Chapter 80: [It would be nice if you had our physical strength]
Carlisle looked at Suhi and then at the pitch.
Suhi was resolute.
He was helpless.
But in the end... He didn't say anything high-sounding, he patted Suxi on the shoulder: "Protect yourself." β
At this point in the finals, who doesn't want to win?
The only way the Pacers can win is to put Sushi on the court.
When the Pacers fans in front of the TV saw Suhi firmly walking towards the technical station, everyone's hearts were full of emotion.
Having played for a season, there is no one who is unaware of Suhi's fitness problems.
"We can't live without Jack now......"
Larry Bird let out a long sigh in front of the TV, and he could feel Suhey's determination.
He didn't say anything pretentious in front of his boss, he just looked at the TV screen in silence and determination. Because he knows that it's him, it's Jordan... will make such a decision.
They are people of the same kind.
"Can we still win? Larry, can Jack still work miracles? The Pacers boss asked Larry Bird without confidence, and his tone was like a believer kneeling in a church praying for his wish to be granted.
Full of emptiness.
The Lakers are just too strong.
"Basketball is round." Larry Bird said.
Speaking of this, he felt as if he was a little 'weak', and raised his head slightly and straightened his chest: "Trust Jack." β
When Sushi was about to walk to the technical table, Serena Williams reached out and punched Suhee again, saying, "Come on, Jack." β
Suhi nodded.
When the Pacers were serving, Suhey came on and he replaced Reggie Miller.
It was still Kenny Anderson who carried the ball through the half, but when Sushi came on, the pressure on his defense dropped dramatically.
He took Derek Fisher in stride at the top of the arc.
Kobe Bryant wrapped up Suhi, who was still desperate for defense.
He knew that Suhi's first goal on the field would definitely 'get up', and once it got up, it was easy to form a strong resistance. Therefore, he must be contained.
However, Suhey's running is too weird.
It looks even more difficult to track down than Reggie Miller, and most importantly, Reggie Miller will go around it when he encounters an opponent.
And the way Su Xi took was to squeeze away directly, and no one could stop him at all.
When he quickly entered the penalty area, Bryant was a little anxious, and he was ready for Sushi to turn back.
But unexpectedly, Sushi rushed headlong into the penalty area, and he forced Luke Wharton away.
Poor Luke Wharton has no room for manoeuvre at all.
Seeing Suhi squeeze away from Luke Wharton and walk to the left, Kobe Bryant hurriedly increased his pace and rushed to the left.
However, at the same time as Kobe Bryant slammed to the left.
Suhi actually squeezed out again, and Luke Wharton was in and out at will like a public toilet.
Poor Luke lost his footing and was knocked out of the way.
He felt like he had been stepped on twice by a bull.
He raised his hands helplessly, and he tried to ask for an explanation.
But the referee was not used to him.
It's an off-ball move.
And who is to blame for your unstable position as an interior player? Don't think your dad is Bill Wharton, just because you're used to you.
Suhi rushed to the top of the arc, Kenny Anderson quickly passed the basketball player to Sushi, and helped Sushi block Fisher, Suxi calmly shot... Bryant's flying pounce was more than a beat slower.
Basketball makes a beautiful arc...... Swish!
Accurate hits.
The Pacers pulled back three points.
Suhi played an immediate role when she came on the field.
YesοΌοΌ
Larry Bird in front of the TV punches hard, he likes Suxi, Suxi has a temperament that is more difficult and accurate. Bird loved this temperament to death.
Similarly, Williams and Williams did the same on the courtside, and they were thrilled by Suhi's performance. It's a passionate resonance.
As athletes, they can empathize with Suhey's powerful blow.
And by this time, Sushi had already thrown himself into a new battle.
He came to the number 2 position, and he didn't shirk his responsibilities. Despite concerns about his fitness, Artest pointed his finger in the direction of the bottom left corner when he signaled for him to switch guards.
He didn't have the strength to talk to Artest.
Artest understood, and he walked quickly over there.
Bryant saw Sushi defending himself, he didn't hesitate, he asked for the ball directly from Fisher.
And the rest of the Lakers' players, including O'Neal, have consciously pulled away.
In the fourth game of the game, who is the 'king' of the Pacers, the Lakers players know better than anyone else. As long as Suhey's physical strength can be dragged down, everyone thinks that at least half of the victory has been won.
