108:78.
The Pacers tried their best this night. They successfully limited the Knicks to less than 80 points, and successfully allowed their own score to exceed 100... which is commendable. Because this season, the Pacers have only scored 100 points in a single game three times.
Su Xi scored 28 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals tonight.
He was very efficient and had a lot of gains, and besides the victory, there were two other gains.
First, the super low center of gravity rhythm talent obtained from Isiah Thomas has been integrated to 80%, and the lethality is another level higher than that of Marbury in the opening match.
Second, he was kissed on the lips by the beautiful and sexy Scarlett Johansson in front of basketball fans from the two largest countries on both sides of the Pacific.
Of course, there is a small bonus. After the game, Anfernee Hardaway offered to give Suhi a signed jersey. He took off his Knicks jersey on the spot, signed his name and gave it to Suhi.
Although he said in an interview with reporters: I like Xiaoyang Suxi's playing style very much. He plays very well.
But Su Xi knew that the reason why he was willing to sign himself was because he stole Marbury. Marbury entered one-on-one mode in the third quarter. Hardaway asked him for the ball several times, but he didn't give it to him. The last time, Hardaway was visibly angry. And in that round, Su Xi directly stole Marbury and knocked Marbury to the ground with tyrannical force.
Marbury was in a panic.
After that round, Hardaway went to Su Xi and said: Well done.
'Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. '
Mr. Gu Long is honest and does not want to bully me.
I didn't expect that at this age, Hardaway's body would be in such a bad state, and he would still be angry with Marbury. He is worthy of being the person who pushed Shaquille O'Neal away.
After the game, Su Xi was described by the New York media as "almost escaping from reporters at a sprint speed of 100 meters."
Su Xi's silence was regarded by the media as a "guilt". After all, Scarlett Johansson kissed him in full view of the public.
Su Xi did not accept interviews, but Scarlett Johansson told the media calmly.
"That's right, I like him."
Scarlett Johansson doesn't shy away from it at all.
"But, I heard that he has a close relationship with Jessica Alba, who is also a Hollywood female star. Aren't you worried that Susie the Sheep is actually a Hollywood female star predator? Many men are obsessed with chasing Hollywood female stars. I'm so proud." The ABC female reporter on the sidelines reminded kindly, with quite a 'women helping women' vibe.
Scarlett Johansson raised her eyebrows, she looked confident, and she smiled and said, "Oh, I know Jessica Alba, she's a beautiful girl."
"I'm not worried at all about being hunted by Jack, though. He's my savior, and without him, I would probably be dead."
"I know what a kind person he is, and there are so many qualities in him that impress me. This is why I am full of curiosity and affection for him." Scarlett showed her love generously in front of the camera.
Jennifer quickly dragged her away. She didn't want this careless girl to continue talking about nonsense that was carried away by love.
But her words have already been broadcast.
And caused an uproar.
The media really likes this kind of gossip about women chasing men.
In the past, when there was no such news, we had to create this kind of news, and now it is delivered to our doorsteps.
"Scarlett boldly expresses her love for Susie the sheep"
"Hollywood Sexy Female Star Falls in Love with Basketball Newcomer"
"Two new-generation sexy female stars crashed into each other, and they actually fell in love with the same person"
"Chasing Love Bravely and Kissing the Handsome Basketball Player at Scarlett Stadium"
"..."
The next day, entertainment media across the United States were excited.
Britney hasn't been doing much work recently, and Madonna is also dating a fitness instructor. The entertainment industry has suddenly become quiet, which makes everyone not used to it.
Now, suddenly, two new-generation sexy female stars appeared chasing a handsome NBA player, and the traffic started to surge upwards.
The North American entertainment industry has not been so lively for a long time. Suddenly, Su Xi’s previous news was also revealed.
Su Xi's appearance, background, and legendary growth story immediately attracted entertainment fans.
This is simply an idol-level handsome guy.
He can actually play basketball.
Perfect!
The entertainment industry couldn't help but carry out a kind of "collective unconscious" packaging behavior for Su Xi. Su Xi repeatedly appeared on major entertainment channels and was extremely popular!
