In the ESPN live broadcast, Rollin immediately said: "Terry Cummings, a veteran in 1982, the second overall pick that year, the best rookie in the 1982/83 season, twice selected as an All-Star substitute, and once selected as the best second player.
Zhen, 32 years old this year.”
Oldman continued: "He was still the main forward of the Spurs last season, averaging 17.5 points and 9 rebounds per game. However, he suffered a serious injury at the beginning of this season and was directly reimbursed for the season. He only played 8 games in the regular season. Now he is back in the playoffs.
, the condition is no longer good either.”
"He is the same as Tom Chambers of the Suns. Injuries are terrible for inside players like them!" Rollin said.
Speaking of this, he reminded: "Old K's style of play is too confrontational. It is very lethal to his opponents. Antoine Kyle was injured just now, but for him, it is also very lethal.
It should be noted that this style of play will be very troublesome if you get injured."
Oldman nodded and said: "He loves dunks, which puts a lot of pressure on the knees, and the knees are the number one injury for centers. You really need to pay attention."
Luo Lin also said: "His back-to-back confrontation is fierce, so we should also pay attention to back injuries. For a low-post player who is good at low-post back-to-back play, back injuries are also an injury killer no less than the knees."
Oldman said: "Having said that, this time Old K beat Antoine Kyle, it may be a turning point, and the Spurs' strength should be affected."
"That's for sure." Luo Lin nodded.
At this time the game started and the Spurs attacked.
"Cedric?"
On the sidelines, head coach Westphal shouted and then made a gesture.
"Um."
Cedric Ceballos nodded after seeing it.
Coming to the frontcourt, Robinson dropped the ball in the low post on the left wing and was about to use his signature technique to test a jump shot when he was suddenly double-teamed.
He was caught off guard, because the Suns had never double-teamed him, not in the regular season, and not in this game. It was always K who guarded him alone, and he was not mentally prepared.
Ceballos jumped down from the left wing, and the double team was in place in one step, forcing him to turn around hastily to protect the ball, but at this time Wang Tiejun stabbed the ball with his long arm and knocked it away.
The three of them fought together and Ceballos finally got it, but Wang Tiejun still had to steal the ball.
On the sidelines, seeing the ball stolen, Westphal clenched his fist happily.
He just gave it a try, wanting to disrupt Robinson's rhythm at a critical moment, but he didn't expect it to succeed.
"This double-team was sudden. The Suns had never double-teamed Robinson before. This time they launched an attack and it was successful. At the critical moment, the Suns used their defensive tactics well."
During the ESPN live broadcast, Winston Rollin laughed.
Coming to the frontcourt, Wang Tiejun actively asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing. At this time, Barkley pulled to the right wing, paused, and then suddenly ran back, reaching for the ball at the top of the key while rushing into the paint area.
Defender Terry Cummings suffered a serious knee injury and couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and was left behind.
Kevin Johnson quickly lobbed the ball toward the basket. Barkley took the ball and jumped, making a layup directly in the air.
At 85:96, after the timeout, the Suns launched a 10:2 attack wave, widening the point difference to 11 points. At this time, there were three minutes left in the game, and the Spurs attacked and called a timeout.
In the ESPN live broadcast booth, Oldman laughed and said: "In this offense, Old K was the main offensive point. He made 3 of 3 shots, sent an assist and a steal, and grabbed a backcourt rebound. His performance was very good."
Luo Lin said: "His low post play is really good. His current style of play is much more flexible than when he first entered the league. It has more coordination of steps and fake moves. It is no longer the previous rigid push and smash without any changes.
, this style of play reduces some confrontation, and his physical energy consumption will also be reduced a lot."
"Coupled with a nearly two-point hook shot, his low-post scoring ability is really good. If his style of play hadn't consumed too much energy and limited his number of attacks, he should have been able to score more points." Oldman said with a smile.
"Have you seen it? His offensive rhythm is not fast and his movements are not fast, but his rhythm is very stable, which makes his shots very stable." Luo Lin said.
