NBA Backer King Chapter 136

   Chapter 136 The Lion Beats the Rabbit

"boom!"

  The Bulls played a fast break on a defensive counterattack. Jordan took off half a step from the free throw line and dunked with a gliding tomahawk that walked in the air, turning the entire United Center into a boiling volcano.

  Pharaoh struggled to cross the center line for two steps, and it was all over.

   However, the veteran Carter White was still behind him, and the Bulls faced the Suns, and they did not play more and less at the cost.

   "Rookie, are you not involved in defense? You have the privilege of not defending in the Suns?"

  Jordan returned to the defensive end, stood on the right-wing three-point line, and shouted at the low-post Pharaoh.

   "The privilege is your grandfather! Just throw it out, dare to rush in today and see what I do with you!"

   Old Wang glared at Jordan, wishing he could rush over to kill this trash-talking thing.

  This time, he still wants to go in.

   The two insiders, the Bulls, couldn't hold him at all. The skinny one who broke his ball just now flew away as soon as he hit it.

  Boom, Kevin Johnson took the ball to the top of the arc and made a gesture to open the tactic.

  Barkley pulled from the basket to the right wing and the basket was empty.

   At this time, the left wing was low, and Cartwright was entangling Wang Tiejun like glue.

   "Boom!"

   Seeing that the basket was empty, Pharaoh suddenly leaned in with force, knocked loose the opponent's entanglement, and then immediately bypassed the opponent and threw himself to the basket.

   Cartwright quickly turned around and chased in, but he was already half a step behind.

  The ball at the top of the arc was hoisted in, and Grant, who had just been pulled out on the right wing, had already thrown back.

   But the cooperation was better this time, Grant had no chance to steal the ball, but when Wang Tiejun rushed to the basket to receive the ball, Grant had already jumped in front of him, and Cartwright behind him also followed, forming a siege to him.

   "Go away!"

He immediately closed the ball, stood still, used his left foot as a support foot, stepped back with his right foot, and leaned back with force at the same time, with a bang, his back slammed into the chest of Cartwright who was following him. above.

"Uh!"

   Cartwright is too old, and his legs and knees are injured, how can he bear the support of Pharaoh? Just fell to the ground.

   "Boom!"

   In the next instant, Pharaoh moved his right foot again, and when he stepped forward, another ferocious iron mountain hit him, and Grant, who was less than 100 kilograms, turned over in response.

  Under the ferocious streak, he completely wiped out the Bulls' defensive power at the basket. Looking around, he happened to see Jordan's shocking expression on the right wing. The next moment, the giant beast erupted.

"boom!"

   In the dead United Center arena, Wang Tiejun dunked with a ferocious hand to completely freeze the hot first home of the league.

   "This is the restricted area sweeper?"

   The on-site commentator took a deep breath. After reacting, he shouted loudly: "Why didn't you blow the whistle? He must have fouled. He knocked down both of us. It is impossible that there was no foul action..."

   "Shhh!"

  The fans also reacted, and the huge boos swept through every corner and everyone's heart like a tsunami.

   At this time, the hanging screen is also playing back the picture just now.

   "No walking, no elbows, no shoulders, how could it be possible?" The on-site commentator and the home fans couldn't accept it.

   They didn't see Wang Tiejun's fouls, but saw Grant and Cartwright's fouls. When the two rushed to double-team, they both took advantage of the situation and made an elbow, which made them very embarrassed.

   On the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton laughed: "In this offense, Old K strongly demonstrated the ability of the restricted area sweeper to play. The Bulls' two big insiders are too old and too light."

   "He must have a unique power-generating technique in his recoil," said John Hanks.

"Yes, he doesn't need a lot of room for power. Without fouling, he can burst out with a lot of power. This is his signature power-strength technique, which can make up for the weakness of lack of explosive power." Bill Walton said.

   "No. 23, some kind of rush in and slap me!"

   On the court, when Pharaoh returned to defense, he sprayed at Jordan.

   "Damn!"

   Jordan's eyelids jumped, and he swore that this **** rookie had bad intentions for him, and if he rushed in, he would definitely give him a malicious foul.

