All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

23rd.

The Raptors, who just showed off a wave of "dark words" in New Jersey last night, suffered their second defeat since the start of the new season after returning to Toronto.

Facts have proved that no matter how strong a team is, it is difficult to survive the back-to-back schedule.

It is worth mentioning that the one who defeated the Raptors this time was still...

————Paceers.

Bird, who is waiting for work, once again demonstrated his coaching art.

In Toronto, the Pacers, who were playing away games, first sent out the double-Davis combination of Antonio Davis and Dale Davis.

It was not until the second quarter that Bird, who deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, replaced two veterans, Schmitz and Mullin.

Relying on multiple points, the Pacers quickly established a lead of nearly 10 points at the end of the half.

And in the second half of the game, just when people thought the Pacers would engage in positional warfare with the Raptors...

Bird did the opposite.

He sent substitute Harrington to join Rose, Best and others in a life-and-death racing drama with the Raptors at the Canada Flight Center.

Due to the physical limitations of three days and three games, on this night, even with a tough and tenacious steel core like Su Feng, the Raptors were a little unable to withstand it.

So, in the third quarter of the game, after the Pacers gradually opened up the score, in the fourth quarter of the game, on the Raptors' side, John Davis decided to call it quits.

In a shortened season, it doesn't make sense no matter how much the Raptors win, so in Davis' view, there is no need for the Raptors to pay unnecessary costs in some games that can be lost.

And just like that, the Pacers completed a season doubleheader against the Raptors.

For a time, Larry Bird, a legend who was famous in the NBA during his playing days, naturally became the coach of many coaches who were abused by Davis until their mentality collapsed...

Be the first to learn and imitate.

only......

After the game, in an interview, Bird ruthlessly said, "Actually, I don't know how we won"...

Broken the hearts of countless "Van Gundys".

Moreover, in order to prevent people from thinking that he was pretending to be a cup, Cup King Bird also added: "If you don't believe it, you can watch the game video.

To be honest, if you have to ask me the secret to beating the Raptors, in my opinion, the most important thing is that you have to pray before the game starts and luck will be on your side. "

All right......

Bird, who originally just told the truth, could never have imagined that his sentence, that only luck can defeat the Raptors, would be mentioned countless times in the future...

…

On the 24th, the Raptors had a day off.

On the 25th, the entire Raptors team rushed to Boston to prepare for their fourth game in the past five days.

By the way, before the game against the Celtics started, Davis, who got along well with Jordan in the new season, had a dispute with the "old gangster".

The reason is that because the intensity of the games in the shortened season is too high, Davis hopes that Jordan can rest in the next games.

However, at this time in the 1990s, the concept of "healthy basketball" was too advanced.

Like Barkley, his good friend who has not yet fallen out, for someone like Jordan, do you want him to rest?

That was unless his legs were broken by someone Su.

"I can't rest, John, please carry me off the court after I'm dead!" Jordan said to Davis firmly.

No idea.

Looking at the stubborn Qiao Laoqiang, for a while, even if Davis had read "Emotional Intelligence", he didn't know how to persuade him to rest.

You know, Jordan is patient and patient, but in this shortened season, no one can guarantee that the 36-year-old Jordan will not have an accident.

And just when Davis and Jordan were arguing, at the critical moment, the weather in Toronto was not clear...

Of course, it depends on Su Feng.

Su Feng, who knew that "Emotional Intelligence" would not be able to persuade Jordan at this time, decisively took out the famous book "Overall View" from his crotch.

"Michael, you know, in my eyes, even if you are 50 years old, you will have no problem playing 40 minutes per game in the NBA." Patting the "old gangster" on the shoulder, Su Feng looked at him with "admiration" on his face. He said.

After saying "Oh" with satisfaction, Jordan was now willing to listen to Su Feng continue talking.

"But, Michael, have you forgotten our previous plan?" Su Feng hinted at Jordan with a crazy wink.

Although he failed to react immediately, as a "smart man", in order to avoid the young people who were watching at this time from misunderstanding that his IQ was similar to Carter's, Jordan nodded decisively.

"Michael, believe me, whether it is for the team to go further in the playoffs or for yourself, resting now will definitely only be good for you." Su Feng said with a smile.

After noticing Jordan's doubtful expression, he had already taken the bait...

Su Feng quickly closed the net.

