Silently Writing
Chapter 338 A Tumultuous Future, Who Is Reality
You know, Brown had really studied this Raptors team for a long time.
And despite Brown's extreme disapproval of Davis' reckless style, he wasn't blind to Su Feng's current strength.
Plus, he'd experienced Philadelphia fans turning against him during a game against the Raptors last season...
So Brown was very clear that in this game, whether for the sake of winning or for the sake of his own heart, he had to prioritize limiting Su Feng.
And to accomplish the mission of limiting Su Feng, which made countless tough guys bend over backwards...
Tonight, Brown not only made the adjustment of starting Oakley, but also personally provided hands-on guidance on the defensive movements of Christie and others at the team's pre-game preparation meeting.
It must be said that Larry Brown really had his own way in terms of defense.
Because tonight, the "screw-twisting formation" he specially set up for Su Feng...
Was more than just insane.
Seriously, given the 76ers' defensive intensity tonight, if you were to replace it with Penny Hardaway, he would probably have to return to the locker room for a painkilling shot after the first quarter.
On the court, at the very beginning of the first quarter, Su Feng's headband being knocked off while breaking through, whether by an elbow or a hand, was the best proof of this.
Tonight, Christie, who received Brown's death order, was responsible for mainly defending Su Feng while...
Recalling the scenes of his wife disciplining him in his mind.
As the saying goes, the head can be broken, blood can flow, but the whip cannot be avoided...
Ah, no, as the saying goes, once you're in formation, you either win or die!
If he couldn't "kill" Su Feng tonight, then Christie would write his name as a tough guy backwards!
Of course, facing Su Feng, Brown didn't completely expect to be able to lock him down with Christie alone.
Therefore, before the game, in addition to guiding Christie's defensive movements, Brown also specifically approached Oakley, hoping that this "villain" could show his most ferocious side in front of Su Feng.
And although Oakley had a deep bromance with Big Ben on the other side...
Please, never doubt Oakley's self-cultivation as a "bad guy."
In his previous life, in the early 21st century, many of the league's new generation players had the honor of experiencing Oakley's style of play.
As a result, even an honest guy like Yao Ming, who didn't usually talk much, thought Oakley wasn't there to play basketball after playing against him.
In addition, before realizing that he was just a "player who could fight well" in Jordan's eyes...
Oakley was also a thorough Jordan fan.
Therefore, as a tough guy from the same era as Jordan, Oakley always felt that Su Feng's current achievements were a bit too "easy."
What bullshit NBA's best perimeter player?
Kid, you think you deserve that?
So, under Brown's instigation, Oakley decided to tell Su Feng in this game:
Playing in the NBA, especially in the NBA right now, you must be mentally prepared to die at any time.
To be fair, since maxing out his personal honors last season, Su Feng felt that his recent days hadn't been easy.
Just like Jordan had to be mentally prepared to be pulled down by three or four people before he could even attempt a dunk...
Even the "old rogue" who was a black player was like this, so what about an international player like Su Feng?
You know, the NBA is extremely xenophobic, even more than a decade later.
Without absolute hard power, even if you can play a few good games in the NBA, you can easily be targeted to death by your opponents and teammates.
You might not believe it if I told you...
In this life, on this road to the top, Su Feng can be said to want to "cry" more and more as he climbs.
Uh...
Don't get me wrong, as a player with a strong mentality, Su Feng wasn't crying because of his situation and experiences.
He was just simply moved by the scene.
Because you say that future Yao Ming played like that...
Why can you still always see sarcasm and ridicule towards Yao Ming on some domestic forums and Tieba?
There are even many people who still firmly believe that Yao Ming is simply suitable for playing basketball because he is tall?
Wake up, cloud fans!
Some players are great not just because one or two people think they are great.
If a player who can make the Italian national team coach say "I would trade my entire team for him" doesn't count as great, then why don't you...
You go do it?
Zhongzhou Gymnasium, Su Feng, who was once again caught in the opponent's iron-blooded interlocking formation, was more than just struggling.
Although words also have their charm.
