Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 79 Participate in the dunk contest?

After losing to the Spurs, all members of the Sonics ushered in their own Christmas holiday.

Although the game in November was uncomfortable, the game in December was extremely comfortable for the Sonics. They only had a game on the last Saturday of the fourth week, which meant that the Sonics had a full 11 days of rest!

Of course, there's nothing supersonic about Christmas Day.

The NBA has been running the Christmas game for many years, but in the past few years, the ratings of the Christmas game were not very satisfactory.

David Stern decided to make some changes. The Magic Bird Contest has been used for too long, and it is time for the alliance to change.

Since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired, the Lakers have never been involved in a championship. Only Worthy and Maggie obviously cannot tear apart the tough defense in the West.

The Celtics have suffered consecutive blows. Big Bird's back was broken, the draft was unlucky, and a lot of meritorious deeds are aging. The Celtics are now weak and can't find a good successor.

Although Lewis is good, David Stern knows that a team cannot be supported by one person alone.

This year's Christmas game, the league has only arranged one game: Bulls vs. Pistons!
Although the Pistons have encountered a lot of trouble this season, their two consecutive championships have given them a lot of popularity even though their record is not very good.

The Bulls led by Jordan are the biggest challenger to the Pistons in recent years, and Jordan is also a player that the league has favored in recent years.

In the Supersonic team, Bill Russell announced a 4-day holiday, and the Supersonic players should go home. Lu Feng did not take any business activities, and planned to take a good rest for 4 days, and at the same time review the final exam at home.

Lu Feng did not give up his studies. It is not difficult for him to get a degree certificate while playing basketball. The University of Washington has given him a lot of convenience. There is no shortage of players in the NBA who go to school while playing.

After the supersonic vacation, Lu Feng also gave a group of people he hired a vacation. Nutritionists, training games, and various personal trainers all chose to go home to rest.

Kemp and Avery also packed up their things and went home. Avery is also a little famous now. Although he is not as good as Kemp, his ferocious and passionate offensive defense still attracts many fans and media. After signing Falk, he also made a lot of money.

Of course, in addition to fans and the media, Avery has also attracted the attention of many teams. In this life, the Spurs may not want to replace him cheaply. It will take a lot of money to trade him. Don’t forget, Avery's contract is only 2 years and 15 yuan, and if he gets it, it's almost free prostitution!
Now that the two have no financial crisis, Kemp intends to listen to Falk and Lu Feng's concerns and play for one season before signing the sneaker contract. He has taken a fancy to the house next to Lu Feng and plans to buy it next season.

Dana Barros has also attracted the attention of many teams. His 4-year 200 million contract is only in the second year. Many teams want to recruit him. Even if there are only two years left, it is only 2 years and 100 million. That's all.

一个在超音速能拿场均14+3+6的全能一号位，价格只有2年100万，很多球队都在向超音速报价想要抢走达纳·巴罗斯。

But after the Sonics talked with him, they tended to let him play for another two years, and then renew the contract in advance, first sign and then trade him, in exchange for chips for the team.

There are many advantages to doing this. The Sonics can use Bird’s right to offer him a big contract. Of course, Dana Barros wants more ball rights, but he doesn’t want to go to a big team. own spirit.

He doesn't mind substituting Lu Feng for two years. Besides, the Sonics often play small lineups, and his number of starts will not be less.

In addition, Jones also designed a lot of tactics for him. Although the possession of the ball is not as good as the four supersonic kings (Lu Feng, Kemp, Harper, Perkins), it is not much less.

Lu Feng has a lot of small skills. In Dana Barros' opinion, staying at the Supersonic for two more years is not a bad thing. He can learn a lot from Lu Feng.

Lu Feng will not hide it, no matter who asks, he will not be stingy to hide his secrets, even Kemp is learning footwork from him.

The swinging step is undoubtedly the most suitable for Kemp, and his long legs are really suitable for this technique.

The only thing to note is that once you learn this technique, Kemp must never gain weight, otherwise his soles, ankles and Achilles tendons will not be able to bear it.

