I Really Just Want to Hit the Iron (All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball) - Vol 2 Chapter 868
Staples Center, after halftime, with the excellent play of Kobe and other Lakers players, the Lakers entered the second half with a 7-point lead.
On the court, the Lakers scored 55-62 in the first half.
After halftime, in the third quarter of the game, the Celtics switched to Duncan to play the No. 5 position, and the lineup on the field also became one big and four small.
After the two sides changed sides, in the Celtics’ first offensive round, Duncan, who was double-teamed on the inside, showed the world his big heart.
In the penalty area, Duncan not only did not panic because of being pinched by Su Feng, but instead raised the ball with both hands while patiently observing the movements of his teammates.
On the basketball court, after an offensive player encounters an opponent’s pinch, from the scene, a situation of more play and less will be formed on the court for a short time.
But fans who often watch basketball games should know that under normal circumstances, after encountering a double-team, an offensive player who chooses to pass the ball immediately will not directly form an open shot opportunity. .
Especially strong conversations like tonight.
Because the well-trained side must pinpoint the right time to pinch you, so on the weak side, the defensive side will definitely have players who are always paying attention to filling up their teammates.
Therefore, often only in the case of fully attracting the opponent’s flanking players, the attackers can take advantage of this fleeting opportunity to play more and less.
In the low post, after noticing Leonard who was quietly ambushing in the bottom corner out of the corner of his eye, Duncan just turned around and threw the ball towards Leonard’s chest.
It’s just a little pity that Leonard missed this excellent open three-pointer.
when!
Leonard’s three-point shot missed the front of the basket due to insufficient force when shooting.
But who would have thought…
Just when Pau Gasol was ready to pick off this backcourt rebound happily in the penalty area, Duncan picked melon from the back of his head and ordered this offensive rebound for the Celtics!
An old house where a treasure.
Perhaps the 38-year-old Tim Duncan has long lost his former athleticism.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to stand on the field and wait to die!
Near the free throw line, Parker hit a mid-range shot on the rebound from Duncan.
57 to 62.
There are not many cruel words, and the society is my brother Deng.
On TNT TV, Barkley, who saw this scene, couldn’t help but sigh: “No matter how many people in this league claim to be Su’s lifelong enemies…
In my opinion, only Tim Duncan deserves such a compliment! ”
From the era of the Raptors to the era of the Lakers today.
Looking back on the past 16 years…
Whenever Su Feng and his friends are getting closer and closer to success…
Tim Duncan and the Celtics he led will always be the last hurdle before Su Feng reaches the top.
In Su Feng’s previous life, some people always said that if it wasn’t for Popovich and the Spurs who made Duncan, then Duncan would be a big Lopez at best.
But people who say so forget, for competitive sports, especially basketball, a sport that you can’t look at with a general historical perspective…
Some people, from the moment he entered the league, were destined to forge a legend that belongs to him in the future.
Remember what Auerbach said to Duncan?
For NBA players, a long career is like a marathon. Before the finish line, only those who persevere to the end can win the championship.
On the court, when retreating, looking at the Celtics courtside seat that has always been vacated by Celtics players and coaches for the past eight years…
At this moment, Duncan’s eyes not only revealed a firmness, but also revealed a trace of ferocity.
Seventeen years in my career, don’t ask me where my end is.
If you can’t beat it this year, then come back next year.
If you can’t beat it next year, then come back the year after.
And if you can’t beat it in the next year…
Then big year!
I continued to play until my legs couldn’t support me.
That is my end!
Staples Center, come back, Celtics hold off Lakers offense!
In the penalty area, when Kevin Garnett received Kobe Bryant’s ball and was about to finish the game with a rebounding shot, Duncan suddenly rushed out from the back and slapped the basketball to the backboard.
Of the four PFs, why can only Duncan sit on the first throne?
Because even the wolf king who was extremely resistant did not have as long a peak period as Duncan.
Years have ruthlessly taken away Garnett’s talent and domineering.
However, time has turned Duncan into an indestructible rock!
in front of the TV.
If it is said that Su Feng blew the horn to rise up and fight against the “old hooligan tyranny”.
At this moment, from the veteran of Duncan…
What people see is…
Seventeen years of perseverance and tenacity.
