NBA Backer King Chapter 246

   Chapter 246 O'Neal's First Person Wants to Intercept Old K

  Jazz attacked, 8 seconds left.

   "I want a ball, you bastard!"

   The left wing is low, and Pharaoh is behind the postman, while spouting trash talk.

   "Boom!"

  The Postman put his elbow on Pharaoh's chest with a backhand, then took the opportunity to get rid of the latter, and took a step up to receive a pass from Stockton.

   The next moment, he turned around and took off and shot a jumper on the left waist.

"Snapped!"

  Unfortunately, Pharaoh has already taken a step back, and with a wave of his hand, he fanned the ball again.

   This time, the ball flew very high and landed in the frontcourt of the Suns. Several perimeter players from the two teams ran over desperately.

  Wang Tiejun and the postman were also chasing after them, and the two of them ran a flush.

   Just when they crossed the center line, the ball that was about to go out of the bottom line was chased by Dan Marley.

  The Jazz got back to the basket, and Dan Marley pulled to the left wing. At this time, Wang rushed to the top of the arc and was reaching for the ball at him. He quickly pulled the ball up and pushed it with one hand.

  Pharaoh was on the left and the postman was on the right. After catching the ball with his left hand, he was caught dead, leaned his body to the right, hit the postman with his right elbow, pushed it back, and then strode across the free throw line and flew up.

Jazz small forwards David Benoit and Drexler, who were back to the basket, changed their faces when they saw it. Even if this behemoth in charge was just rubbing them, they would all have to fly. , hurriedly flashed to the side.

"boom!"

   Under the dunk of his left hand, the entire backboard instantly burst into countless small particles.

"Oh!"

   The audience exclaimed.

   "Haha, old K knocked down another rebound. Whose basket did he knock down last time? I think the league should raise their standards for the quality of rebounds and baskets again." Bill Walton exclaimed excitedly.

   "Haha, what happened on No. 4, he collapsed their basket at the Sonics' home court." John Hanks laughed.

  Bill Walton shook his head and smiled: "You know, John, this is the first time I've seen old K complete such a dunk in the fast break, do you know what it means?"

   "Speed, explosiveness, unstoppable, he's like a wildly charging bison that can kill anyone." John Hanks said without hesitation.

Nodding, Bill Walton smiled and said: "Although your statement is a bit exaggerated, his speed and explosiveness have not reached that level. He is still not as good as O'Neal in these two athletic qualities, but it is not bad now, enough for him to keep up. Fast break rhythm.

   The reason why the three super centers are super centers is that they can break fast like a guard, and the same is true for O'Neal. Now Old K also has this ability initially.

   Of course, I don't know if he can continue to improve this fast break ability, if not, then I think he must still focus on positional warfare.

   If he can, then he will even out a lot of talent disadvantages in the competition with O'Neal. "

  John Hanks suddenly smiled and said, "Although O'Neal's athleticism is stronger than Old K, he is far inferior to Old K in terms of performance."

"Ha ha…"

   Bill Walton laughed: "Yes, one has won the championship as the main center and led his team to the Western Conference finals last season, while the other has achieved nothing and was swept in the first round.

   By the way, the old K was also selected for the best second team last season, and O'Neal has not had such a hard honor. Last season, the first team was a big dream, and the third team was David Robinson. "

   "What's the long-winded? What is a second team? Sooner or later, I will get a double first team. That's the standard for a super-giant offense and defense."

  Orlando, O'Neal shouted, staring at Bill Wharton on the TV.

  The game entered the suspension stage, and the Jazz were not as strong as others. Affected by this, the atmosphere at home fell to the bottom.

   Twenty minutes later, the rebounds were replaced and the game resumed.

"boom!"

After the pick-and-roll, Jeff Hornacek threw a small open 3-pointer and missed.

"Snapped!"

   stuck the postman, Pharaoh protected the rebound, and the Suns attacked.

   came to the front court, everyone else had already pulled away, he rushed directly to the basket, the postman immediately came up and refused his violation.

