Silently Writing

Chapter 228 I am Iron Man!

If I had to use a single sentence to describe Larry Brown's mood at this moment, it would be something like:

On the court, A.I. is too fast, Su is too reckless, this fast-break tactic is laughable.

Logically speaking, only Su Feng and Iverson have the privilege to brick shots…

If any other players played like this, Larry Brown would have probably subbed them out already.

To be fair, if you put aside all the factors related to the team, Su Feng doesn't think this style is necessarily bad.

Because A.I.’s scoring titles from his previous life are examples of this.

As long as Su Feng doesn't shoot too many ultra-long three-pointers, challenging Brown's limit of tolerance, Brown basically won't say anything about his offense.

But here's the problem: What is Su Feng's purpose in earning brick points and improving his abilities?

The answer, of course, is to find a way to win every game and strive for the championship.

But Brown's "torture king" routine, isn't it only tormenting the 76ers' opponents?

With the 76ers' new season approach of prioritizing a set offense, once Su Feng and Iverson "don't click," what awaits the 76ers isn't "Cornetto," but...

Su Feng and Iverson did their best; the teammates are CBA-level.

Or, the teammates are NBA-level, but Su Feng and Iverson are just too cold from the field.

In fact, as a core player, Su Feng is well aware that some shots need to be taken by the team's star players.

But...

On the basketball court, there is a difference between "unreasonable offense" and "unreasonable offense."

Su Feng's "Splash Brothers" from his previous life are a good example of this.

It seems like they have a lot of shots that are aimed at "overruling the heavens," but in reality, those shots are intentional by Kerr and the Warriors' coaching staff.

In simple terms, it's called "tactical overruling of the heavens."

And Su Feng's performance of scoring 5 consecutive points can be understood as "forced overruling of the heavens."

Open up the technical statistics of "Aifeng" tonight, and you can find that the shooting percentage of these two people in this game is 37% and 42% respectively...

For "Aifeng," who can gain the upper hand in the matchup with Wesley and the contest with Fox, Brown's offensive tactics not only don't provide any bonus, but even make these two people extremely tired.

To be fair, it's because Su Feng developed a big heart in his rookie season...

If his hand had just trembled and his handsome pull-up had turned into a jump pass, the 76ers would definitely have collapsed tonight.

There's no way around it. As the "King," if Su Feng doesn't take the lead, how dare Snow and others disobey the tactics of "Regent" Brown?

However, just as Zhang and Sun were singing Su Feng's praises without following any procedure...

On the American commentary side, commentators led by Kenny Smith and Williams were also praising Duncan without following any procedure.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, after Iverson missed three consecutive attacks, the Celtics...

Tied the score!

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, using Duncan's screen, Jim Jackson hit a three-pointer from the right wing at a 45-degree angle, tying the score for the Celtics.

81 to 81.

On the court, after wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Feng glared fiercely at Snow.

Without a doubt, after he scored 5 consecutive points just now, this guy, like Ratliff, who didn't dare to pass the ball to him anymore, must have received a warning from Brown!

It's just toxic!

You know, future history has proven countless times that even that "183" who almost went from a holy cannon to a god cannon...

How can his ability to attack key moments be compared with Durant, Leonard, and others?

Iverson, who has taken nearly 30 shots tonight, can play wonderful games relying on his never-say-die spirit.

But when his stamina declines, you still let him slow down the pace and charge into the formation with the ball. Even Van Gundy's grandfather couldn't come up with such an offensive routine.

There's no way around it. Brown is ultimately not a tool person like Davis who can allow Su Feng to take over on and off the court.

Larry Brown is willing to give Su Feng privileges, but he wants to educate Su Feng through facts, so that Su Feng can feel his "love" for him.

Just like Auerbach is very patient with Duncan, he, Brown, is also willing to use half a season to help Su Feng "grow."

Look, isn't Su Feng preparing to post up at the high post?

