All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 589: Know yourself and the enemy! (Four thousand characters small
Since the Toronto Farewell that year, Su Feng could not have imagined that he and John Davis would meet in the finals in such a dramatic way.
As of now, the Heat and Mavericks have both 12-0 in the playoffs this year.
Before the game, among the predictions given by the major media, some were optimistic about the Heat and some were optimistic about the Mavericks.
Experts who are optimistic about the Heat believe that Su Feng's state is really too hot this season, especially after O'Neal joined the Heat, the combination of the strongest offensive force in the history of the NBA has not yet existed. The opponent can crack.
The experts who are optimistic about the Mavericks believe that the Mavericks overall lineup is more solid.
In addition to Nowitzki, this Mavericks team also has Finley, Howard and Terry who can stand up and share the output for him.
According to the schedule, the G1 finals of the two teams will start on the evening of June 8.
Because the 232 format is adopted in the finals at this time, it is very important for the Heat to defend their first two home courts.
On the Internet, many Heat fans complained that with the continuous development and progress of the times, the NBA Finals format should also be synchronized with the divisional playoffs.
Otherwise, in this way, the side with a better record in the regular season will have no advantage at all under this format.
At first, the 232 format was adopted in the NBA Finals mainly because the East and West of the United States are far apart.
The transportation at that time was not as convenient as it is today.
In addition to the 232 system, when the strength of the east and the west is tilted, the weaker side can take some advantage, so the 232 system is retained.
But, as the fans have reported to the NBA on the Internet.
In today's highly developed traffic, the 232 format is obviously outdated.
In New York, Stern, who realized that the NBA really should keep pace with the times, decided to officially change the format of the Finals to the 22111 format when the team owners came to the league meeting in the summer.
And Miami, a few days before the finals, in order to ensure that the Heat can successfully win the first two games in the finals...
Riley hardly even sleeps much.
Speak out you may not believe it.
In the past two days, Riley has used five notebooks just to study the Mavericks' game videos this season.
In Riley's view, no matter how successful the Heat have been this season before the finals...
As long as it fails to win the final championship, it will be a complete failure for this Heat.
Because after trading the team's future back for O'Neal...
At the moment, this Heat can only hold on to today...
Only qualified to think about tomorrow.
In addition to Riley, O'Neal also suffered from insomnia for several consecutive nights before the finals.
As we all know, so far, O'Neal has reached the finals 6 times in his career.
However, the heartbreaking thing is...
In these 6 Finals, O'Neal’s team was swept out four times.
So...
Looking at the comments on the Internet who believe that the Heat will lose because they become soft-footed shrimp in the finals...
Do you know how flustered this fat-headed fish is now?
In O'Neill's view, if he can't win the championship this year...
Then no matter how thick-skinned he is, maybe he has to retire.
"Relax, Shaq!
Be aware that, of all of us, you are the most experienced player in the Finals.
Why are you the most nervous now? "
The day before the game, in the last training session of the Heat, Su Feng couldn't help but vomit when looking at O'Neal, who couldn't help shaking even when he walked.
And heard that...
O'Neal, who always liked to have some humor in training before, can't say a word?
Yes...
Of all the current players in the Heat, his experience in the Finals is the most abundant.
But that TM is basically the experience of being beaten.
Whenever...
If O'Neal can win one less runner-up and one more championship, how can he be so restless at the moment?
"I can roughly guess how John will target me in the finals.
So Shaq, if you really don’t want to become the Sixth Asian King, I think you should now focus on tomorrow night’s game. "Patting O'Neill on the back, Su Feng said to him.
In the eyes of Su Feng, in the finals, when facing himself, only two players on this Mavericks team could match himself.
One is Howard with long arms and legs.
The other is Finley, nicknamed "Slum Jordan."
So, Su Feng, who knows all about Davis, knows very well that Davis will definitely stagger the playing time of the two men by then and send them to take turns to resist the pressure.
In the regular season, Su Feng played against Finley and Howard respectively.
The result was hit...
