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

Chapter 200 Defeat the Lakers! Crazy magician!

At night in Los Angeles, the lights are bright.

After a day of bathing in the scorching sun, the city does not seem hot at night. Instead, the gentle autumn wind blows, making people feel cool.

Su Wen didn't come to Los Angeles many times. Most of them came because he traveled with the team to play away games.

This time, too.

When I arrived here by plane from Seattle at noon, it was already afternoon.

After resting for a while at the hotel, it was night time again.

The sky is beautiful, the stars are bright, and the night is sultry.

A group of teammates wanted to take advantage of the beautiful scenery and weather to go out and hang out.

At this time, the streets of big cities were not as protected from intrusion anytime and anywhere as in later generations, and the public security was still quite good.

This is far from the racial chaos of 92.

Others, such as James Worthy, Michael Cooper, Byron Scott, etc., walked over one after another and stood behind Chambers.

They traveled together as a group of tall, tall and thick-mannered guys, which naturally attracted the attention of many local people.

They suddenly appeared and blocked most of the lights. The guys playing cards finally came to their senses and raised their heads to look at this group of uninvited guests in shock.

When Su Wen and others went shopping, almost all the fans they met had this feeling of "regret".

"If you just won the championship like them, you would be proud."

"WTF? You want it too?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm not a big name anyway!"

"Kujo!"

"These people look a bit impressive."

"Judging by their uniforms, yes!"

They used their own training hall in the morning, while the home court was given to the visiting team for training.

Thinking that it was Su Wen who led the team to eliminate them from the finals and win the championship, they felt panicked.

"No, they at least contributed to the team's championship. Isn't it normal to feel proud? Especially that Su"

"Hey, I feel heartbroken every time I think about Jerry missing out on SU because of maintaining a championship lineup."

At that time, Asians and yellow-skinned people were bullied by everyone.

A group of people gathered around a table, with one person sitting in the southeast and northwest corners. They were all so absorbed in playing that they didn't even notice the magician and others coming.

After all, when a group of two-meter tall men suddenly appeared on the street, everyone turned their attention to them.

According to their script at this time, if West was willing to trade a general on the team for a high pick in the draft to win Su Wen, last season's championship would be theirs.

"East Wind!"

The local fans, who were originally just unhappy with all the Sonics traveling together, now became unhappy with Jerry West.

Although they believed that the team management headed by Jerry West was right to reject Su Wen in order to maintain the championship lineup, at this time, they saw with their own eyes that Su Wen led the team to eliminate them in the Western Conference Finals in seven games. After reaching the finals and winning the championship, they inevitably blamed West for missing Su Wen.

"Man, don't forget, some stars can't do it even if they want to get away with it. For example, our poor Elgin Baylor didn't wait for the championship until his retirement season."

They can also complete their revenge against the Celtics!

"Hey! Leave me alone, I'm not a big name anyway!"

"boom!"

"It's true when you say that! What a pity for Elgin. When he retired, the team won the championship. For this reason, he even refused to receive the championship ring. Because he thought that winning the championship had nothing to do with him, but he was still playing at the time. It’s in the team’s lineup. We’ve played at least 9 more games, and it’s not just a casual win.”

"Are you really good at it, Tom, even with the prefix?"

"Is that a Sonics player?"

Accounting after the fall

Hindsight.

No one is exempt from vulgarity!

"Hooray!"

At noon on the second day, the Lakers starting five, who had practiced all morning, walked into the visiting team's locker room one by one under the leadership of Magic.

At this time, when they came to the home stadium, they purely wanted to say hello to the visiting team.

"Bah! It's just a lucky win."

"Damn it! As soon as you mentioned him, it occurred to me that he could have been one of ours, but Jerry rejected him. Damn it Jerry!"

The Sonics staff in the player tunnel did not refuse their visit. Seeing their arrival cheerfully, they stepped aside one after another.

But as soon as they entered the locker room, they heard strange terminology.

It’s hard not to reach out and hit the smiling guy, let alone being led by a magician. This smiling guy is a local hero in Los Angeles and is more popular with the locals than most Hollywood stars.

