Perhaps the 2010 statistics on Big Dream's head have changed his mentality a bit. He feels that a super center is nothing more than that. Although he said he was ready to be beaten by Robinson, mentally he was not.
.
But in just a few minutes, he was severely taught by David Robinson. Now he understands that a super center is a super center. His talent far exceeds his, his skills far exceed his, and his experience far exceeds his.
He himself was a low-post shooter, and he had all kinds of short-, medium-, and short-range weapons in his arsenal. Under such a huge gap, his mentality had not been corrected, and he deserved to be tortured to death.
This is what Dameng did to him. He didn't have a correct mentality and was careless. Although he scored 33 points on his head, it also caused him to score 2010 data.
By the time he came on the court again, it was already the 9th minute of the second quarter, and he sat on the bench for 13 minutes.
This is what head coach Paul Westphal did deliberately, asking him to calm down and think about how to play these super centers.
Dameng came on the court in the 4th minute of the second quarter. The two faced off again and the Suns attacked.
At this time, at 46:52, the Suns were still 6 points behind in the away game.
With the Suns' strength surpassing that of the Spurs, it would have been impossible. Barkley is not a vegetarian.
But today David Robinson exploded. He scored 13 points in eight minutes of the first quarter. He played 5 minutes in the second quarter and scored another 5 points. In total, he scored 18 points, and he was very efficient, reaching 65.
% shooting rate, much higher than his usual performance.
In addition, the Suns lacked the outside core of point guard Kevin Johnson, and their strength was greatly weakened, which resulted in falling behind.
Coming to the low post on the left wing, he stepped outside the paint area, blocked David Robinson with his left arm, and opened his right hand to ask for the ball.
David Robinson knew that his strength was inferior to Wang Tiejun's, so of course he would not stand up to the defense. He quickly dodged and tried to move forward to defend.
Wang Tiejun had an idea, turned around and slid down, just bypassing David Robinson who was circling in front of him. As he rushed into the paint area, he raised his left hand high and hurriedly shook it towards Danny Ainge at the top of the arc.
"Oops!"
David Robinson successfully circled forward, but when he found that there was no one behind him, he knew the ball was over.
The experienced Danny Ainge saw the opportunity when Wang Tiejun turned around and slid to the bottom, and passed the ball to the basket.
Facing a leaping dunk from a big center weighing more than 120 kilograms, Spurs power forward Sean Elliott, who was returning to the basket on the right wing, dared to go up and kill him. He made an emergency stop and stopped at the basket.
On the right side, Wang Tiejun watched helplessly as he caught the ball in the air and smashed it violently.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the Spurs' basket was smashed.
"Oh, damn, K. and Danny Ainge completed an alley-oop! We still need a power forward who can do rough work. He needs to have the strength and tonnage to hold K."
The on-site commentator was frustrated.
"Back to defense! Back to defense!"
On the sidelines, assistant coach Lewis shouted loudly.
Wang Tiejun did not celebrate and ran to the backcourt quickly.
However, the Spurs did not play fast breaks. Although David Robinson is fast, his physical fitness is limited. It is impossible to play fast breaks every time, which will quickly wear him down.
But this is the intimidation of being a super center. If I don't play fast break, you have to quickly return to defense, otherwise you are likely to get beaten.
Robinson is going to be tough tonight. He comes to the low post on the left wing and immediately wants the ball.
"Admiral, fuck that rookie!" the commentator shouted loudly.
"Bang!"
His signature move was a tentative jump shot. Robinson missed one this time.
But it wasn't Wang Tiejun who guarded him, it was a matter of feel and probability.
Now Lao Wang's defensive ability, even if it reaches level 80, still cannot guard against the super center.
Two rounds later, he got another chance on the offensive end.
Danny Ainge made a gesture to pull away, and he immediately took position in the low post on the left wing.
When David Robinson went forward just now, he cut inside and hit him. This time he stopped going forward and defended from behind. When the ball came down, he immediately started to play with his back.
One step, two steps, and he stood in the paint area.
Robinson was fully prepared. When his center of gravity was shifted by the second backrest, his lower hand pulled Wang Tiejun's left arm, using the force to regain his center of gravity faster, and then tightly clamped Wang Tiejun's left arm with his arm.
