Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

In the NBA, there is a saying: "The playoffs are the stage for testing superstars!"

That's right, the NBA championship is the highest honor in this league, and if you want to win the championship, you must defeat one strong enemy after another in the playoffs and go through multiple tests before you can aspire to it.

Of the superstars who have won the championship trophy in history, which one was not fought in the playoffs one after another, round after round!

A player who can be called a superstar must be recognized by fans all over the world after he has played super-strong performance in the playoffs and even the finals.

Michael Jordan, he has shown super playoff dominance since he entered the first playoffs. Although his first playoff trip was said to be a round trip, he averaged close to 40 points per game. The performance is enough to see how high his future achievements will be.

Shaquille O'Neal naturally needless to say, no matter the regular season or the playoffs, his interior dominance is extremely powerful.

Players like Tim Duncan are even more prominent. Generally speaking, he will always play better in the playoffs than the regular season.

Every year in the playoffs, there will be a lot of star players~ Here is a battle for God!

Likewise, every year there will be one or two rookies who soar on the stage like this!

If you don't believe me, check it carefully. In some playoffs, some players who were not very famous before suddenly scored 30 points, or even 40 points!

Some fans can't help but wonder, these players didn't have such explosive performances in the regular season, how could they suddenly explode in the more intense playoffs?

There are of course many reasons for this.

First of all, some players are the kind of big-screen players themselves. More intense games and bigger scenes may stimulate him, make him more active in competition and play better.

Secondly, many times in the regular season, you have to play according to the coach's tactical intention, and the opponent will not deliberately target you, and there will not be too many changes.

For example, the ball that the coach assigns to you is about 10 shots per game, and the playing time is around 20 minutes each, so basically it will not change.

However, in the playoffs, the situation is changing rapidly. The two sides have a variety of tactical targets, various relocations, and frequently exchanged styles of play.

When the leading star in the team is blocked by the opponent, the young players who are released will get more opportunities!

If the young player seizes such an opportunity at this time, then he will soar into the sky.

Obviously, Bai Feng, who shocked the whole world after three quarters of the first playoffs, belongs to this situation.

From the beginning of the game, he was not the focus of the Bulls to take care of the object, almost all periods of Rose's one-on-one defense against him.

And even though the Bulls intensified their confrontation and aggression in the first quarter, Rose's defense was never as rude as other Bulls players.

Maybe it's because Rose needs to save his energy for the offense, or maybe he just doesn't like defending like that...

In short, the Bulls strictly guard against Stoudemire and Anthony, and naturally take care of Bai Feng much less.

Under such circumstances, Bai Feng scored 17 points and 8 assists in the entire first half.

However, because the Bulls lead the score, the scene is dominant, they did not make changes in the second half.

But in the third quarter, Bai Feng had a very hot feel and shot right through the Bulls' defense!

25 points in a single quarter! Such performance, looking at the history of the NBA playoffs, can be among the best.

After three quarters, Bai Feng had already scored 42 points. This performance directly drove the Longguo fans who were watching the live broadcast to cheer him crazy.

"Cow, my god of maple, you exploded like this the first time you played in the playoffs?!"

"I'm going, I feel like I'm in a dream. Before the game, I thought that Bai Feng would definitely be uncomfortable in the playoffs for the first time. Even if he managed to get 15+5, it would be a success. In the end, what is 42 points in three quarters? ghost?"

"This is too fierce. It's an exaggeration. Even the scoring record in the regular season has been refreshed all of a sudden."

"Damn, if I keep playing like this, Bai Feng won't get 60 points tonight?!"

The huge surprise made Longguo fans go crazy for Bai Feng on this morning.

At the scene, Bulls fans were also shocked by his performance.

"No, this guy, is it really accurate to this level? How can you vote?"

"What are the Bulls doing on defense, they are so accurate, and they let Rose defend?"

"Looking at it this way, Rose's 25-point score is not good in an instant. This matchup is simply overwhelmed."

Although the Bulls were only 3 points behind, the opponent's rookie point guard Bai Feng almost dominated the entire quarter and led the Knicks to overtake the score. Such a situation

The Bulls fans at the scene couldn't sit still.

However, the Bulls head coach Thibodeau was still sitting on the sidelines as steady as Tarzan. At this time, it was the transition period when the rotation lineup should play. He encouraged and appeased the main players of the team: "You played absolutely right, guard Anthony. And Stoudemire, these two offensive arrows, allowed them to score only 1 point in the third quarter, which was very successful... Don't pay too much attention to the performance of their rookie player, that kind of super high hit rate is not good. Probably always, so, we don't need to change anything at all!"

