Chapter 240 Mr. Wells Smith, I have not actually heard your name
Supersonic offense.
Rainman played very hard today. He was knocked down during a dunk and was almost injured. He had another hit just now. This time he held back his energy and tried to dunk one.
This time he ran very aggressively, trying to use his speed advantage to get rid of Lao Wang and then cut to the basket. He believed that Payton's ball would definitely reach his hands.
However, Lao Wang's athleticism is not what it used to be. He can't be dropped by Rainman just by running away. Moreover, as a defender, Rainman is not a magic shooter. He doesn't need to be so stubborn and guard the edge of the paint area.
That’s it.
At this time, the SuperSonics started a pick-and-roll tactic, and Sam Perkins blocked Lao Wang. Rainman took the opportunity to bypass the two of them and quickly cut into the paint area.
Payton saw the Rainman's open space. After a quick move, he not only got rid of Kevin Johnson's defense temporarily, but also found a passing gap. He pulled the ball up and pushed it in with one hand. The ball was like a scalpel.
Likewise, he passed through the gap and flew towards Rainman who was cutting into the restricted area.
Rainman, who had just cut into the penalty area, received the ball and was very excited. With just one step forward, he could dunk the ball to the basket. Although he couldn't dunk on Old K, he could still let out the bad breath in his heart.
The next moment, he jumped up with a step, his head already popped out of the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it in the air, like a tomahawk, just waiting to be struck.
"..."
When countless home fans saw this, their mouths opened in unison, and the next moment they would cheer.
"Quick! Quick!"
When Rain Man cut in from the side, Wang Tiejun quickly turned around and made the fastest lateral movement he could.
"squeak!"
The sneakers made a harsh friction sound, and with a sideways step, he barely kept up with Rain Man's cutting speed.
At this time, the ball suddenly flew past him and fell into Rain Man's hands. He saw Rain Man catch the ball and then jumped up, and immediately jumped up, stretching his left arm and blocking the basket with his big hand.
above.
His bullet speed is still not as good as his opponent's, so he can only block the basket, which is considered a defensive method of waiting for the enemy.
"Crack!"
Rainman crazily held the ball and slashed down, but a big hand suddenly appeared above the basket, and he hit the ball right on top of the big hand.
The next moment, the ball bounces upward.
"Damn it!"
Being slapped again was brought to his doorstep by himself. At this moment, Yuren's eyes were about to burst, and he was so aggrieved that he almost vomited blood.
"mine!"
Lao Wang got up again and grabbed the basketball on Rainman's head, but the latter landed unsteadily and failed to take off in time.
The SuperSonics quickly returned to defense and the Suns advanced steadily into the frontcourt. Wang Tiejun took the ball in the low post on the left wing and forced the opponent's defense to shrink into the paint area. Then he suddenly made a cross pass to Danny Manning.
"brush!"
This pass broke the Sonics defense, Danny Manning got a wide open shot, calmly shot, hit a shot and scored two points.
In the next two or three minutes, Lao Wang mainly supported and distributed the ball, using his strong ability to attract double-teams to continuously create opportunities for his teammates.
Danny Manning's talent and ability are indeed good. With a height of 208 centimeters, he can shoot jumpers from the outside. After the SuperSonics' defense was compressed, even if other positions changed defense quickly, the height of the defenders was not enough. He received Wang Tiejun's call
After the ball is distributed, it is either open or misplaced, so the efficiency is very high.
It's the Suns offense again.
Wang Tiejun was positioned in the low post on the left wing. After receiving the ball, he hit a backhand that knocked Kemp's center of gravity. He immediately turned around and slipped into the paint. After one step, he hit a flying dunk.
"Bang!"
As the rim trembled, the Suns team cheered.
Neither Kemp nor the German Schrempf, who was preparing to help defend on the weak side, could keep up with the offensive rhythm.
After improving his physical fitness, his offensive speed is faster than before and there are more changes.
