Chapter 50: [The first lore of his career, Bird is in action]
The 24-year-old Maddie stood at the top of the arc and watched as James, who was about to turn 19, and Susie, who had just turned 19, made another block. Full of youthful atmosphere.
He then followed James into the paint field, and then he saw James and teammate Davis crash into each other.
Causing a glaring mistake.
Conversion of possession.
He saw James and Davis glaring at each other, a familiar play in the NBA.
Although Maddie is young, he has been in the league for 5 years, and he has seen too much internal strife within the team. Now the situation is obvious, James is going to take the position, and Davis is not willing to step back willingly.
Maddie actually wants to persuade Davis that now that James is the expected superstar, you should step down, retire better, and ensure some privileges. If you really want to break the net, the idiots know who the Cavaliers will choose.
Back in the half, after Maddie received the ball, Suhi wrapped up again. There was longing in his eyes, and he even said to Maddie, "Show me your skills, I want to improve so much." ”
Maddie smiled.
After watching James and Davis's battle for power, I saw Suhi so focused on basketball. He was moved.
So, he went all out to show his skills... Although Suhey's defense caused him a lot of difficulties, it was just that kind of difficulty that could inspire a better him....
He brings his skills to life.
Of course, for Suhi, it's not technology that he wants to improve. It's a 'super-coordination gift'.
When Maddie showed off his coquettish skills in front of him, his super-coordination talent was on full display. Suxi's fusion speed has increased linearly, and it has improved very quickly.
After all, this is the face-to-face acceleration of the original owner.
Looking at Suhi, who is working the court, she is doing dirty work and doing her best to defend Tracy Maddie.
Looking at the intrigue next to him, Davis and James, who almost didn't have 'Gong Dou' written on their faces.
Paul Silas couldn't hide his liking for Suhey, and he even talked to Chuck Daley behind the bench. Chuck Daly had been sitting in the back tonight, and he was engrossed in watching Suhee.
"This guy has a super learning ability and he's always improving. He's a true defensive genius, and he's even more exaggerated than Dennis Rodman's evolutionary rate. ”
Chuck Daly said to Paul Silas: "In the beginning... Maddie cuts his center of gravity and rhythm at will, and while he has good lateral movement and wrapping ability, his center of gravity has been unstable. Now, he's getting better at controlling his center of gravity. He defended well. ”
Chuck Daly was unsparing in his admiration for Suhi.
Paul Silas has a lot of respect for Chuck Daley.
"If you have a little more mobile defense on the inside, the quality of your defense can be improved by a notch or two. Although LeBron James likes gambling steals and has poor defensive fundamentals, he has the potential to be a good helper. "Chuck Daly gives Silas a lesson.
Silas nodded repeatedly.
Towards the end of the first quarter, Suhi came off the pitch to rest.
He sat right in front of Chuck Daley, who asked him, "How does it feel to defend Maddie?" ”
"It's cool, it's enjoyable, it's improving quickly, and I'm very happy." Suhey's eyes lit up.
It's a love from the heart.
Chuck Daley was especially pleased with Suhi's affection, and he was finally able to meet this kind of player who was completely obsessed with defense again. And he's also an outside player, and his defensive quality and defensive foundation are particularly good.
At this moment, Chuck Daly had the urge to come back out of the mountain. But it's just impulsive... His physical condition did not allow him to work so hard.
So, he handed Sushi a business card. He said to Suhi, "This is my business card. Call me, I have some game materials, defensive materials that might help you. ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Sue thanked him again and again, took the business card with both hands, and quickly asked his agent Mike O'Connor to run over from the other side. Tell O'Connor to put the business card away.
Meanwhile, James and Davis on the court are already playing their own set of tactics.
Their division is visible to the naked eye.
In a way, Davis is a bit of a dead end.
He knew that he couldn't compete with James, and he would probably sweep the floor out. But he felt that James was too deceitful, and he wanted to have a fight with James.
This was a bit unexpected.
Interestingly, at the beginning, Ricky Davis and Suxi became close to each other because of his agent, although they still don't talk, but he never let Suxi do any rookie work, he didn't carry a bag to buy anything or anything like that, he didn't make jokes about Suhi, and he didn't fall into the well when Suxi was collectively ridiculed by the media before his debut.
And, when Suhi is on the pitch with the ball, he moves aggressively. Sushi will also pass the ball to him, as long as he is in a good position.
So, when they're both on the floor at the same time, the Cavaliers' offense is the most efficient.
