NBA Backer King Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Destroying the Will of the Maverick

At eight o'clock, the game officially started.

"Snapped!"

Wang Tiejun took the lead to take the ball away and the Suns attacked.

He went into the frontcourt and ran straight to the basket.

and his opponent, the main center of the Mavericks, Lorenzo Williams, is actually a power forward. The Mavericks can't find a decent center, so they let him play the main center.

As an undrafted, he has to be tall but not tall, only 208 cm, and to have no tonnage, only 95 kilograms. This is still the tonnage after gaining weight. When he first entered the league, it was only 91 kilograms.

Such a body, no matter what kind of defense method is used, can't hold Pharaoh.

saw Pharaoh carrying the Mavericks center into the basket, and Elliott Perry, who was still two steps away from the top of the arc, hoisted the ball directly to the basket.

He doesn't have much strength, just one move, handing the ball to the old K, can also mix up a few assists.

"boom!"

Old Wang twisted his waist, threw Lorenzo Williams off his body, then took off to catch the ball, and completed a ferocious alley-oop dunk that directly sunk the Mavericks' basket by more than a foot.

There is no national broadcast of this game, only the regional broadcaster in Dallas. At this time, the two on-site commentators were relatively speechless when they saw the heavy dunk. After a long hesitation, one of the commentators said: "Our fouls should be more decisive and fierce. , to make opponents feel threatened, to make them afraid to let them go under our basket, we lack the kind of deterrent of the Bad Boys."

"Yes, fierce and fast flanking, we should learn from the Supersonics." Another live commentator nodded.

"Snapped!"

responded to them with a big **** hat from Pharaoh, which directly slammed the ball into the auditorium, and at the same time made them shut their mouths.

The Mavericks counterattacked just now, Kidd made a quick advance, Marsh cut to the basket, and after getting the pass, he wanted to make a dunk, and was capped by Pharaoh who was back to the basket.

Heavy dunk + volleyball cap, the Mavericks' home game was instantly silent.

But the tenacious fans recovered immediately, and the loud boos and curses resumed.

The Mavericks attacked, and Jim Jackson singled against Dan Marley. The former's talent and strength surpassed veteran Dan Marley. He made a fake shot and hit a mid-range shot.

Sun attack.

Pharaoh directly carried his opponent into the basket again, and Elliott Perry also threw the ball in without hesitation.

After he caught the ball, he hit a heavy hit, and Lorenzo Williams floated up like a paper man.

"boom!"

The second two-handed dunk, once again silenced the noise of the home fans.

But the Mavericks fans couldn't be beaten like Xiaoqiang, and after a few seconds of silence, they came back to life.

It was still Jim Jackson, who ran on the right wing, caught the ball and made a fake shot, and then smashed Dan Marley, and got the ball into the paint.

Pharaoh completely lost his opponent Lorenzo Williams, and came from the left side of the basket to the right front to make up for defense, blocking Jim Jackson's breakthrough with the ball.

Jim Jackson made a pull-up jumper. Pharaoh just raised his hands and did not take off to block the shot. After the ball was empty from the palm of his hand, he immediately turned around and was ready to grab a rebound.

With his height and wingspan, his defensive height is very high. Even if he doesn't jump up and block the shot, the shooting rate of close-range pull-up jumpers like the perimeter player will not be high. Jordan's shooting rate here is only 32.9%. The player is a little taller, so he didn't take off, so as not to miss the cap, he lost the chance to protect the backcourt rebound.

Sure enough, the ball missed, he turned around and snatched the rebound off Lorenzo Williams' head, completing a successful supplementary defense.

In the next few rounds, he did not attack and only participated in defense. After a two-minute rest, he made another effort on the offensive end.

"boom!"

Still went directly to the basket. Lorenzo Williams couldn't stop him from catching the ball at the basket. After catching the ball, he hit the ball again. After knocking down the opponent, he completed a dunk.

