Chapter 276 A Mid-Range Game Will Never Be a Slave!

On the court, after the two teams switched back to their main players, the Celtics attacked first.

In the Raptors' restricted area, to prevent Duncan from sneaking in again, the aging Barkley also used his signature move in this defense.

That is:

—Miracles happen with brute force!

Hey, you know what, Barkley really used his innate divine power to force Duncan to the high post with this ball.

However...

Just when Barkley was complacent that he had driven Duncan out of the low post...

The next second, this "flying pig" was thrown behind him by Duncan like a wooden stake.

Bang, swish.

On the court, Duncan broke into the inside and hit a layup off the backboard.

39 to 42.

In Su Feng's previous life, before Duncan experienced major injuries, compared to his incredible backboard skills, in fact, his agile small forward-style of play was the most headache-inducing for the inside players of the same era.

Of course, the "Ha King" Garnett was not included among those who had a painful expression because of Duncan.

After all, as the head of the "retreat while fighting sect"...

In the current league, who knows the essence of "avoiding confrontation" better than Garnett?

It's a pity...

Judging from the pattern of the East and West in this life...

Unless Garnett can figure it out in the future and voluntarily become Su Feng's Pippen...

Otherwise, Su Feng is afraid that he may not encounter Garnett once in the playoffs until he retires.

The game continued, and it was the Raptors' turn to attack.

As everyone knows, the NBA is a large turn-based game.

On the court, after Barkley handed his painful expression to Artest, Artest was almost driven crazy by Su Feng with this ball.

No...

Big brother!

My dear brother!

Can you really kill me with a sudden stop jump shot?

How good must your knees be to withstand such torment?

Helpless...

Because Su Feng cut in very quickly, so after Artest let Su Feng in, he inevitably had to choose to retreat back to the basket at full speed.

But...

Sudden stop, hang time, wrist flick...

Swish!

41 to 42, Su Feng successfully scored his 25th point of the game.

"Su... won't score '60+' in three consecutive games, will he?"

Gulp... Gulp, on TNT, after swallowing, Smith boldly imagined.

On the court, it was the Celtics' turn to attack.

This time, the Celtics executed a wonderful shooter tactic.

While fighting for the low post with Barkley, Duncan, noticing Ray Allen's run, first screened for Ray Allen near the baseline.

Immediately afterward, Ray Allen, who had successfully slipped to the left wing, feinted a shot and then wandered near the top of the arc with the help of teammate Petta Panico's screen.

And after attracting Su Feng's help defense, Ray Allen showed his killer nature when shooting.

He calmly tricked Su Feng, and then, like McCree in Overwatch, he gracefully threw the "palm thunder" in his hand.

Boom!

41 to 45.

Compared to the previous seasons, when Su Feng often messed up his mentality in games...

This season, especially after Karl stole Davis' elevator screen tactic, the current Ray Allen is no longer the young man who would have his sword stuck in its sheath by Su Feng.

In Ray Allen's own words...

Today, he has never been so eager for a worthy opponent as he is tonight.

It was the Raptors' turn to attack.

When Jaric dribbled the ball across the half-court line, Carter, who had just failed to guard Ray Allen, hinted to Su Feng with his eyes.

After understanding what Carter wanted to express, Su Feng immediately agreed to Carter's request to play.

Although in Su Feng's eyes, Carter's one-on-one ability was not as invincible as his second brother, Kobe...

But as the General of North Carolina, in Su Feng's view, it was not a problem for Carter to chop down Ray Allen.

On the court, Jaric did not dare to disobey Su Feng's orders, and after dribbling the ball across the half-court line, he handed the ball to Carter.

And originally...

Su Feng was quite looking forward to Carter raising his mountain-splitting axe and chopping Ray Allen down from his horse with one blow...

But who would have thought...

After receiving the pass from Jaric, this UFO actually...

In front of Ray Allen, a little more than half a meter away from the three-point line...

He just threw it!

Damn it!

Vince, even if you get a chance, you can't play so randomly!

Tell me, on the basketball court, how many retards would do such a thing that clearly gives the opponent a rebound?

