NBA backer king

Chapter 224 Goodbye Postman
19th, game day.

If the Suns want to make a difference in the playoffs, the Mosaic team is a strong team that must be faced, and the Mosaic team is the same, so in every regular season, the attitudes of both sides are very cautious, and try to play targeted tactics.

But if you want to say whether you have reservations, you must have reservations. Whether it is Dameng, Barkley, or Old K, you have reservations about your personal strength.

In this game, the Mosaic team won in the end, with two wins and one loss, with a higher winning percentage.

The Mosaic team still used meat shields to defend Lao Wang, but in this game, the defense of the meat shields reached the intensity of the playoffs. Two meat shields came on the field in turn, and all kinds of methods were used. In addition, Barkley and Dameng's double-team and supplementary defense really limited Lao Wang's performance. He only scored 17 points and his shooting percentage was only 42%.

On the offensive end, the Mosaic team also made adjustments. Barkley returned to the low post, improving the team's low post offensive efficiency.

After the game, ABC commentator Bill Walton analyzed: "In terms of strength, the Mosaic team is indeed stronger. The old K's ability to protect the basket is still a little worse, and he cannot provide defense for the team. My opinion is that it is difficult for the Suns to break through the Mosaic this season.

If the Suns want to imagine breaking out of the Western Conference last season, one thing must be achieved, and that is the improvement of old K's defense, otherwise it will be empty in the end. "

Partner John Hanks analyzed: "It's a bit similar to Shaquille O'Neal of the Magic. After gaining weight, his defensive quality has declined this season.

My understanding is that the tonnage of these two behemoths is too large, and it is difficult to balance both offense and defense when their physical fitness cannot support them. They can only focus on one end of defense. "

Bill Wharton thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This is also reasonable, but if this is the case, it will lower their evaluation."

John Hanks said with a smile: "Judging from the results, Old K, as the main center, has already won a championship ring. Judging from his data in the playoffs and finals, this ring is very good.

So I mean, if they can really maximize their offense and play terrifying dominance, then it's okay to have a weak defense. "

"Dominate the opponent with offense?" Bill Walton couldn't understand.

He is a veteran traditional center superstar. Based on his perception of centers, starting from Chamberlain's era, a center cannot do anything without defense.

Take Chamberlain as an example, his offensive ability is ten times that of Russell, but the result?He was ruled by Russell all the year round in the playoffs, instead of him using offense to rule Russell. Even if he averaged 50+25 in the regular season, he would still be ruled in the playoffs.

The current three super centers are all stars with excellent offense and defense, and centers with strong offense and weak defense. In his opinion, they are partial. They cannot be called top centers at all, and of course they cannot become super centers.

After playing the mosaic, the Suns returned home and defeated the Kings, and defeated the Timberwolves away, achieving two consecutive victories, and then flew to Salt Lake City.

Lao Wang and the postman fought at the end of November. It has been less than three months now, and the postman has not fully recovered from his injuries, but he has been discharged from the hospital.

Without the postman, the Jazz's record has been declining all the way. Now they are in the ninth position in the West. Can they finally make it to the playoffs? If the postman can't come back, they will also be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

Although the Suns and the Jazz have never acknowledged the private duel between Lao Wang and the postman, there were so many people present, and after a long time, it was also reported, but the official did not admit it.

In the west, the so-called cowboy spirit has always prevailed. Lao Wang was the postman who was injured in a one-on-one duel with the postman. Although he had no moral responsibility for the consequences, he received the most grand booing here so far.

"Crappie!"

On the sidelines of the court, on the Jazz's bench, the red-eyed postman Malone stared at Lao Wang who appeared on the field, wishing he could rush up.

He has started to resume physical training now. He has not trained with the ball yet. He should be able to return in the playoffs, but it is impossible to evaluate the impact on his state.

Although he himself felt that the recovery was good, he didn't have a bottom line in his mind about what would happen in the end.

"postman?"

Lao Wang also saw Karl Malone and walked straight over.

"Shh!"

Seeing him go towards the postman, the midfielder on the scene suddenly raised his head.

The Jazz's security personnel also quickly took action, and half a dozen security guards rushed over, ready to respond at any time.

When the Suns players saw that Lao Wang was looking for the postman, they rushed forward one after another.

There was a distance of two meters between the two, and there were security guards on both sides of the middle, separating them.

"Postman, you can come and challenge me anytime." He only said a word, turned around and left with his teammates.

"I will."

The postman's wolf-like growl sounded from behind.

That night, the whistle was on him, and he fouled six times in just 25 minutes, including three offensive fouls.

However, the Suns still won. Without him on the field, Thorpe and AC Green partnered inside.

After playing the Jazz, he returned home to face the visiting Knicks.

Since last season, the Suns and the Knicks have been rival teams. They played a game in January. It was the Knicks' home court. The Suns won. The Suns will strive to win this home.

At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting list.

Knicks: Ewing, Oakley, Charles Smith, John Starks, Greg Anthony

Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Horry, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

The game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT, and the commentators were Laitem and Dortmund.

