Chapter 277 What are the chances of sweeping the Jazz?

"brush!"

   Looking back, the Postman made a precise mid-range shot and pulled back two points.

  The Sun attacked, Wang Tiejun changed his previous key position and went directly to the strong position at the basket.

   A real muscle contest began under the basket. The postman had no room to dodge. Dodging under the basket meant he had surrendered directly. Old K entered the key position under the basket and directly forced him into the strongest confrontation.

At the end of three seconds, the fierce collision quickly determined the winner. With his solid bottom plate strength, more balanced overall strength, and Tieshan's reliance on the fight, Wang Tiejun won the contest under the basket and squeezed the postman out. open, occupying a position in front of the basket.

"Snapped!"

  Lightning's ball came in, he caught it, and the Jazz's double-team arrived, and Tom Chambers jumped to his side.

   "Fuck you!"

  Like a trapped beast, he started frantically by fighting, and after swinging from left to right, the postman and Tom Chambers were forcibly knocked apart again, and the latter was even knocked over.

   The next moment, a giant beast rose into the air under the basket, and the momentum of getting up was so firm that no force could push him down.

"asshole!"

   The postman who was knocked away had no chance to foul, and could only look up at the dead opponent and smash the basket.

"boom!"

   Smashed his stomach and slammed his arms, and under the heavy dunk of his hands, the Jazz's basket was almost smashed to the floor.

"yeah!"

   The audience exploded again.

   On the ESPN commentary booth, Rollin roared excitedly: "The restricted area sweeper is back! The Jazz's double-team angered Old K. He stepped up his attack at the basket. He is frantically sweeping the Jazz's restricted area!"

Oldman nodded again and again: "Yes, after the old K's mobility was better this season, he reduced a lot of this sweeping attack in the regular season, but now we can see this exciting and brutal attack again. law."

   "How do you stop me? How do you stop me?" Wang Tiejun, who succeeded, was very excited and asked sharply at the postman.

   "Shut up, stinky mouth!"

  The postman stared at Wang Tiejun with fierce eyes, wishing he could swipe his elbow.

   "Old K, just **** them!"

   "Old K, do this again next time!"

   Then, Kevin Johnson and others rushed up and pushed the postman away from Pharaoh.

   In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "Tie Jun's basket is too powerful! Unless he commits a direct foul, he also made more than 60% of his free throws in the playoffs.

  Su Qun said: "John Stockton can't prevent the Lightning, and if he can't cut off the connection between the Lightning and the old K, the Jazz can't do anything about the Suns."

   nodded, and Zhang Lili said: "If this fight continues, the Suns will win very steadily, and the Jazz have no chance to come back."

  Jazz strengthened his double-teaming in the low post in this game, making Wang Tiejun's offense a little more difficult than the previous game, but he still couldn't stop him.

   After the opponent strengthened the double-teaming, he immediately changed his position, went directly to the basket, and used more basket attacks to increase his threat and lethality.

After 10 minutes of playing in the first quarter, he has made 7 of 9 shots, 4 of 7 free throws, scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 1 foul, and caused two fouls by the Postman and two fouls by Tom Chambers. , the lethality is huge.

  The postman is really good, but when his elbows are useless, Pharaoh's powerful attack from the basket makes him look pale.

   Under his crazy offense, at 21:31, the Suns led by 10 points in a single quarter.

   He was then substituted, to the warm applause of the home fans.

On the ESPN commentary booth, Luo Lin analyzed: "The postman looks very difficult under the strong attack of the old K. His height is not enough, the bounce is not as good as the old K, and the moving speed is also a little worse. The old K can not only force the break by relying on the basket If you open the double-team, you can still eat him hard."

Oldman said: "Even double-teaming at the basket can't prevent Old K's attack. I originally thought that Old K would score the ball in the double-team, but no, he has always insisted on attacking the basket, which means that he has a tough postman. determination and self-confidence.”

  Rollin Road: "Now that the Postman and Chambers have made two fouls at the same time, and are behind by ten points, this game is not easy to play. As long as the old K plays again, once he launches a strong attack at the basket again, the Jazz are likely to collapse directly."

   In fact, he didn't guess wrong. In the 4th minute of the second quarter, Pharaoh played again, attacked the Jazz again, and destroyed the Jazz in one fell swoop.

   At the end of the game, 78:115, the Suns won another big victory at home, winning 37 points, one more point than the G1 game.

  Wang Tiejun scored 38 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 7 blocks, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls in 40 minutes of the game.

   In this game, he once again broke the single-game scoring record in the playoffs.

   The opposing Postman played for 42 minutes. In the end, he committed six fouls in the final quarter. He only got 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers and 6 fouls, and the shooting percentage was only 35%.

   "Not a team at all."

   After the game, Rollin shook his head and said, "The postman doesn't seem to be able to guard against a violent center like Old K. His elbows can't deal with Old K, and he is not tall enough. After all, he is a power forward."

