NBA Backer King Chapter 422

   Chapter 422 Crazy Three Points Rain

   Soon after, the third quarter began.

  The two sides are still dominated by the main players, and the substitutes occasionally come on the court to let the main players take a breath and fight the main players.

  The Sonics still focus on three-point tactics, while continuing to play tough and fierce defense.

   Here, the Suns Wang Wang stormed the half court, and the physical energy consumption on the defensive end was also very large, so the storm was reduced and the scoring was strengthened.

In this quarter, the Supersonics' three-pointer rain was finally no longer so crazy, but it still maintained a considerable level, and the shots were even more crazy. In a single quarter, 12 three-pointers were shot, 5 of which were hit, and the hit rate reached 41.6 %, which is still a deadly efficiency.

  Fortunately, the Suns' feel has recovered. After a chaotic battle, the two sides tied in the third quarter, and the Suns still led by 5 points.

   Entering the final quarter, the main players of both sides are almost exhausted, but the head coaches of both sides continue to take the method of squeezing the main players.

   It's just that the physical fitness of the other main players on both sides is not good, but Lao Wang is still good.

   Pharaoh didn't have many strong attacks in the third quarter. He only worked **** defense and rebounding, and still maintained some physical fitness. At this time, he took over the team's offense.

"boom!"

   went around the basket to catch the ball. In the double-team between Rain and Perkins, he forced a side hook and the ball smashed into the basket.

"what!"

  The home fans burst into cheers.

   Next, the SuperSonics missed a three-pointer, Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

  Pharaoh missed the rebound at 45 degrees on the left waist, Yuren grabbed the rebound, and the Supersonics were no longer physically fit to play fast-paced offense and defense.

"boom!"

  Perkins pulled out to shoot a three-pointer, but still missed.

  Pharaoh quickly went back to the basket, won the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

   This time, he took the ball from the left waist again, resisted Perkins' defense, shot before the rain man's help defense came, and hit a forty-five-degree hit.

   "Three shots and two hits. The critical moment depends on the ability of the core players. The playoffs are the stage for superstars. Come on, old K!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.

   "We're 9 points ahead, we're playing steadily, we can win." On the sidelines, old assistant coach Lewis encouraged loudly.

   "Championship! Championship..." The audience shouted enthusiastically, and the home fans began to cheer the players.

"boom!"

  The Sonics missed the first three shots in the final quarter, and this time Rasheed Wallace got the backcourt rebound.

   For this goal, Wang Tiejun came by himself. At the critical moment, he believed in himself even more.

   The other four were all pulled away. When the ball came in, he noticed that the Rain Man was coming from the weak side to help defend along the bottom line and had reached behind Perkins.

   The next moment, he suddenly took a step up, jumped up and grabbed the ball, then landed and turned around. Between dribblings, he stuck his left elbow on the outside, resisted Perkins' defense, and shot into the paint area with the ball.

The rain man below hurriedly stopped and turned around to defend the basket, but at this time Wang Tiejun had already stepped up, and in the air was still pressing his left elbow outward to prevent interference from Perkins, holding the ball in his right hand, hit the basket.

"boom!"

  The ball goes in and the basket rings.

"yeah!"

   The fans cheered again and again.

   "11 points, our victory is in sight!" A live commentator roared excitedly.

   "Old K made 3 of 4 shots in the final quarter and scored 6 points in a row. This is the performance of a superstar." Another live commentator roared excitedly.

   The SuperSonics made zero hits in the first three shots. They were also a little panicked and didn't dare to shoot outside, and started to break through.

  Hawkins ran on the right flank, borrowed the Rainman's pick-and-roll to get an open position, and made a mid-range shot immediately after catching the ball.

  Rasheed Wallace and Lightning were unable to defend, so they could only watch the other side shoot.

  Wang Tiejun returned from the left flank to defend the basket, but was unable to make up for the right flank, so he could only watch the opponent make a shot.

"boom!"

  Unfortunately, the SuperSonics felt too hot in the first three quarters, and the last quarter consumed too much physical energy. It was cold, and the fourth shot was missed.

