I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 170. Terry Porter
The length of playing time is the easiest way to judge a player's strength. A player who can play for a long time without being tired and has not been replaced by the head coach must have something special.

The Eagles need Suter to play to drive the defense of others, and he is the only one on the team who can do this well.

At the end of the timeout, Suter replaced Boris Diaw, who performed poorly in this game. This guy was too scared to make a shot in the face of open opportunities, and his psychological quality was really a bit off.

Although the home fans are dissatisfied with Diao's handling of the ball in these two rounds, people can still understand Diao's abnormal performance.After all, not all rookies can be ready in the first playoffs of their careers, as omnipotent as Suter's animal.

The Eagles attacked, and Smush Parker dribbled the ball across the half to organize.Suter first ran from the left 45 degrees to the right, and then circled out at full speed, using Crawford's pick-and-roll at the tail of the horn to get rid of Van Horn's half position.

From the perspective of the fans, Suter just made a big circle, received a pass from Smush Parker at the left free throw line, faked away Gadzuric who came to defend, and turned half-turned back. CIC shot.

Suter gained a lot of space for his shots through running, and his shots were fast-paced and steady. Van Horn was more than one step slower, and he didn't even have time to complete the stretching action.I can only watch the ball draw a beautiful arc in the air and enter the net in response. "Shua", 34:30.

"Beautiful! The Vulture turned around and scored the ball under the double-team of the Bucks. The degree of difficulty of this ball is still very high. His touch is so hot!" Kenny Smith shouted.

Charles Barkley said: "The vulture ushered in an explosion as soon as he came on the court, and the Bucks must strengthen his defense. Now it is Van Horn defending the vulture on the turn around the field, and Gadzuric moves very slowly. The inside line composed of these two people can't limit the individual performance of the vulture at all."

Gadzuric's lateral movement speed can't keep up with Suter at all, and the Eagles center Crawford is an insider with outside shooting ability, which makes Gadzuric appear cautious when assisting the flanks, and dare not Easily miss your own players.

The Bucks attacked, and what people didn't expect was that Suter was responsible for defending small forward Kukoc after he came on the field, and Stephen Jackson defended Van Horn.

Kukoc's personal performance just now was really outstanding. The Bucks took the opportunity to reduce the score to two points, all thanks to Kukoc's Poseidon-style performance.Jackson dropped the chain at a critical moment, and Suter had to do it himself.

Blevin Knight broke through with the ball, and Crawford switched defenses.Suter defended Kukoc closely in the middle, preventing him from making an easy cut to the basket.

Knight saw that Suter, the "God of Plague", was defending in the middle, so he didn't choose to pass the ball to Kukoc for a strong play, but made a small breakthrough and missed a layup.Crawford protected the backcourt rebound and raised his hand to make a long pass. Suter broke out with amazing speed and instantly got rid of Kukoc and rushed across the half court to catch the ball. The action of dunking the ball hard into the basket. "Bang"! 36:30.

After landing, Suter beat his chest excitedly, and the roar from his mouth was really like a wild beast!
The home fans stood up and applauded when they saw this scene. Only Bucks coach Terry Porter couldn't help frowning, always feeling that something was wrong.The Eagles are best at playing defensive counterattacks, and the combined ages of the Bucks’ two strikers, Kukoc and Van Horn, have already buried half of them in the ground.

The Bucks attacked, and Blevin Knight passed the ball to Van Horn at halftime.

Van Horn singled out Jackson with the ball, but failed to make a breakthrough in a change of direction.He protected the basketball and dribbled a step behind his back on the right side and failed to squeeze away, so he could only pass the ball to Kukoc at the top of the arc.

Kukoc responded from a high position to observe the running positions of his teammates, and did not choose to dribble to break through.Without the pick-and-roll, he can't bring up the speed at all with the ball. Even if he eats Bolt, he can't get past the mountain of Suter in one-on-one.

Kukoc was stunned for a long time, and found that his teammates were in bad positions. In the end, he had to pass the ball to Van Horn, who had relatively good personal ability.

Stephen Jackson followed the defense in time, and posted it as soon as Van Horn received the pass.Van Horn tried to break through but failed to pass Jackson, and was entangled tightly at the free throw line.

At this time, Jackson perfectly demonstrated his excellent dislocation defensive ability.He's strong as a swingman and not easily squeezed out by post players.

Although Van Horn is 100 meters tall, he weighs only [-] kilograms.If he can't pass people face-up, it will be difficult to play, because Van Horn is not good at low post singles.

His back slaps are really back slaps, there isn't a single bit of flesh in the butt position, as flat as it is, and it can't squeeze the defensive players behind him at all.

The continuously deflated Van Horn passed the ball to Gadzuric, who took advantage of the tonnage to single out Crawford, turned around in the penalty area and missed the hook under the interference of the defense.Crawford grabbed the backboard and passed the ball to Parker.