However, only the Chinese fans who witnessed Su Feng silently picking up his headband from the floor and returning to the court on November 14, 1999...
Could truly feel how difficult everything this 21-year-old Chinese youth had achieved in the NBA was.
From Su Feng's expression, you still couldn't see any anger.
At that moment, even a tough guy like Christie felt a strange respect for Su Feng's handsome face that crossed national borders.
Christie knew that Su Feng's look at him was telling him:
Come on, let's continue.
Heaven is to the left, warriors are to the right.
My charge may turn, but it never retreats.
It is worth mentioning that, as the slow-motion replay of Christie's defense against Su Feng just now, Smith, on TNT, also conveyed his dissatisfaction to the entire North America through his art of language:
"As of now, there are a total of 3 players in the NBA this season who are averaging more than 30 points per game.
They are Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers and Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers...
And Su Feng of the Toronto Raptors.
However, among these three players, we noticed that Su's free throw average is only 7.3 times.
In my opinion, perhaps this is because Su isn't playing hard enough!
After all, when he is fouled by his opponents, Su always chooses to push through them alone, even though he could pass the ball.
So, how can you give him free throws?"
There was no way around it. Even though Stern had already reminded the referees through his assistant Mark, the concept...
Once deeply ingrained in people's minds, it cannot be changed overnight.
In his previous life, although the referees at this time generally performed better than in the future, biased calls were never new on the NBA court.
Take O'Neal and Yao Ming as examples.
It couldn't be called a foul unless there were two people hanging on your arm?
Of course, Su Feng's current situation is a bit different from O'Neal and Yao Ming.
Because the former probably felt that giving him fouls might not be useful...
And the latter was likely targeted because he was too accurate with his free throws.
As for Su Feng...
It depends on the referees' on-the-spot performance.
Because just like you never know that some people can give you a knife in the back after enjoying the full banquet you made for them...
You must know that not everyone in the NBA is Kobe.
Therefore, Su Feng had no way to deal with some referees who just didn't like international players from the bottom of their hearts.
In Su Feng's memory, most of the international players in the future, including Nowitzki, had similar experiences.
That is, even though they had the same style of play, some games the "old driver" could get a dozen free throws, but some games, he was so "soft" that he couldn't even get 2 free throws.
Speaking of which, the most ridiculous thing was a novel Su Feng had read in his previous life called *NBA's No. 1 Cheat*.
Because in that novel, the protagonist named Lin Yi dared to steal Harden's special move.
Seriously, in the NBA, if you are not "of good background," then not everyone can learn the style of the Jingdezhen porcelain king.
Therefore...
Won't the consciences of those black fans who slander "Emperor Feng" being pushed by the league 20 years later hurt?
Every piece of data that Su Feng, who is like this, puts up is genuine "gold."
There is absolutely no "trace" of "garbage" in it!
On the court, the Raptors continued to attack, and Su Feng was as tough as ever.
In Zhang's words, Su Feng was really chasing you and hitting you, without any joking around.
What a joke...
If a few free throws could stop Su Feng's love for basketball, then the muscles he had built up in the past few years couldn't be for picking up girls, right?
You know, the more hellish the difficulty, the more it can stimulate Su Feng's desire to win!
Because, like the Black Eight Bulls back then...
Who needs Larry Brown to "torture" him?
If a real "grind king" hasn't even seen hell, can he still call himself a "grind king"?
Clang!
On the court, after using his rhythm to suppress Christie, Su Feng suddenly turned in the restricted area and completed his shot while avoiding Oakley's "black elbow"!
Although he had a injury waiver, Su Feng wasn't stupid enough to let Oakley elbow him.
As a scoring machine with no emotions, scoring effectively was of course the most cost-effective.
Bang, swish!
2 to 0!
At Zhongzhou Gymnasium, Su Feng responded to Brown's "screw-twisting formation" with this determined opening attack!
On the other hand, Iverson's breakthrough was also full of heroic spirit.
To be fair, although Smith was indeed speaking up for Su Feng just now, the free throws Iverson got were indeed earned with a body full of injuries.
