knife point guard

Chapter 205 [It would be great if you had our physical abilities]

Carlisle looked at Susie and then at the court.

Su Xi was determined.

He was helpless.

But in the end...he didn't say anything high-sounding. He patted Su Xi on the shoulder: "Protect yourself."

At this point in the finals, who doesn’t want to win?
The only way the Pacers can win is to put Susie on the court.

When the Pacers fans in front of the TV saw Su Xi walking firmly towards the technical stage, everyone was filled with emotion.

After playing for a season, everyone knows about Su Xi's physical problems.

"We can't live without Jack now..."

Larry Bird sighed deeply in front of the TV. He could feel Susie's determination.

He didn't say anything pretentious in front of his boss. He just looked at the TV screen silently and firmly.Because he knows that if it were him or Jordan... he would have made such a decision.

They are of the same kind.

"Can we still win? Larry, can Jack still perform miracles?" The Pacers boss asked Larry Bird without confidence. His tone was like a believer kneeling in church praying for his wish to come true.

Full of guilty conscience.

The Lakers are just too powerful.

"Basketball is round," Larry Bird said.

At this point, he felt a little 'weak' again, and raised his head slightly and straightened his chest: "Believe Jack."

When Su Xi almost reached the technical stage, Venus Williams stretched out her hand to fist bump with Su Xi and said, "Come on, Jack."

Suzy nodded.

When the Pacers were serving, Suhi came on the court and replaced Reggie Miller.

It was still Kenny Anderson who dribbled the ball through half-court, but when Suhi came on the court, his defensive pressure suddenly decreased.

He took Derek Fisher in stride at the top of the key.

Kobe Bryant pestered Su Xi, and he still defended desperately.

He knew that Su Xi's first goal would definitely start, and once it started, it would be easy to form a strong resistance.Therefore, he must be contained.

However, Su Xi's running was too weird.

Looks even harder to track than Reggie Miller, and most importantly, Reggie Miller will go around his opponents when they encounter them.

Su Xi's method was to squeeze away directly, and no one could stop him.

When he quickly entered the penalty area, Kobe was a little anxious, and he was ready for Su Xi to turn back.

But unexpectedly, Su Xi dived into the penalty area and forced Luke Walton away.

Poor Luke Walton has no wiggle room at all.

Seeing Su Xi squeeze past Luke Walton and go to the left, Kobe quickly increased his pace and rushed to the left.

However, while Kobe was attacking to the left.

Su Xi actually squeezed out again, and Luke Walton was let in and out at will like a public toilet.

Poor Luke lost his footing and was knocked away again.

He felt like he had been stepped on by a bull.

He raised his hands helplessly, trying to find an explanation.

But the referee didn't tolerate him.

This is movement without the ball.

And you are an inside player whose position is unstable, who is to blame?Don't think that because your father is Bill Walton, he has to spoil you.

Su Xi rushed to the top of the arc, and Kenny Anderson quickly passed the basketball hand to Su Xi, and helped Su Xi block Fisher. Su Xi took the shot calmly... Kobe's dive was more than a beat slower.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc... Wow!

Accurate hit.

The Pacers recovered 3 points.

Susie made an immediate impact when he came on.

Yes! !
In front of the TV, Larry Bird punched hard. He liked Su Xi. Su Xi had a temperament that made me more precise the harder it was.Bird loved this temperament.

Similarly, Venus and Serena also behaved the same way on the sidelines. They were really excited about Su Xi's performance.It’s a passionate resonance.

As athletes, they can relate to Su Xi's powerful blow.

At this time, Su Xi has already entered a new battle.

He came to the No. 2 position, and he did not evade his responsibilities.Despite everyone's concerns about his fitness, when Artest signaled him for a switch, he pointed his finger in the direction of the left corner.

He didn't have the energy to talk to Artest.

Artest understood, and he quickly walked over there.

When Kobe saw Susie defending in person, he didn't hesitate at all. He directly asked for the ball from Fisher.

Other Lakers players, including O'Neal, consciously pulled away.

In the fourth game of the game, the Lakers players knew better than anyone who was the "King" of the Pacers.As long as Su Xi's physical strength can be worn down, everyone believes that at least half of the victory is won.

