All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Utilize "pseudo-joint defense" as precise as clockwork to build a line of defense that will cause your opponents a huge headache...

In the 1997/98 season, the 76ers' defense was able to limit their opponents to less than 87 points per game. In the eyes of Larry Brown, it was an almost perfect answer.

However, before the playoffs began, Brown firmly believed that the 76ers' defense...

There is still room for improvement.

Because in the statistics of assistant coach Cheeks, Brown noticed a very interesting set of data.

That is, in the 30 regular season games that the 76ers lost this season, Su Feng's three-point shooting percentage was only 30.5%, and he missed nearly 5 three-pointers in each game.

Unlike Big Ben, Ratliff, Snow, McGee and others...

If Iverson is a light sword, an endless blade that needs freedom to liberate, then in Brown's view, Su Feng is also an indestructible overlord gun.

In Brown's plan, Su Feng, who has about 60% of the finishing rate at the basket and more than 40% of the mid-range shooting, will be the 76ers' next team-breaking player in this year's playoffs, in addition to Iverson. The perfect choice.

Therefore, in the regular season, whatever Su Feng wants to play, Brown will let him play.

But in the playoffs, Brown believes that Su Feng must take fewer three-pointers.

Because too many three-pointers tend to speed up the pace of the game subconsciously.

Especially after the NBA extended the three-point line this season, NBA three-pointers require extra force when shooting, and it is easy for long rebounds to pop up.

Once you fail to grab an offensive rebound, the consequence is that your opponent will directly push you to counterattack.

Although the rules and versions of the NBA in the future will be different from the current ones, the reason why Cole encouraged Curry and Klay to shoot some unreasonable three-pointers in transition in the future Warriors team is precisely because the Warriors hope that their opponents can speed up and confront them. boom.

And Nelson, who likes to do the opposite, used his strength to explain it before Cole. Even Johnson, a young general with strict military discipline, had to make the Mavericks and the Golden State Bandits run and fight.

But for Brown's defensive philosophy, too fast a game pace will cause the defense to lose its original precision.

Brown has never liked chaos, because in his opinion, the chaos of two sides running back and forth can easily cause the game to get out of control.

To put it into a simple score, if Brown's tactics are understood as operations, then he hopes that the 76ers can kill their opponents in one go.

Therefore, this season the 76ers will never be able to play a miracle team like last season.

According to the schedule, if the 76ers can successfully defeat the defending champion Hawks, their opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be the Pacers.

And this is an opponent that Larry Brown does not want to lose to no matter what.

In Brown's plan, as long as Su Feng is willing to make changes, the 76ers can at least reach the Eastern Conference Finals this season.

As for whether they can get one step closer in the Eastern Conference Finals, it depends on who the 76ers' opponent is and how well the 76ers can do...

…

It is worth mentioning that just before Brown talked to Su Feng, Su Feng was preparing to use the "big trick" to let this "answer" shoot more three-pointers in the playoffs to reduce his pain. Effects of an ankle sprain.

Although Su Feng never told Iverson, he really hoped to win a championship with Iverson.

Perhaps Su Feng loved Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant more in his previous life, but in this life, after becoming "husband and dog friends" with Iverson in Philadelphia, how could it be possible that Iverson had no influence on Su Feng?

As the saying goes, the human heart is made of flesh.

In this era of tense relations between labor and capital, and without knowing whether Brown would be homeless or himself after the "Vagabond Blacksmithing" plan was launched, seizing the moment was all Su Feng could do.

After reviewing the games against the Bulls, Celtics, Jazz, Lakers and other teams this season, Su Feng is very clear that the current 76ers still have potential to be tapped.

Regardless of this season, Iverson's three-point attempts have dropped sharply, and his training volume is not as good as last season.

But in this era when everyone's shooting percentage in the playoffs is generally around 40%, even if Iverson's three-point shooting percentage is only about 30%, it is not a loss in Su Feng's opinion.

Different versions and rules do not mean that the 76ers cannot play a miracle team that is half a step beyond this era.

As long as the 76ers can appropriately increase their three-point shots and bring up the offensive rhythm, then with the defensive abilities of Su Feng, Big Ben, Snow, Ratliff and others, even if they are in chaos, they will often defend in the second place. Three, three defenses and four are enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

But to stabilize operations and compete against these top teams that have been working together for who knows how many years, wouldn't that be unhealthy in Su Feng's view?

