I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 108 108. The era of eagles is rising!A revenge mission activated by accident, the battle of revenge is coming!
On February 2, local time in the United States, the Atlanta Hawks, ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, will take a plane to Charlotte to challenge the Hornets led by "Big Beard" Baron Davis.

In this game, Hawks star Suter will continue to be absent due to suspension, but Derek Anderson, who is plagued by knee injuries, will usher in a comeback in this game.

No way, since the mainstay of the Eagles, Suter and Chris Webber, suffered a suspension for a big fight, and the Eagles have suffered two consecutive seasons.

Derek Anderson's comeback plan was originally planned after the All-Star Weekend, but as the current situation of the Eagles is getting worse and worse, the management has become worried from full of confidence at the beginning.

Derek Anderson's knee injury was not too serious. After the approval of the team doctor and the consent of Derek Anderson himself, the coaching staff decided to let the team's starting shooting guard Derek Anderson usher in a comeback in advance.

In any case, Derek Anderson averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season.

Although the offensive firepower is not enough to help the Eagles upgrade to a level, Derek Anderson's comeback can definitely make the Eagles' outside offense play more smoothly.

In addition, the team's newly signed "Reaper" Smush Parker also left a very good impression on the head coach Mike Woodson in the team training games in recent days.

Even though Smash Parker still has many shortcomings, and he prefers to gamble steals on the field, Smash Parker's enthusiasm and focus on the game make head coach Mike Woodson appreciate it very much.

To paraphrase what his disciple Suter once said, Smush Parker seems to have an unyielding spirit.

This spirit is not enough to support Parker to become an outside star in the NBA league, but it will definitely give Smash Parker a place in the NBA.

The NBA has very high requirements for outside players, and the overall requirements are much stricter than for inside players, so players with average physical fitness like Smash Parker have nothing to excel at all.

Fortunately, Smush Parker has been wandering the streets of the United States for many years. Compared with those rookies from the academy, Smush Parker has a bit of wildness in him.

This kind of wildness is a cancer for a highly disciplined team like the Spurs, but for the Eagles who are in great need of offensive firepower right now, Smush Parker is indeed a piece of emerald waiting to be developed.

Since "The Beast" Suter still won't play in this game, the attention from the outside world is not very high.

Even if the Hornets are currently ranked fifth in the East, second only to the Pacers, Pistons, Nets and Heat, they can be regarded as a force that cannot be underestimated in the East.

But any fan is very clear about the pattern of the east and west of the league this season.

It has become an indisputable fact that the West is strong and the East is weak. Even though the Hornets can rank fifth in the East, the Hornets' record is only 24 wins and 24 losses, and the winning percentage will exceed 50%.

Even compared with the eighth-ranked Eagles in the Eastern Conference, it only has three more wins.

It is worth mentioning that the Bobcats entered the NBA in 2004 and completed their formation, so there are only 29 teams in the league this season.

Before the Hornets relocated the team to New Orleans, they had always been an Eastern team. Starting next season, Charlotte's home team was replaced by the Bobcats, and the Hornets became the owner of New Orleans.

In fact, just looking at the team's paper lineup, the Hornets' lineup this season is not bad.

The entire team has a total of three players who have been selected to the All-Star lineup in their careers. Among them, the head star "Big Beard" Baron Davis is at the peak of his career, averaging 22.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.4 steals.

Who is "Big Beard" Baron Davis? Many fans are unfamiliar with this guy, but when it comes to the famous "Captain Beard", even those fans who watched the game late must have heard of this guy. call.

And "Big Beard" Baron Davis has a very strong body, and was recognized by the league as the most impactful player in the No. [-] position before the birth of "Turtle" Westbrook.

In a sense, the playing styles of Baron Davis and Westbrook are indeed very similar.

Both get the ball and hit the basket straight like carrying a pack of explosives. Regardless of whether the defender in front of him is standing or not, the two will use their best physical fitness to stage eye-catching dunks.

It's just that compared to Westbrook, who is always emptied by opponents outside the three-point line, Baron Davis' three-pointer is obviously more threatening, which also makes it very difficult for Baron Davis at his peak. defense.

At first glance, Baron Davis' scoring average this season is not that exaggerated, and his 22.9 points are only on par with Suter.

But you must know that the various positions in this era are not as blurred as in the small ball era in later generations. The main task of the point guard on the court is to connect the team, and the second is to initiate the offense individually.

Baron Davis averaged 22.9 points per game this season, which not only ranks seventh in the league, but also has the most explosive scoring average among all point guards in the league.

In addition to "Big Beard" Baron Davis, the only two players in the league who can rank in the top [-] scoring list in the season are "Lone Wolf" Marbury and "Alien" Cassell. defender.

But the rankings of these two are between fifteen and twenty, and there is still a clear gap compared with "bearded" Baron Davis.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Only by comparing other point guard players with Baron Davis can fans intuitively see how good Davis is this season.

