NBA Backer King Chapter 644

  Chapter 644 Why should I train for several hours a day for my opponent?

   After playing the Nets at home, the Suns flew to the East the next day, and then there are four away games to play in the East, and the four games are divided into two back-to-backs.

   On the 4th, the Suns defeated the Eagles away and won two consecutive victories.

   On the 5th, the Suns visited Philadelphia.

  Philadelphia failed to make the playoffs last season, and this season's lineup is average. Even if they make it to the playoffs, there is a high probability that they will be in the first round, but the biggest possibility is that they will not make it.

Before the start of the game, Pharaoh tried his best to comfort Iverson in the player tunnel: "Allen, you are either in the first round or in the second round, or you can't even touch the edge of the playoffs, and you can't even touch the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals." Have you lived? You are not too young, how many more years can you reach your peak? It is not a problem if this continues!

  I think you have no chance this year. Pacers, Nets, Pistons, Heat, Knicks, which one can you beat? The green team, the Wizards, and the Bulls should also be better than you. Are you ready to fish? "

  Iverson raised his chin vigorously, and refused to admit defeat: "Old K, you can win by fighting hard. I will not give up. Sooner or later, I will bring the team to fight in front of you."

  Old Wang patted Iverson on the head and said with a smile: "You have a chance to kill me in the regular season, but you should stop having that dream in the finals.

  Although people want to dream, they should not be too salty, but their dreams should also be realistic, otherwise they are just fantasy, which cannot be realized, and it is just a waste of your youth. "

   After being "comforted" by the old K, Iverson was shocked psychologically, and Iverson couldn't help feeling a little frustrated: "Then what do you say?"

  Old Wang smiled and said, "I heard that this season is your contract year. After completing this contract, you will go to the Suns and join with a basic salary. I will take you to win the championship."

   "Basic salary?"

   Iverson was stunned, old K, why don't you prostitute me for nothing?

If Chris Mullin was here, he would have exclaimed when he heard what Old Wang said, God, has Old K become as shameless as Michael Jordan? ?

"Ha ha…"

  Old Wang saw Iverson's stupid look, laughed and left, and brought his teammates out.

  He was just joking. A person with an arrogant personality like Iverson will not bow to reality, and he will definitely not hug his thigh.

  Only guys like postmen and gloves would choose to be a pendant on someone else's thigh for a ring.

   "Ah owe!"

  The postman who was cutting horse grass on the farm sneezed out, almost cut off his hand, and was frightened into a cold sweat.

   "Ah owe!"

  In the Rose Garden, Payton was facing off against Kobe when he suddenly sneezed and sprayed Kobe in the face.

   "Asshole, did you mean it?"

  Kobe was stunned, flew into a rage, and rushed to hit him.

   Half a minute later, two guys with swollen noses and faces were sent off.

   An hour later, the Suns and the Philadelphia Digital team finished halftime and returned to the locker room. Lao Wang received a call from Kobe.

   "Old K, I was beaten again, no, I hit Gary Payton, and he actually sprayed me in the face!" Kobe said angrily.

   "What? You, you and him, fucked, fucked?"

  Old Wang couldn't believe it, and the inappropriate images of Roberts and Big Mouth many years ago flashed through his mind, but when he thought of Kobe and Gary Payton, he felt a little nauseous.

   "Damn it, did it? Old K, what nonsense are you talking about?" Kobe over there reacted, and was almost mad by Lao Wang's words.

  The other end of the phone was hung up, Lao Wang curled his lips, isn't that what you said literally, am I wrong? Kobe's temper is getting bigger and bigger now, so he needs to find a chance to teach him a good lesson, and cut 100 points off his head?

  After winning Iverson's bad team, the Suns arrived in Chicago on the afternoon of the 6th.

  After the Bulls left from Jordan, because of the legacy left by Jordan, the reconstruction was actually quite fast, and the reconstruction was completed immediately with McGrady as the core.

However, for so many years, he has not achieved any results, and McGrady has suffered a lot of injuries. Although he is still at his peak, the management has lost confidence in him, so the Bulls chose to put him out in the past offseason. On the shelf, then McGrady went to the mosaic, and the Bulls began another round of rebuilding.

   On the 7th, the Bulls were defeated. On the 8th, the Suns, who had won four consecutive victories, came to Cleveland to fight against the Cavaliers.

  LeBron James averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game in his rookie season. As a local, he has become the son of Cleveland and is called "King" by the local media.

