NBA backer king

Chapter 356 Boss, I'm Confident I Can Slash [-] Points On Your Head
After losing to Mosaic, the Suns rushed back to Phoenix overnight because they were going to play back-to-back games. On the 20th, they played against the Washington Bullets at home.

In this game, the Suns won the game smoothly, but there was a little accident. Robert Horry sprained his ankle while defending, and he will have to rest for at least two weeks.

Back in the locker room, Lao Wang persuaded: "Robert, don't be reluctant, join my martial arts gym quickly, look at Barkley and the others, after joining my martial arts gym, they won't get hurt much."

"Old K, can you guarantee it?" Horry asked with a dark face.

This year, his salary is 160 million US dollars, and after paying the tax, he still has 90 US dollars left over. How can he have money to spend in K martial arts gym? If he has that money, he might as well go to a nightclub to spend.
"I promise ass."

Pharaoh said angrily, and went into the bathroom to take a medicinal bath without looking back.

Medicinal oil massage can indeed increase the ability and potential to resist injuries, but that is limited, and how can accidental injuries be guaranteed?

He has to be careful himself, no matter how good his ability to resist injuries is, when an accident happens, there is no guarantee that he will not be injured. Otherwise, what is he doing with the plum blossom step? Isn't it to reduce confrontation and reduce the chance of injury?If one day is unlucky, it would not be surprising if he gets injured.

It's just that the ability to resist injuries has been improved, and it can indeed reduce some injuries. Serious injuries become major injuries, major injuries become minor injuries, and minor injuries become minor injuries.

People like Horry's physique are actually not strong, and they are not very resistant to exercise. They are prone to fatigue in back-to-back games, and fatigue is easy to get injured.

Outside the locker room, several coaches were discussing things at this time. Horry was injured, and there was no one at the power forward position.

In fact, there are no candidates. Either the veteran Tisdale will be the main player, or David Wood, a fringe player, or the rookie Ben Wallace will be the main player.

One of the three choices, in fact, there is only one choice, so things are quickly determined, and Ben Wallace will serve as the team's main power forward.

At this time, Big Ben was about to take a shower, and people like him who had the lowest status in the locker room were the last to take a shower.

"Ben, come out."

shouted Danny Ainge, pushing open the door.

"Yes."

Ben Wallace was startled, quickly put down towels, deodorant and other things, and ran over.

"Ben, there is no one in the team now. You can only be the main power forward. I hope you won't let us down." Westphal said seriously.

To be honest, he didn't want to do this at all. Although Da Ben worked hard for more than a month, his performance was really mediocre.

"I play the main force?" Big Ben was confused.

Westphal said with a serious expression: "At the beginning, old K also temporarily changed from a trainer to a ten-day short-contract player because of the lack of people in the team, but he proved with his brave performance that he is the person the Suns have been waiting for, and you?
I hope you can also pass this opportunity and prove yourself. "

"Yes."

Da Ben didn't talk much. Although he was very excited, he couldn't see it on his face, but his eyes were very bright and his voice was very deep.

"go in."

Danny Ainge pushed Ben and opened the locker room door for him.

After Big Ben went in, he said: "This young man is still working very hard. Now he is training defense and rebounding with old K, and he is still doing strength training. He is getting stronger and stronger."

"It can be seen that his muscles are very strong, and his absolute strength quality is very good. Sooner or later, he will develop muscles in his brain." Lewis joked.

Danny Ainge laughed, but Westphal didn't, still worried about the lineup.

Although Ben Wallace is training with old K, but the time is too short, and the strength increase is limited. It is very likely that it will be difficult to be useful within one or two seasons.

Big Ben returned to the locker room, glanced at the frustrated Huo Li, endured the excitement in his heart, ran into the bathroom, and whispered to Lao Wang who was still soaking in the bucket: "Old K, I, I'm going to start."

Lao Wang glanced at Da Ben, you idiot, what's so exciting about this, Huo Li is injured, you can't play the fourth position, let two veterans and marginal people play the main force?

"Ben, look, this is called pie in the sky, but sometimes pie is poisonous. If you don't take this opportunity and screw it up, then you are finished."

He stretched out his hand and patted Big Ben's arm, and encouraged him: "Do it well, learn from that bastard Oakley, he plays rather than fights, you have to be as fierce as him. Although you have no offense, no defense, and no rebounds now, you have..."

Speaking of which, he seemed unable to think of what ability Big Ben had, and asked Kevin Johnson in the bucket next to him: "Kevin, what does he have?"

