I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 45 45. No one can stop my coming this night!
In this game, the Pacers' starting lineup is: Jamal Jensley, Reggie Miller, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and center Jeff Foster.

The Eagles are still the same: Jeff McGinnis, Derek Anderson, Stephen Jackson, Suter and Rasheed Wallace.

After the start of the game, the centers of both sides stood in the middle circle to jump the ball, and Rasheed Wallace helped the Eagles take the lead in getting the first wave of offensive balls.

Before the start of the game, Stotts told the players in the locker room the precautions of the game. In order to help Suter take the lead after the opening, the Eagles took the lead in attacking from Suter's point.

With the ball through the half, McGinnis and Suter run the pick-and-roll in the high post.

At present, the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two has become more and more proficient. Even though McInnis is far from being an excellent point guard, he can't hold back as long as McInnis dares to pass and Suter dares to fly after receiving the ball. Dunk.

Suter's decisiveness and violence on the offensive end are definitely the perfect partner that no point guard can refuse.

After all, sometimes, McGinnis's assists should not be too easy, and the ease even made Jamal Jensley next door cry.

As we all know, although O'Neal's scoring ability is very strong, he is a well-known "cake-spitting machine" in the league!
Unlike Suter's violent style of play, where he catches the ball and pulls it up to hit Huashan, O'Neal always likes to dribble twice before turning over and jumping after receiving the pass from the guard.

And this kind of incoherent scoring action will not bring assists to point guard players, otherwise Jamal Jensley, who has averaged nearly 30 minutes per game this season, will not have only five assists.

In contrast, McGinnis sent 9 assists and 12 assists in these two games when he came to the Eagles, and he reached the pinnacle of his life in an instant.

Using the pick-and-roll, Suter perfectly kept Pacers point guard Jamal Jensley behind him, creating more room for McInnis to operate.

Jamal Jensley was a rookie selected by the Grizzlies with the 2001th pick in the first round of the 27 NBA Draft. Shortly after being selected, Jensley was traded to the Pacers by the Grizzlies.

This season is Jensley's third year playing for the Pacers.

Jensley is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He is definitely strong at the point guard position, but Jensley's biggest flaw is his slow lateral movement.

Runs around the pick-and-roll as hard as "Old Fish" Fisher, and often has to rely on the delay of the big man to barely keep up with the defense.

Seeing that Jinsley failed to keep up with McInnis when he was going around the pick-and-roll, O'Neal, while keeping his eyes on Souter, took a big step to the left to prevent McInnis from pulling up and making a sudden shot.

But McGinnis's first option on the offensive end will always be to feed the vultures who cut inside.

What's more, the opening tactic deployed by the Eagles coaching staff in this game is to try to attack around Suter.

While Jermaine O'Neill took a big step to the left, McGinnis made a direct pass and passed the ball to the Vulture who cut inside.

However, Jermaine O'Neal, who weighs only 103 kilograms, moves quickly as an agile insider. When Suter received a pass from McGinnis, O'Neal was already stuck on Suter's breakthrough route in advance.

"It's not that easy to get past me!"

Looking up at Jermaine O'Neal, who reacted quickly, Suter didn't stop at all, and turned left directly to the direction of the penalty area, and at the same time opened the offensive distance between himself and Jermaine O'Neal.

Suter's turn this time can be described as smooth and flowing. He didn't pause at all when he made an air cut to the inside, and he turned around quickly and caught O'Neal by surprise.

Before Jermaine O'Neal made a full defense, Suter turned over and hit a jumper from close range.

"Shu~"

2:0
As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, O'Neal was shown off by Suter's turning skills at the beginning of the game, which made O'Neal a little upset.

"hateful!"

"You guy can't be more aggressive around the pick-and-roll?"

"I don't want to see another bad defense like last possession!"

Gazing at Jamal Jensley with an innocent face, Jr. O'Neal expressed his dissatisfaction with the latter.

Hearing Jermaine O'Neal's reprimand to him, Jensley, who has no status in the Pacers, was upset, but he could only grit his teeth and nod in recognition.

