knife point guard

Chapter 316 [Nothing to say, just donate! 】

Jalen Rose is a member of Michigan's Fab Five.

Stackhouse has a bigger background. He is Jordan's successor, the top pick who was squeezed out by Iverson. In Detroit, he was once regarded as an All-Star player at the core of Grant Hill's successor.

They have all been so prosperous.

Jaylen beat Stackhouse in isolation on the wing. His body was stronger and taller than Stackhouse, so he used his back to clear the way. Then he quickly turned around, took a sudden step in, stopped suddenly, stepped back and shot a jump shot... Whoa!

This is the basic skill of their generation of forward and defensive swingmen.

Very classical flavor.

Johnson, the head coach of the Mavericks and nicknamed Little General, obviously did not expect that the Knicks' first ball would be for Jalen Rose to go for a single.

Su Xi was still running quickly to clear the space for him, which made the young general confused. Is the Knicks' tactics any good? Are they usually so chaotic?

He looked at Isiah Thomas opposite.

Isiah Thomas touched his chin. He seemed more confused than the opponent's coach: Why did he start like this?

why?

Suzy the sheep!

The Mavericks were hard to defend.

hit.

Nowitzki scored 31 points in the first three quarters.

Moreover, their scoring is still eye-catching.

Looking back, the Knicks' offensive combination was with Hardaway and Jerome. Jerome gave Hardaway a pick-and-roll. Hardaway entered the free throw line. He passed to Tony Barty who ran out quickly, and Tony Barty picked up the ball. The ball shot... swish!

When Batty shot, Suhi got stuck in the paint.

Crawford, Ariza, David Lee, and Channing Frye followed him wildly.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by 1 point.

Su Xi made a jump shot directly from the top of the arc in the first round. He opened the game with a three-pointer.

Nearly triple-double data, and led the Knicks to achieve higher offensive efficiency.

He could easily bet $100 million against Jordan.

Then enter the fourth quarter.

This is something the Dallas Mavericks can't stand. Young general Johnson never thought that the Knicks would defeat the Mavericks in the attack.

He looked strange, but the shape inside his head was even stranger now. He was thinking: Why is it that we are also the head coach, and I am busy and exhausted every day, but he is as innocent as a child, quarreling with others, playing sarcasm, and inciting hatred when there is nothing wrong? But there are so many fans supporting him, praising him and touting him.

The young general was even more confused.

The offensive efficiency of both sides is very high.

Su Xi led the team to blast.

But facing Su Xi, they had a great sense of uncertainty.

Su Xi scored 23 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals in the first three quarters.

Are you sure that Su Xi, the little sheep, won’t be the main attacker tonight? Does he just trust his teammates so much?

The game continues.

The young general immediately scratched the back of his head.

Then, his attack became more fierce. He quickly entered the penalty area. He led Dallas' defense to shrink, and then passed the basketball. David Lee is a very stable mid-range shooter, and Channing Frye's range can cover three-pointers. One meter outside the line.

It's just that the Mavericks are playing a regular offense, while the Knicks are constantly trying new lineups: Suhi has been using his powerful containment ability to attract the opponent's defense.

Su Xi's personal killing ability is extremely strong, and he has a greater ability to enhance the strength of his teammates through the threat of personal killing.

Entering the fourth quarter, when he was preparing to attack Su Xi, Su Xi initiated a run and gun attack.

After entering the second quarter, Su Xi finally showed his sword. He used his powerful offensive ability to tear open the defense. The Mavericks are powerless against his attacks, and Suhi can get into the penalty area and cause continuous damage. He can also punish defensive players from mid-to-long distances. He can also move without the ball and hit accurately.

What he didn't even expect was.

Most importantly, his organizational skills extend throughout the game.

Jason Terry dribbled the ball across half court. He tried to attack but failed. He passed the ball to Nowitzki who was pulled up to the high post. Nowitzki tried to coordinate but failed to find his teammates. He took a step inward and made a sudden jump shot... Uh-huh!

