Chapter 166 Tie Jun, Tie Shan, is crooked by training!
The game started at 8:30. At 8:00, the two teams announced their starting lineups, and then the substitutes began to warm up.
Bulls: Bill Cartwright, Grant, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Danny Ainge, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson
At eight o'clock sharp, CCTV's real-time broadcast officially started.
"Viewers..."
Domestically, Son Jinping's voice rang out on televisions in thousands of households.
"It's starting, Dad, Mom."
In the living room of a luxurious suite in an international hotel, Erya excitedly pointed at the TV and shouted.
"Look, Mom and Dad, the narrator is Zhang Lili, Brother Zhang." Da Ya also pointed at the TV and shouted.
"Hey! It's him, it's him."
"Why is there no iron army?"
Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei sat on the sofa and stared at the TV, but after watching for a long time, they didn't see their old son.
"She probably hasn't played yet, the game hasn't started yet." Da Ya explained.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. Didn't Brother Zhang just say that he is the substitute now, and I am the main force, and the main force has not come out yet." Erya explained.
At this time at Beijing Film Academy, Yu Feihong also turned on the TV and tuned to CCTV 5, ready to watch the game.
She came back from filming a movie in the United States and was about to graduate. She had already decided to stay in school, but she also decided to study abroad for a few years first. This was the dormitory assigned to her by the school.
"Boom!"
There was a knock on the door. She went to open the door and saw that it was her classmates Liu Yunlong and Shao Bin, as well as her classmates Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu from the class of 1990, who were one class behind her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Teacher Yu, let's watch your TV. This is not the NBA today..."
Huang Sanshi, who was smiling and talking, saw the TV screen in the living room facing the door, and said in surprise: "Hey, you are watching it. It turns out that you also like to watch basketball games, senior sister?"
"Come in."
Yu Feihong opened the door and asked doubtfully: "Don't you all like football? I've only heard you talk about football in the past, and I've never heard that you like basketball. Why did you suddenly think of watching a basketball game?"
"Senior sister, which boy hasn't played basketball in school? Didn't I hear that a compatriot from our country named Wang Tiejun plays in the NBA in the United States? I was curious, so I made an appointment to have a look." Shao Bin explained.
"Sister, how many months have you been in the United States this time? What's going on in the NBA? Is the level high?" Jiang Wu asked.
Yu Feihong rolled his eyes at a few people and said angrily: "You are indeed fake basketball fans. In February, CCTV broadcast the NBA All-Star Game live in real time. You must have never watched it, right?"
Several people laughed and shook their heads.
Huang Sanshi smiled and said: "I'm usually busy and don't pay much attention to it. Today, Shao Bin mentioned it and we wanted to take a look."
Yu Feihong said: "From what I understand, the level of the NBA is the highest among professional basketball in the world. Have you heard of the American Dream Team at the Olympics last year? That is the best group of stars in the NBA."
The other three people shook their heads, and only Shao Bin said: "I know Jordan, he is known as the Flying Man, but I don't know about the others."
"This time Lao K is competing with Jordan for the championship." Yu Feihong said.
"Old K, who is this?" Several people asked in confusion.
"Old K is Wang Tiejun. He is from Hebei. He is the main center of the Suns. He is a very good player. For a guy like you, if he rubs against you, you will have to fly several meters away." Yu Feihong said.
"Really?" Shao Bin looked unbelieving.
"Senior sister, it looks like you know so much about basketball?" Huang Sanshi asked curiously.
"Well, I got to know a lot more about it in the United States during this period." Yu Feihong said.
At this time, at 8:15, Phoenix, American West Arena, started the game.
"boos"
First, the visiting team came out, and even Jordan received huge boos.
It should be said that he has a fan base in away games all over the United States. His sneakers sell well all over the United States and he can get support from fans when playing away games. But now it is the finals. Even his local fans are on the side of the Suns.
, will not support him.
Of course, America's West Arena also arranged tickets for the Bulls' 2,000 visiting team. Now these 2,000 visiting team fans are cheering as hard as they can, but they are so outnumbered that they are suppressed by the boos of more than 10,000 home fans.
.
In addition to the Bulls fans, the celebrities sitting in the front row all stood up and hugged Jordan one by one and gave him the greatest support.
"ah!"