Kemp's balance is very good, he has top turning speed, and there is no problem with his basic dribbling skills. As long as he can develop a stable mid-range shot, he can become a mid-range killer that no one can crack.

On the night after playing the Spurs, Russell announced the holiday, and Lu Feng and the three returned to Mercer Island that night.

Lu Feng's home is not in Seattle, but on Mercer Island, which is a small island in the middle of Lake Washington, with Seattle to the west and Belleville to the east.

Mercer Island is an island for the rich. There is no shortage of entertainment and commerce on the island. Although the population is large, the law and order has always been guaranteed. In order to make the rich people on the island live at ease, the police station on Mercer Island patrols 24 hours a day. There are also various anti-crime policies.

Lu Feng bought a sea view villa in the northwest of Mercer Island. Now the Seattle Sports Center arena is used for the supersonic home arena. Lu Feng is not far by car. It only takes half an hour to get there. Fortunately, Traffic jams are rare in Seattle, and Lu Feng's commute is not troublesome.

In Lu Feng's memory, Seattle's home arena will be replaced by the Key Arena in a few years. It is a bit far from his home, and it takes an hour to drive.

Lu Feng heard Barry mention that he has a plan to build a new stadium, but the construction has not yet started, and it will take a few more years.

Early Sunday morning, Kemp and Avery left in a hurry. After the two earned money, they couldn't wait to go home and give the money to their mother.

Both of them have many brothers and sisters. Now that they have money, of course they have to take care of the family.

This is a common situation for black players. Why does Pippen have to sign a 7-year 2000 million contract no matter what? No matter how Jordan and the Bulls boss persuade him, it is useless?

The reason is that he was worried that his injury status would decline, so he thought about signing a longer contract. He has 11 brothers and sisters. In addition, his father and one brother are disabled, and he needs to pay for them.

On Sunday, friends who cared about Lu Feng called one after another, inviting Lu Feng to celebrate Christmas together, but Lu Feng had no such plan, and they all declined politely.

On Monday, Beckinsale came to Lu Feng's house and brought a turkey.

"Luck, I heard you were home alone for Christmas, do you mind if I come over?"

Lu Feng froze for a moment, then explained: "I'm Chinese, and I don't celebrate Christmas."

"I know, I don't believe in religion... well, although many British people are Catholics, they are not devout. That's what I am."

"Aren't you spending the holidays with your parents?"

Beckinsale put the turkey down and said: "They have no friends in the United States, so of course there is no need to celebrate Christmas. In the UK, the most important thing to celebrate Christmas is not to have a holiday, but to attend various parties and visit neighbors and friends. To be honest Yeah, that sucks, tiring and boring."

Beckinsale continued: "Christmas should be doing nothing, no Christmas tree, no work, no troublesome communication, lying at home for a day is the best holiday!"

"By the way, do you have a barbecue grill and barbecue sauce at home? If not, we will buy them in the afternoon."

Lu Feng also became interested. He hasn't cooked for a long time, and it just so happens that the chef is not around these days. He can try to see if his skills have deteriorated.

In the afternoon, the two ran all over the market to buy a bunch of meat and vegetables.

Of course, pork is absolutely unacceptable. After staying in the United States for so long, Lu Feng feels disgusted whenever he sees pork. Pork that is not castrated is really unpalatable!

The two marinated all kinds of meat on Monday, prepared the oven and the like, and waited for Christmas.

Then Lu Feng realized that he bought too much food at once, but it’s okay, anyway, Christmas and Spring Festival are almost the same, the picture is a lively and festive one, if you can’t finish eating, you can store it in the refrigerator until Camp and Avery come back. Just solve it for them.

December 12th, Tuesday, Christmas, moderate snow...

Lu Feng got up early in the morning, hung the roast duck into the big oven, and at the same time took out the marinated steak, served it with onions and various spices, wrapped it in tin foil, and put it in the big oven as well.

Lu Feng doesn't know how to cook turkey. Anyway, Beckinsale is the one who handles the turkey. He spreads various sauces on the marinated turkey, and then puts it in the microwave.

Then Lu Feng started to deal with other dishes, beef spring rolls, beef balls, stewed lamb chops...

