Chapter 1 Milicic and Big Z Jump Ball

In the center of the court, Milicic and Big Z began the jump ball to start the game.

Looking at the slightly thin Milicic, Big Z clearly hadn't expected that this kid would be fearless of his big, white elbow.

Facts prove that getting beat up is always the fastest way for a young player to grow.

As a young player who grew up under Su Feng's iron elbows, Big Z couldn't make up for the huge difference in jumping ability between him and Milicic with just the threat of his elbows.

Emmm...

Although Milicic's jumping ability isn't considered good among the jumping freaks in the NBA, it's more than enough to bully inside players like Big Z, who basically never leave the ground.

After the jump ball, the Heat launched their first attack.

"Streetball King" Alston was responsible for dribbling the ball across the half-court.

And to the disappointment of the fans in the arena...

The Cavaliers' first defensive move was for former Celtics legend Paul Silas to arrange Stoudemire to defend Su Feng.

Wait a minute...

What about James vs. Su Feng, 23 against 23?

Why did we take our pants off just to see this?

"Well, that's interesting. The Cavaliers are playing a one-three-one zone defense to start the game tonight." Zhang指导 said as he analyzed the Cavaliers' opening defense on CCTV.

Clearly, Silas and his Cavaliers came prepared tonight.

Because the Heat's three-point shooting percentage wasn't high in the preseason, Silas's defensive setup at the start of the game was clearly designed to prevent Su Feng from easily breaking through on the court.

At the same time, using Stoudemire's height and athleticism, the Cavaliers could also effectively disrupt Su Feng on the perimeter.

Faced with such a sophisticated defense from the Cavaliers, Alston, who hadn't seen much of the world yet, immediately panicked.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do next?

After taking a deep breath, the slightly nervous Alston tried to pass the ball to Odom, who had moved to the top of the key.

However...

The "Streetball King" clearly underestimated the defensive range of James, the top pick.

Compared to the half-tank James and the tank James of the future, James at this time was definitely an assassin James.

In Su Feng's previous life, any fan who had watched James's games during his rookie season would have been deeply impressed by his amazing speed.

Basically, James could go from his own half of the court to the opponent's paint in just three seconds.

Alston's pass wasn't fast enough, and he didn't fully anticipate James's steal.

*Pa!*

On the court, after slapping the ball down with lightning speed, James quickly dribbled the ball to launch a counterattack.

And by the time Odom wanted to chase back...

James was already flying high in the sky.

*Kuang Dang!*

What a rim-rattling dunk!

The nearly 20,000 Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena couldn't believe that James had completed his first career basket in such a way before they could even warm their seats.

"Holy sh*t!"

And on CCTV...

Looking at the young player on the court whose age and appearance didn't match at all, Zhang指导 subconsciously revealed his true colors.

In addition, it's worth mentioning that after scoring this basket for the Cavaliers, James patted his chest and pointed at Su Feng with his hand.

My King!

Do you remember the Akron boy who had to jump with all his might to reach the rim in front of you back then?

Looking back at that winter day in 1997, it was under Su Feng's witness that 12-year-old LeBron James completed the first dunk of his life.

And on this autumn day in 2003, it was also under Su Feng's witness that 18-year-old LeBron James completed his first dunk in an NBA game.

"Is this the talent of the 'Duke of Cleveland'?"

American fans watching the game on TV were already attracted by James's incredible talent.

Faced with this knife stabbed by his successor...

Although his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe, Su Feng, knowing that the close-up lens was definitely on him, politely and awkwardly curled the corners of his mouth.

But...

On TNT, Barkley, who knew Su Feng best, said after seeing Su Feng's fake smile, "Su is already angry."

Beside him, Smith always felt that this fat guy sitting next to him was trying to steal his job.

So, Smith, feeling that he also knew Su Feng quite well, said, "What makes you say that, Charles?"

"You don't know, Kenny... Su is actually a very petty person.

Tonight, LeBron issued a challenge to him in front of so many viewers, and in my opinion, he will definitely respond with his actions." Barkley said.

Petty...?

Petty?

How dare you!

Someone, quickly throw this "Flying Pig" out!

How dare you say my Feng Emperor is petty?

