Chapter 302: Think about what John will do (Second Update, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!) )
On June 1, the G2 match between the Raptors and the Celtics continued at the Canadian Route Center Arena.
Because of the basketball fever caused by the Raptors, in the playoffs, there are games with and without the Raptors, and there has been a stark contrast in ratings.
So, at the regular meeting of the alliance on the 31st, in order to end his bitter career in Africa as soon as possible, the "joke" from the overall situation decisively proposed to Stern that he should find a way to let the Raptors play more games.
As a result, the proposal of "joke" was directly rejected by Stern.
In the 00/01 season, the Lakers had been winning in the playoffs at the time, and then they were not won by the 76ers until the finals.
At that time, because of Iverson's never-give-up fighting spirit, that round of the finals successfully attracted a lot of attention.
But even so, Stern didn't force a full seven games in that round of the finals.
Because Stern knows better than anyone that the manipulation of the script must be appropriate.
No matter how tempting the benefits are, they are only temporary.
Right now, it doesn't matter how much the Raptors win or how little they win.
The important thing is that if an offensive team like the Raptors can win a championship, it will inevitably cause other teams to follow suit.
Stern, who has been at the helm of the NBA for many years, has long seen through the minds of this group of iron slaves.
To put it bluntly, the NBA is a real league.
Most coaches will still copy the homework they should copy, even if they mix it up.
So, in Stern's view, instead of thinking about how many games the Raptors will play with the Celtics, it is better to think about how the league will work after the Raptors and Lakers reach the Finals.
On the 31st, after the Lakers scored another game, they had already pushed a corner of the Finals door to the Trail Blazers 2-0.
Now, the high school students who were beaten by Raul Melien back then can finally hold their heads high.
Because although they were beaten badly by the Suko couple in the early years, you think about it the other way......
Is it humiliating to lose to two players who are about to meet in the Finals in the third season of their careers?
Of course, although the outside world is very much expecting the Raptors and Lakers to have a showdown in the Finals to decide who is the boss of Raul Merion.......
But for the steady Su Feng, everything is still unknown before the Celtics are crushed.
In the second game between the Raptors and the Celtics, Auerbach made adjustments to the team's starting lineup.
During the regular season, Damon Jones, the "No. 1 scorer in the universe" who was traded to Boston by the team, replaced Bowen and appeared in the Celtics' starting list.
Unlike coaches who are hell-bent on killing the Raptors, Auerbach, who has studied the Raptors quite thoroughly, knows very well that if they want to beat the Raptors, the Celtics will have to work more on offense.
As a non-draft player, in Su Feng's previous life, Damon Jones was in the rabbit house, and he was even more famous than some ordinary stars.
Because if you only look at the advertisements shot by Li Ning, you will definitely think that this product is a superstar.
Then, James was miserable.
Because in the future, when many people think that the Cavaliers in the early years lack super shooters, someone will always stand up and make up for this:
Cavaliers short of pitchers? Man Damon Jones one can play two!
But......
In fact, Damon Jones averaged only 6.6 points per game in his career, except for a record of 10+ in a single season during the Heat period, this is an excellent bench in the NBA.
In this game, Auerbach sent Jones, who almost made up almost three points in his career, and his intention was very obvious.
That is, the "Cardinals" know that if they can't liberate Ray Allen, then the Celtics will not be able to make a comeback in this series with the Raptors.
It's just that......
In the first quarter of the game, after playing half a quarter, Auerbach found that he was also guilty of being in a hurry.
Because Bowen couldn't prevent Su Feng from returning to Su Feng in the first game, but Bowen had a whole game with Su Feng throughout the whole game.
In Bowen's absence, on the Celtic side, only Ray Allen is left who can oppose Su Feng.
Then, before Jones could use a three-pointer to help the Celtics take a step closer to open up space, Ray Allen, who had to be opposite Su Feng at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends......
He had already been tortured by Su Feng to death.
In terms of style, Su Feng's type of player is simply a heavenly Aaron.
On the court, touching his suddenly swollen chest muscles, the ghost knows how many times Lei Allen cursed Su Feng in his heart this night.
No kidding!
With an assassin like Lei Allen, how could Su Feng give him the slightest chance to prove himself?
