NBA Backer King: Chapter 256 this game is yours

   Chapter 256 This game is yours

   Seeing that Pharaoh called a timeout, Westphal nodded. This is right. If there is a problem, it should be resolved off the court, and you can't argue with your teammates on the court.

  Pharaoh sat down and drank a glass of water and didn't say anything immediately.

   He actually has no opinion on the number of shots of the glider, but the shot selection of the glider today is not very good, there are at least two strong shots, this is not a shooting choice that a superstar should have.

   But that's okay, it's not worth his anger, what annoys him is that Drexler ignored his position several times to ask for the ball, which annoyed him a lot.

   I tried my best to get the position in the low post, you ignored me, cast yourself outside, and let me use up my energy below for nothing. Are you making fun of me?

   But he certainly couldn't turn against Drexler because of this trivial matter, it would make people laugh to death, and he could only choose a way that was acceptable to both parties to solve the problem.

   Drexler was also silent, drinking water.

   When he came down, he understood a little why old K called a timeout. He was a little restless because of Hardaway and was addicted to going it alone. This was indeed his problem.

   He overlooked a problem, this team is the old K's, not his, this is not his Blazers anymore.

   At this time, Old Wang spoke, turned his head to Drexler and said, "Clyde, you seem to hate that guy?"

  The glider was stunned for a moment, understood who K was talking about, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "He is called Jordan's successor, and Jordan... hehe!"

   He didn't go on, but Pharaoh understood a little bit. Although he didn't quite understand the grievances between Drexler and Jordan, there was definitely something wrong.

   "OK, then this game is yours, you just shoot, no problem with how many shots, I'll grab the rebound for you." He looked at the glider and said.

   "What?" Drexler was surprised and didn't react.

   The others were also startled, not knowing whether what Lao Wang said was true or not.

   "Destroy him, this is your only task tonight." Pharaoh said again.

   This time Drexler understood, but he didn’t quite understand why Old K did this. 9 He has every reason and qualification to stop himself from doing it alone. This is his team.

   And the rest of the Suns also understood that Old K really completely handed over the dominance of the game to the glider.

   "Don't understand?" Pharaoh asked with a smile.

   "Yes." Drexler nodded.

   "You are my teammate, he is our opponent, if you want to beat him, then I will support you to beat him, it's that simple."

  Pharaoh explained, and when he said this, the conversation changed, but he said very seriously: "But this is the only time, Clyde, you are a superstar. In the position of point guard, it is not something you should do alone."

   "OK, no next time." Drexler nodded.

   Colangelo and Westphal who were looking at this side nodded, very satisfied with Wang Tiejun's handling.

  Although Drexler is likely to leave after this season, trading him also cost a price, and it is also for the championship, so these issues must be handled well.

   It doesn't matter whether you win or lose a regular season, as long as you can solve the problem, the locker room must not be chaotic.

   Westphal said to Drexler at this time: "Clyde, then you can control the shot yourself, and I will give you unlimited firing power."

   Drexler was excited, the Suns, from this moment on, gave him a sense of belonging.

   In the next game, he completely took over the Suns' ball possession and got unlimited firing rights.

   In contrast, Penny Hardaway did not have unlimited firepower.

   As a sophomore, the opponent is an offensive superstar with unlimited firepower, this is a nightmare.

  The glider made 18 of 38 shots, with a hit rate of 47.3%, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, a hit rate of 44.4%, 11 of 11 penalties, and just scored 51 points.

   The opposing Hardaway also performed well, scoring 21 points, but his performance was completely incomparable to that of the glider. Simply put, he was overwhelmed.

   In this game, Wang Tiejun went all out in defense and rebounding, and scored a triple-double of 18 points, 25 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, 8 blocks, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls. He broke the record for blocks in a single game in the regular season.

   In this game, the big cap was given to O'Neal only 4 times, and at the same time, it was sent 4 times in the assist defense.

   In this game, he showed his rebounding ability, single defense ability, and good help defense ability.

