I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 199 199. The outbreak at the critical moment!
In the third quarter, the Eagles only scored 17 points under the Pacers' wanton defensive harassment, but the players used tenacious defense to make the Pacers only score 20 points.

61:67, the Eagles trailed by 6 points and entered the final quarter.

Today's whistle is a bit off. Not only the Eagles fans who watched the live broadcast were dissatisfied, but even the two commentators who were responsible for the live broadcast of the game couldn't stand it anymore.

The Pacers' movements are bigger than hitting people, tearing jerseys, tripping people under their feet, and yelling fiercely at the face with their hands. As long as they are actions that people can think of, the Pacers basically use them today.

After the three quarters, the referee didn't whistle the Pacers for a malicious foul, and all the big action fouls were only whistled for ordinary fouls.As for some subtle pulling movements, the referee simply didn't see them. This kind of whistle-blowing scale is really a bit insane.

The commentator Mark Anderson said: "The referee of this game is almost becoming the protagonist. The whistle-off scales of the two teams are obviously different. As soon as the vulture has physical contact with the opponent, it will be whistled for a foul."

"On the other hand, it doesn't matter how Jermaine O'Neal collides. Artest and O'Neal often pull the vultures on the defensive end. They even tore their clothes once in the first half before barely getting to the free throw line. This kind of bragging It's unacceptable."

Partner Tom Horvath sighed: "Vulture said in an interview before that the Pacers are two teams at home and away. It seems that what he said is this situation. Their home whistle is too powerful. The performance of the players Definitely looked pretty tough."

Mark Anderson said: "Rashid Wallace didn't play for long today. As soon as the offensive end improved a bit, the referee called two fouls and sent him off the field. At present, Wallace and Jackson are both With four fouls on his back, that's bad news for the Hawks."

At the end of the three quarters, Stephen Jackson has only played a total of 19 minutes so far, and Rasheed Wallace has played even less time, with four fouls in 16 minutes. Some fouls will not let the Pacers Players get free throws, they are just stuck in a normal position when they are fighting for a rebound, but they are inexplicably called a foul by the referee.

The excessive number of fouls forced Wallace to often sit on the sidelines to rest, and Wallace's end played a devastating blow to the Eagles' inside rotation.

Whether it is Chris Crawford, Josh Davis, or "Big Bamboo" Bradley, none of the three can replace Wallace in ability, so when Rasheed Wallace When sitting off the court to rest, one can think of how difficult it is for Suter to support the team's inside line on the court alone.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the two sides fell into a "bang bang" iron fight. Suter didn't feel good in this game, and he didn't get too easy a shot.

The Eagles' two best offensive and defensive players except for Suter have both fallen into foul trouble, and their offensive and defensive threats on the court have obviously begun to decline.

Josh Davis' offensive ability is not good. After the screen, the Pacers will directly choose to double-team Suter inside and let Davis's shot go.

Even if Josh Davis receives a pass from his teammate in an air cut, the threat is not too great. On the offensive end, he is a typical rough guy who lacks passing awareness. He will not be able to quickly transfer the ball to the appropriate release position.

Chris Crawford's offensive ability is not bad, but his movement speed on the field is too slow, and his rebound protection and counterattack are very poor.

In the current situation, the Eagles are still behind in the score and need to improve the rhythm of the game as much as possible to regain the initiative in their own hands.

So when the team is behind, Mike Woodson will basically not send Chris Crawford on the field for too long. Only when the team plays with the wind, Crawford will replace Rasheed Wallace for a while time.

In order to strengthen the inside offense, Woodson could only choose to pick up Rasheed Wallace again, and told him to pay attention to his defensive actions, but don't leave the field early with six fouls.

With inside teammates attracting defense, Steve Nash immediately played a lot easier on the outside. Facing Jamal Tinsley's defense, he scored 6 points in a row, helping the team quickly narrow the score.

Both Souter and Wallace have the ability to draw defenders away, and as long as the Pacers' inside line is attracted by the two to the other side, no one will help Tinsley defend Nash.

Nash does not have too complicated offensive skills, nor does he have fancy offensive skills, but he has a good grasp of the rhythm of the game. He only needs to play a simple pick-and-roll with his teammates, and his teammates help him take away the extra defenders. Nash can complete jump shots from any position on the court,
As a defender who has been selected to the 180 club many times in the parallel world, Steve Nash's shooting ability is very good.Whether it is a breakthrough, a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, Nash's shooting hotspots basically cover the entire half of the court, which can be called a true offense with no dead ends.

Suter also played an important role on the court. He is not only as simple as attracting defenses, but also shoulders the task of protecting backcourt rebounds.

