All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

The 76ers arrived in Philadelphia early on the 28th.

As the thin mist dispersed, the nascent sun shone on the 76ers players. The elders from Philadelphia who came to pick them up greeted the return of the heroes with cheers and applause.

Seeing this scene, the 76ers players who were fighting alone in Chicago suddenly felt that their tired and sleepy bodies were full of strength.

Su Feng, who had been chatting with Davis for several hours on the plane, walked at the front of the team. His smile as sweet as a melon left a deep impression on the fans who came to pick him up.

For people like Su Feng, generally we can only use six words to describe him:

The dream of 900 million girls.

Screams came one after another, the fans chanted Su Feng's Chinese name, and some excited female fans even wanted to step forward and give him a kiss.

"Next, it's our home court." Su Feng turned around, patted Iverson on the shoulder and smiled.

"Yeah." Iverson nodded firmly. He, who was already very sleepy, couldn't help clenching his fists at this moment.

The 76ers, who brought back a victory from the Windy City, have reversed the asymmetric strength balance between the two sides before the start of this series.

The Bulls are still strong, but the 76ers' group of young robbers have given people a different hope.

…

After returning to Philadelphia, the team had a half-day off.

On the afternoon of the 28th, Davis arranged for assistant coaches to lead the players in recovery training, while also recruiting important players such as Iverson, Su Feng, Stackhouse, Harris, and Smith.

"I know that everything I say next will probably sound crazy to you.

But to beat the Bulls, I think, we need that kind of craziness. "

Listening to Davis' explanation, Su Feng silently gave him a thumbs up.

Because, as expected, Davis took in the playstyle he told him on the plane.

In the G2 game, as the Bulls further improved their defensive level, the next series has actually become a multiple-choice question for the 76ers.

Answer A: Continue to compete defensively with the Bulls, but in this case, the 76ers will have more than 95% chance of being beaten to death by the Bulls.

Because after the Bulls have improved their defensive level, if the 76ers cannot solve the problem of court space, then they will not be able to break the game.

Comparing defense with this Bulls?

This is not a wise choice.

The experience of this Bulls team is far greater than that of the 76ers.

As long as the 76ers are led into a slow positional battle, the 76ers can only watch helplessly as the Bulls rely on their defense and boss Joe's critical hits to take away the game.

In the G2 game, the 76ers' performance was not bad, but the Bulls did better than them.

Therefore, Su Feng, who did not want to sit still and wait for death, instilled a wave of ideas that did not belong to this era into Davis on the team's return trip.

Answer B: Further improve the team's three-point shooting and change the outcome of the game...

Give it to the players!

Under the HC rules, in fact, the 76ers are not unable to take shots one after another.

Because the Heat this season are a living example.

While shouting "three-pointers are rubbish", Riley is also instilling in the Heat players the tactical concept of taking full advantage of the shortened three-point line.

This season, the Heat averaged nearly 24 three-pointers per game in the playoffs.

Considering that most of their shots are reasonable shot choices relative to the future, the 76ers only need to increase their unreasonable shot choices to achieve sub-three-point shots in a game.

In this era, fewer three-pointers are taken, not just because of the rules.

A large part of the reason is because people's tactical concepts are different from the future.

This is not a matter of paying attention to three-pointers, but if no team has ever proven that three-pointers can kill people, why should other teams follow suit?

Even the future three-point era only fully started after the Warriors won the championship.

In this series with the Bulls, Su Feng has to be responsible for trying to attract Jordan's hatred. There is no guarantee that he can give the team a stable output on three-pointers, but Iverson and Stackhouse are not without opportunities.

Take the Bulls' pseudo-zone defense as an example. Iverson and Stackhouse can easily get open three-point shots.

The former can use teammates' pick-and-rolls to find gaps for shots, while the latter can use Iverson's breakthrough to attract help to defend and gain gaps.

As far as the 76ers team's overall shooting rate is .8%, since two-pointers can't be scored, why not gamble on three-pointers?

In the first two games of the playoffs, the 76ers have taken more three-pointers than in the regular season, but if they want to lure the Bulls out, in Su Feng's view, they have not done enough before.

"Let me shoot about 15 three-pointers in a game?" After listening to Davis' words, Iverson's big eyes sparkled at this moment.

"Yes." Davis patted Iverson on the shoulder and said.

15 three-point shots sounds exaggerated, but Su Feng believes that Iverson can definitely do it.

Because of Su Feng's previous life, during the season, Iverson had many games where he threw more than 10 three-pointers in a single game.

If the Bulls want to prevent him from breaking through, they will definitely choose to let his three-pointer go.

Otherwise, once Rodman makes a save or Pippen goes to the outside, the logic is the same, and the rebound will belong to the 76ers.

As long as Iverson can guarantee a 1-of-3 shooting rate, don't believe it, the 76ers' scoring efficiency will far exceed that of the G2 game.

In fact, this is a very simple math problem.

A three-pointer of 5 out of 15 is equal to 15 points, and based on a person's overall shooting percentage, one shot can probably be exchanged for about 12 points.

