Chapter 441 Mamba Drifting at High Speed

In the final quarter, Xiao Zhan Zhan (LeBron James) had just pulled up for a "Lion Flick Shot" from beyond the arc for the Warriors. In response, Kobe, defended by Xiao Zhan Zhan, returned fire with a "Mamba Driving, High-Speed Drift."

Off the court, Su Feng, sitting on the bench, was filled with emotion at this moment.

Because even though Kobe's shot looked unreasonable no matter how you looked at it...

It was definitely a classic Kobe-style three-pointer.

Back on offense, the Warriors attacked.

Yao, who was leading the team with James in the final quarter, cut to the outside after setting a screen for him.

Unfortunately, Little Gasol, possessed by the soul of Pique, saw through Yao's offensive intentions.

Seeing that Yao's outward cutting route was blocked by Little Gasol, James decisively dribbled and cut into the Lakers' paint.

In this play, the Lakers could defend the Warriors' three-pointer, but they couldn't stop James's breakthrough.

Under the basket, James scored two points for the Warriors with a layup off the backboard.

110 to 100.

It was the Lakers' offensive possession.

Billups, who played in the final quarter, fully utilized his experience as a veteran point guard.

After dribbling the ball unhurriedly into the Warriors' half, Billups raised four fingers while signaling his teammates to clear out for Kobe.

At the top of the arc, Terry, worried that he would be switched onto Kobe like Curry in the second quarter, deliberately took a step back in his defense.

However, Terry, who was only thinking about how to avoid the Lakers' outside screen offense, clearly forgot that the man standing in front of him was a notorious "chicken thief" in the NBA.

From the outside, seeing that Terry did not choose to stick close to him, Billups fired a shot at the Warriors' basket.

Swish!

On the court, Kobe, who was about to rush up and kick Billups, immediately turned his anger into joy and said, "Good shot, Chauncey!"

Tsk!

To be fair.

In terms of changing faces, Kobe and Su Feng were indeed from the same family.

Warriors' possession.

High post, still the Yao-James pick and roll.

Unlike in the past, when he couldn't wait to break through and dominate,

Because at this moment, the Warriors needed three-pointers to quickly close the point difference with the Lakers.

Therefore, when breaking through, James obviously slowed down to observe his surroundings.

But what made him despair was...

Tonight, the Lakers were clearly willing to let him score, but they were unwilling to give the Warriors' other outside players a chance to shoot three-pointers.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Warriors used this strategy to deal with James in their last Cavaliers-Warriors battle.

Because James's playing style determined that his energy consumption was greater than Su Feng's, who relied on pull-up jumpers...

So even if you give him some opportunities to break through, before he kills you, he is more likely to be exhausted by this playing style.

Before Su Feng's rebirth, whether in the playoffs or the regular season, James had never taken more than 40 shots in any game, which was the best proof.

Although in the eyes of some James fans, this was a symbol of James's willingness to play team basketball.

But in James's Finals journeys where he was pushed to the brink, if this style of play could win 60, or even 70 points for the team, do you think he would be willing?

Are you kidding me?

Who wouldn't want to put up big numbers, lead the team to win, and pick up a Finals MVP along the way?

It's just that...

No matter how strong Xiao Zhan Zhan (LeBron James) is, he can't keep plowing forever.

In addition, even if Xiao Zhan Zhan's (LeBron James) "Lion Flick Shot" was more accurate than Su Feng remembered...

The three-pointer could not become his first choice for individual offense at this time. (Note 1)

Because from a playing style point of view, the more rational James had basically never been reckless in Su Feng's memory.

However, for basketball, which sometimes requires a one-shot deal to determine the outcome...

In some games, being too steady means you are destined to lose.

If you carefully review the personalities of the past two basketball gods, you will not find it difficult to discover...

The biggest common point between Jordan and Su Feng is not that they are both narrow-minded...

But...

They both like to "gamble."

On the court, James broke through to the basket and successfully scored another point for the Warriors.

