This is somewhat ridiculous.
Su Feng and Kobe were at odds, and O'Neal actually sided with Su Feng.
But it is a fact. The split of OK group was not fabricated by the media. They have long seemed to be separated.
Back at halftime, Hinrich didn't want to tangle with Gary Payton, so he simply passed the basketball to Su Feng in advance.
He knew that Kobe and Su Feng were competing, but he wanted to see how Su Feng dealt with Kobe.
Su Feng holds the ball, and Kobe quickly presses up. Kobe's defense is very aggressive. He is one of the few stars in the league who can combine offense and defense. Although this person does not have high emotional intelligence and his way of dealing with people is not mature enough, his pursuit of technology is the ultimate.
Kobe pressed forward step by step, but Su Feng did not flinch.
He performed his technical moves very steadily, and at the moment when Kobe was pressing forward with all his strength, he unexpectedly pushed forward. Su Feng's shoulders pressed hard against Kobe's body, and a strong force hit Kobe. Zhi, he didn't expect Su Feng to be so powerful.
The moment his movements froze, Su Feng took quick steps. Su Feng's explosive power is already above average among guards in today's league, surpassing Kobe in one step.
Kobe quickly turned around to pursue, but he didn't expect... After Su Feng reached the free throw line, he suddenly passed the basketball to Antonio Davis. At the same time, his body ran around Antonio Davis in reverse and out of the three-point line. This movement Very weird.
Kobe failed to capture Su Feng's intentions and was left behind.
Antonio is very aware of Su Feng's "coquettish operation". He often uses himself as a pillar.
Su Feng's running was inspired by "The King of Qin Wraps Around the Pillar".
When he came outside the three-point line, the ball was quickly passed to him. He caught the ball and shot... Whoops!
Three point hit.
The ball hit, and the United Center was filled with jubilation.
Who would have thought that Su Feng would give Kobe an answer-ball in this way.
It can be said that Bulls fans have loved and hated Kobe over the years. On the one hand, he is the strongest replacement for Jordan in the league today, close to the 'pure original' version. On the other hand, this kid is not a Bulls player.
Now, Su Feng, as a Bulls guard, is playing equally with Kobe Bryant, who is known as Peter Pan, and they are very happy.
Reinsdorf in the grandstand box was also very happy.
He asked the balding middle-aged white man: "Scott, how do you like this ball?"
"Excellent, very tricky off-the-ball movement, very exquisite wall-hitting coordination. Whether it's imagination or space awareness, he is outstanding. Any head coach would like to have such a player on his roster. Look at Phil Jackson’s expression.”
The bald middle-aged white man said this.
The big screen overhead just gave a close-up of the Lakers bench, and you could clearly see the shock on the expression of Lakers head coach Phil Jackson.
This ball was a shock to Phil Jackson.
He was completely conquered by Su Feng's way of handling the ball, from Su Feng's escape from Kobe's defense to his movement and three-point shot. Phil Jackson only had one thought in his mind: The best second in command.
No wonder Scottie Pippen likes this kid so much. This kid is indeed very smart and good at taking advantage of his own conditions and rules.
Although his offensive ability is not strong, this kind of deft response... is what every team needs.
What's more, he actually broke the historical single-game assist record.
This shows that he is also very accomplished in passing.
If the Lakers have him as a buffer and supplement between the OK group, we should be able to win three more championships even without Karl Malone and Gary Payton.
He's a perfect fit for the Lakers.
Phil Jackson couldn't help but think so.
In fact, Kobe thinks so too.
When he watched Su Feng defeat his defense in such a smart way, he didn't get angry, but felt a sense of sympathy and recognition.
He felt that Su Feng should stop wasting his youth in Chicago and should come to the Lakers.
He and I are a perfect match.
Kobe couldn't stop thinking this.
Su Feng felt the strange look in Kobe's eyes.
Similarly, Shaquille O'Neal was also looking at Su Feng, his eyes were rather direct. Because he said directly: "Boy, you should come and play with me. There is no future in Chicago."
O'Neal is also interested in recruiting. How could he not like a defender who can pass the ball, doesn't occupy the ball, is smart and tough, and is extremely good at positioning?
"Haha, I declined."