In Oakland, James, who has been autistic for almost a week, suddenly came to his senses.
Because 38-year-old Duncan is all fighting. …
What’s more, he is much younger than Duncan?
Life is long.
Not only perfection is worth celebrating.
And in the NBA, a league that will never succeed…
Who says muddy body is not a hero?
Confronted over despair, walked through the dark alley alone.
But still dare to face the muzzle of fate.
The introduction is Tim Duncan.
“Cardinal” Auerbach personally selected the captain for this Celtic team.
On the field, after being protected by Parker for the second spot, the Celtics counterattacked.
Rondo failed to stop Parker near the center circle.
After stepping on the accelerator to the bottom, Parker counterattacked in one-stop!
59 to 62!
On the sidelines, seeing this, Director Lu, who was originally calm, stood up suddenly.
At the scene, the sensible and capable main cameraman also immediately aimed the close-up shot at No. 23 of the Los Angeles Lakers.
From the dragon slayer back then to the giant dragon that everyone wants to slaughter today…
The whole world knows that, in terms of His Majesty’s character, it is impossible for him to sit by and watch the Celtics change the situation on the field in one fell swoop.
However, the group apparently forgot.
When Kobe felt good, Su Feng was also willing to help Kobe for a while.
Lower Merion twins, each is king when divided, and invincible when combined!
On the court, the Lakers attacked, and Su Feng suddenly found Kobe.
The latter stabbed and fell, making a three-pointer!
59 to 65!
Under the “Su Feng’s Rules”, Su Feng did not choose to ignore Duncan, who had returned to the inside.
Only do the right thing at the right time.
This is the way to win that Su Feng has been taught in his 18-year career.
Bryant felt overwhelming tonight. In Su Feng’s view, he had no reason not to pass the ball to Bryant who was in a better position just now.
Back, the Celtics attacked.
In the case of failing to run two consecutive tactics, Parker decisively hoisted the ball to Leonard, who came out from the flank, and let him complete the offense through singles.
when!
It’s a pity that Leonard’s flanking singles slightly deviated from the basket under the VIP service of Su Feng.
However, in the Lakers restricted area…
The embarrassing thing happened to Garnett and Xiaojia.
Because in a one-to-two situation, Duncan actually leaned on them to point the ball out of the frame into the basket.
CCTV, seeing this scene, Yu Jia also said: “That’s why we always say that Su Feng’s contribution to this Lakers team is not just his scoring.
Look at this ball, when Su Feng couldn’t come back to protect the backcourt rebound, the Lakers really lost the backcourt rebound again! ”
On the field, it was the Lakers’ turn to attack.
The little plus who just couldn’t get stuck on Duncan almost made a mistake again.
In basketball games, the reason why players make mistakes one after another is precisely because after making the first mistake, in the next game, players often think about how I can avoid mistakes first.
In the high position, after forming a triangle with Su Feng and Kobe in the low position and on the flanks, in order to safely pass the ball to Su Feng, Xiao Jia who could have directly hoisted the ball to Su Feng decided to pass the ball to Kobe first. .
But with such an obvious passing intention, how could Xiao Jia deceive Ariza, who has been entangled with Kobe Bryant?
To know……
In the low post, maybe Ariza isn’t a one-size-fits-all foe for Kobe.
However, on the flanks, Ariza’s defensive area is quite wide.
Fortunately, Kobe, who was highly focused, took the lead and used his small hands to get the basketball back from Ariza’s arms!
Immediately afterwards, because Ariza was out of position, the Lakers who went in by mistake got an excellent shot.
Swish-!
Kobe’s three-pointer is still there!
62 to 68!
On the field, when he retreated, Jia thought that Kobe would throw a death stare at him.
But what Xiaojia never expected was that Kobe actually patted him on the back and encouraged: “Don’t take one or two mistakes to heart.
You are our indispensable insider cornerstone. ”
Xiaojia: “…”
Aside, seeing this, Su Feng was instantly happy.
only……
Before Su Feng stepped forward to praise Kobe’s maturity, Kobe turned his head and said to him, “Of course, some people have to be named and criticized.
It’s okay to not actively help teammates grab rebounds.
I even asked for the ball in the low post just now, and I didn’t even ask for a place for a long time. ”
Su Feng: “…”
“What are you looking at?
