Jalen Rose's Bulls career is on the line.
Su Feng's Bulls career has therefore entered a new field.
No one could have imagined that this game against James, the chosen son, would become an important turning point in the status of Su Feng's team, and its significance is no less than reopening the draft.
Coach Bill did not hesitate to package the tactical lines of "Crawford, Scottie Pippen, and Jaylen Rose" in the tactical manual to Su Feng. He gave Su Feng great freedom and even allowed He was bossy in the dessert section.
If we say that Su Feng was treated as a rookie at the end of the first round at most.
So now, Su Feng at least gets lottery treatment and is directly promoted by Coach Bill as the team's key training target.
No one within the team has any objections to this. Jaylen Rose, who has objections, has been removed from the game due to diarrhea.
This is called being welcomed by everyone.
Su Feng played an undisputed performance, and his potential value was strongly activated in the matchup with the Chosen One. In addition, the team's three swingmen cannot play.
Su Feng's wave...is destiny.
Hinrich was a little envious. He originally thought that Su Feng was a second-round pick. No matter how good he played, the team's status would not be as good as his own. After all, he was the cornerstone of the team.
But now, in his first game back, Su Feng received the same tactical treatment as him.
"Congratulations, Tony, we will fight side by side in the future and become the Bulls' new generation of outside twin stars." Hinrich patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said. Envy is envy, congratulations are congratulations.
Hinrich and Su Feng have always had a close relationship.
Although the Scarlett Johansson incident makes Kirk Hinrich very uncomfortable.
Beep!
The second half of the game begins.
Su Feng got the chance to start.
However, LeBron James is no longer going to face Su Feng. He leaves Su Feng to Ricky Davis to deal with.
James is a smart player. He knew that his playing style was temporarily restrained by Su Feng, and playing against Su Feng would only increase Su Feng's reputation, but would not benefit him at all.
So why go to a duel with Su Feng?
James will not make wedding clothes for others.
The title of Chosen Son is not used as a stepping stone for others.
However, James didn't play very well against Gill in the second half. His shooting percentage was average and he was a little too sticky.
In contrast, Su Feng still performed well against Ricky Davis. After the proportion of ball rights increased, Su Feng held the ball more frequently on the wing.
Ricky Davis isn't a good defender, and he's very unfocused right now, with trade rumors plaguing him.
He originally thought that the team chose LeBron James to assist him, but now...everyone in Cleveland is discussing how to trade him as soon as possible so that James can take over faster.
He is prejudiced against James.
Therefore, when James wanted to switch defenses with him, he felt dissatisfied and disdainful.
This emotion is directly reflected in his defensive attitude, working hard but not doing enough.
Su Feng dribbled the ball directly in front of him many times, getting to the basket and scoring frequently.
James frowned and criticized him many times, but his expression was: Go ahead if you can.
The two were having a bad time.
The rhythm of the game is firmly in the hands of the Bulls.
The Bulls lost their three major perimeter players, but under the leadership of rookies Hinrich and Su Feng, they played team basketball.
The Cavaliers trailed by 17 points at the end of the third quarter.
Five minutes into the fourth quarter, LeBron James shot three three-pointers and only hit one, and the point difference widened to 20 points.
The Cavaliers readily requested a timeout, replaced the main lineup, and declared garbage time.
The NBA has a tradition of surrendering its guns but not killing: when the lagging team sees no hope of victory, it will declare surrender. The way to surrender is to replace all the main players.
The Cavaliers surrendered.
Coach Bill had no choice but to replace Su Feng. In fact, secretly, he really wanted to keep Su Feng on the court, because Su Feng had already scored an extremely funny 35 points in this game, and also had 5 assists and 5 assists. Rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
If this trend continues, it will not be a problem for Su Feng to get 40 points, and there is hope for 50 points.
This is a record that is neither big nor small.
And Su Feng is indeed a substitute.
