All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 390: Jumping back and forth, Brother Splash!
"I really just want to strike iron()"
On the afternoon of the 24th, the Raptors flew to Boston with a 2-0 lead.
On the same day, in the later Western Conference G2 game, the Lakers were broken by the Blazers.
In the original timeline, Su Feng remembered that although the Lakers had the last laugh, at that time the biggest difference between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers in this round of the series...
It was played in the G2 battle.
And those who win are all trailblazers.
It's just that, compared to the 33-point defeat in my memory, the Lakers in this life lost in the G2 game less "decently".
Because at any rate, in the original G2 game, O'Neal still had Kobe on 2 of 9 shots to rely on.
But this time...
Let’s take a look, take a look, don’t miss it...
On the night when he flew to Boston, he made 1 of 16 shots in the G2 game with the Trail Blazers, and Kobe, who scored only 8 free throws, almost contracted the Raptors’ laughter.
And O'Neal, who made 5 of 20 free throws at the free throw line, made Big Ben lift up his towering explosive head.
I have to say that the Blazers' performance in this G2 game is simply a textbook-like play against the Lakers.
In the whole game, including "Roof of the World" Sabonis, the Blazers had 4 inside players and 6 fouls.
Through fouls and hand-to-hand combat, the Blazers succeeded in limiting O'Neal's power to a minimum at Staples.
In addition, forward players such as Rashid Wallace also used their range to torture the Lakers' defense.
Scotty Pippen played the best playoff game since the Bulls won the 9798 season.
In this campaign, in addition to limiting Kobe's scoring to less than 10 points, Pippen himself also scored 23 points and 7 rebounds.
It is obvious that Phil Jackson's team did not notice the Trailblazer's level of danger to the Lakers before the game.
Now, they need to pay for their underestimation.
Because after winning the Lakers away, the Blazers have successfully regained home court advantage.
However, although the Lakers game made the Raptors players feel unprecedented happiness, but in the early morning, listening to the song "jazz" suddenly played outside the hotel window...
Su Feng, who was already asleep, had a feeling of deja vu.
In the NBA playoffs, it is not a matter of a day or two that the away team will be confused by the home team fans...
It’s just that, compared with last year, this year’s Boston fans are not only more professional in organization, but they also use more advanced equipment in terms of making noise media.
So on the 25th, considering that the players generally lacked sleep, Davis had to postpone the adaptation and recovery training originally scheduled in the morning until the afternoon.
However, in the afternoon, when the Raptors players were going to the stadium together for training, they were notified that the Boston stadium was broken and they needed to go to the old stadium for training.
As for this, Davis didn't say much after he met the Celtic staff and smiled.
Because of the recruitment...
He is very familiar.
Go...
Close your eyes and think with your feet, Davis knows that the Celtics are going to decorate their home floor.
……
On the 25th, after a period of shooting training, the Celtics re-provided the Raptors with the old arena and the situation was worrying, so the Raptors had to end the training early and return to the hotel.
On the 26th, which is the day of the Eastern Conference finals G3 match day, Davis simply didn't call the players out of bed until the afternoon.
Playing away in Boston is a severe test for any team. So long before the team went to Boston, Davis had done psychological construction for the players.
However, even if Davis exhausted his imagination, he would never think of the gifts that Bostonians prepared for them...
It's much more than that.
On the afternoon of the 26th, after the Raptors arrived at the North Shore Garden Arena, in addition to the traditional old three, decorating the floor, tightening the net and loosening the basket, in the locker room, the Raptors players were surprised Found...
The Celtics plan not to even provide them with electricity.
Huh, electricity?
"FK! Why is the water cold!" Before the game, the pretty boy who wanted to take a shower before going to the game was surprised.
While supplementing energy with bananas, Su Feng calmly said to him: "Calm down, Ben.
If you are really unbalanced, I suggest you think about the Bulls in the 9697 season. "
And after hearing that, don't say it, after Daben recalled the miserable Jordan and Pippen in his mind, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Clean up the Celtics easily?
Impossible.
On their hell-level home court, God knows how many times Su Feng's beloved brother LeBron James will cry in the future.
So, after learning about Davis's layout for this round of the series, Su Feng almost chose to support with his hands and feet without even thinking about it.
Because, no matter how hard the Celtics play at home, physical fitness is the Raptors' biggest advantage on an objective level.
On the evening of the 26th, just when D'Antoni and Rivers were confident that the Raptors had reached the finals with one foot...
Amid the hoarse cheers from Boston, the process of this G3 battle once again confirmed what Davis said at the end of the G2 battle.
In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors failed to fully adapt to the court. Except for the always alert Su Feng, both Nash and McGrady made mistakes that were directly intercepted during the dribble.
