Chapter 350 First Week MVP Ranked First
At this time, Oakley drove to the hotel to pick up Da Ben, planning to find a restaurant for dinner.

"Ben, how is it with the Suns?" Oakley asked while driving.

"Yes." Big Ben said briefly.

"Are you used to the fourth position?" Oakley asked.

"Fortunately."

"Have you talked to Old K?"

"Said."

"Asshole, can't you say one more word?" Oakley scolded with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Big Ben said quickly.

"..." Oakley was angry.

"Remember, Ben, there is an opportunity to learn some skills from old K. His low-post offense, rebounding, defense, I mean single defense, especially his post-up, if you learn his power-generating skills, you will be able to do it." Oakley urged.

"Well, he didn't teach me." Big Ben muttered.

Oakley glared at Da Ben and scolded: "He doesn't owe you anything, why should he take the initiative to teach you? Beg him, ask him a few more times, maybe he will be willing to teach you."

"Ah."

Da Ben opened his mouth, and suddenly nodded heavily.

But he suddenly realized, looked at Oakley strangely and said, "Charles, you want me to learn offensive skills from him?"

"..."

Oakley was startled, and immediately realized, yes, there seems to be something wrong?

"Then learn defense and rebounding skills. If he didn't focus on offense, the rebounding leader would be his, and Rodman would not take it away." He said.

"Yeah." Big Ben nodded.

……

7th, game day.

"Old K..."

This afternoon, the Suns came to Madison Square Garden for training, and Da Ben suddenly came to Wang Tiejun.

"Want to learn defense and rebounding skills from me?"

Lao Wang thought for a while and nodded. Barkley also taught him these two skills back then. Now he teaches others, and it is normal for the old to lead the new.

Da Ben couldn't help being stunned, did he agree?
He was all ready, and if Old K disagreed, he would ask Oakley for help. Unexpectedly, Old K agreed directly.

From this day on, he officially followed Wang Tiejun to learn defensive skills and rebounding skills.

At the same time, the coaching staff asked him to increase his tonnage, and sometimes he was required to defend against some heavy tonnages. Now his weight is not enough, and his strength is not enough. He needs to increase to at least 240 pounds, which is close to 110 kilograms.

With his height, as long as he has this tonnage, his muscle content will be high, surpassing almost all inside players, and his strength will be highlighted.

So he also started crazy strength training, as long as he has time, he will go to iron.

This night, the Suns and the Knicks had a big battle.

Although they belong to the East and West leagues, the Knicks are at home and definitely don't want to lose, while the Suns want to win more, because the old K wants the MVP, so the game between the two teams is quite fierce.

Wilkins's performance in the first two games was mediocre, which did not meet his wishes, nor his status as a veteran superstar. He kept holding his breath, and this game broke out.

Even if Oakley dropped him three times in the supplementary defense, as long as he got the ball, he would continue to attack the Knicks' penalty area, and the iron-blooded defensive system created by Patwright could not stop his offense.

In the end, he scored 32 points and shot 49% from the field, showing a better performance than the previous two games.

队友迎来了一个爆发，王铁军便在低位收敛了一下进攻，专注于防守和篮板球，本场只拿到了25分21篮板8助攻6盖帽2失误3犯规的大两双数据。

With the excellent performance of the two, the Suns defeated the Knicks and won the first three consecutive victories.

But in fact, they didn't win much, only 6 points. If Wang Tiejun hadn't grabbed 21 rebounds, the Suns might have lost.

There were too many outside turnovers, reaching 17 times. At the same time, as the main power forward, Horry's contribution in rebounding was negligible. There were only 3 rebounds in this game, allowing Oakley to steal 14.

The Suns management also noticed one of Horry's weaknesses as the main power forward. The team's rebounds were much less than when Green was there last season.

But there is no suitable main power forward, and Horry can only continue to play this position temporarily.

In the early hours of the morning, the team flew to Boston overnight, preparing for tomorrow, no, tonight, to play back-to-back against the Celtics.

