NBA backer king

Chapter 548 Is He Tired Too?
After Jordan scored a goal, it was the Lakers' turn to attack. He began to enter the basket to get the ball, and to use the strongest offensive to defeat the opponent.

In the direct contest between muscles at the basket, Lao Wang, with his more abundant physical fitness and the strongest strength, suppressed O'Neal, stuck him behind him, and got his position at the basket.

The center took a strong position at the basket, and the outside line was already prepared. Kobe saw the timing, and under a sudden jump pass, he threw the ball in with both hands from Charlie Ward's head.

Oakley, who was ready to double-team the basket at any time, was on the right waist in the paint, and immediately half-turned and rushed down, but the ball passed very quickly, and he failed to complete the early double-team.

"Snapped!"

With O'Neal's turbulent defensive power behind him and the sound of heavy panting, Pharaoh grabbed the ball with one hand. In the next moment, he leaned over to dribble with both hands. At the same time, he took the opportunity to half-turn to the right to avoid Oakley's double-teaming action.

"Oh!"

Under the back arch of a ferocious iron mountain, O'Neill, who was not physically fit, let out a muffled grunt, his upper body leaned back sharply, and he fell down with a bang.

Knocking over O'Neal, Pharaoh glanced at Oakley indifferently, and then burst into shape, smashing the ball with both hands towards the basket.

You're done, so what do I do?Oakley's heart skipped a beat, this damned old K is really too cruel!

"boom!"

The next moment, the basket slammed.

"This is the physical advantage of old K. He played 7 minutes more than O'Neal, but now he has more physical energy than O'Neal. O'Neal is no longer good, but he is still like a tiger." Barkley roared excitedly.

"This is the scariest thing about Old K. You can stop him in the first three quarters, but you can't stop him in the fourth quarter." Bill Walton shook his head with emotion.

"The last quarter is the time for old K to satiate his opponent." Kenny Smith said excitedly.

In the 10th minute of the game, under the ferocious attack of Lao Wang's basket, O'Neal finally couldn't hold on, couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and was forced to make consecutive fouls and ended up with six fouls.

At this time, the Lakers had already led by 10 points, and the Knicks called a timeout in advance.

On the field, Jordan put his hands on his knees, sweat dripping down in a line, and he didn't leave the field immediately. He was really exhausted and wanted to take a breath first.

Although he doesn't fight against old K, his physical consumption is no less than that of O'Neill. So far, he has scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. At his age, it is already a miracle.

No matter how well his body was maintained, at this moment, he couldn't hold on any longer.

But what made him even more unable to persevere was his psychology.

With O'Neal off the field, the balance of the game has been seriously tilted to the Lakers, which made him extremely disappointed.

In the previous three finals with old K, they all lacked strong teammates inside, so one lost, two lost and three lost, bah, shit, one lost, two lost and three lost.

This time, he has the most powerful inside teammate, but old K's physical fitness is so strong that he and O'Neal are exhausted, but old K is still like a tireless cow. This time, why can't he see a chance to win?

It was this hopeless psychology that hit him hard.

When he was young, no matter how strong the bad boy army was, he never gave up hope of winning the championship, because he was young enough, and the bad boy army was getting old.

But now, he is the one who is getting old, and the feeling of not being able to see hope makes him feel a great sense of frustration. This feeling makes him extremely disgusted.

At this time, there was continuous panting sound from his side, he bent over and turned his head to look, it was Old K who was going off the stage.

Old K, like him, was panting constantly, and the sweat from his body was constantly flowing down.

"He's tired too."

Turning his head, Jordan's eyes lit up, and his strong psychological quality instantly healed his psychological blow.

He felt that he saw hope, and old K was also very tired, so he must be clenching his teeth and persevering. As long as he and O'Neill can carry on until the moment when old K's physical fitness collapses, it is an opportunity.

Old K played the whole game from the second round, and his physical consumption far exceeded that of him and O'Neill. He felt that his idea was right, and he persisted. As long as he persisted, he would definitely win.

But just as he was about to get up and leave the field, he suddenly remembered that O'Neill had just been sent off. This made him have the urge to scold his mother.

Not long after, the G3 game of the finals ended. The Lakers won the away game and won the second victory in the series, leading the Knicks by a big score of [-] to [-].

After the game, Bill Walton said: "The next G4G5 game is also the home of the Knicks. The G4 game is a life-and-death battle for the Knicks. They cannot lose. If they lose, the Lakers will get the match point. This series is basically a foregone conclusion."

Kenny Smith said: "The Knicks lose the G4 game again, so for Michael Jordan, he will face a dismal situation of losing one, losing two, losing three and losing four."

Barkley said with emotion: "Six years ago, I never would have imagined that Michael would face this situation. At that time, I didn't have a single championship, no MVP and FMVP, but he was already full of honors, completed two consecutive championships, and was attacking the dynasty of three consecutive championships. But I didn't expect that now he will..."