Of course, there are also some indispensable devil dishes, such as preserved eggs, looking up at the stars... ahem, there is no looking up at the stars, only steamed fish and various normal seafood.

When Lu Feng was cooking, Beckinsale held a camera and helped him record the cooking process.

At noon, Lu Feng filled a large table with dishes, and at the same time he did not forget to take out his camera to take a photo. In this era without mobile phones, every photo and every video is precious. You can't get tired of watching it.

Everything was ready, and the two were about to have dinner when the doorbell of Lu Feng's house rang.

"Jeff, isn't it Christmas today?"

Jeff Brown picked up a cardboard box, walked in, and kept saying, "I don't believe in religion, how could I celebrate Christmas? Only a fool would... Well, Kate, what a coincidence, you're here too Rucker?"

"I mean the Americans, it's normal for the British to celebrate Christmas... wait a minute, why are you here as an Englishman, you don't celebrate Christmas?"

Lu Feng took the cardboard box from Jeff Brown speechlessly, and asked, "What is this, turkey? I have cooked enough dishes today!"

"Turkey? What are you thinking, how could I bring you that kind of thing? Don't worry, I brought you the characteristics of American Christmas." Jeff curled his lips confidently, then threw his gloves aside and walked in kitchen.

"Gift Crab, Luke, so many dishes are too much, you are a basketball player, even if today is indulgence day, this is too much!"

Jeff Brown was startled by the dishes at Lu Feng's house, and said loudly in surprise.

"In order to protect your career, let Uncle Jeff help you with these things!"

Lu Feng looked at Jeff Brown speechlessly, he could find good excuses for himself every time, no wonder he was so fat when we first met, and no wonder Jeff Brown called himself Larry Bird II World……

After opening the cardboard box that Jeff Brown brought down, Lu Feng was even more speechless. What he brought was braised pork!
"In the United States, we usually eat Chinese food at Christmas. It took me a long time to find this sauced pork restaurant. How about it, brother?"

Lu Feng: ...

Damn, I still haven't dodged after hiding for a long time, thank you so much!

After Jeff Brown had a big meal at Lu Feng's house, he left in a hurry. The braised pork was eaten up by Jeff Brown and Beckinsale, and now Lu Feng also began to rejoice that the other party did not bring turkey.

Compared with turkey, uncastrated pork tasted better, and I didn't eat some of the other dishes, except for the turkey, which was eaten by no one except Lu Feng.

Lu Feng was very curious why such an unpalatable thing became the main course of Christmas.

It was rare for Seattle to have another moderate snowfall, and Jeff Brown was not there. Lu Feng dressed up, covered himself tightly, and then went to play in the snow with Beckinsale again.

The two learned the lesson from last time, instead of going to the lake, they simply strolled around the community.

The security of the villa complex where Lu Feng lives is not bad, and casual people like reporters are basically not allowed to enter, and they will be caught soon after entering.

The Christmas game between the Bulls and the Pistons was very good, and the whole process was fierce. Beckinsale accompanied Lu Feng to watch the game.

公牛主场以98:86战胜了活塞，全场最亮眼的球员毫无疑问是乔丹，他全场23投14中，三分球1中1，罚球10中8，拿了公牛全队98分里的37分，另外还有8篮板3助攻3抢断2盖帽！

After Jordan played off the ball, the Pistons could no longer restrict him. In addition, after not having to hold a lot of balls, Jordan can put the saved energy on the defensive end, and he is extremely dominant on both ends of the offense and defense.

The Pistons did not play well in this game. Although it was the Bulls' home court, the Pistons made 11 more free throws than the Bulls, but they still lost to the Bulls by 8 points.

Lambiel's speed is extremely slow. He only helps defend every time Jordan finishes shooting, and he doesn't even have a chance to overthrow Jordan.

Although Isaiah Thomas hit the basket again and again with a lame leg, it was of no use. The referee completely ignored his impact and only gave him 4 free throws.

Just as the Pistons don't like Jordan, the Bulls also don't like the smiling assassin. He and Lambiel are street rats that everyone shouts and beats in Chicago.