"Ah! It was Su who defeated us last season. Otherwise, the championship would most likely be ours."

"So, when is Jerry retiring?"

Seeing the visiting team playing a card so enthusiastically that he had never seen before and couldn't name, the magician was very interested and walked straight behind them without saying hello.

At the same time, Su Wen and others, who were doing their own thing and not participating in the card game, also discovered the magician.

"What are you doing here?"

As soon as Su Wen saw the magician, he asked angrily, "Are you trying to spy on the military?"

"Military information?"

The magician looked at the four people in the card game: Chambers, Al Wood, Karl Malone and Bill Walton. Wait, why is this old guy also playing?

He raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Is this what your military affairs are about?"

"Aren't you convinced?"

Su Wen didn't say anything, but Bill Walton smiled and said: "We are setting up a fascination array. Can you see the real military situation?"

"tsk"

The magician crossed his arms and looked up and down at Bill Walton, with a surprised look on his face, saying, "I didn't expect an old guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be this kind of person." "Bill, you have fallen!"

He really didn't expect that a veteran superstar with great military exploits and injuries, but who still wanted to pursue glory, would get together to play cards with young guys like the Sonics, which refreshed his senses a bit.

"What kind of depravity is this?"

Wharton said with a smile on his face, "I play occasionally to relax."

"How about you come?"

He stood up and gave way.

The magician's eyes lit up and he was eager to try, but the next second he refused, "I can't do it!"

In the future, the God of Basketball will be like a gambler in the eyes of fans. It seems that he does not gamble or have fun in his spare time, and the media can often photograph him fooling around in casinos.

Moreover, this guy regards gambling as a sign of "competitiveness" and thinks that he just wants to win.

Therefore, he bets on almost everything and wants to show his strong competitiveness. Even if it is a game of "heads and tails" of flipping coins, he still wants to bet on it.

In fact, the magician is almost a gambler, but he is not as addicted as Danzi.

Seeing the new cards and gameplay, he was instantly aroused.

However, he had just seen this kind of thing and didn't know anything about it, so he didn't dare to end it rashly.

"It's easy to learn." Wharton clapped his hands and said with dignity, "I can teach you!"

At this moment, Su Wen looked at the magician with disgust, "No need to teach him, he can't learn it."

"???"

Are you looking down on me?

The magician immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, dragged Wharton away from him, and sat on it himself.

As soon as he saw him sitting down, Chambers immediately winked at the remaining two players, roughly saying: The target is in the game, and here comes the novice gift package.

The so-called novice gift package is obviously the newbie tuition that magicians have to pay.

"What is this thing called? How to play it?"

After the magician sat down, he rubbed his hands excitedly and prepared to do something big.

"Mahjong!"

Wharton explained with a smile: "I heard from Su that it is a national quintessence from China. People there generally play this game, and it is also very popular in many Chinatowns."

As he spoke, he began to teach the magician in his own way of understanding.

Su Wen stopped making any noise after the magician sat in. He kept looking at the magician with a smile, as if he was looking at someone who was taken advantage of, and his eyes were full of amusement.

The three Chambers were already rubbing their hands excitedly, ready to kill the newcomer.

The rest of the Lakers didn't object to Magic's immediate participation in the card table. They stood aside and watched with interest. Worthy even turned into an obedient student in an instant, listening to Walton's teaching class. .

Wharton's teaching can be called a model of "on-the-spot teaching", allowing magicians to learn while playing.

"The way to play mahjong is to sort out the chaos. For example, if you get one, two, thirty, six, seven or eight, this is a straight, a ready-made card pattern. You also have the four prefixes "southeast, northwest, southeast, northwest," Generally you don’t want it, you can just fight it out.”

"The two five-cylinders you have here can be used as eyes." "Three red ones are also a card type."

Good guy, haven't you revealed all his cards?

Su Wen burst out laughing when he heard Wharton's words.

He had reason to suspect that Wharton wanted to secretly communicate with the other three people in this way.

