Chapter 303 [The Three Giants of the Eastern District]

Stephon Marbury is going through an unprecedented crisis of confidence.

This crisis of confidence is more than 10,000 times greater than when they lost to the Knicks in the regular season.

Because the Pacers lost two home games.

As the defending champion and a team that has won the championship for two consecutive years, losing to James in the first round is an unacceptable shame.

After all, when Su Xi was still in Indiana, James was nothing. You can pinch him as much as you want. The word "chosen son" is a short joke in Indiana.

But now, it's the Pacers who are becoming the joke.

With the configuration of other teams unchanged at all, the only variable, Stephon Marbury, has naturally become the target of public criticism.

Stephon Marbury was originally ambitious and wanted to stand on the shoulders of giants and open up a new career, but now Indiana fans are saying: If I had known that a cup of Coke would quench my thirst, but Stephon Marbury would only be angry. .

How can Marbury accept this.

His mind is inherently extreme.

Especially after he discovered that none of his teammates trusted him that much, he became increasingly trapped in a dead end.

Therefore, a person's character determines his destiny.

Is Marbury's ability weak?

of course not. His current strength is no worse than Su Xi's first season with the Pacers, but why there is such a big difference is because he is prone to getting hot-headed.

The basketball game seems very long and seems to be capable of various actions. But in reality, as long as you make a mistake, you have to spend ten or even twenty rounds to make up for it. And one mistake can cause a lot of chemical reactions.

Su Xi is always an addition on the court, and he always stimulates the team's chemical reaction in a positive way.

Therefore, the Pacers got stronger and stronger that year and won two championships.

Now, they meet Stephon Marbury who is doing subtraction.

The result... is tragic.

The Pacers clawed back a win in Cleveland as they moved Marbury to the sixth man spot.

Marbury himself played well and didn't cause any trouble.

But in the fourth game, the Pacers lost again.

The reason is simple. Marbury was impulsive again and had his own way.

Of course, James' role in the game cannot be underestimated. His strength has increased visibly this season, and of course the league's preference for him has also increased visibly.

He has a lot of balls, and if he puts them on other players, they will blow them.

But for him, he rarely blows.

And when it comes to penalties where both sides are equally suspected of fouling, we will always lean towards him.

This is actually understandable.

If the alliance wants to create stars, it must have resources. This is the unspoken rule of the alliance.

It's just that more people are leaning towards James.

If Jordan became a god and the league tilted by 5 points, then James might have to multiply by five or ten.

When the Cavaliers took a 3:1 lead, the Knicks completed the elimination of the Bulls, and there was no suspense.

The media has rarely reported on this aspect, and now their energy is spent on touting the Black Seven Miracles of The Chosen One.

Su Xi watched the fifth game between the Cavaliers and the Pacers in front of the TV.

The Pacers played very passionately in this game, and every player, including Stephon Marbury, tried their best.

But we still lost, in double overtime.

James scored 57 points in this game. His inhuman physical fitness was fully reflected in this double overtime game. At the last moment of the game, he could still hang people for layups.

This shows how strong he is.

"After the Pacers lost Susie the Lamb, they lost their most important soul. We can't criticize Stephon Marbury too much. At least he tried his best in this game and even broke a tooth. But he just and The Pacers don't match up, he doesn't have the killer temperament at critical moments. Neither do the other Pacers players."

When Reggie Miller was explaining this section, he choked up.

Su Xi could tell how sad he was.

The career they started together came to nothing and collapsed at this time.

No one feels good.

"I'm not going to talk about LeBron's walking problem or why he averages 18 free throws per game. I just want to say that times have really changed. The league no longer encourages defense, as long as perimeter players dare If they sprint, they will definitely get a foul. Now that they have prevented outside defenders from reaching out, are they going to have to change the rules for inside defenders from reaching out or taking off?"

"Finally, I want to say. If Jack was still in Indiana, we would be drinking champagne now. LeBron James is good, he created the Black Seven Miracle. I wish him good luck, I hope he meets the Knicks, our Suzy the goat will avenge us.”

