Chapter 170: The Biggest "Rumor" in History (Guaranteed 10,000-word Update Brought to Ask for a Monthly Pass Subscription!) )
As Su Feng expected at halftime, it seemed to be a ferocious counterattack for a full quarter in the third quarter, but it was actually not behind Downs......
On this night, the wolves of Minnesota, like Erhana who had just finished demolishing their house, gave up their resistance to their master's angry rubbing of their dogs' heads.
Finally, in the freezing weather of Minnesota, the team's losing streak was stopped.
Smith couldn't make his second three-pointer of the game until the end.
However, considering that he was not blown up by Marbury when he came off the bench, Su Feng still gave him a high score of 10 points after the game.
Remember, Kenny, I'm giving you 10 points now!
If you dare to give me 9 points if I participate in the slam dunk contest in the future, then I won't have to do it with my friends.
You know, Su Feng doesn't have to rely on 9 points to make money, isn't the purpose of his desperate play to prevent himself from becoming that kind of boring person?
Iverson scored 30 points, plus 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Su Feng shot 7 of 17, including 1 of 4 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals, and was the number one contributor to the 76ers' victory in this game.
Garnett was really tired.
This "little wolf king" really didn't even have the strength to do push-ups after the game......
In this game, Garnett and Su Feng's data are almost identical.
In the third quarter, he gradually lost his crosshairs, shooting 7-of-17 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal.
The reason why Garnett didn't get a double-double rebound was because Su Feng kept pulling him on the outside.
On this night, Garnett, who could only watch his teammates being bullied and never be able to punch hard, what else could he do except lift the 800-pound hammer and smash it into his chest?
This night, he was like the fathead fish in Los Angeles, strong, lonely, brutal but helpless.
Marbury's performance was also affected by his teammates, and in this game, the young social teenager only scored 17 points and 6 assists, and was suppressed by Iverson in terms of statistics.
And after this game with the Timberwolves, after the game, the fans' desire to let "Ai Feng" win the best rookie together is getting louder and louder.
Poor Marbury was once again crossed out by the people.
However, it is worth mentioning that the more the fans appealed like this, the more "naughty" Stern became.
Because in a recent interview, Stern said that the league's awards have always been "fair, open and impartial."
Many Philadelphia fans regard Stern's remarks as the league's desire not to let "Ai Feng" win the best rookie together, and want to leave some regrets for the "golden double guns......
As a result, more and more Philadelphia fans began to write and call the league, and they strongly protested the NBA's "discrimination" against Su Feng because he was a Chinese player.
In other words, when he saw these reports before, Su Feng was really not euthanized by this group of fans in the United States.
Big brothers, isn't your reading comprehension different from mine......
Su Feng believes that as long as the 76ers can make the playoffs this year, then Stern will definitely send the best rookie to himself and Iverson together.
Because if Stern "discriminates" against himself, will he still let himself win the All-Star Game MVP with Jordan?
The more he says "fair, open, and just", the more it means that he is going to start engaging in black-box operations.
In fact, as long as you know Stern, then you will know that in addition to liking to "dismantle the team" and suppress the dynasty team, he is also a little old man who especially likes to play the "Qiong Yao Terrier" of "Broken Mirror Reunion" and "People Are Hard to Dismantle".
In Su Feng's previous life, in 09, in order to reconcile OK, Stern asked O'Neal and Kobe to jointly lift the All-Star Game MVP trophy at that time.
And in 1993, Malone and Stockton shared the All-Star Game MVP.
And the best rookie that Kidd shares with Hill.
In short, if Stern misses the gimmick of "Hero Rabbit of the Flower Planter" and "Civilian Eagle of the Rice Grain Family", then he is not David Stern, but Adam Xiaohua.
"Hmm...... It seems that I have to practice my strength again in the summer, and the inside line of the NBA is worth a drill! ”
After the game, looking at the nearly two and a half dozen iron values he had obtained, Su Feng thought to himself silently.
For the sake of the team's victory, Su Feng is no longer the same person he used to be.
Now he is willing to carry the team's forward line defense, including the power forward position!
But then again, when it came to a certain unit of measurement, Su Feng was both excited and ......
