All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

"I really just want to hit the iron ()"

The day after the Raptors led the Celtics 3-1, the American media once again displayed their traditional skills, which was...

———— Repeatedly jump horizontally.

Before, when the G3 game between the Raptors and the Celtics ended, you know, the American media once ran a headline like "The glory will eventually return, let's see how the Celtics overthrow the Raptors' dominance."

But now...

There are almost always headlines similar to "The King of Toronto is leading his 'Armada' back".

According to the schedule, the next G5 game between the Raptors and Celtics will start on the 31st in Toronto.

Since there is only one day between the G5 game and the G4 game, it seems that it is already a certainty that the Raptors will get their tickets to the finals...

On the 30th, when Su Feng and the team returned to Toronto to prepare for the G5 game with the Celtics tomorrow night, the Western Conference, in the G4 game with the Trail Blazers, relied on the steady performance of the "OK" combination. Sweeping away the previous decline in the G2 game, after Portland won two games in a row, they also got the match point for this round of the Western Conference Finals with a big score of 3-1.

On the Internet, more and more American fans have begun to chat about the subsequent finals.

After all, if this situation continues to develop, then the Raptors and Lakers meeting in the Finals for two consecutive years will already be the focus of attention.

However, on the 31st...

At the Flight Center Arena in Toronto, the young Rivers and D'Antoni could not have imagined that the progress of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Raptors and the Celtics would actually unfold according to Davis's expectations for the first time... .

In Game 5, the Celtics, who completely lost their home court advantage, showed their tenacity in Canada.

With no way out, they not only played more relaxedly than the Raptors on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, they also played their best defensive performance in this series so far.

In fact, according to the strategy developed by Davis in this series, the Raptors have become invincible on an objective level.

However, the reason why Davis believed that the series was not over after the fourth game between the two sides was because he knew very well that with the team leading the Celtics 3-1, the Raptors wanted to It is still not easy to give this ambitious Celtic a fatal blow.

To put it bluntly, if a rabbit is cornered, it will bite.

In the first quarter of the game, under the leadership of Su Feng, the Raptors, who had fallen into a "stirring circle", were beaten 30 to 19 by the Celtics.

In the second quarter, although the Raptors recovered a lot of points, the Celtics still entered the second half with a 56-51 lead.

In the second half of the game, which was the most intense competition between the two sides, the Celtics, unwilling to be eliminated, were led by Ray Allen and Marbury to set off a wave of three-pointers from the outside.

As a result, relying on the 10-point advantage re-established in the third quarter, the Celtics once again gave their fans hope of a comeback.

In the end, 106 to 96, the Celtics successfully defeated the Raptors in the G5 game. In the next game, that is, the G6 game between the two sides will return to Boston, the Celtics dragged the Raptors into The probability of a tiebreaker is undoubtedly greatly increased.

It is worth mentioning that immediately after the game, Rivers and D'Antoni both looked at Davis.

Great prophet John, what kind of prophecy are you planning to make now?

"Don't worry too much. Although our next game is an away game, the initiative is still in our hands." After the somewhat regrettable G5 game, Davis said about his "Wolong" and "Fengxiao" " said.

And when I hear it, don’t believe it when I tell it...

Rivers and D'Antoni feel like the Raptors are ready to pop the champagne...

…

Looking at the first five games of this year's Eastern Conference Finals, it must be said that the fighting power displayed by this young Celtics has made Su Feng deeply feel the horror of this era that he personally led to violence... .

If we talk about the time when Black Eight killed Jordan and his Bulls, Su Feng could still enjoy the benefits of a "traveler".

This time, in this series with the Celtics, in Su Feng's opinion, the tactics played by the two teams in the first five games have completely surpassed this era.

Regardless of Su Feng's original time and space, the NBA in the next ten years seems to be no different from the current NBA...

But in fact, there are completely different differences between the two in terms of the concept of using three-pointers and the use of court space.

It's as if before the start of World War II, the French still imagined that they could use the Maginot Line and trenches to delay the German offensive.

At that time, the French's tactical concepts obviously did not keep up with the development of weapons and equipment.

The NBA is roughly the same.

Because although the current rules have certain restrictions on some tactics, such as three-pointers, in fact, for shooters in this era, it is not entirely the rules that prevent them from going to heaven.

Take "Central Shooting King" Alan Houston as an example.

A pitcher who can shoot more than 45% of mid-range field goals under the defense of HC rules all year round, and who has shot 40% in many seasons in his career. The impact of HC rules on him really has to be made by Van Gundy. Is it a big deal to shoot a three-pointer off the line?

The answer is obvious.

In this life, after the Raptors won the championship last season, the appearance of Su Feng brought the biggest change to this era...

The Raptors have successfully shortened the process that NBA coaches would have spent a lot of time settling on.

Therefore, there is a picture of the Celtics this season copying the Raptors' core tactics while fighting against the Raptors.

However, no matter how scary the future is...

Seizing the moment is still the top priority for Su Feng.

Anyway...

there is always a solution to a problem.

In this time and space where Kobe Bryant has become a "magician", Su Feng knows very well that he can only fight his way out by "strengthening the iron with his own strength".

…

On the 1st, the Raptors team, which was dragged into Game 6 by the Celtics, came to Boston again.

On the same day, a scene that shocked Su Feng happened.

Because in Los Angeles...

Kobe, who had been repeatedly suppressed by Pippen in games...

"Holy crap, is this really the Kobe I know?"

In the hotel room, Sukarmai and others, who had previously used Kobe's performance in this round of the Western Conference Finals as daily jokes, almost unanimously turned off their mobile phones in a tacit agreement.

You may not believe it...

