NBA backer king

Chapter 276 John, We Are Together Forever!
"Shit!"

At noon, in the restaurant of the Bulls' training base, Jordan, who was about to have lunch, saw the content of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's interview on TV. He was very annoyed at what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said about the Suns having a psychological advantage over the Bulls in the finals.

If you win the finals once, you will have a psychological advantage. What kind of logic is this?Tiangou, has your brain been eaten away by brain-eating worms?
"The Lakers are really shameless in order to seduce Old K!" He scolded.

"If the Lakers get Old K, their financial resources are much stronger than the Suns, and they will definitely create a championship-level lineup." Pippen said worriedly.

Phil Jackson explained at this time: "Don't worry about this, the current Suns team is strong enough, even if the Lakers get old K, they should not be able to compare with the current Suns team in a short time.

Because they want Old K, they must pay a huge price. The Suns can't let go empty-handed. They will definitely sign first and then trade. It is impossible for the Lakers to get Old K without paying a sky-high price. "

Jordan and Pippen nodded, agreeing with this statement. The Suns management is not a fool. It is impossible to give Old K to the Lakers for nothing. The Lakers cannot get Old K with only a big contract.

Phil Jackson thought for a while and said: "This year, Old K will most likely enter the free market, and next year it will be O'Neal's turn. These two behemoths will make huge waves in the free market. It is best for Old K to stay in the West. O'Neal will also go to the West next year. Let them fight to the death in the West, and our pressure in the East will be less."

"I don't care about that kid O'Neal. Our lineup can beat them. If the Suns can sweep the Jazz, we can sweep the Magic." Jordan said.

Philjack still smiled and did not refute.

What he appreciates most is Jordan's point of never admitting defeat. The more critical the game, the more explosive it is, and the stronger the control over the game. People like Jordan are born for big scenes.

However, it made him think of the old K of the Suns.

That kid, since his rookie season, has performed much better in the playoffs than in the regular season, and his performance in the finals was particularly good. He is also a guy with strong willpower and can play key games. It was really bad luck for Michael to meet him when he was defending his dynasty.

And this year's chance to defend the title, he couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.

I have analyzed the situation where the Bulls and the Suns met in the finals countless times. No matter how I analyze it, the Bulls have no greater advantage.

Drexler's joining the Suns has had a great impact on the Bulls. He will largely restrain the defensive strength of Jordan and Pippen, and the pressure of Lightning Kevin Johnson will be released. It is very difficult for the Bulls to completely lock the Suns' perimeter.

Even if the Lightning is locked, Glider and Old K both have certain organizational skills. It should be impossible for the Bulls to completely destroy the Suns' organizational functions, and limited physical fitness cannot support long-term high-intensity defense.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to relieve the pressure in his heart in this way.

It's a pity that with one breath, the pressure returned.

……

At noon that day, Jazz veteran Donaldson announced his retirement at the hospital, and then the Jazz announced that substitute forward Adam Fecki had entered the 12-man roster.

In the evening, the second round of the Eastern Conference continued.

The game between the Bulls and the Pacers started first, and it ended at 96 o'clock. The Bulls actually lost their second home game and were tied by the Pacers, 93:[-], only losing by three points.

Jordan missed the last three-pointer and failed to tie the game at the last minute.

He scored 30 points in this game, but his shooting percentage was only 45%, which was slightly lower than his performance in the first round and before.

Although Reggie Miller was not as hot as he played, he continued to perform well. He made 5 of 3 three-pointers and scored 19 points.

The Pacers team made a total of 9 three-pointers. The Pacers team was blooming everywhere. Although none of them scored 20+, there were 10 people who scored 6+. They played a very collective game and proved that there is no superstar. Jordan's Bulls can also be defeated.

The Bulls and the Pacers drew a tie, and the Magic and the Knicks game ended later, with the final two wins over the Knicks.

O'Neal's efficiency was not as good as in G1, but among the five starters, Penny Hardaway and Cobra Grant both scored 20+ points, and Nick Anderson also scored 16 points. Relying on the explosion of the main players, they defeated the Knicks.

For the Knicks, Ewing played only 26 minutes due to injury, with 15 points and 4 rebounds, which was disappointing.

On the 10th, the media made various fancy comments on these two games.

There are also various criticisms of Jordan. Some think that he missed key shots, and some think that he did not try his best on the defensive end.

But Ewing helped Jordan attract the firepower of the media because Ewing's performance was so bad.

The media ignored Ewing's injury and only focused on his performance.

In fact, Ewing only played 1 minutes in the G30 game, and the injury has occurred since then.

