Cassell claimed that Su Xi was guarded by him purely to put his face on the line.
Su Xi was guarded by Garnett.
Garnett this year is so terrifying, he has completely reached the peak of his career. As of now, he is averaging 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game this season.
how to say? Ranked fourth in scoring, first in rebounds, tenth in blocks, top 30 in steals, and first among post players in assists.
This proves his omnipotence.
Both talent and technology have reached the top level in history. Especially on the defensive end, it can be described as overwhelming.
This is why so many rookies get high picks just by looking like Garnett.
Su Xi has seen many Garnett secondaries, Miles and Bender, but none of them can even remotely compete with Garnett.
Suhi was made very uncomfortable by Garnett's tracking defense in that game.
With Su Xi's current assault ability, not to mention Cassel's one-step defense, or even two-step defense, he can get through and get in for a layup.
But Garnett was like an octopus. He used his excellent movement, amazing anticipation, terrifying long hands and feet, and accurate timing to greatly reduce Suxi's offensive firepower.
Of course, another reason for Susie's poor performance in this game is that Reggie Miller and Ron Artest are very strong. Once they are strong, the Timberwolves shrink unscrupulously.
This is a strategic issue.
It's not Su Xi's personal problem.
In fact, after that game, Kevin Garnett also praised Susie. He said Suhi was him on the back line.
This assessment was rated by Rick Carlisle as the most accurate assessment of Jack to date.
Carlisle had a very close relationship with Su Xi, and he often talked with Su Xi at night. He said to Su Xi that night: "You averaged 13.6 points per game this season, which is actually not low. However, it is difficult to hit 30 or even 40 points with your current methods. This is the same as Kevin Garnett. You are all perfect teammates."
"But it is not the ace. The core of the ace needs to attack with the ball, pass the ball to create, or both. KG is lacking, and so is 伱. KG is the third best super insider in this era. I can say that his Space without the ball, passing creation, assisting defense, series... these are all better than Shaq and Duncan. However, on the offensive end, he cannot go deep and kill opponents in the low post to create a double attack. On the defensive end, he cannot be like Duncan. He can control the entire penalty area by himself, let alone fill the basket with strength like a shark."
"So. Some critical critics will complain that KG is weak at critical moments and his ability to take over the game is not like that of a superstar."
"However, when he is on the court, the team operates smoothly and the team's defense is extremely sticky."
"You have that tendency now too."
"But I don't want you to continue like this."
"Your breakthrough has not yet shown its greatest threat. With your speed, strength, and explosive power... you are completely more lethal."
"I want you to be selfish, and I even want you to score in the two most difficult corners of the court."
"Don't listen to the bullshit of those basketball experts and don't pursue the so-called efficiency. They don't understand basketball at all. If a player can score points in the two most difficult corners of the court, then the entire team will benefit from this, no matter whether he is playing What tactics? Triangle offense, Princeton, pick-and-roll tactics..."
Rick Carlisle firmly gave Susie confidence when he was questioned.
This was very important to Su Xi. He gave Su Xi firm courage and endless confidence.
Su Xi was very moved.
"By the way, if I chat with you like this every day, it won't affect your finding a girlfriend, right?" Carlisle couldn't help but say at the end. "Even though Indiana is a bit conservative, if you want to go out and have fun, you can. Reggie has a lot of secret places..."
Su Xi smiled. Sometimes he felt that Carlisle might be Jim Carrey pretending to be deliberately trying to trick him. Otherwise, how can any normal head coach encourage him to make wild shots and support him to go out and fool around.
"I'm not of legal drinking age in Indiana yet, and I can't go to many places. The whole of Indiana knows that I'm only 19 years old." Su Xi spread her hands helplessly.
Do you think Su Xi is not itchy when he listens to Arte Afobati Miller and the others talking about adult skills every day?
He can't help it.
Moreover, now he has many endorsements, and his image is very important.
It doesn't matter if you are in a normal relationship, but if you go to a gold club to play and are photographed and exposed, your commercial value will plummet.
…
"I'm not very interested in starting the All-Star Game. But I don't think Jack can beat me in the voting. I also have a lot of fans in China."
