NBA Backer King Chapter 434

After the    timeout, the Jazz resumed the attack.

   On the right wing, the postman got the ball with his back to Rasheed Wallace. At this time, Hornacek cut in. The former passed the ball and the latter received the ball into the paint area.

   On the left wing, Wang Tiejun threw Campbell who had pulled out and went back to the basket.

   His return defense is particular. Instead of returning to the basket first, he follows Hornacek's rhythm and defends on the flanks. As long as the opponent dares to lay up, he will never escape his block.

   At the same time, he used the huge defensive screen formed by his height and huge volume. While returning to defense, he also cut off the passing route of Hornacek and the left wing to prevent the opponent from passing the ball to Campbell. If the pass is reluctant, it can only lob the ball.

   Sure enough, Hornacek only had time to glance at Wang Tiejun from the corner of his eye, but he couldn't see Campbell at all, so he could only choose to lay up himself.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh took off from the flank, slapped the opponent's layup directly on the backboard, the ball bounced up, and then he took off again and caught it.

"Ugh!"

   The offense failed again, and the home fans couldn't help sighing.

   "Another big cap, old K's defense is getting stronger and stronger now." Barkley praised.

   "Second in the league in defensive efficiency, what do you think?" Bill Walton laughed.

   "It seems that the Suns really want to win this away game, and the old K is bursting on both ends of the offense and defense." Busfelton said.

Barkley said with a smile: "If you win this game, it's three-to-one. If you don't win it, it's two-to-two. This game is very crucial to both sides. If the Suns win, they can basically make it to the finals, and if the Jazz win , and a chance to make it to the finals.”

"brush!"

  Lightning ran without the ball on the weak side, and suddenly took the initiative to run to the postman's side. After using him to get rid of Stockton, he cut back to the basket, received Pharaoh's point, and hit a layup.

   "Can you still use opponents to do pick-and-rolls?"

   Kobe sat on the sidelines watching the ball and couldn't help but feel itchy.

   He played without the ball. After a season, he still hasn't reached the heat, and he can't use everything on the court to move like lightning.

   "9:2, the Suns started really well." Su Qun said excitedly.

Zhang Reasonably analyzed: "Now the Iron Army has blocked the Jazz's basket attack, and the Jazz have failed many times in the basket attack, which is likely to force them to start shifting their attacks to the outside. In this case, their efficiency will not be too high, continue to play like this , the Suns have a good chance."

  Jazz attacked, Campbell almost pulled to the three-point line, and the postman did the same. Both Wang Tiejun and Rasheed Wallace were pulled out of the paint area, and then the perimeter started to break through.

  The Jazz's perimeter breakthrough is not a direct face-to-face breakthrough, but a breakthrough after the pick-and-roll.

  Stockton pulled to the left wing and used Russell's pick-and-roll to make a breakthrough. The direction of the breakthrough was the left elbow area. Kidd was blocked and failed to keep up. Horry's defense was also one step slower.

   Wang Tiejun outside the left waist had to retreat to the paint area immediately.

   But at this moment, Stockton suddenly scored the ball and gave it to Campbell.

   "Hoo!"

  Wang Tiejun turned sharply and rushed towards Campbell.

  Like a tiger, he stepped out with a big stride, shortening the distance between the two by almost two meters, and then after a step forward, when Campbell took a jump shot, he also jumped up.

"Snapped!"

  Under the big volleyball hat, the basketball flew upside down like a shooting star, straight into the auditorium, and there was a sound of exclamation.

"yeah!"

The moment the    blocked shot occurred, the Suns players on the court, off the bench players, and the coaching staff all cheered at this moment.

After   Wang Tiejun landed, he rushed out of the stadium and directly into the auditorium. The fans there were so frightened that they got up and dodged, and several people in the front row were crushed by him.

Jerry Sloan, who was standing there, was also taken aback. He turned to look at Wang Tiejun and was amazed: "The low-post attack is invincible, and the defense can defend to the three-point line. This behemoth of Phoenix is ​​not the one from New York at all. Fat beasts are comparable."

   He has never seen O'Neal work so **** the defensive end. The investment of these two behemoths on the court can't be compared at all, so the current achievements can't be compared.

   "Oh hoo!"

  In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley screamed excitedly and roared excitedly: "Old K sent a block from five meters away, and his defensive area has completely covered the position one step inside the three-point line.

