I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 168 168. A full-scale stadium beast!
The Bucks fans have a deeper impression of Suter. He is omnipotent on the court, shooting inside and outside like a beast with bugs.

In these few games against the Bucks, Suter was the best player on both teams. He led the team to take the initiative almost from the beginning of the game.

During the timeout, the live big screen played back these wonderful violent dunks by Suter.Bucks players have not dunked once, the morale of the Eagles has completely overwhelmed the Bucks, Terry Porter thought he had to make adjustments.

Charles Barkley said: "The Vultures have scored 20 of the team's 16 points since the start, including two catch-and-shoot three-pointers. He looks very easy to score, one meter from the three-point line. Dare to shoot from a far position.”

Kenny Smith analyzed and said: "I think he deliberately shot from a farther position, so that the Bucks couldn't react to his offense at all, and didn't know how to defend the vultures."

"Van Horn's athletic ability is slightly off. Facing the vulture who can shoot suddenly, he doesn't dare to get close. That's why the vulture plays so easily on the offensive end. He can send the ball to the basket in different ways every round .”

Charles Barkley praised: "The vulture is a threat just standing there on the court. He doesn't need the ball in his hand to play a good tactical role. He will use his explosive power to cut to the basket. So fast that Van Horn couldn't keep up with him at all. When the ball was in his hands, the Vulture could still break through or shoot with the ball, and the key offensive efficiency was frighteningly high."

Kenny Smith said: "I have never seen a slam dunk player play like him before. Whether it is a breakthrough or a three-pointer, he is very threatening. He is not like a space-type insider, because of his speed. Faster, tougher. A beast with a [-]-point shot."

Charles Barkley nodded and said: "Terry Porter will definitely replace Van Horn. Not only can he not prevent the vultures from scoring, but he also has no performance on the offensive end. For the Bucks, this is no less than a disaster. "

Sure enough, after the timeout ended, the Bucks made a substitution. Van Horn took a rest and replaced him with Joe Smith, who was more mobile and better defensively.

Joe Smith is a black insider with a height of 102 meters and a weight of 1995 kilograms. He was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the first pick in the first round in [-]. He can play both positions of power forward and center.

In the regular season this year, Joe Smith averaged 11 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Although his offensive ability is not as good as Van Horn's old thief, his defensive ability is obviously much better.

Terry Porter no longer cares about whether the offensive space will be crowded when Joe Smith and Skinner are on the court together.Suter's performance at this point is too explosive. If the Bucks cannot limit Suter's offensive efficiency, today's game will undoubtedly lose.

The Hawks also made substitutions. Stephen Jackson was off the court to rest, and Josh Davis came out to face up against Mason, the dunk king who had exploded in physical fitness.This is Mike Woodson's regular substitution method, allowing Jackson to return to the field in the second quarter to bring a substitute.

Originally, the person who replaced Stephen Jackson at this time should be the veteran Person who has a superb three-pointer, or the Frenchman Dior who is the "bankrupt magician".

However, the Bucks' player at the small forward position is Mason with the most physical fitness. Dior and Person must not be able to defend against Mason's offense.So Mike Woodson simply replaced Josh Davis, a young striker who didn't play much in the regular season but was very defensive.

Anyway, Suter's offense in the first quarter was hot. More than 80% of the Hawks' points came from Suter. Josh Davis only needs to take care of his own defense, but he really doesn't need to do anything on the offensive end.

Eagles fans saw that Woodson was replaced by Josh Davis, who didn't play much on weekdays, and many people started discussing with worried faces.I am afraid that the appearance of Josh Davis will affect the rhythm of the Eagles' game, which will cause the team's hard-won lead to be tied by the Bucks.

Compared with the worries in the hearts of the fans, the two commentators are well aware.At this time, the Eagles will definitely not let veteran Personn play. On the defensive end, Personn's three-pointers have no effect.

Instead of pursuing offense when the star star Suter feels hot and the team is leading by a large score, it is better to steadily deploy a player with excellent defensive ability, and then fine-tune the details depending on the situation.

