Chapter 148 Medicated Bath Recipe

On the ESPN live broadcast, Rollin immediately said: "Terry Cummings, the 82-year veteran, the second overall pick of the year, the Rookie of the Year in the 1982/83 season, the All-Star backup twice, and the best second player once. Array, 32 years old this year."

Oldman continued: "He was the main striker for the Spurs last season, averaging 17.5 points and 9 rebounds per game, but a serious injury at the beginning of the season was directly reimbursed for the season. He only played 8 games in the regular season, and now he is back in the playoffs. , the state is not good.”

   "He is the same as Tom Chambers of the Suns. Injuries are terrible for an inside player like them!" Rollin said.

Speaking of this, he reminded: "Old K's play is too confrontational, and for his opponents, it is very lethal. Antoine Cale was injured just now, but for himself, it is also It should be noted that this style of play can be very troublesome once injured.”

  Oldman nodded and said, "He loves dunks, which puts a lot of pressure on his knees, and the knee is the number one injury to a center, so you really need to pay attention."

  Rollin also added: "His back-playing confrontation is fierce, and back injuries should also be paid attention to. For a low-post player who is good at low-post back-playing, it is no less than a knee injury killer."

   Oldman said: "Speaking of which, the old K's defeat of Antoine Kyle this time may become a turning point, and the strength of the Spurs should be affected."

   "That's for sure." Rollin nodded.

   At this point the game starts and the Spurs attack.

   "Cedric?"

   On the sidelines, the head coach Westphal shouted and then made a gesture.

"Um."

   Cedric Ceballos nodded when he saw it.

When    came to the frontcourt, Robinson dropped out on the left wing to catch the ball and was about to use his signature technique to test a jumper when he was suddenly double-teamed.

   He was a little caught off guard, because the Suns never double-teamed him, neither in the regular season nor in this game. Old K has always defended him alone, and he was not mentally prepared.

  Cerballos pounced from the left wing and double-teamed in one step, forcing him to turn around to protect the ball, but at this time Wang Tiejun's long arm stabbed the ball and stabbed it away.

   The three of them scrambled into a group and were eventually taken by Ceballos, but Wang Tiejun was still responsible for stealing.

   On the sidelines, Westphal clenched his fist happily when he saw the ball being stolen.

   He just tried it, trying to disrupt Robinson's rhythm at a critical moment, but he didn't expect it to be successful.

   "This double-team was very sudden. The Suns had never double-teamed Robinson. This time they made an attack and it was successful. At the critical moment, the Suns' defensive tactics were used well."

   In the ESPN live booth, Winston Rollin laughed.

   Came to the frontcourt, Wang Tiejun actively asked for the ball on the left wing, then Barkley pulled to the right wing, stopped for a while, then suddenly ran back, and rushed into the paint area while asking for the ball at the top of the arc.

   Defender Terry Cummings suffered a serious knee injury, couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all and was thrown off.

  Kevin Johnson quickly lobbed the ball to the basket, Barkley took the ball and jumped, and made a layup in the air.

  85:96, after the timeout, the Suns played a 10:2 attack wave, widening the point difference to 11 points. At this time, there were three minutes left in the game, and the Spurs attacked and called a timeout.

   On the ESPN live booth, Oldman laughed: "In this attack, Old K was the main point of attack. He made 3 of 3 shots, sent another assist and a steal, and grabbed a backcourt rebound. The performance is very good."

Luo Lindao: "His low post attack is really good. Now his style of play is much more flexible than when he first entered the league, with more coordination in his steps, and with fake moves, he is no longer the horizontal push and smash that he used to have no changes. , This style of play reduces some confrontations, and his physical energy consumption will also be reduced a lot."

   "With nearly two-point hooks, his ability to score in the low post is really good. If it weren't for the fact that his style of play was too physically exhausting and limited his attack times, he should have scored more points." Oldman laughed.

   "Can you see that, his attacking rhythm is not fast, and his movement is not fast, but the rhythm is very stable, which makes his shots very stable." Rollin said.

