I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 173 173. Iron Blood Roars!

In the second half of the game, Desmond Mason became a regular matchup with Souter.His defense was good, and Suter's shooting percentage dipped late in the second quarter.

Suter's offense today is hot, and he plans to make persistent efforts in the second half of the game, attacking the Bucks' defense in one breath, and trying to break his record for the highest score in a single game.

In some ways, Suter and his draft template "Rain Man" Kemp are polar opposites.Kemp is an extremely unmotivated player. On the other hand, Suter has great ambitions on the court.

Dare to throw it up endlessly when it feels good in the hand, which is completely different from Camp's character that is so Buddhist that he can no longer be Buddhist.

Maintaining confidence in himself at all times is the reason why he is strong, but once the opponent's defensive end firmly executes double-team tactics against him, Suter will play more uncomfortable.

In this quarter, he was mentally troubled by the Bucks' infinite double-teaming tactics. He made two zero shots from beyond the three-point line, and his mid-range shots on both sides of the free throw line were also substandard.Mike Woodson called a timeout and told him not to take too many long shots, and tried to use the air cut after the pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket.

The outside players of the Bucks are very active in assisting defense, and it is difficult for Suter to easily complete the breakthrough in the positional battle. He was double-teamed and made a mistake. Michael Reid made a fast break and picked the basket with his left hand after a successful steal.

Of course, it is impossible for the Bucks to completely defend against Suter. When the Eagles play a defensive counterattack, it is the performance time of "Souter's five best shots".

In the middle of the third quarter, when Suter was defending and counterattacking, relying on his core strength, he abruptly squeezed away dunk king Mason's two-handed dunk, allowing Mason to serve as the background board for another dunk.Another time, he counterattacked and turned around without slowing down, which caused Van Horn to draw a foul. He forcibly scored two plus one and gave Van Horn his fourth personal foul of the game.

In addition, in the positional battle, Suter also scored a turnaround jumper after being double-teamed by the Bucks.

He played a pick-and-roll with Steve Nash in the middle without the ball. After entering the three-point line to receive the ball, he was pinched by two Bucks players.Facing the Bucks' candy-like defense, Suter did not choose to split the ball this time. Instead, he quickly turned to the baseline to distance himself from the Bucks players, and then used a super-large backlash to push the ball firmly into the basket. basket.

This kind of backward jump shot is not easy for opponents to block shots. Nowitzki often played this way in the season when he led the Mavericks to win the NBA championship. His shooting percentage of 51.7% set a new career high.

Nowitzki averaged only 16.2 shots per game that season, setting a new low for personal shots per game in the past ten years.But even so, Nowitzki still surrendered an average of 23 points per game. The reason is that Nowitzki's golden rooster has been trained independently and has become more and more difficult to defend on the field.

Although Suter's golden rooster is not as smooth as Nowitzki's independent shot, relying on the blessing of equipment and badges, the stability of the mid-range shot is not much worse than Nowitzki.In the final quarter, he was going to use a turnaround jumper to face the difficulties, not giving the Bucks players a chance to double-team and block himself.

苏特打满第三节7投3中，罚球1中1得到7分。他抢了4个篮板球，又送出了两次助攻给到外线。他总共得到43分13篮板8助攻2抢断和3次封盖，距离生涯得分新高只差8分，距离生涯助攻新高同样只差3次。

However, the overall offense of the Eagles in this quarter is not going well, currently 88:81 leading the Bucks by 7 points and entering the final quarter.

雄鹿队发威的是布莱恩-斯金纳，三节砍下24分9篮板2助攻1抢断和1次封盖。他的整体投篮命中率高达64%，罚球5中4 ，只是在中远投方面的表现有些糟糕，4投1中。

When Suter basically put the focus of defense on Michael Reid on the outside, people realized how much the Eagles' penalty area defense relied on Suter.

Rasheed Wallace is about ten kilograms lighter than Brian Skinner. It is difficult to defend Skinner's turn and hook in the low post. The defensive end has been crooked many times. Jinner went to fight the attack.

Rasheed Wallace's shooting rate is also very average under the Bucks' defense system, and he can only use jumpers to solve the problem.

Rasheed Wallace's physical fitness is not bad, but the current level has reached the limit of his career, it is impossible to improve, and it will only decline with age.

It is foreseeable that no matter what kind of team performance the Eagles can play in this year's playoffs, Wallace, who is in a contract year, will definitely be signed by other teams in the free market.

Because it is impossible for the Eagles to offer a huge multi-year contract on such a veteran player.This will not only make the matter of renewing Souter more stressful, but will also completely lock up the Eagles' operating space in the next few years.

