All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

"I Really Just Want to Strike Iron Novel ()" Find the latest chapter!

24th, Boston, North Shore Garden Arena.

Speaking of which, including this year, this is the fourth consecutive time the Celtics and Raptors have met in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Duncan.

Su Feng.

For the past four years, these two have been holding on to a ticket to the Finals that is the envy of the Eastern Conference.

And to quote ESPN...

There is no general manager in the East who doesn't feel despair when talking about the Celtics and Raptors.

No need to say more.

No need for foreshadowing.

As the two teams that know each other best in this league, on the evening of the 24th, as this year’s Eastern Conference Finals G1 game between the Raptors and the Celtics kicked off...

In front of the TV, almost subconsciously...

All the fans complained in their hearts:

"What kind of rubbish did I watch before?"

Whether it is the rhythm of the game, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides, or the tension displayed by the two teams on the court...

The confrontation between the Raptors and Celtics is destined to be very different from other games in terms of game content.

Big Ben, Barkley, Su Feng, Jackson, Nash.

Randolph, Duncan, Artest, Ray Allen, Marbury.

When ten players from both teams square off on the field...

To be fair, from Su Feng's perspective...

Isn't this the legendary "Hall of Fame Brawl" that you can't do even if you call up the list of legendary players in 2K?

Of course, here, since one of Jackson and Randolph has just left the Novice Village, and the other is still in the Novice Village, they are definitely incomparable to the others in terms of cards.

In addition, the 39-year-old Barkley has proven in the regular season this season that in addition to waving towels on the sidelines and intimidating opponents on the court...

Basically it's hard to do anything else.

However, this still does not prevent this series between the Raptors and Celtics from becoming a legend for the ages.

Ron Artest.

Currently recognized (Su Feng:?) as one of the best wing defenders in the league.

Ben Wallace.

The tallest and most hydrated defensive blue-collar player in NBA history.

Stephon Marbury.

The strongest offensive point guard in the Eastern Conference today. (self-proclaimed)

Ray Allen.

In Su Feng's previous life, he was the "former NBA three-point champion" who was about to be surpassed by Curry and other members of the Sun-Sky Party.

Steve Nash.

The winner of two consecutive NBA assists titles, Su Feng is the closest to a mortal NBA regular season MVP winner in time and space.

Tim Duncan.

One hundred years before and one hundred years after, the best power forward in NBA history.

Su Feng.

The undisputed future number one in NBA history. (self-proclaimed)

Just try to think about it, when you put so many good players together...

Can such a game not be fun to watch?

No bragging, no blackmail.

But any fan who knows a little bit about football and is familiar with the future historical development process sees this Celtics lineup...

He will definitely yell "NBA Finale" subconsciously.

However......

In fact, even if they succeeded in KOing the only remaining defeated Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, the Celtics have yet to win the championship.

So, what is reality?

The reality is that it will magnify things that you would never dare to think about in normal times by countless times, and then present them in front of you in the most outrageous and magical way.

On the court, in the first quarter of the game, both teams felt each other's targeted arrangements for each other.

In the regular season, since Carter was carried away by Bowen, Davis often split Su Feng into two players in games.

That is, Su Feng gets a C on the offensive end.

Looking back, on the defensive end, he also got a C.

However......

When facing Celtic...

Looking at Ray Allen who is always giving you a cold shot on the court...

Even if Davis hated him so much, he couldn't use Su Feng to guard Ray Allen.

because......

First of all, if you want to watch a "running monster" like Ray Allen die on the basketball court, not to mention how much Su Feng has to pay...

Just the "eight hundred sets of tactics" carefully designed by Miller Carr for Ray Allen could tire Su Feng to death.

Secondly, it is different from the Pistons' half-baked "one-on-four" strategy and the Nets' "double-teaming" strategy...

The Celtics, who were personally trained by Auerbach, not only have a perfect understanding of each other, but also are by no means comparable to ordinary teams in terms of defensive habits and tactical discipline.

