At 7:30, the starting lineup was announced and the substitutes came on.
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Cedric Ceballos, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson
Warriors: Victor Alexander, Te'Lon Hill, Chris Mullin, Latrell Sprewell, Tim Hardaway
After appearing on the stage, Lao Wang glanced at the front row and soon saw Julia Roberts waving to him, and quickly ran over happily.
"Hey, Julia, it's great to see you here."
"Hey, old K, I hope you can have a wonderful performance tonight."
The two chatted for a few words on the sidelines, and then Lao Wang went to warm up.
At eight o'clock, the game starts.
"Boy, you look very excited to hook up with Miss Roberts!"
"You look sour."
"I don't."
"You have."
When preparing to jump the ball, Wang Tiejun and Victor Alexander had a pleasant chat.
"Crack!"
Regardless of wingspan, height, or even bounce, Lao Wang was one step ahead of his opponent and pushed the ball behind him.
Before he could get down in the low post, Barkley had already completed the offense, using his strength and size to force his way past Te'lon Hill, cut inside to the basket, and then received a pass from Kevin Johnson and hit a layup.
Looking back, the Warriors played a fast break from the outside, and their strong outside strength was fully demonstrated.
During the transition between offense and defense, the little bug Tim Hardaway stepped down immediately, and Chris Mullin was responsible for the quick release. The former received the ball at the midline, and then quickly rushed into the frontcourt with the ball. He made an emergency stop and stopped on the right wing.
The dividing line is forty-five degrees.
Kevin Johnson, who was chasing him, also made an emergency stop, but he had already rushed forward half a step. When he turned around, Xiaochong had already made a three-point jumper.
"No, it was a pass, I was fooled."
Seeing Xiao Chong's action when he shot, he knew it was not a shot.
Sure enough, when he looked back, he saw that Sprewell had dropped Dan Malley, received the pass under the basket, flew up, and completed a powerful dunk.
"Stop down, let's play positional warfare, don't play fast break with them." Head coach Paul Westphal shouted loudly on the sidelines.
Lao Wang Kong ran back and forth, panting and ran back to the low position on the left wing, and began to settle down.
Victor Alexander's height and wingspan are seriously lacking, and his mobility is no better than that of Lao Wang. His tonnage can barely compete with Lao Wang. He is also a human shield center, so forward and side defense are useless, and he can only choose top defense.
.
He wanted to push Lao Wang outwards, but after giving it a try, he gave up and immediately switched to full defense, harassing with his left hand, pushing his right elbow against his weak waist from time to time, and pushing his front knee hard against the side of Lao Wang's left knee.
All the little tricks came out.
Kevin Johnson made a pull-out gesture, and everyone, including Barkley, pulled away, stretching the Warriors' defensive formation.
"Comfortable! As a man, I also need a sense of security."
Lao Wang felt like his surroundings were deserted. The Warriors guys who had ill intentions toward him all moved away from him. They wanted to come back and double-team him. The difficulty doubled, and his sense of security instantly improved.
"In the past few games, we rarely used open tactics. Is that intentional?" I thought about it for a while, then immediately gathered my mind and started asking for the ball.
The ball was passed and he firmly caught it with his right hand.
The next moment, the ball was handed to his left hand, and his head suddenly twisted to the right, causing the swing of his arms, which caused the waist and abdomen to twist. Then he turned around and changed legs, switching his center of gravity to his left foot. At this point, he had completed
Turn low.
At this moment, his right leg, from the toes to the calf, to the thigh and gluteus maximus muscles, were all vibrating at high frequency, ready to exert force at any time.
This is the force-generating technique brought to him by martial arts steps. It is a turning force-generating technique that is completely new to basketball. Through this kind of force exertion, his turning speed has been improved by a certain amount.
"squeak!"
With a bang, while dribbling with his left hand, and with the harsh friction sound of sneakers, the bear step started, his right foot stepped out, and his body had already passed the opponent and stepped into the paint area.
"pretty!"
On the sidelines, Suns head trainer Aaron Nelson praised.
He can be sure that in a short period of time, Lao K's turning speed has surpassed the previous level. He used to be second-rate among insiders, but now he is considered first-rate.
This speed is not as fast as O'Neal or the three super centers, but a first-class turn and slide is enough to deal with more than 90% of the centers in the league. There are only a few fast light centers and a few super centers.
Can't deal with it.
When Lao Wang slid to the bottom, the Warriors quickly retracted their defense, but how could they make it in time when they were pulled away?
"Bang!"
