I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 193 193. The beast walking on the basketball court!Spin three hundred and six in the air!

Off-the-ball running is combined with the team's offensive tactics. Reggie Miller's off-the-ball running position generally passes through the cover of inside players from one side, and then catches and shoots after running to the other side.

There is no difference between his off-ball style and Suter's, at most they have different running routes.

Reggie Miller has more fake moves when running, because his physical fitness is too poor, and it is difficult to get rid of the defender's pursuit without some skills.Suter, on the other hand, has top physical fitness. As long as his teammates set up a cover for him, he can get rid of the close defense by relying on speed alone.

On the defensive end, Derek Anderson followed Miller closely, like a piece of brown candy that he couldn't get rid of no matter what, he would bypass the screen as soon as he encountered it, and always kept defensive interference to Miller.

Reggie Miller couldn't get rid of the ball after receiving the ball. He couldn't turn around and shoot a jumper because he was close to him, so he was forced to pass the ball.

Derek Anderson clearly remembers the details that Suter told him before the game, the details that are the basis for defending Reggie Miller.

The old Miller is physically inferior to Anderson. He is 2 meters tall and weighs only 01 kilograms. Anderson is heavier than him, and he has the upper hand in physical confrontation.

In fact, even if you look at the entire league, you can't find a shooting guard who is thinner than Reggie Miller. He was able to thrive in his peak period and was evaluated as a "tough guy" entirely because he refused to admit defeat. Character, and that broken mouth that often causes trouble.

Suter has seen through Reggie Miller for a long time. As long as he can stabilize his mentality and bypass the cover of other Pacers players in time, then Reggie Miller's role on the court is not as good as that of Ray Allen and later generations. Stephen Curry.

Because Ray Allen and Curry, in addition to their three-pointers, can also break through to the inside with the ball.But Reggie Miller can only catch the ball and jump shot most of the time, either three-pointers or long two-pointers, and rarely scores layups in the paint.

After a few passes, the basketball finally came to Pacers star Jermaine O'Neal.I saw O'Neill catch the ball in the low post on the left, squeeze Suter with his back, and found that the latter was not moving at all. He used his height advantage to turn around in the middle and hit a jumper with a fallback. 3:4.

Suter basically didn't lose his position when defending this ball, but O'Neal's turnaround jumper did have two brushes, and there are still some things on the technical level.

上轮系列赛对阵活塞，他场均出战41分钟，可以砍下22.6分 9.3篮板2.3助攻1抢断和2.4次封盖，投篮命中率为48.6%。

Suter is a little shorter than him, and when Jermaine O'Neal turns over for a jumper in a better position, it's really not easy for Suter to block the shot head-on.

However, Suter was not discouraged by being hit by O'Neal's turnaround jumper over his head.One or two rounds of competition can't explain the problem, just as Suter can easily get rid of Jermaine O'Neal's three-pointer on the offensive end.

In the Eagles' positional battle, the formation on the field is completely opened, and the starting five players all have good shooting ability, which will undoubtedly put more pressure on the Pacers' defense.

Suter ran to the left corner to catch the ball without the ball, and then slipped to the bottom line and started running to the right.Derek Anderson came out to help him block O'Neill, and O'Neal clearly realized how difficult Suter was in the playoffs.

His speed seems to be faster than in the regular season. Even if no one gives him a cover, it is difficult for O'Neal to stick to him continuously. What's more, the Eagles always have players pulled out to pick and roll for him. O'Neill was in pain when chasing and defending.I can only watch Suter scurry back and forth on the court like a loach.

Nash and Wallace played a pick-and-roll in the middle and broke through on the left. After seeing Suter running, they passed the ball in an instant.

Souter got a good chance to catch the ball, and the thin Reggie Miller didn't choose to help defend, because when he was misplaced to defend Sutter, it made no difference to Souter whether he defended or not.

So even if the two had just cross-screened, Reggie Miller could only pray in his heart that O'Neal would be faster at his feet, and try not to be thrown out by Suter on the off-ball end.

In the bottom corner on the right, Suter easily completed the shot after receiving the ball. Jermaine O'Neal in front of him had no time to take off, so he could only reach out to interfere symbolically.

These two shots, Suter was as comfortable as in training. He didn't feel any defensive pressure from the Pacers. The ball went into the net again. This was Suter's second three-pointer in this game. "Shua", 6:4.

After scoring the goal, he raised his middle finger at Jr. O'Neill, who was late in chasing and defending in front of him, as if provoking this guy who has openly bombarded himself in front of the media many times.

Commentator Bill Walton said: "The Pacers have had two defensive loopholes in a row. I think Coach Carlisle should make adjustments to the lineup as soon as possible. If this rhythm continues, the Vulture may score 40+ again today. "

"Playing against the Hawks inside the twin towers is simply courting death. Foster can only stand in the penalty area and cannot follow. This is equivalent to transferring all the pressure of defending the vultures to Jermaine O'Neal alone."

