All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 176 Light and Shadow in Philadelphia

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!

There are no training arrangements for people, but as an outstanding "time manager", how can Su Feng waste time?

Apart from anything else, as for Grover's high training expenses, for a "frugalist" like Su Feng, if the money is not spent to torture himself, then everything will be meaningless.

Squeeze yourself dry and challenge extreme challenges that others cannot challenge. It is Su Feng who is known as the "Man of Flame"!

As the saying goes, it feels good to fuck hard for a while, but it feels good to fuck hard all the time.

Under Grover's frenzied guidance, Su Feng felt that there was at least a chance that he would be able to open the gate with a ball speed of 90 before the playoffs...

It's done!

Well, give yourself 90% less, this is to make yourself less proud.

On the evening of the 17th, the 76ers gathered together and flew to Toronto to prepare for the team's away game against the Raptors on the 18th.

However, before the team set off, everyone never saw Ratliff.

"No need to wait... let's go."

After talking to Ratliff on the phone, 76ers head coach Davis covered his face with one hand and said.

As the saying goes, who does the sky bypass?

The 76ers, who were still complaining about the strange injury suffered by the Timberwolves two days ago, may have to lose Ratliff for a while...

"Theo accidentally fell while taking a shower in the bathroom this afternoon. He probably lost his footing and sprained his foot. I have arranged for the team doctors who are staying in Philadelphia to check on his injury."

Looking at the players who were discussing whether Ratliff missed the team's plane because of "multiplayer sports", Davis explained to everyone.

In the NCAA, March is known as "March Madness", while in the NBA, people usually refer to March as:

——"Devil's March".

You know, Su Feng was still lamenting two days ago that the 76ers are currently the only team in the league that does not have a main player on the injured list...

But who would have thought that in just two days, Ratliff would become the unlucky guy on the injured list.

Losing Ratliff will undoubtedly make the 76ers' next sprint more difficult.

But one thing is that according to Su Feng's previous predictions, the 76ers have been quite lucky this season.

After all, in the NBA, it is impossible for a team to avoid injuries for an entire season, even if your team doctor is awesome.

If Su Feng and Yao Mai could have played side by side for a few more full seasons in Su Feng's previous life, Mosaic's team history might have been rewritten.

The 76ers have relied on beating their main players to get here this season, but the price of this kind of beating their main players is that the risk of injury to the main players will continue to increase.

Therefore, there are never absolutes in this world.

Without the main force, the 76ers will definitely not be able to achieve their current record.

But if they beat the main force to death, the 76ers must bear corresponding risks.

On the evening of the 18th, in Toronto, due to Ratliff's absence, veteran Scott Williams was appointed as the starter in this game.

The last time they played the Raptors at home, Su Feng could happily help Iverson achieve a triple-double, but this time, Su Feng could only lament one moment and the other.

Without Ratliff, the 76ers can't cover the penalty area just by relying on rookie Ben.

"Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire learned from the experience and lessons learned from the last time the two teams met, and his basketball dream was infinitely blown away.

This guy doesn't even get inside, he just throws around from the outside.

Then......

Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?

Relying on random three-pointers, Stoudemire and Iverson became explosive in this game.

And Su Feng once again felt the pain he had brought to those star players...

You said Christie intervened...

He is not strong in anything else, but he can bring you to work together.

This famous NBA "wife control" is good at marking, assisting defense, chasing defense and...

Various defenses.

I don’t know if his physical fitness was developed through some sports with his wife...

Anyway, when he was not required to participate in the offense, on this night, Su Feng could not penetrate this guy's defense except for betting on his shooting percentage.

In Su Feng's previous life, Christie was also an underestimated player.

You may not believe it, but when the Kings reach a stalemate in the future, apart from Bibby, the attacking point that the Kings can rely on is neither Webb nor Peja...

But Christie.

Christie, who is good at defense, dares to play key balls and can always step forward and hit for a few minutes when you need him.

In Su Feng's previous life, if it weren't for the fact that the future Raptors coach Butch Carter was an extremely stupid person...

How could the Raptors with McGrady, Carter, and Christie not even win 50 games?

After being fired by the Raptors in the early 2000s, Butch Carter would never be hired as a head coach by another team.

