On the afternoon of the 24th, the Raptors flew to Boston with a 2-0 lead.

On the same day, in the G2 game of the Western Conference Finals a little later, the Lakers were beaten to pieces by the Trail Blazers.

In the original timeline, Su Feng remembered that although the Lakers had the last laugh, the biggest point difference between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers in this round of the series at that time was ......

It was played in the G2 battle.

And those who win are all pioneers.

It's just that, compared to the 33-point fiasco in his memory, the Lakers in this life lost in the G2 battle is not so "decent".

Because of the good, in the original G2 battle, O'Neal still had Kobe Bryant, who shot 2 of 9 from the field, to rely on.

But this time......

Come and take a look, take a look, and don't miss it when you pass by......

On the night of the flight to Boston, Kobe Bryant, who shot 1 of 16 in the G2 game with the Trail Blazers, and only scored 8 points from free throws, almost contracted the laughter of the entire Raptors team.

And O'Neal, who hit 5 of 20 free throws at the free throw line, made Big Ben lift his towering explosive head.

I have to say that the performance of the Trail Blazers in this G2 battle is simply a textbook fight against the Lakers.

In the whole game, including Sabonis, the "Roof of the World", the Trail Blazers had a total of 4 interior players and 6 fouls left the court.

Through fouls and hand-to-hand combat, the Trail Blazers managed to minimize O'Neal's power at Staples.

In addition, Rasheed Wallace and other forward players also used their range to torture the Lakers' defense.

Scottie Pippen had his best playoff game since the Bulls won the championship in '97/98.

In this game, in addition to limiting Kobe's scoring to 10 points or less, Pippen himself also scored 23 points and 7 rebounds.

What is clear is that Phil Jackson's team did not notice the Trail Blazers' danger level to the Lakers before the game.

And now, they need to pay the price for their underestimation of the enemy.

Because after winning the Lakers on the road, the Trail Blazers have managed to regain home-court advantage.

However, although the Lakers' game made the Raptors players feel unprecedented happiness, in the early hours of the morning, listening to the "jazz" music that suddenly played outside the hotel window......

Su Feng, who was already asleep, had a sense of déjà vu.

In the NBA playoffs, it's not a matter of a day or two that a team playing away from home will be mentally challenged by the home team's fans......

However, compared to last year, this year's Boston fans are not only more professionally organized, but they also use more advanced equipment when it comes to making noise.

So on the 25th, considering the general lack of sleep among the players, Davis had to postpone the adaptation and resumption training originally scheduled in the morning to the afternoon.

However, in the afternoon, just as the Raptors players were about to go to the stadium for training together, they were notified that the stadium was broken by Boston and they needed to go to the old stadium for training.

And in this regard, after smiling at the Celtic staff, Davis did not say much.

Because of the introduction......

He knows it well.

Get......

With his eyes closed and his feet in mind, Davis knew the Celtics were going to renovate their home floor.

……

On the 25th, after a while of shooting practice, the Raptors had to end the training early and return to the hotel because the Celtics re-provided the old arena to the Raptors because of the worrying situation.

And on the 26th, that is, the day of the G3 match of the Eastern Conference Finals, Davis simply did not wake up the players from bed one by one until the afternoon.

Playing away from home in Boston is a tough test for any team, so Davis built the mentality of his players long before the team left for Boston.

However, even if Davis had exhausted his imagination, he would never have imagined the gifts that the Bostonians had prepared for them......

It's much more than that.

On the afternoon of the 26th, after the Raptors arrived at the North Shore Garden Arena, in addition to the traditional old three, decorating the floor, tightening the net, and loosening the basket frame, in the locker room, the Raptors players were surprised to find ......

The Celts were planning not to even provide them with electricity.

Heh, electricity?

“F**K！ This water is so cold! "Before the game, I was shocked that I wanted to take a shower and go to the game again.

While just using bananas to replenish energy, Su Feng said to him calmly: "Calm down, Ben."

If you're really unbalanced, I'd suggest you think more about the Bulls in '96/97. ”

And when he heard this, don't say it, after Big Ben recalled the miserable Jordan and Pippen in his mind, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Easily pick up the Celtics?

Impossible.

With their hellish home field, God knows how many times Su Feng's beloved little brother LeBron James will cry in the future.

Therefore, after learning about Davis's layout for this round of the series, Su Feng chose to raise his hands and feet to support him almost without thinking about it.

Because, no matter how difficult it is for the Celtics to play at home, physical fitness is the biggest advantage of the Raptors on an objective level.

And on the evening of the 26th, just when D'Antoni and Rivers were confident that the Raptors had entered the door of the Finals with one foot......

In the hoarse cheers of the Boston people, the process of this G3 battle once again confirmed what Davis said at the end of the G2 battle.

In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors, who failed to fully adapt to the court, in addition to the always alert Su Feng, played normally, Nash and Maddy both made mistakes when they were directly stealing the ball.

