Originally, Tomjanovich wanted him to take another break, but the score was too far behind and the point difference would soon reach double digits, so he could only be allowed to play.
In the first half of the quarter, after partially recovering his physical fitness, he took over the offense and made 3 of 5 shots. He defeated Wang Tiejun, caused a foul by Lao Wang, and scored 7 points in a two-plus-one.
It's just that Wang Tiejun constantly seeks strong confrontations with him, and his physical fitness disappears quickly like snowflakes meeting the sun.
In the first half of the quarter, Wang Tiejun only attacked once. He no longer used hook attacks, but the efficiency was still too low. Instead, he relied on the most powerful low post technique to get to the basket and dunk a ball, which raised his data to
With 18 points and 9 rebounds, he is not far from the 2010 task requirement, and is still one short of the five hook task requirement.
The game entered the second half. Dameng had already played for 33 minutes and scored 33 points and 11 rebounds. In the high-intensity confrontation with Wang Tiejun, his physical energy was too much and he wilted again, so he could only hand over the offensive power.
Let’s take a break first and take a breath before talking.
Of course, Wang Tiejun has been playing for forty minutes. Although there were a lot of close attacks today, the playing time was long enough and the physical consumption was still huge, so he didn't attack much. He just pestered Dameng. Dameng took a break, and he took a break too.
.
In the 9th minute of the final quarter, the score difference had reached 13 points. Dameng knew that he could not rest any longer. If he did not take action, the game would be lost.
Mosaic attack, a timeout was called, the head coach arranged the tactics, and when the game restarted, Dameng came to the low post on the left wing.
He didn't try to go to the basket because he knew that Old K would try his best to stop him. It was the same throughout the game today. Every time he went to the basket, he worked hard and exhausted his energy.
Today, because he couldn't get to the basket smoothly, and Old K adopted an entangled and aggressive active defense, which prevented him from moving freely, he didn't use much of his fantasy pace.
At this time, he caught the ball and started to hit Old K with his back. Suddenly, he made a back pass and passed the ball into the basket.
On the weak side, shooting guard Mad Max had already cut inside, received the ball and went directly to the layup in one step, easily hitting a goal.
"call!"
Dameng let out a breath. He had not recovered much physical energy. In fact, he was very tired. If he could barely attack, he might as well use his containment power to coordinate the attack of his teammates.
Looking back, Dan Marley of the Suns missed a jump shot, and Dameng protected the backcourt rebound. Returning to the offensive end, he made another overhead pass, assisting Kenny Smith for a layup, and the point difference returned to single digits.
.
After being forced into two consecutive weak-side cutting tactics, the Suns called a timeout and arranged some defensive tactics.
The game restarted. Dameng didn't play, but Wang Tiejun did. He was in the low post on the left wing asking for the ball.
Dameng didn't dare to side guard anymore, because he couldn't jump or run now. If he goes around again, as long as Old K moves towards the basket, he might not be able to keep up.
He could only passively adopt the defense he least wanted to use, gritting his teeth and holding back.
"Crack!"
Wang Tiejun caught the ball, and he noticed that Mad Max was jumping down from above, and he would be double-teamed immediately.
Therefore, the next moment after catching the ball, he didn't rely on hitting, he just jumped sideways and shot with a hook.
The shot was very sudden, completely different from the previous hook shots. There was a hit-based action before, but this time there was no such thing. Dameng was fooled. He didn't react and could only watch Old K take action.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the basket and went in.
"ah!"
After scoring 20 points, Comrade Lao Wang also shouted excitedly.
Dameng's defense is very strong, and he also makes a lot of small moves. It's probably because Dameng's physical fitness is not good that he can hit this time. It's a bit of a surprise.
The score difference reached 11 points again, and there were only 92 seconds left. The Mosaic team seemed to be anxious and started throwing three-pointers from the outside. Even Dameng couldn't get the ball.
The first three-pointer was thrown in by Mad Max, and the score difference reached 8 points.