According to the schedule, if the 76ers can successfully defeat the Hawks and Pacers, then their opponent in the Eastern Conference finals, in Su Feng's opinion, has a probability of over 99.99% being the Bulls.

And this was an opponent that Su Feng wanted to play against no matter what.

Because once Su Feng is able to play Jordan twice, the "Wandering Blacksmith" plan can smoothly turn into the "Wandering Brown" plan in his plan.

In Su Feng's plan, only children make choices.

To win the championship while leveling up, and even to ask Larry Brown to get out at the same time, this was Su Feng's plan!

Of course, in Su Feng's opinion, it would be extremely difficult to successfully complete the above.

After all, even if the 76ers can play a miracle team, they can't just close the gap with this Bulls.

However, if he didn't do it because it was difficult, then why did Su Feng work hard for so long?

Of course Su Feng has alternatives, but before using the alternatives, moving forward without compromise is Su Feng's way of basketball.

…

"Sue, I think I made it clear, is going to be an integral part of our run in the playoffs, and I hope it's understood that I mean it for the best."

On this day, in the 76ers' general manager's office, Brown specially invited Berlinberg, the 76ers' spokesman, to express his "love" to Su Feng.

Brown is a smart guy.

He did not find Pat Kraus, who was good at making peace, but Berlinberg, who had always obeyed his words, because he knew that he alone might not be able to convince Su Feng.

In Brown's view, John Davis, a thief, had completely "spoiled" Su Feng.

After listening to the "facts" stated by Brown, Berlinberg also said to Su Feng with concern:

"Sue, I know, maybe you still miss John.

But you have to understand, Larry is one of the greatest coaches in this league. Look, how well did they work together in the regular season this season? "

After a pause, perhaps feeling that his hint was not obvious enough, Berlinberg then added:

"We don't know if the collective bargaining negotiations will lead to a suspension of next season.

But Su, I can promise, and Allen are the most valuable assets of this 76ers.

I hope we can become the Michael and Scotty of the next era and join forces to create an era that belongs to the 76ers. "

have to say......

If Su Feng didn't know how the future would develop, then he might still be persuaded by Brown and Berlinberg.

only......

Now comes the first question.

Just now, Brown proved to Su Feng that three-pointers don't work by listing games where the 76ers lost. Isn't this the 90s version of a gangster?

Because if you don’t believe it, go to the games where the Warriors lost and tally the statistics of Klay and the elementary school students to see if their performance is much worse than when they won?

As long as it is not the owner or member of the NBA air-killing group, under normal circumstances, the losing data will definitely not be as good as the winning data.

And with the 76ers' offensive tactics, how can "Ai Feng" maintain excellent touch in every game?

In those games where the 76ers lost, if Su Feng didn't stand up and shoot those unreasonable three-pointers, the 76ers would have died even worse.

Because this season, even Van Gundy led the Knicks to two wins over the 76ers after Ewing was reimbursed.

If no one shoots three-pointers, the opponent's defense will become smaller and smaller. After the All-Star Weekend, Iverson's subsequent critical hit was related to Su Feng.

Because the more explosive Iverson's game is, the less defensive pressure Su Feng faces.

On the contrary, the more stable Su Feng, whose ability to attack difficulties is growing rapidly, the better the output environment for Iverson will be.

This is like when playing DOTA, position 1 was suppressed by the opponent, but position 2 stepped forward to give position 1 some development time, and then position 1 finally stepped forward and took away the game.

The reason why the "golden guns" are the "golden guns" is precisely because of the compatibility between Su Feng and Iverson.

If they don't create a output environment for Iverson, then the 76ers can't expect Iverson to rush into the formation with explosives under the defense of a bunch of tough men, right?

In Su Feng's previous life, Iverson had a 56.5% finishing rate at the basket, which was quite outstanding considering his height.

But in terms of Iverson's talent, if his output environment is better, with his unparalleled speed and over 60% finishing rate at the basket, it is not impossible for him to do it.

In the 2000/01 season, the 76ers' good performance was related to Iverson's 68.6% basket finishing rate in the regular season.

