Chapter 1 The 29th of October, American Airlines Arena

Although Heat fans had been suffering heart attacks every now and then since "Shaq's Eastern Journey," you know...

Who doesn't have a dream?

Just like what the Lakers fans said to comfort the Heat fans before.

This fathead carp is a bit of a pit...

But with Su Feng, you still have infinite possibilities!

"I no longer have any illusions about Shaq.

But as a die-hard honey, at least at this time, we should give Su more support!"

On the night of the 29th, basically all the Heat fans who came to the scene had such thoughts in mind.

And as the Heat's opponent in this year's opening game...

You simply don't know how much Xiao Zhanzhan, as Su Feng's hand-picked successor...

...is feeling sorry for Su Feng.

To put it in a not-so-appropriate analogy...

The current Xiao Zhanzhan is like a prince watching his king work hard every night, wishing he could grow up quickly so that the king could retire early and not have to work so hard.

"According to the news coming from the Heat tonight, O'Neal should be back on the Heat's game roster...

But I don't know if he is really ready to play." Yu Jia said on CCTV while doing the pre-match preview.

"When O'Neal first came to the Heat, many Chinese fans jokingly called the combination of O'Neal and Su Feng the 'Kill Crazy' combination...

But now it seems that before O'Neal can 'kill crazy' on the court, Su Feng will have to go crazy first." Yang Yi, who was the commentator guest tonight, said.

On the court, after the entry ceremonies of the two teams, the big screen immediately gave the starting lineups for the two teams tonight.

Cavaliers: Big Z, Bosh, Miles, Johnson, James.

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

On the scene, when they noticed that Su Feng appeared at the power forward position, both the Chinese and American commentators obviously had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Since Ariza's registered height reached 203 centimeters, in the eyes of the commentators from China and the United States, Ariza should be the power forward in the Heat's starting lineup.

Even when analyzing the Heat's starting lineup for the new season, Yang Yi was still questioning whether Ariza's thin body could take on the task of the Heat's starting power forward.

Because even if Su Feng had played as a power forward in the past, it was like you choosing Lucian in 2018, and no one would have thought that you would really use him to play top lane.

Especially for players like Su Feng who debuted as a "genius mid-laner"...

Who would have thought that he would not only transform into a "top laner" in the new season, but also choose a bunch of strange long-range heroes to fight against the opponent's short-range heroes?

However, on the court, after the game started, people found that...

It turned out that Su Feng was really the Heat's starting power forward tonight!

In the center of the court, perhaps because he was too eager to prove himself, resulting in too much force, in the jump ball, O'Neal surprisingly but quite reasonably lost to Big Z.

In Su Feng's view, the probability of O'Neal not being able to beat Big Z, a floor-flowing player, in the jump ball is like the probability of the Raptors being able to jump to the first offense back then.

And for the world, for this half-dead and crazy-dying shark, if he can stand up, why don't you just say that the White House will be bombed tomorrow?

On the court, Xiao Zhanzhan was responsible for dribbling the ball past half-court.

At this time, Bosh, who had already thought in his heart that he would use his fierce back-up to bully Ariza later, found that...

The player who was facing him tonight was Su Feng.

In terms of height, no matter how Su Feng combed his hair, there was an objective gap of about 10 centimeters between him and Bosh.

But in terms of strength...

In the most recent physical test, Su Feng's current weight was 106.5 kilograms.

And from the data given by the Cavaliers themselves in the new season, Bosh's weight in the new season is about 105 kilograms.

Although on the basketball court, a large weight does not necessarily mean that your strength can surpass the opponent.

But Su Feng's strength...

With Bosh's small arms and legs, how could he be Su Feng's opponent?

Therefore, as soon as he came into contact with Su Feng, Bosh wisely gave up the idea of competing with Su Feng in the low post.

At the high post, according to the pre-match arrangement of Cavaliers coach Silas, James, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, initiated a screen request to Big Z.

Before the game, Silas had also considered how the Cavaliers should respond if O'Neal returned to the Heat's roster.

As a result, after studying some of O'Neal's recent games when he was with the Lakers, Silas found that...

This fathead carp simply can't defend against pick-and-rolls.

As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Since Riley generously sent O'Neal up tonight, then the Cavaliers naturally have to return the favor and send a return gift to the Heat.

However, just as James was about to initiate a pick-and-roll with Big Z, on the other side, Su Feng directly pounced on James after switching defenses with his teammate.

The reason why Su Feng would slap himself in the face this season and actively propose to Riley that he play as the power forward...

...is because, in this way, he can guarantee that O'Neal will not be bullied when he encounters opponents who are blindly playing pick-and-rolls by using his amazing lateral movement ability on the court.

Although after successfully controlling his weight to about 150 kilograms, this fathead carp can defend out if he wants to.

But considering his age at this time, in Su Feng's view, it is everyone's responsibility to care for the fathead carp.

Therefore, on the surface, the Heat are guarding man-to-man tonight, but in fact, they are guarding a mixed defense of zone and man-to-man.

