Chapter 151 Competing for Top Ten Trash Talk Name Scenes
69:77, the Spurs attack.

Sean Elliott singled Ceballos from the left-wing three-point line and hit a long two.

Turning around, the others pulled away. Barkley and Wang Tiejun stood in the low positions on the left and right wings. They were very active, and the Spurs' defense was in trouble. Who should they double-team?
Obviously, Barkley, who has scored 25 points today, cannot be guarded by Antoine Kyle.

On Wang Tiejun's side, David Robinson's single defense effect is also not very good, and he can't defend against it.

"Sean?"

On the sidelines, rookie head coach John Lucas yelled and pointed down.

This means telling Sean Elliott, let Ceballos go, and you go to double-team Old K.

If it's Barkley's side, you can defend the old K, so that Robinson can return to the basket in time, or implement weak side defense.

In the end, the ball was given to Wang Tiejun, and he played the offense.

Sean Elliott rushed over immediately.

But his man, Ceballos, also immediately cuts inside.

As soon as Wang Tiejun received the ball, the double-team arrived. He directly hit the unmoving iron mountain, knocked Robinson away a little, and then smashed the ball on the floor. After the ball rebounded, it was caught by Ceballos who cut inside.

Robinson reacted quickly, took two steps back quickly, and retreated to the basket.

Ceballos couldn't be sure to shoot on Robinson's head, and hurriedly passed the ball back to Wang Tiejun.

At this time, Sean Elliott made a contribution, cut in half a beat first, and broke the ball.

The Spurs then played a fast break and Dale Ellis made a layup.

"Snapped!"

Dan Marley caught up, and it was a chasing cap that made the audience boil.

"boom!"

However, David Robinson, who strode into the paint area, flew up, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, dunked the basket, and directly made a supplementary dunk, completing the offense and calming down the boiling home court.

"Run faster than a dog, the speed is really comparable to Master Bang!"

Wang Tiejun had just chased to the top of the arc, and the distance of more than [-] meters between the front and back courts was several steps slower.

However, this ball cannot change the general trend between the two teams. After the third quarter rest, the Suns' main players are in good physical condition at the end of the quarter. In the next few minutes, they still control the situation on the court and did not allow the Spurs to catch up.

At the end, 93:103, the Suns won the G2 game, achieved a winning streak at home, and occupied a big advantage.

Wang Tiejun made two hits in the second half of the final quarter, missed a hook shot, was fouled on an attack at the basket, made 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 1 point.

全场比赛，一共打了36分钟，13投7中，命中率53.8%，10罚6中，命中率60%，拿到了20分12篮板6助攻1抢断2盖帽2失误3犯规的数据，表现还是不错的。

大卫罗宾逊全场打了40分钟，26投9中，命中率34.6%，3罚2中，拿到了20分14篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽3失误4犯规的数据。

In the ESPN live broadcast seat, after getting this data and comparing it, Winston Rollins shook his head and said: "It's not that old K's efficiency is too high, and he only hits 53.8% of the shots. Yes, this is also very good, but in fact, rookie Mourning's efficiency in the playoffs is often higher than him, but David Robinson's efficiency is too low.

He is continuing the inefficiency of the first round. He just made jump shots from the outside and couldn't get in. As a center, his shooting percentage is less than [-]%, and he only got three free throws. How can the Spurs win? "

Carter Oldman continued: "Yes, we know that David Robinson shot in the early [-]s in the first two games of the first round, but the Spurs still won...

Well, the opponent in the second round was the Suns who swept the Spurs last season, not the Trail Blazers in the first round. His performance really made the Spurs unable to win the ball. His performance must be tougher and hit the basket more. "

Luo Lin took up the topic again and continued: "We analyzed the lineups of the two teams during the last game. Although the lineups are both strong and weak, it can be said that they are comparable, but don't forget that the Spurs are stronger at the third position. This is outside. It is not as efficient as the inside. Today, Sean Elliott did not perform as well as the day before yesterday. He made 10 of 2 shots. He can't help the team. At this time, as the core, someone should stand up instead of shooting outside."

Oldman said: "A paper analysis can't decide anything. The game depends on the performance on the spot. Today, the two big insiders of the Suns teamed up to score 51 points, Barkley scored 31 points, and K scored 20 points. All the insiders of the Spurs add up to this score, but their shots far exceed the two big insiders of the Suns. This is the reason why the Spurs lost. It is inefficient."

David Robinson was also blocked by reporters in the player tunnel when two commentators accused him.

"David, let's talk about the reason for the loss. We can't lose again. If we lose again, we will be swept away by the Suns." A reporter from the Phoenix Sports News asked solemnly.

David Robinson glanced at the logo of the microphone in the reporter's hand, wishing he could punch him. Do you think I'm blind or an idiot?
"Sorry, I'm tired."

Pushing the microphone away from his mouth, he turned his head and walked into the player tunnel.

"hey-hey……"

The reporter looked at Robinson's back and smiled happily.

