Silently Writing
Chapter 239 The OK Friendship Depends Entirely on Su Feng
Originally, he wanted to seize the city in one go, but he didn't expect to be preempted by his opponent. If it were last season, O'Neal would probably have typed "15 shots" on the "public screen"...
On the court, the Lakers were on the attack.
Van Exel dribbled the ball past half-court and handed it to Kobe to organize.
Perhaps many people don't know what the concept of a reasonable Kobe with a passing key installed is.
In the 99/00 season, there was a very interesting statistic:
When Kobe's assists were greater than or equal to 6, the Lakers' record was 19 wins and 3 losses, with a win rate as high as 86%.
In this life, Kobe, who desperately wanted to prove himself, had gone further and further in studying Magic Johnson's game tapes.
Because of the butterfly effect caused by Su Feng, Fox did not join the Lakers according to the original trajectory. Kobe, who was arranged by Harris to start in advance, no longer needed to focus on scoring like Su Feng in his previous life when he played as the sixth man...
In addition, the current Lakers teammates are all NBA teammates, so after Kobe went astray, the overall offense of this Lakers team became smoother.
This season, they averaged 106.8 points per game, the highest-scoring team in the league.
If Su Feng remembered correctly, Stern's support for Kobe in his previous life had something to do with the fact that the Lakers' offense was not boring.
On the court, O'Neal, who decided not to bother with "Ai Feng" (Ai Iverson, Feng Su Feng), swayed his big butt to the high post to complete a screen for Kobe, who was holding the ball.
The latter used a Kobe-style crossover to break through Stakhouse's defense!
In the middle, O'Neal quickly went down.
In Su Feng's view, with his explosiveness at this time, it was no wonder that Duncan complained in his previous life that even if you mastered the acceleration of gravity and studied inertia, you couldn't stop this short and fast shark.
And what was even more of a headache was...
Kobe's pass was very accurate.
O'Neal, who received Kobe's assist, instantly had a clear path ahead.
Bang!
7 to 4.
Too flashy, this was too flashy.
The biggest difference between O'Neal and Howard was that the former, even if he was powerful in the low post, would still screen for his teammates during his peak.
As for the latter, even if his offensive skills were like a hello kitty, as long as he didn't want to screen for you, then you had to feed him the ball and watch him show his iron-throwing skills in the low post.
After O'Neal dunked, Harris, who wanted to call a timeout, sat back on the Lakers' bench.
However...
Before Harris's butt was even warm, he and Brown on the adjacent bench clutched their chests at the same time.
Their hearts ached!
In almost the exact same scenario, Su Feng slipped past Horry, and then, facing Kobe's help defense, he received an assist from Iverson. Under Kobe's gaze of "how could this shot possibly go in," he threw this three-pointer without hesitation.
And it was strange to say, Su Feng wasn't usually this accurate on open shots...
Swish!
'Could it be that I'm also the type of player who only gets accurate when someone is defending me?'
Su Feng thought suspiciously, having made 2 of 2 three-pointers to start the game tonight.
Alright, Harris still called a timeout.
It was worth mentioning that just as Su Feng and Iverson slapped hands and walked back to the bench, Kobe, while scratching his fluffy afro, sent Su Feng a "Kobe question mark emoji."
Unscientific, too unscientific!
After the timeout, the Lakers changed their formation. Harris's defensive system was not as stubborn as Brown's, but Harris would still make the necessary adjustments.
Fisher came on, Horry went off, and the Lakers were planning to use Kobe to defend Su Feng.
"Oh, the Lakers are also playing with one big and four small." Zhang指导 (Zhang Zhidao) said with a smile on Chinese national television.
On the side, Sun指导 (Sun Zhidao) pointed at the "big" men of both teams and said, "Although Ben Wallace is an inside player, his height looks similar to that of an outside player."
Obviously, Da Ben's afro could confuse the audience, but it couldn't confuse Sun指导, who had professional qualities.
On the court, the game continued, and the Lakers were on the attack.
It was still the OK screen, but just as O'Neal was preparing to block Su Feng, he looked at Su Feng's body, which was likely to "fall backward tactically" at any moment...
At this moment, O'Neal, who had a fire burning in his chest, really wanted to fight Su Feng.
Enough is enough!
On the court, taking advantage of the moment when O'Neal didn't block him, Su Feng quickly bypassed O'Neal's huge body.
And when he noticed Su Feng's expression of "is this what you call a screen?"...
O'Neal really couldn't stand it anymore.
Just like that, on the court, O'Neal, unwilling to give up, screened for Kobe again.
