NBA backer king

Chapter 137 Jordan, congratulations, you have been crowned the king of empty cutting
Wang Tiejun made an extra free throw. Today's free throw feels good.

Looking back, the Bulls' backup shooting guard missed a shot, and the Suns attacked. He once again asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing.

After getting the ball, instead of slipping to the bottom, he suddenly dribbled up and turned around to break through.

Perdo quickly retreated when he saw it, but at this moment, his feet were stagnant.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Perdo quickly stopped and wanted to rush forward.

But at this moment, with a bear step under his feet, another iron mountain was hit directly, and with a bang, Perkin, who was in a moving state, fell down again under the collision.

This is the system-integrated bear gait, which is reliable and sudden. The low-centered bear gait allows him to switch between relying on punching and breakthrough movement at any time without needing to adjust his posture. The high-frequency vibration keeps the muscles of the lower limbs in a state of exertion at all times. Although the movement speed is not fast, it is most suitable for his current athletic quality.

Grant, who was going back to the basket, didn't go up this time. He was hit a bit psychologically, and made an emergency stop and stopped on the right side of the basket.

"boom!"

With a one-handed dunk, the Bulls' basket was blown up again.

"Old K also played against the Bulls today. All of them were offensive dunks at the basket. He hasn't made a single shot yet. Even if he has the opportunity to shoot, he will choose to go in and dunk." Bill Walton laughed.

"He won't be able to play for a long time with his physical fitness, and he is in the rookie wall." John Hanks said.

Bill Wharton nodded. There is nothing to argue about this, because it is a fact.

Then the Bulls took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace Jordan and Pippen, and the Bulls attacked.

Pippen broke through with the ball on the left wing, and Grant on the weak side quickly cut in. The former made a cross pass, and the latter cut into the basket to catch the ball and then stepped up for a layup.

"Snapped!"

This time Wang Tiejun returned to defense in time, and a big cap was given to Grant.

"Shh!"

The ball jumped up and down, was caught by Jordan who came in behind, made a short-range jumper, and hit a ball.

Next, the Suns missed a ball, and the Bulls played a triangle offense, which created a singles opportunity for Jordan and made another shot.

At 35:36, the Suns trailed by 1 point and replaced Barkley and Dan Marley with Wang Tiejun.

After the second quarter, 52:50, the Suns led by two points.

王铁军打了11分钟，5投5中，3罚3中，拿到了13分4篮板1助攻2盖帽1犯规的数据。

乔丹上半场打了21分钟，15投9中，8罚8中，半场轰下了26分5篮板的数据。

A group of Suns players walked in the silent corridor, only the sound of panting and footsteps.

"Old K, you have to be careful. In the second time, Jordan took 6 shots, all of which were outside jumpers. There was no breakthrough. He was preparing for the second half."

Barkley said suddenly.

Wang Tiejun was stunned, nodded and said, "He wants to hit 50+ on our heads again, and we can't let him do what he wants."

However, he didn't take many shots in the first half, and his playing time was under control. He only played 11 minutes. Although all of them were dunks, his physical energy consumption was not very high. He could play more time in the second half, but he needed to increase some close-range shots.

He felt it, and now his body is not very tired, and it is better than before, which shows that his body is indeed breaking through the physical limit of the rookie wall, and everything is getting better.

On the other end, a group of Bulls players were also walking in the dark corridor.

Pippen smiled and said, "Michael, he scored 26 points at halftime, and this game is 50+."

A sneer appeared on Jordan's face, and he said: "I will do what I say, every time I see that kid, I will hit 50+, and I will step on him for the rest of my life."

After 15 minutes, the second half began.

Both sides dispatched all the main forces from the beginning.

Only the Bulls' main center, Bill Carterwhite, was not on. He was too old, and he was on the bench inside Ssetta King.

However, in the third quarter, the two sides did not play very fiercely.

On the Suns side, Barkley made an effort to score 15 points in a single quarter, leading the offense.

On the Bulls side, Jordan played off the ball, mainly outside jumpers, and only made two breakthroughs, and scored 10 points again. He scored 36 points in three quarters, only 50 points away from 14 points.