   But what is more eye-catching, especially to the satisfaction of head coach Westphal, is his ability to organize and control the attack.

  For a center, this ability is very rare, especially now that the team has lost a strong organizational function after a lightning injury for several months. This ability of old K can help the team very well.

   Simply put, this is the ability to organize a center.

   Of course, to show this ability, he needs to sacrifice his scoring and focus more on how to organize the team's offense.

Of course, Westphal also saw a point. Old K's ability is very immature and immature. Old K's stronger ability in this regard is the ability to respond to the ball and assist, and the organization is still very weak. In the end, there may be a four-inconsistency, the organization ability has not been exercised, and his offensive ability has been lost.

   So he doesn't plan to train Old K into a serious organization center, and the team still needs to wait for Lightning's comeback.

  The Suns also defeated the Magic with the explosion of the glider and the all-around performance of Pharaoh, and won the 28th regular season victory.

   The second day after playing the Magic, Phoenix welcomed the Bulls, and the two teams will play their last regular season game of the season on the 24th.

  The Bulls have regained the top spot in the league. Recently, they have been very prosperous, and they are quite the invincible momentum of last season. The bulls' voice for defending the title is getting louder and louder.

   In fact, this season's Bulls, although there is no Grant, but Tony Kukoc's strength and ability are not bad, some areas have done better, so the strength is not weaker than last season.

Although Jordan is one year older, his state is still at his peak, his physical fitness has not declined, he is still at his peak, and he has more experience in playing and has stronger control over the game. In fact, his strength Even a little bit stronger than last season.

  The Bulls are now 28 wins and 10 losses, and the Bulls are 32 wins and 6 losses, ranking first in the league.

Wang Tiejun won the MVP ranking in the first month, which made Jordan feel a sense of urgency, because he also wanted to win the MVP this season, so he worked harder last month and successfully won the first place. Location.

   Last season he won MVP+Championship+Scoring Champion+FMVP+Double First Team, do it again this season, and then repeat it again next season.

As long as he completes his goals in these three seasons, three consecutive MVPs, and three consecutive championships, he can directly consecrate the gods and sit on the throne of the first person in the history of the league, completely surpassing Larry Bird and Russell. , Magic Johnson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have become the supergiants of the supergiants.

   Money, he has, MJ brand and other commercial sponsorship endorsements, which can bring him tens of millions of dollars in benefits every year.

He also has the name   . He is the real superstar in the history of the NBA. He is a world-class physical superstar, not just a superstar in the NBA or basketball world.

   Now, what he wants is a place in history, a place in history that everyone can remember.

  Anyone or team that blocks him must fall at his feet.

   Now with a record of 4 wins, he will continue to exert his strength and strive to keep the Suns and the old K under his feet.

   Tomorrow, the second regular-season game between the two teams, he also has to win.

   At three o'clock in the afternoon, the bull arrived at the hotel, and at four o'clock, a media conference was held.

   "Michael, the glider blew up your successor last night, what do you want to say to him?" a reporter asked.

Jordan said with a look of disdain: "What's the pride of blowing up a sophomore? He should use the method of blowing me up to prove that he is a player of the same level as me. It's a pity that after so many years, he has only proved himself and me. I'm not a level player."

   "Michael, the Spurs have a very good record recently. They have chased the third place in the Western Conference. Do you think it is possible for them to reach the finals?" A reporter asked.

   "I support David Robinson to kill Big Dream and Old K. That's something I like to hear and hear about." Jordan laughed.

   "Don't you want to beat the Suns to win the championship?" the reporter asked.

   "Their injuries are very serious and their strength is not good. They are not the Suns who destroyed my three consecutive championships. I have no expectations for them." Jordan sneered.

   "Coach Jackson, after the Suns introduced gliders, they often play triangle tactics. Do you think their triangle tactics are different from yours?" the next reporter asked.

  Phil Jackson pushed his glasses and smiled: "Anyone can play the triangle tactics. It wasn't invented by me, but it's not that easy to understand the essence of the triangle tactics."

