Tian Zhi Jiao Zi, the next Su Feng... Even to this day, James still remembers the summary ESPN made on its official website the year he entered the draft:

The '03 generation has many geniuses.

But only LeBron James is destined to surpass Su Feng.

However, as time passed...

When James recalled that comment ten years later...

A feeling of powerlessness instantly enveloped his body made of steel and iron.

In the NBA.

You can criticize James for not playing well.

You can also criticize him for passing the blame to his teammates in certain games.

You can even criticize him for failing to live up to people's expectations.

But, if you criticize James for not working hard enough, for not being disciplined enough...

Then while you are criticizing him, you are basically criticizing all NBA players.

Shut your mouth and move your legs.

In Cleveland and Oakland, during those hot summers...

Pushing truck tires, shirtless, constantly desperately challenging his own limits, James never slacked off in any training session.

However, no matter how hard he tried...

No matter how desperately he played.

That man standing at the top of the four or five hundred NBA players was still out of reach.

If James had fantasized ten years ago that he could one day surpass Su Feng.

Then ten years later, James, who had already realized that he could not have a future without defeating the man in front of him, had already recognized reality!

Staples Center, Lakers offense.

The previous second, Su Feng had just circled out from the wing to receive the ball.

The next second, Jiba, who was responsible for guarding him before, and James, who was responsible for guarding him at this moment, quickly completed the encirclement of him.

Now that Kobe is off the court.

Then the Lakers' next offensive burden will definitely be handed over to Su Feng.

Without hesitation.

Almost instantly, James made the most correct judgment on the situation on the court.

And looking at these two dark, hard, ultimate muscle men on the court...

At this moment, in Su Feng's opinion, even if Jordan and Pippen could be "reincarnated" to play another game with him, that would be it.

But, do you think that's the end of it?

On the court, watching Su Feng, who was still trying to find a gap in the double-team, the third Warriors player also quickly moved towards this side.

One James is not enough.

Then add a Jimmy Butler.

If that's not enough...

Then add a Klay Thompson!

For the God of Basketball, this is the sincerity the Warriors offer!

Su Feng, facing such defense, do you still want to, can you still choose to do it yourself?

"I know that choosing to double-team Su will inevitably leave other Lakers players open on the court.

But, I don't think other Lakers players can fill Su's gap in scoring." On the Warriors' bench, standing calmly on the sidelines, "Baldy Coach" Van Gundy said to himself.

As a scoring machine that surpasses history.

In Van Gundy's view, Su Feng's scoring is not just a simple number.

Because his scoring efficiency and true shooting percentage are too outrageous...

Therefore, in this series, in addition to trying every means to increase Su Feng's shooting cost.

The Warriors have also prepared a new "Su Feng Rule" for the Lakers.

That is...

Launch an attack on him at all costs.

Without a doubt.

This is a defensive system that no other team can imitate its essence, no matter how hard they try.

Because this new "Su Feng Rule" defensive system is based on the Warriors' other players having strong offensive firepower, which can in turn suppress the other Lakers players.

In other words...

On the surface, this is a defensive system aimed at Su Feng.

In fact, this is an offensive system that fully exploits the Warriors' offensive characteristics.

On the court, Green just received a pass from Su Feng and broke through to the basket to score two points.

The Warriors immediately regained the two points through a fast break by Klay.

"In the NBA, the reason why stars receive different salaries from ordinary players.

It is precisely because stars have the ability to perform at a super level for many consecutive games.

Maybe, in this series, other Lakers players will play unexpectedly in some games.

But from the perspective of a series that is likely to go to 7 games...

The Lakers still have to rely on Su and Kobe.

Tyronn, your strategy tonight really surprised me.

But unfortunately, as an assistant coach for this Lakers team during the Lakers dynasty...

I am the one who will break you and this Lakers team!" On the Warriors' bench, after glancing at Terry, Kirilenko, Artest, Chandler, and Ray Allen sitting on the bench... (Note 1)

A smile like a victor had already appeared on Van Gundy's lips.

