Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 124 Sweep the Jazz and advance to the Western Conference Finals!

Su Wen held the ball, broke into the inside line, made another dry pull, and returned the ball.

Easily scoring two points, he once again said to Drew, who couldn't keep up and was already out of breath: "Give up, call Adrian to guard me."

"It's so boring to play against you."

"!!!"

Drew was so angry that he wanted to punch Su Wen twice in the face.

But he still held back.

He is different from Danzi.

Danzi is proud, and Su Wen's series of trash talk will definitely ignite him.

Drew doesn't have such a proud heart, and he doesn't have the right to be proud in front of Su Wen.

In his first year in the league, he averaged 36+ points per game. At his peak, he only averaged 24 points. The gap is too big.

But Su Wen has been using his teammate Dantley to stimulate himself, and the clay figure has three points of fire.

Although this method of sowing discord is obvious, simple and crude, it is also directly effective for Drew, who came to the Jazz halfway to provide for his retirement.

What he hates the most is hearing that he is useless and has to have his teammates wipe his ass.

No matter how good-tempered Drew was, he was constantly stimulated.

In particular, when Su Wen was double-teamed with the ball in the next minute, he resolutely chose to rush in alone. With his extraordinary speed, he dodged the double-teams between him and Ricky Green, reached the penalty area, and hit another shot. Marking the distance, Su Wen sarcastically said again: "Look, you've asked someone to come and wipe your ass again."

"That's it, you can't guard against me."

"Hurry up and get Adrian."

Ah you you you!

John Drew blushed instantly and trembled with anger.

Fortunately, Green, who was on the side, persuaded him in time, "Don't pay attention to what he said."

"He's messing with your mentality."

Of course I fucking know!

But I can’t be angry!

Drew was so mad that he wanted to bite someone.

He looked at Green's neck and gritted his teeth. After enduring it for a long time, he finally managed to hold it back.

However, in the following game time, Su Wen always glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and then walked away as if nothing had happened.

With that kind of silent contempt, he almost exploded on the spot.

Even after halftime, when he returned to the locker room, Drew's entire face was still purple.

What's even more annoying is that when he came back in the second half, Frank asked Darnell Griffith to replace him again, and he could only sit on the bench and sulk.

In the next 24 minutes, he could only play during the rotation, and then watched helplessly as the team raced on the edge of elimination.

109:97

They lost this battle again.

Lost the third game by 12 points.

The total score between the two sides was 3:0.

They were pushed to the brink.

Su Wen made 23 of 18 shots from the field and 10 of 8 free throws. He scored 44 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks. When he came off the court, Su Wen showed his hands to him and provoked him for a while. He was so angry that he stood up from his seat. Stand up.

Ricky Green on the side seemed to notice the situation between the two of them, and quickly grabbed him, "Calm down, don't be affected by him."

"If you rush forward now, tomorrow it will only be reported by the media that we lost games and people."

"It makes no sense."

These words successfully persuaded Drew, who sat down angrily.

The devil's home court, is this it?

In fact, Su Wen did not purely provoke Drew, he just subconsciously provoked the opponent's bench.

The real target of his provocation was more of the audience.

They had won somewhat easily tonight, but now they were not interested in provoking Drew, the veteran who was about to retire.

Defeating the Jazz again, the SuperSonics' qualifying situation became increasingly clear.

They are one win away from reaching the Western Conference Finals.

Under such circumstances, all members of the Sonics were not in a happy state of mind, but they were pretty much the same.

Just like T-mac's classic saying, they can happily study their next opponent.

Su Wen is fine. He takes every opponent seriously and doesn't look down on him.

But the other young people in the team couldn't help but feel elated.

Especially El Wood, during training, he would always open champagne at halftime from time to time, skipping the Jazz directly to discuss whether their next round opponent would be the Lakers or Rockets.

Currently, the Lakers and Rockets are also fighting each other for another spot in the Western Conference Finals.

One is a strong established team and the favorite to win the championship;

A newly talented team with twin towers inside, the possibility of winning the championship is not small.

However, the night after the SuperSonics led the Jazz 3:0, the two teams tied at 2:2.

The Lakers, with Jia Ba, finally suffered from the Rockets' interior twin towers.

The two games they lost were due to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy being blown away inside and unable to form effective frame protection.

In his prime, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was an expert at protecting the frame, but now that he is old, it is very difficult to deal with the young and energetic Sampson.

In the first four games, Sampson averaged 25+11 per game on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It can almost be said that he defeated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

James Worthy also had a hard time facing the flexible Olajuwon, who was half a head taller than him. The latter had 30 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks and 27 shots respectively in the two games he won. Points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks.

Facing the Rockets' inside twin towers, the Lakers had a huge headache and had to change their formation many times to deal with it. However, it has had little effect.

Although Magic averaged a super double-double of 19.3 points and 16.7 assists in four games, he has never been able to play the role of an attacker.

