Chapter 218 Injuring Barkley, the first triple-double of his career

   On the court, Mosaic attacked, Da Meng missed a shot, Wang Tiejun grabbed the rebound, and the Suns attacked.

   This time, Dan Marley got the ball one step beyond the left-wing 3-point line, drew Barkley near the 3-point line, and quickly passed the ball down.

   "Boom!"

  Wang Tiejun immediately started to hit the ball, and the first hit knocked Riley back a step.

   At this time, Barkley on the three-point line did not dare to come down, because the distance was too far, he was almost four meters away from the low post, and it was useless to come down.

   At the same time, AC Green on the right wing did not approach the paint area, but ran to the bottom corner, ready to catch the ball.

   His running is to contain the big dream.

   But the big dream had no choice. He knew that Riley couldn't stop the old K, so he could only choose to continue to defend the basket and let Green empty.

   "Whoosh!"

  Wang Tiejun saw Green's vacancy, and immediately threw a single-handed, straight-line cross like a scalpel, pierced through all the defenses of the Mosaic team, and gave Green in the right blocking area.

   The big dream of going back to the basket can only turn around and go back to defending Green, but it's too late.

  Green shot calmly and the ball flew to the basket.

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun, who had passed the ball, immediately entered the paint area, ready to grab the offensive rebound.

"boom!"

  The ball missed, Wang Tiejun stuck the meat shield Riley behind him, and then filled the ball into the basket.

   "Shet!"

   Da Meng, who ran under the basket with Green at both ends, turned pale with anger, and in the end he didn't even have the chance to grab a rebound.

"Beautiful!"

   Zhang Liliang praised and analyzed: "The Mosaic team played really well in the last game, but this time the Suns have calmed down, they have experience and found a way to deal with it.

Although Da Meng is strong, he is only one person after all. He has to defend Green who was pulled out, return to the basket, and finally return to defend Green. This is impossible. The final result is that he even grabs rebounds. Opportunities are gone. "

  Su Qun smiled and said, "Dameng can either concentrate on defending back to the basket and protect the rebounds in the backcourt, or he can't go back to the basket, but then the old K can blow up the opponent."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The role of the meat shield is there, but after all, it is just a meat shield. Eric Clary is a rookie himself, and he has no strength. The weight gain to 130 kg has seriously affected his ability to move and bounce. No way, he's even weaker.

   As long as the tactics are right, the Suns can limit the effect of this meat shield to the greatest extent. After all, as long as Barkley's help is limited, it is very easy for the Iron Army to blow up a meat shield. "

  Su Qun smiled and said, "It should be difficult to find someone with the tonnage and strength of Old K and O'Neal."

   Zhang Lili gave a haha ​​and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, it's very, very difficult, not even one in decades.

  Look at Shaquille O'Neal, with his stature and absolute athleticism, he has been the only one in the NBA for decades, and then Chamberlain. "

   After the first quarter, at 22:26, ​​the Suns led by 4 points at home.

   This is not easy. Mosaic's lineup is obviously a notch stronger. The performance of the Suns tonight made the atmosphere at home very good, and there were continuous cheers and applause.

  Dan Marley had a good feel tonight and got several open spots. He played 11 minutes in the first quarter and made 4 of 6 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 10 points.

  AC Green also got 4 shots, three of which came from Wang Tiejun, and he also hit two of them.

Wang Tiejun didn't play much himself. He played for 12 minutes in the first quarter. He only made 2 shots and hit one goal. However, Riley fouled twice, made 2 of 4 free throws, and made 4 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover in the first quarter. data.

   Zhang Lili smiled excitedly: "Tie Jun has been playing for a season, and he hasn't hit a triple-double yet, so I have a chance today!"

   "4 assists in a single quarter should really be possible." Su Qun was also excited.

   Not only them, Wang Tiejun himself was thinking about this issue.

   Sitting on the bench, after learning his stats from assistant coach Lewis, he began to think about hitting a triple-double today.

   It must be a good feeling to be able to win, get a triple-double, and get a point reward.

   But just think about it, if you want to get ten assists, it depends on luck and the tactics of the opponent.

