I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 169 169. Reward shot crystal!Team danger!The vultures are back!

Suter averaged 24 points per game this season, but only took 15.8 shots. His offensive efficiency is absolutely frighteningly high.His shooting percentage is as high as 61.2%, which is the highest shooting percentage in the league.

The only flaw is that it is not sharp enough to break double teams, and it is easy to be restricted by the opponent's multi-person defense to limit the scoring efficiency.At the same time, Suter's low-post singles ability is also very average, far less threatening than his air-cut dunks.

The Bucks attacked, and the players looked for opportunities by constantly passing the ball.The Eagles use man-to-man defense, and they will quickly help defend when encountering a pick-and-roll striker. The system is not chaotic at all.

The Eagles strictly guarded the penalty area and forced the Bucks players to shoot from the outside. The Bucks only had one dunk by Desmond Mason in the first quarter, and the Eagles made a mistake, not a strong play in a positional battle.

The attack time is almost running out for 24 seconds, and the Bucks have not been able to find a good offensive opportunity for a long time.In desperation, Michael Reed, who was forced to take over the pot, could only stop and shoot a jumper. Unfortunately, he missed the basket under Anderson's defensive interference.

Michael Reed received too many pot-throwing passes in this game, which also caused Reed's current shooting percentage to be a bit low, and he did not play the style of ranking 11th in the league in personal scoring in the regular season at all.

Looking at it from another angle, Michael Reid's abnormal performance also means that the Eagles' defensive thinking in this game was successfully executed, and Reid did not allow Reid to play an excellent scoring performance.

The Eagles still have the last chance to attack. Last season, the coaching staff didn't know which player to shoot this kind of ball, but this season, Mike Woodson basically handed over this kind of task to Souter.

Regardless of whether Suter is a personal offense or a breakthrough to score the ball, the selection of the key ball is executed by Suter's offense.After all, Suter is not only the eagle's scoring leader, but also the most stable star on the eagle's offensive end.

Mike Woodson has an advantage, that is, he dares to reuse young players.Otherwise, the growth of Suter's rookie season will never be as smooth as it is now, and Josh Davis will also not appear in the 13-man roster for the playoffs.

He coached the Eagles, Suter became a core player from a rookie, and Nash returned to the peak of his career from a downhill career.In a parallel world, he has coached two teams, the Hawks and the Knicks, and both have teams with winning percentages higher than 65%.

And also unearthed the potential of many young players such as Josh Smith, Al Horford, Shumpert and Tim Hardaway Jr.Among them, Shumpert and Tim Hardaway Jr. are not very high draft picks, but they both got a lot of playing time from Mike Woodson.

As a young basketball coach who studied under Larry Brown, Mike Woodson's boldness in employing people is obviously much more enlightened than that old man Larry Brown.

Su Te pressed the time and started to make moves with five seconds left in the first quarter.He often singles out with his teammates in team training games, and he knows how to complete the last shot.

The horns put on a three-threat action. Suter first dribbled the ball from his crotch to his right hand to test, then his right hand gave the ball back to his left hand from behind, and his body leaned to the left quickly after a slight pause.

Joe Smith's body followed to move to the left. In an instant, Suter suddenly turned forward and gave the ball from his left hand to his right. After pulling the ball, he took a step back and made a quick mid-range shot.

He evaded Joe Smith's block a little to the right of the free throw line.Because of the equipment [Nuo Tianwang's Golden Rooster Independent], Suter's shot has a slight recede, and the arc of the ball is very high. In the end, it almost entered the net under the pressure of time. 30:18.

When the ball was scored, the time of this quarter was just about to end, leaving only 0.2 seconds for the Bucks, and even the normal shooting movements were incomplete.It was equivalent to a goal at the buzzer, leaving no chance for the Bucks to counterattack.

Suter, who hit the mid-range shot at the buzzer, yelled at the Bucks players, turned around and raised his arms to accept the cheers of the fans.That look really looks like the basketball god of Phillips Arena.

At the same time, the commentator Charles Barkley shouted: "Beautiful! The Vulture hit the mid-range shot at the buzzer in the first quarter. His personal performance in the first quarter was extremely explosive, and he almost took about 80% of the team's points. Five rebounds and four assists, nothing like a freshman making his first playoff appearance."