The Celtics themselves are not good enough. Last season, they also strived to reach the playoffs and played very hard. This season, the management has made a bad decision for the 96 draft.

In this game, the Suns easily defeated the green team, which was not considered strong or fighting spirit, and won the first four consecutive victories.

王铁军三节打卡，只打了29分钟，轰下28分12篮板球5助攻2抢断3盖帽1失误2犯规的数据。

"Old K, League 11 will officially announce the MVP rankings for the first week. What do you expect?" the reporter asked after the game.

"We still have one more game. I hope the Raptors will be stronger and my data will look better." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"You will see your former teammate Oliver Miller in the Raptors. Now his tonnage is as high as 150 kilograms. Do you want to say something to him?" The reporter asked again.

"Oliver? Haha, he ate too much again. I want to tell him, quickly control your stomach, it's best to cut off half of it."

Thinking of Oliver Miller who targeted him many times at the beginning, Lao Wang laughed twice, but after his strength improved and became the new core of the team, Oliver Miller did not dare to provoke him anymore, and the conflict between the two disappeared.

When there is competition, there is conflict, and when there is no competition, there is no conflict, it's as simple as that.

……

On the 9th, the Suns came to Toronto, Canada.

There are at least 150 million Chinese in this country. Toronto is the largest city in the country and the fourth largest city in North America.

On the night of the 10th, a large number of Chinese faces appeared in the arena.

This newly established team made a good start and then lost three games in a row. The current record is one win and three losses, which is the bottom of the league.

Facing the Suns tonight, facing one of the league's most terrifying behemoths, the entire team played quite demoralized.

Especially the team's main center, Oliver Miller, was eliminated by the Suns. It was the old K who competed with him in the Suns. Facing the powerful offense of the old K, even with a tonnage of 150 kg , he was also beaten pale.

Wang Tiejun directly smashed this former competitor by moving faster, turning around more flexibly, hooking, hitting the board, and dunking.

He just didn't use the most powerful iron mountain to rely on, because Oliver Miller's tonnage is indeed large enough, heavier than O'Neal, and has been the league's first tonnage in the past two seasons, and he is only 206 cm tall. The chassis is relatively low, and he can't easily hit it.

王铁军本场打了35分钟，轰下了32分17篮板5助攻1抢断4盖帽2失误2犯规的数据。

Now Horry plays the main force at the fourth position. He plays on the outside and has few rebounds. The team's rebounds are not enough. He has to devote part of his energy to grab rebounds, so the offense is reduced.

After winning the Raptors, the Suns won the first five consecutive victories and ended three away games.

At 9 o'clock this morning, before the Suns left the hotel, the league officially announced the MVP rankings for the first week of the new season.

前五场比赛，王铁场均上场34.8分钟，拿到33.8分16.8篮板5.8助攻1抢断3.6盖帽1.8失误2.8犯规的数据。

Temporarily ranked No. [-] in scoring and No. [-] in rebounding, and also No. [-] in personal efficiency, offensive efficiency, and win-loss value in the league.

The defensive efficiency ranks first in the team and tenth in the league.

At the same time, the Suns have won five games in a row. Like the Bulls, the two teams are tied for first in the league.

However, his personal data is stronger than that of Jordan, temporarily ranking first in this week's MVP ranking.

Lao Wang paid attention to Jordan's statistics, 33 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2 turnovers, and 2.4 fouls. This is also a very strong statistic. The scoring is 52.5 points higher than the average of last season, and the shooting percentage is also [-] percentage points higher, reaching [-]%. At Jordan's age, he can still play such a versatile statistic, which is really unprecedented.

You must know that Jordan is almost 33 years old. Looking at the Lightning who is less than 30 years old, the gap between them is too big.

After the two, the Spurs' David Robinson ranked third, then the Jazz's Karl Malone, the fifth was Big Dream, and the sixth was actually Penny Hardaway of the Magic.

