Chapter 509 Restructuring of the martial arts hall

Under the frantic attack of Pharaoh, Da Meng and Duncan, who consumed too much physical energy, were unable to withstand it. The Lakers took the lead more and more. In the last five minutes, Da Meng's physical fitness couldn't hold on anymore. Unable to support himself, he fouled Pharaoh in a row. After two minutes of playing, he made six fouls, and the Blazers surrendered.

After Da Meng and Duncan came off the court, Pharaoh also came off the court in the 8th minute. He played 40.5 minutes and made 8 shots in more than 8 minutes in the final quarter, hitting 5 of them. The audience made 18 of 30 shots, and the hit rate was 60 %, 8 of 13 free throws, 61.5% shooting, scored 44 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

   When he came off the court, he was already very tired. After back-to-back games, he burst out with all his strength today, attacking, defending, rebounding, and some organizational functions, all of which had to contribute.

   Especially on the defensive end, not only have to target Duncan, but also constantly return to the basket, the physical consumption is not generally large.

   After two consecutive games, even if his physical fitness is as high as 102, it is now close to the limit, and his calf is about to cramp.

   "How do you feel?" Dai Meng asked after the game.

   "Playing against O'Neal is a lot easier than playing against old K. Playing against old K is too intense and consumes too much physical energy."

  Duncan has been sitting on the bench for half a quarter, and he seems to be out of breath when speaking.

Da Meng nodded and said: "O'Neal's confrontation ability is not as good as that of old K. Old K started by strong confrontation. In his rookie season, he played so much that O'Neal did not dare to fight against him. At that time, his tonnage was not so big. , It's normal that you can't hold him now. In addition, I think it's a little weird for Old K's confrontation today, and I'll ask him what's going on later."

Duncan also nodded and said: "I have never encountered this kind of confrontation, his top defense is like a wave, wave after wave, sometimes hard top, sometimes suddenly emptied, I can't adapt, I can't handle it at all. Hold on, be shaken by him every now and then, his grip on power is too great."

  Dameng sighed: "In the first two or three seasons, everyone thought that Old K had entered his prime, but now it seems that he has only entered his prime this season, misjudgment! And this kid hasn't had any injuries yet."

   "Hakim, I'm going to gain weight." Duncan said after thinking.

"With the existence of Old K, you really should increase your weight. Your ability to fight is too poor. You can't cross his Himalayas. When you face him, your shot stability will be seriously affected. But how much are you going to increase?" Big dream asked.

   "Let's gain weight to 125 kg first. How about you, how much are you now?" Duncan asked.

"119 kilograms, it was originally 116 kilograms. I gained weight last season when the Lakers were rotten. The weight gain plan I took from Lao K mainly increased the muscles of the lower limbs, which can strengthen the ability of the lower limbs to resist injuries." Dream laughed.

   "Isn't he a primary school student, he still understands this?" Duncan's jaw was about to drop.

   "Shhh!"

Da Meng glanced at Lao Wang and whispered: "We can play this joke with him, you're a rookie, it's very troublesome to annoy him, this guy hates people saying he is a primary school student, we all say he is now High school students."

   "What degree is this?" Duncan asked suspiciously.

   "A kind of education in China, our country does not recognize it, but old K said it has, it must exist." Da Meng explained.

   Duncan nodded and asked, "Hakim, does his weight gain plan work?"

"Absolutely easy to use. His weight gain is three kilograms at a time. It will take several months to complete, and let the body adapt to the new tonnage little by little. After gaining weight, add medicated oil massage, my current You know the condition of the lower limbs, they are still healthy." Da Meng said.

   "That, Hakim, can you get me one?" Duncan asked embarrassedly.

   "I'll talk to him about this, it should be fine for my face." Da Meng patted his chest and said.

   At this time, Pharaoh was accepting a live post-match interview from the media on the sidelines.

   "Old K, defeating the Blazers, what do you think is the greatest significance for the Lakers?" the reporter asked.

   "Prove that our team is strong enough to defeat any opponent." Wang said.

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

   "I'm surprised, under my full defense, he can still play 40% of the offensive efficiency, which is really good, worthy of the title of debut, the peak." Wang said.

   "Do you think it is possible for the Trail Blazers to beat the Lakers in the playoffs this season?" the reporter asked again.

"impossible."

   On this question, Lao Wang felt that he couldn’t be humble, and that no matter how modest he was, he would be hypocritical.

   "Why are you so sure? Do you think Duncan's performance will not improve when faced with you in the playoffs after being honed in the regular season?" the reporter asked.

"He should improve, but do you think my teammates won't improve? Do you think I am the strongest tonight? Don't forget, this is a back-to-back game, and I only scored 44 points, There is only a 60% hit rate, these data are not scientific." Lao Wang said with a smile.

  The reporter was speechless. He shot 60% and scored 44 points under the double team of Duncan and Da Meng. Do you still think it is unscientific?

   After finishing the on-site interview, Pharaoh greeted his teammates and left together.

   "Old K, I have something to ask you."

  Da Meng and the others hadn't left yet, so they followed.

