NBA backer king

Chapter 163 Tap!

The referee stood in the middle circle with a ball in his hand, and said to the players on both sides with a blank face: "Gentlemen, who dares to mess around today, there is no second chance, I will let him off the field directly, do you hear clearly?"

His eyes were mainly fixed on Yuren and Comrade Wang.

Yuren gave Pharaoh a look of fear and hatred, and nodded.

Old Wang said indifferently: "Sir, then you have to pay attention. If someone dares to lay hands behind my back and wants to abolish me, unless I can't get up, I will abolish him on the spot. Also, my teammates are the same. Whoever dares to act presumptuously will make him regret it."

The referee twitched his cheeks and couldn't stop at all. He had never encountered such an arrogant player.

Rain Man also had a heartbeat, not daring to look Lao Wang in the eye.

The other Supersonic players also looked at each other in blank dismay. Isn't Old K too bold to threaten them in front of the referee?

Only the four of Barkley laughed, old K, this is the person standing in front of them.

Center circle, jump ball.

"Snapped!"

Wang Tiejun jumped up, collided with Yuren in the air, bounced the opponent away, and took the lead to flick the ball away.

"ball!"

Entering the paint area, with a fierce iron mountain elbow close to his body, he drove off the rain man who wanted to entangle him, and he immediately began to ask for the ball.

Without him shouting, Kevin Johnson, who was not close to the top of the arc, had already passed the ball in. He caught the ball and was double-teamed by Rain Man and Sam Perkins under the basket.

"open!"

With both hands together, the left and right hits in a row. The tonnage of the 105 kg Rainman and the 107 kg Perkins is too small to hold him so fiercely. The two were even knocked over.

"boom!"

"yeah!"

With the sound of the violent explosion of baskets, the audience burst into cheers, and countless fists were waving.

"Yeah! Our behemoth, he is a behemoth from ZG, a crazy penalty area sweeper, he is invincible under the basket!"

"Revel, he deserves your loudest and wildest shouts!"

Excited, the two on-site commentators roared with all their might.

"Bean sprouts, don't try to stop me, you are too immature, I'm afraid I'll break your bones."

Standing under the basket, Wang Tiejun looked down at Yuren and Perkins under his feet. With a cruel smile on his face, he threw a trash talk and went to celebrate with his teammates who rushed over.

"That bastard!"

Perkins and Yuren hated each other deeply, but felt powerless.

Looking back, Ricky Pierce missed a mid-range shot, Barkley protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

"Old K, hit him again." Seeing that Wang Tiejun was in the low position on the left wing, Kevin Johnson immediately passed the ball down.

"Pinch!"

George Karl's voice sounded from the sidelines, very sharp and crazy.

"Oh!"

In the next moment, Wang Tiejun caught the ball and started a ferocious back kick. With the first iron mountain hit, Yuren was knocked back two small steps.

"Old K, knock him over!"

Countless home fans roared excitedly.

"It's too light, it's impossible to hold it, and O'Neill can't hold the old K who is fully exerting his strength." Bill Wharton shook his head.

"Oh!"

Before Yuren could stand still, and before the double-team arrived, the second Tieshan attack came.

"Uh!"

Yuren let out a pained snort, and fell on his back, hitting the floor directly on his back.

"yeah!"

Countless fans shouted, got up from their seats, and crazily raised their arms and shouted.

Wang Tiejun turned around and stepped up, flying directly over Yuren's head.

Perkins, who was on the opposite side to defend the basket, didn't dare to come over to block it, so he could only look up at the behemoth attacking the basket from the right side of the basket.

"boom!"

As the basket was blown, the American West Arena was once again in a state of boiling.

"Cough cough..."

Among the buzzing shouts, Rain Man's coughing was completely drowned out.

After finally getting his breath back, he couldn't wait to breathe heavily, as if he was about to die.

At the 10th minute of the first quarter, the Sonics called a timeout.

王铁军已经6投4中，3次暴扣全部成功，3个近距离勾手只命中1个，加上2罚1中，已经砍下了9分。

At 15:30, the Suns had led by 10 points in 15 minutes, exactly doubling.