Having said that, he sighed with emotion and didn't say any more.

Kenny Smith asked: "Charles, do you think the Knicks have any hope of getting back?"

Barkley nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise, how did they win the last game? The Lakers won today because of their physical fitness. More precisely, they won because of old K's physical fitness. He completely dragged down O'Neal at the final juncture of the game.

So if the Knicks can distribute O'Neal's physical fitness more reasonably, including Michael's physical fitness, I think the Knicks have a greater chance of winning.

In fact, in terms of the main lineup, the combination of O'Neal and Michael is more threatening than the old K and Richmond. They can really reach the level of 1+1>2, but the old K can't do it.

When the Knicks' main lineup is on the court, they have a chance to occupy a certain advantage, but once it enters the substitution time, the Lakers' advantage will be reflected. "

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The Lakers are also lucky. Chris Mullin rejected Jordan and chose Old K, and Rick Fox actually signed a low-paying contract with the Lakers for the sake of Hollywood.

Haha, if the Lakers didn't have Fox and Mullin, then today's championship must belong to the Knicks. "

Bill Walton said with a smile: "So sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength."

央视直播席上，粟群拿着数据统计表念道：“老K打满全场，38分18篮板9助攻3抢断5盖帽4失误5犯规的数据。可惜啊，最后几分钟居然没有得到一次助攻。”

"The data is already pretty strong."

Zhang Lili said: "Today the Lakers played quite unitedly, the team had a total of 27 assists, while the Knicks only had 19.

Tiejun's status in the low post today is not the end of the offense, but the starting point of the offense. He dominated the Lakers' offense. "

Su Qun nodded and said, "In addition to K, the Lakers also had three players who scored in double figures. Kobe had 18 points, Richmond had 12 points, and Fox had 16 points. Mullin, Price, Hill, and Fortson all scored more than 5 points. The eight-man rotation played fairly evenly, and everyone could score. For the Knicks, only Jordan and O'Neal scored in double figures, which is very uneven."

Zhang Lili said: "Knicks, Joe Shark's cooperation is really good, but the physical fitness of the two is also limited, so they can't be overly relied on. After so many shots are concentrated on the two of them, once their physical fitness collapses and the quality of offense and defense drops, the Knicks will collapse directly."

Su Qun said with a smile: "Today the Lakers not only have good offensive quality, but also grabbed good rebounds, 7 more than the Knicks."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "So when Joe and Shark scored 68 points, the Lakers still relied on the accumulation of various advantages to hold the first three quarters, and then won the game in one fell swoop in the final quarter.

It seems that it is not easy and the game is very anxious, but in fact, I think the Lakers played quite steadily, knowing where their advantages are, and finally relying on them to win. "

At the scene, Lao Wang accepted the interview, and then asked Yu Feihong and Dabao to go back to the hotel first, and then went back to the locker room with his teammates after seeing them off.

Jordan's guess was right. He is very tired now. Even with a physical fitness level of 105, he is not strong. From the second round of the series to the present, his physical reserves have been exhausted. He is just persevering.

Five positions, other positions have very good rotation players, and even the main substitutes are almost the same, but only his position, only marginal people with poor strength as substitutes, this is the reason why he has to play the whole game after entering the second round.

It's not that the Lakers are unwilling to find a good substitute for him. One is that they can't squeeze out space. The meat shield is now several million a year, and the other is that they can't find it at all. Which team is willing to release a good center now?

From a certain point of view, the six championship-level teams have become the public enemies of the management of other teams in the league, and try to avoid trading with them.

It is because these six teams can bring a lot of benefits to the league, that is, to other weak teams, so they did not attack them in groups.

Almost all of the Lakers' reinforcements during the offseason came from the free market. Fox, Chris Mullin, Mark Price, etc. are all there. Only Richmond was traded in, but he paid a Peja, The Lakers are also heartbroken.

Fortunately, G3 has already been played in the finals, almost half of it. With his remaining physical reserves, it should not be a big problem to persist for a few more games.

The locker room of the home team, losing the first home game, was a blow to the morale of the Knicks. It seemed very dull and no one spoke.

In the bathroom, both Jordan and O'Neill were soaking in medicinal tubs. Phil Jackson had just finished summarizing, so he came in to communicate with the two.

Jordan raised the issue of physical fitness. He believed that this was the most critical reason for the Knicks to lose two games, and the inertia collapsed in the final quarter.

He said: "Phil, in the first three finals, Old K's physical fitness was definitely not that strong. Obviously, his physical fitness reached its peak this season. I think this season has reached his peak state in terms of technology and physical condition. Physical fitness is a new problem we have to face."

