When the Suns were attacking, Wang Tiejun hit Mosaic's substitute center with his back, hit him once and then pressed his head to blast the basket again.
Barkley was restrained by the big team, and his defense was a little slow.
He glared at Ben. This ferocious-looking rookie didn't intend to attack at all. He just pestered him, causing him to lose the opportunity to help defend. He was very annoying. He looked down on such people who didn't attack the most.
Mosaic offense, Drexler singled out Person. The height difference between the two was 3 centimeters, which was not big. There was no mismatch advantage. The jump shot was missed. Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.
After playing two games in a row, Lao Wang still aggressively demanded position and the ball this time.
When playing against Mark Bryant, the opponent only weighs 115 kilograms, which is 17 kilograms lighter than him. His advantage is too great. He can crush his opponent based on his tonnage alone. It is not difficult at all, so he chooses to continuously ask for the ball and hit hard.
"Crack!"
He caught the ball in the low post on the left wing, outside the paint.
Because he continuously attacked the basket without any outside shots, Mark Bryant immediately chose to retreat.
But at this moment, he jumped up from the left waist and took a jump shot.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the board and hit the basket, brushed the net, and hit another goal.
"Beautiful hitting, the movements are very continuous and concise, and the speed of the shot is also very fast. Just like his hook, Old K has another big killer weapon in his arsenal." Su Qun said excitedly.
"Old K, when did you practice this?" Barkley asked in surprise.
"It's offseason." Lao Wang said with a smile.
Mosaic offense, Barkley gets the ball in the low post on the right wing, and he needs to teach Ben Wallace, a rookie, what offense is.
"Bang! Bang!"
Dribbling continuously, he arched back twice, while also observing whether Lao Wang on the weak side was helping to defend him. After seeing Lao Wang reach the basket, he immediately turned around and slipped to the bottom, breaking through the base.
, holding the ball into the paint area, taking off from the first step, and shooting a small throw.
"brush!"
Wang Tiejun tried his best to take a step forward to block the shot, but it was already too late and the ball went down.
"Old K, you are destined to lose, give up your efforts." Barkley said with a proud smile.
"It doesn't matter if you join a team. If you win, I can only mean that you have succeeded in joining a team." Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"It's not like I'm in a group."
Barkley looked at Da Meng on the bench and laughed.
In the following time, Barkley and Drexler seemed to adapt to the game. They were in better condition and played more actively. They took turns taking shots. Ben and Person could sometimes guard the next ball, but most of the time they couldn't.
Yes, their hit rate is very high.
Although Wang Tiejun has full offensive power here, the Suns' weakness in being unable to open up from the outside was exposed in front of the Mosaic team, and he was frequently double-teamed.
Dameng hadn't come up yet at this time. Even if the Mosaic team double-teamed him, he didn't have any scruples and began to attack the basket. Within 8 minutes, he made 6 of 7 shots and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 14 points.
But he couldn't take all the shots. After the second quarter, 60:52, the Suns, whose substitute lineup was not strong enough, were eight points behind, and the point difference was further widened.
In the third quarter, the Mosaic team still had two giants on the court, dragging Wang Tiejun while Barkley recovered his strength off the court.
In this quarter, in order to chase points, Wang Tiejun still attacked with all his strength.
But Dameng was not someone else, but a top defender, and Mosaic's defense shrank, so his efficiency was not as good as in the second quarter. He played the full third quarter, making 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and once again scored 14 points.
Scored 33 points in three quarters.
Mosaic always maintained the lineup of the two giants on the court. After the third quarter, 85:80, they still led by 5 points on the road.
However, by now, Dameng and the other three were very tired. Even though the three of them took turns to fight, they had pulled out more than a dozen times in the afternoon, and their bodies were weak and they couldn't bear it any longer.
"This bastard, let's treat him to something good next time he goes to our home stadium. What do you think we're going to treat him to?"
Sitting back on the bench, Dameng cursed and cursed. Before he could finish his sentence, a stinky fart burst out and everyone on the bench immediately started to jump.
Tomjanovich shook his head helplessly, took a few steps back, and exited the biological bomb's attack area.
He is determined to beat the Suns tonight. If he wants to win the championship this season, he must defeat the Suns. The regular season is the best opportunity to test his strength.
He said to Dameng from a distance: "Hakim, if you can still persist, I hope you can play in the final quarter."
"Coach, I can do it." Dameng shouted in a deep voice.
He turned around and glanced at the Suns bench. When he looked at Wang Tiejun, his eyes were a little angry. This bastard was really not a good person.
"Charles, Clyde, where are you?" Tomjanovich asked the other two giants.
The two giants looked at each other and nodded.
At the beginning of the final quarter, the Mosaic team sent out a complete lineup of the Big Three.
