In the evening of the 26th, the Suns team bus slowly drove into the American West Arena.
Wang Tiejun chose the unused number 33 for his jersey number. It is a magical number and is considered auspicious. It was also his previous number in the sports school.
At 7:40, when he came on as a substitute, Wang Tiejun followed his teammates to the tunnel and immediately felt a huge buzzing noise coming towards him. An invisible pressure pressed on his heart from the outside in.
Almost instantly, the adrenaline in his body began to surge, and the pressure brought him excitement instead of nervousness.
But Suns fans were very indifferent to him, and some racists even made humiliating gestures towards him.
"Old K, don't pay attention to that garbage." Danny Ainge shouted loudly.
"I know." He nodded and replied loudly.
During this period, the title "Lao Wang" gradually evolved into "Lao K", which is the abbreviation of Lao Wang.
At around 9:30, halfway through the final quarter, 77:92, the Suns were 15 points behind and called a timeout.
The Suns actually perform better than the Knicks in other positions, and the reason for falling behind is that the gap at the fifth position is too large.
Ewing played 25 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 26 points and 10 rebounds. His performance was very good.
Especially rebounding, his rebounding ability is the worst among the three super centers, but he has grabbed 10 today.
Head coach Paul Westphal made a quick substitution at the fifth position. Three weak substitutes played inside for a period of time, but they were all very unsatisfactory. To put it simply, they were outplayed by Ewing on both ends of the floor.
It was shattered. If Barkley hadn't scored 2010 numbers in the third quarter, the score difference would have been 20 points in the morning.
As for Wang Tiejun, he hasn't had a chance to play yet.
"A rookie, he definitely won't have a chance to play."
On the bench, Mark West gave Wang Tiejun a cold look and said to Oliver Miller next to him.
Miller glanced at Wang Tiejun and nodded, but said nothing.
He knows his identity very well. West still has some seniority, but he doesn't. He can't talk nonsense in the team.
"Old K."
During the timeout, Westphal hooked his fingers at Wang Tiejun and motioned for him to get up.
"Ha ha!"
Wang Tiejun screamed excitedly and jumped up from his seat.
Just give me a chance, I will rot if you give me some sunshine, no, I am an inspirational man who will shine if you give me some sunshine.
"Damn, you actually let him play, what do you think?" Mark West, who was slapped in the face, muttered angrily.
Next to him, Oliver Miller's face turned even darker. His performance was average. What if this Chinese guy performed well and took away his time?
"On the defensive end, use your strength to push Ewing away from the paint area and keep him away from the basket. On the offensive end, prepare to grab offensive rebounds and play a second offense. If the opportunity is not good, pass it out."
Westphal warned.
"I understand, leave it to me, coach, I won't let you down." Wang Tiejun promised, patting his chest.
"Okay, our team's Chinese coolie is on the field."
After the timeout, when Wang Tiejun came on the court, the commentator immediately yelled in a weird voice.
The Suns' home fans were indifferent and didn't give any applause.
At the beginning of the game, the Suns attacked, and he entered the penalty area and headed towards the basket.
Ewing immediately came forward to prevent him from getting close to the basket.
As soon as the two came into contact, Ewing was pushed back a little. The winner of the battle of strength was instantly determined. He should be weaker.
"Is the power really that strong?" He was surprised.
Although I saw the Chinese knocking over West twice with my own eyes, I couldn't experience it personally unless I faced him personally.
However, his lower body was very powerful, and he immediately pressed his knee against Wang Tiejun's knee. At the same time, his left elbow hit his lower back from time to time, and he immediately stabilized himself.
Wang Tiejun stood still when he reached the top, and immediately launched with all his strength. He stopped his feet, twisted his waist and hips, and the six forces merged into one, and he was able to fight instantly.
"Bang!"
A huge force hit his chest, and Ewing groaned. His lower body fell apart and his center of gravity was immediately lost.
The referee stared at Wang Tiejun, the whistle in his mouth ready to blow at any time.
