All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

According to the schedule, the Raptors' first game of the new season will start on October 31, and their opening game opponent is the Lakers.

No way...

In the new season, there are too many strong conversations to be arranged, so do you know how "desperate" Stern feels?

ah!

This damn prosperous age!

ah!

Such breathtaking ratings!

ah!

Ah Wei is dead.

After a preseason review and before the official start of the new season, the Raptors also announced the team's fourteen-man roster for the new season.

For the 2000/01 season, the Raptors’ 14-man roster is as follows:

Center: Ben, Marquez, Vladimir Spandinha, Gass Joseph.

Power forward: O'Neal Jr., Barkley, Crone David.

Small forward: Su Feng, Stephen Jackson.

Shooting guards: Carter, Curry Sr., Elvin Williams.

Point guard: Nash, Marko Jaric.

Compared with last season, in the new season, after Bogues retired, Tracy McGrady left the team, and Battelle left the team, the Raptors' lineup changes mainly focused on tool players.

First of all, at the center position, general manager Gruward used the basic salary to sign Spandinha, who is 213 centimeters tall and weighs 107 kilograms, and Joseph, who is "218" tall and weighs 147 kilograms, with basic salary in the summer.

Because the former has good high-post jump shooting skills, Davis was very fond of him when he represented the Raptors in the summer league.

And the latter...

Although it is said to be "218" centimeters, in fact it is only about 211 centimeters, and coupled with the weight of 147 kilograms, Su Feng feels...

This player named Joseph is completely a big ball.

Since Joseph's weight is made up of fat, from the outside, you might even think that he is "stronger" than O'Neal.

However, because his movement speed is so slow, what Davis thought more about signing Joseph was that even if he couldn't hold O'Neal, he could at least scare O'Neal.

Secondly, at the power forward position, the Raptors added two "newcomers" in Krone David and Barkley this year.

The former is an undrafted player. The Raptors signed him mainly because he was particularly good at waving towels when playing in the summer league and was also very diligent in handing out water cups.

The latter is a "bastard player" who wants to come and get a ring.

Finally, I must mention the rookie Yalic.

As an international player born in Belgrade, Serbia, in Su Feng's previous life, the 201-centimeter-tall Jaric had played in the NBA for many years and had a good basket and solid basic skills.

Originally, Yaric, who was the first to be selected by the Clippers in the second round of the 2000 draft, would not land in the NBA until the 2002/03 season. Therefore, after selecting him this year, the Clippers changed hands and signed him. Sold to the Raptors.

However, during this year's Sydney Olympics, because Yalic was convinced by Su Feng, after friendly negotiations between the Raptors and his parent team, and Yalic spent part of his savings to buy him out. Contract with the home team? So this guy was able to enter the NBA early.

As for Yalic, compared to himself, the most famous one is his future wife, Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima.

In Su Feng's previous life, there was a piece of trivia about Yaqi...

In the official game after marrying Lima, Jaric failed to hit 25 consecutive shots.

At that time, people also joked that this great pitcher from Serbia had left his superb shooting skills on the bed.

In short, the arrival of Yalic will be a good addition to the Raptors' point guard line.

Because of his tallness, in some cases, Nash can be prevented from being bullied on the court.

…

On the 28th, because the opening game against the Lakers would be played away from home, after the new Raptors were ready to go, the team went to Los Angeles two days in advance.

And before setting off? After admiring his new ability value interface, Su Feng once again lamented the rationality of the blacksmithing system.

Because after the new NBA rules were updated? In the system interface, Su Feng's current defensive ability panel is completely different from before.

only......

What troubles Su Feng more? He has obviously been working hard on his two-handed dribbling skills this summer, but...

After a summer in which there was relatively little time to practice? Su Feng's ball control and dribbling abilities only improved by a mere 2 points...

And his fancy ball control has remained unchanged from the previous 86!

Does it make sense? For ordinary people, dribbling with more than 80 ability values ​​​​given in this system may be enough.

But for someone like Su Feng who wants to surpass Jordan...

Compared with his terrifying speed and jumping, this 84 dribbling, ball control and 86 fancy dribbling are as disgusting as they are.

What kind of international joke is this about stupid Vince and stupid Carter?

He, Su Feng, is obviously Toronto's new Irving. Why is he so unpopular in the blacksmith system?

"I must be jealous." On this day, Su Feng thought to himself resentfully.

result......

Are you talking about coincidence?

Shortly after Su Feng complained about his dribbling ability, the system issued a task to him as soon as the new season started.

“Epic mission: three consecutive scoring champions.

You are already the number one player in the NBA, but when you look back, you find that you have never won a scoring title.

In order to fill this gap in your career resume, you are determined to start attacking the NBA scoring champion.

Mission completion reward: Unlock the host’s extreme talents in dribbling and ball control potential. And make flexibility and agility visible in the system panel.

Penalty for mission failure: None. "

"!!!"

As we all know, grass is a plant.

On this day, after receiving the new task issued to him by the system, Su Feng, who had already thought about using the right to unlock the dribbling talent after upgrading the system next time, if that didn't work, suddenly felt like he was in a state of shock. Generally excited.