It was the home team's turn to take the field, and huge cheers rang out.
"Now welcome our leader, the league's top offensive point guard, Lightning Kevin...Kevin Johnson!"
Under the host's passionate call, Kevin Johnson was the first to appear, and the cheers of the home fans went up to a higher level.
"Now let's welcome Dan Danley, one of the Suns' greatest shooting guards."
"Third place, please invite the penalty area sweeper, conqueror Caesar, the most powerful rookie center in the history of the Suns, old kkkkkkkk!"
Under the host's passionate introduction, Wang Tiejun trotted out of the players' tunnel, and the same huge cheers rang out.
He spread out his two long arms and high-fived the fans on both sides of the tunnel.
Generally, the ticket price for this position will be more expensive, because except for the front row of seats, only this position has the opportunity to come into contact with the players.
…
"Look, Mom and Dad, my brother is out." In the hotel, Erya excitedly pointed at Wang Tiejun who was traveling at the speed of light and shouted.
"Uh-huh."
Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei nodded excitedly, staring at their son on the screen without blinking.
But immediately, the two elders were a little surprised, because the Wang Tiejun on TV was much stronger than the son in their impression.
The same goes for Daya and Erya. They haven't seen Wang Tiejun for more than a year. Now at first glance, except for their faces, their bodies are completely different.
Before Wang Tiejun was imprisoned, he was very tall and had a big frame, but he only had a frame and was not very strong. After a year in prison, he was completely different when he came out. He was taller and thinner. He didn't eat enough inside and was in trouble again.
Long body, hungry.
But now it has changed again, tall and strong, like a mountain.
…
"This is Wang Tiejun, old K?"
"So tall and strong?"
"How tall is he?"
Beiying, Huang Sanshi and others looked at the TV and shouted.
"215 centimeters, I heard the weight is 120 kilograms, I don't know the details." Yu Feihong said.
"Senior sister, you know him so well, don't you know him?" Huang Sanshi asked.
"We know each other, otherwise how would I know? He later invited me to watch one of his games. Otherwise, where would I be watching a basketball game today?"
Yu Feihong said it naturally, without any hesitation.
"We met in the United States?" Huang Sanshi asked.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I met him on the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. He was so tall and strong. I was shocked at the time." Yu Feihong said with a smile.
…
"Tiejun, here."
At this time, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping had already arrived at the scene and waved to Wang Tiejun, asking him to come over for an interview.
In fact, there is no need to shout. Wang Tiejun was looking for the CCTV camera after he appeared on the stage. When he saw it, he immediately ran over, waved his hands towards the camera with excitement and shouted: "Mom, Dad, eldest sister and second sister, have you seen me? Have you seen me?"
?”
"I saw it, I saw it..."
In the hotel, Wang Aiwang's family burst into tears.
"Tie Jun, please say hello to the audience across the country." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Wang Tiejun waved to the camera and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Wang Tiejun. I don't know how many basketball fans there are in China. I hope more friends will like this sport in the future."
"Old K, please say a few words."
At this time, several reporters gathered around, including the reporter from Japan's Tokyo TV station who had interviewed him several times.
"No, now is not the time for interviews."
But Wang Tiejun refused them all and ran onto the court to warm up.
While warming up, he saw an acquaintance, Mark West.
"idiot!"
Mark West was scolding himself. When he saw Wang Tiejun, he wanted to slap himself twice.
Originally I was going to eat in Chinatown, Manhattan, New York, and just have a quiet meal, but I was busy and wanted to go to that street ballpark. As a result, my boss Colangelo picked up Old K, and eventually I was replaced and traded.
.
The only thing that can comfort me now is that he is traded to the Bulls. He is very likely to win a championship.
"Hey, Mark, it would be great if you stay on the team, we are going to win the championship this year." Wang Tiejun greeted.
Tanishiki
"roll!"
Mark West was so angry that he had a nosebleed. If the Suns won the championship, he might be so angry that he had a brain attack.
"Ha ha!"
Lao Wang laughed haha.
After warming up, the players return to the bench.
"Hey, I know you, who are you?"
Seeing Larry Bird talking to Jordan, Lao Wang looked like he couldn't remember who he was.
Larry Bird was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Rookie, I can hit 50 on your head now."
