Silently Writing

Chapter 556 Master and Disciple

As long as the other side doesn't use nuclear weapons first, I can conveniently promise that I will never send out Ginobili first, right?

  Unfortunately......

  On the court, looking at the Mavericks fans who were still in a state of confusion......

  Actually, at this moment, Su Feng was also confused.

  Because the facts have proven once again tonight that Ginobili's exclusive glitch switch has no pattern to follow......

  Moreover, when he enters "Manu Time", as his teammate, you often want to kick him to death even more than his opponents do.

  "I saw that you guys didn't keep up just now, so I thought it would be better if I shot it myself.

  Because this way, you can make fewer round trips." On the court, while retreating on defense, Ginobili looked at Su Feng earnestly and said.

  Su Feng: "......"

  Good heavens!

  So, you're that super support who can protect all my teammates as long as I kill all the opponents?

  At the American Airlines Center, the second quarter of the game turned into a shootout between Terry and Ginobili.

  And if Su Feng remembers correctly, in his memory, Ginobili and Terry were the NBA Sixth Men of the Year for the 07/08 and 08/09 seasons, respectively.

  This season, as of now, affected by fluctuating form, Ginobili is averaging 13.3 points for the Heat.

  And Terry is averaging 15.2 points for the Mavericks.

  Because this season, after Davis took over in Dallas, Terry has been completely transformed into a "Super Sixth Man", so in a sense......

  You can simply understand Ginobili and Terry's "arm-wrestling" match tonight as a head-to-head PK between the two major Sixth Man of the Year candidates in the NBA this season.

  It's just......

  Compared to Terry......

  No matter how you look at it, this Ginobili, who is about to transform from the "Pampas Eagle" into the "Pampas Vulture", is more like a god.

  On the court, after Ginobili scored another point for the Heat with a twisting layup, even the always calm Davis couldn't help but complain on the Mavericks' bench, "Before the start of tonight's game, no one told us that the Heat's bench was hiding a superstar."

  In the second quarter, Su Feng, with the妖刀 (Yao Dao, Demon Blade) in hand, was not in a hurry to draw his sword.

  After all, stabbing people with a sword isn't as satisfying as chopping people with a knife, is it?

  It's just a pity......

  As a "turnover machine", Ginobili also belongs to the type of player who doesn't get many assists.

  Therefore, if you only look at Su Feng's stats in the second quarter and cover up his name......

  Then you will definitely think that this is a report card submitted by Ariza.

  In the second half of the second quarter, after O'Neal and others returned to the court, the Heat maintained their lead over the Mavericks.

  At the end of the first half, the score between the Heat and the Mavericks was 64 to 57.

  After the intermission, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

  In the third quarter, the Mavericks attacked first.

  As a result, Nowitzki assisted Su Feng with a block as soon as they came up.

  Without being able to completely overtake Su Feng, Nowitzki's layup after turning around was obviously rushed.

  As an "Encyclopedia of Nowitzki", Su Feng knows very well that in addition to the Golden Rooster Independence, Nowitzki's turnaround dribble is also his specialty when he is posting up.

  Therefore, just now, when defending, Su Feng deliberately gave Nowitzki half a body position.

  "Originally, defensive players should be very passive when defending.

  But Su always manages to introduce the offensive direction of the offensive players into the routines he has carefully designed for these offensive masters through his own guidance when defending.

  Currently in the NBA, except for Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, basically, most players will be fooled when they are facing Su." On the Mavericks' bench, looking back at Mike Brown, Davis said to him.

  And upon hearing this, looking at Davis, who had been full of praise for Su Feng all night......

  Brown always felt that Davis's heart was not ordinary.

  Because it's already this time......

  Shouldn't you, as the head coach, first think about how we can catch up with the score?

  On the sidelines, after patting the shoulder of Brown, who had a question mark on his face, Davis smiled and said, "Don't worry... When playing against this Heat team, if we get anxious, that's what the Heat wants to see."

  On the court, it was the Heat's turn to attack.

  Taking advantage of O'Neal's screen, Su Feng made a three-pointer from beyond the arc.

  67 to 57.

  And as the Heat extended the score to double digits......

  Now, even if Davis tells Brown not to worry......

  Brown couldn't listen at all.

  Because in Brown's eyes......

  If Davis continues to direct slowly, then what's the difference between the Mavericks and dying in vain?

  Hey!

  You can't say......

  Although Brown is only Davis's assistant at this time, he does have a pretty "accurate" grasp of the game situation. (Note 1)

  Because on the court, with 9 minutes and 12 seconds left in the third quarter, the Heat's lead tonight has been extended to 15 points.

