178. To have strength is to be able to do whatever you want
Artest had no choice but to pass the ball to O'Neill Jr.
O'Neal Jr. has excellent ball-handling skills, from the face frame to the back basket, and is good at mid-range shooting, but there is a key problem that the shooting percentage is very low, and the shooting percentage is far less high than that of catching the ball.
O'Neal Jr. turned his back to Muhammad and wanted to turn around and cut to the basket, but Rahim completely let Artest go, and waited behind Muhammad for O'Neal Jr. to turn around, O'Neal Jr. reluctantly withdrew his steps and made a mid-range jumper!
Iron!
Ratliff on the inside turned skillfully and pressed Artest and Foster with his long arms to grab the rebound, Raheem accepted the defensive rebound and handed it to Jason Terry, Jason Terry pushed back and passed to Rahim in the middle of the march, Raheem received the ball and stretched out his big arm to quickly put down the basket to score two points.
Raheem went on a rampage today!
……
Today is Rahim's official match to show off his talent in a high-profile match!
From the very beginning of the game, Rahim took the initiative on the court, playing dominantly on both ends of the floor.
Of all the players on the floor today, Rahim's ability value is much higher than everyone else!
The strongest Pacers is O'Neal Jr., whose ability value is now 85, and he has not yet reached his peak, although O'Neal Jr. is already in his sixth season, but he is only 23 years old, and he is not as old as the rookie Tinsley on the same team, and he is not the super power forward who can average 24+10 plus close to three blocks per game in the future, and he is still immature, he only averaged 12 points and 8 boards per game in the first year after leaving Portland prison last season, and the total data of the previous rookie contract four years combined is not as high as the total data of Raheem's rookie year. Rebounds, assists and even blocks are far ahead of O'Neal Jr.
Artest, his average data per game this season is less than one-third of Rahim, and it may be good to be half of Rahim by the end of the season, with an ability value of only 78, mainly in terms of physical fitness and defensive awareness, and it is not the kind of first-class scorer who can guard against Rahim, who averages 24 points per game, and is still far from the peak.
Tinsley is very talented, he is a street ball player who has excellent ball control, and he has a passing sense that is rare for ordinary street players, but he is a rookie after all, and his ability value of 67 is good, which is much higher than Parker's rookie year.
Foster...... Mainly responsible for the handsome.
Reggie Miller, the Pacers, is responsible for key shots and regular time to open up space for others to have good offensive opportunities at close range, but if he is a tough attacker and Raheem, it is not easy for the 37-year-old to score 15 points on the court by running and shooting three-pointers, and now he still has 83 ability points, all relying on shooting.
The strength of the Pacers can threaten the sixth and seventh positions in the East for the 76ers and the Raptors, but it is enough for the Magic team to threaten the fifth place in the East, and the Hawks have a clear advantage in strength.
Plus today Raheem is trying to prove himself and prove that he can deserve the All-Star starting position he wants!
Jason Terry chased Reggie Miller from the outside like a wolfdog on the defensive end and didn't let up for a moment, defensive pitchers don't want much defensive ability, the main thing is to keep up, that's it!
O'Neal Jr. and Artest are only twenty-two or three, and it will take at least two to three years to reach their peak, and they can't get up to the kind of ability that can create a defensive gap for a strong interior defensive team, and when everyone in the Hawks is full of energy, the Pacers can't take advantage of the weakness of the Hawks to overturn the Hawks like last time.
On the offensive end, Rahim began to do whatever he wanted, if Artest or O'Neal Jr. had reached the peak, Rahim would not have been so easy on the inside, but the game did not have ifs, today he was full of energy, went all out, and even began to defend with his brains, Rahim, who was not at all blocked by the Pacers, an old and young team!
In the first quarter, Raheem slashed 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks!
Seeing that Boss Rahim fought so hard today, Liu Mang also took the initiative to block and dismantle Rahim after he came on the court, and then passed the ball to Rahim, five or six out of ten can be turned into assists, while the other three or four out of ten are a little more action for Rahim to get under the basket, not counting assists.
33+9 at halftime, Rahim continued to run wild!
From the start, the Eagles relied on Raheem's dominance on both ends of the floor and kept widening the margin.
If it was the 60-odd Pacers coached by Coach Carlisle two years later, the Hawks would be choked enough, but now this team is still a tender Pacer coached by Isaiah Thomas, a smiling assassin who doesn't know what to do except smile most of the time, Raheem tells people with practical actions that you can do whatever you want if you have strength!
……
……
Rahim's wild remarks must have been amused by some people, and some people looked at his stats and thought that he might have the ability to say this.
But the vast majority, more than ninety percent of the people, saw Rahim's remarks and reacted to ridicule, or even sprayed directly!
In today's game between the Hawks and the Pacers, given the excellent performance of the Pacers in recent times, especially the performance of Artest, who has become famous all of a sudden, they are waiting to see Raheem's jokes and wait for Raheem to be killed by the Pacers.
Everyone is waiting for the result of this game, because there is no national live broadcast, the local TV station in Indianapolis has a live broadcast but it cannot be seen elsewhere, and there is no such thing as text live broadcast in these years, and people have not even been born in this year to watch the live broadcast from the Internet, and of course there is no such thing as online live broadcasting, and the Internet speed requirements are not up to it.
So we are all waiting for the post-match news, there are no other important games today, or this boring mid-season, there is nothing else to pay attention to, and how Raheem performs is the most interesting and most concerned topic right now.
At 9:25 p.m. on January 9, 2002, the NBA official website announced the results of the game immediately after the game between the Hawks and the Pacers ended.
When most people open the website with the mentality of watching a good show, they are dumbfounded!
"Raheem's first 50+ lead the team to beat the Pacers"
The simple and crude title directly speaks about the process of the game.
With 53 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks, Raheem's career high was born!
When Raheem finished the first three quarters and scored 45 points and 15 boards, everyone on the Hawks' side knew that their team was going to produce a 50+ scorer!
After the start of the final quarter, everyone in the Hawks gave the ball to Raheem, and in the third minute of the final quarter, Raheem scored 53 points with a turnaround jumper to help the Hawks stretch the gap to 21 points, and the Pacers called a timeout to announce surrender.
The Hawks may not be one of the top teams in the league, but they are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and the strength advantage is still obvious.
The Smile Assassin originally planned to take advantage of Rahim's possible psychological fluctuations and play badly, and use Artest to just make a wave, but Rahim's mentality really fluctuated, but instead of an explosion of mentality, he was tough to a height that he had never seen before, and began to really lead the team to victory as a top star.
Liu Mang's assists today are called hi, with 8 assists in a single game, setting a new personal high!
After scoring 53 points, Raheem did not accept Emmanuor's advocacy to go up and score 60 points, and went off the court after the Pacers surrendered, and the score in a single game was fixed at 53 points!
People looked at the flag that Rahim set for himself "himself" with unfriendly eyes, but Rahim proved with practical actions that he has that ability!
Many originally neutral fans just couldn't get used to seeing Rahim so "arrogant", and his news was everywhere on the Internet and TV, but they just felt unhappy, and now when they see Rahim's performance, they all think, or vote for him? It doesn't cost anything anyway......
