Chapter 213 The Era's God of Basketball Descends

On the court, with Marbury's pass slapped out of bounds by Carter, Duncan's return to the court in front of the scorer's table quickly livened up the arena, which had been somewhat quieted by the "Raptors Twin Stars."

And above the North Shore Garden Arena's dome...

The dozens of flags fluttering in the wind seemed to be cheering for Duncan.

But...

Just as nearly 20,000 Celtics fans were chanting "Tim, Tim"...

The next scene on the court stunned these crazy Green Army supporters.

"Su —————— Feng!"

LeBron James.

A super high school student from Akron, Ohio.

At only 15 years old, he was hailed as the "Next Jordan" and a "USA version of Su Feng".

When he noticed Su Feng walking towards Duncan, how could he, mixed in with the Green Army fans in the stands, suppress the burning passion in his chest?

You know, tonight, if you count the matchup with Ray Allen in the second quarter, Su Feng has already faced Ron Artest, Ray Allen...

And Duncan.

Please forgive James' limited language skills at this moment.

Because, at this moment, besides shouting Su Feng's name, he couldn't find another way to express his admiration for Su Feng.

On the court, hearing James' support for him, Su Feng pointed to James in the stands with his left hand, and then clenched his right hand into a fist, hitting his chest three times.

"Truly a courageous little fellow," Duncan said, looking down at Su Feng, giving James his first compliment in this life.

Looking up at Duncan, Su Feng smiled and said, "His will be the era after mine."

Duncan was amused.

Because in Little Duncan's view, Su Feng had only tormented the fathead in Los Angeles for two years, so how could it be said that he had already entered his era?

See, in this life, since being selected by Auerbach to the East, Duncan has become bolder when evaluating O'Neal.

On the court, after Duncan came on, it was the Celtics' sideline ball.

Marbury got the ball.

Duncan didn't go to the high post to screen for Marbury, because of his advantage in tonnage and height, so after giving Su Feng a smile that bloomed like a ten-mile peach blossom of three lifetimes, Duncan directly pinned down the low post.

"Although I don't know what John is thinking..."

"But in this league, a player who can defend Tim..."

"Does not exist either." Auerbach said, seeing this scene from the sidelines.

(Garnett: Doesn't that mean Ha Wang isn't human?)

Bang, bang!

In the restricted area, because Duncan's wingspan was also exaggerated, Su Feng didn't try to go around him in this defense.

As a result, after Duncan received a lob pass from his teammate on the wing...

Britney, who was cursing Su Feng a second ago, couldn't help but worry about Su Feng at this time.

There was no suspense.

Just as Auerbach said, if one person is excluded, Duncan indeed has few opponents in this league.

But...

Did Su Feng not know this?

In the low post, just as Duncan completed his turn, Su Feng's shadow appeared in front of him!

It was actually...

Ben Wallace.

Because there was an unparalleled understanding between himself and Big Ben, this was why Su Feng asked Jackson to switch with him.

What a joke.

Whether it was dealing with O'Neal...

Or Duncan.

Su Feng never thought that he could stop these interior beasts all by himself.

Bang, clang!

In the restricted area, under the left and right pincer attack of Su Feng and Big Ben, although Duncan relied on his height advantage to complete the shot, Duncan's haphazard bank shot failed at this moment under strong interference.

So now the question is.

Why didn't Duncan choose to pass the ball, but chose to do it himself?

Well...

First of all, because Big Ben's double-teaming came very suddenly, Duncan couldn't just pass the ball to his teammate like he was playing a game, right?

Secondly, on the basketball court, including future 2K games, when you're double-teamed, even if you have a God's perspective, it's impossible to pass the ball out 100% of the time.

Otherwise, where would most players' average of 7 or 8 turnovers per game come from?

Therefore, under this circumstance, if you, as the team's star player, still don't take the shot, then you're really deliberately shirking responsibility.

And what's obvious is, Duncan isn't the type of player who likes to shirk responsibility.

