Chapter 7: The Brutal 90s and the Unpopular Three-Point ......

For American middle school students who love basketball, the most anticipated moment of the year is probably the start of the NBA Finals.

Because...... Along with the finals, there is often a summer vacation that lasts for 3 months.

Evil capitalism!

Thinking of the only two-week vacation he had when he was in his third year of high school in his previous life, Su Feng couldn't help but secretly wipe a handful of tears.

Because of the previous "gunfight incident at school", this time the school specially arranged a final exam for Su Feng that belonged to him.

The final exams of American high schools are far less rigorous than those in China, but they are more flexible, of course, all of this is not a problem for Su Feng, after all, he is a scholar, and when he goes abroad, he is also a scholar......

"Alas, if you don't play well, you can only speculate in stocks and become the richest man......" Su Feng thought to himself with emotion.

Of course, that kind of life was definitely not what Su Feng wanted.

Because in Su Feng's opinion, since he has obtained a system that can help him realize his dream of the NBA in this life, and he has encountered a humanoid plug-in like Kobe, what reason does he have not to play?

And unlike others, after this time of rebirth and living outside, Su Feng believes that there must be an invisible hand in the dark that controls his fate.

If he didn't play, Su Feng was afraid that he might suddenly die like the supporting characters in the infinite stream novels......

Therefore, entering the NBA, becoming a basketball star, and marrying Bai Fumei have become Su Feng's firm goals.

……

On the 7th, it was the day of the start of the G1 game of the 93/94 NBA Finals, and according to the previous agreement with Kobe, Su Feng appeared on time at the venue where he and Kobe usually practiced.

"By the way, why hasn't anyone else come to this field except us?" Su Feng asked curiously.

"Hmph, because this is my territory." Kobe raised the corners of his mouth proudly, that look, not to mention how spirited.

"If I hadn't been preparing for exams for some time, how could you have played on my turf that day." Bryant added.

Looking at Kobe's expression, Su Feng probably guessed the truth.......

That is, it is estimated that no one in this neighborhood can beat Kobe.......

And with Kobe's strength to not admit defeat, if you can't do it one-on-one, you will play with him for a day, so ...... If you can't afford to provoke it, can't others hide?

You know, in the United States, the most important thing is the basketball court.......

Because of the reason why he secretly observed Kobe's house last time, Su Feng knew that Kobe's house was not very far from this court, so Su Feng felt that he and Kobe Bryant were really destined.

……

At this time in 94, because Kobe Bryant has not yet known Vanessa, he naturally has not fallen out with his family, and the Bryant family can probably be regarded as a father and son......

Bryant's father's name is Joe Bryant, a former NBA player, of course, the more street-fighting kind......

When Kobe Bryant was a child, in order to support his family, Joe ran to Italy, and as a result, he was stunned by the fans at the time, because Joe's style of play was gorgeous, especially with one hand shooting and leaning back, which was quite handsome......

Later, after returning to the United States, in Kobe's freshman year of high school, Joe also worked as Kobe's coach, Emmmmm, and then there was no more......

In the future, many people say that Kobe Bryant is imitating Jordan, but in fact...... His handsome shooting is absolutely inseparable from his father's words and deeds.

"Hehe, is this the 'Philadelphia Heroes' that Kobe Bryant has been talking to me about lately?" As soon as Su Feng followed Kobe into the house, Kobe's father Qiao happily walked over to Su Feng and Kobe.

It can be seen that Joe is still happier that his son has finally made friends, after all, no parent wants to see their children isolated by other children all the time......

When he saw Qiao walking towards him and Kobe, Su Feng felt that his eyes suddenly darkened, because Joe's height was as high as 207 cm, and for the current Kobe and Su Feng, he was an out-and-out little giant.

"Well, the height is about the same as Kobe, the arm span is also good, the hip and waist circumference are also good, and the muscles are a little less, but the skeleton is good......" After hugging Kobe, when hugging Su Feng, Qiao commented while holding his hands on Su Feng......

Su Feng: "......"

The American people are really hospitable, but Su Feng always felt that something was weird......

Oh yes!

Su Feng remembered that when he brought a female ticket home in his previous life, the seven aunts and eight aunts often came to say: This girl has a good ass and can give birth to a son......

"Come on, boys, the TV is ready, and Pamela has a delicate snack for you."

