NBA backer king

Chapter 72 Worshiping the Basket God

"Di!"

At about the 9th minute of the first quarter, the referee blew his whistle.

"Special!"

Once again, he was knocked to the ground by two people wrestling under the basket, and the three of them fell into a ball. Depressedly, he pushed Sean Lukes away from above, climbed up, and directly wanted to step over Lukes in anger.

In anger, Lukes lifted his leg and tripped him to the ground again. When he fell, he pressed Doug Smith who was about to get up again, and the three of them fell into a ball again.

"Calm down, old K, they are killing you."

Barkley ran over, pushed Lukes away, and pulled him up.

"what?"

He was taken aback, playing basketball, did he still have a knife on him, didn't he notice it?

But he immediately realized that Barkley was probably talking about foul tactics, and he asked, "Cut my foul tactics?"

"Yes, your success rate at the basket is too high. As long as you enter the basket, you will be sent to the free throw line immediately. If your shooting percentage is not high, they will definitely make money." Barkley explained.

"What should I do?"

He asked and walked to the free throw line.

The whistle blew twice before, and he had already made four free throws, but only hit one. Today, he dunked twice and pulled a basket again. His hand feeling was worse than usual.

He made two dunks in the opening game. Later, he mainly played at the basket, was fouled frequently, and had few chances to get up, so he missed a goal. With free throws, he only scored 5 points now.

Because of his inefficiency, he is now tied with the Mavericks, 16:16, which is already a loss for the Suns, which are two levels stronger.

However, his lethality at the basket has come out. The two inside players of the Mavericks have committed two fouls each. This is still a bit off the whistle, otherwise there will be more.

However, the referee watched him very closely, and he also got two fouls, including an offensive foul.

"boom!"

He missed the fifth free throw again, and he shook his hand angrily.

"Calm down, old K."

Kevin Johnson was there for that loud reminder.

Before the sixth free throw, he looked at the basket and suddenly muttered something in his mouth: "God of the basket, God of the basket, I tore your ex off so that you have a chance to be in the top position. You have to bless me! Don't reject me, or I will tear you off again."

After finishing speaking, he folded his hands together and bowed to the basket.

"What is he doing? Is this worshiping God?" Barkley's eyes widened.

Like him, countless people were confused and didn't understand what it meant.

At this time, the referee threw the ball over. Wang Tiejun caught the ball and worshiped the God of the Basket just now. Now his confidence has skyrocketed, and he can't even catch the ball.

"boom!"

The ball hit the basket and was short.

"The god of the basket with dogs!"

Comrade Wang felt cheated and cursed loudly.

Fortunately, the ball was snatched by Barkley, and this guy actually flew over Sean Lukes's head. The nickname of the Flying Pig was indeed correct.

"here."

Lao Wang strode into the paint from the free throw line and shouted loudly.

Barkley had a conditioned reflex. He had just landed after grabbing the rebound. When he heard the loud shouts behind him, he immediately threw the ball over his head and then flashed to the side.

"call!"

A gust of wind blew in front of him, and the figure soared into the air. There was a bang, and at the same time as the basket exploded, Sean Lux who was under the basket fell down and slipped continuously.

"yeah!"

Whether it was the Suns players on the field or the Suns bench, they cheered instantly.

"Too bad, too bad..."

In the dead American Airlines Center arena, the live commentator lost his voice.

In the TNT live broadcast, Dorem and Dort also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Dortmund said disappointedly: "The Mavericks' inside line is too bad. I have to say that as a rookie, Sean Lukes, the fat fish in the desert, did not perform as well as Old K. He was crushed by Old K at the basket."

Laitem shook his head and smiled wryly: "He is far inferior to old K in terms of height, strength, and tonnage. What can he use to fight against him? You must know that old K has hit 20+10 on Dameng's head. With Dameng's top defensive ability, he can't limit the old K at the basket. Old K made 5 of 4 shots at the basket.

I have to admit that this is a behemoth at the basket, and only a more powerful low-post behemoth like O'Neal can limit him at the basket. "

The two commentators who discriminated against Wang Tiejun now have to admit that they can't continue to be black, because Wang Tiejun's strength is there, and they can indeed continue to be ignorant, but their professional commentary level has been questioned. No one wants to listen to two idiots.

"Mr. referee, he made a foul. He hit me just now, why didn't you call him?" Wang Tiejun continued to shout at the referee after the dunk was successful.

"Don't do this." Barkley quickly pulled him away.

But it was too late, the referee slammed his mouth, and at the same time as the whistle sounded, he made a gesture of a technical offender at Wang Tiejun.

"Clap clap clap..."

The cheers and applause of Mavericks fans immediately sounded at the scene.

"what?"

Pharaoh was dumbfounded for a moment, why?
"You're not the captain of the field, you're still a rookie, and you're not qualified to negotiate with the referee. Let me do this." Barkley said with a wry smile.

"This is discrimination against rookies and contempt for human rights."

Old Wang is too depressed. This is his third offense. This is only the first quarter, so he probably won't be able to play much time today.

Sure enough, next, before the Mavericks made a free throw, he was substituted.

Oliver Miller came on the field, and the Mavericks immediately canceled the slashing tactic, but the double-teaming tactic was still there. Instead, they began to double-team Barkley, using the weak side defense, which was to empty Oliver Miller.

Miller's mobility is not as good as that of old K. Although he is not tall, he is heavier and cannot keep up with Sean Lukes. His playing made Barkley encounter some difficulties.

But at this time, Barkley showed the demeanor of a superstar, scoring consecutive double-team goals, stabilizing the Suns' scoring ability.

In the 8th minute of the second quarter, 44:38, the Suns relied on 6 points, and Wang Tiejun regained the chance to play.

"Don't go to the basket, they will cut you again, just use the hook shot from the outside, pay attention to the open space of your teammates, and distribute the ball in time."

Before playing, assistant coach Lewis exhorted.

"clear."

Old Wang nodded.

He is on the edge of the paint area, and it is difficult to double-team him, because the low wings are already difficult to be double-teamed, and that position is close to the baseline. If it is double-teamed, it is easy to have open opportunities in other positions.

So in this era, not to mention the inside, many outside players sometimes enter the low post for singles with the help of tactics, because it is not easy to be double-teamed there.

For example, Jordan is particularly good at singles in the low post and wings.

In the 1986 playoffs, when the Bulls played against the Celtics, Jordan scored 63 points in a single game, creating the latest single-game scoring record in the NBA.

Larry Bird said a famous line after the game: "God is playing in jersey No. 23 tonight."

In the following season, Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game.

The reason why Jordan scored so powerfully that he couldn't defend at all was because of the isolated singles tactics used, the others pulled away, and he singled out the opponent alone.

And his singles are often played on the low wings, because it is difficult to be double-teamed there when others are opened, and it is not far from the basket.

Subsequently, in order to balance, the league introduced the anti-isolation singles rule in 1988, which is the legendary Jordan rule.

In the past, Wang Tiejun was useless on the low wings, because his scoring ability was too poor there, and he could only be threatening when he hit the basket. If he was on the weak side, the defender could let him take a step or two, and go back to the basket and help defend the strong side.

Now that he has the ability to score close to the basket, he is threatening there. Even if the ball is not in his hands, not only can defenders not let him go, but other defenders should pay attention to him.
