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

Chapter 17 What is the serious No. [-] position?

With the first hearty victory, the victory over the University of Alabama, a team in the first round of last year's national championship with an absolute advantage of nearly [-] points, served as a stimulus. The second game against Florida State University aroused the interest of many people.

Before the game started, the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center Arena welcomed many fans who followed the Auburn Tigers, and many of them were students.

Nearly 200 of these students, some driving their own cars or taking public transportation, flooded into the arena and occupied a large portion of the seats in the auditorium.

"We beat a national championship-level team by nearly 40 points in the last game?"

"Well, we should be able to look forward to them this season."

"Wow! Can we finally look forward to it? We haven't had results in several years."

"Su Wen? Is he the Chinese who beat Charles 5-0 on the open-air basketball court last time?"

"Who knows? But I was attracted by his outstanding performance of 30+10 in the last game."

"It's incredible. A newcomer who just joined the team got such data in his first game. It's so exciting."

"He looks better than Charles, but more observation is needed."

After a group of people sat down, the players from both sides hadn't warmed up yet. They couldn't wait and couldn't wait for the game to start immediately. The name that came up the most was Su Wen, and they all expressed great interest in the latter.

"You only said that the opponent in the last game was at the national championship level, but what about this one? Is our opponent very strong?"

"We don't have detailed information, we just know that Florida State didn't make it to the national championship last year."

"Aww, it looks like we will have another big victory."

"Maybe."

Listening to the comments from the fans from his own camp around him, Domingo smiled secretly.

They didn't know how strong their opponent was, but he still had some idea.

This Florida State team has not reached the national championship in three years. The most recent time was when they reached the second round in the 79/80 season.

That year, they gave birth to two NBA players, but before this team could reach the national championship again, these two guys had disappeared from the NBA.

Since then, Florida State has struggled, like Auburn, always one breath away from the national championship.

This year's Florida State is mediocre in strength, but it does have the serious No. 210 position that the Auburn University coaching staff has longed for, a tall post with a height of over [-]cm - Alden Gibson.

Alden Gibson, 211cm tall, is a newcomer to the team this year.

He is relatively thin. In the last game with the team against the Florida Gators of the Southeastern Conference, he scored 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, and led the team to defeat the opponent 67:60.

This game started at the same time as the Auburn Tigers, and the game venue at that time was in this arena, their home stadium.

However, the strength of the Gators is only at the upper level in the Southeastern Conference. They have not reached the national championship for several seasons, and they are far behind the Auburn Tigers.

Therefore, this person's data cannot be used as a reference.

But his height advantage is definitely what Sonny Smith desires most.

However, in the first three minutes of the game, his envy for Florida State University having such a tall center quickly turned into disgust.

It only took Su Wen 4 minutes to defeat this guy and fully demonstrate his shortcomings.

The height brings slow steps, the thin body brings weak strength, and slow reaction. Except for one-handed shooting, Su Wen is outclassed in everything else.

He just rose up, and his inside skills are a mess.

In 4 minutes, he was being trained crazily by Su Wen through his flexible footsteps and impact.

10 points and 3 rebounds, these are the statistics Su Wen scored on him during this period.

And he himself managed to score two points with just one shot that was more than just luck.

In this game, Su Wen showed a strong desire to attack. From the beginning, he kept holding the ball and attacking the basket guarded by Gibson.

In the 5th minute of the first half, the Tigers were forced into a positional battle by their opponents. Su Wenluo was on the inside, three meters away from the basket, and it was Gibson who was guarding him.

Although Gibson's defense was a bit dull and could not keep up with Su Wen's rhythm, he dared to fight repeatedly and struggled with Su Wen.

This time too.

When Su Wen faced him with the ball, he had already stretched out his hand in a defensive posture, trying to keep the former out of the basket.

Su Wen adjusted his breathing, and when the opponent was so ready, he sprinted to the right, forcing Gibson to retreat. He immediately pulled the ball back, switched to his left hand and thrust inward.

It was just a back-and-forth change of direction, not too big. Gibson was still stunned by the speed at which Su Wen made these moves. When he wanted to turn around to pursue the defense, Su Wen had already reached the basket before he even adjusted his center of gravity. , jumped lightly and hit the ball into the basket.

"A two-meter-one center, that's it?"

Seeing how easily Su Wen completed this attack, not to mention Smith, even the chief assistant Jeff Friend who was sitting aside expressed disgust.

"You've grown so tall."

Smith, who was standing in front of the chief assistant coach, didn't say anything, but the twitching of his face when he looked at Gibson already explained the problem.

What a waste of this height!

Smith felt so disgusted that he wanted to take this man to the hospital for a resection operation and put his height on Su Wen.