Aaron Myers said: "Coach Carlisle was supposed to strengthen the rebound protection and lineup height, but he made an obvious mistake."

"About 40% of the vultures' shots in the playoffs came from the outside. They no longer used pick-and-rolls to cut the basket frequently like in the regular season. The vulture's jumper efficiency is also very deadly. Although Jermaine O'Neal's ability to assist defense Excellent, but you can't stop a vulture on your own."

Bill Walton said: "At the offensive end, O'Neal is also very difficult to play too much personal advantage. The vultures only need to defend with all their strength, and O'Neal's offensive efficiency will definitely drop below the average level. This is what the two have already achieved in the regular season. It has been proved many times in the fight, the more you play late, the more obvious the disadvantage of Jermaine O'Neal, I think this will not change after entering the playoffs."

The Pacers were at a disadvantage at the beginning, which made Reggie Miller's fighting spirit more and more high. He would never admit defeat, and would only choose to face the difficulties when encountering setbacks.

In the next round, he started to run harder, trying to respond to Suter with a three-pointer.After all, the three-pointer is the most unsolvable offensive method in his career, but in this game, Suter used two consecutive three-pointers to demonstrate to him and beat himself in his own way. This must be Reggie M. Le can't stand things.

Jeff Foster first gave Miller the first pick-and-roll without the ball. Miller ran from the right to the left after running without the ball, circled around and went out with the help of Artest's second Pick and roll out to catch the ball.

Reggie Miller turned and shot after receiving the ball, completely ignoring Derek Anderson's chasing block.Jackson didn't dare to let Artest go out to help defend, so he could only let Reggie Miller catch the ball and make a three-pointer.

Derek Anderson's take-off block on this ball was timely enough to be regarded as a serious defensive interference, and the whole person did not lose his position too obviously.But Reggie Miller's shooting touch is very good today. This three-pointer still draws a beautiful arc in the air and enters the net. 6:7.

At the same time, the home fans gave warm applause and crazy shouts to the "team soul" Reggie Miller.It seems to be cheering for Reggie Miller, and it seems to be cheering for his lack of confidence.

However, Hawks coach Mike Woodson sat off the court, but he was at ease, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

He has great confidence in his players and has never been afraid to fight hard with his opponents. The current way of contesting on the court is the eagle's favorite rhythm of the game. He believes that Suter will cause trouble for the Pacers in the future.

It is very difficult for Derek Anderson to completely guard against Reggie Miller. The Pacers' inside line will always help cover, because only when Reggie Miller is shot from the outside line, the Pacers will be more effective. Easy to win the game.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Pacers to achieve a 60-win record in the regular season just relying on the individual singles of Jermaine O'Neal and Artest, the "dumb combination".

In other words, if O'Neal and Artest want to get better singles opportunities in the interior, they also have to rely on Reggie Miller's off-ball running to involve defense.

After all, neither of these two is the top offensive star in the league, and it is difficult to compare with the monster Souter in scoring explosiveness.

Reggie Miller's shooting is extremely accurate, and his release point is high, which is not easy to be blocked.But Mike Woodson will not arrange inside players to double-team him today. He believes that Derek Anderson can handle it himself.

As long as Anderson can slightly limit Reggie Miller's offensive efficiency, teammates can better defend others, and don't have to worry about others coming out of space due to double-teaming.

After all, Jermaine O'Neal is an inside star who can average 20+ points per game. If Suter puts all his energy on helping Reggie Miller, it is hard to say whether Jermaine O'Neal will be in this round. Excellent individual performance in the series.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, Mike Woodson simply gave up his plan to let Suter participate in a large number of defense assistance, and evenly distributed the defensive pressure to other people.

To paraphrase the words of general manager Rick Sander, "If a team wants to win the championship, it cannot place the pressure on one person anyway. That is a performance of incompetence, and it is also a failure of the coaching staff."

The Eagles attacked, and Suter ran to the right to get the ball again. Jermaine O'Neal's chasing speed was a little faster, but Suter was not completely thrown away.

In the corner position, Suter assumed a three-threat posture and dangled the ball. O'Neal in front of him did not take off, but his left arm was raised high, and he subconsciously adjusted his body's center of gravity to the front.

Seeing the opportunity, Suter changed direction with the ball in his left hand and passed O'Neal's defense in one step.At the same time, Artest also came out to help prevent interference, and Suter took another step towards the middle, relying on his speed to open up space with Artest, before the hungry beast pounced on him, he threw the ball towards up the basket.

I saw that Jackson, who was let go by Artest, went up the next step, caught the ball with both hands in the middle, folded his body, and smashed the ball into the basket with a windmill dunk in the air, "哐", 8:7.

Aaron Miles exclaimed: "Beautiful! This is a wonderful alley connection! The cooperation between the two will definitely be selected as the top five goals of the day. A breakthrough is sharp and connects two people, and an air cut is folded in time. Buckle, the tacit understanding between Vulture and Jackson is getting better and better."

