In the first round of the playoffs, the Raptors finally eliminated the Pistons with a score of 3-1.

In four games, Starkerhouse, the Pistons' leading scorer, was defended by Su Feng as an "iron block".

On the 22nd, in the G1 battle between the two teams, Starkerhouse made only 7 of 29 shots in the whole game, hitting 22 irons.

On the 25th, in the G2 battle between the two teams, although Stackhouse only made 19 shots, in this game, none of his first 12 shots hit.

On the 28th, in the G3 battle between the two sides, Stackhouse's hand warmed up.

But its performance on 8-of-21 shooting ......

made the fans at the Pistons' home court feel like their eardrums were about to be broken by him.

And on the 30th, even if the fans at the Pistons' home court were eager to see through, they couldn't wait for the moment when Starkerhouse "came down to earth......

In the end, Stackhouse, who was possessed by the "iron block", ended his journey in the first round of this year's playoffs with an "excellent" performance of 5-of-22.

It is worth mentioning.

In this series, the only game the Pistons won was by Hardaway, who was nearly "crippled" in both legs, to blow up Nash, and Joe Smith to shoot Barkley's mentality.

Of course......

There is also a small loss, which is almost negligible, because Su Feng was infected by Stark House in the G3 battle.

TNT TV.

When Kenny Smith was commentating on the G3 game between the Raptors and Pistons, there was a moment when he felt as if he was back in the '96/97 season......

You know, he hadn't retired at that time.

And then, on every sunny Philadelphia afternoon, Smith's favorite thing to do was to bet his teammates on how much iron Su Feng and Starkerhouse could play in a round of bullfighting.

Fortunately, unlike Starkerhouse, who touched the switch of the gods, it was only a very small probability event......

In the other three games in the first round of the playoffs, Su Feng was still the same Su Feng that Raptors fans were familiar with most of the time.

In the first round of the playoffs, Su Feng averaged 35.5 points per game, plus 8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3 steals, and 1.5 blocks.

In addition, he shot 46.5 percent from the field, 45 percent from three-point range, and 90 percent from the free throw line.

Compared with the previous two seasons, in the first round of the playoffs this year, not only Su Feng's playing time has been extended to an average of 48 minutes per game, but also the average points per game of the Raptors in the first round of the playoffs this year have also decreased.

On the one hand, this decline is due to the absence of O'Neal Jr. and Carter, and the Raptors are not giving their opponents as much offensive pressure as before.

On the other hand, the 00/01 season was the first season in the NBA to remove the HC rule.

As a result, in order to maintain the intensity of the playoffs, the referees have relaxed their penalty scale during the playoffs.

In Su Feng's previous life, encouraging offense in the regular season and defense in the playoffs was one of Stern's basic governing philosophies.

And the upside of that is that fans will be able to enjoy offensive performances in the regular season and in the playoffs.

Of course, the disadvantages are not without it.

That is, it undoubtedly greatly increases the risk of injury to the stars in the playoffs.

After the first round of the playoffs, the Raptors, like Nash, Barkley, Curry Sr. and others all suffered minor injuries of varying degrees.

However, in the first round of this year's playoffs, the Raptors are already one of the luckiest teams.

In the other three sets of playoff matches in the first round of the Eastern Conference, the Celtics defeated the Bucks 3-0, and Philadelphia beat the Pacers 3-1.

Although the sad Nets eliminated the Heat 3-2, Francis and Van Horn have bid farewell to the season early due to injury.

As a result, it was not easy to kill in front of the Celtics, but Pierce, who had always been hard-mouthed, was about to cry.

Because with his teammates falling one by one......

He's still going to take his head to capture the North Shore Garden Arena?

According to the schedule, the next Eastern Conference semifinals will be Celtics vs. Nets, Raptors vs. Philadelphia.

And on the other side, to the west.

Perhaps because he was too excited about his wedding to Vanessa, Kobe Bryant also sprained his ankle in the first round of the playoffs against the Kings.

And I don't know if O'Neal, Kidd, Jones and others have the intention to embarrass Kobe......

Anyway, Staples, after watching the games in Kobe's absence, they always feel that the Lakers seem to be playing more fluently......

