Touching his conscience and looking at Su Feng with the most sincere gaze, Da Ben swore to the heavens:

He was definitely not coveting Su Feng's historical-level rebounding ability, which was why he wanted to go with Su Feng.

And do you guys know, after Su Feng told Da Ben that he would be traded to the Raptors, Da Ben didn't even think about it.

He continued to "lock" Su Feng firmly...

Anyway, in Da Ben's words:

If Su Feng didn't agree to take him along today, then he, Da Ben, would "lock" Su Feng to death here!

No one could stop Su Feng from taking him to Toronto!

Cough...

No, seriously, in the '90s, generally speaking, there weren't many normal people willing to go to Toronto.

Su Feng knew that the Raptors' roster had potential, but could Da Ben also have been body-snatched?

You know, when Curry's father signed with the Raptors, to avoid being scolded by fans, Old Curry told reporters very frankly that he went to Toronto to earn "easy money" to support his two sons' education.

Therefore...

With Ben Wallace's EQ and IQ, how could he see so far ahead?

However...

No matter how high his EQ and IQ were, how could Su Feng remember what he had done for Da Ben back then?

In the summer of 1996, just as the Golden Generation strode into the league with their heads held high, Ben Wallace was just a pitiful bug who was sending out resumes everywhere, but no one cared about him.

Da Ben would not forget that it was Su Feng's recommendation that allowed him to get a chance to play in the Summer League.

And what he would not forget was what Su Feng had said to him when he trained with Su Feng for the first time.

At that time, Su Feng, who was only 18 years old, after shooting a three-pointer with his eyes covered, turned around and said to Da Ben, "Become an All-Star player?

Isn't that a matter of course?"

And then, Su Feng paused and continued, "What I want to beat is Michael Jordan."

Honestly...

No matter how silly Da Ben was, at the time, Da Ben also thought Su Feng was showing off.

However...

A year later, in Zhongzhou Arena, when the 76ers really shot down the Bulls...

Da Ben, recalling what happened a year ago, was completely conquered by Su Feng.

Da Ben, who grew up on the streets, knew very well that if he regarded the NBA as an expanded version of the streets, then Su Feng had taken down the boss of this street last year!

So, when Su Feng told him that he would be traded to the Toronto Raptors, Da Ben didn't hesitate at all.

In Da Ben's view, who wasn't that smart, following Su Feng was enough!

As for his future?

Tsk...

Da Ben might not know or understand anything else, but as for Su Feng, when had he ever let him go hungry?

And what about investing together? What about you getting three points and me getting the rebounds?

Cough...

Seriously, when John Davis persuaded the Raptors' management to trade for Su Feng at all costs, he really didn't think that buying Su Feng would come with a free gift?

Of course, because the NBA would be locked out this summer, these were all things for later...

…

On May 20th, the day after Su Feng was spoiled by Krause, before this year's Eastern and Western Conference Finals began, the NBA officially announced the major awards for the 97/98 regular season.

As Su Feng had guessed before...

In order to reshape Jordan's godhood, Stern "fairly, openly, and justly" allowed Jordan to win three consecutive regular season MVPs.

Compared to the awards, Su Feng was most concerned about who would win this year's championship.

Although this year's Eastern and Western Conference Finals matchups were exactly the same as in Su Feng's previous life, history had already deviated invisibly.

Kobe, who was the first to touch the Western Conference Finals floor, had been extremely "arrogant" these days.

This young Mamba snake's mentality was as inflated as his hair.

The Western Conference Finals between the Jazz and the Lakers went to the sixth game before a winner was decided.

O'Neal was not swept like in Su Feng's previous life.

Because Kobe, who was determined to prove himself to Su Feng, played extremely reasonably in this Western Conference Finals.

It was a pity that the old ginger was still spicier. Harris's tactical freedom was free, but in the end, he could not liberate O'Neal.

In this way, the Jazz entered the Finals for the second consecutive year with a score of 4 to 2.

On the other side, in the Eastern Conference Finals, because the Pacers were consumed too much by the 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they failed to stage the wonderful show of forcing the Bulls to a Game 7 like in Su Feng's previous life.

In the end, the Bulls easily eliminated the Pacers with a score of 4 to 1.

In this life, Miller was destined not to become Jordan's "arch-enemy". After all, with a score of 4 to 1, no matter how much trash talk he said to Jordan, in Jordan's eyes, he was far less annoying than Su Feng.

Jordan, who had been honing his skills all summer, was now almost angered to death by public opinion.

Because the most discussed topic in the world was:

If the Bulls' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the 76ers instead of the Pacers, could the Bulls still win so easily?

Don't look at the Bulls fans joking that the 76ers would play a revival match on the 32nd of this month, but because of the "You were beaten by Su Tie" meme, unless Jordan could personally kill Su Feng in the future, otherwise...

He was destined to not escape the fate of being made fun of.

And Su Feng, who could gain prestige by lying at home, felt that the Bulls had more than a 99% chance of winning the championship after watching this year's Eastern and Western Conference Finals.

After all, in this life, the Jazz were dragged by the Lakers for two more games, while the Bulls easily defeated the Pacers, who were worn out by the 76ers.

…

Su Feng watched this year's Finals with Kobe.