   "It's very simple. Not only can't guard against old K's low post attack, but I don't have much low post attack, so it's no wonder that I don't lose." Oldman laughed.

  Rollin said: "It seems that as long as the old K is in the West for one day, it will be very difficult for the Jazz to make a difference with this lineup."

  Oldman smiled and said: "Now you can guess, what is the probability that the old K will sweep the Jazz. I guess 75%, how about you, Winston?"

   Luo Lin thought for a moment, then smiled: "I guess 80%."

  Oldman laughed twice and said, "It seems that you are more optimistic about the Suns than me."

  Rollin said with a smile: "Yes, this game gave the most vivid manifestation of Old K's dominance at the basket. The superstar Postman doesn't seem to be able to cause any obstacles to him. I can't help but be optimistic about the Suns."

   In the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili said happily: "Now that we are leading 2-0, the Iron Army has performed significantly better than the regular season after entering the playoffs, and the Suns have almost booked a place in the Western Conference finals.

   Judging from the strength and equipment of the players of the two teams, the Jazz are indeed one grade behind, and it is not surprising that they were eliminated. "

  Su Qun smiled and said, "Judging from these two games, the postman doesn't seem to be on the same level as Old K. Coach Zhang, what do you think?"

   Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Whether it is popularity, influence, or strength, Tie Jun is now a recognized superstar. He is on the same level as the postman, only the qualifications to play are not enough, so he is a superstar, and the postman is a superstar.

But the postman is a power forward, and a giant heavy striker like the Anti-Tiejun is very difficult. You can see that the Tiejun pressed him under the basket several times today to complete dunks. ! "

   On the sidelines, the magician and Tiangou were interviewed by the media together.

   "Erwin, Kareem, what do you think of the postman's performance?" a reporter asked.

   "Karim, you come first." Magic Johnson said.

   nodded, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "Old K always defends the Postman by himself. His one-on-one defense is quite good, and the Postman is at a complete disadvantage on the offensive end.

  The postman is playing big by small, and when his elbows can't get enough space in front of old king, he doesn't have the low post technique he is good at, so he can't play a convincing performance, which is disappointing.

Of course, this is also because the Postman is not a real center. He does not have the low-position skills of a center, so this is also a problem with the Jazz lineup. After the old K destroyed the main center and the first backup center of the Jazz, the Jazz actually It's been hard to beat.

  The Jazz also has a backup center on the bench, but his strength is too poor to be able to play at all. Let him play against the old king, and he will be eaten by the old king. "

Magic Johnson continued: "The Postman himself is not a person who can hold the ball and attack, and the Jazz's tactics do not require him to have this ability. The pick-and-roll strategy and his elbow can solve the defender for him, but when the Jazz face the possession of When the Suns have a strong low-post attack ability, their weakness in low-post attack ability is highlighted.

  For example, the postman's basket attack accounted for only about 28% in the past, I think it was so much, not 30%, so how much the postman's basket attack in the G1 game, I remember only three times, which is too few.

   He strengthened his offense at the basket today, but he ate three big caps from Old K, missed one shot, and made 1 of 5 shots at the basket. With such a low post efficiency, it is impossible for the Jazz to win the Suns. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar added: "In fact, the Postman attacked not only five times at the basket tonight, but nearly ten times, but he was squeezed by the old K several times, and there were three turnovers at the basket alone. Old K stole him once at the rim, and he had 6 turnovers and lost a lot of possessions."

Nodding, Magic Johnson said: "Old K's one-on-one defense is really good. He can stabilize the postman's offense with his height under the basket, and at the same time his sending power can be used on top defense. The postman can't stand, and the hasty shot is either a mistake or a cap."

  Beside the two is Wang Tiejun who was interviewed by ESPN TV.

   "Old K, what do you think of the postman?" the reporter asked.

   "His mid-range shot is good, better than mine, but he needs more practice to attack the basket. He is not as good as me." Pharaoh laughed.

   He gave out 7 big caps tonight, and he capped 3 of the postman just under the basket. The postman was too short in front of him. As long as he held the postman's elbow, it was not too difficult to guard him with the postman's strength at the basket.

   Of course, tonight the postman struggled desperately, and his defense was very strong. He also suffered a lot of elbows, and his body was blue and purple. In return, he did not let the postman suffer less.

   "Is this left by the postman?" The reporter asked, pointing to the four bloodstains on his left forearm.

  Pharaoh took a look, and there were four bloodstains of six or seven centimeters. He nodded and smiled, "Yes, this guy has no good hygiene habits, and his nails are too long."

   He pointed to his neck and said, "There are also some here, and there should be some on the back."

   After the interview, he chatted with the magician Tiangou.

   "You know, old K, now we are VIP customers of K martial arts hall, so you have to be nicer to us, or we will complain to you." Erwin Johnson laughed sarcastically.

