All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 377 The era of the Raptors!

, although to others, Su Feng's encouragement to Nash before the start of the second quarter had an element of deception...

But in fact, Nash is indeed a "top scorer" who was delayed by his assist talent.

In Su Feng's previous life, during Nash's career, Nash's true shooting percentage at his peak had always remained above 60%.

In addition, he was also the president of the "180 Club" in Su Feng's original time and space, and had four seasons that ended with "180" in his career.

Unfortunately, due to being too selfless, Nash has never averaged more than 14 shots per game in his career.

So now comes the problem.

Is it because Nash doesn't want to take action, or because he can't take action as freely as the four major shooting guards?

In this life, after becoming teammates with Nash, in Su Feng's view, Nash's problem should be a combination of both.

First of all, because of Nash's deep-rooted idea that "assists can make him twice happy"...

So in the game, even if Nash can get a shot, as long as his teammates are in a better position, Nash will basically choose to pass the ball instead of doing it himself.

However, unlike a point guard like Stockton, Nash is not the kind of point guard who lacks the ability to score independently.

Therefore, fans who know Nash know very well that when pressed, Nash will also make some unreasonable offensive choices.

For example, in the famous double overtime game between the Nets and the Suns in the 2006/07 season, I was so "extremely angry" that I single-handedly sank three New Jersey "destroyers" at the time. .

However, the lack of talent prevented Nash from playing "unlimited singles" like the four perverts of his generation.

But tonight...

With Su Feng's help, the "shackles" that had been binding Nash for a long time no longer existed.

Because he had to concentrate his forces to suppress Su Feng, Nash made 7 of 9 shots in the second quarter, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, which once made the "little bug" Hardaway who was responsible for defending him doubt his life.

Compared with the Nash who was still building confidence last season, this season's Nash is not only more confident, but under Su Feng's advice, he further improved his shooting ability after the pick-and-roll last summer.

No need to brag, just Nash’s shooting ability...

Su Feng is completely willing to call it:

——“Mobile intercontinental missile launch base”.

Excellent overall view, coupled with wind-like speed, and a hand that can be called the "abnormal accurate shooting" of this era...

Well, this is the "new version of the ship" Steve Nash.

The most ideal point guard in Su Feng's mind.

(Iverson: Has love really disappeared?)

On the court, watching the Heat losing ground, Riley felt that this was another year of studying with the prince.

Because even though the Heat still have 50+ wins this season...

But this season...

Whether it was against the Celtics or the Raptors, their game scenes could be described as "powerless to resist."

For Riley, who is about to end the "second three-year plan" with the Heat, this result is definitely unacceptable to him.

But......

What can you do if you don’t accept it?

In the third quarter of the game, looking at the completely defeated Heat, Riley knew that a new era had begun.

"It seems that the Heat are no longer prepared to continue to resist.

So, let us congratulate the Raptors in advance!

They set a new record for the best record in NBA history! "

In the fourth quarter of the game, after the Raptors and Heat replaced their main players, Kenny Smith used his slightly magnetic voice to announce the arrival of the Raptors era to the entire North America on TNT.

On the side, Derek smiled and said: "Although Su only made two three-pointers in this game, with one game left in the regular season, he still has the opportunity to continue to refresh the NBA singles record created by him this season. Season three-point field goal record!”

Canada Flight Center Arena...

As much as the Raptors fans in attendance wanted to stay sane...

But reality tells them that they cannot maintain such rationality at all.

In the end, 94 to 119, as the timer in the fourth quarter reached zero, after the Raptors won their 73rd victory of the season, the entire Route Center Arena had already turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Nash, who scored 33 points and provided 9 assists in the game, jumped directly on Su Feng's back the moment the game ended.

As for the rest of the Raptors bench, they were hugging each other and bumping their chests...

Everyone is using their own way to vent their excitement.

"We did it! We did it!"

Little O'Neal, who was still guarding the water fountain in Portland last year, how can you believe that this year he will have the opportunity to engrav his name in the history of the NBA?

"Yes, we did it! Now, we are the best in history!"