After regrettably stopping in the Western Conference Finals, Kobe ran to Philadelphia as soon as possible to freeload, using food to resolve the depression after losing the game.

As Su Feng had predicted, the Bulls successfully won the 97/98 season championship.

In the first game of the Finals, in the United Center, Pippen finally said the classic "The mailman doesn't work on weekends" to Malone.

This season, Pippen, who was working hard for a big contract, was extremely reliable in Jordan's eyes.

Not only could he output, but as long as he fooled him a few words, he could also serve as a scapegoat...

Tsk tsk...

In this Finals, no one could understand how deeply Jordan loved Pippen.

Malone, who was cursed by Pippen, wanted to get a refund after missing four consecutive free throws.

Because he had trained with a psychological counselor last summer...

He was even more deeply poisoned.

In Game 2, Malone, who was completely lost, instead helped Rodman regain his confidence.

The "Big Worm" grabbed 17 rebounds in the game. In an interview after the game, Rodman bluntly said that this season, he chose to sign with the Bulls at a "low price" to prove himself.

Alright...

This "Big Worm" was probably mistaken about one thing.

Because even if he proved himself, in Su Feng's opinion, no team would be willing to give him a big contract next season...

In Su Feng's previous life, Rodman's state in the 97/98 season playoffs was significantly better than in the 96/97 season, but even so, after his contract with the Bulls expired, no one wanted Rodman.

In fact, Bulls general manager Krause was still conservative, because if Krause was willing to wait a few more days last year, then even if he lowered the price by another million, unless Rodman chose to retire, he would have to sign.

You know, a player's personality is also one of the key factors for NBA teams when signing a player.

In the future, McGee complained about *Shaqtin' a Fool* because after watching *Shaqtin' a Fool*, many teams' management teams impressionistically believed that McGee was a "retard" and were unwilling to give him a big contract.

In this era, there were really not many teams that dared to take in a troublemaker like Rodman.

In this way, the Bulls smoothly went to Salt Lake City with a 2-0 lead.

Then, in Game 3, Jordan broke out under the condition of "food poisoning"...

There would be many theories about Jordan's "food poisoning" in the future.

The most common theory was that in the Finals, after arriving in Salt Lake City, Jordan, who was greedy, ordered a pizza. As a result, because there were as many as five delivery guys who were responsible for delivering the pizza, his teammates felt that there was something wrong with it and persuaded Jordan not to eat this pizza.

But Jordan, who was starving at the time, didn't care so much.

As a result, Jordan, who ate a bite of pizza, failed to gain a dragon-slaying buff like his successor, but instead gained a buff with a strong smell...

However, even if he couldn't escape "food poisoning" in this life, even if he farted while playing on the court, Jordan was still Jordan.

Jordan, who scored 30+ in this game, completely moved countless Bulls fans in front of the TV.

Because the 35-year-old him had once again proven himself.

In the next fourth game between the two sides, the Jazz successfully pulled back a game, and in the fifth game, the classic moment came...

At that time, in the United Center, the Bulls, who were forced to the last moment by the Jazz, did not call a timeout.

Unlike Su Feng's previous life, this time, Jordan launched the attack from the right side.

Before the end of the game, Jordan, who "shook" Russell down, left a world-famous painting.

Although this ball, like Su Feng's previous life, was suspected of pushing, in this era with HC rules, in fact, when both sides' hands had movements, the referee would not blow the whistle.

In the end, relying on Jordan's buzzer beater, 4-1, the Bulls successfully won the championship.

Looking at this life, Jordan, when he first came back, was first sent a sentence by Nick Anderson, "Jordan with No. 45 is not as good as Jordan with No. 23."

Then, in the second year, he led the Bulls to overlook the entire league with a record of 72 wins and 10 losses.

However, just when people thought that the Bulls would once again open up a dynasty, in the 96/97 season, the Bulls led by Jordan were actually blacked out by the 76ers...

As a result, Jordan, whose godhood was once in jeopardy, barely managed to defend his throne with the efforts of Nike and Stern.

And now, Jordan, who had won his fifth title of his career, wanted to cry...

You say he, Jordan, is easy?

And in front of the TV, Su Feng, who was watching this game at the time, was happy.

Because...

Jordan's championship was so great.

Coupled with his 35 years old and the various bizarre stories in this Finals, honestly, Jordan's godhood was definitely re-condensed on this day.

In this way, the story of Su Feng taking away a championship from him in the 96/97 season would be even more legendary.

However, Su Feng seemed to have forgotten one thing...

On the day the Bulls won the championship, Zhang Weiping excitedly said on the Celestial Dynasty TV:

"Let us congratulate Hu Weidong, he has become the first Chinese player to win an NBA championship!"

Su Feng: "..."

Of course, Su Feng could not hear Zhang's commentary, but unfortunately, how could Smith, as an excellent commentator, miss any record?

Looking at Hu Weidong, who was on TV and didn't know how to celebrate with his teammates, Su Feng wasn't jealous of Old Hu...

But...

How could you say that Su Feng wasn't envious?

Wake up, this is the championship!

I have to say... fate is a magical thing. Hu Weidong, who was traumatized by the Bayi team in China, actually experienced the feeling of winning a championship in his debut NBA season.

"Is this the championship?"

Hu Weidong, who put on his glasses again after the game, thought with emotion as he looked at the championship trophy.