Also, as for that fathead in Los Angeles...
Given his current state, if he gets less than 15 free throws per game, in Su Feng's opinion, it just means that the Lakers' opponents don't want to win.
On the court, Iverson's solo raid also ended with his headband being knocked off by Big Ben.
And because Su Feng didn't get a whistle when he was fouled just now, the referees hesitated and didn't choose to call a foul in return.
So, the same scene appeared on the court.
Iverson silently picked up his headband from the ground, and then, as if nothing had happened, put it back on his cornrows.
It is not known whether the 76ers fans in front of the TV cried...
But the 76ers fans at the scene were already crying.
Because whether it was the toughness shown by Su Feng or the fighting spirit of Iverson...
This was the fundamental reason why the 76ers were able to defeat the Bulls in the Black Eight back then.
If the core player of a team represents the team's character, then the 76ers back then can be said to be the most characterful team in the league.
However...
No matter how beautiful the past is, it cannot withstand the cruel reality.
Swish!
On the court, the game continued. After the referees gave the 76ers a baseline ball, just like just now, Iverson stepped up and hit a half-range fadeaway!
2 to 2!
This summer, after Su Feng helped this depressed "Answer" cut off the confusion in his heart...
He was becoming more and more like the lonely hero who led the 76ers to forcefully take down the Lakers in the Finals at the beginning of the century.
It's just...
Before the 76ers fans at Zhongzhou Gymnasium could cheer for Iverson's goal...
On the court, Iverson fell to the floor after hitting the fadeaway shot.
This "Answer," with a painful expression, didn't let out any screams.
And as the slow-motion replay, the fans at the scene noticed that...
When Iverson landed just now, because he was focused on retreating on defense, he didn't stand firmly, and his right foot was twisted very badly...
This was an injury that Iverson shouldn't have suffered this season in Su Feng's previous life.
Because if Su Feng remembered correctly, although Iverson had minor injuries in his early years, he wouldn't suffer a serious injury until the 03/04 season.
However, just like Su Feng's appearance changed the original face of history...
After Su Feng went to Toronto, the pressure on Iverson, who was carrying the team on his shoulders alone, was definitely far greater than in the same period in history.
Last season, Iverson's average score was different from what Su Feng remembered.
And this season, because the 76ers were caught in a series of tough battles at the beginning of the season...
Iverson's playing time has increased to a career-high average of 47 minutes per game.
To put it bluntly, from last season to this season, this "Answer" has been on the high-risk line for injuries.
Therefore, Iverson's injury was more of a necessity than an accident.
However, just like you can't judge the physical fitness of the Saints with the eyes of ordinary people...
You can't look at the physical fitness of this group of superheroes in the NBA with the eyes of normal people either.
On the court, after resting for a while, Iverson actually stood up again, gritting his teeth.
Although his petite figure could fall at any time, he, with sweat all over his forehead, actually shouted to the team doctor rushing towards him: "I can continue!"
At this moment, even the Raptors players were moved by Iverson.
It's just...
Judging from the slow-motion replay just now...
It would be a miracle if this "Answer" could continue.
Even if he wasn't a team doctor, Su Feng knew that Iverson's injury was definitely not light.
He was able to stand up at this time entirely because of his strong willpower.
Don't believe it?
Why don't you let him take two steps and see?
So, just as the 76ers players looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Su Feng took the initiative to walk to Iverson's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't force yourself. You have a future."
Originally, Iverson wanted to refute Su Feng, but the sharp pain from his right foot was like a warning at this moment...
"You can't continue, Allen!"
After a preliminary examination by the 76ers team doctors, they could determine that Iverson would not only miss this game, but he would also likely miss a long period of NBA games in the future.
At this moment, in the eyes of this group of team doctors, it was already a miracle that Iverson was able to stand up, gritting his teeth.
And at Zhongzhou Gymnasium, at the moment when Iverson was helped back to the locker room, hopping on one foot by the team doctors, almost all 76ers fans felt like "the sky had fallen" in their hearts.
