There is no doubt that the transaction involving Su Feng that took place in the 1998 draft is destined to be recorded in history in the future.

And for those Philadelphia fans who like Su Feng, they feel sad, sad, depressed, melancholy...

As all kinds of negative emotions flooded into my mind, I could never forget that on that early summer night last year, they turned into a gust of fighting wind in a desperate situation, like a meteor that pierced the sky, and cut through the Chicago defense line. , how could it be possible to accept the fact that Su Feng was traded at the same time?

Just like when Real Madrid sent Prince Redondo to Milan in the future, what some "radical" Philadelphia fans want to do most at this moment is to rush into the office of the 76ers uniform team and question them face to face:

Why?

Why trade our "Philly hero"?

However, as the saying goes, there is no turning back.

No matter how angry these Philadelphia fans who like Su Feng are with this terrible decision made by the team management, they can't change what happened on June 23, 1998.

…

After the deal with the Raptors was officially reached, Philadelphia 76ers spokesman Pat Krause held a press conference immediately.

At the press conference, after answering various questions from reporters, Klaus suddenly remembered something, patted Berlinberg on the shoulder and smiled bitterly:

"Man, I think we'd better start praying now."

Berlinberg, who was somewhat puzzled, looked at Klaus curiously and asked:

“Pat, what do we need to pray for?”

After hearing this, Klaus stopped talking to Berlinberg.

Because although, if you don't look at it from a time-travel perspective, then this deal is indeed as what most American experts said, the 76ers made money.

but......

Unlike Berlinberg, who "understands football", in Krause's view, it is impossible for a person with Su Feng's personality to become depressed in Toronto.

And in a daze, and he didn't know why, Klaus always felt that he heard a dragon roar from the north.

“Pat, I know you like Sue.

But after this deal, believe me, we will only be stronger next season. "

On the side, looking at Klaus who was worried about gains and losses, Berlinberg smiled.

"Okay, Pat, have you forgotten? You decided this deal yourself.

Marcus (Camby) can run and jump. He was the second overall pick in 1996. Even if Larry's tactics don't need him, we can still use him to get the players we need.

And Doug (Christie), who is good at offense and defense, is the best complement to the 76ers after Su left the team.

As for John (Wallace), I watched his game tape.

He has great physical fitness, and as long as he is willing to obey Larry's instructions, I think he will become a good player. "

Perhaps because he felt that Klaus had not yet recovered from the deal, Berlinberg then comforted him.

"You don't have to worry about the fans, Pat, because they have enough time to digest it all.

Believe me, as long as we can win the championship under the leadership of Larry, these fans who are reluctant to leave Su will understand our good intentions. "

Berlinberg, who knows that the fans are a bunch of "really weird", feels that Krause is too sentimental sometimes.

only......

What Berlinberg didn't know was that Klaus's sentimentality on that day was really not because of those radical Su Feng fans.

At this moment, Klaus was worried that he was not decisive enough, but felt...

Since Larry Brown came to Philadelphia, Krause has always felt that the 76ers have become a little weird.

But if you ask what's weird, Klaus can't tell.

It is true that the 76ers will be stronger in the future, and Krause also admires Larry Brown's coaching ability...

However, in Krause's opinion, if he had to make a choice, he still prefers the 76ers who beat the Bulls eight times.

"It seems that I really don't understand football..."

On this day, Klaus laughed to himself.

…

After the 76ers' press conference, although there were still many fans who couldn't understand the 76ers' decision to trade Su Feng...

However, in the eyes of some "sane" Philadelphia fans, they believe that the team's transactions are not a loss.

Although it is a pity to lose Su Feng, but as Berlinberg said, if the 76ers can become stronger, then what is unacceptable?

Philadelphia.

Larry Brown, who felt that he had "won" in this war without gunpowder, was so relieved after watching the news that he wanted to give himself a cigar.

In Larry Brown's view, Su Feng, the unlucky kid, simply brought it upon himself this time.

You said that you have given him all the love and privileges he deserves, but why is he so stubborn?

And this guy actually dares to tear himself apart?

Who knows how much pain Larry Brown felt when Su Feng tore him apart?

Larry Brown firmly believes that time will definitely make Su Feng understand:

It turns out that he was so "young and frivolous" and "didn't know the heights of the world".

…

There is one thing to say, Su Feng is the only one who can steal traffic from labor negotiations and the impending NBA shutdown.

But while the public was arguing with each other, Su Feng, who was "young and frivolous" and "ignorant" in Brown's eyes, was preparing to go to Toronto as planned.

You know, the reason why Klaus spoiled the deal to Su Feng in advance was because he hoped that Su Feng could prepare in advance.

Therefore, Bill Duffy has already arranged everything for Su Feng in Toronto.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass will go first.

Su Feng's subordinate, Mancias, had already arrived in Toronto with Su Feng's training team a week ago.

