Chapter 256: The Savior of Toronto (5200 words, ask for a monthly pass, subscription!) )
As the all-time scoring champion of the Charlotte Hornets, although he is over 34 years old, in Su Feng's opinion, Dell Curry is still one of the most stable pitchers in the league at present.
Su Feng, who knows better than Gruward how much money Raptors owner Chad has in his wallet, how thoughtful was he when he hinted at Davis's reinforcements before?
If Su Feng remembers correctly, according to the original historical trajectory, Curry will sign a one-year short-term contract with the Bucks next season.
Then, in the offseason of the 99/00 season, he will sign a three-year, $6.2 million pension contract with the Raptors.
In Su Feng's previous life, Old Curry's pension contract was definitely one of the most cost-effective deals made by the Raptors uniform team during this period.
Because the experienced old Curry can not only provide firepower output on the court, but even play a certain leadership role in the locker room.
In Su Feng's memory, after the old Curry joined the Raptors, the Raptors made the playoffs for the next three consecutive years, and his eldest son Stephen Curry also formed an indissoluble bond with Carter.
And in this life, although the Raptors have changed a lot, in Su Feng's opinion, Old Curry is more suitable for this Raptors.
After all, if you want to play a good offense, you can't open up space without three-point shooting.
In addition, as a "Humanoid Carter Encyclopedia", Su Feng remembers very well that in Carter's memoirs in the future, Carter once said that the arrival of Dell Curry helped him a lot in shooting at that time.
In the '98/99 season, Carter, who was just starting out in the league, shot just 28.8 percent from three-point range.
However, in the 99/00 season, under the guidance of Curry Sr., Carter's three-point shooting rate quickly rose to more than 40%.
In the 00/01 season, Carter not only maintained a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, but also averaged more than 5 three-point shots per game at that time.
In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why Carter was able to become the most accurate three-point spicy man among the four quarterbacks was that in addition to his reasonable playing style, his fate with old Curry in his early years also helped him avoid a lot of detours.
Although talent in the NBA determines everything, take Su Feng as an example, if it weren't for the careful assistance of Mancias, Fraser and others, how could Su Feng have improved so fast?
Su Feng knows very well that Dell Curry is definitely an expert in shooting.
Because in the future, the reason why Stephen Curry can become a madman is related to the fact that he received training from his old father in the season when he was reimbursed for an ankle sprain.
At that time, taking advantage of that injury, Curry Sr. took a step forward to correct Stephen Curry's shooting posture and helped him practice a fast and unbroken shooting move.
Of course, Curry Sr.'s shooting training methods don't necessarily work for everyone.
But at the very least, his shooting training methods are historically tested and can help Carter.
Therefore, with a player like Dell Curry who can shine on and off the court, and can even accelerate the growth of his Pippen, how could Su Feng miss it?
In Su Feng's opinion, since the purpose of Old Curry's next play has become for the two Little Curries to study, isn't the school district house in Toronto fragrant?
Su Feng knew that the reason why Curry Sr. hesitated for a year before choosing to join the Raptors in his previous life was related to the downturn in the ball market in Toronto and the fact that the Raptors were not welcomed.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Su Feng did not put his expectations on the fact that Gruward could convince Dell Curry.
Because even if the Raptors' offer is higher than that of other teams, Curry Sr. is likely to choose another team over the Raptors.
Therefore, Su Feng had a ...... with Old Curry long before he came to Toronto.
The two sons had a friendly communication.
With a child slave like Dale Curry, do you need to convince him?
As long as he gets Stephen and Seth, how can he choose to do anything other than come to Toronto?
And just like that, after Gruward expressed to Dell Curry that the Raptors wanted him to bring his experience to Toronto, Curry Sr. was stupid......
"Daddy! I misread you, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! ”
Staring at his cute big eyes, Stephen Curry looked at his old father with a look of "disappointment".
And Seth Curry, who decided to join forces with the stupid Ernie sauce this time, bit his old father's arm hard.
"Daddy! You keep saying that you and Uncle 'Melon' are good brothers and good friends.
But now, when he needs your help, you're hiding like a coward in Charlotte, and I'm so disappointed in you! ”
Seth Curry said righteously to his old father.
Dell Curry: "......"
No......
I'm t, are you my son, or his son Su Feng?
Although Old Curry remembered that he seemed to have said that he wanted to repay Su Feng before......
But this time I went to Toronto, and in Curry Sr.'s opinion, if it affected the studies of his two sons because of his own play, it would be worth the loss.
It's just that......
Looking at the two sons who are extremely disappointed in themselves, his old Curry also has a temper, okay?
Who said he Dell Curry was a coward anymore?
Isn't it just going to Toronto to play with Su Feng?
One thing to say, with Su Feng here, Dell Curry really doesn't think going to the Raptors is a bad choice.
And since the general manager of the Raptors has said that this invitation has Su Feng's intention in it, then what happened when he should go to Su Feng to cheer for him?
"I'm naughty, if I go to Toronto to play, you're going to have to change schools.
