Chapter 358 Magic Infighting + Three consecutive games 50+

   On the second day, under the influence of Japanese media, various media in Phoenix also began to praise Wang Tiejun.

   This made the media in other places dissatisfied, and the Chicago media took the lead in fighting back.

   "The regular season is not over yet. With a lot of physical energy consumption, Old K may not be able to maintain such a strong performance until the end of the season, so excessive touts may become a joke." Chicago Sports News.

   "82 games in the regular season, only 27 games have passed. The Suns lineup is not strong, and there is no possibility of maintaining a strong lineup. If K wants to win the MVP, the probability of this season will not exceed 10%." Chicago Daily.

   "Lightning is very strong this season and can be called the peak, but he has no help on the perimeter, and the pressure is on him alone. Once injured, the Suns will collapse directly. What does old K talk about MVP?" Chicago Financial Weekly.

  The time has entered 1996. On the morning of the 1st, the league announced the ranking of last month's MVP. Wang Tiejun ranked first for two consecutive months, and Jordan was second.

   At the same time, on this day, the official also announced that the 1996 All-Star voting was officially opened.

  The Suns continue to rest at home, waiting for the No. 4 home game.

   On the second day, the Mosaic team defeated the Timberwolves on the road and rushed to Chicago overnight. On the third day, the Bulls played back-to-back road games.

  Pharaoh watched the game. Although the Big Three are injured now, he never dared to underestimate them. Once they enter the playoffs, these three old guys will definitely become three tigers.

   However, bad luck, in this night's game, the Mosaic team had another injury, and it was one of the Big Three.

  During a rebound, the glider Drexler was kicked over by Rodman in the air, and fell to the floor from the air, injuring his waist and lying down on the spot.

   "Asshole, don't stop me!"

  The grumpy Barkley was about to have a seizure on the spot and was stopped by Jordan.

   "Fark oil, go to hell!"

   However, the big dream on the bench rushed into the field, rushed into the field angrily and punched Rodman, then was pulled away by several people, and then was sent off by the referee.

   "You guys did it on purpose, you did it, it's shameful! Michael, you deserve to be beaten twice by old K, and you'll be killed by him..."

  Dameng was full of grief and anger, and while protecting Drexler's stretcher out of the field, he yelled at Jordan, and was a little incoherent under the excitement.

He pointed to Barkley and Drexler to help him win the championship. The glider looked badly hurt. This season might be over and he was in a bad mood. He had the heart to kill a big bug. .

  Jordan turned pale with anger, **** old hooligan, how did you talk, am I that kind of person?

  Out of concern, Pharaoh contacted the glider, sent a text message, and the glider called after ten minutes.

   "How's it going, Clyde?" he asked when he got on the phone.

Drexler sighed: "Oh, it's unfortunate, my body is actually quite healthy this year, well maintained, and there have been no major injuries, but accidents always come unexpectedly, this time is really too bad. shit!"

   "It's all to blame for that **** Rodman, is he the one who grabs the rebounds like him?" A roar from the big dream sounded next to him.

   "Where is the injury?" Pharaoh asked.

   "His waist hurt." Drexler said in frustration.

   "Old K, your medicated oil massage is unreliable, you spent so much money, isn't it hurt?" Big Meng shouted again in dissatisfaction.

   Lao Wang immediately scolded: "Da Meng, are you out of your mind? It's not my medicated oil massage, maybe it will hurt even more this time.

   No matter how strong the ability to resist injury and disease is, it is not the same as not getting injured. Don't you understand? "

   "Okay, Hakim, this time it's just an accident. Injury is inevitable in the game."

   Drexler is in a better mood than Da Meng. After all, he already has a ring and a big contract, so he has nothing to worry about.

  Da Meng was at a loss for words, and stopped talking in frustration.

Everyone understands that the effect of medicated oil massage is there, but no matter how strong the medicinal effect is, it will only enhance some ability to resist injuries and diseases, make the body healthier, and maintain the body better, not to save you from Injuried.

   "Clyde, if you don't need surgery, come to my martial arts hall and find an acupuncturist to help you recover. It's very effective." Finally, Pharaoh said.

   "Don't worry, I will, I have tried acupuncture and it is really effective for this kind of injury." Drexler laughed.

  …

   bang bang bang…

  Squeaky…

  Suns training base, a group of players are training with sweat.

   With Wang Tiejun taking the lead, even veteran Wilkins dared not train hard.

   Of course, the training intensity of a veteran like him must be reduced, but his attitude is very serious.

   In the first half, Wang Tiejun was playing Ben Wallace in the low post on the left wing.

  Ben Wallace was behind him, leaning over his body, pressing his chest hard against Wang Tiejun's back waist, his head, and his back, only to bite with his mouth.

