Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 163 Lu Feng: Good guy, besides the inner ghost, there are also rebels

The playoffs were at the most exciting stage, the Eastern and Western finals entered Tianwangshan one after another, and the fans of the remaining four teams in the playoffs all felt that their home team had a chance to reach the finals.

There is only one goal left before the finals. No one wants to fall down at this time. At the same time, due to the fierce situation of the playoffs, injuries have begun to plague everyone.

At this time of the game, almost everyone has some injuries to some extent, but under the trend of the times, no one chooses to withdraw from the playoffs at this time, and the supersonic is the same internally. something is wrong.

Kemp's knee was injured while fighting for rebounds, and Harper's old injury recurred due to strenuous exercise, and there was water accumulation in his knee. Lu Feng had put on finger gloves and knee pads early, and he was also troubled by minor problems accumulated over the years. Looking at him.

The most serious one should be Perkins. Although it is not as serious as Harper's need for surgery, his injury is the one that has the most serious impact on his competitive state.

He suffered from an ankle sprain very early on, which seriously affected his promotion status. Up to now in the playoffs, he has lost his low-post deterrence, blocking positions, rebounding, top defense, and inside offense...

It's just that the Blazers are not strong inside. If they switch to a team that focuses on inside offense and low-post offense, the Supersonics have nothing to do except double-team.

Although with various injuries, no one proposed to rest at this time. On the contrary, everyone in the Supersonics is using various ways to prove themselves, so Tucarel can arrange for them More playing time.

The playoffs are a head-to-head battle between strong teams. Everyone knows this. The situation of other teams is definitely not much better than that of the Sonics. As long as it is not a season reimbursement or a serious injury that affects their career, no one will play at this time. flinch.

It’s hard to say about other teams, but the biggest impact of injuries on the Sonics is undoubtedly the team’s offense. Under the influence of various injuries, the Sonics’ shooting percentage has been declining until the playoffs. At the beginning, it was due to the strengthening of defensive teams, and then it was reduced again because of injuries.

What Carlisle is most worried about is that Lu Feng's shooting state will have problems, but he feels fortunate that in the training sessions and tactical meetings that were temporarily recruited after returning to Seattle, Lu Feng's performance is not bad, at least he The projection ability is still there, and there is no tendency to be affected.

The SuperSonics want to find a solution to the team's organizational problems through tactical meetings. The SuperSonics now need a player who can help Lu Feng share the passing task against a strong team in the playoffs.

It is a pity that with Lu Feng and Harper acting as examiners, none of the Supersonics' backline qualified. Among them, the best performer is McMillan, who is often overlooked. His passing skills are very solid, but accurate. The speed and speed are not enough, and the pass selection is too rigid, so it is not a good choice either.

The performance of Burrows and Avery is definitely disappointing. Because they relied too much on Lu Feng in the past two seasons, the two put more training energy on their offensive and defensive abilities. After two seasons, their organizational ability Instead of improving, there have been a lot of setbacks.

Under the assessment of Lu Feng and Harper, either they were unable to pass the ball in time, or the timing and accuracy of the pass were not enough. The scoring opportunity was lost, and after the two were asked to organize the offense by themselves, there was a problem-sticking the ball!
Sticking to the ball is an absolute taboo in the playoffs. Both of them happen to be small guards, and they are small guards whose athletic ability is not top-notch. If the opponent catches the habit of sticking to the ball, they will be easily targeted.

Due to the lack of organizational skills, the two used to observe the situation on the field first in order to ensure that they did not make mistakes before deciding on tactics. The resulting problem was that when players without the ball found an opportunity to cooperate, the two could not pass the ball in place in time. The last person to run out of position has to shoot against the defense.

The scoring efficiency of the Supersonic team is extremely dependent on the tactical system and Lu Feng's personal ability. It can be said that the Supersonic team is all system players except Lu Feng. Others, including Kemp, lack sufficient offensive ability.

This is mainly the fault of KC Jones and Lu Feng. In the past two years, in order to make the team run in faster, except for Lu Feng's singles on the offensive end, most of the offenses are tactical, so they will develop The Sonics now play like this.

"No, the team's organization still needs to be handed over to Luck and the ball to others. It will be difficult for our offensive system to run smoothly!" Russell, who attended the team's tactical meeting together, shook his head after watching the assessment process of several people.

"So what about other jobs? Defense and offense, Luck must give up one. We saw the result of Luck reducing his investment in defense last season. Is it possible that Luck should give up offense?"

