NBA Backer King: Chapter 502 Debut is the peak of Duncan

   Chapter 502 Duncan, the peak of his debut

  On the 10th, Pharaoh just woke up and hadn't brushed his teeth when Fox suddenly called and told him excitedly that he had received a text message from the Los Angeles branch of the K martial arts hall.

   "Brother Fei, is there going to be a party here?" After hanging up, he asked back.

Brother Fei was packing Lao Wang's luggage and was going to play away. He heard the words and said: "The trading company here has already done a good job, and the domestic trading company has sent a lot of orders, and I need to have a party immediately to find someone who can provide it. Supplier of high quality sources.”

"Oh."

"Husband, before my dad suggested that I open an import and export trading company, but I chose to open a film and television company. This time I opened a trading company. I didn't expect the business to be so good. I knew I would have opened it earlier." Yu Feihong said excitedly. .

   "The film and television company didn't make any money?" Pharaoh asked casually.

   "I made some profit, but not much. Domestic investment lost a lot, but I made some profit in the introduction of foreign films." Yu Feihong said.

   "By the way, did my second sister say when will the martial arts hall be reorganized for me?" Pharaoh asked.

   "Come on, she is making plans, I don't know the specifics." Yu Feihong said.

   "My sister isn't hurrying?" Old Wang muttered.

   "Second sister's main focus is on reading, and she has three majors. She only does business affairs in her spare time."

   "What's going on with Zhang Weihua and Liu Beibei with our sisters now?"

"It's not bad, but the two of them are similar to the eldest sister. They are both nerds. After finishing their studies here, they are all ready to go back to China to do research. Only the second sister is better. She often takes time to attend some parties in the martial arts hall, and has plans to become a businessman. ."

   "It's better to be a nerd, so you don't have to open your eyes in this fancy world, but lose your mind."

   When Pharaoh said this, he somehow thought of Mrs. John and said, "Brother Fei, ask Changjiang to contact Phoenix and send Mrs. John a party invitation.

Mrs. John is not bad. Her family is also considered to be a local snake in Phoenix. It has been passed down there for hundreds of years. It used to be in agriculture and has a lot of connections. Although it is not very good now, the foundation is still there. See if you can give her some chance to catch her breath, maybe she will be able to recover. "

   "Okay, I'll call Changjiang later."

  Yu Feihong nodded, and suddenly asked again, "You have such a good relationship with the Colangelo family, why don't you invite them?"

   Old Wang shook his head and said, "The Colangelo family only has the sports industry, and has no other business."

  …

Next, the Lakers experienced three more away games. After defeating the Mavericks on the 11th, the 13th and 14th defeated the Spurs and the Mosaic in a back-to-back, winning four consecutive victories, and the record rose to 6 wins and 1 loss, ranking third in the Western Conference. .

   Kobe, who has started consecutively, performed well, averaging 17 points per game and shooting 47% from the field. The score is not a big deal. The important thing is that for a second-year shooting guard, this efficiency is very good.

Richmond's performance has returned to normal, and he played well with Pharaoh. The average per game has increased from 14.6 points in the first three games to 18.5 points, and there is still room for improvement. It is very possible to play an average of 20+ per game. of.

   If he and Kobe can always be so powerful on the outside, Pharaoh's offensive pressure will be much less, and he can devote more energy to other aspects.

However, because of the existence of Pharaoh, if the offensive ability of these two people is not strong enough, they will also be suppressed by Pharaoh. In previous seasons, many Pharaoh's teammates have proved this, unless Pharaoh deliberately Reduce offense.

Chris Mullin and Rick Fox also played well on the bench, with the former playing at the 2, the latter at the 3, Fisher at the 1, Danny Fortson at the 4, and only the 5. The strength is too scum, and the bench lineup is very strong.

The strength of these three teams is very weak, or very bad, so Pharaoh's shots are reduced a lot, more development of teammates' energy, seize the opportunity to run the lineup, make all-round contributions in other aspects, the personal score has dropped a little, In 37 minutes per game, he averaged 38 points, 17.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 4.5 blocks, 1.8 turnovers and 2.7 fouls.

