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

Chapter 169 Su Wen, he is so reliable!

The score difference came to only 1 point in an instant.

The score difference came to 1 point again.

75:74

This makes it a bit difficult for Sonics fans.

They had caught up to such a point difference before, but the Celtics quickly widened the gap. Now, they can only hope that the team can stabilize and complete the lead.

"Come on, don't get pulled away again."

"My heart can't stand this score."

"Su, it's up to you!"

If it weren't for the fact that there were about ten minutes left in the game, the Supersonics fans in front of the TV would have had their hearts explode with nervousness.

If the score difference is large, they will be in a much better mood. Whether they lose by a big score in the end or win by a big score, it is always a matter of acceptance.

When the fans are behind by a big score and may not have any hope of winning, their mentality will be much better.

With a big lead, the fans will feel more relaxed when the hope of victory is right in front of them.

Only the anxious score and the point difference that can never be overcome are the most tormenting.

Tonight's SuperSonics are so torturous. If you have a weak heart, you should just quit.

When the score difference was back to this distance, McHale and Parish played again.

The two succeeded in beating their opponents, and Danny Ainge suddenly hit a three-point shot. After scoring, in comparison, the Sonics' offense struggled a bit.

Su Wen failed to hit the basket and was grabbed by his opponent. Davis's downward attack was blocked by McHale. Davis's pass to Chambers was intercepted by Johnson.

The score difference came to 5 points again.

82:77

"Ahhh! My heart."

"Being pulled away again, oh my God, it's so unbearable."

"Damn Celtics, the overall strength is still too much better than ours."

"Why did Su miss that shot? Hey."

Sonics fans let out another cry.

Wilkens on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore and handed over the timeout again.

"Hold on! There is not much time left in the game. Our first task is to persevere and stabilize our mentality. We cannot let the temporary lag in the score affect our mentality."

The first time he called the players to come over, he cheered them up, encouraged them, and asked them to adjust their mentality.

Young players are no better than the experienced guys from the Celtics who can quickly adjust themselves and have enough experience to cope with such an anxious and high-intensity game.

Young players need people to encourage them and build momentum.

Especially the core Suwen.

No matter how good his mentality is, after being forced back to the point difference by his opponents one after another, there will inevitably be some impact.

He was fully prepared, but he had only played for two or three years. Compared with veterans who had been playing for five or six years, or more than ten years at most, their experience was much less.

Wilkens paid special attention to him, "Su, don't care about the score or loss of that goal. Our offense mainly relies on you."

"When you stand up, it means that the team's system can be quickly revitalized. Therefore, you don't need to worry about the gain or loss of a goal, which will affect your own mood."

In fact, by the time they reached the finals, the tactical system that Wilkens and the coaching staff had built on a daily basis had long since disappeared.

The intensity of this series is too high, and the opponent is such a strong defending champion. Their rotation system in the regular season and even in the Western Conference Finals has been dismembered in front of the Celtics and is no longer a system.

Now we rely more on Su Wen to drive the team's offense.

The entire series really depends on Su Wen.

If he can't win at this point, he will lose directly.

And those three games they lost were like that.

Because there are too many young players in the team, they are unable to cope with the high-intensity confrontation of opponents and random psychological adjustments at any time. Su Wen must always rely on Su Wen to step up and score and lead the team forward.

In other words, in this round of the finals, without Su Wen, they can surrender directly.

There's no way to fight!

Otherwise, when he cannot perform well, when the team loses and wins, it will be when he scores 50+ or ​​60+ in a single game.

This is a real one-man army!

In the history of the league, only he and Chamberlain can do this.

Especially Su Wen!

In many games, he has to play first.

And Zhang Erwan can only see his omnipotence in the regular season, his invincibility when the gods block the gods, and the Buddha blocks the Buddha. In the playoffs, he will stop.

This is the reason why he cannot be like Bill Russell and can maintain the intensity of the regular season in the playoffs and win more championships.

Of course, this is also caused by the unequal strength of the lineups of the two teams.

In addition to Bill Russell, that Celtics team also included Tom Heinsohn, Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman, Sam Jones, and later John Hafley. Check, Bailey Howell.

These are all superstars, all players who can average 20+ points per game. They don't need the King of the Rings to score, they just need to do a good job of protecting the frame and defending.

Zhang Twenty Wan could not help it.

Throughout his career, he has not partnered with many superstars, and even only when he was with Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, and when he partnered with Good Greer and Chet Walker during the Philadelphia 76ers. Only then did he win his championship.

Because someone helps him share the scoring pressure, he can devote himself to defense.

In the playoffs of these two seasons, he averaged very few points per game.

During the 76ers period, he averaged less than 22 points per game;

It was even less during the Lakers period, with only a pitiful 14.7 points.

In other words, Zhang Erwan will not achieve any results just by scoring points alone. He must have a superstar partner to unleash his defensive abilities.

Zhang Erwan is called a regular season superstar because of this.

The performance in the playoffs is far behind the regular season.

Although his peak period was before the transformation, he averaged 30+ per game in the playoffs.

