All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

After a huge victory over the Warriors in the first game, many Lake fans who were almost forced into self-isolation by the Lakers began to settle their scores online.

However, they were not happy for two days

In the second game of the preseason, the Lakers lost to the Jazz in Utah by 20 points.

In this game, Su Feng and Kobe played 10 and 15 minutes respectively.

On the court, the Lakers also mainly inspect substitute players, so the actual process of the game also has no reference value.

But online, the lake black people are at a climax.

Just like no matter how many goals Cristiano Ronaldo scores in the future, there will always be people who say "Headers don't count as goals", "Penalty kicks don't count as goals", and "My grandma can score this goal too".

to be honest

That has to be Benzema's fault.

As a veteran who is about to enter his 13th season in the NBA, Su Feng knows very well that trying to use these few preseason games to complete the team's run-in is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, Su Feng's team has always allocated playing time to role players in preseason games.

On the one hand, this allows for closer inspection to determine whether certain players on the fringes of the roster need to be cut.

On the other hand, through games, young players can also experience the intensity of the NBA in advance.

As for the main players?

As everyone knows.

There are 82 games in an NBA season.

Therefore, even if your form is slightly worse at the beginning of the season, as the main player, you still have plenty of time to slowly regain your form.

No matter in the past or present, no team in the NBA will let the main players play for too long in the preseason.

Because even if it is a low-intensity preseason game, if the main players are injured, who will you go to for reasoning when the regular season starts?

In Su Feng's view, those who regard preseason results as a guide for the regular season are outrageous.

It's true that through preseason games, you can really see the progress some stars have made in the offseason.

But for those teams that even maintain health and paddle during the regular season

Let alone the preseason.

Even in the regular season, you probably can't see why.

…

On the 24th, after returning home to narrowly defeat Mosaic 109-104, the Lakers finally ended their seven preseason games before the start of the new season with 4 wins and 3 losses.

The performance of several new players who joined the team in the new season in the preseason can only be described as mixed.

Dragic performed the most consistently.

In the preseason, he played 25 minutes per game for the team and averaged "10+3+4" data per game. And thanks to Su Feng and Kobe, they always helped him share the organizational responsibilities during the game. He averaged no more than one turnover per game.

have a look!

What is the best growing environment for a point guard in the NBA?

No bragging, no blackmail.

With respectable and lovely seniors like Su Feng and Kobe by my side, what more could I ask for?

In addition, Jordan's performance is also good.

Although in the game, this guy's reckless habits have to be corrected with game experience, but in the limited playing time, his amazing athletic talent deeply shocked the Lakers fans at Staples Center.

In the preseason, Jordan had a scene that left a particularly deep impression on people.

At that time on the court, after being deceived by the opponent's fake move, he jumped up again before the opponent could make a move.

Then, the other party continued to lie, and he continued to jump.

But just when the opponent is about to finish

But Jordan gave the opponent a solid hat.

Oh, right

The player who was crushed by Jordan's talent was Andrew Bogut, who the Spurs could not get rid of no matter what.

However, compared to Dragic and DeAndre Jordan,

Livingston's performance is really outstanding.

Because at this moment, his back-up skills and dry pull skills cannot be compared with the one in Su Feng's memory.

Coupled with years of serious injuries, he has a psychological shadow on attacking the basket that is difficult for others to understand.

Therefore, in the preseason, not only was his scoring not as good as Jordan's, his shooting percentage was not as good as Ben's, and his assists were not as good as Mo's, but even in free throws, he was too eager to prove that he only had 55%.

And Adam Morrison, whom the Lakers previously signed in the free agent market, was even more funny.

As the "successor of Bird" in Michael Jordan's mind, besides driving Ben crazy these days without taking a shower, his greatest contribution is to prove with his strength what Jordan's vision of people is after he retires. How bad.

Therefore, as soon as the preseason ended, Kupchak, who always blushed, immediately waived him.

And Livingston, who originally thought he would go out with Morrison

But he never expected that Master Fenghuang would provide him with an extra opportunity.

"As long as you can beat me one-on-one, I'll let Mickey keep you, how about that?"

