Silently Writing
Chapter 234 Su Feng, Who Exploded in Madison
"Su was indeed affected by those comments."
In Los Angeles, because there was no game today, Kobe, who was very concerned about Su Feng, turned on the TV early in the morning, secretly watching this "epic dialogue" between the 76ers and the Knicks.
For Kobe, who knew Su Feng's personality well, he felt that Su Feng must have been criticized by those famous coaches for playing too "selfishly," so his mentality had changed somewhat.
Kobe knew that Su Feng was just being stubborn, deliberately playing "selfish" for everyone to see...
Logically speaking, if Su Feng knew what Kobe was thinking at this moment, then for Su Feng, who had seen countless "black technology" jokes in his previous life...
He would definitely have the illusion that he was Kobe, and Kobe was "Su Feng"...
To be honest, Su Feng really didn't want to shoot like Kobe, leaving Kobe with no iron to shoot in the future.
The key was that with Brown, such an excellent coach...
Plus that group of defensive tools who got excited at the mention of defense, but whose legs turned to jelly at the mention of offense...
If Su Feng didn't take the initiative, then he and this 76ers team would be rubbed back and forth on the floor.
Madison Square Garden, at the end of the timeout, Brown originally wanted to say something to Su Feng, but after noticing Su Feng's "aloof" expression, Brown felt that he still had to be a little more patient and give Su Feng more "love."
And on the Knicks' side, after the timeout, Van Gundy, the little genius, brought "Grandmama" up.
Um... his purpose in putting Johnson on was not to have "Grandmama" sell his butt.
But in his opinion, since Johnson was able to limit Su Feng to 1-for-10 shooting in the first quarter, then at this moment, when he hadn't figured out why the 76ers had opened up the score, "Grandmama" should be able to stop Su Feng.
People all say that Van Gundy doesn't understand "flexibility," but look, Van Gundy's substitution tonight is really...
Wonderful.
Of course, this wonderfulness is for Su Feng, not Johnson...
In fact, under Brown's "excellent offensive system," you could call Su Feng a "Mini Encyclopedia of Offense" right now.
Johnson's weight destined him to never be able to keep up with Su Feng's first step. Therefore, Su Feng's inaccuracy in the first quarter was purely the fault of quantum mechanics.
On the court, the timeout ended, the Knicks attacked, and "Grandmama," who had been cultivated by Van Gundy into a spectator mentality, just stood quietly on the wing, not moving at all.
Then, Van Gundy's own son, Ward, went on a rampage.
In Su Feng's previous life, don't blame Director Zhang for always shouting to give the ball to Yao Ming.
Because if you've watched the games of the Yao-McGrady era, you'll know that Van Gundy's several own sons at the time could really make your stomach cramp.
Before the Chinese market had fully opened up, what convinced these NBA stars about Yao was his super-strong low-post scoring ability, right?
The Knicks' substitute guard, McGee, was far superior to Ward in physical fitness. This ball, he stuck close to Ward, no matter how Ward displayed his "super dribbling," McGee remained unmoved.
In this way, with little time left on the shot clock, Ward decisively threw the ball to "Grandmama," who was watching the show on the wing.
Johnson: "..."
Look, isn't Johnson a negative example?
With 4 seconds left on the shot clock, even if you gave "Grandmama" wings, he wouldn't be able to fly into the 76ers' interior.
Moreover, this season, after Su Feng gained weight, it would still take Johnson some time to break through Su Feng.
Helplessly, Johnson had to force a turnaround jumper at the high post.
As a result, the basketball, like a rainbow, took a photo with the 76ers' basket...
Beep!
"Grandmama" shot an air ball, and the Knicks committed a 24-second violation.
On the 76ers' bench, Larry Brown was even happier than when Su Feng made the game-winning shot against the Celtics before.
Defend, defend like crazy, it's best to hold the Knicks to under 80 points tonight, no, under 70 points!
On the Knicks' bench, Van Gundy began to frown.
He decided that if the Knicks still couldn't score after a few more possessions, then he would put Ewing in and let Ewing use his Empire State Building roar to sanction the 76ers.
