Chapter 150 is a general, there is a promotion

  The Spurs players returned to the bench panting, the bench players handed the water to the water, the towel handed the towel, and John Lucas said on the side:

"Guys, it's too bad, we had three turnovers in the first half of the quarter, which is bad. We need to focus more on the game now, which allows us to be more engaged. I'm going to make a little change now. , David..."

   "Huh?" Robinson, who was wiping his sweat, snorted.

  John Lucas said with a headache: "I did let you increase the attack at the basket, but you need to play more flexible, and don't let that rookie figure out your attack.

  You are a super center, you have a hundred ways to beat him, come on with your skills, you can do it. "

   "Of course I can." Robinson replied coldly.

  John Lucart didn't have the problem of bagging the old K, because Wang Tiejun didn't have many offenses, the problem was not serious, he didn't want to intensify the conflict with Robinson at this time.

   After the timeout, the Spurs attacked and set up a high pick-and-roll strategy. Robinson pulled up and did a pick-and-roll for Avery Johnson.

   He has the ability to shoot from the mid-to-long range. He can stay in the high post and wait for the return pass, or he can go down, go straight to the basket, or pull to the flank.

  Wang Tiejun can only keep up. In terms of height, even Barkley can't guard against the high-ranking Robinson, he can only guard him.

   However, his ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is not very good, and this defense is destined to be a problem.

At this time, Avery Johnson took the opportunity to use the wall to enter the paint area. Kevin Johnson was half a step slower when he went around Robinson and followed, and Robinson also took a pass, and did not stay in the high position, so he waited for him to follow Robinson. time, it was already a step slower.

"boom!"

   Avery Johnson rushed to the basket and turned to pass back. Robinson, who went down, caught the ball and dunked, smashing the basket.

   "The Spurs played a beautiful high-post pick-and-roll tactical cooperation!" Vinceston Rollins exclaimed in the ESPN live broadcast booth.

   "Old K's mobility made him unable to keep up with Robinson's rhythm." Carter Oldman laughed.

   "Silly bird, you almost stopped me."

   Robinson, who succeeded, was very excited and spat out trash talk at Pharaoh.

   "No wonder you can't win the championship. You have to imitate me, a rookie, even in trash talk. How can you beat me?" He immediately spouted back.

   "You?" What does this have to do with the championship, Robinson was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

  The two came to the frontcourt of the Suns, entered the low post on the left wing, and got entangled again, while constantly hitting the opponent with trash talk.

  Dan Marley broke through with the ball, and after reaching the basket to attract the defense, he gave the ball to Wang Tiejun behind David Robinson.

"boom!"

  Wang Tiejun directly knocked over David Robinson, who was turning back to defend, from behind, and dunked him.

   This was his second attack, all successful.

   "Old rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

After    succeeded, he spat out trash talk at Robinson who got up.

"asshole!"

  Robinson gritted his teeth and pushed Wang Tiejun away, and ran to the front court.

"boom!"

   was pushed away from the paint area, caught the ball one step away, and swayed Wang Tiejun with a tentative step, but missed a jumper.

   After a minute, he took the ball and attacked again, still the same, the jumper had a problem with his touch, but he still failed to hit.

   In the 9th minute of the first quarter, Robinson was replaced during the suspension of the Spurs, and Wang Tiejun was also replaced at the same time.

   Sitting on the bench, after drinking water and sweating, he looked at the system.

In the first quarter, he used the defensive skills taught him by Barkley to prevent Robinson from facing the basket twice. He thought it was a good improvement. He used to have a hard time preventing the Admiral's facing-to-the-basket breakthrough. He wanted to see if the system had any Raise his level.

   "Playing Robinson in the regular season has also improved. It seems that he is really my lucky star. I have to treat him well."

   From this point of view, it has really improved. The single defense has been increased from level 82 to level 84, and it has been increased by two levels at once, which is simply a surprise.

   After the first quarter, at 21:32, the Spurs trailed by 11 points in a single quarter.

   Today, Barkley played like a god. He made three steals in a single quarter and the Spurs made five turnovers in the first quarter, which was the main reason for the lag.

  David Robinson made 2 of 6 shots, no free throws, and only got 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 turnover and 1 foul.

  Wang Tiejun made 2 of 2 shots and made no free throws, scoring 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

   "Old K, you had a good defense against Robinson today, right?" Barkley laughed.

"But after he stopped shooting, he was shooting outside. I couldn't keep up, so how should I defend? You have to teach me again, don't hide it, then if you can't win the championship, I will be your championship. The last piece of the puzzle." Wang Tiejun said.

"this…"

Hearing the championship, Barkley instantly became serious, thought about it, and said, "Either use your body, you stick to him directly, don't let him face the basket, continue to push him outward, his back is average, then It can't hit you from a long distance.

  If it is too late, you should also close the distance with him and stand in the defensive position when he faces the basket.

Your tonnage is large, your bottom is stable, your legs are slightly spread apart, and you occupy a large defensive area. If he breaks through to the basket, he will bypass you, at least two steps, and the movement speed will also be stagnant, which gives Your chance to turn around and defend. "

  Wang Tiejun nodded thoughtfully, this method can be tried, it seems very reasonable, if it succeeds, maybe his defense level will be improved again.

