Silently Writing

Chapter 355 Double Happiness and a Life Mentor of an Era

  It has to be said that although many young fans may think that the so-called youth mentioned by old fans is about hating Pippen and Su Feng at first glance...

  But in fact, if you look at it from a defensive point of view, the quality of this PK between Su Feng and Pippen tonight is definitely a top-notch contest of this era.

  You know, when encountering these two ultimate defensive monsters...

  Ordinary people, let alone missing shots, often find it impossible to even attempt a shot in front of these two.

  It's just a pity...

  Compared to the Pippen who could chase him for four quarters back then, the current Pippen is indeed old.

  At the Rose Garden Arena, after dueling with Pippen for several consecutive possessions, Su Feng, who was physically strong, quickly took the initiative in this round of PK.

  Using his speed advantage, Su Feng repeatedly penetrated the inside and scored.

  Of course, for Pippen, who has rich experience in getting beat up...

  Giving up is impossible.

  After all, there are so many eyes on him tonight...

  Even if he breaks his legs, he has to go head-to-head with Su Feng!

  So, after suffering a few hidden losses, Pippen decisively adopted a defensive retreat strategy to deal with Su Feng.

  Break through!

  If you have the ability, then break through again, Su thief!

  On the court, watching Su Feng preparing to single him out on the wing again, Pippen only hated the fact that he didn't have a broadsword in his hand at this moment...

  Otherwise, he would have rushed forward and given Su Feng a dozen cuts.

  Because only God knows how tormented he has been by Su Feng tonight.

  To be reasonable, even the crazy Jordan back then...

  In Pippen's opinion, he would never do such a thing as continuously beating up an old man for several possessions in a row.

  (Jordan: Brother, you might have a slight misunderstanding of me.)

  Ahem, let's get back to the main topic.

  On the court, just as Pippen adopted a defensive retreat strategy, Su Feng also unhesitatingly dribbled the ball back a step.

  At this time, Pippen, after thinking for 0.1 seconds, did not choose to follow up.

  Because after being broken through by Su Feng for several consecutive possessions, he already had a certain psychological shadow about Su Feng's exaggerated speed.

  But...

  Pippen, are you sure you really don't want to come out?

  Pippen: No, I'm not coming out, only a turtle would...

  Not coming out my ass!

  On the wing, after seeing Su Feng's feet leave the ground, Pippen, who had been tormented to the point of ecstasy by Su Feng, finally realized that although Su Feng and Jordan have many similarities, the biggest difference between these two is that...

  This guy Su Feng will snipe!

  However, because of his previous hesitation, when Pippen got close to Su Feng, the basketball had already left Su Feng's shooting hand with a perfect arc.

  Swish!

  Pippen: "..."

  47 to 32, on the court, after Su Feng made this three-pointer, the Raptors' lead tonight had reached 15 points.

  And it is worth mentioning that after this headshot snipe...

  In Su Feng's mind, he received another system prompt tonight.

  "Ding————!

  Congratulations to the host for completing the upgrade conditions for the Sharpshooter badge...

  The Sharpshooter badge has now been upgraded to Silver level."

  Oh?

  Does this mean that he, who was preparing to be a green leaf for Jermaine O'Neal tonight, actually has such a double blessing?

  On the court, when retreating on defense, like when he obtained the Pocket badge before, because he was in the middle of the game, Su Feng did not choose to check the system immediately...

  However, as the most bug-like badge in his existing badge collection, Su Feng remembers the upgrade bonus of the Sharpshooter badge very clearly.

  Su Feng remembers that each upgrade of Sharpshooter grants him a 5% bonus to his all-area shooting stability.

  And this is also the key to rewriting the weakness of two-motion shooting, which has poor long-range shooting stability in the future...

  That irreversible destiny.

  In simple terms, Su Feng is now one step closer to his long and arduous journey to become a god.

  In addition, if Su Feng remembers correctly, the upgrade condition for the first stage of the Sharpshooter badge should be that he has to make 666 three-pointers in NBA games (excluding preseason and playoffs), so...

  This three-pointer he just made is also the 666th three-pointer of his personal career.

  So now the question is.

  Before retiring, will Su Feng be able to leave his future great-nephew Stephen Curry a three-point record in this life that he can't break even with cheats?

  "Tsk...

  Why think so much?"

  As an open and honest senior, Su Feng is very clear...

  In competitive sports, unless the sport of basketball disappears tomorrow, even if he creates more records, there will be talented people who will come out to break them in the future.

