All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

On the morning of the 30th.

When the young Rondo opened the door to the Heat training facility and prepared to start training...

In a daze, he who was still thinking about Maple Emperor's third consecutive championship before walking out of the house was stunned by the scene that appeared in front of him.

In the past month or so...

Never mind whether you believe it or not.

In Rondo's opinion...

This Heat doesn't look like a team that wants to challenge for three consecutive championships.

Whether it's the Filipino who worries every day about O'Neal's inability to control his weight...

Or the performance of the entire Heat in pre-season training camp and pre-season games...

If you have to ask Rondo to use one word to describe the state of this Heat.

Then it's probably just "bad".

As early as in the pre-season training camp, when the team was training together, Rondo noticed the fatigue of the Heat from the inside out.

However, in Rondo's eyes at the time, this was not a big deal.

After all, most of the meritorious players on this Heat team have had less rest time than players on other teams over the past two years.

Rondo believes that as time goes by, these famous players who have made great contributions to the Heat in the past two years will gradually regain the feeling of the game.

but......

After the time came to October, Rondo, who had always been good at observing, noticed something was wrong.

Because the regular season is about to begin now...

But the famous players of the Heat seemed even more tired.

no!

This can't go on like this!

If Pat Riley continues to stick to his devilish training methods...

In Rondo's view, the Heat may be exhausted before the regular season begins.

However, as a rookie, how could Rondo have a say in this Heat team?

then.......

In desperation, Rondo finally had to pin all his hopes on the upcoming preseason.

If Rondo thinks about it, the high-intensity training in the pre-season training camp may just be a Heat tradition.

By the time of the preseason, Riley will definitely let his puppet disciple appropriately reduce the intensity of his usual training.

And it turns out...

Rondo's guess was indeed right.

only.......

After the Heat lost to the Celtics, Pistons and Bucks in consecutive preseason games by more than 20 points...

Everything has changed....

Rondo still remembers the scene when Riley rushed into the locker room and stamped his feet in anger after losing to the Bucks.

"What are you guys playing now?

Shaq, yes, I'm talking about you.

Looking at the fat on your belly, don't you think that you are still qualified to be the starting center of this team?

And Trevor, your three-point shooting percentage is less than 20%...

How did you assure me in pre-season training camp that you would impress everyone in the new season?

OK, lose to the Bucks by 20 points today, lose to the Mosaic by 30 points tomorrow, and then lose to the Spurs by 40 points...

Then what?

After we have no one to lose, so that the whole world can see our jokes? "

In the locker room, after the training, I looked at the Heat players who all hung their heads in shame. Although no one is born to like to be scolded...

But in Rondo's view, everyone's recent performance on the court really deserves to be scolded.

only.......

Rondo, who thought everything would end here, could not have imagined...

In the locker room, after taking Spoelstra to hit his head with an ice bucket, Riley immediately announced the Heat's next training plan.

How outrageous is this training plan?

If we were to replace training volume with numbers...

The average team's training volume is 50, and before the Heat, it was 90...

Now, at Riley's request, every Heat player must undergo more than 150 training sessions in the future.

crazy!

This is absolutely crazy!

Today, looking at Riley...

Even Rondo, who usually works very hard in training, felt what purgatory on earth was during the following period.

Moreover, as the Heat lost all 7 of their 7 preseason games in the new season...

The morale of this defending champion also dropped to the bottom.

In recent days.......

During training, let alone laughter and laughter...

Even when teammates say hello, everyone lowers their heads to each other, and no one wants to talk to anyone.

Rondo knows that if this continues...

It is very possible that what is waiting for you in your debut season...

It will be death immediately after debut.

anxiety.

impatient.

Having trouble sleeping and eating.

As Pippen, who was appointed by Emperor Maple.

At this moment, Rondo was worried about his future and Maple Emperor's reputation.

In Rondo's opinion...

If Su Feng cannot achieve three consecutive championships next season...

Before that, how high his good brother had lifted him up...

By then, he will know how badly he fell.

Fortunately...

Just when Rondo was almost unable to eat...

Su Feng is back!

And when Su Feng came back, hope also came back.

And with hope, the Heat's fighting spirit instantly increased by several levels!

