Silently Writing
Chapter 416 Think of a Way, Brother Feng!
During the second quarter, after Su Feng scored 7 consecutive points, Philadelphia's coach Rick Carlisle decisively called a timeout.
At this moment, Barkley used his actions to tell the world the answer.
Before the Raptors' water boy, Korone, could hand Su Feng a towel...
Barkley had already taken the lead in wiping Su Feng's sweat.
What made the arrogant "Flying Pig" beam with joy on this night?
And what made this NBA Top 50 player willing to abandon that damned "dignity"?
"I said it when Su just entered the league..."
"Even if my grandma teamed up with him, my grandma could win a championship!"
On the Raptors' bench, Barkley, who had never experienced what it was like to have a "big shot" teammate, rubbed Su Feng's shoulders and said with a bright smile.
And at this moment, there should be a background music playing on the Raptors' bench.
Before the game, to prepare for this match against the Raptors, Christie watched at least 50 highlight reels of Su Feng's one-on-one plays.
In Christie's view, it was an impossible task to limit Su Feng's shots in today's game.
So, making Su Feng as uncomfortable as possible...
Was the primary task he set for himself before the game.
On the court, under Christie's excellent defense, Su Feng had to choose to fade away for his shot.
To create the best shooting environment, Su Feng's fadeaway was not only fast, but also at a great angle.
From the overall shape of the fadeaway shot, Su Feng's fadeaway still looked as elegant as ever.
But...
In the eyes of Christie, a defensive expert, Su Feng's fadeaway had lost its original balance.
However...
Swish!
31 to 38.
Like Michael Jordan's unreasonable fadeaway...
Su Feng's fadeaway and Jordan's fadeaway were essentially the same technique.
That is...
It doesn't matter if you disrupt my body balance.
As long as you don't ruin my shooting form, you can only bet that I'll miss.
And it was obvious that...
Su Feng's "hitting iron" value was crying in some dark corner again tonight.
Scumbag, you promised you'd be hitting iron forever, and love iron forever!
Don't you love Christie's such high "hitting iron" value anymore?
Su Feng: I want to, but I'm just so accurate, what can I do?
No way...
Su Feng felt his touch was quite average during the pre-game warm-up.
But as he played...
He suddenly felt the basket was as wide as the ocean.
Maybe that's what they call talent!
You know, among all of Su Feng's attributes, shooting was the only attribute he didn't bother to improve.
But...
Judging from Su Feng's current hexagonal ability chart with a missing corner, his shooting attribute was second only to his defensive attribute.
The game continued, Philadelphia on offense.
After creating space with a large Crossover on the perimeter, Iverson pulled up for a three-pointer.
Swish!
34 to 38.
In the 96/97 season, this way of scoring was one of Iverson's specialties.
However, after Brown arrived, Iverson's offensive method was taught to be a踩线三分 (stepping on the line three-pointer).
And this season, the first thing Carlisle did when he came to Philadelphia was to brainwash Iverson.
That is...
Allen, look at this three-pointer, it's long and awesome, why do you have to stare at the踩线三分 (stepping on the line three-pointer)?
Judging from Iverson's characteristics and style, he was still very different from Su Feng's nephew, Curry.
Plus, not everyone has Curry's touch.
So, Su Feng knew early on when he was guiding Iverson that Iverson couldn't play like Curry.
But...
Iverson's efficiency increased after he appropriately reduced his high-position jump shots.
Because his踩线三分 (stepping on the line three-pointer) accuracy rate was less than 40%, how could it be more cost-effective than a 30% three-point shooting rate?
As an essential scoring skill for offensive players on the basketball court, mid-range shooting is an indispensable technique for top scorers.
However...
Carlisle felt that Iverson's previous average of 7 or 8踩线三分 (stepping on the line three-pointers) was unnecessary.
It has to be said that after two years of detours, Carlisle's arrival has indeed filled this new Philadelphia gang with hope again.
On the court, the first half of the second quarter has become a shootout between Su Feng and Iverson.
Watching this scene in front of the TV, Philadelphia fans not only didn't feel happy, but they even felt a little heartbroken.
Because originally...
These two were both theirs!
As for the neutral fans?
Hey!
Just have fun watching it!
In the second quarter, both teams requested substitutions after the official timeout.