"So his shooting percentage in the past two points can reach over 40%. This is a very good shooting percentage. None of the three super centers can reach it." Oldman said.
"I also noticed that his pace and movement, like his leaning, have their own unique characteristics." Luo Lin said.
"You mean, his feet?" Oldman reacted immediately.
"Yes, his feet are like skating when he moves, always touching the ground." Luo Lin nodded.
"Well, the advantage of doing this is, I know one, it won't step on other people's feet, and it can effectively protect his ankles." Oldman smiled.
"Ha ha……"
Luo Lin laughed twice and then said: "Carter, you are right, but this will also prevent him from moving fast because his feet are close to the ground and his explosive power is not enough."
The reason why he said this was because he didn't know about martial arts steps such as Xiong Step. The emphasis is on the high-frequency vibration of the muscles of the lower limbs, which can explode at any time. There is no need to make more preparations for exerting force. The martial arts steps are just one word, fast.
.
The reason why Wang Tiejun couldn't move faster was not because of his pace, but because of his insufficient mobility.
At the end of the timeout, Dale Ellis hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, Barkley hit Terry Cummings with his back. The latter had just returned from a serious knee injury and weighed only 100 kilograms. There was no way he could withstand his back hit. After repelling the opponent, he turned around and entered the paint area.
"Oops!"
Robinson returned to defend the basket, and Barkley threw the ball over Robinson's head. He suddenly thought of Old K behind him.
"Bang!"
The next moment, he was knocked down by the huge force and fell to his knees under the basket.
"Bang!"
As the basket rang loudly, the whole court burst into flames, and countless home fans raised their arms and cheered wildly.
"A beautiful dunk in space, a flying pig assisted Old K, and Old K dunked on Navy Admiral David Robinson. He made the super center kneel under the basket..."
"Old K, just fuck him like this!"
In the commentary box, the two commentators kept shouting excitedly.
"Damn it!"
Robinson was kneeling under the basket, looking very embarrassed. He quickly turned over from kneeling to sitting, and slapped the floor in annoyance.
"Hey, top student, please step aside. Do you want me to jump over your head?" Wang Tiejun's voice sounded above his head.
"Shet!"
Robinson ignored the elegance and quickly turned over and got up.
In this game, the Spurs failed to come back at the last moment, but their morale was destroyed.
David Robinson took over the offense at the last moment, but his physical fitness was already very poor. The Suns implemented double teams again and missed 4 consecutive shots.
At the end, 91:105, the Suns won by 14 points and won the G1 game.
Wang Tiejun played 41 minutes, making 8 of 12 shots, with a shooting percentage of 66.6%, and 4 of 8 free throws. He scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.
Robinson played 42 minutes and made 10 of 26 shots. He made 6 of 13 shots in the first half and only 4 of 13 shots in the second half. His shooting percentage was 38.5%. He made 4 of 5 free throws and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 1 rebound.
Data of steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.
The best player in the game was Barkley. In 42 minutes, he made 13 of 25 shots, a field goal percentage of 52%, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers, and 3 fouls.
In the ESPN live broadcast booth, Winston Rollin summarized the game after the game and said: "The Suns do not have enough substitutes, insufficient scoring ability, reduced rotations, and the main lineup must play longer.
Tonight, the five starters all played 40 minutes. This should attract the attention of the coaching staff. This is a series and physical distribution is very important."
Carter Oldman said: "It's easy to get injured if you play for a long time. The Suns can't afford injuries now, especially the main players. They can't have problems."
Rollin added: "Tonight three people from the Suns scored 20 points. Barkley, Old K, and Kevin Johnson also scored 21 points. Dan Marley scored 13 points. Ceballos scored 6 points. The five main players combined.
Scored 90 points, but the bench lineup only scored 15 points in total. Danny Ainge scored 8 points, Tom Chambers scored 4 points, and the others only scored 3 points in total. Two substitutes did not score a point.
