All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

So difficult.

It's really difficult.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, Duncan felt his increasingly heavy knees and sweat kept sliding down his cheeks...

In this G3 battle, I had the thought of giving up countless times.

59 to 41.

At halftime, the score between the Raptors and Celtics was like a heavy weight, weighing on the 23-year-old Duncan.

For a basketball game, 18 points is not a score that cannot be caught up.

However, if you are also a member of the Celtics tonight, then you can understand how desperate the Celtics players are at this moment.

In the Celtics locker room, during the halftime break, "stupefied young man" Marbury was no longer in the mood to relax by listening to a few raps.

Because at this moment, what was constantly replaying in his mind was the image of Steve Nash shooting those unreasonable three-pointers in front of him.

And as the Celtics' outside firepower guarantee...

In these two and a half games, Ray Allen, who seemed to be missing, covered his head with a towel.

dejected.

Incompetent and furious.

"Tim, can I talk to you for a minute?"

And when all the Celtics players were autistic, the 82-year-old Auerbach sat next to Duncan with his signature smile and an unlit cigar in his mouth.

"Um."

Duncan nodded.

"It turns out that now, am I the only one who still believes that we can make a comeback?"

Looking at Duncan's eyes that were gradually losing color, Auerbach asked calmly.

But listening to "Cardinal"'s words, at this moment, Duncan was stunned.

"Tim, the NBA is like a marathon, and a temporary lead doesn't mean anything.

Only when you reach the end will you know whether you beat the players of this era and your contemporaries.

If you lose this season, win it back next season.

If you can't win it back next season, then try again next season. "

Patting Duncan on the shoulder, Auerbach said to him earnestly.

"Of course, I'm not comforting you in advance.

Because in my opinion, in a basketball game, as long as you don't give up, the suspense of the game will always exist. "After a pause, Auerbach then said to Duncan.

After being silent for a while, Duncan said to Auerbach seriously:

"But... even if we master gravity and acceleration, we seem to be unable to defeat monsters like Su and Vince."

puff!

Listening to Duncan's classic cold jokes, Auerbach knew that this child's self-adjustment ability was far beyond his imagination.

"So, Tim, we have to solve this battle basketball-wise."

Auerbach said while looking at Duncan who was gradually recovering from despair.

"So...how will basketball answer this question?" Duncan asked.

"First of all, Tim, think back to how the Raptors opened the score." Auerbach said.

"Well......

In front of Bruce, Su made a three-pointer that made no sense at all. "After thinking for a while, Duncan replied.

"What about us?" Auerbach asked.

"us......

We are working hard to run tactics according to your arrangements.

But Ray... continued his poor performance in this series. "Duncan continued.

At this time, Ray Allen and Bowen, who were about to get bananas to eat, almost fell in the locker room after hearing the conversation between Duncan and Auerbach.

Hong Kong Zhen, if it weren't for knowing that Duncan is not the kind of leader who shirks the blame...

Then Ray Allen and Bowen will definitely come forward to have a good discussion with Duncan.

"Come back, it's time for us to defend, right?" Auerbach continued to ask.

“Yeah...we defended well this time.

Vince... Vince's shooting motion was a little out of shape and he missed the three. "Duncan replied.

"But......"

"But what?"

"However, Su managed to grab the offensive rebound."

"What's next?"

"Steve hit another three from the perimeter."

"That's really bad."

"Yes... because in this way, even if we score in the next attack, we can only watch the score getting bigger and bigger..."

Is the score difference getting bigger and bigger?

With a little reminder from Auerbach, Duncan felt like he had found the key to the problem.

"I admit that due to some personal reasons, I made mistakes in judging the situation of this game.

But Tim, no matter how accurate the three-point shooter is, cannot guarantee that his shooting rate will be 100%. "Auerbach then reminded Duncan.

After nodding, Duncan knew what he should do next.

In this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, because he wanted to carry the team too much on his shoulders, Duncan devoted more of his energy to singles.