  Therefore, he will not be the kind of "hooligan" who stares at the records of his predecessors all day long and constantly educates the young juniors.

  In Su Feng's opinion, if Curry really has the opportunity to threaten his records in the three-point field in the future...

  Then at worst...

  He will learn from Carter and play with Curry for a few more years.

  The camera returns to the Rose Garden Arena.

  On the court, the Trail Blazers were on the attack. Stoudemire, who had just been sent up by old Dunleavy to support Pippen, hadn't even warmed up yet, and was given a Sichuan-style hot pot by Su Feng.

  Limited by his actual height of around 175cm, Stoudemire's field goal percentage in the paint throughout his career can only be described as miserable.

  Because he doesn't have the speed and bounce of Iverson, small guards like Stoudemire are simply the favorites of NBA shot-blocking masters.

  In his previous life, Su Feng always felt that this Trail Blazers team had found the wrong helmsman.

  Because Stoudemire's characteristics are very incompatible with this Trail Blazers team.

  First of all, Stoudemire is not a traditional point guard. He is good at relying on pick-and-roll shots to finish, and he is more like a future scoring guard like Isaiah Thomas.

  Secondly, Stoudemire's defense, in a sense, can also be simply understood as giving it away for free.

  Therefore, based on the luxurious level of this Trail Blazers' frontcourt and backcourt lines, Su Feng really can't figure it out...

  How did Paul Allen get tricked by the team's management into offering Stoudemire a multi-million dollar annual salary?

  To be honest, based on the strength of this Trail Blazers' frontcourt and backcourt lines, you might as well replace him with Van Gundy's own son, Ward, who would be more effective than Stoudemire.

  Could it be that they are really just rich and stupid?

  Well, the world of the rich, for Su Feng, who is from a "poor family," he really can't understand it.

  Swish!

  On the court, taking advantage of his hot hand, Su Feng made another three-pointer on the fast break.

  Although the process of farming missed shots is very happy, you must know that Su Feng's purpose of farming missed shots is also to become stronger, so, at this moment...

  What else can Su Feng do besides lamenting that his shooting is too accurate?

  50 to 32.

  On the sidelines, seeing that the Trail Blazers were about to be taken away by the Raptors in one wave, old Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout.

  And after this timeout, the Raptors also switched back to tonight's protagonist:

  Jermaine O'Neal.

  And now, old Dunleavy, who had originally told his players during the timeout to decisively help Pippen double-team Su Feng, was completely dumbfounded.

  Because how could he have imagined that the Raptors tonight were really playing with Jermaine O'Neal as the core?

  No...

  Although old Dunleavy did trick Davis in the summer, saying that Jermaine O'Neal had the potential to become an All-Star player...

  But the growth rate of your player...

  In old Dunleavy's opinion, shouldn't there be at least a "Basic Law of Player Growth"?

  How could Jermaine O'Neal become so strong after only one summer?

  Could it be that Davis really has a legendary cheat that can directly modify the abilities of the players on the team he coaches?

  On the Trail Blazers' bench, old Dunleavy felt that he was gradually beginning to not understand this world.

  And on the Raptors' bench, the way D'Antoni and Rivers looked at Davis at this moment was no different from Jason and Rick before.

  For a coach, being able to coach a top-tier team is certainly a great blessing in life...

  But turning stone into gold and turning trash into treasure is also the coaching dream of every coach.

  And if both of these are true...

  Admiration!

  Besides admiration, D'Antoni and Rivers couldn't find any adjectives to describe their admiration for Davis.

  "Jermaine has played exceptionally well tonight.

  On both offense and defense, he has blown up Rasheed Wallace, who is matching up against him.

  Seriously, I really don't understand why the Trail Blazers have always been unwilling to give him a chance." Smith asked with a puzzled look on TNT TV.

  And sharing the same confusion as Smith were also the Trail Blazers' home fans tonight.

  Because in the memory of the Trail Blazers' fans, the Jermaine O'Neal in their minds wasn't this capable...

  How did this guy become like a different person when he got to the Raptors?

  To be reasonable, this is not only a visible improvement in strength, but also Jermaine O'Neal's personality, which everyone feels is much tougher than before.

  And originally...

  When the Trail Blazers, who had complained that the Raptors could only find weak chickens like Nash to fill the team's gaps, got Stoudemire from the Raptors...

  After watching tonight's second quarter, they couldn't laugh at all at this time.

  Because in the second quarter, with Nash playing the entire quarter, even those fans on TV who didn't understand basketball very well had a feeling...

  A feeling called why Stoudemire is so vulnerable.

