NBA Backer King Chapter 643

  Chapter 643 Championship Ring

After the training match, Lao Wang returned to the locker room and suddenly said to Ariza: "Rookie, your offensive talent is average, and we have no shortage of offensive players. Even if you are a substitute lineup, your offensive ability is not very useful. , and you are still working hard in defense, so I suggest you strengthen defensive training and strive to contribute your defensive energy in the substitute lineup."

  Ariza stood up excitedly and shouted: "Boss, I promise to strengthen defensive training."

   "Work hard, and you will have a chance to play."

  Old Wang nodded, role players have the benefits of role players, if they have the potential to run, then train a few good role players.

   "Yes, boss." Ariza roared excitedly.

  Varejao looked envious. He had a lot of opportunities in the training match, and he could even match up with old K, but he didn't know how many opportunities he would have to play after the regular season started.

   At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 1st, after the Nets arrived in Phoenix, Dayao went to Lao Wang's house for dinner.

  Zhang Lili and Su Qun also came over to have a meal. CCTV will broadcast the Suns' opening game live tomorrow.

   "Dayao, if your Nets don't make it to the finals this year, you kid won't dream of competing for the championship in the future." Old Wang said half seriously and half jokingly.

  Da Yao nodded cheerfully and said, "Brother, I think so too."

  Old Wang nodded and said: "Next year we two will fight for the finals, so that the domestic fans can have a good time."

   "Then it's a deal." Dayao laughed.

  Fei Ge, who was holding Er Bao, asked in surprise: "Is the Nets so strong this year?"

  Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Feihong, they got Vince Carter, one of the four major shooting guards, with an average of 20+ per game. The second position was relatively weak before, but this time it has been strengthened."

  Su Qun said: "However, Alonzo Mourning may not be able to, and the fourth position will still be a problem."

  Dayao nodded and said: "If he still can't do it, we also have two good substitutes in the fourth position. It feels okay to do some dirty work."

Su Qun said at this time: "The Lawrence Sports Awards have been going on for five years. Tiger Woods has won the best male athlete for two years, Schumacher has also won it for two years, and Cycling's Armstrong has won it once. Old K, when will you It would be nice to have it once.”

  Old Wang smiled, but did not speak.

   Zhang Reasonable said: "The Lawrence Sports Awards was held in 2000, and now it has a great influence. It can be regarded as the largest comprehensive award in the sports industry in the world.

But Tiejun, after you won the championship in 2000, you were injured in 2001, came back in 2002, was suspended again in 2003, and won the championship last year. Just in the five years when Lawrence appeared, you only won two championships, not as good as Woods and the others. The results of the year are so dazzling. "

   "Two championships in five years is good, right?" Su Qun muttered a little unconvinced.

Lao Wang raised his hand at this time, raised the watch in his hand and said: "My watch is given by the sponsor, it costs more than one million yuan, it is the world's top luxury artificial watch, and every part is handmade. "

   "What's the matter? What does it have to do with Lawrence?" Phineas asked in confusion.

  The others didn't understand what Lao Wang meant, and they all looked at him, waiting for his next words.

  Old Wang smiled and said: "Lawrence Sports General is jointly founded by Daimler, a German commercial vehicle manufacturing company, and Richemont, a Swiss luxury goods company.

  Dayham is the world's second largest manufacturer of luxury cars and trucks, and Richemont is the world's second largest luxury goods company, both of which are very powerful.

  At the same time, Lawrence also has two global sponsors, Mercedes-Benz under Daimler, and IWC under the Richemont Group.

  I won't mention Daimler and Mercedes-Benz. There are many luxury brands under the Richemont Group. In addition to IWC, there are also Vacheron Constantin, Baume & Mercier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier, Earl, Lanzie, etc. There are too many luxury brands. "

  He pointed to the watch on his wrist and said: "The luxury watch I endorse does not belong to IWC, nor does it belong to Richemont Group."

   "Oh, I understand, Richemont Group and IWC don't support you to win the award?" Su Qun suddenly realized.

   "Sponsoring companies will only support their spokespersons." Zhang Lili also suddenly realized.

Lao Wang smiled and said: "But I am still the spokesperson of a Mercedes-Benz SUV. Mercedes-Benz has already informed me that it will strive to get the support of the parent company Daimler. When the time is right, it will fully support me in competing for the Lawrence Award." .”

