Chapter 245 The first person to deduct O'Neal wants to deduct old K
The Jazz attack and there are 8 seconds left on the clock.
"You want the ball, you loser!"
In the low position on the left wing, Lao Wang was behind the postman, spewing trash talk.
"Bang!"
The postman put a backhand elbow on Lao Wang's chest, then took the opportunity to get rid of the latter and took a step up to receive the pass from Stockton.
The next moment, he turned around and took off, shooting a jump shot from the left waist position.
"Crack!"
Unfortunately, Lao Wang had already taken a step back, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the ball flying again.
This time, the ball flew very high and landed in the Suns' frontcourt. Several outside players from both teams ran over.
Wang Tiejun and the postman were also chasing after him, and they ran at the same time.
Just when they crossed the center line, the ball that was about to leave the baseline was chased by Dan Marley.
Someone from the Jazz returned to the basket, and Dan Marly pulled to the left wing. At this time, Wang rushed to the top of the key and was reaching for the ball. He quickly pulled the ball up and pushed it over with one hand.
Lao Wang was on the left and the postman was on the right. After catching the ball with his left hand, he caught the ball and leaned to the right. He hit the postman with his right elbow and pushed him back. Then he strode across the free throw line and flew up.
Jazz small forwards David Benoit and Drexler, who returned to the basket, changed their expressions when they saw it. Even if this charging beast just brushed against them, they would probably have to fly.
, quickly flashed to the side.
"Bang!"
After a dunk with his left hand, the entire backboard exploded into countless small particles.
"oh!"
The whole audience screamed in surprise.
"Haha, Old K knocked out another backboard. Whose basket did he smash last time? I think the league should once again raise their standards for the quality of backboards and baskets." Bill Walton shouted excitedly.
"Haha, what happened on the 4th, he collapsed the SuperSonics' basket at their home court." John Hanks laughed.
Bill Walton shook his head and smiled: "You know, John, this is the first time I have seen Old K complete such a dunk during a fast break. Do you know what this means?"
"Speed, explosive, unstoppable, he is like a wild charging buffalo that can kill anyone." John Hanks said without hesitation.
Nodding, Bill Walton smiled and said: "Although your statement is a bit exaggerated, his speed and explosive power are not yet at that level. He is still not as good as O'Neal in these two athletic qualities, but it is not bad now and is enough for him to keep up."
Fast-paced.
The reason why the three major super centers are super centers is because they can break fast like guards, and the same goes for O'Neal. Now the old K has also initially possessed this ability.
Of course, I don't know if he can continue to improve his fast break ability. If not, then I think he must still focus on positional warfare.
If he can, then he will even out many of his talent disadvantages in the competition with O'Neal."
John Hanks suddenly laughed and said: "Although O'Neal's athletic talent is worse than that of Old K, in terms of performance, he is far inferior to Old K."
"Ha ha……"
Bill Walton laughed and said: "Yes, one has won the championship as the main center and led the team to the Western Conference Finals last season, while the other has won nothing and was swept in the first round.
By the way, Old K was also selected for the best second team last season, but O'Neal did not have such a hard honor. Last season, the first team was a big dream, and the third team was David Robinson."
"What are you talking about? What does a second team mean? Sooner or later I will get a double first team. That is the standard configuration of a super giant that combines offense and defense."
Orlando, O'Neal glared at Bill Walton on the TV and yelled.
The game entered a pause phase, and the Jazz's strength was already inferior to others. Suffering from this blow, the atmosphere at home fell to the bottom.
Twenty minutes later, the backboards were replaced and the game resumed.
"Bang!"
After the pick-and-roll, Jeff Hornacek shot a three-pointer from a small space, but missed it.
"Crack!"
The postman was stuck, Lao Wang protected the rebound, and the Suns attacked.
When he came to the frontcourt, everyone else had already pulled away. He rushed directly to the basket. The postman immediately stepped forward and refused his intrusion.
He stopped at the next step from the free throw line, three meters away from the basket.
