Chapter 128 [A child who loves defense is not going to be bad]

The people in the Pacers locker room are relatively simple. They are all muscle monsters. In addition to discussing women every day, they discuss defense.In the words of Larry Bird: A defensive kid can't be that bad.

When Larry Bird said this to Su Xi, Su Xi frowned, and he thought to himself: How did the bad boy army come from?

To be honest, Su Xi is a little worried about the Pacers' announcement that he will take over Indiana with great fanfare. After all, Artest is the core of the team's perimeter now, so there won't be more troubles, right?
However, when Su Xi saw Artest, all his doubts were dispelled.

Artest was very unconvinced. He was selected by the Bulls and practiced for two and a half years. When he came to Indiana, the first thing he did was to change his jersey number from 15 to 23.Everyone knows what this move represents.

So, the first time I met Su Xi at the hotel, Artest stepped up and gave Su Xi a punch: "Hey, listen, kid. I didn't admit that you are the core of the team's perimeter. You bastard You'd better behave better, otherwise, I won't let you go."

These two sentences are very magnanimous, but from the meaning of the words, they express two completely different meanings.

Su Xi froze for a moment, then smiled.He reached out to give Artest a high five and a hug.Like a conditioned reflex, he reached out and touched the back of his head.

Ok?
The moment Artest was touched, it was like an electric shock, and he was stunned: This rookie actually touched my head?No one can touch Artest's head yet! ! !
However, he immediately felt the uncontrollable refreshment of his cerebral cortex.So, this arrogant and unruly tough guy even adjusted his position comfortably.

When he moved like this, Su Xi understood.Artest likes it, no matter how stubborn his mouth is, his body is very honest.

Su Xi let go of her hand, let's have a taste.

Su Xi then greeted and greeted Foster, O'Neal Jr., Clothier, Fred Jones, Bender and others one by one.Get to know each other well with the coaching staff.

After the trade, the Pacers' lineup changed.

Point guards: Suzy, Fred Jones.

Shooting guards: Ron Artest, Jamison Brewer.

Small forward position: Reggie Miller, Derrick Williams, Austin Croshere.

Power forward positions: Jermaine O'Neal, Alan Henderson, Jonathan Bender.

Centers: Jeff Foster, Scott Pollard, Primoz Brezek.

Among them, the positions of Reggie Miller and Ron Artest are often exchanged, and the second and third positions are not clear.In addition, Crohill, Alan Huntson, including Jonathan Bender, can play in the third and fourth positions.

With this deal clearing out a large number of guards, the Pacers appear thin at the first and second positions.In the fourth and fifth positions, a relatively deep lineup has been hoarded.

In the evening, Jim Carrey talked to Su Xi by candlelight.Due to the rush of time, he didn't have time for Su Xi to do a lot of tactical practice. He simply took the tactical book and the video to Su Xi to analyze the team's tactics one by one. He originally only wanted to tell Su Xi three or four common tactics. , the rest will come slowly.

But Su Xi's open-mindedness and eagerness to learn moved him, and he explained 11 sets in one breath.It was two o'clock in the morning, if Huang Xiaoman hadn't called for the third time to ask: Isn't it over yet?

Carlisle really didn't want to leave.

Suzy is so studious.

No wonder when I was studying, the teacher liked those Asian students the most. Just this learning attitude alone made those black brothers far behind.

Everyone has the gene of being a good teacher.

However, most of the time it is not activated.

Carlisle was completely activated, and he decided to communicate with Su Xi more about the tactical system in the future.

Saying goodbye to Carlisle, Su Xi also smiled.He fell in love with the atmosphere inside the Pacers on the first day, even though they all seemed to be not very intelligent.But Larry Bird was right: A defensive kid can't be much worse.

In the evening, Su Xi went to another room in the hotel, and he also made up extra lessons for Huang Xiaoman, the kind that he taught all of his money.

It refreshed him.

...

The Los Angeles Clippers became Suzy's first opponent to join the Pacers.

However, no one cares about their life or death.

Because the media is now focusing on the Pacers-Lakers battle.

Based on the two dudes played by Larry Bird and Su Xi at the press conference, another dude Wang Phil Jackson felt a strong crisis.He often likes to pretend to be indifferent. Ever since an Eastern reporter called him a Zen master, he has stopped speaking in front of the camera: "You don't know who is swimming naked until the tide goes out. The loudest person in the room , is often not the strongest one.”

This sip of chicken soup for the soul is a collective climax of the Los Angeles media.

That's right, our Zijin giants haven't spoken yet, what do you Pacers call a bunch of mud legs?

Our super F4 lineup hasn't made others confident yet, you just got a lamb Suzy, and you want to rule the NBA?

All of a sudden, the Los Angeles media played their acerbic high-level satire, and satirized Larry Bird, Su Xi and others well.

However, their advanced sarcasm doesn't do anything for the Pacers.

Los Angeles media conscripted crusade, the Pacers across the river still sang backyard flowers.

On the bus to Staples Arena, Jonathan Bender is showing off a grown-up dance he learned at a Washington strip club during his last away game.His movements are voluptuous, displaying his unique talent for coordination.

Bender was the No. 99 pick in 5, with a height of 213. His playing ability is excellent, and his skills are very comprehensive. In Carlisle's words, I have never seen anyone with better skills than him.He has the agility and agility of a guard, as well as the impact of a forward. He can complete the crotch dunk from the free throw line. He broke Michael Jordan's scoring record in the McDonald's High School Student Competition in high school.