At this time, Laitem said in a mocking tone: "The Knicks' main point guard Doc Rivers was seriously injured last season and only played 19 games. He was reimbursed for the season and couldn't play in the playoffs. The backup point guard Greg Anthony sat in the starting lineup, but both of them have similar strengths. It is certain that they were blown up by Kevin Johnson. It is the same for everyone."

Dott continued: "The other positions have not changed. The shooting guard is John Starks who was spanked by the old K. The fourth position and the fifth position are still Oakley and the super center Ewing who were robbed by the old K. Two poor guys."

"Hahaha..." The two burst out laughing.

After the joke, Laitem said: "Dort, have you heard that the Suns once handed over an offer to the Knicks. They wanted to use Oliver Miller to trade Oakley, but they were rejected."

Dott said in surprise: "Really? My God, is the Knicks out of their minds? You should agree to this deal.

"Why?" Latem asked with a puzzled face.

Dott said with a smirk: "Because Oakley is sent to the Suns, then the Knicks can sit and watch Old K and Oakley fight each other in the locker room. They will win without fighting!"

"Haha..." Letem burst out laughing.

At this time, in the player tunnel, the two teams started to meet.

After the one-on-one incident between Lao Wang and the postman, in order to avoid further conflicts off the court, Colangelo had already made arrangements. The security guards of the two teams stood in the middle to maintain order, and it will be the same tonight.

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

"Snapped!"

Lao Wang rushed the ball away in front of Ewing, Dan Marley received the ball, and the Suns attacked.

Pulling away, he ran to the basket, Ewing circled forward to defend, and other Knicks defenders began to shrink their defense. The Suns had some space outside, but not much.

He deliberately strengthened the distribution of the ball. If the outside line is not opened, opponents will wantonly double-team him in the low position. No matter how strong he is alone, he cannot win the world.

"Whoosh!"

Throwing with one hand, the ball flew directly to Horry on the left-wing three-point line.

Horry has been here for so long, so he should be able to trust him a little more, but he is still not at ease with Horry, because this guy is really not a strong shooter, so he still doesn't pass a lot of balls.

Horry is excited. He has been in the Suns for more than half a season. Old K has not given him fifty balls in total, at most twice in a game. Every time he gets a pass from Old K, he is very happy.

"Must go in."

Taking a step forward, facing the defending Charles Smith, he resolutely threw a long two-pointer.

"boom!"

Seeing the moment when the basketball hit the basket, he felt that the next time Old K would pass him the ball would be delayed.

Ewing leaped high and caught the ball with his left hand.

"Old K?"

At this moment, suddenly there was a wind from behind, a shadow was approaching, the pressure on the back was suddenly felt, and the hairs on the back of the neck stood on end.

"Oh!"

The next moment, Juli got up, he let out an exclamation, and jumped forward in the air, being knocked down.

"boom!"

Before landing, the basket above his head was blown up.

"yeah!"

Rising arms, the cheers of the home fans sounded in the American West Arena.

"Beautiful! Old K pressed the super center Ewing to complete a dunk." Laitem laughed.

"The strong tonnage makes old K's ability to fight in the air very strong. Although the three super centers are excellent in offense and defense, but in terms of confrontation ability, even the strongest big dream is not the opponent of old K and O'Neal." Dortmund laughed.

"Shh!"

Looking back, Ewing, who was pushed out of the paint by Lao Wang, immediately came with a rabbit kick after receiving the ball, and then hit a jumper and scored two points.

But this kind of ball is too far away from the basket, and the hit rate is destined not to be too high, so Pharaoh doesn't take it too seriously. If you like to throw more, I don't mind.

Now his defensive strategy against these super centers is a bit of anti-punching and non-anti-shooting. He can throw outside, but he doesn't let you rush in and play at will.

I don't necessarily want defensive data, but it must reduce your offensive percentage at the basket and your offensive shooting percentage.

His help defense is not good, but his single defense ability is still good. Under this strategy, no matter which super center is facing him, even if he scores more points than him, his offensive efficiency is lower than normal.

"Oh!"

He got the ball at the basket, was double-teamed by Oakley, and got an elbow on his face. In his rage, Lao Wang broke out with all his strength, and a ferocious iron mountain hit directly sent the famous villain flying out.

Turning back abruptly, elbowing Ewing away behind him, he yelled, "Go away!"

Ewing couldn't help but pause in surprise when he saw the tiger-like aura of his opponent.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he violently slammed the ball with both hands.

"Ow!"

The American West Arena was in a carnival.

"Cough cough..."

Oakley clutched his chest and coughed endlessly. His ribs felt tingling. It might be a fracture or a fracture, but the bone must have been hurt.

He weighed only 110 kilograms. Although he was strong, he was still injured under Lao Wang's crazy beating.

Lao Wang touched his left cheek, it was already a little swollen so quickly, the damn guy must have used all his strength.

Turning around, he stepped directly over Oakley.

When he moved his legs, Ewing next to him knew that something was wrong, and it was too late to stop him.

"asshole!"

The humiliated Oakley's eyes instantly turned red, filled with murderous aura.