Parker immediately advanced with the ball, and there was a set of obvious dislocations on the court.Souter made a fast break and faced Blevin Knight, who was only 1.7 meters tall.As long as Parker doesn't lose his brain and slow down and fall into the position, it will be difficult for Van Horn to switch defenses here, because he will directly empty the others.

Parker took the ball across half court and quickly lobbed it to Souter.Suter turned around and took the ball in his hands with a light jump. After landing, he took a dribble to pull the ball and turned around. He forced a three-step dunk against Blevin Knight.

Knight, who is 1.7 meters tall and weighs only 78 kilograms, is so topped by Suter, the defensive center of gravity is directly shifted to the right.Knowing that he would not be able to prevent this attack, Knight simply grabbed Suter with both hands, intending to destroy the dunk.

As a result, the power erupting from Suter's body was far beyond Knight's imagination. Even if he pulled the person with both hands at the same time, he failed to hold him, but Suter jumped up and dunked the ball in with one hand.At the same time, the referee whistled and announced that this was a 2+1 goal!
Suter clenched his fists and let out a low growl, and the Eagles fans at home stood up and applauded him.As soon as he came on the court, he helped the team change the situation. Not only did he successfully suppress the Bucks' offensive momentum, but he also made the Bucks experience the fear of being dominated by the beast again.

Standing on the free throw line, Suter and his teammates clapped their hands and made a steady hit with an extra penalty. 39:30.

In the studio, Charles Barkley shouted excitedly: "The Vulture scored seven points in a row to help the Eagles stabilize the situation and return the Bucks to a 7:0 climax. He has already scored 26 points, and the fans at the scene are excited I don’t know how to express my excited personal feelings.”

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The Vulture is in good condition tonight. It seems that there is almost no suspense to score more than 35 points. I just don't know if the Vulture can break his single-game scoring record."

"The Vulture's previous highest score in a single game was 50 points against the Dallas Mavericks in March. Van Horn must not be able to guard him. The physical fitness gap between the two is too great."

This kind of counterpoint, in the future, is basically equivalent to letting Saric defend Antetokounmpo, and the behavior of giving away the head is too obvious.

Bucks coach Terry Porter did not ask for a timeout, but stood on the sidelines and shouted to Jason Caffey: "Boldly flank the vulture when defending, don't worry about Person, as long as he catches the ball, he will go forward and flank the first time." .”

The Eagles just called a timeout not long ago. Terry Porter has already emphasized tactics, and it is difficult to make too much adjustment when calling a timeout.

Jason Caffey is two meters and three meters tall and weighs 116 kilograms. He is considered a heavy striker tank.It is also a helpless move to play in the second position in this game, because the Bucks are injured in the backcourt, old and old, and the available players are really limited.

At his peak, Caffey also averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game.Due to injuries this season, Caffey did not play a game in the regular season. If he can come back in the first round of the playoffs, he will still fight with injuries. The injured knee has not recovered to its best condition.Otherwise, Porter really wanted Caffey to defend against Suter alone.

The Bucks attacked, Kukoc and Gadzuric played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and Suter once again made a close fit, blocking Kukoc's breakthrough route.The difference in speed between the two is too obvious, and Kukoc can't get rid of the defense even with the pick-and-roll.

Gadzuric, who is 2012 in height, is also not fast in air cutting. His current speed is like Bradley, and his starting movements are always half a beat slower than others.There are relatively few fast inside players in the active league, so he can continue to play. After [-], this kind of center will definitely be eliminated, and the defensive end is a black hole that cannot be filled.

The center forward needs to seize the opportunity to make an air cut. Gadzuric has no range and always moves near the penalty area. Crawford does not have to worry about being too far away from the opponent when defending.

Kukoc held the ball on the left side, leaned against Suter twice in the horn position, used the offensive rhythm to turn over and shoot a jumper, and went out of the frame under the defensive interference of the extreme bullet speed.

Kukoc began to be a little afraid of Suter, thinking that this guy was an unreasonable monster.Everyone can see how strong Suter's physical fitness is, but few people know that his golf quotient is also outstanding, and he does not rely solely on his body to play as people expected.

What frustrates Kukoc the most is that this guy seems to know his own offensive methods very well, and can always accurately judge his offensive options.

He saw that Vulture really knew him well enough, and he didn't make any extra moves when defending, as if he had watched hundreds of game videos about him.

The discovery left Kukoc wondering whether he should be happy or sad.The happy thing is that I have received enough attention from my opponent, but the sad thing is that I can't score at all in the face of this guy's defense!
Crawford grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Parker started to advance quickly after receiving the ball.This time Knight ignored Parker and did not force him. He turned around and headed towards Suter.Van Horn also quickly returned to the defense, and when Knight came over, he directly flanked Suter.

Parker has the opportunity to rush to shoot three-pointers, but his offensive efficiency outside the three-point line is really unacceptable, and he is somewhat frightened.The final pass went to Stephen Jackson, who ran off the ball down the other side of the field.

