NBA Backer King Chapter 164

   Chapter 164 Reaching the Finals

   At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

  Sun: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Danny Ainge, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

  Sonics: Sean Kemp, Sam Perkins, Derek McKay, Ricky Pierce, Payton

   At 8:15, the starters of the two teams appeared in the player tunnel.

  Wang Tiejun smiled at Camp Rainman and ran out of the passage.

  Rain felt a chill in his heart. He felt that Old K's smile was too hideous, and this **** guy had no good intentions towards him.

   Thinking of this, he felt more pain in his left chest.

   At half past eight, the game officially started.

  Rain Man swiped the ball away and attacked with supersonic speed.

  Wang Tiejun was guarding the edge of the restricted area, letting the Rain Man move outside.

  Rain Man's shooting distance is not too far, and his catch and shot speed is not fast. There is no problem with letting him take a step or two. He has time to make up for it. This is the experience after the three-game series.

   At this time, Ricky Pierce missed a mid-range jumper on the right flank, Wang Tiejun turned around to get a rebound, and the Suns attacked.

   He approached the basket. Rain Man couldn't carry it, and he didn't want to push hard. He was afraid that his chest would be smashed, so he took the approach.

   came to the basket, pushed the rain man out, and occupied the space under the basket to catch the ball. At this time, the ball was hoisted in.

"boom!"

   His right hand was against the rainman above. After taking off, his left hand grabbed the ball firmly with one hand. When he fell, he made a dunk.

"Old K's hands are really big, just like Jordan's, so he has a strong ability to protect the ball. He can do realistic fake moves just like Jordan when attacking. In the attack just now, he can also complete it independently with one hand. ” Bill Wharton said.

John Hanks nodded and said: "His body is too huge. Before entering the league, I heard that he had not undergone professional strength training for a long time, and that was the most critical strength training stage after his development, so coordination and explosiveness are not enough.

   If his hands are not big enough, the ball just now should not be able to complete the alley. With his big hands, he doesn't need to adjust his body posture in the air at all, and he smashes the ball hard after grasping the ball. "

  The Sonics attacked, and Ricky Pierce shot again, this time throwing a three-pointer on Danmar's head.

  2:3, the sun attacked.

  Barkley missed a jumper, Wang Tiejun and Yuren took off at the same time and competed for rebounds.

   He deliberately fought in the air, bouncing the Rain Man off, then grabbed the rebound.

   He did the same in the last game, but he was called for a foul once, but he didn't want to change the way he rebounded, which he learned from Rodman.

   "Boom!"

   grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket, and the moment he landed, he could have gotten up and dunked, but he didn't. Instead, an iron mountain came and knocked the Rain Man over before getting up.

"boom!"

   With the sound of the blasting basket, the high-pitched shouting in the SuperSonics' home arena instantly disappeared, leaving only the cheers from the Suns' bench.

In the ABC live booth, Bill Walton said: "Look, that's why the old K is the sweeper in the penalty area. He can get up and dunk directly, but he doesn't. He has to let the opponent lie down and then shoot. It's safer that way.

   This is very labor-intensive, but it is also beneficial. At least this way, Rain Man has no chance to block him, and there is no chance to play black hands behind him. "

   "This style of play is too brutal! Too brutal!" John Hanks shook his head and smiled.

   "That's why he is also called Caesar the Conqueror, and his opponent only has the fate of struggling under his feet." Bill Walton laughed.

  “Whoa…”

  Rain Man felt a little salty in his throat, and his chest became more painful.

   "Miscellaneous, do you know what you are in my eyes?" Wang Tiejun said coldly.

   "What is it?"

  Rain Man gasped and asked, he didn't even object to Wang Tiejun's address to him.

   "Iron stake."

  Wang Tiejun dropped these words and ran to the backcourt.

   "Iron stake?"

  Rain people don't know what it means.

   But Barkley next to him understood, the iron stake, isn't that what the old K's yard used to practice the iron mountain?

   As soon as he thought of this, he took a sympathetic look at Rain Man, you are finished, old K hit you like an iron stake, and sooner or later your bones will be broken.

