All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 7: The brutal nineties and unpopular 3-pointers…
For American high school students who love basketball, the most anticipated moment of the year is probably the NBA Finals.
Because...together with the finals, there are often three months of summer vacation.
Evil capitalism!
When he thought that he had only two weeks of vacation when he was a senior in high school in his previous life, Su Feng couldn't help but wiped away a tear.
Because of the previous "school encounter gun battle incident", this time the school specially arranged for Su Feng a final exam belonging to him.
The final exams in American high schools are far less strict than those in China, but they are more flexible. Of course, all of this is not a problem for Su Feng. After all, he is a master student, he is also a master student when he goes abroad...
"Well, if you don't play well, you can only go stocks and become the richest man..." Su Feng thought with emotion.
Of course, that kind of life is definitely not what Su Feng wants.
Because in Su Feng’s view, since he has obtained a system that can help his dream of NBA in this life, and has encountered a humanoid plug-in like Kobe, what reason does he have not to play?
and different from others, after this journey through rebirth and live, Su Feng believes that there must be an invisible hand controlling his destiny.
If you don’t play ball, Su Feng is afraid that he might die suddenly like the supporting role written in the novel of Infinite Stream...
Therefore, entering the NBA, becoming a basketball star, and marrying Bai Fumei have become Su Feng's firm goals.
……
7th was the day when the G1 game of the 93/94 NBA Finals started. According to the previous agreement with Kobe, Su Feng appeared on the field where he and Kobe usually practice.
"By the way, why has no one else come to play in this area except us?" Su Feng asked curiously.
"Hmph, because this is my site." Kobe raised his mouth triumphantly, not to mention how proud it looked.
"If I hadn't been preparing for the exam for a while, how could you have played on my turf that day." Bryant added.
Looking at Kobe’s expression, Su Feng probably guessed the truth...
That means no one can beat Kobe around here...
And with Kobe’s unwillingness to admit defeat, he might just grab you and fight him one-on-one for a day, so... I can’t afford it, can others not hide?
You know, in the United States, the basketball court is the most important thing...
Because of the last time he secretly observed Kobe's home, Su Feng knew that Kobe's home was not very far from this stadium, so Su Feng felt that he and Kobe were really related.
……
At this time in 1994, because Kobe has not known Vanessa, he has naturally not broken up with his family. The Bryant family can be regarded as filial fathers and sons...
Kobe’s father is named Joe Bryant. He is a former NBA athlete. Of course, he’s the one who is more on the street...
When Kobe was a child, in order to support his family, Joe ran to Italy and stunned the fans at the time. Because of Joe’s gorgeous playing style, especially his one-handed shooting and falling back, it was quite handsome..... .
Later, after returning to the United States, when Kobe was in his first year of high school, Joe had also been Kobe’s coach, Emmmmm, and then there was no more...
Many people in the future will say that Kobe is imitating Jordan, but in fact... his handsome shooting is absolutely inseparable from his father's words and deeds.
"Hehe, is this the "Philadelphia hero" Kobe often mentioned to me recently?" As soon as Su Feng followed Kobe into the house, Kobe's father Joe walked over towards Su Feng and Kobe cheerfully.
It can be seen that Joe is quite happy that his son has finally made friends. After all, no parents want to see their children being isolated by other children...
When he saw Joe walking towards himself and Kobe, Su Feng felt that his eyes suddenly turned black, because Joe's height is as high as 207 cm, which is true to Kobe and Su Feng now. little Giant.
"Well, the height is about the same as Kobe, the arms span is also good, the hips and waist are good, the muscles are a bit less, but the skeleton is good..." After hugging Kobe, when hugging Su Feng , Qiao commented on Su Feng as he put his hands on Su Feng...
Su Feng: "......"
The American people are really hospitable, but Su Feng always finds something weird...
Oh yes!
Su Feng remembered that when he took female tickets home in his previous life, the seven aunts and eight aunts would often say: This girl has a good **** and can give birth to a son...
"Come on, lads, the TV is ready, and Pamela has prepared some exquisite snacks for you."
Joe laughed and brought Kobe and Su Feng to the living room, and just when Su Feng was about to sit down, Joe suddenly said: "Of course, you, as athletes, are forbidden to drink Coke."
said, Joe also opened a can of Coca-Cola in front of Su Feng and Kobe.
