All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 196 The Godfather of Basketball!

After the 76ers struggled to win Game 3...

It was pretty much what Berlinberg expected. After the game, at the press conference, Harper, who attended the press conference with "Zen Master", said in an interview:

"I hope the Sixers can fix their home air conditioning as soon as possible.

Because you also know that I am 32 years old this year.

I'm not Michael, playing at such a high intensity in this environment, I'm worried about whether I'm going to walk out of the next game alive. "

If the media and Bulls fans in the Windy City felt as bitter as drinking coffee after the Bulls lost Game 3, then Harper's slightly joking interview at the press conference undoubtedly diluted the bitterness. A lot.

A dynasty's master is a dynasty's master.

In terms of handling losses after the game, it is definitely worth learning for many teams.

After the game, "Zen Master" brought neither Jordan nor Pippen to the press conference.

The reason why he chose Harper is simple, because there are some things that Jordan and Pippen can't say.

As an excellent tool man, Harper naturally knows what "Zen Master" means.

First of all, no matter what the process of this game is, the result is that the Bulls lost, and this is irreversible.

Therefore, instead of complaining, it is better to "protest" more directly.

Of course, the scale of this "protest" must also be grasped.

Because although there is no lower limit for turning off the air conditioner during the war...

But if Jordan and Pippen took the lead in the Bulls' "protest" after the game, it would definitely arouse the doubts of countless "Joe Black" and "Bull Black".

After all, the game environment is relative. The Bulls are afraid of heat. Are the 76ers very comfortable?

Harper, who has certain qualifications, "protested" in a joking tone, which is the high emotional intelligence of the Bulls team.

There was no bitter, whiny complaint, but instead it demonstrated the Bulls' fighting spirit in the G3 game.

Then, through a ridiculing tone and verbal hints, people's attention was directed to the "old hooligan" who was still able to score 52 points while playing in this environment, and harvested a wave of sympathy from neutral fans. Heart......

How can the world of NBA be so simple?

It's obvious that Stern is very satisfied with the Bulls' post-game marketing.

Because the 76ers quickly received a notice from the league, asking them to hurry up and repair the air conditioner.

Speaking of which, the ratings and attention of this year's series between the Bulls and the 76ers have already exceeded Stern's expectations.

Perhaps the only thing that makes Stern uncomfortable is that there are currently only 5 games in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The battle between the Bulls and the 76ers will not be staged in the Eastern Conference Finals.

You said, for a series that is full of topics and enough to write a novel, it will end in only 5 games. How can Stern tolerate this?

Su Feng, who was returning to the factory for repairs, never dreamed that this series between the 76ers and the Bulls would completely change the format of the first round of the NBA playoffs in the near future.

The G4 game between the 76ers and the Bulls will start on May 2, and both teams have only one day of rest.

After the G3 game, through a wave of successful post-game marketing, the Bulls instantly made the 76ers the "big villains."

Su Feng had no time to deal with those pen guys who were complaining about the 76ers, because without a keyboard, Su Feng felt that it was really a disadvantage for him to face the laning.

There are many public opinions that speak for the 76ers. Anyway, it is nothing more than...

Auerbach, come out and get beaten!

Poor "Cardinal", you said it would be okay if you couldn't draw Duncan's SSR for a while, but now you have to lie down and take the blame for the 76ers. Doesn't this stop the old man from happily enjoying his retirement life?

It is worth mentioning that on the afternoon of the 1st, when the team was conducting recovery training...

Davis found that except for Su Feng, the physical recovery status of other 76ers players was very poor.

Obviously, the intensity of the G3 game has far exceeded that of a normal playoff game.

With only one day to rest, even Su Feng's current physical condition can only be said to be better than that of ordinary people.

However, under Su Feng's hint, Davis quickly reacted.

Since the young 76ers have not been able to recover, the Bulls must have recovered even worse than they did.

In Su Feng's view, if the 76ers can perform as well as they did in the G3 game, then the possibility of them eliminating the Bulls with a score of 3 to 1 is as high as 60%.

Hey, this is really not Su Feng's expansion.

Because if it weren't for the fear of the "old gangster" and the awe of this bull...

In Su Feng's opinion, the 76ers' probability of eliminating the Bulls 3-1 is even close to 90%.

The reason why Su Feng has such confidence is simple:

Time is the biggest enemy of this Bull right now.

Assuming that the overall rating of this Bulls is yes, then because of their restrained style of play, when facing the 76ers, the Bulls can only perform at a level of about 90 at most.

After the G3 game, the severely depleted 76ers would be good if they could have a rating of 75, but the Bulls opposite them may not even have a rating of 70...

This season, in the regular season, the Bulls' price to stay first in the league is greater than Su Feng's previous life.

Under the circumstances of this ebb and flow, for the 76ers, the G4 game is undoubtedly their best opportunity to create a miracle.

Although I don’t know why Rodman gave up elbowing himself in the fourth quarter in the G3 game, Su Feng still reminded Iverson just to be on the safe side.

"Okay, don't worry, Su, I'm not the kind of fool who can't protect myself." Iverson smiled and elbowed Su Feng.