Don’t you know it’s you I’m talking about, Sue?
Hurry back to your position to defend! Looking at Su Feng, Kobe continued.
Su Feng: “…”
Staples Center, in the third quarter of the game, both the Lake and Kay teams strengthened their defenses.
However, what is different from the “dark battle” of the year is that…
In recent years, as the version of the game has changed, so has the scale of defense allowed in the NBA.
So, except for Su Feng’s feeling of returning to the past…
Offense is the theme of this night’s game.
In this section, the Celtics clung to the Lakers.
but……
In the second half of the game, because he knew that the Celtics’ inside substitutes were unreliable, Karl had to actively cut Duncan’s rest time at Duncan’s initiative.
Originally, when Xiao Jia was forced to take a break due to his fourth personal foul, the Celtics fans on the TV were quite happy.
but……
Adams, who then appeared on the field, made Celtic fans fully experience what it means to be “two fists and four hands”.
After the high-intensity consumption of the first three quarters of the game, Duncan has ushered in his physical strength in advance.
On the court, the Lakers and Celtics were 88-92 in the first three quarters.
In the final quarter, the Lakers took the lead.
Previously in the Western Conference Finals, Su Feng, who would always return to the bench to sit until the last 6 or 7 minutes before playing, would not stop.
Because of this game, Kobe’s excellent performance ensured that Su Feng could always find a way to paddle on the court during regular time.
“If you don’t play well, go out in the future, don’t call me eldest brother in front of others.
Because I can’t afford to lose that person! “Before the end of the game, when Su Feng was preparing to lead his team to the field, Kobe Bryant said this to Su Feng.
result……
Tony, who replaced Leonard, unfortunately became the “victim” of Suko’s bickering.
It is true that with the “Su Feng’s Rules”, Su Feng really can’t do whatever he wants like he did in the previous Western Conference finals.
But don’t forget, except for most of this season, since the moment he entered the league, Su Feng has always played under the defensive standards of the 1990s.
In the final quarter, the Lakers took the lead.
Looking at Su Feng who had already leaned on him, Mr. Tony decided to use both hands and feet. While wrapping his arms around Su Feng’s colorful waist, he also did not forget to use his feet to cross Su Feng.
However, at the moment when Su Feng released the ball and burst out, Mr. Tony couldn’t hold back the “natural power” Su Feng.
In ancient times, there was an overlord and a giant cauldron, but now there is Su Feng to welcome men!
Boom!
In the low position, after forcibly wiped Tony Allen, Su Feng hit Olynyk!
On CCTV, Director Zhang, who saw this scene, sighed with emotion: “This is really unbearable, and it can’t be pulled! Su Feng is like a bull!”
Aside, Yu Jia echoed: “If Harden is replaced with this ball, it must be two plus one.
The referee may even call a flagrant foul. ”
Hearing this, Director Zhang smiled and said, “How can Harden’s little arms and legs be compared with Su Feng?
Maybe Harden hadn’t caught the ball before the referee blew the whistle for Harden. ”
On the court, because he knew that the Celtics’ bench lineup could not hold the second lineup of the Lakers led by Su Feng, and in less than two minutes, in front of the technical stage, Karl replaced Duncan and Leonard successively. Olynyk and Korver.
But in the face of Su Feng, who was determined to take over the game, Leonard, who had been defending well in the eyes of the Celtics fans, had nothing to do.
Celtics halftime, Lakers ball.
Looking at Su Feng who took the initiative to reach out to him for the ball, Livingston immediately put the basketball on Fenghuang’s chest.
Relying on the “Su Feng’s Rules”, because Leonard could use his hands unscrupulously to interfere with Su Feng’s ball-holding offense on the outside, so Leonard still sticks to Su Feng very closely.
But it’s too late, it’s too soon.
On the flank, in Leonard’s view, Su Feng’s breakthrough line of the ball had been completely blocked by himself. After suddenly dropping the ball and leaning over to lower his center of gravity, Su Feng was stunned to break free from his affection. Lock for seven days!
Moreover, Leonard, who felt that his chest was stuffed a little, couldn’t even see Su Feng’s movements clearly, and was already left behind by Su Feng!