Su Feng waved his hand at O'Neal. He didn't have much interest in going to the Lakers.
Although going to the Lakers is closer to a championship, the exposure there is also higher, and it is more suitable for him to be included in the best rookie team. But... with the two giants of OK and OK, it would be very difficult for me to go further. I don't have as much ball rights and freedom as I did in Chicago.
The game continues.
Kobe Bryant singled out Su Feng, but his turnaround jump shot was interfered by Gill's pounce and missed.
Antonio Davis got the rebound and passed it to Su Feng. Su Feng quickly passed a long pass. Hinrich received the ball in the frontcourt and he scored a layup.
This time the Bulls made a sneak attack, and Hinrich retreated early, giving Gary Payton no time to react.
Su Feng's long pass was more timely.
This ball also highlighted Su Feng's passing ability.
The Lakers are even hungrier.
Phil Jackson couldn't hide his desire to poach people, even though the Bulls were his old club, where he established two dynasties. But talent is rare. He is now playing for the Lakers, and he hopes the Lakers will build another dynasty.
He vowed to have a chat with Su Feng after the game tonight and try to bring Su Feng back to Los Angeles.
The game continues.
The Lakers give more of the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal is the leader of the Lakers and he is also the strongest superstar in the league. OK combination, O in front.
O'Neal scored one after another, and Eddy Curry couldn't guard him at all.
The Bulls are clinging to points.
Su Feng connected in various ways. He used his movements to clear the defense and activated his teammates with quick secondary passes. The Bulls felt very good tonight. After Crawford came on the court, he enhanced the team's ability to score points from the outside.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were evenly matched.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
The score of 55:55 filled the United Center with joy.
The Bulls fans at the scene all had a strong feeling: We are about to recover. We finally see the light. Super Sufeng injects strong momentum into us and we will return to glory.
“You should come play in Los Angeles.”
When he was off the court, Kobe suddenly came to Su Feng and said, "The Lakers are more suitable for your growth than the Bulls."
Su Feng shook his head, he refused: "I'm fine here."
"No, this is your smooth moment. Of course you think everything is fine. When you hit the rookie wall, when you and your teammates don't understand each other well, you will feel restricted everywhere. With your style of play, you and Crowe It is only a matter of time before Ford and Hinrich come to restrict each other."
Kobe seduced Su Feng all the way.
Su Feng found it funny. He said to Kobe: "Don't you think you can't do it if you go to the Lakers?"
"No." Kobe was very serious. He didn't seem to be telling a joke at all: "O'Neal and I have a vast space for you to play."
Su Feng was silent for him.
He really didn't know what was going on in Kobe's mind.
However, he and Kobe soon parted ways.
He walked into the locker room, and Eddy Curry ran over to him and asked: "Did Kobe talk trash to you just now?"
"That's not true. However, he is actually recruiting me to go to the Lakers, saying that I am very suitable for the Lakers." Su Feng said calmly.
This seemed to him a ridiculous thing and how could it possibly happen.
Eddy Curry also laughed after hearing this, and he told this as a joke to everyone.
Coach Bill thought it was ridiculous after hearing this: "It's simply black humor. Jack is the core treatment here. What can he do in Los Angeles? Be the bag boy of the OK group? They are already in trouble, how can they still have the ball? Tony."
Coach Bill's words made everyone nod.
His words contained a lot of information and directly declared Su Feng to be the core.
This made Hinrich very disappointed, and Crawford also frowned: Tony Su is the core? What about me? During the time I was injured, my position was just taken away?
Beep!
The second half of the game started quickly.
Su Feng still started the game.
The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides did not change much, but the Lakers gradually gained the upper hand, because the OK combination began to exert force at the same time, and Karl Malone also frequently hit mid-range shots.
In terms of strength, there is a huge gap between the two teams.
The point difference quickly widened, and by the seventh minute of the third quarter, it had expanded to 8 points. It's about to reach double digits.
At this time, Shaquille O'Neal exerted too much force when playing singles against Eddy Curry. He did not expect that Eddy Curry would suddenly withdraw his strength and sat on the ground. The ball was stolen by Eddy Curry and passed to the player who was about to leave. Su Feng, Su Feng hit a jumper from beyond the three-point line, narrowing the point difference to 5 points.
