NBA backer king

Chapter 433
At 11 o'clock, the Suns flew to Salt Lake City for the next two away games.

At this time, at the Suns headquarters, Colangelo's assistant took a guest away from his office according to the appointment.

He is now the chairman of the Suns, and his son Colangelo Jr. serves as the president and general manager of the team. The main work is handed over to his son, and his main energy is on the work of forming the Arizona Cobra.

However, on the Suns side, there is also part of the work, and I will come here to deal with it every day, about two hours.

"Hello, Mr. Colangelo, I am Hawes John, representing the Robert Savoy Consortium." The guest, a white man in his 30s, said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Robert Savoy?"

Standing up and shaking hands, Colangelo muttered the name.

As an old man in Phoenix, he certainly knows who this name is. Although he is engaged in sports, he is also a businessman. Although he does not belong to the same circle, he has had intersections.However, there were very few intersections, and he didn't know this person well.

After 3 minutes, he knew the intention of Hanweis John, Robert Savor wanted to buy his team, hoping to start the acquisition negotiations.

This is not surprising. Now that the market value of the Suns has skyrocketed, people are interested in it. It is a natural thing that shows that the team is valuable, well-run, and his investment is successful. If no one is interested, it will be a nerve-wracking thing.

From his point of view, the Suns' investment has made money, and he is very happy if someone buys it at a high price. If the bid is reasonable, he can cash out at a high price.

It just so happens that he is now forming the Arizona Cobra team. The amount of investment in this team far exceeds that of the Suns. When the Suns joined the NBA, the franchise fee was not much. In 95, the Grizzlies and Raptors joined the NBA.

And he left a lot of Cobra shares for himself, more than 50%, so now he needs to raise a large amount of cash, and he also plans to sell the shares of the Suns.

Therefore, he did not reject the acquisition, and agreed on a time for the two parties to start acquisition negotiations.

That night, under O'Neal's strong performance, the Knicks actually defeated the Bulls and won an away game.

"Is the bull really dead?"

Seeing that the Bulls actually lost their second home game, Pharaoh was a little surprised.

If the Bulls lose an away game, he can still understand. Losing a home game means that the Bulls will be a little passive in the future, and at least they must win an away game to get back.

"Rodman and Pippen are both old, and so are several substitutes. The average age is said to be 32 years old, and besides Jordan, how many others are really pursuing the championship?" Lightning said.

Old Wang was taken aback, the pursuit of the championship?

Yes, the aging of a team is not only due to age, but also to the state of mind. If you lose the pursuit of the championship, no matter how young you are, you will be old and need cleaning.

Mr. Colangelo chose to trade Barkley back then, and later chose not to renew his contract with Glider. Maybe this is also the reason?

……

On May 5th, the Western Conference Finals G23 battle.

The postman is worthy of being an iron man. He had three stitches in the back of his head, but he didn't miss the game.

Seemingly inspired by the mailman's minor injuries, the atmosphere at home in the Delta Center Arena was almost ignited, and the performance of the Jazz was also very hot.

As the visiting team, the Suns were affected and did not understand their performance, and finally lost the G3 game.

The two sides tied two to one and will have a G25 battle on the 4th.

On the morning of the 24th, Colangelo Jr. received a call from his father and learned that a consortium wanted to acquire the team, and he would start acquisition negotiations with the other party immediately.

This news did not affect him. The family business is a business, and his job is a job, which is clearly divided.

As for his father's plan to take advantage of the rising market value of the Suns to sell the team, he understands and supports it. It is normal to cash out after making money from investing.

At present, the market value of the Suns has actually reached a limit, because Phoenix is ​​so big, the population is limited, and the ball market is also limited. It is already very difficult to develop upwards, so now, from the perspective of investment, the timing is right.

And his father's ideal is great. He wants to create a larger sports market in Phoenix. Investing in the establishment of the Arizona Cobra is the next goal. It is natural to withdraw capital from the Suns.

As for the development of the Suns, they are now on the right track. Even if the Colangelo family withdraws, the team will continue to develop, and they don't need to worry.

