Chapter 185 [Who said the Pacers will definitely lose? 】

Miller is worthy of being a man who makes money every time he gets married, and being careful with money is his label.Among NBA superstars, many people will have their wealth greatly reduced due to the breakdown of their marriages. Even Jordan has been deceived.But Miller can do property justice, so there is no loss for him in the divorce. At most, he will be given some symbolic spiritual comfort.

They had a similar conversation half a year ago.The result is almost the same as now. Miller is not a temperamental person. He will not give as cheerfully and directly as Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, and Gary Payton.

Most of the top shooters in this era are like this. Shooting is a precise and technical job that requires careful calculation.

The game continues.

The Pistons' consumption strategy against Su Xi continued.

Su Xi's resolute attack plan was also implemented to the end.

In the back-and-forth offense and defense between the two sides, Su Xi was like a gangster. His huge destructive power opened a hole in the Pistons' defense, which established a lead for the Pacers.

However, Su Xi had to take a rest at the 7th minute of the second half. The rapid decline in physical fitness forced him to enter forced rest mode.

The confrontation in the playoffs is intense, especially for the Pistons. Coupled with Prince's consumption on both ends of the offense and defense, Su Xi's ability to endure until the 7th minute is already a superb performance.

Su Xi had to leave the game. He was exhausted and obviously overdrawn.

At this time, he scored 13 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. He helped the Pacers take the lead.

He is the player with the highest assist data on both teams and the Pacers' second-highest scorer with high efficiency.

"If Jack was the core of a normal team, he wouldn't be able to fight a tough battle at all." Kenny Smith said in a different way on TV: "He is a bit similar to Ginobili. The difference is that Ginobili is not as lucky as him and not as lucky. What a tidbit of news, not from the huge Asian market. Oh, by the way, Ginobili's physical fitness is actually a little better than him."

Kenny Smith is the most enthusiastic of all TV commentators to satirize Suzy.

He rarely praised Su Xi from the first day he entered the league.

His obsession only grew after he was kissed by a jackass during the All-Star weekend.

Sitting next to him is Charles Barkley, who is nicknamed "Yangmi" by his hardcore fans. He is always ranked in the top five when Chinese fans select the top ten NBA guardians.

But he really couldn't argue with Kenny Smith.Although Smith is being weird and adding fuel to the fire.But what he said was the basic truth.If it were any other team, Su Xi would not be able to become the absolute core of the tactics, and his playing time is restricted.

Moreover, Suxi's shooting ability and scoring ability are not up to elite standards.

He and the Pacers do fit perfectly and complement each other.

When Su Xi came off the court, the Pacers led by 6 points.

After Su Xi left the game, the Pacers still had back and forth with the Pistons. They are a super team in their own right.

Su Xi sat on the bench and sipped energy drinks. He had to let himself return to the game 5 minutes before the end of the fourth quarter.

At this time, Larry Brown instructed the players to increase the rhythm.

He has studied many of Susi's games, and now the whole league knows that Susi's recovery ability is amazing.If the attack time is consumed quickly, Su Xi may not be able to return to the court.

Many people say that the Pistons are a team with a dull rhythm and only know how to defend, but in fact, the Pistons players are very fast, whether it is Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Hamilton and Prince on the forward and defensive lines, Billups' ability to push back can't be said to be weak.

The third quarter is over soon.

Then came the fourth quarter.

At the beginning, Rasheed Wallace suddenly hit a shot from long distance, and then... Okur also hit a three-pointer from the three-point line.

The two long men hit shots respectively.

This time the walker was stopped immediately.

Carlisle had to replace O'Neal again, and the center position was paired with Tony Barty.

After O'Neal Jr. came on the court, he scored in singles and established a certain advantage.

He previously played as a backup for Rasheed Wallace in the Trail Blazers for four years, and he knows Rasheed Wallace well.Although Rasheed Wallace looks very tough on the defensive end, O'Neal's current level is obviously higher than Rasheed.

He scored consecutively to maintain the lead for the Pacers.

You come to me on both sides.

It wasn't until the 4th minute of the fourth quarter that Ben Wallace came back on the field.Larry Brown assigned Ben Wallace to guard O'Neal.O'Neal Jr. plays as a power forward and a center, and Ben Wallace is tougher than Rasheed Wallace.

