All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 274: When a meteor breaks through the night sky of Toronto
On the 9th, the Canadian Route Center Arena.
In the new season, after the Raptors blasted the entire Northern Territory like a mushroom egg, the Raptors, which once had less than 50% attendance at home, are now hard to find.
Looking at the scattered tickets that were fired before the game, the Raptors fans holding the team tickets now feel that they are making a lot of money.
Tonight, Raptors owner Chad personally came to supervise the game. As a result, when he entered the arena, Chad was in a trance, always having the illusion that he was walking in the wrong place.
Listen to the cheers like a mountain, like a tsunami.
Look, the dense, colorful crowd.
"Is this really our home court?"
In the stands, Chad said to himself tremblingly after looking around the scene.
In other words, in addition to the nationwide live broadcast of this focus battle between the Raptors and the 76ers, Datianchao TV also broadcasted the game.
Before the game, during the preview, Director Zhang smiled: "Tsk, it's really lively today. It seems that the fans on the scene can't wait to see Su Feng and Jordan's performance later. "
On the side, Director Sun also said: "In the new season, the NBA has relevant ratings statistics showing that the Raptors' previous two away games have broken the NBA's ratings record."
"This is what I often say, as long as your game is good, your popularity will naturally be high.
And now the Raptors are not only good games, they can win. "Instructor Zhang added.
"Huh? The Raptors actually arranged McGrady to play the starting lineup tonight?
Is Coach Davis planning to swing from the start of the game? "When noticing the starting roster of the two teams tonight, Director Sun said curiously.
"Others may not dare to line up like this, but in Davis's eyes, he is going to use this swing method to gain the advantage of dislocation on the court." Instructor Zhang analyzed.
After a pause, Director Zhang went on to say: "It seems that the absolute height of the Raptors is not high, but if you look closely at their average height, they are basically swingers with a height of about two meters.
In this way, in the game, it is easy for them to play their Aggressive through some simple pick-and-roll cooperation on the front line. "
"So that's it! Thank you for the wonderful comments of Director Zhang." Although he didn't understand much, Director Sun still held the venue and gave a thumbs up to Director Zhang.
And shortly after the analysis by the director Zhang, the players of the two teams also finished their warm-ups and were ready to start the entry ceremony.
I have to say that compared to the 76ers’ home DJ, the Raptors’ home DJ is indeed a bit Low...
You said that when you introduced Boss Joe, you only used a 24th Jordan to introduce. This sounds like, I don’t know, I thought you were introducing the little Jordan in the future...
Su Feng has made up his mind. He plans to go to Davis to respond to this after the game is over.
As the saying goes, life has a sense of ritual.
In Su Feng's opinion, like this kind of opening introduction, if even Tracy's brother, a tool that is still invaluable, can't be introduced for less than 30 seconds, then why should DJ go home and sell sweet potatoes?
Of course, although the sense of ritual was a bit bad, when it was Su Feng and Jordan's turn to make their debut, the whole arena still climaxed instantly.
No way, for the Raptors fans who now have Gundams, where do they need bicycles?
You know, Raptors fans, now they even wake up from dreaming.
On the court, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, on the Raptors side, Ben, Su Feng, Carter, McGrady, and Jordan stepped onto the main stage talking and laughing.
In stark contrast to the "relaxed" team atmosphere of the Raptors, this season, the 76ers are basically playing games with a straight face.
After Su Feng left the team, under the management of Brown, who has become more and more rigorous in his military management, the current atmosphere of the 76ers can only be described as serious.
In the middle circle, Ratliff, who signed a big contract with the 76ers not long ago, always has a sense of seeing himself in the team training before preparing to jump the ball with Big Ben.
On the other side, after noticing the Raptors' starting five tonight, Snow, the 76ers' defensive tool...
But I don't know who I should guard against in a while.
You said...
If Snow goes to defend McGrady, he can't let Iverson go against Carter, right?
But if Snow goes to guard against Carter, how can Iverson guard against McGrady?
