Chapter 6: Isaiah Thomas's Super Talent
Kassel claimed that Suhi was defended by him purely to put gold on his face.
Sushi was guarded by Garnett.
Garnett has been horrible this year, and he's fully at the peak of his career. So far, he is averaging 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game this season.
How so? He ranks fourth in scoring, first in rebounding, tenth in blocks, is also in the top 30 in steals, and is first among interior players in assists.
This proves his omnipotence.
Whether it is talent or technology, it has reached the top level in history. Especially on the defensive end, it can be described as obscuring.
That's why so many rookies can get high picks just by looking like Garnett.
Suhee has seen a lot of Garnett second, Miles, Bender, but none of them have been able to touch Garnett even a little bit.
Suhi was very uncomfortable in that game by Garnett's stalking defense.
With Suhi's current assault ability, not to mention that Kassel puts one step to defend, or two steps to defend, he can crash into the basket.
But Garnett is like an octopus, with his excellent movement, amazing anticipation, terrifying long hands and feet, and accurate timing to make Sushi's offensive firepower plummet.
Of course, another reason why Suhi didn't perform well in this game was that Reggie Miller and Ron Artest were both iron, and as soon as they were iron, the Timberwolves shrank unscrupulously.
It's a matter of strategy.
It's not Suhi's personal problem.
In fact, after that game, Kevin Garnett also praised Suhi. He said Suhi was him on the back line.
This assessment was rated by Rick Carlisle as the most accurate assessment of Jack to date.
Carlisle and Susie are very close, and he often talks to Susie at night. He said to Suhi that night: "You are averaging 13.6 points per game this season, which is not low, but it is difficult to hit 30 or even 40 points with your current means." It's the same as Kevin Garnett, you're all perfect teammates. ”
"But not the aces. The ace core needs to attack with the ball, create passes, or both, and these KGs are lacking, and neither are they. KG is the third best super inside player of this era, I can say that his off-ball space, pass creation, co-defense, tandem... These are better than Shaq and Duncan. However, on the offensive end, he can't go deep and create a pinch shot in the low post. On the defensive end, he can't control the entire restricted area like Duncan alone, let alone stuff the basket with his power like the Sharks. ”
"So. Some discerning critics will complain that KG is weak in key moments and doesn't have the ability to take over the game like a superstar. ”
'But when he's on the pitch, the team is running smoothly and the team is very sticky defensively.
"You're in that trend right now, too."
"But I don't want you to go on like this."
"Your breakthrough hasn't been the biggest threat yet. With your speed, power, explosiveness... You kill more completely. ”
"I want you to be selfish, I even want you to score in the two most difficult areas of the pitch."
"Don't listen to the of the basketball experts, don't go for the so-called efficiency, they don't understand basketball at all. If a player can score points in the two most difficult corners on the pitch, the whole team will benefit, no matter what tactics they play. Whether it's a triangle offense, or a Princeton offense, or a pick-and-roll strategy..."
Rick Carlisle firmly gave Suhi confidence when she was questioned.
This is very important to Suhi, and he has given Suxi firm courage and endless confidence.
Suhi was very moved.
"By the way, I talk to you like this every day, it won't affect you to find a girlfriend, right?" Carlisle couldn't help but say at the end. "Indiana people are more conservative, but if you're going to hang out, you can. Reggie has a lot of secret places.... ”
Suhi smiled, sometimes he felt that Carlisle might be Jim Carrey pretending, deliberately trying to trick himself. Otherwise, how can there be a normal head coach who encourages himself to go out and fool around.
"I'm not of legal drinking age in Indiana, and there are a lot of places I can't go. The whole of Indiana knew I was only 19 years old. Su Xi spread his hands helplessly.
Do you think Suhi listens to Atay Afu Bati Miller every day about the adult skills they talk about, and he doesn't have an itch in his heart?
He can't help it.
Moreover, now he has a lot of endorsements on him, and his image is very important.
It's okay to fall in love normally, but if you go to some gold club to play, you are photographed and exposed, and the commercial value will fall down.
