Chapter 337 Epic Difficulty, Night of Heartbreak

Um!?

If we can't win 60 games, then Smith has to interview naked on Fifth Avenue?

Hiss——!

That day, after finishing training with his teammates and returning home to watch TNT's post-game analysis show, Su Feng suddenly felt...

It seemed pretty good to mess with Smith...

Of course, Su Feng would only think about such ideas in his own mind.

After all, as someone with a desire to win...

In fact, for the NBA with its long season, two games are nothing.

If Su Feng were to deny his teammates at this moment, then the Raptors might kneel before their opponents even had a chance to defeat them.

It's just...

Facts have proved...

The Carter-Tracy "trash brothers" really don't need mercy.

Only death stares and whips can drive them forward.

In the game against the Hornets, Carter and McGrady's performance in the first half could only be described as DeRozan and Lowry in the playoffs.

And although the Hornets, who had already started rebuilding, were no match for the Raptors in terms of strength...

During halftime, Su Feng still stared at Carter and McGrady with his piercing eyes for a full five minutes.

In Su Feng's view, everyone has times when they're not in good form.

But...

Carter and Tracy aren't just in bad form anymore.

After winning the championship last season, these two have become a little cocky.

When playing against the Celtics, Carter and Tracy could still stay focused.

But when facing slightly weaker teams, they've started to look down on their opponents.

There's no other way.

Young players like Carter and McGrady definitely can't compare with veterans like Su Feng in terms of mental management.

Therefore, whether it was their indulgence in the summer or their lack of attention after playing against the Celtics, these are the hurdles that Carter and Tracy must overcome after the Raptors won the championship.

Fortunately, there's an excellent "political commissar" like Su Feng...

Even prodigies like Carter and McGrady wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

As a result, the Hornets cried in the second half.

Because they were already behind the Raptors by double digits in the first half...

Hey!

That's too much!

If you keep playing like this, we'll really become enemies!

In the end, 88 to 119, the Raptors defeated the Hornets at home by a score of 31 points, ending their recent two-game losing streak, and finishing the first week of the new season with a 2-2 record.

In the entire game, Su Feng made 10 of 21 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring a game-high 31 points, plus 9 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, and 3 assists.

Nash, coming off the bench as the sixth man, had 15 points and 11 assists.

O'Neal also contributed 12 points and 8 rebounds.

Carter and McGrady scored 17 and 16 points respectively.

According to the schedule, the Raptors will have 3 days of rest next.

And just as those fifty-year Dragon fans were expecting the team to take advantage of this big win and take off directly to slap the black fans in the face...

Los Angeles.

No one knew why, but O'Neal and Bryant felt their recent games were extremely boring.

Slaying the Jazz, capturing the Grizzlies, defeating the Trail Blazers, and playing with Dallas twice...

In the team's first five games of the new season, the "OK" combination averaged 58.4 points, 23.4 rebounds, 11.8 assists, 4.0 blocks, and 2.8 steals.

ESPN even directly called "OK" the most dominant duo since Jordan and Pippen on their show.

Compared with last season, when they were always one breath away from winning at critical moments, O'Neal, who had accumulated countless anger over the past summer, was now a freak among freaks.

And affected by O'Neal's unstoppable performance, Bryant, like Hardaway back then, often had easy one-on-one opportunities in games.

As a result, Bryant, who had strengthened his "strength" over the summer, was having a great time playing.

And benefiting from Bryant's rationality, other Lakers players also ushered in the best opportunity to prove that they were NBA teammates.

In addition, Jackson also increased the playing time of the talented high school student Lewis in the new season.

This move also made Glen Rice, who originally thought his starting position was stable, act like he had been injected with chicken blood in recent training and games.

During the Raptors' 3-day rest, Su Feng specially found the Lakers' game videos from the new season.

Then Su Feng discovered that the current Lakers were very similar to last season's Raptors.

As everyone knows, in the NBA, when your team is constantly winning, no matter how stiff your team's relationship is, your team's overall atmosphere will not be bad.

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why "OK" was able to love and kill each other and still win the championship was because the championships and victories the Lakers had won allowed the two to put aside all their grievances.

And in this life, because of his relationship...

Su Feng knew very well that even if "OK" was provoked, it would be difficult to break them up.

So, if nothing unexpected happened, Su Feng felt that this Lakers team might even break their historical record of 67 wins in the same period.

It has to be said that Su Feng felt that the Raptors' difficulty in defending their title this season was simply epic.

The Raptors' lineup looked very crazy...

But in this era of shining stars...

Which team doesn't have a few future warriors?

On the 11th, in the Motor City, facing the Pistons with Hill, Hughes, Stackhouse, and Joe Smith...

What happened to the East being weak and the West being strong after Jordan retired?

Logically speaking, although theoretically, there is no saying that anyone's wins in the NBA are more valuable...

But look at the shameless lineup of the Pistons!

You must know that before his major injury, Hill was still that chasing boy.

As Su Feng's idol, Hill performed many immortal operations in the face of Su Feng in this game.

If Su Feng's breakthrough is like a gust of wind, then Hill's breakthrough can be simply understood as:

He used a blink dagger.

