NBA Backer King Chapter 236

   Chapter 236 The new season is coming

   On August 1st, Zhang Lili and Su Qun came to him and told him that the World Championships were about to start.

   The four-yearly men's basketball world championships will be held in Canada and will end from August 4th to 14th.

   Zhang Lidao said regretfully: "These NBA stars are going to participate in the World Championships this time. The media calls them the second dream team. O'Neal and Mourning are among them. It would be nice if you could participate."

   Lao Wang smiled and said, "No, even if I join the national team in the future, I will only play in the Olympics, not the World Championships."

   Zhang Lili and Su Qun were startled and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  4, the 12th Men's Basketball World Championships kicked off in Toronto.

  16 teams participated and were divided into four groups. The top two teams in each group entered the knockout round. Country Z was divided into one group with the United States, Brazil and Spain.

Needless to say, the strength of Dream Team II, Brazil is the champion of South America, Spain is the fifth place in the European Championship, and the strength is not weak. If the men's basketball team wants to get out of the group stage, they must eliminate these two countries, so the pressure is very high. .

   In the first game against Brazil, in the last ten seconds of the game, he was still two points behind. In the end, Zheng Wu was in danger and hit a two-pointer, which dragged the game into overtime.

  In overtime, Hu Weidong broke out, scored 10 points alone, defeated Brazil with a score of 97:93, and won the first group match.

   No. 6, battle the United States.

   Against the Dream Team No. 2, it is undoubtedly a lot of pressure. This is the first time that the men's basketball team has played the Dream Team.

Before    came out, the men's basketball team came to the player tunnel in advance and waited.

   Liu Yumin personally served as the team leader, Jiang Xinquan was the head coach, and the two and several other coaches and staff were also waiting.

   It was time to play, and the team of Dream Team 2 had not arrived yet, so the staff of the organizing committee had to arrange for the national team Z to go out first.

   After five or six minutes, a group of uncles from the Dream 2 team arrived late and came out to the cheers of the Canadians.

   There is usually a greeting session before the two teams start the game. Team Z took the initiative to say hello, and the guys with eyes above the top of the Dream 2 team responded lukewarmly, and some ignored it.

   Someone like Rain Man Camp, who has a bad relationship with Wang Tiejun, greets the men's basketball team with a nose instead of a nose, eyes instead of eyes, and a very bad attitude.

  The game started afterwards. Under the pressing defense of the US team, the men's basketball team immediately fell into a passive state and made frequent mistakes, giving the Dream Second Team many fast break opportunities.

   The outside line is unfavorable, and the inside line is also weak.

"boom!"

  Rain Man Kemp, the originator of the beast streamer, bombed the basket of the Z national team again and again, and never tired of it.

"boom!"

  The same is true for O'Neal, the giant beast. On both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he completely dominated the two penalty areas, and made the single Taoist scum.

"Ugh!"

   The commentator Zhang Lili kept sighing in his heart. If Wang Tiejun was there, even if he couldn't guard against these two guys, he could still explode each other, and the scene wouldn't be so embarrassing.

   After a game, at 132:77, the men's basketball team lost to the Dream Second Team by a full 55 points, which can be called a bloodbath.

   Hu Weidong, who played well in the last game, only scored 8 points in this game, and the main center Shan Tao only scored 11 points.

   Director Liu Yumin of the basketball department, sitting next to the bench, watched with his own eyes a giant beast and a beast smashed the men's basketball penalty area into slag, and wanted to call Wang Tiejun into the national team more and more in his heart.

  After the game, she found Zhang Lili.

   "Old Zhang, are you familiar with the center and power forward of the U.S. team? CCTV has never broadcast their games, and I don't know them. What is the level of their strength compared to Wang Tiejun?" she asked.

   Zhang Lili immediately said: "That center is Shaq O'Neal, nicknamed the Shaq, and he is the most likely person to become the fourth-best super center in the NBA.

This time he led his team into the NBA playoffs, but he was swept in the first round, but there is no doubt about his strength. He is first-class and strong, and his offensive and defensive strength is even higher than Wang Tiejun. under. "

   "How much stronger than Wang Tiejun?"

  Liu Yumin doesn't doubt what Zhang Li said, O'Neal's performance just now was really strong, he ran as fast as a defender, and was frighteningly flexible, but his explosiveness was extremely terrifying. At first glance, he was an extremely talented person.

