Chapter 1 Duncan's Three Smiles Tease the King

[Duncan's Three Smiles Tease the King]:

Since you defeated Michael Jordan, more and more young players have begun to regard you as a role model.

Tim Duncan, a young player from the Celtics, is trying to challenge you. How will you choose to respond to him?

Choice 1: [Shut Him Up], you, who doesn't like to yap much, decide to speak with strength.

Task Requirement: Successfully dunk over Duncan once in the next game.

Task Completion Reward: Unknown.

Note: "Meteor Dunk" does not count.

Task 2: [Combine Kindness and Power], as a senior who is good at supporting juniors, you decide to treat others as "kindly" as Michael Jordan did.

Task Requirement: Lead the team to defeat the Celtics and say "The future is yours" to Duncan after the game.

Task Completion Reward: Unknown.

Note: Different task options will trigger different "lifelong missions," so please choose carefully, Host.

To be honest, Su Feng almost clicked on "Shut Him Up" when he saw those three words.

But...

When he noticed that the "Meteor Dunk" didn't count as a dunk, Su Feng really wanted to send an exclamation mark to the system.

He, Su Feng, earned his dunks fair and square. Why shouldn't they count?

Oh well, considering that this system has always been reasonably set, Su Feng won't nitpick with it.

However...

Different task choices will trigger different "lifelong missions"...

This setting reminded Su Feng of the [Beat Him Until He Submits] mission he had when he challenged McGrady back then.

In Su Feng's opinion, since it's a two-way choice, then, judging from the literal meaning, [Shut Him Up] should be a mission that will reduce Duncan's goodwill toward him.

And [Combine Kindness and Power] is obviously more in line with Su Feng's senior persona.

Hmm...

Hmm!

He, Su Feng, definitely doesn't want to choose Task 2 just because he thinks it's too difficult to dunk over Duncan, who still has super athletic ability.

He purely just wants to return that poisonous milk that Mutombo said to him last year to Duncan, the originator of this sentence.

You know, "The future is yours" is simply the NBA version of "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

Don't think that just because there are Einsteins and Newtons in reality, there is no metaphysics in real life...

Because in the field of sports, the coffin lid of science has been unable to suppress it more than once or twice.

So, on the way back to the locker room, Su Feng decisively chose Task 2.

Then...

Stackhouse, who was walking side by side with Su Feng, suffered.

Su Feng, who had just taken a sip of sports drink, directly sprayed the drink on Stackhouse's face.

Stackhouse: "..."

"The Host has been detected choosing [Combine Kindness and Power].

Ding——!

[War of Destiny] has been triggered!

[War of Destiny]: The ambitious you are trying to improve your strength while gradually dominating the NBA.

And as the Celtics' 'Pride of Heaven', how can Tim Duncan let you get your wish?

The [Nemesis Bond] between the Host and Duncan has been automatically activated. In the future, when the Host encounters Duncan's team, his bricklaying value will automatically double.

[War of Destiny] 5 Wins Reward: A Golden Destiny Gift Pack.

10 Wins Reward: ...

15 Wins Reward..."

For some reason, after carefully reading the setting of [War of Destiny], Su Feng felt that he could no longer look directly at Duncan.

Because even if Duncan is one of his favorite stars from his previous life...

But in Su Feng's eyes at this moment, Duncan is like the monster that Ultraman likes to fight the most, the fish that cats like to eat the most, and the chest-thumping that Garnett loves the most...

If Su Feng's fighting spirit was 120% before, then his current fighting spirit couldn't be stopped even by nine dragons.

And during the halftime break, looking at Su Feng, who was squeezed in the locker room with his teammates, with fire seeming to spew from his eyes, Brown confirmed it!

Su Feng is indeed the type of player who thrives in games!

Don't look at him usually being "sloppy" and "always late", but as long as he is on the court, he will immediately concentrate.

Ah! Hateful John Davis!

Brown swore to the sky that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely kick Davis' butt hard.

You said, if he could have guided Su Feng earlier, wouldn't Su Feng be the most perfect tool man in his Brown's mind?

…

After the halftime break, in the second half, the 76ers and Celtics switched sides and fought again.

From the perspective of the game, the scene of this game can be described as quite ugly...

In Su Feng's previous life, as long as the team was coached by Brown, the game would never be good-looking.

Unlike Van Gundy, who at least has a "clear offensive direction," Brown's offensive attainments are definitely negative.

But it's strange to say that the disciples taught by this guy are more and more fond of playing offensive basketball.

In the third quarter, after the physical strength of the two teams gradually declined, the Celtics fans at the North Shore Garden Arena were almost falling asleep.

Just like the dead bear is a good bear, the NBA in the 90s is worth remembering, but the NBA officials never want to see defensive basketball reappear.

And as the game deepened, Su Feng gradually snatched back the limelight that was stolen by Duncan.

