Chapter 180 The Devil's Second Gate

Just like last night's game against the Nets, the Raptors used the "Jordan Rules" on the Suns tonight.

However, before the game, there were different voices within the Raptors regarding whether to use the "Jordan Rules" on Hill or McGrady.

And the result was that Davis once again successfully persuaded D'Antoni and Rivers.

Because to quote someone, it was...

If McGrady went crazy, with his unsolvable fadeaway that he personally taught him, Su Feng wouldn't dare say McGrady wouldn't kill the Raptors in one go.

As for Hill?

In fact, judging from the current personal strength of McGrady and Hill, Hill is definitely stronger than McGrady.

But using the "Jordan Rules" on Hill didn't matter much to Su Feng.

Because for his idol...

Su Feng knew him too well.

With Hill's humble and gentle personality, "40+" was his limit.

Of course, also because of Hill's personality, tonight's Raptors' "Jordan Rules" were also different from the previous game against the Nets.

Simply put, apart from Su Feng, who was using his death grip on McGrady, tonight's Raptors were actually playing a 4v4 game with the Suns.

On the wing, there was no suspense.

In the past, Jordan and Pippen couldn't stop Hill, and today, Carter couldn't stop Hill either.

On the court, after McGrady fully grasped the situation and passed the ball to Hill, with just one crossover, Hill disappeared in front of Carter.

In Su Feng's previous life, when he first started watching the NBA, two players left the deepest impression on him.

One was Iverson, who seemed to be dunking with movie special effects.

And the other was Grant Hill, the "frame-skipping" breakthrough player.

Because no matter how many times you watch Hill's peak breakthrough, you will feel that this video and GIF image must be fake.

If it wasn't for frame-skipping, how could a human have such speed from dribbling to the basket?

Bang!

2-0.

On the court, Hill scored the first point for the Suns with a one-handed dunk.

Kenny Smith of TNT commented, "The Suns and Raptors should be the two most aesthetically pleasing teams in the league this season, and Grant didn't disappoint us right from the start."

The game continued. Back on the other end, under Hill's defense, Su Feng's opening shot hit the backboard successfully.

The Suns countered, and McGrady, receiving a pass from Tsakalidis, thought he would finally have a chance to show off.

However...

Before McGrady could accelerate, Su Feng had already unleashed his invisible foot and rushed in front of McGrady, cutting off McGrady's path to the basket!

McGrady: "..."

Well, there was no way to counterattack now.

Under Su Feng's close marking, McGrady spent a lot of effort just to dribble past the half-court line.

Logically speaking, this kind of close marking is very afraid of offensive players accelerating directly.

But Su Feng was different.

First of all, he possessed top-notch lateral speed that most wing players in this league didn't have. Secondly, regarding McGrady's playing habits...

No exaggeration, Su Feng could guess what McGrady wanted to do next just by observing McGrady's expression.

On the court, McGrady didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his childhood idol Hardaway.

So, he passed the ball to Hill again.

In McGrady's opinion, with a personality like Su Feng's, once Hill scored a lot of points in the game, his attention would definitely return to Hill.

After all, he had no personal grudges with Su Feng, and McGrady had even joked with Su Feng at the beginning of the game.

McGrady knew that even if Su Feng was provoked by a small blacksmith from Los Angeles, he should still love him.

So...

A moment of patience brings calm and peace.

A step back leads to a broader horizon!

Swish!

This time, Hill attracted Barkley's double-team after breaking through, and Lewis hit a mid-range shot in the corner.

4-0.

Raptors' offense.

Su Feng and Jaric ran a pick-and-roll.

And this time...

Fisher wanted to call the police!

Because in last season's Finals, he was most afraid of McGrady and Su Feng's pick-and-roll.

In Fisher's eyes, the Raptors were poisonous!

Because how could a point guard be the tallest of all the starters on the court?

Bang!

How solid was the pick-and-roll Jaric set for Su Feng with his strong body?