Big Ben's face is twitching wildly, I have strength, I have a firm will, and I still have muscles that have been rolled out of iron. Boss, you don't have to look down on me like this, right?I somehow made it to the NCAA Division II Final Four.

Kevin Johnson glanced at Big Ben, thought for a while, and said, "He has a good skill at cutting hair."

Old Wang was stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, so Ben, you are not useless, you must be full of confidence."

"Ha ha……"

Kevin Johnson and a few guys who were showering laughed.

Big Ben was shocked by the ridicule of Old K and Lightning, he laughed dryly, and went to take a shower dejectedly.

"Old K, don't play him useless. You still need him on the court. He will be your main power forward for a long time." Danny Ainge shouted outside.

"Don't worry, Ben's will is firm. I'm optimistic about him. If you can hit him with a joke, then you can let him go." Lao Wang said with a smile.

When Da Ben heard that it was okay, he immediately patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, boss, I am full of confidence in the future now, nothing can hit me, I even have the confidence to score [-] points on your head in the team training game."

"Cut [-] points off my head? Damn, I can't kill you." Old Wang froze, and immediately cursed.

"Haha..." The Suns locker room burst into laughter.

Wang Tiejun has no opinion on Daben as the starting power forward. He only thinks that Ben Wallace has no ability to stretch out. He will be double-teamed even more crazy in the low post, which is more powerful than Wilkins when he was in the main lineup. He just doesn't know what tactics the coaching staff will arrange.

However, Big Ben's rebounding is undoubtedly stronger than Horry's, which can reduce the pressure on him and free up more energy to focus on offense and defense.

Outside the bathroom, Horry was not very happy, but he was not too worried about his position being robbed. Ben Wallace has no offensive ability at all, that is, he has a little rebounding ability, and his defense may not be better than him.

On the 22nd, the Suns defeated the Grizzlies away.

这也是大本第一次以主力大前锋身份打的比赛，一共上场42分钟，拿到4分8篮板1助攻1抢断1盖帽1失误5犯规的数据。

From the data point of view, the performance is average, only rebounds are okay, the offensive performance is useless, almost does not participate in the offense, but the defensive performance is also average.

Although he defended hard, he didn't have enough experience and skills, and his defensive efficiency was average, and he was blown away by the opposing players.

"Ben, you did a good job. Just play like this. You will go back to get a haircut sooner or later." Lao Wang encouraged after the game.

The Suns returned home the next day, preparing for the Christmas game.

The opponent in this Christmas battle is the Spurs. From the analysis of strength, the two sides are almost the same.

Playing David Robinson, Pharaoh was very energetic. He scored 54 points in this game, blasted the Admiral, and also won a victory.

Daben continued his previous performance and was very stable. He was one step closer to going back to get a haircut.

On the 26th, the Bulls were defeated by the Pacers in an away game, and they lost their third game.

In this game, the big bug Rodman played only 3 minutes before leaving the field. His old injury broke out and he had to rest for at least half a month.

As a result, the Suns tied with the Bulls in record, and both sides rank first in the league.

On the 27th and 29th, the Suns defeated the Philadelphia Digital Team and the Nuggets one after another. On the 30th, they ushered in the challenge of the Supersonics.

It's back-to-back games, and to the Suns' advantage, it's home without the fatigue of back-to-back long-haul flights.

This season, the Sonics have become more and more mature. If it weren't for the mosaic of the Big Three on their heads, and the Suns, they would definitely be the first in the Western Conference. Now it is the third in the Western Conference, still above the Jazz and the Spurs.

The Suns' current record is 23 wins and 3 losses. The Sonics played one more game, 19 wins and 8 losses.

In addition, there is another thing that the media likes to talk about. Wang Tiejun's current scoring average has risen to 39.923 points, which is about to break through the 40-point mark. Although he has not finished the season, it is already a very shocking statistic.

The media have speculated that in this game, Wang Tiejun is very likely to break through this mark and reach an average of 40 points per game.

At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Sonics: Ervin Johnson, Detlef Schrempf, Shaun Kemp, Jose Hawkins, Payton
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Ben Wallace, Michael Finley, Wes Ripperson, Kevin Johnson.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT, and the commentators were the ace partners of the TV station, Marv Albert and Kevin Harlan.

"Crazy Karl formed a unique lineup today. The heights of positions 206, 211, and 206 are all over 208 cm. Center Johnson is [-] cm. Forward Schramf is [-] cm. Forward Rainman Kemp is [-] cm. Although the height of the center is not as high as the Suns, it surpasses the Suns in terms of overall height." Albert said.