  "Why don't we... call a timeout, John?" On the sidelines, Brown, with an increasingly nervous expression, said to Davis.

  "Don't worry." After shaking his head, Davis said unhurriedly.

  This......

  This isn't urgent?

  To be honest......

  If Davis wasn't wearing the halo of three championships on his head, then at this moment, Mike Brown really wanted to kick him back to the locker room and take over the game himself.

  Swish——!

  On the court, after Su Feng hit his 18th point of the game one step inside the three-point line on the left wing, the score on the scoreboard between the Heat and the Mavericks......

  Has been rewritten to 78 to 61.

  At this time, Brown felt that Davis seemed to be a bit "unworthy of his name".

  Because in tonight's game, apart from Davis seeming very professional when talking about Su Feng......

  Brown couldn't feel that Davis had any role in on-the-spot adaptability.

  However......

  On the court, just when Brown was still doubting his life......

  Suddenly......

  The situation changed suddenly!

  "The reason why I didn't call a timeout just now is not because I want to use this opportunity like Phil Jackson to hone the players' ability to adjust themselves on the court.

  But because......

  We also had a lot of opportunities on offense, but our players didn't manage to seize them.

  As an offensive team, sometimes, the rhythm of the game is far more important than the score.

  As long as our rhythm is not disrupted, then what I need to do as the head coach......

  Is to believe that the players on the court have the ability to catch up with the score at any time." On the Mavericks' bench, after Nowitzki, Finley, and Howard joined forces to launch a 15-2 attack, pointing to the score of 80-76 on the scoreboard, Davis patted Brown on the shoulder and smiled.

  "So all of this was within your expectations, John?" Looking up at Davis, Brown never expected that he was the clown himself.

  At this time, after pointing to his head, Davis said, "How can I be so magical that I can always predict the trend of the game?

  I'm just......

  I believe in and understand the players of this Mavericks team more than you do."

  As one of the most offensively powerful teams in the league at the moment......

  After arriving in Dallas, Davis discovered when reviewing the Mavericks' playoff series against the Warriors......

  If "Little General" Johnson could fully utilize the offensive talents of these Mavericks players on the court......

  Then based on that Warriors team......

  What would they rely on to play against the Mavericks?

  And in Davis's view, the same theory also applies to the Mavericks' game against the Heat tonight.

  Because if the Mavericks can't even beat the Heat on offense......

  Then you can't expect Nowitzki and others to be as omnipresent on the defensive end as Su Feng, right?

  In the NBA, the biggest characteristic of run-and-gun teams like the Mavericks and Warriors is......

  Being 20 points behind is really just a matter of blinking for them to catch up.

  Admittedly, from a matchup perspective, the little driver, who is still a bit short of his absolute peak, was made very uncomfortable by Su Feng tonight.

  However, when this German tank can always hit those incredible high-arching shots for the Mavericks......

  Su Feng also began to have no way to deal with him.

  Because in the NBA......

  The reason why superstars are superstars.

  Is because their performance, for the most part, only depends on their personal condition.

  On the court, the Heat have possession.

  After being pushed back by the Mavericks, Su Feng made a gesture to O'Neal, who routinely chose to coast in the third quarter.

  Upon seeing this, O'Neal immediately took off his jacket and plunged into the deep sea.

  High post, at the moment of blocking Howard for Su Feng, O'Neal suddenly turned around and cut to the basket.

  Perhaps Chandler's "fishing rod" can even catch a fish of more than ten kilograms.

  But......

  Faced with O'Neal, who weighs nearly 150 kilograms......

  If he can lift O'Neal up, then I'm afraid his "fishing rod" is really going to challenge the heavens.

  At the American Airlines Center, when the "Shark" emerged from the water......

  After leaving the floor with a "Shark Splash", O'Neal instantly received an alley-oop pass from Su Feng in the sky.

  Bang——!

  What a domineering forced entry!

  What a flower-picking, leaf-flying assist!

  82 to 76!

  In front of the TV, although the Mavericks' scoring momentum in the past two minutes has been very strong......

  But after O'Neal and Su Feng formed a wonderful "killing spree" connection, the Heat fans in front of the TV immediately felt relieved.

  At this time, on the Mavericks' bench, Davis also walked to the scorer's table and requested a timeout.

  Brown: "......"

  "John, didn't you say... that in the case of no problems with the game rhythm, we as coaches only need to choose to trust the players?" When Davis walked back to the bench from the scorer's table, Brown asked curiously.

  Upon hearing this, after sighing deeply, Davis said solemnly to Brown: "Mike......

  As an assistant coach, I must admit that even I can't compare to your achievements in defense.

  But......