Su Feng, Kobe: "..."
Actually, Su Feng and Kobe didn’t even want to drink Coke, but...
Su Feng suddenly felt that Kobe's character withdrawn may not be without reason.
"Su, which one do you prefer?"
On the TV, the commentators have already started their routine look ahead before the finals, but at this time, Kobe looked at Su Feng with curiosity and asked.
"Mosaic." Su Feng replied.
"Why? Don't you think this year's Knicks are very champions?" Kobe looked puzzled, because originally Kobe thought that Su Feng and himself would think that the Knicks could win the championship...
"Because I think Hakim is better than Patrick. Although Hakim and Patrick have a win-lose match, in fact, Hakim always has the upper hand in the duel with Patrick." Su Feng Explained.
"But the Knicks also have Starks, Oakley, Davis..." Kobe seemed a little unconvinced, and said a string of Knicks star names.
Su Feng smiled and shook his head, "You are right, Kobe, from the overall configuration, the Knicks are indeed stronger, and the mosaic is at a disadvantage."
Hearing that Su Feng’s clothes were soft, Kobe originally raised his mouth proudly, but Su Feng didn’t expect Su Feng to continue saying: “But I still think that the tiny gap between Hakeem and Patrick will determine this series. The direction of the game."
Because of Jordan's retirement, the NBA attention in the 93/94 season has dropped a lot, but if there is no subjective evaluation, this season's NBA Finals can be called a classic.
First of all, the two sides are at war. The Knicks have the No. 1 overall pick in 1985, Ewing Gorilla, one of the four major centers, and Mosaic, also has the No. 1 overall pick in 84, the dream of Olajuwon, the top of the four centers.
Before the game, from the perspective of the lineups of both sides, the configuration of the Knicks is indeed more dominant, but for Su Feng who knows the results of this round of the series, Su Feng is very clear that on the surface, the Knicks have better configuration, and It won't take much advantage in this round of the series...
First of all, from the point of view of the shooting guard position, it seems that the Knicks have the nickname lunatic, excellent defense, and the star player John Starks with a three-pointer.
In the 93/94 season, Starks averaged 19 points per game, and was selected for the All-Star and the second best defensive team. In the future, Starks also won the best sixth man. This season Ewing's right-hand man.
But on the mosaic side, there is Fron Maxwell who can match Starks.
It seems that Starks is a star player. Maxwell is just an ordinary starter. Even in Su Feng’s previous life, many keyboard guys who knew Maxwell were called "big guys" by their peers, but they were not well-known. , Does not mean that people have no strength.
As the absolute hero of the Mosaic's two consecutive championships, Maxville can attack and defend well. In this round of the series, Starks, who is similar in body shape to Maxville, can hardly take advantage of Maxville because Maxville is Belongs to the kind of cash player...
Unless you are an old gangster or have two-handed skills, you have to be pulled away by him for 55...
As for Oakley mentioned by Kobe, as the "old gangster" of the Knicks, Emmmmm, this man is really "old gangster", without any praise, pure derogation...
Oakley’s style of playing is known for its dirty. Of course, in the eyes of many iron-blooded people, this dirty has been blown into brutality and blood...
Anyway, Oakley is good for other people, for big dreams?
Don’t be kidding, the big dream of this period, but even a shark that is watching the world will give way to the existence of three points...
And the Knicks have Oakley, Mosaic also has Robert Horry.
If you look at this round of the series from a metaphysical perspective, Horry is definitely the number one hero of Mosaic...
Because Su Feng, who knows the future, knows very well that Horry is one of the strongest causal weapons in the NBA...
In the NBA, with Horry...you have a 43.75% chance of winning a championship.
16 years of professional career, 7 championships, Horry's luck is a friend who has seen the NBA, knows it all.
Therefore, in Su Feng’s view, the Knicks only seem to have an advantage, but they are actually 55 apart from Mosaic...
When the two teams have similar lineups and similar strengths, Big Dream will dominate this series.
Su Feng's previous life, when the two sides fought 2-2 in the first 4 games, the Knicks successfully captured Tianwang Mountain, and the situation was originally very good.
