NBA Backer King Chapter 276

Chapter 276 John, we are together forever!

"Shit!"

At noon, in the restaurant of the Bulls' training base, Jordan, who was about to eat lunch, saw Kareem's interview on TV. He was very annoyed by what Kareem said about the Suns' psychological advantage over the Bulls in the finals.

Winning him once in the finals will give him a psychological advantage. What logic is this? Sky hook, has your brain been devoured by brain-eating worms?

"The Lakers are really shameless in order to seduce Old K!" he scolded.

"If the Lakers get the old K, their financial resources are much stronger than the Suns, and they will definitely create a championship-level lineup." Pippen said worriedly.

Phil Jackson explained at this time: "Don't worry about this, the current Suns are strong enough, even if the Lakers get the old K, they should not be able to match the current Suns in a short period of time.

Because they want the old K, they must pay a huge price. The Suns can't let them go empty-handed. "

Jordan and Pippen nodded, agreeing with this statement, the management of the Suns is not a fool, it is impossible to give the old K to the Lakers for nothing, and the Lakers cannot get the old K with only one big contract.

Phil Jackson thought about it and said, "Old K will most likely enter the free market this year, and next year it will be O'Neal's turn. These two behemoths will make huge waves in the free market. It is best for Old K to stay in the West, and O'Neal next year. Go to the west too and let them fight to the death in the west, so we will have less pressure in the east."

"I don't care about that kid O'Neal. It's not a problem for our lineup to blow them up. If the Suns can sweep the Jazz, we can sweep the Magic." Jordan said.

Philjack also smiled without refuting.

What he admires most is Jordan. He never admits defeat. The more crucial the game is, the more explosive it is and the stronger the control over the game. People like Jordan are born for big scenes.

However, it reminded him of the old K of the Suns.

That kid, from the beginning of his rookie season, his performance in the playoffs was much better than in the regular season, and his performance in the finals was particularly good. He was also a strong-willed guy who could play key games. Michael ran into him when he was defending his dynasty. He was really unlucky.

And this year's chance to defend the title, he thought of this, and his brows could not help frowning.

I have analyzed the situation where the Bulls and the Suns meet in the finals countless times. No matter how you analyze it, the Bulls have no greater advantage.

Drexler's joining the Suns will have a great impact on the Bulls. He will largely contain the defensive power of Jordan and Pippen, and the pressure on Lightning Kevin Johnson will be released. The Bulls want to completely lock The outside line of the Dead Suns is very difficult.

Even if the Lightning is locked, both the glider and the old K have a certain organizational ability. It should be impossible for the Bulls to completely destroy the organizational function of the Suns, and it is impossible to support a long-term high-intensity defense with limited physical strength.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, trying to relieve the pressure in his heart in this way.

Unfortunately, with the exhalation, the pressure came back again.

At noon that day, Jazz veteran Donaldson announced his retirement in the hospital, and then the Jazz announced that backup striker Adam Fecky had entered the 12-man roster.

In the evening, the second round of the East continued.

The game between the Bulls and the Pacers started first. At ten o'clock, the Bulls lost their second home game and were equalized by the Pacers, 96:93, losing only three points.

Jordan missed his last three-pointer and failed to tie the game at the last minute.

He scored 30 points in this game, but his shooting percentage was only 45%, slightly lower than the first round and previous performances.

Although Reggie Miller was not as hot as playing in this game, he continued to perform well. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and scored 19 points in the game.

The Pacers team made a total of 9 three-pointers, and the Pacers team blossomed everywhere. Although none of them scored 20+, there were 6 people who scored 10+. They played a very collective game, proving that there is no Superstars can beat Jordan's Bulls too.

The Bulls and the Pacers were tied, and the Magic and the Knicks game also ended, and the Knicks finally won two.

O'Neal was not as efficient as G1, but in the five starters, Penny Hardaway and Cobra Grant both scored 20+ points, and Nick Anderson also scored 16 points. Relying on the explosion of the main players, they defeated the Knicks.

In terms of the Knicks, Ewing was affected by injury and played only 26 minutes in this game, with 15 points and 4 rebounds, which was disappointing.

No. 10, the media made various fancy evaluations of the two games.

There are also various criticisms of Jordan. Some think he missed a key shot, and some think he didn't do his best on the defensive end.

But Ewing helped Jordan attract media fire because Ewing was so poor.

The media ignored Ewing's injury and focused only on his performance.

In fact, Ewing only played 30 minutes in Game 1, and the injury has occurred since then.