On this day, Su Feng smiled when looking at Livingston who had packed his bags and was about to leave.

After hearing this, Livingston nodded and looked at Su Feng gratefully.

only

After losing to Su Feng with disparity scores of 4-21, 5-21, and 3-21,

How dare Livingston have the audacity to beg Su Feng to fight him again?

turn out to be

I'm more useless than I thought

Sean, Sean, I thought you didn’t play well before because of injuries that prevented you from getting enough opportunities.

Ah

Stop being funny, Sean.

Even if you really have enough opportunities, what can you do?

That day, looking up at the Lakers training facility, Livingston knew

His Lakers career may have come to an end.

Thank you Los Angeles.

Thank you for giving this piece of shit a chance.

But now I wake up from the dream.

Maybe I'm not suitable for playing basketball.

"no

Is this how you treat your only chance to stay on the team? "

On the court, just when Livingston began to doubt himself, Su Feng never expected that Livingston's mental quality would be so fragile in his early years.

But thinking about it

Because he has not experienced deeper despair at this moment.

Therefore, it is inevitable that you will not be able to recover for a while after suffering a blow.

So, after letting out a long sigh, Su Feng then said to Livingston: "Because you have suffered several serious injuries, you don't even dare to show strength to your opponent when defending?

You have height and wingspan, and your lateral speed during training is also good.

But why didn't you even dare to touch me when you were duel with me just now? "

Hearing this, Livingston fell silent.

Because it is exactly what Su Feng said

He was too afraid of being injured again, so in the one-on-one duel just now, he did not show his original strength.

In competitive sports, this mentality of not daring to exert force after a serious injury will actually cause these players who have just recovered from serious injuries to suffer more injuries.

For example, because my left foot is injured, I dare not use my left foot to exert force in the game.

As a result, because your right foot is not ready at all, your left foot is fine, but the risk of injury to your right foot is increased.

Take the bullfight between Su Feng and Kobe in recent days as an example.

As the regular season approaches, Su Feng has slowly used his full strength in the bullfight with Kobe.

And even though he felt it was embarrassing to lose to Kobe, Su Feng refused to admit that he used all his strength in the several duels he lost to Kobe.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows

Su Feng was just being tough at that time.

Therefore, seeing that Livingston was worried that he would be injured again, Su Feng picked up the basketball on the floor and threw it to Livingston, and decided to give him one last chance.

“Sean, if an athlete is hesitant because he is worried about injuries, then in my opinion, it would be better for him to just retire.

Because in this league, no one can guarantee that they will not get injured. except me

In my opinion, when you are injured, you should take good care of yourself.

Then when he returns from injury, he will go all out.

Maybe, your luck is so bad.

But, compared to luck, I feel that you now

What a coward. "

In the training hall, looking at Livingston who was still hesitating, Su Feng shook his head and said: "If you want to leave, just leave.

Anyway, in my opinion, you no longer deserve to be called an NBA player.

Of course, if you want to prove that you are still an NBA player, then pick up the basketball and play another game with me. "

Hearing this, Livingston became angry.

What he was angry about was not Su Feng's irritation to him.

But his fragile heart.

Yes, maybe I will continue to get injured in the future

But so what?

If you are injured, heal the injury and continue running forward.

Even if I go back to the starting point again and again

But as long as I can keep running

So who says I can't catch up with my former self?

"Are you really willing to play another game with me?" Livingston asked as he watched Su Feng pick up the basketball and swallow his tears.

And after spreading my hands

Just like the dream that ignited in that Akron boy's heart eleven years ago

Su Feng smiled slightly, spread his hands and said, "Of course, if you are willing, I can fight with you all day!"

…

Before the start of the new season, Livingston finally stayed with the Lakers.

On the 25th, the Lakers officially announced the team's fourteen-man roster for the new season.

Center: Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, DJ Mbenga.

Power Forwards: Shawn Marion, Ben Wallace, Josh Powell.

Small forward: Su Feng, Luke Walton.

Shooting Guards: Kobe Bryant, Maurice Williams, Maurice Evans.

Point guards: Goran Dragic, Shaun Livingston, Jannairo Pargo.

According to the schedule, in the opening game on the 28th, the Lakers will face the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Staples Center at home.

