All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 7: The brutal '90s and the unpopular 3-pointer

Views:

For American high school students who love basketball, the most anticipated moment of the year is probably the start of the NA Finals.

Because... With the arrival of the finals, there is often a 3-month summer vacation.

Damn capitalism!

Su Feng couldn't help but secretly wipe a tear when he thought that he only had a two-week vacation when he was in the third year of high school in his previous life.

Because of the previous "shooting incident at school", the school specially arranged a final exam for Su Feng this time.

The final exams in American high schools are far less stringent than those in China, but they are more flexible. Of course, all of this is not a problem for Su Feng. After all, he is a top student when he goes abroad...

"Hey, if you don't play well, you can only speculate in stocks and become the richest man..." Su Feng thought to himself with emotion.

Of course, that kind of life is definitely not what Su Feng wants.

Because in Su Feng's opinion, since he has obtained a system that can help him realize his dream of NA in this life, and has encountered a humanoid plug-in like Kobe, what reason does he have not to play

And unlike others, after the rebirth through rebirth and the plug-in this time, Su Feng believes that there must be an invisible big hand controlling his own destiny.

If he didn't play football, Su Feng was afraid that he might die suddenly like the supporting characters written in Infinite Stream...

Therefore, reaching NA, becoming a basketball star, and marrying Bai Fumei have become Su Feng's firm goals.

On the 7th, it was the day when the G1 match of the 1993/94 NA Finals started. According to the agreement with Kobe, Su Feng appeared on time at the venue where he and Kobe usually practiced.

"By the way, why has no one else come to play in this field except us?" Su Feng asked curiously.

"Hmph, because this is my site." Kobe raised the corners of his mouth proudly, not to mention how arrogant he looked like that.

"If I hadn't been preparing for the exam for a while, how could you have played on my turf that day," Bryant added.

Looking at Kobe's expression, Su Feng probably guessed the truth...

That is to say, no one around here can beat Kobe Bryant. . . .

And with Kobe's unyielding determination to lose, he might grab you and fight him one-on-one for a day, so... If you can't afford it, why can't others hide

You know, in the United States, the most important thing is the basketball court... .

Because of the reason that he secretly observed Kobe's home last time, Su Feng knew that Kobe's home was not very far from this stadium, so Su Feng felt that he and Kobe were really destined.

At this time in 1994, because Kobe didn't know Vanessa yet, so naturally he didn't break up with his family. The Bryant family is probably a kind and filial father...

Kobe Bryant's father, Joe Bryant, was a former NA athlete, of course, one of the more aggressive...

When Kobe was a child, in order to support his family, Joe went to Italy, and he was stunned by the fans at that time, because Joe's style of play was gorgeous, especially his one-handed shot and back, he was quite handsome...

Later, after returning to the United States, when Kobe was a freshman in high school, Joe also worked as Kobe's coach, Emmmmm, and then no more...

In the future, many people will say that Kobe is imitating Jordan, but in fact... His handsome shooting is absolutely inseparable from his father's words and deeds.

"Hehe, is this the 'Philadelphia hero' that Kobe often mentioned to me recently?" As soon as Su Feng followed Kobe into the house, Kobe's father Joe happily walked over to Su Feng and Kobe.

It can be seen that Joe is quite happy that his son has finally made friends. After all, no parents want to see their children kept being isolated by other children...

When he saw Qiao walking towards him and Kobe, Su Feng felt that his eyes were suddenly darkened, because Qiao's height was as high as 207 cm. For the current Kobe and Su Feng, he was an uncompromising little giant.

"Well, the height is about the same as Kobe, the wingspan is good, the hips and waist are also good, the muscles are a little less, but the skeleton is good..." After hugging Kobe, when hugging Su Feng, Qiao He made a move on Su Feng and commented...

Su Feng: "..."

The American people are really warm and hospitable, but Su Feng always finds something strange...

Oh yes!

Su Feng remembered that when he brought a female ticket home in his previous life, the seven aunts and eight aunts often said: This girl has a good butt and can give birth to a son...

"Come on, boys, the TV is ready, and Pamela has prepared some exquisite snacks for you."

Qiao laughed and brought Kobe and Su Feng to the living room. Just when Su Feng was about to sit down, Qiao suddenly said, "Of course, as athletes, you are not allowed to drink Coke."

While talking, Qiao also opened a can of Coca-Cola in front of Su Feng and Kobe.

