All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

On June 1st, the G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Raptors and Celtics continued at the Canada Flight Center Arena.

Because of the basketball craze caused by the Raptors, there has been a sharp contrast in ratings between games with and without the Raptors in the playoffs.

Therefore, at the league's regular meeting on the 31st, in order to end his miserable career in Africa as soon as possible, "Joke", who considered the overall situation, decisively made a suggestion to Stern that he should find a way to let the Raptors play more games.

As a result, the "joke" proposal was directly rejected by Stern.

In the 2000/01 season, the Lakers had been winning consecutive games in the playoffs, but they were not beaten by the 76ers until the Finals.

At that time, because of Iverson's never-give-up fighting spirit, that round of the finals successfully attracted a lot of attention.

But even so, Stern did not force that round of finals to last seven games.

Because Stern knows better than anyone else that the script must be manipulated appropriately.

No matter how tempting the temporary benefits are, they are only temporary.

At the moment, whether the Raptors win more or less doesn't matter at all to Stern.

The important thing is that if an offensive team like the Raptors can win the championship, it will inevitably cause other teams to follow suit in the future.

Stern, who has been in charge of the NBA for many years, has long seen through the minds of these hardcore slaves.

To put it bluntly, the NBA is a really cool league.

Even if most coaches mess around, they will still copy the homework that needs to be copied.

Therefore, in Stern's view, instead of thinking about how many games the Raptors will play with the Celtics, it is better to think about how the league will operate after the Raptors and Lakers reach the finals.

On the 31st, after the Lakers scored another victory, leading the Trail Blazers 2-0, they had already opened the door to the finals.

Now, those high school students who were defeated by Lower Merion can finally hold their heads high.

Because even though they were beaten badly by Suko and Suko in the early years, when you think about it...

Is it a shame to lose to two players who are about to meet in the finals in the third season of their careers?

Of course, although the outside world is very much looking forward to a decisive battle between the Raptors and the Lakers in the finals to determine who is the boss of Lower Merion...

But for the steady Su Feng, everything is still unknown until the Celtics are defeated.

In the second game between the Raptors and the Celtics, Auerbach made adjustments to the team's starting lineup.

During the regular season, Damon Jones, the "number one shooter in the universe" who was traded to Boston by the team, replaced Bowen and appeared in the Celtics' starting lineup.

Unlike those coaches who want to prevent the Raptors from dying, Auerbach, who has studied the Raptors thoroughly, knows very well that if they want to defeat this Raptors, the Celtics must put more effort into their offense. .

As a non-draft player, in Su Feng's previous life, Damon Jones was even more famous than some ordinary stars in the Rabbit family.

Because if you only look at the advertisements Li Ning shot for him, you will definitely think that this guy is a superstar.

Then, James was miserable.

Because in the future, when many people think that the early Cavaliers lacked super pitchers, someone will always stand up and add this:

Cavaliers need pitching? One person, Damon Jones, can fight two!

But......

In fact, Damon Jones's career scoring average is only 6.6 points per game. Except for his record of 10+ points in a single season during the Heat, this guy can be regarded as an excellent substitute at most in the NBA.

In this game, Auerbach sent Jones, whose career scoring almost consisted of three points, to play, and his intention was very obvious.

That's because the "Cardinal" knows that if Ray Allen cannot be released, it will be impossible for the Celtics to make a comeback in this series with the Raptors.

only......

After half a quarter of the first quarter, Auerbach discovered that he had also made a mistake in being impatient.

Because Bowen couldn't guard Su Feng in the first game, he couldn't guard Su Feng, but Bowen had a fight with Su Feng for the whole game.

In the absence of Bowen, the only one left on the Celtics side who can compete with Su Feng is Ray Allen.

Then, before Jones could help the Celtics open up the space with a three-pointer, Ray Allen had to face Su Feng on both offense and defense...

He had already been tortured by Su Feng to the point of ecstasy.

In terms of style, a player like Su Feng is simply like Allen.

On the court, touching his suddenly swollen chest muscles, Ray Allen cursed Su Feng in his heart how many times that night.

Do not make jokes!

For an assassin like Ray Allen, how could Su Feng give him even the slightest chance to prove himself?

