That night, I called him at home and it was the eldest sister and the second sister.
Before he left, although all the affairs of Fengshen Street were handed over to Bai Changsheng, he also entrusted the elder sister in the capital to take care of them. This call was about Fengshen Street.
In two years, Fengshen Street has been basically built and decorated. It’s time to start the investment plan.
The original plan was to position Fengshen Street similar to Sanlitun, with some sports elements added, but the eldest sister had different opinions. To be precise, it was not the eldest sister, but the second sister.
The eldest sister has no interest in business at all, nor does she have the talent. However, the second sister who is far away in Xi'an has always been very concerned about his Fengshen Street. After returning to the capital this time, after some research, she put forward different opinions.
The second sister's idea is to build a commercial pedestrian street with a mid-to-high-end position. Fengshen Street is not a main road. He has bought all the streets on that side, which fully meets the conditions.
How does Lao Wang know this? The second sister is ten times smarter than him, so just listen to the second sister.
On the 14th, the Suns defeated the Clippers, a bad team, and then defeated the Nuggets, but then lost to the Pacers and suffered their 10th loss of the season.
On the 21st, the Magic arrived in Phoenix.
The two teams will play the first regular season game of the season on the 22nd. This is also the fifth time in three seasons that Lao Wang will face O'Neal.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, O'Neal called Lao Wang at the hotel and shouted: "Old K, when I come to your territory, don't you have any expression? For example, treat me to dinner, or invite me to a nightclub?"
"I went to Orlando and I didn't see you treating me. Big sewer, you are so shameless. What brand is it?" Lao Wang said rudely.
O'Neal exclaimed: "Shark brand, what else could it be?"
"..." Lao Wang was speechless.
Then he found a restaurant and invited O'Neal to dinner.
After the two met in the restaurant, before they could even sit down, O'Neal started squirming excitedly and yelling: "Old K, we are the second best in the East, and you are the second best in the West. I have caught up with you."
"That's all you've got? What's there to be excited about?" Lao Wang pushed O'Neal away angrily and sat down.
The two appeared in the restaurant and attracted the attention of the restaurant staff and guests, but they did not come over and only glanced here from time to time.
After ordering, Lao Wang looked at the pile of meat opposite and asked, "Sewer, how much do you weigh?"
"You are so rude, you are a big sewer."
O'Neill seriously corrected Lao Wang's mistake, and then said with a relaxed look: "140 kilograms, maybe a little more. I haven't measured it for a long time, so I'm not sure."
Lao Wang opened his mouth. Are you relying on your talent to be so good that you can't even control your weight?
He really guessed it right. O'Neal just doesn't care much about his weight, because his athletic ability hasn't dropped much since he reached his current weight.
In the Eastern Conference and in the entire league, he is still a monster. The three super centers will have a headache when facing him. Maybe they can beat him with experience, but they are not guaranteed to win against him.
And he found that with the increase in tonnage, although his data was still a little worse than last season, his dominance at the basket became stronger, so he became less able to manage his weight.
.
The most important point is, if you don’t have enough tonnage, how can you fight against this annoying guy on the opposite side?
He stared at Lao Wang and said: "Old K, I will beat you up tomorrow."
Lao Wang glanced at the fat, nodded and said: "Although it is not the time to sleep now, I wish you a good dream."
O'Neal said disdainfully: "You have no lightning, no control on the outside, and no engine for offense. I see it is difficult for you to even get the ball in the low post. How can you beat me?"
We have Penny and Nick Anderson on the outside, how can you stop them on the back line? Your defense is still not top-notch, how can you stop me?"
"Your defense is just like that. It's not better than mine. Can you stop me?"
Lao Wang didn't mention anything else. The Suns are indeed better than the Magic right now. He only mentioned O'Neal's defense.
O'Neal shook his head proudly and said with a smile: "That's because I don't want to invest more on the defensive end, but as long as I invest, it will be effective. And you, even if you invest, there will be no effect."
