here we go again!
Su Xi rolled her eyes weakly. Reggie Miller said this too many times, but every time it was just for the occasion, so Su Xi inevitably had the feeling of 'crying wolf'.
However, something unexpected happened to Su Xi.
Five seconds after Reggie Miller said these words, Su Xi's brain suddenly felt a throbbing...a content energy mixed with huge experience and skills was input into his brain.
"Super ball-free movement, catch-and-shoot talent"
A huge amount of information was stuffed into Su Xi's brain and muscle memory. Su Xi instantly had a deep understanding of positioning without the ball and shooting after catching the ball, and established an intuitive feeling. This is the enlightenment of more than ten years of water grinding.
It's like Xu Zhu in Tian Long Ba Bu suddenly has Wu Yazi's decades of skill.
Su Xi's current super talent value that her body can bear is 92%. This initial point is higher than other talents. After all, this is a pure technical talent. Reggie Miller's physical talent is not as good as Su Xi's, but he is taller and has a higher shooting point.
With Su Xi's level of talent evolution, he will definitely be able to outdo his opponents in the future.
Su Xi's current integration level has not reached 92%, but is probably about 85%.
This is already a qualitative leap in improving Su Xi's offensive strength.
Su Xi was ecstatic, and he looked at Reggie Miller with eyes filled with joy and gratitude. At the same time, I also lamented that Reggie Miller really would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. The team only shows its sincerity at this critical moment. Wouldn't it be better for you to show your sincerity earlier?
There was another thing Susie didn't expect. He originally thought that Reggie Miller's super talent was shooting and catching the ball. Unexpectedly, it also comes with off-ball movement.
The ability to move without the ball is as important as catching the ball and shooting, and the two actually complement each other.
Shooting is the end, and running without the ball is the process. It doesn't matter if the shot fails, but in the process, you can stretch the opponent's defense, which can also achieve tactical effects. After all, not every run leads to a pass and a finish.
Su Xi returned to the locker room with a relaxed and comfortable smile on his face. His improvement in strength made him more energetic.
Although the body is exhausted and exhausted.
When his teammates saw how tired he was, they were still all smiles.
Everyone was extremely moved.
Even though Jack is like this, he is still infecting us with his smile. He tasted all the hardships himself and shared them with laughter.
I can't go on like this. I have to play harder in the second half. Winning is everyone's business, and we can't just rely on Jack.
"Jack, you have a good rest. It's up to me in the second half. I will definitely break through all their defenses." Artest has a straightforward personality. He says whatever he thinks in his mind: "You don't need to use a smile to hide your fatigue. We can all see that you tried your best. I will not let you down, my leader!"
Artest's feelings for Su Xi at this time can be described as sincere.
He admires strong people, and Su Xi is the extremely strong person in his heart.
Artai's words represent everyone's aspirations. People's hearts are made of flesh and have feelings.
Su Xi's almost desperate play in the last moment of the first half moved everyone. This is the so-called leadership temperament, driving teammates without knowing it, making them unable to help but work hard and work with you.
'...'
Su Xi's head was a little numb at this time. He felt that Artest had done too much in reading comprehension, and the expressions of his teammates were strange.
I just smiled. Am I happy?
How is this different from 'Why did the author write that the curtains were blue'?
The curtains are originally blue.
Carlisle came over and patted Su Xi on the shoulder and said to him: "You should have a good rest first."
Su Xi simply stopped talking. Since some combination of circumstances had inspired the morale of the whole team, and he was indeed unable to play now, he simply stopped talking.
He was lying on the chair. At this time, the team doctor thoughtfully brought a stool for him to put his feet on.
Afterwards, give him a relaxing massage.
Carlisle began to lay out his tactics for the second half. The atmosphere in the locker room was unprecedentedly serious, unprecedentedly focused, and unprecedentedly united.
Su Xi spent all his energy in the first half. This fighting spirit moved and inspired them. Even water cooler players like Scott Porat are beating their chests indignantly and asking for a fight. Others such as Bender, Williams, and Crohill also have to fight to the death with the Pistons.
After all, they are already leading 2:0, and they don't want to miss this opportunity.