  If you don't understand why I'm calling a timeout at this time......

  Then in the future, when you receive invitations from other teams, you really need to think carefully about whether you have the ability to serve as the head coach of a team."

  Brown: "......"

  On the Mavericks' bench, looking at his assistant coach with extremely poor comprehension in front of him, Davis explained to him: "In basketball games, in addition to tactics, rhythm, and the players' individual performance, what we as coaches often need to learn is to observe the opponents.

  Look, compared to two minutes ago......

  The Heat team now has already changed.

  And if I don't remind my players to raise their attention to a level that can match this Heat team at this time......

  Then what awaits us next is likely to be a wave from the Heat."

  Brown: "......"

  In Su Feng's original timeline, the reason why Mike Brown, as a famous coach who once assisted LeBron James, has not been able to go further is because he is actually more suitable for being an assistant coach than a head coach.

  Because as a head coach, this guy not only doesn't have enough presence, but he is also quite anxious in grasping the situation.

  But precisely......

  As the head coach of a team, these two points are the most critical.

  Because in many cases, in addition to ensuring that you can suppress your star player at critical moments, a coach's presence.......

  When your players are playing on the court, they can also feel something called a sense of security.

  Just like how the Celtics with and without Auerbach are completely two different things.

  In "Slam Dunk", when Ryonan fought against Shohoku, the reason why Shohoku almost collapsed at the last moment was because they lacked a pillar of strength on the sidelines at that time.

  And even if Coach Anzai in the manga is either coasting or being ravaged on the chin by Sakuragi......

  But when shaping that scene, Inoue Takehiko did refer to the influence of many famous coaches on a team in real sports.

  However, it is a pity......

  Mike Brown himself does not possess such qualities.

  Therefore, let alone his extremely poor judgment of the game situation.

  "That's John Davis."

  And on the Heat's bench, looking at Davis who chose to call a timeout......

  At this moment, Riley, who rarely praises others, really sincerely believes that he had underestimated this guy too much in the past.

  In comparison, Su Feng, for this "super coach" he personally cultivated, felt that......

  He really didn't misjudge anyone back then.

  In Su Feng's view, like Lue, whom he favored before......

  Davis and Tyronn Lue both belong to the type of 千里马 (qian li ma, a steed that can run a thousand li in a day, a rare talent) who can make a breakthrough as long as they are guided by a patron.

  On the court, after the timeout, the game continued.

  After this timeout, Riley replaced Ginobili and Korver to help Su Feng and O'Neal further create space.

  On the Mavericks' side, Terry replaced Finley.

  As a result......

  Just when Su Feng was preparing to show Davis and his Mavericks his great sword......

  Manu Ginobili once again forcefully suppressed the sword that Su Feng had already drawn halfway.

  "Su......

  Although Manu has made these few shots......

  I always feel that it's not good to play like this."

  On the court, after repeatedly demanding the ball in the low post and being completely ignored by Ginobili, O'Neal, recalling being ruled by Kobe, who had his passing key removed, broke out in a cold sweat.

  After patting O'Neal on the back, Su Feng smiled and said: "Relax, Shaq......

  Because in the future, you will experience many such moments."

  O'Neal: "......"

  Many......

  Many such moments?

  Then won't that let the fish play?

  On the court, after seeing O'Neal's deep fear of Ginobili's playstyle of removing the passing key, Su Feng touched his chin and said: "Shaq...... If you can't adapt to Manu's playstyle for a while......

  Then I suggest that you can take advantage of your height to touch his head when you have the opportunity to vent the resentment in your heart."

  Upon hearing this, after sighing deeply......

  What else could O'Neal do besides accept Su Feng's proposal?

  And it is worth mentioning......

  Just when O'Neal really ran over to touch Ginobili's head, Su Feng felt that he had discovered a blind spot that had been ignored.

  That is......

  In his original timeline, could it be that Duncan often ruffled Ginobili's head because he couldn't stand Ginobili's crazy Xia Ji Ba play when he went crazy?

  At the American Airlines Center, after Ginobili's sudden rampage, the Heat entered the final quarter with a score of 102 to 89.

  In the past two years, as the pace of the NBA regular season has become faster and faster, fans have become accustomed to the score breaking 100 in three quarters in the regular season.

  And for some fans who prefer to watch hand-to-hand combat, Stern also satisfied their needs in the playoffs.

  Use offense as much as possible in the regular season to attract fans.

  And in the playoffs, return the right to decide the outcome of the game to the players as much as possible.

  This is the reason why the NBA was able to have so many famous scenes in the Stern era.

  And on the court, in the final quarter......

  Su Feng finally drew the sword that he had always wanted to draw, but had always been held down by Ginobili.

