NBA backer king

Chapter 576

"Are the Supersonics looking for death? Are they crazy, do they want to hang themselves on the pillar of shame in history?" Barkley asked in surprise.

"That's right, wouldn't it be good to admit defeat early and enter garbage time, and let old K sit on the bench? Does Payton still want to win? Really want old K to score [-] points on his head?" Kenny Smith immediately echoed.

"This guy is so stupid, he deserves that he can't win the championship." Barkley laughed until he couldn't see his eyes.

"Yes, I offended old K, and I won't have the chance to hold my thigh in the future." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

Pointing at Ewing on the screen, Barkley said with a smile: "Look at King Kong, with a happy face, old K is in such a state, he should be looking forward to winning the championship this season, right?"

"It's possible. People still have to have dreams, or else they're just salted fish."

Having said that, Kenny Smith changed the subject and said, "But to be honest, the current lineup of the Suns is not good at defense. Nash at the first position has no defense. If they enter the playoffs and meet the Lakers, if Kobe defends him, the Suns probably won't be able to pass that test."

Barkley also nodded and said, "Even if we pass the Lakers and make it to the Finals, we still can't pass Kidd's test. The Nets are definitely very strong."

Speaking of this, he also said somewhat helplessly: "Both Kobe and Kidd were old K's younger brothers, and Kobe was even trained by old K as an apprentice. I didn't expect them to become obstacles in the way of old K's comeback to win the championship. I'm afraid old K didn't think of it before?"

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Not only the two of them, isn't Yao also trained by Old K?"

This time the festival begins.

Lao Wang appeared on the stage and continued to attack, forcing the Supersonic to have no choice but to adopt early double-team tactics, emptied the other person, and then hoped that the old Payton would lock Nash.

But this tactic was immediately deciphered by Pharaoh.

He is not O'Neal who weighs 135 to 100 kilograms. The big shark of that tonnage has reduced mobility and physical fitness is not as good as when he was [-] kilograms. Although his physical fitness has declined now, it is still as high as level [-]. His moving speed and physical fitness are enough to ensure that he can get rid of early double-teams through constant movement. The tank can't keep up with him, and the power forward can't keep up with him.

But it is no longer just attacking the basket blindly, but increasing the mid-range and close-range attacks. The efficiency has dropped a bit, but the speed of physical energy consumption has also decreased.

In the 3rd minute, Payton held the ball at the top of the arc, shook Nash away with a fake move, and made a three-point jumper.

Lao Wang saw that Nash was shaking and knew something was wrong. He immediately started from below the free throw line and rushed up quickly. After a pad, he flew into the air and flew two meters in the air. The defensive height completely blocked all the space below [-] meters.

"Snapped!"

Under the big hand, an extremely ferocious volleyball cap on the three-point line made Payton look pale, and he didn't slow down for a long time.

After playing another 10 minutes in the second quarter, he went off again.

In the past 10 minutes, he still made crazy shots, made 10 of 7 shots, completed 4 dunks, made 3 of 17 free throws, scored 42 points, and scored [-] points at halftime.

The offensive end exploded wildly, and the defensive end also had an explosion. In the second quarter, 3 big blocks and 1 steal were sent.

Under his leadership, 65:50, the Suns led by 15 points at halftime.

In just half of the game, his performance has completely made those who looked down on him no longer have any such thoughts.

Countless media outlets threw away the prepared press releases and began to re-edit new ones.

When returning to the locker room, Lao Wang was surrounded by a large number of media, but he did not accept interviews. He took too many shots in the first half and was very tired.

When entering the player channel, he ran into Payton, and he asked casually: "Gloves, do you think I can score 50+ tonight?"

Payton was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He scored 42 points. What are you asking?

"Ugh!"

Los Angeles, Jeremy Buss sighed, another missed opportunity.

Now he regrets that he agreed to the management's suggestion last year and retired the old K's jersey. If he does not retire the jersey, there may be more room for maneuver between the Lakers and the old K.

Like Bass, Jerry West also knew that he missed the opportunity again. If the old K is immediately given a super contract when he comes back, and the old K and Kobe join forces, with the Lakers lineup, it will definitely be another dynasty immediately.

But Kobe's thinking now is completely different from before.

At this moment, he was lying on the sofa, staring at the old K on the TV. There was no fluctuation in the expression on his face, but in his mind, there were waves of ups and downs.

"Old K, you are right, we can't play together anymore, there is no room for me at all beside you, we can never play together again."