On the 76ers' bench, Brown felt extremely gratified when he saw this scene.

As long as Su Feng is willing to slow down, Snow, who is responsible for holding the ball on the court, will no longer be entangled.

And after last year's battles alongside Su Feng, Iverson won't be jealous of leaving the performance time to Su Feng at key moments.

It's just that...

Where is this Su Feng compromising?

It's already the final moments, even if Su Feng doesn't want to slow down, he has to slow down.

The "Golden Double Guns" are ultimately not the "Splash Brothers." Su Feng, a second-year player, has already begun to develop into a "frame-by-frame version of Jordan," so, it's still that sentence...

Times change.

On the court, when Snow passed the ball to him, Su Feng looked up at the timer.

For this attack, the 76ers have 10 seconds left.

In other words, in the absence of any organization, just playing a one-four spread tactic, the 76ers wasted a full 14 seconds...

Although for Su Feng, who actually only has a double threat, the option of passing the ball doesn't exist, but such an offensive time, coupled with the Celtics' strategy of guarding the penalty area...

After feinting Fox twice with one hand, Su Feng quickly made a decision.

If Duncan's style of play is the most old-fashioned in Su Feng's view...

Then Su Feng's style of play is also the most old-fashioned in Little Duncan's eyes.

Well...

You say everyone is a cornerstone, if you aren't a bit old-fashioned, how can you be down-to-earth?

Old-fashioned is old-fashioned, flashy is flashy.

When Su Feng forcibly pulled up, his super-long wingspan made Fox, who jumped up to block him, despair.

Swish!

When he saw the basketball swishing through the net, Su Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even with an iron heart, if possible, Su Feng really doesn't want to experience this kind of tense and exciting feeling.

83 to 81!

On Da Tianchao Television, Zhang directed and hammered the table and said, "Isn't it right to play like this? Just hand the ball to Su Feng!"

On the side, Director Sun, who felt sorry for the table's HP, echoed, "Maybe it's because of the opening game, the 76ers' new season offense obviously still needs to be run in."

On the Celtics' bench, Karl, according to Auerbach's intention, signaled to the players on the court that even if Su Feng received the ball at the high post next, they should double-team him.

With Duncan and Radja protecting the inside, the Celtics are not very afraid of Iverson's breakthrough.

The "James Wade" who were targeted by Chandler in the future are also an example. In fact, when defending this type of breakthrough player, it doesn't matter if your outside line is blown up.

Because as long as the inside line can make up for it, it can maximize the weakening of the damage caused by the opponent's breakthrough.

In addition, in this game, affected by Brown and the extended three-point line, Iverson only took 2 three-pointers, which greatly reduced his threat on the outside.

As for his high-post long two-pointers, he wasn't very accurate in this game.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the seasons when Iverson won the scoring title four times, he would take nearly 8 of these long two-pointers per game.

And his average field goal percentage for long two-pointers was about 38%.

Therefore, when he's in good form, Iverson can easily blow up the opponent.

Don't look at him being short, but when the hC rules can't restrain him, he can easily create space with one step at the high post.

And last season, Su Feng's field goal percentage for long two-pointers was 43%, which can be ranked very high among the league's outside players at this time.

Su Feng's field goal percentage for long two-pointers was good last season...It's related to his love of shooting three-pointers directly through opponents, and his unparalleled breakthrough in the second half of the season.

Most of the time, opponents would rather let him shoot at the high post than let him break through to the basket or shoot those "nonsensical" three-pointers.

And this is also why Auerbach believes that Su Feng is worth double-teaming at the last moment.

Because in fact, even if Su Feng's overall rating is only about 80 this season, far inferior to Iverson, his deterrence is higher than Iverson's at this moment.

This is not blowing one and praising the other, but because in the new season, this "Answer" has lost one of his invincible weapons from last season...

The three-pointer.