But at this time, the sports media is adding insult to injury.
They don't like players to be involved in too many gossips, especially if they are involved with women in Hollywood. They think this is the beginning of trouble and the beginning of players' degradation.
All of a sudden, the sports pages were criticizing Su Xi for not doing her job properly and focusing on women. She managed to look like an elite player and quickly fell into disgrace.
"When a rookie starts looking for popularity on the sidelines, it's the beginning of his decline. 》
"Susie the Sheep" reminds people of those regrettable geniuses who need correct career planning. 》
"Getting close to the female star will only hurt him. It's time for the Pacers to sigh for their deal. 》
"This is the end of Suzy's All-Star journey, and he deserves a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 》
"..."
There was a lot of public opinion.
So much so that Nike called Suhi in Detroit the next morning. They were working hard to launch a signature shoe for Suhi, and they didn't want Suhi to focus on off-court matters. They worried that Su Xi would be taken away by the glamorous life of Hollywood and eventually disappear from everyone.
Su Xi seemed a little helpless. He told Nike that this was an innocent disaster. I didn't know why he kissed me. In fact, this was our second meeting.
Su Xi's words gave Nike reassurance.
On the one hand, they feel that Su Xi's image can attract female fans and make some women and teenagers who don't care about basketball spend money on him. But, on the other hand, he didn't want Su Xi to get too close to Hollywood. That place was so evil that no player in his prime could escape from it.
They don't want Susie to fall quickly due to the degradation of her private life like Kemp, Coleman and other super geniuses.
Su Xi also felt baffled. He just saved her. How could she fall in love so easily? Maybe she had read too many romances.
"It's probably just a whim."
Su Xi muttered secretly.
He felt vaguely a little disappointed. In fact, on the night he rescued Scarlett, he had an inexplicable dream about having sex with Scarlett.
He didn't know why either.
What's interesting is that in Scarlett's dream, she also had sex, not once, not twice, not three times, not four times, not five times, but all night long.
Susi quickly focused all his attention on the game. Their back-to-back opponent tonight was the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons are Indiana's most important rival in the East, and they both regard each other as a thorn in their side. They have long been inextricably linked.
On the plane flying from New York to Detroit, every veteran player was looking at tactical information with great concentration.
Carlisle even sat next to Su Xi and kept explaining... what he needed Su Xi to do tactically.
He has high hopes for Su Xi.
Su Xi is his most important weapon to crack the Pistons. Before Su Xi came, they had actually played two games with the Pistons, who were also in the Central Division, and were defeated by the Pistons both home and away.
"We need you to keep killing the inside and form a strong aggression against them. Let their defensive attention shrink to the inside, so that we can break their overall defense." Carlisle said.
The Pistons are a system he has trained single-handedly, but now he has to find a way to defeat the Pistons.
No one's mood was more complicated than his.
Su Xi nodded seriously.
He is also full of fighting spirit against the Pistons.
Most importantly, he couldn't wait to go up against Ben Wallace.
Ben Wallace reached the peak of his career this season, although the media likes to call the Pistons a civilian team without superstars. But Ben Wallace quickly became a hot topic with tags such as "misplaced height", "super defense", "infinite strength" and "incomparable fierceness".
Currently, he is second only to Vince Carter in All-Star voting. There is almost a month left before the deadline of January 30. His number of votes has exceeded 1.1 million, only 80,000 votes behind the voting leader Vince Carter, and far ahead of other opponents on the center list including Yao Ming, O'Neal, etc., and even Allen Ai. Super traffic outside superstars such as Ferson and Kobe can't compare to him.
So far this season, Ben Wallace has 9.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 1.8 steals and 1.6 assists.
Second in rebounds, behind Garnett.
Second in blocked shots, second only to Ratliff.
Steals ninth.
This is an era of heroes, but Wallace's role is not only reflected by statistics. He has firmly established himself as the league's number one defender, more than one level ahead of other challengers.
