Although several key players in this Mavericks team have made great strides compared to last year

But if they want to overturn the Raptors who Carter returned to his position and Nash recovered from injury on the night of the 2nd, they are obviously a little bit less meaningful.

In the end, in this melee in which the two sides took out RPGs and bombarded them randomly, relying on more experience in Xia Jiba, the Raptors successfully won their first game in 2001.

The final score of the two teams in this game was 113-125.

On the Mavericks' side, he once threw the "tough guy" Barkley to the autistic driver on this night, scoring a team-high 28 points, plus 13 rebounds.

In addition, Bibby "White Devil" and Finley "Jordan of the Slums" also scored 19 and 20 points respectively.

And Divac, who was used by the LOGO man to trade the Mavericks' No. 8 pick, contributed 10 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists with "Kidd-style" data.

As for the Raptors

Compared to Carter, who exploded with 33 points and 11 rebounds, and Nash, who dished out 18 points and 14 assists

For Raptors fans, the most surprising thing was for them

I'm afraid it will have to be Su Feng's playing time.

Because even the most devout honey is almost impossible to remember, the last time Su Feng did not play more than 35 minutes in an NBA game was in what year and month.

Look to the sky!

Is this still the same Su Feng who doesn't stop for a minute?

Collapsed

On the night of the 2nd, Su Feng's character of "Iron Man" collapsed in an instant.

After the game, in an interview, Davis also said that the reason why he chose to reduce Su Feng's playing time was not because Su Feng was injured or in poor condition.

It's just that considering that Su Feng is also a human, he temporarily threw Su Feng into the "nutrition cabin".

"Everybody seems to be concerned about my playing time.

But you also have to know that even 'Iron Man' needs to change parts and upgrade equipment. ”

And after the game, at the press conference, looking at the reporters present, Su Feng also said in a self-mocking tone.

It's just that I don't know if it's because Su Feng lied too much before, which led to people's lack of trust in him.

The next day, a roadside news agency from New York exposed photos of Su Feng and Britney meeting in Boston.

On the Internet, more and more fans began to think that Su Feng's poor form recently was 100% because he overdrew his body off the court.

outcome

When he was resting on the 3rd and 4th, Su Feng even received a call from Comrade Su Weiguo across the ocean.

On the phone, Su Weiguo taught Su Feng how men should take care of their bodies.

At the end of the call, the lovely old father even reminded Su Feng earnestly: "Young man, you must know how to control it!" Otherwise, when you are old, you will suffer!

And don't think that you can feed a woman, trust your father, in this world there are only ploughed oxen, not ploughed land! ”

Look, what a painful comprehension Su Weiguo has to have to make such a "warning" to Su Feng?

Absolutely.

Judging from the general thinking of the rabbit family at this time in 2000, in Su Feng's view, Su Weiguo's "teaching" to himself is definitely at the forefront of the times.

However.

Su Feng always felt that he had been misunderstood by his old father again.

Because the biggest difference from previous years to January is that this year, Su Feng obviously feels the importance of resting in the summer.

And this also made Su Feng feel even more distressed about the Yao Ming in his original time and space.

Because, at that time, the one who crushed the little giant.

How many straws do you have?

……

Well, although Su Feng refuted the false news of the New York tabloid on the afternoon of the 4th

But as more and more photos of his private meeting with Britney have been exposed, people on the Internet have begun to firmly believe that it is only a matter of time before the top traffic combination between China and the United States is reunited.

And now, it can make Stern, who is in New York wondering how to serve water, to the amusement.

No

You said that Su Feng fell in love, what does it have to do with him as an NBA president?

Alas.

The relationship between the inside is too big.

Do you know why when Madonna was dating Rodman, Pippen and others, Stern not only didn't come forward to stop it, but even guided the media to increase the intensity of news coverage behind the scenes?

The reason is simple.

That's the news that Rodman and Pippen slept with Madonna, which can indirectly or directly help the NBA drain.

At the same time, such news can also make a bunch of American middle and high school students who fool around in society all day long feel the "power of example".

Look, as long as you play well, maybe you will have a chance to soak in the national goddess of the United States in the future?

