Chapter 567 Su Feng Above All Else, and O'Neal's Troubles

Chapter 1 Two days Ago

Two days ago, when Kobe scored 83 points in Los Angeles, ESPN described it as "possibly the greatest scoring feast in the history of human color television broadcasting."

Two days later, people finally reacted in a daze...

How cleverly did ESPN use the word "possibly" at the time?

Eight points in the first quarter, 33 in the second, 28 in the third, and 19 in the fourth.

When a series of numbers come together, behind those boring and tedious numbers...

—On November 19, 2004, Su Feng had already surpassed everything in the basketball world.

In this game against the Suns, Su Feng, who played for the Heat for 44 minutes and 27 seconds, took a total of 42 shots and made 28 of them.

Among them, he took a total of 18 three-point shots.

Apart from going 0-for-4 in the first quarter, he made all 14 of his three-point attempts from the second quarter onwards.

And, most frighteningly, on this night when he scored 88 points for the Heat...

Su Feng only got 19 free throws and made 18 of them.

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why Kobe's 81 points in a single game were so unbelievable was because Kobe only got 20 free throws in that game.

Perhaps, for many cloud fans who don't understand the composition of basketball scores, it's hard for them to understand what this means.

However, if you know that Little Fatty Ha in the future can get almost the same number of free throws as Kobe's 81-point night every night, then you should know...

Su Feng's 88 points, and Kobe's 83 points created two days ago...

Have refreshed the fans of this era's perception of scoring.

In the NBA, wanting to get high scores often means you need high shot attempts.

But what's even more terrifying than Kobe scoring 83 points in a single game is that Su Feng not only took fewer shots than him...

And such a number of shots, in everyone's opinion, is by no means Su Feng's limit.

Because as early as last season's five-overtime bloodbath against the Celtics, Su Feng had already proved that he has the ability to take 50 shots in any game.

After the game, in an interview, O'Neal said with emotion: "Come on, I don't have the ability to score so many points in a game.

Because even if I can take 40 or 50 shots like Su, I can only get 60 or 70 points at most."

On the sidelines, looking at the final score of 119 to 137, O'Neal used a simple math problem to show the world Su Feng's greatness.

That is, if you convert all of Su Feng's scores into two-pointers, you can only get 70+ at most.

Of course, the premise is...

Your two-pointers can still maintain a shooting percentage of over 66.6% with 40 or 50 shots.

"Video game? No... Even in a video game, I can't replicate Su's shooting percentage on this night."

After the game, McGrady, who scored a total of 48 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists for the Suns in this game, said in an interview.

"When defending Su, I used all my strength on every ball tonight.

This season, I know many people are saying that Shawn is qualified to compete for the DOPY and the All-Defensive Team.

But unfortunately, because of this game, I may miss these two awards."

In the visiting team's locker room, looking at the reporters surrounding him, Marion said with a helpless expression.

"This is definitely the most incredible night in NBA history.

I don't mean to offend Wilt Chamberlain.

But I know that the NBA at that time cannot be compared with today's in terms of competitiveness."

After the game, when asked by reporters how he evaluated Su Feng's 88 points in a single game, Hill bluntly stated his opinion.

As we all know, in the 50s and 60s, there were only a few teams in the NBA, and as the NBA's first-generation inside overlord, George Mikan was able to make other inside players look up to him with a height of only 208 centimeters.

Therefore, Hill's evaluation of Su Feng is not that he favors the present over the past...

But...

That's just the way it is.

Admittedly, in terms of Chamberlain's physical fitness, no matter which era you put him in, he can become a super center.

However, in this era when O'Neal has not retired and there are still Yao Ming, Duncan, and others inside, if you still boast that Chamberlain can get 100 points, then you are really not taking the physical evolution of human beings in recent years seriously.

In addition, some smart reporters also read between the lines of Hill's interview.

That is, anyone who has watched this game...

I'm afraid it's hard to understand how Su Feng made those difficult shots in the game.

And...

