NBA Backer King Chapter 263

   Chapter 263 All-Star Starter

"second?"

   His brows furrowed when he saw his name under Jordan again.

However, he can't control this kind of thing. In the 1992/93 season, Barkley's data was much worse than Jordan's. In the end, the Suns played the league's first record, and the MVP was still given to Barkley. Now his personal data is a little better, but the Suns The team's record is not as good as that of the Bulls, and no one knows what happened in the end.

   "We have a lot of injuries this season, and it's a bit difficult to surpass the Bulls in our record!"

   Thinking that the Bulls now have 4 more wins than the Suns, they need to increase their rotation after the All-Star team. This is difficult to catch up, and the gap is a bit big.

   At this time, the results of the All-Star voting began to be announced, and the East was announced first.

  Jordan once again became the league's All-Star vote king, with more than 2.2 million votes, far exceeding last year, which definitely shows the popularity of the NBA.

   Center position, O'Neal is 1.26 million, and Ewing has only more than 700,000. The former has become an All-Star starter for three consecutive seasons.

   Forward position, the new generation idol Grant Hill got 1.26 million votes, Pippen was overwhelmed and got 1.13 million votes, they will become the starting forward in the East.

In the guard position, in addition to Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway and Reggie Miller got 990,000 and 900,000 respectively. In the end, Penny Hardaway became the starting guard of the Eastern Conference All-Star. Whether Reggie Miller can enter the All-Star or not depends on the team owner. The coach's vote is up.

  West, the first announcement was the center position, and Pharaoh's eyes widened.

   In fact, it must be him, not only because this All-Star is in Phoenix, he has home field advantage, and his votes have always been ahead of the big dream and the general.

   Sure enough, then his name appeared in the first place with 1.43 million votes, Big Dream was second with 1.12 million votes, and David Robinson only had 104 votes, and he became the starting center of the Western Conference All-Star for the second consecutive season.

   Forward position, Barkley and Rain Man Kemp received 1.04 million and 102 votes respectively, becoming the Western Conference All-Star starting forward.

In the guard position, Sprewell and Tim Hardaway both won more than 860,000 votes and became the starting guard of the Western Conference All-Star.

   At this time, his cell phone was beeping non-stop. He opened it and looked at it. There were many text messages congratulating him on becoming an All-Star starter.

   Become an All-Star for the second time, the feeling of joy is not as good as last year, but still very happy.

   Subsequently, the league announced the list of 14 All-Star substitute players.

  East: Joe Dumars, Ewing, Mourning, Larry Johnson, Dana Barros, Wein Baker, Tyron Hill.

  West: Mitch Richmond, Karl Malone, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Detref Schramf, Gary Payton, John Stockton.

   "I X, David Robinson was selected as a striker as a backup?"

  Pharaoh was a little surprised, this was chosen by the coaches or arranged by the league, it's hard to say!

   On the evening of February 1st, the Lakers challenged the Suns.

  Pharaoh asked Colangelo for some tickets, and wanted to bring some cousins ​​into the American West Arena and invite them to watch the game.

   Colangelo said nothing, and directly gave him a fixed amount of fifteen tickets for each game, including two first-row tickets, three second-row tickets, and ten third-row tickets.

   This is the treatment of being the core leader of the team. In addition, Pharaoh's contract renewal is imminent, and it can be regarded as his favor to Pharaoh. Neither Kevin Johnson nor Barkley has received this kind of treatment.

   That night, the Suns defeated the Lakers at home and won their 31st game.

The next day, Pharaoh threw a big party at home, invited everyone in the team, including the management and coaching staff, to introduce Wang Tielong and their identities, and formally invited them to attend the martial arts gym on the 10th. 's opening ceremony.

   No. 3, the Suns won the Timberwolves again.

  On the 4th, Mosaic arrived in Phoenix. The second team will play the second regular season game of the season between the two teams on the 5th, and there will be two more games after that.

   At three o'clock in the afternoon, Pharaoh drove to the hotel to pick up Barkley and Da Meng, ready to take them to the martial arts hall.

   Along the way, Da Meng, who once again became Pharaoh's substitute, was very resentful, causing his mouth to keep talking.

   "Old K, if Arizona has three NBA teams, you can't get more votes than me."

   "Old K, if we switch teams, you won't even get half a million votes."

  “Old K…”

   Lao Wang got the benefit, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this slob.

   Came to the Binger Building, got out of the elevator, and opened the iron door. Next to it was a front desk that looked like a bar. Pharaoh pointed to the front desk and said to Barkley, "Brother, don't forget to pay and go through the formalities here on the opening day."

  Buckley's face twitched, old K, this martial arts gym, wouldn't it be a pit? Forget it, $100,000 in three years is not enough money.

   "Old K, what are the VIP services?" asked Da Meng.

   "The martial arts hall has a Chinese medicine hall, acupuncture, cupping, massage, medicated baths, all of them. For martial arts, there are too many. It can't be finished at a time. After you pay the money, I will give you more details." He said.

