NBA Backer King Chapter 359

   Chapter 359 Battle against New Sharks

  Pharaoh is doing acupuncture with Kevin Johnson and Drexler. The glider arrived here the day before yesterday and has been doing acupuncture for two days.

"Old K, I envy you so much, the owner of the Suns traded Barkley for you, and the Lightning also helped you with all his strength. See what the magic is doing to me now? That **** rookie can't wait to climb on my head and shit. **** and management ignores me."

   "Old K, let me come to the sun, go to magic, help me kill that guy."

"Old K, you have 50+ in a row, you can consume as much ball power as you can. Look at me, my data is not as good as last season, that guy didn't pass the ball to me, he completely occupied the ball. , I can only play a second offense, grab a defensive rebound and then launch a one-stop fast break, otherwise the ball will not come back if it passes out."

   "And old K..."

"To shut up!"

  O'Neal was long-winded, and Pharaoh was really annoyed.

He broke out in three consecutive games, not only scoring, but also in rebounding, defense, and even organization. A huge consumption. Compared to when Lightning was around, his physical energy consumption increased exponentially. With his current level of 101 physical fitness, he couldn't hold it any longer. He really didn't want to listen to O'Neal's long-winded.

   "Come, come, Shark, I'll treat you to hot pot."

   He waved, called O'Neal to the table, pointed to a pot of chili water and said, "Good thing, it can make you cool from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet..."

   "Is it cool from the top of the head to the anus, like a big dream?"

O'Neal looked at the tumbling pot of red soup, smelled a choking smell in his nose, his face twitched, and scolded angrily: "Old K, you are so bad, you don't want to hurt me, last time The media reported that you invited the gliders to eat that stuff, I won't be fooled, I'm going to eat medicated food tonight, I'm the VIP of the martial arts hall, I didn't attend the party, and now I have to compensate me.”

   "Go, go, go."

   As long as O'Neal's broken mouth can be closed, everything else will be fine, and Pharaoh quickly agreed.

   He didn't eat this table of hot pot today, it was Lightning and Glider. These two people have recently become obsessed with hot pot. They have to eat it every day.

  He and O'Neal came to the acupuncture room, Drexler and Kevin Johnson were getting up from the massage table, the acupuncture was done.

  O'Neill asked curiously: "Lightning, glider, is this thing really useful?"

   "Of course it works, you will know if you try it, and it will work immediately." Kevin Johnson said with a smile, and Drexler quickly nodded in agreement.

   "Old K, why didn't you introduce it to me?" O'Neal glared at Pharaoh and said dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, there are currently only 100 acupuncturists in the K martial arts hall, all of which are concentrated in the three branches. If you need this service, you can only come to the martial arts hall. Of course, it is not impossible if you really need door-to-door service. The cost of those doctors' throwing knives is the same, 20,000 US dollars a time." Lao Wang introduced with a smile.

   "Are you going to eat people? Damn capitalist!" O'Neal said angrily.

  The glider asked at this time: "Old K, there are also Chinese medicine practitioners in Houston's Chinatown. How are their techniques?"

   "That's hard to say, you can try it." Old Wang pouted, this damned guy actually learned to shop around?

However, all the doctors he invited from China are very good Chinese medicine practitioners who are good at acupuncture and moxibustion. The quality of service is guaranteed. You will know that the glider has suffered losses outside, so he does not plan to reduce the price. The K martial arts hall only has the most expensive ones. For the rich, the most expensive is the best. If it is cheaper, people will not look down on it, and it will drop the grade.

Drexler scratched his head, let's forget it. He has acupuncture here for $500, and Chinatown for $10. There are also $5. It's too cheap, and it doesn't seem to be reliable. Cheap is not good. Still a little more expensive.

   When they were about to eat, Zhang Heli and the five of them from CCTV came over. CCTV will broadcast tomorrow's game, just in time for the meal. No, they should have come here specifically to eat.

   Next, the nine people ate three cans of medicinal food + a table of hot pot, and they were sweating all over.

   Of course, O'Neal didn't dare to try hot pot. He was afraid of the spicy food, so he made him a pot of stewed beef brisket with potatoes.

   In fact, the hot pot prepared by Lao Wang has been improved. It is not so spicy and not so oily. In addition, some dipping sauces have been prepared, and the taste is also good.

   "Old K, two more cans."

  O'Neill was very rude. He ate a can of it by himself and almost swallowed his tongue. He didn't have a drop of soup left, and he still had to eat it.

   "No, this thing needs to be customized, I only arranged two copies here, and the extra one is from my brothers, there is no more." Old Wang said angrily.

"mean."

   O'Neal was dissatisfied.

   "Do you want to make a reservation?" Pharaoh asked.

  O'Neal opened his mouth, three thousand dollars a piece is too expensive, and it is too expensive to eat for one bite. He gritted his teeth and shook his head.

  Kevin Johnson and Drexler just smiled, not surprised at O'Neal's reaction.

