NBA Backer King: Chapter 267 First career AMVP
Chapter 267 The first AMVP in his career
Wang Tiejun and O'Neal stood opposite each other, ready to jump the ball.
"Snapped!"
The two took off almost at the same time, with almost the same height and wingspan, and touched the ball at almost the same time.
This means that now that O'Neal has gained 140kg, his jump height has no obvious advantage in front of Pharaoh.
But his jumping advantage is still there. The second jump is faster, and he takes the ball away first.
Eastern All-Star offense.
"boom!"
The basket was unguarded, and O'Neal dunked.
Looking back, Pharaoh entered the basket, O'Neal did not defend, Pharaoh got a pass from Tim Hardaway and also dunked a ball.
The two behemoths played quite aggressively and kept asking for the ball.
O'Neal hasn't had much honor in three seasons. He entered the playoffs for the first time last season, but was swept in the first round, so this All-Star, he hopes that the East will win, and then he will get the AMVP.
And Lao Wang also wants to get AMVP.
The two played actively, but they were centers, so they had to cooperate with their perimeter teammates. It’s just that all-stars are all-stars, and they all want to be outstanding. Who wants to be a supporting role? So after they played two balls, people outside didn't pass them much.
"If you don't give me the ball, I'll grab it myself." Pharaoh decided to strengthen the control of the rebound, and at the same time let Barkley cooperate with him.
Today is his home court, and the head coach is also his own head coach. Those who don’t give him face will go down after a while.
The same is true for O'Neal over there. He doesn't support him from the outside. He can only strengthen the control of rebounding and wants to play more secondary offenses.
In the fourth minute of the first quarter, at 11:13, the West led by 2 points.
Pharaoh made 3 of 3 shots and scored 6 points and 2 rebounds. One of the offensive rebounds also became a secondary attack, and he is the player with the most points in the Western Conference.
O'Neal had less luck. He didn't grab an offensive rebound. He only made 2 of 2 shots and scored 4 points and 2 rebounds.
At this time, the East called a timeout.
"Coach, let Charles and Da Meng come up when I'm on the court." Pharaoh said quietly.
He can't do anything about it. The relationship between others and him can only be said to be average, and they won't cooperate with him. They can only arrange for the two to play and cooperate on the field. But with three people on the field, it should be almost the same.
Westphal, of course, knew what Pharaoh was thinking and nodded.
Then, he really put on the big dream, let him play the four and Barkley play the three.
"Boy, I don't mind if you want to get AMVP, but what can I get?" Da Meng whispered before playing.
"Brother, what about me?" Buckley also said.
Old Wang glared at the two of them and whispered, "How about I arrange VIP service for you as soon as possible?"
The two looked at each other and nodded.
In this way, in the following time, as long as Barkley and Da Meng got the ball, they would continue to pass the ball to Pharaoh.
There were five people on the court, and three of them hugged together. Although none of them were defenders, the other two didn't dare to ignore them. They had to pass the ball to them from time to time, so Pharaoh's stats rose rapidly. After halftime, he took the With 29 points and 11 rebounds, he overtook all the All-Stars in the East and West.
But the score, the difference is not big, 61:62, the West is only one point ahead.
At halftime, Jordan returned to the locker room and said unhappily: "That guy, old K, is cheating. We have to kill the West, and we can't let him succeed."
O'Neal also stood up angrily and said: "Michael is right, we are all upright people, we can't let old K play this dirty game, we have to stop him."
"Shaq, it's up to you to deal with old K. Ewing and Mourning will help you." Jordan said to O'Neal.
"No problem." O'Neal patted his chest and said.
After Jordan made a sound, the Eastern All-Stars immediately twisted into a rope to fight back against the Western All-Stars in the second half.
At this time, the all-star halftime guest performance began.
This year brought in Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Sarah Brightman, and the now-popular Superboy group.
After 15 minutes, the second half began, and the Western All-Star attacked.
Pharaoh tried to get to the basket, but this time it was no better than the first half. The defensive intensity was completely different. O'Neal resisted him for the first time.
"Really?"
In the dark, he looked at the outside line, the ball was in Peyton's hands, he suddenly pulled out and reached out to Peyton for the ball.
Unfortunately, Payton did not give it, but gave it to the right-wing shooting guard Mitch Richmond.
The shooting guard is the king's number one star. He has three consecutive All-Stars. He even started last year. He is very strong, but he didn't get much chance in the first half. The ball is dry, throwing a 3-pointer directly on Jordan's head.
