All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

In September, as the players gradually returned to their normal state (shen), Davis also began to shift the training content to tactics.

The first is defensive tactics. After all, defense was the core topic surrounding the entire 1990s.

At this time, the NBA does not allow zone defense, but in fact, "pseudo zone defense" has begun to be widely used by teams.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Bulls and Jazz had a two-year Imperial City PK. The two teams restricted each other through the reasonable use of rules and the referee's turning a blind eye.

The reason why Jordan used a lot of turn-over jump shots and mid-range shots to end the offense in the last three consecutive games was not only related to his declining physical fitness...

The main reason is because these strong teams in the NBA have taken "pseudo zone defense" to the extreme.

Coupled with the HC rules, the current NBA restricted area is a "blood pool and meat forest".

Because when defending, the strong team at this time will follow the opponent's movement to shrink the penalty area.

If the opponent's team has a player with long-range strikes, the player responsible for marking him will use his body to interfere with his shooting percentage.

Coupled with the HC rules that are extremely lethal to outside players...

It can even be said that as a perimeter player, if you could finish the offense with a shooting rate of more than 45% in the 1990s...

Then the coach will let you throw as much as your physical ability is.

Davis's defensive tactics are very close to Su Feng's imagination. They are probably the same tactics used by all teams in the 1990s.

It looks like man-to-man, but actually it's a pseudo-zone defense.

But as a defensive expert, Su Feng had a hunch that if the 76ers really played like this...

The 76ers are an absolute pill.

Because of pseudo-zone defense, if your team lacks tacit understanding, you won't be able to play at all.

Reality is not fiction, no matter how good the tactics are, they still need to be tempered.

When players complement each other, when to switch defenses, and even how far they slide, they all need to have a chemical reaction first.

Therefore, the powerful players in the 1990s would not easily change their lineup structure.

Davis's defensive tactics obviously lacked protection for Iverson.

Su Feng, who knew Iverson's defensive ability thoroughly, knew very well that as long as Iverson was targeted by his opponent, it would only lead to a mutual explosion at best.

Of course, the current Su Feng is just an ordinary rookie, and as a professional usurper, Su Feng is very aware of his current position.

"Being smart and sensible" is the character Su Feng should establish in the team now.

After explaining the defensive tactics, Davis was even less creative on the offensive end.

The only good thing is that, just like Su Feng remembered, this guy doesn't restrict players from shooting three-pointers.

This has something to do with the short three-point line in the NBA in the 1996/97 season...

It’s also related to Davis’ belief that with players like Iverson, the team “should” be able to create a lot of scoring opportunities.

It is worth mentioning that Xia Tian was trained by Fraser...

During training, although Su Feng's running and positioning were still lagging behind those of experienced NBA players, his overall performance satisfied the 76ers coaching staff.

Especially in Davis's view, Su Feng's "neither noisy nor noisy" character is simply the greatest support for him, a tool man.

"Su, I plan to have you come on as a substitute in the preseason and play 25 minutes per game."

On this day, after training, Davis took the initiative to find Su Feng for a private chat.

Su Feng nodded "obediently".

"Don't worry, I will properly arrange some low-post singles tactics for you, as well as some running tactics, so that you can use your talents as much as possible."

Su Feng's "sensibleness" made Davis' favorability towards him continue to rise, so...

Davis continued: "Your mid-range shooting training is good. I don't object to you shooting three-pointers, but I hope you can increase your mid-range shots."

Su Feng continued to nod "obediently".

Su Feng knew that Davis was deliberately developing himself into the 76ers' second offensive point.

Although there is still a long way to go before getting "unlimited blacksmithing rights", "reasonable blacksmithing rights" is also excellent in Su Feng's opinion.

…

Time flies, and the 26th is here in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Su Feng accepted an exclusive interview with NBC TV.

The person responsible for interviewing Su Feng was John Williams, the host of the NBC basketball program.

When greeting Su Feng, Williams smiled and said a Mi Li family slang, which translated means "good wine takes a long time to brew."

It has to be said that as the host of NBC's basketball show, Williams' emotional intelligence and way of speaking are different from those tabloid reporters who can only criticize.

Williams' words meant to praise Su Feng, and at the same time, he also hinted at Su Feng:

The interview was pushed back again and again not because of what we thought, but because you played so well.

After the interview began, Williams asked with a smile: "Su, as the first Chinese player to enter the NBA, do you think this status will bring pressure to you?"

It was clear that Williams had done his homework before arriving.

