Chapter 378: Give the championship directly to the Raptors! (5000 words chapter!) RUA!)
In other words, after the end of the regular season, in addition to the seating schedule of each team, the data king of the 99/00 season has also been determined.
Stimulated by someone, O'Neal, who swam in the sewers for a year, averaged 30.8 points per game to win the second scoring title of his career.
Duncan, on the other hand, quietly took the title of rebounding king with an average of 14.1 rebounds per game.
The assist title was won by Kidd, the new league's No. 1 point guard.
In the 99/00 season, Kidd averaged 10.5 assists per game.
The block king ultimately belonged to the Heat's Mourning.
In the 99/00 season, Mourning averaged 3.8 blocks per game, the highest in the league in blocks for this statistic.
And Su Feng became the league's steal king for the first time.
In the 99/00 season, Su Feng, who played 82 regular season games, averaged 28.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.8 steals while playing 39.4 minutes per game.
He shot 47.8 percent from the field, 40.1 percent from three-point range and 89.5 percent from the free throw line.
According to ESPN statistics, in addition to Su Feng ranking first in steals, in the 99/00 season, Su Feng's shooting rate was also an astonishing 63.5%......
It can rank first among all forward players in the NBA this season.
Although the data does not fully reflect Su Feng's dominance on the field, it is not difficult to see from the regular season report card handed over by Su Feng that this season, Su Feng has made a lot of improvements in all aspects.
In the regular season, he not only played the biggest "58+ triple-double" in NBA history in the game against the Knicks, but also, in the game against the Nets, he also tied the regular season single-game scoring record of Boss Joe.
In addition, after the regular season of this season, Su Feng's current career total score has also risen to 7094 points.
In the 99/00 season, Su Feng totaled 2,362 points, 640 rebounds, 328 assists, 230 steals and 82 blocks.
If nothing else, before Su Feng's designated successor enters the league, the record of the youngest Mr. Wanfen in the NBA will be held by Su Feng for a long time in the future.
No way......
Since the 98/99 season is a shrinking season, Su Feng is destined to not monopolize the record of the youngest Mr. Wanfen.
And in this regard, Su Feng did not feel regretful.
Because the road of young people in the future has been blocked enough to death, if you don't leave some way for young people to live, then you can't let them live in their own shadows all the time, right?
Wake up, he, Su Feng, is not a "rogue" like "Michael-I Jordan in all kinds of records".
He's just "Sue-y'all have to look up to me-Kaede".
……
On the 20th and 21st, the Raptors focused on recovery training.
After winning last year's championship, everyone knows very well that good physical fitness is the key to determining how far the Raptors can go in the playoffs.
Therefore, there is no need for Davis to remind them, like some of the more fun-loving players in the Raptors, they have taken the initiative to lock the VIP membership cards of Toronto's major nightclubs into the cabinet this time.
And on the 22nd, Xiao Yao, who was originally planned to train in Philadelphia until May, also came to Toronto.
In Xiao Yao's words, this is the opportunity to watch Brother Feng's game for nothing.......
Ahh
This kind of opportunity to learn Brother Feng's play at close range on the spot, how could he miss it?
And though, Xiao Yao's arrival has increased Su Feng's workload when cooking a lot recently......
But as an excellent cook, Su Feng enjoys it.
Especially looking at Xiao Yao, who is getting stronger day by day under his careful feeding......
Tsk——!
"Oh, look at my goddamn generation!"
In the past two days, Brother Feng, who has been called by Xiao Yao one by one, not to mention how happy Su Feng is in his heart.
On the morning of the 23rd, the Raptors officially announced the team's 13-man playoff roster.
After the final discussions between "Wo Long" and "Phoenix Young" and Davis, Elvin Williams at the shooting guard position was excluded from the Raptors' playoff roster this year.
And veteran Tierney Boggs is on the last train on the Raptors' playoff roster.
The Raptors' 13-man playoff roster is as follows:
Center: Big Ben, Barthal, Max.
Power forwards: O'Neal Jr., Thomas, Davis.
Small forwards: Su Feng, Slater.
Shooting guards: Carter, Curry.
Point guards: Maddy, Nash, Boggs.
