All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 274 When meteors streak across Toronto’s night sky

On the 9th, Canada Flight Center Arena.

In the new season, after the Raptors exploded across the North like a mushroom egg, the Raptors' home court, which once had less than 50% attendance, is now hard to get a ticket.

And looking at the individual tickets that were sold for so much money before the game, Raptors fans holding team tickets now feel like they have made a lot of money.

Tonight, Raptors owner Chad personally came to supervise the game. As a result, when he entered the arena, Chad was in a trance and always had the illusion that he was in the wrong place.

Listen to the cheers like a mountain and a tsunami.

Look at that dense and colorful crowd.

"Is this really our home court?"

In the stands, after looking around the scene, Chad said to himself tremblingly.

By the way, in addition to the national live broadcast of this focus game between the Raptors and the 76ers, Datianchao TV also broadcast the game live.

Before the game, during the preview, Director Zhang smiled and said: "Tsk, it's really lively today. It seems that the fans at the scene can't wait to see Su Feng and Jordan's performance later."

On the sidelines, Director Sun also said: "In the new season, the NBA has relevant ratings statistics that show that the Raptors' previous two away games have set a new record for the NBA's ratings."

"This is what I often say, as long as your game is good to watch, your popularity will naturally be high.

And the current Raptors not only play well, they can also win. "Director Zhang added.

"Eh? The Raptors actually arranged for Tracy McGrady to start tonight?

Is Coach Davis planning on swinging from the start of the game? "When noticing the starting lineups of the two teams tonight, Coach Sun said curiously.

"Others may not dare to line up like this, but in Davis's eyes, he wants to use this swing to gain mismatch advantages on the court." Director Zhang analyzed.

After a pause, Director Zhang continued: "It seems that the Raptors' absolute height is not high, but if you look carefully at their average height, they are basically swingmen about two meters tall.

In this way, during the game, they can easily use some simple pick-and-roll cooperation on the forward and defensive lines to play their own aggressive style. "

"That's it! Thank you Director Zhang for your wonderful comments." Although he didn't understand much, Director Sun still gave a thumbs up to Director Zhang.

Shortly after Director Zhang finished his analysis, the players from the two teams also finished their warm-up and were ready to start the entrance ceremony.

I have to say that compared to the 76ers' home DJ, the Raptors' home DJ is indeed a bit low...

You said that when you introduced Boss Joe, you only used the number 24 Jordan to introduce him. It sounds like, for those who don’t know, you thought you were introducing the future Jordan...

Su Feng had made up his mind. He planned to go to Davis to report the matter after the game was over.

As the saying goes, life must have a sense of ritual.

From Su Feng's point of view, if an opening introduction like this can't even take less than 30 seconds to introduce a tool like Brother Tracy, who still has no cards, then why not go home and sell sweet potatoes?

Of course, although the sense of ceremony was a bit off, when it was Su Feng and Jordan's turn to appear on the stage, the whole stadium was still in an instant climax.

No way, for Raptors fans who now own Gundams, why do they need bicycles?

You know, Raptors fans will laugh even in their dreams now.

On the court, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, the Raptors, Ben, Su Feng, Carter, McGrady, and Jordan stepped onto the main stage talking and laughing.

In sharp contrast to the "relaxed" team atmosphere of the Raptors, this season, basically all the 76ers players are playing games with a straight face.

After Su Feng left the team, under the management of Brown, who has become increasingly strict in military management, the current atmosphere in the 76ers team can only be described as serious.

In the middle circle, Ratliff, who recently signed a big contract with the 76ers, always had a sense of deja vu before he was about to jump ball with Ben.

On the other side, after noticing the Raptors' starting five tonight, the 76ers' defensive tool Snow...

But he didn't know who he should guard against right now.

You said...

If Snow goes to guard Tracy McGrady, he can't let Iverson go against Carter, right?

But if Snow defends Carter, how can Iverson defend Tracy McGrady?

Although as an excellent defender, Snow is not afraid of getting beaten, but...