   The height difference between the two is too big, and the size difference is also very big, just like an adult beating a child, it looks very funny.

   "Press hard, Ben, hard..."

   Old Wang shouted loudly, and then suddenly turned around and slipped to the bottom. While he was holding the ball and entering the paint area, Big Ben, who was dying, rushed out and stuck on the floor. His nose was bleeding, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

"Ha ha…"

   The trainers and staff who were watching the lively around laughed.

   Big Ben got up embarrassedly, and was greeted by Wang Tiejun's scolding.

"Ben, you idiot, use your brain when defending. Before the attacker unloads the force, there must be preparations, and there must be a harbinger, such as moving your feet, such as the first force to push you away, you must pay attention to these small movements, Learn to predict the opponent's attack... Think about it, what did I do before I turned around?"

   Big Ben blinked, wiped his nosebleed, and said, "Boss, your left elbow hit me first."

   "Do you know why you weren't prepared? You are like a stupid donkey, do you think there is a swimming pool in front of you, or is there a beautiful woman waiting for you?" Pharaoh scolded again.

   Big Ben was scolded bloody, but he got used to it and said blankly, "Boss, do it again."

   "Go and clean your blood first." Old Wang roared.

When he was teaching people, he really didn't have a good temper. If the person who learned was smart, it would be fine, but if someone as stupid as Daben couldn't teach them all the time, his patience would soon run out. As far as this is concerned, He really isn't a qualified guide.

   When I was teaching Kobe, that kid was pretty smart, but he also scolded him a lot. Big Ben is scolded by him every day now.

  Fortunately, I have a kind and honest character, and I am hardworking and determined. As long as I have the opportunity to learn skills, no matter how much I scold him, he will not hear it.

   On the 4th, the Suns at home against the rotten Timberwolves.

   This is the second game between the two teams, and the second home game, with two away games behind.

   In addition, Robert Horry returned in this game as a substitute.

   In this game, Garnett was still on the bench, which was worse than the previous game. After 23 minutes, he also made one of four shots, no free throws, and only got 2 points and 6 rebounds.

  Pharaoh is not polite to the rookie. Although there is no matchup, he also gave Garnett a big hat in the assist defense.

He only played 32 minutes in this game and went down. At this time, the Suns were almost 20 points ahead. He only got 31 points and 14 rebounds. Scored.

With the Suns' lineup, there is absolutely no need to score points. In the second half after the All-Star team, after the teammates' physical strength was exhausted, the lineup rotation increased. Since he wants to impact the record, he must stand up and carry the team alone. Go forward, there are opportunities to brush points at that time.

  After playing the Timberwolves, the Suns rushed to Los Angeles overnight, and there is a back-to-back game waiting for them tomorrow.

In back-to-back, facing the Clippers, the Suns' receptors were limited and their teammates were not in a good state. Wang Tiejun played 46 minutes and scored 43 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, almost hitting a triple-double before leading the team to win this. game.

   Since losing to Mosaic on December 19 last year, the Suns have played a half-month winning streak, and now they have won 8 consecutive victories.

   is currently 26 wins and 3 losses, the same as the Bulls, tied for first place.

After playing the Clippers, the next game is on the 9th. It will be against the Clippers at home. There are no games for several days in between. The Suns have a holiday the next day and are disbanded in place. The players can play in Los Angeles for a day, and meet in Phoenix on the afternoon of the 7th .

  Wang Tiejun stayed in Los Angeles, and lived a two-person world with Yu Feihong.

   On the 9th, the Suns suffered an injury. In the game with the Clippers, Lightning Kevin Johnson injured his wrist and will be out for at least half a month.

   This news is not very friendly to Wang Tiejun, but the injury is something that can't be helped. When he comes, he can only deal with it passively. From this day on, he will completely carry the team on his shoulders and rush forward.

In the main lineup, the two rookies, Ben Wallace and Michael Finley, are useless now. The backup point guard Perry is also very weak. strong contribution.

   is a substitute lineup. Because of Wilkins, there is no problem. Now that the strength of the main lineup is weakened, the substitute lineup can fill a hole for the main lineup.

As for Horry, after coming back from No. 4, he has been on the bench. Although Ben Wallace's performance is not very good, he has a stable rebound, averaging 8.5 per game, and the effect of the defensive end is not bad. Being able to defend, also showed a certain ability to assist in defense, so the coaching staff has not adjusted the main lineup for the time being.

   And Horry stays on the bench, and with Wilkins, can make the Suns' bench better and even fill the hole for the main lineup.

   However, the main lineup can only be carried by Wang Tiejun. Both offensive and defensive ends, the most important rebounding, plus some organizational functions, are all under the control.

