Chapter 214

The day after the Raptors defeated the Suns, a large discussion began online among fans about how to limit the Raptors' frontline.

Clearly, even though Su Feng's words during the interview yesterday were somewhat of a joke...

But after Carter showed the world his "no less than Su Feng's" burst rate last night, how to defend both Su Feng and Carter in the playoffs has become a question for the ages.

Moreover, some pessimists in the market believe that even if you can contain Su Feng and Carter in the game, it's useless.

Because don't forget, there is also an All-Star player like McGrady in their starting lineup.

This season, with the season progressing, those fans who thought that Jordan's retirement would weaken the Raptors at the beginning of the season...

Have now switched to the camp that Jordan relied on hugging these geniuses to win his sixth championship.

To be fair, if Jordan chooses to come back in the future in this life...

Then, in Su Feng's view, none of the fans who said such things will escape.

...

On the 3rd, the Raptors rested for a day.

On the 4th, on Su Feng's actual 22nd birthday night, the Raptors welcomed their second regular season match against the Lakers at Staples Center.

As a result, this battle between the Eastern and Western Conference powerhouses, which had attracted much attention before the game, turned into a two-man show between Su Feng and Kobe due to O'Neal's absence.

Before the game, because O'Neal's right big toe was uncomfortable, Phil Jackson decisively put this big-headed fish on the injury list for safety reasons.

On the Internet, although many fans joked that O'Neal was afraid of Su Feng and dared not play when they learned of this news, according to reliable sources within the Lakers, Su Feng knew very well that O'Neal was really injured this time.

This season, because of the continuous pressure from Su Feng, the shark is playing much harder on the court than in Su Feng's previous life.

In addition to Reebok's terrible shoe design, in Su Feng's opinion, O'Neal is lucky not to have a season-ending injury.

In short, O'Neal's physique is too durable.

Otherwise, with his size, playing desperately for more than 40 minutes per game, even if he is Superman, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, although the Raptors smoothly won this key battle with the Lakers in O'Neal's absence, Su Feng's high school classmate messed with his mentality on his 22nd birthday.

Because in this game against the Lakers, under Kobe's smothering defense, Su Feng only made 7 of 26 shots and barely scored 25 points with free throws.

It has to be said that Kobe is indeed the person in this league who knows Su Feng best.

Because in this game, in the one-on-one battle between the two, you could clearly see that Kobe not only rarely fell for Su Feng's fakes, but he could also always predict Su Feng's next move.

In the words of Kobe fans, Kobe's proficiency in defending Su Feng is simply heartbreaking.

Because how much beating does it take to defend Su Feng so well one-on-one?

As for the honey fans who didn't get to see Emperor Feng go wild on his birthday night, they believe that Su Feng's poor performance in this game was entirely due to O'Neal's absence, which led to Emperor Feng's lack of motivation.

After all, if you look at the record of Su Feng and O'Neal's career encounters, you will find that whenever Su Feng and O'Neal compete on the same court, Su Feng can always play like a "god descending to earth."

It can be seen that this statement by the honey fans is not without reason.

Of course, whether O'Neal himself can accept this statement is unknown.

It is worth mentioning that after this game against the Lakers, Su Feng also learned good news from Kobe.

That is, Kobe's parents have agreed to Kobe and Vanessa's marriage.

This season, as early as his first visit to Philadelphia, Su Feng had subtly enlightened Joe Bryant.

In addition, some of the routines that Su Feng taught Kobe and Vanessa also changed Joe Bryant's impression of Vanessa a lot.

Therefore, not long ago, when Kobe proposed that he wanted to marry Vanessa next year, Joe Bryant did not quarrel with Kobe like in Su Feng's previous life.

However, in Joe Bryant's view, even if Kobe and Vanessa are truly in love, they must have a prenuptial agreement before marriage.

Naturally, "Iron Head" Kobe could not agree to this.

Fortunately, just as Kobe and Vanessa's marriage was about to fall into a deadlock again, Su Feng took the initiative to stand up and protect the smiles of this young couple.

As early as his last visit to Philadelphia this season, Su Feng took the initiative to find Joe Bryant and explained the pros and cons to him.

