knife point guard

Chapter 180 [Jordan, why don’t you teach Jack]

At first, no one took the words of the two rulers in the 80s to heart, thinking that this was a new game between an old couple.

Until the Miami Heat took to Indiana's home court.

The Heat's overall lineup is very young. Except for two veterans, Brian Grant and Eddie Jones, the rest are all born in the [-]s.

The starting lineup is Wade, Caron Butler, Eddie Jones, Lamar Odom, and Brian Grant.

The Pacers' starting lineup is: Suhi, Artest, Reggie Miller, O'Neal Jr., Foster.

Before the game started, ESPN interviewed Wade. They made some presupposed questions, asking Wade what he thought of Suzy the Lamb winning the Rookie of the Year, and how he thought Suzy the Lamb performed in the previous round. Obviously not as good as the regular season.

However, the way Wade handles it is interesting.He said: "Hey, man, we've been friends since we were pre-professional players. I'm happy for him, he deserves the Rookie of the Year trophy. Did Jack perform poorly in the last round? The Pacers were four games over Zero."

Wade obviously doesn't want to get involved in these discussions. The overwhelming discussion of Su Xi VS James has made him tired. He just wants to live in peace.

The game started quickly.

Larry Bird sat in front of the television early in the morning. He was sitting in front of the television at Michael Jordan's house.

Bird can be regarded as Jordan's idol, and Jordan has always respected Bird.He also publicly admitted that Bird and Magic were the rulers of the previous era, which was like a kind of inheritance.In contrast, the smiling assassin caught between the big bird, the magician and the flying man is hated by gods and ghosts.

Bird came over to ask Jordan how to improve the stability of players with big hands. Bird came over in person, and Jordan wanted to give him some face.

After Jordan retired, he did not stop caring about the development of the NBA.He has been promoting the expansion of the NBA's new team in the past two years. He used his fame to support the team and began to build a new team in Charlotte.

The league has approved it, and other teams have also agreed to include new members.

Jordan entertained Bird so warmly and was willing to sit in front of the TV and watch the playoffs with Bird because he hoped to get greater support from Bird.

According to NBA regulations, a newly established team has a special privilege, which is the expansion draft.Pick players from other teams, of course... other teams will only put some players that may not be used.

Jordan hopes Bird will give him two useful players. Anyway, the Pacers have many soldiers.

"Michael, what do you think of Suzy the Sheep?" Bird asked Jordan after the game started.

Jordan frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are you willing to put him on the list?"

"No, I mean what do you think of his skill level?" Bird asked.

"I don't know. I don't like him very much." Jordan said simply and clearly: "The first time I saw him, I felt uncomfortable. I don't know why. It was an intuitive dislike."

This feeling is like an old mother who can always find the object of her son's favorite among a group of girls: because she doesn't like it at first instinct.

"You should take a good look at his game. This kid has unlimited creativity and learning ability just like you. Moji and I taught him for a few days, and he improved by leaps and bounds. You should really want to get a real successor, right? Maybe, he Better for you than LeBron."

Bird kept tempting Jordan.

"Honestly, I don't want another Jordan successor to emerge. In fact, it's impossible for anyone to copy my success and become the next me." Jordan shrugged, he had strong self-confidence.

Two three consecutive championship dynasties are his greatest confidence.

His legend has already been engraved into the historical monument.

At this time, Su Xi held the ball to the top of the arc, and Wade stared at him.

Wade's defense is considered very strong among rookies, and his physical fitness is excellent.

He interferes with Sushi.

Su Xi charged inward and charged hard.But Wade used his strong explosive power and speed to follow up and seize a favorable position, blocking the way again and forcing Su Xi to stop.

The Flash lives up to its name.

Jordan, who was in front of the TV, had a disapproving smile on his face. In his opinion, it would have been better to just stop the ball and shoot a pull-up jumper.

Can this be blocked?
Does this mean there is a chance to become my successor?
Larry, you're too old and your eyesight is dim.

My successors to Jordan... Hardaway, Hill, Carter, Kobe, McGrady and now James and Wade, which one does not have extraordinary offensive physical talent.