   At the beginning of the second quarter, he and Tom Chambers played, Dan Marley continued to play, plus backup point guards Knight and Danny Ainge.

   The Spurs were behind and Robinson played.

  Sun attack.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   Two consecutive hits by Tie Shan, neither light nor heavy, Wang Tiejun's one foot in the paint area, Robinson's tonnage and strength suffered too much and could not stand it.

   "Boom!"

   In the third Tie Shan hit with all his strength, Robinson groaned and staggered back. At this time, he turned around and stepped forward.

  Robinson was too late to take off, grabbed his jersey and pulled it down.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle blew.

"boom!"

The moment    smashed the basket with one hand, the basketball jumped up, the dunk flew, and he was also pulled down.

   "What's so special!"

   He hates himself for wasting two years of time, resulting in too weak explosiveness and not getting up fast enough, otherwise it will be difficult for the opponent to pull him.

   This ball is replaced by O'Neal, there is no chance to hold him at all, and it is likely to be two plus one at a time.

   The year he was imprisoned, he was just 17 years old, and his body entered the final stage of development. He had grown more than ten centimeters in one year. When he was imprisoned, his nutrition was not enough, his muscles did not come out, and his body was very thin.

   This year, he couldn't do strength training either, and his body was growing taller, so he couldn't do much strength training at all.

The formation of strength lies in the years of weight gain after physical development. As a basketball player, you should not practice strength too much in your youth, otherwise you will not grow taller. Just like those gymnasts, strength training is too early. , so they are all short.

   When he arrived in the United States, his physique was far less than he is now, weighing at most 105 kilograms, and then because of several months of heavy physical work, he grew a large muscle.

   Heavy physical work does not require explosive power, but absolute strength, so his muscles have no explosive power.

   To put it simply, in the most suitable period for strength training after he completed his physical development, not only did he not do strength training, but also because of work reasons, his body naturally biased towards absolute strength rather than explosive strength.

  Two free throws, he got to the free throw line, dribbled six times, closed the ball, exhaled, shot…

   "Sigh!"

  The basketball passed through the hoop and made a free throw.

   "Hey, 1 for 1 free throw, 100% hit rate." He laughed.

"fool!"

  Robinson was extremely disdainful and glanced at Wang Tiejun like an idiot.

   "Soft egg, do you have a free throw opportunity?" He spouted immediately.

  “…”

  Robinson is angry, that is, he feels superior to others, or he will throw a punch.

"boom!"

   The second ball smashed into the basket and made two free throws.

   Spurs offense.

   On the left wing, one step outside the paint area, Robinson was pushed here by Wang Tiejun, and then he received the ball with his back against the defender.

   Hold the ball with both hands, step back with the left foot, widen the distance from the defender, and turn from the back to the face.

   But at this moment, Wang Tiejun suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, forcing him in front of him. While grabbing the ball, he pressed his body against him. He quickly raised his hands up to avoid being intercepted.

   At this time, Wang Tiejun suddenly leaned forward with his chest, and hit Tieshan against his body. He couldn't stand under his feet, and his right foot couldn't help but step back.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle sounded, pointed at Robinson, and made a walking gesture.

   "NONO, my support feet didn't move." Robinson quickly distinguished.

   The referee shook his head, pointed to his right foot and said, "That's your supporting foot. You moved just now."

   "Haha..." Comrade Pharaoh laughed beside him.

  Robinson was so angry that he could only hand the ball to the referee.

   "The Spurs made their 6th turnover. I'd like to see how many turnovers this team will make today?" Vinceston Rollins said dissatisfiedly in the ESPN live broadcast booth.

   "Admiral is careless!" Carter Oldman shook his head and sighed.

"main idea?"

   Luo Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Old K, as a rookie, scored 20+10 data on his head in both the regular season and the G1 game. Carelessness is not an excuse. He has no qualifications to underestimate the old K."

   "No, I'm referring to defense. Old K is strong in attack and weak in defense. His defense has always been a problem, and it is now." Oldman explained.

Only Luo Lin accepted this explanation, nodded and said, "Old K's defense was indeed very successful today. Robinson singled out Old K five times, but he failed once. If it weren't for the two breakthrough points from the outside, he had two dunks. It's not 2-for-7, but the uglier 0-for-5."

  Oldman nodded and said: "And there is no free throw, and the lethality is zero, which is really unreasonable. From the first round, Robinson did lose his lethality. After a few games, the efficiency is not high."

Luo Lindao: "The coaching staff's tactics also have problems. The two perimeter tactics and pick-and-roll tactics have been successful. Why not play? It's hard for Old K to keep up with Robinson's movement, so why not use Robinson's mobility to mobilize him. ?"

  The game was going on, Robinson got angry and kept asking for the ball, trying to blow Wang Tiejun.

   But he really didn't feel good today, plus Wang Tiejun's defense has improved and he's more targeted, he can't get in, so he can only shoot outside.