"I really hope that Jackson can stay with the Hawks this summer and continue to be teammates with the Vultures next season, because the two can always perform wonderful dunk performances on the court."

"The Pacers must help defend the vulture inside, otherwise he will always have a way to make a shot."

Bill Walton said: "The inside player can jump shot if he is not defended, and he can break through and assist his teammates when he is defended. I think the top priority is that Coach Carlisle must send a mobile center to help him. Foster's The traversing is so slow, it won't be long before Rick Carlisle calls for a timeout."

Rick Carlisle doesn't want to call a timeout now. He doesn't believe in evil. He doesn't believe that Suter's shooting touch can be more terrifying than a pure shooter like Reggie Miller.

There is a price to be paid for double-teaming Souter. In the semifinals, the Knicks double-teamed Souter every game, so the other players of the Eagles blossomed a little more, and played a good overall performance in that round of the series.

If it weren't for the desperate situation, Carlisle really didn't want to use double-team tactics against Suter.He firmly believes that O'Neal and Artest can solve the problem on the court, and he also does not think Suter can maintain a fiery shooting efficiency throughout the game.

The Pacers attacked, and Reggie Miller ran off the ball again to catch the ball. This time Derek Anderson's follow-up defense was very timely, forcing the opponent to have no good shot opportunities, and could only distribute the ball to the other side. Jermaine O'Neal.

The latter made an air cut and was blocked by Suter on the breakthrough route. He chose to play high and high, but found that Suter's defensive ability was much stronger than in the regular season. He had a hunch that if the ball was strong, he would be blocked by Suter. build.

In line with the concept of tactical recognition, O'Neal passed the ball inside to the burly Artest.

Facing Jackson's defense, Artest chose singles. He turned around in the three-second zone and missed the shot. The rebound was picked off by Rasheed Wallace and quickly passed to Nash to launch a counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Nash didn't even think about it, and quickly advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to Suter, who was quickly coming down on the right.

Jamal Tinsley tried to destroy the pass, but failed to reach out for a gambling steal, and was completely left behind by Souter.

Suter took the ball and looked around, and found that no Pacers player could keep up with his speed. He cut into the middle and took three steps, and his body pulled out a full bow in the air and smashed the ball with one hand! "Bang"! 10:7!

Tinsley can't do without a gamble steal. If the ball can't be broken and Souter catches it smoothly, then he can't chase Souter even if he catches up with the defense, so he can only choose to cut off Nash's passing route as much as possible.
Once this kind of defense fails, it will be a big open space, which will be reduced to Suter's dunk performance on the court.

With his confrontation ability, even if he is close to the whole body, it is useless. Suter can carry him and forcefully dunk.

Tinsley's weight of 88 kilograms is very strong for a point guard, but he is a weak chicken in front of Suter, and his defense is basically useless.

The Pacers attacked, and Jamal Tinsley protected the ball with his back. After observing the position of his teammates, he passed the ball to Jermaine O'Neal.

This was discussed by the players in the locker room before the game. O'Neal wanted to save face with Souter, and teach Souter a lesson in the playoffs, which is a highly anticipated occasion.

In this game, he planned to take more shots and cut down a good personal data. As a result, Suter has scored 8 points and 1 assist so far, but he only made a turnaround jumper. It is clear at a glance who is teaching whom.

The bad thing is that Tinsley, who has always been as stable as an old dog, made a mistake in this pass. After halftime, he passed the ball to O'Neal continuously, which made Suter judge his passing route early.

As soon as the ball was passed, Suter suddenly lowered the center, bypassing Jermaine O'Neal and stepped forward to use a gambling steal.

His explosive power is very strong, and his bullet speed is also very fast. He stabbed the basketball with his left hand first than O'Neal, and then buried himself in the frontcourt to launch a counterattack when there was a physical confrontation with O'Neal.

The two started in a parallel position, which can be called the same starting line in the true sense.However, O'Neal's center of gravity shifted a little after being hit by Suter. His body was too thin, and he couldn't accelerate at all after being hit by Suter.

Suter bent down to pick up the basketball, got rid of the defense and launched a fast break alone, calculated the distance and took off at a position one step away from the free throw line, turned 360 degrees in the air and dunked the basketball!
This dunk is definitely the best goal of the day. Except for Suter, there are not many people in the league who can make this kind of dunk in actual combat.

Even he can only use a 360-degree spin in the air for a fast break dunk under a steal, otherwise he will be easily injured if someone is defending in front of him.

12:7, not long after the start, Suter had already scored his 10th point in the game.

He clenched his fists and slapped his chest excitedly, then pulled his neck and yelled at the Pacers bench, stopping Rick Carlisle directly.

The bulging veins on Suter's neck can be clearly seen on the Pacers' bench. This scene, coupled with his wild and brutal image, really looks like a beast walking on a basketball court.

Just the aura and oppressive feeling in the body after the dunk made many bench players tear their hearts apart.I really don't know who can guard against such a beast on the basketball court!