Qiao laughed and took Kobe and Su Feng to the living room, and just as Su Feng was about to sit down, Qiao suddenly said, "Of course, as athletes, you are forbidden to drink Coke." ”

While speaking, Joe also opened a can of Coca-Cola in front of Su Feng and Kobe.

Su Feng, Kobe: "......"

Actually, Su Feng and Kobe Bryant didn't have the idea of drinking Coke, but ......

Su Feng suddenly felt that Kobe Bryant's withdrawn personality was probably not for nothing.

"Sue, which side are you more optimistic about?"

On the TV, the commentators had already started their routine preview before the finals began, and at this time, Kobe Bryant looked at Su Feng curiously and asked.

"Mosaic." Su Feng replied.

"Why? Don't you think this year's Knicks are very champion-looking? Kobe Bryant was puzzled, because Kobe originally thought that Su Feng and himself would think that the Knicks could win the championship......

"Because I think Hakim is better than Patrick, and although Hakim and Patrick have won and lost each other, in reality, Hakim has always had the upper hand in a duel with Patrick." Su Feng explained.

"But the Knicks still have Starks, Oakley, Davis......" Kobe Bryant seemed a little unconvinced, and read out a list of Knicks star names.

Su Feng shook his head with a smile on his face, "You're right, Kobe, judging from the overall configuration, the Knicks are indeed stronger, and Mosaic is at a disadvantage." ”

Hearing Su Feng's softness, Kobe Bryant raised the corners of his mouth proudly, but he didn't expect Su Feng to continue: "But I still think that the small gap between Hakim and Patrick will determine the direction of this series." ”

Because of Jordan's retirement, the NBA attention in the 93/94 season has dropped a lot, but if you don't take any subjective evaluation, this season's NBA Finals can be called a classic.

First of all, the two warring sides, the Knicks have an 85-year-old No. 1 pick, one of the four centers Gorilla Ewing, and Mosaic, who also has an 84-year-old No. 1 pick, the first of the four centers, Olajuwon.

Before the start of the game, from the perspective of the lineups of both sides, the configuration of the Knicks was indeed more advantageous, but for Su Feng, who knew the results of this round of the series, Su Feng knew very well that on the surface, the Knicks' better configuration would not take much advantage in this round of the series......

First of all, from the shooting guard position, it looks like the Knicks have the nickname Maniac, excellent defense, and star John Starks, who has a three-point hand.

In the 93/94 season, Starks averaged 19 points per game, and was selected as an All-Star and All-Defensive Second Team.

But on the Mosaic side, there is Fron Maxwell who can play against Starks.

It seems that Starks is a star player, Maxwell is just an ordinary starter, and even in Su Feng's previous life, many keyboard warriors who know Maxwell are called "big guys" by their peers, but if they are not famous, it does not mean that they have no strength.

As the absolute hero of Mosaic's two-game winning streak, Maxwell can attack and defend well, and in this series, it will be difficult for Starks, who is similar in stature to Maxwell, to take advantage of Maxwell, because Maxwell is the kind of player who is a sub-player......

Unless you're an old rascal or have a two-handed skill, you'll have to be pulled by him to 55......

As for Oakley, as Kobe Bryant's mention, as the Knicks' "old hooligan", Emmmmm, this person is a real "old hooligan", without any praise, pure derogatory......

Oakley's style of play is known for its dirty, which, of course, seems to many Predators, and they blow it into brutality and blood......

In short, Oakley's goods are good for dealing with others, dealing with big dreams?

No kidding, the big dream of this period, but even a shark that looks down on the world will give way to the existence of three points......

And the Knicks have Oakley, and the Mosaics also have Robert Horry.

If you look at this series from a metaphysical point of view, then Horry is definitely the number one contributor to Mosaic......

Because Su Feng, who knows the future, knows very well that Horry is simply one of the strongest causal weapons in the NBA......

In the NBA, with Horry...... You have a 43.75% chance of winning the championship.

With a 16-year career and 7 championships, Horry's luck is understood by friends who have watched the NBA.

Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, the Knicks only seem to have an advantage, but they are actually 55 open with Mosaic......

And in the case that the lineups of the two teams are similar and the strength is also similar, Big Dream will dominate this round of the series.

In Su Feng's previous life, when the first 4 battles between the two sides were 2-2, the Knicks successfully captured Tianwang Mountain, and the situation was very good.