   Zhang Lili said: "His athletic qualities are much stronger than Wang Tiejun, but Tiejun also has his strengths, and O'Neal can't guard against him either. The two actually explode each other.

   However, Wang Tiejun's style of play is too physical, so the number of attacks is limited and his scoring ability is not as good. "

   After talking about O'Neal, he introduced the situation of Camp Rainman, and then said: "This star suffered a lot under Tiejun, and his ribs were broken. If Tiejun was on the court today, he would not dare to be so presumptuous.

   is O'Neill, who has suffered losses in front of the Iron Army. He has been detained by the Iron Army several times, and is often knocked over by the Iron Army. Of course, he also knocked over the Iron Army several times. "

   Liu Yumin nodded, not knowing what he was thinking, he didn't speak.

   Zhang Lei opened his mouth and wanted to ask about the current situation, but it was difficult to speak.

   I met Wang Tiejun before I came here this time. He knew Wang Tiejun's attitude. He could not be called up by the national team if he wanted to. Now it's not working very well.

   Liu Yumin was thinking about this, and now she desperately wants to call Wang Tiejun into the national team before the 1996 Olympics.

   Zhang Lili thought for a while, but still said: "Liu Chu, you know what Wang Tiejun means, he won't agree if he doesn't solve his problem.

   And, even if that thing is done, he will only play in the Olympics, and not in other competitions. "

  Liu Yumin was startled, feeling a little annoyed.

   On August 10th, in the capital, Wang Tiejun put Feihong on a plane, who will study at UCLA for three years.

   Before leaving, he gave Yu Feihong a Citibank cheque for US$200,000, which the latter exchanged in RMB, giving him no less than a penny at the official exchange rate.

   Yu Feihong's family is very good. He started filming at the age of 16. The cost of studying abroad is not a problem. He is unwilling to spend his money and is very independent.

  The relationship between the two has further developed. At least they no longer say that the other party is a brother. However, the distance is too far, and some other reasons have been blocking the further development of the two.

   A few days later, the 12th World Championships ended. The Dream Team 2 won the championship with super strength, averaging a net advantage of 37.7 points per game, continuing the glory of the Dream Team 1.

   And the men's basketball team of country Z also achieved breakthrough results in history, reaching the top eight in the world and achieving the eighth best result in the world.

   This generation of men's basketball is also called the golden generation of 1994 by the domestic media. Hu Weidong and others have made a splash.

   On August 25th, Wang Tiejun completed a 50-day speed training, and his speed was increased to level 77, reaching his ceiling.

   Ten days later, he completed the two-month bounce training, and his bounce was raised to a ceiling of 74, with a bounce height of 73/73 and a bounce speed of 75/75, which could no longer be improved.

   The improvement of these two qualities has also led to a corresponding improvement in some technologies.

   At the end of September, the 80-day balance training was completed, and the ceiling was raised to 87.

   Ten days later, on October 5th, all other trainings were completed.

  With the weight reaching 129kg, the strength also reached 98.

   Through training, his physical fitness has increased by 3 levels as scheduled, and with 100 medicated baths, his potential has increased by another level, and now he is at level 99/101.

With a physical fitness of   99, he estimated that he was at the top level in the league, because the level 110 set by the system was for the entire human race, not just the NBA.

   Coordination increased by 5 levels and is now level 90/91.

   In terms of anti-injury and disease ability, it is now level 93/101, and it can be increased by one level through medicated oil massage.

  In terms of rebounding, through training, it has been improved by 3 levels, and the improvement of sports quality has been improved by 1 level accordingly. Under the double management, it has been improved by 4 levels in three months, and now it has reached level 98.

   The system prompts that he has mastered all rebounding skills, this technology has reached his ceiling, and he can no longer improve through systematic training. If he wants to improve, his athletic quality needs to be improved to a higher level.

   The cap has been improved by 5 levels through training, and the improvement of athletic quality has been improved by 2 levels, a total of 7 levels, and now it is 89 levels.

   The single defense has been increased by 4 levels, and it is now level 91.

  Assistant defense has been improved by 8 levels through training, and thanks to the improvement of athletic quality, it has been increased by 2 levels, a total of 10 levels have been improved, and now it is 81 levels.

