I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 88 88. Woodson who took over the coach, the suspension is lifted, Atlanta, your beast, is back!
"Move sideways, move sideways, go faster, don't give the defensive players any chance to react!"

"Shoot decisively, don't hesitate and try!"

"Shu~"

With the team in the training hall, Suter made a mid-range emergency stop jumper after receiving a pass from Steve Nash after a pick-and-roll.

"Beautiful! That's it!"

"Shooting must be decisive. If the offensive end wants to deceive the defensive player, it must first deceive itself."

"The emergency stop jump shot tests not only the shooting touch, but also the physical coordination and tough psychological quality."

"Only if you don't even know what you're going to do next, the defensive player will be confused by your offensive choices!"

During the suspension, Suter practiced jump shots every day with the help of Kevin Quicks. On average, he made at least a thousand pull-up jump shots every day.

At present, 20 days have passed since Suter was suspended. Suter is also becoming more and more skilled in grasping the timing and shooting movements of emergency stop jump shots.

Especially with the quick shot after the pick-and-roll with the defender, Suter has been able to switch flexibly between shooting and breakthrough. It is not so much a deliberate thinking of the brain, but a subconscious reaction of the body.

Suter's mid-range shooting is already very good, and as an inside player, Suter moves quickly laterally. After the pick-and-roll, he only needs to move laterally to the sides of his body to create a good shooting space.

Once the defensive player chooses to defend closely, Suter's strong personal explosive power can form a breakthrough facing the frame, and few people can keep up with Suter's first step.

Looking at the entire league, there are only a handful of inside players who can keep up with Suter's movement speed while defending closely. Even if the body barely keeps up, it is easy to be killed by Suter head-on.

After all, Suter's real killing method on the field is the air cut after the pick-and-roll. The emergency stop jump shot that he has practiced hard recently is just to have more offensive options during the air cut.

When the defensive player can't predict whether Suter will choose to drive to the basket or pull up a jumper after the pick-and-roll, this is undoubtedly an extremely bad thing.

In particular, the Eagles also have Steve Nash, a top point guard in the league who can both attack and shoot, on the back line, which makes it difficult for defensive players to form a pincer attack on Souter.

Otherwise, Steve Nash, who seized the opportunity, will definitely use his superb outside shooting to give his opponent a brutal fatal blow!
There is no doubt that Suter is gradually evolving from a beast player, from a blue-collar insider when he first entered the league, to now he can serve as the core backbone of a team.

Even if the efficiency of Suter's emergency stop jump shot is not stable enough, once this offensive method can create a threat for the opponent, Suter's offensive end will obviously become more comfortable.

And Suter also made a comparison in the training game. When he turned on the precise mid-range shot, the hit rate of the emergency stop jump shot would be greatly improved. Good offensive efficiency.

This discovery made Suter a little excited, which means that when the game enters a critical moment, Suter is fully capable of killing the game through personal offense.

Compared with the past, where he could only rely on point guards to launch an offense, even if Su Tong pulls everyone away and singles out his opponent, he will definitely not make the offense fall into embarrassment.

Suter's explosive power and fast movement speed under his feet, coupled with the badge of the button master, encourages Suter to fight physically with his opponents from the side, which makes Suter's face-to-face breakthrough very threatening, even more powerful than later generations' " "The Beast" Harrell is much sharper.

Today, even if Suter can't find an open shot in one-on-one singles, he can also choose to step back and make a quick stop jumper by virtue of his threat during the breakthrough process.

Especially after turning on the precision mid-range shot, Suter's offensive threat is definitely the top existence among the Beast players.

Even the peak "Rain Man" Kemp would not dare to choose individual singles at critical moments, let alone choose emergency stop jumpers on the offensive end, because the biggest drawback of Beast players is that it is difficult to take over the game at critical moments.

However, the development of Suter's emergency stop jumper, coupled with the skill of accurate mid-range shooting, undoubtedly makes Suter's one-on-one singles ability stronger. Duncan kills the game like that!
This is why the Supersonics' "Rain Man" Kemp's average data per game in the past two years is obviously better than that of "Glove" Payton, but the outside world generally believes that Payton is the supersonic star.

