Chapter 227: The Battle of the Mandate of Heaven! (5100 words big chapter, ask for subscription, monthly pass.) )
"[Duncan's Three Joke Kings]:
Since you beat Michael Jordan, more and more young players have started to look at you as a role model.
Tim Duncan, a young player from the Celtics, is trying to challenge you, how would you choose to respond to him?
Option 1: [Sink it], you don't like to beep a lot and decide to use your strength to speak.
Requirements: Successfully dunk Duncan once in the next game.
Quest Complete Reward: Unknown.
Note: "Pop Dunk" does not count.
Quest 2: [Grace and Grace], as a senior who is good at promoting juniors, you have decided to treat others "kindly" like Michael Jordan.
Mission: Lead the team to defeat the Celtics and say "The future is yours" to Duncan after the game.
Quest Complete Reward: Unknown.
Note: Different mission options will trigger different "Lifetime Missions", please choose them properly. ”
One thing to say, when he saw the three big words "sink", Su Feng almost clicked with a slippery hand.
It's just that......
When he noticed that "Meteor Slam Dunk" was not a dunk, Su Feng wanted to send an exclamation mark to the system.
He Su Feng, with his ability to smash the basket, why is it not a slam dunk?
That's it, for the sake of the fact that the medium system has always been set reasonably, Su Feng won't bother with it in the slightest.
But......
Different quest choices will trigger different "Lifetime Quests......
This setting reminded Su Feng of the [Hit to the Service] task when he was looking for Maddie to fight heads-up.
In Su Feng's mind, since it was a two-way choice, then, in a literal sense, [Sinking] should be a task that would reduce Duncan's favorability towards himself.
And [Enwei and Shi] is obviously more in line with Su Feng's predecessor character.
Well......
Well!
He Su Feng definitely wanted to choose task 2 because he felt that it was too difficult to block Duncan, who was still super athletic.
He was simply because he wanted to give back the poisoned milk that Mutombo had said to himself last year to Duncan, the author of the sentence.
You know, "The future is yours" is simply the NBA's version of "Fellow Daoists, please stay".
Don't think that there are Einstein and Newton in reality, and there is no metaphysics in real life......
Because in the field of sports, it is not once or twice that the coffin board of science cannot be pressed.
Therefore, on the way back to the locker room, Su Feng decisively chose task 2.
And then......
Stark House, who was walking side by side with Su Feng, was sinned.
I saw Su Feng, who had just drunk a sip of sports drink, directly sprayed the drink on Starkhouse's face.
Stackhouse: "......"
"It has been detected that the host has selected [Envy].
Ding————!
Destiny War has been triggered!
[Destiny War]: Ambitious you are looking to gradually dominate the NBA while improving your strength.
And as the 'pride of the sky' of the Celtics, how can Tim Duncan let you get your wish?
The host's [Rival Bond] with Duncan has been automatically activated, and the host's iron value will be automatically doubled when they encounter Duncan's team in the future.
[Destiny Battle] 5 Win Reward: A Golden Destiny Gift Pack.
10 Win Reward: ......
15 wins reward ......"
I don't know why, after carefully reading the setting of [Destiny Battle], Su Feng felt that he could no longer look directly at Duncan.
Because even Duncan was one of his favorite stars in his previous life......
But in Su Feng's eyes at this moment, Duncan is like Ultraman's favorite monster, cat's favorite fish, and Garnett's favorite chest-beating......
If Su Feng's fighting spirit was one hundred and two percent before, then his current fighting spirit can't be pulled even if it is pulled by nine dragons.
And at halftime, looking at Su Feng, who was huddled in the locker room with his teammates, his eyes seemed to be breathing fire, Brown confirmed!
Su Feng is really that kind of competition-type player!
Don't look at his usual "hanging" and "always late", but as soon as he arrives on the field, he will immediately pay full attention.
Yes! Hateful John Davis!