Tom Thibodeau's statement is actually correct.

Anthony and Stoudemire's performance in the third quarter can be described as extremely bad.

Anthony singles 3 times, 1 turnover, 2 strikes, the entire third quarter without a point.

Stoudemire was fouled by grabbing offensive rebounds and scored 1 free throw.

Indeed, to allow the two core players of the Knicks to play at this level, I have to say that the Bulls' defense is really in place.

As for Bai Feng's 10-for-13 shooting performance, there were almost no open shots, facing Rose's defensive three-point shot, a pull-up jumper after a pick-and-roll breakthrough, horse-riding archery or throwing shots...

Every goal he scored was not easy, but the hit rate was surprisingly high.

Such a performance would not be a normal performance, so Xibodu naturally had reason to believe that Bai Feng's anti-sky feeling could not still exist in the fourth quarter!

Moreover, the Bulls are only 3 points behind now, they have absolutely no need to take the risk of strengthening the defense against Bai Feng, thereby liberating the two All-Stars of the Knicks.

In fact, Bai Feng played almost the whole quarter in the third quarter. When it was supposed to enter the rotation time, De'an Dongdian did not replace him because Bai Feng was still hot.

It wasn't until there was more than 1 minute left in the third quarter that Bai Feng's touch began to decline. After he missed two consecutive shots, he was replaced to rest.

For Bai Feng, this game, especially in the third quarter, was really because of the overwhelming feeling, so he played so well.

And in the previous regular season of the entire season, there was no time to feel hotter than tonight.

In the first half of the third quarter, it was more about how to vote.

As soon as I got the ball, Bai Feng had an idea that as long as I shot, I would definitely score, so he became very confident.

This feeling, I believe every fan who likes to play, will appear more or less.

However, Bai Feng is also very clear that the explosive shooting feel is difficult to last for a whole game, and with the continuation of time, or the consumption of physical energy, the feel will quickly cool down.

In fact, there is already a trend in this point. In the third quarter, he missed two shots before he left the court, which proves that the hand feeling has cooled down.

Based on the statement of "conservation of hit rate", then in the fourth quarter, there is a high probability that his feel will appear in a category below the normal level, of course, not absolute.

It's just that Bai Feng has to think about a question, that is, now they only lead by 3 points, when the Bulls don't change their defensive strategy in the fourth quarter, if his touch really declines, how will he play?

D'Antoni was the first to answer!

He let Anthony, who had a very bad third quarter, come on at the beginning of the fourth quarter, leading the rotation to the transition.

Obviously, because the Bulls took care of Anthony in the third quarter, the All-Star player with super scoring ability was very depressed, but the advantage is that because the offense can't catch the ball, the defense doesn't need to do much. , his consumption is not large.

In the fourth quarter, Anthony still had a good physical reserve. D'Antoni had an idea at this time and put Anthony in the bench.

As soon as the game started, Anthony played right away!

The Bulls' bench lineup does not have the defensive pressure of the main lineup, and the quality of the players is also different.

Anthony's singles in this lineup are an easy one.

On the field, he succeeded in two consecutive singles, vented his frustrations from the previous game at this moment, and even made a celebratory gesture towards the audience after scoring, which attracted constant boos from the scene.

Although the Bulls' bench team began to double-team him, Anthony immediately hit the ball and assisted his teammates to score.

Unexpectedly, the Knicks' bench lineup even pulled the score a little further.

As a last resort, the Bulls had to call a timeout, and put Luol Deng and Noah, the two core origins of the defensive end, on the court.

Thereafter, the Antony regiment was restricted again.

Obviously, D'Antoni's purpose has been achieved, and it is time for the rotation. He has changed into the main lineup and is preparing for the final battle with the Bulls.

Bai Feng came on stage. He thought that his opponent would definitely take care of him in the fourth quarter, but he didn't.

It's still Rose's single defense, and the Bulls' defensive resources are all on Anthony and Stoudemire, which is no different from the previous game strategy.

And Bai Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that his hand was still there after he tried one!

As soon as Bai Feng hit the field, he hit a mid-range shot, which instantly made the hearts of the Bulls fans hang up.

"That kid is here again, he can still throw in!"

