Compared with their first match against the two teams, Carlisle clearly adjusted his thinking tonight.

Because O'Neal Jr. was injured and absent from the Raptors' side, Yao Ming successfully secured a position in the low post under the cover of Ratliff as soon as the game started.

Before the game, Su Feng had told Da Ben many tricks to deal with Yao Ming, but in the face of absolute height, Da Ben suffered a loss on this ball.

Squeezing away Da Ben, turning around, hooking.

Yao Ming, who is 226 cm tall, easily accomplished what Philadelphia's previous generation of high tower "Bamboo Pole" Bradley could not do.

0 to 2.

It was the Raptors' turn to attack.

Carter waved his hand actively at Jaric, who was responsible for dribbling the ball.

And Jaric, after glancing at Su Feng...

Only then did he hand the ball to Carter.

At the same time, on the left wing, Snow had already begun to slide, preparing to help Iverson double-team Carter.

After all, with Iverson's small body...

How could he withstand Carter?

As for the game between the two teams a month ago...

Hiss————!

Carter was useless at that time, but you can't blame his body for not being as good as Iverson!

In fact, after more than a month of recovery, Carter has often been able to counter-kill Su Feng in one-on-one matches recently.

But now...

Carter needs a game to announce the return of the UFO.

Bang!

In his prime, this kind of explosive first step was also Carter's specialty.

Iverson couldn't hold Carter, and Snow didn't have time to help defend, and almost instantly, Philadelphia's flank defense was torn into two pieces by Carter.

Swish!

2 to 2.

After breaking through Iverson's defense, reason told Carter that it was best not to force his way into the restricted area guarded by Yao Ming and Ratliff.

So, in the two-point area where Yao Ming and Ratliff couldn't quite cover, Carter completed the attack with a clean jump shot.

"So he still knows he can jump shoot..."

At this time, Barkley ran to Su Feng's side and complained.

Because Carter, who has been stubborn recently, often inexplicably gives away blocks, so Barkley has been complaining about him a lot recently.

Hearing this, Su Feng patted Barkley on the shoulder and gave Carter a thumbs up.

The game continued, and Philadelphia attacked.

This time, Yao Ming didn't get a very good position, so he took the initiative to pull to the high post to screen for Iverson.

Da Ben switched defenses with Carter, and facing Yao Ming who was cutting in, Carter showed his power forward side at this time.

Taking advantage of Carter holding Yao Ming, Da Ben successfully returned to defense, and the two jointly broke Philadelphia's pick-and-roll.

On the basketball court, the situation is ever-changing, so don't underestimate the 0.5 seconds that Carter just bought for Da Ben.

Clang!

Because the pick-and-roll failed, Iverson had no choice but to gamble his luck by using dribbling to open up space on the outside.

As a result, this three-pointer failed, and Barkley used his big butt to preemptively occupy the position and protect the rebound.

The Raptors took the opportunity to counterattack.

Unfortunately, Jaric committed the old stable bad habit of European guards while advancing, which led to the Raptors' counterattack failing.

After settling into position, seeing Carter, who was eager to prove himself tonight, Jaric hurriedly passed the ball to Carter's hands again after obtaining Su Feng's approval.

At this time, the biggest drawback of Iverson playing the shooting guard position was highlighted.

Especially tonight, when the Raptors' point guard Jaric is even taller than Carter.

Christie and Snow both had their own defensive tasks, so they couldn't support Iverson like they usually do.

Seeing that he couldn't hold Carter, Iverson decisively gave up his defense and directly pounced on the basketball in Carter's hand.

However, Carter cleverly dribbled the ball to the other side with a behind-the-back dribble.

And at this moment...

Philadelphia's ground tower has detected a UFO aerial strike en route.

Swish!

2 to 5.

After Iverson's off-position steal failed, Carter punished Philadelphia with an accurate three-pointer.

On CCTV, Director Zhang, who saw this scene, said, "Wow, good guy, Carter has finally found some feeling for the game."

Bang, bang, bang.

