NBA Backer King Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Victory over the No. 1 in the West

Sitting on the bench, Wang Tiejun was thinking about O'Neal's detour.

I played twice last season. I didn't even play the first game. I really only played one game, and O'Neal rarely went around.

He was defended by a giant who had a talent that overwhelmed him in all directions. Now he is like facing the meat shield of Eric Klein, and he has no experience to solve this problem.

"Old K, be flexible. You have to move actively and suddenly. You can even use the body of your teammates and opponents to do pick-and-rolls. You can throw him off."

Assistant Lewis came over to pass on the treasure and said: "In the narrow paint area, even if his mobility is stronger than yours, there is not enough space for him to use it.

So the gap between you and his athleticism is actually not as big as it looks on paper, you have to be aware of this.

Unleash your imagination within a limited range. By making the opponent move unpredictably, you can create opportunities to catch the ball. I believe you can do it. It really doesn't work, give him a few elbows and he'll settle down a bit, and won't stick to you so tightly. "

"Limited space, imaginative movement?" He nodded thoughtfully.

In the fourth minute of the second quarter, he went into battle again, and O'Neal was also replaced.

went to the lower left wing first, O'Neal circled forward, he immediately ran in, the latter followed and continued to circle forward.

And this time, he first flicked to the left flank, then suddenly ran low to the right flank, O'Neal was half a beat after being shaken.

ran out of the paint, stopped low on the right wing, and cleared the offense for three seconds, when O'Neal followed up again, and he suddenly moved again.

This time, he moved up, O'Neal fell behind him, and it was impossible to go around.

"Snapped!"

Kevin Johnson's ball came in and was caught with one hand by his left hand.

At this point, he is at the next step of the free throw line, two meters from the basket, slightly towards the right elbow.

couldn't stop for half a second, the position was too high, the other players of the Magic had already rushed over, and O'Neal had also reached the back.

At the moment of catching the ball, he turned to the right, and between dribblings, his right foot went down, and Tieshan hit, and suddenly broke out.

"Boom!"

O'Neal was still moving and did not stand in a defensive position. Under the huge force and reaction, he groaned.

The next moment, he grabbed the pulled basketball with his left hand and stepped on O'Neal's side in a single step. His left hand smashed the ball into the basket with all his strength.

"boom!"

"yeah!"

With the violent explosion, the Westside Arena burst into flames.

"ah!"

When he succeeded, he also roared excitedly and shouted at the angry O'Neal on the floor: "Boy, it's too early for you to become the fourth super center."

"Bastard, get out of here!"

O'Neal rolled over and got up, not calmly and pushed Pharaoh forward.

"Yo ho!"

Pharaoh was surprised for a while, and dared to play rough with him. It seems that the postman's injury was still minor, and he should have hit him harder. Let's talk about it next time we meet.

"Ah!"

In a certain ward in Salt Lake City, the postman sneezed suddenly, and then there was a sinking pain in his chest, and his scalp also hurt. He hurriedly shouted: "Nurse, doctor..."

"Snapped!"

Pharaoh raised his hand and slapped O'Neal's big bald head, causing O'Neal to cry out in pain, covering his head with his hands.

He doesn't have any disgust for this fat man, otherwise he would not slap the head, but slap him in the face, but the necessary warning is still needed, otherwise this **** fat man will **** and pee on his head.

No matter who it is, don't get used to this kind of thing, otherwise your opponent will think that bullying you is a matter of course, get used to it, and then others will learn from it.

After the fight, he shoved O'Neal away again and scolded casually, "Fat fat man, do you want to fight with me? Well, now, let's go, I promise not to fight. kill you."

"Ouch, I'm so angry!" Latham shouted excitedly in the TNT live broadcast booth.

"Will O'Neal fight back?" Dot also asked excitedly.

On the field, O'Neal quickly calmed down when he heard Pharaoh's words.

This **** has even slapped Jordan in the face, not to mention the postman. Every time he encounters Old K, he will be forced to rest for a few months. Fortunately, he wasn't slapped, otherwise his face would be lost.

"There is no response, the shark ran away, this fat guy is very calm! He is a big Mac in the paint area, a gentleman on the court." Latham sighed.

"Puff!"

Dort laughed, and then said with a smile: "That's right, the old K replaced the postman and became the strongest villain in the league. O'Neal is still too tender in fighting, and has never shown much. In terms of violence, he is in the There is a baby in front of old K."