Because now, in addition to upgrading the system, as long as he can complete this epic mission, he will have the right to unlock talents one more time!

"Just after Tracy left the team, the Raptors needed me to step up."

Looking at the system taskbar, Su Feng subconsciously clenched his fists.

There is no doubt that the system classifies this three-consecutive scoring champion as an epic mission, which is enough to show how difficult this mission is.

Because if Su Feng remembers correctly, in his original time and space, the scoring champions in the 00/01 and 01/02 seasons were both won by Iverson, while the scoring champion in the 02/03 season was won by Tracy McGrady.

In addition, the threshold for scoring champions in the past three years has basically averaged around 30 points per game.

But in this life, after Iverson left Larry Brown's clutches early, Su Feng felt that Iverson might not be able to score such high scores in the new season.

certainly......

If he wants to ensure that he can win the scoring title, Su Feng feels that he must at least average 30+ per game in the new season.

But you have to know that at the beginning of the 21st century, when the cancellation of HC rules was still in the transition period, the current average per game was 30+...

That's no easier than averaging 35+ per game in the future.

and......

As far as the current Raptors' most scientific shot distribution is concerned, it is obviously impossible for Su Feng to score points without destroying the team's chemical reaction.

However......

One good news for Su Feng is that because the Raptors have already achieved the best record in history, in the new season, Raptors players generally have little interest in the regular season.

so......

What are you waiting for?

In Su Feng's view, when the team is in a "critical" moment, if he doesn't lead by example, who will?

As the leader of the team, if he can't turn the tide and support the building from falling, what's the difference between him and the fat-headed fish in Los Angeles?

It is worth mentioning that on this day, just when Britney wanted to go to Los Angeles to teach Su Feng English as a "friend" when he played the opening game...

Su Feng decisively rejected Britney's request for a date without even thinking about it.

Ah......

Women will only affect my shooting speed.

No matter what, Su Feng has decided on this epic mission!

…

31st, Los Angeles, Staples.

Four years.

It has been four years since O'Neal joined the Lakers.

Do you know how O'Neal lived during his four years in office?

In the first year, he patiently waited for Kobe Bryant to grow up. Although he failed to lead the Lakers to the Finals, at any rate, he was only 25 years old that year and still had plenty of time in the future.

And the next year...

Wasn't it just being swept away?

No big deal.

But in the third year...

Well, it doesn't matter if they were swept in the finals. At least compared to last year, the Lakers led by O'Neal have improved, right?

However, in the fourth year...

Can't wait any longer.

O'Neal, who is almost 30 years old, can no longer wait.

In eight years of career, he has reached the playoffs seven times, the conference finals five times, and the finals three times...

To be honest, such a career is already brilliant enough, right?

However, people now only remember the experience of being swept three times in the finals and the other two times in the conference finals...

How do you think O'Neal can bear this?

Especially since Su Feng entered the NBA, he has a dark history of never beating him...

In O'Neal's opinion, tonight...

At least this history must be rewritten by him himself!

And when night fell, as players from the Raptors and Lakers began to warm up at Staples Arena, almost all Lakers fans could feel the anger of the Lakers from the inside out through the TV screen.

"This may be the most luxurious Lakers lineup I have ever seen since I came into contact with the NBA." Before the game, Kenny Smith explained on TNT TV.

On the side, guest commentator Calipari, who had just fulfilled his promise to run naked two days ago, said: "This must have been forced by Su.

In the current league, Su should be the most dominant player. "

On the other side, Derek, who was on the same stage as Calipari and Smith tonight, noticed that Calipari had completely transformed into Su Feng's shape since he streaked, and he couldn't help but complain:

"John, do you want to make a bet with Kenny this year?"

After hearing this, Calipari, who had already let himself go, smiled and said: "It depends on what Kenny wants to bet with me."

"Oh?" Smith smiled and said: "John, we all know that in Su's current resume, he has never won the scoring title...

In your opinion, does he have a chance to be the scoring champion this year? "

Listening to Smith's question, Calipari fell into thinking.

Because rationally, Calipari believed that it would be difficult for Su Feng to win the scoring title.

after all......

From Calipari's perspective, the Raptors' shot distribution is simply textbook level.

If a player wants to win the scoring title, it is difficult for a player to do so without taking about 25 shots.

but......

Just when Calipari was about to say that Su Feng could not become the scoring champion this season, he suddenly remembered that his teacher Larry Brown asked him to practice Su Feng's teachings more, but he hesitated.

Because, the worst thing is not to run naked again?

Anyway, now the American people know how big their job is.

Therefore, after gritting his teeth, Calipari said: "I think there is no doubt that Su will become the scoring leader this season."

Smith nodded and asked again: "Then how many points do you think he can average per game?"

After thinking for a while, Calipari said: "I think averaging 30+ per game is definitely no problem."

"Then if Su can't do what you said..."

"Then I will go naked in Washington this time!"

Perfect!

Simply perfect!

Watching Calipari set up step by step, Smith felt that he was simply the king of set up in the NBA.