For Carter's performance after the opening tonight, Su Feng rarely rewarded him with a high-five and chest bump.

Alas!

Not easy!

Really not easy!

Who knows how many methods the Raptors' coaching staff and Su Feng have come up with behind the scenes to wait for this UFO to take off again?

Philadelphia attacked.

Iverson, who wanted to return an Answer.Ball to Carter, failed to give the correct answer like his nickname.

This ball, the slightly anxious Iverson shot an air ball on the outside.

After Barkley picked up Iverson's three-no-touch shot, he promptly passed the ball to Su Feng.

Christie didn't dare to give Su Feng a chance to speed up. After Su Feng got the ball, he urgently used the old tree root method on Su Feng.

As a result, this gAy-ish scene was directly called a foul by the referee.

Su Feng: "..."

No cap, if he was hugged by an ordinary person, Su Feng wouldn't feel disgusted.

But as for Christie this person...

Especially for Su Feng, who knows how bizarre Christie and his wife's XPs are.

Seriously...

Su Feng felt that he was no longer "clean".

The Raptors' sideline ball.

This time, Jaric simply acted as a dribbling guard, and after crossing half court, he passed the ball to Su Feng, letting Su Feng organize himself.

And looking at Carter's fiery eyes...

Without thinking, Su Feng chose to do it himself.

Cough...

It's really not that Su Feng didn't pass the ball to Carter.

But Philadelphia has obviously begun to guard against Carter on this ball, so as a leader who never shirks responsibility, Su Feng can't take all the benefits and throw all the blame on others, right?

Bang!

Bang!

On the right wing, Su Feng, who had a fierce physical conflict with Christie, relied on being bigger and thicker...

Elbows laughed last.

However, as soon as Su Feng stepped into Philadelphia's restricted area, Ratliff, the big-browed bastard, came over to help.

It's a pity...

Ratliff also made a pointless effort on this ball.

Because Su Feng forcibly twisted his body, completing a lane change in the process of accelerating his breakthrough!

Ratliff didn't have time to react, and behind him, Yao Ming also didn't react, and Su Feng had already appeared in front of him.

Swish!

And when the young Yao Ming tried to use his not-so-long arm to treat Su Feng to a hot pot...

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Su Feng's right hand, holding the ball with one hand, suddenly tossed it gently, and then, like Rukawa Kaede teasing Sakuragi in "Slam Dunk", the basketball flew over Yao Ming's fingers and into the net.

2 to 7.

At the Central State Arena, in the face of Su Feng's beautiful floater, the local people of Pennsylvania felt that they were blind.

Because even Picasso couldn't paint such a perfect parabola!

With the version update, constantly updating the weapons in his arsenal...

That is Su Feng.

And in the words of Kenny Smith...

"Su's fingers are as elegant as a ballerina's."

The game continued.

Iverson forced his way to the basket but failed to score, and Yao Ming followed up with a put-back.

4 to 7.

At this time, Da Ben finally knew why Su Feng suggested that O'Neal Jr. start in the previous game against Philadelphia.

Because no matter how high Da Ben's afro is, his actual height is still there...

To be fair, because the Raptors have been competing with the Lakers for hegemony in the past two years, Da Ben seems to be very bad, but in fact...

He is the player who ranked second in the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year voting last season.

However, after Yao Ming entered the NBA early...

What else can Da Ben do besides feeling angry, cold, and trembling?

Can't stand up, no matter how you think about it, you can't stand up in front of these two people!

The Raptors' turn.

After Carter returned from space with his UFO tonight, the Raptors' strongest form appeared.

That is, when Su Feng and Carter are on both wings...

The Philadelphia players simply don't know how to defend.

Jaric dribbled the ball across half court, the Raptors had a 1-2-2 formation, with Barkley, Su Feng, and Carter forming a triangle.

Unfortunately...

If Carlisle knew that Barkley and Carter didn't see eye to eye on weekdays, then he would definitely know who to arrange to defend based on the defensive arrangement.