You know, because the beautiful country and the rabbit family have completely different views, so many rabbits may not be able to understand the thinking of the bald eagles, but this does not mean that Stern does not understand the thoughts of these "young eagles".

And Jie, is also the reason why Stern was almost not by Durant in the future.

Because where could Stern have thought that even after being worth hundreds of millions, Durant only wanted to be an obscene contractor?

"David, now that the call for Sue to be elected as this year's MVP has become louder and louder, do we want to change our previous plans?"

And on this day, in Stern's president's office, looking at Stern, who was only dancing with his hands, Stern's successor Mark also asked him.

"There is no conflict between not giving him a yard and not rating him as the MVP of the regular season." As an emotionless water machine, patting Mark on the shoulder, Stern said earnestly.

"This" looked at the scheming Stern, and Mark felt a little confused.

Because he still can't figure it out, since Stern likes Su Feng so much, why doesn't he plan to take advantage of Su Feng's momentum this season to put Su Feng on the altar in one go?

Alas.

Actually, to put it bluntly.

It was precisely because Stern liked Su Feng that he didn't want to make Su Feng a short-term investment.

First of all, on the bright stage of the NBA, if there are not enough opponents, then even if Su Feng conquers this era, how much prestige bonus will he be able to get at that time?

In Su Feng's previous life, such an example will happen in world football in the future.

Since 10 years of World Footballer of the Year has not been awarded to the player of the team that won the World Cup according to tradition, it seems that the next ten years of Mero will be very good, but after that, how many people will pay attention to the World Footballer of the Year award as before?

As a president who is very good at star-making, Stern knows very well that making Su Feng a god too early will only make the NBA's attention lack of suspense due to monopoly.

Therefore, don't look at the current Internet, there are many American fans who are very happy, but in fact, when the NBA ratings really decline due to the lack of suspense in the future, Stern believes that it will be 100% of the people who will come out to spray the league's top management.

In Stern's philosophy of praise, honors are never given to someone because they need to be fair, open, and just.

But when someone needs this honor, you have to put this honor in front of him as soon as possible.

For example, Jordan, who has achieved three consecutive regular season MVP achievements in this life.

For another example, in the 98/99 season, when the NBA needed a new god to replace Jordan, Stern could not hesitate to let Su Feng, who was only 20 years old at the time, be elected MVP.

Just like in Su Feng's previous life, when Duncan became famous, even if he didn't need DPOY, he was still DPOY in people's minds.

Compared with making Su Feng three consecutive MVPs, in Stern's view, in this era of a hundred flowers, what the league needs to do more is to increase investment in other stars.

Of course

On this day, Mark's last question also stopped Stern.

"So what if David is a latecomer to the Raptors this season and regains the No. 1 position in the league?"

"Then it can only be said that everyone else is mud and can't support the wall." Looking at Mark, Stern replied after pondering.

……

In January, it was not known what drugs Carter and Nash were taking

Anyway, Su Feng felt quite outrageous.

Because can you believe that in the whole of January, with Su Feng averaging only 36 minutes per game, the Raptors only lost one game?

Before being cut off by Xiao Yao and Iverson in late January, counting last year, the Raptors even played a wave of 15 consecutive wins for a long time.

In the standings, they soared all the way, rushing to second place in the East and third place in the league after January.

In addition, the Lakers and Celtics, who are the first and second in the league, are currently only 2.5 and 1.5 wins away from the league.

And in the words of online Raptors fans

Tremble, Alliance!

Your long-awaited dragon has awakened!

In January, as the Raptors' leading leader, Carter averaged 24.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.

He shot 54.7 percent from the field, 41.4 percent from three-point range and 83.5 percent from the free-throw line.

As for Nash, after returning from injury, this son of the Canadian wind directly turned on the assist king mode.

In January, in addition to averaging 17.8 points per game, Nash was averaging 13.5 assists per game.

At present, on the assist king list, thanks to the assists of Kobe and O'Neal, Nash has successfully overtaken Kidd and Stockton and sat on the first place.

Moreover, just like what Nash said when he complained about Su Feng before

Is the "180 Club" really that hard to get into?

Anyway, in January, in the eyes of Nash, who easily played "50+40+90", entering the "180 Club" was as easy as going home.

