Staples Arena sold all its tickets on October 25th.
LeBron James's appeal in the United States is huge. Everyone wants to see how powerful this No. 23 player, who has been declared by the media as the 'strongest rookie' and 'future ruler', is.
Of course, Su Xi is also an important reason to attract fans. Susie stayed in Los Angeles throughout the summer and was involved in Kobe Bryant's case, although it was later clarified that it was an own goal. He also appeared on the front page of Playboy women's magazine and became a fantasy prop next to the pillows of many California women. His handsome reputation has been widely reported in Hollywood, and some movie companies have even claimed that Su Xi will guest star in their shows.
Moreover, after Su Xi's reputation as a "genius terminator" was recently made popular by Oakland and Satemento, everyone also wants to see Su Xi's quality. Is there anyone better than Yao Ming, who was so impressive last year? Yao Ming was able to go back and forth with Shaquille O'Neal in the first 15 minutes of the game.
Suzy saw Jessica Alba before the game. She was sitting with Vivian, who was wearing a Cavaliers jersey, No. 33.
Su Xi was a little evasive when making eye contact with her. In fact, he had been avoiding her all the time. He hasn’t contacted Jessica Alba for almost half a year, but he can never forget the first time he learned rap skills from her at Avril Lavigne’s concert. He still got his super flexibility talent from her... Gary Payton was full of praise, saying that Susie's flexibility and long arms are a weapon for stealing.
So...is she still obsessed with me? He actually wore my jersey and winked at me.
Su Xi thought so.
"Oh! God, this daredevil bought the wrong jersey."
LeBron James came over and he said to Su Xi. He announced early in the dressing room that Jessica Alba, the star of his commercials, would come to watch his games.
Su Xi nodded and said, "That's how it should be, LeBron. No. 23 and No. 33 look very close."
He hoped so.
The game started soon.
Phil Jackson was sitting on the bench with his eyes closed and concentrating. He had no enthusiasm for the preseason. He also has no interest in the little sheep Su Xi recommended by Kobe Bryant. His team is already full of talents and there is no need to add a so-called genius terminator.
However, the exclamations in the arena soon made him open his eyes.
Suhi directly stole Derek Fisher on the first ball of the game.
Just after Fisher received the basketball, Su Xi defended it.
Fisher's physical condition has not fully recovered from the long vacation, and he still underestimates the enemy. But when Su Xi entangled him, he didn't take it seriously.
Then...snap!
Su Xi cut him off with almost no effort: very simple, resisting his path, deliberately making a bait when he tried to change direction to the right, and then using his right hand to pull his body from the left side of his body. Knock down the basketball.
After Su Xi cut off Fisher, she made a sudden impact and directly knocked Fisher to the ground.
He charges forward like a bull.
At this time, James also came over from one side. Su Xi hit the basketball hard and bounced it up. Although the accuracy was a bit insufficient and the strength was too high, the rebound was relatively high, but James' physical talent was very good. On the contrary, Creating a classic picture, James bounced up in the air, his head hit the backboard, and then used his left hand to dunk the basketball into the basket.
This is definitely the top five ball level.
Definitely one of the top ten goals of the season!
Staples Center gasped, then turned into full-blown cheers.
This ball is so cool.
The commentator sitting on the Fox channel shouted: "LeBron's talent is simply created by God for basketball. And... Suzy the sheep, his steals are great!"
Phil Jackson opened his eyes, and James ran over and high-fived Su Xi. He said to Su Xi: "Jack, this ball is perfect. The chosen son and the genius terminator, we are a perfect pair."
As he spoke, he looked towards the sidelines. He saw Jessica Alba standing up and cheering excitedly.
He raised his eyebrows proudly, yes, that's it.
"Does this ball feel the same to me?" Gary Payton turned his head and said to Kobe: "We just taught him for two hours yesterday."
"He is really talented on defense. He is also very good at passing the ball." Kobe nodded.
When these words fell into Phil Jackson's ears, he had a different feeling.
He couldn't help but look up and watch the replay. Su Xi's steal was fully displayed in front of him. It was indeed very good. This kid not only withstood Fisher's strong upper body, but also jammed his lower body, preventing him from moving forward normally. He can go around corners...and the degree of curvature of his body and long arms even surprised Phil Jackson.
He had seen Su Xi's video tape before, but he didn't expect to improve so quickly.
The game continues.
Fisher got the basketball again, and Suhi locked him again. He had to jump up near the midline to pass the basketball to Devin Brown, and was almost intercepted directly by James.
Suzy clung to Fisher.
Fisher was very passive. He was like a dead fish, lying on the bed neither screaming nor changing his position.
He didn't even carry the ball past half-court.
The game lasted 6 minutes and Phil Jackson replaced Gary Payton.
Prior to this, Stephen Silas had been talking to head coach Paul Silas and said: "I've been letting him watch Gary Payton video lately and he's improving very quickly. He's a natural defensive player and I'm impressed by his talent. Proud. Now, the defensive ability he has shown is already at the league's top level."
Gary Payton is getting a bit old and his physical gifts are declining.
But defensive skill and experience don’t.
Because this is a preseason game, winning or losing doesn't matter.
