Chapter 1 The Dallas Mavericks Launched a Jedi Counterattack in the Fourth Game After Trailing 1-2 in the Series.

Driven to the brink, they relied on their hot shooting to lead the Lakers by 11 points in the first quarter at the American Airlines Center.

In the second quarter, Terry, who had been suppressed by Su Feng for three games, finally erupted.

To get his shots off in front of Su Feng, Terry, being the madman that he is, directly borrowed a shooting package from the elementary schooler next door.

As a result, after Terry stretched his range, Su Feng could no longer hound him like before.

Because as the core of the Lakers' defense, Coach Lu couldn't use Su Feng like Matthew Dellavedova.

In this life, Su Feng has indeed changed people's perception of basketball.

On the court, after Terry hit two consecutive ultra-long three-pointers for the Mavericks, John Davis, who was still raging against three-pointers in the previous game, instantly turned into a hypocrite on the Mavericks' bench.

"The three-pointer is the best invention in the world, and no one is allowed to refute it!"

Just look at Davis' "ugly" face!

No joke...

Su Feng's "bad" personality today is definitely half Davis' fault.

In the second half of the second quarter, because the Lakers couldn't close the score...

On the advice of "Strategist Fan," Coach Lu also decisively issued an order to the Lakers' shooters on the court to fire at will.

Second battalion commander, it's time to let the opponents see the new equipment we just imported from Xiliang!

On the court, wielding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd equipped with an eight-times scope, Su Feng, who had been mocked by Kobe for failing to control Terry, instantly transformed into "Su Fengxian," who had killed his way in and out seven times at the Nantian Gate.

However, before Su Feng could charge all the way from Penglai East Road to the Lingxiao Palace, Kidd, who had been panicked by Su Feng's shooting, smiled slightly and invited "Nuo Lai Buddha" from Germany.

However, just as Nowitzki's Wuzhi Mountain was about to suppress Su Feng, Kobe, riding Marion, the big black horse, and chanting sutras while lifting the seal on Su Feng, joined the battle!

All you Daluo Jinxian, dare you say you're not cheating?

In the second half of the second quarter, the American Airlines Center had already become a battlefield of gods and demons.

In just six minutes, one brilliant play after another kept the audience dazzled.

In front of the TV, let alone sitting down to enjoy the game...

Even watching for one more second...

James felt a tightness in his chest at this moment!

Championship...

Will I really be able to win one in my lifetime?

Cleveland, watching these predecessors, each more like a god than the last...

Frowning, even though he was only 23 years and 5 months old...

At this moment, James' face looked as old as 50.

American Airlines Center, at the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed 57-67.

During the intermission, "Master Kobe" kept nagging his disciple Su Feng: "Richard only scored 5 points tonight, but you let Jason (Terry) score 15...

Can you even do this?"

Su Feng: "......"

"Also, although you and I both hit four three-pointers in the first half,

You took three more long-range shots than me...

Su, I'm not allowed to blame you.

But why can't you trust me more when you're not doing well?" After a pause, looking at Su Feng, who didn't even dare to talk back tonight...

Kobe admitted that he did feel good.

No choice.

Even if Kobe knew that if it wasn't for Su Feng attracting the defense, he wouldn't have had such easy opportunities to shoot...

For these kindergarten partners who always competed with each other...

Kobe would only selectively ignore Su Feng's contribution.

After the halftime break, in the second half, the Lakers were still struggling to chase points.

Because the referees' calls were clearly favoring the home team, the Mavericks...

So, with each team trading baskets, the Mavericks further widened the gap between them and the Lakers.

Whether in his past life or this one, Nowitzki in his prime was a master at drawing fouls.

Therefore...

With the referees favoring the Mavericks, Nowitzki was like a "Magneto" who killed whoever touched him tonight.

After the first three quarters, Gasol and Marion were both in foul trouble.

In the final quarter, seeing Nowitzki choosing to play the entire second half, Coach Lu had no choice but to send Jordan to match up with him.

As a result...

Although Jordan used his incredible bounce to block Nowitzki's one-legged fadeaway as soon as he came on...

