NBA Backer King - Chapter 616
At half past eight, the game begins.
Pharaoh and Randolph jump the ball, the Suns attack.
“Oh, the old K played low, and Randolph followed up. Let him play the old K.” Su Qun said.
“One-on-one, Randolph can’t defend Tiejun absolutely. His single-defense ability is average, that is, he defends with size and tonnage, but these have no advantages against Tiejun.” Zhang Reasonable quickly analyzed.
The left wing is low, and Randolph takes top defense.
He is only 206 centimeters, and the shoe height is actually only 203 centimeters, 10 centimeters shorter than Lao Wang. He adopts top defense, which makes him look a lot shorter, completely using the small to prevent the big.
His tonnage is now 118 kilograms. With his height, this tonnage is very large, the center of gravity is very low, and his strength is also very strong. His offense at the basket uses his strong body to squeeze the defender away to gain shot space. And it’s quite flexible.
This is his third season. With entering the starting lineup of the Blazers and playing the All-Star performance in 2010, his self-confidence is now very strong, but his temper is very bad. He is called a bad boy in the Blazers. To make some movement, this is where the management has a headache.
He was taught by old K on the field, such as the second round of last year’s playoffs, but the matchup time was not long, so the blow was not big, and he didn’t have any awe of old K, but hoped to pass old K , to show off.
“Boom!”
Old Wang received the ball with a ferocious back arch, and the obese Randolph grunted and stepped back a foot.
“Boom!”
While Randolph was trying to stabilize his center of gravity, the second back arch came one after another, knocking him straight back and falling over.
“boom!”
The next moment, Pharaoh turned around between dribbles.
The moment he turned around, he saw that Duncan had already defended to the basket. It only took one step to block the left side of the basket and block his attacking basket, but he still chose to take off.
Stepping forward, he jumped up with all his strength, flew directly over Randolph, glided for one meter in the air, held the ball in his right hand, and slashed fiercely at the basket one meter away.
Duncan, who was about to step over, shrank his eyes, and quickly flashed towards the bottom line.
This is his seventh season, and his body is not as strong as before. Facing the old K who is as strong as a beast in attacking the basket, even if he successfully blocks the shot, he will definitely be knocked into the air, and he may be injured or even destroyed. With a serious injury of a career nature, he could only choose to give up.
“boom!”
The next moment, there was a violent basket explosion sound.
“Boom!”
Like a volcanic eruption, the American West Arena boiled instantly.
“Ohoo!”
There was a strange roar, and an on-site commentator grabbed the microphone and stood up excitedly, shouting loudly: “Our invincible Sun King is back!”
This time, the Sun King’s shout set off another frenzy.
Randolph was pulled up by Duncan, panting heavily, he felt his chest had been crushed.
He is very thankful that he didn’t talk trash to old K just now, no, he didn’t have time to talk trash, so it’s not too embarrassing now.
However, his confidence is still there, because his defense is only average, and his strength is offense. He is full of confidence in his offense. He wants to regain face on the old K through offense. stand up.
When he came to the low post, he went straight to the basket, but immediately found that the old K was going around to defend him, and he had no chance to catch the ball.
He hurriedly moved around, thinking that since he was smaller and shorter, he would have some advantages in moving, but he was disappointed again. The old K moved faster, and his body was completely covered by the old K. Payton, who was holding the ball outside, Can’t see him at all, and he can’t see Payton, so he can only evacuate the paint.
But when he came outside, the old K still walked forward. He still had no chance to catch the ball, so he couldn’t help being very angry. He pushed the old K in front suddenly, and then he heard the sound of the whistle.
“Boy?”
Old Wang turned around and looked at Randolph in surprise, why are young people nowadays so crazy, dare to push him? This made him start to doubt his deterrence in the alliance.
But he didn’t know Randolph’s psychology at this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have this idea.
As soon as Randolph pushed the man, he regretted it. When the old K turned to look at him, he hurriedly took a step back. One step was not enough, and he took another step, afraid that the old K would shake his fist at him.
Of course, it is impossible for Lao Wang to do anything.
To this day, he does not regret beating O’Neal off the court, because O’Neal had no protective measures against him for two malicious fouls.