For this kind of light center, the way he relies on playing does not consume a lot of physical energy, which is less than the consumption of directly getting up and dunking with his opponent. .

Lorenzo Williams has been knocked and knocked down three times. With his physique, he couldn't hold it any longer, so he directly asked for a substitution.

Subsequently, the Mavericks replaced a backup center Donald Hodge, and then performed a faster double-team, and power forward Puopeye Jones performed a double-team strategy.

Jones is only 203 cm tall, the same height as the small forward Mashburn, but his tonnage has reached 115 kg, much heavier than the center Lorenzo Williams.

But this tonnage may be effective for others. It is used to double-team Lao Wang, who weighs 216 cm and weighs 129 kg. Is it enough?

He still went directly to the basket. Donald Hodge, who came off the bench, was 213 cm tall, but his tonnage was only 110 kg. He was on the fringes of the team. How could he stop him?

Opeyer Jones moved in advance, in a foul way that almost doubled the off-ball player in advance, and double-teamed Pharaoh before he received the ball.

The referee is also very cooperative, turning a blind eye to the violation of this early double-teaming off the ball.

"Snapped!"

Pharaoh took off from the double team and caught the ball.

"Boom!"

The next moment, under the series of attacks, the inside lines of the two double teams all fell to his feet, and then he held the ball in both hands, his body burst into flames, and he frantically smashed the ball into the basket.

"boom!"

With the loud explosion of the basket, the entire backboard shattered and turned into countless small particles, and even the basket was smashed, resulting in serious deformation.

"Oh!"

The audience exclaimed, and then fell into a dead silence, leaving only the cheers from the Suns bench.

Pharaoh raised his chin slightly and looked down at the audience with cold eyes, admiring the shock and horror on the faces of countless Mavericks fans.

In only half a quarter of the game, he used this extremely powerful basket attack to completely destroy the will and morale of the Mavericks, from players to fans, together.

In this game, 86:124, the Suns won by 38 points.

Wang Tiejun clocked in in three quarters, played only 30 minutes, and did not play for a minute in the final quarter. He made 13 of 13 shots, 3 of 6 free throws, and scored 29 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 2 fouls.

21 wins and 6 losses, the Suns' record is still second in the league and first in the West, but only half a game away from the Mosaic team behind.

At noon on the 29th, the Lakers arrived in Phoenix.

This is the last game of this month and 1994. The Suns hope to win, and with the strength of the Lakers, they should also be able to win.

After training in the afternoon, Pharaoh called Ceballos and asked him to have dinner.

Ceballos' strength is very good, but unfortunately it didn't match him. He went to the Lakers. The Suns only used the 1995 first-round pick he traded to the Lakers.

He performed very well in the Lakers. Now he is the Lakers' first scoring point and second rebounder, averaging 21.7 points and 8 rebounds per game, which is much higher than his status in the Suns.

In the evening, the two met in a western restaurant, eating and chatting.

Having dinner with Pharaoh, Ceballos seemed very happy and kept talking.

He excitedly said: "Old K, you know, playing in Los Angeles can really touch more of the world, I have been electrocuted, I received an invitation from Hollywood, and will participate in two basketball movies in 1995, one called Space Slam Dunk, a movie called Crazy Coach."

Lao Wang smiled and said, "Really, that's great. By the way, what are you playing in it? Are you playing that ball?"

Cerballos laughed: "Fuck you, haha! I have a lot of roles, but not that ball."

Pharaoh asked again, "Have you been singing recently?"

Ceballos nodded quickly and said: "I participated in some music radio shows in Los Angeles, and it felt great! Also, you know, WarrenG invited me to participate in his record recording, and I have several songs in it, you don't know me How excited, he is the hottest hip-hop king..."

"Great!" Old Wang laughed.

He could tell that the former music-loving teammate really enjoyed working and living in Los Angeles.

"Old K, I'm very likely to be selected as an All-Star this time. The Los Angeles Lakers have a lot of fans, and the team doesn't have any big-name stars. With their support, it's very possible." Ceballos said excitedly again.

