I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 192 192. Everyone knows you're a mad dog, there's no need to show it.

Players from the two teams played on time, and Reggie Miller, the soul of the team, received warm applause and cheers from the home fans.As Indiana's Public Enemy, Suter got the biggest boos from the audience.

There were even faint voices of abuse from both sides of the stands.

Home fans hope that Reggie Miller can lead the Pacers to end the Hawks' 8-game winning streak in the playoffs today, rather than becoming a stepping stone for a super rookie to fame.

As the only team in the league with more than 60 wins this season, the Pacers' winning odds are almost the same as the Eagles, which is an insult to the Pacers.Long before the start of this round of the series, he tried his best to face the Eagles, not only because of Suter, but also because he wanted to prove to the outside media that the Pacers are the best team in the active league.

During the warm-up, Suter's shooting touch looked pretty good, and he hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside. Those who didn't know thought Suter was a high-level fortress.

On the other hand, Reggie Miller on the opposite side is also practicing warm-up three-pointers, and his accuracy is even more ridiculous. It can almost be said that he has no misses.

This game was broadcast live on ESPN nationwide. The audience in front of the TV was already excited just by seeing the warm-up of the two teams.

As far as the shooting status of Suter and Reggie Miller is concerned, scoring [-] to [-] points is basically a certainty.

The starting players of the two teams came to the field one after another, and the Eagles are still the standard starting five tigers: Steve Nash, Derek Anderson, Stephen Jackson, Suter and "Roaring God" Rasheed Wallace.

Originally, Mike Woodson wanted Josh Davis, who had better defensive ability, to play the starting lineup, so that Jackson and Davis could defend Reggie Miller and Artest at the same time, ensuring the Eagles' perimeter The defense will not be penetrated by the opponent.

But Josh Davis' offensive ability cannot be compared with Derek Anderson's at all. If Davis is really allowed to start the game, the Eagles' offensive performance will inevitably be affected.

As one of the teams with the highest assist defense efficiency in the active league, the Pacers have very good agility and defensive experience. Without Derek Anderson to open up space on the outside, it really wouldn't be as good as the previous two rounds of the series.

So to be conservative, Mike Woodson still used the team's most regular starter, and did not lose the Eagles' own offensive advantage because of defense.

During the regular season, the Pacers had a reinforcement plan for the interior, but because the management was unwilling to take out the first-round pick in 06, the Pacers failed to exchange for a better player until the trade deadline. center.

At present, the Pacers' starting center is Jeff Foster, who averaged only 6 points and 7 rebounds per game.

Foster is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms. He can only block 107 times this season. His ability to protect the basket is all due to luck. The average of less than 0.3 blocks per game is not enough for his height of 0.5 meters.

After entering the playoffs, facing other teams' excellent inside centers, Foster's average data shrank to only 4 points and 6 rebounds per game.

But even so, the Pacers have no other choice but to use Foster as the starter. Even though his offensive ability is very poor and his defensive ability is average, this is already the best inside partner that the Pacers can find for O'Neal .

In addition, the Pacers' other backup insiders are even worse, and players of Crosier's level are not as real as Jeff Foster.

Faced with this kind of slow-moving big center with poor ability to protect the basket, the Eagles have many ways to score inside. Artest's defense of the two.

The higher frequency of use makes Artest's defensive efficiency this year look very intuitive, which is one of the reasons why Artest's ability is overwhelming-Wallace and Garnett both won the best defensive player.

The Pacers' starting five: Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and center Jeff Foster.

As soon as he saw the starting lineups of both sides, the commentator Bill Walton.He raised his doubts. "Coach Rick Carlisle seems to have some problems with his lineup today. He even sent the Twin Towers to start. The vulture can play super when he meets the Twin Towers lineup. I don't know why Coach Carlisle didn't make a lineup. Does he think Jermaine O'Neal alone can limit the offensive efficiency of the Condors?"

Aaron Miles smiled: "I think Coach Carlisle should be trying to strengthen the height of the lineup, so that the big man can better cover the shooters like Reggie Miller, and at the same time he can attack the basket against Souter." The frequency of the basket creates a certain deterrent. Even if Jeff Foster's defensive efficiency is very poor, he is 2 meters tall after all."