Karl Malone was gearing up on the sidelines, and he kept asking Phil Jackson to play.

"I must kill the little sheep Su Xi." He gritted his teeth. He hated Su Xi to the core.

Phil Jackson did not agree immediately. He had to observe further.

Kobe Bryant was one-on-one, and Su Xi was concentrating on defense. All his talent, energy, and experience were concentrated in front of him.

He gave Kobe great pressure, and his strength made Kobe feel uncomfortable. Kobe had not yet gained weight at this time, and Su Xi's strength made it difficult for Kobe to get into position.

But Kobe is rich in skills and has certain advantages in height.

He made a perfect turn in front of Su Xi. Kobe's coordination talent is super, his flexibility is also very good, and his waist and abdominal strength are extremely strong.

If it were Su Xi from before, she would definitely not be able to prevent it.But now, Su Xi's coordination talent is about to reach the super realm, and his flexibility talent is the best in the league today.

Coupled with Gary Payton's super defensive talent, he accurately judged Kobe's perfect turn and blocked his position one step ahead.

This prevented Kobe from breaking free from the defense.He paused briefly and glanced to the left from the corner of his eye. Artest in the bottom corner looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Kobe quickly stopped thinking about passing the ball. He could only take off suddenly and force a jump shot even though there was no space.

Su Xi's bounce was not good, but his huge palm still almost sealed Kobe's eyes.

boom!
Kobe hit the iron with a jumper.

O'Neal Jr. beat Luke Walton to get the rebound.

Luke Walton's shortcomings are emerging. His weakness and short stature make him passive after Suhi comes on the court.

Phil Jackson glanced at Karl Malone: ​​"You will play in the next round."

"What do I need to do?" Karl Malone asked Phil Jackson.

"Just calm down a little bit." Phil Jackson had no other suggestions.He knew that Karl Malone would definitely treat Suhi toughly when he came on the court. It would be impossible for Suhi to repeatedly knock away Luke Walton's defense as he did before.Karl Malone's body tonnage is like a steel city gate, Su Xi can hit his head against it.

At this time, Su Xi is still tracking Kobe.

Kobe was always there, his defense was extremely focused and tenacious.

Su Xi walked out of the snake shape with strange steps.

He shuttled through the half court, and the Lakers' entire line was mobilized.

When Susie ran to the bottom corner, Devin George couldn't help but make up for it. Just this time, Artest stepped out of the space and Kenny Anderson passed the basketball.

Artest received the basketball and immediately made a shooting gesture, and Kobe had to switch to defense.

But when Kobe Bryant slid up, Artest had already quickly passed the basketball to O'Neal on the wing, and O'Neal quickly made a singles stance.

Kobe turned back subconsciously, intending to attack from a flank.

At this time, O'Neal Jr. turned around and passed the basketball... Suxi caught the ball at the top of the arc and hit the target.

Devin George has long since been dumped.

Kobe gritted his teeth in anger and stared at Devin George like a god of death.

And Su Xi has quickly shot the basketball.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc.

Swish!
The second three-pointer penetrated the net in an almost consistent arc.

The huge point difference between the two teams quickly narrowed to 1 point as Su Xi came on the court.

The Pacers bench was in a state of excitement.

Venus and Serena also jumped up to cheer for Su Xi.

This ball... shows the perfect tacit understanding of the Pacers. They completely trust Su Xi and pass the basketball carefully and patiently until it reaches Su Xi's hands... Of course, Su Xi's running is also very important.

Phil Jackson couldn't help but take a breath: Suzy the sheep should be called Suzy the fox.

So cunning.

Desert Fox is nothing more than that.

On both offense and defense, he made breakthroughs from the left corner. He perfectly mobilized Artest's talent.Although Artest did not record any data in the two rounds, without Artest, it would be difficult to break the game with both goals.

How did he know that the left side was Kobe's weak spot?

Phil Jackson was a little curious.At this time, Karl Malone had already stepped onto the court and he replaced Luke Walton.

The first thing he did was not to find his opponent, O'Neal Jr., but to leave a provocation in Su Xi's ear: "Your good days are over. If you dare to run around, I will break your ribs..." .”

Su Xi glanced at him disdainfully.

Karl Malone then heard familiar Chinese. "Big idiot."