O'Neal was holding his buttocks and howling.
The team doctor went over to check him and the game was temporarily stopped.
Soon, the staff got a stretcher, but the stretcher obviously couldn't lift the giant O'Neal.
Then there was a very ridiculous scene. The staff drove a small forklift. With the help of the staff and teammates, O'Neal was helped onto the board in front of the forklift, then forked out of the player tunnel and sent to the ambulance.
The picture looks funny.
Many fans at the scene made small noises. Although O'Neal's injury was a regrettable thing, everyone should have empathy. But... O'Neal was lying there, really like a giant wild boar.
After O'Neal came off the court, the Lakers' penalty area instantly formed a 'power void'. The area they were supposed to dominate was overturned by Eddy Curry, and the new white center Medenkovich was no match for the Sharks.
After being ravaged by the big shark for a long time, the little shark also burst out with fighting power and vented his anger.
The Lakers lost their advantage inside.
Although Karl Malone has shouldered part of the responsibility, he is old after all.
At this time, Kobe finally took full control of the offense.
He kept playing singles, and he used his super skills to punish Su Feng, Gill, and Crawford. No one in the Bulls could guard him.
However, the Lakers couldn't guard against the Bulls' offense.
All the Bulls players had a blast tonight.
After losing his biggest competitor on the team, Kobe's hand also became cold.
The Bulls took the lead in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter and maintained their lead.
With 1 minute and 57 seconds left, as Su Feng hit his fifth three-pointer of the game, the Lakers requested a timeout and announced the arrival of garbage time.
The United Center was abuzz, even though the Bulls only defeated the Lakers without O'Neal.
However, it is still a victory that boosts the confidence of Bulls fans to the extreme.
The number one in the East will kill the number one in the West.
The Bull secures his first position.
Su Feng scored 26 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block in this game. The statistics are very comprehensive. He is also the soul of the Bulls' victory. His go-between skills and unrelenting goals at critical moments are all deeply remembered by fans.
Therefore, after the game, reporters on the sidelines interviewed Su Feng immediately.
"Winning the Lakers is very important to us. We got another victory. This is a great help to our record."
Su Feng answered reporters' questions with a happy face.
For the Bulls, defeating the Lakers is a peak of their season.
Before the start of the season, who would have thought that the Bulls could rush all the way to first place in the Eastern Conference? No one thought that the Bulls could defeat the Lakers with super F4, but the Bulls did all this.
There are many reasons why the Bulls accomplished all this, but the biggest reason must be the rise of Su Feng.
"The home fans are very nice, they give us the greatest support and they are our best sixth man."
"Coach Bill played a crucial role. He built our confidence. He set up a good tactical platform for us. He allowed us to perfectly unleash our talents. Thank you to him."
"Getting a Nike contract is a dream for me, and I'm very grateful for everything. I will prove myself with better performance."
Su Feng is always so polite and decent, and his screen image is very good.
This is also the reason why he is favored by businesses and loved by fans.
Su Feng walked to the locker room, and what he didn't expect was that he met Phil Jackson in the player tunnel.
Phil Jackson took the initiative to come over and greet him, and it was obvious that he was waiting for Su Feng here.
"Hello, Tony. I'm Phil Jackson." Jackson introduced himself to Su Feng.
This is a very rare thing.
Because Phil Jackson's status in the NBA is very high, he can be called the TOP1 among active head coaches because he established three dynasties. Although Pat Riley and others are often arrogant, saying that he won the championship with Jordan and O'Neal.
But other head coaches also had Jordan and O'Neal, so why didn't they succeed.
Making good use of superstars is also a skill.
"Hello, Phil." Su Feng stretched out his hand and shook his hand.
Phil Jackson was enthusiastic and had a firm handshake.
He continued: "I admire you very much. Your style of play is refreshing to me. I feel that you are very suitable for my tactical system. Have you heard of the triangle offense?"
He asked with a smile on his face.
If it weren't for knowing that he was Phil Jackson, Su Feng would have really suspected that he was here to sell products to him.
It's like someone saying to you, 'Have you heard of Amway? '.
