NBA backer king

Chapter 495 The Knicks strike!
The next day, November 11st, the media commented on the performance of the six first-tier teams last night.

The Knicks, Lakers, and Trail Blazers were praised by the media, while the Pacers, Jazz, and Celtics who lost the game became the targets of ridicule and ridicule by the media.

ESPN gave its own professional evaluation and timely adjusted the predictions of the winning probability of the six strong teams.

"Jordan partnered with Shaquille O'Neal, and the internal and external dual-core teamed up to achieve the dominance of the league. The Knicks will be the most competitive championship-level team in the league. The probability of winning the championship has increased from 19% to 20%. As a failed team, the Celtics' championship probability has been adjusted from 14% to 13%."

"The rebuilt Lakers defeated the Jazz at home with difficulty. The old K is worthy of being No.1 in the current game. He played a different offensive style from last season. He scored 51 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game with a super performance. He carried the Lakers alone and defeated the mighty Jazz.

In particular, his low-post pace is simply an alternative dream, full of dexterity and ferocity at the same time, he is like a combination of a jaguar and a tiger.

The outer core Richmond did not perform well, and he needs to work harder, otherwise he will not be able to bear the responsibility of the Lakers' outer core.

In view of Richmond's performance, if the Lakers meet the Knicks, it will be difficult for the Lakers to face the combination of Jordan and O'Neal. Therefore, the Lakers' championship probability has been adjusted from 18% to 17%.

The Jazz still can't limit the old K, which is the most important reason for their failure.The Jazz couldn't beat the rebuilt Lakers, and the probability of winning the championship was adjusted from 17% to 16%. "

"The performance of the Blazers is impressive. Dameng is worthy of being a super center, but the biggest surprise of the Blazers is Tim Duncan, a big guy who made half of the league doomed, but let the Lakers and the Suns be abandoned.

If his performance is not a flash in the pan, then he will be a rare debut and peak super No. [-] pick. He is qualified to be the cornerstone of any team, even the Lakers.

Whether the Suns and the Lakers will regret it, only they know, but the combination of Duncan and Dameng will definitely make the Blazers the strongest championship contender this season, and even their competitiveness is stronger than the Lakers.

Because the Blazers' chances of winning the championship were adjusted from 15% to 18%, and the Pacers' chances were adjusted from 16% to 15%.

The current six first-tier teams' chances of winning are predicted to be 20% for the Knicks, 18% for the Trail Blazers, 17% for the Lakers, 16% for the Jazz, 15% for the Pacers, 13% for the Celtics, and 1% for the rest of the teams combined. "

"ESPN's action is still fast, but it is not very professional."

At the breakfast table, Lao Wang watched the TV and complained: "Our Lakers have just been running in, and we won the Jazz, and they dropped by one percentage point. What kind of bullshit prediction is this? There is no professionalism at all."

"Ding ding..."

Dabao vigorously tapped the bowl in front of him with the spoon. The little guy had a lot of strength. He only hit three times, and the bowl was knocked over, and the whole bowl of meat porridge was poured onto the table.

"oops!"

Yu Feihong handed over Dabao's spoon and went to fill another bowl.

"Don't waste it, then let him eat."

Lao Wang took the bowl and spoon, put the porridge back into the bowl with a few strokes, put it in front of Dabao, slammed the table and said intimidatingly: "Dabao, eat! If you don't eat, you will be hungry. No one will give it to you. You can eat it after the next meal."

Dabao twitched his small mouth, looked at his mother, then at his grandparents, but no one helped him, so he calmed down, picked up a spoon and started eating the porridge.

The Lakers' schedule at the beginning is quite easy. After the opening game, the second game will be played away to the Kings on November 11th. However, the team is eager to run in, so there is no holiday for the next two days, and training is arranged every day.

Lao Wang used his free time to teach Danny Fortson some inside skills, such as how to block, how to defend, etc. This stupid fat man has great potential and will be his important helper in the future.

Judging from the training and the first game, this little fat man is not greedy for merit, cherishes every attack, and will not take random risks. This makes his offensive efficiency very high, and he is good at rebounding, especially grabbing offensive rebounds.

"Danny, you haven't joined K martial arts yet, have you?"

During the rest time, he began to recommend the VIP program of K Martial Arts Hall, saying: "Your style of play is very rough, and the confrontation intensity is very high. Pay attention to injuries. Medicinal oil massage can help you strengthen your ability to resist injuries, and medicinal baths can increase your physical fitness. Don't miss it. Once you get injured, you will regret it."

