I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 157 157. Antoine Walker, this unlucky boy!Mentality collapsed!
On the defensive end, Suter's personal performance is also very good.

Throughout the first half, whether it was Antoine Walker or Jamison, the two played extremely poor offensive efficiency in the face of Souter's personal defense.

Especially the "Fat Toutuo" Walker, in addition to scoring consecutive points against the Eagles' bench in the second quarter, Walker did not score a point in the head-to-head matchup with Suter, and he only made [-] of [-] shots. Suter was suffocated.

In contrast, Antawn Jamison, who has a longer shooting range, performed slightly better than Walker.

But in the head-to-head round with Souter, Jamison's shooting percentage was only [-] of [-] from the field.

The data of five points, two rebounds and two assists in the half is certainly not outstanding, even far below Jamison's personal average this season.

Undoubtedly, Suter played a dominant performance on both offense and defense in the first half of the game. The double-double data of 30 points and 10 rebounds in the half has become the Mavericks coach Don Nelson. nightmare.

During the intermission, Mike Woodson rarely praised Suter in the locker room: "Sue, your three-pointer has become very threatening now. In the second half, you can play as much as you want without thinking about other aspects. The problem."

"I will let other people try to do more off-ball screens on your running route. Don't be afraid of missing shots, and don't be afraid of public opinion and ridicule from the outside world. As long as you can release your touch, the Mavericks will surely win in the second half. Definitely lose."

Since Suter's performance in his rookie season has reached a historical level, even "Shark" O'Neal, who ruled the penalty area as soon as he entered the league, is not much better than Suter.

So on weekdays, Eagles head coach Mike Woodson seldom praises Suter in public, because Suter's outstanding personal performance is obvious to all. suspicion.

However, today Suter has a strong desire to attack on the court, and he also shoots decisively from beyond the three-point line. It was Suter who had never appeared in the previous game.

Mike Woodson knows that Souter and Nowitzki are likely to be strong contenders for the best team of the season.

For Suter's eagerness to play an explosive personal performance, Woodson still expressed his understanding.

So in this game, Woodson never thought of restricting Suter's personal performance, and he must let Suter complete the finish according to the offensive area he set.

The rookie head coach has the advantage of a rookie head coach. When the players are hot, Mike Woodson rarely uses stubborn thoughts to manipulate the game.

In other words, as the head coach, Mike Woodson actually left a lot of free space for the players. As long as the players can deliver a personal performance that satisfies Woodson, then Woodson really doesn't mind the players using it. What kind of way to win the game.

This kind of thinking similar to laying flat coaches is absolutely unacceptable to academic coaches such as Larry Brown and Rick Carlisle.

The academic coaches firmly believe that players can only play high-quality individual games if they perform tasks according to the plan formulated by the coaching staff.

And when a player chooses to attack against the will of the head coach, it is a cancer on the field.

Thanks to Suter's rookie season, he didn't play under the stubborn coaches like Larry Brown and Rick Carlisle. Otherwise, no matter how strong Suter's physical fitness is, he would only be used as a blue-collar insider and arranged to fight for offensive rebounds. , and the dirty work of assisting the center to get stuck, if you are unlucky, or simply don't have much playing time.

Mike Woodson likes players to shoot three-pointers not because of how advanced his coaching philosophy is, but because he believes that playing like this can maximize the space for the team.

At the beginning, Woodson arranged a lot of three-point tactics on the court, just to allow the team's rising star Suter to get a better offensive environment on the court.

However, as Suter's offensive methods became more and more comprehensive on the court, Woodson found that with Suter's current personal ability, he no longer needed to arrange specific tactics for him to find scoring positions.

After all, there are only a handful of players in the entire league who can defend Souter one-on-one.

Souter can always play different offensive effects when facing different defensive players. This offensive change not only surprised the Eagles coaching staff, but even the Eagles general manager Rick Sander was shocked.

Until now Mike Woodson still remembers that in the high-level meeting, Rick Sander slapped the table angrily and said to him with a serious face: "The vulture is the future of the Eagles. Make tactical adjustments to your playing habits, instead of letting the vultures adapt to the plans you have made!!"