Ma Long is really curious now, what does this sentence mean?
Are you scolding me?Or an evil Eastern curse?

Karl Malone became increasingly suspicious and angry.

Kobe continued his offensive, and he still singled out Su Xi.In Kobe's basketball philosophy, if one doesn't work, then two.

Su Xi still wrapped around Kobe tightly and forced Kobe with strength.Kobe made a perfect fake shoulder shake, and Su Xi was deceived into taking half a step away. He took advantage of the situation and jumped to shoot. Su Xi tried hard to block the shot, but failed to complete it.

However, Kobe's shot still missed the basket slightly and slipped out.

Karl Malone actively rushed for rebounds, but he was old after all. Even if he gave O'Neal an elbow, O'Neal still used his jumping advantage to get the basketball out.

The basketball was controlled by Artest and then passed to Su Xi.

Su Xi received the basketball and did not rush to launch a fast break.

He glanced back, and O'Neal clutched his ribs and complained to the referee.

The referee was indifferent.

It's difficult for him too.If you don't catch the first scene, it's not easy to whistle.

Although the whole world knows that Karl Malone is a dirty player, he is famous and his actions are very subtle.

Suhi dribbled the ball across half court and passed the basketball to Kenny Anderson, who continued to run without the ball.Kobe Bryant quickly chased after him. He did not allow such an awesome person to exist. He would never go on the court and score three goals in a row to overtake the lead.

At this time, Su Xi knew that there was a tiger in the mountain and headed to the tiger mountain.

After Karl Malone came on the court, the Lakers quickly accumulated two of the strongest insiders in the league today.

The two men stood in the paint like towers, and the attackers on the outside didn't want to clash muscles just by looking at them.

However, Su Xi didn't hesitate at all, he rushed directly to the inside.

When he came, Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal were both ready: though not in the same way.

Seeing that Su Xi was about to pass between the two of them, Karl Malone raised the tip of his elbow.But just before Su Xi was about to shuttle, she suddenly twisted her body and walked away from Shaquille O'Neal... Su Xi went around.

Kobe quickly gave chase, but he just caught up.I found Su Xi turning quickly and starting to run away from Karl Malone... This was a sharp turn.

Watching Su Xi intend to gallop away close to her.

Karl Malone moved his right foot in the midst of lightning and flint, and at the same time raised his right hand out of the air... He wanted to create some 'checkpoints' for Su Xi's passing.

But I didn't expect that the moment Su Xi galloped away from him, his body suddenly leaned back and made a gesture of being violated... His movements were very lifelike and very fast, making it impossible to tell whether he was His head was swept by Karl Malone's hand. The point is...he also kicked Karl Malone's ankle, which looked like he was tripped.

beep!

The referee quickly blew the whistle.

Karl Malone let out a cry at that time, and sat down holding his ankle.

Su Xi was not as exaggerated as he was. He staggered two steps and rubbed his forehead. When he turned around, he had an angry look on his face.

The referee had no doubts and gave Karl Malone a defensive foul.

Karl Malone was already in great pain, but now he was called for a foul, and he suddenly became furious.

He jumped up and asked the referee: "Why did I foul? Didn't he foul?"

The referee didn't argue with him at all.

He just felt that Karl Malone was taking it too far.

No one believes Karl Malone.

Even Lakers fans feel that Karl Malone was caught this time.

Magic Johnson even said on TV: "Susie the Sheep has to adapt to this. He still has a lot to learn from these old guys. He is obviously doing small tricks and is caught, but he can quickly switch the identity of the victim, and he can also He made a very aggrieved expression. In contrast, Jack restrained himself. If he were an old player, he would definitely roll on the ground with his head covered and get a technical foul first."

"Jack's experience is still not enough." Charles Barkley also expressed regret.

"However, it's okay not to learn this kind of thing. People who play basketball still have to use basketball to speak." Magic continued.

The two of them discussed it on TV.

TV viewers also felt that Karl Malone's performance was too realistic, but Su Xi didn't know how to make a fuss about being violated.

"Okay, Carl. Stop acting."

Shaquille O'Neal pulled Karl Malone aside: "If you play again, you'll get a technical foul."

"I'm not acting at all." Karl Malone stared, his ankle was in great pain.

