NBA backer king

Chapter 294 Dive Bombing

It is true that Barkley contributed a lot to winning the championship in 93, but in that finals series, if old K hadn’t played exceptionally well, he would definitely not have been able to beat the Bulls, and this time, old K led the Suns to the finals.

The current Suns team is said to be a dual-core internal and external core, but in fact, as his status declines and old K's strength improves, the team is completely based on low-post tactics. Part of his organizational functions have been shared by old K, and the outer core has weakened. The team has actually formed a single core.

Especially in the finals that are about to start now, under the deterrence of the Bulls' strong perimeter defense, his role as the outer core will be further weakened, and the core of the old K will be more prominent.

Thinking of this, he decided to do one thing, so he walked towards Old K.

"Kevin?"

Lao Wang was a little surprised when he heard that Lightning asked him to go to the finale.

"Whether it's on the court or in the locker room, old K, you are already the true leader of this team, so go there." Kevin Johnson said seriously.

Lao Wang thought about it for a second, then nodded, shook hands with Kevin Johnson, hugged, then high-fived Dan Marley and the others behind him, and walked to the end.

He is not hypocritical, that's how the old and the new are replaced. He used to respect Lightning, but now that Lightning takes the initiative to give way, he will not pretend to be modest.

Dan Marley and others also agree with this change. Just like Kevin Johnson said, Old K has become the true leader of this team this season, both off the court and in the locker room.

The five starters of the Bulls watched the Suns make this change when they were about to play, and some lamented whether the Suns' locker room would be too stable?This is so fucking monolithic!

As far as the Bulls' locker room is concerned, there are actually some hidden dangers. When Grant was there, he had the best relationship with Pippen, and he had a bad relationship with Jordan. Otherwise, he would not have left the Bulls. The atmosphere in the locker room was better after Grant left, but it was not as good as the Suns.

Jordan looked at Old K standing across from him, and suddenly said, "Old K, I heard you will go to the Lakers next season?"

"Bullshit!"

Lao Wang immediately denied it, did this old brat want to mess with the Suns before the war started?

But he doesn't care, because he has already discussed this matter with Kevin Johnson and the others. Everyone in the Suns understands that the current finals are the most important thing, and things will be dealt with later.

And the Suns also know that he has the greatest possibility of staying. As long as Mr. Colangelo can give him a big contract, he will stay 100%. And Mr. Colangelo is not a stingy person, nor is he a person without courage.

He walked up and approached Jordan, looked down at the old bastard in front of him with fierce eyes, and said disdainfully: "Old guy, if you want a dynasty, why don't you come to the Suns. I heard that you only have a one-year contract. Come to the Suns, I promise you can get a dynasty."

Jordan laughed angrily, I'm going to hug your thighs because I'm afraid your thighs aren't thick enough.

At this time, the DJ music was playing outside, the lights dimmed, and two beams of bright spotlights hit the exit, indicating that the visiting team was about to play.

"The audience friends in front of the TV, the fans and friends at the scene, the NBA finals of the 94/95 season..."

The passionate voice of the live host sounded outside.

The first player to play was Kevin Johnson, followed by Dan Marley, Drexler, AC Green, and finally Wang Tiejun.

The United Center arena is not polite. From the moment Lightning came out, huge boos began to sweep through the arena, and reached its climax when Lao Wang made his last appearance.

"Wang Tiejun helped the team win the championship in the first finals of his rookie season. This is the first time he led the team to the finals as a core player. We hereby wish him the championship again."

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly and excitedly.

Far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Fengshen Street in the capital, this high-end commercial street that owes everything to the owner, is already overcrowded today.

Because more and more fans often appear on this street this year. Fengshen Street has not yet opened, and its popularity is very high. It has become the basketball base of the capital. If there is nothing to do, they will hang out here, play in the basketball court behind, or watch the Suns game together.

For their own publicity, the store owners have placed the TV outside the store since the start of the playoffs.

