All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

On June 25, in Charlotte, when David Stern appeared on the podium on time, he was booed even louder than last year.

Because the NBA is about to suspend, this year's draft was specially arranged by the league to be held in Charlotte, a relatively quiet city.

But......

Before Ewing said that idiotic remark, in the eyes of the fans, they had to do something to help the players!

As for boos, Stern has long been used to it.

Hush, anyway, even if your throats are broken by shushing, I am still a CEO who has no feelings.

"Tim...Duncan."

At the draft, as McGrady's family and friends, Su Feng and Kobe were sitting not too far away from Duncan's table.

Look, Duncan, who has the same clean and crisp haircut as himself and is wearing a khaki suit, is sitting there blankly.

And every now and then, Duncan would scratch his head.

Under that seemingly calm face, 21-year-old Duncan was actually a little nervous.

At this moment, he is really just a "rookie".

Therefore, when he noticed that Su Feng was looking at him, Duncan gave Su Feng an "evil" smile.

"Quick, Kobe, punch me!"

Su Feng, who was about to fall on the ground unable to hold back his laughter, hurriedly asked Kobe for help.

How could Su Feng, who had become a "phenomenon", let his personality collapse this night?

boom--!

As for Su Feng's request, Kobe didn't want to refuse.

"Do you need another punch?" After punching Su Feng, Kobe, who was still not satisfied, added.

"Enough...enough!"

Holding her stomach, Su Feng said with a blushing face.

Do you know what it feels like to be punched hard in the stomach?

Even if Iron Man doesn't care anymore, Su Feng still has weaknesses!

After about 5 minutes, Su Feng regained his breath.

At this time, on the podium, Stern had already opened the envelope of the New Jersey Nets, who had won the No. 1 pick.

"The New Jersey Nets, who have the first round and first overall pick, selected a player from Wake Forest University...

——Tim Duncan! "

There are no surprises and no suspense.

In Su Feng's view, unless the general manager of the Nets wants to be sent to a mental hospital, Duncan will be the number one pick this year no matter how many times he is selected.

“Nets?

According to the progress of history, if the Nets recruit Kidd in the future, the Nets will be a really difficult opponent. "Su Feng thought silently.

But in this case, little Duncan, you will have to live in the shadow of senior Su Feng from now on!

Looking at Duncan wearing a Nets hat, Su Feng felt a little "happy".

Because in Su Feng's view, Duncan's troubles after joining the Nets are troubles, but in this life, Duncan's first few seasons of career will definitely be limited by the Nets' CBA teammates and the young genius Calipari.

And just when Su Feng felt "sad" for Duncan, Stern also announced the Celtics' draft results.

The Celtics used their second pick to select "Bird's successor"...

Keith Van Horn.

Van Horn was particularly happy wearing a Green Army hat. In his mind, he had already made up the picture of himself playing under Auerbach in advance.

Especially when he saw that the Celtics' frontline combat room was cheering for "selecting him", Van Horn even wanted to yell:

Labor and capital are green soldiers in life, and the soul of green soldiers in death!

"After the deal is done... give me a call to Keith's agent."

In Boston, Auerbach, who did not go to the front line, looked at Miller Carr sitting next to him and said.

"No matter what our purpose is, this child is innocent."

Auerbach added, noting Carl's confused expression.

"Miller, remember... in this alliance, you can use intrigues and tricks, and you can use unscrupulous means.

But the greatness of the Celtics is built on the players who are willing to pay for the Celtics.

Therefore, Keith can be considered our child and I will personally apologize to him. "

Patting Miller Carr on the shoulder, Auerbach at this moment was like a king, explaining something to his successor...

"Teacher..." Karl choked, and in a daze, an unspeakable emotion suddenly rushed into Karl's heart.

Back in Charlotte, the San Antonio Spurs selected Chauncey Billups with their third pick.

In fact, as early as the draft results came out, Popovich was trying to find the Nets for a trade.

However, the answer he got was without exception:

Want Duncan?

Then you can exchange it for Su Feng.

Obviously, trading Su Feng was just a way for the Nets to frustrate the Spurs.

After all, who doesn't know that Su Feng can replace most of the star players in this league?

The helpless Popovich didn't want to give up, so he actually asked the 76ers...

How can I get Su Feng?

Then, his mentor Larry Brown told him with a smile, do you want Su Feng?

Then you can trade it with Duncan!

Popovich: "..."

No, you guys are working together to play with me, right?

I'm so... my mentality is broken!

Popovich was so anxious that he couldn't eat for several days.

It wasn't until he saw the Celtics who were suffering from the same problem that Popovich felt better.

Forget it, maybe...

The Nets have this destiny...

Bar?

The draft continues.

With the fourth pick in the first round, the Grizzlies selected Antonio Daniels, a defensive back with good skills.