And although in singles, Duncan completely blew up his budget, but just like Kenny Smith predicted before the start of this round of Eastern Conference Finals...

The big money was blown up, which actually didn't cause much loss to the Raptors.

Because, being abused is being abused, but when it comes to rebounding, the National People's Congress could have been unambiguous at all.

To put it simply, in Auerbach's view, Duncan did not fully display his strength in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Take Su Feng as an example.

Why was Su Feng able to defeat every opponent in this year's playoffs?

Because what makes Su Feng stand out is not just as simple as scoring one or two fairy balls in the game.

Defense, running, pulling...

In these details that cannot be described by technical statistics, Su Feng has been silently supporting the entire Raptors.

In fact...

No one knows better than Auerbach that after the first half of tonight's game, the probability of the Celtics being eliminated by the Raptors is as high as 99%.

But, like Auerbach just said to Duncan.

In the NBA, temporary success or failure does not determine anything.

Because in the future, when people make final decisions, they won't just look at your performance in a certain season.

Therefore, rather than saying that Auerbach still believes that the Celtics can come back, it is better to say that Auerbach wants to guide Duncan to a higher level through this chat with Duncan.

Inspired by Auerbach, Duncan finally found the right way to start this round of Eastern Conference finals.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people only remembered that Duncan was bald and so-and-so.

But I forgot that this guy once left terrible statistics in the NBA of 26,000+ points, 15,000+ rebounds, 4,000+ assists, 3,000+ blocks, and 1,000+ steals.

In fact, Duncan is a much more comprehensive player than the world thinks.

He doesn't have the beast-like power of O'Neal.

He also doesn't have Jordan's explosive power that can turn on the switch at any time and take you away in one fell swoop.

However, for a team, it is really a blessing to have a cornerstone like Duncan.

Pick and roll, defense, rebounding.

In the third quarter of the game, Duncan became the most handsome boy in the North Shore Garden Arena.

On the court, the Celtics began to chase points.

At his peak, Duncan's defensive area was enough to cover the three-point line.

Therefore, the Celtics' perimeter players discovered that as long as Duncan was standing behind them, even if they were out of position on defense, the defense would not be a disaster.

Duncan, who is willing to be a green leaf for his teammates, helped Ray Allen win the right to breathe in the third quarter through his extremely high-quality screens.

After all, no matter how strong Su Feng's bypassing ability was, he would not be able to bypass Duncan again and again.

Although the Raptors can limit the Celtics' pick-and-roll by switching defenses, for a pitcher like Ray Allen, as long as you can buy him about 0.4 seconds, he can complete a smooth shot.

As for rebounding...

With the Celtics twisting the basket loose tonight, I have to say that it really takes luck to grab rebounds.

And maybe Lady Luck heard Duncan's prayer...

Anyway, in the second half of the game, Duncan's big hands seemed to be attracted to rebounds.

So, 68 to 54, 68 to 57, 70 to 59, 74 to 64...

At the end of the third quarter, the deafening cheers once again filled the originally hopeless North Shore Garden Arena.

80 to 73.

The Celtics actually caught up tenaciously!

Before the start of the fourth quarter, during the break, looking at the tenacious Celtics, Su Feng always felt as if he had seen himself in the past.

Su Feng, who has experience with the Black Eight Bulls, knows very well that as long as the Celtics don't give up, no matter how much the Raptors lead in this series, the suspense will always remain.

And, just like the Pacers woke up the Raptors before...

Now, the Raptors have also woken up the Celtics.

In addition, no one knows better than Su Feng what the Raptors' tactical weakness is tonight.

That is......

When the firepower cannot be sustained, three-pointers are definitely incomparable to two-pointers in terms of scoring stability.

"The championship is really hard to win."

Listening to the eardrum-piercing cheers from the North Shore Garden Arena, at this moment, Su Feng thought to himself with emotion.

Even if this Raptors is so powerful, even if Su Feng is as stable as ever, the road to the championship is still full of thorns.

If you are not careful, the Raptor and Su Feng may also fall into the abyss.