Because in the eternal history of the NBA, no team has ever completed a comeback after falling behind 0-3, so the Celtics, who had their backs against the water, also showed their life-to-death attitude in this game.

As a result, at the end of the half, what surprised experts again was that the Celtics, who were playing at home, once led the Raptors by as many as 18 points.

Originally, at the end of the G2 battle, D'Antoni and Rivers, who thought Davis was just casually talking, were once again impressed by Davis's vision.

"And John, what are we going to do now?"

At halftime, looking at Davis, who always anticipates the enemy's opportunity, D'Antoni and Rivers asked sincerely.

And since his "Wolong" and "Phoenix Chicks" asked, Davis naturally generously and compassionately told the two of them his on-the-spot alternatives.

After halftime, in the third quarter of the game, the Raptors used three-pointers many times to close the difference between the two teams to about 10 points.

However, because the Raptors players almost didn't touch the ball in the past two days of rest, this wave of counterattacks also came to an abrupt end in the second half of the third quarter as the Raptors' hands declined.

Soon, the Celtics quickly extended their lead back to more than 15 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 69-84.

At this time, almost all of North American experts agreed that the Celtics had sealed the win of this game.

Because judging from the course of this game, the Raptors did not have any comeback point at all except for counting on a miracle.

However, if miracles always come, then miracles cannot be called miracles.

Coincidentally, on the Raptors' side, Davis already thinks that the Raptors are lost.

It's just that in the fourth quarter of the game, when noticing the five players on the Raptors, on the Celtics' bench, Auerbach, who had already begun to plan the fourth game between the two sides, almost didn't spit a mouthful of old blood in his chest on the Celtics' honor floor.

Barthal, Thomas, Su Feng, Curry Sr., Boggs.

Obviously, judging from the Raptors' five-man group, the Raptors have recognized the Celtics' victory on this night.

It's just that......

With Su Feng still on the field, just ask you if the Celtics are panicking?

Hmmm——!

Hmmm——!

As soon as the game came up in the fourth quarter, I saw Su Feng, who had scored five points in a row, swaggering to the position where he had completed the stunner in the G1 battle, and then slowly spread out his hands.

And under the boos of the audience, even if you know that Davis's move is a conspiracy......

What can Auerbach do?

With 2-0 down, there is no margin for error on the Celtic side.

Therefore, if Su Feng can really chase the score back with this broken lineup, then with the other four main players of the Raptors who are well rested at that time, can the Celtics really ensure that they win this G3 game?

To put it bluntly, Davis is playing a never-say-die game......

This is purely disgusting.

Because in fact, even if the Raptors get back the full main lineup, they may not be able to play so well with Su Feng with these four tools.

However, under Su Feng's continued deterrence, the Celtics had to bring Duncan and Artai back to the court.

And in this way, Davis's purpose was achieved.

That is, continue to give full play to Su Feng's advantages in this round of the series.

As a result, it wasn't until there were 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the fourth quarter that Davis replaced Su Feng.

Because at this time, with 19 points behind the Celtics, even Su Feng could not threaten the Celtics.

In the end, 91-107, the Celtics managed to pull one back on their home court.

In the whole game, the Raptors' starting five tigers, except for Su Feng, who scored 29 points, no one scored a double-double.

Carter came off the bench to score a team-high 18 points, while Curry Sr. scored 17 points.

On the Celtics' side, Duncan still had a solid double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds.

Marbury and Ray Allen finished with 17 points, eight assists and 19 points, respectively.

After the game, as the winning side, Auerbach's expression was even more uncomfortable than if he had lost.

As the loser, Davis smiled brightly.

'As a manager, you don't just have to see the game in front of you, you have to prepare for the next game. In the away dressing room, after the game, Davies continued to teach D'Antoni and Rivers Dao.

And after plucking up his courage, Rivers asked in a low voice, "What about John...... Are we going to prepare for this series with the intensity of seven games? ”

"Seven? No...... This round of the series is only possible to play a maximum of 6 games.

Didn't I say that before? We've won. Putting his arm on Rivers' shoulder, Davis laughed.

Hearing this, D'Antoni and Rivers have completely confused what Davis is thinking on weekdays......

Because that's not what this thing said at the end of the G2 battle!

……

On the 29th, in Boston, the Raptors ushered in the G4 game with the Celtics.

And two days before the start of this game, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 106-95 in Portland in the Western Conference Finals on the other side.

Therefore, at present, the big score of this year's East and West Finals has become 2 to 1.

In the market, the estimates of major experts in North America can be described as changing twice a day.

Because in the G3 battle, after the Celtics showed that they can also beat the Raptors, many experts who previously expected the Raptors to advance easily have begun to be optimistic that the Celtics can complete the comeback after falling behind 0-2.

Merely......

The G4 battle between the Raptors and the Celtics once again disappointed these experts.

In the first quarter of the game, the Celtics and Raptors seemed to be competing over who could give their opponents a chance.

