I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 195 195. Su Has Gravity!Assists in double figures!Inside magician!
In the second quarter, both sides put on the bench lineup, and Boris Diaw and Josh Davis paired up inside. This is a brand new attempt by Eagles coach Mike Woodson.

The height of the penalty area between the two is indeed a bit different, and they will definitely not do a good job in blocking shots and protecting rebounds, but Diaw and Davis are both very flexible, and playing at the same time can ensure that the Eagles can play sharply at any time. Defensive counterattack.

Although Crawford is [-] meters tall and has good peripheral shooting ability, his defense is also very poor. Facing the traditional center's post-up singles, the defense is useless.

Although the "big bamboo pole" Bradley has a strong ability to protect the frame, his moving speed is too slow. In order to solve the problem of rotation inside, Mike Woodson has made many attempts in private.

In the Eagles' usual team training games, the inside combination composed of Boris Diaw and Josh Davis showed a good chemical reaction.

For Mike Woodson, this is a brand new attempt. After all, Diaw and Josh Davis are not traditional insiders. It takes some courage and a bit crazy to let them play together.

The core of the Eagles' offense in the second quarter is Stephen Jackson, who plays as a point forward.

Mike Woodson asked veteran Personn to run and catch and shoot like Reggie Miller, and he could also cut inside.

Point guard "Reaper" Smush Parker will play the role of counter-attack promoter and off-ball cut, and Stephen Jackson will be the first organizer in the positional battle.Parker's main task is to play defensive counterattack and defend the opponent's outside scorer.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers' performance was very tenacious, and the substitutes were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.The team's second-year rookie Fred Jones even hit three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, helping the team gradually catch up with the score.

Rick Carlisle, as a representative figure of academic coaches, naturally has his own advantages. He is particularly good at building a defensive system and can teach players how to defend on the court.

Playing under Carlisle, even if a player is not good at defense, he must defend desperately. If he does not want to play a certain tactic, he must play seriously.

His coaching style is very strict, and players must play strictly according to his rhythm on the court, with little room for free play.

That's what academic coaching is all about, sort of like a school nerd who's good at learning but terrible at creativity.

The Pacers' bench lineup plays almost the same in every game, and relying on teamwork can also guarantee offensive firepower.

Al Harrington was replaced by Rick Carlisle with more than four minutes left in the first quarter to rest, and in the second quarter, Al Harrington continued to play to lead the second team.

This is the lineup that the Pacers are most used to this season, and Carlisle will not easily make changes in the playoffs.

In addition, the Pacers have veteran Kenny Anderson on the bench.When he was young, he was a very good point guard who could shoot suddenly and averaged 19 points and 9 assists in a single season.

Kenny Anderson is 183cm tall and weighs 76kg. Due to his age, his speed has become very slow and his body is not very strong, but his game rhythm is very stable.

As one of the soul veterans on the Pacers bench, Kenny Anderson is deeply trusted by head coach Rick Carlisle. He and Reggie Miller started and replaced each other, supporting the Pacers' two lineups. attack.

In his peak season, Kenny Anderson averaged 19 points, 4 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game. Today, he faced the young guy Smush Parker's defense and ushered in an explosion. On the offensive end, he used pick-and-rolls to assist the team for the first time. The six-man Al Harrington hit the rim successfully and led the team to a wave of climax for the Eagles in just over three minutes.

Hawks coach Mike Woodson stood on the sidelines and roared angrily, very disappointed with Josh Davis' performance in the second quarter.

During the regular season, he tried to cultivate Josh Davis vigorously, but this guy's shooting has never been developed, his offensive skills are too rough, and his defensive ability is barely enough.

But after returning from the second quarter, Josh Davis even got blown up by Al Harrington in his best defense. This kind of performance without much value on both ends of the offense and defense simply made Mike Woodson I'm so angry.

In less than 4 minutes, Al Harrington made 5 of 2 shots on the field, 2 of 8 free throws, and scored 2 points and [-] rebounds.An angry Mike Woodson decisively called a timeout, intending to bring the starting lineup back to the field in advance, otherwise the Pacers will probably take the opportunity to overtake the score.

During the timeout, the commentator Bill Walton said: "It can be seen that Al Harrington is smiling very happily now. Because he played a little depressed in the first quarter, facing the Eagles' starting inside and did not gain any advantage, Instead, he was ravaged by the Vulture and Rasheed Wallace."

"After coming back in the second quarter, he led the bench to set off a counterattack frenzy and caught the Eagles by surprise. It seems that Harrington is really suitable for the role of the sixth man, because it will let him take the shot. There is no psychological pressure."

Aaron Miles laughed: "Facts have proved that the inside combination of Boris Diaw and Josh Davis can't stop the Pacers' impact. When Harrington chose to break through with the ball, the two People’s reaction speed is indeed very fast, but the height of the basket guard is too short, and it is impossible to do the task of protecting the restricted area.”

