Chapter 1 NBA All-Star Weekend

February 1st, the NBA officially announced the starters and reserves for the 2015 New York All-Star Weekend.

Western Conference starting five: Yao, Su Feng, Paul George, Kobe, James.

Eastern Conference starting five: Duncan, Griffin, Leonard, Harden, Paul.

Western Conference reserves: Durant, Westbrook, Nowitzki, Curry, Nowitzki, Aldridge, Cousins.

Eastern Conference reserves: Wade, Rose, Anthony, Horford, Lowry, DeRozan, Gasol.

As in previous years, this year's New York All-Star Weekend will continue to use the "Bp horse selection" format. At 15:00 on February 7th, Su Feng, the Western Conference All-Star and the overall vote leader of this All-Star voting, will select his team through live television with Leonard, this year's Eastern Conference All-Star vote leader.

It is lamentable that Durant only received 500,000 votes in this year's All-Star voting.

Due to the Supersonics' poor record, even though Durant created topics for himself with his 8,000 alt accounts every day after the four rounds of voting, his final number of votes was only one-tenth of Kobe's.

And after Gasol Jr. and Middleton were injured and unable to attend this year's All-Star Game, the Kings' twin towers, Aldridge and Cousins, became lucky.

Last summer, Aldridge, who could no longer tolerate the Knicks, actively requested a trade before the start of the draft, and ushered in a big breakout this season.

It has to be said that whether DeAntoni relied on coaxing or used the great忽悠之术 (hū yōu zhī shù, deceptive art) on Cousins, Cousins has played with the style of an All-Star center this season.

And as the vanguard in the Kings' twin towers, his tacit cooperation with Aldridge has also led the Kings to rank fourth in the Western Conference standings.

To date, Aldridge and Cousins are averaging 24.8 points and 8.4 rebounds, and 25.4 points and 9.8 rebounds respectively, making them the highest offensive efficiency inside combination in the NBA this season.

As someone who's been there, Su Feng was not surprised that Aldridge and Cousins could seamlessly connect.

Because before Cousins went into the factory for repairs, he also had a honeymoon period with Anthony Davis when he was traded to the Pelicans later.

With shoes on, Aldridge, who is nearly seven feet tall, is now at his peak.

At mid- and long-range, he has a jump shot hit rate of nearly 45%, which not only helps Cousins share the pressure after being double-teamed, but also, before Cousins' brain loses control of his limbs due to overheating, Aldridge, who plays very selflessly, can always play a tacit inside-out passing game with Cousins.

Previously, in an interview, Cousins had said that Aldridge was his大哥 (dà gē, big brother) for life.

In addition, Paul George's ability to become a Western Conference All-Star starter this year is also related to the NBA's new president Mark continuing Stern's strategy of promoting people.

Because before Stern retired, he was very optimistic that Leonard and Paul George could take over from Su Feng and Kobe respectively.

So this year, the NBA has invested a lot of resources in Paul George.

As for the East, Harden's ability to reverse Wade in the All-Star voting is related to the Hawks' decline in performance after entering December.

Previously, when the Hawks traded Ibaka, Su Feng had asserted that the Hawks' defense system would collapse in the new season.

As a result, exactly as Su Feng predicted, although Ibaka has been wearing the "softie" title for many years, without him, the Hawks' inside defense can't be described as soft anymore...

Instead, everyone is riding them. Anyone who catches the elder Gasol, who is acting as both father and mother for the Hawks' perimeter players on the inside, wants to dunk on him.

Gasol is suffering, Gasol doesn't want to say it.

Truth be told.

This season, even if Gasol Jr. thinks he is having a miserable time with the Lakers, he is not qualified to compare his misery with his older brother.

Because even if you Gasol Jr. are miserable, you still have five championship rings, but what about Gasol Sr.?

Three-time runner-up.

At this moment, a piece of background music should be played for Gasol Sr.:

The north wind howls, snowflakes flutter.

…

February 2nd, the Lakers play against the Knicks on the road.

After being traded for Roy, Anthony, whose recent performance has become sweeter and sweeter, received a warm response from the fans at the entrance ceremony.

You see, the Knicks fans are actually very "simple."