In the NBA, in addition to one man guarding and four zoning, the mixed defense of zone and man-to-man is not uncommon.

Since the NBA has a defensive three-second rule, theoretically, you can't see an absolute zone defense in the NBA.

So now the question is.

Since Su Feng has filled to the top of the arc, then in principle, wouldn't Bosh be open?

Moreover, after Su Feng switched defenses with Payton, wouldn't the player who is now facing Big Z become Payton?

At the top of the arc, looking at Su Feng who appeared in front of him, Xiao Zhanzhan, who originally wanted to find a gap in the Heat's defense through passing the ball as soon as possible, soon discovered a fact that made his back chill...

That is...

On the court, the rotation and defensive speed of the Heat's other four players except O'Neal has far exceeded his imagination.

Long before Su Feng filled to the top of the arc, Ariza had filled to Bosh.

And since the basketball space is limited, therefore, after O'Neal and Butler form a corner, whether it is Johnson or Miles, once they want to shoot directly after receiving James' pass, they will inevitably encounter strong interference from the Heat's defensive players.

As for Big Z, who is facing Payton with an absolute height advantage at this moment?

Perhaps, in a position closer to the basket, Big Z can easily bully Payton through his height advantage.

But after choosing to cut out after the pick-and-roll, he can't use his height advantage to attack in the first time.

Because no matter how tall Big Z is, he still needs a certain amount of shooting space.

Even if he can directly raise his hands and shoot after receiving Xiao Zhanzhan's ball, like some theorists say, how can he maintain his shooting percentage in a position so far away from the basket when he is being entangled by Payton?

If the Sixers equipped Iverson with four strong men in order to protect him.

Then at this moment, in order to protect O'Neal, the Heat are using the king himself to wield the knife and set up a mixed defense formation with four swingmen for him.

At the high post, relying on the advantage of the offensive side having the right to make decisions, Xiao Zhanzhan forcibly accelerated and wiped past Su Feng.

However, as soon as he entered the inside, Xiao Zhanzhan saw a strange but familiar high wall.

What is strange is that because he was separated from O'Neal by the Eastern and Western Conferences before, coupled with the fact that the Lakers did not know how to use O'Neal on both offense and defense last season...

Therefore, Xiao Zhanzhan had never felt the pressure that O'Neal could give to offensive players so much during defense.

What is familiar is...

In the first round of the playoffs against the Sixers last season...

Whenever James rushed into the inside, he would encounter double-teams from Ratliff and Yao Ming.

In the restricted area, looking at O'Neal's defensive position that had already been taken in advance, James, who had already jumped up, had to throw the ball out.

However, how could Su Feng, who had been following behind him, let him throw the pot... ah, bah! How could Su Feng let him throw this pie to his teammates?

Pa—!

After extending his long arm to block James' pass, Su Feng successfully helped the Heat defend against the Cavaliers' attack.

And in American Airlines Arena, looking at Su Feng's ubiquitous figure, the restless hearts of the Heat fans were also slightly calmed down.

Because no matter whether this Heat team is about to be destroyed or has already been destroyed...

You can always trust Su Feng!

On the court, because this young Cavaliers team retreated quickly, Su Feng also handed the ball to Payton, giving up the idea of launching a transition offense.

And as soon as Payton dribbled the ball past half-court, he found that the Cavaliers had started to play zone defense as soon as they came up tonight.

Last season, when dealing with the Lakers, zone defense seemed to have become the version answer to deal with O'Neal.

At the top of the arc, after screening to the high post with his teammate, Su Feng received Payton's pass in the area around the top of the arc.

At this time, the vast sea also appeared in front of O'Neal.

As everyone knows, when breaking the zone defense, when a player with passing and shooting abilities stands at the top of the arc, he can vertically cut the opponent's zone defense. Therefore, the Heat only needs to station a player with shooting abilities on the other side, and they can form a four-on-three situation in the local area.

The theory of breaking the zone defense is not complicated.

Even high school basketball coaches know what to do.

But as the level of the game improves and the athletic ability of the players increases, this kind of textbook-like zone defense breaking is something that O'Neal has never felt before.

In the low post, after receiving Su Feng's吊传, O'Neal gently twisted and甩开了 Big Z like a陀螺.

And then...

The moment to test the quality of Miami's basketball hoop has arrived!

哐当————!!

Inside the arena, accompanied by a loud noise, this dunk with all of O'Neal's past anger, in an instant...

...collapsed the Cavaliers' half of the basketball hoop!

Perhaps, I am really old.

Perhaps, in those years with the Lakers, I really didn't do what a big boss should do.

But when did...

...I, the dignified NBA's top fifty superstar, "Shaquille O'Neal," get to the point where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can point fingers at me?

On the court, after completing this shocking violent dunk, before people could come back to their senses, O'Neal turned around and rushed to the technical desk!

"No matter how many thorns there are on the road ahead, I will clear all obstacles for His Majesty the King's coronation ceremony!"

