Vin Baker felt bad.
He was unhappy with Su Feng.
From descriptions in newspapers to matchups in games.
Therefore, he kept chasing Su Feng to talk trash.
This made Su Feng feel his temperament. As expected, people who drink alcohol are emotionally unstable, so we should still stay away from them.
However, on the court, Su Feng hopes to get closer to him.
Because Su Feng's super coordination talent is copied from Yu Wenbeck's, and when playing against him, he can absorb it faster.
This will be of great benefit to Su Feng in becoming stronger.
But this time, Vin Baker didn't get the basketball. Paul Pierce converted a shot and gave the Celtics a breathing space.
Looking back, Su Feng was still running fast.
But this time, Scottie Pippen shot it on his own, and he made a floater.
Although Pippen's physical fitness is far from his peak, his skills are still very strong.
Su Feng was watching and experiencing it at close range, which was very helpful.
The game continues to advance.
After three or four more possessions, Coach Beal took Pippen off the court and replaced him with Jamal Crawford.
After Crawford came on the court, the basketball was rarely passed, but Su Feng's running gave him a better one-on-one environment, and his touch was finally no longer so cold.
His impression of Su Feng is getting better and better. Even in the fourth round, he passed the ball to Su Feng while being flanked. Su Feng received the basketball and feinted... As expected, Wen Baker got involved and Su Feng Feng used a quick back turn to get past him.
Agility talent absorbs +1 again.
He then passed to Crawford.
When Crawford received the basketball, he was completely open.
He took action easily... Whoa!
hit.
After scoring the goal, he reached out to Su Feng on his way back to half-court: "You are very good, a rookie, worth training."
Then, Coach Bill replaced Jaylen Rose and replaced Gill.
Coach Bill is obsessed with offense. He played with Jordan and the others for a long time, and was baptized by the high intensity of the triangle offense.
Therefore, he hopes that the team will have at least two offensive points with the ball on the outside.
Jamal Crawford and Jaylen Rose are the two guns he relies on.
However, although both of them have scoring ability, if they are compared with the tactical understanding ability of Pippen and Jordan, it is simply like a pearl competing with a bright moon.
Once they take the field, it goes back to brawl mode.
They work in isolation and rarely pass the ball to each other.
Efficiency dropped significantly.
Su Feng ran two laps and was replaced.
The game returned to how it had just begun.
Coach Bill did not have the ability to control the differences between them on the tactical side. He frowned and stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, seeming to be thinking deeply.
Su Feng was sitting at the back of the bench. He and Kirk Hinrich were chatting. They are good friends.
"I will probably be back next week." Kokhinrich said: "The team needs to make changes. It doesn't need so many ball handlers."
He speaks more directly.
After all, he is a lottery pick with high hopes, and the team management will consult his opinions when formulating future plans.
Therefore, it is natural for him to develop these 'big picture views'.
Su Feng doesn't think about this matter at all now. He only thinks about getting stronger, showing his worth on the court, completely entering the rotation, and then entering the starting lineup.
Roger Mason is on the court now, and he's uncomfortable being sandwiched between Crawford and Jalen Rose.
And what makes him more uncomfortable than Su Feng is... he also needs to hold the ball. He has off-ball ability, but not much.
Bulls are messy.
Hinrich frowned, showing a sense of ownership. The opening line was: "We have to send one of them away..."
Su Feng currently does not have this kind of domineering spirit, and it is not his turn to be the 'owner' of the Bulls.
Just when he was thinking about how to increase singles opportunities in the second half and improve his talents.
There were some clear sounds in the huge United Center.
"listen!"
Kirk Hinrich was the first to hear clearly.
There were some scattered shouts from behind: We need 'ding'! We need 'ding'!
This is Su Feng's new nickname. Whenever he scores a goal, the DJ will make this sound effect.
Over time, this sound effect became synonymous with Su Feng.
The Bulls haven't scored a goal for a long time since Su Feng came off the field.
It's normal for fans to miss Su Feng.
At first the sounds were scattered.
By the second half of the second quarter, it became a pandemic.
