The Denver Nuggets are going through a brutal rout.
The Lakers' strong combat power makes it difficult for the Nuggets to stop.
So much so that Phil Jackson boldly conducted more training.
After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 9 points. In the second quarter, Phil Jackson simply took Gary Payton off the court and asked Su Feng to play point guard.
Su Feng's defensive ability is not as strong as Payton.
But his assault efficiency is higher than Payton's. He is not verbose in positional battles and plays the ball decisively. Karl Malone is keen to cover him. Su Feng uses Malone's screen to break through and his kills are visibly improved... After all, Karl Malone has played pick-and-roll all his life, and his screen quality ranks first in history.
Su Feng can pass the basketball quickly, which significantly improves the Lakers' offensive efficiency.
Even if it doesn't look like the triangle offense anymore.
Su Feng played point guard for a while, and the Lakers' point difference advantage continued to expand. Then, Phil Jackson rested Shaquille O'Neal, and he moved Su Feng to the small forward position again, and the point guard replaced Derek Fisher, a shooter.
But the ball is still in Su Feng's hands.
He wanted to experiment with the Bulls model of the year.
Su Feng assumed Pippen's previous role as point forward.
At this time, Su Feng's weakness was revealed.
His ball-holding jump shot is not of a high standard, and his wing singles have a low hit rate without being able to penetrate into the penalty area. This resulted in the Nuggets focusing on Bryant's defense.
There is a clear difference between Kobe and Jordan. Kobe's willingness and skill to share the ball are not as good as Jordan's.
Therefore, there is a de facto isolation between the two, and there is no good interaction between the strong and weak sides.
The Nuggets once narrowed the point difference to single digits.
But as Su Feng quickly changed his position, he continued to attack the penalty area and go to the basket to grab rebounds. In the process, his rebounding ability improved rapidly. And forming an advantage, Carmelo Anthony lost two rebounds in a row, and he was very depressed.
Su Feng brought the point difference back to more than double digits.
Su Feng and Kobe formed an alternative harmony.
"Tony, how come you have become so strong now? No, you are both strong and flexible, and your explosive power has also increased."
During halftime, Cameron walked up to Su Feng and they walked to the tunnel together: "You are like a different person."
Carmelo Anthony scored 13 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 block in the first half.
Su Feng scored 8 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block in the first half. Both men's statistics were very good, but Su Feng's team gained a 13-point lead.
"I'm just re-adapting to my body. You know, I suddenly gained almost 20 centimeters in height during college." Su Feng explained to Anthony: "So, my body will undergo a process that is almost restructured."
This is a scientific judgment given by Nike's professional sports team. They predict that Su Feng's physical fitness can continue to evolve.
Nike is very happy about this and looking forward to it.
Su Feng was even happier because he finally found a rational and scientific reason.
"so good."
Anthony said from the bottom of his heart that although he was a little jealous of Su Feng's beauty, he saw that Su Feng was getting better and better. As a college classmate, his blessings were sincere.
This sentiment is completely different from Hinrich's. Hinrich is 'both afraid of his brother's hardship and fear of his brother driving a Land Rover'. Moreover, Hinrich does not want Su Feng to take away his core position. It is best to be his little brother forever.
"I'm looking forward to this year's All-Star Rookie Game and joining forces with you again. We must defeat the second-year team." Anthony continued.
"Of course, definitely. We are the championship team." Su Feng stretched out his hand and shook Anthony tightly.
Competition is competition, friendship is friendship.
…
When Su Feng walked into the locker room, Karl Malone took the lead in applauding him. He was most comfortable working with Su Feng in the first half because Su Feng was very good at playing pick-and-rolls.
"Tony, I just looked at your data. I guarantee you will get a triple-double tonight. This will be the most eye-catching debut of the Los Angeles Lakers." Malone said loudly in the locker room.
Ma Long's loud promotion did not make anyone unhappy, because Su Feng conquered them with his strength.
Originally, everyone was worried that Su Feng would be acclimatized in actual combat, causing difficulties for the Lakers.