   "So his nearly two-point shooting rate can reach 40%, which is a very good shooting rate, and none of the three super centers can reach it." Oldman said.

   "I also noticed that his pace moves, like his leaning and hitting, has its own unique characteristics." Rollin said.

   "You mean, his feet?" Oldman responded immediately.

   "Yes, his feet are like ice skating when he moves, always sticking to the ground." Rollin nodded.

   "Well, I know one of the advantages of doing this. It won't step on other people's feet and can effectively protect his ankles." Oldman laughed.

"Ha ha…"

  Rollin laughed twice and said, "Carter, you are right, but this will also make his movement less fast, because his feet are close to the ground, and his explosiveness is not enough."

The reason why he said this is because he did not know the steps of martial arts such as Xiongbu. What he pays attention to is the high-frequency oscillation of the muscles of the lower limbs, which can explode at any time, without any need to do more preparations for exertion. The pace of martial arts is just one word, fast .

  Wang Tiejun couldn't get up fast, not because of his pace, but because his own mobility was not enough.

   The timeout ended, and Dale Ellis hit a three-pointer.

   Turning around, Barkley beat Terry Cummings with his back. The latter had just come back from a serious knee injury, and the tonnage was only 100 kg. How could he hold his back and beat his opponent, and then turned around and entered the paint area.

"Oops!"

  Robinson went back to defend the basket, Barkley threw the ball over the former's head, and he thought of the old K behind him.

   "Boom!"

   The next moment, he was directly hit by a huge horse and fell to his knees under the basket.

"boom!"

  Between the roar of the basket, the audience exploded in an instant, and countless home fans raised their arms and shouted wildly.

   "Beautiful space dunks, Flying Pig assisted Old K, Old K dunked Admiral David Robinson, and he made the super center kneel under the basket..."

   "Old K, just **** him like this!"

   On the live commentary table, the two commentators roared in excitement.

   "Damn it!"

  Robinson knelt under the basket, very embarrassed, he quickly turned over, changed from kneeling to sitting, and patted the floor angrily.

   "Hey, Xueba, get out of the way, do you want me to step over your head?" Above his head, Wang Tiejun's voice sounded.

   "Shet!"

  Robinson didn't care about being elegant, and quickly turned over and got up.

   In this game, the Spurs failed to pull back at the last minute, but were demoralized instead.

  David Robinson took over the offense at the last minute, but his physical fitness was already poor, and the Suns double-teamed again and missed 4 consecutive shots.

   In the end, at 91:105, the Suns won by 14 points and won the G1 battle.

  Wang Tiejun played 41 minutes, made 8 of 12 shots, a shooting rate of 66.6%, 4 of 8 penalties, and scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.

Robinson played 42 minutes, 10 of 26 shots, 6 of 13 shots in the first half, only 4 of 13 shots in the second half, shooting 38.5% from the field, 4 of 5 free throws, plus 2 of 3 free throws, scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 1 The data of steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.

  The best of the game was Barkley, who scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls in 42 minutes.

  On the ESPN live booth, Winston Rollins summed up after the game at this time, saying: "The Suns' bench lineup is not enough, the scoring ability is not enough, the rotation is reduced, and the main lineup must play longer.

  Tonight's five starters all played 40 minutes, which should be noticed by the coaching staff. This is a series, and physical distribution is very important. "

   Carter Oldman said: "It's easy to get injured after playing for a long time. The Suns can't afford injuries now, especially the main force. There can be no problems."

Rollins added: "Tonight, the Suns had three points with 20+ points, Barkley, K, and Kevin Johnson also scored 21 points, Dan Marley scored 13 points, Ceballos scored 6, the five main players The combined score was 90 points, and the bench team only scored 15 points. Among them, Danny Ainge scored 8 points, Tom Chambers scored 4 points, the others only scored 3 points in total, and there were two backups who did not score a point.