恁
This ratio is too unbalanced and relies too much on the main lineup. Once injuries strike, or one of the main players fails to perform, it is very likely, so this is a huge hidden danger, and problems are likely to arise later."
"So you are more optimistic about the Spurs advancing?" Oldman asked.
Rollin thought for a while and said: "I don't know the extent of Antoine Kyle's injury. If he cannot come back, the Spurs' strength will be seriously affected.
Between the two teams, the strength is still about the same. It depends on who has better luck, whose on-the-spot performance is better, and whose tactics are more reasonable."
Returning to the locker room, Paul Westphal first summarized the game and then said: "All the main players must be prepared. You will play a lot of time in the next series. I hope you will keep playing."
Keep your body in good condition and try to rest as much as possible when not competing to recover from fatigue."
"Old K, how are you?" Buckley asked.
"good."
Although he said this, Wang Tiejun actually felt very tired.
The second series has just begun. If everything goes well, there will be the Western Conference Finals and even the Finals. He now has a clearer understanding of the NBA schedule.
If he wants to perform more sustainably, he must reduce some of his confrontations, reduce his shots at the basket, and increase some of his hook shots near the basket, sacrificing efficiency to reduce physical consumption.
At this time, assistant coach Lewis said: "Guys, the Bulls have just ended the game. 84:91. The Bulls won by 7 points. Jordan made 16 of 30 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 53.3% shooting rate, and 11 of 11 free throws."
"A house like this has another 40 hits, how efficient can it be?"
"11 free throws, that's a lot of breakthroughs. If we can reach the finals and meet the Bulls, we have to be careful about his breakthroughs."
Everyone started talking about it.
Lewis looked weird and said: "But the strange thing is that he didn't grab a single rebound today, as if the rebound was deliberately avoiding him."
"How much did the Bulls lose in rebounding?" Barkley asked.
"Not lost, 34:40, 6 more."
Lewis laughed: "The Bulls made 0 of 7 three-pointers, and the Cavaliers made 5 of 16 three-pointers, but the overall shooting rate was 3 percentage points lower.
In terms of steals, the Bulls had 9 steals and the Cavaliers had only 3. The Bulls had 3 blocks and the Cavaliers had none. The Cavaliers made 4 more turnovers.
The Bulls won on defense, stealing and blocking shots, forcing their opponents to make mistakes, allowing them to take 6 more shots than the Cavaliers, and with a higher shooting percentage, the victory was assured."
At this time, head coach Paul Westphal said: "Let's not talk about the Bulls for now, that's too far away, let's talk about the Spurs.
We did not put enough pressure on the Spurs from the outside. Our outside defense was not good enough. Instead, we had as many as 8 turnovers from the outside in this game, but the Spurs only made 4. This problem must be solved. It is not that we have no defensive ability on the outside.
We are better than them, but we are not focused enough on the game..."
Kevin Johnson and Dan Malley nodded. Although they were All-Star players, they both longed for the championship. So even though Paul Westphal was a rookie and had little status in the team, they were at this time.
You must also follow instructions from the other party.
An hour later, the post-match press conference was held.
All the four main players of the Suns participated. They were all very happy to win the game, with smiles on their faces.
"Charles, what are your thoughts on the outcome of this series?" The first person to ask was a reporter from the New York Sports News.
"I have a group of very good teammates. We will definitely advance. I am confident about this." Barkley said firmly.
"That is to say, do you think your former teammates in Philadelphia were not good?" the reporter asked.
This question disgusted Barkley, who looked unhappy and quickly said, "I didn't say that, they are all very good. I just said that my current teammates are very good."
At this time, the host asked someone to take back the microphone and then handed it over to a reporter from the local sports newspaper.
The local reporter changed the target and asked: "Old K, you played 2010 tonight, and your efficiency is also very high, much higher than David Robinson. But you are facing a super center, but your performance is better than yours."
Divac is better, why is that?"
Lao Wang smiled and said: "The Lakers double-teamed me, but the Spurs did not. This is the first reason. The second reason is that I think Divac's defense is not weaker than Robinson."