Looking at Iverson's lonely back, Su Feng felt that fate was too cruel.
Because of his appearance, in this life, Iverson not only became an All-Star starter in advance, but also created the great achievement of the Black Eight Bulls with him in his rookie season.
However...
Last season, after his departure, Iverson's fate can be said to have taken a 180-degree turn overnight.
And now, he has suffered an injury that is very likely to change his career.
For point guards...
Especially for players like Iverson who need strong explosiveness to support his style of play, Su Feng knew very well that if it was serious, Iverson's injury could even affect his future games.
Zhongzhou Gymnasium, Iverson's accidental injury caused the balance of this game to tilt towards the Raptors in an instant.
And at the same time as the game was going on, inside the VIP box of Zhongzhou Gymnasium, after learning about Iverson's injury, the 76ers' leader, Krause, frowned.
Looking at Collins, the 76ers' new general manager, Krause smiled bitterly: "We may have to re-plan this season."
At that moment, looking at Krause's frustrated expression, Collins, knowing that something big was wrong, nodded and didn't answer.
And on the court, Brown, who had already gone crazy, became even more gloomy.
On the court, after the Raptors widened the gap between the two teams, Brown called timeouts in succession, repeatedly criticizing the 76ers players for their "impatient" defense.
And on the Raptors side, after noticing the completely crazy defensive standards of the 76ers, Su Feng calmed down in the first moment.
"Next, reduce the number of strong attacks inside. We'll shoot more."
Patting McGrady on the shoulder, Su Feng took over the command of this game from Davis without any courtesy.
As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over a wall.
Su Feng knew very well that after Iverson was injured and left the court, this 76ers team was no longer playing basketball.
Although he had an injury waiver, McGrady, Carter, and the others didn't.
Therefore, Su Feng didn't want to be dragged down by Larry Brown before he died.
Without Iverson, Su Feng knew that Brown was not far from his doomsday.
Because this 76ers team, which hoards a bunch of defensive tough guys...
Simply had no one who could fill the vacancy left by Iverson.
58 to 33.
At halftime, the Raptors were already leading the 76ers by as much as 25 points.
And before preparing to return to the locker room from the player tunnel, Su Feng also turned his gaze to the VIP box of Zhongzhou Gymnasium.
If...
The former me wasn't enough to make you make a decision...
What about now?
Although he was no longer a 76ers player, how could Su Feng say that he didn't have any feelings for this 76ers team?
Whether it was the chance encounter with Kobe in Philadelphia, or the experience of the Black Eight together back then...
From a personal point of view, Su Feng didn't want to see this 76ers team fall into a slump.
It is worth mentioning that...
At the moment when Su Feng looked up at the VIP box of Zhongzhou Gymnasium, Krause happened to be looking at him.
And although Krause couldn't see Su Feng's facial expressions at all because they were far apart...
Krause could still feel the anger from Su Feng.
"You know, Danny, the team that should have stood at the top last season was us."
Krause, with a desolate expression, turned to look at Collins and said.
"But...
I personally ruined everything, ruined everything..." After staring at the scoreboard on the big screen again, Krause repeatedly scolded himself.
"Pat..."
And just as Collins was about to persuade Krause, Krause slapped himself twice in the next second and cheered up again.
"Let's rebuild!" Krause said to Collins.
"This..."
Although Krause had just mentioned that he wanted to change the planning for this season, it had only been less than two weeks since the new season started, and they were going to rebuild?
Collins couldn't believe his ears.
"Allen definitely won't be back in a short time.
After he recovers from his injury, I don't want to see him tormenting himself because of the team's poor record.
To be honest, even if we can make it to the playoffs now, it will be difficult for us to achieve anything in the playoffs.
Raptors, Heat, Pacers, Celtics...
None of these Eastern Conference powerhouses can be defeated by us now.
So, let's rebuild!" Krause said decisively.
"But a coach like Larry, will he be willing to sacrifice..."
Listening to Krause's words, Collins originally wanted to say that Larry Brown would not accept the team tanking.
