NBA backer king

Chapter 359 Fighting the New Shark

Lao Wang was doing acupuncture with Kevin Johnson and Drexler. The glider arrived here the day before yesterday and had done acupuncture for two days.

"Old K, I envy you so much. The boss of the Suns traded Barkley for you, and the Lightning also fully assisted you. Look at how the Magic treat me now? That damned rookie wants to climb on my head to shit and pee, but the management ignores me."

"Old K, let me come to the sun, you go to magic, help me kill that guy."

"Old K, you are 50+ in a row, and you can consume as many possessions as you can. Look at me, my statistics are not as good as last season. That guy didn't pass the ball to me. He completely occupied the possession of the ball. I can only play the second offense. After grabbing the defensive rebound, I will launch a one-stop fast break. Otherwise, the ball will not come back."

"And old K..."

"To shut up!"

O'Neill babbled a lot, and Lao Wang was really tired of hearing it.

He exploded in three consecutive games, not only in scoring, but also in rebounding, defense, and even organization. He even had to play fast breaks in many cases.

"Come, come, shark, I treat you to hot pot."

He beckoned, called O'Neill to the table, pointed to a pot of chili water and said, "Good thing, it can refresh you from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet..."

"Is it from the top of the head to the anus, like Dameng and the others?"

O'Neal looked at the pot of boiling red soup, smelled the choking smell in his nose, couldn't help but twitched his cheeks, and cursed angrily: "Old K, you are so bad, don't try to harm me. Last time the media reported that you invited the glider to eat that thing. I won't be fooled. I will eat medicinal food tonight. I am a VIP of the martial arts gym. I didn't attend the party. Now I have to make up for it."

"Go, go, go."

As long as O'Neill can close his broken mouth, everything else will be fine, Lao Wang quickly agreed.

He didn't eat this table of hot pot today, it was eaten by Lightning and Glider. These two guys have recently become obsessed with hot pot and want to eat it every day. After eating hot pot, they still eat his medicinal food.

He and O'Neal came to the acupuncture room, Drexler and Kevin Johnson were getting up from the massage table, and the acupuncture was done.

O'Neill asked curiously: "Lightning, glider, is this really useful?"

"Of course it works. You'll know it after you try it. It will take effect immediately." Kevin Johnson said with a smile, and Drexler quickly nodded in agreement.

"Old K, why didn't you introduce it to me?" O'Neill stared at Lao Wang dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, there are currently only [-] acupuncturists in the K Martial Art Museum, and all of them are concentrated in the three major branch gyms. If you need this service, you can only come to the Martial Arts Hall. Of course, it is not impossible for you to really need door-to-door service. It is the same as those doctors' throwing knives. The cost is [-] US dollars a time." Lao Wang introduced with a smile.

"Are you going to eat people? Damn capitalist!" O'Neill said angrily.

The glider asked at this time: "Old K, there are Chinese medicine practitioners in Houston's Chinatown, how about their skills?"

"That's hard to say, you can give it a try." Old Wang curled his lips. This damned guy has learned to shop around?
However, all the Chinese doctors he invited from China are very good Chinese medicine practitioners who are good at acupuncture. The service quality is guaranteed. The glider has suffered a lot outside, so he knows it, so he doesn’t plan to lower the price. The K Martial Art Museum only has the most expensive ones.

Drexler scratched his head, so let’s forget it, he’s here for five hundred dollars for an acupuncture session, ten dollars for one session in Chinatown, and five dollars for one session, too cheap and seems unreliable.

When preparing to eat, Zhang Lili and his five CCTV members came over. CCTV will broadcast live tomorrow's game, just in time for the meal, no, they should come here specially for the meal.

Next, the nine people ate three cans of medicinal food + a table of hot pot, sweating all over.

Of course, O'Neill didn't dare to try hot pot. He was afraid of spicy food, so he made him a pot of stewed beef brisket with potatoes.

In fact, the hot pot prepared by Lao Wang has been improved, it is not so spicy and not so oily, and some dipping sauces are also prepared, which tastes good.

"Old K, two more cans."

O'Neill was very rude. He ate a can by himself and almost swallowed his tongue. There was not a drop of soup left, and he asked for more after eating.

"No, this thing needs to be customized. I only arranged two copies here. The extra one belongs to my brothers. There is no more." Old Wang said angrily.

"mean."

O'Neill was dissatisfied.

"Do you want to make a reservation?" Old Wang asked.

O'Neill opened his mouth. Three thousand dollars a piece is really too expensive, and it doesn't treat the wound or the disease, just for one bite, it's too expensive. He gritted his teeth and shook his head.

Kevin Johnson and Drexler just smiled, not surprised by O'Neal's reaction at all.

They are also reluctant to spend their own money to eat it. This is no different from medicated baths and medicated oils. Although those two also cost money, they are good for their careers. There is no medicated diet. They are not stupid, and they don’t really believe that these things can really prolong life as old K said.

