I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 191 191. East Finals!Souter: Don't worry about it. In a real fight, I can beat the entire Pacers team by myself!
A week later, on the night of May 5th, the Eagles ushered in their opponents in the Eastern Conference finals, and will be a guest at Indiana to challenge the No. 15 Pacers in the Eastern Conference.

This game is the focus of this round and will be broadcast live across the United States. ESPN has carried out a wave of publicity and promotion, and believes that there will be a lot to watch in this match.

As early as the regular season, the Eagles had some conflicts with the Pacers, and the troubles between Souter, Artest and O'Neal were even more unpleasant.

In addition to the big fights in the All-Star Game, Jermaine O'Neal has never stopped his personal attacks on Souter in private. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are incompatible.

To be able to meet in such an occasion as the playoffs, the two teams will definitely go all out and not give each other any face.

The matchup between Stephen Jackson and Artest is also a highlight. The awards the two won this season are beyond many people's expectations. Jackson squeezed out Michael Reed to be selected for the best third team, and Artest Trevor beat Ben Wallace and Garnett to be elected as the best defensive player. This kind of thing happened before no one in the outside world thought of it.

Although the two are fully capable of this, the award has been questioned a lot.When these two players, who are generally questioned by the outside world, play against each other on the court, fans are still looking forward to what kind of sparks will burst out from each other.

If Artest can't even block Jackson, who was selected to the third team of the best team, then the best defensive player will undoubtedly become a joke.Conversely, if it becomes difficult for Jackson to score under Artest's defense, Stephen Jackson's selection to the best team will definitely be ridiculed.

Therefore, in this series of games, one of the two will definitely have a grudge, which also made Stephen Jackson feel a lot of pressure before the game.

Of course, the biggest highlight of this series is Suter VS Jermaine O'Neal. Both of them are star insiders, the top scorers of the two teams, and there are irreconcilable conflicts and grievances in private. There is no need for media hype. , It can set off a wave of enthusiasm that makes fans want to stop.

Judging from Suter's performance in this year's playoffs, his popularity and influence have long surpassed that of O'Neal, but as an old opponent, O'Neal is definitely unwilling to bow his head in front of Suter, and will not openly admit that he is inferior to Suter .

Regardless of whether he wins or loses this round of the series, O'Neal will use all his strength to fight against Souter to the end.This will undoubtedly make the matchup between the two more lively, allowing fans to see a higher level of competition.

The starting lineups of the two sides have a slight advantage over the Hawks, because the Hawks can score more players, and they are stronger than the Pacers at the 1st and 5th positions.

According to ESPN's pre-match predictions, more fans are optimistic about the Eagles getting a good start in the series, and some people are optimistic about the Pacers, citing the home court advantage and team spirit Reggie Miller's outstanding personal performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Reggie Miller is a famous trash talker in the history of the NBA. He is a very arrogant star. Even when facing the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, he dared to provoke him, regardless of his opponent's face and feelings.

Although Miller has changed his temper a lot in the twilight years of his career, fans still want to see if he can create more explosive sparks when he and the violent Suter play off in the playoffs.

Pacers fans all hope that Miller can teach Suter a good lesson and let this rookie know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.

Suter has defeated many long-established stars this season, and he has intensified his efforts in the playoffs, breaking a number of NBA historical records set by historical masters one after another.

As a well-known big-hearted player in the league, fans watched the game with a gloating attitude, wanting to see the scene where the experienced old Miller sanctioned Souter.

No matter what the result of this round of the series is, as long as they can see Suter's deflation in the playoffs, black fans can even wake up from their dreams.

Miller really wants to teach Suter a lesson, because he has caused the Pacers to suffer a lot of dark losses this season, and his influence in front of the media is even more influential.

As a team with more than 60 wins in the regular season, the Pacers received less attention than the Atlanta Hawks, which made Reggie Miller feel a little dissatisfied.

In addition, Suter is not popular in Indiana, and more than 80% of Pacers fans have resentment towards Suter. These resentments are the motivation for Reggie Miller to snipe Suter in the playoffs.