Kenny Smith said: "The Vulture shot too confidently. Joe Smith actually defended well. Unfortunately, the Vulture's offensive touch today is too hot, and they can score even against the defender."

"Before the start of the playoffs, no one would have thought that the vultures could adapt to the intensity of the playoffs so quickly, and they looked even crazier than the "Shark" O'Neal next door. If there is a genius in this world, then This title must belong to the vulture!"

The Eagles fans who are watching the game live are very excited, feeling that the Vultures have a great chance of scoring a triple-double in the playoffs today.Became the first player in NBA history to score a triple in the first playoff game.

If a player wants to have super popularity and exposure, besides dunking beautifully, there is another way to break the league's historical record, or score a triple-double in the game.

The triple-double data is the most attractive to fans, and now Suter may have both.

You must know that the difficulty for players to win triple-doubles in this period is far greater than that of the small-ball era when the offensive rounds rose sharply.

Any player who scores a triple-double on the court is bound to be hot news in the basketball world the next day.

Jason Kidd's playing style is not good-looking at all, his offensive elegance is not as good as Nash's, and his passing is not as good as Bai Qiao's.But the main reason why Kidd can have such a high popularity is that he often hits big three-way data on the court.

If it weren't for this, Kidd would not have been selected to the All-Star team nine times in his career and became one of the most popular defenders in the late 90s and early [-]s.

After Suter left the field, he gave high-fives to his teammates to celebrate. After drinking a few sips of water, he began to sit aside in a daze.He called up the system interface and found some changes in his personal attributes.At the end of the first quarter, he heard the system beep.

"Ding~ It was detected that the host performed well in a single quarter in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and he was rewarded with a shooting crystal."

Shooting crystal: After using it, the host can slightly improve shooting skills through shooting during competitions/training. The more shots you make, the faster your ability will improve.Including shooting skills, shooting accuracy, shooting anti-interference ability and other shooting-related skills (duration 7 days).

Seeing the reward issued by the system, Su Te licked his lips excitedly.He won good task rewards just by playing the game, which made Suter more confident about his future.

The scary thing is that he still has a lot of room for growth. Except for dunks, rebounds, speed and jumping, he has not reached A-, and he doesn't even have a B+ attribute.

Su Te's data is very beautiful, but the attributes are extremely ordinary, which he can understand.Because the score given by the system does not compare him with current stars, but also includes those retired basketball stars and stars who have not yet landed in the NBA in the future.

In this era, he has a huge physical advantage, and he can play against most inside players.In addition, there are many outstanding offensive players such as Nash, Rasheed Wallace and Jackson in the Eagles, and the starting lineup is super strong.A large part of Suter's good data is due to the system bonus, which has benefited from the offensive environment.

The opponent's defense always loses sight of the other, and the Eagles' offensive efficiency is very good.Even Stephen Jackson, who has the lowest shooting percentage, has 44.6%.

As long as the teammates around Suter are replaced with ordinary guys, it will be difficult for Suter to carry the team into the playoffs alone.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides put on a rotation lineup.

As usual, the Hawks were led by Stephen Jackson who was replaced in the second half of the first quarter. The two insiders were Diaw and Chris Crawford.

"Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley continues to sit on the bench, his knees and ankles have become somewhat fragile due to multiple injuries.The speed of movement on the court is slow. Facing a mobile team like the Bucks, he will basically not get playing time.

Bradley was used to retreating behind the scenes when he was in the Mavericks, but he didn't seem to be too acclimatized when he arrived in the Eagles.Even though Bradley can only sit on the bench and applaud most of the time, the No. 1993 pick in [-] has no complaints.

The only bad thing is that Dazhugan's salary for the next three years is 400 million, 450 million and 480 million US dollars respectively.Even if the Eagles want to trade him out during the offseason, it will not be easy.

In order to get All-Star point guard Steve Nash from the Mavericks, the Eagles had to swallow Bradley's garbage contract.Originally, the Eagles management felt that the team was good enough to make the playoffs this season, so swallowing a garbage contract is not a big deal.

But as the Eagles show more and more momentum to win the championship, Bradley's current salary undoubtedly seems a bit extravagant.If nothing else, the Eagles will most likely pack the draft picks and send Bradley to other teams during the offseason to free up the team's operating space in the next few years as much as possible.