The third reporter was also a local Phoenix Daily Telegraph reporter. He asked: "Mr. Coach, our rotation tonight is very small, not as good as the first round. The main force played for too long, and the only substitute lineup is Danny Ainge."
You have stable scoring ability, have you considered this issue?"
Paul Westphal looked solemn and said: "Of course the coaching staff is aware of this problem, but we have no other way at the moment. There are only so many people we can trust. Chambers' condition has not returned yet. I hope he can recover as soon as possible."
come over."
This problem has passed like this. Everyone knows that the playoffs are a time when the main players are the main players. The rotation of all playoff teams will be reduced. At this time, it depends on the performance of the main players. Basically, eight or nine people rotate. Very
At least there will be more than nine people, just to give the main force some time to breathe.
After the press conference, the Suns took the bus back to the training base, and then drove home from there.
When Wang Tiejun returned home, he was not sleepy for the time being, so he put a basin of water in and took a hot bath.
"Medicated bath?"
While soaking, he suddenly remembered something.
In my hometown, some aristocratic families who practice martial arts will take medicinal baths from an early age if possible. This can allow the muscles and bones to grow better, enhance physical fitness, and also eliminate the damage caused by martial arts training to the body and avoid injuries.
However, he has never tried it because medicinal baths are too expensive. Many martial arts families do not have the financial ability. His family has been poor farmers for eighteen generations and has difficulty eating. Where can he have the money to buy medicinal baths?
He hurriedly got up, put on a bath towel, went to the living room, and dialed the home phone.
"Hey, who is it?"
It was noon in China at this time, and the family should be preparing for lunch. The call came through quickly, and it was my father Wang Aiguo who answered the call.
"Dad, it's me!"
"Oh, sister, Tie Jun called."
After Wang Aiguo heard Wang Tiejun's voice over there, he did not speak to him, but immediately shouted at the top of his throat into the kitchen.
Next, Wang Tiejun chatted with his parents for a while, and then got back to the topic.
"Dad, that's what happened. Please go to some martial arts schools in the city and inquire about it. I want to buy a medicated bath recipe now," he said.
"Medicated bath?"
Wang Aiguo paused for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Tie Jun, these things are just the bottom of the box. They won't be sold. If you want to take a medicated bath, you can only buy the medicine they have prepared."
"Dad, throw money, there are always people who need money, throw more," he said.
"Are you throwing away money again? How much money should you give? If it's less, people won't do it, and if it's more, it won't be worthwhile." Wang Aiguo stammered.
Wang Tiejun thought for a while, and combined with the current domestic situation, said: "Fifty thousand or one hundred thousand is fine. You tell them, I will use it for myself and will not spread it to others."
He thinks the price is about the same. The average salary in first-tier cities in China is only 300 yuan a month, and 100,000 yuan is very high.
"Fifty thousand and a hundred thousand for a prescription?"
Wang Aiguo's heart was beating wildly, and he glanced at Sister Liu next to him, who said worriedly: "Tie Jun wants to buy it, just buy it. He suddenly asked for a medicinal bath prescription, maybe he was injured somewhere."
"Mom, I'm not injured. I just want to take a medicinal bath to strengthen my body and make it stronger." Wang Tiejun heard this and explained quickly.
"Hey, it's fine if it's not hurt, it's fine if it's not hurt." Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
"Okay, Tie Jun, dad will go and inquire about it right now," Wang Aiguo said.
"Dad, please pay attention. Go to those martial arts families to inquire about effective prescriptions. Don't let them hide their secrets. This has to be agreed upon in advance, including the brewing and boiling of medicinal materials. The details must be written down..." Wang Tiejun
warned.
"Don't worry about this. After spending so much money, it must be done well. After dinner, dad will go find out." Wang Aiguo said.
"In addition, in terms of price, it doesn't matter how high it is, the main thing is that the recipe is better." After another reminder, Wang Tiejun hung up the phone and went to take a bath again.