It's a little uncomfortable.
The reason for his discomfort is that after playing the Timberwolves, the 76ers must fly to Chicago immediately to prepare to challenge the Bulls.
For the 76ers, who have just ended their losing streak, the difficulty of this back-to-back game can be imagined.
As for the reason for the excitement and excitement......
That's naturally because Su Feng "misses" Qiao Pi and the others.
Su Feng, who formed a "deep friendship" with Jordan at the All-Star Game, has been very concerned about Pippen's senior recently.
Like what:
Have you been annoyed by the recent reports that my defense is better than yours, how did you feel after Rodman's return, and did you pay back the $200,000 owed to Ewing and Uncle Mu......
Don't be surprised, as a young player who "respects the old and loves the young", Su Feng has always cared about the daily life and mental health of his predecessors.
……
The back-to-back games with the Bulls were difficult to play, but on the 14th, after the team flew to Chicago for a night of rest, Iverson and others were in better shape than Su Feng imagined because of clocking out of work in the third quarter of Minnesota.
If Su Feng remembers correctly, in his previous life, in the next game against the Bulls, Iverson will once again prove to the world:
He, Allen Iverson, is the nemesis of this Bulls.
In Su Feng's previous life, if it weren't for Pi Erye's savior in this game, the bull would have really been killed by Iverson.
You know, Iverson scored 37 points in the middle of the game, turning the Bulls' inside and outside lines upside down.
No, just like the last time the 76ers defeated the Bulls, this Bulls, the best weapon in the face of the 76ers, instead became a "self-detonating truck".
Because the Bulls are swinging small and speeding up, isn't that exactly what the 76ers are doing?
Full-court pressing can restrain many teams, but it can't restrain an attacker like Iverson.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Boss Joe hopes that the 76ers can sit firmly in seventh place in the East.
After all, in this era, there are only five games in the first round of the playoffs, and if Jordan is not careful, the Bulls may really be dragged into a tough battle by the 76ers.
That's where the most interesting thing about the Colosseum is that the 76ers have their own opponents they don't like to play, and the Bulls have teams they don't want to meet in advance.
To put it bluntly, if the Bulls had a choice, Jordan would have kicked Rodman away a long time ago......
In Su Feng's previous life, there were always people who boasted about how powerful the Bulls' bench was, but in fact, when playing the 76ers, you ask the Zen master if he dared to let Steve Cordo stay on the court for a while.
and the men of Longley and the chiefs.
And when it comes to the Bulls' lineup, we have to mention the biggest rumor in the NBA in Su Feng's previous life, that is: Jordan's salary is not included in the Bulls' salary.
In Su Feng's previous life, there were many versions of this rumor, and the most awesome version was blown by the first generation of Qiao Blows:
Because the NBA is almost over, the owners of all the teams in the league have pleaded with Jordan to come back, and also promised that after his comeback, his salary will not be counted in the salary risk.
Wake up, where did the NBA get so many good guys?
Feelings: Everyone teamed up to help you make a dynasty for the bull?
If nothing else, just the likes of Auerbach and Popovich, do you think they would say yes?
Believe it or not, the team owner dared to say yes, they dared to send the team owner to a mental hospital the next day.
In fact, there is only one truth.
That is, Jordan's salary has always been included in the Bulls' salary, and this season, the Bulls' total salary is as high as $58 million!
It's not difficult to debunk this rumor, first of all, check Jordan's career salary and you'll understand.
This season, Jordan, who came back to play half a season, has a salary of $3.85 million.
And in the Bulls' '96 season, Jordan's salary was still $3.85 million.
So here's the problem.
In the event that the Bulls play a losing championship, do you think other teams would be kind enough to propose to the league not to include Jordan's salary in the salary cap as a way to help the Bulls keep the championship roster and hammer themselves?
It is possible for a team to shake M, is it possible that the other 28 NBA teams are shake M, and I wish Jordan hammered himself to death?
You must know that Jordan got an annual salary of "30 million +" in the last three consecutive seasons, that is, in the last two seasons, regarding Jordan's contract renewal in the last three consecutive years, because of the previous mention, so I will not press the table for the time being.