Danny Fortson asked with a simple and honest face: "Boss, I will definitely join, but I don't know how much it will cost?"

He signed a five-year contract with a total of 1400 million U.S. dollars, an average of less than 300 million a year, and only 129 million in the first year. After deducting taxes and pensions, he can have 10,000+ left over for his family. The money he has left is actually not much, and he gets about 2 a week.

"Danny, I don't tell ordinary people, but now I'm quietly telling you that the martial arts gym will be restructured, and the fee for joining V will soon increase. Now it's the most cost-effective to join V, only [-] a year. You pay more fees for a few years at a time. If you pay more, you will earn more." Old Wang said in a low voice.

"oh oh!"

Danny Fortson nodded again and again.

Lao Wang nodded in satisfaction, the younger brother who can make him money is the good younger brother.

And this little boy has a good attitude, better than Kobe and Kidd's careerists. Kidd's boy didn't let him earn a dime. Although Kobe spends a lot, he always wants to grab power.

"Boss..."

At this time, Fox ran over, sat down beside Lao Wang, and asked with a smile: "When will the martial arts hall hold a party?"

"Rick, is that why you want to be a movie star?" Old Wang asked.

"That's my dream." Fox said excitedly.

"Why don't you learn from Larry Bird, his Miami Affair is pretty good, you can also make that kind of movie." Lao Wang joked.

"Haha..." There were bursts of laughter in the training hall.

However, Fox didn't seem to be angry, but instead looked thoughtful.

"You don't really want to make adult movies, do you?" Old Wang asked in surprise.

Fox shrugged: "I'm not disgusted, it's a legitimate profession."

Lao Wang and the others were stunned, and could only give Fox a thumbs up, because of his obsession with movies, they felt that Fox would definitely succeed in the future.

At this time, a reporter from the New York Sports News interviewed Jerry West by phone.

"Mr. West, what do you think of Tim Duncan's performance last night?" the reporter asked.

"He's great, yes, played an amazing performance, showed top-level offensive and defensive capabilities, and I hope he can continue." West said.

"Do you think he can continue to perform like that?" the reporter asked again.

"It's hard to say, but his character is very steady, and his playing style is very simple. I think he can do it." West said cautiously.

"So do you regret using him as a bargaining chip?" The reporter asked.

"No, of course I don't regret it."

West said unequivocally: "Old K is our present and future. His performance last night was even greater. He is the No. 1 active player, the 24-year-old No. 1 active player, and he is worth everything we pay."

He will not be fooled by the reporter, if his attitude wavers and he says something he regrets, coupled with the reporter's exaggerated description, it will be bad if he is seen by old K.

At noon on the 3rd, the Lakers went to Sacramento.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Da Zhi drove to the hotel, picked up Lao Wang, and the two went to the reserved restaurant for dinner.

"Da Zhi, I have a chance to play tonight and perform better." Lao Wang explained on the table.

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to play." Dazhi said with some worry.

"There is no need to worry, you are only 20 years old, and your career has just begun." Lao Wang said.

"I know." Dazhi nodded.

Lao Wang analyzed: "We took Richmond away from the Kings. You guys don't have much strength this season, especially the inside line. Once you have an opportunity, you have to seize it. A good performance can put you in the head coach's sight."

"Hmm." Dazhi nodded repeatedly.

For the past three years, he has been training in accordance with the training methods provided by Wang Tiejun to the national team. His explosive power, basic strength, confrontation ability, and sprint speed have all improved compared to before, and his shooting stability has also increased a little. Moreover, his skills are very comprehensive and his style of play is full of aura, so he still has confidence. What is missing now is the opportunity.

On the night of the 4th, the game between the two teams began.

When Richmond returned to his old club, he had some problems with his mentality. In addition, he hadn't adjusted well between assisting Lao Wang's style of play and his own-oriented style of play, so he played inaccurately. He only made 15 of 5 shots, 6 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. He only scored 14 points.

As the first backup on the guard line, Kobe performed well in his first show and had the support of Lao Wang, so Harris gave him a lot of playing time. First, he replaced Mark Price as a point guard, and then replaced Richmond as a shooting guard. He played a total of 30 minutes.

Today, his style of play is still mainly relying on play. After getting the space to get rid of the defender, he rushes in, shoots or passes, 10 of 6 shots and 6 of 5 free throws. While scoring 17 points, he also sent 5 assists, 4 of which were given to Lao Wang.

Lao Wang scored 44 points, grabbed 21 rebounds, and sent 7 big caps, dominated both offense and defense, and led the team to blow up the Kings.