   Zhang reasonably analyzed: "Next year's Lawrence Awards will be held in May. Although it won't be able to catch up with next year's playoffs, but Tiejun, you won the Olympic gold medal and this year's championship. You still have a chance next year."

"Look at the support of Mercedes-Benz. But I think it is very difficult, because in Europe, basketball is not popular, football, tennis, racing, those are popular sports. The top athletes in these sports are mostly Mercedes-Benz and As the spokesperson of Daimler's brands, Mercedes-Benz is not the only one who supports me." Old Wang nodded.

   Zhang Reasonable said: "The media has evaluated the teams these days, and they are not optimistic about the Suns' title defense. Tie Jun, you'd better get off to a good start, otherwise the media won't let you go if you lose a few games."

   "I know." Old Wang nodded.

  Su Qun suggested: "Stoudemire is gone, Joe Johnson is gone, Nash and Marion are gone, now you don't have an All-Star by your side, it doesn't matter if you play alone."

   "Kenyon Martin is considered an All-Star, this year's All-Star substitute." Dayao reminded.

Su Qun said with a smile: "His strength is just that. He doesn't have the skills to play singles with the ball. He just eats cakes. His outside shots are very unstable and inaccurate. I don't think he has the strength of an All-Star. The Suns gave him such a big The contract is actually not worth it.”

   Zhang Reasonable said: "There is no way, the Suns can't find anyone, the public enemy of the league, the average team will not make the Suns strengthen through trades, without a big contract, they can't attract people at all.

  Young players with potential and talent, they don't want to come, but they will be suppressed if they come to Tie Jun's side, otherwise why would Stoudemire leave?

To be honest, Nash and Marion are better. They are both grown-up players and have received big contracts. That's it.

  He is definitely not worth playing next to Tie Jun, averaging more than ten points and a few rebounds per game. With such statistics, he will definitely not get a big contract in the next contract.

  Why did Joe Johnson leave? Just like Stoudemire, it would be too late if he didn't leave. If he leaves now, he still has a chance to play out. If they don't leave, their agents will try to force them to leave. "

  Old Wang nodded with a smile and said, "I think so too. I have no objection to their departure. After all, I can't delay their growth because of me. I'm not a person who achieves himself by delaying the growth of my younger brothers."

  No. 2, at night, the American West Arena is brightly lit.

  Before the game, the first thing to do is to award the championship ring of last season.

Lao Wang deliberately put on all the championship rings. The little finger, ring finger, and **** of his right hand wear the three rings of the Lakers Dynasty. The little finger and the index finger of the left hand wear the three previous rings of the Suns. Ring, he wore it on the thumb of his left hand, seven championship rings, plus a wedding ring, eight rings were shining brightly.

   "Kacha Kacha..." Countless lenses began to flicker.

  Alonzo Mourning watched calmly, but the feeling of envy in his heart couldn't be suppressed from the bottom of his heart.

  He entered the league in the same year as old K and O'Neal, and he is also the best center forward, but his career has completely different results.

O'Neal got a championship ring anyway, but he got nothing after twelve seasons. This sense of gap and shock is very strong, especially at the moment when old K puts on the seventh ring. It made him cry, and his eyes were red.

In his entire career, he was suppressed by Old K and O'Neill without taking a single risk. As a person with an extremely resolute character, he was very unwilling, and it was precisely because of his unwillingness that he chose to come back for the third time this time. In fact, his current kidney function is still failing, so he is not suitable for a comeback.

  At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said excitedly and excitedly: "Seven brilliant championship rings, this is the harvest of the Iron Army's 11 seasons in the league."

Nodding, Su Qun said: "7 championships in 11 years, one of the three consecutive championships, plus countless hard honors, forged the status of the first person in history. And this Olympic championship has really established the iron army in the world. The status of the first person in the world basketball."

  At eight o'clock, the game begins.

   Nets: Yao Min, Eric Williams, Richard Jefferson, Vince Carter, Kidd

  Suns: Wang Tiejun, Kenyon Martin, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, Jason Williams

   This game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT TV, with Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentators.

  "Mourning came back and played as a substitute this time, but according to the Nets' physical examination of him, the result was not satisfactory. Even if he is forced to play, I am afraid that his playing time needs to be strictly controlled." Kenny Smith said.