After all, with a coach of Brown's reputation and level, even without Iverson, he couldn't joke about his coaching career.
It's just that before he could finish speaking, Krause said to him: "I will communicate with Larry."
Hearing this, Collins nodded.
Although he wasn't optimistic that Krause would be able to convince Larry Brown, but...
"Since we are rebuilding, then we naturally need a new mentor."
Collins: "..."
After hearing that Krause was planning to fire Larry Brown, Collins was shocked!
Because no matter how much criticism Larry Brown had suffered in the past year or so, not to mention his past achievements, just his terrible liquidated damages...
However, looking at Krause's determined expression, Collins could confirm at this moment that the leader of the 76ers had made up his mind!
"Okay, Pat, I'll listen to you.
But since we are choosing to rebuild, then I have a good suggestion."
As a rookie general manager, although Collins didn't understand basketball as well as his predecessor, Berlin Berg, he also had a good habit...
That is, he is very willing to learn.
And when learning how to become an excellent general manager, Collins found that many great general managers often had unique vision.
Therefore, he has always attached great importance to the reports from the 76ers scouts.
And if the 76ers really decide to tank and rebuild now...
As the first team to decide to tank this season, Collins has a great rookie candidate he wants to share with Krause.
"Have you heard of Yao from Shanghai?"
Looking at Krause, Collins said with a smile.
…
Ah...
Achoo!
For some reason, young Yao Ming always felt that someone was talking about him behind his back recently.
But that's it...
That's not important!
What's important is that Brother Feng has won again.
And it's another 30+ point victory!
This day, after watching the live broadcast of the Raptors and 76ers game, young Yao Ming was so excited.
Okay...
Su Feng would never have imagined that Ming, who he thought was honest and honest, had actually learned bad things from him a long time ago.
Yao Ming wasn't telling Su Feng the truth.
In fact, regardless of whether the Shanghai team can win the CBA championship this season, Yao Ming has already prepared to go to the NBA.
In the opinion of young Yao Ming, if he can't help the Shanghai team win the championship this season, then he can just help the Shanghai team win when he comes back from the NBA in the future.
As early as when he went to the United States to watch the NBA Finals last season, young Yao Ming had such an idea in his heart.
Therefore, after returning from the Asian Championships, Yao Ming didn't return to Shanghai immediately.
Before returning to the Shanghai team, he specifically found the leaders of the Basketball Management Center, hoping that they could help him mediate.
As a result...
Yao Ming, who was holding the Shangfang sword that Su Feng had proposed to win a medal at the Olympics, successfully cleared the obstacles for himself.
After all, in the face of national interests, how could the Shanghai team choose to be the sinners of history?
However, even if the Shanghai team agreed to Yao Ming going to play in the NBA, the price Yao Ming had to pay for his dream this time was definitely not small.
However...
No matter what price he has to pay!
He can't wait any longer!
In short, following in Brother Feng's footsteps and taking a look at the best stage...
Is the current life goal of this Yao Ming.
…
United States, Philadelphia.
After leading the Raptors to defeat the 76ers 109-77, Su Feng didn't return to Toronto with the team immediately.
Because as Iverson's "cronie," Su Feng couldn't let go of this "Answer" who suffered a serious injury in the game against the Raptors.
After resting in the hotel for one night, Su Feng rushed to the hospital, preparing to have an MRI examination for Iverson, the next day in the first time.
Fortunately, although it looked very painful from the slow-motion replay at the time, Iverson's final examination result, who was physically different from ordinary people, was better than Su Feng expected.
After examination, the injury Iverson suffered this time was called a "Jones fracture."
In the NBA, many players have experienced "Jones fractures."
Because an unstable landing or a slippery breakthrough may cause such injuries.
And even the most professional equipment and the most diligent players cannot completely avoid such injuries.
According to Iverson's injury, he will be able to return to the battlefield in as little as 2 months and as late as 3 months this time.
However, although the "Jones fracture" looks unremarkable, Su Feng knew very well...