They are also reluctant to pay for their own food. This is no better than medicated baths and medicated oils. Although those two cost money, they are good for their careers. There are no medicated meals. K said, can prolong life.

"mean."

   Old Wang cursed back.

After the promotion of this medicated diet, the response is really good, but the effect is not seen in a short time, especially the effect of prolonging life is not elegant, the effect of beauty and beauty will not come out in a short time, medicated diet is not a beauty product, in fact, it Unable to prove its effect, it is now recognized for its taste, not its efficacy, only as a delicacy.

   As a delicacy, the price of 3,000 US dollars is too expensive. The average VIP customers eat very little. Only the real billionaires will eat it without any scruples, so the sales volume is not large.

   Anyway, he doesn't plan to lower the price. If it does, the style of the entire K martial arts hall will drop, and it doesn't matter if the medicated food doesn't make any money.

   "Old K, Shark, in tomorrow's game, do you want to fight?" Su Qun asked with a smile.

   "Can he get the ball? If he wants to attack, he can only rely on himself to grab offensive rebounds." Pharaoh looked at O'Neal with disdain.

  O'Neill retorted, but he had no confidence, his face was shaking with anger, and he was extremely depressed.

   "Anyway, I can't let you cut 50+ off my head." He said to Lao Wang with a stern face.

Pharaoh did not refute this point. Without outside support, O'Neal's offense has decreased, and he can indeed put more energy into the defensive end. He has 50+ in three consecutive games, and it is too difficult to continue to perform like this on O'Neal , he didn't want to blow the bullshit, so as not to be ridiculed afterwards.

   "Shaq, did you really fall out with your little brother?" In order to change the subject, he asked again curiously.

   "Brother fart!" O'Neal said angrily.

   "When you introduced Hardaway in front of me before, you said he was your little brother, I remember." Old Wang said.

   "Puff!"

   Lightning and Zhang Lili burst into laughter.

  O'Neal almost died of anger. He found out that he was wrong today. The bastard, Old K, is really not a good person, and he always satirizes him.

   "Have you had a public fallout? What is the attitude of management?" Kevin Johnson asked.

"No."

   O'Neal shook his head, he was not such a fierce person, and he did not openly clash with Hardaway.

   "The management didn't intervene in the locker room, and I don't know what they thought." He said angrily again.

   "What are you going to do in the future?" the glider asked.

   O'Neal shook his head and said, "If they force me to do nothing, I can only choose to leave, and it's not that there is nowhere to go."

   "Don't come to the West, just stay in the East and change the team to kill the Magic." Pharaoh said quickly.

   "That's not good to say..."

  O'Neal stared at his small eyes and shouted: "I'm going to a big city, New York or Miami, or Los Angeles, whoever gives me the best contract and who respects me more, I'll go wherever."

   "Why don't you go to Chicago to hug Jordan's thigh?" Pharaoh said angrily.

   "They have no room." O'Neal said casually.

"Ha ha!"

  Pharaoh is so angry that he can't go on, this **** fat man is too shameless, looking at his attitude, as long as the bulls have room, he is really willing to hug Jordan's thighs, and he doesn't want the face of a super center at all.

   "If this news is released, Pat Riley may trade Alonzo Mourning immediately." Lightning spit at this time.

   The other three were stunned and nodded in unison.

   "Poor Mourning, he's still waiting for the Heat to give him a billion-dollar contract." The honest Drexler sighed.

   "That's mine." O'Neal stared, as if his big contract was taken away by Mourning.

  Pharaoh analyzed: "Ewing only has a contract of three million next season, Nima's, Sharks, as long as the league agrees, the Knicks really have room to sign you."

   "The same goes for the Lakers," Lightning said.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "What the Knicks want most is Jordan. The Lakers have the greatest chance. They don't have a real big name at the moment. The league will definitely be willing to see the Lakers have a super center, so that the Lakers' big market can be maintained. , Shaq went to the Lakers, the league is good."

   "My favorite team is the Lakers." O'Neal made no secret of being authentic.

   "Your favorite is those female stars in Hollywood, right? Unfortunately, they are not interested in you." Pharaoh directly exposed O'Neal's true colors.

   "How do you know?" O'Neal said angrily.

   "Haha..." The others were amused and laughed.

   However, Zhang Lili then said: "But with the iron army in the west, whether the alliance is willing to gather the two giant beasts in the west is a question."

Kevin Johnson thought about it and said: "If Shaq really wants to leave the Magic, the league may not want to see him go to the Knicks to join forces with Ewing. Mr. Stern has been balancing the league, and it should not be allowed. But in the past It's possible for the Heat, but only if the Heat trade for Mourning."

   Several people chatted and farted, and only dispersed after dark.

   The next day, Friday, January 17th, match day.

  This game is broadcast live by ABC TV in the United States, and it is Saturday in China, and CCTV also broadcasts it in real time.