Bill Walton said: "This is a very good attempt, but Coach Woodson chose the wrong team. He should use a small lineup to defend against the Mavericks' shooting-oriented team, and Not experimenting with teams like the Pacers who like to go to the rim."

Aaron Myers sighed: "Probably because this journey has been too smooth, so Coach Woodson has become more and more confident in his coaching ability. In a sense, this is a good thing, but At the same time, it is also a bad thing. I hope Coach Woodson can recognize the reality more clearly and know who has the most credit for the Eagles to go all the way to where they are today."

The timeout ended and the Hawks' lead was down to three points when both sides replaced starters.

Suter's offensive touch in the second half of the second quarter began to cool down. Under the frequent double-teaming of the best defensive players Artest and Jermaine O'Neal, Suter played very uncomfortable on the court, so he connected the ball. Can't find a good shot.

He missed an air-cut layup after a pick-and-roll, missed a three-point jumper from the left, and only caused a Jermaine O'Neal foul during a defensive counterattack. He made two free throws and scored two points.

Under the opponent's tight defense, he can only pass the ball as soon as he catches it, which plays a role of attracting defense.

The Pacers' desperate defense and supplementary defense made Suter forcefully shoot the ball in the presence of interference, and from the second half of the second quarter, the Pacers' retreat speed obviously began to increase. Even if the Eagles It is not easy to come up with opportunities if you want to fight back.

The Pacers played very patiently in the position. Basically, each attack took 20 seconds before shooting. The purpose was to deliberately reduce the number of offensive rounds of both sides. Only in this way can the Eagles' defensive counterattack be limited from the root.

After all, the Pacers never rely on counterattacks to score, they rely on offensive field goal percentage, which is what coach Rick Carlisle thinks is the most correct way to play.

Except for the core players, the whole team will not fight indiscriminately. According to the tactics, it will be executed step by step, just like assembly line basketball. Every link has something he should do.

Although this kind of one-on-one style of play can guarantee the team's lower limit, its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the game is very ugly, and the whole process seems dull, making the fans want to sleep while sitting on the sidelines, and there are few wonderful offensive rounds. Appear.

Moreover, if there are too many fights, it is easy to be caught by the opponent, so as to find a way to limit the attack.

Pacers fans are so pitiful, watching their own team play is simply a kind of suffering.

Thanks to the fact that Rick Carlisle didn't stay with the Pacers for a long time, and the league changed its offensive rules after the [-] season, otherwise the boring defensive battles would surely cause the NBA to lose more fans.

In contrast, the Eagles' offense is much better. Even if Suter is strictly guarded by the opponent, there are Stephen Jackson and Wallace who can carry the banner of offense.

Especially Stephen Jackson, today he can go inside and outside, feels hot and hot, showing offensive kaleidoscope skills, causing consecutive defensive fouls by Pacers players, and forcing a wave of free throws at the Pacers' home court.

And also had gliding dunks in fast break counterattacks, hit mid-range shots and three-pointers, helping the Eagles always maintain a weak lead.

And when the Pacers players' defensive attention is not enough, Jackson can occasionally make a three-pointer from a position one meter away from the three-point line.He usually doesn't practice three-pointers in this position at all, and being able to shoot the ball depends entirely on talent.

Whenever Stephen Jackson has this kind of performance, the Eagles coaching staff will feel very sorry.

If this guy is willing to work harder, not go out for a while during the holidays, train as actively as Suter, and spend all his time on basketball, Jackson will have become a first-tier star in the league, instead of being selected as one of the best three players like he is now. It will also be questioned and ridiculed by the outside world.

Reggie Miller also performed very well in the second half of the second quarter. He scored a three-pointer from the outside and caused two fouls by Derek Anderson by flopping. This guy leans over and throws the ball out and it's a hit.

Instead, his thin body has become his offensive weapon to win sympathy. Reggie Miller is definitely a genius if he can use his poor physical fitness to this extent.

At 57:50, the Eagles led the Pacers by 7 points, ending the first half contest between the two sides.

At the beginning of the second half, Rick Carlisle re-introduced Jeff Foster as the starter and did not let Al Harrington continue to appear with the starters.

Because when Harrington and the Pacers started together, Carlisle also found that his performance was not as eye-catching as on the bench. In order to take care of Al Harrington and the other four starters, Carlisle could only continue to use Fox Te served as the starting center and partnered with Jermaine O'Neal inside.

Once the opponent's big center comes up, Suter can get a good shot again.His movement speed far exceeds that of inside players, which is simply a nuclear weapon against big centers, authoritarian and dissatisfied.

Even Mutombo, the best defensive player in history, has nothing to do with Suter, let alone Foster, a floor center who can only send 0.4 blocks per game.

Carlisle is facing a very difficult decision. He needs to increase the height of the lineup to prevent the Hawks from frequently attacking the basket, and also needs to reasonably allocate the playing time of Al Harrington and several other players.