At the end of the three quarters, 83:80, the Suns led by 3 points.

Wang Tiejun left the field in the 6th minute, played only half a quarter, did not attack the basket, shot 2 balls, hit 1, plus 3 of [-] free throws, and scored [-] points in the third quarter.

前三节打了17分钟，砍下了16分6篮板2助攻1抢断2盖帽1失误2犯规的数据。

At the beginning of the final quarter, he was sent to the field against the Bulls' backup center Perdo.

Suns attack, pull away.

He asked for the ball to the top of the arc in the low position on the left wing, but suddenly turned around and slipped to the bottom, cutting back to the basket.

Perdo did not keep up, one step behind.

Kevin Johnson went straight to the basket and was caught in the air by him.

"boom!"

With an empty dunk, the Suns led by 5 points.

Looking back, Jordan missed a shot. He protected the backcourt rebound, returned to the frontcourt, and immediately squeezed towards the basket.

Perdo couldn't stand it, so he could only play around the front, but he was pushed away from the basket again, and the basket was empty.

When Kevin Johnson hung the basket again, Grant double-teamed to the basket. When he caught the ball, he took a foul tactic, hugged him directly, and sent him to the free throw line.

"Bulls be careful, this is Grant's fourth foul." ABC live broadcast, John Hanks reminded.

"Shh!"

The first free throw was made.

"Old K, it's a good free throw today." Barkley said with a grin.

"I bet he misses the free throw."

Old Wang was about to speak when Jordan's voice sounded behind him. He glanced back at Jordan at the center line and shouted, "Old guy, you scored 100 points today for nothing. You guys will lose today!"

Hearing the word "typing", Jordan's eyes sharpened immediately. He didn't like losing the most, not to mention playing basketball, he didn't want to lose even when playing games. He wanted to be a winner for the rest of his life.

For the second penalty, Lao Wang took the ball thrown by the referee, dribbled it seven or eight times in a row, and took aim for two seconds before taking the shot.

"Shh!"

Two free throws were made again.

"Humph!"

Jordan snorted coldly, turned around quickly and got off.

When rushing to the front court, he made a sudden stop, got rid of Dan Marley, received a long pass from Grant, and when he took the ball to the basket, he suddenly made a sudden stop jumper and hit a ball on Dan Marley's head.

"38 points, only the last 50 points away from 12+."

"87:82, we are still 5 points behind."

The two on-site commentators were excited and authentic.

Sun attack.

Seeing Wang Tiejun get into the basket again, Phil Jackson narrowed his eyes.

Top defense, no one can stand up.

If you go around, you will still be pushed away from the basket.

Single defense, really no one can control this giant beast.

"boom!"

With the violent sound of exploding baskets, Wang Tiejun completed a dunk before the double team arrived.

"How to do?"

Phil Jackson murmured.

Now we have to solve this problem. If we can’t solve it, what should we do once we meet the Suns in the Finals?
On the defensive end, Old K is nothing to worry about, but on the offensive end, there are some troubles.

If old K is allowed to go crazy at the basket, he will be forced to use foul tactics on a large scale, which may not be worth the candle.

Even if it was double-teaming, under that kind of ferocious attack, the giant beast could not be suppressed at all. In the first quarter of double-teaming, the two insiders were knocked down many times.

"Next season, Klaus will be traded for a meat shield."

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help it. The center position is weak, which is a flaw, and the two major inside lines are weak, which cannot be compensated by tactics.

What's more, he is not good at on-the-spot tactical adjustments at all, only good at adjusting players' psychology.

After half a quarter, Wang Tiejun took most of the team's shots, with a total of 6 shots, more than usual for a whole quarter.

6 of 5 shots were at the basket, 2 fouls were made, 3 dunks were successful, 1 hook was missed, 6 of 3 shots in the half quarter, 4 of 3 free throws, 9 points and 1 rebound in the half quarter.

In the first half of the quarter, Barkley mainly did defensive work, and his defense was better. Wang Tiejun is currently unable to defend against outside breakthroughs, and Jordan is a master of breakthroughs, so he must make up for the last defense.

