Chapter 591 Old K, Because of You, I May Die Suddenly Anytime Now

At half past eight, the game starts.

Lao Wang won't jump the ball now. Xiao Si can jump the ball very well. Let him jump the ball.

However, Chandler's height and wingspan took advantage, and he took the ball away first, and the Bulls attacked.

The Bulls lineup does not have a good point guard, and the main ball power has always been in McGrady's hands. He advanced to the left three-point line, and Marion faced him.

"Bang bang..."

With his left elbow stuck and pushing against Marion, McGrady suddenly started, took a step forward, and beat the defender.

"So fast!"

Marion was surprised and quickly turned around to pursue him.

"T-Mac's first step is historic, fast and long," Barkley praised.

Seeing McGrady heading towards the paint area, Wang immediately took a step up and blocked the left waist of the paint area.

McGrady's eyes shrank, Lao K has always been a person who is strong in offense and weak in defense, but this does not mean that his defense is weak, but because the offense is too strong, it seems that the defense is a bit weak. In fact, his defense is definitely among the top levels in the league.

But in an instant, his eyes turned into excitement. As one of the four shooting guards highly praised by the league, it is an honor to be able to challenge the first man in history and the first man in active service, Lao K, head-on. And if

Success will be a qualification and an honor.

The next moment, he suddenly changed direction upwards, bypassed Old K, then accelerated with all his strength, and entered the paint area from the left elbow area.

"Good guy!"

Lao Wang couldn't help but praise in his heart, and immediately half-turned around, pressed his chest against McGrady, squeezed McGrady forward, and moved laterally toward the basket. At this time, Chandler, whom he was guarding, had already entered the basket.

"What a power!"

Medica's left elbow felt a huge force on his upper body. In an instant, his body felt like it was flying. He had no chance to get to the basket for a dunk. At this time, the ball was pulled up from the floor, and he immediately caught it in his hands.

And while taking off and gliding to the right, he threw the ball toward the basket.

Lao Wang had already been mentally prepared. How could McGrady's chicken-like body be able to block his squeeze? So McGrady would definitely take action immediately, otherwise he would have to force him out of the paint area.

"Crack!"

After blocking the shot, the ball flew away.

"The defense is really strong!" McGrady sighed inwardly after taking the shot.

"rebound!"

When the ball flew high into the sky, a bunch of people below were ready to grab the rebound, including Chandler, Stoudemire, Marshall, McGrady, Marion, etc.

"mine!"

The ball he lit had the clearest landing point. Lao Wang got in first, occupied the most advantageous position, and caught the ball.

On the outside, Nash had turned around and was about to go down. His speed surpassed Crawford's, but the fast break failed. After Wang grabbed the ball, he was surrounded by Chandler and Marshall and had no chance to pass the ball quickly.

When the Suns attacked, Lao Wang came to the frontcourt and instead of dropping into the low post, he set up a pick-and-roll for Nash in the high post.

Now he and Nash and Stoudemire and Nash's pick-and-roll tactics have become one of the Suns' regular season tactics. Both can shoot in the mid-range after the pick-and-roll, or attack the basket along the way. They are very threatening, especially his

The hook shot is more accurate than Stoudemire's mid-range shot, and the pick-and-roll tactics are more threatening.

Nash used the wall to break through, but the Bulls did not dare to change defense. The height of the mismatch was too high. Wang directly squeezed Chandler and went down. The former rushed to the basket, pulled to the left, and then turned around and threw the ball.

"Bang!"

Lao Wang caught the ball with one hand, smashed the ball and easily scored a goal.

Zhang Lili laughed loudly and said: "Chandler has no comparison with Tiejun in terms of tonnage or strength. Tiejun faces such an opponent. There is no need to go around, they just squeeze away."

Su Qun laughed and said: "Old K's high-post pick-and-roll tactic is really too threatening. If the opponent doesn't change defense, he can use his mobile advantage to bypass the defender, or directly squeeze away the opponent like just now. If he changes defense, he can

The mismatch advantage he possesses due to his height is too big. Just look at his free throw shooting rate for his hook shot at the free throw line."

Zhang Lili said: "But now it's more Stoudemire and Nash playing pick-and-roll tactics on the wings. Tiejun attracts defense and fights for offensive rebounds in the low post, giving up some shots to young guys like Stoudemire."

Su Qun said: "Old K was born in June of 1973. He is almost 30 years old and is a heavy center. He should really stop playing to extend his career life.

The current group of young people in the Suns team have better luck than Kidd and others. If it were back then, they would have been severely suppressed."

The Bulls' offense is still a breakthrough, and they are not afraid because McGrady just took a shot. The Bulls' youth team still hopes to make a dazzling performance on the old K through constant impact, so as to gain more attention.

It can be said that the first player in active service and the first player in history has become a stepping stone for young players. If they can perform well on the old K, they may even become famous with one goal.

"Crack!"

It was another big shot, and it was a bloody volleyball big shot. Lao Wang gave it to Jamal Crawford who rushed in, and fanned the ball directly out of the court. Crawford, who lacked the ability to fight, was even knocked out.