   "Sister Pi, you are the same." Old Wang turned his head and sprayed at Pippen again.

"you?"

  Pippen was almost fainted by the phrase "Pippen third", I'm so obviously Pippen second, why did you downgrade me by one level?

  The Bulls attacked, Pippen and Jordan were on the left and right flanks.

  Pippen took on Ceballos, used a back run fairly easily, got rid of his opponent, and cut into the paint while receiving the ball from BJ Armstrong.

   At this time, on the weak side, Jordan got rid of Dan Marley and was quickly cutting inside from the right elbow to the basket.

  Pippen attracted Pharaoh's defensive attention, hit the ground and passed the ball. The ball entered the paint from Pharaoh's side and was taken by Jordan who cut in.

  Pharaoh looked back and saw that Jordan, who was taking off, was flying towards the basket.

"boom!"

   A one-handed dunk set the United Center on fire.

   "Privilege, your eye defense is great!" Jordan turned around and threw a trash talk.

   "Privileged Nima!" Old Wang cursed.

   Indignant, he entered the paint from the free throw line, took a step down with Cartwright on his back, then turned around and jammed the opponent and began to ask for the ball.

   "Bounce!"

   On the sidelines, Phil Jackson immediately shouted.

  The other Bulls hurriedly shrunk to the basket, as long as the ball dared to pass in, it would definitely form a situation of one more sandwich.

   For this ball, the Bulls would rather let the rest of the Suns go than let Old K play.

  Kevin Johnson gritted his teeth, if the brother wants to return one, then pass it on.

  As soon as the ball flew towards Pharaoh, the bull's double-team attack immediately started, and several people rushed in at the same time.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh's left elbow confronted Cartwright behind him and his right hand grabbed the ball, when Grant and Jordan came from the left and Pippen came from the right.

   At the next moment, he slammed the ball with both hands, his left foot stepped back, inserted between Cartwright's legs, and then suddenly pushed back with force.

   "Boom!"

   Cartwright was really old, he couldn't hold it, and fell directly to the ground.

   "Crack! Crack!"

  Jordan and Pippen's two big hands hit Pharaoh's hand and the ball at the same time, but he slammed the ball to death and was not knocked out.

   The next moment, Pharaoh used his left foot as the axis, and turned around suddenly to exert force.

  The Jordan and Pippen wrapped around him were driven by the giant force, staggered, and fell to the floor at the same time.

   And Pharaoh, turned around and succeeded.

"Snapped!"

   He had just faced the basket when Grant slapped his ball-handling hands fiercely.

   "Go away!"

   roared angrily and leaned back with force, and Grant, who was 98 kilograms, fell down.

  Wang Tiejun glanced coldly at Jordan and the other four at his feet, and then stood up.

   Five players, only BJ Armstrong at the top of the arc was still standing, all the people who went in to double-team fell, and the United Center was completely silent.

"boom!"

   With a violent smashing of the basket, all the home fans couldn't help shivering, and their eyes instantly focused on the man on their own basket.

   "What a horrible restricted area sweeper." This is the only thought that everyone has.

"yeah!"

  Buckley and others rushed over excitedly.

   "Ahhhh..."

  The Suns bench was already boiling, and the waving white towel was flying like a victory flag.

On the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton roared excitedly: "Oh hoho, this is the penalty area sweeper! He completely swept the bull's penalty area by himself, making his bull's penalty area a no-man's land, no one standing. area, where he is alone.

The appearance of   Old K symbolizes the emergence of a new type of big center, a giant center, that is completely different from the three super centers in the league. Oh, he's so powerful! "

   "Hoohooho..."

   fell to the ground, Wang Tiejun, panting violently, stood under the basket, looked down at the four Bulls players under his feet, and gasped, "That's it, have you really won two championships?"

"you?"

   Jordan rolled over and got up in anger.

   At this time, Barkley and others rushed up, pushed aside Jordan and others, and celebrated with Pharaoh.

   "Old guy, find a way to send me down, this is the only way you can beat us. You've already done that, and you can continue to do that, it's your ability."

