Silently Writing
Chapter 693 Sideline God, The Strongest Heat!
Evening, June 6th.
Dallas, American Airlines Center.
On-site, in a sea of blue, the Dallas fans fully demonstrated their "hospitable" talents to the fullest.
Boo————!
On the court, when the Heat players appeared, the piercing boos from all around seemed to want to lift the entire dome of the stadium.
As one of the most terrifying home courts in NBA history, whenever the playoffs came, the blue wave rolling in Dallas was definitely a memory that many visiting teams were unwilling to mention afterwards.
Speaking of which, in Su Feng's previous life, the Mavericks of this period had also created a record.
That is, since entering the ranks of the league's top teams in the 21st century, the Mavericks had sold out all of the team's season tickets for the new season for fifteen consecutive years.
Although because of traffic problems, you would often find that the Mavericks' home court was emptier than other teams at the start of the first quarter of regular season games...
But in the playoffs, especially the Finals, please do not doubt the efficiency of Dallas fans in parking before the game.
In addition, the group of strong men surrounding Mavericks owner Mark Cuban in the main stands were not kidnappers.
But the famous "Strong Men Cheerleading Squad" of the Dallas Mavericks.
Of course...
If you had just finished watching the Eastern Conference Finals between the Celtics and the Heat...
Then you would definitely find that this Finals seemed to have a few more people than the previous Eastern Conference Finals.
On the court, a group of young girls wearing blue bikinis instantly pushed the atmosphere of the stadium to a climax after the players' entrance ceremony.
Although as early as April 2006, Rich Gotham, who was in charge of the Celtics' commercial operations, had already persuaded "Red Auerbach" to establish a cheerleading squad...
But this season, in order to express respect for Auerbach, the Celtics' cheerleaders did not perform in any of the Celtics' 06/07 season playoff games.
Before the game, Su Feng didn't specifically go to say hello to John Davis.
Because both of them knew that in this Finals, only the victor was qualified to speak politely.
Just...
When the big screen on the scene showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight...
Davis frowned slightly, realizing that things were not simple.
Heat: O'Neal, Ilyasova, Kapono, Su Feng, Ginobili.
Mavericks: Chandler, Nowitzki, Howard, Posey, Kidd.
After starting for the team in Game 4 of the previous Eastern Conference Finals, Kapono appeared in the Heat's starting lineup again tonight.
And Ilyasova, a 19-year-old Turkish rookie, was ordered to take over from a local Turkish barbecue stand in Miami and became a playoff starter for the first time in his career.
Before the game, because he had conducted a very in-depth study of Su Feng and this Heat team, Davis was not surprised that Ginobili was starting.
But Kapono and Ilyasova...
Hey! Are you not planning to consider defense tonight?
In the center of the court, O'Neal and Chandler began the game with a jump ball.
And I don't know if it was because everyone already knew about O'Neal's short and fast thing, anyway, the "boxing champion" who dared to use his "good brother" to fish was obviously not as afraid of O'Neal as before.
After the opening, the Mavericks had possession of the ball, and Kidd was responsible for dribbling the ball across the half court.
In Dallas...
But also...
After all, if this Teutonic Gundam really had the defense of Duncan and Garnett...
Then I'm afraid there would be nothing for me in the NBA now.
And on the sidelines, after thinking for a while while stroking his chin, Davis sighed and said, "Su's understanding of basketball is indeed extraordinary."
Just...
Looking at Su Feng, whom Davis had been repeatedly mentioning since before the game...
The Mavericks' assistant coaches were a little confused.
Because isn't this lineup arrangement the head coach's business?
Because he often gained inspiration from Su Feng in his early years, Davis was obviously influenced by impressions at this moment.
You know, the Heat has been improving this season...
But it has never been just the players on the court.
On the Heat's bench, after taking out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and putting them on, Erik Spoelstra, who was combing his hair back like Riley, was clearly the "sideline god" of Miami at this moment.
On the court, the game continued.
The Mavericks attacked, and Howard scored a single against Kapono on the wing.