If a player chooses to return to the court without completely curing this seemingly ordinary injury, then it will bury a great hidden danger for the player's career.
In Su Feng's previous life, Durant and Yao Ming were examples of this.
After Yao Ming suffered a "Jones fracture" back then, because he still had to undertake national team game tasks in the summer, he chose to forcibly play with an injury because he lacked rest.
And this laid the groundwork for his continuous major injuries in the future.
Durant is the same.
In short, in Su Feng's opinion, the best way to treat a "Jones fracture" is neither surgery nor conservative treatment.
But time.
In competitive sports, many athletes have been pitted by their desire to win.
Su Feng knew that even he couldn't make a player like Iverson endure loneliness.
And Iverson's injury also proved that the nutrient solution he sent to Kobe and Iverson was not a panacea.
And just as Su Feng was thinking hard about how to persuade this "Ai" to rest for a while...
On the morning of the 15th, shortly after Iverson had just finished his MRI examination...
The 76ers officially announced the news of the team firing Brown.
In addition, Krause also found Iverson's agent, hoping that Iverson could take good care of his injury.
"If possible, I hope Allen can fully recover from his injury before returning to the court."
Of course, Iverson couldn't appreciate Krause's kindness.
What a joke, he still wants to compete with Su Feng for the scoring title this season!
How could he honestly follow the doctor's advice and rest until February before coming back?
The beginning of January, this is the return date Iverson set for himself!
However, this time, no matter how stubborn Iverson was, it was useless.
Because changing his usually indecisive personality, Krause, who knew Iverson's nature well, may have felt that Iverson's agent was unreliable. In the afternoon, he called Iverson alone again.
"What? I'll consider coming back after March?
Then are we not playing this season?" Iverson was stunned when he heard the advice Krause gave him.
"Actually, if possible, I hope you can rest until April, or even next season before coming back.
Allen, you need to rest now." Krause said to Iverson in a firm tone.
Rest...
Rest?
Rest your ass!
If he continues to rest, then this world will belong to Su Feng!
Iverson made up his mind that no matter how the team tried to stop him, he would return in early January.
Well...
The classic reverse psychology is here.
Looking at Iverson, who was angrily hanging up the phone with Krause, Su Feng knew that he had to take action.
Because if he were to play hometown basketball in the future, and Iverson was really crippled, then how would he play?
Bah!
How could Su Feng be so narrow-minded?
He was clearly just a "cronie" of Iverson's who didn't want to see Iverson courting death.
So, touching Iverson's cornrows, Su Feng smiled and said, "Allen, I also think you need to recover quickly and come back as soon as possible."
"Hmm?"
Originally in a bad mood, Iverson suddenly felt much better after hearing Su Feng's words.
Because in Iverson's opinion, even if the whole world doesn't understand him, Su Feng is on his side.
It's just...
"Because that way, there will be no one in the NBA who can compete with me for the scoring title."
Just when Iverson thought Su Feng was going to continue to encourage him, Su Feng changed his tone and successfully cooled down the temperature of the entire ward.
"What do you mean?" Iverson asked angrily.
"Of course, it's the literal meaning.
Allen, for me, it's a good thing for you to come back early.
Because that way, you will become a glass man like Anfernee.
Try to think about it, in the future, you can only lie in bed and watch me score. Wouldn't I have no competitors then?" Su Feng added.
"Anfernee? Can that guy compare to me?" Iverson felt offended listening to Su Feng's words.
"Don't get excited, Allen. I'm just stating the facts to you.
Maybe you think that this injury you suffered this time is nothing...
But just like I tried so hard to persuade you to rest in the regular season back then, but you didn't listen, which resulted in you only being able to lie in bed and watch me perform after we finished playing against the Bulls...
Believe me, there will be no good ending for stubborn people." Su Feng said to Iverson with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Iverson recalled the injury he suffered back then and immediately lowered his head and said, "Su... you really always remember my injury back then..."
For Iverson, it has always been a pain in his heart that he couldn't continue to fight in the Eastern Conference semifinals after the battle against the Bulls back then.
