Canada Route Center Arena.

Before the playoffs began, some pundits and reporters who thought that a team like the Raptors would be exposed in the playoffs was dumbfounded.

Because even in the playoffs, the Raptors' offense is still so "fast".

TNT TV, in order to answer the doubts of this part of experts and reporters, Smith said the "true face" of this Raptors in a few words.

"It looks like the Raptors are an offense-oriented team, but in reality, most of their fast break comes from defensive counterplay.

In my opinion, they are more like a speed-up version of the bulls, and when they can, they will never slow down.

But when they have to slow down, they can also deal with their opponents with fist-to-flesh positional battles. ”

In the regular season, because of the Raptors' flashy offense and those performative open picks, people will always subconsciously ignore their strengths in other areas.

Just like Su Feng in his previous life, most people will immediately think of their unreasonable three-point shot when they mention the Warriors.

However, in this era when the rules are very different from the future, the Raptors can't conquer the league just by running and roaring.

On the Knicks' bench, affected by the aura of "Ewing reimbursement", Van Gundy felt that this Raptors team was even more difficult to play than the Bulls back then

No way.

Although Van Gundy had a rare spiritual experience tonight, under the premise that the Raptors don't give him a chance, even if he can come up with a strategy......

He couldn't find any flaws in this Raptor.

And this is also one of the reasons why Su Feng hinted that Davis must be ready to play five games before the start of this round of playoffs.

Because the strong team beats the weak team, you don't need to engage in those vain targets at all.

You just have to be yourself.

You know, in competitive sports, the collapse of most super teams is often related to the team's own problems.

Therefore, for Su Feng, who is familiar with the past history, how could he let these painful lessons happen to him?

Wake up, are there fewer protagonists who hang up because of carelessness?

If you look at reality as a book, then Su Feng doesn't want to be killed by the plot.

He's going to write his own script steadily!

……

That's it, and before even an unknown substitute of the Raptors stood up to prove himself, this G1 game in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs ......

The Raptors took it down bloodlessly.

In the end, the score of the game was 95-110.

In the whole game, Su Feng played 45 minutes, and it was not until the last moment that the Knicks withdrew the main force, and he was called back by Davis Mingjin.

Su Feng, who shot 11-of-23, including 3-of-7 three-pointers and 8-of-9 free throws, delivered a perfect answer of 33 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 assist in his playoff debut this year.

Jordan, on the other hand, had 24 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Carter finished with 20 points and five rebounds on 7-of-12 shooting, including free throws and three-pointers.

Sujoka and the trio combined for 77 points, and after the game, ESPN also jokingly referred to the three of them as:

———— "Trident of the Gods".

Well, now the question arises.

If the three Sujoka are the tridents of the gods, then who is the person who serves as the "halberd handle" in this trident?

After the game, Van Gundy said in an interview that the reason for tonight's loss was not that the Knicks didn't play well, but that the Raptors played too well.

In addition, if Van Gundy's evaluation of Su Feng is translated by a Yin translation assistant, it is roughly as follows:

"It's 9991 years, no one thinks that Su Feng is not a supergiant, right?"

Cough......

Actually, Jeff, you know what, sometimes your reflexes are really slow!

"Thank you Jeff Van Gundy for your comments on me.

But I don't think this win is commendable, because no one can guarantee that the Raptors will advance to the next round until the series is over. ”

It is worth mentioning that after the game, when Su Feng was interviewed, he put away the giggles during the regular season.

"I really agree with Sue because we don't have any advantage over other teams, so we have to play every game seriously."

On the other hand, in an interview with the "old rascal", he did whatever it took to win the sixth championship in his career, and he also said to the media in a low-key manner.

Get......

Under the premise that the two big brothers of the Raptors are speaking out like this, Van Gundy feels that he can't expect the Raptors to make mistakes in the next series......

……

On the 10th, Toronto, in the second match between the two teams, Van Gundy, who had read the script in advance, found that he was now able to face the defeat calmly.

Although the Knicks copied the Raptors' homework, if they want to crack the Raptors' infinite rotation, the Knicks, who don't have a super center and no three-point shots, can't do it.

Relying on high morale and Van Gundy's flash of inspiration, the Knicks can still fight the Raptors back and forth in local games.

But when the timer in the fourth quarter went to zero, as in the first game, under the premise that the Raptors did not make mistakes, the Knicks still did not have the slightest chance.

91-107, just like that, the Raptors successfully won the second game and led the Knicks with a score of 2-0.

In this game, Su Feng got 27 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 steals.

On the Knicks' side, the best player is Alan Houston.

It's just that......

Under Van Gundy, you would expect Houston, who is tied down by reason, to score 81 points per game with his teammates, and that's too embarrassing for Houston.

In Su Feng's previous life, Houston was not without critical strike ability.

In the 02/03 season, after Van Gundy's departure, Houston scored 50+ twice that season.

Unlike Van Gundy, Don Cheney, who took over as the Knicks at the time, saw at a glance the problem of Houston's mid-range shot.

As a result, the mid-pitch king became the three-point king, and people found that Houston was even more difficult to guard.

It's a pity......

