At the scene, the backboard and basket were replaced. Half an hour had passed before the game started again.
The Cavaliers attacked, James held the ball and ran in from the right wing. Zhu Fangyu couldn't stop him, and he slowly approached the paint area.
At this time, Lao Wang entered the basket from the low post on the left wing and moved to the front right side of the basket, close to the right waist.
In this position, he can block the passing routes of James and Big Z. If the ball is dropped, it will also leave him time to return to defend Big Z.
"Bang!"
With his back arched, James collided with Zhu Fangyu again and got the space to turn around. He immediately turned around and took off, turning over and shooting a jumper.
When James turned around, Lao Wang felt that this kid was about to take action. Since there were no obvious openings in other positions, he immediately saved the ball in the paint.
"not good!"
James turned around and just jumped up when he saw a huge figure rushing over from behind Zhu Fangyu, but at this moment the arrow was on the string, so he could only bite the bullet and take action.
"Crack!"
With one hand, Lao Wang directly completed a shot.
Handing the ball to White Chocolate, he walked to the frontcourt unhurriedly and settled in a high position. As soon as he turned around to face the outside, he found that the ball was flying over. It was so dangerous that he almost caught the ball with his face.
"What a bastard!"
He cursed secretly, and in the next moment, he arched his back. Big Z was knocked over directly, and then he went to the basket and hit a dunk.
"Bang!"
The rim trembled violently, and the Cavaliers' home court became silent.
The Cavaliers attacked, Drew got the ball on the right wing and hit Kenyon Martin with his back.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang rushed past the baseline and avoided Drew Gooden's sight. Just as he turned around and shot a jumper, he made another big shot.
Under the control of his strength, he deliberately slapped the ball to the position where one of his own people was. Zhu Fangyu got the basketball and the Suns' ball.
Coming to the frontcourt, this time he landed low on the left wing. After catching the ball, he suddenly threw it backward with one hand. Kenyon Martin, who cut in from the weak side, his eyes lit up and he jumped up quickly.
"Bang!"
The next moment, during an alley-oop, the Cavaliers basket was exploded.
Cavaliers attack.
"Bang!"
LeBron James missed a mid-range shot and Wang grabbed a backcourt rebound.
At this time, Kenyon Martin was positioned outside and immediately moved down quickly. His opponent, Drew Gooden, could not keep up and was dumped.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the white chocolate was coming down from the top of the arc, Lao Wang immediately served quickly and the ball flew to the middle.
White Chocolate caught the ball, rushed to the top of the arc, suddenly stopped, and pulled to the right. Jeff McGinnis, who was chasing him, quickly followed up.
But at this moment, the ball flew to the left wing.
"Bang!"
From the left wing, Kenyon Martin rushed forward, received the ball, and then smashed forward, then rushed into the paint to catch the ball, and then made a tomahawk-style dunk.
"Crack!"
James, who was chasing the ball with all his strength, arrived, but missed by just a little. He slapped the backboard with his big hand and failed to complete the chase.
Gomez joked: "Based on this dunk, Kenyon Martin is worth a seven-year, $90 million contract, but judging from his shooting, he is worth a seven-year, $90 million contract."
"Pfft, haha, let's put it this way, LeBron James's current shooting is not worthy of a No. 1 pick." Elanton said with a smile.
The Cavaliers attacked and Ira Nubel hit a jumper.
Looking back, the Suns made a mistake and Kenyon Martin missed a pass from White Chocolate.
The Cavaliers attack, Big Z pulls to the left wing, two steps away from the paint area, and Lao Wang follows to the left waist.
After seeing Old K leave the paint area, James decided to go in.
He knows that his shooting from the outside is not good. From the near two-pointer to the far two-pointer, his shooting percentage is only over 30%. However, his shooting percentage at the basket last season was as high as 60%. In the previous games this season, his shooting percentage was even lower.
Up to 73%.
Now that old K has left the basket, it is a good opportunity to get in.
On the right three-point line, he started to break through.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Before he started dribbling, both feet were already in full motion. After a series of small steps, he successfully broke through Zhu Fangyu and entered the paint area from the right elbow.
"I X!"
When Lao Wang saw this scene, he was a little confused. Are the three referees blind? He bet that LeBron James definitely walked just now. He didn't see clearly after taking a few steps. His steps were too broken!
The first step when someone breaks through is a big step, and he breaks through the defender with one step. How come his breakthrough here is all small steps?
"Hahaha……"
In front of the TV, Wade Le went crazy, slapping his thigh and laughing.
"..."
O'Neal was also stunned. Is this okay?
On the court, Wang quickly returned to defend the basket. When James flew for a dunk, he also jumped up, jumped with all his strength, and blocked the shot from the wing.
"Crack!"
The long arm crossed James' head, accurately pressed on the basketball held high by the opponent, and then pressed down hard.
"What?"
