NBA Backer King Chapter 137

  Chapter 137 Jordan, congratulations, on the throne

  Wang Tiejun made an extra free throw, and today's free throw feels good.

   Turning around, the Bulls bench back missed a shot, the Suns attacked, and he once again took the ball in the low post on the left wing.

   After getting the ball, instead of slipping, he suddenly dribbled up and turned to break through.

  Perdo hurriedly retreated when he saw it, but at this moment, there was a stagnation under his feet.

"not good!"

  Perdo hurriedly stopped when he saw this, and was about to pounce.

   But at this moment, he took a bear step under his feet, and was directly hit by an iron mountain. With a bang, under the collision, Perkin, who was in a moving state, fell again.

This is the system-integrated bear step, which is reliable and abrupt. The bear step with a low center of gravity allows him to switch between hitting and breaking moves at any time. There is no need to adjust his body. The state, although not moving very fast, is best suited to his athleticism right now.

   Grant, who went back to the basket to defend, didn't go up this time. He was hit a little psychologically, and he made an emergency stop and stopped on the right side of the basket.

"boom!"

   One-handed dunk, the Bulls basket was blown up again.

   "Old K also carried the Bulls today. All of them were offensive dunks at the basket. He hasn't made a shot yet. Even if he has a chance to shoot, he will choose to make a dunk." Bill Walton laughed.

   "He won't be able to play for a long time with his physical strength, and he is in the rookie wall." John Hanks said.

  Bill Wharton nodded, this is nothing to argue, because it is the truth.

   Then the Bulls took advantage of the dead ball to replace Jordan and Pippen, and the Bulls attacked.

  Pippen broke through with the ball on the left wing, Grant on the weak side quickly cut in, the former made a cross, and the latter cut to the basket to catch the ball and then stepped up and made a layup.

"Snapped!"

   This time, Wang Tiejun returned to the defense in time, and a big hat was given to Grant.

   "Sigh!"

  The ball jumped up and down, was caught by Jordan who came in behind him, made a close-range jumper, and hit a ball.

   Next, the Suns missed a shot, and the Bulls played a triangle offense, creating a single-play opportunity for Jordan and hitting another shot.

  35:36, the sun was 1 point behind, replaced by Barkley and Dan Marley, replaced Wang Tiejun.

   After the second quarter, at 52:50, the Suns led by two points.

  Wang Tiejun played 11 minutes, made 5 of 5 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks and 1 foul.

   Jordan played 21 minutes in the first half, made 9 of 15 shots, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 26 points and 5 rebounds in the half.

   A group of Sun players walked in the silent corridor, only gasping and footsteps.

   "Old K, you have to be careful. The second time Jordan shot 6 times, all of them were jumpers from outside, and there was no breakthrough. He was preparing for the second half."

   Buckley said suddenly.

  Wang Tiejun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "He wants to shoot 50+ on our heads again, and he can't make it happen."

However, he didn't make many shots in the first half, and his playing time was controlled. He only played for 11 minutes. Although all of them were dunks, his physical energy consumption was not very large. He could play more time in the second half, but he needed to add some close-range players. Shooting, otherwise the Bulls' defense will focus fire, it is also very troublesome, too exhausting.

   He felt a bit, and now his body is not very tired, and it is better than some time ago, indicating that his body is indeed breaking through the physical limit of the rookie wall, and everything is improving.

   On the other side, a group of Bulls players also walked in the dim corridor.

  Pippen laughed: "Michael, scored 26 points at halftime, and this 50+ is stable."

  Jordan had a sneer on his face and said, "I will do what I say. Every time I see that kid, I will hit 50+, and I will step on him for the rest of my life."

   After fifteen minutes, the second half begins.

   Both sides sent all the main force from the beginning.

   Only the Bulls' main center, Bill Cartwright, didn't play. He was too old, and he played the backup insider Sceta King.

   However, in the third quarter, the two sides did not play very fiercely.

   On the Suns side, Barkley made a strong effort and scored 15 points in a single quarter, leading the offensive.