In the past, Tieshan was used more to attack with force and sweep away all the defenders, which consumed a lot of physical energy. Now he doesn't have to attack like that. He can use less physical energy to perform more varied attacks.
This kind of attack is not necessarily more difficult to defend than the previous desperate attack, but he can participate more in the offense and provide the team with more offensive energy.
In the past, it could be said that he had three axes. After finishing the work, he would watch his teammates playing. Now he is no longer three axes, but five axes and seven axes.
This kind of attack makes it more difficult for opponents to double-team him.
But many times, he still has to face double teams or even triple teams.
This time, he was double-teamed by three people under the basket.
When he received the ball under the basket, his position was not very good. After a slight adjustment, the SuperSonics' double-teaming speed was very fast, and they completed the double-team on him before he could release the ball.
The SuperSonics assembled Kemp, Perkins, and Schrempf, all tall men over two meters tall with six big hands, completely blocking his passing lanes.
"Clamp him to death!"
Crazy Carl yelled from the sidelines.
A person's attention is limited. Lao Wang no longer has time to observe the vacancies of his teammates. There must be two teammates outside who are vacancies, but his goal can only be the basket closest to him, and it must be the basket.
As a big center and a low-post monster, he must maintain an extremely strong desire to attack the basket, dare to take action in double teams, and have the invincible belief to destroy all opponents.
No matter how many open spaces there are outside, as long as he gets the ball under the basket, his first choice must be to attack the basket, and the second is to distribute the ball.
The next moment, the so-called trapped animal still fights. Like a trapped animal, he frantically started beating him continuously.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After three attacks as fierce as the waves, the slightly lighter Germans and Perkins fell with a crash, and Kemp also staggered back.
"oh!"
The whole audience exclaimed, and the faces of countless home fans showed expressions of disbelief.
"Bang!"
Having completely wiped out all the defensive forces under the basket, Wang Tiejun rose up wildly and dunked hard with both hands. The basket suddenly sank to the bottom and collapsed.
"..."
The whole place fell silent, the commentator was speechless, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the giant beast.
"Hoo ho ho..."
Wang Tiejun stood next to the collapsed basket, panting heavily, scanning the silent court with ferocious eyes like a ferocious beast. His momentum alone suppressed the SuperSonics' home momentum.
"Kacha kacha..."
In the media box behind the baseline, dozens of reporters, frightened and pumped with adrenaline, were frantically clicking their shutters.
In this game, the Suns finally won, 115:102, winning by 13 points.
The Sonics also had three players score 20 points, but the Suns still relied on their superior offensive capabilities inside to win with higher efficiency.
Wang Tiejun made 11 of 17 shots in 40 minutes, a shooting percentage of 64.7%, and 8 of 14 free throws. He scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 6 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.
The SuperSonics' powerful, fast and fierce double-team attack did not have too much impact on him. His height and tonnage are not something that the SuperSonics can impact, and his superhuman wingspan can also ensure that his ball will not be easily hit by double teams.
Was knocked out, and both turnovers were errors in passing and receiving.
Danny Manning made 7 of 13 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He was the Suns' second scoring point.
Dan Marley was the third scoring point, scoring 15 points. The statistics are basically the same as last season, but the shooting rate is not as good as last season, and the defensive efficiency is not as good as last season. The state is indeed in a downward trend.
Kevin Johnson is the fourth scoring point, scoring 14 points. This season, his scoring average has dropped a lot, and his number of breakthroughs and desire to attack are far less than last season. Like Dan Marley, his offensive and defensive efficiency is also not as good as last season, and
The decline is even greater.
Horry was the fifth scoring point, scoring 10 points in this game, but his shooting percentage was still not as good as last season. I don’t know how he trained during the offseason.
However, the substitute lineup is not bad. Inside, Green and Thorpe are inside and outside. They cooperate very well, attack well, and their rebounding ability is also good.
Two big men who can play as the main power forwards in other teams are here as substitutes. This is also one of the confidence of the current Suns team.