James exclaimed in his heart, then lost his balance and flipped backwards. After landing, he flipped backwards and fell to the floor.
"oh!"
Quicken Loans Center was in shock.
Lao Wang glanced at James who got up immediately and walked towards the referee.
The referee looked at the approaching old K with a questioning expression.
Lao Wang said sternly: "Sir, he walked when he broke through just now. His walking was more obvious than Iverson's walking when he broke through. I hope you notice this.
I know that he is a rugby player, and the media has reported that this may be a problem left over from playing rugby, as he is used to holding the ball and running away.
But our requirements for young people must be strict, and you must keep an eye on them and don't let them get used to their mistakes, otherwise they will be destroyed."
The referee was stunned, Old K, are you mocking us and him, or are you really doing it for his own good?
James also heard these words and was a little at a loss.
At this time, the referee said: "Old K, are you sure he walked just now?"
"Of course, do you think it is necessary for me to lie? Sir, you must know that if we let young people make mistakes now, we are harming him, and it is definitely not for his own good." Lao Wang said.
Nodding, the referee glanced at James opposite and said, "OK, I'll pay attention."
Lao Wang turned back and patted James on the head, and said earnestly: "Young man, you must be strict with yourself and don't let your mistakes go, otherwise you will grow crooked."
James didn't know what happened. He lacked father's love and suddenly felt a deep admiration for old K in his heart.
"Old K, I swear, I will never walk again." He said sincerely.
Twenty seconds later, the referee blew his whistle, pointed at LeBron James and made a walking gesture.
A minute later, a second walking violation occurred.
Three minutes later, the third time.
After being blown away three times in a row, James no longer knew how to break through.
"Poor LeBron, you should go back to playing football, then you won't be able to walk." Wade collapsed with laughter.
After winning against the Cavaliers, the Suns won five consecutive games, including two back-to-back away games. The first team they defeated was the Nets, a strong team in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, the media's evaluation of the Suns' winning streak is not low. Of course,
Not high, because except for the Nets, the other teams are bad.
Lao Wang scored 40+ points in five consecutive games, averaging 42.4 points per game, and proudly climbed to the top of the league's official MVP rankings in the first week.
Stern was a little annoyed. He really didn't want to see Old K win the most important personal honor like MVP again. The media had long been tired of it, but the Suns had won five consecutive games and Old K's data was completely higher than the others.
People are on a different level and can only be placed first.
But then only the Suns' record declined. No matter how outstanding Old K's statistics were, he decided to take Old K's number one position and reward it to others.
Lao Wang doesn't care. To be honest, if Stoudemire and those little bastards don't leave, he is going to significantly reduce his shots in the regular season this season and let Stoudemire and the others play All-Star statistics.
Now he is surrounded by ordinary players. Kenyon Martin is not counted in terms of statistics. He is just a hot dunker and a bit famous. His offensive ability is actually average, so he has to stand up and score and carry the team's offensive banner.
.
Returning to the home court, they lost to the Kings on the 13th. The team made a total of 24 turnovers and their shooting was cold.
On the 16th and 17th, the Suns played back-to-back games on the away team, defeating the Mavericks first and then losing to the Hornets, winning two consecutive away games.
On the 19th, the Suns defeated the Lakers at home and achieved a record of 8 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league.
And Lao Wang, from the beginning to now, has scored 40+ statistics in 9 consecutive games, averaging 40 minutes of playing time per game, which shocked everyone's attention.
"The era of Behemoth K continues!"
"Old K continues to rule this era!"
"The light of the Sun King continues to shine on the NBA!"
At the age of 31 and a half, he can still perform like this while leading a newly formed team, and the media can only praise him.
In addition to the Suns, there are many other teams that performed well.
For example, the Knicks hired the head coach and three main players of the Suns. From the beginning of the season, they used exciting run-and-gun tactics and achieved an opening record of 6 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, second only to 6
Nets with 2 wins and 2 losses.
Under the run-and-gun tactics, Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion shined their own light.
Stoudemire averaged All-Star numbers of 25 points and 9 rebounds per game, Marion averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Nash averaged 16 points and 12 assists.
For such a gorgeous performance, the demanding New York media and fans also praised them generously.
D'Antoni was also dubbed a famous coach in New York media reports.
Only Marbury was unhappy because he was deprived of the ball and his playing time was severely reduced. D'Antoni forced him to play without the ball, which made him very unhappy.
On the 20th, the New York media suddenly broke the news that Marbury had an argument with D'Antoni in the locker room and then slammed the door out.
Then the media began to analyze the matter and pointed out that Marbury's contract only had this season left, and the Knicks' best solution was to trade him.
Moreover, the Knicks have no shortage of shooting guards, including Alan Houston and Quentin Richardson. Anfernee Hardaway is also sitting on the bench. Marbury, who is not reused by D'Antoni, is traded to try to deal with the unstable factors.
It's the best way to resolve conflicts in the locker room.
