I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 177 177. Sweep to advance!Why does it always feel like this guy is swearing? ? (6K for subscription)
After the second game of the series, Suter finally gathered 1 rage points and raised his strength attribute to B+.

In these two games, he played an extremely dazzling personal performance, leading the team to overthrow the Bucks' defensive formation.

The Eagles currently have a 2:0 lead over their opponents. According to the current situation in this round of the series, the Eagles are likely to sweep the Bucks 4:0 and send their opponents home early for fishing.

Bucks star Michael Reed struggled in this round of the series. Facing the Hawks' endless double-teams, Reed had to choose the off-ball end to use the screen to catch the ball and quickly release the attack.

This also caused the Bucks to have the ball in the hands of point guard Damon Jones most of the time. Michael Reed and Van Horn, the two players with the highest average points per game, can only play off the ball. Eagle forced his arm to twist his thigh.

On April 4, the third game of the series between the two sides was played at the Bradley Center Arena, home of the Bucks.This game is the first time the Bucks have returned to home games, but the scene is still one-sided, and the gap in strength cannot be made up by the home whistle.

Coach Terry Porter put Joe Smith back in the starting lineup this time to defend Souter.Although Joe Smith was also educated miserably when facing Souter, his defensive efficiency is much better than Van Horn, who is strong offensively and weak defensively.

As a result, Sutera went out to play pick-and-rolls with Nash, giving up the space to frequently create breakthrough opportunities for Nash, or Stephen Jackson simply cut the attack from the side and used Suter's offense to directly kill the Bucks penalty area.

It is not difficult for Suter to cut to the basket after the pick-and-roll to attract two people to defend. You only need to pass the ball outside when the Bucks double-team, and you can get good assist data.

Now that the Bucks put all their defensive focus on themselves, Suter simply turned into the Atlanta commander, and with the offensive bonus of the badge "Magician", he played an atypical game.And also found a balance between assists and breakthroughs, at least frequently sending breakthrough goals.

The Bucks once allowed Marcus Hislip, a second-year rookie with a height of 104 meters, a weight of [-] kilograms, and a relatively flexible lateral movement speed, to defend Suter.As a result, this guy became the most unlucky background board tonight, and was dunked three times by Suter in a single quarter.

"Slam Dunk King" Mason can only foul Souter as the main defense, otherwise it will be a dunk after being blocked.Mason's ability to resist people in the penalty area is not bad. As a physically strong small forward, his core strength is still very strong.It's a pity that Mason's height is a flaw, and he is at a disadvantage defending Suter. His teammates can only stare and get beaten if they don't help defend!

Mason, who claims to be able to defend from the [-]st to the [-]th position, doesn't want to defend Souter at all, because it will show that he is not tough enough and destroy the tough guy image he has built so hard.

However, Suter didn't show any mercy when facing Mason. When he received a pass from the low post, he turned around and dunked, making it too late for Mason to make a foul.

In the second half, Stephen Jackson was hot and dominated the game with 17 points in a single quarter.Mason is in charge of defending Souter, Van Horn can't defend, and veteran Kukoc can't defend.It was an opportunity for Jackson to distribute the ball after attracting double-teams. Derek Anderson and Nash on the perimeter also threw a series of three-pointers, which directly broke the Bucks' defensive system.

The Eagles scored 43 points in this quarter, and the difference between the two sides widened to 26 points to enter the garbage time. The main players clocked out of get off work again in three quarters.

It's always good to save some face for the opponent in other people's home courts. Jackson was afraid that the Bucks players would foul badly in a hurry, and in the end he began to restrain his offensive shots.In fact, he was overthinking. Ever since the Milwaukee Three Musketeers disbanded, the Bucks have long been used to being slaughtered. Their mission is to make it to the playoffs. As for whether they can break through the first round, it all depends on luck.

The Hawks can be said to have a lot of points tonight. The star won a big score of 136:102 by playing casually, becoming the first team in the playoffs to win a series match point.

How much the Bucks hope that the first round of the playoffs is still a 3-win elimination system. They don't want to play the fourth game at all.That kind of feeling is nothing but shame, and even at home games, I have basically never heard the cheers of my own fans.

It's a pity that even if the Bucks players are unwilling and decadent in their hearts, they must persist in one more game before being sent home for fishing by the Eagles.

