Silently Writing

Chapter 165 The Strongest Person!

Unfortunately, today's mobile phones aren't smart enough...

Otherwise, Su Feng would definitely take a ton of photos of Little O'Neal sitting on the sidelines, collecting material for chats.

Right now, Little O'Neal doesn't have cornrows yet. Sporting a flattop, he has a "small, awkward face." You could say that with this kind of image...

He's destined to be incompatible with iron-bloodedness.

Do you know why James Harden would grow a big beard in the future?

Because without a big beard, with that silly, goofy face of his, where would the intimidation come from?

On the court, the Trail Blazers were on the attack.

In Su Feng's previous life, Carlesimo's career winning percentage was less than 44%. It wasn't that he hadn't coached strong teams, but no matter how good the configuration you gave him, he couldn't teach anything fancy.

If players determine a team's lower limit, the upper limit still needs to be raised by the coach.

Of course, coaching teams like the Bulls is another matter. After all, the "KFC spokesperson" can even come to the NBA as a guest head coach.

Speaking of which, the 76ers are adopting a strategy of defending the paint to the death tonight.

Because the Trail Blazers' three-point shooting is terrible. With Rider's "fate uncertain," their most accurate three-point shooter on the court is...

Sabonis.

On the court, Anderson wanted to shift into high gear after using Wallace's screen.

Philadelphia's Third Traffic Committee reminds you: There are a million roads, safety comes first. Unsafe driving leads to tears.

Ben ignored Anderson and went straight for Wallace, who was preparing to cut to the outside.

And Anderson, who had just broken through to the free-throw line, hadn't even enjoyed the thrill of speeding before being stopped by Su Feng.

Didn't you see the sign, kid? You're not worthy of this highway if you're not fast enough!

The bane of pick-and-roll tactics is this kind of defense that can rotate at high speed.

Anderson panicked, because Su Feng's timing for helping out this time was perfect. His figure completely blocked Anderson's line of sight for passing to the other side.

As everyone knows, there are blind spots in a person's perspective. The NBA is indeed a bunch of cheaters playing ball, but...

They're not the kind of cheaters with heavenly eyes from manga!

In Su Feng's previous life, many people were deceived by Nash's dashing and freehand passing.

Many people simply think that when you encounter help defense or a double team, you just pass the ball, right?

In theory, there's nothing wrong with that statement.

Because if Su Feng helps defend, the 76ers will definitely form a situation of more players against fewer on the other end.

But theory is just theory after all.

Because if it were so easy to pass the ball out when faced with a double team or help defense, where would so many blooper compilations in the NBA come from?

Looking at the history of the NBA, there are only a few who can be called "grandmasters" in passing and organization.

Nash's passing, where he can still feed the ball in fancy ways without looking and with a very low turnover rate when encountering help defense, I don't know how many players have been labeled as "unable to pass the ball."

Anderson, who was locked down by Su Feng, was in a dilemma at this moment. Lacking absolute speed, he couldn't climb Su Feng's big tree.

After hesitating for half a second, Anderson resolutely faked a shot and then took off again, using his actions to prove that hesitation leads to defeat, and decisiveness is free points for the opponent.

*Pa*—!

Oh, Anderson's basketball dream is gone.

Iverson grabbed the second rebound, and Su Feng quickly followed up.

Recently, a famous saying about the '96 golden generation has been circulating in the United States:

"Golden Double Guns," you can conquer the world if you get one, and if you get both...

Then you don't have to worry about your interior upgrade progress anymore!

Ahem, let's get back to the main topic.

On the court, "Ai-Feng" completed a pao-huang (cannon emperor) connection with the speed of lightning!

Iverson threw the ball towards the backboard, and after the basketball rebounded, it was slammed into the basket by Su Feng!

Hooray!

This is a dunk that splits the Pyrenees!

After landing, Su Feng spread his arms and looked around with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm awesome?"

May I ask, which school has the strongest mountain-splitting skills in the NBA?

Find Maple Emperor in Philadelphia's "Eastern Prison District"!