Brown swore to God that if he had the chance in the future, he would kick Davis in the ass.
You said, if you could guide Su Feng earlier, wouldn't Su Feng be the most perfect tool man in his Brown's mind?
……
After halftime, in the second half of the game, the 76ers and the Celtics changed sides again.
In terms of the game scene, the scene of this game can be described as quite ugly......
In Su Feng's previous life, as long as it was a team coached by Brown, the game scene would never be good-looking.
Unlike Van Gundy, who at least has a "clear offensive direction", Brown's achievements on the offensive end are definitely negative.
But it's strange to say, the disciples taught by this thing are more like to play offensive basketball than the other.
In the third quarter of the game, after the physical fitness of both teams gradually declined, the Celtics fans at the North Shore Garden Arena were almost asleep.
Just as a dead woolly bear is a good hairy bear, the NBA in the 90s is worth nostalgia for, but NBA officials don't want to see defensive basketball come back to life.
And as the game deepened, Su Feng gradually snatched back the limelight that was snatched away by Duncan.
Because of his ubiquitous figure at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Brown even forgot about replacing him to rest......
Easy to use and durable, although after gaining weight in the summer, Su Feng's physical load is greater, but because the pace of the game tonight is relatively slow, Su Feng's physical fitness is very well preserved.
The Celtics deliberately wanted to speed up in the second half of the third quarter in order to catch up with the score, but ......
Hong Kong, in the third quarter of the game, when he saw Brown pushing his glasses up again and again, Auerbach really wanted to throw him a leather shoe.
Well, in terms of torturing opponents, Brown was undoubtedly successful tonight.
If you only look at the defense, this 76ers' defense is no worse than the future Pistons.
"Teacher......" On the Celtics' bench, seeing that the score difference on the field was getting bigger and bigger, Karl looked at Auerbach for help.
"Son, calm down, you're the head coach of this team." After patting Karl on the back, Auerbach said.
Auerbach knew very well that Karl was in a hurry because everyone really wanted the Celtics to make a comeback.
However, in the face of an opponent like 76, it is useless for you to be in a hurry.
That's the ruthless side of the NBA.
The result of the game, the outcome of the game, will not change or be shaken by certain ideas.
Auerbach, who hopes that Karl can be his successor in the future, patiently analyzes the situation on the field for Karl.
Auerbach, who has seen countless big scenes, knows that this Celtic team still needs time to grow.
Before the start of the new season, in fact, the Green Army is very eager to replace Karl, the tool man head coach.
After all, Celtic's worst record in team history last season needs someone to take the blame.
However, Auerbach managed to keep Karl in charge.
Because from Karl, Auerbach also saw his potential to become a generation of famous coaches.
That's ......
Obedient plus good at learning.
A coach who listens to other people's advice, Auerbach knows that he can't mix too badly.
Therefore, on the one hand, Auerbach is not in a hurry to make up for it, in order to give Stern face, and on the other hand, it is also to use half a season for Duncan and Carl to grow.
Beating is always the best way to grow.
In the fourth quarter of the game, watching Duncan, whose smile gradually faded and was a little suffocated, Auerbach took the initiative to sit next to Duncan after educating Karl.
"Tim...... Do you hate failure? Auerbach laughed.
Duncan nodded nondeniably.
"But basketball is like our lives, and sometimes, you have to admit that you're not as good as others." Auerbach said meaningfully to Duncan.
'Of course, there's still one quarter to go and we have plenty of time to chase points.
So, if you hate failure, prove it to me, Tim.
It may be quite unpleasant to fail despite your efforts, but only by remembering this feeling can you truly understand that victory is not easy to come by.
Last season, after the 76ers eliminated the Bulls, many people thought that they were giving assists to other teams by eliminating the Bulls.
Some even laughed at them, saying, if you can't win the championship, then why bother to beat the bulls?
But how do those who say this know that there is never a victory that is meaningless.
