Chapter 357 Magic Infighting+Three consecutive games 50+
The next day, influenced by the Japanese media, various media outlets in Phoenix also began to praise Wang Tiejun.
This made the media in other places dissatisfied, and the Chicago media took the lead in counterattacking.
"The regular season schedule is not even halfway through, and with the massive consumption of physical energy, Old K may not be able to maintain such a strong performance until the end of the season, so excessive praise may become a joke." Chicago Sports News.
"There are only 27 games out of 82 in the regular season. The Suns' lineup is not strong and there is no possibility of maintaining their strength. If Old K wants to win the MVP, the chance this season will not exceed 10%." Chicago Daily.
"The Lightning is very strong this season, at its peak, but he has no helpers on the outside. The pressure is all on him. Once injured, the Suns will collapse directly. How can Old K talk about MVP?" Chicago Financial Weekly.
Time entered 1996. On the morning of the 1st, the league announced the ranking of last month’s MVP. Wang Tiejun ranked first for two consecutive months, and Jordan ranked second.
At the same time, on this day, officials also announced that voting for the 1996 All-Stars has officially begun.
The Suns continue to rest at home, waiting for the home game on the 4th.
On the second day, the Mosaic team defeated the Timberwolves in the away game and rushed to Chicago overnight. On the third day, they played back-to-back away games with the Bulls.
Lao Wang watched this game. Although the big three of Dameng are injured from time to time, he never dares to underestimate them. Once they enter the playoffs, these three old guys will definitely become three tigers.
However, bad luck. In that night's game, the Mosaic team suffered another injury, and it was one of the Big Three.
While grabbing a rebound, Drexler, the glider, was kicked over by Rodman in the air. He fell to the floor from the air and injured his waist. He lay down on the spot and could not get up.
"Asshole, don't stop me!"
The bad-tempered Barkley was about to explode on the spot, but was stopped by Jordan.
"Fake oil, die!"
However, Dameng, who was on the bench, rushed into the court angrily and punched Rodman. He was pulled away by several people and was ejected by the referee.
"You did it deliberately and willingly. It's so shameful! Michael, you deserve to be beaten twice by Old K in a row, and you will be killed by him again..."
Dameng was filled with grief and anger. While walking out of the court while protecting Drexler's stretcher, he yelled at Jordan. In his excitement, he became a little incoherent.
He pointed at Barkley and Drexler to help him win the championship. Glider looked seriously injured. This season might be over again. He was in a terrible mood and wanted to kill the big bug.
.
Jordan's face turned pale with anger, damn old gangster, how did you talk, am I that kind of person?
Out of concern, Lao Wang contacted Glider and sent a text message. Glider called him ten minutes later.
"How's it going, Clyde?" he asked after answering the phone.
Drexler sighed: "Oh, it's so unlucky. My body is actually quite healthy this year and I've taken good care of it. I haven't had any major injuries. But accidents always happen unexpectedly. This time it's really too bad."
Too bad!"
"It's all the fault of that bastard Rodman, is he as good at rebounding as he is?" Dameng's roar sounded next to him.
"Where is it hurt?" Lao Wang asked.
"My waist is injured," Drexler said in frustration.
"Old K, your medicated oil massage is unreliable. You spent so much money, but it still hurts you?" Dameng shouted dissatisfied again.
Lao Wang immediately scolded: "Dameng, are you out of your mind? If it wasn't my medicated oil massage, the injury might be even worse this time.
No matter how strong your ability to resist injuries is, it still doesn’t mean you won’t get hurt, don’t you understand?”
"Okay, Hakeem, this is just an accident. Injuries are inevitable during games."
Drexler is in a better mood than Dameng. After all, he already has a ring in his hand and a big contract, so he has nothing to worry about.
Dameng was speechless and stopped talking in frustration.
Everyone understands that the effect of medicated oil massage is there, but no matter how strong the effect of the medicine is, it can only enhance some resistance to injuries, make the body healthier, and maintain the body better, but it does not prevent you from avoiding diseases.
Injuried.
"Clyde, if you don't need surgery, come to my martial arts studio and find an acupuncturist to help you recover. It will be very effective." Finally, Lao Wang said.
"Don't worry, I can do it. I've tried acupuncture and it's really effective for this kind of injury." Drexler said with a smile.
…
Bang bang bang...
Zhizhizhi...
At the Suns training base, a group of players are sweating profusely in training.
With Wang Tiejun taking the lead, even veteran Wilkins would not dare not train hard.
Of course, the training intensity of a veteran like him must be reduced, but his attitude is very serious.
In the first half, Wang Tiejun was playing Ben Wallace in the low post on the left wing.
Ben Wallace pressed against Wang Tiejun from behind, leaning forward and using his chest to push against Wang Tiejun's lower back. He also used his head to push against Wang Tiejun's back, and only had to bite him with his mouth.