Pharaoh and O'Neal were competing at the basket, and suddenly a hard hit against the latter shook the opponent's center of gravity, and then took the opportunity to get stuck behind him.
"asshole!"
O'Neal was dumbfounded with anxiety, and he directly hugged the waist of the old king in front of him.
"Boom!"
Pharaoh was not polite, and turned his elbow to put O'Neal's chest on O'Neal's chest, and the latter let go of his hand in pain.
"boom!"
At this time, the ball hit the basket and rebounded.
"mine!"
Pharaoh grabbed the ball, got up a second time, held the ball up with one hand, and was about to dunk.
"Don't think about it!"
O'Neal and Mourning took off at the same time, and the four big hands blocked all the space at the same time.
"It's over!"
But they were immediately dumbfounded, because Pharaoh didn't jump up, they were shaken.
"boom!"
The next moment, Pharaoh jumped into the air and made a one-handed looping dunk. At the same time, he dunked O'Neal and Mourning at the basket, which ignited the audience again.
"Boys, thank you for your cooperation." After he succeeded, Lao Wang laughed proudly.
O'Neal and Mourning were so angry that their faces were blood red.
Especially Mourning, who entered the league in the same year as Shaquille O'Neal and Old K, but this year was his first All-Star selection.
This is the first time I played the All-Star game, and I was detained by the old K, and I lost all face.
As for O'Neal, it's a little better. After all, the All-Star was once detained by Old K last year. Although he was still angry, he was actually used to it.
He is just unhappy. Old K is obviously not as athletic as him, so why is he always detained?
He constantly summed up his experience and lessons, "Well, I will learn from old K in the future. His position is never under the basket, and I don't want to stand under the basket. The ball that can't be defended, like old K, put it when it should be released. In the past. If it's a shot from the basket, try not to block from the front, stand a little forward, and block from the side to avoid being dunked, and the defensive effect will not be bad."
Western Offensive.
Jordan ignored O'Neal's hard shot at the basket and hit a mid-range shot.
"Big felon, beat him up and make sure he passes the ball to you." Pharaoh encouraged.
"Dameng passed the ball to you, did you beat him?" O'Neal was also a smart person, and immediately counterattacked.
Big Meng couldn't stop talking. If he didn't show his attitude, he didn't need to finish the game, and the news of Lao K's beating him would fly all over the sky. He hurriedly glared at O'Neal and said dissatisfiedly: "Boy, are you trying to be knocked over by me? I'm a VIP customer of K martial arts hall, how could he beat me?"
"Well, the hundreds of VIP VIPs in the K martial arts hall are all friends and brothers of my old K. O'Neal, I solemnly warn you not to spread rumors and cause trouble." Old Wang shouted.
"Hundreds of VIP customers?"
O'Neal stayed. The day before yesterday, he couldn't bear the $100,000, and he didn't join the club. Now he regretted it a bit. One hundred thousand dollars to join a huge network is a good deal.
He saw it at the time. The guests who went there were all powerful people. That was the connections. It was a mistake!
After three quarters, 93:99, the West led by 6 points.
The Eastern Conference scored more evenly, with six players in double figures. O'Neal scored the most with 15 points.
In the West, under the cheating of Pharaoh, a single show has scored 37 points and 15 rebounds. If the West can win, he will be the undisputed AMVP.
So sitting back on the bench, he discussed with Westphal. Including him in the final quarter, several insiders must strengthen rebound control and insider offense and defense to ensure victory.
Pharaoh himself, 98-level rebounding skills, coupled with his physical advantages, in fact, his current rebounding strength is already at the top level in the league. If he is not distracted by offense and defense, he is eligible to compete with the big insect for the rebounding championship.
And the rebounding ability of Da Meng, Barkley and David Robinson is also extraordinary.
On the contrary, in the East, after O'Neal's tonnage increased to 140 kg, his rebounding ability declined, and Ewing was the worst rebounding ability among the three super centers. The remaining Mourning, his height was his biggest weakness. The rebounding ability is not on the same level as the above.
So in terms of rebounding ability, the Western All-Star is far more than the Eastern All-Star.
In terms of offense and defense in the low post, the West is also better than the East.
Pharaoh + Big Dream + David Robinson + Barkley, beat O'Neal + Mourning + Ewing.
That's it, Karl Malone, a postman on the bench of the Western All-Stars, was moldy. He only got 8 minutes of playing time, and his face was black with anger.