"Oh!"

  The opponent missed the shot, and the home fans immediately responded with enthusiastic shouts to celebrate.

  Wang Tiejun won the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

   He scored three goals in a row and made four shots. He was a little tired, and this time he didn't actively ask for the ball.

   But he is still in the key position, using his key position to attract the opponent's defense and create opportunities for his teammates.

   In the next time, he did the same, no longer attacking, leaving the attack to his teammates to reserve some physical fitness for the second half.

   After half a quarter, the Suns led by 13 points. The Supersonics felt slightly recovered, but they were no longer crazy like the first three quarters.

   In the second half, Wang Tiejun stood up again, made 3 of 5 shots, and scored 6 points. Although the hit rate was not as good as before, it still had 60% efficiency.

   Under his attack, the Supersonics did not find a chance to come back until the end of the game and lost the G2 battle.

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton praised: "Old K made 20 of 31 shots in this game, and the shooting rate reached 64.5%. When his teammates felt cold in the first half, he relied on his high rate to top. He survived the Sonics' crazy three-point rain, and then waited for the recovery of his teammates in the second half, and he really did a great job for the Suns to win this game."

"That's why the playoffs are called the stage of superstars. It is really difficult for ordinary players and role players to perform super-explosive performance under such great defensive intensity and under such great psychological pressure. Only real playoff superstars have It takes an extremely firm willpower and a strong desire to win," Busfelton said excitedly.

   Bill Walton nodded and said: "In addition, in terms of free throws, he made 9 of 18 free throws and scored 49 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls in 48 minutes.

   The playoff efficiency of ordinary stars is lower than that of the regular season, but for several seasons, the hit rate of old K has been higher than that of the regular season. This is the real playoff superstar, not the regular season superstar.

   And he also made all-round contributions in rebounds, assists, defense and other aspects. Winning this game is the best reward for him. "

Basfelton nodded and said: "The other players of the Suns performed well in the first half, but they recovered in the second half, which is also the key to victory. Everyone worked together and won the second home game, which is the key to the entire series. The victory laid a solid foundation.

   Next are two away games. As long as you win one, you can get the match point in the second round. It should not be a big problem to reach the Western Conference finals. "

   Bill Walton said: "Since the 92/93 season, the Suns have reached the Western Conference finals for four consecutive seasons. This time the Supersonics are indeed strong enough, but I think the possibility of the Suns reaching the Western Conference finals is still very high."

Nodding, Bass Felton said: "Today, the Supersonics broke out in three-pointers, and they shot crazy. In the first three quarters, they made 14 of 30 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was as high as 46.6%. It is a pity that the state declined seriously in the final quarter. Among them, the audience made 15 of 39 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was as high as 38.5%, which is equivalent to 57.7% of the two-pointers. Still lose.

   But because of this, the SuperSonics still lost the game in such a good state, so I also agree with you, the Suns are more likely to reach the Western Conference Finals. "

Bill Walton looked at the data sheet and said, "The Suns had 41 rebounds today, and Old K grabbed 18 by himself. The SuperSonics had only 28 and lost 13, and in other respects they were similar. In this one, the Sonics lost 13 possessions.

   The final score is 105:115. If they can work **** rebounding, the Sonics might really be a threat to the Suns. "

   This time, Buss Felton shook his head and said: "The SuperSonics are not high enough under the basket, and the rebounding will definitely not be able to grab the old K. The old K is the historical level of rebounding like Rodman.

And from a tactical point of view, the SuperSonics should have fewer opportunities to rebound. After making so many three-pointers, everyone was pulled out, and the offensive rebounds were basically lost. Their offensive rebounds were only 5 offensive rebounds in the whole game, and The Suns had 13 offensive rebounds.

   Since they are playing three-pointers, they will inevitably suffer in rebounding. It is impossible to take advantage of three-pointers, everyone is floating outside, and they can maintain the balance of rebounding. "

   "That's right." Bill Wharton couldn't help but nodded.