The best player for the Pistons was Joe Dumars. He made 14 of 7 shots and 10 of 10 free throws and scored 24 points, the highest score of the Pistons.

The Bulls only aimed at Isaiah Thomas at home, but not so much against Joe Dumars. They gave all the free throws that should be given.

Lambiel was also not targeted, not because the referee didn't want to, but because he really didn't have a chance. Now Lambiel is half-crippled, can't attack and defend, and can't black out if he wants to.

After Christmas, Beckinsale stayed at Lu Feng's house for another day before going back to school. The winter camp at the University of Washington was coming to an end.

"Luck, I have decided to take the test in Washington, can I come and live with you then?"

ha?
Lu Feng was taken aback by her words, and looked at Beckinsale, wondering what he was thinking.

"I can pay the rent, just like Sean and the others!"

Seeing Lu Feng looking at him, Beckinsale quickly waved his hand and said.

"Come here if you want, but you don't have to pay the rent. It doesn't cost much to keep you anyway."

After talking with Beckinsale, one day later, Kemp and Avery returned to Lu Feng's house.

"Luck, I know what to do with my money!"

As soon as he came back, Kemp excitedly said something to Lu Feng, which made Lu Feng tremble with fright.

If Kemp goes back, he won't be spoiled by his group of friends, right?
Lu Feng asked: "Very well, tell me, what are you going to do?"

"charitable!"

"charitable?"

Lu Feng was taken aback, what background do you have to dare to play charity?
Is this something you can play with?
Camp excitedly said: "That's right, it's charity. I plan to build a charity fund to help those children from poor families who are talented in sports!"

Lu Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you told Falk about your idea?"

Kemp nodded easily, and said: "Of course, Falk is very supportive of my idea. According to him, there are many people in the NBA who do this. I can do it with them, and I can also set up my own charity fund. How about Lark? Do you want to come together?"

Hearing that there are many people in the NBA who are doing the same thing, some big-name players are doing it, even a player like Ewing who is stingy and has cerebral palsy, Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

But for Kemp's invitation, Lu Feng refused without a doubt, since his own people couldn't help, how could he have the leisure to take care of those little blacks.

Camp did what he said, and in the afternoon, he went to shoot a public service advertisement reminding him to wear condoms, which shocked Lu Feng.

Who the hell is Kemp?Camp that bastard is everywhere?

Although the trajectory of life has changed, Kemp's brain still hasn't become smarter.

On the second day after the commercial was filmed, the Sonics were training normally. A reporter came to Kemp and asked him to comment on Karl Malone, and then Kemp scolded Malone directly at the camera.

I won't say what he scolded in detail, it's basically saying that Ma Long is not worthy of being a human being.

Ma Long broke a lot of troubles, and Kemp found his pain point this time. Although Ma Long did not respond due to the pressure of public opinion, everyone knew that the relationship between the two had already been formed, and it was basically impossible to untie it.

The Sonics have only one game in the fourth week, which is also their last game in December. Their opponent is the Suns who reached the Western Conference Finals last season.

Two days before the game, Lu Feng received a call from Falk...

"What, the people from Nike are looking for me, what do they want me for?"

"I don't know either. I will bring the negotiating team with me tomorrow. Remember, don't make any promises to them before I come!"

The afternoon before the game, Lu Feng and Falk met Nike.

After getting to know him, Lu Feng realized that Nike came to him to talk about sneakers.

"Luck, we have designed your signature star. It is a sneaker we have never tried before. Your sneaker has added a lot of new materials. We hope you can wear it in the All-Star game!"

Since Nike and Lu Feng signed the "unequal treaty", Nike has been paying attention to Lu Feng's movements.

Although Nike does not think that Lu Feng can do a good job in sports brands, nor does it believe that China has an industrial chain that can support a sports brand.

At first, Nike thought that Lu Feng would make some handmade basketball shoes, but after observing for a while, Nike found that Cheng Qi had been buying various patents under Lu Feng's instruction.

Nike was very curious about what Lu Feng planned to use the patents of those chemical materials for, and after a closer look, he found that some materials were surprisingly good.

