Chapter 172 The Speed of Light Slap in the Face?

Is this the legendary speed of light slap in the face?

On the court, looking at the man who had instantly silenced the entire North Shore Garden Arena...

A-Tai, who had been arrogant before, was now completely dumbfounded.

Silence.

What silence it was?

At this moment...

In this basketball hall that can accommodate 20,000 people, you can even clearly hear James cheering for Su Feng from the stands through the TV broadcast.

Silence is the highest praise that this arena, which once possessed supreme glory, gives to Su Feng at this moment.

However...

Just when Su Feng shocked the entire arena with this wonderful dunk...

On the court...

A comical scene appeared.

Bending over, picking up the ball, and then grabbing it with one hand.

Under the Celtics' basket, after waving a few windmills in place with his equally long arms, Duncan said to Su Feng with a puzzled look: "Don't try to fool me, Su!

There must be an anti-gravity engine hidden in your shoes, right?"

Su Feng: "..."

If chatting with people like Pierce, A-Tai, and Carter can make you angry...

Then, in Su Feng's opinion, you have to wear a few more layers of clothes when chatting with people like Duncan.

Because, Duncan's cold jokes...

Are the really, really cold kind.

However, compared to the cold joke Duncan told himself...

When Su Feng noticed that the fans in the entire arena were amused by Duncan's "performance art" just now...

Su Feng felt the terror of this Duncan in invisible ways.

No abusive words.

Nor any impotent rage.

And no death stare.

At this moment, Duncan easily allowed the fans in this arena to quickly get rid of the shadow created by himself.

It is worth mentioning that, on the sidelines, Auerbach, who was originally planning to let Miller Karl go to the technical table to apply for a timeout, also pulled Karl back after noticing this scene.

"No need, Miller, come back, we don't need to call a timeout anymore."

On the court, the game continued, and the Celtics attacked.

Duncan successfully got to the low post.

And on the wing, how dare A-Tai be presumptuous in this ball?

After the basketball was transferred through A-Tai's side...

In the Raptors' restricted area, Duncan quickly made Barkley wear the same painful mask that Da Ben had worn before.

There was no way, young people these days are becoming more and more unethical.

Take Duncan's ball for example...

Do you think this kind of behavior of bullying old comrades is good?

Of course not good.

In Barkley's opinion, he had clearly defended all of it.

But helplessly...

Duncan actually used a despicable bank shot hook to sneak attack him...

What can Barkley do?

Bang, swish!

4 to 6.

No fancy skills.

This is Tim Duncan.

In Su Feng's mind, besides himself...

The strongest "tactical core" in the current NBA.

The Raptors attacked.

Although Su Feng had just taught him a lesson, A-Tai's defensive method of blocking one side did have a miraculous effect.

On the outside, Su Feng, who easily broke through A-Tai's defense, failed to face Duncan head-on under Duncan's help defense.

After a strong physical confrontation with Duncan, Su Feng's forceful attempt bounced off the rim.

Pita Panako protected the rebound.

The Celtics took the opportunity to pursue.

As the saying goes, you should pursue the defeated enemy with the remaining courage, and don't try to be a hegemon for fame.

In the past two years, inspired by the Raptors, the Celtics are also one of the teams in the league that are best at playing transition offense.

This season, on the team's average fast break scoring list, the Celtics are second only to the Raptors and the Suns.

Swish!

At the North Shore Garden Arena, Ray Allen's chase-down three-pointer went through the net.

At this time, the Raptors took the lead in requesting a timeout.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Davis, who was nicknamed the "New Zen Master" by Raptors fans, didn't intend to continue to maintain his Zen persona.

Looking up at the dome of the North Shore Garden Arena, at the flags fluttering in the wind, at this moment, Su Feng, with his hands on his hips, almost couldn't remember...

When was the last time the Raptors were forced to call a timeout first in a game.

If the previous game with the Suns was the game where Su Feng wanted to achieve the highest personal difficulty in this devil challenge upgraded version task.

Then this game with the Celtics, in Su Feng's opinion, the biggest difficulty lies in how he can win the game while swiping data.

In short...

From the very beginning, Su Feng never thought about completing this challenge task in the way I did.

Huh?

You say Su Feng is pretentious?

Hey...

What's so pretentious about this?

You say if playing basketball isn't for winning, then why doesn't Su Feng go home and inherit his family business earlier?

To put it bluntly, swiping data is a pretty embarrassing thing in itself.

In his previous life, after the NBA entered the 21st century, there was a relatively strange law...

That is, the team where the player who won the scoring title in that season was located would eventually miss the championship.

Including Stephen Curry, who led the Warriors to a 73-9 record in the regular season in the 15/16 season, also failed to escape this curse.

Therefore, it looks like Su Feng's playing style is very poisonous, but in fact, Su Feng has never forgotten his original intention of winning the game.

Therefore, if he can only choose one between record and winning, then Su Feng will definitely choose the latter instead of the former.

Of course, for Su Feng, who is used to wanting everything, even if there is only a glimmer of possibility...

He wouldn't give up his idea of wanting everything.

