Chapter 133 Elbow Halo Postman

   Then the Jazz added a free throw and the Suns attacked.

  Barkley still pulled out, trying to pull the postman as far as possible to create a low singles opportunity for Wang Tiejun.

However, in this starting lineup of the Suns, Kevin Johnson can't make three-pointers, and he hardly shoots. Ceballos has no three-pointers. He never shoots. He only has mid-range shots and driving layups. Barkley's three-pointers are not very good. , that is, Dan Marley has a good three-pointer, and only one of the five starters can make a three-pointer, so the Suns' ability to pull off is not enough.

   This is also one of the weaknesses of the Suns lineup, the ability to create isolations for the post is not strong enough.

When Wang Tiejun first entered the league, it was all low post singles, and no one doubled him. Now he has shown a certain level of strength, and he can still have many singles opportunities in the low post. But in the playoffs in the future, how many singles opportunities he has will depend on him. It's hard to say, maybe the ball will be double-teamed as soon as it arrives.

   And now, the Jazz, who want to win, coach Jerry Sloan has arranged a double-team strategy against the low post.

After the Suns opened, the Jazz players immediately shrank their defenses. Except for Jeff Malone who didn't put Dan Marley, everyone else put their defenders two steps away and stayed out of the paint, as long as Kevin Johnson's The ball comes in, and the low post can be double-teamed right away.

  Kevin Johnson took a look at the lineup and didn't intend to pass in. He looked at Barkley on the right wing.

   "Kevin!"

  Wang Tiejun saw this, he quickly squeezed towards the basket, shouting loudly.

   At this time, as a big center, he has to stand up and exert his strength, otherwise how can he be the inner pillar of the Suns?

  The 120kg Mike Brown's strength is also quite good, but he still couldn't stand his squeeze, and he stood in the paint area, and then the ball came in.

As soon as the ball left the top of the arc, the Jazz's double-team began immediately, with Postman Malone and small forward Tyrone Corbin pounced from the left and right flanks.

  Especially Tyron Corbin on the left wing, who was only two steps away from his position, turned around and stepped into the paint area, his hand was almost stretched out to him, and further, he was directly close to him.

"Snapped!"

   He was carrying Mike Brown on his left elbow, and the moment he grabbed the ball with his right hand, he saw Tyrone Corbin in the corner of his right eye, and the strong wind came first.

   In the next moment, he leaned over to fit the ball, kept his right foot against Tyrone Corbin, stepped in with his left foot, and pushed inward to hit the ball.

   "Boom!"

   The power is not enough between eagerness, but there is still a bonus of hitting power, and Mike Brown was knocked half a step away.

The    double-team was broken, he gained a little space, and he couldn't go in anymore because Mike Brown was still in front of him.

So he immediately exerted his strength and leaned out. Only the 95kg Corbin groaned and sat down with his buttocks. Only then did he gain space to shoot. He blocked Mike Brown with his left elbow, took off sideways, and hooked the ball to the basket. basket.

   Brown, who was knocked away, tried his best to take off and block, but his hand was at least three feet away from Pharaoh's ball. How to block?

   "Hook?"

The on-site commentator shouted loudly, and in the next moment, he suddenly increased the volume and shouted: "Hit, old K broke the double team, and the restricted area sweeper forcefully blasted the two double team players of the Jazz, and hit a face hook. , he hit the ball."

   "Clap clap clap..."

   There was also warm applause and cheers for the ball.

"Cool!"

  Pharaoh himself was also excited.

   On the sidelines, Jerry Sloan was too surprised. The perimeter players were double-teaming Old K. The tonnage and strength were not enough, and they were directly knocked down. How could they be double-teamed? Can I only use the weak side postman to double-team it? But Barkley can't let it go.

   At this time, the hanging screen was replaying the picture of Wang Tiejun breaking the double-team, and he also raised his head and stared at the screen.

   "No fouls, no support foot movement, no elbow movement, no heavy shoulders to exert force, very clean by hitting."

   He was a little shocked, so he forcibly knocked two people away with a punch, how did he exert force in the narrow gap between the double teams?

   But no matter what, in his opinion, the way and ability of old K to break the double team is the only one in the league, and no other low-level player can do this.