Since Suter's shooting from outside the three-point line is good in this game, and he seems to have a little persistence in the three-pointer, then Woodson naturally doesn't mind pushing the boat along. In the second half, he helped Suter arrange more off-ball screens and tried to let Suter Te finds better shots from beyond the three-point line.

Even if Mike Woodson really can't figure out why Suter, who has always been a tough player, suddenly became obsessed with three-pointers in this game, but as long as the team wins and Suter's performance explodes, then other doubts will be of great help to Woodson. Actually it's not that important.

Only those who know Mike Woodson well enough can understand why Mike Woodson, who has never had any coaching experience, can take over the coach smoothly after the former Hawks head coach Stotts got out of class Playoff team coach.

It's not that Mike Woodson has so much talent in coaching, and it's not that the Eagles management can't find a better head coach to replace Mike Woodson as the coach.

It’s just that Mike Woodson’s way of life is deeply loved by the team’s management and players. No one can reject a reasonable coach like Mike Woodson. At least Suter has been playing under Woodson. Comfortable.

Compared with George Karl, who has a more brilliant career coaching resume and stronger coaching ability, Suter still prefers to play under Mike Woodson, even though Suter never played for that old bastard George Karl.

The reason why Suter is obsessed with three-pointers in this game is that apart from the task issued by the system before the game requiring Suter to hit three three-pointers, and the three-pointer shooting rate is as high as 35%, there is a large part of the reason. It was the Mavericks who were a bit lazy on Souter's defense from beyond the arc.

In many cases, defensive players just extended their hands symbolically, and they would not follow Suter to defend the whole process.

I don't know whether it's Nelson who firmly believes that Suter can't shoot too efficiently from beyond the three-point line, or whether the Mavericks' perimeter defense is really rubbish. In short, Suter played relatively easily in this game.

Compared with the previous game against the Detroit Pistons against Ben Wallace, the defensive pressure tonight was heaven for Suter, and even Suter didn't want to end the game prematurely.

As the second half began, Mavericks star Antoine Walker's eyes became sharper.

After he experienced a psychological struggle in the locker room, Walker decided to increase the frequency of his shots in the second half, trying to regain some face on Suter's head.

Walker is now just three of nine shots, and all three of those hits were made by Antawn Walker against the Hawks second unit.

Even with free throws, Walker only scored 8 points at this time.

In the first half against Souter, Antoine Walker played very badly. Not only did he fail to score on Souter's head, but he was easily scored by Souter as if he went to an ATM to withdraw money.

Walker felt that his appearance in the first half was a bit embarrassing, and he didn't dare to shoot when facing Suter's personal defense, and he looked like a cowardly dog.

Thinking that after this game, he might be sprayed by Dallas fans, Antoine Walker decided to play hard with the ball.

As the saying goes, the best way to defeat fear is to face it. If he dare not shoot, he will die miserably after the game.

He takes the ball from the outside to the three-point line to throw a three-pointer. As long as he has a shooting percentage of about [-]%, it can be converted into a good scoring data.

If he wants to face the fans with this face after the game, Walker, who has an annual salary of 1350 million this season, must usher in a rebound in the second half.

The Mavericks went first, and Antawn Walker received the pass once half court and faced the basket in a triple-threat position.

He continuously dribbled the ball from the crotch and turned back to the top of the arc all the way to the three-point line. Facing the defense of "The Beast" Souter, he decisively chose to pull.

However, Suter, who has an amazing bullet speed, successfully interfered with Antoine Walker's shooting with his hand, and Antoine Walker, who was defending against him, hit an iron when he came back in the second half.

In the Eagles battle, Suter first slid to the baseline from the left and cut without the ball, then Rasheed Wallace made an off-ball screen for Suter on the right. To Stephen Jackson's close pass.

Suter's two three-pointers hit today are all on the right side, so the running route chosen by Suter to attack this time is still closer to the right side.

