You can't hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to kill you.
When Su Feng walked into the United Center and started his usual pre-game practice, he saw the 'death glare' thrown from the opposite half.
Kobe just stared at him.
Su Feng had heard many stories about Kobe's low emotional intelligence, so he was not surprised.
He turned around and started his shooting training. Su Feng's off-ball shooting ability was very good, and he hit jump shots one after another.
Su Feng practiced for about 30 minutes. When he stopped, he heard a rough voice behind him: "Your skills are not like Jordan's at all."
Su Feng turned his head, and at some point, Kobe stood behind him.
"?"
Su Feng was surprised by this meaningless sentence. Among the four major shooting guards, the one with the best and most comprehensive scoring skills must be Kobe. Many people say that he is the incarnation of Jordan.
But in fact, Kobe's physical condition is far different from Jordan's. Jordan's physical talent is unique in NBA history. Not only is his static talent invincible, but his dynamic talent is far ahead of any defender.
This is why he is called the God of Basketball.
"You just look like Jordan from the back." Kobe continued: "But your shoulder width, arm length, and palms are all bigger than Jordan's."
He stared at Su Feng's palm with a strong sense of envy.
Kobe's hands were small and his fingers were short.
Many Kobe fans call them "short honeys" when they mock Kobe fans.
Having small hands will require him to put more effort into many technical movements, and his control over the basketball is naturally far inferior to Jordan's. Jordan could hold the basketball with one hand and fly around, but the fake move of holding the ball with one hand could make a highlight reel. But Kobe almost never had one-handed fake moves, but McGrady liked to do them very much.
Therefore, when he looked at Su Feng's palms and long arms, he was filled with envy.
This is unconcealable jealousy.
"Nike gave you 58 million?"
Kobe asked Su Feng.
The pace of his chat was abrupt.
Su Feng nodded.
Then he added: "I hope you don't be proud of this. They give you so much money purely because of your Chinese market, not because of how good your skills are."
"I'm going to beat you up in the game."
Kobe Bryant made a prediction.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Did you really spend only one hour learning Bird's passing?"
Su Feng nodded. "Is there a problem?"
"No."
Kobe shook his head and left.
Su Feng watched Kobe leave. He had only one feeling: the rumors were all true. It wasn't that this guy was difficult to deal with, but that he didn't know how to deal with him at all. Who in the right mind would communicate like this. No wonder the OK group is making such a fuss now.
…
Coach Bill announced in the locker room that he would play conservatively tonight.
The so-called conservative approach is putting it mildly. It means giving up the strategy and not going head-to-head with the Lakers.
No need.
Because it definitely can’t be beaten.
The Lakers F4 are so strong. They are going for the championship. There is no need for us to be tough with them. We might as well save our energy and play the next game.
However, Crawford jumped out.
He objected strongly.
When he came back in this game, he said: "What's so scary about the Lakers? Can Super F4 win for sure? There's no one who is timid before fighting. Coach, give me the ball and I can wipe them out."
Jamal Crawford has never known how to write the word fear. As long as the ball is in his hand, he dares to poke it at the God of Basketball.
However, he is also the legendary 'one person has the ball and nine people are worried' type.
When the game is going smoothly, he is an amazing teammate. If people stand in the way of the Buddha, they will kill the Buddha.
When things go wrong, he can transform blacksmithing from technical to artistic.
So, Coach Bill didn't even put him in the starting lineup.
The reason is to let him recover slowly.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game begins.
The Bulls' starting lineup is: Kirk Hinrich, Su Feng, Kendall Gill, Antonio Davis, Eddy Curry.
The Lakers' starting lineup is: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal.
Looking at the entire NBA history, the Lakers' lineup is also explosive.
When he came on the court, Pippen deliberately pulled Sufondo aside and asked Sufondo to observe Gary Payton's defense. He called Gary Payton the best point guard defense of their generation.
Gary Payton, nicknamed the Glove, was the first point guard in NBA history and the only one ever to win the Defensive Player of the Year award.
His defense is tough but clean, and he is known for his entanglement. He and Shawn Kemp led the team to the Finals, and he once defeated Jordan in one-on-one. Although Jordan refused to admit this matter, the data feedback was like that, and Gary Payton had a certain limiting effect.
