Chapter 757 It’s a Cliché, Who in the World Is Not Maple Syrup?

I have to say, Maple Dog...ah, Maple God is really destroying Erha's family tonight, and there is no way to stop him.

On the sidelines, on the bench of the Jazz, Old Hornacek discovered that the gods in the sky seemed to have turned off their mobile phones. In the first quarter of the game, the more devoutly he prayed on the sidelines, the more Su Feng on the court became The more brave and unstoppable he becomes.

But goose...

You may not believe it.

Su Feng was not very satisfied with his performance in the first quarter tonight.

Energy Solutions Arena.

After the first quarter, Su Feng made 10 of 14 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 free throws. Su Feng scored a total of 27 points and 4 rebounds for the Lakers.

Admittedly, the shooting percentage of 10-for-14 is barely passable.

But when I think about myself who scored 30+ points in a single quarter on the court, and Klay and Love who scored 30+ points in a single quarter in my memory...

Su Feng immediately felt a sense of loss in his heart that he was no longer at his peak.

"Outrageous! How outrageous did I have to be to be able to score 30+ points in a single quarter in a game?

And Klay and Love...

Are they playing in the same NBA as me? "

In this life, after experiencing the NBA personally, Su Feng has just realized how "science fiction" every NBA historical record is.

So whenever people in the world always regard themselves as gods...

Su Feng, who has always been modest and cautious, will only feel more and more that his current strength is not enough for him to block the path of these young people in the future.

Work hard, work hard, work harder!

Only by paying hard work can we accomplish the great task of driving heavy trucks to block roads!

In the second quarter of the game, considering that the cost of Su Feng's shots this night was much higher than in the previous two games, Director Lu decisively held down Su Feng, who was almost like a bastard moving away.

"Don't worry, we won't be able to defeat this knight that easily."

As a coach who is very good at helping players score on the court, Director Lu knew that instead of letting Su Feng, who spent a lot of energy trying to force shots in the first quarter, continue to score points inefficiently, it would be better to let him rest for a short period of time. time.

And in recent games, Su Feng has been performing high-intensity running and shooting.

Therefore, even if Su Feng's physical ability is different from ordinary people, in Director Lu's opinion, he still has to use it leisurely.

After all, sustainable fishing can give Su Feng enough physical strength to face the next challenge.

On the court, in the second quarter, after "23+24" went off the court at the same time, the Lakers' five-man team on the court was DeAndre Jordan, Big Ben, Walton, Mohamed, and Livingston.

The Jazz are Okur, Yi Jianlian, Moon, Gordon and Price.

Originally, before the start of the second quarter, Hornacek Sr. suggested to Sloan that Williams, who was in equally good form tonight and scored 13 points in the first quarter, stay on the court.

However, looking at the elder Hornacek, Sloan smiled slightly and said: "I know what you are worried about, but I can bet you $10 that Su will not appear at the beginning of the second quarter tonight."

Old Hornacek shook his head repeatedly, feeling that his teacher might be really confused.

Because since Su Feng reached his peak, even Yun fans know that "Su Feng will not rest in the second quarter" has become a must-have vocabulary for reporters after the game.

But......

On the court, after noticing that Su Feng really didn't play at the beginning of the second quarter...

Old Hornacek was instantly petrified on the spot!

"Haven't you noticed that Su has taken more than 40 shots in the last three games?" Sloan asked, patting the elder Hornacek on the shoulder.

Old Hornacek nodded, "But isn't that because Su is in good condition?"

Sloan let out a long sigh, "They say you are the smartest player in the history of the Jazz, but why are you so stupid at this time?

The Lakers this season are not the Lakers last season.

Even if Su's condition is really that good, the Lakers' best way to win is to use him to mobilize other teammates after he attracts double-teams.

In addition, including this game with us, it is undoubtedly a high probability that Su will take more than 40 shots tonight.

And 40 shots in 4 consecutive games...

Haven't you realized what this means? "

Old Hornacek was confused by Sloan's question for a moment.

"This means that the entire Lakers team is now trying to find ways to help Sue hit Wilt Chamberlain's record of the fewest games with 30,000 points!

So, let's say I'm the Lakers coach.

Since Su's physical exertion in the first quarter tonight is much higher than in the previous games, I will definitely arrange for him to rest first. "Looking at old Hornacek, Sloan continued.

