Silently Writing
Chapter 98 Become the Real "The.King"!
In the Zhongzhou Arena, led by the cheerleading captain Hannah, the sexy 76ers cheerleaders wore miniskirts and exposed their snowy chests, beginning their performance.
"Damn capitalism!"
"Coach, I want to play basketball!"
"Hey, no, honey, listen to me, I'm really watching the NBA, ouch, it hurts, don't pinch my kidney..."
Unfortunately, in another two years, the fans would only be watching commercials during timeouts.
The timeout ended, and the game continued.
After the timeout, the Bucks executed a successful low post play.
Vin Baker successfully positioned himself with a teammate's screen, and Ray Allen on the left wing passed the ball to him.
However, the long-armed and long-legged Baker didn't have an advantage in the muscle collision with "Big Spoon" Witherspoon.
Speaking of which, the short and sturdy Witherspoon was also a player who was born in the wrong era.
If he had been born a few years later and learned a few tricks like the "nut-cracker" and "eye-poke," he would definitely have been a solid championship piece.
It's just that, even though Baker couldn't move Witherspoon, and his not-yet-bloated body was being squeezed by Witherspoon, swaying back and forth like waves...
But after a difficult turnaround, Baker's long arms showed their advantage.
Coupled with Baker's drinking habit, perhaps this was the NBA version of "drunk throw?"
Swish!
4 to 9.
It was the 76ers' turn to attack. After being shown off by the "Golden Double Guns" at the start, the Bucks' defensive intensity immediately increased after the timeout.
Well...
In this era, the way to increase defensive intensity wasn't like future coaches giving you pep talks or asking if you were awake...
In the 90s, another meaning of increasing defensive intensity was: elbow when you should, and take him down when you should.
Bang!
On the court, Iverson broke through Douglas's defense again.
But just as Iverson was preparing to score like an NFL running back, Robinson, who came to help defend from the wing, successfully "sacked" Ai!
Although Iverson's strength was good, being hit during acceleration would send even him flying a couple of meters.
The referees hesitated for a moment after this clash between the top picks, but didn't blow the whistle.
Don't be surprised, this was the 90s.
Back then, Michael Jordan was swarmed by the Pistons' bad boys, elbowed on the left and kicked on the right, and it wasn't always called a foul.
To put it bluntly, if the young Jordan hadn't been beaten to tears, Stern wouldn't have introduced the "flagrant foul" rule to target the Pistons' near-fighting style of defense.
In the referees' eyes, Robinson was going for the ball, and although he hit Iverson, it wasn't considered a bad move.
Robinson successfully stole the ball and dribbled it himself to launch a counterattack.
After dribbling to the three-point line, Robinson suddenly accelerated, while using his elbow to block Su Feng.
Then came Robinson's signature three-step layup from the three-point line.
6 to 9.
After scoring, the Big Dog glared at Su Feng and Iverson, who had just run back, "Rookies, watch carefully, this is the NBA."
Iverson was a bit impulsive, but Su Feng pulled him back.
"You are Allen Iverson!
In my mind, you are the man who will surpass Michael Jordan!
Let them see what real technique is." Su Feng said, patting Iverson's shoulder.
After adjusting his headband, Iverson nodded in a good mood.
The 76ers attacked, and the Bucks pressed up even more aggressively. As soon as Iverson crossed half-court, he was met with "sticky waist" defense.
Douglas wanted to use this to exhaust Iverson's stamina, because no matter how good he was at breaking through, Iverson couldn't possibly charge and kill like he did at the start of the game every time.
The pace of the 90s couldn't be sped up, which was related to the guards' overly long organization prelude.
The most classic example was the Bulls and Jazz's two-year war. Every time it came to the critical moment, the Bulls wouldn't bother with any tactics. Anyway, after crossing half-court, Jordan would start backing down.
As the face of the '96 Golden Generation, Iverson received targeted treatment, to say the least.
And when encountering this kind of defense, the common solution at this time was to find an opportunity to pass the ball to the interior or the wing for a back-up play.
Because this could reduce the error rate.
On the court, Stackhouse felt his chance had come.
He actively raised his hand to signal Iverson to pass the ball to him so he could deal with Ray Allen.
Come on, use me!
I, the No. 3 pick in '95, North Carolina...
Bang!
On the court, Su Feng suddenly slipped to the high post to screen for Iverson.
In basketball tactics, the pick-and-roll can be said to be the most common tactic.
The 76ers' two inside players, Williams, didn't have enough athleticism, and Witherspoon only wanted to play one-on-one, so in Iverson's rookie season, you would most often see all kinds of fancy one-on-one plays.
But now it was different.
Because Iverson not only had someone behind him, but also someone in front of him.
Douglas was blocked behind by Su Feng. Although Robinson completed the switch in time, Iverson had already sped up!
Clang!
Unfortunately, Iverson's mid-range shot was too strong, and the ball hit the rim and bounced out.
On the sidelines, the utility player Davis felt inspired.
Because Su Feng was fast, could cut to the basket, had range, and could cut to the outside, his pick-and-roll with Iverson seemed very promising?
Well...
