After winning against the Pistons, the Suns had the next day off, leaving only one home game against the Magic before the All-Star break.
This morning, Lao Wang conducted two systematic trainings in the morning, took a break at noon, and prepared to practice rebounding skills with Lao Zhang in the afternoon.
His points have not moved because half way through the season, he needs to recuperate his energy. He can only start new training after the original four trainings are completed, and he cannot increase the amount of training.
In fact, his current physical fitness is obviously not as good as a month ago. If he had entered the league from the beginning of the season, he would have hit the rookie wall by now. He has played two months less. But even so, because of playing
Fatai consumes physical energy, and his physical reserve problems have begun to appear, and the rookie wall may appear at any time.
However, you need to use the rebounding training card, which does not consume much physical energy. The main training content is to predict the ball's path, the second is to move the ball, and the third is to protect the ball.
The training time for this rebounder is three months, which can be completed in advance. The total training time is 100 hours. There is no need to maintain an hour of training every day. After completing the training, it will be upgraded to 5 levels.
The training requirements this time are very favorable. It requires the accumulation of experience. He can practice more if he has time. Anyway, this does not consume much physical energy.
However, training requires two assistants, one to shoot and one to rebound with him, and he also needs to hire a trainer.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Baika arrived at the appointed time.
He is a black man, the interior trainer of the Suns. He is 38 years old. He used to be a marginal player in the NBA. He has average athletic quality and average static talent. Although his skills are good, he did not get many opportunities after playing for two years and was still eliminated.
I attended Lao Wang's party for the first time, and Lao Wang paid for his assistant.
"Luo Baika, please work harder. I won't pay you for draining the water." Lao Wang shouted.
"Don't worry, old K, I guarantee you won't be able to grab the rebound easily." Luo Baica, who is 209 centimeters tall and weighs 114 kilograms, patted her chest.
"Bang bang bang..."
Next, Zhang Lili pulled a frame of the ball and started shooting continuously, while Luobaka and Lao Wang continued to compete for rebounds.
Luo Baica kept his word, fought hard for every ball, and even made small moves, completely simulating the real game, which made Lao Wang very satisfied.
I trained for three hours in the afternoon, plus a break in between, and the training ended at six o'clock.
Lao Wang was so tired that he lay on the floor and couldn't get up. He originally thought that rebounding training would not be tiring, but he was wrong. Almost every rebound required a fierce confrontation to grab, coupled with constant take-offs and continuous take-offs.
, the physical energy consumption is no less than strength training, and you can no longer practice like this in the future.
"Old K, I heard that you practiced for three hours in the morning. You have to be careful not to waste your physical reserves." When leaving, Luo Baika reminded.
"Don't worry, I know it." Lao Wang gasped.
He completed strength training and flexibility training in the morning, and also had pace and coordination training in the evening. It was essential every day. It consumed a lot of physical energy, but there was no other way. If he wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, he had to work hard.
"System, if I optimize my shooting technique, can I improve my hook level?" Lying on the floor, he asked in his mind.
"Shooting is a basic skill, but the technical movements of the hook are different from the general basic shooting movements, so optimizing the shooting will not greatly improve the hook," the system said.
He originally wanted to spend 500 points on optimizing his basic shooting skills. The main purpose was to improve his hook shot, but it didn't work. He was a little disappointed.
However, he was still prepared to spend the points because there was no use keeping them.
"System, I am optimizing the ball-handling skills now. If the flexibility and coordination are improved in the future, will the ball-handling skills be improved accordingly?" he asked.
"No, the host needs to conduct corresponding training." The system said.
"Understood."
He gave up on optimizing his ball-handling skills now, but decided to wait until the end of the month when his flexibility and coordination training improved before optimizing, which would be more effective.
"Are there any correlation between the improvement of the system, basic shooting skills and jump shooting skills?" he asked again.
"Basic skills determine the ceiling of jump shots, turnaround jump shots and other skills. The most correct way to improve is to improve basic skills first," the system said.
Well, he decided to optimize his basic shooting skills, and the 500 points were not enough, which meant that his combat effectiveness still needed to be improved.
However, he does not plan to optimize other skills. It is too difficult to accumulate points. Halfway through the season, he wants to accumulate more points and improve his sports quality in the offseason. This is the foundation.
Anyway, even if some technologies are optimized now, the improvement in strength will not be big. When the quality improves in the future, his ceiling will be raised. When the technology is optimized, the benefits can be maximized.
For example, his jump shot is only level 48. Even if it is optimized, how much can it be improved? In the past, his hook level was much higher than that of his jump shot, and it has not improved much. Now his hook shooting rate is not high and is lower than the average skill.
Type center.
"System, redeem me with a skill optimization card. I want to optimize my basic shooting skills," he said.
A large number of shooting memories formed a memory imprint in his mind, and then formed a muscle instinct. Without training, it directly became a basketball skill that Wang Tiejun could master.
However, these shooting techniques are only the most basic basic skills, and there are no complicated and high-end skills.
However, these technical movements are no longer his original shooting technical movements. Just like the hook technical movements, they have become the most suitable technical movements for his current body.