Looking back, Barkley played steadily and threw in a mid-range shot, bringing the point difference to double digits.
The second three-pointer was a three-pointer from the top of the arc made by Kenny Smith, a pull-up jumper, but he missed.
Wang Tiejun missed another rebound. When the basketball rebounded, he caught it.
Then the Suns counterattacked, and he sent a long pass to assist Lei Gongdan for a layup.
This time the fast break was successful, the score difference reached 12 points, and there was not much time left. After that, Mosaic gave up the game.
"Beep, beep!"
The final whistle sounded.
The Suns defeated the Mosaics. The two teams had the same record. Due to the regular season ranking rules, the Suns ranked second in the Western Conference.
"Too tired!"
Comrade Lao Wang sat down on the floor.
Open the system, and the system has issued a reward, 50 points, plus a low pace training card.
Now he still has 100 points left, and he still has a long way to go to exchange for a skill synthesis card.
Barkley scored 36 points and 13 rebounds in this game, and Dameng scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks. The two performed equally well, but the Suns won the game. He was elected the best of the game and was being interviewed on the spot.
"Old K, here are your data." When Wang Tiejun sat back on the bench, assistant coach Lewis handed over a form.
He took a look at it. He played 45 minutes, made 9 of 17 shots, a field goal percentage of 52.9%, and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.
"Tsk, tsk, old K, chop off 2010 on Da Meng's head, the hit rate is also good, you have to treat me!"
Dan Marley sat next to him and stretched his head out curiously to take a look. He didn't know it, but he was shocked when he saw it. He could score this statistic on the head of super center Dameng. His efficiency is still so high. For ordinary rookies,
Can it be done?
"It's just that there are more attacks near the basket, and there are fewer free throws, and the lethality is weakened." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Come on, you're a rookie, this is an away game, and you're playing against Big Dream. I won't give you some whistles that should be blown. This is their home court advantage." Dan Marly said with a smile.
"So this is called home field advantage."
Lao Wang suddenly realized that there were indeed some fouls that were not given to him today, including two two-plus-one opportunities, but no whistle was blown.
In fact, when he said this, he felt that many whistles were not given to him in the previous games, even at home, and the lethality of his back attack was not actually reflected.
At this time, the Mosaic team has entered the player tunnel.
"Damn, I fought an animal all night tonight."
As Dameng walked, he cursed and rubbed his left chest, then his lower back and other places.
"Hakim, how do you feel? Are you going to have a truce in the next game?" head coach Tomjanovich asked quickly.
"It's best to take a rest." Dameng said.
"Then let's have a truce."
Tomjanovich nodded and said with some worry: "The Suns have found a powerful center like Old K. Their strength has greatly increased and they have become one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference.
Hakeem, we will definitely meet them in the playoffs. We can do it in the regular season, but you can’t play one game and take one game off in the series. How to defend him reasonably is a problem you need to solve.”
"Of course it's impossible to have one game in the series and one game off."
Dameng nodded and said: "Tonight I spent most of my time going forward or guarding from the side to avoid a strong confrontation with him. In fact, I can continue to play in the next game, but I don't think it is necessary. I need to play in the regular season."
Reserve more energy.”
Tomjanovich breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's take a break."
Back in the locker room, Da Meng, who was just talking about being able to hold on, took off his jersey as soon as he entered, then lay on the massage table and shouted: "Roger, please take care of it for me, damn old K, he's hurting"
Me."
Team doctor Roger took a look at Dameng's left chest and saw that it was all red. He quickly got an ice pack and started applying it to prevent swelling.
"You're so careless! I didn't expect that rookie to be really good at it. He cut off 2010, and I lost all face."
Da Meng murmured in his heart.
Although he had heard Wang Tiejun's name before, due to the media, he knew more about his violent name and did not understand his strength and technical characteristics. Coupled with his arrogance as a super center, he simply couldn't see it.
I went to Wang Tiejun, so I suffered a big loss tonight.
