NBA backer king

Chapter 111 Rain Man
The Warriors were attacking at a fast pace, and Lao Wang really couldn't keep up. The Warriors got a short chance to play more and less in the frontcourt. They went to the basket from the outside and succeeded in a layup.

Going back to the offensive end, Danny Ainge made a three-pointer and missed it. Old Wang grabbed the rebound. After being double-teamed, he gave the ball to Danny Ainge. Old Ainge made another three-pointer and hit it this time.

30:26, the Suns lead by 4 points.

The Warriors still switched offense and defense at a fast pace, and Lao Wang failed to keep up.

In this way, the Suns were overwhelmed by the Warriors' fast break wave on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, the Warriors slashed Lao Wang twice and made 4 of 1 free throws, forcing him to dare not ask for the ball.

Simply put, he mainly wants to grab rebounds today, so in the next time, he doesn't need the ball, just grab rebounds and participate in the defense in positional battles.

After the second quarter, 47:42, the Suns still lead by 5 points.

In terms of rebounds, the Suns grabbed 25, the Warriors only had 16, and the Suns had 9 more in the half, a huge gap.

Wang Tiejun played a full second quarter, grabbed 7 rebounds in a single quarter, grabbed 20 rebounds in 13 minutes of the half, added 5 of 5 shots, 8 of 3 free throws, and scored a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds.

"Double double rebounds at halftime, there should be some rewards, right?"

As soon as he got off the stage, he couldn't wait to turn on the system.

"Congratulations to the host, double rebounds in halftime, reward 50 points." Sure enough, he was right, the system had a new prompt.

"50 is not bad, now it's 550 points. If you can reach 20 rebounds today, there should be rewards."

On the way back to the locker room with his teammates, Barkley came to his side and said: "Old K, I grabbed good rebounds today, and I only grabbed 5."

"Hey, today your lady luck has taken a fancy to me." Lao Wang laughed.

"Oh, are you referring to Lady Luck as Big Mouth?" Barkley asked with a strange smile.

"Ha ha……"

A group of people burst into laughter.

In the third quarter, Comrade Lao Wang was sent on the court in the 5th minute, but he was fouled as soon as he got the ball.

Walking to the free-throw line feels like walking to the dock.

He looked back at the old Nelson on the sidelines, who smiled at him, but he didn't recognize him, and shouted: "Mr. Coach, I only scored 13 points, so don't you need to beat me like this? I'm still a rookie."

"A 100% shooting percentage, old K, who will you kill if you don't kill him?" Old Nelson said with a smile.

This season, there are two big centers in the league, which are completely different from the three super centers. His small lineup can't defend at all. Under the opponent's open tactics, the double-team tactics are not very good. He can only try the hacking tactics.

Fortunately, both of these big centers have a weakness, the same as the original Chamberlain, that is, they can't make free throws, which gives room for hacking tactics.

In fact, he is more afraid of O'Neal, because O'Neal's athletic quality is too strong, and his dominance and destructive power in the paint area are even more terrifying. He just tried the old K first.

In this day and age, the league has not issued a rule restricting slashing tactics, that is, the entire quarter, including the last 2 minutes of the most critical final quarter, can use slashing tactics. Now the effect against Old K is not bad. He thinks this tactic can be carried forward.

Next, Pharaoh made one of two free throws and scored his 14th point.

Then, he rarely asked for the ball, and went all out to grab rebounds.

At the end of the third quarter, 76:66, the Suns led by 10 points.

Wang Tiejun grabbed 7 rebounds in 3 minutes, and two of them were offensive rebounds. Because the Warriors' offensive rhythm was too fast, he couldn't keep up and couldn't grab many backcourt rebounds.

三节结束，27分钟，他的数据是14分16篮板2助攻1盖帽1犯规。

"Coach, let me play at the beginning of the last quarter, let me play two." After the game, he ran to the head coach and asked.

Paul Westphal thought for a while, nodded, and agreed.