But anyway, as the core of the Knicks, Ewing did not play the performance expected by the team and fans, which is really disappointing.

"The Suns stole old K from New York, now it's time to bring him back."

The New York Sports News published an article on the front page of the headlines, publicly suggesting that the Knicks management trade Ewing, the goal is the old K.

"These **** media!" When Ewing saw these contents, the anger in his heart could almost be ignited with a lighter.

It's a pity that he is always silent, no matter how angry he is, he can only keep it in his heart and won't talk about it with anyone.

"I don't want to go to New York. The boss of my team is booing. That kind of place is not worthy of me." Pharaoh expressed disdain after seeing it.

When he was playing away at Madison Square Garden, he personally witnessed Ewing being booed by the home fans. It must have been very uncomfortable. No wonder Ewing had a dead skin on his face all day long and never talked to Knicks fans. interactive.

Rest in the morning and come to the team for adaptive training in the afternoon.

In the evening, at the Westside Arena, the lights were brilliant, and the G2 battle between the Suns and the Jazz started. At 7:30, the two sides announced the starters.

Sir: Karl Malone, Tom Chambers, David Bennott, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton

Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

On the ESPN commentary booth, Oldman said: "Veteran Donaldson has retired. The Jazz has no real center. The Postman must face old K from the beginning. I think he will be under a lot of pressure."

Partner Luo Lin nodded and said, "The postman opened his chest to the media at the press conference..."

"Puff!"

Hearing Rollin's description, Oldman couldn't help laughing.

Luo Lin himself laughed, and then said: "We can see that he was greatly traumatized in the direct confrontation with the old K.

Old K's terrifying force relied on beatings, causing a large area of blood stasis on the postman's chest. If it wasn't for the fact that the postman was too strong, I'm afraid no one would be able to fight against Old K for that long.

Although the postman lost the game, I have to admire him, because even the three super centers are avoiding such a strong confrontation with the old K. "

Oldman analyzed: "It should be the order of Jerry Sloan, that is a tough head coach. Old K's current mobility is already very good, better than the postman, if the postman does not have a hard top, it can't be defended at all. Old K."

"But the effect of hard defense is not good. Look at the efficiency of old K in the G1 battle. The postman can't defend against old K at all without relying on double teams." Luo Lin said.

"What about double-teaming?" Oldman asked.

Rollin thought for a while and said: "The postman's hard top and double-teaming are definitely useful, but with the passing and assisting ability of Old K, the Jazz will also pay a great price."

At eight o'clock, the game officially started.

Jump ball, Pharaoh gets the ball first, and the Sun strikes first.

"Postman, come on, let's continue." Pharaoh dropped the left wing and roared at the postman after taking the ball.

"Are you afraid of you?" The postman didn't show any signs of weakness, he raised his chest and pushed up.

"Boom!"

responded to the postman with a ferocious iron mountain from Pharaoh.

There is no trick, the body fat rate of the two is not as high as that of O'Neill, there is not much reduction in the fat layer, and the competition between the pure muscles and bones.

The collision of power seems to produce sparks, the heavy impact sound and the impact picture, the invisible sparks are instantly transmitted to the eyes of countless people along the sound waves and vision, and their adrenaline is soaring in an instant, and their breathing stops. , his eyes fixed on the basket.

"Hold on!" Old Zhang said in surprise at the CCTV live broadcast booth.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, Wang Tiejun's second attack followed.

At this moment, the postman's front foot suddenly retreated.

"Oops!"

Lao Zhang's eyes widened.

"Snapped!"

Under the opponent's withdrawal, Wang Tiejun's left shoulder and back hit the postman's left chest, but it didn't hit the ground at all.

It's just that his low-position back-playing skills are really good, and he has a strong sense of rhythm. The postman did not fully achieve the effect of evacuating, and he was still bumped. With some reaction force, his center of gravity was not completely lost.

But at this time, when the postman was riding his ball a little out of control, he suddenly went up and made a steal. At the same time, taking this opportunity, the small forward David Bennott also rushed down and implemented a double-team, which made him a little panicked. , and eventually the ball was snatched by Bennott.

"Old K made a mistake, and now the Jazz counterattack, but the Suns retreated quickly and turned into a positional battle." Oldman said quickly in the ESPN commentary.

"The postman is still more experienced. Carry it once and withdraw it once, let's see how old K will deal with it?" Luo Lin said with a smile.

"Occasionally a mistake is fine. Old K's low post back play is not so easy to defend. Big Dream and the three super centers often vacate when they are single against Old K, but they still can't handle Old K." Oldman laughed.

