Chapter 35: [It's That Simple]
When the whole team practiced, Suxi was placed in the substitute camp.
Anthony and McNabarra were surprised, but Suhee was calm.
This made Coach Jim Boham a little 'frustrated', he made such an arrangement to make Suhi complain, let Suxi show dissatisfaction, and then he naturally went to 'appease', telling him not to be distracted and not to fantasize about the NBA.
Give a dismount, and then give sweet dates.
Mature coaches are such PUA players.
But Su Xi was very obedient and did not complain at all.
Jim Boham is very passive, and he worries that Suhey's 'silence' is because he has made up his mind.
So, when the joint practice was over, he casually walked to Suxi's side. He asked Suhi: "How does it feel to play as a substitute?" ”
Suhi said: "I obey the coach's arrangement. ”
Su Xi's tone did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
He doesn't fight or grab. For him, it doesn't matter if he starts or comes off the bench, it's about playing against a talent who can accelerate his talent fusion.
Jim Boham's heart is uneasy, he really can't figure out Suhey. In the past, these NCAA coaches were to dry up and make them feel fearful of themselves for non-talented players and non-important core players who did not obey, and then they were educated. In order to make them completely obedient to themselves.
But Suxi didn't eat it.
Jim was afraid that he would be ruthless, and the two of them froze. Even if Suhi can't play in the NBA, he can still transfer schools. There aren't too many NCAA transfer students, and with Suhi's current ability, if he wants to transfer, most schools are willing to accept it.
"Jack, you're still young, and there are a lot of things you can't grasp. You have to be steady now, and I will put you on the bench for the time being, and sometimes sitting on the bench is more tactical. Jim Boham said gently.
"Okay." Sushi agreed.
As calm as always, no complaints.
Jim Boham won't be able to make it up.
He even felt like a child in front of Suhey, jumping up and down.
People are simply indifferent.
…
At the start of the game, Suhi did not start.
This made many fans who came to watch Susie the Sheep unhappy, and some boos rang out at the Madison Garden Arena.
Josh Pace was named to the starting lineup and McNabarra returned to point guard.
The game started in a stark alignment, with McNabarra being controlled by Auburn's Steve Levine, Daniels playing against Josh Pace, Carmelo Anthony taking on their small forward Derrick Bod, and Hakeem defending against Keellingsworth and Craig against Brande Robinson.
Suhi sat on the bench and patiently and attentively observed the movements of the players on both sides. He's learning the big picture of the pitch.
He saw McNabarra isolated by Levine's tall stature, who was not only tall but also nimble, with excellent physical coordination, which is why he was able to play as a point guard with such a tall height.
Levine's other talents are mediocre, but he has a good passing vision, and with McNabarra's defense, he can easily pass the ball to Daniels or other players.
Daniels is Auburn's leading scorer, and eating Josh Pace is like eating mushroom power beans.
Josh Pace is just a goalscorer, and his defense is mediocre.
Carmelo Anthony is a strong individual and can easily clear the defence on the flanks. Derek, who defended him tonight, was only 195 tall, but he was tough, he played extremely tenacious, and he was defeated again and again, giving Anthony a growing threat.
Because Anthony is getting more and more into singles, he has no one around him to share the ball with, and no one to help him attract firepower.
The team's No. 2 scorer, Hakim, was trapped by Keillingsworth, a former high school talent who was getting farther and farther away from the NBA, but in the NCAA he was simply a combination of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace... He's got a lot of power, and a little bit of outside projection... Although his projection speed is about the same as that of a trebuchet.
Syracuse University is visibly passive to the naked eye.
They can only rely on Carmelo Anthony to support alone, Sushi does not play, and their previous silky backcourt connection no longer exists.
In the 7th minute of the first half, Syracuse University finally couldn't hold the tie, and Auburn University took the opportunity to pull away.
In fact, Anthony had already gestured with Jim Boham in the fifth minute. He wanted to ask what the hell was Jim doing, and why didn't he let Jack play?
Jim is also torn by the fact that he believes he can control the situation without Suhey, with Auburn University only the No. 10 seed and Syracuse University the No. 3 seed.
He kept moving troops.
But it has never been able to stop the offensive of Auburn University.
