All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

As the saying goes, if you want to advance, suppress first.

In late September, as the preseason approaches, just as NBA teams are busy reorganizing their armaments...

Miami, basically every day or two, Heat fans will hear some negative news about O'Neal from the media.

For example, during a public training session with the Heat, some media photographed O'Neal and Su Feng almost fighting.

As a result, reporters later learned through "covert and covert investigations"...

It turned out that it was the ordinary O'Neal who thought his tactical status in the Heat was too low.

"Battle...tactical position?"

After seeing media reports online, if it weren't for O'Neal being too heavy, Heat fans would have rushed into the Heat's training facility and kicked him into the sea.

no......

Shaq, where did you get the courage to compete with Su Feng for tactical position?

Could it be that Liang Jingru gave you this courage?

What makes Heat fans feel even worse is that O'Neal is trying to compete with Su Feng for tactical position...

At a regular press conference on September 28, Riley had officially announced that O'Neal would miss the team's entire preseason this year.

"Unfortunately, because Shaq has not kept his weight under control as I requested, we will not be playing him in the preseason."

After the news spread online that O'Neal would miss the Heat's preseason games, Los Angeles and Lakers fans all felt sorry for the Heat fans.

Because in the eyes of Lakers fans, the Heat are simply the best brothers of the Lakers in this league.

After all, if the Heat hadn't been the receiver, then this "tumor shark" wouldn't have killed the Lakers?

As for the comfort of the Lakers, Heat fans think...

"Magic Calculator" Riley will definitely fall into the big pit of O'Neal this time.

In October, in the latest team strength rankings for the new season, American experts only ranked the Heat in the 11th position due to the recent "negative news" coming from O'Neal.

To quote ESPN columnist Barbas, this is...

If it weren't for Su Feng's sake, he even thought that the Heat would die of internal strife not long after the start of the new season.

"Many old fans should know that when Shaq left Orlando, he had unpleasant news with Anfernee and the team management.

Now, the same script is playing out in Miami.

However, compared with the young and powerful 'big shark' at that time, Shaq, who will celebrate his 33rd birthday in March next year, now only has his mouth. "

Although, the Eagles always prefer confident players.

However, this does not mean that they will like a player like O'Neal who is obviously ordinary but extremely conceited.

"How's it going? Did I act realistic enough?"

However, how do these people who are ridiculing O'Neal on the Internet know that all of this is just the beginning of Su Feng helping O'Neal reshape his identity?

"It's so true... I wish you could have punched me a few times that day."

On this day, in his mansion, Su Feng said while supervising the nutritious meal that O'Neill made for him.

And hearing this...

O'Neal almost choked to death on the piece of "Kobe steak" he just cut.

open......

Just kidding Buckley and his grandma!

Give you two punches?

It's okay to not brag, but with Su Feng's current strength, even O'Neill can't withstand Su Feng's "North Star Fist"!

"By the way, what did Kobe tell you about me in his text message recently?"

After some tactical drinking, O'Neal turned his head to the other side and asked curiously.

And at this time...

Su Feng really felt that whether it was O'Neal or Kobe...

Both of them are typical "dead tsunderes".

Because just before O'Neal asked himself a question, coincidentally, yesterday Kobe also asked a similar question to O'Neal.

"After Kobe saw the news, he asked me not to fight against you.

Because he said that you actually don't have any bad intentions, you just want to get more ball rights so you can prove yourself. "After deliberately taking out his phone and taking a look, Su Feng said to O'Neill.

But this time, after snorting coldly, O'Neal muttered: "Then why wasn't he as considerate as he is now when I was with the Lakers?"

Su Feng: "..."

How the hell am I supposed to know about the breakdown of your relationship?

"Alas, actually... during this period of time, I have also reflected on myself.

Su, do you think I sometimes get too serious with Kobe?

After all, I am always older than him.

I shouldn't argue with him about things. "After a few seconds of silence, O'Neill then said to Su Feng.

In Su Feng's memory, if he remembers it correctly...

For O'Neal to have such a realization, he had to wait until the end of his career and turned on the wandering mode.

only......