The composition of the Eagles management team is different from other teams. As a patchwork team with shares held by multiple people, interests are definitely the first choice for all forces.If the team can't bring them benefits, the existence of the Hawks becomes worthless.

General manager Rick Sander may have the ability to pursue his basketball dream, but unfortunately, he doesn't care about money, and he can only give opinions to the management.

In other words, this season is not only the first collaboration between Souter and Lacie De Wallace, but also the last collaboration between the two.

In contrast, it is not easy for Steve Nash, who is in his 30s, to stay on the team. The management is likely to disagree with Nash because of the contract period.

Suter knew that in the parallel world, Steve Nash's most important thing when choosing a team this summer was the contract period.It's hard to say whether the Phoenix Suns will launch a fierce pursuit of Nash, and once the contract amount given by the Suns is too high, whether the Eagles have the courage to match the contract.

Only Stephen Jackson has the best chance of staying in the entire Eagles.He is young enough and his value is not too high, so the pressure to renew his contract is naturally far less than that of Rasheed Wallace and Nash.

But the specific operation will depend on the means of the management this summer. Right now, what the players have to do is to strive to play well in every game. Only by performing well in the playoffs can they get a more lucrative contract in the summer .

The second best player for the Bucks was Kukoc, the "Dinghaishenzhen". Suter was not able to concentrate in the third quarter because of mentality problems, and Kukoc took the opportunity to score several good goals.He scored eight points in a single quarter, made two three-pointers, grabbed two rebounds and sent three assists.

Although the Eagles have many inside players, only Souter is good at attacking the basket. Rasheed Wallace and Crawford can both open up their shots and basically stay out of the penalty area.

Mike Woodson used the timeout to arrange tactics. "Next, the Bucks should send out twin towers to guard the penalty area. In the last quarter, we should not focus on the penalty area, but focus on mid-range and long-distance. The vulture can hold the ball to single-handedly, and Derek will try to use the cover to find an open space and shoot when he has the opportunity. After double-teaming, pass to the inside and let the inside player make an air cut."

Mike Woodson believes that Derek Anderson's jumper is more sure, and it should be Rasheed Wallace's job to shoot more three-pointers, but Wallace feels average today.And most of the time, they go deep into the mid-range position and turn over jump shots. The tactical layout is not as flexible as Derek Anderson.

Nash's state today was also not very good, with five turnovers in three quarters, which is not Steve Nash's usual level.Stephen Jackson also had four turnovers and Suter three.

Although they didn't allow their opponents to make a few counterattacks, the failure to catch the pass and touch the bottom line hurt morale and reduced the team's offensive opportunities.One turnover may not seem like a big deal, but when they add up, the Hawks miss at least a ten-point lead.

In this case, it is good to let Suter, who is in the best state, play more.It doesn't matter if he plays simpler, the key is to be able to score stably. Although the presence of the Bucks Twin Towers can prevent him from cutting and hooking, the defensive pressure on the perimeter will obviously be reduced.

Bucks head coach Terry Porter saw that Suter's shooting efficiency began to decline in the third quarter, so he planned to send a twin-tower lineup to guard against the penalty area in the last quarter, forcing Suter to take a shot from a farther position to finish.

A basketball game is like a tug of war, and no one knows what will happen until the end.

Terry Porter really sent the twin towers Joe Smith and Brian Skinner, and the other three were Damon Jones, Michael Reed and dunk king Mason.

Van Horn stayed off the court to rest, and Terry Porter asked him to calm down. He felt bad offensively today. He only made 8 of 2 shots from the three-point line, but had 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. to the field.

Joe Smith's offensive ability is not strong, but at least he dares to fight and has no problem with his mentality.After playing with Brian Skinner, the Bucks can better defend the penalty area.

The Bucks attacked, and Joe Smith made an inside pass to Bryce Skinner, who was in a position deep in the penalty area. The ball is scored. 88:83.

The goal was scored cleanly, and the Bucks fans in front of the TV became excited one by one, as if they saw the hope of winning the game.

The Bucks were beaten by the Eagles in the first half without a temper, and even made the fans feel that this was a unilateral massacre.

But as of now, the situation on the court has become uneven. Since the second half, the Bucks have made obvious progress on both offense and defense.Especially the role player Brian Skinner played a very shining night tonight.

There is no doubt that today's game will become one of the important chips for Skinner to test the waters of the free market this summer, and there is no problem in getting a minimum annual salary of 500 million.

The Eagles fans at home are all a little confused now, and very much hope that Suter can stand up and score, leading the team to a double-digit advantage like in the first half.