Although he has never averaged more than 25 points per game in his entire career, even in his peak season he could only score 24.6 points, but he feels that he has more scoring methods on the court. Possession of the ball, he considers himself the all-time best in terms of catch and shoot.

Even if Suter wants to help defend against himself, it is not easy to find opportunities. Unless the Hawks adopt off-ball double-team tactics like the Knicks did against Suter, Reggie Miller can always find good shooting opportunities on the court. Fear of Suter's terrifying defense ability.

And this is one of the reasons why he can score high points in the playoffs.

Reggie Miller's favorite thing is to fight against Jordan. He thinks the story between himself and Jordan is the legend of the NBA.The entangled grievances between the two brought him a lot of popularity, and when he was at a disadvantage in all aspects, he never succumbed to Jordan.

A man who wasn't even afraid of Michael Jordan naturally wouldn't put young Suter in his eyes.Even Suter just broke Michael Jordan's single-game scoring record in the playoffs in the last round of the series.

Reggie Miller is such a stubborn person. Although he does not have any honors and records, and has never even confronted Jordan in the playoffs, he still has a label on him, "Jordan's The Enemy of Life".

Souter has been confused by this matter more than once. A man who has never defended Jordan in the playoffs is also worthy of being called the enemy of life?
Anyway, the Pacers have always promoted it like this, even if the gap between the two is indeed a bit huge, but Miller is indeed Jordan's most hated opponent.Every time the media asked about Reggie Miller, Jordan would show a very obvious impatience on his face, telling him not to let him hear the name of that mad dog again, he didn't want to make a big fuss at the press conference Swearing because he hates Reggie Miller from the bottom of his heart.

Michael Jordan is often flanked by opponents because of his unsolvable singles ability, and sometimes he is maliciously fouled by opponents.Facing the "Jordan Law" of the Bad Boys, he was able to control his emotions very well, so that he would not conflict with the opponent on the court.

But the only person Jordan ever beat up on the court was Reggie Miller, so Jordan also uttered that sentence that is still widely circulated until now. "I respect anyone on the court, except Reggie Miller."

In the locker room, Old Miller was discussing with his teammates how to deal with Souter tonight.

Although he never took Suter seriously, he is a bit old now, and it is difficult to defeat Suter in a head-on confrontation, and his physical strength does not allow him to play the whole game like Suter.Therefore, if the old Miller wants to take advantage of Suter, he still has to rely on the help of his teammates and the team's tactical blessing.

Otherwise, even if 10 Millers stood in front of him, it would not be enough for Suter to fight alone.

For the Eagles, Mike Woodson also assigned a defensive task to Anderson, who was in charge of defending Reggie Miller tonight. "You must keep your spirits up against Miller today. On the offensive end, he will definitely use a lot of off-ball screens to find opportunities. You should know how strong his off-ball running ability is. Follow him closely and don't let him catch it easily. Get the ball out and take advantage of your speed."

Derek Anderson's defensive ability is relatively average, but against a veteran who is almost 40 years old like Miller, the advantage lies in his movement speed. As long as he is not delayed by the Pacers' off-ball screen for too long, Anderson is basically impossible to be defeated by Miller. If it blows up, at most it will allow Miller to score a few three-pointers.

Anderson said that he will definitely defend seriously and strive to prevent Reggie Miller from having a three-point shot. Although there are too many uncertainties on the field, Anderson's attitude has won the trust of head coach Mike Woodson.

In fact, Derek Anderson's defensive efficiency is not bad, and he is far from being called a defensive black hole at the second position. It's just that Anderson's defensive ability is indeed a problem when facing the league's top stars.

But Reggie Miller is 38 years old even if he is flirty. Woodson really doesn't believe that this guy can make waves in the Eastern Conference Finals. After all, not all men can be as perverted as Michael Jordan.

At the same time, Suter, who knows that he will be taken care of by the Pacers, also said that he will reduce his shots and help his teammates score as much as possible.But Mike Woodson, who heard this sentence, disagreed, and still encouraged him to participate in the offense. He could shoot as many shots as he could on the court, without thinking about other things.

If the Eagles want to play a smooth offensive rhythm, they cannot do without Suter's "Su Gravity". singles.