On this day, Rondo, who learned from his teammates that Su Feng had started training in the training hall a few hours ago, had a lot to say to Su Feng.

But before he could speak, after Riley and Spoelstra arrived at the training hall, Su Feng made Rondo understand with a speech...

What is a leader!

"Next, in November and December, you only have three things to do.

rest.

rest.

It’s still a fucking break! "

"Also, I know there's been a lot of talk lately about whether I'm going to leave the Heat at the end of next season.

So, I don’t want to lie to you here.

To be honest, this new season will be my last season playing for the Miami Heat.

At the same time, this will most likely be my last season working with you.

Some of you have been playing with me for three years.

And some people may only have two years.

However, no matter what, during the past time fighting together, I believe we have formed a deep bond with each other.

So I know some of you may not be able to accept this for a while.

But in China, there is a saying that there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever.

In the NBA, I said when I left Toronto that friends come and go, but only the championship flag is flying in the wind.

So, at this moment when I am about to say goodbye to Miami...

My only wish is to win another championship with you!

Manu, do you still remember what I said to you when we first met in a FIBA ​​friendly match?

I said to you at the time, 'In my eyes, you are the best shooting guard in the world, bar none.'

As a result, if I remember correctly, your answer to me at that time was ‘I think so too’, right?

And Trevor….

I know you've been concerned that people think your shooting is holding back the Miami Heat's offense.

But I don’t know if you still remember what I said to you?

I say, as long as you can make the opponent's offensive core want to yell at you every night...

Then in this Heat team, no one can ever take your place. "

Training ground, one after another...

I saw the Heat players present and Su Feng looking at each other affectionately one by one...

Rondo discovered that this training facility seemed like a volcano...

It could explode at any time.

“Finally, Jerry….

Remember what I told you when I invited you?

I said, even if the whole world doesn't trust Jerry Stackhouse...

I will also never forget that during my last defense in 1997, I handed over the most important task to him! "

boom--!

came back.......

They're all back!

Big brother is back!

Nonsence!

The Miami Heat are back!

Centers, Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Amir Johnson.

Power forwards, Chuck Hayes, Udonis Haslem, Ersan Ilyasova.

Small forwards, Su Feng, Trevor Ariza, Jason Kapono.

Shooting guards, Manu Ginobili, Jerry Stackhouse, Lou Williams.

Point guard, Gary Payton, Rajon Rondo, Chris Quinn.

Inside the Heat's training facility.

Even Quinn, who was signed by Riley in the free agent market this summer, was impressed by Su Feng's charisma from the inside out at that moment.

because.......

Su Feng actually remembered that he was the first person to greet him this morning!

“Maybe you’re not as talented as most players in this league.

But don’t forget, without Kenny Smith, ‘Big Dream’ would not have won the championship. "

For a role player like Quinn...

How could he have imagined...

How could a superstar like Su Feng be so approachable?

You know, when I represented the Heat in the Summer League this summer...

Even some famous players who often participate in summer leagues are all arrogant, as if they are the gods of basketball.

But at this moment......

Looking at Su Feng's sincere eyes...

Quinn admitted.

This damn man in front of me...

He has been completely fascinated.

“Teacher…there are many things I still don’t understand though.

But I have a rough idea of ​​why you can no longer work with Sue. "

On the sidelines of the training ground, Spoelstra said with emotion as he watched the Heat players gradually become more energetic on the court after Su Feng finished his lecture.

After hearing this, Riley smiled and said to Si Shuai: "You have grown up, Eric.

But there are some words, now that you know them, keep them in your heart forever. "

Spoelstra nodded.

no way.

The Heat are, after all, Riley's Heat.

But let alone give Su Feng another five years...

Even now......

This team has already been branded with Su Feng.

As Charles Barkley said.

It was Su Feng who made the Heat a success.

It was not the Heat that made Su Feng successful.

On the 31st, after the morning training, the Heat team had a half-day holiday in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of the vacation, Su Feng also found O'Neal again.

"Give me a little more time, Su...

I know I'm in a bad state right now.

But I haven't forgotten how important this season is to you and me. "Looking down at Su Feng, O'Neill said helplessly.

"Of course I believe you.