Since the morning, countless basketball fans have poured into this 330-meter-long commercial pedestrian street.

In addition to the street, the same is true for the basketball courts behind. Bai Changsheng also installed many TVs for fans to watch.

Both he and the shop owners understand that the more attention Fengshen Street attracts, the better it will develop. Regardless of whether these fans have the ability to spend here, as long as they can attract attention, it is the best.

At the United Center in Chicago, the game is about to begin.

After Wang Tiejun came out, he greeted his teammates, and then he greeted all the stars on the sidelines.

Now is not the time in 93. At that time, he was still a standard rookie, and there were few stars who supported him. Now he is a superstar, even a superstar. Not only some sports superstars on the scene are willing to support him, but with the influence of CAA and K martial arts, many Hollywood stars on the scene are also willing to support him.

However, Jordan's influence is indeed huge, and it can be said to be far more than him. He has the support of some stars from all walks of life, but Jordan has the support of almost all stars, including those who support him.

"Hello, old K."

"Hello, Mr. Chenglong..."

Under the introduction of Yu Feihong, he got acquainted with Chenglong and others.

"Old K, I'm Mike Robert, I'm your big fan, nice to meet you." Mike Robert said excitedly.

"It's nice to meet you too." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"Old K, can I sign my name?"

"of course."

McRobert took out the prepared pen, pulled up the No. 33 Suns away jersey he was wearing, and asked Wang Tiejun to sign it, as if he was so happy, no different from ordinary fans.

……

At 28:[-], the players stood up from the bench and were ready to play.

In front of the Suns bench, everyone surrounded Wang Tiejun and put their hands together.

He looked around at everyone, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have worked hard for a season, and now it is the last moment, it is time to reap the victory and honor..."

Having said that, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted as hard as he could: "For the championship, let's fight!"

"For the championship! For the championship..."

Everyone shouted in unison, and the few Suns fans in the United Center also shouted with all their might.

"Shh!"

In order to suppress the momentum and morale of the visiting team, the Bulls fans did not hesitate at all, and the frenzied boos sounded, which completely drowned out the voice of the Suns in an instant.

"Champion! Champion..."

But the voice of the Suns is like the chirping of petrels in a storm. Although it is weak, it always exists and never goes out.

From this moment on, the battle between the Bulls and the Suns has officially begun.

Wang Tiejun led the team onto the court, turned his head and shouted to O'Neal who was sitting off the court, "Fatty, I'll teach you how to win the Bulls."

"You won because of the lineup." O'Neill said unconvinced.

Lao Wang laughed and did not object to this sentence. The Suns' lineup is indeed stronger than the Magic.

Ten seconds later, Su Qun yelled loudly, "It's a jump ball! Okay, the Suns attack."

Everyone else pulled away, Wang Tiejun forcefully squeezed Clifford Rosenbin who was blocking him, and ran from the high basket at the top of the arc.

Outside, Jordan gets in front of Kevin Johnson as he approaches the center line.

On the left wing, Drexler plays near the left line, with Pippen matching him.

On the right wing, Dan Marley's range of activities is also close to the right line.

AC Green's active position is in the right short corner area, near the right bottom corner. Toni Kukoc, who is facing him, puts him two meters away and guards a position not far outside the paint area.

Jordan leaned down, followed the advance of the lightning, and retreated and defended. His fierce and firm eyes exposed his defensive attitude.

In the TNT commentary seat, Marv Albert said: "The Suns are very wide, and it is very difficult for the Bulls to double-team on the outside. This will test the Bulls' single defense ability."

At this time, Wang Tiejun had already quickly entered the basket, and Kerry chose to circle forward, and he could only choose to circle forward.

He has the height and tonnage of a power forward, as well as the mobility of a power forward, and his style of play is also a space-based insider. He is 208 cm tall and has a tonnage of 110 kg.

Such a tonnage can only be used to defend Wang Tiejun.