On the court, after the timeout, the Raptors attacked.

The Celtics defended with a 1-4 zone defense, trying to limit Carter's breakthrough while defending Su Feng by using a four-man zone defense on the other side.

Look...

In this league, Su Feng is not the only one who wants to have it all.

Because the Celtics' defensive strategy is gambling in a sense.

Auerbach is betting that Su Feng can't be as hot as he was in the previous two games.

And Su Feng?

In the stands, young LeBron James was once again taught a lesson by his "mentor" Su Feng on this night.

That is...

In this situation, as the team leader, going forward is your only option.

On the left wing, Su Feng received a pass from Jaric.

And then...

Along the side that A-Tai deliberately let go, Su Feng started his imperial engine without thinking.

And at this moment, A-Tai, who had been slapped in the face by Su Feng before, once again showed a smug smile on his face.

Heh...

Is this the current number one player in the NBA?

It's really funny!

Oh?

Is it very funny?

On the court, Su Feng, who felt that his body was extremely flexible, suddenly slammed on the brakes in the process of sprinting at full speed.

Then...

Jump, hang in the air, and flick his wrist.

Swish!

What a signature fadeaway jumper this is?

In Kenny Smith's words...

Even the textbook is not as standard as Su Feng's shot.

"You know, when I was facing Michael, why did I rarely use this trick to deal with him?" After scoring the goal, Su Feng did not forget to give A-Tai some pointers.

A-Tai was stumped by Su Feng's question.

"Can't figure it out, right?

Then think about it slowly!" Su Feng said, looking at A-Tai's confused face.

A-Tai: "..."

No...

It's fine if you teach me how to do things...

You deliberately sold out halfway through the teaching...

What do you mean?

Obviously, with A-Tai's brain capacity, he couldn't understand the mystery in Su Feng's question for a while.

On the sidelines, Auerbach thought for a while and said to his disciple Karl: "If Su can score on the next ball, then switch back to man-to-man defense."

Hearing this, Karl said in confusion: "But tonight, Ron has successfully defended Su twice, teacher."

Auerbach shook his head and said: "For a scorer of Su's level, if we can't limit his shots, then what if we can defend him ten or twenty times?"

Listening to Auerbach's explanation, Karl was still a little puzzled.

At this time, Auerbach took the tactical board and circled two areas on the court for Karl.

"Su can not only break through, but also shoot three-pointers..."

Under Auerbach's explanation, Karl understood.

Because Su Feng is a comprehensive scorer, although A-Tai can use the method of blocking one side to force Su Feng to only make choices on the other side...

However, due to the limitation of the zone defense and the existence of blind spots on the basketball court, as long as Su Feng can keep shooting in these two blind spots...

Then, on the contrary, the Celtics will be more helpless when facing him.

And this...

Is also why even though Jordan's three-pointers are not as accurate as his younger generations, he couldn't be defended under the rules of the 90s.

In short, because scoring under the basket is the scoring method with the highest success rate on the basketball court, so when the offensive player cuts into the three-point line, the first thing the help defense player has to do is to stand in the basket in advance.

And because the three-pointer is the most efficient way to score on the basketball court, in order to avoid being stolen by the offensive player, the defensive player must make a decision before the offensive player makes an offensive move.

Therefore, on the basketball court, the mid-range area one step inside the three-point line on the left and right wings is the blind spot that the defensive side has to give to the offensive player.

"Do you know what is the most terrifying thing about Su as a player?" On the Celtics' bench, Auerbach suddenly asked, looking at Karl who had suddenly realized.

Karl shook his head.

After sighing, Auerbach pointed to his brain and said to Karl: "He is too smart.

Because even Larry back then couldn't make such correct decisions every time he attacked."

On the court, the Celtics' positional battle failed to score, and the Raptors attacked.

Just as A-Tai once again forced Su Feng to only launch an attack from the other side...

Almost exactly the same as just now.

Swish!

Another textbook-like fadeaway jumper.

"Do you remember what I told you when I reviewed the Raptors' games against the Nets and the Suns with you before?" On the sidelines, Auerbach asked Karl again.

After thinking for a while, Karl replied: "When playing against the Nets, although Su's touch was average, he still took more than a dozen shots from the outside."

"Because in that game, Su's mid-range and breakthrough efficiency was very high, so do you also think that he shouldn't have taken so many long shots from the outside?" Auerbach asked again.

Karl nodded.

"But, have you ever thought about why the Nets didn't dare to use zone defense to deal with Su in that game?" Auerbach continued to ask.

At this time, Karl felt that he was stumped again.

"Because Su's dozen or so three-point shots have already caused the Nets' players to subconsciously feel a sense of fear towards him.

And this situation has also been confirmed in their game with the Suns.

That is, compared to being killed by Su with two-pointers, people are more afraid of being killed by his unreasonable three-pointers." Auerbach explained.

So...

So that's how it is!

Listening to the interpretation from Auerbach, at this moment, when Karl turned his gaze back to the court, he always felt that people in this era...

Still underestimated Su Feng a bit too much.

