NBA Backer King: Chapter 130 MVP ranked first

   Chapter 130 MVP ranking first

  On the 27th, the New York media scolded the Knicks as a dog without showing any sympathy. They scolded them one by one, and the bigger the star, the more scolded.

New York Sports Daily: "Patrick Ewing failed our expectations. He let a rookie hit his head with a 27+11 statistic. Not only did he fail to regain his face, he even lost his mention because he didn't even have his own The basket could not be kept.

  Charles Oakley, a guy famous for his defense, his only contribution in this game was to send his own basket to the old K, the sweeper in the penalty area. He doesn't deserve to be the leader of the locker room. He doesn't even have the courage to fight with Lao K. He can only watch Lao K take away his basket as a loser. "

   Even Pat Riley, a famous and famous marshal, couldn't escape the arrangement in New York, and he didn't have any face left.

   In short, the Knicks were scolded for a **** head after this game.

   At noon on this day, the Suns flew to Cleveland and started their second away game.

   But on the 28th, in the away game against the Cavaliers, the Suns lost.

  The Cavaliers are very strong this year and are currently the third in the East, behind the Knicks and the Bulls.

   On the Suns side, Barkley didn't play, he had an ankle problem, and the game was called off.

And Wang Tiejun's physical fitness problem, mainly because he played too hard against the Knicks, his physical energy consumption was too high, and his state declined. After 35 minutes of playing, he made 5 of 13 shots, 5 of 8 free throws, and only scored 15 points and 7 rebounds. .

   On March 1st, the team flew back to the West, where they will challenge the Portland Trail Blazers on March 2nd.

  The February games have all been completed, and the Suns' current record is 41 wins and 10 losses, first in the Western Conference First League.

  After playing the Blazers, there is still a back-to-back hard battle. They will rush back to the home court overnight to face the Jazz. This will also be the last regular season match between the Suns and the Jazz this season.

  The Blazers have a good strength this season, fourth in the Western Conference, and their record is still above the Spurs and the Jazz. The Suns can't be careless.

   However, the Blazers scored the first point, and the glider was seriously injured. Barkley will be back on the Suns side, so the strength comparison is still the Suns more dominant.

  After staying at the hotel at 3 pm, Pharaoh went to the gym to train for two hours, and then went back to his room to rest.

   Now he shares a room with Barkley, which is arranged by Colangelo. The two are inside partners. They will have a better understanding when they are together on and off the court.

   It is still the regular season, and the intensity of confrontation has not yet come up. Especially the general strong team against the Suns will not double-team Wang Tiejun, but in the playoffs, there will definitely be double-teams, so the two of them need more tacit cooperation.

   When he returned to the room, Westphal, the head coach, happened to be looking for him and was talking to Barkley.

   "Old K, we have discussed with the coaching staff, your physical reserve is a big issue, I hope you can maintain a good physical state in the playoffs, so you need to adjust your playing time." Westphal said.

"OK, I see."

  Pharaoh has no problem, he is really tired now, and he has not had formal training for two years. Before, there was no physical reserve at all.

   Even two years ago, the training in the provincial team and the city sports school was not that good, and the training level in China is still much worse than here.

   Westphal added: "Your average time per game is now around 35 minutes, and in the regular season after that, it will be controlled within 30 minutes."

   "OK."

   Old Wang nodded.

  Barkley said: "Coach, the time between me and old K should be shortened, but our record cannot decline."

  Westphal nodded and said: "You can rest assured, Charles, the second-placed Mosaic team in the West is now 8 games behind us. Their state has declined a bit recently, and they have lost a bit more."

   The three chatted for a while, and Westphal left. Wang Tiejun quickly turned on the TV and tuned to ESPN.

  Today the league announced various honors for February, which will be broadcast on some TV stations' sports channels.

  Barkley laughed: "Old K, you were the sixth rookie in January. You should improve a little this month, at least one place."

   "The top three are difficult." Old Wang sighed.

  Barkley laughed and said, "O'Neal and Mourning are really good monsters. Timberwolves' Laettner also played very well and performed very stable. Your performance is indeed worse than them."

   "Charles, give me an analysis, where is the gap between me and them? I'm not talking about physical fitness, but performance on the field." Pharaoh said.

