NBA backer king

Chapter 23 The Unskilled Dunk
Philadelphia offense.

Hornacek ran without the ball. After catching the ball, he made a shot from the right wing. Dan Marley blocked it in the face.

Wang Tiejun stood firmly under the basket and protected the backcourt rebound. Dan Marley quickly made a quick dunk after receiving a long pass from the former.

4:0, the Suns lead.

Head coach Paul Westphal nodded. He was very satisfied with Wang Tiejun's ability to rebound in the backcourt and launch a fast break, and his passing and receiving skills were also good.

Playing the Magic, Wang Tiejun had 8 rebounds, including 7 backcourt rebounds.

But he also knows that Wang Tiejun is limited by his mobility, and the rebounding area is not large. The most secure place is the basket. As long as he stands still, no one can squeeze him.

Philadelphia offense.

Andrew Lang pulled out of the paint and onto the left wing.

His style of play is too soft, his offensive position is wide, and he is a bit mid-range. As a center forward, the number of free throws in his career is only 1.6 times, which shows how resistant he is to confrontation.

Wang Tiejun came out from the defense, took two steps, and stood on the left line of the paint area.

However, the Philadelphia offense was not handed over to Andrew Lang. Point guard Jose Hawkins made a sudden stop for a jumper after breaking through. Under the defense of Kevin Johnson, he still failed to hit the ball.

Wang Tiejun returned to the basket in time, but the rebound was caught by the faster Barkley.

Sun attack, positional warfare.

Andrew Lang didn't confront at all this time, he just walked forward. Wang Tiejun was not polite, and went directly to the basket, struggling to push the former away from the basket, and then asked for the ball at the top of the arc.

Kevin Johnson also considered to save face and lobbed the ball in again.

He jumped slightly and grabbed the ball with one hand. At this time, Andrew Lang had turned around to block between him and the basket.

But he didn't hesitate, held high and hit high, took off with all his strength, and dunked heavily with both hands.

Since entering the Suns, the team's trainers have strictly demanded him not to put the ball down after receiving the ball at the basket, and try not to dribble. He began to develop this habit.

"boom!"

Amid the violent smashing of the basket, Andrew Lang, who was dunked, fell down, and the basket in Philadelphia was smashed by more than a foot, as if it was about to collapse.

"Di!"

Amidst the exclamations of the fans, the referee blew his whistle, pointed at Andrew Lang, and gestured for a thug foul.

"Old K, well done!"

Excited Barkley ran up and had a chest-bumping celebration with Wang Tiejun.

"Ho... ho..."

Pulled by his teammates, Andrew Lang climbed up panting, and immediately walked away from Wang Tiejun. He thought he was fighting a giant beast. As a person who doesn't like confrontation, he felt it was too dangerous.

In the on-site commentary booth, Rohm and Venus looked at each other with this ferocious cut.

After hesitation for a long time, Rom finally explained: "The Chinese coolie completed a slam dunk with no technical content. Yes, a fool can do it like him under the basket..."

Having said that, he glanced at Venus, expecting his partner to continue his conversation, but the latter said after a while, "I bet he won't get an extra penalty."

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared.

Wang Tiejun laughed excitedly, and actually scored a free throw, which made him happier than completing a dunk.

"Well, it's luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face, and the commentator Venus said awkwardly.

"Kevin, step up your offense around the basket."

On the sidelines, head coach Paul Westphal shouted excitedly at guard Johnson.

"OK." Kevin Johnson nodded.

Looking back, Jeff Hornacek made a three-pointer and hit a goal, 7:3, Philadelphia was still 4 points behind.

The Suns attacked, and Barkley was faster and entered the paint area first.

Wang Tiejun lingered in the low position on the left wing, and did not enter the basket immediately, not only to avoid wasting the offensive time in the three-second zone, but also to avoid squeezing Barkley's room for movement.

At this time, Kevin Johnson reached the top of the arc with the ball and made a gesture of pulling away.

In addition to pulling away from the outside line, Barkley also immediately pulled to the right wing, taking away the opponent's power forward Tim Perry.

At the same time, Wang Tiejun immediately entered the basket according to the tactical requirements.

"Andrew, hold that rookie and don't let him in."

At this time, Fred Carter, the rookie head coach of the Philadelphia Digital Team, waved his fist and shouted on the sidelines.

Andrew Lang, who doesn't like confrontation, can only take the top defense and give up the defensive way around the front.

One meter into the paint and one step away from the basket, Wang Tiejun immediately turned around, leaning his back against the defender, and opened his hand to ask for the ball at the top of the arc.

Kevin Johnson passed the ball down, and after he received the ball with his right hand, there was probably less than one second five left in the attack time.

If it was O'Neal, a quick Shark turn so close to the basket, a direct dunk or a hook throw, could end the offense.

