You say...

Why is it that everyone is going up against their old team, but the difference between people is so great?

On the Heat's bench, watching the 76ers fans in the arena booing Su Feng with tears in their eyes...

O'Neal fell silent.

On the court, as Su Feng jumped down from the scorer's table, the three referees on duty tonight all wore helpless, bitter smiles.

In theory, Su Feng's deliberate provocation and "insult" of the home fans...

Should have earned him a technical foul.

Even if the referees ejected him from the game, it wouldn't have been an overreaction.

However, at this moment, the three referees, with their high emotional intelligence, knew...

They'd better pretend nothing happened.

Otherwise...

In the future, they would be the criminals who ruined this scene.

On the court, the game continued, 76ers' possession.

After dancing gracefully on the perimeter...

"AI," this butterfly, instantly cut through the Heat's jungle of muscles.

With just a flick of the basketball in his fingertips, Allen Iverson in his prime could do anything he wanted.

And often, the player responsible for guarding him could only watch his back in despair, shouting in his heart:

"I can't do anything!"

Bang, swoosh!

At the Zhongzhou Arena, as Iverson's layup banked in, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers of "MVP, MVP."

This summer, riding the wave of the championship, after successively acquiring shares from minority shareholders, Pat Croce had successfully grasped absolute control of the 76ers.

And as the number one Iverson fan in this league...

Based on Croce's emphasis on personal relationships...

Su Feng believed that for a long time to come, Iverson would be the number one hero in the hearts of Philadelphia fans.

"From now on, you are responsible for guarding Philadelphia, and I am responsible for guarding you."

But what was saddening was...

Eight years after Iverson made that promise to Su Feng that Su Feng would never forget...

Su Feng not only failed to protect Philadelphia all along.

Iverson also didn't protect Su Feng as he had promised back then.

It's just...

You be your one-man-city hero.

I'll be my rabbit nation's hero rabbit...

In Su Feng's view, this kind of script might be more suitable for people like him and Iverson than the original one.

On the court, if the first quarter was a PK between the "Killing Combo" and the "Oh-Yo Combo"...

A contest between the 76ers and the Heat's role players...

Then the second quarter...

The entire galaxy...

Only Su Feng and Iverson were shining brightly.

In terms of scoring duels, in this league, apart from that "old rogue" back in the day, Su Feng had never been afraid of anyone.

And coincidentally...

As the current top four shooting guards, Iverson had never been afraid of anyone in the field of scoring either.

Tonight...

Will it be the Chinese phenomenon soaring into the sky?

Or will the American Answer be able to keep responding?

At the Zhongzhou Arena, after Su Feng and Iverson each turned on their full-power scoring mode...

Haslem and Butler quickly became the first players on both teams to reach a consensus on this night.

If these two iron men, Su Feng and Iverson, kept playing like this...

They feared that before the game was over, Haslem's ribs and Butler's ankles would break first.

Since the two teams' scores had been alternating lead changes in the second quarter...

Plus, both Riley and Carlisle had absolute trust in Su Feng and Iverson, so it wasn't until halfway through this quarter, during the official timeout, that the fans at the arena and in front of their TVs realized...

Holy sh*t!

How could such a good game suddenly disappear?

"Don't worry! Su, leave the next half of the quarter to me!"

On the Heat's bench, watching Su Feng walk back to the bench expressionlessly, O'Neal patted his chest and said.

"Good job, Allen! Leave the next half of the quarter to me!"

On the 76ers' bench, watching Iverson, who was looking down and adjusting his headband, Yao Ming said while touching his cornrows.

As the saying goes, wherever there is jianghu (martial world), there will be stories, and wherever there are stories, there will be jianghu.

It's just...

Even Stern, who was good at creating stories, would never have imagined that the story between Su Feng and Iverson would be so wonderful.

Moreover...

In addition to the story between Su Feng and Iverson...

Tonight's "Yao-Shaq showdown" between O'Neal and Yao Ming...

Was also a story that would be passed down as a legend in the future.

On the court, after the timeout, both the Heat and the 76ers brought back their starting lineups.

And at this time...

If the scoring duel between Su Feng and Iverson before was like two Daluo Jinxian (high-level immortals) fighting each other...

Then this round of competition between O'Neal and Yao Ming...

Was a PK between two center textbooks.

Unparalleled power was perhaps the most profound impression O'Neal had left on people.

And it was also the most famous label on him.

However, as a low-post killer who was proficient in various three-second area skills, power was definitely not all that O'Neal had.

Whether it was the capture of fighter jets during the turn...

Or the sudden exertion of force during the post-up...

As well as that little hook shot that did whatever it wanted in front of you...