The coaching staff was even mentally prepared for a decline in record, but tonight, Su Feng perfectly integrated into every corner of the Lakers system. Rebounds, passes, breakthroughs, he is everywhere.
He can always create new surprises.
When Su Feng was traded, no one expected that Su Feng would be so versatile. He is now acting like a filler.
Su Feng chatted with Malone for a while, and he sat next to Kobe. Kobe took half of the special beef patty from his pocket and gave it to Su Feng: "Replenish energy."
Kobe almost never showed kindness to others. Everyone could see that he treated Su Feng differently.
"Thanks."
Su Feng took the beef cake and praised it greatly after eating it. He also said: "This cake is very similar to a local snack in China. I will make some for you next time."
"You know how to cook for yourself?" Kobe said strangely.
"There is a popular saying in our Chinese study abroad circle that before you learn the knowledge, you must first learn to cook. Chinese restaurants here in the United States are very expensive, and the food taste has been localized, so many international students who did not cook in China originally I learned how to cook. I am the best among them." When Su Feng said this, he was a little proud: "It's just a little bit higher than my talent in basketball."
When Kobe heard this, he immediately cheered up: "Then I must try it. My basketball talent is even higher than yours."
Su Feng raised his head with a smile, proud.
Phil Jackson began to explain the gains and losses of the first half of the game. He played the key rounds of the first half in the locker room and pointed out which tactics were not implemented properly.
NBA teams have a huge team, especially video editing. Phil Jackson attaches great importance to this aspect, so the Lakers videographer is very efficient.
"I'll try to pass the ball to you."
When Phil Jackson talked about the cooperation between Su Feng and Kobe, Kobe turned his head to Su Feng: "But you have to practice your mid-range well. The place where outside players can really kill opponents is in the mid-range. Here is The most difficult place to score is also the strategic hub. If you want to become a superstar, you must establish dominance here. Your classmate Carmelo Anthony is good."
The two chatted quietly.
Kobe has his own understanding of the sport of basketball.
You can say that Kobe has a unique style of play and a paranoid personality, but you can't say that he has a low basketball IQ. It is impossible for a player with a low basketball IQ to become a superstar. To become a top player in any sports field requires an extremely high IQ.
Phil Jackson finished the first half's tactical analysis, and then he announced the starting lineup for the second half. He made changes. He put Kobe Bryant on the bench, pulled Luke Walton to the small forward position, and Su Feng appeared. At shooting guard...he was a shooting guard before him, and the point guard is still Gary Payton.
This change was unexpected and reasonable.
The Lakers coaching staff is trying its best to tap the potential of Su Feng. Of course, Phil Jackson wants to try the chemical reaction between Su Feng and O'Neal.
Just like when he benched Shaquille O'Neal in the second quarter.
Kobe Bryant curled his lips, but did not express any clear dissatisfaction. He even patted Su Feng's knee.
This made Phil Jackson relieved, because Kobe's character was extremely paranoid. If he didn't accept it and started to toss, the locker room would be in chaos again.
…
When Nike boss Phil Knight watched Su Feng start the second half, partnering with O'Neal, Malone, Payton, and Walton, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
This arrangement clearly tells everyone: Su Feng is the third pole of the Lakers, and he is the third leader after the OK combination.
Because the OK group is in internal strife, Su Feng, the "third leader", has a very high power.
In addition, the Lakers are a team with their own traffic, which is very beneficial to brand promotion and has a far better future than if Su Feng stayed in Chicago.
The most important thing is... Su Feng is now in a very comfortable position. He takes credit for the team's win, but the responsibility for the team's loss is not his.
However, at this time Su Feng faced a new challenge.
Nuggets head coach Bryzderrick replaced Rodney White on the court. He had high hopes for the No. 9 pick in 2001, hoping that he would use his taller stature to limit Su Feng.
Rodney is also waiting for an opportunity. He needs to prove that he still has talent that has not yet been realized.
Therefore, he stared at Su Feng like a wild wolf.
He said harsh words to Su Feng: "I will not be kind to you like Cameron, I will kick your ass. You will cry like Lindsay Lohan."
Su Feng looked at this tall forward who was half a head taller than himself and looked fierce.