The referee gave Randolph a personal foul and the ball was exchanged.
The Suns are attacking, and Payton is a little anxious. What he wants to beat most now is the Suns after the old K returns, so he strengthened his defense.
But Nash immediately pulled away Payton with a faster speed and a wide range. At this time, Lao Wang was at the free throw line to respond.
“Snapped!”
Old Wang received the ball, because of the passing distance, Duncan had already rushed to his side, and completed a double-team with Randolph.
As soon as Duncan left, Stoudemire quickly cut to the basket from the right wing.
Lao Wang threw it casually, and the ball flew in from Randolph’s head.
“boom!”
The next moment, Stoudemire received a dunk and smashed the ball into the basket.
“Beautiful! This is the tactic developed by the Suns last season. It is useless to defend against Nash, and the old K can organize the offense. And Nash cannot be defended to death. His speed is so fast, and he is definitely in the top ten in history.” Zhang Reasonable Excited authentic.
Su Qun said: “Director Zhang, the Blazers use Payton as the starting No. 1 position and Flying Squirrel as the backup No. 1 position. Their strength in the No. 1 position is really strong.”
Zhang rationally nodded and said: “Little Flying Squirrel is in very good condition this season and seems to be recovering from his injuries, but his defense is not as good as Payton, so he can only play as a substitute.
The Trail Blazers have some problems at the second position this season. The relationship between Bunch Wells and the coach was not handled well. He was sent to the Grizzlies at the end of November, and now he mainly relies on Anderson. ”
Su Qun said: “The Blazers are not only strong at the first position, but also strong inside, not to mention the main force, two 2010 All-Stars.
As a substitute, there is Rahim, the 96-year golden third pick, but he was seriously injured last month and was reimbursed for the season. In addition to him, there is Theo Ratliff, a very strong defensive insider, but he was also seriously injured last month and was reimbursed for the season.
The available inside substitute is Dale Davis, but he is also old, 35 years old, and has no strength. The remaining inside substitute is a marginal man with no strength. ”
“Ha ha…”
Zhang Lili laughed, and laughed happily: “It seems that the Trail Blazers are also suffering from injuries this season! They are not worse than the Knicks.
It is because their lineup is too thick, which hurts two excellent substitute insiders. The combination of main insiders is too strong, and they can still play the first record in the league.
But Duncan and Randolph played too long, and there are also potential injuries. Therefore, after the All-Star break, the Blazers should increase their rotation, especially inside, and their record will definitely decline. ”
Su Qun nodded and smiled: “Yes, with the return of old K, the record of the Suns should increase. The Timberwolves are only half a game ahead of the Blazers. The Blazers lost a game the day before yesterday, and now they are only 4 games ahead. , the Suns really have a chance to reach the top.”
In the 7th minute of the first quarter, during an attack on the basket, the unstoppable Wang Tiejun knocked over Duncan who was returning to the basket from the weak side, forcing the Blazers to call a timeout.
Subsequently, the Blazers chose to give up the game for the purpose of protecting Duncan and Randolph because of serious injuries inside.
The Blazers have considered it quite clearly. It is no problem to lose a regular season game, but if old K hurts one of Duncan or Randolph, the Blazers will be in big trouble.
But instead of giving up directly, Duncan and Randolph reduced their defensive efforts.
The result of the Trail Blazers reducing the defensive strength inside was to encourage Wang Tiejun’s attacking strength. He scored 54 points in only three quarters, leading the team to lead the Blazers by 21 points in three quarters, making the last quarter a garbage time.
The Suns won the Trail Blazers, only 3 games behind the opponent, and still ranked third in the West.
After his comeback, he hit 50 in three consecutive games. Wang Tiejun’s comeback is very violent. The headlines of the sports pages of major media are all about him. His popularity is so high that he should not be second-guessed.
Next, the Suns still have three home games.
No. 6, against the Supersonics.
The Supersonics have long been reduced from a strong team in the Western Conference to a bad team. They failed to make the playoffs in three of the last five seasons. The new owner is planning to move. The relationship between the team and Seattle is very tense. Everyone knows now.
In the evening, the Suns beat the Sonics. In order to frighten the league, Lao Wang broke out again, clocked in three quarters, and scored 50 for the fourth consecutive game.
