Chapter 1 May 6th

On the evening of May 6th, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Celtics and the Heat officially kicked off at the Boston Garden.

Before the game, in the betting session of 19 American commentators, except for Barkley, who always firmly believed that Su Feng could lead the Heat to perform a miracle in the semifinals, the remaining 18 people believed that the Heat would stop in the Eastern Conference Semifinals this year.

As the league's number one "face-slapping" monster, in general, when betting on games involving Su Feng, American basketball experts are very cautious.

Therefore, this time, the experts are not optimistic about the Heat, not because they are biased towards the Celtics.

But...

Even Su Feng and Riley thought the experts were right this time.

On the 5th, after arriving in Boston, Su Feng and Riley exchanged opinions on this year's Eastern Conference Semifinals.

As a result, just like Zhou Gongjin and Zhuge Kongming tacitly wrote the word "fire attack" on their palms...

Riley and Su Feng both believed that if the Heat wanted to reverse the situation in this series, in addition to doing their best, they also had to pray that Marbury would continue to have problems in the game.

In the regular season, because Su Feng turned on the Finals mode early this year...

So Riley knew better than anyone that on the surface, this was a semifinal between the second and third place teams in the East, but in fact, the gap between the Heat and the Celtics in overall strength was much larger than people imagined.

Especially since the main framework of this Celtics team has not changed much in the past few years, their tacit understanding and strict discipline are exactly the type of team that the current Heat are not good at dealing with.

In the regular season, relying on Su Feng leading the second team to wreak havoc on the court, the Heat often won some inexplicable games in people's eyes.

But when facing this Celtics team, even if the Heat can launch an offensive climax in a certain period, this experienced Green Army will not be shaken by it.

And this...

Made Riley feel a little bit annoyed.

Because currently, the Heat only have so many cards to play besides Su Feng.

Although before, Riley and Su Feng had successively shouted the slogan of "Happy basketball, it's a win to play one more game"...

But as one of the coaches in this league who can't afford to lose the most, how could Riley not want to win this series?

And for Su Feng...

If you were to ask who he least wanted to lose to in this league...

Then besides Kobe, McGrady, Carter, and his successor, it would probably be Tim Duncan, who the Heat were about to face tonight.

As of now, in the playoff head-to-head record, Su Feng and Duncan have each won two series.

And if you include the regular season, tonight's game is also the 51st dialogue between Su Feng and Duncan in their careers.

In addition, as a game that will bring extra bonuses to Su Feng in the Iron Smelting System, his "Destined Battle" with Duncan is also one of the fastest ways for him to obtain Iron Smelting Value now.

However, considering that the overall strength of the Heat this year is indeed different from that of the Celtics...

So before the start of this series, Su Feng did not issue "dead orders" to his teammates like he used to do in the Raptors.

"Relax, Pat, the days of you and I conquering the league are still ahead."

Moreover, even before the game, Su Feng took the initiative to "comfort" Riley.

Su Feng, who already had three championships in hand, knew very well that conquering the NBA was not something that could be achieved overnight.

After all, in his original timeline, even a ruthless person like O'Neal only won 4 championships.

Therefore, this year, Su Feng's mentality can be said to be the most mature year of his career.

And looking at the killing intent hidden in Su Feng's seemingly peaceful eyes...

In a trance, Riley's thoughts had already been brought back to the "show.time" era that he had created and destroyed with his own hands.

Obviously.

The king has now restrained all his sharpness.

Not impatient, not impetuous.

Not humble, not arrogant.

The night before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Celtics, after saying goodbye to Su Feng, Riley patted Spoelstra on the shoulder and sighed, "Prepare to start praying, Erik."

Hearing this, after thinking for a while, Spoelstra said to Riley, "Coach... are we going to start praying now that Stephen will continue to perform abnormally tomorrow?"

Riley shook his head and said, "No... we need to pray that Su can lead us to defeat this Celtics team with his own strength."

Spoelstra: "..."

"Coach, although I thought so before, you should know...

This is not realistic." Spoelstra said after a two-second pause.

"It's not realistic. But...

What if Su is reality?" Looking at Spoelstra, Riley said with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Spoelstra always felt that the day he took over was not far away.

Because...

In his opinion, Riley has suffered from "madness" since he got Su Feng.

...

On the evening of the 6th, after checking the floor of the Boston Garden one last time, Su Feng returned to the Heat's bench with satisfaction, not finding anything amiss.

