NBA Backer King Chapter 156

   Chapter 156 Advance to the Western Conference Finals

   At this time, Kevin Johnson broke through with the ball and entered the paint area. After attracting Robinson and Antoine Kyle's back defense, he immediately scored the ball to Barkley.

"boom!"

  Unfortunately, Barkley missed a mid-range shot, and David Robinson grabbed a backcourt rebound.

  Wang Tiejun was also near the landing spot, but unfortunately the speed of the bullet was not as fast as others, and it was a lot worse. When he jumped up, the ball had already been snatched away.

   "Oh, this ball should be given to the Iron Army! In terms of close-range offense, Barkley's jump shot is not as high as his hook shot!"

   In the auditorium, Zhang Lili patted his thigh and sighed.

   Spurs offense.

  David Robinson is very aggressive, constantly moving to get rid of his opponent.

   This time, Wang Tiejun has an extra mind, guarding against the inside but not the outside.

  When Robinson moves to the paint, he keeps a little tighter. When the opponent runs out, he would rather let the opponent catch the ball outside and leave a little distance to prevent the opponent from being recut again after following up.

   At this time, Avery Johnson's ball came down to the low post on the left wing. Robinson received the ball outside the paint area and immediately completed the face-to-basket before Wang Tiejun pounced.

   "Squeak!"

  Pharaoh braked with his feet, his legs and arms stretched out one meter away.

  Robinson can only choose a jumper. If he goes around, he can't take one step, he has to take two steps, and he will be completely stuck.

   His shot in the confrontation with the old K was very low, and he didn't want to play like that.

   Seeing the opponent take off and shoot, Lao Wang quickly stepped up to take off and block, but it was half a beat slower, the bullet speed was also a bit worse than the boss, and the blocking height was not enough.

"boom!"

   However, the ball failed to hit, smashed into the basket and rebounded, and was caught by Comrade Pharaoh.

  The Suns wanted to play a fast break, but Wang Tiejun was entangled by Robinson and the ball failed to pass out in time, turning into a positional battle.

   Kevin Johnson pushed the ball into the frontcourt, made a pull gesture, and gave the ball to Danny Ainge on the left wing beyond the arc.

   Sean Elliott could only step forward and dare not move down.

   Danny Ainge dribbled the ball away from the defender and passed the ball to Wang Tiejun below.

   At this time, the weak side, that is, the right wing, has Barkley and Dan Marley, the top of the arc is Kevin Johnson, and the strong left wing is Wang Tiejun and Danny Ainge.

   This is a rule limited to the anti-isolation singles rule, the attacking side must keep at least two people on the strong side.

   But now he has pulled it far enough, Danny Ainge put Sean Elliott to the three-point line, and wants to come down to help defend, there is a distance of three or four meters in the middle, plus turning around to start, it takes at least two seconds.

   And the weak side assist defense also takes time.

  Wang Tiejun caught the ball and started to play directly.

   "Boom!"

   The left elbow used brute force to push Robinson, who was wrapped around him, slightly away, and then leaned against him in an instant. The latter groaned, and the front foot released, took a small step back, and turned to the back foot.

   At this moment, just after knocking back Robinson, his bear step went in, and while his feet were in the paint area, the second iron mountain hit one after another.

   "Boom!"

  After having more room to exert force, this iron mountain hit with more force, causing Robinson to take a big step back again.

   In the next moment, he was so excited that he turned around and jumped up, pressing Robinson, who was unsteady, and flew up.

   "Bastard, want to detain me again?"

  David Robinson's eyes were split, and he grabbed Old K with both hands, pulling him down and throwing him to death.

   "Boom!"

   But the next moment, when he grabbed Old K before he exerted any force, Old K slammed into him. Under the huge force, he was knocked down head-on, hitting the floor and slipping.

   "Di!" The referee blew his whistle.

"boom!"

   With the violent smashing of the basket, the basket instantly sank two feet downward.

"yeah!"

The Westside Arena exploded in an instant. Countless fans stood up from their seats and shouted wildly. The adrenaline spurted their emotions directly to the top. The buzzing noise made everyone's ears become decorations. .

   "Separate! Frontal! Crazy restricted area sweeper, Old K, frontalised Admiral David Robinson, who treats super center like nothing!"

   "Yo hoo hoo hoo, old K knocked over the super center Robinson and dunked him frontally! The penalty area sweeper performed the craziest, most gorgeous and brutal performance on his opponent."

  The two on-site commentators roared wildly. Through the sound, their voices resounded over the entire stadium, which even brought the home court atmosphere to the top.

   "Hoohooho..."

  Wang Tiejun stood under the basket, gasping for breath.

