Chapter 197 [Why is it always me who wins]

Kobe is an unruly person, but he envies Su Xi. He envies all young people who can get core treatment after entering the league.

Although when he was growing up, the Lakers also carefully cultivated him and established him as a prince early.

However, his path forward is 'slow'.Until now, he has not become the absolute leader of the team, and he still survives under the pressure of Shaquille O'Neal.No one would say that the Lakers are Kobe's team. At most, they would say that they are an OK team.

In fact, most people decided this was Shaquille O'Neal's team.

This has become Kobe's inner demon.

Kobe is a proud and arrogant person.

"You have faced almost no challenges within the Pacers. There has never been a leader of a championship team like you who quickly became the leader of a championship team." Kobe sighed to Su Xi after adjusting with Arenas. .

Arenas has been looking for a one-on-one fight with Kobe Bryant, and this guy is somewhat obsessed with him.Before Kobe arrived, he proudly said in front of Su Xi that he was the strongest scorer in the NBA.

But since Kobe came, he has lost 7 games.

Kobe didn't want to play with him yet, so he said to him: "You will never see my taillights in terms of scoring in your lifetime if you play this one-way game."

"And your skills are based on talent. When your talent is lost, it will be difficult for you to make a living in the NBA."

Kobe Bryant is not very good at talking.

After saying that, he also made amends for Su Xi's sake: "I'm not targeting you. What you represent is just a common phenomenon."

"..."

Su Xi was dumbfounded. Kobe's emotional intelligence was indeed... too direct and frank.

Arenas is not guilty of this.

Thanks to Arenas' strong heart, he fought hard: "I will definitely stick to my own path, and I will defeat you in my own way."

"Whatever." Kobe Bryant was reluctant to talk to Arenas.

Paranoid people usually don't like another paranoid, and Arenas is an extroverted paranoid.

In contrast, Kobe loved chatting with Susie.

Su Xi is relatively quiet, understands him, and can give him a lot of emotional value.

"I feel that your offensive skills have reached the realm of transformation and are about to reach the next level."

Su Xi said to Kobe: "In terms of pure offensive skills, I think you may be better than Jordan. After all, Jordan's physical fitness is better than you. You are a representative of hard work. You have maximized your talents. Your skills exceed your top talent."

Su Xi speaks from the heart.

The whole world knows that sincerity is a must-win.

Kobe's chat was getting a little deeper. He sighed: "This is all practiced. Without crazy shots in actual combat, how can you achieve great skills? Jack, if you want to become a real superstar, you must at least take the number of shots in each game. To reach more than 22 times."

"Be brave and make bold moves, regardless of whether he can get in or not."

Kobe encouraged Su Xi: "If you want to become a superstar, a historical superstar, this is an essential path. You will never become a historical superstar with the way you are playing now."

Su Xi nodded first.

Then he raised his eyelids and said, "That's not right, Kobe. Are you playing a mental game with me?"

Hahahaha.

Kobe laughed heartily: "Didn't you and I play first?"

The two bewitched each other.

It was obviously a training session for three people, but Arenas felt out of place: Is it because I endorse Adidas?
...

On the evening of June 2004, 6, the eyes of basketball fans all over the world were focused on the Conseco Arena in Indiana. Pacers fans came from all over to fill the home court.

Before the game even started, the place was already buzzing with people.

The excited Indiana people were flying in the arena with various banners, the most conspicuous of which was: 'It's time'!
For Pacers fans, they have waited too long, and their desire for the first championship in history has reached an infinite level.

Although they are facing the Lakers who have at least three historical superstars.

Players from both sides quickly appeared on the stage. When Su Xi and Reggie Miller came on the stage, the cheers were the loudest.

One represents the past and the other represents the future.

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

The Lakers' starting lineup is: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal.

Leave aside Karl Malone.

Su Xi and other Lakers players had no quarrel outside of the game. During the exchange of greetings before the game, O'Neal even gave Su Xi an exaggerated hug and said to him with a smile: "Jack, thank you for knocking out the Pistons."

"You're welcome."

Su Xi also smiled and answered.

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game began.

Shaquille O'Neal and Foster jump ball.

O'Neal successfully obtained the ball for the Lakers.

Gary Payton carried the ball across half court.