   He stopped at the next step of the free throw line, three meters from the basket.

   At this time, Kevin Johnson's ball was stolen by Stokes, and some hurriedly passed the ball in.

   He turned around quickly, and with a bang, he pushed his left elbow out on the postman's chest, and at the same time grabbed the ball with his right hand.

   The next moment, two Jazz players rushed to the side.

   "Boom! Hiss! Boom!"

   He was hit with his right elbow, his left foot was stepped on, his face was scratched, and he was hit with a heavy elbow by the postman behind his back.

   In an instant, he was under attack several times during the siege.

   "Go away!"

   From the moment he received the ball, the three seconds of the attack restarted, and he also started to play frantically.

  Hold the ball leaning over, the left foot as a support, the right foot stepped back, inserted between the legs of the postman behind, and the right calf hangs on the postman's right calf.

   "Boom!"

   In the next instant, his right knee suddenly collapsed backward, and at the same time, his back slammed into the postman's chest. With the heavy impact, a huge force erupted instantly.

  In the case of being surrounded, he used Bajiquan to hang down. Anyway, the referee couldn't see it at this time, so he didn't use it for nothing.

   "Boom!"

  The postman was hung under his feet, and his center of gravity was forced to move backwards. After being hit in the chest again, his upper body slammed back and hit the floor.

   "click, click..."

  After the bottom line, a dense shutter sounded from the media booth.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   The next moment, amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Pharaoh made two consecutive hits with his right foot, and the two Jazz players on the left and right collapsed with a bang.

   "Oh oh..."

  The Delta Center Arena erupted with huge exclamations continuously.

"boom!"

After sweeping away all the defenders, Pharaoh turned around and stepped on the postman's side. The giant beast-like body slammed into the air. Under a ball, the basket sank abruptly with the loud explosion of the basket. The swaying posture, like the slender waist of a beauty that is about to break, makes people worry.

   landed and turned around. Pharaoh looked down at the Jazz's home court and walked slowly towards the front court.

  Besides, there are teammates who rushed over to cheer and celebrate, whether it is the superstar Drexler or the former No. 1 draft pick Danny Manning, they are all closely united by his side.

Behind   , there are three jazz players such as the postman who got up.

   They were extremely embarrassed at the moment, their morale was low, and the huge pressure made their breathing quicken involuntarily.

   At this time, they have been completely shattered by Pharaoh's crazy sweep.

   A little further, there are countless frustrated Jazz fans who have suffered repeated blows from Pharaoh tonight.

   "Oh, too bad! Really too bad! He he he, he is a monster..."

   "Yes, alas, even the postman's elbows can't handle him, yes, can't handle..."

  It was very quiet in the commentary booth, and the two regional commentators fell into a dead silence, unable to say a complete sentence.

  In the ABC live booth, Bill Walton roared excitedly: "It's great, old K sweeps his opponents continuously, this is the penalty area sweeper, when he weighs 129 kg, he is unstoppable."

   "I'm right, on the offensive end, in the penalty area, the old K's dominance is unlimited." John Hanks laughed.

   "Nonsense, I'm the strongest ruler of the paint area." Orlando, O'Neal shouted in disapproval.

   In the end, at 118:95, the Suns won by 23 points, defeated the Jazz, and won their nine-game winning streak.

  Bill Walton finally analyzed: "The Postman played 44 minutes, made 10 of 21 shots, made 47.6% of the shots, made 4 of 6 free throws, and got 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.

   The old K, who played against the position, played 38 minutes, made 12 of 20 shots, made 60% of the shots, and made 5 of 9 penalties. He scored 29 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 blocks, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls. Triple-double data. "

John Hanks said: "Old K's basket offense accounted for as high as 55%, 8 of the 11 basket offenses were made, and the basket offense hit rate was 72.7%, and the remaining 9 nearly two-point shots, hit In 4 of them, the hit rate also reached 44.4%, which is also quite good.

