NBA Backer King Chapter 432

Looking back, Hornacek kept running, not limited to the right wing, but kept running in the entire frontcourt, constantly making pick-and-rolls with his teammates, and through his running and continuous pick-and-rolls, the Suns defense was torn apart. pulpy.

   Kobe tried hard to chase and defend, but he was inexperienced. After a few moves, he was a bit like a headless fly. His own people were not counted, and he also blocked the way of his teammates.

   Hornacek ran to the left flank, in the open, Stockton's ball also came over.

  Horry tried to cover up, but the Postman made a good offensive screen and held him back.

   Hornacek caught the ball, jumped up the next moment, and made a two-pointer.

   But at this moment, Wang Tiejun, who was under the basket, had already pounced on his left waist. Seeing this, he rushed forward. After a cushion, he soared up, and with one hand, he shot the basketball into the air.

"yeah!"

  The timely big hat made the fans cheer quickly.

   "Big hat! Old K sent a big hat..." The roar of a live commentator sounded immediately.

"Snapped!"

After landing a second jump, Pharaoh grabbed the ball above his head, swung his elbows, and frightened the postman and Hornacek away. After sweeping the field, he saw Kobe, who was still like a headless fly just now, was on his way. Get down.

   "Old K grabbed the ball, Kobe is going down quickly, pass quickly!" The roar of the on-site commentator continued to sound.

"here!"

   Kobe shouted as he rushed forward.

   He lost Hornacek, and now there is no defender by his side. After a few steps, he passed Stockton and Kidd and rushed to the front.

   "Whoosh!"

  Pharaoh's ball flew to Kobe.

   "Kobe passed the frontcourt, he was as fast as a sports car and took off!"

   With the loud shout of the on-site commentator, Kobe flew from a step from the free throw line, and another one-handed dunk exploded the audience.

   "Great, the Suns played a strong defense and fast counterattack. Now 53:61, they have an 8-point lead." Su Qun roared excitedly.

   "The Jazz served and called a timeout." Zhang Lili said at this time.

Kobe excitedly returned to the bench and scored six points in a row on three shots. He shouted at Pharaoh very proudly: "How about it, old K, as long as you give me a chance, I will give you back, only I can help you."

   "Who followed the man who lost him just now?" Pharaoh asked.

"he."

   Everyone pointed to Kobe. Kobe just said that only I can help you. This sentence offended everyone.

Kobe was dumbfounded, spread his hands, and said innocently: "I tried hard to chase, but someone blocked my way, I couldn't even see where he went, there were people in front of me, they were all running, it was all messed up. ."

"Ha ha…"

  Pharaoh took the lead, and the bench burst into laughter.

   "This is a rookie, you can't blame him for shame." Lightning said something pertinent.

   The timeout ends and the game continues.

Zhang Lili took a look and said: "Oh, Wilkins went down and went up to Chapman. This is a three-back tactic, which increases the ability to open up to prevent the opponent from putting too much pressure on the low post. Staff. Adjustment I think is right, but Chapman can't guard Russell either, Horry should come up as soon as possible."

   "Hori's physical fitness is average." Su Qun said.

   At this time, the Jazz attacked, playing the 3rd position, using Russell's height and tonnage to play Chapman in a dislocation.

  Unfortunately, Russell's ability is really average. Chapman's weak defense failed to hit a three-pointer, the rebound was won by Pharaoh, and the Suns attacked.

  Wang Tiejun fell in the low position on the left wing, and everyone else pulled away, all pulled to the three-point line.

   Hornacek didn't dare to give Kobe too much. After all, he also knew that Kobe, a rookie, still had three points. If the vacancy was too large, that was to give points to others.

   Kidd made a tactical gesture, Kobe suddenly activated, moved to the flank, and made an inward cut, attracting the Jazz's defensive attention.

   At this time, Kidd at the top of the arc suddenly moved to the right wing and made a pass to Kobe.

   This made the Jazz's defensive attention further shifted to the right wing. After all, Kobe just scored six points in a row, and the speed was very fast, no one dared to ignore him.

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun suddenly started, turned and slipped, got rid of Campbell, and quickly cut to the basket.

The right wing was low. The postman saw Wang Tiejun's action and rushed back to the basket at the first time. Rasheed Wallace was completely lost by him. under the basket.

   Almost at the same time, Kidd, who was moving to the right wing, suddenly pulled back, shook off Stockton, and passed the ball to the empty space on the right side of the basket.

  Wang Tiejun stepped into the paint area, saw the ball coming, he quickly stepped forward, caught the ball in the air with both hands, and smashed it towards the postman who had just returned to the basket.

"boom!"

   Amid the violent explosion of the basket, the postman groaned and was knocked over directly under the basket. Under the huge impact of Pharaoh, he slipped backward for more than one meter.

