Chapter 119 Fighting Sharks Again (plus one more chapter)

   Win the Pistons, the Suns rest the next day, and only one home game against the Magic is left before the All-Star break.

   This morning, Lao Wang conducted two systematic trainings in the morning, resting at noon, and preparing to train rebounding skills with Lao Zhang in the afternoon.

   His points have not moved, because the season is halfway through, and he needs to recharge his batteries. He can only wait for the original four trainings to be completed before starting a new training, and he cannot add more.

   In fact, his physical fitness is obviously not as good as a month ago. If he entered the league from the beginning of the season, he would have hit the rookie wall by now, and he played two months less. But even so, because his style of play consumes too much physical energy, the problem of his physical energy reserve has begun to appear, and the rookie wall may appear at any time.

   However, the rebounding training card is to be used. This physical energy consumption is not too large. There are several main training contents. The first is to predict where the ball will fall, the second is to move the card position, and the third is to protect the ball.

   The training time for this rebounding is three months, which can be completed in advance. The total training time is 100 hours, and there is no need to maintain an hour of training every day. After completing the training, it will be upgraded to 5 levels.

   The training requirements this time are very favorable. It requires the accumulation of experience. He can practice more when he has time. Anyway, this physical energy consumption is not large.

   But training requires two assistants, one for shooting, one for rebounding with him, and he also needs another trainer.

   At two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Baica arrived at the agreed time.

He is a black man, the interior trainer of the Suns, 38 years old, a marginal player in the NBA before, with average athletic qualities, average static talent, and good skills, but he was eliminated after playing for two years without getting any chance. Participated in Pharaoh's party this time, the assistant that Pharaoh paid for.

   "Luo Baika, work hard, I won't pay you for water." Lao Wang shouted.

   "Don't worry, old K, I promise that you won't be able to grab a rebound easily." Luobaika, who is 209 cm tall and weighs 114 kg, patted his chest.

   "Bang bang bang..."

   Next, Zhang Lili pulled a frame of **** and began to shoot continuously, while Luobaika and Pharaoh kept fighting for rebounds.

  Luo Baika did what he said, he fought hard for every ball, and even performed small movements, completely simulating the real game, which made Pharaoh very satisfied.

   After three hours of training in the afternoon, plus a rest period in between, the training ended at six o'clock.

Pharaoh was too tired to lie on the floor and couldn’t get up. He originally thought that rebounding training was not tiring, but he was wrong. Almost every rebound requires intense confrontation before he can grab it, plus constant take-off and continuous take-off. , the physical energy consumption is no less than that of strength training, and you can no longer practice like this in the future.

   "Old K, I heard that you practiced for three hours in the morning, you have to pay attention, don't waste your physical reserves." When leaving, Luobaika reminded.

   "Don't worry, I can count." Old Wang gasped.

   He completed strength training and flexibility training in the morning, and pace and coordination training in the evening. It is essential every day. Physical energy consumption is huge, but there is no way. If you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, you must work hard.

   "System, if I optimize my shooting technique, can I improve my hook level?" Lying on the floor, he asked in his heart.

   "Shooting is a basic skill, but the technical action of the hook is different from the general basic action of shooting, so optimizing the shot will not improve the hook hand much." The system said.

   He wanted to spend 500 points to optimize his basic shooting skills. The main purpose was to improve his hook, but it didn't work. He was a little disappointed.

   But he is still going to spend this point, because it is useless to keep it.

   "System, I am now optimizing my ball-handling skills. If my flexibility and coordination improve in the future, will my ball-handling skills be improved accordingly?" he asked.

   "No, the host needs to be trained accordingly." The system said.

"Understood."

   He gave up his plan to optimize his ball-handling skills now, but decided to wait until the end of the month to optimize his flexibility and coordination training, which would be more effective.

   "Is the system, basic shooting skills related to the improvement of the jump shot?" He asked again.

