"No, no, Dameng respects me very much." Buckley said quickly.
Lao Wang went up and patted Barkley's bald head, put his arm around his shoulders and walked in. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, I know you are embarrassed to say you were bullied by him. When I see him tomorrow night, first of all
Give him a good beating before talking."
"Nonono, old K, don't mess around, I beg you!" Buckley shouted quickly.
"Ha ha
Kevin Johnson and others laughed behind him.
Next, everyone sat down to eat barbecue, drink juice, and chat.
"Old K, are you still gaining weight?" Buckley asked with concern.
"Well, I hope to eventually keep the weight between 130 and 135 kilograms. I am confident that at this tonnage, I can maintain the current mobility and sensitivity, or even go faster." He said.
"impossible!"
Barkley immediately expressed disbelief. Only I, a flying pig in the air, could do that. How could you, a floor player, do it?
I remember when he was drafted, people were not too optimistic about him, saying he was full of fat, but he has been dragging this fat with him from 1984 to now, and he is still flying around in the sky.
"You will believe me when I succeed in my dream. Just don't cry when you watch us win the championship." Wang Tiejun said with a chuckle.
"This meat is good, please eat more.'
Buckley smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
In the final analysis, he felt that he was sorry for Wang Tiejun and did not choose to stay in the Suns to assist Lao K for one year.
But Lao Wang was only interested in the topic of the championship now, and he brought it back forcefully, saying: "Jordan failed to start a dynasty. He wanted to start over, but the Bulls regarded you as their biggest opponent. I want to prove that they are
Wrong."
"Old K, what do you want to do?" Buckley was startled and asked quickly.
He smiled and said seriously: "Kill you, advance to the finals, and prove that the Bulls' choice was wrong. They should not choose that type of center, but should choose a human shield like O'Neal.'
"O'Neal is a human shield? Old K, you are arrogant!'
Barkley's face twitched. With the strength of their Mosaic team this season, they can't say that they will be able to defeat the Bulls who have strengthened the fifth position. Why is Old K's confidence so strong? Or does he have some back-ups?
?
He knew that Wang Tiejun's strength was improving rapidly, and this time he made throws again. Maybe he had been holding back his big moves.
Wang Tiejun laughed and said with a smile: "The tonnage of the large sewer is over 130 kilograms. What is he not a human shield? I bet that guy wants to use his fat body to resist my beating."
"
"Pfft, haha..." Everyone laughed.
After Barkley laughed, he felt that this made sense. With a thicker fat layer, he could indeed carry the weight better and reduce injuries.
"Old K, if your tonnage exceeds 130 kilograms, will your knees be able to bear it for a long time?" He suddenly asked, thinking of the position where the big center is most vulnerable to injury.
Kevin Johnson also nodded at this time and said: "It is true that once a center suffers a knee injury, his condition will immediately decline off a cliff. If his skills are not good enough, he may become a marginal player. Old K, you have to think carefully."
Wang Tiejun had already considered this issue and had communicated with the system. The system told him that his weight gain would also include increasing the strength of his lower limbs and increasing the protection of his knee joints. As long as he did not put too much weight on him during competitions and training.
Pressure on the knees, such as excessive dunking, will not create additional burden due to weight gain.
This is also the reason why he wants to optimize his throwing shots, reduce the number of hard slam dunks under the basket and add some throwing hooks, which can reduce the wear and pressure on the knee joints.
In addition, daily medicated oil massage is also useful, which can keep his joints in a healthy state.
Of course, he will definitely have unavoidable injuries in the future, but that is a problem that a professional athlete must face. On the evening of March 13th, the Suns challenged Mosaic away from home.
Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Robert Horry, Dan Mulley, Kevin Johnson
Mosaic: Olajuwon, Barkley, Mario Eli, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith
At eight o'clock, the two teams announced their starting lineups.
Horry was startled when he heard the head coach read his name, but his natural big heart did not show any abnormality.
Ceballos was shocked to hear that he was not in the starting lineup.