  Pharaoh continued to spray at Jordan across Barkley.

   "Bastard, did I punish you for going down?" Jordan growled angrily.

  The Bulls attacked and called a timeout.

  Sit back on the bench, Jordan's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

  Phil Jackson and general manager Jerry Krause were shocked by this offense and defense.

   In this four-in-one defense, all four defenders were knocked down, and this one shot completely exposed the weakness of the Bulls' inside line.

   "Carterwhite is too old, Grant is good, but the tonnage is too light." Phil Jackson secretly said.

"O'Neal and Old K will re-change the league's understanding of traditional big centers. Strength and tonnage will give all teams a headache. The light inside line will suffer too much in front of these two monsters. The offense can still be pulled out to shoot, and the defense will collapse at a touch. Defend?"

  Jerry Krause thought more. He now realized that the inside combination of Cartwright and Grant might be able to barely cope with the three super centers, but in front of these two monsters with huge destructive power, they were too fragile.

The Bulls and all other teams will face a more difficult situation, because everyone will have to face two completely different types of big centers at the same time, one is the three super centers based on technology and agility, speed, and jumpers. , One is the two giant beasts dominated by strength and tonnage.

   In this way, the configuration requirements for internal cables are also completely different.

   Not only requires the speed and agility of the three super centers, but also the strength and tonnage of the two giant beasts.

  He got a headache when he thought about it.

   The only possibility to solve this problem is that the three super centers and the two giants do not belong to the same era.

   That is to say, when the two giant beasts grow up, the three super centers may be old. At that time, they only need to deal with one, and then they can find two meat shields that can be carried.

   "To lock their perimeter offense, we have to strengthen breakthroughs and mid-range shots, and use the weakness of old K's weak defense ability to hit him..."

   At this time, Phil Jackson was arranging tactics.

   The timeout ends and the game resumes.

   "Sigh!"

   Jordan made a breakthrough with the ball, but it was a fake and real shot, and he hit a mid-range shot.

  Dan Marley was directly knocked down, very embarrassed.

   His level is still too far from Jordan. As a white man, his physical quality is far inferior to Jordan, and his scoring ability is even worse than that of Jordan. The same is true for defense.

   In the next few rounds, Wang Tiejun didn't show much performance. He grabbed two backcourt rebounds and sent a big shot. He didn't attack.

   In the 5th minute of the first quarter, at 14:12, the Suns took the lead.

  The sun attacked, and Pharaoh squeezed to the basket again.

"Snapped!"

   As he was catching the ball with one hand, Grant came from the side, hit him **** the arm, knocked the ball off, and the whistle went off.

   On ABC TV's live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "This is probably the only thing the Bulls can do inside, let Old K go to the free throw line."

   "Old K's free throw technique is not very good, his current free throw percentage is..."

  John Hanks immediately began to look for information, and after finding it, he said excitedly: "59%, with Old K's basket shooting rate, the Bulls can make a profit."

Bill Walton glanced at his partner disdainfully, thinking that he would change to a new partner sooner or later, then he took the data sheet, looked at it and analyzed: "The 59% free throw percentage is really low, Similar to O'Neal in the Magic.

   But you can see that Old K's free throw rate in the last ten games has increased to 63%. This hit rate is still a bit low, but this hit rate has made foul tactics meaningless.

   Maybe you can fight at a critical moment, but there is no greater tactical effect, it is a meaningless foul, and it is not worthwhile. "

  John Hanks was stunned and could only nod his head in disappointment.

   seems to support Bill Walton's statement, and then Pharaoh made two free throws to help the team lead the Bulls.

   Two possessions later, he went to the basket again.

   Cartwright lost his defense and went straight ahead. He immediately pushed outwards to signal the lob.

  The ball went in, and Grant, Pippen, and Jordan jumped in at the same time.

   Cartwright desperately rammed Old Wang, Wang Tiejun suddenly released the former's left elbow and leaned out, the former groaned and collapsed.

   When the ball arrived, he immediately jumped into the air and grabbed the hanging basketball with both hands.