Old Hornacek: "..."

The minimum number of games used to score 30,000 points?

"Teacher, you mean...he plans to score more than 67 points in every game in the next games?" Pointing at Su Feng sitting on the Lakers bench, Hornacek looked surprised. said.

Sloan nodded, "Jeff, don't treat Su like an ordinary person.

Because he is already extraordinary.

Oh, by the way, when are you going to give me the $1,000 you just lost in a bet? "

Old Hornacek: "..."

teacher! Wasn’t it $10 that I just bet with you?

Are you really confused?

On the sidelines, he turned to look at Abby, who was shaking her long legs and eating potato chips. Old Sloan said to her meaningfully: "Abby, when you grow up, you must never Just like your dad, he is not trustworthy at all."

Old Hornacek: "......"

have to!

At this time, old Hornacek didn't know whether Sloan was really confused or was deliberately using his confusion to "suck" and deceive his 45-year-old young comrade.

On the field, the game continues.

The Lakers, who led the Jazz 38-37 in the first quarter, did not slow down because of the removal of "23+24".

According to the requirements of "new mad scientist" Van Gundy, in the early stages of the second quarter, you can even say that every player on the Lakers field is Harden.

Anyway, as long as it is a defense that can be solved with "eyes"...

Then if you do it, I will lose!

Both Arab League and Gordon performed very well in the early stages of this quarter.

The former wiped out his budget twice and transformed into "Space Yi" under the Lakers basket.

The latter hit three three-pointers in succession from the outside, giving the Jazz the lead in one fell swoop.

In Su Feng's previous life, he was the first man in the post-Jordan era of the Bulls to give Fengcheng hope of rising...

Ben Gordon, who has played as a super substitute for the Bulls all year round, averaged around 20 points per game at the peak of his career.

Moreover, this guy has a three-point shooting rate of over 40% in his career.

In addition, because many of Gordon's three-pointers were made after one-on-one, even if he has never been selected as an All-Star, his visibility and popularity are even higher than some All-Star players.

In this life, Gordon's career trajectory is destined to be rewritten by Sloan.

Because he plays in a more military-oriented Jazz team, Sloan, who trained Gordon as the successor of "Death Gun" Hornacek, will only arrange for Gordon to use his talent to attack for the Jazz when tactics require it.

In this way, Gordon's risk of injury on the court will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

"Since your three-pointers are so accurate, why are you still thinking about driving to the basket?"

Unlike many old-school coaches, Sloan is by no means a coach who doesn't know how to adapt.

For example, Su Feng remembered the battle of the century between the Jazz and the Golden State Gang.

Sloan, who has always been considered a die-hard, gave the world a slap in the face with his backhand, run-and-gun versus run-and-gun.

Therefore, as far as Ben Gordon's actual height is at most 189 centimeters...

Even if he can use his talent to break in, who can be frightened by his finishing rate at the basket that is less than 50%?

In Su Feng's original time and space, although his height was limited, if Gordon could change his playing style early, then with his precise shooting, he would definitely not fade out of the league early.

Moreover, whether you look at Malone, Stockton, Hornacek, Russell...

Or look at the careers of Debbie, Kirilenko, Boozer and others who will suffer serious injuries after leaving the Jazz in the future. It is not difficult to find that, with a few exceptions, the players who played under Sloan are generally relatively "good". longevity".

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, Sloan's military-like management limited the players' natural instincts on the court.

But Sloan, who eats more salt than most rice, isn't he protecting the careers of these players?

The most intuitive example of Su Feng's previous life is that after leaving the Jazz, he started to let himself go and used the difficult change of direction without restriction in the game.

True.

In the first few dozen games after leaving the Jazz, De Xiaopang proved that without Sloan's restrictions, he could easily achieve 20+ stably on the court.

But after those dozens of games, Jianghu no longer had the legend of eating, sleeping and beating Paul.

In the NBA, a league of winners and losers.

Jerry Sloan may never be able to wear a ring on his whole hand like Jackson and show off his triangle offense to everyone in his life.

However, under his leadership, the Utah Jazz, the team with the lowest presence in the NBA, have become a team that you can beat but can never defeat in the past 24 years on the Utah plateau with its unique style. Team.