When the time comes, don't tell me that you don't have any friends to play with you after you transfer. ”
After pondering for a while, Dell Curry touched the heads of the two little Curries and said.
All right......
The elder Curry may not believe it, but long before he made the decision to join the Raptors, the hearts of Stephen Curry and Seth Curry had already drifted to Toronto......
Oh, with Uncle Su Feng's Gundam, how can the two little Curries still look down on Charlotte's bike?
And the old Curry, who made the decision to join the Raptors, how did he know that the decision he made this time would create a story for the ages in the future?
……
In other words, just when Gruward was busy making a good impression on the target players on Davis' recruitment list, on the 26th, the Raptors held a press conference after Su Feng officially joined the team.
Raptors owner Chad Peddy was present to host the press conference, and at the press conference, he excitedly told reporters: "Sue is a two-time NBA All-Star starter.
At the same time, he is also the first Chinese player to play in the NBA, and I am sure that after he joins the Raptors, we will definitely do well under his leadership next season." ”
John Davis added: "I had a wonderful collaboration with Sue in the '96/97 season.
I'm looking forward to seeing us back together and giving the Toronto fans a great game next season." ”
Although Chad and Davis did not say it explicitly, the reporters at the press conference could hear that these two people wanted to help Su Feng establish an image of a big boss in their words.
In the NBA, teams have a long tradition of making their big bosses public.
First, this can make the team more cohesive and centripetal, and second, it is also to facilitate everyone to share the cake in the future when settling honors.
Raptors owner Chad hopes that Su Feng can renew his contract with the Raptors after the end of his rookie contract, so how can he make Su Feng happy, he will come.
As for John Davis.......
If the 76ers asked the Raptors for Maddy or a Raptors draft pick, Davis would not hesitate to agree.
After all, for Davis, who has coached Su Feng, no matter how expensive it is, Su Feng is worth the price.
As for Chad and Davis's hints, Su Feng would not refuse for the so-called brotherhood.
Because he knows very well that not dividing the team's priorities clearly will not only be harmful to him, but also will not be beneficial to Maddie and Carter in this period.
Therefore, as a responsible person", before the press conference began, Su Feng said to the reporters with a smile:
"Now, Toronto Raptors, it's my team!"
And after Su Feng's domineering declaration, at the press conference, some reporters who wanted to provoke trouble began to ask him what he thought of the Raptors.
Don't look at the fact that after Su Feng was traded, public opinion said that the 76ers did not lose, and some said that the 76ers were crazy......
But in the community, both experts and fans, they all agree that after going to the Raptors, it will be difficult for Su Feng to play with the style of the 76ers.
As Stern was worried about before, no matter how good Su Feng's personal data is, as long as the Raptors are at the bottom every year, then at that time, Stern will not be able to praise Su Feng.
No way, the Raptors at this time are a bad team, and at present, this Raptors, in addition to Su Feng, the only two cards are Maddie, a sophomore, and Carter, a rookie.
So, how sinister are these reporters who ask Su Feng about his views on the Raptors?
Because in their opinion, no matter how Su Feng answered, they could pick thorns.
It's just that......
Su Feng, who knows where the limit of this Raptors is, how can he fall for it?
I saw him say word by word: "I think the sky is the limit of this Raptor."
Believe me, next season, if you can't fall in love with basketball after watching the Raptors play, then I don't think basketball has anything to do with you. ”
On the side, when hearing Su Feng's speech, Raptors boss Chad subconsciously came to the English version of the sleep.
Looking at the sky......
Is this the legendary cupping?
Is this the charm of the god-killer who jumped on the tech bench in Chicago and shouted, "I'm going to beat Michael Jordan"?
The reporters at the press conference were collectively petrified.
Because Su Feng is open-mouthed, this is simply Bird's possession, and his words are not shocking!
"Sue, are you too confident in you and this Raptor?"
At the press conference, a reporter asked.
Hearing this, Su Feng thought calmly for a while, and replied seriously: "Actually, I think I may have underestimated this Raptor. ”
Journalists: "......"
Underestimate!?
Do you really know what it means to underestimate?
One thing to say, Su Feng felt that he was too innocent.
Because everything he says is the truth.
With Nash at the helm, plus himself and Kamai, not to mention how the Raptors will do next season......
In Su Feng's opinion, if the Raptors' game scene next season is not good-looking, then in addition to retiring to drive a truck with Jordan, he can't sell meat muffins in this era without social networks, right?
It seems that Su Feng's speech is very prodigal and crazy, but to be reasonable, his speech can no longer be stable.
After all, you've got a pair of kings, four aces, four aces, and four kings, so can you still have 17 cards on the other side?
In New York, Stern, who was also following the press conference, ...... after learning of Su Feng's speech
I don't know why, Stern would love to announce his retirement tomorrow and hand over the current mess to Mark.
In Stern's opinion, Su Feng must be crazy.
"David, I think Sue's bold words are not necessarily a bad thing for us."
On the side, Mark, who could see Stern's thoughts, said to Stern.
And Stern, who felt some pain in his skull, looked at his tool man with a curious expression and motioned for him to continue.