As long as you can deliver a satisfactory report card, who says they are unwilling to cheer for you?

It's just...

"Su——————Feng!!"

No matter how well you play for the Knicks, Madison Square Garden will always be King Su Feng's home.

Before the game, because Su Feng had already said in the team that he would strive to surpass Wilt Chamberlain before the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers players on the court almost started fighting with each other because they all wanted to pass the ball to Su Feng.

What are you kidding me!

This is the moment when His Majesty Feng will once again ascend to the pinnacle of history!

Do you know the gold content of passing the ball to him at this time?

It's just...

On the court, Su Feng, who hasn't been this "ball-hogging" for a long time, is obviously a little uncomfortable.

In the first quarter, he only made 6 of 13 shots, and didn't even score 20 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, in order to give Su Feng more time to rack up stats, the Lakers' substitutes tacitly adopted the "look-but-don't-touch defense" magic.

In this quarter, Randle, a freshman who came off the bench, performed well.

On the court, the actively hustling Randle even led the Knicks to overtake the score in the first half of the second quarter.

In the second half of the second quarter, Su Feng and Kobe returned to the court.

And as Su Feng frequently hit jump shots after receiving Kobe's wonderful passes, CCTV's commentator Zhang also said, "So, I say, Kobe is the one who knows how to pass the ball to Su Feng.

You have to know, this passing, whether it's the strength or the route, it's all very particular."

Uh...

Commentator Zhang is indeed Kobe's favorite commentator in this life.

Because Zhang can find an angle to praise Kobe, which Su Feng probably never imagined.

Madison Square Garden, at the end of the first half, the Lakers led 57 to 54.

In the second half of the second quarter, Su Feng, who scored 14 points for the Lakers, scored a total of 31 points for the Lakers in the first half of the game.

After the intermission, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Compared with the Black Mamba vs. Yellow Mamba duel in those years, Kobe and Roy's matchup this night was simply an old man's brawl.

Before the start of the 14/15 season, through the query function of the 打铁 (dǎ tiě, bricklaying) system, Su Feng knew that Kobe's speed ability value had been eroded by the years and only had seventy-odd points left.

And what about Roy?

In order to prolong his career, as far as Su Feng can see, the speed at which this Roy breaks through is like a replica of Kobe.

However, in terms of experience and skills, these two different-colored "slowbas" are not comparable to those talent monsters.

On the court, in the third quarter, Roy repeatedly faked out Kobe on the inside and outside lines, scoring a lot of points for the Knicks.

And at this time, Su Feng's position in Kobe's heart was once again proven.

Because if it was in normal times, wouldn't Kobe have immediately given Roy a few "Answer. Bricks"?

But, as long as he thinks of Su Feng's busy figure cooking for him in the kitchen...

Bah!

As long as he thinks of the indestructible friendship between Su Feng and himself over the years...

Don't ask!

Just ask, on this night, Kobe only has Su Feng in his eyes!

In the third quarter, Su Feng scored another 17 points for the Lakers.

On the court, before entering the final quarter, the score between the two teams was 87 to 79.

In the final quarter, under Su Feng's instruction, Su Feng didn't rest.

And on the Knicks' side, Jackson made a decision that he would regret immensely.

That is, he didn't choose to let Anthony rest, thinking that he could just deal with whatever came his way.

Admittedly, in the NBA, using a star to deal with a star is a choice that many coaches will make at this time.

But in the previous three quarters, Anthony, who had been restraining his offensive desire under Roy's suppression, after losing Roy's restriction on him, how could he suppress the raging oriental iron flames in his heart?

You have to know that last year, after being beaten black and blue by Su Feng leading the team, Anthony was almost喷死 (pēn sǐ, verbally abused to death) by the New York fans afterward.

Therefore, tonight, in the eyes of Anthony, who has been confident recently and even led the team to win against the Warriors, this is a great opportunity for him to prove in front of his "father" that he is no worse than the "crown prince" LeBron James!

"As the Knicks' star player, Anthony is indeed playing very resolutely tonight." CCTV, watching Anthony, who was repeatedly missing shots in the final quarter, commentator Zhang said so "high-EQly."