Then Nike also bought some patents, and wanted to try to see if the new material sneakers were feasible.

As soon as Falke heard the word "new material", he became anxious immediately, and said quickly: "Wait a minute, can you guarantee the safety of this sneaker? I don't want my customers to encounter any accidents."

Then Nike representatives excitedly took out various data sheets in order to prove the "safety and comfort" of the new material sneakers.

The people at Nike were so excited. God knows how he felt when he saw this pile of incomprehensible data. Now he finally doesn't have to suffer alone.

Falk looked at all kinds of forms, and he was exhausted and couldn't understand what they meant.

In the end, Lu Feng waved his hand and asked directly: "Is there a sample, can I have a look?"

Some regrets appeared on the face of the Nike representative. Falk had just started to look at a few of the densely packed forms, and Lu Feng didn't plan to continue.

He took out a shoe box, and took out a pair of pure white, unpainted sneakers from the shoe box.

"The unpainted ones are almost like this, Mr. Lark, why don't you give it a try."

When Lu Feng saw it, his eyes widened. The reason was very simple, he had these sneakers in his previous life!

Isn't this the Nike AIR series?
Putting this one in front of Lu Feng, although it is not colored, Lu Feng can tell at a glance that it is the Nike Air Penny "Sharpie Pack" of Penny in the previous life.

He played through this in his previous life, and he could recognize it at a glance.

Penny's sneakers were preempted by me?

Lu Feng tried it on, and it really felt the same as in the previous life, and because the shoes were made out of his feet, they were even more comfortable to wear than in the previous life!
"No problem, that's all!"

Lu Feng said happily that Nike made new material shoes in advance, and he finally didn't have to continue to wear the hard-soled shoes that Jordan gave him.

Then, he looked curiously at the Nike representative and asked, "But now the All-Star voting has just started, how do you know if I can make it to the All-Star?"

The Nike representative was getting up and said: "That's the next thing I want to say. We hope that after the All-Star voting starts, you can participate in more shows and canvass for yourself. Of course, we will also help you promote, But you know, there's not much Nike can do about it."

"It's best to be able to start. If not, we will try our best to help you get a substitute. In addition, we hope you can participate in this year's dunk contest."

Slam dunk contest?

Lu Feng suddenly remembered that Kemp said he was going to participate in the slam dunk contest. Wasn't the 91 slam dunk contest the one that made Kemp's popularity soar?

After robbing Hardaway, you want to rob your teammates again?
No, although Kemp became famous because of the slam dunk contest, he didn't seem to win the final championship. In this case, it's not bad to participate.

"That's okay, but I hope to announce my decision later, you know..."

The representative of Nike smiled strangely and said, "Of course, you know... oh, no, we should know, hahaha!"

Lu Feng: ...

I suspect you're being sarcastic, and I have proof!

The matter of sneakers and All-Stars was quickly discussed by the two parties, and there was basically no difference.

The only problem is that Nike named Lu Feng's sneaker series "LUCKY LU", which means "Lucky Kid Road".

During this period, Nike's signature sneakers are not very valuable, let alone star's signature shoes.

Whenever the stars signed by Nike have achieved results, they can't wait to release their signature shoes immediately. Unlike the future, no matter how good they play, they just don't do it!

Lu Feng's English name RAKI sounds like "LUCKY" in American pronunciation, so this series name came about.

What makes Lu Feng dissatisfied is that the name sounds too weak and has no momentum.

But Nike's opinion is that Lu Feng is still too young, and the name of the sneaker series should be cute and weak, so as not to be offensive.

If Lu Feng has good results in the future, then at worst, a new series will be fine, and there will be no trouble.

In the end, Lu Feng had no choice but to accept the arrangement. He could predict that when his series of sneakers came out, Jordan would definitely laugh at him.

Nike's work was over, and the next day, the Sonics flew away to challenge the Suns.

December 12, Phoenix, Arizona, America West Arena...

The arena, which can accommodate nearly 2 people, is full. In the previous two seasons, although the Suns had mediocre results in the regular season, they made it to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, which made countless Phoenix fans extremely excited.

