Chapter 2 Continuation of the Match

In the second quarter, Su Feng continued his outstanding performance from the first quarter.

During the Raptors' offense, facing Pierce's relentless defense, Su Feng directly chose to pull up for a jump shot from the left side of the arc.

The basketball arced perfectly through the air, swishing through the net cleanly. 31-29.

In return, the Nets launched their offense. Replacement player Mcilvaine's Fail successfully made a fool of both his teammates and opponents.

Fail, who had a clear lane to the basket after a pick-and-roll, actually slammed the ball directly against the backboard. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was trying some fancy play with his teammates.

Su Feng, who was initially unfamiliar with this guy's name, immediately and accurately searched for Fail's relevant information in his memory bank.

Fail, standing at 206 centimeters tall and weighing 118 kilograms, plays center on the court. He is one of the representatives of raw talent in the NBA.

In his previous life, before leaving the NBA, Fail, as an inside player, had created a very embarrassing record.

That was in the 00/01 season, when his finishing rate under the basket was only 30%.

No exaggeration, in front of this guy, Ben Wallace could definitely pat his chest and call himself a technical player.

On the court, Nash, who was preparing to come back to support his team's inside, unexpectedly picked up the rebound.

The Raptors took the opportunity to counterattack, and Old Curry scored on a fast break, 33-29.

During the Nets' offense, Pierce, who carried everything in the second quarter, showed his ruthless side.

As someone who couldn't be killed with random knives, how could the strong Pierce surrender to Su Feng so easily?

Bang, bang, bang!

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Pierce, on the wing, wiggled his big butt and drove straight inside without saying a word.

Although Pierce's offensive skills were still a bit rough at this time, he had already begun to develop his own understanding of rhythm control.

After using his back to forcefully attack and go head-to-head with Su Feng for several rounds, Pierce suddenly turned towards the weak side.

And just as Su Feng lunged towards Pierce's turning direction...

The agile Pierce quickly pulled the ball back and completed the shot on the opposite side.

33-31.

These were the first two points Pierce had scored tonight.

If you ignored Pierce's experience of getting beat up tonight, this play was definitely a textbook back attack.

Not easy!

Too difficult!

Only God knew what Poor Pierce had gone through tonight!

Throughout the first quarter tonight, under Su Feng's defense, Pierce, who missed all five of his shots, couldn't even get the ball, let alone shoot it. He felt it was an incredibly difficult task.

"Paul shouldn't have provoked Su, because he simply doesn't know how vindictive Su is.

I remember when I was playing for the 76ers before...

Once, Jerry happened to win against Su in a one-on-one match.

As a result, Su made Jerry practice all night until Jerry was completely exhausted and couldn't stand up, before letting him go," former Su Feng teammate Smith explained to the fans in front of the TV on TNT.

On the court, the Raptors attacked.

Su Feng, who had just been ambushed by Pierce, immediately returned an Answer.Ball to Pierce.

In the low post, Su Feng, holding the ball with one hand, exhausted Pierce's patience through continuous fakes and then hit a bank shot, 35-31.

As time went on, Su Feng's one-handed triple threat had become incredibly refined.

Especially when it came to messing with the defender's mentality, the one-handed triple threat was simply a divine skill among divine skills.

During the Nets' offense, Pierce failed to get into position with the help of his teammate's screen. In a moment of desperation, the Nets' backup point guard, Perry, had to force his way into the Raptors' iron-blooded formation.

However, perhaps because he had passed Nash too easily, Perry's mid-range shot failed to hit the mark.

Ben grabbed the rebound, and the Raptors launched another counterattack.

On the court, Su Feng was almost being hugged by Pierce, but the referee didn't care.

Seeing that Su Feng didn't have a good opportunity, Nash turned around and charged into the Nets' interior on his own.

On the court, after Nash's elegant layup, the Nets' coach, Cahill, called a timeout.

Although he didn't have much knowledge in his belly, Cahill knew very well that if he let the Raptors continue playing like this, in a few minutes, the point difference in this game would quickly widen to more than 20 points.