Therefore, on the surface tonight, Davis started Barkley to let him deal with the inexperienced Randolph.

But in fact, Davis was trying to free up Jackson, who had been serving as a power forward after O'Neal Jr.'s bizarre reimbursement, to keep an eye on Ray Allen.

Although, in terms of running ability, Ray Allen is definitely better than Jackson...

However, this is the best response Davis can make at this stage.

On the other hand, unlike in the Eastern Conference semifinals when they wanted to devour the Philadelphia gangsters in one breath, after coming to the Eastern Conference finals, you can feel it through the screen...

The Celtics players have become mentally stable.

because......

Don't look at the fact that the Raptors had one more week of rest than the Celtics, but because Carter and O'Neal were reimbursed one after another...

In this series, the further we go, the more favorable the situation will be to the Celtics.

After all, anyone with a little common sense knows that in a basketball game, when one side is at a disadvantage in terms of lineup, that is what this side can do...

Few responses.

Therefore, just like last year, Auerbach is very clear that consuming Su Feng as much as possible is the Celtics' main task in this series.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why Davis used Jackson to guard Ray Allen.

because......

Once Su Feng falls, the Raptors will lose their only hope.

No way...

This is not because Davis looks down on Nash and Ben.

But these two people have their fatal flaws in the playoffs.

From a technical and experience point of view, you can only say that Nash is close to his peak in terms of organization and passing.

But from the perspective of personal attack ability, the current Nash obviously still has a long way to go before he is the "Sun King" in Su Feng's memory.

Because technology, without the accumulation of time, it is impossible for you to evolve to the point of great success.

Just like Su Feng's pull-ups and back-ups were also practiced through blacksmithing.

Therefore, even if the "Nabao" people are unwilling to admit it, they must admit it...

In the PK with Marbury last year and this year, Nash is destined to be at a disadvantage now.

And what about Daben...

You count on him to protect the rebounds.

But if you expect him to attack and defend Duncan...

In Su Feng's opinion, it might be more reliable if you buy a lottery ticket.

As for first-year Parker and the rest of the tools on the Raptors bench...

In this series between the Raptors and the Celtics, maybe they can both perform well at a certain time, but they want to be the key factor in determining the direction of this series...

That is obviously impossible.

On the court, after a fierce hand-to-hand battle between the two teams, the Raptors fell behind 21-24 in the first quarter.

Thanks to someone's excellent "demining" skills, Auerbach's ability to "lay mines" at home in the past two years can only be described as "hell".

So God knows how many dribbling experts at the North Shore Garden have complained about this over the past few years?

Well, tonight in the first quarter alone, Nash made three turnovers.

Since I often have to be careful about not being able to shoot the basketball on the court, I look at those fleeting fast break opportunities...

Nash felt bitter.

"Steve, don't worry about the mistakes."

During the break, Su Feng patted Nash on the shoulder and encouraged him.

And hearing this, I don’t know why...

Ever since the G3 game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Nash always felt that Su Feng was a different person this year.

Because if this was last year, Su Feng might have encouraged you the first two times, but when you made a mistake for the third time, he would definitely give you a "grinding glare".

However......

Su Feng, who has a good temper these days, is as if someone has penetrated his soul.

Could it be...

As the outside world said...

Is Su Feng ready to give up this year?

Ah......

give up?

What an international joke.

As the most loser in this alliance, if Su Feng wants to give up, why not let him die?

In Su Feng's basketball philosophy, even if there was only one chance in ten thousand, he would never give up.

To put it bluntly, Su Feng is in a good mood recently simply because he is about to become a father.

In fact, when he calmly analyzed the series between the Raptors and the Celtics before the game, Su Feng didn't know that even if he "comes down to earth" for N games in a row, the Raptors' chance of advancing will not exceed 30%?