As a president who understands the psychology of fans very well, Stern has always arranged games according to the topic.

Before the start of the new season, in the first team strength rankings, the Lakers and Cavaliers ranked fourth and fifth respectively.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in this year's ESPN player strength ranking list, ESPN also excluded Su Feng from the player strength ranking list for the first time.

The reason is that putting Su Feng on this list is simply an insult to Su Feng in ESPN's opinion.

"A player who is the number one player in basketball history even if he retires immediately should not be discussed with other current players at all!"

However, without Su Feng, this list has become more controversial.

Because in this year's player strength rankings, the number one player is none other than LeBron James.

After that, they were Wade, Duncan, and Nowitzki.

As for Kobe, who has just returned from injury?

"Hey, why didn't I see your name in the top 50?" On this day, holding the newly released player strength ranking list, Su Feng looked at Kobe with confusion and asked.

Kobe: ""

no!

Since you also know that ESPN is an unscrupulous media that specializes in blackmailing me, then why are you using their player strength rankings to stimulate me?

"Don't talk about it yet, I have something to discuss with you." Kobe looked at Su Feng seriously, and after tearing the list to pieces with his own hands, Kobe said.

"You want to tell me that you want to be the last one to appear in the opening ceremony?

No problem, considering this is your first official comeback game, I'm sure. "Looking at Kobe, Su Feng smiled.

Kobe: ""

Damn it!

What I mean by co-writing is that if this game wasn't because of my return from injury, then you wouldn't be willing to let me be the last one to play, right?

But that's all

Because Kobe came to Su Feng specifically to talk about this matter, so in Kobe's view, it was a surprise that Su Feng could bring this matter up to him with such subjective initiative.

"Well, actually what I want to tell you is, in the opening game, who of us will guard LeBron." After a pause, Kobe said.

Hearing this, Su Feng was startled for a moment, then stunned.

Then he instantly felt that he had lost 10 billion, and he said confidently: "Since I entered the NBA, I have never played a position other than a forward.

So since LeBron's position is a guard, of course it's up to you to defend him. "

Kobe: ""

I knew it!

Looking at Su Feng with a rogue look on his face, if it weren't for the fact that he had prepared his mind well in advance before making a special trip to see Su Feng, then Su Feng's words just now would be enough to break Kobe's defense.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to prove himself in front of his hometown elders, given Kobe's character, he would just be eager to face James on the court.

but

Because Coach Lu has notified Kobe in advance, he will only have 25 minutes of playing time in the opening game.

So if there is a game, he has to guard James

Then where would he get the opportunity and time to prove himself?

You know, this James is no longer the little brother next door that everyone bullied when he first entered the league.

During the game, if James really charged, even Su Feng would not dare to pat his chest and say that his offensive state would not be affected by defending James.

therefore

Kobe knew that Coach Lu could not arrange for Dragic to play against James, so he specifically found Su Feng.

However, in terms of Su Feng's attitude towards the game since he knew that he would not be able to win the regular season MVP in a short period of time.

Kobe knew it.

If he wants to convince Su Feng, he must have enough patience this time!

"How come you don't get enough oil and salt?"

However, what Kobe never expected was that even though he was fully mentally prepared, Su Feng's unwillingness to accept Bilian was beyond his imagination.

"No, in the opening game, the Cavaliers will definitely use Ron to defend me, right?

Then come back and you want me to guard LeBron

Brother, this is not the finals. Do you want me to die immediately after this opening game? "Looking at Kobe, Su Feng refused again with good reasons.

"Besides, I am now a 30-year-old veteran

In a few years, I may not even be able to walk anymore.

Do you really have the heart to watch me suffer like this in the game? "After a pause, Su Feng then looked at Kobe with an aggrieved face and said.

And this time

Kobe understands

Why do people prefer to call Su Feng Su Gou on the road?

"Okay, let's be honest with you, I've already discussed it with Tai Lun

In the opening game, I played power forward, and then Shawn Marion went to play against LeBron. "Looking at Kobe who was about to have a mental breakdown, Su Feng suddenly changed his face and smiled.

