Chapter 243 The selection of the four villains, old K is on the list

   At 9 a.m. the next day, Clyde Drexler came to the hotel where the Suns stayed. After checking in, as long as he completed a medical examination, he could officially play on behalf of the Suns.

   "Welcome to the Suns, Clyde."

  Wang Tiejun showed up with Kevin Johnson and welcomed Drexler on behalf of the team.

   "Thank you, old K, it's a pleasure to play with you." Drexler extended his right hand and smiled.

  Pharaoh is known for his violence in the league. Old-fashioned superstars like Glider will not pose in front of him, and his words are very polite.

   "Clyde, I believe you are the last piece of the puzzle for our Suns' second championship." Pharaoh said confidently.

   "Welcome, Clyde, you'll love it here." Kevin Johnson held out his hand, with a good attitude, and then Dan Marley and the others.

"thanks!"

   Drexler had a smile on his face.

   He felt pretty good. The atmosphere of the Suns made him not feel excluded. As the core of another team, he thought that old K would not like his arrival, but he was wrong.

  Pharaoh looked at the teammates around him and felt very good. The championship was waving to him, feeling a little elated.

That night, the Suns visited the Blazers, and Drexler, who had just been traded, returned to the arena he was most familiar with, but this time, his identity was no longer the player he played for. is the opponent.

  It was night, the Suns overtook the Trail Blazers and won six consecutive victories at the start of the new season.

   In this game, Pharaoh got the 33rd assist, bringing his career total assists to 500 and was rewarded with 200 points.

   After playing the Blazers, the Suns rushed back to Phoenix overnight. In the back-to-back game the next day, they defeated the visiting rotten team Timberwolves again. On the 18th, they defeated the visiting Blazers again and won the first 8 consecutive victories.

  Eastern, Pippen was injured, the Bulls lost to the Knicks in a back-to-back game, breaking the golden body of the victory, but still ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

   Therefore, the Suns also climbed to the top of the league's record list.

At the end of the second week of the game, Wang Tiejun averaged 37.5 minutes per game, 13 of 19.5 shots per game, 66.6% shooting, 7 of 11.5 free throws, 60.8% shooting, 33 points, 15.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 3.1 blocks, 1.9 turnovers, 3.8 fouls The data.

  Jordan averaged 31.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals, 0.8 blocks, 2.8 turnovers and 2.8 fouls per game, and his shooting percentage was 48.5%.

  Whether it is personal data, efficiency, or team record, he is above Jordan.

   In terms of offensive efficiency, he ranks first on the team, as does Jordan.

   In terms of defensive efficiency, he also ranks first on the team this season, as does Jordan.

   Of course, this is not to say how good his defense is now. The efficiency of single defense is really good, but help defense is still his weakness, which affects his overall defensive efficiency.

The reason why    is first in the team is because the Suns’ defense is very average now. With the aging outside, the defense strength is weakened. His help defense in the interior is still unsatisfactory, and Danny Manning is not a defensive giant.

   Player efficiency value PER, according to the official data of the league, he is 28.1, ranking first in the league, and Jordan is 27.9.

This player efficiency value combines the positive and negative contributions and negative effects of shooting percentage, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, free throws, iron strikes, turnovers, personal fouls, etc. Although it does not represent all, it can reflect the player's contribution from the side. , is still very representative.

   So after the second week, he was staring at the MVP rankings, expecting him to climb the mountain of Jordan this week.

  At 9:00 am on the 19th, after getting up, I didn’t even bother to make breakfast, so I ran to the gate outside, picked up a stack of newspapers from the newspaper box and turned it over.

   "Haha, cool!"

   Phoenix Sports News, on the front page headline, is a news headline about him: "Congratulations to Mr. K, for ranking first in the NBA regular season MVP rankings this week."

   Soon, he received congratulatory calls and text messages from some people, teammates, agent Hoxman, Yu Feihong, Colangelo and other management, head coach Westphal and so on.

   "Nothing to be happy about, it's only the second week, haha, it's only the second week, maybe one day I'll go down, haha..."

   He responded humbly.

   "Hey, why did the big sewer call me?"

   Just hung up Yu Feihong's phone and received a call from O'Neal. After answering the call, he asked with a smile, "Hello, Shark, do you want to congratulate me?"

   "Don't be smug, it's only a few games, old K, I'll catch up soon." O'Neal's words revealed a strong sour taste.

   Old Wang laughed and didn't speak, so angry that O'Neal over there hung up the phone.

   But at noon that day, in ESPN's noon news, a piece of news made him a little unhappy, very unhappy.

  ESPN announced to do a survey, the content of this survey is to select the four villains of the NBA league by fans across the United States.

  The voting method is to cut the ballot paper from the newspaper along the dotted line, check the four villains you like the most, and then mail it to ESPN. The selection results will be announced at the end of November.

  ESPN gave ten candidates, and the first candidate was him.