It seems that Su Feng has crushed Lei Allen in all aspects since the first game, but in fact, in order to prevent Lei Allen, Su Feng has paid a lot of price.
Because if the threat level of the opponent is ranked with a difficulty of 2K, then the threat level of Lei Allen's "gentleman's sword" is definitely a hall of fame in Su Feng's heart.
In Su Feng's previous life, Ray Allen was not only the all-time three-point king of the NBA before he crossed over, scoring 2,973 three-pointers, but also in the playoffs, Ray Allen's career playoff three-point shooting rate was also as high as more than 4%.
Ray Allen, who has a big heart, would be a disaster for the Raptors if he was liberated in this series.
Therefore, in order to protect his teammates and his own smiles, he Su Feng did not torture Lei Allen to death, what is the difference between that and stabbing himself twice with a sword?
It's a pity......
Just when Su Feng was about to take a step closer to increase his efforts to "augment" Ray Allen's "breast augmentation", Auerbach, who knew his mistakes and corrected his mistakes, quickly brought Bowen back up.
And so it was, Jones, the "No. 1 scorer in the universe," lightly walked away without hitting a single three-pointer......
And the route center arena, unlike the first game, if the first game was a back-and-forth fight between Duncan and Su Feng, then this game has become a battle for the name of Tracy's younger brother.
Like Su Feng, Maddie, who is good at dry pulling, can only be explained by quantum mechanics in terms of his hit rate.
In this game, in the face of Marbury, who was a lot shorter than himself, Maddie, who had a good hand, decisively applied to Boss Su and Boss Joe for unlimited firing rights.
In the time and space of Su Feng's last life, there were always many people who thought that Maddie lacked the desire to win, but you must know that in Maddie's playoff career, this product has played 30+ 4 times and 25+ twice.
If he didn't want to win, Maddie couldn't have fought so hard.
This season, don't look at Maddie's hard work, but in his heart, he is also very eager to get cheers like his cousin.
In the case of Maddie's excellent hand, in the second game, Su Feng and Jordan also showed their "generous" side.
As a result, in the center of the route, Lei Allen, who had just been liberated from the heavy responsibility of defending Su Feng, quickly received new instructions from Auerbach:
Ray, come on!
Go help Stephen!
On the court, Marbury, who was beaten through by Maddie with his face, had already exploded in his mentality.
Because like Su Feng, once Maddie's dry pull is accurate, then this product is also the kind of unreasonable existence.
And on the basketball court, the most annoying thing is precisely this kind of offense.
"Teacher, in my opinion, the Raptors team has nothing unique at all except for singles." On the Celtics bench, an angry Karl said to Auerbach.
On the side, Auerbach patted Karl on the shoulder and said, "Miller, do you think this Raptors team is not a team at all?" ”
Carl nodded.
"But you know what, Miller, in my opinion, this Raptors are far more of a team than we are." Auerbach said to Karl.
Hearing this, Carlton was stunned.
"It looks like the Raptors players are fighting their own games in this game, but in reality, each of them is well aware of their responsibilities.
Miller, think about it, why haven't we been able to solve the Raptors' singles until now in this series? Auerbach then asked.
And after carefully thinking back to the progress of the first game and the picture of this game so far, Karl felt that his back had been breaking out in a cold sweat.
Because at Auerbach's reminder, Karl soon discovered an unacceptable fact.
That is:
When the Raptors formed a single, the Celtics simply couldn't effectively limit the Raptors.
"Miller, if you want to surpass John in the future......
From now on, you'll have to carefully study every tactic John has and spend twice as much time thinking about why he did it. Patting Miller on the shoulder, Auerbach said to him.
Think about what John would have done?
On the sidelines, after taking a deep breath, Millercar began to take out his small notebook and carefully study every tactical detail of the Raptors on the court.
On the other side, on the bench of the Raptors, Davis, who felt that he didn't have any role in this game, felt a little sleepy......
……
In the end, relying on Maddy's excellent performance and the continuous output of the second lineup, the Raptors won another game and rewrote the score of this round of Eastern Conference finals to 2-0.
In this game, the score of the whole game was 99-113.
Maddy scored a Raptors-high 27 points, while Su Feng combined with Boss Joe for 48 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists.