The Jazz pulled inside and out, and the Suns' penalty area was emptied. At this time, with the help of a pick-and-roll, Jeff Hornacek cut inside without the ball, received John Stockton's ball, and hit a layup.

Pharaoh and Green returned to the basket and were already a step behind.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Today, the postman's defense has changed a little bit, it's more flexible, it's not just a dead end, which shows that the Tiejun really made him suffer in the game the day before yesterday.

Let's not care about the mistake made by the Iron Army just now. We should look at this issue from another angle, that is, the postman is dodging the strong confrontation with the Iron Army.

This is good news, when he loses his toughness on the defensive end, the iron army's strong attack can be most effective. "

Sun attack.

Pharaoh still sits low on the left wing and asks for the ball again.

"Come again!"

When the ball was still flying over, he shouted in a deep voice.

"Boom!"

responded to him with the impact of the postman.

But he didn't hit him, the ball fell into his right hand, and the left elbow pressed out against the postman. At the same time as the card position, his offense started immediately.

"Squeak!"

With the rubbing sound of the sneakers, he turned and slipped down. Under the bear step, his body was also in a state of switching between moving and hitting.

As he turned and slipped, the postman immediately retreated.

At this time, he thought of what Jerry Sloan reminded him last time, that Old K was very good at fighting opponents who were in a state of movement, so he also became more energetic.

But even though he was extra careful, he was bumped by Pharaoh.

As soon as Wang Tiejun turned around, he noticed that his opponent was retreating, and immediately stepped forward with a bear step. The moment he quickly approached the opponent, his feet froze, and the six forces became one, and Tieshan broke out by hitting.

"Boom!"

There is plenty of room for power, this shot released a very powerful force, and the impact sound was particularly heavy.

"Damn, was knocked flying again?"

The postman didn't have much strength to fight, he groaned while moving, and his upper body leaned back sharply, then turned back, his feet were knocked off the floor, it could be said that he was knocked into the air. .

"Boom!"

When he hit the floor, he saw the **** old K fly over him.

"boom!"

Under the one-arm dunk, the basket was also smashed three times.

"yeah!"

The audience exploded, and countless people stood up and shouted.

In a hotel in New York, O'Neal stared at the TV in a daze.

He suffered a lot and was knocked over by Pharaoh's move. He couldn't understand how Lao K did it. He was clearly slipping and moving. Fighting strength, how did you exert strength at that moment?

"Is it Kung Fu?"

The moment I thought about it, I couldn't hold it back anymore. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it should be like this.

Actually, he just hadn't noticed it. Pharaoh told the media during his rookie season that his power-relying skills came from martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have to guess here.

"Would you like to join the K martial arts hall?"

When he thinks of this, he regrets it again. It's only $30,000 a year, and he has a contract for sneakers of tens of millions of dollars. He shouldn't have been so stingy with K. I ran away, no, I ate too much and left a few stinky farts. Would it be a little embarrassing to join the martial arts gym now?

Mexican Arena, the game continues.

"Boom! Boom!"

Less than two meters away from the basket, Pharaoh got the ball and was double-teamed, knocked down the postman and knocked off Tom Chambers.

After getting the space to get up, he actually jumped up, pressing the postman under him, pressing his left hand on the postman's face, and smashing the ball with his right hand.

"Damn!"

The postman's face was held down, he couldn't get up at all, he wanted to pull Old K down in anger, but it was too late.

"boom!"

In the next instant, the Jazz's basket was blown up, and the postman was knocked over by Wang Tiejun.

Boom!

The cheers of the audience erupted, and the atmosphere of the Suns team was completely burned under the forced dunk at the basket.

"Separate the button! Old K separated the postman! The postman is struggling, but he can't do anything!" A live commentator shouted excitedly.

"Surrender, postman, if you want the championship, come and hug K's thigh, he will let you do it." Another live commentator joked loudly.

"Haha..." All the Suns fans laughed.

"boom!"

The angry postman punched the floor.

"Go hug O'Neal's thigh, I don't have a place for you here, forever." Pharaoh next to him laughed.

"asshole!"

The postman was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he got up and shouted at the back of Pharaoh: "Damn boy, I'd rather have no crown in my life than hug anyone's thigh, forever!"

"Carl, ignore that stinky boy, we will always be together, we will definitely win the championship." John Stockton ran over and said.

"Yes, John, we will always be together."

The postman stared at the old brother and said affectionately, the relationship between the two was overflowing.

"click, click..."

After the bottom line, hundreds of media reporters were pressing their shutters.