Pharaoh thinks about it, the Lakers are a unique show in the Los Angeles sports world, and with their strong influence, it is really possible to push Ceballos into the All-Star.

Last time, the Suns also used the team's influence in Phoenix and Arizona, plus the influence of CAA, to push him to the starting position of the All-Star.

However, the competitive pressure he faces is much greater than that of Ceballos. He has to compete with two super centers. Ceballos' competitors do not have superstars, and it is easier to enter the All-Star.

"I hope that after this contract ends, I can sign a big contract, that's the best." Ceballos thought.

The four-year contract he just signed is only the first year, with a total of 9.01 million US dollars. The next contract will be four years later, but he is not yet 26 years old, and he will be less than 30 years old when the contract ends, and his condition should be ok. This desire should be achievable.

"That's for sure. You are the Lakers' first scoring point and second in rebounding. Who won't give you a big contract?" Pharaoh laughed.

"hope so."

Ceballos also nodded cheerfully.

But both of them were wrong. If the trajectory does not change, Ceballos will be sent away soon after the Lakers trade to O'Neal, return to the Suns to play for a year, and then wander in other teams for two years. 32 Leaving the NBA at the age of 2, went to Europe, and even played leagues in Russia and the Philippines, and his professional achievements did not make a name for himself.

The reason is that Ceballos, who is full of physical talent, once won the 1992 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, but he lacks technology and his offensive efficiency is not high. 45% of his offenses occur at the basket, but his shooting rate is only 55%. , The ability to shoot in the long distance is not good, the ability to make a pull-up jump shot is not good, and the defensive ability is not good, so no matter where you go, it is not valued by the team.

On the evening of the 30th, at 8:00, the two sides announced the starting list.

Lakers: Verratti Divac, Elden Campbell, Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel

Sun: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Elliott Perry

This game is not broadcast live in the United States, but it is on Saturday, and CCTV has a live broadcast.

After getting the starting list, Zhang Lili analyzed: "Divac has a certain ability to pull off, but he has no three-pointers, and no mid-to-long shot hit rate can reach 38% in any position, and Wang Tiejun's current mobility has increased. , his ability to pull away is no longer a threat to the Iron Army.

For now, the center who can really threaten the Iron Army, I mean the kind of space center who can pull away, that is, the Bulls' Clifford Robinson and a few others. "

Su Qun continued: "Lakers power forward Campbell has no three-pointer ability at all, but his mid-to-long-range shooting ability is stronger than Divac's, reaching 40.8% for the far two points and 42% for the near two points, which are quite high. Now, it's only one point in the middle, 36.3%."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "That's because of his height, 211 cm in height, plus his wingspan. With such a power forward, he pulls out to make long shots, it's really hard to defend.

However, the Suns have AC Green. He is also 206 cm tall. He doesn't suffer much, and his defense is good. The tonnage of the two is also close, both of which are in the early 100 kilograms. He should be able to guard Campbell. "

Su Qundao: "Other positions, Eddie Jones was a rookie in 1994. He played the main shooting back when he came in. He averaged 14 points per game and showed great potential."

Lao Zhang laughed and said: "It's not surprising that the No. 10 lottery pick has potential, but it's strange that there is no potential. It's Cebaroc, who surprised me. I didn't expect him to go to the Lakers. , actually became the Lakers' first scoring point."

"Then why did he suddenly become stronger? Did the Suns trade wrong?" Su Qun asked.

"It's not wrong, it's just a mismatch of tactics."

Lao Zhang then explained: "He mainly plays with breakthroughs, his shooting ability is not good, his ability to make stop-and-go jumpers is also average, and his offensive efficiency is not high enough, and the Suns have a Tiejun in the basket, so his breakthrough space is very small, so Having been limited, the Suns couldn't find a way to make him play, and ultimately had to trade him.