   In the first quarter, Barkley insisted on double-teaming him. In the case of his 4 assists in a single quarter, whether he will be double-teamed in the next quarter will probably need to be carefully considered by the coach of the other side.

  Barkley played 10 minutes in the first quarter and played in the 3rd minute of the second quarter.

   In the first quarter of the big dream, because Wang Tiejun was always on the court, he also played full.

  Wang Tiejun played in the 5th minute of the second quarter, and Da Meng also played.

   At this time, the two sides were tied at 34, the Suns attacked, and they all opened up.

  Richard Petruska, another substitute for the Mosaic team, stayed on the field, 208 cm and 125 kg, against Wang Tiejun.

   Danny Ainge was still on the floor, and like Dan Marley, used his 3-pointer to pull Barkley near the 3-point line.

  The Suns' tactics were still the same, the ball was handed to Dan Marley, after attracting Barkley, it passed down to the left wing low.

   "Will you still go down to double-team?" Zhang Lili asked loudly.

   "No." Su Qun shouted.

   "Boom!"

  The moment after catching the ball, Wang Tiejun began to rely on hitting. The 125kg Petruska weighed almost the same as him, but his absolute strength and quality were not as good as him. In addition to his relying on hitting skills, he was directly knocked half a step away.

   The next moment, the second instant burst by hitting.

"Uh!"

  Petruska groaned, turned back, and with a bang, hit the floor like a mountain of meat, and the floor jumped for it.

  Wang Tiejun went a step further, stepped into the paint area with one foot, stepped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, raised it above his head, and flew to the basket.

The big dream, who was pulled out, had completely lost Green and threw himself into the paint area, but he was also apprehensive when he saw Old K's attacking the basket so violently. Although he jumped up to block, he deliberately avoided the possibility. midair collision.

"Snapped!"

   His defense is indeed very strong. He stretched out his right hand and pressed the basketball in Wang Tiejun's hands accurately.

But the difference in strength was clearly reflected at this moment. Two hands against one hand, Wang Tiejun exerted his force, and there was a huge impact from his body. In an instant, he forcibly broke through the opponent's cover, pressed the opponent's hand, and smashed the ball. go down.

"boom!"

  Between the roar of the basket, the entire basket was smashed and sank sharply, almost sinking to the bottom.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle blew.

"yeah!"

  The audience suddenly cheered, and countless fans raised their arms and shouted in excitement.

   "Ow!"

   With a strange cry, a live commentator roared wildly: "Old K has a big dream, and the super center can't stop him."

   "Two plus one, Olajuwon fouls twice, old K, you are the strongest tonight, you are unstoppable tonight." Another commentator roared with the same excitement.

   "This ball boosted morale." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

   "It also hurt the morale of the opponent. The opponent's meat shield was directly knocked over, and the big dream of making up the defense was hit by two plus one." Su Qun laughed excitedly.

In the ABC live booth, Bill Walton laughed: "In response to Mosaic's double-team tactics, the Suns found a very simple way to deal with it, and arranged for Old K to have a teammate who can shoot three-pointers. Just hit.

  Although he still has to face Da Meng's supplementary defense, he has more options. He has physical strength to attack by himself. If he wants to rest, he can pass it to Green. "

  John Hanks said: "Now the problem is on Mosaic's side, how to solve the point of old K, should we fully shrink the defense?"

   On the court, Wang Tiejun and a group of teammates were also celebrating, and then stood at the free throw line.

"brush!"

   added a penalty hit, 34:37, the Suns led by 3 points.

   Looking back, Da Meng singled Green and missed a jumper. Wang Tiejun got stuck with his meat shield and grabbed the rebound. The Suns attacked.

"Snapped!"

  The left wing was low, he caught the basketball passed down by Danny Ainge with one hand, suddenly turned down, shot the meat shield directly, dribbled the ball once, and entered the paint area in one step.

  Dameng went back to defending the basket again, and his reaction and return to defense were very fast, but no matter how fast he was, he was also separated by a basket.

"boom!"

   flew to the basket and Wang Tiejun dunked another ball.

  “Yeah yeah…”

  Consecutive dunks brought the home atmosphere to its peak, in full swing.