On the Celtics side, Duncan's form is still excellent, and in the game, Deng Tou, Jr., who has stabilized the situation for the Celtics many times, scored a game-high 29 points, plus 17 rebounds, 3 blocks, 4 assists and 2 steals.
However, even if Duncan single-handedly blew Big Ben, the Celtics couldn't change the fact that they couldn't play against the Raptors on the outside.
But fortunately, on the Boston side, the "renovation" work of the North Shore Garden Arena has been completed.
For the old and spicy Auerbach, like his disciple Bird, he is also the kind of person who will not give up lightly until everything is closed.
And on the team's way back to Boston, Karl, who was thinking about "what John would do", came up with more and more details about the two games when reviewing the first two games of the two teams.
In this life, Millercar, whose fate trajectory has also been rewritten, although he has been living in Auerbach's infancy, but looking at his aging teacher, he who wants to share the pressure on his mentor happens to be the kind of coach who is willing to learn and change.
And for the coaching position, a coach like Miller who is willing to learn and change is generally not too bad.
According to the schedule, the G3 match between the two teams will start on the 3rd.
The shortened season is not only the regular season schedule compressed, but even the playoff schedule is shorter than in previous years.
In Su Feng's previous life, many naïve fans thought that as long as a team's lineup was thick enough, physical fitness should not be an excuse for these teams.
But in reality, in the regular season, even the Raptors can't escape the sanction from physical fitness.
Because like that kind of devil back-to-back, it doesn't just affect the main players?
You know, a long journey can sometimes be even more tiring than playing a game.
Because in a situation like this, when you need to fly thousands of kilometers in three days, many substitute players can't even sleep well, and you say that when you are playing, how can they guarantee 100% investment?
And after playing in the playoffs, for the sake of insurance, increasing the playing time of the main players is a consensus that many teams will reach.
Take the cavalry battle in Su Feng's memory.
Every time it comes to the playoffs, the two riders are in their respective halfs, and they are eager to beat other opponents quickly.
Because for a team that aims to win the championship, if you can't ensure that your physical fitness is on the healthy line, then your road to winning the championship will never be smooth.
And on the 2nd, after the Lakers rewrote the score of the Western Conference Final to 3-0 in Portland, now, the pressure has come to the Raptors' side.
Su Feng knows very well that five games is his bottom line for this round of the East Finals.
Because if the Raptors can't solve the big problem of the Celtics as soon as possible, then in the Finals, the Lakers will be the more physically superior side.
It's just that......
On the 3rd, when the Raptors players walked into the North Shore Garden Arena for a warm-up, although they couldn't say what was different from the past, everyone always felt that this arena was weird.
For example, during shooting training, Big Ben found that the trajectory of the basketball frame was completely different from when he usually played.
And when running tactics, Raptors players who want to practice fast baseline shots also found that the Nets at the Celtics' home court are not ordinary tight ......
While waiting for the basketball to fall from the net, some anxious players even wanted to go up and tear the net apart.
In addition, when dribbling forward, many players have found that the basketball often can't bounce back after hitting the floor.
And for the above, Su Feng and Davis, the master and apprentice, will never be strangers.
Because back then, when they were fighting bulls, they learned ......
Isn't it the Celtics?
As the so-called basketball game is made, there are countless details.
And in this, every detail may affect the final course of the game.
Loosening the rim allows the basketball to bounce closer to you after hitting the frame.
In this way, the Celtics, who have a higher height advantage, are likely to grab a few more rebounds.
Stepping up the nets can allow the basketball to delay a few tenths of a second more when the net is shabu-shabu.
In this way, the Celtics can complete the retreat more calmly.
As for adding the "floor of honor" at the Celtics' home stadium......
That's so that a singles team like the Raptors can't play as much as they want.
What is home field advantage?
That's home field advantage.
During the warm-up, Su Feng, who found that almost half of the Celtics' home floor was full of traps, knew it very well......
If you are a little careless in the next game......
It's not out of the question that the Raptors will be dragged to Game 7 by this Celtics team.
And as an elderly AC Milan fan, in this world, there is no one more disgusted with being overturned than Su Feng.
So, under Su Feng's hint, Davis found that his talent was finally proven again.
Before the start of this G3 game, looking at the group of players who kept complaining about the Celtics' home court, Davis gave this and this order to all the Raptors with his hands in his arms and a smile......