He believed that if Su Wen had such a height, even if he participated in the draft this year, he would at least be in the top three, not to mention being a guaranteed number one pick.

Seeing his team gain an eight-point advantage in the first four and five minutes, Smith sat back in his coaching chair.As soon as he sat down, Flanders on the side smiled and said: "Sonny, maybe it's a good thing that we don't have a serious No. 5 position."

"If the No. 6 position is serious, guys of this size are similar to this opponent's No. [-]. I would rather have more short No. [-] positions like Su and Charles."

"It's different, Jeff."

Smith looked at the so-called opponent No. 6 in Friend's mouth - Gibson, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There are not many people like Su."

“In the years I’ve been coaching the Tigers, this is the first time I’ve seen a player of Su’s caliber.”

Although the basketball world in this era is not as focused on the player's talent itself as it was in the 90s after Jordan, more emphasis is placed on individual height and static talent, which is the so-called center who wins the world.

But when the talent gap is so obvious, there are still many team managements who prefer to choose players with better talent.

Otherwise, Charles Barkley, who is 1.9 meters [-], would not have been selected with the fifth overall pick in the first round after only leading the team to one NCAA national championship and returning home in the first round.

You must know that the sixth pick is Sam Bowie's teammate and one of Kentucky's twin towers, 211cm Melvin Turpin.

Playing next to Bowie, who had attracted national attention in high school, the attention Turpin received was not something ordinary people could compare to.

Even the two big insiders Otis Thorpe and Kevin Willis, the ninth and 11th pick, are higher than Barkley, and their teams have better results in the NCAA national championship than him.

Barkley's talent advantage is simply too outstanding.

Even if he has the same delicate skills as outsiders, he also has an invincible big butt, flexible footsteps and extremely terrifying impact.

And this kind of Barkley is just considered by the coaching staff to be the 'poor man's version of Su Wen'.

It is conceivable that Su Wen's talent is highly valued by the coaching staff.

The first half ended quickly, and as the 15-minute intermission entered, the fans from Auburn were in a joyful mood, and their happiness was unrestrained.

At this time, they had already established a 24-point lead, which was even greater than the previous game against the Alabama Trail Blazers.

52:28
The Tigers not only scored 50+ points in the first half, but also held their opponents to less than 30 points.

The whole process was extremely easy.

Although offensively, the Tigers were not as aggressive as in the previous game, they were able to beat the opponent to death defensively.

Especially Gibson.

He was able to score 20 points in the last game, but he faced Su Wen in this game and only scored a pitiful 5 points in the half.

Su Wen's defensive ability was average, but his own strength and intensity of confrontation were beyond the ability of the thin Gibson to cope with.

"How many points has Sue scored?"

Seeing that their team defeated their opponents in the first half, many fans were happy and paid the highest attention to Su Wen, who performed best in this game.

"20? 30? Not sure."

"Damn it! None of us recorded their data."

"No matter how many points he got, he impressed me today anyway."

"Florida State's No. 6 is no match for him. In front of Sue, that No. 6 looks like a fool."

"I don't know why, but seeing No. 6 being beaten so violently by Su always reminds me of the scene where Charles was also beaten violently by Su three months ago."

"Haha! Man, you know how to recall!"

The fans were talking about Su Wen lively, and they were not tired at all from coming all the way from Auburn to watch the game. They were all in high spirits and their eyes were full of excitement.

In their subconscious minds at this time, they no longer believed that their opponents could make waves and pose a threat to themselves.

In fact it is.

After returning from the second half, Florida State only struggled symbolically in the first 10 minutes. Seeing that they could not get closer to the score, they surrendered and replaced all players on the bench.

Seeing them surrendering, the Tigers also replaced their main players and clocked out.

In just the second game of the new season, the Tigers were given the opportunity to leave work early. The entire coaching staff became calm and relaxed and no longer paid too much attention to the next game.

Especially Smith, after replacing Su Wen, looked at him frequently with doting eyes.

Go to the fucking serious No. [-] position!

I will never pursue any height again!

Ten minutes later, the buzzer sounded, and the second game of the Auburn Tigers came to an end.

In the end, they defeated Florida State 94:61 with a huge advantage of 33 points.

苏文上场时间24分钟，18投13中，罚球7中4，再次轰下30+的30分10篮板3助攻的数据，闪耀全场。

Take another look at the so-called serious No. [-] Alden Gibson.

此人全场13投4中，罚球4中2，只拿到10分5篮板。

Looking at the comparison of the two's statistics, Smith no longer thinks about the serious fifth position.

Florida is not yet the Florida that will not support idle people in the future!