   In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili sighed: "It's not easy to win today. The Supersonics made a three-pointer in the first three quarters. That was a panic."

  Su Qun smiled and said, "Director Zhang, today the Supersonic's 3-point shot accounted for 52% of the shots. This is too high, it's unbelievable!"

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "This should be the game with the most three-pointers in NBA history. Crazy George Karl is really crazy tactically. He desperately played three-pointers and saw three-pointers. Tactics prevailed in the first half, so the second half was even more insane, with more three-point shots, it was just desperate, but unfortunately, if the last quarter didn't feel so bad, maybe he really succeeded."

  Su Qun suddenly asked: "Guo Zhang, the three-point shot is completely inconsistent with the current style of two-point shooting. Do you think there is room for development in this three-point shooting style?"

Zhang Lili thought for a while and said: "No, in general teams, three-pointers are at most about 20%, and the Bulls' three-pointers this season are about this proportion, and the Suns' three-pointers are slightly more. , at most about 25%, definitely not 30%.

  Because the Iron Army is in the low position, the Suns still attach great importance to the three-point shot, but it is only an auxiliary tactic, mainly two-point shooting. "

   "Then do you see the SuperSonics going to focus on three-pointers in the next game?" Su Qun asked.

   "This, it's really hard to say."

   Zhang Lili smiled and said, "George Karl is famous for his madness. He is either crazy or has a tactical madness. Others dare not use it. He dares to use it, and it is very useful."

   On the sidelines, Pharaoh didn't immediately accept the on-site interview. He was too tired. He sat on the bench to catch his breath first, and then got up to do the interview when he had enough breath.

   "Old K, what do you think of the Sonics' tactics today?" asked a TNT reporter.

"too crazy!"

   he blurted out.

   The reporter didn't say what tactics it was, but he only thought of one, and that was the three-pointer tactic.

To tell the truth, he has never seen any team dare to shoot so many three-pointers. In the first three quarters, when he saw the Supersonics make a three-pointer in the low post, he was terrified. He saw the opponent once. There was a deep sense of powerlessness on another 3-point shot through his basket.

   "What do you think caused them to shoot three-pointers like crazy?" the reporter asked.

   "Because they had a crazy head coach who thought he could kill us with three-pointers, but we let him down, I'm sorry." Pharaoh laughed.

   "Your teammates didn't feel well in the first half, what are your thoughts?" The reporter asked again.

"It's normal, they're different from me. I'm close to the rim and I can maintain a consistent hit rate, but they're far away from the rim. The touch is very important to them, and that thing can't be there all the time. Jordan also hits the iron sometimes. ," he said.

   "So the SuperSonics made so many three-pointers in the first three quarters today, does it mean that your teammates' defense has completely failed?" The reporter asked again.

   He shook his head and said, "They work very **** the defensive end, but sometimes that's how when the opponent's touch explodes, no matter how hard you defend, they seem to be able to shoot with their eyes closed.

In fact, the last quarter proved it, when the SuperSonics' feel fell off, my teammates' defensive effects were immediately perfected, allowing opponents to shoot 1-for-9 from 3-pointers, which means my teammates defense has always been there. "

   ended the live interview, said goodbye to the home fans, and the Suns left the stadium.

   Entering the player tunnel, Pharaoh shouted to several coaches walking in front: "Hey, coaches, who knows how the Bulls and Pacers are now?"

   "Three quarters are over, the Bulls are 4 points behind at home." Little Nelson said back.

   "Jordan didn't feel so good today. He made 8 of 20 shots in the first three quarters, with a 40% hit rate. However, he shot a lot today and caused a lot of damage. He made 12 of 12 free throws, and still scored 28 points in the three quarters." Lewis said.

   "Unfortunately, Ewing blew up Rick Schmitz, scored 24 points in three quarters and shot 62.5%, which is very efficient." Nelson Jr. said.

   "So efficient? What about Rodman's defense?" Pharaoh said in surprise.