The height difference between the two is too big, and the size difference is also very big. It's like an adult hitting a child, which looks very funny.
"Push harder, Ben, push harder..."
Lao Wang roared loudly, then suddenly turned around and slipped into the paint. At the same time, Ben, who was holding the ball, rushed out and hit the floor. His nose was bleeding from the collision, and he was in a miserable state.
"Ha ha……"
The trainers and staff watching the excitement burst into laughter.
Daben got up awkwardly and was greeted by Wang Tiejun's scolding.
"Ben, you idiot, use your brain when defending. The attacker must make preparations before releasing his force. There must be precursors, such as moving his feet, such as using force to push you away first. You must pay attention to these small movements.
Learn to anticipate your opponent's attacks...think about it, what did I do before I turned around?"
Daben blinked his eyes, wiped the nosebleed, and said: "Boss, your left elbow pushed me first."
"Do you know why you are not prepared? Are you like a stupid donkey? Do you think there is a swimming pool in front of you, or is there a beautiful woman waiting for you to get in?" Lao Wang cursed again.
Da Ben was scolded bloody, but he was used to it and said expressionlessly: "Boss, do it again."
"Go away and get rid of your blood first." Lao Wang roared.
When he was teaching people, he really didn't have a good temper. It would be fine if the people he was teaching were smart, but if he could never teach someone as stupid as Ben, his patience would soon run out. In this regard,
He is really not a qualified guide.
When I first taught Kobe Bryant, that kid was pretty smart, but he also scolded him a lot. Now Ben is scolded by him every day.
Fortunately, I have a kind and honest personality, and I work hard enough and have a strong will. As long as I have the opportunity to learn skills, no matter how much I scold him, he will pretend not to have heard me.
On the 4th, the Suns faced the Timberwolves, a bad team, at home.
This is the second game between the two teams and the second home game, followed by two away games.
In addition, Robert Horry returned in this game and served as a substitute.
Garnett came on as a substitute in this game, and was even worse than the previous game. He played 23 minutes, also made 1 of 4 shots, no free throws, and only scored 2 points and 6 rebounds.
Lao Wang was not polite to the rookie. Although there was no matchup, he also gave Garnett a big block in the defense.
He only played 32 minutes in this game before going down. At this time, the Suns were almost 20 points ahead. He only scored 31 points and 14 rebounds. The opponent was too weak and did not need him to exert his full strength. If he played more, he would be
Scored.
With the Suns' lineup, there is no need to score points at all. In the second half after the All-Star Game, when teammates are exhausted, the rotation of the lineup increases. Since he wants to hit the record, he must stand up and carry the team alone.
If you rush forward, there will be plenty of opportunities to score points.
After beating the Timberwolves, the Suns rushed to Los Angeles overnight. There is a back-to-back game waiting for them tomorrow.
In back-to-back games, facing the Clippers, the Suns suffered from physical limitations and their teammates were not in good condition. Wang Tiejun played 46 minutes and scored 43 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, almost a triple-double, and led the team to win this game.
game.
After losing to Mosaic on December 19 last year, the Suns went on a winning streak that lasted for half a month, and currently have 8 consecutive wins.
It is currently 26 wins and 3 losses, tied for first place with the Bulls.
After playing the Clippers, the next game is on the 9th, against the Clippers at home. There is no game for several days. The Suns have the next day off and disband. The players can play in Los Angeles for a day and gather in Phoenix on the afternoon of the 7th.
.
Wang Tiejun stayed in Los Angeles and spent some time with Yu Feihong.
On the 9th, the Suns suffered injuries. During the game against the Clippers, Lightning Kevin Johnson injured his wrist and will be sidelined for at least half a month.
This news is not very friendly to Wang Tiejun, but there is nothing he can do about injuries. He can only deal with them passively. From this day on, he will carry the team completely on his shoulders and move forward.
In the main lineup, the two rookies, Ben Wallace and Michael Finley, are of little use right now. The backup point guard Perry is also very poor. Person is also an average guy. He can occasionally break out, but he has no ability to do a sustained job.
Strong contribution.
The substitute lineup, on the other hand, has no problem because of Wilkins. Now that the main lineup is weakened, the substitute lineup can fill in the gaps for the main lineup.
As for Horry, he has been playing as a substitute since his return from No. 4. Although Ben Wallace's performance is not very good, he has stable rebounds, averaging 8.5 per game, and his defensive effect is not bad.
He was able to defend and showed a certain ability to help defend, so the coaching staff has not adjusted the main lineup for the time being.
And Horry staying on the bench, together with Wilkins, can make the Suns' bench better and even fill holes for the main lineup.
However, Wang Tiejun can only rely on Wang Tiejun to carry the main lineup, taking care of both offense and defense, the most important rebounding, plus some organizational functions.
