When Ron Artest faced Susie, Larry Bird was not surprised, he was only pleasantly surprised.
Previously, Artest kept saying on the bench: Listen, the person who performed the last ball must be the little sheep Suzy, it must be that kid. That guy has the bloodthirsty killer gene, LeBron is just a willful child.
Rick Carlisle agreed with his risky decision.
When it was finally Susie who executed the last shot.
It wasn't just Ron Artest who excitedly blackmailed Reggie for a $1,000 bet.
Rick Carlisle and Larry Bird were also relieved.
To be honest, Reggie Miller on the court was also very pleased, even though he lost $1,000. But he was not mistaken.
Miller, Carlisle, and Larry Bird had the same mood: Jack! Throw the damn ball in!
Yes, they are the Pacers camp, but they support Su Xi to complete the victory.
This is a very complex psychological emotion.
Human emotions are strange.
Because they will start from the profit point... For them, Su Xi's hit at the moment can get the greatest profit return in the future.
Just like LeBron James, he can't catch the ball now, and he hopes Su Xi won't complete the buzzer beater.
Because from his own interests, he really didn't want Su Xi to be in the limelight anymore. He had already been in the limelight enough times. At present, the entire locker room only knows about Su Xi, the little sheep, but not the Chosen One.
Su Xi slowly switched his dribbling trajectory and adjusted his center of gravity under Ron Artest's defense.
At this time, his super coordination talent has reached 86.
The super flexibility talent reaches an incredible 100, plus the super explosive talent reaches 98, and the super speed talent reaches 94.
If it were another rhythm-disrupting defender, Su Xi might suffer due to his lack of strong attack skills.
However, Artest and Su Xi's defensive methods are similar. They resist the power when they come up, push the bottom plate, and interfere with their hands.
Looking at the entire NBA league, which point guard has a more solid groundstrokes than Su Xi.
Artest has a tonnage advantage, but his absolute power is not stronger than Su Xi. Because after Su Xi's battle with Karl Malone, his super strength talent reached 95.
He is already an out-and-out talented monster in partial subjects.
Su Xi suddenly took his first step, and Ron Artest subconsciously turned aside.
At this moment, Su Xi made a slight movement to change direction.
Artest is a shrewd defender, he caught it quickly, and he quickly adjusted his focus.
But the moment he adjusted his center of gravity, Su Xi suddenly burst into flames, unleashing his speed and explosive power.
Su Xi's impact is not much worse than that of LeBron James, and his strength is stronger... he can squeeze past Ron Artest's defense in an instant.
Artest quickly retreated to pursue, but when he was pursuing.
Su Xi stopped suddenly and retreated.
In a moment of relaxation, the two men suddenly opened a defensive distance.
Su Xi retreated to the three-point line, and he shot a jumper...the basketball was softly pulled out of his left hand...Artest's block was in vain, and he failed to even provide the minimum interference.
The basketball flew higher and higher from Artest's panic expression, and then drew a perfect arc and showed a falling posture.
Beep!
The whistle sounds at this moment and the game is over.
Uh-huh!
The basketball hits the basket softly.
Killer!
Su Xi's second buzzer beater this season!
This time it’s a buzzer-beater!
He left no chance for the Pacers.
boom!
The whole place was boiling, like a sound wave exploding.
The Gond Arena could no longer contain their passion. They burst out with strong passion, and then shouted in unison: Su! Su! Su!
Susie spread her hands towards Artest and smiled: "I like the look on your face. It's worth a fortune, man."
Artest was instantly freed from the confusion and disbelief. He made a fierce gesture and yelled at Su Xi: "Next time we meet, I will definitely beat you up."
"hehe."
Su Xi smiled. "Next time? Let's talk about it next time."
Su Xi turned around, opened his hands, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the uniform shouts of the Gond Arena.
This is his glory alone.
He once again became the patron saint of this arena, no matter how biased they were in favor of their king.
But the law is everywhere!