Although professional athletes seem to have a long career, there are only a few opportunities to reach the finals.
Su Xi was lying next to him. He just wanted to recover his physical fitness quickly. Once he recovered, he would have greater confidence to beat the Pistons to death.
…
At the same time, in the Pistons locker room, Larry Brown could not conceal his excitement. This well-informed head coach also had a premonition that the balance of victory was completely tilted towards him.
"Little Suzy the Sheep is at the end of his tether, and his fuel tank is completely out of gas."
"He is the heart and soul of the Pacers. Once he goes off the court, only Artest can beat two outsiders with his body. Xiao Ou is a softie, and Reggie Miller's three-pointer is not a concern. We will soon be able to Destroy them, and not just destroy them tonight.”
The Pistons assistant coach spoke excited words in the locker room, and everyone was in high spirits. They felt the thrill of stepping on the league's first team with 71 wins in advance.
The greater the achievements Susi and the Pacers create in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs, the happier they are now: because this is making wedding clothes for them.
The Pistons' locker room is filled with happy air, and many beautiful imaginations are happening in their minds.
…
"The little sheep Susie was helped down. He may not come back in the second half. He is very important to the Pacers. He is the only player in the Pacers who can really cause damage to the Pistons."
Kenny Smith said during the halftime break: "The Pistons did not play 100% of their strength in the first half, and the Pacers were already overdrawn to 120%. They could not play better than the first half. So, I’m making a bold prediction here.”
"The offensive and defensive momentum of the two teams has completely reversed."
"The Pistons will win 4 games in a row and defeat the Pacers with a total score of 4:2!"
Kenny Smith made a bold and certain prediction at half-time.
Charles Barkley smiled and said, "Kenny, I disagree with you. How about we take another gamble? That jackass missed you."
"Fuck you, Charles, what nonsense are you talking about as a guy who has no championship." Smith was furious: "Do you still think the Pacers have a chance to win?"
"Of course, do you dare to bet?" Barkley deliberately provoked Kenny Smith.
But Smith learned wisely. He said sanctimoniously: "There are many children in front of the TV, and I don't want them to think that basketball commentary is a vulgar job."
He stopped gambling.
The children and adults in front of the TV were all disappointed.
…
The second half of the game started quickly. Su Xi did not go to the bench. He stayed in the locker room to rest. He even lay on a massage table. A trainer was with him and helped him relax.
Susie ate two burgers and three steaks: many athletes have to eat a lot during halftime. In Wade's words, it is normal to lose two or three pounds after a fierce game. If you don’t replenish your energy during the intermission, many people won’t be able to carry it.
But Su Xi did eat much more than usual this time.
Su Xi was lying on the massage table watching TV. The whistle sounded and the game started.
Coach Carlisle used Frazier Jones, Artest, Bender, O'Neal Jr., and Tony Barty as starters for the second half.
Bender, O'Neal Jr., and Tony Barty are all inside players.
The overall height of the walker is still very high.
From the beginning of the game, Bender made an outstanding contribution.
The Pistons tried to open up the situation on the outside. After Billups made a surprise attack, he passed the ball to Prince. Prince made a confident and bold move, but Bender opened his arms and enveloped him like a flying bat... Bang!
The basketball was slapped out of bounds by him.
'Garnett No. 2' shows some Wolf King style, and their bodies are also very similar. If Bender is beating his chest and roaring to the sky at this moment, it must be the best imitation show in the NBA.
The game continues.
The defensive stickiness displayed by the Pacers did not stop when Su Xi rested, and Larry Brown's smile on the corners of his mouth was a little stiff.
Although he still has a lot of confidence, he has to admit that the Pacers are causing huge trouble for the Pistons.
The Pacers played very energetically, and Carlisle violated the rules and continued to mobilize his troops. Foster, Pollard, Crohill, Williams, Anderson, Miller... kept rotating.
Carlisle turned the crucial Eastern Conference Finals into a war of attrition.
From a normal basketball philosophy, the more critical the game, the fewer players should be rotated, the better.
The less players rotate, the more stable they are and the less likely they are to make mistakes.
