Chapter 135 Fighting the Bull Again

Returning home with a large bag of guns, Pharaoh decided to build a gun room in the new villa. He bought six assault rifles, three shotguns, and two sniper rifles, with a thousand rounds of ammunition, enough for a small battle. The place is too small.

   The only regret is that I heard that there is an anti-equipment sniper rifle, but it is not allowed to be held privately. It is said that the destructive power of that thing is amazing.

   "Charles, I bought a gun, when are we going out in a group?" He called Barkley on the phone.

   "Hmm, what gun did you buy?"

  Buckley was making coffee for his wife and said with the phone tucked between his shoulders.

He and Maureen were married in 1989, and it was love at first sight. In this era, few black people marry white people in the United States, so their marriage has actually been criticized and rejected a lot in society, even discrimination, but the two The relationship between people is very good, and he never **** outside after getting married.

   Old Wang shouted: "All, I bought six assault rifles, and..."

"boom!"

  Buckley was stunned, and his phone smashed to the ground.

  Fortunately, the current mobile phone is highly durable, and it is more sturdy if it is not dropped. Pick it up and continue to use it.

   "Damn, old K, what are you buying so many guns for, do you want to fight?" He laughed and scolded.

   "I like it." Pharaoh laughed.

   "You are such a stingy person, but you are generous in buying guns." Buckley complained.

   "Don't be afraid, I just received an endorsement from a men's clothing brand. Three million in three years is enough for me to buy a house and a gun." Pharaoh said proudly.

   "Shet!"

   After hanging up, Buckley threw the phone away.

   This is to show off to him. You can't get used to this kind of person, or else you will come to show off in front of him next time you get an endorsement, and you can't give him a good face.

He handed the coffee to his wife Mo Lin, sat next to him, and said angrily: "Mo Lin, you said that my figure is very interesting, but why are there no men's clothing brands looking for me to endorse? They would rather go to the old K's. Muscular guys, don't they just like that kind of guy?"

   Maureen stroked his forehead speechlessly, God, my dear, I said that you are very excited about your figure, do you really believe it, are you stupid?

   "Old K's signing with CAA is really a good move, at least it's not bad for now. He got two endorsements and sponsorships just after signing the contract."

  Barkley said enviously: "Maureen, do you think I should sign CAA for my next contract?"

   Maureen said with a smile: "It can be considered, I did hear in the circle that CAA intends to develop in the sports world. However, there is no big move at present. I think that including signing the old K, it is just a test of the water for CAA."

  Buckley said: "Listen to old K, CAA will also promote to Asia, this guy is lucky."

Maureen said: "As the first Asian to enter the NBA, Lao K has an advantage in this regard, but no one knows how much resources CAA can devote and how effective it can be. Unless the NBA is in China The market opens."

  Barkley nodded. Old K has just entered the league and he has no results. It is really impossible for CAA to spend a lot of money on him.

  …

   "Bang bang bang..."

   In the evening, Wang Tiejun was following Zhang Heli in the training of the pace of the basket and the offensive skills of the basket.

  Zhang Lili is known as the magician at the basket in Asia. He has solid basic skills, and he is full of offensive firepower at the basket. With a height of less than two meters, he can play a world in the penalty area like Barkley. He has real ability.

   As long as Lao Wang is at home now, he will train with Lao Zhang for some time every night, so as not to waste the wages he paid.

   After the training, the labor cannot be wasted. Zhang Heli gave him a full-body massage using medicated oil.

Massage is also very tiring, especially a muscular man like Lao Wang, who is very laborious, and Lao Zhang is out of breath: "The quality of resistance to injury is one of innate physique, and the other is acquired training. Strength training is very important. , With high-quality muscle groups, injuries can be avoided to the greatest extent possible.”

   Lao Wang was pressed into a dizzy sleep. He suddenly woke up when he heard what Lao Zhang said. He also underwent a stage of weight-gaining strength training, and his muscles increased by three or four kilograms. Has the ability to resist injuries improved?

   He didn't pay attention, so he quickly turned on the system.

   "Level 86?"

  I thought about it for a while, and it seemed that I had improved a bit. I used to be level 85, so I don’t remember much.

   He deliberately looked at the other data, and found that his bounce seemed to have increased by one level. Now it is level 66, and nothing else has changed.

   The next day, the Suns embarked on a road trip.

Wang Tiejun's performance in the three away games was average. There were some physical problems. The speed of physical recovery slowed down. It was easy to feel tired. The offense is reduced, and the touch of the near-basket hook is not good.

In three games, he averaged 27 minutes per game, made 4 of 9 shots, and hit less than 50% of the shots. He averaged only three shots per game at the basket. The hit rate in the early 30s was about the same as David Robinson's near-basket hit rate.

   The attack on the basket is insufficient, and his lethality is also reduced. He averaged only 6 free throws per game, and averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds per game.

   Returned to the home court and played two games. His performance is still the same, and his state is still a little sluggish.

   Media evaluation, this is hitting the rookie wall.

   This state lasted until the end of March, which caused his average data to drop significantly. The average time per game was lowered to 31 minutes, 14 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.2 steals, 1.5 blocks, 2.8 turnovers and 3.8 fouls.