After he entangled O'Neal, O'Neal was very uncomfortable. He failed to hit two consecutive shots.

This caused problems with his confidence, and he became less determined to shoot from the low post.

O'Neal Jr. has many offensive methods, which is his advantage.

But it is also his weakness.

The Pacers gradually fell into a scoring drought.

Fortunately, the Pistons' offense is not good either.

The two sides come and go, striking each other.

The pace is fast. Generally speaking, the Pistons are gradually narrowing the point difference and slowly building a lead.

When the camera caught Larry Brown, he looked calm and composed.

In the absence of Su Xi, the Pacers' overall strength is weaker than the Pistons.

When Artest received his sixth personal foul at the seventh minute and 24 seconds of the fourth quarter, Larry Brown stood up from the bench in excitement.

He liked the call.

Artest's defense was very aggressive tonight, which resulted in foul trouble and made the Pistons' outside perimeter very uncomfortable.

Now, Artest is sent off the court as the main perimeter defense, and Su Xi's return date has not yet been determined. The Pacers' solid perimeter defense has opened two huge holes.

Carlisle quickly added Eric Williams.

However, Eric Williams allowed Prince to miss on his second possession and hit a three-pointer.

The Pistons led by 5 point.

At this time, there are still 4 minute and 18 seconds before the end of the game.

Due to the fast pace of the game, Su Xi's physical fitness has not yet recovered to a state that can maintain high-efficiency operation.But he had already started asking Carlisle for a fight 2 minutes ago.

Carlisle refused at first.

But now, he had to let Su Xi prepare.

He hopes to let Su Xi repair one more round.

He instructed Kenny Anderson to keep the tempo down, and Anderson dribbled the ball across half court. Billups made a strong tackle on him, almost throwing his body on Anderson.

If it was Anderson when he was young, he might have passed by with a change of direction.

But he was old after all. He was oppressed by Billups, and he could only turn his back quickly.

At this moment, Prince saw the opportunity and rushed over. He entangled Anderson and when Anderson was holding the ball with both hands and preparing to call a timeout, he forcibly took the basketball away.

The Pistons completed the double-team steal, and during the fast break, Billups pushed down Kenny Anderson who had lost his center, and he jumped over Anderson.

This triggered a flood of boos at Conseco Arena.

But the Pistons did not stop their two-line fast break counterattack. Billups assisted Prince in the frontcourt to complete a dunk!
boom!
Prince's dunk ignited the passion of the Pistons players, and their entire bench was boiling.

Morale is like a rainbow.

Leading by 7 points.

Only 3 minute and 59 seconds left in the game.

The Pacers' top defensive player, Ron Artest, was ejected.

The Pacers' leading scorer and core inside player, Jermaine O'Neal, was timid, fighting and retreating.This situation... no matter which angle you analyze it from, the Pacers will undoubtedly lose, and their home court will be destroyed right in front of them.

Therefore, Rasheed Wallace roared with infinite passion, and he shouted at Su Xi on the sidelines: "You will lose, rookie. Don't think you can do anything. You are a joke."

As he spoke, he gestured with his thumb and then fell down.

He is full of passion and provocative, with sarcasm written all over his unshaven face.

His actions led to wild abuse and boos from the sidelines, and the Indiana people were petty-tempered.The referee rushed over and gave Rasheed Wallace a technical foul.

This made Rasheed Wallace immediately hold his head and roar, and Larry Brown also rushed over to protest.

But the protest was ineffective.

"The Pacers only had one timeout, and they were completely passive. Even if they got a free throw for this technical foul, their chance of winning was close to zero."

"I often say that the record in the regular season is not everything. The regular season and the playoffs are two different worlds. When we won the championship in Houston, we were not first in the regular season."

"The playoffs are a stage for superstars. The more critical the moment, the more superstars are needed to save the team."

"If you ask Larry Bird at this time. Do you want Susie the Lamb to lead your team to charge, or LeBron James to lead your team to charge. I believe that I will definitely give the most accurate answer. .”

"This is why fans in the entertainment industry have listed so many statistics to prove that LeBron James cannot be tied with Suzy the Lamb as the best rookie, but authoritative experts still recognize LeBron James."

Kenny Smith talked during the timeout.

He even said more than Carlisle said on the bench.

Carlisle was talking to Su Xi: Don't be stressed, the loss is mine.