He didn't understand why he wanted to provoke him.
Su Feng originally thought that his opponent was Carmelo Anthony, but after Anthony returned to half court to catch the ball, he singled out Luke Walton. Walton was no match for Anthony. Anthony deceived the defense with a quick cross step. Hit the basketball with a pull-up jump shot.
Luke Walton walked to the sideline angrily and handed the basketball to Gary Payton.
Payton dribbled the ball across half court, and then he passed the basketball to Su Feng.
Rodney White stood in front of Su Feng, and he showed his teeth and claws in a defensive posture.
Nuggets head coach Bryz Derek is a very defensive coach, and he saw Su Feng's outstanding performance in the first half. He believes that a tall forward should be allowed to contain the screens of Su Feng and Malone, especially when Su Feng goes to the basket to grab rebounds. If there is a tall forward blocking in front of him, he will not do what he wants.
He selected Rodney White, who was 2.05cm tall.
Su Feng suppressed the rhythm, and he even refused Ma Long's offer to come over to cover.
The basketball shuttled under Su Feng's crotch very quickly... Bang!
Su Feng beats the basketball with great force.
And, getting stronger and stronger!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Each hit was stronger than the one before, and the basketball hit the floor faster and faster... The orange shadow became harder and harder to capture.
Su Feng is showing off his basic skills.
The VIP audience on the sidelines were stunned.
Likewise, the panic building up in Rodney White's mind is spreading.
Because he didn't know what Su Feng was going to do next, he looked like he was stocking up on his ultimate move.
He must not be allowed to make this move.
Rodney White made a firm judgment. He moved forward quickly and even reached out to steal Su Feng.
call out!
The moment he raised his legs and stepped forward, the figure split apart, and Su Feng rushed past him like lightning.
At this time, Rodney realized: It was not that Anthony was deliberately trying to help his college classmate, but that he really couldn't defend himself.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Su Feng took a step forward from his left side like lightning. At the moment when Rodney reflexively retreated to pursue him, he braked and stopped suddenly.
Rodney staggered immediately. He forced his center of gravity to pause, but he was still shaking. After all, he was a forward with a height of 2.05 meters.
At this moment, Su Feng, who had stopped suddenly, quickly changed direction, from left to right... The fierce speed drove Rodney's conditioned pendulum... But his center of gravity could no longer withstand this kind of violence. The movement of left and right emergency stops and starts.
When Su Feng changed direction and made an emergency stop... poof!
Rodney White fell to the ground, extremely embarrassed.
Staples Arena erupted in a violent whirlwind of cheers and screams, and the VIP audience on the sidelines roared so loud that their tonsils were filled with blood.
In the storm of shouts, Su Feng lowered his head and glanced at Rodney. His face showed a look of "that's it." He flicked the basketball and the basketball accurately penetrated into the penalty area. Marcus Camby, who was defending O'Neal, also watching a play.
O'Neal grabs the basketball...boom!
Dunk.
The moment O'Neal dunked, Su Feng turned around and left gracefully.
In American terms: Real men never look back to see the explosion.
To explain it in the Chinese context: when the matter is over, leave it behind and hide your merit and fame.
Su Feng is so chic, his style is even more uninhibited than Rodney's. Because what his whole person showed was: you fell down before I even exerted any force, which was really disappointing.
Who do you think you are, you want to be compared with me?
Carmelo Anthony walked over and pulled Rodney White up. He breathed a sigh of relief. What he was thinking in his heart was: Damn, tonight’s top five goal scorer is finally not me.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
This is true everywhere.
The big screen overhead was replaying Su Feng's entire 'murder' process, and the cheers from Staples Arena came and went, like waves crashing over and over again.
Kobe Bryant raised his head and looked at Su Feng's entire offensive process. He felt that Su Feng was a bit like Allen Iverson.
However, at this time Gary Payton felt that Su Feng was becoming more and more like Michael Jordan.
Because he was standing next to Su Feng before, he heard Rodney White's provocation to Su Fong.
Immediately afterwards, Su Feng carried out this horrific massacre of ankles in revenge.
That's how Jordan is, and that's how Jordan will retaliate.