The Postman has only 25% of his shots at the rim. He made 5 shots at the rim, and made 3 shots. The other 16 shots were all mid-range shots. He made 6 shots, and the hit rate was 37.5%, which was lower than the normal 40. % of mid-range shots. "

   Bill Walton said: "These data show that the old K is more powerful on the offensive end, playing no weaker performance than in the past, while relatively limited by the postman, tonight's performance is slightly worse than in the past."

  John Hanks said with a smile: "Let's be honest, the old K defends the postman alone, and the efficiency of the postman declines. The jazz doubles the old K, and the old K can still play as good as before.

   This is the dominance of the old K on the offensive end. Even if it is a top super giant like the postman, no matter how hard it is, it will not limit his attack. "

   nodded, Bill Walton said: "Especially at the basket, the old K was particularly strong tonight, and his attack percentage at the basket was even higher than before.

   In addition, on the basis of getting 29+15, he also sent 10 assists. With such a performance, I am worried for teams like Mosaic and Spurs. It will be very difficult for them to get out of the West this season. Even the Bulls, I quote old K, if they want to successfully defend their title, they have to look at the old K's face. "

After playing the Jazz, the Suns had three consecutive home games, and they rushed back to Phoenix the next day.

  On the 23rd, the Suns defeated the visiting lousy Clippers and won ten consecutive victories.

  On the 25th, the Spurs arrived in Phoenix, they will be the next opponent of the Suns.

This season's Spurs, lineup reinforcements, Sean Elliott and Jr. Johnson have both returned to the team, but Dennis Rodman, like Barkley, was injured at the beginning of the game, at least a truce Thirty games, the lineup is not neat.

Thanks to the efforts of David Robinson, the start was good, with a three-game winning streak, but the next few games were not played well, and a win was a loss, unable to play a winning streak, and did not show a first-round team at all. The strength and ambition of the team are currently five wins and five losses, and the Western rankings fall behind the Suns, Jazz and Mosaic, and the Sonics.

   In fact, even if the Spurs have a neat lineup, they are not as good as the Suns. Besides, they just lost to the Sonics at home last night. Today is a back-to-back game, and they lack Rodman's rebounding. They lose more and win less, and their morale is not high.

   In this game, the Suns successfully won, pushing their winning streak to 11 games.

   After playing against the Spurs, the Suns also ushered in a back-to-back game, fighting against the Nets on the 26th.

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

  Nets: Benoit Benjamin, Derek Coleman, Chris Morris, Kevin Edwards, Kenny Anderson

  Sun: Wang Tiejun, Danny Manning, Clyde Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

   The Suns did not have a national live broadcast of this game, but the Nets did. The Nets only had 15 national broadcasts this season. This is one of them, which was broadcast live by ESPN in the United States.

   Commentator Winston Rollins analyzed: "The Nets are currently 6-7, a bad team in the West, but seventh in the East.

There are traditional strong teams such as the Bulls and Knicks in the East, as well as rising stars like the Magic, but on the whole, the league has shown a trend of strength in the West and weakness in the East. If the West wants to enter the top eight, the winning rate must be at least 50%, while the East unnecessary. "

Carter Oldman continued: "Under normal circumstances, there is no suspense for the Suns to win this game. Old K's performance is very stable and efficient. As long as there is no major problem on the outside and the ball is guaranteed to pass in, the Suns will not. Play a bad game.

   But the Nets also have a chance, that is, the Suns just played against the Spurs last night, there will be some physical problems, rush, it is possible to beat the Suns. "

  Rollin laughed at this time: "Coleman, the 90-year-old No. 1 draft pick, is extremely talented. O'Neal just made his debut and tasted the taste of being detained under him, so old K should be careful."

Oldman suddenly smiled and said: "Here I want to criticize old K. In order not to be dunked, his position at the basket is problematic, and he is too far from the basket, which makes the opponent's perimeter breakthrough difficult. more open opportunities.”