Allen Iverson showed off his strong confidence to the media before this game.
The Sixers have been worse every year since Larry Brown left, and Iverson's personal peak has also stayed in 2001.
Su Xi had a little trouble guarding Iverson alone tonight.
Iverson's speed, explosive power, agility, coordination, and jumping are all super strong, and he has long figured out an offensive style that perfectly suits him.
Suhi is still a little weak against speedy and agile guards, but he defends very tightly, and he strives to keep up with Iverson's talented output.
Allen Iverson brought a long-lost improvement to Su Xi. Su Xi's super speed talent was improved to 98, and his super coordination talent was improved even more, to 93... about to enter the super realm.
The improvement in coordination talent has allowed Su Xi to control her body better, especially in layups after losing balance under confrontation, and her accuracy has soared.
Su Xi also took crazy shots in this game. He and Iverson attacked each other's penalty area.
With the encouragement of Carlisle and the support of his teammates, Su Xi frequently entered the paint area. The Sixers were without Kevin Garnett.
Susie's strengths were on display.
Su Xi played 25 minutes, took 19 shots, and hit 11. He scored a career-high 27 points. Extremely efficient.
"Yes, that's how you should play. Jack. I feel that if your physical fitness improves a little more, you have a great chance to hit 40 points." Carlisle encouraged Su Xi: "We need someone who can directly enter the penalty area from the top of the arc and tear apart. A warrior who breaks defenses."
Su Xi nodded.
His talent level is already very high now, and he also has many mismatch advantages.
Instead, he now feels that his technical level cannot keep up with his physical talent.
The win over the Sixers was a watershed moment.
Suhi scored 21 points, 22 points, 19 points, 18 points, 20 points, 25 points and 19 points respectively in the next 7 games in December.
This is all based on averaging 25.5 points per game. This is a very amazing scoring efficiency. You must know that this season, McGrady, the highest scorer, only had 28 points, and Iverson, the second highest scorer, had 26 points. It is not the non-contact style of play more than ten years later. These are all scores scored by Su Xi using his body.
Su Xi's physical fitness is limited, and he focuses most of his energy on offense, so his steals, assists, and rebounds have declined.
However, the Pacers won 8 consecutive games as a result.
The Pacers are too strong.
As Carlisle said, they can accommodate an inefficient scorer, not to mention Suxi's entry into the penalty area is of great help to the overall tactics.
"We can finally understand why Cleveland traded Suzy the Lamb. Is there any difference between Suzy the Lamb now and LeBron James? I feel like they are playing the same kind of basketball. It's just that LeBron is taller and has a better passing level. Some. And Suzy the Lamb has better ball control."
Before New Year's Day, the New York media said sourly that their current mood was sour grapes.
Suhi was selected by the Knicks with the No. 8 pick in the draft, but now Suhi's achievements have nothing to do with them.
The New York media long ago revealed that James Dolan was furious about the trade on draft night. When the Cavaliers were involved in the trade, the Knicks were also chasing after him, but in the end they failed to get what they wanted.
Now they feel uncomfortable watching Su Xi competing with LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in the new generation. Especially after Darius Myers was exposed last week in a nightclub with two female models playing a game of pouring red wine, they hated the two bastards who had made the deal even more, and repeatedly pulled them out to whip their corpses.
So much so that Isiah Thomas was so handsome that they saw him.
Isiah Thomas was on the sideline at the Pacers-Nets game.
The Pacers lost to the Nets in this game and failed to reach their ninth consecutive victory.
Jason Kidd did a good job of restricting Suhi in this game. He kept driving Suhi to Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin is an excellent inside help defender. He made Suhi's offense struggle. .
Moreover, Jefferson performed very well tonight, hitting consecutive 3-pointers.
In addition, Su Xi's physical problems also became the reason for the failure. Su Xi hit the critical moment, he had no energy left, and was passed by Jason Kidd twice.
In the end, the Nets won the victory.
Su Xi took 21 shots, hit 7, and scored 17 points, which was very inefficient.
Although it is normal for NBA players to have ups and downs in the game, and his teammates did not express any dissatisfaction with him, he himself felt very guilty.
