Chapter 1 After the First Quarter

After the first quarter, with the score on the scoreboard reading 34 to 14, the Trail Blazers fans at the Rose Garden had already entered self-isolation mode.

On TNT, Barkley, who felt that the Heat were becoming more and more ruthless this season, tried to excuse his team, saying, "Although the Trail Blazers are 20 points behind the Heat in the first quarter, in my opinion, the difference in strength between the Trail Blazers and the Heat is not as big as the score shows.

Next, Nate (McMillan) has to think of a way.

Because I believe that no Trail Blazers supporter can accept such a score."

In front of the TV, listening to Barkley's explanation that seemed like an excuse...

For a moment, even the American fans couldn't figure out whether he was criticizing the Trail Blazers or helping them.

So, as a commentator, you need to build some trust with the audience during your commentary.

In fact, from an objective perspective, Barkley's words were indeed very reasonable.

Because the gap in strength between the Heat and the Trail Blazers was not that big to begin with.

It's just that because someone was celebrating their "birthday" tonight, Spoelstra on the Heat side was preparing for this game as if it were the NBA Finals.

And conversely...

The young Trail Blazers players clearly only regarded this game as a normal regular season game.

Paul was one of the few players on this Trail Blazers team who carefully analyzed and studied the Heat before the game.

It's a pity...

On the court, just as I, Paul, transformed into a siege cannon to capture territory for the Trail Blazers...

How could Paul know that in order to play well in this game, Su Feng had studied his game footage for a full 58 hours before the game?

Plus, with those analyses of Paul's weaknesses in his memory...

Tonight, even if he, Chris Paul, transformed into a railgun, he couldn't penetrate Su Feng's armor that had been stacked for ten years.

In the first quarter, Su Feng scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in a single quarter.

On CCTV, Yu Jia, who had done his homework in advance, said with emotion, "Since the NBA has complete technical statistics...

According to NBA official statistics, Su Feng is now the player in NBA history with the most 20+ point quarters.

Just like the American media said, when it comes to scoring ability, he is already the best in history."

Before the start of the second quarter, watching Su Feng, who was still tireless in the second quarter, Trail Blazers coach McMillan immediately felt the bitterness that the coaches of those teams who had been defeated by the Heat had tasted before.

In McMillan's view, no matter how perverted Su Feng's scoring ability was, the most painful thing for him was his unsolvable stamina.

Because in general, in the first half of the second quarter, the main players of each team need to rest appropriately.

But since entering the league...

Except for games where he was forced to clock off work because of "garbage time"...

When have you ever seen Su Feng come off to rest?

Outrageous!

In McMillan's eyes, Su Feng's stamina was truly outrageous!

There was no way, in the second quarter, if Su Feng didn't rest, then Garnett and Paul McMillan would naturally have to leave one on the court.

As a result, after careful consideration, McMillan immediately looked at Garnett with affection.

Garnett: "..."

At the Rose Garden, the Trail Blazers attacked first in the second quarter.

After Hayes came off, Haslem, known as the Heat's first fierce general, took over the task of defending Garnett.

On the court, after the first quarter's confrontation, Garnett also realized the importance of going to a deeper position to ask for the ball to ensure that he could use his height advantage in front of these short and strong rebounding monsters.

But...

In the low post, Garnett finally got a comfortable opportunity for a back-to-back single...

Su Feng unethically double-teamed him.

And at this moment...

The wonderful expression on Garnett's face was almost like Bu Jingyun played by He Rundong.

—Don't come over!

In the second quarter, the only player on the Trail Blazers with an outside threat was their shooting guard, Charles Smith.

Therefore, with Ariza responsible for tailing this guy, Su Feng was not worried about Garnett passing the ball at all.

And as Su Feng expected, forced by the blocked passing lane, even if Garnett felt sorry for his stats, he had to choose to shoot forcibly.

As a result...

Clang!

What a "iron-blooded" turnaround!

As the number one "domineering tough guy" in this league, Garnett's shot was "clang" as it should be!

And in the restricted area, Mourning also took down this rebound without letting anyone else "clang."

On the court, after asking for the basketball from Mourning, the Heat advanced the ball through Ginobili to play transition offense.

Tonight, because he was worried that Lou Wei, this young man, couldn't grasp Su Feng's birthday night...

So, before the game, Riley earnestly advised his beloved disciple, Xiao Sizi, "Tactics or no tactics don't matter, but if you want to earn money as the Heat's coach, then you have to ensure that Su plays happily on the court."

Hearing this, Xiao Sizi said after a long silence, "But teacher... are you sure Manu can grasp it?"

Riley: "..."

Well, Riley really couldn't answer Spoelstra about this question.

Because who could guess how Ginobili, this unique man, would play on the court?

And in that instant...

As Ginobili dribbled the ball all the way into the Trail Blazers' defensive hinterland, Spoelstra felt that he would have to find a job in an electronics factory tomorrow.

Because it was said that tonight was Emperor Feng's birthday (Note 1)...

