Chapter 543 Brothers, I can crush you in terms of IQ
On June 3, the G2 game of the finals begins.
From the beginning, the Knicks strengthened their defense against Wang Tiejun, no longer letting O'Neal defend alone in the first quarter like in the previous game.
Lao Wang reduced the offense and increased the distribution of balls to Fordson. However, Oakley's defensive speed was very fast, and with the outside defense, Fordson's back-cutting tactics were not good, and Oakley intercepted the ball once and shot.
His touch was also average. He played 7 minutes in the first quarter and made 1 of 3 shots.
On the Knicks' side, Oakley set a pick-and-roll for O'Neal on the offensive end. O'Neal took the opportunity to get to the basket and dunk over Fordson.
Fortunately, Wang reacted quickly. When Oakley picked and rolled again, he immediately bypassed him and chased to the basket. He gave O'Neal a big block in time and broke the Knicks' low pick-and-roll tactics.
In the 9th minute, the Knicks led by 5 points, and O'Neal took a rest.
Lao Wang immediately stepped up his personal attack and used the last three minutes to equalize the score.
The two sides continued to fight in the second quarter. Lao Wang took advantage of Jordan's rest time in the first three minutes of the second quarter and continued to attack. However, limited by the defense of O'Neal and Oakley, he was disadvantaged in attacking the basket. He made one of three shots from the outside, and then Jordan
Back, the game entered a stalemate stage.
After halftime, the Lakers fell behind by 5 points again.
In the third quarter, O'Neal ushered in a wave of explosions, dunks, hooks, and small floaters, scoring three consecutive goals. Together with Jordan's two consecutive three-pointers, the two led the team to lead the Lakers by 10 points.
For the Lakers, Lao Wang kept attacking the basket in order to chase points. However, due to Oakley's help and defense, he was called for an offensive foul and made another mistake, unable to complete the chase.
In the final quarter, the Knicks strengthened their defense, but in the end the Lakers failed to come back, losing 109:101 by 8 points.
The two teams tied one to one, and will then move to New York. In the second, third, and second schedule, the Knicks will have three home games.
Jordan scored 31 points, shooting 51% from the field, O'Neal scored 28 points, shooting 58% from the field, and the two combined for 59 points, which was not as good as the previous game, but was more efficient and won the game.
Wang Tiejun scored 35 points, shooting 59% from the field, which was similar to the previous game. He made 5 of 10 free throws, only grabbed 12 rebounds, only sent 4 assists and 3 blocks, but made 5 turnovers, and his performance was not as good as before.
One game.
Richmond scored 15 points and shot 38% from the field, which was lower than the previous game.
Kobe did not have the outstanding performance of the previous game, scoring 14 points. He repeatedly entered the paint area and encountered Oakley's fierce defense. He only succeeded 3 times in 7 attempts at the basket, making a total of 6 of 16 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 37.5%.
No feel at all.
Barkley was interviewed after the game and said: "The Lakers lost their second home court, and now the Knicks have three home courts. The situation is more favorable to the Knicks."
Magic Johnson also admitted in the post-game interview that the Knicks, who now have an away victory, have the initiative.
Lightning was also interviewed at the scene and praised the Knicks' defense tonight, saying: "Oakley showed strong defense, especially his help defense, which made Old K suffer a lot tonight. Old K 5 times
Three of the turnovers were caused by Oakley's assisting defense.
If it weren't for Oakley, Old K would not have only scored 38 points tonight. The Knicks could win the G2 game, and Old Oak would have to take the lead."
At the post-game press conference, Jordan also praised Oakley's defense, saying: "He has always been my most trusted teammate, and tonight he played the most critical role. He played a key role in this victory.
The role is crucial.”
The home team's on-site press conference was postponed for half an hour.
Because they lost the game, the Lakers spent more time summarizing in the locker room.
The offense was weak, rebounds were reduced, there were too many turnovers, and the team had too few assists. There were many problems, and Harris pointed them out one by one.
As for solving these problems, that is not a matter now. The coaching staff needs to work overnight until they find a way.
"Old K, your performance today was not as good as in the last game, let alone when the Suns faced the Bulls. What do you think is the reason?" a reporter asked.
"Of course it's because my opponent is stronger, I don't have to deny this," Lao Wang said.
"How will you solve the problem?" the reporter asked.
"Focus more on the game and use the right methods and attitudes to solve problems." Lao Wang said.
"Old K, do you think the Lakers will be in a more disadvantageous situation in the next series?" the next reporter asked.
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "I don't care about home and away games. Although the Knicks have the next three away games, I also hope to win the trophy away from home. Winning the championship at Madison Square Garden will be a very wonderful professional experience."
"oh!"
The reporters below all exclaimed, admiring that after losing a home game, Old K actually wanted to win three consecutive away games. His courage is commendable.
