I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 140 140. Unstoppable Beast!The most dominant super rookie since Shaquille O'Neal!

On February 2, the Eagles, who recently won five consecutive victories in the season, took a plane to Boston and will challenge the Boston Celtics, the league's giants, in an away game.

The Celtics have undergone a lot of changes in the lineup this season. Because the team's head coach O'Brien's team leadership record in the first half of the season is relatively average, the Celtics management decisively fired before the All-Star Weekend. Got O'Brien's squid.

The team's head coach is temporarily headed by chief assistant John Carroll.

John Carroll has never been a head coach before. Compared with O'Brien, who led the team with a winning rate of more than 50% for three consecutive years, John Carroll's coaching ability is obviously worse.

However, now that the Celtics management has made up their minds to prepare for a big fight, O'Brien can only be regarded as a moderate coaching ability, and it is difficult to satisfy the appetite of the management.

Firing the former head coach O'Brien is only the first step of the Celtics management's plan to overthrow and rebuild. The Celtics will definitely build a team around Paul Pierce and try to rebuild the team through a lot of reinforcements and trades. Return to the ranks of the top teams in the league.

This season, due to the team management's team building ideas in the early and mid-season deviations, this also led to the Celtics making many large and small transactions this season. At present, the entire team, except for Paul Pierce, Everyone else is likely to be packaged and sent away by the management again during the offseason.

而混乱的球队氛围也让凯尔特人队的战绩始终差强人意，哪怕当家球星保罗-皮尔斯场均可以交出23分6.5篮板5.1助攻和1.6次抢断，凯尔特人的胜率也只不过才勉强维持在45%左右。

The only thing that surprises the management is that the overall strength of the Eastern Conference this year is simply terrible. Even though the Celtics' game winning percentage is less than 45%, the Celtics can still be ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.

And there are only two wins behind the New York Knicks, who are ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference.

In other words, even if the Celtics' winning percentage this season is less than 45%, they are likely to enter the playoffs as the eighth seed in the second half of the season, so as to increase as much exposure as possible to facilitate the offseason reinforcement.

It has to be said that the overall strength of the Eastern Conference in the past two years is indeed very weak. Even a team like the Celtics that is ready to be overthrown and rebuilt can see the threshold of the playoffs. The teams that are desperate for a place in the playoffs are simply struggling.

Obviously, everyone's final destination is the same, but the difficulty of breaking out of the shackles of the Eastern Conference is obviously much lower than that of the Western Conference, and some fans even posted on the Internet to tease that this year's finals do not need to go to the scene to watch, just need to Knowing which team in the West has reached the finals, then the final championship trophy will be settled in advance.

Although this statement is more or less ridiculed and exaggerated, it can indeed prove from the side that there is a huge gap in the overall strength of the East and West.

If the Celtics' current team record of less than 45% is placed in the West, they can only barely rank in front of the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns, ranking third from the bottom in the West.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison. I believe that the two teams that tried their best this year but can only rank ninth and tenth in the West will definitely hate their teeth and regret why they were not planned by the league to go to the East. war zone.

The Eagles, who had a day off for the entire game, did not spend much effort against the Celtics to establish a double-digit lead early.

Except for Paul Pierce who can score through individual singles in positional battles, the Celtics' scoring ability is average. Facing the Eagles' flexible and fast defense rotation, it is difficult to come up with too good offensive opportunities.

Even Ricky Davis, the second-in-command who was just traded from the Cavaliers not long ago, had a hard time facing Stephen Jackson in one-on-one.

半场比赛结束，里基-戴维斯的进攻效率只有11投3中，其中三分线外2中0，罚球2中1，勉强拿到了7分3篮板2助攻的数据。

If it weren't for Paul Pierce's 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the half, the Celtics would have surrendered long ago.

In this game, the Hawks coaching staff did not allow Stephen Jackson, who has better defensive ability, to defend Pierce. The Walters focused all their offense on Paul Pierce alone.

Paul Pierce's offensive ability is good, but he still can't defeat a team by himself, so the coaching staff simply let Paul Pierce attack alone, and resolutely cut off the chances of others accidentally breaking out.

Paul Pierce's shooting percentage this season is only a poor 38.7%, and his three-point shooting percentage is as low as 28.9%. It can be described as outrageously low.

Of course, a large part of the reason why Paul Pierce's offensive efficiency has hit a new career low is that the teammates around him really can't help Paul Pierce. Relying on Paul Pierce to win the game alone.

Knowing this, the Hawks coaching staff did not try to flank Paul Pierce like other teams, thus forcing him to pass the ball to other teammates to end the offense.