If Person or Diaw is on, should they be allowed to defend Mason, who can fly and dunk well?There is no suspense between these two facing Mason, just like giving away the head.It's better to wait for Mason to leave the field before letting him appear in the game, maybe he can still play beautiful personal data.

The game continued, the Bucks went first.

Damon Jones and Brian Skinner hit the pick-and-roll in the middle, and the new Joe Smith set a screen for dunk king Mason on the side.After Jones attracted Wallace to switch defenses, he gave the ball to Mason who was under the 50-degree cut basket.

Mason wanted to dunk after catching the ball and hit the basket. He didn't pay attention to Suter who was supplementing the defense at all, and he got a clean head-on cap.Suter will be at a disadvantage against a powerful insider like Brand, but he is very fast, and he is good at outside players who help defend and block breakthroughs.

After landing, Mason supported the floor with his hands, and then complained to the referee with a dissatisfied face, trying to win a chance for foul free throws.It's a pity that the ball was defended very cleanly, and it was blocked right under the referee's nose, and it was useless to spread his hands.Sometimes, it's useless for the stars to spread their hands.

Just as Mason spread his hands to the referee, Suter picked up the basketball and launched a fast break for Nash.Nash advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Suter. Suter, who hit the basket, also attracted Joe Smith and Michael Reid to supplement the defense.Without stopping, Suter used unpretentious movements to distribute the ball to Josh Davis who followed up on the other side.

Josh Davis, who is 22 meters tall, was unguarded in front of him. When he rushed into the Bucks penalty area, it was a powerful dunk with both hands. "Bang"! 11:[-].

Josh Davis is 107 meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. He was the undrafted pick in last year's draft. Except for his good physical fitness, Davis's other abilities are all in a mess.

The reason why the Eagles will provide Davis with a contract is that Josh Davis is cheap enough, apart from the fact that there is a shortage of strikers.The salary this season is only a pitiful $13, which is not as good as Michael Jordan's meal.

However, Josh Davis is not useless. With his fierce defensive style, Davis has successfully won the approval of head coach Mike Woodson.After this dunk, Davis couldn't help roaring excitedly, and looked gratefully at Suter when he returned to defense, as if thanking Suter for passing the ball in the fast break counterattack to help him dunk.

Charles Barkley exclaimed: "This ball hurts morale a bit. The Bucks just called a timeout. The Eagles made a defensive counterattack when the tactics failed. Even the team's best dunker was blocked by the Vultures. Come down, this is simply naked murder."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "During the counterattack, the Vulture did not rush up to make a dunk, which is already giving the Bucks a lot of face. If two players from the Bucks dunk the ball into the basket, then this game will not be repeated. It is necessary to fight down."

Terry Porter, with dark skin and shiny brain, stood on the sidelines and shook his head slightly, his expression full of helplessness like a gnat in his throat.

He regretted not substituting Mason just now.The player dislocation tactic was played out, but it was definitely not a good choice to face Suter forcibly dunking.

Mason is now a little crazy being stimulated by Suter, and he can no longer keep calm on the court. This state is easy to get emotional, such as trying to block Suter on the offensive end!
The Bucks attacked, Damon Jones and Joe Smith played a pick-and-roll, broke through and passed the ball to Michael Reed, who then passed the dunk king Mason.This time, Mason's feet exploded with a more terrifying speed. The referee called Josh Davis for a defensive foul under the physical confrontation. Mason threw the ball high towards the basket and forced a wonderful 2+1 goal. "Shua", 22:13.

After scoring the goal, Mason excitedly yelled at Josh Davis, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances that had just been blocked by Souter.

In terms of physical fitness, even if Mason won the NBA slam dunk title, he would not be Suter's opponent, but facing Josh Davis' defense, Mason still played very strongly. Saved some face.

At the free throw line, Mason hit the free throw steadily, and the two plus one were successful, "shua", 22:14.

In the Eagles battle, Suter ran to the three-point line to receive the ball, and the new Joe Smith came out.Suter didn't stop taking the ball, and immediately took a step to the right to pull the ball up, and at the same time attracted the defense of Joe Smith and Michael Reed.