He deliberately didn't call Su Xi's name, but he passed by Su Xi frequently, he hoped that Su Xi would not be able to hold his breath and express his thoughts to him, and then teach him a lesson, and then quickly replace him. However, Suxi was very calm, and he had no intention of taking the initiative to apply to play.
He also smiled at Coach Jim and nodded at him.
There was even gratitude in his eyes.
This made Coach Jim unpredictable about Suhey's thoughts.
In fact, Su Xi thought very simply, he simply believed that Jim kept him on the bench to cultivate his overall view and ability to control tactics.
Coach Jim was so good to him before, he didn't think about 'suppression' at all.
Moreover, Coach Jim frequently dispatched troops, and deliberately 'passed by' his side, which he interpreted as: on-site teaching.
He felt in his heart that he had benefited greatly from these wrong schemes.
In the past, he rarely observed the overall situation, but now under the guidance of Coach Jim, he finally has a preliminary system understanding. He began to take his first steps towards a true point guard.
That's why he looked at Coach Jim with gratitude: "You deliberately keep using the wrong answers in order to develop me."
If Jim knew about Suxi's mental activities, he would definitely collapse: I obviously want to suppress you, I want you to realize clearly that you don't fantasize about the NBA, you can't control it.
Jim glanced at Suhey, who was looking at the court with a calm expression and a fascinated expression.
He sighed: Okay, I'm convinced, Jack, you win.
He really couldn't hold on, and while it was important to cut off Suhi's idea of impacting the NBA, it was even more important to win. It's a winner, a game that will decide the outcome of the season. The top 16 and the top 8 have very different treatments.
I ask for a timeout, a substitution.
There are some calls from the arena: We want Suhi the sheep! We're going to see Suhi the sheep! We want Susie the Sheep to play!
At first, it was still in a state of emanation, but as more and more people shouted.
It gradually became a uniform slogan: Suhi the Sheep! Sushi the Sheep! Sushi the Sheep!
Suhi frowned, a little embarrassed.
This nickname he didn't like from the beginning.
He liked Carmelo Anthony's nickname, Lil-Goat. Goats sound stronger and more powerful than sheep.
He couldn't cover the mouths of thousands.
Jim tried to cover his ears, and he stopped to the point where the pause came to his mouth... He was a bit rebellious at heart.
This rebellion had disastrous consequences.
McNabarra forced a break against Steve Levine, and he was going to help Anthony open the game, he hit the free throw line, made a pull-back jumper... The arc was beautiful, and he finally found a little feeling.
But just as the basketball flew to the highest point, his left foot was slightly weak when he landed, and he hit it on the spot.
Although he fell smartly, the impact of gravitational acceleration still made him lie on the floor and make painful sounds.
McNabara is injured!
Jim Boham's whole face instantly froze... McNabarra is the second-leading scorer on the perimeter and Cameron's right-hand man. When Cameron doesn't feel good, he often solo, carry the game.
Now, he's injured.
Syracuse University is five points behind.
Jim regretted it very much, he knew that all the fault was his own. He shouldn't have played tricks in such an important game, and he shouldn't have deliberately suppressed Suxi and wanted Suxi to listen to him. Not only did it not work, but he played it big and put the game in a desperate situation, and McNabarra was injured...... He blamed himself. He had never abhorred his stupid conceit so much.
"Auburn University is the number one dark horse this year, and after eliminating the No. 2 seed, the No. 3 seed is also almost finished."
The CBS commentator said on television: "The team with Daniels, Levine and Keellingsworth as the core plays too complementary and too strong. I don't think Syracuse University has any way to crack it. ”
"As much as the fans at Madison Garden were shouting at Suhi the Sheep, it would be a mistake to put their hopes in him. They might as well pray that McNabarra is not injured and will continue to play in the second half! ”
As the narrator Barry Sr. spoke, the team doctor asked the staff to push the stretcher in, and McNabara's left shoe was cut open, and then secured with an ice pack to carry the person up...... This scene sent all the fans who supported Syracuse University to rock bottom.
McNabara won't come back.
Syracuse University doesn't stand a chance.
"I'm going to play."
Suhee stood up and walked over to Jim Boham, his eyes unwavering.
Jim Boham didn't expect Suhee to step up at this time, when the team's morale was shaken and many people lost confidence because of McNabara's departure.
"I have a way to beat them."
Suhi continued.
Well?
Jim Boham raised his eyebrows and thought: I don't have confidence, you have faith?
