178. Having strength means you can do whatever you want
Artest had no choice but to pass the ball to O'Neal.
O'Neal Jr. has excellent ball-handling skills. He is very good from facing the basket to behind the basket. He is good at mid-range shooting. However, a very critical problem is that his shooting rate is very low. The shooting rate in singles is far less than that of catching and shooting.
O'Neal pushed his back towards Muhammad, trying to turn around and cut to the basket, but Rahim completely let Artest go and stayed behind Muhammad, waiting for O'Neal to turn around and come up.
O'Neal reluctantly retreated and took a mid-range jump shot!
Ironclad!
Ratliff on the inside skillfully turned around and used his long arms to suppress Artest and Foster who were rushing for the rebound. Rahim collected the defensive rebound and handed it to Jason Terry, who pushed forward the counterattack.
, passed it to Rahim while traveling. Rahim received the ball, stretched out his big arms and quickly dropped the basket to get two points.
Raheem went berserk today!
…
Today is the day for Raheem to showcase his talent in an official and highly anticipated game!
From the beginning of the game, Raheem took the initiative on the court and played a dominant performance on both offense and defense.
Among all the players present today, Rahim’s ability value is much higher than everyone else!
The Pacers' strongest player is O'Neal Jr., whose ability value is now 85 and has not yet reached his peak. Although O'Neal is in his sixth season, he is only 23 years old. He is not as old as Tinsley, the rookie on the same team, and he is not yet in the future.
The super power forward who averaged 24.10 and nearly three blocks per game is still young. He only averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds per game in the first year after leaving Portland prison last season. The total data of the previous four years of the rookie contract were combined.
It's not as high as Rahim's total statistics in his rookie year. Right now, Rahim far surpasses O'Neal in terms of points, rebounds, assists and even blocks.
Artest, his average per game this season is less than one-third of Rahim's. Maybe by the end of the season he can be half of Rahim's. His ability value is only 78, mainly due to physical fitness and
In terms of defensive awareness, he is not strong enough to guard Raheem, a top scorer who averages 24 points per game. He is still far from the peak.
Tinsley is very talented. He is a street ball player and has excellent ball control. He also has a passing sense that is rare for ordinary street ball players. But he is still a rookie. His ability value of 67 is not bad, much higher than Parker's rookie year.
.
Foster...is mainly responsible for being handsome.
Reggie Miller, the Pacers' talisman, is responsible for key balls and opening up space in regular time, allowing others to have good offensive opportunities in the mid-range and short range, but if he is to be the attacker to compete with Raheem, it will soon take 37
It's not easy to average 15 points on the court by running and shooting three-pointers at the age of 20. Now he still has an ability value of 83, and he relies entirely on shooting.
The Pacers' strength can threaten the 76ers and Raptors in their sixth and seventh positions in the Eastern Conference, but it is difficult for the Magic to threaten the fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks already have a clear advantage in strength.
In addition, today Raheem wants to prove himself and prove that he is worthy of the All-Star position he wants!
Jason Terry chased Reggie Miller from the defensive end like a wolf dog looking for meat and never let up for a moment. What a defensive pitcher needs is not good defensive ability, but the ability to keep up, and that's enough!
O'Neal Jr. and Artest are both only 22 or 23 years old. They will have at least two to three years to reach their peak. They still don't have the ability to create a defensive gap for a strong interior defensive team. When the Hawks
When everyone on the team is full of energy, the Pacers can't do what they did last time and take advantage of the Hawks' weakness to defeat the Hawks.
On the offensive end, Raheem began to do whatever he wanted. If either Artest or O'Neal reached the peak, Raheem would not be so easy to get what he asked for in the paint. But there are no ifs in the game. Today, I worked hard and went all out.
Rahim, who even started to use his brain to defend, was completely unstoppable by a team like the Pacers, old and young!
In the first quarter, Raheem scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks!
Seeing La Labo's hard work today, Liu Mang also took the initiative to pick and roll with Rahim after coming on the court, and then passed the ball to Rahim. Five or six times out of ten, it would be turned into an assist, and the other three or four out of ten times, it would be Rahim.
There are a little more moves to get to the basket, so it doesn't count as an assist.
Halftime 33-9, Raheem continued to run wild!
From the beginning, the Eagles relied on Raheem's dominance on both offense and defense in the mid-range and short range to lead the score, and continued to widen the point difference.
If it were the 60-plus-win Pacers coached by Carlisle two years later, the Hawks would probably be in trouble, but now this team is coached by Isaiah Thomas, a smiling assassin who doesn't know what to do except smile most of the time.
A very good pacer, Rahim used practical actions to tell people what it means to do whatever you want if you have the strength!
…
…
Some people must have found Raheem's wild words interesting. Some people looked at his data and thought he might have the ability to say such things.
But the vast majority, more than 90% of the people, reacted to Rahim's remarks with ridicule, or even directly criticized him!
In today's game between the Hawks and the Pacers, in view of the Pacers' excellent performance in recent times, especially the performance of Artest, who has suddenly become famous, everyone is waiting to see Raheem's jokes.
Raheem was blocked by the Pacers.
Everyone is waiting for the result of this game. Since there is no national live broadcast, the local TV station in Indianapolis has a live broadcast but cannot be seen elsewhere. There is no such thing as text live broadcast these days. People these days
Even the awareness of watching live broadcasts on the Internet has not yet been born. Of course, there is no such thing as online live broadcasts, and the Internet speed requirements cannot be met.
So we are all waiting for the news after the game. There is no other important game today, or in this boring mid-season, there is nothing else worth paying attention to. How Rahim performs is the most interesting and the most watched right now.

When most people open the website with the mentality of watching a good show, they are dumbfounded!
"Rahim scored his first 50 and led the team to a victory over the Pacers"

With 53 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks, Rahim’s career scoring high was born!
When Raheem finished the first three quarters with 45 points and 15 rebounds, everyone on the Eagles team knew that their team was going to have a 50-scorer!
After the start of the final quarter, everyone on the Eagles gave the ball to Rahim. In the third minute of the final quarter, Rahim scored 53 points with a turn-over jumper, helping the Eagles widen the point difference to 21 points.
The leader called a timeout and announced his surrender.
The Hawks may not be one of the top teams in the league, but facing the eighth place in the Eastern Conference playoffs, their strength advantage is still obvious.
The Smiling Assassin originally planned to use Artest to take advantage of the situation when Raheem might have psychological fluctuations and not play well. However, it turned out that Raheem's mentality really fluctuated, but it was not an explosion of mentality.
, but became tougher than ever before and began to truly lead the team to victory as a top star.
Liu Mang had a great assist today, with 8 assists in a single game, setting a new personal high!
After Rahim scored 53 points, he did not accept Emmanuel's encouragement to go up and score 60 points. He left the game after the Pacers surrendered, and his score in a single game was fixed at 53 points!
People looked at the flag that Rahim had set for himself with unfriendly eyes, but Rahim proved with his actual actions that he had the ability!
Many fans who were originally neutral just couldn't stand how "arrogant" Rahim was. News about him was everywhere on the Internet and TV, and they just felt uncomfortable. Now seeing Rahim's performance, they all feel that they should vote for him.
Chapter completed!