Suter will encounter opponents' pincers in every game, and he already has rich experience in handling the ball.Don't stop, use the fastest speed to observe the position of teammates, as long as the opponent has a certain distance from him, it is difficult to block the passing route, and can only force Suter to pass the ball to other teammates.

After attracting the opponent's outside players to help defend, Suter can easily get assists and score opportunities.Derek Anderson did not stand outside the three-point line to wait for the ball this time, but ran reversely along Michael Reid's position to the left at a 45-degree angle and hit the board. "Shua", 24:14.

If Derek Anderson doesn't stop outside the three-point line, it will be difficult for the Bucks to analyze the Hawks' next offensive line.This is Anderson's strength. He is not only able to shoot three-pointers from the outside. In many cases, Derek Anderson's other offensive methods are also very sure.

Charles Barkley looked at the technical statistics in front of him and said: "Vulture's performance tonight is very comprehensive. This is already his fourth assist in this game. His assists today may set a new career high. He had the highest assist in a single game before. 10 against the Detroit Pistons."

"In the history of the NBA, there has never been a rookie player who can win a triple-double in the first playoff game. If the Vultures hand over the data of the big triple tonight, it will become a unique existence in the history of the league."

Kenny Smith laughed: "I have a premonition that the Vulture will create big news tonight. The Bucks are afraid that the Eagles will play like this. If the Vulture can attract double-teams and help defend the ball, the other three Bucks will be It's hard to limit the Hawks offense. Nash hasn't played much today, otherwise the life of the Bucks will only become more difficult."

Since Suter's touch was too hot tonight, Nash started to play soy sauce on the offensive end.In addition to pushing the defensive counterattack after getting the ball, the most Nash has done is to play pick-and-rolls with Suter in the high post, and then pass the ball to teammates who have the opportunity.As for personal offense, Nash really hasn't played much tonight.

The dunk king Mason broke through with the ball and was double-teamed to the perimeter in the low post. Michael Reed caught the ball and made a three-pointer, and went out of the frame under the interference of Anderson's defense.

Joe Smith jammed his way around the paint trying to get the offensive rebound off Souter.As a result, the offensive rebound was not grabbed in the end, and Smith lost Suter.

Rasheed Wallace took the ball and passed it to Nash, forming a three-on-two opportunity in the frontcourt.

Instead of passing the ball to Souter as usual, Nash stopped outside the right three-point line to snatch a three-pointer. As a result, he shot with a slight interference from Damon Jones.Suter rushed in front and no one could keep up with his speed. He grabbed the offensive rebound and directly dunked with both hands. At the same time, he also caused a defensive foul by Damon Jones behind him. "Bang"! 26:14.

Suter missed a free throw and the rebound was picked off by Joe Smith.

Coach Terry Porter took advantage of the dead ball to make lineup adjustments. The small point guard Brevin Knight, who was only 1.7 meters tall, replaced Damon Jones, who performed poorly.

Blevin Knight is 1.7 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms. After two consecutive transactions this season, he was sent to the Wizards by the Suns and finally to the Bucks.Averaging 5.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, he is considered a qualified backup point guard.

At his peak, Blevin Knight averaged 12 points, 9 assists and 1.7 steals per game.It's a pity that with only [-] meters tall and a thin body, Knight has undoubtedly become a defensive colander.

Thomas Jr., who is as strong as the strongest on the surface at 1.7 meters [-], can't solve the defensive problem, let alone Knight who is not as heavy as Isaiah Thomas.

Blevin Knight is a player who refuses to admit defeat. Even if he is often blown up by opponents on the field, he still dares to challenge Nash in this game.

He played a pick-and-roll with Brian Skinner in the middle, and failed to get rid of Nash after a forced breakthrough.Smoothly distributed the ball to the middle, Skinner used his body to squeeze half of Rasheed Wallace away after a feint, turned around not far from the basket and hit a hook, 26:16.