When returning to the defense, Suter, who was passing by O'Neal, happened to see this scene, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and spread his hands innocently at O'Neal.

"Sorry, I didn't hear what you said in my ear just now."

"But, it's that easy to get past you!"

The arrogance shown by Suter made Jamal Jensley, who had just been reprimanded by O'Neill Jr., feel happy, but O'Neal Jr. was livid with Souter's appearance.

"You're so arrogant, brat!"

Jermaine O'Neill's fierce gnashing of teeth, just combined with his innocent baby face, makes people feel ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

"Arrogant?"

"There will be more arrogant ones in the future!"

Knowing that Jermaine O'Neal's mentality is not mature enough, and he is easily influenced by emotions on the court, Suter continued to fan the flames with a smile on his face.

"Damn!"

"I swear, you will die in this game! Damn kid!"

The Pacers attacked, and Jamal Jensley had just brought the ball across the half court when Jermaine O'Neal stuck his back to Souter, gnashing his teeth and opening his hands to ask Jensley for the ball.

"Pass me that damn ball!"

"I want to teach this ignorant kid a lesson!"

The Pacers are also a team that wins on defense this season, but unlike the Detroit Pistons, the Pacers' offense is obviously better.

Except for Artest, who averaged 18.3 points per game on the front line, once the Pacers can't start a positional battle, they will basically hand the ball to O'Neal, allowing O'Neal to use his personal ability to end the offense.

As the player with the third most shots per game in the league this season, O'Neal can ask for the ball in isolation under any circumstances.

Even a rigid "academic coach" like head coach Rick Carlisle will not stop him. After all, O'Neal's low-post singles can be regarded as one of the most frequently used conventional tactics by the Pacers this season.

After receiving the pass, Jermaine O'Neal waved his hand to signal the others to pull away to create a better singles space for himself.

On the Hawks side, Suter also reached out to signal his teammates not to double-team, so as to avoid being found by the Pacers to find an open shot.

Especially Reggie Miller, who made 40% of his outside three-pointers, was always eyeing him. In this case, it is not a wise choice to double-team Jermaine O'Neal.

O'Neal's weight is only 103 kilograms. He has been in the league for so many years, and his weight is even lighter than Suter.

Although Jermaine O'Neal's core strength is more stubborn than Suter's, but if it is head-to-head, Suter will not suffer any obvious disadvantages in terms of strength or speed.

According to the reminder of the Eagles coaching staff, the most important thing to pay attention to when defending O'Neal is offensive skills, especially the turnaround jumper on both sides of the basket, which has become the biggest offensive weapon in O'Neal's career.

He pushed Souter hard with his back twice, and O'Neal naturally failed to create an offensive opportunity through physical confrontation, but this behavior was completely a foreshadowing for O'Neal before turning over and jumping.

In the most intuitive terms, O'Neal's confrontation is to find his own offensive rhythm.

Following the continuous physical confrontation, O'Neal caught the moment when Suter's body leaned back, quickly turned around and raised his hand to make his signature turnaround jumper.

Jermaine O'Neal is [-] meters tall, and his wingspan has reached an astonishing [-] meters. Under normal circumstances, it is basically difficult for Jermaine O'Neal's turnaround jumper to be blocked head-on.

However, Suter's bullet speed is very fast. The first time O'Neal turned over and made a jump shot, Suter stretched out his arm and covered O'Neal's shooting route.

"boom!"

Although Suter did not send out a block on this ball, he successfully interfered with O'Neal's shooting, causing the latter to turn over and hit the iron with a jumper.

To be honest, compared to Karl Malone's tough guy with amazing muscle latitude, Suter prefers to defend the agile insiders like Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh. After all, apart from a slight disadvantage in strength, Suter's biggest The biggest advantage is agility.

"Strike, the Condors made a successful defensive effort on Jermaine."

"This time the vulture's bullet speed was very fast. Even though the vulture took off to block the shot after Jermaine turned over, he still blocked Jermaine's jump shot!"

Seeing his turn-around jumper hit the iron, Jermaine O'Neal shook his arm dissatisfiedly, and signaled to the referee that Souter's defense hit his wrist this time.