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

  Magic: O'Neal, Horace Grant, Denis Scott, Anfernee Davey, Nick Anderson

  Sun: Wang Tiejun, Ben Wallace, Michael Finley, Wesley Posen, Elliott Perry.

   Zhang Lili looked at the lineup in his hand, sighed, and said, "The Magic lineup is one level stronger than the Suns' current lineup! The Suns are in danger tonight."

  Suqun also nodded and said, "Position 4, Cobra's incision is very powerful, and Ben Wallace may not be able to keep up.

His offense is either to shoot long two points from the outside or cut to the basket, mainly focusing on these two areas. He has high requirements for defenders to follow up, and the rookie Daben has little experience in the game. Easy to get lost. "

   Zhang Lili continued: "Small forward Denis Steko was the No. 4 pick in the first round in 1990. He averaged 17.5 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season. He is much stronger than rookie Finley.

   In addition, with the growth of Penny Hardaway, the Magic's backline is now the most offensive backcourt combination in the league, and it can definitely crush the combination of Perry + Posen. "

  Su Qun also said with a worried expression: "Five positions, four positions are at a disadvantage, it depends on the old K."

   "The iron army is also difficult. The teammates can't help. It broke out three times in a row. It must be very tired."

Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "And O'Neal is not an ordinary super center. He is the same beast. He is faster, stronger, and physically better than last season. He has truce for 22 games before, and his physical fitness is better than that of the Iron Army. Too much."

   "That's really difficult."

  Suqun said this and sighed: "Actually, I really hope to see Old K break Jordan's 87-year record, with 50+ in four consecutive games. Chamberlain in ancient times is not counted, but the history of modern basketball is the first!"

   At this time, in China, not to mention hundreds of millions, at least tens of millions of people are gathering in front of the TVs of various households to watch this game, mainly young people.

   With the birth of Wang Tiejun and the vigorous promotion of CCTV in the past two years, basketball has generated countless fans in China, and it can even be separated from football.

  Especially in the capital, as well as in Cangzhou, Wang Tiejun's hometown, there are too many young people who like basketball, even surpassing football in these two areas.

  Today, Fengshen Street was overcrowded again, crowded with fans from all over the city.

The hundreds of bosses were so happy that Fengshen Street was very popular. They were very happy to put their TVs outside their doors for fans to watch the game, because the most popular source of Fengshen Street was old K Wang Tiejun. The live broadcast day of the game is the best time to attract popularity.

Behind    South Street, that is, behind Bar Street, there are more than 20 open-air basketball courts, and there are dozens of acres of open space. Now it is full of fans.

  Bai Changsheng deliberately installed dozens of TV sets in the open space for fans to watch, which can also increase the popularity of Fengshen Street.

   On the north side of Fengshen Street, the demolition work is underway, the sports center has not yet started, and the architectural design bidding has not yet been carried out, but the date has been set.

At the West American Arena, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "It's not me, if our men's basketball team can achieve good results in the Atlanta Olympics next year, basketball will go further in China. I won't say it surpasses football, but certainly not. will lose to football."

  Suqun also blew up and shouted: "That is, we have an old K in basketball, a real world-class superstar, who can compare in the domestic football world?"

   He was excited, and only cared about his mouth being happy, but he didn't know how many football fans and how many people in the domestic football world were offended by these words.

In the ABC live booth, Bill Walton analyzed: "Today the Suns will be more difficult, the Magic will not double-team him, and when O'Neal has played against the old K for three seasons, it has never been called a double-team, so the Suns have a perimeter. Not available.

  The rookie Finley has poor offensive ability with the ball, and neither is point guard Perry. Posen has a certain offensive ability with the ball, but that's how it is, after the old K can't create an open space, it is more difficult to start an outside attack. "

   Partner John Hanks nodded with a smile: "Old K has 50+ in three consecutive games, and now he has 50+ seven times. His powerful offensive ability has attracted the attention of the entire league.

   But we have to see that it is precisely because the teammates in the main lineup do not have a strong scoring ability, so he must strengthen his offense, which is actually overdrawing his potential.

   He is not a defender, and his too tyrannical style of play also determines that each attack must consume more physical energy than other positions, and the wear and tear on the body will also be greater.

  The league and the media have always believed that his peak period will not be long, and once he is injured, he will fall immediately, so I actually do not recommend him to play like this. If you go on like this, you may be injured at any time when your body is extremely fatigued. "

Bill Walton thought for a while and said: "I have to admit that what you said makes sense, but Old K also has his own ideas. He doesn't want to be rotten, so when the team rebuilds its strength, he must carry the team. go forward.

   Now the Suns still have the top record in the league, one can imagine how fierce he has played this season and how hard he has fought.

  You and I both know what he wants to fight for, yes, MVP, this is a hard honor that a superstar must have, as the core of a team, this is the honor second only to the championship.

Old K wants to get it, and to get it, he must pay, no one will succeed casually, he can't get it if he doesn't fight, so he has to fight, even if he pays a price for it, this is also the responsibility of a superstar . "