In the end, 117:131, the Western All-Stars won the game by 14 points.
Pharaoh scored 40 points, 18 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. With this data, he won the All-Star AMVP in the 1994/95 season.
"Congratulations, old K, your performance in the NBA is great! I hope you can achieve more honors." David Stern sent trophies and blessings to Pharaoh.
"Thank you, Mr. Stern."
After thanking, Pharaoh said: "I also hope that the NBA can be more promoted in my home country, and I hope more Chinese people can see my performance."
"I hope so!" Stern smiled and nodded.
After the two shook hands, Wang Tiejun raised the trophy to the fans in the audience, and there was warm applause at the West American Arena.
"It's a pity that it's not the MVP of the regular season."
He still has some regrets. ANVP is actually quite tasteless. It would be great if he could get the MVP this season.
However, if there is only one choice between MVP and championship, he will choose the championship, and he hopes to lead his team to win the championship this year.
If they can't win the championship this year, the Lightning will continue to decline next year, the glider leaves, and Danny Manning can't come back. If the team can't select a good outside rookie, it will be more difficult to win the championship in the past two or three years than this year. .
So in fact, this year is likely to be the strongest year for the team in the next few years, so we must seize this opportunity.
Of course, it does not mean that there is no chance of winning the championship in the next few years. The strength of the Suns is declining, and other strong teams may not be absent, such as Big Dream, Barkley and Jordan. No, the Suns will continue to hit the championship in the next few years.
The hilarious All-Star game ended, Phoenix's starlight faded, and normalcy re-entered.
Wang Tiejun's K martial arts hall has also purchased a large number of Chinese herbal medicines, and has already begun to boil medicinal oil and prepare medicinal bath bags.
The salesman also brought the first business to the martial arts hall, providing martial arts training for nearly 600 police officers in the Southern District of the Phoenix Police Department, mainly teaching grappling hands.
Speaking of which, it is not entirely dependent on the salesman's ability. Pharaoh himself has a good influence here. In addition to the stick performance on the All-Star, the result is that he has won this business.
This business is not small. The contract amount reached 1.25 million US dollars in one year, which is enough to maintain the K martial arts hall for one year.
But this business alone will take up the energy of Wang Tielong and the others, so there is a shortage of manpower, and they have to quickly bring people over from their hometown.
"What is this?"
Called home. Dad Wang Aiguo said indifferently, "Son, how many people do you want? We don't have anyone else in Cangzhou, and there are martial arts all over the place."
"Dad, find a group of people with actual combat experience." Old Wang said quickly.
"That's not a lot, just pick from those who have retired from the army." Wang Aiguo said.
"Dad, there are ten people who are proficient in massage, and ten people who are proficient in actual combat. I will send the job invitation letter immediately. You go to the capital and ask Mr. Bai to help you apply for a passport and visa. In addition, you should pay attention to such people, maybe Next time." Old Wang said.
"No problem, son, there are a lot of people who want to follow you to the United States to make a fortune." Wang Aiguo said.
After getting things done, he notified Kevin Johnson, Barkley, and Da Meng, and asked them to arrange their own time, and to arrange the time with the staff of the K martial arts hall, and they could do medicated baths and medicated oil massage.
Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley are no problem, they can do it anytime in Phoenix, but Barkley and the others are very troublesome. They are far away in Houston, clamoring for Pharaoh to open a branch there.
"Come on, it's just for the two of you to open a branch, so I'm full?"
He thought about it and said, "Well, you can find a person who knows Chinese medicine massage in Houston's Chinatown. Just use my medicated oil. I only charge $2,000 for each medicated oil."
"Okay, hurry up and send the medicated oil." Buckley said quickly.
"Come on, old K, if it works, I'll renew the contract for another ten years." Da Meng shouted loudly.
"Don't worry, you will definitely renew the contract for ten years." Pharaoh laughed.
He knew that Big Dream and Barkley were in a hurry, because the playoffs were not far away. If the medicated bath and medicated oil massage were really useful, they could just make them better prepare for the playoffs.
But he is not worried, the effects of medicated bath and medicated oil massage have been discounted on them. Although they have some effects, they need to be accumulated for a long time, and they will not have a big effect for a while.
And the priority is to make money, and to invest in the enemy is to invest in the enemy.
These most powerful competitors, their physical fitness has actually reached the end of the peak, or even declining, while he is on a continuous rise, he is not afraid at all.
