I really just want to strike

Therefore, under Su Feng's hint, Davis quickly handed over his reinforcement plan to Gruward.

There are many high-quality rookies before 99, so if you can trade up, then trade up as much as possible.

And if you can't trade up, then use these two picks as bargaining chips to exchange for a meat shield that can carry O'Neal.

For Su Feng, who knew how abnormal O'Neal would be next season, in his opinion, if the Raptors wanted to defend their title next season, they had to plan how to sink this fat fish from now on.

After all, the lineup is composed of O'Neal, Kobe, Rice, Lewis and others. From the perspective of book strength, this Lakers team is definitely stronger than the one Su Feng remembered.

As for the opponents in the East...

Opponents such as the Pacers and the Heat will not be mentioned.

After another first year of practice, who knows how strong the Celtics will become next season...

There is one thing to say, the difficulty for the Raptors to defend their title next season is definitely at the Galaxy level.

"It's very important to win this crown..."

On this day, while touching his falling hair, Su Feng silently sighed in his heart.

Because if he didn't win this championship this season, he really didn't know how long he would have to wait to win the championship in the future.

In short, it is a good thing to be ahead at the start.

But if you forget your respect for this era because of this, then it's only a matter of time before Su Feng is overtaken...

Chapter 318 Champion parade, epic assists!

On the 25th, the Raptors held a grand championship parade in Toronto.

In order to celebrate the team's first championship in team history, even the Raptors owner Chad, who has always been stingy, generously spent millions of dollars this time for holding a parade.

On the same day that the Raptors held the championship parade, Nike also officially released the news that they will soon launch the "A Time of Inheritance: Champion" joint sneakers of "AJ" and "Phenomenon".

There is no doubt that this summer, if you ask who is the best at cooking.

From Su Feng's point of view, the No. 1 Qifan must be Nike.

Because even if he was scratching his feet and thinking about it, Su Feng knew how valuable these sneakers would be in the future.

Of course, as a partner of Nike, anyway, if Nike has a meal, it is equal to his own meal.

Therefore, in addition to mourning for those sneaker lovers for three seconds, during this championship parade, Su Feng also promoted this pair of "The Time of Inheritance: Champion".

What's worth mentioning is that during the Raptors' championship parade, the beautiful figure that once appeared in the finals once again made Su Feng successfully receive nearly millions of jealous eyes... ..

After the Raptors successfully won the championship this year, Su Feng's worth can be said to have risen with the tide.

Several endorsements he signed in the early years, with the help of Duffy not long ago, all re-signed new endorsement contracts.

In addition to the previous endorsement, Pepsi also sent an invitation to Su Feng two days ago.

Originally, when it comes to Coca-Cola, Su Feng has always sided with Coca-Cola.

But helplessly, Pepsi's sincerity this time is too much.

Therefore, for Su Feng who always valued "sincerity" more, he resolutely rejected the offer from Coca-Cola.

There is no way, Su Feng, who "sees money like dung", is so "forced" now.

And taking advantage of the Raptors holding the championship parade in Toronto, it is naturally impossible for Pepsi to miss such a perfect promotional opportunity.

Therefore, at the invitation of Pepsi and under the planning of the Britney Records Company, "Singing Tool Man" Spears and Su Feng sang Queen's "We Are the Champions" together on the championship parade.

result......

Those North American nerds who originally thought that Su Feng and Britney were just ordinary friends...

On this day, I wish I could come to Toronto to fight Su Feng with a knife.

only......

How would these people who wanted to fight Su Feng know...

In fact, Su Feng and Britney didn't see eye to eye at all in private.

However, the so-called scandals are all speculation.

So, just like that, for a while, news about the love affair between "American Britney Spears" and "Chinese Melon" swept across North America like a tornado.

And the slogan "Kill Su thief, grab Tiantian" will resound throughout the North American otaku circle in the coming summer.

cough......

Let's talk business.

Although the Raptors' championship parade this year couldn't compare to last year's Bulls' championship and Su Feng's memory of the future Lakers' championship, but with the positive response of Jiacun's elders, the whole of Toronto turned into a sea of ​​joy on this day.

Tens of thousands of fans wore Raptors championship commemorative T-shirts and followed the championship float all the way. The scene was so lively.

Jordan, who is about to retire, also delivered his retirement speech again on the championship parade.

Then, when Jordan finished his speech, Su Feng was 100% sure that the cheers that erupted at the scene were definitely not because Jordan spoke too well...

It's just that people are simply celebrating that he finally finished speaking...

Raptors home DJ Martin, who was a guest host, asked Su Feng when the team championship float arrived at the University of Toronto:

"Su, the Raptors can win the championship this year, and people think that you have the greatest credit.

Next season, Michael will leave the team, do you have the confidence to lead the team to defend the title? "

Looking around the float, the Jiacun fans who were looking forward to his answer, Su Feng smiled after taking the microphone:

"I want to refute you first, because in my opinion, no one has the most credit for the Raptors winning the championship this year.

We are one great whole and we cannot live without one.

We are close to each other, like brothers.

So in my opinion, not only will nobody beat us this season, but there will still be no team that can beat us next season.

Like I said before, 'No bros, no basketball'! "

Now that "Inheritance Basketball" has finished playing, in Su Feng's view, "Brothers Basketball" should officially take over.

On the other hand, after Su Feng's speech with extremely high emotional intelligence, McGrady, Carter, Nash, Da Ben and others also expressed that from now on, there can only be one talker in Toronto.

As for the "old rascal" who is about to retire...

Although after reading Su Feng's words carefully, he always felt that something was weird.