Therefore, he is teaching Suhi almost every round. It is not just one-on-one defensive teaching. He is also teaching Suxi how to provide defensive help to the opponent and how to form a defensive line with his teammates...Gary Payton as a history A top-level defender, his defensive ability is unquestionable.
And his incredible talking speed is finally finding success in areas other than trash talk.
Su Xi made rapid progress and almost got it right.
Everyone has a side that loves to be a teacher, especially when you meet a student with such a strong learning ability and understanding ability, you would like to personally pay for him to give him extra lessons.
There's no way, who told Su Xi to have the chip of "super entangled defensive talent" in her brain.
Under Payton's personal guidance, Su Xi's understanding of the 'super entanglement defense' talent quickly reached 84%.
If not for Phil Jackson throwing Gary Payton to the bench in the second half, the improvement could have continued.
But... it's enough.
"Gary, since when did you like to point people out on the court?" Phil Jackson asked Gary Payton in the locker room.
"Phil, if you meet a player like Jack, you can't help but teach him everything. Believe me, this guy is the smartest basketball player in the entire NBA."
Gary Payton said very seriously: "Defense is the most difficult thing to learn in the world. It requires extremely high IQ and understanding. However, this guy's evolution speed is simply crazy. I feel that in some aspects he is even better than me at my peak. .”
"Those who show their teeth and mock his genius finisher in front of him will definitely suffer."
Gary Payton said so.
Phil Jackson didn't believe it, so he asked the 198-foot-tall Kareem Rush to face Suhi in the second half. Kareem Rush's physical talent was very good, and their family came from a sports family. They have an older brother, Jalen Rush, who plays at UCLA, and a younger brother, Brandon Rush, who will be a lottery pick in the future.
Although this guy's skills are mediocre, his physical fitness is very good.
However, something tragic happened.
Susie begins his choke-style performance.
The first time Brandon Rush touched the ball, he was directly intercepted by Su Xi at the top of the three-point arc in the Lakers half. That turned into a Ricky Davis dunk.
Then, after halftime, during a quick pass, Su Xi jumped up and directly took the basketball away.
The scene was filled with screams.
Phil Jackson also became very interested. He didn't expect Su Xi to be so strong.
He has strength, explosiveness, amazing long arms, and jaw-dropping ability to fold and stretch his body... He is simply born for defense.
To be honest, Phil Jackson believes that Suhi's defensive quality has surpassed that of the fledgling Gary Payton, and indeed surpasses Payton in many aspects.
Payton can't guard the inside.
However, Su Xi was able to go inside and do some work.
Karl Malone caught the basketball at the free throw line... When the Cavaliers switched defense, he went to push it. Malone turned his back and took a step away... But just when he was about to shoot... Su Xi's long arm smacked it down hard. ……Snapped!
Another steal.
Kobe was laughing on the bench, and he was laughing so exaggeratedly.
He liked Su Xi's performance.
At this time, assistant coach Jim Clemons said: "Damn! This rookie got 8 steals today. He also had 10 assists, 5 rebounds and 9 points."
The words just fell.
Su Xi completed the steal again. LeBron James withstood Devin Brown. Devin Brown immediately jumped up and passed the ball, but Su Xi suddenly came out of the diagonal stab and stole the basketball directly.
He went straight to the frontcourt, entered the penalty area, and completed the score with a left-hand layup.
At this time, the fourth quarter was only 3 minutes old.
The Cavaliers led by 11 points.
Phil Jackson's heart was moved, he was really moved.
Suchy reminded him of Dennis Rodman, an aggressive, well-rounded defender full of energy. And Susie doesn't have as much negative news as Dennis Rodman.
Oh my God. At that point, I really should have taken a gamble on the draft.
Kobe actually had his moments when he was right.
He thought so in his heart.
In the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, Su Xi completed his 10th steal. This time it was work in the paint, as Luke Walton passed the basketball to Brian Cook in the paint.
The moment Cook caught the basketball, Su Xi's long arms were already coming... He didn't let Cook lift the basketball, and just took the basketball away from his waist.
When the big screen at Staples Arena showed Su Xi's 11 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 10 steals and 1 block, the whole audience was excited.
Although preseason data will not be included in the career statistics table.
However, looking at the entire NBA history, how many can get a triple-double in steals?
Gary Payton stood on the sidelines and applauded. He was very proud. He kept emphasizing on the Lakers bench: "This kid was taught by me. He is a second-generation glove! MAN! This is a second-generation glove!"
When Suhi assisted Carlos Boozer for a layup, he couldn't help but rush out of the sideline, stretched out his hand and gave Suhi an excited high-five.
Phil Jackson also requested a timeout.
Su Xi received cheers from the audience: Su! Su! Su!
Los Angeles fans gave all their cheers and applause to Susie at this moment in this inconsequential preseason game.
Although LeBron James also had an eye-catching performance in this game, he scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, which is already a superstar level.
But Su Xi's steal triple-double was too powerful.
When James saw all the fans standing up and shouting Su Xi's name, he was a little bit annoyed.
But when he saw Su Xi coming, he still ran over and jumped up to bump chests with Su Xi.
"Jack, you are my Pippin!"
He shouted in Su Xi's ear.
Pippen?
Su Xi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