Snapped!
Shaquille O'Neal patted Karl Malone on the head: "You're confused, I'm not the referee."

I….

Karl Malone, a mute man, ate Coptis chinensis and could not express his pain.

He had already committed four fouls and the half wasn't even over yet.

Phil Jackson frowned at this time, thinking about whether to replace Karl Malone.

But when he saw Su Xi holding on her body and running out of bounds to serve, he made up his mind to let Malone continue.

Anyway, Karl Malone is a consumable. As long as he can exhaust Su Xi's physical energy, he will make money no matter what.

"Don't be too hasty, calm down, Carl." Phil Jackson shouted from the sidelines.

Karl Malone:?
He was roaring in his heart: I've restrained myself enough, I'm not acting.

At this moment, Su Xi sent the basketball directly into the penalty area. As soon as Karl Malone reacted, he saw O'Neal Jr. sprinting past him into the penalty area and jumping high.He hurriedly pursued, but was a beat too late... people get old first.Moreover, his ankle is really hurting now.

Why did Su Xi's kick hit my ankle?

boom!
O'Neal Jr. completed a menacing two-handed dunk.

The Pacers took the lead on their third offense after Su Xi came on the court.

After Su Xi came on the court, the Pacers hit an 8-0 spurt.

No matter how basketball commentators discuss it, they can't erase this cruel fact: the Lakers can't do anything with Suhi.

"If Jack can play the entire game, do we still have to worry about the championship?" Larry Bird couldn't help but sigh.Although the Lakers have Super F4 this year, in Bird's view, the strength of the Lakers this year is far inferior to that of the three consecutive championships.He even felt that the Lakers were not as good as the Lakers that lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.

"I really hope that Jack's secret weapon is his physical fitness. In fact, he has been hiding his strength in order to give the Lakers a fatal blow in the finals."

At this point, Charles Barkley lamented on TV.

But Kenny Smith couldn't help but ask a question: "Excuse me, how can you hide your physical ability?"

"Just pretend to be weak. Don't you pretend to be tired every night when you go home and don't want to deal with your wife?" Barkley complained.

Buckley has his own theory: "I really don't think Jack's physical ability is that weak. Otherwise, how do you explain that he can make two Hollywood female stars fight and let them enjoy unimaginable happiness? Moreover, you don't Do you think Jack can be more active every time he takes a break? Have you ever seen someone with such a strong recovery ability? I have never seen it."

Barkley asked Magic Johnson: "We have all played basketball. We know that after physical fitness declines, it is impossible to resume high-intensity competition in a short time."

Magic Johnson nodded.

Then, he said in confusion and surprise: "Is Jack really hiding?"

At this time, Su Xi's physical fitness was obviously declining on the court.

After he helped the Pacers take the lead, he seemed relieved.

Kobe Bryant burst through his defense on the wing and hit a pull-up jumper while traveling at high speed.

Afterwards, Su Xi was still running, but it was obvious that his running was getting slower and slower.

But as long as he's running, Kobe Bryant has to follow him.

This creates defensive gaps for the rest of the Pacers.

Artest hit a jumper.

O'Neal Jr. also began to name Karl Malone. When Karl Malone committed four fouls, he had to restrain himself.And his ankle was really hurting.

O'Neal Jr. has a tendency to get what he wants.

The second quarter turned into a civil war between the 96 golden generation.

You come to me on both sides.

Su Xi's pace became slower and slower.

His breathing was getting heavier and heavier.

But he stayed on the court. He had to hold down Kobe and Karl Malone.

At this time, both the Pacers players and Lakers fans knew very well that Su Xi would not come back in the second half.

He was on the verge of overdraft.

On the one hand, Kobe Bryant was squeezing Su Xi's physical fitness, and on the other hand, he wanted Su Xi to take a rest: Damn it, you are still so young, it is just a finals that is destined to fail, why are you fighting for your life?

Kobe thought so.

The Pacers fans in front of the TV were even more moved.

Larry Bird even turned his back, he was sorry.He thinks he didn't do enough.

He told his boss: "If we don't win the championship this year, I am fully responsible. I failed Jack, I failed the Pacers. I should have found two more substitutes."

The boss sighed and said with emotion: How many people can continue Jack's important role in the game.

Players who can continue Jack's role will not come to the team as a substitute.
