I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 73 73. A thrilling double-double mistake, an unintentional death block!The craziest death block in history!

Back from the second half of the game, when Suter saw that he only made two turnovers in the first half, Suter couldn't help reaching out to help his forehead, obviously a little worried.

Since the ball control attribute was upgraded to C+, Suter rarely dropped the ball when cutting inside. After all, the stealing ability of inside players is limited. Even if Pau Gasol has excellent defensive awareness, the entire first half only caused Suter made two mistakes.

Thinking that he had to make eight turnovers in the second half to achieve a triple-double, Suter couldn't help but start to have a headache.

Don't think that it is relatively easy for a player to make mistakes on the field. It is definitely a technical task if he wants to make ten turnovers without being taken off the field in advance by the head coach.

When players make frequent mistakes on the field, they are likely to be seized by the opponent to counterattack. This situation is definitely something that no head coach can bear.

Especially for a player like Suter who basically doesn't need to control the ball on the offensive end, and only needs to create scoring opportunities through off-ball cuts, ten turnovers can be called a devastating performance.

However, for the reward of 5000 berserk points, Suter was still prepared to risk his life, and gritted his teeth to make a few more mistakes without affecting the team's victory in the game.

"Damn, I really don't know how those players with double-figure turnovers in a single game play. Do they use their feet to control the ball? Butts to judge the game?"

The first wave of offense in the second half was initiated by the Eagles, but when the Grizzlies players settled down at halftime, the home fans discovered that the Grizzlies had made some adjustments in the defensive formation.

Instead of man-to-man defense like in the first half, it changed to a two-three defense.

The formation of the two-three defense is that two defensive players stand on both sides of the free throw line, with the basket as a parallel line, and three defensive players stand on the left and right bottom corners plus the penalty area.

The main function of the second and third joint defense is to block the penalty area, each person is responsible for defending an area, and through the movement and coordination of the whole team, to make up for the lack of personal defense.

The Eagles not only played many wonderful fast-break counterattacks in the first half, but also caused some troubles for the Grizzlies in the positional battle.

Especially for Nash and Suter's pick-and-roll, once the attack is successfully launched, it will be difficult for Williams and Pau Gasol to withstand the offensive with their defensive abilities.

The reason why Suter was able to score 21 points in the first half of the game, except for the big center Charledis who was called out of the penalty area by Wallace, the main reason was that Gasol couldn't defend against Suter's air one-on-one. cut.

As long as Nash can successfully pass the ball to Suter after the pick-and-roll, all Gasol can do is either foul or watch Suter toss the Grizzlies inside and score with a burst of two-handed dunks. .

The second and third joint defense can not only make up for the lack of Paul Gasol's lack of defensive ability, but also allow the big center Charledis to stay in the penalty area and make up for the lack of the Grizzlies' defensive end through teamwork.

However, in order to limit Suter's frequent bombing at this point, the Eagles often encounter opponents switching to the second and third defenses this season. So far, the Eagles have accumulated a lot of experience in breaking through the second and third defenses.

And the biggest flaw of the second and third defenses is that the defense at the free throw line is too empty.

Since the main function of the second and third defenses is to defend the penalty area, only two players on the high line are responsible for the defense, and they must always keep an eye on the 45-degree three-point line position, so there will definitely be flaws in the area of ​​​​the free throw line.

Knowing this well, Suter didn't need Steve Nash's reminder at all. After the pick-and-roll, he moved sideways one step to the free throw line.

"Precise CIC, turn on!"

After receiving the pass, Suter did not hesitate, and immediately turned on his skills to make a precise mid-range shot. Before James Posey on the wing came up to defend, he made a steady jumper from the free throw line.

"唰~", 58:45.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and seeing the Grizzlies switch to the second and third defenses as soon as they came back in the second half, Suter will naturally not be used to the Grizzlies.

Suter's mid-range shooting attribute is already B-, especially the free throw line position is quite accurate when facing an open shot. After turning on the precise mid-range shot, once the defensive player does not jump in time, Suter can basically do it without missing a shot. .

The Grizzlies attack, "White Chocolate" Williams breaks through the defense with the ball, uses James Posey's off-ball screen, and transfers the ball to Pau Gasol on the left in a wide range.

The latter raised his head and aimed at the basket, facing Souter's personal defense with a mid-range shot, the rebound was picked off by Stephen Jackson who rushed out from the side.