   Kevin Johnson's ball was very good, and he didn't need to adjust it. The moment he grabbed the ball, he slammed it directly to the basket.

"boom!"

   When the three Jordans threw themselves to the basket, a strong explosion sounded right above their heads, and it was too late.

   "You can't go around the front. Old K's strength is too great, and Cartwright can't bear it at all. He was pushed away from the basket and must be defended. The Bulls need a large center."

  John Hanks shouted from the ABC live booth.

"No, Cartwright is the heaviest, 111kg, his first substitute, Will Perdeau, 110kg. But Perdue is only 27 years old, 9 years younger, he can play Perdeau, he is more powerful and vitality." Bill Wharton said.

   "Perdo?"

  John Hanks glanced at the information and said: "The Bulls selected No. 11 in the first round in 1988, averaging 4.8 points and 5 rebounds in 16 minutes per game, role player."

Speaking of which, he sighed: "The Suns are really lucky. The Bulls used a first-round pick No. 11 to select a role player center, and they stayed in the team like a baby and were reluctant to trade. Mr. Colangelo But I just picked up a giant beast on the street."

  Bill Wharton laughed a few times and said, "So I quite admire Colangelo and Mr. Claus for their vision."

  John Hanks was startled, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Claus wanted to sign Old K with a big contract."

   At this time, Jordan caused a foul by Dan Marley and wanted a free throw.

   The first free throw was made, at 22:20 in the eighth minute of the first quarter, the Bulls were still two points behind.

  Phil Jackson replaced veteran Cartwright and replaced Viperdo.

  The Suns also made substitutions, Wang Tiejun went down to rest, and Barkley continued to play.

   He didn't make many shots in the first quarter, but all of them were attacking the basket. He made 3 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 foul.

   After the first quarter, at 30:30, the Bulls equalized the score.

   Jordan was on fire in the first quarter, making 5 of 9 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 15 points. The scoring ratio was 50% of the team.

   In the second festival, Wang Tiejun played from the very beginning.

  Barkley rested off the court, and he was the main force in the low post attack.

   The first goal was the Bulls' offense. Grant threw off Jarrod Mustav and cut inside the basket. He couldn't get back to the defense and made a layup.

   "Old K, be careful, this guy is very good at off the ball and very good at cutting inside." Dan Marley ran over and warned.

   "Understood." He nodded.

   He glanced at Grant, a light power forward. He is the most troublesome insider. Fortunately, he is not used for the main defense.

  Sun attack.

  Wang Tiejun and Perdo confrontation.

  Suns backup point guard Knight made a tactical gesture. After seeing it in the low position on the left wing, he immediately turned and slipped, and Perdo immediately turned to chase.

   But at this time he suddenly retracted and opened the distance from the opponent. At this time, the ball was passed and he received it.

  Perdo hurriedly rushed forward. At this time, he started to take a bear step, his center of gravity sank, his left foot stepped inward, and the moment his right heel hit the ground, his feet slammed down, and the six forces became one.

   The short and rapid bear step is not based on speed. The advantage is this short-distance burst, which is especially conducive to grabbing positions in basketball.

   Whoever takes the first place will be able to take the lead, and whoever has the advantage.

   "Boom!"

   Unprepared, Perdo collapsed.

   At this time, Grant had already returned to the basket and formed a help defense against the basket.

   But Old K didn't hit a hook, but took off and jumped directly, jumped directly from Perdo's body, and faced Grant with a brutal one-handed dunk.

   "The lion beats the rabbit!"

   In the ABC live broadcast booth, Bill Walton suddenly shouted loudly.

"boom!"

   With the explosive smashing of the basket, Grant, who took off and blocked the shot, was knocked over without any resistance.

   It was another offensive round that overturned the Bulls' two inside lines, and the crazy United Center Arena has habitually fallen into silence.

  “Whoa…”

   Grant climbed up with difficulty. With his thin physique and a tonnage difference of more than 20 kilograms, he was hit by Wang Tiejun, even if it was only once, it was enough for him. He was lucky if he was not injured.

The referee blew the whistle and blew Grant a thugs foul.
