The Lakers finished the game and headed straight to the airport. They were going to Oakland to play back-to-back games with the Golden State Warriors.
Su Feng did not accept an interview after the game, although the media wanted to ask him what he wanted to say about harvesting the fourth nose bone.
Su Feng did not speak, but Darius Myers spoke eloquently.
He seemed very excited, as if he had finally caught up with a trend.
"I'm different from them. Their noses were broken when they were thrown to the ground, but mine was broken. This certainly shows that I'm better than them."
"I will seriously consider going to the plastic surgery hospital Tony Su endorses."
"..."
Darius Myers talked about how it felt to have his nose broken by Su Feng, but he did not show any sign of hating Su Feng. It sounded like he and Su Feng were good friends.
Even when a reporter asked him: "How do you feel about Tony Su being elected as the All-Star starter, how do you feel about LeBron James not being selected as the All-Star, and how do you evaluate LeBron James and Su Feng?"
The talented forward, who was once a teammate with LeBron James, said clearly: "This shows that fans want to see Tony Su elected to the All-Stars, and he is more popular."
"Tony Su certainly has the ability to become an All-Star player. I think his ability is the best among all rookies."
"I have been teammates with LeBron. He is very physically gifted, very strong, very explosive, and very fast... He is like a monster. However, I think his skills are very average. His skills are not as good as Tony Su's. Well, at least his ball-handling ability is far different, and his rebounding ability is not as good as Tony."
Darius’s words are of historical significance.
He is the first player in the NBA to say that Su Feng is better than James.
Moreover, he also said: "Just wait and see, in five years, you will find that Tony Su has surpassed LeBron James in all aspects."
This sentence frightened the reporters who interviewed him.
Although Su Feng's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, there is a faint tendency to keep pace with LeBron James.
However, no one sees Su Feng being able to compare with James in the future.
The common argument in basketball circles is...Su Feng's ceiling is far less high than that of LeBron James. Although Su Feng is playing very well now, his physical talents have been developed to the extreme and his corresponding skills have reached their peak, so he may not be much different from now in five years. The upper limit is the core of a weak team and the second leader of a strong team.
LeBron James has just started, although many people outside say that he relies on physical fitness to play. But that's not a criticism for a rookie. Because the league's criteria for judging newcomers are different from those of mature players, if you can average 20+ per game just by relying on your physical fitness when you first enter the league, how terrifying will it be after you improve your skills through training and become more adaptable to the rhythm of the league.
But now, Darius Miles says that Su Feng will completely surpass LeBron James in the future.
In the eyes of basketball circles, this is simply ridiculous.
Therefore, the next day all major mainstream basketball media were crazily criticizing Darius Miles.
Darius Miles' own image is inherently unconvincing because of his many ridiculous behaviors. Therefore, the media also attacked him personally.
The violence of public opinion directly labeled him as a stupid and brainless player.
Darius Miles was not affected at all. He didn't care. He even responded: "None of them have played with Tony Sue or LeBron James. I don't care what they say. I will know in five years."
Myers didn't care about the criticism, and indeed the basketball world didn't care what he went on to say.
The Lakers moved on to Oakland, where their opponent was the Golden State Warriors.
The Lakers won this back-to-back game easily. The Warriors do not have the foundation to challenge the Lakers. In all dimensions, they are far behind.
After all, the Warriors couldn't even beat the original Bulls.
Although they have Dampier, who claims to be the second center in the Western Conference, averaging 12+12 points per game. There is also dunk champion Jason Richardson who wears jersey No. 23.
It is worth mentioning that Richardson faced off against Su Feng for the entire quarter starting from the second quarter.
If Su Feng during the Bulls period just made him uncomfortable, he could not perform at his best. So now Su Feng has restricted his offense in all aspects. He is in good condition and can display his skills, but his efficiency has dropped sharply.
He thought it was an accident that Su Feng did not perform well in his first matchup.
But now, he realized that Su Feng could already be on an equal footing with him.
Moreover, he has improved rapidly on the defensive end.