However, in the G6 battle, at the final countdown of the game, Olajuwon made a decision to change the trajectory of his fate.
At that time, the Knicks, who had the right to kill the series, passed the ball to Starks at the last moment...
As a result, Da Meng suddenly gave up the defense against Ewing and went straight to Starks who got a three-pointer from the periphery.
After the game, Olajuwon once explained this, "They are eager for the championship as much as we do. As long as they score the goal (referring to Starks’ three-pointer), they are the championship. , So I firmly believe that John (Starks) will definitely shoot."
The choice of Dream changed history.
Starks did exactly what he expected.
This time, Olajuwon did not watch the champion slip away like he did in college.
Olajuwon touched Starks’ this lore. Starks’ lore was unsuccessful, and Mosaic crossed the death line in a thrilling manner, pretending the total score of the two teams was 3 to 3.
In the seventh game, due to the unsuccessful effects of the G6 battle, Starks was in no state. He made 0 of 11 three-pointers and "helped" the Mosaic team to win the championship.
resuming this round of the finals, the big dream can be said to be truly able to carry the entire team on his shoulders. No matter where the offense and defense are, you can see Olajuwon’s figure. On the other hand, Ewing, Maybe it is exactly what people said...
is so bad!
So this is why Su Feng believes that the tiny gap between Olajuwon and Ewing will determine the direction of this series.
It’s just that Kobe’s explanation for Su Feng was not very priced, and Su Feng, who is familiar with Kobe’s character, did not continue to argue with Kobe...
is Kobe’s father, Joe, who thinks Su Feng is a very interesting kid.
……
"It's too bloody..." As the 93/94 season finals started, Su Feng couldn't help sighing.
"It's too cruel..." At this moment, Kobe and Su Feng reached an agreement.
The NBA Finals of the 93/94 season will be called the "blood-and-blooded finals" by many people in the future, because in this round of the seven-game series, no game scored more than 100 points, and the highest score in a single game was 93 points. ......
In addition to the melodious iron sound of the players from the two teams, the melee combat inside the two teams, like wrestling, is even more fierce...
"Sure enough, it's right to practice hard work..." Looking at the picture on the TV, Su Feng swears that there will never be him on the inside line before the Hand.Check rule becomes No.Hand.Check The existence of...
Breakthrough is impossible. You can only barely maintain life by dry-drawing iron. People who can dry-draw and speak nicely. Su Feng really likes dry-drawing...
It is well known that the reason for the high defensive intensity of the NBA during this period was inseparable from the Hand.Check rule.
The rule is simply that you can put your hand on the offensive player while defending. This causes the outside player to have no unique skills and it is impossible to play.
Because your breakthrough will be greatly restricted by the defensive player, for example, under the Hand.Check rule, the attacking player's breakthrough difficulty is roughly twice that of the No.Hand.Check rule...
Why did boss Joe practice shooting hard in the middle and late stages of his career?
is because shooting is the outside offensive method that is least affected by the Hand.Check rule.
After all, you throw, draw, and flip with the ball, and your opponents often can't even make it.
Su Feng’s previous life, many people think that the reason why people didn’t like to vote 3 points in the 90s was because of the Hand.Check rules...
In fact, this is a misleading and adorable statement~IndoMTL.com~ Actually, in the near future, after the NBA shortens the three-point line, do you think the league will shoot three-pointers?
, you know, during that time, even Boss Joe had a good time...
To put it bluntly, during this period, the 3-pointer is a new rule that the league has just introduced, and everyone is very resistant to it.
Take Larry Bird, even Bird himself didn’t like three-pointers very much, because the players at the time felt that three-pointers were showing off.
Just like if the NBA adds 4 points tomorrow, many teams will definitely take a while to adjust to the new rules.
Even when Su Feng's previous Warriors won the championship for the first time, many experts before the game believed that a team that only shots was not far away.
So, the real reason why people didn’t like to vote for three-pointers in the 90s is the difference in the concept of the times. Just like you travel back to tell the friends in the 90s that in the future you can go out without money, only with Cell phone, he will think you are crazy...
People at this time are not as quick to accept new things as human beings in the Internet age in the future.
Of course, anyway, the Hand.Check rule is definitely the killer of outside players in this period...
"People in the 90s...too cruel!" Su Feng exclaimed.
