Silently Writing
Chapter 426 Two Records, Legendary Moment
Su Feng, who made 8 of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, once again redefined people's understanding of basketball on this night.
At halftime, the score between the Suns and the Raptors was 62 to 70.
During the intermission, Smith, always rigorous, after repeated verification, finally informed American fans in front of the TV:
"Since the NBA introduced the three-point shot, no one in NBA history has ever made so many three-pointers in a single quarter."
Eight three-pointers in a single quarter.
At the Air Canada Centre, looking at the "new historical record" displayed on the big screen, and reliving Su Feng's incredible performance in the first half...
At this moment, for the Raptors fans in attendance tonight, they no longer knew how to praise Su Feng.
And at this moment, looking at Su Feng's stats from the first half...
Derrick also asked Smith, "Hey, Kenny, if I remember correctly, no one in NBA history has ever had back-to-back '60+' games, right?"
Back-to-back "60+"?
After swallowing his saliva, Smith nodded and said, "In NBA history, Bernard King and Michael Jordan both had consecutive games with '50+'.
Before that, Wilt Chamberlain even had seven consecutive games with '50+'.
But back-to-back '60+'...
It has indeed never happened in an NBA game."
"Then... ladies and gentlemen, here, I think I must remind you.
Because tonight, in addition to the new NBA single-quarter three-point record...
I think... we may still have the opportunity to witness two more incredible records in the second half," Derrick said after receiving a definite answer from Smith.
Hearing this, Smith, who couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, exclaimed, "This is too crazy!"
"Kenny, in your opinion, has Su given us too little madness?" Derrick laughed.
After a pause, Derrick added, "Also, Kenny, I think, given Su's great form this season...
You can start thinking about when you should fulfill your promise after losing your bet with John (Calipari)."
Smith: "..."
Damn it!
Reminded by Derrick, Smith, who was originally immersed in the joy Su Feng brought him, immediately reacted.
Because at the beginning of this season, Smith did have a bet with Calipari about Su Feng.
Careless!
Smith felt that he was too careless at the time.
Because according to the current situation...
After the regular season is over, he will have to streak in Washington...
However, after thinking for a while, Smith quickly calmed down.
After all...
Isn't it just streaking?
In the "free, open, and democratic" beautiful country...
What's so great about streaking?
And as long as it's not "much ado about nothing," how can a real man be afraid of streaking?
Therefore, after comforting himself with the fact that Calipari would also be streaking...
Smith instead said to Derrick with a calm face, "As long as Su can create two more records tonight, then I will fulfill my bet with John early next week."
Good heavens!
Derrick immediately typed "good heavens" on the public screen.
Because he originally wanted to poke at Smith's heart, but how could he have imagined that this person would be so "shameless"?
…
After the halftime break, in the second half, Su Feng had become the focus of the audience.
Having scored 34 points in the first half, as long as he could score another 26 points in the second half, he would successfully create a new NBA historical record on this night.
In addition, having made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter in the second quarter, as long as he could make another 4 three-pointers in the following games, the NBA's single-game three-point record would also be in his pocket on this night.
During the intermission, in order not to miss Su Feng's performance at the beginning of the second half, many fans who wanted to refill their cokes didn't even dare to leave their seats.
Except for some fans who wanted to pee, who took advantage of the situation and peed happily, in the words of the staff at the Air Canada Centre...
Tonight, Su Feng caused the arena to sell at least 10,000 fewer cups of coke and 5,000 fewer hot dogs.
In a game that took place earlier...
Because the game between the Celtics and the Nets happened to end before the start of the second half of the Raptors and Suns game, Duncan, Marbury, Ray Allen, and other Celtics generals squeezed together in the narrow visiting team's locker room, wanting to wait to watch the second half before leaving.
In New York, looking at the latest ratings situation reported to him by his assistant Mark, Stern hated that there was no Doraemon's Anywhere Door in the real world...
Otherwise...
How could he, the dignified NBA president, not go to the scene to show his face?
Before the start of the third quarter, the major North American commentators almost unanimously said, "If a legend is destined to be born tonight, then let us look forward to it together!"