  Dameng is speechless, is this the first to pay the order before serving?

   "I tell you, all VIP programs are fee-based items, and the membership fee is just the membership fee, you don't have to worry, it's very cost-effective, and it's guaranteed to be worth the money." Lao Wang said.

   "Are all paid items?"

  Buckley and Big Dream nodded, the fee is good, cheap, the free one is the most expensive, they are more at ease.

After    introduced Wang Tielong and the others, Pharaoh left with the two of them.

   No. 5, match day.

   This morning, Pharaoh took a group of people to the street for shopping. Each person first bought a few clothes and shoes, and then went to the car shop to pick up three pickups.

   This is only for the martial arts hall. The leather is durable and suitable for the martial arts hall. Wang Tielong and the three of them are all scouts and can drive.

   "Brother, I want to go too." Liu Changjiang, who looked envious, sat in the back and shouted.

   "Yes, Tie Jun, I want to go too." Liu Changlong next to him shouted.

   "Learn, you can get started in a few days, just grab a temporary card and you can play." Old Wang smiled.

  At night, the Westside Arena was overcrowded.

   We were eliminated by Mosaic in the Western Conference finals last season, and we also lost the last away game. Sun fans hope that this powerful opponent can be defeated at home this time.

  Because there are free tickets, Wang Tielong and his party also came to the scene, and Tian Xiaofen also came to watch the game for the first time.

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

  Mosaic: Olajuwon, Barkley, Mario Elie, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith

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

   This match was broadcast live on CCTV, and was broadcast live by ABC TV in the United States.

  At the same time as the roster was announced, the bench began to warm up, and the team's staff were also working on the bench to do some preparatory work.

  Liu Changfeng prepared some ice packs, finished the task at hand, and came to the auditorium next to him with a smile. His wife Tian Xiaofen was sitting at the front, next to Wang Tielong, Wang Tieshu and others were in the back, ready to come over to chat a few words.

   But before he could speak, Tian Xiaofen pushed him away, while exhorting: "Changfeng, go do something, don't let anyone talk."

   "Ok, you eat popcorn, don't just sit." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

   He knew that his daughter-in-law was very concerned about his work, for fear that he would make a mistake outside, but now he has a firm foothold in the Suns, his skills are very popular, and he signed a three-year contract.

   Now Tiejun's martial arts gym is about to open. His wife has arranged a job in it, and he can also earn a sum of money. He plans to have a child in two years. With a child, this little life is all it takes.

   At this time, on the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Analyzing Mosaic's tactics from the starting list, it is obvious that they seem to have given up on the meat shield tactics."

Su Qun nodded and said: "Barkley is at the 4th position, Mario Eli plays a small forward, he is a swingman, 196 centimeters, 100 kilograms tonnage, still very fast, can shoot suddenly, there are One-handed three-pointer, the hit rate is nearly 40%.

  Team Mosaic should have arranged for him to double-team Lao K, Director Zhang, what do you think? "

  Old Zhang thought for a while and shook his head: "Drexler and Tiejun are on the same flank. With his pulling ability and Tiejun's passing ability, it is difficult for Mario Eli to defend in a low position in a timely manner.

   In my opinion, AC Green's ability to pull off is a little worse, and Barkley should play weak side defense, which should be Mosaic's main double-team strategy tonight. "

  Player channel, the starters of the two teams are chatting.

   "Charles, big dream, we'll get you all tonight, we're number one in the West." Old Wang shouted with his chin raised.

   "Old K, you are very good at dreaming." Da Meng sneered.

   "Brother, don't think too much." Barkley said with a smile.

   "The facts will prove who is the strongest team in the West." Pharaoh said confidently.

  Although he lost the Western Finals last time, he is now stronger both offensively and defensively, and his dominance in the low post has increased a lot, which is where his confidence lies.

   And in terms of lineup, there is an extra three-pointer Drexler. He has a lot of opportunities to single-play big dreams, which is also one of the sources of confidence.

   At half past eight, the game officially started.

  Pharaoh grabbed the ball before Da Meng and the Suns attacked.

  Wang Tiejun squeezed towards the basket, dreamed of defending, and resolutely did not let him get close to the basket.

   At the same time, everyone else pulled to the three-point line.

   Perry crossed the halfway line and gave the ball to Drexler, who handled it.

   Bill Walton said: "Without the Lightning, although the Glider and K have some organizational skills, the Suns' organizational skills have been affected.

   The role of the point guard is to organize the offense, distribute the ball to teammates, and make the team's offense more reasonable and balanced.

And now Drexler controls the ball, or the old K controls the ball inside. They are not pure point guards, so the first consideration is their own offense, not organizing teammates to attack. I don't know how to allocate it. The ball is their weakness. "

   nodded, John Hanks said: "This is like the Bulls back then, Jordan's attack power is stronger than now, but the Bulls just can't go far, why?

  Because the ball is in his hands, he is the first point of attack. His first consideration is his own offense, not organizing his teammates to attack. "

"Right, that is it."

