Chapter 418 Tempered by a Thousand Tempers, Iron Ambition (5000 words, ask for a subscription ~ ask for a monthly pass!) )

On December 1, the NBA officially announced the winners of December's Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month.

As a result, the Philadelphia gang emerged as the biggest winner.

In November, Iverson, who averaged 28.8 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game, was chosen by the judges as the NBA's Player of the Month of the first month.

In the first month of the new season in Philadelphia, Iverson not only led the team to a 12-3 record, but also shot 45.4% from the field and 37.8% from three-point range.

Under the tutelage of Rick Carlisle, with Xiao Yao's assistance, Iverson has left the deepest impression on the field this season:

His scoring efficiency has increased since the Brown era.

In Su Feng's previous life, Iverson could have this shooting rate, and it would have to wait until he left the Philadelphia gang and joined the Nuggets.

It's just that there are pros and cons.

Because Carlisle's offensive philosophy is very different from Brown's, those who expect Iverson to compete with Su Feng for the scoring title this season

I'm afraid I'm doomed to disappointment.

In addition to Iverson winning the first month's Player of the Month, Yao Ming also deservedly won the NBA's Rookie of the Month of the first month with an excellent performance of 15.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

The current public opinion generally believes that after experiencing the run-in with the team in the first month, Yao Ming's personal data still has some room for improvement.

In addition, there are too few opponents who can compete with Yao Ming for Rookie of the Year this year, so basically, as long as Yao Ming can stay healthy, he has already booked the Rookie of the Year in advance.

It is worth mentioning that on the 1st and 2nd, because the Raptors were resting, Su Feng also took some time to help the filming team of "Yao Next Year" and recorded a video of his blessings to Xiao Yao.

In the time and space where Su Feng was originally located, as a personal documentary of Yao Ming, "Yao Next Year" recorded in detail all kinds of bitterness of Yao Ming's rookie season.

Among them, before the first Yao shark duel, how O'Neal targeted Yao Ming.

And in this life, after Su Feng helped Xiao Yao carry everything, "Yao Next Year" seems to have become a documentary used to make up for the regrets of Chinese fans.

After all, for the majority of Chinese fans, the Black Eight fairy tale created by Su Feng and Iverson in the 96/97 season is still a topic of conversation.

It's a pity that due to various reasons at that time, and Jordan fans in the United States didn't want to see the appearance of this "Su Feng Year", so when reviewing Su Feng's rookie season, everyone always felt that something was missing.

Therefore, Su Feng is also very curious, with the current state of the Philadelphia gang, and Iverson at the beginning of the century can't be provoked, what will "Yao Next Year" look like in this life?

"The only pity is that Xiao Yao can't be killed."

On this day, after helping Xiao Yao record "Yao Next Year", Su Feng sighed silently.

In fact, whether Jordan fans in the United States want to see it or not, Su Feng has already asked the camera team to start making his personal documentary.

In the past two years, Su Feng has often filmed his daily training materials, in order to provide more classic pictures to these photography teams when filming documentaries in the future.

For example, the famous scenes of beating Jordan, teasing Kobe, abusing Maddie, and capturing Carter with one arm.

To be reasonable, when the production of this documentary is completed, even if the fans of other fans want to hack themselves in the future, they will have to weigh it carefully.

Because

Your idol has been abused by me!

……

In early December, in order to comfort Su Feng, who has been "often losing" recently, Britney, as Su Feng's best friend, also flew to Toronto.

Because in the entire 99/00 season, Su Feng and his Raptors only lost 8 regular season games and 2 playoff games, so in Britney's opinion, Su Feng, who lost four games in the first month, must be in urgent need of her comfort.

thereupon

That's it.

On the 4th, in the home game against the Clippers, Su Feng, who had previously cut 30+ in 15 consecutive games, suddenly "fell off the altar" on this day.

In this game, Su Feng's hand felt as if he had been cursed.