Seeing this, in the restricted area, Duncan hurriedly recovered.
Outside, Leonard also chased back desperately.
But after a sudden slowdown…
However, Su Feng made his shot in the Celtics’ defensive junction with a silky smoothness!
Swish-!
On CCTV, Yu Jia kept shaking his head and said, “Grant Hill once said that as long as he protruded back then, even if Michael Jordan was in front of him, he would have taken it right.
But not long ago, in an interview, Hill also said that even he couldn’t compare to Su Feng in the first step.
Just now, Leonard was obviously careless.
Because after being passed by Su Feng, he never thought that Su Feng would be able to make a sudden stop and make a shot while sprinting at full speed! ”
Hearing this, Director Zhang echoed: “It is said that the world’s martial arts, only fast is not broken…
But it also depends on how fast you are.
In the NBA, there are many players with fast speed, but there is only one player who can combine skills and speed so perfectly like Su Feng. ”
On the side, Yu Jia smiled and said, “Is there nothing that Director Zhang said includes Kobe?”
Guidance Zhang: “…”
no!
Today’s young people, why do they always like to slap other people when they are all right?
CCTV, after being silent for a while, saw Director Zhang answer with tears: “Including Kobe.”
In the final quarter of the game, the Lakers’ lineup advantage began to gradually emerge.
At this moment, in the face of Su Feng’s sudden runaway, even with the existence of “Su Feng’s Rules”, Celtic players whose physical fitness has declined cannot restrict him like the first three quarters.
In the last 5 minutes of the game, Lu coach replaced Kobe Bryant and retained Middleton to share Suko’s storm pressure when necessary.
On the field, in the face of the Lakers’ new Big Three taking turns to attack, Duncan, who has been frantically filling his teammates, can take care of one side but not the other.
Previously, Leonard, who had high hopes by the Celtics fans, seemed a little greener at this time.
In the end, the two teams ended the game with a score of 112-125.
The Lakers won the first victory of the 2013/14 NBA Finals with a 13-point advantage over the Celtics at home.
The whole game, Bryant got a total of 36 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists.
In addition to the overall shooting rate of 50%, in this game, Kobe’s three-point shooting rate also reached an astonishing 5 of 7 shots. (Kobe: What do you mean? Why is 5-for-7 shooting so amazing? Isn’t that your normal operation?)
However, Su Feng, who was in trouble at the end, scored a total of 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists.
It is worth mentioning that of all the 30 points Su Feng scored in this game, 20 of them were scored in the final quarter.
In addition, Middleton and Livingston also recorded 15 and 10 points respectively.
On the Celtics side, although Leonard, who was accurate first and then iron, scored a total of 20 points, his overall shooting percentage was only 7 of 20.
And, after being replaced in the final quarter.
In the full 10 minutes of the game, Leonard did not score even a single point in front of Su Feng.
The tenacious teenager Duncan deserves to be Su Feng’s lifelong enemy.
In this game, the Celtics were able to save the suspense to the end, a large part of the reason is because the reversal of growth Duncan scored 19 points and 12 rebounds.
Perhaps, such data is nothing to Duncan, who regarded “20+10” as a daily routine at his peak.
But you must know that of the 12 rebounds Duncan grabbed in this game, 5 of them were offensive rebounds.
Moreover, Duncan’s contribution to the Celtics on the defensive end cannot be reflected in statistics.
In the first quarter of the game, Ginobili, who had reappeared in a fight with Kobe Bryant, was obviously constrained by physical fitness in the second half. In the first quarter, he contributed 10 points to the Celtics, but only scored 14 points.
“French supercar” Parker is still the Celtics’ most stable player outside of Duncan.
Although more than half a month ago, Parker also spent his 32nd birthday.
But with the development of modern sports medicine…
The peak period of professional players is obviously also extending.
In the whole game, in addition to scoring a team-high 22 points for the Celtics, Parker also had 7 assists and 4 rebounds.
After the G1 war, various media who used Kobe to make fun of him changed their tune.
Even ESPN, who has always used black Kobe to earn traffic, named Kobe the best player in the game.
On the Internet, many Kobe fans believe that if Kobe continues to fight like this, he has every chance to become the finals MVP this year.