Because if you can't make it to the end, then if you don't work hard to go, then how do you know that you can't make it to the end? ”
On the Celtics bench, after pressing Duncan's shoulder, Auerbach suddenly stood up and pointed his right hand at the North Shore Garden Dome......
Those sixteen championship flags.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.
As Tomjanovic said, never underestimate the heart of a champion.
The winner may be the loser tomorrow, and the loser, who says that tomorrow cannot be the winner?
Recalling Auerbach's words, the 21-year-old Duncan, the depression in his chest completely disappeared.
And in its place is ......
That thumping champion's heart.
It's just that just when Duncan was ready to play a big game in the fourth quarter, Auerbach held him back again.
"Don't be in a hurry, rest for a while." Auerbach laughed.
Duncan, who is a father and a mother on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends tonight, is not a small consumption, and Auerbach does not want Duncan to play only a few seasons under his own hands.
"I'm definitely going to replace you, Tim, because I hate to fail, too.
However, before you go up, you will come and observe Xia Su with me. Auerbach looked at Su Feng, who was still not resting in the fourth quarter, and said to Duncan.
And although he still wanted to go up and play the game, Duncan began to focus on Su Feng after taking three deep breaths.
"Remember his every move, Tim." Auerbach reminded.
Duncan nodded.
After a while, Auerbach asked Duncan, "Do you remember what Sue did when he was on the defensive?" ”
Duncan pondered for a moment and replied, "He managed to defend us from the outside. ”
"He's just slid a total of 14 steps, and every step was incredibly precise." After a pause, Duncan added.
Hearing Duncan's answer, Auerbach first smiled, and then said:
"Far more than that, just now we had a quick attack, but Sue was standing in a high position and pressed David.
Then, he quickly returned to his defender and completed a rather beautiful defense.
Finally, he also assisted the interior to protect the rebound. ”
"This 76ers team doesn't have an advantage in absolute height, and most people only see the number of rebounds in Theo and Ben, but forget about Sue's contribution to the team's rebounding."
After touching his chin for a moment to ponder Auerbach's intentions, Duncan said to the Cardinal, "I think I understand." ”
Looking at Duncan with a serious face, Auerbach nodded, "Then do what you want, Tim." ”
"Hmm!"
……
In the fourth quarter of the game, when Su Feng was happily playing with the substitutes, with 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Duncan returned to the court on the Celtics' side.
71-60, which was the score when Duncan returned to the court.
And five minutes later, 76-71, it was the score when Larry Brown called out the timeout.
Defensive, offensive, defensive, offensive.
Duncan, who was woken up by Auerbach, was very different from the game in the third quarter.
Because, he found that the 76ers' offense is not difficult to defend.
As long as Celtic play steady and stand on defense, they still have a chance to catch up in this game.
Duncan, who debuted as a second-tier defender, used his terrible ability to help defend and become the most solid backing for every Celtics player.
And with the defense as a guarantee, even if the Celtics can't score once or twice, they can patiently wait for the third offensive opportunity.
The 76ers have missed their best chance to pull the score.
It's a pity that neither Snow nor McGee dare to go against Brown's tactics and have to say NO to speeding up.
In Su Feng's previous life, Brown's gameplay was the biggest flaw.
If you can't torture your opponent, then in the terminology of soldiers:
It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord.
As long as the defense doesn't counterattack, then even if you can really prevent the opponent from breathless, the 76ers can't build a bigger lead in one go.
For a team like the 76ers that lacks offensive points, if they don't play fast, where does the mess come from to hammer the "old hooligans"?
Su Feng's hand can't always be guaranteed, he and Iverson are about to throw 45 times together tonight, and the 76ers tonight in addition to them, the most points are Ratliff, who scored 8 points.
In contrast, the Celtics' most eye-catching one is Duncan, but they do score more points than the 76ers.