The most painful thing in the world is knowing that you will be hanged and beaten, but you still have to bite the bullet and choose to be strong.

After three games in the playoffs, Bucks star Michael Reid received far less evaluation than Suter.Both of them were targeted by the opponent. As long as they catch the ball, two players will definitely come forward to pinch, but the individual performances they handed over in the end are so different that they are not worthy of being compared together.

Fans can't find a reason to say that Michael Reid is in poor condition, because he has played 82 regular season games this season without suffering any injuries, and his body looks healthier than the Bucks' team doctor.

Souter has absolute dominance in the interior. There is almost a ten-fold difference in annual salary between the two. Take the least money and do the hardest thing. No wonder Eagles fans love Souter so much.

After a day's rest, the eagle won the last victory of the first round of the series at the stag's home court, sweeping the stag with a big score of 4:0 and successfully advancing to the semifinals.

整轮系列赛, 老鹰球星苏特场均可以砍下31.7分12篮板6.5助攻2抢断和2.5次封盖，其中投篮命中率高达61.2%, 罚球命中率为81.3%, 就连三分球命中率都稳定在了35.4%。

This is the personal data handed over after the Hawks clocked out all three quarters in the last three games of the series. Otherwise, Suter's personal data in this round of the series will only be more luxurious.

After resting for five days, the Eagles waited until their opponent broke through in the second round.What the outside world didn't expect was that there was an upset in the first round of the playoffs. Another team that advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals was not the Nets, the second-ranked Eastern Conference team, but the "Thousand Wins Coach" Lanny Wayne. The New York Knicks led by Erkins.

This result was definitely something no one expected before the start of the playoffs.Even if the New Jersey Nets can take the second place in the East thanks to the division championship, there is a lot of water in it, and they have eaten the bonus of the league rules.

But no matter how you say it, the Nets' record in the regular season is eight more wins than the New York Knicks, and in the three matches between the two sides, the Nets also lead with a record of two wins and one loss.

But in the end, the new york knicks beat the nets 4:2 in the first round of the series and became the only team among the 16 teams that entered the playoffs this season.

Although there are still some teams whose first-round series has not been completed, judging from the current situation, it is difficult for other teams to be upset except for the New York Knicks.Either the big score is 3:1 holding the match point, or the opponent is swept out 4:0. Only the Knicks have become a clean stream this season and ushered in their own script in the playoffs.

When he heard the news, even Suter was a little surprised. Originally, Suter was ready to face Kenyon Martin in the semifinals, but the Knicks changed the script halfway and forcibly formed the Eastern Conference semifinals of the Eagles. opponent in the final.

After being dazed, Suter analyzed the Knicks' current configuration and was no longer so surprised, because the current Knicks really can't use the regular season record to judge its strength.

The Knicks have changed three head coaches this season. The combined record of the first two coaches is 15 wins and 25 losses. The coaching winning percentage is simply horrible.It wasn't until the middle of the season that the Knicks hired "Thousand Wins Coach" Lenny Wilkens as the Knicks' coach.

It was Wilkens' appointment that helped the Knicks, who were third from last in the Eastern Conference at the time, enter the playoffs as seventh in the Western Conference.And the management is also very heroic to get the league's top point guard Stephen Marbury from the Suns through a transaction, and "CIC King" Alan Houston formed a powerful backcourt double gun.

In addition, the Knicks also have "African Mountain" Dikambe Mutombo this season.It is not so surprising that the Knicks with such a lineup can beat the Nets in the playoffs.

It's just that one of the two teams is ranked second and the other is ranked seventh. If the following things happen, it will always cause a commotion.

It's hard to say which team is stronger, the Nets ranked second in the Eastern Conference, or the Knicks ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.After trading to Stephen Marbury, the Knicks also have a top guard configuration, which is not inferior to any team in the league.

Judging from the results, the Knicks are clearly the last laugh winner.In addition to the unrivaled influence of Coordinate New York itself, the gimmick of the next gram also allowed the Knicks to search for a wave of traffic.

League president David Stern would certainly like to see this happen, maybe he is hiding in a corner and laughing secretly now.

The revenue that the New York Knicks can create for the league is far greater than that of the Nets. With one more round of series competition, the league can earn at least tens of millions of dollars more in revenue.