Because of his versatility in offense and defense, organization, etc., some media even compared him with Lao Wang and Jordan. Of course, Jordan is more compared because he and Jordan are both outsiders. He can even play point guard in the Cavaliers. , which is relatively less compared with Pharaoh.

In the official promotion of the league, LeBron James has become the focus of publicity. Some of his wonderful game highlights will appear repeatedly on the official website and sports programs of major TV stations. Obviously, everyone knows that this young man After the four major shooting guards, he has become the rookie king touted by the league.

   At the Olympic Games that just passed, James was full of anger, because he, Wade, and Anthony were not trusted by Larry Brown at all, and they didn't get any playing time at all, only garbage time.

  He vowed in his heart that he will perform well in the new season and prove himself to the entire league, and he will also prove himself to the world at the BJ Olympics.

   At eight o'clock, the starting list announced by both sides.

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

   Cavaliers: Big Z, Drew Gooden, Ila Nubell, Jeff McGinnis, LeBron James

   This game is a national live broadcast of the Cavaliers, which is broadcast live by ABC TV station. The commentators are Lango Gomez and Morton Elanton.

  "The Cavaliers lineup is not very good. They didn't make the playoffs last season. There are many strong teams in the Eastern Conference this season. It is estimated that it will be more difficult." Gomez said.

  Ilanton nodded: "Now LeBron James is playing point guard in the starting lineup, and his performance in this position is remarkable."

  Gomez suddenly smiled and said: "LeBron James also has the nickname 'king' now, and old K is also called the Sun King. Morton, do you think tonight's game is a contest between kings and kings?"

  Elanton was stunned, and it took three seconds to react. He shook his head and smiled, and said, "I'm afraid we won't see a contest between king and king?"

   "Is it because the two are in different positions?" Gomez asked with a smile.

Shrugging his shoulders, Elanton said: "That's not true. LeBron James' current offensive style is relatively monotonous, with a lot of breakthrough layups. In his rookie season, he had 31.5% of the basket offenses and 16.8% of the near two-point offenses. , 16.1% of two-pointers, 21.1% of long-range two-pointers, 14.3% of three-pointers, 48.3% of offenses in the paint area, nearly half, he has many opportunities to collide with the old K.

  In fact, with the old K's current defensive area, it can even cover the three-point line. From this perspective, LeBron James has a chance to meet the old K in any position. "

   "Then what are you referring to?" Gomez asked with a smile.

  Ilanton laughed and scolded: "Lango, you bad guy, do you have to tell me?"

   "Of course." Gomez nodded without hesitation.

   "Just say it."

  Ilanton laughed: "The reason why I said that we may not see a king-to-king contest tonight is because I think the current James is still too young.

  His offensive skills should not be able to perform very well against the old K's defense. Just like last season, he swallowed the old K's seven caps in one game and was completely stunned. "

   Gomez laughed: "Then, do you think the old K is interested in slaughtering the Cavaliers tonight? Or is the old K interested in a king-to-king heads-up with LeBron James?"

Elanton thought for a while and said, "The Suns not only lost their head coach during the offseason, but also lost their four main players. Their strength was seriously damaged. Old K averaged 41 points per game in the first four games. This shows that the Suns need his scoring.

In fact, it also shows that the Suns are facing a dilemma. Without a second powerful scoring point, the old K needs to stand up every night. Therefore, the almost 32-year-old old K is still the Optimus Prime of the Suns on the offensive end. Without him , the Suns' offense will collapse. "

   "Morton, what exactly are you trying to say?" Gomez asked.

  Ilanton laughed: "I want to say, whether old K wants to slaughter the Cavaliers or not, there are no weak teams in the NBA, he must give full play.

  If the Cavaliers perform well, a massacre can be avoided. If the Cavaliers cooperate well, there is no doubt that a massacre will usher in.

   As for whether the old K is interested in a king-to-king duel, it does not exist, because with his status and identity, he still looks down on LeBron James, right?

   Remember what old K said last season? In front of him, no one deserves to be called a giant, let alone king to king?

   Do you think James is now qualified to be on an equal footing with old K? A madman wouldn't think so, and neither would I. "

"Ha ha…"

   Gomez found it funny and laughed.

   At this time, the Cavaliers starter just left the locker room, ready to play.

  The two team reporters of the Cavaliers led the camera team to follow, asking questions while filming.