The strategy formulated by the Eagles' coaching staff is Tian Ji horse racing. Since Paul Pierce is not easy to defend, the Eagles simply let Paul Pierce play endlessly by himself.

As long as the Celtics play poorly except for Paul Pierce, the Hawks are destined to take away this victory away.

Judging from the trend of the entire first half of the game, there is indeed no problem with the strategy of the Eagles coaching staff, and the tactical execution of the players on the court is even better than the Eagles coaching staff expected, so that the Celtics have no No.2 except Pierce The player scored in double figures and could only rely on Pierce's offense to barely support the game.

On the other hand, the Eagles' offense is a typical multi-point blooming, especially the head star Suter, who staged an overwhelming drama in the Celtics' penalty area.

Even though John Carroll started double-teaming Souter in the second half, Souter still played an efficient individual performance, ignoring the Celtics' inside defense at all.

Since sending away "Fat Toutuo" Antoine Walker in the offseason, the Celtics' power forward configuration has been reduced to the worst in the league.

The current starting power forward used by the Celtics has always been the space-type insider Walter McCarty, an offensive power forward who is 104 meters tall and weighs 3.1 kilograms, but averaged only [-] rebounds per game this season. players.

Walter McCarty was selected by the New York Knicks with the 1996th overall pick in the first round of the 19 draft. He didn’t get too many playing opportunities in the Knicks in his rookie season. He averaged only 5.5 minutes per game and was basically at the bottom. The patron saint of drinking fountains.

It wasn't until the Knicks sent the Boston Celtics to the Boston Celtics through a trade in the second season that McCarty's career ushered in a turning point.

个人数据从上个赛季的场均1.7分0.5篮板0.4助攻上涨到了9.6分4.4篮板2.2助攻和1.3次抢断。

But what no one expected was that that season was the most brilliant performance of McCarty's career. Since then, McCarty's average per game has been worse than every year, until the Celtics officially chose to rebuild this season. , McCarty's scoring data barely rose to an average of 7.9 points per game.

Walter McCarty averaged 6.8 shots per game this season, and 4.8 of them came from outside the three-point line. In this day and age, it is absolutely crazy for a post player to take five three-pointers per game. things.

However, McCarty's 38.4% three-point shooting rate does have this capital. After all, this shooting efficiency is already better than most outside players. It is not an exaggeration to say that McCarty is the top inside shooter in the active league. .

Unfortunately, when McCarty, who averaged only 0.3 blocks per game this season, met Suter, it was bound to be a bloody massacre.

It is McCarty's poor defensive level that is linked to the excellent three-pointer feel. Facing Souter's beast-like impact throughout the game, McCarty was beaten to death on the defensive end, and even once in the game. Without entering the timeout, he walked straight off the court, and expressed to the coach with a sad face that he did not want to stay on the court.

It is worth mentioning that McCarty, who was kicked back to the court by head coach John Carroll, quickly received his sixth personal foul. Except for fouls, McCarty really didn't have much to stop Suter's beastly impact.

The strange thing is that after the sixth criminal left the field, not only did McCarty not show any frustration on his face, but he was still smiling when he left the field, as if he had breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, McCarty's midway departure suffered another Celtics starting insider Mark Blunt.

As the starting center used by the Celtics since the beginning of the season, Mark Blunt, who is 104 meters tall and weighs 10.3 kilograms, can contribute 7.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and [-] blocks per game.

The stats look pretty good, at least in today's big league, Mark Blunt's stats are considered above average, as long as you don't suffer too serious injuries, you can easily get a free market if you test the waters A contract with an annual salary of more than 700 million.

Don't underestimate the $2004 million in 700, which is better than Paul Pierce's salary this season, which is only a little over 1000 million.

It's no secret that active league inside players are worth much more than outside players.

Even an insider who averages 5 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block per game dares to ask for an annual salary of 500 million US dollars. The key is that there are really teams rushing to pay money to grab people. Today's era is so friendly and crazy to inside players.

Of course, Mark Blunt's personal ability is not bad, and he can be ranked above the middle in the league's fifth position, but when Suter is off the ball and ready to dunk, Mark Blunt can do it. The only thing left is to step aside quickly to avoid becoming an excellent background board when Suter catches the ball and dunks.

When the game progressed to more than six minutes into the third quarter, Mark Blunt, who felt that he was doing it again, tried to block Suter's tomahawk dunk head-on during a retreat.

The result was obvious. When the bodies of Suter and Blunt collided fiercely in the air, Blunt lost his balance in an instant. While falling hard to the ground, Suter completed a ferocious and brutal blow. Another dunk!
Ever since Suter ruthlessly dunked him to the ground in this defensive round, Blunt immediately understood what it means to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Next, when he saw Suter's dunk when he cut without the ball, Blunt pretended that he didn't see it, and even deliberately showed the coaching staff that he tried his best, but it was obviously still half a beat slow.

