In the third quarter, his mistakes began to increase, and his forced shots led to two consecutive big blocks from Mourning. His free throws also became an obstacle to scoring. He frequently went to the free throw line, but his shooting rate was not high, only 50%.
.
After entering the final quarter, as his physical fitness declined, the number of times he entered the basket was greatly reduced. Even if he barely made it to the basket, when he was double-teamed, the quality of his forced shots dropped significantly, and was far inferior to the tyrannical attack in the first quarter.
Performance.
In the end, the Suns still won the game.
Wang Tiejun played 36 minutes and played the entire second half, making 7 of 12 shots and 3 of 6 free throws. He scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls.
In fact, he took more than 12 shots, and three of his turnovers were during offense. Plus one offensive foul, he had a total of 16 offenses with the ball, second only to Barkley's 18 shots. For a rookie,
This is a lot.
In the second half, his physical fitness declined and he was double-teamed again. He suffered two big blocks from Mourning, which made him very depressed.
In order to improve his shooting percentage today, all of his 16 times with the ball were attacks at the basket. Mourning, who is mainly defending him, is also a very hard-working defender. This is also the reason why his physical energy is consumed so quickly, because every time
Every time he gets to the basket, it's a very intense confrontation, and he has to expend a lot of physical energy.
It's a pity that his finishing skills are lacking, coupled with his average athleticism and declining physical fitness. Facing double teams, his offense is limited even at the basket. His ability to break double teams is insufficient and his dominance at the basket is not enough.
, the final result is that even if he hits the basket, his shooting percentage is not enough.
As a big center, if his offense at the basket is not even 70%, it cannot be said to be efficient.
His efficiency at the basket today was less than 60%, and he wasted some ball rights.
The most efficient period was in the first quarter, as the Hornets did not double-team him frequently, and the first quarter was also when his physical fitness was at its best.
At the end of the game, the head coach said to him on the sidelines: "Old K, strengthen the training of finishing techniques. This is your most important task.
When you have the offensive ability of nearly two points, you don't have to hit the basket every time. No one's physical fitness can support that kind of consumption, not even the Iron Man.
You must learn to allocate your physical fitness, especially in the final quarter, and you must maintain your physical fitness at the most critical moment, because the team is likely to need your help at the most critical moment, not your onlookers."
"I understand, coach."
Wang Tiejun gasped and nodded.
Indeed, his fighting is the real form of confrontation, and it is the most physically demanding form of confrontation. Each offensive and defensive round consumes a huge amount of physical energy. Even if his physical energy reaches the full level of 110,
I'm afraid I won't be able to last the entire audience.
On the other side, Mourning seemed to be more tired than Wang Tiejun. He didn't end up, so he just lay down on the floor, his chest rising and falling, and his violent breathing was like a beast that had run for hundreds of miles. This shows that his physical energy was exhausted.
It is no bigger than Wang Tiejun.
Today he scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. His statistics are not as good as Wang Tiejun's.
This is because a lot of his physical energy was consumed when defending Lao Wang, and he had no energy to focus on the offensive end.
Moreover, he is originally a defensive expert who can attack the weak but defend the strong. This is one of the reasons why his status in the history of the league will not be as good as that of the four super centers. Those four super centers are all offensive madmen, but he is not.
"Mourning was probably out of shape today, but he still blocked the Chinese coolie twice and taught that pervert a lesson. His bullet speed was too fast, and the Chinese coolie's shots seemed too slow in front of him."
"Yes, that's why Mourning had two blocks, while the Chinese coolie only had one. Old K jumped too slowly. Mourning deserves to be last year's No. 2 pick, and his defense in the second half was too tough.
That perverted coolie was well restrained."
"Yes, the special thing is the last quarter. He prevented that perverted coolie from entering the basket. The perverted coolie only made one free throw in the last quarter. This is the evidence."
"Yes, although Mourning's statistics are not as good as those of the perverted coolie, he is more helpful to the team. And the Chinese guy was almost invisible in the second half, especially in the final quarter, and his help to the team was zero. No,
It’s a negative number.”
In the TNT live broadcast booth, the two commentators gave their final explanations one after another.
After sitting on the bench for two minutes, Wang Tiejun regained his breath. He drank another bottle of energy water to replenish his physical fitness. When he was about to return to the locker room with several teammates, he was blocked by a reporter in the player tunnel.
, none other than Rob Lundgren.
He took a look at Long Geer, and he had some impression. He must have interviewed him before, and he was kicked out during the game.
However, he immediately saw the logo on Lundgren's microphone, which was the New York Times. This made him angry, and he turned around and left. He would not accept an interview with the New York Times.
When Longgren saw that Lao Wang refused to accept his interview, he proudly shouted from behind: "Hey, Chinese, I heard that in your country, people like you are called prisoners released from labor camps?"
"It's you."
Wang Tiejun turned around suddenly and stared hard at Rob Lundgren.
He understood that this was the guy who went to China to dig up dirt on him. His name was Rosso Longer. He was targeted by this damn guy.
"It's me. I've set my sights on you. I won't give you a good life. A prisoner like you who has been released from the labor camp only deserves to stay in prison."
Rob Lundger said with a ferocious smile.
"you?"
Wang Tiejun was extremely angry.
"You have the guts to hit me!"
Rob Lundgren was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
He has benefited greatly from the dirty information he dug from China. If he is beaten by Lao K again, he will pay it out. Lao K is his bonus, and he cannot let Lao K go.
"Old K, ignore him, let's go."
Barkley, who scored 28 points in this game, had just finished an on-site interview and entered the players' tunnel. Upon seeing this, he quickly hugged Wang Tiejun.
"Go, ignore him, don't be fooled by him, he is irritating you."
"Old K, calm down."
Several teammates who returned to the locker room with Wang Tiejun, including Danny Ainge, also rushed to help.
"Courageless guy!"
Robronger was disappointed and shouted provocatively.
"Ignore him, Old K. Your best way to fight back is not to beat him, but to make him desperate." Barkley said loudly.
"Yes, he is a reporter. If you hit him, you will be in trouble. All the media will not let you go. You will 100% not be able to play in the league. You will be completely blocked by the media." Danny Ainge also advised.
.
"Let's go and ignore that mad dog. He just wants to anger you and then lie down on you to suck blood." Buckley advised again.