   On the Bulls side, Jordan played off the ball and mainly made jumpers from the outside. He only shot twice and scored 10 points again. He scored 36 points in three quarters, only 14 points away from 50 points.

   At the end of the third quarter, at 83:80, the Suns led by 3 points.

  Wang Tiejun came off the court in the 6th minute. He only played half a quarter and did not attack the basket. He threw three balls, hit one, and made 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 3 points in the third quarter.

   Played 17 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.

   At the beginning of the distal quarter, he was sent to play against the Bulls' backup center Perdo.

  Sun attack, pull away.

   He asked for the ball from the top of the arc in the low post on the left wing, but suddenly turned around and slipped to the bottom and cut to the basket.

  Perdo didn't keep up, one step behind.

  Kevin Johnson went straight to the basket and was caught in the air.

"boom!"

   Alley dunks and the Suns lead by 5 points.

   Looking back, Jordan missed a shot, he protected the backcourt rebound, returned to the frontcourt, and immediately squeezed to the basket.

  Peldo couldn't stand it, so he could only play around the front, but he was pushed away from the basket again, and the basket was empty.

   When Kevin Johnson hung the basket again, Grant was double-teamed to the basket. When he caught the ball, he took a foul tactic, hugged him directly, and sent him to the free throw line.

   "Be careful with the Bulls, this is Grant's fourth foul." John Hanks reminded him in the ABC live booth.

   "Sigh!"

   First free throw.

   "Old K, today's free throw is good." Barkley said with a smile.

   "I bet he missed the free throw."

  Pharaoh was about to speak when Jordan's voice sounded behind him. He looked back at Jordan in the midline and shouted, "Old guy, you scored 100 points today for nothing, and you are sure to lose today!"

   Hearing the word loss, Jordan's eyes suddenly sharpened. He didn't like losing the most, let alone playing, he didn't want to lose even in games, he wanted to be a winner for life.

   In the second penalty, Pharaoh took the ball thrown by the referee, dribbled it seven or eight times in a row, and took aim for two seconds before making the shot.

   "Sigh!"

   Two free throws and another hit.

"Humph!"

  Jordan snorted coldly and quickly turned around and got off.

When rushing to the frontcourt, there was a sudden stop, got rid of Dan Malley, received a long pass from Grant, and when he smashed the ball to the basket, he suddenly made a pull-up jumper, on Dan Malley's head. Hit a ball.

   "38 points, only the last 12 points away from 50+."

   "87:82, we are 5 points behind."

  The two live commentators were excited and authentic.

  Sun attack.

  Seeing Wang Tiejun entering the basket again, Phil Jackson narrowed his eyes.

   Top defense, no one can withstand it.

Before    goes around, he will still be pushed away from the basket.

  Single defense, no one really can control this beast.

"boom!"

   With the loud explosion of the basket, Wang Tiejun completed a dunk before the double team arrived.

"How to do?"

   Phil Jackson muttered.

   Now we have to solve this problem. If we can't solve it, what will we do once we meet the Suns in the finals?

   On the defensive end, the old K is nothing to worry about, but on the offensive end, it is a little troublesome.

   If you let the old K play crazy at the basket, it will force him to use foul tactics in a wide range, which is likely to outweigh the gains.

   Even if they were double-teamed, they couldn't suppress this beast at all under that kind of brutal attack. In the first double-team, the two insiders were knocked down many times.

   "Next season, let Krause trade in for a meat shield."

   After thinking about it for a long time, he can't do anything about it. The weak center position is a hard injury, and the two big inside lines are weak, which cannot be compensated by tactics.

   Besides, he is not good at adjusting tactics on the spot at all, he is only good at adjusting the psychology of players.

   In the past half of the quarter, Wang Tiejun occupied most of the team's shots, with a total of 6 shots, more than the usual full quarter.

   5 out of 6 shots at the basket, 2 fouls, 3 dunks, 1 missed hook, 3 of 6 shots in the half quarter, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 9 points and 1 rebound in the half quarter.

