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

Chapter 121 Unlock the three-pointer!

"Congratulations, Su, on being selected as the Most Valuable Player of the 84/85 regular season!"

When David Stern, as the league president, handed the MVP trophy to Suvin in front of nearly 20,000 spectators at the SuperSonics home court, the latter had just raised the trophy, and the system kept thinking in his mind. There was a loud tinkling sound.

"Congratulations to the host, for winning the NBA regular season MVP award for the 84/85 season for the first time, awarding 2000 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host, he was selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team for the 84/85 regular season for the first time. He will be rewarded with 1000 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host, he was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team in the 84/85 regular season for the first time. He will be rewarded with 1000 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host, for winning the NBA Rookie of the Year award for the 84/85 regular season and being awarded 1000 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host, for being selected into the NBA's 84/85 regular season All-Rookie Team, and will be rewarded with 500 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host for being selected into the NBA All-Star lineup for the 84/85 season. Reward 1000 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host, for winning the NBA regular season scoring crown in the 84/85 season. Reward 1000 experience points!"

"This season's honor inventory has been completed. Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 7500 experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host, you successfully unlocked the three-point shooting project training. The distance to the next unlock is 4005/10000!"

As a rookie, Su Wen was already excited when he lifted the regular season MVP trophy. Now he was even more excited after receiving a series of experience rewards from the system.

Winning the most important personal award in your career, and also being able to unlock an ability training program, is this a double blessing?

Do not!

This is triple happiness!

Because what is unlocked is the three-point ability that is most helpful to him and can best reflect its effect from statistics.

Wuhu takes off!

Su Wen was shocked by the huge surprise. He was so excited that he almost couldn't control himself and smashed the trophy on Stern's head.

If it was Xiao Hua standing next to him at this time instead of Stern, he might really be unable to control it.

Three-point ability.

Although in this era, there is not much emphasis on three-pointers, the three-point line has always been dispensable.

When it is necessary to use it, the players may reluctantly take a shot at the request of the head coach.

When he doesn't need to use it, even a super shooting player like Big Bird thinks that shooting three-pointers is a sissy behavior.

But Su Wen knows that in fact, after the three-point contest came out, various teams in the league have begun to pay attention to three-point shooting.

It may not be possible to create a three-point offensive tactic yet, but at least more and more players are starting to practice it.

Not to mention Bird, the first three-time winner of the Three-Point Contest;

Craig Hodges, second three-peat winner;

Al Ellis, Mark Price, Glenn Rice, even Jeff Hornacek, Steve Kerr, these future superstars or pitchers, all became famous for this.

Not to mention Reggie Miller, who has always had a three-point tag.

This guy is the man who used a three-pointer to kill the ball and play one of the latter's famous playoff tiebreakers.

Unlocking the three-point shooting ability training this time is definitely an unexpected surprise for Su Wen.

Even if he doesn't like shooting three-pointers, it can give him more offensive options. He doesn't have to work hard to attack the inside to score every time he attacks.

He is more intimidating on the offensive end and is even harder to defend.

The bonus of three-pointers to him is simply a geometric increase!

"Su won the MVP trophy. He is the first person in the history of our SuperSonics team to win this honor, right?"

"Yeah, man, it's great that he's the first guy in franchise history to win that award."

"Ouch!!! He is not only the first in the history of the team, but also the youngest MVP winner in the history of the league."

"It's so happy. Congratulations to him. He deserves the MVP award!"

"Our club finally has an MVP, it's so exciting!"

"To be honest, I still can't believe that we have such a player, he is so strong!"

"Yes, he is obviously just a rookie, but he has achieved something that countless senior superstars have been unable to achieve. He was elected the regular season MVP in his debut season! In history, only Wilt and Wes can do it!"

Su Wen was not only excited to win the MVP award, but all the SuperSonics fans in the audience were also extremely happy. The moment he raised the trophy high, the sound of "MVP" resounded throughout the arena.

"Su Wen, MVP!"

"Su Wen, MVP!"

"Su Wen, MVP!"

Su Wen held it for a long time, with a smile on his face.

He took back the trophy when Stern looked like he was about to step off the podium. After hugging Stern, and after the other party said some words of expectation for his future vision, Suvin returned to the bench and that was the start. Get ready to warm up.

Little did he know that the scene of himself toasting was deeply engraved in the minds of countless people.

Among them were Adrian Dantley who was also at the scene, Michael Jordan, a young man who successfully went home to fish, and Charles Barkley, Suvin's former teammate.

Not to mention the magician who has always been called the "Black and White" together with Larry Bird.

Magician: I was the one who came first, but this guy got the trophy first.

The moment he saw Su Wen lift the coveted trophy, the smiling big black man felt sour in his heart.

Damn guy!

Danzi angrily turned off the TV, aimed at the pillow in his arms, and punched it hard.

After he had almost vented his dissatisfaction, he frowned and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and went to turn on the TV again.

He doesn't want to see Su Wen, but he wants to study his future opponents in the finals!

Right, that is it!

I'm not envious of that guy, I just want to study the Jazz team.

"Pay attention, our defensive focus has always been Su!"

"On the inside, we only need to watch out for Chambers. The focus of defense on the outside is Su! He is our main target tonight!"