"Old K, even if you can withstand the pressure on the road, your teammates may not be able to do it. In fact, they probably can't. There are not many players in the history of the league who can withstand the pressure on the road in the finals. So,
How do you solve their psychological problems?" the reporter asked just now.
"I believe my teammates can do it. Each of them is determined to win the championship." Lao Wang said seriously.
On the 4th, ESPN once again adjusted the probability of winning the championship. The Lakers dropped from 55% to 40%, and the Knicks increased from 45% to 60%.
ESPN explained that the Knicks, who have three home games, have a high probability of getting match points in the next G3G4G5 game.
This morning, the Lakers and Knicks boarded special planes to New York.
Yu Feihong and Dabao did not take the Lakers' special plane. Dayao and Lightning had a large number of people, more than a dozen people traveling together. Plus the Lakers wives group, dozens of people chartered a small plane together.
Following the Lakers to the away game, there were 3,000 Lakers fans.
These fans are not only die-hard fans, but also all wealthy fans. You must know that the tickets in New York this time are more expensive than the tickets for the Lakers.
At three o'clock, the Lakers had just settled down in the hotel, and the ladies' group also arrived.
After attending the press conference, Lao Wang took his wife and son to the martial arts gym, mainly to see his cousin Wang Tieshu.
In the past few months, not only the club has developed rapidly, but also the martial arts gyms have developed rapidly, with many various martial arts classes.
When he arrived at the martial arts gym, he and his familiar brothers were busy for a long time. Wang Tieshu, who managed the New York branch, took him to the office for tea and told him about the development of the New York branch.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and then Yu Feihong knocked on the door and came in.
"Brother Fei, where is Dabao?" Seeing that his son was not around, Lao Wang asked casually.
"I met the little girl named Xixi who was in martial arts class last time again. I took her to play, and Dabao actually remembered her." Yu Feihong said with a smile.
"oh."
Lao Wang didn't ask any more questions and guessed that it was the playmate Dabao met last time he came here.
"Feihong sits."
Wang Tieshu stood up and said hello and poured a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Brother Tieshu." Yu Feihong said hurriedly.
"Second sister is preparing a hotel plan, and K Era Club will develop a supporting private hotel industry." After chatting for a few words, Yu Feihong suddenly said.
"Still running a hotel? Does she have money?"
Lao Wang was surprised. This business is very expensive. The K-Times Sports Center hotel on Fengshen Street will be completed by the end of this year, which has already drained his pocket. Several more buildings will be built on the vacant land on South Street, and the funds will be needed.
It's time to get a loan. How can the second sister have the money to build a private hotel in the United States?
Yu Feihong smiled and said, "It would be great if you were the boss, and you don't have to pay."
"Loan? What should I do if I lose money?" Lao Wang asked worriedly.
"How can you do business without taking loans? Just keep a reasonable debt ratio. In addition, the club is developing very fast, and you don't know how high the profits are. Moreover, VIP members also have demand for private hotels in the club." Yu Feihong
said.
"oh."
Lao Wang responded, since he didn’t understand much anyway, so he stopped asking.
Yu Feihong added: "Second sister is collecting medicated diet recipes from some families of traditional Chinese medicine in China, and has already obtained more than a dozen. Now, your chicken medicated diet is too monotonous. The other dishes are all ordinary dishes and do not reflect the essence."
Without the characteristics of the club and without increasing the variety of medicinal foods, the club will turn into a restaurant sooner or later, and the style and class will fall."
Lao Wang didn't ask for the prescription. He doesn't have any points now. To synthesize the medicinal diet, he needs a skill synthesis card with 1,000 points. We'll talk about it later when we have points.
Yu Feihong suddenly said with a look of admiration: "Husband, the eldest sister has published 9 influential papers in the world's top scientific magazines in the past few months. The second sister said that the eldest sister has received offers from several top research institutes.
Invitation, we are going to have a scientist in our family."
Lao Wang said without surprise: "What's so strange about this? My eldest sister's dream since she was a child is to be a scientist."
"What about you?" Yu Feihong asked curiously.
"I..."
Lao Wang recalled slowly and said: "The teacher asked us about our wishes at that time. I remember that I said that I wanted to be a big landowner when I grew up. Then I was severely criticized by the teacher and was forced to stand in the back."
"Poof!"
Yu Feihong and Wang Tieshu burst into laughter at the same time.
…
On the 5th, the G3 game day of the finals.
Before seven o'clock, Madison Square Garden was already packed.
Yu Feihong still sat in the best position with Dabao in his arms, that is, in the front row behind the Lakers bench. Yao Da, Hu Weidong, and Lightning Dream were in the back, sitting with the Lakers wives.
Tickets to the Knicks' home games are too expensive and have been snatched away by some celebrities and wealthy people.
TNT's live camera swept around the front row, putting stars and celebrities on the hanging screen. After a while, it stopped on a chubby face.