Lao Wang jumped up from his step and dunked hard with both arms. With all his strength, the basket suddenly collapsed.
"Pa bang..."
Sitting among a group of well-heeled Warriors fans, Julia Roberts applauded the dunk.
"Damn, this is wrong. There are a few more springs. Is this a new one?"
Lao Wang released his hands holding the basket, and the collapsed basket immediately returned to its original shape. He could see several springs between the basket and the basket frame. No matter how strong he was, he could not buckle the springs.
ah!
"Damn old K, let's see how you steal our basket."
In the corner of the court, a staff member of an arena looked proud.
Before the game, they had completed the installation of the new basket frame, and it was almost impossible to tear the basket off.
The new basket is not only fixed directly on the basket frame, but also has springs added to it, which can relieve the force and is difficult to be torn off by force.
"It's over, there are no points to earn now."
Lao Wang muttered depressedly and ran to the backcourt.
4:2, Warriors attack.
Chris Mullin received the ball at the left three-point line and singled Ceballos.
"Bang!"
The 30-year-old future Hall of Famer made a dribble from his crotch, and then used a fake shot to easily beat Ceballos, and finally took off calmly and shot a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
At the beginning of the game, probably because Mullin's hands were not yet warm, the ball really missed the ball. It was a little short, hit the basket and bounced, and was caught by Lao Wang.
The Warriors had no height at all at the basket, and the center was only 206 centimeters tall. They almost gave up on offensive rebounds. Victor Alexander went back to defense without going up to grab the ball.
"Bang!"
The Suns came to the frontcourt, Dan Malley ran to catch the ball, and made a throw from the edge of the paint area, but failed to hit.
Lao Wang was blocking a position with his opponent. The two of them were crowded together, both trying to push the opponent away.
At this time, he suddenly had an idea. Can I use the Iron Mountain Back to give myself some advantages when grabbing the board?
For example, when stuck, his tonnage is slightly larger and his strength is also larger. With his absolute strength, he can also have some advantages in the stuck position, but that consumes a lot of physical energy. And if he can rely on the iron mountain to rely on
By playing skills, you can save some physical energy consumption.
"mine!"
This time the landing point was right on the heads of him and Victor Alexander. He suddenly hit an iron mountain back that was neither light nor heavy, shaking the opponent's center of gravity when he was about to take off. Then he seized the opportunity to take off and hit the ball.
Caught it.
"It works!"
After taking a step forward, he dunked with one arm, and with a bang, he scored another goal.
"He pushed me. He pushed me just now, and he committed a rebound foul."
An angry Victor Alexander went to the referee and accused Lao Wang of foul play.
The referee shook his head. He saw clearly that during the two blocking positions, Old K made no hand movements at all, nor did he lower his shoulders or raise his elbows. He just squeezed with his chest. This was the most reasonable confrontation.
Impossible to blow the whistle.
"Small, this is how strong Tieshan is. I can defeat you with my chest without using my hands." Lao Wang chuckled proudly.
While returning to defense, he opened the system to see if what he had just learned could improve his rebounding level.
"Ha, level 80?"
He couldn't believe it, but he was directly promoted to level 7. It seemed that this realization should be very important and could help him get an advantage when grabbing rebounds.
Because his mobility is not enough, this is the most critical reason that limits his rebounding level, just as Mourning's height limits his rebounding ability, so he was raised to 7 levels at once, which made him very happy.
In the future, I will follow Barkley to learn how to predict the ball path and improve his mobility. With his height, I believe he can be improved to level 90 or above.
"Whoosh!"
Xiaochong suddenly held the ball on the right wing, attracted the attention of the defense, and suddenly made a cross pass that penetrated the Suns' perimeter defense and passed it to Mullin on the weak side.
"Whoa!"
Mullin once again singled out Ceballos, faked a shot and hit a long two-pointer, which was quite easy.
6:4, Suns attack.
When Old K entered a strong position under the basket and compressed the Warriors' defensive formation downwards, Kevin Johnson tried his hand for the first time and hit a three-pointer over the little insect.
9:4, Warriors attack.
Xiaochong responded by beating Kevin Johnson, making a pull-up jump shot from the right wing, and hit one for two points.
9:6, Suns attack.
Next, the two teams went back and forth from the outside, each missing two or three goals, and there was constant sound of iron. Only Mullin was very stable, making 2 of 3 shots, and once again hit a mid-range shot, bringing the score to 9:8, only falling behind.
One point.