As a loyal fan of Su Feng, if it weren't for Barkley's big elbows, he, Smith, would have had a good debate with Barkley!

On the court, the Heat were on the attack.

Su Feng took the initiative to move to the top of the arc to facilitate.

As everyone knows, no matter what kind of zone defense you play, as long as the attacking side has someone who can stand in the free-throw line area, the zone defense will collapse.

Originally, Silas's purpose in using the one-three-one zone tonight was to prevent Su Feng from easily receiving the ball on the court.

However, using his height and wingspan, Su Feng signaled Alston to directly lob the ball to him.

And now, Little Stoudemire, who originally thought his athleticism was quite good...

Was instantly petrified on the spot!

Because if he wasn't mistaken...

Su Feng had grabbed the ball out of the air with one hand!

In Su Feng's opinion, it was indeed a good idea for the Cavaliers to use Little Si to match up with him tonight.

Because even if he couldn't keep up with his first step, Little Si could use his physical advantages to disrupt him.

Plus, the Cavaliers still had Big Z inside at this time, so Little Si didn't have to worry about the Cavaliers' inside being left in a vacuum after he was passed by Su Feng.

But...

You can learn anything, why did you have to learn the one-three-one zone?

Anyone with a little common sense knows that even a zone defense made up of five people will have loopholes.

The reason why the Celtics used the one-three-one zone to deal with Su Feng in the Eastern Conference Finals was because the Raptors lacked other offensive options on the court after Carter and Little O'Neal were successively injured.

In addition, the Celtics had Duncan, a mobile fortress, so they didn't have to worry about what to do in a one-on-two or one-on-three situation.

And in the 18/19 season, the reason why the Raptors used this trick in the Finals was because the Warriors had lost Durant and, apart from Klay, had no other players on the court who could effectively support Curry.

In addition, Little Ka could also defend two players at once in certain situations, so the Raptors effectively limited Curry's performance on the court by using the one-three-one zone.

But compared to the tactic itself, what Su Feng found most ridiculous was...

After the Raptors made this move famous, some armchair fans and commentators praised Nas for being a tactical genius who created this tactic that could effectively limit shooters.

Wake up!

As early as the 90s, Inoue Takehiko had drawn the one-three-one zone in the *Slam Dunk* manga, so if you calculate it that way, wouldn't Nas have to call Inoue Takehiko his ancestor?

In fact, the one-three-one zone was widely used by European teams in the FIBA arena as early as the 90s.

The purpose of developing this tactic was to target the opponent's shooters on the court.

Therefore, if you say that Nas made innovations on the basis of the one-three-one zone, then at least you have copyright awareness and know how to respect the labor achievements of your predecessors.

However, if you say that this tactic was created by him, then in Su Feng's opinion, that's just too ridiculous.

So, now the question is...

In basketball, is the one-three-one zone really that magical?

The answer is:

It depends on the objective conditions under which the tactic is launched.

In those two rounds of the Eastern Conference Finals, Auerbach's main purpose in using the one-three-one zone was to cut off the connection between Su Feng and his teammates.

Therefore, in those two rounds of the Eastern Conference Finals, Auerbach openly played the one-three-one zone, but his real killer move behind the scenes was the "Su Feng Rule".

Because in basketball, it's difficult to completely limit players like Su Feng from an objective point of view.

Just like Stoudemire could only watch helplessly as Su Feng grabbed the ball with one hand in front of him.

Even if you replaced him with James, James couldn't prevent Su Feng from receiving the ball.

From a tactical point of view, the one-three-one zone is more effective at defending against the opponent's off-ball shooters.

Plus, smaller guards are more easily covered by forwards and wings, so when Curry is surrounded by "immortal teammates", he often runs back and forth on the court without being able to touch the ball.

However, because Su Feng can easily break the situation, Silas, who only learned the basics from the "Red Bishop"...

Is destined to become a clown tonight.

On the court, the moment Su Feng held the ball at the high post, the attention of the two Cavaliers defenders on the wings was instantly drawn to him.

As a powerful high-post facilitator, how amazing was Su Feng's destructive power against zone defenses after developing a certain degree of organizational ability this summer?