2 to 4.
In return, the Heat had possession of the ball.
Su Feng broke through and passed the ball, Ilyasova passed it to the middle again, and Kapono hit a three-pointer, answering with color.
5 to 4.
Then, Kidd and Nowitzki had a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and the latter went down and scored a layup.
5 to 6.
The Heat attacked, Su Feng shook off Howard and went straight to the basket, Chandler quickly returned to defense, Su Feng passed the ball to the baseline, Ilyasova also hit a three-pointer, 8 to 6!
On the scene, in just two minutes, the Heat and the Mavericks' offense and defense were dazzling.
Just like a year ago...
In this Finals...
Only the side with the better offense can have the last laugh.
In the first quarter, it wasn't until the official timeout that people realized that the time of this game seemed to be passing a little too fast.
And after the timeout, the Heat and the Mavericks also made substitution adjustments respectively.
On the Heat's side, O'Neal, Ilyasova, and Kapono were down.
Mourning, Haslem, and Stackhouse were up.
On the Mavericks' side, Dampier and Terry were up, and Chandler and Posey were down.
"What are you doing, Jerry?" On the side, watching Stackhouse, who was tightly holding Kapono's hands before going on the court, Mourning asked curiously.
"I'm letting Jason pass his hot touch to me!" Looking back at Mourning, Stackhouse said.
"Does this really work?" Mourning asked with a confused look.
"Of course it works, because we are the best team in the world, Alonzo!" Patting Mourning on the shoulder, Stackhouse smiled.
On the court, the game continued.
I don't know if Kapono's 2-of-2 outside touch tonight was inherited by Stackhouse...
Anyway, on the Mavericks' side, "The Jet" Terry came up and immediately hit a three-pointer.
17 to 18.
Back in return, the Heat had possession of the ball.
Stackhouse, who had performed well in the previous Eastern Conference Finals, was closely guarded by the Mavericks as soon as he came on the court tonight.
"Larry and Miller may underestimate Jerry, but I won't." On the Mavericks' bench, after glancing at his former "disciple" Stackhouse, Davis spread his hands and smiled.
Just...
Since Stackhouse was being closely watched on the court...
That also meant that the pressure on Su Feng's shoulders was greatly reduced in an instant.
On the court, looking at the unremarkable Howard, after dribbling to the right and tapping lightly, Su Feng raised his hand at the top of the arc and made a beautiful fadeaway jumper.
Swish!
19 to 18.
And as Su Feng made this shot, the Heat's fans in front of the TV also realized...
This seemed to be Emperor Feng's first goal of the game.
"Did you notice, Tracy...
Now Su is increasingly understanding what true team basketball is." In front of the TV, Kobe, who did not follow Su Feng to Dallas, said affectionately.
Ah!
Damn Su!
It's fine if you come to the Lakers to assist me...
But why do you have to make such a big change for me?
Do you know...
If I can't make all the shots you pass to me...
Then I will blame myself on the court!
And on the side, watching Kobe, who was imagining Su Feng constantly sending him wonderful passes on the court, McGrady said speechlessly: "Su has always played very team-oriented...
Among us, the most individualistic seems to be you, Kobe."
Kobe: "..."
"Hey, I didn't expect you to think so too, Tracy.
Actually, in my eyes, if I had to pick teammates among us, then I'm afraid the one I would least want to cooperate with is Kobe." Just as Kobe was thinking about how to retort McGrady, Carter also added insult to injury.
Kobe: "..."
"Don't you guys go online?
I saw a post translated from China by American netizens on a forum before...
How does that saying go?
If Kobe passes the ball, then it will be a sunny day." Immediately afterwards, Iverson also stabbed Kobe in the chest.
Kobe: "..."
Alright!
If it weren't for the fact that one of the conditions for Su Feng joining the Lakers was that he had to recuperate and recover from his injury before he could come back...
Then at this moment, Kobe really wanted to let these guys see in the next season what true passing is!
No...
Haven't you guys heard of the nickname "Pennsylvania Magician"?
