I really just want to strike

Because he was already extraordinary.

Oh, by the way, when are you going to give me the $1000 you just bet against me? "

Old Hornacek: "..."

teacher!Didn't I bet you $10 just now?

Are you really confused?

On the sidelines, looking back at Abby who was shaking her long legs and eating potato chips, old Sloan said to him meaningfully: "Abby, when you grow up, don't Like your father, he doesn't talk about credit at all."

Old Hornacek: "..."

Got it!

Now the old Hornacek doesn't know whether Sloan is really confused, or whether he is deliberately using his confusion to "suction" and deceive his 45-year-old young comrade.

On the field, the game continues.

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

According to the requirements of the "new mad scientist" Van Gundy, at the beginning of the second quarter, you can even say that everyone on the Lakers field is Harden.

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

Then I will lose if I do it!

Both UAE and Gordon played very well at the beginning of this quarter.

The former wiped out the big book twice, and became "Space Yi" under the Lakers' basket.

The latter scored 3 three-pointers in succession from the outside, and the Jazz overtook the score in one fell swoop.

In Su Feng's previous life, as the first man in the Jordan era after the Bulls, Fengcheng saw the hope of rising...

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

Moreover, this product has a career three-point shooting rate of more than 40%.

In addition, since many of Gordon's three-pointers were shot one-on-one, even if he has never been selected as an All-Star, his popularity and popularity are even higher than some All-Star players at this moment.

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

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

In this way, Gordon's risk of injury on the court is undoubtedly 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 an inflexible coach.

For example, the battle of the century between the jazz and the Jinzhou gang in Su Feng's memory.

Sloan, who has always been considered a diehard, slapped the world with his backhand.

Therefore, in terms of Ben Gordon's actual height of up to 189 cm...

Even if he can use his talent to get there, who can he scare with his less than 5 percent finishing rate at the rim?

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

Moreover, whether looking at Malone, Stockton, Hornacek, Russell...

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

Perhaps, in some people's eyes, Sloan's military management limited the players' nature on the court.

But Sloan, who eats more salt than most meals, is not protecting the careers of these players?

In Su Feng's previous life, the most intuitive example is that after leaving the Jazz, he began to let himself go, and used the difficult direction-changing De Xiaopang unlimitedly in the game.

True.

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

But after those dozens of games, the world has since lost the legend of eating, sleeping and beating Paul.

In the NBA, a league of winners and losers.

Jerry Sloan may not be able to wear a ring on his entire hand like Jackson in his entire life, showing off his triangle offense to everyone.

However, the Utah Jazz, the team with the lowest sense of existence in the NBA, under his leadership, in the Utah Plateau, with its unique style, has become a team that you can beat but can never be defeated in the past 24 years team.

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

Because at that time, Van Gundy, who hadn't seen himself clearly in the commentary booth, knew...

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

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

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

That is, to score, yes.

But you have to go one-on-one with our players.

"Teacher, don't we really need to double-team Su?" Old Hornacek asked on the sidelines, on the Jazz's bench.

Sloan shook his head. "It's enough to cut off Sue's connection with his teammates and limit his movement without the ball."

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

Because in order to limit Su Feng's running without the ball and cut off the connection between him and his teammates, at this moment, except for Kirilenko who was brought back to 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 movement.

But......

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

So, in front of the record, would Su really pass the ball?

Looking at the old Hornacek with a puzzled face, Sloan solved his knot in one sentence, "Are we only going to play this season with the Lakers?"

Yes.

In Su Feng's excellent state, no coach or team can guarantee whether Su Feng will throw them to death.

But what if it's in the playoffs?

In the seven games to determine the outcome, if Su Feng is so swollen every game, can the Lakers really win against the Jazz, which even has a backup team that is stronger than Timberwolves and Mosaic?

"Although Andre doesn't speak English well, his character is stronger than you can imagine.

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

In the energy solution arena, Su Feng, who is in excellent form tonight, is indeed scoring continuously.

However, the Jazz are also scoring when the Lakers' defense is undefended.

In fact, Sloan never thought about how to restrict Su Feng from the very 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, who were all soldiers, led by 7 points and entered the second half.

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

Su Feng, who was in a brave state in the first quarter, also scored 18 points in the second quarter.

After the intermission, in the third quarter of the game, the Lakers turned off the previous eye defense mode under Su Feng and Kobe's "golden eyes" and "death stare".

It's just, just like the warning Van Gundy gave when he proposed a full-scale offensive plan to Director Lu.

This unrestrained style of play will of course attract fans even more.

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

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

You can't have both fish and bear's paw since ancient times.

Especially in the long season of the NBA, no team can keep a game without losing.

Unfortunately......

This Lakers team isn't looking blue outside the window.

The sky is also without Westbrook.

Perhaps, with such a persistent swipe, it is indeed possible for Su Feng to swipe 80+ again tonight.

But Su Feng, who has always wanted to win games and stats, has never forgotten his original intention of playing basketball.

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

Last season, Su Feng experienced enough cuts.

Moreover, if he can win the game, if he loses because he insists on going to the bottom...

I'm afraid Su Feng will be the first one who won't be able to forgive himself after the game.

Energy Solutions Arena.

The middle of the third quarter.

After the Lakers settled through the triangle offense and Kobe scored a picturesque turnaround, Sloan couldn't help but sighed on the sidelines: "Sure enough, even if I kicked Carl out back then, I should have thought about it." The way is to change to a high pick and pick Sue to Utah."

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

"Well, even if I have to add you, I should choose Sue to Utah." Turning to look at Hornacek, Sloan said with a smile.

Old Hornacek: "..."

teacher!

Don't think that you are old now, you can rely on your old age to sell your old age, and those of us who are apprentices dare not jump up and beat you!

"However, teacher, is there any difference between Kobe's scoring and Sue's scoring?" Looking at Sloan, the elder Hornacek asked.

"Essentially it's all about scoring.

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

Significantly different?

Of course it is different!

Because after Kobe started to score, other Lakers players no longer forcefully fed the ball to Su Feng. At this moment, the Jazz's defensive system immediately became chaotic.

On the basketball court, it is impossible for an individual with strong scoring ability to score 27 points in every quarter.

Especially when the cost of Su Feng's actions 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 20 points after the whole game.

However, after a team scored 20 points in the first quarter, will they only have more than 20 points after the whole game?

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 overtook the score with a three-pointer from Dragic, who had been playing soy sauce.

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

With 8.4 seconds before the end of the game, as Williams' desperate three-pointer missed the basket, Su Feng, who protected the backcourt rebound for the Lakers with his real skills, used his usual steady 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.

Bryant scored a triple-double for the first time since returning from injury, scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the Lakers.

After the game, the elder Hornacek felt uncomfortable.

Because after the timer went to zero in the last quarter, he saw Abby crash into Su Feng's arms with his own eyes.

Although at Mi Li's house, in terms of the relationship between Su Feng and Abby, this kind of hug is not really news...

But if he hadn't been held back by old Sloan, then old Hornacek would have killed Su Feng as soon as he said it.

"Jeff, do you know what's the biggest difference between your daughter and me?" Turning to look at old Hornacek, Sloan smiled.
