I Really Just Want to Hit the Iron

Faced with the aggressive posture of the Raptors after the opening, the Suns coach Skyles saw that the situation was not good and had to take a timeout.

However, after the timeout, what made Skiles feel desperate was that in the face of the Raptors tonight, his strategy of relying on ground to determine victory was simply not working.

This season, the Suns' number one and number two scorers are Clifford Robinson at the small forward position and "Penny" Hardaway at the shooting guard position.

In previous matches, Kidd will use his excellent overall situation to create a comfortable singles environment for the two when they are on the ground.

In addition, Kidd can also connect the team's offense through his matchup advantage.

However, when facing the Raptors...

The "trident" of the sun now seems to be the only halberd left by Kidd.

First of all, Robinson, who is "208" cm tall, looks like a poor man's Durant in terms of style.

With long hands and long feet, he can basically form a natural dislocation when facing other small forwards in the league.

But tonight when he met Su Feng, an old tortured queen, Robinson discovered that his current situation can only be described as "immobile".

Compared with the future Durant, Robinson's offensive ability with the ball and the ability to attack are not insoluble.

Therefore, when defending this product, Su Feng adopted the most direct "don't let you catch the ball" tactic.

On the one hand, this can increase the difficulty for Robinson when receiving the ball, and on the other hand, this strategy can also ensure that Robinson can't take an offensive on the side defending Su Feng the first time after receiving the ball.

In basketball games, the taller side will indeed have the advantage, but Su Feng, who has amazing athletic ability, has a game understanding far above Robinson.

Secondly, although Francis once made McGrady unable to take care of himself during the previous game with the Nets, facing Kidd, this situation has been reversed tonight.

In normal games, Kidd can always use his solid body to bully a small guard like Nash.

However, in the face of McGrady tonight, Kidd's many advantages have turned into disadvantages.

It is true that Kidd at this moment can still kill the Raptors through his control of the rhythm.

But here comes the problem...

With Kidd, a halberd without a fork, even if McGrady lets him score, can he score 30, 40 and kill the Raptors?

The answer is naturally impossible.

To put it bluntly, compared to the difference in strength, the Raptors' restraint in playing style and players is what Skels can't break even if he catches his head.

On the court, facing Carter, Hardaway's jumper once again deviated from the basket.

In many cases, people only know how to cherish when they are lost.

On this night when Hardaway is destined to feel more heart-wrenching, you may not believe it. What he misses most is not his talent that was destroyed by him...

It's the tall and mighty figure who can always shield him from wind and rain at critical moments.

If there was that shark that was invincible in the world, in Hardaway's eyes, how could he be pushed to the ground by Carter in front of him?

This season, in Phoenix, Hardaway is re-welcoming the second spring of his career.

Relying on Kidd's series and the tactics that Skiles designed for him, he not only averaged a score per game, but he also shot a career-high 47.4% shooting rate after breaking up with O'Neal.

However, whenever Hardaway secretly turns on the TV and looks at the number 8 of Staples...

He is 29 years old, but his eyes are full of 23 years old himself.

That is the beautiful looking back of the years, the moving nature of time.

Returning to the silent Orlando, the hustle and bustle of Staples, the Phoenix who was reborn in desperation, when the years turned quietly, the 29-year-old Hardaway stood here, but...

But he can no longer catch up with the self.

Recently, Hardaway has often heard people say that Su Feng and Carter are Jordan and Pippen of this era.

But in Hardaway's view, those who say such things probably haven't even watched the match between Jordan and Pippen.

But tonight, even the arrogant Hardaway has to admit...

Times have changed.

In the 96/97 season, when he first played against Su Feng, Hardaway felt that Su Feng was very familiar.

And this feeling, he also felt once when he first played against Kobe.

Later, Hardaway didn't react until Kobe told the story of the year in an interview...

Here...

In the old days, he was the unreachable superstar in the eyes of two Raul Merion teenagers.

But now, the two teenagers who had been rejected by him for autographs had turned into legends of tomorrow who could not catch up no matter how he pursued them.

Hedong for thirty years, Hexi for thirty years.

It is better to bully the white-headed man than to bully the young poor.

Huh——!

On the field, just as Hardaway's emotions have passed, the Raptors' counterattack has advanced to the Suns' halftime in a blink of an eye.

Suka connection again!

Carter's state tonight is as he said.

After receiving the pie from Su Feng, Carter pulled it up and threw it.

0 to 9!

Looking back, the Sun attacked, and Langley became an "inner ghost" again.

This ball, because Langley's pick-and-roll is too slow, so where is the Raptors player he blocked?

Kidd, who was blocked by Langley's only breakthrough route, had no choice but to hang the ball to Gugliota.

However, under O'Neill's close attention, Gugliota waited for a while, but chose to throw the pot.

On the flank, Robinson cried.

Not...

Brothers, even if you want to pass the ball to me, pass it early!

In just a few seconds, don't you think that I can really break through Su Feng's wall of sighs?

Snapped--!

This time, Su Feng didn't even give Robinson the opportunity to shoot.

After reaching out and cutting off the basketball in Robinson's hands, Su Feng took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and again assisted Carter to complete a dunk.

0 to 11!

Nearly 20,000 fans at the Airline Center Arena were already drunk.

Wangtian, are we watching the dunk contest?

On the sidelines, the Suns coach Skyles felt that if he continued to fight like this, the Suns would definitely be slaughtered by the Raptors tonight.

So, with the idea of ​​limiting the Raptors' fast break anyway, Skyles hurriedly called Marion, who was repairing the drinking fountain.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Skyles replaced Langley with Marion and played C with Gugliota instead.

After Marion played, the Suns were significantly better than before in both offense and defense.