It seemed that Su Feng had crushed Ray Allen in all aspects since the first game, but in fact, the price Su Feng paid to prevent Ray Allen from dying was not small.

Because if the opponent's threat level is ranked on a 2K difficulty level, the threat level of Ray Allen's "gentleman's sword" will definitely be a hall of fame in Su Feng's heart.

In Su Feng's previous life, Ray Allen was not only the NBA's historical three-point leader before he time traveled, having made 2,973 three-pointers, but in the playoffs, Ray Allen's career playoff three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40%. above.

If Ray Allen, who has a big heart, is released in this series, it will be a disaster for the Raptors.

Therefore, in order to protect his teammates and his own smile, he, Su Feng, did not torture Ray Allen to death. What was the difference between that and stabbing himself twice with a sword?

Unfortunately......

Just when Su Feng was about to step up his efforts to "breast augmentation" for Ray Allen, Auerbach, who corrected his mistakes, quickly brought Bowen up again.

So just like that, Jones, the "number one shooter in the universe", wept slightly and walked away gently without making a single three-pointer...

What is different from the first game in the Airline Center Arena is that if the first game was a back-and-forth battle between Duncan and Su Feng, then this game turned into a battle to clear the name of Tracy's younger brother.

Like Su Feng, McGrady is good at pull-ups, and his hit rate can only be explained by quantum mechanics.

In this game, facing Marbury, who is much shorter than himself, McGrady, who has a good touch, decisively applied to Boss Su and Boss Joe for unlimited firing rights.

In the time and space of Su Feng's previous life, there were always many people who thought that McGrady lacked the desire to win, but you must know that in McGrady's playoff career, this guy has hit 30+ 4 times and 25+ 2 times. .

If he didn't want to win, there's no way McGrady would work so hard.

This season, even though McGrady has been working hard and without complaint, in his heart, he is also very eager to get cheers like his cousin.

With McGrady's excellent touch, Su Feng and Jordan also showed their "generous" side in the second game.

As a result, in the Airline Center Arena, Ray Allen, who had just been freed from the heavy responsibility of defending Su Feng, quickly received new instructions from Auerbach:

Ray, come on!

Go help Stephen!

On the court, Marbury's mentality had already exploded after being punched in the face by Tracy McGrady.

Because like Su Feng, once McGrady's moves are accurate, he is also the kind of unreasonable being.

On the basketball court, the most irritating thing is exactly this kind of offense.

"Teacher, in my opinion, the Raptors team has nothing unique except for its singles play." On the Celtics bench, a frustrated Karl said to Auerbach.

On the side, Auerbach patted Karl's shoulder earnestly and said: "Miller, do you think this Raptors is not playing as a team at all?"

Carl nodded.

"But you know what, Miller, in my opinion, this Raptors is far more of a team than we are." Auerbach said to Karl.

Hearing this, Carl was stunned.

“It seems like the Raptors players are working on their own in this game, but in fact, each of them knows their responsibilities very well.

Miller, think about it carefully, why have we been unable to solve the Raptors' singles in this series so far? ” Auerbach then asked.

After carefully recalling the progress of the first game and the scenes of this game so far, Karl felt that he had been sweating on his back.

Because after Auerbach's reminder, Carl soon discovered an unacceptable fact.

That is:

When the Raptors formed a singles, the Celtics simply could not effectively restrict the Raptors.

"Miller, if you want to surpass John in the future...

From now on, you must carefully study every tactical arrangement of John, and spend twice as much time thinking about why he does what he does. "Patting Miller on the shoulder, Auerbach said to him.

Think about what John would do?

On the sidelines, after taking a deep breath, Miller Carr began to take out his small notebook and carefully studied every tactical detail of the Raptors on the court.

On the other side, on the Raptors bench, Davis, who felt that he had no role in this game, felt a little sleepy...

…

In the end, relying on McGrady's outstanding performance and the continuous output of the second team, the Raptors made another victory and rewritten the big score in this round of Eastern Conference finals to 2-0.

In this game, the score was 99 to 113.

McGrady scored a Raptors-high 27 points, while Su Feng and Boss Joe scored 48 points, 19 rebounds and 9 assists.