"Great! Thank you Coach."

Lao Wang excitedly shouted at the others: "Brothers, it's up to you, give me a few shots before they commit five fouls."

"just wait."

Old K scored a point with a free throw in the third quarter, and Kevin Johnson also agreed.

In the final quarter, Pharaoh played from the very beginning, the Suns attacked, and after they were all opened up, he asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing, and played opponents one-on-one.

In the first 5 minutes of the last quarter, he made 4 of 3 shots and 2 of 1 free throws. He scored 7 points and grabbed 1 rebound.

Even if the Warriors wanted to double-team him, Barkley pulled away on the weak side. With his powerful superstar strength, the Warriors' double-team plan failed, and it was too late.

"Cool!"

After playing 32 minutes, he has already scored 21 points and 17 rebounds, and made 9 of 8 shots and 12 of 5 free throws. The offensive efficiency is very high, which makes him very happy.

"Rebound, rebound, rebound..."

In the following energy, he mainly devoted himself to rebounding.

Finally, 10 seconds before the end of the game, he grabbed the 20th rebound from Barkley and hit the first 20+20 double-double in his career.

"Congratulations to the host, get the first 20+20 in your career, get 200 points reward, get the first rebound 20+, get 100 points reward."

"Cool, 350 for a game."

Lao Wang was secretly happy when Barkley came to his door.

"Old K, you dare to brush the backboard on my head?"

Barkley couldn't laugh or cry when Lao Wang robbed a backcourt rebound on his head.

"Brother, you must have the heart of adult beauty." Old Wang laughed.

"It's not your first big double-double, I can let you take it away?" Barkley smiled helplessly.

At the end of the game, the Suns were inaccurate from the outside today, their efficiency was low, and their shooting percentage was less than 106%. However, relying on rebounds, they won the Warriors, and the advantage was not small, 91:15, winning by [-] points.

Barkley only scored 6 points in the first half, but took over the team's offense in the second half. He scored 23 points in the half and scored a game-high 29 points and 11 rebounds.

However, the best player in the game was not given to him, but to Wang Tiejun, who played a hot rebound tonight.

"Haha, I'm the first player in the game, let's see if there is any reward." Old Wang immediately turned on the system.

"Congratulations to the host, you have won the first player of the game in your career, and you have received a reward of 50 points." Sure enough, there was a new reminder.

"Only 50 points? Well, it's better than nothing." Old Wang laughed.

Now he has accumulated another 900 points in his hand, but he has not yet planned how to redeem them.

He came to Roberts, who smiled and said, "Old K, congratulations, your performance tonight is at the superstar level."

"Thank you! I'm lucky tonight, the rebounds always come to me." He smiled.

At this time, two reporters came over and wanted to interview him live after the game. This was the first time in his life.

"Old K, your shooting percentage is super high tonight. You only missed a close hook. The seven offenses belonged to dunks at the basket, but your free throws are too bad. Have you considered adding some free throw training?" ESPN reporter interviewed.

"I have been practicing, but after a period of heavy physical work, my wrist has become thicker than before. I have lost the shooting touch I used to have, and I can't improve it now." Lao Wang said helplessly.

"So what kind of heavy physical work have you ever done?" the reporter asked with interest.

Even if Roberts is by his side, Lao Wang doesn’t shy away from this. Although he is an illegal worker, he earns hard money, not dirty money, so he said: “Loading and unloading cargo, and being a stone thrower on a ship, and carrying cement pipes for the pipeline project of the Manhattan district government, there are many.”

"Oh, the district government will also use you?" The reporter asked in surprise.

"Why not? Our labor costs are very low, black workers only have one-half or even one-third of their wages. In order to save costs, they have no scruples." Old Wang said.

"Are they still contacting you?" the reporter quipped.

"No, they probably don't have my contact information." Lao Wang laughed.

Then, one more question was answered and the interview was over.