In fact, he has won the best defensive player for two consecutive years. According to his current competitive state and the Pistons' overall tactics, he can continue to win. (Historically, Wallace won the Defensive Player of the Year in 01-02 and 02-03, and one was stolen by Artest in 2003-04. The reason why it was taken away is that Artest is really strong, and the Pacers The record is first, but on the other hand, it is difficult to say that it is not due to some unspoken rules of the league, which does not allow three consecutive games (Howard's three consecutive games in 2011 was because there was really no decent competitor). No disrespect to Artest, But his Best Defensive Player is somewhat similar to Embiid’s regular season MVP. Because after the 2003-04 season, Ben Wallace won two consecutive Best Defensive Players.)
Such a powerful Ben Wallace.
Su Xi regarded him as an enemy.
In the 'Death Note' that Frank gave Suzy, Ben Wallace was the player with the worst words, and he attacked Suzy the most. There are three records in the Death Note.
The first time was when Susie won the NCAA championship and was crowned MOP. Ben Wallace said in an interview with the Michigan Tribune: "He and I are not the same type of players. His style of play is like an acrobatic troupe. His performance, I don't understand why his draft price is so high. He is a completely weakened version of me, and I was undrafted."
The second time was after Suxi got a quadruple-double in the first game. He emphasized in an interview with Fox Sports Detroit: "I have not changed my judgment. If he encounters the Pistons, he will not get a quadruple-double. I am not targeting him. This kid, I just want to say, everything will only hurt you. He should hone his skills at the point guard position instead of thinking about finding a job in the paint. If he encounters the Pistons, he will be dead."
The third time was when Suhi led the team to defeat the Pistons in Cleveland. He said in an interview with NBA official media: "Susi is just a role player, but he is doing the things of a core player. The reason for the Cavaliers' victory was that we did not expect him to be so Bold, but if I hadn't rested that game, it would have been a completely different story."
There was actually a fourth and fifth time.
The fourth time was when Su Xi was traded. He was interviewed by the Cleveland Honest Daily and said: It's dawn! The Cavaliers made the right decision. They decisively chose LeBron, who has a higher ceiling and better talent. Congratulations to them.
For the fifth time, Susie entered the All-Star voting list and was close to Tracy McGrady in the guard voting list. He said: "If this guy becomes the All-Star starter, the value of the All-Stars will drop to an all-time low. I can't imagine playing with him. This is a disaster."
Ben Wallace is full of prejudice against Su Xi.
Normally, he should support juniors like Su Xi. After all, Su Xi's style of play in the NCAA finals was very similar to his. They are all short men who can carry the inside line, and they can defend flawlessly.
But instead of praising him, Ben Wallace repeatedly belittled him. Especially the better Su Xi performed and the higher the market price, the more uncomfortable he became.
Perhaps it was Susie who stung his tragic experience early in his career.
It may be because he wandered around various schools in his early college career, failed to participate in the draft, and was quickly kicked out of the NBA...it was not until he announced that he was 206 with an afro that he gradually became a top star.
"Tonight must teach that bastard Ben Wallace a lesson."
Artest said viciously when he set off to the Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Pistons, at noon.
The last time he came to the Palace of Auburn Hills, he was elbowed by Ben Wallace. He covered his chest and yelled for a foul, and was even called a softie by the Pistons fans on the sidelines!
Artest vowed to fight back.
The assistant coach quickly came over to remind Artest to control his emotions and not focus on things other than the game.
At this time, Su Xi received a call from Bird. Bird encouraged Su Xi to play well in this game. This is the real pinnacle game in the Eastern Conference.
Susie knew what Bird meant beyond the call.
To a certain extent, the Pacers paid such a high price to acquire him just for this peak showdown.
Although Su Xi defeated the Pacers before coming.
However, before he came, the Pacers were already No. 1 in record.
Although Su Xi's winning rate has further improved after her arrival, the icing on the cake is far less significant than providing help in the snow.
What is timely help?
Beat the opponent they couldn't beat before: the Detroit Pistons!
From another perspective, Su Xi must also prove to the world that he is not hiding behind the Pacers' powerful system to play catch-up, he is here to lead the Pacers.
