All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 7 The brutal 1990s and the unpopular 3-pointer...

For American middle school students who love basketball, the most anticipated moment of the year is probably the start of the NBA Finals.

Because... with the arrival of the finals, there is often a 3-month summer vacation.

Damn capitalism!

Su Feng couldn't help but secretly wipe away tears when he thought about the two-week vacation he had when he was a senior in high school in his previous life.

Because of the previous "shootout incident at school", the school specially arranged a final exam for Su Feng this time.

The final exams in American high schools are far less strict than those in China, but they are more flexible. Of course, all this is not a problem for Su Feng. After all, he is a top student. When he goes abroad, he is also a top student...

"Oh, if you don't play well, you will have no choice but to speculate in stocks and become the richest man..." Su Feng thought to himself with emotion.

Of course, that kind of life is definitely not what Su Feng wants.

Because in Su Feng's view, since he has obtained a system that can help him realize his NBA dream in this life, and he has encountered a humanoid cheat like Kobe, what reason does he have not to play?

And unlike others, after being reborn through time travel and living a cheating life, Su Feng believed that there must be an invisible hand controlling his destiny.

If he didn't play ball, Su Feng was afraid that he might die suddenly like the supporting character in the Wuyouliu novel...

Therefore, entering the NBA, becoming a basketball star, and marrying Bai Fumei have become Su Feng's firm goals.

The 7th was the day when the G1 game of the 1993/94 NBA Finals started. According to the previous agreement with Kobe, Su Feng showed up on time at the court where he and Kobe usually practice.

"By the way, why has no one else come to play in this field except us?" Su Feng asked curiously.

"Humph, because this is my territory." Kobe raised the corners of his mouth proudly, not to mention how proud he was.

"If I hadn't been preparing for the exam for a while, how could you have played on my court that day." Kobe added.

Looking at Kobe's expression, Su Feng probably guessed the truth...

That means no one around here can beat Kobe...

And with Kobe's unwillingness to admit defeat, he might force you to fight him one-on-one for a whole day, so...if you can't afford to offend him, why can't others avoid him?

You know, in the United States, the most indispensable thing is basketball courts...

Because he secretly observed Kobe's home last time, Su Feng knew that Kobe's home was not very far from this stadium, so Su Feng felt that he and Kobe were really destined.

At this time in 1994, because Kobe hadn't met Vanessa yet, he naturally hadn't broken up with his family yet. The Bryant family was basically a loving father and a filial son...

Kobe's father's name is Joe Bryant, a former NBA player. Of course, he is the more aggressive kind...

When Kobe was a child, in order to support his family, Joe went to Italy. As a result, the fans at the time were shocked because Joe's style of play was gorgeous, especially his one-handed shooting and fadeaway, which could be described as quite handsome...

Later, after returning to the United States, Joe served as Kobe's coach when Kobe was a freshman in high school. Emmmmm, and then nothing happened...

In the future, many people will say that Kobe is imitating Jordan, but in fact...his handsome shooting is absolutely inseparable from his father's words and deeds.

"Haha, is this the 'Philadelphia hero' that Kobe has often mentioned to me recently?" As soon as Su Feng followed Kobe into the house, Kobe's father, Joe, happily walked towards Su Feng and Kobe.

It can be seen that Qiao is quite happy that his son has finally made friends. After all, no parent wants to see their child being isolated by other children...

When he saw Qiao walking towards him and Kobe, Su Feng felt that his vision suddenly went dark, because Qiao was as tall as 207 centimeters, and for Kobe and Su Feng, he was an out-and-out little giant.

"Well, he is about the same height as Kobe, has a good arm span, good hips and waist, a little less muscle, but a good frame..." After hugging Kobe, while hugging Su Feng, Qiao said He moved his hands up and down Su Feng while commenting...

Su Feng: "..."

The American people are really warm and hospitable, but Su Feng always feels like something is weird...

Oh yes!

Su Feng remembered that when he brought a girl home in his previous life, the seven aunts and eight aunts would often say: This girl has a nice butt and can give birth to a son...

"Come on, boys, the TV is ready, and Pamela has prepared exquisite snacks for you."

Qiao laughed and led Kobe and Su Feng to the living room. Just when Su Feng was about to sit down, Qiao suddenly said: "Of course, as athletes, you are not allowed to drink Coke."