Although the Suns lost to the Lakers once and the Trail Blazers once in the Western Conference Finals, there is no doubt that the Suns have risen to become a Western Conference powerhouse.

Suns fans are all too familiar with the sudden emergence of the Supersonics this season. Isn't this the same script as the Suns?
Of course, Phoenix fans would not be polite to a catfish like the Supersonics. When the Supersonics players played, they booed them one after another.

Lu Feng looked at the excited Suns fans and shook his head disdainfully.

The Suns fans are so excited now, they never imagined that the top management of the Suns is already planning to rebuild the team, and now the Suns are all staring at a Fliggy who lives in Philadelphia and his life is not satisfactory. In order to attract the opponent, the Suns have long Stock up on chips.

This sun will be dismantled sooner or later, no, it should be said that it is already being dismantled.

Since losing to the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals, the Suns' lack of striker strength has been being targeted. The season has just started a month, and the Suns sent away Eddie Johnson, the sixth man of the first two seasons, from the Clippers. In exchange for former Sonics second head Xavier McDaniel.

The current Clippers are constantly fighting, but what Lu Feng didn't expect was that the Clippers finally chose Payton, who averaged 7+3+6 per game.

Dale Ellis was sent to the Bucks by the Clippers, and the All-Star guard Ricky Pierce was traded from the Bucks. Not to mention, the three teams are all satisfied, and their records have improved a lot this month. , There was not much trouble in the locker room.

The Supersonics rested for nearly a week, and the Suns are also one of the opponents of the Supersonics. This game with the Suns has received much attention from the Supersonics.

In this game, the five starters of the Sonics are: Dana Barros, Lu Feng, Harper, Kemp, and Perkins.

The Suns' starters are: Kevin Johnson (PG), Jeff Hornacek (SG), Xavier McDaniel (SF), Tom Chambers (PF), Mark West ( C).

The Suns have a center with the same name as Lu Feng’s University teammates, but West of the Huskies is white, and West of the Suns is a strong black man, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

Lu Feng is in charge of defending the future national father-in-law Jeff Hornacek. Now he has no daughter, and Lu Feng does not know whether his arrival will cause any butterfly effect.

Hornacek's looks are indeed good, no wonder his daughter is beautiful, born with good genes.

Both the Sonics and the Suns are fast-break teams, and this game is destined to be intense.

The coach of the Suns, Cotton Fitzsimmons, is a fast break master. He has only been in the Suns for less than 3 seasons, but he is already very majestic in the team.

His quick defense system and cutting fast break system allowed the Suns to enter the playoffs again after 5 years, and made it to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. Fitzsimmons has become the godfather of Phoenix.

Lu Feng had also heard of Fitzsimmons' name, but what impressed him most was that the opponent's health was not good. After being seriously ill in 96, he left the field after coaching for half a season, and let go after lying in the hospital for a few years Human world.

In the future, the flying pigs will leave the Suns, and Fitzsimmons' departure is one of the important reasons.

The stupidity of the Suns management is that after Fitzsimmons left, he went to the doctor for various illnesses, and even directly appointed Danny Ainge, who had a bad relationship with Fliggy, as the head coach.

Playing for Danny Ainge, can Fliggy not run?

After the start of the game, the Sonics had an overall advantage as soon as they came. There was no other reason, it was simply because Hornacek was completely locked by Lu Feng.

Hornacek is one of the core of the Suns. His shooting ability and attractive defensive ability without the ball can create enough offensive space for the Suns.

After the Suns solved their forward defense problems, they ushered in a new problem.

After Eddie Johnson was sent away, Hornacek became the only reliable shooter for the Suns team. Once he was restricted by a single defense, the Suns' offensive space would become crowded.

Even if the Suns use the pick-and-roll, there is no way to solve the space problem at all.

Of course, the biggest problem is Lu Feng. Lu Feng will let go when he is playing against a weak team, but against a strong team like the Suns, it is impossible for him to relax in the slightest.

Before the start of the game, Lu Feng had already agreed with his teammates not to switch defenses when encountering a pick-and-roll, and Hornacek would just leave it to him alone.