On the court, the 76ers attacked.
McGee, who averaged 3.3 points per game this season, was responsible for dribbling the ball across the half-court.
And Williams, who averaged 3.1 points per game, and Cummings, who averaged 4 points per game, were already preparing to screen for Su Feng.
As for Waters, who averaged 1.8 points per game...
Sigh!
His greatest help to Su Feng was to stand at the corner on offense, using his non-existent corner three-pointer to contain the Knicks' defense.
In front of the TV, Kobe frowned.
Because if he remembered correctly, if Su Feng chose to come on his own again, that would be his 15th shot of the game...
15 shots, you know, Kobe's average number of shots this season was only 15.4...
Moreover, in these 15.4 shots, some unreasonable offenses, in Kobe's view, were worth discussing.
"Why is Su so stubborn?" Kobe asked with a small question mark.
Madison Square Garden, Su Feng, who was as stubborn as an ox, raised a finger this time, signaling McGee to run play number one.
On the Knicks' bench, Van Gundy was immediately on high alert.
In Van Gundy's memory, this season, Su Feng had raised two, three, four, five fingers...
But this was the first time he had only raised one finger!
Swallowing his saliva, Van Gundy wiped the sweat from his forehead and quietly waited for the 76ers to launch their play number one.
"Believe in yourself, Jeff!"
Van Gundy, who was very confident in his defensive skills, firmly believed that as long as the 76ers gave him a few more chances, he would definitely be able to figure out the 76ers' play number one.
On the court, on the left side at a 45-degree angle, Su Feng caught the "wok" that McGee passed to him with one hand.
"Grandmama," who was responsible for guarding Su Feng, saw that Su Feng didn't intend to take him for a walk this time, and immediately set up his defensive stance with vigor.
Come on, "Melo Boy," a real man has to face it head-on!
However, the moment Su Feng completed his post-up move, he suddenly swept past Johnson like a tornado.
This was Su Feng's recreation of the "washing machine-style spin" using his powerful explosiveness!
The young hero Su, who was going further and further down the road of being a one-on-one king, had recently become more and more detailed in his one-on-one skills.
His move to prepare to hard-carve Johnson just now even deceived his teammates.
Last season, when he was responsible for guarding Jordan, Su Feng discovered that Jordan was unmatched in the fine details in the current league.
Although Su Feng couldn't do as much as the "Old Rogue," where even his body hair was a feint, under Brown, who used "bully-ball tactics" to dominate the NBA, his speed of progress was also quite terrifying!
Su Feng, who had turned into the attack range, made a light pick!
27 to 18.
On TNT, Smith said with emotion: "Su is now the 'essence of the triple threat'!"
In the state of holding the ball in a triple threat, who knows how much emotion Su Feng has deceived from Johnson tonight?
Turning around, the Knicks' offense finally scored.
Chris Mills received a pass from Ward and scored on a cut layup.
The 76ers' second unit didn't have strong interior deterrence. In fact, as long as Van Gundy, the driver, turned a corner slightly, this Knicks luxury fleet wouldn't always crash into icebergs.
This season, Houston has been completely transformed into a "mid-range king" by Van Gundy. In the new season, Houston takes nearly 7 long two-pointers per game. Do you know what his shooting percentage is?
The answer is: 47.8%.
How outrageous is this efficiency?
But here's the problem: if Houston took a small half-step back on each of these 7 long two-pointers per game...
Then what would his efficiency be like?
And can't Houston really shoot three-pointers?
In Su Feng's previous life, Allan Houston had a three-point shooting percentage of over 40% in his career. Therefore, in reality...
It's not that there haven't been men who could "dominate the heavens" in the NBA early on.
It's just that limited by the era, rules, and tactical concepts, Houston unfortunately brushed shoulders with dominating the heavens.
Because if you said that Houston was an offensive style like Su Feng's, then that would be fine. After all, for an offensive style like Su Feng's, long two-pointers must be shot.
But Van Gundy has drawn so many plays for Houston, why... hasn't he ever thought that 40% from three-point range would be far more efficient than 50% from two-point range?
