NBA backer king

Chapter 424 What kind of bullshit offensive tactic is this?
The game officially started at 08:30, and at eight o'clock, ABC began to broadcast live.

"Hey, is Fatty going to retire?"

Seeing Barkley sitting in the ABC live broadcast seat, carrying out the work of commentator with a smile on his face, Lao Wang was a little unresponsive.

At this time, Barkley said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, hello, I am your friend, the NBA's top [-] superstars, MVP and two championship winners, the great Sir Charles Barkley."

"The thickness of this skin is the top three in the history of the league!"

In front of the TV, Old Wang immediately gave Fatty a thumbs up.

Barkley was partnered with Gomez and Elanton. Elanton smiled and said, "Charles, do you have any other titles?"

Barkley quickly said: "Oh, of course, I am still the No. 11 superstar in the history of the league."

"Who gave it to you?" Gomez said in surprise.

Barkley said solemnly: "Everyone says that, don't you know? That can only show your ignorance."

"Haha..." The two serious hosts all fell down laughing.

After laughing, Elanton said: "Seriously, Charles, you are Michael's friend for many years, a lifelong rival, and Patrick Ewing, so who do you think will win this tiebreaker?"

"Of course it is me."

In the locker room of the home team, Jordan stared at the TV on the wall with determination in his eyes and said.

He turned around to Pippen and Rodman and others and said: "I will never allow the Bulls to be eliminated by the Pacers. We must reach the Eastern Conference Finals."

Under his absolute strength, all the players in the locker room couldn't help but nodded.

Rodman and Pippen, who almost got into a fight for the second child, also looked at each other, and their faces became serious. They knew that if this game was messed up, Jordan's thunderous wrath would definitely be ushered in.

"It must be us walkers."

In the visiting team's locker room, Reggie Miller snorted coldly.

Beside him was Ewing, sweating profusely at this moment. In fact, the locker room was quite air-conditioned, so it wouldn't be so hot. He was nervous.

At the critical moment, out of inertia, Ewing became nervous.

At this time Barkley said: "As a commentator, I must ensure a neutral position, so let's leave this issue to others."

"Oh, who do you want to ask this question?" Elanton and Gomez were a little surprised that there was no such link beforehand.

"Of course it's Michael's deadly enemy, old K." Barkley said triumphantly.

"Oh! Charles, do you want to contact old K?"

"Charles, do you want to interview Old K on the phone?"

Looking at each other, surprise flashed in the eyes of Elanton and Gomez.

"of course."

Buckley nodded, took his mobile phone, and started calling.

The phone was connected quickly, and Lao Wang's voice sounded from the opposite side: "Hello, I'm Old K, who are you?"

"Stop pretending, it's me, Charles, your brother Charles. I know you must be looking at me, stop pretending, and accept my phone interview." Barkley laughed.

"Sorry, Charles, I found a new Larry Bird movie, and I don't have time for your interview," Lao Wang said.

"Puchi! Haha..."

Barkley burst out laughing instantly, lying down on the live broadcast seat and laughing hard.

"Is it Larry Bird's adult movie?" Many people know this stalk, and Elanton also knows some, so he couldn't help laughing.

"What do you mean? Let me know."

Only Gomez didn't know, and looked at the two in a daze, a little anxious.

Larry Bird in front of the TV was also startled, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and cursed: "Damn old K, are you trying to confirm my porn star reputation?"

"Okay, old K, start the interview now."

Barkley looked up after laughing for a long time, and asked with a smile: "Who do you think will win tonight?"

Lao Wang also became serious and said: "I don't have much experience in tiebreakers. Usually, I will eliminate my opponents before that. For example, I never play tiebreakers with the Bulls in the finals. I always play tiebreakers."

"Ha ha……"

Barkley and the other three commentators laughed and lay down on the commentary booth.

"This damn old K!"

Jordan in front of the TV instantly cursed.

"Michael, calm down, don't let old K's words affect your mentality."

Phil Jackson quickly persuaded him, and then said: "Come on, Michael, do with me, relax your body and mind, relax your breathing, and then your mind, let's start meditating..."

Jordan rolled his eyes helplessly. Phil is good at everything, but he is just talking about it.

At this time, Lao Wang continued to say solemnly: "But at the critical moment, everyone will be nervous, and the tension will affect the state, so at this time, the real strong will be highlighted. He is full of willpower, full of extreme desire for victory, and will show strong leadership and dominance."

"I know, he's talking about me."

Jordan broke the tranquility of the locker room, came out of the state of meditation, and said vigorously.

"So who is this person most likely to be?" Barkley asked.

At this moment, Jordan and Reggie Miller's eyes were fixed on the TV. They couldn't see Old K, they could only hear Old K's voice.

Both of them are the leaders of the team. Apart from them, no one is qualified to be the leader of the Bulls and Pacers. The old K must be one of them.

Pippen opened a bottle of water. This kind of thing has nothing to do with him. That stingy guy, Old K, is just doing a stunt. Who else but Michael?
Lao Wang said: "Well, he is most likely Pi Er."

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough..."

Pippen took a sip of water and choked it out together.