He didn't even need to make the next attacking move, and Milicic, who was roaming to the right wing at 45 degrees, had already appeared in the open spot!

On the wing, Milicic received Su Feng's pass!

Immediately afterward, this handsome guy from the Balkan Peninsula completed a jump shot with his left hand as easily as if he were training.

*Swish!*

2-2!

This was Su Feng's first assist in the 03/04 season and also in his Heat career!

At the same time, this was also Milicic's first basket of his career.

"Good shot, you have to have this kind of momentum!

As long as you have the opportunity, just shoot boldly." On the court, while retreating, Su Feng patted Milicic on the back and encouraged him.

Hearing this, Milicic, who had been suffering from criticism recently, nodded and thought:

Although Su Feng is usually very strict with me, he is really gentle when he is gentle...

The game continued, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

At this time, a dramatic scene also appeared at the American Airlines Arena.

Because on the Heat's side, the person responsible for guarding James tonight...

Was actually Alston!

Oh my god!

With Alston's small frame, could he withstand James's huge body?

The answer is...

Of course not!

On the court, watching James approach him step by step with the ball...

At this moment, Alston wanted to die!

But according to Su Feng's instructions before the game, after summoning his courage, Alston still rushed toward James decisively.

Because this James has a certain ability to shoot "sudden arrows" from the outside, so before the game, Su Feng asked Alston to not allow him to easily shoot when defending James.

As everyone knows, even if you have an advantage in absolute height on the basketball court, you still need space to complete a pull-up shot.

Therefore, it doesn't matter even if Alston loses his position while defending.

As long as he can harass James like a fly by his side.

James at this time doesn't know how to post up yet, and even if his fundamentals far exceed his historical contemporaries, skills...

How can they undergo qualitative changes without three to five years of tempering?

However, because Alston was sticking very close, when James chose to break through...

Alston had no way to stop him.

But...

As soon as James broke in, he noticed something was wrong with his high level of alertness.

Because in an instant...

Odom and Su Feng joined forces to block his way forward!

Helpless, James didn't dare to force his way through when facing Su Feng and Odom.

But...

When he jumped up and threw the ball to the perimeter, an embarrassing aspect of the Cavaliers' lineup also appeared.

That is...

They don't have a shooter.

Big Z, standing at the high post, has Milicic in front of him.

And the average three-point attempts per game last season for Ricky Davis and Kedrick Brown combined were only 5 times.

As for Little Si...

In this life, after losing Nash's feeding, Little Si's mid-range shooting is currently only at a capable level.

So, this is why the Heat didn't use Su Feng to match up with James at the start.

Because in Riley's opinion...

With the Cavaliers' perimeter level...

They don't deserve the Heat to specifically target them.

As long as the Heat have more people standing inside when James breaks in, won't that be enough?

If the Cavaliers' perimeter players can really shoot the Heat to death...

Then he, Riley, might as well go out and buy a lottery ticket.

*Kuang Dang!*

On the perimeter, Davis, who received James's pass, missed a three-pointer.

Under Odom's positioning, Su Feng turned around and grabbed the rebound.

It is worth mentioning that while the Cavaliers were retreating, Davis actually complained to James that he didn't make the shot because James passed too slowly...

In Su Feng's previous life, although the words Davis said when he left the Cavaliers were misinterpreted by the media, the fact is that this guy's death wasn't unjust at all.

While playing for the Cavaliers, Davis even rushed towards his own basket in a game to get a triple-double.

As a result, even the Jazz players on the other side couldn't stand it and stepped forward to hug him, spreading the light of justice on the earth.

In order to prevent such bad things from happening, the league also introduced penalties for deliberately shooting at one's own basket.

In addition, although it is an unwritten rule in the NBA that rookies carry bags for veteran players, there are probably not many veterans in the league who have a low EQ like Davis, who needs James to help him carry his shoes.

In the future, after fading out of the NBA and going to the CBA, Davis also left an unforgettable impression on the Jiangsu fans of that year...

In the 9 games he played for the Jiangsu team, Davis, who played an average of 30.8 minutes per game, was able to score 13.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

On the court, it's okay if this guy doesn't use his physical talent to grab rebounds, but with the insane number of missed shots he takes on the court, who knows how tired the Jiangsu fans were watching him at the time.

