Silently Writing
Chapter 343 A New History, Su Feng's Record Night
Huh?
5x5?
During the halftime break in the Raptors' locker room, it wasn't until D'Antoni reminded him...
That Su Feng, who had been solely focused on how to defeat the Lakers in the first half, realized he had the chance to create a brand-new record tonight.
And as a "fair and impartial" head coach who "never shows favoritism"...
Upon noticing that his beloved disciple had the opportunity to create his own classic moment, Davis, not even giving the players much time to rest, pulled out his tactical board and said:
"Let me briefly explain our tactics for the second half..."
Carter: "???"
After listening to the tactics Davis had arranged, Carter, while not highly intelligent in social situations, was not lacking in IQ, and he realized that this was simply helping Su Feng pad his stats, wasn't it?
However... just as Carter was about to say what he thought with indignation, McGrady, standing next to him, covered his mouth directly, not giving him a chance to speak at all.
However...
McGrady was still one step too late.
Because in the locker room, Nash had already spoken first: "I think this arrangement is very okay.
And Su, you don't have to worry about being accused of padding your stats because of this.
Because we are only leading the Lakers by 24 points right now, and if we don't play around you, I feel that our chances of being overturned are very high."
That makes sense, Nash!
In the locker room, Su Feng, who was still "hesitating", immediately made up his mind after being reminded by Nash.
Because as the only core of the Raptors, in Su Feng's opinion, carrying the team on his shoulders was the leader's inescapable duty.
"Yes, I very much agree with Steve's view.
Our current situation is actually not good, and the Lakers may turn the game around at any time.
So I also think that we must play around Su in the second half." After Nash took his stance, Old Curry also spoke up for the sake of his two sons' tuition fees.
This...
Carter, whose mouth had been covered by McGrady earlier, felt...
He was starting to not understand the world anymore.
And after glancing at his cousin, McGrady felt that Carter still hadn't made any progress in how he handled himself in the world.
Because in this cruel and ruthless world, where is there only black and white?
Don't you see that there's also a layer of gray in between?
Yes, not necessarily right.
Wrong, not necessarily wrong either.
Caliber is truth, range is justice. For the Raptors at the moment, Su Feng is forever a god!
…
After halftime, the game continued.
Because they were already leading the Lakers by 24 points, Su Feng didn't have any psychological burden when he was padding his stats.
The only regret was that, because he usually played too much team basketball, Su Feng discovered that he, the inventor of the sewer tactics, was actually a little rusty when it came to using his own sewer tactics.
But practice makes perfect.
In the third quarter, after grabbing two rebounds to stabilize the rhythm, Su Feng quickly became immersed in the joy of frantically delivering cannonballs to his teammates.
As the saying goes, scoring is one person's joy, while assisting is two people's joy.
Looking at his teammates, who were playing more and more smoothly under his "orderly" organization, Su Feng finally understood the joy of Kuroko in that superpower basketball manga at that moment.
Then there's the Lakers side...
Kobe was going crazy.
Because when he noticed that the Raptors' players could make shots even when they were randomly chucking them up, while his teammates around him were constantly missing open shots, Kobe felt that something was wrong.
Wait...
The Raptors can make shots even with defenders in their faces, so how did it turn into wide-open bricks on our side?
Glen, what about your over 40% three-point shooting percentage?
Rashard, what about your catch-and-shoot that you practice 1000 times a day?
Robert, what about your clutch gene that always comes through at critical moments?
Derek...
Um...
He's trash.
Kobe was feeling terrible.
Because he really wanted to use practical actions to tell Su Feng that what he was doing wasn't called organizing.
But...
Just like how, in the future, the turtle-bros would post his explosive assist stats to shove it in the faces of other point guards' fans, what Kobe was destroying on this night was more than just his values.
At this moment, Kobe was close to questioning his entire life!
And questioning their lives along with Kobe...
Was also O'Neal.
Because in the third quarter...
The Raptors didn't even put Ben Wallace in!
In order to better help Su Feng pad his stats...
Bah!
In order to not give the Lakers a chance to turn the game around, Davis decisively took down Ben Wallace in the third quarter and switched to Jermaine O'Neal at center.
As a result, O'Neal, who had been treating Jermaine O'Neal like a little brother before the game, was completely outplayed by Jermaine O'Neal for an entire quarter.
And then, even though he could always find opportunities to vent his anger in the game...
How long would O'Neal have to score two points at a time to make up for the hole that the Lakers had dug for themselves in the first half?