"Brother, don't worry, maybe the price will return to the starting lineup next time." Wang Tiejun saw Ceballos's appearance and comforted him by saying that the relationship between head coach Westphal and the Suns players was good. At this time, he explained: "It's just
A lineup try, Cedric, go warm up.'
Ceballos smiled bitterly, nodded, stood up and left the locker room with the other substitutes.
He knew very well that his playing style was incompatible with Old K. By increasing his tactics and shots, he occupied Old K's basket space.
The game was broadcast live nationwide by ESPN, and the commentators were Winston, Rollin, Carter, and Oldman.
At this time, Rollin analyzed: "The Suns changed their starting small forward. Ceballos, who is good at breakthrough layups, was taken down, and Robert Horry got the starting opportunity.
I think this is a good try, because Horry has the breakthrough jumper ability that Ceballos does not have. His mid-range shot is more accurate and he is more threatening from the outside. At the same time, he also has Ceballos' breakthrough ability, and he also
Very good at dunking.'
Oldman laughed and said: "Ceballos's playing style is too monotonous. Of course his dunks are very exciting, but his playing style is too monotonous and he will be severely restricted. He needs to try to change himself."
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili analyzed: "The Suns won all four games and got off to a wonderful start, which impressed the media who were not optimistic about them.
But the first four opponents, since the strength of the Spurs with the Admiral is only an average strong team, and the lineup cannot be compared with the Suns, so four consecutive victories cannot fully explain the problem.
Then tonight’s game will be very interesting. The Mosaic team is the favorite team to win the championship that the media is optimistic about. If the Suns win, it will be good to watch and directly slap in the face those media who are not optimistic about the Suns team.”
Su Qun smiled and said: "I hope Lao K can perform well. The competition for the center position in the Western Conference is too strong."
"Yes, yes
Zhang Liji nodded and said with a smile: "The performance in direct confrontation with a super center like Dameng is the most illustrative of the problem.
Wang Tiejun played very well against David Robinson in the last game, limiting his opponent's efficiency, and he also played very efficiently. I hope that I can perform well in this matchup against Da Meng."
At this time, the starting lineup came on, and the two teams met in the tunnel.
Reporters from both teams were with them, and the cameras were on.
Seeing Dameng coming over, Wang Tiejun immediately shouted loudly: "Comrade Olajuwon, congratulations, hug Charles' lap, you finally have a chance to win the championship."
The cameraman reacted very quickly and immediately focused the camera on Dameng without waiting for the reporter's instructions.
"Poof!'
Kevin Johnson and Dan Mulley laugh.
Seeing Old K openly making fun of Big Dream, Ironman Green, who had just joined the Suns, was also dumbfounded.
Robert Horry quietly retreated to the back and played with Dameng for a year. He knew that this old gangster was not a good person and was very vicious.
"asshole
When Dameng heard this, his eyes were filled with fire.
"Hey, old K, don't cause trouble!'
Barkley suddenly felt dizzy, hugging Da Meng who was about to rush forward, and persuaded him: "Forget it, Hakeem, I'm just holding your thigh, I'm just joking."
"Ha ha
When Lao Wang heard this, he burst into laughter.
Dameng glared at Barkley angrily, "Damn fat pig, who are you mocking?"
A guy who has collected four major honors in a single season, a guy who defeated the strongest Jordan who averaged 41 points per game in the Finals has already won the championship. Do you need to hug his lap?
He felt too frustrated. He was in the same draft class as Barkley and Jordan. Now these two guys have won the championship, leaving him empty-handed. Now he is still being ridiculed and is about to get angry.
He glared at Old K fiercely. This damn rookie actually won the championship in his first year. He couldn't help but cursed: "Boy, you are the one holding the thigh. If you don't hold Barkley's thigh, you can win the championship."
To the championship? Show me another one this season 2
Lao Wang snorted coldly: "If I take it, what will you do?'
Furious, Dameng snorted angrily: "Then I'll hug your thigh."
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment.