   "Boom!"

   The audience burst into cheers, and thousands of people stood up, waving fists like undulating waves, pushing the Suns' home atmosphere to the extreme.

   "Hey, the postman sat on the floor and didn't get up, covering the back of his head, as if something was wrong with his head?" Buckley exclaimed.

   Bill Wharton was staring at the screen when he nodded and said, "It should have hit the back of the head when he was knocked down."

   "Look, there's blood on the floor." Busfelton shouted, pointing to the screen.

   At this moment, the camera was zooming in, and sure enough, there was a puddle of blood where the postman had just fallen to the ground.

   "Damn! Damn!"

  On the field, the postman was extremely depressed, and while scolding, he stood up with the help of his teammates and walked off the field.

  Jerry Sloan calmly replaced a substitute, and then came to the postman, where the team doctor was doing an examination.

   "Dizzy?"

"A little."

   "The wound is not big, and there should be no major problems, but I don't recommend continuing this fight. It's better to go to the hospital for an examination to be safer. After all, this is the back of the head." The team doctor said immediately after a brief examination.

  The postman and Jerry Sloan were about to say something when there was a burst of cheers in the audience. They saw that the reason was that Old K sent another cover to Campbell.

  Chapman picked up the ball behind Campbell and quickly went down. Kobe Bryant rushed to the front again on the other wing. The speed advantage of the young man was very strong.

"boom!"

   Kobe dropped Hornacek, took Chapman's pass, and dunked the ball.

   "53:65, the Suns lead by 12 points." Zhang Lili laughed.

   "The main thing is to defend well, and then Kobe made a quick counterattack. His counterattack awareness is very strong." Su Qun said excitedly.

   "Now the postman doesn't know if he can come back. If he doesn't come back, the game is over." Zhang Lili said easily.

   On the sidelines, the postman said to the team doctor: "Hurry up and pack it for me, I want to play."

   "No, Carl, safety comes first, this is the back of the head, don't be careless." Jerry Sloan resisted the postman's impulse and firmly refused the postman's request to play.

  The postman couldn't play, and the Jazz's resistance was meaningless. In order to preserve his strength, Jerry Sloan then replaced the main force and announced to give up the game.

  In this way, because of Karl Malone's accidental injury, the Suns won the G2 game and won two consecutive victories at home.

Although the reason for the win is related to the injury of the opponent, no one thinks that the victory of the Suns is a fluke, because from beginning to end, the Jazz have not prevailed on the Suns, and the best result is to limit the old king. , and the Suns can maintain a balanced trend.

   However, in the first half of the game, the Jazz did limit Wang Tiejun's offense. Whether it was the combination of Campbell and the Postman, or the foul tactics on the bench, they all played a good role.

   This gives other teams the hope of restricting a giant beast. Two insiders with enough tonnage, good defense, daring to confront, and not bad mobility will have the opportunity to restrict the giant beast.

   But it is not easy, very easy to get such a combination of insiders.

After the game, in the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili said: "The first half of this game was still very difficult. They limited the Tiejun's performance through the two big inside lines, and at the same time, there were certain foul tactics. The strength is really good.

   In addition, according to my observation, Tiejun did not play his full strength in the first half due to foul tactics, and did not force the basket. This must have some reservations. He should hope to explode in the second half.

So the Suns played well in the third quarter, and the Tiejun played well even when he played with all his strength. Before the Postman was injured, he played well on the defensive end and sent assists on the offensive end. Even if the Postman was not injured, I see the Suns can win this game too. "

Su Qun took the statistics table and said: "Old K played 23 minutes in the first half. After the Jazz gave up the game in the second half, he played for only 5 minutes and then went off the court. He played 32 minutes in total and made 7 of 13 shots with a shooting percentage of 53.8. %, 13 of 23 free throws, 56.5% hit rate, today's hit rate has dropped, a total of 27 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 6 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls."

After    read the data, he asked: "Director Zhang, can you finally evaluate the performance of Lao K today?"

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "In general, the performance of the Tiejun determines the performance of the Suns. Today, under the double team of Campbell and the postman, and under the interference of foul tactics, his performance in the first half has a certain degree. Struggling, so the Suns struggled as well.

   But this is normal, players can't be the same in all games, that's not a human, that's a robot. And today the Jazz really played well in the first half, limiting the Iron Army.

   In general, the Iron Army played better in the second half than in the first half, but the postman was injured, so he didn't play much time, and his performance was indeed not as good as before. "

   At this time, the Suns returned to the locker room, and a group of reporters followed them to the locker room.

   "Coach D'Antoni, what do you think of the team and the old K's performance today? Can you talk about it?"

  D'Antoni walked in the back, everyone else went in, and he was about to go in, but was stopped by a reporter who asked a question that interested him.