Because the general managers of other teams are not stupid, the Raptors' lineup that can compete for the top three in the Eastern Conference this season has been turned into a pot of porridge by this guy...

You can't even do the simplest "picking peaches", so you still want to be a head coach in the NBA?

In this game, "Ai Feng" was criticized by each other, and the only comeback point the 76ers could count on was an unknown substitute.

However, it turns out...

In the future, it will be daily for Ginobili to turn on the "Pampas Eagle" switch for about 15 minutes per game...

However, the number of times an unknown substitute has a name is only a small probability event.

Camby, who was "dunked" by Iverson in the last game, also got good statistics in this game. After all, in terms of talent, if Camby was not talented, how could he become the second pick in 1996?

Coupled with Ratliff's absence, Ben was quite annoyed by Raptors swingman Walter Williams...

As a result, people suffered two consecutive losses in Toronto.

After the team ended the game and returned to Philadelphia, Ratliff's injury report also came out.

The injury is not serious, but the team doctor recommended that he rest for 2 to 4 weeks.

The guilty Ratliff looked extremely uncomfortable after trudging to the training hall.

He pursed his lips, grabbed his training clothes, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

If Ratliff had a choice, he would rather break his third leg than his damn right foot.

Especially when Su Feng came over to ask about his condition, looking at Su Feng's sincere, clear and bright eyes, Ratliff really wanted to find a steel plate and slap himself to death.

"Theo, pay attention to rest during this period, don't play ball secretly, and listen to the team doctor's advice."

To Ratliff's ears, Su Feng's voice was so gentle at this moment.

There was obviously no light on Su Feng's body, but in Ratliff's heart, Su Feng's body was already surrounded by holy light...

Speaking of which, at this moment, Ratliff only had a cane in his hand.

If you send him a battle flag now, he will definitely rush to the front line without hesitation while shouting "For the King".

Su Feng switched between armor warrior and healing priest so skillfully.

So, Anduin is high! Refuse to refute!

The story behind Ratliff and the 76ers team doctor will not be told for now...

After losing in Toronto, in fact, the most painful thing for the 76ers right now is the consecutive back-to-back games.

And even Su Feng, who was fully prepared for the difficulties...

Unexpectedly, it was not until the team won in Boston on the 28th that the 76ers ended their five-game losing streak that started with the Hornets.

Thanks to the NCAA finals and the fact that the NBA did not schedule a game, the 76ers got a rare period of life before going to Boston.

The Celtics are worthy of being a team that aims to compete for the "championship".

In Boston, they didn't even resist.

Because of Duncan, the Celtics were completely stunned.

So far this season, they have only won 9 games. To be fair, to be able to bring such a good team to this point, who knows how much thought Celtics coach Karl spent behind the scenes?

After the game against the Celtics, the 76ers are still ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with a negative result.

Although the 76ers have been losing recently, they are not the only ones losing in a row now.

The gap between the Cavaliers, currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference, and the playoff teams has gradually widened.

The Magic, ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, are 1.5 games behind the 76ers, while the Bullets, ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, are 3.5 games behind the 76ers.

As the strong teams gradually exert their strength, the current battle situation in the Eastern Conference can only be described as tragic.

Except that the Bulls and Heat have basically locked up the top two in the Eastern Conference, the current wins of the Knicks, Hornets, Hawks, and Pistons seem to be carved from the same mold.

These four teams are plundering everywhere in order to compete for home field advantage in the playoffs.

In contrast, the situation in the west is much more stable.

The Jazz, Mosaic, SuperSonics, and Lakers firmly hold the top four positions in the Western Conference.

And further down, it's a situation where rookies are pecking each other. Even the Pacers, currently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, will be ranked sixth in the Western Conference...

They lost to the Pistons in Detroit and ended the entire March journey with a record of 5 wins and 9 losses.

In March, the 76ers' record declined severely, and the impact of Ratliff's absence due to injury is self-evident. However, it is worth mentioning that in March, when they continued to lose consecutively, the 76ers also left the Bulls. 's classic masterpiece.

You may not believe it, but in the latest team strength rankings, the 76ers' ranking is not retreating but advancing.

The reason is:

Although this young team is not stable enough, their outstanding performance against the powerful is definitely worth looking forward to.

After the match in March, Su Feng's various statistics were still improving steadily.