A lot of time was lost by Rasheed Wallace's cover, and "Fat Toutuo" Walker's pursuit was obviously a step slower. When Walker sprinted all the way to the position of the three-point line, Suter had already taken off and made a standard in the air. shooting action.

"Shua~", this time Suter still hit the third three-pointer of the game from the same position, 76:63.

Seeing that Suter hit a three-pointer from the outside as soon as he came back in the second half, the commentator Charles Barkley couldn't help sighing: "It's hard to believe that the Vulture, who has always been known as the iron and blood in the fans' impression, would use a three-pointer. Break down the Mavericks defense."

"This is the first contest between the Vultures and Dirk Nowitzki this season, but looking at it now, the Vultures beat the Mavericks to collapse in just half of the game, and the data of 33 points and 10 rebounds is even more impressive. Completely crush Dirk."

"If the league finally decides between the Vulture and Dirk for the best team of the season, I think the Vulture has no reason to fail."

Kenny Smith followed up with a smile: "And the Vulture still scored on Antoine's head this time. Today, the Vulture almost single-handedly turned Antoine's contract into a garbage contract. How bad is Antoine's defensive efficiency, and why did the Celtics reluctantly give up this star who averaged 20+ points per game last season."

"I think that after the game, the reporters will definitely interview Antoine Walker and Vulture, and let the two talk about their feelings about each other. But now, Antoine probably won't appear in the press conference."

Antoine Walker asked for the ball again after halftime, and seemed to want to return Souter, but McGinnis, who was standing at the top of the arc and holding the ball, failed to pass the ball this time.

McGinnis can see that Walker's mentality has a very serious problem at this time. How can Walker's offensive efficiency be guaranteed in singles with the ball against a beast like Suter who may be selected for the best defensive team?

Even Antoine Walker, who is feeling hot, can't guarantee that he can take advantage of Souter. What's more, Walker feels cold in this game, like a blacksmith from a blacksmith's shop.

In Antoine Walker's current state, even if McGinnis doesn't pass the ball to him, Old Nelson will never say anything. He may even praise McGinnis's sanity in his heart, and then swear at him Antoine Walker took a bite.

Seeing that McGinnis didn't pass the ball to himself, Walker was standing on the left three-point line and was about to yell, when he heard the voiceless roar from the head coach Nelson.

Obviously, the old Nelson at this moment was indeed very angry and dissatisfied with Antoine Walker's irrational behavior.

And old Nelson's voiceless roar also managed to cool Antoine Walker's irritable personal emotions gradually, and even a layer of cold sweat rose on his back. Fortunately, that guy McGinnis didn't pass the ball to him just now.

On the offensive end, Nowitzki and McGinnis went to play the pick-and-roll. The former received the ball from a high position and passed it to Josh Howard who cut inside.

As a member of this year's draft, Josh Howard's performance is not very explosive, but Howard's physical fitness is very good.

At least Derek Anderson, who has a knee injury, can hardly keep up with Josh Howard's explosion head-on, so he can only use small movements from the side to try to improve defensive efficiency.

After receiving a pass from Nowitzki, Howard relied on speed to get rid of Derek Anderson's defense, went to the basket, jumped up and pulled the bar to avoid Rasheed Wallace's block, and used a backhand layup to hit the board Send it into the net, "shua", 76:65.

This goal was very beautiful. Josh Howard showed his explosive physical fitness in the air, but it was nothing compared to "The Beast" Souter's dunk, and it was even somewhat childish.

After all, Josh Howard is only good in physical fitness, but Suter is completely the pinnacle of violent play!

The commentator Charles Barkley said: "Why doesn't Coach Don Nelson let Josh Howard try to defend the Vulture? His physical fitness is very strong, and his speed is also very fast, even though he is only [-] meters and [-], but I think He can definitely do a better job defensively than Antoine Walker."

Kenny Smith followed up with a smile and said: "I think Coach Don Nelson must have considered this issue, but if you want Josh to match up with the Vulture, it is best to replace Antoine Walker in advance. His moving speed is a bit slow. , The defensive awareness is also very bad, and it is too reluctant for him to defend the vulture."

