Chapter 322 The Birth of the Strongest Su Chuu

Waves of sound formed by MVP shouts, wave after wave.

Su Yang waved lightly, and walked towards the bench with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

And around the Knicks bench, Joe Johnson and others looked black, as if they had suffered a great humiliation.

In the commentary, Stephen Smith narrowed his eyes slightly: "I never expected that New York fans would give Su Yang the MVP status in the away game. If I remember correctly, the player who enjoyed the MVP shout here last time was Kobe..."

In February 09, the Lakers played away against the Knicks. Kobe made 2 of 31 shots, 19 of 20 free throws, scored 20 points and led the Lakers to victory. When the game was finally determined, the Knicks fans chanted him as the MVP .

"Why, do you think he is unworthy?" Brin asked with a smile.

"No, no..." Stephen shook his head repeatedly, "Based on his current performance, of course he deserves to be called MVP. I was just surprised that the Knicks fans accepted it too quickly. Back then, Jordan and Kobe had accumulated a lot of honors before being called MVP..."

Mark Jackson answered: "I understand what you mean. Su Yang was called for another reason. His performance was too shocking. Not to mention Knicks fans, even professional players like me have the urge to applaud from the heart. It used to be ugly. When someone plays like Su Yang, he brings a new visual effect to basketball, which is epoch-making."

"It should be the reason you said..." Stephen nodded, staring at the direction of the Knicks bench, "I don't know what defensive strategy our home team players will adopt next. They probably don't want to become a historical background."

In the arena, the whistle sounded.

At the end of the timeout, the announcer announced loudly that on the Knicks side, Landry Fields came on to replace Gallinari, and on the Clippers side, Tucker came on to replace Jordan.The two teams seem to have a tacit understanding, and at the same time they have become a large and four small lineups.

"I'm so familiar with Mike..." Van Gundy looked at D'Antoni on the other side of the court and laughed. "Whenever the team he coaches falls behind by more than 10 points, he will start a fast-paced chasing lineup. It hasn't changed for so many years."

Su Yang and the others chuckled, then turned around and walked into the court to take their positions. The referee blew his whistle to signal the start of the timer.

"LETS GO New York!" The audience followed the DJ and shouted in unison, cheering for the Knicks.

Felton received the ball, quickly took it to the right side of the frontcourt, and then slowly walked to the top of the arc. The Knicks presented a V-shaped formation.Once he was at the top of the key, Fields started from the right wing, covered by Chandler, crossed the free throw line, and went straight to the left half.

The area below the free throw line was cleared in the right half, and Felton bounced the ball to the right elbow.

Chandler caught the ball with his back, stepped forward and bowed, his eyes fixed on the left half.At the same time, Chandler, who ran to the left sideline, set up a screen for the wall, and Joe Johnson kicked off and ran straight along the baseline to the right half.

George tried his best to catch up, but was still half a beat late because of being delayed. Johnson successfully received the ball in the short corner on the right.

The two confronted each other head-on, and Johnson made a three-threat move, bent his knees with his left foot as the axis, and stepped forward with his right foot.

George frequently adjusted his defensive steps following the rhythm, and Johnson suddenly moved sideways and jumped, making an emergency stop and rushing to shoot two points.

This kind of movement is purely to grab the rhythm of the center of gravity, and then rely on strong explosive power to complete it, the speed is very fast.

In a hurry, George jumped up and slapped Johnson's palm with a slap, and the basketball hit the basket and iron.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, whistled for a foul by the thug, and gave two free throw opportunities.

"Crack, clap..." There were bursts of applause in the arena, and some spectators shouted Joe Johnson's name loudly.

Perhaps feeling the support from the fans, Johnson looked a little better and walked towards the free throw line with a smile.

With his hands on his hips, George walked up to Su Yang and whispered, "Boss, how should we defend against this kind of ball?"

Su Yang thought for a while: "Try to limit receiving the ball. Once a large space is formed, my personal experience is to either limit shooting or limit breakthroughs. Because of the NBA-level heads-up, if you want to completely lock a player, even if you are very The third substitute who played less will be very difficult, which is why they have to run tactics just now."