Otherwise I wouldn't come to you.

But Shaq...

I am here to remind you this time...

Even if you want to help me on the court as soon as possible, I don't want to see you lying in a hospital bed for the rest of the season. "Looking at O'Neill, Su Feng patted his shoulder and said.

Because on March 6 next year, O'Neal will be 35 years old...

So Su Feng knew very well that if this guy tried too hard to lose weight...

Then the Heat are not as simple as giving other teams 20 million in salary space at the beginning of the new season.

And hearing the words...

O'Neal, who originally thought Su Feng would be furious at his recent poor weight loss results, was also confused.

At this moment, he seemed like a smooth donkey that had been smoothed by Su Feng.

Su Feng's previous life......

In fact, even when he was about to retire, many of O'Neal's behaviors could only be described as childish in Su Feng's eyes.

Notice.......

Emotional intelligence is not equal to mental age.

And low emotional intelligence does not mean that Kobe is not mature enough.

In fact, after entering the later years of their careers, you can find out by comparing the careers of Ke and Ao...

Compared to Kobe who can always recover through self-regulation...

O'Neal is the kind of player who needs someone to coax him to play more.

therefore.......

The more times like this, Su Feng knew, the less he could put too much pressure on O'Neal.

otherwise.......

This fat-headed fish can even break Kobe's defense...

I'm afraid I won't wait until I lose weight...

The self-isolation mode has been turned on.

"Thank you, Su." That day, after Su Feng left, he looked at the sky outside the window...

O'Neill hated him for not knowing enough about Su Feng in his early years.

Thank God again….

On that day in 1994, I met those two cute high school students.

In fact, everyone will encounter setbacks of one kind or another in the long journey of life.

However, some people can kill 8000 in one go when they continue to encounter 7470.

And some people will just talk about it on the sidelines, and they will be harsh and unaware of it. (Note ①)

And Brother Feng, the reason why he is Brother Feng.

But it's not just as simple as the popular saying "FGNB" in the world.

Say goodbye to October.

November 1st.

Miami, American Airlines Center.

The Heat, sitting at home, officially ushered in their regular season opener of the 2006/07 season.

have to say.......

Stern is indeed a CEO who is very good at finding trouble.

Because at this moment when everyone knows that the Celtics can't wait to place the championship trophy in front of Auerbach's tomb...

This year’s Heat’s opening game opponent…

Surprisingly, it was the Boston Celtics.

meaning is.......

Mr. President.......

You think the Celtics don’t have enough BUFF stacks...

Do you still want them to visit the Heat's home championship ring awarding ceremony at the Heat's home court, and give them a layer of BUFF?

Same as last season.

Although the Heat suffered a 7-game losing streak in the preseason.

But ESPN, which has long been familiar with the Heat's routines, still ranked them first in the team strength rankings for the new season.

At the American Airlines Center, along with the dome, the second championship flag belonging to the Heat was officially raised...

Except for Su Feng, other Heat players who participated in the Heat's championship victory last season came on stage one by one to receive their championship rings...

Heat fans who are still immersed in joy at this time have no idea what will happen next...

And on the sidelines......

Even if the old friend has passed away......

Duncan, as before, carried two stools and placed them at the front of the Celtics bench.

Whether it's Larry Bird or not...

Or maybe it's Carl Miller.

Or other Celtic players.

No one touched the two stools.

A long time ago.

Duncan, who was responsible for moving stools for Auerbach, only moved one.

But later, because there was a young man named Randolph in the team, he always liked to compete with him to move stools for Auerbach...

So on the night before every Celtics game, regardless of whether Auerbach came to the scene or not, these two stools would be placed next to the Celtics bench.

“Tim, you know, everyone is saying that this era belongs to Sue, but I don’t think so.

Because in the NBA, UU reading www.uukanshu.net in this long marathon journey...

I believe that Tim Duncan will never give up his pursuit of the leader until the end. "

On the court, just when Su Feng was about to go on stage to make his farewell declaration...

Recalling Auerbach's past teachings, Duncan subconsciously clenched his fists.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

No illness, no slowness.

If we talk about this life, before the age of 30, Duncan had no skills and no sharp sword.

At that moment......

he......

It has entered another realm....

…