   At his feet, is David Robinson, around him, teammates rushing to celebrate, behind him, a large number of media reporters are frantically pressing the shutter at him.

   "Hoohooho..."

  Wang Tiejun stood under the basket, gasping for breath.

   At his feet, is David Robinson, around him, teammates rushing to celebrate, behind him, a large number of media reporters are frantically pressing the shutter at him.

   "Crazy old K! Violent old K! He really deserves to be a restricted area sweeper..."

   On the ESPN live broadcast table, Winston Rollins shook his head and praised: "A super center is not in his eyes at all, he is destroying David Robinson with violence."

   Carter Oldman also praised: "The most powerful frontal dunk, I think old K obtained a formal contract from Mr. Colangelo through a similar attack."

  Rollin said with a smile: "Yes, the heavy dunk after knocking O'Neal over not only won him a big contract with the Suns, but also won the favor of the general manager of the Bulls Jerry Krause."

   "Think about it, if Old K had chosen the Bull?" Oldman said.

   "Then now the Suns will cry and the Bulls will laugh." Rollin laughed.

   Oldman said at this time: "If the old K strengthens his defense again, then his strength will reach the level of a first-class center. There should be no doubt."

  Rollin thought for a while and said, "Yes, now Old K's defense really drags down his overall strength. When he can get 20 points, his opponent can get more points on his head."

   "Sigh!"

  Wang Tiejun made 2 of 2 free throws, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 5 points in the opening game.

   "Old K played too aggressively. Now David Robinson starts with two fouls, and the Spurs are in great trouble, but the Spurs did not replace him." Winston Rollins said.

   "Yes, the Spurs have nowhere to go. With Robinson replaced, Old K and Barkley will blow the Spurs' penalty area into slag," Oldman said.

   "The Suns let Danny Ainge stay on top of K. It's really a coup. This can save K from being double-teamed from above." Rollin laughed.

   "It's the same with Daniel Marley. The effect will be better. He can shoot, shoot and cut. He is more suitable for the low-post singles of old K than Ceballos and Danny Ainge." Oldman laughed.

  The Spurs attacked at this time, and Robinson went down after a high pick-and-roll.

  Wang Tiejun switched defenses. At this time, Avery Johnson quickly pulled to the left flank and passed back to Robinson, who rushed forward and wanted to block him from the front.

"Humph!"

   snorted, he hurriedly dodged to the side and ducked.

"boom!"

   One-arm dunk, Robinson scored the second goal.

   "Haha, old K dodges, he can't defend this ball, when he turned around, Robinson had already jumped up, his speed was too slow, there was only one result if he didn't dodge, and that was being dunked from the front."

   In the ESPN live booth, Winston Rollin laughed.

   "His static talent is on the same level as O'Neal. His ability to play in the low post is unique and powerful, but his dynamic talent is the ceiling of the old K, which seriously limits his future development." Oldman shook his head regretfully.

   "Yes. But no matter what, I think he will also become a real first-class center, which is to be expected."

  Rollin nodded in agreement.

   "Last time you said he was a potential first-class center." Oldman laughed.

   "Now I've changed my mind." Rollin laughed.

   Next, the two sides will continue to attack and attack.

   The Spurs are eager to take this game and are on fire.

   But today, Barkley and Wang Tiejun are both in good condition. Together with Dan Marley, the three teamed up to stabilize the Spurs' firepower.

Kevin Johnson took fewer shots today. His main function is to organize offense. He has performed very well in the previous few consecutive games. This game was not very exciting. He didn't attack with the ball very much. .

   And Danny Anji's main task is not to attack, but to open up the defender for Wang Tiejun, and only shoot when there is an opportunity.

   After the first quarter, at 26:34, the Suns led by 8 points.

  Barkley played 11 minutes, made 4 of 5 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 12 points and 3 rebounds, and blasted Antoine Kyle into scum.

  Wang Tiejun played 9 minutes, made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 8 points and 2 rebounds.

  Dan Marley played 10 minutes, made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and also scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

   The three teamed up to contribute 28 points. Most of the offenses were shot at the basket, and the efficiency was very high. This is because Robinson, the second offender, was very passive on the defensive end and did not dare to reach out.

  Robinson played the whole quarter, with all his strength, he made 6 of 10 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points and 2 rebounds.

   In the second quarter, the two teams were half main and half substitute. Only David Robinson played the full quarter without rest for a second.

   After halftime, at 50:55, the Suns were still 5 points ahead.

The Suns' bench lineup is not good. The main team played more in the second quarter. Barkley only rested for 3 minutes in the first half, Danny Anji played 8 minutes in the first quarter, and played another 8 minutes in the second quarter. Wang Tiejun also played 10 minutes in the second quarter. minutes, and the same goes for the other main players.