This season, Bartell has played in just 22 regular-season games with the Raptors, averaging 2.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.
However, as one of the Raptors' secret weapons against O'Neal, Barth was the first player to be included in the team's playoff squad by Davis, in addition to the Raptors' main players.
Davis took a fancy to Pather's innate strength as a Mongol warrior.
In Davis's opinion, it doesn't matter if Pathl can't guard O'Neal, anyway, as long as he can get that shark's mentality, the Raptors will already make a lot of money.
In addition, veteran Boggs did not play many times in the regular season.
It's just that considering that the Raptors were suddenly blinded by Francis when they played the Nets this year, the Raptors' coaching staff agreed that Boggs, who is good at marking opponents' breakout players, may be able to play in the playoffs.
As for the other tools, people......
There's nothing to mention.
After all, even a fifty-year veteran Long Mi may not be able to accurately say the name of Su Feng's substitute.
On the afternoon of the 23rd, the Raptors had their final training session before the start of the first round of the playoffs in the training hall.
The training focused on shooting, and Davis didn't emphasize much on tactics.
After many days of adjustment, the biggest advantage of the young team is vividly reflected in the Raptors.
Looking at the players who have recovered from the exhaustion of the late regular season, the whole Raptors team is full of confidence in the upcoming playoffs.
On the night of the 23rd, at the Canadian Route Center Arena, the Raptors ushered in the first round of the playoffs with the Knicks.
Like last year, this year's playoff first round is still a best-of-five affair.
At the scene, when the players entered the ceremony, the home DJ Martin used a three-minute introduction, which made the entire route center arena shake suddenly.
“MVP————!!”
“MVP————!!”
“MVP————!!”
With applause and cheers, at the moment when Su Feng appeared in the finale, according to on-site measurements, the decibels of the entire route center arena had exceeded 140.
In the commentary seat, because they had already prepared for this, it was not until two minutes after Su Feng's entrance ceremony ended that the commentators of the major TV stations took off their earplugs one after another.
It is said that watching the ball costs electricity.
But for those who were on the night of April 23, 2000, they knew very well that watching football was not only costly, but also expensive.
CCTV, when the close-up was given to Yao Ming, who was sitting on the sidelines, Director Zhang smiled: "Oh, don't say it, after Yao Ming put on the suit, he looks a lot more mature." ”
On the side, Director Sun echoed: "This year, Yao Ming has confirmed that he will participate in the NBA draft, so next year, in addition to Su Feng, Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi and Pathl, we will see another Chinese player playing in the NBA." ”
I have to say that the Chinese fans who were born here can be described as quite happy.
Because where could the rabbits at this time have thought that in Su Feng's original time and space, the future Chinese men's basketball team would be reduced to playing in the Olympic qualifying match?
On the field, after the entrance ceremony of the two teams, the big screen on the scene also gave the start of the two teams tonight.
Knicks: Ewing, Johnson, Sprewell, Houston, Ward.
Raptors: Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., Su Feng, Carter, Maddy.
One thing to say, judging from the Knicks' lineup, Su Feng really can't understand why they took the playoff ticket so hard.
Because as far as the Knicks' introductory lineup is concerned, do you dare to say that they are not luxurious?
However, the reality is so cruel.
Neither blowing nor black, this season is definitely the most heart-wrenching season Ewing has ever experienced in his life.
From the beginning of the season, to being removed from the "NBA's Top 50 Superstars" by his own fans in the middle of the season......
Only the devil knows what Ewing has been through in the past year.
In the center of the court, Big Ben and Ewing jump ball to start the game.
There was no suspense in the result, and the Knicks had the ball.
Ward dribbled past half-court and Houston ran along the baseline before moving around the top post for a good three-point shot.
It's a pity that the ball popped out of the frame, and Big Ben protected the backcourt rebound.
After Van Gundy left class and Don Cheney took office, the Knicks' offense was indeed much better than before.
Because Doncheni is not as obsessed with stepping on the line as Van Gundy, Houston's stats also ushered in a surge in the second half of the regular season.
This season, as the Knicks' leading scorer, Houston averaged 20.9 points per game while shooting 48.9% from the field and 44.5% from three-point range.