But if he couldn't even satisfy Su Feng's small birthday wish, then how could he have the face to continue staying in the Heat's coaching position?

However...

Just as Spoelstra's chest was aching...

Facts proved that he and Riley seemed to have a big misunderstanding about Ginobili.

What the hell was he talking about?

As the existence in this Heat team whose team status was second only to Su Feng...

How could Ginobili not know that he could have the identity of the Heat's second-in-command entirely because of Emperor Feng's support?

In Ginobili's view, usually, he would just go for it no matter what...

But tonight...

He, Manu Ginobili, was Steve Nash by Su Feng's side!

On the court, speaking of Nash quickly, Ginobili managed to pass the ball to Su Feng in the middle of the Trail Blazers' muscle jungle!

Judging from the passing idea and the final result...

Even if you replaced Nash, he couldn't have done better than Ginobili.

But as for the quality of this pass...

You can only say that Ginobili is indeed a "Feng"-like man.

"Good pass, Manu! You really are my Steve... Ervin Johnson!" On the court, after receiving Ginobili's crotch pass and scoring his 22nd point of the game...

Because he still loved Nash in his heart, Su Feng had to say something against his conscience and casually found a "general" figure in his eyes to praise Ginobili.

There was no way.

Su Feng's feelings for Nash were still different after all.

After all, Nash's pass was the most comfortable pass Su Feng had ever received in his life.

As for Kobe and Iverson in the early years?

Well...

Even if you add McGrady and Carter, Nash would still be better in Su Feng's eyes.

And on the court, listening to Su Feng's praise, Ginobili also turned to O'Neal, who was chatting with Payton on the bench, and said, "Hey, Shaq, now you should know why I'm the second-in-command of this Heat team, right?"

O'Neal: "..."

In Su Feng's previous life, because the Spurs' team culture was relatively "serious," many fans mistakenly thought that Ginobili was a serious person.

But in fact...

Not only was Ginobili's style of play unorthodox, but he was also the number one goofball in this Heat team.

In this life, without Bo's deliberate suppression, Su Feng felt that Ginobili would definitely not say that he regretted being born too early when he retired in the future.

Because of his current state...

Dare you say he's not enjoying the joy that basketball brings him?

On the court, back again, the Trail Blazers had the ball.

Garnett, who was fighting for pride, finally waited for the opportunity to roar at the sky.

In the low post, before Su Feng's double-team arrived, Garnett, who had become smarter, directly shot over Haslem.

In this position, Garnett's height advantage could be fully utilized, so Haslem had no way to deal with him.

But...

On the court, before Garnett could start his spellcasting...

"I'm sorry!

I didn't defend this well!"

While angrily hammering his chest, Haslem shouted in advance.

Moreover, in order to block Garnett's only retreat, Haslem punished himself by doing five push-ups before running to the frontcourt.

Garnett: "..."

On CCTV, Zhang said with a smile, "That's why everyone says Haslem is a real man, right? Look at this ball, he didn't defend well, so he immediately punished himself by doing five push-ups.

In comparison, Garnett, who has always been considered to have a tough style of play, seems a little cowardly in front of him tonight."

Yu Jia also echoed, "This is called the brave win when enemies meet on a narrow road.

You Garnett are tough, right?

Then I'll be even tougher than you!"

On the sidelines, on the Heat's bench, looking at Garnett, who was feeling depressed at the moment, O'Neal was filled with the shadow of himself at the age of 29.

The train of time hurried by.

From Los Angeles to Miami.

Never had there been a moment when O'Neal was so glad that he had seen the essence of contemporary NBA early on.

What's the point of face!

Playing in the NBA, hugging Su Feng's thigh, wouldn't that mean you could watch others have their mentality broken by him every day?

And on the court, unlike previous games, because Su Feng wanted to strive to complete the "Wolves' Ambition" series of missions in one battle tonight, he knew that the time left for him was running out, so he was having a race against time.

The Trail Blazers, who lacked toughness on the front line, couldn't stop Su Feng, who was in a hot scoring streak.

In the first six minutes of this quarter alone, Su Feng scored 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.

In the second half of the quarter, O'Neal returned to the court.

And at this time, what made the Trail Blazers fans' hearts ache to the point of being unable to breathe was...

Su Feng had regained his three-point touch that had been broken for nearly 10 minutes.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Still damn it!

No!

Why is your shooting so unreasonable?

In Su Feng's original timeline, regarding this question, the teams whose mentality had been broken by Curry and Klay also wanted to know the answer.

Because the three-point shooting percentage of the "Splash Brothers" had never been lower than 40% in their careers.

In the past two years, because Su Feng had gradually adapted to playing at a weight of 108 kilograms, just like Mansias said...

At this moment, he was at the stage of his career with the highest shooting stability.

To put it bluntly.

It's not that Su Feng didn't want to miss shots to earn iron points.

It's just that his current strength didn't allow him to do that.

At the Rose Garden, at the end of the half, the Heat, who were playing away, had expanded their lead to 30 points.

69 to 39.

And at the end of the first half, Su Feng's personal score tonight had already reached 45 points.