Moreover, in this league, how many people understand better than Su Feng that basketball requires five people to play?

In basketball articles, the protagonist can torture a group of superstars to death by just messing up, but this is not applicable in reality.

Otherwise, how could a monster like O'Neal have only won 4 championships, and also contributed to N famous scenes of being swept in the playoffs?

Even Su Feng's previous "god-from-the-world" games were only possible because of his cooperation with this group of Raptors teammates on the court.

You know, on the basketball court, trusting each other with your teammates is never a shameful thing.

Of course, constantly blaming his teammates was not something Su Feng could do.

Because a leader who is willing to trust his teammates and be willing to back them up is a true leader.

In the second quarter of the game, when Davis arranged to play with Su Feng, whether it was the young Parker, the old Curry, or the towel hander Crone...

None of them went as predicted before the game...

Collapse on the court.

Because when they have a defensive leak on the field...

They just need to switch defenses as quickly as possible.

Because behind them...

Su Feng will definitely show up on time.

And when they can't run away from home on offense...

They just need to throw the ball to Su Feng.

Because even if there is not much time left to attack, they don't have to worry that this attack will be destroyed in their hands.

As for being unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game and making mistakes?

Ugh...

"Tony, don't always think about fighting by yourself. Learn from Steve and be patient."

"Dell, be firm, you are the most accurate three-point shooter on our team."

"Uh... Then who, you can't always rely on me and Ben. If you really can't prevent it, you have to step up and help Ben share some fouls."

In front of the TV, I looked at the fat guy on the sidelines who seriously hindered Su Feng...

At this moment, do you know how painful Riley's heart is?

"Well, if Su had fallen into my arms back then, why would he have to work so hard on the court like he does today?"

Miami, Riley said with a bitter tone.

Fortunately, from the previous meeting with Su Feng in Miami, Riley also read from Su Feng's words that he would definitely not choose to renew his contract with the Raptors.

Therefore, as long as we can win the heart of His Majesty the King in the coming summer of 2003...

By then, Pat Riley will definitely use his actions to prove to the world...

What, is Su Feng in his strongest form!

On the court, due to a week-long break in the second quarter, the sequelae of the Raptors' over-rest also appeared.

That is, due to the lack of feeling for the game, the Raptors pitchers, including Su Feng, did not feel very good.

Relying on a stable inside attack, the Celtics had extended their lead to 11 points at the end of the half.

In the first half of the game, the score between the two teams was 40 to 51.

After halftime, Davis took the initiative to change his lineup and used a lineup of Ben, Su Feng, Jackson, Parker, and Nash to fight against the Celtics.

At this time, Barkley, who had only played 11 minutes in the first half, was already beginning to doubt his life.

Because if Su Feng like this can't help him...

It can't be because you are really poisonous, right?

When you are young, you want to fight, but your teammates don't want to fight.

When I was at my peak, I thought I could hug my thigh, but I didn't expect that I would become my thigh instead.

And when I was old, I finally hugged my lap...

But at this time, how could Barkley still fight?

In the first half of the third quarter, Davis's formation changes had a certain effect.

But Auerbach quickly made adjustments.

In the second half of the third quarter, relying on Duncan's stable output in the interior, the Celtics successfully forced the Raptors to retreat into the penalty area.

As a result, on the outside, Ray Allen, who has been patiently looking for opportunities, soon came to the stage where he could perform.

If we say that this Celtics lineup is really outrageous...

In Su Feng's opinion, the most outrageous thing is probably...

Duncan and several others are perfectly compatible with this.

However, shortly after Ray Allen hit two three-pointers...

On the court, the Raptors also adjusted their defense.

"Su..."

In the North Shore Garden Arena, looking at Su Feng who signaled to switch defenses with him, at this moment, no matter how much Jackson wanted to say, he couldn't say a word.

Because on this night...

Jackson could hardly remember how many times Su Feng had stepped forward to wipe the butts of his teammates.