This season, many media outlets have analyzed the secret to the Raptors' strength, and the most important one is:

You can't mess with the Raptors in the second quarter.

After the timeout, Cahill brought back Francis, who had performed well tonight.

In addition, Kittles also came on the court, replacing Pierce.

You know what, Cahill's substitution immediately took effect.

Kittles, who got a shooting opportunity on the wing through a semi-circular run, hit a much-needed three-pointer for the Nets.

The semi-circular run, also known as the arc run, is a necessary skill for most shooters in the NBA to survive.

The characteristic of this run is that the player will generally run along the baseline first, and then run along the three-point line.

It is named because the entire running route looks like a crescent moon.

As one of the top off-ball players of this era, although Kittles' fame cannot be compared with Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, and others, even the always alert Su Feng was bitten by this damn "mosquito" on this play.

Su Feng found that Kittles was very good at using his teammates to "guide the line of sight" of his opponents when running.

That's right, you read that right, it's that "line of sight guidance" that appeared in a certain superpower comic.

In fact, the so-called "line of sight guidance" is not something incredible.

Because there are blind spots in human vision, as long as you can make reasonable use of the defender's blind spots, it is not difficult for professional players to achieve a brief disappearance like Kuroko.

Of course, some of the more crooked parts in that superpower comic are very nonsense.

In short, Kittles is a player who is very good at exploiting loopholes.

Especially when the Raptors are playing pseudo-zone defense.

Because no matter how pseudo the pseudo-zone defense is, its essence is still zone defense. Therefore, in order to increase the defensive coverage area, whether it is Carter or Su Feng, they will not only stare at the players they are responsible for defending.

In this way, players like Kittles have an opportunity to take advantage of.

To be honest, although many players in this "illiterate alliance" are very stupid in their daily lives, their ability to read the game on the basketball court is better than the other.

After Francis returned to the court, because Nash's defense was almost zero, the Raptors could no longer play man-to-man defense.

Therefore, you know what, the Nets are really lucky in their stupidity.

A coach like Cahill actually made a response that was no less than Davis' by chance.

On the court, the Raptors attacked.

As everyone knows, not being able to defend has never been something the Raptors need to consider.

Because offense is the best defense for this Raptors team.

At the high post, Francis, who had only rested on the bench for less than two minutes, suddenly ran into Su Feng's wall.

Nash took the opportunity to break into the paint and gave Ben a pie that Ben couldn't spit out even if he wanted to.

Bang!

Ben slammed the dunk home, 39-34.

Back on the Nets' offense, Francis stared at the Raptors' pseudo-zone defense and forced his way in. As a result, under Su Feng's interference, Francis' layup missed the basket.

It has to be said that in 2000, the court space in the NBA was really very "narrow".

Because the rules are very different from the future, the paint is nothing short of a nightmare for penetrators at this time.

Therefore, even a top penetrator like Francis will inevitably see his efficiency drop after the Raptors set up a pseudo-zone defense.

And because the rules are different, the stars at this time generally tend to cultivate one or two special skills, rather than completely relying on their physical qualities to go one-on-one.

Even an iron-headed fool like Glenn Robinson is actually a small forward with quite comprehensive skills.

It's just a pity that with the change of versions, many special skills that were popular in this era may not be so effective when the next version arrives.

Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, fans don't need to favor the past over the present, or favor the present over the past.

Because each generation has its own god, and each generation...

Pull-up jumpers are always gods.

On the court, after his teammates helped him ease up, Su Feng successfully continued his scoring run.

A delicate tactical fadeaway.

There are no beautiful legs of those girls in the live broadcast.

But it is so intoxicating.

Off the court, influenced by Su Feng, Britney, who has become increasingly concerned about the NBA recently, finally knows why Su Feng is so popular.

Because...

After making a shot, Su Feng's slightly melancholy temperament is just like a prince charming who walked out of a fairy tale.

And that elegant shooting action, once you see it, you will never forget it.

In addition to that muscular physique and neat short hair...

In front of the TV, at this moment, who knows how many girls are shouting in their hearts:

Ah Wei is dead!

As the saying goes, whether you make the shot or not is temporary, but being handsome is for a lifetime.

