Chapter 434 The first four-double in the history of the NBA playoffs
"Offensive in the low post, I want to attack in the low post, do you understand? Starting from the second quarter, reduce jump shots and go down to play. Postman, you take the lead, you are the leader of this team, don't be afraid of being blocked, anyway, you have enough hats."
There are too many, so what are you afraid of?"
On the bench, Jerry Sloan was roaring like an angry old lion.
"I know." The postman replied in a low voice.
"Also, Old K played a whole quarter. He should take a break in the next quarter. You can continue to play and catch up with some points." Jerry Sloan added.
"OK." The postman nodded.
But no, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lao Wang stood up from the bench.
Because of the huge score advantage, Danny Ainge wanted him to take a rest, but he refused. The Jazz definitely wanted to chase points, and he had to go on the court to avoid this result. He directly defeated the Jazz in two quarters, making it impossible for them to come back today.
As long as you win this game and get the match point, the outcome of the Western Conference Finals will basically be decided. It's worth the hard work.
"Damn it!"
Jerry Sloan saw Wang Tiejun standing up again. Did he not intend to let Jazz and others live?
The second quarter started with the Jazz attacking.
"Come in, postman."
Lao Wang faced the postman and when he saw the postman pulling him out, he quickly waved and shouted.
The postman felt humiliated, damn old K, are you bullying me for my poor low post shooting skills?
But he had to admit that his low post playing skills were really not enough under the defense of Lao K.
"Get in!"
Seeing the postman being pulled outside again, Jerry Sloan on the sidelines roared in anger.
The postman had no choice but to turn around and run towards the restricted area.
"Okay, it's right here, you can ask for the ball." Lao Wang blocked the postman on the left side of the paint area and said in a commanding tone.
"Shut up!"
The postman became angry and gave him a hidden elbow, which temporarily stopped Lao Wang's trash talk.
At this time, Stockton's ball was passed down. He used his left elbow to block Old K and stretched out his right hand to prepare to catch the ball.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang pushed his chest forward and returned the postman with an elbow.
The postman groaned in pain when he was elbowed and almost lost the ball. He hurriedly reached it up with both hands and jumped a small step forward with both feet at the same time before controlling the ball.
"Bang bang..."
Next, he started dribbling and beating Wang Tiejun.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded, and he pointed at the postman and made an illegal gesture.
The postman was dumbfounded. What violation did I make? I didn’t walk or turn my wrist. Did I violate the rule?
When he saw the referee pat his shoulder, he realized that he was leaning sideways to hit the violation, and he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn K-Law!"
"Hahaha……"
Barkley laughed like crazy in the live broadcast booth.
Bill Walton was also laughing so hard that he was speechless.
Bass Felton said with a smile: "The victims of K's Law this season have now proven that this law does not only harm K, but all low-post players."
Barkley smiled and shouted at this time: "Come on, Old K is just restricted, but the number of violations he has made is quite small. Someone has counted that the number of violations he made on the K Rule throughout the season did not exceed five times, three or four.
.”
Bill Walton said at this time: "I don't know if coach Jerry Sloan has considered it. Now in the entire league, how many players have the ability to play behind K in the low post? How many players dare to play in the low post with K?
"
This question made Buckley and Bas Felton stunned.
When they think about it, hey, it doesn’t seem like there are many.
Barkley immediately shouted excitedly: "Let's talk about the three super centers first. David Robinson rarely plays behind K., he always plays K. facing the basket.
Ewing, the number of times he played K in the back was quite rare. He usually faced the basket. Even if he played in the back, he would use the ball to jump, and then shoot a jumper while facing the basket.
Dameng also hit Old K from behind, but he mainly used his pace to shake Old K away and then attack facing the basket. There were also very few real back-up attacks.
To sum up, among the three super centers, very few can actually play behind K. In most cases, they choose to play K. facing the basket."
Bass Felton nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, that's the situation. Old K's defensive barrier is too big. Even if he doesn't jump, as long as he stands there, it will be difficult to take a shot from his head.
If there is any center in the league who regularly plays K in the back, there is only one big guy, and he is..."
"Big shark." The three people said in unison.
Buckley shook his head and smiled: "Definitely not including the postman anyway."
"Facing Old K's defense, the postman is almost the same height and will be blocked. Moreover, his mobility is not as good as Old K's, and his elbows cannot deal with Old K. When he beats Old K, he usually uses pick-and-roll shots.
." Bill Walton said.
At this time, the Suns' attack failed. The Jazz grabbed the rebound and started to attack. The postman once again hit Old K with his back in the low post.
First, he dribbled the ball and arched his back twice. He didn't move during the first arch. When he arched the second time, Lao Wang hit him hard, knocking him forward and staggering him forward. He almost made a mistake.
