NBA: Dynasty simulation, starting with a mid-range shot

As a small forward, Artest naturally became Su Xia's direct opponent.

And the entire Pacers team is particularly confident in Artest's defensive ability.

After all, Artest's perimeter defense ability is obvious to the entire league.

Artest naturally knows how terrifying Su Xia's offensive ability is, so Artest began to study Su Xia's video frantically before the Eastern Conference Finals.

So that he can complete the defense against Su Xia in the game.

In the last game, Artest did succeed in part.

Although he did not completely restrict Su Xia, he did prevent Su Xia from breaking out.

It's just that the Su Xia he faced today is different from the last game.

Su Xia held the ball and looked at Artest in front of him.

Then without any fake moves, he suddenly lowered his head and broke through to the right.

Crossover!

Artest made a judgment in his mind at the first time.

This is his experience based on the video.

Although Su Xia's crossover is very sharp, it is not impossible to defend.

Artest first stuck to Su Xia's body, then moved away from one side of the basketball, and began to block Su Xia's control of the ball with his palm.

Crossover stepping past the opponent must inevitably change the center of gravity back and forth.

This also means that the basketball needs to be constantly transferred between the left and right hands.

As long as the body is stuck on one side, the other side uses the palm to block the transfer of the basketball.

This can greatly limit Su Xia's crossover stepping past the opponent!

This is also the strategy Artest used to defend Su Xia in the last game.

After Su Xia felt Artest's defensive position, a sneer flashed across his mouth.

The next second! Su Xia suddenly stopped.

Then he quickly pulled the basketball back, and Su Xia tapped his feet while the basketball was flying.

The whole person seemed to teleport, and the distance between him and Artest was almost instantly pulled away.

Now Artest is more than one meter away from Su Xia.

Su Xia did not hesitate at all, and raised his hand to shoot a mid-range shot.

Swish!

The basketball went into the net crisply!

Artest on the opposite side was confused!

Didn't we agree to crossover?

How did it become a step-back jump shot?

No! No!

This doesn't look like a step-back jump shot!

At this time, Artest clearly felt that his brain was not enough.

And Carlisle, the head coach of the Pacers on the sidelines.

He was also the guy who had given Su Xia a hard time in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game.

Although he was taught a lesson by Su Xia in the end, Carlisle obviously holds a grudge.

It can be seen from the strict defense of Su Xia in the last game.

And just now, after Su Xia's step-back jump shot.

Carlisle yelled at the referee immediately, indicating that Su Xia's attack just now was a traveling violation.

Su Xia just used the most famous 012 step-back in Harden's step-back series.

This step-back was also the most famous weapon in Harden's step-back arsenal in his previous life!

The reason is that this step-back shot directly refreshed people's cognition.

Because it was not until Harden used this 012 step-back shot.

People discovered that the rules in the NBA rules specifically formulated for breakthrough layups actually also apply to the step-back.

It was also the first time that people knew that the 012 step-back rule was not only for walking forward, but also for walking backward, left, and right.

At this time, the referee also felt that his brain was down.

Although Su Xia's step-back just now looked very much like a traveling violation.

But the referee's instinct made him feel that it was not a traveling violation.

Because if there is a traveling violation, the entire offensive process will appear very fragmented.

And Su Xia's entire offensive process just now was extremely smooth, which was completely unlike what a traveling violation should look like.

Finally, the referee made a judgment.

He indicated that he needed to observe the video playback.

When he saw the referee walking towards the technical table, Su Xia felt that he needed to remind the referee.

Otherwise, this 012 step backwards, which appeared for the first time in the NBA, would definitely be judged as a traveling violation.

"Hey! Mr. Referee, 012 rule!"

Su Xia didn't say much, just simply reminded the referee.

The referee was stunned for a moment, turned his head and continued to walk towards the technical table.

This is a step backwards, not a breakthrough layup!

What the hell is the 012 rule~

Thinking of this, the referee couldn't help shaking his head, with a speechless smile on his face.

Then he began to carefully observe the replay video.

Gradually, the referee frowned.

The offensive process is really smooth!

ButIt really does look like a traveling step!

The referee felt that his brain cells were burning crazily for a moment.

Suddenly! Su Xia's words just now appeared in the referee's mind!

012! 012!

Suddenly, the referee's confused eyes suddenly burst into light!

Yes!

It's really 012!

After the referee remembered Su Xia's words, he looked at the video again and suddenly felt enlightened.

But doesn't the 012 rule apply to breakthroughs?

The referee was entangled for a while.

Isn't it right?

Suddenly the referee reacted, who said that the 012 rule only applies to breakthrough layups.

The original purpose of the 012 rule was just to determine whether it was a traveling step.

And it applies to breakthrough layups, but people have accumulated over time and subconsciously think so!

In the NBA rules, it has never been said that the 012 footsteps cannot go backwards!

After figuring this out.

The referee looked at the video replay again, and saw Su Xia's sidestep.

He felt refreshed.

What a wonderful step! It was just like a waltz!

The referee couldn't help but look in Su Xia's direction.

This rookie is going to defy the heavens! What a genius!

It's okay that he's good at basketball!

He actually knows NBA rules better than a referee like me!

The referee smiled speechlessly, then took the headphones off his ears and put the display screen on the technical table.

Then he walked towards the court with firm steps.

Perhaps from the moment he made the penalty, some gears would turn.

The referee walked onto the court and directly indicated that there was no problem with Su Xia's offense, and there was no traveling violation.

When the Pistons heard this, they all laughed excitedly.

On the other hand, the Pacers were directly blown up.

"Shady deal! I will definitely file a complaint against you!"

Carlisle walked quickly to the referee, stared at him fiercely and said.

"Of course! If you have any questions about my judgment, you are welcome to file a complaint with the league after the game!"

"What I can tell you is that I did strictly enforce the game according to NBA rules, so please return to your seat"

The referee had an iron-faced expression on his face, and he was not at all flustered in the face of Carlisle's questioning.

Seeing the referee so determined, Carlisle had to glare at him angrily.

But he had already made up his mind to file a complaint against him after the game.