In order to block Jordan, he sent two fouls in half a quarter, and he already had 4 fouls.

During the timeout, he came to Wang Tiejun and shouted: "Old K, your defense will not improve next season, don't expect me to do the dirty work for you."

"Don't worry, I feel good today, 9 of 7 free throws, brother, leave everything to me." Lao Wang patted Barkley's fat shoulder and smiled.

Barkley's face is black, I said defense, it's defense, damn old K, have you completely blocked the word defense?
However, the Suns still took the lead in the score, 97:90, and the Suns led by 7 points.

Jordan has already scored 40 points, but Wang Tiejun's efficiency at the basket was too high, and he became a little impatient.

Not only the outcome of this game, but more importantly, what about the finals?
Now he and Pippen have indeed suppressed the Suns' outside line, but the inside line has been completely overwhelmed by Old K and Barkley. With the efficiency of the inside line, if they continue, there is a high probability that they will lose.

He didn't want to lose to anyone, let alone Barkley, the same year's pick, and he didn't want to lose to the old K who slapped him.

"pass it to me."

At the critical moment, he only believed in himself, so after the game restarted, he took over the ball as soon as he played.

"Shh!"

Seven seconds later, he hit a pull-up jumper mid-range.

Dan Marley panted and shook his head. He tried his best, but he really couldn't prevent it and was blasted to pieces.

The outside line was blown up, and the inside line came to make up.

Barkley fought back, went to the basket for a layup, and scored a goal.

The Suns had an absolute advantage in the two major insiders. They began to exert their strength in the last quarter. In the first half, Wang Tiejun was the main attacker. In the second half, it was Barkley's turn. This is the strategy of the Suns tonight.

The two sides came and went, and in the last minute, Jordan had scored 1 points, but no matter how efficient he was on the outside, exceeding 46%, it was not as efficient as Barkley and Wang Tiejun on the inside.

In the end, Jordan scored 49 points, shooting 56% from the field, but lost the score.

114:102, a lot of losses.

In 41 minutes, Barkley scored 35 points and 16 rebounds with free throws, and scored 8 points in the second half of the final quarter.

王铁军全场29分钟，末节下半节只补中一个球，15投10中，命中率高达66.6%，9罚7中，砍下了27分9篮板3助攻1抢断3盖帽1失误3犯规的数据。

The two teamed up and scored 60 points, with a shooting percentage of more than [-]%.

Having won the game with a considerable advantage, Barkley turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile on his face. He glanced at Jordan, who was looking extremely ugly, and whispered to Wang Tiejun, "It's nothing, this old boy scored 49 points today."

"Old bird, congratulations on your being crowned the king of Kongban." Old Wang immediately yelled at Jordan.

"Damn boy!"

Jordan jumped into a rage, glared at Lao Wang, turned his head and walked into the player tunnel.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at Jordan's back, Barkley laughed so hard that he fell down.

Along the way, Jordan's face was terribly gloomy. No one dared to speak to him, not even Pi Er Er dared to speak to him. There were only panting and footsteps in the corridor.

Back in the locker room, after the chaos, everyone was resting while listening to Phil Jackson summarizing the game.

Phil Jackson pushed his glasses with his middle finger, and said: "Today, our tactics on the perimeter were very successful. We beat the opponent, both offensively and defensively, but we suffered on the inside. The combination of Barkley and Old K inside is really a headache.

They all need to double-team, and our defensive energy inside is seriously insufficient.

The good thing is that old K's game experience is not enough, Barkley just joined the Suns, and their head coach is also a rookie with limited abilities, so the Suns have not yet built an offensive and defensive system, and their combat power has not yet been combined. Many times they play their own way.

In addition, we haven't done enough for Old K's double-team tactics. We must make tactical arrangements for his ability to break double-teams. "

That's what he said, but he himself has no clue now.

Then he said: "In the future, we need to strengthen breakthrough tactics, make sure to kill old K, and control his playing time.

