Silently Writing
Chapter 450 A New Beginning, "Full Price" Sports Car!
After watching the Lakers and Jazz battle it out, Su Feng felt that no matter which team won this year, it wouldn't be easy.
Because, while the Western Conference didn't seem as brutal as the Eastern Conference...
...after the Lakers added some drama, it wasn't going to be easy for them to get past the Jazz.
In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the two teams, young Kirilenko managed to defend Kobe into "Kobe" at times.
On the offensive end, Reid nearly ran Jones' legs off with his tireless movement.
And Ostertag, who had been considered a bad contract, reawakened his muscle memory in his matchup with O'Neal.
In the critical moment, O'Neal's "holding the chamber pot" (a humorous description of his free throw shooting stance) technique that he had painstakingly practiced last summer, and Kidd's suffocating performance on both ends of the court against Stockton, became the keys to the Lakers' victory that night.
In Su Feng's past life, in the career matchups between Kidd and Stockton, Kidd had lost 20 and only won 8, limited by the weakness of his early teams.
But looking at the matchup stats, Stockton couldn't gain any advantage from Kidd.
Plus, Stockton was already 39 years old...
Reality proved once again that night...
Old soldiers never die, they just can't run anymore.
Speaking of which, Sloan's luck was truly bad.
Because first, there was the ferocious Michael Jordan...
And then there was the ravenous Shaquille O'Neal...
Sloan, who could only do his best and leave the rest to fate, didn't have the good fortune of Su Feng.
On the 23rd, in Boston, the Raptors also welcomed their Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 against the Celtics.
Carter, who had recovered from his injury, was on the Raptors' roster for the game, but out of caution, Davis didn't put Carter in the starting lineup.
And in the first quarter, Duncan's outstanding performance confirmed Su Feng's guess...
Having learned from the failures of the previous two seasons, Auerbach planned to go all out this year, coming up with various excuses to help Duncan conserve his energy, so that he wouldn't have to worry about Duncan's stamina being depleted by the Raptors in the final battle.
Affected by the Game 7 against the Philadelphia thugs, the Raptors had not yet returned to their best condition.
Plus, Carter needed time to find his game rhythm, and the Raptors ultimately lost their Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 against the Celtics 96-112.
In this game, Su Feng shot 14 of 31, adding free throws and three-pointers to score a total of 45 points.
On the 25th, Game 2 of the series continued at the FleetCenter.
Faced with all kinds of difficult situations, Su Feng immediately brought out the psychological shadow of Boston fans that night.
And on TNT, Smith also cheered for the Raptors: "Sometimes the storm is so strong that you have no choice but to take down the sails.
But the storm will always pass, as long as you can muster the courage to raise the sails again, the end of the journey is ahead."
Honestly, Smith's passionate remarks were just bullying Artest for being uncultured...
Otherwise, Artest would have had a good debate with Smith.
Because...
This storm will always pass...
Then it should just pass already!
What a joke, in this game, Artest was almost fighting with Su Feng, but what was the result, what was the result?
Throughout the game, Su Feng, who shot 19 of 38, was like he was cheating.
Relying on Su Feng's heaven-defying performance in this game, the Raptors successfully pulled one back, and also shattered the Celtics' beautiful wish to overwhelm them with home-court advantage and physical advantage.
In addition, Carter, who had recovered from his injury, also had a good performance in this game.
He shot 5 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, greatly reducing Su Feng's pressure on the offensive end.
On the 28th, the third game between the Raptors and Celtics returned to Boston.
Auerbach adopted a new tactic in this game. Through the Iverson cut defense, the Celtics successfully avoided being taken down in a suicidal manner by Su Feng's "Middle Eastern breakthrough."
And as the winning formula for breaking the zone defense, the Raptors, who have always relied on three-pointers, also rarely collectively misfired in this game.
In this game, Duncan shot 12 of 21, adding free throws to score 34 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks, playing like the newly crowned regular season MVP.
Su Feng always felt that he was really not far from "death" this time.
…
Although Britney's way of comforting Su Feng was simple and crude...
But you have to say, after having America's national goddess accompany him for a whole week of Cosplay, Su Feng's mood did improve.
On June 15th, Su Feng and Britney were even photographed by the media visiting Disneyland together.
As a result, while people were still hotly discussing when Su Feng and Britney would get back together, the next day, the two of them appeared together at the Staples Center.