   That's my brother, he's giving all his power on the court, and that's why he's done so much in the league in just five short years. "

   "Physical strength, abundant physical strength allows Old K to provide all-round contributions." Bill Walton nodded.

   "If O'Neal also has the physical fitness of Old K, he will be stronger than now, and maybe he can catch up with Old K." Buss Felton said.

  New York, O'Neill muttered: "Old K's medicinal bath must be hidden. I use it every day now, and my physical strength doesn't seem to increase."

   He didn't think about it. Before, he was reluctant to spend money on this, and he didn't take medicinal baths at all, and this year he gained weight again, approaching 150 kilograms, which affected his physical fitness.

  The Delta State Center Arena, the Jazz will attack again, and there are 4 seconds left.

   On the sidelines, Jerry Sloan's mind was spinning fast.

  Old K played crazy on the defensive end today. He sent four blocks in succession, almost directly to the three-point line. How did the Jazz attack?

   rushes in and gets a hat, and throws outside and gets a hat. Old K is not letting them live.

   However, he knows that if he only shoots from the outside, the Jazz will definitely not be able to beat the Suns. He must strengthen the low post attack and strengthen the breakthrough from the outside. Even if he pays a price for this, it is necessary.

   This choice is very simple. If you don't make it, the team can be said to lose, and even if you shoot outside, you're still getting caps, right?

   Then go in, you may encounter a strong defense if you go in, but you also have a chance to win, right?

   Another, he doesn't believe that old K can continue to block the performance like this.

   So, don't stop, just attack the paint and take a shot on the offensive end.

  Thinking about this, he gritted his teeth and shouted at the court: "Go in, I want efficiency."

  The Jazz served from the sideline, Hornacek caught the ball, the Lightning followed closely, and there was no chance to shoot, he passed it to Stockton, who was in touch.

   When Stockton caught the ball, Kidd was forced to him. There was no time. He forced a jumper. When he took off, the basketball was knocked out by Kidd with a slap.

   "Oh, Kidd steals the ball, lightning is coming!" Barkley shouted.

   Lightning received Kidd's pass, advanced to the basket, returned to Kidd, Kidd then passed to Horry, who stopped outside the right-wing three-point line, who received the ball and made a jumper.

"brush!"

  The water splashed and the three-pointer hit.

   "Beautiful! Now at 12:2, the Jazz called a timeout again. The continuous timeouts show that the Jazz are in a very bad situation now. Let's see if this second timeout can solve the problem." Zhang Lili laughed.

"There are only four caps in the opening game. It's only a few minutes? How many caps do you get in one game? Today, Old K burst out on the defensive end. typical.

   "Go in, get close to the basket, don't hesitate, and resolutely play the low post and the basket attack." Jerry Sloan said sharply on the Jazz bench.

   There is no objection from the players. In this team, his authority is still great, and both black and white support him.

However, this sentence put a lot of pressure on the Jazz players, because the first quarter has not yet been played, and the old K has blocked them four times, and they have not rushed in with all their strength. How many hats to swallow?

   So, although no one objected, no one nodded, as if the sentence was not heard.

   Jerry Sloan went on to say: "On the defensive end, we used the tactics of the first two games, not letting Old K go to the basket and limiting his offense.

  If he makes a strong attack, Carl, Eldon, you two must block him. In addition, when foul tactics are used, the shot must be decisive, and don't let him become two plus one. "

  In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley laughed: "Old K really broke out on the defensive end today, doing everything he could, whether it was at the basket, on the edge of the penalty area, or on the three-point line, he was everywhere.

   Ladies and gentlemen, the single-game block record in the playoffs is the 10 times of Mammoth Mark Eaton and Big Dream. Guess, can Old K break this record tonight? "

"possible."

  Bill Wharton and Busfelton nodded at the same time.

   Just kidding, when it was less than half a quarter, he gave out four blocks, who dared to shake his head?

Bill Walton said: "Today, the Jazz are in trouble, they can't defend against the Suns, and they got bloodied by the old K cap, only to score two points. If this fight goes on, the home fans will leave the field early, which will affect the ratings. what!"

  Buckley said with a worried look: "No way, how can the ratings drop? This is my show, why don't I find old K and let him play and let Jazz?"

   "Pfft, haha..." The other two burst into laughter instantly, and many fans in front of the TV couldn't help but laugh.