But now, Carlisle has no choice but to do this.
Fortunately, the Pacers players are very competitive. Each of them plays very aggressively and is very motivated. Frequent deployment of troops will make the Pistons' defensive rhythm constantly adapt, which will give the Pacers many opportunities to take advantage of.
Although the Pistons were eager to deal with the Pacers, at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers still led by 1 point.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Pistons tried to speed up. They were worried that Su Xi would return to the court after resting.
However, there is a saying that haste makes waste.
Their offense was somewhat unsatisfactory, and the defensive end also became difficult due to the crowd tactics used by the Pacers in advance, especially their backcourt rebounds, which were frequently taken down by the Pacers and turned into secondary offenses.
Under the cover of Borat, Tony Batty and others, O'Neal grew bigger and braver.
Artest also improved his offensive efficiency from the outside.
Miller's three-point shot is still deadly.
Therefore, with 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Pacers still maintained the lead.
At this time, Billups hit two consecutive three-pointers, and he took the lead in opening up the situation.
At this time, Su Xi had already cultivated himself. He had a certain foundation to return to the court. He quickly got up and wanted to return to the court.
But at this time, the trainer told him that the sneakers were placed in the physical therapy room next door.
Just now, Su Xi was lying on the massage table and was pushed over. She took off her sneakers and put them there.
Su Xi quickly asked him to get it, and he ran out of the locker room himself.
When the trainer brought the sneakers over, Su Xi put them on, and he took the time to run to the court.
But at this time, something Su Xi didn't expect happened.
Pistons staff deliberately blocked the player tunnel.
What the hell...Larry Brown is really doing everything he can.
This was something he had already prepared. He didn't want Su Xi to return to the court to stage some kind of return of the king.
Su Xi argued hard.
The security guard's explanation was reasonable: "A piece of the ceiling has fallen down in front, posing a safety risk. We must wait until it is repaired before we can let him in. This is the rule of the arena."
They have put up a cordon in a decent manner, and there are workers doing repairs in front.
Su Xi said that she could not even take responsibility for safety.
Anyway, Su Xi was not allowed to pass.
Su Xi said that she would call the police, but the security guard said that it was useless to call the police.
Having to find a second passage, he tried to take a detour.
But as Suzy searched for a path, a huge scream erupted at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
It seemed like he had hit a key goal.
broken.
Su Xi screamed inwardly.
He felt very regretful and would not have rested in the locker room if he had known better.
About another minute later, some more noise erupted in the arena.
After a while, Su Xi saw an excited Artest rushing over, his mouth full of blood.
Won! Won! we won!
He opened his mouth wide and shouted excitedly.
When Su Xi saw Artai, she was surprised at first, and then became happy.
"Did we win? Did we win?" Su Xi asked impatiently.
Artest hugged Su Xi and said: "Yes, we won! Reggie Miller completed the Miller moment, he killed the Pistons."
"It was my steal, my steal. I exchanged a front tooth for a chance to win." Artest said very excitedly.
His blood dripped onto Su Xi's shoulder, but Su Xi didn't care.
He hurried to the locker room, he wanted to watch TV, he wanted to watch the last wonderful moments.
This was completely beyond his imagination.
When he came to the TV, the picture showed the Pacers celebrating wildly... Because of the delay, the picture showed Artest running back to the tunnel covered in blood.
"3:0! 3:0!! Incredible, the Pacers created a miracle at the Palace of Auburn Hills. They took away a victory. Even when Jack was absent in the second half, they still took away the victory. The first in the league deserves to be the first in the league. !The 71-win team truly deserves its reputation!”
Charles Barkley's very excited shout on television.
He cheered for Indiana.
Kenny Smith, sitting next to him, was depressed and depressed.
This defeat hit him hard. He didn't expect the Pacers to come back at the last moment?
Reggie Miller went crazy like a teenager and completed the buzzer beater 2 meters away from the three-point line.
The most important thing is that Artest actually grabbed the basketball under the iron elbow of the Wallace brothers, and smashed the basketball onto Rasheed Wallace's instep and bounced it out...
"They ran out of luck."