While talking, Qiao also opened a can of Coca-Cola in front of Su Feng and Kobe.

Su Feng and Kobe: "..."

Actually, Su Feng and Kobe had no intention of drinking Coke, but...

Su Feng suddenly felt that Kobe's withdrawn personality was probably not without reason.

"Su, which side do you prefer?"

On the TV, the commentators had already started their routine preview before the finals. At this time, Kobe looked at Su Feng with curiosity and asked.

"Mosaic." Su Feng replied.

"Why? Don't you think this year's Knicks look like champions?" Kobe asked with a puzzled look on his face, because originally Kobe thought that both Su Feng and himself thought the Knicks could win the championship...

"Because I think Hakeem is stronger than Patrick. Although there are winners and losers between Hakeem and Patrick, in fact, Hakeem always has the upper hand in the duel with Patrick." Su Feng explained.

"But the Knicks also have Starks, Oakley, Davis..." Kobe seemed a little unconvinced and read out a string of names of Knicks stars.

Su Feng smiled and shook his head, "You are right, Kobe. From the overall configuration, the Knicks are indeed stronger, and Mosaic is at a disadvantage."

Hearing Su Feng surrender, Kobe originally raised the corner of his mouth proudly, but unexpectedly Su Feng continued: "But I still think that the small gap between Hakeem and Patrick will determine the direction of this series. .”

Because of Jordan's retirement, the NBA's attention in the 1993/94 season has dropped a lot, but if you don't evaluate it subjectively, this season's NBA Finals can be called a classic.

First of all, the two sides are fighting. The Knicks have Gorilla Ewing, the No. 1 pick in 1985 and one of the four major centers, while Mosaic also has Olajuwon, the No. 1 pick in 1984 and the first of the four centers.

Before the start of the game, judging from the lineups of both sides, the Knicks' configuration was indeed more advantageous. However, for Su Feng, who knew the results of this series, he knew very well that on the surface, the Knicks' better configuration would not be used in the game. How much advantage did you take in this series...

First of all, from the shooting guard position, it seems that the Knicks have the nickname Madman, excellent defense, and also have the star player John Starks who is good at three-pointers.

In the 1993/94 season, Starks averaged 19 points per game and was selected to the All-Star and All-Defensive Second Team. In the future, Starks also won the Best Sixth Man and was next to Ewing this season. 's right-hand man.

But on Mosaic's side, there is Front Maxwell who can match up with Starks.

It seems that Starks is a star player and Maxwell is just an ordinary starter. Even in Su Feng's previous life, many keyboard warriors who knew Maxwell were called "big guys" by their peers. But if a person is not famous, it does not mean that People have no strength.

As the absolute hero of Mosaic's two consecutive championships, Maxwell is good at offense and defense. In this series, it is difficult for Starks, who is similar in stature to Maxwell, to take advantage of Maxwell, because Maxwell is that kind of player. A cashier type player...

Unless you are an old gangster or have special skills, you will have to be dragged to 55 by him...

As for Oakley mentioned by Kobe, as the "old gangster" of the Knicks, ummmmm, this person is a real "old gangster", without any praise, purely derogatory...

Oakley's style of play is famous for being dirty. Of course, in the eyes of many die-hards, this dirty style has been turned into cruelty and passion...

In short, Oakley is okay against others, but against Dameng?

Don't be kidding, this is the big dream of this period, but even a certain shark that looks down on the world will give in three points...

And the Knicks have Oakley, and Mosaic also has Robert Horry.

If you look at this series from a metaphysical perspective, then Horry is definitely Mosaic's number one contributor...

Because Su Feng, who knows the future, knows very well that Horry is simply one of the strongest causal weapons in the NBA...

In the NBA, with Horry... your chance of winning a championship will be as high as 43.75%.

With a 16-year career and 7 championships, anyone who has watched the NBA will understand Horry's luck.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, the Knicks only seem to have an advantage, but in fact they are 55 points away from Mosaic...

With the two teams having similar lineups and similar strengths, Dameng will dominate this series.

In Su Feng's previous life, when the first four games between the two sides ended in a 2-2 tie, the Knicks successfully captured Tianwang Mountain, and the situation was originally very good.

However, in the G6 game, in the final seconds of the game, Olajuwon made a decision that changed the trajectory of his destiny.