With the fifth pick in the first round, the Nuggets selected Tony Barty, an inside player who is good at high jump shots.

The sixth pick in the first round was different from what Su Feng remembered. The Celtics used this pick to select Tim Thomas.

This is a talented forward who participated in the McDonald's High School All-Star Game with Su Feng and Kobe. He has outstanding physical fitness and is good at floating.

In Su Feng's previous life, Thomas would have been traded by the 76ers for Van Horn, but in this life, he was selected by the Green Army.

Van Horn + Thomas…

Tsk, in Su Feng's opinion, the Celtics' interior defense will not be very good next season.

There's nothing you can do about eating and sleeping against the Green Army. Now, aren't the Celtics just being bullied by others?

Next, with the seventh pick in the first round, the Raptors who received this pick in this life were just as Su Feng guessed. After having signed John Davis, what were the thoughts of Davis and the team's front office staff? It was an instant hit.

The Raptors, using this pick, selected Tracy McGrady.

"Now, my pick is higher than both of you." The moment he put on the Raptors hat, McGrady said to Kobe and Su Feng with a smile.

Su Feng and Kobe: "..."

There is one thing to say, if it was not to give McGrady face, then Su Feng and Kobe really wanted to jump up and give McGrady a kick.

‘Practice well in Toronto, Tracy. My decision in the future depends on whether you can play my Pippen! ' Looking at McGrady walking up to the podium, Su Feng thought jokingly in his heart.

After McGrady was selected, there was nothing exciting to watch in the 1997 draft.

Kevin Cato was selected with the 15th pick in the first round by the Mavericks in a trade. This guy is a good human shield. Su Feng had assisted Dayao in his previous life.

The 76ers selected Scott Pollard with the 16th pick in the first round, who is also a meat shield insider.

In the second round, "Martial Saint" Jackson, one of Su Feng's future Pippens, was selected by the Suns just like Su Feng remembered.

The reason why Jackson fell so low in the draft has something to do with his character.

Most NBA teams were scared away once they saw his tainted resume.

In fact, in terms of talent alone, Jackson is the best outside player in this class except McGrady.

He performed a gliding dunk one step ahead of the free throw line in high school.

Jackson, who has outstanding strength and jumping ability, was destined to miss the NBA before he experienced his overseas wandering.

To be honest, compared to 1996, if Duncan and Tracy McGrady were not there to support the field, the quality of this year's rookies would indeed be quite average.

The 76ers selected a player in the second round whose name Su Feng couldn't even remember. If Su Feng's guess is correct, I'm afraid the two rookies the 76ers selected this year...

They are all used for trading.

On the 25th, after the draft, McGrady was going to Toronto to look at houses.

Su Feng advised him not to spend money recklessly. After all, McGrady will also be someone who doesn't know how to manage money in the future.

"Su, what kind of coach is John Davis?" Before leaving, McGrady asked Su Feng for advice.

"In my opinion, John Davis is as good a coach as Phil Jackson." Su Feng said after thinking for a while.

In Su Feng's previous life, Maddie's jealousy was also the key to restricting Maddie from going further.

In this life, after being enlightened by himself two years ago, and meeting a coach like Davis in his rookie season, in Su Feng's view, McGrady's achievements...

I can't say I can get to a higher level.

According to the agreement of the three iron kings, McGrady will fly to Philadelphia after signing with the Raptors, and then go to China with Su Feng and Kobe.

Su Feng was very curious, what kind of story would happen if Brother Tracy met Xiao Yao now?

In short, the 1997 draft has changed a lot compared to Su Feng's previous life, but in the future, he does not have to worry about the Spurs, a difficult opponent. In Su Feng's view, it is also a great blessing.

Look, everyone in the sky is helping Su Feng to dismantle the spurs.

The cornerstone of Duncan was directly removed. In Su Feng's view, even Popovich couldn't play with it.

‘Wait until I touch your head and kill you! Duncan! ’

That day, on the plane back to Philadelphia, Su Feng slept so soundly, but after the plane landed, he was so angry that he wanted to slap himself...

…

boom--!

On the morning of the 26th, I was waiting for Su Feng to cook Kobe...

I'm almost dying.

No, brother, can you fry the steak first?

Ever since he watched the news in the morning, Kobe didn't know why Su Feng had been pacing back and forth at home, smashing things and jars.

Could it be that the 76ers' transaction dissatisfied Su Feng?

But in Kobe's view, there is nothing wrong with the 76ers trading two rookies for Eric Snow...

When he was playing with the SuperSonics last season, Kobe played against Snow. At that time, he thought Snow's defense was pretty good.

"Su...does he have a grudge against Eric?" Kobe silently thought to himself.

Well, if that's the case, then from Kobe's point of view, he'd better make a takeaway call quickly.

Otherwise, with Su Feng's careless character, in what year and month can he be able to afford this meal?

crazy!

