Chapter 401 Old K, Sprayer, King of Reinforcement, Lightning, Basic Attack

   At eight o'clock, the home team's locker room, Danny Ainge is announcing the starting roster.

   Wilkins was injured, and it was still a big problem for the Suns. Two of the three shooting guards were injured. There was only one Kobe Bryant left at the No. 2 position, and there were no substitutes.

   In addition, Horry at No. 3 also has no first substitute, and can only be substituted by a marginal person.

   "Old K, Troll, King Jialian, Little Blacksmith, Lightning." Danny Anji read out the starting list.

"Hahaha…"

   The dressing room was already full of laughter, and Danny Angie, who had finished reading the list, also laughed.

  Rasheed Wallace looked like he had stepped on dog shit, and his face stinks.

  Horry's face is indifferent, the king of training, who else is it? I practice, I am honored.

   "What's wrong with blacksmithing, isn't it also a profession?"

  The rookie Kobe's face is also a little stinky, and he vowed to improve his efficiency, and he must upgrade the small blacksmith to the big blacksmith in the future.

"Ugh!"

   Kidd is a little sad, the little blacksmith has all started, when will he be able to rush out of the bench?

However, he has begun to integrate into the Suns. From the beginning of the new season, he began to follow the Lightning to learn the skills of the point guard. The Lightning is known as the devil point guard. He can compete with the Magician at his peak, and Jordan cannot really suppress on the defensive end. He, has a lot to learn, and Lightning is willing to teach him.

   At half past eight, the game started.

Tim Hardaway's second contract with the Warriors expired. The Warriors got Divac from the Lakers. The lineup is already very strong. Of course, I want to keep Hardaway, but unfortunately there is not enough space, and the contract opened is a bit small. Then Hardaway chose to join the Heat.

   His 5-year contract with the Heat is 30 million yuan, and the last year is 12 million yuan, which is much lower in the first four years because of the need to match the team space.

  The Heat got Hardaway, and with Mourning one inside and one outside, they formed a dual-core inside and outside, and they carried the Heat. They are still in the process of running in. They have 8 wins and 4 losses in the first 12 games.

   The two teams played three quarters and tied at 80.

   Injuries led to insufficient rotation and the thickness of the bench lineup was greatly reduced, leaving only a few marginal players with little strength, which had a great impact on the Suns.

   In the main lineup, the No. 2 Kobe Bryant is too bad, and he can't afford this main scoring position, so injuries have a great impact on the main lineup.

   The last quarter started, and the Suns attacked.

  Wang Tiejun wanted the ball in the low post on the left wing. The Heat's main center, PG Brown, neither defended nor went around, but was a tangled stalker.

Brown and Lao Wang are considered the same year's show, the No. 2 show in the second round, the shoe height is 211 cm, plus the wingspan, there is a gap of at least 20 cm in height, this height cannot be bypassed, and his tonnage is only 110 kg, the same thin bamboo pole, Can't even defend.

   He played at the power forward and center positions. The main position was actually the 4th position. There was no way to fight Lao K at the 5th position. The Heat had no one else.

  Mourning's shoe height is only 208 cm, while the old K's shoe is 219 cm high. Now his tonnage is only 119 cm. He can't defend against the old K at all, and he can't stand it. The effect of assisting defense is better.

When    Lightning passed the ball, Mourning desperately came from the right wing to help defend, but Rasheed Wallace pulled to the three-point line, so his help defense was too far away to complete the double-team in advance.

  The ball fell into the hands of Pharaoh, and PG Brown skillfully used a wretched secret hand and took a handful from below.

   "Damn wretched man!"

   This one made Pharaoh's eyes widen instantly, and his body couldn't help froze.

  The wretched man Brown took this opportunity, grabbed his upper body, put a stick on Pharaoh's body, and stabbed the ball on the latter's right hand with his left hand.

   Pharaoh instinctively gave up his right hand, let go of Brown's poking action, and turned around to get into the paint area, but at this moment, Mourning's help arrived.