After risking ending Nowitzki's lineage to block his signature move...

Jordan didn't get the chance to celebrate with his teammates.

Because...

The three referees all agreed that Jordan must have hit Nowitzki's hand.

After all, in the NBA, if Nowitzki's one-legged fadeaway could be blocked...

Would it still be a signature move?

However, after watching the slow-motion replay several times, TNT's Smith cried injustice for Jordan, saying, "DeAndre suffered from not being as famous as Dirk!"

As everyone knows,

In the NBA, the most aggrieved thing for rookies is never having to carry bags and shoes for the veterans...

But rather the calls they have to swallow during their rookie seasons.

Nowitzki was "godly" this night.

In the entire game, he got a total of 26 free throws, making all 26.

Until the end of the game, the Lakers were unable to catch up with the 10-point deficit they had been trailing by.

Because in stark contrast to Nowitzki...

On this night, Prince was practically hugging Su Feng on defense.

In the end, at 111-121, after losing the fourth game in Dallas, the Lakers would return to Staples Center to play the pivotal Game 5 against the Mavericks.

On the other side, Yao, who was eager to meet Su Feng again in the Finals, suffered a pain he couldn't bear in his life.

Because after leading the Celtics by 15 points in the first three quarters, the Sixers lost a game that was eerily similar to that Rockets team in Su Feng's memory.

As long as Yao's team doesn't collapse in the final quarter, it's a sunny day.

Without a doubt,

On this night, the two games that the Sixers had lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals were the prelude to their late-game collapse against the Celtics.

Wachovia Center, on Bird's advice, Miller Carr, throwing caution to the wind, successfully waited for Ray Allen's three-point barrage.

This season, since the start, Ray Allen's performance has been ridiculously good.

In this year's Celtics' playoff run, his three-point percentage has reached an astonishing 51.5%.

Thus, after being stunned by the Celtics' incredible comeback, the Sixers, trailing 1-3 in the series, became the first team in this year's Eastern and Western Conference Finals to be pushed to the brink.

Back to the Mavericks and Lakers, Game 5...

Although Nowitzki wasn't as annoying as Harden would be in the future...

The Lakers, playing at home, felt like they were playing on the road.

Because Kobe picked up three early fouls, he only played 10 minutes in the first half.

Fortunately, the Mavericks had the Jet, Terry, and the Lakers also had Mo Williams, who you never knew when he would explode.

In the first half, relying on the 18 points that Williams scored for the Lakers, they led the Mavericks by 7 points going into halftime.

And in the second half...

Kobe, who had been holding back for an entire half, also pushed back Su Feng's hand, which was already on the hilt of his saber, ready to draw it.

Hamilton couldn't keep Kobe in check every game.

Moreover, based on past experience,

Davis and the Mavericks players also believed that Su Feng needed the Mavericks to send heavy troops to guard him.

"Don't they know that I taught you how to play basketball?"

On this night, Kobe, who only had 4 points in the first half, but scored 17 points for the Lakers in the third quarter alone, looked at Su Feng at the end of the third quarter and said.

Su Feng: "......"

Cocky...

You're getting cocky, aren't you?

Alright!

If you've got the guts, be just as cocky in the fourth quarter!

Staples Center.

Because Kobe didn't play much in the first half tonight, Coach Lu also switched to using Kobe to lead the team in the final quarter, letting Su Feng temporarily return to the bench to rest.

And then...

There was no then.

Because if the Mavericks hadn't switched back to their starters early...

The Lakers would have had to go all in.

Then someone might really have become that incredibly awkward presence.

In this game, Kobe scored a total of 41 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Lakers.

The Lakers didn't give the Mavericks a chance to come back in the final quarter.

The final score of the game was 105-118.

After the game, Kobe, who was selected as the best player of the game, was overjoyed.

Because he, who always held grudges, hadn't forgotten Su Feng's sarcasm towards him in the first half.

Su Thief!

Won't you admit that the Lakers were able to win tonight thanks to my efforts?