But in the end, after much deliberation, I still didn’t want to give Su Feng a bad reputation for brushing up on data. In the NBA, on the one hand, it attaches great importance to data, but on the other hand, it hates brushing up on data. The Cavaliers have a negative example. Ricky Davis threw a basketball at his own backboard in order to get a triple-double. In the end, not only was the triple-double canceled, but he was also suspended and became a joke in the league.
"LeBron James scored 27 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks tonight. His personal performance was very good, as good as ever. However, I have to say that Su Feng played better tonight."
"Su Feng is more efficient than him, playing less time and scoring more points. Moreover, Su Feng wins. The most important thing is that Su Feng has an overwhelming advantage in direct dialogue with James. At least two Five of the best goals of the night!"
Earl Johnson did justice to the two hot prospects at the end of the game.
Charles Barkley concluded by saying: "Tracy McGrady is right, Su Feng has great potential. His physical fitness is outstanding, and his ability to control the ball is too strong. When the Bulls hand over the ball, When it was given to him, he handled it well and had a lot of potential.”
"He was the highlight of the night, without a doubt."
This nationally broadcast game was very influential. Many people originally came to see James. Everyone wanted to see how strong the chosen one would be after he arrived in the NBA.
In addition, some people even came specifically to watch "James, the chosen one, punish second-round pick Su Feng".
However, Su Feng used his performance to attract the fans' attention during the game and became the protagonist of the game.
This game is priceless to Su Feng.
He has achieved leaps and bounds in all dimensions.
From tactical status, to fan promotion, to commercial value, to potential expectations... Although James did not want to be a stepping stone for Su Feng, Su Feng still completed self-promotion through the 'Chosen Son'.
Although Kenny Smith said in the end: "A matchup can't explain anything. From a talent perspective, James is far better than Su Feng. I think if Su Feng seizes the opportunity of this large-scale injury wave in the team, he may be able to become A good ball-handler on the wing, he even developed into a borderline All-Star. However, James' goal is a superstar, a historical superstar."
However, the popularity has already been established.
Fans across the United States already know that Su Feng can be compared with James.
You must know that before this game, Su Feng was just an outstanding second-round pick and a role player with development potential. But after tonight, the positioning completely changed.
Su Feng can already be regarded as a 'lottery rookie'.
…
After the game, Su Feng appeared at the post-game press conference for the first time in his life, and Coach Bill took him in front of reporters.
Coach Bill likes Su Feng very much. He introduced at the beginning: "Journalist friends, I will bring tonight's MVP here to meet with you."
Su Feng smiled and waved to everyone. His handsome face and charming temperament made the spotlight on the scene flicker.
Their outstanding looks also brought them closer together. Even reporters in Cleveland couldn't bear to ask "provocative questions" because of their appearance.
This is why some scientists published a paper showing that people with good looks can get more help in social activities.
The first thing a Cleveland reporter asked was: "What do you think of McGrady saying that you and LeBron James both have a bright future? How does it feel to play against LeBron tonight? What kind of player do you think LeBron is?"
"Thank you Tracy for your appreciation. You know, his experience has always inspired me to move forward. He stood up from the bench and grew from the most improved player to the current super scoring champion. I have been learning from him. So, when he expressed his optimism about my future, I was very excited. I felt like my dream had come true, and I felt like I had thrown a coin into the wishing well and received a response from the gods."
"I'm also very happy that he can talk about LeBron James and me together. As everyone knows, LeBron is a super high school student. He has been the most famous basketball player in the United States since he was about sixteen years old. His The talent is phenomenal, and I was blown away by his talent every second I played against him."
"I really hope I can play against him more. It will be a great motivation for me and help me improve faster."
Su Feng talked eloquently.
This surprised Coach Bill next to him. He didn't expect Su Feng to be so eloquent and speak so sincerely.
Even if the reporter wants to embarrass himself, he can't find a place to talk.
However, what he didn't know was that Su Feng was just talking. But at least half of it is true.
Because he really gained a lot from playing against James, his explosive talent and coordination talent have been improved as a result, and his physical fitness is better than before the game.