Inside the arena, as the start time approached, the fanatical Green Army supporters quickly showed their "heritage" to the world through the live broadcasts of more than forty countries and nearly a hundred television stations.

As everyone knows, whether it is the Bulls of the Jordan era, the Mosaic of the Olajuwon era, or the Raptors of the Su Feng era...

These three teams they played for would not be regarded as "dynasties."

In the NBA, which is mainly a culture of stars, stars are often the key to determining a team's personality and temperament.

However...

Just like everything has its exceptions, there are also such "exceptions" in the NBA.

The Boston Celtics.

In the long history of the NBA, the only team qualified to be called a dynasty alongside the Los Angeles Lakers.

As the famous "racist city" of the United States, if Auerbach hadn't used his sincerity to win back the loyalty of a group of black stars, then it would be really hard to imagine that today, in this arena, Duncan could chat and laugh with his teammates on the sidelines.

Although Auerbach did not come to the scene to watch the Celtics' game this year due to physical reasons, before the start of this game, Duncan and Randolph still moved a chair each and placed them next to Auerbach's exclusive seat.

And above the dome, the seventeen championship banners flying in the wind also made the Heat's young players feel unprecedented pressure during the warm-up.

Just like on the football field, when you step into Anfield, even when Liverpool is in decline, you can feel the dynasty temperament that hits you in the face.

On the sidelines, Su Feng noticed that from the beginning of the warm-up until now, Milicic, Odom, and others had gone to the toilet at least four times.

However, no matter how harsh the cheers on the scene were, from the moment he stepped into this arena, Su Feng seemed to be the owner of this arena.

On the court, after the player introductions of the two teams, Su Feng even went to the technical table and threw a handful of magnesium powder.

And for every move of Su Feng, this old rival...

The next second, the Green Army supporters on the scene responded to Su Feng with boos that resounded throughout the arena.

"My God... is he really not nervous at all?"

In the center of the court, Odom, who wanted to go to the toilet again, said with a puzzled look.

And not long after Odom asked this question...

On the sidelines, because he felt that the boos were not loud enough, Su Feng put his left hand to his ear like his good buddy Iverson.

Odom, Milicic: "..."

This...

Is this the psychological quality of the league's number one player?

At this moment, looking at Su Feng's calm expression, Milicic and Odom were completely convinced.

And on TNT, Barkley also kindly reminded the fans on the scene: "Boos can't kill a king like Su."

In this life, in addition to Su Feng's emotional intelligence, the main reason why most of the Hall of Famers in this league are fond of him is because he has a similar "DNA" flowing in his bones as these Hall of Famers.

What are you kidding me...

In the old days of unrestricted fighting in the NBA, if you were afraid when you went to someone else's away game, then what kind of basketball would you play?

On the court, after the players of the two teams walked to the center of the court one after another, the big screen on the scene then gave the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

Heat: Milicic, Odom, Su Feng, Butler, Alston.

Celtics: Randolph, Duncan, Othello, Ray Allen, Marbury.

In the tip-off, Duncan used his long arm to grab the ball for the Celtics.

Marbury dribbled the ball across the half-court.

At this time, the waves of white and green mixed together in the entire arena also rolled up at the same time.

The Celtics' first attack, Duncan took the initiative to move up to the high post to play a pick-and-roll with Marbury.

At the top of the arc, Alston failed to get around Duncan, and Milicic's delay was not big enough.

As a result, Duncan easily slipped into the basket.

At this time, no matter how corrupted Marbury's mind was by capitalism, he was not stupid enough to not see this big open space.

After getting the ball, Duncan, who originally wanted to save his energy, hesitated for 0.1 seconds before raising his long arm and scoring the first two points for the Celtics with a one-handed dunk.

0 to 2.

At this time, some Celtics fans who were closer to the court shouted at Su Feng:

"Save some energy! Without Vince Carter to assist you, you are just a mortal!"

On the court, it was the Heat's turn to attack.

Looking at Othello, who couldn't wait to hug him, Su Feng directly made a cold shot at a 45-degree angle on the right wing after taking the basketball from Alston.

Othello didn't expect that Su Feng could find a chance to shoot when he was following so closely.

However...

Looking at Su Feng's crooked body when he shot...

In Othello's opinion, if this ball goes in, then he will immediately...

Swish!

Othello: "..."