At that time, the Knicks, who had the ball and a chance to kill the series, passed the ball to Starks at the last moment...

As a result, Dameng suddenly gave up his defense against Ewing and went straight to Starks who got a three-point opportunity from the outside.

After the game, Olajuwon explained this, "They are as eager for the championship as we are. As long as they make that shot (referring to Starks' winning three-pointer), they will be the championship, so I I firmly believe that John (Stacks) will definitely take action."

Da Meng's decision changed history.

Starks took action just as he expected.

This time, Olajuwon didn't watch the championship slip away like he did in college.

Olajuwon touched Starks's kill, but Starks failed to make the kill. Mosaic crossed the death line thrillingly, making the total score of the two teams 3-3.

As a result, in the seventh game, affected by the failed victory in G6, Starks was in no condition and made 0 of 11 three-pointers in the game, "helping" the Mosaic team win the championship in one go.

Looking back at this round of the finals, it can be said that Da Meng has truly carried the entire team on his shoulders. You can see Olajuwon's figure on both offense and defense. On the other hand, Ewing may be in the right position. That's what people say...

Just breathed a sigh of relief!

So this is why Su Feng believes that the negligible gap between Olajuwon and Ewing will determine the direction of this series.

However, Kobe didn't really buy Su Feng's explanation, and Su Feng, who was familiar with Kobe's character, didn't continue to argue with Kobe...

On the other hand, Kobe's father, Joe, thought Su Feng was a very interesting child.

"It's too bloody..." As the 1993/94 season finals began, Su Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's too cruel..." At this moment, Kobe and Su Feng reached an agreement.

The NBA Finals of the 1993/94 season will be called the "bloody finals" by many people in the future, because in this fierce series of seven games, no one game scored more than 100 points, and the highest score in a single game was 93 points... ...

In addition to the melodious sound of the iron strikes, the players from the two teams also engaged in a grueling internal fight that looked like wrestling...

"Sure enough, Lian Qianba is right..." Looking at the scene on the TV, Su Feng swore that before the Hand.Check rule became No.Hand.Check, there would never be his presence on the inside. .....

It is impossible to break through. You can only make a living by dry-drawing and blacksmithing. Jiang Zi. People who are good at dry-drawing speak well. Su Feng likes dry-drawing...

As we all know, the reason for the high defensive intensity of the NBA during this period is inseparable from the Hand.Check rule.

To put it simply, this rule means that you can put your hands on offensive players when defending. This makes it impossible for outside players to play without three or two unique skills.

Because your breakthrough will be greatly restricted by the defensive players. For example, under the Hand.Check rule, the difficulty of the offensive player's breakthrough is roughly twice that of the No.Hand.Check rule...

Why did Boss Qiao practice so hard at shooting in the middle and later stages of his career, and perfected his mid-range shot and turnaround?

It's because shooting is the outside offensive method least affected by the Hand.Check rule.

After all, when you hold the ball and throw it, pull it out, and turn it over, your opponent often doesn't even have time to get his hands on it.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people believed that the reason why people didn't like to shoot 3-pointers in the 1990s was because of the Hand.Check rule...

In fact, this is a misleading statement. UU Reading www. uukanshu.net

In fact, in the near future, after the NBA shortens the three-point line, do you think the league's teams will shoot three-pointers?

You know, during that time, even Boss Qiao voted for it...

To put it bluntly, during this period, the three-point shot was a new rule that had just been introduced in the league, and everyone was very resistant to the three-point shot.

Take Larry Bird as an example. Even Bird himself didn't like three-pointers very much, because players at the time felt that three-pointers were just showing off their skills.

Just like if the NBA added a 4-point shot tomorrow, many teams would definitely take a while to adapt to the new rules.

Even until the Warriors won the championship for the first time in Su Feng's previous life, many experts before the game believed that a team that could only shoot would not go far.

Therefore, the main reason why people did not like to shoot three-pointers in the 1990s was the difference in the concepts of the times. Just like if you traveled back in time and told your friends in the 1990s that in the future you can go out without money, you can only bring your mobile phone. I will think you are crazy...

People today are far less accepting of new things than humans in the future who have arrived in the Internet age.

Of course, no matter what, the Hand.Check rule is definitely a killer of outside players during this period...

"People in the 1990s... were too cruel!" Su Feng sighed.