Although Snow is not afraid of being beaten as an excellent defender, but...
The big brother he wants to protect, Iverson has a bunch of "crit suits".
So, without knowing who he should guard against, Snow had to look at Christie for help.
Just...
The same concern as Snow is that Christie, who was still playing for the Raptors last season, is also unfamiliar with the Raptors.
Originally, Christie was quite happy when he was traded to Philadelphia as a bargaining chip before.
Because even if he has a good time in Toronto, in Christie's opinion, it is better to go to Philadelphia to play the playoffs.
However...
After seeing the new season's Raptors soaring into the sky, Christie admitted that he was sour.
"Eric, go and defend Vince, I think Allen should be able to deal with Tracy."
Of course, sourness is sourness, and this life is still something to live on.
Therefore, after a calm analysis of the situation, in Christie’s view, under the premise that neither he nor Snow can perform avatars, they can only keep the swingman with the smallest card on the Raptors side. To Iverson.
On the 76ers’ bench, unlike Christie, Snow and others who are worried about their big brother’s defense, Larry Brown is not surprised after seeing the five starting points of John Davis. , I even want to laugh.
John, is this your trick?
In Brown’s view, Johnson’s lineup has no advantage in height.
Before the game, Brown, who had carefully studied the Raptors, believed that the reason why the Raptors were able to dominate in New York before was entirely because Van Gundy's defense lacked pertinence.
Moreover, Ewing's bad state also made the Knicks lose their winning magic weapon that could have hammered the Raptors.
But how can the light of fireflies compete with Haoyue?
In the defense zone composed of Ratliff and Willis, in Brown's intracranial rehearsal, even if Sukamacjo and others opened up, it was impossible to easily enter.
So, as long as the 76ers can protect the penalty area, why are they afraid of the Raptors?
In addition, on the offensive end, just relying on big money, in terms of rebounding, why do the Raptors fight the 76ers?
So, to sum up, if it wasn't for being too steady, then in Brown's eyes, the game could even be declared over in advance.
"Young people, still young people after all."
Larry Brown sneered and shook his head while looking at Davis, who was completely "unstable" on the bench next door.
At this moment when Brown issued the "Death Sentence Notice" to the Raptors, on the court, as the referee threw the ball in the middle circle, this high-profile focus battle kicked off. .
Slap————!
In the jump ball, Ratliff defeated his fellow friend Big Ben, and jumped for the 76ers' first goal.
Snow dribbled the ball through half-court calmly.
I have to say that for the 76ers’ first offense tonight, you can see that they are "old positions".
On the court, Snow, who was given the "old hooligan" personal protection treatment, did not dare to neglect. His trembling expression seemed to be afraid that the basketball in his hand would be taken away by Jordan in the next second.
But actually...
The current Jordan has no problem defending from inside, but it is a paper tiger to defend against outside.
After spending a lot of time waiting for Iverson to move, Iverson singled out Tracy McGrady on the wing for the 76ers' first attack.
Although Tracey’s brother is very serious about defending the ball, Iverson wants to sway him, but it is no different from drinking water.
Just...
At the moment Iverson shook McGrady, he said that it was too late and that time, Su Feng moved ahead of time and completed a perfect defense for McGrady.
As the tallest existence of the Raptors on the court, Su Feng is very clear, expecting McGrady to prevent Iverson's breakthrough is not realistic at all.
But here comes the problem.
For the 76ers and the Raptors' forward swingmen on the court, will there be any psychological burden of worrying about leaking?
Originally, Christie made a big three-pointer in the Raptors last season.
But this season, the first two games combined, this guy also threw a total of 3 three-pointers.
You said that with this degree of perimeter threat, how about the Raptors letting the 76ers shoot?
"Hey, Su Feng's defense is too crucial. Iverson happened to be stuck in the breakthrough line." CCTV, Director Zhang said.
"After all, Su Feng and Iverson have been teammates for two years. Not only do you know how deep you are, but I also know how long you are." On the side, Director Sun agreed.