The same is true of the Clippers, which fans call the "City of Alleys" in later generations. The personal data of "White Warcraft" Griffin has been better than that of Chris Paul for several consecutive seasons.

But when people mention the Clippers, everyone will think that this is Chris Paul's team, and Paul is the soul and star of this Clippers team.

As for the "White Warcraft" Griffin, at most it can only be regarded as the "ticket responsibility" during the regular season. Once it enters the playoffs, it has to look at "Big Heart" Chris Paul.

What Souter has to do now is to try to get rid of the shackles of the brutal power forward. In addition to playing on the court with the best, wild and passion, he also has to find ways to constantly improve himself.

At least when the opponent chooses to focus on himself, Suter has more ways to kill the game, instead of blindly charging inside.

After taking the towel handed to him by his teammates and wiping his sweat, Suter felt that he had made remarkable progress in the recent period. Although he was unable to play with the team, the training effect of Kevin Quicks was very good.

If I continue to train at this pace, I will definitely become stronger after my comeback, which will bring a big surprise to everyone outside.

Looking at Suter who has made great progress recently, Nash put his arm on Suter's shoulder casually, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face: "You guys are really a monster. I have never seen any player who can play in the regular season. There has been such a big improvement over the period.”

"Honestly, I miss you so much and look forward to the day you lift your suspension, it's so hard for me to play without you!"

Recently, Steve Nash's life has also been difficult. The team suffered successive defeats, which not only caused the head coach Terry Stotts' reputation to collapse and the crisis of getting out of class, but also involved the history of the previous outstanding performance. Steve Nash.

To paraphrase the words of the Eagles fans, I originally thought that the arrival of Nash saved the vultures and made the vultures play better and better on the field.

But now it seems that it is obvious that the vulture saved Nash. Although Nash, who left the vulture, performed well, he completely lost the ability to lead the team to win.

Comments like this on the Internet made the lonely Steve Nash miserable.

After Suter was suspended, the Eagles replaced Boris Diaw with only one starting game, and replaced him with Chris Crawford, who averaged 10 points and 4 rebounds per game this season. .

As a white insider, Crawford's shooting ability is very good. Not only can he cause damage at the mid-range position, but his offensive range can extend beyond the three-point line at most.

It's a pity that Crawford's athletic ability is simply too weak. After the pick-and-roll, Crawford can only act as a high-post fortress, either shooting from the middle distance or retreating to the three-point line to open up space. , In short, there is no ability to bomb the basket inside.

This also led to Steve Nash after the pick-and-roll can only choose to break through the inside, making a choice between personal offense and breakthrough points, basically losing the opportunity and position of outside shots.

Since the two inside players, Crawford and Rasheed Wallace, already have a good shooting range, if Nash does not choose to break through to the inside, the entire Eagles will not have the ability to tear the defense at all.

Coupled with Suter's absence, the Eagles' best defensive counterattack is also greatly reduced. Once the team cannot play an effective defensive counterattack, Steve Nash's assist data will naturally drop.

Everything made Steve Nash extremely painful on the court. Without Suter, Nash seemed to lack the soul of the passing end.

Although passing to other teammates can also end the offense at a farther position, compared with Suter's feeling of reaching the "stomach" in one step, Nash always feels that something is missing.

After hearing Nash's words, Suter turned his head and smiled lightly: "Come on, actually, I am also looking forward to the day when I bomb the rim again on the court!"

----

For the next period of time, Terry Stotts still failed to find a way to help the team win, and suffered two consecutive losses, causing the Eagles' record to 18 wins and 20 losses and falling out of the top eight in the East.

Hawks general manager Rick Sander couldn't bear to fire Terry Stotts, and the position of head coach will be temporarily held by chief assistant coach Mike Woodson.

After successfully taking over the coach from Stotts, Mike Woodson was a little excited. This is the first time Woodson has served as a head coach in his coaching career.

At the press conference, Woodson deliberately sorted out his personal image. He was wearing a gray suit and a colorful tie. He looked energetic and looked like a head coach.

Looking at the many media reporters in the audience, Woodson first thanked general manager Rick Sander for his importance, and then talked about Suter, who is about to come back.

"Vulture is a very good player and I am very happy to continue to coach Condor as head coach."