   "Basic skills determine the ceiling of techniques such as jump shots, turnaround jump shots, etc. The most correct improvement must be to improve basic skills first." System said.

   Well, he still decided to optimize his basic shooting skills, which is not bad for these 500 points, that is, his combat power still needs to be improved.

   But he doesn't plan to optimize other skills. It's too difficult to accumulate points. Halfway through the season, he wants to accumulate more points and improve his sports quality in the offseason. This is the foundation.

   Anyway, even if some technologies are optimized now, the improvement in strength will not be large. When the quality is improved in the future, his ceiling will be improved, and then the technical optimization will be carried out to maximize the benefits.

   For example, his jump shot is only level 48. How much can he improve even if he is optimized? In the past, his hook rating was much higher than his jumper, and he did not improve much. Now his hook hit rate is not high, and it is still lower than the average technical center.

   "System, exchange me for a skill optimization card, I want to optimize basic shooting skills." He said.

   "Exchange begins... Exchange ends... Optimization begins... Data transfer begins..."

  A large number of shooting memories formed a memory imprint in his mind, and then formed a muscle instinct. Without training, it directly became a basketball technique that Wang Tiejun could master.

   However, these shooting techniques are only the most basic basic skills, and there are no complicated and high-end skills.

   However, these technical movements are no longer the technical movements of his original shooting, just like the technical movements of the hook, they have become the technical movements that are most suitable for his current body.

"Host, your shooting has been increased from level 50 to level 75, the low-post close-range attack has been increased from level 74 to level 78, the low-post turnaround jumper has been increased from level 20 to level 22, the hook shot has been increased from level 85 to level 86, and the throw has been increased by Level 50 was raised to level 55, board shot was raised from level 50 to level 55, and jump shot was raised from level 48 to level 65.”

   "Level 65 jump shot?"

  Although many skills have been improved accordingly, Comrade Pharaoh is not very excited, because the 65-level jumper is not lazy in actual combat, and the hit rate is too poor, but it just wastes the ball and lowers his evaluation.

   He thought about it again, should he optimize his jump shot now?

   But he endured it. It will soon be the end of the month. He needs to save enough points to exchange training cards for flexibility and coordination again. This is the most important.

   Besides, he has a higher-level hook and jump shot, which is not too important to him, just one more finishing technique.

   Hooks and jumpers, he prefers hooks because hooks are harder to block.

   When his quality improves in the future, he will optimize the hook again, focusing on improving this finishing technique, so that he can eat all over the world with one trick.

   At four o'clock in the afternoon, the magic had arrived in Phoenix.

   As last year's No. 1 overall pick, O'Neal's peak performance was undoubtedly a big surprise for the league, and many media have even listed him as the fourth-best super center.

   At five o'clock, Magic checked into the hotel, and held a press conference at the hotel at six o'clock.

   "Iron Army, the magic is here, look at the news reports."

   Lao Zhang, who was preparing dinner, turned on the TV, tuned to Phoenix TV Sports Channel, and continued to choose dishes.

   Soon, the sports news at six o'clock begins.

   "Damn pervert, it's better to cut 20+10 off his head this time, otherwise the gap with him will be even bigger." Seeing O'Neal appearing on the TV screen, Pharaoh said with a headache.

   "Tie Jun, I heard from the media that this guy called the big shark has gained weight again. He used to be 125 cm when he was in the league. Now I estimate that it is no less than 128 kg. How much are you now?" Lao Zhang asked.

   "124." Lao Wang said.

   "The tonnage difference of 4 kilograms, but his body fat rate must exceed 10%, the muscle content is lower than yours, and his absolute strength will not be stronger than you." Lao Zhang said.

   "The absolute strength is about the same, even a little worse than me, but his explosiveness is several grades stronger than mine. I defended him once in the low position, and it was very difficult, and I had to use all my strength." Lao Wang said.

   What he can't say is that not only must he use all his strength, but he must also use the iron mountain, otherwise he will not be able to withstand it.