Since Rasheed Wallace has already committed 4 fouls, he dare not make too many extra upper body movements when fighting for rebounds. In this case, Suter can only give up the counterattack temporarily and put more The focus shifted to rebounding, allowing Stephen Jackson to take over his previous role and launch a counterattack upcourt.

Suter's rebounding ability is very strong, and he has an extremely accurate prediction of the rebound's landing point. Coupled with his terrifying bullet speed and reaction ability, the Pacers are not dominant in rebounding.

Even when Suter was all about rebounding, the Pacers didn't grab any offensive rebounds.

Reggie Miller missed a three-pointer under the defense of Anderson, and Suter immediately withdrew to the basket, his head flat framed in the air, and he suddenly grabbed the ball into his arms, and there was a crisp snap when he caught the ball with both hands. Loud, the action is so handsome that it explodes.

After incorporating Rodman's rebound sense fusion card, Suter's ability to grab rebounds has been significantly improved. He can immediately judge which direction the ball is bouncing by looking at the opponent's shot, and make a quick choice.

Before he knew it, his rebounds had reached 15, which was undoubtedly the highest in the game, and he still had a great chance to break his personal single-game rebound record and score a double 20.

With Rasheed Wallace hitting a three-pointer at 45 degrees from the left, the Eagles successfully overtook the score.The Pacers played steadily under the leadership of Artest and O'Neal. They used physical contact to make free throws many times, and they were in a stalemate with the Hawks point by point.

With 4 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game, Reggie Miller scored a three-pointer through consecutive off-ball runs, and the Eagles fell behind again 77:79.

After Crawford came on the field, he made two turnovers and was fouled by the Pacers. Mike Woodson couldn't bear it and let Crawford leave the field early to rest.Continuing to play is probably also a side effect. Today he has gained a lot of playing time, but he has made a total of 4 turnovers so far. His personal performance is really sorry for the opportunity Mike Woodson gave him.

In terms of lineup, the Eagles are already at a disadvantage. Woodson replaced Rasheed Wallace and Stephen Jackson at the same time.

At the critical moment, the "big heart" Suter stood up. With his teammates performing very average today, he received a pass from Nash through continuous off-ball screens, and forced a mid-range shot against the defense of two people. 79:79.

The two sides fought to a tie again.

The Pacers attacked, the Eagles strictly guarded the penalty area and breakthroughs, and let O'Neal take a high shot. O'Neal had another chance to make an easy shot, but he missed the shot with two long points. Suter protected the backcourt rebound and held it in his arms, waiting for Nash Come up to respond to the positional battle.

The commentator Mark Anderson said: "This is already the 18th rebound of the vulture in this game, 7 of which are frontcourt rebounds, 11 backcourt rebounds, and 18 rebounds set a new high for the vulture in a single game. But it looks like he might grab 20 or more today."

Partner Tom Horvath said: "The Vulture is very smart in playing. During this period of time, he didn't play fast breaks. He just settled down and landed. As long as the Eagles can open the formation in the battle of positions, there is no need to worry about a tie, because they are in the final stage. The physical strength is obviously better than the Pacers."

Stephen Jack opened the right corner, Derek Anderson attracted the defense at 45 degrees outside the left three-point line, and Wallace set up an off-ball screen for Suter in the left corner to help him get rid of the defense and go An air cut under the basket received a pass from Nash.

In this round of the series, Suter usually ran up the line to catch and shoot after relying on off-ball screens. However, his shooting feel was not good today, and he chose to hit the basket after getting rid of it.

At this time, it is more efficient to hit the basket, especially the advantage of a player like him who has excellent jumping and physical fitness can head-to-head with others is the most obvious.

After receiving the ball, he took a big step forward, jumped on one foot, and hit the ball with both hands and hit Artest who came to defend.

Artest was very contradictory at this time. If he did not foul this time, it would be difficult to defend. Suter jumped too high, and he could not block the block at all, but if he fouled, Artest would not Dare to play too hard.

He has had several controversial defensive actions today, and Suter said before the game that the Pacers' defense is too dirty, and also implicitly pointed out that the Pacers have the home whistle advantage.

Today the Pacers made twice as many free throws as the Eagles. If Artest dared to foul hard at this time, Suter might really beat him up.

This kind of thing is obviously justified by the other party. As long as it is reasonable, Su Te will definitely perform a full-scale martial arts with him, and he will punch to the flesh.

Artest didn't forget the scene where he was beaten up by Su Te. If he really wanted to fight, Artest was quite scared.

And today's whistleblowing standards are not so strict. Before the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, players were suspended for at most two games for fighting, and once the two clashed, they would definitely be suspended for both games.

