NBA backer king

Chapter 212

This morning, the Pistons announced an important news. The team leader and the league's famous villain Bill Lambiel was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and Lambiel had simply chosen to retire.

After so many years, this villain has become an existence that the alliance has turned pale. His retirement has caused joy in the entire alliance.

In the hospital, Wang Tiejun was on the phone with his agent, Lance Hawksman, and told him the details of the injury and the fight last night.

He only stayed in the hospital for one day. At noon on the 29th, he left the hospital with Liu Changfeng and ran back to the team headquarters.

The Suns are preparing to head to the airport, this time with four consecutive away games to play.

"Old K, didn't I tell you to rest?" Colangelo was taken aback when he saw Lao Wang.

"Sir, I'm really fine. It's impossible to beat Jordan without me. In this game, Jordan and his bulls must have tried their best to kill us. I can't let my brothers bear their anger. I have to stand at the forefront." He said.

Eventually, at his insistence, Colangelo let him get on the plane to Chicago.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Suns' special plane landed in Chicago, and arrived at the hotel at five o'clock.

Seeing Wang Tiejun getting off the bus, the media staying in the hotel were very surprised and surrounded him one after another.

"Old K, have you recovered from your concussion?"

"Yes, the doctor told me it's ok, he said I'm recovering very well."

"Old K, the postman is still lying in the hospital in Salt Lake City. It is said that he has just completed the repair of the cavernous body. So did you win the bathroom battle?"

"Sorry, what a bathroom battle, what a sponge repair, what a mess, I don't quite get it."

After being pestered by reporters for a long time, he answered some questions foolishly, and finally entered the hotel.

At this time, in the Bulls' training hall, the training was over, but Jordan was still practicing shooting. He didn't stop, and the others could only follow the training, otherwise they would definitely be scolded to death.The coaching staff has been with them all the time, and no one dares to leave.

At this time, a staff member came in, came to Phil Jackson and said, "Mr. Jackson, I just received the news that old K is back."

"what?"

Phil Jackson was taken aback.

The Bulls players who were training separately heard it, including Jordan, and they all looked over.

"Isn't he concussed?" Phil Jackson said.

"He told the media that he has a strong recovery ability and he has recovered." The staff member said with a strange expression.

"Damn it! He's a liar. I'm sure that idiot postman didn't hurt him at all." Jordan's voice sounded very sure.

"Michael, why would he lie?" Pippen asked puzzled.

"Who knows? They must have fought off the court. The postman was seriously injured. Maybe he was evading responsibility?" Jordan speculated.

"The Jazz didn't admit that they were fighting privately off the court. What responsibility can they have? The league can't control it." Pippen said.

How did they know that Wang Tiejun just pretended to be injured because he didn't want to be suspended and fined by Colangelo.

However, Colangelo didn't want to make a big deal of it later, so he went along with the flow and publicized that he was beaten with a concussion.

"No matter what they are, Old K and the postman are scumbags. They don't have any good things. Let them eat dogs. Everyone cheer me up tomorrow, and I will completely turn the Suns into scum!" Jordan's face showed a ruthless expression.

The reason why he got out of the predicament quickly after his father was shot, the Suns who robbed him of his three consecutive championships and Wang Tiejun who slapped him were one of the main reasons. He would not let go of the opportunity to take revenge.

November 11, the Suns vs. Bulls game day.

In the evening, the United Center Arena was overcrowded and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

Lost three consecutive championships last season, the dynasty failed, and all Bulls fans were holding a sigh of relief in their hearts. In the new season, the fifth position has been strengthened. They have great hopes for the championship this season, and even hope to start the establishment of the dynasty again.

At eight o'clock, the starting lists of both sides will be announced.

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Austin Thorpe, Ceballos, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

Bulls: Clifford Robinson, Grant, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

Westphal took away AC Green and Horry's starters, because both Thorpe and Ceballos need a lot of space in the penalty area, so in this lineup, Wang Tiejun's basket space is severely weakened, and his offense will It happens more at the close two-point distance of the left and right wings in the low post, and then greatly increases the function of supporting the ball.

"Avenging Bull, the Suns will be burned to ashes by Jordan's anger tonight!" John Hanks excitedly said in the ABC commentary seat, looking at the buzzing United Center arena.

Bill Walton said with a smile: "The Suns were overwhelmed by the Mosaic team. Old K couldn't cope with the double-teaming of meat shields and superstars. At the same time, O'Neal also proved that he did not perform very well when facing the double-teaming of Mourning and others. This shows that the two behemoths also have weaknesses on the offensive end. Only targeted tactics and lineups can limit them."

