knife point guard

Chapter 35 [It's So Simple]

During the team practice, Su Xi was assigned to the substitute camp.

Both Anthony and McNabara were surprised, but Su Xi was calm.

This made Coach Jim Boham a little 'frustrated'. He made such an arrangement to let Su Xi complain, let Su Xi show dissatisfaction, and then he would 'pacify' him logically, telling him not to be distracted, not to fantasize about the NBA.

Give a blow, and give sweet dates.

Mature coaches are such PUA players.

But Su Xi was very obedient without any complaints.

It made Jim Boham very passive, and he was worried that Su Xi's 'silence' was because of his decision.

So, when the joint practice was over, he walked to Su Xi's side inadvertently.He asked Su Xi: "How does it feel to be a substitute?"

Su Xi said: "I obey the coach's arrangement."

Su Xi's tone was not dissatisfied at all.

He doesn't fight or grab.For him, starting or substituting is not important, what is important is to match up with a genius who can accelerate his talent fusion.

Jim Boham was uneasy, he really couldn't figure out Su Xi.In the past, these NCAA coaches first aired out those non-talented players and non-important core players who were not obedient, made them feel scared, and then educated them.In order to make them completely obedient to themselves.

But Su Xi didn't eat this set.

Jim was afraid that he was pushing hard, and the two became stiff.Even if Su Xi can't play in the NBA, he can still transfer schools. The NCAA doesn't want too many transfer students. With Su Xi's current ability, if he wants to transfer, many schools are willing to accept him.

"Jack, you are still young, and there are many things you can't grasp. You have to be steady now, and I will let you sit on the bench for a while. Sometimes sitting on the bench can help you learn tactical thinking." Jim Boham said gently.

"Okay." Su Xi agreed.

As always, no complaints.

Jim Boeham can't do it.

He even felt like a child in front of Su Xi, jumping up and down.

People are completely indifferent.

...

At the start of the game, Su Xi did not start.

This dissatisfied many fans who came to watch Suzy the lamb, and some boos sounded in the Madison Garden Arena.

Josh Pace moved into the starting lineup and McNabara returned to point guard.

The game started with a stark matchup, with McNabara on Auburn's Steve Levine, Daniels on Josh Pace, Carmelo Anthony on their small forward Derek Bode, Hakeem on Killingsworth and Craig on Brand Robinson.

Su Xi sat on the bench, and he patiently and focusedly observed the positioning of the players on both sides.He is carefully studying the big picture of the court.

He saw that McNabara was isolated by Levine's tall figure. Levine was not only tall but also flexible, and his physical coordination was excellent. This is why he was able to serve as a point guard at such a height.

Levine's other talents are quite satisfactory, but he has good passing vision. With McNabara's defense, he can easily pass the basketball to Daniels or other players.

Daniels is Auburn's leading scorer, and he eats Josh Pace like he eats mushroom power beans.

Josh Pace is just a shooter, and his defense is mediocre.

Carmelo Anthony's singles ability is very strong, and he can easily clear the defense on the wing.Derek, who defended him tonight, is only 195 tall, but he is very tough. He played extremely tenaciously, and he was defeated repeatedly, posing an increasing threat to Anthony.

Because Anthony is more and more trapped in singles, there is no one around him who can divide the ball, and no one can help him attract firepower.

The team's No. 2 scorer, Hakeem, was trapped by Killingsworth. Although Killingsworth, a former high school genius, is getting farther and farther away from the NBA, in the NCAA he is simply a combination of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace.

Syracuse University has fallen into a passive state visible to the naked eye.

They can only rely on Carmelo Anthony to support alone, Su Xi does not play, and their previous silky backcourt connection no longer exists.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Syracuse University finally couldn't maintain the balance of power, and Auburn University took the opportunity to open the score.

In fact, Anthony had already gestured to Jim Boham in the 5th minute.He wanted to ask what Jim was doing, why didn't Jack play?
Jim is also very tangled. On the one hand, he believes that he can control the situation without Su Xi. After all, Auburn University is only the No. 10 seed, and Syracuse University is the No. 3 seed.

He kept dispatching troops.

But it still failed to stop Auburn University's offensive.