If it's a big dream, it's very easy for him to shake the defender with dream footwork and then have a hundred ways to put the ball in the basket.

If it is other super centers, each has its own way.

But his ability to finish close to the basket is too poor, so there is only one way, continue to hit with his back, continue to push horizontally to the basket, and then end the offense with a dunk.

The attack is limited to three seconds, and he only has one chance to hit.

At this moment, he broke out with all his strength.

"Oh!"

During the dribble, there was a sudden pause under the feet, the force rose from the ground, and the core muscles of the waist and abdomen were twisted. The six forces suddenly merged into one and turned into a huge hitting force. Using the back of the left shoulder as the attack point, it hit Andrew Lang's chest.

"Uh!"

Under the instant violent crushing, Andrew Lang's chest was crushed, and the gas in the chest was compressed sharply, and a screaming sound came out passively in his throat.

And his body also fell down in response, falling heavily on the floor.

At this time, the basketball bounced off the floor, Wang Tiejun grabbed it with a big hand, and before turning around, strode across Andrew Lang's body, and then his figure exploded.

"boom!"

During the dunk with one hand, the entire basket trembled suddenly, as if it had been greatly frightened.

"Oh!"

The audience exclaimed, and then fell into dead silence.

All Philadelphia fans stared at the behemoth hanging above the basket. The strong sense of oppression came from the behemoth, and the invisible oppression pressed on their hearts, making them breathless.

"Old K, one day, you will become our super center." On the court, Barkley rushed over excitedly and shouted.

"Rookie, you will still receive my pass, get ready." Kevin Johnson also shouted excitedly.

Wang Tiejun held his chest up, "looking down" at Philadelphia's home court, and a surge of self-confidence rose in his heart, which could not be suppressed.

Playing against a center like Andrew Lang has a completely different feel than playing against Shaquille O'Neal.

Against O'Neal, apart from restraining O'Neal and consuming his physical energy, he has no advantage, and he is blown up on both offense and defense.

Even if he reduces the opponent's efficiency and helps the team a lot, in fact, he does have a great sense of frustration in his heart.

This frustration stems from O'Neal's crushing of his talent, and the data gap is too great.

But against a blue-collar center like Andrew, he felt that he had an advantage in the low post. Even if his other skills were not good, just relying on a low-post back and back was enough to deal with such a blue-collar center.

This advantage immediately gave him a kind of self-confidence based on the NBA.

At Wang Tiejun's feet, Andrew Lang was breathing in pain. He felt that his right chest had been knocked down, and there was a faint smell of blood between his breaths.

With the help of teammate Tim Perry, he stood up, and then immediately signaled to the bench for substitutions that he was dying.

"Shet!"

Head coach Fred Carter yelled, called for a timeout, and then turned and stared at the bench, wondering who to put on the field.

All the inside lines of the digital team, from the main force to the substitute, center Andrew Lang has the largest tonnage. They can't hold that monster a few times. Who can hold it?And what he needs now is a meat shield that can carry that giant beast.

In the on-site commentary booth, the two commentators swallowed dryly, but they were a little speechless.

Rom murmured for a long time before saying: "I have to admit that his back-up is too brutal, really too cruel! No wonder the No. [-] pick O'Neal can't handle his back-up."

"From this point of view, after O'Neal fought with him, he immediately had a truce. It should be because his body was too exhausted!"

Venus nodded, and then said: "As far as I know, in the history of the league, for decades, there has never been a super center who has played with his back."

Rohm nodded and said, "Even Shaquille O'Neal, the rookie No. [-] pick who just made his debut this season, doesn't have such a violent back.

But in fact, his back-to-back hitting is just powerful, and the technical content is very low. "

"Yes, yes, no technology."

Venus quickly agreed, thought for a while and said: "We need to trade a meat shield in. All our insiders look too thin in front of him."

"Yes, I think so too." Rom nodded.

The digital team finally sent Almon Gilliam as a substitute insider, who can play in the fourth and fifth positions, with a height of 206 cm and a tonnage of only 105 kg.

Gilliam is not a small person. He is nicknamed the Hammer. He was the No. 87 pick selected by the Suns in 15. David Robinson and Pippen were selected in the same year.

In the 90/91 season, he was traded to Philadelphia again. Last season, he partnered with Barkley on the inside and once again played a quasi-All-Star data of 17+8 as the main center. Unfortunately, due to injuries this season, he entered the bench lineup and his playing time and performance were greatly reduced.

In fact, he would have been an All-Star for sure without the injuries, but recurring injuries have ruined him.

What is even more frightening is that in 2011 in the future, he died suddenly in an amateur game.

"Hey, Almon."

The timeout ended, the game started, and when Gilliam came on, Barkley came over with a smile and held out his hand.

"Hey, Charles."

Gilliam smiled and gave a high-five.

The game started and Philadelphia attacked.
