Silently Writing
Chapter 562 Let the Basketball Fly for a While!
It's common knowledge that whenever Su Feng or Kobe erupts, the other is bound to go on a rampage in the next game.
In "Feng Studies" and "Ke Studies," this interesting phenomenon is jokingly referred to by fans as the "Feng-Ke Theorem."
So...
What if "Britney's Theorem" collides with the "Feng-Ke Theorem"...
What would be the result?
Through patient and careful research, Smith discovered that in Su Feng's career, there were indeed a few games where these two theorems collided.
And without exception, the result was that Su Feng delivered a godlike performance in those games.
Although with the development of human scientific civilization, blindly believing in an unverifiable theorem has been regarded as a foolish act.
However, for sports competitions where metaphysics often visits, various theorems have long become a major source of fun for fans watching the games.
For example, on the soccer field, the famous "Demichelis Law."
For example, in the DotA2 arena...
But...
Only by defending against Jordan will you know that Jordan's fadeaway is simply undefendable.
Just like Su Feng now.
No...
In a sense, Su Feng at this moment is definitely harder to defend than "His Airness" back then.
Because at the age of 26...
He is at the peak of his physical functions.
On the court, with Marion being forced out of the defensive range by Su Feng, Su Feng's handsome and picturesque fadeaway pierced through the Suns' net from beyond the three-point line.
After spending a full quarter discarding all kinds of distractions, if you had to ask what kind of change Su Feng had undergone from being iron to accurate...
It would probably be...
As Charles Barkley said, absolutely trusting his feel when shooting.
At the American Airlines Arena, watching Su Feng turn around to celebrate in advance after two consecutive shots...
Miami...
The cheers of "MVP, MVP, MVP" instantly resounded throughout Florida!
"How dare he! How dare he!"
On the Heat's bench, looking at Su Feng's extremely confident face, O'Neal felt that Su Feng's swagger had soared into the clouds!
On the Suns' bench, upon seeing this, D'Antoni promptly called a timeout.
And after this timeout, D'Antoni brought Hill and McGrady back onto the court ahead of schedule.
"A wise choice." In Boston, after seeing D'Antoni's change, Bird said appreciatively.
His assistant beside him asked curiously, "Larry... isn't this a regular substitution?"
"A regular substitution? No... Logically speaking, it might be a regular substitution.
But from the perspective of the current game situation, knowing that you can't defend against Su, instead of thinking about how to defend against him...
It's wiser to think about how to maintain your lead in the game through offense." This season, after joining the Celtics' management, Bird suddenly felt the pressure that Karl had felt when leading the team alone before.
Because...
Except for some stubborn old-timers, the coaches in the league are now increasingly understanding how to think like John Davis.
On the court, the Suns attack.
Facing Ginobili, after a light step with the dribble, McGrady also scored his 12th point of the night with an unsolvable fadeaway.
And conversely, before Grant Hill could implement the planned double-team on Su Feng after he got the ball, Marion lost his defense against Su Feng after being tricked open by a mysterious shoulder shake from Su Feng!
In the jianghu (martial world) of the NBA, the more evenly matched masters like Su Feng and Marion are, the faster they will determine the outcome when they clash.
If you don't slow down Su Feng's feint frame by frame, most fans simply wouldn't realize what just happened.
This was a fake move that Su Feng had deliberately made for reaction monsters like Marion.
At the beginning of the second quarter, if Su Feng's first breakthrough was a setup.
Then now is the time for him to reveal the foreshadowing and show his killing intent.
On the perimeter, after dribbling back a step, Su Feng raised his gun a full meter and a half away from the three-point line!
And like before...
The moment the basketball left his shooting hand, Su Feng turned around in advance and extended his left hand.
And the gesture his left hand made at this moment...
Was exactly the gesture referees make to the scorer's table to confirm that the shot was a three-pointer.
Swish!
I bet there are no bullets in your gun.
No.
There really are bullets in my gun.
And not just one.
On TNT, watching Su Feng, who wasn't worried about becoming a comedic backdrop after missing the shot, Barkley said bluntly, "I've never seen a player as confident as him."