"Yes!"

Su Wen nodded in agreement and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Tonight's game is really stressful for him.

There are 8 minutes left in the game and the score difference is 5 points. He has already played for almost 42 minutes and has almost no time to rest.

The head coach didn't dare to replace him, and he didn't dare to replace him, because the team's offense would collapse as soon as he got off the field. Even if he doesn't score, he still has to stand on the court and help his teammates attract firepower.

This is not only very tiring, but also very tiring.

Wilkens once again emphasized that others should provide more cover for Su Wen and strengthen the penetration of the inside, and then sent everyone on the field.

The championship belongs to these last eight minutes.

And these eight minutes are also the last eight minutes of the season.

The war begins again.

As soon as Su Wen came on the court, he encountered Johnson's close defense, almost closely.

Obviously, the Celtics have changed their formation, no longer letting the slower-moving Bird lead the defense, and replacing it with the defensive strongman Johnson.

Just to limit Su Wen's offense as much as possible.

Davis searched for a long time, but couldn't pass the ball to him, so he could only bring it inside.

At this time, the Sonics' offensive formation changed.

Wood forcibly got rid of Bird's entanglement, stepped forward to cover Su Wen, blocked Johnson, and let Su Wen cut inside.

Su Wen, who arrived inside, was able to catch the ball and was about to take action when Anji appeared and blocked him.

Suvin's action was delayed slightly, and then Bird switched defense. At the same time, Johnson also broke away from Wood's entanglement and wrapped up from the left.

Su Wen did not force the attack, but distributed it to Wood who was left open.

Wood rushed to the basket, and when he was near the bottom of the basket, Parish abandoned McCormick to cover.

The ball was immediately in McCormick's hands.

As soon as McCormick caught the ball, Parrish was back on guard again. He also did not force the opponent to attack the frame. Instead, he stuck the opponent, put Su Wen into the basket, and then distributed the ball.

Su Wen got screens one after another, and after going straight to the basket, he caught the ball and attacked the frame.

"Shh!"

He jumped up high, and when McHale was covering for defense, he avoided the opponent's interference with one hand in mid-air and picked the ball into the basket.

An extremely difficult pull-up layup, completed.

After this goal was scored, both the small group of SuperSonics fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV all celebrated with great excitement and pumped their fists.

Because this score not only proves that Su Wen can still maintain an amazing state and scoring efficiency, but also proves that he is still the only person in the team that can be relied on.

Su Wen, so damn reliable!

The Celtics had the ball, they pushed forward unhurriedly, fell into a positional battle, and controlled the tempo.

After everyone was in position, the basketball came into the hands of Parish inside. They wanted to rely on his strength to play back with high quality.

After all, McCormick, who has average talent and is still a white inside man, has never been a match for Parrish.

Parish lived up to the team's expectations, turning around and hitting a shot over his opponent.

Even though Bird has been restricted by Su Wen, he can become the most stable scoring point in the team.

The point difference is still 5 points.

The Sonics offense is not in a hurry and avoids unnecessary mistakes caused by excessive pursuit of speed.

During the timeout, Wilkens emphasized this point, focusing on a success rate.

After Su Wen worked hard for a long time, he broke away from Johnson's difficult defense, received the ball from Chambers, and rushed towards the basket.

It was McHale who made up the defense again.

When Chambers passed the ball, he went from the baseline to Su Wen's front to intercept.

But he was still a step too late. Su Wen had already taken off and threw himself high in the air. When he pounced on him, the basketball had already been thrown into the basket along Su Wen's fingertips.

"Shh!"

It was very easy to catch the ball and lay up. Su Wen scored two more points.

The score difference returned to 3 points.

But Su Wen no longer bothered to look at the score difference, and retreated quickly after he succeeded.

The Celtics advanced and planned to continue the positional battle, but in order to avoid allowing Parish to score easily as in the previous round, Su Wen suddenly made an unexpected move when Parish turned around to attack.

He got away from Bird and ran to double-team.

The sudden double-team caught Parrish off guard. Just when he was about to take the ball, McCormick saw his teammates coming to double-team him, so he felt confident and went straight to take the ball from the opponent's hand.

In an instant, the ball turned into a hug. McCormick simply grabbed it when Parrish was confused.

Then, the basketball was snatched away by him.

After succeeding, McCormick quickly passed the ball to Su Wen, who immediately launched a counterattack.

He had just taken possession of the ball and was about to rush forward. When he encountered Bird's interception, he turned around, passed the opponent, and rushed towards the half court.

As soon as he moved, the Celtics' defense became trembling, and Ainge and Johnson retreated desperately.

When Su Wen advanced to the top arc, he saw Anji rushing towards him, ready to intercept, so he braked and made an emergency stop to take action.

"Shh!"

Three points!

Another three points!

This time, his pursuit three-pointer was like a fatal blow to his opponent. He hit it accurately and completely tied the score difference.

Suddenly, all the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were shocked!

"Yes! It's even!"

"Three-point hit, tie! Ouch!!"

"Oh my god, it's finally tied! Ahhh!"