Barkley is one of TNT's live broadcast commentators today. He has signed a multi-million commentator contract with TNT and has now officially fulfilled his duties.
Seeing Dabao on the screen, he immediately laughed and shouted: "Haha, Dabao, my nephew is as plump as me. I made an agreement with old K that in the future I will teach Dabao to play power forward, and he will
He is the next flying pig in the sky."
"Ha ha……"
Bill Walton and Kenny Smith burst out laughing at the same time.
"This idiot! You should teach your son to be the next flying pig in the sky. My son will be the flying dragon in the future."
In the visiting team's locker room, Lao Wang cursed.
"Ha ha……"
The whole locker room was already laughing.
At this time, Bill Walton laughed and asked: "If I remember correctly, this child is almost two years old, right?"
Buckley nodded and said: "One year and eight months old, this kid is very smart, much smarter than his father. At first glance, old K looks like a guy with well-developed limbs and lack of intelligence."
"Ha ha……"
Kenny Smith burst out laughing.
Bill Walton also reminded with a smile: "Charles, maybe Old K is watching our live broadcast in the locker room."
Buckley's fat face was stunned, and he quickly shouted: "Hey, Old K, you didn't hear what I just said, did you? I didn't say anything just now."
In the visiting team's locker room, Kobe and others were laughing. Wang glared at Barkley on the TV, cursed, went up and turned off the TV, then stood in the middle and cursed at the laughing teammates: "
What are you laughing at? A bunch of idiots who can't even calculate three times three times three, what right do they have to laugh at me?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned and their laughter stopped.
Lao Wang said disdainfully: "We don't judge heroes based on academic qualifications. Remember, I have always crushed you in terms of IQ. If you have any objections, I can give you another math class. This time it is simpler, two times two times.
What is three equal to?”
Kobe counted on his fingers, then stood up excitedly, raised his hands and shouted: "Seven, it must be seven!"
"Wrong, you math idiot!" Lao Wang scolded.
"Wrong again?"
Kobe choked and sat down in frustration.
"What about 23?" Richmond asked tentatively.
"Mitch, you were probably beaten up by Jordan and you only remember his jersey number? You are truly a miracle in the world of mathematics, and you are fully qualified to win the Nobel Prize for Mathematics Idiots." Lao Wang said sarcastically with a surprised look on his face.
Richmond lowered his head in shame. He happened to be tying a bandage on his foot and counted his toes seriously.
Lao Wang asked curiously: "Mickey, what are you doing?"
"Of course I have to recalculate again. Just now my fingers were not enough. Now I add my toes and it should be enough." Richmond said.
"..."
Lao Wang is speechless, you illiterate people, who gave you the confidence to laugh at me? Although our two sisters have taken away most of the IQ of our Lao Wang family, the little left is enough for me to crush you.
Seeing that both Kobe and Richmond were wrong, everyone else looked at me, and I looked at you. After discussing it for a while, I couldn't figure out the correct result, so I didn't dare to make fun of Lao Wang anymore.
At this time, Lao Wang began to boost morale and said loudly: "Brothers, it doesn't matter if you don't have an IQ, I just have it. A team only needs one brain..."
"This bastard, you actually said that we have no brains? I'm a college student, and I didn't participate in the draft until my senior year."
"Old K, you have gone too far!"
Everyone laughed and cursed, and then threw a few stinky socks over.
Lao Wang avoided the attack of the smelly socks and said loudly: "Have you watched the news these two days? Especially the New York media. We lost the G2 game. Look at them, they are so proud and rampant, as if they have won the championship.
.You say, what should we do?”
"Boss, kill them!" Fordson shouted immediately.
When he yelled, everyone else immediately started roaring, and the morale in the locker room immediately rose.
Lao Wang nodded approvingly at Fordson. This kid is very qualified to be a follower. Let’s take him back to China this time and find him a master in the capital. After he retires, he can go to Fengshen Street to set up a stage to talk about cross talk, and he can also learn about cross talk.
Mouth, not hungry.
At this time, Kobe said with a cold face: "We have to win three games in a row and win the championship at their home court."
"Okay, if it really works out, I promise to take you to Japan and South Korea to play until your kidneys fail." Lao Wang promised, patting his chest.
"Ha ha……"
The entire locker room burst into laughter.
In the home team's locker room, Jordan was also doing ideological work, using his own methods to inspire the morale of his teammates.
His method was to use the harshest attitude and talk trash to his teammates. Even Oakley couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to kick him out of the locker room.
Then Phil Jackson took over and led the players into a meditative state, and the Knicks players began to be stimulated.
At seven o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup.
Lakers: Wang Tiejun, Danny Fortson, Rick Fox, Richmond, Kobe Bryant
Knicks: O'Neal, Oakley, Dale Ellis, Jordan, Charlie Ward