However, after Jeff Foster was deployed, the point difference was widened, which was very embarrassing. It was obviously his mistake in employing people, and this pot could not be thrown away even if he wanted to.

As the saying goes, if you hit a snake and hit seven inches, you dig the tree first to dig the root. In the second half, Suter caught the point that Foster couldn't help the defense and played endlessly. Shot from outside the line and hit one of the balls in the right corner.

Seeing that the situation on the court was not right, Foster was forced to leave the penalty area to help defend Suter in the next few rounds, but it was of no use. Remember clean dunks with both hands.

In the second round, Suter misplaced Foster in the middle and raised his hand to assist Stephen Jackson who was under the basket for a one-handed dunk.

When Suter hit the pick-and-roll misplaced breakthrough for the third time, Foster, who could not keep up with the lateral movement speed at all, could only choose to pull a foul with a depressed face.

Foster's lateral speed is too slow, one of the slowest starting centers in the league.Suter only needs a change of direction to get rid of the defense easily. To Suter, his movements are almost slow-motion replays. This is much easier than Parker's pick-and-roll dislocation in the parallel world. up.

During the dead ball, Carlisle replaced Foster helplessly. As long as the big center is on the court, Suter will either break through with the ball or catch the ball and jump.Always take cover on Foster's side, fight against Foster's point endlessly.

Not to mention the floor-flowing Foster, even if you give the Pacers a peak capital, it is impossible to do better on the defensive end.

Big Ben: "..."

After the substitution, the Pacers still had to arrange two players to deal with Souter, otherwise it would be impossible to prevent his quick shot.

Another insider of the Eagles is Rasheed Wallace, who has a very stable shooting ability. He and Derek Anderson can stretch the formation to the extreme at the same time. Perform double-teaming.

If you want to pinch Souter on the weak side, you have to reduce the defense of point guard Steve Nash. This is an unsolvable problem with no answer at all.

For a guard of Steve Nash's level, it is difficult for the Pacers to send a single defense, let alone give him enough room to start.

After the "Big Injustice" Foster left the field, the Pacers' inside height once again fell into a passive position.

The "team soul" Reggie Miller kept running to open up space, but Derek Anderson chased and defended very timely. The Eagles didn't need to change defenses inside, and they could keep an eye on their own people to improve their defensive strength.The Pacers players repeatedly passed the ball and never got a chance, and they could only fall into extremely inefficient individual singles.

However, the point difference between the two sides did not widen too much. The Pacers' role players stubbornly bit the score. Naturally, they were not gorgeous enough to play, but they were pragmatic enough.This section mainly depends on the performance of Fred Jones and Kenny Anderson.

Fred Jones scored 9 points in a single quarter. He was able to break through with the ball and catch and shoot. He made a strong three-pointer in the counterattack. His performance in this game was better than "Streetball King" Smash Parker .

Parker's state was extremely sluggish, making zero shots in a single quarter and making three turnovers.

When players are in poor form, today Parker looks like he is sleepwalking. He can't find his aim at all when shooting, and he always loses his rhythm when dribbling.

他三节打了18分钟，7投1中，三分球3中0，只得到2分2篮板2助攻1抢断的数据。

Unless Smush Parker goes crazy in singles next, it will be difficult to score in double figures.

作为老鹰替补席上最具攻击性的后卫，斯马什-帕克在今年季后赛里场均可以砍下11.4分2.3篮板2.1助攻和1.1次抢断，投篮命中率为46.8%，三分球命中率为31.2%。

In the last two games against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Smush Parker scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 15 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Next, the performance is not inferior to the starter, and he played a very eye-catching performance.

But today, Smush Parker's game state is obviously a bit bad. If the performance of the starters is not strong enough, the Eagles are likely to be hung up by the Pacers.

Suter scored 4 points in the second half, made a mid-range shot, and an air-cut dunk after a pick-and-roll. He scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.Two of the passes triggered the rare badge "Magician", both of which assisted his teammates to make outside shots.

The 10 assists have almost tied his personal record of 11 assists in a single game, and this game looks promising to set a new high.Six of his assists came to Stephen Jackson, and he was able to show his face on the five best balls of the day just by passing the ball.

The cooperation between Souter and Jackson has become more and more tacit, and I really don't want Jackson to leave the Eagles.

The two played for the Eagles, and it was difficult for opponents to defend against their "mad dog counterattack", and the Pacers, whose defensive efficiency ranked among the top three in the league, were no exception.They have every chance to win the championship together. If Jackson leaves, the Eagles' striker strength will be greatly weakened.

The benefits are not without, without Jackson, Suter's tactical status will become higher, and various statistics will be further improved.But compared to these petty profits, Suter still hopes that Jackson can reach a new contract extension with the Eagles this summer.

　Thanks for the reward and support of mediocre Taoist brothers, thank you very much, the youngest is clasping his fists!
