I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 150 150. Re-elected as the best of the month, the first in history!Rodman's fusion card expires, and the rebounding attribute is improved!
On March 3, local time in the United States, many fans outside were still discussing the fact that the Eagles had just won their ten-game winning streak in the season, but the league announced the winners of various honors in the East and West in February that morning.

Among them, the best player in the Western Conference in February was awarded to Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

Although Kobe unfortunately lost to teammate "Shark" O'Neal in the last player of the week selection, but in terms of performance throughout February, Kobe is more stable and prominent than "Shark" O'Neal.

While leading the team to a record of eight wins and two losses in a single month, Kobe averaged 29.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game in February.

Among them, the shooting rate was 46.2%. Even the three-point shooting rate, which has been lower than the league average this season, also shot 35.7% in February.

In fact, as the Lakers' scoring leader this season, Kobe's role on both ends of the offense and defense is absolutely very important. Except that the offensive efficiency is not as terrifying as the inside player O'Neal, Kobe's offensive ability on the field has gradually begun to surpass that of the "big shark" O'Neal has officially become one of the best players in the active league in handling key balls.

Even though the joining of "Glove" Payton and Karl Malone led to the reduction of Kobe's offensive ball rights, Kobe is still the most dominant guard in the league this season. In terms of overall ability, he is even better than Carter and Tracy McGrady. The brothers are even better.

Even Allen Iverson, the only short guard who can challenge Kobe's scoring ability, has been ignored by the outside world because of the team's record, and has rarely been compared with Kobe by fans.

Especially when the league intends to suppress Allen Iverson, Kobe's rise is only a matter of time. As long as Kobe can maintain his competitive state in recent seasons, Kobe will be able to sit on the league's first shooting guard in the future. Location.

Regarding Kobe's election as the best player in the Western Conference in February, there were not many doubts and dissatisfaction from the outside world.

After all, throughout February, Kobe was not only the player with the highest scoring average per game in the West, but also one of the stars with the best team performance. Regardless of the selection considerations, Kobe is eligible to be elected as the best player in the West in February.

And this election is also the first time Kobe has won the honor of Player of the Month this season, becoming the second Lakers to win this honor after teammate O'Neal.

东部方面，老鹰球星苏特凭借二月份场均27.6分13.7篮板4.2助攻1.5抢断和2.1次封盖的惊人表现，毫无意外的当选为东部最佳球员。

At the same time, this is also the second time that Suter has been elected as the best player of the month this season, becoming the only big player in the league who has been elected at least twice. The league's top stars such as Duncan still have cards, which can be called an alternative among rookies.

In addition, Suter's data in February also broke multiple historical records in a row, becoming the first person in history to score at least 27 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks in a single month since the NBA perfected statistics. And the first-year rookie with a team record of no less than 80%.

Even the "big shark" O'Neal, who ruled the penalty zone when he first entered the league, failed to do this, but now Suter, a little-known second-round pick, broke multiple data records in a row. It can be said that many media The expert was shocked to death.

Throughout February, the Atlanta Hawks had a record of 8 wins and 1 loss under the leadership of Suter. If it weren't for the All-Star Weekend, the Hawks only played a total of nine games, and Suter is likely to lead the team to a winning percentage. Higher monthly figures.

It is worth mentioning that in the only game the Eagles lost in February, Suter did not play due to suspension. Amazing 8%.

The only game that the Eagles lost was to the Minnesota Timberwolves led by the league's top star Kevin Garnett.

Because Suter had a big fight with Chris Webber in the game against the Kings at the end of January, he was suspended by the league and failed to play, thus missing the opportunity to face top power forward Kevin Garnett head-on.

This incident made many Eagles fans feel sorry at the time, thinking that it was a pity not to see the two most comprehensive power forward players in the league compete.

After all, the Eagles and Timberwolves have only played against each other twice throughout the season, and it is a pity full of coincidences that Souter was unable to play in these two duels due to suspension.

The first time the two sides played against each other was on December 2003, 12. In that game, Suter was suspended by the league for 22 games because of beating Bruce Bowen. In the end, the Eagles regretted the loss at home.

The same is true for the second match between the two sides, except that the person who clashed with Souter changed from Bruce Bowen to Chris Webber, and the Eagles still swallowed a defeat and were double-killed by the Timberwolves in a single season.

Even Suter felt sorry for not being able to face Kevin Garnett head-on on the court. The system will definitely release very rich task rewards before the game.

Regardless of whether the Eagles have the ability to defeat the Timberwolves on the court and take away the victory, they missed the opportunity to improve their personal strength for no reason, which still makes Suter feel uncomfortable.