After being blocked while trying to go around the screen, Hill had no choice but to switch defense with Fisher.

And looking at this scheming fish in front of him...

Without thinking, Su Feng started backing him down from the three-point line.

Although last season, the NBA introduced the five-second back-to-the-basket rule because Mark Jackson and Barkley's butts were too big, which easily affected the viewing experience of the game...

But how could it take Su Feng five seconds to beat Fisher?

One, two.

Three, four.

With Su Feng's powerful impact, in almost an instant, Fisher, who claimed to be a "power" player among guards, was pushed aside by Su Feng.

Turnaround, hang time, fadeaway.

All in one go.

Swish!

4-2.

Immediately afterward, before the Suns could quickly inbound the ball, Su Feng stuck to McGrady again.

McGrady: "..."

Was he even allowed to play?

Clang!

Suns' offense, Hill still passed to Lewis.

But this time, Lewis's shot was off.

In the paint, Barkley used his butt to secure the rebound.

The Raptors launched a fast break. The Suns quickly retreated. Su Feng, dribbling the ball, used Jaric's screen to switch Fisher onto himself again.

And at this moment, Fisher was still rubbing his chest.

But...

Bang, bang, bang!

Fisher wasn't Britney Spears, so why would Su Feng show any mercy?

Boom!

On the court, under Su Feng's hard pounding, Fisher chose to use his acting skills to gain sympathy.

It was a pity that tonight's referee, George Coromandel, had no intention of paying attention to him at all.

Here's a fun fact.

That is, in the 9 games of Su Feng's career that Coromandel officiated, Su Feng has never lost a single game.

In addition, in these 9 games, Su Feng's average number of free throws was 14.9, far exceeding his career average.

So, if Crawford is the number one Lakers fan in the league.

Then Coromandel...

Is the number one honey! (Su Feng fan)

Therefore, how could Fisher's clumsy acting skills deceive Coromandel, whose heart was as clear as a mirror?

Swish!

Because Fisher failed to trick Su Feng into an offensive foul, Su Feng's jump shot near the free-throw line was almost undisturbed.

4-4.

CCTV, after Su Feng scored four points at the start of the game, Zhang指导 laughed and said, "Wow, this guy, it looks like Su Feng is going to explode again today."

Suns' offense, the young Tsakalidis made a mistake of experience after receiving the ball from Hill.

Thinking that Ben's height couldn't pose any threat to him...

He was knocked to the ground along with the ball by Ben.

Heh...

Maybe it was because Ben had been beaten to tears by O'Neal, Duncan, and Yao Ming recently, so now the big centers were starting to think Ben was a scrub.

What a joke. Apart from not being able to beat those monsters, who had Ben ever feared in this league?

According to this year's NBA officiating standards, Ben's play was not a foul.

Carter rushed down the court and slammed it in after receiving a pass from Su Feng!

At this time, looking at his cousin chasing after him, Carter couldn't help but complain, "Tracy, how have you become so slow now?"

McGrady: "..."

McGrady was suffering, but McGrady didn't want to say it.

If he hadn't been drawn away by Su Feng just now, how could he not have been able to catch up with Carter with his speed?

But...

When did Su Feng's passing start to become so inspired?

On the sidelines, Nash, who was wearing a suit and explaining to James how to organize the team's offense, suddenly shivered.

He didn't know why...

At this moment, Nash always felt like someone was scolding him behind his back.

On the court, with McGrady being contained by Su Feng, Hill didn't hesitate this time and decisively chose to go it alone.

As a result, Carter felt like his ankles were about to be broken by Hill.

Large-amplitude crossover combined with agile small-range in front of the body changes, and sprinting without deceleration when changing lanes...

The perfect combination of skill and speed.

Aside, a guy who calls himself "Toronto Irving" was extremely envious at this moment.

Bang, swish!

Hill broke through and scored a layup.

6-6.