Su Feng felt that this world was really crazy.

Because the Nets and Celtics have officially completed the transaction.

Tim Duncan will be sent to Boston, while the Nets will get Van Horn and Thomas Gavock.

Tim Duncan of the Nets is not terrible...

After all, the Nets' front office staff has limited IQ. Even if they can form Kidd + Duncan in the future, they will have to wait for several years...

But in this era, Duncan of the Celtics is even scarier than Duncan of the Spurs!

Do you know how exaggerated this guy's speed was before Duncan was seriously injured?

In the 1998/99 season, when the Spurs won the championship, under the siege of Duncan and Robinson, even O'Neal could only be helpless and furious.

Even in the playoffs of the 1999/00 season, many people believed that if Duncan was not seriously injured, whether OK would be able to survive the Spurs is another matter.

Do you believe that in Su Feng's previous life, starting from the 98/99 season to the 06/07 season, except for the Pistons inserted in the middle, O'Neal and Duncan won 8 championships in these 9 seasons.

The Celtics traded for Duncan, and then Auerbach will definitely come out.

Once Auerbach comes out, the Celtics' turbulent period will not occur.

Although it is unlikely that the Celtics will form a stronger team than the Spurs during Su Feng's previous life in a short period of time,...

Is the Celtics' rebuilding speed comparable to that of the Nets?

Why doesn't Stern want to see the combination of Auerbach + Duncan?

because......

As long as the Celtics can gather the chips, Auerbach's disciples will give the green light to the Celtics.

After the Celtics complete their formation, they will inevitably become Su Feng's biggest worry in the future.

In Su Feng's previous life, because Duncan and O'Neill were both in the west, Su Feng could wait for these two to play a round first as long as he stayed in the east. But now...

There are Celtics in the east and Lakers in the west...

In addition, the 03 generation will join the alliance in the near future. For some reason, Su Feng always feels that his previous nickname of "The King" is simply poisonous!

So, is it possible that what I got is really the script of my successor?

In Su Feng's previous life, James was forced to make a decision. The big reason was because the two kings, the Celtics and the Lakers, beat James so hard that he couldn't see the future...

Try to think about it, in the next few years, there will be guardian bosses on both sides of the east and west...

And in this life, there is a high probability that Jordan will not retire.

Kill Duncan by touching his head, dunk a shark?

Maybe, in this life, I might actually be told by these two people, "The future is yours."

The only thing Su Feng can be thankful for now is that the 76ers have a very strong lineup next season.

Because from the fact that Brown got Snow, Su Feng knew that it meant that this guy didn't regard himself as Prince.

Different from Su Feng's previous life, in this life, Brown got Snow in advance just to liberate "Ai Feng".

Move Iverson to shooting guard and let Snow fill in for Iverson. At the same time, Su Feng can fully display his defensive talents and save some energy for offense.

To put it bluntly, Brown still has something on defense.

Therefore, in the short term, Su Feng's living environment is not bad, and he may even have a chance to kill a god again.

Because after getting Snow, the 76ers' defensive level...

It's on another level.

It's just that in the long run, playing under Brown really has no future.

So Su Feng had made up his mind. This time he decided to start the eighth step of the fifth plan of the Wandering Blacksmithing Plan.

Based on Auerbach's past operations, Su Feng estimates...

By the 99/00 season at the latest and the 98/99 season at the earliest, the Celtics will have a lineup that can rival the Lakers OK in Su Feng's previous life.

"It turns out that in 1999, I was enhanced to the epic level. Are you waiting for me here?"

Although it was still Su Feng's own guess, he always felt that there was a big hand in the dark that had set up a far grander and more spectacular stage for him than in his previous life.

It's not like Su Feng has never thought about "turning enemies into friends" with one of Duncan and O'Neal.

But if you know how the NBA is played now, then you know that unless Su Feng can do it without Bi Lian and only get the basic salary, otherwise...

He is destined to compete with these two people in the Imperial City in the future.

First of all, in Su Feng's wandering plan, it is impossible for the Celtics to replace him.

Because Brown is not really an idiot. Now that the Celtics have completed the big deal of trading Duncan, in addition to relying on Auerbach's connections to rob, they also have a hammer.

The 76ers' uniform team is not from the Green Army. In terms of their trading value, the 76ers will never trade themselves unless they have truly equivalent bargaining chips.

As for after the rookie contract ends?

Wake up...by the time Su Feng's rookie contract ends, the Celtics may have already completed their reconstruction.

Su Feng would not do stupid things like lowering his reputation or reducing his salary to join.

"So, Jordan defeated the "four major centers". Therefore, if I want to become a god, do I have to pass the Buddha Shark level first?" Su Feng silently raised his head and asked Heaven.