Off the court, after noticing that Su Feng had once again made the fans at the Prairie Arena defect, Pierce, who was still panting heavily, couldn't sit still.

Because as a player who is not very good-looking, Pierce just can't stand people like Su Feng showing off in front of him.

On the court, taking advantage of Francis' pass being cut out of bounds by Old Curry, the strong Pierce once again appeared in front of Su Feng.

"Even your so-called 'Truth' doesn't work here!" Pierce, who had recovered a bit of his energy, said to Su Feng confidently.

Hearing this, Su Feng almost died from Pierce's words.

Damn Shaq!

Why did you give me that nickname?

How will you ever let Pierce mix in this martial world in the future?

"Alas, I am really a sinful person."

Looking at the relationship chart that he had completely disrupted in this life, Su Feng silently sighed.

……

In the second quarter, with Francis being restrained by the Raptors' pseudo-zone defense, many fans in front of the TV felt that the Raptors' familiar burst was about to come.

However, the Nets' overall condition tonight was indeed better than the Raptors'...

And at the end of the first half, Su Feng felt that he had quietly opened Pandora's box.

Because in the second quarter, when the Raptors desperately defended the paint, the Nets actually relied on three-pointers to catch up, can you believe it?

This season, judging from the average number of three-point attempts by each team, most teams have more three-point attempts per game than Su Feng remembers, except for some teams that stick to tradition.

As everyone knows, the offensive space in the NBA in the future will become larger and larger. In addition to being related to the change of versions, it is also related to the fact that players' shooting skills are becoming more and more refined.

Take the big cannon as an example.

In 2000, big guys who could shoot three-pointers were basically rare.

But when it comes to the future, among the inside players, if you don't know how to shoot a three-pointer, you will even be embarrassed to go out.

But this life...

After the Raptors proved their way to success with three-pointers last year, now, more and more teams have begun to work hard on three-point tactics.

And although, due to the game version, the benefits of three-pointers now are far less than in the future, it is obvious that the story of pseudo-zone defense dominating the world is already a thing of the past.

After the first half of the game, 59-55, with Su Feng scoring 36 points in the half, the Raptors only led the Nets by 4 points.

In the entire first half, the Raptors made a total of 7 three-pointers, while their opponents, the Nets, made as many as 9.

So, during the intermission, Davis, who felt that the battle tonight was "very dangerous", had to use his ultimate move.

Facts have proved that although history has no ifs and buts...

But based on Carter and McGrady's performance tonight, if Davis had believed D'Antoni's evil in the first quarter, it is very likely that the Raptors would have been defeated by this aggressive Nets team.

In the locker room, after pressing Su Feng's shoulder hard, Davis said affectionately to Su Feng: "Su... we have to rely on you!"

Hearing this, Su Feng naturally nodded without hesitation.

Of course, just like in the first quarter, Nash didn't understand why he listened to Su Feng so much. After hearing the conversation between Davis and Su Feng, Carter still couldn't understand...

We were clearly relying on Su Feng to play in the first half...

Why did the coach have to go the extra mile?

Fortunately, after McGrady pointed to his first-half stats, Carter, who knew he was not qualified to speak tonight, did not say what he really thought.

Otherwise...

Maybe after tonight, Carter would have to find a way to swim back to Toronto by himself.

"Phew..."

After the intermission, Su Feng, looking up at the dome of the Prairie Arena, felt that this era was becoming more and more interesting, and suddenly clenched his fists.

It's still that sentence.

What does the future flood matter to Su Feng now?

Seizing the present is the real kingly way.

In the third quarter, Su Feng showed his attitude as soon as he came up.

Facing the double team of Pierce and Kittles, Su Feng forcibly twisted his waist and turned over on the wing.

Swish!

Although tonight, Su Feng has lost at least 10 billion in iron-making value.

But in order to stop the loss in time, in Su Feng's opinion, he must also play a game worthy of his loss!

"There's no way, who told me that my shooting is too accurate?"

On the court, looking at Pierce complaining to him that "this can go in", Su Feng spread his hands slowly and said to him helplessly.