In the next three games, Wang Tiejun went all out for the sake of record. With his efforts, he defeated the Warriors, Mavericks, and Cavaliers in a row, achieving a record of 30 wins and 3 losses.
In these three games, his average playing time reached 45 minutes. When he only rested for two or three minutes in each game, he scored 51 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists, 54 points, 21 rebounds and 5 assists, and a terrifying 57 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists.
data.
None of these three teams have strong inside players, and he completely dominated the low post.
But even with such a horrific personal performance, the Suns had a very difficult time winning. It was a narrow victory against the Cavaliers, winning by only two points.
But three consecutive games with 50 scores really made him steal the show.
Previously, in the history of the NBA, there was a record of consecutive 50 games in the regular season. Several stars such as Rick Barry had two consecutive 50 games. Jordan had three consecutive 50 games in 1987. Chamberlain even had seven consecutive 50 games. Now Wang Tiejun has
It ties Jordan's second record.
But he had already scored 40 five times before. In just 33 games this season, he scored 50 seven times. This performance completely shocked the United States. There were suddenly many voices calling for the introduction of restrictive rules across the league.
Got up.
However, many media are speculating on how many games Wang Tiejun's consecutive 50-game tour can last. Most media believe that it may be interrupted next time because Old K will encounter another giant beast.
When Magic Johnson was interviewed by the media in Los Angeles, he talked about Lao Wang's recent performance. He said: "Now Lao K is consuming a lot of precious physical reserves. This is not good news for the Suns' prospects in the playoffs. I think
He can take it back appropriately and wait for the return of lightning. Of course, I know what he wants and I understand his approach.
I think his current situation is somewhat similar to Jordan's back then. They are both waiting for the team's reconstruction to be completed and their teammates to grow.
This situation is the same as what he said himself. The Suns should be hiding at the bottom now, and he should accumulate strength instead of blooming recklessly."
In response to media doubts, Suns president and former general manager Colangelo Sr. accepted an interview with the New York Times in New York.
"Mr. Colangelo, the media generally believes that the Suns are not strong enough to compete for the championship this season. So when Lightning is injured, do you agree with Old K's desperate outbreak? Is this an overdraft of the Suns?
, harming the interests of the Suns is also an act of overdraft on his own body?" the reporter asked.
As for the current situation of the team, Colangelo, as the team president, has a clearer understanding. The team's goal in the next few seasons is to complete reconstruction and rush to the championship at the same time. Old K is just doing it early.
It was settled, and he agreed to it. Even if he didn't agree with Lao K's desperate outburst, he couldn't stop it.
And this kind of explosion of Old K, he has scored 50 points in three consecutive games, and has completed 50 points 7 times this season. His crazy performance this season is like a catalyst, directly causing the Suns' basketball market to skyrocket. As the owner, he is very happy about this.
occurrence of a situation.
Of course, what the reporter said makes sense. When the team's strength is not perfect, if the team breaks out at all costs, the consumption of Old K will definitely be greater. Moreover, this is the regular season, and there is no need to work so hard.
But Lao K wants to win the MVP, he wants to fight, so no one can stop him, including him, and he can only support it.
Facing reporters' questions, he smiled and said: "So far, Old K has not had any injuries that have sidelined him. His attendance rate is one of the best in the league, he is very healthy, and the Lightning will be back after another week of rest.
, I don’t think that the outbreak during this period will cause irreversible consumption of Lao K. This is impossible, I believe him.”
On January 17, 1996, the Suns will face the Orlando Magic at home.
Previously, the Magic had 27 wins and 9 losses, with a winning rate of 75%. This record is very good.
Previously, under the leadership of Penny Hardaway, in the absence of O'Neal, he had a record of 17 wins and 5 losses, with a winning rate of 77%. After O'Neal returned, he achieved a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, and the winning rate in these 14 games was 71%.
The overall winning rate dropped by 6 percentage points. Looking at it this way, it seems that when O'Neal was there, the winning rate was smaller, and Hardaway's leadership results were better.
This makes O'Neal very embarrassed. The media in Orlando always ask him this question, why did the team's record get worse when you were there? Could it be that your presence affected the team?
As a result, the media in Orlando began to accuse O'Neal. They took out every weakness of O'Neal and compared it with Old K. They even did not work as hard as Old K in training, defended as hard as Old K, and attacked as powerfully as Old K. etc., which made O'Neal miserable.
I'm almost suffering from depression.
The media outside of Orlando are hyping up the news about the internal strife between O'Neal and Hardaway because they discovered that there was almost no communication between O'Neal and Hardaway when they were on the court, and the latter rarely passed the ball to O'Neal, which led to these dozen
In each game, O'Neal's data has declined to a certain extent compared to last season.
On the afternoon of the 16th, the Magic arrived in Phoenix. O'Neal went to the K-Martial Arts Gym to find Lao Wang and complained to him.