Did you know that from the second quarter onwards, every time Su Feng made a three-pointer, he would announce his goal to the world by turning around and celebrating in advance?

"Su, can you share your feelings with us at this moment?"

In the Heat's home locker room, before Su Feng could go to the bathroom to take a shower, a large group of reporters broke down the door of the Heat's home locker room.

"I'm glad we won this game with each other's tacit cooperation." Hearing this, Su Feng said with a smile.

Reporter: "..."

Tacit...

Tacit cooperation!?

Could it be that the tacit cooperation you are talking about refers to obediently creating space for you in the game and quietly watching your performance?

At this moment, looking at the calm Su Feng, the reporters always felt that if that was the case, then they could do it too!

"Su, do you have anything to say about getting 88 points in this game?"

In the locker room, a reporter from New York asked.

"I feel like I missed a lot of shots. This is where I can improve in the future," Su Feng replied seriously.

Reporter: "..."

"Then who do you think is greater, your 88 points or Kobe's 83 points?"

In the locker room, a reporter from Los Angeles provocatively asked.

Facts have proved that in this world, those who can ask such questions are not just future Sina editors, UC editors, and Penguin editors...

Because in addition to those reporters who really have journalistic ideals, most reporters in this world hope that the world will be more chaotic.

After all, if it's not chaotic, where will they get their稿费(gao fei, pay for contributions)?

"I think there are specialties in every field, so let the commentators evaluate who is greater!

However, in this game, I did score 5 more points than Kobe." Looking at the reporter from Los Angeles, Su Feng smiled.

Online, fans immediately launched a discussion about whether Su Feng's 88 points or Kobe's 83 points were greater.

As a result, judging from the current number of Su Feng fans and Kobe fans...

Every Kobe fan has to face the siege of 404 Su Feng fans on this night.

But do people care about these?

No!

They don't care!

They don't know!

They only care about themselves!

At the press conference, Su Feng became the absolute protagonist of this night.

And at the Suns' press conference, which ended earlier, D'Antoni used seven incredibles to describe everything he witnessed tonight in an interview.

"Since I started coaching in the league, I have personally experienced many great games.

But whether it was when I was coaching in Toronto, or when I witnessed Tracy McGrady scoring 13 points in 35 seconds in the game last season, I have never been so unable to calm down as I am now.

Because everything that happened tonight has completely subverted my understanding of basketball.

Indeed, basketball is a five-on-five team sport.

However, players like Su are hurting the sport of basketball.

Because when he gets into his rhythm, he has the ability to turn the game into his personal show."

In Su Feng's previous life, after Curry entered the peak of his career, Mark Jackson, who had coached in the Warriors, also made similar evaluations of Curry.

Because in Jackson's view, when Curry finds his shooting touch on the court, he makes all defenses and all your arrangements meaningless.

However, Su Feng and Riley did not buy into D'Antoni's evaluation.

Because in this game, it seemed that the Heat won by relying on Su Feng's 88 points.

But in fact, in the game, whether it was O'Neal's diligent pick-and-rolls or the Heat's other players' investment on both the offensive and defensive ends, they were all indispensable factors for Su Feng to score 88 points in this game.

And this is also the root cause why Su Feng believed that they won the game through team cooperation and cooperation in the previous interview.

In addition, in this NBA star league...

Let alone Su Feng.

Even if a player who is more awesome than Su Feng comes out in the future, he will not harm the sport of basketball.

Because the NBA is never afraid that the stars' performances are not strong enough.

As a place where miracles happen, it is only afraid that the stars' performances will become more and more health-conscious and more and more perfunctory.

At the press conference, Riley did not steal Su Feng's spotlight.

After using the best adjectives in his vocabulary on Su Feng, Riley silently handed the stage to Su Feng.

And after perfunctorily fooling the media...

Su Feng, who couldn't wait to fast-forward to the after-game phone call with his friends, made the reporters at the press conference feel an illusion.

That is...

Such a great night did not seem to be taken to heart by Su Feng.