For Philadelphia, Yao, Ratliff, and Snow came on, replacing the two interior role players and Christie.
Aaron McKie shifted to the small forward position.
On the Raptors' side, O'Neal replaced Big Ben, and Carter and Nash replaced Old Curry and Jaric, respectively.
Barkley continued to be left on the court by Davis.
This "Flying Pig" was conscientious tonight, and unconsciously had already scored 4 points and 5 rebounds.
After the adjustments were completed, the game continued.
Philadelphia on offense, Yao singled O'Neal in the low post.
Because Yao and O'Neal often trained together in low-post techniques in the Steel City, the two knew each other very well.
O'Neal tried his best to disrupt Yao's post-up rhythm, and Yao was not afraid at all...
After two hard hits, he turned around and raised the ball to a height that O'Neal couldn't reach.
Bang, swish!
48 to 49.
Barkley, who saw this scene from the side, was already feeling uneasy.
Because he knew very well that based on the basic skills Yao Ming had shown tonight, it was only a matter of time before he scored 30 points in the NBA.
"Su, how's your little brother's free throw?" Barkley asked Su Feng during the break as he ran to the frontcourt.
And at this time...
Su Feng finally understood why Barkley kissed the donkey's butt in his previous life...
Because you know nothing about Yao Ming, and you dare to bet with that old schemer, Smith?
"What do you think?" Su Feng asked with a speechless expression.
"I think his free throws must be good considering his fadeaway." Barkley reasoned with reason and evidence.
Su Feng patted Barkley on the shoulder, "He hasn't played many NBA games yet, so he doesn't have many chances to go to the free throw line, but I can tell you, his free throws...
Should be more accurate than mine."
Barkley: "..."
Danger!
At this moment, the thing Barkley wanted to do most was probably to slap himself hard in the face.
Why did his stinky mouth have to think so badly and bet with that bastard Kenny Smith?
On the court, Barkley also made a jump shot at the high post in return.
Ratliff and Yao were both tortured by the Raptors' retreating interior players tonight.
Judging from the scoring ratio of the two teams so far...
You might not believe it, but the Raptors, who were leading, had only half as many points in the paint as Philadelphia.
No way...
With the interior lineup of Yao and Ratliff...
Unless Su Feng wanted to experience how an emperor was overthrown, he wouldn't recklessly activate the Emperor Engine to impact the wall of sighs inside the Philadelphia gang.
Bang!
Philadelphia on offense, Iverson and Yao Ming completed a classic pick-and-roll.
Zhang Zhidao of CCTV said, "I remember that ESPN did a technical statistic before, that is, from the preseason to now, Iverson is the player in the Philadelphia gang who has given Yao Ming the most assists."
And Yu Jia on the side echoed, "So, those who say Iverson plays alone probably don't watch the game."
Alright...
In this life, even if American fans say Iverson is a cancer in the future, Chinese fans will definitely only regard this topic as a joke.
Because...
The number of times Iverson has fed Su Feng and Yao Ming...
Isn't that enough to shut up the "experts"?
In the first half, the two teams fought fiercely for half the game, and the score was 59 to 63.
Su Feng focused on passing in the first quarter and scoring in the second quarter. At the end of the half, he scored a luxurious 24 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds.
On the Philadelphia side, Iverson's shooting percentage declined in the second quarter, but he also scored 20 points and 5 assists at the end of the first half.
Yao contributed 8 points and 7 rebounds.
After the halftime break, in the third quarter, under Davis's guidance, Carter finally regained his ambition.
However...
It wasn't something Carter could do overnight to regain his form.
At this time, Su Feng also showed his long-term vision.
That is, even if Carter's state was not good, Su Feng still decisively let Nash hand the ball to Carter when he took the initiative to ask for the ball.
After all...
The NBA season is so long, Su Feng has plenty of time to wait for Carter to return to his previous best state.
Take Carter's performance as the team's sixth man last season...
Honestly, his efficiency crushed all the previously known super sixth men in history.
Plus, Su Feng had already consumed a lot of energy in his scheming with Christie, so since Carter wanted to play, why not let him stretch his muscles?
But...
The happiness between people is really not connected.
On the court, in the third quarter, Carter, who kept hitting iron under Iverson's defense, was about to become autistic.
Seriously...
For a moment, Su Feng almost thought that Carter had the same system as him and wanted to刷打铁值 (farm iron-hitting value) in front of Iverson.