Lao Wang became irritated, glanced at the other guests, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn cesspit, be careful I will kill you tomorrow."
O'Neal had a black line on his face and yelled in dissatisfaction: "What are you calling me? I am a sewer, not that damn cesspit. You are asking me to fall out with you again."
"Don't the sewers lead to the cesspit? Aren't they all going through your mouth?" Looking at O'Neal, Lao Wang looked disgusted.
O'Neal's face twitched. What do you mean by saying this, it came from my mouth?
"Okay, I've changed my nickname. From now on, I don't want the nickname Big Sewer. From now on, I'll call it..."
He thought for a while and suddenly shouted excitedly: "As long as I beat you tomorrow, I will be booed by your fans. Wow, that will make me very excited. I will make the Suns fans unhappy. Okay, I have a
What a wonderful idea, it’s called a major felon, what do you think?”
"..."
Lao Wang was stunned and had no idea what was going on in the mind of the fat guy opposite him. What kind of brain did he have to come up with such a nickname?
O'Neal suddenly leaned his head over, with an excited look on his face, and whispered, "Hey, old K, will you take me to a nightclub tonight? I'm not very familiar with this place."
"What's fun? I won't go." Lao Wang shook his head.
O'Neal shook his head with some regret. Just as he leaned back in his chair, he suddenly thought of something, stretched his head over again, and whispered with a mysterious face: "The last time I went to New York to play an away game, I heard Charlie Oakley say, in
There is a Gold Club in Atlanta, which is very fun and has special services. Have you been there?"
"No, do you plan to go?" Lao Wang asked.
"I haven't decided yet. I heard that those services are not legal. I'm afraid there will be problems in the future," O'Neill said.
"Then you go ahead. I'll just watch the fun when the problem comes up." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Old K, you are really nothing!" O'Neal said angrily.
On the 22nd, the Suns played against the Magic at home.
At 7:30, both sides announced the starting lineup.
Magic: O'Neal, Grant, Donald Loyer, Nick Anderson, Anfernee Hardaway
Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Malley, Wesley Parsons
This game is very interesting. Both teams are strong teams in the East and West. At the same time, Wang and O'Neal are the strongest of the new generation of centers, and they are the same type of behemoths. Although the two teams have no competition,
But such collisions still attracted countless media attention.
This game was broadcast live across the United States by ABC TV. After the starting lineup was announced, the national live broadcast also began.
Bill Walton analyzed: "The Lightning are injured. Although the Suns still have Drexler and Dan Marley on the outside, the Magic should have more advantages and be more offensive on the back line."
John Hanks nodded: "Yes, the Magic back line is composed of Anfernee Hardaway and Nick Anderson. They are one of the most competitive offensive guard combinations in the East. It is precisely because of their existence and the inside
O'Neal is a monster, so the Magic have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference."
Bill Walton continued: "Drexler is still strong now. He and Penny Hardaway are both forward and guard swingmen. They can play three positions and have certain organizational skills. Now that the Lightning is injured, I think the Suns
You can let the glider try position one."
John Hanks said: "I think the Magic have the advantage inside. Even if K and O'Neal can fight each other, Grant is stronger than Green.
Cobra left the Bulls, and he also played well in the Magic. His cutting inside, rebounding, and weak-side defense can all help the team very well."
Bill Walton laughed: "This season the Suns have introduced Danny Manning and Glider, but they have also brought hidden dangers. These two stars have not lowered the average age of the Suns. The Suns must face the consequences of aging players.
Injury issues come.
And now this problem is affecting the Suns. Lightning Kevin Johnson has been injured for several months, and Danny Manning is not in good condition. I heard that old injuries are bothering him, so if the Suns don't deal with this
The consequences will be serious."
At this time, both sides started playing.
At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.
Jump ball, O'Neal wins, Magic offense.
"This guy has gained so much weight and can still jump faster than me." Lao Wang was still very surprised when he saw O'Neal beating half of his head when jumping the ball.