Mosaic team attack.
Dameng got the ball at the waist in the paint area on the left wing, with Wang Tiejun on his back, and started shaking.
Shake left and right, then shake left and right, is it over? No, shake left and right again, and do it again, until his butt can no longer feel the defender behind him, then based on his judgment, suddenly
He turned around, drove into the paint, and hit a layup.
Wang Tiejun was so dizzy that he couldn't catch him in time. He was hit by Dameng, and he said angrily: "Be careful, don't throw the shit out."
"asshole!"
Da Meng's old face turned red with anger.
Suns offense.
Wang Tiejun played for a quarter and a half in a row, all attacking the basket. He was very tired. Although he wanted to win, it was only the regular season after all, so he did not actively take positions. He first recovered his physical fitness and prepared to exert his strength in the second half of the quarter.
If he doesn't attack, the offense can only be handed over to Wilkins, whose offensive firepower is second only to him.
Now it's better, the outside line can't be opened, and the Mosaic team shrinks its defense. Wilkins holds the ball like a explosive bag. Although he rushes in regardless of his own safety, he is bruised and bruised every time. In the four attacks, he has been beaten.
He swallowed two big blocks from Dameng, was intercepted once by Drexler, and failed to make a near-basket jumper despite being double-teamed by Barkley.
After making zero of four shots, the score stretched to double digits. In the fourth minute of the final quarter, the Suns called a timeout.
Su Qun said at this time: "If the ball is given to Wilkins, there will be a drawback. He generally cannot pass the ball. If he rushes in, the opponent will definitely shrink and double-team him. At this time, his best choice is to distribute the ball.
, because the outside line must be empty, and there is a chance for Old K, but he doesn’t seem to have this habit.”
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "This is the limitation of ability and playing style. It is a typical black hole of ball rights. To be honest, the Suns introduced him. To be honest, it is not necessarily right or wrong."
He used to be the boss, and he had no habit of passing the ball. He only had the habit of others passing the ball to him. This was one of the reasons why he left the green team. The green team did not give him a tactical position.
However, when he comes to the Suns, the management probably won't give him much tactical status. The reason he didn't pass the ball just now is probably due to his ability, and he doesn't have a strong ability to distribute the ball.
Just look at his assist data and you will know that Jordan and Drexler, who are both flying men with him, averaged 5.3 and 5.6 assists per game in their careers, while he only had 2.5, which is less than Jordan and Drexler.
Half of a glider, that's the difference."
At this time, the timeout ends, the game begins, and the Suns attack.
Including the inter-session rest and the pause time just now, Lao Wang rested for five or six minutes and felt almost done.
His three-month physical training is almost over. By the end of September, his physical fitness has exceeded level 100, and he will soon reach level 101, which is the absolute top level in the league. Not only is his physical reserve strong, but his recovery speed is also very fast.
Same top quality.
He wants to win this game. Dameng and the other three have diarrhea. This is a good opportunity.
Winning is winning. There is no victory without fighting. If you are sick and want to kill you, who gave you diarrhea? It wasn’t me.
He could swear that it was just an accident. The three guys ate hot pot more fiercely than him. Who knew they would be so hungry?
From the low left wing, Lao Wang's left elbow is on Da Meng's head.
But Dameng didn't press too hard, and his defensive strategy was to prevent breakthroughs but not shots. Old K's nearly two-point shooting percentage was higher than him, but letting Old K shoot here would definitely be better than letting him attack directly.
The basket is ten times better.
In the finals, he believed that the reason why the Bulls were swept by the Suns was that the Bulls were too weak inside, K. had too many offenses under the basket, and their efficiency was so high that even Jordan's luxurious outside offense could not make up for it.
Therefore, when he defends against Old K, he must defend against breakouts and not shots. Let Old K shoot from the outside. His shooting rate will never exceed 60%, at most 50%. Such a shooting rate will not kill the game, let alone the Big Three.
.
After Wang Tiejun caught the ball, he suddenly made a sideways hook movement and raised his hand upwards, attracting Da Meng to come up to him. In the next moment, he suddenly turned around and slipped to the bottom.
He must go in. The opponent is the Big Three, and their attack power is extremely powerful. The three of them can contribute at least 80 points together. This is just an ordinary performance. If he only shoots from outside, no matter how high the hit rate is, he will win.
Not the Big Three.
"Damn it!"
Dameng was shaken a bit, but his physical fitness was so good that he immediately turned around to pursue him.
"Old guy, so strong!"
Wang Tiejun's physical fitness has improved a little now, and his movement speed is a little faster. However, he found that with the advantage of taking the initiative, Dameng actually kept up with his rhythm. After he just broke into the paint area, he actually got close to him.
Being around him, he couldn't help but admire it.
