NBA backer king

Chapter 345 I Despise Them

With the start of the official training camp, the teams began to enter the atmosphere of the new season.

On the 26th, there was news from the Magic that O'Neal accidentally injured his left knee tendon during team training and needed to be sidelined for at least [-] games.

This news immediately aroused speculation in the media.

"O'Neal's style of play is more flexible than the old K, but he suffered injuries earlier. Does this mean that the Magic's swinging between him and Penny Hardaway is a correct attitude?" The New York Times.

"Two behemoths, the old K who plays more aggressively has not yet suffered from injuries, but O'Neal's knee is injured, which shows that the old K has a stronger ability to resist injuries. What considerations will the Magic make? This is a question." Los Angeles Daily.

There is still a lot of news like this. To be a monster that can compete with the old K is another contract year for O'Neill. His every move is very concerned by the media.

"Damn the media, I was injured accidentally, what does this mean?"

O'Neill was very annoyed after being injured. He knew his body very well, his coordination and flexibility were top-notch, and he was not easy to be injured. He thought that Old K would be injured before him, but he did not expect that he was injured first, and it was the most critical knee.

Fortunately, the injury is not serious, does not require surgery, and will not leave hidden dangers.

At this moment, the cell phone rang, and when he saw that it was Old K's call, he became a little annoyed. Did this bastard come to laugh at him?

"Hello, old K, I'm fine, you don't need to comfort me." After connecting, he said first.

"Who comforts you, I just asked you, you have entered the VIP of the K martial arts gym, and have you purchased VIP services many times?" Old Wang asked.

"Ten times, that thing is too expensive, one medicated bath is one thousand dollars, one medicated oil massage is two thousand dollars, the masseur needs to be hired for at least ten days at a time, ten days is five thousand dollars, old K, you are a vampire." O'Neill complained.

"You idiot, don't the masseuses come to your place for free? Air tickets, hotels, food and drinks, everything costs money, and you only invite me for one day? Why don't you hire an exclusive masseuse, and the package will be cheaper." Old Wang scolded.

O'Neal was speechless and asked angrily, "What are you calling me for?"

"Don't do anything, just sell the medicated oil massage service, haha!" Lao Wang laughed and hung up the phone directly.

"damn it!"

O'Neal turned pale with anger, gritted his teeth, dialed the phone number of the New York branch of K Martial Arts, booked an exclusive massage therapist with a monthly subscription, and purchased a month's worth of medicated oil and medicated bath packs.

Now the exclusive masseurs of K Martial Art Museum are subdivided into two types. There is an annual subscription, the cheapest, which costs [-] US dollars a year, and a monthly subscription, which costs [-] a month.

As for O'Neill's original dispatch, it was five hundred dollars a day, the most expensive, and at least ten days each time.

"My money!"

After making the phone call, Old K made a profit of one hundred thousand dollars, and O'Neill was so distressed that it hurt even more than his knee.

……

After a few days of in-team training, the Suns showed a good side and some bad sides.

Lightning Kevin Johnson's state should be said to be pretty good, even better than at the beginning of last season. With the team's perimeter strength weakening, this is a very positive signal for the team. The team's offensive engine still has oil in the fuel tank.

Another good situation is that the old K is stronger. When a behemoth with faster movement and more flexible low-post attack appears in front of everyone, it is a kind of surprise and shock.

Lao Wang also showed the team a little mid-range shooting technique. Although the shooting rate is not very high when facing the defense, it also means that he has a certain ability to stretch and create more opportunities and space for outside breakthroughs.

Although the team's outside line has weakened, the Lightning has maintained a good state, and rookie Michael Finley also has a certain breakthrough ability. More importantly, Wilkins, who mainly plays breakthrough, will get more opportunities on the weak side.

On the downside, the team's outside long-range shooting ability is insufficient, and the ability to stretch out has a big decline compared with last season. This has a considerable hindrance to Lao Wang's low-post offense and will also make the team's breakthrough more difficult.

In addition, Wilkins is almost 36 years old after all, and his state is not at its peak. According to observations, he can play 30 to 32 minutes at most.

At the same time, Robert Horry, who will be entrusted with important tasks in the new season, is once again disappointing. In the past few days of training, he has not shown a better competitive state than last season, and his shooting percentage is even worse than last season.

Lao Wang didn't believe Horry's idea of ​​extra training during the offseason at all. This year's show of his was only suitable for playing as a substitute. As a main player, he couldn't afford it at all, and his open shooting rate was too low.

Although Horry's mentality is very stable and he can shoot some key shots accurately, what he wants is not a teammate who shoots key shots, but a teammate who can continue to contribute for at least 35 minutes.

Rookie Mike Finley is in a good state during training. The team is quite satisfied with his performance. His offensive efficiency is higher than that of Horry, and his defense is not bad.

It’s just that his weakness is also very clear. The ability to break through with the ball is not enough. This weakness makes him shoot the most three-pointers and long two-pointers, and his offense is too wide.

