NBA backer king

Chapter 289 The Giant Beast With Wings

On the 27th, the G3 game of the Western Conference finals started.

In this game, Mosaic still did not change his tactics, and still played open tactics, letting Dameng pull out, trying to consume Wang Tiejun's physical energy.

But Wang Tiejun took it down and led the team to win the crucial G3 game and get the match point in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was depressing.

Limited to the hard strength of the lineup, although Dameng was prepared to not beat the Suns, he could not accept the outcome of being swept away.

Even Barkley couldn't accept being swept by the Suns. For a superstar, it must be a humiliating ending.

Head coach Tomjanovich is under the greatest pressure. He has implemented the established tactics, but now the tactics are facing complete failure. Once swept, the management may fire him.

In fact, he wanted to test Wang Tiejun's physical limit and wanted to continue the original tactics in the G4 game, but the pressure was too great. He eliminated the Suns in the Western Conference finals last season, but was swept away this season. Just the fans in Houston will spray him to death.

The Suns led by a big score of [-] to [-], sweeping Mosaic soon, compared to the Bulls lost to the Magic, did not get the match point, so the media like ESPN adjusted the chances of the four teams to win the next day.

The Bulls dropped from 65% to 53%, and the Suns improved to 47%.

This is nothing, but as soon as the other two teams' chances of winning the championship were announced, ESPN's hotline was overwhelmed by fans of these two teams.

The Magic have a 10% chance of winning the championship, not to mention, there is still a [-]% chance of winning, which is somewhat of a consolation.

But Mosaic's chances of winning the championship are actually 0, which makes Houston fans unbearable. You can give it 1%, give it a duck egg, it's too shameful, and it's too embarrassing, right?
Dameng was also very angry, but he didn't have the face to stand up and say anything, because he was behind by three points, which meant that the current Mosaic team and the current Suns team were two teams of different grades, and they had almost no chance of a comeback.

ESPN also gave their own explanation. They believe that in the history of the NBA playoffs, there has never been a [-]-[-] comeback. Since the Mosaic team cannot come back, the probability of reaching the finals is zero. Of course, the probability of winning is also zero, so the probability they gave is no problem.

At noon on the 28th, Wang Tiejun called Buckley and Dameng to come to the martial arts hall for dinner.

After Dameng and Barkley sat down at the table, they found that a large bowl of fragrant marinated eggs was served and placed in front of them specially.

"Come, come, try it, it's specially prepared for you." Old Wang said enthusiastically.

Dameng and Barkley were so angry that they wanted to hit someone, they gave Old Wang a hard look.

Old Wang asked suspiciously, "Don't you like it? I thought you guys liked it."

He was also a little grateful and said: "Fortunately, ESPN gave you a piece of shit. If you have a negative score, I don't even know what to prepare for you."

"Old K, I'm going to kill you!"

Barkley got up and rushed over, and so did Dameng next to him.

"Haha..." Lao Wang burst out laughing.

That night, the Bulls defeated the Magic and won the Eastern Conference finals with a big score of [-] to [-].

On the 29th, the G4 game of the Western Conference finals started.

Mosaic: Olajuwon, Barkley, Chucky Brown, Mario Elli, Kenny Smith

Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

"Mosaic should fight to the death today to avoid the most shameful sweep." Bill Wharton said in the ABC commentary.

"But it's very difficult. The three outside positions will be blown up." John Hanks said.

"I don't know if Dameng will always play outside today. He didn't show the demeanor of a super center at all in this series." Bill Walton said with some regret.

In the commentary booth of CCTV, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "The Suns will definitely take advantage of the victory tonight and strive to complete the sweep. They will not show mercy."

Nodding his head, Su Qun smiled and said, "They are brothers off the court, and opponents on the court."

"Hey, you two old corned eggs, are you ready to be swept away?" In the player tunnel, Lao Wang shouted at Dameng and Barkley who came over.

Dameng and Barkley squeezed their fists at the same time, feeling a little itchy.

"Charles, join hands and kill this bastard!"

"Well, join hands."

Fighting is impossible, so the two bit their ears and muttered.

At 08:30, the game officially started. After the jump ball, Mosaic attacked.

"Look at how Dameng plays? Oh, he didn't pull out and settled in the low post. Today Mosaic changed his offensive tactics." Bill Walton shouted in surprise.

