Vol 2 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 for a break, Su Feng and Curry joined forces for a five-year period with Stephen Curry, who was only 11 years old. Minutes of ideological education.
Originally, 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’s "pocket money halved" and Su Feng's "pocket money doubled"...
What do you think the young Stephen Curry can do except surrender?
Farewell, my dear Uncle Vince!
From today, from this moment on, you will never hear Stephen Curry cheering to you again!
"Seth, actually, from a very early time, I felt that Uncle Melon's dunk was better than Uncle Vince, don't you think so?" Stephen Curry, who decided to re-behave in the back row of the Raptors bench Looking at his younger brother, Seth Curry said.
Seth: "..."
Look at the sky!
So this is the power of money?
In the Raptors' locker room, after reversing Stephen Curry's faith contentedly...
Tonight, Su Feng once again felt the "stink" of money.
However, rather than reaping the little fan of Stephen Curry, what Su Feng cares more about right now is how to win the G1 game with the Celtics.
You know, after the first half of the game tonight, without even Su Feng mobilizing, the other players of the Raptors have already felt the pressure of this round of the Eastern Conference finals.
Obviously, compared with last year, this year's Celtics are very close to the current Raptors in terms of strength and condition.
From the personnel matchup point of view, in the first half of the game, McGrady's advantage over Marbury was still obvious.
But through the high-speed rotation assisting defense, McGrady, who has not yet reached the peak at this time, is difficult to achieve one-on-one burst of Marbury.
But in turn, when facing Ma Deng's almost unsolvable pick and roll, McGrady's weakness on the defensive end was exposed.
Due to the high center of gravity, McGrady's ankle was tested throughout the first half.
Therefore, in this way, the matchup between McGrady and Marbury turned into a 50-50 matchup.
The same goes for Carter and Ray Allen.
When attacking, relying on the arrogant and unreasonable physique to crush, Ray Allen would be wiped out by Carter if he didn't pay attention when defending Carter.
But conversely, Ray Allen's running position can always allow Carter, who is easily distracted when defending, to lose sight of one another.
After the end of the first half, Davis was very clear 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 round of the series...
In Davis's view, it all depends on whether the Raptors can survive the first few games of this series.
Because now 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 enables 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 do not have as many tools as the Raptors. Therefore, in this round of playoffs, as long as the Raptors can play back, then they will have the upper hand. It must be the Raptors.
"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 Raptors locker room, D'Antoni gave out his doubts as he looked at John Davis with confidence on his face.
In fact, long before the start of this series, D'Antoni was the most determined "death force" in the Raptors.
Because in D'Antoni's view, the Celtics, who have just played six games with the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, are unlikely 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 adopt D'Antoni's suggestion.
Because Davis knows very well that although D'Antoni's proposal is feasible, the risk that the Raptors will have to take on this year's championship journey will only be higher.
Moreover, who said the Raptors' bench can't stand the Celtics?
After the intermission, Davis patted D'Antoni on the shoulder and smiled confidently: "Mike, you know, if we don't have Sue, then I will definitely take your advice."
Hearing that, as Davis pointed his finger in the direction, D'Antoni looked at Raptors No. 23, who had already stepped onto 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?
To be honest, even if Auerbach chooses one of O'Neal, Duncan and Su Feng at this moment, Auerbach will definitely choose O'Neal or Duncan instead of Su Feng.
But if you want to say, among the three, Auerbach doesn’t want to be the Celtics opponent...
Na Auerbach will definitely choose Su Feng.
On the court, after the intermission, the game continues.
Huh, huh, huh.
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 the correct way to use power from Boss Qiao.
Hard to push the chaos, that is the move only children use when fighting.
In Su Feng's view, true back fighting actually relies on wave after wave without repetitive rhythm.
Young Artest couldn’t stop Su Feng’s routine, because as a piece of back-beating pie, often Artest guessed Su Feng’s next move, and Su Feng had already taken a step ahead of Artest and completed him. The next step.
Huh!
An exquisite backward jumper.
52 to 59.
This is Su Feng's 21st point this night.
In turn, the Celtics attacked, and Duncan was also under the attack of Big Ben and O'Neal, and successfully distributed the ball to his inside partner Peter Tapan.
Bang, huh.
54 to 59.
On TNT TV, Kenny Smith said with emotion: "Tonight, Sue and Tim both played the demeanor of star players. To be honest, in my opinion, no matter what the outcome, Sue and Tim are worthy. 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 were before, there is only one team that can laugh last.
At the Airline Center Arena, after Su Feng’s high jumper shot 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 managed to defend Duncan once.
Because Big Ben took a very clever pinch time at the last moment, Duncan was unable to choose the ball at the first time.
Therefore, before being blown offensively for three seconds, Duncan had to use his signature grandfather 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 opportunity to push back.
However, as fast as the Raptors counterattack, the Celtics can retreat.
when--!
On the court, Carter's counter-attack failed to hit a three-pointer under the interference of Ray Allen.
Then, Marbury's high jumper after the pick and roll also deviated from the basket.
In the third quarter of the game, after the break, the players of the two teams obviously hadn't found the touch of the first half.