Obviously.

Anthony didn't prove in front of Su Feng that he had the ability to take over from Su Feng as he had thought.

Because in the final quarter, in order to smoothly take the game and avoid an explosive performance turning into a meaningless one, under Su Feng's exemplary leadership, the Lakers instantly increased their defensive intensity.

In Su Feng's previous life, just looking at scoring and the determination to score, Anthony was definitely one of the most offensively powerful stars in the NBA for a long time.

But like Billups said before.

If Anthony's isolation plays are the last choice when the team can't open up the situation.

Then Anthony is a sharp spear.

However, when the team needs patience to crack and disassemble the opponent's defensive system...

Anthony's overly direct isolation plays...

It is the catalyst for the team's demise.

As one of Su Feng's famous successors, although Anthony usually watches a lot of Su Feng's game tapes, it is obvious that he has not mastered the essence of Su Feng's unreasonable offensive initiation.

In Su Feng's opinion, if Anthony and Durant's personalities could be merged, then these two might really have a chance to take over from him.

In the end, 119 to 100.

In the cheers of Madison Square Garden, Su Feng, who scored a total of 57 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Lakers, scored 50+ points in the regular season for the 118th time in his personal career after this game. (Note 1)

On the big screen, the achievement once hailed as the most difficult to surpass in the NBA was also given at the same time.

Below Wilt Chamberlain's black and white photo, was the number "118." (Note 2)

Since the birth of the NBA, to date, including deceased players and active players, only 4 players have scored 50+ points at least 20 times in NBA games.

And these four players are:

Chamberlain, Su Feng, Jordan, Kobe.

However, among these four, even if you add up the number of 50+ points of Jordan and Kobe, they are not half of Su Feng and Chamberlain's. (Note 3)

118 times 50+.

Now, as long as Su Feng can take another step forward, he will create a new NBA history!

And interestingly, eighteen years ago, Su Feng, who was only 19 years and 8 months old, scored 50+ points for the first time in his career in a game against the New York Knicks.

Eighteen years later, still in New York, still in Madison Square Garden.

Su Feng officially tied the record of 118 times 50+ created by Wilt Chamberlain in the ancient era.

Eighteen years...

How many eighteen years can one have in this life?

CCTV, having personally witnessed Su Feng's rise to fame, to being a regional overlord, and then to dominating the league over these eighteen years, commentator Zhang said with tears in his eyes:

"Of course, there is no banquet in the world that doesn't end.

But at this moment, I hope that time can slow down a little bit.

Oh years, don't rush, I won't push away what's coming.

Oh years, don't rush, I will still chase after what's gone far."

New York, looking at Madison Square Garden, which was like winning a championship that night, admittedly, ordinary people can't understand the New York fans' love for Su Feng at all.

But you have to admit that...

In this "king's blessed land," the devout New York fans added a different color to Su Feng's coronation tonight.

"Su——————Feng!!"

"Su——————Feng!!"

"Su——————Feng!!"

In the players' tunnel, watching Su Feng, who stayed alone in the center of the court and enjoyed the cheers for a full ten minutes before leaving, Kobe admitted...

At this moment, he was indeed a little envious of Su Feng.

On the throne, full of glory.

Under the throne, bones piled up.

From the rookie who begged him to practice an hour more, to today's basketball emperor, in this league, probably no one knows better than Kobe the hardships Su Feng has experienced along the way.

"Good job." Patting Su Feng on the shoulder, Kobe smiled.

"One more game." Hugging Kobe, Su Feng said.

"Yeah, the next game is our home game." Looking at Su Feng, Kobe said.

…

On the 4th, the Lakers sit at home at the Staples Center to face the Brooklyn Nets.

To date, the Nets, who are ranked second in the Eastern Conference, are one of the championship favorites this season.

Therefore, the attention of this Lakers-Nets battle was hyped up by the media and fans a week ago.

But...

Because on the 2nd in New York, Su Feng officially tied Wilt Chamberlain's record of 118 times 50+.

So this game, whether in terms of significance or traffic, far exceeded other games that night.

Will the Basketball God include another historical record in his bag tonight?

Before the game, people asked themselves in their hearts.