In the end, the Lakers easily eliminated the Kings with only Peja and Webb with a score of 3-0.

According to the Lakers' team doctor's report, Kobe Bryant will return in the Western Conference semifinals.

In the other three groups of imperial city PK in the West, the Jazz eliminated the Timberwolves 3-0.

The Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers 3-2.

The Suns also beat the Spurs 3-2.

No matter how brave Garnett is, he can't break through the iron-blooded encirclement composed of Ma Long, Kirilenko and others.

And the Trail Blazers, who were shot out of the Western Conference semifinals by Nowitzki with a desperate three-pointer at the last moment of the G5 game, were even more aggrieved......

Because at that time, the young driver was in the Rose Garden Arena, and the position of shooting the pioneer was exactly what Su Feng remembered......

In his previous life, Roy lore Mosaic's position.

Fortunately, Trail Blazers fans haven't seen the games ahead.

So the most they can do is complain that the calf's life is better than theirs.

As for the Suns vs. Spurs series......

All right......

In this life, when Bowen is more well-behaved, Carter will most likely be able to avoid Bowen's black feet.

But his cousin wasn't so lucky.

Because it may be that Popovich really has a grudge against the Suns, anyway, after this round of the series, Maddie has followed in the footsteps of Hill and knocked out GG in advance.

In the end, relying on the strong play of Lewis and Marion, the two young forwards, the Suns snatched a ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals from the Spurs.

And now, the knight who is waiting for work is very happy.

Originally, an elderly team like the Jazz was afraid that the Suns would rush up and fight them.

But now......

Without Hill and without Maddie, the Suns can't rely on Fisher to rush this Jazz team, right?

According to the schedule, the next two sets of matchups in the Western Conference semifinals are:

Lakers vs. Mavericks, Jazz vs. Suns.

In the original 00/01 season, if Su Feng remembers correctly, the Raptors seemed to be facing the Philadelphia gangs in the division semifinals.

In fact, before the game known as the Battle of the Century, the most exciting game in the playoffs that year was the battle between Iverson and Carter in the division semifinals.

Therefore......

Although history has long deviated from its original trajectory, in the dark, Su Feng and Iverson, the best outside partners in the former league......

But under various coincidences, they led their respective teams to meet in this year's Eastern Conference semifinals.

I have to say, because of this thing, sometimes it's really wonderful.

According to the playoff schedule, the Eastern Conference semifinals G1 match between the Raptors and Philadelphia will start at 9 p.m. local time in Toronto on May 6.

And because the two teams have a variety of origins, this match has become the most watched round of this year's divisional semi-finals before the game.

On the Internet, some Raptors fans complained that Su Feng was proving his scoring ability this year......

Judging from the schedule of the Raptors' first game against the Pistons and the second game against Philadelphia, this is completely a test of Su Feng's defensive ability as a DPOY.

And some fans joked that this half of the Eastern Raptors this year is a civil war between the top three scorers in the league in terms of points per game.

In addition, considering that Su Feng, Iverson, and Starkerhouse had hacked the Bulls' eight ...... together that year

Therefore, this year's group of PK also has the nickname of "who is the fiercest one who played Jordan the most".

Of course, for the majority of Chinese fans, the meeting between Yao Ming and Su Feng in the Eastern Conference semifinals is the topic they are most interested in.

And New York ......

Although the Raptors-Philadelphia series hasn't started yet, Stern has already smelled the damn scent.

Hiss ————!

Jie is the fragrance of the ratings explosion!

It is the scent of money!

On May 2, all major North American broadcasters announced that they would broadcast the Raptors-Philadelphia series live across the United States.

And CCTV, for the first time, will bring commentary to Chinese fans in front of the semifinals of the playoffs.

Under the high attention of all parties, ESPN even boldly predicted that this round of the series between the Raptors and Philadelphia will become the most watched round of overseas matches in the history of the four major North American sports leagues.

On the 3rd, the Philadelphia gang, led by Carlyle, arrived in Toronto two days ahead of schedule.

Because they knew the reason why Davis liked to play off-the-court tricks, this time the Philadelphia uniform team simply chartered the most luxurious local hotel in Toronto.