   This ratio is too unbalanced and relies too much on the main lineup. Once an injury strikes, or which main force performs abnormally, it is very likely, so this is a huge hidden danger, and problems are likely to occur later. "

   "So you're more optimistic about the Spurs advancing?" Oldman asked.

  Rollin thought for a while and said: "Antoine Kyle doesn't know how the injury is, if he can't come back, the Spurs' strength will also be seriously affected.

   The strength of the two teams is still similar. It depends on who has better luck, who plays better on the spot, and whose tactics are more reasonable. "

Back in the locker room, Paul Westphal first summed up the game, and then said: "All the main players need to be ready, you will play a lot of time in the next series, I hope you keep Keep your body in good shape, try to rest and recover from fatigue when there is no competition."

   "Old K, how are you?" Barkley asked.

"good."

   said so, but Wang Tiejun actually felt very tired.

   The second series has just begun. If it goes well, there will be the Western Conference Finals and even the Finals. He now has a clearer understanding of the NBA schedule.

   If he wants to have a more lasting performance, he must reduce some of the confrontation, reduce his shots at the basket, and increase some of the hooks near the basket, sacrificing efficiency to reduce physical consumption.

At this time, assistant coach Lewis said: "Guys, the Bulls just finished the game, 84:91, the Bulls won by 7 points, Jordan made 16 of 30 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 53.3% from the field, 11 of 11 free throws , scored 43 points, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block."

   "With such a home, another 40+ hits, how high can the efficiency be."

   "11 free throws, a lot of breakthroughs. If we can reach the finals and meet the Bulls, be careful about his breakthroughs."

   Everyone started talking.

  Lewis said again with a strange expression: "But the strange thing is that he didn't grab a rebound today, as if the rebound was deliberately avoiding him."

   "How much did the Bulls lose in rebounding?" Barkley asked.

   "No loss, 34:40, 6 more."

  Lewis laughed: "The Bulls were 0-for-7 from three-pointers and the Cavaliers were 5-for-16 from three-pointers, but the overall shooting percentage, the Cavaliers, fell by 3 percentage points.

   In terms of steals, the Bulls have 9 and the Cavaliers have only 3. The Bulls blocked 3, and the Cavaliers did not have one. Errors, the Cavaliers 4 more times.

  The Bulls won on defense, stealing and blocking shots, forcing opponents to make mistakes, allowing them to take 6 more shots than the Cavaliers, and with a higher hit rate, victory was in hand. "

   At this time, head coach Paul Westphal said: "Let's not talk about the Bulls, that's too far away, let's talk about the Spurs.

We didn’t put enough pressure on the Spurs on the outside. Our outside defense was not good. On the contrary, we had as many as 8 turnovers on the outside in this game, but the Spurs only had 4. This problem must be solved. It is not that we have no defensive ability on the outside. We're better than them, but we're not focused enough on the game..."

Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley nodded. Although they are All-Stars, they are both eager for championships, so even though Paul Westphal is a rookie and has no place on the team, they are at this time. You must also follow instructions from the other party.

   An hour later, the post-match press conference was held.

   All the four main players of the Suns participated, and they were very happy to win the game, with smiles on their faces.

   "Charles, what are your thoughts on the outcome of this series?" The first question was from a reporter from the New York Sports Daily.

   "I have a group of very good teammates, we will definitely advance, and we are full of confidence in that." Barkley said firmly.

   "That means, you don't think your former Philadelphia teammates are good?" the reporter asked.

   This question made Barkley so disgusted that his face was not very good, and he quickly distinguished: "I didn't say that, they are all very good, I just said that my current teammates are very good."

   At this time, the host asked people to take back the microphone, and then handed it over to the reporter of the local sports newspaper.

The local reporter changed the target and asked: "Old K, you played 20+10 tonight, and the efficiency is also very high, much higher than David Robinson, but you are facing a super center, but your performance is better than that of David Robinson. You're better at playing Divac, what's the reason?"

