Chapter 178

Raheem's rhetoric suddenly increased the attention of the Eagles.

The headache is the coaching staff, and the management is happy.

How long!

Except for the fact that the Eagles can occasionally enter the homepage of the news page by relying on Liu Mang, it has been a long time since the Eagles are the headlines of TV stations and newspapers everywhere.

However, when it comes to the game, it depends on strength. If Raheem can resist, then the "opportunity" Liu Mang helped create is that Raheem has never been well-known, and his statistics have always been excellent, but his popularity and fans' evaluation have always been mediocre. A player who can become a real first-line top star whose fame and status can match his strength and statistics!

Liu Mang just inadvertently created an opportunity for Raheem, not that he did these things, and Raheem became a superstar, it was just that Raheem had this opportunity.

Just like in the Balanced Mode, it is mentioned that giving a contemporary who has no chance to show their talents or cannot fully display their talents due to injuries is to give a chance, not to say that they will be able to stand up. If you can't stand up, you have to rely on yourself.

At 7:00 pm on January 9, 2002, the Eagles started the first game of their three-game streak.

The lineup sent by the Pacers is Jamal Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, Jeff Foster.

The lineup of the Pacers actually has an extra Artest, but it seems that there has been a drastic change!

Jamal Tinsley, the little prince of streetball, is a 24-year-old rookie. He didn't have much chance to perform at the beginning of the season, but now that the Pacers have begun to build a defensive system, he is good at steals, excellent in speed, and excellent in one-on-one defense. Stabilized the main force, averaged 6 points and 8 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game in the past two weeks, and the side effects are accompanied by 4.1 fouls and 3.7 turnovers, a double-edged sword.

However, recently Jamal Tinsley has also entered the top ten rookie rankings this season. It is estimated that there is hope for the best rookie second team in this way.

Reggie Miller is still excellent in three-pointers, O'Neal's mid-range shooting and defensive area are really strong, and Foster...is mainly responsible for handsome.

The Eagles still have Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff playing.

jump ball!

The Eagles have Ratliff jumping the ball, but the Pacers are not the center jumping the ball, but O'Neal!

As the game-opening whistle blew, the referee tossed the ball into the air, and O'Neal bounced the ball over to Jamal Tinsley.

They are all named O'Neill, but Jr. O'Neill is not the kind of bloated giant fat man, not even the floor runner in his later years, but a brisk thin man who can jump and jump!

After Tinsley pushed over, it wasn't O'Neal who fell into the low post, but Artest! Jermaine O'Neal responded in the middle distance on the right, and Reggie Miller was constantly running.

Tinsley passed the ball to Artest, and Artest resisted Raheem!

What kind of play is this? Coach Kruger looked at the smiling assassin on the Pacers' bench, this is... looking for death?

Artest is strong and powerful, but Raheem can really play power forward. Well, Raheem is a lot bigger just by his size.

Raheem confronted the seemingly violent flat-headed brother in front of him without fear.

Just when Raheem thought that Artest was a barbarian who only knew how to play with his body, Artest took advantage of Raheem's full strength and suddenly turned around deftly and wiped into the inside!

Beasts also have meticulous work!

The Hawks inside Muhammad helped defend back, and Artest gave O'Neal a point, and O'Neal scored two points with a mid-range jumper.

Is this the one in the legend with a tiger in his heart who sniffs roses?

Looks like a boor but has such a trick!

Looking at Artest, Liu Mang knew that this guy could not be a pure fool. How smart he is to play for the Rockets and Lakers in the future. That kind of smartness cannot be a sudden enlightenment. It must have been there from the beginning, but it was just the early Tester still has a violent side, not the one who started to recognize himself after being suspended for 70 or 80 games, but he must have always been smart, otherwise he would not have been regarded as a One of the MVP favorites.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Eagles attack.

Raheem sat in a low position against Artest and wanted to fight back!

Raheem is the striker beast of the 96 golden generation, and Artest is the most famous beast-level player in the first decade of the 21st century. The two beasts who entered the league 3 years apart started a one-on-one confrontation!

It is full of muscle collisions, which is different from Kobe’s contempt when he faced Artest, who was the main player for the first time. Now Artest has become famous after preventing Kobe from scolding, and Raheem attaches great importance to it. , go all out.

Tough and tough duels!

Rahim resisted Artest, beat Artest with a more mature body, squeezed to the edge of the three-second zone and scored two points with a half-turned throw.

This is what Raheem is good at, his own body!

Raheem's small forward position is similar to Garnett and Duncan's size advantage at the power forward position. Garnett and Duncan should play center forwards based on their height, and most of the time they are also doing center work on the court , but they faced power forwards most of the time.

Raheem's height, wingspan, and strength not inferior to Artest, the advantages are too obvious!

It's time for the Pacers to attack again, and Artest turned his back to ask for the ball in the middle distance. Raheem thought about it and withdrew to the edge of the three-second zone. Do you like to shoot or not!

Learning is bad!

Rahim, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also learned Liu Mang's defensive strategy.

These days it's about confrontation, even if the opponent really can't shoot, they usually won't let go of the shot.

And Liu Mang is an outlier, which is why Francis gets angry when he meets Liu Mang. He has never encountered such a single defense and let him shoot.

Raheem remembered the scouting report. This Artest was a player who scored ten points per game by relying on his arm muscles. His shooting percentage was just 40%, and his jump shot was extremely poor. Free throws are only in the 60s.

In such a situation, is it still exhausting your stamina to fight against the deadly carry?

Now that Raheem is concentrating on basketball, he has maintained his original toughness, and his playing has become smarter. He no longer relies on his physical talent to play like before. Of course, he can rely on his physical talent alone. Being able to make the All-Star, now he has learned to use his own eyes to see the situation on the court, and use his brain to judge how to deal with the opponent!

Artest didn't expect at all, the opponent was not defensive, how could he complete the task of the coach's order to start the game and create opportunities for the outside line?

Artest is so embarrassing, this guy doesn't play according to the routine!