   "I'm going to kill you, ESPN. Are you fed up with this thing?" He cursed and looked down with relish.

The next nine candidates are, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Bill Laimbeer, Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman, Rick Mahon, Kermit Washington.

   got a pen and he started analyzing these guys.

   "Oakley? It's average, he's tough on defense, but if I've ever raised my eyebrows, I'll give you a chance to get on the list of gods." He ticked Oakley's name.

   "The postman is definitely one of the bastards. I like you the most." He ticked the postman's name again.

  John Stockton He doesn't know much about it, skip it.

Needless to say,   Buckley, the standard villain, this is his brother, and he must be on the list! Ahem, forget it, let him go and ignore it.

   "Ranbir?"

   Seeing this notorious old villain, Jordan had to lie down at his feet, and countless people were terrified, but he thought it was okay, forget it, give him a face and let him be on the list.

   He didn't know much about the next few. In order to ensure his impartiality, he made a serious call to consult Kevin Johnson.

   "Hey, Kevin, do you know these guys?" He said several names.

   "What did you ask them for?" asked Kevin Johnson, bewildered.

   "Select the four villains, they are all candidates." He said.

   There was silence for a while, and then he laughed loudly. After laughing for more than ten seconds, he stopped and said with a smile: "Okay, old K, you can fill in what you want. They are not good people, and they all meet the standard of evil people."

   "What did they do?" he asked curiously.

Kevin Johnson laughed: "John Stockton and Isiah Thomas have a lot of small moves, elbows and feet, etc. Rodman and Rick Mahon are the bad boys, but the bugs generally hide in Behind, Ma Hong rushed to the front.

This guy, Kermit Washington, was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's bodyguard back then. He practiced boxing. He once punched Tomjanovich's head, and his brain exploded on the spot. It is said that Tomjanovich also tasted his own brain. the taste of.

   Oh, yes, Tomjanovich is the current coach of the Mosaic team. After he was injured, he underwent five operations and retired directly. "

   "My God, this is really bad enough, then I have to choose him." Pharaoh opened his mouth wide. After speaking, he ticked the name of Kermit Washington.

   This afternoon, when the team was training, he threw the letter into the mailbox outside, and then rushed to the headquarters. There was a media outside and accepted an interview.

   "Old K, do you have anything to say about ESPN's selection of the league's four villains?" an ABC reporter asked.

   "I think they are boring and do not do business all day, so their professionalism is questionable." Lao Wang rudely slapped ESPN.

   "Will you vote?" the reporter asked again.

   "I won't be so boring." He said without hesitation.

   "So who do you think will be the Big Four?" another reporter asked.

  "I think ESPN's top ten candidates are not comprehensive enough to select the real villains." He said.

   "Then who do you think should be added?" the reporter asked.

   "Michael Jordan punched me on the court, then he didn't do anything, and I got sent off, so he should be a candidate," he said.

   A few reporters stayed for a while, Mr. K, are you in a relationship with Jordan?

   In the afternoon, Pharaoh's words were advertised by ABC TV, and the whole nation knew it.

   "This bastard, why didn't he mention that he beat me? I want to mobilize all my fans to vote for him, yes, I will do it."

  The Bulls didn't have a game today. Jordan just got home from training and saw the news on TV, and his neck was thick with anger.

   "Listen, David, find me some reporters, big media, world-class ones, and I'm going to hold that **** old K as the first of the four villains."

   He immediately called his agent, David Frank, and asked him to arrange an interview with reporters.

  David Frank reluctantly said: "Michael, that guy is notorious, do you still need to support him? He can't think of the first place in the villain list, at most the postman and Ranbir can compete with him.

   But the postman was done twice by him, and it is estimated that he is not competitive in front of him. In the end, Ranbir is qualified to compete with him.

   Don't get ahead in this kind of thing, lower your grade, and avoid getting into trouble, that Chinese boy is not easy to mess with. "

  Jordan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but nodded, it was true.

David Frank added: "Old K's strength has improved a lot this season. The ceiling of the yellow race is not high enough. He should be beginning to enter his peak period. The Suns have introduced Drexler, Michael, this You have to be careful this season."

   Jordan said: "Don't worry, we won't lose to the sun."

David Frank said: "By the way, this week's MVP rankings were up by old K. This kid is a little crazy now. When you meet him, you have to teach him a lesson and get the first position back. , Michael, I'm talking about playing, you must not have a conflict with him off the court."

  Jordan opened his mouth and slandered, could I not know it was playing, do you think I would be stupid enough to fight him?

On the 20th, the Suns arrived in Salt Lake City.

This season's Jazz, black and white, and Jeff Hornacek on the outside, are strong, very competitive, and have a good record. Now they are only ranked second in the West under the Suns, Jazz, Spurs, and Mosaic teams. Four.

   Actually, Pharaoh admires the postman a lot. He broke several bones. After his comeback, his state actually returned to the original state. This physique can be called an iron man.

