Chapter 147 Unstoppable basket behemoth

   In the second quarter, Robinson played.

On the Suns side, Barkley temporarily sat on the bench, and Wang Tiejun and Tom Chambers partnered on the inside.

  Without Barkley's back-up defense, Tom Chambers's strength has obviously dropped by a notch compared to before the injury. The speed of help defense is slow, and the Suns' low-post defense is very difficult.

  Robinson's efficiency increased. In the half quarter, the point difference was reduced to 3 points. Barkley played, and the Suns controlled the situation.

   After halftime, 46:51, the Suns lead by 5 points.

   Robinson made 4 of 7 shots in the second quarter. In 19 minutes at the half, he made 6 of 13 shots, plus 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 1 foul.

The opponent Wang Tiejun also made 4 of 7 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block, 1 turnover and 1 foul in 19 minutes in the half.

He gave Robinson a cap, but he also took the opponent's cap, missed another shot, missed one of the two near-basket hooks, and only scored two shots at the rim. The shooting feeling in the second quarter was not very good. Sample.

   During the halftime break, in the ESPN live booth, Winston Rollins analyzed: "In terms of the lineup of the two teams, the Suns are better.

   Although Robinson can hang Lao K on the offensive end, his scoring ability should not be underestimated, and he can't guard Lao K.

  The distance between Antoine Kyle and Barkley is greater than the gap between Old K and Robinson. In terms of the combined strength of the two teams, the Suns should be stronger. "

   Carter Oldman smiled and said: "Winston, you compare it, if Robinson and Barkley are equal, can Antoine Kyle and old K be equal?"

Rollin thought about it and said: "Antoine Kyle, the big dog, also averaged 20+5 in the 90/91 season, and was called the poor man's version of Barkley, but this season's strength has declined, and the first series He averaged 22 minutes per game in the game and scored 10+5 data, this efficiency is still good, if you compare it with the old K, well, I think it can be offset."

   Carter Oldman said with a smile: "In other words, the two teams are actually similar in strength inside, so let's compare the outside.

  3, Sean Elliott can crush Ceballos, no need to compare.

   At No. 2, Dan Marley's strength is at most similar to that of Dale Ellis. Ellis is a fierce man who has scored 20+ points for four consecutive seasons. Although he is 33 years old now, his strength still exists.

  Only Kevin Johnson is better than Jr. Johnson on the outside of the Suns, but it should not offset the gap at the 3rd position. "

   Luo Lin was a little surprised and said: "According to your calculation, the Suns are weaker?"

  Oldman shrugged his shoulders and said, "On paper strength is like this, whoever plays better and who handles the details well will have a chance to win."

  Rollin thought for a while and said, "Antoine Kyle is 32 years old, and his injury is an important factor that cannot be ignored.

   He has been playing as a substitute in his career, averaging 20 minutes per game, rarely playing the main force, but now playing the main force, whether he can have a good performance, this is not good. "

   "Two Barkleys, let them duel." Oldman laughed.

  Rolin said again: "There is one difference between the two teams. The Spurs are stronger on the bench."

Oldman nodded and said: "Although Tom Chambers is back, his form is not as good as before, and the Suns gave up Richard Dumars again. These two are bench bandits and can score very well. Without their Contribution, the burden on the main team of the Suns will be much larger.”

  Rollin nodded and said: "Playing the Lakers in the first round, the Lakers' lineup is too weak, and the Suns' bench lineup is not deep enough. The weakness has not been exposed, but facing the Spurs, there may be problems.

   I judge how the Suns lost this series, one is that the thickness of the bench lineup is not enough, and the other is that there is a problem with the main 3 position. "

   At the beginning of the third quarter, Barkley started the main attack and increased his shots. In the first quarter, he made 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points on Antoine Kyle.

  Barkley broke out, not only destroying the city on the offensive end, but also actively helping defend David Robinson on the defensive end, showing all-round performance.

   At the end of the third quarter, at 68:78, the Suns led by 10 points.

   At the end of the last quarter, the Spurs counterattacked with all their strength, accelerated the rhythm of offense and defense, and played a fast break.

  Sean Elliott stood up, took over the offensive flag, and blew up Ceballos. He made 2 of 3 shots in the half, 1 of 1 three-pointer, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 8 points.

   And the Suns made consecutive mistakes in the fast-paced offense and defense, and fell into a scoring drought.

  Wang Tiejun couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was exhausted between the frontcourt and the backcourt, causing the team to frequently fall into a situation of playing more with less.

   After half a quarter, at 83:86, the Suns only led by 3 points and called a timeout.

   "What's the matter, I almost... almost ran out of breath. This is a track and field game... and... or basketball? I didn't touch the ball for half a quarter, so I just... grabbed a rebound."

   Panting back to the bench, Wang Tiejun scolded panting.

   "They can't run anymore. They shouldn't fight like this again in the second half." Barkley gasped.

   "Old K, do you still have physical fitness?" asked the head coach Westphal.

   "It's alright, I, I'm okay, just a little breath, just take a breath." He said.