Unless the Hawks and Timberwolves meet in the final finals, Souter in his rookie season is doomed to miss Kevin Garnett's lucrative "copy".

In terms of other awards, the best coach in the Eastern Conference in February was naturally won by the Eagles coach Mike Woodson who was stained with Souter.

As the saying goes, one person rises to heaven, and as Suter's personal performance becomes more and more dominant, Mike Woodson, the team's head coach, naturally follows Suter's rise.

The best coach in the Western Conference in February was accepted by Lakers head coach Phil Jackson. Both of them are considered to be the stars of their players. They still led the team to play well even though the team's tactical play basically remained unchanged. team record.

To be honest, Mike Woodson's adaptability is better than that of the "nine crown coach" Phil Jackson, but the two are not the same type of coach, so it is difficult to compete in the performance of the team.

Finally, there is no suspense about the best rookie in the East and West in February. No one in the East can perform better than Suter. While Suter has become the best player in the East, the best rookie can only be regarded as incidental .

As for the Western Conference, Carmelo Anthony, whose average data has been stable at around 20 points per game, has no opponent at all. Since entering the league, he has been occupying the position of the best rookie in the Western Conference. Anthony yelled his name openly, but he could only occasionally say something sour in private as if he had eaten a lemon.

After all, among the [-] rookies in the entire Western Conference, only Carmelo Anthony scored in double figures.

In addition, the highest scorer is Mavericks rookie Josh Howard, who has averaged 8.6 points per game so far, and there is a visible gap between him and Carmelo Anthony.

The two are not rookies of the same level at all, and no one has even compared Josh Howard with Anthony from the beginning to the end, because this is not a multiple-choice question at all, it can only be regarded as a bonus question at best.

With the announcement of the honors of the east and west divisions in February, the league once again fell into endless discussions. Outside fans commented and criticized the honor winners this time, as if they had to say a few words on the Internet, this time Honor becomes worthless.

Some people questioned that the league has given too much resources to the Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Few fans resisted and questioned.

Some people also questioned that Eagles coach Mike Woodson was not worthy of being elected as the best coach in February. What Woodson did was to give the ball to the star and let Souter and Nash use their personal abilities to solve the problem.

Except for the ability of the Eagles to develop extreme offensive and defensive transitions in the middle of the season, Mike Woodson has not shown to the outside world that he has any other advantages until now.

On the contrary, they are often photographed by the media during timeouts without talking about tactics but crazily instilling chicken soup into the players. All kinds of behaviors make fans question Mike Woodson's coaching ability, thinking that the existence of Mike Woodson is likely to delay Souter personal growth.

After all, Suter has conquered the Atlanta fans with his crazy personal performance. No one will question Suter's talent, no one will question Suter's upper limit, and people are starting to worry about it. Instead, it is the new head coach Mike Woodson Whether it can provide the most favorable guidance for the growth of Suter's career.

In any case, as a rookie head coach who has never had a coaching experience before this season, Mike Woodson has been questioned and criticized a lot, especially during Suter's suspension, the Eagles frequently suffered consecutive losses. During that time Mike -Woodson was almost crushed by outside public opinion.

It's hard to say whether Mike Woodson is really capable of supporting a team full of talents, but at least before the Hawks successfully reach the finals, Mike Woodson is destined to be difficult to get rid of the burdens on himself .

But what everyone didn't expect was that this time, when the outside world had critical remarks on Kobe, Mike Woodson and even Carmelo Anthony, Suter, who won the Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month at the same time, was It has won unanimous praise online.

Looking around, the evaluation of Suter on the Internet is basically promising, full of talent, and future stars, which are positive praises. Except for some black fans who continue to attack Suter personally, Suter is currently in The reputation in the league has almost reached the point of "everyone's attention".

Before the start of the draft, all the remarks used to praise LeBron James were copied by the media to Suter, as if Suter would not suffer too serious injuries in his next career, then Suter would definitely Become one of the league's greatest stars.

What kind of experience is it for a rookie who has just entered the league to be unanimously favored by all fans and experts outside? Don't, don't, don't stop!"

----

In the afternoon, Suter, who was not in the game, was performing mid-range shooting training on both sides accompanied by a trainer.

Even if Suter doesn't really want to practice the mid-range shot, Mike Woodson's training plan for Suter is mainly based on the mid-range shot and the air cut after the pick-and-roll.

In the words of Hawks head coach Mike Woodson, as long as Suter can practice the mid-range shooting rate to a stable level, then Suter can dominate the league only with his breakthrough and mid-range shooting abilities.

After all, the CIC is still the current mainstream offensive method in the league. Compared with the three-pointer that is not doing business properly, and the penalty area that is strictly guarded by the opponent, it is often easier to come up with opportunities in the mid-range position on the court.

