MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 574 I want everyone to know that I am still me!
Chapter 574 I want everyone to know that I am still me!
At this time, the visiting team played. As the host team of the Suns, the Supersonic fans immediately bragged, but when Pharaoh made his final appearance, there was a burst of cheers and applause in the arena.
"click, click..."
All the reporters pressed the shutter frantically at the Pharaoh who appeared on the stage.
"Old K, Barkley said you want to cut 50+ here, I bet you're bragging, you can't do it, you're already abolished!" a local reporter shouted.
"Old K, you shouldn't come back. If you don't come back, you are still a myth and legend with 6 crowns in 9 years. If you come back, you will become a stepping stone for newcomers. It's too late for you to announce your retirement again." Another reporter shouted loudly.
Turning a deaf ear, Pharaoh walked to the court unhurriedly, constantly high-fives with his teammates. While looking at the Key Arena of Nuoda, there was also a strong desire to conquer.
He announced his comeback a few months in advance, but the league did not arrange a home game for his first comeback. To be honest, he has opinions on the league, and has a lot of opinions.
Hawksman and Zhang Lili have both analyzed him. He is not an American, and he didn't even get a green card. Now his achievements have actually become a thorn in the eyes of some Americans and the American media.
But within the league, because he is pushing the four quarterbacks, he has become a past tense. Even if he still has a certain strength after his comeback, the league will make him a past tense, because God lives in history and legends is the best of.
Hawksman told him very bluntly and clearly that the league would not allow him to lead the Suns to play a dynasty, much less allow him to dominate another era.
From the Suns' national live broadcast, to the first game of the comeback, to the league official, there has been no news about his comeback. It seems that there is no such thing. This is an obvious cold treatment. Everything is exciting. follow him.
He needs a catharsis since his accidental injury last year.
"I want everyone to know that I am still me!"
At the Key Arena, Barkley's words were already known by the two on-site commentators. At this time, one on-site commentator shouted: "Old K is on the field, Supersonic fans, do you know what he just said? He is going to be in On our heads, we hit 50+ in this arena, do you allow it?"
"Shhh!"
Supersonic's home game reacted instantly, and the cheers and applause for Pharaoh immediately turned into huge boos.
In the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili sighed: "Supersonic fans just welcomed Tie Jun because Tie Jun is the first person in history who is no longer at the peak, because this first person in history can no longer pose a threat to Supersonic, and The Sonics could also put a mighty head on the all-time No. 1 comeback tonight.
But they will definitely not welcome a first person in history who wants to shoot 50+ on their heads, which is why they are now booing the Iron Army. "
"I really hope Old K can hit 50+ tonight!" Su Qun said with great anticipation.
The two looked at each other and laughed. They often went to see Pharaoh's training in China. They were very clear about Pharaoh's current state. Even if Wang Tiejun was not as terrifying as before, he was still very strong. As for how strong he was. , which cannot be known from only some training states.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "In the past, Tie Jun wanted to hit 50+ on the supersonic head. It was as easy as chopping vegetables and melons. I hope it can be done tonight."
…
The capital, Fengshen Street, K-era Sports Center, countless fans have gathered from all over the capital since the dawn of time.
CCTV sent a photography team. Seeing this scene, Chen, the team leader in charge of NBA affairs in the Sports Department, exclaimed excitedly:
"Old Liu, look, I'm right, this is the influence of old K. What if he retired for a year? What if he was seriously injured? He is still the greatest basketball player in our country, and he is still the greatest basketball player in our country. Great athlete."
Lao Liu is also a team leader in charge of NBA affairs in the sports department, but he still insisted on his own opinion: "I said it too, this is just the beginning, as the feelings are exhausted, more and more people will leave, be realistic. , Old K is in the past tense, fans will miss him, but his influence will inevitably continue to decline."
"I won't talk to you anymore." Old Chen said angrily.
At this moment, countless people are gathering in the open-air stadium of the May 7th team, and the stadium of Nuoda will soon be filled.
The rural basketball league of the May 7th Brigade has now developed to a large scale. Several surrounding cities and counties have teams participating. It has also been favored by the HEB provincial TV station. Advertisers' favor.
Xiao Jiu'er has grown up, her IQ is similar to that of the NBA next door Big Brother Wang, who didn't go to college, but she is quick-witted and articulate. Now she has become the official on-site commentator of the May 7th Team Basketball League, and she has also become a HEB province. Little famous basketball commentator.
Key Arena, it's almost half past eight and the game is about to start.
In front of the Suns' bench, Pharaoh stood in the middle, and all his teammates were around. After he raised his right hand, everyone's hands went up.
"Victory!"
As his roar sounded, all the Suns players, coaching staff, and staff roared loudly.
"Shhh!"
Huge boos, like a ferocious flood, instantly drowned out the voices of more than 20 people from the Suns.
With a wave of , Pharaoh walked onto the court with four starting teammates.
On the other side, Peyton, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his chin, squinted at Pharaoh, and snorted coldly in his heart: "I can't beat the old king before, can't I beat the old king now?"
In the middle circle, Pharaoh and the supersonic center stand opposite each other.
His opponent tonight, Drogbiak, is a European, from Montenegro, his second show in 1997, 211 cm, 130 kg, low strength, can start in the SuperSonics, that is because the SuperSonics are at the 5th position There is really no one available, a good center, the league will always be short.
He didn't have the habit of bullying the juniors, he just glanced at the other party.
