23rd.

The Raptors, who only showed a wave of "yin language" in New Jersey last night, returned to Toronto to suffer their second defeat since the start of the new season.

It turns out that even the strongest teams struggle to survive back-to-back fixtures.

And it is worth mentioning that it is still ...... that defeated the Raptors this time

———— walkers.

Bird, who has been waiting for his leisure, has once again demonstrated his art of coaching.

In Toronto, the Pacers, who were playing on the road, first fielded a duo of Antonio Davis and Dale Davis.

It wasn't until the second quarter of the game that Bird, who deliberately showed weakness, replaced Schmitz and Mullin, two veterans.

Relying on multi-point blossoming, the Pacers quickly built a nearly 10-point lead by the end of the half.

And in the second half of the game, just when the world thought that the Pacers would fight the Raptors hand-to-hand through positional battles......

Bird did the opposite.

He sent Harington, a substitute wonder, to join Rose, Best and others in a life-and-death drag race with the Raptors at the Canadian Route Center.

Due to the physical limitations of three battles in three days, on this night, even with a tough and tenacious steel core like Su Feng, the Raptors were a little unbearable.

So, in the third quarter of the game, after the Pacers gradually opened the score, in the fourth quarter of the game, on the Raptors' side, John Davis decisively closed the game.

In the shortened season, even if the Raptors win more, there is no point in them, so in Davis's view, the Raptors do not need to pay some unnecessary costs for some games that can be lost.

And just like that, the Pacers completed the season double against the Raptors.

For a while, Larry Bird, a legend who became famous in the NBA when he was a player, naturally became a lot of coaches who were abused by Davis to the point of mental collapse......

Race to learn from the object to emulate.

It's just that......

After the game, in an interview, Bird ruthlessly used the phrase "Actually, I don't know how we won......

Broke the hearts of countless "Van Gundy".

Moreover, at that time, in order to avoid people thinking that he was filling the cup, the cup king Bird also added: "If you don't believe it, you can go and watch the game video."

Honestly, if you have to ask me the secret to beating the Raptors, then the most important thing in my opinion is that you have to pray before the game that luck will be on your side. ”

All right......

Bird, who originally just told the truth, could have imagined that his sentence, that only luck can defeat the Raptors, would be repeatedly mentioned countless times in the future......

……

On the 24th, the Raptors had a day off.

And on the 25th, the whole Raptors team went to Boston together to prepare for their fourth game in nearly five days.

In other words, before the start of this game with the Celtics, Davis, who got along well with Jordan in the new season, had an argument with the "old hooligan".

The reason is that because the intensity of the game in the shortened season is too high, Davis hopes that Jordan will be able to accept the rest for the next games.

However, in the 90s, the concept of "healthy basketball" was too advanced.

Like Barkley, a good friend who hasn't collapsed yet, with someone like Jordan, do you want him to take a turn off?

Unless his leg was broken by someone Sue.

"There's no way I'm going to rest, John, and when I'm dead, carry me off the court!" Jordan said to Davis resolutely.

No way.

Looking at the stubborn Qiao Laoqiang, for a while, even if Davis turned over "Emotional Intelligence", he didn't know how to persuade him to rest.

You know, Jordan is durable, but in this shrinking season, no one dares to guarantee that Jordan, who has reached the age of 36, will not have an accident.

And just when Davis and Jordan were arguing, at a critical moment, the weather in Toronto was not clear......

Naturally, it depends on Su Feng.

Su Feng, who knew that he couldn't persuade Jordan with "Emotional Intelligence" at such a time, decisively took out the famous book "The Big Picture" from his crotch.

"Michael, you know what, in my eyes, even if you're 50, you don't have any problem playing 40 minutes per game in the NBA." Patting the "old rascal" on the shoulder, Su Feng said to him with a look of "admiration".

And after a satisfied "oh", Jordan was willing to listen to Su Feng continue.

"But, Michael, have you forgotten our previous plan?" Su Feng winked at Jordan frantically and hinted.

And although he didn't react at the first time, as a "smart person", in order to avoid being misunderstood by the onlookers at this time that his IQ was about the same as Carter, Jordan nodded decisively.

"Michael, believe me, whether it's for the team to go further in the playoffs or for yourself, now, resting is definitely only going to be good for you." Su Feng said with a smile.

After noticing Jordan's skeptical expression, he had already begun to take the bait......

Su Feng quickly closed the net.