…
This game is still broadcast live in the United States, and it is broadcast live in the United States on TNT.
While Suhi was practicing shooting on the court to adapt to the court, Charles Barkley ran over and pulled Suhi to their cameras, letting Suhi sit in the middle for an interview with him and Kenny Smith.
This is a 'kidnapping' interview.
"Hey, Jack, let's talk about Scarlett, okay? You know, I'm a fan of hers. I've watched "Lost in Translation" no less than five times, and she performed so well in it. Any man will be moved after watching it, But how did you make her take the initiative?" Charles Barkley came up and asked Su Xi about the scandal that triggered the media today.
Su Xi smiled helplessly and said, "Charles, this is a misunderstanding. Last night was the second time I met her."
"The second time we meet?" Kenny said exaggeratedly: "The second time we meet, she will kiss you on the lips."
I think you are lying to me and the audience.
Kenny Smith had that look written all over his face.
"This is a fact." Su Xi spread her palms.
"Kenny, it's normal that you don't understand our handsome guys. When I used to play, many girls would kiss me and ask for love from me even when they first met." Barkley reminded Kenny seriously.
Smith complained crazily beside him: "You spent money on that."
"Shut up, you ugly guy!" Buckley reached out to stop him. He then asked Su Xi: "So, do you have any contact in private?"
Su Xi said: "No. Yesterday may have been a misunderstanding and the media amplified it. I came here after playing the Knicks game. This is a back-to-back game. You also know how intensive the NBA schedule is. Where are the players? Time to fall in love, let alone two loves at the same time as they say.”
Su Xi's sentiments were echoed by the two former NBA players.
Kenny Smith said: "Yeah, that's why some people like to have short-term relationships of about three minutes."
Barkley seemed to be insulted, his black face turned purple, and he roared like a beast: "30 minutes, start!!"
Su Xi sat in the middle innocently. He didn't quite understand what 3 minutes and 30 minutes meant. Doesn't that thing last all night long?
"Back to business, Jack. Let's talk about tonight's game. Now the entire league is concerned about this focus matchup. You are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, but the media predicts that the Pistons are more likely to become the Eastern Conference champions and represent the Eastern Conference in the Finals. , after all, the Pacers lost the previous two games. People think it is difficult for Indiana to defeat the Pistons in a best-of-seven series. What do you think?"
Kenny Smith began a formal inquiry into the ensemble.
Su Xi immediately put away the smile on her face and took it seriously. He said, "That's because I didn't come before. Now that I'm here, the situation is different."
As serious as ever, as arrogant as ever.
Kenny Smith was very happy, and he quickly dug a hole: "You mean, you can lead the Pacers to win?"
"That's why Larry Bird went to great lengths to bring me to Indiana," Susie said matter-of-factly.
"However, Ben Wallace said that after you joined the Pacers, the depth of the Pacers' lineup has been weakened, and your physical fitness is limited and you don't have much playing time. Now the Pacers are just a gorgeous castle in the air..." Kenny Smith continued to stir up trouble. .
"He is very naive." Su Xi said lightly.
"You mean, you can beat him?" Kenny dug in.
"I came here just to do this," Susie said, "and I had already defeated them before I came to Indiana."
Wow!
Wonderful!
Kenny Smith admired in his heart that he enjoyed interviewing Su Xi so much. This kid is so arrogant. With such an interviewee, why worry about low ratings?
Charles Barkley couldn't stand it. He liked Su Xi very much. He went back to make up for it: "Jack, I remember your nickname in the NCAA is Genius Terminator, but tonight the Pistons are a civilian team. I think , this may affect your performance, after all, without genius, there is no motivation."
Su Xi could continue talking, or she could smile.
This is a tailwind.
But Su Xi didn't kick.
He said something that made even Larry Bird feel that his status as "the king" was unsafe, and it was also something that Indiana fans thought was the most domineering in team history.
"It doesn't matter."
"Shoot tigers and flies together!"
Su Xi said this calmly and calmly.
Barkley and Smith's jaws dropped simultaneously.
How crazy! This kid.
Has the NBA ever produced such an arrogant rookie?