Su Feng was speechless.

Completely speechless.

At this moment, Su Feng swore to the sky that if he ever unconditionally trusted Carter like this again, then he would...

Swish!

"Good shot, Vince!"

On the court, after seeing Carter's ultra-long three-pointer go through the heart of the net, Su Feng excitedly gave Carter a thumbs up.

Look...

What is the strongest second-in-command in NBA history?

Su Feng had said to others in his previous life when confronting them, for basketball, you just have to play randomly!

"Why bother to run around to shoot a three-pointer?"

At this time, looking at Ray Allen, who was a little cocky just now, Carter did not forget to roll his eyes at him after scoring.

Ray Allen: "..."

Not to praise or criticize, Ray Allen has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to sarcasm.

But...

Carter's way of taunting people, you know, it's the kind of sarcasm that carries a bit of naivety.

So, for a while, even if he was unhappy, Ray Allen was still suppressed by Carter.

The game continued, and the Celtics attacked.

Ray Allen, eager to slap Carter in the face with his performance, quickly drew his gun after receiving the ball on the outside.

Unfortunately, under Carter's interference, the basketball eventually deviated from the basket.

Fortunately, Duncan, under the basket, put the ball in while holding two younger brothers who were less than two meters tall, 44 to 47.

In the Raptors' restricted area, Da Ben looked at Barkley with a look of indignation and said, "Charles, how did you box out on this ball?"

Hearing this, Barkley, who was a little exasperated, said, "I clearly boxed him out, it's just that you didn't jump!"

Tsk tsk...

Look, what is it called being bad at external battles and being number one in "internal strife"?

On the court, after stepping forward and patting the heads of the two of them, Su Feng smiled at them and said, "Alright, stop blaming each other.

If you have to blame someone for this ball, you have to blame Marko!

Because as the tallest player on our court, he was actually watching the show just now!"

Aside, Jaric, who was about to return to the baseline to receive the ball, was immediately embarrassed after hearing Su Feng's complaints.

Because...

Although he is the tallest on the court...

But he...

Is a point guard!

Fortunately, Jaric also knew that Su Feng was joking, and was using the joke to tell Da Ben and Barkley how ridiculous their argument was just now, so after receiving the ball from Da Ben, Jaric didn't take it to heart.

It was the Raptors' turn to attack.

On the court, seeing Carter wanting to shoot after receiving the ball, Su Feng's heart almost stopped in fright.

To be honest...

This kind of reckless shooting, while scaring opponents, also scares his own people.

However, since even Su Feng was frightened into a cold sweat, what about Ray Allen, who was guarding Carter head-on at this time?

Carter successfully tricked Ray Allen with this ball.

Then, he broke into the inside and completed the finish with an elegant pull-up.

46 to 47!

"You wouldn't think that I would sulk with you like an elementary school student, would you?

A three-pointer? That's just one way to score points.

I wouldn't be as reckless as some people." When retreating, looking at Ray Allen, Carter couldn't help but complain.

And this time...

Not only was Ray Allen uncomfortable...

On the other side, Su Feng was also made uncomfortable by Carter.

On the court, the Celtics attacked.

Ray Allen was still running the three-point tactic.

Duncan first slowed down Carter for Ray Allen at the high post, and then on the wing, Artest and Petta Panico successively blocked the Raptors' help defense players for Ray Allen.

And at the high post, noticing that Ray Allen was about to run to the baseline, Marbury also fed the ball to Ray Allen's hand in time.

The lead on this pass was just right, and after receiving the ball, Ray Allen completed the shot very smoothly.

Swish!

46 to 50.

I have to say, this era has really changed.

Because can you imagine, at the beginning of the 21st century, the Celtics continuously used three different three-point tactics in three consecutive offensive rounds?

On the court, Su Feng was a little depressed.

Because now, it's simply that everyone is feeling the Raptors' heads while crossing the river...

If the beautiful country at this time is the lighthouse country on Earth, then the Raptors and Su Feng are simply the guiding lights in the basketball world.