88 points in a single game.

This record that all top NBA scorers can only dream of...

And nine three-pointers in a single quarter, 14 three-pointers in the whole game.

This record that all top NBA shooters only dare to YY (imagine) when they are training...

Su Feng seems to be able to keep breaking it in the future as long as he wants...

"I am a coach who likes to watch players score on the court.

I don't think 88 points is Su's limit. Maybe he can perform better in the next game."

And just when all the reporters at the press conference were brought into the infinite imagination of Su Feng's future by Su Feng's calm expression, Riley's last-minute cut-in also made the entire press conference boil!

Because...

Who can guarantee that Su Feng, who will only be 27 years old next year, will not have a more explosive performance in the future than tonight?

Just like Su Feng himself said.

If he can seize more opportunities in the game, if he can shoot more balls in the game...

Then 100 points in a single game...

Will it really become his bottleneck?

……

On the 20th, the news of Su Feng's 88-point miracle instantly swept the Internet in China and the United States.

As before when Kobe scored 83 points in a single game, most NBA stars and celebrities encountered reporters waiting hard when they went out that day.

Artest, who has become the boss of the Pacers this season, was fortunate enough to become a prophet in the eyes of the world.

Because when evaluating Kobe before, Artest had said that Kobe is the limit of human offense, and Su Feng is the limit of cosmic civilization offense.

And when Artest said this at the time, online, there was still a small group of Su Feng black fans who believed that Artest had a psychological shadow because he was beaten by Su Feng in his early years.

But what about now!?

"I still stick to my previous point of view.

Kobe is just the pinnacle of earthlings no matter how strong he is.

And Su...

He is definitely the pinnacle of Saiyans."

After showing the reporter a cartoon T-shirt with Sun Wukong transforming into a Super Saiyan that he had carefully prepared, Artest said.

And online, enthusiastic netizens also used Artest's comments to create a picture.

On this picture, the left half is Kobe-Kline-Bryant.

And the right half is Su-Kakarot-Feng.

As a result, judging from the current amount of hair of Su Feng and Kobe, don't say it, this picture is really not abrupt at all.

"Didn't I say it in 2002? Brother Feng can take you to get anything you want." In Philadelphia, when asked by the media how to evaluate his old brother, the young Yao said.

"He is the best scorer on this planet!

Please don't ask me such questions in the future, because even if you ask a hundred times, a thousand times, I will answer you like this!"

And Iverson, who is also in Philadelphia, felt like Zhang Fei in the old version of the Three Kingdoms that day...

He had obviously said "Me too" ten thousand times, but why do these reporters keep asking questions about Su Feng?

And in Toronto, Carter was completely unhappy this time.

Because this day, just as Carter walked into the team's training hall, Little O'Neal said to him: "Vince, Vince, Su scored high again!"

Hearing this, Carter blushed and argued: "What high... what high score! It's all because of his teammates protecting him... protecting him!"

And then, there were things like "the strongest dunker on the surface, I can do it if I want to, Su Feng is just being hyped, my skills are as good as Su Feng's," which everyone couldn't understand...

Making the entire Raptors' training hall full of laughter.

And Detroit...

As the shadow of the former Philadelphia Light...

On this day, Da Ben silently took off the headband that Su Feng gave him in the past before training started.

As the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world that doesn't end.

Recalling the happy times he spent with Su Feng rubbing his back, and then thinking that Su Feng's back-rubbing partner has now been replaced by O'Neal...

Uncontrollable tears streamed down from Da Ben's eyes.

Goodbye, the light and shadow of Philadelphia and Toronto in the past.

From now on...

He Da Ben is a small alarm clock in the Motor City in life, and he is also an inside fortress in Detroit in death!

It is worth mentioning that on the 20th, just as Su Feng woke up from Britney's arms, an interesting thing happened on this day.

That is, according to Bird's assistant, Bird accurately predicted Su Feng's performance on the court many times during the Heat's O'B game against the Suns.

Originally...