After this season, he will gain weight again in the offseason. He will weigh more than 130 kilograms next season, and his athletic quality can be maintained at the current level. He will become a real monster, and no one can stop him, even O’Neal. Same thing.
So even if it's to make money to make Barkley and the others a little better, he doesn't care.
hung up the phone over there, and Buckley and Da Meng looked at each other with big eyes.
"Charles, you said, is it really effective? Medicated baths can increase physical fitness, and medicated oil massage can improve the ability to resist injuries and diseases. Why do I find it incredible?" Da Meng couldn't help asking.
"There should be, but we shouldn't have too much expectations, after all, it's not God's holy water. I asked people to go to Chinatown to ask, and there are Chinese medicine there. They say that Chinese medicine is effective, medicated baths and medicated oils. It's also true, not only old K has it, they have it there, as well as acupuncture or something. Old K shouldn't lie to us, but it won't be as good as he blows." Buckley said.
Da Meng nodded and said, "I also have some injuries on my body, and now my physical fitness has passed the peak period. It would be best if there are some effects."
Barkley said with a smile: "Michael Jordan spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintaining his body every year, so we take it as money to maintain our body. Old K has used medicated baths and medicated oil massage all the year round. There must be, otherwise he can hold on?"
Da Meng nodded involuntarily.
On the night of February 17th, the Suns defeated the Warriors at home, and then Kevin Johnson, Dan Marley, Danny Ainge, Drexler and others followed Pharaoh and Liu Changfeng to the K martial arts hall.
They are going to try the VIP service of K Martial Arts Hall for the first time today, which is medicated bath and medicated oil massage.
Came to the martial arts hall, the medicine bucket was ready, Wang Tielong and the others poured the medicine soup into the bucket, and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine permeated the air.
Kevin Johnson and the others were prepared. They took out the prepared gas masks one by one and put them on, then stripped off their clothes and soaked them in the medicine well.
Pharaoh curiously went up to touch Lightning's mask and asked, "Kevin, what is this thing?"
"Oxygen cylinder. Old K, you don't even know this, it's too rude!" Kevin Johnson's tone was obviously disgusting.
Old Wang said angrily: "I saw a word in the newspaper last time called oxygen poisoning, aren't you afraid of poisoning?"
Kevin Johnson was startled, quickly took off the mask, and asked, "Really?"
Then he felt the strong smell of medicine and felt nauseous, so he quickly put on the mask again.
"The newspaper said that the oxygen concentration is too high will lead to poisoning, I do not understand, you pay attention to yourself." Lao Wang said.
"No way, it's too hot, I can't take it anymore, I want to come out."
"Can't come out."
"Old K, how did you stay here for an hour?"
"Sheet, my skin is about to fall off!"
"Damn, old K let me out."
"Can't come out, keep soaking."
After soaking for more than ten minutes, they couldn't take it anymore. When they wanted to come out, they were held down by Pharaoh and could not get out.
In fact, it is a very painful thing to continuously soak in hot water of around forty degrees. If the water temperature is a little higher, even if it is one or two degrees higher, it is likely to cause burns for a long time.
Old Wang shouted: "Don't come out, this water temperature can't hurt you at all, just get used to it. After a long time, the medicinal power can enter the body."
"Tie Jun, yours is ready." At this time, Wang Tieshu dragged a large bucket and poured the medicinal liquid into it.
"I'll take a dip with you."
Pharaoh sat in the wooden barrel, and asked Wang Tiejunlong to keep watch over Lightning and them to prevent them from running out.
Slowly, after Lightning and the others got used to it, they stopped making noise. After soaking for an hour, they started to massage with medicated oil.
They have been using this massage all the time, but there is no medicinal oil, and the medicinal oil is boiled with concentrated traditional Chinese medicine.
Wang Tielong and the others did it themselves, and massaged Lightning and the others, making them cry and howl.
This is because Wang Tielong's massage skills are not as good as Liu Changfeng's.
But the effect is still there. After pressing for an hour, Lightning and others feel hot all over the body, even the inside of the bones is warm, and every muscle relaxes, which is very comfortable. In the past, Liu Changfeng gave them massage, without the cooperation of medicated oil, there would be no such effect.
Kevin Johnson regretted it. If he had used this medicated oil earlier, he might not have been injured, and he was still recovering from it.
Drexler is also fortunate to be in V, otherwise he would have missed this opportunity.