But in the end whether to sell or not depends on the negotiation situation, which is something his father can decide, and the negotiation process should be very long, and it may last for several years.

That night, the Bulls fought against the Knicks. Jordan scored 43 points at Madison Square Garden, shooting 57 percent from the field. He led the team to defeat the Knicks, taking a [-]-[-] lead.

"Still not old!"

After watching this game, Pharaoh also had to admit Jordan's strength.

On the 25th, the Western Conference Finals G4 battle.

"victory!"

The locker room of the home team, led by the postman Karl Malone, has not yet played, but the momentum is already extremely high, vowing to win the second home game.

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

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

Jazz: Campbell, Karl Malone, Brian Russell, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton
On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton analyzed: "The Jazz should have a better chance of winning this game. With the strength of the home court, the visiting team will be suppressed when the strength of both sides is similar."

Barkley and Bill Walton sang against each other, saying: "I disagree with you, Bill, do you really think that the strength of the Jazz is about the same as that of the Suns?"

"Don't you think so?" Bill Wharton asked in surprise.

Barkley said with a smile: "Of course, you see that the Jazz need to use various means to limit the old K, and the Suns will double-team a Jazz player?
In the first three games, the G2 game is not mentioned. In the other two games, the Jazz feel good, but who can guarantee that they will continue to feel good in the next game? "

Bass Felton also said at this time: "Yes, under the defense of the old K and Rasheed Wallace, the Jazz's low-post offense has always been small, mainly relying on jumpers after pick-and-rolls. Once the feel is not good, the result will not be too good.

As for the Suns, Old K is all low-post offenses, accounting for at least 30% of the Suns' shots. His low-post offense alone has surpassed the Jazz. "

Barkley said with a smile: "So now the big score is [-] to [-], the Suns lead, not the Jazz."

Bill Wharton laughed and could only nod, unable to refute.

However, he did not surrender directly, and continued to argue: "But the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics are very good. Every attack uses everyone's strength and cooperates with each other. Every game can get a lot of open and misplaced positions, so they can always maintain a good touch. Although the Suns' defense is good, but in the game against the Jazz, the effect of defending the pick-and-roll is not good."

"It's true." Barkley nodded.

Bass Felton said at this time: "In the past two days, the media has been hyping the internal strife of the Suns, saying that old K has lost the trust of the coaching staff and his tactical status will be reduced. What do you think?"

"It's mainly the media in Salt Lake City who are hyping. It's obvious what the purpose is. They are trying to interfere with the Suns." Barkley said bluntly.

Bill Walton said: "Old K's tactical status in the Suns is indeed very high, even higher than Jordan's tactical status in the Bulls..."

Barkley interjected: "That's because Old K is closer to the basket and more threatening, so he double-teams him more, and he has a good passing ability, so giving him the ball first is the best tactic."

Bas Felton said: "It's never wrong to give the ball to the strongest person, especially this strongest person can average 6 assists per game."

"Jerry, what do you think?"

At this moment, in Los Angeles, in Jerry Buss' mansion, he asked Jerry West very seriously.

Today he specially invited West to his home because of the media hype about the Suns and old K in the past two days.

Before the finals, the league will conduct a lottery ceremony. Although Stern did not agree to him directly, he believes that Stern will not watch the Lakers' market shrink and remain indifferent, so the Lakers still have great hopes.

However, if there is hope to get the old K, he can even use the No. [-] pick to add the entire Lakers to trade with the Suns.

Jerry West thought about it for a while and said: "Jerry, the media that hype is mainly from the media in Salt Lake City. Based on my understanding of the Suns management, the chance is not great, or even no chance."

Jeribas nodded with some disappointment, and suddenly said: "If there is a chance, I will get Old K at all costs."

"Understood." Jerry West nodded.

At this time, the game started.

Rasheed Wallace and Campbell jump the ball and the Suns attack.

Wang Tiejun first stopped at the low position on the left wing, and when Campbell came up, he suddenly turned around and cut around the opponent to the basket.