   Of all the stats, only assists got better.

   His rookie ranking dropped to No. 7. If it weren't for the rebounding data, the ranking would be even lower. The No. 8 Walter Williams had 17 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists.

   However, the Suns' record is still strong. As of the end of March, they were 56 wins and 12 losses in 68 regular season games, ranking first in the league.

  Barkley relied on the Suns' record and still ranked first in the MVP rankings in March, pressing down on Da Meng and Jordan and others.

  On April 1st, there was no competition, and Wang Tiejun just moved.

  Lance Hawksman bought him a villa in a single-family community for $350,000, far from luxurious, but much better than the house he lived in for free.

   did some remodeling and decoration, and added a training room in the backyard, which cost nearly 100,000.

   Then bought a luxury Mercedes-Benz SUV and spent another hundred thousand dollars.

   The personal stylist he hired prepared him a lot of clothes and shoes, men's perfume, and spent more than 100,000 dollars.

   After a lot of tossing, plus the legal fee of $600,000, the $1.5 million endorsement fee paid by the heavyweight brand to him has almost been spent, and this has not yet been taxed.

   At noon that day, he held a moving party at his new home, and invited his teammates and coaching staff to come and gather.

   Mr. Zhang was the most active in hosting a party and prepared a lot of dishes.

   He is now familiar with the coaching staff and trainers of the Suns. He often exchanges experiences with them and feels that he has improved a lot. He is very keen to communicate with other trainers.

   "Old K, there are 14 regular season games in the last month. This is your last chance to adjust. I will increase your playing time to 30 minutes and increase your shots to 10 to 12 times. You must be mentally prepared."

   While eating, head coach Westphal said.

   After this period of physical training, he believes that Wang Tiejun's physical fitness limit has been broken, that is, the rookie wall has passed, and some training and competition data also show this.

   "I see, coach, now I feel that my physical recovery speed seems to be faster, and I am not so easily tired. When I wake up in the morning, I have more energy." Wang Tiejun nodded.

   Chief trainer Aaron Nelson said at this time: "Further adjustments are still needed in the last month. My suggestion is to limit the playing time to 30 minutes, which can allow Old K to make some physical reserves in the final time."

   "Then do it." Westphal nodded and smiled.

   "Level 92."

   Lao Wang took a look at the system at this time. The physical training during this period has increased his physical fitness by two levels, and he is only three levels away from his potential level.

   "System, this rate of improvement seems to be faster than the training of the system, why?" he asked in his heart.

"The training content of the system is more scientific and reasonable. If the host exchanges physical training function cards, although the progress is slightly slower, the consumption of the body is smaller, which can avoid injuries to a greater extent and delay the aging speed of the body." The system road.

   "I'll enter, you don't tell me sooner, or I'll exchange it." Old Wang regretted it.

   "Exchange physical training cards."

   "Exchanged."

  Open the training card, the training time is two months, and the completion can be upgraded by two levels.

   In other words, after completing the content of this training card, his physical fitness can be raised to level 94, and level 95 is his physical fitness limit.

   He also just completed the two-month low-post training card training today, and his low-post pace level has increased by 3 levels, reaching level 88.

   In addition, the rebounding training has been carried out for 40 days, and it has also improved by two levels. Now it is 83.

  The two-month flexibility and coordination training ended at the end of this month, and now they have been upgraded by one level, flexibility is 63, and coordination is 68.

   The improvement is not very big, mainly depends on the extra training in the offseason with sufficient time.

   He used 200 points just now, and he still has 400 points left.

   This month, he only got a point reward with a total score of 500 points, and he was awarded 200 points.

   He got the contract at the end of December. He played a total of 45 games with the Suns, and now he has a total of 630 points and 346 rebounds. The system only rewards data that reaches an integer of 500 or more.

  …

   In April 1993, the regular season came to an end.

   On April 10th, the Suns came to the East to challenge the Bulls away.

   This is the last regular season game of the two teams this season. Although the outcome of the game has nothing to do with their respective rankings, everyone wants to win this game.

  Especially Jordan, who told the media before the game that he was going to shoot 50+ on Wang Tiejun again today.

The attention of this game is very high, because Jordan, the Bulls are the hottest team in the league, and the Suns are the team with the first record in the league, but this is not the reason why this game has the most attention. Because last time Jordan was slapped in public by Wang Tiejun.

  The game was broadcast nationally by ABC, with commentators Bill Walton and John Hanks.

John Hanks said: "Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley are both enemies and very good friends, but now that the Bulls and the Suns have completely become enemies because of a slap in the face, Jordan will not let the Suns go. .

The Suns are both a potential finals opponent and a team that humiliates him. This time he is the same as the last game against the Suns. There will definitely be an explosion. No one can provoke Michael without punishment. He is the basketball player. Black Jesus. "

Bill Walton said with a smile: "Since the postman was stunned, I believe that no one dares to humiliate and provoke old K. Tonight, I believe that old K will madly sweep the bull's restricted area. He is the conqueror Caesar. I think the bull has no inside line. People can contend."