…
"I'm not very interested in All-Star starters. But I don't think Jack can beat me in the votes, and I have a lot of fans in China. ”
Allen Iverson showed his strong self-confidence to the media ahead of this matchup.
The 76ers have been away from Larry Brown for a year, and Iverson's personal peak has been stuck in 2001.
Suhi single-handedly defended Iverson tonight, and he struggled a bit.
Iverson's speed, explosiveness, agility, coordination, and bounce are all superb, and he's already figured out a style of play that fits perfectly into his offense.
Suhi is still a bit out of his grip on the speedy guard, but he's tight and he's trying to keep up with Iverson's talent.
Allen Iverson gave Sushi a long-awaited boost, Suhey's super speed talent increased to 98, and the super coordination talent increased even more, to 93... It's about to enter the super field.
The improved coordination talent has allowed Sushi to control her body better, especially the layups after losing her balance in the confrontation, and her accuracy has soared.
Suhi was also shooting wildly in this game, and he and Iverson slammed into each other's boxes.
With Carlisle's encouragement and the support of his teammates, Suhi frequently made his way into the paint. The Seven-Six don't have Kevin Garnett.
Suhi's strengths are on display.
Suhi played 25 minutes and made 11 of 19 shots, scoring a career-high 27 points. Extremely efficient.
"That's right, that's how it should be. Jack. I feel like if you get a little bit more fit, you have a good chance of hitting 40 points. Carlisle encouraged Suhi: "We need a strong player who can go straight into the box from the top of the arc and tear up the defence. ”
Suhi nodded.
He's already very talented at the moment, and he has a lot of mismatch advantages.
He now feels like his technical skills can't keep up with his physical talent.
The win over the 76ers was a watershed moment.
Suhi scored 21 points, 22 points, 19 points, 18 points, 20 points, 25 points and 19 points in the next seven games in December.
That's all based on averaging 25.5 points per game. That's pretty impressive scoring efficiency, considering that this season, Maddy, the highest scorer, has only 28 points, and the second-highest Iverson has 26 points. It's not the kind of no-contact play that came more than a decade later, it's all Sushi's score with his body.
Suhi's physical fitness is limited, and he focuses most of his energy on offense, so steals, assists, and rebounds have declined.
However, the Pacers are on an eight-game winning streak.
The Pacers are too strong.
As Carlisle said, they were able to accommodate an inefficient scorer, not to mention that Suhi's move into the box would be a huge help to the overall strategy.
"We can finally understand why Cleveland traded Sushie the Sheep, and is there any difference between Sushy the Sheep and LeBron James? I felt like they were playing the same kind of basketball. It's just that LeBron is taller and has a better passing standard. And Suhi the Sheep has better ball control. ”
Before the arrival of New Year's Day, the New York media said sourly that their current mood is that they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
Suhi was selected by the Knicks with the No. 8 pick in the draft, but now Sushy's accomplishments have nothing to do with them.
The New York media exposed James Dolan for a long time ago that he was furious about the draft night trade, and then the Knicks were also crazy about the trade when the Cavaliers made a trade, but in the end they failed to get their wish.
Now watching Sushi stand up with LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in the new generation, they are very uncomfortable. Especially after Darius Miles was exposed to playing a game of pouring red wine with two female models in a nightclub last week, they hated the two bastards who made the deal in the first place, and repeatedly pulled them out to whip their corpses.
So much so that Isaiah Thomas was looked at by them.
Isaiah Thomas was on the sidelines of the game between the Pacers and the Nets.
The Pacers lost to the Nets in this game and did not reach a nine-game winning streak.
Jason Kidd did a good job of restricting Suhi in this game, and he kept driving Suhi to Kenyon Martin, who was a great interior supporter and made Suhi's offense struggle.
And, Jefferson had a great night as he hit back-to-back 3-pointers.
In addition, Suhi's fitness problems also became the reason for the defeat. Suhi hit the critical moment, he ran out of physical strength, and was carried by Jason Kidd with his back twice.
In the end, the Nets won the victory.
Suhi made 7 of 21 shots and scored 17 points, which was very inefficient.
Although it is normal for NBA players to have ups and downs in the game, and his teammates have not expressed any dissatisfaction with him, he himself is very unhappy.