After the game, Susie took a leave of absence. He took a leave of absence. He was going to participate in the filming of a commercial, and he also made an appointment with Jessica Alba.
When he went to the parking lot to find Mike O'Connor's car ready, he ran into Isiah Thomas.
The Smiling Assassin spent the entire night yelling at him from the sideline to remind him how to handle the basketball, and he acted more like a coach than Carlisle.
Jason Kidd even said something to the Smiling Assassin in the fourth quarter: "Even if you play in person, you can't guard me."
This sentence made Su Xi very angry.
Isiah Thomas dismissed Jason Kidd with a neither salty nor bland sentence on the sidelines: "When will you win the championship and the Finals MVP before you talk trash to me."
Now, meeting Isiah Thomas here, Su Xi smiled and nodded to him. He also said: "Thank you for your guidance on the court, but I didn't learn the essence."
"No, you are very good. You are better than the 19-year-old me."
Isiah Thomas stretched out his hand, and he and Susie shook hands and bumped chests in a black-style greeting.
At this moment, the elf that had been sleeping in Su Xi's head for a long time woke up, and it reminded: "Capture the acquired super talent, the super low center of gravity rhythm talent."
Su Xi was startled and subconsciously stared at the smiling assassin with wide eyes.
Isiah Thomas smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, I didn't mean to be ironic. The media has ruined my image. They all think that I am a negative character. But in fact, I am a sincere person."
"You look anxious? Where do you want it?" Isiah Thomas asked.
Su Xi subconsciously answered the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.
"I'm just on my way, can I see you off?" Isiah Thomas said to Su Xi.
"Okay." Su Xi nodded, and he agreed by mistake: "Thank you."
After getting to the car, he called Mike O'Connor and told him that he was already on the bus to New York and asked him not to arrange a driver to pick him up.
Isiah Thomas chatted with Susie for a while about the customs and customs of Indiana. After all, he had worked there before and he was familiar with the Pacers. It can be said that the current team of the Pacers was created by him.
He didn't have a good impression of Larry Bird.
"That guy is just claiming to be from Indiana, just like LeBron is claiming to be from Cleveland. Cleveland traded you, Indiana kicked me out. They picked my peaches and claimed I didn't grow the peach tree, which is ridiculous. "
When Thomas said this, he was like a child whose toys had been robbed.
Very angry.
Su Xi didn't know how to comfort him. He just said: "Do you historical superstars also quarrel like children?"
"Hahahaha." Thomas laughed heartily and said, "Of course, sometimes we are more noisy and more childish. We often stop others from playing with someone."
"Are you that certain person?" Su Xi teased.
"No. Before Jordan became the so-called God of Basketball, I was the one who stopped a bunch of people from playing with him. I didn't even pass the ball to him in the All-Star Game." Isiah Thomas said very enthusiastically, these Chen The story of the year is also part of the NBA and the reason why fans continue to pay attention.
Su Xi laughed. Then he said seriously: "I think you are quite strong. You are the only person who has killed Jordan, Magic and Bird. By the way, you are called 185, are you really 1.8 meters tall?"
"Of course there is." Thomas said firmly: "I once measured a barefoot score of 180.5 in the morning."
Su Xi smiled at first, and then became awe-struck.
He achieved such high achievements with such a small stature, but in the end he was overshadowed by the "Bad Boys" and became a background villain to the God of Basketball.
It's a bit sad.
"Carlisle has been asking me to watch your video tapes recently. He hopes that I can learn more concise and more lethal assaults from you." Su Xi said.
"He is still very knowledgeable." Isiah Thomas commented: "He is a good coach. You can learn a lot from following him."
"However, it's a bit ridiculous to watch video tapes to learn techniques. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. You lack these now. Your speed, strength, and explosiveness are all very good, but your skills are average. That's why Jason Kidd The reason that can drive you into the trap." Isiah Thomas said seriously: "My secret is actually very simple, lower your center of gravity...and it's gone in a flash! Phew!"
Isiah Thomas is lifelike.
Su Xi was very shocked and surprised. He said to Thomas: "Are you really willing to teach me your strongest super low center of gravity rhythm?"