These two air defenses are definitely impossible to prevent yourself from death.
But compared with O'Neal's huge advantage when facing Chandler...
Su Feng knows that how to make good use of O'Neal is the key to whether the Heat can win the finals this year.
"Don't worry, Sue...I'm just a little anxious.
But Tyson...
Even if I am in a wheelchair, I can easily blow him up. "Looking down at Su Feng, O'Neill said.
Su Feng's previous life, in the playoffs of the 05/06 season, when facing Chandler, O'Neal had a 30-0 crushing performance.
For many fans who watch the game late...
In Su Feng’s memory, he has always won the Mavericks in the future...
People just realized how good Chandler really is.
But actually...
The "boxing champion" is already very popular right now.
It's just that, in this version where Shark Buddha and Yao Jun are at their peak...
No matter how well Chandler plays, it will only be ignored by people.
You must know that in this year's finals, the reason why Su Feng didn't plan to be obsessed with individual singles was because Chandler's defense would make him uncomfortable playing on the court.
In my memory, Su Feng didn't want to eat the losses that his successor had suffered.
So, after seeing that this fat-headed fish did not lose his confidence due to recent anxiety, Su Feng immediately felt relieved.
"But Sue...you confirm that in the finals, do I really want to slow down my withdrawal in accordance with the requirements of the BOSS?"
On the field, after taking a deep breath, looking at Su Feng, O'Neal asked with a bewildered look.
In O'Neal’s memory, in the Lakers era, although Jackson would not criticize him for retreating too slowly on the court, he still asked him not to rush to retreat...
He heard it for the first time.
These days, in the Heat's team training, the most practiced tactic by the Heat is the quick retreat of the four.
Because Su Feng knew that Davis, an old coin, would definitely use fast rotation to increase O'Neal's exercise on the court.
Actually, compared with the so-called "shark slashing tactics", this is the "core technology" that the Raptors could sneak O'Neal on the court.
So, after discussing with Riley, Su Feng believes that with Haslem, Butler, Payton and their own partners, the Heat does not need to require O'Neal's retreat speed to keep up with the small Bull's offensive speed.
Because...
No matter how fast and the ultimate conversion attack, it is impossible to break through the iron-blooded battle formation composed of Su Feng, Haslem, Butler, and Payton in an instant.
So, as long as the Heat can give O'Neal enough time to retire, then this fathead will be able to avoid being beaten.
"Shaq...Isn't the training these days enough to reassure you?" Su Feng smiled while looking up at O'Neill.
And after hearing this, O'Neill nodded and said: "Indeed.
As long as you are here...
In my opinion, even Kobe wouldn't dare to bite the bullet and force a shot in front of you. "
Su Feng: "..."
Uh...
One to say one.
If it's Kobe...
From Su Feng's point of view, he still has the courage to force a shot in front of him.
Ah, let's talk about business.
In the training hall, on this day, after helping O'Neal adjust his emotions, Su Feng also had an additional training with Haslem alone.
Because Haslem will play Nowitzki in this year's finals, so these days, Su Feng has also taken on the important task of teaching Haslem's knack for defending this German tank.
It's just...
Although Haslem's defensive understanding these days makes Su Feng very satisfied...
But since this little driver has mastered the unique skill of "Golden Rooster Independence"...
In Su Feng's opinion...
Haslem's task in this year's finals is mainly responsible for being beaten.
Because now...
In this league, it is impossible for anyone to completely limit Nowitzki's offense.
Different from the contemporary Duncan and Garnett...
If these two brothers are representatives who can attack and defend well.
That Nowitzki, even if the defense only has 50 points, he can rely on a 99-point offense to get himself into the Hall of Fame.
In the pre-match discussions with Riley, Su Feng did not let Riley deliberately target Nowitzki.
Because instead of having that time...
Why not take more time to think about how to magnify Nowitzki's weaknesses on the defensive end.
……
On the evening of the 8th, Miami, the 2004/2005 NBA Finals officially kicked off at the American Airlines Center.