How silly Van Gundy is now is how much he will want to travel back and beat himself to death when he becomes a commentator in the future.
In the second quarter, relying on Su Feng's wave of explosion in the early stages, the 76ers led the Knicks by 7 points, 43 to 36, before the end of the first half.
Su Feng, who scored 27 points in the first half, also created a new high in his career for points in a half.
Feeling the output environment of Iverson in his previous life, don't mention it, if the 76ers can win this game, then Su Feng's shot value after the game will really go to heaven.
Therefore, tired as he was, exhausted as he was, after the halftime break, as soon as the third quarter began, Su Feng continued his crazy one-on-one play that Kobe found disgustingly selfish.
And Van Gundy, who couldn't turn the corner on offense, was still driving quite steadily on defense.
In the second quarter, after "Grandmama" was tortured to the point of ecstasy by Su Feng, in the third quarter, Van Gundy finally switched to using Houston to defend Su Feng.
Houston was similar in height to Su Feng, and slightly lighter in weight than Su Feng. With the help of the handcheck rule, Houston came up and defended Su Feng, forcing him to miss four shots in a row.
On the offensive end, "Fifth Center" Ewing also frequently scored on Ratliff in one-on-one situations.
Sad as it was, tragic as it was, once this "Gorilla's" rabbit bounce was accurate, it was also very troublesome.
After the Knicks gradually caught up, the game once again returned to a back-and-forth, physical battle...
Su Feng didn't break his new scoring drought until there were 6 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, through a hip offense in the low post.
As an increasingly mature "One-on-One King," Su Feng certainly knew that he had a greater advantage in the low post against Houston.
But in a basketball game, if it was so easy to get into the low post, then that fathead fish wouldn't have been blocked by the Jazz outside the door of the Western Conference Finals last season.
Positioning and posting up are also details on the court that are easily overlooked by fans.
This Knicks' pseudo-zone defense is interlocked, and once they fall into a set position, even the Bulls are no match for them.
In Su Feng's previous life, in the 96/97 season, the Knicks and the Bulls played very tightly in the regular season.
And in the 97/98 season, even with Ewing out for the season, the Bulls were dragged into a hard fight by the Knicks.
On the court, after switching to Houston to defend him, it was difficult for Su Feng to attack like he had shaken off Johnson, and coupled with the decline in physical fitness, his efficiency also decreased.
But fortunately, the biggest characteristic of the teams coached by Van Gundy is that the further they go in the game, the more suffocating their offense becomes.
Van Gundy, blinded by Ewing's super-high shooting percentage at the start of the third quarter, began to overplay this gorilla again.
As a result, Ewing launched one airplane after another, making Big Ben very happy.
Tonight, please call him Ben - who unknowingly grabbed 20 rebounds - Wallace.
It would be really surprising if arrogant New York fans could accept such a game.
Fortunately, whenever New Yorkers fall into despair, there are always visiting players who stand up and wake them up.
Su Feng, who had thrown the kdA to the back of his mind, took a breath and made his fifth three-pointer of the night with 4 minutes and 15 seconds left in the third quarter.
On the basketball court, the situation of the game can be described as changing rapidly.
Breakthrough, fadeaway, mid-range shot, three-pointer...
Only by mastering all eighteen martial arts skills can you be truly unpredictable.
And for Su Feng, who is good at Middle Eastern-style breakthroughs, has developed a Maple's Schrodinger's fadeaway, and also has super-difficult pull-ups and reckless three-pointers, he is the kind of player who is unpredictable!
Many people may not understand what Su Feng is like now.
Generally speaking, we would call someone like Su Feng an "Iron Block"!
"Oh ho ho, Su has already scored 32 points tonight. Will he score 40 points, or even 50 points?" Smith commented on TNT.
In this era where defense is valued and a shooting percentage of over 40% is considered excellent, how could Riley and Karl not be tempted by someone like Su Feng?
How many times have these two been beaten by Jordan? That's how much they love Su Feng.
Not enough internal strength?
It doesn't matter.
Internal strength itself takes time to cultivate.