After flipping onto the technical desk, O'Neal took out a magazine from somewhere, rolled it into a筒状, and said.

Su Feng: "......"

And now...

Su Feng always felt extremely embarrassed.

Because in this life, no matter how you look at it, the stars in this space-time have been led astray by him.

In Miami, the reporters and cheerleaders who happened to be under the basketball hoop when O'Neal dunked the hoop all felt a sense of relief.

Because if the quality of the NBA's basketball hoops had not been greatly improved in the past two years, allowing the reporters and cheerleaders enough reaction time when it was dunked down by O'Neal...

Then...

O'Neal tonight would not just be "damaging public property."

In American Airlines Arena, because the Cavaliers' half of the basketball hoop collapsed, the referees had to interrupt the game and let the on-site staff replace the basketball hoop.

At this time, both the Chinese and American commentators didn't know how to comment.

Especially the two TNT TV commentators who had been the most enthusiastic in criticizing O'Neal before.

And inside the arena, how could the Heat fans have imagined that O'Neal would create such a big surprise for them as soon as he came up tonight?

No...

Just this strength, just this flexibility when turning around...

Are you calling this fathead carp short and weak?

Heh...

If O'Neal is short and weak, then you can't say that everyone else is trash, right?

"How is it, was what I just said cool?" On the sidelines, while waiting for the on-site staff to replace the basketball hoop, O'Neal said with a beaming smile, hugging Su Feng.

Hearing this, after patting O'Neal on the back, Su Feng said, "Cool is pretty cool, but... Shaq, aren't you worried that if you don't play well next, you'll be under pressure because of this sentence?"

Looking at Su Feng with a solemn expression, O'Neal replied, "No... I'm not worried at all.

Because if your thighs can't even carry me, then maybe I really have to consider retiring."

At this moment, looking at O'Neal's vicissitudinous eyes...

Su Feng finally understood how aggrieved O'Neal had been in the past few seasons.

As the saying goes, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.

In this cruel and ruthless league, only one team can laugh to the end each season.

Therefore, when someone reaches the top...

Among the players beneath him, who doesn't yearn for that person to be themselves?

For O'Neal, who will soon be 33 years old, time is running out for him to prove himself.

So, after grabbing Su Feng, this lifeline, he desperately and hard climbed up, just to catch up with himself under the setting sun back then.

In American Airlines Arena, after the basketball hoop was replaced, the game continued.

Cavaliers' offense, Xiao Zhanzhan's bald lion's cold arrow failed to deceive Payton.

As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Payton pounced on him the moment James raised his hand.

Dang—!

And in the restricted area, at this moment, something that made Ben Wallace, Little O'Neal, Mourning, Ratliff, Haslem, and others burst into tears also happened...

Because Su Feng actually took the initiative to box out for others!

In order to help O'Neal reshape his fish personality, Su Feng knew that when playing with O'Neal, he had to appropriately allocate some of the rebounds to this fathead carp.

And as a reward for Su Feng boxing out for himself, after protecting the Heat's rebound, the scene that made Kobe burst into tears also happened after O'Neal came back!

Because, how many years and how many games had it been since O'Neal had so actively helped others set screens in the game?

And this kind of screen is not the usual kind of screen.

But O'Neal chose to roll down after solidly blocking the person for Su Feng!

Anyone with a little common sense knows that some inside players who like to score like to roll down while bringing people to double-team their ball-handler through a fake screen.

However, O'Neal's butt just now...

Not only successfully blocked Bosh for Su Feng, but also delayed Big Z a little.

At this time, who else in the Cavaliers' interior could stop this "Kill Crazy" brothers?

In the restricted area, Su Feng originally wanted to get an assist.

But who would have thought that after getting the ball, O'Neal would playfully smash the ball against the backboard and signal to Su Feng with his eyes:

Let's have Brother Feng go first.

Low EQ: Are you two刷数据here?

High EQ: Look, how good is the relationship between Su Feng and O'Neal?

哐当——!!

In the Cavaliers' restricted area, after Su Feng leaped up, the Heat's on-site staff tonight felt that they must have been 哔了狗 before the game.

Because...

Accompanied by a crisp sound...

Su Feng, who wanted to seek justice for his lovely Shaq brother, snapped the Cavaliers' half of the basket in an instant!

You must know that in order to prevent these monsters in the NBA from damaging public property during dunks, the designers fully considered how to reduce the burden that the basket needs to bear when it is being beaten through mechanics when designing the NBA basket.

But...

Just like rubber bands with good elasticity will be broken.

When the basket's bearing capacity exceeds its bearing range in an instant...

At this moment...

If the basket could speak...

Then it would definitely ask Su Feng.

"What did I do to offend you!"

In American Airlines Arena, after Su Feng's extremely explosive劈扣 once again interrupted the game tonight...

On the scene, in front of the TV, I don't know why...

All the fans who were watching the game felt a murderous aura coming towards them.

"Are they... really human?"