So...

Don't blame Davis's words for being misrepresented...

Because the brain-dead things this guy has done make it really hard to believe that he didn't say those words.

"I understand, I will try to pass the ball better next time." On the court, James smiled and replied, looking at Davis.

Hearing this, Davis, who felt that James was a very obedient younger brother, immediately smiled.

On the court, the Heat were on the attack.

Still the same tactic as just now, after Su Feng received the pass near the free-throw line, the Cavaliers' zone defense instantly collapsed.

Milicic scored another mid-range two-pointer on the wing.

2-4.

"Wow! This Milicic can shoot." On CCTV, Zhang指导 had obviously forgotten his previous criticism of Milicic at this moment.

On TNT, Barkley laughed and said, "This is why Jermaine is always able to play efficiently around Su.

Because with a top player like this leading you, even if you are Charles Barkley, you can easily get 20 points or more."

Beside him...

Smith wanted to mock Barkley when he heard Barkley's first sentence...

But who would have thought that this "Flying Pig" would even give up his face in order to lick Su Feng!

Wait a minute...

You're one of the NBA's "50 Greatest Players", what's the point of constantly mocking yourself here?

As for the disdainful look Smith gave him...

Barkley felt that Smith didn't understand the relationship between him and Su Feng at all.

During his time in Toronto, Barkley not only accompanied Su Feng to the peak, but he also personally witnessed how Quan Li Feng fought to the last moment during the first two years of his Raptors career.

Therefore, in Barkley's opinion...

What's wrong with being stepped on a few times?

If it weren't for Su Feng working so hard, how could he, Barkley, have retired with a championship ring?

On the court, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Under Davis's eye signal, James hurriedly passed the ball to him.

At this time, Su Feng was completely convinced by Davis.

Because even if James breaks in tonight, he will definitely be double-teamed...

But with James's basketball IQ, playing Alston is a natural mismatch.

However...

Is this Davis really out of his mind to choose to challenge himself?

Hey...

Don't tell me!

This guy seems to really think so!

On the court, after dribbling the ball flamboyantly a few times in a row, Davis decisively charged towards Su Feng's defense.

Then...

What then?

*Pa!*

After spreading his long arms, Su Feng easily took advantage of Davis's weakness of dribbling too high and cut off the basketball in his hand. Volcano Literature

In the middle, Milicic quickly shook off Big Z and went down, receiving Su Feng's pass and dunking it in!

2-6!

At the American Airlines Arena, the nearly 20,000 Heat fans in the arena never expected that after the opening, Milicic, who had been criticized before, would score 6 points for them in a row!

Ah, this!

This performance of the third pick looks pretty good, doesn't it?

On CCTV, Zhang指导 praised Su Feng: "There's a change, we can clearly see tonight...

Compared to his time with the Raptors, Su Feng has increased his passing and changed his previous playing style."

On the court, because he knew that this game was not only his first encounter with James, but also the first contest between the top pick and the third pick of the 03 class...

Therefore, in order for Milicic to gain confidence through this battle, Su Feng decisively encouraged him when Milicic ran over to high-five him:

"Hey, Darko, do you dare to shoot a ball from that spot?"

Hearing this, Milicic almost fell on the court as he looked in the direction Su Feng pointed.

"Su... do I really have to shoot from that spot?" Milicic swallowed and said.

"What? You don't dare?" Su Feng picked his nose and said.

"No, no, no... I mean, as long as you pass it, I dare!" Looking at Su Feng's intelligent expression, Milicic replied firmly.

The game continued, and the Cavaliers were on the attack.

Davis, who had just been directly stolen by Su Feng in the previous possession, was still not giving up.

On the wing, receiving James's pass, he charged strongly into the paint.

In order to avoid being stolen by Su Feng, Davis was obviously smarter this time.

But when he broke through, the way he held the basketball tightly with all his strength was extremely ridiculous.

As a result, he wasn't stolen by Su Feng...

But when he shot, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and directly snatched the ball from the top of his head!

On TNT, Barkley exclaimed when he saw this: "Su... robbed Ricky Davis!"