These days, the NBA doesn’t have unlimited defenses. The inside players are mainly defending themselves. If there is no strategy to provide blessings for the stars, and the players alone score alone, it will be very difficult to win in the playoffs. championship.

Mike Woodson firmly believes that Suter can take on the team's offensive responsibility. Even if the Pacers' two forwards Artest and O'Neal have excellent defense capabilities, Woodson does not think Suter will be able to play in this round. Power outage.

Because since the day I met him, this guy has never let himself down.For Suter, Woodson has a mysterious self-confidence that he doesn't even know where he came from.

There was still a while before playing, and Derek Anderson took the initiative to find Suter to chat about the game. "Vulture, what do I need to pay attention to against Miller? This guy played very well in the last round of the series. I don't want to drag the team down in this round of the series."

Su Te thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "This guy is nothing special, as long as you can stabilize your mentality, then dealing with him will not be a problem at all."

"However, you should be prepared to hear trash talking in your ears. Of course, this guy may approach you deliberately, and then spit at you while talking, because there are not one or two people who want to beat him up. As long as you don't talk to him and don't be irritated by this guy, he will calm down naturally."

This is so fucking cheap, to even spit on someone, and Anderson shuddered at the thought of that scene, feeling that Reggie Miller was really disgusting.

"Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to besides these? I have never played against him in the playoffs. To be honest, I am really a little nervous now."

Suter went on to say: "Because of physical reasons, he likes to use small moves on both ends of the offense and defense, especially when jumping, and he likes to stretch his legs. You must be careful with this move, and don't be kicked in the crotch by him. He The acting is very good, he can always fool the referee, and he looks like he lost his balance because of the physical confrontation."

"Now I finally know why Jordan hit him in the first place." Derek Anderson was a little speechless. He didn't expect Reggie Miller, who entered the playoffs, to be so frantic.

Rasheed Wallace on the side turned his head when he heard the voice and said, "Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to these things. Thinking too much will only affect your playing rhythm."

"His physical fitness is not as good as yours. Now that he is old, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable on defense. At worst, you can bully the old man more on the offensive end, but don't let this guy's trash talk make your mentality explode."

"I hope my balls can be kept. I don't want to become a single-bee man because of a game, hey." Derek Anderson let out a soft sigh.In my heart, I told myself to try to defend Miller as little as possible, otherwise, this guy might really use the long-lost slap kick.

Seeing Derek Anderson's depressed face, Suter could understand his mood, but he reached out and patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Don't panic, that guy is already old, now belongs to our era, he will have to pay back sooner or later, how shameless he was back then, and how miserable he will be abused by his opponents now, instead of thinking about how to prevent him, Just figure out how to blow him up on offense."

"Let go and fight, don't have a psychological burden, if you really want to fight, I can beat the entire Pacers team by myself!"

How annoying is this guy Reggie Miller?

It is not difficult to see from the fact that the NBA has specially introduced a "Miller Law" for him. Even the league can't stand the disgust of this guy.

According to Miller's Law, offensive players who intentionally extend their legs and make fouls when shooting will no longer be judged as "hard physical contact", and may even be whistled for offensive fouls by referees, and they will also have to bear the consequences of flopping after the game. fine.

If it is an open shot, the league will not intervene no matter what posture the player uses. Even if he kicks his leg above his head, the league will treat it as a joke, but if there is a defensive player in front of him, the offensive player cannot put his leg up. Lifting too high, intentionally creating a lower body collision.

According to Miller's Law, this behavior will be judged by the referee as an offensive foul, which is a combination of diving and touching porcelain.

Hearing Suter's encouragement, Derek Anderson's mood was obviously much easier.

Yes, this guy is nothing to be afraid of. He has the advantage of his age. Compared with his body, he must be much better than Reggie Miller. The other party should be more afraid, after all, this guy next to him is the number one tyrant in the NBA!

Compared with Suter, Reggie Miller's means can only be regarded as three abuses at best, and he can't get on the stage at all.If you really want to be impatient, you can fuck him at worst, use this pair of iron fists to forcibly fight a way to the finals!