What an international joke, Mark Blunt only has a salary of 94 US dollars this season, so he has nothing to do!
Originally, the most important thing in a contract year is to try to leave a good impression on other teams. If Suter frequently dunks in a game, which will cause the outside world to question his ability to protect the frame, then It's his mother's fuck-ass!
At the end of the game, the Celtics lost to the Hawks by 19 points at home after all six fouls left by the two starting insiders. The longest seven-game losing streak of the season.

After this game, the Eagles' current team record has reached 28 wins and 25 losses, surpassing the Miami Heat for the first time this season, and temporarily rose to the fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

整场比赛，苏特面对凯尔特人内线的轮流防守完全没有感受到任何进攻压力，在仅仅登场29分钟的情况下，苏特就用超过75%的投篮命中率狂轰27分14篮板3助攻2抢断和1次封盖。

He scored at least 20+10 in five consecutive games, becoming the first rookie player to achieve this achievement since Tim Duncan.

Whether it is against the "projection insider" Walter McCarty, or Brandon Hunter, who was selected by the Celtics with the 27th pick in the second round of this year's draft, Suter has played his own All-Star beast dominance.

Especially Brandon Hunter, who is also a second-round pick, was still holding his breath when he was facing Souter, and planned to prove himself in front of head coach John Carroll, and strive to pass the matchup against Souter. Playing his team status, let the coaching staff headed by John Carroll look at him with admiration.

However, young people sit too idle off the court and tend to think too much. Before the match, Brandon Hunter always thought that Suter was no big deal.

At most, his physical fitness is better than his own, and his offensive skills are more delicate than his own. After all, everyone is also a rookie who has just entered the league. Even if the gap is big, how big can it be? ?

However, Suter only used two offensive rounds to make Brandon Hunter look at himself hanging on the basket in a daze. If the United States also has national essence, Brandon Hunter will definitely shout at this time. Say those two extremely authoritative words.

"Lying-trough!"

"This he-mother is still a person??"

----

On February 2, local time in the United States, the league announced the best players in the East and West for the previous week.

In the West, it was the Lakers star "Shark" O'Neal who won the best player in the West last week.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers played a total of three games, and in these three games, Shaq O'Neal, who is old and strong, averaged 26 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks per game. The shooting rate is as high as 62.5%, and even the free throw shooting rate, which has always been below 50% this season, has reached 68.3%.

Although "Shark" O'Neal is 32 years old and his physical functions have begun to decline, when O'Neal becomes serious on the court, few people in the league can defend against O'Neal's offense one-on-one.

There is no doubt that the 32-year-old Shaq O'Neal is still one of the best players in the league, even occupying the position of the league's first center until this season, so that other players can only grow under O'Neal's rule.

With O'Neal's outstanding personal performance, the Lakers also had a record of [-] wins and [-] losses last week, thus once again overtaking the Minnesota Timberwolves and returning to the No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

At the same time, O'Neal further shortened the gap between himself and Kevin Garnett by virtue of his explosive performance after the All-Star Weekend. Garnett has become the best candidate for the regular season MVP this season.

According to the Los Angeles trail media, the reason why O'Neal ushered in an explosion after the All-Star Weekend was because he had a private bet with Kobe. The content of the bet was who could win the best player in the Western Conference this week.

As for what the two bet on, the outside world has not yet known, but the final result is obvious. The serious O'Neal won the bet, and his personal performance last week was slightly better than Kobe Bryant. Three-time Western Conference Player of the Week.

而东部方面，老鹰球员苏特则凭借场均27.5分15.3篮板3.5助攻2抢断和2.3次封盖的炸裂数据毫无争议的当选为上一周的东部最佳球员。

Throughout last week, the Eagles relied on Suter's strong personal performance to achieve a record of 14 wins and [-] losses. While raising the ranking to fourth in the Eastern Conference, even the defensive efficiency that has been poor this season has been further improved. Rising all the way to [-]th in the league, he played the best defensive performance since the start of the season.

In addition, Suter's performance last week also broke a number of NBA historical records in a row, becoming the first player since "Shark" O'Neal to score at least 27+15+3+2+2 in his rookie season. Super rookie who was voted player of the week.

There is no doubt that Suter, who is in Atlanta, is sweeping the league with his beast-like style of play, making every team deeply aware that there is a beast whose dominance in the restricted area is comparable to "Shark" O'Neal is quietly rising .