Davis might have forgotten that Su Feng's play didn't follow his tactics at all.
The Bucks attacked, Robinson attacked again, with the same flavor and familiar formula.
Su Feng wasn't afraid of his back-up play because how could Robinson's clumsy acting escape Su Feng's discerning eyes?
Back in Seattle, Payton felt that Su Feng was a natural warrior.
How could one stack armor and pass if one didn't have a good mentality?
Robinson's career-high score was 45 points, which simply meant that this guy's critical strike rate wasn't high.
Clang!
The 90s-style iron-smelting competition began. After Williams grabbed the rebound, Su Feng also missed a fadeaway jumper on the wing in the next attack.
It wasn't until there were 5 minutes and 27 seconds left in the first quarter that Ray Allen stepped up to change the score.
Still a long-range two-pointer, 8 to 9.
The NBA's restrictions on outside players were too great, and with the referees turning a blind eye, watching NBA games was indeed an ordeal for today's audience.
But for Su Feng, who was tired of offensive battles, he enjoyed this flesh-to-flesh feeling.
On the sidelines, Davis was preparing to make substitutions. He was preparing to replace Williams with Big Ben in an attempt to speed up the game.
Because of his excellent performance in the preseason, coupled with Big Ben's status as "one of our own," Davis decided to gradually increase his playing time.
The 76ers attacked, and Iverson transferred the ball to Su Feng's hand on the wing.
Stackhouse and Witherspoon on the side were about to cry.
Was Su Feng his wife? Was this how he played basketball?
Why didn't they just play by themselves?
On the court, Su Feng, who received the ball, didn't notice Stackhouse and Witherspoon's expressions, because he was focused on dealing with Robinson at the moment.
In this play, he held the ball behind him with his right hand, trying to turn towards the baseline.
Robinson had already seen through Su Feng's offensive intentions, but just as Robinson lunged towards the baseline, Su Feng suddenly dribbled the ball back from under his crotch!
This was the 67 dribbling ability!
This was the "handsome" crossover dribble of Philly Irving!
Although the movements were a little stiff...
But the effect was good!
Robinson, who wasn't very developed in the brain department, was taken advantage of by Su Feng, who created a distance from him. Then came Su Feng's signature jet-engine acceleration!
In the Bucks' restricted area, Baker and Allen recovered in time. Su Feng's starting speed really shocked the entire arena, but the last two steps...
Just when Su Feng was in a "desperate situation" between two men, Stackhouse didn't know which nerve of his was twitching...
He actually thought that Su Feng would pass the ball to him, so he charged forward.
Hey, you might not believe it, but Su Feng really saw Stackhouse in this play.
After all, Su Feng sent Stackhouse a challenge for a one-on-one every day. How could Su Feng forget Stackhouse's face, which was filled with tragedy?
Although he wasn't good at passing, Su Feng could pat his right breast and swear that he was definitely a player who was happy to "pass the buck" to his teammates.
In this play, Su Feng didn't choose to challenge Baker's long arms at the risk of getting blocked, but instead tossed the ball into the air...
Awkward!
The quality of Su Feng's pass was average. The ball was a little too high.
Fortunately, as the No. 3 pick in '95, Stackhouse's jumping ability was truly amazing.
Bang!
8 to 11. After being silent for a long time, the Zhongzhou Arena was ignited again by the alley-oop.
Su Feng's first career assist was given to Stackhouse with a comedic touch.
On the Great Celestial Dynasty TV station, Director Zhang smiled and said, "Look how reasonable this pass is!
In order to allow his teammate to perform better, Su Feng deliberately threw the ball a little higher."
Sun Zhengping thought that Director Zhang was right and added, "This is truly an imaginative pass."
On the court, Stackhouse was stunned when he retreated to defend, and then took the initiative to walk up to Su Feng and reached out his hand.
"Nice dunk, I'll spare you from training tomorrow." Su Feng said, slapping hands with Stackhouse.
"..."
At this moment, Stackhouse wondered why his life was so tragic.
But after thinking carefully, if he could reduce the number of times he had to go one-on-one with Su Feng every time he helped Su Feng complete an assist, then Stackhouse would have something to say.
The game continued, and Baker broke into the basket, adding two more points for the Bucks.
Perhaps it was because of Su Feng and Big Ben's previous positive defensive attitude, but now even Williams and Davis were very unhappy with him.
In Davis's opinion, even if you can't defend it, you still have to reach out your hand!
The 76ers attacked, and after Iverson broke through and passed the ball, Witherspoon followed up under the basket and hit the bank shot.
10 to 13.
But Witherspoon didn't want to say a word after scoring.
Because in his opinion, if Iverson continued to play so "solo" this season, then his stats wouldn't look good.
The Bucks attacked. This time, Williams reached out his hand when defending, and then he fouled.
Baker went to the free throw line, and the 76ers also completed the substitution. Big Ben came on, and Williams came off.
While Baker was taking free throws, Ford, seeing that the 76ers' lineup height had dropped a lot, pulled Robinson aside and gave him some instructions: "Attack their inside more."
Robinson, who wasn't very efficient tonight, had this intention.