Inside the Zhongzhou Arena, the emotions of nearly 20,000 fans were instantly ignited like a pressure cooker!

This, is Su Feng!

Look, the man who is feeding him the ball, the "Nash" of the team, is the first-generation pao-ying (cannon shadow), Philadelphia's Black Flash, Allen Iverson!

"Su, we will definitely win a championship together!" On the court, while retreating on defense, Iverson once again extended his left fist to Su Feng.

But this time, Su Feng still couldn't bump fists with Iverson.

Because Su Feng's attention was attracted by Little O'Neal's wonderful expression.

And when he turned his head, Iverson had already started fixing his hair like Hart, the future high-five master.

Su Feng smiled and patted Iverson on the shoulder, saying, "Go boldly to steal the ball, Allen, I've got your back."

"Okay." Iverson nodded.

...

The Trail Blazers, who had been unable to break through the 76ers' defense the entire game...

Their performance tonight was as "wonderful" as the expression of Little O'Neal, who had been sitting on their bench.

Bang, clang, crash!

76 to 90, the 76ers relied on their defense to achieve their second consecutive victory.

Iverson's touch was average this game, but he used his breakthrough to crush Anderson.

Stackhouse's performance rebounded, scoring 22 points on 7-for-18 shooting, plus free throws and a three-pointer.

The only flaw was that, of Stackhouse's seven made shots...

Su Feng didn't get even a single assist.

Having played a full 48 minutes for two consecutive games, Su Feng, who scored 21 points this game, put his arm around Stackhouse's shoulder after the game and said, "Jerry, I think we need to talk."

"..."

Stackhouse felt that his experience with the 76ers these past two years was simply a story sadder than sadness itself.

But, looking at Ben, who even dared to elbow back an evil person like Rider tonight, Stackhouse forced a smile and said to Su Feng, "Okay..."

Su Feng smiled and said, "Jerry, your expression is very unnatural. If you're being coerced, blink."

As soon as he said that, Stackhouse immediately widened his eyes. What coercion?

I'm completely willing, understand!

"Actually, you know, Jerry, you're a senior from North Carolina. Although I didn't go to college, I've always admired North Carolina." Su Feng said, patting Stackhouse on the shoulder.

Please don't...

Big brother, you're the senior, okay?

"So, you can see that I need you to give me some pointers on both offense and defense recently," Su Feng added.

Pointers?

Still pointers?

Who exactly is pointing who!

On the 76ers' bench, after leading the team out of a three-game losing streak with two consecutive wins, Davis, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he looked at the harmonious relationship between Su Feng and Stackhouse.

"Su, he's such a sensible kid." Davis couldn't help but praise.

On the side, Jason and Rick reminded him, "But he's played a full 48 minutes for two consecutive games... John."

In Su Feng's previous life, such a durable high schooler wouldn't appear until Su Feng's successor entered the league in the future.

Back then, in his rookie season, LeBron James' average playing time was 39.5 minutes. You have to know that before starting to play health-preserving basketball, LeBron was also a man who didn't need a substitute.

On the bench, Davis smiled, patting his two assistant coaches on the shoulders, "Do you know what Su said to me a few days ago?"

Jason and Rick shook their heads.

"He said to me: 'My name is Su Feng, a man who never gives up.'"

"This..."

After listening to Davis' words, Jason and Rick didn't know what to say.

"Right now, the most difficult time for the entire 76ers is upon us.

To be honest, I never thought that we would have to rely on an 18-year-old player.

But if we want to continue to create miracles, we need this kind of spirit.

Guys, although not all dreams can blossom and bear fruit in real life, and not everyone can realize their dreams.

But every dream is so splendid, and everyone makes their lives more exciting by pursuing their dreams." Davis said, looking at Jason and Rick.

At this moment, Jason and Rick were moved.

In this era, how amazing is the power of motivational chicken soup?

It's just that...

After being moved, Jason and Rick always felt that they had been tricked by Davis.

Just kidding, did you really think that Davis bought those books about chicken soup for nothing?

The cultivation progress of a famous coach has quietly increased by a few more percentage points.