I don't know why, but Su Feng always feels that he is like the "spare tire" of Kobe and O'Neal.

Its main function has become a microphone for the two people to listen to each other's news.

"Don't worry, Su, I will definitely try my best to assist you in the last period of my career.

Now I just want to let those who look down on me know...

Even for me now, Michael Jordan only allows me to carry shoes! "Looking at Su Feng, O'Neill said seriously on this day.

After hearing this, before Su Feng could feel sorry for "Boss Qiao" in his heart, there was a long-lost but familiar "ding" in his mind!

"Ding!

The series of missions "Helping Shaq return to the top" has begun.

This past summer, you and 'Shark' O'Neal successfully turned enemies into friends.

However, at this moment, he is facing doubts from the outside world.

As his only support now, you, who have always liked to help others, are planning to help him reshape his "fish personality".

‘Shaq Returns’ mission one, mission requirement: In the 04/05 season, help Shaq regain people’s recognition.

Current approved value: -9978512/10000000.

Mission completion reward: [Innate Divine Power] badge.

Note: After completing the series of tasks of 'Helping Shaq return to the top', the host can obtain a fragment of the 'Destiny Bond Stone'. "

Su Feng: "..."

As a reading comprehension monster, Su Feng extracted the following keywords from the new tasks issued to him by the system in just a few seconds.

He is O'Neal's only support at the moment.

O'Neal's current recognition value is as high as minus 9 million.

as well as......

[Natural power] badge.

In Su Feng's opinion, how miserable must O'Neal be to think of himself as his only support?

And that recognition value is as high as minus 9 million...

To be honest, even when Xiao Zhanzhan was at his worst, it wasn't so scary, right?

As for the [Innate Divine Power] badge...

"[Natural Power] Badge: When the host launches a back attack or physical confrontation on the field, this badge will allow the host to more fully mobilize its ultimate power."

"Shaq, don't worry! From now on, I promise, no one can talk loudly to you again!"

On this day, patting O'Neal's strong back, in Su Feng's eyes, O'Neal was his friend, no matter what, he was committed to it!

And looking at Su Feng who loves him as a "brother", at this moment, how can O'Neal remember that his actual age is 6 years older than Su Feng?

At this moment, in O'Neill's words...

From this second on, Su Feng is his biological brother!

…

On October 6, before the start of the preseason, as usual, the Heat held a media open day at the American Airlines Center.

On the morning of the open day, before walking out of the house, Su Feng followed the "ancient method" and checked the progress he had made in the past year.

First of all, due to the large amount of iron value obtained in the national competition in this year's Olympic Games, Su Feng's current iron value has reached 8.8 billion. (Note ①)

Except for some blacksmithing points that need to be maintained at normal consumption, Su Feng estimates that after the 04/05 season ends, he can upgrade the blacksmithing system to version 3.0.

In addition, although it is not yet known what the fragments of the ‘Destiny Bond Stone’ actually do...

But as the final reward of the two series of tasks "Miami Glory" and "Helping O'Neal return to the top"...

Su Feng believed that this thing would be very important to his future.

Secondly, judging from the current progress of the ‘Maple Dance’, Su Feng was able to successfully transform the ‘Snake Dance’ (Ginobili version) he had previously obtained into his exclusive skill at the beginning of the season.

It's a pity that Su Feng's abilities have basically reached the bottleneck stage...

So judging from the ability panel, in addition to Su Feng making small improvements in shooting and defense...

As for passing and vision, which only improved by about 10 points, in Su Feng's opinion, he was simply standing still in the past year.

no way.

This summer, in order to win the gold medal at the Athens Olympics, Su Feng's summer special training time was much less than before.

but......

As the branches of the [Evergreen] badge tree become more and more lush, now...

After completing all the difficult requirements of the [Evergreen] badge that you can't describe in words, Su Feng only has one left to win the NBA assists title before he can completely light up the area where the [Evergreen] badge is located. .

According to the corresponding effect of the [Evergreen] badge, as a passive badge that does not need to occupy the badge equipment slot...