He is a very good coach.

But Su Xi's expression was very serious and murderous.

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

When Su Xi came on the court, he glanced at the Pistons bench. Larry Brown's eyes happened to be looking there as well. Larry Brown showed a confident smile and raised his legs.

He didn't think the Pacers had a chance to come back.

I don't think Su Xi can create any miracles.

There are no miracles in this world. If there are, then I, Larry Brown, must be the killer of miracles.

Suhi took the free throw right from Reggie Miller for a technical foul.

Although Suhi's free throw percentage is not as high as Reggie Miller's, Rasheed Wallace is coming at him and he has no reason to dodge.

Swish!
Swish!
Su Xi made two free throws and the point difference was reduced to 5 points.

Then the ball was served, and Su Xi received a pass from O'Neal at the top of the arc.

He didn't hesitate for a moment and took sharp steps straight into the penalty area.

Prince could not withstand the impact of Su Xi's power. Su Xi's strength at the back line can be described as infinite, and he was as fast as lightning and as violent as fire.Speed, strength, and explosive power have all become super talents, plus flexibility on top of super talents.

Prince lost his position as he chased to the free throw line.

The Pistons' defensive system is good at pressing the ball and limiting the passing of the basketball.

Instead, they turn a blind eye to the ball holder's assault because they believe in the ability of the inside to make up for the situation.The Wallace brothers are strong in this area.

Su Xi entered the penalty area, showing a fearless and courageous attitude.

Rasheed Wallace moved sideways quickly, but he was still half a beat too late, and Su Xi broke in from his side in advance.

Ben Wallace swooped over quickly from the other side.

Su Xi took off, and he also took off immediately. He was making the final interception, and he wanted to shoot down Su Xi in the air.

But the moment he flew over and was about to hit Su Xi, Su Xi pulled the lever suddenly in the air... Su Xi's coordination talent was only a little bit short of a super talent. The full level of flexibility played an important role at this moment. The body is almost folded.

Moreover, due to his low jumping height.

Therefore, giving him more room to operate.

Ben Wallace just missed.

Su Xi opened her body and threw the basketball at the same time... It was a bit like an extreme pull-up... Bang!Whoosh!
The basketball passed the board.

Su Xi scored 4 points in a row, and the point difference was instantly reduced to 3 points.

This is a relatively safe area.

Pistons head coach Larry Brown put down his legs, but his expression remained confident and calm.

He has confidence in the Pistons' system.Moreover, with Artest being sent off, the Pacers' current lineup is not enough to form a formal challenge to them.

However, when Billups was about to cross the center line with the ball, something happened!

In the last round, Billups pounced and bit Kenny Anderson fiercely, but he was bitten even more violently.

Su Xi bit up like a sprint, and he wrapped around Billups fiercely.

Billups is very experienced and has a strong body.

However, Su Xi does not talk about martial ethics.

The direct collision made him stagger, and he didn't dare to return to the line. He could only quickly join the ball and was about to request a timeout.

Su Xi stuffed it into his arms and pulled it out hard... At that time, Billups was even pulled while dribbling the ball, and he shouted a foul!
But the referee didn't say anything.

Susie pulled hard for the second time and pulled out the 'carrot'. Billups staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He was even more embarrassed than Kenny Anderson was last round.

Anderson on the sidelines clenched his fists excitedly, and the moment Su Xi pulled the basketball away, he roared excitedly.

Su Xi rushed to the frontcourt, and he looked back without any defense.

So, he jumped up and took action... Whoa!

Three point hit.

Su Xi's bet was right.

He was very arrogant. He raised his hands and said two OKs.

The Conseco Arena was in a state of excitement. I don’t know who made the first move, and soon the entire army chanted: MVP! MVP! MVP!

The roar of the mountains and the roar of 2 people gathered together the surging home morale.

Su Xi scored 7 points in the last two rounds, directly tying the score.

Larry Brown stood up from his bench and directed the game from the sideline, gesturing for his players to keep up the pace.

He didn't want the team to mess up first, and at the same time, he also asked Rasheed Wallace to go to the backcourt to meet Billups, and once Suhi made a move, he would pass the ball quickly.

Although Larry Brown still looked very confident, he had to admit that Su Xi messed him up.

When did this kid have such a powerful scoring ability?

He must be held down.