On the sidelines, Van Gundy, realizing that the Lakers' defensive strategy in the final quarter was to smother the Warriors' three-pointers, immediately turned around and called for Curry.

Seeing this, Lue, who had taken the concept of "meeting soldiers with generals, and water with earth" to the extreme, also called for Curry on the Lakers' bench.

Although the Lakers' Curry...

Was a bit weaker than the Warriors' Curry...

But at crucial moments, as long as Seth could use his understanding of his older brother to defend him for one or two plays, that would be a victory for the Lakers.

On the court, the Lakers attacked.

Kobe's series of operations were as fierce as a tiger, but he failed to score again for the Lakers.

In this play, before the final miss, Kobe's dribbling, turning, backing down, and fadeaway were all textbook-level.

But as the game progressed, even though Kobe had assured Su Feng that he had secretly refueled in the third quarter, his decline in energy was an undeniable fact.

On site, the cameraman, who always knew more about basketball than the commentators, immediately focused the close-up on Su Feng on the sidelines after Kobe's shot bounced off the rim.

However, contrary to what people thought, that Su Feng would come back into the game at any time in the upcoming plays...

This evening, Su Feng, who had been paying attention to the time on the final quarter timer, had never thought about coming out early.

Because.

Kobe said he could handle it.

Then he would definitely be able to handle it.

For Su Feng, even if the whole world doubted Kobe, he would never waver in his trust in Kobe.

On the court, after James's breakthrough caused a foul on Stephenson, the two shooters from the Curry family entered the court at the same time.

After the substitution, it was still the Warriors' possession.

Like James, Yao, knowing that it would be difficult to catch up by relying on two-point hard scores, quickly changed his game plan.

And at this moment...

The third strongest form of this Warriors team appeared before the world.

On the sidelines, at this moment, Su Feng felt it was simply amazing.

Because even when he, Kakarot, fought Frieza alone...

It wasn't necessarily this difficult!

The Warriors playing around James.

The Warriors playing around Yao Ming.

And the Warriors playing around Curry.

Counting the past of the NBA...

When have you ever seen such a team that simultaneously possesses three superstars with completely different styles?

Without a doubt.

Even the Warriors after Durant joined in Su Feng's memory were not worthy of carrying shoes for this Warriors team.

Because in addition to being stronger overall...

This Warriors team can also satisfy all your fantasies about a cosmic team.

They have a stalwart inside presence.

They also have unparalleled penetrators.

Even...

They also have a three-point offensive threat that can destroy the world at any time.

On the court, under the crazy screens of Yao and others, Stephen Curry, who had taken the elevator all the way to 29 feet outside the left wing, raised his hand and fired at the Lakers' basket!

Swish!

113 to 105!

Oracle Arena, with Curry's three-pointer swishing through the net, the Warriors successfully narrowed the score difference between them and the Lakers to within 10 points!

On the sidelines, Van Gundy, seeing this scene, repeatedly shook his head and sighed, "I fucking love three-pointers!"

It was the Lakers' turn to attack.

On the court, after the Warriors' main offensive point became Curry, James, no longer worried about whether his energy was enough, also raised his defensive intensity against Kobe by a level.

It had to be said that this James had indeed reached the ideal state that Su Feng had never seen him reach in his previous life to some extent.

On the wing, facing James's desperate defense, Kobe felt what it meant to have difficulty breathing at this moment.

But as a one-on-one monster who had been practicing with Su Feng all year round...

In Kobe's eyes, compared to Su Feng...

James's defense was obviously still a bit lacking.

On the court, after using a head-fake to regain his breath, Kobe, just as he received the pass from Billups, flicked the ball towards the basket while drifting horizontally from beyond the arc.

Without a doubt.

This was a forced shot with a difficulty coefficient of 3.6.

Swish!

And at Oracle Arena, when nearly 20,000 Warriors fans witnessed this ball swishing through the net...

At this moment, besides sighing, what else could they do?

This was Kobe.

Maybe he would miss a lot of shots that he shouldn't miss in the game.

But please don't doubt his determination to continue shooting next!