"..."

Allen, are you doing this? It's because you were such a "fool" in my previous life, so I specially reminded you.

In this series, Iverson is the most important output player for the 76ers.

If his DPS is gone, where will the 76ers go to replace these 20 to 30 points of output?

After Iverson gave himself another assurance, Su Feng still felt that it was not safe enough.

"Ben, it's your mission to protect Allen in the next game! Do you understand?" During the training break, Su Feng found Ben.

Big Ben nodded, "It's on me. If Dennis dares to do something bad to Allen, I will definitely punch him until he retires."

Seeing Big Ben's fist that was bigger than a casserole, Su Feng felt relieved.

While the 76ers were undergoing recovery training, on the other side, the Bulls players who were conducting recovery training in the 76ers' old arena were alive and well.

Oh, the damn air conditioner!

Regarding the defeat in the G3 battle, "Zen Master" had already come up with a countermeasure, but as Su Feng expected, the problem before Jackson at this moment was no longer tactics.

Is the physical recovery status of the Bulls team simply bad?

Major players such as Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Harper were extremely exhausted after practicing shooting for a while.

"Zen Master" knows that the Bulls need to add more players to the rotation.

No matter how much they like to fuck up the main players, the Bulls had to let Jordan and others take a proper rest in the G4 game.

"Our physical condition will definitely be within John's expectation." Jackson emphasized when discussing tactics with the assistant coaches.

John Davis, what kind of god are you?

In all the years that Jackson has been coaching, he has never encountered an opponent who is so capable of calculating.

Not only does he understand his own coaching habits, but he can also infer his next tactical approach based on some of his own habits.

For people like Davis, Jackson seems outrageous.

"Well...Phil Jackson should just change these routines, right?"

On the evening of the 1st, after training, Su Feng did not rest.

He took out a notebook he had specially compiled with a thousand and one routines about Phil Jackson and studied them over and over again.

As the most pious Qiao Mi in the world, Su Feng had certainly studied "Zen Master" in his previous life.

And unlike most keyboard warriors, Su Feng not only studied Jackson's tactical concepts, he even studied the "Zen Master's" private life and his conduct as a person.

Coupled with his previous experience in this life, it was not difficult for Su Feng to deduce the Bulls' tactical changes in the G4 battle.

If Su Feng's estimate is good, then the Bulls will play in the G4 next...

It will definitely change the defensive strategy against Iverson.

"If we want to limit our three-pointers, we must limit Iverson, so...'Old Rogue' will definitely propose that he guard Iverson."

"Harper was beaten by Iverson in three consecutive games. He is not the Bulls' best choice to defend Iverson."

Although in Su Feng's view, Jordan's defense against Iverson was also misplaced, this was the only change the Bulls could make out of desperation.

Su Feng had never doubted the "old gangster"'s willpower.

Therefore, it is hard to say that Iverson may really be "defended" by Jordan.

Well... Jordan doesn't need to completely guard Iverson, he just needs to make it impossible for Iverson to take easy shots from the outside.

"So looking at it this way, once the Bulls make such a change, they will most likely use Harper to guard me, and then let Pippen go inside to protect the penalty area with Rodman."

Ron Harper…

Although from Su Feng's point of view, the above speculations were just speculations on his part, for the sake of stability, Su Feng asked the assistant coach for the game video from Harper's perspective before the training ended.

Blocking every road for the bull so that the bull has no way to go was Su Feng's plan.

On the 2nd, Philadelphia really ushered in the "Carnival" this time.

The streets and alleys are full of fans wearing 76ers playoff T-shirts and team uniforms.

Most of them couldn't be there to watch the game, but that didn't stop the fans from wanting to cheer for the team.

As long as they can win tonight's game, the 76ers will become another team after the Nuggets to complete the black eight.

The Bulls, who dominated the league last year, were robbed by the young Philadelphia robbers until they were down to their last pair of underwear.

Perhaps, at this moment, the only person who can understand the mood of the Bulls is Pat Riley, who is preparing for the fourth game with the Magic in Orlando...

Originally, it was a very happy thing to have the bull's horns broken off by the 76ers, but...

In Orlando, who would have thought that the desperate Penny would pour a bucket of ice water on the Heat in the summer.

To be honest, it's hard to get Hardaway's signature, but at least in this series with the Heat, he definitely deserves the title of "Jordan's successor."

Hardaway, who had played behind closed doors for seven consecutive games, had forgotten what pain felt like when he was warming up.

win......

Win this series and tell that fat guy swimming to Los Angeles that I can do without him!

Similar to Su Feng's reliance on Kobe for motivation, Hardaway's motivation comes almost entirely from O'Neal.

so......

NBA’s bloody Qiong Yao drama, who knows when it will end?

In Los Angeles, after losing to the Trail Blazers in the last game, the Lakers players were relatively relaxed.

Before the start of this game, Harris decided to increase Kobe's playing time.

No matter how eye-catching the Lakers' outside players were in the G3 game, O'Neal likes Kobe so much.

"Do you think the 76ers will knock the Bulls out?" Eddie Jones asked curiously while changing equipment in the locker room.