And under the double attack of Carter and Nash, the two "DPOY", in January, Su Feng was also successfully "prevented" to death by these two people.

If it weren't for the solid foundation that had been laid earlier

In this season's scoring per game list, Su Feng can still lead the league with an average of 32.1 points per game after January.

Seriously.

As far as Nash and Carter are concerned, Su Feng really doesn't want to rest for a minute.

If Carter and Nash's state can continue to the playoffs, then in Su Feng's opinion, the probability that the Raptors will be able to establish a dynasty this season has exceeded at least sixty percent.

And throughout January, the only thing that made Raptors supporters feel more sad was O'Neal Jr.'s relapse in injury.

Maybe it's because Nash has played like a god every game since his comeback

As a result, O'Neal Jr., who had also made rapid progress in the summer, suffered an avulsion fracture at the base of his fifth metatarsal during a recovery session in order to be able to catch up with the team's next game.

And now, in Su Feng's view, the Raptors must be mentally prepared that O'Neal Jr. will miss all the next games of the Raptors.

Because O'Neal Jr.'s injury this time is the same injury that Iverson suffered last year.

Alias:

———— Jones fractured.

In theory, a Jones fracture isn't the kind of injury that could destroy a professional player.

But the bad thing is that if this injury is not treated carefully, it can easily plant a time bomb for the player's future career.

Therefore, out of consideration for the career of this iron-blooded bubble dragon, the day after O'Neill Jr. had an MRI, Su Feng led his teammates to visit him in the hospital.

And Su Feng's prediction of the probability of the Raptors establishing a dynasty after the end of January was also calculated after counting O'Neal Jr.'s injury.

In professional sports, why is it said that it is not difficult to win a championship, but it is difficult to defend a title, and it is even more difficult to build a dynasty?

Because in the last two years, do you know how many games the Raptors players have played?

You know, being a championship team in the NBA often means that the players of that team have to play from October of one year to June of the following year.

In addition, some players in the Raptors still have to take on the task of playing the national team, so people like Su Feng, Carter, Nash and others, in the entire 2000 year, have played professional games that have long exceeded the load that ordinary professional players need to bear.

In Su Feng's previous life, many teams did not want to compete for the championship after winning the championship because of the lack of subjective initiative.

And it is precisely because after winning the championship, because of the taste of the championship, that these teams often have a large number of injuries to players in the second and third years of competition.

To put it bluntly, the Raptors' luck is among the best of any team trying to build a dynasty.

Otherwise, how could their road to defending their title be so smooth last year?

Therefore, instead of expecting O'Neal Jr. to return in the second half of the season, in Su Feng's view, the first thing the Raptors need to do next is to find a way to ensure the health of their current core players.

"Huh? Downgrading my playing time?

That's not necessary, don't worry, Sue, I'm not that kind of glass person, I'm very durable. On this day, after visiting little O'Neill from the hospital, Carter said to Su Feng with a confident face.

And the words

Although Su Feng knew that Carter's future career would be long

But in the Raptors, there were major injuries at the beginning of their careers

Looks like that's it, right?

"I don't need to rest because I've been resting long enough."

And at this time, Nash, who was already determined to attack the throne of the assist king, also said to Su Feng.

Get.

At this moment, looking at the radiant Carter, Nash and the others, Su Feng really didn't know whether to be happy or worried about them.

Because

The reason why this group of people can become legends in their memories is not because of the blood flowing in their bones?

Take the future Leonard, for example.

Even if technically, he has become a card frame version of Jordan, but in the minds of many fans, when ranking the historical seats, how many people will rank him in the top ten in history, or even the top 20 in history?

Therefore, now that Carter and Nash have made up their minds, in Su Feng's opinion, he can only sacrifice his ultimate ultimate move again.

February 1.

In the Raptors' visit to Minnesota, the second quarter of the game was when Wolves coach Philip Sanders tried to steal a wave of Raptors' homes by killing Garnett

In front of the technical table, it was no one else who led the Raptors off the bench.

It was Su Feng himself.

I'm sorry.

Your king has rested enough.

Right now

The Raptors have officially entered the """!

NBA Headquarters, Olympic Tower, New York.

