Silently Writing
Chapter 201 Is It a Miracle?
At this moment, the 76ers were very much like the Warriors of the future.
Yes, not the one with the Splash Brothers.
But the Warriors who swept the league-leading Dallas Mavericks out of the playoffs in the 2006/07 season.
Perhaps it was fate?
You see, in the 2006/07 season, the world called that Warriors team:
— Golden State Outlaws!
At the Mid-State Arena, all the 76ers fans were chanting, "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
However, the Bulls' pressure defense was effective.
Veteran Smith didn't have Iverson's ability to dribble and advance the ball. Even if he shouted his lungs out, the 76ers only had 8 seconds left on the shot clock.
To block the 76ers' three-pointers, the Bulls even had Longley up to the free-throw line.
On the Bulls' bench, "Zen Master" had never felt so nervous.
Because it was a fear of the unknown. The 76ers' tactics and style of play were actually very disorganized, but you would subconsciously feel a sense of dread toward them...
In this era with HC rules, it was much harder for the 76ers to get a three-point shot off than it would be for the future Golden State Outlaws.
On NBC, commentator Williams said, "The 76ers need a penetrator!
"Because if they just keep shooting threes, the Bulls can easily predict their intentions!"
A penetrator?
After Iverson's injury, did the 76ers still have a penetrator?
In front of the TV, Grover, who was vacationing in Hawaii, felt like he was doomed.
Because after seeing Su Feng suddenly stop his movement on TV, Grover already had a good idea of what would happen next.
Grover's understanding of tactics was certainly not as good as the coaches of the two teams, but he knew Jordan and Su Feng, whom he had personally trained, inside and out.
At the Mid-State Arena, the exhausted "Old Rogue" was once again restricted by his own body.
In Jordan's eyes, Su Feng's Crossover wasn't technically difficult at all.
Jordan even saw Su Feng's breakthrough direction at a glance.
However, just as Jordan reached out to steal the ball, his waist felt like a rope, and his legs felt like they were locked in place...
The 34-year-old Michael Jordan was frozen in place as if he had been cursed!
If Grant Hill had shaken off the number 45 Jordan back then...
Then now, the number 23 Jordan was shaken off by the Philadelphia 76ers' number 23 in the same way!
That was:
— Unsurpassed!
Su Feng, charging into the Bulls' defense with a tyrant spear, leaped over the Bulls' defense.
After being beaten for three and a half games, had everyone forgotten that the Warrior had a charging monster called Hellscream?
There was a classic Hearthstone saying: you can ignore the Paladin's burst, but you must be careful of the Warrior's burst.
This also applied to Su Feng.
This time, there was no three-point bombardment at the Mid-State Arena.
This time, the mountains shook, and the whole place was shocked!
This time, it was 19 years old defeating 34 years old!
It was time that assisted Su Feng!
The 34-year-old Jordan turned his head and looked at the 19-year-old Su Feng. As the train of time rushed by, his mind was filled with images of his youthful days of flying and doing whatever he wanted.
Clang—!
The rim of the basket rattled as Su Feng dunked. The "ape arms" never needed to jump for dunks.
74 to 69!
"Our counterattack... has only just begun!" On the 76ers' bench, Davis said calmly with his arms crossed.
The young 76ers had the advantage in stamina...
After Su Feng landed his dunk, the 76ers also adopted a full-court press amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans at the scene!
However, while time assisted the 76ers, it also assisted the Bulls.
Because there wasn't much time left in the third quarter...
…
79 to 74. At the end of the third quarter, when the Bulls' warriors returned to the bench, everyone was most concerned about Michael Jordan's stamina.
"Give me 4 minutes!"
Jordan said to "Zen Master" and his teammates while panting.
In fact, 4 minutes of rest was not enough for the current Jordan.
But Jordan had to have those 4 minutes of rest.
Because unlike the Bulls' deficit in G3, the Bulls still had a 5-point lead tonight.
If he wanted to stand up and take over the game and "lock down" Su Feng, Jordan had to rest for those 4 minutes.
The time was different...
"We must reverse our score against the Bulls in one go at the beginning of the fourth quarter!"
On the 76ers' bench, Su Feng, who was completely hyped up, had already forgotten his "player" status.
Logically speaking, in this era, the 76ers' head coach was "One Generation Famous Coach" Davis.
Aside, Davidson not only didn't get angry that Su Feng had stolen his tactical board, but instead took the initiative to hand the pen in his hand to Su Feng.
