Chapter 18: [Thank you Marbury for the thoughtful gift package]
If Marbury had been Caucasian or yellow-skinned, his face would have been hard to see. But he was black.
Jackson didn't feel that he was saying anything wrong, and he even hoped that Marbury would humbly accept his suggestion because it was for his good.
He was indeed for Marbury's good, and what he said was true.
But the truth hurts the most.
Backbite!
The whistle blew and Marbury returned to the field.
Madison Garden Arena erupted in loud cheers, followed by boos and curses.
Sushi came to the front with the ball, and Madison Garden began to be murderous again.
The sound of shouting and killing is endless.
New York fans really want Marbury to 'die'.
Marbury's mentality is now bordering on madness, and he's going to prove himself. He took the initiative to defend Sushi, but... There are some things that you don't have to do on your own initiative.
Suhi didn't even make a feint, he rushed towards Marbury, and when he was about to collide, he quickly twisted his body and grazed Marbury and galloped away, Marbury tried to block, but the difference in strength was large.
Sushi is like a tank crossing the border, not a single grass grows.
Suhee punctured the defense, and Jackson had to help defend it, a former tacit teammate, and now an opponent.
Suhee took Jackson's defense and went deeper.
When he entered the paint area, Suhee jumped, his jump height was much, much higher than before, and Stephen Jackson could no longer interfere with him.
Suhee looked back at the moon in the air and passed the basketball to the top of the arc, where Jalen Rose received the basketball and he jumped out of his hand...... Swish!
Three-point hit.
Suhi and the Knicks players began to establish a tacit understanding, and although it was a chaotic style of play, the level of understanding of each other was improving.
Suhi knew that Jalen Rose would go there, and she also knew that he had a relatively high percentage of open shots there.
So, he went deep alone and involved Jackson's defense as much as possible.
Marbury, meanwhile, didn't do a good job of making up for it.
Similarly, Artest is taken to the corner by Quentin Richardson.
Although the Knicks did not have a fixed tactic, they gradually formed a tacit understanding.
This tacit understanding is even more solid than fixed tactics.
To the cheers of the audience, Marbury attacked. He dribbled through the half, he didn't change his offensive pattern, and although he and Stephen Jackson did a high pick-and-roll, he didn't pass the ball after the assault, but made a pull-up jumper... But he underestimated Suxi's ability to break and dismantle.
Suhi is blessed with physical gifts and defensive experience, and he is one of the best backcourt players in NBA history at pick-and-roll.
Marbury's jump shot was too much for stability, and by the time he jumped to the top of the shot, Suhee had already pounced fiercely from behind.
At this time, Suxi's bounce has reached the excellent level, coupled with his amazing long arms and terrifying explosiveness.
Syllable!
Before Marbury's basketball could completely detach from the palm of his hand, he was slapped away from behind by Suhi.
It's a sturdy hat that's neat and clean.
Before Marbury could react, Suhee had already landed, quickly controlled the basketball, and ran wildly to the frontcourt.
Stephen Jackson pulled Sushi at the free throw line for a foul, but Sushi ran wildly, how could he pull it?
Under the dual effect of strong explosiveness and strength, he competed for defense and completed layups.
2+1。
Suhi walks to the free throw line.
The score difference is back.
Swish!
Penalty hit.
The audience roared with joy.
Carlisle watched the Knicks' strong resurgence, and his heart was on the verge of going to the hospital for resuscitation.
Who would have thought Marbury would be so useless? Didn't you play well in the previous games?
How did you meet Suhi and it completely changed?
At this time, the CCTV commentator on the other side of the ocean said a classic sentence: "Marbury met Suxi, that is, Li Ghost touched Li Kui, and the five-body body who must not be beaten to the ground?" The two of them can't be compared at all, they are not stars of the same grade. ”
In the TNT commentary seat, Kenny Smith also said quite depressedly: "Stephen Marbury is really a son of New York, and he sends warmth to the Knicks as soon as he plays." Can't he be like Fraser Jones, who passed the ball to his teammates through the half? The Pacers' strong lineup, as long as it works, the Knicks are no match at all. ”
After so many years, Kenny Smith still insisted on standing on the opposite side of Suhi. He just tried to slap Su Xi in the face no longer so obviously and arrogantly, he was more subtle now, and a little yin and yang.
Charles Barkley said: "This is a good example of one thing, Suhey's role for the Pacers is irreplaceable. Stephen Marbury may have to be traded for this, and he can't afford Suhey's role. Even if he usually plays well, what if he runs into the Knicks in the playoffs? ”
Barkley's words were quite heartfelt.
The Pacers' executives listened to this, and their minds were somewhat active.
Larry Bird, in particular, was wondering: What if the Knicks were actually in the playoffs? With Marbury's state of mind, can't he be caught and exported?
The game continues.
Marbury's mental state was not good.
He still leans towards individual singles, and he is now at a dead end.
He wanted to prove himself, but he only believed in himself in his bones.
But the current situation for the Pacers is that as long as Marbury believes in the team and works hard together, he will definitely beat the Knicks.
In the last few rounds of the first half, the Pacers simply split into two pieces. One is Marbury's own singles, and the other is teamwork on the Pacers' side, especially on the defensive end.
This split has given the Pacers a boost in their fighting power, but Suhee knows the Pacers too well and is always able to see the stitches to help his teammates penetrate the defense.
The most important thing is that in the process, the tacit understanding between him and his teammates is improving.
Suhi is grateful to the Pacers and even more grateful to Marbury.
Without such a 'subtle' cooperation from them, it would have been really difficult for Suxi to touch this string.
The first half was played quickly.
Su Xi couldn't get enough of it, and so did his teammates.
Because everyone has captured the tacit understanding of the mystery and the mystery.
Self-confidence is growing rapidly.
The most important reason why a team is a bad team is that it can't see hope, and if you can't see hope, it's easy to become unconfident, and if you don't have self-confidence, you won't have muscles, and if you don't have muscles, you'll be self-exiled and willing to fall. Then a bad cycle is formed.
It is very difficult to break this cycle, and many teams want to do it in a blood-swapping way, constantly mixing sand with drafts, but it is very difficult and there are few successes.
It's like the Portland Trail Blazers and the Chicago Bulls, they haven't been successful until now, because there's a good chance that their rookies will join the swing sequence.
Unless a hunk falls from the sky.
Susie is the Knicks' macho man from the sky.
Although the Knicks won consecutive games in the past, in this game, there were really some qualitative changes.
Thank you Marbury for the big package.