"As long as we block Su as far as possible from the perimeter, or even the three-point line, and prevent him from touching the ball, we will win half the battle."

"I have been emphasizing that Su is the reason why the SuperSonics team is strong. He averages 36+ points per game and is the main reason why this team ranks second in the Western Conference."

"Once we lock Sue down, you will find that winning is so easy." Before the game, Utah Jazz Frank Layden said to his players.

He emphasized the defensive focus of this game and vowed that as long as Su Wen was prevented, the Sonics could easily win.

He even mentioned Su Wen's performance in the regular season and believed that the reason why the Sonics achieved such results this season was all because of Su Wen.

Just take away Su Wen, who averaged 36.6 points per game, and guess what?

Hey, I won!

Therefore, Layden focused more on John Drew, the team's best defensive player. "John, your task on the defensive end is to prevent that guy from beyond the three-point line."

"Okay, Frank!"

John Drew, who was 198cm tall, nodded in agreement with a solemn expression.

Raiden looked at Dantley again, "Adrian, you should also pay attention to Sue. Help John anytime and anywhere. If necessary, you can double-team."

In fact, during this period after Layden advanced to the Western Conference semifinals, he actually emphasized defensive content, but offensive tactics were rarely emphasized so deliberately.

The pressure Su Wen put on him was really too great. He had to consider squeezing the other person to death at all times before he could say anything else.

He waved his hand and sent the strongest starting lineup on the field. He looked at their backs and fell into deep thought.

In order to use more defensive resources to take care of Su Wen, he put Mark Eaton into the starting lineup in this game, and Thayer Bailey guarded the inside and took on the task of protecting the frame.

The rest is to try our best to restrict Su Wen.

No. 224, Mark Eaton, cm;

No. 211, Thurl Bailey, cm;

No. 198, John Drew, cm;

No. 196, Adrian Dantley, cm;

No. 183, Ricky Green, cm.

This starting lineup, as soon as it came on the court, competed with the SuperSonics in terms of defensive ability. As long as the opponent launched an attack, the other team would immediately pounce on it and bite them.

The Jazz knew that they might not be able to compete with the Sonics on the offensive end, so they planned to defend from the beginning.

They pressed the defense in the half-court area like a mad dog, catching the SuperSonics off guard to a certain extent. The offensive end frequently came to a standstill, and the ball possession was not running smoothly.

Su Wen was also chased by John Drew at all costs, and rarely had the chance to score directly.

The Jazz's defense at all costs had great results. The Sonics only scored 22 points in the first quarter when the offense was extremely unsatisfactory.

However, because they spent too much energy on the defensive end, the Jazz's own offense was not very good. They only scored 25 points, only 3 points ahead of the SuperSonics.

Returning in the second quarter, Su Wen increased his running without the ball, trying his best to get inside through team screens.

Drew, who had been pestering Su Wen for the whole quarter, had some physical problems and began to be unable to keep up.

As long as someone is covering for Su Wen and blocking him, it will be difficult for him to keep up.

At this time, Dantley had to distract him and switch defenses with Drew.

Su Wen took the opportunity to attack the Jazz's inside line and struck out repeatedly.

Because the Jazz had a monster in Mark Eaton inside, Su Wen did not choose to attack the basket head-on. He only shot in the area one step away from the free throw line.

He had a good touch. He took 11 shots in the second quarter, hit 8 goals, made 6 of 5 free throws, and scored 21 points in a single quarter.

Because of his strong performance in this quarter, the Sonics reversed the offensive decline in the first quarter and overtook the score.

54:49

The SuperSonics temporarily lead by 5 points.

Entering the second half, the Jazz changed their formation.

They took out the aging John Drew and replaced him with the younger Darnell Griffith.

Drew was an All-Star player in the 54s and was born in .

Although he is still in his prime, when he was young and healthy, he averaged 24+9 per game.

However, he has suffered too many injuries and suffered a lot in his life, and his body parts have suffered serious wear and tear, making it difficult to sustain normal high-intensity consumption.

Griffith is 4 years younger than him, in his prime, and has no injuries. It can be said that he is in a stage where his body is as fierce as a tiger.

In his peak period, he was also an All-Star player averaging 20+ per game.

However, his height is shorter, only 193cm.

This time he came on the field, and instead of guarding Su Wen, he switched to Al Wood and asked Dantley to guard Su Wen.

Su Wen came back in the second half. Compared with the old, weak and sick John Drew, the young and energetic new MVP winner is still full of energy.

In the third quarter, he once again exerted his strength in the second half, hitting consecutive shots, one person defeated the Jazz, and scored 16 points in a single quarter.

Even if the younger Dantley switched defense, he still couldn't stop him from scoring.

As soon as Su Wen opened this point, the Sonics' overall offense also opened up.

In the final quarter, the Sonics hit two consecutive offensive climaxes of more than 13 points, and finally won the home game without any blood.

117:95

The SuperSonics beat the Jazz by 22 points and led their opponents 1:0 with a total score.

刚拿起MVP奖杯，全场27投18中，罚球13中10，单场又轰下46分5篮板6助攻2封盖的苏文，再次当选为本场比赛的MVP。

The entire arena was almost overturned by the unanimous shouts of 'MVP' from countless fans.

Frank Layden's defensive deployment against Su Wen before the game still failed!
