Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 100 Defensive second team, unexpected surprise!
After three games, the Sonics became the only team in the league with a 3:0 opponent. Even Jordan's Bulls lost a game to the 3ers 0:97.

But to be honest, that game was really not Jordan's fault. He made 34 of 20 shots, scored 46 points in a single game, and still lost the game.

But the media doesn't think so. After all, Dan Zi is a person who is not afraid to find black spots if he wants to be black.

He missed 3 free throws in this game, and the Bulls just lost 2, which is one less than Jordan missed. Isn't this a problem?

Pippen only made 23 of 9 shots?
He is just a rookie, don't just look at Pippen's offense, look at his defense, he got 3 steals, what else can you ask of him?

Jordan: Is my 1 steal and 4 blocks fake?
Media: Can't hear, I can't hear anything!
In a hotel in Salt Lake City, Lu Feng was speechless watching NBC and CBS programs.

The Supersonics 3:0 Jazz, no one mentioned it, Jordan scored a high score and lost the game, almost everyone is talking!
It's no wonder that so many people don't like Danzi, and he has taken the topic away. Others can only drink soup, and everyone will have opinions.

Seeing that the TV was full of news about Jordan, Lu Feng decisively chose to change the channel.

Then he discovered that the hotel subscribed to ESPN and TNT!

"Impossible, the supersonic speed can't sweep the Jazz, I admit, Lark..."

As soon as Lu Feng switched to TNT, he saw Stephen A. Smith torturing himself again.

At the beginning when he asked Lu Feng if he could take advantage of Lu Feng's popularity, Lu Feng readily agreed. If he was asked to go back to when Smith asked the question, Lu Feng would definitely refuse!

In the past two months, Lu Feng had the urge to fire Smith many times, but in the end it was the rising stock prices of the two TV stations that stopped him.

Make money, it's not shabby!
Besides, Smith is not just targeting Lu Feng, his comments are absolutely fair and just, and he hates every star equally!
This year's playoffs are generally fierce. The Blazers' battle against the Warriors, and the Bad Boys' battle against the old Celtics are all very interesting.

But in comparison, the most popular series is still the Trail Blazers playing the Warriors. The two teams have full offense in every game, feasting the fans' eyes.

In comparison, not many people paid attention to the series of Bad Boys vs. Celtics.

The reason is simple, Bird and Thomas are injured.

Both men had a game off, Bird with a recurring back injury and Thomas with an aggravated foot injury.

Then, Thomas stood up first and announced that he would return in the fourth game of the series. Bird was not to be outdone, and would also return in the fourth game.

These two people were afraid that they had not hurt themselves enough and would continue to hurt each other.

The day before, the league announced the best coach of the season, and the winner was Rick Adelman of the Trail Blazers.

Lu Feng thinks that Adelman deserves the best coach award. In the original world, Adelman has created one strong team after another, but he has never won the best coach. Many coaches mentioned that at this time , There are many regrets.

In this life, the butterfly effect caused by Lu Feng made up for this regret, and Adelman successfully became a famous teacher!
In the original world, the winner of the best head coach this season was Don Cheney. Although he lost this award, Lu Feng thought it was not a bad thing for Cheney.

In his previous life, Don Cheney became a laughing stock in the basketball world because of this award.

As soon as he got the best coach, he was kicked out by the team. After that, he had the worst winning percentage in the league for several consecutive seasons, and he left the NBA after coaching for several seasons.

Don Cheney just doesn't know how to use big dreams. His coaching ability can be ranked in the upper reaches of the league.

At this time, the offensive space theory has not yet emerged, but Don Cheney explored it alone and touched some of the key points.

At that time, the Sonics were preparing for the game against the Jazz. Lu Feng didn't focus on this award, he just looked at the results briefly.

After the best coach award was awarded, the league immediately announced the best defensive team of the season.

The best defensive team is led by Jordan, and the rest are: Alvin Robertson, Buck Williams, Dennis Rodman, David Robinson.

The best defensive second team are: John Stockton, Lu Feng, Scottie Pippen, Dan Marley, Olajuwon.

Seeing this result, Lu Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he was always lazy and finally won the second team of defense.

The best team is selected by the coaches. Although Lu Feng loves to fish, almost every coach knows what he looks like when he is serious.

Because of this, even though Lu Feng was only a rookie, the coaches voted for each other, and Lu Feng somehow made it to the second team.

Not to mention Lu Feng, the coaches who voted were taken aback when they saw this result.