As soon as Dameng got close, he was about to use his strength to push out, trying to push Lao K to the baseline, but he was suddenly hit by an elbow. Under the pain, his strength weakened.
At this time, Wang Tiejun stood up and jumped up against Barkley, who was returning to the basket.
Barkley actually put Robert Horry in the right corner two steps away, guarding the right line of the paint area. However, Wang Tiejun's offensive action after receiving the ball was too fast. His double team was a step too slow and he could not catch up.
It could only stop under the basket.
At this time, when he saw Old K flying towards him, he couldn't help but lament in his heart. It was too late to get out of the way, so he jumped up quickly to avoid being called for a blocking foul.
"Bang!"
Amidst the violent explosion of the basket, Barkley was knocked directly to the basket.
"ah!"
The whole audience burst into cheers.
Although Barkley was the core of the 1993 championship, he only played for the Suns for one year, so his popularity here is average. When they saw him being dunked by Old K, the Suns fans were filled with joy and thunderous applause.
"97:86, the Suns are still 11 points behind, and K has to continue attacking," Su Qun said.
Zhang Lili said: "If you want to win, he must play. The Suns cannot open up the outside. This is the biggest and most fundamental reason. The tactics of last season are completely useless and the tactical system must be rebuilt."
Failure to open up the outside line will cause the Mosaic team's defense to shrink, causing their own outside line to be unable to penetrate, causing the Tiejun to encounter too many double-teams in the low post, and even leading to a weakening of rebounding control, and at the same time causing the opponent's defense to
The increase in counterattacks is the result of one link after another, a chain reaction.
In addition, the outside defense is too poor. Wilkins is facing Chucky Brown. Brown is a role player and does not attack much. Wilkins should have many opportunities to help defend, but he rarely makes assists.
The rookie Finlay was directly defeated by the glider alone.
On the other hand, although Robert Horry's defensive attitude was positive, he really couldn't guard Barkley and was beaten."
At this time the Mosaic team attacked.
Dameng didn't ask for the ball. Old K's single defense is still quite good. He now has two superstars to help him. If he pulls out to contain Old K and lets Barkley and Drexler attack, he can still defeat the Suns.
The same style of play was used in the last playoffs, but at that time there was only Barkley beside him, and K had a glider beside him, so he was swept by the Suns, but this season the situation is just the opposite.
Lao Wang was holding a big dream, his arms were locked, facing the right wing.
In the low post on the right wing, Barkley received the ball and singled out Horry.
The one above is Wilkins, but this veteran superstar's awareness of assisting defense is too weak. It's not that he doesn't assist defending, but that the timing of assisting defense is quite poor.
Seeing the ball flying towards Barkley, he did not go out to double-team immediately. Instead, he delayed it until Barkley caught the ball. Then he went out to double-team. By this time, it was already too late.
Barkley arched his big butt back, and Horry couldn't handle it at all. After getting the space, he immediately turned around and shot a jumper. At this time, Wilkins' help defense was still one step away.
"Bang!"
Fortunately, Barkley lacked physical fitness tonight and played three more quarters. Now that his touch has improved, the ball missed and was scored by Wang Tiejun who returned to the basket.
"Kevin!"
Seeing the lightning outside, he shouted loudly and Lao Wang immediately passed the ball.
Lightning flashed and Kenny Smith was in hot pursuit.
Kenny Smith is called the Jet because he is fast, but he is not young anymore. He will be 31 years old soon, one year older than Kevin Johnson, so the lightning started first, and he tried his best and finally failed.
He failed to catch up, allowing the Lightning to get a layup.
97:88, the Suns were 9 points behind and started a mosaic attack.
This time it was Drexler's turn to attack. He took the ball at the left three-point line and singled out Michael Finley. He made a fake shot and made a breakthrough. He controlled the rhythm very well and easily shook the rookie, and then he suddenly broke out.
Go in.
At this time, Dameng suddenly moved towards the basket. Wang Tiejun had no way to come up to cover the defense and had no choice but to follow up. Drexler reached the left midfielder of the paint area, made an emergency stop jumper, and hit a goal.
99:88, the score difference reached 11 points again.
The Suns attacked and the Lightning played three quarters. His physical condition was a little better than last season. At this time, he didn't have much physical ability to make penetration breakthroughs.
Therefore, when the other three players only had the ability to play without the ball, Wang Tiejun began to take over the ball.
In the low post on the left wing, he carried Dameng and received the lightning pass, and started to hit Dameng with his back.
Dameng's weight is now 118 kilograms, which is 14 kilograms smaller. In front of Lao Wang, who is good at low post fights, this is a huge gap. Lao Wang can use his most powerful back fight skills to take advantage of this tonnage gap.
, expand to the maximum.