At this time, Kevin Johnson's ball was intercepted by Stokes and he passed the ball in with some urgency.
He quickly turned around, stretched out his left elbow, and hit the postman's chest with a bang, while grabbing the ball with his right hand.
The next moment, two Jazz players rushed to his side.
"Bang! Hiss! Bang!"
I was hit on my right elbow, stepped on my left foot, scratched on my face, and received a heavy elbow from the postman on my back.
In an instant, he suffered several hidden attacks during the encirclement and suppression.
"Get away!"
From the moment he received the ball, the attack three-second count restarted, and he started to play crazily.
He leaned over with his left foot as support, moved his right foot back, inserted it between the legs of the postman behind him, and hung his right calf on the postman's right calf.
"Bang!"
The next moment, his right knee suddenly collapsed backwards, and at the same time, his back hit the postman's chest hard. With a heavy impact, a huge force exploded instantly.
When he was surrounded, he used the Baji Quan technique, which the referee couldn't see anyway, so it was useless.
"Bang!"
The postman's feet were hung, and his center of gravity was forced to move backwards. After being hit in the chest again, his upper body suddenly leaned back and hit the floor.
"Kacha kacha..."
After the bottom line, in the media gallery, intensive shutter sounds sounded.
"Bang! Bang!"
The next moment, amid the exclamations of the fans in the stadium, Lao Wang stepped forward with his right foot and hit him twice in a row, causing the two Jazz players on the left and right to collapse.
"Oh oh..."
The Delta Center Arena continuously erupted with huge exclamations.
"Bang!"
After sweeping away all the defenders, Lao Wang turned around and stepped on the postman's side. His monster-like body exploded into the air. With the ball, amidst the violent sound of the basket exploding, the basket suddenly sank down.
The swaying posture is like a beautiful woman's thin waist that is about to break, which makes people worry.
After landing and turning around, Lao Wang looked down at the Jazz's home court and slowly walked towards the frontcourt.
Around him were his teammates who rushed over to cheer and celebrate. Whether it was superstar Drexler or former No. 1 pick Danny Manning, they all rallied around him.
Behind him is the postman who got up and three Jazz players.
They were in an extremely embarrassed state at the moment, their morale was low, and the tremendous pressure made their breathing quicken involuntarily.
At this time, their mentality had been completely shattered by Lao Wang's crazy raids.
A little further away, there are countless frustrated Jazz fans, who suffered repeated blows from Lao Wang tonight.
"Oh, it's too bad! It's really too bad! He, he, he is a monster..."
"Yes, well, even the postman's elbow can't deal with him, yes, he can't deal with it..."
The on-site commentary box was very quiet, and the two regional commentators fell into a dead silence, unable to utter a complete sentence.
In the ABC live broadcast booth, Bill Walton roared excitedly: "It's great. Old K continuously sweeps the opponent. This is the sweeper of the penalty area. When his weight reaches 129 kilograms, he is unstoppable."
"I'm right, on the offensive end and in the penalty area, Old K's dominance is unlimited." John Hanks laughed.
"Nonsense, I am the strongest ruler in the paint area." Orlando, O'Neal shouted in dissatisfaction.
At the end of the game, 118:95, the Suns won by 23 points, defeated the Jazz, and won their ninth consecutive victory.
Bill Walton finally analyzed: "The Postman played 44 minutes, making 10 of 21 shots, a field goal percentage of 47.6%, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.
The opponent, Old K, played 38 minutes, made 12 of 20 shots, a shooting percentage of 60%, and 5 of 9 free throws. He scored a triple-double of 29 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 blocks, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls."
John Hanks said: "Old K's offense at the basket accounted for as high as 55%. He made 8 of the 11 offenses at the basket. His shooting percentage at the basket was 72.7%. The remaining 9 shots were nearly two-pointers and he hit the target.
Among them, the hit rate reached 44.4%, which is also quite good.
The Postman only accounted for 25% of the basket attacks. Five basket attacks were scored three times, with a shooting percentage of 60%. The other 16 shots were all mid-range shots, with 6 hits and a shooting percentage of 37.5%, which was lower than the normal 40.