Therefore, the Raptors also made a targeted arrangement for Houston defensively.
That is, in this round of the series with the Knicks, Houston will enjoy the supreme VIP service provided to him by Su Feng.
"That's why we've been defending with Kuasu Feng!
Because although Houston had already grabbed the opportunity to shoot just now, because Su Feng's pursuit came too quickly, his rhythm when he shot was obviously affected. CCTV, Director Zhang explained.
"Well, as long as you disrupt the pitcher's rhythm, his shooting percentage will definitely be disturbed." On the side, Director Sun echoed the road.
On the court, the Raptors pushed back and attacked.
Don't look at the offense of this Knicks, but compared with the Van Gundy era, this Knicks' defense has no system at all in Su Feng's opinion.
In this ball, the Knicks' defensive center of gravity was attracted by Su Feng, and Carter held the ball straight to the inside, and scored the first two points for the Raptors with a powerful tomahawk dunk.
And in turn, after Ewing's rabbit jumped out, the Raptors pushed back again.
Carter came with his hands open from beyond the three-point line and scored five straight points after the opening.
0 to 5.
On the sidelines, Knicks coach Don Cheney already had a faint sense of something was wrong.
Because as Su Feng said before, once the Raptors' opponents concentrated too many defensive forces on Su Feng's body, then their other side would not be able to resist Carter's offensive at all.
This season, Carter is averaging 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
Judging from the data, Carter is slightly lower than Su Feng in the second season of his career in his previous life.
But in terms of efficiency, Carter's efficiency is extremely exaggerated.
This season, Carter shot 50.5 percent from the field, 38.4 percent from three-point range and 79 percent from the free throw line.
With an average of only 14.9 shots per game, his average points per game are only 4 points less than Su Feng's original time and space.
As the No. 2 scorer in the Raptors, although Carter lost a lot of shooting rights because of Su Feng's appearance, on the contrary, under Su Feng's involvement, Carter's output environment was not comparable to the Carter in Su Feng's memory.
On the court, after Carter chased down a three-point shot, the Knicks attacked.
Ewing faltered after struggling to shake up the big book......
was punished by Su Feng's justice from the sky.
Smack——!
In the center of the route, when Su Feng pinned Ewing's turning layup to the rebound, the whole arena immediately cheered.
And Ewing, who looked confused, was infinitely dilating his pupils, and he couldn't accept the reality that Su Feng's hat had dropped himself.
Look to the sky!
Wasn't he still chasing Houston just now?
Why did he make up for the inside line in the blink of an eye?
TNT, Smith gave Ewing the answer.
"This is the Raptors!
This is the Raptors who are in playoff form!
By the time Ewing was ready for the singles, their flanks had already switched in an instant! ”
Just now, using the change of defense with Maddie, Su Feng once again completed the textbook-style defense teaching.
On the court, Ewing, who was beaten by Su Feng's hat, was still in a daze, and the Raptors had already formed a five-to-four situation in the frontcourt.
In this ball, Maddie completed a stunning one-handed windmill after brushing Ward into the inside.
0 to 7!
On the sidelines, Knicks coach Don Cheney quickly took a timeout when he saw this.
It's just that in the face of such an amazing opening offense from the Raptors......
Doncheni suddenly felt like he could understand his predecessor's desperation in the face of the Raptors.
After the timeout, Doncheni decided to switch to man-to-man tactics against the Raptors.
However, for someone......
Since it's one-on-one, don't blame him for being polite.
On the court, after Sprewell scored the first two points for the Knicks with a layup, Su Feng immediately returned Sprewell's answer on the wing!
This is Su Feng's signature dry pull.
There is a sense of elegance in the neatness.
Domineering but not revealing, low-key and slightly flamboyant, gorgeous and elegant......
Even if you search all human languages, you can't find the best description of Su Feng's dryness!
2 to 9.
Although on the scoreboard, Su Feng's dry pull only increased the Raptors by 2 points, but for the Raptors fans on the scene, this is not as simple as a mere 2 points?
“MVP————!!”
“MVP————!!”
“MVP————!!”
"Hey, this game feels like if the Knicks continue to play like this, and the first quarter will take it." CCTV, Director Zhang said with a smile.