In the fourth quarter, as the Celtics gradually regained the momentum of the game, the pressure was now on the Raptors.

The biggest advantage of a young team is that once they go well in a game, they will play crazier and crazier.

But conversely, youth also means lack of experience.

In the face of pressure, it is difficult for young players to be as comfortable as veterans.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, when he noticed that the technical movements of the young people around him had begun to deform, the "old gangster" knew that it was time for him to stand up and guide them.

However......

The stage tonight does not belong to Jordan.

Because, just when "Boss Qiao" was about to press BKB and take away the game, a strange man named Su Feng had already taken over the stage before him.

At the critical moment, unlike Carmena and others who were slightly panicked, where could the 21-year-old Su Feng look like a young man?

Against the boos of the North Shore Garden Arena, he broke through and drew fouls, pulled out from the wing, turned over in the low post and leaned back...

Su Feng used his comprehensive offensive skills to successfully withstand the Celtics' counterattack for the Raptors.

For Su Feng, who is familiar with the historical process, he will not make the same mistakes as a certain team.

When the team misses consecutive three-pointers, and the Celtics' pursuit of points becomes more and more fierce, they still waste three-pointers at this time...

That’s not called an excellent completion of the coach’s tactical arrangements...

That's called head iron.

It was obvious that Su Feng was not strong-minded.

Because he knows that being a tough guy never ends well.

In the fourth quarter of the game, when he noticed that Su Feng reminded his teammates to use high and low tactics to create space for themselves and him to end the game through singles, Jordan always had this feeling in his heart. This is the feeling of the head coach of this team.

"When I was 21 years old, could I be as calm as him?" At this moment, Jordan asked himself emotionally.

Then, after recalling a bunch of "childhood shadows," Jordan shook his head decisively.

…

Unfortunately.

Although the Celtics played their best halftime performance in this series in the second half, in the fourth quarter, with Su Feng and Jordan exerting their strength one after another, the Celtics, who had "god-level double insurance", The Raptors still had the last laugh.

105 to 100.

After the game, looking at the scoreboard and having used up all his bullets, Duncan sat on the bench and was silent for five minutes.

Then, after Su Feng finished being interviewed on the sidelines, Duncan stood up and took the initiative to walk in front of Su Feng.

Then, after looking at Su Feng for a while, Duncan took advantage of Su Feng's "relaxation" and pressed his big hand hard on Su Feng's head.

Su Feng: "..."

Su Feng, who originally thought Duncan wanted to say something to her, was suddenly speechless.

Because he never expected that Duncan would be so "childish"!

Damn, Tim, you don’t think you can change the outcome of this series just because you bald me, do you?

However, Su Feng, who felt Duncan's big hand getting stronger and stronger, knew very well that Duncan must be quite uncomfortable at this moment.

Although the big score of 3-0 does not mean that the Celtics have no hope, but...

Again.

In the NBA, there is not much difference between falling behind 0-3 and being eliminated.

Just like that, after holding Su Feng for 5 minutes, Duncan suddenly felt that he was in a much better mood.

"Tim, don't feel too bad. There is nothing to be ashamed of losing to a team with an MVP."

But Su Feng, whose hair was messed up by Duncan, took the initiative to "comfort" Duncan the moment Duncan let go of his hand.

"Um?"

Listening to Su Feng's words, Duncan felt that he had to wait for another five minutes. UU reading www.uｕkanshu. net

Very angry!

I have to say that losing is really painful.

Even a mentally strong being like Duncan would feel uncomfortable.

It's just that most of the time, Duncan doesn't show it.

Therefore, it seems that Duncan is venting his anger by picking Su Feng's head.

But in fact, isn't Duncan reminding himself that he must remember this heart-wrenching feeling?

In Duncan's opinion, he only had to experience this kind of breathless pain once or twice in his life.

In the days to come, feelings like this should be left to others as much as possible...

…

PS: A classic update. There will be a 200 game on the 26th~ If you don’t have 200, you can ROLL 200.