   This way of breaking a double team is to directly kill all the defenders who come up to double team, and then make a shot. It is indeed a restricted area sweeper.

   If there is one more, it is the Magic's No. 1 draft pick Shaquille O'Neal, who is a super rookie with more talent than the old K.

   "These two rookies are really monsters who suddenly broke into the alliance!"

   He sighed in his heart, but unfortunately the Jazz couldn't get one, and the Jazz lacked a good center.

   In the next quarter, Wang Tiejun played for 7 minutes before being substituted. He played five **** in total, but hit two, which means he only hit one of the last four balls.

   It was also Tyrone Corbin who came down to double-team. One of his offenses resulted in a foul by Mike Brown. He made one of two free throws and only one of the remaining three shots.

In the whole quarter, he made 2 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 penalties, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 foul in the third quarter. In the double team, the efficiency of nearly 2 points can reach 40%, which is still possible. will be higher.

   He also didn't hit the basket in this quarter, saving energy for the distal quarter.

   Today has played 23 minutes, 7 of 12 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, 17 points and 9 rebounds, which is still okay.

   At the end of the third quarter, 68:78, the Suns were still 10 points ahead of the Jazz.

  At the beginning of the last quarter, Wang Tiejun did not play and sat on the bench.

In the half quarter, the Jazz exerted their strength. Stockton stole Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley twice in a row. Postman Malone made 3 of 5 shots and 2 of 3 free throws in the half quarter, scoring 8 points, 82:87, led The Jazz narrowed the difference to 5 points.

   "This guy is really dirty playing football!"

   He sat on the sidelines and clearly saw Kevin Johnson stumbled over Stokes when he was driving the ball and then the ball was broken.

  The Suns called a timeout and replaced him.

  The Suns attacked, facing Stockton's defense, Kevin Johnson cautiously advanced to the top of the arc, saw him stand low on the left wing, and directly hoisted the ball in.

   He was facing up, and before the ball fell into his hands, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw someone pounced.

   "The weak side must be the postman!"

   At this moment, Xiongbu suddenly took a step forward, and Shimbu jumped up, grabbed the ball in the air with one hand, and then threw the ball to the low right wing behind the postman when it fell.

   There's someone looking at him, Barkley.

"what?"

  The postman, who was quickly assisting the defense on the strong side, was surprised. When he turned around in a hurry, he saw Barkley jumping up after catching the ball.

   "Come in! Oh, hell!"

   The on-site commentator was amazed.

"Ugh!"

   There was also a great sigh at the scene.

"Snapped!"

   Barkley, who missed a close-range open ball, also slapped his hand hard.

  Under the basket, the postman Malone and Mike Brown squeezed Wang Tiejun outside, protected the rebound, and the Jazz attacked.

   A live commentator said at this time: "This time the old K's scoring was very timely, but unfortunately Barkley was a little less lucky."

   Another said: "Maybe Barkley was not ready? Old K went from receiving to scoring abruptly this time."

   "It's possible, but it's still a Barkley problem," said the former commentator.

At this time, the Jazz advanced to the frontcourt, others were running, Stockton stopped at the top of the arc for a while, and the postman Malone came up to pick and roll. He used the wall to break through with the ball, played big with a small, and then punched Barkley who was on the switch. Hit the paint.

  Wang Tiejun has returned to defend the basket, staring nervously at Stockton who came.

   At this time, Stockton did not storm the basket, but made a lateral pull. When he broke through to the left flank, he suddenly returned a pass to the postman who was running down behind him.

"not good!"

   When Wang Tiejun, who was following Stockton to adjust his defensive position to the left wing, saw it, he was shocked and quickly turned to face the basket.

   At this time, the postman caught the ball and stepped forward, and Pharaoh sealed it from the side.

"boom!"

   "Di!"

   He hit the postman on the wrist, but failed to stop the opponent's dunk and was hit with a two-plus-one.

   Fortunately, his position is not under the basket, but because he is guarding Stockton, he is one step in front of the left of the basket, which is not considered a dunk.

  84:87, Jazz trailed by three points.

   "The Jazz's most classic pick-and-roll return pass, Old K's ability to protect the basket needs to be improved."

