Chapter 288: Of course the chili pepper is small and spicy (overtime update, please subscribe)
For Su Feng, who only wants a championship ring at the moment, he doesn't want to make a low-level mistake like carelessness.
Therefore, the more praise this Raptors receives, the more cautious Su Feng will become.
Tonight's battle with the Celtics not only made Su Feng feel the horror of this green army that had not yet reached its full body, but also made Su Feng recognize himself again.
In the new season, with the blessing of his excellent state, coupled with the fact that Boss Qiao usually comes to help him pull hatred, Su Feng's performance in some games can only be described as "Blood Horse C".
However, in this game with the Celtics, Su Feng knew very well that if it were not for Curry and Nash, the two eight-times AWM pull, the Raptors were likely to be overturned in the third quarter of the game.
Diametrically opposed to the crooked Kobe, Su Feng, who was full of "strong offensive talent", was already difficult to be completely restricted in the game.
But.......
When the team encountered headwinds, Su Feng also couldn't lead his teammates through excellent passing and organization like Kobe Bryant.
Secondly, before the internal strength was cultivated at home, Su Feng's current hand stability in the game was still very metaphysical.
In short, Su Feng's current "strength" ......
Still not enough.
Relying on his excellent form, Su Feng has even been blown by ESPN as the league's No. 1 small forward this season.
However, as a player who may be swollen in his mouth, but always remains calm and calm in his heart, Su Feng knows very well that he is ...... now
There are still not enough classes.
"Alas, humility is what makes people progress."
After the game, Su Feng, who said in an interview that "the Raptors' opponent is only themselves", and silently loaded the Wave Cup, thought to himself with emotion when he left the North Shore Garden Arena.
……
And after winning the battle of Destiny with Duncan, the next day, the Raptors, who returned to Toronto, lost to the Heat.
Although the words Su Feng said at the end of the last game were a little too "arrogant" in the eyes of many people, don't believe it when you say it......
Actually, that's also a big truth.
With five games in six days, the Raptors can't be in great shape every game.
Therefore, Riley deliberately set Davis before the game, but before he put it on, the Heat had already led the Raptors by a large margin in this game.
In his previous life, Su Feng had seen the plot of winning all seasons in many basketballs.
One of them is called "The First Plug-in in Basketball", and after the protagonist reached his peak, he led the team to win all the seasons for N consecutive years.
But in this life, after experiencing the long season of the NBA, Su Feng felt that the brainless author named Shui Short Pretty must be writing a book with his feet.
Because it turns out that no matter how strong a team is, it is impossible to guarantee to win all the games of the season.
Oh, don't you think the Raptors are strong this season?
To be reasonable, even if all the players of this Raptors are not all at the peak, Su Feng will not doubt the hard power of this Raptors.
And don't you say Su Feng's physical fitness is bad?
This is really not Su Feng's bragging, in his eyes, compared to ball skills, maybe there will be someone in the NBA better than him,
But compared to physical fitness, he can completely let some players run a 10,000-meter run first, and then compete with them to see whose waist is better.
However, even if it is such a Raptor, the game that should be lost will still be lost in the end.
In Toronto, Riley, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally refreshed.
Anyway, for Riley, it doesn't matter how he wins the Raptors or what kind of Raptors he wins.
Importantly, the Heat won!
Damn John, have you seen this great amber knife in my hand made of thousands of grudges?
After the game, staring at the scoreboard in Toronto, Riley almost couldn't walk.
It's just that......
Just when Riley felt that he had finally taken a bad breath, he looked at the "Raptors swingers" who left the court with laughter......
He......
I'm starting to be autistic again.
In fact, why is Riley unclear about the gap between the Heat and the Raptors?
But......
Why did Heaven be so cruel to him?
Obviously, he put forward the Swing Law first.
Obviously, Su Feng and Jordan were also the first ones he liked ......
……
About the voice of the "God Operator" Riley, and I will express it later.
At the end of March, in Jordan's absence, the young Raptors lost to the Pistons and then to the Magic after losing to the Heat.
