In other words, just when the Raptors successfully advanced to the Eastern Finals, "Cardinal" Auerbach was still thinking about how to get rid of the "criminal" Bird as soon as possible

In the West, as Su Feng expected before, the Lakers were really dragged into a series that made the Lakers feel tormented by the Mavericks.

Although O'Neal's dominance is still unstoppable, in the face of Nelson Sr.'s crazy run-and-gun tactics, Phil Jackson was obviously stunned this time.

With the team leading the Mavericks 2-0, the third and fourth games, the unwary Lakers almost lost the same script in two consecutive games.

I have to say that this year's situation has suddenly become bright for the Raptors.

After returning to Toronto with the team, looking at the "good news" from all over the world, Su Feng couldn't have been more happy in the past two days.

As it turns out, Hell difficulty was never just for him.

Because in this era that has begun to go berserk, no one can keep themselves out of it.

It is worth mentioning that while Su Feng and his teammates were eating melons and patiently waiting for their opponents to fight in the east, on May 15, the results of the draw ceremony for the 2000 draft were officially released.

In Su Feng's previous life, as a famous draft boy in history, the overall quality of the rookies in the 2000 draft was not high.

However, in this life, after Xiaoyao decided to run two years in advance

As this Xiao Yao's Brother Feng, even if the draw ceremony of this year's draft has low attention, Su Feng still cares more about what kind of ranking the teams they aspire to win the championship will get.

however

After watching this year's draft draw ceremony with Xiao Yao in Toronto, Su Feng felt the world's malice towards him

Philadelphia.

If for the past two years, Raptors fans have been the happiest group in the world

In the eyes of the people of Philadelphia, they should be the unluckiest group of people in the world.

Oh, the king who was supposed to lead them to revival is now wearing the No. 23 jersey of the Raptors to fight the Torontonians

Coupled with this season, the only "answer" Iverson that Philadelphia fans were looking forward to was reimbursed for almost the entire season due to injury

Therefore, for a while, the whole Philadelphia this year can be described as cloudy.

The fans who loved the Philadelphia 76ers never had a smile on their faces.

However, on May 15, when Pat Kraus won the jackpot again in New York, it seemed that the people of Philadelphia were in despair at this moment, and they saw a lost hope.

Look, how "fair, open, and just" it is.

Because since the champion lottery in 1996, this year, the Philadelphia 76ers were once again "lucky" to win the champion lottery.

Perhaps, it was "God" who didn't want to see the 76 people who created the Black Eight Miracle four years ago sink here.

Perhaps, it was "God" who felt that the war situation in the east was not tragic enough.

Perhaps, it is "God" who thinks that as a balloon star, the helpers around Aaron Iverson are not enough.

In short, believe it or not, the Philadelphia 76ers were the 2000 No. 1 pick.

"We won't have a second option in the draft.

Four years ago, we selected Su from China with a first-round pick and 13th pick.

And four years later, we will also use this champion lottery to choose Yao from China. ”

On the evening of the 15th, Pat Krauss, who was interviewed on the plane back to Philadelphia, couldn't wait to announce their draft plan in a month to the whole of North America.

And if his interview wasn't fooling, then, in the words of the excited bunnies

The history of Chinese basketball is about to turn a new page in a month.

Because, China will have the first champion player!

And although there are still many experts and reporters in the market, there are still many experts and reporters who believe that the 76ers, who are committed to getting rid of Su Feng's shadow, may not dare to bet on Xiaoyao, who is only 19 years old

But for Su Feng, who has an indissoluble bond with Pat Krauss, he knows very well that Klaus is good at everything

It's a pity that they don't lie.

"Get ready, obviously, from next season, we will be opponents." On this day, patting the young Xiaoyao on the shoulder, Su Feng said earnestly.

And at this moment, Xiao Yao, who felt that he was still living in a dream, touched his head and said, "Brother Feng, this shouldn't be true, right?" ”

Looking at Xiao Yao, who was too young, too simple in Tucson, Su Feng let out a long sigh and said, "I have worked with Pat Kraus for two years, and I know very well who he is. ”

"But Brother Xiufeng, this is too"

Incredible?