And this time, O'Neal didn't give Su Feng a chance. How solid was his screen?
It was just that the crotch-grabbing action seemed a little redundant to Su Feng.
The 90s were not like the future. No matter how good Su Feng's acting skills were, he couldn't act every time.
Drawing an offensive foul from an opponent was a technical job. As long as O'Neal was afraid of his help defense and going around the screen, then Su Feng's goal would be achieved.
Because if he really had to go head-to-head with O'Neal, then even two of him wouldn't be enough for O'Neal to beat.
So, imperceptibly, Su Feng had actually made this shark waver.
This time, O'Neal, who went down, received a pass from Kobe and made a layup under the basket.
During his peak, O'Neal was very good at shooting in various areas of the inside. After all, no matter how capable he was of dunking, he couldn't rely on dunking to end every attack.
In short, this was a shark that looked fierce but was actually delicate.
It could open its bloody mouth and swallow its prey in one gulp, or it could chew slowly and patiently wear down its opponent.
10 to 6.
Next, the 76ers failed to score on two consecutive attacks, and Su Feng and Iverson each missed a shot.
O'Neal, who was in great shape, didn't give Da Ben a chance to grab an offensive rebound, and the Lakers quickly tied the score at 10 to 10.
O'Neal, who had taken over all of the Lakers' scoring tonight, looked at Kobe while retreating on defense, and he couldn't have been happier.
Patting Kobe, who had been passing him the ball, on the shoulder, O'Neal continued to court death and said, "Kobe, you should take a few shots too, otherwise, they'll keep double-teaming me."
Theoretically speaking, there was nothing wrong with what O'Neal said.
Because if the OK screen, and the K... turned into Ko-be-no-attack, then the 76ers would really ignore him.
However...
O'Neal had obviously underestimated Su Feng's influence on Kobe, as well as Su Feng's position in Kobe's heart.
On the court, the 76ers were on the attack. While vying for position in the low post, Su Feng, using his butt and elbows, ignited Kobe's anger.
Because Su Feng teased Kobe while playing, "Is this the strength you've been working hard on all summer?"
"In the face of my dominance, admit it, Kobe, in one-on-one, you're my little brother!"
Su Feng, making feints at Kobe while shifting left and right and keeping his pivot foot planted, smiled and said, "See my big hands?"
Kobe: "..."
Swish!
Su Feng used his strength advantage to score in the low post, 12 to 10.
After scoring, he didn't forget to commemorate this basket with the celebration ritual that iron-blooded power forwards would perform.
As the saying goes, the game needs a sense of ritual. Bang, bang, bang, after hammering his chest three times in a row, Su Feng couldn't have looked more domineering at this moment.
"See, this is what I often tell you guys, you must have bloodiness when you play basketball.
Because if you don't have bloodiness, then your opponent will take advantage of you," Zhang指导 praised on Chinese national television.
"Su Feng's attack in the low post just now left Kobe with no power to fight back.
I heard that they often played one-on-one in high school, and Kobe has never won against Su Feng in one-on-one," Sun指导 said, flipping through his notebook.
In front of the television, the netizens all felt that Feng Ge (Brother Feng, Su Feng) was too awesome.
However...
Why did Kobe, who had never won against Feng Ge in one-on-one, have a higher draft pick than Feng Ge back then?
Oh right, it must be because Feng Ge doesn't like to pass the ball.
Tch...
Why pass the ball in basketball?
Moreover, is Feng Ge not passing the ball?
Feng Ge is responsible!
Ahem, at the Great Western Forum, Su Feng, who was currently playing the game, would never have imagined that because of him, a group of "lone rangers" calling themselves "honey bees" had appeared on domestic streetball courts.
On the court, after failing to defend Su Feng, Kobe, at O'Neal's suggestion, took the initiative to slip into the low post, wanting to attack...
To be honest, although it was an old cliché, Su Feng really didn't expect that Kobe would actually choose to PK with him in the low post...
On the side, O'Neal, who was originally preparing to enter the low post, suddenly had a question mark on his face.
However, when he thought about the passes that Kobe had given him before, O'Neal didn't really mind Kobe stealing his low post...
However, for a second-year Kobe to try to dig open Su Feng in the low post, the difficulty was no less than Su Feng digging open Da Ben in the low post.
Kobe in this season only weighed about 93 kilograms, while Su Feng weighed a full 6 kilograms more than him.
Weight does not necessarily equal strength, but if Su Feng, who had been working hard on his strength all summer, was bullied by this Kobe who had not yet gained weight and whose low post skills had not yet been developed, then he, Su Feng, should retire and drive a truck with Jordan.