The Bucks also brought in Toni Kukoc, who also got applause from some Hawks fans.

Kukoc, who is 87 meters tall and weighs 72 kilograms, served as a small forward. He was an important contributor to the Bulls' three consecutive dynasties. He also won the best sixth man in the 10-[-] season, helping the Bulls to [-] wins. The best record in history with [-] losses.

Although due to his age, Kukoc's competitive state this season is not as sharp as it was at his peak, and his average per game has dropped to 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.But in this young Bucks team, Kukoc stands on the bench like a magic needle.

Even in the heart of head coach Terry Porter, Kukoc's team status is second only to star Michael Reed, and he is the Bucks' most reliable player at critical moments.

As the so-called family has an old man, like a treasure, as Terry Porter said before, Kukoc's true role on the court cannot be reflected by statistics.

In terms of others, Van Horn, who was beaten to autism by Suter in the first quarter, returned to the court, and the other three were guards Brevin Knight, Jason Caffey and center Dan Gadzulic.

After Terry Porter adjusted his players' playing time, the Bucks' bench finally looked less shabby.

The Eagles' playoff match against the Bucks was originally just an ordinary series matchup, but so far it has attracted much attention from the outside world. The ratings of ESPN's live broadcast are astonishing, even comparable to last year's Eastern Conference semifinals when the Pistons played the Nets in the tiebreaker.

Although Suter entered the league for a short time, he quickly gained a large number of fans with his wild playing style and violent tomahawk dunks.

In addition, the Eagles have not experienced the taste of the playoffs for many years. Various factors have made the Eagles attract much attention this year, and the degree of attention is no less than that of the defending champion Spurs.

As soon as he saw that he would be facing off against the famous Bulls legend Kukoc next, an extremely cruel smile appeared on Jackson's face.

The punch is afraid of the young, and the stick is afraid of the old wolf. Even though Kukoc's offensive skills are very rich, but his age is there after all. Jackson believes that he has no reason to be beaten by a 35-year-old guy.

The Bucks attacked, and Kukoc and Blevin Knight chose an air cut after playing a pick-and-roll in the middle.Knight scored the ball, and after receiving the ball, Kukoc cleverly avoided Jackson's block by relying on the offensive rhythm, and went three steps slowly to the basket and wiped the board for a layup. 30:20.

Seeing that Kukoc hit himself as soon as he came up, Stephen Jackson's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he was questioning that the script seemed wrong!
His three-step layup looked obviously slow, but Jackson just couldn't find the right opportunity to cut into the block.That feeling was like punching the cotton with a charged punch, which made Jackson feel a little uncomfortable.

On the offensive end, Smush Parker and Crawford have little pick-and-roll threat, one has no range and the other has no breakthrough.Parker tried to break through but failed, and finally had to pass the ball to Stephen Jackson for singles.

Jackson broke through the basket under Kukoc's defense and tried to force a layup with his speed advantage, but was blocked by Gadzuric's help defense at the basket.

Gadzuric, who is 1.4 in height, can send 15 blocks in limited playing time this season, and he is the player with the highest defensive efficiency in the Bucks.If it weren't for the offensive ability to be so broken that he couldn't bear to look directly, Gadzuric's average playing time would not be only a pitiful [-] minutes per game.

The Bucks' offense is again focusing on Kukoc.

This time Kukoc broke into the basket with the ball after the pick-and-roll, attracting the Eagles center Crawford to help defend and pass the ball to Gadzuric at close range. The defensive basket still dunks the ball with one hand. 30:22.

The Eagles' home court was silent, and the fans greeted Kukoc's family one after another, even the fans who applauded Kukoc when he debuted just now were no exception.

Although Kukoc is old, he still played very well, much better than people predicted before the game.

Mike Woodson stood on the sidelines and looked a little depressed, the important defense in the middle was useless.The big center Crawford looked like a blank slate, and he was continuously broken into the penalty area by the 35-year-old Kukoc. I am really sorry for the trust of the coaching staff in him.

The Eagles attacked, and Stephen Jackson singled out Kukoc in the low post on the right, forming a triangle with veterans Person and Diaw.He squeezed Kukoc twice to the baseline and turned around for a jumper, relying on his bouncing advantage to avoid the block and make a steady hit. 32:22.