In addition, the Hornets also have a player who averaged more than 20 points per game, that is, Jamal Mashburn, who was just selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star last season.

Even though Mashburn is 32 years old this year, his athletic ability has indeed declined a lot compared to his peak period, but Mashburn's competitive state is still very good.

Just like the "Madman" Sprewell, one of the three-headed monsters, both of them can be regarded as the kind of players who get more and more monsters as they get older.

The most important thing is that the Hornets have a total of six players averaging double figures this season. Whether it is the starting lineup or the bench lineup, they all have good offensive firepower.

Although the Hornets do have some gaps compared with the league's powerful Lakers, Spurs and Timberwolves, compared with the current Hawks, which lacks star star Suter, the Hornets still have a very big advantage.

Unfortunately, the Hornets at home obviously underestimated the Eagles' determination to win this game.

Even though the Eagles star Suter was unable to play due to the suspension, the Eagles still showed a very strong desire to win under the leadership of Steve Nash and Rasheed Wallace.

Throughout the first quarter, the Hornets with a neat lineup failed to gain any advantage at home. Instead, the Hawks took the lead in a 16:7 climax.

And Derek Anderson, who just ushered in his comeback from injury, hit three three-pointers in the first quarter, helping the Eagles to always lead the opponent with a wave of three-pointers.

Seeing the team's desire to win and running enthusiasm on the field, head coach Mike Woodson kept raising his hands and applauding from the field, obviously satisfied with the team's state.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time the Eagles have played such a perfect start since the absence of Souter. Basically every player has found his own offensive rhythm on the court.

From the soft guy who was extremely dependent on Suter at the beginning, it has become the tough guy who still dares to confront his opponent head-on without Suter.

This change in mentality is rare, and even head coach Mike Woodson is genuinely excited.

At the same time, although Suter did not follow the team to the away game to watch the game, Suter, who was sitting at home watching the live broadcast, still showed a smile.

No one would dislike the fact that the teammates around them are too strong. If they want to win the championship, it is doomed to be fruitless only by one person's efforts.

If the Eagles want to go further this season, in addition to Suter's performance at this point, the performance of other Eagles players is also crucial.

Only when the Eagles stopped attacking around Souter alone, did the Eagles barely enter the ranks of a strong team.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides began to rotate the lineup.

Standing on the sidelines and struggling for a long time, Mike Woodson decided to directly let Smush Parker play, and use his personal ability in the second quarter to try to drive the offense of the Eagles' second team.

As a player who only signed a [-]-day short contract with the Eagles, Smush Parker can be assigned to regular time by Mike Woodson. Parker motivated.

Seeing Mike Woodson waving in his direction, Smush Parker on the bench jumped out of the seat almost instantly, like a spring under his feet. He was just as excited when he got the chance to appear on stage.

The rotation of the Hornets this season is obviously better than that of the Eagles. To be precise, the rotations of most teams in the league are more reliable than the Eagles.

As soon as the second quarter started, the Hornets took advantage of their bench lineup to help the team slowly approach the score.

Seeing that the team was unsurprisingly at a disadvantage during this period of time, Mike Woodson stood off the court with an anxious face, he could only keep looking up at the time, and then prayed that the players on the court could survive this bad time rotation phase.

But what Mike Woodson didn't expect was that at 10 minutes and 46 seconds into the second quarter, Smush Parker started his stunning personal performance.

First, he passed the defense of the Hornets backup point guard Salmond Williams in one step and went straight to the basket, wiped the board and scored two points.

Then in the second offensive round, Smush Parker used the action of the street court to pass through the crotch, and made an emergency stop jump shot at the mid-range position.

These two goals not only helped the Hawks temporarily stabilize the situation on the court, but also attracted cheers from the Hawks bench.

Even the head coach Mike Woodson clenched his fists with complicated emotions. He obviously didn't expect that Smush Parker could kill so decisively without knowing his teammates.

In the next period of time, Smush Parker bravely stood up and took over the eagle's offensive banner.

Whether it is a personal offense or a three-point shooter who uses a breakthrough to distribute the ball to the outside stand, Smush Parker is like an elf on the court, sorting out the offense of the Eagles' second team in an orderly manner.

At the end of the halftime game, the Hawks led the Hornets by 12 points away, and Smush Parker also handed over seven points, two assists and one steal in just over eight minutes.

No one knows how much effort Smush Parker has put in for this day, but at this moment, Smush Parker has indeed proved his worth in the NBA.

Even if this short-lived performance is difficult to maintain for a long time, but with Smush Parker's excellent personal performance in the second quarter, Mike Woodson has already developed a little trust in the undrafted pick in [-].

In the second half of the game, the Hornets also set off a frenzy of counterattacks under the leadership of the head star Baron Davis, but the Hornets counterattacked several times in succession, but were forced by Steve Nash to pass the ball like an old dog. down.