   "I admire his willpower. If I were in his situation, I would definitely retire directly." Barkley said.

   "That means you have already won the championship. If not, you will definitely choose to persevere." Kenny Smith said.

   Barkley shrugged and said: "That's not necessarily true, life is the most important thing."

  On the field, the two teams are preparing to jump the ball.

   "Kenyon, you go." Old Wang motioned.

  As an old man who is almost 32 years old, when the jump ball is showing his face, this kind of opportunity must be given to young people like Kenyon Martin. After all, Martin is only 27 years old.

"Snapped!"

  Although Kenyon Martin's left knee is injured, but as a spring man, he can still jump very well. He actually grabbed the ball in front of Dayao.

  Old Wang moved to the low position on the left wing and took a step outside. When Dayao followed, he suddenly ran back and cut to the basket.

   When Pharaoh entered the basket, he caught an open spot.

  Unfortunately, this opportunity was not seized. Kidd blocked in front of White Chocolate. His strong defense prevented Williams from passing the ball in the first place.

  But White Chocolate still passed the ball in the second time. While running to the right, the right hand holding the ball made a backhand behind the back, and the ball flew from behind to the basket accurately.

  This pass, no one could have predicted.

  The speed of the ball was very fast, but not high. Lao Wang, who hadn't had time to take off, subconsciously reached out and touched the ball, and raised the ball.

  The next moment, he and Dayao jumped up to grab the ball at the same time.

"boom!"

  Relying on his excellent jumping ability, he caught the ball, and before he landed, he twisted his waist and smashed his arms when his body fell, and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

  "Beautiful! Old K and White Chocolate completed an alley-oop. It seems that their cooperation is not inferior to that of Old K and Nash."

   A live commentator roared excitedly.

  Dayao was bumped by Lao Wang in the air, and he was a little unstable when he landed. He was pulled by Lao Wang to stabilize himself.

Zhang Lili said: "Although Dayao's tonnage is five kilograms larger, but in terms of muscle quality, Dayao is indeed far behind Tiejun, so the heavier tonnage, in terms of confrontation ability, he is far inferior to Tiejun. Explosive power The gap is bigger, which is why he got knocked in the air."

  Su Qun said with a smile: "After the old K was injured, his explosive power became stronger, even comparable to O'Neal in his peak period. He can beat Yao under the basket."

It was the Nets' turn to attack, and Dayao was in the low position on the left wing. Wang didn't have a hard top. After receiving the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball and arched his back, and then took a turnaround jumper. Rhythm.

"brush!"

  The basketball is hollowed into the basket.

   "Brother, don't waste your time." Dayao said with a smile.

   "You're so proud of yourself, sooner or later you're going to be hated, so be careful!" Old Wang said with a smile.

  The Suns attacked, Lao Wang suddenly pulled up to a high position, and set a pick-and-roll for White Chocolate. White Chocolate took the opportunity to get rid of Kidd, and took the ball from the free throw line into the paint.

   At this time, the Nets power forward Eric Williams returned to the basket, followed by Kenyon Martin.

  White Chocolate immediately changed direction and pulled to the left.

   Eric Williams' attention was attracted by the white chocolate, but at this moment, he seemed to see something flying below.

"Be careful!"

   Yao, who was below the free throw line, suddenly saw the ball in White Chocolate's hand, flying from Williams's side to Kenyon Martin, and shouted hastily.

"boom!"

  The next moment, Kenyon Martin catches the ball, then leaps up and dunks Williams with an extremely explosive one-handed dunk.

   Nets offense.

  Dayao landed directly at the top of the arc, making a pick-and-roll for Kidd, and at the same time pulled Lao Wang out, emptying the Suns' basket.

  At the same time, Vince Carter was running without the ball on the left wing, and the Suns were playing man-to-man. Josh Howard missed him and he got the chance to catch the ball.

Kidd is about to use the wall to go in, but facing the old K's defense, he passes the ball as soon as he can. The 360-degree field of vision is unobstructed, and Carter flew the ball as soon as he got the chance.

  Carter received the ball, immediately smashed it on the floor, then started vigorously, took the ball to the paint area, and took off at the left waist.

   Lao Wang moved down from the free throw line, quickly returned to the basket, and had an intersection with Vince Carter in the sky above the basket.