Jeff Hornacek defended Kidd. The latter relied on his superior tonnage to push the former close to the top of the arc. Seeing Lao Wang's inward cut, he suddenly made a side hook and passed the ball in.

The postman quickly rushed to the basket, Lao Wang quickly took off to catch the ball, was blocked by the former, had no chance to complete the dunk dunk, and immediately fell into the siege of the postman and Campbell after landing.

"Did you get double-teamed at the basket?" Zhang Reasonable's eyes widened.

If it was before, he wouldn't be in a hurry, because he believed that Wang Tiejun's serial kicks could wipe out all the double-team forces, but now with the K-law, it's hard to say.

At this moment, Wang Tiejun, who was caught in the double-team, suddenly moved out of the double-team, and then quickly jumped up, and with a bang, smashed the ball into the basket through the postman.

"Di!"

The postman didn't react, didn't take off in the reasonable collision zone, and was called a defensive foul.

"Beautiful!" Su Qun praised.

Zhang Lili was also dumbfounded, Tie Jun's jumping step is well used!

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley also cheered and said: "Good job, the old K's ability to break double teams is limited by the K law, but this jump shows that he still has the ability to break double teams."

Phoenix, Pharaoh's home, was stunned by the dream of not following the away game. What kind of pace is this?
Jumping?Of course he knew it was a jumping step, but old K had never used a jumping step to get rid of the defender before.

"Damn it, if a monster like old K still has such flexible steps, how can others beat it?" He shook his head.

New York, O'Neill wiped his eyes, and couldn't believe what he saw just now.

It is not uncommon for centers to use jumping steps. The three super centers often use them, especially Ewing's bunny jump, which is jumping steps.

But giant beasts like him and old K rarely use jumping steps, because the tonnage is too large, it is not easy to use, and it is unnecessary to use it. He hurts his knees, and he directly smashes away the opponent.

However, if he gets caught in the double-team of the postman and Campbell, he is not sure whether he can break through the double-team. After all, those two guys are big guys with a tonnage of 130 kilograms or close to it.

"hey-hey!"

Pharaoh laughed excitedly after he caught the postman.

The movement of the steps just now is that he came from the plum blossom step. The plum blossom step has three methods of walking, swinging, withdrawing, and stabbing. The method of withdrawing was used just now, which is to get rid of the enemy's steps.

But without the integration of the system, he can't use it much, and he doesn't dare to use it too much. He is afraid of making mistakes and violating the rules. It was just an attempt just now.

"brush!"

Then he made an extra free throw and made a two plus one.

The Jazz attacked, still a pick-and-roll, Jeff Hornacek cooperated with the postman, the postman dropped Rasheed Wallace, hit Kidd in a misplaced position, frightened Kidd away with an elbow, and then made a mid-range shot.

The Suns attack, Kidd gets the ball, and Hornacek defends.

"Shh!"

As soon as the away team got the ball, the home fans started to put pressure on the away team with loud boos.

"Whoosh!"

Still relying on the tonnage advantage, Kidd carried the defender close to the top of the arc, turned around suddenly, bypassed the defender in front, and passed the ball to the low post on the left wing.

"Whoosh!"

Before the ball arrived, Wang Tiejun noticed that the postman was rushing over. He suddenly took a step up, and then took off to catch the ball. Before Campbell couldn't keep up, he threw one hand towards the right bottom corner, and the ball flew towards Rasheed Wallace.

As soon as the ball was passed, he immediately rushed to the basket, ready to grab a rebound.

The one-step sprayer in the three-point line received the ball, and Stockton above rushed over, but the height advantage was too great to interfere with him. He took the shot calmly and the ball flew to the basket.

"boom!"

The ball went a little wide, hit the basket, and bounced outward.

"Rebound!" Su Qun shouted.

Under the basket, the postman and Campbell took off at the same time, but when they jumped up, a big hand grabbed the ball first.

"Don't even think about coming in!"

The postman and Campbell failed to grab the rebound. As soon as they landed, they both blocked the basket and prevented the old K from entering the reasonable collision zone.