Pippen has always been in contact with Gary Payton, and they are tit-for-tat enemies on the court. But they were connected in private. Although the friendship was not deep, they couldn't resist Pippen's "stalking".
In the end, Gary Payton agreed to find a suitable time to give pointers to Su Feng's defense.
I have to say that when it came to treating Su Feng, Pippen acted like an old father. He tried his best to help Su Feng and never let go of any opportunity, just to let Su Feng grow up.
Brushing faces everywhere.
That's because Su Feng is an outside player. Whenever Su Feng is an inside player, he will show his face to Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal.
Even though Pippen and Malone had a bad relationship.
Malone missed a key free throw back then because he said the famous trash talk that has gone down in NBA history.
Therefore, when Karl Malone came to say hello before the game, he specially greeted Pippen: "Fuck you, I will have a championship ring soon."
Facing Malone's greeting, Pippen silently stretched out six fingers.
This made Karl Malone very angry.
Su Feng was standing nearby at the time. He watched these basketball superstars who had been on TV talking so realistically in front of him. He felt an incredible sense of absurdity: the dream had become reality.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game begins.
Shark O'Neal and Shark Curry jumped the ball. Their two fat bodies met belly-first in the air. Eddie Curry relied on a slight advantage to pass the basketball to Hinrich.
Hinrich's mood tonight was obviously depressed.
He is still worried about Su Feng receiving 58 million US dollars in sponsorship. He is a little unable to accept this reality. This was even more uncomfortable for him than Su Feng breaking the single-game assist record in NBA history.
After all, records are cold, the hustle and bustle of the moment.
But $58 million can last a long, long time.
Xinrich was so unbalanced that he felt that Su Feng had taken away all the good things. His goddess Scarlett, the cheers of Bulls fans, the blatant preference of his teammates, the NBA's assist record, and now an additional $58 million.
They were once so close, but now they have become estranged because of Su Feng's rise.
If Su Feng has been the team's regular starter, Hinrich will definitely take good care of Su Feng. He hoped that Su Feng would live a good life, but how could Su Feng live a better life than him?
Hinrich dribbled the ball across half court, and he was about to launch an attack when Gary Payton wrapped around him. He used his strong body resistance to stop Hinrich's pace, and then used his long arms to interfere with Hinrich's technical movements.
This forced Hinrich to stop the ball. Su Feng ran past from one side. Even though he was reluctant, he could only pass the basketball to Su Feng.
Su Feng got the basketball, and Kobe was chasing after him.
Kobe's defensive ability is also very strong.
However, Su Feng did not confront him head-on and directly passed the basketball to Antonio Davis. He ran inside and Kobe continued to pursue.
But Su Feng ran in front of Antonio, stopped suddenly, and ran out of the three-point line... Kobe quickly stopped his focus. He wanted to pursue, but Antonio turned around and blocked his way.
By the time he squeezed away from the defense, Su Feng had already caught the ball outside the three-point line and took a shot... He pounced on it, to no avail.
Uh-huh!
Three point hit.
Su Feng led the way for the Bulls.
The United Center was filled with excitement.
The attendance rate tonight was very high, over 90%, and more than half of the fans were attracted by Su Feng. Through a series of tough battles, historical records, super endorsements and heroic rescues, Su Feng has become the most well-known player in the Bulls and the player with the highest expectations among Bulls fans.
This opening three-pointer has already allowed many fans who came to watch the game for the first time to see Su Feng's spirituality.
Sure enough, he is a super star who can earn 58 million in endorsement fees.
Bulls boss Reinsdorf is still sitting in the arena watching the game tonight, but he is not sitting in the front row, but sitting in the VIP box in the stands where the Nike team sat during the last game.
Sitting next to him was general manager John Paxson, a tall, slightly balding white man.
"This is Tony Sue. The super treasure we found in the second round this year."
John Paxson introduced him: "He's our core for the future."
The bald middle-aged white man touched his chin and said: "It doesn't look like he can provide 31 assists in a single game. His ability to run without the ball is refreshing."
John Paxson smiled.
Reinsdorf also said: "He just learned passing. Bird taught him for an hour before playing."