   "Old K's defense was good in the first quarter, but he has his weaknesses and his ability to move laterally is not good. Once he is transferred, it will be difficult to go back."

  The two on-site commentators analyzed.

   At this time, the postman missed the penalty, Pharaoh grabbed a backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

   "Give it in."

   On the sidelines, Paul Westphal gestured.

  Wang Tiejun entered the low post on the left wing, and as soon as he stopped, the ball came in, and the double team of the Jazz also came.

   Immediately after he received the ball, he faced the left flank, his hands held high, and was sandwiched between Mike Brown and Tyrone Corbin.

   On the weak side, the postman was standing on the right flank. Last time, Barkley almost scored an open ball. This time, he had concerns and did not dare to double-team.

   And now Wang Tiejun is playing high and high, and it is indeed threatening his help defense. As long as he dares to come over, the ball will definitely be given to Barkley behind him.

"here."

   At this moment, Ceballos, who had been emptied, cut in from the right wing, shouted loudly, and at the same time cut into the paint area from Wang Tiejun's side.

  Pharaoh threw the ball in front of Ceballos with both hands.

"boom!"

  Cerballos stepped forward, caught the ball in the air, and smashed into the basket.

   "Beautiful! Old K and Ceballos played an alley, and Old K sent a good pass again! His current position is to play center..."

   "Yes, Old K made full use of his ability to attract double teams in the low post to create an empty cut opportunity for Ceballos. Now 84:89, we are back 5 points ahead."

   On the live commentary stand, the two commentators shouted loudly.

   Next, the postman missed a shot, and Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound.

This kind of backcourt rebound that the postman missed outside, the Jazz had no chance to grab the offensive rebound at all, the height difference was too great, and Mike Brown, who was stuck outside, even went back to the defense directly, without trying to compete with Wang Tiejun rebound.

  Sun attack.

  Wang Tiejun played this point well, he could attract double teams, and he had the ability to support the ball, so the head coach instructed him to continue to play this point, and the ball was passed to him again.

   This time, instead of facing Barkley on the left wing after receiving the ball, his right hand grabbing the ball suddenly slammed into the 3-point line on the right wing.

   Tyrone Corbin, who had just jumped to his side, was taken aback and turned around quickly.

   However, he was fooled, this is a fake passing action, but Wang Tiejun's control of the ball is too strong, so it is very realistic.

   When he turned around, Wang Tiejun leaned over to dribble the ball and hit Mike Brown inside with a ferocious hit.

   When he turned around, he realized that he had been fooled, and quickly turned around.

   It was just his continuous turns, his feet didn't keep up, his center of gravity was lost, and he fell to the floor with a thud.

   "Boom!"

   At this time, Wang Tiejun's second slap hit Mike Brown again, who staggered back and lost his center of gravity.

   The next moment, Wang Tiejun turned around and stepped into the paint area. With more room to exert his strength, Xiongbu stepped forward, and a frontal Tieshan came fiercely.

   "Boom!"

"Uh!"

   Mike Brown groaned, and instantly leaned back, his 120kg body was directly knocked over.

  Wang Tiejun couldn't help but stumble after knocking over a person. At this time, the postman had already come back to defend him, and he raised his hands up, blocking the front like a mountain.

   But by this time he had already pulled the ball up, then took off and hooked the ball head-on to the hoop one step away.

  The postman took off the cover, and it was only meant to be, and it had no actual defensive effect.

   "Sigh!"

   made a two-pointer at the basket.

   "Beautiful! Old K hit a frontal hook at the basket." A live commentator shouted excitedly.

"From catching the ball to making a fake pass, swinging a double-team, and knocking over another with his strongest hit, Old K is worthy of the nickname of the penalty area sweeper, and he won't shoot until he kills all the defenders around him. ' yelled another commentator.

   "Carl, switch."

  Jerry Sloan couldn't bear it anymore. Now the Suns are mainly focusing on Wang Tiejun's low-post offense, and Barkley is only doing restraint there, wasting the Postman's defense in vain.

   But he can only gamble, the postman can only defend one, who makes the Taifang team too strong inside?

   However, he stopped the double-team strategy, because he needed to see the effect of the postman alone against the old K.