As Kobe's best brother, Su Feng certainly couldn't miss Kobe's performance in the Finals.
After all, this was going to be Su Feng's "source of joy" for a long time to come.
It's worth mentioning that, although the Raptors missed this year's Finals, when Su Feng watched the game as a spectator on the sidelines, he also felt that the Raptors' monopoly of the NBA in the past two years had indeed caused the NBA to lose some suspense.
However, the only pity was that the rosters of both teams in this year's world war between the Lakers and Celtics were not complete enough.
The Celtics, who had only barely passed the Raptors after a Game 7, lost Artest before the start of the Finals, and Duncan had not yet fully recovered from Achilles tendinitis.
On the other side, the Lakers, who fought six games against the Jazz, also lost Eddie Jones, the son of the Lakers.
However, when Su Feng was observing the Game 1 between the two teams on the sidelines, he was almost driven crazy.
Because he, who "doesn't understand basketball," really didn't know how the Raptors had managed to shut out the Lakers in the past two seasons...
"Am I that awesome?"
Looking at the monsters on the court, stroking his chin, Su Feng muttered to himself.
And in order to answer the doubts in his heart, he even asked while holding Britney's slender waist:
"Honey, do you think I'm strong?"
Hearing this, Britney replied after thinking for a while, "If it's in bed, then I personally feel... just so-so!"
Just...
Just so-so?
What's just so-so?
Where is it just so-so?
Looking at Britney, Su Feng suddenly became anxious.
Because Britney could say that his basketball skills were just so-so, but...
With his strong physical qualities, how could she say that he was just so-so?
And if he was just so-so in that area, how could this girl follow him every day?
Alright, now, Su Feng's mind for watching the game had been completely disturbed by Britney.
At this moment, the only thing Su Feng wanted to do was to find a stage and have a good duel with Britney.
In the end, on the court, after a fierce battle between the Lakers and Celtics, O'Neal, who was in better condition, led the Lakers to hold on to their first home game.
And at this time, ESPN also popularized a little-known fact to the fans in front of the TV...
That is, this game was actually the first Finals game that O'Neal had won in his career!
As a result, the Honey fans, who were already in a bad mood, took the opportunity to complain about O'Neal: "See, as soon as Feng-ge falls, that short shark rises up.
So, this O'Neal is just a bully who is afraid of the strong!"
Well, it's a good thing O'Neal has a good temper.
Otherwise, these fans who were criticizing him...
He would definitely use his Shark Splash to let them know how much he weighed!
On the 18th, Su Feng and Britney continued to appear at the Staples Center.
And this time, Su Feng and Britney were also asked by reporters when they planned to get back together.
"We're not back together, are we? We're just friends right now."
Facing the reporters' questions, Su Feng and Britney answered in unison.
And now, the reporters had completely collapsed.
Because...
We've even found out your hotel records...
But why are you still choosing to drag out the news of your reunion for that shameful traffic?
Huh?
Since you also know that traffic is king in this world, how could Su Feng and Britney not know?
As a pair of "close" and "chatty" good "girlfriends," Su Feng and Britney had no plans to announce their reunion to the world in the short term.
As for when they would announce it in the future?
That would depend on Su Feng and Britney's mood.
In short, these two people have been having a lot of fun together recently, and their sleep quality is also very high, so...
Let's go back to the court and watch the game.
It must be said that the quality of this year's Lakers-Celtics showdown was far beyond Su Feng's imagination.
After the first four games were tied 2-2, in the crucial Game 5 between the two teams, with only 0.4 seconds left, the Lakers barely managed to pass with Kobe's fadeaway shot.
But in Game 6, the Lakers, who had the opportunity to kill the game early, were dragged into a Game 7 by the Celtics because Kobe repeatedly missed key shots at critical moments.
Half angel, half demon.
For the Lakers fans, this may be the most profound experience Kobe left them with in this year's Finals.
In the end, in the two teams' Game 7, in order to win his first championship trophy in his career, O'Neal, who was completely desperate, was nothing like the O'Neal in Su Feng's memory.
Pick-and-roll, expansion, help defense, movement...
O'Neal, who weighed well over 147 kilograms, was so flexible on this night that he didn't look like a fat man at all.
104 to 112.
The Lakers successfully defeated the Celtics in the Game 7 of the Finals.