In order to reason with the bottom line referee, O'Neal even gave up the opportunity to return to the backcourt.

However, the referee naturally doesn't care about this kind of afterthought behavior. If he can hold back from throwing a blank stare at O'Neill, it is already considered a touching quality.

In the CBA, this kind of white-faced complainer will become a technical offender every minute!
Protecting the backboard, Rasheed Wallace immediately handed the ball to the defender to launch a counterattack.

A large part of the reason why the Eagles' offensive efficiency this season can rank seventh in the league is that the Eagles are good at playing defensive counterattacks and can basically seize every fast break opportunity.

Once the Eagles can improve the offensive efficiency of positional warfare a little bit, the Eagles are likely to play the top five offensive efficiency in the league this season.

Launching a counterattack to the forward court, McGinnis looked at the six lanes and analyzed all the passing routes on the court that could effectively score points.

Seeing Stephen Jackson take the lead like a mad dog, McGinnis threw the ball over with a long pass.

However, on the Pacers side, Artest's return to defense was very fast. The first time Stephen Jackson received the pass, Artest used his burly body to stick it up.

"You dare to challenge my defense!!"

Artest's deafening roar made Jackson think that he seemed deaf for a while, especially since Artest's body was tightly pressed against him, and the sound basically exploded in his ears without warning.

Stephen Jackson is already considered mentally strong without performing a stand-up blow.

"What the hell are you doing so loudly!"

Artest's defensive area was fully covered, and Jackson, who was in a fast-break counterattack, couldn't find a good offensive opportunity for a while, and turned his head to quickly observe the target of "throwing the pot".

After all, an excellent fast break organizer will always pass the ball to the player who has the best chance of scoring.

Well, in fact, Stephen Jackson was very sincere and was taken aback by Artest's voice.

Otherwise, if you just plunge into the basket and force yourself to get up, there is a great chance to cause Artest's defensive foul.

From the corner of the eye, he saw a figure behind him sprinting forward at full speed. Stephen Jackson was overjoyed for no reason.
While throwing the ball high into the sky with his right hand, Jackson roared heart-piercingly.

"Shoot him, Vulture!"

"Seize this dog mother for me!"

Seeing Stephen Jackson's alley-oop, Suter, who was sprinting at full speed, did not stop at one step.

Even though Artest in front of him had turned his head and looked at him fiercely, Suter still jumped one step ahead of the free throw line, and Artest was about to stage a ferocious dunk !

"No one can stop my desire to score this night!"

"Bang!"

As a loud noise rang in everyone's ears, Suter grabbed the ball in the air with one hand, and then dunked the ball hard into the basket with both hands!
Artest, who was originally standing under the basket with a fierce face, seemed to be waiting to block the shot, stepped aside and took the initiative to make room for Suter's alley-oop dunk.

Artest's disarming speed was very fast, faster than being pushed six meters away by Big Ben!
He really deserves to be the role model of my generation who knows the best timing among the best defensive players!

"I suffer from anxiety, and it's not easy to control my emotions on the court! But the miracle is that the moment I saw the vulture dunking, my illness was cured!"

At the same time, Suter's alley-oop, which was about to dunk ferociously across Artest, caused the live commentator Bill Wharton to laugh out loud.

"The Vulture completed such a shocking and brutal dunk from the very beginning, he really deserves to be the guy who has dunked the "big shark"!"

"At first, I thought I could see the scene where the vulture dunked Ron Artest, but Ron's disarming speed was amazing."

"As soon as the vulture touched the basketball, he quickly dodged to avoid being dunked and causing fouls."

"I have to say that Ron's defensive choice this time is very alert, but if the dodge speed is a little slower, there is a high probability that it will become the best background board for this game!"

After landing, Suter excitedly tore his jersey in the direction of the Pacers auditorium. Above his head was the basket shaking up and down and screaming!

Using the roar to vent his excited personal emotions, Suter was like a red-eyed beast. When returning to defense, he let out a low growl in the direction of the Pacers bench!
"No one can stop my coming this night!"