At that time, the Knicks, in terms of the overall strength of the team, were no longer as brave as they used to be.

……

On the 13th, the game between the Raptors and the Knicks was moved to New York.

With the team trailing 0-2, it is naturally impossible for New York fans to give the team a good look.

I have to say that Su Feng has really ruined a lot of classics in this life.

Because if Su Feng remembers correctly, according to the original historical trajectory, this season's Knicks will be supported by all New Yorkers......

However, perhaps it is a relationship of getting used to the boos of the home field.

In the third game, the Knicks, who had added three points, played their best performance since this series.

The spiritual Van Gundy, after repeatedly studying the team's first two defeats, hit the jackpot in a desperate gamble.

Although Van Gundy always had a lot of problems when he was coaching, he was indeed the kind of stubborn character who never gave up.

Because he saw the difference in strength between the Knicks and the Raptors, he not only did not put pressure on the players before the start of the third game, but instead began to use words to motivate the players.

And with the burden removed, the Knicks have succeeded in making New York fans really fragrant.

97-101, the Knicks, who refused to be swept, not only pulled one back, but also gave the fans of Madison Square Garden back the cheers in this game.

It's just that Van Gundy's brainstorming is limited after all.

In the fourth game, after the Raptors increased their defense of the Knicks' outside line, the Knicks returned to the old path of not being able to score on offense and unable to defend defensively.

In the first three battles, Tracey's younger brother, who has never been worthy of having a name, became the winning ace in Davis's hands.

With the Raptors removing Nash and switching to Maddie to target Houston, the Raptors' defensive level suddenly rose by one or two notches.

And it's been 9991 years, no one will think that Maddie usually gets beaten in training for nothing, right?

In the 98/99 season, despite playing most of the time off the bench, Maddy, who averaged 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, was definitely the key man in the Raptors.

In the end, 104-91, the Raptors eliminated the Knicks with a score of 3-1 and successfully advanced to the next round.

Madison Square Garden, at the end of the game, New York fans also gave applause to the Raptors.

Maybe in this life, Su Feng has ruined a lot of classics.

But in the same way, new classics are also being forged.

You must know that this season, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Raptors saved the NBA.

And after the series, in an interview, Van Gundy also admitted many of his mistakes in the past, and said that he will learn from Davis next season and strive to give New York fans a different viewing experience.

However......

Su Feng, who knew that once Ewing came back, Van Gundy's mind would be funny again, knew very well that although Van Gundy was not the kind of hard-mouthed coach, if he wanted to open his mind, there was no other way than to be a commentator.

Either way, at least for now, New York fans are willing to trust Van Gundy for a while the team is missing someone but playing reasonably well in the playoffs.

Of course, the price of such trust is, of course......

At the end of the season, New York fans felt like someone was really dispensable.

Don't look at the New York fans don't want to save money for Dolan, but you say, does someone deserve such a high salary for his impatient performance?

Hong Kong Zhen, after the end of this round of the series, the New York media can open the group to Ewing, who has nothing to do with this round of the series, which Su Feng really didn't expect before the game.

Poor Ewing.

I don't know how this gorilla will spend the rest of his life.

Straight to the point.

At the same time that the Raptors eliminated the Knicks 3-1, the situation of the other games in the first round of the Eastern and Western Conference gradually became clear.

In the East, the Celtics eliminated the 76ers with a score of 3-0 two days ago and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals ahead of schedule.

As Su Feng remembers, Latliff was powerless in the face of Duncan.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the career records of the two, Duncan not only averaged "20+10" per game, but also beat Ratliff into a younger brother, so that he could only get an average of "6+4" per game.

In the NBA, the problem of player style restraint has always existed.

Faced with Duncan, who was taller and faster than himself, and smarter than himself, Latliff could only be described as being finished.

And in the case of Latrive being blown up by Duncan, Christie made Ray Allen feel what SM-style defense is in this series......

But holding Duncan's thighs, Marbury was activated by Duncan.

Commissar Ma, who played crazy with Duncan and output frantically under Duncan's crotch, averaged 23.8 points and 9.3 assists per game in this series with the 76ers, in a sense, knocked out Iverson, who averaged 31.3 per game on the 76ers' side.

And then......

And then there was no more.

Although the head coach of this Celtic team is nominally Millerkal, everyone knows that in fact the leader of this Celtic team is the man named Auerbach.

So, while Larry Brown made some successful set-ups in this series and decisively abandoned the unpopular Camby, the results of the game proved that after losing Su Feng, the strength of the 76ers team is no longer comparable to last season.

And Philadelphia, originally after the team's management fired Berlinberg, the temporarily suppressed love for Su Feng can now be said to have completely exploded.

Only God knows how many Philadelphia fans held signs on the night when the 76ers were swept out by the Celtics, hoping that Su Feng would come back......

As for the media reporters who are good at heckling, they have taken the opportunity to ridicule Philadelphia fans:

"Oh? Now you know that you have asked Su Feng to come back? Then why did you go earlier? ”

Wake up, Phillies of Philadelphia.

Your Sue is now wearing the Raptors' jersey!

He can't come back!