Suhi sat on the bench and rested until the sixth minute of the second quarter, and Paul Silas arranged for him to come on the court, let LeBron take off the court, and also let Jason Capono and Diop follow Suhi on the court at the same time, forming a new lineup with Carlos Boozer and Ricky Davis.
When Suhi came on, the team was seven points behind.
Suhey soon led the Cavaliers to a crushing stance... The Magic rotation without Maddy is simply a mess.
Su Xi is actually very basic, that is, he blocks and dismantles with Boozer, uses the advantage of explosiveness and strength, crushes into the paint area, and gets on his own when he has the opportunity. If you don't have a chance, pass it to Davis, or give it to Abu Akha and let them vote.
On the defensive end, Suhi and Diop formed a good tacit understanding, Suhi drove the opponent to Diop's side, Diop blocked it with a strong body, and Suhi quickly rushed up to wrap around, cause mistakes or direct steals.
Time-tested.
With three minutes left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers took the lead. Magic head coach Doug Rivers hurriedly replaced Maddy, and on the other side, Paul Silas also replaced Davis with James.
James dominates the basketball when he comes on the court, and he doesn't defend Maddy.
James's assault ability is stronger than Suhi's, however, he also has a stronger desire to perform. The team's game excitement has increased, and the fluency has declined.
Suhi was more focused on the confrontation with Maddie, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Because his super-coordination talent is rapidly rising.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at 51:51.
The second half continued.
The rhythm is almost a replica of the first half, when Suhi, James, and Davis are on the court at the same time, the Cavaliers are struggling: James Davis and the two are leaning against each other, and Sushi is quiet and guarding Maddie's wool.
Maddie played well tonight, and although Suhey gave him a stronger and stronger defense, he felt very good... As we all know, superstars have a touch and are hard to be singled out. What's more, the 24-year-old Maddie is the league's No. 1 outside liner, in fact, he has already reached the top when he was 23 years old.
Now, the media is waiting to see when Maddie's peak will come.
Even some media touted that Maddie had a chance to touch the bottom of Michael Jordan's throne: if he went to a superteam, or if the Orlando Magic gave him a super-inside.
And when the Cavaliers fall behind, Paul Silas will let Suhee play a point guard for a while to replace James. The team was able to tie the score quickly.
Time quickly came to the last moment.
There was a dramatic twist at the last moment.
In the penultimate round of the Cavaliers, Suhi served James from outside bounds, but Ricky Davis rushed out to steal the basketball, and he forced a 3-pointer himself.
Bang!
No.
The Magic got the rebound.
Then the basketball was handed to Maddy, and by this time the Magic had a one-point lead.
Suhi used his whole body solution in this round, he forcibly resisted Maddie's next game, Maddie made a quick turn, he shook off some of his center of gravity, but Suxi's coordination talent index at this time had reached 84, he forcibly pasted it, and at the moment when Maddie shot, he accurately predicted that he would jump and stretch his arm in advance to interfere... If it was 10 years later, the ball would definitely blow for a foul.
But in 2003, in the last 2 minutes, the referee barely blew the whistle.
Not to mention this pediatric-level confrontation.
Bang!
Maddie strikes iron.
Carlos Boozer got the rebound, and he passed to Suhi.
Suhi dribbled the ball across half court and quickly called a timeout.
On the bench, Paul Silas hadn't spoken.
Ricky Davis was the first to speak: "Leave the basketball to me, I hit 11 of 19 shots tonight, and some guys only hit 10 of 22 shots. Also, I averaged 20+5+5 per game last season, and I beat the Jazz on November 21, 2002. I have a lot of experience. ”
"However, you've missed a chance." James snapped: "If you had just handed me the basketball, we would have sealed the win. ”
They didn't give in to each other, and Paul Silas slapped the board, quieting them down.
At this time, Abu said: "This ball was defended by Jack, why not give it to Jack?" ”
Boozer made this suggestion.
Paul Silas hurriedly looked at Suhi who was eating melons next to him, and Suxi had a smile on her face... The defense in the last round just now increased his coordination talent stat again, and now it is 85.
He's busy rejoicing.
A 10-point rise in one night is worthy of super coordination talent!
Tracy Maddy is the league's No. 1 player on the perimeter.
"Me?"
Suhi hadn't quite reacted yet.
"I agree to let Jack do it." James immediately stated that he really didn't want to take responsibility for the final kill, and that he didn't feel good going into the fourth quarter.
It's good that the goal went in, but what if it didn't?
But he didn't want Davis to make a move, what if he did?