   After 8 minutes in the second quarter, he made 2 of 6 shots and 4 of 12 shots in the half, with a shooting percentage of only 33.3%. He scored 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, and was replaced.

   However, this hit rate is similar to his performance in the first round. Once the opponent's defense is strengthened, his efficiency will drop a lot.

   At the same time, he didn't have a free throw at halftime.

   On the Suns side, the scoring ability of the bench lineup is not enough. Wang Tiejun is different from the first quarter, and he makes a lot of shots.

   The Spurs never double-teamed him, creating conditions for his shot.

   He played the same 8 minutes as Robinson, made 3 of 6 shots in the second quarter, 5 of 8 in the half, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 turnover and 1 foul.

   Of the 6 offenses in the second quarter, only 2 of them were at the basket, all of which were successful, and the remaining 4 were nearly two-point shots, hitting two goals.

   At halftime, 43:55, the Suns led by 12 points, and the Spurs were biting the score in the second quarter.

On ESPN's live broadcast, Winston Rollins laughed: "David Robinson and Old K played against each other in the half, the super center's hit rate was very poor, and the rookie Old K played again with high efficiency, which is quite incredible. "

Carter Oldman said: "This is actually not surprising. Winston, have you noticed Mourning in the Hornets? Also as a rookie, his performance is not weaker than the three super centers, I mean he is in the playoff performance.

   In terms of offensive efficiency, he is even stronger than the three super centers, so I am not surprised that the efficiency of the old K is higher than that of Robinson. "

  Rollin nodded and said: "Last year did produce a few very good centers, from Shaquille O'Neal to Mourning, from Laettner to Old K, and they all performed very well."

Oldman analyzed: "Old K's hooks are still good today, only two dunks at the basket in the first quarter, but four hooks in the second quarter, two hits, 50% hit rate, very high , In general, the shooting percentage in the near two-point area is the lowest."

  Rollin said with a smile: "His shot stability is very good, I don't know if you have noticed, whether he is relying on hitting, or moving, including when shooting, his upper body will remain in an upright state."

"Really?"

  Oldman was a little surprised, he didn't notice it.

   "You can collect video footage of his games and you'll know I'm right."

  Rollin added: "The upper body is always upright, which shows that his center of gravity is very well maintained, which provides stability for his shots. I think this is also the reason for his high percentage of near-basket hook shots."

   "It's also a reason that the Spurs didn't double-team him," Oldman said.

   Luo Lin laughed and said: "But today the sun also did not double-team Robinson."

   "Well, I have nothing to say." Oldman laughed.

  The visiting team's locker room has a bad atmosphere.

  No, it was very bad, and there was a heated argument between head coaches John Lucas and David Robinson.

  The reason is that Lucas wanted to double-team Old K in the second half, but Robertson felt ashamed and refused to agree.

   In the current era, one-on-one singles is advocated. He would be embarrassed if a super center double-teams a rookie.

   Then, under his anger, Lucas said in a sarcastic tone that instead of letting him blow you up, it would be better to call a double team, which is good for you personally and for the team.

   Well, this angered David Robinson, and the two immediately changed their faces and quarreled for a few words, and then the locker room fell into silence, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

  Spurs owner and general manager McComb was in a very bad mood. He stood aside with a gloomy face, thinking about selling the team.

Yes, the Spurs can't make any money at all, the market is too small, and players' wages have started to rise in the past two years. David Robinson's contract this year has nearly doubled from the last one, but the lineup is still not enough. He had to put in, and it bored him.

   Now there are problems in the team's locker room. Like Larry Brown before him, David Robinson and the head coach have re-emerged in a discordant situation, which annoys him even more, and his idea of ​​selling the team is more determined.

  David Robinson also seemed to sense the boss's mood, gritted his teeth, and said, "I can accept double-teaming, but if the tactics fail, someone has to take responsibility."

  John Lucas had no choice but to accept.

   After the intermission, the second half begins.

   In the third quarter, the Suns were still half the main force and half the bench.

   After this quarter, the Spurs chased up half of the score, 69:75, and were still 6 points behind. The weakness of the Suns' bench lineup was exposed.

  Wang Tiejun played half of the third quarter, made 1 of 3 hook shots and 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 foul.

   In his three shots, he was double-teamed twice, took Robinson's cap and missed one.

  In the end, from the very beginning, the Suns had all the main force, and the Spurs did the same.

In the first half of the quarter, because the Spurs double-teamed him, under the decision of the coaching staff, he rarely shot. Barkley was responsible for the low-post offense, he was responsible for covering screens, and grabbed three rebounds, one of which was an offensive rebound. , and sent out two assists and another goal.

  The Spurs were paralyzed, and the double-teaming force gradually shifted to Barkley, releasing him from supervision.

   In the 7th minute of the last quarter, on the right side of the basket, Barkley suddenly passed the ball to him in the low position on the left wing.

"not good!"

  David Robinson has made up to the basket and hurriedly turned around and rushed.

   "Sigh!"

   took a step forward and took off, and hooked a near basket at a distance of about 2.2 meters. The ball slipped a foot above David Robinson's fingertips and fell into the basket.