After Lao Wang retired in 01, Kobe took over the Lakers and became the absolute leader of the team. Without the usual suppression of Lao Wang, his ambition was like a burning fire, burning unstoppably, and he was no longer the Kobe of the past.

Now Kobe holds four championships. He does not lack a championship, but he lacks a championship that leads the team alone. He wants to prove himself that without the old K, he can win the championship.

Before wanting old K to return to the Lakers, it was because he thought that old K was useless, and old K would not affect his status in the Lakers. He wanted to bring old K to win the championship together.

But now, the old K is not abandoned, with 42 points in the half, he is still extremely violent, and his offensive ability is even more terrifying. He didn't have a mid-range attack before, and now the old K's hook has expanded to the mid-two-point area.

It's easy to go up and down is hard. He has been the boss for a year, and he wants to be the boss for the rest of his life. Old K can't take his position away. He absolutely doesn't want to be old K's younger brother again.

So at this time, Kobe's thoughts are completely different from those of Bass and West. He is glad that old K did not return to the Lakers.

In the far east, in New Jersey, in a private room of a bar, Dayao and Kidd are watching the game together.

They made an appointment together and specially watched Old K's comeback battle.

At this time, Kidd was a little silent, while Dayao was beaming.

"Yao, aren't you worried about meeting old K in the finals? Can you stop old K's sideways attack?" Kidd asked worriedly when he saw Yao's excited face.

He is not missing the finals now, and he won a ring with old K. Now he has become an All-Star as he wished, and has even become a superstar in the league. Now he is actually the same as Kobe, hoping to win the championship as a core player.

Dayao laughed and said, "Brother Tie Jun is so fierce, he broke his opponent's bone right after he came back, the alliance will definitely restart the K-law, and I don't think I will face such a ferocious sideways attack from him in the future."

He still didn't say a word, even if the alliance doesn't restart the K-law, brother Tie Jun will definitely not break his bones.

Kidd thinks so. The league itself is promoting the four major shooting guards. Anyone with eyes can see that the league is suppressing the comeback of the old K. Now that the old K is playing such a brutal sideways attack, the league should indeed restart. K-law.

But he was still worried and said: "Old K scored 42 points at halftime, Yao, do you think we can beat the Suns?"

"this?"

Dayao frowned, and analyzed: "Brother Tie Jun took 20 shots in halftime, and if he was fouled, he took the ball at least [-] times. If we really meet in the finals, it should be impossible for him to play like this every game in the series. It's too crazy. No matter how strong his physical fitness is, he can't play like this, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Old K is the most terrifying stamina monster in the alliance, and he is completely comparable to Chamberlain." Kidd said.

Dayao scratched his head, then shook his head and said, "During the offseason, I went to Brother Tie Jun's house and stayed at Brother Tiejun's house for a few days. His physical fitness is not as strong as before."

"He told you?" Kidd asked quickly.

"En." Dayao nodded.

Kidd breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If his physical fitness can really support fifty or sixty shots in a game, with his efficiency, who can beat him?"

"You can barely shoot a lot in one game, but it's absolutely impossible in a series. After the regular season, you don't have much physical reserves. If you play like this, it will be exhausted very quickly. This is what he told me."

Dayao shook his head, explained for a while, and then said: "The reason why Brother Tiejun broke out tonight is because this is his comeback battle. The league and the media are not optimistic about his comeback. He wants to prove them wrong."

Kidd nodded, his heart resting in his stomach.

……

The key arena, the home team's locker room, and the Supersonics were discussing a question, whether they should continue to fight against Old K in the second half.

In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley smiled and said: "The Supersonics are unlucky. In the first game, they encountered the old K's comeback battle. The old K played crazy tonight. If he keeps going, the old K will hit 70+80+ tonight."

"Let's see if the Sonics give up in the second half." Kenny Smith said.

Soon after, the second half began.

"With a gap of 15 points, should the Sonics give up?" Barkley asked loudly.

"Oh, no, the Supersonics still have the main force. Is this to help old K achieve a high score?" Kenny Smith asked in surprise.

At the CCTV commentary booth, Su Qun was also surprised and said: "Supersonic is the real thing, old K's comeback battle, the No. 1 comeback battle in history, you can play whatever you want, just let old K get good data, what did you just do?"

"Payton is also a super giant. He debuted before the Iron Army. He was a superstar when the Iron Army entered the league. He must be unwilling to be a stepping stone for the Iron Army's comeback." Zhang rationally analyzed.

He was really right. It was precisely because of Payton's reluctance that he did not agree to give up, so the Sonics decided not to give up the game.