Jordan has watched Suhi the Lamb's games intermittently, and his opinion is no different from other basketball experts: Although Suhi's physical fitness has evolved rapidly, he believes that Suhi is not a superstar who can truly take charge of everything.At most, he is Scottie Pippen, who can do everything, and even seems to be proficient in many things, but he only lacks the ability to make the final decision and break the defense.

As Jordan's heart was racing, Suhi completed the pass that made the TV commentator scream.

Su Xi stopped suddenly under Wade's block, turned around, and then while turning around, he quickly passed the basketball from Wade's side into the penalty area by hitting the ground behind his back.

Little O'Neal caught the basketball and jumped up... Boom!

Dunk with both hands.

Lamar Odom simply wasn't enough to stop O'Neal.

Although Odom was also called the second Magic when he first debuted, he even actually played point guard with the Clippers.

But he soon proved he wasn't the one.

"Is this the passing skill taught by Magic and Bird? It really has the demeanor of Magic."

Barkley shouted praises on TNT.

Replays also appeared on TV.

Michael Jordan raised his eyebrows slightly, which was really good.

However, Jordan was never interested in passing the ball. He believed that passing the ball did not have much effect in solving the game. On the contrary, it would cause "efficiency loss" in the passing process.

When he was young, many people said that he only knew how to score points and had no idea how to unite his teammates.He also used Magic Johnson to 'produce' him.Jordan was so angry that he got several triple-doubles within a week, but unfortunately he lost all three games.

Since then, he has not deliberately pursued assists, and the outside world has not said that he can't pass the ball.

After all, for the most powerful offensive master in history, getting 10 assists per game is as easy as picking up a glass of water.

Compared with Jordan, Su Xi's current offensive firepower with the ball is just entry level, let alone entering the room.

However, his passing ability improved by leaps and bounds under the training of the two rulers in the 80s.

Just the opening round was enough to make Pacers fans rejoice.

After changing sides and fighting again, Su Xi stood in front of Wade.

Wade is a player with extremely fast attack speed, and he is not only fast in attack speed, but also faster in changes of direction. Most importantly, he has a very strong ability to control the rhythm.

He made a small change of direction in front of Su Xi.

Generally speaking, you will do two or three tests in a row before taking action.

But Wade went against the norm and dived forward suddenly.

His explosive power is almost the same as Su Xi, and he is also at the 99th level.

His speed is higher than 97 Su Xi.

The most important thing is that his coordination and agility talents far surpass Su Xi.

He suddenly took a step inward, and Su Xi quickly retreated. But at the moment Su Xi retreated, Wade's body twisted directly, forming a strange change of direction... Su Xi quickly moved sideways, but still missed a step. ...Wade just twisted his body and forced himself into the penalty area.Su Xi rarely gets overwhelmed by talent.

He was not so passive in defending James.

This has something to do with the conflicting styles of play.

When Wade reached the basket, he jumped up and faced Foster's defense. He collided with him... The guards who were born in Illinois are particularly brave. Wade knocked Foster away and completed a beautiful pull-up with his left hand. The basketball goes into the hoop.

It has to be said that Wade is extremely talented and has a strong ability to combine man and ball.

Michael Jordan was gushing in front of the TV.He said to Bird: "Compared to Suzy the Sheep, who is accustomed to making tricks, don't you think Flash Wade has the character of our time?"

"I'm more optimistic about Wade becoming a superstar. I know that this season, Su Xi has achieved great success in the Pacers. He is very versatile and perfectly integrated into the Pacers system. You have a high probability of reaching the finals."

"But, with all due respect, Susie the Sheep can't become a superstar."

Jordan said to Bird with certainty.

Bird was a little speechless. He was not here to listen to Jordan's 'judgment'. He wanted Jordan to tell him how to control his big hands and make them precise and soft when shooting.

He wants Su Xi to become stronger, and he wants Su Xi's shooting to defeat Su Xi's post-up play a year later.

Therefore, he did not intend to argue with Jordan before completing this goal.

The game continues.