Back on the other end, the Lakers have possession.

It's the same situation as just now.

As soon as Su Feng wanted the ball...

The Warriors players rushed towards him desperately.

For Su Feng, whose vision ability is as high as 120...

After being double-teamed, as long as the opponent leaves him a passing angle, he can easily pass the ball out.

But at this moment...

On the Lakers' bench, both Coach Lue and Kobe are very clear...

If Su Feng's personal offense on the court is repeatedly blocked.

Then even if he can make 9 correct choices in 10 defenses...

The Lakers are also equivalent to a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

On the perimeter, under pressure, Green received a pass from Su Feng and punished the Warriors' crazy double-team of Su Feng with a three-pointer.

However, the Warriors, who were not affected much at all, decisively completed a quick baseline inbounds again.

Green can score.

Stephenson can also score.

Gasol can also score.

Even if necessary, Rondo can also score in the paint.

But after losing Su Feng's high-efficiency scoring...

Can the other Lakers players really fill Su Feng's nearly 40-point scoring gap in each game since entering the playoffs for seven consecutive games?

Yes.

From the perspective of a team's scoring composition.

Even if Su Feng doesn't play these seven games, the Lakers' average score will not directly deduct Su Feng's 40 points like doing a math problem.

But...

Who told you that Su Feng's scoring is just an ordinary addition and subtraction problem for this Lakers team?

You must know that the 40 points Su Feng scores every night are scored with a true shooting percentage of nearly 70%.

Therefore, as long as the Warriors can effectively limit Su Feng's scoring, then the Lakers, who cannot fill this 40-point gap with the same efficiency, will inevitably have to try more shots on the court.

And in this way...

"In addition to the rhythm of the game becoming more and more biased towards us.

As long as the Lakers fail to withstand the pressure at a certain stage...

Then it will be our turn to take the game away in one wave!" On the Warriors' bench, Van Gundy's eyes sparkled.

Swish—!

Warriors offense.

A three-pointer from Yao Ming in transition.

In this play, because the attention of the Lakers' retreating players was all on Curry, Klay, and others...

Therefore, when Little Yao leisurely arrived at the three-point line, there was no one guarding him in front of him.

"Fortunately, someone has retired.

Otherwise, Big Yao would have beaten him into autism tonight?" TNT TV, looking back at a behemoth hiding in the corner drawing circles, Barkley laughed.

"Although Mark can use his shooting range to move Big Yao away from the inside when attacking.

But he seems to have forgotten that Big Yao also has a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7% throughout his career." Smith, who couldn't bear to stab Shaq's younger brother again, hurriedly changed the subject.

"Tyronn, there is no such word as defense in my dictionary!" On the sidelines, Van Gundy, who had already sat back on the bench, laughed with his legs crossed.

Attack!

Attack!

Still attack!

From the regular season all the way to the playoffs, conquer the league with the most extreme offense!

This...

This is the basketball belief that his "New Mad Scientist" Jeff Van Gundy has adhered to throughout his life.

There is no concept of defense.

Or rather, there is no need for the concept of defense.

Because in basketball, a sport that is about who scores more points.

When your offense is enough to crush all defenses...

Offense is the best defense!

Staples Center.

On the Lakers' bench, Kobe couldn't sit still anymore.

Because at this moment, Kobe knew that only by letting Su Feng play off-ball could he resolve his dilemma after receiving the ball, so after adjusting his breathing, Kobe decisively stood up.

Kobe, who has extremely high basketball IQ, is very clear that although Rondo is the unsung hero of this Lakers team that was able to get 78 wins and 4 losses in the regular season...

But right now, because Rondo doesn't have the shooting range to create space for Su Feng, even if Rondo knows how to pass the ball to Su Feng, in the face of the Warriors' impenetrable defense...