On the sidelines, on the Celtics' bench, due to his age, Auerbach had already sat back on the chair that Duncan had previously moved for him.

And at this moment, for this old man, what he was most gratified about was that in the last journey of his life, he had successfully brought out two disciples who, in his opinion, could support the Green Army for the next twenty years.

Tim Duncan, a cornerstone of the team who debuted at his peak and far exceeded his peers in terms of mental maturity.

Miller Karl, a tactical genius who is stupid but willing to keep learning and improving.

Look...

What if I don't get on the ship of the new era?

As long as I can send them both to this ship leading to the new era, then the glory of the Celtics will surely shine again in the future.

On the court, it was the Raptors' turn to attack.

And this time, under Su Feng's eye command, the Raptors also ran a three-point tactic.

Compared with crude and direct individual one-on-one, on the basketball court, tactics test not only the players' execution ability.

More importantly, there is also the control of the game situation by the players responsible for running the plays, as well as the on-the-spot response when the tactics fail.

After all, no matter how good a tactic is, you can't execute it every time.

And as a moving tactical board on the court, in the instant when Su Feng was about to reach the high post through the elevator screen of his teammates...

Suddenly, he slid... Ah no, a turn, not only successfully cut into the inside, but also transferred Duncan, who was expanding out to prepare to help defend his teammates, away from the inside.

And now, in Nash's words...

At this time, you only need to swing the ball to the dome.

Because in that distant sky, there will definitely be a UFO waiting for you.

Take off, take off, grab the ball with one hand.

Bang!

In an instant, the North Shore Garden Arena was split in half by Su Feng!

48 to 50!

On TNT, Smith, who saw this scene, excitedly said: "It's so happy to be partnered with Su and Vince, because as a point guard, you never have to worry about your assist numbers not going up."

The game continued.

Compared with the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, in the second half of the second quarter, both the Raptors and the Celtics played high-quality passing and cutting pick-and-roll coordination.

On television, God knows how many head coaches had to tear out their hair because they watched this game tonight?

This is not only a competition of players' personal abilities, but also a test of the brain capacity of the two head coaches.

It's like two top chess players are playing chess, as long as they make a mistake, they will be doomed.

North Shore Garden Arena, after half a game, the Raptors trailed the Celtics by 4 points, 56 to 60.

In the first half of the game, the impact of Nash and O'Neal's absence from the Raptors due to injuries was offset to a certain extent by the jointly powerful performance of Su Feng and Carter.

In the first half of the game, Su Feng, who made 11 of 23 shots, plus free throws, scored a total of 31 points.

And Carter contributed 15 points.

That is to say, in the first half of the game, Carter and Su Feng scored a total of 46 points...

During the intermission, looking at the Raptors' extremely strange technical statistics, Smith couldn't help but complain: "Seriously, Charles should retire quickly.

Because if I remember correctly...

If you add up Charles' scores in the past two games, it's still not as much as Su's single-quarter score tonight."

And on the side, Derek joked about Su Feng, who was 0 for 3 from beyond the three-point line tonight.

"Can you imagine that Su still scored 31 points in the first half of the game without hitting a single three-pointer tonight?"

After the halftime break, in the third quarter, the Raptors attacked first.

And originally...

During the halftime break, Su Feng was still quite nostalgic for the joy of shooting randomly like the last game against the Suns...

But with the Celtics' defense tonight...

It's clear that they would rather be killed by Su Feng's mid-range shots than easily let him shoot three-pointers in any area.

To be honest, this is really not because Su Feng is disliking Stephen Curry's son to criticize him.

But, with the scene tonight, if Su Feng recklessly only seeks momentary pleasure, then at this moment, it is likely that Su Feng is already thinking about the next game, what kind of expression should he use to deal with the photographers when he returns to the bench.

In the NBA, there is a very famous point of view in the future:

Mid-range shots can't kill people.

However...

This point of view is no different from the point of view that three-pointers in the 90s can't kill people in Su Feng's view.

Because...

If your mid-range shot or three-pointer can't kill people, then it's definitely not the fault of the three-pointer and the mid-range shot.