   In addition, the explosive power has been increased from 77/85 to 80/86, which has been increased by three and one levels respectively.

In terms of offensive ability, the low-level surface basket has been improved from 70 to 72, the low-level turnaround jumper of level 28 has been improved to level 35, the board shot of level 55 has been improved to level 58, the jump shot of level 65 has been improved to level 66, and other high-level skills have been improved. No change, no change in overall offensive strength.

   In addition, there are four stats that have improved. He has never paid attention to these four stats, and he doesn't know when they improved.

   Level 65 organization should be upgraded to level 70, level 70 screening strategy should be upgraded to level 85, level 80 response shot should be upgraded to level 85, and level 85 quick attack should be upgraded to level 95.

   The improvement of these four items, according to the analysis, should be the improvement with the accumulation of game experience in the past two seasons.

   Looking at my information, I feel that it has improved a lot.

   However, the improvement of offensive strength requires a lot of points to optimize and synthesize these high-level technologies.

   The defense is still a little weak, especially the help defense, and it is necessary to continue to improve.

   "System, and then exchange for a training card for assist defense, solo defense and block."

   There are not so many points for optimization and synthesis, so he can only improve through training. He still has 800 points, and he has exchanged three training cards to prepare for training in the new season.

   The three trainings are still three months. Solo defense and block defense will each increase by 3 levels.

   The system prompts that the 88-level assist defense is the ceiling that his physical fitness can support, unless he improves his quality again.

  October 10th, he bid farewell to his family and set off for the United States, landing in Los Angeles.

   Liu Changfeng and his daughter-in-law Tian Xiaofen followed him to the United States, not as his personal massage therapist this time, but as a Suns massage therapist.

  He often helps Kevin Johnson and the others do massage. The Suns officially decided to hire him as the team's massage therapist, with an annual salary of 45,000 US dollars, and the working time is the whole season.

   The number of people on a team is fixed, including the masseuse. The Suns didn't hire him last season because there was no space left. This time, a position was vacated so that they could hire him.

   In this way, Lao Wang can save some expenses.

   Arrived in Los Angeles, Hoxman picked up the plane, Pharaoh asked Liu Changfeng and his wife to go to Phoenix first, and he was going to visit Yu Feihong, and by the way, he would spend a few days in Los Angeles.

   "Less than, here I am."

   Driving Hoxman's car to UCLA, he made a call to Feihong Yu.

   "Old K, we haven't seen you for two months, why are you so old again?" Yu Feihong said in surprise when he saw Lao Wang.

   "Gain weight, I need more tonnage and strength to get a greater advantage in the penalty area." He smiled.

   "Be careful of getting hurt." Yu Feihong urged.

   stayed in Los Angeles until the 15th before he left.

   In the past few days, I have visited Los Angeles with Yu Feihong.

   In his relationship with Yu Feihong, he is very cautious, not in the mentality of playing with those female stars and models in Hollywood.

   Yu Feihong also has her own ideas. She has a very independent personality. Even if she can get together with Wang Tiejun, she will not depend on him.

   But she also understands that the two have different occupations and are so far apart that if they want to come together, the obstacles are very big.

   Unless one of the two can sacrifice his career, it is difficult for them to really come together, because for a lover or a couple, distance does not produce beauty.

   The reason why I decided to study in the United States is because I had a long-standing plan, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Wang Tiejun to see if there could be a change.

   This change is mainly on her side. She can be sure that Wang Tiejun will not give up his NBA career because of her.

  If there is one person to sacrifice, it can only be himself.

  Pharaoh spent more than one million dollars to buy a villa in a wealthy area on the outskirts of Los Angeles, put a Mercedes-Benz SUV there, and gave a set of keys to Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong has an independent personality and the same economy. He doesn't spend his money. He usually goes out to play in exchange for treating guests. This time, she didn't refuse, because she knew that the United States was actually very unsafe, especially at night. It's not much better, and it's expensive, and it's safer to live in the richer areas.

  The two spent a few days together in Los Angeles, but the relationship has made progress. They are both very straightforward characters. They feel that the time has come, so they officially established their relationship.

   On the afternoon of the 15th, Wang Tiejun returned to Phoenix, and Liu Changfeng came to pick him up.