   In his opinion, O'Neal is more threatening to him than the three super centers.

   "Tie Jun, is your body fat percentage a little lower?" Lao Zhang said.

   "Don't be afraid, there is no one in this world whose body is harder than the iron stake outside." Old Wang shook his head.

"Too."

   Lao Zhang couldn't help twitching at the corner of his mouth when he thought of the iron stake that was sixty centimeters thick.

   "Besides, I also have an 8% body fat rate, which is not much lower." Lao Wang said.

   Lao Zhang nodded and didn't ask any more.

   At this time, the interview on TV began.

   "O'Neal, I was detained by K last time, do you want to come back this time?" a local reporter smiled.

O'Neal's hair was ripped off, his eyes widened, and he immediately said angrily: "Tell me the old K, tomorrow he will detain me again, oh NO, I will be detained by him again, oh, **** , Shet, I'll block him, yes, that's it."

"Ha ha…"

   Not only was the press conference full of laughter, but Pharaoh also fell down laughing at home.

  February 19th, match day.

In the morning, Jay Maloney of CAA sent a text message to Pharaoh with the name and room number of a hotel, saying that the room had been reserved, and asked Pharaoh to arrive in Salt Lake City tomorrow, go there directly, he will wait there he.

   At 7:30, the two teams announced their starters.

  Magic: Shaquille O'Neal, Tom Poltot, Anthony Powe, Nick Anderson, Scott Skiles

  Sun: Wang Tiejun, Gerald Mustav, Richard Dumars, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

  The game was broadcast nationally by ABC, and the commentators were Rango Gomez and Morton Elanton.

  Elanton said at this time: "We previewed this game a long time ago, and this is a game that everyone is looking forward to."

   Gomez laughed: "Let's talk about one thing first, Barkley was banned for beating Lambir, so this time I can only sit in the stands in a suit, come and give him a close-up."

  ABC's camera turned to Barkley behind the Suns bench.

   Barkley in a suit and leather shoes quickly reacted, glanced at the hanging screen and waved with a smile.

   "He seems to be in a good mood." Elanton laughed.

  Gomez laughed: "According to my news, Tom Chambers should have a chance to return in the playoffs, which will undoubtedly increase the depth of the Suns' bench. I think this is one of the reasons why he is in a good mood."

  Elanton said: "In addition, the sun is still in the first position in the league record, which is probably the reason why he is in a good mood."

Gomez said: "Although this game can only be a spectator, the Magic can't affect the Suns' position in the playoffs, so this game, the Suns should not care so much about winning or losing. But even if a Barkley is missing , I think with the strength of the Suns, they should be able to win this game."

"I would like to see the contest between the big shark and the Conqueror. Last time, although Old K made O'Neal very embarrassed, he was really blown up on both ends of the offense and defense. This time, after his strength has improved, I hope You won't see a one-sided situation happen," Elanton said.

"Old K can score 20+10 on David Robinson and Da Meng several times. This is indeed an improvement in strength. I think his performance should be better tonight. But we must also pay attention to restraint. , Maybe the big shark restrains the old K. After all, the old K suffers a little in terms of tonnage and does not take advantage of his strength. This is the strongest point of the old K. Once he does not take advantage of the strongest point, his performance will definitely have a big decline. ." Gomez analyzed.

   At 7:40, the two teams met in the player tunnel.

   When the big shark, who still looked very young, saw Pharaoh, he immediately glared at him and did not speak.

   Old Wang took the initiative to greet: "Big flush toilet, long time no see."

   "Haha..." Several other members of the Suns laughed.

   "It's a big sewer, not a big flush toilet." O'Neal quickly corrected.

   "Puff!"

   This time, even the Magic team couldn't help laughing.

   "Old K, you won't have a good time tonight."

  O'Neal had a stern face, raised his arms, squeezed out his biceps, and was fierce and authentic.

   "You won't have a better time, so be prepared to end the truce." Old Wang said.