Everyone loves to watch omnipotent performances. When they see Suter break through 40 points, they want to see him break through 50 points. When they score 50 points, they expect 60 points.In short, as long as it is a star they like, the fans don't seem to feel boring at all.

This is what the Eagles have been lacking in the past few seasons. Few players can score high points.This season finally had Suter, a star with explosive scoring power, fans naturally look forward to the stars and the moon and want to see Suter perform on the court to his heart's content.Nash is far behind in this regard, and his previous career high score was only 39 points.

Suter didn't pick and roll an air cut this round, and received a pass from Nash as soon as halftime passed and dribbled forward by himself.Since Suter's main scoring methods come from off the ball, many fans almost forget that Suter's offensive ability with the ball is also very good.Coupled with the existence of the position badge and the magician, the all-round warrior Suter can adapt to almost any offensive mode.

Rasheed Wallace ran out of the three-point line to play a pick-and-roll with him, and blocked Joe Smith with his body. This was a pick-and-roll cooperation between the inside.

It was said to be blocked, but it had the effect of hitting.Rasheed - Wallace's movement is a bit big, almost did not bump Joe - Smith somersault.

Joe Smith couldn't catch up with Souter when his body was crooked. The confrontation caused him to lose his starting position in this round of the series to Brian Skinner, so he couldn't take on more defensive responsibilities.

In the parallel world, Joe Smith's confrontation ability after gaining weight is actually not bad, but this season, in order to take care of Brian Skinner and Gadzuric, Joe Smith can only lose weight to maintain mobility.It's hard to say whether this is a correct decision or a wrong decision. Anyway, Joe Smith didn't have too serious injuries in his career, and his body has been maintained fairly well.

Suter quickly started a step and moved to the left of the free throw line. Before Skinner could switch defenses, he stopped and shot a jumper. "Shua", the basketball went into the net hollow, 90:83, he scored his 45th point.

With a roar, Suter continued to activate the badge of Iron Will to fill up buffs for his teammates and himself.He doesn't really like to use pull-up jumpers to end the offense, but he will shoot more when necessary, because at this stage of the game, the Bucks will not give him too easy a shot.

He wasn't sure if he could find the sight outside the three-point line. The key was that Mike Woodson told him to take fewer three-pointers.As the saying goes, the onlookers are clear to the authorities. From the perspective of Mike Woodson, his analysis of the situation on the court is obviously more thorough than Suter.

The Bucks attacked, and Joe Smith passed the ball to Brian Skinner for a low single.This is a smart choice for him. Although he does not add assists, he distributes the ball reasonably. Skinner feels overwhelming in this game, and it is no problem to give him more balls.

Skinner performed very tough in this game, and he would not be soft in the slightest when he had a chance to single-handedly. He squeezed away Rasheed Wallace and turned around and made another shot. 90:85.

Rasheed Wallace's height and wingspan stand out as a power forward, but his weight is a problem when he is a guest center, and the penalty area defense is not so good.

In order to ensure that the offensive space is widened, Mike Woodson can only let Rasheed Wallace come to the center.And Wallace's annual salary this season is as high as 1700 million, and it is impossible to put him on the bench with this kind of worth.

The Eagles' offensive routine was the same as before, with Suter receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line and Rasheed Wallace coming out to screen.Suter got rid of Joe Smith and broke through to the left. He stopped and shot a jumper as soon as he entered the three-point line. Brian Skinner was slow to switch defenses again. His weight was destined to not speed up.

This is the weakness of the heavy inside, Brian Skinner's lateral speed is slow.It seems that there is some interference with Suter's shooting. In fact, when he stepped forward to take off, Suter's ball had already been thrown, and he just stretched out his hand to make a gesture, not even a slight interference.

Suter scored another long two-pointer, 92:85.

He clenched his fist with one hand and let out a roar. In this round of the series, he wanted to show the entire American audience what iron blood is!

Coach Terry Porter stood courtside and yelled at Brian Skinner to switch as quickly as possible.If he can't defend in two more rounds, he can only consider substitutions. Even if Skinner's offensive touch in this game is good, Terry Porter must find a way to limit Suter's scoring.

Terry Porter is very troubled by Suter's performance. Whether it is a two-tower lineup or a small lineup, he has a way to break through the defense.Adjusting his offensive area according to the lineup on the Bucks field can be regarded as a model among inside stars.

Terry Porter intends to propose that the Bucks change the lineup in the summer, otherwise the current lineup will have no chance to break out of the first round, let alone re-enter the finals.