The eldest brother he wants to protect, Iverson has a lot of "crit equipment".

So, not knowing who to guard against, Snow had no choice but to look at Christie for help.

only......

Just as Snow is worried, Christie, who played for the Raptors last season, is also unfamiliar with the Raptors.

Originally, Christie was quite happy when he was traded to Philadelphia by the team as a bargaining chip.

Because no matter how happy he is in Toronto, in Christie's opinion, it would be better to go to Philadelphia to play in the playoffs.

However......

After watching the Raptors soar in the new season, Christie admitted he was sore.

"Eric, you go and defend Vince. I think Allen should be able to handle Tracy."

Of course, despite all the sourness, life has to go on.

Therefore, after calmly analyzing the situation, in Christie's opinion, on the premise that neither he nor Snow could affect the clone technique, they could only leave the Raptors' swingman with the smallest cards to Ivor. So sad.

On the bench of the 76ers, what was different from what Christie, Snow and others who were worried about their big brother's defense was that after seeing John Davis's starting five, Larry Brown was not only not surprised, but even I want to laugh a little bit.

John, is this your trick?

In Brown's view, Johnson's lineup has no advantage at all in terms of height.

Before the game, Brown, who had carefully studied the Raptors, believed that the reason why the Raptors were able to dominate in New York was entirely because Van Gundy's defense lacked pertinence.

Moreover, Ewing's poor state also caused the Knicks to lose their winning weapon that could have beaten the Raptors.

However, how can the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon?

In the defensive zone composed of Ratliff and Willis, in Brown's head rehearsal, even if Sukamacjo and others cheat, it is impossible to break in easily.

Therefore, as long as the 76ers can protect the penalty area, why should they be afraid of the Little Raptors?

In addition, on the offensive end, how can the Raptors compete with the 76ers in terms of rebounds based on their strength alone?

So, to sum up, if it weren't for the fact that he has always been too stable, in Brown's eyes, this game could even be declared over in advance.

"Young people are still young people after all."

Looking at Davis who was completely "uncomfortable" on the bench next door, Larry Brown, with his arms folded, sneered and shook his head.

At the moment when Brown issued a "death verdict notice" to the Raptors, on the court, as the referee threw the ball up in the center circle, this high-profile battle began.

Snapped----!

In the jump ball, Ratliff defeated his hometown friend Ben, and jumped for the 76ers' first attack.

Snow dribbled through half court with aplomb.

I have to say that in the 76ers' first attack tonight, you can tell at a glance that they are in the "old position."

On the court, Snow, who received the treatment of being closely guarded by the "old hooligan", did not dare to neglect. His trembling expression seemed to be that he was afraid that the basketball in his hands would be taken away by Jordan in the next second.

But actually...

The current Jordan has no problem defending the inside line, but when it comes to guarding the outside line, he is a paper tiger.

After spending a lot of time waiting for Iverson to move, the 76ers' first attack was when Iverson singled out Tracy McGrady on the wing.

And even though Brother Tracy defended the ball very seriously, Iverson's attempt to get past him was no different than drinking water.

only......

The moment Iverson passed McGrady, Su Feng moved ahead of time and completed a perfect assist defense for McGrady.

As the tallest Raptor on the field, Su Feng knew very well that it was unrealistic to expect McGrady to be able to prevent Iverson's breakthrough.

But here comes the problem.

As for the 76ers and the Raptors' swingmen, when they help each other defend on the court, do they have any psychological burden of worrying about missing someone?

Originally, Christie's three-point shots in the Raptors last season were quite wide.

But this season, in the first two games combined, this guy only made a total of 3 three-pointers.

You said that with this kind of outside threat, what if the Raptors let the 76ers shoot?

"Hey, Su Feng's help in defending this ball was so critical. Iverson was just stuck in his breakthrough line." Director Zhang said on CCTV.

"After all, Su Feng and Iverson have been teammates for two years. Not only do they know each other well, but I also know your strengths and weaknesses." On the side, Director Sun agreed.