   "Squeak!"

   Fortunately, Xiongbu was really good. He braked suddenly and did not hit Mourning, but he was already double-teamed.

"here."

  The sound of the sprayer sounded under the basket. It turned out that he had followed Mourning into the paint area.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh made a ground pass and passed the ball from Mourning into the paint.

"boom!"

   The spray catches the ball and completes a two-handed dunk.

   "Oh, why didn't I just cut in?"

   Seeing that the sprayer made a back cut, Kobe Bryant outside reacted and found that his awareness of the cut was not enough, and he couldn't grasp the timing.

  Heat offense.

  Pharaoh Fang got behind Mourning, and it was always like this tonight. He had three hats for Mourning in the first three quarters, which was very enjoyable.

  Morning made 3 of 12 shots in the first three quarters, and was completely defeated by the old K. Compared with Kobe, he was already very skilled in the iron, and now he is on the top of his blood, regardless of the old K behind, and asked for the ball again.

  The little bug Hardaway was very generous and passed the ball in.

  Morning received the ball and threw it twice. Not only did he not move Pharaoh, but he was pushed forward by Pharaoh, further away from the basket.

  Pat Riley shook his head, Mourning didn't have such difficulty playing the three super centers, but he couldn't touch Old K and O'Neal.

"Snapped!"

  Mourning turned around and made a strong throw, Pharaoh blocked the ball with both hands and grabbed the ball directly.

   Amid the cheers of the crowd, the Suns moved forward steadily, not playing fast breaks, but still playing positional warfare.

  Pharaoh came to the low position on the left wing again. This time, when Lightning passed the ball down, Mourning still took the help of defense and directly lost Rasheed Wallace.

   But this time, instead of slipping, Pharaoh turned around, not only smashing Brown, but also avoiding Mourning who was defending from the bottom line.

"boom!"

  Brown was chasing, blocking the cover from the side, and was knocked out of the air by Pharaoh, and the Heat's basket was also blown up.

"yeah!"

   The audience burst into cheers.

   "PG Brown is injured, what should the Heat do now?" a live commentator asked excitedly.

   "In old K's words, cold salad." The partner laughed.

  Pat Riley replaced the injured Brown and replaced a backup center Austin.

   This is a meat shield-type center with a height of 208 cm and a weight of 130 kg. The original tonnage was not so large, but it was later remodeled.

In the past few years, due to the reasons of Pharaoh and O'Neal, each team has been forced to build their own meat shields. Many meat shields will not work after a few seasons, so they have withdrawn from the league, and new meat shields have been added continuously. Two people can also be regarded as adding a lot of high-paying employment opportunities to the United States.

   However, such a meat shield is destined to be unable to prevent old K.

  Three minutes later, Lightning made a breakthrough with the ball, and then distributed the ball to Pharaoh. Pharaoh turned around, smashed Austin, entered the paint area, and flew towards Mourning, who was returning to the defense.

  Morning's discoloration changed, a 135kg beast full of explosive power, with a tyrannical jumping-style flying to attack the basket, can he stop it?

   No matter how hard he is, there is no such thing as a head iron, O'Neal would not dare to guard this ball from Lao K, let alone him?

"boom!"

   When he stepped aside, the basket above his head was blown up, and Lao K's huge body swayed past his eyes, and the wind whistled, making him feel a huge pressure.

   "Ow!"

  Mexican Arena, the audience exploded instantly.

  In the end, Wang Tiejun took over the offense at the end of the quarter, output frantically, and relied on his extremely strong combat power to overwhelm Tiehan Mourning. He still won the game at home and won the 12th consecutive victory.

   In 46 minutes, he made 17 of 27 shots, 63% from the field, 9 of 14 penalties, 64% from the field, scored 43 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 3 turnovers and 2 fouls.

   Today's game was called an illegal shoulder violation, which is also the first time he violated this rule.