As the hope of the whole village, would you say there is a lot of pressure?

I saw Su Feng calmly answer with the English version of "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight", and then added: "Actually, I once thought about giving up."

"Oh?" Williams felt that the point was coming, and looked at Su Feng curiously.

"Fortunately, when I wanted to give up, I met Kobe.

At Lower Merion, the days when Kobe and I got up early, the times when we stayed up late and worked hard, when we felt like you could never stand up again because of exhaustion...

I think what keeps me going is the power of dreams. "

"If making history is easy, why should people bother to do it?" Su Feng looked at Williams and said "sincerely".

And I don’t know why, as a host who has interviewed countless basketball stars, Williams feels like the fire in his chest at this moment...

was lit.

No way, in the 1990s, Chicken Soup for the Soul was so amazingly powerful.

What's more, is this the "Mamba Chicken Soup" that will inspire countless people in the future?

"Are you afraid of boos during games?" Williams asked after a long silence.

"My best friend Kobe once told me, if you boo, will you be blocked?" Su Feng replied.

“We all know that you have a great relationship with Allen.

He even said in an interview that the team chose him to assist you, and he also called you ‘The King’.

So do you think your current strength is worthy of such a nickname? "Williams asked again.

"That's just Allen joking. In fact, the nickname he gave me at first was 'The Flash'." Su Feng said with a smile while doing Tai Chi.

"What are the reasons for you to skip college and play in the NBA?"

Williams felt that Su Feng's answer was too "greasy". Is this really just an 18-year-old kid?

"I want to fight Michael Jordan." Su Feng replied calmly.

Upon hearing Su Feng's answer, Williams' eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh, no matter how treacherous you are, you still have to drink my foot-washing water. Young man, you still can’t bear your temper...

"It's rare to see young people as confident as you." Williams smiled.

"Of course, because the best player right now is Michael Jordan.

So as a basketball player, if you don't want to compete with him, what's the difference between you and a salted fish? " Su Feng replied.

Williams: "..."

What you said makes sense, and I can't refute it.

Dreams are priceless!

Williams knew that this question not only did not stump Su Feng, but instead made him...

Inexplicably...

There was an admiration for him.

Because the strength Su Feng showed at this time was really too high.

"Do you think you can help the 76ers turn around their record?" After asking a few more questions, Williams asked his last question before the interview ended.

"Will or won't be revealed until the season starts, I never make promises that don't make sense.

But I can tell you that I get up at four o'clock in the morning to practice, not to score a ball on the court, nor to complete a block.

I love basketball, that's all. " Su Feng replied.

Williams fell silent.

As a basketball host on NBC, he felt that the person he was interviewing was not an 18-year-old at all.

He is mature and experienced, and every answer will make you feel that he has given it after careful thinking.

“Is this ‘The.king’?”

Looking at Su Feng's handsome face, Williams joked after the interview: "If I want to find someone to do business with in the future, you will definitely be my first choice as a partner."

Although Williams' compliment always sounded strange to Su Feng, since it was a compliment, Su Feng didn't take it seriously.

An 18-year-old genius high school student with a mature and sophisticated character, he will definitely become a shrewd businessman even if he doesn't play basketball...

After interviewing Su Feng, this was the biggest feeling Su Feng gave Williams.

…

It will take some time for Su Feng's exclusive interview to be broadcast. In September, after eating and sleeping happily and beating Jerry, the arrival of October also means that the 96/97 NBA season is about to begin. .

The 76ers' first preseason game will start on the 7th, against the Bucks.

At this time in 1996, the preseason games were not broadcast. After nearly a month of adjustment and the layoff of several temporary workers as coaches, the 76ers coaching staff initially decided on the team's roster for the new season.

The 76ers preseason roster for the 1996/97 season is as follows:

Center: Scott Williams, Hendrickson, Mark Blanco.

Power forward: Witherspoon, Michael Cage, Ben Wallace.

Small forwards: Don Macron, Mark Davis, Su Feng.

Shooting guards: Stackhouse, Rex Waters, Lucious Harris.

Point guards: Iverson, Frank King, Doug Overton.

Overall, this is a list that even an old NBA fan who has watched football for more than 20 years will never know the whole list.

When Ben signed up, the team assigned him the power forward position because his afro was not enough to convince everyone that he was 206 centimeters tall.

Su Feng's registration position is small forward because his height is the most "real".

When taking a family photo of the team, Su Feng was about the same size as the 76ers' three power forwards...