But because...

You are not accurate enough.

On the court, looking at the trap that Auerbach had set for him, Su Feng jumped into it without thinking.

On the wing, after holding Artest for a while, Su Feng directly leaned back from a step inside the three-point line.

Artest did not expect that Su Feng would dare to lean back in this position, so he was obviously a step slower when he went to interfere.

As a result, the basketball slipped smoothly in the net.

58 to 60.

In Su Feng's previous life, because he loved this extremely inefficient style of play, Kobe was often criticized by Su Feng, a Kobe hater, as brainless.

But in fact, the founder of this "extremely inefficient" style of play is not Kobe.

Because as early as the 90s, Jordan had repeatedly proved how difficult mid-range shots are to defend in actual games.

Therefore, since Auerbach wanted to bet that his mid-range shots couldn't kill the Celtics, then Su Feng naturally had to respond to the "Red Bishop" with practical actions.

Whether it was the unreasonable sudden stop mid-range shots in the first half of the game, or the beautiful high-position turn-around just now...

Tonight, he, Su Feng, is going to be a mid-range shot machine with no emotions!

30 shots are not enough, then 40 shots.

40 shots are not enough, then 50 shots!

If that's still not enough, then it's the fault of the basket!

In short...

Mid-range shots will never be slaves!

On the court, the game continued.

The Celtics attacked.

Marbury used a crossover to shake Jaric on the outside, and then, he broke into the inside and bullied Barkley.

Old.

Really old.

If Barkley was 3 years younger.

How could he be ridden by Marbury at this moment?

58 to 62.

It was the Raptors' turn.

Barkley, who felt that he had lost face after being hammered by the young man, had already wanted a good position in the low post.

But Jaric, noticing Duncan behind Barkley, passed the ball to Su Feng without thinking.

And at that moment...

The aged "Flying Pig"'s weathered eyes suddenly lost their highlights.

Yes...

No matter how strong a human being is, it is impossible to defeat the enemy of time.

So accept the reality, Charles Barkley.

You are no longer the "Flying Pig" that could fly with Jordan back then.

An old horse in the stable still aspires to gallop?

That's just a story in fairy tales.

The reality is...

No matter how strong a veteran is, he can only greet his twilight destiny in withering.

Only...

On the court, in the instant when Barkley was distracted, Su Feng, who had already cut into the Celtics' restricted area, suddenly shouted at him loudly: "What the hell are you looking at!"

Hearing this, Barkley immediately came back to his senses.

And immediately afterward, Su Feng's pass happened to hit his chest right in front of him.

Hesitation, confusion?

No...

For a veteran who has been in battle for a long time, Barkley made his decision almost instantly.

Bang, swish.

What if he can't jump?

Isn't it good to hit a layup off the backboard?

60 to 62.

After scoring, Barkley turned around and gave Su Feng a thumbs up.

And after Su Feng patted him on the shoulder, he said to him: "Charles, as a veteran who is about to turn 38, it's nothing shameful if you can't run or jump.

Besides, don't you still have me as your thigh?"

On the court, when retreating, Barkley laughed when he looked at Su Feng's back.

Okay...

My wings were indeed taken back by God.

But...

Having already boarded the interstellar battleship, why should I be reluctant to part with those wings?

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

And this time, Duncan encountered Barkley's tenacious resistance in the low post.

Perhaps, veterans can't perform those incredible performances like young people.

However...

Before the curtain falls, don't underestimate these old guys who still have the last bit of oil left in their tanks.

Bang, bang!

On the court, after forcing Duncan to turn only to the left side, Barkley knew that it was time to leave the stage to those young people.

Because, after burning all the fuel in his tank, he had already snatched a glimmer of hope for the Raptors' help defense players in this defense!

Look...

What is an old horse in the stable still aspiring to gallop?

What the veterans should do on the court is to do their best and then patiently wait...

For the coming of reinforcements from the heavens?

Pa————!

Unfortunately.

Duncan's crooked layup was not sucked away by the backboard.

Because...

Above the rolling clouds, Su Feng arrived on horseback!

…