   In the first half of the quarter, Barkley was mainly doing defensive work. He was better defensively. Wang Tiejun couldn't prevent breakthroughs from the outside, and Jordan was a master of breakthroughs, so he had to make up for the last defense.

   In order to block Jordan, he committed two fouls in half a quarter, and he already had 4 fouls.

When    paused, he came to Wang Tiejun and shouted, "Old K, your defense won't improve next season, don't think I'll do the dirty work for you."

   "Don't worry, I feel good today, I hit 7 of 9 free throws, brother, leave everything to me." Lao Wang patted Barkley's plump shoulder and smiled.

  Barkley's face is black, I'm talking about defense, defense, **** old K, have you completely blocked the word defense?

   But the score is still ahead of the sun, 97:90, the sun leads by 7 points.

  Jordan has scored 40 points, but Wang Tiejun's efficiency at the basket was too high, and he became impatient.

   Not only the outcome of this game, but more importantly, what about the finals?

   Now he and Pippen have indeed suppressed the Suns' outside line, but the inside line has been completely blown up by Old K and Barkley. If the efficiency of the inside line continues, there is a high probability of losing.

   He doesn't want to lose to anyone, let alone to Barkley's show of the same year, and he doesn't want to lose to the old K who slapped him.

"pass it to me."

  At the critical moment, he only believed in himself, so after the game restarted, as soon as he came on the field, he took over the ball.

   "Sigh!"

   Seven seconds later, he hit a pull-up jumper.

  Dan Marley panted and shook his head. He tried his best, but he really couldn't prevent it and was blasted into scum.

  The outside line was blasted, and the inside line came to make up.

  Barkley returned the color, made a layup and pulled back a goal.

  The Suns' two major insiders have an absolute advantage, and they started to exert their strength in the last quarter. In the first half, Wang Tiejun attacked, and in the second half it was Barkley's turn. This is the Suns' strategy tonight.

  The two sides have come and gone, and in the last minute, Jordan has scored 46 points, but no matter how efficient he is on the outside, more than 50%, it is not as efficient as Barkley and Wang Tiejun on the inside.

  In the end, Jordan scored 49 points and shot 56%, but he lost the score.

  114: 102, we lost a lot.

  Barkley scored 35 points and 16 rebounds in 41 minutes of consecutive shots and penalties, and scored 8 points in the second half of the distal quarter.

Wang Tiejun scored 27 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls. data.

   The two teamed up to score 60 points, and the hit rate exceeded 60%.

   won the game, and the advantage was not small. Barkley's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile. He glanced at Jordan, who had an extremely ugly face, and whispered to Wang Tiejun: "Kangchao, this old boy scored 49 points today."

   "Old bird, congratulations on your ascending to the throne of the King of Air Chopping." The old man immediately shouted at Jordan.

   "Damn boy!"

   Jordan was furious, glared at Pharaoh, turned his head and walked into the player tunnel.

"Ha ha…"

   Looking at Jordan's back, Barkley slumped with laughter.

   On the way, Jordan's face was terrifyingly gloomy. No one dared to speak to him, not even at all, not even the second child. There were only gasps and footsteps in the corridor.

   Back in the locker room, after a mess, everyone rested while listening to Phil Jackson summing up the game.

Phil Jackson pushed his glasses with his **** and said: "Today, our tactics on the perimeter were very successful, we blew up each other, both offense and defense, but the loss was our inside line, the inside line combination of Barkley and old K, indeed Gives a headache.

   They all need to be double-teamed, and our defensive energy inside is seriously lacking.

Fortunately, the old K's game experience is not enough. Barkley has just joined the Suns. Their head coach is also a rookie with limited ability. Therefore, the Suns have not yet built an offensive and defensive system, and the combat power has not been mixed together. , a lot of times they fight each other.

   In addition, we have not done enough for the old K's double-teaming tactics, we must make tactical arrangements for his ability to break double-teams. "

   said so, but he himself has no clue now.

   Then he said: "In the future, we will strengthen our breakthrough tactics, be sure to damage the old K and control his playing time.