For the Celtics, Duncan is still in excellent form. During the game, Duncan, who stabilized the situation for the Celtics many times, scored a game-high 29 points, plus 17 rebounds, 3 blocks, 4 assists and 2 steals.

However, even if Duncan blows up the budget on one side, the Celtics cannot change the fact that they cannot compete with the Raptors on the outside.

But fortunately, in Boston, the "renovation" work of the North Shore Garden Arena has been completed.

For the veteran Auerbach, like his disciple Bird, he is also the kind of person who will not give up easily before everything is finalized.

On the way back to Boston, Karl, who was thinking about "what John would do", was reviewing the first two games of the two teams and came up with more and more details about these two games.

In this life, Miller Carr's fate has also been rewritten. Although he has been living in Auerbach's infancy, looking at his aging mentor, he wants to share the pressure with his mentor. He happens to be the kind of person who is willing to learn and A coach who is willing to change.

As for the coaching position, coaches like Miller who are willing to learn and change will generally not do too badly.

According to the schedule, the G3 game between the two teams will start on the 3rd.

In the shortened season, not only the regular season schedule has been compressed, but even the playoff schedule is shorter than in previous years.

In Su Feng's previous life, many naive fans believed that as long as a team's lineup was thick enough, physical fitness should not be an excuse for these teams.

But in fact, in the regular season, even the Raptors cannot escape the sanctions from physical fitness.

Because back-to-back games like that will affect more than just the main players?

You know, a long journey is sometimes even more tiring than playing a game.

Because for three days and three games like this, when they need to fly thousands of kilometers, many substitute players can't even sleep well. How can they guarantee 100% devotion during the game?

After reaching the playoffs, for the sake of insurance, increasing the playing time of the main players is a consensus that many teams will reach.

Take the cavalry battle in Su Feng's memory as an example.

Every time when the playoffs come, both Cavaliers and Warriors are eager to defeat other opponents in their respective half zones.

Because for a team that aims to win the championship, if you cannot ensure that your physical fitness is on the healthy line, then your road to the championship will never be smooth.

On the 2nd, after the Lakers rewritten the Western Conference Finals score to 3-0 in Portland, the pressure has now come to the Raptors.

Su Feng knew very well that five games was his bottom line for this round of Eastern Conference Finals.

Because if the Raptors can't solve the Celtics' big problem as soon as possible, then in the finals, the Lakers will become the more physically dominant side.

only......

On the 3rd, when the Raptors players walked into the North Shore Garden Arena to warm up, although they couldn't tell how this arena was different from the past, everyone always felt that this arena was weird.

For example, during shooting training, Ben discovered that the trajectory of the basketball bounce was completely different from when he usually played.

When running tactics, the Raptors players who wanted to practice quick baseline kicks also discovered that the Celtics' home net was not as tight as usual...

While waiting for the basketball to fall from the net, some impatient players even wanted to go up and tear the net into pieces.

In addition, when dribbling forward, many players find that the basketball often fails to rebound after hitting the floor.

Su Feng and Davis are no strangers to the above.

Because back then, when they were fighting bulls, they learned...

Isn't it the Celtics?

As the saying goes, a basketball game is composed of countless details.

And here, every detail may affect the final process of the game.

Twisting the rim loose will allow the basketball to bounce closer to you after hitting the rim.

In this way, the Celtics, who have a greater height advantage, are likely to grab a few more rebounds.

Tightening the net can delay the basketball by a few tenths of a second when it hits the net.

In this way, the Celtics can retreat more calmly.

As for increasing the "floor of honor" at Celtic's home court...

That is to prevent a singles team like the Raptors from playing as much as they want.

What is home field advantage?

This is home field advantage. UU Reading www. uukanｓhu.net

During the warm-up, Su Feng discovered that almost half of the Celtics' home floor were traps, and he knew it very well...

If I am not careful in the next game...

It is not impossible for the Raptors to be dragged to the seventh game by this Celtics.

As an old AC Milan fan, there is no one in the world who hates being overturned more than Su Feng.

Therefore, under Su Feng's hint, Davis found that he finally had another chance to prove his talents.

Before the start of this G3 game, looking at this group of players who kept complaining about the Celtics' home court, Davis held his arms in his arms and issued such and such, such and such to all Raptors players with a smile on his face. instruction......
