The sky was azure, and outside the window were paper cranes.

Entering his twelfth year in the league, Shaquille O'Neal had never felt so lost.

From the moment he entered the league, his incredible power had earned him the reputation of a "nuclear weapon" on the basketball court.

As the youngest player to be selected as one of the "NBA's 50 Greatest Players"...

No one doubted that O'Neal would one day inherit the mantle from Jordan, Olajuwon, and others, and rule the league.

However...

The more he recalled how high-spirited he had been in his youth, the more "ridiculous" he felt he was now.

Could it be, as the fans online said...

That God created him only to prove how awesome Jordan and Su Feng were?

Lately, O'Neal had been wondering more than once...

If he had refused to sign autographs for those two brats, like Hardaway did back then, would Kobe and Su Feng have become disgusted with basketball?

Unfortunately...

Reality didn't have a time machine, and O'Neal wasn't Doraemon.

On the 23rd, after carrying the All-Star team...

"Well, I also want to play another year in college. We were actually only a little bit away from winning the NCAA championship this year." As for Su Feng's suggestion...

Coincidentally, Yi Jianlian himself thought so too!

After all, the NBA's number one player was already Su Feng.

And in the Chinese men's basketball team, besides that silly Yao, who else who had played in the NBA hadn't won an NBA championship?

Therefore, in Yi Jianlian's view...

It was time for him to become the only Chinese player to win an NCAA championship!

After watching Yi Jianlian's significant progress in basic skills during his freshman year in March Madness, on the 22nd, Su Feng returned to Miami and led the Heat to welcome the Lakers' challenge at home.

Before this game started, O'Neal's toes had developed some problems again.

Because after the All-Star Weekend, he tried his best to prove himself...

How could O'Neal's toes and his terrible shoes withstand the weight of this fathead fish?

As a result...

O'Neal, who was left in Los Angeles with Malone drawing circles on the ground, was completely resentful.

Because without him and Malone, the Lakers unexpectedly beat the Heat on the road!

Uh!

To be fair, this time it really wasn't Su Feng deliberately messing with O'Neal's mentality.

But with the season at this point, Su Feng couldn't guarantee that his performance would be as consistent as before in every game.

Plus, Su Feng's three "left-handed giants" all turned on "disaster mode" on the same night...

So, that night, looking at the scenery outside the window in Los Angeles...

How could O'Neal be in the mood to go clubbing and eat donuts?

The sky was azure...

Outside the window were paper cranes.