He had no choice but to pass the ball to Russell who was receiving the ball, then made a transition and then received it back.
"He committed a foul!" yelled Jerry Sloan.
The linesman next to him ignored him. This is the home court of the Jazz, but you can't brag about it. Just now, K didn't move his feet, and there was no unnecessary movement of his elbows and shoulders. He just exerted force on his chest. This is normal.
In the confrontation, how could there be any foul?
At this time, the ball returned to the postman's hands. This time he only arched it, and then immediately turned over and shot a jumper.
His jumping ability itself is average, coupled with his knee injury and his huge tonnage, he cannot jump at all, so the height of his shot is very limited.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang stood up suddenly and fished the ball out of the sky with one hand.
"Shet!"
At this moment, countless people on Jazz's side, including the postman, could not help but curse.
Jerry Sloan spread his hands helplessly. There was nothing he could do. His own core was directly suppressed by his opponent's core. He was crushed in all kinds of ways. How could he fight?
"Haha..." Buckley laughed like crazy again.
Bill Walton laughed and said: "To be honest, the postman's back-up skills are really mediocre. His tonnage, strength, height, leaping wingspan, etc. are all at a disadvantage in front of Old K. The result of playing behind Old K is really not going to be wonderful.
What he's good at is facing the basket and mid-range shots, so let's just play according to what he's good at."
Bass Felton said: "This is K's seventh block. If the Jazz continue to emphasize low-post offense, K will have at least 10 blocks today."
The Jazz took another big hit, and the morale that had just recovered was hit again. The offense was driven outside again, and they did not dare to approach the paint area.
"Crack!"
In the 7th minute of the second quarter, one step outside the paint area, Wang Tiejun seized the opportunity to block the shot again, allowing the postman who shot after the pick-and-roll to swallow another block, and got the 8th big block of the game.
"Postman, you'll be safer if you stay further away." After hating his opponent, he continued to use trash talk to undermine his opponent's psychology.
In the 11th minute, the Jazz were running a pick-and-roll in the high post. He found the Postman again, rushed to a position one step inside the arc, and blocked the Postman's shot with a slap.
"I'm telling you, further away, further away, it's safer outside the three-point line." Lao Wang's trash talk came again.
"Get away!"
After swallowing several hats and being criticized, the postman almost fainted. If it weren't for Old K standing in front of him, he wouldn't have endured it.
At the end of the second quarter, the score difference reached 20 points. The Jazz's morale had dropped to the bottom. Many fans took advantage of the opportunity and never returned. When the second half started, the stadium was half empty.
In the 8th minute of the third quarter, Wang made his 10th block, and then the Suns counterattacked. Kobe succeeded in a fast break, widening the point difference to 27 points.
At this time, the Jazz called a timeout again.
So far in the game, the Jazz have been calling timeouts, and the Suns have not called a timeout.
Jerry Sloan didn't intend to give up the game, and he didn't want to give up this game at home. Losing this game would give the Suns a match point, and the Jazz would have almost no strength or opportunity to come back, and a season's worth of hard work would be wasted again.
He knew that the chance of making a comeback today was actually very small, almost non-existent. With such a big point difference, the Suns were in high spirits and the Jazz had no morale, but he still wanted to give it a try. What if there was a reversal?
But at this time, a staff member came to him with a statistics table. He looked at it and froze for five seconds. The anger in his heart dissipated like a burst balloon.
"Lol, let the substitute come on. You can take charge." He handed the data sheet to assistant coach Luol and sat on the bench disappointedly.
"Almost four pairs?"
Lohr looked at the data sheet and his mouth opened wide. Only then did he understand why Jerry Sloan, who had always been strong, gave up the game at home.
The crowd on the Suns bench was so excited that everyone felt like they had been pumped.
Lao Wang was holding a statistics table, and his hands were shaking. Four pairs, he was actually going to get four pairs? He hadn't tried this thing yet. What does it feel like? It should taste good, right?
"It must be taken down. This record must be taken down."
"Yes, a quadruple-double, the fifth in the history of the league, the first quadruple-double in the playoffs, the first quadruple-double in the playoffs!"
"It's just one assist away. It's definitely a quadruple-double!"
From the coaches to the players, from Colangelo to the staff, they all had the same attitude and got a quadruple-double.
There was a lot of excitement in the TNT live broadcast booth, because the three Barkleys were discussing the four-double that Lao Wang was about to get.
"What?"
Barkley, who got the statistics first, was shocked when he saw it.
"What's going on?"
The other two people were surprised.
Buckley glanced at the two of them, shook his head, and said with an incredible expression on his face: "You must have no idea how terrible the data in my hand is."