   Luo Lin laughed and said: "No no no, old K's defense is good now. After his mobility has become better, his defense ability has greatly improved."

Oldman nodded and smiled and said, "Winston, remember we discussed the upper limit of Old K before. We once decided that his upper limit was a quasi-first-class center. Later, he directly surpassed the level of a quasi-first-class center and played the strength of a first-class center, and then We said his ceiling was a superstar center, so do you think he's a superstar now?"

  Rollin's expression became serious, and after pondering for two or three seconds, he said: "A superstar is a top center, which is completely different from an All-Star center. An All-Star will have other factors, but a top center is only about the player's own strength.

   Has Old K now reached the level of a top center? Naturally, since the start of the game, he has led his team to a 12-game winning streak, averaging 30+15+5, ranking first in scoring, and ranking first in MVP as of last week. Isn't this a top performance? "

   Oldman nodded and said, "So do you think he has a chance to become a superstar? Or a super center?"

  Rollin said: "It will take him to maintain top performance for a long time, at least three to five seasons, it's hard to say at the moment.

  Everyone has a highlight moment, maybe he slack off after getting the next big contract.

Moreover, injuries are the killers of athletes. With his style of play, he is actually very easy to get injured. Once injured, he is not a technical center like the three super centers, and his performance will definitely decline significantly. Become a superstar. "

  Oldman nodded again and said: "Super giant is the dream of every NBA star. But there are also types of super giants.

  For example, the general super giants have their own weaknesses, such as strong offense and weak defense, such as weak attack and strong defense, such as lack of leadership ability, such as lack of overall view, such as not strong willpower and so on.

These weaknesses make it impossible for these super giants to enter the best first team and the best defensive first team at the same time, so that they can't provide more contributions to the team, and it will also prevent them from getting more hard honors, which ultimately makes them unable to dominate an era. or influence an era.

   In addition to the general super giants, there is also a kind of Xeon super giants, such as Michael Jordan, Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... Well, in the entire history of the league, I can only think of three of them. "

  Rollin continued: "Yes, it's probably the three of them, because they all have one characteristic, they are all super giants in both offense and defense, and they have entered the best first team and the best defense first team many times.

   Of course, among the three, Da Meng is the most special, because he has no ring in his hand, no FMVP, and he is not as good as the other two in terms of hard honor. But I think it's because he ran into Jordan, otherwise he should have won a championship last season. "

Oldman said: "So from the perspective of personal strength, there are three of them who are offensive and defensive super giants, but if you add hard honors, the actual offensive and defensive super giants are only Jordan and Abdul-Jabbar. The big dream is far from them. There is still a long way to go.”

At this time in the home team's locker room, while watching ESPN's live broadcast, Pharaoh asked curiously, "The **** you're talking about is Zhang 20,000 in a single game, isn't he a super giant with both offense and defense? "

   Kevin Johnson laughed: "Chamberlain is as miserable as the super centers like Da Meng, he has been pressed by Russell all his life.

  Russell is a defensive super-giant, Chamberlain is an offensive super-giant, one defense and one offense, the winner is defense. "

   Old Wang scratched his head and said that my defense seems to have to be strengthened!

   A few minutes later, the two teams met in the tunnel.

  The visiting team was playing. Derek Coleman, who was about to go out, saw a few starters from the Suns. He glanced back, and when he saw Pharaoh, his eyes could not help flashing a ray of light.

   As the first person to deduct O'Neal, he heard the words of the commentator Luo Lin just now, and he also had the idea of ​​deducting old K in his heart.

Deducting a big center is definitely the best way to humiliate an opponent. He deducted the giant beast in the first month of O'Neal's rookie season. K is too cunning and has never found a chance.

  If he can finish the dunk on the old K tonight, he will definitely be on the front page of all media sports sections tomorrow.

   "This guy doesn't have good intentions towards me! Well, it's better to strike first." Looking at Coleman who ran out, Old Wang thought deeply.