"Host, your shooting has been improved from level 50 to level 75, your low-post close-range attack has been improved from level 74 to level 78, your low-post turnaround jumper has been improved from level 20 to level 22, your hook shot has been improved from level 85 to level 86, and your throwing shot has been improved from level 74 to level 78.
Level 50 has been raised to level 55, rebounding has been raised from level 50 to level 55, and jump shooting has been raised from level 48 to level 65."
"Level 65 jump shot?"
Although many skills have been improved accordingly, Comrade Lao Wang is not very excited because the 65-level jump shot is not useful in actual combat. The poor shooting rate is just a waste of ball power and lowers his own evaluation.
He thought again, should he optimize his jump shot now?
But he endured it. It was almost the end of the month and he needed to save enough points to redeem the flexibility and coordination training cards again. This was the most important thing.
Besides, he has a higher-level hook and jump shot skills, which are not too important to him, they are just one more finishing technique.
Between hook shots and jump shots, he prefers hook shots because hook shots are more difficult to block.
When his quality improves in the future, he will optimize the hook again, focusing on improving this finishing technique, so that he can win all over the world with one move.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Magic had arrived in Phoenix.
As last year's No. 1 pick, O'Neal's peak performance upon debut was undoubtedly a big surprise for the league. Many media have even listed him as the fourth-best super center.
At around five o'clock, Magic checked into the hotel and held a press conference at the hotel at six o'clock.
"Tie Jun, the magic is here, look at the news reports."
Lao Zhang, who was preparing dinner, turned on the TV, tuned to the Phoenix TV sports channel, and then continued to choose dishes.
Soon, the sports news at six o'clock started.
"What a pervert, I'd better try to cut off 2010 on his head this time, otherwise the gap with him will be even greater." Seeing O'Neal appearing on the TV screen, Lao Wang said with a headache.
"Tie Jun, I heard from the media that this guy named Big Shark has gained weight again. He used to be 125 centimeters when he entered the league. Now I estimate it is no less than 128 kilograms. How tall are you now?" Lao Zhang asked.
"124." Old Wang said.
"There is a tonnage difference of 4 kilograms, but his body fat rate must be more than 10%, his muscle content is lower than yours, and his absolute strength will not be stronger than yours." Lao Zhang said.
"The absolute strength is about the same, even a little worse than mine, but his explosive power is several levels stronger than mine. I guarded him once in the low post, and it was very difficult and I had to use all my strength." Lao Wang said.
What he couldn't say was that not only did he have to use all his strength, but he also had to use the iron mountain support, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand it.
In his opinion, O'Neal poses a greater threat to him than the three super centers.
"Tie Jun, is your body fat rate a little low?" Lao Zhang said.
"Don't be afraid, there is no one in this world whose body is stronger than the iron and wooden stake outside." Lao Wang shook his head.
"Too."
Lao Zhang couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he thought of the sixty-centimeter-thick iron and wooden stake.
"Besides, I also have a body fat rate of 8%, not much lower." Lao Wang said.
Lao Zhang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time the interview on TV began.
"O'Neal, last time I was dunked by Mr. K, do you want to return it this time?" a local reporter said with a smile.
O'Neal's hair was pulled, his eyes widened, and he immediately said angrily: "Tell me, old K, he will dunk me again tomorrow, oh no, I will be dunked by him again, oh, damn
, Shete, I will dunk him, yes, that’s it.”
"Ha ha……"
Not only did he burst into laughter at the press conference, but Lao Wang also fell down laughing at home.
February 19th, game day.
In the morning, Jay Maloney of CAA sent a text message to Lao Wang. It contained the name and room number of a hotel. He said that the room had been reserved and asked Lao Wang to go directly to Salt Lake City when he arrived in Salt Lake City tomorrow. He would wait there.
he.
At 7:30, the two teams announced their starting lineup.
Magic: O'Neal, Tom Boltotter, Anthony Bowie, Nick Anderson, Scott Skiles
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Jarrod Mustaf, Richard Dumars, Dan Mulley, Kevin Johnson
The game was broadcast live nationwide by ABC, and the commentators were Rango Gomez and Morton Ilanton.
Elandon said at this time: "We have previewed this game a long time ago. This is a game that everyone is looking forward to."
Gomez laughed and said: "Let me tell you something first. Barkley was banned for one game for beating Ranbir, so he can only sit in the stands wearing a suit. Come on, give him a close-up."
ABC's camera turned and focused on Barkley behind the Suns bench.
Buckley, who was wearing a suit and ties, quickly reacted, glanced at the hanging screen, smiled and waved.
"He seems to be in a good mood." Elandon smiled.
Gomez smiled and said: "According to my information, Tom Chambers should have a chance to come back in the playoffs. This will undoubtedly increase the depth of the Suns' bench. I think this is one of the reasons why he is in a good mood."
Elanton said: "In addition, the Suns are still ranked first in the league, which is probably why he is in a good mood."
Gomez said: "Although I can only be a spectator in this game, the Magic cannot affect the Suns' position in the playoffs, so the Suns should not care so much about winning or losing in this game. But even if Barkley is missing,
, I think with the strength of the Suns, they should be able to win this game."