% mid-range shooting percentage.”
Bill Walton said: "These data show that Lao K is stronger on the offensive end and his performance is not weaker than before. However, the postman is more limited and his performance tonight is slightly worse than in the past."
John Hanks said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, Old K defended the Postman alone, and the Postman's efficiency declined. The Jazz double-teamed Old K, and Old K still performed as well as before.
This is the dominance of Old K on the offensive end. Even if he is a top super player like Postman, he can't limit his offense no matter how hard he double-teams."
Nodding, Bill Walton said: "Especially at the basket, Old K was particularly strong tonight, and his offensive proportion at the basket was even higher than before.
In addition, on the basis of scoring 2915, he also sent 10 assists. With this kind of performance, I am worried about teams such as Mosaic and Spurs. It will be very difficult for them to break out of the Western Conference this season. Even the Bulls, I
To quote Old K, if they want to successfully defend their title, they have to look at Old K’s face.”
…
After playing the Jazz, the Suns had three consecutive home games, and they rushed back to Phoenix the next day.
On the 23rd, the Suns defeated the visiting Clippers, a bad team, and won ten consecutive games.
On the 25th, the Spurs arrived in Phoenix and they will be the Suns' next opponent.
This season's Spurs have strengthened their lineup. Sean Elliott and young general Johnson have returned to the team. However, like Barkley, Dennis Rodman was injured at the beginning of the game and will be out for at least two days.
Thirty games, the lineup is not uniform.
Thanks to the efforts of David Robinson, the team started well and had a three-game winning streak. However, they did not play well in the next few games. They lost every game they won and were unable to win consecutive games. They did not show the performance of a first-tier team at all.
The strength and ambition of the team are currently five wins and five losses, and the Western Conference rankings have fallen behind the Suns, Jazz, Mosaic, and SuperSonics.
In fact, even if the Spurs have a complete lineup, they are not as good as the Suns. What's more, they just lost to the SuperSonics at home last night. Today is a back-to-back game, and they lack Rodman's rebounds. They lose more than they win, and their morale is not high.
The Suns successfully won this game, pushing their winning streak to 11 games.
After beating the Spurs, the Suns also ushered in a back-to-back game, facing the Nets on the 26th.
At eight o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup.
Nets: Benoit Benjamin, Derek Coleman, Chris Morris, Kevin Edwards, Kenny Anderson
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Danny Manning, Clyde Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson
The Suns did not have a national live broadcast of this game, but the Nets did. The Nets only have 15 national live broadcasts this season. This is one of them. ESPN will conduct a real-time national broadcast.
Commentator Winston Rollin analyzed: "The Nets currently have 6 wins and 7 losses. This record is considered a bad team in the Western Conference, but they are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.
There are traditional strong teams in the East such as the Bulls and Knicks over the years, as well as rising stars like the Magic. But overall, the league has shown a trend of a strong west and a weak east. If the Western Conference wants to enter the top eight, the winning rate must be at least over 50%, while the Eastern Conference
unnecessary."
Carter Oldman continued: "Under normal circumstances, there is no suspense for the Suns to win this game. Old K's performance is very stable and efficient. As long as there are no major problems on the outside and the ball is passed in, the Suns will not
Played a very poor game.
But the Nets also have a chance, that is, the Suns just played the Spurs last night, and they will have some physical problems. If they rush, they may beat the Suns."
Rollin laughed at this time and said: "Coleman, the No. 1 pick in 1990, is extremely talented. O'Neal has just made his debut and has tasted the feeling of being dunked under him, so old K should be careful."
Oldman suddenly smiled and said: "I want to criticize Old K here. In order to avoid being dunked, there is a problem with his position under the basket. He is too far away from the basket, which makes the opponent's outside breakthrough difficult.
Provided more free opportunities.”
Luo Lin laughed loudly and said: "No, no, no, Lao K's current defense is good. After his mobility becomes better, his defense ability has improved greatly."