If this kind of thing came from someone else's mouth, it would probably be considered as being wise after the event.

But combining Bird's assistant's tone of learning from Bird at the time...

Because Bird's Cup King image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Su Feng's 88-point night was inexplicably added with a touch of legendary color.

New York, Stern, who immediately realized that there were still many stories to be mined from this game, immediately asked his assistant Mark to start digging deep into the various behind-the-scenes stories of this game.

After all, great games also need all kinds of legendary stories to last.

Look...

Take Bird's performance in the three-point contest that year as an example.

To this day, how many people still remember how many points Bird scored in the game at that time?

However, even cloud fans will definitely remember the sentence Bird said to his opponents with a cigar in his mouth before the game started.

—"Who wants to take second place?"

……

Online, the discussion about Su Feng's 88-point miracle is still going on.

And Miami, because he has not been able to get through to Kobe's phone, Su Feng took advantage of the fact that he happened to be resting today and opened the task list of the打铁(da tie, brick laying) system.

After completing the "Give the poor Shaq brother a chance to ask a question mark" task...

Now...

It's also time for Su Feng to understand what exactly this mission of destiny entanglement with Kobe is.

"Ding!

'The Su-Kobe Destiny Entanglement Mission has been opened'!"

As the familiar sound in his mind came, Su Feng found that unlike ordinary tasks, there was actually a red and blue progress bar below this "Su-Kobe Destiny Entanglement Mission" that looked like the one he used to play "Three Kingdoms Cao Cao Biography".

"Oh? Is this a task with different rewards?"

After reading the task instructions in detail, Su Feng noticed that the red progress bar and the blue progress bar represent two different task branches respectively.

That is, love and kill each other with Kobe until retirement.

And at a certain point in time, choose to fight alongside Kobe again and conquer the league.

In addition, these two tasks do not clearly give any rewards in this task introduction.

And after thinking about it a little, Su Feng reacted...

Because whether it is the red line or the blue line's task requirements...

He has to wait until Kobe retires to complete it.

And even if Su Feng can fight again...

When Kobe retires, won't he himself be almost on the verge of retirement?

Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, the task reward of this destiny entanglement task is likely to point to something that will happen after he and Kobe retire.

"Fate Entanglement Stone, Destiny Entanglement Mission..."

And when he thought of the rewards of Fate Entanglement Stone in the multiple tasks he had recently received...

Su Feng always felt that this system must still have many secrets that he did not know.

"It can't be that after Kobe and I retire in the future, your system can also pull Kobe and me into a dimensional space like the one written in novels, so that we can continue to play together, right?"

That day, looking at the task list of the打铁(da tie, brick laying) system, Su Feng couldn't help but complain.

In short, since it is a long-term task, Su Feng is not in a hurry to figure out its routine at this time.

After all, how to conquer the league with Shaq brother is the most important thing for Su Feng at present.

……

On the 21st, the Heat, who had already won 12 consecutive games at the start of the season, welcomed the challenge of the Nuggets at home.

Camby, who can average 10.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game for the Nuggets this season, was once considered by experts to be a strong contender for this season's Best Defensive Player.

But in this game against the Heat, Camby used his strength to prove to the world...

How deceptive data is.

In the first quarter, Camby, who had been leading the league in blocks this season, didn't even try to hold back O'Neal, and even when facing Butler, who was cutting to the basket, he had an expression that said "I can't do it".

Before becoming Poison Melon, you will never know how good Anthony was at this time.

Because just such a Nuggets team can be brought into the playoffs by him for many years...

No offense, the current me Melon is definitely a "sweet melon" that can make old Karl feel fortunate for his choice to coach the Nuggets.

American Airlines Center, under Camby's clumsy performance, the Heat players, who became more and more confident, played as they pleased in the Nuggets' interior.

And in the confrontation between the new and old generations of "sweet melons", Anthony also paid tribute to Su Feng, the predecessor who has multiple records on the NBA's single-game打铁(da tie, brick laying) record list, with a perfect performance of 5-for-23 shooting.