"Compared to the previous games...

This game really has no technical content at all." In front of the TV, watching the Lakers, who were relying on Kobe's three-pointer to continue their lives, Bird couldn't help but sigh.

After a pause, Bird continued, "But, it is precisely this kind of game...

That is destined to become a classic!"

In the NBA, the reason why superstars are superstars...

Is precisely because they can do things that ordinary people can't do.

Admittedly.

In this round of explosive Western Conference Finals...

If they played it a hundred more times, it would be difficult for Kobe and Su Feng to replicate this perfect connection tonight...a game in which they took turns turning on the "God Descends" switch on the court.

But at this moment...

After Kobe scored another three-pointer for the Lakers.

Even Van Gundy couldn't think of any countermeasures.

Because the Lakers' way of playing...

Was inherently unreasonable.

On the court, in the next possession.

Seth, who was on the court with his older brother, proved his value!

Seth Curry, who had anticipated Stephen Curry's running route, not only bypassed the high walls of the Warriors, but also, when Stephen caught the ball and prepared to shoot, Seth, guessing that Stephen's shot would be a fake, also successfully stole the ball from Stephen when he was about to adjust with a behind-the-back dribble!

Bro, you've been using this move since I can remember, aren't you tired?

On the court, Seth was both angry and anxious as he watched Seth steal the ball from his hands.

Then, Seth, successfully capturing the change in Stephen's mentality...

Used his acting skills, which had no acting skills at all and were full of emotion, to earn the Lakers three free throw opportunities after dribbling past half court.

Without a doubt.

From the beginning, Seth had never thought about a transition three-pointer.

But when he dribbled to the three-point line, Stephen still jumped up.

So, Seth, knowing that it was time to deceive, leaned towards Stephen without thinking.

Beep!

According to the current NBA rules, this was a definite three-point shooting foul.

On the court, Seth was overjoyed to see Stephen successfully deceived.

Look!

This is the consequence of not caring about your younger brother!

Are you suffering now?

"You...you're cheating!" On the court, Stephen said to Seth in a frantic tone while stomping his feet.

Gu </span> Hearing this, Seth shrugged his shoulders triumphantly and smiled, "Then weren't you bullying me when you cheated me out of my potato chips when we were kids?"

Stephen: "..."

On the side, Little Gasol, watching this pair of "deeply affectionate" brothers, couldn't help but think of his older brother, who was almost driven to death by him several times.

And just thinking that he might have the opportunity to reunite with Big Gasol in the Finals again this year and add another runner-up title to his older brother's personal honors...

At this moment, Little Gasol felt that he was full of strength to compete with Yao.

Three runner-up titles!

Bro!

I won't say anything, your younger brother has to fulfill you!

Tsk!

u1s1.

These plastic brothers in the NBA are really affectionate...

On the free throw line, Seth made all three free throws.

And after making the third free throw, Seth secretly made a face at Stephen while retreating on defense.

Haha, are you angry, Stephen?

Stephen: "..."

Okay!

Stephen's mentality was indeed affected by Seth.

Clang!

On the court, Stephen, thinking about how to dismember Seth, was too forceful when shooting, so even though he successfully ran out of space, he failed to seize the opportunity.

On the sidelines, Su Feng, who was still thinking about how to come to the rescue after he came on the court, also swallowed and turned to look at Rondo, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "This game, won't it not need me?"

Touching his chin, after carefully analyzing the current situation on the court, Rondo nodded and said, "It seems like it really doesn't need you, Su."

As a tactical master...

At this moment, the reason why Rondo came to this judgment was because the Lakers players on the court were playing unexpectedly well in the final quarter.

In addition, the Warriors were clearly flustered because they were eager to chase points.

So, in Rondo's view, Su Feng's "worry" was not impossible.

After all, basketball games...

Are not competitions to see who has the stronger lineup, but who can have the last laugh.

Look...

Here it comes...

On the court, the Lakers attacked.

After Seth received Kobe's forced pass after a breakthrough and scored a three-pointer for the Lakers...