Then pull the latter with all your strength.
This was a defensive method he came up with after studying Wang Tiejun's fighting skills. It was wrapped around Lao K's body like brown candy. It was a little low, but it was highly practical, but it didn't fit with his past temperament.
He didn't use this kind of defense before, but after suffering a few losses, he didn't care anymore. After all, losing the game was even more embarrassing. Being chopped off on the head by a rookie in the matchup, 2010, was completely humiliating.
His strength was already just a little bit off, but now that he was engaged in this kind of stalking defense, Wang Tiejun lost his center of gravity and was pulled away by him. He couldn't carry out the third step. This round, he was beaten by him.
Defended.
Wang Tiejun almost lost the ball. He quickly regained control and reluctantly got up to make a hook, but he was too hasty and missed the hit. Robinson turned around and grabbed the rebound.
"Return to defense, return to defense!"
Assistant coach Lewis shouted loudly.
"Is this guy's defense better than Dameng?"
Wang Tiejun, who quickly returned to defense, once again realized the intensity of NBA confrontation. Just now, Robinson pinched his arm with his arm and then pulled hard. This action is definitely a foul in China, but here he did not get a whistle.
This is the first time he has seen such a defense. He has watched a lot of game videos during this period, but he has never seen such a stubborn defense.
But in fact, David Robinson had no choice. Without this defensive method, he simply couldn't withstand Wang Tiejun's relying on the ball. This was the first time he defended like this, which could disrupt Wang Tiejun's relying on the rhythm of the game. The effect was very good.
To be honest, he hates this kind of defense, because it makes him stalk like a shrew, without any elegance, and completely unable to show his talent.
In a single defense situation, Wang Tiejun's low post shot was blocked, which was rarely the case. This was his strongest skill, so even if he was facing a super center, it still made him very depressed.
"I have to continue to gain weight. My weight can't withstand the pull of these guys. From now on, I want them to be unable to pull me, pull me, or bite me. I want to become a real giant in the paint area."
"He thought to himself.
But he still has another worry. How much tonnage can his mobility and agility support? He doesn't know this at the moment.
He didn't want to be a guy like Oliver Miller, who was so big that he couldn't even run.
This time the Spurs took an outside shot and missed a three-pointer. Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.
He went to the low post on the left wing again, and this time he wanted the ball.
Danny Ainge was about to throw one himself. When he saw the rookie asking for the ball, he knew that the rookie was playing very depressed tonight, so he passed it in.
"Crack!"
Wang Tiejun carried Robinson with his left hand and grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand.
Robinson originally wanted to go forward and disrupt Wang Tiejun's rhythm, but was blocked by the latter's left hand and was unable to get in front, so he had to defend from behind.
"Bang!"
As soon as he leaned back, Robinson's center of gravity relaxed.
However, the cunning admiral took the initiative to seek confrontation at this time, entangled his arm with Wang Tiejun's, and began to pull and defend again.
But Wang Tiejun, who was prepared, still immediately carried out the second step.
"Bang!"
Robinson's center of gravity shifted, but because his arms were entangled and then immediately attached, Wang Tiejun was not allowed to take the opportunity to stand in the paint area.
In other words, Wang Tiejun did not push in when leaning on both sides, and the back attack failed.
However, at this moment, after the second pass, Wang Tiejun immediately jumped sideways and shot near the basket.
Because his arms were tangled together, he couldn't jump very high, a little more than a foot, and his body was not straightened in the air, a little crooked, but his wingspan was long enough, which still allowed him to have enough shooting height, surpassing Robinson.
defensive height.
Hooking his wrist forward and gently pulling forward with four fingers, the basketball flew from the top of Robinson's left palm toward the basket.
At this time, the disadvantages of Robinson's entangled defense appeared, because he took the initiative to entangle Wang Tiejun with his arms and took the initiative to fight, and there was no way to follow him immediately.
The attacker took the initiative, while the defender reacted passively. He couldn't predict the time when Wang Tiejun would take action, and he couldn't take off in time, so he could only watch the ball fly over his palm.
"Whoa!"
The basketball went hollow into the basket and made a two-pointer.
"ha!"
Lao Wang roared excitedly and then quickly returned to defense.