Su Feng and Kobe: "..."

Actually, Su Feng and Kobe didn't even want to drink Coke, but...

Su Feng suddenly felt that Kobe's withdrawn personality was probably not without reason.

"Su, which side are you more optimistic about?"

On the TV, the commentators had already started their routine preview before the finals. At this time, Kobe looked at Su Feng curiously and asked.

"Mosaic." Su Feng replied.

"Why? Don't you think this year's Knicks are very champions?" Kobe said with a puzzled look, because Kobe thought that Su Feng and himself would think the Knicks could win the championship...

"Because I think Hakim is stronger than Patrick. Although Hakim and Patrick have both wins and losses, in fact, Hakim always has the upper hand in the duel with Patrick." Su Feng explained.

"But the Knicks still have Starks, Oakley, Davis..." Kobe seemed a little dissatisfied, and read out a string of Knicks star names.

Su Feng shook his head with a smile on his face, "You are right, Kobe, in terms of overall configuration, the Knicks are indeed stronger, and Mosaic is at a disadvantage."

Hearing Su Feng's clothes softened, Kobe raised the corners of his mouth proudly, but he didn't expect Su Feng to continue: "But I still think that the small gap between Hakim and Patrick will determine the direction of this series. ."

Because of Jordan's retirement, the NA attention in the 1993/94 season has dropped a lot, but if you don't take any subjective evaluation, this season's NA Finals can be called a classic.

The first is the warring parties. The Knicks have the 85-year No. 1 draft pick and one of the four major centers, Gorilla Ewing, while Mosaic also has the 84-year No. 1 draft pick and the big dream Olajuwon, the first of the four centers.

Before the start of the game, judging from the lineup of both sides, the Knicks' configuration is indeed more dominant, but for Su Feng, who knows the results of this round of the series, Su Feng is very clear that on the surface, the better configuration of the Knicks will not be in the game. What a bargain in this series...

First of all, from the point of view of the shooting guard position, it seems that the Knicks have the nickname madman, the defense is excellent, and the star player John Starks is a three-pointer.

In the 1993/94 season, Starks averaged 19 points per game, and was selected to the All-Star team and the best defensive second team. In the future, Starks also won the best sixth man. right arm.

But on the Mosaic side, there is Fron Maxwell who can match Starks.

It seems that Starks is a star player, and Maxwell is just an ordinary starter. Even in Su Feng's previous life, many keyboard warriors who knew Maxwell were called "big men" by their peers, but the fact that they are not famous does not mean People have no strength.

As the absolute hero of Mosaic's two consecutive championships, Maxwell can attack and defend well. In this round of series, it is difficult for Starks, who is similar to Maxwell, to take advantage of Maxwell, because Maxwell belongs to the kind of Exchange player...

Unless you are an old hooligan or have two unique skills, you have to be pulled to 55 by him...

As for the Oakley mentioned by Kobe, as the "old hooligan" of the Knicks, Emmmmm, this person is a real "old hooligan", without any praise, purely derogatory...

Oakley's golf style is famous for being dirty. Of course, in the eyes of many iron-blooded elements, this kind of dirt was blown into cruelty and blood by them...

In short, Oakley is good at dealing with others, but against Da Meng

Don't be kidding, the big dream of this period, but even a certain shark that looks down on the world will give in to the existence of three points...

And the Knicks have Oakley, the Mosaic also has Robert Horry.

If you look at this series from the perspective of metaphysics, Horry is definitely the number one hero of Mosaic...

Because Su Feng, who knows the future, knows very well that Huo Li is simply one of NA's strongest weapons of causality...

In NA, with Horry...you have a 43.75% chance of winning the championship.

With a 16-year career and 7 championships, Horry's luck will be understood as long as it is a friend who has seen NA.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, the Knicks only seem to have an advantage, but in fact they are 55 open to Mosaic...

As the two teams have similar lineups and similar strengths, Big Dream will dominate this series.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Knicks successfully captured Tianwang Mountain when the first four battles between the two sides were 2-2. The situation was very good.

However, in the G6 war, at the last countdown moment of the game, Olajuwon made a decision that changed the trajectory of his destiny.

At that time, the Knicks, who had the ball and had a chance to kill the series, passed the ball to Starks at the last minute...

As a result, Da Meng suddenly gave up his match-up defense against Ewing and went straight to Starks, who got a three-pointer on the outside.