But no matter what, as the core of the Knicks, Ewing did not perform as expected by the team and fans, which is indeed disappointing.

"The Suns stole Old K from New York, now is the time to bring him back."

The New York Sports Daily published an article on the headlines, publicly suggesting that the Knicks management trade Ewing, and the target is Old K.

"These damn media!" When Ewing saw these contents, the anger in his heart could almost be ignited directly with a lighter.

It's a pity that he is always silent, no matter how angry he is, he can only keep it in his heart and won't tell anyone about it.

"I don't want to go to New York. The bosses of my team boo me. That kind of place doesn't deserve me." Old Wang expressed his disdain when he saw it.

When he played an away game at Madison Square Garden, he personally witnessed Ewing being booed by home fans. It must have been a very uncomfortable feeling. No wonder Ewing has a dead skin on his face all day long and never interacts with Knicks fans.

Rest in the morning and come to the team for adaptive training in the afternoon.

In the evening, the American West Arena was brightly lit. The G2 game between the Suns and the Jazz started. At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Jazz: Karl Malone, Tom Chambers, David Benoit, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton

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

In the ESPN commentary, Oldman said: "Veteran Donaldson has retired, and the Jazz no longer has a real center. The postman must face Old K from the very beginning. I think he will be under a lot of pressure."

Partner Luo Lin nodded and said: "The postman opened his chest to the media at the press conference..."

"Pfft!"

Hearing Rowling's description, Oldman burst out laughing uncontrollably.

Rowling himself also laughed, and then said: "We can see that he was greatly traumatized in the direct confrontation with Old K.

Old K's horrific blows caused a large area of ​​blood on the postman's chest. If the postman was not too strong, no one would be able to fight against Old K for such a long time.

Although the postman lost the game, I have to admire him, because even the three super centers are avoiding such a strong confrontation with the old K. "

Oldman analyzed: "It should be Jerry Sloan's order. That is a tough head coach. Old K's mobility is already very good, better than the postman. If the postman doesn't fight hard, he can't defend against old K."

"But the effect of hard defense is not good. Look at the efficiency of old K in G1. The postman can't defend old K at all without double-teaming." Luo Lin said.

"What about double teams?" Oldman asked.

Rollin thought for a while and said, "It's definitely useful for the postman to double-team, but with Old K's passing and assist ability, the Jazz will also pay a big price."

At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.

For the jump ball, Pharaoh gets the ball first, and the Suns attack first.

"Postman, come on, let's continue." Pharaoh yelled at the postman after he got the ball in a low position on the left wing.

"Are you afraid of you?" The postman didn't show any weakness, he straightened his chest and pushed forward.

"Oh!"

What responded to the postman was Lao Wang's ferocious iron mountain attack.

There is no gimmick, the body fat percentage of the two is not as high as that of O'Neill, there is not too much reduction of the fat layer, and it is a pure musculoskeletal contest.

The collision of power seems to have produced sparks. The heavy impact sound and the impact image instantly transmitted the invisible spark to the eyes of countless people along the sound waves and vision. In an instant, their adrenaline soared wildly. Their breathing stopped immediately, and their eyes were fixed on the basket.

"Hold it!" Old Zhang said in surprise at the CCTV live broadcast.

"Oh!"

In the next moment, Wang Tiejun's second attack came one after another.

At this moment, the postman's front foot suddenly retreated.

"Oops!"

Old Zhang's eyes widened.

"Snapped!"

Under the opponent's evacuation, Wang Tiejun's left shoulder and back hit the postman's left chest, but it didn't hit firmly at all.

It's just that his low post technique is really good, and he has a strong sense of rhythm. The postman didn't fully achieve the effect of evacuating, and he was still hit. With some reaction force, his center of gravity was not completely lost.

But at this time, when the postman took his ball a little out of control, he suddenly went up and made a steal. At the same time, taking this opportunity, the small forward David Benoit also rushed down and double-teamed him, which made him panic. Finally, Benoit snatched the ball.

"Old K made a mistake, and now the Jazz counterattacked, but the Suns retreated quickly and turned into a positional battle." In the ESPN commentary booth, Oldman said quickly.

"The postman's experience is still richer. Let's see how old K handles it." Luo Lin laughed.

"It's okay to make a mistake once in a while. Old K's low post play is not so easy to defend. Dameng and their three super centers often withdraw when defending Old K alone, but they still can't handle Old K." Oldman laughed.

The Jazz pulled inside and outside, and the Suns' penalty area was emptied. At this time, with the help of the pick-and-roll, Jeff Hornacek cut in without the ball, received the ball from John Stockton, and made a layup.