Currently, his average playing time during the season is close to 38 minutes. He is the most bullied high school rookie in the history of the NBA.

As long as Su Feng can continue to maintain his current playing time, then this data in the future...

I'm afraid only his heir can break it.

Say goodbye to March, in April, the 76ers will usher in the final finale.

In the first three weeks of April, the 76ers have a total of 12 games to play, and the intensity of four games a week is not low.

According to the current situation, as long as the 76ers can win half of the games, it will ensure that they can successfully get tickets to the playoffs.

In Su Feng's previous life, the eighth threshold in the Eastern Conference this season was 44 wins, but in this life, due to the emergence of the 76ers as a disruptor, Su Feng estimates that this threshold will eventually be raised to around 46 wins.

The reason for the higher playoff threshold is simple, because in Su Feng's previous life, the Cavaliers did not put so much pressure on the Magic and Bullets.

In a basketball game, the desire to win has a huge impact on the outcome of the game.

You know, the Bullets and Magic are rushing for the playoffs this season. Once they fail to make the playoffs, ninth in the Eastern Conference will be the most embarrassing ranking.

In the NBA, generally speaking, you either make it to the playoffs, become a playoff team, and sell more tickets;

Or go ahead and gamble on the talent of those rookies;

Most teams in their right mind would only choose these two options.

Therefore, whether it was bullets or magic, when Su Feng watched their post-game videos, he could clearly feel that these two teams, like the 76ers, were already risking their lives.

The good news for the 76ers at present is that Ratliff is recovering well from his injury, and the team doctor estimates that he will be able to return in another week.

But on April 1, after the 76ers lost the direct dialogue with the Magic, Su Feng realized just how difficult it was to bring a bad team from last season into the playoffs in his rookie season.

In Su Feng's previous life, LeBron James tried to take the Cavaliers into the playoffs in his rookie season.

As a result, the Cavaliers at that time also won first and then lost, because a collapse at the end of the season directly caused the team to miss the playoffs.

It would be okay if the current players in the 76ers were at their peak, but without Ratliff's help as a rookie, his current shortcomings are very obvious.

Iverson has the highest degree of completion, but no matter how hard he hits, he is just the "answer" in his rookie season.

The 76ers are weak, and Su Feng can be said to have done everything he can. To put it bluntly:

The 76ers' "strength is not enough".

During this period, it was much more difficult to break through from the east than it would be in the future, because the east was now full of powerful powers, and the east was strong and the west was weak. It was really not just a joke.

Fatigue is affecting the entire 76ers, and the worst thing is that as the team continues to suffer losses, even Su Feng...

There are also some "controllable" Iverson's reasonable switches.

On the 2nd, in Philadelphia, during the back-to-back games between the team and the Raptors, Iverson took 35 crazy shots.

He hit 14 of them and scored 41 points with free throws, but the result was...

The Raptors, the "championship" team, had the last laugh.

Of course the "Little Flying Squirrel" can't guard against Iverson, but no matter how bad the defense is, it can't withstand that unreasonable offensive choice.

Under Su Feng's "remote control", Iverson's shots seemed unreasonable, but in fact they were all reasonable shots that were corrected with Su Feng's help.

Just like Cole will need Curry and Clay to shoot those daily three-pointers in the future, in fact, as a star, sometimes you have to stand up and play this kind of superstar ball.

However, if this kind of superstar ball is played too much, it will cause very serious damage to the team's overall offense.

Iverson's fighting spirit is the capital that allows him to stand in the NBA, but at the same time, this fighting spirit is also a double-edged sword.

After losing to the Raptors on the 2nd, the 76ers officially handed over the seventh place in the Eastern Conference. What worries 76ers fans most right now is...

The ninth-ranked Bullets in the Eastern Conference, after successively defeating the two "championship" teams of the Spurs and Celtics, they are already quietly only 1.5 games behind the 76ers.

Is the current situation of the 76ers more than just bad?

Before Ratliff comes back, they will have to face the three powerful enemies of the Pacers, Hornets, and Bulls.

Compared with the comfortable schedule in the first half of the season, in the second half of the season, the 76ers faced the dual test of willpower and lack of experience.

Rookie coach Davis is already worried.

Su Feng, who is busy in front of and behind the scenes, cannot succeed in every game, because there are only a few cards that the 76ers can use...