However, he was also exhausted. He relied on hitting many times, especially the double-team attack, which exhausted his physical energy. He couldn't fight the next three attacks, let alone go in, so he used a hook on the outside.

This is his biggest limitation at present. His style of play is too strong, but it also consumes too much energy, which limits his number of attacks. Just like Barkley laughed at him, he has to rest for 2 minutes after hitting a ball, and he has to rest for a quarter after playing a quarter.

"Today's Rain Man has completely lost his vigor. We can't see the rage of the originator of Fauvism, let alone brutality. He was completely suppressed by the violent old K."

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Wharton led the way.

John Hanks said: "Continue to play like this, even if Old K doesn't have such a crazy offense behind him, the Sonics can't win this game.

At this time, Bill Wharton pointed to the screen and said, "John, have you noticed that Rain Man has been rubbing his chest, and he must have been hit hard by Old K."

John Hanks took a look, nodded and said, "Whether it's Dameng, the Admiral, or Ewing, double-teaming O'Neill and Mourning, after a match with Old K, they will choose a truce." Although Yuren is strong, his tonnage is only 105 kilograms after all, and his confrontation ability is far inferior to the five players I just mentioned, so I am not surprised that he has a truce in the next game, or even a truce in the second half."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "So in the second round of the Western Conference in the past, David Robinson never confronted the old K on the offensive end, because he couldn't play a rest in the series."

"Shawn, how are you?"

Before the Sonics bench, George Karl asked.

Rainman's jersey was rolled up, and if you look carefully, there is a large piece of blood on the dark chest, which is the phenomenon of a large number of capillaries being smashed.

With a painful expression on his face, he panted and said, "Damn it, it hurts so much! Quick, give me some painkillers, my chest is about to be crushed by him.

Oh God, I don't want to fight him anymore, he's a beast, he's a real beast! "

George Karl looked up to the sky and sighed, took a step back, waved his hand, and signaled the team doctor to go up and deal with it.

While dealing with Yuren's injury, he arranged his tactics and said: "From now on, as long as Old K is on the field, we will play fast breaks and use our speed to wear them down. On the defensive end, we should carry out flanking attacks and be fast."

After the timeout ended, Wang Tiejun did not play.

But on the Supersonic side, Rainman also sat on the bench and didn't go up.

After the first quarter, at 21:35, the Suns led by 14 points at home.

In the second quarter, the Supersonics played half the main force and half the substitute. The Suns played three main players. Barkley played for 10 minutes, and Wang Tiejun only played 6 minutes in the second half of the quarter.

When he was on the court, the Sonics really improved the offensive and defensive rhythm. He couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and he was the worst at dealing with this kind of fast-break tactics.

On the offensive end, when Barkley was not on the court, he was closely and fiercely flanked. Within 6 minutes, he only hit 3 of 1 hooks, 4 of 2 free throws, and only scored 3 points. The efficiency was not high, far worse than his performance in the first quarter.

In general, the Suns are not as good as the Supersonics in this quarter, because the Supersonics' bench lineup is much stronger than the Suns.

At halftime, 52:60, the Suns still led by 8 points, and were pulled back by 6 points in one quarter.

"Old K, how is your fitness?" Barkley asked on the way back to the locker room.

"No problem. I only played 16 minutes in the two quarters. After a 15-minute break, I can play in the third quarter. I only played a few minutes in the last game." Wang Tiejun laughed.

"Old K, you play less in the third quarter, and play in the final quarter." At this time, the head coach Westphal said from behind.

Now the team's most efficient offense is Wang Tiejun's attack at the basket, and Barkley can't match it, but because Wang Tiejun's physical fitness is limited, he has to save this opportunity until the most critical final quarter.

If Wang Tiejun is not needed by then, that's even better. Save him some energy now. Once he enters the finals, that's when he's needed the most.

"Okay, coach." Wang Tiejun turned around and said.

In the third quarter, he only played half a quarter again, fishing for fish on the court.

The Sonics counterattacked with all their strength, and at the end of the third quarter, 80:85, the Suns only led by 5 points.

