NBA backer king

Chapter 361: One Mountain Can't Hold Two Tigers

"Oh!"

After the first hit, he took the opportunity to turn around and slip to the bottom.

He still wants to go in, and his efficiency is higher. Now that the outside offense is weak, if his efficiency cannot improve, this game will not need to be played.

At this time, O'Neill reacted very quickly and retreated quickly.

He is too familiar with old K. In his mind, old K is his only opponent. He has studied this opponent the most and is familiar with all his playing styles and habits.

This time, he did not move sideways because he knew that old K could quickly transform into hitting while moving. The instant force was very powerful, even more terrifying than the force of hitting on the spot. He suffered several losses and was even knocked over a few times.

What he adopted was to stay close to the body while retreating, instead of forcibly intercepting, he wanted to use his tonnage and strength to squeeze Old K out.

Wang Tiejun completed his turn and stepped into the paint area. At this time, O'Neill was stuck on the upper (right) side, and a huge force hit him. He couldn't help but loosen his feet, and his center of gravity fell to the bottom line.

But when he stabilized and regained control of the ball, O'Neal had already blocked him from the baseline, and he also joined the ball, unable to dribble anymore, he had to either shoot or pass.

At this time, Cobra Grant rushed over from the basket, and reached his side in one step, and the double-team was completed.

"Old K?"

At this point Perry ran behind him on the edge of the baseline. He threw the ball quickly, then ran over and caught the ball again outside the paint.

"Old K, I just died with you today."

O'Neill followed again, and pressed Lao Wang's back with his chest from behind.

At this moment, Perry suddenly rushed in close to the baseline, Lao Wang reacted quickly, suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball, and passed the ball from his and O'Neal's crotch into the paint area.

"Oh, beautiful pass!" a live commentator roared.

"Snapped!"

Perry caught the ball, threw a shot against Grant under the basket, and was slapped again.

"Oh, the Cobra blocked Perry for the second time, too bad." Another on-site commentary said angrily.

On the court, O'Neal turned around and got the ball, and the Magic attacked.

"ball!"

He ran to the front court, entered the low post on the left wing, saw the ball in the hands of Nick Anderson outside the three-point line on the left wing, and hurriedly roared.

"Poor!"

Old Wang sighed from behind.

"To shut up!"

Annoyed, O'Neill elbowed Lao Wang backhand.

"Poor person, there must be something to hate, big sewer, you really don't deserve sympathy." Old Wang scolded.

At this moment, Anderson passed the ball. After playing the game for a few minutes, O'Neill finally saw the ball flying towards him. At this moment, he was elated!
"Oh!"

Suddenly, when the ball was about to fall into O'Neal's hands, Wang Tiejun made a close-to-body hit, leaning forward with his left chest and shoulder.

This kind of completely body-to-body relying on hitting, because there is no room for exerting force, the strength is undoubtedly very small, but because relying on striking techniques has been integrated by the system, the technical movements of exerting force are perfect. If it is someone else, such as O'Neill, who exerts force close to the body like this, because the technical movements cannot mobilize the strength of the whole body, it is good to be able to exert 50% of his own strength, but Wang Tiejun can exert greater strength, 60%, or even more.

Just as O'Neill was about to catch the ball, suddenly a huge force hit him from behind, his feet went numb, his upper body rushed upwards, and with a snap, the tentacles of the ball flew out of the baseline.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle, pointed at the home court of the Suns, and made a gesture of switching offense and defense.

"A mistake, O'Neill made a mistake." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"Tie Jun defended very hard from behind, and the shark didn't stand firmly on his feet and was pushed." Zhang Lili said.

"Bastard, come on, let's hurt each other, I won't let you go."

On the field, O'Neill glared at Lao Wang with grief and indignation, and ran forward muttering.

The Suns attacked, Lao Wang was in the low position on the left wing, his left elbow was stuck, and his right hand wanted the ball, while O'Neal pushed hard from behind, trying to push the former farther.

Suddenly, Pharaoh put down his left elbow that was stuck in the position, turned around and slipped to the bottom.

"It's careless!"

With a sudden leap forward, O'Neill staggered and almost plunged into the floor, and pressed the floor with his left hand to support himself.

Outside the left-wing three-point line, Perry was being forced to move around by Anderson. When he was about to play a pick-and-roll with Finley, he saw the old K's movement, and immediately pulled the ball off the floor without thinking, and it went straight to the basket.

Wang Tiejun pounced into the paint area, made a reverse turn on the left wing of the basket, on the line of the reasonable collision area, and blocked the Cobra Grant who came to defend. At this time, the ball fell and was caught by his right hand with one hand.

"boom!"

In the next moment, he turned around and jumped up, pressing down on Grant with extreme strength and smashing the ball into the basket, causing the opponent's thug to foul.