Payton is Suhi's defensive teacher. When he dribbled the ball across half court, Suhi defended, but Payton didn't want to fight and passed to Karl Malone.

Karl Malone faced O'Neal at the free throw line. The Sharks were in position in the paint and he immediately passed into the penalty area.

The Shark received the basketball and Artest hurried over to attack, but the Shark directly pushed away Foster...Foster had already defended well.

However, in the face of the absolute tonnage and absolute power, he was knocked out of his defensive position.

Shaquille O'Neal jumped up with excellent explosiveness and coordination and smashed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

This is dominance.

When he gets the ball deep in the penalty area, one-on-one has no effect.

This is also the result of the shark's increased weight and decreased explosive power and speed.

In his prime, even more violent.

Even more undefendable.

Foster has good physical fitness among centers, but he still can't stand it.

TNT cameras captured Carlisle sighing on the bench. .

This is an opponent no head coach wants to face.

Easy to fight again.

Gary Payton defended Suhi. He wanted to force Suhi to play positionally and consume the ball.

Su Xi pushed back his defense as soon as he accelerated... Su Xi is not afraid of entanglement. First of all, he understands entanglement. Secondly, his explosive power and speed are not what Gary Payton can resist today.

However, after Su Xi took a step inside, he quickly passed the basketball to O'Neal who was pulling to the free throw line.

Then, he quickly ran to the baseline, Reggie Miller and him crossed the screen, and the Lakers formed a defense switch.Su Xi received a pass from O'Neal from outside the three-point line, and he quickly shot... Devin George's defense worked hard.

But it was a little short of heat.

Swish!
Three point hit.

After Suhi's ability to move without the ball and his ability to catch and shoot made great progress, Carlisle became more and more interested in making a fuss on the outside.

Looking back, the Lakers still beat O'Neal.

O'Neal caught the ball, exerted force, turned around, and then hit a small hook... all in one go.

The Lakers are very determined to beat O'Neal.

The Pacers continue to implement perimeter strategies.

Both sides come and go, taking the lead alternately.

Su Xi still only played 7 minutes in the first quarter, and he came off the court to rest.

At this time, he still has some physical strength.The Lakers did not consume Su Xi's physical energy like the Pistons did, and they did not have the defensive quality.

The Lakers' defensive quality is lower than that of the Pistons.

They prefer to focus on the offensive end.

19: 18.

When Su Xi came off the court, the Pacers were 1 point behind.

The game continues.

Kobe Bryant began to increase the number of shots after Suhi came off the court, but his touch was not hot.

Strike iron one after another.

Reggie Miller hit two consecutive three-pointers here to help the Pacers take the lead.

The first quarter was over quickly.

The Lakers didn't dominate, and the Pacers didn't lead the way.

27: 29.

The Pacers led by 2 points.

"The Pacers continued their tenacity in the Eastern Conference finals, and they still played at their own pace. Jack's tactical role from beyond the three-point line became more and more prominent. The Lakers also continued their usual style of play, using more energy to Absolute talent to crush opponents."

"These are two completely different styles. The results are difficult to predict. But if the Lakers win, there is a high probability of a big victory. If the Pacers win, it is likely to be a small score advantage."

Charles Barkley was very focused in his analysis during the timeout between periods.

Kenny Smith said: "I think the Pacers will win tonight. The little sheep Su Xi has not yet exerted his strength. The Lakers' tactics are a triangle offense at best, but they are fighting independently at worst. Although they have found an OK combination, The third point outside is Karl Malone, but Karl Malone has never accomplished anything in the Finals."

"Moreover, the Lakers' rotation is too weak compared to the Pacers. The Pacers' lineup is much deeper than the Lakers."

Kenny Smith seems to have changed. He now specifically praises the Pacers, especially Su Xi.

Although he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he said this was because he didn't like Su Xi and wanted to praise her.

However, I have to say that his analysis is 'very reasonable'.

And, do it immediately.

The Lakers made substitutions in the second quarter, with O'Neal, Gary Payton and Devin George taking a rest.

Replaced by Derek Fisher, Fox, Medvedenko.

Featuring Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone.

The Pacers have also made personnel adjustments, including Tony Barty, Bender, O'Neal Jr., Artest, and Kenny Anderson.

As soon as the game started, Kenny Anderson and Tony Barty played a pick-and-roll and assisted Hu Subao to complete a mid-range jumper.