No. 7, back-to-back at home, the Suns face the Jazz.
Because of the consecutive battles, his teammates felt cold, Lao Wang broke out powerfully, scored 50 in the fifth consecutive game, and led the team to five consecutive victories.
Because the Timberwolves lost, the Suns completed their overtake and climbed to the second place in the Western Conference, still 3 wins behind the Trail Blazers.
After two days of rest, on the evening of the 10th, the Suns defeated the visiting Eastern Conference Raptors at home. Lao Wang clocked in three quarters again and scored 50.
After defeating the Raptors, the Suns rushed to San Francisco overnight. On the night of the 11th, they played back-to-back home and away games to challenge the Warriors, the bad team in the West.
This night, the Warriors proved the fact that as long as the touch comes, there is no weak team in the NBA. The whole team has five players in double figures, one player has 30 points, and the whole team has 8 players scoring points. They are inseparable from the Suns.
The main forward couldn’t stop Lao Wang. After being injured, the substitute forward Cardinal stood up and made 10 of 14 shares, with a shooting rate as high as 71.4%. He made 2 of 3 three-pointers and 11 of 11 free throws. Gao, scored 32 points with free throws and grabbed 8 rebounds, playing a explosive performance that has never been seen in his life.
In order to prevent Cardinal’s impact on the basket, Lao Wang tried his best to defend. He committed three fouls on Cardinal and five fouls in the game. Still, the substitute forward scored 32 points. He couldn’t prevent it with all his strength. opponent.
Unable to guard against the opponent, he could only make up for it with offense. Cardinalka’s super explosive performance forced him to explode. In 46 minutes of four quarters, he scored 58 points. At the end of the game, the Suns only won 3 At the last second, Cardinal missed a three-pointer. If he hits it, he will have to play overtime. The outcome is unpredictable.
Lao Wang led the team to a wave of 7 consecutive victories, ending all the regular schedule before the All-Star, 40 wins and 15 losses, second in the West.
The Blazers lost again, and the Suns took the opportunity to narrow the distance with the Blazers, and now they are only two games behind the opponent.
After his comeback, Pharaoh scored 50 in seven consecutive games, tying Chamberlain’s historical record of scoring 50 in seven consecutive games and tied for first place.
His state can no longer be described as berserk, but miraculous, which has completely caught the attention of the league and the media.
Even for the US media targeting him, for the sake of sales, they had to use the headlines to publish his news.
On the morning of the 12th, Magic Johnson was interviewed by the media at the Los Angeles Airport, and said with a shocked expression: “I can’t believe that old K can still play at the age of 31, actually 30 years and 8 months. Such an incredible performance.
Even, he has never played such a violent performance in the regular season before, which is really breathtaking and incredible. ”
Barkley was interviewed at the Phoenix airport and said excitedly: “I knew it would be like this, he has been holding back his stomach, don’t ask me why, I don’t want to offend the league.
Yes, both O’Neal and him were at fault in the last Western Conference Finals, but O’Neal was only suspended for 3 games, while he was suspended for 50 games and lost the 7th championship that should have been obtained.
Well, I said it, so what? He is my brother, I have to say it, I know he has been holding his breath, now he wants to explode, let everyone see how strong he is, he is still the number one active player, and he is still ruling the world Union, and still rule for many years. ”
At 10:00 in the morning, someone suddenly discovered that the league’s official MVP rankings had changed. Among the top ten, there was an additional name that was not there before.
Wang Tiejun, the direct airborne MVP ranked second, second only to Kevin Garnett.
Moreover, in the promotional materials of the All-Stars, the old K reappeared and became the front face. All the promotional photos were in the C position. The official website added a lot of old K’s game shots.
With only 7 games, he reached the second position, and this change in the official publicity immediately shocked the entire league and all the media, because it means that the league is likely to stop suppressing Old K.
Indeed, since Jordan talked with David Stern, the latter has been thinking about related issues, and then Lao Wang’s violent and extreme performance in a round even stimulated the somewhat sluggish popularity in the NBA, allowing Stern to finally decide Come down, the alliance will re-identify Lao Wang as the face of the alliance, and will resume official promotion of him.