On the court, after Iverson was blocked by Su Feng, don’t look at Iverson’s smile this season as much as last season, but Su Feng would not doubt Iverson’s fighting spirit.
For this ball, after twisting the dribble twice, Iverson successfully grabbed the shot.
Unfortunately, under the interference of Su Feng's long arm, the ball finally deviated from the basket.
When--!
In the penalty area, in the eyes of Brown, the taller Ratliff and Willis also failed to grab this offensive rebound.
Be aware that a swingman lineup like the Raptors can also do a good job of protecting rebounds.
There is a saying that Riley may have a problem, but his judgment is absolutely correct.
The five swingers are indeed, in a sense, the most unsolvable lineup on the basketball court.
Using quick back defenses, assisting defenses, on the court tonight, it is not just the big guy who is responsible for rebounding.
All five of Suka McCormick have good rebound protection ability, and the athletic ability of these five people is even more exaggerated than one. Therefore, even if Willis and Ratliff have a high advantage, in Sky City , They also have to accept air traffic control.
In Toronto, whether it can fly or not, the Raptors have the final say.
On the 76ers bench, Brown didn't feel any surprise after Iverson missed the first attack.
In this basketball philosophy, it doesn’t matter whether the offense can be scored or not.
Look, just how fast the 76ers retreat tonight. You said the Raptors used their heads for fast break?
However...
Who told Brown that this Raptors can only play fast break?
After Carter protected the rebound, Jordan was responsible for the dribble for the half-court.
Because he agreed to Su Feng's relationship before the game, Jordan handed the ball to Tracy McGrady without hesitation after observing the situation on the court at random.
Tonight, according to the pre-match arrangement, the Raptors have only one tactic.
That's who will confront Iverson and who will attack.
On the bench of the Raptors, when Nash, who was used as the target of the exercise by Suka Maijo in the training class yesterday, saw this scene, he secretly wiped the unsuspecting tears from the corner of his eye.
As the saying goes, only defensive black holes can understand defensive black holes.
Iverson can hardly defend himself, can he still cap McGrady, who is more than 20 cm taller than him?
Fighting Iverson, McGrady also broke with a hammer.
Bang——!
On the field, after hitting Iverson, McGrady, who had knocked out his shot space, opened his hand.
During the suspension period, under Su Feng’s guidance, McGrady’s current dry pull success rate still needs to be improved, but McGrady’s shooting posture is full of maple flavors.
Why——!
For this ball, with almost no interference, McGrady, who switched to training mode, successfully threw the ball into the basket.
0 to 2.
On the sidelines, Brown is a little dissatisfied now.
But...
The problem is not big.
Because Brown had carefully studied the player Tracy McGrady before the game, in his opinion, Tracy McGrady was impossible to kill the 76ers.
Okay...
There is a black one, and Brown's judgment is indeed correct.
Because of the current McGrady, he really can't vote for the 76ers.
Unlike Nash's pure defensive black hole, Iverson's defense belongs to the one that he can resist.
So, under the premise that Iverson can’t lie down like Nash, Tracy’s younger brother, who still needs to be leveled now, is indeed Cui compared to Carter, who can still fight alongside Su Joe. Brother West.
But...
Who told Brown that McGrady is going to kill the 76ers tonight?
On the court, after Iverson missed two consecutive attacks, the Raptors counterattacked. This time, after getting the ball from Jordan, McGrady took Iverson to a high position and completed a shift with Jordan. Bit.
No way, Christie, who is in charge of guarding Jordan, cannot fail to change his defense.
Because Jordan, who weighs 107 kg, is solid in the pick and roll, even if you let Christie's wife whip him, he can't knock him off.
So...
A cruel scene appeared.
Jordan, who is more than 20 kilograms heavier than Iverson, drives Iverson all the way from the top arc...
Because Su Feng, Carter and Tracy McGrady all have a certain outside range, so when Jordan cruelly ravaged Iverson, the 76ers' outside players dared not come to help defend.