   He also knew that even the top three super centers would have difficulty defending the rookie Old K, but the Postman was different from others. His defense, even the three super centers, would be a headache.

  84:91, the Suns lead, the Jazz attack.

  Jeff Malone hit a mid-range shot from the pick-and-roll, and the Suns attacked.

"what?"

   Seeing the postman running to his side, Pharaoh was a little surprised. Does the Sir value him so much?

   He still remembered that this guy owed him an elbow, and now he has a chance to get it back.

  The left wing is low, he is strong and needs a deep position.

   But the postman was dead on, and from time to time he elbowed him in the back so that he couldn't squeeze in.

   This is also a test. With a larger tonnage, in the case of absolute strength + tonnage, he is on the same level as the postman, and no one can squeeze anyone.

   "The power is really strong!"

   He exclaimed and raised his right hand for the ball.

  Kevin Johnson took a look at Barkley. The latter was not very excited today. He did not actively ask for the ball, nor was his movement very active. He gave the ball to Wang Tiejun again.

When the    ball came over, Wang Tiejun found that the double team had not come, and couldn't help feeling relieved.

   "Boom!"

   As soon as he received the ball, he hit a heavy elbow in the lower back, which made his legs go soft, but luckily he didn't have the urge to urinate.

   "What's so special!"

   scolded angrily, handed the ball to his left hand with his right hand, his head suddenly looked back, and his arms swung back suddenly.

   "Boom!"

   swiped his right elbow hard against the postman's face.

"Uh!"

  The postman let out a pained cry, and only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and then lost all consciousness. He was thrown back by his elbow, and his whole body was like a wooden stake, felled down by a giant axe in situ.

   "Di!"

   Amid the exclamations of the fans, the referee's whistle blew.

   "click, click..."

   The media booth behind the bottom line responded the fastest, and the camera flickered frantically.

   "It's incredible!"

   "The postman was stunned by an elbow!"

   "God, there's big news today, fortunately I'm here!"

   They were shouting excitedly as they pressed the shutter.

   "Oh my god, yes, it was a normal turn, no fouls."

   "Oh **** ho ho, does anyone finally dare to elbow the postman? Haha, well, I apologize, I shouldn't have this attitude."

   On the live commentary table, the two commentators shouted excitedly.

   "Carl?"

In the    exclamation, Stockton and the other four rushed up.

  Buckley and others are not in a hurry, because the postman is dizzy, and the Jazz have no one to fight. What's the hurry?

   They were just too surprised. Old K actually started first. They were too surprised. No one had ever dared to do this to the postman.

However, they were not surprised at Old K's ability to stun the postman with one elbow. At Old K's house that day, they had seen Old K beat such thick iron stakes with his elbows. Both of Old K's elbows had a Layers of calluses, that is really practiced elbow, it is normal to be hit and fainted, it is not normal if you don't directly open the scoop.

   "Sir, did I commit a foul?"

   Hearing the whistle, Pharaoh threw the ball to the referee and glanced at the fainted postman on the floor, very surprised.

   The referee took the ball and threw it to the bottom referee, then waved to the Jazz's bench and asked the team doctor to come on the court to carry him.

   At this moment, when I heard Lao Wang's words, I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my eyes. I secretly thought that you are a rookie, you are not a good bird, you are acting stupid, and you don't know if you have committed a foul or not?

   He immediately gestured towards Pharaoh as a first-degree criminal, making two free throws and one throw.

   "Brother, he also elbowed me just now, why didn't I commit a foul, I blew it when I accidentally touched him?" Pharaoh asked Barkley.

   "Because he's a superstar like David Robinson, and you're just a rookie." Barkley laughed.

   "Do you have such treatment too?" Pharaoh asked curiously.

  Buckley smiled awkwardly: "I don't like elbow people, you know that."

He said so, but in his heart, he couldn't help roaring: "Am I the same as him? He is the brother-in-law of the referee committee. With one elbow, the smiling assassin had more than 40 stitches in his head, and he even committed a common foul. nothing."

   Actually, this fat man is a ruthless man. He once pierced several ribs of Rodman with one elbow when he was grabbing a rebound.