This teaching is pretty stupid!

Sure enough, in the first lesson of Wharton's teaching, he completely revealed all the magician's cards. The three Chambers understood it clearly as soon as they heard it, and they immediately cheered up.

So his cards are so good?

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, deliberately appearing calm and calm, waiting patiently for the two of them to play their cards.

The magician studied very seriously. His expression was startled, but he kept Wharton's teaching content in mind. He was completely unaware that all his cards were told in front of three opponents.

Obviously, he lost the first one and fired directly at Wood.

Wood is pretty cunning.

As soon as he knew his cards, he played cards where the opponent had cards. In addition, the cards in his starting hand were quite good. When the magician threw out the last loose card, he yelled, " What a fool!"

The magician was listening and playing with great interest. As soon as he saw Wood pushing cards, he decided to let go. Although he was a little resentful, he immediately couldn't wait to start the next game.

He is fascinated!

When Wharton saw Wood's Hu card, it was still one of the cards he was teaching. He smiled at the other party and began to teach the first hand tacitly.

Then just like that, Magic and others, who had just finished the morning training, spent the entire afternoon playing in the visiting team's locker room.

And this afternoon, not only did the magician understand and master the gameplay of mahjong, he at least paid a lot of tuition.

None of the three Chambers are messing around, they just wait for him!

At night, the magician, who left the card table and paid a high tuition fee, just rested for a while and began to prepare for the evening game.

When he came on the court to warm up and chat with Su Wen and others, this guy was still chirping and said with unfinished content: "Don't leave in a hurry tonight, we will fight for another 300 rounds."

Chambers, Wood, Malone, and even Walton, he shook everyone's hand and said this, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to find poker friends after the game.

Everyone was happy.

This match between the league's first and second teams, a strong dialogue, attracted tens of millions of fans across the country.

When the players from both sides finished their warm-up and jumped the ball in the middle circle, countless people sat in front of the TV and held their breath.

"Snapped!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took the lead and won the opening ball for the team.

As a veteran who has been in the league for more than ten years, he easily defeated McCormick with his extraordinary height and wingspan, as well as countless jump ball experience.

In the following game time, the Lakers' offensive end also used their rich combat experience to defeat several opponents in a row.

But what he didn't expect was that McCormick only played a few minutes in the starting lineup, and the rest of the time was given to rookie Karl Malone.

From the beginning, Lanny Wilkens planned to play against the Lakers and play at a fast pace.

As soon as Malone came on the court, everyone in the Lakers knew they were going to speed up.

as predicted.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just scored a goal here, and Su Wen accelerated his advance and led a group of teammates straight to the basket. Before he could come back, he passed the ball to Malone for a layup.

However, this goal will not affect the Lakers.

Magic dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and before Su Wen could get close, he suddenly stuffed it in, and the basketball was instantly in Worthy's hands.

As soon as Worthy reached the position against Chambers, he immediately received Magic's pass, turned around and threw the ball into the basket.

Looking back, Suvin faced Michael Cooper's defense.

After he connected with Davis forward, he got the ball. Again, before Cooper could bully him, the basketball was passed from his side to Malone in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

With his flexible feet and ferocious impact, Malone caught the ball and hit a layup in three steps.

The aging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar faces a young man like Malone, and his movement speed and flexibility are at a disadvantage.

Magic received the serve, continued to advance, and passed the ball again when he passed the center line.

The basketball came to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hands like a cannonball, and the latter hit Malone's hook with a hook.

Dumas came back and rushed inside, received Su Wen's pass, made a jump shot and hit it.

After the SuperSonics changed their formation, they had a fierce battle with the Lakers. Both sides were back and forth. You scored a goal, and I responded immediately. The score reached 34:36 in the first quarter, and the SuperSonics were slightly behind by two points.

When entering the second quarter, the Lakers strengthened their perimeter defense.

Especially for Su Wen, double-teaming was carried out.

Once Su Wen got the ball, Cooper and Scott immediately flanked him and intercepted his passing route.