Because once the NBA is suspended, players will not be able to use the team's training halls and training facilities, so Mancias immediately rented a long-term ice hockey rink in Toronto and paid the owner of the venue a sum that he could not refuse. After paying the expenses, it was temporarily converted into a basketball stadium.

In Philadelphia, Su Feng's advantage of not buying a house before was also highlighted. On the morning of the 24th, after simply packing his luggage, Su Feng prepared to take Ben and Kobe to the airport together.

No way...

Ben has been sleeping with Su Feng recently, and Kobe, as a noble Western Conference All-Star starter...

How could he, a majestic "Peter Pan", decide to go to Toronto with Su Feng because he covets Su Feng's cooking skills and trainer?

He, Kobe, simply wanted to go to Toronto with Su Feng to see McGrady after not seeing him for a long time.

And just when the three of them were about to go out, there was a sudden drizzle, and Ben and Kobe's stomachs...

All of a sudden it hurt.

At this moment, Su Feng did not expose the poor acting skills of Ben and Kobe.

After letting the two people find their own way to the airport, Su Feng took a long breath and looked at Iverson, who was wearing a hip-hop jacket and standing next to a sports car with empty eyes and said:

"Long time no see, Allen."

After looking at Su Feng for a few seconds in the rain, Iverson silently opened the passenger door and said to Su Feng:

"I send you."

"good."

It takes 30 minutes to get to the airport from Su Feng's residence, but Iverson drove for a full hour and a half this time.

The unruly Iverson knew that even if Su Feng missed this flight, he would take the next one and get off the next one...

However, he just hoped to drive slower this time.

"It's raining. Do you mind if I drive slower?"

Iverson, who controlled the speed of the car very slowly, looked at Su Feng and said.

Su Feng shook his head, "Then drive slower."

For Iverson, who likes to pursue speed and passion, the weather has never been a reason for him to slow down.

A week ago, when he learned that Su Feng would be traded by the team, Iverson ignored the objections of his agent uncle and expressed his strong dissatisfaction to the 76ers' management.

However, in this era of tense relations between labor and management, even Iverson's opposition could not make Pat Kraus muster up the courage to pay the price needed to keep Su Feng.

“It’s very cold in the winter in Toronto, right?”

After sending Su Feng to the airport, Iverson looked up at Su Feng and said.

"It seems to be quite cold." Su Feng replied melancholy.

"If it's cold in the winter, wear it."

Iverson handed a woolen hat to Su Feng.

"Thanks."

Su Feng said after receiving Iverson's farewell gift.

"Su..."

And I don’t know why. Before coming, Iverson had many questions to ask Su Feng and many things to say to Su Feng. But from the moment he saw Su Feng today, Iverson discovered that he actually Can't even say a word.

So, looking up at the sky that was gradually clearing, Iverson looked at Su Feng seriously for a long time and said, "I wish you good luck, my brother."

Su Feng nodded and said with a smile: "You too, Allen."

While watching Su Feng's retreating back, Iverson, who felt a little out of control emotionally, suddenly said: "I don't know how people will evaluate you in the future.

But I know that in 1997, without Su Feng, we would not have been able to beat the Chicago Bulls. "

While looking at Su Feng, Iverson showed off his left biceps. At this moment, because his eyes were too "tired", he finally shed "sweat".

After looking back and seeing the new tattoo on Iverson's bicep, Su Feng...

Choked.

I saw that it was the score of four games.

That was the total score of the 76ers' four games with the Bulls last year.

Perhaps, in Su Feng's previous life, Iverson had many shortcomings.

However, this "answer" also has its advantages.

In this way, Su Feng, who had a tacit understanding with Iverson, waved to Iverson and continued to move forward.

Su Feng knew very well that this "Answer" didn't like to be seen with his sad side.

Iverson, who also had a tacit understanding with Su Feng, sighed slowly after wiping the "sweat" on his face.

For a short while, how could Iverson recover from the sadness of Su Feng's departure?

After all, when he learned that Su Feng was about to be traded, all that came to Iverson's mind were the scenes of fighting side by side with Su Feng and teaching him to dribble.

No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to relieve such "pain" through self-regulation.

Because only time is the best medicine to heal this "pain".

…

"Sue, if you want to cry, I'm not going to make fun of you."

On the plane to Toronto, Kobe looked at Su Feng seriously and said.

On the side, Da Ben, who was pretending to read a magazine, also secretly glanced at Su Feng.

However, Su Feng, who had a bad habit of becoming paralyzed once his emotions got out of control, showed no emotion on his face at this moment.

"I win, Kobe, and let's just say, Sue isn't the type of sissy to cry at a time like this."

Throwing away the big copy of the magazine in his hand, he made a money gesture toward Kobe.