Next, Su Feng first analyzed the recent market and public opinion trends for Jordan;

Immediately afterwards, Su Feng analyzed Jordan's current physical condition;

In the end, in front of the championship, Jordan, who had not yet returned the double business to God, was completely moved by Su Feng.

To put it simply...

For the 36-year-old Jordan, if he continues to be a hero, it would be fine if he succeeds, but what if he fails?

At the beginning of the season, in addition to setting the general goal of "inheriting basketball" with Jordan, Su Feng asked Jordan to maintain his senior character as much as possible in order to cooperate with the follow-up promotion of the "Veterans Never Die" script.

In the field of competitive sports, no one can beat time.

However, the veteran's immortality is definitely the most tear-jerking script in competitive sports.

In Su Feng's previous life, even if he was not a football fan, he was still willing to cheer for Chelsea when those old boys were moving forward.

only......

It sounds poisonous too.

Because if you look at the history of modern football, you will find that the Bayern team is simply a dream come true in football.

Ahem, I'm going off topic again, let's get down to business.

Under the deception of Su Feng's perfect essay, Jordan quickly made his choice based on his own situation.

"No problem, I can take a break during the regular season." Jordan said, touching Su Feng's head.

On the side, looking at Su Feng who had subdued Jordan, for a moment, Davis felt like he had seen this scene before.

But that's all, anyway, as long as Boss Joe is willing to take turns, it will be great news for the Raptors.

Because the Raptors' number one position in the league is no longer stable, so it's still the same reason...

In the shortened season, as long as he can ensure the league's first place, winning a few more games and losing a few fewer games will have no impact at all in Davis's eyes.

So, on the 25th, as the Raptors headed toward Boston, as news spread that Jordan was injured in training, countless "50-year Raptors fans" began to express their opinions on the Raptors' prospects. Feelings of worry...

"Michael is definitely the most dedicated player I've ever seen.

All his achievements in the past are related to his hard work.

However, just like no matter how good a sports car is, it still needs to stop for refueling and repairs from time to time.

I think Michael needs some time off. "

Before the game against the Celtics, when asked how long it would take for Jordan to return, Davis said he felt "deeply sad".

"If Michael is as young as I am now, if Michael is as young and strong as he was when he won three straight championships, then in my mind, no injury can stop him.

However, he is now 36 years old. Although I also think Michael will not age, the reality is so cruel. Next, as the leader of this Raptors, I will lead the Raptors to move forward.

ha? How long will Michael be absent?

To be honest, I don't know this either.

But I know that people's dreams will never stop. "Su Feng, who attended the pre-match press conference with Davis, said this in an interview.

In this way, under the deliberate guidance of Su Feng and Davis, the pair of masters and disciples, Jordan was full of high spirits when he was young;

And the invincibility when reaching the peak;

And the image of a hero who never languishes in his old age...

It was just established.

And as the saying goes, no matter how good a star is, he still needs packaging.

In New York, after noticing the Raptors' promotional intentions, Stern immediately cooperated and asked the media to start reporting on Jordan's age, his fighting spirit, and his professionalism.

In Su Feng's previous life, if Wizard Joe could change his persona and appear in front of people, then even if the Wizards had a poor record, Jordan's career would be more glorious.

In this life, after his destiny was completely tied to Jordan, Su Feng knew very well that in the future, he had already beaten Jordan by 99 meters on the topic of "surpassing Jordan", and he was not afraid that Jordan's image would be taller than in his previous life. , more glorious.

Because if Jordan's image is not tall enough, then as a god-killer, could it be that he killed a person?

No one knows better than Su Feng, who fights hand-to-hand with Jordan every day in training, that the 36-year-old Boss Qiao can no longer afford the title of "God of Basketball"...

So as early as the beginning of the season, Su Feng had thought of everything for Jordan.

Instead of fighting over who is the leader of the Raptors, why not achieve each other and climb the unattainable peak together?

In Boston, before the start of the battle between the Raptors and the Celtics, public opinion had completely shifted towards the Raptors.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, the "old and frail" Auerbach also patted Duncan on the shoulder before the game started and said: "Tim, I know you have a good personal relationship with Sue."

"But you have to remember that as long as you are on the court, you two are enemies.

There is only one championship in the NBA, and in this era, Su will definitely be your number one enemy. "

For Auerbach, who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, he is very clear that once Jordan abdicates, even if Su Feng is a "crooked nut", based on his achievements in defeating the peak Jordan head-on, his reputation will definitely be far beyond the This group of players at the same time.