"When I was still an assistant coach, I had already formed a relatively deep friendship with Vulture. I knew exactly what kind of player Vulture was, and I also knew how to stimulate Vulture's personal potential."

"The Hawks are a team full of vigor and vitality. We not only have potential, but also have the strength to hit the playoffs right now."

"Although the team has encountered some troubles for the time being, the team's goal this season will not change. It is to launch an impact on the playoffs, strive to play the performance that the team should play, and let the fans know this Eagles again!"

Mike Woodson's appointment has caused quite a stir in Atlanta, but it has no impact on the entire Eagles.

Woodson was originally the assistant coach of the Eagles, and has been in charge of the Eagles' defensive tactics and communication between players.

Whether the head coach is Terry Stotts or Mike Woodson, this is not a concern for the players at all.

What the players are most concerned about now is how many games before Suter can come back, and whether the team can end the losing streak and return to the ranks of the playoffs.

The consecutive losses not only caused the Eagles coaching staff to be questioned by the outside world, but also caused a lot of impact on Steve Nash, Rasheed Wallace and Stephen Jackson.

No one wants to lose, and no one wants to continue to return to the state of losing after experiencing the feeling of winning.

The Eagles now urgently need a victory to boost the team's morale and let the team's decadent spirit regain its state.

Suter's upcoming comeback is like a ray of hope, which keeps a ray of hope in the hearts of the Eagles players.

As the eagle's scoring leader this season, although Suter is only a rookie, Suter plays a very important role in the eagle's tactical system.

In addition to Steve Nash missing Suter very much, Rasheed Wallace also misses the days when he played with Suter.

Playing with Suter, Wallace only needs to stand outside the three-point line to open up space, and then take advantage of his long-arm shooting to cause damage in the mid-range and outside the three-point line.

But with Suter's suspension, Wallace feels very awkward whether he is partnering with Crawford or Boris Diaw during this period.

In many cases, due to the lack of lethality inside the Eagles, Wallace had to fall to the low post to fight with the opponent's center, trying to win free throws through strong body collisions, instead of habitually floating outside to cause damage.

This style of play undoubtedly made Rasheed Wallace very uncomfortable.

Wallace, who is not as heavy as Su Te Shen, does not like confrontation. Although Rasheed Wallace is not afraid of physical confrontation, it is not Rasheed Wallace who falls into the low post to fight with the opponent's center. strengths.

When Rasheed Wallace was forced to leave his comfort zone at the request of the coaching staff, it was almost half of Rasheed Wallace's life.

And Diaw and Crawford's ability to protect rebounds is also very poor, which makes Wallace have to fight for rebounds with the opponent inside.

Many times, fans can see the scene of Wallace standing alone in the penalty area and tying for three. The isolated and helpless scene makes the Eagles fans feel sore, and they also start to look forward to the day when Souter comes back.

Fortunately, there is only one week left before Suter's comeback, and the Eagles will be able to get through this dark and helpless day.

Suter is not the God on the basketball court, without the ability to save a team by one person, but at this moment, in the hearts of Eagles fans, Suter is the God of Atlanta, a beast God with brutal attributes hidden in his body !

----

On January 1, local time in the United States, as the Eagles lost away to the No. 24 Pacers in the East, instead of being immersed in an atmosphere of resignation, the entire team revealed joy and relaxation everywhere.

Because after this game, Suter's 15-game suspension was officially completed, and he will usher in a comeback in the next game against the New Jersey Nets.

After being away from the game for a month, fans can't help but want to witness Suter's death dunk on the court.

Hawks fans always felt like something was missing without the beast of Suter.

For Eagles fans who are used to ravaging the rim this season, Suter's absence is as bad as missing a seasoning packet in instant noodles, making it impossible to arouse the desire to taste the game.

Unknowingly, Suter has already occupied a very important position in the hearts of Eagles fans. Even though Suter is only a rookie who has entered the league for less than a year, Suter's wildness and passion when playing on the court are imprinted in the hearts of Eagles fans. Fans can't get it out of their minds.

Facing the reporter's interview, Suter, who will usher in a comeback in the next game, seems to be in a good mood. After answering multiple questions from the reporter in a row, Suter looked directly at the camera with a smile on his face before leaving the field: "Atlantic , your beasts are back!"