巴克利正接受现场采访，他今晚轰下了31分16篮板2助攻7抢断3盖帽2失误4犯规的数据，在防守端大爆，表现不愧是超级巨星。

"Charles, what made you send 7 steals in a single game?" the reporter asked.

Barkley's face was about to burst into laughter. Of course, it was not for 7 steals, but for two consecutive victories. He laughed: "This is because we have invested more energy on the defensive end, and we are more focused on defense."

"What do you think about this series now?" the reporter asked again.

"We have to make it to the Western Conference Finals, otherwise all this is meaningless." Barkley put away his smile and said seriously.

Five minutes later, a cold war broke out in the visiting team's locker room.

Head coach John Lucas was about to make a post-match summary, but David Robinson ignored anyone and went straight into the bathroom. He didn't come out until the post-match summary was finished, which made the atmosphere in the locker room quite embarrassing.

The boss McComb regretted firing Larry Brown. After all, he was still an old coach, and Lucas, a rookie, had no control at all in the locker room, and his coaching ability was average.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team is quite good. The active players are walking around, noisy and happy.

"Old K, you go in first."

In the bathroom, head trainer Aron Nelson has a vat of tap water at the ready.

"OK."

Wang Tiejun nodded, got into the bucket and sat down.

Two minutes later, after his body got used to the water temperature, Nelson picked up a large bucket of ice cubes he had prepared, and poured them into the bucket with a clatter.

The water temperature dropped slowly, which also slowly lowered Wang Tiejun's body temperature.

The ice bath felt okay, not too uncomfortable. He turned on the system, and the expected single-defense level was raised by another level. It is now level 85. What Barkley taught him really worked.

However, level 85 is still a bit short, not even top-notch, so he still has to work hard.

"Lewis, is it over with the Bulls?" Barkley's voice sounded outside.

"just ended."

Assistant coach Lewis nodded and said, "The Bulls won the second game in a row and won by 19 points."

"How did Michael behave?" Barkley asked with concern.

"He was average today. He only scored 18 points and his shooting percentage was only 44.4%." Lewis said solemnly.

"He played like this and the Bulls are winning?"

"Without relying on Jordan to win, such a Bull is even more terrifying."

The other players also quieted down after hearing this, and began to discuss.

Lewis went on to say: "The Bulls still rely on defense to build perimeter advantage, forcing opponents to make more turnovers, then grab more rebounds, and play a more reasonable offense at the same time.

The Bulls had 12 more assists than their opponents, 9 more rebounds, 5 more steals, and 4 fewer turnovers. These are details.

In addition, although Jordan's state is average, the others are good. The Bulls' overall shooting rate is as high as 50.6%, while the Cavaliers only have 44.4%.

The Cavaliers had no temper in losing, took 13 fewer shots than the Bulls, and had a lower shooting percentage. It is unreasonable not to lose. "

"So we have to rely on defense. The Bulls' perimeter defense is indeed one of the best in the entire league, stronger than us."

That's when head coach Paul Westphal said.

Everyone nodded one after another. They were able to win the game smoothly tonight because they also took the lead in defense.

While the Suns were talking about the Bulls, the Bulls in Chicago were also talking about the Suns.

After winning the G2 game by a big score, the Bulls were not too excited, because the strength of the Cavaliers and the Bulls is too different, so it is not worth being excited.

In the locker room, head coach Phil Jackson just finished the post-game summary, and then said: "The Suns' game ended before us, and they also won a winning streak."

"Phil, how is that rookie doing?" Jordan asked abruptly.

Phil Jackson glanced at Jordan. The latter looked very serious. He said, "20 points and 13 rebounds. He averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds in the second round. He actually played like a superstar, which was stronger than his performance in the first round."

Jordan's eyes were fixed, and as his expression became serious, the other Bulls players immediately became serious as well.

Phil Jackson knew why Jordan was so serious and why he valued a rookie.

One win and one loss with the Suns in the regular season, the Bulls did not have the strength to win against the Suns, which is why Jordan is serious.

The reason why Jordan asked about K's performance was because the Bulls' internal strength was not enough for the Suns.

The Bulls are strong on the outside, and the Suns are strong on the inside.

At this time, he said: "Old K's performance in the playoffs is really eye-catching. He is not inferior to his performance in the regular season. He can be said to be one of the best rookies in 92. Only under O'Neal and Mourning, Laettner can only be equal to him."

"Old K did perform well. In the second round against Robinson, his performance was actually better than against Divac in the first round. The stronger you get, the stronger you get!"

It was General Manager Jerry Krause who spoke. After saying this, he couldn't help but sighed deeply, his face full of regret.

Both Phil Jackson and Jordan glanced at Klaus, knowing why the general manager sighed and regretted.

Jordan snorted coldly: "We can suppress them from the outside, cut off the connection between the Suns' outside and inside, and thus control the game. Our outside defense can do this."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Pippen, who nodded quickly.

Phil Jackson also nodded, this is the most correct tactical thinking.

Phoenix West Arena, the post-match press conference begins.

"Coach Lucas, after losing two away games, what do you think about the prospects of this series? Can you predict it?"