"Tell us quickly." The two of them said urgently.
"okokok!"
Barkley put away his incredulous expression and replaced it with an extremely excited expression, shouting: "Listen up, 26 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 10 blocks..."
"What?"
Both Bill Walton and Bill Walton were shocked.
"Incredible, I didn't expect that Old K might have a quadruple-double today. No, as long as he continues to play, a quadruple-double is certain." Barkley shouted excitedly.
"With this quadruple-double, K is the fifth person in history on the quadruple-double list, and the first person in history at the same time. Wow, it must feel great!" Bill Walton said with envy.
"What is the fifth person in the history of quadruple-doubles? If Old K gets a quadruple-double, he is the first person in the history of quadruple-doubles. The value of the playoffs is much higher than that of the regular season." Barkley shouted.
"Yes, yes..." The other two nodded in agreement at the same time.
"Lao K is actually almost having a quadruple pair?"
"How is that possible?"
"Really or not?"
"No one has had a quadruple-double in the playoffs?"
"God, are you wearing No. 33 for the Suns today?"
At this time, countless fans in front of the TV were stunned.
"Four pairs?"
O'Neal in front of the TV was shocked, old K, do you want to show off like this?
"Four pairs, how is that possible?"
Jordan in front of the TV was also stunned. This was a statistic that he could not even imagine. It was difficult for him to achieve a triple-double in the playoffs. So far, he has only scored a triple-double twice in the playoffs.
"Wow, Brother Tiejun is actually going to score four pairs?" Dayao shouted excitedly at Lao Wang's house in Phoenix.
The gliders, Thunder God, Hu Weidong and others next to them were also very excited and happy. Only Dameng had a look of disbelief on his face and kept shaking his head.
"Hakeem, old K can't play 5*5, but the four pairs of feet in this playoffs can offset your 5*5 statistics in the regular season." Glider turned around and said.
"This guy is so lucky today!"
Dameng had to express his admiration. He had only hit a quadruple-double once in the regular season and had not tried it in the playoffs. Unexpectedly, Lao K was about to get a quadruple-double today.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun said excitedly: "If I block another shot, I will break the record."
Zhang Lili, who looked very excited, laughed, as if he had picked up a mountain of gold. He handed over the statistics table in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiaosu, look, look, you only noticed the blocking, you will
Looking at other statistics, it’s a quadruple-double, one assist away.”
"What?"
Su Qun was shocked and quickly took a look at the statistics table. He punched the table with a bang, which made him excited and a little bit out of control.
The data sheet in his hand showed that Wang Tiejun made 10 of 14 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, 26 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 10 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, just one short of a quadruple-double.
The league has only produced four quadruple-doubles in total now, all of which are regular season data. There are no quadruple-doubles in the playoffs. If Old K gets this quadruple-double, his status in the league will definitely improve.
At this time, Wang Tiejun's data was displayed on the hanging screen.
"Wow, it's almost a quadruple pair?"
"God, don't let him type it out, otherwise we will be the backdrop."
There were only half of the home fans left. They were surprised at first, and then immediately started talking. They had the same attitude that they would never allow Lao Wang to have a quadruple-double.
"Four pairs! Four pairs! Four pairs..."
When thousands of away fans saw this data, they were surprised and shouted.
But at this time, Barkley stared at the screen hesitantly and said: "No, the Jazz are going to be on the bench?"
"What?" Bill Walton and Felton were surprised.
"Old K, don't worry about them, just go up and get this quadruple-double even as a substitute. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time." Barkley said anxiously.
Bill Walton and Bill Walton also nodded repeatedly. With this kind of data, who cares if you are on the main team or on the bench? You will still get it if you are on the bench.
In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Su Qun was excited when he saw a group of Jazz substitutes taking off their training uniforms. Are they getting ready to play? He quickly counted, damn, there were five of them?
"No way, what do you want to do with five substitutes at this time?" he asked in shock.
After Zhang Lili reacted, he sighed and said: "What else can we do? Give up the game."
"Oh, hold on a little longer, Sir, I beg you?" Su Qun said anxiously.
"The Jazz had no morale at all, but it was completely destroyed by the Iron Army's ten big blows. There is no point in holding on any longer."
Zhang Lili sighed again and analyzed: "The Suns won the game today relying on defense and not relying on the Tiejun's offense. The Jazz should be convinced of the defeat. It is reasonable to give up the game. It is completely meaningless to continue to play."
Su Qun scolded: "Sir, you are too despicable!"
Zhang Lili said: "If the Jazz give up the game at this time, the league may not be satisfied, and it will affect the ratings!"