Su Feng decided to wait two days to go find Iverson. In any case, the homeless blacksmithing plan was something in the future. He had to urge Iverson to study hard this summer.

Because if Su Feng remembers correctly, in his previous life, this summer, Iverson would be buried in a sinkhole by his friends...

At that time, Iverson would be found by the police to be hiding guns and drugs.

This matter will have a huge negative impact on Iverson. Throughout the summer, Iverson will have no time to train because he is too busy solving this matter.

It wasn't until February of the new season that Iverson gradually regained his game form.

Before returning to China, Su Feng decided to give Iverson a warning.

Because next season...it might really be Su Feng who has the best chance to win the championship in the next ten years.

Being picked off by Brown was no big deal in Su Feng's eyes, because if he wanted to win the championship, this guy would have to lick himself and fight Iverson.

Moreover, Su Feng has prepared many "traps" for Brown, just waiting for Brown to jump into them on his own.

One is black and the other is black. In this era of defensive competition, the defensive ability of Ratliff, Big Ben, and Snooga's own lineup is outrageous...

The Pistons' defense in the future may not be able to match this lineup.

So, again, the same sentence...

Su Feng must increase strength training next.

Otherwise, this future would be too terrifying.

…

In New York, Stern was devastated when he learned that the Celtics had traded away Duncan.

The chips the Celtics offered were impeccable, and unlike the time when Stern halted Paul's trade in the future, the Hornets were under league trusteeship.

To put it bluntly, Stern can't use basketball reasons to stop this kind of consensual thing.

The whole of Boston suddenly fell into a carnival.

because......

Auerbach is back!

Only by experiencing the Green Terror can you understand Stern's mood at this moment.

No...Arnold, didn't you say you were going to die a few days ago?

Is there anyone like you who would curse yourself for a rookie?

But in fact...

What Stern doesn't know is how distressed he is at this moment, and how happy he will be a few years from now.

Because Su Feng pushed OK to break up in his previous life, Stern was also one of the masterminds behind it.

But in this life, when OK has opponents, the Lakers and Celtics, the fateful old enemies, are enough to support the basketball market after Jordan retires...

What's more, Stern and Su Feng?

Destiny is so interesting.

When you think the world will end next, fate will turn around and tell you that tomorrow will be sunny.

When Duncan arrived in Boston, he saw Auerbach holding a plate.

On this plate was a piece of Duncan's favorite carrot cake.

"Tim, the Celtics are your team now." Auerbach patted Duncan on the shoulder and said.

Somewhat flattered, Duncan touched his head.

Next, Auerbach also told him that he had asked Bill Sharman to free up the No. 21 jersey for Duncan.

Duncan, who has a very high emotional intelligence, refused directly when he heard this: "I... can wear other numbers."

"No, Tim, there is no need to wrong yourself, from now on, this is your home.

I heard that you like to play away games with your family, is that true? asked Auerbach, who had investigated Duncan in advance.

Looking at the sincere Auerbach, Duncan couldn't bear to deceive the 80-year-old man, so he nodded.

"No problem, I've already told the staff. Next season, you can invite your friends and family to travel together on the Celtics' special plane." Auerbach said to Duncan with a smile.

"Is this... okay?" Duncan, who was still a true youngster at this time, said in surprise.

"Of course, don't worry, no one in the Celtics will treat you as a rookie.

Because you...are our legend! "

If you know Auerbach's past, then you know how high the emotional intelligence of this old man was, who was able to lead a group of black players to win the NBA title in the era of white players.

If he had no charisma, how could a proud and arrogant person like Bird cooperate with him in a drama that conceals the truth?

Shortly after Duncan was traded to the Celtics, in an interview, "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell publicly stated:

Duncan's future achievements will definitely be far above him. If Duncan wants to wear his No. 6 jersey, he can just take it off the dome of the arena.

More and more Green Army legends, under Auerbach's instruction, have given their blessings and praises to Duncan.

Before he even plays an NBA game, Tim Duncan is already as famous as any star on the planet.

As for the higher the praise, the worse the fall?

That is impossible.

Because the man who was praised by Auerbach was called Duncan.

In Philadelphia, when seeing the stories of master-disciple love between Auerbach and Duncan, Su Feng always felt like he was being targeted.

Take a look at Duncan's living environment!

There is no need to be in front of or behind the scenes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has Auerbach come out and take care of everything for him.

Thinking about how hard he worked to defeat Jordan to achieve what he has achieved today, if it weren't for Kobe accompanying him, Su Feng was really afraid that he would run to Boston and beat Duncan up.

"Demon Emperor Buddha Shark?"

"In that case..."

"Then just kill them all!"

Self-pity has never been Su Feng's character.

He wasn't even afraid of the "old gangster", so from Su Feng's point of view, why should he be afraid of those mere Duncans and little sharks?

The future is too far away, and Su Feng has always been seizing the day.