The Grizzlies retreated very quickly and did not give the Eagles a chance to defend and counterattack. It seems that during the intermission, the Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown must have made very strict arrangements for this point.

In desperation, the Eagles could only be forced to fall into position.

In the positional battle, Nash continued to play pick-and-roll with Suter at a high position. After the pick-and-roll, Suter still chose to catch the flaws in the Grizzlies' second and third defenses, and moved laterally to the center of the free throw line. Before the defensive players caught up, Suter He made a decisive shot and steadily hit the second mid-range jumper in the second half. 60:45.

"Pretty!"

"If the game continues like this, the Grizzlies must be very uncomfortable, and the second and third defenses that were changed in the second half will also become a joke."

"The vulture's mid-range shot is really getting more and more stable. Compared with when he first entered the league, the vulture has made great progress now."

"Until now, I can't believe that the Vultures will fall to the second round of the draft and just happen to be selected by the team."

Looking at Suter who made two consecutive mid-range shots, assistant coach Mike Woodson couldn't help but let out a sigh. Until now, he still feels that the Eagles have had a once-in-a-century shit luck.

A player selected with a second-round pick is actually better than LeBron James, who was well-known in the United States as early as in high school. This probability is even more bizarre than winning the lottery.

Nodding slightly, Stotts was in the same mood as Mike Woodson, and he couldn't put it down for Suter.

The usage rate has even surpassed Rasheed Wallace and Stephen Jackson. He is the core of the Eagles' well-deserved offense, even if Suter's identity is just a rookie who has entered the league for less than a year.

"The Vulture's success is no accident. This guy is more committed than other players, both on and off the court."

"A player like the Vulture, even if he was not selected by the Eagles in the draft at that time, he will definitely stand out in the future."

However, before Stotts and Woodson finished speaking, Suter made a very low-level mistake on the court.

I saw that the Grizzlies' offensive end passed through multiple transmissions, and finally Mike Miller made a three-pointer. Suter, who protected the backboard, seemed to want to launch a counterattack immediately, but when he raised his hand to charge back , accidentally slipped his hand and caused the ball to fall out of the baseline, adding a mistake for no reason.

A mistake like this kind of butter hand is definitely the lowest level of mistake in the NBA, especially when no one is interfering, it is simply the subject of the five big embarrassments, even if the five big embarrassments have not been developed by O'Neal.

Looking at the dejected Souter in the backcourt, who looked like he blamed himself, Nash came over and patted Souter on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged, man, it's just a mistake. It's a normal thing on the court. Even I make these low-level mistakes a lot."

"There is nothing to regret, we will win this game."

Looking up at Nash who was in a good mood, Suter stretched out his hand and beat his chest in self-reproach.

"Oh, what a pity."

"???"

Three question marks appeared above his head. Stephen Jackson, who happened to be passing by, saw the arc of Suter's mouth, and couldn't get in touch with the word regret in his heart.

"I don't know if I should say something." With a hesitant expression on his face, Jackson stared at Suter with a strange look, which made people feel scared.

"Fuck off!"

Suter kicked Jackson viciously, and waved and cursed jokingly.

The Grizzlies attacked, and James Posey finally seized the offensive opportunity this time, throwing off Stephen Jackson's defense by running, and hit an open three-pointer from the right bottom corner, 60:48.

This three-pointer can be regarded as solving the urgent need of the Grizzlies. Otherwise, once the Eagles attack the offensive end, the Eagles are likely to use a wave of climax to increase the score to more than 20 points.

Falling into position, Nash and Souter wanted to repeat their old tricks and continued to attack at the mid-range free throw line. However, they were scored by the Eagles twice in a row. The Grizzlies are now very sensitive to the position of the free throw line.

Before Suter moved to the free throw line after the pick-and-roll, James Posey started to move to this side ahead of time, apparently trying to block Suter's shooting in this area.

Seeing James Posey's defensive action, Suter didn't even think about it. He almost didn't pause in his hand, and directly transferred the ball to Derek Anderson's hand at 45 degrees to the left.

The latter hasn’t participated in any offense since he came back from the second half, but in the face of an open shot, Derek Anderson showed no mercy. Pulling it up at 45 degrees is a three-pointer, which once again widened the difference between the two teams. 15 marks.

Seeing that the Grizzlies are getting unfavorable, Suter is obviously anxious, for fear that the Grizzlies will play a wave of offensive and take away the game, making this game enter the garbage time ahead of time.