Not only did the players of both teams make frequent mistakes, but at the same time, the baskets on both sides also enjoyed the best massage services.

And the reason for this......

In Su Feng's opinion, it should be related to the fact that the Celtics temporarily adjusted their honor floor position before this game.

Because as early as the pre-game warm-up to play the game of minesweeping, Su Feng found that the position of the honor floor of the North Shore Garden Arena was very different from the first game.

It's just that for the Raptors, such a change has almost no impact in Su Feng's opinion.

Because he wants to adapt to such a game environment in a short period of time, no one on the Raptors' side can do it except him.

Even under their own reminders, in the heat of the game, it is difficult for the Raptors players not to make mistakes.

Therefore, Su Feng didn't understand why Auerbach would make such a stupid move that was unfavorable to his side.

After all, after the temporary adjustment of the home floor's honor floor position, the same Celtic players also appeared uncomfortable.

The result......

It was on the night of the 29th that the Raptors and Celtics once played a picture that made fans want to doze off.

In this regard, although Su Feng, who has always been modest, does not know why the Celtics made such a stupid move, Davis is very clear why Auerbach temporarily adjusted the Celtics' home honor floor position.

"Last year plus this year...... They're already scared of soda. ”

After patting D'Antoni and Rivers on the shoulders from the left and right, Davis laughed.

It turns out that great players are not only able to balance the opponent on the field, but also off the field, they can always make the opponent lose sight of the other.

In the G3 battle, even the craziest Celtics fans, until Su Feng was replaced, they didn't dare to celebrate in advance.

And this is what Su Feng has accumulated bit by bit in the past two seasons......

———— Dominance!

Just like when Michael Jordan was at his peak, if a young man dared to provoke Jordan, he would be immediately replaced by the head coach.

Because he was afraid of Su Feng's performance in the G3 battle that was not affected by the Celtics' home honor floor, the Celtics sacrificed this stupid trick of killing 1,000 enemies and damaging 800 themselves in the G4 battle.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the Battle of the Cavalry, the Knights' strategy of eating and sleeping and fighting Curry against the Warriors at that time was cracked because Curry successfully defended it several times later.

Basketball games, especially the more exciting playoffs, and psychological warfare games are also key factors that can determine the outcome of the game.

And the obvious thing is......

Now Su Feng has become the demon of the Celtics.

In the first half of the game, in the melodious sound of the two teams, the Raptors led 41-38.

In the third quarter of the game, as Duncan's physical fitness gradually declined, the Celtics, who lost the guarantee of stable scoring, soon lost their initiative in the G4 battle at the same time.

In the fourth quarter, Davis' investment on the bench also paid off.

Because he has more game time than the Celtics, the old Curry, who has been in good shape, became the X-factor of the Raptors in the fourth quarter of the game.

Boom, boom, boom!

In this game, 12 of the 15 points contributed by the elder Curry were scored in the fourth quarter.

And because the two teams generally didn't feel good in this game, the Raptors had almost locked up the win after Curry Sr.'s four three-pointers.

In the end, after the Celtics tried hard to chase the points to no avail, the Raptors managed to win 94-83 on the road and get their match point in this round of the Eastern Conference finals!

Now, they are 3-1 ahead.

In the whole game, Su Feng scored a team-high 30 points, plus 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 assist.

On the Celtics side, although they fought until the last minute, Duncan, whose gas tank was about to run dry, was powerless to change the Celtics' loss even if he scored 26 points and 13 rebounds.

It's just that after the game, on the Raptors' bench, Rivers and D'Antoni felt that they were going to be played to death by Davis.

Because while the two were excitedly celebrating the Raptors getting the match point in this series, Davis said worriedly that the Raptors' next game would be difficult......

Ah no!

John, you did it on purpose, right?

Can you still let us both pat your ass?

It is worth mentioning that at the press conference, Su Feng also contributed a new term.

Because in this game, Su Feng and Old Curry's hand feeling can be called the best in the game, so Su Feng also used the sound of "splash" to describe his and Old Curry's shooting.

"Even though I've only been working with Dell for less than two years, I think he and I are the most accurate outside pairing in NBA history.

So in the future, please call us 'Splash Brothers'! While patting his good brother Curry on the shoulder, Su Feng said to the media with a smile.

As for being able to juxtapose with Su Feng's name, on this night, the young old Curry couldn't have laughed more than he happier.

But......

Where could Dell Curry have thought that Su Feng seemed to be praising him, but he was actually cheating on his son?

Scold......

Stephen, don't you think that your Uncle Su and I are such non-grudgeful people, right?

Wake up......

See, your dad and I are brothers!

So in the future, no matter what kind of Splash Brothers, Haier Brothers, and Wave Brothers you and others set up, in front of your Uncle Su, you have to call me uncle!

……

PS: After writing this chapter, I suddenly felt that Su Feng was such a dog......