In the afternoon, the Suns arrived in New York.
Stoudemire, Nash, and Marion were treating guests to dinner. Lao Wang was cutting the steak and said, "You guys played well. You averaged 111 points per game, number one in the league, and you have unlimited firepower!"
The three of them had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with their current performance.
Lao Wang forked a piece of steak and chuckled: "Be careful tomorrow night. I won't hold back. Brian is very angry with you."
"Know."
The three of them nodded quickly.
Lao Wang stuffed the beef into his mouth, chewed it and then said: "After all, you are all the main members of the championship. Brian treats you well. If you want to leave, he will let you go without any difficulty.
If this were another team, it would be impossible for you all to come to the Knicks. One trade here and one trade there would make you so far apart that you would never meet again, and Coach D'Antoni wouldn't be able to beat him again.
Bomb tactics."
"We know, Old K, that when we see Mr. Colangelo, we will thank him." Nash and the other three people said quickly.
"That's good. I'm also very happy that you can perform well in the Knicks." Lao Wang said with great relief.
On the morning of the 21st, the media continued to reveal that Marbury was absent from team training.
At noon, the Knicks management put Marbury on the shelf, and the news quickly spread throughout the league.
Marbury's strength is still there. Last season, he scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.6 steals. He is still at the All-Star level. Teams soon inquired about the selling price.
The Knicks currently have no shortage of players in other positions. According to the requirements of running and gunning, they only need a fast center. However, this player is the most difficult to find. It is impossible to find it and it is impossible to get it.
In this case, the bargaining chip the Knicks want is two first-round picks. Because of the trade of Stoudemire and Marion, two future first-round picks were traded. It is best to get them back now.
It's a pity that all the teams that inquired about the price directly rejected him. It's not that Marbury is not worth the two first-round picks, but that the lone wolf is not worth it, and the transaction cannot be completed for the time being.
Eight o'clock in the evening, Madison Square Garden, star-studded.
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Kenyon Martin, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, Jason Williams
Knicks: Nazr Muhammad, Stoudemire, Shawn Marion, Alan Houston, Steve Nash
The game was broadcast live on TNT, with Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentators.
"Charles, do you think Old K will fuck those guys who left him tonight?" Kenny Smith asked with a smile.
Barkley chuckled and said: "With his personality, he shouldn't mind if Stoudemire and others leave.
And he has become accustomed to the excellent and potential young players around him leaving him. As he said, he is too strong. If young people don't leave, they will be suppressed by him, and he is a person who hopes to become good by following him.
guy, so he won't mind.
However, I can say with certainty that he will make a big splash today and will definitely have a big fight."
"Why? Since he doesn't mind Marion Jr. and the others leaving, why is he targeting the Knicks?" Kenny Smith quickly asked.
Barkley explained: "Coach D'Antoni is obsessed with his running and gunning, and he is willing to abandon the defending championship Suns and go to the Knicks. That's it. You can just leave for your own ideals. Forcing will not bring good results, and both of them will."
Unpleasant.
But he actually led the Knicks to hollow out the Suns' main lineup. He poached three of the five main players. Tell me, how does Old K feel about him?
Who doesn’t know what Old K wants now? He wants to create a dynasty with the Suns, but D’Antoni single-handedly poached his championship lineup. What do you think he will do to D’Antoni?”
"Destroy his run and gun? Haha..." Kenny Smith couldn't help laughing.
"You guessed it, that's it." Buckley smiled.
"Speaking of which, the Suns have a new lineup, with 8 wins and 1 loss, and actually have the first record in the league. Old K is really strong!" Kenny Smith said seriously.
Barkley said with a proud smile: "Because he is too strong, he cannot have All-Star teammates around him. There is no room for stars to survive around the Sun King."
CCTV also broadcast the game live. Su Qun said at this time: "After 9 games, the Suns performed really well!"
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Fighting warfare is the strongest tactic of the Iron Army. It doesn't require much training to form combat effectiveness.
He himself is a super giant among super giants with his own offensive and defensive system. If the lineup is not too bad, the record will not be bad. You can see that every time his team's lineup changes drastically, the record is pretty good. This is the reason."
Su Qun smiled and said: "The substitute lineup is also good. Jamal Crawford plays the sixth man and averages 16 points per game. He is the team's second scoring point, 0.5 points more than Kenyon Martin. It also helps the team a lot.
.
I just don’t know if he is satisfied with his substitute position. After all, he is the No. 8 pick in the first round and he was the main force last season.”
Zhang Liji said with a smile: "His efficiency is not good. Last season his field goal percentage was only 38.6%, and so far this season it is only 41.1%. This is still the efficiency in the substitute lineup. If he plays as the main force, it will be even lower."
Josh Howard is now at 47.1%, and Zhu Fangyu is at 46.5%. The Nugget is only suitable for grabbing points on the bench. If he is not satisfied, then he can only be traded."
