Chapter 216 215. Don't Cry, Just Smile ([-] words)
Just after returning to the court, Su Jiu announced his return to the Cavaliers with such an unreasonable ultra-long three-pointer.
Under the roaring cheers of the audience, the big screen at the scene also showed Su Jiu, who was smiling, and Mike Brown, who looked slightly dull off the field.
And the expressions of these two people at the moment also formed a sharp contrast, which made all the Magic fans on the scene cheer wildly.
It seems to have forgotten that the Magic is the one behind on the court at this moment.
In the following time, the return of Su Jiu and Howard also allowed the Magic to find a backbone.
The offensive end is no longer as weak as in the first half, and it seems to be quite orderly.
Although Howard has been targeted by the Cavaliers in this game, and his personal performance on the offensive end can also be called a downturn, but as long as Howard is on the court, the Cavaliers dare not easily show their flaws on the defensive end.
So even if Howard's condition is not good, for Su Jiu, he still took away a lot of offensive pressure for himself.
Simply put, regardless of Howard's state, as long as he is on the court, he can complete the containment on the offensive end and make more room for others to attack.
However, the absence of Lewis has dealt a big blow to the Magic after all, so even though Su Jiu was in a hot state in this game, at the end of the halftime, the Magic still had:
49:52
Three points behind the Cavaliers, ending the contest between the two sides in the first half.
"Oops! Look at what you guys played in the first half. The opponent's Rashad didn't play in this game. As a result, we only led the Magic by three points at the end of the half?!"
"This season is the year we are most likely to enter the finals, but I have not seen the rhythm that can crush the Magic in this game."
"LeBron, I hope you can strengthen your personal offense when you go back in the second half. Facing the opponent's rookie, you really let me down in the first half."
In the Cavaliers locker room at halftime, Mike Brown shouted angrily at the players below.
This season can be said to be the most promising year for the Cavaliers to enter the finals, and in the East, the only two teams that can really threaten the Cavaliers are the Magic and the Celtics.
But even in the absence of Lewis due to injury, the Cavaliers still failed to play a crushing trend. Instead, they fought evenly with the Magic at the end of halftime, with only a very weak lead.
This also made Mike Brown feel very dissatisfied.
After all, since coaching the Cavaliers, Mike Brown's coaching ability has been questioned by people.
Even last season, he was on the verge of dismissal, so whether this season is the Cavaliers' last chance or not, for Mike Brown, this is already his last chance.
Otherwise, whether it is the fans or the management, Mike Brown will fall into a very bad situation.
As the saying goes, a dead friend does not die a poor man. If Mike Brown can't even keep his handsome position, then what's the point of cultivating potential rookies for the Cavaliers? !
So this is also the main reason why LeBron James' average playing time has exceeded 40 minutes per game this season, breaking his career high.
"Although the defensive ability of the rookie on the opposite side is good, the team has played the level we should have played in the first half."
"So I think in the second half you should think about what kind of changes you want to make on the defensive end."
Hearing Mike Brown's question, LeBron James also replied frowning while wiping his sweat.
Throughout the first half, the Cavaliers have actually played at their regular level this season on the offensive end. After all, the Cavaliers have only averaged 102.3 points per game so far this season.
The reason why they faced this situation after halftime was entirely because of Su Jiu's personal explosion in the first half.
毕竟苏久在整个上半场里就12投7中,三分线外7中4,罚球5中4,个人砍下了22分5篮板以及7次助攻的数据。
You must know that the entire Magic team only scored 49 points in the first half, and Su Jiu scored nearly half of the points alone.
Mike Brown also understands these words of LeBron James very well.
But throughout the first half, no matter whether it was defending Su Jiu closely, double-teaming, or letting him shoot from a farther position, the final feedback effect did not meet Mike Brown's expectations.
So Mike Brown has no reservations about Su Jiu, and has been making different targets.
Although what LeBron James said was indeed true, Mike Brown still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing it.
"I will naturally solve Su's point in the second half, but I also hope that you can strengthen your personal offense after you go back in the second half."
"Although we are playing away in this game, don't forget that the media were unanimously optimistic about us before the game started."
"So once we are defeated by the Magic in this game, we can't help but think about how the news media will report us after the game."
Hearing Mike Brown's words, James kept frowning as if he wanted to say something, but after looking at his teammates, he finally sat there and remained silent.
After returning from the second half, the state of the two teams seemed to have undergone a swap. If we say that before the start of the game, the Cavaliers have always maintained a very relaxed state happily.
So at this moment, after the Magic came back in the second half, they became a little more relaxed. On the other hand, the Cavaliers fell into a strange silence.
It seems that there is a huge pressure buried in every player's heart, even though the magic is currently behind, and the Cavaliers are leading...
Since the jump ball in the first quarter was taken by the Magic first, the Cavaliers took the lead in attacking after returning from the third quarter.
After holding the ball for halftime, facing Courtney Lee who was defending him, James seemed to have made up his mind.
If James in the first half was attacking personally, he also tried to mobilize the offense of his teammates.
Then after returning in the second half, James' thinking became very simple. Since his teammates are so unreliable, it is better to rely on himself to complete the kill.