Rick Carlisle is a typical academic coach with a relatively stubborn coaching style.He felt that using the twin-tower lineup was the right choice, so even if the assistant coach spoke out, it was impossible to change his mind.

In the league in the early 00s, there was a popular saying that "he who gets the inside wins the world".All the old-school coaches with relatively stubborn coaching styles will keep players as close to the basket as possible and avoid shooting too many three-pointers from the outside.

An occasional [-]-pointer like Reggie Miller won't change his mind.

Rick Carlisle's most impressive basketball philosophy is, "Win the game the right way."

So what is the right way in Rick Carlisle's eyes?

To put it bluntly, it is to require the players to devote themselves to defense, and then work hard to hit the ball to the basket, and at the same time create space with mid-range shots to minimize low-shooting three-point shots.

Even Reggie Miller's [-]-point attempts per game this season have hit a career low. Outside shooting is not the wrong way to end, but if there is a chance to get inside, Nark Carlisle definitely doesn't want to see players Shoot threes down the court.

Rick Carlisle allows players to shoot more long two-pointers on the court. If he can transform the "three-pointer king" into a "mid-range shot king" like Alan Houston, he will feel very proud in his heart, thinking that he is another Saved the soul of a blinded three-pointer.

This kind of coach is not an exception in the NBA. Like Larry Brown of the Pistons and Wilkens of the Knicks, these people's coaching styles are very stubborn, and it can be said that they are not good at oil and salt. If you want to change them Undoubtedly, the idea is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Of course, Rick Carlisle is still very young after all, and he still has the opportunity to make corrections in the future and redefine his coaching philosophy following the development rhythm of basketball.

Someone like Suter, who obviously has the top physical fitness in history, but prefers to shoot ultra-long shots from beyond the three-point line. If he joined the Indiana Pacers, he would definitely only be the water dispenser administrator. towel.

In the eyes of Rick Carlisle, this kind of player is a typical waste of talent, and can even be singled out as a negative teaching material to criticize for not repeating it for a month.

It's a pity that Suter's growth rate is far beyond the imagination of the outside world. With Suter's current strength and talent, Carlisle dare not speak ill of Suter in front of the media even if he doesn't like him anymore, because it will only expose him. Showing his jealousy, it even makes people feel that he has eyes that don't know Mount Tai.

Before the game started, Reggie Miller, who was good at psychological warfare, walked up to Souter and asked for a meal.

This guy's trash talk isn't the kind of humorous sarcasm, it's a mouth full of foul language that makes people sound like they want to lose control.

But Suter has made countless enemies in the league, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of cynicism and personal attacks. Facing Reggie Miller's trash talk harassment, he can completely keep his face unchanged.

Even when Reggie Miller was scolding vigorously, Suter couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he didn't pay attention to Reggie Miller at all, all because there was a mad dog in his ear is howling.

This scene made Reggie Miller stunned. It was the first time he saw someone who could still laugh after being attacked by his crazy trash talk. Could it be that this guy has a tendency to be masochistic?The harder I scold him, the more excited he feels physically?

Ignoring Reggie Miller's thoughts, Suter reached out to take off the braces protecting his teeth, and patted Miller's left cheek lightly with his hand as he passed by Miller's side.

"Thank you for giving me a thoughtful rap before the game. In return, I will also give you a gift. I hope you will not cry out after this game."

With Jeff Foster jumping to the ball in midfield, the Pacers got the first chance to attack.

In the positional battle, Reggie Miller kept running without the ball, trying to find opportunities to catch and shoot, but Derek Anderson followed him like a ghost, and he did a good job of following up and defending.

Although Reggie Miller's off-ball running experience is top-notch in history, Derek Anderson is better at being young and moving faster at his feet. Ji - Miller completed close.

This is the benefit of being young, and this is the capital of youth.