  From the airport to the hotel, a large number of jazz fans surrounded the bus, shouting abuse, and even the bus was filmed banging.

   Old Wang got out of the car, and beside him was Liu Changfeng, just like his bodyguard, never leaving.

   Colangelo felt that it was time to arrange a bodyguard for Old K to avoid accidents.

   Subsequently, the Suns held a press conference at the hotel.

   "Old K, you are ranked No. 1 in this week's MVP rankings. Do you think you can finally win the MVP this season?" asked a reporter from SBC TV.

   "Everyone wants this honor, including me. As for the final result, everything depends on our own efforts." He said.

"In the first eight games of the current season, the Suns have not encountered a strong team, especially they have not played against any first-team team. Do you think the Suns' strength is really the first in the league?" Local Sports the reporter asked.

"Tomorrow night we're going to challenge the Jazz, and if it's a good team, then we'll beat them to prove we're strong. If it's not a good team, then we'll keep looking for a really good team to beat them, like Bull," he said.

   All the local reporters were so angry at his words, what can you prove by defeating us with such a strong lineup?

   But they couldn't admit that the Jazz were not a strong team, so they could only endure this sentence, their faces were not good-looking, and it was very uncomfortable to be made by Pharaoh's words.

   "Old K, do you think you have a chance to be the first of the four villains?"

   The next one was a local reporter, and the question raised immediately lifted the spirits of all local reporters.

Old Wang snorted coldly in his heart, but said with a dejected expression: "No way, the postman is notorious, I heard that even his college teammates were killed by him, and his career was over before it even started, how can I Compared with him?

   Up to now, I haven't crippled a single person. In the way of doing evil, I'm far inferior to him, and I don't deserve to be compared with him. I don't deserve to be compared with him. "

   "Puff!"

  Non-local reporters laughed.

   As for the local reporter, his face was even darker, and those angry eyes could not wait to wear a few holes in Pharaoh's body.

At this time, Lao Wang said righteously and sternly: "I am a kind-hearted person, and I hate evil like hatred. I was wrongly sentenced to prison to save people. If I am chosen as a wicked person, it can only be said that the morality of this world has been lost, you guys. His conscience was eaten by dogs."

  “…”

   Everyone looked at each other in dismay, Mr. K, are you saying something wrong?

   Lao Wang said excitedly at this time: "Who would go to jail to save others? I am that fool. In front of most people in this world, I am enough to be their moral model, and at least owe me a certificate of merit for being brave."

   He still didn't say a word, that is, this is the me of the past, not the me now, and the me now, would rather be a wicked person to be feared than a bad person to be praised.

  “…”

   Everyone still looked at each other in dismay, thinking, you are so shameless, do you want the world to praise you?

   Pharaoh vented half-truths and finished his words, and didn't bother to answer other questions.

  21st, the game day between the Suns and the Jazz.

   The game started at 8:30, and at 7:30, the substitute players from both sides began to warm up, and the starting list was also announced.

  Suns: Wang Tiejun, Danny Manning, Clyde Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

  Sir: Felton Spencer, Karl Malone, David Bennott, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton

   This game is very interesting. The Suns and the Jazz have become mortal enemies because of Pharaoh and the Postman, so they are favored by broadcasters. ABC TV chose to broadcast live in the United States, and there are many media present.

   However, CCTV did not broadcast live, because this is not a weekend game.

At this time, Bill Walton laughed at the ABC's commentary: "There has been a lot of news about old K recently. He won the first place in MVP, led his team to the league's first record, and his personal efficiency is the first in the league. The scoring champion is also the first, and he is also a strong contender for the top of the four villains..."

Partner John Hanks couldn't help but interrupted him with a smile, saying: "There are many more, such as he considers himself a role model of morality, haha... My God, it's been two seasons and the Postman hasn't officially spoken to him yet. Played a game, tonight I hope the postman has a chance, haha, can play a good game with old K, and not be killed by him off the court, haha..."

   The two laughed together, and even the explanation could not be carried out normally.

   After laughing for a long time, Bill Walton suddenly said solemnly: "You know, several members of Congress have recently criticized the NFL, believing that the league's management of players is too loose, resulting in more violent fights off the court."

Nodding, John Hanks said: "Yes, there were 17 large-scale on-court brawls in the NFL last season, and more than 50 people were hospitalized due to injuries, and the large-scale brawls off the field were ten times that number. Players are said to have even died as a result."

   "Every year in the NFL, players die and no fewer than five are seriously injured or disabled," added Bill Walton.

"so…"

  John Hanks said: "Compared to the NFL, compared to ice hockey, the NBA is simply too clean. The little things about the old K and the postman are hardly worth mentioning in the NFL."

   "It's really nothing, it's just a heads-up fight. Compared to a big fight, that's too gentleman." Bill Walton laughed.

   "No, it's not a heads-up, they fell in the bathroom. I'm just curious, are they in the same bathroom?" John Hanks said with a smile.

   "Haha..." The two burst into laughter again.