   Westphal nodded. In the third quarter, Old K didn't attack much. He just ran back and forth a little more hastily. The physical consumption was not very big. He said:

   "Next, we have to slow down the pace and fight a wave of positional warfare. It's up to you to fight, try to get in, I want your efficiency."

   "Okay, let's see." Old Wang patted his chest and agreed.

   At this time, in the ESPN live broadcast booth, Winston Rollins laughed: "The Spurs played a successful tactic, taking advantage of the weakness of old K's slow speed to improve the offensive and defensive rhythm."

   "The fast break tactics can't last, and it's time for the two teams to go shopping for HKA." Oldman laughed.

  Rollin said: "The Suns also made two consecutive mistakes on the outside just now, and the Spurs' outside pressing defense worked well."

After the    timeout, the game started and the Suns attacked.

   The Spurs defended tight with no chance with a quick transfer of the ball, propelled into the frontcourt by Dan Marley, and then returned to Kevin Johnson.

  Wang Tiejun asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing, and his left foot was just outside the left line of the paint area.

David Robinson didn't adopt a winding defense, but his physical fitness was not very good. In the half-quarter fast break just now, he was the main force. He was running like a guard. In addition, he had a strong confrontation with Wang Tiejun. Just insist, the physical condition should not be as good as Wang Tiejun.

"Snapped!"

   With the ball in his hand, Wang Tiejun was about to attack when he suddenly found that the Spurs were trapping him, and Sean Elliott pounced on him from the right flank.

   "Oops! Watch out for double-teaming!"

   On the live commentary table, the commentator's exclamation sounded.

  Today, Robinson was single-handedly defending the old K, focusing on double-teaming Barkley. No one in the Suns thought that in the last half of the quarter, the Spurs chose to double-team the old K, and there was no preparation at all.

   But Wang Tiejun's reaction was still quick, and he smashed the ball towards Sean Elliott with his right hand.

   "Cerballos?"

  Sean Elliott quickly turned back to defend.

  Cerballos caught the ball and saw Wang Tiejun beckoning to him again and again, pushed with both hands, and passed the ball back.

"what?"

  Sean Elliott turned around quickly and rushed towards the low post.

  Wang Tiejun caught the ball and immediately started to beat Robinson with his back.

   He didn't slip, but hit from above, using his left foot as a support, he stepped in with his right foot to make a breakthrough.

   But this time, Robinson didn't retreat, and he didn't have a hard top. He just wrapped his arms around his opponent's body. If you advance, I will retreat. If you retreat, I will advance, entangling you.

   He knew very well that Old K didn't dribble the ball, it was a false breakthrough.

   Everyone knows that Old K's ball-handling ability is average, and he rarely dribbles to break through. As long as he blocks his first step, he can block his breakthrough.

   At this time, Sean Elliott rushed to his side and double-teamed his upper body.

   But at this time, Wang Tiejun saw that Ceballos was cutting inwards, cutting inwards from behind him along the baseline, and he immediately smashed the ball backwards and hit the floor.

"boom!"

  When the ball bounced, it was caught by Ceballos who was cutting inside, and then one step into the paint area, it was a flying dunk that smashed the ball into the basket.

  83:88, Spurs attack.

   played a fast break for half a quarter. In the last few minutes of the game, the Spurs were really tired, and this time the advance was very slow.

   Let’s play Sean Elliott. His height and tonnage are 203 cm and 93 kg, while Ceballos is only 198 cm and 86 kg. Whether it is height or tonnage, he can crush his opponent.

   In terms of technology and strength, he is this year's All-Star substitute, and he is also a bit stronger than his opponents.

   "Sigh!"

   He again hit a two-pointer on his opponent's head, his third of the quarter and tenth.

  85:88, Sun attack.

   Still play according to the arranged offensive tactics, and give the ball to Wang Tiejun.

   But this time, Kevin Johnson passed the first ball to Ceballos, using this transition to prevent Sean Elliott from double-teaming the low post in advance, and then Ceballos passed the ball down.

   As soon as Wang Tiejun got the ball, it was directly hit by Tieshan who was still standing still, knocking Robinson loose from the entanglement, and then immediately turned around and slipped.

  Robinson immediately took a lateral step towards the bottom line to stop his opponent from slipping.

   But at this moment, Wang Tiejun chose to fight rather than move.

   Bear step, reliable, movable, and switchable at any time guarantees his choice.

   At the same time, because Robinson is on the move, even if there is a strong collision, he will not commit a foul, which is a normal confrontation.

"boom!"

   During the dribble with his left hand, he did not turn around completely, but stepped in with his right foot, and his right shoulder and back directly leaned against Robinson who was moving.

   "Boom!"

   With a groan, Robinson fell down, his back hit the floor, and he slipped again and again, and slid directly to the basket.

   This time, because there is enough room to exert force, and with the cooperation and blessing of Xiongbu, the power of relying on hitting is very huge.

   "Sigh!"

   In order to save valuable physical energy, Wang Tiejun did not dunk, but scored two points with a layup.

"yeah!"

   After knocking over the super center, the audience cheered.

"Beautiful, the Admiral looks frail under old K. But is he the softie old K said? No, he's not, he's a super center. Old K, hit him! Kill him! Go prove he's soft. Egg…"

   The roar of the on-site commentator immediately sounded.