Being assisted by a teammate who was more than ten centimeters shorter than himself, Nash immediately wanted to return one. After hitting the pick-and-roll, he went to the left to break through. As a result, he made an emergency stop at the mid-range position and missed a jumper. The rebound was missed by Desmond- Mason protected it.

Although the goal was not scored, Nash seemed to make the shot very easily, but his touch and luck were a little bit worse.

In fact, Terry Porter also wants the Bucks to play more simply. However, the Bucks always maintain two organization points on the field, but the offense is still not smooth enough, and it is difficult for players to run out of open spaces with too many opportunities.

Terry Porter is very aware of the team's shortcomings, even if the dunk king Mason is often emotional, he would not dare to switch him off the court rashly, because the team needs him to use his impact to tear up the enemy's defense.

The biggest problem for the Bucks is that there are no top stars, and the personal abilities of the players cannot reach the super giant level, so they will not go far in the playoffs.

The championship team will take the initiative to hand over the ball to the star when the offense is not going well. Others are relatively easy on the offensive end, and only need to save their energy to go back to the defensive end to fight hard.

Even the Eagles this season are the same. If the offensive end is too late to start the game, they will pass the ball to Suter, allowing Suter to use his personal ability to drive other players to score.

The Lakers did this way when they won three consecutive championships, and so did the Bulls who won six championships. However, the Bucks players need to consume a lot of energy when attacking, and they may not be able to run a good offensive opportunity in the end.

With 24 seconds running out, the Bucks players failed to create a good offensive environment by running and passing the ball.Michael Reid caught the ball and missed a jumper, and Suter overwhelmed the Bucks Twin Towers to grab a defensive rebound.

Nash quickly pushed forward to launch a counterattack. As a result, he made a mistake in a large-scale long pass, and was successfully intercepted by the ingenious Blevin Knight in a gambling style.

Suter almost reached the opponent's three-point line in one breath, and it was obviously too late to return to defense at this time.I can only watch as Knight attracts a supplementary defense and then distributes the ball to Mason, who directly kills the windmill in the penalty area and succeeds in dunking. 26:18.

Coach Mike Woodson stood on the sidelines and shouted at Nash: "Be steady, the Bucks are very mobile, don't be overwhelmed by confidence."

Nash's turnover-to-assist ratio this season is actually very low, but today Nash did have a lot of turnovers. Several passes seemed too casual and were easily destroyed by the Bucks.

No matter how fast Suter runs, he can't relax when he passes the ball. The chance of a wide-range long pass is very good, but the chance of a successful steal by the defender is also very high.

Nash slowed down the rhythm and landed a positional battle, guarding the basketball and waiting for Suter to come up and pick and roll with himself in a high position.Nash's pick-and-roll tactics have been tried and tested, because Suter alone can attract most of the opponent's defensive attention, and cooperate with Rasheed Wallace to short the opponent's penalty area.

After the pick-and-roll, Suter immediately slid down to the Bucks penalty area. It was not until Mason began to help defend here that Suter returned the ball to Nash.

Whenever this kind of offensive opportunity with a chance to kill the basket is in front of him but he can't break through, Suter will feel that his offensive ability is not strong enough.Even though Souter has rarely made mistakes when facing double-teams, his ability to break double-teams obviously needs to be improved, and he can't do one-on-three shots like Kobe.

He has thought about the main content that he needs to improve next, which is the personal strong play in the double-team state, instead of being forced to pass the ball to his teammates.Only in this way, Suter can do better in the critical moment of the playoffs.

When Desmond Mason returned to his defensive position, Nash lobbed the ball to Souter again, and at the same time he started to move to the other side to make room for Souter.

Facing the basket with the ball and posing in a three-threat pose, Suter chose to single out Joe Smith again.

After two consecutive tentative steps, Suter accelerated and broke through from the right side. During the march, he dribbled the ball from his right hand to his left hand. A small change of direction successfully shook Joe Smith's defensive center of gravity.Holding the ball to the left 45 degrees, Suter avoided Brian Skinner's help defense half a step outside the penalty area, turned around and hooked the ball at close range. "Shua", 28:18.