   "Dameng, today was a good day. I actually scored 39 points. It's a blast! If it weren't for our bench lineup being more powerful than yours, we wouldn't be able to win against you tonight." Old Wang said.

   "It's good that you know, it's not your ability to beat us by the thickness of the lineup."

  Da Meng pointed at the veterans behind Mullin and said, "Without Chris and the others to help you, you would definitely lose to us."

   "Cut, you can also attract a few veterans to come in. I'm afraid you don't have that ability?" Lao Wang said disdainfully.

  “…”

   Big dream gas knot.

   "Tell me, do you have anything to ask me?" At the fork, Lao Wang stopped and asked.

   "Oh, I want to ask you, what happened to your confrontation today? It's weird!" Da Meng asked quickly.

   "It's just the use of power, the combination of reality and reality, plus a little use of steps, nothing weird." Old Wang said modestly.

   "That's it..."

   After thinking about it, he couldn't understand it, and asked again: "Old K, Duncan wants to ask you for help, he wants to gain weight."

   Old Wang looked at Duncan next to Da Meng, the latter's face moved, as if he smiled, but why does he look a little bit, why is this smile a bit wretched? No, no, is it Yin Dang?

   He scratched the back of his neck and already had goosebumps. He quickly and sincerely suggested: "Rookie, don't smile at me in the future, especially on the court. I'm afraid your smile will affect my state."

  The scene was quiet, and suddenly burst into laughter.

   Duncan was embarrassed, what's wrong with my smile, didn't I just want to show courtesy?

  …

   "Old K, you help Duncan gain weight, aren't you afraid that his strength will be bad for us?" Back in the locker room, Kobe couldn't help asking.

   "If I don't help, he can't find a strength trainer to help him? Do you think the Blazers can't afford a trainer, or he can't afford a trainer himself?"

After    said a sentence, Pharaoh didn't care about the tunnel: "What if his strength rises? Are you just standing still and won't make progress?"

   Kobe quickly patted his chest and said, "Old K, don't worry, I won't let you down."

   "Me too, boss," Danny Fortson yelled.

"Um."

   Looking at the two young people, Old Wang nodded in relief.

   "Tie Jun, the medicinal bath is ready." Gao Bin greeted him in the bathroom.

"Walk."

   Old Wang nodded and walked into the bathroom with Kobe and Danny Fortson.

Not only the three of them, but also three veterans, Chris Mullin, Richmond, and Mark Price. They also joined the VIP of the K martial arts hall. For the championship, they all hope to maintain a good physical condition, and do not hesitate to do so. The investment of money in the maintenance of the body.

  Lakers vs. Blazers, the media reacted immediately the next day.

  Especially ESPN, immediately updated the championship odds rankings, the Blazers fell 3% to 17%, and the Lakers rose 3% to 19%.

   Next, the Lakers continue the regular season.

   And the restructuring of K Martial Arts Hall also started under the auspices of Erya.

   first established a company called K Times Sports Culture Company.

It turned out that the K martial arts hall was owned by Lao Wang alone. Now, because he wanted the second sister to help him manage it, he gave the second sister 10% of the shares. The eldest sister also gave 5%, Yu Feihong 5%, and Dabao 5%. %, leaving 75% of the shares.

   K Wuguan, a subsidiary of the company, is responsible for the promotion of martial arts and develops it for the whole world. Of course, the first choice is North America, where Wang Tiejun is the most famous.

   has set up a K-era private membership club, responsible for the promotion of medicated baths, medicated oil massage, and medicated meals.

  For new members, the annual membership fee is US$50,000, and the former VIPs are automatically converted into members. Existing members will no longer be charged membership fees, but the membership level will be set according to the consumption level.

   The minimum annual consumption limit is set at US$200,000, and members who fall below the minimum consumption limit will automatically cancel their membership.

The higher the membership level, the corresponding discounts will be enjoyed. The club will hold parties of different levels. The higher the membership level, the higher the level of the party invited to participate, instead of the previous, as long as VIP customers can participate All parties in the martial arts hall.

In the cities where several branches are located, K-era private membership clubs are set up in commercial buildings, renting one or two floors, creating the most luxurious facilities, including a five-star standard restaurant for Members provide services.

   Then spun off the fighting hall from the K martial arts hall, and also established a professional sports fighting company, which will set foot in the fighting industry.

   Finally, set up a pharmaceutical company to launch diluted versions of medicated baths and medicated oils to develop to the world.

  Erya has set up professional management teams for several companies, including K Martial Arts Hall. Wang Tielong and their original managers are only responsible for the professional affairs of K Martial Arts Hall.

   In addition, the main hall of K Martial Arts Hall was relocated from Phoenix to Los Angeles. After the restructuring, the business of K Martial Arts Hall was also stripped down to only martial arts promotion, which was much simpler.

  Wang Tielong and others are only responsible for the management and teaching of professional martial arts classes, and the development of martial arts halls is handed over to the professional management team.

   Only Liu Changjiang has some management talent, and he entered the K-era sports culture company as Erya's assistant.