After the game, Suhee took a leave of absence, he took a leave of absence to attend a commercial shoot, and he made an appointment with Jessica Alba.
When he goes to the parking lot to look for the car that Mike O'Connor has prepared, he bumps into Isaiah Thomas.
The Smiling Assassin has been yelling at him from the sidelines tonight, reminding him what to do with basketball, and he's acting more like a coach than Carlisle.
Jason Kidd also smiled at the assassin in the fourth quarter: "Even if you play in person, you can't stop me." ”
This sentence made Su Xi very angry.
Isaiah Thomas dismissed Jason Kidd with a salty but non-salty sentence on the sidelines: "When you win the championship and win the Finals MVP, come and talk trash to me." ”
Now, meeting Isaiah Thomas here, Suhi smiled and nodded to him. He added: "Thank you for your guidance on the pitch, but I didn't learn the essence. ”
"No, you're good. You're better than 19 years old me. ”
Isaiah Thomas held out his hand, and he greeted Sushi with a black handshake and a slap on his chest.
At this moment, the elf who had been sleeping in Su Xi's head for a long time woke up, and it prompted: "Capture the acquired super talent, super low center of gravity rhythm talent." ”
Su Xi was startled, and subconsciously stared at the smiling assassin with wide eyes.
Isaiah Thomas smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, I didn't mean to say the opposite. The media ruined my image and they all thought I was a negative character. But actually, I'm a sincere person. ”
"Looks like you're anxious? Where do you want? Isaiah Thomas asked.
Suhi subconsciously replied to the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.
"Just by the way, I'll send you?" Isaiah Thomas said to Suhi.
"Okay." Su Xi nodded, and he agreed with a ghost: "Thank you." ”
Once in the car, he called Mike O'Connor and said that he was already in the bus to New York, so he didn't have to arrange for a driver to pick him up.
Isaiah Thomas chatted with Suhi for a while about Indiana, after all, he had worked there before, and he was familiar with the Pacers. The current team of the Pacers can be said to have been single-handedly saved.
He didn't have the slightest good impression of Larry Bird.
"That guy is just pretending he's an Indiana, like LeBron pretending he's a Cleveland. Cleveland trade you, Indiana banishes me. They picked my peaches and claimed that I didn't grow them, which is ridiculous. ”
Thomas said this like a child who has been robbed of a toy.
Particularly angry.
Suhi didn't know how to comfort him, he just said, "Do you historical superstars also quarrel like kids?" ”
"Hahahaha." Thomas laughed heartily and said, "Of course, sometimes we are more noisy and more childish. At every turn, he pulls others not to play with someone. ”
"You're that someone, aren't you?" Suhi teased.
"Nope. Before Jordan became the so-called god of basketball, I pulled a bunch of people not to play with him, and I didn't pass him the ball in the All-Star Game. "Isaiah Thomas is very energetic, and these old stories are also part of the NBA and why fans continue to pay attention.
Suhi laughed. Then he said seriously: "I think you're quite fierce, you're the only one who has killed Jordan, Magic, and Bird." By the way, you claim to be 185, do you really have 1.8 meters? ”
"That must have been." Thomas is adamant: "I once measured 180.5 barefoot in the morning. ”
Su Xi smiled at first, then in awe.
achieved so much with such a short stature, but in the end he was covered by the 'Bad Boy Army', and became the background villain of the basketball god.
It's a little embarrassing.
"Carlisle has been asking me to watch your tapes lately, and he wants me to learn from you a more concise and lethal assault." Sushi said.
"He's still very knowledgeable." Isaiah Thomas commented: "He's a good coach. You can learn a lot by following him. ”
"However, it's kind of ridiculous to watch a video to learn technology. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. You're lacking that right now, your speed, power, explosiveness are very good, but your skill is average, which is why Jason Kidd can drive you into a trap. Isaiah Thomas said seriously: "My secret is actually very simple, keep your center of gravity low... In a flash! Shout! ”
Isaiah Thomas paints the colors.
Suhi was very shocked and surprised next to him, and he said to Thomas: "Are you really willing to teach me, your strongest super low center of gravity rhythm?" ”