Fortunately, Wilkins can break through, so the coaching staff arranged for Finley and Wang Tiejun to be on the wing, responsible for stretching, playing off the ball, as a pitcher, and training towards a 3D type.

In this way, Kevin Johnson is the only one who can attack with the ball on the three perimeters. His responsibilities and functions far exceed those of last season, and the pressure on him is very high.

He himself is also thankful that he practiced extra during the offseason in order to make a good contract year, otherwise the state of the previous season would definitely not be able to shoulder this responsibility.

In a meeting between the management and the coaching staff, Westphal said: "In positions [-], [-], and [-], neither Finley nor Wilkins has much ability to hold the ball. We only have Lightning's ability to hold the ball. Although he is currently in good condition, his age is still there.

So I think next year's draft should focus on the perimeter with the ability to hold the ball, a point guard who can pass the ball and long-range shots, a shooting guard or small forward with the ability to hold the ball and long-range shots, and they must also have good defensive awareness. Only in this way can we compete with the Bulls. "

His words got little Colangelo's attention.

When the teams gradually entered the state, the major media also became active, conducting various analyzes on the situation of the new season.

The host of TNT's NBA channel said in his program: "The Eastern Conference should still be dominated by the Bulls, and the lineup has not changed much. The addition of Rodman, the flower bug, is not good or bad. He may still destroy the atmosphere of the Bulls.

If so, it will be difficult for the Bulls, who are unstable in the locker room, to have a competitive season in the following season.

But if the Bulls can solve Rodman's problem, it will usher in a stronger season than last season, and the probability of winning the championship will be higher than last season. "

Then he said: "The Magic and the Knicks belong to the second-tier teams in the East, but it is difficult for them to launch an impact on the Bulls and cannot form a real threat."

The Knicks' lineup has not changed much, and its competitiveness is similar to last season. No matter whether it encounters the Bulls or the Magic, it will suffer.

As for the Magic, their management is indecisive and has not yet made a decisive choice between O'Neal and Hardaway. This will undoubtedly hit and hurt the heart of the behemoth O'Neal, and even leave opportunities for other teams to poach people. After the end of this season's contract, whether he will stay in the Magic, I have great doubts.

As far as the new season is concerned, the Magic's lineup is not strong enough, and Hardaway still needs time to grow, so the Magic can't pose a threat to the Bulls. If they meet the Bulls in the playoffs, the ending should be bleak.

Also about O'Neill, good guy, this guy who is not interested in training and likes hamburgers and Coke, in the past offseason, he actually did extra training and quit junk food. He lost some fat and gained some muscle. He actually weighs 140 kg now, but he is faster and stronger than last season.

So I want to say, old K, you have to be careful, another giant beast is about to attack you. "

After talking about the East, he talked about the West again, saying: "In the West, Mosaic will be the most powerful team, because they have formed the Big Three, the first team, and the Bulls' strongest competitor. The joining of Glider and the reinforcement of the perimeter gave Dameng the hope of winning the championship.

The Suns, Spurs, Supersonics, and Jazz are the second-tier teams in the West. I think their strengths are at the same level.

For the Suns, I need to say a single word, because it was the championship last season.But I think this season, the Suns have little chance of defending their title.

Although Wilkins joined the Suns as a free agent, he is old and his weaknesses are obvious. He has no decisive effect on the Suns' reinforcements.

At the same time, the Suns' main lineup has gone three, and the outside line has suffered greater losses. There is no defense and no long-range shots. This will affect and threaten the quality of low-post offense. "

Finally, he said: "According to our analysis, the probability of winning the new season predicts that the Bulls will occupy the first place, with a probability of winning as high as 40%.

TNT's analysis of the situation has been recognized by most people.

At the same time, ESPN also gave its own analysis. The predicted ranking of the probability of winning is similar to that of TNT. The Bulls are first, with a 45% probability of winning, and Mosaic is 40%.

"The analysis of these media is just to take a look, don't take them seriously." Wang Tiejun said in an interview with the media.

"So old K, what do you think is the team with the highest probability of winning this season?" the reporter asked.

"Do you think there are other possibilities for my answer?" Wang Tiejun asked back.

The reporter shrugged. He had to admit that he asked a rather stupid question, because it was almost impossible, no, absolutely impossible for Old K to admit that other teams were better than the Suns.

On the evening of the 30th, the CCTV live broadcast team arrived in Phoenix. The three photographers were adjusted and replaced by two, but the commentators were still Zhang Lili and Su Qun.

Lao Wang took them from the airport to the K Martial Arts Hall for dinner, which was regarded as a welcome.

"Tie Jun, how is this season?" Zhang Lili asked during the meal.

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "The Western Mosaic is very difficult. Even if we make it out of the Western Conference, our outside line is much worse than last season, and our outside defense is even worse. It will be very difficult to play against the Bulls."

"No hope?" Su Qun asked.