George nodded silently. Amidst the cheers, he made two free throws and the Knicks chased 17-26.

At the transition of offense and defense, Su Yang catches the ball and advances in the backcourt, and the audience follows the DJ and shouts defense in unison.

In a blink of an eye, he was taken to the left wing of the frontcourt, and he passed it to Gordon who was raised up, and then rushed to the bottom corner head-on.

The Knicks players originally wanted to double-team the zone defense, and the formation had already been set up, but seeing such a movement, they could only continue to implement the man-to-man defensive strategy, while Gordon stopped on the sideline with the ball, observed for a while, and threw the ball to the sideline. Left 45-degree three-point line.

George bowed to catch the ball, pouted his ass and waited against Johnson, and after Gordon passed the ball, he went straight to the corner.

Su Yang took the opportunity to shake off Felton and run out, but it was a pity that Chandler switched defenses and was delayed after only two steps.

The Knicks' defensive strength suddenly increased. Seeing that there was no chance of an easy outside cut, Su Yang twisted his hips and diverted to rush in.

Gordon returned to the left wing to receive the ball at the same time, while Su Yang made an emergency stop and diverted in the paint and went straight to the top of the arc.

Felton hurriedly started to catch up, the speed was extremely fast, but after George passed the ball, he ran to the free throw line ahead of time, and together with Randolph, who had moved across, they formed an elevator door with a wall, and it was obvious that only Su Yang could pass through it alone.

"Switch, switch..." Felton hurriedly shouted, pointing at Johnson with one hand and Stoudemire with the other.

In an instant, Johnson turned around and stepped up to grab, blocking the passing route between Gordon and Su Yang in advance.

The Clippers failed in their second attempt to play for Su Yang. With only seven seconds left in the attack time, the audience took the opportunity to boo and interfere.Seeing this situation, George ran back to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, and set up a human wall as a positioning screen.

Gordon made a breakthrough at the start, kicked twice to reach the top of the arc, and faced Felton in a dislocation.The weight gap between the two was too large, and Gordon didn't hesitate to lean close to him, pushing Felton abruptly to the right waist, facing Stoudemire to make up defense, and made an emergency stop for a jumper.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the ring and was caught, 28 to 17.

The boos suddenly stopped, Stephen let out a long sigh of relief, shook his hands and said: "When you start to deploy defenses against Su Yang, another strong rookie player Eric Gordon starts to play, which is quite disappointing."

"I understand your feelings..." Mark Jackson chuckled, "Eric Gordon is also a star player, but Su Yang's performance is so dazzling that people ignore his existence. The Knicks have to choose between two cups of poison."

In the transition of offense and defense, Felton ran the ball across the center line, raised his hand and hit the ground to Chandler, and ran to the left with Stoudemire.

The two invisibly established a continuous screen, and Joe Johnson took the opportunity to raise the left 45 degrees and easily catch the ball.

But Johnson took the ball and did not rush to attack. Instead, he observed for a while, handed it back to Chandler, and then started to rush to the right elbow.At the same time, Felton walked the bottom line, cut outside, and also ran to the right elbow.

The off-ball screen was formed, Johnson slanted into the short corner on the right, and Felton cut across the left sideline.

Stoudemire, who was originally on the left, stepped up and set up a human wall to block Su Yang from catching up. Felton received a pass from Chandler, twisted his hips, turned around and ran to the left corner again, a misplaced duel Randolph switched defenses.

Su Yang squeezed through the screen to catch up, but Stoudemire jumped high to catch the ball, landed and went straight to the basket.

Tucker stepped forward to make up the defense, and there was a big collision head-on, Stoudemire made a shot and the referee whistled for a foul.

The audience cheered and applauded, and Stephen frowned slightly: "Although this attack was successful, the tactical movement is very complicated, and there are not multiple options. If we play again next time, the Clippers should recognize it and restrict it."

"The basis of formulating tactics is the player's ability..." Mark Jackson said, "Stoudemire's long-range shooting ability is relatively poor, and he needs to use less space. In addition, Felton's vision is relatively small, so there are naturally fewer long passes. .”

