NBA Backer King Chapter 286

   Chapter 286 Ways to beat the Bulls

  12:6, the Suns attack.

   Westphal frowned a little.

   He is not worried about Mosaic, playing Mosaic, he is still very confident, he is worried about the Bulls and the finals.

  The Suns are somewhat similar to the Magic. They both have a giant beast. Once the giant beast is pulled out, and the inside loses the biggest basket protector, how can the opponent rush in to defend?

  Mosaic doesn't have a good outside line, Barkley can get in, the Bulls don't have Barkley, but there is a more terrifying Jordan + Pippen. Once the old K can't return to defense, he will be passive and can only rely on other positions to make up defense.

"boom!"

   At this time, Drexler shot Mario Elie's head, the ball missed and bounced high.

  On the left side of the basket, the big dream was inside, and Wang Tiejun, who was stuck outside, was about to take off, when a huge force came from behind, his center of gravity was lost, and he jumped up and did not jump up.

"damn it!"

   He cursed secretly, knowing that it was bad.

"boom!"

   The next moment, the giant beast vacated behind him and slammed into his back, causing him to stagger forward, and then there was a sound of blasting baskets above his head.

   "Beautiful! Old K completed a wonderful dunk on Da Meng's head." Bill Walton roared excitedly.

   "Look carefully, Old K has a close-fitting force in the back, and it is this force that prevents the big dream from jumping up." John Hanks said.

   "Yes, the ability to exert force in this close-fitting state is the unique technology of old K." Bill Walton laughed.

   The two of them were right. Just now, Wang Tiejun was hit by a close-fitting iron mountain, and the big dream was not able to jump up.

  Dameng said as he ran to the frontcourt: "Old K, I'm going to the K martial arts gym to learn your kind of sparring during the offseason. You seem to have said that this is a kind of martial arts."

   Old Wang rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "This is real kung fu, and non-true disciples cannot learn it. K martial arts hall does not sell this kind of martial arts class."

   "Can't learn? Believe it or not, I'll sue you for fraud?" Da Meng said angrily.

   "Believe it or not, I stopped your VIP qualification?" Lao Wang said.

  "..." Da Meng was really angry.

   "Now I have a large number of VIP customers. In order to avoid capital enemies, I will not expand VIP customers in the alliance in the future." Pharaoh said proudly.

   "You're a big bastard!" Da Meng cursed.

   After the first quarter, at 34:26, the Suns led by 8 points away.

   On Mosaic's side, Da Meng was responsible for pulling away Wang Tiejun. Barkley played the main attack. After 10 minutes of play, he made 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points, which was Mosaic's first scoring point.

  Dameng played the whole quarter and made few shots. He made 2 of 5 shots and scored only 4 points. There were no free throws. His 5 offenses were all jump shots outside the paint area.

   The two major inside shots and points accounted for most of the team, and there were not many outside shots.

   On the Suns side, Wang Tiejun didn't have the main attack, he was mainly playing on the outside. The Suns had an overall advantage on the outside.

  Kevin Johnson made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points.

   Dan Marley made 2 of 3 shots and scored 4 points.

   Drexler made 3 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points.

  Wang Tiejun made 2 of 3 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 6 points.

   Green went 0-for-2 from the field and didn't score.

   On the ABC TV commentary booth, Bill Walton analyzed: "In contrast, the Suns' perimeter advantage is obvious, and it basically blows up the Mosaic perimeter."

John Hanks said: "The three main outsiders of the Suns made 8 of 14 shots, with a shooting rate of 57.1%, including four fast breaks, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points. The efficiency is very good. The Mosaic team's three major A total of 3 of 9 shots from the outside, 1 of 2 free throws, and only got 7 points, which is too much."

Bill Walton added: "In terms of rebounding, Big Dream + Barkley did not have an advantage in fighting against the old K + AC Green. The rebounding comparison was 12:11, and the Mosaic team only had one more. In terms of mistakes, Mosaic had 6 single quarters. The Suns have only two mistakes. In terms of shots, Mosaic has two fewer shots than the Suns.”