"David, haven't you been worried that Sue will affect his exposure and attention after being traded to the Raptors?
But you see, after his remarks, people didn't even care about labor negotiations.
Now, whether people want to see the excitement or see him in the air, at the very least, people are interested in the Raptors next season, aren't they? Mark said.
Stern nodded, feeling as if his skull didn't hurt so much.
However, after pondering for a while, Stern smiled bitterly: "But if Sue can't do all this he said today, then ......"
"Then his popularity will inevitably suffer, right?" Mark Testern added.
As the so-called concern is chaos, because he cares too much about Su Feng, Stern finds that his judgment seems to have dropped a lot recently.
And after calming down, looking at Mark with a smile on his face, Stern quickly reacted.
Popularity affected?
Where has Su Feng's current popularity been affected?
Even because of this wave of rhetoric, his topic is even higher?
Moreover, after seriously thinking about Su Feng's speech, Stern found that what Su Feng wanted to do next season was not what he had always wanted to do the most?
At the press conference, Su Feng didn't set the flag that he wanted to win a few championships, he just said that the Raptors game next season will be very good.
So here's the problem......
If you want to make the game look good, then the Raptors will inevitably play offensive basketball next season, and offensive basketball is not exactly what Stern has always wanted to advocate?
You must know that in Su Feng's previous life, Nash was able to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, which was directly related to the gorgeous style of the Sun at that time.
So, after some careful consideration, Stern made up his mind.
If the Raptors can really play offensive basketball next season, then this Raptors, he Stern has won it.
……
Although there were no social networks in the 90s, Su Feng's bold remarks at the press conference still exploded throughout North America.
Raptors fans who are used to it, after reading the news report, all regard Su Feng as a savior.
For Su Feng, who has always been steady, in fact, he had made all kinds of preparations long before he spoke.
No one knows better than Su Feng what this Raptors need most at the moment.
talent, this Raptors will not be lacking.
As for strength, for a while, it is not in a hurry, after all, if the players of this Raptors team were at their peak, then the NBA would have come to an end long ago.
To put it bluntly, in Su Feng's opinion, what this Raptors lack most is confidence and fighting spirit.
Therefore, as the leader of this Raptors, if Su Feng is also submissive, then how should this Raptors strike hard next season?
Take a Dota 2 professional player in Su Feng's previous life as an example, it seems that Walnut's sentence "Give me the ghost, don't win the chopping hand" is very cupped, but when he helped him get the ghost, his teammates at that time were not as simple as incentives?
Competitive sports, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if the Raptors still have bastards next season, then it is useless to practice for this Raptors for another two years.
Su Feng, who "the drunkard doesn't mean to drink", seems to be filling a glass, but in fact, what he is planning is much farther than ordinary people see.
And just after Su Feng's "bold words" caused an uproar......
On the 27th, Uncle Nash, the future Stephen Curry, also arrived in Toronto on this day.
As another player that the Raptors acquired through a trade in the draft, Su Feng's "sock brother", Nash did not receive the treatment of holding a press conference.
Upon arrival in Toronto, Nash moved into an apartment that Duffy had arranged for him in advance.
And it is worth mentioning that the apartment where Nash lives is right next door to Su Feng.
Because both of Su Feng's agents are Duffy, this time, Nash was still very happy when he knew that he would become teammates with Su Feng.
After all, for Nash, who is used to biting socks in Phoenix City and is disliked in various ways, not to mention how much he misses the memory of Su Feng when he was tryout in Phoenix City, Su Feng gave him a supplement......
……
On the day Nash arrived in Toronto, Su Feng took Kobe, Big Ben, and Maddie to pick him up.
And when everyone was eating together in the evening, Nash, who recalled his bench years in Phoenix, wanted to cry.
Because two years have passed in a blink of an eye, Su Feng and Kobe Bryant have now become All-Star starters.
I feel like a spicy chicken Nash......
Not to mention comparing with Su Feng and Kobe, in Nash's opinion, even Big Ben, who lost the draft, is now more exciting than himself.
As the saying goes, goods have to be thrown away, people have to die compared to people, after the meal, listening to the nonsense of the other four, Nash was completely melancholy......
On the side, Su Feng, who saw that Nash's mentality was a little fried, touched his head and smiled: "Steve, be confident, next season, you will be our main control." ”
Hearing this, Nash glanced at Su Feng with some surprise.
Master control!?
I'm not dreaming, am I?
"Steve, tell you secretly, don't tell anyone else.
Truth be told, Coach John told me that he took a fancy to your playmaking talents, and in his opinion, you are the best point guard in the entire NBA right now. ”
Su Feng, who knew that Nash was not confident during this period, decided to pull John Davis's tiger skin and conduct a wave of psychological counseling for Nash first.
And Nash, who was stunned by Su Feng, although he didn't believe Su Feng's words a little, he couldn't run to ask John Davis, if what Su Feng said to him was true, right?
So, just like that, this night, after Su Feng continuously bombarded Nash's mental defense line with various John Davis words, Nash even had an urge to die for his confidant for John Davis, who had never met before......
Coach John, I want to play basketball!