Obviously, for the current Xiao Yao, for a while, he still can't accept the reality that he is about to become the champion.

Because in Xiao Yao's view, a popular character like Brother Feng is just the No. 13 show in the first round.

As for Su Feng, he was not surprised that this Xiao Yao could become the champion even if he ran for election two years in advance.

Because of this life, after he took the lead in opening the door, the league's view of Asian players, especially Chinese players, has changed a lot.

In addition, this year is another famous draft year, so in Su Feng's opinion, as long as those scouts are not blind, the chance of Xiao Yao becoming the champion is still very high.

It's just that

Philadelphia 76ers' top pick.

Yao Ming of the Philadelphia 76ers

Hiss!

"I don't know how Alun is recovering, it seems that I have to ask him to come to the special training in the summer."

As the saying goes, only children eat only what is in their own bowl.

As a mature adult, the steady Su Feng knew very well the importance of eating in the bowl and looking at the pot at the same time.

Therefore, while opening the champagne for Xiao Yao in advance, Su Feng, who has always had a long-term vision, has already set his sights on the longer-term future.

There is no doubt that if Iverson can return to his full form next year, he will be paired with Yao Ming

The 76 people

Is it as simple as taking off?

It's even a bad thing to say

If Xiao Yao's growth rate can be faster, then I am afraid that the Raptors may not be able to wait for the Celtics to learn from them in the Eastern Conference in the future.

"Brother Feng, is it necessary for me to go to other teams for a tryout?" Looking at Su Feng, who had a solemn expression, Xiao Yao, who didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while, asked.

Hearing this, Su Feng thought for a while and said, "Go, why don't you go?" ”

As an old-timer who has been beaten by society, Su Feng knows that no matter how kind a capitalist is, he can't believe all the words he says, so in his opinion, Xiao Yao's next trial plan still has to be carried out according to Duffy's arrangement.

And in this way, Xiao Yao can control his own destiny, instead of leaving his fate to the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Brother Na Feng, in terms of sneaker endorsement"

Looking at Su Feng, who was omniscient and omnipotent, and had become a novice navigation textbook in his mind, Xiao Yao continued to ask.

And listening to Xiao Yao's sincere question, Su Feng patted him on the shoulder and smiled after smiling evilly: "Obviously, have you heard of the phenomenon series?" ”

……

Many years in the future, if you want to ask, when and what month did the prosperity of Chinese basketball begin in the minds of Chinese fans

In Su Feng's opinion, it is probably now.

The year 2000 is destined to be the most important year in the history of Chinese basketball.

Because in this year, Chinese player Su Feng became the youngest player in history to win the regular season for the first time.

In addition, on May 15, 2000, the 76ers who won the jackpot also announced their answers to the world in advance.

It is worth mentioning that although the basketball game of the Sydney Olympics will not start for several months, as early as May 2000, the odds of the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship have been ranked second.

For a while, the happy bunnies have even begun to plan how they will watch the game next season.

There is no doubt that compared with when Su Feng first appeared four years ago, four years later, with the development of the Internet, the huge Chinese market has been completely presented in front of us.

And with the arrival of various sponsors from China, the "God" who is manipulating all this behind the scenes also showed a pleased smile in New York.

It turns out that the road that people have traveled the most is Stern's routine.

In fact, as early as April this year, after the 76ers expressed a strong desire for Yao Ming, Stern had already secretly written the script.

To put it bluntly, how is Pat Krauss's luck against the sky, and he won two champions in four years?

Don't believe it.

In the draft on May 15, 2000, no matter how they were drawn, Pat Kraus and his Philadelphia 76ers would only be able to draw the No. 1 pick.

If you know enough about history, especially the history of Stern after taking over the Union, then you will find that basically behind every classic story, there will be a shadow of Stern behind it.

And the most amazing thing is that it is different from the joke in the future that thinks he has directed a peerless blockbuster

Stern can always return his carefully built stage to the athletes on the field at the most appropriate time.

Whether it's Raul Melion's Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, or the newly rising Kamai Brothers

A diverse alliance is what Stern wants.