And tonight, even O'Neal felt that the heavens were against the Lakers.
Because in the third quarter, when he noticed that the shots he and Kobe passed out were being bricked by their teammates like crazy, and then stepped on a few times...
O'Neal felt that the Lakers couldn't win tonight.
But in fact, O'Neal and Kobe had really misunderstood their teammates.
Because compared to the Raptors, who had completely relaxed, the Lakers naturally had to start with defense in order to chase points.
And if they wanted to play high-quality defense, the Lakers' players' touch on offense would definitely be affected to a certain extent.
In addition, the Raptors were playing better and better tonight, and as Zhang指导 would say:
—It was a matter of waxing and waning.
On TNT, Smith had completely transformed into Su Feng's stats keeper.
Throughout the entire third quarter, he kept repeatedly broadcasting Su Feng's every stat to the audience.
And in the third quarter, when Su Feng successfully intercepted the Lakers' offense with his prediction, Smith said excitedly at the time: "This is Su's fifth steal of the night!
Now, with just one more block, he will rewrite history!"
In front of the TV, at the arena, countless fans were patiently anticipating the moment when history would be made.
And the facts proved that Kobe was indeed Su Feng's true love!
Because even if they lost the game, the Lakers' players didn't want Su Feng to create history, so in the third quarter, the Lakers' players were almost dodging Su Feng when they were on offense.
But in doing so, the Lakers' players probably didn't notice that they were missing out on many opportunities in the process.
And for Kobe, who was not afraid of anything, he could only choose to take matters into his own hands when his teammates were bricking shots like crazy on the court.
Screw it!
So what if it's just stats and records?
Let him have it!
What I want is to win the game!
Hey, you have to say, under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers really had the feeling of gaining momentum in the second half of the third quarter.
However...
If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
With 2 minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter of this game, the moment when history was made had arrived!
On the court, Kobe, who was holding the ball and attacking the paint, fearlessly completed a smooth layup.
Unfortunately, Su Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, ruthlessly rejected Kobe's layup with his big hand.
It's worth mentioning that because the Raptors adopted a small lineup in the third quarter, Su Feng wasn't responsible for guarding Kobe in the third quarter.
Therefore, with Kobe's playing style in this life, he should have chosen to pass the ball in the face of Su Feng's help defense.
However, because his teammates had bricked too many shots before, Kobe didn't intend to pass the ball at all at the moment when he broke into the paint with the ball.
So...
A little-known fact that would be repeatedly mentioned by the honey-bros in the years to come was also born on this night.
Su Feng and Kobe's one thousand and one little secrets, number fifty-eight:
On the night when Su Feng became the first perimeter player in NBA history to put up a "5x5" stat line, all five of Su Feng's blocks were on Kobe.
"Wow! This is an incredible night!
This is Su's fifth block! He has become the first perimeter player in NBA history to put up a '5x5' stat line!" On TNT, as Smith's words reached millions of households in North America...
In an instant, Su Feng's name once again resonated throughout North America.
Perhaps, for fans in the future who are tired of stat wars, stats like "5x5" are nothing special.
But for this era...
Stats like "5x5", especially a stat that even Jordan hadn't put up...
Everything that Su Feng had done on this night was enough to shock the world.
In his previous life, after reading too many basketball novels, Su Feng would also feel that 20 or 30 points in the NBA were nothing special.
But in fact, in this life, after experiencing the NBA firsthand, Su Feng realized how difficult it was to get 20 or 30 points in the NBA.
As for the "5x5" stats created tonight?
To be honest...
It really requires a bit of luck.
Because just like how D'Antoni reminded him in the first half that Su Feng had a chance to create history tonight...
I have to say, fate is indeed wonderful.
But tonight, the hand responsible for writing history did not put down the pen.
Because at the end of the third quarter, after grabbing his 10th rebound of the night, Su Feng also recorded the first triple-double of his career!
After three quarters of play.
20 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 5 blocks, 5 steals.
Here comes another little-known fact.
Although by 1999, there were already 4 players in the NBA who had recorded "5x5" stats in a game.
But so far, only one player has been able to record "5x5" stats while also recording a triple-double.
And that player's name is:
"The Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon.
On TNT, Smith, who was temporarily at a loss for words, said after brewing for a full two minutes: "This is a night that will be remembered in history!
I don't know if anyone will put up these stats in the future, but I will definitely remember that 21-year-old Su is the first perimeter player to achieve this."
And on CCTV, Zhang指导, who was happy for Su Feng, also laughed and said: "We often use 'unprecedented' to describe some scenes that have never happened before.