In Su Feng's view, of course Iverson can't become Curry, but he already takes 8 long two-pointers per game, so take a small step back...

Can't Iverson shoot? !

In the case that the NBA has extended the three-point line in the new season, even if Iverson can only shoot a 30% three-point percentage, isn't it better than a 38% long two-pointer?

There's no way around it. Compared with the truly uninhibited Su Feng, Iverson is actually the good boy.

He likes freedom, pursues individuality...

But if he is really as untamable as Brown said in the future, then you know how much Iverson liked to throw three-pointers in his rookie season and college days?

In other words, among the four major shooting guards, who can escape the joy of being able to shoot three-pointers infinitely?

Although Iverson, who also has the privilege of being late, has had many parties in the past, he really regards Brown as a mentor like Thompson.

If Su Feng's personal witness can be regarded as helping Iverson whitewash, then it is estimated that this is the most miserable time Iverson has been blacked in his life.

Because in fact, Brown's anxious tactics are the truth of Iverson's "toxic tumor."

Su Feng also took 26 shots tonight. Do you think Su Feng doesn't want to pass the ball?

Wake up, no one knows better than Su Feng, who is now "not strong enough," that basketball needs to be played by five people.

But, can't let Big Ben or Ratliff chisel Duncan, right?

How good the 76ers' defense is in this game, the worse their performance is on the offensive end.

At the last moment, Stackhouse, who was firmly pressed on the bench by Brown, rubbed his hands anxiously back and forth.

Since defeating Jordan with Su Feng last season, Stackhouse just changed a villa in Philadelphia before the start of the new season.

Obviously, he has regarded Philadelphia as his home.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a sixth man. It is tiring to be pulled by Su Feng to heads-up, but as long as he can win against his senior, he can endure it.

Just like he said to Su Feng, maybe he and Su Feng will never become friends, but he enjoys the time he spends as teammates with Su Feng.

"Hold on!" Stackhouse said nervously on the bench.

On the court, after Wesley dribbled the ball past halftime, there were 57 seconds left in this game.

The Celtics didn't play any tactics at the last moment. Duncan, who was forced out of the low post by Ratliff, fortunately received the ball at the high post at a 45-degree angle on the right wing.

Duncan was extremely fast when he was young. He was confident in using his speed to break through Ratliff's defense at the high post.

However, this time, after receiving the ball, Duncan didn't rush to start.

Because he had to find someone's position first.

This person is not Big Ben, but Su Feng.

Duncan, who was quite afraid of Su Feng's help defense ability, started his old-fashioned "Buddhist" breakthrough after observing for two seconds.

Ratliff, who was being held by him, wanted to curse.

In Su Feng's previous life, in his career matchup with Ratliff, Duncan averaged nearly 27 points per game. You must know that this is the Spurs version of Duncan, that is to say, it was obtained under Popovich's restriction of his number of shots.

In this ball, Ratliff was a little anxious to reach out helplessly, but Duncan turned around in place with great spirituality.

And I don't know why, it was obviously a very tense moment, but a BGM automatically popped up in Su Feng's mind:

The windmill turns creakily, Duncan's dunk is so beautiful, the sky is beautiful, the earth is beautiful, and there are happy little partners together...

Cough cough, beep!

Ratliff fouled on this ball, and Duncan had to go to the free throw line.

And it is worth mentioning that before going to the free throw line, maybe he felt that he was almost able to perform a windmill dunk, Duncan also used one hand to catch the ball and magically played the second BGM to Su Feng:

The windmill turns and turns, happy partners hold hands, holding your hand, holding my hand, today's little partners, tomorrow's good friends...

"Su, does your stomach hurt?" On the court, Iverson asked with concern, looking at Su Feng who was covering his stomach with an extremely distorted expression.

"I... Allen... I..."

Looking down at Iverson, Su Feng hurriedly hugged Ai, put his arms around Iverson behind him, and bit his arm hard.