   "Bill, Cartwright and Grant's interior combination, even the three super centers, have the ability to deal with it."

  John Hanks reminded, apparently he had a different opinion.

Bill Walton smiled and shook his head, as the league's superstar center, he has more say, saying: "Old K's current strength is obviously not as good as the three super centers, especially on the defensive end, but his strongest It is the offensive end, and its low-level strong playing ability is enough to sweep the penalty area of ​​the entire league.

  His low-post style is completely different from the three super centers. Strength and tonnage are his sharp weapons. At the same time, his sudden force depends on his playing skills, making him one of the best in the league for a while.

   Such low-position behemoths, Grant and Cartwright are powerless to contend, even if they can deal with the three super centers, but I think they will be completely swept away by the old K tonight. "

   "Bill, I think you are suspected of touting the old K. The old K has been in the doldrums for a month, and he has not been able to climb out of the pit of the rookie wall. Don't blow your head."

  John Hanks grinned.

  Bill Wharton laughed, nodded and smiled: "This is true, including defense, the overall strength of Old K is still below the first-class, but I boasted his low position, it should not be slapped in the face."

  …

   "Buzz..."

   Outside the player tunnel, the loud noise was deafening, making everyone's ears deaf.

   For the first time, he came to the most terrifying home court in the 1990s, the United Center Arena, which belonged to the Bulls. Facing its terrifying home court momentum, Wang Tiejun couldn't help but feel terrified.

   "Boy, this is my territory, I'll crush you here!"

  Jordan's roar sounded in his ears, and when he looked outside, he turned around and saw a black face with extreme paranoia and determination, that kind of mighty monarch's aura that shook his heart.

   "Stay away from me, your saliva splashed on my face, it stinks." He shoved Jordan away.

  Jordan stumbled and almost fell. He was so angry that he cursed: "Damn boy, you dare to do anything to me here?"

   At this time, more than a dozen security guards in the player tunnel were staring at Wang Tiejun, their sharp and fierce eyes revealed their hostility to him, without any concealment.

"Ah!"

   sneered, and he scolded: "Old guy, you are only capable of this, how about you punch me like you did in the last match, and I am sent off? That way you can win without a fight."

"asshole!"

  Jordan cursed.

This **** rookie must have no good intentions. He is tempting himself to be rough, and then he will hit himself, slap himself, and dizzy himself with an elbow, so he must not be fooled, he must not be rough, he can only use points to teach him a lesson on the field he.

   At this time, the visiting team played, and Wang Tiejun ran out with Barkley.

   "Go away!"

   But when he was about to go out, he suddenly pushed Jordan again. Jordan slammed into the wall, and he yelled in anger: "Damn rookie, you raided me?"

   "Don't provoke me so much, or I'll make you the same as the postman." The irritable Wang Tiejun suddenly turned his head and roared.

   He's fed up with these big-name stars, who are dragged like 2,580,000 to 80,000, high above him, and there is a star whistle in front of him. In fact, all of them are full of racism, which is not a good idea.

  Jordan choked, postman?

   That guy is as strong as an ox, and he recovered from his injury after only a week of rest. What if he got a elbow from Old K?

   "Damn, be careful!"

   He originally planned to have a few more surprises tonight, it's better to deduct the old K, but now he decided to try not to take risks.

   Since the old K stunned the postman with one elbow, whoever encounters the Suns in this league, if they want to humiliate this rookie, must consider the rookie's reaction, including him.

   Of course, he will definitely do it if there is a chance. Does the old K still dare to chase after him after deducting the old king?

   At eight o'clock, the game officially started.

  Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Ceballos, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

   Bulls: Bill Cartwright, Grant, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

  Wang Tiejun jumped the ball, the sun attacked.

   Entered the low post on the left wing. Facing veteran Carter White, he wanted to be in a deep position. He squeezed directly to the position only one step away from the basket, and then backed the basket to ask for the ball.

  The Suns had a limited stretch, but the effect was average, and the Bulls immediately shrank their defensive formation.

  The ball just came out from the top of the arc, but the Bulls' double-team started immediately, and Cobra Grant directly lost Barkley and implemented a weak-side help defense.

   And Jordan immediately covered Barkley, and the others also immediately covered the defense, trying to make up for the gap created by double-teaming.

   As soon as Pharaoh caught the ball, Grant came out from behind and slapped him hard, and the ball dropped.

   At this time, Pippen rushed over and grabbed the ball, and the Bulls immediately turned from defense to attack.

   "What's so special!"

   Old Wang hurriedly chased after him.

   "We didn't double-team Old K last time, but this time we did. This must be the Bulls preparing for the finals." On the sidelines, assistant coach Lewis said.

   "Tonight will be difficult, if we can finally make it to the finals, this is a preview of the finals."

Head coach Westphal nodded thoughtfully, but said: "But I believe in the ability of old K to break the double team, his relying on playing, no one in the Bulls can hold it unless he uses a foul. tactics."

   But he was still very nervous, because like Old K, he was also a rookie.

   As soon as he coached, he achieved the first record in the league, and then the team's goal of the championship put him under great pressure.