However, he clearly saw that this yellow man, who appeared in the league for the first time, did not lower his shoulders or raise his elbows. This was not a physical foul, but a normal physical contact.
If there is even a little extra movement, he will definitely call a physical foul. Ewing is absolutely qualified to enjoy the star whistle.
"Bang!"
The second hit came one after another. Ewing completely lost his center of gravity, staggered back, and completely lost his defensive position.
"oh!"
The whole audience exclaimed.
"How is that possible?"
The commentator's eyes dropped to the ground.
Wang Tiejun reached the basket and reached for the ball at the top of the arc.
But Ewing came up again and implemented a forward defense. How could point guard Kevin Johnson pass the ball to him?
The ball went to Barkley, who hit a mid-range shot over Oakley's head.
Knicks offense.
Ewing enters the low post on the left wing. His best position in the low post is on the left side of the basket, at the waist or near the low line.
As a low-post killer, his turning and shooting movements are not as fast as Dameng's, and he doesn't have as many fancy moves. For example, his feint skills are average, but his left and right shoulders can turn around, no matter what the defender is trying to do.
Whether on his left shoulder or his right shoulder, he can quickly turn around in the opposite direction, shoot a jump shot, or go for a layup and dunk, making it difficult for his offense to be interfered with.
"Patrick, kill the Chinese coolies behind you."
Knicks point guard Doc Rivers passed the ball to Ewing and yelled at the same time.
"Ha ha!"
The dull Ewing had no reaction, but Charles Oakley, one of the four villains sitting under the basket, laughed.
When Ewing caught the ball, Wang Tiejun immediately pressed his chest against his back. The former tried to dribble and arched the ball, but failed and stopped arching.
Suddenly, his right shoulder pushed back, and he slid down.
Wang Tiejun's turning speed couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and he was passed over completely.
"Bang!"
After taking one step into the paint, Ewing exploded with a powerful one-handed dunk that silenced the American West Arena.
"Look, Mr. Colangelo, I really don't understand why you signed this Chinese coolie, he's like a wooden stake."
The on-site commentator joked.
"Because the team really has no one available, can't you see?" Several assistant coaches of the Suns couldn't help but vomit.
"Old K, your defense needs to be more fierce and proactive, don't stand there like a fool." Barkley yelled.
"clear."
Wang Tiejun nodded, indicating that he understood.
Returning to the frontcourt, this time he did not go to the basket, but settled in the low post on the left wing.
On the right wing, Barkley got the ball again. Seeing that Ewing was not under the basket, he turned around and passed Oakley, holding the ball and driving in.
"Crack!"
However, Ewing turned back to defend the basket in time and slapped Barkley's dunk.
"..."
The Suns fans at the scene were about to cheer, but were choked back by the big shot.
The ball bounced off the board, and Wang Tiejun was on the left front side of the basket, and he caught it with his reaching hand.
There is Ewing under the basket, but at this moment, in his eyes, there is only the basket.
He pinched the ball in his right hand, almost to the point of bursting. After taking a step forward, like a giant beast, it flew towards the basket one step away.
Ewing reacted very quickly, turned around, jumped up, and pressed down with one hand.
"Crack!"
The shot was very accurate, right on the ball.
"What?"
However, You Yin was only shocked at this moment. The ball did not fall, and a huge force pushed his hand away.
"It's over!"
At this moment, he knew what was waiting for him.
"Bang!"
The extremely violent sound of the basket exploding resounded in the American West Arena, and the huge basket frame was directly knocked down by a foot by Comrade Lao Wang.
"Bang!"
Under Wang Tiejun's collision, Ewing fell directly to the basket.
"oh!"
Seeing super center Ewing being blocked and dunked by Wang Tiejun, all the Suns fans in the audience screamed in surprise.
"yeah!"
Then, huge cheers sounded.
"Kacha kacha..."
Behind the baseline, reporters in the media gallery were frantically pressing their shutters to record this scene.