  The Blazers made a fiery start, winning all 7 games, still the first in the Western Conference, and tied for the first place in the league with the Knicks.

   And the Jazz, 7 wins and 1 loss, the second record in the Western Conference.

   The second week of the regular season ended, and the league updated the MVP rankings.

  Because the Lakers' record has risen, Wang Tiejun's personal score has declined, but he is still the leading scorer in the league, and other statistics are excellent, so he still ranks first.

   The second is O'Neal, who averaged 32 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.7 blocks, 2.9 turnovers and 3.2 fouls in 35 minutes per game.

   The third is Jordan, who is almost 35 years old and still played an excellent performance, averaging 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.9 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2.3 turnovers and 1.8 fouls in 38 minutes per game.

  The fourth is postman Karl Malone, fifth is rookie Tim Duncan, sixth is Ewing, seventh is Big Dream Olajuwon, and eighth is David Robinson.

   With the announcement of the MVP rankings in the second week, Tim Duncan's name appeared in the news of major media, and the attention was further increased.

He is a super No. 1 overall pick who made half the league rotten. He was traded again and again in the offseason. The attention itself is very high, but he was traded by the Lakers and the Suns one after another. He entered the MVP rankings as a rookie, ranking fifth, and immediately swept away such doubts.

   The peak of his debut has become his symbol.

   The last person with such a sign was Iverson, but Iverson is not as good as Duncan, Philadelphia has no record, a typical bad team, and has not yet entered the top ten of the MVP rankings.

   "Old K, haha, did you see my ranking?" O'Neal, who ranked second, also called Pharaoh and showed off.

   "Congratulations, Shark, it feels great to have Jordan under him, right?" Pharaoh teased.

   "Haha, I told you, old K, this feels great!" O'Neal laughed proudly.

"Then go on, like me, **** him three times, it'll be better, you're nothing right now. By the way, Shark, I think you'd better kick him off, now he's holding your thigh, you see How good is his stats, if you kick him, your stats will skyrocket a lot, and it's possible to surpass me, haha..."

  Pharaoh laughed, and at the end, he couldn't stop laughing.

   "Old K, you bastard, I won't listen to you." O'Neal was not a fool, and hung up the phone cursingly.

  …

On the 15th   , a party was held at the K Martial Arts Hall in Los Angeles. All businessmen were invited. Wang Tiejun, his wife, and Erya attended the party as the party host.

   Mrs. Keryl John came from Phoenix, dressed up for the party.

Her spirit is quite haggard. In this financial turmoil, more than half of her family lost, and her personal assets lost as high as 70%, adding up to a loss of more than 2.3 billion US dollars. Most of the high-quality assets in Phoenix have been sold, and all overseas assets have been sold. Already devastated.

   The day before yesterday, she received a party invitation from the Los Angeles branch of K Wuguan. She was a little strange. It was normal for the Phoenix branch to invite her to a party. What did the Los Angeles branch invite her to do?

   But she owed the old K sister and brother a big favor, so she was also invited to come and carefully prepared a gift.

   "Welcome, Mrs. John."

   "Old K, I'm glad you invited me to this party."

When    saw Mrs. John, Pharaoh immediately took someone over.

   "Feihong, second sister, this is Mrs. John. Mrs. John, this is my wife Yu Feihong, and this is my second sister Wang Lian." Pharaoh introduced.

  After the two sides greeted, Mrs. John gratefully said to Erya: "The news of Miss Wang Lian was too important to me and my family last time, and I am really grateful."

   "Madam is too polite..." Erya said politely,

   At this time, Mrs. John took out a few pieces of paper, handed it to Pharaoh with both hands, and said, "Old K, as my thanks, this is a gift I prepared, please accept it."

   "Why are you being so polite, Madam?"

  Pharaoh declined for a while, but he was too kind, so he took it over.

I took a look. This is a gift list. It says 136 antique Chinese vases and 3668 Chinese antique porcelain bowls. Thousands.

   "Madam, is this?" he asked in surprise.