Another reason for him to do this is that the four major shooting guards did not satisfy him, especially Kobe, who was very promising to become the face of the league, disappointed him very much.
Compared with old K, Kobe Bryant’s problem is smaller, except for violence, there is no other place to blame, but Kobe’s problem is bigger.
He compared the four major shooting guards with the old K. Even the strongest Kobe is just a weakened version of Jordan. Whether it is popularity, strength, or status in the league, he is not on the same level as the old K.
Not to mention the other three, Iverson is rebellious and has no achievements or honors, Carter can only dunk, McGrady’s injury problems have begun to appear, and the three together have no championships or hard honors. , but getting older.
As for LeBron James, who he is optimistic about, at present, the gap with the old K is still a bit big. He has planned that the old K will play for a few more years, and James can use this time to grow and become the face of the next league. .
Wang Tiejun was also a little surprised that he suddenly reached the second place in the MVP ranking list.
Since his comeback in 2002, until today, the official propaganda of the league has not been his part. The promotion is the four major shooting guards. Will the league really change?
But he didn’t care too much, since the alliance started to suppress him, he decided to conquer everything with strength and be a real conqueror.
If the alliance resumes its promotion of him, it will be just icing on the cake. It is only for the alliance’s own benefit, not for him, and he does not need to thank the alliance.
At 11:00 in the morning, Garnett accepted a TV interview with ESPN at the door of his house. He was a little depressed about the old K’s ascension to the second place in the MVP rankings.
The reason is that after playing for so many years, this is the first time he has the opportunity to win the honor of MVP, but the old K directly airborne the second place, which made him feel a huge sense of crisis.
“Kevin, do you have anything to say about Old K’s direct ascension to the second place in the MVP ranking?” The reporter asked.
Depressed, Garnett said a little unhappily: “He only played seven games, and it happened that he played a bright performance in these seven games, and we played more than 50 games, and the state fluctuated, so this is a bit uncomfortable. To be fair, I think the league should remove players with too few games from participating in the MVP selection.”
Garnett’s interview immediately boarded ESPN’s midday sports news program, triggering massive comments.
“Kevin Garnett complaining about old K? Haha, that’s a good topic.”
At this time, Buckley was leading an interview team to Lao Wang’s house. He came here specially for a live TV interview, and got news from the station on the way.
“Old K, what do you think of yourself being ranked second in the MVP ranking?” Not long after, Lao Wang accepted an interview with Barkley at home.
Unfortunately, before Barkley came, he had just watched ESPN’s noon sports news and said after hearing the question: “I’m very happy, but in fact the future belongs to young people. They are the sun at one or two o’clock in the morning. They are the future, and the league should support young guys like Kevin Garnett more, and old guys like me are the past.”
“Old K, Garnett is only three years younger than you. He is only three months away from turning 28. In a year or two, he might fall to the top.” Barkley reminded with a smile.
“Really? 28 years old, I didn’t expect him to be so old?” Old Wang said in surprise.
“Puff!”
Barkley and his interview team were all laughing.
“But he is still a young man in front of me. He ranks first in MVP. His performance is too strong. When I was 28 years old, I probably didn’t have any achievements, so I couldn’t compare with him at all.” Lao Wang continued.
“Ha ha…”
Barkley and others laughed straight away, and reminded after a while: “Old K, you retired due to injury at the age of 28, and you really can’t compare with him.
But before that, lol… Just for the hard honor of MVP, you’ve done it five years in a row, which is something no one has ever done. ”
“Are you kidding, Charles, am I that good? I have won the MVP? Five times in a row? My God, I am simply too strong!” Old Wang looked shocked.
“Haha…” There was laughter in the living room.
“Next time you meet the Timberwolves, what are you going to do?” A minute later, Barkley asked with a smile.
“What else can I do, Garnett is a good young man, he is a red flower, I am willing to be a green leaf by his side, how about I score 80 points, he breaks a record, blast Chamberlain’s 100-point record? “Old Wang said with a grin.
“Ha ha…”
Under Barkley’s guidance, the living room burst into laughter.
This is a live broadcast, and countless people across the United States have seen it. Garnett happened to see it too. His black face suddenly turned pale, and he felt a little bleeding.