This season, Starkerhouse, who used to pick off the Bulls side by side with Su Feng, joined the Pistons as a free agent.
Although the trajectory of Stackhouse's fate in this life has changed a lot, in the face of the maximum salary call of Motor City, for the 95-year Tanhualang who finished his rookie contract, not to mention how happy he was in his heart at that time.
With Joe Dumas retiring, the Pistons were hoping to find a helper for Hill, and Stackhouse's impressive stats for the Warriors in the second half of last season made them fall in love with the Jordan junior.
As a result, with the addition of Larry Hughes, who was drafted in the draft, you don't have to say that in this game against the Raptors, the Pistons' outside line is really not lagging behind.
Before he suffered a major injury, Hill's strength was undoubted.
Hughes, who escaped Larry Brown's clutches, also showed his potential on both the offensive and defensive ends of the motor city.
As for Stackhouse, whose confidence is growing......
To be honest, looking at his group of students with emotional intelligence who are getting worse than one another, Jordan always feels that there have been such a problem in North Carolina in terms of humanities education in recent years.
I have to say that the pattern in the East this season is even worse than last season.
Because in addition to the standout Raptors, the records of the next teams such as the Celtics, Heat, Pacers, Pistons, and 76ers are all very close.
In the game against the Pistons, as the season went on, the Raptors, who were gradually declining, failed to win the drag race with the Pistons.
As another coach in Su Feng's previous life who was known for his offense, Alvin Gentry didn't follow in the footsteps of Brown and Van Gundy on this night of speed and furious.
In the Motor City, he is fast against fast.
The Pistons, who have been waiting for work, have since become the third team after the Pacers and Heat to defeat the Raptors in the 98/99 season.
In an interview after the game, Gentry also expressed his admiration for Davis.
"John's tactics have inspired me a lot, and I think the pace of basketball will be faster and faster in the future, and if you are not good at switching offense and defense, then you will probably be eliminated by the times." Gentry said at the time.
In Su Feng's previous life, when he was reborn and crossed, Gentry was still coaching in the NBA.
Although Gentry lacked "hard honors" in his coaching career, he knew how to follow the times, and he was not abandoned by the times like Brown.
And it is worth mentioning......
Unlike Gentry, who treats Davis' tactics as textbooks......
In Orlando, Chuck Daley, who once left Jordan's childhood shadow, successfully used the ferocious team defense to limit the Raptors' single-game scoring to less than 90 points, and led the team to defeat the Raptors.
As one of the legendary coaches of the NBA, the stubborn Daley is also a coach who advocates defense.
Of course, unlike Larry Brown's defensive tactics that are so strict that he can't play without a macho man, Daley is more like the kind of coach who is good at twisting ropes in Su Feng's opinion.
In the new season, with Hardaway's season reimbursement, the Magic would not have been favored.
However, under Daley's construction, the Magic has taught many teams with good cards that can only wander on the fringes of the playoffs through overall basketball.
Relying on super team execution, the Magic successfully dragged the Raptors into Daley's carefully prepared meat grinder in this game.
And although Su Feng likes this kind of real man battle very much, the young Carter and Maddie, as well as Nash and others are a little unbearable.
Rough defense has always been the exclusive label of Daley's team.
This magic is no exception.
In this game against the Magic, Carter, who wanted to perform a dunk at that time, was directly hugged by the Magic players and thrown to the floor.
And unlike the usual game, in the face of Daley's big voice, as long as it is not a particularly obvious foul, it is difficult for a Raptors player to get a whistle in this game.
No way......
The referees are human too.
In Su Feng's previous life, Daley could be regarded as one of Stern's least favorite coaches.
He likes to yell at the referee, because of his excessively high status, the referees dare not speak out most of the time.
In addition, the "malicious foul" rule introduced by the NBA that year was also aimed at the Pistons coached by Daley.
And in the new season, if there is anyone other than Brown who looks at this Raptors the most unpleasant, that person is definitely Daley.
After the game, in an interview, Daley repeatedly mentioned the famous saying that only defense can win a championship.
Clearly, Daly's implication couldn't be simpler.