"call!"

After scoring, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, facing O'Neill, the beast, really consumes a lot of physical energy, and every physical contact consumes a lot of energy.

For example, the important position before receiving the ball this time consumes a lot of physical energy, even more than completing an attack by Dameng's side.

If he continued to fight like this, no matter how good his physical fitness was, he would not be able to last many attacks.

"brush!"

Then he hit an extra penalty, 7 draws, and the Magic attacked.

"boom!"

Hardaway missed the shot.

Ben Wallace fought hard this time, holding Grant firmly outside and unable to get in, while Wang Tiejun blocked O'Neal and successfully protected the backcourt rebound.

O'Neal was very frustrated, playing other teams, he could still grab a few offensive rebounds, play a second offense, and play against the old K, the chance of grabbing offensive rebounds is too small.

"Old K, I can't attack, so don't think about it."

Next, he put all his energy on defense and grabbing backboards.

In the 9th minute of the first quarter, at 22:16, the Suns trailed by 6 points, and the two sides began to replace some substitutes.

In the first few games, Wang Tiejun usually won't end at this time, he will play the first quarter, and take a break between quarters and at the beginning of the second quarter.

But today, he was facing off against O'Neal, and he was exhausted because of too much energy.

In 9 minutes, he made 6 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 shots in the front, and exhausted his physical energy behind. O'Neal defended with all his strength, so he couldn't get in. He could only shoot from the outside, 4 of 2 shots, and his shooting percentage was mediocre.

而对位的大鲨鱼，后面靠着安德森和斯科特的两次传球，2投1中，拿到了2分4篮板1盖帽2失误2犯规数据。

Wang Tiejun was very dissatisfied, because O'Neill did not attack, and devoted all his energy to defending him, which affected his offense. When he left the court, he sarcastically said: "Shark, even a little brother can't handle it, what are you fighting with me?"

"Old K, do you want to fight?" O'Neill said with extreme grief and indignation.

"..."

Lao Wang couldn't help being shocked, has O'Neill lost his mind?He hurriedly turned around and left.

When he was leaving the court, an angry O'Neill took the water glass handed over by his substitute teammate, and slammed it on the floor with a bang, and the surroundings fell silent.

"Shaq, calm down." Head coach Brian Hill hurriedly shouted.

After O'Neill sat down, he covered his face with a towel, and no one paid any attention to it. The heavy panting sounded under the towel, like a bound giant beast struggling.

Next to him was Grant, and beyond that was Penny Hardaway. He was quite a taciturn person, and he didn't speak at this time, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Magic's infighting is unstoppable."

"The collapse of Magic is just around the corner."

"The collapse of the Magic has been irreversible."

"The magic is over!"

Seeing this scene, all the commentators, more than a hundred media reporters at the scene, and countless fans all had similar opinions.

On the court, the game continued. During the substitute time, Wilkins began to show his power. In addition, veteran Tisdale played steadily inside, and Horry also performed steadily outside. At the end of the first quarter, the score was equalized, the hole dug by the main force was filled, and the score was tied at 26.

"Although the main lineup is not good, but with Wilkins and Horry on the bench, the Suns' bench is really strong, and no team in the league will be afraid." Zhang Lili laughed.

Su Qun said with a smile: "Wilkins joined the bench and now averages 20 points per game, 6 points more than when he was the main player. The contribution to the team is indeed greater."

Zhang rationally analyzed: "I can come back after a few lightning strikes, and the situation will improve, and Tiejun won't have to fight so hard anymore."

Su Qun said: "Lightning has exploded again this season, and he is in good shape, but unfortunately, injuries are too annoying. Now the main lineup still lacks a stable outside shooter, and the defense is also good. People who can help defend, if they can Trade someone like that in, and the playoffs should go a long way.”

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Finley still has potential, he feels good, and he can defend well, but he is still a rookie, his shooting is not stable, he has not practiced three-pointers well, his ball-handling ability is weak, and his ability to break through with the ball is not good.

I think it can be cultivated. His shooting can definitely be developed. What needs to be strengthened is the training of ball control.

Although the Suns don't need him to have a good offensive ability with the ball, they need him to be able to hold the ball to attract defense on the outside, just like the glider last season. You can pass the ball to Old K if you can hold the ball. "

The second quarter of the game started at this time, and the two sides were still half main and half substitute, playing in rotation.

Wang Tiejun played in the 4th minute of the second quarter, O'Neal was also replaced, and the two began to compete again.

Although O'Neill was angry, he was serious about the game. He didn't want to lose to Wang Tiejun. This is a battle of giants. Extra training during the offseason would be a trip to hell for him, so he didn't want to lose even more.