Pacers point guard Tinsley observed the situation while protecting the ball. After consideration, he did not pass the ball to Reggie Miller, but passed it to Artest, who was asking for the ball in the low post on the left, by hitting the ground.

Jamal Tinsley is 1 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms. His other abilities are average, but he does a good job in protecting the ball.

A bit like the "Old Fish" Fisher who played for the Lakers in later generations, he is not so much a point guard as a dribbling guard.As long as he can pass the ball to the star after halftime, and then pull himself outside the three-point line to stretch the space, then half of Tinsley's task has been completed.

At this time, Artest, who received the ball in the low post, relied on his weight advantage to push Stephen Jackson's defense to complete an offense, hitting Jackson with his back, turning around and hitting a jumper. 0:2.

This season Artest's weight reached 113 kilograms. He is the strongest player at the small forward position. His weight is even more exaggerated than the beast insider Suter. Although Jackson does not suffer from height when defending him, he suffers from strength. too much.

Unless Artest's receiving route can be cut off in advance, or his teammates can help defend here, once Artest successfully receives the pass in the low post, Jackson can only do it with all his strength. Without interference, it is impossible to prevent Artest's rampage.

As early as the regular season, Jackson suffered a lot from Artest. The person who was most suitable to defend him should be Josh Davis on the bench, or another insider, and then by Suter played the third position to dislocate Artest.

However, in order to maximize the team's offensive firepower, Mike Woodson did not use Josh Davis to start in the end, because he wanted to see the team maintain stability on the offensive end rather than improving the defensive end.

The Eagles attacked, and Reggie Miller didn't forget to open his mouth to spray a few words when he returned to the backcourt.

Hearing Reggie Miller barking again, Suter was not in a hurry to participate in the attack, but replied with a smile when passing by Miller: "Okay, you might as well take a break if you have this time, everyone knows You're a mad dog, there's no need to show it."

"..." Reggie Miller froze for a moment again. Suter's expression was too calm, which was completely different from what Miller had expected, and even made Miller doubt life.

Didn't this guy take himself seriously at all?Otherwise, how could he be so calm?It was as if God was looking down on the ants!

While speaking, Suter started running without the ball, running from the right foot to the upper line. At the same time, Rasheed Wallace also came out and made an off-ball screen for him.With the help of the cover, he successfully got rid of Jermaine O'Neal's defense, and immediately shot a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Nash. He didn't hesitate at all from receiving the ball to shooting, and the word decisive was almost written on his face.

Artest didn't help defend in time, and could only watch Suter shoot from a position one meter away from the three-point line as soon as the game opened.

The offense was virtually uninterrupted by the Pacers' defense, and Suter looked very confident when he took the shot. He caught the ball with perfect rhythm, picturesque posture, and the ball went hollow into the net. "Shua", 3:2.

After scoring the goal, Suter pulled his neck and roared, showing off his strong biceps to the thin Reggie Miller, as if responding to his trash talk harassment just now.

Trash talk has a fart use, and it's just disgusting players with poor mental quality.

A capable player who cares about this?Strength on the court is the last word!
"The Glove" Payton and Reggie Miller were both famous trash talkers in the 90s.However, the two of them have spent their entire careers spraying out a championship without spraying it out.Competitive sports have always paid attention to winners and losers. The game has been hanged and beaten, and everyone is always dissatisfied. That bear looks really boring.

Except for some fans who think they have character and play tough, in fact, most players in the league don't like their mouth full of shit.

In the entire NBA history, only Larry Bird has achieved the point where he loves to talk trash and is strong, which also allowed him to successfully win the title of "force-king".

However, Larry Bird's trash talk is not cursing, but likes to pretend to be aggressive, and to bring out his greatness and awesomeness by satirizing his opponents.

After all, this guy's pretense ability is indeed top-notch in history. Even if he goes to the inflatable doll factory, he can still sit on the professional "pretend" position on the assembly line.

The pretentious style of talking nonsense with his eyes open all day also makes his trash talk look more soulful, which is more than one level higher than the images of Reggie Miller and "Glove" Payton.

Suter didn't squirt back at Miller after scoring the goal, because that would only lower his worth.
