Chapter 592 Old K, Because of You, I May Die Suddenly Anytime Now
At 08:30, the game begins.

Pharaoh doesn't jump the ball now, Stoudemire is good at jumping, let him jump the ball.

However, Chandler's height and wingspan had the advantage, and he took the ball away first, and the Bulls attacked.

The Bulls don't have a good point guard in this lineup, and McGrady has the main possession of the ball. He advances beyond the three-point line on the left wing, and Marion plays against him.

"Bang bang..."

With his left elbow stuck in place against Marion, McGrady suddenly started, took a step forward, and forced the defender.

"So fast!"

Surprised, Marion quickly turned around and pursued.

"McGrady's first step belongs to the historical level, fast, and big strides." Barkley praised.

Seeing that McGrady was coming towards the paint area, Lao Wang immediately took a step up and blocked the left waist of the paint area.

McGrady's eyes narrowed. Old K has always been a person who is strong in offense and weak in defense, but this does not mean that his defense is weak, but because his offense is too strong, his defense seems weak. In fact, his defense is definitely at the top level of the league.

But in an instant, everything in his eyes turned into excitement. As one of the top four shooting guards in the league, it is an honor to be able to challenge the No.1 in history and the No.1 old K in active service. Success will be a qualification and an honor.

The next moment, he suddenly changed direction upwards, bypassing old K, and then accelerated with all his strength, entering the paint area from the left elbow.

"Good guy!"

Lao Wang couldn't help but praise in his heart, and immediately turned around halfway, leaning against McGrady with his chest, and while squeezing McGrady forward, he moved laterally towards the basket. At this time, Chandler, who he was guarding, had already entered the basket.

"What a great power!"

Medica's left elbow felt a huge force on his upper body. In an instant, his body felt like he was flying, and he had no chance of dunking at the basket. At this time, the ball was pulled up from the floor.

Lao Wang had already been mentally prepared. How could McGrady's chicken-like body be able to resist his squeeze?So McGrady will definitely make a shot immediately, otherwise he can only be forced out of the paint by him.

"Snapped!"

Under the block, the ball will fly.

"The defense is really strong!" McGrady, who was hated, sighed.

"rebound!"

When the ball flew into the sky, a bunch of people below were ready to grab the rebound, Chandler, Stoudemire, Marshall, McGrady, Marion and so on.

"mine!"

The ball he picked had the clearest landing point, and Pharaoh got stuck first, occupied the most favorable position, and caught the ball.

Outside, Nash has already turned around and is about to go down. His speed surpassed Crawford, but the fast break failed. After Lao Wang grabbed the ball, he was surrounded by Chandler and Marshall, and he had no chance to make a quick pass.

The Suns attacked, Lao Wang came to the frontcourt, did not drop the low post, but set a pick and roll for Nash in the high post.

Now the pick-and-roll tactics between him and Nash and Stoudemire and Nash have become one of the regular season tactics of the Suns. Both of them can shoot mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll, or go down to attack the basket.

Nash used the wall to break through, the Bulls did not dare to switch defenses, the height of the dislocation was too high, Lao Wang directly squeezed Chandler and went down, the former rushed to the basket and pulled to the left, then turned and threw the ball.

"boom!"

Lao Wang caught the ball with one hand, took advantage of the situation and smashed it, scoring a goal easily.

Zhang Lili laughed loudly and said: "Chandler is not comparable to Tie Jun in terms of tonnage or strength. Tie Jun faces such an opponent, he doesn't have to go around, he just squeezes away."

Su Qun said with a smile: "Old K's high-post pick-and-roll tactic is really too threatening. If the opponent doesn't switch defenses, he can use his mobile advantage to bypass the defender and run down, or just squeeze the opponent away. If he switches defenses, his height has too much of a dislocation advantage. Just look at his free throw percentage for the hook at the free throw line."

Zhang Lili said: "But now Stoudemire and Nash play more pick-and-roll tactics on the flanks. Tiejun attracts defenses and grabs offensive rebounds in the low post, and gives up some shots to young people like Stoudemire and the others."

Su Qun said: "Old K was born in June of 73, he is almost 30 years old, and he is a heavy center forward, so he really should stop playing, which can prolong his professional life.

The current group of young people in the Suns are more fortunate than Kidd and the others. If it was back then, they would have been severely suppressed. "

The Bulls attacked, or made a breakthrough, and they were not afraid of Tracy McGrady's cap just now. The Bulls' youth army still hoped to get more attention by making outstanding performances on Old K through continuous impact.

It can be said that No.1 in active service and No.1 in history has become a stepping stone for young players. If they can perform on the old K, they may even become famous with one goal.

"Snapped!"

It was another big cap, and it was a bloody volleyball cap. Lao Wang gave it to Jamal Crawford, who was rushing in, and fanned the ball directly out of the court. Crawford, who was not strong enough to fight, was even beaten He fell on the floor and his teeth cracked.

"boom!"

Enthusiastic cheers erupted throughout the American West Arena.