The Mavericks tried to suppress Su Xi... Before the game, they deduced that the Knicks would suppress Nowitzki. They made a lot of preparations, but in fact the Knicks did not do so at all. They allowed Nowitzki to play in Tony Basketball. Ty and David Lee and even Channing Frye scored.

Their Dampier couldn't defend, and their Nowitzki wasn't that proficient in defense.

Compared with the Knicks' high degree of uncertainty, the Mavericks' style of play is very, very stable.

The only thing they did on the defensive end was that Suhi restricted Jason Terry's advancement speed and passing direction at the top of the arc.

They completely gave up interior defense, and they were even more ferocious than the Suns.

After the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 27:27.

The point difference suddenly widened when the fourth quarter entered the fifth minute.

Therefore, even if the Knicks lack Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry, they are still rich in interior tactics.

These two insiders directly embarrassed the Mavericks.

The young general has never been so envious of a head coach.

Dallas has always been a strong team and they've played a lot of single-core teams. Even with Kobe's powerful offensive weapon, they have the confidence and ability to defeat it.

Because Crawford and Channing Frye hit three consecutive three-pointers, the point difference suddenly widened to 3 points.

The Mavericks had to request a timeout, and Johnson adjusted their strategy. They no longer surrounded Su Xi.

But Su Xi then seemed to be in a deserted place.

They can't control a double attack, so how can they defend against one another?

Suhi single-handedly destroyed Dallas' defense.

He accomplished what even the Spurs troika couldn't.

The Mavericks ultimately failed to recover the score and lost their first game by 11 points.

101:112. Su Xi once again scored a triple-double in this game. He helped the team become better in every position.

The Knicks won their first victory. The excitement of the New York fans was beyond words. When they were interviewed, some even cried bitterly: This is something we did not expect. If someone said before the start of the season that we could score Finals, I would think he was talking nonsense. But, we did it. Suzy the Sheep is so great! No, he's Suzy the Goat! Michael Jordan can never do such great things, he has been playing with the wind, and he will be useless without the Bulls. He didn't even dare to come to New York back then, even though New York had a strong player like Ewing.

Knicks fans adore Susie beyond measure.

Some fans even publicly claimed that Su Xi was the god of basketball.

But the basketball god was very humble when he was interviewed. He said: "We have been taking risks in this game. Although we won by double digits, in fact, the gap between the two teams is not that big. We have been gambling-style. Fortunately, we made the right bet. . We won the game because of it.”

"Nowitzki is undoubtedly one of the greatest power forwards in the history of the league, and he and Larry Bird are the two best shooters in the forward field. He scored 47 points tonight. I think if, his There is no problem with his physical fitness, he can definitely score 60 points."

"It's not that we don't defend him, but we can't defend him. Therefore, we must give up trying to limit the shooting of a historical forward. If we don't succeed, we will look stupid."

Su Xi rarely showed a humble side in the post-match interview.

He gives the Mavericks a lot of respect.

That's something other teams don't get.

When asked by a reporter about the bet between Isiah Thomas and Jordan, he said: "I heard about it. In addition to winning two games, I suggested that they donate their donations to the sports foundation founded by my agent in China."

"Of course, I also persuaded James Dolan. Dolan said he was going to ask David Stern if his donation of $500 million to the foundation would be considered a table deal if the Knicks won the championship."

"I think it doesn't count. Because I have already said it publicly."

Su Xi said with a smile.

"So, I also hope that through this incident, everyone will pay attention to the grassroots basketball industry in China. China is a great country and a country with a large population. Maybe there are many NBA players playing basketball in the countryside. It has nothing to do with it. We need to help these kids find their talent, so starting in school is the best thing."

"I myself will go back every offseason, and I will go deep into the grassroots level. I will bring my basketball knowledge, as well as many NBA trainers' books and experience to them. I want to have more and more Chinese faces in the NBA. Even if not, I still think this cause is full of meaning, because we make more people fall in love with basketball, and gain a competitive spirit and a healthy body because of basketball..."

Su Xi appealed in front of the media.

He is not an eloquent speaker.

But I have to admit that his sincere speech resonated with many people.