"But there is a high probability that they will not be able to fight. If the outside line is suppressed, the inside line will not get enough support." John Hanks immediately poured cold water on it.

"At least it will look better." Bill Wharton laughed.

The left wing was low, and Dameng moved in tentatively, but was blocked by Lao Wang. He suddenly lifted up to attract the latter to move upward and laterally, then immediately turned around and quickly cut into the paint area.

With a quick reverse run, he got rid of Wang Tiejun and got a brief vacancy.

At this time, if there is a point guard with top vision and passing ability outside, as long as he sees the open space of Dameng, as long as he passes in, it is basically a steady goal.

It's a pity that the outside line is indeed weaker. Kevin Johnson cut off the connection between Kenny Smith and the low post. This direction is his main defensive direction, and Kenny Smith didn't find Dameng's open space in time, and the ball didn't come in in time. Dameng had to withdraw first and then look for opportunities.

There is no chance here, but Barkley came out on the other side. His strength and tonnage firmly overwhelmed AC Green, and the defender was stuck in position and began to ask for the ball.

But he didn't dare to go deep, because today Dameng is in the low post, and old K is also there. The help defense will be very fast, and he can only get the ball in the low post on the right wing.

This time Kenny Smith passed the ball in, and Barkley took the ball and only arched it with his big butt. After getting a little space for the shot, he immediately turned over and shot a jumper.

The offensive rhythm is very fast, in order to avoid Wang Tiejun's weak side defense, this is his intention.

Sure enough, when he made the shot, Wang Tiejun had already rushed past the basket, and if he was a shot later, he would have double-teamed him.

However, the speed of the attack increased, and the hit rate decreased. He didn't intend to shoot the ball himself, but faked the pass and gave it to Dameng.

"not good!"

Wang Tiejun knew something was wrong when he saw Barkley's shooting posture, so he turned around quickly, but it was too late.

Dameng followed Lao Wang into the basket. At this time, his figure exploded, catching Barkley's pass in the air with one hand, and smashing violently.

"boom!"

During the clamor of the basket, the Meixi Arena suddenly fell silent.

"Special!"

Lao Wang found that it would be better if he was lazy. If he didn’t help defend the ball, Barkley might not be able to make the shot. Green’s defense is still good. Barkley’s nearly [-]-point shooting percentage is just [-]%. He is in a better position at the basket.

"Boiled egg, I will treat you well today." Dameng said proudly.

Old Wang stroked his small crew cut, and said with a chuckle, "I never shave my head, so no one can sweep me away. You should enjoy the nickname Braised Egg."

"Humph!"

Being stabbed in the heart again, Dameng snorted coldly and left.

"Dameng and Barkley teaming up is very powerful, Tiejun still has to be careful." Zhang Lili reminded.

"AC Green has a height advantage, but he is not heavy enough, and the effect against Barkley is not very good." Su Qun analyzed.

At this time, the Suns advanced to the front court, and everyone else pulled away. Lao Wang went straight to the basket, and Dameng took a forward move.

"Old K."

Kevin Johnson shouted and threw the ball directly towards the basket.

At this moment, Barkley, who was outside the paint, quickly rushed to the basket, and so did the others. Mosaic's five starters all rushed to the basket.

"..."

In the ABC commentary booth, Bill Wharton was dumbfounded.

"Jordan Law!" John Hanks shouted.

"Be careful!" Zhang Lili reminded loudly.

"Extreme defense?" Su Qun shouted in shock.

"Old K, be careful!"

"The Mosaic team is desperate!"

The two on-site commentators also shouted in shock.

From the moment the ball came in, Dameng immediately changed his defensive strategy around the front.

With a flexible turn, he directly stuck to Wang Tiejun's body, one arm crossed his throat directly and pressed on the opponent's other shoulder, the other hand was underneath and grabbed the opponent's jersey, and one knee went up against the opponent's knee. The defensive strength went up several notches, reaching the strength of the finals.

"Nima's!"

Lao Wang held his breath and struggled for a while, almost choking his throat, Dameng's defense was too dirty.

"Oh!"

He was not easy to get along with, so he pushed his elbow forward, causing Dameng to snort, and he also took the opportunity to gain some space.

At this time, the ball reached the top of his head, and Barkley and the others were one step away. He jumped up quickly, ready to take the ball down.