Therefore, how could Iverson, as an idol of black civilians in the United States, be forgotten by this little Jewish old man?

As a large city in the eastern United States, Stern knew that desperate Philadelphia needed hope.

As the first American city that rabbits have liked since they learned about it, Philadelphia is precisely the city that favors Yao Ming the most in this year's draft.

So, is there a better script than sending Yao Ming to Philadelphia?

Well, after Pat Kraus spoiled the results of their draft to the nation in advance, the whole rabbit family is now completely immersed in joy.

Look, two years ago, you kicked out a king from China, but now, you are about to welcome a giant from China, if you don't cherish it, then who can blame it?

Tut!

It was just perfect.

Of course, compared to this almost perfect script, Stern is more concerned about the fierce battle in the East and West semifinals.

In the east, the "criminals" still failed to defeat the counterattack on the "mentor" after all.

Relying on Duncan's solid performance in the last two games, the Celtics finally won two consecutive games, eliminated the Pacers with a score of 4-2, and met the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

In the West, young cowboys still need time to settle.

O'Neal, who is desperate for the championship, and Kobe, who is also desperate for the championship, played an unforgettable connection for Lakers fans in the fifth and sixth games, and the Lakers also eliminated the Mavericks with a score of 4-2 and met with the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference finals.

At this point, there are only the last three 7s left in the playoffs that determine the ownership of the king.

Is it the unstoppable, trying to defend the Raptors?

Or are you planning to make a shame and reinvigorate the Lakers this year?

Or the Celtics, who have learned from the past and tried to break the monopoly of the king?

And the Trail Blazers, who are thousands of miles away and led by former No. 1 small forward Pippen?

Toronto, after a week-long break, two days later, May 21, the Raptors will be the first to face the test.

According to the rules, the Eastern Conference Finals are still the 22111 format, with the Raptors playing home and away first.

Before the game, after leading the team to Toronto, Auerbach, the actual coach behind the scenes of the Celtics, expressed his confidence in beating the Raptors in an interview.

Because this year is not only the year for Su Feng and O'Neal to leap into the dragon gate, but also the year for Duncan's fastest growth.

In addition, the growth of Ray Allen and Marbury, as well as the addition of Artey, also gave Auerbach hope of defeating the Raptors.

Of course, in his words, Auerbach also expressed people's dissatisfaction with the excessive attention paid to Su Feng and O'Neill.

Because in the old coach's view, when people are discussing the best players in the league today, they should also discuss Duncan together.

And it seems to make the cardinal a little more sour

On the 21st, at the Toronto Route Center Arena, the Raptors uniform team once again held a coronation ceremony for Su Feng.

Unlike the previous coronation ceremony held in Detroit

This time, Su Feng not only received the Podorov Cup again in the worship of 20,000 fans at the scene, but also Martin's introduction to him on the scene exceeded 10 minutes for the first time.

Now, standing before you is the omitted 10,000 words here

The first person in history in the future, Su Feng!

All in all, after this huge coronation ceremony, the morale of the entire Raptors can be said to be extremely full.

And the same thing, the anger of the opposing Celtics player

It's also full to the extreme.

"Maybe one day, Boston fans will lose faith in the Celtics because we haven't been able to deliver on the promise of being back at the top of the game.

But I guess that's not today.

Maybe one day, we will find that we are still doing nothing after all we have been.

But that wasn't the day either.

Today, the Boston Celtics will fight the Toronto Raptors!

Let's step onto the pitch and tell the Torontonians our wrath! ”

On the Celtic bench, before the start of the game, Celtic coach Millekar looked at his disciples and said.

As a researcher in this league who has studied John Davis for a whole year, after putting aside all kinds of prejudices about Davis from the outside world, I have to say that Carl has indeed grown.

And just when Karl ignited the fighting spirit of the Celtics players through his speech, almost the same scene was playing out on the Raptors' bench

"I have a dream"

Looking at his group of lovely disciples, a generation of legendary coach Davis secretly took out the manuscript he had memorized all night before the players were ready to play.

Then, there is no then.

Because tonight, the Raptors will fight for honor!