But it's a done deal, and it's too late to repent, not to mention that Lu Feng does have the strength to hold the defense!

In fact, the NBA officials were also taken aback by the voting results, because the coaches who voted for Lu Feng either did not vote directly, or thought that Lu Feng could enter the defense for a while.

After the final statistics, Lu Feng only had the defensive second team, which also let the NBA officials breathe a sigh of relief.

Haste makes waste. The NBA knows this simple truth. If Lu Feng achieves too many achievements too early, he may not be able to convince the public and have the opposite effect.

And Lu Feng got the defensive second team just right. After reminding the fans that Lu Feng's defense is not weak, the fans' question is more about why Lu Feng only has the second team, which is in line with the league's star-making plan!

In contrast, Olajuwon is the one who has been wronged. He averaged 2.2 steals and 3.9 blocks per game. He guarded the inside of the Rockets alone.

After a day of rest, the Sonics are fully prepared to play the fourth game with the Jazz.

On the same day, the NBA officially announced the final results of the Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) selection. The person who finally won the best defensive player of the season was Rodman, the worm of the Pistons.

Rodman has won DPOY for two consecutive years, and the monster demonization is about to begin...

Before the start of the game, KC Jones was not optimistic about the Supersonics sweeping the Jazz, and so was Lu Feng.

Although he took a day off and KC Jones did not arrange any training, the Supersonics obviously did not recover.

That morning, several people on the Sonics team complained that their bodies were sore and their status was offline.

There are mostly young people, but veterans like Sam Perkins and Sampson are actually not much better.

Except for the Jazz and the Nuggets, no team can stand the three-day two-day home game of the Jazz or the Nuggets!
On the way to the stadium, many Supersonics players survived by oxygen cylinders, not to mention that the Salt Lake City fans made all kinds of troubles to prevent the Supersonics from resting. Apart from being tired, they were also really sleepy.

After the game started, KC Jones found that his concerns were right.

The entire Sonics team seemed to have lead on their feet, they couldn't run no matter what!
Although the Jazz have also been affected, but compared to the Supersonics, their state is much better.

In the first quarter of the game, the Sonics led the Jazz by 2 points in the away game relying on their shooting touch.

But from the beginning of the second quarter, the Sonics were obviously unable to do what they wanted, and the quality of defense dropped greatly.

After halftime, the Jazz overtook the Sonics by 2 points.

It's not that the Jazz played so well, it's just that the Sonics themselves played too badly.

KC Jones knew what the problem was, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about the situation. He was tired, and he couldn't improve it with a sentence or two of chicken soup.

In addition, in his opinion, protecting the health of young players is what he should really care about.

In the second half of the game, Lu Feng led the team to catch up, but couldn't bear the stares of his teammates, and had to rely on raising his life after a few rounds.

After three quarters, the SuperSonics have fallen behind by 6 points!
In the last quarter of the game, Lu Feng still didn't want to give up. In his opinion, the state of the Jazz is not much better than that of the Supersonics. It's not that there is no chance to chase points.

But KC Jones took a look at the state of the rest of the Sonics and didn't hold out much hope.

In the last quarter, most of the Supersonic starters had no strength to continue the game. KC Jones satisfied Lu Feng and let him continue to play for half a quarter.

But Lu Feng has only one person, he can only guard against one of Stockton or Jeff Malone, and the Jazz will always have an extra point that cannot be restrained.

Especially Stockton, he has long been used to squeezing his physical fitness. Various layups or points after breakthroughs, plus a few free throws brought by the Jazz's home court advantage, not only failed to shrink the score, but opened it up again. 3 points!
Seeing this situation, KC Jones decisively replaced Lu Feng, let him have a good rest, and prepared to take revenge on the Jazz after returning home!

The final score was 87:94. The Jazz defeated the Supersonics by 7 points at home and refused to be swept!
路枫全场出战30分钟，是超音速出场时间最长的球员，这场比赛他一共23投11中，加罚球拿到了29分4篮板7助攻。

The efficiency can only be said to be average, and he didn't play very well. Lu Feng knew this, and he generously admitted that he couldn't play well after losing.

Although his teammates played worse, Lu Feng would not have any opinion. Their initial plan was to try their best to win the next game in Salt Lake City. The Supersonics achieved their goal, and this result is acceptable.