"mean."

Lao Wang cursed back.

After the promotion of this medicated diet, the response is really good, but the effect is not seen in a short time, especially the effect of prolonging life cannot be studied, and the effect of beautifying and beautifying the skin will not appear in a short period of time. The medicated diet is not a beauty product, and in fact it cannot prove its effect. Therefore, what is recognized now is its taste, not its curative effect. It is only regarded as a delicacy.

As a delicacy, the price of [-] US dollars is too expensive. The average VIP customers eat very little, and only the real billionaires eat it without any scruples, so the sales volume is not large.

Anyway, he doesn't plan to lower the price, if it does, the style and grade of the entire K martial arts gym will drop, and it doesn't matter if the medicinal diet doesn't make any money.

"Old K, Shark, are you going to compete against each other in tomorrow's game?" Su Qun asked with a smile.

"Can he get the ball? If he wants to attack, he can only rely on himself to grab offensive rebounds." Lao Wang looked at O'Neal with disdain.

O'Neill wanted to refute, but he didn't have the confidence, his fat face trembled with anger, and he was extremely depressed.

"Anyway, I can't let you chop 50+ off my head." He said to Lao Wang with a tiger face.

On this point, Lao Wang did not refute. Without outside support, O'Neal's offense decreased, and he could indeed devote more energy on the defensive end. He has 50+ in three consecutive games. It is too difficult to continue this performance on O'Neal's head. He does not want to blow the cowhide, so as not to be ridiculed afterwards.

"Shaq, did you really fall out with your little brother?" To change the subject, he asked curiously again.

"Fart little brother!" O'Neill said angrily.

"When you introduced Hardaway to me before, you said he was your younger brother, I remember." Old Wang said.

"Pfft!"

Lightning and Zhang Lili laughed instantly.

"..."

O'Neill almost died of anger. He realized that he had come here by mistake today. The bastard old K is really not a good person, and he always satirized him.

"Did you fall out publicly? What's the attitude of the management?" Kevin Johnson asked.

"No."

O'Neill shook his head. He was not such a fierce person, and he did not openly fall out with Hardaway.

"The management didn't interfere in the locker room, and I don't know what they think." He said angrily again.

"What are you going to do in the future?" the glider asked.

O'Neal shook his head and said, "If they force me to do nothing, I can only choose to leave, and it's not that I have nowhere to go."

"Don't come to the west, you stay in the east, change the team and kill the Magic." Old Wang said quickly.

"That's not good..."

O'Neill squinted his small eyes and shouted: "I'm going to a big city, New York or Miami, or Los Angeles, whoever gives me the best contract and respects me more, I'll go there."

"Why don't you go to Chicago and hug Jordan's thigh?" Old Wang said angrily.

"They're out of room," O'Neill said casually.

"Ha ha!"

Lao Wang was so angry that he couldn't continue, this fat man is too shameless, judging by his attitude, as long as the Bulls have room, he is really willing to hug Jordan's thigh, and he doesn't want the face of a super center at all.

"If this news is released, Pat Riley might immediately trade Alonzo Mourning." Lightning complained at this time.

The other three were stunned and nodded in unison.

"Poor Mourning, he is still looking at the Heat giving him a contract worth a billion yuan." Honest Drexler sighed.

"That's mine." O'Neill stared, as if his big contract had been snatched away by Mourning.

Lao Wang analyzed: "Ewing only has a contract of 300 million yuan for next season. Damn it, Sharks. As long as the league agrees, the Knicks really have room to sign you."

"The same goes for the Lakers," Lightning said.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "The Knicks want Jordan the most, and the Lakers have the greatest chance. They don't have any real big names at the moment. The league will definitely be willing to see the Lakers have a super center, so that they can maintain the Lakers' big ball market. Shaq's going to the Lakers is good for the league."

"My favorite team is the Lakers." O'Neal said without any disguise.

"Your favorite are those female stars in Hollywood, right? Unfortunately, they are not interested in you." Lao Wang directly exposed O'Neill's true face.

"How do you know?" O'Neal said angrily.

"Haha..." The others heard it amused and laughed out loud.

But Zhang Lili then said: "But with the Iron Army in the west, whether the alliance is willing to gather two giant beasts in the west is a question."

Kevin Johnson thought for a while and said: "If Shaq really wants to leave the Magic, the league may not be willing to see him go to the Knicks to join forces with Ewing. Mr. Stern has been balancing the league, so he probably won't allow it. But going to the Heat is possible, provided that the Heat trade away Mourning."

A few people chatted and farted, and they didn't leave until it got dark.

The next day, Friday, January 1, is game day.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by ABC TV station. In China, it was Saturday, and CCTV also broadcasted it live.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Magic: O'Neal, Horace Grant, Dennis Scott, Anfernee Hedaway, Nick Anderson

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Ben Wallace, Michael Finley, Wes Liperson, Elliott Perry.