In the face of ridicule and ridicule from other local media, this year is destined to be a year of collective isolation for basketball fans across Pennsylvania.

Because no matter how angry they are, they know that these sarcasms and ridicules are the truth.

The hero who has always sheltered Philadelphia is now ......

The world calls him:

———— "god of the north".

Philadelphia fans, who were in an extremely broken mood, pressed the table for the time being.

In the East, after Su Feng destroyed the Knicks' Black Eight legend, Riley became the biggest winner.

The Heat also easily defeated the Hawks with a score of 3-0.

Compared with the Hawks who staged an Atlanta fairy tale back then, the Hawks have long since lost the spirit of the past.

Although after a whole year of happiness, Uncle Mu found that he still wanted to win another championship.

But for this already happy Eagles team, no matter how thick Uncle Mu's arms are, he can't turn the team's happy atmosphere back.

So, where did Riley, who was bent on assassinating Davis, know that in fact, the true love in his heart had already saved him once in the summer of 1999.

According to the next matchup, the Raptors' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be the Pacers, who have beaten them twice in the regular season.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Pacers eliminated the Pistons 3-2 and were the last team in the East to advance to the semifinals.

According to the format at this time, starting from the semifinals of the playoffs, it will be a seven-game system.

Because they have defeated the Raptors twice in the regular season, before the start of this semifinal between the Raptors and the Pacers, many experts who are not firm enough have jumped to the Pacers camp, believing that the Pacers have a high probability of beating the Raptors.

As for the optimism of public opinion, you may not believe it when you say it, but Pacers coach Bird himself is not so optimistic about himself.

Bird, who has a clear judgment of the strength between the Pacers and the Raptors, knows very well that the Pacers defeated the Raptors twice in the regular season, relying on leisure.

To put it bluntly, he, Bird, where did he arrange any clever tactics at that time?

It's just that in the NBA, no team can maintain its form every game.

However, just when Bird was unusually low-key and thought that the Pacers were only 28 open with the Raptors in this series, those fans who had been brainwashed by him in the early years thought that Bird must be holding back his big move!

Come on, Larry, please tell us out loud, who of Su Feng and Jordan are you going to make a truck driver this time?

Hong Kong Zhen, Bird feels that this group of people is really insane.

Because they tell the truth every day, but they think they are filling a cup?

A cup with a hammer!

Do you really think I can take off my suit and change into a jersey to play now?

Bird was upset.

Because after being inexplicably sent to the royal robe by a bunch of inverted dragons, in the next series with the Raptors, the pressure on Bird's shoulders is simply not too great.

And the other thing said......

Just when the eastern side was killing horribly, the western side was ......

The Lakers have been on a smooth journey.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers easily defeated the SuperSonics 3-0.

This season, Weinbeck's weight alone was enough to give the supersonic uniform team a headache, and Schramf's reimbursement before the playoffs kicked off made the team even worse.

In this life, the Lakers are definitely also the beneficiaries of historical changes.

Because not only did the "Zen Master" join the Lakers in advance and slept with Jeanie Buss......

Ah no, it was O'Neill who unshackled!

And because the Timberwolves had previously aided the Celtics, Brandon failed to land in Minnesota as originally planned, and Joe Smith also decided to go to Toronto to play for a year......

So......

The Timberwolves didn't even keep their position as the eighth in the West this year.

As a result, how can the current supersonic team create a little trouble for the Lakers?

Also, on their Western Conference semifinals opponent Mosaic......

Su Feng felt that the Lakers could even open champagne in advance to celebrate their entry into the Western Finals.

There is no doubt that if the Raptors are playing Hall of Fame difficulty, then the Lakers' side is definitely more professional difficulty.

Seriously, if Su Feng is more bold in his prediction, then it is okay for the Lakers to announce their entry into the finals in advance.

Because on the other side, the Jazz were dragged into Game 5 by the Suns in the first round of the playoffs.

The only team that could cause problems for the Lakers was already struggling by the time they advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Their semi-final opponents, the Trail Blazers, are waiting for work.

Therefore, after noticing the Lakers' schedule, in addition to shouting "My Lake champion", Su Feng's current caution ......

All of a sudden, another level has been raised!

Try to think about it, if Kobe's little slut won the championship before himself, how would he complain about himself when Ghost Xiao got it!

Hey, you say it's a coincidence?

Los Angeles, under the death glare of young Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' players all felt that Kobe Bryant was poisonous.

Because obviously the team eliminated the SuperSonics 3-0, but these days Kobe Bryant has made the Lakers feel like they were eliminated.

Only this time, O'Neal is also on Kobe's side.

Because this fathead fish is now extremely eager to announce the arrival of his own time.

Wake up, Lakers players.

Do you know, if Su Feng's little slut wins the championship before me, how will he complain about me when Ghost Xiao gets it?

Recently, Kobe Bryant, who feels that he is under more and more pressure, is it as simple as a demon in terms of training investment?

One thing to say, this year's championship, he Kobe Bryant has to win, right?

……

PS: It's very urgent and critical, and Qiao continues to code words! In order not to reduce 200, I fought hard!