Because on both offense and defense, his ubiquitous figure made Brown even forget to substitute him for a rest...

Easy to use and durable, although Su Feng's physical load is greater after gaining weight in the summer, because the rhythm of the game is relatively slow tonight, Su Feng's physical strength is very well preserved.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Celtics intentionally wanted to speed up in order to catch up with the score, but...

Honestly, in the third quarter, when he saw Brown pushing up his glasses again and again, Auerbach really wanted to throw a shoe at him.

Well, from the perspective of torturing opponents, Brown is undoubtedly successful tonight.

If you only look at the defense, the defense of this 76ers team is definitely not worse than the Pistons in the future.

"Teacher..." On the Celtics' bench, seeing the score difference on the court getting bigger and bigger, Karl looked at Auerbach for help.

"Child, calm down, you are the head coach of this team." After patting Karl on the back, Auerbach said.

Auerbach knew very well that Karl was anxious because everyone really wanted the Celtics to fight a turnaround.

However, facing opponents like the 76ers, there is no use in being anxious.

This is the cruel and ruthless side of the NBA.

The result of the game, the victory or defeat, will not be changed or shaken by certain ideas.

Auerbach, who hopes that Karl will be his successor in the future, patiently analyzed the situation on the court for Karl.

Auerbach, who has experienced countless big scenes, knows that this Celtics team still needs time to grow.

Before the start of the new season, the Green Army actually very much hoped to replace Karl, the tool man head coach.

After all, someone needs to take the blame for the Celtics' worst record in team history last season.

However, Auerbach overruled all objections and saved Karl's position.

Because from Karl, Auerbach also saw his potential to become a famous coach.

That is...

Obedient and good at learning.

A coach who is good at listening to other people's suggestions, Auerbach knows, will not be too bad.

So, on the one hand, Auerbach is not in a hurry to reinforce the team, in order to give Stern face, and on the other hand, it is also to use half a season to allow Duncan and Karl to grow.

Brutal beatings are always the best way to grow.

In the fourth quarter, watching Duncan, whose smile gradually disappeared and was a little constipated, Auerbach took the initiative to sit next to Duncan after educating Karl.

"Tim...do you hate losing?" Auerbach smiled.

Duncan nodded noncommittally.

"But basketball is like our life. Sometimes, you have to admit that you are not as skilled as others." Auerbach said meaningfully to Duncan.

"Of course, there is still one quarter left, and we have enough time to catch up.

So, if you hate losing, then prove it to me, Tim.

Maybe the result of working hard and still failing will be quite unpleasant, but only by firmly remembering this feeling can you truly understand how hard-won victory is.

Last season, after the 76ers eliminated the Bulls, many people believed that eliminating the Bulls was helping other teams.

Some people even ridiculed them, saying, since you can't win the championship, why bother to defeat the Bulls?

But how would those who say this know that no victory is ever meaningless.

Because if you don't go all out if you can't go to the end, how will you know that you can't go to the end?"

On the Celtics' bench, after pressing Duncan's shoulder, Auerbach suddenly stood up and pointed his right hand at the North Shore Garden dome...

Those sixteen championship banners.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but preferring to go to the tiger mountains.

As Tomjanovich said, never underestimate the heart of a champion.

Winners may become losers tomorrow, and losers, who says they can't become winners tomorrow?

Recalling Auerbach's words, word by word, the 21-year-old Duncan, the suppressed feeling in his chest completely disappeared.

And what replaced it was...

That pounding champion's heart.

However, just when Duncan was ready and prepared to go all out in the fourth quarter, Auerbach held him down again.

"Don't worry, rest for a while first." Auerbach smiled.

Duncan, who was both a father and a mother on both offense and defense tonight, has not consumed a small amount of energy. Auerbach doesn't want Duncan to play only a few seasons under his command.

"I will definitely substitute you in, Tim, because I also hate losing.

However, before I substitute you in, you first come and observe Su with me." Auerbach said to Duncan, looking at Su Feng, who was still not resting in the fourth quarter.

And although he still wanted to play the game more, Duncan took three deep breaths and began to focus his attention on Su Feng.

"Remember his every move, Tim," Auerbach reminded.

Duncan nodded.

And after a while, Auerbach asked Duncan, "Just now, when Su was defending, do you remember what he did?"

Duncan pondered for a while and replied, "He successfully defended us on the outside."

"He just slid 14 steps, each step was exceptionally precise." After a pause, Duncan added.

And hearing Duncan's answer, Auerbach first smiled, and then said:

"It's more than that. Just now we originally had a fast break opportunity, but Su stood at a high position and put pressure on David.

Then, he quickly returned to his defender and completed a very beautiful defense.

Finally, he also assisted the inside to protect the rebound."

"This 76ers team does not have an advantage in absolute height. Most people only see Theo and Ben's rebound numbers, but forget Su's contribution to the team's rebounds."

