All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 387: The best games need the best players
As the saying goes, education has to start with the baby.
During the intermission, in order to prevent Stephen Curry from following in the footsteps of Artest and Pierce in the future, before returning to the locker room to rest, Su Feng and Curry joined hands with Stephen Curry, who was only 11 years old at the time. Five minutes of ideological education.
By the way, Stephen Curry, who "would rather die than surrender", planned to fight the evil dad and Uncle Melon to the end.
But under the carrot-and-stick offensive of Lao Kuli "halving pocket money" and Su Feng "doubling pocket money"...
What do you think young Stephen Curry can do besides surrendering?
Farewell, my dear Uncle Vince!
From today, from this moment on, you will never hear Stephen Curry cheering you!
"Seth, I actually felt that Uncle Melon's dunks were better than Uncle Vince's dunks from a very early time. Do you think so?" The Raptors' bench in the back row decided to start again. Stephen Curry looked at his brother Seth Curry and said.
Seth: "..."
Look at the sky!
So this is the power of money?
In the dressing room of the Raptors, after reversing Stephen Curry’s beliefs contentedly...
Tonight, Su Feng once again felt the "stink" of money.
However, compared to gaining the little fan of Stephen Curry, what Su Feng cares more about right now is how to win the G1 game against the Celtics.
Be aware that after the first half of the game tonight, without even Su Feng mobilizing, the other Raptors players have already felt the pressure of this round of the Eastern Conference.
Obviously, compared with last year, this year's Celtics are very close to the current Raptors in terms of strength and form.
From the personnel matchup point of view, in the first half of the game, McGrady's advantage over Marbury was still obvious.
But through high-speed rotation to assist in defense, it is difficult for McGrady, who has not reached the peak at this time, to complete Marbury one-on-one.
And back, McGrady's weakness on the defensive end was exposed when facing Ma Deng's almost unsolvable pick and roll.
Due to the high center of gravity, McGrady's ankle was tested throughout the first half.
So, in this way, the matchup between McGrady and Marbury turned into a 50-50 matchup.
The same goes for Carter and Ray Allen.
In the offensive, relying on the arrogant and unreasonable physique crushed, Ray Allen would be wiped out by Carter if he didn't pay attention when defending Carter.
But on the other hand, Ray Allen's running position can always make Carter, who is easy to lose focus on defense, take care of one another.
After the end of the first half, Davis knew very well that compared to the Celtics, the Raptors now have only a substitute.
However, because of the playoffs, everyone generally chooses to kill the main force, so how much energy can the Raptors substitute in this series...
In Davis's view, it all depends on whether the Raptors can survive the first few games of this series.
Because the situation in this round of the playoffs has become clearer with the decisions taken by the two teams in this round of the playoffs.
The Raptors chose to allow more substitute players to join this round of the Eastern Conference Finals rotation, which not only allows the main players to maintain excellent physical conditions, but also leaves more possibilities for the next game .
Although the Celtics are trying to rest their main players as much as possible, they don’t have as many tools as the Raptors, so in this round of playoffs, as long as the Raptors can play back, then, The Raptors will have the upper hand.
"John, I am not questioning your decision, but in this way, if our bench can't withstand the pressure of the game, can we really wait for the next decisive battle with the Celtics?"
In the locker room of the Raptors, D'Antoni expressed his doubts as he looked at John Davis with confidence on his face.
In fact, D'Antoni was the most determined "death force" on the Raptors before the start of this series.
Because in D'Antoni's view, it is impossible for the Celtics, who have just played six games with the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, to have the physical advantage in the first two games.
Therefore, D'Antoni believes that the Raptors should seize the opportunity to quickly win the first two games with the strongest lineup and establish the advantage of this series in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, Davis did not follow D'Antoni’s suggestion.
Because Davis knows very well that although D'Antoni's proposal is feasible, the risk that the Raptors will take on this year's championship journey will only be higher.
Also, who said the Raptors' bench can't stand the Celtics?
After the intermission, Davis patted D'Antoni on the shoulder and smiled confidently: "Mike, did you know that if we don't have Sue, then I will definitely take your advice."
Hearing that, following the direction of Davis's finger, D'Antoni looked at Raptors No. 23, who was already on the court.
At the same time, on the Celtics bench, Auerbach, who has already returned to the court by the Raptors coaching staff, is now looking back and forth at Su Feng.
Su Feng, what kind of player is he?