Will Su Feng personally engrave his name on the NBA's honor monument on this night...
Or will it be a false alarm?
In the third quarter, the Raptors attacked first.
The Raptors players, who had been given the death order by Davis during the intermission to help Su Feng achieve his historical achievement on this night...
Showed their determination from the start.
Charles Barkley.
Vince Carter...
Those stars you will be familiar with in the next few decades have no other thoughts at this moment.
And when the stage is set...
The man who radiated dazzling starlight on this night, just like that...
Amidst the screams of the fans in front of the TV and on the scene, under Carter's desperate cover, with the help of Barkley's peerless butt, after receiving Jaric's key pass, he successfully broke into the penalty area, and with a slam dunk, he sounded the nuclear bomb that detonated the audience!
Records exist.
Because it has been waiting for the man who can rewrite it.
"
Hill and Lewis's double-team was still a step too slow.
Because by the time they got close to Su Feng, the basketball had already left Su Feng's shooting hand.
And McGrady?
At this moment, for some reason, watching the confident Su Feng, McGrady's legs seemed to be tied by something.
Swish————!
On the court, spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, Su Feng walked to the Suns' bench with a speechless expression.
"Scott, why am I so accurate?" Looking at the Suns' coach standing on the sidelines, Su Feng asked with a puzzled expression.
Hearing this...
Skiles felt like he needed a ventilator.
"This is definitely the most, most, most, most greatest shooting performance I have ever seen in my life!" Smith said excitedly on TNT.
On the side, Derrick sighed, "If Su could have this kind of touch every night... then is there really any team that can beat the Raptors?"
On the court, unfortunately, Su Feng, who had just finished bragging, couldn't hear Derrick's complaints.
Otherwise...
He would definitely point to Stephen Curry, who was sitting on the sidelines at this time, and tell Derrick...
You probably don't know how capable this kid will be in the future.
The game continued, and McGrady, who had already entered self-isolation mode, passed the ball to Hill as soon as he crossed half-court.
Swish—!
Hill hit a mid-range shot, 69 to 79.
It is worth mentioning that after scoring this goal for the Suns, Hill did not forget to encourage McGrady when retreating, "Tracy, cheer up, you are the soul of this team!"
Unfortunately...
McGrady, who had already turned off his microphone, nodded, but his expression became even more depressed.
As a result, as soon as he came back, Su Feng seized the opportunity of McGrady's decreased defensive focus and broke into the Suns' interior again.
Tsakalidis had no choice but to hug Su Feng down from the air.
Swish, swish.
Su Feng, who stepped onto the free throw line, made both free throws, successfully changing his personal score in this game to 45 points.
At this time, looking at McGrady with his dead eyes (Note 1), Su Feng couldn't help but roar at him, "Is this Tracy McGrady who fought side by side with me in the past two years?"
"If this is all your strength, then I think you should find a rotten team to retire in after this contract expires!"
As an opponent, logically speaking, Su Feng could have taken advantage of McGrady's current decadence to complete his quest in one go.
However...
Because in the past few years, Su Feng had already regarded McGrady as his younger brother.
Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, he couldn't just sit idly by and ignore this kind of McGrady.
As for the quest?
Heh...
Even the unkillable Pierce couldn't stop him...
So how could McGrady stop him?
In front of the TV, watching this fleeting scene...
Although Kobe didn't know what Su Feng said to McGrady, based on his understanding of Su Feng, he guessed the general content almost in the blink of an eye.
"This is Su."
Holding the sweaty Vanessa, Kobe, who was also a little depressed, sighed.
After a pause, Kobe added, "He is my best brother."
…
ps: I've been a little stuck these past two days... I'll just make a small 4000-word chapter to maintain the update. Also, I thought about this last paragraph for a long time, but I feel that based on Su Feng's personality, he would definitely say these words to McGrady. Moreover... someone as stubborn as Su Feng wouldn't back down because he was afraid of the difficulty, which wouldn't be the Su Feng I wrote before.
ps2: Note 1 Dead eyes, a local dialect, refers to a person being decadent and mentally depressed.