   In the next three games, for the record, Wang Tiejun broke out with all his strength. With his efforts, he won the Warriors, Mavericks and Cavaliers in a row, and got a record of 30 wins and 3 losses.

In these three games, his average playing time reached 45 minutes, and when he only rested for two or three minutes per game, he scored 51 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 54 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists, and 57 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists. data.

   None of these three teams has a strong inside line, and he completely dominates the low post.

   But even with such a terrifying individual performance, the Suns had a very difficult victory, and it was a narrow victory against the Cavaliers, only winning by two points.

   But three consecutive 50+ games really made him stand out.

Previously, in the history of the NBA, the regular season also had a record of 50+ consecutive games. Several stars such as Rick Barry had two consecutive 50+ games, Jordan had three consecutive 50+ games in 1987, and Chamberlain had seven consecutive 50+ games. +, now Wang Tiejun equals Jordan's second record.

But he has scored 40+ 5 times before. In only 33 games this season, he hit 50+ 7 times. This performance completely shocked the United States. The league called for the introduction of restrictive rules. Suddenly more.

   However, many media are speculating that Wang Tiejun's consecutive 50+ tour can last a few games. Most of the media believe that it may be interrupted next time, because old K will encounter another behemoth.

In an interview with the media in Los Angeles, Magic Johnson talked about Pharaoh's recent performance, he said: "Now Old K is consuming a lot of precious physical reserves, which is not good news for the Suns' prospects in the playoffs, I think He can take it properly and wait for Lightning to return. Of course, I know what he wants, and I understand what he does.

  I think his current situation is somewhat similar to that of Jordan back then, waiting for the rebuilding of the team to be completed and for the growth of his teammates.

   This situation is the same as what he said himself, the Suns should now be the time to hide in the bottom, and he should accumulate strength, not this reckless bloom. "

   Regarding the media’s doubts, the Suns president and former general manager Colangelo Sr. accepted an interview with The New York Times in New York.

"Mr. Colangelo, the media generally believe that the strength of the Suns this season is not enough to hit the championship, so in the case of lightning injury, do you agree with the desperate outbreak of old K? Is this an overdraft for the Suns? , damages the interests of the Suns, and is also an overdraft to his own body?" the reporter asked.

As for the team's current situation, Colangelo, as the team's president, has a clearer understanding. The team's goal in the next few seasons is to complete the reconstruction and the championship at the same time. Old K is just doing it early in the morning. This is what he promised to do. Even if he doesn't agree with Old K's desperate outbreak, he can't stop it.

And this kind of outbreak of old K, 50+ in three consecutive games, and 7 times of 50+ in the season. His crazy performance this season is like a catalyst, which directly caused the Suns' market to skyrocket. As a boss, he is very Glad that this happened.

   Of course, what the reporter said also makes sense. When the team's strength is not complete, if the team breaks out desperately, the consumption of old K will definitely be greater, and this is the regular season, so there is no need to fight like that.

   But old K wants to win the MVP, he wants to fight, then no one can stop him, including him, and he can only support.

Facing the reporter's question, he smiled and said: "So far, old K has not had any injuries that made him truce, his attendance rate is one of the best in the league, he is very healthy, and the Lightning will come back after a week's rest. , I don't think that the outbreak of this period will cause the old K to have irreversible consumption, which is impossible, I believe him."

   On January 17, 1996, the Suns will host the Orlando Magic at home.

   Previously, the Magic was 27 wins and 9 losses, with a winning rate of 75%. This record is very good.

Under the leadership of Penny Hardaway, they had a 17-5 record in the absence of O'Neal, with a winning rate of 77%. After O'Neal's comeback, he had a 10-4 record, and the winning rate in these 14 games was 71%. The overall winning percentage dropped by 6 percentage points. From this perspective, it seems that when O'Neal was there, the winning percentage was lower, and Hardaway's team performed better.

   This makes O'Neal very embarrassed. The Orlando media always asks him this question, why did the team have a worse record when you were there? Could it be that your presence affected the team?

As a result, the Orlando media began to accuse O'Neal one after another. They compared every weakness of O'Neal with the old K, and even the training was not as hard as the old K, the defense was not as hard as the old K, the offense was not as strong as the old K, etc. Almost got depression.

The media outside of Orlando are hyping the news of the infighting between O'Neal and Hardaway, because they found that when O'Neal and Hardaway were on the court, there was almost no communication, and the latter rarely passed the ball to O'Neal, which led to the dozen Game, O'Neal's data compared with last season, there is still a certain decline.

  On the afternoon of the 16th, Magic arrived in Phoenix. O'Neal went to Kwuguan to find Pharaoh and spit bitterness to him.
