NBA backer king

Chapter 404 When Can I Become The Boss?
At eight o'clock, half an hour before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Pacers: Ewing, Dale Davis, Derek McKay, Reggie Miller, Best

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Rasheed Wallace, Robert Horry, Kidd, Kevin Johnson

Hu Weidong did not enter the list of 12 people, and sat in the auditorium. A group of domestic media reporters were interviewing him.

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Tie Jun joked that Hu Weidong might have a chance to play tonight, but he didn't. Weidong didn't enter the 12-man squad. Now he is sitting in the audience wearing a suit."

Su Qun asked excitedly: "Director Zhang, there are so many good seedlings in the old K's summer camp. After two more years of training, more people should have the opportunity to play in the NBA, right? By the way, do you think they will play in the NBA in the future?"

"Ugh!"

At this time, in the domestic capital, Wang Fei, the head coach of the 81st Brigade, sighed, Su Qun, Su Qun, did the 81st Team offend you?If you say Hu Weidong, you just say Hu Weidong, what are you talking about? Isn't this a fire?What a headache!
At 08:30, the game officially started.

Lao Wang is lazy, Rasheed Wallace and Ewing jump the ball, and the Suns attack.

Larry Brown's team has a purpose, I'd rather not score myself than let you score.

If there is one more thing, it is that the defense must be played according to tactics, and the offensive ends can play at will.

So from the very beginning, the Suns had to face a high defensive intensity. The two sides first fought an offensive and defensive attrition battle on the outside.

The Pacers switched defenses, and Reggie Miller switched on Kidd.

But at this time, the advantages of the Suns' dual-control tactics were revealed. Kidd definitely has the strength of a first-class point guard now, and Lightning's current state is absolutely top-notch. Two first-class point guards teamed up. Not to mention the Pacers' perimeter defense strength, even the Bulls can't even try to limit the Suns' perimeter.

When Reggie Miller was pushing up, Kidd saw that Old K hadn't finished his position, and suddenly transferred the ball to Lightning. When Lightning received the ball, Old Wang was already close to the basket. He caught the ball and stuffed it in.

"boom!"

The next moment, Pharaoh caught the ball, then leaned back, with a fierce back arch, knocked back Ewing, then turned sideways, and dunked the ball with one hand, smashing the ball into the basket.

"..."

Hu Weidong was about to cheer, when he suddenly realized that he is now a Pacers player, sitting behind the Pacers' bench, and could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"King Kong, you can't stand against me. It's useless to go around. Anyway, you can't defend against me. How can you defend against me? I actually have a headache for you too!" After Lao Wang succeeded, he spat out trash talk, just looking for fun.

"To shut up!"

King Kong glared, and Ewing gave Old Wang a hard look.

Well, Old Wang kept his mouth shut. Facing Ewing, who never talks trash, it would be embarrassing for him to do stand-up comedy by himself.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "The current starting lineup of the Suns is similar to last season, which was the season when they won the championship in 94/95. It has a strong ability to stretch, and the iron army still has a lot of chances of playing in low positions."

Su Qun said: "It's better for Wilkins to play as a substitute. With him on the court, the old K's chances of being double-teamed greatly increase."

"Di!"

Reggie Miller turned around to get the ball, and was defended by Kidd. He took a step back to face the basket after dribbling, and suddenly jumped up to shoot. At the same time, he moved his right leg forward and inserted it between Kidd's legs.

The ball was shot with a three-point shot, but the referee gave Kidd a defensive foul and Reggie Miller made three free throws.

"Shh!"

The American West Arena gave Reggie Miller a huge boo, and he spread his hands and looked innocent.

"Damn it, what are you pretending, who doesn't know you're making a foul?" A fan sitting in the front row stood up and yelled at Miller loudly.

Reggie Miller shrugged, not bothering the angry fans.

He dared to provoke all the Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden, and even jumped on the scoreboard in the 93 playoffs to insult all the home fans with the dirtiest words, but he dared not provoke the Suns fans too much here, because he was afraid that the old K would make trouble for him.

In the current league, no one dares to be presumptuous at the American West Arena, just like the Palace of Auburn Hills in the 80s.

"King Kong, I can't reach the big mouth outside, it will only make you look good, you have to take it easy." Old Wang said to Ewing.

"Old K, don't mess around. This is just a regular season. We don't meet in the finals. There is no need to fight to the death. The postman and Michael and O'Neal will be the cheapest."

No matter how silent Ewing was, he had to say a few words at this time. If he really messed with Old K, he would be the first to suffer.

"You're right. Then tell that bastard with a big mouth to stop stretching his bird legs. It's okay to make a foul. If you hurt my people because of this, I will definitely not be polite to you." Old Wang said.