Thanks to the fact that the two sides did not reach the tiebreaker in this round of the series, the Knicks sent the Nets home to fish in only six games.

Souter is now worried about the team instead, not because the Hawks will be defeated by the Knicks like the Nets, but whether the league will intervene for profit.Even if the degree of intervention is not enough to affect the outcome of the series, the five-on-eight situation on the field will always make people feel sick.

Silently made up his mind, Suter could not let the Knicks drag this round of the series into the tiebreaker no matter what, otherwise once the two sides entered the final anxious stage, the Hawks would definitely suffer.

On the other hand, the Pacers swept the Boston Celtics 4-0 early and are waiting for the winner between the Pistons and Heat to meet in the semifinals.

At present, the two teams of the Pistons and the Heat have a big score of 3:3. The two sides will have a showdown in tomorrow's tiebreaker to determine which team will be in the semifinals with the Indiana Pacers meet here.

The Los Angeles Lakers in the West eliminated the Rockets 4:1 in the first round, the Timberwolves 4:1 the Nuggets, the Kings 4:1 the Mavericks, and the Spurs 4:0 the Grizzlies.All four series were crushed, and the top four teams in the Western Conference advanced smoothly without any surprises.

其中联盟No.1“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔表现得十分神勇，首轮系列赛出战四场，场均可以轰出27分14篮板3助攻1抢断和3次封盖。高达60.8%的投篮命中率仅次于苏特，排名季后赛所有场均出场时间高于12分钟球员里的第二位。

However, Lakers star Karl Malone missed the last two games in the first round series due to a recurrence of shoulder injury.And the team doctor did not disclose the time of Malone's comeback to the public, which undoubtedly affected the Lakers' championship prospects this season.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers will meet the Spurs led by Tim Duncan. If the "tough guy" Karl Malone can't usher in a comeback in this round of the series, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Lakers.

Fortunately, these difficult teams are all gathered in the West. No matter which team breaks out in the end, it will definitely be a bloody battle.The Eagles only need to deal with their own affairs in front of them. As for whether they can meet the Western Conference team in this year's finals, it depends on the Eagles' next performance.

On May 5th, the Eagles sit at home and ushered in the New York Knicks challenge. The two sides will start the first contest of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Phillips Arena.

Before the game, the focus of the league's publicity was "The Rim Terminator" Souter vs. "African Mountain" Mutombo.

Mutombo was the fourth pick in the 1991 draft and has been the starting center for the New York Knicks this season.In the six games against the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, he averaged 8.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was 55.6%, which was much better than the regular season.

Looking at personal data, Mutombo is not qualified to be compared with Suter at all, but as one of the most shot-blocking inside players in NBA history, fans still want to see Mutombo, who is known as the "African Mountain". Will Bo be able to withstand Suter's beastly impact?

The No. [-] position is also a contest between stars. The Knicks' starting point guard is the famous "Lone Wolf" Marbury.

Marbury is a player that the head coach loves and hates. Before joining the Knicks, he played about 40 games for the Suns, averaging 21 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

After joining the Knicks, Marbury's scoring data has not changed much, but his assist data has risen from 8.3 times per game to 9.4 times.Because the Knicks have more players who can score, after Marbury entered the penalty area, he attracted the defense to distribute the ball outward, and it was easy to get assist data.

Nicknamed "Lone Wolf", he is known for his ability to hit key shots and dare to fight hard.In terms of defense, although he is not that good, his defensive efficiency this season can also reach the average level of the first position.

Marbury's main task in the Suns was scoring. After joining the Knicks, Alan Houston and Tim Thomas shared the offensive pressure for him. He began to focus more on organizing passes, averaging nearly 10 points per game. The number of assists is not much less than that of "Assist King" Nash.

In the evening, players from both teams entered the field on time.

The Atlanta local station broadcasts every game of the Eagles, and the commentator Mark Anderson first introduced the personal situation of the players on both sides.

Mark Anderson said: "The Vulture led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals in his rookie season. This is definitely a remarkable achievement. How to defend him today should be a headache for Knicks coach Wilkens question."

"Although Mutombo's ability to protect the frame is good enough, the vultures are not just an offensive means of hitting the basket. The reason why the Bucks will be swept in the first round of the playoffs is that they can't find a way to limit the vultures. I Think the Knicks have to work on the tactics if they want to win."