Zhang Lili looked at the lineup list in his hand, sighed, and said, "The Magic lineup is a level stronger than the current lineup of the Suns! The Suns are in danger tonight."

Su Qun also nodded and said: "In the fourth position, Cobra's inside cut is very powerful, and Ben Wallace may not be able to keep up.

His offense is either to shoot two points from the outside, or to cut to the basket, mainly focusing on these two areas. He has high requirements for defenders to follow up and defend. The rookie Daben lacks game experience, and it is easy to follow up. "

Zhang Lili went on to say: "Small forward Denis Steko was the No. 90 pick in the first round in 17.5. This season, he averaged 4 points, 3 rebounds and [-] assists per game. His strength is much stronger than that of rookie Finley.

In addition, with the growth of Penny Hardaway, the Magic's guard line is now the most offensive backcourt combination in the league, and it can definitely crush the combination of Perry + Person. "

Su Qun also said worriedly: "Five positions, four positions are at a disadvantage, it depends on the old K."

"Tie Jun is also difficult. His teammates can't help him. He must be very tired after three consecutive matches."

Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "And O'Neal is not an ordinary super center, the same behemoth, he is faster, stronger, and physically better than last season. He has truce for 22 games before, and his physical fitness is much better than the Iron Army."

"That's really difficult."

When Su Qun said this, he sighed: "In fact, I really hope to see the old K break Jordan's record in 87 and achieve 50 points in four consecutive games. Chamberlain in ancient times is not counted, and the history of modern basketball is the first!"

At this time, in China, not to mention hundreds of millions, at least tens of millions of people are gathering in front of the TVs of various households to watch this game, mainly young people.

With the birth of Wang Tiejun, coupled with the vigorous promotion of CCTV in the past two years, basketball has produced countless fans in China, and it can even be separated from football.

Especially in the capital and Cangzhou, Wang Tiejun's hometown, there are too many young people who like basketball, even surpassing football in these two areas.

Today, Fengshen Street was overcrowded again, crowded by fans from all over the city.

The hundreds of bosses were overjoyed, the popularity of Fengshen Street remained high, and they were very happy to put their TVs outside the door for fans to watch the game, because the root of the most popular Fengshen Street was old K Wang Tiejun, and the day of his real-time live broadcast of the game was the best time to attract popularity.

Behind South Street is behind Bar Street. There are more than [-] open-air basketball courts there, plus dozens of acres of open space, which are now full of fans.

Bai Changsheng purposely installed dozens of TVs in the open space for fans to watch, this will also increase the popularity of Fengshen Street.

On the north side of Fengshen Street, demolition work is underway, the sports center has not yet started, and the bidding for architectural design has not yet been held, but the date has been set.

At the American West Arena, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "I'm not bragging. If our men's basketball team can achieve good results in the Atlanta Olympics next year, basketball will go further in China. I won't say it surpasses football, but it will definitely not lose to football."

Su Qun also followed suit, shouting: "That's right, we have old K in basketball, a real world-class superstar, who can compare with it in domestic football?"

He was excited and only cared about having fun with his mouth, but he didn't know how many football fans and people in the domestic football circle were offended by this sentence.

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton analyzed: "Today the Suns will be more difficult. The Magic will not double-team him. In the past three seasons, O'Neal has never called a double-team when he is facing the old K, so the Suns will not get open outside.

Rookie Finley is not good at attacking the ball, nor is the point guard Perry. "

Partner John Hanks nodded with a smile and said: "Old K has scored 50+ in three consecutive games, and has now scored 50+ seven times. His strong offensive ability has already attracted the attention of the entire league.

But we have to see that it is precisely because the teammates in the main lineup do not have a strong scoring ability that he must strengthen his offense, but in fact this is overdrawing his potential.

He is not a defender, and his overly aggressive style of play also determines that every attack must consume more physical energy than other positions, and the wear and tear on the body will be greater.

The league and the media have always believed that his peak period will not be long, and he will fall immediately once he is injured, so I actually don't recommend him to continue playing like this.If the fight continues like this, the body may be injured at any time under the extreme fatigue state. "

Bill Walton thought for a while and said: "I have to admit that what you said is reasonable, but old K also has his own ideas, he doesn't want to be a mess, so when the team's rebuilding strength is not complete, he must carry the team forward.

Now that the Suns still have the best record in the league, one can imagine how fiercely he has played and how hard he has fought this season.

You and I both know what he wants to fight for, yes, MVP, this is a hard honor that a superstar must have, as the core of a team, this is the honor second only to the championship.

Old K wants to get it, but to get it, he must pay. No one will succeed casually. If he doesn’t work hard, he won’t get it. So he has to work hard, even if he pays the price, this is the responsibility of a superstar. "