Not only can it delay the decline in status caused by aging after reaching a certain age, but it can also allow Su Feng to maintain relatively energetic body functions after entering old age.

For Su Feng, who will turn 27 next year, obtaining this badge, in his opinion, is even more valuable than the NBA championship.

After all, the NBA has it every year.

However, after reaching a certain age, even if you are super giant, you will be clearly arranged by time.

I think back then, it was with the help of time that Su Feng completed his counterattack against Jordan.

Therefore, judging from the current situation where the newcomers in the alliance are eager to die...

In Su Feng's mind, the [Evergreen] badge is no less important than six championship rings.

"Ding!

Mission 2 of ‘Miami Glory’ has started!

Task requirement one: Lead the Heat to 60 wins in the regular season of the 2004/05 season.

Task requirement two: Lead the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2004/05 season playoffs.

Mission requirement three: Lead the Heat to win the championship in the 04/05 season.

Reward for completing the task requirement: 50 million blacksmithing value.

Reward for completing mission requirements one and two at the same time: Unlock Miami Glory series mission three.

Three tasks require completing the reward at the same time: a special moment card (Golden Legend).

Note: After completing the Miami series of tasks, the host will obtain a fragment of the 'Fate Bond Stone'. "

What is worth mentioning is that before going out today...

The blacksmithing system also officially opened the second phase of the "Miami Glory" series of missions for Su Feng.

As a series of missions that Su Feng started after arriving in Miami, perhaps this is the reason why he even took over the "Dragon Slaying" mission in his early years...

Therefore, Su Feng always felt that the requirements for him before this mission were a bit too low.

But this time...

Whether it's from the current NBA landscape or from the Heat's current strength...

Even Su Feng, who had always liked Versailles, did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to complete all the requirements of this mission.

"Special moment card? What's the use of this thing?"

Because this time Su Feng could only inquire about the specific purpose of the special moment card after completing the third requirement of the task...

So looking at this mission that was labeled "Golden Legend" by the system, Su Feng's curiosity was immediately aroused.

…

On the 6th, according to the previous plan with Su Feng, at the Heat's media open day, O'Neal, who was in disgrace throughout the entire process, suddenly became the target of public criticism.

At the scene, looking at O'Neal who was still "playing his temper", the reporters from Miami were so angry that their lungs almost exploded with O'Neal.

Fortunately, when they took the core makeup photos, the reporters immediately felt relieved after noticing that the Heat only arranged for Su Feng to take the photos.

only......

This feels so good...

But to the discerning eye, these little details that happened on the media day...

But it is enough to prove that the Heat currently have irreconcilable conflicts internally.

Especially after Riley once again confirmed on this day that O'Neal will miss all games of the Heat's next preseason stage.

For some reporters who came here specially to eat melon, they immediately smelled the smell of gunpowder.

Since O'Neal had been watching the exhibition game on the media open day, the next day, many American media launched their speculations about the discord between O'Neal and Su Feng.

As more and more signs indicate that Riley's idea of ​​trying to trade for O'Neal to compete with Yao Ming and Duncan has gone bankrupt, online...

Some pessimistic Heat fans even suggested to the team:

Otherwise, next season we can simply mess around and let Su Feng improve his statistics.

You know, Su Feng is now only 2,676 points away from becoming the youngest player to score 20,000 points in NBA history.

Therefore, in the eyes of these fans, since the Heat's new season has been ruined by O'Neal, why not let Su Feng increase his power and strive to create an unprecedented record after the 04/05 season?

As of now, the youngest 20,000-point record holder in the NBA is Wilt Chamberlain, who became Mr. 20,000-point player at the age of 29 years and 134 days.

After him, Jordan was 29 years and 326 days old when he became Mr. Twenty Thousand Points.

In Su Feng's original time and space, in the future, Xiao Zhanzhan was 28 years and 17 days old when he became Mr. Twenty Thousand Points.

Durant and Kobe are 29 years and 103 days and 29 years and 122 days respectively.

Since high school players have an inherent age advantage when it comes to hitting this record, don't say...

The suggestions of these fans have really been recognized by most people online.