Beside him, Smith panicked when he saw Barkley shouting louder than him!

In the Heat's paint, after landing, Su Feng glared at Davis, who was trying to snatch the ball back, and immediately made the guy stand there blankly.

Immediately afterward, after quickly dribbling the ball through the half-court, before the fans at the American Airlines Arena could sit down, Su Feng passed the basketball back to Milicic, who had just crossed the half-court and whose heels were stepping on the Heat's center court logo.

Milicic's three-point shooting was okay in the summer.

But this kind of logo three-pointer...

Is purely because Su Feng asked him to shoot, so he dared to throw it so wildly.

After all, in this era, which serious player dares to mess around like this?

On the Heat's bench, Riley felt like he had been stabbed in the chest when he saw Milicic, who was already posing to shoot.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he saw that Su Feng had tacitly approved this shot, Riley would have really wanted to rush onto the court and kick Milicic off.

On the court, the Cavaliers players were still retreating...

How could they have imagined that this seven-foot-tall Balkan handsome guy would dare to shoot from this spot?

No way, no way!

He wouldn't really dare to shoot from that spot, would he?

In the logo area, Milicic completed his shot!

As a Balkan sniper with a range of only 3 or 4 times the mirror, this time, Milicic was somewhat blindly throwing it.

But the purpose Su Feng wanted had already been achieved.

That is, under his painstaking cultivation, Milicic's future is definitely promising!

In the Cavaliers' paint, Little Si and Big Z, who were preparing to position themselves to grab the rebound, swallowed hard when they saw the trajectory of Milicic's shot.

Because they wondered...

Could this ball really go in?

Unlike dunks, the greatest charm of three-pointers, especially ultra-long three-pointers, lies in this.

That is, while waiting for the basketball to fly, you, as a viewer, will always be full of expectations for this ball.

If a dunk over someone brings an instant visual impact,

Then an ultra-long three-pointer is a mind-blowing shot.

*Swish!*

Mom, I made it!

On the court, Milicic, who felt like he had made a lucky shot, excitedly hugged Su Feng, who had passed him the ball, the moment the basketball swished through the net.

"I made it! Su! I really made it!"

At this moment, what Milicic was enjoying was the purest joy that basketball brought him.

Unlike the talented teenager Su Feng remembered, who endured again and again in order to support himself...

On October 29, 2003, Milicic's smile was like ten miles of peach blossoms that could not be exchanged even in three lifetimes!

"You didn't just make it, you also forced the other side to call a timeout, Darko." Su Feng, who was being hugged by Milicic, pointed to Silas, the Cavaliers' coach, who was already walking towards the scorer's table.

"Yes! I forced the other side to call a timeout! I forced the other side to call a timeout!" At this time, Milicic's eyes instantly became moist.

"Thank you! And thank you, Kobe! It's you who made me who I am today!" On the court, Milicic said to Su Feng from the bottom of his heart as he walked back to the bench with Su Feng.

On the Heat's bench...

I don't know why...

Anyway, Ginobili just felt like he was suffocating.

Ah!

What should I do!

My restless heart!

I really want to go up and take such a wild shot!

In Su Feng's previous life, many fans who had watched Ginobili's games said that Ginobili in the Argentine national team was the complete version of Ginobili.

Because in the Argentine national team...

Ginobili doesn't need to worry about Popovich's face.

Emmm...

Although he didn't worry about Popovich's face many times when he was with the Spurs.

But stylistically, Ginobili would still restrain his suppressed heart appropriately.

But tonight...

Looking at Milicic, who was performing so well, how could Ginobili endure it?

"Tsk! I haven't even taken a shot yet, and my demon blade is already eager for battle?"

On the Heat's bench, looking at Ginobili's expression, which made him want to go up and fight, Su Feng felt that his second-in-commands were braver than the others tonight.

On the court, after the timeout, the game continued.

After this timeout, the Cavaliers decisively switched back to man-to-man defense for the rest of the first quarter.

And Su Feng also used his signature "Feng's pull-up" to score his first two points of his Heat era when there were 5 minutes and 25 seconds left in the first quarter!

Compared to the preseason, the Heat tonight were clearly a different team.

