies.

For example, the time he punched Szczerbiak.

During a training session...

Szczerbiak, who kept asking Garnett to set screens for him, was very lax in defense, so Garnett intentionally didn't set screens for him twice.

At this time, Szczerbiak, as a rookie, actually yelled at Garnett.

As a result, how could Garnett, who had always been tough and ruthless, tolerate Szczerbiak?

Another example was the time he kicked O'Bryant.

Because he lacked passion in training, Garnett decided to guide O'Bryant to the right path through his patient persuasion.

It was a pity...

Because he couldn't stand Garnett's constant and unwarranted accusations, O'Bryant faded out of the league not long after his mentality collapsed.

In short, based on these two cases, can you say that Garnett liked to bully rookies?

He was clearly guiding these rookies!

It was just that Szczerbiak realized his mistake and repented afterward, and later became the wolf king's right-hand man during his time with the Timberwolves, while O'Bryant's psychological quality was not strong enough to withstand it.

In fact, Garnett was really just focused on the matter at hand most of the time, not the person.

For example, Rajon Rondo, who grew up under Garnett's constant praise.

In Su Feng's original timeline, Garnett had repeatedly praised Rondo in public, saying that "the sky is the limit for him."

Of course...

In this life...

The sky was no longer Rondo's limit.

Because Garnett had already given this sentence to CP3 this season.

And it was worth mentioning that if Su Feng remembered correctly...

In his memory, the grudges between Rondo and Paul...

That was also a very exciting collection of stories.

"If Rajon knew the truth, I wonder if he would want to cover his face and transform into a man in black to break CP3's legs."

That day, after eating fried chicken with Paul, Su Feng sighed silently as he watched Paul's back.

It had to be said that in this life, due to his appearance, although many classic combinations no longer existed, these new classic combinations made Su Feng feel that the NBA was even more interesting.

Take the Paul and Garnett combination, for example.

In Su Feng's previous life, when Garnett retired, even though CP3 had said that the player he hated the most in this league was Garnett.

But in fact, in the second half of this sentence, Paul also said...

If Garnett was his teammate, he would be very happy.

After all...

The Garnett in reality was not someone whose strength would be affected by a few words from some wolf hater like Jing Qiaoqiao on the Qidian website.

No matter how much you complain...

In Su Feng's opinion, the Garnett at his peak was the undisputed second-best power forward in NBA history!

(Malone, Barkley:?)

...

On the night of the 16th, at the Rose Garden Arena, the Heat officially ushered in their eleventh game to challenge the best start in NBA history.

On the court, after the players from both teams finished warming up, the big screen immediately showed the starting lineups for both teams tonight.

Heat: O'Neal, Haslem, Su Feng, Butler, Payton.

Trail Blazers: Przybilla, Garnett, Patterson, Anderson, Paul.

Compared to the previous game against the Mavericks, the Heat's starting lineup tonight had undergone subtle changes.

That was...

After playing for more than half a month in the new season, Su Feng had finally returned to the small forward position.

Because Su Feng knew that Garnett's tough fadeaway jumper was like a King's spear without a spearhead, it couldn't kill anyone...

Therefore, in order to allow O'Neal to score more comfortably in the game, Su Feng knew very well that sending out the equally tough Haslem to entangle with Garnett was the best strategy.

This season, from the Trail Blazers' season plan, as a team that was both leveling up and aiming for the playoffs, they were not very strong at the small forward and shooting guard positions.

Therefore, in this game, Su Feng's return to the small forward position could not only help Payton reduce the defensive pressure on the young version of CP3 after the pick-and-roll...

And, on the offensive end, Su Feng could also play a better restraining effect, thereby further expanding O'Neal's offensive space.

In addition, because the system never issued quests that he couldn't complete 100%...

So Su Feng knew that in this game, Ha Seung-jin, the Trail Blazers' water cooler attendant, would definitely be sent on the court by the Trail Blazers' coach Cheeks.

Therefore...

Before the start of this game, Su Feng had also told Riley about his bet with O'Neal.

"Don't worry, as long as the Trail Blazers put their Korean center on the court in this game, I will keep Shaq on the court."

Hearing this, Riley's mischievous DNA was immediately awakened by Su Feng.

Because the NBA schedule was very long, so for most coaches and players in this league...

If they didn't find ways to have fun through some games, they would probably be bored to death before the end of the season.

Therefore, in general, when core players made some special requests for the game, most coaches would choose to transform into their accomplices.

At the Rose Garden Arena, in the center of the court, O'Neal easily won the jump ball for the Heat.

At the high post, after calling O'Neal over to set a screen for him, Su Feng easily broke into the paint.

At the baseline, due to Haslem's restraint, Garnett couldn't help in time.

As a result, Przybilla had no choice but to pull Su Feng down.

On the court, Su Feng made both free throws.

2-0.

As a true organization master, Su Feng knew very well that if he wanted to help O'Neal score continuously through assists, he first had to stand up and tell the Trail Blazers what the consequences would be if they didn't let him pass the ball to his teammates.

In simple terms...

This was the legendary setting the tone for the game.

On the court, the Trail Blazers turned around and attacked.

Paul and Garnett's pick-and-roll tormented the old Payton.

Near the top of the arc, the young CP3 almost broke Payton's ankle with just a Sam Cassell.

On the right wing, after cutting out smoothly, Garnett received Paul's pass in the first time.

Immediately afterward, Garnett unleashed a tough high post jump shot that would make children cry and adults lose their minds.

Swish!

Bang, bang, bang!

On the court, after scoring the first point for the Trail Blazers, Garnett pounded his chest and ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena with his roar.

At this time, the commentator at the Trail Blazers' arena couldn't help but sigh: "This is the fighting spirit that Kevin brings us!

He has turned us into an iron army!"

On the court, it was the Heat's turn to attack.

Still calling O'Neal over to set a screen for him.

At the high post, after using the screen to break into the restricted area, Su Feng, who showed a strong desire to attack, responded to the Trail Blazers with a one-handed slam dunk.

4-2.

On the sidelines, watching Su Feng, who was a bit unstoppable on the court...

Trail Blazers coach Cheeks felt that the Trail Blazers were going to be in trouble tonight.

Snap--!

Sure enough...

On the court, before Cheeks could think of a way to defend Su Feng, Su Feng directly snatched the ball from Patterson's hands!

Clang--!

In the Trail Blazers' half, after a one-stop fast break, Su Feng even performed a windmill dunk for the fans at the Rose Garden Arena.

6-2!

In addition, while retreating, Su Feng deliberately muttered to himself as he passed by the Trail Blazers' bench: "Hiss--!

Speaking of which, I haven't scored 50+ this season...

Should I?"

Cheeks: "..."

Damn!

Threat!

This was definitely a naked threat!

On the Trail Blazers' bench...

Cheeks, who was threatened by Su Feng, immediately issued instructions to the Trail Blazers players on the court to hold down Su Feng even if they had to leak other Heat players.

And now...

Su Feng, who had succeeded in his conspiracy, couldn't hide his smile.

However...

Because Su Feng's poker face had already become deeply rooted in people's hearts...

So when he smiled...

On the court, the Trail Blazers players felt that he was even more dangerous!