And judging from the recent NBA publicity trends, Auerbach knows that Stern is deliberately promoting Su Feng as a leader of international players to promote the global development of the NBA.

so......

Auerbach, who hopes Duncan can become the number one player in the NBA in the future, doesn't want Duncan to be merciful when facing Su Feng.

Because in competitive sports...

Falling in love and killing each other is the way to go.

However, this time, the "Cardinal"'s worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Because how could Duncan show mercy when facing Su Feng?

Well, look, after the pre-game warm-up, how vigorously did Duncan touch Su Feng's head?

“The NBA right now is really Home Alone.

Let's see tonight whether the young player Duncan is better, or whether the young player Su Feng can lead the Raptors to win this key battle known as a preview of this year's Eastern Conference finals in the absence of Michael Jordan. "Datianchao TV Station, when doing a pre-match preview, Director Zhang joked.

Young general Duncan, young general Su Feng...

Who knows whether the commentators 20 years from now will cry and laugh at the same time when reviewing Director Zhang’s commentary quotes.

At the scene in Boston, after the players from both teams finished warming up, the starters from both teams stepped onto the court one after another.

Raptors: Ben, Smith, Su Feng, Carter, Nash.

Celtics: Duncan, Ladia, Bowen, Ray Allen, Marbury.

In the new season, just like in Su Feng's memory, Auerbach changed Duncan's registered position to power forward in order to allow Duncan to avoid the monster O'Neal in the award selection.

certainly......

In actual games, Duncan is undoubtedly the true C of this Celtics.

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the Celtics played the first attack.

In the new season, Marbury, who was trained extremely well by Auerbach, averaged 18.9 points, 8.8 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game.

Judging from the running-in with Duncan, in this life, Marbury wearing the Green Army jersey is not only more efficient, but also able to display his offensive talents as much as he wants when he is needed to grab points.

It was impossible for Nash to stop Marbury's breakthrough, so tonight on defense, Davis once again chose to go ahead and choose mismatch defense.

That is, Su Feng will face Marbury, while Nash will face Bowen.

No matter how Bowen changes, his offensive capabilities are limited.

Therefore, no matter how nervous Nash's defense is, Bowen can't beat him.

However, just as Su Feng was wrapping around Marbury, the solid young player Duncan gave him an elbow with a smile.

Su Feng, who couldn't get around Duncan's pick-and-roll, wasn't angry and directly chose to switch defenses with Smith.

However, although Su Feng's choice was decisive, the Celtics had already formed two mismatches on the court.

There is a wise saying in the NBA:

——No matter how good the offensive routine is, it is better to play a good pick-and-roll.

Because of the pick-and-roll tactic, as long as it can be played smoothly, even if it cannot directly form an offensive, it can also indirectly cause dislocation.

On the court, Marbury did not give the ball to Duncan.

Full of personality, he drove straight into Smith's defense after dribbling continuously.

0 to 2.

Marbury gave the Celtics the lead with a layup after shaking off Smith.

Coming back, the Raptors quickly hit the baseline ball.

According to Su Feng's reminder before the game, Nash, who was responsible for dribbling and counterattacking, avoided various "minefields" along the way.

Hong Kong is really...

Without Su Feng's help in clearing mines, even a dribbling leader like Nash would have to suffer a hidden loss in the North Shore Garden Arena.

However, in order to "avoid lightning", Nash's ball passing halftime is definitely not as fast as before.

So taking advantage of the situation, the Celtics' retreat defense was also in place.

However, just when people thought the Raptors' ball was going to change gears, suddenly...

Nash pulled his bolt!

In order to prevent Nash from breaking through immediately, Marbury was stunned when the ball retreated slightly...

Haha, do you really think that Nash can't score because he mainly assists?

In Su Feng's previous life, it was not a joke to say that Nash could win the scoring title. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Because, strictly speaking, Nash is not a purely traditional defender.

He is more like a combination of a traditional guard like Stockton and an offensive guard like Curry.

If Nash's physical fitness can be better, it makes sense...

In the 21st century, the one who rules the NBA is definitely the "Sun King".

Swish——!

3 to 2.

On the court, after scoring a goal, Nash touched the soles of his shoes with his hand, and then after licking them, when retreating, he also took the initiative to extend his hand, preparing to give Su Feng a high-five...

"..."