Su Feng, who scored 88 points in the game against the Suns last game, put back the pass key in this game.

In the whole game, he made 11 of 19 shots. In addition to scoring a total of 33 points including three-pointers and free throws, he also contributed 15 rebounds and 14 assists.

After proving his explosive scoring ability to the world...

As the saying goes, "scoring is just work, assisting is life".

You may not believe it when you say it.

Before, when reviewing Warriors games, Su Feng, who often complained that Stoudemire was like a rookie, now hates that Stoudemire's ability to eat餅(bing, cake) is too strong...

Because if this guy continues to eat like this, when will Nash's average of 12.4 assists per game since the new season fall?

You must know that if he can't get the assists leader before the age of 30...

Then even if the 【Evergreen】 badge is fragrant, Su Feng can only admire it in the tree diagram of "Legendary Moments".

On the 23rd, the Heat challenged the Bucks on the road.

The Bucks, who were determined to compete with the Spurs for Bogut, did not resist too much, and the Heat easily won on the road with a score of 119 to 96.

And on the 24th, the Heat, who were back-to-back challenging the Wizards, were almost upset by the Washington Gemini, Arenas and Jamison.

Teams with many veterans are prone to physical problems when playing back-to-back games.

If it weren't for the sake of trying to win the best start in the four major North American sports leagues, O'Neal, Mourning, Payton, and others would have chosen to rest in such games in Su Feng's plan.

Fortunately, Ginobili stood up in this game against the Wizards.

In the case of only playing 29 minutes for the Heat, Ginobili scored 31 points, plus 4 assists and 3 rebounds.

And with Ginobili helping to drag the game into the decisive moment...

Su Feng was able to save his strength and help the Heat win the 15th victory since the start of the new season with a 4-minute burst at the last moment.

And at the end of November, after successively eating three weak teams...

The Heat, who have won 18 consecutive victories, have seen the hope of breaking the record for the most consecutive wins at the start of the season in the four major North American sports leagues.

In 1884, the St. Louis 放逐者(fang zhu zhe, exile) team of the MLB created a record of 20 consecutive wins at the start of the four major North American sports leagues at that time.

It has been a full 120 years since then...

Whether the Heat, who started the 04/05 season with 18 consecutive wins, can win three more games to create a new record for the most consecutive wins at the start of the four major North American sports leagues has also become the focus of people's attention recently.

And in the Heat team, although Su Feng and Riley have expressed to the outside world in interviews that they don't care about this record...

But in the face of the new record within reach, even O'Neal, an old fritter who likes to go to nightclubs, has recently focused all his attention on training.

What are you kidding me!

In the NBA, setting a new record often means that your name will be recorded in history.

Therefore...

Don't care?

If they really don't care, then the Heat would have started their veteran rotation strategy long ago.

……

On December 1, before the Heat set off for Charlotte to challenge the Bobcats, the NBA officially announced the award winners for the best rookie and best player of the month in the first month of the new season.

Dwight Howard, who played for the Magic, and Chris Paul, who played for the Trail Blazers, became the best rookies of the month in the East and West respectively in November.

This season, as the number one hot candidate for the NBA's best rookie in the 04/05 season, in the first month of his career, my炮(pao, cannon, referring to Chris Paul) can contribute an average of 15.6 points plus 8.6 assists.

In contrast, the Rockets, who originally expected Livingston to lead航天城(hang tian cheng, space city, referring to Houston) to take off, were miserable...

Because originally, they had a chance to choose Paul.

But now...

Livingston, who is lying in the hospital bed, let alone whether he can recover smoothly.

Even if he can recover, he has already lost to my炮(pao, cannon, referring to Chris Paul) at the starting line.

And as previously expected by the outside world.

The two players who won the Best Player of the Month award in the first month of the new season are Su Feng and Kobe.

Because these two guys scored 83 points and 88 points respectively in November, even if the judges are stubborn, they can only honestly write Su Feng and Kobe's names on them.