   After a few rounds, Wang Tiejun took the ball in the low position on the left wing, and used his strength to beat the rain.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  Two savage iron mountains came under him, and the rain man, who was seriously insufficient in tonnage, fell at his feet again.

"boom!"

   The next moment, he strode into the basket, and faced the basket with a dunk. Perkins, who was defending the basket, did not dare to come over and stop him from attacking the basket.

  Rain Man was lying on the floor breathing with his mouth open. His chest was about to shatter, and there was a clear smell of blood between his breaths. This was his truest feeling.

   Fear spreads in his heart. He is not a firm-willed person, and he has no self-control. Once this emotion begins, it cannot be stopped.

   In the past few rounds, Wang Tiejun once again took the ball in the low post on the left wing. This time, the Supersonic small forward McKay came down to double-team.

   "Boom!"

   was brutally beaten, and Mackay, who had a tonnage of only 93 kilograms, collapsed.

   "Boom!"

In the next instant, after having more space to exert force, the power of the series of attacks broke out completely. The rain man was like a piece of wood, it was directly felled by the giant axe, and his back slammed heavily on the floor, and then the whole People slip and fall on the floor.

  Wang Tiejun is targeting Rain Man, and he is the most brutal when he hits him. He wants to kill Rain Man on the field.

"boom!"

Under the dunks, there was only the cheers from the visiting team's bench in the home arena. All the home fans focused on the brutal beast. The huge pressure was on their hearts, making them gasp for breath. .

"what!"

  Rain man lay on the floor struggling.

  The game continued. In the sixth minute of the third quarter, Wang Tiejun once again overturned the rain man. This was the seventh time tonight.

"Uh!"

   This time, Rain Man couldn't get up again. He clutched his left chest and moaned in pain on the floor.

   All the home fans have already regarded Wang Tiejun as a devil, and there is no sound, only the shrill cry of the Rain Man is left in the entire arena.

   The referee suspended the game and came over and asked, "No. 40, do you want a doctor?"

   "Hurry up and save me, my bones are broken, I'm going to die, hurry up and let me down!" Rain Man said tragically.

   The referee immediately waved to the Supersonics' bench. This action made George Karl on the sidelines startled, and the home fans at the scene exclaimed.

  Bill Wharton said in surprise: "Are you injured?"

"Today, Rain Man was targeted by Old K. With his tonnage, it was only a matter of time before he was injured. Old K was mad today, and Rain Man's ribs might have been broken." John Hanks said with a wry smile. .

   "His tonnage is too small in front of the old K. With the strength of the old K, it is very likely that the ribs will be broken." Bill Walton said.

At this time, the Supersonics had completed the substitution, the Rain Man was carried off, the team doctor was doing the examination, and it was over soon, and said to George Karl with a shocked face: "Coach Karl, he has at least three ribs by the old K that Crazy broke."

"what?"

  George Karl was stunned, and the entire Supersonic bench was stunned, and everyone was cold.

   "Yes yes yes, I'm dying, you know? Don't force me to play, he will kill me. If I play again, he will kill me today."

   Rainman, who was lying on a stretcher, said in a trance.

"Ugh!"

  George Karl let out a long sigh. At this moment, he really wanted to kill Old K, but he was extremely disappointed with Rain Man.

   He knows very well that tonight's game will leave a deep memory in the hearts of the rain.

  Historic talent, but he has no self-control, weak will, quick-tempered but easily collapsed, no competitive spirit, such a rain man, let him down too much.

   With the end of Rain Man, the Supersonics lost their most powerful weapon and their powerful destructive power to the penalty area of ​​the Suns.

   In the end, 75:116, the Suns won the game by 41 points, won the G4 game, led by a big score of three to one, and won the match point.

  Wang Tiejun also came off after Rain Man.

   He did not hesitate to attack Yuren without hesitation. When Yuren came off the court, his physical energy was also exhausted. If Yuren persisted, he might not be able to persist.

   played 26 minutes, made 7 of 10 shots, 5 of 9 free throws, scored 19 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 1 turnover and 5 fouls.

   Among the 5 fouls, two offensive fouls were blown after hitting the rain man.

   The next day, on the 31st, the Suns returned to Phoenix.