"Julia, can you wait for me? Let me take you back to the hotel. I can't let you go back alone. It's too dangerous."

After the reporter left, Old Wang smiled and said to Roberts.

"It seems to be more dangerous for you to send it?"

Roberts smiled and nodded slightly.

"awesome!"

Lao Wang cheered, and immediately asked, "Will you not be driving a Ferrari again this time?"

"Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the No. [-] parking lot."

Roberts rubbed his forehead and smiled, gave Lao Wang a look, then waved his hand and left first.

"Old K, you are lucky, hurry up and wash yourself, and then send yourself to her bed."

Kevin Johnson walked over with envy, stared at Roberts' back and smiled.

"Bye-Bye!"

Pharaoh quickly ran to the player tunnel.

Running all the way back to the locker room, he immediately rushed into the bathroom.

"Deodorant, shampoo..."

After 10 minutes, he washed out of the bathroom, opened Buckley's closet, and dug out his men's perfume.

"Old K, you use mine every time?" Buckley said angrily.

"Brother, I forgot to buy it. Next time I will give you a bottle." Old Wang said with a smile.

"Shet, you forgot to buy it on purpose, you miser! Shall I give you another dozen TT?" Barkley scolded with a smile.

"NO, I'm ready." Pharaoh immediately refused.

A few minutes later, he rushed out of the dressing room in a suit and leather shoes.

"This guy didn't even attend the press conference." Head coach Paul Westphal shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"A guy who has been holding back for almost 20 years, nothing can stop him tonight." Barkley joked.

"Yeah, so I can't bear to stop him, and neither can God." Paul Westphal laughed.

"Haha..." The locker room burst into laughter.

"Won't this woman let me go?"

Lao Wang trotted all the way to the No. [-] underground parking lot. He was relieved when he saw Roberts, and he was relieved when he saw the SUV next to her.

"Okay, ma'am, let me escort you back to the hotel now." He smiled and opened the co-pilot's door for Roberts.

"Old K, I hope your speed can exceed twenty miles per hour." Roberts complained, and then sat in.

……

On the 12th, Pharaoh slept until 10 am.

Dazui had a job today, so he had left first, and the Suns were going to the next away game, so he also left the hotel after taking a shower.

The two lived in a high-end private hotel with high privacy, so they didn't worry about being disturbed by the media, and there were no paparazzi following them when they left.

Back at the hotel where the team stayed, the team was packing up and preparing to go to the next away game, which is the home of the Supersonics, Seattle.

"Oh, look, who's back? Old K, can you still walk?"

Buckley, who was standing in the corridor dragging his suitcase, screamed strangely when he saw Old Wang.

"Hey old K, how's it like dating a big star?"

"Old K, you are the first guy on our team to date a big Hollywood star, tell me, how do you feel?"

When the other people heard it, they also ran out of the room one after another, and began to tease Lao Wang in one go.

Lao Wang stood in the middle triumphantly and shouted: "It feels great, she is very gentle."

"Oh, haha..." Barkley laughed.

"Damn it, lucky rookie!" Dan Marley laughed and cursed enviously.

"Old K, which one of you won?" Kevin Johnson asked.

"Of course it was Old K who lost, what's the point?" Danny Ainge laughed.

"Haha..." The hallway burst into laughter.

After packing up, a group of people rushed out of the hotel and took the bus to the airport.

As soon as he boarded the plane, Lao Wang put on his headphones and fell asleep to the singing of Princess Xian.

Near five o'clock in the afternoon on the 12th, the Suns checked into a hotel in Seattle, Washington.

After having dinner and resting for an hour, at about 07:30, Lao Wang found the hotel gym and started training today.

Including the rest time in the middle, the four systematic trainings took a total of four hours, and it was almost late at night to complete all the content of today.

The next day, on the morning of the 13th, he conducted two hours of strength and flexibility training in the hotel, and put the pace and coordination training in the afternoon team training, so that the distribution of physical energy was more balanced.