  Dallas, are you ready to welcome the nuclear bomb baptism?

  Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

  With Ginobili, who was in excellent condition, helping to attract the defense, Su Feng, who was still relentless in the early stages of the fourth quarter, quickly made Davis feel the despair that his opponents had when facing Su Feng, this stamina monster.

  Tonight, what Ginobili's "Manu Time" brought to the Heat was more than just a lead in the score when entering the final moment?

  You must know that because he was forced to coast in the first three quarters tonight......

  At this moment, Su Feng's physical strength is far from reaching its limit.

  Two corners.

  The left and right wings.

  Top of the arc.

  After continuously using his teammates' screens to create opportunities, Su Feng, who lost hundreds of millions of iron shots in the final quarter, completely killed the suspense of this game with five consecutive three-pointers.

  At this time, on the Heat's bench......

  O'Neal, who originally thought that after coming to Miami, he would be able to win one or two more championships before he retired at the very least, suddenly realized in a trance......

  It seems......

  Like......

  He will be able to build a dynasty in Miami with Su Feng, Ginobili and others before he retires?

  At this moment, if you were to ask what O'Neal, who is waving a towel for Su Feng, wants to say the most......

  Then it would probably be......

  "Who's next".

  And on the Mavericks' bench, looking at Davis, who can still face the failure calmly, Brown asked: "John...... Don't you think it's a pity that we lost this game?"

  "Pity?

  Well... It is indeed a pity.

  But facing Su and Manu in such good condition......

  Obviously, we didn't show the state that could match them." After patting Brown on the shoulder, Davis said.

  In the NBA, there are 82 games in a season.

  And for Davis, who has long since seen through the rise and fall of dynasties......

  If he were to deny the Mavericks' progress in the new season because of the loss of a game......

  Then wouldn't he be making a fool of himself?

  Through this game, Davis did feel the power and terror of this Heat team.

  But this does not mean that the Mavericks have no chance when facing this Heat team.

  After all, it is impossible for the Heat to have such a good state every game like tonight.

  "I'm very strange, Su......

  Obviously, after winning Dallas tonight, we have achieved a 10-game winning streak, but why do I always feel that you are not happy at all?"

  On the Heat's bench, feeling the pleasure brought by the super long winning streak that he hadn't felt for a long time, O'Neal asked curiously while hugging Su Feng.

  "Happy?

  Well... it is indeed worth being happy about.

  But Shaq, this season is just beginning." After wiping the sweat that blended with his on O'Neal, Su Feng said.

  In the NBA, if a team wants to go to the end, it means they need to go through a long journey of nearly 7 months.

  And for Su Feng, who has stood at the peak before......

  If he thinks that the Heat is invincible because of this 10-game winning streak......

  Then you can't say that Su Feng watched the AC Milan games in vain, right?

  In fact, in addition to the famous Istanbul Night, AC Milan has been reversed more than once in the Champions League games.

  And as an elderly Milan fan......

  How could Su Feng not know the truth of "don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat"?

  Through this game, Su Feng has already felt the threat that this Mavericks team has brought to the Heat.

  In addition, there are the 76ers, who have already played against each other and are evenly matched with this Heat team, as well as the Celtics, Suns, and other powerhouses who have not yet played against each other this season......

  Therefore......

  Can a dynasty be established easily?

  Wake up!

  If you want to build a dynasty, you have to lay the foundation first!

  In this era that has already gone berserk......

  Su Feng knows that before the dust settles, everything is unknown.

  ……

  On the evening of the 14th, after saying goodbye to his former mentor Davis and Dallas, Su Feng and the Heat flew overnight to the location of their next game:

  Portland.

  And waiting for them there will be......

  Garnett, who recently said to Paul that "the sky is your limit".

  And, in the eyes of the Korean media, after landing in the NBA, he was subjected to racial discrimination by Americans, so he failed to make it out......

  "Asia's First Center" Ha Seung-jin.

  "Su, how about we make a bet?"

  On the plane to Portland, O'Neal, looking at Su Feng sitting next to him, felt that he needed to add a little motivation to the game, said to Su Feng.

  Upon hearing this......

  As a "clod" who dared to accept even Jordan's bet back then......

  Before O'Neal could say the content of his bet, Su Feng responded to him: "No matter what you bet on, you are destined to lose this time, Shaq."

  "Is that so? That's not necessarily!"

  After raising the corners of his mouth slightly, O'Neal said to Su Feng in this way, in this way on the plane.

  At the same time......

  Just at the moment when O'Neal finished saying the content of his bet......

  "Ding——!"

  A familiar voice instantly entered Su Feng's mind.

  ……