However, in G6, in the final seconds of the game, Olajuwon made a decision that changed the trajectory of his fate.

At that time, the Knicks, who had the ball and had a chance to kill the series, passed the ball to Starks in the final moments......

As a result, Big Dream suddenly gave up on Ewing's opposing defense and went straight to Starks, who got a three-point chance on the periphery.

After the game, Olajuwon explained this, "They are just as hungry for a championship as we are, and as long as they shoot that goal (referring to Starks' three-pointer), they will be champions, so I firmly believe that John [Starks] will definitely make a shot." ”

The choice of the big dream changed history.

Starks did exactly as he expected.

This time, Olajuwon didn't watch the title slip away from him as he did in college.

Olajuwon touched Starks' stunner, and Starks missed, and the mosaic crossed the death line thrillingly, making the overall score of the two teams 3-3.

As a result, in the seventh game, affected by the unsuccessful G6 battle, Starks was in no state, and he shot 0 of 11 three-pointers in the whole game, "helping" the Mosaic team to win the championship in one go.

Looking back at this round of the finals, Big Dream can be said to have really carried the whole team on his shoulders, no matter which end of the offense and defense, you can see Olajuwon's figure, and on the other hand, Ewing may be in response to people's words......

It's just a breath away!

So this is also the reason why Su Feng thinks that the slight gap between Olajuwon and Ewing will determine the direction of this series.

It's just that Kobe Bryant didn't buy Su Feng's explanation very much, and Su Feng, who was familiar with Kobe's character, didn't continue to argue with Kobe......

But Kobe's father, Joe, thought Su Feng was a very interesting child.

……

"It's too bloody......" As the finals of the 93/94 season began, Su Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's too brutal......" At this moment, Kobe Bryant and Su Feng reached an agreement.

The NBA Finals in the 93/94 season will be known by many as the "Bloody Finals" in the future, because none of the seven-game series has scored more than 100 points, and the highest score in a single game is 93 points......

In addition to the melodious sound of the two teams' players, the wrestling-like hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was even more tragic......

"Sure enough, it's right to practice dry pulling......" Looking at the picture on TV, Su Feng swore that before the Hand.Check rules became No.Hand.Check, there would definitely be no presence for him in the inner line......

It is impossible to break through, you can only rely on dry pulling and striking iron to barely maintain your life, and those who can dry pull speak well, Su Fengchao likes dry pulling......

As we all know, the reason for the high defensive intensity of the NBA during this period is inseparable from the Hand.Check rule.

The simple rule is that you can put your hands on the offensive player while defending, which makes it impossible for the outside player to play without three or two shots.

Because your breakthrough will be greatly limited by the defender, for example, under the Hand.Check rule, the offensive player will be twice as difficult to break through as the No.Hand.Check rule......

Why did Boss Joe practice shooting hard in the middle and late stages of his career, and practiced a hand-shot shot and a flip back to the back?

That's because shooting is the least affected outside offense by the Hand.Check rule.

After all, if you throw the ball, pull it out, and flip it, your opponent often doesn't even have time to get your hands on it.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people thought that the reason why everyone didn't like to vote for 3 points in the 90s was because of the Hand.Check rule......

In fact, this is a misleading statement.

In fact, in the near future, after the NBA shortens the three-point line, do you see the teams in the league shooting three-pointers?

You know, during that time, even Boss Qiao had a good time......

To put it bluntly, during this period, the 3-point shot was a new rule that had just been introduced by the league, and everyone was very resistant to the three-point shot.

In the case of Larry Bird, even Bird himself was not very fond of the three-point shot, because the players at the time thought that the three-point shot was just showing off their skills.

Just like if the NBA adds four points tomorrow, it will certainly take a while for a lot of teams to adjust to the new rules.

Even until Su Feng won the championship for the first time in his previous life, many experts thought before the game that the team that could only shoot would not go far.

Therefore, the main reason why everyone didn't like to vote for three points in the 90s is the difference in the concept of the times, just like you travel back in time to tell your friends in the 90s that in the future, you can go out without money, just with your mobile phone, and he will think that you are a psychopath......

At this time, people are far less receptive to new things than humans in the Internet age in the future.

Either way, of course, the Hand.Check rule was an absolute outside player killer during this period......

"People in the 90s...... It's brutal! Su Feng sighed.
