knife point guard

Chapter 189 [It would be great if you had my three-point shooting ability]

"Sooner or later the little sheep Susie will be crushed to pieces because of his arrogance."

Kenny Smith tit-for-tat on TV: "Sooner or later, your praise of him will break him to pieces. Compared to Jordan, he can't even touch the taillights of LeBron James' car."

Smith's words made LeBron James feel very comfortable.

Although James was unhappy with Su Xi's success in the playoffs, he couldn't help but secretly watch Su Xi's games at home...

"LeBron James? That strong walking master? Where is he repairing his headlights now? We really haven't seen him for a long time." Barkley said sarcastically: "He was associated with basketball last time. For stealing half of Jack's Rookie of the Year trophy."

Barkley's biting 'humor' made James furious in front of the TV: Why?He's just a Pippen, he just met a good team.Why should he compare with me? In what way is he better than me?

No one can see James' rage.

But everyone clearly saw that Suhi carried out an effective pressure on Billups, forcing Billups to pass the basketball to Rasheed Wallace in advance.

Wallace caught the ball in an area he was unfamiliar with. He feinted and forced the shot... swoosh!

I didn't expect to get in.

After scoring the goal, he roared arrogantly and punched the air with his fists.

The fans in the audience were excited for his goal, and the cheers were like an explosion.

Auto workers do have a voice.

The intensity of the gunpowder smell at the beginning was off the mark.

This is bound to be a high-intensity game.

Prince began to entangle Su Xi from the backcourt. Su Xi suddenly changed direction near the midline, cut off Prince's defense, and suddenly accelerated, with full explosive speed. After passing Prince, he rushed straight into the penalty area. .

This is a countermeasure that Su Xi came up with after watching the video tapes in the past few days.

Beat them quickly.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can reduce the Pistons' pressure on the ball from the outside.

It requires very high speed from Su Xi, not only the breakthrough speed, but also the control of fleeting passing opportunities, which also requires rapid processing by the brain.

Since getting Magic Johnson's super spatial talent and overall improvement in passing skills, this is no longer a problem for Su Xi.

He reached the free throw line, and Billups had to follow up. At this time, Su Xi saw a fleeting opportunity. He quickly swung the basketball to the bottom corner in a high-speed impact state...the ball came to the person. .

Reggie Miller catches and shoots... ugh!

Three point hit.

Reggie Miller raised three arrogant fingers.

He showed off his hot touch to all the Pistons fans.

"Shooters just have to play for a long time." Barkley complained on TV: "Just shoot the ball."

Kenny Smith rarely has any objections to this.

Miller is indeed not very popular, and Barkley does not admit that Miller is a star of the same level as them, but... this guy's ability to show off is comparable to Jordan Bird.

Barkley has a famous saying: Miller's greatest ability is to make people think that he is the same level of superstars as me, Malone, and Kemp.

The game continued, with both sides going back and forth, and the fight was very lively.

The intensity of physical confrontation is very high.

However, when Su Xi is physically fit, he is not afraid of the Pistons' iron-clad defense at all.He broke through ten games with one force, and his continuous rapid attacks successfully made Larry Brown give up the full-court press.

Under the leadership and instigation of Su Xi.

The Pacers turned against the visitors and established a lead.

苏希第一节打了6分46秒，下场的时候，步行者以19：11领先8分。

"Jack, I really want to lend you my physical strength." Carlisle hugged Su Xi when he came off the court. He said affectionately: "If you have my physical strength, it will not be a problem to kill the Pistons."

Carlisle is very confident in his physical ability, although his wife often complains that he only plays for 5 minutes.

But for Carlisle, if Suhi gets 5 more minutes of playing time per game.

Then... the possibility of killing the piston is greatly increased.

At this moment, not only Carlisle wanted to lend his physical strength to Su Xi, but many Pacers fans also wanted to do so.

If Su Xi could play the whole game, what a terrifying existence it would be.He and the Pacers can form a defensive lineup that is more suffocating than the Pistons.

But now, Su Xi has to return to the bench to cool down and recover.

After Su Xi left the field, the Pacers' offensive and defensive strength declined visibly.

When Su Xi is on the court, the Pacers can stabilize the Pistons.

If the Pacers with Su Xi have 96 points, the Pacers without Su Xi only have about 90 points, but the overall Pistons have about 93 points.

Although the gap is not very big, as long as the time is long enough, the advantage will be reflected when no players break out or slump.

at this point.Even Larry Brown admits it.Therefore, this academic defensive coach, who is known for his suffocating defense, even asked the players to increase their speed and rhythm.