The    timeout is over at this point, the game resumes, and the Jazz attack.

   "Pull it open, punch in!"

   After a few rounds, Jerry Sloan shouted angrily when he saw the players timid and did not dare to go in, and just threw them outside.

   He doesn't understand. What are you afraid of? Open the tactic and attack the penalty area. Old K can't be able to return to the basket so quickly every time. This is our home court.

   In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili said: "It's the 7th minute of the first quarter, 20:7, the Suns lead away by 13 points, the advantage is very large.

   Right now, the Jazz don't have any low-post offense, and they don't have any offense at the basket. They just made a jumper after a pick-and-roll outside and hit three goals. It's very difficult and almost impossible to chase points with such an offense. "

   "Old K has been completely embarrassed. I don't dare to go in, and I don't even dare to approach the paint area." Su Qun laughed.

   "Just kidding, there are less than four big hats in half a quarter, and they dare to rush in, it is unreasonable, it is purely courting death, a suicide attack, haha!" Zhang Lili laughed.

"give me."

   At the critical moment, the postman Karl Malone led by example, he started to get the ball with Rasheed Wallace in the low post on the right wing.

   Outside the left waist, Wang Tiejun turned upwards, glanced at the postman, and then turned to look at the person he was staring at.

Campbell pulled to a position within forty-five degrees of the left-wing three-point line. He was three meters away from Campbell and three meters away from the basket. He just stood in the middle, no matter which end, plus his wingspan, two steps. less than distance.

  Stockton was a bit unlucky today, Kidd stared at him very tightly and harassed him constantly. He was at a disadvantage in height and tonnage. Kidd was also very strong, and some small movements seemed to have no effect.

   At this moment, he glanced at Campbell, there was a three-meter vacancy, but he didn't dare to pass it, because it was also such a big vacancy just now, and Campbell was blocked.

Campbell is not the kind of outside line who can shoot the ball very quickly. He is a 211 cm inside line. His shooting rhythm is not fast. The behemoth capping chances.

   "Whoosh!"

   suddenly made a fake pass to Campbell. After shaking Kidd, he immediately turned around and avoided Kidd. He passed the ball to the postman, which is more trustworthy for old machine friends.

Pharaoh inside    was also shaken, his foot moved, and his body swayed towards Campbell, but he didn't see the ball passing, he knew he had been fooled.

He immediately turned towards the penalty area. When he turned around, his unobstructed line of sight swept across the top of the arc and saw that Stockton was turning to the right wing. With a quick movement of his feet, he jumped back to the penalty area in one step. At this time, the ball flew towards the postman.

   In the second step, he jumped in the air and directly crossed the front of the basket. This step allowed him to cross the space of two meters. At this time, he saw that the postman received the ball, and then rushed out of the third step.

  The Postman catches the ball, just arches, gives Rasheed Wallace an elbow, and immediately rolls over for a jumper.

   He knew that Old K was playing crazy on the defensive end today, and he would definitely come to help defend, so the rhythm of the action after catching the ball was fast, and there were no extra links.

   But when he turned over and jumped out, his eyes widened, because a huge figure suddenly caught his eye, and then instantly occupied all the space in front of him.

"Snapped!"

  Wang Tiejun landed in the third step. He was already at Rasheed's side. He immediately jumped up and flew past the sprayer and the postman. By the way, he grabbed it with one hand and directly confiscated the basketball that the postman had just thrown.

"Oh!"

  In the Delta State Center Arena, there was a huge voice of disappointment and surprise.

"ah!"

   On the Suns' bench, Kobe and other bench players rushed off the bench in an instant, raising the white towels in their hands.

"Fifth cap! Old K sent the fifth block. This is the big cap in the help defense. Old K is amazing tonight. Five caps in a single quarter, he will make history, as long as he gets another block in this quarter. , he is the first in the history of the league in blocks in a single quarter in the playoffs." Barkley roared excitedly.

Bill Walton laughed: "8 blocks in a single quarter in the regular season, 17 blocks in a single game, and 5 blocks in a single quarter in the playoffs. Old K has tied this record with 10 blocks in a single game. , Old K seems to be really possible today."

   At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt, and Pharaoh was still in a strong position to get the ball.

   He made an extreme effort on the defensive end today. Although his investment on the offensive end was not as good as that on the defensive end, he also worked very hard. He played less, mainly passed the ball for his teammates, and got a lot of assists.