   "Big bug was not in good shape today. I heard that there was an injury. He only played 21 minutes in three quarters, and his defense was poor. He only grabbed 8 rebounds in three quarters." Nelson said.

   nodded, Pharaoh smiled and said, "This Bulls team has only been in the past two years. If they continue to play, they will no longer be competitive."

   "The average is 32 years old, and the lineup is really too old." Danny Ainge said.

   "Jordan still has a one-year contract. I guess after finishing this contract, if he doesn't win the championship, with his competitive spirit, he might retire in a hurry." Nelson Jr. said.

   "Jordan retired?"

  Pharaoh thinks it's a little impossible. That old guy is only 34 years old. He is in such good shape and still remains at the top. It's a pity to retire.

   Back in the locker room and soaked in a medicinal bath for a while, news came from the Bulls and Pacers that Ewing and Reggie Miller teamed up to beat Jordan at the United Center.

"this is a good news."

  Pharaoh and Lightning both laughed. The East played more intensely. It would be better to break the head. It is better to punch out the dog's brain.

But thinking about the game just past, they are also a little scared. The East is playing a dog's brain, and they are not too good in the West. The SuperSonics and the Jazz will also block them strongly. .

   At this time, the coaching staff was discussing the situation of the team in the corridor outside the locker room, and Colangelo Jr. also participated.

   "Danny, this is the second round. If we continue to play the main force like this, their physical fitness will collapse sooner or later." Lewis reminded.

   "I understand." Danny Angie nodded awkwardly.

   Today, Old K played the whole court, which is not bad, because Old K belongs to the Iron Man, but Rasheed Wallace also played the whole court.

   The same is true for Horry. The physical fitness of the extra training king is not as good as that of the spray. Today, the whole game is played, and the state of the next game should not be better.

   Little Nelson said: "Fortunately, we have old K to support us, and they don't need to break through on the outside, otherwise the physical consumption will be more terrible."

   At this time, Colangelo said: "My suggestion is to win one of the next two away games, and we will try to get them when we return to the home court."

   Danny Angie nodded in agreement.

   Jr. Colangelo added: "Old K played too much time, he did too much work on the court, we must pay attention to his playing time, not just because of his good physical fitness.

I don't want to see him get injured, especially if stress injuries can be avoided, he is our present and our future. My father and I both hope that K can sign a third contract with the Suns, OK ? "

   "OK."

   Danny Angie nodded quickly.

   On the 7th, Pharaoh got up from the bed at 10 o'clock. After eating something, he dragged his luggage and drove to the headquarters.

   At 11:30, the Suns boarded the plane.

  Lunch was eaten on the plane, which was prepared by the team in advance, and everyone prepared several lunch boxes according to their own needs.

   Lao Wang has the most, six big lunch boxes, meat, fish, fruits, nuts and vegetables, etc.

   After dinner, I played poker with Lightning for a while. At blackjack, I lost a few hundred dollars and stopped playing immediately.

   He has no interest in gambling since he was a child, because every gamble is bound to lose, and it is bad luck to gamble.

   "Old K is too stingy, he does this every time, and he won't let us win more." Horry muttered.

   "Cough, if I can win the championship this year, I'm going to hold a swimming pool party and invite dozens of models over. If anyone is dissatisfied with me, I will definitely not invite him." Pharaoh threatened publicly.

Horry's face changed, and he laughed: "Boss, I'm lucky to have you, otherwise I'll be addicted to gambling, thank you! It's you who saved me from bankruptcy, or I'll sleep on the street after retiring. ."

   "Hey, King Jia Lian, I'm still a little dissatisfied with you." Old Wang said with a smile.

   "It's okay, boss, I can keep kneeling and licking until you are satisfied." Horry said with a smile.

   "Sigh!"

   Lao Wang felt chills and vomited directly.

   "Haha..." The others laughed immediately.

   Kobe looked at Horry with contempt and said, "King Jia Lian, do you have a bottom line?"

   "Little rookie, you still haven't grown up yet. In front of beautiful women, what do you need the bottom line for? I don't even want panties." Horry said disdainfully.

"Ha ha…"

   Including Kobe Bryant, the cabin burst into laughter.