That's ......
There's simply no way a team like the Raptors going to the end.
It's just that Daley, who originally just wanted to tell the world that defense is the truth, didn't know that his face after leading the team to defeat the Raptors made Stern ...... again
Blocked him.
"How did the referee blow this game? With so many malicious fouls, are they all blind? ”
In New York, watching his beloved Raptors almost grinded into meat sauce by magic, Stern looked at his assistant Mark indignantly and said.
"David, you know, Chuck is a veteran coach......"
"What about the veteran coaches? Mark, you have to remember that we are a fair, open, and just union.
We can't give Chuck the privilege of being above other teams because of his status. Stern said righteously patting Mark on the shoulder.
And I don't know why......
At this moment, Mark always felt as if there was a light on Stern's body.
"I see, David, I'll give the referees a heads-up."
Mark, who felt what was right, said to Stern with a solemn expression.
……
After the March of the 98/99 season, the Raptors still topped the league with a 25-5 record, despite a few recent defeats.
So far this season, Su Feng has averaged 24.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.
In this relatively slow pace of the era, Su Feng's data is definitely excellent.
At present, Su Feng ranks third in the scoring average list, second only to Iverson and O'Neal.
In addition, after the end of March, Su Feng averaged 48.8% shooting per game, 38.5% three-point shooting, and 88.9% free throw shooting.
If you want to ask, when did Su Feng enter the sequence of superstars......
That's about the season.
Because no matter how high the strict Su Feng is for himself, but in public opinion, people now think that Su Feng is one of the top ten players in the league.
And it is worth mentioning that because of the three defeats at the end of March, some "Boss Joe" who can't sit still already wants to end his vacation early.
In Jordan's opinion, now is the best time for him to return as king.
However, for Su Feng, who did not feel any pressure on his record, Su Feng believed that the upcoming difficult schedule in early April was the best time for the young Raptors to train.
Because whether it is a loss to the Pistons or a loss to the Magic, the Raptors are guilty of the common mistakes that most young teams make.
That is, after winning consecutive games, it is easy to lose yourself.
In fact, in competitive sports, it's better to lose early than late.
Because you lose early, you can find problems through the game.
But if these problems are not committed until the playoffs, then the Raptors will not even have a chance to make up for it.
In short, losing is not terrible, especially for a team like the Raptors with an excellent team atmosphere, Su Feng is not worried that everyone will collapse because of the loss.
But if Jordan chooses to end his vacation early at this point in time, it will put more pressure on the Raptors' young players.
Because at that time, after winning, young players who have made mistakes before will not only not be praised, but may also be branded by the media and public opinion, and the Raptors will not have the label of Jordan.
And it's even worse if you lose......
Because for those teams that have been waiting for the Raptors to make a mistake, they will be sure to say:
Well, the Raptors have begun to go high and low, and even if Jordan comes back, they can't lead them out of the losing streak.
Therefore, looking at Boss Qiao, who was eager to make a comeback, on April 1, April Fool's Day, Su Feng took the opportunity to joke with him:
"Michael, unless you can beat me 10 times in heads-up today, how about you continue to rest as planned?"
Hearing this, Jordan was immediately happy.
Because it was April Fool's Day, looking at Su Feng's arrogant expression, Jordan not only didn't get angry, but also wanted to laugh.
Scold......
Young little emperor, do you really think that I have already handed over the country to you?
Rolling up his sleeves, taking advantage of the vacation, with the help of Grover, Jordan, whose state has gradually recovered to 90 points, decided to tell Su Feng with practical actions:
Your uncle is always your uncle.
However......
Just when Jordan was about to beat Su Feng violently, Su Feng looked at the progress of the [Inheritance of God] task in his mind, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Scold......
Elderly basketball god, you don't really think that I am rare to the country you gave me, right?
Whether it's honor, or the country, I'll take it myself.
Rolling up his sleeves and looking at Jordan with an innocent face, Su Feng decided to tell the "old rascal" with practical actions:
Ginger though is old and spicy.
But the chili pepper is small spicy!
