Chapter 352 Popovich's Plan

   At half past eight, the game officially started.

  Wang Tiejun and David Robinson jumped the ball, the latter was really talented, even if Pharaoh's jumping was a little better, he didn't jump.

  The Spurs attacked, and Jr. Avery Johnson broke through with the ball.

   He is a little older than his counterpart, Lightning Kevin Johnson. He is almost 31 years old, and his style is similar. He has no three points, is fast, and is good at breaking through.

   But the Lightning was a top point guard at his peak, and he was just an ordinary main player.

   However, he is similar to Lightning, that is, the state of the two seems to be repeated.

The Lightning seemed to be a little out of luck last season, but this season so far, he has actually played at a level of 15+10. If it weren't for the old K who was the core of the team and occupied the most shots, he only needed a few more shots. Maybe they can play 20+10 data.

   Of course, the biggest factor behind the Lightning's current assists in double figures is that there is a monster in the low post.

As for Jr. Johnson, he now has a stat of 13+9, which is his best statistic. That is to say, now is his peak. His skills and experience, as well as the organization and sorting out of the offense, have all arrived. The real peak.

"boom!"

   The false shot was really sudden. After he shook the lightning, he shot in from the right elbow between the dribbles.

   Fortunately, the Spurs power forward has no shooting ability, and Horry was not pulled out. He came up from the low post in time to make up the defense, forcing him to score the ball to David Robinson.

  Because Pharaoh also immediately returned to defend the basket, David Robinson had a short open space at this time, and he immediately took a jumper after receiving the ball. The shot was so fast that Pharaoh was too late to return to the defense. With a swipe, he pierced the basket.

   "Three meters away from the basket is almost two points. A super-technical center like the Admiral, if he gets an open position in this position, the hit rate is very high, so be careful." Zhang He explained.

  Sun attack.

  The left wing is low, Wang Tiejun observed the position of Kevin Johnson outside, and suddenly started, bypassed David Robinson, and ran to the basket along the baseline.

  David Robinson reacted very quickly, and immediately followed in, changing the top defense to the front.

   But at this moment, Wang Tiejun, who had just reached the basket, suddenly made a counter-run. At the same time, his left elbow was stuck outside, blocking David Robinson, who wanted to follow.

   In the next instant, Lightning jumped up suddenly, threw the ball with both hands, and threw the ball from the top of General Johnson's head.

"Snapped!"

   One meter away from the basket, just outside the reasonable collision zone, Wang Tiejun grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand.

At this time, David Robinson came up from behind. He immediately hit the iron mountain, which bumped his center of gravity. Then he didn't apply any more hits. Instead, he took advantage of the loosening of the opponent's center of gravity. The opponent was a one-arm dunk.

"boom!"

   With the loud explosion of the basket, the Spurs' basket suddenly turned over, and super center Admiral David Robinson fell to the basket.

   "Di!"

   At the same time, the referee's whistle rang.

"Oh!"

  The Spurs burst into uncontrollable exclamations at home.

"damn it!"

  David Robinson lay on the floor, gasping for breath. He felt as if he had been hit by a rhino and couldn't hold it at all.

   "This guy, he must be doing strength training in the offseason!"

   He feels that the current old K is more terrifying than last season. Although the explosive power is not as good as O'Neal, the explosive power should be stronger than last season.

   "Admiral, it's time for you to gain weight and study like O'Neal."

  Pharaoh threw a trash talk, went to celebrate with his teammates, and then walked to the free throw line. Just now, David Robinson failed to take off to defend and was sentenced to a blocking foul.

  Suqun roared excitedly: "It's so beautiful, Old K ate super center David Robinson under the basket."

   Zhang Lili explained excitedly: "Did you see that just now, Tie Jun's sudden start, cut in, and reverse run, I feel that after this set of moves, his technical moves are better than before, this is progress.

The advancement of technology and the advancement of experience are very important advancements, because the physical fitness of athletes will decline, but skills and competition experience can be continuously accumulated, which will allow athletes to continue to improve after physical fitness declines. maintain a peak period. "

  Su Qun said: "Yes, just like Jordan and Da Meng now, their physical fitness should have passed the peak period, but the overall strength is still in the peak period."

   "Yes, this is the importance of technology, and the importance of golf quotient. Otherwise, if you have a body and no brains, it will not work. Once your physical fitness comes, your strength will drop by diving." Lao Zhang said.

"brush!"

  Wang Tiejun added a penalty hit.

"boom!"

   Fake a real shot, Sean Elliott shot a three-pointer on the head of rookie Finley, was touched by Finley's fingertips, and missed.

  Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebounds and the Suns attacked.