After all, as the most intuitive manifestation of a player's dominance, even if data cannot represent everything, you cannot deny the importance of these records to Su Feng when he discusses seniority in the future.

Unfortunately......

How did these fans know that as a mature MVP, Su Feng not only wanted to become the youngest player in the NBA to score 20,000 points at the end of the 2004/05 season, he even wanted to join O'Neal...

Another attack on "building a dynasty" in Miami?

In fact, judging from O'Neal's state after the summer, even if he wanted to play in the preseason, Su Feng would advise him to rest peacefully.

Because after a summer of devilish training, O'Neal's body has begun to age...

You always have to give him a break to apply lubrication and replace parts.

As for the team's adjustment and game status...

Judging from O'Neal's rich experience, missing a few preseason games will cause him to be in poor condition...

Then Su Feng might as well retire where he is.

And as the chief director of this drama between Su Feng and O'Neill...

When Riley learned about Su Feng's thoughts, he immediately raised his hands and feet to Su Feng.

As a coach and general manager who knows how to use public opinion to create exposure for the team, Riley knows that the drama between Su Feng and O'Neal will not only push the Heat to the forefront of public opinion from the beginning of the season.

And, once O'Neal gets slapped in the face like crazy during the game...

By then, people's attention and interest in this Heat will probably become higher and higher.

Anyway...

At the moment, Riley has set the stage for Su Feng and O'Neal.

And then, it’s time to hand over the stage to the “actors” to “perform”!

…

In early October, before the start of the preseason, the arms race for the new NBA season continued.

Among them, the most concerning thing is probably the quarrel between Boozer and the Bucks.

Just like in Su Feng's memory, although the team he was pitting against had changed, the pitfalls that were supposed to come were never late.

This summer, in order to complete the contract extension with Boozer, a potential newcomer, in advance, the Bucks discussed with Boozer that they would give up Boozer's team option and release him as a free agent.

As a result, after discussions between the two parties, Boozer also nodded and agreed that he would accept the six-year, 41 million offer offered to him by the Bucks.

However......

Next, just when the Bucks were happily preparing to build a team around Boozer, an offer from Utah completely disrupted their plans.

Faced with the 68 million offered by the Jazz to him over six years, Boozer turned around and threw himself into the arms of the Jazz without even thinking about it.

And this time...

The Bucks management exploded on the spot.

because......

Trust between people, in the eyes of the Bucks management, will no longer exist after this night.

Online, both Chinese and American media used words like betrayal and betrayal when reporting on this incident.

Without faith, one cannot stand in the world.

Back then, the reason why Su Feng didn't suggest that the Raptors draft Boozer was because in his opinion, even if Boozer didn't rebel today, he would rebel tomorrow.

In Su Feng's original time and space, as a power forward who averaged "20+10" per game at his peak, the reason why Boozer only made it to the All-Star once was because the Americans themselves didn't like him. .

Online, after Boozer's "rebellion" against the Bucks, angry Bucks fans even launched a crowdfunding campaign to ask a wizard to curse Boozer's broken leg.

In addition to Boozer, another "Jazz legend" Karl Malone officially announced his retirement before the start of the new season.

In Su Feng's memory, if he remembers correctly, after O'Neal and Payton left Los Angeles one after another, Malone originally wanted to play for another year.

Because at this time, he was only a little over 1,400 points away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's NBA all-time scoring record.

Therefore, in Malone's view, after O'Neal and Payton left one after another, he is very hopeful that he can get more ball rights in the game and challenge this record.

However, due to conflicts with Kobe, Malone chose to retire before the start of the 04/05 season.

In this life, the reason why Ma Long retired was different from what Su Feng remembered.

Because in this transaction with the Heat, there is an additional variable named Milicic...

Therefore, after learning from the Lakers that he would not get much playing time in this new Lakers, Malone, who felt that he had little hope, chose to retire after careful consideration.

"I'm surprised. I only found out today that Karl chose to retire." Kobe commented in an interview.

In Los Angeles, due to the absence of the conflict with Malone and the continuous negative news about O'Neal from the Heat, Kobe has become the "King of Kings" in Los Angeles.