  Liu Changfeng has moved out, and his daughter-in-law has brought him here, so he can no longer live on Wang Tiejun's side. The young couple rented a house and started to run their own nest.

  Wang Tiejun already had three cars, so he didn't need that much, so he gave the previous pickup to Liu Changfeng.

   The next day, he went to the housekeeping service center to register and hired a cleaning worker.

   He doesn't like other people living in his home, and he doesn't plan to hire a chef. The restaurant outside is not far away, so he can do it himself, and the workers are also part-time workers.

   When the Suns played the preseason, they were all rookies and substitutes, and none of the main players went.

   In the next two days, Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley also returned to Phoenix. At noon on the 18th, the three found a cafeteria to meet.

   "Old K, so strong? Are you gaining weight again?"

   "How big is the tonnage now?"

As soon as they met, Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley were a little surprised. He smiled and said: "129 kg, but my mobility has not weakened, and some qualities have improved. However, my athletic qualities are almost at the limit, and I will only We can improve our technology to improve our strength.”

   "That's also very strong. In the playoffs, your speed is not slow, and the average power forward is not faster than you." Dan Marley said.

  Pharaoh looked at the two of them. Kevin Johnson is obviously not as fit as last season, and his muscles are a little looser than before. The same is true for Dan Marley. He sighed inwardly that these two old teammates are in a worrying state this season.

  Dan Marley is a jumper-based shooting guard. The situation may be a little better. The breakthrough-based Lightning, judging from his physical condition, should drop a grade this season.

   "Old K, the lineup has changed a bit this season. Several people have left." Kevin Johnson said.

   "I haven't been to the headquarters yet, I don't know the situation, you know?" he asked.

  Kevin Johnson said: "Oliver Miller went to the Pistons, Ceballos went to the Lakers. In addition, Danny Manning joined us as a free agent, but only signed a one-year contract."

   "He doesn't stay with the Eagles?" Pharaoh asked.

   "The Eagles are rebuilding, they want young people, and he doesn't have many opportunities. It happened that his contract was over and he chose to leave." Kevin Johnson said.

   Pharaoh stays for a while, are the Clippers and Eagles crazy?

  Before the All-Star last year, the Clippers completed a trade with the Eagles. The Clippers used Danny Manning + two protected first-round picks to trade the Hawks' human movie essence Wilkins. Because both stars belonged to Reebok, the deal made a splash in the league at the time.

   Then after the end of last season, Wilkins immediately announced that he would not renew his contract with the Clippers, and now Danny Manning has also left the Eagles. Aren't these two teams fighting each other? The Hawks also dropped two protected first-round picks, and the Clippers didn't.

   "Old K, what are your thoughts on the new season?" Dan Marley asked.

Lao Wang stopped his knife and fork, thought for a while, and said: "Our main opponent in the new season is Mosaic. We lost to them last time. I don't want to lose again this time. I will get used to losing again, and I cannot lose again. "

  Kevin Johnson opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say it.

He is almost 29 years old. He has rested for a few months. He knows that the state of the new season will not be as good as last season. He feels that he should have passed his peak period. If the team wants to hit the championship again, this There will be a lot of pressure on him this season.

   Last season, he averaged nearly 37 minutes per game. This season, he hopes to limit the playing time to less than 30 minutes. If it is longer, his body will not be able to bear it.

   In fact, he really does not want to leave the Suns. Although he is not a rookie of the Suns, he was traded to the Suns in his rookie season. The Suns are his parent team. He has been playing here and wants to die here.

   It's just that Old K has become the core of the team. If such a young core cannot keep up with his age, the team is likely to trade him and equip Old K with more suitable teammates.

   So if he wants to stay in the Suns, he must accompany the old K to continue to fight without any slack.

   If old K just got on with it, he would be more comfortable and retire after a few more years, but old K is obviously not.

   In this case, he has to be prepared to be traded, or the team finds a younger No. 1 position, and he is mentally prepared to enter the bench.

  Dan Marley has the same mind as Kevin Johnson. He is one year older than the Lightning, almost 30 years old, and his physical fitness has passed the peak period. Now it is time to play with experience.

   And he's a rookie for the Suns, he's been here since he entered the league, and he doesn't want to leave.