Although the attendance rate tonight is only about 55%, many seats are empty.
But there are still tens of thousands of people.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in the same space and shouted in unison, and the aura was amazing.
We need 'ding'! We need 'ding'! We need 'ding'!
In Su Feng's first official regular season game, he received a huge response from the public.
This is unexpected.
But it is also reasonable.
After all, before Kirk Hinrich came on the scene, Su Feng was the only player on this corrupt team who could make fans feel happy.
This is "cultivating the bigger one from the dwarfs", which can also be said as "seeking medical treatment in case of emergency".
Bulls owner Reinsdorf heard the sound in the VIP box above the high platform. He asked his assistant when he learned that the fans were calling for a second-round pick and pinned all their hopes on this newcomer.
He became angrier than ever.
He exclaimed to new general manager John Paxson: "Are we now in a position where we need a second-round pick to save us?"
"Are we so bad that fans only want to believe in a second-round pick?"
He didn't mean to discriminate against Su Feng. He didn't know much about Su Feng. He was just angry: Where was my previous investment? I spend tens of millions of dollars every year to support those players, what are they doing?
Coach Bill is always good at what he does.
With 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the second quarter, he replaced Jaylen Rose and replaced him with Su Feng. Also replace Gill.
When Su Feng stepped onto the court, the lineup became: Jamal Crawford, Su Feng, Gill, Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler.
Reinsdorf saw this lineup on the big screen.
The leader of the locker room is here, the two treasures from high school are here, and Jamal Crawford, a good scorer, is also there.
But why are the fans shouting Su Feng's nickname?
Is this rookie really better than these people?
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
Crawford was somewhat tired after a tough battle with Jaylen Rose for the ball.
When he saw Su Feng play, his face looked much better.
He wants to show his 'assist' side.
He dribbled the ball into the paint, and then quickly passed the basketball to Su Feng... His pass was a bit too big.
He really has no talent as a passer.
When Su Feng received the basketball, he was not in the best position and the rhythm was not smooth.
But the Celtics' defense was not very good. Su Feng took off after a feint. Su Feng accelerated instantly, and his explosive power suddenly burst out.
Passing the defense in one step, he drove to the basket and feinted again. Blount got close to him again, and Su Feng handed the basketball hand to Tyson Chandler.
Chandler jumped up... Boom!
Complete the dunk.
Su Feng established an immediate effect when he came on the court.
Su Feng played the game quite well, with no flashy skills or amazing talent.
It is simple, direct and effective.
Chandler is happy and Bulls fans are happy.
Reinsdorf looked at this scene, and he couldn't help but said to John Paxson: "Don't you think that this kid's back looks like Jordan, Jordan with hair."
John Paxson nodded and said honestly: "This kid's body statistics are exactly the same as Jordan's, and his hands and wingspan are even better. This is why we were very interested in him at the last moment. .”
"His strongest point is actually his positioning without the ball, and his ability to catch and shoot is also very good."
Introduced by John Paxson.
"oh?"
Reinsdorf became increasingly curious.
In the frontcourt, when Gill was holding Pierce, Su Feng suddenly rushed over. He made a gesture to steal. Pierce subconsciously deflected his body to steal. Wang Gill took advantage of the situation and knocked the basketball away. Su Feng rushed over and grabbed it. Basketball...pass to Crawford.
Crawford dribbled the ball forward and attracted the defense. Su Feng ran towards the bottom corner and he passed the ball.
Su Feng caught the ball and took action... swish!
Three point hit.
Ding!
Familiar sound effects echoed in the United Center.
The home court was filled with excitement.
For Bulls fans, this is the gospel of God, the trumpet of victory.
To an opponent, it's like the sound of death knocking on a tombstone.
"Su! Su! Su!"
The fans in the audience cheered wildly.
Su Feng was originally just the most inconspicuous presence in this year's draft plan, but now, in his first regular season game after standing up from the bench, he has gained the grace that everyone expected.