At the post-match press conference, Su Feng, who had 19 points, 21 rebounds, and 11 assists for the Lakers, and at first glance, you might have thought he was a super center, said in an interview: "I'm very happy that Kobe was able to step up tonight.

But in my opinion, the best player of this game should be Maurice.

Because without the 18 points he scored for us in the first half, we would never have been able to enter the second half with a more relaxed mindset to fight the Mavericks."

Kobe: "......"

You're good, Su Feng!

I'm playing my heart out, is it so hard for you to acknowledge me once?

"Why should I acknowledge you?" After returning to the locker room, looking at Kobe, who was furious, Su Feng asked with a "confused" look.

"Because I played better than you in this game!" Kobe replied righteously.

"But isn't that what you should do?

Kobe...

You really are just a high school student who hasn't learned logical thinking.

Because don't you know that the premise for you to make me acknowledge you is that I have been denying you all along?

But in my heart...

Is there a better partner than you in the current league?" Spreading his hands, Su Feng said to Kobe.

And this time...

The Black Mamba, who was still so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet a second ago...

Suddenly turned into a docile little green snake.

But then again...

Su Dog!

Aren't you just a high school student like me?

……

Leading 3-2 in the series, the Lakers have successfully secured the match point in this Western Conference Finals.

On the other side, although the Sixers' players joined forces at the North Shore Garden Arena to keep the suspense of their series with the Celtics...

But with both sides leading 3-2,

Not many people in the world are optimistic that the Sixers can advance.

Because in the fifth game against the Celtics, Yao, McGrady, and Iverson all played for more than 45 minutes.

In the NBA, don't blame the head coach for liking to overuse star players.

Because in the decisive moment, if you don't choose to trust your star players, who else can you trust?

In the West, Game 6 of the Lakers and Mavericks Western Conference Finals moved to Dallas.

Knowing that the Celtics would most likely finish off the Sixers in the next game, Su Feng finally showed the world his full-power mode in this year's Western Conference Finals.

High-post face-up one-on-one.

Low-post back-to-basket one-on-one.

Pick-and-roll with Gasol followed by a mismatch one-on-one.

The facts have proven.

When you have players like Jordan and Su Feng...

The so-called triangle offense and Princeton are just a burden.

In the later stages of his career, the more his skills matured...

The more Jordan liked to have his teammates stay far away at key moments.

Because of this unreasonable fadeaway and turnaround jumper...

You thought he was killing people...

But in fact, he was destroying their hearts.

On the court, Kobe didn't try to steal the spotlight from Su Feng.

Just like every time Britney played dress-up with Su Feng, Su Feng would shout, "No, no, that's not good."

Muttering and cursing,

But when passing the ball to Su Feng, Kobe's body was more honest than anyone else's.

In the end, after turning the booing Dallas crowd into the Library of Congress...

In addition to leaving another 50+ performance with 55 points in the playoffs,

Su Feng and Kobe also successfully led the Lakers into the 08/09 season's Finals!

And there...

Waiting for them would be the Celtics, who would also eliminate the Sixers with a 4-2 score one day later.

Lakers versus Celtics.

The most classic matchup in NBA history.

No exceptions.

On the dome of the North Shore Garden Arena, eighteen championship banners fluttering in the wind were the best proof of the Celtics' success in the past.

And in the skies above Staples Center, there also hang thirteen championship banners representing the highest honor in the NBA.

The past of Jerry West and Baylor teaming up to resist the Celtics in the 1960s and 70s seemed like just yesterday.

And in the 1980s, the Black and White showdown between Bird and Johnson...

Became a symbol of the NBA entering the star era.

Counting the history of the NBA,

There is no doubt that

Only the Lakers and Celtics deserve the praise of being "powerhouses."

And at this moment, when these two teams meet in the Finals...

The sensation it caused...

Wasn't just limited to North America.

The Lakers led by Su Feng and Kobe.

And the Celtics, led by Duncan, who had the most say in playing against Su Feng in the past ten years in the NBA.

The battle blade that the King only showed once in the Western Conference Finals...

What it was waiting for was undoubtedly this moment!

And what Duncan, who had been in "health mode" for almost a year, was looking forward to...