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-cut cooperation.
In the first half of the third quarter, with both teams maintaining a high degree of concentration 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 court.
Feng Zhizhi is so handsome.
And on the court, watching Su Feng's "helpless" expression after scoring a goal, at this moment, if it weren't for reason to prevail, Artest would definitely have to initiate a Macgola to Su Feng.
Of course, Artest may not believe it...
Su Feng's "helplessness" is really not a pretense.
Because the ghost knows how much of Su Feng's strike value has been lost this night?
"Come on, don't give up!" When retiring, Su Feng did not forget to encourage Artai.
Artest: "..."
There is one thing to say, in the eyes of Artest, 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?
You know, compared with the Han Han who was only worth a few thousand strikes at the beginning of the season, the current matchmaking strikes given to Su Feng by Artest have almost exceeded 10,000.
So, for such an excellent junior, it is too late for Su Feng to "love" him. How could he bully him because of his "disrespect" revenge for himself?
To put it bluntly, after retiring from playing the old hooligans, Su Feng found that now, including the next one or two years, especially most outside players in the league are still in this stage of growth. Still compared with time.
Therefore, 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.
And it is worth mentioning that when he stepped onto 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 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.
"Oh, in this league, if there are more excellent 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 accomplishments.
After making both free throws 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 the good deeds he had done.
Unfortunately......
It is obviously impossible to use love to influence Artest in his youth.
On the court, stimulated by Su Feng, Artest increased his retaliation against Su Feng on both offense and defense.
just......
"Use Bruce to replace Ron."
On the Celtics bench, Auerbach, who noticed that Artest had committed 4 fouls, said to Celtics coach Miller Carr.
But 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 of the bayonet of the two teams, 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 instead.
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.
What is the future...
If he is allowed to grow for a few more years, 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 in succession with free throws, the pressure was already on the Celtics.
In the painful third quarter of the game, the Celtics' weaknesses in the subsequent weakness after the previous battle with the Pacers were exposed.
However, at the time of the crisis, Tim Duncan stepped forward again and kept the last hope for the Celtics.
In Su Feng's previous life, before Yao Ming entered the league, as the NBA's number one anti-stress king, in countless duels with O'Neal, you can often see Duncan being beaten by O'Neal with no strength to fight back.
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 won 8 championships in the past 9 seasons.
Among them, Duncan got 4 times, and O'Neal also got 4 times.
Therefore, in the future, O'Neal has also made complaints when commenting.
If it wasn't for the Duncan, then he should have won at least 8 championships.
The introduction is Tim Duncan.
A player whose debut is the pinnacle and is full of resilience talent.
In the second half of the third quarter, relying on Duncan's several singles success and his solid and steady performance in pick and roll and defense, the Celtics managed to survive this difficult physical extreme.
After the third quarter 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.
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...
Nonsence!
These two bugs are more difficult to deal with than the other.
On the Raptors bench, 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 while asking Su Feng whether he needed a rest. Views.
"Coach, no matter how many times you ask me, I always answer that, you know." After mixing his breath, Su Feng said to Davis.
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!
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 not only carried the Raptors' burden on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, he is also the core of the Raptors' perimeter defense.
Therefore, in the fourth quarter of the game, when Su Feng was still on the court, TNT TV, 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 also become the best coach. "
On the side, Derek smiled and said, "What if you and Larry Brown are half-hearted?"
boom--!
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.
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 was in the first half.
But in turn, the Raptors attacked, and on the Celtics bench, Duncan ripped off the towel on his shoulders without even thinking about it.
because......
At a position two steps away from the three-point line, Su Feng decisively completed a shot in front of Bruce Bowen.
Three points?
Do not......
This is more than just a three-pointer.
Because as early as before deciding to invest in waves, Su Feng had completed the trade-off in his heart.
Not in?
It doesn't matter.
Because the Raptors led 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...
Then this ball is more than just a three-pointer.
Huh!
73 to 83!
At the moment when the basketball kicks off 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 face to 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 had a feeling of fear for a basketball player.
Whenever Tim Duncan created hope, this man could 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, he called him to fight Michael Jordan...
In front of the TV, at this moment, the ghost knew how many young people had the idea of ​​eager to join the league because of him.
Let's go to the NBA!
Because there is Su Feng there!
If you can fight against Su Feng in the peak era...
Why not?
On the Celtics bench, after Su Feng's provocation, Tim Duncan patted Auerbach on the shoulder affectionately, and then straddled his mediocre pace to the technical stage.
Perhaps in a person's life, there will be countless Su Feng standing up and blocking your way.
But as long as he 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.
The only difference from last year is...
This year, behind Duncan, 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 and patted Duncan's back, laughed.
"I won't be irritated 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 smiled.
At this moment, even Duncan, who was unsmiling, showed a touching smile.
Perhaps this year, the Celtics can't stop the desperately powerful Raptors.
But so what?
Give it all, bet everything for the sport and career you love~EbookFREE.me~ This is the most romantic thing for men!
Beep!
On the court, because Bowen's pass was cut out of the sideline by Su Feng, 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 waved to interrupt him.
"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.