   "If the old K was handed over to you, how would you use him?" The reporter asked again.

   Hearing this sentence, Phil Jackson's eyes flashed twice, and after licking his lips, he smiled and said, "I don't answer such hypothetical questions."

   In fact, since the two behemoths of O'Neal and Old K appeared in the league, in his heart, he has always been eager to coach them. The powerful low-position destructive power and the terrifying low-post singles ability made him drool.

  Triangle tactic, to put it bluntly, is a tactic that serves superstars with super-strong singles ability, and O’Neal and Old K are born to be the most suitable people for triangle tactics.

Aside from technology, there are only three types of excellent centers in terms of physical quality. The first is speed and agility, like David Robinson and Ewing, the second is confrontation, like the old K, and the third. It's the type that is both quick and agile, like Big Dream and O'Neal.

The third type of   , as long as he matches certain skills, he must be a super center, and he is also the most suitable center for triangle tactics.

   In his opinion, although Old K's athletic quality has improved a bit in the past two years, O'Neal's athletic talent is still much better, he has more chances to become a super center, and is more suitable for triangle tactics than Old K.

   Of course, he also knows that Old K has some abilities that are stronger than O’Neal, such as the terrifying ability to rely on play, the ability to organize and control the attack, and the ability to rebound.

   But by comparison, he prefers to coach the more athletic Shaquille O'Neal.

   January 24, 1995, match day.

   At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting list.

   Bulls: Clifford Robinson, Tony Kukoc, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

  Sun: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Elliott Perry

  This game was broadcast live by TNT in the United States, and the commentators were Latham and Dortmund.

   At this time, Latham said: "This is the last regular season for the two teams. The Suns' lineup was seriously uneven and they lost on the road. Now that the Lightning is not there, I am not optimistic that the Suns can come back at home."

  Dott said with a smile: "Although Toni Kukoc has performed well for the Bulls, he is still in the stage of adapting to the NBA. In fact, I think the Bulls this season are a little weaker than last season."

Latham smiled and said: "It feels right, it just needs to be weaker. It can be seen from the record that the game is not halfway through, and it has already lost six games. After the All-Star, the rotation will be strengthened, and the record will decline to a certain extent. The record should not catch up with last year, and the probability of winning will not exceed 70 wins."

   Duotuo nodded and said: "But the Bulls are lucky, there are no injuries this season, while the Suns are constantly injured, maybe God wants Michael to defend the title?"

  Letham laughed: "It's possible, haha!"

   At half past eight, the game officially started.

  Pharaoh wins the jump ball and the Suns attack.

  Perry receives the ball and advances forward.

   Before he crossed the center line, Jordan blocked in front of him, startling him.

   He couldn't help scolding in his heart, I'm such a marginal person, you are a super-giant in your dignified super-giant, do you need to switch to me? Do you not want me to live?

"here."

   On the left-wing three-point line in the frontcourt, Drexler hurriedly retreated to meet Perry.

   The task given to him by the coaching staff, before Kevin Johnson did not return, encountered a team with a strong perimeter defense, and let him serve as the core of the perimeter and control the ball.

   This is no problem for him. Although he is mainly offensive, he still has some organizational skills, and his ability to protect the ball is not comparable to Perry.

  Perry quickly pulled to the left, passed the ball over, and then ran to the right wing to take Jordan away in case Jordan and Pippen formed a pinch on the ball handler Drexler.

   Drexler advanced to the three-point line after receiving the ball, while observing the situation on the field, mainly the old K's position and the Bulls' defensive formation.

   He saw Old K running towards the basket, and at the same time noticed that the Bulls' defenders in other positions had shrunk a bit. This was to prepare to double-team Old K.

   In front of him, Pippen was engrossed, leaning over his body, with his right hand in his face, his left hand eager to try like a venomous snake, ready to come up to press at any time.