Heat staff held a grand appearance ceremony for the Heat.
On the court, when it was the Heat's turn to play, the 20,000 fans stood up together, igniting the atmosphere of the entire arena with white waves of people.
On the sidelines, a large number of American celebrities and Hollywood stars present tonight also formed a beautiful landscape.
Before the game, while chatting with Davis, Su Feng teased that Davis became thinner, and Davis responded. This is because for the past year, he has been thinking about how to do it. Beat this Heat.
"As early as the beginning of the season, I knew that if you want to win the championship, you have to pass your level." Davis smiled, patting Su Feng on the shoulder.
And after hearing this, Su Feng knew that if it was someone else, then maybe it was a compliment...
But Davis' words...
Su Feng could hear that he believed from the very beginning that the Heat will surely rise under his own leadership.
You know, in October last year, few experts in North America at that time dared to be optimistic about the Heat.
So Su Feng is also very curious. After thinking about it for a whole year, Davis has come up with a way to target himself.
On the field, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, the large circular screen hanging above the dome of the American Airlines Center immediately gave the starting list of the two teams tonight.
Mavericks: Chandler, Nowitzki, Howard, Finley, Kidd.
Heat: O'Neal, Haslem, Su Feng, Butler, Payton.
In the center of the field, O'Neal and Chandler jumped the ball to start the match amidst the cheers of the fans.
In the future, the "boxing champion" who dared to go fishing by the river with his own hooks was obviously a little bit embarrassed when facing O'Neill tonight...
Because even if his thing is 28 centimeters, he can't catch O'Neill, who weighs close to 150 kilograms.
However...
On the court, at the moment when Su Feng just received the ball from Payton to him...
Looking at the defender who appeared in front of him tonight, Su Feng couldn't help but stunned.
Not Josh Howard.
Nor is Michael Finley.
but...
Jason Kidd.
Kid, who is 193 cm tall, has the strength of a small forward.
At the same time, his speed was also top-notch before he experienced a major injury.
So, in Davis's opinion...
In this Mavericks team, there is no more suitable to resist pressure than Kidd.
Because of the stamina of Howard and Finley...
That is the key to ensuring that they can relieve Nowitzki from scoring pressure.
"You know what, I thought for a whole year, but I couldn't figure out how to deal with Sue." On the sidelines, at the same time, turning his head to look at Mike Brown, Davis sighed , Said.
"But I know...
When facing Sue, the most stupid behavior is to put too much defensive force on him. "After a pause, Davis added.
Now, Mike Brown suddenly felt ashamed by Davis.
Because...
In Brown's eyes...
When facing a player of Su Feng's level...
Shouldn't it be your best player to play against him?
"Su has a physical ability different from ordinary people.
When I was still teaching the Raptors, the Celtics suffered a lot from him. "
As the one who knows Su Feng best in this alliance...
Davis knows that regardless of the Mavericks' defense against Su Feng in this round of the Finals, the Mavericks will not be able to control Su Feng for seven games.
Moreover, if I really use Howard and Finley to take turns to resist pressure...
At that time...
These two people will definitely be tortured by Su Feng until they lose their original offensive rhythm.
In Davis's view, when the Celtics faced the Raptors, the most unsuccessful strategy was to use Ray Allen to confront Su Feng when Artest was off the field.
Because at that time, Lei Allen's physical energy was slowly exhausted by Su Feng.
So, after learning the lessons from the past...
Kidd.
This is the answer Davis gave Su Feng tonight.
On the field, after smiling...
Su Feng said to Kidd with emotion on his face: "I knew there was a possibility tonight.
Just...
I didn't expect that John would really do that~IndoMTL.com~what an international joke.
Since Davis is a "general master" trained by himself...
How could Su Feng not expect that Davis would arrange Kidd to defend himself in the finals?
It's just...
Su Feng didn't count...
Davis will arrange it this way from the beginning.
Sure enough...
In this league, it has been improving...
It's never just me.
On the court, after two shots of basketball, Su Feng immediately called O'Neal to make a wall for himself.