"Michael will definitely rest for a while before coming back. If we can't take the opportunity to overtake the score, then this game will be difficult for us to play."
"Listen to me, the Bulls will definitely let Scottie come and defend me next.
"Even in the entire fourth quarter, in order to ensure Jordan's offensive efficiency, the player who matches up with me should be Scottie without any accident."
"In this way, the Bulls' interior will inevitably be more empty.
"So don't be afraid, shoot when you have the chance!
"If Theo and Ben can't grab the offensive rebounds, then we will quickly retreat to defense and not give them a chance to score easily on counterattacks."
Su Feng said to his teammates while drawing the practical three-point tactics that he had carefully selected.
And after Su Feng finished arranging the tactics, the 76ers players nodded in agreement.
"Whether we can win or not depends on the last 12 minutes..."
Su Feng said, staring at the scoreboard before the start of the fourth quarter.
…
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the 76ers had the ball. Their lineup had not changed, while the Bulls replaced Jordan with Bisson Dele, whom they had traded back before the trade deadline.
Dele was "206" centimeters tall. After Jordan left the court, the Bulls' infinite rotation would definitely not be possible. Therefore, "Zen Master" hoped to increase the height of the lineup, betting that the Bulls would be able to grab the rebound after the 76ers missed their three-pointers, so that they could continue to grind in the half-court with the 76ers.
Maintaining the lead and consuming the first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter would be a victory in the eyes of "Zen Master".
In this attack of the 76ers, after Su Feng ran around Pippen for a whole circle without being able to run out of an opportunity, Smith passed the ball to Stackhouse according to Su Feng's arrangement.
If a three-point opportunity could not be run out, then Stackhouse would be allowed to force the attack.
This North Carolina Tanhua (third overall pick) did not disappoint his teammates this time. After making a crossover in front of his body, he squeezed past Kukoc and went straight to the Bulls' interior!
Facing Dele, who had just come on the court, Stackhouse folded in the air and slammed the ball in with a reverse dunk!
Being able to become the Tanhua in 1995 only made Stackhouse seem very Low because he was often beaten by Su Feng and publicly executed by Jordan.
But in fact, this guy's physical talent was definitely worthy of the Tanhua pick.
79 to 76. After scoring this goal, Stackhouse slapped Su Feng's hand and said:
"I heard Kenny say that you often rate his three-pointers. Then how many points would you give me for this dunk, Su?"
Su Feng laughed and said, "10 points...
"The reason I'm giving you 10 points is because the highest I have here is 10 points. If I could, this ball would be worth at least 100 points in my opinion!"
Pa, pa!
Stackhouse laughed and patted Su Feng's back twice. If it weren't for the fact that they were still playing the game, Su Feng's back would definitely have two big red handprints on it if he took off his jersey.
On the court, the Bulls were on the attack. Pippen was stuck in the low post by Su Feng and failed to get into position. The Bulls turned to Kukoc.
This "Balkan Magician" used his magic-like steps to get past Stackhouse.
But...
Ratliff, who was already prepared, directly slapped the ball out of bounds with his big hand!
The Alabama Twin Walls never referred to Ben alone.
Jordan, who was sitting off the court, was already getting anxious at this moment, but no matter how anxious he was, Jordan had to choose to trust his teammates for a while.
On the court, the Bulls passed the ball from the baseline. Pippen circled to the high post to receive the ball. Facing Su Feng's magnetic defense, Pippen felt like he was in a strange circle where he couldn't exert his strength.
He really wanted to raise his broadsword and slash through Su Feng's defense, but... whenever he wanted to swing his knife, Su Feng could always raise his shield to complete the block.
Don't look at how he didn't perform well in G3, but Pippen's stamina was also being consumed all the time.
And tonight, Pippen was also doing the physical work of boxing out in the interior.
Forcing Pippen to the high post and letting him complete the offense in the high post was Su Feng's defensive purpose.
After all, in terms of strength, Su Feng was not yet so exaggerated that he could pinch Pippen to death.
No matter how little his salary was, this person was also called Scottie Pippen.
Clang—!
Su Feng's defense was successful. Pippen's turnaround jump shot in the high post missed the basket!
In the restricted area, Ratliff boxed out, and Ben grabbed the rebound. The two, who were tacitly cooperating, didn't care about the data at this time.
As long as they could grab the rebound, then it was their rebound!
The 76ers were on the attack. Now, the fans in front of the TV were curious...
Would the 76ers tie the score on this attack?