At the sidelines, Britney, whose beauty is no less than that of those years and whose figure can make a group of Hollywood actresses envious, also came to the scene tonight.

And when a close-up shot was given to this American goddess, Barkley also specially reminded, "Back then, when Su scored 50+ for the first time, if I remember correctly, Britney also came to the sidelines to cheer for him that night."

Opening his small notebook, after doing some verification, Smith nodded and said, "That's right, that was when the rumors between her and Su were at their most intense."

On the court, after the warm-up ended, as the big screen gave the starting lineups of the two teams tonight, the nearly 20,000 Lakers fans in the Staples Center also erupted with deafening cheers.

Nets: Howard, Griffin, Antetokounmpo, Thornton, Paul.

Lakers: Adams, Jokic, Su Feng, Kobe, Bledsoe.

In the center of the court, Adams, who hadn't lost a tip-off since Gasol Jr. was injured, won the opening attack for the Lakers.

The game officially began, with Bledsoe responsible for dribbling the ball across half court.

Jokic moved up to the high post to receive the ball, while Adams helped Su Feng successfully delay Antetokounmpo, who lacked德 (dé, virtue).

After being educated last year, Antetokounmpo was obviously much more "low-key" when he played against the Lakers again this year. Before the game, in an interview with Greek national television, Antetokounmpo said, "Now, I already know who Su is, but I also hope that people can remember my name in the future."

This season, the rapidly improving Antetokounmpo is averaging 14.8 points and 7.5 rebounds for the Nets.

Moreover, his defense line with Howard has also made many teams that rely on inside drives suffer.

But tonight, Antetokounmpo still didn't learn from his experience when he played against Su Feng last season.

On the outside, after receiving the ball from Jokic, Su Feng lightly shook his left shoulder, and Antetokounmpo jumped up uncontrollably.

So, in basketball, sometimes being too quick to react isn't necessarily a good thing.

Boom!

On the court, after dribbling the ball back a step, Su Feng immediately pulled up for a dry jumper.

Swish——!

0 to 3.

At the sidelines, Rondo, one of the "crutch trio" who also came to the scene tonight, looked at Gasol Jr. and smiled, "Why do I feel that after Steven started, Su is shooting more decisively on the court?"

Hearing this, Gasol Jr., who knew that Rondo was secretly mocking his poor offensive rebounding, secretly asked Lakers' third assistant coach Grant Hill for a technical statistic and whispered, "Doesn't Steven's average offensive rebound right now is only about 4?

I...I...I..."

Okay.

After seeing his average offensive rebound data, Gasol Jr. was completely speechless.

Because you can't let him say that 1.0 offensive rebounds per game is better than 4 offensive rebounds per game, right?

On the court, the Nets attacked.

Paul, who has changed from a young gun to an old gun, gave Griffin a wonderful pass after pick-and-rolling with him.

Jokic couldn't keep up with Griffin's cut, but fortunately, Adams, who is even more of a daddy than Gasol Jr., filled in time and blocked Griffin's path.

At the sidelines, Gasol Jr. at this moment was more anxious than an ant on a hot pot.

Because even if he plans to leave the Lakers after this season, he doesn't want to admit that Adams seems to be more suitable for the Lakers' starting center than him.

Fortunately, as a fairly all-around power forward, Griffin has almost no weaknesses except for his short arms.

Therefore, when he encountered Adams' help defense, Griffin lightly shook his right hand and passed the ball to Howard, who was in an open position.

Howard, who has been used to eating leftovers in the Nets in recent years, didn't refuse and slammed the ball in.

2 to 3.

"So, you can't just randomly help defend." At the sidelines, Gasol Jr. muttered to himself.

Back on offense, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

In order to give the boss a comfortable offensive opportunity, Bledsoe, who wanted to take advantage of Rondo's absence to establish his position as the Lakers' fourth leader, forcibly broke through Paul's defense.

"Good shot, Eric!

This is the breakthrough level that the Lakers' point guard should have!" On the Lakers' bench, Gasol Jr. cheered loudly for Bledsoe while looking at Rondo.

However, Bledsoe's idea was good.

But he ignored the Nets' inside defensive mobility.