  John Hanks said: "In terms of overall shooting percentage, although Barkley mainly played low and had good efficiency, the Suns were two percentage points higher, and with the shot, they were ahead by 8 points.

   Note that this is still the case when the old K has no main attack. Once he exerts power in the low position, the situation of the Mosaic team will immediately become more serious. "

   Bill Walton guessed: "If Mosaic can't regain the disadvantage, I estimate that the old K will not exert too much force in the Western Finals."

  John Hanks was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It is also possible that he can blow up the opponent with the outside line, and his physical fitness can indeed be preserved to prepare for the finals."

But they guessed wrong. Wang Tiejun started the main attack from the second quarter. He made 6 of 9 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 16 points in a single quarter. Laid the foundation for the victory of the G1 war.

   In the third quarter, Wang Tiejun took a strong position in the low post, compressed the opponent's defense, opened up space for the outside line, and responded to the ball in the low post. The three outside lines shot again, leading by 25 points in three quarters, and then Mosaic gave up the game.

   In the end, 92:112, the Suns led by 20 points and won the G1 battle very smoothly.

  Wang Tiejun scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls in 31 minutes in the third quarter.

   There are not many shots against the big dream. Today, it is mainly Barkley, who has a greater advantage in playing AC Green.

   Big Dream made 8 of 17 shots, 47% from the field, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points.

Barkley made 15 of 27 shots, 55.5% from the field, 2 of 3-pointers, 6 of 10 free throws, and scored 36 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls. All-round data, the offensive efficiency is higher than before. .

   After the game, Pharaoh saw that Da Meng was a little frustrated, and went up to comfort him: "Da Meng, don't be sad, it's normal for you to lose to us."

   Speaking of this, the conversation changed: "But you who scored 14 points have the face to win the MVP? Is it the weakest MVP in history?"

  The big dream is torn apart. Damn it, it doesn't count if you win, and you want to stab me?

   "Let's go, let's go! Old K, you go for an interview, the reporter is waiting for you." Buckley quickly inserted between the two to prevent the two from arguing.

   "Brother, don't leave in a hurry, in order to celebrate the victory, let's have a drink together later." Pharaoh greeted Barkley.

   Buckley smiled wryly.

   "Old K, are you going?"

  Dameng blows his beard and stares, his fists clenched.

"Ha ha…"

   made fun of Da Meng and Barkley, and then Pharaoh turned around to accept a live interview with reporters.

   "Old K, the Suns beat Mosaic, what do you think is the most important reason?" asked a reporter from ABC TV.

   "Their advantage on the inside is less than the disadvantage on the outside, and the inside needs the support of the outside, and there is no way to rely on themselves to expand their advantages. This is the most important reason." Lao Wang smiled.

   "Do you really think you can sweep the mosaic?" the reporter asked again.

   "With this mosaic of the G1 battle, they could not avoid the result of being swept away." Pharaoh laughed.

   "If you reach the finals, do you think you can beat the Bulls?" The reporter finally asked.

"We have a psychological advantage over the Bulls in the finals. I think our winning percentage is higher. Although their perimeter is strong, they cannot form an absolute advantage over our perimeter. I can form an absolute advantage over them in the low post. I will definitely defeat them and win the championship." Wang Tiejun said very confidently.

   "Bah!"

In a conference room at the Chicago Bulls headquarters, Phil Jackson turned off the TV, turned to face Jordan and others, and said solemnly: "What he said is right, but not entirely right, I believe our outside line, Have the defensive energy to overwhelm them on the perimeter, what do you think?"

   "Of course."

Jordan stood up with absolute paranoia on his face, staring fiercely at all his teammates with bright and sharp eyes, and said very firmly: "We will definitely cut off their internal and external connections, destroy their organizational functions, and then use our Attack to destroy them, this time we must defend the title, must!" When he said the last, he almost roared.