"Ah, I finally remembered your name, Larry, Larry Johnson." Lao Wang shouted.
"Shet, it's Bird. My last name is Bird, not that damn Johnson." Larry Bird swore.
"Hey, it's the honorable Johnson, not the damn Johnson." Magic Johnson, who was laughing next to him, shouted quickly.
"Damn it!"
Larry Bird could only apologize to the magician quickly. When he went back to settle the score with Lao Wang, Lao Wang had already run away.
"Michael, you have to be careful with this rookie, he doesn't have eyes for you." He turned back to Jordan and said.
"He doesn't even have you in his eyes. That bastard can't even remember your name." Jordan immediately shouted back, then turned around and left.
"Damn No. 23, damn rookie, I hope you can fight on the court." Larry Bird said angrily.
"Haha..." Johnson laughed again.
At 8:30, the G1 game of the finals officially started.
Jump ball, no suspense, Wang Tiejun moved the ball to Kevin Johnson behind him, and the Suns attacked.
He approached the basket directly, and Bulls center Bill Cartwright, a 36-year-old veteran, followed him.
Cartwright was 216 centimeters tall and weighed only 111 kilograms. He was old and frail, so he did not take top defense or move forward.
He couldn't jump up at all, so he adopted a side defense, a wrapping side defense, which meant wrapping his arm around one of Wang Tiejun's arms and hanging his body on it.
Moreover, he was very experienced and knew that Wang Tiejun was right-handed, so he tied his right arm.
The Suns were spreading their tactics, but the Bulls' defensive formation did not shrink. The individual defense followed closely. Even veterans Danny Ainge and Pippen did not relax too much.
In front of the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson did not sit, but stood on the sidelines, staring at the basket.
The Suns' interior combination is ranked first in the league in terms of offensive strength. The defensive pressure on the interior today is very heavy.
His defensive strategy is to defend close to the basket. If he encounters Lao K's strong attack at the basket, he can cut if he can't defend. He cannot let Lao K score wantonly under the basket or let him show his momentum.
Due to his playing style and physical limitations, Old K has never taken many shots and his scoring ability is limited. He knows this very well, but he still will not let Old K attack at the basket, so he arranged a double-teaming tactic under the basket.
Because if there is no double-teaming, Old K's physical energy consumption will not be large and the offense will inevitably increase, so the basket must be double-teamed.
However, they did not arrange a contraction of defensive tactics and would not give the Suns room to take shots from the outside at will.
At the top of the key, Kevin Johnson was dribbling the ball carefully. Jordan was a top defender. He was 13 centimeters taller and 16 centimeters heavier than him. When he switched to guard him, he was under great pressure and did not dare to be careless at all. His nerves were very tense.
tight.
"Boy, do you have the guts to take action? Do you dare to take action?"
Jordan was talking trash while closing in, compressing Kevin Johnson's dribbling space.
At this time, Kevin Johnson suddenly pulled the ball back, and at the same time took a step back to widen the distance from Jordan. Then he quickly joined the ball and pushed it toward Jordan's head.
Jordan reacted instantly, flicked his foot, immediately lifted into the air, and blocked the shot.
"Fake news?"
But as soon as he jumped up, he found that he had been fooled and the ball was not passed.
"Damn it!"
The next moment, as he was falling, Kevin Johnson passed the ball for the second time and the ball passed over his fingers.
As soon as the ball flew over Jordan's head, Grant, who was pulled out from the right wing, immediately turned around and began to help defend the basket.
"Crack!"
Wang Tiejun grabbed the ball with his left hand. From the corner of his left eye, he noticed that Grant was quickly double-teaming him. Behind Grant was Barkley.
He can pass it to Barkley at this time. If Grant turns back to defend, there will be a small gap.
But as a big center who calls himself a sweeper in the penalty area, when he gets the ball under the basket, he doesn't know how to pass it and has to do it himself.
The moment he picked up the ball, his fingers were locked, and the basketball was severely deformed.
"Well!"
With a twist of the waist and abdomen, he hit the immovable iron mountain to the right. The veteran Cartwright grunted, and the two arms wrapped around him loosened.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, he moved his right foot to the right, and the second iron mountain shot erupted within a second, and Cartwright was immediately knocked to his feet.