His strength has increased, and his tonnage has also increased, but he has not stopped. He will only know what kind of power the 140 kilogram tonnage O'Neal will have. He has to try it.
"Bang!"
He groaned in the extremely heavy impact. Although he was not knocked back, his feet were knocked loose by O'Neill.
The next moment, O'Neal hit his upper body for the second time.
"Bang!"
The huge force was like the crashing waves on the shore, and his feet instantly relaxed again, and his whole body was pulled up by the extremely powerful impact force.
"squeak!"
Gritting his teeth, he pushed hard with his back foot, and with the friction of his sneakers, he forced himself to stand still.
However, at this moment, O'Neal turned around with an extremely agile shark and jumped directly into him. After turning around, he stepped forward and burst out.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the basket behind him was smashed.
"What the hell!"
Although I was prepared, I was still surprised.
I was surprised by O'Neal's extreme talent. He has made great progress. Most of his athletic qualities have reached his ceiling, but he is still beaten by O'Neal.
"Old K, I won't let you go." After succeeding, the excited O'Neal spat trash talk at Lao Wang.
He was a little regretful because he failed to knock Old K into the basket, which gave him no chance to dunk on Old K.
"Just you?"
Lao Wang is unwilling to be weak. I can't guard against you, but how can you guard against me?
When he came to the frontcourt, he went straight to the low post on the left wing, and O'Neal was inside. The others pulled away, allowing them to fight in the low post.
"Come on." O'Neal said nervously.
In three seasons, no, in the first two seasons, he suffered a lot from Old K in this position. That kind of terrifying relying on beating was the culprit of his being dunked by Old K. Now his tonnage has reached 140 kilograms, but
Whether he could stop Old K's attack depended on him, but he actually didn't have full confidence in his heart.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang stood with his left foot on the left side of the paint area, held O'Neal with his left elbow, and caught the ball with his right hand. In the next moment, he suddenly turned around and slid to the bottom.
"Don't even think about coming in!"
O'Neal quickly retreated to the baseline.
When the opponent moves, Lao Wang instantly decides to switch from moving to relying on fighting.
Controlling the ball with his left hand, he took a step forward and reached O'Neal's position with his right foot. His feet paused, the six forces instantly merged into one, and his right shoulder and back hit O'Neal's chest.
At the moment of contact, a huge iron mountain erupted from the force of the blow.
"Bang!"
A very heavy impact sounded, like a war drum being beaten.
Under this huge force, O'Neal lost his center of gravity while moving. The huge tonnage of 140 kilograms and the powerful absolute power could not compete with this force.
Climb, climb...
This step back meant taking two small steps back and being knocked directly into the basket before he regained his center of gravity and stood still.
"Still can't stop it!?" O'Neal was shocked and frightened.
At this time, he saw Lao K flying towards him.
"not good!"
His mind was agitated, and he instantly realized that this damn guy was going to dunk him again, and he quickly dodged toward the baseline.
"Bang!"
The next moment, his basket was exploded.
"Big cesspit, you are still smart!" After Lao Wang came down, he gave a thumbs up in admiration.
In the collision just now, he used all his strength to take advantage of O'Neal's movement.
But if O'Neal stands still, the thick fat on his body has a strong unloading and lubricating effect, and it may not have such a good effect. It will take a series of hits to knock O'Neal's center of gravity.
He had tasted the power of the fat last year, and this year the fat was even thicker. If he was unlucky, under the influence of the fat, he might make mistakes.
If you want to beat O'Neal like this, you have to use steps and feints to fully mobilize the opponent and keep the opponent on the move. Then you can take advantage of the movement of the bear step and the ability to switch at will to beat the opponent. It will be much easier.
.
Of course, even if he uses Tieshan to forcefully attack, he still has a chance to forcefully eat O'Neal, but that will consume too much and the success rate will be lower.