Before the game, everyone thought that Antoine Walker, who was [-] meters tall, was the most suitable player for the Mavericks to defend Souter.

Dirk Nowitzki's style of play is too soft, Antawn Jamison is too thin, and "Shorty Monster" Danny Fortson is too slow. Judging from the Mavericks' inside configuration this season, Antawn Walker seems to be The perfect pick to defend Suter.

Although the height of [-] meters is slightly shorter than Souter, Walker's upper body strength is very good, at least he can get stuck when defending Souter's air cut.

But no one thought that Antoine Walker, who was entrusted with high hopes by Dallas fans before the game, would be so miserable by Suter. He didn't look like a player of the same level at all. On the contrary, he was a bit of a professional player bullying the street court." half-baked "meaning.

The Eagles attacked. After the pick-and-roll, Suter used Rasheed Wallace's cover to run all the way to the right three-point line. Antoine Walker's pursuit was still a step slower and was thrown away by Suter. visible distance.

As a striker with poor defensive awareness and attitude, what Antoine Walker hates the most is defending against pick-and-rolls. He suffers from height and wingspan. Once blocked by an offensive player, Walker can only squeeze forward to defend.

In the parallel world, Antoine Walker was still able to earn 1500 million annual salary in the 20-[-] season and averaged more than [-] points per game. As a result, he could only get a share in the second season when he joined the Heat The point of the full middle class, in the final analysis, is that Antoine Walker's defensive ability is too bad.

Playing second and third are often targeted in the playoffs. Playing as the core of the offense without a stable output means can lead the team to win. It is this kind of court positioning problem that makes Anto, who has a bad defensive attitude. Wan-Walk is becoming less and less marketable.

Even though Walker has made enough money in his life, Walker had the opportunity to become stronger in the basketball field.

Outside the three-point line, Suter held the ball in both hands, and Antoine Walker, who bypassed the screen, flew up immediately after getting a fake move, and he took off facing Suter, and Suter jumped up when he saw it. , the body collided with Antoine Walker fiercely in the air, and at the same time pushed the ball to the basket with his hands.

"Doo-doo-doo!"

The ball was not scored, but the referee whistled for a foul, and Suter got three free throw opportunities.

When you can make a foul, you must not be polite. If you dodge this kind of ball, it would be too stupid. The referee will blow the whistle 100% of the time.

Even if fans don't like this offensive method, for professional players, as long as it can be converted into points within the allowed range of the rules, it is a wonderful offensive method.

The Eagles stepped forward to give Souter a high-five, while Antoine Walker, who was fouled by Souter on a three-pointer, stood aside and looked dazed, as if he had been knocked out of his soul by Souter.

Suter's offensive style of play is simple and effective. Antoine Walker is not in a hurry to save Suter. , and even began to cast a shadow on Su Te in his heart.

At the free throw line, Suter steadily made three free throws and scored another three-pointer on "Fat Toutuo" Walker, 79:65.

Looking up at the statistics on the laptop, Charles Barkley couldn't help but said: "The Vulture has scored the 36th point in this game, just tying his own career scoring record in a single game."

"Following this rhythm, the Vulture will not only break his personal single-game scoring record tonight, but also very likely to hit a 50-point statistic, becoming the first player since the No. 50 pick in [-], Allen Iverson. The second player in league history to score [-] points in a single game in his rookie season!"

"You know, this is something that even Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan can't do, but as a second-round pick, Vulture has the opportunity to write his legend in the Phillips Arena."

Kenny Smith followed up with a smile: "If Don Nelson doesn't replace Walker, I think the Vulture may score 60 points tonight."

Barkley said: "It can be seen that Walker has focused enough on the defensive end, and he is obviously getting angry, but even so, the Vulture can easily score points on his head."

"Breakthroughs, dunks, mid-range shots, three-pointers, and fouls. I saw the offensive methods of the Condors in this game. Now even I am starting to despair for Antoine Walker. This guy is really lucky. The unlucky child who carried it home."