   But he gave Mourning 5 big caps today, two big caps at the end, the caps got blood from the same year Xiuyi's face, the two also got angry, and there was a little conflict on the field.

Kobe played 38 minutes, made 6 of 15 shots, 40% from the field, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 28.5% of 3-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls The data.

   Lightning played well today, scoring 21 points and 12 assists, showing a peak performance.

   This season, he started shooting three-pointers, averaging three three-pointers per game, because he is one year older and adding some outside shots can effectively delay his career.

   The same goes for the inside post. The older you get, the farther away you are from the rim, because there will be less defensive pressure to face.

He couldn't make three-pointers in the past. In order to make changes in the offseason, he specially trained three-pointers. The effect is not bad. The three-point shooting rate can reach 44%, ranking first in the team. This shows that someone like him is not good at three-pointers. Outside, in the past, it was just because I didn't pay enough attention to it, it wasn't that I couldn't practice it.

   lost the game, Pat Riley couldn't help sighing in his heart, the Suns injured two generals in a row, and the Heat still couldn't beat him, which made him very disappointed.

  Morning's height and tonnage are really flawed. The defensive end can't stand it, he can't carry it, and the offensive end often eats old K's big hat.

Today, Mourning played against the old K. He was blocked on 4 of 17 shots, and the shooting rate was only 23.5%. This efficiency is lower than the rookie Kobe of the Suns. For a center, this is a shameful efficiency. No wonder He was disappointed.

  …

   No. 25, China, Liu Yumin contacted the Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team.

  Although she is a higher-level department in charge, there are local interests, and many things need to be communicated. You cannot simply use executive orders to solve problems.

She first analyzed the pros and cons of Hu Weidong going to play in the NBA. Simply put, it was good for the national team and bad for the Jiangsu men's basketball team. Then she explained what Wang Tiejun meant and gave the choice to the Jiangsu men. basket.

  Jiangsu*Su men's basketball team is very difficult to do. Promise, they have been trained for many years, and the most capable generals are simply gone.

  Reject it, that is to ignore the overall situation and cut off the future.

   This year, the men's basketball team won the Olympic bronze medal. Liu Yumin's status in the domestic basketball industry is booming, and he is in charge of the development of the CBA. As a local men's basketball team, whether it is from the sports committee or the CBA, they cannot escape Liu Yumin's management.

   In addition, Wang Tiejun is not easy to explain. He is the real first person in the basketball world in China, and even in terms of global influence and popularity, he is the first person in the domestic sports world.

Now the domestic basketball game is growing rapidly, and it can even be said that it is rapidly expanding. It is because of Wang Tiejun's influence. If you offend such people, unless they don't join the CBA, the consequences will be very serious. Fans scolded to death.

   And Wang Tiejun wanted someone personally, but they didn't agree, it would be really difficult to grab someone from the summer camp he ran in the future.

   In addition, Wang Tiejun wanted people, not for personal gain, but for the public.

  In the end, they could only choose to let people go.

   Liu Yumin breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed the buyout fee proposed by Wang Tiejun with the other side.

  Jiangsu*Su Men's Basketball Team thought that everyone was gone, and even a little money would not be able to recover the loss, so let's just give 50,000 yuan generously.

  Hu Weidong called Pharaoh immediately after knowing the result. It happened that it was after 10 o'clock in the evening here in the United States. Pharaoh was still awake, and he was very happy after hearing the news.

   "You do it like this, Lao Hu, I'll introduce you to a few teams for trial training. Once you get the results, you can go back to China to go through the formalities, so you don't have to mess around for nothing," he said.

  “…”

   Hu Weidong stayed there for a while, yeah, happy to be like this, he hasn't got it yet, who knows if any NBA team would like him?

   Over there, Liu Yumin took advantage of the heat and contacted Team 81.

   This time, it wasn't so easy. Team 81 refused to let people go and refused to say anything. Wang Tiejun's face was not good.

   Their 81st team can pick people from the entire army, and they are not afraid of lack of talent, and they are not uncommon to pick people from Wang Tiejun's summer camp.