Carlisle frowned and asked a question, and then said bluntly: "I will not be so stupid as to let Luck give up the offense, his shooting percentage against the defense is higher than the shooting percentage of other open shots!
Even if Luck can deliver 20 assists in a single game, as long as he fails to score 30 points, no matter how well others play, our efficiency will never be enough to defeat the Trail Blazers!
I'm sorry I might be blunt, but that's the way it is, Russell, do you understand? "

Russell frowned, then shook his head and said: "In my era, I was only responsible for the team's rebounding and passing. If Reed suddenly told me one day, besides rebounding and passing, I would And the team that needs to stand up and score to win... well, that's probably going to make me desperate."

Although he said so, Russell knew that no matter what request the coach made, he would definitely agree to it and work hard to complete it.

He knows clearly what his scoring level is, so it is not difficult to agree on impulse, but it is hard to say what the final result will be. After all, Russell was never known as "all-around" as a player.

Lu Feng's "omnipotence" caused many of the Sonics' problems to be covered up during the regular season, but in the playoffs, the veterans who took root on the coaching bench helped Carlisle find out all the problems one by one and gave them to the young coach. A good lesson.

Other coaches: It’s nice to have Lu Feng here, right?Wait, kid, I will let you know what cruelty is!
Carlisle was very helpless. At this moment, the team had no choice but to believe in Lu Feng...

"Luck, if I leave the organization, defense and offense of the team to you, how long can you last?"

Lu Feng frowned. He didn't try it himself, and he didn't know what he could do. In the end, he could only say conservatively: "Three quarters... I have no problem insisting on three quarters. If it exceeds this time, I don't know." Can you guarantee the efficiency yourself?"

This answer obviously does not satisfy Carlisle. Based on the Blazers' past two games, it is impossible for the SuperSonics to defeat their opponents in three quarters like they did in the first game.

"Since this is the case, then tomorrow's game will be up to you to withstand the first three quarters. In the last quarter, I don't want you to do anything other than score. Can you score efficiently in the last quarter?"

"Does this need to be said? In terms of points, no matter who comes, I am the strongest one!"

Lu Feng directly accepted the task assigned to him by Carlisle. It was not because he was proud, but because Lu Feng believed that in this era, he was definitely the strongest in terms of scoring. Vin Durant can be compared to him!
Jordan's scoring ability is of course strong, but his efficiency is definitely at the same level as Lu Feng's!
But his scoring relies heavily on his own rhythm. When he can't find the rhythm, he will continue to hit the iron, and his offensive hot spots are not comprehensive. After developing the three-pointer, Jordan still has positions that make him uncomfortable - —One step from the front to the free throw line in the middle distance!
Jordan rarely takes shots from this position, because the distance from the free throw line that is one step back is his hot zone. If he is one step forward, he can enter the penalty area and rush to the basket. In the past, no one could stop Jordan from doing that.

People's energy is limited, and of course Jordan is the same. In his opinion, he can ignore this small problem directly, because he has never realized it, and it is normal not to train on it. "Why Lak, basketball is a sport for five people, we are Lak's teammates, not a burden to hold him back..."

Just when Carlisle was about to announce the disbandment of the tactics class, Harper, who had previously helped complete the assessment, spoke with a strong presence.

"There are so many millionaires on our team. If one day the fans know that the so-called help we gave Luck on the court, the points, rebounds and assists we got are all simple data that anyone can get. , what will the fans think?"

After hearing Harper's words, the others all lowered their heads in shame, or their eyes drifted in other directions, not daring to look directly into Harper's eyes.

"Come on guys, the test isn't over yet. There's still one person who hasn't tried yet, right?"

Carlisle only remembered after being reminded by Harper that the Sonics had indeed never tried to let Harper organize it.

But... Harper will organize?Carlisle expressed his doubts, then shot Harper a meaningful look.

Harper looked uncomfortable and said angrily, "Fak, Rick, what kind of eyes are you looking at? When I was in Dallas and Los Angeles, I also led the team to the playoffs as the boss of the team, okay? !
After the Clippers were injured, I have always been the engine of the team... In addition to scoring and defending, my passing has never been worse!
Before coming to the SuperSonics, I was not a pure scorer. I was good at defense and organization. It was precisely because I couldn't score that the Cavaliers traded me to the Clippers! "

Harper's career script is very similar to the future Ilgrada. The Cavaliers selected him to train Harper to become the team leader and a super scorer.