But he didn't jump up completely. Dameng's throat lock + shoulder press had a good defensive effect. At this time, Barkley arrived, rushed in from the right wing, and took off to break the ball.

Lao Wang glanced at the referee, is this still our home field?Lock the throat and don't blow?Well, I was too hypocritical, only boxing fouls, chokeholds are too childish.

But he also knows that the league really doesn't like sweeps. The Suns have already swept two rounds, which has cost the league a lot of money. Now the whistle is a bit off, which is predictable. Whoever makes the league less money is the public enemy of the league.

"The defensive action is very big tonight, be careful of injuries!" Zhang Reasonable reminded.

"Mosaic must struggle a bit in order not to be swept away, and the whistle should be biased towards them," Su Qun said.

Mosaic advanced to the frontcourt, and Barkley began to take a low position on the right wing, very active.

"The advantage of the fourth position can be said to be the only position where the Mosaic team has an advantage against the Suns." Bill Walton said.

Sure enough, the ball was passed to Barkley, who singled Green.

Green adopts a defensive strategy of anti-shooting but not anti-bursting. Anyway, he is protruding, and there is old K under the basket. He only needs to reduce Barkley's shooting percentage from the outside, so there is no dead top, and his tonnage is much weaker.

He is not dead, but Barkley is a bit difficult to deal with. There is no place for his magic skills. If he turns over and jumps here, Green, whose center of gravity is not arched by him, can defend faster.

However, he still turned around flexibly, overtook Green, and rushed into the paint with the ball.

Anyway, there is still a big dream over there, two against one, he doesn't believe that he can't beat the old K who is so defensive.

But as soon as he entered the paint area, he realized that it was not two-on-one, but three-on-two.

Old K has already returned to the basket. One meter in front of the basket, he not only blocks in front of him, but also raises his hands, blocking the passing line between him and Dameng. If he hangs over, Old K will definitely have time to return to defend Dameng.

The glider emptied Chucky Brown directly and made it to Dameng's side, completely extinguishing his idea of ​​passing the ball to Dameng.

At the same time, Green was also behind him, grabbing his jersey with one hand, as long as he dared to jump up and shoot, he would definitely give him a big cap from behind.

But at this time, he had no choice but to force his shot, stop the jumper suddenly, and made a small throw.

"Snapped!"

Pharaoh reacted quickly, jumped up immediately, grabbed the ball with one hand, and directly grabbed the ball from the air.

"yeah!"

With a rare cap grab, the American West Arena exploded in an instant.

"..."

Barkley's eyes are also tearing apart, old K, you bastard, just take a hat, and you're still scratching your ass?

"Haha, poor Charles, you are no longer a flying pig, you can't fly so high!" the live commentator laughed.

Another on-site commentator said with a smile: "No one can easily break through the huge barrier of Old K head-on."

The Suns attack, all pulled away.

Kevin Johnson has the ball on the outside, pulls to the left wing, and the glider makes a pick-and-roll from the three-point line, and he takes the opportunity to change direction down and burst in.

Dameng had no choice but to step up and block the lightning at his waist.

At this time, Old K moved towards the basket and extended his hand to Kevin Johnson.

On the weak side, Barkley is quickly returning to the basket.

Lightning made a jump shot, no, it was a jump pass, and the ball flew in front of Lao Wang.

Wang Tiejun soared up, grabbed the ball in the air with one hand, and then hit the basket directly with his backhand.

At the same time, Barkley also returned to the basket and took off to block the shot.

It's a pity that his bounce is not as good as before, his height and wingspan are even worse, and his blocking height is a lot worse than that of Lao Wang.

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

"Di!"

"yeah!"

The sounds of beating hands, smashing baskets, and whistles sounded almost simultaneously, followed by cheers from the audience.

"Charles, you stretched out your hand even though you know you can't reach me, do you want to apply for an exit early? You have a bad attitude." Old Wang said with a smile.

"..."

Barkley is angry, damn it, this is called an instinctive defensive reaction, who broke the can?

"The Suns did a good job defending this time, especially the glider's timely defense against the low post, and did not leave open space for Dameng." Su Qun laughed.

Zhang Lili said: "That's because Chucky Brown's strength is too poor, and he doesn't have three points. He originally released Brown two meters away, which is very close to Dameng's position, so he can make up the defense in time."

On the field, after Wang Tiejun made an extra free throw, the Suns took the lead at home, 2:3, and Mosaic attacked.