Anyone who crosses Jordan will be given a clown hat.
Gary Payton suffered from PTSD syndrome. He looked at Su Feng like he was looking at Jordan who was crazy and violent towards him.
Shaquille O'Neal ran over excitedly and gave Su Feng a high-five. He didn't expect to have his own role in such a great performance. He loves Su Feng's pass to death. He likes to be in the limelight. Being in the limelight is his deepest need, and anyone who can let him be in the limelight is a good person.
He put his arms around Su Feng's neck: "From now on, I will protect you!"
Su Feng smiled.
Karl Malone took action. When he was on his way back to the half court and saw Rodney White staring at Su Feng's back with vicious eyes, he walked over and issued a cold warning: "How dare you do something small to Tony? I will beat you to death."
Karl Malone's narration is straightforward, and his tone is not at all as elevated as that of the villain in the movie.
The terrifying pressure held Rodney down, and he even felt his breathing becoming short of breath.
Because Karl Malone raised his iron elbow slightly.
Rodney was very sad. He thought to himself: Why should this rookie be protected by a villain like Malone? Do I have to hold this breath in?
Yes.
He had to hold it in.
Who makes him a nobody?
The Nuggets did not arrange counterattack tactics for him. Andre Miller didn't even look at him at the top of the arc, and the basketball was passed to Anthony.
Anthony opened a single, attracted a double attack and passed the ball to Camby. Camby threw a shot under O'Neal's defense and missed... Bang!
Basketball and iron.
Coach Brizdelik shouted for a rebound from the sidelines. He forgot about the sadness of being knocked down. He rushed in to grab the rebound, but found that his lower plate was held up by Su Feng. He could not move. He did not expect that Su Feng The power is so strong.
He was also a rebounding monster during the NCAA era.
However, he could only watch the basketball flying towards this side. Then Su Feng stretched out his arm and reached up slightly to collect the backboard.
He had no room to rush.
Because Su Feng's super rebounding skills copied from Karl Malone have reached 86 points.
Su Feng got a backcourt rebound and wanted to pass it to Gary Payton, who was already running forward quickly.
Su Feng dribbled the ball across half court, and Payton ran to one side and automatically opened the defense.
"Why do I feel that Payton is a little afraid of Tony?" Lakers assistant coach Wenderson couldn't help but muttered.
"Is there any?" Phil Jackson asked.
"When Kobe holds the ball, he is not so honest and obedient. He always wants to hit two with his back." Winderson said straightforwardly.
Kobe next to him was so shocked that his fist was harder to press than AK.
But that seems to be the case. Gary Payton is running quite actively on one side, and those who don't know think he is a pure shooter.
Su Feng performed a surgical operation on Rodney's defense from the top of the arc, using a quick hip-to-the-ground killer crossover.
Rodney's center of gravity is simply not enough to defend this level of breakthrough at the top of the key.
He almost got knocked over again.
Strictly speaking, he is an insider.
But Su Feng is a super ball handler who can fly close to the ground.
How to prevent it?
Brizdelik never expected that Su Feng could handle the ball so well. What made him even more frustrated was that Rodney was half a head taller than Su Feng, but he still couldn't take advantage of rebounding.
Su Feng reached the free throw line, and Camby and Nene both shrank in the penalty area and could not come out.
They didn't guard Su Feng, so Su Feng directly invaded the penalty area. He jumped up violently. Nene couldn't help but cover up, and Su Feng passed the ball to Malone.
Malone caught the ball. If he had been young, he would have dunked long ago, but he is old now and his reaction was a beat slower... Camby made up for it, and Malone gave the basketball to O'Neal... Boom!
O'Neal dunked again.
"I have never played such an easy ball in my life." O'Neal said to Su Feng after dunking.
Beep!
The Nuggets requested a timeout.
At this time, Rodney White walked up to Su Feng and continued to speak cruelly: "I will definitely beat you up."
Su Feng smiled and said: "I also came from the bench. I am a small person, so stop pretending. It is more important to have a stable rotation time."
Su Feng's words were like a sharp knife stabbing directly into Rodney's heart, and he was pierced.
Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