As the youngest player to be selected into the NBA's top 50, this fathead fish itself was a low-post singles textbook.

And Yao Ming was the same.

Perhaps height was the most profound impression Yao Ming had on most people who didn't understand his game.

And even until the future, there were still many people who thought that Yao Ming relied on his height to enter the NBA.

However, as a super center with comprehensive skills and an unsolvable turnaround jumper, height was just a "platform" for Yao Ming to display his offensive talent.

Whether it was that maddening absolute height when shooting a half-turn tiptoe shot...

Or that solid and flexible skill...

Or that historical level of shooting touch among NBA big men...

As the "Moving Great Wall" that stood tall in the NBA in Su Feng's memory, Yao Ming himself was a center textbook.

Therefore, don't blame Howard for not being able to learn O'Neal's unique skills, nor Yao Ming's unique skills.

Because...

Just like Su Feng's offensive encyclopedia...

Even if you put Su Feng's homework in front of you for you to copy, you may not be able to copy it clearly.

On TNT, watching O'Neal and Yao Ming, who had taken over the guns from "Ai-Feng," educate each other on the court, Barkley said with emotion: "I can hardly remember the last time I saw such a wonderful low-post duel in the NBA!"

And aside, as Olajuwon's teammate back then, Smith said: "Although in recent years, many people have been saying that the era belonging to centers has passed...

However, Shaq and Yao have proven tonight that these big guys still have the ability to dominate NBA games!"

"Your little brother, his shooting...

Seriously, I'm angry!"

On the court, after glancing at Yao Ming, who was doing whatever he wanted in front of him with that turnaround jumper, O'Neal turned to look at Su Feng and said.

And hearing this, Su Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Because in this league, Su Feng could count on one hand the number of inside players who could blow O'Neal's mind.

"To be honest, Shaq...

Actually, Yao is also a little anxious because of you." Patting O'Neal on the back, Su Feng said.

Just take Yao Ming's low-post play just now...

Su Feng noticed that when Yao Ming turned around, because O'Neal was sticking to him tightly, he was obviously not as calm as he was when facing a certain little alarm clock when he shot.

Moreover, after scoring this goal, Yao Ming's brows were always furrowed.

Therefore...

As long as the 76ers can't widen the gap tonight, Su Feng believed that the Heat would have the last laugh.

At the Zhongzhou Arena, at the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 60 to 60.

In the first half, Su Feng and O'Neal scored 22 points and 16 points respectively.

And Iverson and Yao Ming scored 21 points and 16 points respectively.

During the halftime break, while touching Ginobili's head in the narrow locker room, Su Feng said to Butler: "Caron...

If in the second half, the 76ers choose to shrink their defense and double-team me, and you happen to be matched up with Allen...

Then you must be resolute in attacking!"

As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Su Feng knew very well that although plucking Ginobili bald could make him stronger...

What if this妖刀(yao dao, demon blade) just didn't want to be unsheathed tonight?

You can't let Su Feng break this妖刀(yao dao, demon blade) in half, right?

As early as the Heat's preseason training camp, Su Feng had discovered that in addition to defense, Butler had also made considerable progress on the offensive end this summer.

Therefore, as long as he can form a mismatch with Iverson on the court, then scoring...

Isn't it a sure thing?

In a matchup with the 76ers, who were evenly matched, Su Feng knew that no matter how full his personal performance was, it would be limited by the game time and physical distribution.

So...

As a mature leader...

How to mobilize his group of helpers and let them help him get through the period he needed, in Su Feng's view, was the key to the Heat's victory tonight.

On the court, after the halftime break, the Heat switched back to their starting five that they had at the beginning of the game.

Seeing this, Carlisle naturally set up the Zhuxian (Immortal Slaughtering) formation again, trying to consume Su Feng with it.

However...

Just like the same trick can't be used on a Saint Seiya twice.

On the court, noticing that the 76ers chose to leave Ariza and Payton open, and exposed Iverson to Butler in an instant, Su Feng passed the ball to Butler's hand as soon as possible.

Bang, swoosh!

On the wing, after dodging Iverson's misplaced steal, Butler hit a mid-range jumper off the backboard!

62 to 60!

Turning around, it was the 76ers' turn to attack.

Ariza, who hadn't played much tonight, quickly transformed into a help-defense maniac on the Heat's side.

And with Ariza helping with the defense, Su Feng's pressure on the defensive end immediately dropped.

At this time, on the 76ers' bench, Carlisle instantly felt unprecedented pressure.

Because...

He finally understood why Riley would choose to use this second method in the second half to crack the Zhuxian (Immortal Slaughtering) formation he had carefully designed for Su Feng!

"I see... I see!"

