I really just want to strike

Looking up at Ewing, Ward did not refuse Ewing's last request.

In fairy tales, many of us have heard stories about heroes fighting back against evil bosses at the last moment.

But on this night, the fairy tale does not belong to Knicks and Ewing.

A few minutes later, when Patrick Ewing was replaced by Don Cheney, what he got was neither the applause and cheers in the fairy tale, nor the embrace of the blonde girl...

Rather, the resounding resounding...

American "get out".

20 points and 8 rebounds were the answers given by Ewing when he was replaced.

In this way, the "gorilla", one of the top 99 NBA superstars, who used to have a peak contest with Olajuwon in the finals, ended his entire journey in the 00/[-] season amidst boos.

What's worth mentioning is that on the Raptors' side, when Su Feng was replaced, what the bewildered Knicks fans gave him was...

Like the cheers of Napoleon's cavalry arriving in Paris.

The supreme Majesty Su Feng arrived in New York, which has been loyally supporting him, today!

In the end, 95 to 116, the Raptors eliminated the Knicks with a big score of 3 to 0 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After the game, online fans complained about Su Feng's performance in the first round of this year's playoffs.

因为在与尼克斯的三场比赛里，苏枫场均仅能拿到22分、7个篮板、2次助攻、2次抢断和1次盖帽。

Of course, the point of the fans' complaints was not that Su Feng's performance was not good enough...

Rather...

If the fight continues like this, the honeys are very worried that Su Feng will be mistaken for a bastard.

"The Raptors are really too strong, so strong that even without Su Feng making a move, their opponent has already fallen."

"This season, many people are saying that Su Feng lacks the shots at critical moments.

But now the question is, will Su Feng have a chance to play at a critical moment? "

"In my opinion, maybe Shaq was more intuitive on the court.

But have you ever thought about why such a Shaq always has to fight his opponent until the last few minutes to decide the winner? "

"There is no doubt that Su Feng is the player who is most worthy of the MVP! Also, for this year's best coach, I will vote for John Davis!"

There is one thing to say, although the Internet at this time is not as developed as it will be in the future, but seeing the interaction of fans on the Internet, don't tell me, Su Feng is quite happy.

only......

Looking at these familiar comments, Su Feng always felt that after Curry entered the league in the future, it would be difficult for him to surprise people in this regard.

Because, his Uncle Su Feng had already done all this in 2000.

……

After successfully advancing to the semifinals, the Raptors have to wait a little bit for their semifinal opponents.

Because on the other side, the Pistons and the Heat fought 2-2 in the first four games.

In Su Feng's previous life, relying on a solid defensive system, the Heat did not give the Pistons too many opportunities.

However, in this life, due to historical changes, the overall strength of the Pistons can no longer be measured by the same period of history.

After the veteran Dumars retired, this season, the Pistons' second-year student Hughes averaged 16.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the regular season.

As Grant Hill's right-hand man, Hughes' rapid growth not only reduces the pressure on Hill on offense, but also on defense, Hughes is also a very reliable defender.

In addition, as the right arm of Hill's right-hand man, in this life, Stackhouse, whose confidence is soaring, can always stand up at critical moments.

In addition, Joe Smith, who won the championship with the Raptors last year and broke his demons...

To be reasonable, in Su Feng's opinion, Riley is really awesome.

Because facing such a Pistons that set off a youth storm, the Heat relied on their tenacious willpower and strict discipline to force the Pistons into the final battle of life and death.

Strong!

Riley!

Otherwise, if you work harder, you can eliminate this piston by the way?

Cough, well, Su Feng's beautiful fantasy still failed to become a reality in the end.

On May 5th, while the Raptors were resting and waiting patiently for their opponents in the Eastern Conference semifinals, at the American Airlines Center Arena in Miami, another super center of the 4s fell...

Relying on the excellent performance of the three guns from outside to score 70 points, the Pistons had the last laugh in the decisive battle with the Heat.