Kenny Smith of TNT laughed, "It seems like the Western Conference All-Star starters will be very competitive this year, because Grant and Tracy both deserve a starting position."

Derek on the side said, "Although Hill's performance in the playoffs has been consistently poor in the past few seasons, according to ESPN's data, among active players, he is the most outstanding small forward in history against Su Feng."

"Oh, what about Scottie (Pippen)?" Smith asked curiously.

"Let's talk about Kobe instead," Derek retorted.

There was no way, because Jordan had been beaten by Su Feng early on...

So naturally, Pippen became the trash in people's minds that caused Jordan to fail to beat Su Feng.

However, in fact...

In this ESPN trivia, Pippen was the small forward ranked second only to Hill in terms of outstanding performance against Su Feng.

Back to the court.

In the first quarter, the two teams fought until the official timeout before stopping this breathless offensive battle.

On the Raptors' bench, when he heard Su Feng wanting him to be the main scorer for the rest of the first quarter, Carter thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"Vince, just play freely in the next game," Su Feng said, patting Carter's shoulder before the timeout ended.

"Okay..." After swallowing a mouthful of phlegm, Carter noticed that Su Feng seemed a little tired tonight?

Of course he was tired.

Because in order to prevent players of McGrady's level from scoring, in addition to reasonable tactics, Su Feng had to maintain his focus at all times.

Moreover, compared to the game against the Nets, no matter how fast he recovered, it was impossible for Su Feng to start this game with full stamina.

Therefore, reasonably allocating his stamina was the key to whether Su Feng could pass this "Devil's Second Gate."

After watching all of the Suns' game footage this year, Su Feng knew very well that Skiles' average playing time for McGrady and Hill this season was about 34 minutes.

Therefore, the time when these two went off to rest was the time when Su Feng could really shine.

Before that...

Unconditional trust in Carter was Su Feng's only option.

Because in order to complete the task while winning the game on back-to-back nights...

Su Feng had to trust his teammates.

As a result, in the rest of the first quarter, Carter also repaid Su Feng's trust in his own way.

Under McGrady's high-intensity defense, this UFO scored 10 points in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, Su Feng was amused by McGrady's aggrieved expression.

Because another reason why Su Feng unconditionally trusted Carter was...

Once McGrady invested too much energy on the defensive end, his touch on offense would be greatly affected.

No one knew this better than Su Feng, whose shooting percentage was often unstable.

It was precisely because he often had to defend the opponent's core perimeter players in the game that Su Feng was ridiculed by fans as "Schrödinger's Su Feng."

In the first quarter, the Suns and Raptors tied at 33-34.

Su Feng scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in the first quarter.

Because both the Raptors and the Suns were offensive teams, in the back-and-forth exchanges, all of the starters on both teams scored points except for McGrady.

In the second quarter, McGrady, who looked aggrieved, was temporarily benched by Skiles.

Marion and veteran Denert were responsible for leading the Suns' bench.

On the Raptors' side, Su Feng still didn't rest.

However, no matter how well Su Feng calculated, the actual difficulty of this game had exceeded his imagination.

Because in the second quarter...

The Suns were responsible for guarding him...

It was "The Matrix" Marion.

Unlike Artest, who proclaimed himself as "Su Feng's Terminator", in fact, players of Marion's type were the wildcards who could single-handedly defend Su Feng.

Because Marion not only had speed, but also strength.

In addition, most importantly...

His looks also easily distracted Su Feng on the court.

Fortunately, Marion was still lacking in experience at this time, otherwise, Su Feng would really have to sound the alarm and denounce this outrageous era.

On the wing, after faking out Marion by holding the ball with one hand like teasing a cat, Su Feng dribbled to the right and took a light step, followed by a three-point cannon shot.

On the basketball court, three-pointers were the most efficient way to score.

So if Su Feng wanted to succeed tonight, he had to shoot even more accurately than in the last game.

Swish!

33-37.

