From today on is the king

Chapter 179. Chapter 178.
Artest had no choice but to pass the ball to O'Neal.

Jermaine O'Neal's ball-handling skills are very good, from the front to the back of the basket, he is good at mid-range shooting, but there is a very key problem that the shooting rate is very low, and the shooting rate in singles is far lower than that of catching and shooting.

Jermaine O'Neal leaned back towards Muhammad, trying to turn around and cut to the basket, but Rahim completely let Artest go, and stood behind Muhammad and waited for Jermaine O'Neal to turn around.

Iron!

Ratliff on the inside skillfully turned around and stretched his arms to hold down Artest and Foster who were rushing to grab the rebound. Raheem received the defensive rebound and handed it to Jason Terry.

Raheem went berserk today!

……

Today is the game where Raheem showcases his talents in an official game that people will pay attention to!

From the beginning of the game, Raheem took the initiative on the field, playing a dominant performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

Among all the players present today, Rahim's ability value is much higher than all of them!

The strongest of the Pacers is Jermaine O'Neal, who has an ability value of 85 and has not yet reached his peak. Although Jermaine O'Neal is in his sixth season, he is only 23 years old. He is not as old as rookie Tinsley on the same team. He is not yet the super power forward who can average 24+10 and close to three blocks per game in the future. Gao, right now, Raheem is far ahead of O'Neal in terms of points, rebounds, assists and even blocks.

Artest, whose average data per game this season is less than one-third of Raheem's, may be half of Raheem's by the end of the season. His ability value is only 78, mainly in terms of physical fitness and defensive awareness, and he is not strong enough to guard against Raheem, a first-class scorer who averages 24 points per game. He is still far from the peak.

Tinsley is very talented. As a streetball player, he handles the ball well and has a passing sense that is rare for ordinary streetball players. But he is a rookie after all. His ability value of 67 is not bad, much higher than that of Parker in his rookie year.

Foster... is mainly responsible for Shuai.

Reggie Miller, the Pacers' pinnacle, is responsible for key shots and opening up space in regular time to allow others to have good offensive opportunities in the mid-to-short range. But if he is to be a tough player against Raheem, it is not easy for a 37-year-old to score 15 points on the court by shooting three-pointers from running positions. Now he still has an ability value of 83, which is all based on shooting.

The strength of the Pacers can threaten the sixth and seventh positions of the 76ers and the Raptors in the Eastern Conference, but it is enough to threaten the fifth Magic in the Eastern Conference. The Eagles already have a clear advantage in strength.

In addition, today Raheem wants to prove himself, to prove that he is worthy of the All-Star starting position he wants!

Jason Terry chased Reggie Miller from the outside line like a wolf dog looking for meat, and he didn't relax for a moment. Defensive pitchers don't need good defensive ability, the main thing is to keep up, and that's enough!
Both Jermaine O'Neal and Artest are only 22-three, at least two to three years before they reach their peak, and they still don't have the ability to create a defensive gap for a strong interior defensive team.

On the offensive end, Raheem began to do whatever he wanted. If Artest or Jr. O'Neal had reached the peak, Raheem would not be so easy in the interior.
In the first quarter, Raheem scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks!

Seeing that Boss La is working so hard today, Liu Mang took the initiative to pick and roll with Raheem after he came on the court, and then passed the ball to Raheem. Five or six times out of ten, it can be an assist, while the other three or four out of ten, it is because Raheem went to the basket a little more, which is not counted as an assist.

33+9 in the half, Raheem continued to run wild!

From the very beginning, the Eagles relied on Rahim's dominance at both ends of the attack and defense in the middle and short distances, and kept leading the score, and continued to widen the point difference.

If it was the Pacers with more than 60 wins coached by Coach Carlisle two years later, the Eagles would probably be terrible, but now this is a young Pacers coached by the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas who doesn’t know what to do except smile most of the time.

……

……

Some people must have found Rahim's wild words interesting, and some people looked at his data and thought that he might have the ability to say these words.

But the vast majority, more than [-]% of the people, saw Rahim's remarks and reacted with ridicule, and even directly rant!
In today's game between the Eagles and the Pacers, in view of the recent excellent performance of the Pacers, especially the performance of the suddenly famous Artest, they are all waiting to see Raheem's jokes and waiting for Raheem to be guarded by the Pacers.

Everyone is waiting for the result of this game. Since there is no nationwide live broadcast, the local Indianapolis TV station has a live broadcast but cannot be seen elsewhere. These days, there is no such thing as a text live broadcast. These days, people don’t even have the awareness to watch live broadcasts on the Internet.

So we are all waiting for the news after the game. There is no other important game today, or in this boring middle of the season, there is nothing else worth paying attention to. How Raheem is doing is the most interesting and most concerned topic right now.

2002年1月9号晚上9点25分，老鹰队和步行者队的比赛结束后第一时间，NBA官网公布了比赛结果。

When most people opened the website with the mentality of watching a good show, they were all dumbfounded!

"Raheem scored 50+ in the first place and led the team to beat the Pacers"

The simple and rude title directly tells the process of the game.

With 53 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks, Raheem scored a new career high!

When Rahim scored 45 points and 15 rebounds after the first three quarters, everyone on the Eagles knew that their team was going to have a 50+ scorer!

After the start of the last quarter, everyone on the Eagles gave the ball to Raheem. In the third minute of the last quarter, Raheem scored 3 points with a turnaround jumper, helping the Eagles to open the point difference to 53 points. The Pacers called a timeout and announced their surrender.

The Eagles may not be one of the top teams in the league, but they are No. 8 in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and their strength advantage is still obvious.

The Smiling Assassin originally planned to take advantage of Raheem's psychological fluctuations and play badly, and use Artest for a first wave. As a result, Raheem's mentality really fluctuated, but it was not an explosion of mentality, but toughness to an unprecedented height, and he began to truly lead the team to victory as a top star.

Liu Mang had so many assists today, he had 8 assists in a single game, setting a new personal high!
After scoring 53 points, Raheem did not accept Emmanuel's advocacy to score 60 points. After the Pacers surrendered, he left the game, and his single-game score was fixed at 53 points!
People looked at the flag that Raheem "himself" set for himself with unfriendly eyes, but Raheem proved with practical actions that he has that ability!

Many fans who were originally neutral just couldn't understand Raheem being so "arrogant". The news about him was everywhere on the Internet and on TV, and they just felt uncomfortable. Now seeing Raheem's performance, they all feel, why don't they vote for him?Anyway, it doesn't cost money...

　Sure enough, there are a lot of things to do at the end of the year, so let’s do it today, go to KTV to drink, and have more on weekends~ Fortunately, I can keep my full attendance today, otherwise I will lose my full attendance for a month, and I will really lose my head.
