The game was paused for 25 minutes, and the staff slowly replaced the backboards and baskets before the game restarted.
It was the seventh minute and 20 seconds of the first quarter, the score was 12:18, and the Suns relied on 6 points at home.
Wang Tiejun made three deductions and scored 6 points.
The Hornets attack and Mourning moves out to get the ball.
After he attracted Wang Tiejun out, he suddenly turned around, bypassed the latter, and entered the paint area. At this time, the ball came in. He caught the ball and dunked, blowing over the Suns' basket.
"Escape prisoner, wooden stake, perverted coolie, idiot, these are all synonymous with you." After succeeding, Mo Ning excitedly sprayed Lao Wang non-stop.
"You only have one pronoun, you are a weakling who was beaten by me." Lao Wang made Moning crazy with just one sentence.
"Fake Oil!"
You rode me and now you still humiliate me, are you still a human being? Angry Mourning rushed to Lao Wang and pushed hard with both hands.
Lao Wang was pushed back half a step and was about to fight back when he was blocked by the referee who intervened desperately.
"Dog food!"
He cursed, pointed at Mourning and roared: "You weakling, you have the guts to fight me."
"I'll wait for you." Mourning shouted sharply.
The two came to the Suns' frontcourt while cursing.
"Old K, knock his lungs out!"
Kevin Johnson was not afraid of trouble and threw the ball to Lao Wang in the low post on the left wing.
"Okay!" Lao Wang cheered.
"Pfft!"
Barkley couldn't control himself and took the lead in laughing.
"Old K, hit him!"
The four Suns players all pulled away and smiled as they watched Lao Wang beat Mourning in the low post.
"Crash him! Crash him..." The whole audience was shouting, cheering for Lao K.
"Shet!"
Mourning glared at Kevin Johnson angrily. This guy is not a good person. The Suns are not good people. They all should be arrested and put in jail.
"Bang!"
Leaning over to dribble, Wang Tiejun's post-up play started again.
Starting from the edge of the paint area, it is still difficult for him with poor finishing skills near the basket, because if he encounters strong resistance, it will be difficult for him to reach the basket within three seconds and complete the shot.
"Bang! Bang!"
After two consecutive blows, Mourning, who had excellent strength, resisted desperately, using every ounce of strength in his body, but Lao Wang still took two small steps, about eighty centimeters away.
But at this time, more than a second had passed in the attack time, and he still had to advance at least one meter further. Without two strikes, he could not complete this distance.
"Bang!"
For the third time, Wang Tiejun went all out. The ferocious power instantly defeated Mourning's center of gravity, which he could barely hold on to, and his defense collapsed.
"Hey!"
With an angry shout, Lao Wang turned around and stepped past Mourning into the basket. He grabbed the basketball with his right hand and raised his body, ready to hit the basket.
"Don't even think about it!"
Mourning, who lost his defensive position, was angry and clamped Lao Wang's open left arm.
But Wang Tiejun's rise was unstoppable. Even though his explosive power was far inferior to that of O'Neal, he still tried his best to jump up.
"Bang!"
Amidst the violent sound of the basket being smashed, the basket frame was pulled down sharply by the huge force and the tonnage of the two men.
"Oh! Yeah!"
The American West Arena screamed in surprise, and then instantly turned into a boiling ocean.
"You weakling, call me a double-team. You can't stop me on your own."
One-on-one, Wang Tiejun was so excited that he could crush the second overall pick Mourning, and started talking rubbish at his opponent.
"Never!"
The veins on Mourning's neck were exposed, and he pushed hard with his chest. His momentum was not inferior to that of Lao Wang.
"You have done that just now, but you still can't stop me." Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"you?"
This was true, and Mourning was furious about it.
Wang Tiejun then added free throws and actually made a hit. He had already made 4 of 4 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 9 points in the first quarter.
But looking back, Mourning used a mid-range shot after retreating to teach Wang Tiejun a lesson. In extreme anger, his condition turned out to be surprisingly good, and his accuracy improved a lot.
"See, prison escapee, you will never be able to hit a shot like this." After he succeeded, he spat at Lao Wang.
"I only know how to dunk you, but I don't know how to jump shot like a weakling." Lao Wang scolded.
"Shut up, old K, don't talk nonsense." Barkley and Kevin Johnson cursed at the same time.
"Uh, okay, friendly fire, friendly fire."
Wang Tiejun rubbed his head. It seemed that Barkley and the others were good at jump shots, and this coward scolded them too.
After the next round, both sides made substitutions and the substitutes came on.
Until the 9th minute of the second quarter, Wang Tiejun once again played with the main lineup.
However, in the remaining three minutes, he did not get an offensive opportunity, and only grabbed a backcourt rebounder, and then the half ended.
In the second half, he came on from the start.
When the left wing was in the low post, Mourning adopted a side defense, that is, standing between him and the point guard at the top of the key, cutting off his receiving route.
He quickly turned around and entered the basket, but Mourning reacted quickly and immediately caught up and defended.
He pushed Mourning away from the basket, and Kevin Johnson passed the ball in.
"careful!"
Buckley's voice sounded.
"What?"
He was startled when he was about to catch the ball, when suddenly a person appeared from behind and slapped the basketball away from his big hand.
"Beautiful! Larry Johnson stole the ball. That Chinese fool actually caught the ball with his back to the weak side. He is an idiot!"
"marvelous!"
In the tnt commentary box, two commentators shouted excitedly.
"What the hell!"
Wang Tiejun cursed angrily.
There was indeed something wrong with his positioning just now. He actually had his back to Barkley and Larry Johnson. This made his field of vision completely useless and unable to observe the help defense coming from the weak side.
"Old K still needs more time and opportunities to sharpen his skills."
On the sidelines, head coach Paul Westphal was not surprised. Old K still played too few games, especially high-quality games, which were almost non-existent.
This situation can be easily solved by giving him playing time, giving him the ball, giving him shots, and giving him a certain tactical status. After one or two seasons, as long as his golf IQ is not bad, there will be great improvements.
Of course, if the football intelligence is not good, no matter how good the potential is, it will not be realized.
According to observations during this period, Old K’s golf intelligence is still pretty good.
Next, the Hornets significantly increased their assistance in defending the basket.
That is to say, when Lao Wang drives the ball into the basket or takes up a position under the basket, the double-teaming on him is strengthened.
Mourning is the main defender. He is a guy who focuses on defense. His defense is very strong. He has shown this trait when he first entered the league.
With help in defense, the quality of his defense against Wang Tiejun immediately improved.
When Lao Wang was asked to play from outside the paint area to the inside, he defended desperately, which consumed a lot of Lao Wang's physical energy.
This method is just like when Lao Wang fought against O'Neal, he consumed a lot of O'Neal's physical energy in the first offensive and defensive round.
Once Lao Wang reaches the basket, he will move forward or defend from the side to buy time and opportunities for his teammates to double-team.
With Lao Wang's current strength and competition experience, the impact will still be great.