  The tyrant-like aura carried endless tyranny and swept everyone in this conference room, even Pippen was suppressed by his powerful aura.

  No. 24, the Bulls took advantage of the home field to win the Magic in a row and won two consecutive victories.

Magic is not bad at playing, but he played quite well, completely dominated the opponent on the offensive end, shooting 15 of 20 from the field, the shooting rate was as high as 75%, 6 of 18 free throws, and scored 36 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 Powerful stats for caps.

  The vast majority of offenses occurred at the basket, and the percentage of offenses at the basket was as high as 85%. The Bulls couldn't stop him at all, and he was beaten to a rout.

   But on the defensive end, the Magic coaching staff asked him to go out, which killed him. He ran back and forth, tired to death, but the effect was not good. The Magic's restricted area was smashed by Jordan and Pippen.

Jordan and Pippen jointly contributed 63 points. At the same time, in the perimeter defense, the top perimeter combination in league history sent a total of 6 steals, forcing the Magic to make 14 mistakes on the perimeter. They used the extreme performance on both ends of the offense and defense to explode. magic.

  The Bulls won two consecutive victories, which made the American media optimistic about the Bulls' title defense. Even if the Suns beat the Mosaic, it could not prevent the media from improving the Bulls' chances of winning the championship.

  ESPN adjusted the Bulls' championship probability on the 25th, from 55% to 60%, while the Suns' 35% championship probability dropped to 30%.

  ESPN gave its own explanation: "The Magic is similar to the Suns in both lineup and tactical style. If the Bulls can beat the Magic, they can also beat the Suns.

  Once K, whose athletic ability is worse than O'Neal's, is pulled out, the Suns' penalty area will become a no-man's land, where Jordan and Pippen can do whatever they want.

   On the offensive end, the Suns' perimeter is likely to be locked by the Bulls' perimeter. Old K cannot be supported in the low post. The only use of his energy is to use self-explosion. "

   "Fuck your self-destruction!"

  In the hotel room, Pharaoh scolded, went up and slammed the TV switch.

Can    magic be compared to the sun? He has a very clear understanding of this, and will never look down on himself.

The Suns have an extra glider on the outside. It's impossible for the Bulls to lock the three outside lines of the Suns. After the outside lines are greatly opened on the wings, it is difficult for Jordan and Pippen to complete the double-team. Possibly locked, as long as the ball can get in, he can blow the Bulls inside.

   But he can't think highly of himself, because it is difficult for the Suns to defend against the Bulls' offense.

  It is still very difficult for the Suns to win the Bulls. This Bulls team is stronger than the Bulls in the two-peat era, stronger inside, and stronger than Jordan.

   However, it's not impossible, as long as he can kill the Bulls' inside line, isn't it just two inside lines that are floating outside? Kill them, what is left of the bull? As long as one bruises, does the Bulls still have the capital to open up tactics?

   At noon, the New York Knicks held a media conference to announce the news that the team signed a contract with the old Nelson, and the old Nelson joined the Knicks.

   Old Nelson coached the Warriors for seven seasons. Last season, because of his relationship with the No. 1 overall pick Webber, Webber went to the Bullets. He was eventually fired by the Warriors.

   That night, the G2 game of the Western Conference finals started, and the starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged. After three quarters, 85:85, the two teams tied.

Barkley continued to attack in the low post. He had an advantage against AC Green. He scored 21 points in three quarters and hit 49%, which was not as good as the previous game, but it was also in line with his average performance in the playoffs. He played in the first two rounds. The series averaged 50 percent from the field.

Dameng increased his shots today, but he didn't make many shots to the basket. First, he used Wang Tiejun's defensive strategy of preventing breakthroughs but not shooting to get some space for shots. Second, after pulling out, he used Wang Tiejun to return to the basket. to get some vacancies.