He deliberately didn't call Su Xi's name, but passed by Su Xi frequently. He hoped that Su Xi could not hold back and express his thoughts on playing to him, and then teach him a lesson himself, and then quickly replaced him.However, Su Xi was very calm, and he had no intention of actively applying to play.

He also smiled at Coach Jim and nodded to him.

There was even gratitude in his eyes.

This made Coach Jim unable to figure out what Su Xi was thinking.

In fact, Su Xi's thinking is very simple. He simply believes that Jim left him on the bench to cultivate his overall view and ability to control tactics.

Coach Jim treated him so well before, he didn't think about 'suppressing' at all.

Moreover, Coach Jim frequently dispatched troops and deliberately "passed by" by his side, which he interpreted as: on-site teaching.

He felt in his heart that he had benefited greatly from these wrong plans.

In the past, he seldom observed the overall situation as a whole, but now under the guidance of Coach Jim, he finally has a preliminary understanding of the system.He's taking his first steps toward being a true point guard.

That's why he looked at Coach Jim with gratitude: You deliberately kept using wrong answers in order to train me.

If Jim knew Su Xi's mental activities, he would definitely collapse: I obviously want to suppress you, I want you to realize clearly that you should not fantasize about the NBA, you can't handle it.

Jim took a look at Su Xi, who was looking at the court with a calm expression and fascinated.

He sighed: Well, I'm convinced, Jack, you win.

He really couldn't hold it anymore. Although it is important to cut off Su Xi's idea of ​​hitting the NBA, it is more important to win the victory.This is a decisive game, a game that determines the final result of this season. The treatment of the top 16 and the top 8 is completely different.

About to request a timeout, substitution.

Some calls came from the arena: We want Suzy the lamb!We're going to see Suzy the lamb!We want Suzy the lamb to play!

At the beginning, it was still in a state of dissemination, but as more and more people shouted.

Gradually, it became a uniform slogan: Sushi the Lamb!Suzy the lamb!Suzy the lamb!

Su Xi frowned, a little embarrassed.

He didn't like this nickname from the beginning.

He likes Carmelo Anthony's nickname Lil-Goat.Goats sound stronger and more powerful than sheep.

He cannot cover the mouths of thousands of people.

Jim tried to cover his ears, he stopped pausing at the edge of his mouth... he was a little rebellious inside.

This rebellion has disastrous consequences.

McNabara was driving hard against Steve Levine, he was going to help Anthony open the game, he went to the free throw line, pulled up, stepped back and took a jumper ... the arc was beautiful, and he finally got a little feeling.

But when the basketball flew to the highest point, when he landed, his left foot softened slightly and sprained on the spot.

Although he fell down cleverly, the impact of the acceleration of gravity still made him lie on the floor and make a painful sound.

McNabara is injured!
Jim Boham's entire face froze instantly...McNabara was the No. [-] outside scorer and Cameron's right-hand man.When Cameron feels bad, he often plays solo and carry.

Now, he's hurt.

Syracuse trailed by 5 points.

Jim regretted it very much. He knew that all the faults were his own.He shouldn't be playing tricks in such an important game, he shouldn't deliberately suppress Su Xi, and want Su Xi to listen to him.Not only did it not work, but he overplayed himself, putting the game in a desperate situation, and McNabara was also injured... He blamed himself very much.He had never hated his stupid conceit so much.

"Auburn University is the number one dark horse this year. After eliminating the No. 2 seed, the No. 3 seed is almost finished."

The CBS commentator said on TV: "Daniels, Levine, Killingsworth as the core team play is too complementary and too strong. I don't think Syracuse University has any way to break it."

"As much as the Madison Gardens fans are yelling at Suzy the sheep, it's a mistake to pin their hopes on him. They might as well hope that McNabara is not injured and continues to play in the second half!"

When the commentator Barry Sr. was speaking, the team doctor asked the staff to push the stretcher in. McNabara's left shoe was cut off, then fixed with an ice pack, and he was lifted up... This scene made all Syracuse University fans sink to the bottom.

McNabara is definitely not coming back.

Syracuse University has no chance.

"I want to play."

Su Xi stood up and walked to Jim Boham, his eyes were firm.

Jim Boham didn't expect Su Xi to stand up at this time. At this time, the team's morale was shaken, and many people lost confidence because of McNabara's departure.

"I have a way of beating them."

Su Xi continued.