   Mrs. John was a little embarrassed and said: "These are some collections of the family for a hundred years, all from China, and I don't know the specific value, I'm sorry..."

"understand."

   Old Wang nodded again and again, saying he understood, but he didn't know what he understood, feeling that Mrs. John was just fooling him with bottles and jars.

   But this is a free gift. It represents the heart of others. It is still necessary to thank the mouth. It does not matter whether it is valuable or not.

   "Mrs. John, I'm inviting you this time. My wife and sister's trading company has a large number of orders in China. If you have a suitable source of goods, you can become one of the suppliers." Lao Wang said.

"real?"

  Mrs. John's eyes widened, she then understood why Mr. K invited her to the branch party in Los Angeles. It was for her business!

   "Old K, I really appreciate it! I promise that our John family will be your forever friend. We will provide your company with the best supply of goods you need."

   "Well, Phoenix still has a lot of goods that we need in our country. This business can go on for a long time, and it's not a one-time thing."

"That's great!"

  Mrs. John is very excited. This is the best opportunity to let the family get rid of the current predicament and find life again.

  This time the order is very complex, from daily general merchandise to various household appliances, as well as various mechanical products, etc., all of which are included.

  The businessmen who attended the party did not expect that K Wuguan suddenly throws out so many orders, which made them happy. They thought it was just an ordinary party, a complete surprise.

  Er Ya and Yu Feihong took the management of the American trading company, carefully selected a group of reputable merchants, and handed the order to them.

   Mrs. John received a lot of orders from it, mainly orders for various electrical appliances. Her family has this business and it is still in hand.

  …

   After the No. 16 home win over the Grizzlies, the No. 17 Lakers came to Salt Lake City.

   On the 18th, the Lakers and the Jazz started a battle.

  Unfortunately, the game was lost, and the two sides were tied 1-1.

   Kobe felt cold and played abnormally. He made 0 of 3 three-pointers and only scored 11 points, with a shooting percentage of only 38%.

   Richmond's performance was okay, scoring 24 points, but the shooting percentage was only 36%, and the efficiency was low, and he scored points by shooting.

The efficiency of the two main perimeter players forced Lao Wang to make crazy shots on the offensive end, but because of his poor perimeter feel, the Jazz frantically double-teamed him, and his efficiency was also limited, with a hit rate of only 56%. , got 46 points.

  This efficiency and scoring is no problem against other teams, but against a championship-level team like the Jazz, if the teammates are not good, it is still not good.

   And the Lakers couldn't prevent the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics. Although the defensive performance was better than the first game, it was not much better. The Postman and Sabonis could only defend one, so they lost without temper.

   In addition, the addition of Big Worm has strengthened the disadvantage of blue cricket for the Jazz, and is also the reason why the Lakers lost.

   Late at night, with a 7-2 record, the Lakers left Salt Lake City and returned to Los Angeles, where they will face the Timberwolves back-to-back tomorrow.

   At ten o'clock in the morning, Pharaoh got up and came to the living room, Yu Feihong said with a smile: "Husband, the things that Mrs. John sent have been received, and they have been packed in dozens of containers.

  I found some people from the pawnshops in Chinatown to identify some of them. There are many good things in them, and they are really antiques. "

   "Thousands of antiques?" Old Wang said in surprise.

   "Antiques are antiques, the value of which is hard to say. The pawnshops said that most of them are worthless civilian goods, and very few are fine products." Yu Feihong said.

   "Let's leave it alone. I'll find someone from China to come over and have a good appraisal." He thought for a while and said.

  …

   "Kevin, the last year of the rookie contract?"

  Before the game, in the tunnel, Pharaoh asked when he saw Garnett.

   "Yes, old K, this year is my contract year." Garnett replied quickly.

   "Are you going to change teams?" Pharaoh asked casually.

   "Change, change team?"

   Garnett was stunned, is Mr. K trying to recruit him?

   I'm very excited when I think about it like this. Old K actually likes him? When I think about the Lakers' lineup, they really lack a good power forward, which makes me even more excited.