Ewing nodded helplessly, and went to whisper to Reggie Miller.

"Reggie, don't listen to Larry, there is no need for us and the Suns to go all out, don't piss off that bastard old K."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

After that, Reggie Miller didn't use his trick again.

In this game, the paper strength of the two sides was close, but the Pacers played better and finally won the victory. The Suns were not in a good state and ended the winning streak.

After 17 consecutive victories, the team is a little tired and under a lot of pressure. The coaching staff doesn't have to win this home court, and the players are a little relaxed.

With 17 wins and 1 loss, the Suns still lead the league.

Next, the regular season continues.

Hu Weidong finally made it to the 12-man roster after two games, but he didn't have the chance to play.

CCTV broadcasted a Pacers game live, and it didn't see Hu Weidong play until the last minute, so CCTV's willingness to broadcast it was greatly reduced.

It was not until late December that Hu Weidong had his first chance to make his debut. He played 12 minutes in garbage time, made 5 of 2 shots, and scored 1 points and [-] rebound.

This is a good start, and then he began to slowly enter the Larry Brown rotation, at least not sitting on the bench all the time.

For the Suns, Wilkins has yet to come back, and Horry is injured again. After two weeks of truce, they lost to the Jazz on the 16th and got their second loss since the season.

With continuous injuries, the playing time of other outside players began to increase, and a chain reaction began to appear. Because of the increased playing time, Lightning relapsed from the old injury and rested for two games. Fortunately, it was not serious.

In addition, the inside situation is not bad, Rasheed Wallace has no injuries, and the two veterans don't have much playing time, and the situation is not bad, the inside is stronger than the outside.

But it is predictable that injuries will continue to occur, which is something that no team can avoid.

The Suns lost another back-to-back game. By Christmas, they were 23 wins and 3 losses, still ranking first in the league.

Teams like the Bulls also suffered some injuries, which affected their record.

On the 24th, the Suns arrived in New York, and the league arranged a Christmas game for the Suns to challenge the Knicks away.

In the evening, when Wang Tiejun went to the New York branch, he received a piece of good news from China. Liu Yumin called, and Team 81 let go.

This is good news, as big as a chance to participate in the 97 draft.

"Brother Tieshu, check O'Neill's consumption records for me."

When he arrived at the martial arts hall, he checked this thing and wanted to know about O'Neill's situation.

"It's not bad, Tie Jun. This O'Neill's consumption is much higher than before. He often eats broiler chicken, and uses medicinal oil and medicinal oil every day."

Wang Tieshu didn't need to look to know that he was paying attention to Wang Tiejun's opponent.

"He is very rich and has invested in a lot of businesses." Lao Wang laughed.

On the evening of the 25th, the game day.

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

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Rasheed Wallace, Hancock, Kidd, Kevin Johnson

Knicks: O'Neal, Oakley, John Wallace, Alan Houston, Chris Childs
The game was broadcast live on TNT, with Bill Walton and Buzz Felton commentating.

Bill Walton said: "Recently, the Knicks' record has declined a bit, currently 20 wins and 6 losses, and has fallen behind the Bulls and Pacers.

The reason for the decline is that the lineup itself has shortcomings. The third position is a rookie this year. It is a bit reluctant to play the main force, and the strength of the first position is also average.The second is injuries. "

Felton said: "The Knicks' team building idea is still the core inside and outside, and they have great expectations for Alan Houston.

After Houston reached the Knicks, he did not live up to the team's expectations. After O'Neal attracted defense in the low post, he got a lot of space on the outside. The current data is 33 minutes per game, scoring 21 points, 17 shots, and a 46% shooting rate. The efficiency is still acceptable. "

Bill Walton said: "Currently O'Neal is averaging 38 minutes per game, scoring 27 points and 12.5 rebounds, and shooting 55% from the field. There is a certain gap between these statistics and the old K. His main reason is that he is not as terrifying as the old K in terms of physical fitness, so the investment in various aspects cannot be as big as the old K."

Felton said with a smile: "Old K's physical strength is really strong, very strong, with a monster-shaped body, he can still maintain such a strong physical state, he is a real physical monster.

I remember that he had a physical problem, that is, his rookie season, and he never had a physical problem in the next few seasons.

And in the next few years, his physical fitness is getting better and better. In addition to offense, he has invested more and more in other aspects. This is not something O'Neal can compare. "

Bill Walton nodded and said: "Physical fitness is the most important foundation. A good physical reserve will allow athletes to maintain a stable efficiency and continuous contribution in long-term games and seasons.