...

The 76ers, who had won consecutive games against the Clippers and Trail Blazers, had not completely escaped their predicament, because next, they would fly to the West to face a four-game road trip.

On the 24th, the 76ers arrived in Los Angeles to prepare for their away game against the Clippers.

Su Feng didn't get to see Kobe because the Lakers had gone to Houston to challenge the Rockets.

After All-Star Weekend, compared to "Flash," the Los Angeles media now preferred to call Kobe "Little Flying Dagger."

Kobe's recent situation could be described as quite good, except that...

He's ruined quite a few jerseys by chewing on them.

Speaking of which, Kobe's scoring has been in double digits in the Lakers' recent games.

Influenced by Su Feng, after All-Star Weekend, at O'Neal's suggestion, the Lakers players have been encouraging Kobe to score as much as possible when he's on the court.

And although sometimes he feels that this kind of play isn't very reasonable, but as he plays...

Kobe has accepted it.

Su Feng thinks that O'Neal's nickname, "Shark," is really appropriate.

Because he swims in the sea every day, how could his brain not be filled with water?

A good Lower Merion magician has been molded into Kobe Bryant by you guys...

If Su Feng wants to buy a school district house in Los Angeles in the future, what will he do?

But forget it, compared to future school district houses, Su Feng is more concerned about the team's record right now.

You might not believe it, but right now, when Eastern Conference teams meet Western Conference teams, it's like Jordan entering a casino, the way his opponents look at him...

Being able to stabilize their playoff spot and win against these Western Conference scrubs is very important.

On the 15th, in the away game against the Clippers, Su Feng wasn't able to play the full 48 minutes this time...

It's not that Davis didn't want to use him, but the Clippers wouldn't let him.

Baylor is really something. You could say the Clippers he built are weak...

But they're not the weakest.

But if you were to say they're strong?

How many of these names—Loy Vaught, Malik Sealy, Rodney Rogers, Darrick Martin, Bo Outlaw—could even veteran fans who have been watching basketball for over 30 years remember?

Regarding this Clippers team, before watching their game footage, the player Su Feng knew best was their sixth man, Brent Barry.

Barry, nicknamed "White Men Can Jump," assisted Yao Ming in the future and had a good three-point shot. His career three-point percentage was as high as 40.5%, and his playoff three-point percentage was 41.6%.

It's a pity that Barry didn't have many opportunities to perform in this game, because when he came on as a substitute, Su Feng paid special attention to him.

Also as a shooter, Su Feng is the kind of player whose shooting percentage isn't as good as Barry's, but his threat is higher than Barry's.

The Clippers ground out the game with the 76ers this time, and once again successfully ground themselves to death.

Because the Clippers, lacking star players, didn't have anyone who dared to stand up at critical moments.

This kind of team, where everyone is a soldier, has a hard time succeeding in the NBA.

In Su Feng's previous life, some people always said that the Pistons in the future were a team of ordinary players, but in reality...

How can you say that a team with four All-Star players is a team of ordinary players?

Both Wallace brothers had been selected for the All-Star Game before the Pistons won the championship. Hamilton could average 20+ points in Washington. If Billups hadn't had lifestyle problems, he would have made it long ago. Don't forget, he was the third overall pick in '97.

Not to mention that the Pistons' bench at the time also had quality substitutes like Okur and a lucky charm like Milicic...

Leaving aside ancient basketball, in the history of modern basketball, there's no such thing as a team of ordinary players winning the championship.

Because at the moment of life and death, if you don't have a star player who has a knack for making plays, the opponent will be able to defend you until you make constant mistakes and don't even dare to shoot.

In the 2004-05 season, without the dashing Ginobili, the Spurs couldn't break through the Pistons just by relying on Duncan's subtle smile.

Of course, the reason why this Clippers team has everyone acting as a soldier has nothing to do with their team-building philosophy...

It's purely because Baylor is the kind of person who can fill in the wrong answer even if you give him the correct answer.