"The main issue at the moment is to resolve the team's panic and nervousness after successive losses."

"Secondly, Iverson must be put on the brakes, otherwise we won't even be able to take down a team like the Raptors."

"The last thing is to do everything possible to survive the period when Ratliff comes back."

Su Feng, who has always been calm, summarized himself after the team lost to the Raptors on the 2nd.

The more dire the situation, the more calmly you need to deal with it.

Because the basketball game is not a sport where you can become stronger just by shouting and going through some memories.

Su Feng knew that he had to calm down Davis, the rookie coach, before he could control the team as easily as before.

As for why Su Feng didn't make adjustments as soon as possible?

Wake up... Su Feng is not a god.

In terms of keyboard theory, he was indeed ahead of his time, but in practice, he was just a rookie.

Some things and some truths cannot be converted into your own wealth without personal experience.

Su Feng had clearly underestimated the impact of the schedule and injuries on a team before, and these wrong judgments will continue to help him in his subsequent career.

On the 3rd, before the team left for Indianapolis, I watched Davis frowning and scratching his head...

Su Feng jokingly joked with him: "Coach, if you keep scratching like this, then I feel that you are not far away from becoming Jeff Van Gundy."

After getting along with him for nearly a season, Su Feng has a good grasp of Davis's character. This guy doesn't like to put on coaching airs and prefers to get along with the players.

He is not the kind of Scott who chooses to ignore me after asking for help a dozen times.

When Su Feng said this, Davis, who felt that he seemed to be bald, quickly put down his hand, and asked Su Feng to help him look at the top of his head...

Taking this opportunity, Su Feng and Davis chatted about some interesting off-field stories.

After he relaxed, Davis looked at Su Feng curiously and said, "Su, why can't I see any 'nervousness' on your face?"

Su Feng spread his hands and said with a smile: "Because, coach, if there is a problem that you cannot solve today no matter what, then please believe me, even if you get up the next day, you will not be able to solve the problem."

After listening to Su Feng's words, Davis began to think thoughtfully.

The impact of Ratliff's absence now is a problem that the 76ers cannot solve.

So stop trying to get into trouble.

What we should be thinking about is how to win against the Pacers in Ratliff's absence.

Looking at Davis who was deep in thought, Su Feng did not bother him. Instead, he turned around and hugged Iverson and said:

"Allen, in the past few games, have you noticed that the number of passes you pass to me is getting less and less."

Iverson frowned and bit his lip. He has been under a lot of pressure recently to "answer" because as the 76ers suffered a losing streak, many public opinions have criticized him for playing more and more alone.

"Su, do you also think that my way of playing is wrong?" Iverson looked up at Su Feng and asked.

"No, as the ace player of this team, we can't win unless you step up and score." Su Feng patted Iverson on the shoulder and said.

"But Allen, abandoning the team's ace, will never be able to lead the team to victory no matter what." After a pause, Su Feng added.

For people like Iverson, Su Feng knows very well that you must inspire him and let him think for himself.

so......

On why Duncan can become a cornerstone for fifty years.

"Ben, what are you looking at?"

After giving psychological counseling to his teammates one by one, Su Feng asked as he looked at Da Ben who was reading a magazine.

"Hey, Su, look, this girl is so on point."

Daben pointed to a black girl wearing 404 clothing in the magazine and said to Su Feng.

Su Feng: "..."

Well, maybe Su Feng is the least worried among these 76ers...

This is it, right?

"Ben, why are you not 'nervous' at all?" Su Feng asked curiously.

After being asked by Su Feng, Da Ben thought for a while and said to Su Feng in a firm tone:

"I trust you."

"You told me last year when I first went to work with you that you just took it for granted that you would be an All-Star.

And it turns out you did.

Sue, you know I'm stupid.

I can't help you when the team is attacking, so I can only work hard to grab every rebound and do my job well.

Let me give a simple analogy.

If, Su, you are the light of Philadelphia, then I am like your shadow.

So instead of thinking about that, I might as well think about how I can help you.

Because, the stronger the light, the thicker the shadow. "

Su Feng: "..."

Too much...

You stole all my lines one by one, so how can I use this sentence to fool my Pippen in the future?

But don't tell me, Ben's big and scary elbows really make people feel safe...