   "LeBron, it's the second time you're playing against Old K's team. Cleveland fans hope that you can perform well in front of Old K. Are you confident?" a reporter asked.

   "No, it's the third time, and the Olympics count as one." James reminded.

   "Yes, three times." The reporter nodded.

  LeBron James walked forward and said: "I hope to play a beautiful game, and I am confident that I can do it. I will prove myself."

   "Do you think the Suns have a chance to defend their title this season?" Another reporter asked again.

James hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I think it is very difficult. Their winning lineup last season is over. Although the new lineup won four consecutive victories at the beginning, it is the result of the old K's full play. It is impossible for him to play all season. Then play, once he consumes too much in the regular season, the playoffs will definitely not be ideal."

   "Do you think the Cavaliers can reach the playoffs this season?" The reporter asked again.

   "We will work hard, and I believe hard work will definitely pay off." James said.

At this time, a group of people had already walked into the player tunnel. After hearing this sentence, Lao Wang, who was one step earlier, laughed and said: "Little guy, the postman and the admiral, King Kong Ewing, Stockton, they will not agree." What you say, because they worked hard their entire careers and got nothing until they retired."

   "Old K, good evening."

  Although James was a little embarrassed, he still greeted him politely.

  Old Wang patted James on the head and encouraged: "Little guy, you have to work harder and make it to the playoffs first. Now you are not qualified to judge me."

   James' face was flushed red, but his face was too dark to be seen.

   At half past eight, the game begins.

   Jump ball, Martin jumps early, big Z pulls the ball away, Cavaliers attack.

  James took the ball to the right-wing three-point line, the Suns played man-to-man and sent Zhu Fangyu to defend.

  Zhu Fangyu's weight is 110 kg. When James entered the league, he was 112 kg. Now he is 115 kg. There is a slight difference in tonnage, but the huge gap is explosive power.

   Started to break through to the outside, James ran in with the ball, and when Zhu Fangyu moved to the defense, the two directly collided.

   "Boom!"

  Zhu Fangyu stepped back two small steps before standing still, and at this time James had already smashed the ball over, and he was caught.

  James broke through the first line of defense, immediately forcibly accelerated, changed direction and evaded Kenyon Martin's supplementary defense, and rushed to the paint with the ball.

  Seeing that old K has returned to the basket, he can't forget the memory of swallowing 7 caps in a single game last season, so he stopped suddenly at the right waist, took off, and shot.

  Pharaoh Wang took a step to block the shot, half a beat behind.

   "Bang! Bang!"

  The basketball hit the basket, jumped twice, and fell into the basket.

  Shot a ball on the old K's head, James shook his fist excitedly, and then immediately returned to the backcourt.

  Zhu Fangyu serves and White Chocolate advances.

   "Jason, stop your coquettish manipulation." Xiao Fan shouted loudly from the sidelines.

   "Puff!"

  The few substitutes on the bench at the back burst out laughing.

  White Chocolate made an OK gesture behind Xiao Fan's back, and the next second, he began to break through with the ball, making seven turns and eight turns, and rushed into the paint.

   At this time, Pharaoh has entered the paint area, raising his attention, ready to catch the ball at any time.

  White Chocolate burst into the paint from the left wing, past the big Z at the basket, and was blocked by Drew Gooden and James, but by this time his ball was gone.

   It turned out that when he had just passed Big Z, he made a covert backhand pass without looking back. The ball stuck to Big Z's side and flew into Lao Wang's hands.

   That is, Lao Wang has increased his concentration, otherwise the ball may not be caught.

"boom!"

  The next moment, Pharaoh dunked with one hand.

   Knights attack.

  The left wing is in a low position, Big Z catches the ball and hits Pharaoh in singles, and dribbles twice.

"boom!"

   Missed, Pharaoh quickly turned around after blocking the shot, and took the backcourt rebound that rebounded.

  The Suns attacked, Lao Wang went directly to the basket to get the ball.

  On the sidelines, Cavaliers coach Paul Silas yelled: "Drew, go in and double-team."

  Drew Gooden immediately dropped Kenyon Martin, rushed to the basket, and double-teamed Lao Wang in advance.

  At this time, White Chocolate's ball flew to Kenyon Martin, who was two steps away from the paint area on the right wing. After receiving the ball, Martin stopped for a moment before jumping up and shooting.

   At this time, James, who was two meters away from above, had already strode over, leaping up like a beast, and came to block the shot.