“Did you read the post-game report? The New York Times said I was totally worthy of the Finals MVP this year!” The next day, in Su Feng’s villa in Xingang, Kobe was as happy as a 35-year-old while eating dinner. Children.
Hearing this, after smiling, Su Feng said, “Then do you know how your great leader in the United States commented on The New York Times?”
Kobe shook his head.
“He said, The New York Times is trash among trash.” Su Feng smiled.
“Jealous, you are definitely jealous of me!
All right……
Since you played well after the G1 battle, I won’t care about you this time. “After spreading his hands, Kobe said.
“Jealous? I wish you could play like this every game.
Because you can’t let Natalia, Theresa, and Gianna come to my house and ask me for the Finals MVP trophy to play, right? “Patting Kobe on the shoulder, Su Feng said.
Kobe: “…”
Oh you MM category!
10 Finals MVPs are amazing!
No… isn’t that 10 Finals MVP trophies?
As long as I put in a little effort…
Uh!
like……
10 Finals MVP trophies are a little bit remarkable.
But so what?
“The first game, didn’t you win by hugging my thigh?” Looking at Su Feng, Kobe thought to himself with a proud face.
And then, two days later, in Game 2 of the Lakers-Celtics Finals…
Kobe couldn’t say a word.
In the second game of the finals, the Celtics sent one big and four small starters as soon as they came up.
Because only in this way, the Celtics can strengthen their defense on the perimeter.
So despite that, Duncan’s defensive pressure is bound to increase…
Carl and Bird can only choose to trust Duncan.
In the first quarter of the game, the Celtics after the evolution achieved good results.
This night, Kobe Bryant, who played well in the last game, only made 1 of 6 shots in the first quarter.
Under the entanglement of Mr. Tony, Kobe can be said to be a perfect interpretation of what it means to cast resolutely and be firm.
The Lakers got off to a bad start and were beaten 33-24 by the Celtics in the first quarter.
You know, for this Lakers, a single quarter score of 24 points is a very rare low score.
Fortunately, in the second quarter, the Lakers’ benches filled the hole dug by the main players in only half a quarter.
In this game, Curry, who got a chance to play because the Celtics sent Korver in the second quarter, proved with his strength that not everyone in the Curry family will be cursed at Staples.
In just 6 minutes and 15 seconds of playing time, Seth Curry, who made 5 of 5 shots from beyond the arc, stopped the Celtics twice.
On the sidelines, at the same time, Su Feng also said to someone: “It seems that Seth also has the opportunity to compete for this year’s finals MVP!”
Hearing that, Kobe, who swore to get back his game in the second half of the second quarter, did get his game back.
Because he made 2 of 6 shots in the second half of this quarter, and in terms of hit rate, it was double the first quarter of the game.
Fortunately, before the Lakers’ main force returned one after another, the Lakers’ substitutes had already won a 6-point lead for this group of unsatisfactory main force.
Staples, after halftime, the score between the two teams was 58-58.
After the halftime, in the third quarter of the game, under the trend of winning the game, Kobe finally chose to log in to the account of the “Pennsylvania Magician”.
Middleton started this quarter.
And successfully threw the Celtics a century problem.
That is……
Even if one of the three Sukomi is dead…
It’s also hard to stop the Lakers offense when the other two are on the line.
In the third quarter, Middleton scored 11 points for the Lakers in a single quarter.
And Su Feng has 12 points in the account.
After the first three quarters, with the decline of the Celtics’ main force, the Lakers’ lead has come to 10 points.
At the end, Director Lu continued the strategy of the last game against the Celtics and continued to let Su Feng stay on the field to lead the team.
On the sidelines, with his jersey in his mouth, Kobe, who knew that he didn’t play well in this game, watched it to death.
Because with Su Feng playing a personal 11-0 attack wave on the field…
The Lakers have basically sealed the victory of this game.
“Why are you still sitting? Get up, get ready to go up and check the data!” When the Celtics were forced to request a timeout, Su Feng was deliberately playing Kobe’s mentality.
But here comes the problem…
Is he Kobe the kind of guy who swipes stats in garbage time?
“No! You’re already 20 points ahead, why are you still treating the game as a final?” On the court, he looked at Su Feng, who still chose to play brazenly because the Celtics didn’t replace the main force. , Kobe is in a hurry again.