Was also this moment!

According to the schedule, on June 5th, the Lakers would be at Staples Center to face the Celtics.

Like the previous Finals, the NBA would still use the old 2-3-2 Finals format this season.

Therefore, both Su Feng and Kobe knew very well.

In this Finals, the Lakers had to grab the opening game in order to not be at a complete disadvantage during the subsequent three-game road trip at the North Shore Garden.

"How is it, returning to the Finals stage again, are you nervous?" On the eve of the Finals, looking at Kobe, who had come to his house for dinner, Su Feng asked with a smile.

"Were you nervous the first time you played for Lower Merion?" Kobe retorted.

Su Feng shook his head, "Not nervous."

Kobe didn't believe it, saying, "You're lying!"

Su Feng shrugged, saying, "Back then, you could beat the other five players on that Lower Merion team by yourself, what was there for me to be nervous about?"

After covering his mouth and laughing for a while, Kobe, still unable to hide the lecherous smile on his face, said, "Actually, I'm not as strong as you said..."

Su Feng interrupted Kobe, saying, "So, now that you have such a thick thigh like me to hug, you must be secretly rejoicing in your heart, right?"

Kobe: "......"

Damn it, Su Thief!

Are you going to die if you don't show off?

Ugh!

If I call Su Feng a son of a b*tch, wouldn't I be cursing Britney too?

At the dinner table, after carefully looking at Su Feng for a while, Kobe said, "You know, compared to the two of us, I've always been more worried that our inside will be blown up by Tim."

Su Feng nodded in agreement.

"But, just like you told me before, no matter what, we have to choose to trust our teammates," Kobe continued.

Hearing this,

Looking at Kobe, Su Feng couldn't help but feel that Kobe had indeed matured in every way since his big injury.

"What do you say, should I help you defend Ray tomorrow night?" Su Feng asked.

Kobe shook his head very decisively, "Don't worry, in this Finals, I will definitely let Ray know what it means to have difficulty even breathing."

Su Feng smiled and didn't deny what Kobe said.

Because in his original timeline...

After being shot through by Ray Allen in the 07/08 season...

In that later "Dark War," Ray Allen was defended by Kobe into a Westbrook.

Alright.

Now that the meal is over.

All that's left is to get a good night's sleep.

And then...

Will be the final battle!

Night of the 5th.

When countless fans from all directions poured into Staples Center.

When commentators from television stations from more than 50 countries took their seats at the commentary booth at Staples.

When nearly 600 reporters picked up their long and short-barreled cannons and aimed them at the two teams' stars, who appeared on the court one by one.

At this moment...

Whether it was Jay Chou or Leonardo DiCaprio sitting courtside tonight...

They were just like the fans in front of the television.

Just an ordinary Lakers supporter.

Looking at Magic Johnson, the Lakers legend who came to the scene to supervise the battle tonight, Bird said to him with nostalgia, "Why does your court look so empty up there?"

Looking into Bird's eyes,

Knowing that Bird was complaining about the Lakers having five fewer championships than the Celtics, Johnson retorted, "Because it's waiting for Su and Kobe to give it a new renovation."

Bird shrugged.

Knowing that this wouldn't completely break Johnson's defense, Bird continued after a pause, "I recently watched your son's video on the internet... or rather, daughter?

Anyway, the one who plays basketball in Thailand.

I have to say, he really has talent!"

Johnson: "......"

Fuck you, Larry!

Are you trying to die, Larry?

Don't you know the principle of leaving a line for others so you can meet again in the future?

On the court.

After the entrance ceremony,

Duncan, Wallace, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, and Parker were already standing in the center of the stage.

And on the Lakers' side...

Led by Su Feng and Kobe, Gasol, Marion, and Dragic also stepped onto the court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fine wine and delicacies are ready.

Now, let us witness together...

The birth of the 08/09 NBA champion!"

……

ps: Is this cursed? Does it mean that I jinxed my Turtle, and my Turtle really erupted to slap me in the face? Tsk! From tomorrow until the end of the month, a minimum of 10,000 words per day will officially begin! Muah!