   It's just that the Suns strengthened their defense today, and Drexler was responsible for him, and his efficiency was not very high.

   A total of 7 of 15 shots in the three quarters, with a shooting rate of 46.6%, although not bad, but lower than the 53% shooting rate in the first two rounds, plus 3 of 4 free throws, scored 17 points.

   The two teamed up and contributed 38 points, but this is not the reason why Mosaic can tie with the Suns. The most important reason is that Mosaic replaced the backup point guard alien Sam Cassell.

This ugly guy used his back to make Kevin Johnson lose face. After 21 minutes in three quarters, he made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 15 points 2 Rebounded, 3 assists, and stole Kevin Johnson twice, sabotaging the Suns' offense several times.

   In addition, the Suns' perimeter feel is not as good as playing today, Wang Tiejun did not attack with all his strength in the low position, so he was tied by the Mosaic team.

  Zhang made a reasonable analysis: "Tie Jun made 7 of 11 shots and 6 of 11 free throws in 30 minutes in the third quarter. Now he has 20 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

   Today, he is still mainly doing the job of assisting and scoring the ball in the low post, rebounding and controlling the ball, and defending, and he does not invest much on the offensive end. "

  Suqun said: "Should he be the main attack in the last quarter? Without his efficiency in the low post, the Suns' overall shooting rate is much lower than Mosaic today.

   Fortunately, Old K's rebounding and defense are also good. He has blocked two big dreams and two Barkleys, otherwise he will fall behind. "

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "He's definitely going to hit the last quarter. In addition, the glider performed well today, scoring 24 points. His scoring efficiency is a little worse than Barkley's, with only a 45% hit rate. It's not his score, The Suns are already behind."

   The last quarter began at this time, and both sides sent their entire main lineup.

  The Suns take the lead.

   Buzzing, the home fans began to cheer for the team, and the huge noise wave after wave caused a lot of psychological pressure on the visiting team.

  Kevin Johnson took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Cassell forced it up, and glanced at the ugly face in front of him, and a thought that he couldn't bear to witness came to him.

   "The Ugly Star..."

   He wanted to speak some rubbish, but as soon as he said it, he realized that he was wrong.

   "What did you say?" Cassel said angrily.

  Although I'm a second grader, you can't make personal attacks like this, right?

   "Whoosh!"

   At this time, Kevin Johnson passed the ball in, and Cassell didn't react when he was angry.

   In the low post, Wang Tiejun came out of the basket, suddenly made a reverse run, and cut to the basket again. At this time, the ball came in, and he flew straight up.

"boom!"

   Under the dunks, thousands of away fans cheered instantly.

   "Sorry, Sam, if I said I was wrong, would you accept it?" Kevin Johnson said sincerely to Cassell.

"Humph!"

   Cassel turned his head angrily.

  What can he do, standing in front of the league's top point guard, he is a second year without human rights.

   "Kevin, what did you say wrong?" Pharaoh ran by and asked casually.

   Kevin Johnson was about to answer, when he saw Cassell's murderous look, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say anything."

   Cassell took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, swearing in his heart that he would hit a lightning strike to avenge the ugly star who called him just now.

   He didn't go to the top of the arc, but came to the right flank, turned around, and started hitting Kevin Johnson in the back.

   He was watching the weak side while playing lightning from his back. If Old K returned to the penalty area, he would immediately pass the ball to Da Meng, and he passed several **** like this in the first three quarters.

   This kind of cross ball can directly break the Suns' defense line. Even if the old K returns to defend Dameng, Dameng misses a shot, Barkley is under the basket, and offensive rebounds are also guaranteed.

Sure enough, when he arched the lightning and advanced two steps inward, he saw that Old K began to shrink towards the penalty area. There was an open space in Da Meng, and he quickly pulled the ball from the floor and made a wide cross. Passed to the weak side.

   "Dream!"

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun, who was shrinking towards the restricted area, rushed forward quickly.