On this ball, Barkley didn't even look at Carter and passed the ball to Su Feng, allowing Su Feng to form a one-on-one true man's melee with Christie in the low post.

As a result...

Christie's masochistic side also appeared.

That is...

When Su Feng kept forcing him, Su Feng always felt that this guy was getting more and more excited...

Especially the excitement written all over his face...

I have to say...

There are indeed many crazy people on the basketball court.

Bang, bang!

A signature low post fadeaway from Su Feng.

Christie failed to successfully stop Su Feng from turning around, but he successfully disrupted Su Feng's turnaround rhythm.

However, as in the first battle between the two teams this season...

As long as he doesn't disrupt Su Feng's shooting form, then everything Christie did before is useless.

And this...

Is where Feng's fadeaway and Jordan's fadeaway were most dominant back then.

Clang!

Fortunately, Su Feng's fadeaway shot was a little short.

Yao Ming protected the rebound, and Iverson started a transition offense after getting the ball.

Unlike Brown, Carlisle is a very good learner.

Therefore, the reason why this Philadelphia team can rise this season is not only due to the defensive legacy left by Brown.

In addition, there is their offensive firepower, which currently ranks fifth in the league.

On this ball, Iverson instantly killed his way into the Raptors' hinterland. Barkley failed to stop the Answer and could only watch helplessly as Iverson, like he had springs installed, smoothly sent the ball into the net.

6 to 7.

Although the Raptors' strength has been damaged due to the absence of O'Neal Jr. and Nash, judging from this 0.25 quarter of the game between the Raptors and Philadelphia this season, this Philadelphia team has indeed become stronger.

In the first quarter, Su Feng and Carter's successive one-on-one plays not only failed to destroy the Philadelphia thugs, but also because they were dragged into the positional warfare stage by Philadelphia for a long time, the Raptors failed to play their best fast break.

Moreover...

After learning from the Pistons being swept by the Raptors last year, Carlisle has his own set of experience in dealing with top swingmen like Su Feng and Carter.

Logically speaking, if Su Feng's successor in this life goes to find his brother Wade in the future, then Su Feng's successor will definitely be targeted to death by Carlisle.

"How much of the road to the future have I blocked?"

At the end of the first quarter, looking at the score of 28 to 25, Su Feng silently sighed.

In the second quarter, the Raptors began to be affected by the absence of their main players.

Because generally speaking, when Su Feng doesn't rest in the second quarter, the Raptors can take advantage of their powerful bench lineup.

But tonight, after Davis sent on the role players who rarely had a chance to play, you can clearly see the huge gap between them and the Raptors' main players.

At a time of crisis, Carter couldn't sit still.

With 9 minutes left in the second quarter, he took the initiative to ask to play after only resting for 3 minutes.

On the other side, Su Feng also withstood the pressure, using breakthroughs and drawing fouls to help the Raptors get through this more difficult period.

At the end of the first half, the Raptors successfully entered the second half with a 4-point lead.

In the first half, Su Feng scored 19 points and 6 rebounds.

Carter had 15 points and 4 rebounds.

The long-lost Gemini combination scored 34 points together in the first half, and many Dragon fans in front of the TV felt that their youth had returned.

At the Central State Arena, Philadelphia fans also saw the changes that Yao Ming was bringing to this Philadelphia thug team.

Because in the face of such a barbaric and unreasonable Su-Carter combination, Philadelphia was not defeated after the first half of the game tonight.

You must know that before this, in the NBA, only a few teams such as the Celtics had done this when facing the Raptors.

Therefore, during the halftime break, the Philadelphia fans on the scene also improvised and sang a song for Yao Ming.

A melody that is not quite the same...

But the meaning is not much different "Yao's Song".

It is worth mentioning that, at this time, Iverson also showed the side of his character that "if you are my brother, come and cut me".

That is, after he recognized Yao Ming as a brother, he not only did not envy Yao Ming, but also encouraged Yao Ming: "Hey, big guy, everyone is singing for you tonight, you have to score more points in the second half!"