As far as this game got a chance to play, but only played in the last garbage time, played 6 minutes, made 2 of 1 shots, scored 2 points and 1 rebound, and this was also his debut.

"Come on, Dazhi, I played for the first time in 92, and I also scored two points and one board, just like you." After the game, Pharaoh encouraged.

"In the team, you must take the initiative to talk to your teammates and communicate with the coaching staff. This is very important to you." Before leaving, he urged again.

"Brother Tiejun, don't worry, I will do it." Dazhi nodded.

"Ah."

Lao Wang nodded and left the court with his teammates.

After playing this away game, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles on the [-]th of the second day, and the next game was on the [-]th, at home against the Knicks.

This is a game that is watched by the entire league and the United States. The signature stars of the two leagues have changed teams. Everyone is looking forward to this game.

There is too much attention, and many media and stars have predicted this game.

On the morning of the [-]th, the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas, the current Raptors executive vice chairman, said to the media: "In this game, I am optimistic that the Lakers will beat the Knicks.

First, because the Knicks' opening schedule is not as easy as that of the Lakers, the Lakers only played two games before the Knicks, and the Knicks have played three games, and they will play the Suns on the [-]th.

Second, facing old K, Michael not only has no psychological advantage, but also has 2 wins and 12 losses in the three finals. Can he overcome the huge psychological shadow after one loss, two losses and three losses? "

At noon this day, as a friend of Wang Tiejun and Jordan, Barkley, who mixed together in Houston and was in charge of selling tickets, also accepted an interview with the media. Of course, he accepted an interview with TNT, his future club.

He said: "Bulls, no, Knicks, yes, Knicks, the Knicks started very well, defeated the Celtics at the same level, then defeated the Hornets, Pistons, won three consecutive victories, and tomorrow they will play against the Suns, and then they will play back to back against the Lakers.

Well, haha, I don’t know if Michael will have a psychological shadow. One is old K’s original team and the other is old K’s current team. I wish Michael a good performance and O’Neal will not be blown away by old K, haha!
Well, I just saw the assassin's interview, and I think he is right, the Bulls, no, the Knicks will have some physical disadvantages, especially O'Neal, after back-to-backs, how much physical strength does he have to compete with the old K? "

At noon that day, the Jazz announced that they had reached a contract with Rodman, the big bug. Rodman joined the Jazz with an annual salary of 120 million and only signed for one year.

Da Chong also had no choice, his reputation was bad, no team wanted him, and he didn't dare to go to the Lakers who wanted him, and now he didn't want to really retire, so he had to play for a year first.

This news is bad news for the other five first-tier teams.

Jordan was a little angry. He also recruited the big bug. The Knicks gave him a two-year contract of 290 million.

Fortunately, Oakley's rebounding is also good, he is not too disappointed.

This news is not good news for the Lakers. The Jazz has a big bug and their rebounding ability has been enhanced, and the Lakers will lose another advantage.

……

At three o'clock this afternoon, the Knicks arrived in Phoenix.

When the plane was still in the sky, Jordan, who was sitting in the porthole, looked at the city below and felt very emotional. He left Chicago, and Old K also left the city.

The Knicks had no plans to hold a press conference at the hotel, so they spoke to the media at the airport.

"Michael, Isaiah Thomas thinks that facing the old K, you can't overcome the psychological shadow of losing one, losing, losing, and losing three, plus the physical disadvantage of back-to-back games, you will have a defeat in Los Angeles. Do you think he is right?" A reporter from the Phoenix Sports News asked.

"Damn one loss, two losses and three losses! Damn smiling assassin!"

The veins on Jordan's forehead twitched. He stared at the reporter sharply and said, "Do the Suns still have the money to piss me off?"

The reporter instantly felt the tremendous oppression. Thinking that Old K was no longer in the Suns, he felt sad, but he was unwilling to be outdone and said: "Michael, you should tell Old K this. Those who angered you will end badly, but those who angered him will end badly, including you. I hope you can have a good harvest from him the day after tomorrow."

"you?"

Jordan was furious at what the reporter said.

On the night of the 44th, the Knicks blasted the Suns. Jordan scored 57 points crazily, shooting [-]% from the field. This efficiency is higher than that of top centers. It is difficult for a super center like Dameng to achieve this efficiency.

However, O'Neal's playing time was controlled, he only played 24 minutes, and he didn't exert much effort, only scoring 18 points and 6 rebounds.

Obviously, although it was a back-to-back game, the Knicks didn't want to lose to the Lakers, so they deliberately let O'Neal play less time.