Payton believes that Old K's physical fitness in the second half is definitely not as good as in the first half, and he will not make crazy shots like the first half, but he can lock up Nash, thus choking the Suns' offense, and today the Sonics are actually in good condition. They made multiple three-pointers, so he is not willing to give up the game.

As a super giant, and a veteran super giant with more qualifications than old K, it is impossible for him to be willing to be a stepping stone for old K's comeback battle.

"If you don't give up, you will be crushed."

On the sidelines, in front of the Suns bench, Lao Wang glanced at the Supersonics, and said to Nash and others: "Give me the ball later, and return to Phoenix tomorrow. I will treat you to the K-era club."

"Oh hoo!"

The Suns players roared excitedly.

"OK." Nash nodded immediately.

"Boss, I want to eat chicken." Stoudemire shouted immediately.

"Order whatever you want to eat." Pharaoh smiled.

Ewing grunted and said, "I want to eat that beauty food."

Old Wang said in surprise: "King Kong, you actually want to beautify yourself? God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, even if you soak in it every day, I guess it will be useless. Your old face is completely hopeless."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter instantly.

Ewing's old face was as black as charcoal, and he gave Old Wang a look, then turned around and went back to the bench and sat down silently.

More than 20 minutes later, with the last 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the Supersonics were desperate, and Payton was also desperate, because at this time, Old K was still tossing them on the court. The Supersonics were already behind by 30 points, and they lost another 15 points in the third quarter.

Lao Wang shot wildly again, and after a halftime break, his physical fitness recovered, and he attacked the basket again. In the first 3 minutes, he took as many as 5 shots, scored 11 points with penalty shots, and injured the third Supersonic inside lane.

But this couldn't stop his offense. After that, he continued to ask for the ball and continued to attack crazily. The Supersonics had only three insiders, including power forwards.

His shots accounted for 45% of the Suns' shots in the first half, but they accounted for 55% of the team's shots in the third quarter. He made 14 of 10 shots, 71.4% of his shots, and 10 of 8 free throws.

70 points, which is also his career regular season single-game scoring high.

With the last 30 seconds left, the head coach of the Supersonics couldn't wait any longer, and replaced all the main players at once. Without asking Payton's opinion, he directly announced that he would give up the game.

In fact, Payton's fighting spirit and morale had long been blown away by the old K. When he was replaced, he didn't say anything. After sitting on the bench, he put a towel over his head.

Barkley said with a smile: "Why bother? I should have given up at halftime. Now let the old K score 70 points in three quarters. Why bother?"
我看手套就是欠揍，我兄弟贵为联盟历史No.1，复出之战一点面子都不给，现在好了吧？Got beaten up?

Gloves, if you have the guts, keep going, Old K might score 31 points in the final quarter, breaking Chamberlain's record for [-] points. "

Kenny Smith smiled happily, and said, "It's really possible, but I think Peyton has already collapsed, and he can't pull it up with three Mexican donkeys, haha!"

Barkley said impulsively: "If he dares to come up, I'll kiss the ass of those three Mexican donkeys."

Kenny Smith was stunned, then suddenly laughed and said, "Then I have to look forward to Gary Payton being tough."

But Barkley didn't have a chance to kiss the donkey's ass, because all the main players were replaced from the Supersonics, and everyone knew that the game was over. Old K made a successful comeback and completed his comeback with the most violent attitude. From now on, this league will still be the era of old K's behemoth K.

All the teams aspiring to win the championship felt a shadow over their heads, because a giant beast once again covered their heads, covering their sky. If they want to win the championship, they can only overthrow the giant beast, but can they do it?

Before the game was over, David Stern received a call from the owner of the Supersonics, asking the league to restart the K-law immediately, and then received calls from almost all team owners, still with the same purpose.

Kobe, Duncan, O'Neal, Garnett, Iverson, Kidd and other superstars now fully understand one thing. In front of them, a behemoth appeared, a public enemy of the league. If they want to prove themselves or win the championship, they must overthrow that behemoth.

Especially the superstars in the West, if they don’t overthrow the old K, they may not even have the possibility of breaking out of the West, just like David Robinson, who was suppressed by the old K in his peak period. He didn’t even touch the floor of the finals.

Even O'Neal was only tied to Jordan. It took four years to win the championship when Old K was seriously injured, otherwise he might be crushed for a lifetime.

At the end of the game, 130:85 points, the Suns won by 45 points.

As soon as the game ended, Lao Wang, who sat on the bench for a quarter, was surrounded by media reporters who flocked to him. The media couldn't wait for the media conference in an hour, and now they wanted to interview him.