This trick worked very well. After Su Wen failed to pass the ball continuously, he handed the ball back to Davis, allowing him to organize the offense and return to the shooting forward mode.

For his first goal, he started to connect with his teammates, drove the ball straight to the basket, and made a throw to Worthy.

For the second ball, after a burst of passing balls from the outside, he appeared in the penalty area, caught the ball and shot, and he hit.

For the third goal, it was Su Wen again. After running to the bottom corner, he took the ball from Malone and scored a three-pointer.

Then he suddenly shot a cold shot while wandering outside the three-point line with the ball, and the three-pointer hit the frame.

Then, when Davis was pinned down at the top of the arc, he received the ball and immediately started to rush inside to make an emergency stop and hit again.

His series of scoring, after scoring 16 points, stopped the Lakers.

At this time, the Lakers were 46 points behind at 53:7.

From leading by two points to falling behind by seven points in just five minutes, there was only one Su Wen difference.

The Lakers changed their defensive formation again, hoarding troops inside to guard against Su Wen's breakthrough.

At this time, Su Wen took control of the ball and began to organize the offense.

He used pass after pass to break down the Lakers' interior defense. As soon as the opponent retreated inside, he would immediately distribute the ball to his teammates on the outside.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Within three minutes before the end of the first half, the Sonics' offense, under his coordination, made consecutive shots, widening the point difference even further, to 15 points.

At halftime, Pat Riley frowned.

He feels that the overall strength of this new Sonics lineup has been further improved, and some are terrifyingly strong.

So far, he has replaced AC Green, the ascetic warrior he won in this year's draft, to enhance his defensive strength on the outside. He replaced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and he is also faster than his opponents on the offensive end.

Back in the second half, the Lakers changed their formation. The Sonics knew what they wanted to do, and the offense ran faster.

Almost everyone doesn't stop when they get the ball. They will always pass it out the next second and give it to a teammate in a better position. The offensive pace is so fast that it is dizzying.

The Lakers were not to be outdone.

Under Magic's scalpel-like passing, they also played an extremely efficient offense. In the third quarter, they kept fighting with their opponents, and no one was convinced.

41:38

Both sides played a high-scoring quarter, with the SuperSonics slightly behind by 3 points.

When they saw that the score difference between the two sides was still 10 points, the Lakers played even more fiercely in the final quarter, bombarding the SuperSonics' basket like crazy, catching the ball and shooting again and again.

They hit a 14:6 offensive climax and almost tied the score difference.

At this time, Su Wen stood up and hit two consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line, opening the point difference to 10 points again.

Then there were two more sudden points, which were given to Malone and Chambers. They completed two finishes and ended the opponent's counterattack with the final word.

"Di!"

As the final buzzer sounded, the SuperSonics finally defeated the Lakers, their strongest Western rival, 135:128, with a 7-point advantage, and continued their winning streak.

And the battle for first place in the league came to an end.

The SuperSonics, which has won 16 consecutive games, continues to top the league with 17 wins and 1 loss!

The Lakers' previous record of 13 wins and 2 losses has also become 13 wins and 3 losses, directly trailing the SuperSonics by more than two wins. They were instantly surpassed by the 14 wins and 2 losses of the Celtics and ranked third in the league.

At this time, the first and second tiers of the league became increasingly clear.

In the first group, SuperSonics 17 wins and 1 loss;

Celtics 14 wins and 2 losses;

Lakers 13 wins and 3 losses;

In the second group, the Bucks had 14 wins and 6 losses;

The Nuggets are 12-5;

The Rockets have 12 wins and 6 losses;

The Pistons have 12 wins and 6 losses;

The remaining teams have all lost more than 8 games and belong to the third tier.

"Don't forget, we will fight until dawn tonight."

"Uh"

Su Wen and others were speechless when they saw that the magician, instead of showing any signs of depression because of losing, happily told him and others to prepare to participate in the card game immediately after the game ended.

It seems that the loss of the game did not make this guy lose interest in playing cards.

He's completely crazy!