"The Suns should have won this game," Bill Walton said.

"Old K only grabbed rebounds in the third quarter and didn't participate in the offense. He must be preparing for the final quarter." John Hanks said.

Bill Walton said: "The Supersonics are still hard to play. From the main force to the substitute, everyone can score, and everyone can't let go. If the Suns want to win, they have to work hard. They must not be careless."

In the final quarter, both sides dispatched all their main players.

Westphal arranged for Wang Tiejun to launch a strong attack in the second half, and he was also ready.

However, he has no chance.

In the first half, Barkley made a strong attack, scored 10 points in the half quarter, beat Perkins, and led the team to lead by as much as 14 points. The Supersonics were messed up by Wang Tiejun before the game. Today's morale was not high.

At the end, 100:112, the Suns won by 12 points.

王铁军全场34分钟，12投7中，命中率58.3%，8罚4中，拿到了18分11篮板2助攻 2盖帽1失误2犯规。

Today, his nearly two-point hook was not very good, and his hand feel was not good, probably because of the three dunks in the opening game, the hand feel was lost.

Bill Walton said in the summary after the game: "The Suns have won two consecutive home games, and the Western Conference Finals has the same situation as the Eastern Conference Finals.

Today, Yuren's condition is mediocre. He played 42 minutes, made 10 of 4 shots, and only dunked two. He made as many as 8 jump shots outside, and only made two shots.

Old K took more shots in the first quarter, but rarely played in the last three quarters. Because of his style of play, his physical fitness has always been a big problem. When the team is dominant, he really does not need to attack hard. "

John Hanks said with a smile: "Rain Man suffered a big loss in the first quarter of today's confrontation with Old K, and he has been deliberately avoiding Old K since then, that is to say, Old K rarely takes shots in the next three quarters, otherwise he will suffer even more. Big, that's why he seldom went in for dunks today."

"Old K's post-up play is excellent, and his offense around the basket is even stronger for a while, but if you really want to choose one of his strongest abilities, I would say that it is neither post-up play nor offense at the basket, but his strong confrontation." Bill Walton laughed.

"Not bad." John Hanks nodded without hesitation.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the management of the Supersonics was discussing whether to complain to the league about the old K beating the Rainman while on the court, but was stopped by George Karl.

What George Karl meant was that even if he lodged a complaint, the league probably wouldn’t impose much punishment. It’s useless to pay a fine. If he angered Old K, it would be even worse. Now that Old K has beaten Rain Man, the matter has been evened out, so don’t worry about it.

In the end, the management adopted the head coach's suggestion.

The home team locker room has a great atmosphere.

After a lively chat, Kevin Johnson suddenly said indignantly: "The league has taken too much care of the Bulls. Last time we arranged back-to-backs. This time the Eastern Conference Finals will start first, but now we will play G3 first."

Everyone was startled and nodded again and again.

It turns out that the G3 game of the Western Conference Finals was played on the 28th, but the G3 game of the Eastern Conference Finals was scheduled for the 29th, and the G2 game was played on the 25th. There were several days of rest time in between, so Kevin Johnson and the others felt it was unfair.

"I think the Knicks may have problems this time. The Bulls have a few days of rest at home. Whether it is physical reserves or psychological adjustments, there will be a strengthening. Once the Bulls tie the big score, the pressure will fall on the Knicks." Dan Marley said.

Danny Ainge said thoughtfully: "In the past few seasons, the Knicks have been eliminated by the Bulls many times. Ewing's performance at critical moments is not strong. With his psychological quality, if the Bulls really tie the score, the Knicks may really be eliminated."

After chatting for a while and venting my unhappiness, the matter passed. After all, the Bulls are the heart and soul of the league, and it is natural to have a preference. Who let there be Jordan there.

On the 27th, the Suns flew to Seattle.

The format of the Western Conference finals is the same as the second round, two two one one one, and then two away games will be played.

On the 28th, the Western Conference Finals G3 match day.

This game is very important to the Sonics, and they cannot lose. If they lose a big three, it will become zero to three, and the series will be lost.