So, Suhi is the best choice. entered, he is still his little brother. If you lose, it's none of your business.
"I don't have a problem either, Jack was supposed to be the best newcomer of the year." Davis suddenly said this, which surprised the big guys a little.
I didn't expect him to hate James so much, and he deliberately promoted Jack to suppress LeBron.
Discord!
It must be a discord!
James was trembling with anger at the time, and he kept hinting to himself: don't be fooled, don't be fooled.
"Jack, we've decided, it's up to you to make the last shot." Paul Silas held the tactical board and looked at Sushi expectantly.
Suxi didn't refuse, he said, "Okay." ”
Silas quickly finished laying out his tactics.
Backbite!
The whistle blew.
Carlos Boozer serves from the sidelines.
Suhi and James ran at the same time, Tracy Maddy struggled for half a second, and he still followed the instructions of head coach Rivers to pursue James, because Rivers patted the tactics board and swore that it must be James who carried out the last attack. If it's Jack, then why not just call Jack the Chosen One?
When he heard Maddie think it would be Suhi who would make the move, because he felt that Suhi was the Cavaliers' most killer player. Rivers suppressed Maddy's idea with the authority of the head coach.
Maddie can only run after James.
At the same time, Davis ran over to give Suhi a cross screen, and Suhi ran to the top of the arc.
Carlos Boozer immediately passed the basketball over.
Suhi received the basketball, there was no defense in front of him or behind him, he jumped quickly and threw the basketball with his left hand...... Basketball makes a beautiful arc...... Swish!
Hit.
It was Suhi's 12th point of the night and Suhi's 10th shot of the game.
The basketball hole goes through Orlando's basket.
Only 2.7 seconds left for the Magic.
Suhee wrapped around Maddie, Maddie dodged and didn't get rid of it, Tyronn Lue received the ball, ran two steps, and shot the basketball across the half court...... Bang!
The basketball hit the front of the basket and scared everyone.
The Water House Center Arena also erupted into a wave of shocking screams, but then it came to an abrupt end.
The Cavaliers won.
Suhey hit the first strike of her career.
He finished the game with 12 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.
On top of that, he got Maddie's super-coordination talent.
After the match, Tracy Maddy walked over to shake Suhi's hand, and he praised Suhi: "Good performance. I had the opportunity to come to Orlando to assist me. ”
Suxi smiled and replied, "I don't know who will assist you in the future, Tracy." ”
Maddie laughed, he liked Suhi's confidence.
Subsequently, he was interviewed by the media and praised Su Xi: "Although this kid is not very good at talking, he is uncomfortable to speak. But after this matchup, I found out that he is not an arrogant person. He's innocent, he's persistent, he's determined. He has the most genuine love for basketball, especially on the defensive end, and he is not only very committed, but also very enjoyable. ”
"I like young people like that, and I take back what I have said about him. I was just watching the excitement and I didn't know anything about him. ”
"Oh, yes. He is an honest man. He said Chris Webber had no talent, but he said I was the most talented perimeter player he'd ever seen. You can ask him. ”
Maddie said a long paragraph, which is the foreshadowing of this last sentence.
He also blinked triumphantly.
After all, he's only 24 years old. Of the four quarterbacks, he is the youngest.
Suhi was then asked about this by the same reporter. Suhi was honest, saying, "Yes, Maddie is really the most talented perimeter player I've ever played against, but I don't know who has the better talent between him and LeBron James. ”
"Who is the hardest and most dangerous perimeter player to defend? Bryant? Or Carmelo Anthony? Suhi carried two more acquaintances.
Then, the reporter asked Su Xi how he felt about the lore.
"Okay." Suhi replied honestly: "It's actually no different from training camp shooting, LeBron and Ricky attracted a lot of defense for me, I just hit an open shot." ”
"Didn't you feel a special mood before you made a move? It was a game-defining shot. The reporter asked.
"No, a shot is a shot." Sushi was sincere.
At this time, Larry Bird, who was waiting in front of the TV, was quite touched, and he said: "This is pretending to be like the wind." Jack class me. ”
Tonight, Bird waited in front of the TV as he always watched. He had no interest in James and Davis, and he was preoccupied with Suhi and Maddie's matchup, and he was especially pleased with Suhi's progress in the game.
This strengthened his conviction to recapture Sushi.
He kept calling his good friends, especially those who were commentators, basketball experts, basketball reporters.
He knew he had to get Suhi before the All-Star break.
The longer the time drags on, and Suxi's blade shows its full edge, it will be difficult to get.