On the one hand, it is to consume the game time quickly so that Su Xi cannot return to the game so quickly.

On the other hand...the Pistons actually have the ability to play fast.

They were simply silenced.

In the future, many people on the Internet will compare the 04 Pistons with the 19 Warriors, saying that the Warriors can defeat the Pistons with their transcendent energy, and that the strongest spear will definitely beat the strongest shield.But are the Pistons really just the strongest shield?Looking at the Pistons' lineup, they have entered the small ball era, and their offensive energy cannot be underestimated.They play a game with the Warriors, and the Warriors may win.But after playing 1 games, the Pistons will definitely win more times.

The Pistons' offensive efficiency began to improve after a brief period of pain.

In contrast, the Pacers relied on Artest's forced singles. As expected, Jermaine O'Neal became ineffective again. He was a bit unable to stand up against the Wallace brothers.

The 8-point lead was slowly eroded, and the home atmosphere at the Palace of Auburn Hills became increasingly fanatical.

Finally, in the third minute of the second quarter, it reached its climax.

Billups hit a 3-pointer to lead by 2 points.

Offensive and defensive changes.

LeBron James in front of the TV was even happier than he was ahead. He really liked watching the Pistons beat the Pacers.

The camera showed Su Xi, who was sitting there very calmly, adjusting his breathing.

His physical energy is recovering rapidly.

But there is still some distance to go before returning to the field.

The game continues.

No one thought that Billups' three-pointer was just a prelude to the Pistons' three-point rain.

Artest finally squeezed into the penalty area and caused a foul. He made two free throws to stabilize his position.

The result came back in the blink of an eye, and Prince received an assist from Billups and hit a 3-pointer.

Then Hamilton hit a 3-pointer.

Rasheed Wallace hit a 3-pointer.

Billups continued to hit 3 points.

5 consecutive three-pointers.

Although there are 2 blacksmiths interspersed in the middle.

But it still stopped the Pacers directly, because they went from leading by 8 points to falling behind by 8 points.

There are still 5 minutes and 35 seconds left before the end of the second quarter.

Su Xi stood up. Although he knew that he had not recovered to [-]% or [-]%, if he did not play now, the Pacers would really be in trouble.

Carlisle did not persuade Su Xi to rest.

He also didn't expect the Pistons to become a three-point team.

Obviously, what Larry Brown, the stubborn old man, dislikes the most is three-pointers. There is almost no three-pointer option in his tactics.

Larry Brown himself was also surprised. So many players were full of three-pointers tonight. This is God's blessing.

How could it be so accurate without God's blessing?

No one wins with three-pointers.

Larry Brown gives credit to God.

"The Pistons' three-pointers are so accurate, do we want to challenge them for three-pointers?" Artest asked Carlisle on the bench.

Then Carlisle looked around and saw that except for Reggie Miller, there was no other reliable three-point shooter.Artest's three-point play sometimes works but doesn't work, and when it doesn't work, hiatus is better than when it works.

"We have no conditions. Let's start with defense and insist on blocking their perimeter." Carlisle said with a tactical board. He gave Suhi and Artest greater defensive authority.

Before going on the court, Su Xi glanced at Reggie Miller and said to Miller: "You still have to move more outside the three-point line. You are the only one we can sniper against them."

Miller nodded, he was serious and a little pessimistic.

At this time, he is very much looking forward to having another shooter on the team stand up and fight alongside him.

When Miller looked at the Pistons' full firepower from beyond the three-point line, he felt desperate. This was really the closest to a championship in his career.He didn't want to fall here.

The game continues.

Suzy is back in action.

It was still Prince who was defending. Prince used his long hands and feet to interfere with Su Xi's path.

At this time, Su Xi did not adopt the "dodge and fight" strategy to save energy, but turned her back... Poof!puff!

Two violent impacts, one punch away, to prevent hundreds of punches from coming.

Su Xi turned her back twice and hit Prince so hard that his internal organs began to boil.

When Su Xi collided for the third time, he couldn't help but retreat...but then Su Xi suddenly turned around and directly obliterated his defense, like a sharp scimitar slicing across his neck.

Prince didn't see the blood in the sky, but he saw Su Xi's figure flashing away.

Su Xi rushed into the paint area, and in a blink of an eye, he brought Rasheed Wallace's help on defense. Su Xi went one step further, took off and collided with Wallace... and forcefully hooked the basketball out... Whoosh!

The ball goes in.

Rasheed Wallace was fouled for pressing.

He was very upset.

But he held back his roar.

He has suffered technical fouls before, and he doesn't want to suffer them again.