The Eagles lack Suter and have four other starters who can score, including Steve Nash, who has been selected as an All-Star, and once the Pacers lack Artest, they can only play on the court. Only Jermaine O'Neal alone, plus at most Reggie Miller who has half a foot on the retirement line.

No one in the Pacers can replace his role on both ends of the offense and defense. As long as he plays one less game, the team will definitely be swept by the Eagles.

Su Te guessed right in his heart. Artest really didn't dare to hurt people maliciously at this time. Although he didn't have a bright mind, he was definitely not a fool.As long as he dares to maliciously hurt people in this round of the series, the second half of his career will basically be useless.

Artest was already lying on the league's blacklist, and any trouble in the playoffs may become a time bomb for his career.And Suter is not easy to mess with. Artest once fought with him, and he didn't take advantage of it. On the contrary, he was beaten into a pig's head by him at the All-Star Weekend.

It is said that Artest is the toughest villain in the history of the league, but Artest is also a bullying guy. Facing Suter, who once beat him violently, Artest really didn't dare to play too hard.

Hesitation will lead to defeat. Artest's bullying character is obvious, and he seriously underestimated the impact of Suter's frontal dunk. When Suter bumped into him sideways in the air, Artest's body center of gravity was not The controlled backward deviation made Artest realize that something was wrong, and it was too late when he wanted to foul.

Suter's center of gravity didn't change due to the body collision, he still leaned forward naturally, holding the ball with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket like a bully lifting a tripod, "哐"! 81:79.

The sideline referee did not whistle Artest's defensive foul, but Suter's dunk was successful.

After landing, Suter reached out and tore his jersey, while raising his head and screaming at the Pacers fans.

The home fans in the entire Indiana Arena were stunned, and even Artest himself was stunned for a moment, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, looking a little annoyed.

The commentator Mark Anderson shouted: "The vulture went crazy, he even dunked Artest! Facing Artest, who was two laps thicker than himself, he dared to dunk, and he dunked Artest in the air. Tester flew straight up, which is simply unbelievable!"

Partner Tom Horvath exclaimed: "Artest is one of the strongest strikers in NBA history, and he is also the best defensive player this season. The vultures can knock him away in the air. It's crazy. No wonder not even Ben Wallace is willing to block his dunk head-on!"

Mark Anderson said with a smile: "Ben is not the only one who praised his physical strength, but also Brand, who is also a power forward player known for his strength. The Vultures will not suffer a disadvantage against them. This time the Eagles will definitely It's on the rise."

Partner Tom Horvath said: "The next shot is critical. It depends on whether the Eagles can defend it. Jamal Tinsley still plays a pick-and-roll pass to O'Neal. There is a chance in the middle. The Eagles just let O'Neal shoot in this position. Unfortunately, , Jermaine O'Neal didn't make the shot, and the Pacers will be in big trouble now."

Jermaine O'Neal's long two-point shots are not as impressive as the turnaround jumpers on both sides of the rim. His jumper efficiency around 14-16 feet is very average, only in the early 40s.

In the parallel world, his mid-range shooting was slightly better in the 04-05 season, but it was not accurate enough this year.

Suter once again protected the backcourt rebound. When O'Neal made a mid-range shot, the Pacers' ability to rush to the frontcourt rebound was also average. As long as Rasheed Wallace was responsible for blocking him, Suter found The right direction can grab the ball with little effort.

In the Eagles battle, Suter started running from the right side, slid the bottom line to the left side, and he ran up the line with the help of Stephen Jackson's off-ball screen. Jackson's screen successfully blocked Artest.

The Pacers now have Artest, the best defender, to defend Suter, and O'Neal to defend Stephen Jackson. Carlisle has sent a lineup of three inside big men. Make more contact and earn free throws.

In fact, Jackson only needs to choose a one-on-one match, but he didn't shoot correctly today, and the dislocation advantage against O'Neal is not obvious, so he is more willing to pass the ball to Souter at the critical moment.

Artest's defensive awareness is very good, and he also works hard when defending Suter, but his tonnage is there after all, and his speed when going around the screen is obviously not as good as Suter.

Suter ran to the high position to catch the ball and immediately shot a jumper, which was almost the same as the position where Jermaine O'Neal just shot, ignoring the interference of Jermaine O'Neal who came to help defend and went into the net. "Shua", 83:79.

Suter scored his 21st point in the game. Although the score is not high, every goal he scored is a key goal.Under the joint blockade of "brainless" and "unhappy", Suter ushered in an explosion at the critical moment of the fourth quarter!