Without O'Neal, Penny Hardaway led the team to a record of one loss and four wins, averaging 26 points and 7.4 assists per game. The upper position is very strong. Under the publicity of Orlando Multimedia, the limelight of Jordan's successor is getting stronger and stronger, which has put a lot of pressure on O'Neal.

After the list was announced, the management of the Orlando Magic held a meeting to discuss the core battle between Hardaway and O'Neal again.

However, there is still no result. After all, this is only the first week, and Hardaway's subsequent performance is hard to say.

But in the meeting, more people expressed greater concerns about O'Neill's injury.

They are afraid that after making O'Neal the core of the Magic's future, there will be serious injuries, because once the center's knee is injured, injuries are likely to follow.

Moreover, O'Neal is still a behemoth center, and the pressure and wear on his knees far exceed other centers, so injury factors will be more important.

In short, the Magic management has a consensus. Because of this injury, they believe that O'Neal cannot be viewed at the same level as the old K. The old K's ability to resist injuries is obviously stronger than O'Neal.

At this time, Jordan was also talking about mvp and scoring champion with David Frank.

What the agent meant, you can argue. He knew that Jordan didn't make a full shot, but Jordan refused.

Jordan said: "I didn't do my best, and the same goes for old K. He didn't get the mvp last season. Do you think he will compete this season?
I don't lack mvp, let alone scoring champion, my goal is only the championship.

Although my physical fitness is good, I can't compete with him in the regular season.

What's more, do the Suns have the absolute strength to reach the finals?uncertain.

I guess old K's biggest goal this season is mvp. If I compete with him for mvp, he will definitely do his best in the regular season.

Therefore, the team record can be contested, but personal data is not necessary. "

……

Back in Phoenix, Wang Tiejun arrived at the martial arts gym. The medicinal materials from Los Angeles have been shipped here, and they are all packaged. The ingredients for medicinal bath and diet are in bags, and the medicinal oil is in a [-]ml bottle.

On this day, the three-month physical training was completed, and he was promoted to two levels. He had already been promoted to level 101. This time, he was promoted to level 103, and his potential level was 105. However, the improvement limit of medicinal bath was 4, which meant that he could still improve by [-] levels through medicinal bath and physical training.

Now he still has the last 200 points in his hand. After thinking about it, he didn't exchange for the physical fitness training card. This season he wants to compete for the MVP. Although he has 101 physical fitness, he doesn't need to waste it on training, he has to use it on competitions.

On the night of the 12th, the Suns defeated the Warriors at home and won six consecutive victories, but there were no games for the next two days and they rested at home.

……

On the night of the 14th, Rodman was sidelined due to injury and the lineup was not complete. As a result, the unbeaten Bulls unexpectedly lost to the Magic without the Sharks.

乔丹20投仅8中，三分球7投4中，命中率比整体命中率更高，杀伤力也不够，只有5罚4中，得到了23分7篮板6助攻2抢断的数据。

Pippen's efficiency was even worse, the same 20 shots, only 7 of them, 6 of 1 three-pointers, 16.7% hit rate.

And Jordan's successor Penny Anfernee Hardaway, who played against Jordan, played extremely well. He played 40 minutes, made 18 of 12 shots, and his shooting percentage was as high as 66.7%.

Facing his draft template, Jordan, he had a very strong desire to attack. There was not one assist in the game, but four turnovers. This is also the fly in the ointment of this game.

However, his performance made the Magic management very excited. In the last playoffs, O'Neal led his team to be eliminated by the Bulls, but now Hardaway led his team to defeat Jordan's Bulls.

As a result, O'Neill's status in their minds has slipped a bit. The last decline was due to O'Neill's injury.

If it is said that the magic management valued O'Neal more because of the old K's turning out, but after O'Neal's agent called out the seven-year $[-] million contract, and then O'Neal suffered serious injuries, in the hearts of their management, O'Neal and Hardaway were at the same level.

But now, Hardaway's outstanding performance has begun to make his position in the hearts of the Magic management begin to rise upwards, and the balance has begun to tilt towards him.