Iverson, who was hugged by Su Feng, smiled and patted Su Feng on the back.

"Bear with it, I'll go to the toilet with you after the game."

Iverson felt that Su Feng was too unlucky, and his stomach actually hurt at such a critical juncture...

Duncan went to the free throw line.

After taking two deep breaths, Duncan made two free throws blankly.

In Su Feng's previous life, some people always thought that Duncan's free throws were a weakness... but compared to O'Neal, Duncan's free throws are just a show, okay?

83 to tie, at the technical desk, Brown requested a timeout, and then began to draw a bunch of offensive tactics that Su Feng didn't understand on the sidelines.

Anyway, Brown said a lot, and finally summed it up in one sentence:

Iverson singles or Su Feng singles.

Don't you really believe it, with such tactics, who said that keyboard heroes can't be head coaches?

At least the keyboard heroes who know how to play 2k tactics can draw you a flower.

Su Feng didn't take Brown's tactics to heart, but just after the timeout, when the 76ers were preparing to send the sideline ball, Su Feng felt that he was being targeted.

"Our defense at the last moment is very simple, let the 76ers hand the ball to Allen Iverson."

In his rookie season, Su Feng, who staged 3 game-winning shots in the regular season and playoffs respectively, how could Auerbach let him catch the ball at this time?

Although Auerbach didn't travel through time, one of Su Feng's nicknames, "Sweet Melon", makes you feel that this person is very good at game-winning shots when you hear it.

In order not to be tired by Su Feng's smile, on the court, the Celtics players even pulled and dragged, and didn't give Su Feng a chance to catch the ball.

On the other side, Iverson received the pass from his teammates exceptionally smoothly.

On the 76ers bench, Brown smiled triumphantly when he saw this scene.

Because in his opinion, it was his brilliant tactics that made the 76ers so easy in the ball-catching link of this offense.

It's just...

As one of the wars in the era of peace, in terms of tactics in basketball, once you follow the routine that your opponent wants you to play, most of the time, it is difficult for you to score.

Iverson rushed into the Celtics' inside line without hesitation, and failed to score under Radja's interference.

Duncan grabbed the rebound, and Auerbach gestured to the players on the sidelines, indicating that he would not call a timeout for this attack.

And in order to avoid being snatched away by some people with sinister intentions, Duncan, who had a good habit of grabbing the rebound, raised the ball high with one hand.

Su Feng: "..."

Yes, that's right, Duncan is defending against people like Su Feng!

Too bad.

"Well... Su is such an interesting player."

On the Celtics' bench, Auerbach always felt that Su Feng's cunning actions just now reminded him of Havlicek.

Su Feng failed to steal the ball, so he quickly retreated to defend.

The Celtics played their last attack, and there were 28 seconds left in the game, so in theory, the 76ers still had a chance to play the last attack.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, nearly 20,000 Green Army fans have stood up.

Although they were very sleepy watching this game before, at this moment, the Green Army fans felt that their hearts might jump out at any time.

Smith said on tnt TV, "Will it be Tim who plays this attack?"

The answer is obvious.

On the court, Duncan received the ball at the high post.

And what is different from the tense atmosphere of this game is that at this time, you can't see what tension is from Duncan's expression at all.

He is like a calm student, silently opening the test paper, and then filling in his standard answer on it.

That is Tim Duncan!

Bang, swish.

At the moment when the offensive time was approaching, Duncan completed his shot.

Then, with this shot hitting the board, the entire North Shore Garden Arena suddenly turned into an ocean of joy.

83 to 85!

The Celtics, really turned over!

No matter what language you use, you can't describe the beauty of Duncan's board shot at this moment.

A man who played with the most old-fashioned style for a full 20 seasons.

There is no doubt that this game is the peak of Duncan's career.

Will the Philadelphia 76ers, who overturned the Chicago Bulls, be overturned by the young Celtics on this day?