The funniest joke Su Feng heard in his previous life was that the NBA front offices are all people in high positions, so why should you, a keyboard warrior, criticize their operations?

But in reality, the Clippers' front office is really one where you would definitely be better than them if you were in charge.

Because it doesn't matter if you don't understand basketball, you can just pick the popular choices every year, and you can't fail to win a lottery ticket after ten or twenty consecutive years, right?

Honestly, who would believe that Baylor wasn't a mole sent by the Lakers to the Clippers?

86 to 75, after defeating the Clippers, the 76ers flew non-stop to Phoenix to prepare for their back-to-back game against the Suns on the 26th.

It's worth mentioning that Danny Ainge has come out of retirement after completing the trade for Kidd with the Mavericks.

Although they lost Barkley, the Suns are still strong.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Suns would once again win 50+ games in the next season.

Facts have proven that besides the rim, there's also Blount who can defend Kidd.

After arriving in Phoenix, Kidd's heart has returned to the court, if not repenting, at least he is now focused.

With Kevin Johnson and Ceballos, two All-Star perimeter players, Ainge is currently leading this Suns team, playing a running-and-gunning style that is unique to the '90s.

It won't be until they trade for McDyess next season that the Suns will return to the embrace of iron-bloodedness.

And in this game, in order to prove that he is the successor to the "chief point guard," Kidd successfully locked down Iverson.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the career matchups between Kidd and Iverson, there were times when Kidd and Iverson exploded against each other.

Kidd once limited Iverson's single-game score to below 10 points, but Iverson also scored many 40+ points over Kidd's head.

Kidd is tall, with both speed and strength, making him one of the most ideal "point guard models." In this game, he made good use of his body to "bully" Iverson, and in turn, he also marked Iverson so tightly that Iverson was annoyed.

But when you turn around and look at the stats, you'll find...

Huh?

Iverson's defense doesn't seem that bad either...

Wake up, stop deceiving yourselves, Iverson fans. It's not that Iverson's defense is good, it's purely because Kidd's nickname is "Steel Hand"!

"Steel Magician," Jason Kidd, used his actions to prove that as long as you're "tough" enough, you can brick layups.

In this game against the Suns, Ben and Ratliff, who repeatedly went to help defend for Iverson, were both dumbfounded.

Because they didn't get blocks, but they successfully picked up rebounds.

How lucky were the 76ers to pass this test?

At the end of the fourth quarter, leading the Suns by only two points, if it weren't for Kidd standing up, the outcome of this game would have been hard to say.

Iverson played poorly, going 3-for-16 this game and only scoring 8 points including free throws, but Kidd, who was guarding him, went 6-for-17 and only scored 15 points including free throws.

The key to the 76ers' victory on this night was Stackhouse.

In this game, the 95th overall pick, Jordan's junior, the 76ers' strongest sixth man, went 15-for-23 and scored a career-high 39 points!

97 to 95, after the game, Su Feng, who also set a career-high in assists (7), was overjoyed.

Who said Stackhouse wasn't a star?

Just for this game, Su Feng is willing to call him the strongest sixth man on the planet.

After the game, Stackhouse was very excited during the interview, and repeatedly mentioned his good working relationship with Su Feng in his words.

"Jerry, there's a very interesting statistic this season, which is that Su's favorite passing target isn't Allen, but you. Are you and Su usually close in private?" the reporters asked.

"Of course, Su and I have a very good relationship. I often went to watch him play when he was still in Lower Merion," Stackhouse replied without blinking.

And seeming to feel that the effort wasn't enough, Stackhouse added after thinking for a while:

"Really, Su and I are so close that we share a blanket on the plane and are inseparable wherever we go."

The reporters were overjoyed, thinking that the atmosphere within the 76ers was really harmonious.

On the side, Su Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Although he always felt that there was something strange about Stackhouse's words, that was no longer important.

Because after winning a four-game winning streak, the Philadelphia 76ers, who are seventh in the East, are back!

Jordan is very satisfied and wants to give the 76ers' recent performance a thumbs up.

Riley's neck is a bit cold, because he has plunged his head into an ice bucket again...