Because in the eternal history of the NBA, there has never been a team behind 0 to 3 to complete a comeback. Therefore, the Celtics who had their last stand in this game also took out their deadly life. The attitude of the game.
As a result, after the half-time game, what surprised the experts again was that the Celtics, who played at home, led the Raptors by as much as 18 points.
Originally, at the end of the G2 battle, D'Antoni and Rivers, who thought Davis was just talking casually, was once again convinced by Davis' vision.
"Then John, what shall we do now?"
During the intermission, D'Antoni and Rivers asked sincerely, looking at Davis, who could always predict the enemy's chances.
And now that his "Wolong" and "Feng Xiao" asked about it, Davis naturally and compassionately told the two of his on-site alternatives.
After the intermission, in the third quarter of the game, the Raptors used three-pointers many times to close the difference between the two teams to about 10 points.
However, due to the fact that the Raptors have barely touched the ball during the past two days of rest, this wave of counterattacks came abruptly in the second half of the third quarter as the Raptors players’ touch fell. Stop.
And soon, the Celtics quickly extended their lead back to more than 15 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 69 to 84.
At this time, almost the entire North American experts agreed that the Celtics had secured the victory of this game.
Because from the perspective of the course of this game, the Raptors did not have any turnaround except for expecting a miracle.
However, if miracles can always come, then miracles cannot be called miracles.
Coincidentally, on the Raptors side, Davis already thinks the Raptors will lose.
It’s just that, in the fourth quarter, when he noticed the five players on the Raptors’ field, on the Celtics’ bench, Auerbach, who had already begun planning the fourth game between the two sides, almost failed. A mouthful of old blood in his chest was spit on the Celtic honor floor.
Batheer, Thomas, Su Feng, Curry, Boggs.
Obviously, judging from the five-man team of the Raptors, the Raptors have already acknowledged the Celtics' victory this night.
Just...
While Su Feng is still on the court, ask you whether the Celtics panic?
Why——!
Why——!
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Su Feng, who had scored five points in a row, swaggered to the position where he had completed the lore in the G1 battle, and then slowly spread his hands.
Under the boos all over the room, even if you know that Davis's trick is a conspiracy...
What can Auerbach do?
With 0 to 2 behind, the Celtics don’t have any fault tolerance.
Therefore, if Su Feng can really bring back the score with this broken lineup, then, with the addition of the four other Raptors who are fully rested by then, the Celtics can really ensure that they win this G3. Fight?
To put it bluntly, Davis is playing the drama of never giving up...
This is purely disgusting.
Because of the fact that even if the Raptors get back the full lineup, Su Feng may not be able to play so well with these four tools.
However, under Su Feng's continued deterrence, the Celtics had to bring Duncan and Artest back to the court.
In this way, Davis's goal was achieved.
That is, continue to give full play to Su Feng's advantage in this round of the series.
As a result, Davis only replaced Su Feng with 2:03 left in the fourth quarter.
Because at this time, with 19 points behind the Celtics, even Su Feng cannot threaten the Celtics.
In the end, 91 to 107, the Celtics managed to win back a city in their home court.
In the whole game, the Raptors started five tigers, except for Su Feng who scored 29 points, no one scored in double figures.
Carter, who came off the bench, contributed the team's second-highest 18 points, while Curry had 17 points.
On the Celtics side, Duncan still steadily scored a double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds.
Marbury and Ray Allen scored 17 points, 8 assists and 19 points respectively.
After the game, as the winning side, Auerbach’s expression was even more uncomfortable than losing.
As the loser, Davis smiled brilliantly.
"As a head coach, you must not only see the game in front of you, but also prepare for the next game in advance." In the away locker room, after the game, Davis continued to teach D'Antoni and Li Firth said.
After plucking up the courage, Rivers asked in a low voice: "Then John...Should we prepare for this series at the intensity of seven games?"
"Seven games? No...This series can only play up to 6 games.
Didn’t I say it before? We are determined to win. "Pressing on Rivers' shoulder, Davis laughed.
And I heard that D'Antoni and Rivers had no idea what Davis was thinking about...
Because when the G2 battle was over, this guy didn't say that!
……
On the 29th, in Boston, the Raptors ushered in a G4 battle with the Celtics.
Two days before the game, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 106-95 in Portland in the Western Conference finals on the other side.
So currently, the big scores in the East-West Finals this year have all become 2 to 1.
In the market, the estimates of major North American experts can be described as two changes a day.
Because in the G3 battle, after the Celtics showed that they can also defeat the Raptors, many experts who expected the Raptors to advance easily have already begun to be optimistic that the Celtics can fall behind 0-2 In the case of complete turnaround.
It's just...
The G4 battle between the Raptors and the Celtics disappointed these experts again.
In the first quarter of the game, the Celtics and the Raptors seem to be in the game, who can give their opponents more chances.