In the end, the Suns won this game, and the Magic's lineup is still worse.

O'Neal was caught by Pharaoh once, but he still performed fiercely. After 41 minutes of play, he made 12 of 23 shots, with a shooting rate of 52.2%, which was lower than the usual efficiency. He scored 7 of 12 free throws and scored 31 points and 15 rebounds. 4 assists, 5 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, which is a good performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

He was more efficient in the first half. After the fierce confrontation with Wang Tiejun, his physical energy was consumed. In the second half, his physical fitness declined, and his efficiency also declined.

Wang Tiejun made fewer shots, 9 of 16 shots, and two shots from O'Neal. His 56.2% hit rate was only average, but he also made a lot of free throws. Like O'Neal, he showed strong lethality. He made 8 of 13 free throws and won To 26 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, 1 turnover and 4 fouls.

The two were one-on-one, and the offensive end belonged to each other. Wang Tiejun was slightly inferior, but it was not that O'Neal could prevent him, but his own style of play and physical fitness.

As far as offense is concerned, an O'Neal really can't defend him, even if O'Neal gains weight.

Unless, like Mosaic, a guy with a tonnage and defense like Barkley, who is also very fast and very experienced, double-teams him.

However, he is still a big hole on the defensive end, and O'Neal's 5 big caps played an outstanding performance in rim protection. The difference in defensive strength between the two is not small.

TNT's commentator Latham finally commented: "In terms of overall performance, of course, O'Neal is better, and the performance of the superstar is not controversial.

And old K's offense is at the level of an All-Star center. His defensive performance dragged down his overall evaluation. In the case of a one-on-one match with O'Neal, he lost more points than he scored.

But anyway, now his defense is a bit stronger than last season, worthy of the evaluation of a first-class center. "

"A first-class center? There is still some distance from a superstar."

Duotuo nodded and said: "When he first entered the league last season, his ceiling evaluation was a quasi-first-class center. After a season, he improved his offensive strength, not only exchanged his potential, but also exceeded his ceiling. Potential level, next, will he make progress?"

Latham said: "In fact, in the finals, he has exceeded the ceiling evaluation of a near-class center, and even played a superstar performance.

Especially in the last quarter of the championship-winning G6 game, he exploded on the defensive end and was invincible on the offensive end. That was the performance of a super center.

This shows that his ceiling is not a quasi-first-class center at all, he has the potential to make better performances on the defensive end. "

"So Latham, where do you say his real ceiling is?" Dot asked.

Laetham said while thinking: "A performance in the finals is not enough to determine the overall situation, but no matter what, his athletic quality has improved this season, and we can all see that he is tapping his potential and improving himself at the same time. performance on offense.

Overall, as long as his defense improves and stabilizes, he can transform from a first-class center to a top-level center, which is what we call a superstar. And this is his ceiling. "

"Yes, a first-class center can attack the strong and defend the weak, but the top center must have both offense and defense, otherwise he will not be worthy of the title of superstar. As for the strongest super center, it needs to be able to play a top center for at least several seasons. Yes, and you need to have a huge influence in the league, that's a comprehensive evaluation of a center's career." Dort laughed.

Latham nodded and said: "So it's too early to judge O'Neal as a super center. Yes, his dual talents are really bursting, and he definitely has the potential to become a super center. However, this is him. In his second season, he needs to deliver more."

The second day after playing the Magic, the Suns ushered in the challenge of the Clippers at home.

This is a back-to-back, physical reasons cause the Suns to feel bad, in a sluggish state, and finally lose the game.

20, the Suns defeated the Pacers at home, and achieved a record of 15 wins and 6 losses, which is still the third in the Western Conference.

After this game, the Suns went to the away game overnight and will play the Nuggets back-to-back on the 21st.

The Nuggets had a previous record of 9 wins and 13 losses, the standard Western bad team.

After six o'clock, the Suns had dinner and went back to the locker room to prepare for the game. It happened that the Nuggets also arrived, and players they knew greeted each other.

"Old K."

"Dikembe, this season's shot-blocking king, looks like you've got it."

Wang Tiejun and Mutombo also greeted him.

Dikembe Mutombo entered the league a year earlier than him, but this African is already 27 years old, said to be 66 years old, seven years older than him, in fact, the specific birthday is ominous, because in his country Do not register this information.