   This morning, Supersonic announced Yuren's injuries. The third to fifth ribs on the left chest were fractured, and the muscles were blunt trauma.

  Because these ribs cover the heart, it remains to be seen what kind of damage will be done to the heart in the end, and whether it will affect cardiopulmonary function.

   This means that the Supersonic Western Conference is over.

   "The violent flow completely destroys the beast flow, old KKO rain man!"

   The news made headlines on the sports page of the New York Times and was covered in detail by at least 100 media outlets across the United States.

  From this day on, Wang Tiejun's reputation as a violent element has been heard throughout the United States.

   That night, the Eastern Conference finals started the G4 battle. In the end, at 95:105, the Bulls pulled back one more game. The two sides fought 2:2, and the pressure was on the Knicks.

   "I'm not mistaken, this is home field advantage. Now it's the Knicks' turn to have a headache. But the Knicks still have a chance. After all, they have one more home court than the Bulls. If they hit the tiebreaker, the Bulls will really encounter difficulties."

   Wang Tiejun's house, Zhang Lili shouted.

   Comrade Pharaoh looked at some data released on the TV and said, "The Bulls' rebounding is getting better and better, and the Knicks are only two away from this game."

Zhang Lili praised: "Jordan is amazing, he made 18 of 30 shots, 60% of the shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 66.7% of his shots, his performance today is amazing, 12 of 14 free throws, the lethality is unlimited. , scored 54 points, with such a high efficiency, it's no wonder the Knicks don't lose."

   "It's all breakthroughs, and of course the efficiency is high. But that's it, how come the first three games weren't so efficient? So he's definitely not invincible." Lao Wang said.

   Zhang Lili looked at Wang Tiejun in astonishment. He felt that this kid didn't seem to be talking weird or crazy, but he really thought so.

"Sleep and sleep, I need to keep my spirits up, build up my stamina, help Barkley beat the Bulls, and let him win a championship anyway. This brother is so pitiful, the peak period is almost over, and the big contract didn't get one. The hard honor will also get an MVP, who will help him if I don't help him?”

  Pharaoh stood up and stretched a lot.

At 9 o'clock the next day, Wang Tiejun got up from the bed, and when he got downstairs, Zhang Lili was busy in the kitchen. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and said: "Tiejun, I received news from Mr. Sun Zhenping, CCTV has already After negotiating with the NBA about the copyright of the finals, CCTV also officially hired me as a non-staff commentator, responsible for explaining the finals with Mr. Sun on the spot."

   "Really?" He cheered, which was a good thing.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Now that the Rain Man has been reimbursed, there is no problem with you winning the Supersonics. After entering the finals, you should play better. CCTV will broadcast the finals in real time this year because of you, and it will definitely be greatly promoted you.

   In addition, I estimate that before the World Championships next year, Liu Chu will have to take the initiative to find you. "

  Wang Tiejun curled his lips and said, "I was fired from the provincial team and the national youth team. I said at the time that I was wronged, and no one believed me. Now, how easy is it to let me in again?"

   Zhang Lili was startled, nodded and said, "Mr. Sun talked to me and said that if you can really make a name for yourself in the NBA, your case is not a problem, and the relevant departments will solve it."

   "Okay, let's not talk about these things now, I will not join the national team for the time being. You also said that the current national team is quite strong, and there is no shortage of me." He said.

   Zhang Lei was stunned, did I say that?

   June 1, 1993, the match day of the Western Conference Finals G5.

   "Old K, I wish you a happy 20th birthday!"

   After training this afternoon, Colangelo and all the management came to the training hall and prepared a big cake and a well-prepared birthday present.

   "Is today K's birthday?"

   "Damn, I didn't prepare a present."

   "Neither did I, why didn't anyone tell us?"

After    reacted, the teammates shouted.

  Wang Tiejun also reacted at this time, and quickly waved his hand: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, today is not my birthday..."

   "Isn't your ID card dated June 1st?" Colangelo was stunned.

   "That's the lunar calendar, not the solar calendar. It's still more than a month away." Wang Tiejun quickly explained.

   Colangelo scratched his head a little, not knowing what to do.