Take Cage for example. This guy's registered height is 206 centimeters, but in fact he is only 203 centimeters at most when wearing shoes.

The most fortunate thing for Su Feng now is that he met Ben by chance in the summer. Otherwise, looking at the 76ers' forward line, he might really be pulled to play as a guest power forward.

Of course, not everyone is tall enough to have moisture.

For example, Don Macron, a striker suffering from injuries, is actually 208 centimeters tall.

In the second season of his career, Macron, who was high-spirited at the time, averaged 18 points per game on 50% shooting.

Unfortunately, Marklen's attributes do not include endurance. In the past two seasons, he missed a total of 69 games.

In Su Feng's memory, this guy didn't play for a long time in the 96/97 season, and he was an out-and-out glass man.

In Su Feng's previous life, some people always said that Iverson was not patient enough.

But in fact, Iverson is quite durable compared to most people.

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the new season, Davis also expressed his hope that the team's record could surpass last season's performance during a meeting.

Davis did not chant slogans about making the playoffs in vain.

Because in the new season's strength rankings, the 76ers are currently ranked 25th.

If Davis shouted the slogan of reaching the playoffs, the players would be the first to send him to a mental hospital.

What kind of international joke are you kidding me? We are a bad team like ours, and you want me to compete with the powerful players in the Eastern Conference?

At this moment, the alliance is still in a pattern where the east is strong and the west is weak.

In the 1996/97 season, the Washington Bullets, ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, won 44 games, while in the Western Conference, the threshold for reaching the playoffs was much lower...

A bad team like the Clippers managed to win 36 games and still make it into the playoffs.

There are many powerful players in the Eastern Conference. After reading the schedule, Su Feng felt that every game was a tough battle for the current 76ers.

…

On the 7th, the 76ers played their first game against the Bucks in the preseason.

Su Feng met Ray Allen again...

and his big brother.

The Bucks with Glenn Robinson and Vin Baker belong to the kind of team whose lineup looks good, but in actual play, each just wants to rack up statistics.

Ray Allen's reasonable style of play is simply an anomaly on this team.

Fortunately, Robinson is not interested in improving statistics in the preseason, and Vin Baker is also ineffective.

With the big guys paddling, Ray Allen got a lot of performance opportunities.

The Ray Allen of this period is not the Ray Allen of the future.

This is Ray Allen equipped with Speed.Boost. If you dare to let him go, he will attack you.

In this game, the 76ers sent out a starting five of Williams, Witherspoon, Marklen, Stackhouse, and Iverson.

After the game started, Iverson used his speed to continuously attack the Bucks' interior.

The Bucks' starting guard Sherman Douglas quickly found a countermeasure after being successfully attacked by Iverson.

He in turn formed a mutual explosive situation with Iverson.

Neither Macron nor Stackhouse had any desire to defend Iverson.

The former is moving too slowly, and the latter is thinking that since Su Feng is not here, he should be the main attacking point.

Su Feng, who was sitting on the bench, found that his teammates on the court were already criticizing Iverson's style of play.

Although Witherspoon thought that he would not work hard, but almost half of the game started, he actually only touched the ball 4 times...

If he keeps playing like this, Witherspoon feels that his statistics in the new season will be terrible.

Davis has always been a young tool man. He called two timeouts and found that the players playing on the court were not at all the tactics he had arranged before the game.

As one of the builders of the Bulls' first dynasty, Williams is good at protecting backcourt rebounds, but he plays crazy on the outside of the team...

Looking at the rebounding data, Williams can only regret that he does not have the rebounding talent like Rodman.

"It's strange, Allen didn't play so alone in the summer league..."

On the bench, assistant coaches Jason and Rick were a little confused.

In fact, Iverson didn't play alone, but he and his teammates didn't call at all.

Stackhouse only wanted to prove himself in singles;

Macron is very afraid of physical confrontation after multiple serious injuries;

Witherspoon had other things on his mind;

There is not even a player on the field who can play pick-and-roll with Iverson. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net In the eyes of the highly motivated Iverson, what else can he do besides breaking out on his own?

And today the Bucks' Ray Allen played very well with the two big brothers paddling. In this kind of civil war between the 96th lottery picks, who doesn't want to dominate the other side?

Just like that, with 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the away 76ers were already trailing 14-25.

"Su, after the ball is dead for a while, you go and replace Don (Maclen)."

Davis has nothing to do. If it doesn't work, just grind it out while playing...

On the side, when Su Feng heard the head coach calling him, he "obediently" walked to the technical stage.