Including before the start of the new season, ESPN ranked Kobe second in the NBA shooting guard rankings for the first time...

Therefore, although I still feel bad about ESPN ranking him behind Iverson...

However, looking at McGrady being pinned down by him, Kobe has been sending taunting text messages to McGrady a lot in the past two days.

No idea.

Although McGrady successfully reached the Finals with the Suns last season, due to his poor performance in the Finals and various signs afterwards pointing out that McGrady was competing for FMVP, which affected his status, so For ESPN, which has always valued "team" more, it is naturally impossible for a "cancer" like Tracy McGrady to get high scores.

only......

In fact, in the NBA, after reaching the finals, if you say that your core players don't care about FMVP, how is that possible?

From Su Feng's point of view, except for Du Xiaoshuai's bratty brother with a true temperament, most players would choose the same approach as Tracy McGrady.

It's just that this time, McGrady lost, so according to the law of success and defeat, all his old scores were dug up by ESPN.

For example, when comparing the high-level statistics of Tracy McGrady and Su Feng, ESPN's various statistics about Tracy McGrady are fake, while Su Feng's statistics are based on real results.

For another example, comparing the performances of McGrady and Su Feng at critical moments, ESPN continues to educate people that McGrady cannot become the absolute leader of a team.

result......

It was obviously a matter that had nothing to do with him, but Su Feng unintentionally became the final beneficiary.

"Sure enough, even if he doesn't play on the same team, McGrady still has his heart for me."

On this day, seeing all the cynicism about McGrady on ESPN, Su Feng had no choice but to run to Phoenix and kiss McGrady.

Look, what is the strongest second boss in history?

Even if he is not a teammate with him, McGrady is "assisting" him all the time!

…

In mid-October, with the official start of the preseason for the new season, the players of each team have also received a preliminary test for their training for the new season in the past summer.

In Miami, something heartbreaking happened again for Heat fans during the preseason.

That is, in the team's seven preseason games in the new season, the Heat actually lost 6 of them.

And the only game they won...

The opponent is the Bucks, who are recognized by the world as being the ones who will launch an attack on the No. 1 pick in the new season.

Online, for Heat fans who were still enjoying the joy of Su Feng leading the team to the Eastern Conference Finals last year, how could they accept the fact that the team had "become weaker" through reinforcements after one summer?

then......

During the period from mid-October to the eve of the new regular season opener...

Almost every day, Su Feng could see O'Neal's rapidly increasing recognition value from the system interface.

Um......

In the task interface of "Helping O'Neal return to the top", O'Neal's recognition value has now soared from more than minus 9 million to more than minus 14 million.

With the rapid development of the Internet, some fans who are good at photo editing even photoshopped O'Neal into a photo of him being flushed down the toilet.

So these days...

You can definitely call it:

The NBA is having a "fish-eating conference."

Incompetence, shortness, and bullying have indirectly become synonymous with O'Neal.

On TNT's season preview...

Barkley also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with O'Neal.

"In my opinion, being called one of the top 50 NBA stars with Shaq is simply a lifelong shame!"

As another Kaedebuki on TNT TV, Smith said, "Although Shaq is now beyond his capabilities, I think this is not the professional attitude that a veteran who has played in the NBA for more than ten years should have."

Perhaps through the literal English translation, you can't feel Smith's anger towards O'Neal's various actions. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

But if his words are translated freely, the meaning is roughly as follows:

MD, even if I give you a chance to hug your legs, you won’t do it. You are so fucking salty!

"Su, you know, it's different from the past when I saw people's criticisms of me and I wanted to go up and smash their heads in...

But at this moment, I actually want to laugh. "On the eve of the regular season opener, O'Neal said to Su Feng after eating a nutritious meal at Su Feng's home.

After hearing this, Su Feng smiled and said: "So...Shaq, are you ready to show the world what 'dominance' is?"

Su Feng was opposite Su Feng. After nodding, O'Neill said solemnly: "Of course!"

"I will definitely use my strength to let those who look down on me know...

How terrifying is Shaquille O'Neal who has transformed into the war hammer in the hands of His Majesty the King! "

…