Stephen Jackson's singles can provide firepower to the bench, but the Bucks' offensive has just begun.

Kukoc played a pick-and-roll with Gadzuric again, and Jackson went around the screen from inside the three-point line to chase.The former saw the opportunity and quickly transferred the ball to Van Horn, who was outside the three-point line on the right. 32:25.

Dior didn't stick too close. Jackson, who saw that the situation was wrong, helped defend in time. Unfortunately, the speed was a little slower.

The Eagles attacked, Stephen Jackson received the ball in the low post, Van Horn suddenly retreated to press and Kukoc double-teamed Jackson.Jackson, who has excellent passing awareness, moved the ball to the outside. Diaw's almost open shot on the right side missed, and Jason Caffey grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Diaw now feels that Suter's advice to him is all right. Three-pointers are too important in the game.

As an inside player, he can protect the frame and organize well at the same time. If he can practice three-pointers well, he can get better shots.Unfortunately, this half-open shot failed to hit.

The Bucks continued to play the pick-and-roll, Kukoc took the ball high to support, Van Horn ran outside under the cover of Gadzuric, Dior was blocked and did not catch up, Kukoc passed the ball with a wide view and immediately sent the ball arrive.

Dior was delayed by the pick-and-roll and failed to defend, and Van Horn made another three-pointer with a catch-and-shoot jumper. "Shua", 32:28.

The Eagles attacked, and Stephen Jackson was double-teamed in singles again, and he still passed the perimeter to Diaw.This time, Diaw was a little scared when faced with an open opportunity, and he didn't take the shot immediately. Instead, when the defensive player returned to his body, he passed the ball to Smush Parker on the right.

In desperation, Parker could only choose to make a strong three-pointer under Blevin Knight's defensive interference.It's a pity that his long-range shooting has not been practiced well, and even in training, his shooting percentage is less than [-]%.

There is no doubt that the Eagles hit the iron again this round.

It's not that Dior lacks ability. It's just a matter of mentality that he doesn't dare to make a move in the face of open opportunities.After all, not everyone dares to continue to make shots like Kobe.

Gadzuric grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the fast break at his speed is definitely not good, but it is still very powerful to grab a rebound.

In the Bucks battle, Kukoc continued to pull out and play pick-and-rolls with his teammates. Blevin Knight broke through with the ball and attracted Jackson to switch defenses, and passed the ball to the middle.Parker also went after the guard, and there was a problem with the tacit understanding between him and Jackson. Kukoc easily made a mid-range shot from the free throw line. 32:30.

In the second quarter, the morale of the Bucks was high, and the cheers on the bench were even higher.They played a wave of 12:2 spurts, and basically every offensive round was related to "Dinghai Shenzhen" Kukoc.

Eagles coach Mike Woodson requested a timeout, knowing that he had to make substitutions and adjustments, otherwise, if the momentum continues, the Bucks may overtake the score in waves.A pause can at least break the morale of the Bucks.

With a look of helplessness on his face, Woodson walked up to Suter and said, "Vulture, you may not have time to rest today. The team needs your defense. Keep an eye on Kukoc and don't let him easily lead his teammates."

Nodding slightly, Suter did not change his mood because of the attack wave from the Bucks: "Don't worry, I know what to do. It is impossible for him to score this kind of score on my head."

At the same time, commentator Charles Barkley said: "Woodson's timeout was called a bit late, and the Eagles' defense obviously had problems. The aging Kukoc showed personal ability in the playoffs than people predicted. All the Bucks scored in the second quarter were related to him, including Van Horn's three-point opportunity, and he also attracted the attention of the defense."

Kenny Smith said: "The Vulture only took a short break before being recovered by the Bucks by a full ten points. It seems that the vulture's playing time in today's game will not be too low, especially in the fourth quarter. He may Will be left on the field directly. Because both offensive and defensive ends, the Eagles can't do without the Vultures."

"The vulture is now Mike Woodson's secret weapon. As long as the vulture is on the court, it can stabilize the morale of the army, whether he has the ball or not."

Charles Barkley said with a smile: "The Eagles' offense has entered a paralysis. There are too many singles on the field and the offense is not smooth enough. If the Vultures don't come back, this game will be wasted."