Therefore, Iverson didn't want to rest for so long this time no matter what.
Because he really didn't want to lie in bed again.
However, just when Iverson was about to be depressed, Su Feng said to him: "I'm not that vengeful.
And even if you could continue to play back then, it would have been useless. Because if my strength is this much...
Then in my opinion, your influence on the 76ers is probably only this much." After first using his thumb and forefinger to compare a very long distance, Su Feng then brought his thumb closer to his forefinger and said.
Iverson: "..."
Go to hell! Su thief!
From now on, you are just my friend who dribbles very anxiously!
At this moment, Iverson felt like his lungs were about to explode from Su Feng's anger.
Of course, he also knew that Su Feng was actually trying to enlighten him by joking.
"But, Su, I..."
Unwilling.
Very unwilling.
Iverson, who couldn't accept it, couldn't accept the suggestion to let him rest until March.
"There's nothing to be butting about. Rest well. You and I both have long careers ahead of us.
I say, you can't be so eager to come back just because you're afraid that you won't have a chance to beat me in the future, right?" Su Feng joked.
Hearing this, Iverson immediately raised his middle finger at Su Feng.
"Well, since you're so confident, how about I give you a season?" Su Feng smiled with narrowed eyes.
Iverson: "..."
Well...
If he continued to talk to Su Feng, Iverson felt that he would be pissed to death 100%.
However, Iverson probably didn't even notice it himself.
Under Su Feng's series of reverse psychology tactics, he was no longer so averse to resting for a while...
As for what his final choice would be?
In Su Feng's opinion, this can only be left to time to decide.
Because even he couldn't guarantee what kind of decision Iverson would make.
It's just...
After noticing the 76ers' series of operations, Su Feng had a feeling...
If Iverson can take good care of his injury, then the 76ers will probably have to be added to his "must target list" next season.
Because if this 76ers team can still select a potential rookie by tanking next year...
Then...
"Tsk, what are you thinking about? There are no great people in the 2000 draft.
Eh, that's not right...
Didn't Yao Ming tell me before that he was going to participate in the draft next year?
Hiss, it shouldn't be that coincidental, right?"
After taking a deep breath, Su Feng suddenly felt that the NBA next season might change from the Big Three to the New Four Emperors...
Of course, no matter how the future changes, seizing the present is the most important thing.
Therefore, after saying goodbye to Iverson, Su Feng immediately returned to Toronto to prepare for the team's focus game on the 17th...
According to the schedule, the Raptors will face on the 17th is:
—The Los Angeles Lakers.
…
After being fired by the Philadelphia 76ers, Larry Brown was extremely uncomfortable.
Although according to the agreement, he can get a large amount of liquidated damages from the 76ers, but in terms of his self-esteem as Larry Brown, he really can't accept being fired in advance...
However, what makes Brown even more uncomfortable than being fired is probably...
He originally thought that his firing would attract widespread attention, but he never expected that his firing news, apart from the local newspapers and TV stations in Philadelphia...
He didn't even make the headlines in other media!
Has the world changed, or am I, Larry Brown, not worthy of making the headlines?
There's no way...
Compared to the Lakers-Raptors game that is coming up on the 17th, for the fans, what's the news of him, Brown, being fired?
You know, the Lakers haven't lost so far this season!
Plus, the century-old famous meme that O'Neal has never won a single NBA game against Su Feng...
It would be strange if he, Larry Brown, could steal the headlines from the Raptors and the Lakers.
To be reasonable...
Su Feng found that he and the Raptors have now become the tool people for Stern's topic creation.
Because of the Raptors' schedule this season...
It's full of things to complain about.
As the saying goes, whatever dish the fans want to eat, Stern will serve you that dish.
This season, although the subtitle of the NBA is "Stars Shining."
But for many Su-Kobe CP fans, this title has long been changed in their hearts to:
"After Jordan, Two Stars Shine."
Back then, no one thought that little Lower Merion could simultaneously cultivate the genius twin stars of Su Feng and Kobe.
And now, when 8 faces 23 again...
