knife point guard

Chapter 121 [In the name of the law]

Paul Silas took a fair approach to two young talents.

It is to let Su Xi play with the ball for 5 minutes first, and then hand over the tactical power to LeBron James.

Although this made James very dissatisfied, he thought in his heart that Su Xi could never be compared with him and could not share the ball with him.The power he has should be given to him by himself: I can give it to you, but you can't take it away.

However, many things have changed.

Su Xi has built trust in the team through so many games in the past.He scored a quadruple-double in the first game and led the team to counterattack and win.Then when James and Davis competed, he was playing tactics silently with his teammates.

When James was expelled and suspended, he was improving his tacit understanding with his teammates.

Su Xi has established a good chemical reaction with most of his teammates.

James couldn't stop Suzy from taking possession of the ball.

Su Xi played very well in the first 5 minutes of the game. He led the team to confront the Pacers.

When Su Xi left the field in the sixth and a half minutes, the Cavaliers led by 15 points 12:3.

Subsequently, the Cavaliers entered LeBron mode.

James was competing with Ron Artest crazily tonight, except that Ron Artest said that his defense was three grades worse than Su Xi and made him angry.Ron Artest also directly stole him once, and threatened Su Xi: Jack, my steal data is exactly the same as yours.

This made the Chosen One rage from the bottom of his heart.

Ron Artest actually looked down on me so childishly!
He actually used the king as a prop for him to compete with Su Xi?
James tried to get the ball from Su Xi and went straight to singles.

But after Su Xi gave him once, she didn't continue to give him, but told him: "You have missed too many opportunities."

James gritted his teeth in hatred.

What does it mean that I have made many mistakes?
The whole knight is mine. The last usurper, Ricky Davis, was exiled. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?

Su Xi played according to his plan.

The Pacers don't feel good tonight, and this Eastern powerhouse relies heavily on jumpers.

Moreover, they failed to form an effective combination of Suzy's impact tonight...because they had to focus on James.

After Su Xi left the field, James finally took charge.

He continued Su Xi's style of play, and he played very well.He is also willing to pass the ball and unite his teammates.

Boozer felt ridiculously good tonight, and he even extended his range beyond the three-point line.This posed a great challenge to O'Neal's defense.

Ilgauskas stands like a huge mountain on the edge of the penalty area, and his projection also makes Foster powerless.

Larry Bird is sitting on the sidelines, and what he is planning now is a very distant thing.His brows were furrowed: If our insiders can't do anything to Ilgauskas, it's even more difficult to deal with Yao Ming.What about Shaquille O'Neal?If we reach the finals, how should Shaquille O'Neal deal with it?
In fact, Bird made a deployment. He used Brad Miller to trade Scott Pollard with the Kings.Brad Miller was already a quasi-All-Star player before the trade, and Scott Pollard was useless except for changing his hair and beard shape every now and then.Why did Bird make this deal?

Because Scott Pollard played an important role in the 02 Western Conference Finals.That is the Western Conference finals that Kings fans have been brooding about so far. They said that if the referee does not show obvious favoritism, the Kings may break out of the series that won the championship in the Western Conference.The Lakers escaped in Game [-] because of the referee's penalty issue, and killed the Kings in Game [-]...a big reason is that Scott Pollard left the game early with six fouls in Game [-].

He's a professional who does the dirty work.

Although it is unrealistic to expect him to defend O'Neal, his fierce rushes, fouls, desperate blocks, and competition for ground balls are all reasons why the Pacers are willing to pay a quasi-All-Star.

However, after he came to Indiana, his performance was mediocre, and he has not yet found the key to fit the team.

God knows if he will ever find it.

Another problem for the Pacers: Too much reliance on jumpers and a lack of impact.

But this problem, Larry Bird is confident to solve, the answer lies in Cleveland.

The game goes on and on like this.

The first quarter was over quickly.

The two sides scored 23:24.

The Cavaliers led by 1 points.

Playing with the Pacers, you have to be prepared to score only [-] or [-] points in the game.Although they are not very proficient in offense, but you don't want to be proficient in offense in front of them.

The game continued in the second quarter, and Su Xi still stayed on the bench to rest.