Partner Tom Horvath laughed: "I think the Vulture will definitely take more shots in this game, and there is no reason for Mike Woodson not to use him as the core of his tactics. The Knicks are also playing a twin-tower lineup this season. The mobility of an inside player is definitely not as good as the Eagles. The Condors can always deliver good individual performances when facing the Twin Towers lineup."

Mark Anderson said: "It is worth mentioning that the current head coach of the Knicks, Lenny Wilkens, is one of the meritorious coaches in the history of the Eagles. Wilkens led the team to meet his old club in the playoffs for the first time. I don’t know if the Knicks coaching staff headed by Wilkens can find a way to limit the Hawks’ offense.”

Mike Woodson did arrange Suter's main attack in the first quarter. He was in good shape during the warm-up training. In addition to the windmill dunk, he also hit a few shots from beyond the three-point line.Facing the configuration of the Knicks' main twin-tower lineup this season, Suter and Rasheed Wallace can both take advantage of their speed and range.

The starting centers of both sides walked to the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball.

Eagles Five: Nash, Derek Anderson, Stephen Jackson, Souter, Rasheed Wallace.

Five Knicks: Marbury, Alan Houston, Shandon Anderson, Kurt Thomas, and "African Mountain" Mutombo.

Coach Wilkens did not send "Tim Thomas" who has a stronger offensive ability and averaged 16 points per game in the regular season as the starting fourth position. Instead, he used "Kurt Thomas" who is more defensive. Counterpoint Suter.

This adjustment is quite targeted, because Kurt Thomas is a veteran with 9 years of NBA experience and is known for his high-level defense in the league.And with the team in 1999 to create a black eight miracle, reached the finals in one fell swoop.

Kurt Thomas is 206cm tall and weighs 104kg. He was selected by the Miami Heat with the 1995th pick in the first round in 97, and then joined the Knicks in the 98-[-] season and has been playing ever since.He's a defensive specialist with a good sense for the rebounds.

Nicknamed "Crazy Eyes" and "Dirty Cotter", Thomas is not talented, but with his strong low defense and mad dog-like bite, he quickly gained a foothold in the league.

Thomas' physical fitness is far inferior to the league's top insiders, but his defensive accomplishments are far beyond the current general insiders.Thomas can fight one-on-one against most big players in the league, and he is a role model for other inside players in terms of defensive awareness.

On the offensive end, Thomas' scoring methods are relatively simple, generally focusing on mid-range jumpers, but his mid-range and long-range effective killing range can be expanded to about 18 feet.

After completing a high pick-and-roll with a defender, Thomas often does not go directly to the basket like ordinary big men. Instead, he chooses to take a step back, receives a pass from the defender and shoots a jumper one meter away from the three-point line.This is the so-called pick-and-pop.

To a certain extent, Thomas can evacuate the basket to a greater extent, providing support for the small players on the periphery to pass back after penetrating and breaking through.As long as the guards can attract opponents' paint defenses, Thomas' mid-range shooting will be a nightmare for opponents.

Kurt Thomas is a very proud player. In the parallel world, he had an irreconcilable conflict with the team boss Stephen Marbury, and then turned around and asked the management to renew a three-year, $4000 million contract.Later, it even threatened that the Knicks management had to choose between him and Marbury.

Souter still doesn't understand who gave this guy courage, making him feel that he is even more important than Stephen Marbury, who the team just paid a big price for.

The final result is obvious. Thomas was sent to the Phoenix Suns in a trade, standing alone on the streets of Phoenix with a messy mood.

On the court, Thomas said deliberately provocatively when passing by Souter: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you won the best rookie this season and are loved by the fans. I will not let you continue to be arrogant."

"Do you think you can conquer the away fans just because of the forehead lines on your forehead that can kill flies?" Su Te was not angry, and turned his head with a smile on his face.

"..."

Kurt Thomas was directly stunned speechless.

He does look a little older, and the forehead lines on his forehead can really trap flies.Obviously only 31 years old, but looks like 51 years old.I don't know what made him look young and mature.

If you are playing on the same court as "The Great" Greg Oden, you will definitely be a brother of the Tigers, father and son in battle!
Kurt Thomas knew very well that Suter was indeed much handsomer than him.And he was telling the truth, but why does it always feel like this guy is swearing? ?
　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, and ask for support from all brothers!