Ok?
Jim Boham raised his eyebrows and thought: I don't even have confidence, but you?
"Just now you asked me to observe their positions on the sidelines. I tried my best, and I found that they are not unbreakable." Su Xi said: "Also, I don't want McNabara to go to the hospital with self-blame and spend a long tormented offseason. He is a sensitive and kind person. If we lose the game, he will definitely feel that his injury has dragged everyone down."

"I'll take his share."

Su Xi said seriously.

His words infected everyone.

Sincerity is always nirvana.

The players came out of the shadow of McNabara's injury, and their frustration turned into inspiration.McNabara is a good guy and shouldn't be allowed to end the season with regrets, and if Jack really has a way to crack Auburn, everyone is willing to do more.

This is the biggest difference between college basketball and professional basketball.

Although every group has more or less internal conflicts, the difference from professional basketball is that... college basketball has a stronger sense of faith and unity.Because it is not infected by commercial elements, it is not divided into three, six or nine grades, there is no contract competition in the same position, and there will be no competition for a piece of data.

Everyone is aiming for victory.

Impressed, Jim Boeham said: "Okay, Jack. It's time for you to prove yourself."

Su Xi nodded vigorously.

Then he and Jim Boham expressed his views on tactics, and he also emphasized that he can do it.

Boham was surprised, and his teammates were even more surprised.

Jack is going to do this?

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

Suzy the lamb, who was called by New York fans, finally made her debut.

At this time, the mood in the Madison Garden Arena was a little low.

They were frustrated by McNabara's departure and the team's fall behind.

At this time, Syracuse University's lineup is: Duany, Su Xi, Anthony, Hakim, Craig.

Auburn University point guard Levine led the basketball halfway, and Syracuse University defended a zone defense.

Moreover, this second and third defense is very strange. Hakim's position and Su Xi seem to be in the opposite position.

Levine caught this, and he quickly passed the ball to the paint and handed it to Killingsworth.

Killingsworth gets the ball and Suzy defends.

Although Killingsworth is short in the interior, he still has a little height advantage against Su Xi.

His post-up technique is rough.

But now it's a misplaced defender.

He turned around, and he forcibly hit Su Xi. His body was 1.5 times thicker than Su Xi, and his weight was exactly 1.5 times that of Su Xi.

In theory, Su Xi should not go to single defense.

However, when Killingsworth pushed back with [-]% of his strength... Puff!

Su Xi, who was locked in the position in advance, only moved back a little bit.

Killingsworth looked surprised.

Su Xi couldn't stop smiling.

Killingsworth is very powerful, much stronger than Anthony.

His impact directly increased Su Xi's super strength talent fusion from 86% to 88%.

Killingsworth immediately increased his strength to [-]%, and hit back again... poof!

This time, Su Xi couldn't help taking a step back.

However, his super strength talent fusion degree has increased again, directly increasing to 89%.

It is only one step away from 90%.

Entering 90%, quantitative change into qualitative change, is another world.

At that time, Su Xi will enter the field of real strength.He can be called a strong player in the NBA.

However, Killingsworth took the time to turn around... He has similar problems with Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown is a buttery player who can't catch the ball and loves the court to think about life.He will not choose, every attack on the court breaks through normal thinking.

Who would have thought that he would turn around at this time.

He even jumped up to dunk.

He lived a big shark O'Neill in his heart.

Fortunately, he did not participate in the 2001 NBA draft. With Jordan's unique draft ability, it is really possible to select him.

At that time, there will be only one really happy person: Kwame Brown.

Killingsworth didn't jump up, but Su Xi posted it. He didn't have room to jump up, and he subconsciously took another step... Everyone was dumbfounded.

beep!

The referee blew him away.

He was still very angry and smashed the basketball hard on the floor.

The referee was not used to him and called him a technical foul.

Madison Gardens is boiling.

The fans started shouting: Suzy the lamb!Suzy the lamb!
"Prevented?"

Jim Boham was stunned on the sidelines, in disbelief.The method to crack the chain attack of Auburn University is actually the simplest two-three defense?Can Su Xi really stand up to Killingsworth?
In this way, can he really play in the NBA?

He actually has more usage scenarios than McNabara?

The NBA doesn't need a skinny white point guard who is good at scoring.

But if it's a point guard who can withstand the paint, they'll definitely try.