In addition to setting a record of 12 consecutive missed shots in the first half, he even missed four consecutive free throws at the time of free throws, an embarrassing record that should have belonged only to O'Neal.

Fortunately, in the second half of the game, Su Feng adjusted his offensive ideas in time.

Under Nash's crazy feeding of cakes, Su Feng, who turned on the emperor engine, repeatedly chiseled through the inside line of the clipper with Middle East-style breakthroughs.

It's a pity because the first half of the game was too big to dig holes.

So the game won in the end is won.

is the news that "Su Feng is in a very poor state, scoring only 26 points in a single game", which almost became the news headline of major media after the game.

Get.

Su Feng now understands what people's standards for other players and Michael Jordan are.

Because with the 5th, ESPN's timely MVP rankings are released.

Seeing that he was only ranked fourth, Su Feng was just about to blow up ESPN's headquarters with an RPG.

That's it

Because Su Feng knows very well that after he won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, this season, unless he can lead the Raptors to break the record of the best record in history again, Stern will never let him complete the unnatural achievement of three consecutive MVPs.

As for what you said, if Su Feng worked harder on brushing data, would he be able to achieve three consecutive MVPs this season?

Alas.

Big brother, don't you think that Boss Qiao didn't work hard when he brushed the data, right?

However, if it weren't for Su Feng's hacking Jordan's eight back then, Jordan in this life would want to be the MVP three times in a row?

No kidding, just with Su Feng's current age, and there are still so many stars to be fed this season.

Su Feng felt that he was afraid that it would not be enough for him to lead the Raptors to break the record of the best record in history again.

Because, at that time, Su Feng could guess with his toes that the judges would evaluate him for a lack of freshness.

To put it bluntly, in the Stern era, the reason why the regular season MVP did not become a joke as it did later was because Stern formulated an extremely strict review system for him.

It seems that for Su Feng personally, it is very unfair.

But from a macro point of view, from the side, this has also made the previous superstars who were three consecutive MVPs a myth in the minds of fans.

Therefore, this season, Su Feng will not regret the MVP even if he can't get it.

Because he has time in the future to wash away Stern's three views.

……

On the 6th, 8th, and 9th, while patiently waiting for Carter to return, the Raptors also ran into trouble.

In Su Feng's previous life, the teams that have always laughed to the end have a characteristic.

That's health.

Before Su Feng's rebirth and crossing, the most intuitive example was the warriors in the 18/19 season.

You know, before the start of the season, even if you are Leonard's most loyal fan, I am afraid you will not think that the Warriors will not be able to complete the great feat of four championships in five years.

However, because the main core players of the team have been plagued by different injuries one after another during the season, the end of the Warriors can only be described as a thousand miles of misses.

In fact, in the NBA, especially in the real world, it's much harder to create a dynasty than it is written.

Because logic needs to be taken into account while reality.

You don't need any logic.

Take the first two seasons of the Raptors as an example, many people in the market think that they are blessed by Lady Luck.

Because in the past two seasons, the Raptors have arguably the best team in the league in terms of player health.

Although Su Feng's nutrient solution played a certain role in this, you must know that what the nutrient solution can improve is only the physical recovery of Su Feng's teammates.

And, since the nutrient solution can't be used on game days, assuming that the nutrient solution can reduce the injury risk of players from 5% to 4%, the injury risk of other Raptors players will not objectively disappear.

Plainly.

Fate this thing to return to Xuan.

But in sports, you don't have to believe in metaphysics.

Because of a player like James, how many players have appeared in the NBA?

And how many of the future stars you are looking forward to can go all the way to the end and become gods without being troubled by injuries and illnesses?

On the 10th, after defeating the Jazz at home, Nash, the second battlefield opener that Su Feng has been relying on recently, took the lead in striking on the ankle.

Because he sprained his ankle during the game, Nash was expected to rest for at least three to four weeks, according to the team doctor.

And on the 12th, in the team's away game against the Pacers.

Since the beginning of the new season, O'Neal Jr., who is the most brave inside of the Raptors, has also been persuaded by his groin.