"Go to hell!"

But at this time, the old K let out a yell, and jumped up for the second time, like a hungry tiger, holding the ball in both hands, pulling back his body, and violently smashed towards the basket behind the two.

"Don't think about it!"

"Don't think about it!"

The postman and Campbell tried their best to take off and block the shot, trying to rely on the strength of the two to prevent the opponent from attacking the basket.

But Wang Tiejun jumped even higher, forming a top-to-bottom swooping and crushing trend for the two.

"The button!" Zhang Lili shouted in a vibrating voice.

"Oh!"

In the next instant, the three of them collided heavily.

"boom!"

With the violent sound of smashing the basket, the postman and Campbell also turned backwards at the same time, while Wang Tiejun hung his hands on the basket, fluctuating up and down with the rise and fall of the basket.

"Oh!"

The boos all over the sky turned into shocking exclamations, and countless home fans stared at their own baskets. They couldn't believe that two insiders with a tonnage of 130 kilograms or close to it, and one of them was a superstar postman, were both dunked and overturned?
"yeah!"

Everyone on the Suns field and on the bench burst into cheers.

"Ow!"

In Fengshen Street, countless people cheered at this moment.

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley shouted excitedly: "This is the dominance of old K, see? He is unstoppable at the basket!"

Bill Wharton also roared excitedly: "The monster is breaking out, Sir, be careful, if you can't stop Old K, you will be eaten alive by him."

Bas Felton said with a smile: "Old K seems to be working harder in this game than in the previous two games."

Barkley said with a smile: "He is annoyed by being double-teamed and fouled by the Jazz every game. Do you think he is a good-tempered person? Wrong, his temper is not good, and it is very bad."

On the field, Lao Wang had already let go of his hands and landed on the ground. His legs were riding on the postman, and with a twitch of his mouth, he smiled silently at the latter.

"Old K, do you dare?"

The postman, who was about to get up, quickly did a sit-up, his upper body got up, and he grabbed Lao Wang's shorts with both hands and pulled them down.

"Damn!"

A part of the trousers was torn off, Lao Wang hurriedly grabbed his trousers, and at the same time stepped back, breaking free from the postman's hand, so dangerous that he almost lost his clothes.

"Crack, click..." The flash behind the bottom line flickered instantly.

"Oh, it's almost there!"

"The postman is slow."

A group of reporters kept sighing, if the postman was quicker, there would be a good show today, with old K
If you have a bad temper, you will play like a dog on the field.

"Postman, you idiot, you go too far!"

"Bastard old K, you are going too far!"

"I learned from Pi Er. You go to him and pull my pants next time. I'll never end with you."

"I can't elbow him to death!"

Lao Wang and the postman ran towards the Jazz's frontcourt cursing.

"Snapped!"

After 20 seconds, Pharaoh rushed out of the paint, and with a ferocious iron-blooded cap, fanned the ball thrown by the postman directly out of bounds.

"Come in and fight, you idiot, do you only dare to jump outside?" After blocking others, Lao Wang even spat trash talk to humiliate the postman.

The postman was not good at trash talking, so he gritted his teeth angrily, and vowed to give old K a good look.

The Jazz attacked again, with only five seconds left.

Stockton used the wall to break through, and the Suns followed closely. He didn't find his teammates running out of opportunities. There was too little time, so he could only make a shot in the left elbow area.

"Snapped!"

Pharaoh jumped up from the basket, jumped up after one step, flew two meters in the sky, and then directly caught the ball thrown by Stockton from the sky.

"Ah! It's another big hat. Is old K crazy today?" In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley jumped up excitedly.

"Ouch, the Jazz's morale has been hit by consecutive big hats, and the home court is very quiet now." Zhang Lili laughed at the CCTV live broadcast.

"Black and white Shuangsha are hated one after another, it really hurts morale." Su Qun laughed.

At this time, the Suns played a defensive counterattack, went down quickly, received a pass from Lao Wang, and made a layup.

7:2, the offense was unfavorable, and the Jazz called a timeout in advance.