But this is also the reason why the two of them are unwilling to give in, because let alone ordinary teams, even championship teams like the Bulls and Mosaics, they are capable of starting the game, and they are not willing to play as a substitute in the Suns.
.
It’s not that no team wants them now. The agent has received contact numbers from many teams, including the Bulls and Mosaics. However, the Suns have been pressing and have not agreed to trade.
After defeating the SuperSonics, in the early morning, the Suns rushed to Los Angeles overnight and will play against the Clippers tomorrow.
The plane flew in the sky for nearly three hours before arriving in Los Angeles. I checked into the hotel and when I lay on the bed, it was already past four in the morning.
At around seven o'clock in the morning, Yu Feihong woke up and picked up the landline phone beside the bed to make a call to Wang Tiejun. It was estimated that little brother Wang was still sleeping at this time, so he put down the phone again.
She majored in acting here, but took the directing major as an elective. There were many courses, and Wang Tiejun asked Hawksman to help, so she could often go to some production crews to observe them, so she was very busy, so she made a quick breakfast and started driving just after eight o'clock.
Went to school.
Around noon, she received a text message from Wang Tiejun, making an appointment for lunch. Forty minutes later, she rushed to the appointed restaurant and met Lao Wang.
"Coming."
"Um."
When Lao Wang, who was sitting, saw this, he quickly stood up, leaned over and gave her a bear hug, and then pulled out the chair for her.
The waiter came up and the two of them ordered their meals.
"Old K, four consecutive wins. Your Suns have a good start. This season should be better than last season, right?" Yu Feihong chose a topic that Wang Tiejun was more interested in.
"It looks pretty good now, but some people want to leave. I'm afraid the lineup will change in the future. It's hard to say, hard to say," he said.
He asked again: "How are you doing here?"
“Very fulfilling.”
Yu Feihong smiled and said: "Hoxman arranged for me to watch an action movie crew this time."
"What movie?" he asked casually.
"The director's name is Michael Bay, a new director. The movie is called Jedi Men, an action comedy starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. It was packaged by CAA." Yu Feihong said excitedly.
"I know Martin Lawrence. I watched his feature film 'The Bodyguard' the year before last. Who is Will Smith?" he asked.
"I don't know him very well. I heard that he used to be a singer. He debuted very early. He should be quite well-known in the United States. He must have just gotten involved in movies," Yu Feihong said.
"Do you know them?" Lao Wang asked.
"Where do I know them? Mr. Hawksman gave me a pass for the crew. I watched how they made the movie and performed," said Yu Feihong.
"It's okay. If I have a chance, I'll introduce you to some Hollywood stars. Would you like to meet Julia Roberts?" Lao Wang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Feihong kicked him on the leg. The latter said angrily: "Do you think I don't know about the scandal between you and her?"
"No, I have nothing to do with her, we are just friends." He said awkwardly.
That night, in back-to-back games, the Suns defeated the Clippers, a bad team, with their strong strength and won the first five consecutive games.
The Suns are now ranked first in the Western Conference. The Jazz have played one less game and are ranked second with 4 wins and 0 losses. The Spurs and Mosaics are close behind with 3 wins and 1 loss.
Barkley has been out since the beginning of the season. He suffered a lot of injuries last season, which made him want to retire, but he stayed because of Dameng's sincere efforts.
In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls and Magic both have five consecutive victories and are first in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are ranked second with 4 wins and 1 loss.
The Suns have another away game, challenging the Trail Blazers on the 15th and returning home to face the Timberwolves on the 16th, so they will stay in Los Angeles for one day and head to Portland on the 14th.
After Wang Tiejun asked for leave from the team, he and Yu Feihong returned to his villa in Los Angeles.
"Ahem, Yu Xiao, you see the electricity bill is also very expensive. We have to pay attention to environmental protection. Why don't we share a room tonight?" In the car, Lao Wang started to make up his mind.