"No, this feeling is too exaggerated. How can you shoot? Are you sure the Bulls still want one-on-one defense?"

…for flowers…0

"I'm going, this feeling is too fake, what is Xibodu doing? Hurry up and stop him!"

Clearly, Bulls fans are in a hurry!

Although the Knicks' lead is still small, the crazy performance of Bai Feng in the third quarter left a huge shadow on them.

25 points in a single quarter! 42 points in three quarters!

The fans here, except for some old fans who have seen their "gods", Michael Jordan had such a performance in the playoffs, I am afraid that they have never entered such a terrible score.

In the fourth quarter, as soon as Bai Feng came on the court, they felt guilty.

After seeing Bai Feng throwing in as soon as he came up, he immediately panicked.

After all, this is the playoffs, their home court.

The Bulls, but the league's first, their opponent is only the eighth team in the East.

If you lose this first game, wouldn't that be a shame?

Besides, there are some media before the game

What to preach about the "Black Eight Miracles", what to say that the Knicks have the potential to accomplish this feat.

Although such a voice was minimal, Bulls fans took a stand at Network Hill to express the ludicrousness of the claim.

But now, the situation has become very critical.

The original firm heart of Bulls coach Thibodeau was also shaken at this moment.

Damn, this Bai Feng, how could this be?

He is not such a player!

In Thibodeau's impression, Bai Feng has always been the kind of stable traditional point guard.

His shooting ability is good, but he will almost only choose to attack on his own when it makes sense.

According to Thibodeau's previous thoughts, they only need to limit Anthony and Stoudemire to death, even if Bai Feng is let go, let him get 25+, and at most get 30+

Points, it doesn't matter, they can still win.

However, the situation was beyond his expectations.

Bai Feng, who was selectively let go, was not at all the reasonable style of play he imagined.

Especially in the third quarter, Bai Feng went crazy!

He shoots against the defender, and then pulls a jump shot directly after one step, even the horse-riding archery with poor stability, he is also a decisive shot.

Can these scoring methods be considered reasonable? Can they occur in a player who is dominated by stability?

Obviously, this does not fit the category of reasonable, but should be called "unreasonable"!

Bai Feng has a deep understanding of the concept of "unreasonable".

In the game against the Spurs at the end of the regular season, the opponent's "reasonable" style of play once made him quite uncomfortable, and even fell into some kind of vicious circle.

But teammate Stoudemire's "unreasonable" style of play immediately destroyed the Spurs' seemingly flawless system.

It was that game that opened the "gate" to Bai Feng's new world.

Since then, he has understood a truth, the reason why NBA superstars, even superstars, can have such titles is because they can often need them when they need them.

When standing up, show a super performance of "unreasonable"!

Unreasonable and unreasonable, there is only one word difference, and the concepts are similar, but the results are very different.

If you are not capable enough, it is unreasonable if you insist on going your own way.

Not only the coach is dissatisfied, the teammates are dissatisfied, the fans will also spray you.

But if you are super capable, the impossible becomes possible, and the unreasonable becomes unreasonable.

The coach marvels, the teammates revel, and the fans even treat you like a god!

Yes, not long ago, Bai Feng realized this truth when he watched his teammate Xiao Si put on an unreasonable explosive performance.

Tonight, Bai Feng personally played a very unreasonable performance.

Even though the result of the game is still inconclusive, the effect has been fully played out.

At this moment, recalling the feedback of the system in Section 3, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, it seems that it is not very important.

Bai Feng thinks, perhaps, this is the only way to grow from a high-quality player to a superstar!

Tom Thibodeau was hesitant, and he never made a decision to completely restrict Bai Feng!

Mainly because Bai Feng's touch in the fourth quarter was indeed not as abnormal as in the third quarter, but it wasn't completely cold either.

But like boiling a frog in warm water, it made the Bulls very uncomfortable.

The Bulls had chased the difference to only 4 points at the last moment, but in the end, after the three-pointers of Rose and Roald Deng hit the iron one after another, they unfortunately lost the series.

the G1.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Bulls 106:98 on the road, and a big upset broke out when the playoffs just started!

This upset not only made the Bulls, the No. 1 team in the league, in the whirlpool of "Black Eight", but also made Bai Feng, a super rookie of the Knicks, famous!

This night, Bai Feng scored 57 points and 11 assists in a single-game super-luxurious double-double, which even eclipsed all the superstars who played in the playoffs on this day. .