But this guy was lucky, he was selected as an All-Star substitute in his rookie season, and finally got a little star qualification.

Mutombo smiled honestly and said: "It's hard to say, Dameng also has 3.7 blocks per game now."

"You have 4.1 caps, you have a big advantage, and you specialize in defense, he can't catch up." He asked.

"Hopefully." Mutombo smiled.

In this game, the back-to-back Suns were obviously lacking in physical fitness, their hand feeling generally declined, and they were defeated by the Nuggets.

The next day, the Suns arrived in Seattle with a record of 15 wins and 7 losses. They will challenge the second in the Western Conference First League on the 23rd, and last season's Western Conference opponent, the Supersonics who were eliminated by them.

Supersonics are strong in scoring average. There is no player with 20+ points this season, but six players scored in double figures. The main and backup lineups are quite strong, so they have the first record in the West.

Even if one of the main players is injured, there are enough people on the bench to go up, and it will not affect the combat power.

Prior to this, the Supersonics had 20 wins and 2 losses, and only lost two games this season.

In this game, in order to avenge their elimination in the Western Conference Finals, the Sonics really wanted to win and sent a strong starting lineup.

Rainman Kemp, power forward Sam Perkins, small forward Schramf, shooting guard Kendall Gill, point guard Payton.

The Suns are Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Horry, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson.

"boom!"

With a loud explosion of the basket, Wang Tiejun hung on top of the basket.

He knocked Kemp, dunked Perkins, and threw two in one offense.

Jordan Karl is different. In order to maintain the team's sharp offense, he insisted on using a light interior without a meat shield.

In the face of such an inside line, Wang Tiejun is a real giant, unstoppable in the paint area.

Last season, Rain Man Kemp was able to carry a little bit on the defensive end, but now his tonnage has reached 126 kg, his strength is 97, and his explosive power has also been enhanced. Pu has completely lost his resistance, and even double-teaming can't stop him.

However, back on the defensive end, he was also a little helpless against Kemp's brutal dunks.

Camp's ability to cut is very strong, even if his speed is increased to 69, he is still far behind his opponent. Rain Man is a guy who can make fast breaks. After being thrown off, he will never try to catch up with Rain Man.

After AC Green was pulled out, it was difficult for him to make up defenses. He did whatever he wanted in the paint area of the Supersonics, but the same was true for Rain Man Kemp, who frequently overturned his basket.

In other words, the supersonic attack was very evenly played, and the Rain Man did not make many shots, otherwise the destructive power would be even greater.

The game entered the second half. In the 5th minute of the third quarter, the two teams tied at 60 and the Suns attacked.

The others pulled away, Wang Tiejun got the ball in the low position on the left wing, turned around and slipped, forcing the Rainman Camp to retreat, and then under the bear step, he instantly turned his movement into a hit. Remember that Tieshan was extremely violent.

"Boom!"

With the sound of 's heavy muscle pounding, Rain Man cried out in pain and flew straight back.

His weight has increased a little this season, and he is not well controlled, but it is only about 106 kilograms. How can he stop such a crazy fight?

"Boom!"

flew Mi Xu in the air, then slammed heavily on the floor, and slipped again and again, with the severe pain coming from his back, his eyes narrowed in pain.

"boom!"

At this moment, a very violent explosion sounded above his head.

He opened his eyes and watched, just to see a pair of fierce eyes looking down from above the basket. Those domineering and indifferent eyes made him feel extremely dazzling and made him feel shame. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. , and groaned in pain again.

"Oh, Rain Man can't get up, he was injured by old K." Luo Lin exclaimed in ESPN's live broadcast booth.

"I'm not surprised that their weight difference is too big, at least 20kg, and the strength and confrontation ability are too far behind. The Sonics played the fast-paced offense and defense that Crazy Karl wanted, but the lineup lacked a real center. In a positional battle, such a lineup would never be able to withstand Old K's beating." Oldman said calmly.

Subsequently, the Rain Man was replaced, and the Supersonics replaced the sixth man Ricky Pierce. The scoring ability was still intact, but the Rain Man's impact on the Suns' basket was lost, and the destructive power and impact of the entire lineup were drastically reduced.

In the end, at 111:101, the Suns won the game.

Wang Tiejun made 13 of 18 shots, with a hit rate of 72%, 7 of 11 penalties, and scored 33 points and 15 rebounds.

16 wins and 7 losses, or third in the Western Conference.