On the 76ers' bench, I listened to Brown repeatedly emphasizing defense, defense, and ...... Su Feng can be regarded as understanding why Brown was hacked more than Van Gundy in his previous life.
Isn't this thing full of things like Paly, whips, and candles?
Wake up, people Celts are not shaking M, who will lie down and play with you these shameful performance arts?
To be reasonable, if this game is overturned by the Celtics, then Su Feng can really retire as a truck driver.
At the end of the timeout, Su Feng decided not to give Brown face.
In order to avoid being overturned, Su Feng doesn't care if he deviates or not?
I saw him pull Latliff and Big Ben to whisper a few words, so and so and so
On the court, the 76ers had the ball, and Snow pressed the ball past half court and handed the ball to Iverson.
Duncan, who has completely figured out the 76ers' offensive routine, is happy, because in Duncan's opinion, if it weren't for Snow's obsessive-compulsive disorder......
Nalari Brown is definitely a Virgo.
Hey, don't tell me, Duncan guessed right.
Because Larry Brown ...... It's Virgo!
So Snow's distribution of the ball is very regular under his usual tutelage.
And such a pattern is not difficult to find, after all, the 76ers have only two main points of attack.
Smack——!
On the court, after figuring out the offensive rules of the 76ers, Duncan's next defense is much simpler.
Hey, there's only a "183" here who is suffering from heat stroke, why don't you take him to the conference room to rest?
On the court, Duncan brushed another hat.
In Su Feng's previous life, did he really think that Iverson liked to be a lone hero?
This ball, at the moment when he completed the breakthrough, on the other side of the Celtics, Su Feng was tightly entangled by Fox, and Iverson didn't dare to pass the ball to others, so he could only choose to be reckless.
To put it bluntly, Deng Dudu, after Auerbach's order, he was already out of the house like Su Feng.
It was the Celtics' turn to attack, and Duncan scored his 22nd point of the night.
It's another grandfather's hook.
76-73, the North Shore Garden Arena, which was originally beaten by the 76ers in the third quarter, suddenly boiled.
The Green Army fans in the entire arena were chanting "Tim, Tim", and on the court, just as Snow was about to take the baseline serve step by step, he suddenly ...... The basketball flew over his head.
Snow, who looked confused, was a little confused, because with his height and bounce, how could he catch Ratliff's baseline serve?
However, before Snow could question, on the court, Su Feng had already dribbled through the halfcourt.
Su Feng, who had a dribbling ability value of 71, wanted to dribble the ball through the half court, and it was not difficult for him to speed up the ball directly from the backcourt and push Fox behind the side.
The Celtics' defense was obviously messed up this time, and Su Feng, who rushed up, took advantage of the situation to kill all the way to the free throw line, and suddenly pulled out a small half of the basket.
On the bench of the 76ers, Brown was suffocated by Su Feng's offense......
Because from receiving the ball in the backcourt to completing the attack, Su Feng only took a few seconds to complete the shot this time.
Hmmm——!
78 to 73.
Su Feng, who ended the scoring drought for the 76ers, breathed a sigh of relief.
On the field, after scoring a goal, he was holding the collar of his jersey, and he looked as cool as he could.
And looking back, after Wesley hit a key three-pointer for the Celtics, on the 76ers' side, Latlif once again quickly sent out a baseline shot.
This time it was Iverson who caught the ball, and the "answer" suddenly threw the ball to the outside after a dragon hit the inside.
Outside the three-point line, Su Feng fired directly without making adjustments after receiving the ball.
Hmmm——!
81 to 76.
Great Heavenly Dynasty TV, Sun Zhengping said with emotion: "Su Feng tonight is like death descending. ”
Two Answer.Balls in a Row...... On the bench of the 76ers, Brown, who saw Su Feng scoring 5 points in a row, frowned slightly.
Because in his opinion...... This kind of rush is just too risky.
Poor John Davis......
Even if he is no longer in the 76ers, in Brown's heart, he has been hacked to death by Brown countless times......