Su Feng did not show offense in front of Richardson, he just kept forcing Richardson to attack the basket. Richardson is the dunk king, and Su Feng wants to use him to quickly improve the jumping talent he just copied from Miles.
Improved by 1 point.
Increased from 89 to 90.
Su Feng completed two dunks, a windmill and a back turn in the garbage time of the fourth quarter.
Although his jumping height is far from that of top dunk masters, his body is very stretched after opening up.
Two dunks made the Chinese fans in San Francisco scream loudly.
Su Feng has become the pride of the Chinese American community.
The Lakers eventually won the game easily, 123:100.
The Lakers won back-to-back games.
O'Neal's condition in this game was better than in the previous game. He played 25 points, scored 16 points and 12 rebounds, and his efficiency was amazing. Kobe Bryant played 31 points and scored 24 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, which was quite satisfactory. Su Feng played 35 minutes and scored 15 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 steals.
In the words of the Los Angeles media, the Big Three tried their best in a small way and won easily without losing a single blow.
After defeating the Warriors, the Lakers faced their biggest opponent on this road trip: the Sacramento Kings.
Since the King formed the complete Princeton system, its strength has skyrocketed.
Chris Webber, Divac, Brad Miller, Peja, Pristi, Bibby...this group of backbones brought Princeton to the extreme and became the most popular NBA player in the early 21st century with a mercury-like gorgeous offense. One of the teams.
Before this game started, the team believed that this game was not easy to play.
The Kings are very strong and in good shape, winning 4 of the last 5 games.
Moreover, since the Kings lost to the Lakers in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals in the 2001-2002 season, they have been particularly effective every time they beat the Lakers. They believed that series was blown away by unfair referee whistles. If the Kings made it to the Western Conference Finals that season, they would definitely lift the championship trophy. After all, their opponent in the Finals was the New Jersey Nets. The Lakers could beat them 4:0, and so could the Kings.
In this game, as predicted before the game, the Kings rushed very hard from the beginning of the game.
Su Feng faced off against Peja.
A top European striker.
His movement is very good, and his shooting has reached a super level.
Su Feng sometimes hit the basketball even though it was in his face.
He was the one who won this game, and the other one was Chris Webber, who completely dominated Karl Malone.
Although Chris Webber is considered to have declined in level, he still looks younger and more energetic against Malone. He is very versatile on the offensive end and often completes precise support from the high post.
The Lakers don't have a good solution to this.
Of course, the reason for the Lakers' failure wasn't just on the defensive end. The biggest problem is the offensive end, because there is an imbalance between Kobe and O'Neal.
Brad Miller gave O'Neal a lot of interference in the paint. The tough white center tried his best to push O'Neal, who had returned from injury, out of the penalty area. O'Neal continued to hit the ball.
Kobe stood up and criticized O'Neal at this time.
At that time, O'Neal even strangled Kobe's neck, but was separated by Su Feng.
Then, Kobe began to score goals on his own, without even giving Su Feng face.
Two people compete in blacksmithing.
Su Feng was unable to reconcile them.
The game eventually fell apart midway through the fourth quarter.
Su Feng watched from the bench as the Kings celebrated in the middle of the court, their silky offense earning ribbons flying across the court.
They are very united together and everyone is sharing the ball.
It's not a pleasant taste.
Back in the locker room, the mood in the locker room was even colder.
The rift created by Kobe and O'Neal spreads the low pressure like a plague.
Scottie Pippen said to Su Feng on the plane returning to Los Angeles: "You have to increase your strength faster. If the team makes a choice, you must take on more important tasks. I think even this season, the Lakers will win The championship, one of them will also be sent away.”
Pippen always thinks ahead for Su Feng.
Su Feng nodded, he was very grateful to Pippen.
The current situation of the Lakers is like a powerful and huge ship. However, everyone saw that there was an obvious crack on the deck. It had a high chance of reaching the end point not far away, but after reaching the point, many people would jump ship.
When arriving in Los Angeles, Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone came over to wish Su Feng a Happy Chinese New Year in advance.
Then, every player and every staff member came to express their blessings to Su Feng.