Su Feng's 11th point of the night.

While retreating, looking down at his right hand...

He didn't know why, but Su Feng just felt that no matter how many more three-pointers he shot next, he wouldn't miss.

Was it the influence of the "Godly Buff"?

No...

If the "Godly Buff" was really that amazing, then Su Feng's three-pointers in the last game would have been flawless.

In a reasonable system of missed shots, apart from the [Nirvana] badge hinting that it would improve Su Feng's hit rate...

This fragile system, gave all of Su Feng's buffs, which in the end, still depended on whether Su Feng could make the shot.

So, at this moment, Su Feng's elusive and mysterious touch... was erupting like molten lava.

Just then, Kobe had just finished his rant about Su Feng on television.

When Vanessa asked him if Su Feng would have another big explosion tonight like he did in the last game...

Kobe confidently patted his chest and said to Vanessa, "Absolutely impossible."

Alas, what did Vanessa know about basketball?

In Kobe's opinion, back-to-back explosions like this, especially when facing strong opponents in a row, were impossible for anyone to do in the NBA.

Swish!

At the Air Canada Centre, after the Suns scored two points through passing and cutting, Marion felt like he was blind as soon as he turned around.

Because dude...

Are you sure you weren't kidding me with that shooting position just now?

On the court, Su Feng, who was still in his shooting motion, had his back heel...

Stepping on, right on the edge of the Raptors' center court logo.

Without any preparation.

It came so suddenly.

Along with the sound of cracking knees from the audience and in front of the television, do you know how much shock Su Feng brought to the people of this era?

Kenny Smith, TNT's number one honey, said in disbelief, "He's showing off!"

Derek, on the side, hugged his head, "Is this also one of the Raptors' tactics?"

On CCTV, Zhang Weiping took a deep breath and said, "Years ago, when I was still playing basketball, we often joked about players who liked to shoot from half-court.

But I never thought... that on the NBA stage, twenty years later, this scene would really happen!"

It wasn't a clutch moment.

The Raptors still had plenty of time to organize this possession.

But...

Su Feng was just that daring to shoot!

"Whew, this touch is amazing." Looking at his right hand, Su Feng felt that this system of missed shots was a waste of talent to be with him.

Because for someone like him...

Shouldn't the system that finds him be the "My Shooting is Too Accurate" system?

On the sidelines, Old Curry, who was shocked beyond words, had already joined the crowd of people kneeling down to Su Feng.

But...

In the eyes of young Stephen Curry, his dad was too ignorant.

Because how could this kind of Logo three-pointer be as cool as Uncle Carter's dunks?

Logo three-pointer?

Heh...

On the court, after Su Feng's unreasonable three-pointer, Marion decisively doubled his defensive coverage when defending Su Feng next.

After all, in Marion's opinion, Su Feng was a lunatic who wouldn't reason with you.

Suns' offense, veteran Denert scored a layup, 37-40.

On the sidelines, seeing that the team had gradually stabilized the situation, Skiles temporarily stopped his intention to call a timeout.

But then...

A scene that made the honeys in front of the television nostalgic appeared.

On the court, Su Feng took Marion and "ran around" like he used to do with Jordan.

As a result, under the back-and-forth screens of four tool teammates...

Su Feng managed to run out of an open spot at the right 45-degree angle!

In recent years, as Su Feng has evolved, people seemed to have forgotten his solid off-ball foundation.

Swish!

On the court, as the cannon rang in Toronto, and as Su Feng's third three-pointer in the second quarter went through the net, Skiles, who had just sat down, almost performed a "dog eats shit" live.

And if you had to use one sentence to describe Skiles' mood at this moment...

Then it would probably be:

"Quick... quick! Go... go to the Western Paradise, and invite... invite the Buddha!"

…

ps: Whew, Su Feng has finally reached Nantianmen! The second update is here! Thank you for the monthly tickets and recommendations for three consecutive days of ten thousand word updates!