Lu Feng did what he said. In this game, he showed a defensive energy that he had never had before. He used small steps to bypass the pick-and-roll again and again. Every time Hornacek received the ball, he could look up To Lu Feng.

After the first quarter, the Sonics led the Suns by 4 points. The Suns are good at breakthroughs. It just so happens that Kemp is best at defense. Become the Western Library of America.

Kevin Johnson, as the boss of this Suns team, once competed with Lu Feng for the best of the week, but he is good at breakthroughs. Although he also has shots, he is very unstable.

It's impossible for Dana Barros to completely prevent him, but if he only restricts the opponent's shots, it's not that difficult.

Both of them are 185 cm tall, and their wingspans are not much different. The alignment of the two gives people the feeling of looking like a mirror image.

But the difference is that Kevin Johnson is good at breakthroughs, while Dana Barros is good at shooting.

The final result made Phoenix fans completely unacceptable-Dana Barros won!

In the case of similar stature, although Dana Barros's speed is not as good as the opponent's, he relied on better projection to unilaterally suppress Kevin Johnson.

Unlike the Suns fans, the Supersonic fans who watched this game were very excited. Your high-grade horse is not as good as my low-grade horse. Tell me how the flying dragon lost on the face?
After all the outside lines are restricted, the Suns will try to let the old supersonic player Xavier McDaniel be the core of the outside line.

As a player produced by the Sonics, Xavier McDaniel's shooting is not bad, but it is a pity that the defender he encountered was Harper.

The two who had been used as bargaining chips to trade each other had a fierce confrontation in the second quarter, and the final result was Harper's victory over Xavier McDaniel.

Xavier McDaniel's pull-up jumper was easily interfered by Harper, but Harper's coquettish backward Xavier McDaniel could not be restricted at all.

After two quarters, the Suns fell behind by 8 points.

In the third quarter, the Suns could only try to hand the ball to veteran Tom Chambers, but unfortunately, the Suns couldn't beat this point!

This season, Tom Chambers was plagued by finger injuries, and his shooting was far worse than in the previous two seasons. After failing to make two consecutive shots, he chose to play hard against Kemp.

When Kemp saw that the opponent was about to hit back, he quickly greeted Perkins: Brother, come here!

Perkins confidently switched defenses with Kemp, and then Tom Chambers was in a tragedy. He couldn't make a shot, he couldn't play back, and he couldn't play the same effect.

People in all four positions have tried, and the sun has only...

Mark West: Don't look at me, I'm not averaging double figures!
Suns fans: ...

After the last four quarters, the Sonics beat the Suns 112:100 away by 12 points and won the last game in December.

After the game in December, the Sonics have a total record of 12 wins and 7 losses, which can only be said to be average.

Adding up the two months, the Sonics now have a total record of 20 wins and 9 losses, ranking ninth in the league and sixth in the West.

For the record in December, the Sonics are not satisfied, but fortunately, the problem is not too big. Most of the Sonics' losses are due to reasons other than basketball.

After defeating the sun, the time came to 1991.

In January 91, the Sonics had a total of 1 games, and the schedule was not easy.

In the January schedule, the Sonics need to face the Trail Blazers, the biggest opponent in the Pacific Division, and the Jazz, a strong team in the Midwest.

2 games for the Blazers and 2 games for the Jazz, you can see that the difficulty is not small at first glance.

The Blazers' current record is 23 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the league!

The Jazz have 22 wins and 7 losses, fifth in the league and fourth in the West!
On January 1, the Sonics challenged the Utah Jazz away.

Kemp had conflicts with Malone before, and the two had various language confrontations before the game.

At the same time, Lu Feng's act of soliciting votes for himself on the show also drew Ma Long's ridicule.

"A rookie wants to be an All-Star. Who does he think he is? Doesn't he think he can be compared with Larry and Maggie?"

During the interview, Ma Long said directly to the reporter: "The best of the week? Is that considered an honor? Tsk tsk, if he wants to become a real star, he must at least win the best of the month. He is not qualified now!"

The day before the start of the game, the league announced the best of the month in December, and the person who won the best of the month was Karl Malone of the Jazz!