In terms of mobility, he will not be faster than Wang Tiejun now, and the jumping is the same, even worse than Wang Tiejun. Just now, he did not jump as high as Lao Wang when he jumped the ball.

With such athletic ability and physical condition, facing Wang Tiejun under the basket, the effect of going forward will not be very good.

So Kevin Johnson, who was not yet close to the top of the arc, did not hesitate. Seeing that old K was just approaching the basket, when Jordan was slowly retreating, he suddenly dribbled the ball to the right, attracting Jordan's center of gravity, and with a back dribble, he pulled the ball from behind with his left hand and pushed forward with one hand, and the ball flew towards the basket.

"Passed!"

Zhang Lili let out a loud shout.

"Snapped!"

Wang Tiejun stuck his right elbow in place, pinned Kerry to the outside, then took off, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and hit the backhand violently.

"boom!"

While the rim was trembling, the basketball went through the rim.

"yeah!"

On the Suns bench, all the bench players, staff, and coaching staff cheered, as did hundreds of Suns fans.

"Clap clap..."

Many celebrities from all walks of life also applauded.

"This can't win the Bulls. I played like this every game in the Eastern Conference Finals, and I still lost in the end." O'Neal muttered.

"Beautiful! Old K played an alley-oop with Lightning on the first ball." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"The Bulls can't defend Tiejun, as long as the ball can go in, they really can't defend!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Yeeeeees!"

At the moment when the goal was scored, in the TNT commentary booth, Mafu Albert excitedly shouted his signature commentary. He could express various meanings and emotions through this simplest word.

Kevin Harlan said: "We said last night that the Bulls can suppress the Bulls' outside offense and even destroy the Suns' outside organization ability, but it is impossible to cut off the connection between the Suns' inside and outside lines. No team can do this. The offense just now proved this."

Albert said excitedly: "Yes, if the Bulls lose the game, it can only be that they cannot stop Old K's attack in the low post."

The Bulls are attacking, BJ advances with the ball, and Kevin Johnson defends. As soon as he crosses the center line, he hands the ball to Pippen on the left-wing three-point line.

Triangle tactics, three on the strong side, two on the weak side, two on the low post, three on the high post and on the wings.

The three on the strong side form a triangle, one in the low post, one near the top of the arc, and one on the three-point line.

Then, whether it is the one at the top of the arc or the one at the low position, they can form a triangle formation with the two on the weak side, and through continuous movement, new triangles are constantly formed.

Through these triangles, the Bulls can not only quickly transfer the ball and distribute the offense, but also pull the opponent's defensive strength so that it cannot form an effective double-team strength.

The two on the weak side must have high mobility, through frequent running and pick-and-roll, to get open or singles opportunities.

Before there was Jordan's law, Jordan was generally on the strong side, and others were on the weak side, allowing him to play singles.

After that, he is usually on the weak side. With his high mobility, he has the opportunity to run out of space or singles, and this time is the same.

The strong side is Clifford Robinson, who is pulled to the left block, which is near the bottom corner of the baseline, and is defended by Lao Wang.

Pippen was at 45 degrees from the left-wing three-point line, guarded by Dan Marley.

BJ was at the top of the arc, and Kevin Johnson didn't dare to let him go. His three-pointers were the most accurate for the Bulls.

These three form a triangle on the strong side, all three can pass the ball, all can shoot three-pointers, and none of them can let go.

Phil Jackson's only dissatisfaction with this strong-side triangle is that Clifford Robinson does not have a strong low-post offensive ability. The three points of the triangle are all on the outside.

In fact, he is a head coach who doesn't like three-pointers, but the appearance of the two behemoths, Old K and O'Neal, forced him to make a change.

And the Bulls can't find a strong low-post player, they can only find Clifford Robinson, and he can only make the best use of it.

On the weak side, Jordan and Toni Kukoc are running and trying to get open on the pick-and-roll.