This season, as of now, Kobe is still leading the scoring list with an average of 37.6 points per game.

And Su Feng is in second place on the list with an average of 31.5 points per game.

This season, after O'Neal joined the team, on the whole, Su Feng's number of shots has decreased slightly compared to last season.

Therefore, from the composition of the shots, Su Feng has not only increased the number of shots from the three-point line this season, but he has also reduced the number of mid-range shots accordingly.

On the one hand, such a shot composition can make Su Feng's scoring more efficient.

On the other hand, this can also further help O'Neal to roam recklessly on the court.

After the Heat's first month of games in the new season, many people noticed another terrible statistic of Su Feng.

That is, he can make 4.9 three-pointers per game for the Heat.

And if Su Feng's data can be maintained until the end of the season...

Then at that time, he will be the first player in NBA history to complete 400 three-pointers in a single season.

In the case that the trophy display room at home can no longer fit the scoring title trophies, Su Feng knows very well this season that competing with Kobe for the scoring title is not a wise choice.

Because if he wants to continue to improve his scoring, then O'Neal has to be his tool man every game.

And in the case of encountering brainless double-teaming by opponents, Su Feng will inevitably increase his number of mid-range shots as before.

But in that case...

Not only will O'Neal's dominance on the court be wasted in vain, but even the Heat's current chemical reaction will be greatly affected.

In Su Feng's previous life, many XX novels often typed out characters such as "50+" points per game for the protagonist without thinking...

But in Su Feng's view, that is not only insulting the reader's IQ, but also insulting the sport of basketball.

Because unlike Chamberlain's era, with the development of modern basketball, basketball is no longer a sport that can be won by a certain player mowing grass alone.

No matter how strong a player is, his on-court performance will be affected by time, opponents, and the number of offensive rounds.

To put it bluntly, for the current Su Feng, his scoring ability no longer needs to be proved by those boring and tedious numbers.

What he needs is one championship trophy after another.

And...

That assists leader trophy that has been monopolized by Nash for many years, which he must get this season.

Um...

Unfortunately.

Currently on the assists list, Su Feng also happens to be ranked second.

And this, in Su Feng's opinion...

It really has to let O'Neal and the others take the blame for it.

Because in terms of his current superb passing skills...

If it weren't for these guys吐饼(tu bing, blowing opportunities) all day long, then why would he have to feel a headache for it?

On the 2nd, in Charlotte, the Heat beat the Bobcats, who just joined the league this year, by a score of 137 to 105.

O'Neal, whose recognition value has been fluctuating around 7 million recently, scored 33 points and 15 rebounds in this game.

Although Okafor, the talented center that the Bobcats selected in the draft, tried his best to hold on in the game, his tonnage, which was not at the same level as O'Neal, soon made him feel what is the distance between heaven and earth.

And in this game, Su Feng, who was frantically feeding O'Neal餅(bing, cake), finally felt a trace of O'Neal's love for him.

Because the Bobcats can't crack the "kill crazy pick-and-roll", O'Neal's main scoring method in this game has also changed from low post singles to pick-and-roll顺下(shun xia, down cut).

And in this way, if O'Neal can still吐(tu, vomit)...

Then after returning to Miami, Su Feng will definitely invite this big-headed fish to go fishing together.

According to the schedule, on the 4th, the Heat will return to Miami to face the Magic.

It is worth mentioning that...

Before the start of this game, Su Feng always felt that O'Neal, who has been very well-behaved recently, seemed to have something on his mind.

Su Feng, who had cultivated a pair of golden eyes that can see through the minds of the second leaders as early as in Toronto, keenly noticed that O'Neal's "mouth speed" obviously slowed down when they were eating "cheat meal" together that day.

You must know that in the past, eating "cheat meal" was the happiest time for this big-headed fish.

But this day...

This big-headed fish actually said that he couldn't eat any more after eating only one of his favorite donuts!

And this...

Is very abnormal in Su Feng's opinion.

"Speak, Shaq, did you encounter any trouble again?"

……