O'Neill is more talented than old K, but I want to say that he is not as good as old K in terms of physical fitness, and this also restricts his performance. "

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "Now the Suns' second position is still not good enough, Kidd and Kevin Johnson can only play double-control tactics, and the Lightning basically fulfills the duties of shooting guard.

And his height is not enough, there is actually no way to play shooting guard. When he played the first position, he could score 20 points this season, but now his scoring average has dropped to 17 points per game, and his shooting percentage has also dropped. This is the reason. "

Su Qun nodded and said, "If we continue to play dual control tactics, maybe the record will be affected?"

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "That's for sure. After all, Lightning is not a shooting guard. His off-ball ability is not very strong. He must have the ball in his hands, so this tactic cannot last long. This tactic can only be played in the regular season. It will definitely not work in the playoffs.

So I think the Suns should change their lineup as soon as possible and let Kobe go up. Anyway, the coaching staff has already determined that what is needed is Kobe's defense. After half a season of training, the defense will definitely improve to a higher level, and it may be used in the playoffs.

You can see that the Knicks put the rookie at the third position to play the main force, and the record is also good.If a few main players die, the Suns may have more injuries. "

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

"Old K, why don't you jump the ball?" Seeing Rasheed Wallace standing in front of him, O'Neill shouted in doubt.

"Save your energy, this is my job." Old Wang said casually.

O'Neill was stunned, and couldn't help but look back at Oakley.

"Look at what?"

Oakley stared angrily, who is so-and-so's younger brother, do you still want me to jump the ball?
O'Neal smiled embarrassingly, and lamented in his heart, when can I really become the boss of this team?
He wanted to get back some face from Rasheed Wallace, and said, "Boy, are you old K's younger brother? You..."

The angry Rasheed Wallace directly interrupted O'Neill, blowing his beard and staring: "I'm not old K's younger brother, am I still your younger brother? Are you qualified to be my boss?"

O'Neill was stunned, damn it, can anyone spray me now?

"Haha..." Old Wang and the others burst out laughing.

"Di Di!"

The referee who was standing in the middle with the ball blew his whistle quickly, and stared to both sides. He couldn't beat it anymore. He came here to chat, didn't he?
"Snapped!"

O'Neal got angry and took the ball away first, and the Knicks attacked.

"The Suns will definitely not double-team O'Neal, and there will not be many opportunities to get open shots from the outside. I bet that Alan Houston will not have a high shooting percentage against Kidd's defense today." Bill Walton said at this time.

"boom!"

The next moment, under Kidd's defense, Alan Houston missed a jumper.

Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "This is Kidd's third season, his rookie contract is very long, there are 9 years, he should stay in the Suns for a long time, unless he offers a trade.

Although his career is not long, he has shown many things, such as assists, rebounds and defense.

As a point guard, not to mention assists, his rebounding ability is very strong. As a point guard, he can even defend from the first position to the fourth position. He has very good physical fitness, is very tough, and does not suffer from his height. "

Lao Wang came to the low position on the left wing and was blocked by O'Neill outside the paint area.

"Shark, how big is your tonnage?" He found that O'Neal was a little fatter than when he was in the Olympics, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"135." O'Neal said angrily.

"Did you say ten kilograms less?" Old Wang reminded.

"Don't worry about it." O'Neill said angrily.

At this time, Kidd passed the ball down, and Lao Wang began to single O'Neal.

"The first confrontation between two behemoths after the introduction of the K-law, let's see who is stronger." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"One-on-one, with Rasheed Wallace, the opponent's weak side defense will be very difficult to play." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Back!" Su Qun shouted suddenly.

Wang Tiejun received the ball, and first sat back with his buttocks.

Through this action, he let O'Neill's chest leave his back, and established the space foundation for the next use of Iron Mountain.

At the same time, through the contact between the hip and O'Neill, you can feel the state of the defender's body. If O'Neill retreats or hardtops, you can feel the feedback through the reaction force through this action.

"Hard top!"

At this moment, he made a judgment.

In the next moment, his iron mountain was activated by the blow.

The thick and majestic back arched back instantly, exerting force so fast, even if O'Neill wanted to retreat, it was too late.

"Snapped!"

His back hit O'Neill's chest heavily, making a loud and heavy sound.

"Uh!"

The shark let out a muffled grunt in its throat, only feeling its whole body being shaken, as if its body was about to be uprooted.

But his tonnage is too large. After the Olympics, his tonnage has increased by 140kg from last season's 5kg, or even more. In addition, the increase in fat this time has a full effect of reducing force. Under his full defense, Wang Tiejun really failed to bump him. He only moved a little under his feet, and retreated less than half a foot.