You only need to know that the salary system in this era is completely different from the future, and you can understand why the Bulls were able to sign Jordan for 30 million.
Before the season's collective bargaining, there was no such thing as a luxury tax or salary cap in the NBA.
In the absence of luxury tax and salary caps, bird rights can play its formidable role in this day and age.
There is no luxury tax, there is no salary cap, you can simply understand that as long as Lane Sdorf is willing, he wants to give Jordan 50 million, it is his own business.
Because there are no restrictions, Birdright can help the Bulls complete a cap extension regardless of salary.
Behind Jordan's "30 million +" annual salary, in fact, in addition to the brain-dead behavior of Bulls owner Lane Storf who did not accept Jordan's proposal for a 2-year 50 million contract extension, there is also a big reason for the pressure from James Dolan.
Because when Jordan negotiated with the Bulls, Dolan made an offer of 27 million annual salary to Jordan to recruit Jordan to New York.
Of course, because the Knicks' lineup was too luxurious at that time, the offer that Dolan made to Jordan was actually an offer consisting of an annual salary of 12 million + a commercial endorsement contract of 15 million.
Before the NBA had a salary system, you couldn't judge many contracts in the '90s by looking at the future.
Otherwise, Glenn Robinson signed a super big contract in his rookie season, wouldn't Robinson's salary be included in the Bucks' salary?
Ewing will receive a salary of 20 million US dollars next season, doesn't Ewing's salary be included in the Knicks' salary?
If Jordan's salary really doesn't count into the Bulls' salary cap, then Jordan will really kick Rodman away.
Because you deduct Jordan's salary, and then deduct Rodman's $9 million, the Bulls have every room to sign a super center.
In Su Feng's previous life, after many Qiao Blowers blew this rumor, coupled with the misleading of some marketing accounts, many people believed in this rumor.
But in reality, the Bulls' lineup for the last three is far more scummy than you might think.
Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, these three, no one can play without the Bulls.
So during the season, Jordan will once again show the emotional intelligence he borrowed from God and will pay back later.
He first threatened the team with a contract extension with Phil Jackson, then resolved Rodman's conflict with the team, and then blocked the Bulls' proposed trade for Pippen for Maddy.
And it is precisely for this reason that the Zen master will give every Bulls player a tactical manual on the first day of the team's training camp during the season, and the manual reads:
“The
Last
Dance”。
Literal translation in Chinese: The Last Dance.
So, that's why it's generally believed that the bulls in the first three are stronger, but the bulls in the last three are greater.
Because the bulls in the last three companies can even make you forget Jordan's terrible character and Rodman's dirty private life...... Go and cheer for the Bulls' victory.
Of course, in this life, because of Su Feng's appearance, the trajectory of history has already quietly deviated from its track......
……
On the 14th, when the 76ers came to the United Center again, now, no one dares to underestimate them.
After most of the season, the name of the Philadelphia gang has long been feared by the nation.
How much those "championship teams" love the 76ers, then how much do "pseudo-strong teams" like the Bulls, Knicks, SuperSonics, and Jazz hate them.
It is worth mentioning that before the start of this game, Jordan repeatedly told Rodman to put away those small actions that should not be there.
Because NBC has temporarily adjusted its broadcast schedule, the Bulls' home game against the 76ers will be broadcast live to most of North America.
Jordan, who finally got back on track, didn't want the Bulls to fall into a public opinion crisis again because of Rodman.
"Pretending" also means "pretending" the style of predecessors, and it is the great Michael Jordan who is talking about people.
You may not believe it, but if it weren't for the fact that the Bulls lost two more games in this life, which led to the possibility that they would be robbed of the top spot in the league by the Jazz, Jordan really wanted to give the 76ers one game.
After all, letting the 76ers go to the seventh place in the East to help the Bulls grind down the Heat, in the eyes of the "old hooligans", this is the most beneficial playoff matchup for the Bulls.
Rules? Outcome?
For the strong, Michael Jordan has only the championship in his eyes.