After all, compared to Kobe, the biggest reason why James has been questioned is that he chooses to trust his teammates too much, but he is not firm enough in his own shots.
This also caused many people to label James as unable to fight tough battles, and this has always been a major slot in James' personal career.
Even in terms of statistics, James' scoring ability at critical moments is not weak at all, but excessive control of the overall situation also turns this original advantage into a disadvantage at certain times.
After returning from the second half, James also gestured for his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to take the lead in singleting Courtney Lee to complete an offense.
Seeing the gesture made by James, everyone in the Cavaliers also pulled away so that James could get more space when he broke through.
At this moment, Courtney Lee, who was in charge of defending James, felt the huge pressure. His center of gravity was lowered, his expression was focused, and he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness.
As if in the blink of an eye, James would be rolling past him like a bulldozer.
After everyone opened up, James also took two steps back, intending to open up more distance to break through Courtney Lee's personal defense against him.
At the same time as he took two steps back, James also accelerated suddenly, and the muscles on his thighs tensed up instantly, as if a truck was rolling towards the inside line with all its strength.
Courtney Lee, who knows that he is completely incomparable with James in terms of physical confrontation, also stands very late.
When freeing up more room for James to shoot, he also tried his best to ensure that he would not be easily knocked away by James to complete a breakthrough.
However, he was obviously mentally prepared, but at the moment of the impact, Xiao Li's blood was still surging upwards, and a force from his chest caused Courtney Lee to lose his balance again.
When his body backed away subconsciously, Xiao Lizi only had one thought in his mind when he looked at James who had already broken a path:
"Oops!"
However, just as James broke through Courtney Lee's defense and was about to continue to break through to the inside, a big hand suddenly stretched out from James' right side.
Before James can react, these hands are also accurately patted on the basketball, and this cut is not only very accurate, but also very powerful.
So when James reacted, the ball had already been successfully cut off by Su Jiu, who shot out from the flank, and fell behind him.
After cutting the ball, Su Jiu also showed joy on the surface, and then he buried his head and sprinted forward.
Seeing that his ball was cut off, and Su Jiu held the ball and began to counterattack, James already knew that he could not catch up with the opponent.
So the whole person complained to the referee on the sideline for the first time. The whole person opened his hands and frowned all the time, as if very anxiously shouting at the referee:
"Foul, foul! He cut this ball into my hand, this ball is a foul!!"
Facing James' complaint, the referee on the sideline also hesitated slightly.
After all, that shot just now was too fast, and the referee was far away from that position, so he really didn't see it clearly.
But no matter how hesitant, the referee still chose to ignore James' complaint this time.
Because at this time, Su Jiu had already rushed into the opponent's basket alone, and his body mustered all his strength in the air to complete a one-handed bow dunk! !
"Roar!!"
After landing, Su Jiu seemed to be very excited, tearing his jersey with his right hand, and shouting loudly at the audience! !
And because he was too excited, the veins on Su Jiu's neck were even more bulging, making him look like a beast on land! !
After yelling, Su Jiu returned to the defense with a fierce face. On the way back to the defense, he saw LeBron James who was still complaining to the referee, and subconsciously stared at him closely, without any fear in his eyes.
Seeing Su Jiu, who was passing by him and staring at him with a fierce face, James also rolled his eyes at him, and then turned around directly to attack.
In fact, the reason why Su Jiu was so excited during this attack was not because he stole James and completed a fast break dunk.
It's because when I completed the task assigned to me by the system last time to find the answer, the last permanent reward I got was already more and more proficient.
Permanently increase the accuracy of steal prediction by 8%! !
When stealing James just now, Su Jiu felt as if he had predicted James' ball in advance, so he reached out subconsciously.
The result was an unmistakable cut on the ball.
Regarding the ball just now, Su Jiu knew very well in his heart that he never touched James' palm, not even a hair on his face.
So the ball just now can be said to be a clean and precise steal! !
Fight back, take out!I buried my head down and couldn't see, yo, move, move, and do it with your hands...
As Su Jiu cut off James' attack, and also used the defensive counterattack to successfully convert it into a score, it also instantly caused the home fans to boil.
Especially Stan Van Gundy off the court, his face was flushed at the moment, and he was very excited about Su Jiu's attack this time.
Because after returning in the second half, Su Jiu not only took the lead in destroying James' offense, but also converted it into a score.
You must know that on the basketball court, scoring this kind of goal is the most morale-boosting. While being able to score, it can also increase the excitement of the players on the court.
And this goal also seemed to let Stan Van Gundy see the team's counterattack horn in the second half! !
Sure enough, in the next few minutes, the morale of the generals of the Magic team seemed to be boosted because of Su Jiu's goal, and everyone on the field was extremely excited.
Even Xiao Lizi became extremely hard when defending James. Although he was still at an absolute disadvantage physically, Xiao Lizi was also very smart.
That is to stand as far back as possible. Even if James is allowed to shoot from outside the three-point line, Stan Van Gundy will not say anything.
Because this is Stan Van Gundy's defensive deployment of James before the game. After all, James' shooting percentage outside the three-point line in this period is not reliable.