Actually, even if Auerbach chooses one of O'Neill, Duncan and Su Feng at this moment, Auerbach will definitely choose O'Neill or Duncan instead of Su Feng.
But if you want to say, among these three, Auerbach does not want to be the Celtics opponent...
Nauerbach will definitely choose Su Feng.
On the court, after the intermission, the game continues.
Boom, boom, boom.
As soon as he came up, Su Feng used his solid muscles on the flanks to educate Artest again.
As early as last year when he helped Boss Qiao recover, Su Feng learned from Boss Joe the correct way to use power.
Holding the chaos and recklessly, that's the trick that children use when fighting.
In Su Feng's view, the real back fight actually relies on wave after wave without repetitive rhythm.
Young Artest couldn’t stop Su Feng’s routine, because as a back-beating pie, as soon as Artest guessed Su Feng’s next move, Su Feng was already a step ahead of Artest. Completed his next move.
Why——!
A delicate back jumper.
52 to 59.
This is the 21st point that Su Feng scored this night.
And back, the Celtics attacked, Duncan also under the attack of Big Ben and O'Neal, successfully divided the ball to his inside partner Peter Tapan.
Bang, huh.
54 to 59.
TNT TV station, Kenny Smith said with emotion: "Tonight, Sue and Tim have played the style of star players. To be honest, this round of the finals seems to me, no matter what the outcome, Sue and Tim are both Worthy of a ticket to the finals."
On the side, Derek echoed: "But unfortunately, there is only one such ticket."
Competitive sports, perhaps the cruelest place is here.
Because no matter how good your performance and performance have been before, only one team will have the last laugh.
In the Airline Center Arena, after Su Feng’s high jumper knocked out, the Raptors fans at the scene can no longer remember, when was the last time they were as nervous as tonight..... .
Fortunately, in turn, O'Neal and Big Ben finally managed to defend Duncan once.
Due to the cleverness of the pinch time taken by Big Ben at the last moment, Duncan was unable to choose the ball at the first time.
So, before being blown offensively for three seconds, Duncan had to use his signature grandfather hook to hook the ball to the rebound.
However, the rebound did not heed Duncan's call this time.
After O'Neal protected the rebound, the Raptors took advantage of the situation to push back.
It's just that, as fast as the Raptors push back, the Celtics will retreat.
When--!
On the court, Carter's counterattack failed to hit a three-pointer under Ray Allen's interference.
And then, Marbury's high jumper after the pick and roll also deviated from the basket.
In the third quarter, after the break, the players of the two teams obviously hadn't found the first half of the game.
In addition, because defense affects the shooting percentage, the shooting stability of the shooters has declined after the two teams have more and more physical contact.
In the NBA, especially in the playoffs, the reason why the game becomes a turn-based game most of the time is because in the playoffs, in order to pursue stability and reduce errors, everyone will correspondingly reduce pass and cut cooperation. .
In the first half of the third quarter, with both teams maintaining a high degree of focus on the defensive end, it was not until 8 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter that Su Feng personally broke the deadlock on the field. .
Maple is so handsome.
On the court, watching Su Feng's "helpless" expression after scoring a goal, at this moment, if reason hadn't prevailed, then Artest would definitely have to initiate a Marquego against Su Feng. Unable to pull.
Of course, Artest may not believe it...
Su Feng's "helplessness" is really not a pretense.
Because the ghost knows, on this night, how much did Su Feng lose?
"Come on, don't give up!" When retiring, Su Feng did not forget to encourage Artai.
Artest: "..."
There is a saying, in the eyes of Artai, seniors like Su Feng are not too bad in character.
However, how did the young Artest know that Su Feng was really serious about encouraging him?
Be aware that, compared with the Han Han who was only worth a few thousand strikes at the beginning of the season, the matchmaking strikes given to Su Feng by Artest are almost 10,000.
So, for such an excellent junior, it is too late for Su Feng to "love" him. How could he bully him out of his previous "disrespectful" revenge for him?
To put it bluntly, after retiring from the old hooligans, Su Feng found that now, including the next one or two years, especially when most of the outside players in the league are still at this stage of growth, there is no way for him to gain progress in iron scores. Compared with the old hooligan who is still there
So, as a man determined to surpass Michael Jordan, in Su Feng's view, it is time for him to help these outside stars to accelerate their growth.
Beep——!