The players of the two teams not only made frequent mistakes, but also enjoyed the top-notch massage service on both sides of the basket.
And the reason...
In Su Feng's view, it should be related to the Celtics temporarily adjusting their honor floor position before this game.
Because when he was warming up to play the minesweeper game before the game, Su Feng discovered that the position of the honor floor of the North Shore Garden Arena was very different from the first game.
However, for the Raptors, such a change seems to have little effect on Su Feng.
Because he wants to adapt to such a game environment in a short time, no one but him on the Raptors can do it.
Even under his own reminder, in a fierce game, the Raptors players can hardly avoid making mistakes.
So, Su Feng didn't understand why Auerbach made such an unfavorable trick.
After all, after temporarily adjusting the position of the honor floor of the home court, the Celtics players also appeared uncomfortable.
The result...
On the night of the 29th, the Raptors and Celtics once played a picture that made fans want to doze off.
In this regard, although Su Feng, who has always been humble, does not know why the Celtics made such a move, Davis is very clear about why Auerbach temporarily adjusted the home court honor of the Celtics Floor location.
"Last year plus this year...They are already scared by soda."
After tapping D'Antoni and Rivers on the shoulders on the left and right, Davis laughed.
Facts have proved that in addition to being able to check and balance each other on the court, great players can always make each other lose the other.
In the G3 battle, even the craziest Celtics fans did not dare to celebrate in advance until Su Feng was replaced.
And this is what Su Feng has accumulated bit by bit in the past two seasons...
————Domination!
Just like when Michael Jordan was at his peak, any young man who dared to provoke Jordan would immediately be replaced by the head coach.
Because of fear that Su Feng was not affected by the Celtics' home honor floor in G3, the Celtics sacrificed this one thousand enemies in the G4 battle and lost 800 of them. trick.
Su Feng's previous life, during the Battle of the Warriors, the knight's strategy of eating, sleeping and playing Curry against the Warriors was cracked because Curry successfully defended it several times later.
Basketball games, especially the more exciting playoffs, psychological warfare games, are also key factors that can determine the outcome of the game.
The obvious thing is...
Su Feng now has become the demon of the Celtics.
In the first half of the game, the Raptors led 41 to 38 amid the melodious iron sound of the two teams.
In the third quarter, as Duncan's physical fitness gradually declined, the Celtics, who lost a stable scoring guarantee, soon lost their initiative in the G4 battle at the same time.
In the fourth quarter, Davis' investment in the bench also paid off.
Because he has more game time than the Celtics Toolman, Curry, who has been in a good state, became the X factor of the Raptors in the fourth quarter.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
In this campaign, of the 15 points contributed by Curry, 12 points were scored in the fourth quarter.
Because the hands of the two teams were generally not good in this game, the Raptors have almost secured the victory after Curry's 4 three-pointers.
Finally, after the Celtics tried to chase points and failed, the Raptors managed to get their match point in the Eastern Conference finals with a score of 94 to 83 away!
Now, they have a big 3-1 lead.
In the whole game, Su Feng scored the highest 30 points for the two teams, plus 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 assist.
As for the Celtics, even though they struggled to the last minute, Duncan, whose fuel tank is dying, even if he scored 26 points and 13 rebounds, he couldn’t change the Celtics’ losing situation~IndoMTL.com~ Only after the game, on the Raptors bench, Rivers and D'Antoni felt they were going to be played by Davis.
Because when the two were excited to celebrate the Raptors winning the match point of this round of the series, Davis expressed anxiously that the Raptors will be difficult to play in the next game...
Ah no!
John, did you **** on purpose?
Can we still give you a slap in the face?
It is worth mentioning that at the press conference, Su Feng also contributed a brand new term.
Because in this game, Su Feng and Lao Curry felt the best in the game. Therefore, Su Feng also used the sound of "splash" to describe his and Lao Curry's shooting. .
"Although Dell and I have only worked together for less than two years, in my opinion, he and I are the most accurate outside team in NBA history.
So in the future, please call us "Splash Brothers"! "While patting his good brother Lao Curry on the shoulder, Su Feng smiled and said to the media.
As for being able to be tied with Su Feng's name, this evening, the young old Curry smiled hard to mention how happy it was.
But...
How could Dale Curry think that Su Feng seemed to be complimenting him, but actually cheating his son?
Heh...
Stephen, don't you think that you, Uncle Su, and I are such a person who bears no grudges?
Wake up...
Did you see, your dad and I are brothers!
So in the future, don't care about the Splash Brothers, Haier Brothers, and Bo Tao Brothers you team with others. In front of your Uncle Su, you have to call me Uncle!

PS: After writing this chapter, I suddenly feel that Su Feng is a good dog...