In Su Feng's original time and space, Mosaic led by Van Gundy did not lose unfairly.

Because at that time, Van Gundy, who had not seen himself clearly in the commentary box, how could he know...

Sloan knows the Mosaic team he coaches far better than he does?

In the second quarter, with 7 minutes and 47 seconds left, the Lakers changed back to "23+24".

In this quarter, after the Jazz cut off the connection between themselves and Kobe through faster rotation and movement, Su Feng knew that Sloan's meaning tonight was already obvious...

That is, if you want to score, you can.

But you have to be one-on-one with our guys.

"Teacher, do we really not need to double-team Su?" Old Hornacek asked from the Jazz bench on the sidelines.

Sloan shook his head, "It's enough to cut off Su's connection with his teammates and limit his off-ball movement."

Hearing this, Old Hornacek knew that Sloan's implication was that once the Jazz double-teamed Su Feng during the game, Su Feng could easily lead other teammates.

Because in order to limit Su Feng's off-ball movement and cut off the connection between him and his teammates, at this moment, except for Kirilenko, who was replaced on the court at the same time as Su Feng, the other four Jazz players must pay close attention to the rest of the Lakers. Player movements.

But......

Teacher, didn't you just tell me that Su wanted to attack Chamberlain's record?

Therefore, in front of the record, can Su really pass the ball?

Looking at Hornacek Sr. with a confused look on his face, Sloan relieved him with just one sentence, "Are we only going to play this one game with the Lakers this season?"

yes.

With Su Feng feeling extremely good, no coach or team could guarantee whether Su Feng would kill them alive.

But what if it's in the playoffs?

In the seven games that determine the outcome, if Su Feng is this bad every time, can the Lakers really beat the Jazz, who can even put together a stronger starting lineup than the Timberwolves and Mosaic from the bench?

“Although Andre doesn’t speak English well, his character is stronger than you think.

And I don't think we can win this game when the Lakers only want to score points for Su. "Pointing to the scoreboard where Gordon led the team to take the lead in the second quarter, Sloan continued.

At the Energy Solution Arena, Su Feng, who was in excellent form tonight, was indeed scoring continuously.

However, the Jazz were also scoring when the Lakers' defense was undefended.

In fact, Sloan never thought about how to restrict Su Feng from the beginning.

Because since the Jazz back then couldn't control the Bulls...

What's more, it's the Jordan Plus version of Su Feng?

On the court, after half a quarter, the Jazz, with everyone on their side, led by 7 points entering the second half.

The first half score of the two teams was 71 to 78.

Su Feng, who was in great form in the first quarter, also scored 18 points in the second quarter.

After the intermission, in the third quarter, the Lakers turned off their previous defensive mode under the "glaring eyes" and "death glare" of Su Feng and Kobe.

It's just like the warning Van Gundy gave when he proposed an all-out offensive plan to Coach Lu.

This unrestrained style of play will certainly attract fans more.

But at the same time, once the opponent's condition and feel are improved by the Lakers in the game...

The Lakers will undoubtedly lose the stability of their previous games.

Since ancient times, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Especially in the long NBA season, no team can never lose a game.

Unfortunately......

The sky outside this Lakers window is not blue.

There's no Westbrook in the sky either.

Maybe, if he keeps brushing so stubbornly, Su Feng will indeed be able to hit 80+ again tonight.

But Su Feng, who has always won games and collected statistics, has never forgotten his original intention of playing basketball.

No matter how beautiful the data is, if you can't win, what's the point?

Last season, Su Feng experienced enough empty cuts.

Moreover, if he loses a game that is obviously winnable because he insists on fighting to the end...

I'm afraid Su Feng will be the first to be unable to forgive himself after the game.

Energy Solutions Arena.

Midway through the third quarter.

After the Lakers took advantage of the triangle offense and Kobe Bryant scored a picturesque fadeaway, the elder Sloan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sure enough, even if I kicked Karl out, I should have thought There is a way to draft Sue to Utah with a higher pick."

Old Hornacek: Teacher, if Malone heard what you said, I'm afraid he would faint in the toilet from crying!

"Well, even if I have to add you, I should choose Su to Utah." Turning to look at Hornacek, Sloan smiled.

Old Hornacek: "..."

teacher!