Carlos Boozer rushed over and interrupted Su Xi's pretense. He hugged Su Xi fiercely: "Hey! Man! I knew you could do it. You just can do it. You can always do it. ! Nothing can stop you, you are the miracle itself!"
All the Cavaliers players rushed over to celebrate with Su Xi.
LeBron James walked over and gave a perfunctory high-five. He took out his jersey, wiped the sweat from his face, and left the arena early.
Su Xi later accepted media interviews.
"There is no technical content, and no big heart is required. Once the feeling comes, the shot will hit."
Suzy spoke to Fox Network reporters about his buzzer beater. He seemed so low-key, but the content of his words was so arrogant: "Ron Artest is the best perimeter defender in the league today. He is impeccable except that he can't guard me."
"The Pacers are very strong. But if they are only as good as they are now, the dream of a championship will have to be put aside for now."
Su Xi then commented harshly on the Pacers.
The reporters present were a little confused. They thought: Jack might be too arrogant. This is the Indiana Pacers, No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. If you provoke them, aren't you afraid of retaliation?
But then I thought about it, Su Xi's behavior during this time was... routine.
He doesn't seem to pay attention to any superstars or super teams.
Fox then interviewed Larry Bird, who vividly recounted Susie's views on the Pacers.
Larry Bird was furious. He said: "This guy is actually mediocre. He just stole LeBron's tactics, that's why he is so good. If I were coaching the Cavaliers, would it be his turn to execute the buzzer-beater?" Basketball must be given to LeBron! Isn’t LeBron more talented than him?”
kindness?
After Bird said this, he left.
The phrase quickly came up on the postgame Q&A table, embarrassing Paul Silas. He could only answer hesitantly: "I don't comment on Larry Bird's remarks."
However, Bird's words still caused an uproar.
Originally, the "internal competition issue" between Su Xi and James was being heated up by the media. Larry Bird's remarks again naturally boosted this momentum.
The news of Su Xi's victory over the Pacers was overwhelmingly pushed the next day, and Su Xi once again topped the list of the five best goals last night. And photos of him arrogantly spreading his arms have been widely circulated in the media and the Internet.
Larry Bird was secretly envious. He felt that Su Xi had encountered a good era of pretentiousness.
The North American Internet has already named Susie's celebration 'God's blessing'.
Bird felt jealous in his heart. He thought, how wonderful it would be if he were twenty years younger and lived in this era of developed television broadcasts and the Internet!
Ron Artest was very angry. He kept stressing to reporters after the game that he would definitely win it back.
He regarded being killed by Su Xi as a great shame and humiliation, especially the rubbish words Su Xi said to him, which made him hate it with itch.
When he told Larry Bird that quote, Bird said, "Remember this feeling and you'll fall in love with him later."
kindness?
Artest couldn't figure it out.
…
Cavaliers general manager Jim Paxson also couldn't figure it out. He looked at Bird's interview. Bird demoted Su Xi to be useless, but... handed him a trade request.
What on earth is he making?
The next day's basketball news was dominated by Su Xi's buzzer beaters.
In addition, the hype of Suzy the Sheep and King James is getting higher and higher, and the media is pushing this wave of public opinion. They like to watch this kind of drama of internal strife among young talents.
If there is no internal strife, they will create internal strife, not to mention that Su Xi and James are now clearly having a conflict over the ball.
Ricky Davis continued his remarks in Boston after Susie's buzzer-beater against the Pacers: "I'm not surprised at all that it was Jack who made the buzzer-beater. What Larry Bird said is simply not true, because LeBron didn't dare to take the final responsibility. As soon as he hit the ball, he knew he couldn't beat Artest."
"LeBron is actually the cancer of the Cavaliers. He does whatever he wants based on his status as the king. In fact, the locker room is more willing to follow Jack's instructions, because Jack can lead the team to win, and LeBron cannot... He can only show his ability A talent that looks great but is actually useless.”
Davis became the number one anti-Zhan vanguard.
This is unexpected.