"Someone once asked me what kind of playing style Tim's playing style is.

And my answer is also very simple...

That is, Tim's playing style has always been the most old-fashioned playing style on the court.

But, now it seems that Su's playing style is the most old-fashioned playing style." Auerbach laughed.

The most...

The most old-fashioned playing style?

On the sidelines, Karl, who originally felt that he had already understood...

Was once again confused by Auerbach.

But this time, Auerbach did not continue to explain to Karl.

Because as his future designated successor...

Auerbach had already fed the rice to Karl's mouth, so he couldn't even help Karl eat that bite of rice, right?

"Miller, in the past two years, through studying John (Davis), you have gained a lot of insights on the tactical level.

But, if you want to become a head coach who can stand alone like John...

Then in my opinion, you must conduct more in-depth research on the top players in this league.

Because no matter how the basketball tactics change... it still needs the players on the court to execute them.

In the previous era, before Michael was born, many of us believed that the center was the soul of a team.

And in this era, you can find that outside players like Su are already dominating this league in their own way.

But what about the next era?

Is it the point guard era?

Or the center era?

Even I can't guarantee this.

Because... without players, basketball is nothing." Patting Karl on the shoulder, Auerbach said earnestly.

Hearing this, in addition to taking notes carefully, Karl always felt that...

His teacher seemed to be a few years older than before this year.

On the court, in the first quarter of the game, in the back-and-forth battle between the Raptors and the Celtics, the Raptors trailed 25-27.

And in the first quarter of the game alone, Su Feng had already scored 15 points.

In the second quarter, Su Feng did not rest, and on the Celtics' side, they replaced the second lineup composed of two inside tool players plus Bowen, Hu Weidong, and Ray Allen.

In his previous life, before completely transforming into a pure shooter, Ray Allen actually played point guard in many games in the early stages of his career.

It has to be said that after more than two seasons of running-in and reinforcement, this Celtics team is now not only luxurious in its main lineup, but even their second lineup is terrifying in Su Feng's opinion.

Honestly, even if O'Neal Jr. and Nash are there...

Now playing against the Celtics, Su Feng feels that the Raptors can only account for at most 5.1 to 4.9.

And in Su Feng's opinion...

This may be the happiest thing for him this season.

Because...

People, after being lonely for a long time, will get this kind of master disease.

In the words of Comrade Li Yunlong...

He, Su Feng, is playing against the elite!

However...

Perhaps because of over-excitement, at the beginning of the second quarter, under the double-teaming of Bowen and Hu Weidong, Su Feng's first four shots all deviated from the basket...

"No way, no way... the kind of thing where you make 17 out of 47 shots shouldn't happen to me, right?"

On the court, looking at the crazy increase in the number of shots and missed shots on his statistics, Su Feng always felt that he might create an embarrassing record tonight.

At this time, on the Celtics' bench, Karl, who was growing wildly under Auerbach's violent feeding, asked in confusion: "Teacher... didn't you say before that if we can't limit Su's shots, then even if we can defend him ten or twenty times, it's useless?"

Auerbach nodded in relief.

"But now... we don't seem to have a way to limit Su's shots." Karl said with a worried look.

Hearing this, after patting Karl on the shoulder, Auerbach smiled and said: "Miller, my best student...

Do you know that sometimes, when facing players like Su, you must learn to compromise.

Either choose to let him kill you, or...

You kill him."

On the sidelines, looking at the calm Auerbach...

At this moment, Karl felt that he had understood again.

And on the court, after missing five shots in a row, just like Auerbach said...

On the sixth shot, Karl found that he couldn't see any hesitation on Su Feng's face.

Swish!

It seems that Su Feng's previous five choices might have been better if they were handed over to his teammates to handle.

But...

Would that kind of Su Feng make the Celtics have to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress him?

Swish!

Swish!

North Shore Garden Arena.

The Celtics fans, who were still immersed in Su Feng's happy sounds of hitting the iron in the previous second...

In the next second, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because...

The "god of death" who had almost single-handedly defeated the Nets and the Suns in the past two games...

Has descended on this legendary arena of infinite glory.

"Teacher..." On the Celtics' bench, Karl panicked.

Because if Auerbach was unfortunately proven right, wouldn't that mean that as the Celtics' head coach, he could only watch the Celtics be killed by Su Feng?

After patting Miller Karl on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm, the "Red Bishop" also taught him the last trick in his knowledge base.

"Don't panic...

They have Su...

Don't we also have Tim?"

In the league of stars, the players ultimately decide the outcome of the game.

Therefore...

In this kind of strong dialogue, in addition to some specific tactics, most of the games are played openly by everyone.

Soldiers against soldiers.

Generals against generals.

And the king...

Of course, it must be handed over to the king.

On the court, with 6 minutes and 53 seconds left in the second quarter, the Celtics' number 21, Tim Duncan, returned to the court.

And on the Raptors' side, as the king's deputy...

Carter also returned to the court with Barkley.

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth is determined by heaven."

At this time, after looking up at the scoreboard, Su Feng also clenched his fists.