   "Okay okay, then today is my birthday." Lao Wang smiled.

   "Old K, then I'll make up for my birthday gift tomorrow. Anyway, you have an early birthday." Buckley laughed.

   The other teammates also nodded, indicating that they wanted to send additional birthday gifts.

   "Thank you, I'll treat you to a big meal." Old Wang smiled.

   That night, the game went on as scheduled.

  Supersonic lost a lot of strength after Rainman was reimbursed.

   In fact, without Rain Man, the Supersonic's scoring ability has not weakened much, but his greatest value is not scoring.

  Because the Supersonic is a team play, the score of one person is not important, and others can completely make up for the score of the Rain Man.

   His greatest value is his destructive power to the penalty area. He is the through point between the inside and outside of the team. At the same time, his ability to protect the basket on the defensive end is also very strong. Without him, there will be great losses on both ends of offense and defense.

   In the end, at 85:116, the Suns ushered in a big madness, and the Sonics lost the game without any suspense.

   Four to one, the Suns eliminated the Sonics and reached the long-awaited finals.

  When the game was over, all the Suns fans got up from their seats and cheered.

   "Thank you! Thank you... Mr. Colangelo, thank you for trading me to this great team, thank you!"

   Barkley was as happy as a child, hugging this, hugging that, celebrating his first Finals.

From 1984 to the present, this is his ninth season. Jordan, who entered the league at the same time as him, is already full of honors. Even Olajuwon has no championship. There are a lot of other hard honors, only He got almost nothing.

   And this season, he won the first MVP of his career and reached the finals for the first time in his career.

   "Brother, be happy after winning the championship."

  Wang Tiejun pushed away Barkley who was about to hug him in disgust. You have a snot on your face, don't try to touch me.

"Ha ha…"

   Not only was Barkley not angry, he laughed even more when he heard the championship.

   Tonight's game, Wang Tiejun played 25 games, made 5 of 5 shots, 8 of 14 free throws, and scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks, 3 turnovers and 2 fouls.

   Although only 5 shots were taken, it was a foul tactic, and he attacked with the ball more than 10 times.

   In the 5-game series of the Western Finals, he averaged 25.8 minutes, 16.8 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.6 steals, 2.6 blocks, 1.4 turnovers and 3.2 fouls.

   Compared with the second round, the playing time is almost 12 minutes less, the points are almost the same, and the rebounding is a little worse.

  The Suns took the lead in reaching the finals with a big score of 4 to 1, which is also the second time in team history that they have reached the finals.

   In the 1975/76 season, the Suns eliminated the SuperSonics and the Warriors with two big scores of 4-2 respectively, and reached the finals, but unfortunately they were swept by the Celtics 4-0 in the end.

   And this time he won the championship again, 17 years have passed since the last time.

  After the game, after the Suns players and fans celebrated the Western Conference championship, they returned to the locker room, and the management arranged Champagne.

  Although it is not a championship, the Western Conference championship is also a very good honor, and it is worth celebrating.

   "Hey, hey, 1000 points? Not bad, now 1400 points, and if you win the championship, there will be more points rewarded, and the training in the off-season has been completed."

   After playing around, Wang Tiejun walked into the bathroom, turned on the system while taking an ice bath, and looked at the reward for reaching the finals.

  After the end of the season, his training task is to improve his athletic quality, so as to raise his ceiling, and to engage in medicinal baths to improve his ability to resist injuries.

   Thinking of the ability to resist injuries, he looked at the information on the system, and when he saw it, he was stunned.

   "Hey, System, how has my ability to resist injuries improved?"

   has been upgraded by one level, from 86 to 87. I don't know when it was upgraded.

   "When the host performed the second weight gain strength training, some muscle groups in the lower limbs were strengthened, and the protection of the knee joint was strengthened, so the ability to resist injuries and diseases was improved." The system said.

   "So it is."

   At this time, a group of teammates swarmed into the bathroom, which immediately became lively, and he turned off the system.

   In the next time, the Suns will enter a state of rest, taking three days off without any team training.

   The next day, No. 2, the G5 match day of the Eastern Conference Finals.