Harlan took over the topic and analyzed: "Ervin Johnson, this young man with the same name and surname as the magician, was the No. 93 pick in the first round of 23. He has no strength and potential. Now he has been trained by the Sonics to become a meat shield."

"Ha ha……"

Albert laughed twice and said: "He is 125 kilograms now, and he can't stop Old K, but the fourth position of the Suns is Ben Wallace, an undrafted player, who has no shooting ability and doesn't participate in the offense very much, so no matter Schramf is the power forward, or Rainman Kemp plays the fourth position, they can stay at the basket all year round, and then help defend Old K.

Harlan went on to say: "Speaking of Ben Wallace, he is a rookie who participated in the draft in his junior year. He is an alumnus of Old Oak Oakley, and it was also Oakley who introduced him to his home team to study.

Oakley once said that Ben Wallace originally planned to participate in the draft after finishing his senior year, but he suggested a year in advance, because he believed that a year in advance, Ben Wallace was more likely to be selected.

Everyone knows that next year is the year of the draft, and many talented rookies will participate in the draft, so Oakley encouraged Ben Wallace to participate in the draft this year.

This young man is good at defense and has great strength. There is a scouting report in his draft data. He can become a meat shield to carry the old K, haha..."

Albert suppressed a smile and said, "It's a pity that his height is too short, so this point has been ignored by all teams, and if he can be ten centimeters taller, then I think no matter what, a meat shield that can carry the old K, at least a second-round pick is worth it."

The two were teasing Ben Wallace, when the starters started to play. When the starters started, there were enthusiastic cheers in the American West Arena, and the shouts of the Sun King wave after wave.

"A God-like performance in the finals has made old K's influence in Phoenix more and more powerful." Albert sighed.

Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "This season, Old K continues to show his dominance, scoring, rebounding, and defense. He has improved compared to last season. After two championships in three years, he has not stopped his footsteps, and he has not been lying on the super big contract of nearly [-] million US dollars. He is still constantly improving his performance, which is why the Suns fans support him so much."

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

Wang Tiejun and Sean Kemp jumped the ball and the Supersonics attacked.

Albert said: "Rain Man, who has just turned 26, has now reached the real peak, physical, technical, and game experience, a peak period of comprehensive strength."

At this time, the Sonics are in the frontcourt, and all players are moving quickly, throwing off the defense through mutual pick-and-rolls, creating opportunities for openings and dislocations.

The 206-centimeter German Schramf can play forward and center, but he has a precise long-range shot. This season, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 40.8%. At this time, he directly pulled to the left-wing three-point line, and Michael Finley followed him.

The Rain Man Kemp ran on the right wing, followed by Big Ben.

The two were about equal in speed, but the Rainman and Sonics shooting guard Jose Hawkins ran a pick-and-roll on the wing, knocked Ben off, and headed back toward the paint.

At this time, Payton's ball crossed the lightning barrier and passed to the inside Rainman Kemp.

Wang Tiejun, who blocked Ervin Johnson from the low position on the left wing, had noticed Kemp's inward cut and immediately turned back and rushed to the basket.

Kemp cut into the paint from the right waist, stepped up after receiving the ball, soared into the air like a beast, and rushed to the basket.

The raised right arm was like a battle ax, just waiting to be chopped.

At this moment, in his sight, there is only the basket, not the old K who has just returned to the basket and is already in front of him. He believes in his jumping ability, and when he jumps first, he can definitely crush the old K in the air.

At this moment, his heart was boiling with blood, and he wanted to knock Old K down and sink him.

In the next moment, this body full of infinite explosive power will blast the basket protected by Wang Tiejun.

At this time, nearly [-] Suns fans were all staring at their penalty area, and they all held their breath involuntarily.

On the right front side of the basket, within the reasonable collision zone, just as Wang Tiejun rushed here, he saw Kemp the Rain Man jumping up and flying towards him.

"So high!"

The jump was too high, definitely more than one meter, even 1.2 meters. The terrifying impact was visible to the naked eye, and he seemed to see a scud missile shooting towards him.

And in this reasonable collision zone, according to the rules, he must jump vertically upwards to defend. At this moment, he is at an absolute disadvantage.

"Button!"

"Cap!"

At this moment, in the TNT commentary booth, Albert, who felt his scalp was tingling, and Kevin Harlan, whose heart was boiling, shouted sharply at the same time.

"Old K, hat him!"

"Sun King, pull him down!"

The two commentators on the scene shouted with all their might.