Next, Su Feng first analyzed the recent market and public opinion trend for Jordan;

Immediately afterwards, Su Feng analyzed Jordan's current physical state;

In the end, in front of the championship, Jordan, who had not yet returned to God, was completely moved by Su Feng.

In short......

For Jordan, who is already 36 years old, if he continues to be a hero, it would be fine if he succeeded, but what if he failed?

At the beginning of the season, in addition to setting the general policy of "inheriting basketball" with Jordan, Su Feng asked Jordan to maintain the character of his predecessors as much as possible, just to cooperate with the follow-up script promotion of "Veterans Don't Die".

In the world of competitive sports, no one can beat the time.

However, the immortality of veterans is definitely the most tear-jerking script in competitive sports.

In Su Feng's previous life, even if he was not a car fan, he was willing to cheer for Chelsea when the old boys at Chelsea were moving forward.

It's just that......

It's also toxic to say.

Because if you look at the history of modern football, you will find that Bayern is simply a football dream.

Ahem, it's far away, and let's get down to business.

Under the flickering of Su Feng's full-score essay, Jordan quickly made his choice based on his own situation.

"No problem, I can take a break during the regular season." Touching Su Feng's head, Jordan said.

On the side, looking at Su Feng, who had submitted Jordan to a good fit, for a moment, Davis always felt that he had seen this scene somewhere.

But that's it, anyway, as long as Boss Joe is willing to take turns to rest, it will be great news for the Raptors.

Because the No. 1 position in the Raptors league is no longer stable, so it's still the same reason......

In the shrinking season, as long as you can ensure the first place in the league, then a few more wins and a few fewer losses will not make a difference at all in Davis' opinion.

So, on the 25th, at the same time as the Raptors were heading towards Boston, as the news of Jordan's injury in training spread, countless "Fifty-Year Raptors fans" began to express their worries about the prospects of the Raptors......

"Michael is definitely the most 'dedicated' player I've ever met.

All his achievements in the past are not unrelated to his hard work.

However, just like the best sports car, it needs to stop once in a while to refuel and repair.

I think Michael needs to take a break. ”

Before the start of the game against the Celtics, when asked how long it would take for Jordan to return, Davis said with "deep sorrow".

"If Michael is as young as I am now, if Michael is as young and strong now as he was when he won three in a row, then in my opinion, no injury can stop him.

However, he is now 36 years old, and although I also think that Michael will not get old, the reality is so cruel, and in the future, as the leader of this Raptors, I will lead the Raptors forward.

Ha? How long will Michael be out?

To be honest, I don't know about this either.

But I know that people's dreams don't stop. Su Feng, who attended the pre-match press conference with Davis, said in an interview.

In this way, under the deliberate guidance of Su Feng and Davis, the master and apprentice, Jordan was full of spirit when he was young;

and invincibility at the top;

and the image of the hero in his old age who will not be twilight......

And so it was erected.

And as the saying goes, no matter how good the star is, it needs packaging.

In New York, after noticing the Raptors' promotional intentions, Stern immediately cooperated with the media to start reporting on Jordan's age, his fighting spirit, and his professionalism.

In Su Feng's previous life, if Wizard Joe could appear in front of people with a different character, then even if the Wizards' record was sparse, Jordan's career would be even more brilliant.

And in this life, after fate and Jordan were completely tied together, Su Feng knew very well that in the future, on the topic of "surpassing Jordan", he had already rushed to 99 meters, and he was not afraid that Jordan's image would be taller and more glorious than his previous life.

Because if Jordan's image is not tall enough, then he, a god killer, is he a killer?

No one knows better than Su Feng, who fights Jordan every day in training, that the 36-year-old Boss Qiao can no longer afford the setting of "God of Basketball......

So as early as the beginning of the season, Su Feng thought about everything for Jordan.

Instead of fighting over who is the boss of the Raptors, why not achieve each other and climb the unattainable peak together?

Boston, before the start of the big battle between the Raptors and the Celtics, public opinion has completely fallen to the Raptors.

And at the North Shore Garden Arena, the "old and weak" Auerbach also deliberately patted Duncan on the shoulder before the game and said: "Tim, I know you have a good personal relationship with Sue. ”

"But you have to remember that as long as you get on the pitch, you two are enemies.

There is only one championship in the NBA, and in this next era, Sue will definitely be your number one enemy. ”

For the vicissitudes of Auerbach, he knows very well that once Jordan abdicates, even if Su Feng is a "crooked nut", with his achievements in defeating Jordan at the peak head-on, at that time, his reputation will definitely far exceed that of this group of players at the same time.