In addition, as Su Feng's former comrades-in-arms, Stackhouse and Joe Smith proved that they were by no means ordinary people through their actions.

In this game, the Pistons players had an extremely firm attitude and determination.

That is, the team battle can be lost, but Su Feng must die!

Alright...

Su Feng understood.

Where do Stackhouse and Joe Smith still remember their past of receiving his passes?

I'm afraid in the eyes of these two, he's just an MVP who plays pretty well...

In this game, facing the Pistons' layers of strong men, Su Feng couldn't remember how much happiness he had gained in this game.

The two sides fought fiercely until the fourth quarter before the winner was decided.

And at the end of the fourth quarter, when Su Feng continuously scored through fadeaway jumpers...

On TNT, Smith was so excited at the time.

Feeling the love of Emperor Feng, Smith directly started blowing without any formalities: "This is Su! You can always choose to believe in him!"

However, although Su Feng's continuous strong attacks stabilized the situation for the Raptors...

But in fact, the key to the Raptors' victory in this game was the unassuming old Curry.

Because Carter fouled out with six fouls, old Curry, who came off the bench in the last 2 minutes, proved on this night that Curry's dad is Curry's dad.

Of course, Smith's statement about praising Su Feng was indeed not wrong.

After all, if Su Feng hadn't been responsible for building the stage, how could the Raptors have waited for old Curry to fire his cannons?

In this way, after old Curry accurately hit three consecutive long-range missiles, the Raptors successfully passed through the Motor City.

After the game, Su Feng also gave old Curry extremely high praise.

Su Feng knew that it would take some time for this Raptors team to fully take off, so after the game, in addition to praising Curry, he didn't put too much pressure on Carter, Tracy and others.

That's a lie.

"Vince, with your performance, how can you even say that you are stronger than Paul (Pierce)?"

"Oh, this is our new starting Tracy McGrady?

Making 2 of 12 shots, this shooting percentage can only be described as a superstar..."

Carter, McGrady: "..."

So angry.

So very angry.

Do you know, Carter and McGrady weren't really angry at Su Feng for subtly mocking them.

What made them angry was that whenever they were subtly mocked and lectured by Su Feng, they would always receive a call from Los Angeles recently.

"Ha! Vince, I scored 28 points again tonight!"

"Hehe, Tracy, did you watch the game?

Huh? My performance was just average, not too good, just a double-double of 25 points and 10 assists..."

To be fair, if the Raptors can win the championship this season, then Su Feng's championship ring must be split in half with Bryant.

Because under the continuous stimulation of the Lower Merion twins, these two days, during training...

Grover felt like Carter and McGrady were on fire.



After the hard fight with the Pistons, the Raptors' next opponent will be the 76ers.

This season, in the offseason, in order to save his precarious position, Brown used his last remaining prestige to get the team's management to use Camby to trade for Oakley and Kurt Thomas from the Knicks through a sign-and-trade.

Then...

Su Feng felt that the 76ers' newly appointed general manager, Danny Collins, would probably have to bear a black pot in the near future.

Because, although this Thomas and veteran Oakley are indeed players in Brown's system, and Camby is indeed trash...

But using a No. 2 pick from '96...

Just to trade back for these two?

Seriously, Camby still has some value at this time.

In addition, from the lineup point of view, what the 76ers lack in Su Feng's eyes is not players at all.

After all, a lineup composed of Ratliff, Willis, Christie, Iverson, Snow, etc...

If you supplement this lineup with Oakley and Thomas, wouldn't that be shooting yourself in the foot?

In Su Feng's eyes, as long as they can supplement two bench scoring points, this 76ers team can easily be a top team in the East with some casual play.

The reason why the 76ers have been frequently hindered in the early stages of the new season is because once Iverson can't continue to score, then the bunch of black and hard players around him can only stand and watch.

So far, on the new season's scoring list, Iverson leads the league with 34.4 points per game.

If you only look at the score, this Iverson's average score has directly chased the peak season of the "Old Rogue" back then.

But...

Take another look at Iverson's average number of shots and average number of missed shots...

Whether it's the average of 28.8 shots per game, or the average of 17 missed shots...

The AI that had a true shooting percentage of over 60% in the playoffs against the Bulls two years ago can no longer be seen.

There's no other way...

Because his defensive philosophy has been questioned again and again, for a stubborn freak like Brown, he naturally cannot choose to make changes.

Therefore, defense...

The ultimate defense!

Even if we don't score, don't even think about scoring ultimate tormentor defense!

This is the reason why Larry Brown asked the team's management to trade Camby for Oakley and Thomas.

After the Raptors won the championship last year, Brown, who hasn't been doing well recently, has embarked on a path of "being possessed by the devil."

On the 14th, Philadelphia.

When Su Feng and his Raptors walked into the CoreStates Center...

For the Philadelphia fans who are extremely persistent, perhaps the only thing they can find a little comfort in is that the Raptors have only won one more game than them in the early stages of this season.

However...

As this game kicked off, soon, Philadelphia fans discovered...

This will be a night that completely breaks their hearts.