   He didn't have any scruples. Anyway, the boss didn't want to renew the contract. He thought about it and said, "Frankly, I think the team has a problem that needs to be solved. If we don't solve this problem, there will be a big problem sooner or later."

   He said this, hula, and all the reporters in the corridor gathered around.

After a dry cough, he continued: "The tactical position that the team gave Old K was too high, almost every ball had to pass through his hand first, which tied the team's entire offense to him. If there is a problem at the point, the team's offense will have a big problem.

   So, as you saw just now, when the Jazz restricted the old K, the team played quite hard. If it wasn't for the accidental injury of the postman, the victory would not have been so easy to obtain, and problems were inevitable. "

   "Coach D'Antoni, are you saying that the Suns should lower the tactical status of Old K?" a reporter asked excitedly.

"Yeah, everyone knows the ball will go to K first, so why not double him? That's why K is restricted today, the Jazz's double team is too decisive, they know the ball will For old K, so they double-teamed him, and they did it," D'Antoni said.

   At this moment, Danny Ainge appeared at the door of the locker room and shouted with a serious look: "Mike, come in, we are going to conclude the game."

"Oh, sorry."

  D'Antoni knew Danny Ainge was upset, but he didn't care, nodded to the reporters, and went into the locker room.

   "Mike, don't say things you shouldn't say in front of reporters, you are a coach, you should be more cautious in interviews." Danny Ainge closed the door and whispered.

   "I didn't say anything." D'Antoni said with a shrug.

   Danny Ainge snorted coldly, he heard something just now, D'Antoni is too much, no wonder Little Colangelo has not renewed him in advance.

  In the locker room, a group of players didn't care about the coaches, they were very happy to win the game.

Kobe Bryant, in particular, performed well in the third quarter, but Danny Ainge never replaced him. He played the full second half, making 7 of 11 shots, 0 of 1 from 3-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 17. The data of points, 1 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.

Among the 11 offenses, there were 6 fast breaks, 5 times, and 5 times were positional battles, a pull-up jumper after a break with the ball, a missed shot, and a layup after three cuts without the ball, and the score was twice. , an outside shot missed.

   Old Wang was very happy to see Kobe, he poured a basin of cold water and said, "Little blacksmith, why are you happy? I also played a few fast breaks, and my performance in the positional battle was not very good."

   "The same can be said for fast break points." Kobe said unconvinced.

   "That's because your opponent is Hornacek. He can't keep up with you. How many points can you score on your fast break against Jordan? How many times can you score?" Pharaoh asked.

   Kobe was at a loss for words, and Pharaoh continued: "But you played well without the ball just now, and the cut was very timely."

Having said this, he saw a smile on Kobe's face, and immediately another basin of cold water passed over, saying: "But the shooting is very bad, all two shots are missed, the stability is too bad, don't you want to compete with Jordan? , how do you compare?"

  Kobe's face froze, his neck stiffened, and he said, "Don't worry, as long as my strength training comes up and the confrontation comes up, the shooting stability will also come up. Sooner or later, I will be able to compete with him."

  Lightning smiled and said at this time: "Okay, old K, don't beat the rookie. Today's performance is still good. It will be bad if he beats him into a soft-footed shrimp."

   "Old K, if you don't have me today, you will lose. If you suppress me again, be careful of my rebellion against you." Kobe said.

   "Look at him, is he a soft-footed shrimp?" Pharaoh asked Kobe with a finger.

  Lightning looked at it, indeed, it was not like a soft-footed shrimp, but a red-eyed pit bull.

   At 8:30 a.m. the next day, the Jazz announced that the postman had three stitches on the back of his head, but there was no major problem. It was a skin injury.

   "It's a real iron bump."

  The Suns are having breakfast. After Pharaoh heard the news, he had to be convinced. Karl Malone is really an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. His physique is too strong and too iron.

   "Old K?"

   At this time, Lightning handed over a newspaper.

   He took it over and looked at it. He couldn't help but look at D'Antoni on the other restaurant.

   "Did I offend him?" He turned his head and asked Lightning.

   "I think it's a basketball philosophy relationship, not a personal one."

  Lightning calmly analyzed, and then brought over a few newspapers and said, "Some media are hyping this matter, especially the media in Salt Lake City, talking about the Suns' infighting, old K, you have to be careful and don't be affected."

"rest assured."

  Pharaoh thought for a while, then threw away the newspaper and let him go. D'Antoni has no place in the team, he can't control the coaching staff, and he can't control a coach's mouth.

But he can't control it, someone can control it. Little Colangelo found out later, and he was very unhappy. After breakfast, he talked with D'Antoni in the room for ten minutes. After coming out, D'Antoni's face was very bad, obviously The communication just now did not make him happy.