   "Whoosh!"

   Kidd carries Stockton ready to pass.

   "His!"

   Being pinched by Stockton, the corners of his mouth twitched in pain, and he took a deep breath.

"Snapped!"

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, Stockton quickly steals the ball and then hits a counterattack.

   "Don't try to run!"

   Kidd got angry and chased after him.

After   Stockton was caught up, he quickly stabilized. At this time, other players on both sides also ran across the center line, and the offense and defense began to take positions.

   "Crack! Crack!"

  Pharaoh stood outside the left waist position, slapped his thick and huge palm vigorously twice, and shouted loudly: "Jazz boys, rush in, your big hat is waiting for you."

   "Too crazy!"

The    Jazz players were furious.

   "click, click..."

   The reporters behind the bottom line at both ends captured this moment one after another.

   "Go! Haha..."

   Kobe and other Suns substitutes cheered for the Jazz.

   "Go!"

  Thousands of away fans who came from afar chanted in cooperation.

   "Shhh!"

  The home fans started booing, and the boos filled the sky for a moment.

"boom!"

  No one rushed in, and Hornacek made a three-pointer on the Lightning head and missed.

  Pharaoh rushed in to protect the backcourt rebound and passed it to Kidd, who moved forward steadily.

   On the bench, Kobe muttered: "I should go up to play fast break, Lightning is old, he can't run anymore, he can't play fast break."

   "Rookie, you want to grab the Lightning's starting lineup? Do you want to be flattened in the locker room?" Chapman said in surprise.

   "Old K is my master, who dares to flatter me in the Suns?" Kobe said disdainfully.

   "The person who flattened you is old K." Chapman laughed.

   Kobe stayed for a while, as if, is it really possible?

In the next game, some of them were out of Jerry Sloan's control. He asked to play low-post offense and increase his offense at the basket, but no one dared to rush in. Even the Postman and Campbell shot away from the penalty area, mostly mid-two. Points and far two points.

   But even so, in the 11th minute, Campbell still couldn't escape Pharaoh's poisonous hand, and once again took a step in the three-point line, Pharaoh drove over and slapped him.

"yeah!"

When the    big hat appeared, the Suns were jubilant.

   "With six blocks in the first quarter, Old K broke the league record for blocks in a single quarter in the playoffs, congratulations to Old K!" Barkley shouted excitedly.

  Bill Walton shook his head and said: "Today, the old K is too crazy on the defensive end, the deterrent is too great, the game is one-sided, the current score is 31:14, the Jazz's offense is completely unwatchable."

Bass Felton smiled: "This is still old K who doesn't attack much. He invests too much in defense and rebounding. After getting the ball on the offensive end, he usually focuses on scoring. Now he has 3 assists and 3 2 indirect assists."

   At this time, the first quarter of the game was over. At 33:14, the Suns led by 19 points in a single quarter on the road, and the score difference exceeded the Jazz's score.

In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Through strong defense, the Iron Army expelled the Jazz's offense, which not only reduced the opponent's offensive efficiency, but also completely controlled the backcourt rebounds. The Jazz only grabbed one in the first quarter. Offensive rebounds, how do you win?"

Su Qun took the statistics table and said: "Old K made 4 of 5 shots and 3 of 4 free throws in the first quarter, and scored 11 points. The efficiency is very high, but he took a little less shots, mainly doing defense and rebounding. In addition to scoring, there are 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 6 blocks, 0 turnovers and 1 foul."

   Zhang Lili shook his head and smiled and said, "What do I think, I didn't expect it to be like this today. I didn't expect Tie Jun to play like this today. It's unreasonable. He is an offensive madman, but he was crazy on the defensive end today."

  Su Qun said with a smile: "According to his rules, as long as the game is explosive on the defensive end, he has never lost."

Zhang Lili nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's been like this since his rookie season. There was a game against the Bulls in the finals, I forgot which game it was. It was he who exploded on the defensive end and finally won it. At that time, his defense was actually far worse than it is now, and he was strong in attack and weak in defense."

  Su Qun said with a smile: "His defense is much stronger now than back then. Now that he has a defense, the effect is quite impressive."

   Zhang Liliang calmed down and analyzed: "If the Jazz can't break through the Iron Army's defense and only make jumpers outside, the tone of this game may have been set."

   "It should be." Su Qun nodded.