Karl Malone was gearing up on the sidelines, and he kept asking Phil Jackson to play.
"I have to kill Suhee the sheep." He gritted his teeth, he had a bitter hatred for Suhey.
Phil Jackson didn't immediately agree, and he had to wait and see.
Kobe Bryant is going heads-up, Sushi is preoccupied with defense, and all his talent, all his energy and all his experience are focused on him.
He gave Kobe Bryant extremely strong pressure, and his strength made Kobe feel uncomfortable, Kobe Bryant had not gained weight at this time, and Suhi's strength made it difficult for Kobe to fall into position.
But Kobe Bryant has a lot of skills and has a certain advantage in height.
He played a perfect turn in front of Suhi, Kobe Bryant's coordination talent is super, his flexibility is also good, and his waist and abdomen strength are extremely strong.
If it were Suxi before, he would definitely not be able to prevent it. But now, Suhi's coordination talent is also about to touch the super field, and his flexibility talent is the first in the league today.
Coupled with Gary Payton's super defensive talent, he judged Kobe's perfect turn and stuck his position one step ahead.
This prevented Bryant from breaking free from the defense. He paused slightly, and glanced to the left out of the corner of his eye, and the Atai in the bottom corner was like a great enemy.
Kobe Bryant quickly put away his passing thoughts, and he could only jump suddenly, and still forced a jump shot when there was no space.
Suhi's bounce was not good, but his huge palm still almost sealed Kobe's eyes.
Bang!
Kobe Bryant's jumper hits the iron.
O'Neal Jr. beat Luke Wharton to get the rebound.
Luke Wharton's downside is emerging, as his weak and short stature has put him on the back foot after Suhey comes on.
Phil Jackson glanced at Karl Malone: "Next round, you're on the court." β
"What do I need to do?" Carl Malone asked Phil Jackson.
"You just need to be a little more restrained." Phil Jackson had no other advice. He knew that Karl Malone would definitely be tough on Suhi when he came on the court, and it was impossible for Suhi to repeatedly knock into Luke Wharton's defense as casually as before. The tonnage of Karl Malone's body is a steel city gate, and Suxi hits it with his head.
At this time, Sushi is still being tracked by Kobe.
Ko is always around, his defence is very focused, and he is very tenacious.
Su Xi walked out of the snake form with a strange step.
He shuttled around the half, and the Lakers' entire line was mobilized.
When Sushi ran to the bottom corner, Devon George couldn't help but make up for it, and it was just this time, Artest flashed out of the space, and Kenny Anderson passed the basketball over.
When Atai received the basketball, he immediately made a shooting gesture, and Kobe Bryant had to switch defenses.
But when Kobe Bryant slid up, Artest had quickly passed the basketball to O'Neal Jr., who was in the wing position, and O'Neal Jr. quickly made a single gesture.
Kobe Bryant subconsciously turned his head and intended to flank.
At this point, O'Neal Jr. turned around and passed the basketball out... Suhi receives the ball at the top of the arc and hits the last spot.
Devon George had long been thrown off.
Bryant gritted his teeth angrily, and his eyes glared at Devon George like a grim reaper.
And Suhi has already shot the basketball quickly.
Basketball makes a wonderful arc.
Swish!
The second three-pointer, piercing the Nets in an almost unanimous arc.
The huge difference between the two teams quickly narrowed to one point as Sushi came on the court.
The Pacers bench was boiling.
Dawei and Xiaowei also jumped up to cheer for Suxi.
This ball... What is presented is the perfect tacit understanding of the Pacers, who fully trust Suhi and carefully and patiently carry out the basketball pass until it reaches Suhi... Of course, Suhey's running is also very important.
Phil Jackson couldn't help but take a breath: Susie the sheep should be called Susie the little fox.
It's too cunning.
The Desert Fox is nothing more than that.
At both ends of the offensive and defensive ends just now, he made a breakthrough from the bottom corner of the left side, and he perfectly mobilized Atai's natural energy. Although Atai didn't have any data in the two rounds, if there was no Atai, it would be difficult to break the game with both goals.
How did he know that the left side was Kobe's soft underbelly?
Phil Jackson was a little curious.
By this time, Karl Malone had already stepped onto the pitch and he replaced Luke Wharton.