  Barkley thought for a while and said: "Offensively, you're actually pretty good now, you can hit the hook well, and you have a strong attack around the basket, mainly because of the gap you made before.

   In the past, you only had a strong attack at the basket, limited scoring, limited playing time, and the data couldn’t keep up with them, but now it makes up for it.

   But the defensive end is your main problem. Look at these stats... Oh, old K, you actually jumped to No. 4? "

   The rookie rankings were being broadcast at this time, O'Neal, Mourning and Laettner were firmly in the top three, and Wang Tiejun jumped from 6th to 4th.

The specific data is 35.5 minutes per game, 17.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.2 steals, 1.3 blocks, 2.6 turnovers, 3.6 fouls, 6.8 free throws per game, 3.6 hits per game, 53% shooting, 14 field goals per game, and 6.7 goals. 47.8% hit rate.

   The data looks okay, and he is about to catch up with the third Laettner.

  Laettner averaged 18.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 1 block, 3.4 turnovers and 3.6 fouls per game. His shooting percentage was 47.4%, and he was a little better on both offense and defense.

Barkley pointed to the TV and smiled and said: "Look at the defensive statistics of you and the first three. O'Neal averaged 0.7 steals and 3.5 blocks per game, Mourning 0.3 steals and 3.5 blocks, and Laettner 1.3 steals and 1 block. You are all centers, the difference is It's a bit big!"

   Lao Wang scratched his head, this, the defensive performance is indeed a bit weak.

  Barkley said: "You have to put more energy into the defensive end."

   "I'm committed, who can match my strength in confrontation? Yesterday, the Knicks announced that Ewing is going to play a truce." Pharaoh refused to accept it.

Barkley shook his head and said, "The intensity of confrontation is not equal to the intensity of defense. Your defensive efficiency is not high, and a lot of physical energy is wasted. With your physical condition, you can do better. But it doesn't matter, you are still young, 20 I'm not too old, I have too little experience in the game, and it will be better in the future."

  Pharaoh thought for a while, although his assist defense is only level 60, but his solo defense is 82, so his solo defense ability is barely enough. If the data doesn't go up, there should be a problem.

  For example, he defended the three super centers very hard, and his still strong confrontation ability made them all want to die, and they all had to truce after the game.

   But the effect is not great, the opponent can still blow them up on the offensive end, which means that his physical energy is wasted in vain, and his defensive efficiency has not come out.

Barkley said at this time: "Once you enter the playoffs, they can make your physical energy use up by constantly double-teaming, and at the same time, they also reduce their confrontation with you and reduce their physical energy consumption by double-teaming. , you need to face a more difficult situation.”

   "What should we do then?" Old Wang asked anxiously.

Barkley thought about it and shook his head: "This can only rely on you to accumulate experience in the game, improve it slowly. O'Neal and the others have all gone through regular high school leagues and NCAA leagues. If you don't have this experience, you will waste the first two years. Now, you need time to make up for this shortcoming."

   Old Wang nodded.

Barkley laughed: "Old K, don't look at the fact that you can now score a beautiful 20+10 on the top of the three super centers, but you can't limit them to score better data. What does this mean? It also means the defensive end. You are not efficient enough, and you lose more points than you score, which is a loophole.

   Also, your ability to assist defense and supplementary defense is even worse. Your ability to supplement defense on the perimeter is a huge weakness, and it is too easy for you to be a master of perimeter breakthrough.

   In order to reduce your own fouls, you often watch the opponent rush in and layup on the outside. Your ability to protect the basket is very weak, far less than the three super centers and O'Neal. "

   Lao Wang said awkwardly: "How can I keep up with the speed of the outside line, didn't you make me graduate with six fouls every game?"

   "OK, let's not talk about this, let's get back to the point."

  Barkley continued: "When it comes to the gap between you and them, I think it's bigger than the gap in data, you have to understand this, their role on offense and defense in many ways cannot be reflected in data.

   To put it simply, the three super centers can be said to have their own offensive and defensive systems. Even O’Neal has their own offensive and defensive systems, but you don’t.

   Their defense is not only reflected in the opposing players, but also in other aspects. An excellent center must be a gate in the penalty area, and you are now a defensive loophole. "

   "Am I so bad?" Lao Wang was ashamed.