In order to show himself, Marion, who does not own the ball in his own play style, ran around with O'Neal like a crazy dog ​​when attacking.

In turn, when defending, Marion also actively assisted with supplementary defense, giving his teammates a chance to slow the Raptors' offensive rhythm.

Su Feng's previous life, Marion, nicknamed "The Hacker", even played a cameo as a center when Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season.

He is amazing in athletic ability, and he may seem ugly, but he is the mainstay player who can raise the lower limit of the team.

You know, in Su Feng's "Pippen list", this product can even rank in the top five.

However, the disadvantage of the sun tonight cannot be recovered by Marion alone.

In the first quarter of the game, as the Raptors' main attacker tonight, Carter has been completely hilarious.

With Su Feng's help, how comfortable is Carter's living environment tonight?

In the first quarter of the game, Carter, who made 8 of 12 shots, had 22 points after including free throws.

And Su Feng also contributed a career-high 7 assists in a single quarter.

With a score of 23 to 39, the Raptors led by 16 points into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, when noticing the Raptors, Su Feng and Carter were not resting...

Not to mention how much Sun coach Skyles wants to curse.

Not...

Brother John, we have no grudges with you, do we need to beat us to death like this?

Gang Zhen, that is, Skyles now has no swords in his hands, otherwise, tonight, Pat Riley's offer of John Davis, he Skyles has decided!

On the court, in the second quarter of the game, in order to prevent the runaway Carter, the Suns had to tighten the inside line.

However, as an outside star in the new era, Carter is more than just abrupt.

This season, although Carter's eight-fold mirror was thrown into the river at the beginning of the season, but under Grover's whip education, after playing in March, Carter's season three-point shooting percentage has recovered to That's 39%.

In the second quarter of the game, relying on Davis's elaborate three-point tactics for himself, Carter made 4 of 4 three-point shots, plus two mid-range shots, and scored 16 points in a single quarter.

TNT TV, watching Carter, who had already scored 38 points at halftime, Smith said bluntly: "This Raptors is too strong, because even if you can guard against Sue, you may not be able to control Vince. ."

On the side, Derek also said: "In this game, Vince feels very hot. With his state tonight, it is entirely possible for him to score 60+."

I have to say that Carter's condition tonight is so good that Su Feng's expectation.

Of course, as a mature leader, Su Feng would not be jealous of his deputy.

"Did you see, Seth, I said it a long time ago, as long as Uncle Vince has a chance, he can do what'Uncle Melon' can do!"

On the Raptors bench, Stephen Curry, who was sitting behind old Curry, said excitedly to his brother.

At this moment, Su Feng, who happened to be passing by, suddenly became calm.

What does it mean that as long as Carter is given a chance, what I can do, he can also do it?

Not...

As the son of Dale Curry, the MVP of labor and management, can you be a little bit professional in your comments?

In terms of my scoring output environment, he Carter compares with me?

So, just like that, Su Feng made a note for Stephen Curry on his own notebook.

No hurry, no hurry.

After you enter the league in the future, I have time to play with you.

...

During the intermission, although Stephen Curry had given him a heart attack, Su Feng did not want to trip Carter because of this.

However, in the third quarter, the weakness of the card characteristics restricted his play.

With 38 points at halftime, Carter began to increase his passes in the third quarter and through pulling, created many opportunities for the team.

In Su Feng's previous life, Carter has only won 50+ twice in his career. Among the top four shooting guards, many fans believe that Carter's crit rate is much lower than the other three.

But in fact, in many games where Carter feels good, Carter will not be like the other three and do it by himself after knocking out the pass button.

Because of his early education in North Carolina, Carter has already developed this team-oriented style of play.

So even if he had the opportunity to go to a blitz like Su Feng tonight, his habit would tell him that this approach was wrong.

From the team level, Carter's style of play can give other teammates more game experience.

But from his personal level, this style of play will make him miss a lot of famous scenes.

In addition, Carter's personality and style of play also destined him to be more suitable for being a second master, rather than a master.

Because sometimes, as the leader of the team, there are some balls, even if you know that you are not playing this way, you have to play that way.

In LOL game terminology, as long as you don’t ban my Senna, then I will not only choose to show it to you, but I will also send your Draven to fly if you choose it later.

On the court, after three quarters, Carter finally handed over 19 of 30 shots, including 7 of 12 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, 53 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.

In the last quarter of the game, because the Suns had fallen behind the Raptors by as much as 30 points, the two teams replaced them with "hot chicken players" for training.

As Carter's "cake contractor" this night, Su Feng contributed 20 points, 17 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, in addition to his eighth triple-double of the season, Su Feng also set a career high with 17 assists in a single game.

In the end, 89 to 129, after beating the Suns by 40 points at home, the Raptors are one step closer to making history.

After the game, on TNT TV, Smith said with emotion: "As long as Carter has enough ball rights, he can do whatever he wants on the court. The overall strength of this Raptors is really unfathomable."

On the side, Derek said: "Su's organizational performance in this game also allows us to see that he is becoming more comprehensive~www.wuxiaspot.com~ To be honest, he is already the best in the league. Outside player."

At the press conference, Carter, who scored 50+, was in a good mood. In an interview, he not only expressed his gratitude to the coach and teammates, but also mentioned that Su Feng, as the team leader, was in front of the stage. Behind the scenes help to this Raptors.

"This season, everything we have achieved is inseparable from Su's support for us. Although he is still very young, his experience is very rich.

On and off the court, he is the absolute leader of this team. "

There is a saying that after this night, some people's paths narrowed, but some people's paths widened.

"Vince is too humble, in my opinion, his scoring ability is not below me.

I think our opponents in the playoffs have a headache, because they can't use four people to defend me and Vince, right? "After the game, Su Feng said jokingly in an interview.