"Kid, you know, I thought my judgment was right." Auerbach suddenly said with emotion as he patted Miller Carr on the shoulder on the Celtics bench.

After hearing this and looking at Auerbach's tired face, Karl hurriedly helped him sit down.

"Certainly, in all my years in the NBA...

Tim has the best psychological quality I have ever seen and is the absolute core most suitable for building a team.

but......

In the past two years, do you know what Su gave me the biggest feeling? "

Looking at Karl, Auerbach asked.

Carl shook his head.

And Auerbach did not continue to choose to finish his words.

On the court, at the end of the third quarter, the Raptors were still 8 points behind the Celtics.

In the final quarter of the game, facing the Celtics' defense that was like an iron wall, coupled with the incomparable home floor, it was a pity...

Su Feng failed to lead the Raptors to complete a comeback in the final quarter this night.

In the end, the score of this game was 94 to 101.

Su Feng, who made 12 of 25 shots in the game, scored a total of 41 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block including free throws and three-pointers.

For the Celtics, Duncan scored 26 points and 15 rebounds.

After the G1 game between the two teams ended, the outside world unanimously believed that this was the game with the highest technical and tactical content in the NBA so far this season.

And New York...

When Stern noticed after the game that the media had already hyped the series between the Raptors and the Celtics...

At this moment, do you know how much Stern wants to kill that old thief Popovich with a knife?

Because without Bowen's pad...

If Carter is added to this series, wouldn't the joy be doubled?

You know, no matter how strong Su Feng's appeal is in the NBA, he is still a foreigner.

But Carter is different.

As Su Feng's deputy, he is not only the most popular NBA star in China, but also has the bonus of a local household registration in the United States.

However......

Gone.

All gone!

On this day, after the game, the more people praised this year's Eastern Conference Finals, the angrier Stern became.

…

On the 25th, the day after the G1 game of the Eastern Conference finals, in the Western Conference finals, Tracy's younger brother also ushered in his first conference finals led by him.

As a result, under someone's extremely vindictive defense...

McGrady successfully delighted the Lakers fans at Staples Center with a gorgeous performance of 5-for-19 shooting.

As the strongest team in the Western Conference that has made it to the Finals three times in the past three years, before the game, when you hear people starting to compare Tracy McGrady to Su Feng, you may not believe it...

The people who most want to refute this group of people are precisely the Lakers fans.

Because the atrocities that pervert Su Feng committed against Los Angeles will never be forgotten by the lake honeys even if they are turned into ashes!

Double burst of new super giant......

Magician in Phoenix…

That's it?

No way, no way, it's only 2002, no one really thinks that McGrady has reached the heights that Su Feng used to be, right?

Let's say Su Feng's current ability value is 95 and up.

In fact, this Tracy McGrady has grown to at least 90 years old.

only......

In terms of mental attributes, Tracy McGrady has just begun to learn to be a master...

Therefore, through some on-court details, anyone who is not a Yun fan will be able to discover that the intimidation power that Su Feng and Tracy McGrady can bring to their opponents on the court are worlds apart.

However, in this game, the Lakers successfully obtained the key to victory...

It was still because O'Neal, who was in an extremely angry state, single-handedly defeated the Suns' weak, helpless and pitiful inside group.

In this game, D'Antoni, who originally planned to use the speed of the forward group to compete with the Lakers, was beaten by O'Neal in the game and doubted his life.

Because in D'Antoni's memory...

When facing the Raptors in the past...

Only O'Neal is not so cruel at all!

All right......

It seems that D'Antoni is also impressed.

Because God knows how badly Ben was beaten by O'Neal in the Raptors' two previous Finals games with the Lakers.

It's just that in those two finals, the Raptors swept the Lakers in the end, so people forgot the terror of O'Neal.

In addition, it is unscientific for the Suns to copy the Raptors' tactics against the Lakers.