In the Nets' defensive hinterland, because there were big men in all directions, Bledsoe could only throw the ball to the position where Su Feng was standing.

However, Paul, who was closely following him, had already predicted Bledsoe's passing route.

"Passing is a technical job." And at this time, Rondo also smiled at Gasol Jr.

On the court, after Paul stole the ball, the Nets quickly launched a counterattack.

Griffin fast-breaked and dunked successfully.

4 to 3.

It has to be said that compared with last season, the Nets have indeed become stronger this season.

In Su Feng's opinion, if Paul can avoid injuries in the playoffs, then the Nets are definitely the team with the best chance to break out of the Eastern Conference this year.

Because the defense line composed of Howard and Antetokounmpo can not only allow Griffin to put more thoughts on the offensive end, but also, Paul's restriction on the opponent's core point guard can make Stockton, a "ball-tapping" expert, directly call himself an expert.

The Lakers' offensive possession.

This time it was Kobe's turn to stand in the high post to receive the ball.

Su Feng sunk low, and Jokic stood at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Howard, who didn't want to defend too far out, hesitated with the ball, but Jokic didn't hesitate with him. After receiving Kobe's pass, he immediately threw out a three-pointer with a feeling that he didn't even jump.

Swish!

4 to 6.

CCTV, seeing this, commentator Zhang said, "This is Kobe.

Before, people always said that Kobe was no longer good, that Kobe had declined.

But you see, without Kobe, the Lakers' offense simply can't be played!"

(Kobe: I'm very satisfied, please continue to praise me with greater effort!)

On the court, the Nets' ball possession.

Paul used Griffin's screen to shake off Bledsoe, and also made a mid-range dry jumper!

6 to 6.

At the sidelines, Rondo, who had already forgotten that he was here to cheer for Su Feng, said, "In the NBA, not everyone can defend Chris into Trevor."

Gasol Jr.: "..."

Lakers offense.

Adams screened very tightly this time. On the wing, Su Feng directly opened "Run," receiving Kobe's ground pass and cutting to the basket to score two points.

"Some Lakers starters really need to reflect on themselves.

Why is it that what he can do, others can not only do, but even do it better than him." Down the court, while turning his head to deliberately not look at Gasol Jr., Rondo said.

Gasol Jr.: "..."

Staples Center, halfway through the first quarter, the Nets, who didn't want to be Su Feng's background board, gradually increased their defensive intensity on Su Feng's side.

As a result, Su Feng, who scored 5 points for the Lakers after the opening, fell into a brief scoring drought.

On defense, after testing the referee's penalty scale a few times, Antetokounmpo, who was already lacking virtue, pulled and tugged, and even made Gasol Jr. and Rondo, who were originally trying to compete for the third leader position by mocking each other, angry.

"Can this still be called defense? If it goes on like this, Su's jersey will probably be torn by him!" Gasol Jr. said with an angry expression.

"Is the referee blind tonight? Why doesn't he call such an obvious foul?" Rondo also said with a look of indignation.

Truth be told.

Although in recent years, everyone has been using the "Su Feng Rule" to target Su Feng in the game.

But Antetokounmpo's unscrupulous defense like tonight...

Is absolutely unique.

However, the fans who were speaking out for Su Feng at the scene and in front of the TV didn't know that...

The reason why Su Feng has slowed down his scoring momentum in the last few minutes...

It's just because the hunter often consumes a wave of prey before starting the hunt.

On the court, as the first quarter entered the second half.

Antetokounmpo, who has been running back and forth with Su Feng, realized in a daze...

In the last one or two possessions.

It seems that even with pulling and tugging, he can't completely control Su Feng's movements.

As a young player, Antetokounmpo's physical fitness of course couldn't be a problem.

But, at this moment, his height has grown to 208 cm, and he has also gained a wave of weight last summer...

Can he really keep running with Su Feng for the whole game?

Those taller than me can't run as fast as me.

Who said that Su Feng can only attack with the ball?

In the high post, while patiently holding the ball and observing Su Feng's running frequency, at this moment, Kobe, who seemed to have returned to his old self, smiled and said, "I pass and you run, right?"