While successfully stopping the Warriors.

The Lakers also extended their lead to 17 points.

122 to 105.

On the sidelines, on the Warriors' bench, Van Gundy felt that even luck was on the Lakers' side this night.

Because just take the offensive and defensive possessions of the Warriors and the Lakers just now...

Stephen Curry, who was in an open position, missed a three-pointer.

But in return, Seth scored a three-pointer for the Lakers even when it was not a great opportunity.

And this back and forth...

Was a full 6 points!

And thinking that Su Feng was still resting on the court at this moment...

Van Gundy was so angry that he couldn't help but swear.

"A guess, I don't know if it's right or not." On TNT, Barkley suddenly said during the Warriors' time-out.

Hearing this, O'Neal, Stackhouse, and Smith all turned their eyes to this flying pig.

"I always feel that Su's absence has brought even greater interference to the Warriors.

Because they were eager to chase the score back when Su was not on the court, the Warriors were obviously playing too hastily during this period of time." After pondering for two seconds, Barkley said.

O'Neal, Stackhouse, Smith: "..."

Good家伙！

Even this can be used to find an angle to praise Su Feng?

However...

Although Barkley's wave was indeed suspected of sucking up to Su Feng.

But tonight, the Warriors were indeed affected by Su Feng's failure to play at the beginning in the final quarter.

In the third quarter, because Su Feng's wave of "God Descending" was too terrifying...

So when the fourth quarter started, the Warriors players who noticed that Su Feng was not on the court were basically thinking about how to quickly chase the score back.

However...

Unlike other sports.

Because in basketball, the more anxious you are, the harder it is to shoot.

So Barkley's guess was definitely not a complete licking of Su Feng.

…

Oracle Arena.

After this time-out, Su Feng came back early.

Although in terms of the situation of this game, Su Feng could completely sit on the court for 6 minutes before returning to the court.

But Lue, knowing that at this moment only a straw was needed to crush the Warriors, still chose the most stable way to win the game.

"How do I feel that you are afraid that we will win before you come on the court, which will make you look very embarrassed, so you chose to come on the court early?" On the court, looking at Su Feng, who came back a minute and a half early, Kobe asked with a puzzled expression.

Hearing this, Su Feng was immediately anxious!

"Am I that kind of person? Isn't it because I was worried that your energy consumption would be too great, and you wouldn't be able to continue to help me like tonight in the next game, so I chose to come on the court early?" Looking back at Kobe, Su Feng said with an expression of "I was going to give my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch."

Looking at Su Feng, who was wronged at this moment, Kobe did not foolishly choose to believe him.

Because the painful lessons of the past had already told Kobe...

Su Feng's mouth. Qidian Chinese website.

Is a liar!

Oracle Arena, the game continues.

Leading by 17 points, the Lakers did not let the tragedy happen this night.

Although in the subsequent games, the Warriors, who had calmed down, used a wave of small climaxes to close the point difference between them and the Lakers.

But Su Feng, who scored 14 consecutive points for the Lakers to stabilize the situation, also proved how correct Lue's decision to bring him on early was.

In the end, 136 to 125.

In this game that was still dominated by offense, the Lakers successfully laughed until the end and changed the score of this Western Conference Finals to 2 to 1!

Su Feng, who scored a total of 57 points for the Lakers in the game, won the best player of the game by virtue of the 49-point explosion he played in the second half of the game.

In addition, after this night, Su Feng also became the oldest player in NBA history to score 50+ in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, in an interview, Van Gundy said helplessly: "For basketball, in my opinion, God can only be ranked second.

Because Su is the first one."

In Van Gundy's eyes, in this game, Su Feng, who changed to playing the No. 5 position in the first half, not only successfully helped the Lakers disintegrate the Warriors' advantages in the lineup, but also, in the second half of the game, the wave of explosion he played in the third quarter laid the foundation for the Lakers' victory.

Admittedly, before the start of this series, Van Gundy firmly believed that even Su Feng could not turn the tide by himself.

But when the reality really happened...