"Young people, work hard, you are the sun at one or two o'clock in the morning, and the future is destined to be yours." Lao Wang looked down at Crawford at his feet, and encouraged him sincerely as an old senior.

"Thank you for your encouragement, old K, I will work hard." Crawford got up and thanked enduring the pain.

If Kobe was here, he would say to him: "Silly hat, there is no sun at one or two o'clock in the morning, and your future is dark."

The Bulls attack again.

McGrady took over the banner of the breakthrough, continued to attack the old K, and broke through Marion again, holding the ball to the paint area.

Being stepped by McGrady one after another, Marion wanted to scratch him very much.

This time, Chandler didn't move to the basket, but took a step sideways. He screened McGrady and blocked Marion who was chasing down.

"Squeak..."

Lao Wang moved sideways and blocked McGrady's breakthrough path. The latter turned and changed directions continuously, forcing him to retreat continuously and retreat to the basket.

At this time, McGrady dribbled the ball and turned down again. After avoiding the front of Lao Wang, his figure exploded, and he was about to dunk under the backboard.

Lao Wang dealt with it very calmly. He was able to defend a lot of Jordan's breakthroughs. Now his mobility is better than before and his defensive ability is stronger. Facing the breakthroughs of McGrady and other young people, he will use defense to teach these boys a lesson.

When McGrady finally turned down, he immediately made a prediction that McGrady was going to make a shot, because if he didn't make a shot at this time, he would be double-teamed under the basket, so he immediately made preparations to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

Quickly moved half a step down, jumped almost at the same time as McGrady, and pressed his big hand accurately on the basketball, directly sealing McGrady's dunk.

The ball jumped up, and the two jumped again after landing. Lao Wang got the ball by virtue of his height. McGrady hit Lao Wang in the air, landed unstable, staggered and fell to the ground directly.

The Suns played a fast break. Lao Wang first passed to Nash, and Nash made a second pass to Marion. The latter made a dunk when he went to the basket.

"Three caps at the start, old K's defense is going to explode today!" Su Qun said excitedly.

"Since the rookie season, for so many years, every time Tiejun has exploded on the defensive end, his team has almost never lost." Zhang Lili laughed.

Su Qun said with a smile: "This season, Old K will not compete for the scoring title or MVP, but this DPOY should belong to him."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Tiejun has two DPOYs. If he gets another one this year, it will be three. Adding 5 first-team defenses and 1 second-team defense, he should be regarded as one of the most powerful defensive centers in the history of the league."

"Snapped!"

The two fell silent, Lao Wang intercepted McGrady's pass to Chandler, and the Suns played a fast break again.

"Old K's defense is really going to explode today." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said with a smile: "Stoudemire and Joe Johnson need to cultivate some shots. Old K will give up some shots to his teammates. He can only work harder on defense, otherwise he will have nothing to do on the court! He can't just hang around and do nothing, right?"

"Haha..." Kenny Smith laughed.

In the 7th minute of the third quarter, at 45:80, the Suns had already led by 35 points at home, and the Bulls called a timeout.

Barkley said: "The Bulls only scored 15 points in the first quarter, 20 points in the second quarter, and scored 10 points in the third quarter. The offense has a big problem. The reason, of course, is the old K's defense."

Speaking of this, he picked up a statistics sheet in his hand, shook it with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is old K's data, I will read it for everyone.

老K已经打了25分钟，现在是18分12篮板5助攻4抢断13盖帽，也就是说，他还差一次抢断，就能拿到职业生涯第一个常规赛5*5的数据。”

Kenny Smith hadn't seen it yet, so he quickly grabbed the statistics table, looked at it, and said in surprise: "4 steals and 13 blocks? I only know that old K has a lot of caps today, and the Bulls' outside lines have been numb by his caps. Didn't expect 13 caps?
It seems that after the old K reduced his offense, his performance became more and more versatile. I think his current style of play does not contribute less to the team than when he attacked with all his strength. "

Barkley shook his head and said, "Kenny, you haven't been the core of the team, so you don't understand this. In fact, the core players' style of play must be changed reasonably according to the team's lineup and the opponents they encounter, and cannot be static."

"Flying Pig, if you can speak, just say a few more words."

Kenny Smith glared at Barkley angrily when he heard this pretending to be 13.

Barkley laughed and laughed, and continued: "What's the change? When the core players are needed to be more versatile, they should play an all-around performance. When defensive energy is needed, he should provide defensive energy. When the core players need to score, he should stand up and take over the banner of offense."

"Are you still going to fight?"

The Bulls' bench stepped forward and the already drenched head coach Bill Cartwright asked.

McGrady and several youth soldiers sat on the bench with their heads slumped, panting, sweating profusely, their eyes were all dazed, and they seemed to have been hit hard.

None of them answered the question, and Cartwright shook his head resignedly.

He was not surprised at the state of these young people. No matter who swallowed 25 caps in 13 minutes, even if everyone shared them equally, the person who ate the fewest caps also ate two. The core McGrady alone swallowed 5 caps. , will also be hit so that morale collapses.