As for Su Feng himself, although he had imagined such a scene countless times in his mind, when the dream really came into reality...

Even he, at this moment, could not help but become paralyzed with excitement.

At this moment, Su Feng can fully understand why "Dream Chasing" Green said that even if there is no championship, 73 wins is great enough.

Because in the long NBA season, no one can guarantee that they will always win.

Of course, there is no such thing as a championship after 73 wins, and Su Feng doesn't want to experience it.

Therefore, I was happy, but after being happy, Su Feng also knew very clearly...

This season, the Raptors’ real test has just begun...

The day after the Raptors won their 73rd win of the season, congratulatory messages were sent to Toronto from all over the world.

Three years ago, when the Chicago Bulls were unstoppable and created the best record in history at 72 wins and 10 losses...

At that time, many people said that this would be the most difficult record to be broken in the NBA.

However, who would have thought...

Just three years later, a team composed of a group of young people completely turned the past history into dust.

It is worth mentioning that because the Raptors' record breaking of the Bulls is not as old as the future Warriors, many players who participated in the Bulls' great achievements said frankly in interviews...

In terms of strength, this Raptors has surpassed the Bulls three years ago.

Although there are still some Bulls fans who are not willing to accept this reality...

However, the vast majority of fans had already accepted the reality that the Raptors had surpassed the Bulls in the spring of 2000.

On the 19th, Canada Flight Center Arena.

The Raptors ushered in their last regular season game of the season at home.

And as their opponents...

Hong Kong, that is, the Internet in this era is not as developed as it will be in the future.

Otherwise, the Bulls players would have to launch a crowdfunding assassination attempt online.

Oh, which fucking bastard arranged the schedule?

How can I not let anyone pass this day?

Looking at the joyful Raptors fans in the stands, the Bulls players on the field had nothing else to think about but finishing the game and calling it a day.

Fortunately, in this game, the home team's players did not torture the Bulls' players.

Because after the first half, the suspense of this game had been killed by the Raptors.

In addition, in the second half of the game, after noticing that the Bulls had no intention of resisting, Davis also replaced the main players early, saving the Bulls' final dignity.

In the end, the score of this game was 87 to 109, and the Raptors ended their regular season journey in the 1999/00 season with 74 wins and 8 losses.

After the game, Su Feng also made 269 three-pointers, setting the NBA record for three-pointers made in a single season.

This season, the only thing Su Feng regrets may be that he failed to defeat O'Neal in the battle for the scoring title.

However, after thinking that there was a high probability that he would win the regular season MVP again, such regrets were quickly forgotten by Su Feng.

In the Airline Center Arena, because everyone had already celebrated in the previous game, after easily defeating the Bulls in this game, everyone's emotions were obviously not as exciting as at the end of the previous game.

However, this does not stop the players from celebrating with the fans.

At the scene, after receiving the celebration burgers and celebration Cokes, many fans said that they would save the burgers and Cokes to commemorate the history they witnessed on April 19, 2000.

I have to say, fans will still play...

Because how could Chad, the owner of the Raptors, have imagined that the burgers and Cokes he specially customized for fans would be regarded as family heirlooms?

"The achievements of this Raptors this season are really incredible. As a team that has only been in the NBA for less than five years, they have become a myth!"

"I think teams that are not old enough have to look for problems within themselves.

Because the Raptors have proven with actual actions that in the NBA, if you want to achieve results, you don't necessarily need a long history. "

"If the Raptors can win the championship this season, there is no doubt that Sue will become the best candidate in history in my mind.

Oh my God, can you believe he just celebrated his 22nd birthday? "

"This season, the Raptors averaged 119.4 points per game. You can't imagine that in a league where average points per game are generally in the early 90s, they actually relied on offense to create history."

“According to statistics, the Raptors have completed a total of 617 dunks this season, making them the team with the most dunks and the highest dunk quality among all teams.

I think if you watch the Raptors play, it's hard not to fall in love with them. "

After the regular season finale between the Raptors and the Bulls, major media outlets in North America rushed to express their praise for the Raptors.

There is no doubt that the biggest political correctness in the NBA right now is mindlessly bragging about the Raptors.