But only this external strength is not something that everyone can learn.
If Leonard only had the wingspan of Griffin's level, do you think his mid-range shot would be so intimidating?
Madison Square Garden, after Oakley failed to post up his little brother Big Ben, Big Ben, who grabbed his 21st rebound of the night, excitedly passed the ball to Su Feng while frantically rushing towards the Knicks' paint.
The more iron there is, the stronger the shadow!
Second-year Big Ben, with his sturdy and 10-centimeter-high explosive head, silently escorted Su Feng!
It doesn't matter if one of the Philadelphia Iron Triangle is lame.
As long as the light and shadow are still there, they can run rampant.
After dribbling to the three-point line, Su Feng, who deliberately paused, looked at Houston, who had taken two steps back due to inertia when retreating, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He had said it so many times, even if Larry Brown exploded on the spot, he, Su Feng, would never compromise because of Brown's tactics.
For Su Feng, who had experience in shooting Jordan, if he didn't take this open three-pointer on the fast break, then you couldn't expect him to always shoot opponents in the face, right?
Step, hang in the air, flick the wrist!
Swish————!
66 to 61!
Su Feng shot down his 35th point of the night!
While retreating, looking at Big Ben, who felt like he had run for nothing, Su Feng patted him on the shoulder and smiled:
"Ben, how many times have I told you, my three-pointers won't have rebounds."
And aside, after making a "surprised" expression, Big Ben secretly turned his head to the other side.
I believed your evil!
However, although that's what he thought in his heart, Big Ben still acted very well on the outside.
"I shouldn't have followed you on the fast break, because your shooting is too accurate, Su," Big Ben said to Su Feng in a "well-behaved and sensible" manner.
…
"Lily... aren't the 76ers the visiting team?
Why are the Knicks fans cheering for the 76ers?" Britney asked with confusion from her courtside seat.
"How would I know? My dear princess, in fact, this is also the first time I've come to watch the NBA live," Lily spread her hands and said.
"Oh, damn, didn't you tell me before that you and Tom often played basketball and watched the NBA together?" Britney felt that she had been deceived by her best friend at least three times tonight.
"That... that's different," Lily said.
"What's different?" Britney frowned.
"You... you go get a boyfriend, and you'll understand," Lily said.
Britney: "..."
Well, even without getting a boyfriend, Britney roughly knew what Lily meant by playing basketball and watching the NBA.
On the court, Ewing, who had been overworked by Van Gundy to the point of kidney failure and desperately needed a shot of adrenaline, dumped the blame on "Grandmama" this time.
Fortunately, the latter relied on his fat butt and managed to score in the paint.
66 to 63.
Johnson, whose actual height was only 190 centimeters in Su Feng's opinion, was also an oddity on the court.
In Su Feng's previous life, don't think that Van Gundy didn't know how to use Johnson, but in the future, it was this tough guy, who had earned the nickname of playing Grandmama in drag in his early years, who saved Van Gundy countless times.
But it was also strange, even though Johnson had carried the team many times after Ewing was injured, Van Gundy would forget about Johnson again after Ewing returned...
Compared to "Grandmama," Su Feng was undoubtedly lucky.
Because there was no such thing as compromise in Su Feng's way of basketball.
Madison Square Garden, Houston was sticking close to Su Feng this time, but at the moment when this mid-range king locked him down, Su Feng showed his amazing starting ability.
Like the wind, he broke into the Knicks' interior from his left side, Houston's right hand.
Oakley, who was somewhat wary of Su Feng's ghostly steps, didn't dare to kill Su Feng immediately, while Ewing, whose knees were exhausted, suddenly dilated his pupils!
Don't come over!
Although Britney really didn't understand basketball, she couldn't help but be attracted by this shocking scene while chatting with her best friend.
Facts have proved that attacking the "Gorilla" from the top of the Empire State Building with a plane is not the only way.
Exert force, jump, who says the Empire State Building can't be split?
Ewing, who couldn't jump anymore, had no power to resist at this moment.
On TNT, Smith shouted with open arms: "Su... has dunked on Patrick again!"
…