On TNT, Barkley said regretfully, "It's a pity, if Su can play a full 4 quarters tonight, then maybe we can know the answer to the question of whether he can score 100 points in an NBA game."

And on the side, Smith angrily stabbed the hearts of Trail Blazers fans.

"For the people of Portland, they definitely don't want to see their home team suffer a crushing defeat at home.

Because last season, they had just lost to the Mavericks by 61 points in the playoffs."

"Actually, there's nothing shameful about losing a basketball game by a large margin.

Kenny, you have to know that Michael Jordan also lost to me by 58 points in a game." Taking this opportunity, Barkley also subtly bragged about himself.

"Charles, there's a saying in my hometown...

Even the most thick-skinned thief wouldn't say he's a big robber.

I think this sentence is perfect for you right now." Hearing this, Smith immediately retorted Barkley.

And now...

On TNT, a joyful debate began about how they worked together with Su Feng to hammer Jordan by 58 points, and even if Su Feng had 99% of the credit, wouldn't Barkley have 1% of the credit?

Jordan, who was dragged out to be whipped again tonight, will not be mentioned for the time being.

After halftime, the game continued.

At the beginning of the third quarter, in times of crisis, you still have to rely on my Paul.

At the top of the arc, after skillfully dribbling out a space, I saw Paul raise his hand and drop his knife, and he cut down old Payton!

Even if the abyss is ahead tonight, a sexy and tenacious man like my Paul will only choose to step down with one foot.

During the halftime break, looking at his teammates with low morale, Paul was the only player on the Trail Blazers who had not chosen to give up.

"Some people say that it's a very sad thing to be born in our current era.

Because no matter how hard you try, you're destined to only become Su's background.

But I don't think so.

In my opinion, it's a very lucky thing to be born in our current era.

If playing basketball isn't for defeating Su, then what's the point?"

Perhaps, one day, the NBA's superheroes will bow their heads to the king one by one.

But in Paul's view, that's definitely not today.

Perhaps, one day, people will despair of the sport of basketball because of Su Feng's continued dominance.

But in Paul's view, that's definitely not today either.

Today.

At this moment.

Now.

Chris Paul is still fighting!

Sorry!

Since he fell in love with basketball, his Chris Paul's way of basketball has been to move forward!

In Su Feng's previous life, you could criticize Paul for playing dirty.

You could also criticize Paul for not even touching the Western Conference Finals floor himself before he met Harden.

In addition, you could also criticize him for often getting injured and dropping the ball in key games.

But, if you criticize Paul's desire to win and his love for basketball...

Then I'm sorry...

In this world, 5.8 billion Paul fans will be your enemies.

It's just a pity that...

At least tonight...

The young Chris Paul still doesn't have the strength to shake the king's rule.

At the Rose Garden, under Su Feng's performance of scoring 61 points in three quarters...

When this game entered the final quarter, all the efforts Paul had made for this game had turned into bubbles.

"Shaq, do you know why even until today, I'm still constantly telling myself that I have to keep training, training, training?" In the final quarter, when he returned to the bench to rest, Su Feng looked up at O'Neal and asked.

Hearing this, O'Neal shook his head.

In fact, regarding this question, O'Neal also wanted to know the answer.

Because in O'Neal's view, Su Feng should be regarded as the most prestigious, strongest, and influential man in today's NBA.

But...

Just the kind of life that Su Feng usually chooses to live, like a ascetic monk...

O'Neal really couldn't understand.

"Because in this era...

There are really too many...

Young people who dare to draw their swords against the gods."

Looking at Paul, who was full of frustration but still full of fighting spirit, on the Trail Blazers' bench, Su Feng smiled with relief.

In Su Feng's original timeline, different from the views of many Paul haters.

Su Feng never thought that Chris Paul not winning a championship meant that he didn't deserve to be the "NBA Chief Point Guard" in his memory.

Because in the early 21st century...

There were as many superstar players who didn't win championships in the NBA as you wanted.

Maybe, the championship is the only standard for many people to evaluate a star player.

But in Su Feng's view.

Players like Chris Paul are also worthy of respect.

In the end, 135 to 104, the Heat started their Western Conference road trip with a 31-point victory on the road.

And although the final point difference between the two teams didn't reach 61 like some Heat fans and Paul haters wanted...

But Su Feng's 61 points in the first three quarters still successfully hooked up with the 61 meme.

And it's worth mentioning that...

This was Su Feng's first 61+ score this season.

At the same time, it was also another time in his career...

60+ in three quarters.

And New York...

Regarding Su Feng's hot state, and the discussions about Su Feng and Kobe that had been almost uninterrupted since the new season...

At this moment, Stern didn't know whether he should be happy or annoyed.

"Do you think the Heat have a chance to break the Raptors' NBA historical best record this season?" That day, looking at his successor Mark, Stern asked with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, after thinking for a while, Mark, who knew why Stern would ask himself this question, smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't know either...

But based on their current state...

David, I don't think 74 wins and 8 losses is the limit for this Miami Heat team."

…