  O'Neal's face twitched, and he involuntarily touched his chest, feeling that the pain after the last confrontation with Old K had returned.

   At eight o'clock, the game starts.

"Snapped!"

  O'Neal easily swiped the ball away and the Magic attacked.

   Six seconds later, the two behemoths started a confrontation in the low post on the left wing.

  O'Neill carried Wang Tiejun in his left hand. It was the first time he wanted to take the position. He wanted to try it out. If he could, of course he wanted a deep position.

  Wang Tiejun also wanted to test how strong O'Neill's absolute power is now. He didn't use Tie Shan to rely on him, and used pure power to defend against him.

   "So strong! How is that possible?"

   As soon as he made contact, O'Neal exclaimed in his heart.

   In more than a month, he has gained three kilograms in total, but he can't stand old K? It even felt untenable. Old K's strength was obviously stronger, similar to the result of the last confrontation between the two, and he was weaker.

  The ball came down at this time, he quickly took a half step out, caught the ball with his right hand, and started to play with his back.

"boom!"

  Between the dribble, he exerted his strength to hit, and the collision caused Pharaoh to back up a little.

   In the next moment, his second hits came one after another, and his powerful explosive power exploded with a huge impact with sufficient power space.

   At the same time, Wang Tiejun also used Tieshan leaning + Xiongbu. At the moment when he was knocked back, Xiongbu stepped forward, and Tieshan leaning broke out.

   "Boom!"

   The two giant beasts collided and groaned at the same time.

   "So strong!"

  Pharaoh was knocked back, his feet were light, and he was shocked.

The iron mountain kick just now was played on the basis that there was room for force. The kick force was very strong, but it was still hit like this. If it wasn't for Xiong Bu's low center of gravity, his bottom plate was very stable and had been knocked back. .

   "Not good!"

   At this moment, he knew it was bad.

"damn it!"

  O'Neal was beaten, and he took the initiative to beat him. Under the powerful explosive force, he didn't take advantage of it.

   "I increased the tonnage, did he also gain weight?" he thought to himself.

   In the next instant, O'Neal's third hit came, with a huge explosive force, like a flood, unstoppable.

   "Boom!"

Under the force of   , Wang Tiejun's upper body slammed backwards, his feet loosened, and he could no longer grasp the ground. He was knocked back, took two steps in a row, and then fell over with a bang.

"Oh!"

   The audience exclaimed. Countless Suns fans often saw Wang Tiejun knock over his opponent, but this was the first time he was seen knocked over by an opponent.

   "What's so special!"

   was knocked over at the beginning. This was also the first time he was knocked over. Wang Tiejun himself was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but O'Neal was so powerful.

"boom!"

   At this time, O'Neal turned around and stepped into the paint area. He flew up from Pharaoh's side, and the giant beast was lifted into the air. Under the heavy buckle, the Suns' basket was smashed by more than a foot and nearly collapsed.

   "Oh **** ho ho..."

After    succeeded, the excited big shark kept screaming at the Pharaoh who got up.

"It's too powerful. Under the blessing of huge tonnage and strength, O'Neal's explosive power ranks first in the league, and even the old K, who is a giant beast, can't stop it. The old K was even knocked over. This is the first time I have seen it. He was knocked over..."

   In the ABC live booth, Elanton roared excitedly.

"Yes, O'Neal, the big shark, is too strong, that is to say, the old K will be blown up on the defensive end tonight. Then we can only hope that he will not be like the last time he met O'Neal on the offensive end. , so embarrassing."

   Gomez roared excitedly.

  Elanton laughed: "The last time he was on the offensive end, he was actually not too embarrassed. On the contrary, O'Neal was playing around him in the second half."

   At this time, the Suns attacked.

   "Old K, give him back!"

  Barkley stood up and shouted loudly at the court with his fist raised.

   "Give him back!"

   "Give him back!"

   "Return him..."

   Immediately, a large number of fans shouted, and then the whole stadium roared.