On the court, the Knicks attacked, and Sprewell pressed heavily to score two more points for the Knicks.
This ball, Carter wanted to reach out and break the ball too much when he was defending.
And this is also a bad habit that Su Feng has not been able to get rid of for a long time after asking Carter.
That alone doesn't make Carter a top-tier perimeter defender like his cousin and Kobe.
However, even so, Carter is irreplaceable in Su Feng's mind.
The Raptors attacked, and Carter, who scored five points in a row after opening tonight, immediately attracted the Knicks' assistance after breaking through Houston's defensive zone.
Using his excellent physicality, Carter can eat the vast majority of defenders in this league raw in a one-on-one situation.
After turning around and throwing the ball to Su Feng, Carter used his containment to complete a dream linkage with Su Feng.
After the Knicks' defensive center of gravity was attracted to Carter, Su Feng's side naturally formed an "empty space".
So, in a high position, facing Spreville, Su Feng pulled out his hand again!
Hmmm——!
4 to 11!
The infinite misalignment advantage on the front line is fundamental to the Raptors' conquest of the league in the past two years.
And although the Knicks have a good reserve of personnel on the forward line, they are destined to be unable to compete with this Raptors because of Don Cheney's backward defensive philosophy.
In addition, he received cynicism from his own fans before the game......
The Knicks, who are far inferior to the Raptors in terms of fighting spirit, are even more unable to limit the Raptors' three guards in defense.
By the end of the first quarter, the Raptors had a 19-point lead over the Knicks.
The scores of the two teams were 19-38 in the first quarter.
Su Feng scored 9 points in a single quarter, while Carter and Maddie scored 8 and 6 points respectively.
In the second quarter of the game, Doncheney originally wanted to rely on the main force of Death to recover some points......
But with Su Feng not stopping, Don Cheney's beautiful fantasy soon came to naught.
This season, if the NBA doesn't award the best sixth man to Nash, then in Su Feng's opinion, this award can be canceled in the future.
In the 99/00 season, as the Raptors' backup ace, Nash averaged 13.9 points and 8.9 assists per game.
Under Nash's tandem, "the Raptors in the second quarter can't be messed with" has now become the consensus of all teams in the league.
In the second quarter of the game, Nash, who came off the bench, scored 5 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, helping the Raptors quickly extend their lead to 30 points.
After halftime, in the third quarter of the game, the Raptors took the initiative to slow down their pace.
In the playoffs, winning by 1 point is a win, and winning by 20 points is also a win, so Davis, who has no grudge against the Knicks, does not want to squeeze the potential of the main players in this game.
It's just that......
Although Davis's idea is good......
But he never expected that the Knicks, whose morale was at the bottom, would be so unbeaten.
In the third quarter of the game, the point difference when the Raptors led the most even reached 45 points.
On the Knicks' bench, Doncheni felt like he was 100 percent in Van Gundy's footsteps after this year's playoffs.
Because of Jie Nima, Davis on the other side is not a person!
In Don Cheney's opinion, he really had never seen someone so brazen as Davis!
Be reasonable......
Everyone is out to mess around, why do you need to beat me to death?
Get......
Regardless of whether Davis did it on purpose or not, in this alliance, there is one more person who wants to assassinate him.
In the end, 88-131, the Raptors started their title defense with a slaughter in their playoff opener.
Su Feng handed in 26 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in his playoff debut this year.
Carter contributed 20 points, five rebounds and three assists.
Maddy finished with 18 points, five rebounds and six assists.
Nash had 14 points, eight assists and one rebound.
Big Ben grabbed 17 rebounds, plus three blocks, four steals, and two assists, and didn't score.
Because the Knicks disarmed too quickly in this game, the statistics of the main players are not good.
O'Neal Jr., who started the game, even scored only 9 points and 4 rebounds.
The substitutes ushered in a carnival.
Curry Sr. shot 6-of-9 from three-point range and scored 18 points.
Battlell also had 10 points and five rebounds.
And Boggs, who took the last train of the playoffs at the last moment, got 8 points and 3 assists.
After this game, the American media unanimously agreed that this year's championship can already be awarded to the Raptors in advance......
(O'Neal, Duncan: Meow meow?) )
