Kevin Johnson, who served as the bench chairman, personally gave Wang Tiejun a towel and a cup of hot drink, then took the basket and shouted excitedly while playing with it:
"Quick, old K, tell us, does it feel good to smash the opponent's backboard and tear off the basket?"
“It’s so cool!”
Comrade Lao Wang smiled without hesitation.
As soon as he sat down, team doctor Andrew John came over and helped him massage his arm. After all, his body would have to endure a lot of damage from hitting the basket so violently.
"Old K, we should do less violent slamming of baskets in the future, as it is too easy to get injured. And the possibility of stress injuries in the future is also very high."
Andrew John warned.
"Andrew is right, old K, you have to be careful, your career has just begun." Head coach Paul Westphal also said.
"I understand." He nodded quickly.
At this time, a stadium staff member came over, came to him, pointed to the basket held by Barkley and said: "Old K, this is the property of our American Airlines Center, please return it to us."
He stretched out his big hand, took the basket from Barkley, stood up and put it on the seat, then pressed it down, and then said to the man: "Sorry, I destroyed your backboard and basket frame, you can
Send me the bill and I'll pay it."
The staff member's face trembled and he cursed in his heart, do we want money? No, what we want is face, no, the basket.
Lao K refused to return it and promised to compensate for the loss. This was a very reasonable solution. He couldn't take it back, so he could only return disappointed.
Seeing that the man was gone, Wang Tiejun thought and opened the system.
"Congratulations to the host, the basket collection achievement task has officially started. For each additional opponent's basket collected, 200 points will be awarded."
"Not bad, not bad. The second basket also rewards 200 points. Now there are 300 points. It seems that in the future, we need to collect more opponents' baskets. This is the right way."
He felt secretly happy, but he didn't know that Stern had ordered to find a new supplier. The possibility of tearing off the basket in the future, with his current strength and explosiveness, was probably impossible unless he continued to gain a certain amount of weight.
degree.
It just so happened that his strength training started on November 28th. The two-month training period would end at the end of this month. He decided to redeem another strength training card to continue to increase his strength and strengthen his strongest body.
point.
The hook shooting rate near the basket is still not good, and he still has to focus on attacking at the basket, which requires his strength and tonnage to be stronger.
No one paid attention to him before, so there was no double-teaming. But when he hit the big dream with 2010 statistics, it should attract the attention of some teams. Once he is double-teamed, with his current strength, it will be very difficult.
It's troublesome, so he must continue to increase his strength and tonnage so that he can stay at the basket.
"Everyone, listen to me, don't let that damn rookie get close to the basket. We have been embarrassed. This is our home court, but our basket was taken away by him. This is the biggest humiliation.
Remember, don't let him get close to the basket. Once he enters the basket, even if you fall down, you will commit a foul, no matter what means you use, let him fall under the basket."
In front of the Mavericks bench, head coach Adu roared in a low voice.
"Kill him!"
"Kill that Chinaman!"
"Kill that Chinese coolie!"
Behind and next to the bench, Mavericks fans who were close to him heard what Adu said, and they shouted angrily.
"Yes, coach."
Sweat was pouring from the foreheads of the Mavericks players. Under so much pressure from the fans, they had no other choice but to agree.
"What a stupid Mavericks fan." Wang Tiejun cursed.
He squeezed his hand, his fingers and wrists were a little sore, otherwise he would have to hit him with a basket later.
Twenty minutes later, the game restarted.
"Brother, watch it for me, don't let them take it back."
When Comrade Lao Wang got up, he handed the basket to Kevin Johnson and gave a cautious warning.
"Leave it to me."
Kevin Johnson patted his chest to assure himself that he directly hung the basket on his head, then took out one arm and hung the basket diagonally on his body.
"Qiankun Circle?"
Lao Wang's face twitched, brother, have you turned into a black Nezha?
The Mavericks attacked, hit a three-pointer, the ball was exchanged, and the Suns attacked.
Wang Tiejun entered the paint area from the low post on the left wing, and Sean Lukes tried his best to resist.
His purpose is to prevent Old K from getting close to the basket smoothly. As long as he can delay a little time, plus the time to pass and receive the ball, the attack time will not be enough.
However, this time Wang Tiejun only forced his way in half a step, about forty centimeters, and then stopped squeezing. Instead, he immediately turned around and started asking for the ball.
But the ball didn't come down and was passed to Barkley on the right. Barkley took advantage of Wang Tiejun's attraction on the left and took the opportunity to drive into the paint with the ball. He dunked against the basket and scored another goal.
Three rounds later, Wang Tiejun got the ball in the low post on the left wing.
He only made one play, but Doug Smith's double-team on the weak side came over. Moreover, Smith came close to the baseline, blocking his opportunity to slip to the bottom.
One step above, the Mavericks' small forward is already moving toward him, eyeing him. As long as he dares to turn around from above, a three-team attack is possible.
On the sidelines, seeing Wang Tiejun being double-teamed, Paul Westphal remained calm and put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking relaxed.
The height of Old K is there, he has a broad field of vision in the low post, and his ability to receive and distribute the ball is good. Now he has the hook skill near the basket. He is not afraid of double teams at all. He can shoot and pass, as long as he handles it calmly.
.
Sure enough, Wang Tiejun passed the ball and played quite selflessly. He passed a side hook to Barkley, who had already cut into the paint on the weak side.
If Doug Smith comes from the weak side to double-team him, then Barkley will definitely be empty. In this case, he must pass the ball to the weak side.
"Bang!"
Barkley caught the ball and hit another dunk.
"Ha ha……"
Assistant coach Lewis laughed and said to Paul Westphal: "We have two people in the low post who need to be double-teamed. Double-teaming any one of them is self-destruction."
Paul Westphal nodded and smiled without saying a word.
"Remember, old K, don't grab the basket after dunking, so as not to hurt your hands." Big brother Barkley began to pass on the message again.
"Okay." Wang Tiejun said quickly.
But tonight the Mavericks have made up their mind. They can allow Wang Tiejun to take shots near the basket, but they will never allow him to take shots under the basket.
As long as he is close to the basket, he will be double-teamed. They would rather Barkley score 50 points than let him score under the basket.
Moreover, the defensive actions are very vigorous, and there is no fear of fouls. Sometimes the two of them directly hang on Wang Tiejun.
And the whistle tonight is also biased towards the Mavericks. As long as the action is not obvious, it will not sound at all.
Even though he rang a few times, he got a lot of free throw opportunities. With his 50% shooting rate, he didn't score many points, which was not cost-effective at all.
Simply put, tactically, he was cut.
Of course, now he doesn't know what the slashing tactic is. He has never been exposed to it when he was in China. This tactic used to be called the slashing tactic, and it was specially used to deal with Chamberlain, who had poor free throw skills.