On the court, after Iverson was blocked by Su Feng, Iverson's smiles this season were far less than last season, but Su Feng would not doubt Iverson's fighting spirit.

This ball, after dribbling twice, Iverson successfully grabbed the opportunity to take a shot.

Unfortunately, due to the interference of Su Feng's long arms, the ball finally deviated from the basket.

When——!

In the penalty area, in Brown's eyes, Ratliff and Willis, who were more dominant in height, failed to grab the offensive rebound this time.

You know, a swingman lineup like the Raptors can also do a good job in protecting rebounds.

There may be something wrong with Riley, but his judgment is absolutely correct.

The five swingmen are indeed, in a sense, the most unsolvable lineup on the basketball court.

Using quick defense and assisting defense, Ben was not the only one responsible for grabbing rebounds on the court tonight.

All five of Sukamacho have good rebound protection capabilities, and the athletic abilities of these five are even more exaggerated than the last. Therefore, even if Willis and Ratliff have a height advantage, in Sky City, they can't. Must accept air traffic control.

In Toronto, whether it can fly or not depends on the Raptors' Gundams.

On the 76ers bench, Brown did not feel any surprise after Iverson missed the first attack.

In this guy's basketball philosophy, it doesn't matter whether the offense can score.

Look, with the 76ers' retreating speed tonight, do you think the Raptors will take the lead in fast breaks?

However......

Who told Brown that this Raptors can only play fast breaks?

After Carter protected the rebound, Jordan was responsible for dribbling the ball through half court.

Because he agreed to Su Feng's relationship before the game, after casually observing the situation on the court, Jordan handed the ball to McGrady without hesitation.

According to the pre-game arrangement tonight, the Raptors have only one tactic.

That's who will play against Iverson and who will attack.

On the Raptors bench, Nash, who was used as a training target by Sukamacjo in the training session yesterday, saw this scene and secretly wiped away the tears of disappointment that flowed from the corners of his eyes.

As the saying goes, only by defending a black hole can we understand defending a black hole.

No matter how hard Iverson defends, can he still block Tracy McGrady, who is more than 20 centimeters taller than him?

When beating Iverson, Tracy McGrady made a huge breakthrough.

boom--!

On the court, after pushing against Iverson, McGrady, who was knocked out of the shooting space, opened his hand.

During the lockout, under the guidance of Su Feng, McGrady's pull-up success rate still needs to be improved, but McGrady's shooting posture is full of maple flavor.

Swish——!

This ball, with almost no interference, McGrady, who switched to training mode, successfully threw the ball into the basket.

0 to 2.

On the sidelines, Brown was a little dissatisfied now.

but......

Not a big problem.

Because Brown had carefully studied McGrady before the game. In his opinion, it was impossible for McGrady to kill the 76ers.

All right......

One is black and the other is black. Brown's judgment is indeed correct.

Because now McGrady really can't kill the 76ers.

Unlike Nash's pure defensive black hole, Iverson's defense is one that he can still resist.

Therefore, under the premise that Iverson is unlikely to be like Nash, Tracy's brother, who still needs to level up, is indeed Tracy's brother compared with Carter, who can still fight side by side with Su Qiao.

but......

Who told Brown that Tracy McGrady was going to vote for the 76ers tonight?

On the court, after Iverson missed two consecutive attacks, the Raptors counterattacked. This time, after getting the ball from Jordan, McGrady took Iverson to the high post and completed a transformation with Jordan.

There was no way, Christie, who was responsible for marking Jordan, couldn't help but switch defenses on this ball.

Because Jordan, who weighs 107 kilograms, is so solid in the pick and roll, even if you ask Christie's wife to whip him with a whip, he can't get away.

therefore......

A cruel scene occurred.

Jordan, who was more than 20 kilograms heavier than Iverson, just started from the top arc and chased Iverson all the way in...

Because Su Feng, Carter and Tracy McGrady all have a certain outside shooting range, when Jordan brutally ravaged Iverson, the 76ers' outside players did not dare to help defend.