……

On the night of the 15th, after two days of rest, the Suns lost to the Nuggets and ushered in their first loss of the season.

The two sides drew in regular time and played three consecutive overtime games.

This is also the first time Wang Tiejun played three overtime games, but the result made him regretful and lost the game.

The Nuggets played an explosive game, one with 30+, three with 20+, and three with 10+. A total of 7 people scored in double figures. The team scored 137 points in total and defeated the Suns with a gorgeous offensive performance.

The Suns' offense also played well, scoring 131 points, and even the backup guard Person also scored 18 points.

It's a pity that they allowed their opponent to get more points, so they lost the game.

Wang Tiejun played 58 minutes and only rested for 5 minutes. He even scored 55 points and 25 rebounds. He shot 53% from the field, which is the lowest data this season.

The outside teammates couldn't pull away, and the Nuggets shrank their defense and created a suffocating defensive system with Mutombo as the defensive core. The most important reason for his efficiency decline was to defend him with a lot of ants.

Last season's DPOY Mutombo played the top defensive performance in this game and sent 7 big caps. Lao Wang alone ate three big caps. This is also the most important reason why the efficiency of this game has dropped.

In addition, the rookie Finley made 12 of 3 shots in this game, and his shooting percentage was only a poor 25%. He made 5 of 0 three-pointers, which fully demonstrated the rookie's unstable quality.

As for Wilkins, although he scored 25 points, his shooting percentage was only 40.5%. At the same time, he allowed his opponent to score a Nuggets-high 32 points. His offensive efficiency was low enough, and his defense completely failed.

As Wang Tiejun's inside partner, Horry's rebounding has become the biggest rot in the main lineup of the Suns. He only grabbed 5 rebounds in this game. If it weren't for Wang Tiejun, the Suns would not have been able to drag into overtime and would have been resolved by the Nuggets in regular time.

After the game, the Suns' perimeter defense and rebounding were criticized by the media.

The game was broadcast live on TNT TV. The commentator Dortmund said after the game: "The Suns' loopholes on the perimeter is the most important reason for the Nuggets to score 137 points. Once the Suns enter the playoffs, the first round will be very troublesome.

And the quality of rebounds is also worrying. Robert Horry is only suitable for playing small forward or substitute, he can't grab rebounds at all.At the same time, he can't contribute to the team's low-post defense in the low post. He is more suitable for defense outside the penalty area. "

Laitem also criticized: "The team must adjust the starting lineup, strengthen the perimeter defense, and at the same time strengthen the rebounding quality of the fourth position.

In addition, the addition of Wilkins made the Suns completely unable to play the tactics of last season, that is to say, he completely destroyed the tactical system of the Suns last season, and rebuilding the tactical system is not something that can be completed in a short time. I think the team can let him enter the bench lineup and act as the sixth man of the team. This may be a good attempt. "

Dort was surprised and said: "Letem, are you crazy? That's the essence of human movies. How could he be a substitute?"

Laitem shrugged and said: "This is just an idea. If he wants to win the championship, he should make some kind of sacrifice, just like he signed a three-year basic salary contract with the Suns."

At the scene, Wang Tiejun, who seemed to be fished out of the water, was stopped by a group of reporters in the player tunnel and answered three questions.

"Old K, what do you think of the performance of your teammates tonight?"

"Although the game was lost, everyone worked hard. Sometimes it is like this. Hard work but no gains. But losing a game does not hinder our pursuit of goals throughout the season."

"What adjustments do you think the Suns need?"

"Oh, I'm just a player, can you ask the coaching staff and management this question?"

"What's your opinion on Mutombo's performance?"

"He's good, the best defensive center in the league right now."

After bidding farewell to the reporters, the exhausted Wang Tiejun returned to the locker room with his teammates.

Although he didn't say anything when answering the reporter, in his heart, he actually thought that the team's main lineup should indeed be adjusted.

As for how to adjust, he doesn't know. Anyway, he feels that the configuration of the current main lineup makes him play very uncomfortable, which is far worse than last season.