"It's strange... I'm obviously the one who knows Su best."

Kobe, who felt that he shouldn't lose, looked at Su Feng several times while taking out the money, and muttered.

At this moment, Su Feng realized that he dared these two people to bet on their "sadness"?

But don't tell me, Su Feng was in a much better mood after Ben and Kobe had such a quarrel.

On the afternoon of the 24th, Su Feng and three others arrived in Toronto.

Toronto, which has good air quality, is located on the northwest coast of Lake Ontario and is Canada's largest city.

Before getting to know the city, Su Feng first had a meal with John Davis and Raptors general manager Gruwald at a local Chinese restaurant in Toronto on the evening of the 24th.

Although judging from the current external comments, the Raptors paid a bit too much in the deal for Su Feng, but after getting Su Feng, Gruward was very happy.

To put it bluntly, the Raptors and 76ers have different needs.

No matter how powerful Canby, Christie, and Wallace are, their box office appeal is definitely not as good as Su Feng alone in Gruward's opinion.

In addition, in an interview with Toronto TV station yesterday, Gruwald also got a very good inspiration from local Chinese fans in Toronto...

That is, Gruward was surprised to find that the word maple in Su Feng's Chinese name actually perfectly matched Canada, the maple leaf kingdom!

Gruwald plans to use Su Feng's Chinese name to make a big fuss after the labor negotiations to attract Canadian fans' attention to the Raptors.

In Gruwald's view, Su Feng is simply the light of hope before dawn for Toronto, which is in a winter-like market.

However, at this reception banquet, when Gruward was about to give Su Feng a cake in order to persuade Su Feng to renew his contract with the Raptors after his rookie contract ended, Gruward never expected that What's surprising is that he was first given a huge cake by Su Feng and Davis, the master-disciple pair...

Because if Gruward heard it correctly, Su Feng and Davis have been chatting from the beginning...

It’s about next year’s playoffs! ?

“Gentlemen, I don’t mean to offend you.

But I think, for us who are still at the bottom this season, the goal of reaching the playoffs next season is a bit too..." Gruward looked at Su Feng and Dai with a worried look. Weiss said.

After spreading his hands, Su Feng asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there any problem with the team targeting the playoffs next season? Mr. General Manager?"

Gruward: "..."

Is there no problem?

Gruwald was shocked.

However, after looking at Davis for help, Gruward did not wait for Davis to come to the rescue. Instead, he was scolded by Davis:

"Glenn, you all underestimated Sue. Don't forget, he defeated Michael Jordan in 1997."

Gruward: "..."

have to......

Gruwald felt like he was completely speechless.

Looking at the serious expressions on the faces of Su Feng and Davis, if it weren't for Su Feng's outstanding record in the past, he would definitely think that the master and disciple were crazy.

After the reception banquet, Gruwald immediately reported to Raptors owner Chad what he saw and heard at the reception banquet.

Then......

Raptors owner Chad, who was playing golf at the time, almost lost his waist.

Play in the playoffs next season! ?

Is it that I, Chad, am too rational, or is reality too distorted?

Originally, before the trade with the 76ers, in Chad's opinion, the Raptors' core mission next season was to make Su Feng happy...

After all, Chad knows very well that within five or ten years, it will be impossible for the Raptors to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Therefore, in Chad's view, finding a way to renew Su Feng's contract after next season is the top priority for the Raptors in the future.

But......

Playoffs?

Just based on the Raptors’ current group of kids?

hiss----!

Don't tell me, after taking a sharp breath of cold air, if someone else said this, Chad might think he was young and frivolous.

But for Su Feng, who led the 76ers to a double-digit performance in his rookie season, Chad had the same reaction as Grunwald at the reception banquet. He felt that this matter seemed to be a mess...

"If we want to make the playoffs, do you think it's possible with our current lineup?" After thinking calmly, Chad asked on the phone.

"It's definitely not possible, boss. There is no doubt about Su's strength and popularity, but a basketball game is a sport for five people." Gruward said with a wry smile.

"Did John talk about signings?" Chad continued to ask.

Gruwald, who knew Chad's temper very well, replied: "John did give me the names of several players, but the prices were within our acceptable range."

"In that case, let's agree to it.

If the Raptors can make the playoffs next season, UU Reading www.uｕｎshu.net I mean if...then it's okay to spend a little money. "Chad said, feeling a little worried about his wallet.

Gruward nodded. He knew what Chad's endurance was. Therefore, after venting his anger with his boss, Gruward looked at the list of signings provided by Davis and prepared to call each one to inquire. .

Although the current prospects for labor negotiations are not optimistic, for the budget-minded Gruwald, he is very clear about the importance of leaving a good impression on others first.

So, just like that, Gruward made the first call, and he will become a free agent next season and the super sixth man of the Charlotte Hornets...

Dell Curry's phone call.