"It's hard for me to say, because the Bulls can't solve Allen." Van Exel, who was ravaged by Iverson, said.

"Really? But I'm still optimistic about the Bulls, because I really can't believe that they will fall in the first round." Horry said.

Listening to the discussion among his teammates, Kobe's mood was a bit complicated at the moment.

As Su Feng's best friend, he certainly hopes that Su Feng can advance smoothly.

But......

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!" At this moment, Kobe wanted to drive Su Feng out of his mind.

You said, why was it so hard for you to think about teaching this guy how to play basketball?

Zhongzhou Arena, to be honest, when entering this arena, the Bulls players had a psychological shadow.

Because they are afraid that the 76ers will ignore the league's urging and continue to turn off the air conditioning...

Don't believe it when I tell you. In the eyes of "Zen Master" and others, Davis is the one who would do such a thing, given that he has no lower limit.

"I heard that Su was a low-key and honest player before joining the 76ers."

I don't know where Harper got this kind of news. Anyway, after Harper said this, the Bulls players unanimously believed that it was definitely Davis who taught Su Feng bad.

"It makes sense. After all, Su is only 19 years old and usually seems quite 'well-behaved'." Cole nodded.

Now, in the Bulls, John Davis has become synonymous with shamelessness.

Fortunately, after entering the Zhongzhou Arena and feeling the cool playing environment, all the Bulls players breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they don't have to play in that "purgatory on earth", the Bulls players are still confident that they can win this G4 game.

As a result, the Bulls players, who were more confident, began to warm up on the court.

After a while of shooting training, Cole said with some confusion: "Do you think...it's a little cold tonight?"

Originally...it was okay if Cole didn't say anything, but after he reminded him, the other Bulls players felt a little cold...

"Don't think about this!

If the 76ers provide us with a comfortable playing environment, that would be the strangest thing, right? "After sighing at his big hand, how calm was Jordan's expression at this moment?

Jordan's "calmness" often means that he has entered the "state" in the eyes of Bulls players who are familiar with Jordan's character.

Speaking of which, in the memories of these Bulls players, they have never lost in Jordan's "state".

Come on, 76ers, if you have any tricks, just use them!

Well, I have something to say...

In fact, Cole's feeling a little cold was entirely psychological.

Because you just finished the last game in hell on earth. How can you forget that feeling for a while?

To put it simply, this is the legendary persecutory paranoia.

When you have been tricked too many times, even if your opponent does not trick you, you will preconceptionally think that your opponent must be planning something.

In the Zhongzhou Arena, as more and more fans took their seats, everyone’s biggest feeling was:

Although the air conditioning is very comfortable tonight, if it is for the team to win, the 76ers fans can still endure it.

but......

Even if the air conditioning is turned on, Zhongzhou Arena is definitely a devil's home stadium.

At 8:30 p.m., when the players of the two teams finished their warm-up and returned to the bench to wait for the entrance ceremony, nearly 20,000 fans at the scene, led by DJ, started to have a crowd.

The atmosphere of the entire arena reached its peak in an instant.

The exaggerated home atmosphere, coupled with the situation of being behind 1-2, and having to play the G4 game with the 76ers immediately after only one day of rest, for the Bulls, this is definitely an epic test.

On the Bulls' bench, "Zen Master" looked at Davis and hugged him tighter while crossing his arms.

Will Davis still guess the Bulls' plan for this game?

Although he has full confidence in this Bulls, at this moment, even Phil Jackson really dare not guarantee that the Bulls will not be hacked by the 76ers.

After the opening ceremony that was unique to the 76ers, the big screen at the Zhongzhou Arena showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

76ers: Ratliff, Big Ben, Su Feng, Stackhouse, Iverson.

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

Still the same starter as Zhan.

But the difference is that tonight the Bulls are really planning to use Jordan to defend Iverson.

Moreover, this was Jordan's own proposal.

It's not that Jordan doesn't trust his teammates, but that at this moment of life and death, even if he is hacked, Jordan wants to die by his own hands.

In the center of the stadium, under the gaze of fans from China and the United States in front of the TV, UU reads a book www.uukanshu. net Ratliff and Rodman jumped the ball to start this G4 battle!

As the Bulls set up their defensive posture on the court, Jason and Rick were stunned on the 76ers bench!

Exactly the same...

Exactly what Davis said!

The Bulls really used Jordan to defend Iverson and Harper to defend Su Feng!

On the court, after a brief moment of astonishment, Iverson followed the coach's pre-game arrangement and signaled his teammates to let Su Feng go.

"John! You are so amazing!"

Jason and Rick were as excited as if the 76ers had completed Black Eight.

Davis scratched his head, although he could not remember clearly why he suddenly pulled the players to make such an arrangement before the game...

But when he thought about it, such a last-minute response shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"Calm down, the game has just begun."

After calmly turning his head and saying this to Jason and Rick, Davis did not know that in the minds of these two assistant coaches, his personality was completely different!

Calm, composed, and always able to guess every move of his opponent...

He, John Davis, is not the godfather of basketball, who is?