Dameng, what kind of shameless brand do you have? Are you so thick?
The same goes for everyone else, including the teammates around Dameng. Everyone is looking at Dameng in a daze.
Dameng regretted it as soon as he said it. Why did he say this? It was so embarrassing. He thought about how to explain it, but he had no chance.
"Dameng, be careful in the future and don't say what's on your mind casually, haha!"
At this time, the visiting team started to play. Wang Tiejun, who was the core, dropped a trash talk and ran out first. "Damn, that's not what I mean." Dameng yelled from behind.
"Hakim, are what you said true? Are you talking out of your mind?" Reporters from the two teams seized the opportunity and began to interview.
"Of course not, I'm just joking. Yes, even if I'm crazy, I won't hug anyone's lap. I always believe that one person defending a city is the most correct choice." Seize the opportunity, Da Meng
Deny it quickly.
"well!'
Hearing this, Buckley next to him couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I really wanted to defend a city by myself, but Philadelphia traded me and destroyed my golden status. Leaving the Suns is a broken thing. I really can’t blame me. If you want to blame it, blame Philadelphia. Once it starts, it will
I can't take it anymore.
At half past eight, the game starts.
Dameng won the jump ball and started a mosaic attack.
Barkley moved one step inside the three-point line on the right wing, allowing Dameng to single out Wang Tiejun in the low post, denying Ironman Green a chance to help defend.
Wang Tiejun's method of defending against David Robinson is to retreat. You can shoot from the outside, but you can't rush in and hit. That's my territory inside.
When Dameng wanted to take the position, he used all his strength to push it outwards.
But Dameng is a super center after all, with stronger confrontation ability than David Robinson and better pace. During the confrontation, he kept shaking to prevent Wang Tiejun from hitting him, then broke through, turned around, cut inside, and quickly moved along the baseline to
Cutting under the basket.
'Don't run!'
Wang Tiejun quickly turned around to pursue him.
If it were last season, it would be impossible to catch up. If you are overtaken, you will be overtaken.
But now his athletic quality has improved a bit. Although he is still half a step behind, he has not lost that much, and he still has the possibility of catching up.
Seeing Dameng cutting inside, outside point guard Kenny Smith is also looking for passing opportunities.
At this time, Dameng moved to the right side of the basket. Seeing Wang Tiejun chasing him, he suddenly made a movement to catch the ball, which affected Wang Tiejun.
Wang Tiejun quickly looked toward the top of the arc and saw that there was no ball, so he knew he had been fooled.
At this time, Dameng suddenly turned around, flexibly pulled back to the left side of the basket, stuck Wang Tiejun under the basket, and received Smith's pass.
Wang Tiejun immediately hit Tieshan's bodyguard from behind, trying to hit Dameng, but Dameng's movements were very coherent. The next moment he caught the ball, he turned around and not only avoided Tieshan's bodyguard, but also
Completed the layup.
Because his back hit missed the target and was shaken, he was unable to make any defensive moves.
“Ugh!’
The ball fell steadily into the basket.
"Defending a black hole, you still want to win the championship with your strength? I will blast you into scum tonight!" After succeeding, Dameng started talking trash.
"I have the championship, but you don't have it, and you may not have it in this life, and you can't get it by hugging Barkley's lap."
Wang Tiejun's trash talk instantly shut up Dameng, but the former's trash talk continued: "Remember your words and come to Phoenix next season. I'm very generous and will give you my thighs."
"you?'
Da Meng was so angry that his face turned livid.
When he came to the defensive end, AC Green pulled out. Barkley did not follow, but stayed at the right waist position, assuming a posture of guarding the penalty area.
As long as Wang Tiejun dares to go in, he will be double-teamed immediately. Even if he takes the ball in the low post on the left wing, he will immediately be double-teamed by his help.
Wang Tiejun took a low position on the left wing and shouted at Barkley: "Charles, are you here just to work for the coward Dream?"
"Bang!
Dameng elbowed him in the stomach.