"Haha..." The audience of ABC TV station burst into laughter.

"Shet!"

Jordan and Reggie Miller cursed at the same time and raised their middle fingers to the TV.

"Snapped!"

Jordan stepped forward to turn off the TV, clapped his hands, and shouted to his teammates: "Okay, don't listen to that bastard K. From now on, we will enter the fighting state, and the Bulls will win!"

"The bull will win!"

The Bulls locker room responded with a roar.

More than two hours later, the tiebreaker between the Bulls and the Pacers, which was followed by countless people, ended. At 92:103, the Bulls became the winner, and Reggie Miller and Ewing's Pacers were eliminated.

In this game, Ewing made only 24 of 8 shots, 33.3% shooting, 12 of 10 free throws, 26 points and 10 rebounds. Under Rodman's defense, the efficiency was very low.

Rodman overcame his injury in the most crucial Game 44, playing 16 minutes and grabbing [-] rebounds.

Under Jordan's defense, Reggie Miller made 17 of 7 shots, 41.2% from the field, 8 of 2 three-pointers, and only 25% from the field. Adding 5 of 4 free throws, he scored a total of 20 points.

而乔丹则是在雷吉米勒的头上32投17投，命中率53.1%，三分球3投1 中，8罚7中，轰下42分7篮板5助攻3抢断2失误3犯规的数据。

Pippen also scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Center Rick Schmitz also scored 11 points and 6 rebounds. Under Ewing's defense, the data is not good.

Using Barkley's commentary, Jordan played a decisive and great performance at the most critical moment.

At the end of the game, David Stern breathed a sigh of relief. If Jordan failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals this time, it would be a major loss for the league.

But he is very satisfied with this year's playoffs. From the second round, it was full of suspense and competition, and he was also full of hope for the Eastern Conference Finals, Western Conference Finals, and Finals.

With the end of the second round, the battle table for the Eastern and Western finals has also come out.

Eastern Conference Finals, Bulls vs. Knicks.

Western Conference Finals, Suns vs. Jazz.

The former has home court advantage. The season is a seven-game four-win system. The schedule is 5. The Western Conference finals start on May 19, and the Eastern Conference finals start on May 20.

From the next day, starting on the 17th, there were a lot of discussions in the major media about the Eastern Conference Finals and the Western Conference Finals. Some TV media also organized multiple programs, inviting some active and retired stars to participate.

Barkley performed well in the ABC TV live commentary last night. TNT TV station took a fancy to him and immediately invited him to participate in a program about East and West finals, partnering with Bill Wharton, and the asking price was 50 US dollars.

Barkley was very happy. Yesterday, he didn't charge any money for being a guest, but he didn't expect to start getting money now. It seems that the plan to become a commentator after retirement is really right. It's worth looking forward to!
"Haha, old K, prime time at 18pm on the 50th. My show is TNT. It's not ESPN or ABC. It's TNT. Don't miss it. Let me tell you, making a show for $[-] is more profitable than playing a game, and it's easy. I think it's okay to retire now. Well, I won't tell you anymore. I don't have time. I'm busy. Don't call me. I don't have time to answer your calls."

"Dream, on the night of the 18th, TNT TV station, my show..."

"Michael..."

"Clyde..."

"Moses……"

"Doctor J..."

"Big Bird..."

When he was happy, he immediately made a phone call to show off.

The Suns coaching staff took a day off. On the morning of the 18th, the management, the coaching staff and all the players held a tactical meeting.

Danny Ainge first emphasized the importance of anti-pick-and-roll tactics. The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics are much better than the Sonics. If they do not do well in anti-pick-and-roll tactics, it is easy for the Jazz to get open and misplaced opportunities.

Defensive assistant coach Lewis said: "From the inside, the postman's low post and near two-point offense accounted for only [-]%, and [-]% was in the middle two-point and long two-point area, while Campbell was just the opposite. So I think the old K defends Campbell, and the troll pulls out to defend the postman. The troll's pick-and-roll ability is still good, and the postman has a height advantage."

Little Nelson said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the postman's elbow."

Danny Angie shook his head and said, "Normal elbows must be eaten, but the postman is beating us now, so he doesn't dare to hit us hard. Old K is staring at him."

Lewis went on to say: "Outside defense, the back line must be the strongest defense. If you play a double control tactic, it is recommended that Kidd defend Stockton. Although the Lightning is a bit disadvantaged by Hornacek's height, they should be able to handle it. They are teammates for many years and know each other very well."

"You can only play double control." Danny Ainge said.

Wilkins can only play as a substitute, and the bench lineup also needs scorers. Chapman can attack, but not defend. As for Kobe, a rookie, he is too hungry for the ball and is unreliable now. Only double control is the most reliable tactic he thinks.

Corbett, who was sitting in the back, was unconvinced. He didn't even need a shooting guard. With the shitty double-control tactics, wouldn't he be afraid of the two point guards fighting?

After discussing the defensive tactics, everyone packed up and prepared to end the meeting. D'Antoni was dumbfounded. What about the offensive tactics?I'm in charge of offensive tactics. If I don't discuss offensive tactics, what do you want me to do?
"Danny, attack, haven't discussed offensive tactics yet." He quickly reminded Danny Angie who was about to leave.