For the Spurs, a reporter from the San Antonio Sports News asked.

John Lucas said with an ugly face: "Of course we will solve some problems, and then strive to win two away games to achieve a large score balance. With the home advantage, we are sure that we can do it, and we are still full of hope."

"In the game just now, where do you think the Spurs lost?" the next reporter asked.

Lucas shook his head in disappointment and said: "The Suns played a suffocating defense tonight. Our offense was greatly restricted, resulting in low offensive efficiency. The overall shooting rate was only 40.3%, while the Suns' shooting rate was 46.5%. There were 17 turnovers in the game, while the Suns only had 8. These are the key reasons for our loss."

"How are you going to solve these problems?" the reporter asked.

"We will formulate more targeted tactics, and we will play more aggressively on both ends of the offense and defense." John Lucas briefly dealt with it.

"David, do you have an explanation for tonight's loss?" The next reporter was an ABC sports reporter.

"It's disappointing. The opponent's defensive tactics are quite successful. We haven't found an efficient offensive tactic. This is where we need to improve." Robinson said.

"Tonight your efficiency is not as good as that of your opponent, Old K, and you are more often one-on-one. Do you have any explanation for this?" The reporter asked again.

David Robinson squeezed his fist, but it didn't feel right again, he immediately released it, let out a breath, and then said calmly: "As an athlete, we can't maintain the best condition in all the games. I hope the next game can return to my original state."

"What's your opinion on Old K?" The reporter asked again.

However, the host of the Spurs refused to give the opportunity, and asked the staff to go up to collect the microphone, and handed it to the next reporter who was flopped.

"David, how do you think we can limit old K's low-post offense? Single defense or double-team defense?" The reporter who took over the microphone was a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily, and he still asked a question that made Robinson uncomfortable.

Robinson said with a dark face: "This is the matter of the coaching staff, not my job. I am only responsible for implementing the tactics formulated by the coaching staff."

"So do you think your defense against Old K was a success or a failure?" The reporter asked immediately.

This is what made Robinson unable to answer. He was slammed against the wall and froze there, which was very embarrassing.

Fortunately, the host responded quickly and immediately took back the microphone.

……

"Old K, just once in the game you said a trash talk to David Robinson, he looked very angry, can you let us know what it is?" a reporter asked with great interest.

"Ha ha……"

Old Wang smiled triumphantly: "I told him, General, you almost stopped me!"

"Oh hoo!"

"No wonder Robinson almost died of anger."

"This trash talk is definitely worthy of a famous scene."

"I think it's time for a top [-] trash talk scene."

The reporters screamed strangely and talked a lot.

……

On the 14th, the Suns had no training in the morning and rested at home. They will head to the away game at noon.

In this playoffs, the league has a visible "favoritism" towards the western teams.

Because in the second round of the series in the West, there are actually back-to-back games. The G3 and G4 games between the Suns and the Spurs will continue on the 15th and 16th, and the Mosaic and the Supersonics are the same, but there is no such situation in the East.

After a long regular season, back-to-back games actually appeared in the series. This is probably the first time in history. No wonder some media said that Stern intends to win the Bulls' three consecutive championships this time.

When Wang Tiejun got up at almost 9 o'clock, Zhang Lili had already prepared breakfast, and a large stack of newspapers was also placed on the dining table.

"Brother Zhang, thank you!"

After washing up, he sat at the dining table, picked up the newspaper, and said with a smile, "Let me see if there are any media compliments on me."

"Yes, I've seen it. The average performance in the second round was 20+10. Who does the media not praise you? Even the sports section of the New York Times gave you a few words. This treatment belongs to the level of a real star." Zhang Lili laughed.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, and he took it over to see that the number was unknown, it was a mobile phone number.

"Hello?"

"Old K, I'm Shaq O'Neal."

"The big sewer?"

He said in surprise, "How do you have my number?"

"I got it from Sir Barkley, he is my fan." O'Neill said proudly.

"Just blow it, big hair dryer." He said angrily.

"Hey, the big hair dryer is a good nickname, I want it." O'Neill said happily.

"Tell me, Sewer, are you calling me to brag to me about how good you are at fishing?" he asked.

"Damn old K, please call me Big Sewer, I'm Big Sewer. Also, I don't like fishing." O'Neill said angrily.

"OKOK, stop nagging, I'm having breakfast, tell me, what's the matter with you?" he asked.

"It's okay, I just want to invite you to have breakfast. Do you want to come over? I have good fish and a big hamburger. If you come over, I will prepare one for you." O'Neill said.

"boom!"

He slammed the phone down, then threw the phone on the table, and said: "This damn sewer, let me fly thousands of kilometers to have breakfast, is he out of his mind?"

"Ha ha……"

Over there, at O'Neill's house, he laughed triumphantly.

Both Mourning and old K made it to the playoffs, and even made it to the second round. They both performed very well and had a bright future. Only he, the best rookie, was fishing. Feeling a little depressed, he had to tease the two of them in this way. Not only did he call old K just now, he also called Mourning to make an appointment for breakfast. It was a prank.
