Chapter 292 "You Shouldn't Be... Dead, Right?"

"You shouldn't be... dead, right?"

Shortly after that epic battle against the Celtics, Su Feng, still resting in the visiting team's locker room, received a call from Kobe.

And Kobe's opening line was a "we're-old-married-couple" kind of greeting...

Ugh!

It was the kind of banter that only the best of buddies share.

"Can't die.

And you might not believe it, but if you flew to Boston right now, I could even play a few rounds of one-on-one with you."

While having an assistant massage his aching back and inner thighs, Su Feng said through gritted teeth.

"Well, I'm relieved to see you're still so full of energy.

After all, if the opponent in this year's Finals isn't you, there's no pleasure in my revenge." Kobe told Su Feng at the end of the call.

And this time...

Su Feng felt that Kobe was getting confident after beating the Kings in the first round of the playoffs.

…

Normally, opponents won't just keep letting you shoot.

Unlike the regular season, at this stage of the playoffs, because Stern encouraged defense, you could understand that before Stern retired, the NBA playoffs were in a harsh environment where you could use both zone defense and the illegal defense rules.

And that's one of the main reasons why Su Feng remembered that Lakers-Celtics battle being so brutal.

On the court, the Celtics were on the attack.

Marbury's shot missed, and Haslem grabbed the rebound.

Su Feng personally dribbled the ball across the half-court line.

And as Su Feng expected, after Korver hit his first shot, Outlaw's defense against him intensified.

However, on the wing, when he saw that Korver had failed to use Mourning's screen and had to run further and further away from the three-point line...

To save energy for defending Su Feng next, Outlaw didn't follow.

But who would have thought...

It was at this position, where Outlaw thought Korver wouldn't fire...

After receiving Su Feng's pass, Korver actually pulled the trigger!

At that moment, the Celtics fans at the FleetCenter were completely shocked.

Because if it were Su Feng and Ginobili shooting that kind of shot in this kind of game, it would be understandable...

After all, one of them was a cheater, and the other was a madman...

But...

Kyle Korver.

What right does a mere role player like you have to shoot a three-pointer like that?

Pat Riley, aren't you going to manage your players?

Ahem...

The Celtics fans at the scene might not believe it.

At this moment, on the Heat's bench, Riley had raised his right hand high, even making a three-point gesture.

Three-pointers?

That's the greatest invention in the world.

And ultra-long three-pointers?

That's Riley's favorite thing lately!

Role players can't shoot that kind of shot?

Heh...

Then ask Hakeem Olajuwon, during those two Finals trips, in the critical moments, would he pass the ball to Drexler or Kenny Smith? (The Glide:?)

Swish—!

FleetCenter, Korver hits another three-pointer!

And in Miami, at the AmericanAirlines Arena.

The white tide was already starting to surge.

Clang!

On the court, as the Heat successfully filled the hole they had dug in the first half of the second quarter...

During this attack, Outlaw actually missed a layup that he should have made!

Mourning grabbed the rebound.

And noticing that Su Feng had already started at full speed, this tough guy immediately threw the ball forward!

Leg drive, jump, one-arm moon grab!

In the Celtics' half, Su Feng received Mourning's long pass!

And at this time, when Ray Allen, the fastest to retreat, noticed that Su Feng suddenly slowed down, that gentlemanly sword almost had a heart attack from Su Feng's move.

Fortunately, because Ray Allen was alert enough, he didn't give Su Feng a chance to quickly attack and launch an ultra-long three-pointer.

Only...

Su Feng didn't plan to shoot it himself in the first place.

In the past, when he was in good form, Su Feng would indeed be the type of person to take that kind of fast-break, ultra-long three-point opportunity.

But when he wasn't in good form, Su Feng wasn't interested in acting like a fool like Nick Young, treating himself like a treasure. (Nick Young:?)

About two steps away from the arc at the top of the key.

Su Feng stopped his forward momentum.

Then, after he turned around and handed the ball to his teammate behind him, providing him with a screen, Ray Allen noticed...

That was...

Kyle Korver!

On the court, the Celtics' defensive players no longer had time to close in on Korver.

And in Miami, as an intercontinental missile was launched from the AmericanAirlines Arena, a few seconds later, Boston detected an incoming "nuclear strike."

FleetCenter.

Korver hits another three-pointer!

In Florida, in an instant, the white tide engulfed everything!

The Miami Heat had narrowed the score to only one point behind!

"That's why I sent him on the court!"

And on the Heat's bench, Riley, with his arms crossed, glanced at the Celtics' bench with a smug look.

CCTV, Yu Jia, who has recently been increasingly fond of taking apart the stage, looked at Yang Yi and said, "Teacher Yang, how many points would you give Korver for his performance during this period?"

Yang Yi: "..."

On the court, Karl called a timeout after Korver hit three consecutive three-pointers.

And thanks to Korver's wave of attacks, the Heat successfully survived the most difficult period of the night.

After the first half, the score between the two teams was 48 to 49.

After the halftime break, the game continued.

And in the third quarter...

After Riley played all the cards he could use, the Heat finally waited for the moment to decide the outcome with the Celtics!

In the third quarter, Ginobili and Odom both had good performances.

And to buy Mourning some playing time...

Even if it meant fouling, Milicic used his thin body to contend with Duncan and Randolph.

In the final quarter, Su Feng took over the game.

He, who wasn't in good form that game, was like a human-shaped explosive.

And unlike Harden's foul-baiting style of drawing fouls...

Su Feng's foul drawing...

Was either on the way to wrestling with his opponent, or he had already been wrestled to the floor by two or three of the opponent's players.

TNT, Barkley said with emotion, "Even when I was playing...

I've never experienced this level of defense!"

And next to him, Kenny Smith said, "Not just you, Charles...

Seriously, compared to Su, you might even think that the free throws Michael Jordan got were because he was favored by the referees."

To be fair.

If the TNT crosstalk duo continued to lick Su Feng's boots so blindly...

Then one day, Jordan's image in the eyes of American fans would sooner or later turn into a sissy.

In the end, Su Feng, who shot 9 of 24 from the field, including 1 of 6 from three-point range, and 23 of 25 from the free-throw line, successfully helped the Heat barely win this Game 2.

The final score of the game between the two teams was 94 to 90.

From the post-match statistics, the Celtics still lost to stamina in this game.

Because Su Feng seemed to have a lot of free throws, but in fact, the Celtics' total free throw attempts at the end were actually 3 more than the Heat's.

However, affected by stamina, the Celtics players, who went to the free-throw line 38 times in this game, only made 19 of them.

And with the Heat unexpectedly winning two consecutive games in Boston.

The balance of this series had already shifted invisibly.

However, Su Feng, who knew Little Duncan's resilience very well, knew...

Perhaps the real decisive battle of this series had only just begun...

Miami.

The glimmer of hope had already risen from the horizon.

And on May 10th, just as people were speculating about where this series would go...

A new storm was also coming.