   "Complain to the lady at the front desk, she gave me a complaint number." Kareem laughed.

   Old Wang said with a strange expression: "Complaint number? No, K Martial Arts Hall has an external contact number, but there is no such thing."

   "How is that possible?" Kareem's eyes widened.

   "So, Tiangou, you probably fell in love with her." Old Wang laughed.

   Magic Johnson also laughed and said: "I think so too, that girl always smiles at Kareem, but she is very serious to me."

  Jabbar shrugged and smiled: "That's not bad, you can try it, I'm only 48 years old and still very young."

   The three chatted for a while, when Lightning came over.

   Back in the locker room, Pharaoh and the others began to take a medicinal bath. Head coach Westphal made a summary of the game outside. After ten minutes, the result of another game came out.

  Assistant coach Lewis said: "The Spurs won, Mosaic's perimeter was blown up, and they tied. This is good news for us. I hope they can score in the tiebreaker."

"Ha ha…"

   There was a burst of laughter in the Suns locker room.

  On the 11th, many media commented on the two games last night.

As for the Suns and the Jazz, the mainstream media has consistently favored the former, basically agreeing that the latter will be eliminated within the next three games, and it is not bad to be able to pull back one game at home. The series is most likely to be At the end of the G5 battle.

   Of course, these media did not ignore the possibility of the Suns sweeping the Jazz, but only considered the home field factor and believed that it was most likely to eliminate the Jazz 4-1.

   For the Spurs and Mosaic, most media believe that the two teams will have a tug-of-war series, because the strengths are too close, and each has its own advantages. Whoever plays well will win.

ESPN gave its official view: "Whether the Spurs or the Mosaic reach the Western Conference Finals, if there is no way to resolve the battle within six games, they will be in a disadvantageous situation in the Western Conference Finals, and the Suns will be in a position to sit back and relax. It's like the Bulls in the '94 Finals."

   At noon that day, Zhang Heli and the others came over for dinner, saying that they were going to Salt Lake City in the afternoon.

   "Tie Jun, are your medicated baths and medicated oils expensive? I talked to Lightning and Barkley, and they all felt pretty good." At the dinner table, Lao Zhang asked.

   "You want to use it? No problem, it's not high, I'll give you a discount." Lao Wang smiled.

   "10% off? You can make a profit!"

  Old Zhang smiled and said, "I have some old wounds on my body, but I don't use them mainly. I just want to ask, can you develop this thing in China?"

   Old Wang was startled, nodded and said, "These two drugs are aimed at the high-end market, and it is currently impossible to promote them on a large scale in China..."

   He saw Lao Zhang's somewhat disappointed expression and said with a smile, "I know what you mean, Brother Zhang. Well, I can supply it specifically and not sell it to the outside world."

   "That's it."

   Zhang Lili was happy, but after thinking about it, he said regretfully: "But even if you are willing to give a discount, it will add up to five hundred dollars at a time, and none of the domestic athletes can afford it."

   Having said this, he added with a wry smile: "I can't use it either."

  Pharaoh raised his finger and did the math. It seems to be true. It would cost 500 US dollars a day for a discount. With the current wages of domestic athletes, let alone every day, one day cannot afford it.

   Yu Feihong said in surprise, "Okay, old K, how did you come up with such a high price? Chinese herbal medicines in China are not expensive, right?"

   "What's wrong with my brain? My brain is very good. You can see from my two sisters. In the future, we will have two scientists in our family. Can I be stupid?" Lao Wang shouted.

   "Puff!"

   Yu Feihong and Lao Zhang laughed at the same time.

   "What are you laughing at?" Old Wang said unhappily.

   Yu Feihong said with joy: "You are too embarrassed to compare your brains with Sister Da Ya and the others? God is fair, they chose wisdom, and you chose body."

  “…”

  Pharaoh is speechless, you are deliberately belittling my IQ.

   "Haha..." Lao Zhang and the others laughed.

After the joke, Lao Wang said: "The medicines I use now are all purchased here, and the prices are very expensive. Most of the medicinal materials are imported from China. It should be much cheaper to produce domestically in the future. It depends on the domestic consumption level.”

   Lao Zhang nodded, of course this is the best.

This time, he went back and planned to take the opportunity of the booming domestic basketball atmosphere to hold a basketball summer camp across the country to see if he could find a few talents. He also planned to take advantage of the popularity of Pharaoh. Well, it is Pharaoh's Fengshen Street.

   But the cost, hehe, he smiled and said: "Tie Jun, I'm going to start a basketball summer camp in China, but the cost is short, can you be funny?"

   Old Wang couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a good thing, Brother Zhang, you can do it, just put it on Fengshen Street and do it in my name, and I will be responsible for the cost."

   "That's great! I'll lend you this tiger skin." Zhang Lili said happily.