But what surprised the Supersonics was that even after returning to Seattle with a normal altitude for a day of rest, the Supersonics still failed to recover!
The sequelae of hypoxia cannot be recovered in a day. In the fifth game between the Supersonics and the Jazz, the Supersonics lost by three points at home, and finally lost to the Jazz 104:101!
Lu Feng rested well, but helplessly, no one in the Supersonics played normally except him.

The game between the two teams has become a competition. The competition is not about which team plays better, but which team doesn't play that badly!

What makes the Sonics even more uncomfortable is that after this game, the Sonics will soon return to the Jazz for an away game.

这时期的NBA，季后赛是2-2-1-1-1的赛制，前四场比赛打完后，之后三场每打完一场就要换个场地，总决赛才是2-3-2的赛制。

The Supersonics are clear that the fifth game must be won, otherwise if the Jazz equalize the score, the Supersonics will be in trouble!

Lu Feng felt a little weird. He said the phrase "I'm already thinking about my opponent in the Western Conference Finals!" just for the sake of being funny, but he didn't expect that this sentence would be so powerful!
When KC Jones thought of the Supersonics being chased from 3:0 to 3:2, he was so angry that he made a bold decision to let the Supersonics rest in Seattle for a day, and then go to Salt Lake City on the day of the game.

When the Sonics were still struggling with the Jazz, the Bulls had successfully eliminated the 4ers 1:76 and became the first team to advance to the third round of the playoffs.

Jordan averaged 5+33.4+8 in 7.8 games, which was praised by the league.

Facts have proved that the tone of the media has changed so quickly. Two days ago, Jordan was still questioning. After he won a game, it completely turned into praise.

Lu Feng also paid attention to the other three series. In the last game between the Bulls and the 76ers, Jordan's shooting was average, only 31 points on 14 of 38 shots.

But what is scary about him is that in addition to 38 points, Jordan also has 19 rebounds and 7 assists!

The 19 rebounds also set a new high for Jordan's rebounds in the playoffs. Facts have proved that Jordan can't sewer, but he rarely uses it.

When the team needs the team to play like this, he can present a perfect statistic with practical actions.

Jordan's rebounding awareness is not weak. After seeing it, Lu Feng felt a little miraculous.

The NBA in this era is really weird. Centers such as Dameng and Sharks all use guard skills. As the league's first guard, Jordan mostly uses striker skills.

The strength shown by the Bulls is shocking. They proved with practical actions that during the regular season, the Bulls didn't take it seriously at all.

Lu Feng also discovered that the Zen Master Phil Jackson is not as rubbish as later generations describe him. Not only is he not a bastard, but his tactical level is extremely high. The Bulls must have reserve tactics that are not used!

In the previous four games, the performance of the Bulls and 76 made people feel that the gap between the two teams was not particularly large.

But in the last game, the Bulls resorted to the sewer system, which directly prevented the 76ers from grabbing rebounds!

Not to mention that Jordan grabbed 19 rebounds alone. After the whole game, the Bulls and 76ers had 52:29 rebounds respectively. The Bulls led by 23 rebounds!
Because of this, the Bulls still won the game even though they didn't feel as good as the 76ers.

The Sonics have a lot of tactical reserves, and they have corresponding tactics against every team, but the effect of restraint cannot be as terrifying as the Bulls.

After watching this game, Lu Feng knew very well that it was far more difficult for the Supersonics to reach the top than he imagined.

After a brief understanding of the game process, Lu Feng put his mind back on the series against the Jazz.

Salt Lake City, the fifth game between the Sonics and the Jazz, officially started!
In this game, Salt Lake City fans regained their enthusiasm for the team. From 3:0 behind to the current 3:2, the Jazz seem to have a good chance to complete a miracle comeback!

No team has ever completed a comeback from a 0:3 deficit before, and Salt Lake City fans are happy to see the team make history.

The two teams started the game with the same regular lineup, and neither the Sonics nor the Jazz had adjusted.

Kemp lost again on the jump ball, his fifth jump ball loss to Mark Eaton.

Although Mark Eaton is tall and not good at jumping, his scrimmage skills are very stable. Once he gets used to Kemp's rhythm, he can win almost every time.

Stockton held the ball, and seeing Lu Feng defending him, Stockton felt a headache.

In the previous Wuchang games, Stockton was restricted by Lu Feng every game and his mentality exploded. After the Wuchang games, Stockton only averaged 11.8+10.2 per game, barely completing a double-double, and was unilaterally crushed by Lu Feng!
Although Stockton did not play well in this round of the series, Lu Feng will not easily let go of his opponent's defense.