The white-headed eagles and the bunnies were staring at the TV screen, and for some unknown reason, everyone felt like they were holding their breath...
Cough, to put it simply, in this era without social networks, they couldn't send barrages, they couldn't send Weibo, they couldn't send tweets... so they could only digest it themselves!
On the right wing at a 45-degree angle, this time Su Feng used his eyes to deceive Pippen!
"Sharingan" was a black hole when defending, but it was a divine skill when attacking!
Looking at the position where Su Feng received the ball, even though that position was a bit far from the usual shooting spot, Pippen, who didn't dare to be careless, still chose to pounce on him.
Because intuition told Pippen that Su Feng would definitely shoot this ball!
Bang—!
Su Feng, whose cylinder was violated by Pippen, didn't hesitate. He pulled out his gun and shot, shooting out an expression pack of Pippen's terrified expression.
This kid, was he deliberately leaning over just now?
It must be intentional!
Omniscient, fair, open, and just referees, you must not be fooled!
Beep—!
Fooled?
That didn't exist. In the words of the referees, they called this being in the moment.
Believe it or not, the scale of the penalty for this game had long been shouted off course by the fans at the scene.
This was how home-court advantage was. After Iverson was thrown out of the game by Rodman, the referees had a certain sympathy for the 76ers, and this sympathy could easily lead to deviations in the referees' subsequent penalties.
And this deviation, we usually call it:
— Home cooking.
So the question was...
On the basketball court, what method could be used to overtake the opponent in one breath when trailing by 3 points?
North Carolina, Windsor. Duncan felt that Pippen's shot was very irrational when he heard the referee's whistle...
Because Su Feng's shooting rhythm was already a bit chaotic in terms of shooting rhythm. In Duncan's opinion, all he needed to do was open his hands and stand in place to interfere...
Mid-State Arena, bang, swish—!
This was a bank shot and-one!
"Su Feng is going to score four points!" Zhang Weiping said excitedly on CCTV.
"If Su Feng can make the free throw, then the 76ers will overtake the score!" Su Qunyang added.
Looking at his right hand, Su Feng felt that the lucky ring that Iverson had given him was really useful.
Su Feng had a flash of inspiration when he saw Pippen pounce on him, and he was going for a foul.
After being pulled up from the floor by Ben, Su Feng ignored Pippen, who was full of question marks.
Little Pippen, do you have many friends?
Wake up, this was the 90s, and Kevin Martin and James Harden had not yet appeared, otherwise who knew how collapsed the mindsets of future defenders would be.
In order to draw this foul, Su Feng's chest was really hit by Pippen's elbow.
79 to 79!
The originally noisy Mid-State Arena suddenly quieted down.
Could you understand the mood of the 76ers fans who didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment?
They were afraid of interfering with Su Feng's free throw.
Please!
Make this free throw!
Su Feng stepped on the free-throw line. After gently patting the basketball a few times, Su Feng finally shot the basketball.
Swish—!
79 to 80!
The 76ers overtook the score!
In an instant, the entire arena rang out with "M-V-P!" for Su Feng.
However, just as Jordan clenched his fists and turned to return to defense, he almost fell...
What were you thinking?
Defend against Jordan?
Sorry, Su Feng was a young man full of reason.
Therefore, at the moment when he was shaken open by Jordan, Su Feng gave up on continuing to chase the defense.
He ran straight to the Bulls' half.
And because the 76ers widened the basket in G3, Jordan's "divine punishment" almost passed through the net.
Ben grabbed the ball and rushed to the baseline as soon as possible, and then threw a long football-style throw back!
Ben believed that Su Feng would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
And Su Feng firmly believed that Ben would definitely be able to see his run!
Because his hairstyle was designed by Ben!
Su Feng, who caught the ball with one hand in the air, caught the pass. However, in order to catch the ball, Su Feng spent some time, which gave Jordan and Pippen a chance to retreat to the basket.
However, just as Jordan and Pippen were ready to "close the door and beat the dog," Su Feng suddenly withdrew to the three-point line.
Who told you that a fast break could only score two points?
You know, the superior order that Su Feng received tonight was:
He was allowed to fire at any time and at any place!
On the right wing at a 45-degree angle, Su Feng's preparation time was sufficient to the point that he could even light a cigar before shooting.
It was too late. Even if Jordan and Pippen turned on a cheat, it was impossible to stop this three-pointer.
Swish—!
97 to 98!
In front of the TV, the Bulls' fans started cursing as soon as they were happy for a few seconds.