John Hanks said: "Although the Bulls have brought in Clifford Robinson, it's not like they haven't prepared a tank. With the successful tactics of the Mosaic team, I don't know what kind of defensive tactics Phil Jackson will play tonight."

CCTV also chose to broadcast the game live, counting on the Bulls.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "I think the Suns have to adjust the starting lineup back. Ceballos and Thorpe can only enter the bench lineup. You have severely limited Wang Tiejun's space in the penalty area.

You must know that his mobility is stronger now than last season, and he needs more room for movement. You can only liberate him, not restrict him! "

Su Qun agreed: "Yes, the starting lineup arranged by Westphal is open to discussion."

At [-]:[-], the starters of the two teams came to the player channel one after another, waiting to play.

Enemies in the finals meet head to head and are extremely jealous.

If you want to say who Jordan hates the most in the Suns, it is not Barkley, but Wang Tiejun.

Barkley is his friend, and the relationship is very good, and he believes that the biggest reason for losing the third championship is not Barkley.

If the Suns only have one Barkley, and there is no old K in the low post, he will not lose.

What's more, Old K slapped him in the game. Regardless of public or private, Old K is not only the person he hates the most in the Suns, but also the person he hates the most in his entire career, even more so than Isiah Thomas and the Pistons.

The moment he saw Wang Tiejun, he turned into red-eyed Jordan again.

Seeing Jordan's red eyes staring at him, Wang Tiejun said angrily: "What are you looking at, do you think the bull can restrain me like a mosaic? Let's make your spring and autumn dream, you low position has a fart, a few pieces of paper People, what can I use to limit me?
You have to pray to your God this season, don't let our Suns reach the finals, otherwise you will be good-looking. "

"Damn boy, shut your stinky mouth!"

Seeing Wang Tiejun's arrogance, Jordan also trembled with anger.

He is not a generous person, anyone who provokes him must be punished.

"Well, hit the next 50+, and then find a chance to dunk this kid once?"

He didn't punish this kid last season, but got caught once instead, so the punishment will be doubled this season.

Seeing Jordan's pensive look, Wang Tiejun turned his head to Kevin Johnson and the others and said, "Look at this old boy's full stomach, he doesn't want to kill us in his heart, does he?"

"Puchi, haha..." Several people burst into laughter immediately.

"Damn scum, why didn't the postman kill you? Get out!" Jordan cursed in anger.

"Haha, just rely on the postman's trash? Let's go." Lao Wang laughed and waved to his teammates, and strode out.

"boom!"

He was the first to appear on the stage, and as soon as he emerged, the oncoming boos gathered into an invisible torrent, pressing on his mouth and nose like a tangible body, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

In the crazy United Center arena, those forest-like middle fingers seemed to stab him to death, the endless abuse flooded towards him like a tide, trying to drown him, and those ferocious faces seemed to swallow him up.

The harder the pressure, the more ferocious the counterattack, he is such a person.

At this moment, he suddenly turned around and shouted at the teammates behind him: "Brothers, we are the Bulls' nemesis. Without Barkley, we can still beat them. Tonight, let us do them again, and Michael Jordan must fall at our feet!"

"Oh oh oh……"

The boos outside were so intense that Kevin Johnson and the other four didn't hear what he was yelling, but their morale rose instantly inexplicably. Stimulated by the burst of adrenaline, they roared together.

"let's go!"

Wang Tiejun turned around and strode forward, followed by four people including Kevin Johnson.

Five people rushed into the crazy United Center arena, surrounded by nearly [-] crazy Bulls fans, and never returned.

Jordan stared at Wang Tiejun's back, turned his head abruptly, and shouted at Pippen and others: "Listen up, I want to win! I must win tonight!"

Looking at the somewhat crazy Jordan, Pippen and others couldn't hear what he was yelling, but they knew very well that if anyone loses the chain tonight, there will be no good fruit to eat.

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said at this time: "Today, the iron army is playing against Clifford Robinson. In fact, Kerry is better at the power forward position. His tonnage, mobility, and shooting ability are also more suitable for this position.

Like AC Green, he belongs to the iron man attribute, and he is also very athletic, able to run and jump.

In terms of technology, his low-post post-up skills are not very good. Most of them are shooting. His long-range shooting ability near the three-point line embarrasses his defenders.In addition, he is very active on the defensive end and has a fast defense speed. "

"Guide Zhang, this Kerry should go around to defend the Iron Army?" Su Qun said.

"That's for sure, he might not even be close to defending, because with the current tonnage and strength of the Iron Army, if he dares to stick close, he may directly hit him." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Then how will the Bulls defend the Iron Army? Will they learn the defensive strategy of the Mosaic team?" Su Qun asked.