   Barkley added: "Generally speaking, on offense, your offense is not as good as theirs, your defense is even worse, and your physical fitness is far from theirs.

   Come on, boy, you said it yourself, you have to win with strength, plus your strong support, I am optimistic that you will kill them and ascend to the throne of the first center. "

"Ha ha…"

   Having said this, the two burst into laughter.

   After laughing, Pharaoh said unconvincingly, "Ewing's efficiency was not high the day before yesterday, so that means my defense is okay, right?"

Barkley said disdainfully: "He was originally the least efficient of the three super centers, and his hit rate just reached 50%. In fact, his efficiency was only a little worse than before the day before yesterday, so don't put the credit on your defense. You can't prevent him at all, and the reason why his efficiency is declining is the reason for his physical collapse at the end."

   "That's also my credit, and I have to rely on my confrontation." Old Wang said.

  Barkley was startled, nodded and laughed: "Indeed, no one will be very efficient after fighting you for a whole game."

   Then, the league announced the best of the month for February, and the Eagles forward and guard swingman Dominic Wilkins, known as "the essence of human movies", won this honor.

   Next, is the most important ranking list in February, even Barkley is nervous, staring at the TV without moving.

   "Brother, Jordan ranked first last month. This month should be yours. Our record is much better than the Bulls." Pharaoh said.

   "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Buckley looked expectant, but his mouth was still modest.

   At this time, the official MVP rankings of this month began to be broadcast, and the host smiled and said: "Congratulations to Charles Barkley..."

   "I'll just say, you must be the first."

  Pop, happy, Pharaoh slapped Barkley's bald head.

   "His!"

  Buckley cracked his teeth in pain, but he was not angry. Instead, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he laughed while looking at the TV.

Hard honors, all-stars are not hard honors. He only won the second team of the best two times and the first team of the best four times. He didn't even have the best first team last season. Sleep and wake up laughing.

  …

   On the second day, the Suns defeated the Blazers.

  Wang Tiejun played 28 minutes, made 5 of 10 shots, 3 of 6 free throws, scored 13 points and 7 rebounds, and the data began to decline.

   Anyway, he is mentally prepared. With less playing time, his statistics will definitely decline, and the rookie ranking will also decline in the future.

  After playing the Blazers, the Suns set off overnight and flew back to Phoenix.

   No. 3, the Suns at home against the Jazz.

  The Jazz, who have both black and white, are now 33 wins and 20 losses, and they are now sixth in the West. After the Spurs, they arrived in Phoenix yesterday.

   He went to bed at 5:00 in the morning, Lao Wang slept until he woke up naturally, and only got up at noon. When he walked out of the room, Lao Zhang had already made his lunch, and it was a good, fried steak.

   "Brother Zhang, what are you doing with such a waste? I can go to the training base to eat." He said.

   "This is my own, I didn't get it for you." Lao Zhang said.

   Old Wang was stunned and said: "Come with me to the training base to eat, and you come to me to eat, so I'm not wasting?"

   Zhang Lili laughed and laughed at Pharaoh who walked into the bathroom, "You kid just made a few million dollars, who doesn't eat yours?"

   Old Wang turned his head and shouted, "Brother Zhang, I have a contract with you for half a year, right? I don't think it's right, I signed the wrong one."

   "What do you want to do, kid? Our contract is protected by law, you can't breach it!" Zhang Heli hurriedly shouted.

"No, I mean I signed the wrong time. They only hire personal trainers during the off-season. What's the use of asking you now? I'll lose money and eat and drink. Change it. I'll invite you after the season is over, okay?" kingly.

   "I've been training with you at home, why is it useless? Anyway, I received the money, and it won't be refunded. Or, will you invite me again during the offseason?"

   Lao Zhang said happily.

Clashing, Pharaoh came out of the water, and said unhappily: "Your workload is seriously insufficient, I spend half of my time playing away games, and I have to reduce training from now on. "

Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "That won't work, you just need to give me one more contract and pay me more. I'm not only your trainer, but also your chef, personal assistant, babysitter, and hourly cleaner. I wash all your underwear, so what kind of chores don't I do? Hiring a nanny cost more than me, don't you think it's worth it?"

  Pharaoh is right to think about it, but he can only give up.

   At this moment, his cell phone rang, and it turned out that it was the phone of his agent, Lance Hoxman.