On TNT, after watching the slow-motion replay and seeing Su Feng's hand shape when he shot, Barkley couldn't help but sigh: "This is why Su can always make those incredible shots on the court.

Even if his body leans forward or backward when shooting, his shooting hand shape will not change at all!"

After years of cultivation, Su Feng's "Feng's Pull-Up Jumper" is no longer the original version.

Now, on the ability panel of "Feng's Pull-Up Jumper", in addition to the benefit brought by the [Deadeye] badge, which allows Su Feng to eliminate the lack of three-point stability in the two-motion shooting style, Su Feng's own all-area shooting stability rating has also reached five stars.

And his mid-range shooting stability has long reached the highest rating in the system...

Seven stars!

On the court, after scoring the first point for the Heat, Su Feng spread his hands with a helpless expression, looking at the Celtics fans who had just shouted at him.

And now, looking at the group of fans who seemed like they would rush into the court and PK with Su Feng in the next second, Odom was almost kneeling to Su Feng.

The game continued, the Celtics attacked.

On the wing, after completing the transposition with the continuous cover of his teammates, Ray Allen successfully got open...

Open a hammer!

On the court, as soon as the words were spoken, Su Feng rotated to Ray Allen's face in the blink of an eye!

Because he had already been shot out of the psychological shadow by this Gentleman's Sword in the regular season, how could Su Feng not be careful to guard against Ray Allen's running?

Since the conversation before the start of the playoffs, Butler's attitude has been very positive recently.

But, before further sharpening by himself...

Players like Ray Allen are not something he can solve now.

And looking at Su Feng, who was tightly缠著 him...

Ray Allen couldn't shake off Su Feng's close defense even with pulling and tugging.

On CCTV, Director Zhang couldn't help but complain: "If this ball was someone else, it would definitely be an offensive foul.

But because it is Su Feng who is defending Ray Allen, in the eyes of the referees, this kind of pulling and tugging doesn't even count as physical contact."

On the court, because the Celtics' three-point tactics failed, Duncan took the initiative to drop to the low post.

With little time left on the shot clock, Duncan scored two more points for the Celtics with a seemingly casual hook shot.

3 to 4.

Back and forth, it was the Heat's turn to attack.

Bearing the boos from the audience, Othello watched in astonishment as Su Feng, the "Knee Destroyer", suddenly completed an "emergency stop" during the breakthrough.

Then, after stepping, staying in the air...

Su Feng shot this beautiful mid-range pull-up jumper that Othello thought was impossible for humans to complete.

In general, when performing this kind of emergency stop and turn, even the top athletes will have a slight pause.

But Su Feng's emergency stop...

In Othello's opinion, it was simply and rudely stopping his entire body.

He neither decelerated nor adjusted through pauses.

And this kind of emergency stop...

Is it really possible for a human knee to complete it?

The Celtics' offensive possession.

This time, Su Feng directly switched to defend Ray Allen.

Although in this series, if Su Feng always defends Ray Allen, his physical consumption will definitely exceed expectations, but...

When playing weak against strong, Su Feng knows very well that the weaker side is not qualified to bargain with the stronger side.

And after being tightly贴住 by Su Feng, Ray Allen always felt that whether it was Su Feng or Kobe, anyway, this劳尔梅里恩双子星 seemed to have a grudge against him when they met him.

On the court, Randolph and Duncan's successive screens for Ray Allen failed to block Su Feng.

On the contrary, Ray Allen, who tried to pull Su Feng to shake him off while Su Feng was going around the screen, was retaliated against by Su.

In the first quarter, Ray Allen, who had been fighting wits and courage with Su Feng for the entire quarter, only got three shots.

As a result, because he consumed a lot of energy when confronting Su Feng before, Ray Allen failed to seize these three opportunities.

At the end of the first quarter, relying on Duncan and Randolph's back-and-forth hard work, the Celtics slightly gained the upper hand.

The score of the first quarter between the two teams was 25 to 28.

In the second quarter, the Heat replaced their second team and were led by Su Feng.

And on the Celtics' side...

After thinking about it for dozens of seconds, looking at Ray Allen, the only reliable perimeter player on the Green Army's bench, Miller-Kahl said to him affectionately, "Ray, we need you!"

Ray Allen: "..."

As a player who just wanted to play well tonight, when he saw the affectionate gaze that Kahl cast at him, the sentence that Ray Allen wanted to say the most at that time was:

No, you don't need it!