Lao Wang ran back and forth with me for a few times. The two bastards on the back line were too lonely today. He had no chance, but he was very good at rebounding. In just 5 minutes, he grabbed 4 rebounds, including an offensive rebound. This way
If he goes on, he gets double figures in rebounds in a single session, and he might be able to get some reward points in this regard today.
"Come on, you bastards, just throw away the shots. I don't care about the shots anymore. I just want rebounds today." He ran back to the frontcourt again and muttered angrily.
"Put it in, put the ball in."
On the sidelines, Paul Westphal got a little angry and shouted loudly.
As a rookie, he was a bit unable to hold his own in the Suns. There were too many star players on the team, so once he came on the court, his control was greatly reduced.
Probably because the media believed that the Warriors' perimeter could suppress the Suns' perimeter, Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley really held their breath today and wanted to show off, but the result was not very good.
Especially Dan Mulley, who missed 3 shots, and Kevin Johnson, who was better, 1 of 3, seemed to have hit one.
This time, Kevin Johnson came to the top of the arc and instead of hitting the ball by himself, he followed the coach's instructions and gave the ball in.
Others immediately pulled away, opening up the Warriors' defensive formation for Lao Wang, creating an opportunity for him to challenge his opponent one-on-one.
"Finally you see me!"
Lao Wang was so excited that the next moment he caught the ball with his right hand, his head suddenly swung to the right, his arms waved to the right at the same time, and with his left foot as the axis, he moved his right foot to make a turn and slide.
"not good!"
Victor Alexander instinctively took a step back to defend, hoping to block Lao Wang's path to the bottom, but he was fooled.
Lao Wang's slide turned and then turned upwards. His left foot was still on the axis. After turning around, he stepped into the paint area with his right foot. Then he stood up sharply and faced the basket. With a flick of his right wrist, he moved forward with his right foot.
He pointed forward and hooked the ball toward the basket.
At this time, one step away, Victor Alexander could only look at the ball and sigh, defending with his eyes, completely powerless.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the basket and hit one of the last two points.
"pretty!"
Paul Westphal applauded the goal.
In the past two points, the average player's shooting percentage is actually the lowest in this position close to the basket but with strong defense, but Old K has height and can rely on his play to get rid of the defender to a certain extent. In addition, now
With his faster turning speed, he can shake off defenders. He believes that in this area, Old K's hook will be more threatening.
"Look, brother, I gave you an assist." When returning to defense, Lao Wang shouted at Kevin Johnson.
"Hell, you're holding the ball and attacking on your own." Kevin Johnson replied angrily.
"Indirect assists are not bad either." Lao Wang chuckled.
"roll!"
What is the data of indirect assists? Kevin Johnson laughed and cursed.
11:8, Warriors attack.
This time, after missing two shots, the future Madman threw a three-pointer over Dan Marley, making 2 of 4 shots in the first half and scoring 5 points.
11 draws, the Suns attack.
Poor Barkley, as the team's leading scorer, he hit a ball at the beginning of the game today, and then he didn't touch the ball. This time he finally got a chance, and he caught the ball and hit Hill, but his hands were cold for a long time and he couldn't.
Hit.
Fortunately, Lao Wang was lucky today. The rebound came to him and landed on his and Victor Alexander's heads.
He made another heavy hit, took the opportunity to block the ball, and then grabbed the rebound.
The reason why it is neither light nor heavy is that it is the most suitable. If it is too heavy, it is unnecessary, and if it is light, it is useless. It can achieve the effect while saving physical energy.
He didn't hit the ball himself because Teiron Hill had already helped defend him. He was double-teamed, and the physical exertion of the hard hit was very high.
"Bang!"
He passed the ball to Barkley who was left open behind Hill.
"Whoa!"
Barkley took off and threw, but Hill turned around and returned to defense, but it was too late.
"He pushed me again!"
Victor Alexander yelled at the referee angrily.
"Do you think I'm blind? That's not how you cheat to commit a foul. If you do this again next time, I will call you a technical foul even if it's at home."
The referee looked at Victor Alexander coldly, ignored him, and then ran towards the Warriors' frontcourt.
"I can't bear to blow his whistle. Is he your father?"
Alexander was about to cry, but he clearly pushed him. Why was the referee blind?
"Bang!"
Mullin missed a shot.
"mine!"
With an excited shout in his heart, Lao Wang protected a defensive rebound.
"Bang!"
Looking back, the Suns attacked. Ceballos took his first shot and was almost blocked by Mullin, but the ball missed.