   Lao Wang was too lazy to care about these things. After the restructuring, he felt that the K martial arts hall had nothing to do with him, and they were divided into several pieces, and they were not even together.

  The management team established by the second sister, he does not know, and does not want to know, without that effort, now he is a pure major shareholder and investor.

He does not have any position in the company, the chairman and the president are his second sister, so management has nothing to do with him at all, and he cannot get involved. Company management.

   Being light-weight with nothing, he feels too relaxed, and now there is only Fengshen Street. He is still the president of the K-era Sports Center.

  …

After the    victory over the Blazers, the team did not encounter a strong team for a period of time, and achieved a wave of consecutive victories, playing until No. 22, with a record of 25 wins and 2 losses.

   The last time they lost was the 9th regular season game and was defeated by the Jazz on the road, so the Lakers have won 18 straight games.

   The longest winning streak record for the Lakers is 33 consecutive victories, created by Chamberlain, Jerry West and Goodrich in 72 years.

The league's second winning streak is the 20-game winning streak created by Big O and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the Bucks in 1971, and the third is the 18-game winning streak created by the Knicks in the 1969/70 season. At the same time, the Bulls and the Green Team also played 18 consecutive victories each. Victory record.

   So now the Lakers are tied for the third straight winning streak in league history. As long as they win one more game, they can play 19 consecutive victories, occupying the third place in history.

  On the 26th, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles to play the Clippers at home. Although they won their 19th consecutive victory, an accident occurred. Mark Price was accidentally injured on the court and needed to be sidelined for at least ten games.

   The main point guard was injured, and Fisher got more opportunities. Originally, he could only play in garbage time, and now he is the first backup at the No. 1 position.

  The main control is held by Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox enters the starting lineup, and Richmond serves as the main shooting guard.

Kobe Bryant playing point guard, the current organizational strength is still a lot worse, although the Lakers' tactics are relatively simple, everything is dominated by Wang Tiejun, but Wang Tiejun only distributes the ball when the ball is in his hands, his organizational level is only 70 Level, the distribution of the ball depends on his height and unobstructed vision, as well as his ability to pass the ball. He can see the open space of his teammates and distribute the ball in time. In fact, it really allows him to organize an offense. .

   So the general organizational work has to be done by the point guard. Kobe Bryant is still reluctant to do it temporarily, and playing the point guard for a long time is still not as good as Mark Price.

   No. 28, the Lakers host the Celtics.

The Green team lost to the Lakers at home last time. This time, they are determined to take revenge and want to regain a game. However, in order to keep the record and compete for the MVP, Wang Tiejun broke out with all his strength. He scored 55 points in a single game and led the team to defeat the Green at home. team.

   In this battle, the Lakers played their 20th straight game, tied for second place in history.

   On the 30th, the Lakers defeated the visiting King at home again, and Pharaoh once again exploded and hit 50+.

  The Lakers ended all the 1997 schedule, achieved a gorgeous record of 28 wins and 2 losses, and achieved 21 consecutive victories, also surpassing the Bucks, and the second record in the league's history of winning streaks.

   In addition, because the Knicks and the Blazers also suffered injuries and lost games one after another during this period, the Lakers also ranked first in the league record.

   The Knicks are 27 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and third in the league.

  The Blazers are 27 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference and second in the league.

  Wang Tiejun averaged 42 points, 17.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 4.3 blocks, 1.9 turnovers and 2.7 fouls per game. He shot 62% from the field, and the Lakers' record ranked first in the MVP rankings.

   His scoring average once again hit a new personal high. In the 1995/96 season, it was 40.2 points, which was 1.8 points higher, which shocked the whole league.

   But the shooting percentage is lower than the 95/96 season, when it was 65.4%, but higher than last season's 61.2%.

   The main reason for the improvement in scoring is of course the change in his style of play.

The improvement of   's pace has reduced some of the strong confrontations in his offense, and the physical energy consumption has been reduced, which not only allows more physical energy to be used in other areas, but also strengthens his personal offense.

   However, with the deepening of the team's running-in, he will also make fewer shots. One is to prepare for physical reserves for the playoffs, and the other is that his teammates cooperate better and need more shots.

Most of the media's reactions to this were praise, but some media still believed that his existence suppressed the development of his teammates for some purpose, and he would only make his teammates worse, but not make them better. better.

   These media also cited many examples, such as Kidd, Rasheed Wallace and so on.

   Kidd went to the green team, and the data immediately improved a lot.

   And he left the Suns, and Rasheed Wallace's numbers improved immediately.

  Even Ceballos, an early member of the Suns, became the Lakers' scoring leader after leaving the Suns and was selected to the All-Star team, which has also become the evidence of these media.

   They also used Richmond as evidence. The Rocks still averaged 23 points per game last season. Now, with the Lakers, they only averaged 18.5 points per game, which is obviously suppressed by Pharaoh.

  Pharaoh is too lazy to justify these media. As a yellow-skinned person, it is already very good that he can achieve his current status in the United States. How can he want all the American media to agree with him?

   Time entered 1998, and the tight regular-season schedule continued.

   On January 1, 1998, the league announced the start of the All-Star voting.