Subsequently, Bender and Kenny Anderson suddenly flanked Fisher at the arc. Fisher rushed the ball and was intercepted by O'Neal. Artest squeezed into the basket and drew a foul.

Phil Jackson quickly replaced O'Neal.

Artest made two free throws.

The Lakers played O'Neal again to stabilize their morale.

O'Neal's strength allowed the Lakers to gradually recover the score.

When the Lakers were about to complete the lead, Su Xi returned to the game.

In the first round, Su Xi held the ball and entered the paint. He jumped up and collided with O'Neal in the air. He was one of the few players who dared to challenge O'Neal head-on.

Moreover, he withstood O'Neal's first wave of suppression and passed the basketball to Tony Barty behind, who put the basketball into the basket.

Although Su Xi staggered a little when he landed after being hit, it was not a big problem. He created a new style of play... dark under the light.

O'Neal was a little depressed. He asked Su Xi: "You bumped into me just to pass the ball?"

"Yes." Su Xi replied matter-of-factly.

This makes O'Neal depressed.

The even more depressing thing is... In the next round, Tony Barty started to foul. He first went around like crazy. O'Neal finally got the basketball and was about to lay up, but he just pulled it down.

Tony Barty is a tough guy, physically strong.

One of the few players who can hold O'Neal down.

O'Neal went to the free throw line and missed two free throws very depressed.

Then on the defensive end, Su Xi continued to attack the penalty area, still collided with O'Neal, still passed the ball, and still passed it to Batty, who once again completed a layup.

Exactly the same attack routine as last time.

The difference is that O'Neal works harder.

Su Xi staggered a little when she landed.

But he is very happy. His super strength talent, which has not been loosened for a long time, is showing signs of breakthrough under the impact of O'Neal.

Sure enough, we still have to let O'Neal, who has natural divine power, do it.

In the next round, O'Neal was playing singles again. He finally got around Tony Barty, turned around and took off. Su Xi suddenly flew over from one side and pressed the ball on him. Although O'Neal was born with supernatural power, he still broke the basketball away from Su Xi. With complete control, he threw the basketball...but the throw was so random that he didn't even touch the basket.

The basketball goes straight out of bounds.

Ten years from now, this would have been a foul.

But the referee did not move at all tonight and directly awarded the ball to the Pacers.

O'Neill was so angry that he was smoking.

He said harshly to Su Xi: "Do you still dare to attack me?"

Su Xi couldn't ask for more.

Now the breakthrough in strength talent is right in front of him. This confrontation just now made him reach the critical point.

The further the super talent goes, the harder it is to integrate it.

The reward was so great that Su Xi had no reason to refuse.

Therefore, when Su Xi held the ball again, he still broke through.

But on the way to his breakthrough, Kobe came over to attack. Su Xi quickly passed the basketball to Artest, attracting Kobe's retreat. Artest passed the basketball again. Su Xi received the basketball, filled up his strength, and stepped directly into it. To O'Neal.

O'Neal was ready. He even let go of Tony Barty behind him. He had to give Su Xi, who was making trouble over and over again, some color.

puff!
The two collided.

O'Neill used all his strength, he wanted to sink Su Xi directly.

O'Neal's tonnage coupled with strength, even though Su Xi's current strength is rare among defenders, he also has the blessing of sprinting.

But she still lost her center of gravity in an instant... But at the moment she lost her center of gravity, Su Xi got the most joyful thing: super strength talent +1.

Su Xi was about to pass the basketball to Tony Barty, but found that Karl Malone quickly passed the ball. As long as Su Xi passed the ball, it would definitely be a steal.

Karl Malone has been lying in wait on one side for a long time.

This is a trap designed by O'Neal and him. It is impossible for them to let Su Xi succeed three times in a row.

But...bang!
Su Xi threw the basketball directly on the ground.

A figure came speeding towards him. O'Neal Jr. grabbed the basketball and cut directly through the gap between O'Neal and Karl Malone: ​​he was too clever to be clever.

They designed a trap, but the door was wide open.

boom!
O'Neal Jr. completed a dunk.

Su Xi fell to the ground.

O'Neal's power is well-deserved.

However, the camera turned to Su Xi with a smile on her face.He looked at Shaquille O'Neal with a clear look: I won again.