In the next three games, the Lakers coaching staff, headed by Pat Riley, must find better ways to limit the Rockets' powerful inside line.

In addition to the playoffs in the Western Conference being in full swing, the top four in the Eastern Conference are fighting with similar results.

The only surprising thing is that the defending champion and the defending runner-up also encountered stubborn obstacles.

After winning two games in a row at home, they lost two games in a row on the road, and were tenaciously equalized by the Pistons.

The total score between the two sides is currently tied at 2:2.

Compared to the Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers, like the SuperSonics, played very easily.

The 76ers first defeated the Bucks 127:105 and 112:108 in the away game. After winning two games in a row, they returned and defeated their opponent again with a slight advantage of 109:105 and 4 points.

They are just one step away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In these three games, Charles Barkley performed well, averaging 28 points, 19.0 rebounds, 9.0 steals and 3.5 blocks in 1.5 minutes per game as a substitute.

He totally lived up to his worth.

This is the current situation of the top four in the East and West.

On the night of May 5th, the league has a total of two games, and both of them can determine the place to advance to the next round.

SuperSonics and Jazz, 76ers and Bucks.

In this game, the Jazz burst out with unprecedented energy and seemed to be fighting to the death.

In the first quarter of the game, they bombarded the SuperSonics basket and led into the second quarter with a 35-point advantage at 29:6.

They continued their efforts in the second quarter and scored 36 points in a single quarter. At halftime, 71:61, they led by 10 points entering the intermission.

In this game, there was a problem with the SuperSonics' overall state, or in other words, their mentality inevitably fluctuated.

Almost all of them are young players. With the total score leading so much and only one game away from promotion, they behaved very impatiently. Whether it is Chambers, Wood, or even Su Wen, they just take the ball and do it. I want to kill my opponent with a stick.

However, the more anxious they became, the more things went wrong and their tactics failed to work out at all, forcing Wilkens to constantly hand over timeouts to stabilize them.

But after 48 minutes of fierce battle, they still could only accept the fact that they lost 108:116 in the away game by 8 points.

The total score between the two sides was tied at 3:1.

After the Jazz saved a game from the edge of the cliff, the fans in Salt Lake City were ecstatic and the atmosphere suddenly exploded.

The local media continuously reported on this game, deliberately belittling the Sonics and thinking that their opponent was just a paper tiger.

As long as the team can continue to play the way they played in this game, it is not impossible to become the team that finally advances in four consecutive games.

The media are still so optimistic, let alone the fans.

Even the Jazz players themselves began to feel confident and kept making declarations in front of media reporters that they would win the next game.

On the other hand, the SuperSonics.

After a defeat and being poured cold water on them, the entire team, led by Wilkens and other coaching staff, held a meeting and mobilized to force the players back from their overachieving mentality.

"You should know."

During the meeting, Wilkens said solemnly: "If we take a huge advantage of leading three games and are defeated by our opponent in four consecutive games, we can turn around and come back."

"We will definitely be nailed to the shame rack of league history."

"In the future, whenever someone talks about which team in history was killed like this, we will definitely be on the list!"

"We will be taken out and whipped to death again and again, and we will become the laughing stock of others again and again."

"Presumably, you don't want to do anything, right?"

"Yes, Lanny!" all the players shouted back: "We don't want to!"

"I don't want to either." Wilkens snorted coldly: "Who wants to be the background board?"

"So, we must win!"

He stared at everyone with extremely sharp eyes, "We must win the next game!"

Under Wilkens' mobilization, the Sonics regained their composure and fighting spirit.

On the evening of May 5, three days later, their fifth game against the Jazz officially began.

The SuperSonics played extremely strongly from the beginning. Whether it was Su Wen or others, they were full of energy and launched waves of team attacks. They defeated the Jazz in the first quarter.

Especially Su Wen.

In the first quarter, he relied on various off-ball movements, made consecutive shots, and scored 15 points alone, leading the team to a 41-point lead over the opponent 25:16.

The Jazz were completely stunned. They had not yet recovered their breath after returning from the second quarter. Then they were beaten by the SuperSonics for 36 points, and they only scored 28 points.

In the first half, 77:53, they trailed by a full 24 points.

Back in the second half, the Jazz launched a desperate counterattack, fought aggressively, and faced off against the SuperSonics.

Unfortunately, they were not in good shape that night and were beaten by all members of the SuperSonics. When the score was stretched to 37 points, the Jazz surrendered.

The last quarter has become garbage time.

Both sides sent in substitute lineups, and the starters officially clocked out in the third quarter.

In the end, the SuperSonics dominated the entire game, beating their opponents by 134 points 98:36.

4:1

They did not allow their opponents to complete a major reversal. The Gentlemen swept the Jazz and advanced to the next round.

In this game, Su Wen took 27 shots, hit 17 goals, and made 14 of 10 free throws. He scored an astonishing 44 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 blocks in three quarters, becoming the MVP player that night.