Pippen takes the ball, Clifford Robinson suddenly retreats to the left corner, and the former immediately passes the ball to the left corner.

When Kerry took the ball, Wang Tiejun could only keep up. He used to be only one meter away from the left line of the paint area, but now he is two meters away. It is even more difficult to return to the basket.

At this time, on the weak side, Jordan got rid of the glider through the pick-and-roll of Toni Kukoc and got the opportunity to cut inside. AC Green quickly switched defenses, but he was also a beat slower, and he cut into the paint.

"Whoosh!"

Clifford Robinson suddenly took a step up and quickly passed the ball in.

Wang Tiejun quickly took a step upwards, but missed the ball, and quickly turned back to defend the basket, but it was too late.

"boom!"

Jordan caught the ball violently, and it was a tomahawk-style dunk, hitting the Suns' basket.

"yeah!"

Huge cheers erupted from the United Center.

The stars of all seasons on the sidelines also stood up and applauded.

"yeeeees!"

Groom Albert yelled again and said excitedly: "Beautiful! Under the triangle offense system, the opening tactics matched the weak-side inside tactics, completely breaking the Suns' defense."

Kevin Harlan said loudly in a passionate tone: "Yes, the Bulls' offensive tactics are too clear! The tactics fully mobilized the opponent's defensive strength and got an open layup opportunity."

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili reminded: "Tie Jun must be careful, must not allow the ball holder to pass the ball too smoothly, the defense must be oppressive, active and aggressive, just now Kerry passed the ball too easily, this is not acceptable.

The same is true for others, try to use defense to oppress the space and speed of the opponent's ball, as well as the running position. "

On the field, the Suns are advancing.

Before Kevin Johnson reached the halfway line, he passed the ball to Drexler, who responded on the left wing.

At this time, Wang Tiejun reached the low position on the left wing, and Clifford Robinson still circled forward. He gestured at the glider, and the latter quickly passed the ball.

The position of the pass is not the low post on the left wing, but a little bit inside, close to the basket.

At the moment when the glider passed the ball, Wang Tiejun turned around fiercely and quickly cut towards the basket.

While turning around and cutting in, his right elbow stuck outside to prevent Kerry from chasing and defending, and his right hand pressed Kerry when he turned around.

This is some experience he has summed up in the past three seasons. The effect is good, and it is good for offense and offensive rebounds.

Sure enough, Kerry wanted to catch up, but he was pressed on the stomach. With Wang Tiejun's strength, he was directly pressed, and he could only watch his opponent enter the paint.

On the weak side, Kukoc returned to the defense as quickly as possible, and took off to block the shot.

But his bounce is not as good as Wang Tiejun's. Coupled with the huge gap in height and wingspan, the defensive height is a big difference, and it only reaches Lao Wang's elbow.

"boom!"

Under a swooping one-arm dunk, Kukoc, who weighed 105 kilograms, was hit and sunk directly in the air, and fell to the basket like a bird with broken wings.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"yeees!"

Groom Albert shouted excitedly: "The Suns played a simple and clear tactic, and the ball was transferred very quickly. They obviously didn't want to give the Bulls a chance to defend. As long as the ball can pass in and the ball reaches Old K's hands, the Bulls are powerless."

Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "Whether it's Jordan or Pippen, although they are the top perimeter defenders, they can't stop the passes of the Lightning and Glider."

Albert nodded and said with a smile: "Lightning and Glider are not small people. The former was a top point guard in his peak period, while the latter is still a superstar. They have too much experience in playing. They focus on passing the ball. No matter how good a defender is, they can't stop them in single defense."

At the CCTV commentary table, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "The Bulls' inside defense is too weak. With the current low defensive strength, Tie Jun's offense will not consume much physical energy at all. He can play non-stop until the Bulls cry."

Su Qun said with a smile: "No matter how strong the other positions are, as long as one point is always beaten by the opponent, there is no way to do it, and it will be very uncomfortable."