Reinsdorf became increasingly curious and said to John Paxson, "This little guy looks great. When do you think he's going to hit the rookie wall? Can he successfully hit the rookie wall?"
The boss knows football very well.
After all, he is the boss who established two dynasties.
The so-called rookie wall refers to some rookies who performed very well when they first entered the NBA. But when his skills, playing style, physical strength and other indicators are recorded in detail in each team's database, he will immediately encounter targeted defense.
Then his performance will decline.
This process of decline is called hitting the rookie wall.
Hitting the rookie wall, there are only two outcomes. Either he falls in front of the rookie wall, disappears from everyone, or even leaves the league quickly.
Either break through the rookie wall, thrive, and become an elite player or even a star.
There are two ways to break through the rookie wall: the first is to go around it. Getting around requires teamwork and the help of a system. The price is...in the future, he can only become a system player and no longer has the ability to override the system. The team will not let you take on more tasks and gain privileges above the system.
The second type is to break through directly. Breaking through directly requires extremely strong talent and skills. In other words, 'undefensible talents and skills'.
Most of those who pass the rookie wall in this way can become stars, even superstars, and even superstars.
Of course, there is another kind. That means there is no rookie wall.
From the first day he entered the league, he had energy that surpassed any defensive system. This is true for historical superstars such as Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.
This year's super rookie LeBron James is also considered to have such energy.
John Paxson thought about it seriously and said: "Su Feng is a role player. It doesn't matter even if a role player hits the rookie wall. Moreover, with his running skills, the rookie wall set up by other teams can easily be bypassed." open."
"The most important thing is that other teams don't need to set up too big a rookie wall for a role player."
John Paxson said so.
He never regarded Su Feng as the future cornerstone of the team. He just regarded Su Feng as an important part of the team. To the extreme, John Paxson only thinks Su Feng can become the best sixth man.
Reinsdorf said nothing.
He continued to watch the game.
After Su Feng hit a three-pointer, he returned to defense. He once again helped Crawford limit Mike James, who missed the pass and Tyson Chandler captured the basketball.
He passed to Jamal Crawford, who pushed forward with the ball. Su Feng ran to the baseline again. This time Boston's defense divided a part to chase Su Feng.
Unexpectedly, Su Feng suddenly turned back. He used Gill's cross screen to run to the top of the key.
Crawford, the lone defender, encountered a double attack again. He looked back at the moon and passed the basketball to the top of the key.
Su Feng caught the basketball and the Celtics rushed in desperately, but Su Feng threw the basketball inside again.
Crawford jumped up and smashed the basketball into the blue frame with one hand.
The technique of passing the ball is very simple, as an NBA player knows it. The passing path selection is also very ordinary, there is a risk of being intercepted, and even the passing field of view is very wide.
But it states one thing very clearly and unmistakably.
"This kid's basketball thinking is very clear, and he has a mind that goes straight to his heart." Reinsdorf commented.
"I think he can be an elite player."
He then added.
Elite player?
John Paxson was a little surprised. The boss had really high expectations for this rookie.
But he is also worried that the higher the boss's expectations, the greater the disappointment. Excessive expectations are not a good thing for rookies with mediocre talent.
Therefore, he said: "Su Feng just lacks talent. If his talent were better, he might be able to enter the first round."
He said it tactfully.
But the meaning is very simple.
Reinsdorf was in the shopping mall, so he could certainly understand the meaning behind the words. He smiled and said, "Talent sometimes doesn't determine everything, but here it does."
He tapped his brain.
Then he made the most direct prediction: "Do you believe that Jamal Crawford will soon compete with Jaylen Rose for the ball, and this rookie will side with Jamal Crawford?"
Jamal Crawford and Jalen Rose have developed a systematic competition early on. They both need the ball and are both ball-handling scorers.
So, it’s not hard to make this prediction.
The team's top brass is also considering this matter.
However, predicting that Su Feng will side with Crawford... seems a bit mysterious.
But John Paxson has heard that Jaylen Rose doesn't like Su Feng.
But will Su Feng get involved in the dispute between the team bosses?
Not a good thing for a rookie.