Because with Iverson's defense...
Isn't that something anyone can do?
"Oh my god, if Carter is always in this state, then it will be difficult for the Raptors to establish a dynasty this year." Zhang Zhidao of CCTV, who saw this scene, also worried about the Raptors.
At this time, Carter had made up his mind on the court.
"Su... starting tomorrow, let's go one-on-one until 12 o'clock every day after training!" Taking advantage of a timeout, Carter took the initiative to ask Su Feng to beat him up.
Pfft!
Hearing this, Su Feng almost died of laughter because of Carter.
Go one-on-one every day until 12 o'clock at night...
Dude, don't you know that I have to get up at four o'clock every morning?
Are you going to let me sleep?
"Vince, it's good that you have this positive and upward heart.
But you also played in the Olympics in the summer and lacked rest, so I don't recommend that you push the intensity too high during daily training." Patting Carter on the shoulder, Su Feng comforted him.
As a team that wants to create a dynasty, Su Feng knew very well that health comes first.
In the past two years, the fact that the Raptors' players have not suffered major injuries is the key reason why the Raptors can have the last laugh.
Therefore, in Su Feng's view, it was enough after noticing that Carter had adjusted his mentality.
As for the rest...
That can only be left to time.
After all, the story of a player being able to explode immediately after a wave of inspirational encouragement only exists in superpower comics.
On the court, in the second half of the third quarter, Su Feng, who had taken a breather, once again shouldered the banner of attacking for the Raptors.
On the Philadelphia side, as Yao and Iverson's stamina declined, their weaknesses were also exposed to the Raptors.
That is, except for Christie, the offensive firepower of this Philadelphia gang is not enough to ensure that they can kill the Raptors in one wave after gaining an advantage.
As a result, on this night, Su Feng took the lead in waiting for the oasis that suddenly appeared on his trip in the desert.
Dell Curry.
The father of Stephen Curry and Seth Curry.
The shooter who was tricked by Su Feng to come to Toronto in advance for the sake of his two sons' tuition fees.
On this Chinese Derby night, he once again proved the Curry family's innate ability to carry big scenes.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Although usually, his two sons often complain that he is useless in this Raptors team.
But in fact, in the past two years, God knows how many games Su Feng has won with the help of this former Charlotte Hornets super sixth man.
Honestly...
If Curry wants to use the championship to bury his father in the future in this life...
That will be difficult.
Because Old Curry, who already has two championships in hand, is like a master in front of Barkley.
In the end, in the fourth quarter, with the strong performance of Su Feng and Curry, the Raptors seized the opportunity, pushed back to the high ground in one wave, and directly took away the Philadelphia gang.
The score of this game was 104 to 117.
In the whole game, Su Feng made 13 of 26 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored a game-high 40 points, plus 9 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
O'Neal contributed the team's second-highest 22 points and 11 rebounds.
Old Curry scored a valuable 12 points, and his 4 three-pointers were all scored in the fourth quarter.
But...
Although winning this key battle was a happy event worth celebrating...
After the game, when he noticed that his number of assists was exactly 9...
Su Feng suddenly wanted to kick Carter to death again.
No way...
Because Su Feng is always too focused when playing games, so he rarely looks at the game data while playing like his other person who has not yet become his nephew but has been reserved by him as his big nephew, Westbrook.
On the Philadelphia side, Iverson scored a team-high 35 points and 8 assists.
Yao handed over a double-double answer sheet of 17 points and 10 rebounds.
It is worth mentioning that in Iverson's 8 assists, he gave Yao Ming 5 assists.
After the game, the two teams' coaches sent their blessings to each other's teams.
The young Yao also mentioned in an interview that he learned a lot from Su Feng.
However, for Su Feng, from this calm and seemingly harmonious post-match press conference...
What he saw was a...
Philadelphia gang that will grow rapidly this season.
"It seems that before Vince regains his form... I have to think of a way."
Su Feng knew very well that compared to the previous two years, this year was probably the year for the Raptors to ensure their playoff advantage.
Therefore...
Not long after the game with the Philadelphia gang, Su Feng found Nash as soon as possible.
"Steve, are you free tomorrow? Come to my house and sit down?" Putting his arm around Nash's shoulder, Su Feng smiled.