   Bill Walton laughed: "When the ball and shots are concentrated in one person's hands, it will create an imbalance, and many times the offense is not reasonable enough.

   The reason why the Bulls won the championship is that Pippen grew up. He controlled the ball and allocated offense to his teammates, which made the Bulls' offense more reasonable, reduced unreasonable shots, and improved offense efficiency. "

"boom!"

   At this time, Drexler missed a shot, and Da Meng turned around to grab a backcourt rebound, and Mosaic attacked.

   Bill Walton said: "See no, that's it, old K was so wrapped up in Big Dream that Drexler thought he could single against Mario Eli, so he threw it himself.

   But Dan Marley had a good chance just now. Green gave him a pick-and-roll to get a small open position. Unfortunately, the glider did not see the opportunity on the weak side. "

  Mosaic advanced to the frontcourt, Da Meng and Barkley sank to the low flanks at the same time, the former was on the left, the latter was on the right, Mario Eli was on the left-wing three-point line, and Vernon Maxwell was on the right-wing three-point line.

  Kenny Smith gave the ball to Vernon Maxwell, who passed it on and Barkley backed AC Green.

  Pharaoh has returned to the basket, just one meter in front of the basket, staring at the right wing.

   He will not easily go over to help defend double-teams, because Barkley's passing is still good, as long as he passes, he may pass the ball to Da Meng.

  He just sits at the rim, guarding against the big dream behind him, allowing Barkley to shoot out of the paint, but not allowing him in.

   No matter how good Barkley is, even if he blows up Green, as long as he can't get in, his mid-range hit rate won't be that high. He can totally afford such a loss.

"brush!"

   Barkley double-dunked and hit the sideline with a signature rollover jumper.

   "Brother, why don't you come in for a stroll? Brother, I'm very hospitable." Pharaoh asked as he ran to the front.

   "Do you think shopping?"

Barkley rolled his eyes, thinking that Old K is not a good person, this is to cap him, he has to pass a few good balls, let Hakim dunk Old K, let him know that Big Brother is not so easy to bully .

   Entering the front court, Pharaoh suddenly accelerated and went straight to the basket.

  Dameng was half a beat slower, and immediately took a step forward, pulling from behind while watching to see if there was a ball coming in from behind.

   "Ouch!"

   Just when Da Meng was distracted, Lao Wang suddenly waved his arm and opened his pulling hand, causing him to cry out in pain.

"here."

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pharaoh quickly turned around and stuck the big dream behind him.

   "Whoosh!"

   This time, Perry was sharp-eyed and passed in time, and the ball flew to the basket.

  When the ball came, Dameng kept making small movements and was pulling behind him. Pharaoh pulled Dameng back with an elbow and received the ball smoothly. In the next instant, he suddenly turned to the right and made a turn to attack the basket.

  Da Meng reacted very quickly, and quickly moved half a step, blocking the front.

   But at this time, under the bear step, between his feet, Lao Wanghua moved to rely on punching, and Tieshan's leaning punch exploded in an instant, and his right shoulder slammed into the back.

   "Damn!"

  Ju Li put his upper body up, and Da Meng scolded him secretly. His upper body instantly fell back, and his feet also took two small steps to stabilize. At this time, the sky above his head was already shrouded in a shadow.

"boom!"

  Pharaoh smashed with one arm, blasting the basket of Big Dream.

"yeah!"

  Pharaoh's first goal tonight dunked the super center Dameng, and the audience immediately cheered.

   "Big dream, isn't it cool?"

   He stood in front of the big dream and asked jokingly.

   "Go away!"

  Da Meng wanted to go around, but he wouldn't let him.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle rang, pointing to the big dream.

  Da Meng was stunned, looking at the referee with his hands spread out, what should I do?

   The referee made a foul gesture, and his face turned red with anger.

   Lao Wang laughed so hard that his face was rotten by the side, and he approached Da Meng and whispered proudly: "Look, this is the star whistle. Remember, you can't touch me again."

  Da Meng took a deep breath, this is the away game, I endured it.

   "Actually, this violation is not wrong, the big dream really pushed people." Zhang Lili laughed at this time.

   "Well, yes, old K is a normal defense, that's right." Su Qun laughed.

   In the 8th minute of the first quarter, the score of the two sides rose alternately, and the Suns led by 2 points. At this time, Danny Manning came off the bench and Green went off to rest.

  Mosaic attacked, and Da Meng got the ball in the low position on the left wing. He swayed up, down, and up, and down again, and the old Wang behind him was about to come out, and he felt faint.

But the shaking of the big dream was not over yet, it was still shaking, and he received another upswing, and then rushed in from the old Wang who had completely lost his position, and completed a shot on the head of Danny Manning, who was returning to the defense. dunks.

   "Boy, you are no different from two years ago, you are still a stake." After he succeeded, Da Meng spat out trash talk.

  Pharaoh also had to admire Da Meng's balance and flexibility. He was shaken a few times, and his sense of balance and direction was lost. Fortunately, his feet didn't move much, otherwise he would have broken his ankles and sprained his knees.