Su Xi and O'Neal played a screen. After gaining a little space, he did not continue to move forward. Instead, he immediately passed the basketball to the bottom corner. Reggie Miller appeared open. He caught the ball and shot... swish!

Miller hit a 3-pointer.

Su Xi's court vision and passing timing are fully demonstrated in this ball.

If he were a mediocre point guard, he would probably miss this strategic window.

Before it was Su Xi, although he could see it, his passing technique was not perfect and he could not complete it, let alone seize this fleeting opportunity.

"Reggie is still playing, does he still have a chance to win a championship?" Jordan muttered to himself.

Reggie Miller is his descendant, but he can also be considered a generation.

Reggie Miller brought some "small threats" to Jordan at his peak, and he respected players who could threaten him.

Larry Bird said: "The opportunity is great this year. Jack solves all our shortcomings."

Jack?

Jordan was in a daze for a moment before he remembered that Jack was Su Xi's English name.

Jack Su.

The game continues.

Wade was in good shape tonight. He continued to attack Suhi. Artest assisted in defense. Suhi quickly and decisively flanked...but Wade still passed the basketball ahead of time, and Eddie Jones hit the shot.

You come to me on both sides.

The performance of Wade and Su Xi can be described as evenly matched.

Wade used his powerful assault and penetration ability to open up the situation.

Although Su Xi also uses breakthrough as his starting point, he is more connecting the whole team and showing his organizational talents.

The Pacers are better overall than the Heat.

Therefore, by the 6th minute, the Pacers led by 4 points.

Su Xi took a break.

His statistics are 3 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds.

At the same time, Wade scored 8 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound.

"Wade's assault is very similar to when I was young." Jordan said: "He controls the speed, coordination, and explosive power perfectly. He achieves a superb balance. Moreover, he has enough breakthrough skills, and his finishing at the basket The ability is also very strong.”

Jordan has been praising Wade.

He likes Wade far more than Susie, who Bird keeps talking about.

This made Bird not even know how to speak.

Su Xi went to the bench to rest, and the Pacers' overall offensive fluency declined, which was different from the previous series.

However, the Pacers' lead is still slowly increasing.

Although Stan Van Gundy has always emphasized that what he learned the most from Pat Riley is defense, this Heat is still strong in offense and weak in defense.

Moreover, their young talents cannot form a true synergy.

Caron Butler and Lamar Odom both have to share the ball. Although the tactics keep them together, they still have the intention to fight independently in the face of the Pacers' strong defensive pressure.

"You're eating them like sausages," Jordan said. "You should be thinking about how to deal with the Detroit Pistons now."

Bird raised his eyebrows and said, "We have Jack, we're not worried about the Pistons."

"The playoffs are different from the regular season. Don't underestimate the Pistons, Larry, I've watched their games. They're very good now after getting Rasheed Wallace. Larry Brown established a disciplined style of play for Detroit. The perfect iron-blooded warrior."

"Even if your little sheep Susie's passing level is greatly improved, it may not be able to change the situation."

Jordan reminded.

Bird said: "Then what do you think is the problem with Susie the Sheep?"

"This is not a problem with Suzy the Lamb. There is nothing wrong with him. He even has some advantages in the backcourt."

Jordan started talking.He said: "The problem is that your team does not have a superstar who can stand up and kill everything with the ability to hold the ball at critical moments. Susie the sheep does not have this ability, and neither does O'Neal Jr. Miller is a shooter without the ball, and He's old. Artest is even less likely."

"Your tactics are very similar to those of the Pistons, but the Pistons are more extreme than you."

"Ben Wallace's defense is far superior to the center group you have accumulated. Do you want to use these guys to deal with O'Neal? But you may not be able to touch the Lakers."

"Although Rasheed Wallace is slightly worse than O'Neal in all aspects, he is tougher and his headwind ability is better than that of O'Neal."

"Prince and Artest, Artest is definitely better individually, but in the system, their roles are almost the same. Prince even consumes less."

"Hamilton and Miller, Hamilton is younger and more energetic."

"Lamb Soucy and Billups, I think Billups is more experienced and can throw key goals better."