In this way, the task of getting a triple-double in anger is doomed to fail, and the 5000 rage point will also slip away quietly before his eyes. Thinking of that scene, Su Te's heart hurts so much that he can't breathe!

"Fuck, what about the strong Western Conference team that was agreed upon, why is it at this level!"

"Hold me, Grizzly! I really don't want to clock out in three quarters!"

There was a cry in my heart. The current scene strengthened Suter's determination to seize the mistake, otherwise he might clock in early and leave work at any time.

In the next period of time, Suter started his own "star-level" turnover performance, and every time he made a mistake, he directly knocked the ball out of the baseline, causing the game to enter the stoppage stage, preventing the Grizzlies from making mistakes to form a counterattack.

Similar to rolling out of bounds after catching the ball unsteadily, or falling to the ground with an unsteady foot, the ball rolled out of bounds logically. Suter’s repeated mistakes simply stunned the fans on the scene. Even the head coach Terry Stotts couldn't help frowning.

"What's the matter with this guy? Today, he has received the ball several times and made mistakes."

"It stands to reason that such low-level mistakes should not appear on Vulture. After all, before this game, his average number of mistakes per game was only 1.2, but now he has as many as 6 times!"

Hearing Terry Storrs' doubts, Mike Woodson on the side lowered his head and fell into contemplation, then stood up and asked tentatively: "Could this guy usher in his own rookie wall?"

Looking up at the technical statistics above his head, Stotts pointed to the scoreboard and replied: "Have you ever seen a rookie wall who scored 30 points in less than three quarters?"

"If it's hitting the rookie wall level, that guy Tim Duncan can really retire right there."

Scratching his "no hair left" bald head in embarrassment, Mike Woodson sat back in his seat embarrassingly.

"It's normal for rookies to perform unstable occasionally. Probably because we had too high expectations for Vulture, so his mistakes were infinitely magnified in our eyes."

"I think the coaching staff should properly relieve the pressure on the Vulture on the field, otherwise things like this lack of concentration are likely to happen in the future."

Nodding thoughtfully, Stotts felt that what Woodson said made sense, even though Stotts always felt that something was wrong.

At the end of the three quarters, Suter has scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks in the Grizzlies penalty area. Of course, the naked seven turnovers are also very eye-catching.

At the same time, although Suter surrendered a lot of low-level mistakes, allowing the Grizzlies to get some offensive opportunities for no reason, the Eagles still led the Grizzlies by 11 points into the final quarter.

In the first half of the final quarter, the two sides sent the second team to start a contest. Due to the painful lesson during the second quarter when the Eagles were all on the bench, Stotts was afraid to replace all the main players.

Instead, Stephen Jackson and Derek Anderson, who had a short rest in the second half of the third quarter, stayed on the court and continued to lead the team, and replaced Nash, Suter and Rasheed Wallace to rest.

According to Stotts' usual rotation method, Suter will probably reappear with more than six minutes left in the fourth quarter.

However, under the leadership of Stephen Jackson, the second team of the Eagles made great strides, and the Grizzlies couldn't lift their heads all the way. about,
If it weren't for Pau Gasol's early debut and consecutive hits, relying on his own personal strength to keep the Grizzlies alive, the Eagles might have already taken the game away.

Watching the "thrilling" offensive and defensive rounds on the court, Suter sat off the court with his heart in his throat.

Especially every time Stephen Jackson made a shot, Suter couldn't help clenching his fists, scolding all eighteen generations of Jackson's ancestors in his heart.

"Grass!"

"Dog J.ba Jackson, when he needs you, he will pretend to be dead. When he doesn't need you, he beats you like hell."

"He, mother, is a broom star! He is going to kill me!"

Suter can be said to be riding a tiger now, and he can only pray in his heart that the Grizzlies will hold on, so that he will continue to have the opportunity to play in the fourth quarter.

If the number of turnovers in this game is less than ten, not only will Suter not be rewarded with 5000 berserk points, but he will also increase his average turnovers per game this season, which will be a blood loss!
Fortunately, the Grizzlies did not intend to give up the game easily. Under the dream linkage of Pau Gasol and Mike Miller, the Grizzlies gradually recovered the point difference to about ten points, and continued to retain the suspense of the game .

And Suter, who was sitting in fear all the time, could not wait to confess Gasol and Mike Miller himself.