It's all to no avail.

And after Kobe and Kobe looked at each other for a few seconds, just as Coach Lue was about to make a decision, behind Kobe, a sleepy figure suddenly pressed him back onto the bench.

"Leave the important task of passing the ball to Su to me!"

Looking at Coach Lue and Kobe, after smiling and showing his big front teeth, Chauncey Billups got up and walked towards the technical table.

Before the Lakers-Warriors game, even the most casual fans knew that this was a series that the Lakers could only win if Su Feng and Kobe played well.

But when Jeff Van Gundy's strategic focus was all tilted towards Su Feng.

He forgot...

Even if, as he said, all the other Lakers players combined could not fill Su Feng's scoring gap.

But...

Why do the other Lakers players have to fill the scoring gap left by Su Feng?

TNT TV, O'Neal, who had been depressed since the start of this game, suddenly said, "The Warriors have to be careful!"

Barkley and Smith looked at O'Neal inexplicably.

Only Stoudemire, who had cooperated with O'Neal and Su Feng in the Heat, nodded thoughtfully.

On the court, because Rondo's passing intentions were too obvious, James cut the ball out of bounds, and the Lakers requested another substitution.

Rajon Rondo is out.

Chauncey Billups is in.

"Is he trying to use Chauncey's experience to control the rhythm of the game?

But Tyronn, Chauncey can't control the rhythm of this game alone." On the Warriors' bench, Van Gundy smiled as he looked at Coach Lue on the Lakers' bench.

However, soon...

Van Gundy could no longer laugh.

On the court, after the Lakers inbounded the ball, under Billups' calm command, the other Lakers players, who understood his intentions, quickly began their movement on the court.

In the off-ball state, the Warriors cannot double-team Su Feng.

And since he, Billups, could turn Anthony, who was almost turned into "poison melon", into "real fragrant melon"...

Then what's more, Su Feng, the original "sweet melon"?

Sorry.

Steve Nash, who is watching the show over there.

Tonight, I, Chauncey Billups, just want to prove...

With a teammate like Su Feng...

Mere assist king...

Who can't pad stats?

Lowering his center of gravity is not to expect his old legs to complete a breakthrough.

It's just to deliver a heavy, cannon-like pass to that man when he comes out.

As for whether he can receive it?

Are you kidding me...

In this world, is there any pass that that man can't receive?

On the left wing at a 45-degree angle, looking at the pass that Billups sent him, which would definitely turn into an error if anyone else received it, Su Feng, who jumped up with the ball, almost made a shooting posture at the same time as he received the ball.

In this play, even if James quickly got around Marc Gasol's huge body, he couldn't interfere with Su Feng!

"Listen to the sound of the basketball swooshing through the net, guys!

Look, in the NBA, completing an assist is so simple and easy."

On the other side, as the basketball in Su Feng's hand drew a beautiful arc, Billups also turned around and spread his hands, looking at the Warriors' bench.

Nash: "......"

I feel like you're targeting me!

But unfortunately, I don't have any evidence!

Swish—!

"The so-called team basketball is not that all five players on the court can score, that's called team basketball." On TNT TV, O'Neal recalled that Heat team and said with emotion.

"Everyone for me, me for everyone!

This is the Miami Heat back then!" And Stoudemire, who rarely reached a consensus with O'Neal, also added to it.

The first decade of the 21st century.

There was such a team.

Clearly you knew that they would pass the ball to Su Feng next.

But you just couldn't defend it.

Because Pat Riley, who loved Su Feng to the point of wanting to tattoo a big head of Su Feng on some part of his body, spent several years building a team for him that served him completely, but also cooperated tacitly and was a model of modern team basketball:

The Miami Heat!

In addition to Billups, who was responsible for passing the ball to Su Feng.

The other Lakers players made indelible contributions to Su Feng's final blow in the offense just now.

On the Warriors' bench, it was Van Gundy's turn to sit still.