  Martin is not a cold-blooded pitcher. Although he was not blocked, his shot was affected.

"boom!"

  Short, the basketball hit the basket and rebounded, just in time to be caught by Drew Gooden, who threw himself in to double-team Lao Wang.

   "Old K was double-teamed in advance. If the open shot fails, there is no way." Gomez said in the ABC commentary.

"Kenyon Martin's shooting is a bit poor. Last season, 65% of his offenses occurred in the paint area, and 41% of his offenses occurred at the basket. It is conceivable that his shooting is not very good. Otherwise, in the How easy is it to shoot outside?" Elanton laughed.

  The Cavaliers attack, James holds the ball to the left wing, advances in a crushing manner, suddenly crosses the ball, and passes it to guard Jeff McGinnis who is making a weak side cut.

"Snapped!"

   But at this moment, a huge figure rushed up from below, soared up, stretched out his big hand, and broke the ball.

   "Oh, the steal happened! Old K steals the cross pass from LeBron James, and now he is going down!" Elanton roared excitedly.

  It turned out that Pharaoh noticed Jeff McGinnis' weak-side cut, interpreted the opponent's offensive tactics, and then predicted in advance to make the best defense.

After Lao Wang steals the ball, there is no defender within one step in front of him, so he immediately starts to make a quick move, rushes across the three-point line from the left elbow, flashes past Ira Nubell who is coming from the top of the arc, and then holds the ball and goes forward .

   "Is he so fast?"

  James chased after him, but he found that he couldn't catch up with old K.

  When a 130kg heavy center charges at the speed of a top small forward, when he charges up, he is already unstoppable.

"boom!"

  Take off from the free throw line in one step, smash the dunk with a one-handed tomahawk, and the moment the basket slams, the rebound flashes and then turns into countless small particles.

   "Broken! Old K smashed the Cavaliers' rebound! This is the 67th rebound that Old K has smashed in twelve seasons." Elanton roared excitedly.

   "Yes, on average every season, he has to smash at least 5 rebounds and pay a lot of fines, but he is not short of this money, haha!" Gomez laughed.

   Far away in Miami, the brothers O'Neill and Wade are watching the game in a private room of a nightclub.

   "This guy is always like this. I don't understand why he has to go to the effort to smash the rebound. In fact, it doesn't make any sense. I won't do it." O'Neal said.

   "Shaq, what is your goal in playing?" Wade asked suddenly.

   "Buying a big house for my mother and letting her live in it is my goal." O'Neill said without hesitation.

   "That's it?" Wade asked in surprise.

   O'Neal shook his head and said: "Of course, I have already achieved this goal. They always say that I am not working hard enough, and I did not train for several hours a day like old K and Kobe, but why should I work hard?

  I have achieved my goal, why should I train for hours every day for my opponent? Why? My opponent doesn't deserve that. "

  Wade was speechless, he couldn't understand O'Neal's way of thinking, and the result of O'Neal's refusal to train hard was obvious, he was suppressed by the old K throughout his career.

  O'Neal was a little annoyed and said: "When I was in the Knicks, I suffered from Michael Jordan. He forced me to train, train, and keep training, so what happened?

  We still couldn't beat the old K. In the end, if I hadn't sacrificed a kneecap, we wouldn't have won the championship. Jordan might have to play until now.

  He has to thank my left knee, otherwise he would have to continue playing at the age of 50, because he couldn't win the championship with the old K, and he would have no face to retire. "

  Wade is a bit at a loss, so we can only count on old K getting old before we have a chance to win the championship?

   O'Neill rolled his eyes when he saw Wade's performance, and comforted him: "Dwayne, let me tell you, you are so young, you can survive the old K even if you suffer, there is no need to worry.

  I bet he'll be dead in two or three years. If you calculate his age, he will be 32 years old after this season, and he will be almost 40 years old in two or three years. "

   "Forty?"

  Wade nodded blankly, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

O'Neill breathed a sigh of relief, now he is under a lot of pressure, because that old **** Pat Riley actually wants to force him to lose weight, he finally gained weight to 160 kg, and he wants to crush that **** old K with tonnage, why should he lose weight ? How tiring it is to lose weight, what should I do if I get injured while practicing?

   Now that he has settled his little friend Wade, the pressure is less, that old guy Pat Riley, who cares, he says his, I eat mine, does he still dare to trade me?