He was pinned to the floor and his teeth were shattered from the fall.

"boom!"

The entire American West Arena burst into warm cheers.

"Young people, work hard. You are the sun at one or two o'clock in the morning, and the future is destined to be yours." Lao Wang looked down at Crawford at his feet and sincerely encouraged him as an old-timer.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Old K, I will try my best." Crawford got up and endured the pain and thanked him.

If Kobe was here, he would say to him: "You idiot, there is no sun at one or two o'clock in the morning, your future is dark."

The bull attacks again.

McGrady took over the banner of the breakthrough and continued to attack Old K. He took another step past Marion and headed towards the paint with the ball.

Being passed by McGrady one after another, Marion wanted to scratch him.

This time, Chandler did not move toward the basket, but took a step upwards. He provided McGrady with an offensive screen and blocked the chasing Marion.

"Zhizhizhi..."

Lao Wang moved laterally and blocked McGrady's breakthrough path. The latter continuously turned and changed directions, forcing him to retreat continuously and retreat to the basket.

At this time, McGrady dribbled the ball again and turned downwards, avoiding Pharaoh Wang's front, then rose up, and was about to dunk against the bottom of the backboard.

Lao Wang dealt with it very calmly. He was able to defend against Jordan's breakthroughs a lot. Now his mobility is better than before and his defensive ability is stronger. Facing the breakthroughs of young people like Tracy McGrady, he must use defense to teach these boys a lesson.

When McGrady finally turned down, he immediately predicted that McGrady was going to take a shot. Because if he didn't take a shot at this time, he would be double-teamed at the basket, so he immediately made preparations to block the shot.

"Crack!"

Quickly moving down half a step, he took off almost at the same time as McGrady. His big hand accurately pressed on the basketball, directly sealing McGrady's dunk.

The ball jumped up. After the two landed, they took off again. Lao Wang got the ball with his height. McGrady bumped into Lao Wang in the air and landed unstable. He staggered and fell to the ground.

The Suns played a fast break. Wang passed the first pass to Nash, and Nash passed the second pass to Marion. The latter went to the basket and dunked.

"Three shots in the opening game, Lao K's defense is going to explode today!" Su Qun said excitedly.

"Since his rookie season, over the years, every time Tiejun exploded on the defensive end, his team has almost never lost." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Su Qun smiled and said: "Old K won't compete for the scoring title this season, nor for the MVP, but this dpoy should be his."

Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "Tiejun has two dpoys. If he gets it again this year, it will be three. With 5 first-team defenses and 1 second-team defense, he should be considered one of the most powerful defensive centers in the history of the league.

.”

"Crack!"

After the two of them finished speaking, Wang intercepted McGrady's pass to Chandler, and the Suns once again launched a fast break.

"Old K's defense really had a blast today," Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said with a smile: "Both Stoudemire and Joe Johnson need to take some shots to train. Old K will give up some of his shots to his teammates. He can only work more on defense, otherwise he will have nothing to do on the court! He can't just hang around and do nothing, right?

"

"Haha..." Kenny Smith laughed.

At the 7th minute of the third quarter, at 45:80, the Suns already led by 35 points at home, and the Bulls called a timeout.

Barkley said: "The Bulls only scored 15 points in the first quarter, 20 points in the second quarter, and now in the third quarter, they have scored 10 points. There are big problems in the offense. The reason for this is of course K's defense.

"

Having said this, he picked up a statistics sheet at hand, shook it with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is Lao K's data, I will read it for everyone.

Old K has played for 25 minutes and now has 18 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 13 blocks. In other words, he is one steal away from getting his first career regular season 5*5 figure."

Kenny Smith hadn't seen it yet, so he quickly grabbed the statistics table, and after looking at it, he said in surprise: "4 steals and 13 blocks? I only know that Old K had a lot of blocks today, and several Bulls perimeter players were numbed by his blocks.

, I didn’t expect 13 hats?

It seems that after Old K reduced his offense, his performance became more and more versatile. I think his current style of play is no less valuable to the team than when he was attacking with all his strength."

Barkley shook his head and said: "Kenny, you have never been the core of the team and you don't understand this. In fact, the playing style of the core players must make reasonable changes based on the team's lineup and the opponents they encounter, and cannot be static."

"Fliggy, if you can speak, just say more."

Kenny Smith heard this pretense and glared at Barkley angrily.

Barkley chuckled with a smile and continued: "What's the change? When the core players are needed to be more versatile, they should perform all-around. When defensive energy is needed, he should provide defensive energy, and the core players need to score.

When the time comes, he will step up and take over the offensive banner."

"Do you still want to fight?"

Asked the now soaked head coach Bill Cartwright as he came up to the Bulls bench.

Tracy McGrady and several young players were sitting on the bench with their heads hanging down. They were all panting, sweating profusely, and their eyes were blank. They looked like they had been hit hard.

None of them answered the question, and Carteret shook his head helplessly.

He was not surprised at all by the state of these young people. No matter who swallowed 13 big blocks in 25 minutes, even if everyone shared it equally, the person with the fewest blocks had two. The core player McGrady had 5 blocks alone.