Who told you that I, Kobe Bryant, only know how to score on the court?
emmmm...
Just as Su Feng was in a love-hate relationship with Davis in the Finals...
I'm afraid Su Feng would never have imagined that on the night of June 6, 2007...
The three former truck co-drivers who had assisted him in the past would actually offer him divine assistance on this night.
The camera returned to the American Airlines Center.
In the first quarter, the Heat, who had been attacking against the Mavericks for the entire quarter, led 37 to 35 at the end of the first quarter thanks to Ginobili's buzzer-beating three-pointer.
And in the second quarter, looking at the Heat's second lineup...
Davis also more deeply understood why Su Feng would suggest the Heat to arrange their lineup like this tonight.
On the court, O'Neal, Hayes, Su Feng, Ariza, and Rondo lined up in a row.
Just asking...
With this second lineup, in today's league, how many teams' starting lineups can compare?
Because O'Neal only played 6 minutes in the first quarter, the Heat's thinking was also very clear at the beginning of the second quarter.
Inside, after receiving Su Feng's lob pass, O'Neal immediately launched an offensive against Chandler behind him.
And although, because the Heat's second lineup had limited pulling ability and could not create more offensive space for O'Neal on the court...
But for O'Neal, who had long been accustomed to diving in a puddle...
What did two or three people's defense count for?
You guys take the honors.
I'll do the dirty work.
Compared with O'Neal in the Lakers era, O'Neal in the Heat era had already been trained by Su Feng into an iron point slave.
Therefore, knowing that after Manu went off the court, his Shaq brother had to share the pressure for the big boss Su Feng, O'Neal had only one thought at this moment...
That is, to get that damn basketball into the basket!
Maybe, my power is not as good as it used to be.
But, in the occasional one or two offensive possessions...
The oil in my tank is still enough to support me in showing you my dominance!
Bang, swish!
In the low post, after squeezing away Chandler, O'Neal scored the ball against the help defense of Nowitzki and Posey.
39 to 35!
Immediately afterwards, in return, after Barea's three-pointer missed the rim, Hayes also completed a behind-the-head rebound from Chandler's head!
What a joke!
We are the Miami Heat who just finished a life-and-death battle with the Celtics!
If your fighting spirit and perseverance are limited to this, then why are you fighting with us?
On the court, after protecting the Heat's rebound, Hayes immediately launched a fast break like a quarterback with a long throw.
And in the frontcourt, Rondo also grabbed the basketball into his arms before Barea, who intended to make up for his mistake.
"Do you know how beautiful a meteor is when it streaks across the night sky?" Looking at Barea, Rondo asked.
Barea was stunned.
Because he didn't know why Rondo would suddenly say such a sentence.
But in the next second, Barea quickly reacted to the meaning of Rondo's words.
Because as Rondo threw the ball into the sky...
Before Tyson Chandler, who intended to make up for his mistake...
Su Feng, who turned his body into a battle ax, was like a meteor streaking across the sky. For the third time in his career, while completing a dunk, he forcibly tore the half-court basket of the Dallas Mavericks from the basket support!
Bang!
Then, after throwing the basket to the technical table, Su Feng did not forget to face the blue sea of the Dallas scene...
He made Iverson's classic celebration.
Putting his hand to his ear was not a provocation.
But to tell you...
Compared to the previous Celtics, your boos tonight are simply not enough to listen to.
Having passed the previous life-and-death battle...
Teacher, have you ever thought that we at this time have already surpassed your imagination?
On the court, looking at John Davis, Su Feng smiled at this moment.
And on the Mavericks' bench...
At this moment, Davis also reacted.
Before the start of this series, he made a mistake that everyone would make when facing Su Feng's team.
As Kenny Smith said back then.
All overestimations of Su Feng's team...
Will eventually prove to be an underestimate.
Perhaps, this year's Mavericks have grown a lot compared to a year ago.
But...
The Miami Heat, who emerged from the Eastern Conference Monster House...
Have already completed their transformation in the previous six life-and-death battles with the Celtics!