Before the game, in an interview, Carlisle also said that he would not underestimate the Raptors because they had key players absent on the Raptors' side.

In addition, Carlisle joked in a half-joking tone at the time: "In my opinion, this Raptors team is very similar to the Bulls in terms of roster structure.

So, since the Bulls in the 96/97 season can't stop Allen......

Then I'm sure Aaron will shine in the next series. ”

Toronto, the Raptors.

After Su Feng and Davis saw Carlisle's interview, the pair of masters and apprentices who had a tacit understanding immediately smiled bitterly.

Because......

They were well aware of what Carlyle was expounding......

It is the unsolvable problem that has been plaguing Su Feng and Davis for the past few days.

In Su Feng's previous life, many Ai Hei always liked to use Duhe and no championship to black Iverson.

But in fact, in the long history of the NBA, players with a similar height to Iverson can shoot like him, just leading the team to the Finals......

In the future, before Su Feng crosses, even Chris Paul can't do it.

Take Su Feng's understanding of Iverson as an example.

To effectively limit Iverson, you have to meet two conditions.

One is to have other players on the outside who can keep up, and the other is that you have to have a tall inside barrier in your box that can effectively limit the success rate of the breaker.

But for now......

Unless Su Feng, who is 201 cm tall in shoes, can shrink to 191 cm, and Big Ben can suddenly grow taller overnight like what is written in a fantasy basketball......

Otherwise, where would the Raptors find such two immortal characters?

And once the Raptors can't contain Iverson in the game, then judging from the cooperation of Iverson and Yao Ming and other teammates this season, he can easily lead the entire Philadelphia offensive team in the game.

Therefore, at this moment, the dilemma faced by the Raptors is when the Bulls beat them......

The dilemma faced.

Originally, if O'Neal Jr. could stay healthy, the Raptors would at least have one more player on the interior who could take care of Iverson.

In addition, Carter can also take advantage of Snow and Christie's inability to care about him and Su Feng to offset the scoring and assists brought by Iverson on the offensive end.

Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, Carlisle is joking with reporters......

This goods are clearly telling Davis and himself......

He knows where the Raptors' weaknesses are, and he knows where the Philadelphia team is right now.

And he wasn't going to hide it.

Because, in his opinion......

Iverson is the problem that the Raptors can't solve.

"Coach, although it is a bit frustrating to say this, but if I were a judge this year, then I would definitely vote for Rick in the selection of best coach." On this day, looking at Davis, Su Feng smiled bitterly.

At this time, after patting Su Feng on the shoulder, Davis said, "Su, to tell you the truth, if I were a judge, then I would definitely vote for Rick." ”

In a trance, I don't know why......

Anyway, Su Feng and Davis miss Larry Brown a lot.

But......

Although Carlisle's impotent Raptors couldn't crack it, Su Feng and Davis didn't fall for the conspiracy he was hiding in this conspiracy.

Because, on the surface, Carlisle is jokingly conveying to Su Feng and Davis that he has seen through this Raptor.

But actually......

This thing is trying to hit the confidence of the Raptors in this way.

Look, what is called playing tactics with a dirty heart?

Whenever you think you're already on the fifth floor, someone else is already in the atmosphere.

It is true that in the tactical part of this Eastern Conference semifinals, the Raptors are destined to lose to Philadelphia because of the restraint of the lineup......

But in basketball, tactics are just one of the factors that determine the direction of the game.

On the 4th and 5th, in the team training before the start of the semifinals, the Raptors players clearly felt the fighting spirit that had begun to burn in Su Feng.

At this time, looking at Su Feng's serious face, on the training ground, Barkley also sighed.

Because if Barkley can be a few years younger, then he really wants to follow Su Feng to see what kind of great things Su Feng can achieve in the future.

……

May 6, Toronto, Route Center Arena.

As a former Philadelphia home DJ, Martin looked at his pre-written draft and prepared to follow it to kick off tonight's entrance ceremony for both warring sides......

He's really, really......

I never dreamed of that summer of 1997.

It was summer for the Philadelphia Gemini.

It was summer for all Pennsylvanns.