Bang, bang, bang!
Kobe, unable to squeeze Su Feng, became more and more angry, and just as he was about to turn around and jump shot, Su Feng snatched the ball from Kobe's hands.
It was a steal like Iguodala stealing from Turtle!
After stealing the ball, Su Feng dribbled the ball himself and launched a counterattack.
Kobe, with his eyes wide open, followed him all the way, but unfortunately, Su Feng, as the king, sprinted all the way, and then...
Kobe, do you know that my breakthrough can turn?
Just as Su Feng broke through to the Lakers' inside line and Kobe was about to jump up and block him, Su Feng, stepping on the Euro-step, scored his 10th point of the night.
14 to 10.
"I won again, Kobe," Su Feng said, looking at Kobe with a smile on his face after scoring.
The pleasure of a man is so dull and boring.
In the summer, although Su Feng and Kobe had wins and losses in one-on-one, if it was a low-post PK, the current Kobe was no match for Su Feng.
And when the competitiveness of "Leo" surged into his heart, coupled with the stubbornness of "Virgo," some subtle changes occurred in Kobe on this night.
In the first quarter, in the following games, Kobe tried to single out Su Feng in the low post several times, but the result was...
The Lakers' offense was affected.
Once O'Neal was far away from the low post, you couldn't expect him to attack with a high-post jump shot, could you?
26 to 20, after the first quarter, the 76ers, playing away from home, led the Lakers by 6 points.
After scoring 10 points in the first quarter, Su Feng began to focus on tormenting Kobe in the subsequent games.
And Kobe, attacking Su Feng's strengths with his own weaknesses...
Was so angry at the end of the first quarter that he sat on the bench with his jersey in his mouth, shivering.
Something was wrong, what was going on...
OK, who wanted to teach the 76ers a lesson in this game, fell into a state of thinking about life at the same time.
In the second quarter, when they saw Su Feng leading the 76ers' bench to bully the Lakers' bench players such as Fisher, OK couldn't sit still at the same time.
Then, the two people who returned to the court were getting more and more wrong...
After seeing that the score difference between the two teams had been widened to 10 points, O'Neal hurriedly pulled Kobe and said:
"Hey, you can't keep occupying the shark's low post, Kobe, let's play the pick-and-roll."
Um...
Um.
Kobe agreed to O'Neal's request.
However, even though he had been Kobe's teammate for a year, O'Neal, who did not understand Kobe's personality as thoroughly as Su Feng, had no idea what impact his two sentences, one before and one after, would have on Kobe.
You told me to take more shots.
Now you're telling me to play the pick-and-roll with you again...
Although you are the boss of this team, I am not the kind of tool person who has no ability to judge.
To be honest, in Su Feng's previous life, the personalities of these two people, OK, were really not very compatible.
However, fortunately, as long as there was a common enemy like Su Feng, then OK would be the combination in this world whose opinions were easiest to agree on.
Just like Jordan was forced by Su Feng to find God to carry out a new round of fruit loans, imperceptibly, Su Feng's influence on this league was more than just being described as great.
In the first half of the game, after Kobe started playing pick-and-roll with O'Neal again, it became difficult for the 76ers to defend.
Because...
OK, they were cheating, you know?
The pick-and-roll tactic is the simplest tactic on the basketball court.
But it is also the most unsolvable tactic at the same time.
Before the end of the first half, the Lakers changed the score between the two teams to 50 to 46.
During the halftime break, O'Neal was relieved to see that the point difference had returned. He smiled and patted Kobe on the shoulder and said, "Kobe, good job."
After nodding, Kobe silently glanced at Su Feng and his stats.
5 points and 16 points...
5 assists and 0 assists.
Why...
That guy is playing so selfishly, but he is still leading us?
Kobe was confused.
Just as Kobe was racking his brains, Brown, after the halftime break, prepared to unleash the big move he had prepared specifically for this Lakers team.
Eric Montross, who had not played much this season, came on the court.
Tch, in the 90s, including the beginning of the century, which team didn't have a big meat shield?
Brown didn't use Montross at the beginning of the game tonight because after coming to the 76ers, the only instruction Montross received was to gain weight, gain weight, and gain weight again.
This meat shield, who was always with fried chicken, had limited stamina, and he was also responsible for carrying O'Neal, so in Brown's opinion, about 15 minutes of playing time was Montross's limit...
Now, it was time to tell this Lakers team that they were the Knicks of the West!