At this moment, besides wanting to hire a killer to kill Tyron Lue, that scumbag...

Van Gundy could only choose to accept the reality.

On the Internet, after the Lakers successfully took the third game of the Western Conference Finals...

The classic argument of the Maple Blacks (Su Feng haters) that "Su Feng ruined the sport of basketball" also appeared on every corner of the Internet in China and the United States.

"The Warriors are hopeless, go wash up and go to sleep!"

"Alas, I woke up and the Lakers won again. If you don't understand, just ask, what's the point of basketball?"

"The Warriors really wasted my high expectations for them, but they can't even limit two old men who are almost 70 years old combined!"

Have to say.

The speed at which these haters repeatedly jumped after the game was so fast that even Saitama had to applaud them.

However, since the Lakers have times when they explode.

Then in this series, the Warriors will also have times when they explode.

Oakland, after resting for one night, Stephen Curry, who was mentally exploded by his younger brother Seth Curry in the G3 game, became the player who decided the outcome of the game with Klay in the G4 game between the Lakers and the Warriors.

In that game, Curry scored a career-high 40 points in the playoffs with a total of 19 shots and 13 hits, including 8 of 14 three-pointers and free throws.

Klay, who scored a total of 14 shots and 9 hits, including 7 of 11 three-pointers, successfully made the "Su Feng was so angry that he stomped his feet.jpg" emoticon with the 5 three-pointers he scored in the final quarter.

In this game, the Lakers' perimeter defensive intensity was undeniably high.

But in the game, Curry and Klay, who found their touch, proved that when they are accurate, no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to control them throughout the game.

Plus the stable two-point output of James and Yao...

So, G4, after the Warriors successfully played the upper limit they wanted...

Su Feng and Kobe, who failed to continue their touch in the G3 game, could only pick up their mobile phones and dial "110" and "911" respectively after the game.

"Outrageous! I was blocking him face-to-face at the time, you know?" Recalling the three-pointers that Klay scored in front of him in the final quarter, Su Feng always felt that Klay must have been cheating at the time.

On the side, Kobe also complained: "Who said it wasn't? Just the few goals that Stephen scored in front of me, even if I let him shoot normally, he might not be able to score them!"

Damn the Splash Brothers!

According to the schedule, after this series reached 2 to 2, the Lakers and Warriors' battle for the top of the mountain will return to Los Angeles.

And it is obvious that...

In Los Angeles...

The two teams' battle for the top of the mountain will determine the direction of this series.

For the Lakers, there is good news.

In the game held at Staples.

Stephen Curry is more trustworthy than Chris Paul at critical moments.

But after the first four games, the Lakers' group of veterans have reached their limit in terms of physical fitness at this moment.

In short...

As the most difficult round of series Su Feng has played in his career...

This year's Western Conference Finals.

Whether it is the intensity of the game or the difficulty, it has already surpassed the round of series when Su Feng killed the dragon when he was young.

In the following games.

This Lakers team will not only challenge their physical limits.

At the same time, their psychology will also be tormented like the dark war that year.

It's a pity...

In the case of such a tragic situation in the West...

Dwyane Wade, who is determined to lead the Hawks to the Finals for three consecutive years, is not happy at all.

Because even though the Lakers and Warriors grabbed most of the attention in this year's Western Conference Finals...

You can't deny...

This year's Eastern Conference Finals is even more tragic than the Western Conference.

In the G1 game of the Eastern Conference Finals, in Miami in May, Riley ordered the Heat's home staff to turn off the air conditioning.

And in the first four games alone, a total of 9 players from the Hawks and the Heat received malicious fouls in the game.

On the Internet, some fans described this year's Eastern Conference Finals as "retro basketball."

Because basically, in the game, the players of the two teams were either hugging and wrestling or fighting each other.

Not bragging.

This year's Eastern and Western Conference Finals have basically locked in the honor of the most tragic Western Conference Finals in NBA history.

Because no matter who walks out of their respective divisions...

They are destined to be in a state of residual blood at that time...

…