After the game, Olajuwon once explained this, "They are as eager for the championship as we are, as long as they make that goal (referring to Starks' lore three-pointer), they will be the championship, so I I firmly believe that John (Starks) will definitely shoot."

Big Dream's decision changed history.

Starks really shot as he expected.

This time, Olajuwon did not see the championship slip away as he did in his college years.

Olajuwon touched this lore of Starks, but the lore of Starks was unsuccessful, and Mosaic crossed the line of death in a thrilling way, making the total score of the two teams 3-3.

As a result, in the seventh game, affected by the failure of the G6 lore, Starks was in no state. The audience made 0 of 11 three-pointers, and "helped" the Mosaic team to win the championship in one go.

Replaying this round of the finals, the big dream can be said to have truly carried the entire team on its shoulders. No matter which side of the offense and defense, you can see Olajuwon's figure, but Ewing, on the other hand, may be the answer. That's what people say...

It's just bad breath!

So this is why Su Feng believes that the tiny gap between Olajuwon and Ewing will determine the direction of this series.

However, Kobe was not very impressed with Su Feng's explanation, and Su Feng, who was familiar with Kobe's character, did not continue to argue with Kobe...

It was Kobe's father, Joe, who thought Su Feng was a very interesting child.

"It's bloody..." Su Feng couldn't help sighing as the 93/94 season finals kicked off.

"Too brutal..." At this moment, Kobe and Su Feng agreed.

The 1993/94 season NA finals will be called "flesh and bloody finals" by many people in the future, because in this seven-game series, no game has scored 100 points, and the highest score in a single game is 93 points... ...

The players of the two teams not only contributed to the pleasant sound of hammering, but also the inside hand-to-hand combat like wrestling was even more tragic...

"Sure enough, it's right to be able to draw..." Looking at the picture on the TV, Su Feng swore that before the Hand.Check rule becomes No.Hand.Check, there will never be his presence in the insider. …

It is impossible to break through. You can only rely on dry pulling and forging iron to barely maintain a living. People who can pull out can speak nicely. Su Feng really likes dry pulling...

As we all know, the reason for the high defensive intensity of NA during this period is inseparable from the Hand.Check rule.

Simply put, this rule is that you can put your hand on the offensive player when defending, which makes it impossible for the perimeter player to play without three or two unique skills.

Because your breakthrough will be greatly restricted by the defensive player, for example, under the Hand.Check rule, the attacking player's breakthrough difficulty is roughly twice that of the No.Hand.Check rule...

Why did Boss Qiao practice shooting hard in the middle and late stages of his career, and practiced his one-handed shot and turning over and back to be superb

That's because shooting is the least affected perimeter offense by the Hand.Check rule.

After all, if you throw, pull, and flip while holding the ball, your opponents often don’t even have time to reach them.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people echoed what they said, thinking that the reason why people didn't like to shoot 3s in the 1990s was because of the Hand.Check rule...

In fact, this is a misleading statement.

In fact, in the near future, after NA shortens the three-point line, do you think the league teams will not shoot three-pointers

You know, during that time, even Boss Joe voted for a fun...

To put it bluntly, during this period, the 3-point shot was a new rule that the league just introduced, and everyone was very resistant to the 3-point shot.

In the case of Larry Bird, even Bird himself didn't like the 3-point shot very much, because the players at the time felt that the 3-point shot was a show of skill.

Like if NA adds 4-pointers tomorrow, it will definitely take a while for a lot of teams to get used to the new rules.

Even until Su Feng's previous life, when the Warriors won the championship for the first time, many experts before the game believed that a team that could only shoot would not go far.

Therefore, the main reason why people did not like to shoot three-pointers in the 1990s was the difference in the concept of the times. Just like when you traveled back and told your friends in the 1990s, in the future, you can go out without having to bring money, just bring your mobile phone, he I feel like you're insane...

Today's people's acceptance of new things is far less fast than the human beings who will come to the Internet age in the future.

Of course, anyway, the Hand.Check rule is definitely the perimeter killer of this period...

"The people of the 1990s... were too brutal!" Su Feng exclaimed.

S: Congratulations to Mingke Shengxue for being crowned leader!

S2: This chapter is as long as the title! Keep asking for it! Love you long poor Qiao respect! In the author's words, there is a list of thanks and appreciation...