Oldman nodded and smiled: "Winston, remember we discussed the upper limit of Old K before. We once determined that his upper limit was a quasi-first-class center. Later, he directly surpassed the level of a quasi-first-class center and played the strength of a first-class center. Then
We said that his upper limit is a superstar-level center, but now do you think his performance has reached a superstar level?"
Luo Lin's expression became serious, and after pondering for two or three seconds, he said: "Superstar level is a top center, which is completely different from an All-Star center. All-Stars have other factors, but a top center only depends on the strength of the player itself.
Has Old K now reached the level of a top center? Of course he has. Since the start of the season, he has led the team to 12 consecutive victories, averaging 30,155 points per game, ranking first in the scoring list, and still ranked first in mvp rankings as of last week. This is not
What is top performance?”
Oldman nodded and said: "So do you think he has a chance to become a superstar? Or a super center?"
Luo Lindao: "It will require him to maintain top performance for a long period of time, at least three to five seasons. It's hard to say at the moment.
Everyone has their moments of glory, and maybe he slacks off after getting the next big contract.
In addition, injuries are the killer of athletes. With his style of play, he is actually very easy to get injured. Once injured, he is not a technical center like the three super centers. His performance will definitely decline significantly, and naturally he will not be able to talk about it.
Become a superstar."
Oldman nodded again and said: "Being super giant is the dream of every NBA star. But among super giants, there are also different types.
For example, ordinary super giants have their own weaknesses, such as being strong in offense and weak in defense, being weak in offense and strong in defense, lacking leadership skills, not having a sense of the overall situation, not having strong willpower, etc.
These weaknesses prevent these giants from entering the best first team and the best defensive first team at the same time, causing them to be unable to provide more contributions to the team, and also causing them to be unable to obtain more hard honors, ultimately preventing them from dominating an era.
Or influence an era.
In addition to the ordinary super giants, there are also the most powerful super giants, such as Michael Jordan, Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... Well, in the entire history of the league, I can only think of three of them."
Luo Lin continued: "Yes, it's probably the three of them, because they all have one characteristic, they are all super giants integrating offense and defense, and they have entered the best team and the best defensive team many times at the same time.
Of course, among these three people, Dameng is the most special, because he has no ring in his hand, no FMVP, and in terms of hard honors, he is not as good as the other two. But I think this is because he met Jordan, otherwise he didn’t last season
He should win the championship.”
Oldman said: "So from the perspective of personal strength, there are three of them as offensive and defensive super giants, but if you add hard honors, the actual offensive and defensive super giants are only Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The dream is far away from them.
There’s still a long way to go.”
At this time, in the home team's locker room, Lao Wang was watching the ESPN live broadcast and asked curiously: "The god you are talking about is Zhang Twenty Thousand, who scored 100% in a single game. Isn't he considered a super giant who can combine offense and defense?
"
Kevin Johnson laughed and said: "Chamberlain is as miserable as the super centers like Dameng. He has been suppressed by Russell his whole life.
Russell is a defensive giant, Chamberlain is an offensive giant, one defense and one offense, the winner is defense."
Lao Wang scratched his head and muttered that my defense seems to need to be strengthened!
A few minutes later, the starting lineups of the two teams met in the tunnel.
The visiting team was playing, and Derek Coleman, who was about to go out, saw a few starters from the Suns coming out. He looked back, and when he saw Lao Wang, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
As the first person to dunk on O'Neal, he heard the commentator Luo Lin's words just now and had the idea of dunking on O'Neal.
Dunking on a big center is definitely the best way to humiliate an opponent. He dunked on that behemoth in the first month of O'Neal's rookie season, and always wanted to dunk on the remaining behemoth, but the old
K is too cunning and has never found an opportunity.
If he can complete the dunk against Old K tonight, he will definitely be on the front page of all media sports sections tomorrow.
"This guy has bad intentions towards me! Well, I have to strike first." Looking at Coleman running out, Lao Wang thought thoughtfully.