He and Carlos Boozer, who came off the field, said: "In any case, we must win tonight."

Boozer initially thought Suzy was just doing a normal morale boost.But when he saw Su Xi's extremely serious eyes, he realized that Su Xi was not just talking.

But, can they beat the Pacers?They are number one in the East.They just took a nap in the first quarter of the game. When they get serious, we can't stop them.

And... Jack, why are you so obsessed with beating the Pacers?

During the long and arduous regular season, it is impossible for every opponent to go all out, so many times, teams will strategically give up some games.For example, tonight, the coaching staff did not give the players a lot of matchup information before the game.On the one hand, it is because the Cavaliers have replaced new players, and the most important task now is to integrate them.But on the other hand, it's hard not to say that he gave up the game.

Boozer turned around, and he saw Suzy say to Stephen Silas again: "Stephen, we must win this victory."

Silas had similar doubts.

LeBron James' cooperation with Tony Batty on the court is not bad. Batty gave James the most solid cover, and he is good at interrupting the continuity of Artest's defense.

James frequently went inside, bringing great challenges to the Pacers.

In the 3rd minute of the second quarter, he completed a wonderful Tomahawk dunk.

The entire Gund Arena is boiling: worthy of being a king!This is our king!
LeBron James played well on the court, and Paul Silas simply let Su Xi rest on the bench.

Paul Silas tried his best to get James and Suzy back together, which is a good thing for the entire team.

Moreover, he felt that this was an emotional battle between two teenagers, they played so well before.It could be that Jack's recent brilliance has made LeBron jealous.After a while, it will reconcile as before.

However, the Pacers soon found a way to limit James.

With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, LeBron James went to the basket and was chased by Artest. He was forced to take a road he was not good at. He jumped out and pinned the basketball to the backboard with a slap.

Artest was like a shepherd dog, driving James into the trap, and O'Neal completed the final blow.

When the first block was completed, fans at Gund Arena thought it was an accident.

But the second block pulled James' basketball straight out of bounds, and people realized that LeBron had entered a dead end.

And, after the re-serve, between LeBron James' hesitation, Artest steals his basketball and passes it to Tinsley, who launches a fast break for a layup in the frontcourt.

"Jack, I'm one steal ahead of you now."

Artest turned his back, and he proudly extended a finger to Su Xi.

Paul Silas quickly called Su Xi's name, and he said to Su Xi: "Go up and help LeBron."

He hopes to use this method to repair the relationship between Su Xi and James.

But it backfired, LeBron James frowned: Is this looking down on me?I was robbed and blocked, so you quickly go to Su Xi the lamb, do you think the Chosen One is inferior to him?
Suzy received a pass from Kevin Ollie in the frontcourt, and he quickly crossed the half.

Tinsley stepped forward to trap Su Xi.

He is a more intelligent player on the offensive end.

But Su Xi just accelerated and knocked him away, and then released his explosive power suddenly, and slammed into the basket fiercely.

Artest didn't dare to attack, Reggie Miller didn't move, O'Neal was pulled away by Tony Batty, and Suzy jumped up to complete a powerful one-handed dunk.

Su Xi stopped the decline of the Cavaliers with dunks.

There were some cheers in Gund Arena.

Although not as loud as James' dunk with the tomahawk before.

The game continues.

Tinsley dribbled the ball across half court, and he suddenly showed his skills at the top of the arc...He, like Kenny Anderson and Ron Artest, was born on the streets of New York.So the ball handling skills are gorgeous, but his talent is far inferior to Kenny Anderson when he was young.

When he made a cross back and forth and completed another in-situ top spin, Su Xi pressed up... Crack!
Seeing the opportunity, he directly broke his basketball.In the face of absolute strength and absolute sensitivity, this technique is useless.

"Gorgeous."

Su Xi left a comment, and took Tinsley's basketball to the front court.

James made a quick attack from the left, and Tony Batty also accelerated behind him.

At the same time, the Pacers' defense is very fast.

Larry Bird sat up, he was concentrating, he wanted to see how Su Xi handled this quick counterattack.