And on NBC, Williams only noticed after being surprised that Su Feng...
Had already created a new NBA playoff single-game three-point record tonight!
However, before Williams could report this information to the audience, his thoughts were attracted by the Bulls' attack on the court.
Although Su Feng's fast-break three-pointer made Jordan's heart very blocked, as a mature king, Jordan quickly pulled his attention back to the court.
Just...
Even "God" would have times when he missed.
Clang—!
How loud Jordan's iron was, how painful the hearts of the Bulls fans in front of the TV were.
We...
Wouldn't... really be swept, would we?
When the emotion of panic quickly spread among the Bulls fans, the opposite was true for the 76ers fans, with their happy expressions.
This attack of the 76ers was still completed by Su Feng.
Pippen desperately entangled him with this ball. At this moment, salary and Rodman were no longer so important.
In order to win the ball, Pippen thought the most at this moment was how he should defend against Su Feng with this ball.
Clang—!
This was the 19th iron that Su Feng had hammered down tonight. There was no way. The bonus provided by this reasonable system still depended on Su Feng's own feel.
Harper picked up the rebound. The fourth quarter...
Still had 1 minute and 59 seconds left!
…
On the court, the Bulls were on the attack. The 4-1 offense was pulled apart, trying to create an opportunity for Jordan in the low post.
However, Su Feng, who was "hugging and wrestling" with Jordan, just wouldn't let the "Old Rogue" receive the ball in the low post.
After the time entered the final moment, the NBA referees always liked to hand the game over to the players of the two teams.
What's more, this was still the 90s.
Su Feng and Jordan fought back and forth for position, and Jordan, who was more experienced, suddenly turned and cut into the interior.
Seeing this, Harper hurriedly passed the ball to Jordan.
However, just as Jordan received the ball and was preparing to rise and hit the backboard, Ben came over to defend from the side.
The "Old Rogue" had no chance to regret this ball.
Because as long as he still had the strength, this ball would not be a bank shot, but a one-handed dunk!
Pa—!
This was a block shot on the backboard!
Ben blocked Michael Jordan!
Smith grabbed the second landing point!
The 76ers defended it!
At the Mid-State Arena, all the 76ers fans spontaneously put their hands on each other's shoulders.
If there really would be a miracle, then let's take a look!
Smith dribbled the ball past half court.
It was also a 4-1 pull.
Su Feng received the ball on the left wing.
Pippen stepped forward to press.
Su Feng grabbed the ball in his right hand and protected it with his left hand in front of him.
"Su... I think, compared to dribbling, I should teach you a few moves, the skills I often used when I first started playing basketball."
Long Beach, looking at the eager-to-learn Su Feng, Iverson laughed.
"Your hands are so big. If I had hands as big as yours, look, then I only need to do this, and then do this. As long as the opponent dares to stick to you, then you can pass him!"
In the training hall, holding the basketball, Iverson pointed to Su Feng.
At the Mid-State Arena, Su Feng, wearing Iverson's headband, suddenly accelerated in the face of Pippen's fierce defense!
Ka, ka, ka...
Time, what it defeated was more than just Michael Jordan?
In the fourth quarter, the 32-year-old Scottie Pippen was also close to his limit.
The wind has risen————!
It was common sense that there was no wind in the basketball hall.
But at this moment, all the 76ers fans felt a light breeze blowing past them.
And then...
Facing Luke Longley, it was a thunderous force.
Awei Eighteen Styles, one shot into the soul, full service without discounts!
How dare mere kangaroos compete with the rabbits who had turned on the cheats?
Go back to Australia and take care of the fire, Luke Longley!
Su Feng dunked on Longley————!
97 to 100!
Although Iverson was not on the court, at the moment when he landed the dunk, Su Feng always felt that he was pushed.
Then, that "183" suddenly jumped on his back.
"Oh! Damn it! You dunked him unconscious, you know!"
After completing the high-five with Iverson in the void, Su Feng tidied up his headband.
Then, while beating his chest, Su Feng looked up to the sky and roared!
"There are only 1 minute and 14 seconds left! Go, 76ers!"
On CCTV, what was needed was a hammer! Zhang Weiping objectively and fairly explained!
"Defeat the Bulls! The country will change hands, and the dynasty should also change!"
Su Qunyang stood up and also objectively explained.
Mid-State Arena, Philadelphia...
China…
Only geniuses knew how many people were shouting defense together at this moment!
Come on! Chicago Bulls!