In the 90s, when the Chicago Bulls were dominant, Su Feng and Iverson teamed up to fire the first shot of the league's rebellion against the Bulls.

So, on this night, Martin decided to make an exception for the away players.

In the middle of the court, Iverson, wearing the No. 3 Philadelphia jersey, was about to step onto the court......

I saw the live DJ Martin chanting in his very magnetic voice:

"He's a proud son from the Hamptons!

He is a four-time NBA All-Star!

He's the Philadelphia answer that pierced the night sky of Chicago!

His name, from Pennsylvania to Toronto, is known to everyone, to everyone!

He is......

Allen —————— Iverson! ”

In front of the television, when the Philadelphia fans heard the long-lost introduction, no one knew how many people burst into tears at this moment.

And on the court, after being stunned and stunned, Iverson also looked at the Raptors' half.

Look, the Chinese teenager who still needs to teach dribbling on his own......

Now he is a famous god of the north.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what the most romantic fairy tale you've ever heard in your life.

But for me, the most romantic thing in the world was that on April 25, 1997, a teenager from China jumped on the technical desk of the United Center.

Then he told the world that he was going to beat Michael Jordan!

My God, do you know what I wanted to say most in that moment?

That's ......

Michael jordan!

Now, please let us give our 23rd with the warmest applause!

He is our 'phenomenon'!

He is a two-time NBA regular season MVP winner!

and a two-time NBA Finals MVP winner!

Go to TMD for a while! What are the honors of all the honors he has created?

Rejoice! Toronto!

Use all your strength to make his name tremble! Resounding outside the world!

He is......

Su —————— Feng! ”

Turtle tortoise!

On the court, on the Raptors' side, when preparing to play, Su Feng was almost half scared to death.

Because even the well-informed man hadn't seen this battle tonight......

"This Martin, it can't be a drug addict, right? Playing so hi? At this moment, Su Feng thought to himself silently.

And in front of the TV......

Who knows how many Philadelphia fans have fainted from crying?

At the scene, with the end of the appearance ceremony of the two teams, the big screen has given the starting list of the two teams tonight.

Philadelphia: Yao Ming, Ratliffe, Christie, Iverson, Snow.

Raptors: Big Ben, Barkley, Jackson, Su Feng, Nash.

And it is worth mentioning that in the center of the court, just before the two teams started the game......

On the side of the Philadelphia bandits, Yao Ming suddenly walked to the technical desk.

At this time, in front of the technical desk, the staff thought that the giant from the East was planning to smear some more magnesium powder.

But who would have thought that the next second would ......

Yao......

I turned over the technical desk in public!

With a height of 226 points, he is as majestic as a mountain at this moment, plus the height of the technical table.

Then, after rolling the magazine in his hand out of nowhere, into a microphone shape......

Xiao Yao, who was only 20 years old, successively recited in Chinese and English:

"I'm going to defeat Su Feng————!"

Su Feng: "......."

No blowing, no black......

In the time and space he is in now, such a Yao Ming is definitely something that Su Feng has never seen before.

At the Toronto Route Center Arena, watching this scene suddenly appeared on the field, nearly 20,000 fans at the scene were also stunned.

"Good fellows! Back then, Su Feng said that he was going to defeat Jordan, and now, Yao Ming also said that he was going to defeat Su Feng! CCTV, Director Zhang said excitedly.

This is the completely different spirit that Su Feng brought to Chinese basketball!

That is, we will either be the strongest or we will play the strongest! On the side, Su Junyang also echoed emotionally.

"Cool, that's so cool, Seth, I'm going to do that when I play in the NBA in the future!" On the Raptors' bench, Stephen Curry said excitedly.

And I don't know why......

James, who sat not far from Curry......

Suddenly, I also wanted to wait for him to enter the NBA in the future, so I did it once......

……

PS: Originally, according to the original plan, this chapter should be Chapter 425, because April 25th corresponds to Su Feng's famous scene on April 25, 1997. However, due to physical reasons, some of the later chapters are too short, resulting in more chapters in plain white, so ...... I'm short, I confess!

5400 words second more to bring! Continue to kneel and beg for a base monthly pass, recommended ticket, and subscription!