   But instead of returning to his big dream, he threw up. Cassell's cross-passing line was just two meters away, and he was ready to steal the ball.

"Snapped!"

   took a step up and jumped up, his big hand instantly cut into the passing line, and the ball was successfully intercepted.

   "Damn!"

   Cassell hated himself for not estimating the distance between the passing line and the old K before passing the ball.

   "Beautiful! Old K actually broke Cassell's pass to Da Meng, it's unbelievable!" Bill Walton shouted in surprise.

  The Suns played a fast break. Drexler received a pass from Wang Tiejun and went to the basket from the right wing. When he made a three-step layup, Da Meng chased after him.

   As a 213 cm center, it is amazing that Da Meng can complete the chase when the opponent is playing a fast break.

   Of course, this is also related to his position. He was almost on the three-point line just now, and the distance to defense is shorter, which is faster than returning to defense from a low position.

"Snapped!"

   Under the big hand, the ball bounced off the board and flew over the head of the big dream.

"yeah!"

  The exciting chasing hats, the audience flashed.

   But the next moment, the boiling cheers in the Compaq Center stopped abruptly.

   A giant beast rushed in, lifted off from behind the big dream, grabbed the rebounding basketball with both hands, and smashed it forward.

   "Boom!"

   Just finished the big dream of chasing the hat, and before he could turn around, he was directly knocked forward and fell to the floor, in a state of embarrassment.

"boom!"

   Almost at the same time, the Mosaic team's basket was blown up, and a giant beast hung on the basket, floating as the basket rose.

"yeah!"

   This time it was the Suns fans' turn to cheer.

"awesome!"

  Su Qun cheered and roared excitedly: "Old K has also kept up with the fast-break rhythm, he is only one step behind the big dream..."

   "It won't be much slower, because the big dream is ahead, he can't pass, I think the speed of the iron army is still under control." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

   "Hakim, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Da Meng was lying on the floor and didn't get up, Buckley rushed up.

   "Won't you knock out the big teeth?" Old Wang teased.

"asshole!"

   Big Meng, who was lying on his stomach, jumped up in anger when he heard that, where was he injured?

   obviously sent a chase cap that boosted morale, but he was blocked in a blink of an eye. Not only did he fail to improve his morale, but his own morale was suppressed. This kind of depression is really indescribable.

  Mosaic attack.

   Big Dream still pulled it out and pulled Wang Tiejun out.

  Cassel didn't give up, and when he saw the old K shrink, he passed the ball again.

   This time, he paid attention to the position of old K and avoided the risk of being broken.

   But this time, Wang Tiejun did not return to the big dream, but directly returned to the basket.

   At the same time, Drexler, the glider outside the three-point line on the right wing, pounced on the big dream two steps away, implemented a supplementary defense, and emptied the small forward Mario Eli.

  Dameng catches the ball, and the glider is already in front of him. Should he throw it himself, or pass it to Mario Eli? He chose to pass the ball to the open.

"Oops!"

   But when he was passing the ball, he saw another person in front of Mario Eli, and Kevin Johnson at the top of the arc made up for the defense.

  Mario Eli receives the ball and can only force a shot.

   He is a swingman of front and guard, 196 cm, and Kevin Johnson, who plays 185 cm, still has a dislocated height advantage.

  Unfortunately, as a standard role player, this shot was missed.

"boom!"

  The ball was a little shorter and bounced off the basket.

  At the basket, Wang Tiejun and AC Green dealt with Barkley alone. He stuck his right elbow, pushed Barkley away, and grabbed the rebound with one hand.

  Although Barkley is a rebounding monster, he is seriously not tall enough in front of Pharaoh, and he has no jumping ability at his peak. He can't grab Pharaoh, who is also excellent in rebounding skills, and his strength tonnage is not enough.

   He couldn't help sighing in his heart, thinking that old K's rebounding was taught by him, and he really taught the apprentice to play the master!