Because of the existence of Kidd and O'Neal who learned to "hold the urinal", the black technology that the Raptors used to fight the Lakers has become a thing of the past.

As for Kobe and O'Neal being angry on the court, and Kidd's negative emotions continuing to expand?

Ugh...

These three are no longer children, how can they not understand the importance of winning the championship?

In Boston, after watching the G1 game between the Lakers and the Suns in the hotel, Su Feng could roughly guess the outcome of this series.

Because in the absence of human shield...

O'Neal, who can maintain a free throw percentage above 60%, is the number one terminator in small ball play.

In addition, the Lakers' forward and defensive line composed of Kidd and Kobe are simply terrifying in terms of defensive ability.

Moreover, because the personal relationship between these two people is very good...

So in games, you can often see Kobe filling in for Kidd, or Kidd filling in for Kobe.

And in this way, these two brothers can even beat the opponent's insiders...

To a certain extent, it also allows O'Neal to be lazy on the defensive end.

In Su Feng's view, D'Antoni is still too idealistic in leading the team.

Because even the Raptors and Celtics in the East know that they need to pile fat inside...

Genima, as a Western Conference team, how dare you disrespect O'Neal so much?

If you don't sink that fat-headed fish, who will you sink?

…

On the 27th, the G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Raptors and Celtics continued at the North Shore Garden Arena.

Before the game, Su Feng successfully convinced Davis to let him be responsible for defending Ray Allen during the game.

Because Su Feng knew very well that once the Raptors were unable to cut off Duncan's connection with the outside during the game, then the role that Duncan could play on the court could only be described as lawless.

Although this move will undoubtedly speed up Su Feng's stamina loss on the court, facing this increasingly mature Eastern BOSS, Su Feng knows very well...

This is the only way the Raptors can win.

As for Su Feng's extremely ironclad decision this time...

On this night, Auerbach finally said what he had not finished in the previous game.

"He's already the best player in this league, both on and off the court."

In the G2 game, after being pulled back by the Raptors, Auerbach said this in an interview after the game.

The difference from Scott's previous attempt to assist himself by passing the blame is...

At first glance, Auerbach’s remarks seemed unremarkable.

Even before Auerbach said this, many media already viewed it this way.

But when these words come out of Auerbach's mouth...

The meaning is completely different.

Because this is not just a compliment, nor is it just a compliment to Su Feng...

This is the most heartfelt emotion expressed to Su Feng by the greatest head coach in the history of the NBA and the greatest general manager in the history of the NBA before the LOGO man.

It is true that in terms of performance on the court, Su Feng still has a long way to go before he can catch up with the silky peak Jordan.

But in terms of his ability as a leader, Auerbach believes...

Su Feng is probably the best player in NBA history...

The most perfect cornerstone for team building!

none of them.

Unfortunately, for honeys...

Compared to last season's deplorable...

The Raptors this season...

Totally disgusting.

In the end, after a round of tiebreakers where he became a father and a mother, on the evening of June 10th local time in Boston, Duncan and Randolph personally put on the hat symbolizing the Eastern Conference championship for Auerbach again.

It is worth mentioning that after the game, just when Randolph was about to take a lighter from the staff to light Auerbach's cigar, Auerbach refused.

"Let's wait until we win the championship, Zach, my boy."

This was a night filled with countless emotions for Raptors fans.

Because looking at this series, they can no longer ask Su Feng, who averaged "39+11+4+2+2" per game, to pay more for this Raptors.

But after the game, in an interview, Su Feng said:

“It’s true that we’ve had a lot of trouble this season.

But in my opinion, the main reason is that I was not strong enough, so I let everyone down. "

And shortly after Su Feng's interview ended, which made Raptors fans feel extremely heartbroken...

Raptors owner Chad also immediately called Su Feng.

"Su, don't worry, I've already said hello to Glenn (Grunward), and we'll start over next season!"