On the court, after Jackson secured the rebound for the Raptors, the game continued.

Duncan's entry made the Celtics' interior tougher all of a sudden.

This ball, after Carter cut into the restricted area with the ball, was forced down in an emergency under Duncan's help defense and interference.

Artest grabbed the rebound, and the Celtics launched a counterattack.

As a result, I don't know if it was because Jackson looked too kind...

In any case, Artest's ball was quite impulsive.

Tonight, after being shut down by Su Feng to the point of self-isolation, he seemed to have been hit by Jackson's G-spot, and he was extremely excited.

However...

As the saying goes, a man's climax comes quickly and goes quickly.

This ball, Artest had only broken through halfway...

When he was directly elbowed awake by Jackson.

What the hell!

Where did this wild boy come from, actually daring to compete with me, Ron Artest?

Clang——!

Near the free throw line, Artest, who was forced to slow down under Jackson's help defense, just wanted to use his big elbow to help Jackson open his bloodline limit, but who would have thought...

Social "Martial Saint," ruthless and taciturn.

Before Artest could make a move, Jackson's elbow hit him squarely on the forehead!

Beep——!

And as Artest's brow bone was opened by Jackson, the referees on the sidelines hurriedly stopped the game.

Yes...

You read that right.

Because of the angle of view, the referees' purpose in blowing the whistle wasn't to call a foul on Jackson.

But because of someone's influence, once a player's bleeding accident occurs in an NBA game, the referees must immediately stop the game.

"Are you okay?" Looking at Artest, who was slumped on the ground and still dizzy, Jackson took the initiative to step forward and "friendly" asked.

And at this time...

Artest, who originally wanted to get up and argue with Jackson, immediately deflated like a punctured balloon after noticing Big Ben and Barkley surrounding Jackson.

In Artest's view, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late.

So since the enemy has more people, he still has to be a coward.

It's a pity...

If Su Feng knew Artest's true thoughts, he would definitely tell Artest...

In fact, Jackson's combat power is probably the strongest on the court at this moment.

North Shore Garden Arena, the game continued after Artest's wound was treated.

Duncan hit a bank hook shot before Big Ben's help defense arrived.

85 to 84.

Back on the other end, Carter's mid-range shot missed, and after Duncan grabbed the rebound, Marbury launched a transition offense, and Ray Allen scored with a fast break layup.

85 to 86.

On TNT, Smith objectively analyzed, "Tonight, John Davis chose to place his bet on the early part of the fourth quarter..."

"But if the Raptors can't establish an advantage in the early part of the fourth quarter, then it will be difficult for them to play next."

Clang——!

On the court, Carter's pull-up jumper still didn't go in, and the Celtics got possession.

At this time, on the Celtics' bench, Auerbach couldn't help but sigh after noticing the calm expression on Su Feng's face, "Su's endurance is really terrifying."

Listening to Auerbach's praise of Su Feng, Karl started scratching his head again.

And Auerbach patiently explained to Karl, "Although in my opinion, Phil is just an ordinary head coach, there's still something to his six-minute theory in the fourth quarter."

Hearing this, Karl immediately understood what Auerbach wanted to express, "Teacher, do you mean, Su is resting?"

"Yes, isn't this his consistent style?" Auerbach smiled.

Resting while playing...

And in such a high-intensity game...

Honestly speaking...

In Karl's view, people's physiques really can't be generalized.

On the court, after Marbury added two more points for the Celtics with a layup, in the Raptors' next offensive possession, just as Auerbach said, Su Feng still chose to hand the ball to Carter.

In fact, if Little O'Neal and Nash hadn't been injured tonight, even if Su Feng really liked to pad his average playing time, he would definitely have asked to rest for a while in the early part of the fourth quarter.

But...

Who asked the Little Raptors to be from a poor family with no one available?

Therefore, where did Davis choose to overuse Su Feng on this night?

It was just that Su Feng chose to overuse himself.

