Chapter 53: A Record Breaker
Chapter 53 sets a new record
After the game started, Su Feng did his best to make the ball for Knight Archibald. But Knight Archibald still didn't find the feeling to score, and he hit the iron again and again, allowing the Waterloo Eagles to attack again and again.
Defensively, Knight Archibald was defeated by Su Feng's losing player Evan Turner and couldn't find the north. Knight Archibald's defense seems to be a bit absent-minded, and the attacker doesn't need much flashy skill to break through with ease.
Every time Su Feng and their hard defense reached 24 seconds and the offensive time was about to end, Knight Archibald let Turner hit, and every Anderson packer player had a million grass and mud horses galloping in their hearts.
Even kind-hearted coach Elvin Johnson was outraged by Knight Archibald's attitude. It seems that a good ball of the month is what Nate Archibald asks of himself. A person who can be a star, but doesn't work hard, but is content with the status quo. This attitude towards basketball is something that a head coach cannot change in two words.
Against the Waterloo Eagles, the Anderson Packers were more intense than expected. In the end, Elvin Johnson still relied on the dual point guard lineup of Su Feng and Darren Collison to escape punishment. What about mayonnaise? With 11 points, three turnovers and four rebounds on 4-of-14 shooting, that's how he played.
4,000,000 RMB per year. Maybe Knight Archibald didn't think it was worth it. If you play well, it's okay if you don't, basketball is just a job.
The Anderson Packers narrowly won 100-96 in Philadelphia to avoid a winning streak. But Elvin Johnson and the fans weren't happy. Nate Archibald seems to have lost herself again, and what fans thought was the best combination a week ago has disappeared overnight.
On Nov. 28, the Anderson Packers rushed to Chicago to face the Chicago Bucks one after another. Thanks to Derrick Rose's injury, the otherwise high-profile match immediately lost its biggest attention. Su Feng and the youngest MVP, Rose, have yet to play an impressive game. It's a pity that even God didn't give the fans a chance to see them.
Without Rose, the Chicago Bucks couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Anderson Packers, relying solely on Lore Deng to lead the team. Su Feng had 34 points and 13 assists, and Collison had 18 points. Ervin Johnson relied on a two-point guard lineup to win the game again.
After the game, Oscar Robertson flipped the game's stats to the end and finally saw the name of Nate Archibald.
With 4 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds, Knight Archibald's stats seem to be quite "comprehensive". What Oscar Robertson didn't know was that after the team arrived in Chicago last night, Nate Archibald didn't immediately go to the hotel with the team, but left directly under the guidance of a friend. No one knows where he went or what he did. What else can you expect from a man who doesn't get even the most basic sleep?
In their final game last November, the Anderson Packers ended with a win. December, for the Anderson packers, meant not only Christmas, but also Nowitzki's imminent recovery from injury.
Half a month ago, there were concerns that Nate Archibald was playing so well that Nowitzki wouldn't be on the offensive end when he returned.
But now people are wondering if Knight Archibald will be necessary after Nowitzki's return.
Just as Nate Archibald was about to fall, on December 1, he used a team-high 27 points and a 53 shooting percentage to help the Anderson Packers win at home against the Pistons! And most of Su Feng's 11 assists came from Knight Archibald!
"Knight Archibald felt really bad today, 5 out of 17, that's not what a team's top scorer should be up for! Luckily, the performance was as good as ever, and the Anderson packers withstood the situation. Otherwise, the game may have gone into garbage time
With Su Feng's efforts, the game did not enter garbage time. But Knight Archibald, who had been wasting chances, allowed the Anderson packers to ruin the chances of the score.
With 30 seconds left in the game, the Anderson Packers trailed by 10 points. Elvin Johnson ordered Su Feng and Knight Archibald to be replaced, and the two guards walked off the field in frustration. This declining figure is in stark contrast to the previous infinite scenery.
Su Feng sat on the bench, gritting his teeth at the courtroom, and Nate Archibald leaned back in his chair like a man who was fine.
Like a stranger. Maybe that's how it feels
At the end of the match, an electronic beep resounded throughout the stadium and Edward Calleman William raised his right fist to the boos of the Anderson Packers fans!
77! The Los Angeles Baltimore Bullets win a hard-earned victory at the center of the American route! Now every victory in every game is very precious for the Baltimore bullets.
"Incredibly, at the beginning of the season, we didn't expect the Anderson Packers to win, the Anderson Packers won. Today, we thought the Baltimore bullets would lose, but they didn't. It seems that Ervin Johnson's team just doesn't like to play by common sense. Looking at Edward Calleman's excited expression, even his own heart knew how incredible the victory in this game was, Clyde Drexler shook his head. He had hoped to see the backcourt combination of Knight Archibald and Su Feng today, but he didn't know that today's match with Anderson's packers would be over.