Every time Stockton makes a move, he chooses when Lu Feng is not expecting it, and every time it is a sneak attack without martial ethics.

Let’s say he played well. Stockton’s hit rate is really not low. Lu Feng has no choice but to choose the most stupid way to restrict the opponent: not to let Stockton shoot!
After all, in basketball, you have to make a shot before you can get the data. Lu Feng directly made Stockton unable to make a shot, so the data naturally stretched his hips.

As soon as Lu Feng came up, his strength was full, and he kept finding confrontations with Stockton, which made the opponent very distressed.

Although this still can't prevent the Jazz's pick-and-roll, it can cause a lot of consumption to Stockton.

Malone cut in after the pick-and-roll, received a pass from Stockton, made a direct shot, bang!
The Jazz failed to score in the first attack, but the Jazz did not give up. After seeing the basketball miss, Malone immediately started to fight for the rebound.

However, what made him uncomfortable was that Sam Perkins pulled out directly, stuck Malone's position, and prevented him from participating in the rebound.

I would rather let go of the inside position than stop Malone. This is the decision made by the Sonics in this game!

At the same time, Sampson also stuck Mark Eaton. Without the need to move, Sampson squatted under the basket and still had the three-point strength at his peak, but it was not difficult for him to get stuck.

Edwards has been wary of Kemp's position. In the first few games, Kemp was the main rebounder for the Sonics.

He didn't want Kemp to easily accept the rebound, and he had been looking for opportunities to wrestle with Kemp, but what he didn't expect was that Kemp didn't rush into the inside again this time, but turned around and took a step ahead of Edwards Stuck in position.

In the past, he interfered with Kemp's rebounding, but now it's the other way around. With Kemp's defense, who will the Supersonics let to grab the backcourt?
Snapped!
Lu Feng jumped up high and grabbed the backcourt rebound. Stockton could only watch, unable to lose his temper.

Since bulls can use sewers, so can supersonic speed!

The biggest problem with sewer tactics is that it will speed up the physical consumption of the core defenders, which is unbearable for most people.

But Lu Feng is not an ordinary person, and besides KC Jones, there is no one else he can trust, so in the end he had to use the trick of pressing the bottom of the box.

In this game, Lu Feng is the most important thing for the Supersonics to win. If he can stabilize, the Supersonics will have a chance to win!
After Lu Feng grabbed the rebound, he lowered his body and went out recklessly. Ma Long wanted to find a chance to directly elbow Shang Lu Feng, but Perkins was unwilling to give him this chance.

Even though Lu Feng grabbed the rebound, Perkins was still stuck, and Malone didn't know what the opponent was thinking!
Perkins: I still don't know what you are after fighting for so long?I know you want to play dirty, but I just won't give you this chance!
Malone failed to come up, but Stockton did.

He leaned forward and hugged Lu Feng's hand directly, not letting Lu Feng speed up!
If Lu Feng broke free forcefully, he might hurt his shoulder joint or elbow joint. He predicted that Lu Feng would not dare to do that!

Seeing that the referee didn't blow the whistle like this, Lu Feng felt angry.

The defense can put hands on the defender, but directly hugging the defender is a foul action no matter how you look at it!
The Jazz's home court advantage is indeed outrageous, and Lu Feng will not be used to the opponent.

Taking advantage of Stockton's lack of hug, Lu Feng pretended to change direction, but actually hit Stockton directly in the stomach with a dark elbow!

This is not over yet. After a successful sneak attack with a dark elbow, while Stockton let go of his hand, Lu Feng scooped the ball with his left hand, turned around close to Stockton, and at the same time gave Stockton a shot with his right hand. Here we go!
Lu Feng's playing style is like this, repaying kindness with kindness, and repaying grievances with grievances.

The opponent is willing to play well, and Lu Feng will naturally not use it if he doesn't use small moves. If the opponent uses it, Lu Feng will fight back double!
Stockton took two big elbows in a row, lost his footing, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground!
Stockton covered his stomach, feeling like he was about to throw up!
Others don't know his suffering. From the perspective of others, Stockton just wanted to defend Lu Feng but failed to defend him, and was knocked down.

Combined with the previous few games, there is nothing wrong with this situation. Stockton just couldn't prevent Lu Feng.

The referee looked at Stockton, who was lying on the ground clutching his stomach, almost speechless.

Referee: I admit the flop, it’s okay to give you a free throw, but you’re still pretending when you’re knocked down, do you really think I’m a fool?