Suzie reached the three-point line in an instant, he used a quick change of direction to completely shake Tinsley's gambling steal, he went straight into the penalty area, and he made it difficult for Artest and O'Neal to make defensive judgments.

He continued to go deep, until he was about to enter the reasonable collision zone, and suddenly made a pass to the left, and Artest and O'Neal moved at the same time.

However, the basketball did not pass out. Su Xi's big hand grabbing the basketball was just a fake action. After the two defenders and attackers were deceived, Su Xi took advantage of the opportunity and threw the basketball behind him, quickly avoiding it.

Tony Batty received the basketball and jumped up. There was already a smooth road in front of him...Boom!

He completed an extremely violent dunk with both hands!

The rim was bombarded fiercely by Tony Batty, shaking up and down.

The Gund Arena is boiling again.

"Good job, my lord commander."

Tony Batty jumps off the rim and heaps praise on Suzy.

He has just arrived and doesn't know the current internal power struggle of the Cavaliers.He is actively getting closer to Su Xi: "As expected of a super rookie with a quadruple-double in his first show."

Suzy smiled.

James' face on one side is quite ugly.Su Xi used him as bait again this time, did she tease the king like this?
Moreover, Tony Batty's words also made him "suddenly realize", that is what he meant by getting a quadruple double.

The game continues.

The second quarter ended quickly.

With Su Xi on the field, the Pacers' defensive attention was distracted, and the Cavaliers once again took the initiative, leading by 46 point 45:1 at halftime.

Back in the locker room, the atmosphere was slightly silent.Only Tony Barty excitedly told Su Xi how comfortable Su Xi's pass was just now.

Moreover, he also introduced to Su Xi his firepower distribution on the offensive end.

This in itself is a very normal thing. It is always right to have a good relationship with the point guard when you are new to the team.

But the problem is that the atmosphere inside the Cavaliers is a bit complicated.

The game continued in the second half.

Originally, Paul Silas wanted Tony Batty to adapt for a while, but his conversation in the locker room obviously made James unhappy. Paul Silas didn't want James to be unhappy.

I don't want the conflict between Su Xi and James to expand.

Arrange the starting lineup normally.

The game was played flat.

The efficiency of both sides is not very high, and the Cavaliers have maintained a lead of one or two points.

In the third quarter, Su Xi played for 6 minutes and then took a rest.

James led the team and also had a good output.

Until the start of the fourth quarter.

Reggie Miller came up and threw two consecutive three-pointers, and the Pacers took the lead in an instant.

James was robbed by Artest in the process and was blown out for another walk.

The Chosen One, who has been hailed as a 'young man', has just passed his 19th birthday after all.He's starting to get hotheaded, he's hitting like crazy, he's doing a lot of damage, but he's struggling at the free-throw line.

The brain is congested and the muscles are congested, causing the ordinary free throw feel to decline one after another.

Paul Silas originally wanted to give James a chance to show his face, so he kept pressing Su Xi.

But James missed opportunities one after another.

Seems to be entering garbage time.

As a head coach, no matter what, you have to make a last-ditch effort.

What's more, Su Xi is now one of the core of the team.It is impossible to justify not letting him go up at the critical moment.

So, at the 5th minute of the fourth quarter.

Suzy went into battle.

He walked onto the court and directly pulled his teammates together: "We are going to play some tactics..."

Carlos Boozer, Jason Kapono, and Ilgauskas are all beside Su Xi, following Su Xi's instructions.

James was standing at the free throw line, and he didn't get past.

boom!
James hit the iron with his second free throw.

Ilgauskas, stuck Foster.Su Xi entered from one side and leaped high. Under Artest's aerial confrontation, he touched the basketball first. He pointed out, and then bounced again with explosive power surpassing Artest, and the basketball Dial directly to the bottom corner of the three-point line.

Kapono waited for a long time.

He catches the basketball and makes a direct shot... Shua!

hit.

The Cavaliers recovered 3 points.

Only 6 points behind.

All of a sudden from the edge of garbage time back to normal rhythm.

At this time, when Su Xi returned to the defense, he deliberately walked towards James.

He has something to say to the king.

In the name of the law.