However, there is still room for the Lakers to give him a 100 million yuan contract. What he wants is a 100 million yuan contract, and he will soon lose his mind to go to the Lakers. He immediately shook his head and said: "The team hopes to renew the contract with me in advance, I still want to stay with the home team."

"Oh."

   Old Wang nodded and didn't speak any more, he just asked casually.

   Garnett was a little itchy when he saw that Old K stopped talking. Old K, you are recruiting me. If you don't recruit me, how can I refuse you?

   "What do you want to say?"

  Pharaoh saw Garnett's expression of hesitating to speak, so he asked.

   "No, nothing." Garnett shook his head hurriedly.

   In the following game, due to back-to-back reasons, his teammates' physical fitness was not very good, and there were some problems in their state, but the opponent was too weak. Pharaoh led his team to blow up the Timberwolves. He scored 44 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists and 7 blocks.

   8 wins and 2 losses, on the 23rd, the Lakers played against their rivals in the same city, the Clippers.

Pharaoh invites Big Ben to lunch. Big Ben is still with the Clippers and is teammates with Nash. His performance is not bad. His defense and rebounding ability has won the trust of the team. He has renewed his contract last year. The stinginess of the ship owner, Sterling, has been very good to get this contract.

  9 wins and 2 losses, on the 24th, the Lakers began their road trip to the East and will challenge the Heat, Celtics and Digital teams successively. The first two games are a back-to-back game.

  Alonzo Mourning has already played a top-level center with weak offense and strong defense. The Heat brought in PJ Brown from the Nets last season, forming an interior combination that is very good in defense and can also attack.

  The Mavericks also brought in Jamal Mashburn from the triple-J combination last season, plus Tim Hardaway the bug, and the pretty good Vossan Leonard, who are full of outside attack power.

   Although the entire lineup is not comparable to the three first-tier championship-level teams in the East, it is also close behind and has strong competitiveness.

   However, Mourning's height and tonnage are at an absolute disadvantage in front of Lao Wang. Lao Wang has an absolute advantage in the low position. He still led the team to blast the Heat and got a record of 10 wins and 2 losses.

   With such a record, the Lakers can only occupy the third position in the Western Conference, and the top two are dominated by the Blazers, who still have a complete victory, and the Jazz, who have only one defeat.

Tim Duncan has played a sustained and stable all-round performance on both ends of the offense and defense. After more than ten games, he left the deepest impression on people. He is stable, and is a stable top-level offensive and defensive performance, and he can do anything. , the media's praise for him has once again reached a new level, and they are generous with words of praise.

  Many media used a teasing tone, believing that the Lakers made the most wrong trade. If Duncan stayed in the Lakers and joined forces with K, a three-peat dynasty would be just around the corner.

   Some media believe that if the Lakers don’t trade the old K and leave Big Dream and Duncan, the current Lakers should be stronger than the Blazers.

   The Lakers owner and management dismiss the first idiot remarks, don't they want to keep Duncan, that means they can't stay, is the management of the Suns an idiot?

   As for the second remark, they are even more dismissive. Is the combined attention of Da Meng and Duncan as high as Lao K? When they add up, does Old K create high value for the Lakers?

   As for strength, how long can the big dream last no matter how strong it is? The current alliance is not what it used to be. Once the state of Dameng declines, Duncan will be unable to support him alone. It will be even more difficult to find a partner as strong as Dameng.

   And no matter how strong Duncan's performance is, is there an old K strong?

   is a little Colangelo. It is very regrettable that the team lost such a cornerstone of the team.

   It’s just that he couldn’t do anything about it. It was the boss who insisted on trading. He didn’t even know the reason, so he sent Big Dream and Duncan to the Blazers.

   Privately, he and his father discussed the deal, thinking that Mrs. John, the boss, should have an off-market deal with Paul Allen.

   This made them a little dissatisfied with Mrs. John. This was in exchange for the interests of the team, which not only harmed the interests of the Suns, but also their interests.

   But Mrs. John assured the team that as long as the family relaxes, they will definitely increase their investment in the Suns, which made them forgive the poor Mrs. John again.

  …