"Snapped!"

  Three minutes later, when he went up the mountain, he finally met a tiger. When Comrade Lao Wang broke through the meat shield and attacked the basket again, he finally ate the big hat of the big dream to help the defense.

   Afterwards, he used the method of assisting Green, forcing Da Meng not to return to the defense with all his strength, weakening the quality of the opponent's weak-side help defense.

   But in general, after Barkley couldn't come down to double-team him on the strong side, the big dream of being pulled out by Green on the weak side was also difficult to make high-quality assist defense, and an occasional successful assist defense was irrelevant.

   After halftime, 50:57, the Suns led by 7 points.

Zhang Lili sighed: "The Mosaic team is really strong. The Suns are so high now, they can still hold on. Big Dream and Barkley scored 24 points in the half. If it weren't for the outside line, this team would be almost We can book a championship."

  Suqun smiled and said, "After this half, the Suns still have a chance to win."

   Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Although the Suns' lineup is worse, it is not without a chance to win. As long as they play well and have the right tactics, there is definitely a chance.

  Tie Jun made 4 of 6 shots in the half, 5 of 8 free throws, and got 13 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, 1 turnover and 1 foul. With such a versatile performance, tonight is an opportunity. "

  Su Qun asked with a smile: "Guide Zhang, Mosaic's lineup is obviously stronger, why is it still behind?"

   "Status is a very important reason, the lineup is just a foundation, so it is very common for the team with the stronger lineup to lose the game."

After explaining it, Zhang Lili said again: "In this half of the game, there was a problem with Team Mosaic's tactics. They were obviously the strongest insiders, but they were defeated in the inside tonight, allowing Tiejun to do whatever they wanted inside, scoring and assisting. omnipotent.

  If the coaching staff does not solve the tactical problem, the win or loss tonight is basically a foregone conclusion.

   But this is just a regular season, everyone is just experimenting with tactics and preparing for the playoffs, so even if the Suns win tonight, it doesn’t mean much. "

In the ABC live booth, Bill Walton analyzed: "The Mosaic team arranged a meat shield and placed Barkley at the 3rd position. It really caught the Suns by surprise in the first regular season of the two sides. The effect was very good, and it won A big win.

   But every tactic has pros and cons, and so does this tactic, which has several big weaknesses. "

   "Bill, what is it?" John Hanks asked immediately, cooperatively.

Bill Walton laughed: "First, it reduces the most powerful low post ability of the Mosaic team, I mean not only the offensive end, but also the defensive end, it reduces the quality of the low post attack and defense by a grade, or even more than one. grade.

Because the meat shield replaced Barkley's position, and he has no offensive ability, the defense is only the role of the meat shield. As long as Barkley is pinned down and can't come down to double-team the old K, then the weak-side big dream will be difficult to really defend. Old K's attack. "

John Hanks nodded and said: "Old K made 3 of 4 shots in the second quarter, all of which were basket attacks. Except for the one who was blocked, the other three attacks were all scored, plus 3 of 4 free throws, 9 points and 3 in a single quarter. Rebounding, 1 assist and 1 block, Dameng's help defense + meat shield top defense did not pose many obstacles to him."

   Bill Walton said: "It's like this on the defensive end. On the offensive end, the meat shield didn't attack, and AC Green blocked him.

Big Dream can really beat Old K, but Old K adopts a strategy of preventing breakthroughs and not shooting. He is also very difficult to get to the basket. Not very efficient. "

  John Hanks immediately said: "Dream made 6 of 13 shots in the half, 46.1% from the field, 4 of 4 penalties, and scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks."

   Bill Walton added: "Second, that is Barkley playing a small forward, which makes his offense mainly outside the paint area, and the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced."

  John Hanks read: "Barkley made 5 of 11 shots in the half, 45.5% from the field, 1 of 2 free throws, and only scored 11 points."

Bill Walton laughed: "Eighty percent of the offense of the two low-post superstars is outside the paint area, which reduces the team's overall offense quality a lot. Coupled with the decrease in the low-post offense and defense quality, the Mosaic team's half court It's not surprising to be seven points behind."