But in the playoffs, Iverson's finishing rate at the basket was only 55.5%.

In fact, in Su Feng's previous life, under Brown's system, Iverson's offense was very enjoyable, but his efficiency was really not high.

Being able to achieve a 68.6% basket finishing rate under HC rules itself proves the breakthrough efficiency of this "answer".

However, in such a season, Iverson only played once under Brown.

To put it bluntly, Brown's offense is more casual than Van Gundy's.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, if he chooses to compromise...

Let alone the championship, this 76ers are very likely to be eliminated in the first round.

Because the Eagles are happy, but the other side of happiness also means that they can play games with a relaxed mind.

As for the pie painted by Berlinberg….

Wake up, every capitalist will promise an infinitely better future when cheating.

And taking a young and outstanding employee like Su Feng as an example, even if the 76ers don't give him such a promise, doesn't Su Feng have anywhere else to go?

…

At the end of this conversation, there was no result.

Su Feng did not choose to argue with Brown on this day, because he knew that Brown was not the kind of person who would make changes if he presented facts and reasoned.

Even if his face is beaten to pieces in the future, Brown still expresses his firm belief in interviews.

As for Brown's fanboy Berlinberg, Su Feng was even less likely to persuade him.

Because when Berlinberg looked at Brown, his pious eyes had already told Su Feng the answer.

Just like that, Su Feng came "coldly" and then left "coldly".

In the 76ers' general manager's office, Berlinberg, who was originally very confident in helping Brown persuade Su Feng to change, was confused because in his memory, Su Feng last season was not that "arrogant".

On the side, Brown was telling Berlinberg that he had tried his best to train Su Feng...

He really worked hard to express his "love" to Su Feng.

Including allowing Su Feng to miss the morning training and allowing him to act recklessly during the game.

Look...

Let's throw the blame away first. In this way, even if the 76ers fail to win the championship this season, it will not be Brown's fault.

Don't be surprised, this was what Brown was best at in Su Feng's previous life.

For example, when coaching the 76ers, he passed the blame to Iverson;

For example, when coaching the US team, the blame was placed on the lineup and Duncan was not suitable for playing FIBA;

For example, when coaching the Bobcats, even if he already has a group of macho men like Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Laga Bell, Raymond Felton, Boris Diaw, and Tyson Chandler;

He also didn't forget to throw the blame to Boss Joe, who had "poor vision" when he left, that the team couldn't make it to the playoffs and could only get out of the playoffs.

All in all, the world may be wrong, but Larry Brown can never be wrong.

It is Milicic who is trash, trash, not Brown who has the problem.

Winning the championship with two Wallaces, Princes, Hamiltons, and Billups is solely the result of Brown and has nothing to do with the players.

Even Su Feng would not question Brown's defensive tactics in this era, but his philosophy is destined to be eliminated by this era.

As for his personality...

If Brown's character can be whitewashed, then maybe everyone in this world is "white."

"Larry, we all understand that this team has achieved unprecedented success under the leadership of Larry.

I think as long as he is willing to give Su more time, he is still willing to change.

After all, he created brilliance for the 76ers last season. "

After listening to Larry Brown complain, Berlinberg never expected that the 76ers already had so many problems with their seemingly bright future.

"I am willing to give him time, but this season, we really hope to win the championship, as long as...

Sue is willing to make a change! "Brown said to Berlinberg while pushing up his glasses helplessly.

champion!

Berlinberg's expression suddenly became serious.

"Wait a minute. If Su is still unwilling to make changes, then I will contact his agent and warn him." For Berlinberg, who understands football, nothing is more rewarding than a championship. He has a sense of accomplishment.

Think about it, he and Krause just took over the 76ers last year, and they hacked eight of the Bulls...

If the 76ers can quickly win the championship, will he and Krause be praised to the sky in the future in this league?

Looking at Berlinberg, who had been completely deceived by him, Larry Brown said with a smile:

"Of course, if Su is willing to change, then everyone will be happy."

…

While Brown was fooling Berlinberg, on the other side, the "cold" Su Feng directly dialed the number of Pat Kraus, the other speaker.

Su Feng, who likes to be straightforward, cannot compromise with Brown and Berlinberg.