   However, Ceballos played well and had a lot of shots. He made 4 of 7 shots in a single quarter and scored 8 points with a buckle.

   By the third quarter, veteran Danny Ainge sat on the bench to prepare for the final quarter.

   In this quarter, the thickness of the Spurs' lineup played a role. As the Suns' main team's physical fitness declined, their state also declined, and the score gradually caught up. After three quarters, 76:77, the Suns only led by one point.

  Robinson played three full quarters today, and he also played with high efficiency. He made 13 of 22 shots, with a hit rate of nearly 60%, and 2 of 5 free throws. He has scored 28 points.

   However, the Spurs also have a big hidden danger, because he took one foul each in the second and third quarters, and now has four fouls.

   "Old K, it's up to you."

   When he played in the last quarter, Barkley, who had scored 25 points in the first three quarters, said.

"pass it to me."

  Wang Tiejun nodded. In the second and third quarters, he was in a state of fishing. He only scored 4 points in the two quarters, which is to reserve physical energy for the last quarter. It is time to make a wave.

   With him on the court, and Danny Ainge, the task is to open up the defense for him, so that he can have more space for the post.

   The first goal, the Sun's first attack, Wang Tiejun squeezed directly to the basket this time.

   The coaching staff just said that Robinson has already committed four fouls, so let him strengthen his confrontation and play a dozen more baskets.

  Robinson took a round and put him directly into the basket, intending to block the passing and receiving line.

   "Get me out!"

  He pushed Robinson out to the basket.

  Under Avery Johnson's strict defense, Kevin Johnson stepped back and passed the ball and hoisted the ball in.

  Robinson saw the height of the ball and knew that he couldn't break the ball. He turned around immediately, trying to entangle Old K.

   But he didn't dare to move too much, for fear that the whistle would sound.

   And Robinson's scruples gave Wang Tiejun the best chance.

   He didn't even need to rely on Tieshan. He jumped with his right elbow against the former, and caught the ball with both hands in the air. Kevin Johnson's pass was very good, and he didn't need to adjust at all. The next moment, he slammed forward.

"boom!"

  Between the baskets trembling, the arena instantly boiled.

Looking back, Sean Elliott singled Danny Ainge and missed a ball. Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound. At this time, he saw that Kevin Johnson was going down hard, and he shouted and threw the ball. past.

   Kevin Johnson, who didn't attack much today, caught the ball and entered the frontcourt, rushed to the left-wing three-point line for two steps, suddenly made an emergency stop, and Avery Johnson, who was chasing, rushed forward.

   At this time, Dan Marley cut into the paint area from the right wing, the ball passed the ball, and the latter caught the ball and made a two-step layup and hit a ball.

  76:81, the Suns lead by 5 points.

   Looking back, Spurs point guard Dale Ellis broke through with the ball, but Barkley, who was defending, forced his speed to slow down greatly. Wang Tiejun came out of the basket to defend again. The former made a strong shot and was slapped.

  Barkley got the ball and the Suns attacked.

   still let Wang Tiejun play, he entered the basket again, stuck Robinson to ask for the ball, received the ball, the Spurs all contracted, but it was too late.

   forced a close-up hit, and after knocking out of the space for getting up, he turned and threw the ball in both hands.

"Snapped!"

  Robinson could only take off and block, but a slap hit him on the wrist.

"boom!"

  When the basket rang, the referee's whistle also rang.

"yeah!"

   After a lively roar, an on-site commentator shouted excitedly: "Old K beat Robinson under the basket and made Robinson's fifth foul at the same time. We are in sight of the Western Conference Finals!"

   "There is no way for the Spurs to double-team quickly unless they completely empty Danny Ainge or Barkley, but doing so would be just as bad." Another commentator laughed.

  76:83, the Sun played a 6-0 attack wave at the beginning of the final quarter, leading by 7 points,

   Spurs serve and call a timeout.

  The head coach John Lucart was sweating profusely, but he didn't have time to wipe it. To be honest, he was very flustered.

   In the case that David Robinson can't defend the old K alone, he can't come up with any good solutions.

   Double-teaming is not possible. After Sean Elliott was pulled by Danny Angel, the Spurs did not have the extra strength to double-team the basket. If they were forced to double-team, Old K could pass the ball, and the assist ability was not weak.

  Barkley can't be put there. In fact, it's Barkley who should be double-teamed. That's the first scoring point for the Suns.

   "Avery, it's up to you now, I want you to cut off Kevin Johnson and old K." In the end, he only had this one way.

"understood."

   Avery Johnson nodded calmly.