Hearing this, the young Yao Ming also showed his extremely high emotional intelligence.

"Hehehe, my scoring ability is still a bit poor now, but Allen, as long as you are here, I believe we will definitely be able to beat Brother Feng!"

Bang, bang.

After bowing his head and pulling on his headband, Iverson poked Yao Ming's waist with his elbow and smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself too much, Yao. In my opinion, you are not much worse than Shaq and Tim."

Logically speaking...

Su Feng not seeing this scene is definitely a big regret in his life.

Because back then, that's how he tricked Iverson into playing.

After the halftime break, the second half of the game continued.

In the third quarter, Carter continued his feel from the first half.

As soon as he came up, he made a super long three-pointer with a very high degree of difficulty half a meter away from the three-point line.

In Su Feng's previous life, Carter had contributed 16 game-winning shots in his career, and 8 of them were three-point game-winning shots, which proves that he has the ability to shoot such super long three-pointers.

Of course, the game has only reached the second half at this time, so Carter's super long three-pointer is purely because his personal feeling has come up and he wants to show off.

At this time, in Toronto, at Old Curry's house.

Stephen Curry, who was already in Carter's shape, felt that Uncle Carter's three-pointer just now was really too handsome.

Although on the surface, he was "forced" to wear Su Feng's No. 23 Raptors children's jersey to watch the game with Seth, but for the young Stephen Curry...

Carter is the eternal god in his heart!

And aside...

That is, Seth doesn't know what his brother is thinking.

Otherwise, he would definitely curse his brother for being a double standard dog.

Because Uncle "Melo" shoots more of this kind of super long three-pointer!

The camera returns to the Central State Arena.

Under Iverson's flicker, Yao Ming, who felt that he had infinite power, successfully played out the famous scene in Su Feng's memory in the middle of this quarter.

At that time, in the low post, Yao Ming relied on his height and used a left shoulder bump and then a right turn bump to knock Da Ben out of the baseline.

And Da Ben was anxious at that time...

Because this Yao Ming doesn't talk about martial ethics!

Originally, when defending Yao Ming this time, Da Ben wanted to tell Yao Ming through practical actions that methods like his, which only use brute force to bump, are not good.

Because traditional back-up offense is about transforming power!

Back then, Ratliff, a strongman from Alabama weighing more than 200 pounds, couldn't even pry his fingers open.

Therefore, when he noticed Yao Ming rushing towards him, Da Ben defended without thinking.

Pay attention...

Da Ben defended all the way out.

However, just when Da Ben thought that Yao Ming would stop there, who would have thought that Yao Ming not only did not stop, but gradually increased the force of his back-up offense against him.

So...

Da Ben was "careless".

And he who didn't dodge...

Also became Yao Ming's background board at this moment.

Clang!

At the Central State Arena, when Yao Ming's dunk resounded throughout the audience, the cheers of "Yao, Yao, Yao" instantly penetrated the entire Pennsylvania dome!

And the last time a Chinese player made the Central State Arena so crazy was...

Su Feng in the 96/97 season.

On CCTV, Director Zhang excitedly said: "What is called dominance?

Dominance is played out, not blown out!"

"Whoa! Big guy, you really completed a dunk on Ben's head!"

And on the court, Iverson also rushed to Yao Ming as soon as possible, ignoring Da Ben's feelings and completed a chest bump with Yao Ming.

Da Ben: "..."

Allen, back then, in order to protect you, I also fought with Rodman!

But why...

Why have you forgotten your old love when you have a new love?

"Don't stand there, pass the ball quickly!"

And just when Da Ben was still feeling uncomfortable silently, Barkley, who couldn't stand it, hurriedly urged him to pass the ball.

Da Ben: "..."

"Good defense, Ben.

Don't lose your faith in continuing to defend just because you didn't defend once.

Believe me, in my opinion, your defense is not much worse than Dennis Rodman."