   Right wing, Horry pulls to the bottom right corner and lies there, with Michael Finley above him.

  The left wing, the 45th position of the three-point line, is the shooting guard Wes Liposen, and the low post is Wang Tiejun.

  Lightning controlled the ball outside the top of the arc, and when it was close to the top of the arc, it suddenly passed to Person.

  Person received the ball, and the opposing Venignert was not a star, just a role player with average strength. He made a tentative move, swayed the opponent, and then shot a three-pointer.

"boom!"

  Unfortunately, although it was a little spaced, but due to its limited strength, the ball failed to hit.

   "Visri, don't mess around, give it in first."

   The roar of head coach Westphal sounded on the sidelines. For players like Posen, he would not be polite, but he needed to be strict, otherwise these players would make waves after getting the ball in pursuit of data and performance.

   At this time, David Robinson protected the backcourt rebound and the Spurs attacked.

"brush!"

  Sean Elliott made a fake shot and made a sudden jumper. After a step into the three-point line, he made a pull-up jumper and shot again, hitting a long two-pointer.

  3:4, Sun attack.

   Lightning was pressed and passed to Posen, this time Wang Tiejun directly asked for the ball below.

   What he wants is not Person who just took the ball and threw it, but Person who helps him pull away the defender and wait for his ball.

In fact, if Finley's 3-point shot is more stable, it may be more suitable to be on the wing with him, and let Posen, who has better offensive ability with the ball, go to the weak wing, which may be more reasonable, but now Finley's 3-pointer is not Unstable, only Posen and his wing can be a pure pitcher.

   This is actually a kind of suppression or influence of the behemoth center on his teammates. Because of the configuration of the lineup, other teammates must configure or change according to his needs.

   Posen has a certain ability to attack with the ball, but now he doesn't need it, so Posen can't have it. This is his suppression of Posen.

   So, speaking from Posen's point of view, this is actually not a good thing, it suppresses his growth.

  From another point of view, his talent is average, as a pitcher, it seems easier to get a contract.

  Person is in his second season. Knowing that his shot just now made the head coach and old K unhappy, he quickly passed it in.

   At this time, the Spurs small forward Sean Elliott, who was facing Finley on the right wing, had jumped into the paint area from the outside and implemented a low post defense, and Finley was emptied.

In the left line of the paint area, David Robinson left half a step of space, and did not use his chest to push Wang Tiejun. He was hit hard just now. He knew that if he faced such strong confrontation a few more times, he might be hit with a high probability. Injury, he didn't want to be broken by old K like the postman.

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun received the ball smoothly. His vision was broad. Of course, he saw Sean Elliott's double team coming, but he didn't pass it to Finley. Instead, he dribbled the ball once. And go.

   only took one step in, and Sean Elliott, who had double-teamed from the weak side through the right elbow, had already slammed into Robinson's upper side and hit his ball with a big hand.

At this moment, when the ball was pulled up from the floor, he pinched the ball with five fingers, then turned around suddenly, avoiding Sean Elliott's steal, and dribbled the ball once, Switch to the left hand to control the ball, turn the right elbow and slide the bottom while the outer top is stuck, when the turn is completed, the left foot lands, and the right foot touches the ground in the paint area...

  David Robinson reacted very quickly, and immediately took a step laterally to block the old K's bottom line first.

   But he knew Old K too well, and knew that Old K's relying on hits was so powerful that he might even break his ribs, so when he moved, his arms were already crossed in front of his chest, and he was ready to be hit.

  Yes, he's going to make an offensive foul on Old K, as long as he moves into position first and grabs a defensive position, he can.

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun's right foot approached him, and under the bear step, he instantly completed the exertion action, the movement turned into a hit, and Tieshan's hit burst instantly.

   "It's just this power, I always can't learn it."

  Philadelphia, Kobe cried when he saw this.

"So fast?"

   At the home of the Spurs, David Robinson, who was traversing, had no resistance. He rose in response and was uprooted by a huge and explosive force.

"what?"

   Sean Elliott, who failed to steal, was shocked to see Robinson, the boss in front of him, being directly knocked into the air.

   "Squeak!"

  David Robinson fell to the floor, but he reacted too quickly. The moment his buttocks landed, his hands and feet slammed, and his body slipped backwards, venting the force of the fall.

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun's huge body enveloped him from the air.

"boom!"

   With the loud explosion of the basket, he stared dumbly at Old K, who had his legs crossed and swayed over his head, heartbroken.

  Yes, **** old K flew over his head.

The Spurs' home court is dead silent. The game has just started. The star and super center Admiral David Robinson was knocked over first, and now he was knocked over by K, and was humiliated by the crotch. All Spurs fans closed in pain. eyes.