Today the rebound really took the initiative to look for Lao Wang, and it came to him and Victor Alexander again.
"It's still mine!"
He repeated his old trick. When they were crowded together, he first used the iron mountain support to shake the opponent's center of gravity, causing the opponent's upper body to sway. Then he took the opportunity to block Victor Alexander behind him, occupying a favorable position.
Grabbed this offensive rebound.
"Push me again? You bastard!"
Victor Alexander, who was behind him, was angry and pushed his elbow on Lao Wang's lower back.
When he was observing the rebound, he looked at the sky and could not observe Lao Wang's movements. He only thought that Lao Wang was pushing him, but in fact he was wronging Lao Wang. Lao Wang was not pushing him, but hitting him.
"Beep!"
The base referee blew his whistle and pointed at Victor Alexander.
"why?"
Victor Alexander spread his hands, looking extremely surprised, and asked the referee why he called him.
The referee ignored him, but made an elbow elbow to the referee who was looking over, and pointed at Victor Alexander.
The referee nodded, pointed at Alexander, and committed a defensive foul. At this time, the number of free throws came, and Old K made two free throws.
"Cut me again?" Lao Wang had a headache.
Next, he missed the first free throw.
Warriors coach Nelson put his hands in his pockets. When he saw this, he smiled and signaled to the scorer's table for a substitution.
He replaced Victor Alexander and replaced him with a substitute inside man, Ross Welker, and warned him: "Listen, Ross, if you can't guard him, then foul, we want the ball, give it away
He goes to the free throw line. What you have to do is use up all six of your fouls on him."
"ok."
Looking at the head coach in surprise, Wilk nodded.
A few rounds later, Lao Wang got the ball in the low post and was about to attack when he was fouled.
He made another two free throws and was replaced after a dead ball, ending his first quarter.
He made 3 of 3 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist in the first eight minutes of the quarter. Among the 6 rebounds, 3 were offensive rebounds. It can be seen that in terms of rebounds today, the Suns
What an advantage the team has.
As soon as he came down, the cunning old Nelson replaced the main center Victor Alexander.
After the first quarter, at 23:18, the Suns led by 5 points on the road.
The outside touch of both sides was average, especially the Suns' shooting percentage was lower, so the score was not high.
The Warriors are more efficient on the outside, but they have no advantage inside. They rarely attack inside, and their rebounding disadvantage is too great, so the number of shots taken is seriously lower than that of the Suns. If the Suns hadn't wasted a lot of ball rights on the outside, the point difference would have been even greater.
In the second quarter, Lao Wang led the bench from the beginning, while the Warriors sent in Ross Welker.
The Warriors went on offense and threw in a two-point ball.
It was the Suns' turn to attack, and after they were all stretched out, Lao Wang wanted the ball in the low post on the left wing, and substitute point guard Knight passed the ball down.
This time, of course, Wilk did not foul immediately, because now Old K is not attacking. If he wants to foul, there will be no free throws. That is to say, the Warriors cannot get the ball and pay the foul in vain. After only four fouls in a single quarter,
, only then can he use the killing tactic.
After Lao Wang got the ball, he used his left foot as the axis, twisted his head to the right, swung his arms to the right, and made a sliding movement.
As his upper body turned to the right, Wilk's center of gravity was shaken behind him. However, the range of his sliding movement was not large. It only slightly shook the opponent's center of gravity. Wilk's feet only moved slightly.
.
The next moment, he stopped sliding, turned around, and quickly returned to the upward facing position, and the back fight began.
He observed Wilk's position through continuous turns, so this time he relied on hitting, not to test, but to exert force.
"Bang!"
Tieshan's kick started, and the huge force of the kick made the 105-kilogram Wilk groan, suddenly lean back, and fall heavily to the floor.
"oh!"
Amidst the exclamations of the home fans.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Lao Wang turned around and stepped into the paint area, flew up, dunked with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket.
Next, he hit him like this again and it was successful.
Now his turn speed is faster, which makes his low attack speed faster, so when others are open, it will be difficult for the Warriors to double-team him immediately after receiving the ball, unless they shrink the defense from the beginning.
, but that will give the Suns' perimeter more space.
"5-for-5 shooting, this young man is very strong! Our inside strength is too poor!" Old Nelson murmured.
He called a timeout and wanted to rearrange his tactics.
Even if he couldn't guard the Suns' inside line, he would speed up the pace of offense and defense transitions. He believed that with Old K's speed, he would never be able to keep up with the Warriors' small lineup.