Don't think that since you are old now, you can rely on your old age and we, the apprentices, won't dare to jump up and beat you!

"But, teacher, is there any difference between Kobe's score and Su's score?" Looking at Sloan, the elder Hornacek asked.

“Essentially it’s all about scoring.

But the meaning is completely different. "Old Sloan sighed.

A completely different meaning?

Of course it’s different!

Because as Kobe began to score, other Lakers players no longer forced the ball to Su Feng. At this moment, the Jazz's defensive system on the court immediately went into chaos.

On the basketball court, no matter how strong an individual is in scoring, it is impossible for him to score 27 points in every quarter.

Especially when Su Feng's cost of action is getting higher and higher tonight.

However, it is not difficult for an excellent team to average 27 points per quarter.

In the NBA, you often see a player score 20 points in the first quarter, and then only have more than 20 points after the whole game.

However, after a team scores 20 points in the first quarter, will it only end the game with just over 20 points?

Why is basketball a team sport?

Because no matter how strong an individual is, it is impossible to compare efficiency with a team.

…

In the end, after chasing desperately from the middle of the third quarter to the end of the fourth quarter, the Lakers took the lead with a three-pointer by Dragic, who had been playing soy sauce.

At the last moment, Williams, who performed well in this game, failed to seize the opportunity.

8.4 seconds before the end, as Williams's desperate three-pointer missed the basket, Su Feng, who relied on his true ability to protect the backcourt rebounds for the Lakers, used his always solid free throws to seal the victory for the Lakers.

In the whole game, the score of the two teams was 127 to 122.

Su Feng, who scored 45 points in the first half, only scored 23 points in the second half.

Kobe Bryant had his first triple-double in the game after returning from injury, scoring a total of 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the Lakers.

After the game, the elder Hornacek was uncomfortable.

Because after the timer reached zero in the final quarter, he saw Abby crash into Su Feng's arms.

Although in Mi Li's family, considering the relationship between Su Feng and Abby, this level of hug is not news...

But if he hadn't been held back by old Sloan, it was very possible that old Hornacek would have done it to Su Feng.

"Jeff, do you know the biggest difference between me and your daughter and you?" Sloan said with a smile, turning to look at the old Hornacek.

Old Hornacek shook his head.

"That is, we are all maple syrup."

On the court, looking at Su Feng walking towards the Jazz bench and shaking hands and hugging Jazz players one by one, Sloan Sloan immediately opened his arms and hugged Su Feng tightly.

Old Hornacek: "..."

"When I retire in the future, I will definitely let the owner of the Jazz retire your No. 23 jersey." On the court, pinching the elbow that he had fantasized about for twelve years, Sloan Sloan looked up at Su Feng and said with a smile.

Su Feng did not refuse Old Sloan's kindness, "But if you continue to pinch me like this, I may retire before you."

Hearing this, Old Sloan smiled and punched Su Feng in the chest, "With such a strong body like yours, how could I, an old guy like you, let you retire with just a pinch?"

Su Feng nodded with a smile, but just when he turned around and was about to hug old Hornacek...

But he clearly saw hostility in the other party's eyes.

and......

During the hug, old Hornacek actually used all his strength to hug him, as if he wanted to hug himself to pieces.

Therefore, Su Feng, who felt that the elder Hornacek might have some misunderstanding with him, took the initiative to propose to him: "I heard that in addition to basketball, Abby is also a volleyball star in their school.

As it happens, I know a lot of good volleyball coaches, so I can recommend a few to Abby if she needs them. "

Old Hornacek: "..."

I really want to keep Abby away from you...

Why do you actually want to approach her in this way?

"I think it's a good idea."

However, before Old Hornacek could refuse, Abby and Sloan raised their hands and feet to vote in favor.

Old Hornacek: "..."

no way.

Although the three views between China and the United States are not consistent, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net But as an old father whose daughter has just grown up...

I wonder who hasn’t worried about their daughter during her growth?

However, Old Hornacek really misunderstood Su Feng.

Because for him who grew up watching Abby...

He just regarded Abby as the niece next door.

That night, bidding farewell to the Utah Plateau, Su Feng and his teammates took a plane to Phoenix City overnight.

And there...

Except his adorable brother Trish is waiting for him...

A shocking deal that has been planned for a long time...

It has also entered the final stage of discussing details.