The first thing he did was not to go to his counterpart, O'Neill, Jr., but to leave a provocation in Suhey's ear: "Your good days are over, if you dare to run around, I will definitely break your ribs.... β
Suxi gave him a disdainful look.
Karl Malone then heard the familiar Chinese. "Big fool."
Malone is really curious now, what exactly does this sentence mean?
Are you scolding me? Or the evil Eastern Curse?
Karl Malone was suspicious and angry.
Bryant continued to go on the offensive and he still singled Suhi. In Kobe Bryant's basketball philosophy, if one single doesn't work, then two.
Sushi still tightly wrapped Kobe Bryant and forced Kobe with force. Kobe Bryant made a perfect shoulder shake feint, Sushi was deceived by him by half a step, he jumped up and made a move, Suxi tried to block, but it was not completed.
However, Kobe Bryant's shot still missed the basket slightly and slid out.
Karl Malone actively rushed to grab the rebound, but he was old after all, even if he gave O'Neal Jr. an elbow, O'Neal Jr. still relied on the bounce advantage to pull the basketball out.
The basketball is controlled by Atai and then passed to Suhi.
Suhi received the basketball and did not rush to launch a fast break.
He glanced back, and O'Neill Jr. clutched his ribs and complained to the referee.
The referee was indifferent.
He also had a hard time. If you don't catch the first scene, it's not good to blow the penalty.
Although the whole world knows that Karl Malone is a dirty player, he is after all famous and has a stealthy move.
Suhi dribbled the ball past half court and passed the basketball to Kenny Anderson, who continued to run without the ball. Kobe Bryant quickly pursued, he did not allow such a terrible person to exist, and he must not go on the court to make three consecutive shots and overtake the point difference.
At this time, Su Xi knew that there were tigers in the mountains and were biased towards the tiger mountains.
After Karl Malone came on the court, the Lakers quickly hoarded two of the strongest interior players in the league today.
The tower-like duo stood in the paint zone, and the attackers on the perimeter didn't want to collide muscles just by looking at them.
However, Suxi did not hesitate in the slightest, and he rushed directly to the inside line.
When he rushed, both Karl Malone and Shaq O'Neill were ready: although they were not both equally prepared.
Seeing that Suhi was about to pass through the gap between the two, the tips of Carl Malone's elbows were raised. But just a moment before Suhi was about to shuttle, he suddenly twisted his body and walked away from Shaq O'Neill's side... Suhi walked around.
Bryant hurried after him, but he just chased after him. I noticed that Suhi turned quickly and began to run out close to Karl Malone... It's a sharp turn maneuver.
Watching Su Xi intent on galloping away closely.
Karl Marone moved his right foot between the lightning and flint, and at the same time raised his right hand out of thin air... He wanted to create some 'levels' for Suhee to pass.
But I didn't expect that the moment Su Xi galloped away by his side, his body leaned back sharply and made a violated movement... His movements are very realistic, and they are so fast that it's not clear if his head has been swept by Karl Malone's hand, the point is... He also kicked Karl Malone in the ankle and looked like he had been stumbled.
Backbite!
The referee blew the whistle quickly.
Karl Malone let out a wail and sat down holding his ankles.
Su Xi was not as exaggerated as him, he staggered two steps, rubbed his forehead, and when he looked back, he looked angry.
The referee didn't have any suspense, and he gave Karl Malone a defensive foul.
Carl Malone was already in a lot of pain, and now he was whistled for a foul, and he suddenly became angry.
He jumped up and asked the referee: "Why did I foul?" Wasn't he foul? β
The referee didn't reason with him at all.
He just felt that Carl Malone had acted too much.
No one believes in Karl Malone.
Even Lakers fans feel that Karl Malone was caught this time.
Magic Johnson even said on TV: "Suhee the Sheep has to adapt to this, and he has a lot to learn from these old guys." is obviously making small movements, obviously being caught, but he can quickly switch the identity of the victim, and he also makes a very aggrieved expression. In contrast, Jack is relenting. If he was a veteran player, he would definitely roll on the ground with his head covered and cheat a technical foul first. β
"Jack's experience is still not enough." Charles Buckley also lamented.
"But it's okay if you don't learn this kind of thing. People who play basketball still have to use basketball to speak. The magician continued.
The two of them discussed on TV.
TV viewers also think that Karl Malone is too realistic, but Suxi doesn't know how to use her violation to make a fuss.