And because of his status, his words can always arouse public opinion.
Davis has received traffic dividends, and some brands are even looking for him to endorse.
Jim Paxson didn't expect things to get to this point, and he's now under tremendous pressure.
James' management team, including his mother, are putting pressure on Paxson to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Fans are also asking him angrily: Why is LeBron no longer the only leader of the team? Why support the little sheep Su Xi?
Even Nike expressed their concerns. They hope that their two superstars will not get together and both will suffer. If this friction continues, everyone will be in trouble.
So, the situation is now clear.
The Cavaliers need to trade Suzy the Lamb.
However, who can afford the bargaining chip?
Although in the 2003 class, Su Xi's talent was not the best and her potential was not the greatest. But as of now, he is the best performer. He has four doubles, three doubles, two Player of the Week, two Rookie of the Week... His honors exceed those of any other rookie in the same class, including James.
However, there are also voices that are reducing Suhi's transaction value. They analyzed Suxi's technical flaws and talent flaws, and they concluded that Suxi's upper limit is not high, and he is likely to be like Stoudemire. The debut is the peak. He even hit the rookie wall very quickly.
Such a conclusion coupled with pressure from all parties.
Jim Paxson, the inexperienced general manager, was a little anxious. He decided to complete the deal as soon as possible. As long as the price was right, it could be completed immediately.
Regarding the valuation of the price tag, he believes that it is better than the bargaining chip he traded to the Knicks anyway, and it needs to be one or two levels better.
Just then, Mike O'Connor knocked on his office door.
He raised his chin, walked in proudly, and sat down at Jim Paxson's desk with dignity. He then knocked on the table to get Jim Paxson's attention.
This series of actions showed his arrogance and impoliteness.
Jim Paxson held back his anger.
"We have decided to trade with the Indiana Pacers." O'Connor told Jim Paxson: "And you need to change my boss's contract. Change it to a system similar to the second-round pick, that is, before the game is over, After two seasons, my boss had a player option and became a free agent.”
"Huh?" Jim Paxson frowned, furious. He stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the table, and yelled at Mike O'Connor: "Are you ordering me?"
O'Connor smiled, lit a cigarette, and blew out a beautiful smoke ring: "I'm informing you."
"Jim, you don't want Cavaliers fans and team owners to know that you're useless, right?"
"My boss has been restrained. He has been treated unfairly, but he still does his best for the team. Last night he also completed a buzzer-beater to help the team win four consecutive games. When the team faces the choice of two He didn't stand up and argue with LeBron, he didn't divide the locker room. He chose to go away. Hasn't my boss done enough?"
"Are you going to continue to bully him so shamelessly?"
"My boss has the ability to make an entire locker room work for him. The chosen one you hold up is actually a wayward child full of jealousy, resentment and incompetence."
"And if you don't choose our chosen trade partner, I can quickly make the Cavaliers notorious. Although my boss is a kind man, I am not."
"Listen, Jim. You come up with a new contract right now, and we complete the signing. Then call Larry Bird, and I guarantee you can get all the chips except O'Neal, Artest, and Reggie Miller. .”
"It's just a contract modification. You haven't lost anything. You even got perfect advice from a wise genius. Stop being so sullen. You know what your abilities are. You can't handle this well." Things. Listen to me."
O'Connor leaned back slightly and looked arrogantly at Jim Paxson.
He treats Paxson as a weak child.
Paxson felt humiliated. He gripped the table tightly. He almost said a sentence through his teeth: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Yes! Understood correctly."
O'Connor nodded. "Okay, stop showing how angry and strong you are. Complete your work on time. You have already agreed to my plan in your heart."
"For your sake, I will come back the day after tomorrow. It will give you the feeling of a well-thought-out decision, rather than a decision coerced by me."
O'Connor stood up and walked out of the locker room.
From beginning to end, he kept his eyes high.
He has a knack for making people furious.
But Jim Paxson has no other option unless he trades LeBron James and fixes Susie.