On the court, Stoudemire made two free throws, 28 to 19.

At the transition of offense and defense, Su Yang took the ball from the bottom line and advanced, and the audience once again shouted defense in unison.

Felton approached at the LOGO position, put pressure on Su Yang in advance, and directly blocked the right and put the left.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang changed hands, turned sideways and forced his way, and Felton immediately blocked the left and put the right.

Anyway, he was only allowed to go to one side, obviously to guide Su Yang into the key defensive area of ​​the Knicks.

The two wrestled for a while, and ran to the right and left sidelines. Randolph hurriedly went up to the wall to cover.

Stoudemire stepped forward without hesitation, and joined forces with Felton to form a pincer attack, not giving a chance to break through.

"If you pass the ball immediately when you encounter a double-team, it will be too easy for the Knicks to defend..." Su Yang thought for a moment, bowed his center of gravity to protect the basketball, and stared at Randolph who opened the inside, while slowly Move forward.

Although the speed is very slow, it is still on the right wing in a blink of an eye, and the available space is already very small.

At this moment, Stoudemire suddenly bent down and stretched out his hand, and rushed towards Su Yang, joining forces with Felton to press him.

In a flash, Su Yang pulled the ball and turned around, took off with Stoudemire on his shoulders, and threw the ball to the free throw line.

Tucker took off to catch the ball, Stoudemire hurried back to defend Randolph, and Su Yang turned and ran to the right corner.

In just half a second, Felton turned his head to watch the ball and lost the opportunity, unable to keep close to catch up.

Boos suddenly exploded, Su Yang rushed to the left corner smoothly, raised his hand to catch the pass from Tucker, caught a glimpse of Felton leaping towards him from the corner of his eye, dodged slightly sideways calmly, and finally met Stoudemire. Defense, rush to shoot a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 31 to 19.

"BANG!" Brin shouted excitedly, "Su Yang's personal score reached 27 points, a miracle is in preparation!"

"The Knicks' defense is already very good..." Stephen sighed, "It was only a little bit short. Felton turned his head to observe the movement of the basketball. It was an instinctive behavior. Su Yang took advantage of that opportunity to run out of space. It can only be said that he is better. "

"With the double-team defensive strategy, this situation often occurs." Jackson said, "Maybe the defense is close to perfect in the first 20 seconds, but from the No.20 second, many loopholes will appear at the same time, as if encountering machine gun fire."

In the transition between offense and defense, Felton quickly dribbled the ball across the center line and quickly used Stoudemire's cover to break through. '

Randolph calmly waited at the free throw line, Stoudemire's screen quality was average, and Su Yang easily bypassed the interception.

In the blink of an eye, Felton had nowhere to go, so he had to throw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Joe Johnson caught the ball and stepped forward. Facing George's defense, he didn't play singles. He turned around and passed the ball back, but when he passed the ball, Stoudemire was running over to cover him. tacit agreement.

After doing this, Stoudemire was unwilling to continue to cover, leaving Felton alone to face Su Yang outside the three-point line.Perhaps because of Su Yang's arrogance, Felton slumped his shoulders and dashed two steps sideways, hastily passing the ball long to the left sideline.

Chandler received the ball wide open, facing Gordon who was back on defense, he jumped up and made a three-pointer, and the basketball hit the basket and hit the iron.But after he made the shot, he seemed to be unable to make a hit, and ran to the basket early, grabbing an offensive rebound before the Clippers could react.

The audience burst into cheers, and the basketball was passed twice and fell into the hands of Johnson at the top of the arc.

But at this time, Su Yang was in charge of defense. The difference in stature was a bit big, so he was very suitable for heads-up.

Johnson resolutely rushed close to the body, rushed all the way to the paint with Su Yang, and easily combined the ball for a layup.

The basketball rebounded into the net, the Knicks chased 21 to 31, and the audience cheered and applauded.

The Clippers immediately launched a fast break. Su Yang caught the ball and took it to the left side of the front court, and rushed to the top of the arc with the help of Randolph's cover.