Mike Woodson's strategic approach for Souter is not a big problem. The problem is that both Souter and Nash's high pick-and-rolls are initiated from a step or so from the free throw line.

In other words, Suter's mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll is also in this position, which is what people often say is two points long.

As an experienced player, Suter is well aware that the long two-pointer is the area with the lowest offensive efficiency on the basketball court. The analysis reports and experimental results in this regard have long been no secret in the small ball era.

However, due to the defensive background of this period and the mid-range shooting culture brought by Michael Jordan, the two-point area is a favorite position of all teams in the league, and there are even players who specifically choose this position to shoot. Not shooting seven or eight long two-pointers per game can be described as uncomfortable.

Suter doesn't understand why these people are so obsessed with long two-pointers. One step back is the three-point line, and the next step is the free throw line. Either of these two positions is more efficient than two-pointers.

But these guys still like to pull up jumpers in the area between the free throw line and the three-point line, which is really confusing.

What I have to admit is that the position of two points long can indeed produce better shooting opportunities, at least it is much less defensive pressure than the free throw line.

But the point is that the league's defense outside the three-point line is as vulnerable as newspapers. No one will stalk players outside the three-point line.

The top shooters in the league like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen have never enjoyed the treatment of being double-teamed by opponents outside the three-point line, let alone those players who only occasionally shoot outside the three-point line.

Suter felt that instead of doing a lot of practice shots at the long two-point position, it would be better to develop one or two hot spots outside the three-point line, so that his offensive efficiency would definitely become higher.

After all, my current long-range shooting attribute has also been upgraded to B-, and I am fully capable of implementing some three-point shooting tactics. I just need to practice more retreating skills on weekdays, and I can completely gain more benefits in actual combat.

It's a pity that Mike Woodson, who has short hair and short knowledge, doesn't think so. Woodson always believes that three-pointers will not become the mainstream of the league.

You can usually practice three-point shooting, but Woodson still hopes that Suter can focus more on the inside of his training, instead of gradually developing into a soft guy and alternative like Nowitzki.

In this regard, Suter is really helpless. Even if Mike Woodson does not object to practicing three-pointers, the chances of getting Woodson to specially arrange three-pointers for himself may not be high.

Unless I can let Woodson see the benefits of the three-pointer for the team and the impact on the game situation in the next game, otherwise even if general manager Rick Sander supports him, it is estimated that the team It's also hard to understand what you're doing.

After all, Nowitzki at this stage is indeed a negative textbook among the league's inside stars. The violent style of play is more popular with coaches than the projection style. This view cannot be changed by Suter in a few words.

After receiving a pass from the trainer, Suter chose to step back and pull out of the three-point line in the two-point position, and then shot the ball as chicly as James Harden.

"Shu~"

With the sound of the ball going into the net, Suter, who made a step-back three-point shot, stood still, cursing in a low voice, "Fuck, fuck Reinovitski!"

As Suter practiced repeatedly interspersed with mid-range shots and step-back three-pointers, Suter's body was soon drenched in sweat. It was not until Suter made three consecutive retreat-step three-pointers in the same position that Suter turned around and left the court. rest.

Sitting off the court, Suter habitually called up the system interface. When Suter saw that his rebounding attribute had really improved from B to B+, Suter, who was drinking water with his head up, was obviously taken aback. Then he remembered Today is the last day to settle the Dennis Rodman Rebound Smell Fusion Card.

There was a hint of surprise on his face. Suter, who had just sat down for not even a minute, quickly bounced up from his seat, and then ran back to the basket with the trainer who had just walked off the court to drink saliva.

Until the trainer was carried back to the court by Suter like carrying a sack, the trainer still had a look of bewilderment and confusion on his face, obviously he didn't understand what Suter wanted to do? ?
I didn't even drink my saliva, so you dragged me back to the court, are you still a human? ?
"I suddenly want to practice rebounding. Kevin is not here today, so I can only trouble you."

"Come on, shoot! Don't pity me, shoot hard for me!"

"???"

Reaching out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, the young trainer named Josh Jackson pointed to the water bottle beside the court: "Actually, I want to drink some water and take a rest..."

Interrupting Josh Jackson's words, Suter walked up to him step by step, clapped his hands heavily on Jackson's shoulders, and fixed his eyes on Josh Jackson's pupils: "No, you don't want to."

"I think…"

"You do not want!"

"I…"

Feeling Suter's hand pinching his shoulder more and more forcefully, and staring at his face with an increasingly ferocious expression, the young physical trainer Josh Jackson swallowed subconsciously: "So, before starting the rebounding training , can I drink some water?"

"..."