After straining his groin, O'Neal Jr. will not be able to return to the court until January at the earliest, according to the optimistic estimates of the Raptors team doctors.

As a result, on the 14th, in the absence of Nash and O'Neal Jr., although the Raptors defeated the Knicks by a large score, on the 15th, in the game with the Bucks, the impact of the star's absence and Maddy's departure began to appear.

In the Raptors' first two seasons, even if Nash doesn't change his style, the Raptors can rely on Maddy's misplaced singles to open up a second battlefield for Su Feng.

But now, relying on Yaric and Elvin Williams alone, they can't do it like Nash and Maddy, opening the court for Su Feng so that Su Feng can play singles to his heart's content.

For the Raptors, it was a fateful season for them to build a dynasty.

Because Jiekater hasn't even recovered his state yet

Su Feng's deputies fell down one by one.

At the critical moment, Barkley, who came to shoot in the summer, once again urgently turned on his "hugging the thighs instead of turning into thighs" passivity.

On the 17th, in the rematch between India City and the Pacers, Barkley, who had played alongside Bird at the Barcelona Olympics in '92, scored a new personal high of 21 points, plus nine rebounds, since the start of the new season.

On the other side, with Barkley helping him ease the offensive pressure, Su Feng also convinced Bird again in this game.

The "Su Pig" combination combined for 63 points on this night.

The Raptors have also managed to halt their recent slump in losing streak.

The good news for Su Feng is that the Raptors will usher in a valuable adjustment period after the new season of games is about to enter the Christmas holiday.

The bad news is that this year, the Raptors will face a wave of devilish schedules around Christmas.

According to the schedule, on the 19th, the Raptors will go to the away game against Philadelphia.

On the 21st, they are going to return to their home court to face the Nets.

In addition, on the 22nd, they had to welcome Maddie's homecoming battle back-to-back.

And on Christmas Day.

They are heading to North Shore Gardens for a rematch against the Celtics this season.

No blowing, no black, since the end of his rookie season, Su Feng has not fought so many tough battles in a row for a long time.

So here's the problem

How is Su Feng himself feeling now?

Do you want to scold your mother?

Still is

"Su, I'm starting to understand you a little bit."

On this day, lying in Su Feng's arms, Britney said while gently stroking Su Feng's handsome cheeks with her hand.

Hearing this, after reviewing the lesson of holding the ball in both hands, Su Feng asked curiously, "Why don't you understand me?" ”

"Because. I've heard that isn't the Raptors in a difficult situation right now?

But why can't I see the slightest anxiety in your face and in your eyes? Britney said puzzled.

Looking at Britney Spears with a confused face, Su Feng was happy.

Anxiety?

Why be anxious?

No

You don't really think everyone thinks I can't afford to lose, do you?

For Su Feng, the Raptors have been in a difficult situation lately, and he will certainly be worried about this.

But anxiety or scolding the mother, in Su Feng's opinion, is not necessary.

Because just as losing is a part of life, losing is also a part of the basketball court.

Su Feng, who has been a man in two lifetimes, did not come to this day in one step.

As early as the time when Raul Meliam was forged by Kobe, Su Feng had already forged a big heart that was as stable as Mount Tai.

Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged.

If you lose, it's a big deal to start all over again.

Well, take a player of O'Neal's level, for example

Until now in this life, O'Neill still doesn't know what a champion is.

But did O'Neill give up?

As the saying goes, it is in the sky that people succeed in things, in Su Feng's opinion, as long as he does not leave regrets for himself, then he will not regret it.

Just like back then, the Black Eight Bulls indirectly helped Atlanta complete a fairy tale journey.

From the moment he chose to enter the NBA, become a big star in the basketball world, and marry Bai Fumei, what Su Feng enjoyed was the process of playing against these stars in the next twenty years.

As for the results?

There may be good, there may be bad, but when this twenty-year career is over, Su Feng believes that he will definitely get valuable wealth that others can't.