Duncan, who was expressionless, looked up at the timer, and then walked back to the bench silently in the cheers of his teammates.

There are still 5.9 seconds left, and this game is not over yet!

The 76ers requested another timeout.

At this time, even if Larry Brown didn't panic on the outside, he was panicking inside.

When taking the tactical board, his hand obviously shook.

Still the tactical arrangement of Iverson or Su Feng.

And the only difference is that at the end of the timeout, Brown suddenly pulled Su Feng and said, "Su, don't shoot three-pointers randomly."

Su Feng didn't answer Larry Brown.

Because as a shooter, only when he receives the ball, Su Feng has the opportunity to deal with and choose.

Prematurely seal your choice?

Wouldn't that allow the opponent to easily guess their intentions?

Su Feng knew that Brown meant that as long as the 76ers could tie the score with this ball, their chances of winning the overtime game would be very high.

But...

If Su Feng made it clear to his opponent that he would not throw three-pointers, wouldn't the Celtics be able to block the penalty area to death?

In Su Feng's previous life, some people always said that Reggie Miller's 9 seconds and 8 points benefited from the tactics drawn by Brown.

However, people who say this don't need to think about it, doesn't that mean that McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points were also tactics drawn by Fan Gundy?

In basketball games, at the decisive moment, even if the coach draws the most awesome tactics, the players who execute them are also players.

Compared with the coaches who like to hug the thighs of players in the last attack, he, Larry Brown, is simply too low, okay?

On the court, after the players of the two teams stood in good defensive positions, Su Feng once again became the focus of the Celtics' attention.

Still letting Iverson catch the ball, still not giving Su Feng any chance.

However, Snow, who was a little nervous, made a fatal mistake.

He was steady all game, but this ball...

The pass was a bounce pass.

And because he was too nervous, he forgot the Green Army's "Glory Floor" that Su Feng had previously reminded him of.

This time basketball...

Failed to bounce up!

Jim Jackson rushed to the direction where the basketball landed with joy.

This one of the "former Dallas Three Musketeers" who was extremely eager to prove himself, even used a fish leap to grab the ball at this moment.

About to win!

The Celtics are about to win!

Long live, Tim Duncan!

Long live, Auerbach!

Long live, the Celtics!

"This is Su ————!"

And just when the Celtics fans were about to usher in victory, Smith on tnt TV suddenly enlarged his pupils.

In the chaotic zone, Su Feng pushed Duncan away with his elbows, then squeezed Fox away with his buttocks, and then... he was like that man who turned on the cheat!

Long legs, full speed sprint!

Because basketball games are different from 100-meter races, Su Feng didn't listen to Mills' words and practice late-stage strength in those years.

What he practiced was fast start and the first 10-meter sprint.

Therefore, when he grabbed Jackson and snatched the basketball back, even the referee forgot to blow the whistle.

Adhering to the principle of trying to hand over the victory or defeat of the game to both players at the last moment, how much Su Feng encountered just now, the Celtics must now bear the consequences.

Su Feng, who regained the basketball, did not hesitate at all!

One step away from the three-point line, he decisively fired this shot that determined fate!

Who said that the rabbit's shells must be precision-guided.

It's enough to be violent, right?

How decisively Su Feng threw this ball, and how desperate the Celtics fans at the North Shore Garden Arena were as the timer went to zero!

Smith, who felt as if he had returned to a few months ago on tnt TV, used his hoarse voice and trembling throat to shout to the entire North America with all his strength:

"Su, shot and killed the Celtics ————!!!"

A few seconds later, Smith added: "This is the second consecutive season that he has staged a game-winning shot in the opening game!"

86 to 85!

Su Feng smiled and made a gun-blowing gesture to Duncan.

Old Duncan, maybe you are the chosen one.

But, tonight, I am Iron Man!

"The future is yours, Tim."

On this day, Su Feng looked up at Duncan, who had a slightly depressed expression, and comforted him after the game...