At this time, Grant rushed to his side, but he turned back (right) and blocked the former on the right. At the same time, he took advantage of the situation and made another iron mountain support. Grant, who could not reach a hundred bulls, fell down in response, and then he turned around.
During the sudden explosion, he held the ball in his left hand and hit the basket.
"Bang!"
A heavy and strong sound of bombing the basket sounded, and the huge basket frame trembled.
"yeah!"
The American West Arena was filled with joy.
"Oh, powerful sweeper of the penalty area, conquer the Bulls' penalty area. That's your territory tonight." The on-site commentator roared excitedly.
"Look, I scored a goal and I'm still playing so well." Erya said excitedly in the International Hotel.
Wang Aiguo said with some confusion: "Why does Tie Jun's hitting action look so familiar?"
"Dad, I am the king of backers. He used the Iron Mountain Backrest twice just now, but his movements were not standard. He must not have practiced for a long time." Da Ya guessed.
Wang Aiguo nodded repeatedly and sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't practice, you guys have such a temperament that you don't know how to deal with it when you have a bad temper, and you will cause trouble!"
Beiying, in Yu Feihong's dormitory, Huang Sanshi and others were shouting.
"Wow, the defenders were knocked down. Isn't this Wang Tiejun a little too aggressive?" Shao Bin said in surprise.
"Do you know his nickname? Zone Sweeper." Yu Feihong said.
"What's the meaning?"
"This nickname is so powerful!"
Out of curiosity, several people asked quickly.
"He always knocks down all the defenders under the basket before attacking. When he dunks, no defender can stand under the basket. Didn't you just see that, both defenders fell at his feet?
." Yu Feihong smiled.
"So this is the restricted area sweeper. It sounds very powerful as expected." Shao Bin said excitedly.
"It looks good, let me deduct one more." Huang Sanshi said excitedly.
Liu Yunlong said regretfully: "I didn't plan to order food or drink. Watching the game like this is not good enough!" As he said this, he looked at Shao Bin.
Jiang Wu also looked at Shao Bin, with a look of regret on his face and said, "I wish I had brought two dozen beers here."
"Xiao Wu, go and buy some food." Could Shao Bin not understand what the two of them meant? He immediately took out a few RMB and handed it over.
"Okay, I'm going."
Jiang Wu quickly took the money and ran out without being polite at all. Shao Bin was the richest among them. He was the first to take the role. He has played the male lead several times now. He is a standard wealthy man.
The game continues, the Bulls attack, and Jordan holds the ball on the right wing.
His offensive tactics today focused on breakthroughs, and his main task was to create lethality and limit the Suns' inside line.
Without limiting the Suns' two major insiders, rebounding, inside offense, and outside breakthroughs, they would be at a disadvantage. Just relying on outside offense alone would not be able to beat the Suns.
Dan Mulley was guarding Jordan. At this time, Grant came up to pick and roll and pulled Barkley out. Jordan took the opportunity to break through and rush to the paint area.
Wang Tiejun returned to defend the basket and met Jordan's impact.
Without Ceballos, Danny Ainge is old, his movement speed is not as fast as before, and there is no one to protect him. Therefore, the coaching staff's requirements for him to defend the basket are to defend if he can. If he cannot defend, don't foul easily.
When it comes to impact, don't jump easily, don't reach out randomly, just block it in front.
He now took a step forward, and when Jordan rushed over, he stood one step in front of the left side of the basket, blocking Jordan's breakthrough like a mountain.
This position gives him a chance and space to turn around and pursue defense, and it also prevents him from being dunked. No one can dunk on his head more than one meter away from the basket.
Jordan changed direction, bypassed him, took off, and layup with his left hand.
He turned around to block the shot, but it was too slow. When he took a step back to the basket, the ball went right through the basket and was caught by him.
The Suns did not arrange a fast break strategy, so he threw the ball to Danny Ainge, who was running over, and ran towards the frontcourt.
"Mr. Wooden Stake, I will chop 50 off your head today, do you have any objection?" Jordan retreated while spewing trash talk.
"You should still worry about your inside teammates being able to hold on for a little longer. They are vulnerable to me and are so weak." He spat back in a cold voice.
Jordan's momentum couldn't help but suffocate. With only one attack at the basket, Cartwright and Grant were knocked down. Tonight, be careful.