Damn boy, you called me a coward again and dared to destroy the brotherly relationship between me and Barkley. I wish you a son without an asshole.
Buckley smiled bitterly and remained silent.
He feels a little regretful now. Old K should have some opinions on him. He would have known better if he had assisted him for a year.
In fact, Wang Tiejun was just joking and spewing trash talk for fun. He had no problem with Barkley leaving. After all, the fat man helped him gain a foothold in the Suns, and this time the Suns gave up Barkley because of him.
It's considered that he stole Barkley's core position, so how could he have any objections?
"ball.'
Reflexively blocking the position, he moved his left arm and returned the elbow to Dameng. Then he used his elbow to block the opponent, and opened his right hand to ask for the ball. "Shrink!"
Mosaic head coach Rudy Tomjanovich clenched his fists and shouted loudly.
In his opinion, the few regular season games with the Suns are a preview of the future playoffs, and now he must try as many possible tactics as possible.
Shrinking the defense will undoubtedly achieve the purpose of restricting Old K, but it will also open up the Suns' outside perimeter. How to achieve the best defensive effect between the contraction and contraction depends on how he grasps it and how the players execute it.
It's a pity that in order to trade Barkley, the team sent the two main starters of Dameng's knife guard Thorpe and Horry to the Suns, which reduced the team's defense and court height a lot.
Green, who was left two steps open by Barkley, asked for the ball at the top of the arc, but Kevin Johnson passed the ball down.
The ball flew from the top of the arc to the low left wing, and Mosaic's small forward Mario Eli quickly shrank toward the paint area.
Mario Eli is a striker and guard, measuring 196 centimeters and 95 kilograms. Although the tonnage is small, he is very fast.
At the same time, Barkley emerged from under Wang Tiejun and double-teamed.
In this way, when Wang Tiejun just received the ball, he was blocked by Dameng from behind. Barkley was on the lower right hand and Mario Eli was on the front. There was only no one on the upper left hand, but point guard Kenny Smith was already staring at him. , looking at him with eager eyes. As long as he dares to break through from above, he will definitely be outflanked.
Six big hands blocked the space for him to shoot and pass, while constantly squeezing him, not giving him any space to exert force, and trying to squeeze his center of gravity to make him make mistakes.
"here.'
One step inside the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing, Mario Elie let him go and Horry opened his hand for the ball.
Wang Tiejun, who was holding the ball in both hands, quickly threw it over there, and Mario Elie in front quickly jumped to intercept it.
But the next moment, he threw a backhand, and the ball suddenly passed over his head and Dameng's hands, and was thrown to the basket behind him. He faked and then made a real pass. It was too sudden, and Dameng behind him didn't react. Come over, the ball flew over, and when he turned his head, he saw AC Green under the basket.
"Bang!
The ball was a little wide, and Green took a step outside to catch the ball, then stepped forward and dunked, slamming the home team's basket.
"Beautiful! So beautiful! Three people double-teamed, but Wang Tiejun still calmly passed everyone with fake tools and sent a fatal pass to the basket." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
Su Qun said very excitedly: "He didn't even look to see if his teammates were under the basket, he just passed the ball.
"Barkley double-teamed him, so AC Green must be open, and it makes perfect sense for him to choose to pass the ball from behind to the basket.
Su Qun said with a smile: "The fake action was so realistic that even teammate Horry was fooled and thought he was really passing the ball to him. Only in this way can I realize it with Dameng, otherwise with Dameng's jumping and shot-blocking abilities , if you are prepared, it is very likely that the pass will not go in." "Yes, Dameng is averaging 4 blocks per game, and his defensive ability is the best in the league." Zhang Li said with a smile.
At this time, the Mosaic team advanced to the frontcourt, Kenny Smith missed a jumper, and Wang Tiejun blocked the dream to protect the backcourt rebound. But looking back, Kevin Johnson also missed a shot, and Barkley grabbed the rebound.
Mosaic attack, after stretching out, Barkley beat the iron man Green, and when he reached the edge of the paint area, he turned over and hit a jumper.