“But, this is the finals!” Hearing this, Su Feng answered confidently.
Kobe: “…”
In the end, the score of this finals G2 battle was 108 to 128.
In the whole game, Su Feng contributed a total of 44 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists to the team.
And Middleton scored the Lakers’ second-highest 25 points.
“Let me see, how many points did the great Kobe Bryant score in this game?” After the game, Su Feng took the initiative to tease him, looking at Kobe who had turned on the self-closing mode in the corner of the locker room. .
16 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists.
In terms of performance, the 35-year-old Kobe is actually not bad.
But compared to the Kobe Bryant who was touted as the Finals MVP by the media after the G1 game…
It’s clearly not on the same level.
And what’s more, in this game, most of Kobe’s points were obtained by free throws?
After the G2 war, because in the game, especially in sports battles, people were left with the stereotype that they were either striking the iron or striking the iron…
then……
That delightful news headline…
In this way again appeared in front of Kobe Bryant.
“The Lakers’ win still can’t hide someone’s downfall!
‘False second in history’ is the envy of Charles Barkley!
Shaq O’Neal is even more blunt: My grandma can win this game! ”
have to say.
The American media is indeed the best of all times when it comes to taking things out of context.
Because although O’Neal did say similar things when explaining the second game, what O’Neal clearly wanted to express at the time was that this Lakers team was desperately strong.
You know, in the game, O’Neal often praised Kobe for adjusting the game in time in the second half when he felt bad.
And to say that Barkley envied Kobe Bryant would be even more bullshit…
Because since retiring, which year has Barkley not regretted his decision to retire too early?
no!
As long as you can hold Su Feng’s thigh tightly.
So what’s wrong with Barkley playing until he’s 50 and then retiring?
After G2, Kobe was injured.
But two days later, at Boston’s North Shore Garden Arena.
It turns out.
The “injured” “Black Slow Ba” can always use his performance to slap the face when people think he is not good.
In this game, Su Feng, who was heavily guarded by the Celtics, had an average feel, only 12 of 26 shots.
On the other hand, when Su Feng’s overall hit rate didn’t even reach 50%, Middleton was also tough.
Returning to the North Shore Garden Arena, the Celtics who were unwilling to give up the championship to the Lakers broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.
Do not blow or black.
In the case that the Lakers made a rare pitfall on the bench, if it wasn’t for Kobe’s 13-for-22 shooting in this game, plus free throws and three-pointers, the Lakers scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists, then The Lakers will likely even drop their guns after the first three quarters.
It is a pity that the Lakers failed to complete the comeback in the final game.
In the whole game, the two teams finished the game with a score of 121 to 127.
However……
What made Kobe, who was already uncomfortable after the loss, even more uncomfortable, was…
After the game, the Los Angeles media even gave this headline:
“37 points can’t hide the fact that he’s slipping!
Lost the last 4 shots, Lakers, please give the ball to your true leader at the critical moment? ”
Kobe: “…”
Look, what do you mean when you win and don’t contribute, you should be scolded, and if you lose, you should be scolded?
“I’m very curious, why these media have rarely picked on you in the past two years?” The next day, in the hotel where the Lakers were stationed in Boston, Kobe, who had pushed open the door of Su Feng’s room early in the morning, asked curiously.
“Nonsense, I’ve slapped them in the face for more than ten years. Do you think they dare to spray me at this time?” Kobe woke up because he hadn’t slept enough. Hearing this, Su Feng looked impatient. said.
“Aren’t they afraid of me hitting them in the face?” Kobe asked.
“Kobe…
Who do you think has a higher probability of winning the World Cup between the US soccer team and the Brazilian soccer team? “Su Feng asked ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Brazil… Brazil?” Kobe replied.
“That’s it.” After covering the quilt again, Su Feng, who was about to go back to sleep, said.
Kobe: “…”
OK!
Su dog!
That’s how you look at me!
“Don’t sleep! Get up and practice ball with me!” In the room, after pulling Su Feng’s quilt off, Kobe said angrily.
Su Feng: “…”
…
PS: 8K, in terms of general rationality, is indeed 2K less than the 4D, but after rounding it down… well, no excuses, tomorrow will be the whole 8K! mwah!