Parker's style of play is a standard street court style of play. He will never rush to shoot a three-pointer if he can break through for a layup, and he will pass to his star teammates if he has no chance.Stephen Jackson did not play singles. He held the ball and observed for a while, always waiting for Suter to get rid of the defense.

This swingman, full of violence in his bones, has a high golf quotient. He knows that the team is now on the rise, and it is better to hand the ball to Souter than to fight alone with others.

Suter ran out of the three-point line with a screen on the right side and received a pass from Stephen Jackson.

Suter took the ball to pose a three-threat, and Van Horn quickly came out to keep up with the defense.Van Horn is generally not close to the body when defending, and keeps a distance from the basket to interfere with shooting by rhythm.Because his lateral movement speed is not fast, his close defense is easy to be passed by the opponent.

His defensive style is not useful to everyone, but it does make Suter, who mainly plays at the basket, uncomfortable.No matter how decisive Suter's three-pointer is, it is not as efficient as an air cut, and it is easy to be interfered with by stepping back and jumping against someone of his height.

However, Suter's offensive methods are very comprehensive. Using Crawford's cover outside the three-point line, Suter started with the ball, took one step to the right and passed Van Horn's defense.Although his dribbling skills are average, he has a terrifying start-up speed and is the fastest first-step inside player in the active league.

After he activated, Kafei slowed down the defense and failed to block the breakthrough route in time.Kafei is too heavy and has not played for a long time. It is impossible to move laterally as flexibly as last season. Suter rushed past him in an instant.

Kafei knew that turning around and chasing him would definitely not catch up, so he didn't try to pull him back.Just after he turned around and took a step, Suter had already entered the penalty area and took off.Gadzuric retreated to the basket to take off to defend, and knocked the ball out of Suter's hand with a fierce pulling foul, preventing Suter from completing the dunk on his head.

Suter's body's core strength is amazing. Relying on the strength of his waist and abdomen to adjust his center of gravity in the air, he slanted his body and landed on the floor firmly with both feet, and was not knocked to the ground by Gadzulic's pulling action.

Suter let out a roar in the air, trying to make the referee think it was a serious foul.As a result, the referee only called a common foul, and did not call Gadzuric for malice.

Charles Barkley said thoughtfully: "This is a very dangerous move. Gadzuric seems to be running towards people. He should be grateful that this is the playoffs, and the vulture's temper is the same as it was a few months ago. Obviously restrained a lot. Otherwise, with the vulture's character of vengeance, the two sides are likely to conflict because of the defensive action of this round."

"But having said that, Vulture's core strength is really strong, and he can still land smoothly after being pulled hard by the opposite center. If it were someone else, he would probably be lying on the ground by now."

Kenny Smith said: "He has a very strong confrontation ability in defense. He even dared to switch to "Shark" O'Neal who was a circle fatter than him in the regular season. , Vulture is definitely a fierce man!"

Charles Barkley laughed: "The vulture's free throws are very solid, and sending him to the free throw line can't stop him from continuing to score. He made two free throws and scored in double figures in this quarter. The vultures have scored in double figures for two consecutive quarters, almost Destroyed the Bucks defense single-handedly."

At 41:30, Terry Porter still did not request a timeout, but made substitution adjustments while taking advantage of the dead ball stage.

Damon Jones, Michael Reid, Mason, and Brian Skinner came on, replacing Brian Knight, Caffey, Van Horn and Gadzuric.Kukoc stayed on the court and continued to play. His performance today was much better than Van Horn.

With Kukoc on the court, Desmond Mason has to step up to the position of power forward to match Souter, otherwise Kukoc's old body can't stand Souter's toss.

Now Terry Porter intends to reduce the height of the field and increase the agility of the team's offense and defense.Strictly guard against Suter and avoid frequent defensive counterattacks by the Eagles.

Terry Porter requires players to help defend at any time on the court, trying to limit Suter's offensive efficiency.If Suter runs to the outside with the help of off-ball screens, the defenders must immediately help defend the past.

It doesn't matter if you can't prevent it, just like Gadzulic fouled hard.It would be best to irritate him and let Suter's personal emotions get out of control.In short, Terry Porter must do everything possible to prevent Suter from dunking, because Suter's tomahawk dunk is too detrimental to morale.

Porter's goal is to limit Suter's scoring and try not to let him play super data in this game.For this reason, he would rather let other Eagles players get easier scoring opportunities.

He has a premonition that if the defense is not stepped up, the Vulture is likely to break his single-game scoring record tonight.No one wants to be the backdrop for Souter's first playoff game in his career.That would forever nail the Bucks and Terry Porter to the pillar of historical infamy.

Porter can accept losing this game and being swept by the Hawks in this round of the series, but Porter cannot accept Suter stepping on his shoulders to the throne.

The game can be lost, but Suter must clamp!
