Su Xi's attack shattered Coach Ellis's wishful thinking.
The game continues.
Auburn was still evading Suhi's defense, and Levine passed the basketball to Daniels and started running quickly.
Daniels was playing singles on the wing. As soon as he completed his turn, Su Xi flanked him and he quickly shot...bang.
Missed.
Craig gets the rebound.
He passed to Susie.
Su Xi dribbled the ball across half court and reached the top of the arc. This time, Coach Ellis asked Levine to play strong defense.
Levin lowered his center of gravity and captured Su Xi's trajectory.
He believes that Su Xi's breakthrough is only due to strength.
However, when Su Xi took a probing step in an instant... a powerful burst of explosive power, his center of gravity couldn't stop retreating. Su Xi quickly changed direction, attracting Levin to seize the opportunity to lift his center of gravity. Su Xi took the opportunity to turn around... His turn was slightly opposite to that of Levin, and his upper body turned first... This proved that he had good flexibility talent.
Susie passed Levine.
Levin's eyes were still looking in another direction.
Su Xi entered the paint area, and Killingsworth quickly raised his arms to defend. Su Xi stopped in front of him... although he did not stop the car slightly due to lack of other talents.
However, he quickly faked an upward shot.
Killingsworth jumped to his feet.
Su Xi turned around, her movements were not chic but practical, and she put the basketball into the basket with her left hand... Whoops!
Su Xi scored two more points.
The entire Madison Square Garden was ignited with passion.
Su! Su! Su!
Many fans shouted Su Xi's name loudly.
In front of the TV, more fans were surprised: It turns out that Su Xi's offensive skills are not bad either. His prodding step even has the feel of Cameron, and his last turn also feels a bit like copying Kobe Bryant.
“Is Syracuse University’s secret weapon finally willing to be revealed?”
Barry Sr. said appreciatively on CBS Sports Channel.
Jim Bonham was as excited as if he had drunk several bottles of rum. His face was flushed with excitement, he waved his fist vigorously and said to Su Xi on the court: "Jack, good job!"
The same goes for the players around him.
After Suxi reappeared, he quickly became the team's anchor, even a savior-like existence.
The so-called leadership qualities and core status are achieved at this critical moment.
Su Xi was calm.
He even regretted that if McNabara hadn't been injured and lacked offensive power on the outside, he would still have wanted to focus all his energy on the defensive end. Because the defensive end is his 'source of strength', his talent integration relies on defending the opponent's talented players to accelerate his improvement.
Because when defending talented players, talented players will actively deploy their talents. When his talents are released... the talents in Su Xi will follow the rhythm of active defense and increase the speed of integration. When it turns to attack, Su Xi takes the initiative and the opponent passively defends...there will be no such effect.
Thanks to Su Xi's previous efforts and active defense, he now has the unique strength talent in the NCAA, the explosive talent above the elite level, and the flexibility talent at the quasi-elite level.
Although the talent in other aspects is far from enough, it is more than enough to cope with most NCAA level competitions.
Carmelo Anthony looked at Su Xi emotionally. The better Su Xi performed on the offensive end, the more he felt indebted. His agent Bill Duffy had previously told him that he would ask Suhi to focus on defense and help Cameron share the defensive pressure.
It turns out that Jack did exactly that, sacrificing his own data. He didn't show off his offensive talent until now at the critical moment.
Anthony was deeply moved.
But what he didn't know was that when Bill Duffy came to Su Xi, Su Xi didn't have any natural advantage in offense. He has also experienced a surge recently.
Therefore, Su Xi did not understand Anthony's gratitude.
What's going on here? I'm playing normally, and you suddenly treat me as a benefactor.
The game continues.
Auburn University's basketball was handed over to Killingsworth. Killingsworth knocked away Hakeem and was interfered by Anthony who was flanked during a layup.
Su Xi got to the basket, squeezed past Robinson, and grabbed the rebound.
Then, Su Xi dribbled the ball across half-court, and he used a quick change of direction to pass Levine. Levine's defense was ordinary, and his only talent was top-notch flexibility. He couldn't stop Su Xi's pace at all.
Daniels came over to help defend, and Su Xi took a step in and passed the basketball.
Josh Pace took the ball, shot it... and hit a three-pointer.
He's a good shooter with plenty of preparation time.
The game continues.
Daniels got to the basket and finally opened up Auburn University's scoring drought.
However, it was to no avail. When Su Xi's breakthrough kill establishes a strategic advantage, they must use a flanking attack, and Syracuse University's other positions are freed up.
Suhi brings a much greater defensive threat to Auburn than McNabarra does.
After Su Xi was flanked, he passed the basketball to Anthony.
Anthony's powerful offensive firepower was unleashed.
Anthony cleared the flank defense and kept scoring goals.
Auburn University, which once eliminated the No. 2 seed player, failed to win. They were reversed by Syracuse University.
The difference is getting bigger and bigger.
In the end, the situation turned out to be one-sided.
The final score was 88:62.
Syracuse won by 26 points.
Auburn is stuck in the Sweet Sixteen, which is still their all-time record.
So, they have nothing to feel sad about.
Coach Ellis praised Susi in an interview: "Their team's No. 33 player changed the trend of the game. He used defense to contain our chemical reaction. When we thought he was just a defensive player, his breakthrough and killing attack We were caught off guard and he killed us."
Su Xi scored a record-breaking 17 points tonight, as well as 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.
This is the data of a superstar in the NCAA, a superstar data that combines offense and defense.
To some extent, it is even more eye-catching than Carmelo Anthony who scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Anyone who watched the game would think that Susie saved the game in a critical moment, and Carmelo Anthony took advantage of the situation and was the icing on the cake.
Which is more important, a timely help or the icing on the cake?
Larry Bird thought it was a timely help. After watching the game tape, he was very sure that the point guard he wanted was Su Xi.
Moreover, he has already begun searching for picks around the middle of the first round.
Terry scouts said it was a bit unnecessary.
Larry Bird insists that Suhi is a perfect fit for the Pacers and must be more stable.
At this time, he even thought... Xiaoyang Suxi must not be so eye-catching in the future. If he played so well in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, he wouldn't be able to hide it.
By then, he may not even be selected in the middle of the first round.
In today's league, there are not many point guards who can carry the inside and are willing and good at doing the dirty work. What's more, Su Xi also showed offensive talent in this game, and his organization is also above average.
Phil Jackson also watched the tape provided by Kobe.
He frowned and said nothing.
Jackson has no interest in point guards.
"But we already have Fisher." Phil Jackson said: "I think Fisher is twice as good as him."
Zen Master patted Kobe on the shoulder: "I think you and Shaq should have a good chat. You have proven that together you are invincible. Why not win the fourth, fifth, or sixth championship?"
Kobe's expression did not soften. He thought Phil Jackson was on O'Neal's side.
"You really don't know how to observe rookies. I'll go talk to Dr. Buss." Kobe said to Phil Jackson in disappointment: "You only know how to play with famous superstars."
This sentence poked Phil Jackson's wound.
At this time, Kobe was outspoken and had low emotional intelligence.
This is why Phil Jackson prefers the weird and more mellow O'Neal.