And as long as the defense is further back, Xiao Lizi can lower the center of gravity as much as possible and reduce the distance of moving backwards, so that he can physically touch James.
Even in this state of full excitement, the generals of the Magic team became more and more courageous as they fought, and they seemed to be starting to crush the Cavaliers.
After the Cavaliers came back in the third quarter, instead of solving Su Jiu's problem on the offensive end, they also encountered a big problem on their own offensive end.
This also caused Mike Brown off the court to fall into anger instantly. While calling a timeout, he kept yelling loudly at the players to express his inner dissatisfaction.
But even if Mike Brown called a timeout in time, the momentum of the Magic has gathered.
In the end, after the end of the three quarters, the Magic team, which was at a disadvantage in the whole game, decided to:
78:74
Overtook the Cavaliers by four points and ended the contest between the two sides in the third quarter.
During the break, Su Jiu was sweating profusely as he sat on the chair, and his chest went up and down and panted heavily.
Although the Magic succeeded in overtaking the Cavaliers by 4 points after the end of the third quarter, the price was paid by Su Jiu playing the entire third quarter.
And under this kind of high-intensity confrontation, Su Jiu, who played a full session again, also felt very tired. At this moment, he was half lying on the chair, basically falling into a state of half collapse.
And the physical trainer beside him stepped forward immediately after Van Gundy's signal, massaged Su Jiu's muscles, and at the same time applied ice packs to Su Jiu's muscles to relieve him.
Seeing that his friend seems to have become a star at this moment, enjoying the reuse and service of the whole team, Courtney Lee also sat aside and watched Su Jiu's non-stop smirk, feeling excited for his friend.
Although this treatment makes Courtney Li Hao envious, but at this moment, Xiao Li absolutely does not want to be a role like Su Jiu.
Because looking at his friend lying there like a dead dog, Xiao Lizi felt a little bit of fear besides being happy for his friend.
Seeing Su Jiubai glance at himself, he didn't even have the strength to scold him at this moment, which also made Xiao Lizi on the side fall into silence, and he said to himself in his heart:
"Now I think being a role player, like..., is pretty good..."
At this moment, Su Jiu was lying on the chair, only feeling that his whole body was drained.
When running on the court before, although I felt very tired, but due to the constant confrontation, apart from muscle soreness, my body did not have much discomfort.
But at this moment, when he returned to the court to rest, Su Jiu felt that every muscle in his body was suffering from the pain of being pricked by needles.
Even his arms began to tremble unconsciously, the kind that was not under Su Jiu's control at all.
I believe that if Su Jiu made a wheelchair at this time, others would think that Su Jiu had Perkins without the slightest doubt...
"Su, you've worked hard. From now on, you just need to rest well. I will try to give you more rest time."
"But the game is far from over so far. I hope you will survive this last stage."
Looking at Su Jiu who was half lying on the chair like a puddle of mud at the moment, Fan Gundy had a helpless expression besides asking the trainer to give Su Jiu some muscle massage.
After all, the victory or defeat of a team will ultimately fall on an undrafted player. I have to say that this is definitely a very big tragedy for a team.
For Su Jiu, although this is an honor, it is also a tragedy...
And during this short break, the big screen at the scene also gave Su Jiu the exhausted look sitting on the field at the moment.
From the video, it can be clearly seen that Su Jiu is definitely very tired at this moment. He is half lying on the chair, squinting his eyes and his muscles are still trembling unconsciously.
This is completely a kind of exhaustion that makes you feel tired when you look at it.
This scene also made many fans tightly cover their mouths, while keeping themselves silent, they seemed to be holding back some emotions.
Some young angry fans felt great hatred for the Cavaliers at the moment, and their anger seemed to rise in a straight line in an instant, and they kept abusing the Cavaliers at home.
With all the emotions of sadness, anger, relief, and shock in the entire home court, Katy Perry, who was sitting in the front row of the Orlando Arena at the moment, tightly covered her mouth, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.
While trying her best not to cry, Katy Perry also stood up and kept looking in Su Jiu's direction, with a hint of worry in her eyes besides the gentleness.
Feeling as if someone was staring at him all the time, Su Jiu tilted his head off the field with difficulty. The moment he tilted his head, Su Jiu saw Katy Perry who had been staring at him closely.
Seeing Katy Perry covering the corner of his mouth all the time, and showing a worried expression to himself, Su Jiu mustered all his strength, and smiled in Katy Perry's direction:
"Don't cry."
When Katy Perry saw the mouth shape Su Jiu made to herself, she couldn't help it.
At this moment, Katy Perry cried out in the public, standing in the front row of the auditorium, desperately covering the corners of her mouth, as if trying to control the tears in the corners of her eyes.
But the tears flowed down like heavy rain, and they were not under Katy Perry's control at all.
At this moment, Katy Perry began to cry like a wronged little girl, and the tears had even washed away the makeup on her face.
But at the next moment, Katy Perry suddenly stopped her crying, put down her hands and smiled tearfully in Su Jiu's direction.
Although this smile doesn't look pretty at all...
Because she saw Su Jiu's last lip expression.
"Don't cry, just smile..."