Therefore, Su Feng only asked Patkraus the following questions:

"If I hadn't made so many three-pointers in Game 4 against the Bulls, would we have been eliminated?"

"According to Mr. Larry Brown, are the 30 games the 76ers lost this season all because of my three-pointers?"

"If, as he said, I am a person who does not work hard and is not motivated, then it seems that I can play 46.5 minutes in every game and try my best in every game?"

On the phone, faced with Su Feng's questions one after another, Klaus, who was originally planning the 76ers' promotional slogan for the next playoffs, was completely confused between yes and no.

"Is there some misunderstanding between Su... and Larry?"

Unlike Berlinberg, who understands football, Pat Krause, who does not understand football, really regards Su Feng and Iverson as friends.

Therefore, he does not want to see the team have a disagreement between the generals before the playoffs begin.

"I will not change my playing style and style." Su Feng emphasized.

"I know, and I understand, Sue, every player has their own style and their own way of playing, and that's a good thing because that's their trademark," Pat Krause said.

“I am willing to obey Mr. Larry Brown’s defensive tactics, but when it comes to offensive choices, you either listen to me or I don’t play.

If Mr. Larry Brown decides to have his own way, please put me on the playoff injured list.

Then, as you know, I just collaborated with Nike to launch the PS series.

Therefore, if we decide to do this, I will find Nike as soon as possible and tell everything I know through Nike.

Next, I will tell the world through a press conference that Mr. Larry Brown believes that the 76ers' eight-point defeat of the Bulls last season has nothing to do with those three-pointers made by Su Feng.

The so-called 'phenomenon' is just Nike's deliberate marketing to save Michael Jordan's precarious status.

Let that damn PS series sink into the Pacific Ocean! "Su Feng said to Patkraus in a firm and unquestionable tone.

"Su...is this a threat?" Patkraus said after giving a wry smile.

But after pondering for a while, Krause discovered an important problem that Brown and Berlinberg had overlooked.

That is......

What Su Feng said was really not a threat.

because......

If Larry Brown really chooses to go to war with Su Feng, then in order to keep the PS series and the Jordan status that they finally saved...

There will definitely be pressure on the 76ers through the league.

Now Su Feng is no longer the lonely rookie.

Behind him stands the giant Nike.

The story that he defeated Michael Jordan has become a household name.

Just like Stackhouse said, Su Feng's temper is not good at all.

In the era of capital, capital is king, and with all the capital the 76ers have...with Krause's net worth, how can he possibly beat Nike?

Moreover, from what Patkraus heard, Su Feng was not even talking about forcing him to marry.

Because he just wants to play the game according to his own style of play...

Pat Kraus suddenly came to his senses. Although it was just a joke to choose Iverson to assist Su Feng back then, the Su Feng now is...

Jordan of the 76ers.

This guy, unknowingly, has climbed another mountain that is completely opposite to Jordan.

Is he...really only 19?

From Su Feng's words, Klaus could tell that he had long been dissatisfied with Larry Brown.

But if Brown hadn't suddenly asked him to make changes, he would have been willing to dedicate himself to the 76ers.

Mature, sensible and calm.

From the beginning of formulating the "Wandering Blacksmithing" plan, Su Feng had envisioned any situation that might arise in the future.

Su Feng knew very well that with Larry Brown's current reputation, if he clamored to ask the team to change the coach, it would be counterproductive, and the labor relations in the 1990s were completely different from the future.

To put it bluntly, different eras have different ways of playing.

Expressing opinions at different points in time will also bring about completely different effects.

Su Feng, who remains unchanged in response to all changes, has already made plans for everything.

He can stack up and get beaten, or he can accept the situation of losing despite hard work, UU Reading www. ukanshu.net But the only thing is that there is no option to accept the anger.

Looking at the word "shoulder" tattooed under Iverson's bicep, who knows how much Su Feng has planned for the playoffs this year?

"Su, I don't know much about basketball, we all know this...

But I can assure you that no matter what happens, you will not be excluded from the team's playoff roster.

But our star player, in the NBA, who would exclude him from the game if he is not injured? "After thinking for a while, Klaus made a promise to Su Feng.

And after hanging up the phone with Su Feng, Pat Kraus knew...

Perhaps compared to this year's playoffs, the current 76ers...

The problems between generals are what really need him to solve.