At this time, Su Feng, who saw that Da Ben was in low spirits, hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Hearing this, Da Ben immediately felt that Su Feng was the only one who was good to him in this Raptors team.

However...

After thinking carefully in his mind, Da Ben always felt that something was wrong.

Because...

Su Feng used to praise himself with players of Malone's level...

But this time...

Why did it become Rodman?

Damn it!

Su...

You have really changed.

You are no longer the Su in my memory, who always liked to rub my back!

On the court, after Yao Ming's dunk, the momentum of the Philadelphia thugs, which had been suppressed by the Raptors in the first half of the third quarter, returned.

As a result, after three quarters...

Tonight, the Philadelphia thugs only trailed the Raptors by 5 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 81 to 76.

In the fourth quarter, Su Feng still didn't rest.

And in order to regain the second-in-command position that originally belonged to him during Nash's injury time, Carter also didn't rest.

It's just that before going on the court, Su Feng took the initiative to ask about his recent physical condition.

After all, Carter didn't rest much this summer.

And after Carter patted his chest to confirm that he didn't need to worry about his physical condition, Su Feng approved his appearance in the early stage of the fourth quarter.

Unfortunately...

Although Iverson and Yao Ming made many efforts to turn the tide in this game, unfortunately, Carter regained his value on this night.

In the final quarter, Su Feng and Carter took turns, and the brothers put out the Philadelphia thugs' counterattack one by one.

In the end, the score of this game was 110 to 101.

In the whole game, Su Feng scored 38 points, plus 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. (All blocked Iverson)

Carter scored a new personal high of 33 points this season, plus 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block. (Also blocked Iverson)

The Raptors' Gemini combination scored 71 points together, and on the Philadelphia side, Iverson scored 35 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds on 13 of 31 shots, plus free throws and three-pointers.

In addition, Yao Ming also contributed 25 points and 12 rebounds, which made Barkley feel terrified.

After the game, Carter, who was back in shape, obviously straightened his waist more than before when accepting interviews.

"In fact, I have always believed that I am the best second-in-command in NBA history."

It's just...

This post-match speech is still as Terry-like as ever.

And after finishing this game with Philadelphia, Su Feng, who had finished supper with Iverson and Yao Ming, felt that the world today...

Has become strange to him.

Because it was clearly a supper for three people...

But Su Feng always felt that he was the superfluous one among the three.

Fortunately, on the 20th, after returning to Toronto, Su Feng could happily learn English with Britney again.

And just at this time...

Perhaps it was because the Celtics were alone in the East this year.

Perhaps it was because Artie felt that he was invincible after breaking Jordan's ribs in the summer.

Anyway, on the 20th, on the night when the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the West, Artie said confidently in a post-match interview:

"Although the Raptors will lose several important players due to injuries in the Christmas game soon, in my opinion, this is not important at all.

Because even if they are all healthy, they cannot stop the Celtics' iron hooves.

Oh? You said Su is in good shape this season?

Heh... that's just because the opponents they play are not strong enough.

In fact, as early as when we first played against them this year, I had already seen through Su's offensive routine."

It is worth mentioning that, originally, Artie's outburst of wild words was only regarded by people as his usual boast before being beaten wildly by Su Feng every year...

But unfortunately, on the 21st, before the start of the Raptors' game against the Nets...

Pierce, who established a revolutionary friendship with Artie in the summer, also said in an interview: "I think Ron is right, people overrate Su too much.

I still have the same view as before, that is, the current No. 23 is far worse than the previous No. 23."

As a result, in Toronto, because he was used to Terry-like, Terry-like, and Perry-like for many years, Su Feng himself was fine...

After all, Su Feng couldn't wait for more good kids like Artie and Pierce who like to add buffs to themselves in the future.

But...

This time, Su Feng's blacksmithing system couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ding————!

Please check the system's God-given Buff and accept the mission of 'Punishing Arrogant and Ignorant Young People'!"

Su Feng: "..."

Look!

What did I just say!

Good kids like Artie and Pierce...

Seriously, are they sure they are not his number one fans?