   "Cough cough..."

  Robinson lay on the floor for a few seconds, and was pulled up by the big dog Antoine Cale. He was still coughing, and was knocked out of breath just now.

In fact, the system-integrated Tieshan-Kai, in order not to foul, the force-generating action has been changed, the body posture of relying on hitting is different from the real Tie-Shan-Kai, the lethality has been weakened a lot, or the hard big bone scapula is used. To hit the opponent's tender and crisp ribs, as long as you exert enough force, the bones are very likely to be broken. How can you just cough a few times?

  Spurs attack, Dale Ellis has the ball on the right wing.

   He played against Dan Marley, without the physical advantage of the No. 3 position. In addition, the peak period has passed, and his current strength is similar to that of Dan Marley. He can average about 16 points per game in the regular season.

  Dan Marley was forced to make a mistake by the opponent in the first half. Now that the opponent has the ball, he immediately goes up to press.

  He can average 1.7 steals per game, and his defense is very strong.

  Dalle Ellis forced a fallback jumper and missed. The rebound was protected by Wang Tiejun in the backcourt, and the Suns attacked.

   The left wing is low, and Wang Tiejun and Robinson are entangled again.

   As last time, the ball transitioned from Ceballos, keeping Sean Elliott outside, and then passing the ball.

   As soon as he got the ball, he slipped to the bottom without delay for half a second.

   This time, Robinson learned the lesson from earlier, instead of moving laterally to the bottom line, he retreated.

  Wang Tiejun waded into the paint area one step at a time, got up immediately when he saw this, and hit a frontal hook.

   His bear stride is really not fast, but he has many advantages, one of which is that his feet are not running, but sprinting against the floor.

In this way, the rhythm of the force under his feet is faster, coupled with the characteristics of high-frequency oscillation, it can make him get up faster, and his own movement speed is not fast, so he will not move and stop suddenly. Affecting his balance, this can maximize the stability of his shots.

   A person with high speed, when making an emergency stop jumper, is because the balance of the body is affected when the emergency stop occurs, so it will also affect the stability of the shot, resulting in a low hit rate, but he does not have this problem.

"brush!"

  Robinson was in retreat and could only defend with his eyes. When he completely got rid of the defense, the ball went down to the basket.

   "Mr. Admiral, your defensive eyes are really good." Old Wang spat out trash talk.

   "Trash boy, you wait for me." Robinson couldn't care less about modesty, and immediately retorted with trash talk.

   came to the low post on the left wing, and he immediately wanted the ball.

   "Go away!"

  Wang Tiejun leaned forward and hit his opponent, which made his opponent untenable and could only retreat outwards, but he immediately followed and continued to push his opponent outward.

   "Oh, the old K drove Robinson out of the paint, and now the ball is given to Sean Elliott on the left-wing three-point line, and Robinson simply ran out to do the pick-and-roll..."

   In the ESPN live broadcast booth, Rollin exclaimed quickly.

   Even though Robinson ran to the three-point line, Wang Tiejun did not relax and kept following him out.

   The defensive task given to him by the head coach is to kill the opponent and hand over the penalty area to Barkley. At the critical moment, he must try his best to prevent the superstar Robinson.

  Sean Elliott broke through the wall, and when he reached the edge of the paint, Barkley made up in front of him.

   He quickly crossed to Antoine Kyle, who was vacated in the low post on the right wing. Dan Marley threw down to make up the defense. The big dog Kyle missed a near-basket jumper, and the rebound was won by Barkley.

  The Suns attacked, Wang Tiejun raised his hand to ask for the ball in the low post, then Kevin Johnson made a pull gesture.

   "Boom!"

   Suddenly came a close-fitting Tieshan hit, he bumped Robinson's center of gravity a little, and suddenly took the opportunity to bypass the opponent and grabbed the paint area.

  Robinson turned around and caught up to grab his jersey and was knocked off by him.

   Kyle, the big dog in the low post on the right wing, rushed over in a hurry and returned to the basket.

   At this time, the ball also came in. He quickly got up, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and smashed it towards the former who was jumping and blocking.

   "Boom!"

   Amid the heavy impact, Antoine Cale was only 206 cm tall and only 102 kg in tonnage. The difference was huge. It was two laps smaller.

"boom!"

   At the same time, a double-handed dunk ignited the audience.

   "Oh hoo hoo, the unstoppable beast is attacking the basket, the Spurs' little moves can't stop the old K, let's break out and defeat them!"

   "Just do this, the beasts should stay in the basket, old K, crush them!"

   On the live commentary stand, the roars of the two excited commentators continued.

  The game was suspended because Antoine Cale couldn't get up. Compared to Wang Tiejun, he was too thin and weak. When he hit the floor abruptly, the back of his head hit the floor and smashed his head. He must not be able to fight.

"that's terrible!"

  Spurs head coach John Lucas had a headache and turned to look at the bench. Only two backup forwards could go up, one is Terry Cummings and the other is JR Reed.

   But chose the former because the latter has never played in the playoffs and is only a role player, while the former has a lot of postseason experience and is a former All-Star.