As for insiders...
Just when Willis and Ratliff felt that Jordan had entered the range of their help defense, as the **** of singles, Jordan explained with strength, what is meant by even the opportunity to defend defense.
What a handsome look back?
One blow, just talk about the handsomeness of backwards, Jordan really has about 70% of Su Feng's skills.
Why——!
0 to 4.
As soon as the Raptors came up, they scored two consecutive attacks.
"It seems that the Raptors are determined to attack Iverson's side." CCTV, Director Sun said.
"Iverson is uncomfortable. In the past, in the Raptors, Su Feng always helped him defend, but now, Snow and Christie are obviously not spiritual enough in defense." Aside, Director Zhang commented .
I have to say that Zhang Weiping's guidance is the truth again.
Because if Su Feng and Iverson continue to be on the same team, even if future opponents also put up such a swingman lineup to play against the 76ers, Su Feng will also help Iverson flanking and defending.
The match where Su Feng and Iverson jointly sanctioned Payton was a classic case.
To put it bluntly, since you want to play four guarantees one, the other four people besides one must be aware of sacrifice at any time.
Otherwise, what sort of four guarantees did you play?
On the court, Iverson did not make a third attack.
It was Carter who helped defend him this time.
Although Carter's angle was not as tight as Su Feng's defensive angle when defending, Iverson, who was stunned by Joe's boss just now, still couldn't find the ball.
On the court, the game continued, and this time, after McGrady protected the rebound, suddenly, Tracy’s brother accelerated and directly started the backcourt one-stop mode.
The classic scene came when McGrady brought the ball to the frontcourt and was hit by a retired 76ers player.
As Nash said before.
To pass this bunch of swingers requires a ghost passing talent.
Many times, you just need to throw the ball into the sky, and leave the rest to them to solve by themselves.
Of course...
If the passer is Su Feng, it's another matter.
Canadian route center, this is the connection between Su and Mai!
As the two people with the highest "speed talent" in Toronto, who said that playing the 76ers can't make a 7-second fast break?
Don't use your tactics to understand my talent!
Along with opening his body stretched in the air, Su Feng, who grabbed the ball with one hand before Ratliff with his arms span, slammed the basketball into the hoop!
At this moment, there seemed to be a meteor passing by over Toronto.
Jie is the legendary...
————Meteor Slam Dunk!
Bang, huh—!
For Raptors fans who have never seen the market, at the moment Su Feng smashed the ball into the basket, you said that besides chanting the American version of "Feng Ge Niu Bi" for Su Feng, they What else can I do?
The Raptors owner Chad can no longer remain calm.
At this moment, this product is even better than Cuban.
On the court, Ratliff, who was shot down by Su Feng, had an inexplicable fear of a person for the second time in his life.
Looking at Su Feng’s beast-like eyes, watching Su Feng’s iron fist hammering his chest, after Su Feng continued to beat his chest and feet, and screamed from the sky...
Ratliff is definitely the one who felt Su Feng's anger first on the 76ers' side.
At the same time, on the bench for the Raptors, the two sons of Curry were robbing the scene again...
Stephen and Seth, imitating Su Feng's celebration, took the limelight from all the Raptors' substitutes on the sidelines.
In the next twenty years~IndoMTL.com~ When reviewing this game, I noticed the barrage of this scene. The most talked about, without exception:
"It turns out that the Raptors' bench does not deserve to have a name, it's not without reason!"
And on the court...
From planning the game before the game, until now...
Although Larry Brown’s expression is still calm and his hands have been around his chest, after Su Feng used this meteor slam dunk to ignite the atmosphere of the game, Brown’s heart... ..
It's starting to feel a little bit empty.
Well, that is, Su Feng is busy showing his brutality, and has no time to take care of Brown's inner drama.
Otherwise, Su Feng would definitely say to him:
Don't worry about it, brother Die, the good show is yet to come!