"He also had 25 points, eight assists, three rebounds and one steal today, and he was as consistent as ever. But the other revolver in the hands of the Dallas cowboy seemed to be a little "stuck". 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers and shooting just 29 from the field. If it had been last season, Knight Archibald's performance wouldn't have surprised me at all. But this year, I never thought he would be in the slump again. ”
"Maybe O.J. Knight Archibald is one of those players, Kenny." The phrase "drive high and go low" has been used throughout Knight Archibald's entire career! I think his honeymoon with the Anderson packers might be over. After all, he's one of the few NBA stars whose news is more boring than sports news
Clyde Drexler has seen many examples of genius depravity. If Knight Archibald had been willing to put half of his energy on the training ground, he would not have been beaten like this by Edward Calleman William.
After the game, Nate Archibald was the first to walk into the players' channel. And Su Feng stayed in the arena and was reluctant to leave. Edward Calleman William had a mediocre performance today, shooting 42 from the field and 21 points, which was not his best moment.
In other words, Su Feng and Anderson Packers lost today not to Edward Calleman William, but to a teammate with a bad professional attitude!
At the post-match press conference, the small media room was almost broken by reporters. It wasn't the first time the Anderson Packers have lost this season, but the Anderson Packers have lost the most.
When Su Feng and Nate Archibald both sat down, Murakami didn't see the smiles on the faces of the two young men. Nate Archibald looked contemptuous, as if losing a game wasn't worth mentioning. Su Feng had the feeling of being locked out of the door. Interestingly, Su Feng and Nate Archibald did not make eye contact. They didn't even look at each other!
"May I ask Mr. Nate Archibald, what caused you to lose your state in this competition?" A reporter raised his hand and asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
"It's just one of 82 regular-season games, and after that, I'm sure I'll find the game again." Nate Archibald spread out his hand, and his nonchalant attitude made Elvin Johnson turn blue on the side.
"Didn't a series of previous victories make you happy?" Mougins stood up excitedly. How can a professional player take a loss so naturally?
"Yes, of course, but I don't want to lose." Nate Archibald laughed. Is it necessary to turn basketball into war?
"So, what do you think is the biggest reason why the Anderson packers lost today?" The reporter temporarily left Su Feng behind and dug a big hole for the stable Chinese defender.
Everyone knows that the reason why Anderson packers lost was Knight Archibald, but if this sentence came out of Su Feng's mouth, the effect would be completely different.
Su Feng looked at Knight Archibald. He doesn't care about that guy. Su Feng was really angry. But he is not a fool. Now is not the time to tear his face directly with mayonnaise.
Alexis Sanchez and Marion, two veterans, acted as peacemakers. They pushed Su Feng and Knight Archibald in front of each other, hoping that they would shake hands and make peace.
"It's normal to have a little bit of physical contact in adversarial sports. Don't be mad at Nate Archibald. He didn't mean to. Come on, shake hands. After the training, we went to the steakhouse on North Lotus Avenue. I'm in for a treat. Haha, Alexis Sanchez deliberately used laughter to hide the awkward atmosphere of the courtroom. Knight Archibald reached out and shook Su Feng gently, his expression relaxed.
"It doesn't matter. Keep training, keep training! Marion beckoned everyone to get out of the way and get back to work.
Although after the training, Su Feng and Knight Archibald did not clash again, and the two performed as usual in the locker room. Once a crack of contradiction appears, it is difficult to heal again
In the blink of an eye, the two-day rest is over. Nate Archibald's lace news is still circulating around every corner of Dallas, and Su Feng's stellar performance still makes fans proud. And this backcourt combination is still a topic of conversation among Anderson packers fans.
On Nov. 24, the mighty Purple and Gold once again took on the Anderson Packers. Only this time, the battlefield shifted from Staples to Dallas.
The Baltimore Bullets have been out of luck since they lost to the Anderson Packers in their opening game. Not only did they lose Nash, but they also had a disappointing record.
So far, teams with super luxury rosters have only won 6-7. In addition to Nash, Edward Calleman, William, Howard, and Gasol are all superstars. But the three of them can't play together.
Gasol was forced out of the three-second zone by Howard and played a tangled game. Howard has lost his absolute leadership in magic, and his mind is unbalanced. And Edward Calleman, William, is often paranoid and terrible when faced with a poor record.
The Baltimore bullets in such a bad state were completely considered to have "withdrew" Dallas before the game. The combination of Knight Archibald and Su Feng, although cheap, adds up to less than 10 million yuan. But these two guys are much better than F4.