Yu Feihong was also very generous. He glanced sideways at Lao Wang with warm eyes and said, "Be good, call Sister Feihong and listen, and I will promise you."
Lao Wang's face darkened, sister, do you want me to use force? I don't really care about means.
…
That night, the two really dedicated themselves to each other for the sake of environmental protection.
It was Yu Feihong's first time, and Lao Wang was considered a veteran. The former could only let the latter do whatever he wanted, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"It's over, I actually skipped class today." Yu Feihong lamented.
"It's only eleven o'clock, you can go in the afternoon." Lao Wang said.
Yu Feihong rolled his eyes at Lao Wang, "My little body of a hundred pounds is almost falling apart due to your torture. It's either painful or sore. Where else can I go?"
In the afternoon, Yu Feihong did not go to class and took Lao Wang to Hollywood to observe the studio of Jedi Men.
Just after the lunch break, before the crew started work, Lao Wang appeared in the studio. With his giant beast size, he naturally attracted attention immediately.
Although he didn't know anyone in this crew, the sports star's popularity in the United States is no less than that of Hollywood stars. He is still very well-known in the United States. Many people immediately greeted him, including the two leading actors.
"Hey, old K, let's get to know each other. I'm Will Smith. You must have heard my songs." Will Smith came over with a smile.
"No, I don't want to lie to you, Mr. Smith. In fact, I have never heard of your name." Lao Wang told the truth.
"Pfft, haha..." A group of people around laughed.
Will Smith, who was ridiculed by Lao Wang, smiled bitterly and said: "Old K, you are really shameless. Believe me, I will definitely become famous in the future."
He only started acting in movies in 1993, and he only made one low-budget movie. "Jedi Men" was his second movie. He had just started in this industry, and he didn't have much of a role. He was ridiculed, although it was a bit depressing.
But I’m not very angry either. Newcomers are always very tolerant, no matter which industry they are in.
"Hey, old K, have you seen my movie?" Martin Lawrence, the other male protagonist, asked nervously.
"Martin, I like your comedy performance. You are one of the best black comedy stars now." Lao Wang said.
"call!"
Patting his chest, Martin Lawrence made a relieved expression. His expression was extremely exaggerated and rich, causing the people next to him to laugh loudly.
"Hey, old K, I'm Michael Bay, a contracted director of CAA, nice to meet you."
"Hi Michael, I hope to see your movie released as soon as possible."
At this time, new director Michael Bay also came over to say hello to Lao Wang, and the two chatted politely.
"This is my girlfriend, Ms. Yu Feihong. She is an actor and director. By the way, she is also an acting class teacher at a film school in our country." Lao Wang formally introduced Yu Feihong.
When Yu Feihong stayed, I just took a few directing classes, and now I am a director?
This is the fourth time she has come to the studio of Jedi Men. Although she has Hawksman's care, Hawksman himself has no connections in Hollywood. He is an NBA agent under CAA, and he only uses CAA's connections to let her
She was able to enter this crew to observe, so she actually didn’t know the people in this crew, and she didn’t have much communication with them. She didn’t even know the director and the two male protagonists. Now that Lao Wang introduced them, they can be regarded as officially acquainted. Later, we will come to know each other.
It will be much more convenient to observe and observe here.
"Yu, welcome to our crew."
Michael Bay and Martin Lawrence, the main crew members, have also noticed Yu Feihong's existence these days. They knew that she was introduced by CAA, but they didn't care about her. Now that they know that she is Lao Wang's girlfriend, their attitude immediately changed.
Same.
It's not because Wang Tiejun can help them, but because of a kind of equality of status. In the United States, class is very important. Hollywood pays even more attention to this. People of different statuses will not have any interactions.
As an NBA all-star, K has the right to interact with them on an equal footing, and the same goes for his girlfriend.
After staying in Los Angeles for another night, Wang Tiejun flew to Portland with the Suns at noon on the 14th.