Reggie Miller's words speak to the thoughts of all Pacers fans in front of the TV.

They were sad, but they had hope.

Their hope is Suzy the goat.

Although Su Xi has left the Pacers, he has never left.

I don’t know since when, Su Xi has become the patron saint of Pacers fans. When they are in danger or bullied, they will always think of Su Xi.

In the post-game interview, Artest also expressed the same idea.

Stephen Jackson even said: I want to go to the Knicks next season.

Who wouldn’t want to?

Which old Pacers player doesn't want to continue to hang out with Su Xi?

Can you suffer such grievances by hanging out with Su Xi? Can you be bullied by James?

...

This series has become the masterpiece of James' career. The chosen one finally achieved some of the results that the chosen one should have.

After being suppressed by Su Xi for two years, he finally had a small manhole cover lifted, allowing him to reveal his head and see what the world of a superstar is like.

"As a core player who entered the playoffs for the first time and led the team to complete the Black Seven Miracles, I am under a lot of pressure."

Here's how LeBron James opened his postgame press conference.

This shows how excited he is and how much he wants to show off.

He finally had something to show off.

"Especially, this team is the defending champion and two-time champion."

LeBron James continued.

The media has already blown him away. He broke the career playoff scoring record in this game, which is indeed an MVP-level performance.

However, on his second day of glory, Su Xi won the regular season MVP.

This is a commendation without any suspense.

Su Xi told him with a ruthless trophy: What you played is what I left behind. If you want to catch up with me, you have to spend more media and public relations fees.

Su Xi became the second outside player to win the MVP title after Jordan and Magic. Moreover, coupled with his double Finals MVP, Su Xi already has a historical honor.

As for James' black seven, in the long history, it cannot be regarded as an honor at all.

Nike is crying.

While he was spending marketing fees for James, he also had to pay Su Xi's high bonuses.

Moreover, re-election will have to be doubled.

Su Xi's signature shoes are very profitable this year, but if Su Xi wins the championship and finals MVP again, it will be another year of working for Su Xi in vain.

Judging from the current trend, the odds of the Knicks winning the championship have changed from completely impossible to very possible.

Because LeBron James has already killed a competitor for him. It seems that the Knicks have only one threatening opponent left in the East: the Miami Heat.

Although the media now praises LeBron James very much, no one really thinks that the Cavaliers can defeat the Knicks, and no one thinks that James can defeat the Knicks.

The Knicks' second-round opponent was quickly announced. The Miami Heat eliminated the Nets, which had Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson, with a total score of 4:1.

Wade performed very well in this series. If James hadn't been so eye-catching, Wade would have been considered the first-round MVP.

Now the 03 generation of super giants is forming a blowout trend, especially the three giants in the Eastern Conference: Su Xi, James and Wade.

From the perspective of honor, Su Xi is the best and has the highest ranking.

Judging from media praise, James is the chosen one, gifted with divine power and the most expert fans.

From the perspective of the team's strength, people believe that Wade is likely to reach the top this season. His cooperation with the Sharks is excellent. They complement each other and are extremely compatible.

韦德首轮拿到32.4分8.2助攻4.0篮板1.8抢断1.6封盖的数据，强势，而且全面。

The league's new rules gave him and Wade even more leverage.

Of course, Su Xi is also a beneficiary of the new rules, but his assault frequency is not high.

As the Pistons defeated the Washington Wizards led by Arenas 4:2, the Eastern Conference second-round matchup groups were released.

Knicks versus Heat.

Pistons versus Cavaliers.

Basketball experts can't give an answer as to the outcome of these two sets of games, and there are huge differences. About 55% support Miami's victory, 40% support the Knicks' victory, and 0.5% are undecided. It's possible.

The number supporting the Pistons' victory is also 55%, while the number supporting the Cavaliers' victory is 40%, and 0.5% are undecided.

But for Su Xi, after this group appeared, he actually already knew the result.