Oh, what a guy!

One thing to say, Su Feng really didn't expect that as the owner of the Raptors, the poor Chad would be so self-conscious this time.

Because the implication of Chad's words is that even if the Raptors have to pay the luxury tax next season, he will keep the Raptors' current team.

As a worker who treats people with sincerity, after seeing Chad taking such initiative, Su Feng also revealed to Chad that he would opt out of his contract through the player option in the summer of 2003.

"Su...actually, even if you don't tell me, I know that a player like you can't stay in Toronto forever.

To be honest, because my health is getting worse recently and my children prefer ice hockey, I am also planning to sell the Raptors.

But, before I sell the Raptors, seriously...

I really want to see it with my own eyes again...

The championship flag is raised at the Route Center Arena.

So, you know how angry I was when that asshole named Bruce Bowen gave Vince that kick?

Although I can't express my anger directly with actions like you...

But please believe me, Sue, I was absolutely as angry as you who punched Bruce Bowen.

In short, I respect your choice, but before you leave Toronto, can you agree to my request? "Chad said to Su Feng on the phone.

After hearing this, Su Feng felt that he had indeed met many good people in this life.

Because these capitalists, including former Philadelphia gang spokesman Pat Krause, were willing to reveal their true feelings to him instead of playing roundabout tricks with him.

only......

Just when Su Feng thought that Chad wanted him to make a choice later next summer so that he could sell the Raptors at a high price first...

Chad said to him on the phone: "Su, another child of mine will be born next year, so...

Can I ask you to bring back the damn O'Brien Trophy next season?

Because in my opinion, there is no better birthday gift in this world than an NBA championship. "

Su Feng: "..."

Nope...

You want to give birth too?

How old are you, my dear mother!

Well, if Su Feng remembers correctly, Chad's current wife seems to be in her 30s...

therefore......

Since he still wants to have children, then...

For Su Feng, after talking to Chad this time, he can better plan for the last year of his career with the Raptors.

Because after losing in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years, Su Feng, who had always been unable to afford to lose, really didn't want to lose again.

In addition, as a man who is about to become a father, why doesn't Su Feng not want to give his child a championship as a birthday gift?

In short, regrets are regrets, and regrets are regrets.

To put it bluntly, it's because I'm not strong enough.

Therefore, after being depressed for just one night, Su Feng summoned his ministers the next day to discuss his ultimate reinforcement plan for the summer.

Because this summer, the Men's Basketball World Championship will be held in Indianpolis, so in order not to delay his training in the summer, Su Feng made an appointment with the men's basketball coach Zhang Bin early...

Anyway, since the game will be played in the United States, why not bring the Chinese men's basketball team directly to Las Vegas for joint training?

And then call Kobe, McGrady, James and others over as sparring partners?

In addition to how to strengthen the team in the coming summer, Su Feng's top priority is...

They still have to discuss their future with Britney.

So, where do you think Su Feng got any time to be depressed?

And Los Angeles…

Kobe is not happy now.

Because after reaching the Finals for four consecutive years with the Lakers, Kobe has begun to fantasize about winning two consecutive championships, and has even thought about how he should complain about Su Feng and Tracy McGrady this coming summer.

However......

After taking McGrady and his Suns away, let alone seeing McGrady after the game, even when he called him, his phone was always turned off.

As for Toronto...

"Speaking of which, if O'Neal still wins runner-up this time... then he will already be 4th, right?"

On this day, while waiting for Britney's arrival, Su Feng looked back at the recent game video between the Lakers and Celtics. Su Feng always felt that in the time and space he was in now, the goddess of fate was full of hope for O'Neal. Malice.

Because judging from the new routines played by the Celtics and Raptors this year, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net and the recent game status between the Lakers and Celtics...

To be honest, in Su Feng's eyes...

Fast forward to this summer, it was only a matter of time before the three of them hugged each other to keep warm.