Beside him, Smith, who felt he was about to get one back, said, "Of course he has that kind of confidence!
Because he is the best player on this planet!"
Unlike the protagonists in some basketball novels who rely on a ridiculous 100% hit rate cheat to brag, since the blacksmithing system doesn't have a cheat that can directly increase Su Feng's hit rate...
So if you were to say that Su Feng didn't have any concerns when choosing to brag, that would obviously be impossible.
But, at this moment...
Feeling the softness of his hands like silk, Su Feng had already forgotten that only trace of concern.
In Su Feng's opinion, if you don't have confidence in yourself, then what are you playing basketball for?
As a shooter, you must have the belief that every ball will go in!
On the court, after Su Feng aggressively sank his third three-pointer of the second quarter...
Looking at Marion, Su Feng also pointed out the location of his next shot to Marion.
"Hey, Shawn, watch carefully, I'll take another shot there later."
Upon hearing this, if it were anyone else, Marion would definitely step forward and kick him.
But looking at his idol's extraordinary and confident face, Marion knew that Su Feng would definitely complete his next attack at the location he pointed out.
At the American Airlines Arena, it was the Suns' turn to attack.
Because Su Feng had already predicted the location of his next attack, the nearly 20,000 fans in attendance didn't care what the Suns' attack would turn out to be.
Because they...
Just wanted to fast forward to the Heat's next attack.
Swish!
On the wing, McGrady's turnaround fadeaway went in again.
47 to 41.
And turning around, after standing in the left 45-degree angle that Su Feng had just pointed to in advance, Marion also showed his respect to Su Feng with his actions.
But...
Knowing that Su Feng would definitely shoot at the location he pointed out, Marion still unconsciously gave up the area to Su Feng as Su Feng started to pull the basketball and press closer to him.
Fortunately, Hill, who was familiar with Su Feng's personality, rushed towards Su Feng at the first moment.
In the eyes of the experienced Hill, if Su Feng still dared to shoot in this situation, it would only prove that...
Su Feng's confidence had broken through human limits.
"It's useless, he's going to shoot from that spot.
And, he'll turn around to celebrate in advance like before."
Unfortunately.
Boston.
When Bird made this remark, since only his assistant witnessed it firsthand, otherwise, Bird's prediction of Su Feng would have become a timeless classic.
Because at the American Airlines Arena...
As soon as Bird finished speaking, Su Feng pulled up for a three-pointer in front of Marion and Hill, despite Hill's pounce!
And, as Bird had predicted, he turned around in advance again after the shot!
"Let the basketball fly for a while!"
On the court, closing his eyes, quietly waiting for the moment when the basketball swished through the net, Su Feng's thoughts were transported back to the three-point competition between him and Kobe at Lower Merion High School.
It was a three-point competition with only Su Feng and Kobe on the court.
And more than that three-point competition itself, the argument between the two teenagers at the time was the most interesting part.
"If the game comes down to the final moment, then of course you have to give the ball to me!"
"No, Kobe, if that kind of opportunity really arises, as long as the ball is in my hands, then I will definitely choose to shoot myself."
"What if you miss?"
"There are no what-ifs. Because even if I don't make it this time, next time, I will continue to shoot like this."
Swish—!
At the American Airlines Arena, after the basketball traveled a long distance and arrived at the end of its journey...
While fiercely waving his left hand downward, a smile instantly appeared on Su Feng's face, which shouldn't have any expression.
Sure enough, compared to dunking, Su Feng still preferred three-pointers.
Because the greatest charm of a three-pointer is that when the basketball is flying in the air, you are always full of expectations for it.
"This is incredible! This is incredible!"
On the Heat's bench, holding his head, O'Neal couldn't believe everything he was seeing at this moment.
And passing by the Heat's bench, Su Feng said to O'Neal, "Shaq, didn't I tell you a long time ago...
I'm a shooter!"
Upon hearing this, O'Neal said after laughing a few times, "Yes, you are a shooter, you are the most incredible shooter I have ever seen!"