On the night of the 1st, "Magic" wore No. 8 to play at Staples.

In Game 5 against the Trail Blazers, when O'Neal was surrounded by the Trail Blazers' human shields, Kobe became the key figure to change the situation.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, according to the script of his previous life, the Blazers should have won two games in a row in the next game and pushed the Lakers to a desperate situation in the tiebreaker.

However......

Under the leadership of Kobe, the group of CBA teammates around O'Neal experienced a big explosion in this game.

In this campaign, the Lakers scored a total of 12 three-pointers.

With Kobe's internal and external connection, the originally passive Lakers launched a 15-2 offensive climax in the fourth quarter.

Thanks to the excellent performance of the Lakers from the outside, O'Neal was also successfully liberated at the last moment of the game.

In the end, 97 to 105, the Lakers killed this series in Game 5.

Kobe, who contributed 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 14 assists in the game, received high praise after the game from Phil Jackson who believed that his understanding of basketball was not inferior to Jordan's.

"Many people have been saying recently that if the Lakers had drafted Sue instead of Kobe, then maybe I would have won the championship long ago.

But I still want to say that in my opinion, Kobe is far better than Su. "

In addition, in the interview after the game, O'Neal, who has worn the Western Conference champion hat for two consecutive years, even miked with Su Feng remotely.

There is something to say...

Regarding the fact that the Lakers entered the Finals before the Raptors...

Su Feng couldn't accept it.

Because the first Kobe Bryant...

It’s simply ridiculously paranoid!

no......

If you don't want to be a good historical iron king, why don't you go learn to be a "magician"...

Jie Nima, he has no future!

"This world is so magical."

After the Lakers advanced to the finals, Su Feng turned off the TV and lay in bed unable to calm down for a long time.

…

On the 2nd, after the Lakers got their ticket to the finals, the pressure has now been put on the Raptors.

In the evening, at the North Shore Garden Arena, when the team was warming up before the game, for some reason, the young Nash always felt like there were three Saiyans standing next to him.

Su Feng, Carter, McGrady...

Although he couldn't see or touch it, whenever Nash wanted to get close to these three people, he could feel the terrible heat from their bodies.

Facts have proved that the way of heaven is easy to reincarnate, no matter who the heaven bypasses.

Early this morning, the three people who had just turned on their phones saw the message Kobe sent them last night.

Then......

There's no after that.

The three people of Sukarmai, who were much ridiculed, activated Saiyan mode almost instantly.

"I don't need to say more about the importance of this game tonight, right?" Su Feng said seriously on the court, holding McGrady in his left hand and Carter in his right hand.

After hearing this, Carter and McGrady both clenched their fists after nodding.

At 8 p.m., the G6 battle in the Eastern Conference Finals was about to begin.

result......

Rivers and D'Antoni felt that not only were they not surprised at all, but they even wanted to laugh a little.

because......

As Davis expected, the Celtics, who were already at the end of their game, were completely unable to stop the Raptors from advancing in this game.

only......

What makes D'Antoni and Rivers confused is that in G5, the Raptors playing at home will have an advantage, but why is Davis's judgment of the game format so different?

On the Raptors bench, after the Raptors had established a 20-point lead in the first three quarters, Davis patted D'Antoni and Rivers on the shoulders and smiled: "Gentlemen, I think we can open the game now. Champagne.”

In fact, the reason why Davis has different judgments about this series after each game is not because he can predict the future.

And it is precisely because he cannot predict the future that he makes such a judgment.

After the G1 game between the two teams, because the Raptors won with passive tactics, Davis firmly believed that after he made changes to the Celtics' tactics in the next game, the Raptors would win. will regain control of this series.

However, after the G2 game, although the Raptors were leading 2-0, Auerbach's "strong man broke his wrist" in turn made Davis feel the horror of this "cardinal".

Coupled with Boston's prestigious home court, Davis believes that this series is far from happy.

However, this situation changed again with the G3 game, when the Raptors relied on Su Feng to further consume the Celtics' physical energy.

Because in a short period of time, Davis firmly believes that the Raptors' physical fitness will help them gain the upper hand in this series.

As a result, the disorganized Celtics were completely defeated in Game 4, which undoubtedly confirmed Davis's judgment on this series.

However, before the G5 game, because he knew that the ceiling of this Celtics team was also very high, Davis knew clearly that once the Raptors were eager for success in the game, they would easily be defeated by the Celtics. People seize the opportunity and win back a victory in a desperate situation. UU Reading www. uukａｓhu.net

However, in general, even if the Celtics get back a win in the G5 game, they cannot change the fact that they are at the end of their game in this series.

therefore......

From Davis's perspective, where is his superiority in this series?

"Without Su, the situation we would face would be completely different." On the court, in the fourth quarter of the game, after the Celtics withdrew their main players, Davis sighed silently.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, in the end, the Raptors won the game 109-91.

At the same time, they also successfully entered the finals for two consecutive years with a score of 4 to 2.

In the whole game, Su Feng scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

McGrady scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Carter, who came off the bench, contributed 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.

When he was replaced in the fourth quarter, young Duncan covered his head with a towel without saying a word.

After Auerbach let out a long sigh, he also looked at the Raptors bench.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, the Celtics had many opportunities to reverse the Raptors in this series.

But as the actual commander of the Celtics in this series, Auerbach knows very well...

Maybe a hundred more times, the score of this series will change.

But the final result is difficult for the Celtics to shake.

Because Davis is in this series...

From the beginning to the end, there was no thought of fighting with Auerbach.

What he chose was an almost unsolvable tactic.

"Come back next year." Auerbach sighed regretfully, patting his disciple Miller Carr on the shoulder.