"I would rather see the battle between the Sharks and the Conquerors. Although Old K made O'Neal very embarrassed last time, he was really beaten on both offense and defense. This time after his strength improves, I hope
We will not see a one-sided situation happen," Elandon said.
"Old K was able to score 2010 on the heads of David Robinson and Dameng several times. This is indeed an improvement in strength. I think his performance should be better tonight. But we must also pay attention to restraint, maybe
Big Shark is more restrained than Old K. After all, Old K suffers a bit in terms of tonnage and does not take advantage of his strength, and this is Old K’s strongest point. Once he fails to take advantage of his strongest point, his performance will definitely decline significantly.”
Gomez analyzed.
At 7:40, the starting lineups of the two teams met in the tunnel.
When Big Shark, who still looked very young, saw Lao Wang, he immediately glared and said nothing.
Lao Wang took the initiative to say hello: "Big flush toilet, long time no see."
"Haha..." Several other members of the Suns team laughed.
"It's a big sewer, not a big toilet." O'Neill quickly corrected.
"Pfft!"
Now even the Magic team couldn't help laughing.
"Old K, you won't have an easy time tonight."
O'Neal made a fierce face, raised his arms, squeezed out his biceps, and said fiercely.
"It won't be easy for you either, so be prepared for a truce." Lao Wang said.
O'Neal's face twitched and he touched his chest involuntarily, feeling that the pain from the last confrontation with Old K was back.
At eight o'clock, the game starts.
"Crack!"
O'Neal easily moved the ball away, and the Magic attacked.
Six seconds later, the two behemoths began to confront each other in the low post on the left wing.
O'Neal carried Wang Tiejun with his left hand and asked for the position for the first time. He wanted to give it a try. If possible, of course he wanted a deep position.
Wang Tiejun also wanted to test how strong O'Neal's absolute power was now, so he did not use the iron mountain support and used pure strength to defend.
"So strong! How is that possible?"
As soon as they made contact, O'Neill exclaimed in his heart.
In more than a month, he gained a total of three kilograms of weight. How could he not be able to withstand Old K? He even felt a little untenable. Old K was obviously stronger. The result of the last confrontation between the two was
Almost, he is a little weaker.
When the ball came down, he quickly took half a step out, caught the ball with his right hand, and started playing with his back.
"Bang!"
While dribbling, he used his strength to hit the ball, causing Lao Wang to step back a little.
The next moment, his second hit came one after another, and his powerful explosive power exploded with huge impact despite having sufficient space to exert force.
At the same time, Wang Tiejun also used the Iron Mountain Bear Step. The moment he was knocked back, the Bear Step moved forward, and the Iron Mountain Back Attack exploded.
"Bang!"
The two giant beasts collided and groaned at the same time.
"So strong!"
Lao Wang was knocked backwards, his feet lightened, and he was shocked.
The iron mountain back just now was hit with room for force. The back was very powerful, but it was still hit like this. If Xiong Bu's center of gravity was not low, his lower body was very stable and he had been knocked back.
.
"Not good!"
At this moment, he knew something was wrong.
"Damn it!"
O'Neal was hit hard. He took the initiative to hit him, but with his powerful explosive power, he did not take advantage.
"I have increased the tonnage, does it mean that he has also increased in weight?" He thought to himself.
The next moment, O'Neal's third hit came, with huge explosive power, like a flood, unstoppable.
"Bang!"
Under the tremendous force, Wang Tiejun's upper body jerked back, his feet loosened, and he could no longer hold on to the ground. He was knocked back, took two steps back, and then collapsed.
"oh!"
The entire audience exclaimed. Countless Suns fans have often seen Wang Tiejun knock over his opponents, but this was the first time they saw him being knocked over by his opponents.
"What the hell!"
He was knocked over at the beginning. This was also the first time he was knocked over. Wang Tiejun himself was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but O'Neal is so strong.
"Bang!"
At this time, O'Neal turned around and stepped into the paint area, flew away from Wang, and the monster lifted into the air. After a heavy dunk, the Suns' basket was hit by more than a foot and almost collapsed.
"Oh ho ho ho..."
After succeeding, the excited big shark screamed strangely at Lao Wang who got up.
"It's too powerful. With the huge tonnage and strength, O'Neal's explosive power is the best in the league. Even the giant K. can't stop him. K. was even knocked over. This is the first time I've seen it.
He was knocked over..."
In the ABC live broadcast booth, Elandon shouted excitedly.
"Yes, yes, O'Neal, the big shark, is too strong. In other words, tonight Old K will be beaten on the defensive end again. So now we can only hope that he will not be like the last time he encountered O'Neal on the offensive end.
, so embarrassed."
Gomez shouted with equal excitement.
Elanton smiled and said: "The last time he was on the offensive end, he was actually not too embarrassed. On the contrary, O'Neal was playing around him in the second half."
At this time the Suns attack.
"Old K, give him back one!"
Barkley stood up, raised his fists and shouted at the court.
"Give him one back!"
"Give him one back!"
"Pay him back..."
Immediately, a large number of fans shouted, and then the whole stadium roared.