Kobe: ""

Are you fucking playing with me on purpose?

Since you have already discussed it with the coach, would you have said earlier that you would die?

"Sean is strong, and he only shoots open shots offensively, so he is definitely the best choice for our opening game against LeBron." Su Feng continued, patting Kobe on the shoulder.

"But is it really okay for you to play the fourth position?" Kobe asked.

"Kobe, do you know who you are talking to?" Su Feng asked.

Kobe shook his head.

"The No. 1 power forward in NBA history! Do you know!

With Chris Bosh's small body, if he can score 15 points in front of me in the opener, then I will retire immediately and become a truck driver. "Su Feng said to Kobe while putting his hands on his hips.

Kobe: ""

have to

Sure enough, in the NBA, there is no one better than Su Feng.

But no matter what, after solving the problem of who should guard James,

Now, Kobe can be free to prove to the fans

How strong has he become after the return of the king this time!

…

28th, 8pm.

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

As the opening game of the 2008/09 season, there is no need to go into details or foreshadowing.

On the court, as the Cleveland Cavaliers players walked towards the court one by one

The appetites of countless basketball fans at the scene and in front of the TV were whetted.

Although O'Neal failed to play his due role in the Cavaliers last season.

But this season, after successfully losing weight before the start of the season, he confidently believed in an interview that he and James would team up to sweep the entire Eastern Conference.

In addition, as the first active player besides Su Feng selected by ESPN,

Anyway, except for some James

Almost everyone around the world knows that this season, James will challenge for the first regular season MVP trophy of his career.

The heart of the Grand Duke of Cleveland is obvious to all passersby.

However, compared to the knight

Before the opening game started, the lake honeys were more concerned about where Su Feng had gone.

At the scene, Su Feng, who appeared second to last during the entrance ceremony, was completely missing.

And if it weren’t for knowing that His Majesty the King always has the world in mind,

The Lakers fans just started to suspect that Su Feng was so angry that he refused to appear because the DJ only introduced him with the number "Lakers 23" tonight.

On the Lakers bench, Kobe was anxious.

Because unlike Hu Mi, because Kobe knew that Su Feng was always calculating.

So at this moment, Kobe was really worried that Su Feng would become autistic because DJ only said "Lakers No. 23" when introducing him.

but

Just when Kobe was extremely anxious

But there was a familiar voice coming from the Staples Center.

On the Lakers' home DJ stage, Su Feng took out a pre-written script and read:

"He was born to be tenacious and never afraid of strong winds or rough waves.

He once lost everything, but later regained his confidence and got up again.

He has overcome all the tribulations

After going through countless hardships and hardships, I just cut through the thorns to realize my dream.

Twelve years ago, he once told me that if we are born in our time and do not beat Michael Jordan, our basketball career will be meaningless.

And now, everyone in Los Angeles, what are you waiting for?

Ladies and gentlemen, please allow us to give you the warmest applause:

The eighth overall pick in the 1996 draft by the Los Angeles Lakers. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.ｽnet

NBA championship players

NBA scoring champion

NBA dunk king

Ten-time NBA All-Star

The best NBA player in my opinion.

Also my best brother

Kobe Bryant! "

Staples, looking at the dome in the distance, Kobe, who was immediately instructed by Lu to cover his head with a towel, could say a word at this moment?

At this moment, his whole body was trembling, and his thoughts had already been drawn back to that afternoon in 1994.

"Kobe!!"

"Kobe!!"

"Kobe!!"

And as Staples began to shake

New York, at this moment, David Stern just wanted to open a bottle of red wine from a long time ago.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it

That little Lower Merion

They have really cultivated two "crouching dragons and phoenixes" who can make the NBA forget about Jordan and all the past, and only make fans look forward to the present and the future.

In the stadium, Hu Mi finally saw Su Feng walking back from the DJ stage to the stadium.

And time, at the moment when Su Feng and Kobe embraced each other affectionately,

It seemed as if it was frozen.

Los Angeles!

Are you ready to start the glorious era of 23+24?

if not yet

Then you have to open your eyes wide and take a look.

Because this is basketball that only Pennsylvanians have witnessed with their own eyes!

Lower Merion Twins!