  At the end of the first half, 66 to 45, the Raptors entered the second half with a 21-point lead.

  In the first half, Jermaine O'Neal had a total of 23 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, while Nash contributed 4 points and 7 assists.

  As for the Trail Blazers...

  The fans couldn't even bear to look at the stats of Wallace and Stoudemire.

  Because the former was 0 for 3 tonight, scoring only 2 points and 3 rebounds on free throws.

  And the latter was 1 for 5, scoring only 3 points and 3 assists.

  No cap, this isn't just blowing them up...

  This is simply crushing them!

  Those experts and reporters who praised Wallace for making great progress this season and said that he deserved an All-Star spot, now regretted what they had said in the first place.

  Because if Wallace deserves to be an All-Star, then what should they say about Jermaine O'Neal, who blew him up tonight?

  Although the NBA doesn't care about one game, sometimes, this kind of impression flow is the most memorable for fans.

  After all, even the most devout NBA fans can only remember a few games after watching an entire season of NBA games.

  Therefore, after the end of the first half of this game, if you were to ask the Trail Blazers' fans what they wanted to do most...

  Then the thing they would probably want to do most is to ask the team's management how much kickbacks they have taken in the past two years.

  And it is worth mentioning that during the halftime break, in order to explore the mystery of Jermaine O'Neal's becoming stronger...

  The host specially kept him and asked, "Jermaine, we have all seen you make great progress this season.

  Now can you please share with us how you did all this?"

  Hearing this, Jermaine O'Neal, who was in high spirits tonight, touched his shiny bald head and replied without hesitation, "I think my progress is inseparable from the encouragement and trust of my teammates and coaches.

  Especially Su and John.

  When I first joined the Raptors, they told me that I was an indispensable member of this team.

  In addition, Su also gave me a lot of technical guidance in the summer.

  In my opinion, although Su is very young, he is far more experienced than the average young player.

  And he is also very selfless.

  For example, after Kobe loses a one-on-one to him, he will not only not refuse Kobe's next one-on-one, but he will also take the initiative to tell Kobe what Kobe's problem is.

  Seriously, before joining the Raptors, I had never seen a man with such a broad mind like Su.

  During training, Su often said to me:

  If you choose to give up at this moment, you will have nothing, and if you choose to continue, then even if the opportunity is slim, you have a chance to win.

  Therefore, I think there is a reason why he was able to lead the 76ers to complete the black eight against the Bulls in his rookie season.

  Of course, in addition to learning a lot from Su, Coach John also gave me a lot of encouragement.

  In my eyes, Coach John is more like a loving father.

  Because he will not only teach you how to play basketball, but he will also teach you a lot about how to be a person.

  Before, many people said that Coach John was successful because of Su and Michael.

  But as far as I know, no one in the Raptors has such thoughts.

  Because he is the godfather of all of us, the best coach in the world, bar none."

  At the Rose Garden Arena, after hearing Jermaine O'Neal's answer, the fans in front of the TV and the commentators in the commentary booth didn't know whether they cried or not, anyway...

  In the Raptors' locker room, Carter was about to be beaten to tears by Su Feng.

  Because listen carefully!

  What is emotional intelligence?

  This is emotional intelligence!

  Seriously, if Carter had half of Jermaine O'Neal's emotional intelligence, then Su Feng wouldn't have beaten him so hard when he beat him.

  But oh well...

  If Carter really had Jermaine O'Neal's emotional intelligence, then in his previous life, this guy would have probably turned the nickname of half-man, half-god into the new god of the NBA.

  Sigh...

  You say, where does the NBA world get so much fighting and killing?

  In fact, many times, in addition to your own strength, whether you can get the recognition of this world for your status is the real key.

  Just like many new generation players in the league in the future don't like Jordan.

  Are you saying that these players have a problem with their values?

  Then you probably don't know how many stupid things boss Qiao did that offended people after returning his IQ and EQ to God.

  At the Rose Garden Arena, after halftime, Jermaine O'Neal did not stop his heart-wrenching journey tonight.

  And in the third quarter, Wallace, who had a bad temper, was annoyed by the endless pick-and-rolls on both offense and defense, and soon received two technical fouls in a row and left the court to vent his anger.

  Tonight, if Pippen only suffered physical torment from Su Feng, and Stoudemire was just a little anxious...

  Then God knows how much Rasheed Wallace silently endured behind his back!

  On defense, facing the Raptors' endless pick-and-rolls, there were a few moments when Wallace really wanted to tear open the damn wall of people in front of him and kick Jermaine O'Neal in the chest.