Before catching the ball, his left elbow was stuck outside to prevent Dameng from sticking to him, leaving a certain space. The moment he caught the ball, his offense began.
Without any unnecessary movements, he lowered his left elbow, moved his left foot inward at the same time, and started the bear step. The moment he approached the big dream, the iron mountain exploded with strength.
Dameng and Wang Tiejun have been playing each other for three seasons, and they have been psychologically prepared for Lao K's blow, but this time they still didn't get out of the way in time.
However, his defensive strategy was to prevent breakthroughs rather than shots, and he was also mentally prepared to retreat in time without letting the iron mountain hit him. Although he staggered after being hit, he immediately stabilized his center of gravity.
He stood in front of Old K again.
"The old guy's defense is really strong!"
It didn't hit the ball, it was like it was dodged. Lao Wang's feet were a little weak and the ball was a little out of control. He quickly stopped and relied on the ball to regain control of the ball.
At this time, under Dameng's hard defense, Barkley got the opportunity to help defend. He came out from behind and was double-teamed. Lao Wang could only quickly choose to combine the ball, raise the ball high with both hands, and at the same time look towards
The right wing swept.
At this glance, he saw Wilkins cutting into the paint area, and he quickly threw the ball over Dameng's head.
Dameng jumped and missed the shot. The ball fell into Wilkins' hands. He took advantage of the situation and made a layup and hit a goal.
"Hit! But Mosaic's defense is really good. Dameng should have prevented Tiejun's attack. Barkley also helped defend in time. It's just that Tiejun's ability to distribute the ball is too strong. They can stop his attack, but
If you can't stop him from passing the ball, you have to pay the price for double-teaming." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Bang!"
The Mosaic team attacked, and Drexler missed the jump shot this time.
Wang Tiejun protected the rebound from the backcourt and once again beat Dream in the low post on the left wing.
Mosaic was very determined to double-team him in the low post, and Dameng desperately tried to prevent him from entering the basket. He was double-teamed again, and then chose to distribute the ball. Without Horry in the right corner, the weak side was cutting the paint.
Wilkins of the district.
Chucky Brown, who faced off against Wilkins, was considered the weakest link among the Mosaic team. He had no offensive mission and was just trying to defend Wilkins. At this time, he chased after him without letting go.
At the same time, Barkley and Dameng turned and rushed towards the basket, forming a three-team attack on Wilkins.
But at this time, the double attack has not yet taken shape. Wilkins, who receives the ball, has space and time to pass the ball. As long as he passes the ball back to Wang Tiejun, Lao Wang, who has no defender around him, can do whatever he wants.
Unfortunately, he had no idea of distributing the ball. He changed direction and got rid of Chucky Brown beside him. He wanted to pass between Dameng and Barkley and get to the basket. As a result, he was double-teamed by the two.
Meatloaf, the ball was snatched away by Chucky Brown who followed up.
The Mosaic team launched a defensive counterattack, but fortunately the lightning was so powerful that Kenny Smith was unable to make a fast break and turned into a positional battle.
"Wilkins has been in the green team for a year, why is he still playing like a superstar and not passing the ball in one-on-three?" Su Qun said in confusion.
Zhang Lili analyzed: "It's a result of habit and ability. With this lineup, Robert Horry needs to shoot more accurately, and the same goes for Finley. If they don't show enough ability to stretch, the Suns will be very difficult."
difficulty."
At this time, Barkley was playing Horry alone, turned around and slid to the bottom, and once again met Wang Tiejun's defense with a small throw.
"Crack!"
Unfortunately, Lao Wang was quicker to defend this time and made a big shot in time. Then he took off twice and used his height to forcefully win the ball over Barkley's head.
When the Suns attacked, he came to the frontcourt, came down from the free throw line, and moved to the basket with Da Meng on his back. The latter couldn't carry him, and was stopped by the former in the reasonable collision area in front of the basket.
At this moment, Lightning passed the ball in.
At the same time, Barkley and small forward Chucky Brown all rushed over, and Mosaic's shrinking defensive formation suddenly shrank into the penalty area.
"Crack!"
Wang Tiejun caught the ball with one hand, and Barkley and the others were already one step away and within reach.
In the next moment, he jumped up sideways, stuck his left elbow in place, resisted the big dream behind him, and hit a side hook with his right hand.
The movements of getting up and taking action were too fast, and Barkley and others were unable to double-team him. It was impossible for Dameng to catch such a sideways hook.
"Bang!"
The basketball hits the board head-on and then bounces into the basket.
"Beautiful! You have to do it yourself. With this kind of hook under the basket, Tiejun's hit rate will not be lower than 70%." Zhang Liangli said excitedly:
"99:92, the Suns are only 7 points behind now and still have a chance to come back."