Of course, compared to people's praise, after attending a dinner carefully prepared by Raptors owner Chad with his teammates on the evening of the 19th, Su Feng immediately devoted his energy to studying his opponents in the playoffs. .

After the entire regular season of the 1999/00 NBA season ended, Su Feng was not blinded by the increasingly harsh environment in the Eastern Conference because of his desire to create history.

This season, the second to eighth teams in the Eastern Conference are the Celtics, Pacers, Heat, Pistons, Nets, Hornets, and Knicks.

According to the playoff schedule, the first round games of the Eastern Conference playoffs are as follows:

Raptors vs. Knicks, Celtics vs. Hornets, Pacers vs. Nets, and Heat vs. Pistons.

In terms of the difficulty of breaking through, in Su Feng's view, the Raptors have to start meeting the challenge starting from the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Because if the Pistons beat the Heat in the first round of the playoffs...

With Hill, Hughes, Stackhouse and others, they are likely to cause some trouble for the Raptors from the perspective of talent reserves on the forward and defensive lines.

However, the good news is that because the Celtics' semifinal opponent on the other side will most likely be the Pacers, if the Raptors can successfully enter the Eastern Conference Finals, they don't have to worry about the Celtics' advancement. Easier than them.

In Su Feng's view, Bird may be the person who knows the Celtics and Auerbach best in the league, and coupled with the overall strength of the Pacers...

Therefore, it would be more difficult for the Celtics to defeat the Pacers than it would be for the Raptors to defeat the Pistons.

This year’s ninth through fifteenth place finishers in the East are as follows:

Bucks, Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards, Hawks, Bulls, 76ers.

Compared with the chaotic battle pattern in the East, the overall strength of the West this year is also stronger than last year.

In addition to the Lakers, who lead the Western Conference with 70 wins and 12 losses, the second to eighth place in the Western Conference this year are:

Trail Blazers, Jazz, Mavericks, Spurs, Suns, Timberwolves, SuperSonics.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Western Conference’s first-round matchups are as follows:

Lakers vs SuperSonics, Trail Blazers vs Timberwolves, Jazz vs Suns, Mavericks vs Spurs.

Due to historical changes, the Mavericks' early rise has made the overall pattern of the Western Conference this year increasingly confusing.

Su Feng knew very well that the Mavericks led by Nelson would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

If the Lakers are not careful, it is even possible that they will be dragged into a tough battle by the Mavericks that they did not want to encounter before entering the Western Conference Finals.

As for whether the Trail Blazers can defeat the Lakers under the leadership of a healthier Pi Erye?

To be fair, judging from the restrained style of play and the thickness of the Blazers' bench, Su Feng feels that this Blazers have no chance of becoming the Raptors' opponent in the finals.

In short, this year's battle situation in the east and west is extremely exciting.

Before the final decisive battle, even Su Feng couldn't see the overall situation of this year clearly.

And when I think about the situation next year, it will only be more difficult...

"Sure enough, I can't believe this nonsense that the future is yours!"

Looking at the Eastern and Western playoff schedules, Su Feng sighed silently.

In addition, this year’s ninth to fourteenth place finishers in the West are as follows:

Kings, Nuggets, Mosaics, Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers.

According to the schedule, the Raptors' first round of the playoffs will start on the 23rd, which means that the Raptors will have three full days to make adjustments.

According to Davis' plan, in the next three days, the Raptors will adopt a half-training and half-rest training plan.

"Oh, what a pity. How great would it be if Van Gundy could continue to lead this Knicks?"

This season, due to the tremendous pressure the Knicks fans put on the team, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Van Gundy had to be picked out by Dolan to be the unlucky scapegoat.

However, after Don Cheney took office, he failed to wipe out the Knicks' decline.

As the best coach in the NBA in the 1990/91 season, in some aspects, Su Feng even felt that he was not as good as his predecessor.

Therefore, what Su Feng regrets is that it is not relatively easy to play against the Knicks coached by Van Gundy.

Unfortunately for him...

The Knicks, led by Don Cheney, may not even be able to warm up the Raptors...