Therefore, he brought his talents to the NBA after graduating from high school.

Some people say he is the second Garnett.But if there is a time machine and you can travel through the future to take a look, someone will definitely call him the last Giannis Antetokounmpo.

It's just that in 2003, the pace of the game was not as fast as it would be in the future, and the intensity of the game was much stronger than 20 years later.He is often put in the third position as a surprise soldier.

However, he suffered a serious injury last season and lost two pieces of cartilage in his knee.This poses a serious challenge to his playing time and athletic performance.

But that didn't stop him from showing off his soft figure on the team bus.

Su Xi covered her forehead, and Larry Bird's words kept lingering in his mind: A defensive kid can't be that bad.

Who would have thought that Jonathan Bender went to an adult club to learn pole dancing.

Major center Jerry Foster took out a handful of US dollars and stuffed them into Jonathan's pants. Artest and others followed suit and stuffed US dollars into Bender's pants.

"Hey, Jack. This is our team culture." Reggie Miller gave Su Xi a face, and then handed Su Xi a few dollar bills.

This is a detail.Others gave tens of dollars, and O'Neill even took out 100 dollar bills.

Su Xi took the dollar, and he bowed to the Pacers' team culture.He stuffed the money into Bender's collar.

Then, he couldn't help but said, "Jonathan, when will we fight two heads together."

Su Xi is really fond of Bender's coordination ability. The big man of 213 has such strong physical performance ability, and he is still on the bumpy bus. One can imagine how powerful this guy's body control ability is.

"This is another service, Jack." Jonathan Bender raised his eyebrows: "Additional fees are required!"

what?
Su Xi was a little unresponsive.

"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding. If we have a chance, let's play." Bender was very hearty.

I have to say that the atmosphere of the Pacers is really good.

Compared with the Cavaliers, they are more open, inclusive and united.

Is that why they got No. [-] in the Eastern Conference?

Su Xi couldn't help thinking so.

...

Although he was laughing and joking outside the court, he had a lot of fun.

But when it comes to the game, it becomes a completely different look.Everyone resorted to brutal means.

Su Xi led the Cavaliers to play the Clippers before and won, but it was not easy.

After joining the Pacers now, it's like taking a hammer... and hitting the tofu stall with a bang. Not only did the tofu shatter, but the tofu stall also collapsed.

The Clippers didn't form a decent attack at all. They were like a dead fish unable to resist life, lying on the chopping block, letting the Pacers play.

How to properly describe this game?

Before this game, Corey Maggette averaged 20.7 points, Elton Brand 20.2 points and 11 rebounds, Quentin Richardson 17.4 points.

But in this game, Maggette made 19 of 3 shots and 9 points.Captain Brand made 21 of 5 shots and scored 13 points. Quentin Richardson made 15 of 3 shots and scored 8 points.

The civilian version of the Big Three joined forces to pay tribute to the blacksmith.

Su Xi just joined in, although the offensive end is still getting used to it.But on the defensive end, it really made him understand when he played with Artest, Xiao Ao, and Afu.

He and Artest hit the goal with double ghosts on the outside, plus the invincible Wei Bat King Reggie Miller, Quentin Richardson and Corey Maggette hand in hand to send 10 steals, none of them shot in the middle They're on the right beat.

Captain Brand on the inside is also quite uncomfortable.He doesn't have much advantage against Foster. In this case, Su Xi will make things worse.After cleaning up the outside line of the Clippers' tragic talk, he frequently went deep into the penalty area to flank and steal.He is fast, explosive and ruthless.

The defensive end and the Pacers are a perfect blend.

Sublimated together.

Su Xi no longer has to worry that there is no one behind him to defend, no longer has to worry about wiping other people's ass and no one will end it, and no longer needs to move back and forth like a mobile pile.

The Pacers finally don't have to wipe their ass for the No. 1 position. Kenny Anderson and Tinsley are the weaknesses of their entire defensive system.Now here comes Suzy.

In Suzy's 24 minutes on the court, the Pacers allowed the Clippers to score only 29 points.

The Clippers only scored 69 points in the game.

Of course, the Pacers themselves only scored 89 points.

Su Xi scored 12 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 7 steals in this game.

very comprehensive.

罗恩阿泰斯特拿到15分3助攻6篮板6抢断1封盖。

They explained to the world what is called airtight defense.

After the game, Quentin Richardson lifted his clothes like a pussy and complained to the media: "Is this playing ball? They move too much!"

He blamed the Pacers' defensive intensity.

But in fact, the Pacers' defense is very clean.

It's just that both of their defensive champions are too strong.

It's normal for a soft guy like Quentin Richardson to be unable to handle the lamb Sushi and boxing champion Artest.

Corey Maggette didn't complain outside, he was bitter, so he didn't say anything.

"Quentin is a child, he should save some of his coquettish energy for the female star Brandy." Artest responded to Quentin Richardson after the game.

very polite.

Byrd was right, defensive kids aren't much worse.

After killing the Clippers, the Pacers pointed their guns at the Los Angeles Lakers.

The only team with three consecutive championships in this century, they formed Super F4 this season.Before the start of the season, many people believed that in the NBA finale, the championship was already in the Lakers' pocket.No team can wrestle with them.

But now, here comes the defensive kids.