At a critical moment, some of the investments that Vanessa had made in his parents' names in Kobe's name played a decisive role.

In Su Feng's original timeline, there were various opinions about Kobe and Vanessa's marriage.

Some said that Kobe's parents didn't want to see the money earned by their hard-working son flowing into the pockets of outsiders in the future;

Some said that Kobe himself lacked emotional intelligence, which led to him falling out with his parents;

Others said that Kobe's parents wanted to find a purely African-American partner for Kobe...

In short, although these statements are all based on people's guesses, in this life, after being involved in Kobe's family affairs, Su Feng is very clear that these guesses are basically very close to the truth.

Therefore, after straightening out the relationship, Su Feng knew that if he wanted to prevent the tragedy of Kobe breaking with his parents from happening, he had to first solve Kobe's parents' "lemon psychology."

In fact, if you try to think from another perspective, it is not difficult to understand why Kobe's parents are extremely opposed to Kobe and Vanessa's marriage.

Because first of all, in any case, Joe Bryant is not the kind of irresponsible black father.

In the early years, in order to earn enough money for Kobe to study in the future, Joe Bryant, who couldn't make a living in the NBA, not only chose to go to Italy to play basketball to support his family, but also brought his wife and children to Milan to avoid Kobe's childhood lacking fatherly love.

Just based on Joe Bryant's contribution to Kobe, it is not comparable to ordinary black fathers.

Secondly, in the early days of Kobe's entry into the NBA, Joe Bryant also used his connections to help Kobe a lot.

For example, in the Lakers during the Harris era, Kobe received a lot of help from Harris.

However, what did Kobe do after he insisted on marrying Vanessa?

Because Vanessa's family was very poor, after Kobe and Vanessa entered their honeymoon period, Vanessa's family basically received gifts from Kobe.

Well, from this point of view, Kobe didn't do anything wrong.

After all, it is human nature to love the house and its crow.

But the key point is that from the perspective of Kobe's parents, they have not received any feedback from their son, but the benefits have been taken by "outsiders." How can they bear this?

Therefore, Su Feng specifically reminded Vanessa of this when they first met.

And the fact proves...

Vanessa's EQ is indeed extraordinary.

Because last summer, under Su Feng's guidance, Vanessa used Kobe's name to make a lot of investments for Kobe's family.

As a result, Joe Bryant's lemon psychology in this life is not so serious.

In addition, Su Feng, a big man, is constantly saying good things about Vanessa in front of him, which makes Joe Bryant gradually have less prejudice against Vanessa.

Therefore, the process of Su Feng persuading Joe Bryant in the end was very simple.

Look, your son is so filial now. Do you want to see him live a painful life?

Hey, if that girl really wants your son's money, would she let Kobe help you make so many investments?

In addition, does what I, the number one player in the NBA, say have no persuasive power?

So, in this way, under Su Feng's continuous brainwashing offensive, Joe Bryant "surrendered."

"Okay, I think you are right, Su. After all, you are Kobe's best friend. In a sense, you know Kobe better than we do.

And just like you said, as Kobe's parents, we don't want to see Kobe live a painful life."

After careful consideration, Joe Bryant said to Su Feng.

Hearing this, Su Feng really wanted to tell Joe Bryant...

In this world, no one knows Kobe better than him.

"Su, thank you. Without your help, I feel like I would never be able to convince my parents in my life," Kobe said, sharing the joy of his upcoming marriage with Su Feng immediately after the Lakers' game with the Raptors.

"Then here comes the question, Kobe, have you forgotten something?" Putting his arm around Kobe's shoulder, Su Feng pointed to the date on his phone screen and said.

"Don't worry, how could I forget your birthday?" After giggling, Kobe walked to the Lakers' bench and took out a box that looked familiar to Su Feng from under a seat.

Then...

There was no then.

In his previous life, as a fan, Su Feng's biggest wish was to get a pair of shoes signed by Kobe.

But in this life...

Very good, very good.

That's you, Kobe!

Just wait!

This year, when you guys make it to the Finals, if I don't defend you until you doubt your life, then I'm sorry to myself!

...