, will also be hit to the point of collapse of morale.

He waved to a few substitutes and asked them to get ready to play.

"Hey, if the Bulls give up, then Old K probably won't play. Although 5*5 is precious and he has never gotten it, he probably won't care about this data." Barkley said.

At this time, Zhang Lili also said: "If the Bulls give up, the Tiejun will definitely not play again. He has never been in the habit of brushing up statistics on weak teams. A triple-double will count."

Sure enough, Lao Wang sat on the bench and did not get up, giving up the opportunity to play his first 5*5 in his career.

After the game, when Lao Wang passed by McGrady, he saw McGrady's confused look. He couldn't bear it and said in an encouraging tone: "Young man, don't be discouraged. You see, I am getting old. You are the ones who are the best."

The future of the alliance, you are the sun at one or two o'clock in the morning, and you are thriving."

Hearing these words of encouragement, spoken to him by the number one player in the league, McGrady couldn't help but feel excited, and his morale immediately recovered.

With the win over the Bulls, the Suns have 32 wins and 18 losses, still fifth in the Western Conference.

The All-Star Weekend starts on Friday the 7th and will be officially held on the 8th and 9th. The Suns did not play a game in the previous few days and had several days of rest.

On the morning of the 4th, Lao Wang and Fei Ge took Zhou Zhou to Los Angeles and stayed at a villa in Beverly Hills for two days. On the 7th, he flew to Atlanta alone.

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Atlanta, home of the Atlanta Hawks, at Phillips Arena.

In the Eastern Conference, the starting players are Yao Min, Jermaine O'Neal, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Iverson. Vince Carter was selected as a forward.

The seven substitute All-Stars in the Eastern Conference are Ben Wallace, Kidd, Jamal Mashburn, Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker, Brad Miller, and Big Z.

The five starting All-Stars in the Western Conference are Wang Tiejun, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and Steve Francis.

The seven substitute All-Stars are Marbury, Peja, Payton, Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, O'Neal, and Michael Bibby.

Lao Wang feels sorry for Nash. Nash is averaging 16 points and 9.5 assists per game this season and has the potential to be selected as an All-Star.

But because the Suns already have two All-Stars, one starting and one coming off the bench, the league's current attitude towards the Suns will not be so generous to the Suns, because Lao Wang will be somewhat suppressed.

Although the All-Star substitutes are selected by the coach, considering everything is under the control of the league, it is already good to give Marion a substitute qualification. It is impossible for the Suns to have three All-Stars in the five starters.

In addition, he also felt that he was indeed getting old, because there were only a few people who debuted around the same time as him, or before him, who were still all-stars.

Dayton, other All-Stars entered the league later than him.

I arrived in Atlanta at three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at the hotel arranged by the league at four o'clock. Before I entered the lobby, I was surrounded by reporters for half an hour.

There are more than twenty all-stars, each with their own circle of friends. After Lao Wang entered the hotel, before he even entered the room, a group of all-stars gathered around him.

There are Yao, Big Ben, and Kidd in the East, and Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Marion, Bibby, and Peja in the West. Plus he has ten people, more than one-third. This is a good relationship. Usually

Contact a lot of friends.

Bibby is from Phoenix and has been a fan of his since college. Not only did he come here, he also brought Peja with him.

"Shark, are you... losing weight?" he asked after looking at O'Neal.

O'Neal immediately said with a painful look on his face: "Because of you, Old K, the team forced me to lose weight, and I may die suddenly at any time now."

Lao Wang's face twitched, and he said with some disgust: "Then you'd better stay away and don't follow me."

"Pfft! Haha..." A group of people burst into laughter.

"..."

O'Neill was so distraught that he was speechless for a moment.

After Lao Wang put down his luggage in the room, Iverson and Marbury also came over. Their group had reached 12 people, exactly half of them.

Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock. He waved and shouted: "Let's go to the restaurant. I'll treat you to dinner."

"Boss, what are our plans for entertainment in the evening?" Marion asked quickly.

"Where do you want to play? How about we call Mutombo or Ewing, or Jordan. Maybe there is a second gold club in Atlanta?" Lao Wang said.

"Haha..." A group of people burst into laughter.

"Old K?"

Just then the elevator door opened, and Jordan was inside.

"Just in time, Fei Ren, we want to find a place like the Gold Club to play. Do you have the connections?" Lao Wang teased.

"Get out!" Jordan said angrily.

"Where are you going?" he asked again.

"Do you want a treat for dinner?" Lao Wang asked maliciously.

"Aren't you the first person? Of course it's your invitation." Jordan has suffered too many losses, so he won't be fooled this time.

"Aren't you going out yet?"

Lao Wang walked into the elevator. When he saw that Jordan was not getting out, he quickly urged.

"Of course I have to give you face when you treat me to a treat. How much money have you made from us over the years? We are happy to eat your meal." Jordan said with peace of mind.

Lao Wang couldn't help but said distressedly: "You may not believe it, but in fact I didn't make any money at all, and I even invested hundreds of millions of dollars in it."

At this time, everyone came in. Marion in front pressed the button, and the elevator began to move upward.