On the offensive end, taking advantage of Su Feng's ability to attract double-teams on the court, all three of the Heat's other starters besides Odom had points on the board in the first quarter.

On the defensive end, under Su Feng's leadership, this Heat team also showed a high degree of discipline.

When the two teams' first quarter ended, the Cavaliers were behind 21-33.

James, who exploded the whole audience at the beginning of the first quarter, only took 3 shots in the subsequent games.

And in these 3 shots, apart from one failed impact on the basket...

The other 2 times were the "sudden arrows" that Su Feng had to bear historical responsibility for.

Relying on these two three-pointers, James had 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist at the end of the first quarter.

As early as the end of the special training this summer, Su Feng had used the iron-hitting system's query function to query James's current shooting value.

As he remembered, even though he had corrected some of James's early technical flaws in this life, James's catch-and-shoot was still not as good as his dribble-up pull-up.

But...

In terms of James's own style, once he has a certain ability to dribble up for a three-pointer, then his threat on the court will be completely different from before.

Therefore, when he saw this young James's dribble-up three-pointer of up to 76 points...

Su Feng had already silently mourned for all the point guards in this league for three seconds.

"Su, in the second quarter, Coach Pat Riley shouldn't arrange for me to match up with LeBron, right?" During the intermission, on the Heat's bench, Ginobili asked Su Feng carefully, looking at him.

At this time, Su Feng, who was still admiring his gorgeous first-quarter data of 9 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, smiled and ruffled Ginobili's head and said:

"Don't worry, I haven't welcomed LeBron to the NBA tonight yet."

Hearing this, Ginobili breathed a sigh of relief.

On the court, in the second quarter, both teams made substitutions.

On the Heat's side, Mourning replaced Odom, while Ginobili and Korver replaced Alston and Butler respectively.

On the Cavaliers' side, James, who hadn't learned to play health basketball yet, was left on the court by Silas to lead the team.

The other four Cavaliers players were Diop, Eddie Griffin, Darius Miles, and James Jones.

After the intermission, the game continued.

The Cavaliers were on the attack.

At the American Airlines Arena, the nearly 20,000 Heat fans in the arena were excited when they saw Su Feng finally match up with James.

On TNT, Barkley also said: "This is a historic moment! The 'Duke of Cleveland' is facing the king of this league!"

On the court, looking at the Heat No. 23 who appeared in front of him, James's dribbling rhythm and the expression of his whole person had changed significantly compared to before.

Online, before the game tonight, some fans thought that the reason why James mentioned Su Feng many times in public was because he wanted to rub Su Feng's heat.

But...

For James, who met Su Feng by chance at the age of 12, ordinary people simply don't know Su Feng's status in his heart.

You know, at that time, he was just a poor boy from Akron.

And as early as that winter day in 1997, Su Feng was already an All-Star player in the NBA.

So, rubbing heat?

No...

These people simply don't know what Su Feng means to James!

On the court, after Ricky Davis's interference was gone...

While dribbling the ball at the high post, James yelled at Diop, who was about to come over to screen for him.

No detours!

No fancy moves!

After gathering all his strength, holding his awe of Su Feng, James charged towards the king's paint like a lion on the African prairie!

Bang!

Listen...

This is the sound of muscle collision!

Bang!

This is also the sound of dreams echoing in the American Airlines Arena!

6 years!

In order to compete with Su Feng on the same court, in order to realize Su Feng's expectations for him, for 6 years, James has been running non-stop, just to catch up with the version of himself in Su Feng's mind!

And now, it's time to tell Su Feng, it's time to tell the NBA...

I...

LeBron James is here!

"Oh my God, LeBron broke through Su's defense!

He broke away from gravity, he took off, he spread his wings like an eagle!"

On TNT, Barkley was speeding up his pace while observing the contest between James and Su Feng.

But...

Just when all the fans thought that James had shaken off Su Feng's defense...

Su Feng once again proved to the world...

Gravity doesn't exist at all!

At this moment, the winds of the world seemed to be blowing for Su Feng!

Just as James had already raised his axe to chop at the basket, Su Feng actually used his left hand to firmly press down on the ball in James's hand!