Many NBA stars subsequently contacted Su Xi, and they were willing to join such activities.

Although they may not be able to make seven-figure bets like Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Mark Cuban, and James Dolan.

However, having such a heart is already very remarkable.

"I will definitely do my best to win two home victories. As the best basketball player to date, Michael Jordan will definitely benefit more people if he participates in this charity activity."

Su Xi said.

Such words made it impossible for Jordan to get off the stage. Originally, he could still act shamelessly when he was arguing with Isiah Thomas, even if Isiah Thomas blocked all his escape routes.

But Su Xi suddenly raised the meaning of this matter. No matter how much he hated Su Xi, he could no longer be a coward.

After all, people need support from their personalities.

At this time, Jordan really regretted why he had such a bad mouth and why he said those words, so that now he was caught by Su Xi and Isiah Thomas, and not only rubbed against them, but also relied on them.

Can't even shake it off.

Therefore, when he was interviewed by the media, he responded directly for the first time: "Of course I am serious. The God of Basketball never talks empty words. If the Knicks get two home games, I will definitely take action. 100 I have asked the person in charge of Jordan Brand in Asia to prepare a check of US dollars. Now, the eyes of those children are watching the performance of Su Xi. I hope he can withstand the pressure and create miracles."

Although Jordan said it impassionedly.

However, deep down he was extremely resistant.

On the one hand, he feels sorry for money. Although he is very rich, he can do a lot of things with 100 million US dollars.

On the other hand, he has always disliked Su Xi. He has shown discomfort since Su Xi was still playing in the NCAA.

And when Su Xi won two consecutive championships and his arrogant American agent rejected his invitation on the spot, he hated Su Xi extremely. And he said a classic saying: He will definitely lead the Bobcats to win the championship before Su Xi.

And then...the Bobcats didn't even make the playoffs this season. Even if Jordan exerts all his efforts in management, the team is getting further and further away from the top eight in the Eastern Conference and getting closer and closer to the lottery zone.

And Su Xi and the Knicks have reached the finals and swept all the way, even if they lack two core insiders.

This comparison has to be said to be a strong irony.

Jordan could only eat his words and gain weight.

He can only place his hope in the 2006 draft. He believes that he will definitely pick a strong rookie and a super cornerstone who can definitely lead the Bobcats to the championship.

He is now even deeply involved in the team's internal training, and he wants to teach the players what he has learned throughout his life. However, the effect is not very good.

On the contrary, he now feels that Su Xi's post-up play is more and more like his peak period.

After this talk, the second finals came as scheduled.

The ticket prices for the second finals were even higher than those for the first, and scalpers were also speculating.

There is even a saying in scalper circles: This is very likely to be the Knicks' last home game of the season, so just watch and cherish it. We had swept the previous three rounds, so why can’t we sweep in the finals? No one really thinks that the Dallas Mavericks are our opponent, right?

Before the game started, there was a heated discussion in the ESPN studio.

A structural conflict broke out between Reggie Miller and Larry Brown.

In the pre-game speculation session, Larry Brown continued to stand firmly on the side of Susie's opponents. He gave many reasons why the Dallas Mavericks must win.

At this time, Reggie Miller made a joke: "Larry, every time you talk about Jack and the Knicks, you swear so confidently. But every time you fail, many people now regard you as a beacon. "

The joke itself is not a bad thing.

But Larry Brown was furious. He even slapped the table. "Reggie, I know you have a good relationship with Su Xi. However, you should not question the professional analysis of a top head coach so much. If you can refute me from a theoretical level, I welcome it. But you always Such banter without giving any reason makes me question your professionalism."

Larry Brown has a very bad temper, and his temper gets worse as he gets older.

But Reggie Miller is not a vegetarian.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he patted the table confidently, and said: "Why should I discuss theory with you? Your theory is so good, why did you lose to the Indiana Pacers? You are so good, why would the Knicks rather let Yi Seiya Thomas, the part-time head coach, doesn’t want you?”

"You are so awesome, why do you fail every time you predict the Knicks?"