On the court, after the Celtics also broke the deadlock by Duncan, in turn, Su Feng used Artest’s dislocation in the offense to successfully create Artest’s foul.
It's worth mentioning that when he got to the free throw line, Su Feng also pointed out to Artest his shortcomings in defense.
Artest: "..."
This...
Is this guy teaching me to do things?
Unfortunately, after listening to Su Feng’s explanation, Duncan also felt that Su Feng’s move was a bit pretentious...
But to be honest, Duncan really didn't think there was any problem with what Su Feng said.
"Hey, in this league, if there are more good seniors like me, then why worry about star breaks in the NBA in the future?" Su Feng said silently as he walked to the free throw line.
As the saying goes, one good deed every day, three thousand contributions.
After both free throws were in, Su Feng felt that in the future, after he passed away, if a good person like him were to be cremated, at least 81 relics would have to be burned to be worthy of these good deeds he had done.
It's a pity...
It is obviously impossible to use love to influence Artest in his youth.
On the court, stimulated by Su Feng, on both offensive and defensive ends, Artest increased his retaliation against Su Feng.
Just...
"Use Bruce to replace Ron."
On the Celtics bench, Auerbach, who noticed that Artest had committed four fouls, said to Celtics coach Miller Carr.
After hearing this, Karl sighed and said, "Su Shi is too cunning."
Auerbach nodded and said, "Tonight, Su taught us all."
As a generation of legendary marshals, Auerbach, who has seen countless big scenes in the past, is very clear that at the critical moment when the two teams are bayonet, the side that can stabilize the top points will definitely be able to master the initiative of the game.
The free throw is undoubtedly the most stable way to score in this situation.
Before the start of this year's playoffs, Auerbach thought that Artest could use his fierce defense to make Su Feng lose his judgment in the game.
But at this moment...
The angered party turned into Artest.
Is this Su Feng?
Compared with last year's Su Feng, in Auerbach's view, this year's Su Feng is better than last year in all aspects.
And the most important thing is...
He is only 22 years old this year.
This is the future...
If he grows for a few more years, then in Auerbach's view, no one in this league can control him.
On the court, with a dead ball opportunity, the Celtics replaced Artest with Bowen.
And just after the Raptors relied on Su Feng to score 8 points one after another with free throws, the pressure was already on the Celtics.
In the tormented third quarter, the Celtics' weaknesses of the Celtics' weakness after the previous battle with the Pacers were exposed.
However, at a time of crisis, Tim Duncan stepped forward again and kept the last hope for the Celtics.
Su Feng's previous life, before Yao Ming entered the league, as the NBA's No. 1 anti-pressure king, in countless duels with O'Neal, you can often see Duncan being beaten by O'Neal completely helpless.
However, even so, Duncan has never bowed his head to O'Neal in a game.
From 1999 to 2007, Duncan and O’Neal’s team has won 8 championships in the past 9 seasons.
Among them, Duncan got 4 times, and O'Neal got 4 times.
So in the future, O'Neal will also make complaints when commenting.
If it weren't for the **** Duncan, then he should have won at least 8 championships.
Introduction is Tim Duncan.
A player who is the peak of his debut and is full of resilience talent.
In the second half of the third quarter, relying on Duncan's several singles success, as well as his solid and steady performance in pick and roll and defense, the Celtics successfully survived this difficult physical extreme.
After the three quarters of the game, although still 7 points behind the Raptors, in front of the TV, almost all Celtics fans believe that they have the hope of creating a "surprise" for the top favorite in this G1 game. Up.
Looking at the score card of 73 to 80, Su Feng, who has played for 36 minutes, understands why O'Neill and Duncan have teamed up to create so many "uncrowned kings" in his previous life.
Because of these two people...
Ahhh!
These two BUGs are more difficult to deal with than the other.
On the bench of the Raptors, before the start of the fourth quarter, watching Su Feng, who had begun to show fatigue, Davis asked the assistant coach to give Su Feng massage and physical therapy, and asked Su Feng for him. Advice on whether you need a break.
"Coach, no matter how many times you ask me, I always answer that. You know." After mixing his breath, Su Feng said to Davis.
And upon hearing this, Davis held Su Feng's hands affectionately while saying: "I'll leave it to you, our superstar."
On the Celtics bench, in the fourth quarter of the game, when he noticed that Su Feng was still not resting, Auerbach almost coughed his old sputum on Miller Carr’s face.
Not...
In normal NBA games, you don’t need to rest.