   At the same time, to strengthen the control of the passer, we need to switch more defenses and maintain a greater focus on the game. "

   At this time, Jordan interrupted Jackson and said: "Phil, old K relies on his tonnage and strength to break the double team, and his kind of play, do you have any good ideas?"

   For this, he still feels shocked when he thinks about it now. The four of them double-teamed Old K, and they were all overturned, which was incredible.

  Phil Jackson said after sorting out his thoughts: "Tonnage and strength can be suppressed to a certain extent, but his current tonnage and strength have not reached an unsuppressable level.

It is said that he has gained weight, but it should be under 125 kg at present, and his explosiveness is not enough. Two people can actually restrain him. The reason why he can break the double team relies on the kind of hitting skills that make up for his strength. Weakness of lack of explosive power.

If we want to crack his counter attack, we do not have enough tonnage and strength inside to suppress him. Velperdo is more than ten kilograms worse than his tonnage, and his absolute strength is also a lot worse than him, so we can only use David Robinson to prevent old age. K's way. "

   "Come close?" Jordan's eyes lit up,

Nodding, Phil Jackson said: "Judging from the current old K's game, he is the most unsuitable for this kind of defense. Being clinging to him can affect his movement, affect his power and rhythm, and also Affect his shot, this is certain.

  I am going to try this kind of defense more in the team training. You have to be mentally prepared, because you have to use a lot of small movements to achieve the purpose of defense. "

   "Yes, coach."

   "Okay, coach."

   Several inside players nodded quickly.

In fact, they were a little nervous, because the old K was already known for his violence in the league, and he stunned the postman with another elbow, which made them even more notorious. Once they used the stalking defense, they made too many small and dirty actions, which angered the old K. That pair The ability to stun the elbow of the postman will be a great threat to them.

  Phil Jackson added: "In addition, our double-team speed against old K today is not enough, and it should be in place the moment he catches the ball, just like Grant broke his ball in the opening game.

His hands are very large. Once he catches the ball and after the ball is combined, his ability to protect the ball is super strong. He must strike hard and fast when he controls the ball with one hand. The chance of stealing the ball is very short, and the double team must be fast. .

   It happens that the Suns don't have three-pointers on the perimeter. In the case of them pulling apart, we can put it properly and shrink the defensive formation. "

Jordan and Pippen nodded at the same time. The four of them were knocked over. In fact, their double-team was very successful. They also hit the ball in the hands of old K at almost the same time, but they didn't knock it out, because at that time, old K had already The ball is slammed with both hands, and it can't be hit at all.

Phil Jackson added: "To add some mid-range shots outside the paint area, he can't make it up, this is where we can use it. If he makes up for it, we can directly dash in, or implement weak side cuts, It will be better.”

  The visiting team's locker room is also summed up after the game.

   Winning the Bulls, and with Jordan scoring 49 points, Paul Westphal was in a good mood, very good.

  If the Suns can reach the finals, then the most likely opponent is the Bulls, so the game just now is a very meaningful game.

   Moreover, Old K's playing time is still under control. Once fully released, he believes that the Suns will have an advantage.

   "Playing the Bulls, our advantage lies in the inside line, the fourth and fifth positions. If we meet the Bulls in the finals, we must strengthen the inside attack."

He said this, and said to Wang Tiejun: "Old K, since your style of play consumes too much physical energy, and the playoffs are more cruel, after a few series, your physical fitness will definitely have problems, so you play in the playoffs. Time also needs to be controlled.”

   "Got it, coach."

   There is no way to do this. He is this kind of extremely confrontational style of play, so he can only agree.

   Colangelo listened, and had some thoughts in his heart.

   As the former head coach of the Suns, he believes that although the current lineup is good, it is flawed. The outside long-range shooting ability is not enough, resulting in insufficient ability to open up and create better singles opportunities for the inside line. This may be a hidden danger.

   Now that the old K has grown up, and Barkley's inside combination is not the first in the league, it is also the top three in the league.

   In fact, if only the offensive ability is considered, he can be said to be the first in the league, and the third, that is, the old K's defense dragged down the overall level.

   Next, the regular season continues.