He was also right. At this time, Stern was very unhappy, very unhappy.
It was not easy for someone to have a chance to play a quadruple-double in the playoffs, but the Jazz actually gave up the game. This made him angry. He wanted to pick up the phone and call the Suns. Leave the Jazz alone and let Old K play until he gets a quadruple-double.
.
On the Suns bench, seeing the situation on the Jazz side, disappointment and anger suddenly arose.
"Old K, keep going, don't give up such a good opportunity." Lightning said angrily.
"Old K, come on, come on, come on, leave them alone," Kobe yelled.
"Yes, old K, come on." Other teammates such as Kidd and Rasheed Wallace also agreed.
"That's right, Lao K, he is only one assist away. If you want to hit such numbers next time, you may not have a chance." Danny Ainge, as the head coach, also expressed his support for Lao Wang to continue playing.
Lao Wang is very angry. He has four double-doubles in the playoffs. He doesn’t want me to get such data. Why? Don’t even think about stopping me. I have decided on this data today.
He stiffened his neck and blurted out: "Come on, Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game, and I also scored a quadruple-double."
"Yes, that's it." Everyone encouraged in unison.
"Old K, do you want to continue fighting?"
When they saw Wang Tiejun preparing to take the field, the Jazz were shocked, all the fans in the audience were shocked, several commentators in the live broadcast seats were also shocked, and countless fans in front of the TV were also shocked.
"Despicable, old K, you are such a scumbag!"
Immediately, some Jazz fans stood up, pointed at Lao Wang and shouted.
"Brush! Brush! Brush..."
More and more home fans started to curse and put pressure on Lao Wang.
The postman and other major jazz players also stood up and looked at Lao Wang dissatisfied.
"Four pairs! Four pairs..."
Thousands of away fans began to support Lao Wang and kept shouting.
"Old K, I support you."
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley raised his fist and shouted excitedly.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili and Su Qun burst into laughter.
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "That's right. It doesn't matter whether they give up or not. Let's get the data first and then talk about it. It's just one assist away. Fans will only remember the great quadruple-double in the playoffs. Who cares if you get one assist? How big is it?"
What's the matter?"
"Is an assist also called a brush?" Su Qun said with an excited smile.
"Haha..." The two laughed.
Lao Wang glanced at the audience with disdain, and said disdainfully: "I have determined the data today, and it will be useless even if I, the King of Heaven, come here."
"superior!"
Danny Ainge pushed Lao Wang onto the court.
"Shh!"
Seeing that Lao Wang finally came on the field, huge boos immediately started.
"ah!"
The away fans refused to be outdone and expressed their support for Lao Wang with cheers.
"coach?"
The postman and others looked at Jerry Sloan sitting on the bench.
Sloan's face looked ugly and he closed his eyes, indicating that he didn't care.
"Sit down, there's only one assist left, you can't stop him even if you go up." Lohr said helplessly.
"Damn it, old K!" the postman yelled angrily and sat down in depression.
He also figured out that it was better to sit on the field and let Old K get a quadruple-double based on his strength than to serve as a backdrop and let Old K get a quadruple-double with more or less flaws.
"Pa bang bang..."
In New York, David Stern couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands when he saw K. coming on the court under pressure to strive for a quadruple-double.
In his opinion, this is not called brushing at all, it is just an assist. If Old K gives up, it is called stupid and brainless.
This is not some 40 or 50 scoring data in a single game. It is unprecedented data like this, and it may also be unprecedented. Although it is only a single game data, it is so rare. It is the only one in fifty years, which is enough.
Hard honor, if Lao K gives up, he will be very disappointed.
Super giants like Jordan and Dameng in front of the TV had very complicated emotions at this time. If Old K got this data, another honor would be on their heads.
However, they don’t think that Old K is just brushing up the data. If it were them, whoever is better would be stupid. This is not a data record that can be copied. This is a quadruple-double in the playoffs, the only one in history, and it is pure gold.
If you miss it once, there may never be another one. Based on this data, Lao K's historical status can definitely be improved a lot.
"brush!"
At the Delta State Center Arena, just 89 seconds later, following Wang Tiejun's pass, Robert Horry made an open jumper and hit a three-pointer, giving Wang his 10th assist.
"yeah!"
At this moment, thousands of away fans, Suns players on the Suns bench and on the court were all cheering, and the game had to be suspended.
On the contrary, the remaining half of the home fans got up and left early.
Wang Tiejun walked off the court surrounded by his teammates, accepted the cheers of thousands of Suns fans alone, and waved to the fans in front of the TV through the cameras of various TV stations.
The next game is the time for substitutes, but the high court has passed, the result of the game has been determined, and the attention is no longer high.