And judging from the recent NBA publicity trends, Auerbach knows that Stern is deliberately promoting Su Feng as the leader of international players to promote the global development of the NBA.

So......

Auerbach, who hopes that Duncan can become the first person in the NBA in the future, does not want Duncan to be merciful in the face of Su Feng.

Because in competitive sports......

Loving and killing each other is king.

It's just that this time, the "cardinal's" worries are somewhat unnecessary.

Because how could Duncan be merciful in the face of Su Feng?

Well, look, after the pre-game warm-up, how energetic was Duncan touching Su Feng's head?

"The NBA is really a home ghost right now.

Let's take a look tonight, whether the young Duncan is better, or the young Su Feng can lead the Raptors to bite this battle in the absence of Michael Jordan, which is known as the focus of this year's Eastern Conference Finals in advance. Datianchao TV, when doing a pre-game preview, Director Zhang joked.

Teenager Duncan, teenager Su Feng......

The ghost knows if the barrage in the next 20 years will cry and laugh when they revisit Director Zhang's commentary.

At the scene in Boston, after the warm-up of the players of the two teams, the starters of both sides stepped on the court one after another.

Raptors: Big Ben, Smith, Su Feng, Carter, Nash.

Celtics: Duncan, Ladia, Bowen, Ray Allen, Marbury.

In the new season, as Su Feng remembers, in order to let Duncan avoid the monster O'Neal in the award selection, Auerbach changed Duncan's registered position to a power forward.

Of course......

In the actual game, Duncan is undoubtedly the true C of this Celtic team.

In the middle of the court, after the jump ball, the Celtics played the first attack.

In the new season, Marbury, who was trained by Auerbach to be extremely well-behaved, can contribute 18.9 points, 8.8 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game.

Judging from the run-in with Duncan, in this life, Marbury, who is wearing the green army uniform, is not only more efficient, but also can indulge in his offensive talent when he needs to steal points.

Nash couldn't have stopped Marbury's break, so tonight defensively, Davis once again chose to mismatch the defense.

That is, Su Feng will play against Marbury, and Nash will go to play against Bowen.

No matter how Bowen changes, this thing's offensive ability is limited.

Therefore, no matter how urgent Nash's defense is, Bowen will not be able to blow him up.

It's just that just when Su Feng was wrapping around Marbury, Duncan, a solid young general, gave him an elbow with a smile on his face as soon as he came up.

And Su Feng, who failed to bypass Duncan's blocking, was not angry, and directly chose to switch defenses with Smith.

However, although Su Feng's choice was very decisive, the Celtics had already formed two dislocations on the court at this time.

In the NBA, there is a wise saying:

No matter how good the offensive routine is, ———— is not as good as playing a good blocking.

Because of the blocking and dismantling tactics, as long as they can be played smoothly, even if they can't directly form an offensive, they can indirectly cause misalignment.

On the court, Marbury didn't give the ball to Duncan.

Full of personality, he went straight to Smith's defense zone after dribbling under his hips in succession.

0 to 2.

Marbury gave the Celtics the lead with a layup after shaking off Smith.

And back, the Raptors quickly served the baseline ball.

According to Su Feng's reminder before the game, Nash, who was responsible for dribbling and pushing the counterattack, avoided various "minefields" all the way.

Hong Kong Zhen ......

If there was no Su Feng to help clear the mines, then even a dribbling leader like Nash would have to suffer a dark loss in the North Shore Garden Arena.

However, in order to "avoid lightning", Nash's ball through the half court was definitely not as fast as before.

So taking advantage of the situation, the retreat on the Celtic side is also in place.

However, just when people thought that the Raptors were going to change positions, they suddenly ......

Nash pulled his bolt!

In order to prevent Nash from breaking through at the first time, Marbury, who retreated a little far away, was stunned......

Oh, do you really think that Nash won't score if he is mainly assisted?

In Su Feng's previous life, it was really not a joke to say that Nash could win the scoring title.

Because, strictly speaking, Nash is not a purely traditional defender.

He's more of a combination of a traditional guard like Stockton and an offensive guard like Curry.

If Nash can be more physical, then reasonable......

In the 21st century, it is definitely this "Sun King" who rules the NBA.

Hmmm——!

3 to 2.

On the court, after scoring a goal, Nash touched the sole of his shoe with his hand, and then after licking it, when he retreated, he also took the initiative to stretch out his hand, ready to high-five Su Feng......

“......”