Nash is a very stable point guard who can always give the Hornets a fatal blow when they are about to start, helping the Eagles always have the advantage in the score.

At the end of the game, the Eagles defeated the Hornets with 113:99 and 14 points in an away game by virtue of the outstanding performance of the team, and won their first victory since Suter was suspended by the league.

The victory in this game obviously made the Eagles very excited, and even head coach Mike Woodson was in a good mood at the post-game press conference.

The reason for the good mood is not that the team won the game. The main reason is that the team also showed good offensive firepower without Suter. This is far more important than a game victory. .

Suter is the well-deserved offensive and defensive core of the Eagles, but if a team wants to go further, it cannot rely solely on Suter's performance.

The championship has never been so far away, and competitive sports are also full of upsets. As long as the Hawks can maintain this stable offensive rhythm, Suter is likely to bring the Hawks to a height that fans can't even imagine.

After all, the Hawks' starting lineup this season is not bad at all, Nash, Derek - Anderson, "Martial Saint" Jackson, Suter and Rasheed - Wallace.

As long as they can solve the problem of scoring difficulties during rotation time, the Eagles are definitely a bone that no team in the league wants to chew!

----

After the road victory over the Charlotte Hornets, the Hawks have only one game left before this year's All-Star break, and Suter will also usher in a comeback in the next game against the Miami Heat.

The Eagles played against the Heat once this season, but Suter's defensive efficiency against the "left-handed magician" Odom in that game was extremely low. He only scored 13 points and 5 rebounds in the game, and his shooting percentage was insufficient. 40%.

Odom is a player who can play from position one to position five in the true sense. Not only is his core strength strong on the court, but his lateral movement speed is also very agile.

Suter is not afraid of strength players, nor is he afraid of speed players, but it is very difficult to face an all-around player like Odom.

The main reason is that Suter's offensive methods are relatively simple, and he cannot overcome strength with softness like Nowitzki, nor can he be as devastating as "Shark" O'Neal.

Therefore, when facing comprehensive insiders like Odom and Brand, Suter's performance on the court often struggles.

However, the last time the Eagles played against the Heat dates back to the end of November, and it has been two and a half months since now.

In these two and a half months, not only did Suter not stand still, but his personal strength has also improved greatly.

For this rematch against Odom, not only outside fans are very interested, even Suter himself is quite looking forward to it.

Suter wants to see how much he has improved compared to before, and what kind of personal performance he can deliver when facing the "left-handed magician" Odom's defense again.

The most important thing is that before the game against the Heat started, the system actually triggered the revenge mission in advance. This is the first time this happened after Suter got the system.

"Ding~Revenge mission has been activated~"

"Please host the next game against the Miami Heat. The mission requirements and rewards will be released before the game starts."

Su Te was obviously a little surprised when he heard the emotionless electronic sound coming from his mind. He obviously didn't expect that the system would accidentally activate the so-called revenge mission.

Although I don't know whether the requirements of the revenge mission are strict, I also don't know whether the rewards of the revenge mission are generous.

But in any case, this match with the Heat, this match against the "left-handed magician" Odom, Suter will definitely go all out.

Whether it's for the reward of the revenge mission or to get back the place he lost last time, Su Te has no reason to keep his hand!
At the same time, Odom, who had just finished the game with the Bucks, was also interviewed by sideline reporters after the game.

这场比赛热火和雄鹿一共打了两个加时，奥多姆全场出战47分钟，在扣篮王德斯蒙德-梅森的头上砍下了26分11篮板8助攻2抢断和3次封盖。

The comprehensive quasi-triple-double data makes Odom undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus of this game, and it also makes fans and the media look forward to the next game where Odom will face Souter. .

Odom is 100 meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. His body shape is almost the same as that of Suter. Although he is a little lighter, his core strength is not much different from Suter.

本赛季截至目前，奥多姆场均可以交出17.8分9.8篮板4.6助攻1.3抢断和1.1次封盖。

The comprehensive personal data even competes with Kevin Garnett who lives in an extremely cold place.

It's a pity that Miami hasn't received much attention in the past two years, so Odom lost to Vince Carter, O'Neal, Souter and Artest of the Pacers in this year's All-Star voting. Regrettably lost to this year's All-Star Game held in Los Angeles.

Faced with interviews and questions from reporters after the game, the sweaty Odom stood on the sidelines and answered honestly.

And when the reporter asked what he thought about the next game against the "Vulture", who is currently very popular in the league, Odom wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel with a smile on his face.

"To be honest, I don't have any ideas. He was lucky. He was trained by the team in his rookie season."

"If I remember correctly, he seemed to have lost to me last time, and he was defended by me throughout the whole game, and I couldn't bear to die."

"The vulture's growth rate is indeed astonishing, but it's only astonishing. After all, no one will care about a defeated player."