   "Offensive end, David, now is the time for you to stand up and blow up the old K. They didn't double-team you. I believe you can do it." John Lucart said to Robinson.

   "Of course I can." David Robinson said solemnly.

   The timeout ends and the Spurs attack.

  David Robinson first made a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Avery Johnson used the wall to break through, and the former went down.

   Kevin Johnson was thrown a lot, and Wang Tiejun could only choose to switch.

   When David Robinson saw it, he immediately stopped at the high free throw line, and Avery Johnson immediately returned the pass. The former caught the ball and shot a jumper on the head of Kevin Johnson who was on the switch.

"boom!"

  The ball hits the basket and hits two points.

After    succeeded, Robinson opened his mouth and gasped twice, then turned back to defend.

   "It can be seen that David Robinson's running speed has decreased a lot, and there should be a problem with his physical fitness."

   On the ESPN live booth, Winston Rollin said.

   "I've been on the main attack with all my strength, with as many as 23 shots in three quarters, and I have to fight against the old K on the defensive end. It's been good to stick to it now." Carter Oldman said.

  On the court, the Suns attack.

   Avery Johnson tried his best to defend Kevin Johnson, but the strength of the two sides was at least one gear, or even two gears apart. His efforts were not successful, and the ball was passed in and into the hands of Wang Tiejun, a low position on the left wing.

   The second and third quarters did not attack much. Comrade Pharaoh still had spare strength, and he relied on all his strength to fight. The ferocious force hit David Robinson at all.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   With two hits in a row, Robinson stumbled back.

   He played the first three quarters with all his strength, and his current physical condition is not as good as Wang Tiejun's. Under such a ferocious attack, he doesn't seem to have much strength to contend.

"boom!"

  Wang Tiejun turned around and violently, once again directly pressed Robinson and smashed the ball into the basket, who was knocked over to the basket again.

"Beautiful! Old K broke out at a critical moment, and his low-post back play has no one in this league who can defend him with one-on-one defense. As long as he is given a one-on-one chance, he can blow up anyone in this way, I It's anyone!"

   The roar of the current commentator resounded throughout the home arena.

  Wang Tiejun panted and glanced at David Robinson at his feet, raised his eyes to the excited and shouting fans, and waved to them.

"what!"

  The excited home fans immediately responded with more enthusiastic shouts.

   In the following time, in desperation of the Spurs, they could only choose to force a double-team, and let the person closest to the basket let go of his own and go to the double-team.

   Of course, John Lucas only chooses to double-team the basket, and Wang Tiejun can also get singles opportunities in the low post.

   In the 10th minute of the last quarter, at 92:100, the Suns were still ahead by 8 points, and the victory was in sight.

  Wang Tiejun made all the first three shots in the last quarter, one of the last three shots, 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 10 points in a single quarter.

   On David Robinson's side, his energy was exhausted and he couldn't hit the basket. He could only make jumpers outside, and his efficiency dropped drastically. He made 3 of 9 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points.

   In the last two minutes, Barkley stood up and succeeded in beating Antoine Kyle twice. He even shot with penalties and scored 5 points, laying the final victory.

   At the end of the game, with the whistle blowing, the game is over.

   "Four to one, I won!"

   "Western Finals, here we come!"

   The two live commentators roared excitedly.

   "Clap clap clap..."

   All the home fans stood up and gave warm applause.

  The Spurs were powerless, 95:106, lost the G5 game by 11 points, the total score was 1:4, was eliminated, and the Suns held their heads high and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

David Robinson scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 4 turnovers and 5 fouls in 48 minutes in 48 minutes. The data.

The opponent Wang Tiejun scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls in 39 minutes.

   In contrast, Robinson still managed to score, and he still couldn't defend against the opponent.

   But his offensive efficiency is high enough, which is also the reason why Robinson fouls too fast and his defensive intensity drops sharply in the final quarter.

  Barkley scored 32 points and won the best of the game. He was interviewed on the spot.

   "Charles, congratulations, you finally reached the final for the first time." The reporter said with a smile.

   "No, I entered the Eastern Conference Finals in my rookie season."

  Buckley corrected immediately. This is one of his few hard honors, and it cannot be erased by a word from the reporter.

   "But at that time you were just a rookie, and Moses Malone was the star." The reporter laughed.

   "Damn reporter!"

   Barkley slandered and insisted: "Anyway, this is the second time I've reached the finals, the first Western Conference finals."

   "Okay, okay, so what do you think of the next Western Conference finals?" the reporter asked.

"Mosaic and the Sonics are still playing, they will have the next game, or there will be a tiebreaker, which is good for us, we will have more time to rest, and we are full of hope for the Western Conference finals." Barkley road.