   "Beautiful! 5:4, the Suns are ahead." Su Qun exclaimed excitedly.

   "Tie Jun must be careful, David Robinson's actions just now should be aimed at making offensive fouls and protect himself." Zhang Lili reminded.

  On ESPN's live broadcast booth, commentator Winston Rollins said: "Now K's technical movements are more and more consistent, which makes his offense smoother and harder to defend."

   Partner Carter Oldman nodded and said, "Although Robinson was knocked out, he is very experienced and protected in a timely manner, and he was not injured."

  Philadelphia, Kobe didn't stare at the TV anymore, but was a little dazed. He was thinking about what he didn't do well, why couldn't he make the kind of rapid force that Old K had? Anyway, no matter how he practiced, he couldn't practice the kind of power that Old K had.

   "Did he hide his hand?" This thought suddenly arose in my heart.

He has been stealing from Jordan for a long time. He has to learn all Jordan's skills. Now he has learned a similar way, that is, the technical movements of turning around and making a jumper are too demanding. Now his core strength is not enough. can not do this.

   But after seeing old K's backhand attack, he really wanted to learn it. He felt that if he learned this kind of power, he would definitely increase his backhand strength.

   "I'll call him later, this old guy must be hiding something."

   He thought with a bit of resentment, my master called me, and my father recognized it. If you don't teach me my true skills, I will never finish with you.

At the Spurs home, David Robinson was substituted. It wasn't because he was injured. He protected himself well just now because he was humiliated. Coach Bob Hill was worried that his psychology would be hit, so he was replaced. Let him adjust first.

On the sidelines, on the Spurs bench, General Manager Popovich looked blankly at Wang Tiejun on the field, and made a decision in his heart that he must push the league to introduce rules to restrict this beast as soon as possible, otherwise the Spurs would not have at all. The possibility of killing the west.

   For example, Old K's sparring also involves the shoulders. As long as the use of the shoulders is strictly restricted, his slugging technique can be abolished.

  Without low post play, the old king is no longer the old king.

  David Robinson was examined by the team doctor on the bench, and it was fine, but the team doctor advised him to avoid such a strong confrontation with old K.

   At this time, Popovich's assistant Buford came over and said, "David, you were a little slower just now. Do you feel his movement speed has improved?"

   "It's a little slower. His movement speed should be a little faster, but the main reason is that his technical movements are more consistent, and his speed has not improved much." David Robinson said with a serious look.

He is the person who hates strong confrontation the most among the three super centers, and has the smallest tonnage, but he is also the most intelligent among the three. When he first encountered Wang Tiejun, he used a stalker defense. , the effect is very good.

   He was knocked over for the first time today. It was a dunk that was forced under the basket. It was hard to avoid it.

   "He's getting harder and harder to deal with."

Bob Hill sighed and said dissatisfiedly: "The league should have introduced restrictive rules, but they didn't, and they also created some reasonable collision zone to make him more reckless at the basket, it's really too much. ."

   "The illegal hand rule also has a positive side to him. You can't push him with your elbows and hands, you can't pull the attackers, and it's even harder to defend." David Robinson said.

   "The management should do something and strongly push for the introduction of the K-law. As long as most team owners agree, Stern has no way to stop it." Bob Hill shook his head and sighed.

Buford, who was standing on the side, listened to his ears, thought for a while, came to Popovich's side, squatted down, and whispered: "Greg, old K not only destroyed the balance of the league, but also won two championships in three years. The climate has become, and it is very likely that an era that belongs to him will really be played.

  The Suns still had four first-round picks in 1996. Once the reconstruction is completed and the rookies grow up, the Suns will surely dominate the league and will be difficult to contain.

   Whether it is the Suns or the old K, the threat is too great. We need to push the league to introduce rules to restrict the old K. What do you think? "

  Popovich glanced at his assistant, who he brought from the Warriors, very trusting, and one of his team.

He said blankly: "RC, this is for sure, the beast has to be put on shackles, Jordan didn't even have a championship back then, the league introduced the Jordan Law, and now the old K is no exception, as long as If he continues to maintain such destructive power, it will seriously disrupt the balance of the alliance, and someone will take action."

  Buford smiled and put forward his own suggestion: "You can contact the Mosaic team, as well as the Jazz, Bulls, Knicks, Sonics, Magic, any team that is interested in the championship will never refuse.

   Everyone joined forces to help Mr. Stern make up his mind. He always looked forward to developing the huge market in China, but there is a world of poor people. There is no market at all. We have to correct his mistakes. "

  Popovich had a smile on his face and nodded admiringly at Buford.