  And on offense, Wallace was even more uncomfortable.

  Because as soon as he got the ball, the Raptors would double-team him, not giving him a chance to play Answer Ball at all.

  And if you use a League of Legends game term to describe Wallace's mood tonight...

  Then you can probably understand it as:

  It was said that it was a one-on-one top lane true man battle, how did it suddenly become a gangbang?

  For Wallace, who already had a bad temper, how could he endure this?

  However, even if he can't endure it, so what?

  Fight with Jermaine O'Neal?

  He's not afraid of this guy.

  But the key is that there is a wrestling expert sitting on the Raptors' bench who can overturn O'Neal with one arm.

  In addition, they also have two masters on the court who are constantly looking for Oakley and Barkley to fight.

  Therefore, Wallace could only vent his anger on the referees.

  It's just a pity...

  One of the three referees tonight, Crawford, was not an easy person to deal with either.

  As the existence who fined Duncan for just smiling slightly on the bench in the future, for a child like Wallace who doesn't understand things, it was impossible for Crawford to reconcile with him.

  So, when the first technical foul warning was unsuccessful, Crawford gave Wallace a second technical foul without thinking.

  "Wow, this guy is not very good at playing basketball, but he has a big temper." On CCTV, when Wallace was ejected from the court, Zhang Zhida couldn't help but complain.

  "Many people said before that Rasheed Wallace is a very individual player, but no matter how individual you are, you can't blame your poor performance on the referee." And Sun Zhida also echoed from the side.

  "Rasheed's performance tonight can be described as a disaster.

  Seriously, based on his performance in this game, if he is finally selected for this year's Western All-Star team roster, then I will be the first to raise both hands and feet in favor of Jermaine becoming the starting power forward for this year's Eastern All-Star team." Smith also complained on TNT TV.

  Okay...

  The "Madman" can be said to have used his strength to explain what it means to "lose the game and lose face" tonight.

  However, even if he "lost the game and lost face", Wallace at least served as a background board for Jermaine O'Neal tonight.

  Look...

  In the fourth quarter, when Ryder came off the bench, because the point difference between the two teams was too large, looking at the Raptors' substitutes who appeared in front of him...

  This former real hooligan who used to kick Jermaine O'Neal's butt every day, at this moment, where did he have any intention of playing basketball?

  And perhaps in order to prove his value...

  Ryder, who felt that he had been completely ignored, was sent on the court by old Dunleavy during garbage time...

  He, who was already in a bad mood, decisively chose a lazy strolling defense and a negative style of play of passing it to me, and I'll throw it randomly.

  Then...

  Then there was no then.

  Because after noticing that Ryder was only focused on messing around, old Dunleavy very decisively replaced him immediately this time.

  In old Dunleavy's words...

  Brother, do you think we haven't lost enough face tonight?

  Are you still embarrassing us?

  In the end, 119 to 95, the Raptors smoothly won the team's last game of 1999.

  In the whole game, Jermaine O'Neal, who experienced Su Feng's output environment for the first time in his life, scored the team's highest score, which was also a new career high of 36 points, plus 13 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks.

  And Su Feng, who was willing to be a green leaf, scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

  In addition, Nash also had 12 points and 12 assists.

  After the game, in an interview, Su Feng very humbly responded to Jermaine O'Neal's praise for him during the halftime break: "I feel flattered by Jermaine's evaluation.

  Because I didn't actually help him much, he was able to achieve today's achievements entirely because of his own efforts.

  As for helping Kobe, it's not as exaggerated as Jermaine said.

  Because when I was in high school, Kobe and I often studied basketball skills together, so there is no such thing as who taught who between Kobe and me.

  Maybe Kobe taught me more, or maybe I taught Kobe more, who knows?"

  Reporters: !!!

  Is this humble Su really the Su who dared to jump on the technical table and declare war on all of Chicago?

  To be honest, in the reporters' opinion, since going public with Britney, Su Feng has not only played better, but even his way of dealing with people has become more stable than before.

  Of course, the reporters would naturally not believe Su Feng's claim that he didn't teach Kobe anything.

  After all, according to multiple NBA insiders, Kobe has never won a one-on-one against Su Feng.

  In addition, even if Su Feng is humble, the reporters are not blind to the post-up moves that Kobe has used in NBA games this season.

  Sigh...

  Just like Kobe's post-up moves, which are almost exactly the same as yours, if it wasn't taught by you, Su Feng, could it be that he, Kobe, learned it by himself?