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "The Mosaic team did defend very successfully last time, and although the Bulls don't have the two superstars in the low post, Dameng and Barkley, they have two insiders, Kerry and Grant, who are also good at defending, and the defense speed of these two insiders is very fast, and their mobility is not lost to Barkley and Dameng.

The difference is that they have no tonnage, and when they want to double-team the Iron Army, their advantage is not as great as that of Big Dream and Barkley.

And they didn’t have a meat shield. The trio of Kerry + Grant + Pippen, compared to the trio of Eric Kleary + Barkley + Dream of the Mosaic team, is a combination that is weaker and lighter from offense to defense. "

At this time, the jump ball started, and Wang Tiejun and Kerry faced each other.

Clifford Robinson wore a bright red headband on his head.

Wang Tiejun felt a little dazzling. He rarely saw NBA players wearing headbands. Only some girls in China wear them. Who wears them?
"Snapped!"

The ball was thrown up. Although Kerry can jump very well, his bounce is actually not bad. In addition, his wingspan has grown a lot, and he is the first to flick the ball away.

Sun attack.

Several people from both offensive and defensive sides poured into the restricted area, and it was immediately overcrowded.

Wang Tiejun was also among them. He was sandwiched between Kerry and Grant. Thorpe was in the low position on the right wing, entering and leaving the paint from time to time. Together, several of them completely squeezed his room for movement.

Pippen was also at the left waist in the paint area, putting Ceballos, who had poor shooting ability, two meters away.

"Hurry up and change people. How did Westphal come up with this starting lineup? He has no ability to spread out at all. How can he create low-post singles opportunities for Old K? Are they crowded together for fun?" Bill Walton shook his head.

"Not only does Old K have no chance to play singles, but he also completely loses the space to break through from the outside. If the inside can't catch the ball, he can only shoot wildly from the outside." John Hanks laughed.

With three seconds approaching, Wang Tiejun could only exit the paint area.

"boom!"

Dan Marley received the pass from the top of the arc and tried a three-pointer over Jordan's head. He was almost blocked and missed the ball.

Grant protected the rebound and the Bulls attacked.

Jordan went down quickly, dropped Dan Marley, then cut the paint diagonally from the left wing, received a pass from BJ Armstrong, and came up with his own unique oblique side dunk, which detonated the United Center.

This time Wang Tiejun didn't enter the paint area, but took a low position on the left wing.

Pippen still put Ceballos two meters away, just one step above him, and could come down to double-team him at any time.

And Grant is under the basket behind him. Thorpe's habitual position is near the paint area.

In other words, if he catches the ball, he will immediately face a three-man double team.

As soon as he asked for a position, Clifford Robinson didn't stand up at all, and went around directly to prevent him from receiving the ball.

Wang Tiejun pushed Kerry away with his right elbow, and the latter turned around immediately to hang on him, but his strength and tonnage were seriously insufficient, so he forcibly pushed him away with one hand.

Then the ball came down.

At the basket, Grant rushed over decisively, trying to break the ball before it fell into his hands.

He immediately took off and caught the ball with half a pat. As soon as it landed, Grant was in front of him, Kerry was behind him, Pippen was on the right, only the left side, and there was no one near the baseline.

The six big hands swayed to their heart's content, blocking all his passing routes.

But the Bulls' lineup has a flaw, the height is not enough.

Grant and Kerry are only 208 cm, and Pippen is only 203 cm. It is impossible to completely block his passing, let alone his passing vision.

He saw that Thorpe was under the basket, his left hand grabbing the ball suddenly sank down, and with a flick of his wrist, he smashed the ball to Grant's feet, hit the ground and passed it from the floor.

"boom!"

Thorpe catches the ball and dunks in place.

2:2, the Bulls attack.

"Hey, it seems that this starting lineup is not useless. Although it limits the old K's low singles, but after the old K attracts double-teams, at least Thorpe will get a chance at the basket." Bill Wharton said.

John Hanks said with a smile: "First of all, old K needs to see Thorpe's position, and then he can pass the ball. Of course, with the height of the Bulls and old K's passing skills, he has the opportunity to do both."

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson was sitting on the bench, thinking about the scene just now.

He also has a meat shield in his hand. Although Jerry Krause's idea of ​​transforming the low post is aimed at the Mosaic team, he also prepared a meat shield. Now he has to consider whether to use this meat shield.

"Look again."

But he doesn't want to use the tank too much, which will weaken the team's offense and reduce the speed of offensive and defensive transitions.
