Gary Payton is a little frustrated.
The incident of a disciple starving to death of his master happened to him.
When they faced off again, he found that his defensive level could no longer keep up with Su Xi. He couldn't defend against Su Xi's attack, but Su Xi could use her body and entanglement to make him uncomfortable.
Moreover, Su Xi's pick-and-roll breaking ability is one level better than him... maybe 1.5 levels.
Susie is so soft, the way he gets around screens is incredible, he's simply non-Newtonian, and when you hit him, he's incredibly tough. When it wraps around you, it's like it's made of liquid.
Gary Payton was frustrated frequently in this matchup, and he helplessly spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
Since Susie entered the super realm with several super talents in his body, he has integrated 96% of Gary Payton's super entangled defense, but this 96% has far exceeded the 100% of Gary Payton's peak period. Because Su Xi is harder and softer, her arms are longer and she is taller.
Suhi implemented Carlisle's thinking in this game, and he frequently entered the penalty area.
Moreover, he dared to directly confront O'Neal.
O'Neal is the most powerful strength expert in the league today. He is born with supernatural power, not the kind of strength that Ben Wallace can develop. Therefore, Su Xi wanted to have a chance with him, but she never found a chance.
The main thing is that Carlisle has been sending people to consume O'Neal, from the famous hair and beard artist Pollard, to starting center Foster, to pure human shield Blazek, and newcomer Tony Barty.
These people take turns.
Although O'Neal was able to resolve them one by one, he didn't play very smoothly tonight.
He got into foul trouble too quickly and didn't play enough minutes.
Another main reason is that Kobe Bryant has been challenging the double attack of Artest and Su Xi.
Kobe was a man who climbed to the top, but he felt that the double attack between these two people brought him unprecedented defensive intensity, so he began to swim against the current.
Kobe's philosophy of life is probably 'If you don't advance, you will retreat'.
He is indeed much stronger than the two weaklings of the Clippers. When Su Xi and Artest joined forces, they only stole 3 of him, because he did not pass the ball and did not give Su Xi and Artest a chance, and his The technology is indeed perfect.
The elves all woke up and reminded Su Xi that Kobe would most likely awaken his acquired super talent under such high pressure.
Moreover, he also said: If Kobe awakens his acquired super talent under your defense, you will also have a deeper understanding of this super talent, and both defense and offense will be improved in the future.
When Su Xi heard this, she took the opportunity to attack from a flank.
But Kobe finally missed the finishing touch.
He played 33 minutes, took 33 crazy shots, hit 13, and scored 33 points.
33 No rest.
The Lakers lost this game. They lacked a stable third point outside of the OK combination. During the three consecutive championships, they had Horry, Fox, Fisher, Grant, and Devin George. Now, the most dangerous killer, Horry, is leaving. Fox Grant is too old, Fisher is on the bench again, and Devin George doesn't get much cake.
What else can they do if they don't lose?
The Pacers are not vegetarians, they are number one in the league.
92:86.
The Pacers maintained the lead until the end.
After the game, Su Xi, who scored 15 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, sighed in front of the TV: "It's still a pity. Kobe didn't show a higher level of skills. I thought he would be better than Artest and I." He further developed under the high-pressure defense. As a result, he failed to do it."
Su Xi said it from the bottom of her heart.
Kobe felt Su Xi's sincerity, because they were facing each other, and he also realized that he seemed to be entering another level, but he did not enter.
But the media is making trouble. The Los Angeles media likes to create this kind of arrogant imaginary enemy. They constantly promote Su Xi as a villain, mocking Kobe after winning a game and not taking Kobe seriously. He is an unruly person.
'Disrespect seniors'.
The big hat fell from the sky and landed on Su Xi's head.
This hat was once worn on the heads of Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, and now it has been worn on the head of Su Xi...the inheritance.
Suhi didn't care at all, and was even asked if Karl Malone came back, would you still be confident of beating the Lakers. He smiled: "Before Karl Malone got injured, I had already beaten the Lakers."
"But at that time, Shaq didn't play." The reporter said.
"At that time, I wasn't with the Pacers either." Su Xi said tit for tat.
The Los Angeles Times reporter was speechless.
Su Xi walked away with a halo of victory. He liked the way these guys couldn't understand him but couldn't do it to him.
Incompetent and weak.
The Pacers started their winning streak in Los Angeles, and Suhi seamlessly integrated into the Pacers' tactical system.
November flies by and December arrives.
The Pacers' winning streak climbed to double digits before mid-December, and there was no sign of failure in sight.
Although the media was critical of Susi's offensive efficiency during this period, thinking that he was more iron-clad than Ron Artest.
However, this does not prevent him from being elected as the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week for two consecutive weeks. He averaged 14.8 points, 8.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, surpassing LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, although James averaged 20 per game. +5+5, Wade is also approaching this number.
However, both Miami and the Cavaliers have poor records.
Especially the Cavaliers, even though they're getting a bunch of experienced role players. However, they have been on a losing streak, going from one losing streak to another. When Su Xi left, the Cavaliers were fourth in the Eastern Conference. Now they have fallen to eighth in the Eastern Conference... which means that the competition in the Eastern Conference is not fierce. If the competition in the Eastern Conference was fierce, they would have fallen out of the playoff camp.
Tony Barty has been teasing the Cavaliers in the media whenever he has nothing to do during this period. He made a famous statement on December 3, which was quoted by many media commentators. "In modern society, knights give up the law and choose the king. This is the beginning of their failure. The Cavaliers should be renamed the African Tribal Team, or the Chief and His People."