"Snapped!"

  Tomahawk-style dunk, Vince Carter wanted to grab the ball into the basket before the old K, but the speed of the old K's defense was beyond his expectation, and the ball just hit the old K's big hand.

   "Ohoo!"

  The Suns fans burst into cheers instantly.

The ball was capped out of the bottom line, and Carter was out of balance under the huge blocking force. When he flipped backwards, the right arm of Lao Wang's blocking took advantage of the trend and clamped him under the arm to prevent him from falling. fall.

   "Boy, you played a death fly dunk in the Olympics four years ago, did you want to dunk me just now?" Lao Wang asked with his eyes wide open after letting go of Carter.

  Vinska quickly shook his head with a smile and said, "Old K, don't blame me, it was an empty basket just now. By the way, old K, thank you just now!"

   "Don't think about detaining my old man all day long, and if you get hurt by my hat, then don't blame me, I may not be able to protect you every time." Old Wang warned authentically.

   "Old K, don't worry, I won't do that." Carter promised quickly.

   The Nets attacked again, and Richard Jefferson got the ball on the left-wing three-point line.

   Zhu Fangyu's defense was taught by Pippen. Although it is not as good as Pippen, it is not bad. This is why he can become the main small forward of the Suns in the second grade.

   The reason why Xiao Fan and Xiao Colangelo let him play the main third position is definitely not because of Lao Wang, but because of his ability.

  Defense is the same as offense. The first step is to interpret the opponent's tactics.

   After interpreting the opponent's offensive tactics and understanding what the opponent will do, you can make relatively accurate defensive predictions and make correct defenses.

  Zhu Fangyu knew about Richard Jefferson before the game. He is a breakthrough small forward on the wing, but he is very good at mid-range and long-range shots.

  For this kind of breakthrough small forward, the first thing to do is to defend against breakthroughs, so he adopts a half-step defense strategy, and deliberately looks like a loose defense, and the whole person is in a state of loose defense on the outside and tight on the inside.

   Sure enough, the next moment, Jefferson began to break through with the ball.

   But at this moment, Zhu Fangyu quickly retreated and blocked Jefferson's front with half a shot. When the latter hit him, he fell backwards.

   "Beep!"

  The whistle blew.

   "Wow, Zhu's defense seems to be somewhat similar to mine!"

   Varejao, who was sitting on the bench, saw that his eyes lit up.

   "You kid, you tricked me into a whistle." Dayao walked up and down to pull Zhu Fangyu, muttering.

   "Dayao, don't drag your opponent, even if you are brothers off the court." Old Wang followed up and said to Dayao.

   "Understood, brother." Dayao nodded quickly.

  As soon as he let go, Zhu Fangyu, who was about to get up, groaned and fell down again.

  Looking at Dayao who ran away, and Zhu Fangyu who looked aggrieved, Old Wang said angrily, "Get up yourself, wait for me to pull you?"

  In this game, 105:108, the Suns finally beat the Nets.

  Pharaoh also played his best, not only in offense, but also in all aspects, scoring 34 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 6 blocks, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls.

   There were a lot of personal mistakes, and the team made more mistakes, reaching 26 times. If it weren't for Lao Wang's offensive efficiency, rebounds, defense, and teammates in good condition, we might not have won this game.

  But apart from him, no one else on the team scored 20 points. Kenyon Martin was the second scorer. He and White Chocolate took turns feeding cakes and scored 18 points, which is considered a good performance.

  In addition to the two of them, Zhu Fangyu scored 11 points, Josh Howard 12 points, White Chocolate 8 points, and the five main players scored a total of 83 points.

  The substitutes scored 25 points, and Jamal Crawford scored 16 points alone, which was the team's third scoring point and completed the sixth man's task of grabbing points.

  Dayao scored 37 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 58% from the field, and his offensive performance was not inferior to that of Lao Wang.

After the game, Lao Wang said: "Dayao, don't be proud. Today you are a guest in Phoenix. I am treating you. I didn't guard against you. Just treat it as a New Year's dumpling. Next time I go to your place, I won't be merciful." gone."

   "Brother, don't come here. I feel good today. Are you not guarding against me? I ate four of your hats, but you haven't completely guarded against me." Dayao said without humility.

   "You are said to be fat, but you are still out of breath?" Pharaoh scolded with a smile.