Under such circumstances, Pharaoh could not play a high-quality offense, especially with the consumption of physical energy, the offense became more and more difficult.

次节8分钟，4投2中，一次篮下成功了，外面的投篮3投1中，加上造成了奥尼尔犯规，4罚3中，拿到了7分3篮板1助攻1盖帽1失误1犯规的数据，半场17分9篮板2助攻3盖帽2失误1犯规的数据。

In contrast, O'Neal is miserable. Hardaway has completely ignored him on the court. He can only get the ball from Anderson and Scott, but Hardaway is the point guard and the one who controls the ball for the Magic. , so he got very few balls, and it was difficult to grab offensive rebounds from Lao Wang. After one quarter, he only played two offenses.

次节8分钟，2投1中，吃了老王一帽，加上2罚1中，拿到3分，半场4投2中，拿到5分7篮板1盖帽2失误4犯规。

Fortunately, the outside line of the Magic's main lineup is much stronger than the Sun's main lineup, so after halftime, the Suns fell behind again, 48:52, 4 points behind, not too much.

"boom!"

Back in the locker room, the angry and depressed O'Neill couldn't hold it back. He punched hard on the iron wardrobe, making a concave mark, and then ouch, his finger was injured.

"Oops!"

The team doctor hurried up to check and found that the little finger of his right hand had been fractured.

"Shet! Shet..."

It has not been a month since his comeback, and it will take at least another month of truce. O'Neill was anxious and angry, and roared loudly.

A big shark that was about to go crazy, no longer the simple and honest play of the past, no one dared to provoke the Magic, even Hardaway remained silent, the atmosphere in the Magic locker room was like a volcano that was about to erupt.

It's a pity that O'Neill is O'Neill. Although he was about to go crazy with anger, he yelled a few times and sat down again with a frustrated look on his face.

In the next game, the Magic did not have O'Neal, and then Wang Tiejun completely controlled the penalty area, defense, and rebounding, all of which were strengthened. No matter how strong the Magic was on the outside, they couldn't get in, and without rebounds, they were ultimately unable to compete with the Suns.

王铁军下半场1分钟没有休息，全场打了44分钟，下半场轰下25分，全场轰下44分24篮板球4助攻1抢断5盖帽3失误3犯规的数据。

Su Qun said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't get 50+ in the fourth consecutive game."

"It's good enough to win the game."

Zhang Lili said something, and then said: "O'Neal didn't play in the second half. I don't know why. Is there really internal strife in the Magic?"

At this time, in the live broadcast of ABC TV, Bill Walton said after the game: "O'Neal is not here, the Magic completely lost the rebound, one in and one out, the Suns took advantage of the ball, and winning is a natural thing .

However, judging from the situation in the first half, we can see the effect of O'Neal's defense. As long as he wants to defend, he is indeed the only one who can limit Old K in single defense. "

John Hanks nodded and said: "Although Old K's offensive efficiency in the first half was quite high. He made 10 of 6 shots and his shooting percentage reached 60%. But in the same offensive round, he consumed more energy and his shots were also affected. If O'Neal continued to play in the second half, Old K's offensive efficiency will definitely drop, and may even fall below [-]%. This is O'Neal's defensive effect."

Bill Wharton added: "Today O'Neal didn't get outside support. He made 4 of 2 shots and had too few offenses. It's hard for us to analyze, but from the analysis of his singles against Old K, there is no obvious disadvantage. If he gets more offensive opportunities, I believe he will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Old K on the offensive end."

John Hanks said with a smile: "If the two behemoths really try their best to compete on both ends of the offense and defense, then I can be sure that their offensive efficiency will not be too high, and their defense efficiency will also drop sharply."

At this time, outside the locker room of the visiting team, Magic general manager Pat Williams was having a headache, how to solve the team's problems.

There are two groups of people in the management team, one supports O'Neal, and the other supports Hardaway. He supports O'Neal, but now O'Neal is injured again, and Hardaway's performance in leading the team is better. Considering that Hardaway is Jordan's successor, he has a gorgeous style of play, is popular with Orlando fans, and has more influence than O'Neal. Now his attitude has changed a bit.

"Need a deal?"

To trade the second behemoth of the league, this problem is too big, he thought over and over again, but couldn't make a decision for a while, and his old problem of choice syndrome suffered again.

But if there is no trade, O'Neal will be a free agent after finishing his contract this season, and if the Magic can't give him the contract he wants, he will pat his ass and leave.

This is why one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The team's salary space is determined by the player's status and interests. A team can only have one top superstar.

Unless another player is willing to be the second master, like Pippen, the team will inevitably have serious infighting like the Magic.

And Pippen's situation is also special. He can be said to have grown up under the whip of Jordan. Jordan's personality can be called a tyrant, and he completely suppressed Pippen in terms of strength and status.