"Just now you asked me to watch their movements from the sidelines, and I thought about it carefully, and I found that they are not unbreakable." "And I don't want McNabarra to go to the hospital with self-blame and a long and torturous offseason," Suhi said. He's a sensitive and kind guy and if we lose the game, he'll definitely feel like he's hurt and he's dragging everyone down. ”
"I'm going to take his share."
Su Xi said very seriously.
His words touched everyone.
Sincerity is always nirvana.
The players came out of McNabara's injury, and the frustration turned into motivation. McNabarra is a good guy and shouldn't have let him end the season with regrets, and if Jack really has a way to crack Auburn, everyone is willing to do more.
This is the biggest difference between college basketball and professional basketball.
Although every collective will have internal contradictions to a greater or lesser extent, the thing that is different from professional basketball is... The sense of belief and unity in college basketball is stronger. Because it is not infected by commercial elements, it is not divided into three, six, nine, etc., and there is no contract competition for the same position, let alone rushing for a data.
Everyone is bent on victory.
Jim Boham was touched and said, "Okay, Jack. The time has come for you to prove yourself. ”
Sushi nodded vigorously.
He then spoke to Jim Boham about his views on tactics, and he also stressed that he could do it.
Boham was surprised, and his team-mates were even more surprised.
Jack would do that?
Backbite!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
Suhi the Sheep, who was called out by New York fans, finally appeared.
At this time, the mood at Madison Garden was a little low.
McNabarra's departure and the team's backwardness left them frustrated.
At this time, the lineup of Syracuse University is: Duanne, Suhi, Anthony, Hakim, Craig.
Levine, a point guard at Auburn University, took the basketball across the halfcourt, and Syracuse University defended the team.
Moreover, this two-three defense is very strange, and Hakim's position and Suhi seem to be on the opposite side.
Levine caught that, and he quickly passed the basketball to the paint and handed it to Killingsworth.
Killingsworth got the basketball, and Sushi defended it.
Although Killingsworth is short on the inside, he still has a slight height advantage over Suhi.
His back-to-back singles technique is rough.
But now it's a misplaced defender.
He turned around, and he forcibly hit Suhi, who was 1.5 times thicker and weighed exactly 1.5 times as much as Suhey.
Theoretically, Sushi shouldn't go alone.
But when Keillingsworth pushed backwards with seventy percent of his force... Burst!
Su Xi, who had stuck in his position in advance, only moved back slightly.
Killingsworth looked surprised.
Suxi couldn't stop laughing.
Keelingsworth is very strong, much stronger than Anthony.
His impact directly increased Suxi's super strength talent fusion from 86% to 88%.
Keellingsworth immediately ramped up to ninety percent and struck backwards again... Burst!
At this moment, Su Xi couldn't help but take a step back.
However, his super strength talent fusion has increased again, directly to 89%.
It's just one step away from 90%.
Entering 90%, quantitative change becomes qualitative change, which is another world.
At that time, Sushi will enter the realm of true power. He's a powerhouse in the NBA.
However, Keellingsworth seized the time to turn around... He has similar problems with Kwame Brown, who is a butter hand who can't catch the ball and loves the pitch and thinks about life. He doesn't choose, and every attack on the court breaks through normal thinking.
Who would have thought that he would turn around at this time.
He actually had to jump up and buckle violently.
Inside him lived a big shark O'Neill.
Fortunately, he did not participate in the 2001 NBA Draft, and with Jordan's unique draft ability, it is really possible to pick him.
At that time, there will be only one person who is truly happy: Kwame Brown.
Killingsworth didn't jump, Suhee stuck to it, he didn't have room to jump at all, he subconsciously jumped again...... Everyone was stunned.
Backbite!
The referee blew him for walking.
He was still angry and slammed the basketball on the floor.
The referee was not used to him and blew him for a technical foul.
Madison Garden was boiling.
The fans started shouting: Suhi the Sheep! Sushi the Sheep!
"Prevented?"
Jim Boham was stunned and unbelievable on the sidelines. The method of cracking the chain attack of Auburn University is actually the simplest two-three defense? Suhey can really stand up to Killingsworth?
So, can he really play in the NBA?
He actually uses it more than McNabara?
The NBA doesn't need a skinny, score-savvy white point guard.
But if it's a point guard who can stand up to the inside, they're going to give it a try.