Other than that

Isn't life meant to be challenging?

The life of pushing all the way is, in the words of the hypocritical Su Feng.

God has arranged it for him, and he doesn't necessarily want it.

One game, one season?

Is there only tomorrow, today, yesterday, or next year, the year after next?

And again.

Who said that Nash and O'Neal Jr. are out due to injury, and the Raptors will have a hard time next?

Do you know how Su Feng comforted Nash and O'Neal Jr. when they were injured?

"What's the hurry, have a good rest, and wait for me to call you the first in the east and come back."

……

19th, Philadelphia.

For the people of Pennsylvania, every time Su Feng goes home now, it is so heart-wrenching.

Even now that they have Yao Ming.

Even if they have finished second in the East this season.

Even Iverson always makes the fans at Zhongzhou Arena crazy every night.

But

Only Su Feng

It's a memory that every Pennsylvania can't forget.

There is no organization.

Nor did anyone deliberately incite it.

No one thought they would do it before the game started.

However, on the evening of the 19th, when the appearance ceremony, Bob, the new DJ of Zhongzhou Arena, read Su Feng's name

Almost unanimously, in the entire stadium, nearly 20,000 fans rang the deafening sound for Su Feng

Cheers.

“MVP————!!”

“MVP————!!”

“MVP————!!”

See.

Even if Su Feng is only ranked fourth in ESPN's timely MVP rankings this season, so what?

Look at.

Even if the maple blacks write all kinds of things on the Internet, Su Feng has no teammates and is just an ordinary person's joke, so what?

On TNT, Kenny Smith, who saw this, said with emotion: "It's like you don't need to explain to anyone what kind of basketball player Michael Jordan is."

Today, we don't have to explain to others how great Su Feng is. ”

On the bench in Philadelphia.

For the young Xiao Yao, if he said that a month ago, the game in Toronto made him learn a lot from Su Feng.

Today, he once again felt Su Feng's unparalleled appeal and influence.

"He's been the NBA's regular season MVP for the past two years."

At this time, next to Yao Ming, Iverson, who was wearing the same hairband as him, was also standing beside him.

"At the same time, he has also been the NBA Finals MVP for the past two years."

"Awesome, Yao.

This is Sue my brother. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao nodded.

After a pause, Iverson looked back at the other Philadelphia players on the bench and said, "But now, he's our opponent too."

I know it's always going to be tough to play against Sue's team, especially at our home stadium.

But

Just like when Sue and I beat the bulls together, now it's our turn to tell him that this is our territory! ”

At this moment, I don't know why, Xiao Yao always felt that there was a hot blood surging in his chest.

On the big screen, the starting lists of the two teams tonight have been given.

Raptors: Big Ben, Barkley, Su Feng, Carter, Yaric.

Philadelphia: Yao Ming, Ratliff, Christie, Iverson, Snow.

In fact, Su Feng was not the only one who went home on this night.

In the Raptors, when they saw before the game, none of the hometown fathers in Philadelphia were nostalgic for themselves

Barkley was on fire.

"No, why do they all only call Sue's name?

Don't they know that I also shed blood and tears for Philadelphia? ”

On the Raptors' bench, looking at his teammates, Barkley said with a sad and angry face.

After patting Barkley on the shoulder, Su Feng encouraged him: "Turn grief and anger into motivation, Charles." ”

A few minutes later

In the center of the court, Big Ben and Yao Ming jumped the ball to start the game.

Philadelphia had the ball, and Snow was responsible for dribbling through the half.

……

PS: Hey, every time the plot of the new season has just begun to pave the way, all kinds of this don't look at that, don't look at it, this abandoned book, that abandoned book party is here again, in short, it's still that sentence, 20 seasons of huge ideas, if everyone expects Qiao to be able to write perfectly, instead of collapsing halfway through writing, then I suggest everyone still give Qiao more patience. Because if I were to be satisfied with the whims of the readers, the fact would be that the book would probably be over by the time it comes to defeating Jordan.