At the same time, to strengthen the control of passers, we need to switch defenses more and maintain greater attention to the game. "

At this moment, Jordan interrupted Jackson's words and said, "Phil, old K relies on his tonnage and strength to break the double-team, as well as his relying on hitting. Do you have any good solutions?"

Regarding this point, he still feels shocked when he thinks about it now. The four of them double-teamed Old K, and they were all overthrown, which is unbelievable.

After sorting out his thoughts, Phil Jackson said: "The tonnage and strength can be suppressed to a certain extent, but his current tonnage and strength have not reached an uncontrollable level.

It is said that he has gained weight, but he should be under 125 kg at present, and his explosive power is not enough. Two people can actually limit him. The reason why he can break the double team relies on the kind of relying on hitting skills, which makes up for his weakness of insufficient explosive power.

If we want to crack his attack, we don't have enough tonnage and strength to suppress him. Wilper is more than ten kilograms behind him in tonnage, and his absolute strength is also a lot behind him, so we can only use David Robinson's method of defending the old K. "

"Closer?" Jordan's eyes lit up.
Nodding, Phil Jackson said: "Judging from the current old K's game, he is the most uncomfortable with this kind of defense. Being entangled with him can affect his movement, his force and rhythm, and his shot. That's for sure.

I am going to try this kind of defense more during team training. You must be mentally prepared, because you will use a lot of small moves to achieve the purpose of defense. "

"Yes, coach."

"Okay, coach."

Several inside players nodded quickly.

In fact, they were a little apprehensive, because old K was already famous for his violence in the league, and he stunned the postman with his elbow, which made him even more notorious. Once they used stalking defense and made too many small and dirty moves, which angered old K, that pair of capable elbows that stunned the postman would be a great threat to them.

Phil Jackson said again: "In addition, our double-teaming speed against Old K today is not enough, it should be in place the moment he catches the ball, just like Grant broke his ball in the opening game.

His hands are big. Once he catches the ball, he can protect the ball very well. He must strike hard and fast when he is in control of the ball with one hand. The chance of stealing the ball is very short, and double-teaming must be fast.

It just so happens that the Suns don't have a three-pointer on the outside. With them pulling apart, we can put it aside appropriately and shrink the defensive formation. "

Jordan and Pippen nodded at the same time. The four of them were overturned that time. In fact, their double-teaming was very successful. They also hit the ball in the old K's hand almost at the same time, but they couldn't knock it out, because the old K had dunked the ball with both hands at that time, and he couldn't hit it at all.

Phil Jackson said again: "We need to increase some mid-range shots outside the paint area. He can't make up for it. This is where we can use it. If he makes up for it, we can directly rush in, or implement weak-side cuts. The effect will be better."

……

The visiting team's locker room is also summing up after the game.

Against the Bulls, and with Jordan scoring 49 points, Paul Westphal was in a good mood, very good.

If the Suns can reach the finals, then the most likely opponent is the Bulls, so the game just now is a very meaningful game.

Moreover, Old K's playing time is still under control. Once fully released, he believes that the Suns will have an advantage.

"When we play against the Bulls, our advantage lies in the inside, at the fourth and fifth positions. If we meet the Bulls in the finals, we will strengthen our offense inside."

When he said this, he said to Wang Tiejun: "Old K, since your style of play consumes too much energy, and the playoffs are more brutal, after a few series, your physical fitness will definitely have problems, so your playing time in the playoffs also needs to be controlled."

"Understood, coach."

There was no other way, he was playing in such an extremely confrontational style, so he could only agree.

Colangelo was listening, and he also had some thoughts in his mind.

As the former head coach of the Suns, he believes that although the current lineup is good, it has flaws. The long-range shooting ability from the outside is not enough, which leads to insufficient opening ability and cannot create better singles opportunities for the inside. This may be a hidden danger.

Now the old K has grown up, and the inside combination with Barkley is not only the first in the league, but also the top three in the league.

In fact, if only the offensive ability is counted, he can be said to be the first in the league, and the third is that the old K's defense dragged down the overall level.

Next, the regular season continues.