On the 5th, the day after defeating the Lakers, Su Feng, who had been stabbed in the heart by Kobe, went to Phoenix with the team to face the Suns in a back-to-back game.

As a result, in this game, Suns coach Skiles was once again beaten until he doubted his life.

Because in this game, Su Feng played as if he was playing in the Finals.

"Do we really have a grudge against the Raptors?"

On the sidelines, looking at Su Feng, who was playing so hard on the court, Skiles couldn't figure it out while touching his forehead...

In the end, the Raptors slaughtered the Suns again on the road with a score of 125 to 94, and Su Feng also got a luxurious stat line of 48 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

"The Raptors have 7 games left this season. I don't think anyone will doubt that they can create new history now."

After the game, on TNT, Kenny Smith, as a senior Raptors fan, had already opened the champagne to celebrate the Raptors in advance.

And I don't know if it was because Smith was poisoned by milk...

On the 7th, after returning to Toronto, the Raptors unexpectedly lost to the Jazz.

In this game, because of the recent tight schedule, the Raptors, who had just returned to Toronto from the West, were obviously not in good shape.

On the other hand, Malone seemed to have taken medicine.

Throughout the game, the old Malone, who was in excellent condition, not only outplayed Little O'Neal on offense, but also successfully grabbed 18 defensive rebounds and had 3 blocks and 2 steals on defense.

And with this, a new NBA hot topic has also emerged.

That is, this season, the Jazz are the only team that the Raptors have not won against.

Therefore, for a time, many teams that regarded the Raptors as their number one enemy began to study this Jazz team.

However, no matter how these teams studied, they never figured out how the Jazz managed to beat the Raptors twice this season...

To be honest, compared to the Jazz team that could meet the Bulls in the Finals back then, this Jazz team looks like a team of retirees no matter how you look at it.

But they just happen to be able to beat the Raptors twice.

And the teams that can't figure this out may not believe it...

In fact, even the Jazz themselves don't understand how they beat the Raptors.

After giving the Raptors their 8th loss of the season, coach Sloan smiled in an interview after the game: "Maybe we were just lucky."

Sloan knew very well that in the two games where the Jazz defeated the Raptors, he didn't actually make any specific arrangements.

It was just because the Jazz happened to run into a relatively weak Raptors twice, so they happened to complete the season sweep of the Raptors.

And after losing to the Jazz, with 6 games left in the regular season, this game also reminded the Raptors.

Now, Davis, who can make his own judgments without Su Feng's hints, is very clear that the Raptors have reached the stage where they must adjust.

This season, because of the opportunity to create history, the Raptors' game intensity has been very high.

As a result, the Raptors' players' game load has invisibly increased a lot.

Although Davis has turned on the ultimate move of "killing Su Feng" since March...

But basketball games are ultimately played by five people.

In Su Feng's previous life, even the Warriors, who had a solid foundation in the future, showed signs of fatigue after winning 73 games.

Therefore, if the Raptors continue to maintain this game intensity in the remaining regular season games, the Raptors will inevitably pay a corresponding price.

And in order to allow the Raptors to meet the upcoming playoffs in full condition...

On the 9th, before the game against the Bucks, Davis decisively made the decision to start resting the main players.

Of course, as before, Su Feng is not included in Davis's rest plan this time.

It is worth mentioning that on the evening of the 8th, just as Su Feng was preparing to rush to the NBA's best record in history with his teammates...

Yao, who had just led the Shanghai team to win the CBA championship, also officially arrived in the United States.

According to Yao's American agent Bill Duffy's plan for Yao, this time Yao will conduct two months of special training in the United States and accept trial training invitations from many NBA teams.

"Here, is this the city where Brother Feng played for two years?"

Philadelphia, USA, Yao, who will accept trial training from the 76ers in a week, muttered to himself.

...

ps: Hey, don't spread rumors that I'm watching the S game and not coding... I'm almost bald these two days trying to finish the plot.

To be honest, Qiao is now just looking at the reports of the S game, but for fun.

And Qiao now only has this hobby besides watching the Lakers games. Can't you even let Qiao take a look at the reports? (Crying! Asking for monthly tickets!)