Old Wang turned around and said: "Remember, Oakley, you are not the only one who can use elbows. Next time, I will use my elbows to scalp you."

The cold and harsh words were not high-pitched, but they were so fierce that the murderous Oakley couldn't help shrinking his eyes, and Ewing trembled all over his body.

"Be careful next time, look at his appearance, he's not joking, the postman's scalp was lifted by him when he heard about it." Seeing Old Wang walking away, Ewing told Oakley, and then carefully helped him up.

With Oakley off the field, the Knicks also fell into a defeat, and finally the Suns won a victory.

After playing the Knicks, the Suns ended the regular season in February with 38 wins and 15 losses, still third in the Western Conference.

However, the Sonics lost two games, and the gap between the two teams narrowed by one game.

The regular season ends on April 4, and there are almost two months left. With the approach of the playoffs, each team has also entered the adjustment stage, and the main players have strengthened their rotation.

Kevin Johnson has been working hard this season, with some injuries, plus old injuries, and more rotations.

His rotation caused the Suns' No. [-] position to decline seriously, which affected the subsequent record.

Pharaoh himself did not take a rest, but the average time per game was controlled at about 33 minutes, which was a little lower than before.

On March 3st, Lance Hawksman and the Mercedes-Benz team came to Phoenix and signed a global endorsement contract for the new off-road Mercedes-Benz with Wang Tiejun.

The endorsement contract is three years, 400 million US dollars per year. The level is not considered first-tier, but it is definitely a quasi-first-tier contract.

But in fact the size of the contract is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the brand can enhance his status, a status symbol.

In addition, Mercedes-Benz also presented him with a specially customized G-type off-road vehicle.

Although this G-type off-road vehicle is a new model, it is not really a new model. It is a military off-road vehicle developed in 1928 and belongs to the ancestor of Mercedes-Benz.

The G-type off-road Mercedes-Benz was born in 1979, and it has been 15 years. The previous name was not G-type, but W460, W461, etc. The name G-Wagen was only confirmed this year.

However, this military off-road vehicle failed to enter the military market in the end, so it had to make an emergency turn and push it to the civilian market. Wang Tiejun is the first global spokesperson for this car.

Mercedes-Benz is mainly interested in his popularity in the United States, as well as his temperament and style, which is violence + toughness, which is in line with the style of this car.

But he is not the only spokesperson for this car, Mercedes will also sign several spokespersons from other industries.

On March 3, the Jazz officially announced that the postman, who had been truce for more than three months, was back.

On March 3th, the three-month speed training ended, and the speed increased by 6 levels, and it is now 6/75.

At the same time, the coordination training is also over, and it has also been upgraded by 6 levels, and it is now level 85/91.

A speed of level 75 is considered pretty good for a center forward.

He estimated it through his own tests, and now those super centers and O'Neal who are full of natural talents can still overwhelm him in terms of speed. Other centers have no advantage in movement in front of him, and many centers are even slower than him.

It's just that his current mobility has not been fully demonstrated in the regular season and has been somewhat restrained.

With the improvement of mobility, some of his skills and abilities have also been improved accordingly, this time mainly reflected in defense.

Single defense, raised by 1 level, is now level 87.

Assisted defense, it has been upgraded by 6 levels, and it is now level 71.

Cap block, increased by 2 levels, is now level 82.

Rebounds, raised by 2 levels, are now level 92.

Steals, up 6 levels, are now level 56.

"Co-defense?"

In the next offseason, he plans to improve his defensive ability in addition to continuing to improve his athletic quality. Next season, he will increase his investment in the defensive end and improve his ability to protect the basket.

In addition to defense, there are also some improvements in offense.

The low-level pace has been increased from level 90 to level 91, the low-level surface basket has been increased from level 65 to level 70, and the others remain unchanged.

……

3月10号，随着又一期五十次药浴和药油推拿完成，他的体能潜力提升到了96/99级，抗伤病能力和潜力提升到了91/99级。

However, the system prompts that the effects of medicinal baths and medicinal oils will slow down in the future, increasing by one level every hundred times.

This is also understandable. The higher the level, the slower the improvement. His physical fitness and injury resistance potential level are both level 105. As long as he can improve to this level, a slower speed is acceptable.

On the 13th, the flexibility training is over, and it has been improved by two levels, and it is now level 77/77, which has reached the ceiling of his quality.

At this time, he noticed that his offensive ability around the basket had suddenly increased from 95 to 96.

This improvement should be the accumulated effect of the improvement of various explosive qualities of the body.

"System, my explosive power should also be improved? Can you increase the level evaluation of explosive power?" He asked.

"Yes." The system said.

The next moment, an explosive power level 77/85 was added to his database.

There is another hint at the back: this quality can only be improved passively.

"Level 77, this level of explosive power should be considered good in the paint, right?"

He estimated that the explosive power advantage of the three super centers in front of him should be smaller than the speed advantage, or even no advantage, because his strength and tonnage are greater, and once he moves, his impact power should not be weaker than them.

In terms of explosive power, O'Neal should be the only one with similar tonnage and strength. The other centers, even Mourning, are still a head behind him because of the lack of tonnage and strength.