At noon, after lunch, the team held a tactical meeting to digest food by the way.

The Supersonics have top-level point guard Payton, top-level organization and defense, and at the same time have the originator of the Beastism, Rainman Sean Kemp, plus the former two-time Super Sixth Man, who is now the No. [-] scorer in this game after being promoted to the starting point.

Last season, he made it to the first round of the Western Conference. Last season, he made it to the second round and lost to the Jazz. This season he was in the first place in the Western Conference. Now he is only two wins behind the Suns, ranking second in the Western Conference.

The Sonics are very powerful, and they are also a strong enemy in the West. The matter is of great importance, so the Suns will hold a tactical meeting cautiously.

"Old K, you must be careful in this game. Sean Kemp's physical fitness is too strong, and he is good at aerial work. Like Barkley, he is a player who flies above the top three super centers. His dunk is a headache for all insiders. You must be careful of his impact on you."

Barkley sat next to Lao Wang and whispered.

"How high can he jump?" Old Wang asked curiously.

"100 centimeters? Or 110 centimeters? I don't know, anyway, his flat basket dunk is often staged." Barkley shrugged.

"so tall?"

Old Wang almost bit his own tongue, he was only sixty centimeters, and the difference was more than a foot, the gap was a bit big.

"Also, not only does he jump high, but his bullet speed is amazing. He goes up to the sky as soon as he jumps, and you have no chance to pull him down." Barkley said again.

Old Wang felt uneasy. What he was most afraid of was being detained. One point would be deducted, 1 points would be fined, five points would be fined, and if it was over, the system would commit suicide.
Assistant coach Lewis said to Lao Wang at this time: "Old K, his height is 208 centimeters, and his weight is 104 kilograms. He should still be this tonnage now, at most 105 kilograms. In addition to his terrifying explosive power, his speed is comparable to that of a defender. He can make fast breaks. He also has extremely strong agility. He can make large changes in direction, and even do all kinds of fake moves if he wants..."

"Fuck, another pervert." Old Wang muttered.

Lewis said with a smile: "So, old K, when you deal with him, you have to use your characteristics."

"My characteristics?" Lao Wang responded.

"Yes, your tonnage, strength, don't let him near the basket." Lewis said.

Old Wang nodded thoughtfully, then was taken aback for a moment. What do you mean by this, you want me to face him?This is wrong, he is a power forward, I am a center forward, and he is Barkley's job. He quickly asked: "Coach, why don't you introduce the information of my opponent Michael Cage?"

Lewis laughed, nodded and said, "Don't worry, old K, I didn't ask you to face Sean Kemp, you can't keep up with his speed."

Barkley joked: "Old K, are you afraid of being dunked by the rain?"

"Ha ha……"

The crowd laughed.

Lao Wang became angry and said: "If he dares to block me, I will not be polite to him."

"Okay, let me tell you something."

Head coach Paul Westphal said at this time: "The Supersonics' main lineup is based on the model of two guards + three forwards. They are extremely aggressive in the paint and the basket. This season, they averaged 108 points per game. Rainman Kemp is their highest height on the field. They actually do not have a fixed center. The players in positions three, four, and five are about the same height, and their positions are somewhat blurred, so they often switch defenses..."

Lao Wang scratched his head. He was most afraid of switching defenses, because his ability to switch defenses was poor, and when he encountered a fast guy or a small guy, he would be thrown off him immediately.

Next, Paul Westphal explained the tactics of the game.

On the offensive end, add some old Wang's low-post tactics to make full use of his height and low post-up ability.

The current Suns intend to gradually increase Lao Wang's tactical status.

Among the five starting lineups of the Suns, only Lao Wang is over two meters tall, and the other four are all under two meters. Therefore, the starting lineup of the Suns is actually one of the shortest starting lineups in the league.

It's just that his ability is not enough now, especially in rebounding and defense. He is still far from becoming the pillar of the Suns.