  Pharaoh laughed: "The Lakers double-teamed me and the Spurs didn't. This is the first reason. The second reason, I think Divac's defense is not weaker than Robinson."

The third reporter is also a local Phoenix Daily Telegraph reporter, he asked: "Mr. coach, tonight our rotation is very small, it is not as good as the first round, the main team has played for too long, and only Danny Ainge is on the bench. Have a solid scoring ability, have you considered that?"

Paul Westphal said solemnly: "Of course the coaching staff knows about this problem, but we have no other way at the moment, there are only so many people we can trust, Chambers's state has not returned, I hope he can recover as soon as possible come over."

This problem has just passed. Everyone knows that when the playoffs are the main force, the rotation of all playoff teams will be reduced. At this time, it depends on the performance of the main players. Basically, it is a rotation of eight or nine people. At least there will be more than nine people, so it is enough to let the main force breathe.

After the    press conference, the Suns took the bus back to the training base, and then drove home from there.

  Wang Tiejun returned home and was not sleepy for the time being. He put a basin of water and took a hot bath.

"Medicated bath?"

   While soaking, he suddenly remembered something.

   In my hometown, some families who practice martial arts, if possible, will take medicated baths from childhood, which can make the muscles and bones grow better, enhance physical fitness, and also relieve the damage caused by martial arts to the body and avoid injuries.

   But he never tried it, because medicated baths are too expensive, and many families who practice martial arts do not have this financial ability. Eighteen generations of his family are poor peasants, and it is difficult to eat. Where can there be money for medicated baths?

   got up in a hurry, wrapped a bath towel, he came to the living room, and dialed the phone at home.

   "Hey, who is it?"

   It is noon in the country at the moment, and the family should be preparing for lunch. The phone was answered soon, and it was my father, Wang Aiguo, who answered the call.

   "Dad, it's me!"

   "Oh, big sister, Tiejun called."

   After Wang Aiguo heard Wang Tiejun's voice, he did not speak to him, but immediately shouted into the kitchen with his throat pulled.

   Next, Wang Tiejun chatted with his parents for a while before getting to the point.

   "Dad, that's what happened. You can ask me about some martial arts gyms in the city. I want to buy a medicinal bath recipe now," he said.

"Medicated bath?"

  Wang Aiguo stopped for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Tie Jun, these things are from the bottom of other people's boxes, and they can't be sold. If you want to have a medicinal bath, you can only buy the medicine prepared by them."

   "Dad, throw money, there are always people who need money, throw more money," he said.

   "You're throwing money at it again? So how much money is appropriate? If you don't do it, you won't be able to pay for it." Wang Aiguo stammered.

  Wang Tiejun thought about it for a moment, combined with the current domestic situation, and said: "50,000,000 is fine. You tell them, I use it myself, and I won't spread it."

   He felt that the price was almost the same. Now the average salary in first-tier cities in China is only 300 yuan a month, and 100,000 yuan is very high.

   "500,000 to buy a recipe?"

   Wang Aiguo's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Sister Liu who was beside him. The latter said worriedly, "Tie Jun can buy it if he wants to. He suddenly needs a prescription for a medicinal bath. Maybe he was injured somewhere."

   "Mom, I'm not injured, I just want to train my body with a medicinal bath to make me stronger." Wang Tiejun quickly explained when he heard it.

   "Hey, it's fine if it's not hurt, it's fine if it doesn't hurt." Big Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

   "Well then, Tie Jun, Dad, let's go and find out." Wang Aiguo said.

"Dad, pay attention, go to those families who practice martial arts to inquire. If you want a recipe that works well, don't let them hide it. You can talk about it first, including the brewing and brewing of the medicinal materials. You must also write down..." Wang Tiejun urged road.

   "Don't worry about this, you have to spend so much money, you must do it well. After dinner, Dad will ask." Wang Aiguo said.

   "In addition, in terms of the price, it doesn't matter how high it is, the main thing is that the recipe is better." After another warning, he hung up the phone and Wang Tiejun went to take a bath again.