On CCTV, Yu Jia, who was partnering with Zhang指导, shouted: "They all say that James is Su Feng's successor, but if I don't give it to you, you can't take it!

This is the king of the NBA! Su Feng... killed LeBron James in the air!"

Bang!

At the American Airlines Arena, as James's dunk was blocked out of bounds by Su Feng, James's body slammed to the floor due to loss of balance.

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie!"

Just as James was regretting that he almost dunked on Su Feng, a familiar big hand had reached out to him.

At this moment, listening to Su Feng's words, James suddenly felt as if he had returned to six years ago.

At that time, in order to protect himself from getting hurt, Su Feng had deliberately let him complete the dunk in front of him, and had caught him when he landed.

And now...

Yeah...

He is no longer the Akron boy he used to be.

"Is this the defensive height you reach when you jump with all your might?" After being pulled up by Su Feng, James asked curiously.

"No... actually, I blocked Kobe once before, and I jumped a little higher than this time." After spreading his hands, Su Feng replied.

Hearing this, James said after biting his thumb, "I promise, I will make you use a height that is even higher than that time to defend me."

"That's impossible, LeBron." Looking at James, Su Feng said solemnly.

"Why?" James asked curiously.

"Because... as a 25-year-old veteran, I've passed the age of competing with young people to see who can jump higher." After sighing, Su Feng said.

James: "..."

Holy crap!

Is this the foundation of the NBA's first man's ability to pretend?

On the court, the Cavaliers inbounded the ball.

James wanted to shoot a "sudden arrow" in front of Su Feng, but under Su Feng's interference, the basketball deviated from the basket.

On the Heat's bench, Riley exclaimed when he saw Su Feng's two successful defenses against James: "Su's defense, even a hundred Scottie Pippens can't compare!"

But...

On the court, Riley hadn't been happy for three seconds...

After receiving Su Feng's pass, Odom, who hadn't scored in the first quarter, was met with a chase-down block from His Highness King Jin!

Su Feng: "..."

Wait, Lamar, you rested for four days, and that's it?

Su Feng was speechless.

To be fair, this ball was definitely the most exquisite pass he had made tonight.

But unfortunately, Odom chose a layup when he could have dunked.

And even if you layup...

Are you a turtle with that slow three-step?

On TNT, Barkley, who saw this, shook his head and said: "Su and LeBron have refreshed my understanding of how wing players protect the rim tonight."

Beside him, Smith also praised James: "Being able to quickly adjust from the blow of being blocked by Su just now, to be honest...

I really don't believe that LeBron is only 18 years old."

Fortunately, although Su Feng wasted a precious assist, the Heat still had possession of the ball because James directly called the basketball out of bounds.

Su Feng personally inbounded the ball, and Ginobili slipped to the left wing with a screen and received Su Feng's pass.

On the Heat's bench, Riley, who had just turned back to call Haslem to prepare to replace Odom, suddenly felt pain in his chest again...

Because on the court, facing Jones's defense, Ginobili, after doing several crossover dribbles in a row and retreating further and further away, was at least two meters away from the three-point line...

And he completed his first shot of the new season like this without warning!

Without any preparation.

Ginobili...

He just threw it when he felt like it!

"Erik... help me contact other teams, we'll trade this guy away tomorrow!" Riley couldn't help but say when he saw this scene.

*Swish!*

As this ultra-long shot swished through the net, Spoelstra looked curiously at his teacher and asked, "Now...

Are we still going to trade him?"

Riley: "..."

Huh?

Trade?

Did I just say such a stupid thing?

Looking back at Spoelstra, Riley asked with a puzzled look: "What trade? What I just said was that I wanted to personally make Manu breakfast tomorrow!"

Spoelstra: "..."

Wow!

Good fellow!

Is this the self-cultivation of a famous coach?

On CCTV...

Zhang指导, who was still saying that Ginobili shouldn't dribble so wildly a second ago, was also petrified on the spot.

"Zhang指导, do you think this ball was a reasonable shot by Ginobili?" Yu Jia asked curiously from the side.

Zhang Weiping: "..."

American Airlines Arena.

The nearly 20,000 fans in the arena didn't know how to describe this game anymore.

Because is this really the NBA they usually watch?