As for the insider...

Just when Willis and Ratliff felt that Jordan had entered their defense range, as the god of singles, Jordan used his strength to explain what it meant to not even give you a chance to make up defense.

What a handsome throwback is this?

To put it bluntly, Jordan is indeed about 70% as good as Su Feng in terms of his handsomeness when he leans back.

Swish——!

0 to 4.

The Raptors started the game with two consecutive attacks.

"It seems that the Raptors are determined to attack Iverson's side." CCTV, Director Sun said.

"Iverson feels uncomfortable now. In the past, in the Raptors, Su Feng always helped him defend, but now, Snow and Christie are obviously not smart enough on defense." From the side, Director Zhang commented.

I have to say that Zhang Weiping’s guidance has revealed the truth again.

Because if Su Feng and Iverson continue to be on the same team, even if the opponent in the future puts up such a swing man lineup to beat the 76ers, Su Feng will help Iverson attack and defend.

The game where Su Feng and Iverson teamed up to sanction Payton was a classic case.

To put it bluntly, since you want to play four to protect one, the other four people except one must be prepared to sacrifice at any time.

Otherwise, what kind of four-guarantee-one game are you playing?

On the court, Iverson also failed to score on his third attack.

This time it was Carter who helped defend him.

Although Carter's angle when defending was not as tight as Su Feng's, Iverson, who was knocked out by Boss Joe just now when he was defending, still couldn't find his target with the ball.

On the court, the game continued, and this time, after Tracy McGrady protected the rebound, suddenly, Tracy's brother accelerated and directly started the one-stop mode in the backcourt.

And just when McGrady brought the ball to the frontcourt and was flanked by the retreating 76ers players, a classic scene happened.

Just like Nash said before.

It takes a hell of a lot of passing talent to pass the ball to these swingmen.

Many times, you just need to throw the ball into the sky and leave the rest to them.

certainly......

If the passer was Su Feng, it would be a different story.

Canadian Route Center, this is the connection from Sumai!

As the two people with the highest "speed talent" in Toronto, who says they can't play a 7-second fast break against the 76ers?

Don't use your tactics to understand my talent!

As he stretched his body in the air, Su Feng used his wingspan to grab the ball with one hand before Ratliff, and slammed the basketball into the basket!

At this moment, there seemed to be a meteor streaking across Toronto.

Introduction is the legendary...

————Meteor slam dunk!

Bang, swish——!

For Raptors fans who have never seen the market, at the moment Su Feng smashed the ball into the basket, do you think they could do anything other than shouting the American version of "Brother Feng Niubi" for Su Feng? What to do?

Raptors owner Chad can no longer remain calm.

At this moment, this guy is even more Cuban than Cuban.

On the court, Ratliff, who was shot down by Su Feng, had an inexplicable fear of a person for the second time in his life.

Looking at Su Feng's wild beast-like eyes, looking at Su Feng's iron fist hammering his chest, after Su Feng continuously beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking up to the sky and roaring...

Ratliff was definitely the first person on the 76ers side to feel Su Feng's anger.

At the same time, on the Raptors' bench, Curry's two sons stole the show again...

Stephen and Seth imitated Su Feng's celebrations and stole the limelight from all the Raptors substitutes in their seats on the sidelines.

Twenty years from now, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net When reviewing this game, the commenters who noticed this scene said the most, without exception:

"It turns out that there's a reason why the Raptors' substitutes don't deserve names!"

And on the pitch...

From the beginning of planning this game before the game, until now...

Although Larry Brown's expression remained calm, and although his hands were always clasped around his chest, after Su Feng ignited the atmosphere of the game with this meteor dunk, Brown's heart...

It's starting to feel a little weak.

Well, that means Su Feng was busy showing off his cruelty and had no time to pay attention to Brown's inner drama.

Otherwise, Su Feng would definitely say to him:

Don't be impatient, brother, the fun is yet to come!