The shot of Mourning refusing to be replaced by Riley in the fourth quarter has also become a classic.

At that time, because the Heat had trailed the Pistons by as many as 3 points when the game was about to end with only 20 minutes left, Riley decided to replace Mourning in order to save Mourning's last face.

However, for Iron Man Mourning, he didn't want such a face at all.

"I can still fight! Don't replace me!"

On the sidelines, looking at the persistent Mourning, Riley finally chose to respect the fighter's decision after heaving a long sigh.

Of course, unlike a certain background board in New York, because Mourning did not give up at the last moment, the Miami fans at the scene were all infected by Mourning's spirit.

At the end of the game, Heat fans stood up and gave Mourning their applause.

As for TNT TV station, Smith couldn't help but joked: "I don't know how Patrick will feel after seeing this scene?"

uh...

What else do you think about Ewing?

Could it be that he could still shed tears on the plane?

Closer to home.

After the Pistons advanced to the semifinals and joined forces with the Raptors, this year's Eastern and Western semifinals have all been released.

The first is the Eastern Conference. In addition to the series between the Raptors and the Pistons, the Celtics and the Pacers also met in the other half.

After the matchup between the Celtics and the Pacers was released, many people in the market were very curious about whether Bird could lead the Pacers to kill his mentor and old club.

In the West, after the Mavericks eliminated the Spurs 3-1 and the Lakers eliminated the Sonics 3-0, the two teams will compete for a ticket to the Western Conference Finals in the Western Conference Semifinals.

As for the other half of the West, the Jazz will face the Trail Blazers.

Because starting from the semifinals, the 5-game 3-win format will become a 7-game 4-win relationship, so for the eight teams that entered the Eastern and Western semifinals, the next game is the real test.

Especially those aspiring to the championship team.

In a 7-game 4-win game, they often not only have to face the opponent in front of them, but also whether they can advance ahead of their opponents in the next round is the key to whether they can go to the end.

According to the schedule, the divisional semifinals between the Raptors and the Pistons will start on the 6th.

In terms of the team's physical condition, the Raptors are undoubtedly the better side.

After all, after eliminating the Knicks, the Raptors players have been resting for almost a week.

In contrast, the Pistons, who have just finished a life-and-death battle with the Heat, only have one day to rest.

Therefore, after the results of the semifinals of the playoffs were announced, Davis, D'Antoni, and Rivers all believed that the Raptors had no excuse for losing in the G1 game.

On the 5th, the Raptors did not arrange training, and Davis hoped that the team would be in the best condition to make a good start to the semifinals.

On the 6th, the Raptors ushered in their own G1 game in the semifinals of this year's playoffs in the crowded Airline Center Arena.

Before the game, during the warm-up, Stackhouse, Hill, and Joe Smith all took the initiative to greet Su Feng.

Because both Stackhouse and Joe Smith had been teammates with Su Feng, they both jokingly told Su Feng during the chat before the game that they had told the head coach of the Pistons about Su Feng's weaknesses. Rick Carlisle.

As for this, even though it was a joke, this conversation made Su Feng more vigilant.

Because Su Feng, who knows the future history very well, knows that Carlisle is by no means an ordinary person.

In Su Feng's previous life, as one of the future coaches of the NBA, after arriving in Dallas in the 08/09 season, Carlisle not only quickly cleaned up the mess left by the little general Johnson, but also led the team that was not defeated in the 10/11 season. The bullish Mavericks beat the Heat in the Finals.

In addition, although Rasheed Wallace was indeed ordered by Larry Brown, if there were no Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Prince and others left by Carlisle, even if Brown would build a defensive system again, I am afraid That Pistons is also difficult to leave a name in history.

Moreover, Carlisle, who is good at building teams, is not the kind of stubborn academic coach.

This season, after he took over the team's coach from Alvin Gentry, the Pistons' three-point attempts and hits ushered in a qualitative leap.