The icy low pressure has finally eased a bit.
When Su Feng said goodbye to Kobe, he said to Kobe: "The next game against the Rockets is our New Year's game. My parents will come to watch the game. We Chinese like to have a good start in the New Year. So... I want to get it Let’s win this victory.”
"Of course, I will fully support you. Tony!" Kobe said seriously: "I know your Chinese customs."
"I mean, we probably have to avoid a Satemento situation. Yao Ming is very disruptive in the paint and Shaq has to overcome him."
Su Feng said seriously.
He was worried that Kobe would be offended, so he was careful with his words.
"OK, I know what you want to say, Tony. As long as Shaq doesn't mess with me, I won't do anything to him on Chinese New Year. You all like to be happy on this day, I know." Kobe was very talkative.
He showed his understanding of Chinese culture, and of course showed more respect for Su Feng.
Su Feng expressed strong gratitude to him.
Kobe raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Happy New Year, Tony. Remember to prepare a red envelope for me."
ah?
Su Feng said with a smile: "Usually adults prepare red envelopes for children. Or young people prepare red envelopes for elders. Once you get married, there will be no red envelopes."
"OK, then I will prepare a red envelope for you. But if your girlfriend Scarlett comes to the stadium, I will ask my daughter to ask for a red envelope from you."
The two chatted about their daily life and then said goodbye.
Su Feng drove to the airport.
At the airport, he received his parents who had come all the way across the ocean.
They were excited to see their son.
Hugs at the airport.
Su Feng drove them to the city. Su's father and mother had endless things to say, sharing their family's shortcomings with Su Feng.
"My second uncle's child was admitted to Tsinghua University."
"My uncle contracted the factory canteen, but he received kickbacks and was scolded by your father."
"Grandma misses you so much that she specially prepared a red envelope for you."
"Everyone said that you married a foreign wife and asked you to take her back to see her when you have time."
"..."
Although Su Feng didn't want to talk about some topics in depth, it was a kind of happiness to listen to his parents chatting about home life. Especially for people like Su Feng who are drifting away.
Dad Su then talked about his factory and he was very proud. He said that he had introduced the country's first fully automatic equipment line. He also said that the factory was very profitable and could receive endless orders. He planned to continue to expand operations next year.
Su Feng listened all the way and was very happy.
Only in front of his parents did he return to his unfettered state.
The car quickly drove down to the community. As soon as it parked, it saw Lindsay Lohan getting out of the car next door wearing a red Tang suit.
"Happy New Year."
When Lindsay Lohan saw Su Feng's parents, she immediately made a standard 'Gong Xi Fa Cai gift' and said in a smooth tone: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."
Father Su and Mother Su were startled, thinking that this girl spoke really good Chinese.
The two also greeted Lindsay Lohan politely and said Happy New Year.
However, Father Su soon frowned. He turned around and whispered to Su Feng: "Son, isn't this girl the little Disney princess in the news who was beaten to tears by you?"
Su Feng nodded and said: "It was a misunderstanding, but it was solved later. She is my downstairs neighbor. We often play video games together. Sometimes she will cook me some food, and I will share it with her. Some. Good friends."
That's it.
Father Su suddenly realized.
Over there, Sue’s mother has been chatting with Lindsay Lohan.
Su's mother speaks English very well, and Lindsay Lohan showed unprecedented tenderness and consideration. She showed a strong affinity. There was only a distance of 30 meters from the parking lot to the elevator, and they were already holding hands.
After entering the elevator, the two of them were still chatting enthusiastically.
Dad Su has been dealing with foreign trade a lot recently, and his English level has skyrocketed.
"You look particularly good in this dress, like... a beautiful doll."
"We wanted a daughter very much. When Su Feng was in her mother's belly, we all thought it was a girl."
Su’s father jumped out word by word.
However, it does not affect communication.
Everyone understands it.
Just like when foreigners speak Chinese, it's not that important whether the grammar is correct, and it's normal to have an accent.
As long as you dare to speak, half the battle is won.
The elevator moved upwards, and the four people in the elevator really seemed like a close family.