But if you say something is wrong, Jordan can't say it all at once.

In order to show loyalty to Su Feng and avoid being laughed at by Jordan, an "outsider", in the next interview, the Raptors players showed what "position" and "pattern" are.

"Su is too humble. Without him, we will definitely not be able to win the championship this year." Tracy McGrady said in an interview.

"He's a great leader, on and off the court, he's our most important player," Nash said.

"I hope the league can restart the slam dunk contest next season, because in my opinion, if you can't beat Sue in the slam dunk contest, then you can't dunk." Carter also said angrily.

"I've never doubted Su, believe me, there is no man in this world who is more trustworthy than Su.

He guides us forward, he is omnipotent! "

As Su Feng's loyal minister, Da Ben said so.

"I am very glad that Sue can regard me as his brother. In fact, the reason why I chose to join the Raptors is that Sue likes my two little guys very much.

I have seen many excellent qualities in Su, so I hope that Stephen and Seth can become excellent people like him when they grow up. "

In addition, the old Dell also said so in an interview.

In this way, under the loyal speeches of these teammates, on this day, the Jiacun elders even forgot the sad thing that Jordan is about to retire.

And after Su Feng yelled the slogan "No brothers, no basketball" again, many basketball fans called their best friends to greet them immediately:

Brother, do you want to play ball together this weekend?

Oh, you want to accompany your wife, forget it.

ha?Is it important whether the wife is with you or not?

Enough loyalty!This is a good brother!

Obviously, no matter what purpose Su Feng chanted the slogan "Brothers Basketball", at the end of the 20th century, his words will affect an entire generation.

And after a whole day and night of carnival, the hustle and bustle of Toronto finally returned to calm...

……

On the 26th, just the second day after the Raptors' championship parade, at the MCI Center in Washington, the 1999 NBA Draft officially kicked off.

In order to complete the reinforcement task assigned by John Davis, Raptors general manager Gruward once again felt the world's malice towards him.

Because in the recent period, no matter who his negotiating partner is, the other party seems to tease him as if he is a fool.

As the last batch of rookies of the pan-96 golden generation, although there were not many superstars in the 99 draft, many of them will become famous in the future.

For example, attacking guards like Francis and Baron "The Beard" Davis;

For example, Hamilton, who once participated in the McDonald's All-Star Game with Su Feng;

Another example is the "King of Fighters" Artest, the "Great Pitcher" Szczerbiak, the "Hacker" Marion, the "Human Explosive Pack" Maggette and others...

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Raptors to trade up draft picks this year.

In addition, the Raptors had just won the championship, so they could easily become the target of public criticism, so from the very beginning, Su Feng never imagined that Gruward would be able to successfully trade for a higher draft pick.

only......

Among the many negotiating partners who treated Gruward as a fool, Su Feng learned of a deal from Davis that seemed to be insane but was actually very profitable for the Raptors.

"Mike (Dunleavy) is so bullying!

Not only does he want our two picks this year, but our champion heroes Scott (Williams) and Mark (Bryant)...  

You know, John, after we gave so many chips, he was only willing to give us a player who averaged only 3.8 points and 2.8 rebounds last season. "

Regarding the almost "humiliating" offer given by the Blazers, Gruward felt that the other party was simply "insulting" his IQ.

"The most important thing is that he even told me that they actually lost money on this deal because they gave us an inside player with the potential to become an All-Star."

On the phone, Gruward complained to Davis in a huff.

But after Davis relayed Gruward's words to Su Feng, Su Feng really wanted to give old Dun Levy a big praise.

Because in Su Feng's opinion, the old man Deng Levy really didn't "fool" Gruward this time.

After all, Jermaine O'Neal, this guy is indeed an All-Star insider in the future!

"Coach, would you trust me again?"

After learning about the offer from the Blazers to the Raptors, Su Feng looked at Davis with a smile and said.

After pondering for a while, Davis asked rhetorically, "Su, are you asking me to agree to this deal?"

Davis, who originally wanted to share this incident with Su Feng as a "joke", never expected...

After Su Feng learned about this "joke", he was as happy as a monkey who just found a peach.

What an international joke, using two insiders...

Ah no, with two "professional shark-choppers" and two draft picks, it is a good thing to be able to trade for O'Neal. It is reasonable, and it may have happened at this juncture in 1999.

For Su Feng, who had fought Jermaine O'Neal in the McDonald's All-Star Game back then, he knew very well that the reason why Jermaine O'Neal couldn't play in the Trail Blazers had nothing to do with his strength.

Purely because the Blazers didn't give him a chance.

In Su Feng's previous life, after switching from Portland to Indianapolis, Jermaine O'Neal became an All-Star player in the Eastern Conference in just one season.

Before the serious injury, the physically fit O'Neal could not only fly and dunk, but also with the speed of the third position and the height of the fifth position, he could even dominate most of the insiders in this league.

In addition, in Portland's career in hitting the basket, O'Neal also followed Sabonis, Wallace and others to practice small mid-range shots that can fight and retreat.

From Su Feng's point of view, since the meat shield center is so valuable in this era, the Raptors might as well just go ahead and forget about it.

Anyway, I can't prevent O'Neill, so I will find a way to help him lose weight.

Try to think about it, the pick-and-roll between O'Neal and Nash, isn't that picture more beautiful than the pick-and-roll between Smith and Nash?

In addition, this guy has been holding back on the bench for a long time, and is extremely eager to prove himself.

For the Raptors who just won the championship, isn't O'Neal just the catfish that can continue to inspire the Raptors' potential?