   "The third, I know, is that Barkley plays the 3rd position. His rebounding ability is wasted. Tonight, the Suns' rebounding actually surpassed Mosaic." John Hanks said with a smile.

   "Bingo." Bill Walton nodded and smiled.

   In the visiting team's locker room, Tomjanovich is using the halftime break to think about how to deal with it.

   From the perspective of the lineup, it is obvious that the inside line is super strong, but the Suns' low attack and defense quality is better, and the team lost above the strongest point, which made him very uncomfortable.

   He knew that there was a problem with his thinking, which caused his tactics to be restrained by the opponent. Now he needs to solve the tactical problem, but the most important thing to adjust is his own thinking. Solve strategic problems first, then tactical problems.

   At the beginning of the second half, the Mosaic team did not play any new tactics, and Tomjanovich did not have a good solution.

   Offensive end, let Barkley and Big Dream strengthen their impact on the paint area.

   This did improve some offensive quality, but it also increased the physical consumption of the two.

At the same time, the defense of Wang Tiejun + AC Green is not so weak that it can be broken with a single blow. When the opponent strengthens the attack at the basket, they all adopt the strategy of preventing penetration but not shooting, and the defense shrinks in the paint area and strengthens the paint area. The defensive intensity did not let them take too much advantage.

   On the defensive end, the Mosaic team just let Barkley strengthen the double-team of Wang Tiejun, trying to reduce the quality of the Suns' low attack.

   This allowed the Suns to get a lot of open space opportunities on the outside. Dan Marley's open jump shot felt great tonight. He made 3 of 5 shots in the third quarter, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 8 points in a single quarter.

  Wang Tiejun's third quarter was the same as in the first quarter. He didn't make many shots. Under the circumstance of being double-teamed, he scored a lot of balls.

   He had two assists in a single quarter on Dan Marley and one on Green, bringing the assists to eight.

After three quarters, the Suns led by 11 points.

Bill Walton said: "In the third quarter, the two sides played fiercely, and the paint area entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. AC Green and Old K both fouled twice in a single quarter, and now they are both fouls four times. Pay attention to the same in the final quarter, don't make five too early. If you commit a crime, you will be somewhat passive.”

  John Hanks nodded and said, "Da Meng was brought down in the paint three times in the third quarter, and once by Barkley. With their age, will they be able to attack with such intensity in the final quarter? It's hard to say. Regular season injuries are not worth it."

   The last quarter started, the Mosaic team attacked, and Barkley took a step in the left-wing three-point line and singled Horry with the ball.

   From playing to today, the Suns have never double-teamed him and Da Meng unless they scored in the paint.

   But the fierce hand-to-hand combat in the third quarter made him a little uncomfortable. He was no better than when he was young, and it would be bad if the injury detonated.

   So this time, he arched a few times, and when he was two meters away from the paint area, he rolled over and made a jumper.

   turned around and opened the tactics. Wang Tiejun took the ball in the low position on the left flank and immediately started to rely on the meat shield Eric Clary.

  Barkley has played for 28 minutes tonight, a little tired, and did not come down to double-team.

In his entire career, only the third season averaged 40 minutes per game, and the other seasons were more than 30 minutes. Last season, it increased to 41 minutes for the championship, so his physical consumption was very large last season. Yes, this season's time has dropped to 33 minutes, and tonight's time will definitely be over, and the physical energy will be a lot.

   "Boom!"

   "Boom!"

   With two hits, Eric Clary collapsed.

  Da Meng is indeed a mess, not because of his skills, but because of his physical talent.

   So far, throughout his career, his average time per game has been controlled below 40 minutes, but this season, in order to rush to the championship, he has increased to 41 minutes, just like Barkley last season, he is working hard for the championship.

  The two are the same age. Judging from the current state, Da Meng's state is obviously stronger than that of Barkley, and there are fewer injuries.

   He played more time than Barkley tonight and was more physically exhausted, but he is still alive and well.

This time, his weak-side assist defense was very fast. When Wang Tiejun finished his second attack, he jumped behind Riley and double-teamed from above, just to block Wang Tiejun who stepped into the paint area. Got one straight.

   "What's so special!"