Iverson is not Curry, but precisely because he is Iverson, he can make about 15 three-pointers per game in this era.

Harper's personal marking was ineffective against Iverson.

Because Iverson can even complete such a shot without a pick-and-roll.

Of course, after the NBA changes back to the three-point line next season, it is unrealistic for you to expect Iverson to continue to play like this.

Because this guy's career three-point shooting percentage is also of the random type.

Although Iverson practiced a lot of three-pointers this season under Su Feng's advice, Iverson's three-pointers were only a little more stable than Su Feng's at the same time in his previous life.

Curry's touch cannot be achieved without talent.

But does that matter?

It's not important!

Because in this era of shortened three-point lines, Iverson just throws.

If he can hit more than 40% of his shots, the Bulls will have to adjust their defense.

By then, the entire 76ers team will be revitalized by Iverson.

If you don't take advantage of the shortened three-point line, do you really expect the 76ers to be so enthusiastic that they can defeat the Bulls in one go?

Wake up, reality is much crueler than novels and comics.

Starting with Iverson, he led the other 76ers players to bring out the Bulls' defense through crazy three-point shots.

At least this tactic, in Su Feng's view, is the only way for the 76ers to break the Bulls' intensive defense.

Just admit defeat when you are determined. After all, this is the intensity of defense in this era.

It's impossible for Su Feng to suddenly cheat and surpass Jordan in one day, right?

Judging from the process of the first two battles, Su Feng still stacked his armor and got beaten while competing with the "old gangster" to see whose waist was better.

Therefore, looking at Iverson's eager expression, Su Feng felt that every one of the four shooting guards had an iron-blooded three-pointer.

"Su, come practice three-pointers with me for a while."

After getting the right to invest in unlimited waves, Iverson felt a lot of pressure on himself, but he didn't know why...

If possible, he hopes Davis can maintain this intensity.

…

The story of Su Feng and Iverson cramming will not be told for now. On the afternoon of the 28th, the Chicago Bulls also arrived in Philadelphia.

After checking into the hotel, the Bulls players were immediately confused.

Because with the hotel where they are staying as the center of the circle, within one kilometer nearby...

Is this a concert?

When the penetrating noise penetrated the hotel room, all the Bulls players felt as uncomfortable as the fans watching the World Cup in South Africa in the future.

This is definitely a more exaggerated noise than the vuvuzela!

Berlinberg spent a lot of money to invite talented musicians from various high schools in Philadelphia. Anyway, he just made noise no matter what.

Even calling the police on the Bulls side was useless, because the Philadelphia Police Department stated that the Bulls were just in time for the annual Philadelphia "Carnival."

Carnival you MMP!

Since when did Philadelphia have such a tradition?

Don't ask, just ask, everyone in Philadelphia is united as one, and if you have the ability, you can go and complain to the head of the Mi Li family.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, because of the special system of the Mi Li family, you may not be able to use it even if you ask the general.

"Forget it...just bear with it and give earplugs to every player." Jackson said weakly.

However, even a well-informed "Zen Master" could never imagine that Berlinberg was more limitless than he imagined.

The next day, when the Bulls players arrived at the training facility they rented at the agreed time...

They were notified that the air conditioner in the training hall suddenly broke down.

Oh, dear Chicago Bulls players, I'm really sorry, because we lose money every year, so this air conditioner has not been replaced for many years, how about you just make do with it?

The "Zen Master" had no idea. On the 29th, the players were not even allowed to run tactically. After sweating in the training hall, the Bulls players returned to the hotel.

However, just when the Bulls players returned to the hotel and wanted to rest, the damn "Carnival" started again.

To be fair, not everyone is used to sleeping with earplugs.

Therefore, on the morning of the 30th, the main players of the Bulls, including Jordan, had poor sleep quality.

"Let's go to the arena a little earlier and let the players catch up on some sleep there." "Zen Master" sighed helplessly.

…

"Do you think that the opening of the net of this basket is larger than that of ordinary nets?"

When arriving at the Zhongzhou Arena for warm-up training, the always attentive Cole reminded him.

"It seems a bit, what's wrong?" Harper asked curiously.

Cole shook his head first, and then after trying a few more three-pointers, Cole discovered that the 76ers' basket... didn't seem to be as tight as the United Center?

As we all know, because Bulls players do not have an advantage in height, the baskets and backboards at the United Center will be fixed tighter than in ordinary arenas.

In this way, after the basketball is hit, the distance will be farther, and Rodman can give full play to his prediction advantage and fight for offensive rebounds for the team during offense.

The 76ers just went in the opposite direction tonight. Of course, unlike the Bulls, the 76ers also deliberately widened the net tonight.

This is a little trick that the Suns will use in the future. In this way, the basketball will land faster after clearing the net, so that the team can better launch a transition attack.

Home field advantage, what is home field advantage?

NBA teams, who doesn’t have some tips?

Don't treat NBA teams as holy mothers, because in this league, as long as there is a good person, Su Feng will eat up Hill and the old Curry.

Just take a look at each team's cramped visiting team locker room and you'll know.