After the game began, Howard made a bizarre mistake to make fans laugh at the American Airlines Center. When the guy turned around and broke through Kaman, he actually put the ball on the instep of his foot!
The Black Mamba shook his head helplessly. What else could he say? Go up and fight Howard?
The Baltimore Bullets made a mistake and the offense fell to the Anderson packers. The fans were thrilled because Su Feng and Knight Archibald were about to start performing!
Although Su Feng and Knight Archibald were a little unhappy on the training ground two days ago, Su Feng would not let personal matters affect the game. When Knight Archibald was picked up by Carman without the ball and ran out of the vacancy, Su Feng or immediately passed the ball to Knight Archibald. Work is work, life is life. In life, Su Feng doesn't like Nate Archibald's attitude towards basketball, but at work, they are teammates!
Faced with the opportunity to open a three-point shot, Nate Archibald made a decisive shot, but it can be seen from his eyes that Nate Archibald's shot is simply terrible. He didn't even finish the shooting, he shot in a hurry.
Sure enough, the basketball came out of the box. Knight Archibald's shot failed to score, only adding a rebound to Howard's stats.
Although the first offense failed to score, the Anderson Packers fans didn't seem to be in a hurry. Who can guarantee that he can hit a hundred shots from beyond the three-point line, not even the greatest shooter in the world. Knight Archibald just hasn't found that feeling yet. He will definitely turn the tide. After all, he and Su Feng are now the strongest backcourt combination in the league!
But five minutes into the first quarter, fans were finally waiting for Knight Archibald's first goal. Su Feng scored a goal to assist Knight Archibald to play in the middle. The basketball still jumped on the rack for a long time and finally fell into the net.
"While Edward Calleman Willian defended well, I have to admit that this conductivity also gave Knight Archibald a lot of chances. It's just that... I have to say, it was Nate Archibald who wasted his chance. The low percentage doesn't have much to do with Edward Calleman, William. Oscar Robertson hit the nail on the head. He didn't want to blame Edward Calleman William for Nate Archibald's poor performance.
Edward Calleman, William's defense against Knight Archibald today was nowhere near tight. Nate Archibald won the first point so late because of his own problems!
Knight Archibald had just scored and hadn't had time to celebrate. Defensively, he was easily broken by 34-year-old Edward Calleman William, who was in the crowd and forced a layup to score two points with ease.
"Knight Archibald's legs are like lead. Maybe this guy spent all his energy on the four girls who came home with him that day," Clyde Drexler couldn't help but joke, and Knight Archibald's profile is now known throughout the country.
After defeating the Baltimore Bullets on Nov. 22, the Anderson Packers were unmatched on the 23rd. But that doesn't mean the players can take a holiday. Basic training must come.
On the morning of the 22nd, when Knight Archibald walked into the training ground of the American Airlines Route Center Center, half an hour had passed since the start of the Anderson packers training.
As soon as Knight Archibald pushed the door in, everyone stopped in surprise. Elvin Johnson looked at Nate Archibald, overwhelmed. Knight Archibald is the first player to train late in so many years!
"Hey, I'm sorry, boss." I didn't get a good night's rest last night. Nate Archibald nodded, grinning. Ervin Johnson didn't speak, just motioned for him to go to the locker room to change.
Elvin Johnson is not a hot-tempered manager. He is not like Popovich, George Carr and Sloan. The Anderson Packers rarely feel Elvin Johnson's anger because the coach believes his players are conscious and have a basic professional attitude. Even Oscar Robertson and Delonte West, who were at odds with the team last year, did not do anything as extraordinary as being half an hour late for training.
Knight Archibald's attitude towards professional basketball made Elvin Johnson very cold. But he decided to be patient first. Some athletes can clearly distinguish between the field and the field. No matter how crazy you are playing outside, it doesn't affect the state of the game.
Apparently, Elvin Johnson overestimated Nate Archibald.
In the afternoon of confrontation training, Knight Archibald once again put on a miserable performance. For the second time this season, Knight Archibald was on the training ground under Alexis Sanchez.
Knight Archibald just smiled and apologized to his teammates and coach on the training pitch before continuing to make mistakes. He didn't seem to realize the gravity of his terrible condition. In Knight Archibald's mind, competition naturally comes to the game!
If Su Feng was in such poor condition in training, he would definitely train hard tonight until his condition returned to normal. On the other hand, Nate Archibald disappeared again after being fined for being late at the end of training.
At this time, Su Feng was actually a little angry. Two people with completely different attitudes towards basketball couldn't be more compatible.