This sentence caused an uproar.
It was selected by Yahoo.com as James' most cruel sentence this season.
In other words, Tony Batty is an African American. If Su Xi said this, or a white person said this, public opinion would not explode?
This biting quip made Tony Batty the most disliked man in Cleveland.
On December 5, when the Pacers visited Cleveland, even though Tony Barty only played 5 minutes, he was scolded by angry Cavaliers fans for the entire game.
"I don't care. With Jack there is victory and sponsorship, and all they can do is vent their incompetent rage."
Tony Barty is having a great time lately. Although he gave up a lot of salary, he also gained a lot of popularity in China. He also signed three endorsements, one for throat-protecting candy, one for wine, and one for sneakers.
He refuses anyone who comes, regardless of the price.
He became the first person to enjoy the dividends of Suxi's domestic market.
The Cavaliers lost this game by 27 points.
Although many people predicted before the game that Suhi would collide with James, Suhi did not defend James head-on at all. Ron Artest was always there to defend him.
He saw the opportunity and stole two.
In this head-on battle with James, Su Xi scored a near-triple-double of 17 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 steals.
LeBron James' performance was mediocre and he didn't play long. He played 22 minutes, made 4 of 14 shots, scored 12 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds and then left the game.
In this battle, Su Xi won a great victory, both in terms of data and victory.
After the game, Carlos Boozer and Jason Kapono both ran over to hug Susie and congratulated him.
Boozer also told Su Xi: "There have been several meetings within the team to eliminate your influence. Also, Stephen Jackson almost had a fight with LeBron."
Su Xi was not very interested in these gossips and just encouraged them to play well.
Susie's 'revenge battle' in this game was not widely reported by the media. Public opinion in the United States was more inclined to report on LeBron James' achievements. Nike's marketing focus in North America is also on James, and they have higher hopes for James.
After the Pacers won their 12th consecutive victory, the NBA All-Star Weekend announced the voting lists for each team. The Pacers' O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Susie, and Ron Artest all entered the voting camp.
Only three people in the 2003 rookie class were eligible to vote, one was Su Xi, and the other two were closely related to Su Xi. One is Carmelo Anthony, Susie’s teammate in college, and the other is LeBron James, his teammate in the Cavaliers.
Anthony played very well in the Denver Nuggets, averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game. In the Western Conference with many strong players, he led the Nuggets to remain in the top eight. If he can lead the team to the playoffs, he will have the strongest impact on this year's Rookie of the Year.
In fact, there are only these three players who are qualified to compete for the best rookie this year.
James got the 20+5+5 per game that Ricky Davis longed for, but his Cavaliers may not make it to the playoffs.
Su Xi has many great games, including super quadruple-doubles and triple-doubles. And he has already taken up the core position of the Pacers' outside line. Although some people criticize his offensive efficiency is not high, but... the Pacers have never allowed their opponents to have high offensive efficiency. Moreover, the advantage of being first in the league is too obvious.
As these three people entered the All-Star voting list at the same time, many media immediately jumped out and said it was unfair.
Last year, Yao Ming defeated O'Neal and was elected as the starter. Many people feel that if they vote, Su Xi's Chinese advantage will be infinitely magnified.
"This is unfair. Opening a Chinese player to the voting list is bullying other players in the same position. Do you think Suhi the little sheep is greater than Allen Iverson? Do you think Suhi the sheep is better? Is Resi Madi still strong?"
ESPN was the first to express dissent.
This voice quickly expanded in the American media. They all believed that there were loopholes in the All-Star voting rules and they needed to be filled. Only local American fans should be allowed to vote!
The sound was loud, but Stern found it laughable. He dreams of making the NBA a global league, but you actually want to block voting in other regions? Dream on!
Therefore, the media's voice comes down to its voice, and NBA officials are indifferent.
Moreover, due to the media's fueling, Susie's number of votes surpassed Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady on the first day, although the lead was not much.
On this exact day, the Pacers' 13-game winning streak ended.
The Pacers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Under Sam Cassell's defense, Suhi made 3 of 15 shots and only scored 8 points.
After the game, Cassel said disapprovingly: "I don't think this kid is very good. I even let him take a step, but he couldn't score."
This sentence was reported by the media, and ESPN even conducted a special program to analyze Su Xi's offensive level.
They came to the conclusion: Xiaoyang Suxi's offense is the NCAA average. If he only holds the ball and shoots jumpers, he is not even the NCAA average.
They have already begun to predict there: Suzy the Lamb will soon hit the rookie wall.
It's time for him to hit the rookie wall.
Compared with Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, his talent is half a level and one level behind respectively, and his offensive skills are even further behind. Carmelo and LeBron can continue to improve, but what about him? After he has been thoroughly studied, what will be the result besides hitting the rookie wall?
"Suzy the Lamb can definitely become an elite player, and his defense guarantees his lower limit. However, if you want to select him as an All-Star starter, suppressing Iverson and Tracy McGrady, I think it is too ridiculous. And, I completely I don’t think his future prospects can surpass Carmelo or LeBron, and I even think he can’t be compared with Dwyane Wade. These three are all people who want to become superstars.”
"To be honest, it was the strength of the Pacers that delayed his rookie wall. If he continues to stay in Cleveland, he will be exposed in November. In this game, the Timberwolves revealed his true colors." ESPN's famous TV analyst Mike Brin said sharply.
At this time, the Philadelphia 76ers also came to Indiana.
Allen Iverson is the superstar that Su Xi longs to face off against, because...his super speed talent comes from Iverson, and he can integrate faster against Iverson himself.