This sentence made the bald middle-aged white man smile awkwardly. Although he did not believe that Bird could achieve such a great achievement after teaching for just one hour.
boom!
O'Neal showed amazing dominance on the court.
He caught the ball in the penalty area, knocked Eddy Curry away, turned around and completed a dunk.
This ball fully demonstrates his strength, explosiveness, jumping and agility.
He's at least a super super super talented player.
Originally, Su Feng thought that Eddie Curry's tonnage and strength were already strong in the NBA. Unexpectedly, it didn't work at all in front of O'Neal. O'Neal easily knocked Eddy Curry away like an adult boxer hitting a punching bag, and completed a turning and jumping dunk before Eddy Curry could form the next resistance.
A series of movements flowed smoothly and at an extremely fast speed.
It's basically guard-like speed.
Su Feng finally felt what dominance was.
How do you block this kind of attack? Unstoppable!
No wonder the league changed the rules for O'Neal. If you don't change it, he is a bug.
Moreover, O'Neal is not at his peak now. Imagine how powerful he must be at his peak.
Not bound by rules at all.
On his way back to half court, Su Feng couldn't help but think: If I had O'Neal's power, I would probably become a big shark on the outside, right?
Su Feng's strength is actually very strong at this time, and he is already rare among outside players. If he gains weight, his strength will be even further ahead. After all, his strength talent is copied from the inside player Eddy Curry.
But seeing Eddy Curry being knocked away by O'Neal like a sandbag, he couldn't help but want more advanced O'Neal's strength talent.
Gary Payton is still haunting Hinrich.
Although Hinrich is mature and experienced, he is still a young rookie.
His push became difficult and he could only pass the basketball to Eddy Curry, who tried to replicate Su Feng's last offense by running.
But his running wasn't weird enough, and Gary Payton's defense followed him everywhere.
Eddy Curry did not dare to put down his focus and play O'Neal alone. His strength and tonnage were suppressed. Seeing Su Feng running in from one side, he quickly passed the basketball to Su Feng.
Su Feng caught the ball and continued to push forward.
O'Neal subconsciously moved laterally to help defend.
But when Su Feng was about to hit O'Neal, he threw the basketball to the left very quickly. Eddy Curry grabbed the basketball and completed the layup.
After receiving Bird's passing talent, Su Feng's quick positional battle passing is very agile.
Eddy Curry was very excited after scoring a goal. He high-fived Su Feng vigorously and shouted: Well done, Tony!
"Can't you even guard against this rookie?"
O'Neal was prodding Kobe: "This is why Nike gave him $58 million."
Su Feng watched from the side as Kobe's face became increasingly livid. He couldn't help but said to O'Neal: "You don't need to use me to provoke him. I will bear the consequences."
O'Neill laughed when he heard this. He even reached out and patted Su Feng on the shoulder.
He likes Su Feng's "uprightness".
At this time, Su Feng had taken over the ball from Gary Payton. He started playing Su Feng in singles.
Kobe slowly controlled the ball, which looked ordinary. He didn't even make the simplest change of direction in front of his body, nor did he cut and mobilize Su Feng's center of gravity.
If it were anyone else, Su Feng would even be tempted to steal.
But this is Kobe.
The shooting guard with the most comprehensive offensive skills in the league today.
Su Feng did not want to seek death rashly.
He opened his arms and tried to defend his defensive line.
At this time, Kobe suddenly made a thrust forward, and Su Feng subconsciously retreated. When Su Feng just took steps to retreat, Kobe directly jumped up and shot out... Su Feng quickly stretched out his hand to defend.
But it's no use.
Uh-huh!
The basketball fell into the net.
This is Kobe's favorite offense.
He ignored the defense.
Even if you get in my face, I can still hit.
"Do you think this ball is worth 58 million?" Kobe asked Su Feng.
Su Feng shook his head and said, "It's not worth it."
Now, Kobe was furious! ! !
Furious.
O'Neal on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
I didn’t expect this rookie to be so good at insulting people.
The more Kobe Bryant gets depressed, the happier he becomes, and he likes Su Feng more and more.
I even hope that Su Feng will increase his efforts.