On the sidelines, looking at the Heat's bench, compared to last season's Eastern Conference Finals, this season, with more cards to play in Riley's hands, Carlisle finally understood...

Why Riley was called the "Godfather."

It's just...

Similar to John Davis, who was always mistaken for being very good at improvising on the spot...

I don't know why...

At this moment, Riley, who was constantly sneezing, always felt that someone was talking about him behind his back.

Actually...

Carlisle didn't know that the Heat's method of breaking the formation in the second half tonight...

Was proposed by Su Feng.

After observing the 76ers' defense in the first half of the game tonight, Su Feng keenly noticed the loophole that Iverson would always be exposed to the Heat's frontcourt players when the 76ers chose to double-team him recklessly.

In this world, where is there a perfect defense?

Even the Warriors' future infinite rotation defense was only because there was no "Magic Shaq" like center in the future.

On the court, in the third quarter, as the 76ers could no longer hide Iverson, the Heat quickly took control of the game.

At this time, Carlisle's assistant was also confused.

Because in their view...

Since the "Zhuxian (Immortal Slaughtering) Formation" had already failed against the Heat...

Then why wouldn't Carlisle adjust his defensive changes?

It's a pity...

It was just that Su Feng didn't know what these two assistant coaches were thinking.

Otherwise, Su Feng would definitely tell them...

Carlisle, it was obvious tonight that he wanted to fight him to the end.

"A new... 'Su Feng Law'?"

On the court, looking at Carlisle's confident face, Su Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Different from the Su Feng of the past, who only knew how to rely on hard work...

The Su Feng of today...

Was not just someone who knew how to score on the court.

At the Zhongzhou Arena, in the third quarter, under Su Feng's patient orchestration, Butler, who could always get a chance to single out Iverson on the court, scored 14 points in a single quarter.

And in this quarter...

Taking advantage of Butler's rampage, O'Neal also took the opportunity to slack off.

After all, this fathead fish's age was already there, so for O'Neal's slacking off in the third quarter, Su Feng also secretly gave him a big thumbs up.

And in the final quarter...

Just when Carlisle had prepared himself for Su Feng to attack at any time...

He never expected...

Tonight, Su Feng, who had installed the passing key, could really kill the 76ers alive by orchestrating his teammates!

On the court, although the妖刀(yao dao, demon blade) didn't come out of its sheath as Su Feng had expected...

But after Ariza unexpectedly made three consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter...

The Heat had basically locked in the victory of this game.

And in the second half of the fourth quarter, O'Neal, who returned to the court, also scored consecutive points by going down after pick-and-rolls with Su Feng.

In the end, Su Feng, who had狂砍(kuang kan, wildly chopped) 21 points in the first half, surprisingly only scored 5 points in the second half.

However...

The Heat were the ones who had the last laugh in this game.

In the whole game, the score between the two teams was 117 to 104.

And in addition to scoring 26 points, Su Feng also contributed 11 rebounds and 16 assists for the Heat.

To be reasonable...

If it wasn't because Butler and O'Neal always liked to dribble a few more times when playing singles...

Then in Su Feng's view, it was hard to say that he could break his single-game assist record tonight.

And on the 76ers' side, Iverson scored a game-high 39 points for the team, while Yao Ming had 27 points and 10 rebounds.

In the second half of the game, as time went by, Yao Ming's touch also declined.

And at this time...

We must mention O'Neal, who had been slacking off for a whole quarter in the third quarter.

In this game, in the third quarter, O'Neal only scored two points through free throws.

But in the second half of the final quarter, he contributed 12 points for the Heat.

Although in terms of the final score, he only scored 4 points more than Yao Ming...

But in terms of the scoring composition, O'Neal showed Yao Ming his experienced side.

And after the game, at the first time, Su Feng also received a mocking... ah no, good news call from Los Angeles!

"Is your everything else besides passing so bad now?" Because he had been sour in the Lakers' locker room for a full two hours...

So no one knew how much Kobe wanted to run to Philadelphia at this moment and bury O'Neal and Su Feng, these two male dogs, alive.

"What's your rush? When Christmas comes, you'll know how terrifying my scoring ability is now!"

And listening to Kobe's sour sarcasm, Su Feng said while picking his nose.

Because of this year's Christmas game, a certain Jewish little old man was deliberately causing trouble...

So according to the schedule, on December 25th, the Heat will fly to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers at the Staples Center.

And for this game...

Kobe might not believe it if he said it.

As early as more than a month ago...

Su Feng and O'Neal had made a key mark on their little notebooks together.

What a joke!

For Su Feng, if playing basketball wasn't for beating Kobe and Little Kobe...

Then what fun would there be?