But the fans at the scene kept booing and insulting.

Swish!
Suhijia made a free throw.

The point difference narrowed to 5 points.

"Jack made an immediate impact when he came on the court. Who said he was not the only core of the Pacers?" Barkley clenched his fists hard. He sincerely admired Su Xi's decapitation: it was too hard.

"I have never seen a core player who can only play 20 minutes in a game. Moreover, his style of play will only accelerate his exit." Kenny Smith said: "This is not a [-]-meter sprint."

When Kenny Smith said this sarcastic remark, Susie moved towards Billups more resolutely.

He works harder on the defensive end.

His pressing defense is very aggressive. Billups cannot find his teammates quickly, and he himself needs to pass through the screens of his teammates to get rid of the defense.

In the end, Rasheed Wallace forced a shot and missed.

Foster got the rebound and passed it to Su Xi.

Su Xi continued to attack, and in an instant he increased his counterattack speed to the fastest speed.

This is a very energy-consuming style of play.

Larry Brown was sitting on the sidelines with a smile on his face, even when Suhi broke into the paint and made another layup.

But so what?

Brown is in no rush.

The game continues.

The Pacers successfully defended again. Hamilton passed the ball in a hurry when Su Xi suddenly attacked and made a direct mistake.

Looking back, Suhi singled out Prince, and then passed to Reggie Miller, who successfully used O'Neal to cover the move. Miller caused Billups to foul.

Made two free throws.

Su Xi used a desperate style of play to force the Pacers to stay alive.

Even the fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills could see that Su Xi had no hesitation at this time. They were still booing and swearing the loudest, but they couldn't help but respect Su Xi's fighting spirit.

Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting on the sidelines, clenched her fists and showed a determined expression.Watching Su Xi make desperate attacks again and again, using an egg against a stone.Her heart had long been clenched.

He was worried that Su Xi would get hurt.

In fact, as the game progressed, Su Xi fell more and more often in collisions.

His physical energy is consumed faster than the Pacers are chasing points.

Finally, with 21 seconds left in the first half, Artest completed the last shot. He received a pass from Su Xi and hit a basketball throw to complete the 1-point lead.

He did not celebrate, but quickly ran over and pulled Su Xi up from the ground.

Su Xi's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the rise and fall of his chest became larger and larger.

But his expression was very determined.

"He's very tired, give him more strength to fight against!"

Rasheed Wallace shouted as he served to Billups.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Competitive sports is not about harmony, nor is it about treating guests to dinner.

Since Su Xi chooses to stay on the court, she must prepare her opponents to use you as a 'breakthrough'.

Carlisle made a substitution gesture on the sidelines, but Su Xi shook her hand firmly at him.

Billups executed as expected. He returned to half court, immediately turned his back, and hit Susie.

He not only wanted to defend Su Xi's defense, but also shake Su Xi's will and completely defeat him on the court.

Su Xi's strength was indeed not as strong as before.

Moreover, Billups's second impact found that Su Xi's resistance was weaker than before.

This made him overjoyed.

He quickly made a third impact.

But at the moment when he hit hard... Su Xi, the 'sick tiger', showed its ferocious fangs. He spun around suddenly, and his body jumped out like lightning... Snap!

Su Xi used his flexibility and explosiveness, coupled with his super long arms, to slap Billups' basketball away with one slap.

Billups wasn't expecting it. He tried to chase, but was forced away by Su Xi.

Su Xi sprinted forward with the ball, and Prince quickly pursued him.

Prince is also using his body to interfere with Su Xi.

Su Xi was indeed at the end of his strength, and his body staggered obviously at the midline, but he lowered his body, supported the floor with his left hand, and then charged out more violently.

Prince lost half a step of his defensive position. He quickly pursued and reached the three-point line in an instant.

Su Xi took a look at the little time left at this time.He makes a decision.

He suddenly stopped suddenly, then changed direction violently. He threw Prince's defense aside, and then he jumped up without hesitation and took a shot... Prince flew over, but a beat later, Su Xi's basketball had just been thrown out. .

This used up the last of Su Xi's strength. Su Xi staggered a little when he landed, but he quickly supported his knees with both hands.

He is overdrawn.

beep!

The final whistle has sounded.

The basketball is flying, it draws a beautiful arc... shua!

hit.

The Pacers went ahead by 4 points.

Su Xi smiled brightly.

Reggie Miller came to his side and he helped Susie up.

"How's it going? How does this three-pointer compare to your buzzer beater back then?" Su Xi asked Miller.

"It's not even interesting," Miller said.

"It would be great if you had my three-point ability."