   The ball that was transported to the floor was stabbed by Da Meng. Wang Tiejun quickly turned around, first stuck Da Meng behind him, and then regained control of the ball.

   But at this time, Barkley had already rushed to his side, and the ball in his hand was picked up and knocked off. He quickly dunked the ball with both hands and hid it between his chest and abdomen.

   However, he was double-teamed by two superstars on the left waist of the paint area. Riley, the meat shield, was getting up, and the triple-teaming would soon be formed.

   "Go away!"

With a roar of anger in his throat, Tieshan broke out instantly when he hit him, his left foot didn't move, his right foot swung outwards, approached Barkley, and hit him.

   This iron mountain relies on hitting, and has plenty of room to exert force, and luck is also good. It hits a head.

   "Boom!"

Barkley couldn't control the distance because he wanted to grab the ball. He was too close. He groaned when he was hit, and flew backwards, his feet were knocked off the ground, and the whole portrait was directly hit by a big hand. Like pulling him off the floor.

   "Old K?"

  Buckley, who was flying in the air, was full of grief and anger. Everyone is a good brother. Do you need such a heavy hand?

Before Barkley hit the floor, when the exclamations and cheers of countless home fans just rushed out of his throat, when Riley knelt on the floor and prepared to stand up, Wang Tiejun's second Break out again by hitting.

Still using the left foot as the axis, turning down and turning down, forming a back to fight the big dream, at the same time, the right foot that was squatting back suddenly, inserted between the legs of the big dream behind him, Tieshan leaned against him. The attack erupted in an instant, and the back was like a huge hammer, slamming into the big dream fiercely.

   This is a hit, and it also has plenty of room for power.

   "Boom!"

In the extremely heavy impact, it was the same as Barkley's tonnage, but the big dream with a higher center of gravity was not able to stop the impact. All were almost torn apart by the high pressure airflow that formed in the lung cavity.

   "Damn!"

   Da Meng, who flew backwards, was full of shock in his heart. He felt as if he was walking on the road and was hit by a 120-mile truck.

"Oh!"

   At this moment, at the moment when the two super insiders were knocked into the air, the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami finally sounded in the American West Arena, and it was out of control.

   Amid the boiling shouts, when Barkley and Da Meng slammed onto the floor one after another, and when Riley finally stood up, Wang Tiejun turned around and jumped up and hit a frontal hook.

   There is no time to attack. His left foot is always in the paint area. If he doesn't make a shot, he will be violated for three seconds.

"boom!"

  The ball smashed into the basket, making this attack a complete success, and the cheers of the whole court were even higher.

   "Oh oh oh..."

   The excited roars of the two live commentators continued. At this moment, there seemed to be no other words to express the excitement in their hearts.

   "This, this, this is by playing invincible!" In the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun's scalp was numb with excitement, and his words were incoherent.

   Zhang Lili laughed and said, "The Iron Army didn't attack much in the first and third quarters, and their physical strength was about to explode in the last quarter.

   He did it. He took down two superstars at one time. In this league, when it comes to playing in the low post, he said that no one is qualified to be No. 1, no one. "

   On the court, Pharaoh walked up to Barkley, leaned over and said, "Brother, let your teammates pull you up, it's almost January, the floor is too cold, and it's easy to catch a cold."

  Buckley's face twitched and twitched, and he couldn't kick it, and cursed: "Damn it, pull me up!"

"Ha ha!"

  Pharaoh laughed and stretched out his hand to pull Buckley up.

   "His!"

   Buckley's waist twitched, the pain cracked his teeth, and he gasped.

   "Injured?" Old Wang was startled.

   "You idiot, what are you doing so hard in the regular season?" Barkley complained a little while making a substitution gesture off the court.

   "Who let you guys play and beat us is too good." Pharaoh laughed.

  Barkley was injured and the Suns successfully won the game, 101:111, winning by 10 points.

  Wang Tiejun played 39 minutes, made 9 of 14 shots, 64% from the field, 9 of 16 free throws, and scored a triple-double of 27 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.

   This is the first regular-season triple-double in his career. He has been rewarded with 500 points by the system, and now he has 600 points in his hand.