This time, Dameng was actively seeking a position. After entering the paint to no avail, he got the ball one meter away from the left waist and began to hit Wang Tiejun with his back.

After a series of shaking, his buttocks had lost touch with Wang Tiejun. Knowing that Old K had retreated, he immediately turned around and took off.

"careful!"

Barkley on the weak side let out a cry.

"what?"

Dream's heart skipped a beat.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, a person popped up behind him, it was the glider Drexler who jumped down from above, and slapped the ball cap.

"damn it!"

In anger, he was about to jump up to grab the ball, but the old K in front jumped up half a beat before grabbing the ball.

"Beautiful! The glider was very active on the defensive end today, and sent a back cap." Zhang Li said happily.

"A cap catch and a cap back, the Suns have clearly strengthened their defense against the low post today," Su Qun said excitedly.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The Mosaic team is not good on the outside, and the Suns will have enough power to help defend the low post. Therefore, the lineup configuration must be reasonable, not just a superstar. If the Mosaic team replaces Barkley with an outside superstar and brings Thorpe back at the fourth position, the lineup will be more reasonable."

Sun attack.

This time Kevin Johnson advanced very quickly, circling around inside and outside the paint area, messing up the defense line that the Mosaic team hadn't had time to form.

Dameng rushed into the basket and drove away Kevin Johnson, but at this time the latter suddenly turned around and passed the ball to the left elbow area, where Lao Wang slanted into the paint area and took off directly after receiving the ball.

"not good!"

As soon as Dameng turned around, he saw that Old K was already flying in the air, knowing that it was too late, he could only dodge to the side quickly.

"call!"

Wang Tiejun's huge body flew past Dameng with the sound of the wind, and the next moment, bang, there was a violent explosion of the basket, and the entire basket sank by a foot in an instant.

"yeah!"

The atmosphere in the audience exploded, and countless people stood up and cheered.

"Oh yeah! Old K flew at least three meters in the air. He just turned into a trapeze man and completed a wonderful aerial work!"

"A gigantic beast with wings, even Dameng shied away from it."

The two on-site commentators roared with excitement, bringing the atmosphere to a peak.

"It's irresistible to attack the basket like a behemoth approaching 130 kilograms." Bill Wharton said excitedly.

"But old K must be careful. If Dameng took a malicious foul just now and pulled him down from the sky, it may cause serious injuries to him." John Hanks reminded.

Bill Wharton thought for a while, nodded, but said: "This situation should not happen, because according to my information, Dameng and Barkley are VIP customers of K Martial Arts Hall, Barkley will not mention it, Dameng's relationship with old K is pretty good now, so he probably won't make such a cruel move.

And who is old K?The aggressiveness in his character is very strong, if anyone dares to hit him with such a cruel hand, unless he directly cripples him, he must be prepared to meet his wrath.

You’ve seen his appearance in the All-Star show last time, my God, the whole show was broken with one stick, and the thick stick was also discounted. This guy is not only a giant beast, but also a real beast. You can beat him head-on, but if you want to deal with him dirty, you will definitely suffer his wrath. "

John Hanks also nodded, and said with a smile: "Speaking of K Martial Arts, I heard that it is doing well. Many rich people in Phoenix are VIP members, and even many big Hollywood stars are VIP customers. Old K must have made a lot of money."

Bill Wharton said with a smile: "I know a little about this. In addition to teaching martial arts, the K Martial Art Museum also provides VIP services such as acupuncture, medicinal baths, and medicated oil massage. It is said that the effect is good."

"Bill, do you know what effects those VIP services have?" John Hanks asked.

"Acupuncture and moxibustion can treat injuries, and massage seems to be able to do it. Anyway, it is very good for athletes. I don't know much about the others." Bill Wharton said.

"Then when shall we experience it?" John Hanks suggested.

"It's all VIP services. Only VIP customers are eligible to purchase. The membership fee is [-] US dollars for one year and [-] US dollars for three years." Bill Wharton said.

"Oh, it's a bit expensive. If it were me, I would choose [-] U.S. dollars for three years and buy VIP for three years at one time. There must be a discount." John Hanks laughed.

"That's for sure." Bill Wharton nodded.

After the conversation between the two, other people didn't know. Anyway, many Chinese Americans who watched the game were stunned. They all had memorized the nine-nine multiplication formula.