Obviously, Smith is becoming more and more unprofessional after retiring.

Because contrary to what he thought...

Tonight, what Davis chose to bet on was not the early part of the fourth quarter.

But...

The latter half of the fourth quarter.

You need to know that the reason why Davis arranged for Su Feng and Carter to play together was to use Su Feng's deterrence to allow Carter to go all out on the offensive end.

And in this way, even if Su Feng still maintained 100% focus on the defensive end, his personal physical burden would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, how many points Carter and other Raptors players could score before Su Feng's CD was over...

Was the key to whether the Raptors could reverse the Celtics in this game.

As for the rest?

In a game like this, besides choosing to trust Su Feng, what other options did Davis have?

"Teacher, do you think Su is actively defending Tim to consume Tim's stamina?" In the final quarter, as the game progressed, Karl suddenly asked Auerbach.

After thinking for a long time, Auerbach said, "My dear child, I think you might be right."

Terrifying.

It's really too terrifying.

Is this man treating himself like Iron Man?

Looking at Su Feng, who was once again double-teaming Duncan with Big Ben on the court, Karl always felt that Su Feng had surpassed Jordan in some sense.

Because with Jordan's IQ, how could he calculate five steps ahead like Su Feng?

"However, I'm very curious..."

"Will Su really have the stamina to help the Raptors complete the comeback later?" On the Celtics' bench, Auerbach stroked his chin and pondered.

Emmmm.

You could say that the salt eaten by old people is more than the rice eaten by young people, right?

Actually, at this point in the game, Su Feng was purely relying on willpower to support himself.

Whether it was the blessing of the "Godly Buff" or Su Feng's own talent...

With the intensity of tonight's game, no matter who you replaced him with, it would be impossible to be 100% involved on both the offensive and defensive ends like Su Feng, without resting for a minute.

But...

I don't know why...

Even though he really wanted to close his eyes, lie down, and never get up, at this moment, Su Feng was getting more and more excited as he played.

And soon, Auerbach got the answer he wanted.

In the final quarter, with 6 minutes and 11 seconds left, Su Feng suddenly launched his first attack of the quarter.

Cut in, stop suddenly, pull-up jumper.

Behind this beautiful pull-up jumper was the muscle memory that Su Feng had cultivated day and night.

Swish——!

93 to 98.

In front of the TV, the Raptors fans, who had been suppressed for a long time, were instantly ignited by Su Feng's pull-up jumper.

On the sidelines, on the Celtics' bench, after sighing deeply, Auerbach patted Karl's shoulder and said, "Prepare yourself, my child.

Now...

The 'God of Basketball' of this era is about to descend."

North Shore Garden Arena, it was the Celtics' turn to attack.

After Duncan and Marbury completed a pick-and-roll, Duncan, who cut down, scored his 30th point of the night with a bank layup.

And coming back, Ron Artest, who had put on a headband to cover his eyebrow bone injury, was clinging to Su Feng like a mad dog.

Sorry, he Artest doesn't believe in that God of Basketball stuff.

As far as Artest is concerned, even if Su Feng is really the God of Basketball, he would never...

Swish——!

No!

You...

You can really make it!

On the court, looking at Su Feng, who was drifting in the air, the young Artest was completely out of temper.

95 to 100.

After hitting this fadeaway jumper, Su Feng's personal score in this game had risen to 49 points.

And at this time...

Even though the Celtics were still leading by 5 points, the atmosphere in the entire North Shore Garden Arena was becoming more and more tense.

Su Feng, in his previous life, had the same feeling when he watched that famous Curry coronation battle.

That is...

Even though the Thunder were always leading, you just felt that on that night, it wasn't safe no matter how much the Thunder led.

On the court, at the crucial moment, Ray Allen also stood up.

After this gentlemanly sword scored a valuable three-pointer for the Celtics outside the three-point line through a screen, the Celtics' lead had expanded to 8 points.