   At this time, Pharaoh entered the basket. Clifford Robinson is a space-oriented insider, with a light tonnage, close to 110 kilograms, which is too much to stop him, even pulling and pulling.

When    got to the basket, Kerry wanted to go around, but Pharaoh blocked his left arm and pulled it a little. Under the confrontation, Kerry was stuck behind him. At this time, the ball flew over.

When   Drexler saw Pharaoh reach the basket, he immediately shook Pippen with a fake shot, and then passed the ball in.

  As the ball was in the air, the Bulls started a quick double-team.

   Weak side right wing, Tony Kukoc and Jordan double-teamed, AC Green and Perry were empty.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand.

   The next moment, his right foot didn't move, his left foot moved, accompanied by a sudden right turn, and Clifford Robinson, who was stuck behind him, was wrapped around him, and he staggered.

  It is also fortunate that he is not strong enough. If he hadn't been thrown away, the right elbow that Pharaoh swayed back as he turned to the right would have directly hit him.

  “…”

   Jordan, who jumped a step away, reacted too quickly. Seeing Pharaoh's turn around the basket, he flew directly under the force of his feet.

Pharaoh turned right, and when his left foot landed, his body had already turned to the left side of the basket, and at the same time he threw off the defender Clifford Robinson. The right hand of the ball hit the basket.

  Jordan flew in the air, stretched his right arm as best he could, and pressed his big hand to the ball in Pharaoh's right hand.

"Snapped!"

   He actually touched the ball.

   But the next moment, what surprised him was that he failed to stop Old K's dunk. His hand was directly smashed by a huge force, and then hit Old K's hand bowl.

"boom!"

  Old K smashed Jordan's hand with a ball and smashed the ball into the basket.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle blew.

"yeah!"

  Mexican Arena, a huge cheer erupted.

   "Oh hoo hoo, opening dunk, old K, keep doing this, blasting their baskets."

   "Good job! Old K, teach them a lesson like this and let them know that this is your territory."

   The live commentators of the two regional broadcasters roared excitedly.

  In the TNT commentary booth, Dort shook his head and sighed: "Old K's athleticism has indeed improved a lot. He used to directly knock the defender away, and then got up and dunked. There are very few such turning movements."

   "That's why he's called the Zone Sweeper." Lightham laughed.

Duotuo nodded and said: "Just now, his turning movements are still not as nimble and fast as the big shark O'Neal. The big shark's shark turns are as agile as a guard, but the turning movements he is doing now are quite good among center forwards. That's probably why he didn't use Clifford Robinson to clean up, because there's no need to do that, and it's easier to turn around and you can take out the defender."

   Latham nodded and said, "After his athleticism has improved, of course he has to choose this way, which will allow him to avoid being double-teamed to a certain extent.

  You can see that the bull's double-teaming was very fast just now. If he adopts the previous method, the bull's double-teaming will definitely be in place before he gets up.

   Of course, he may also continue to sweep Jordan and Kukoc, but such an attack will consume a lot of physical strength, and it is likely to violate the three-second violation, so now is the most correct way to attack the basket. "

   The two were talking when Pharaoh began to impose additional penalties. Just now, the referee gave Jordan a thug foul.

   The first attack caused Jordan's foul, and it was two plus one, which can be said to be a pretty good start.

"boom!"

   missed an extra penalty, Kukoc grabbed a backcourt rebound, and the Bulls attacked.

  BJ pushed the ball into the frontcourt and handed it to Jordan. Drexler switched and blocked in front of Jordan.

   Superstar duel, and they are a pair of enemies since 1984. They are both members of the Dream Team. The confrontation between the two immediately attracted everyone's attention.

   "click, click..."

  After the bottom line, dozens of reporters kept pressing the shutter at the two of them.

   Throughout the league, there are only three people who can really be called flying men, Jordan, Drexler, and Wilkins. These are superstars who fly in the sky and play.

The duel between the two immediately attracted the attention of countless viewers in front of the TV, and the ratings were soaring upwards.