And O'Neal was named the Finals MVP of the 00/01 season with an outstanding performance of 28 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3.7 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game.
Kobe, who played the roles of angel and demon in Game 5 and Game 6, was able to contribute an average of 25.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2 steals in this series.
And Kidd, whose actual effect on the court was much greater than the data, was more miserable...
Because he had two crazy teammates who were constantly missing shots, Kidd was only able to get an average of 12.7 points, 7 assists, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.9 steals in this series.
If you cover up Kidd's name and his rebounding stats, you might even think that Derek Fisher could go toe-to-toe with Kidd in that moment.
And on the Celtics' side, the newly crowned regular season MVP, Duncan, was able to get an average of 22.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal while playing with an injury.
His overall data was far lower than his performance in the Eastern Conference Finals.
And due to Duncan's constant struggle with injuries...
Ray Allen's performance in the Finals was not as amazing as it was in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In this year's Finals, the Gentleman's Sword was able to contribute an average of 18.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, with an average three-point percentage of 38.7%.
Marbury's performance was also good one game and bad the next.
In the games that the Celtics won, Marbury was able to contribute an average of 22.1 points and 9.6 assists, but in the games that the Celtics lost, Marbury's stats dropped to an average of 14.3 points and 6.7 assists.
At the Staples Center, when Stern was presenting the championship trophy to the Lakers, as the biggest winner of the season, Stern couldn't stop smiling.
Because with Duncan winning the regular season MVP, O'Neal and the Lakers winning the championship was exactly what Stern wanted to see.
After all, in this way, it would be like Stern had embraced both Duncan and O'Neal at the same time this year.
In addition, although the Raptors failed to build a dynasty this season, which made some Raptors fans feel quite uncomfortable.
But for the overall competition of the NBA, the Lakers' championship, and the Game 7 of this year's Finals, has actually gained more attention for the NBA.
In the streets, many fans said that this year's playoffs were the best playoffs since the 1996/1997 season.
Kobe and O'Neal, who were in tears when they were holding the trophy, successfully detonated the tear ducts of the Lakers fans at the scene.
Because only the Lakers fans knew what they had experienced in the past two years.
However, just when Kobe turned around to show off to someone...
That person had already taken Britney and slipped away to another battlefield.
And there...
That person will start a unique Game 7 with Britney, who is wearing a Lakers jersey...
…
The story of the Lakers successfully winning the championship and Kobe and O'Neal fighting over the Finals trophy in the bathroom after the game will be put aside for now.
After the successful conclusion of this year's Finals, Su Feng, who returned to Toronto with Britney, found Davis before the start of the draft to discuss how the Raptors should strengthen themselves in this year's draft.
Because there were still two years left on his "4+1" contract with the Raptors, plus Carter still had one year of his rookie contract that they could use for free, Su Feng, although he failed to build a dynasty in his Raptors career, but with the talent on this Raptors team still full, if he could win one more championship, then of course Su Feng would not choose to win less.
In short, judging from the Raptors' games against the Philadelphia thugs and the Celtics this year, the Raptors must strengthen their inside and guard lines.
And for this, Su Feng happened to have two good candidates.
One was the "French sports car" Tony Parker, who in Su Feng's memory would be selected by the Spurs in this year's draft.
The second was the future famous "coming out player" Jason Collins.
Although Su Feng has always liked choosing the pain mode, this does not mean that he likes being abused, and he also has to be so chuuni (delusional) that he wants to fight the whole world alone.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Parker is the Raptors' best target in this year's draft.
First of all, in this way, Nash not only has a reliable backup, but even when necessary, Parker can also play with Nash at the same time, forming a dual-point guard connection.
In addition, as a rookie, Parker will not take up too much of Nash's playing time.
Moreover, unlike Ginobili and others, Parker is also an international player who can immediately land in the NBA.
Therefore, Su Feng is determined to get these two top sports cars this time with "full payment."
As for Collins...
Honestly, Ben being beaten up a lot in the game this year is really related to his lack of a reliable substitute.
After all, no matter how strong Ben is, he can't always be full of energy in the game.
And in Su Feng's memory, setting aside his sexual orientation, Collins is at least a pretty good interior utility player.
Therefore, on this day, after discussing with Davis, Su Feng had already begun to look forward to the Raptors' next season...
And...
Britney's JK uniform "moe" language teaching at night.