In Ray Allen's view, no matter how explosive Su Feng's scoring ability was, and no matter how high the Raptors' fighting spirit was at this moment, after this three-pointer of his, the Raptors' counterattacking flames should be extinguished.

However...

From the faces of the Raptors players at this moment, Ray Allen couldn't see even a trace of panic.

Jaric dribbled the ball past half-court.

The Raptors set up their offense.

On both wings, Big Ben and Barkley, who had returned to the court two minutes ago, began their strenuous screen-setting.

Then, Su Feng circled to the high post.

Then, Su Feng received a pass from his teammate.

And then...

Ron Artest showed an expression of extreme horror.

In that instant, watching Su Feng, who was preparing to shoot from well beyond the three-point line, Artest used all his strength and lunged at Su Feng, regardless of everything.

But...

Who would have thought that this was actually Su Feng's pump fake!

Okay, in the current NBA, you probably couldn't find another player who could shake an opponent with a pump fake from so far away.

On the court, watching Artest lunging at him, Su Feng didn't dodge.

He didn't think about dodging either.

He leaned towards Artest on purpose.

Beep——!

Reaching foul, three free throws.

See, on Su Feng's path to kingship, where did so many strokes of genius come from?

All there was was the rational use of his own skills, as well as timely insight into the defensive players' positioning, mentality, and making the best choice.

You need to know that Su Feng couldn't have gotten to where he is today by relying on mental attributes alone.

North Shore Garden Arena, after Su Feng made all three free throws, the Raptors once again narrowed the point difference between the two teams to 5 points.

At the same time, theoretically speaking, after scoring "50+" points in three consecutive games, Su Feng had also completed the first tier of the "Devil's Challenge" mission.

After all, unless Artest could open a cheat like Curry, in Su Feng's view, the probability of him getting 10 points or more in this game was about the same as Britney sparing his life tonight.

The game continued, and as the leading team, the Celtics became impatient with this ball.

Marbury's reckless layup was swatted away by Big Ben, and Jaric grabbed the second rebound.

The Raptors launched a counterattack, and Su Feng, running to the frontcourt before even entering the three-point line, attracted the attention of three Celtics players who were quickly retreating.

Obviously, as long as Su Feng got the ball, he would be immediately double-teamed by Artest, Ray Allen, and Pietrus.

But...

Is it really good to pay so much attention to Su Feng?

Clang——!

Thanks to Su Feng's terrifying traction, Carter ran to the Celtics' basket almost without any interference.

100 to 103.

On the sidelines, the Celtics called a timeout.

On TNT, Smith said with emotion, "This is the most terrifying thing about Su... Even if he doesn't attack, you have to have two to three players take care of him at all times."

And on the side, Derek echoed, "As the best outside player in the league right now, he deserves that kind of treatment."

North Shore Garden Arena, after the timeout, the Celtics got possession.

It must be said that Auerbach's timeout was very timely.

On the court, after the patient Celtics paved the way for Duncan, Duncan scored under the basket with a post fadeaway against Barkley.

100 to 105.

And at this time...

Su Feng, who was so tired that he didn't even want to talk, really wanted to complain about the Duncan and Auerbach combination.

No cap, no lie, is Popovich and Duncan as scary as Auerbach and Duncan?

Taking Popovich, who was no longer magical after not having Duncan in this life, as an example...

Su Feng never felt that Popovich could see through Davis' intentions so easily when playing against the Spurs, like Auerbach.

In addition, wasn't Miller Karl just a unlucky guy who died in the Green Army's power struggle in his original timeline?

But in this life...

Under Auerbach's careful cultivation, in Su Feng's view, this guy was only one step away from becoming a generation of famous coaches.

Swish——!

On the court, after Su Feng scored two more points for the Raptors with a difficult leaning fadeaway...

While retreating, Su Feng felt that everything that was happening in the space he was currently in was, besides being outrageous...

Still outrageous.

"I'm still too weak after all."

At this moment, Su Feng muttered to himself.

…