In Carlisle's coaching resume, three-pointers have always been a weapon he likes very much.

Of course, unlike offensive coaches like D'Antoni and Nelson, Carlisle is also very good at building a team's defensive system because the balance of offense and defense is the kingly way Carlisle pursues.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the 10/11 season, the Mavericks at that time built a wall of sighs around Tyson Chandler that made the emperor and Wade despair.

Therefore, in Su Feng's mind, Carlisle's danger level can definitely be ranked among the top five in today's league.

"Hey, is this the world line's punishment for me?"

On the court, during the warm-up, watching Carlisle who coached the Pistons two years earlier, at this moment, Su Feng couldn't help but feel the bitterness of changing history without authorization.

Due to Carlesimo's incompetence in this life, Carlisle, who should have been his assistant coach, also decided to become the head coach in advance.

Coincidentally, because Carlisle's coaching philosophy coincides with that of the Pistons, Gentry led the team just after a wave of losing streak this season...

What Gentry never expected was that this wave of losing streaks not only did not allow him to get interest, but also caused him to directly lose his position as the Pistons.

In short, compared to last year, starting from the semifinals this year, the Raptors will face a strong challenge.

On the court, after chatting with Hill for a few minutes, Su Feng also returned to the bench, quietly waiting for the entrance ceremony.

In Su Feng's previous life, when many Hill boasted about Hill, Su Feng would always feel that these people were exaggerating.

But this life...

You may not believe it.

Now the number one hill in this league is blowing...

It was Su Feng himself.

In the regular season, Hill, who averaged 26 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, may not be able to compare with many juniors after the era of skyrocketing data in the future.

However, please don't doubt Hill's strength because of this.

Because, this is definitely a top-level supercar whose ejection speed is faster than McGrady.

Due to his overly gentlemanly personality, many Hill fans, like Hill, don't like to argue with others about how strong Hill is.

But for Su Feng, who regarded Hill as an idol in the early years, even if he has developed a "three-piece suit" in the past four years, he will not think that his strength is far beyond hope. above you.

Long before the first round of this year's playoffs, Su Feng had already foreseen the difficulty of this year's semi-finals.

In the route center arena, after the on-site DJ Martin finished his introduction to the players of the two teams on the field tonight with his subwoofer-like voice, the big screen on the scene gave the starting list of the two teams tonight.

Pistons: Terry Mills, Joe Smith, Hill, Stackhouse, Hughes.

Raptors: Big Ben, Jr., Su Feng, Carter, McGrady.

TNT TV station, during the pre-match preview, Smith said: "Tonight's two teams in the starting lineup, no player is taller than 210 centimeters. This is the first time in this year's playoffs."

On the side, Derek echoed: "For a long time, tall players have dominated the league, but since the Raptors won the championship with a small lineup last year, this year we found that many teams have begun to follow suit. Raptors."

In the center of the court, Big Ben and Mills have already stood in the middle circle.

And a few seconds later, a scene that surprised McGrady appeared.

because......

Tonight's first offense turned out to be the Raptors!

……

Chapter 3 The best time, the best opponent!

Gangzhen, if you translate McGrady's mood into Internet language...

What McGrady wants to say the most at this moment is definitely one sentence:

Big Ben, jump ball drop God!

On the court, after Tracy McGrady held the ball and advanced through the half court, the Raptors players who were already preparing to deploy their defenses also arrived in the frontcourt.

I have to say that although Carlisle is still a little lacking in his experience at this moment, compared with the previous Knicks coach Don Cheney, Carlisle's defensive formation tonight is a serious study. Over the Raptors.

The Raptors opened the first attack. When Ben made a high screen for McGrady, Mills and Hughes directly formed a double attack on McGrady.

And this, in previous Raptors games, is almost impossible to happen.

Because although Daben lacks the ability to attack independently, it doesn't mean that he can't play the simplest flop.