He beckoned, called a few substitutes, and got them ready to play.

"Hey, the Bulls gave up, so the old K probably won't play. Although 5*5 is precious, he hasn't got it, but he shouldn't care about this data." Barkley said.

At this time, Zhang Lili also said: "The Bulls gave up, and the Tiejun will definitely not play again. He has never had the habit of collecting statistics on weak teams, and a triple-double counts."

Sure enough, Lao Wang sat on the bench and didn't get up, giving up the chance to play the first 5*5 in his career.

After the game, when Lao Wang passed by McGrady, he saw McGrady's bewildered face. He couldn't bear it, and said in an encouraging tone: "Young people, don't be discouraged. You see, I am getting old. You are the future of the league. You are the sun at one or two o'clock in the morning. You are making progress day by day."

Hearing this kind of encouraging words, it was from No. 1 in the league, McGrady couldn't help being excited, and his morale immediately recovered.

After winning the Bulls, the Suns are 32 wins and 18 losses, still fifth in the Western Conference.

The All-Star Weekend started on Friday the 7th, and was officially held on the 8th and 9th. The Suns had no games in the previous few days and had several days of rest.

On the morning of the 4th, Lao Wang and Fei Ge took Zhou Zhou to Los Angeles and stayed at the villa in Beverly Hills for two days. On the 7th, he flew to Atlanta alone.

This year's All-Star game was held in Atlanta, home of the Hawks at Phillips Arena.

In the East, the starting players are Yao Min, Jermaine O'Neal, Vince Carter, McGrady, and Iverson, among whom Vince Carter was selected as a forward.

The seven substitute All-Stars in the East are Ben Wallace, Kidd, Jamal Mashburn, Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker, Brad Miller, and Big Z.

The five starting All-Stars in the West are Wang Tiejun, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, and Steve Francis.

The seven substitute All-Stars are Marbury, Peja, Payton, Marion, Nowitzki, O'Neal, and Michael Bibby.

Lao Wang feels sorry for Nash. Nash averaged 16 points and 9.5 assists per game this season, and he is also capable of being selected as an All-Star.

But because the Suns already have two All-Stars, one as a starter and one as a substitute, the league's current attitude towards the Suns will not be so generous to the Suns, because Lao Wang will be more or less suppressed.

Although the All-Star substitute is selected by the coach, everything is under the control of the league. It is not bad to be able to give Marion a substitute qualification. It is impossible for the Suns to have three All-Stars in five starters.

In addition, he also feels that he is indeed old, because there are not many people who debuted at about the same time as him, or who were before him, who are still all-stars. The combination of the east and the west is Payton, and other all-stars entered the league later than him.

Arrived in Atlanta at [-]:[-] p.m., arrived at the hotel arranged by the league at [-]:[-] p.m., and was surrounded by reporters for half an hour before entering the lobby.

There are more than 20 all-stars, each with a good relationship has their own circles. After Lao Wang entered the hotel, before entering the room, a group of all-stars gathered around him.

There are Dayao, Daben, and Kidd in the East, and Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Marion, Bibby, and Peja in the West, and he himself has ten people, more than one-third.

Bibby is from Phoenix, and he was his fan in college. He not only came here by himself, but also specially brought Peja.

"Shark, are you... losing weight?" He asked O'Neill after looking at him.

O'Neill immediately said with a painful face: "Because of you, old K, the team forced me to lose weight, and I may die violently at any time now."

Lao Wang twitched his cheeks, and said with some disgust: "Then you'd better stay away and don't follow me."

"Puchi! Haha..." A group of people burst into laughter.

"..."

O'Neill was so distraught that he couldn't speak for a moment.

After Pharaoh put down his luggage in the room, Iverson and Marbury also came to find them. There were 12 people in their group, exactly half of them.

Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock, he waved and shouted: "Come on, let's go to the restaurant, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Boss, what entertainment do we arrange for the evening?" Marion asked hastily.

"Where do you want to go to play? How about we call and ask Mutombo or Ewing, Jordan is also fine, maybe there is a second golden club in Atlanta?" Lao Wang said.

"Haha..." A group of people burst into laughter.

"Old K?"

Just as the elevator door opened, Jordan was inside.

"It's just right, flying man, we want to find a place like the Golden Club to play, do you have a connection?" Old Wang joked.

"Get out!" Jordan said angrily.

"Where are you going?" he asked again.

"Dinner, do you want a treat?" Old Wang asked maliciously.

"Aren't you No.1? Of course you are invited." Jordan suffered a lot, and this time he will not be fooled.

"Aren't you going out yet?"

Lao Wang walked into the elevator, saw that Jordan would not go out, and hurriedly urged him.

"You treat me, of course I want to save face. How much money you have earned from us over the years, we are happy to eat your meal." Jordan said with peace of mind.

Lao Wang couldn't help but said distressedly: "You may not believe it, but in fact I didn't make any money at all, and even invested hundreds of millions of dollars."

At this time, everyone came in, and Marion in front pressed the button, and the elevator began to go up.