巅峰时期哈珀也有过场均22分6.9篮板7助攻2抢断1.3盖帽，虽然场均22分看起来不错，但大多都是些对比赛结果影响不大的得分。

While other scorers were frequently scoring 40+ points in the playoffs, Harper, as the team leader, only averaged less than 14 shots per game. The Cavaliers chose to trade him away in anger.

Cavaliers: Don't pass the pass, you should vote!

Harper: No, I choose to believe in my teammates!

Knight: I believe you XX!

Lu Feng also remembered after Harper uttered: Yes, there is Harper in the supersonic speed!
As the starting point guard during Jordan's post-Triple Crown period and the Lakers' OK period, Harper not only defended, but also had very good passing ability.

Lu Feng is not sure about Harper's organizational skills, but there is absolutely no problem with his passing. The reason why Harper's statistics are not good during the period of winning the five championships is mainly because he is a part of the team. The setters, and the setters of the Bulls and the Lakers happen to be notorious pancake monsters!
A certain snake, a certain skin: spit out cakes, what spit out cakes?Isn't it normal to dribble to find a rhythm before the shot?
It's really not Lu Feng's fault for his poor memory. He and Harper have been teammates for two years, and subconsciously they feel that the other party is a scorer and defensive powerhouse.

This is absolutely normal. Imagine if Lu Feng forced Rondo to practice catching and shooting in advance, and the opponent would no longer have the nickname "Basic but not offensive". I am afraid that even Lu Feng himself would not be able to remember this incident many years later. thing.

Harper is like this now. It is precisely because Lu Feng is familiar with the other party that Harper in this life will cover up the image of Lu Feng's memory, making Lu Feng immediately think of the situation in this life when he mentions Harper.

Of course, Harper said that he could share Lu Feng's organizational tasks. In addition, defense, as his special skill, is naturally impossible to give up, so Harper would have to sacrifice some shots and personal offense.

The team has reached this point. In Harper's view, the so-called scoring and other statistics are secondary. He just wants to advance to the finals and win the championship.

But what makes Harper uncomfortable is that after he said that he can let himself try the organization, both Carlisle and Russell expressed doubts about his ability at the same time. After all, a regular season averaged 19.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. He said that he was good at organizing, but no one would believe him.

Carlisle: You are just a pitcher and dunk defense idiot. Listen to the coach's words, the organization is too deep, you can't grasp it!

Russell: Harper, do you want to guess how many teams have come to the Sonics to trade you, and how many of them are interested in your organization?

The Bulls have been trying to trade Pippen in the past two seasons. Of course, Krause has also been eyeing the SuperSonics. He first proposed trading Pippen for Kemp, but Russell naturally scolded him, and then the other party proposed to trade Pippen. Peng traded Harper, and was naturally scolded by Russell in the end.

Russell: It’s not enough for me to suffer, right? You don’t know something. I really think I don’t understand football. This young manager, I advise you not to think about playing tricks in the future. Crooked move?
Although the two were skeptical, they finally let Harper give it a try against Lu Feng. The result was very surprising. Harper actually memorized all the running habits and scoring hot spots of everyone in the Sonics, and at the same time, he also Read Carlisle's tactical manual thoroughly!
Lu Feng didn't know what Carlisle was feeling in his heart, but after the assessment, the way he looked at Harper became more and more strange...

Others don't know, but it's impossible for Lu Feng not to know. The things that Harper showed against him before, whether it's skills or habits, are all exactly the same as him.

Lu Feng definitely doesn't believe that Harper is simply imitating himself. After all, no one can imitate his teammates and even copy the core style of play. After all, without Lu Feng's ball rights and status, even if he learned these things, it would be useless. ?

Harper is not simply imitating, but trying to replace Lu Feng!
Lu Feng: Good guy, you were looking for an opportunity to usurp the throne, right? I finally caught you!
Harper: Hey, there is no such thing as usurping the throne. After all, accidents happen to everyone. If one day, Lu Feng, you are unlucky and get injured, I can help you support the team, right?

Harper realized that his "conspiracy" was seen through by Lu Feng, so he smiled awkwardly at the other party, and then spread his hands and said, "Look, I just said I can!"

Kemp on the side was very excited. Although he didn't know why Harper was so powerful, he made up his mind that he must learn from the other party, but he didn't know if Harper would be willing to tell him the secret of becoming stronger in the morning!

Lu Feng: What, Kemp, you also want to rebel?