Last time in the preseason, he had been blocked by Big Ben once. Later, after returning home, he felt that he had been too cowardly at the time.
Today was the perfect opportunity to get his revenge!
Baker made both free throws, 12 to 13.
Iverson dribbled the ball past half-court, and Big Ben took the initiative to run over to screen for him.
Although Big Ben didn't have a jumpshot, the Bucks' center, Long, still followed him out.
Douglas was dizzied by Iverson's dribbling and was directly led into Big Ben's arms.
When Douglas looked up, he saw a man with the face of a robber smiling foolishly at him...
Oh my god!
A ghost!
Swish!
In this play, Iverson learned his lesson and didn't go inside, but instead took a free, peaceful, and democratic three-point snipe from the outside.
In the preseason, Iverson's three-point percentage reached 38.5%. In this short three-point version, Iverson could also "eat" people when he went crazy.
12 to 16.
Turning around, the Bucks attacked.
Robinson held the ball and forced his way in.
It's a pity...
Not everyone's three-step layup while holding the ball is like that man in the future who opened BkB...
Robinson's plan for this play was very good. He noticed Big Ben, who was coming to help defend, when he started, so he deliberately paused in the air.
However, just as the ball left his right hand, he forgot that Su Feng, who he had easily passed, was waiting behind him...
Since he had been forcibly given the nickname "the.king," how could Su Feng, as the guide for that kid from Akron in the future, not have the "chase-down block" attribute?
Su Feng discovered that his comprehension in defense was simply terrifying.
Slap!
In this play, Su Feng nailed the ball to the backboard with both hands, forcefully grabbing the ball down!
Robinson, who had landed, was stunned. At this moment, he realized how exaggerated the static talent of the yellow-skinned teenager standing in front of him was.
This was the newbie's welfare.
- A 100% passive that was being underestimated.
If Robinson, as the top pick, had always been smart, then with the Bucks' lineup, he would have led the team into the top four in the East.
On the Great Celestial Dynasty TV station, Zhang Weiping said excitedly, "Su Feng blocked the top pick, Glenn Robinson!"
In front of the TV, Little Yao smiled awkwardly, "Brother Feng's chase-down speed is really too fast."
In the Zhongzhou Arena, Su Feng threw the ball to Iverson after blocking it.
Iverson winked at Su Feng, signaling him to follow up.
At the scene, at this moment, 20,000 Philadelphia fans stood up collectively.
Because at the moment when the Golden Double Guns charged to the frontcourt, everyone realized that a world-famous painting was likely to be born!
Iverson, who was the first to arrive under the basket, threw the ball back in a freehand manner according to Su Feng's sprinting speed, and this seemingly easy toss actually contained the steel-like friendship between Su Feng and Iverson.
This ball was reserved for the top of today's top five plays.
Su Feng grabbed the ball with one arm in the air and split Mount Kilimanjaro!
"Su Feng!"
The Zhongzhou Arena was completely boiling!
Su Feng never expected that in his career debut, he would dunk twice so satisfyingly.
And at the moment when Su Feng landed, Iverson excitedly bumped into Su Feng's chest.
"Hey, Su, do you know what you did?
You blocked the top pick, and you also completed a earth-shattering dunk!" Iverson was even happier than Su Feng at this moment.
He knew that as long as this ball was finished by Su Feng, it would definitely be on the top five plays.
That's why he had just signaled Su Feng to follow up.
12 to 18.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were dumbfounded.
Some emotional people had even started cursing the Basketball Association.
"Did you see that?
This is freedom, this is never bowing your head, long live Philadelphia! Long live freedom!" Pat Croce, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked around and raised his arms.
Reality was too much like a fantasy.
To be honest, novels wouldn't dare to write like this...
On the court, the Bucks were stopped by the 76ers for the second time.
At this moment, whether it was Robinson or Baker, including the Bucks coach Ford, no one dared to treat Iverson and Su Feng as rookies anymore.
"Forget this terrible start, guys, show some real skills!" Before arranging tactics, Ford roared at his players.
On the 76ers' bench, Davis patted Su Feng's shoulder with great satisfaction, "Su, come down and rest for a while. I'll arrange for you to play again when there are 7 minutes left in the second quarter."
Su Feng "obediently" nodded, "Okay, coach."
Davis smiled, then turned around and picked up the tactical board, "Next, we'll focus on Clarence as our main point of attack."
On the side, hearing Davis's tactical arrangements, Su Feng, who was still thinking about how to further improve his playing time, knew...
Davis was going to help Witherspoon brush up his stats.
Looking at Witherspoon's expression, which was full of self-righteousness that the coaching staff had bowed their heads to him, Su Feng felt sorry for "Big Spoon" for a second in his heart...
This was the NBA, cold and ruthless.
Only by being in this situation could Su Feng truly understand what business was and what a commercial league was.
At this moment, Su Feng became even more determined in his "Dao heart."
So, after the dream of entering the NBA had been completed, after the two dreams of becoming a basketball superstar and marrying a rich white woman, Su Feng added another small dream for himself.
He wanted to become the real "the.king"!
…