And on TNT TV, after the Warriors regained two points with a layup from Little Zhan Zhan, looking at O'Neal and Stoudemire, who were looking at each other affectionately, Barkley asked curiously, "If it were the Heat back then...

Next, how would they play?"

Hearing this, after smiling, O'Neal and Stoudemire said in unison, "Just follow the king's banner!"

On the court, Lakers offense.

But I saw Billups use his hands to rub out a pass like a cannon!

The next second, Su Feng used his beautiful catch-and-shoot...

Called a timeout for the Golden State Warriors!

Staples Center, cheers erupted!

On the sidelines, Abby, who was sitting next to Britney, said excitedly, "That's Su, no matter how difficult the situation is, he can't be defeated!"

And after smiling at Abby, Britney raised the corners of her mouth and said, "That's for sure, after all, this is my man!"

On the Lakers' bench, looking at Su Feng, who had scored two three-pointers in a row, "Boss Kobe", who was already smiling from ear to ear, not only handed over a towel at the first time, but also hurriedly presented a cup of sports drink to Su Feng.

Moreover, while giving his seat to Su Feng, he also took the initiative to take on the important task of massaging and relaxing Su Feng.

Look, what is called "My Lakers Leader"?

The fake My Lakers Leader, gets angry with the second-in-command who is younger than him every day. (O'Neal, Su Feng:?)

The real My Lakers Leader, treats subordinates with courtesy and never puts on airs in front of his "second-in-command".

"How about it, can you learn these two three-pointers from me?" After taking the tactical board from Coach Lue, Su Feng turned around and looked at Kobe, who was rubbing his shoulders.

"Can't learn, can't learn, you're awesome!" While giving Su Feng a thumbs up, he didn't forget to continue massaging Su Feng with the other hand, Kobe said like this.

Su Feng: "......"

No......

Is this still the Kobe in my memory?

At this moment, looking at Kobe who was calling him with honorifics...

Su Feng always felt that this Kobe seemed to have been possessed by someone.

"There are still more than three minutes, hold on!" After the timeout, looking at Su Feng, who had just explained the tactics to his teammates, Kobe suddenly extended his right hand to Su Feng.

And only then...

Su Feng Fang understood why Kobe didn't argue with him just now.

Because only by sitting off the court.

You can feel the most real sense of oppression that this Warriors team brings you.

Kobe didn't want to, and didn't want to interfere with or affect Su Feng's good touch.

"Don't worry! Before it's your turn to take over.

I will definitely give you a lead!" Su Feng smiled, shaking hands with Kobe.

"It's us." Kobe reiterated.

"Yes, it's us!" Su Feng replied with a solemn expression.

On the court, the game continued.

On the Warriors' bench, looking at the Lakers players who were completely different from the regular season in terms of energy and spirit tonight...

In a trance, Van Gundy finally recognized what kind of team the Warriors were facing tonight...

What kind of team is it.

Whether it's Su Feng.

Or Kobe.

Or other Lakers players.

Before the start of this game, everyone was prepared to give their all!

First quarter of the game.

The Lakers successfully achieved their established battle plan before the game.

Staples Center.

At the end of the first quarter, 33 to 38.

With a 5-point lead, the Lakers entered the second quarter!

Kobe, who rested for the second half of the first quarter, unsurprisingly appeared on the court in the second quarter.

In order to compete with the Warriors' unique bench lineup, and also to allow Su Feng and Kobe to have enough physical strength to finish this series...

Tonight, Coach Lue not only created rest time for Su Feng and Kobe through personnel rotation.

Moreover, in the second quarter, he also made a brilliant layout in terms of strategic policy!

On the court, the Warriors just scored their first goal of the second quarter.

Back on the other end, the Warriors players, whose defensive attention was all on Kobe, noticed something was wrong.

Because as the Lakers' triangle formation on the court...

The one sinking to the low post...

Was actually...

Shawn Livingston!