This his mother is not an opponent, this is simply one of his own!
Whenever Mike Miller hit a three-pointer from the outside, Suter clenched his fists excitedly. If the occasion did not allow it, Suter would have to wave the towel wildly for him no matter what he said today.

It wasn't until 6 minutes and 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter that Stotts took advantage of the dead ball stage to bring Nash, Suter, and Wallace back to the field. At this time, the Eagles still led the Grizzlies by 12 points. If you work harder, you can completely send the game into garbage time.

Looking at Pau Gasol and Mike Miller who were already panting heavily, Suter thought to himself.

"There is not much time left for me. It seems that I have to hurry up and send three turnovers, otherwise, with the current state of the Grizzlies, don't let my turnovers be stuck at nine in the end. That will really kill me!"

With the re-appearance of the main lineup of the Eagles, the Grizzlies, who had suffered a serious loss of physical strength, quickly became overwhelmed. They only lasted for just 3 minutes, and the Grizzlies took the opportunity to hit a wave of climax, quickly widening the point difference. to 20 points.

During this time, Su Te made two more mistakes with his actor-like acting skills. At present, Su Te's number of mistakes is exactly stuck at nine times.
Turning his head, looking at the head coach Terry Stotts who was ready to move on the bench, Suter admitted that he was terrified at this moment!
I'm afraid that the head coach will call a timeout at this juncture, and then take the main lineup off the court, announcing that the game has officially entered garbage time.

Based on Suter's understanding of Stotts, Stotts can definitely do this kind of thing!
At present, there are only more than three minutes left before the end of the game, and the Grizzlies have already held a lead of nearly 20 points. This makes Souter, who has sent nine turnovers, quite frightened, and can't wait to send another turnover.

With Pau Gasol coming out of the mid-range frame, the Grizzlies players have completely lost their fighting spirit, and they retreated to the backcourt with their heads lowered, giving up the fight for the frontcourt rebounds.

Suter, who took off the backcourt rebound, was afraid that Stotts would call a timeout from the sidelines. Without thinking about it, he looked up at Pau Gasol who was about to retreat to the backcourt. Suter raised his hand and threw the ball passed on.

silence!

In an instant, the entire Eagles stadium was silent, and no one knew what Suter was doing.

Pau Gasol, who received the pass, was even more stunned on the spot, looking up at Suter in front of him in confusion.

who I am?where am I?What does it mean?
After realizing it, when Pau Gasol reacted, the whole person was about to explode in anger. This was his fucking naked provocation!

After taking off the rebound and passing the ball to himself, and giving himself another chance to attack, this is more than provocation, it is simply too much deception!
Gasol, who was extremely angry, let out a roar, and sprinted with the ball from the free throw line. It seemed that he wanted to vent his inner anger with a dunk!

At the same time, Suter, who saw his mistake in double figures, was so excited that he wanted to jump up and celebrate. This feeling was like a lore at the last moment, which made Suter feel excited from the bottom of his heart.

But before Suter took action, when he looked up, he saw Gasol rushing towards him as if possessed by an evil spirit. The whole person was extremely angry, as if he wanted to block himself? ?

The brain didn't have any time to think. Seeing Pau Gasol who had already dunked in the air, Suter's body reacted subconsciously. He took off almost with all his strength and pressed his right hand firmly on the other side of the basketball. Pau Gasol under the buckle this time!
"boom!"

Accompanied by a head-on bang, Gasol, who was already physically exhausted, was directly pushed down by Suter's block and fell to the ground in a posture almost lying flat!
And basketball is like a kite with a broken string being slapped forward by Suter!

After a short period of silence, the entire Eagles home court erupted in deafening cries, and all the fans jumped up excitedly, venting their excitement and excitement frantically.

Some fans couldn't help but put their hands on their heads, stared at the big screen above their heads and opened their mouths, shocked by Suter's block just now.

"Ho! God!"

"What the hell did I see!"

"The Vulture took off the backcourt rebound and passed the ball to Pau Gasol, signaling Paul to continue to attack! This approach is just crazy!"

"What's even more insane is that the vulture jumped on the spot, blocked Pau Gasol's full-sprint dunk, knocked Paul to the ground, and staged this unexpected "death block" "!"

"Looking at the entire history, no one is more shocking than the vulture's intentional way of letting the ball!"

"There is also no block shot that is more crazy, wild, and violent than the vulture this time!"

"I would like to call the vulture's blocking this time the craziest in history!"