"We can win the championship if we kill the Heat."

"This is going to be the most intense round of resistance we've ever encountered."

"We have to bring out all the energy we have and what we have trained for the entire regular season and release it without reservation."

"The Miami Heat are strong, but we have a better chance of winning."

Su Xi gave a shout-out before the game.

His words can always form a strong emotional resonance. Since Su Xi said that defeating the Heat will lead to a smooth journey, everyone will believe it without reservation and follow it with all their strength.

Su Xi mobilized within the team, and Pat Riley said in the media: "As long as we beat the Knicks, we will definitely win the championship."

"We have rich combat strategies with the Knicks, and they have their advantages. But our advantages are more obvious. No one can guard Shaq, and no one can guard Wade. We will win!"

Pat Riley shouted passionately.

Then, when he entered Madison Garden Arena, he received the loudest boos in the audience.

Knicks fans have no favorable impression of Pat Riley, the former head coach in the 90s, because he rebelled against New York and formed the Knicks' biggest rival in Miami.

Now, they are back again, trying to stop the Knicks' chariot.

Kill them!

goat!

goat!

goat!

When Su Xi came on the stage, the fans did not shout MVP, they shouted goat!

For Knicks fans, this is the only title worthy of Susie.

They really hope that Su Xi will become the goat of the new era.

As long as Su Xi can solidify this title, the Knicks must at least have a dynasty.

beep!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

The Miami Heat's starting players are: Gary Payton, Dwyane Wade, Antoine Walker, Alonzo Mourning, Shaquille O'Neal.

The Heat put up the Twin Towers.

The twin-tower center combination of the No. 1 pick and the second overall pick stood in front of the Knicks at the end of their careers, trying to become the central mountain range that could cut off the Knicks' progress.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Hardaway, Suhi, Trevor Ariza, Zach Randolph, and Eddy Curry.

This lineup has the same purpose as the Heat.

It is also a twin tower. The difference is that this twin tower is fatter on average.

The same old player is the point guard.

The Heat are Gary Payton, and the Knicks are Hardaway, Jordan's successor.

Snapped!

Eddy Curry beat Shaquille O'Neal on a jump ball.

He's younger and stronger than O'Neal.

Although Eddy Curry is still very large, through training this season, his fat content has been significantly reduced, and his muscles and strength have been greatly enhanced.

Hardaway dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Suhi.

Wade stared closely at Su Xi, and his defensive concentration was very high.

However, Su Xi made a sharp probing step. Before Wade could react, Su Xi quickly changed direction. His body was like a shooting star, violently cutting through the defense, rushing straight into the penalty area, and then jumped straight up. He He hit Alonzo Mourning hard across the way.

Mourning is a tough guy, but he is old and has had major surgery.

He couldn't react in time... Boom!

The dunks came pouring in.

Su Xi's huge strength made it impossible for him to parry, and he was knocked back repeatedly.

Su Xi's goal fully demonstrated his physical talent.

Su Xi tries not to play with his body this season, he wants to polish his skills.

But when he showed off his terrifying physical fitness, people discovered that Su Xi's talent was no weaker than that of James and Wade, and even seemed to be vaguely stronger than them.

No one knows where the strength lies.

Alonzo Mourning knows, it's power.

Su Xi's power is so surging, he is not a defender at all, he is a center.

The feeling when he hit him was even more painful than when James patted him.

And what's even better than James is that Su Xi can't walk, and Su Xi has very good skills.

"Shaq, give me a nickname. Wade is the Flash, what should you call me?"

After Susie scored, he asked Shaquille O'Neal with a smile.

O'Neal likes to give others nicknames.

However, at this moment, he didn't want to take it.

But Zach Randolph next to him said: "Jack, you should be called Superhero. I saw you when you were taking a shower. Yours is super big. Shaq, you should compare with him. I only have you." Only your body shape can be controlled..."

Forehead….

O'Neal quickened his pace, picking up whatever pot he didn't want to drink.