Phil Jackson nodded and said: "Old K played against Postman and Sabonis in the second round, and Duncan and Dameng in the Western Conference Finals. All of them were full-court, and he contributed in all directions, and his physical energy must be very high. Now he is facing Shaq, and he still plays full-court. His physical fitness is really a miracle, and he can definitely participate in the triathlon."

The two sighed at the same time, it was really bad luck. From the Bulls to the Knicks, they met the stronger old K.

Jordan thought for a while and said: "But I think Old K's physical fitness should be almost at the limit. He just finished the game and he can't walk anymore, so we should persevere and not be intimidated by him. I think whoever persists to the end will have a chance to win the final victory."

There was a splash of water, O'Neill moved in the huge bucket, and said: "I think old K relies on this thing to improve his physical fitness. The formula of the medicinal bath is his, and he has the longest time of medicinal bath. Perhaps, he has hidden it. This guy is very cunning."

Jordan nodded and said: "The effect of the medicated bath is certain, not only we are using it, so many stars in Hollywood are also using it, and so many billionaires in New York and Los Angeles are also using it, it is impossible for them to accept it if it has no effect.

I have asked some users, and I am referring to ordinary people, not athletes, that after using the medicated bath for a few months, their physical fitness has improved significantly, and the effect is better than ours. "

Phil Jackson said: "What we have to face now is how to solve the problem that our physical fitness cannot keep up with old K. What do you think?
If this problem cannot be solved, when old K exerts his strength in the final quarter, our problem of collapse in the final quarter is likely to reappear. "

Jordan has been thinking about this issue since the game, and said after hearing the words: "We can only rely on more rotations to allow the main players to have more rest time.

In the rotation, Phil, we have to carry it, and that requires you to use tactics to solve the problem. "

Phil Jackson wanted to scratch his head. Old K played the whole court. He was on the court, and our main players had to take turns. How can I use tactics to solve the problem of Old K?If it was that easy, would we still be in the Knicks?
At this time O'Neill said: "I think if I continue to use medicinal baths, there should be room for improvement in my physical fitness. After all, I am still very young, only 26 years old."

"Old K is only 25 years old." Jordan reminded angrily.

O'Neill argued: "But he used the medicinal bath earlier than me. The human body has limits. Maybe his physical fitness has reached the limit, but I haven't."

When he said this, Jordan and Phil Jackson also thought there was some truth, but they also understood that far away water could not save near fire, so the current problem still needs to be solved.

After thinking about it, Phil Jackson said: "In the first three games, Dale has not activated this point, and we have not used his three-pointers. If his ability is activated, his three-pointers can help us reduce a lot of pressure. Michael, Shaq, you should pay attention to the points given to him."

Jordan shook his head and said, "The Lakers watch him very closely, and there are no open opportunities. Old K always defends Shaq alone, and the strength of double-teaming me is actually not strong, especially the people guarding Dale rarely participate in double-teaming me."

Dale Ellis was taking a shower in the bathroom, and said at this time: "The Lakers are very tight on my defense. No matter who defends me, they will not give me a wide open. Even if they leave, they will quickly return to defense."

Phil Jackson didn't look back at Ellis, because he would see a large black and white ass when he looked back, and he said, "So Dale, we're going to formulate some tactics for you to activate your shooting ability.

We need your score, your score can save Michael and O'Neal a lot of physical energy, and at the same time keep the Lakers' defensive pressure from focusing on them. "

On the morning of the [-]th, in the hotel room, the curtains were drawn and it looked very dark. Lao Wang opened his eyes and felt it. After a few hours of sleep, his body, which was empty after the game last night, had recovered a lot.

But obviously, the degree of recovery is not as good as during the regular season, which means that his physical reserves are not as good as before.

"It's almost nine o'clock?"

Rubbing his eyes, he reached out and grabbed the watch on the bedside table, looked at the time and put it down again, yawning, he got up and went to the window and opened the curtains, the room was brightened immediately.

Brother Fei and Dabao are in another room. The team requires abstinence during the finals. Players are not allowed to live with their wives and girlfriends.

After taking a shower, he left the room and went to Brother Fei.

Dabao also got up, Brother Fei ordered breakfast, and the mother and son were eating in the room.

"father!"

Dabao shouted happily.

"good!"

Old Wang was also hungry. Seeing that there were three slices of bread on Dabao's plate, he took one and ate it. Dabao looked at him and said nothing. When he went to get the second piece, the little guy quit.

"Mine, Dabao's."

Dabao protected the plate with one hand, pointed at the landline next to him with the other and shouted: "Dad is calling."

He just saw that after his mother called, someone delivered food, so he asked Lao Wang to call too.

"Little thing, do you know how to protect food?"

Brother Fei laughed and asked Lao Wang if he would like to order him breakfast, Lao Wang shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go to the restaurant to eat."

When he got up to leave, he suddenly grabbed a piece of bread from Dabao's plate. Dabao curled his mouth and looked at his father who was walking away with grievances.