Because even though Smith was nothing but honey, it was precisely because he knew the Raptors and Su Feng so well that he firmly believed that Su Feng would not do such stupid things just to satisfy his own selfish desires.

It’s still the same sentence, still the same truth.

Judging from the Raptors' shot distribution and number of stars...

Once Su Feng's shot count exceeds a certain limit, the Raptors' chemical reaction will be greatly affected.

Therefore, after promising that if Su Feng could do all the above, he would also streak in Washington, Smith could not wait to fast forward to watch Calipari streak for the second time.

At this time, in the Staples Arena, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, the big screen also showed the starting five players of the two teams tonight.

Lakers: O'Neal, Grant, Jones, Kobe, Kidd.

Raptors: Ben, Barkley, Su Feng, Carter, Nash.

Because of this game, the Raptors "remain true to their original aspirations", so in terms of starting personnel selection, Davis started Barkley.

Um......

"Don't forget your original intention" here refers to using violence against O'Neal on the court.

Although Barkley and O'Neal were no longer acquainted with each other at this time, as the saying goes, there is no friendship on the court.

He, Barkley, would not show mercy to O'Neal.

However, after Barkley, whose actual height is only about 193 centimeters, came on the field, I have to say that the Raptors' starting height in the opening game of the new season...

It's really a bit weird.

Because none of the Raptors' starting five are actually taller than 2 meters.

On the court, with hundreds of millions of people looking forward to it, Ben and O'Neal came to the center circle.

result......

Just don’t mention it!

Lakers offense.

Kidd, who is wearing a Lakers jersey in the new season, showed a completely different aura from Fisher as soon as he came up.

He doesn't like to occupy the ball. After noticing that his teammates were spread out in a 122 position, he immediately gave the ball to Jones on the right.

At the same time, he also set a pick-and-roll for Kobe Bryant in the high post.

In addition, he also used his eyes to signal Jones to lob the ball to O'Neal.

In Su Feng's previous life, if the biggest problem with the Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark's lineup was that all five of them needed the ball.

In a sense, Kidd, who even completed the ball possession rate in the middle and late stages of his career with only half of my gun, is the most perfect point guard for this kind of Cosmos team.

At this time in 2000, there was a joke about Kidd.

When he has the ball, you have to watch out for his unpredictable passes.

And when he's not holding the ball, he can also use his own way to improve his teammates by one or two levels.

It's a pity that even though Kidd's organizational thinking was very clear, O'Neal did not escape Barkley's embrace.

On the court, when the shark just splashed out of the sea wanted to look for food...

On the side, a brave flying pig "sat" the shark back into the sea.

O'Neill: "..."

One thing to say is that in Su Feng's opinion, if someone adapted this period of his career into a novel in the future, the title of the book would definitely be "The Tragic Life of O'Neal Reborn".

What a sin!

How sinful must this be!

In the penalty area, O'Neal, who was directly knocked down by Barkley, almost cried, okay?

Forget about having Barter last season...

Why do you still want to use Barkley to target me?

Could it be that my surname is Ao, so I can’t get along with my surname Ba?

No way...

Because he was afraid of Barkley's big elbows, after the referee called Barkley for a foul, O'Neal dared not speak out in anger.

"Oh...poor Shaq, he has to go to the free throw line again." On TNT TV, Smith mourned for O'Neal.

On the sidelines, Calipari smiled and said: "If Shaq can't change his bad free throws, then I think... this experience will accompany him throughout his career."

"Hey, Shaq, don't be too nervous, take it easy." On the court, when O'Neal was preparing to shoot a free throw, Su Feng did not forget to "encourage" him.

Then......

At the free throw line, O'Neal responded to Su Feng's "encouragement" with a "Sima" face.

only......

The next second, O'Neal's expression suddenly became as vulgar as possible.

And at this time...

Su Feng had already noticed something was wrong.

Because as O'Neal gradually gets into his free throw stance...

The entire Staples Arena, and even all the fans in front of the TV, subconsciously exclaimed!

Thief Su, do you know this trick?

In the summer, in order to defeat the Raptors and to no longer taste the taste of failure, O'Neal changed in this life.

Facts have proved that even a person like O'Neal, who is obsessed with face, has to grit his teeth and swallow what he set in the past when his life and death are really at stake!

Can't lose anymore.

Can't lose anymore!

You know, in order to leave this surprise to Su Feng and his Raptors...

O'Neal never used this move throughout the preseason.

And now...

It's time to witness the miracle!

According to the trainer's design, O'Neal's "urinal pot" is different from Big Ben and the original version.

This is mainly to facilitate O'Neal's big hands to control the power, so O'Neal's "pee pot" will not squat for too long like Big Ben. UU Reading www.uｕａanshu.net

However, during training, after O'Neal completely mastered this trick, his free throw shooting rate did improve a lot.

In the words of a Lakers assistant coach...

Judging from O'Neal's training results, O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage in the new season is likely to fluctuate between 60% and 70%.

As for the specifics, it depends on his performance.

Swish——!

Swish——!

As for Staples, as O'Neal made two free throws, Su Feng was completely stunned.