David Stern has never been more hesitant than he has been this year.

Because when the "dragon king raised his head", for a moment, Stern didn't know how to serve the water in his hand.

At this moment

For Stern, he looked forward to the most.

I'm afraid it's Tim Duncan and Shaq O'Neal who can do it better.

otherwise

"Seriously, monsters like Michael and Sue are really happy and worried." On this day, looking at Mark, Stern said meaningfully.

It will be some time before Stern's script is revealed.

On the evening of the 1st, with "only" 37 points, Su Feng successfully led the team to win the team's first game in February.

On the 2nd, the NBA officially announced the NBA's Player of the Month, Rookie of the Month and the East and West starters of this year's Washington All-Star Game in January.

In January, although the Raptors played the league's best record, because Su Feng's personal performance declined, he led the team to only lose 3 games in January, and Duncan, who averaged 25.8 points, 13.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game, successfully won the favor of the judges and was elected NBA Player of the Month in January.

The NBA's Rookie of the Month award in January continued to be won by Xiao Yao.

So far this season, Yao is averaging 15.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.4 assists per game.

In this life, when he entered the NBA two years ahead of schedule, due to Su Feng's careful feeding, Xiao Yao's performance in this season has even greatly exceeded the expectations of American experts.

And in the country

Emmmm！

Don't mind, there are some rabbits that even Su Feng can complain, so the young Xiaoyao naturally won't take those remarks that ridicule him for playing in the NBA only because of his height.

And compared to the awards in January.

There is a saying that the rabbits have the power to unite.

That's really a hundred million points of fear.

Don't blow it up, don't blow it up, in this life, O'Neill must be glad that Yao Ming was chosen by the Philadelphia gang.

Otherwise, after his vote, only Yao Ming got sixty percent of the votes, why didn't he give Yao Ming a substitute?

Oh, you say there are many Chinese?

That person is powerful, and if you don't accept your beautiful country, you can't give birth?

It is worth mentioning that with the development of the Internet, after the end of this year's all-star fourth phase of voting, Su Feng also refreshed the all-star vote king record again.

In this year's All-Star Voting, Su Feng received a total of 3.65 million votes.

Carter followed with a total of 2.45 million votes.

Yao Ming received 1.75 million votes, and his number of votes also set a record for a center player.

Iverson received 1.65 million votes, the fourth-highest vote total.

So far, the "Toronto Twins" and the "Philadelphia Tall and Short Combination" have also successfully occupied the top four All-Star votes this year.

The 2001 Eastern Conference All-Star starters are as follows:

Yao Ming, Duncan, Su Feng, Carter, Iverson.

As for the west

If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's successful rescue, it would be really possible that the top five players would all be from the East in this year's All-Star voting session.

The 2001 Western Conference All-Star starters are as follows:

O'Neal, Garnett, Hill, Maddy, Kobe.

However, due to Maddie and Hill's flight to the west last year, the outside players in the West are miserable.

Because in the absence of major injuries, Hill's popularity is still the same, and as Su Feng's deputy in the past, Maddie also overtook Kidd in this year's voting session.

And according to a person familiar with the matter from Los Angeles, after the results of this year's All-Star voting were released, Kidd has fallen into a state of autism.

After all, as the active recognized No. 1 point guard in the league

In the past month, Kidd has not only experienced being overtaken by Nash in the assist charts.

In addition, in the All-Star voting round, he was not even a starter.

You say this is if the Lakers don't win a championship this year.

Wouldn't he have to go through a big void?

And unlike the emotional Kidd, Daben, who was robbed of the All-Star starting center position by Xiao Yao, seems very calm.

Because

After the final votes were released, I don't know why, anyway, I just think the weather in Toronto has been very good recently.

"Brother Feng, how should this All-Star Game be played?"

And on this day, after learning that he had become the starting center of the Eastern Star Team, Yao Ming also dialed Su Feng's phone as soon as possible, ready to come to learn something.

As a result, after thinking for a while, Su Feng, who noticed that the starting five tigers of the Eastern Star Team this year were all his own people, suddenly had a bold idea

"Obviously, I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

"Brother Feng, you say it, I'll listen."