"Alright, Carl. Stop acting. β
Shaq O'Neal pulled Karl Malone aside: "The encore is going to be a technical foul." β
"I didn't act." Karl Marlon's eyes widened, his ankle aching.
Syllable!
Shaq O'Neill patted Karl Malone on the head: "You are confused, I am not the referee." β
I....
Carl Marlone is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say what he has to say.
He's been fouled four times and hasn't played half time.
Phil Jackson frowned at this time, and he pondered whether to replace Karl Malone.
But when he saw Su Xi running out of bounds to serve, he made up his mind to let Malone continue.
Anyway, Karl Malone is a consumable, as long as he can exhaust Suxi's physical energy, he will earn anything.
"Don't rush too much, converge, Carl." Phil Jackson shouted from the sidelines.
Karl Malone: ?
He roared in his heart: I'm restrained enough, I'm not acting.
At this moment, Suhi sent the basketball directly into the penalty area, and as soon as Karl Malone reacted, he saw O'Neill Jr. galloping from his side to the penalty area and jumping high. He hurried in pursuit, but was a beat slower ... People are old before they are old. Also, his ankle is really sore now.
Suhee's kick hit my ankle?
Rumble!
O'Neill Jr. completes the menacing two-handed buckle.
The Pacers took the lead on their third offense after Sushi came on the court.
After Suhi came on the court, the Pacers played an 8-0 mini-climax.
No matter how much basketball commentators discuss, they can't erase the brutal fact that the Lakers can't do anything about Suhi.
"If Jack can play the whole game, do we still have to worry about the championship?" Larry Bird couldn't help but sigh. Although the Lakers have a super F4 this year, in Bird's opinion, the Lakers are far less powerful this year than they were during the three-game championship period. Even he felt that the Lakers were not as good as the Lakers who lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
"I wish Jack's secret weapon was his physical fitness. In fact, he has been hiding his strength in order to give the Lakers a fatal blow in the Finals. β
At this time, Charles Barkley on TV sighed on TV.
But Kenny Smith couldn't help but ask a question: "Excuse me, how do you hide your physical fitness?" β
"It's okay to pretend to be weak. Don't you come home every night pretending to be tired and don't want to deal with your wife?" Barkley complained.
Barkley has his own theory: "I really don't think Jack is that weak. Otherwise, how can you explain that he can make two Hollywood female stars fight and let them enjoy unimaginable happiness? And, don't you think that every time Jack takes a break for a while, he can be alive? Have you ever seen someone who is so resilient? I haven't seen it. β
Barkley asked Magic Johnson: "We've all played basketball, and we know that after a physical decline, it's impossible to resume high-intensity confrontation in a short period of time." β
Magic Johnson nodded.
Then, confused and surprised, he said, "Is Jack really hiding?" β
At this time, Suxi on the court obviously showed a decline in physical fitness.
After he helped the Pacers overcome, he seemed relieved.
Kobe Bryant burst through his defense on the wing and hit a pull-up jump shot in the middle of a high-speed drive.
Suhi was still running, but it was clear that he was getting slower.
But as long as he's running, Kobe Bryant has to follow him.
This gives the Pacers other players a defensive gap.
Artest hit a jumper.
O'Neal Jr. also began to name Karl Malone, who had to relent, after four fouls on his back. And his ankle really hurts.
O'Neill Jr. is a bit of a give-and-take.
The second section turned into a civil war of the 96 golden generation.
The two sides come and go.
Suhi's pace is getting slower and slower.
His breathing grew heavier and heavier.
But he's staying on the court, and he's going to have to hold Kobe Bryant and also Karl Malone.
At this time, both Pacers players and Lakers fans know very well that Sushi can't come back in the second half.
He was on the verge of overdraft.
Kobe Bryant is squeezing Suhi's physical fitness on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants Sushi to rest: Damn, you are still so young, just a doomed Finals, what are you fighting for.
Kobe Bryant thought so.
Pacers fans in front of the TV were even more moved.
Larry Bird even turned his back, feeling sorry. He thinks he's not doing enough.
He told his boss: "If I don't win the championship this year, I'm all responsible. I failed Jack, I failed the Pacers. I should have found two more substitutes. β
The boss sighed, and he sighed: How many people can continue Jack's important role in the game.
Players who can continue Jack's role won't come to the team to play as a substitute.