Lao Wang said: "Let me tell you the truth, of course I hope, like last season, I completely ruled their penalty area and I have a chance to win.

But the outside line can't lose too much, the offensive end must at least be able to pass the ball in, the defensive end must at least be able to limit Jordan's offensive efficiency, and there should be no too many turnovers. "

When Zhang Lili and Su Qun thought about the current lineup of the Suns, they kept shaking their heads.

Last season, there were Glider and Thunder, both of whom could hold the ball and help the Lightning to share the pressure, making it impossible for the Bulls' strong outside defense to completely lock the Suns outside. But this season, Lightning alone can hold the ball, and it has not been completely locked by Jordan and Pippen?

On October 31st, Yu Feihong flew to Phoenix and had a small gathering.

"Old K, when will your medicated diet be ready?" In the evening, after the two had tossed about, Yu Feihong asked.

"Wuguan has already placed an order with a domestic company, and it should be on the way now, and it should be here soon."

"The effect of medicinal diet can really make you live forever?" Yu Feihong touched his small face and asked.

Lao Wang laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as you eat it every day, you will be as supple as today in 20 years."

Yu Feihong pretended to be disdainful and said: "My mother is over 40, and she looks like she is in her early thirties, and the effect of your medicinal diet seems to be no more than that."

Old Wang asked anxiously, "Is there no difference between early thirties and early twenties?"

"A little bit." Yu Feihong said with a grin.

She suddenly asked again: "Are you really going to sell one for ten thousand dollars? Then there will be fewer people who can afford it."

"Of course few people can afford luxury goods. This is the top luxury item for me. Besides, if I have ten kinds of medicinal food, I will only sell one for one thousand dollars. Unfortunately, if I only have one, then I will sell it for ten thousand dollars, or I will lose money." Old Wang said helplessly.

"What logic?"

Yu Feihong is also helpless, sometimes it is really difficult for her to understand Wang Tiejun's unique thinking.

Lao Wang thought about it, and it was indeed a bit expensive, so why not make it cheaper?Anyway, he doesn't know how to do business, so he came up with this price all at once, and he asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

Yu Feihong thought for a while and said, "After taking the medicinal diet, I feel that the conditioning effect on the body is somewhat obvious, and it can't be too low. How about three thousand dollars?"

"That's three thousand dollars."

Wang Tiejun didn't think about it, and agreed directly. Anyway, [-] and [-] are huge profits.

"Is the famous official of medicinal food ready?" Yu Feihong asked.

"After thinking about it, it's called Immortality and Longevity Boy Chicken." Old Wang nodded.

When Yu Feihong was in a daze, how about the boy duck who lived forever and prolonged his life?
"Don't you sell it in China? Fengshen Street has so many people, you can open one." She asked.

Lao Wang said: "There is too little of a kind of medicinal diet, and I certainly can't make it into a luxury in China, so I am too lazy to do it for the time being."

"Don't you open a branch of the K Martial Art Museum in China?"

"I have no plans for the time being. If Brother Tielong and the others want to open it, they can. They decide. My main energy will not be on the martial arts hall." He said.

"By the way, did Wuxing Company get any business?" He asked again.

"I contacted a film crew, with an investment of 4000 million U.S. dollars, and the contract has almost been signed. Don't mention it, the income of martial arts in Hollywood is quite good. This time, I can get a contract of 120 million dollars. The contract given by technical work is much higher than that in China and Xiangcheng. No wonder Cheng Long wants to start a martial arts company in Hollywood." Yu Feihong said.

"Hollywood doesn't have such talents at all, and your martial arts company has a lot of money." Old Wang praised.

On November 95, 11, the Suns' new season media day, all Suns players attended the media conference in suits and shoes.

Because the attention of the Suns is very high now, not even weaker than the Bulls, so this media day, TNT TV broadcasted the questioning session live.

"Old K, are you satisfied with the Suns' lineup?" A reporter asked.

"Of course I am satisfied. It is already very good to be able to achieve the current lineup during the reconstruction. We have introduced veterans and good rookies. We have not only increased our potential, but also strengthened our immediate combat capabilities. While rebuilding, we have maintained the same impact on the finals as last season. This is the best choice." Lao Wang said honestly.

"Do you think the chances of the Suns winning the championship in the new season are the same as predicted by TNT and ESPN?" A reporter asked.

"The Mosaic team will be our strongest competitor in the West. The Big Three have a strong lineup, but we will not admit defeat easily. We will attack them and try our best." Lao Wang said.

"Old K, do you think the Big Three of the Mosaic team belong to the group of superstars?" the next reporter asked.

Lao Wang smiled and said: "From the state of mind, Dameng should still be at his peak, he is really surprising.

Barkley and Drexler have been my teammates, I know them well, I think they will also maintain the state at the end of the peak, all three of them still have the strength of superstars..."

At this moment, the reporter suddenly said first: "So, do you think they formed a group at their peak?"

Lao Wang laughed twice and said: "Yes, I despise them, these three guys are too shameful."