After pondering Auerbach's intention for a while, Duncan said to the "Red Bishop", "I think I understand."

Looking at Duncan's serious face, Auerbach nodded and said, "Then do it according to your ideas, Tim."

"Okay!"

……

In the fourth quarter, just as Su Feng was happily playing with the substitutes, with 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Duncan returned to the court for the Celtics.

71 to 60, this was the score when Duncan returned to the court.

And five minutes later, 76 to 71, this was the score when Larry Brown called a timeout.

Defense, offense, defense, offense.

Duncan, who was awakened by Auerbach, was completely different from the third quarter.

Because, he found that the 76ers' offense was not difficult to defend.

As long as the Celtics play steadily and base themselves on defense, then they will still have a chance to catch up with their opponents in this game.

Duncan, who entered the All-Defensive First Team right from his debut, used his terrifying help defense ability to transform into the most solid backing for every Celtics player.

And with defense as a guarantee, even if the Celtics fail to score once or twice, they can patiently wait for the third offensive opportunity.

The 76ers have already missed the best opportunity to widen the score.

Unfortunately, whether it is Snow or McGee, they dare not say no to speeding up, as they cannot disobey Brown's tactics.

In Su Feng's previous life, the biggest flaw in Brown's style of play was precisely this.

If you can't torture your opponent to death, then in military terms, it is:

It is better to pursue the defeated enemy with the remaining courage than to learn from Xiang Yu and seek a false reputation.

Only defense without counterattack, then even if you can really defend your opponent so that they can't breathe, the 76ers will not be able to build a greater lead in one fell swoop.

For a team like the 76ers that lacks offensive points, if they don't play fast, how can they use random punches to hammer the "old hooligan" to death?

Su Feng's touch can't always be guaranteed. He and Iverson have thrown almost 45 times tonight. Apart from the two of them, the 76ers' highest scorer is Ratliff, who has 8 points.

In contrast, don't look at Duncan as the most eye-catching player for the Celtics, but they do have more scoring points than the 76ers.

On the 76ers' bench, listening to Brown repeatedly emphasizing defense, defense... Su Feng finally understood why Brown was criticized even more than Van Gundy in his previous life.

Could it be that this guy's brain is full of bondage play, whips, and small candles?

Wake up, the Celtics are not

Hey, there's a "183" who has heatstroke here, hurry up and take him to the conference room to rest?

On the court, Duncan gets another block.

In Su Feng's previous life, did you really think that Iverson liked to be a lone hero?

In this play, at the moment when he completed the breakthrough, on the other side of the Celtics, Su Feng was tightly entangled by Fox, and Iverson did not dare to pass the ball to other people, so he could only choose to go hard by himself.

To put it bluntly, after Auerbach's guidance, Duncan has also gone out, just like Su Feng.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack, and Duncan got his 22nd point of the night.

Another old man-style hook shot.

76 to 73. The North Shore Garden Arena, which had been silenced by the 76ers in the third quarter, suddenly boiled.

The Green Army fans in the entire arena were shouting "Tim, Tim". On the court, just as Snow was preparing to receive the baseline ball as usual, suddenly... the basketball flew over his head.

A dumbfounded Snow was a little confused, because with his height and jumping ability, how could he catch Ratliff's baseline ball?

However, before Snow could question, on the court, Su Feng had already dribbled the ball past half-court.

Su Feng, whose dribbling ability value has reached 71, did not find it difficult to dribble the ball past half-court. He directly accelerated from the backcourt, chasing Fox on the side and rear.

The Celtics' defense was obviously messed up this time, and Su Feng, who rushed up, took advantage of the situation to rush all the way to one step before the free throw line, and suddenly took a small half-section dry shot.

On the 76ers' bench, Brown was suffocated by Su Feng's offense...

Because from receiving the backcourt ball to completing the offense, Su Feng only spent a few seconds to complete the shot this time.

Swish——!

78 to 73.

Su Feng, who ended the 76ers' scoring drought, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the court, he was holding his jersey collar after scoring, and he looked as cool as he could be.

And turning around, after Wesley hit a key three-pointer for the Celtics, on the 76ers' side, Ratliff once again quickly served the baseline ball.

This time it was Iverson who received the ball. After the "Answer" went straight into the inside, he suddenly甩ed the ball to the outside.

Outside the three-point line, Su Feng caught the ball and fired directly without adjusting.

Swish——!

81 to 76.

On the Great Celestial Dynasty TV station, Sun Zhengping said with emotion: "Tonight's Su Feng is simply like the god of death descending."

Two consecutive Answer.Balls... On the 76ers' bench, Brown frowned slightly when he saw Su Feng scoring 5 points in a row.

Because in his opinion... this kind of rush is too risky.

Poor John Davis...

Even though he is no longer with the 76ers, in Brown's heart, he has been chopped to death countless times by Brown...