However...

For the trust of the head coach, no matter how unwilling Ray Allen was to face Su Feng, he still gritted his teeth and nodded.

On the court, taking advantage of the time when Duncan went down to rest, Su Feng successfully led the Heat to launch a small climax of 7 to 0.

And on TNT, watching Su Feng, who was acting as both a father and a mother on the court, Barkley sighed, "Anyone with a little common sense knows that even the strongest player has limited physical energy.

But tonight...

Su seems to be tireless,扛起了 the banner for the Heat on both offense and defense."

Unfortunately...

Just like Riley and Su Feng predicted before the game...

In the final stages of the second quarter, after the Celtics' main players returned one after another, the Heat became the beaten side again.

Fortunately, on the court, perhaps infected by Su Feng's tenacious fighting spirit...

Of course...

It may also be because Odom accidentally touched his metaphysics switch...

Boston Garden.

Just when the Celtics were constantly expanding their lead, Su Feng, who had been walking in the desert, finally saw the first oasis of this night.

Although Barkley had just吹完 that Su Feng would never get tired...

But for this kind of confrontation tonight...

Su Feng, who had to be both a father and a mother, couldn't possibly stay energetic every time he attacked.

Therefore, if the Heat players could not provide Su Feng with some firepower support, then I am afraid that before they reached the decisive moment, Su Feng would have to be活活累死 on the court first.

You must know that even if Ray Allen's off-ball movement was not练出来 by exhausting his own dog like Hamilton...

If you want to make this Gentleman's Sword stay in the scabbard honestly...

Su Feng must also pay the corresponding price.

At the end of the first half, relying on the situation that Odom and Su Feng supported together in the second half, the Heat chased the score back again.

During the halftime break, the score between the two teams was 51 to 54.

After a short break, on the court, the game continued.

In the third quarter, after the two teams played a few rounds of iron, it was the Heat's turn to attack.

On the wing, after deceiving Othello's center of gravity with a single-handed dribble fake, Su Feng suddenly and unreasonably hugged the ball and rushed into the Celtics' restricted area.

As a result...

Even when Duncan was ready to hug Su Feng down, Su Feng even managed to throw the ball out of his arms!

Bang, swish!

Beep!

The ball went in and the whistle sounded, and there was a free throw to be added!

You have your board-hitting大法.

I also have my unreasonable and-one.

And on the court...

After looking at Duncan, at this moment, Su Feng felt that Duncan was simply his lifelong enemy.

Because in the past five years...

Su Feng could hardly remember how many times he had fought with Duncan in such a tragic厮杀 as tonight.

And coincidentally...

In the restricted area, after holding the ball for a long time, until the referee came over to ask him for the ball...

Duncan didn't understand how Su Feng escaped his embrace just now.

In Duncan's opinion, Su Feng was simply his lifelong enemy.

Because, when facing Su Feng...

The theories and knowledge he learned in college were subverted by him.

On the court, Su Feng made the free throw.

54 to 54.

And aside, watching Su Feng and Duncan, who惺惺相惜 each other...

Ray Allen suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

Look at the sky!

It was clearly him who had been挨打 tonight!

But why...

Didn't anyone notice him?

On the court, the Celtics attacked.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

On the wing, after pulling and tugging with Su Feng in a no-ball state for several rounds...

No one knew how uncomfortable Ray Allen was this night.

Bang, swish!

And in the restricted area, it was still Duncan's low post-up.

It was still the familiar "Little Duncan's bank shot."

On TNT, watching Su Feng and Duncan, who both stood up to end the scoring drought for the two teams in the third quarter...

Barkley explained, "Su and Tim...

They seem to be each other's '宿敌'.

Whenever one side plays a wonderful ball on the court, the other side can often respond in the next round."

Swish!

On the court, as soon as Barkley finished speaking, Su Feng飙中 a mid-range pull-up jumper on the wing.

56 to 54.

As a result...

In the next round, Duncan also scored his 16th point of the night through a low post-up against Milicic.

56 to 56!

In front of the TV, with Barkley's description just now...

Countless fans had already immersed themselves in this god-level fight between Su Feng and Duncan.

In the NBA, if you want to ask what kind of game is the most beautiful...

Then of course it is:

Soldier against soldier.

General against general.

King against king.

If you want to fight, then I will fight!

...