And he is on the Lakers, the Lakers center Divac is not the kind of center who has to occupy the space of the basket. He floats outside, so Ceballos has the breakthrough space, and the Lakers have the room to play and play well. The eye data is not surprising.

In a word, in the Suns, he was limited by his tactical style of play. In the Lakers, he benefited from his tactical style of play. He was a player with great tactical limitations, and he could only adapt to his tactics, but he did not have strong tactical adaptability. , this is his weakness, a big weakness. "

The two of them were talking, and they started the game.

At eight o'clock, the game officially started.

Pharaoh won the jump ball and the Suns attacked.

He entered the frontcourt without any haste, and went low from the left elbow to the left wing.

Because he hasn't reached the low post yet, Divac didn't go around and block the position between him and the basket.

At this moment, he suddenly accelerated, causing Divac to accelerate down, then suddenly stopped, then turned around and stuck the latter behind him at the left waist position in the paint area.

"Whoosh!"

Elliott Perry, who was outside, was two steps away from the top of the arc. He had been paying attention to Pharaoh's movements. At this time, he seized the opportunity and threw the ball in.

"Snapped!"

Divac, who was struggling with his left arm stuck behind, grabbed the ball firmly with his right hand, took a step forward, and flew towards the basket.

Babel on the weak side has been pulled out of the paint area by AC Green, and there is no time to return to defense.

"boom!"

One-armed ball smashed, Pharaoh completed a clean dunk.

"yeah!"

The blasting sound of the blasting basket immediately activated the adrenaline of countless Suns fans, and cheers sounded instantly.

Seventy seconds later, Pharaoh made a comeback, this time it was a ferocious attack from the low position on the left wing, but before he hit Divac, the actor flew out with a scream.

It's a pity that this is the home court of the Suns. Old K is not a rookie with little status in his rookie season. Now he is the number one MVP who is pressing on Jordan. Eligible to enjoy the star whistle, Divac's diving is not very easy on him.

As soon as Divac fell, the referee blew his whistle, then ran to him, hooked his finger at him, and motioned him to get up.

Divac got up nervously, and sure enough, the referee gave him a technical foul, one free throw, one free throw, and he was busy working in vain.

"Sir, I didn't dive, I..." He immediately explained innocently.

Pharaoh looks disgusting from one side, so let's just dive when diving. This is also a reflection of your defensive skills and acting skills, and it is part of your strength.

But if you eat a technical criminal, you have to recognize it. What a shit? Do you want the referee to change the offensive foul, or put pressure on the referee to give me a foul next time?

"Do you want me to break your bones? Or I'll do it for you tonight." He said to Divac angrily.

Divac was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the stern look in Old K's eyes, he couldn't help his heart skip a beat.

"Okay, Verratti, stop talking." Ceballos hurried over and pulled Divac away.

Seeing Pharaoh walking towards the free throw line, he pulled Divac and said: "Next time, don't use these methods on Old K, or else you will anger him. Under his full strength, your physique is really not enough for him to toss. "

Divac nodded dejectedly, without saying a word.

"boom!"

The tonnage difference between the two starting insiders of the Lakers is too much. In front of them, he is a real beast. In the following time, Pharaoh kept attacking at the basket, using the most powerful ones to sweep and wreak havoc on the Lakers. In the restricted area, with heavy dunks again and again, the Lakers' inside line was pale.

However, the Suns were at the No. 1 position and suffered a lot. Van Exel's strength was very good, and both Perry and rookie Parson were beaten.

Fortunately, Drexler stood up and broke out the strength of a superstar, scoring 35 points in a single game, helping the team to a victory.

The Suns won their 22nd game, 22-6, ending all games in 1994.

But there is a bad thing. Danny Manning was injured in the game. The injured part was his left knee that had undergone major surgery, where the cruciate ligament was ruptured.

In the end, No. 3 will challenge the Kings away. The Suns will start on No. 2, and No. 1 will have a holiday.