That is to say, Berlinberg has a kind heart, otherwise things like off-target moves, like the floor, deliberately not playing enough basketball... these can actually be dealt with.

Not even providing hot water to the visiting team has been done by many teams in the NBA.

How can there be absolute fairness in this world?

Since the Bulls failed to defend their home court, if the 76ers didn't take advantage of it, would they be in vain?

In Su Feng's previous life, what bothered him the most was the idiots who thought all NBA teams and stars were good people, because at first glance, such people had never received any beating from society.

Fairness is always relative, not absolute.

If you have a home court advantage but don't take advantage of it, no one in the NBA will say you are a good person. You will only be labeled an "idiot" by your opponents after losing.

On the court, as the players of the two teams began to warm up, in the commentary box, Director Zhang, who was wearing a suit, was so hot that he took off his suit.

"Why is the 76ers' home court so hot?" Zhang Weiping looked at Su Junyang and said.

"I don't know. I remember the last time I came here for an interview, the air conditioner here was quite comfortable." Su Junyang, who was also taking off his suit, said.

Well, let alone the 76ers not giving the Bulls a chance to adapt in advance to playing games without air conditioning.

Tonight, I'm sorry, the air conditioning in Zhongzhou Arena...

It's on strike!

On the Bulls bench, Jackson's eyes were always fixed on Davis.

Because he felt that Davis was too cruel.

Can you just bear to watch your players play in such a sweltering environment?

If you have played in an indoor basketball hall, you will know how painful it is to play in an indoor basketball hall without turning on the air conditioner after the temperature gets higher.

Zhongzhou Arena, which has nearly 20,000 people, has almost turned into a melting pot as more and more fans are present.

The sweaty Bulls players all felt like they were about to have a "heat stroke."

As for the 76ers, although the 76ers players are also having a hard time, the biggest advantage of being young is...

It will be more beneficial to the 76ers to play in this environment where they can injure the enemy by one thousand and injure themselves by eight hundred.

Especially Su Feng. In Su Feng's opinion, the NBA is really good to its players. Even if you want to play ball, you still have to turn on the air conditioner. What kind of bad habit do women have?

In Su Feng's opinion, to play basketball, you have to turn off the air conditioner!

Don't ask, the question is that Su Feng has good physical fitness and strong endurance.

"It's too hot. I can't do it anymore. I'm going to buy a glass of ice cream." In the commentary box, Director Zhang had already used his notebook as a fan.

"Director Zhang, please bring me a drink too!"

"I want a drink too!"

In the arena, although many fans asked the staff why the air conditioning was not turned on tonight, after getting the answer "to beat the Bulls", no one complained anymore even though the fans were uncomfortable.

On the court, when the players from the two teams were undergoing the entrance ceremony, Boss Qiao kept sticking out his tongue, desperately trying to dissipate heat.

At this moment, what Jordan wants to do most is probably soak in an ice bucket.

What's worth mentioning is that when the DJ read Su Feng's long string of prefixes, he specially added the prefix "Michael Jordan's Terminator" to him.

Boss Qiao was furious when he heard this introduction.

But the more angry...

Jordan found himself getting hotter and hotter.

Why?

Why was an excellent team like the 76ers not left to the Heat, but to us?

Jordan's mentality, unconsciously, became a little irritable.

On the 76ers side, Iverson was also sweating.

Before the game started, he pulled Su Feng's clothes and said, "Su, do we really have to play a whole game with the Bulls in this environment?"

Although he had adapted in advance, Iverson couldn't stand it before the game started.

At the critical moment, Su Feng gave a big move in time, "Allen, don't forget, in my mind, you are Philadelphia's 'answer' who will never give up!

What's the point of suffering this little bit? Believe me, the bulls will definitely fail before we do! "

Upon hearing Su Feng's words, Iverson suddenly felt extremely refreshed.

hot?

What is heat?

nonexistent!

By the way, why is it so cool today?

On the court, after the players of the two teams were ready, the big screen also showed the starting lineup of the two teams tonight.

76ers: Ratliff, Big Ben, Su Feng, Stackhouse, Iverson. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Bulls: Rodman, Kukoc, Pippen, Jordan, Harper.

Judging from the starting lineups of the two teams, there are no changes compared to the G2 game.

On the Bulls' bench, "Zen Master"'s calm appearance hides his inner pride.

Because in Jackson's view, even if the 76ers have made so many fancy off-the-table moves, as long as the 76ers can't defeat the Bulls' defense, then tonight, the Bulls will have the last laugh.

Jackson is also very confident about the Bulls' willpower.

In the center of the court, Ratliff and Rodman started the game with a jump ball.

boom--!

Ratliff still didn't give Rodman a chance in the jump ball, and the 76ers launched the first attack.

As soon as he came up, Iverson launched a free bombardment.

Tonight, Philadelphia's "183", the holy cannon arrives!

On the court, after using Crossover to widen the distance between him and Harper, Iverson's three-point bombardment hit the target!

0 to 3!

After giving the 76ers the lead, Iverson pointed to the floor under his feet with both hands and yelled at Harper:

"This is our territory—!"