Pharaoh and Green returned to the basket, already a step slower.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Today, the postman's defense has changed a bit, it is more flexible, and he is not blindly fighting to the death, which shows that the Tiejun really made him suffer in the game the day before yesterday.

Let's not worry about Tie Jun's mistake just now. We should look at this issue from another angle, that is, the postman is dodging the strong confrontation with Tie Jun.

This is good news, when he loses his toughness on the defensive end, the iron army's strong attack can play the most effective. "

Sun attack.

Pharaoh was still in the low position on the left wing, and asked for the ball again.

"Come again!"

When the ball was still flying over, he shouted in a deep voice.

"Oh!"

What responded to him was the impact of the postman.

But it didn't bump him, the ball fell into his right hand, his left elbow was out against the postman, and while he was in the box, his offense began immediately.

"squeak!"

With the sound of the sneakers rubbing, he turned and slid down, and under the bear step, his body was also in a state of switching between moving and hitting.

As he turned and slid to the bottom, the postman retreated immediately.

At this time, he thought of what Jerry Sloan reminded him last time, that old K is very good at hitting opponents who are in a moving state, so he also put up his full energy.

But even though he was more careful, he was hit by Lao Wang.

As soon as Wang Tiejun turned around, he noticed that the opponent was retreating, and immediately took a bear step forward, and the moment he quickly approached the opponent, his feet stopped, and the six forces combined into one, and Tieshan exploded by fighting.

"Oh!"

There is plenty of room for force to be exerted. This shot produced a very powerful force, and the sound of the impact was particularly heavy.

"Damn it, got knocked into the air again?"

The postman didn't have much power to resist. While he was on the move, he let out a muffled grunt. He threw his upper body back sharply, and then rolled backwards. His feet were knocked off the floor, and it could be said that he was knocked into the air.

"Oh!"

When he hit the floor, he saw the damn old K flying over him.

"boom!"

Under the dunk with one arm, the basket was also shaken three times.

"yeah!"

The audience erupted with a bang, and countless people stood up, raising their arms and shouting wildly.

In a hotel in New York, O'Neill was staring at the TV in a daze.

He had suffered and been knocked over by Old Wang's move. He couldn't understand how Old K did it. He was clearly slipping and moving. Why did he burst out with such a powerful force in an instant? How did he exert his force at that moment?
"Is it kung fu?"

The thought came up immediately, and I couldn't suppress it anymore. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it should be like this.

In fact, he just didn't pay attention to it. Lao Wang told the media in his rookie season that his skill of relying on power comes from martial arts, otherwise there is no need to make wild guesses here.

"Do you want to join K Martial Arts?"

Thinking of this, he regretted it a little. It was only [-] dollars a year, and he had a sneaker contract worth tens of millions of dollars. He shouldn’t have been so stingy with old K. He ran away after eating a meal, and ran away without leaving any farts.

……

At the American West Arena, the game continues.

"Boom! Boom!"

Less than two meters away from the basket, Pharaoh got the ball and was double-teamed. After a series of beatings, he knocked away the postman and Tom Chambers.

After gaining the space to stand up, he suddenly jumped up, pressing down on the postman under him, pressing his left hand on the postman's face, and smashing the ball with his right hand.

"Damn!"

The postman's face was pinned down, and he couldn't get up at all. Annoyed, he wanted to pull Old K down, but it was too late.

"boom!"

In the next moment, the Jazz's basket was exploded, and the postman was knocked over by Wang Tiejun.

boom!
The cheers of the audience exploded, and the atmosphere of the Suns was completely burned under the forced dunk at the basket.

"The button! Old K turned over the postman! The postman is struggling, but he can't do anything!" an on-site commentator shouted excitedly.

"Surrender, postman, if you want a championship, come here and hug Old K's thigh, he will make your wish come true." Another on-site commentator joked loudly.

"Haha..." All the Suns fans laughed.

"boom!"

The angry postman punched the floor.

"Go hug O'Neill's thigh, I don't have a place for you here, forever." Old Wang next to him laughed.

"asshole!"

The postman was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He got up and shouted at Lao Wang's back: "Damn boy, I'd rather not have a crown in my life than hug anyone's thigh, forever!"

"Carl, don't pay attention to that stinking boy, we will always be together, and we will definitely win the championship." John Stockton ran over and said.

"Yes, John, we will always be together."

The postman stared at the old brother and said affectionately, the relationship between the two was overflowing.

"Crack clap..."

After the bottom line, hundreds of media reporters were pressing their shutters.