"Shut up! Why are you shouting? Please call me a major felon."
Hearing the word "cesspit", O'Neal felt his head hurt and yelled angrily.
In the Magic's frontcourt, Anfernee Hardaway holds the ball. If it wasn't for Parson to guard him, it would be impossible to arrange it like that, unless Westphal is a big fool and he arranges it for Drexler.
Both of them are forward and guard swingmen, both are 201 centimeters tall and have the same position, so they are not considered a defensive switch.
However, Hardaway is younger. In the 1990s, when football was fierce and fierce, his appearance was like a breath of fresh air. Within two years of his debut, he gained the support of countless fans and was even hailed as Jordan's first successor.
Of course, there is a successor, Grant Hill.
He was the No. 3 pick in 1993, Hill was the No. 3 pick in 1994, and Jordan was the No. 3 pick in 1984. The three generations of No. 1 picks have similar playing styles and the same position, which makes people have endless associations.
Jordan has also admitted on some occasions that these two young people are indeed qualified to be his successors.
"Bang!"
While dribbling, Penny Hardaway took a step past Drexler. When the latter quickly retreated, he suddenly stopped, shook his opponent away, and then jumped up.
"Damn it!"
Drexler, who was shaken back, watched Hardaway take action, but was unable to do anything. He was so angry that veins appeared on his head.
It doesn't matter if he was beaten by Jordan, but now even the so-called successor of Jordan can shit and piss on his head. How can you bear this?
It seems that it also made him very frustrated. Because of the inexplicable reason of the draft that year, Jordan always disliked him. Every time he met, he would stare at him and beat him until he was beaten.
But in fact, he didn't want to be drafted by the Trail Blazers at all, he wanted to go to the Mosaic team.
Next, Drexler and Hardaway got into a fight and went it alone when they got the ball.
Wesley Parsons is just a rookie. How dare he not give it to a superstar like Drexler if he asks for the ball? Besides, he is originally a shooting guard, not a point guard, and his organizational skills are not good. He is eager to hand over the ball.
Glider handling.
So in the following time, the Glider directly controlled the Suns' possession of the ball.
On the sidelines, head coach Westphal did not comment for the time being.
Through this period of observation, he also saw that Parson did not have the potential to play point guard, and he could do without the ball.
However, when the glider controls the ball, most of the time it is done alone, which is not acceptable.
This is not a glider's team. In fact, he is just a passer-by in this team. He will most likely leave after this season.
It's a pity that the team now has no substitute point guard worthy of training. If Glider is not allowed to get the ball, there will be no other suitable candidates, so he said nothing and acquiesced to the changes on the court.
But Glider can control the ball, but cannot always do it alone. This is the old K team, not his.
It’s just that Old K is on the court, and he hopes that Old K will stop the glider’s behavior by himself. This is what a good team leader should do.
In the 7th minute of the first quarter, at 20:15, the Suns were trailing at home.
Drexler performed well, making 4 of 9 shots. His average field goal percentage this season is 46%, which is considered normal.
But here he only focused on playing by himself. Lao Wang was watching inside and couldn't catch the ball. Except for the dunk in the opening, he only took one hook shot later and failed to hit. There was no low post attack. The Suns' overall offensive efficiency was lower than normal.
level.
The Magic played relatively reasonably. O'Neal made 4 of 7 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. However, this efficiency still made the Magic's overall efficiency four percentage points higher than that of the Suns.
Wang Tiejun defended O'Neal, who weighed 140 kilograms, but he couldn't handle it despite his terrifying explosive power.
Every time O'Neal bumped into him, he would either use his best shark style to turn around and go straight to the basket for a dunk, or he wouldn't be able to prevent him from throwing and hooking close to the basket.
He felt that the explosive power of the Sharks after gaining weight was even more terrifying than last season. This also shocked him. It was possible to increase explosive power through fat. Apart from O'Neal, I had never heard of anyone else who could do this. Isn't fat a burden?