In the end, 101:120, it really allowed the Supersonics to pull back a game.

The Sonics felt hot in the audience, 14 of 7 three-pointers, the team's shooting rate was as high as 57%, and the three scored 20+.

Not only did the Suns have major defensive problems, but they also failed to play offense under the supersonic's fierce flanking and infinite defense changes.

Kevin Johnson, who has always played very stable, only made 11 of 2 shots in this field. Barkley made 20 of 7 shots, and his efficiency was not high.

王铁军打了38分钟，遭遇了凶狠的包夹，13投6中，命中率只有46%，16罚9中，拿到了21分13篮板3助攻5盖帽2失误6犯规，在末节第7分钟六犯下场。

Among his six fouls, there were two offensive fouls, all of which were called when he was attacking the basket, and one was called when he was grabbing a rebound. There were only three defensive fouls.

Judging from these whistleblowers, the Sonics' home court advantage is obvious.

However, for the Supersonics' home court advantage, the Suns have long been mentally prepared, so a loss did not make the team lose confidence.

On the 29rd, the G3 battle of the Eastern Conference finals started.

In the end, 83:103, the Bulls won by 20 points.

Based on defense and rebounding, the Bulls forced the Knicks to make as many as 20 turnovers. He only made 12 turnovers, only 5 less rebounds, and [-] more steals, ensuring that his number of shots was not at a big disadvantage.

Then he made 8 of 5 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was as high as 62.5%. The overall shooting percentage was 4 percentage points higher than that of the Knicks, and the true shooting percentage was 10 percentage points higher than that of the Knicks.

Personally, the Knicks only played well with Ewing. He made 13 of 7 shots and 8 of 7 free throws. He scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. The others were not very good.

As for the Bulls, Jordan kept making breakthroughs throughout the game and was double-teamed by the Knicks. He only made 18 of 3 shots and a shooting percentage of only 16.7%.

Pippen made 12 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 10 of 8 free throws. He also made a lot of breakthroughs and was more lethal than Ewing. He scored a team-high 29 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Suns watched the game intensively in the hotel. After the game, the head coach Westphal said very seriously: "Have you seen it, this is lethality. If we meet the Bulls in the finals, this is a problem we must face.

It should be said that the Knicks' interior defense is stronger than ours. Old K's defense, especially the ability to assist in defense, is seriously insufficient. Our interior may, with a high probability, be blown to pieces by the Bulls. "

Assistant coach Lewis nodded and said: "The Bulls beat us, one is to break through and cause damage. If they can beat the old K, their tactics will be half successful. The second is to defend from the outside, forcing us to make mistakes and cutting off the connection between the outside and inside."

Westphal nodded and said: "Okay, put the Bulls aside first, let's get the Supersonics settled first. We must win the game tomorrow night, and we must not let the Supersonics tie the big score.

So for tomorrow night's game, all the main players must be mentally prepared, and you will have a lot of playing time. "

On May 5th, the Western Conference Finals G30 match day.

"Ah! Take it easy! Hiss! Ah..."

In the locker room of the home team, the masseur was massaging Yuren. From time to time, Yuren let out exaggerated cries or screams. Every movement of the masseuse made him feel extremely painful.

It is not the back, but the front chest, mainly concentrated on the left chest.

There is a large area of ​​swelling in the left chest. This is a blunt injury to the muscles after being subjected to multiple strong impacts. Even ice baths cannot solve the problem and prevent the muscle swelling.

Even the row of ribs on the left chest was aching.

This is the result after he tried his best to avoid confrontation with old K. After three consecutive games, he was still injured, and the accumulation of injuries became like this.

Especially in the last game, the Suns didn't play well enough. Old K, who wanted to win, came here for him. He sought a strong confrontation with him on both offense and defense, which made him suffer a lot.

He could even smell blood in the breath he exhaled, which made him feel a burst of fear.

Seeing the appearance of Rain Man and listening to his cries of pain, the shadow in head coach George Karl's heart can't go away.

He was sure that in this match, old K would hold on to Yuren, and would definitely fight hard until he completely destroyed Yuren's will and body.