   Lao Wang also quickly learned the news of Dazhi, and Liu Yumin called him to inform him.

  I have been mentally prepared, and there is no accident. As an army, it will definitely not be as easy as Hu Weidong.

  …

   Next, the Suns made persistent efforts, winning streak against the Nuggets and the Nets, No. 29, and challenged the Supersonics on the road. This was also the last regular season of the Suns in the first month.

   Skygou Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said in front of the media: "I was wrong, I thought the old K would have a sharp decline in strength because of the K-law, but the performance of him and the Suns was very surprising to me.

  Yes, in the first 14 games, the Suns' momentum was very high, even if there were consecutive injuries, it did not stop the team's progress.

   And the old K, the average time per game has increased to 40 minutes, the average shot has reached 23 times, the shooting rate is 62%, the strong data of 35 points and 17 rebounds per game, under the restriction of K law, this is really incredible performance.

   His efficiency is indeed not as good as last season. Last season, he averaged 26.5 hands per game and averaged 40 points per game, but such performance is still extremely scary.

At the same time, in addition to offense, he still has plenty of stamina to make all-round contributions to the team in other areas, rebounding, defending, coping with points, direct assists, even launching and participating in fast breaks, etc. He is omnipotent. , yes, everything is possible.

   Actually, what I want to say is that if there is no K-law, he should be more scary this season than last season. "

  …

   At 8:00, Seattle, the SuperSonics home, the visiting team's locker room, Danny Ainge informed the team of the latest injury report given by the team doctor.

  Chapman left the injured list, returned to the 12-man team, and played as a substitute in this game.

   "Old K, Troll, King Garen... Lightning, Kidd."

But in the subsequent announcement of the starting list, Kobe, who had played a few main games, was removed from the starting lineup, and Kidd entered the starting lineup, which surprised everyone, including Kobe who was removed from the starting lineup, and who entered the starting list. Kidd.

   "Double control with Lightning, be careful not to throw waves."

  Danny Ainge has nothing to do. Kobe's efficiency is not enough, and his defense is still a little weak. He can't take the responsibility of the second position. He can only let Kidd start.

  Pharaoh reacted and said, "Jason, only one of the five has no nickname. Can I give you one?"

"Oh well."

   Kidd wanted to refuse, but everyone had nicknames. If he didn't, he might be rejected, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

   "Well, if you like wave throwing, then I will give you two choices, wave throwing king, or base not attacking, you choose one." Lao Wang smiled.

   "Haha..." The locker room burst into laughter immediately, only Kidd had a bitter face, what the **** is this **** nickname?

He tried to struggle and said: "Actually, I also practiced extra three-pointers during the offseason, and I have been practicing more. This season, my three-pointers are much more accurate than last season, with a 39% shooting rate, but unfortunately the team does not Let me vote."

   "Jason, you actually want to steal my nickname?" Horry said in surprise.

   "Haha..." Everyone laughed.

   Kobe muttered: "Jason, you should choose not to attack, give me the opportunity to attack, I can also be the king of waves, I don't mind."

   "Puff!"

Horry next to    laughed instantly.

   "You do have self-knowledge. Blacksmith + Langtou Wang, two titles, can they bring you dual attributes?" Old Wang said angrily.

   Kobe became angry and glared at Pharaoh.

   "Haha..." The dressing room burst into laughter again.

   Little Colangelo asked after laughing: "Danny, what about the outside attack?"

   Danny Ainge said: "The Lightning is in a good state now. The ball control and combination are mainly left to Kibuk, and the outside attack is completed by him and Horry."

Little Colangelo couldn't help but nodded. The Lightning actually averaged 20+10 All-Star data this season, and there was no injury. In the offseason, he maintained a good state through additional training, and he practiced all three-pointers. Well, his two-year, $15 million contract to the Lightning is so worth it.

   If the Lightning can maintain this state, even one gear short, he is willing to give the Lightning another contract after two years.