But tonight...
God, what kind of monster we Celtics are facing this night!
Any fans who have watched the first three quarters of the game tonight can appreciate Auerbach’s mood at this moment.
Because of the first three quarters of the game, Su Feng has not only carried the burden of the Raptors on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, he is also the core of the Raptors' perimeter defense.
So, in the fourth quarter, when Su Feng was still on the court, TNT TV station, Kenny Smith bluntly said: "I have no intention of offending Coach John Davis...
But to be honest, if you give me a Su, then I feel that I can become the best coach. "
On the side, Derek smiled and said, "Well, what if you and Larry Brown are half a cat?"
Bang——!
In front of the TV, after hearing Derek's complaint, someone who was watching this year's playoffs suddenly hit the TV screen with the remote control.
As for the Airline Center Arena, with the start of the fourth quarter, the Raptors fans at the scene are also expressing their extraordinary love for Su Feng in their own way.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ray Allen missed an open three-pointer as soon as he came up.
In the second half of the game, as physical consumption intensified, Ray Allen's shooting rate from beyond the three-point line was far less efficient than he did in the first half.
And back, the Raptors attacked. On the Celtics bench, Duncan ripped off the towel on his shoulders without even thinking about it.
Because...
Only two steps away from the three-point line, in front of Bruce Bowen, Su Feng decisively completed a shot.
Three points?
No...
This is more than just a three-pointer.
Because Su Feng had completed the trade-off in his own mind before deciding to make a wave.
Not in?
It doesn't matter.
Because the Raptors started leading the Celtics by 7 points in the fourth quarter, even if the goal is not scored, Su Feng can scare the Celtics into a cold sweat.
And once in...
The ball is more than just a three-pointer.
Why——!
73 to 83!
At the moment when the basketball hits the net, no amount of words can express the feelings of the nearly 20,000 Raptors fans on the scene.
"MVP————!!!"
"MVP————!!!"
"MVP————!!!"
"Hey, I said, when do you want Tim to rest? I haven't played enough with him yet..."
On the court, after shooting Bruce Bowen in the face, Su Feng spread his hands and walked straight to the Celtics bench.
At this moment, even Artest, who has always been grumpy, has to admit that for the first time in his life, he has developed a feeling of fear for a basketball player.
Whenever Tim Duncan creates hope, this man can turn it into despair in the next second.
This is the youngest creator of two consecutive MVP achievements in NBA history...
Is this the youngest regular season MVP winner in NBA history?
Just like when Su Feng entered the league and called him to fight Michael Jordan...
In front of the TV, at this moment, the ghost knows how many young people have the idea of wanting to join the league because of him.
Let's go to the NBA!
Because there is Su Feng there!
If you can play against Su Feng in the peak era...
Then why not?
On the Celtics bench, after Su Feng's provocation, Tim Duncan patted Auerbach on the shoulder affectionately, and then straddled his unremarkable pace to the technical stage.
Perhaps in a person's life, there will be countless Su Feng standing up to stop you.
But as long as you can pass him, the front is the end of the journey.
If you want to fight, I will fight.
There is no unnecessary dialogue. This is Tim Duncan’s response to Su Feng on May 21, 2000.
It's just different from last year...
Behind Duncan this year, there are a few more determined teammates like him.
"We will definitely win the championship together, Tim." Marbury, who stood up from the bench with Duncan on the back, laughed.
"I won't be offended by him anymore." Artest said seriously, staring at the Raptors No. 23 on the court.
"Maybe I can't cover the sky with one hand like you, but Tim, I still have 3 chances of fouling." Ukrainian meat wall Peter Tapan laughed.
At this moment, even the unsmiling Duncan showed a touching smile.
Maybe this year, the Celtics can't stop the desperately powerful Raptors.
But what about?
Give it all, bet everything for the sport and career you love~IndoMTL.com~ This is the most romantic thing for men!
Beep——!
On the court, because of Bowen's pass, Su Feng cut off the sideline, and the Celtics requested a substitution.
At the same time, on the Raptors side, Carter, McGrady, and Big Ben were also replaced by Davis.
"John, your previous plan didn't mean to..." D'Antoni asked with a puzzled look at John Davis, whose fat face was shaking back and forth.
However, before D'Antoni could finish speaking, Davis interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Plans will never keep up with changes.
Mike, this is the best game so far this year, so it needs the best players. "Davis said.