Stoudemire continued to team up with Felton to double-team. Regardless of Randolph who cut inside, Su Yang directly hit the ground and passed the ball.

With a bang, Randolph dunked from wide open and scored, and the whole attack only took five seconds.

"If I were coaching the Knicks..." Stephen said, "I would give up the double-team strategy against Su Yang, because the investment is too much and the return is too low. It is better to save Stoudemire's energy and play better on the offensive end. .”

"I agree 100%..." Jackson said, "They arranged one big and four small lineups, obviously trying to chase points through a fast pace, but until now, they haven't even played a fast break, but the Clippers have played a fast break."

On the court, the basketball continued to pass, and finally fell into the hands of Landry Fields, and the result was a three-pointer.

Tucker grabbed a defensive rebound, Su Yang stepped forward to take the ball and rushed, and the Clippers launched another fast break.

The Knicks seemed to be powered off, and the previous high-intensity targeted defense completely disappeared.

Su Yang easily rushed to the left 45 degrees, and with the help of Randolph to cover Felton, he took another step and made a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 36 to 21.

At the same time, the central large screen gave a text prompt: Su Yang has scored 30 points in the first quarter.

At this time, with 54 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Johnson advanced with the ball in the backcourt.

That action, it is obvious that as the head star, he wants to hit an AnswerBall in response to Su Yang

The other Knicks players hurriedly opened up the space, and Johnson immediately staged a singles show, and finally made a strong shot against the double team.

The basketball went into the net with a bang, and Su Yang beckoned to grab the serve, then took the ball and rushed forward.

Players from the two teams followed up one after another, and the scene became quite chaotic.

Su Yang didn't want to cover. After changing directions and sliding continuously, he rushed into the paint area in one line, and picked the basket along with Stoudemire.

With a bang, the basketball rebounded into the net, and Su Yang scored 32 points.

The boos on the scene have not stopped, the Knicks also rushed to the fast break, Felton also rushed into the paint, but did not dare to stick to Randolph to force a layup, and chose to pass the ball to the bottom line, and Chandler got the ball , carrying Tucker for a layup.

boom!The basketball bounced off the board and fell.

Felton jumped up, caught the basketball and turned around, raising his hand to throw it.

Su Yang saw the timing, jumped up with his hands up high, and intercepted the ball abruptly.

The basketball flew back under the force, and Su Yang stepped forward to grab it again, colliding with Chandler sideways.

Both fell to the ground, the basketball flew out of the baseline, and the referee whistled for a violation, giving the Clippers the right to the ball in the backcourt.

With only 17 seconds left in the first quarter, Su Yang caught the ball from the baseline and advanced, and the audience stood up and watched.

The other four Clippers ran to the short corners on both sides early, leaving the entire high position area free.

Su Yang stopped the ball at the top of the arc, stood straight and faced Felton, and changed hands back and forth behind his back at a leisurely pace.

The attack time ticked away, and there were only four seconds left in the blink of an eye. Su Yang dribbled the ball with his right hand and strode to the right.

Felton hurriedly retreated sideways, but only moved his left foot, and his body center of gravity was relatively stable.

But Su Yang didn't care so much, he directly possessed Jamal Mash, turned around from outside the three-point line and made a strong shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter at the same time.

Su Yang scored 35 points in a single quarter, and the voice of MVP resounded through Madison Square Garden again.

Stephen A. Smith stood up with a serious expression on his face.

"Dear viewers, I was born in New York in 1967. Since I fell in love with the NBA at the age of five, in the past 43 years, I have watched Walter Frazier, George Gervin, Rick Barry, and Pete Malawi. Odd, watched Adrian Dantley, watched Isaiah Thomas, watched Michael Jordan, watched Kobe Bryant...

They all have strong scoring abilities, and Jordan is the strongest among them, but tonight, my perception has been refreshed. From then on, Su Yang is the strongest scorer in my heart, and Michael Jordan can only be ranked second! "

After the words fell, Brin suppressed a smile, and Mark Jackson laughed loudly: "Whether Su Yang is the strongest scorer in NBA history is temporarily uncertain, but you must be the one who is the best at praising him..."