This season, during Pippen's absence, in order to compete for the top spot in the league and ensure that the Bulls can get a favorable game in the playoffs, even if he played 27 irons in the previous game against the Spurs, and in the second game against the Magic, Jordan still made 25 shots.
Since they are all "old hooligans", what is the small section in Jordan's opinion?
At the United Center, as the 76ers and Bulls warmed up, under the watchful eyes of more than 20,000 Chicago fans at the scene, the big screen gave the two teams the starters tonight.
Bulls: Longley, Rodman, Pippen, Jordan, Harper.
76ers: Ratliff, Big Ben, Su Feng, Harris, Iverson.
When Longley and Latliff started the game with a jump ball in the center circle, the whole arena reached a climax in an instant.
The 76ers, who only managed to slaughter the wolves in Minnesota yesterday, jumped off the team's first offense by Ratliff.
Iverson, who kept the gutter head, walked through the half with his brisk pace.
And unlike the previous mutual pitfalls, neither Jordan nor Pippen had any intention of joking about the two rookies of the 76ers tonight.
Harper played against Iverson, the defensive expert gritted his teeth and looked at the "183" in front of him, inexplicably, before Iverson began to break through, Harper felt a little pain in his ankle......
On the flanks, what is more uncomfortable than Harper is Pi Erye.
Because in order to give Pippen the motivation to hammer himself to death (in fact, it was to consume Pippen one step closer), Su Feng asked about Pippen's debt with concern before the start of the game.
Thereupon......
At this moment, perhaps the better situation in the center of this Bulls formation is Boss Qiao, who won 13,000 US dollars last night.
Don't ask, ask is the god of basketball and played by people.
Recently, the Bulls have won consecutive games, don't you allow Jordan to have some fun off the court?
Iverson's attack broke through Harper's defense without covering.
Longley was too slow to save, so he had to let Iverson take a jumper before the free-throw line.
Hmmm——!
2 to 0!
Kenny Smith's refueling effect has become more and more obvious, and this "answer" is regaining his style at the beginning of the season!
Although before the game, Su Feng expected that the situation of this game would be ninety-two, but now, it seems that the situation has become eighty-two.
When retreating, Su Feng and Iverson bumped fists and said, "Allen, do you know why I'm less and less afraid of this bull now?" ”
Iverson shook his head, puzzled.
Because, we have the "answer"! Su Feng said with a smile.
Bang, bang!
After elbowing Su Feng's waist twice, on the field, Iverson's motivation increased again!
It was the Bulls' turn to attack, looking at the defensive posture set up by the 76ers, Jordan, who was entangled by Su Feng, waved his hand to his teammates, and he was empty again......
Seeing this scene, the "Zen master" calmly nodded to Harper on the field, willfulness is the privilege given to Jordan by the "Zen master".
Triangle offense?
As long as Jordan was willing, the "Zen Master" didn't mind letting him go alone all night.
On the court, the defenses that made Hardaway uncomfortable were like a piece of tissue paper in front of Jordan at the moment.
Jordan in the last three companies, even if it is body hair, has his own feints.
Look, boy, basketball, that's how it is played.
After shaking off Su Feng in a dashing manner, Jordan completed a picturesque jump shot.
Wow——!
Jordan: "......"
No......
F**K, the frame is poisonous, isn't it?
Big Ben protected the rebound, and the 76ers immediately launched a transition offense.
Well......
The most abrasive thing about the 76ers is that once they successfully defend it, they will run away with you like crazy.
The double from the "Golden Double Gun" was fast, Su Feng cut into the hinterland of the bull with lightning and lightning without the emperor's momentum, and Iverson's pass was just there, and in desperation, Pippen had to use a foul to "hug" Su Feng directly.
Tonight's second master is still conscientious.
In Su Feng's previous life, this season's Pippen was definitely one of the best seasons of his career.
It's a pity that in this life, because of Su Feng's appearance, this season has become one of the seasons that Pippen doesn't want to remember in the future.
Especially when I think of the words that Su Feng said to himself before the game, "If you don't have money for Patrick and Deacon Bay, I can lend you, I have a lot of money......
Pippen really wanted to kick Rodman to death.
Pippen was bitter in his heart, and Pippen didn't want to say it......