"Offensive tactics?"

Danny Angie was stunned, shook his head and said, "Then there's nothing to discuss, just hand the ball to old K. Isn't it the same for us all season long?"

D'Antoni froze, feeling the urge to cry.

Damn, that's how you're the head coach?What idiot asked you to be the head coach?A generation of vegetarians!

Offense, ever-changing offensive tactics, charming offensive tactics, just a word here, hand the ball to old K?

What kind of bullshit tactic is this?
Ugly center play, damn center play, fuck your Suns, you're just fouling the offense!
I quit, I want to resign, I want to go back to Italy.

"Mr. Colangelo?"

"Mike?"

Little Colangelo stopped, turned and looked at D'Antoni who called him, waiting for the latter's words.

"Mr. Colangelo, I..."

D'Antoni spoke, but said: "My contract is coming to an end, is the team willing to renew my contract?"

Colangelo smiled, reached out and patted D'Antoni on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will give you an answer after the playoffs."

"Ugh!"

D'Antoni looked at Colangelo going away and shook his head in disappointment.

He was born in the NBA. Although he did well in Italy, he still hopes to return to the NBA. He doesn't want to say leave easily. His dream has not yet come true.

But Colangelo's words were politely rejecting him, and he was not stupid, so he could tell.

Colangelo, who left, is also shaking his head. Over the past year, D'Antoni has often talked about some of his tactical theories in front of him, advocating small ball tactics, and he has long been a little impatient.

Obviously the team has a giant beast, but they still want to do small ball fast breaks in the team. Is there something wrong with this person's brain?He felt that sooner or later, D'Antoni might suggest that he sell Old K.

So he has decided to let D'Antoni leave after the playoffs and let this guy stay in the Suns. If some of this person's remarks reach the old K's ears, it may cause old K's misunderstanding, thinking what he wants.

In the afternoon, after a day off, the team resumed training to maintain their form.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the Jazz arrived in Phoenix.

At five o'clock, after settling down in the hotel, a press conference was held at the request of the media.

"Coach Sloan, facing the rival Suns, what expectations do you have for the Western Conference Finals?" The first question was a reporter from the New York Times.

Jerry Sloan replied calmly: "The Suns are very strong, and we will go all out to win."

"Postman, will you meet old K?" the Los Angeles Daily reporter asked.

"Depending on the situation, we won't let Old K get a chance to get close to the basket easily." Karl Malone said firmly.

"Are there any off-court problems between you and old K?" the reporter asked.

After hesitating for a moment, the postman said, "No, we have never had any other problems. We are just players in the same league. We only compete on the court."

"Postman, are you confident to reach the finals?" asked the next reporter.

"We are stronger than last year and full of confidence. We believe that we can enter the finals. No one can stop us, even Old K." The postman said confidently.

"He's dreaming!"

Wang Tiejun's home, Old Wang said.

In addition to him, there are a large group of people in the family, including Zhang Lili and his teammates, Lightning and Kobe, as well as Glider and Dameng, Lei Gongdan Marley who came to watch the Western Conference finals, and a group of brothers called from the martial arts gym to help. He and the chef are making something to eat, and the house is very lively.

"Old K, don't be careless, the Jazz are very strong this season." Glider reminded.

"Old K, Campbell's tonnage is 280 pounds, 127 kilograms, and the postman's tonnage should be 130 kilograms. Although they are not as good as you, they can defend you with one support and one help defense." Dameng also reminded.

"It must be Campbell's top defense, and the postman who is a little faster will help you. You can't use sideways to attack. With their physique, it is difficult to effectively kill them. They must be very strong in double-teaming you." Lei Gong said.

Lao Wang nodded and said, "I will be careful."

"With Old K's passing ability, the Jazz will suffer a lot." Dameng laughed.

"If they don't switch fast enough, Old K's pass can kill them." Lightning nodded.

"Brother Tiejun, you can eat."

"Here we come. Let's go, dinner is ready."

At this time, there was a shout outside, Lao Wang greeted, and a group of people rushed out of the living room.

There was a row of long tables on the grass outside, full of pots and cans, piled up with food, and prepared wine, red and white beer.

"Let's drink some red beer, drink less, and let them drink white beer." Old Wang greeted Lightning and the others.

Everyone was eating and drinking, talking about some interesting topics.

"Robert, where are you going next season?"

Dameng asked about Horry's former teammate. Horry played the main small forward by his side in his rookie season.

"I don't know now, let's talk about it later."

Horry's mood was affected, and he said in a low voice.

He was traded from the Mosaic team to the Suns. After two years of painful transformation, he gave up the style of play and style formed in the NCAA. Now he has just stabilized and may have to leave the Suns. For him, it is not a good one. matter.

If he goes to another team, a role player like him needs to cooperate with the team. If his positioning is different from the Suns, he may have to transform.

Transformation means a decline in data and performance. If the transformation is not successful, it will be even worse, so he actually does not want another transformation.