So I think that at this moment, no words are more suitable to describe everything that Su Feng has done than 'unprecedented'."
And Sun指导, who was inspired by poetry, pondered for a while and said: "Jordan and Magic's unique skills are known to all, but they are no longer fresh. Talented people come forth from every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years!"
At the Air Canada Centre, at the end of the third quarter, the Raptors fans in the arena also stood up and applauded Su Feng.
Perhaps, the only regret for the Raptors fans on this night was...
After three quarters of play, they had almost locked in the victory of the game.
In the fourth quarter, because they were unable to catch up with the score, "Zen Master" decisively gave up treatment, considering O'Neal and Kobe's mood for the next game.
And on the Raptors' side, Davis also wisely let Su Feng punch out early.
After all, as the etiquette of the 90s, Davis didn't want to provoke a big brawl at the Air Canada Centre when the opponent had already given up the game.
And in front of the TV, this was probably the happiest garbage time that the bunnies in front of the TV had ever watched.
Because on the court, with the game entering garbage time early, the Lakers sent Wang Zhizhi, and the Raptors also replaced Mengke Bateer.
As a result, you have to say, watching the two major centers of the Chinese men's basketball team compete on the NBA court really had a different kind of fun.
And tonight, Bateer, who successfully contributed a one-armed takedown of O'Neal's famous scene in the first quarter, also successfully scared O'Neal, who was sitting on the Lakers' bench and sulking with Kobe, at the end of this game...
Because at that time, Bateer hit the first three-pointer of his NBA career.
Yes, O'Neal wasn't mistaken.
Bateer was also a big man who could shoot threes!
In his previous life, Su Feng had always felt that the men's basketball team at this time had already walked to the forefront of the times.
Because basically, there were no big men in the Chinese men's basketball team at this time who couldn't shoot.
"Wow, Bateer's three-pointer was pretty good, look, O'Neal was startled." On Da Tianchao TV, Zhang指导 laughed.
"Although Bateer has a rough face, his technique is actually quite comprehensive." And Sun指导 also echoed.
In the end, 85 to 115, the Raptors successfully won this highly anticipated focus battle at home.
And since Su Feng entered the league...
His winning streak against O'Neal, including the regular season and playoffs, had also reached 10 games.
And in the whole game, besides Su Feng, who put up "20+10+10+5+5", the best performer on the Raptors was Jermaine O'Neal.
I don't know if Old Dunleavy would bang his head against the wall after watching Jermaine O'Neal's game tonight.
Anyway, after tonight, Su Feng believed that those who thought the Trail Blazers had robbed the Raptors would definitely question their lives.
In this game, Jermaine O'Neal made 9 of 16 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring a team-high 23 points, plus 6 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 assists.
And Carter and McGrady combined for 35 points.
In addition, Nash and Old Curry, who came off the bench, also had 11 and 12 points respectively, and among them, Nash also contributed 8 assists, second only to Su Feng.
As for the Lakers...
O'Neal still scored a game-high 28 points and 19 rebounds.
And Kobe had 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and...
Was blocked by Su Feng five times.
After the game, Su Feng comforted Kobe at the first time: "We'll have to play again next year. Although I blocked you five times in this game, you still have a chance to get your revenge..."
Kobe: "......"
Friendship over.
This time, it was really the end of friendship.
In Kobe's opinion, no matter what delicious food Su Feng used to lure him next, he would never forgive his actions...
"What time is your flight?
I still have a portion of Italian sausage pizza at home that I haven't eaten. Do you have time to come to my house for a late-night snack before you leave?" In the player tunnel, patting Kobe on the shoulder, Su Feng smiled.
"Of course I have time, we don't fly until 4 a.m." Looking at Su Feng, Kobe blurted out subconsciously.
Games...
As the saying goes, enemies on the court, friends off the court.
As Su Feng's best friend, how could Kobe refuse Su Feng's late-night snack invitation?
And not long after the game ended...
Su Feng, who returned to the locker room and showered with Ben Wallace, found that because he had successfully created a new record tonight when he opened the system interface...
So in his "Legendary Moment Series Mission" tree diagram, a new branch had appeared that had been lit up by him.
And after reading the mission rewards of this branch, Su Feng was immediately not calm!
This...
This is not a reward at all, this is simply blatant cheating!
And on the side, when he noticed the wretched smile on Su Feng's face, Ben Wallace didn't know why, but he suddenly felt his chrysanthemum tighten...