Drogbiak's eyes narrowed, and at this glance, he felt murderous, a bit biting.
In the face of the first person in history, even if it is a half-crippled first person in history, with his strength and status, he did not dare to make any provocative actions. Old K glanced at him, he smiled back, and his face was stiff. He twitched, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
"Di!"
As the whistle blew, an orange basketball was thrown into the air by the referee.
At this moment, on the scene, in front of the TV, and all over the world, countless people are staring at Pharaoh jumping the ball to see how high he can jump.
People who like him hope he can jump as high as before, people who hate him hope he can't jump.
Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Barkley, Zhang Lili, David Stern, Jr. Colangelo, etc. At this moment, all eyes are on Pharaoh.
The next moment, when the basketball fell from the highest point, a huge figure flew into the air at high speed, and under his big hands, swiped the ball away.
"Oh!"
The exclamation sounded like rolling thunder.
"How high did he jump? I think at least seventy or eighty centimeters."
"Oh, didn't old K break his heels? Does this look like someone who broke his heels? Did he break his heels?"
"God, I feel like he's jumping faster than before, he's jumping faster! He didn't break his heel, he had a spring surgery."
For a while, in the auditorium of the scene, countless fans were talking about it, and the buzzing sound was endless.
"how is this possible?"
When Jordan saw Old K jumping, his pupils instantly dilated.
I can see clearly that the old K is jumping faster than before. This is completely unscientific and counter-intuitive. How can a person who has broken his heels jump faster than before?
"Old K, actually jumping faster?"
Kobe couldn't believe his eyes. He was too familiar with the old K. The old K was definitely not jumping so fast before. Could it be possible to jump faster with a single break? Then he will try it later.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
O'Neal was dumbfounded. Does this look like someone who has broken with the scorpion? This is such an astronaut on a rocket!
"God bless, if old K jumps like this a few more times, maybe the heel will break again."
Garnett stood up again, staring at the TV, his heart was numb, and instinctively made a cross on his chest.
David Stern sighed inwardly when he saw this scene, a not-so-good feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, he knew that there might be trouble.
It is impossible for a person who has broken his heels to dance like old K. What does it mean that old K can jump like this? It shows that his physique belongs to Superman, and his recovery is not good, but very good, good enough to surpass his previous athletic qualities.
"Forget it, let it be the way it is. I can't control what the media does to him. Whether the four quarterbacks can beat him depends on their ability."
At this time, he had this idea as a last resort.
There is really nothing he can do. If Old K can really restore his previous strength, no, even if he has only 70% or 80% of his strength, he can still make waves in the alliance.
He can indeed prevent the Suns from continuing to trade superstars into the team, but that's all, he can't stop the general transaction, just like the last time Nash was traded, he can't stop it, otherwise it would be completely unjust and balanced. .
But according to Old K's previous strength, he doesn't need those superstars at all, as long as he has a few teammates with an average of 10+ per game, it is enough to play a world, and there are a few good substitutes to form a good eight-nine-man rotation lineup , what will happen, he doesn't want to think about it anymore.
Key Arena, Pharaoh came to the front court, ran directly to the basket, was blocked by Drogbiak, and immediately went around flexibly and entered the basket.
Zone defense is now allowed, and players without the ball can be double-teamed in advance, but the SuperSonics did not arrange double-teaming tactics for Pharaoh in advance. Head coach Nate McMillan, like the general media, thinks that the old K has been abolished and will no longer be used at all. need.
Just jumping the ball, Old K showed his outstanding jumping ability, which only surprised him, but not enough to make him change his defensive tactics immediately.
If you double-team Old K in advance, it will definitely give the Suns an vacancy. Nash's passing ability is very good, so he will not easily arrange early double-teaming tactics. The current Old K is not worth it.
Nash pushed to the right wing, Payton was tight, and he had some difficulty facing Payton, the most defensive point guard in the league.
Glove Payton has won a DPOY once, and he has been selected for the defensive first team 9 times. He is the leader in steals once, and the No. 1 position. In the history of the league, his defensive ability ranks first in the league.
And today, Old K spoke harshly to him, so now he is also defending with all his strength. With the defensive intensity of the playoffs, he wants to strangle the Suns’ offense from the root, so that Old K can only watch him die inside. Nash.
Nash was hard-pressed by Payton's suffocating defense, and the Suns' offense was hampered.
On the sidelines, D'Antoni saw this scene and sighed to himself: "It seems that defense is really important."
Under the basket, Pharaoh can't see it, the ball can't come in, three seconds are approaching, and he can only leave the paint area immediately.
He saw that Nash was making a wide shift, moving from the right wing to the top of the arc, and he ran to the left wing low.
"ball."
As soon as he got out of the paint area, he pressed his left elbow against Drogbiak, who was following up, and shouted at Nash.
Nash heard the sound, suddenly made a sudden stop, and took advantage of the short time to get rid of Payton to pass the ball.
"Snapped!"
Pharaoh catches the ball with his right hand.
The jump ball just now, without confrontation, can't really prove his state, and now, the first time he touches the ball after his comeback, he can really see his state.
At this moment, from David Stern, to Jordan, Kobe and many others, their eyes widened, staring at Pharaoh with all their attention.
In the next instant, Wang Tiejun faced upwards, leaning on his side and attacking.
During the dribble, the left foot went inward, and when the right heel was on the heel, the feet slammed down. .
"Let's fight sideways!?"
At this moment, the eyes of countless people shrank.
“…”
This action was particularly memorable for Jordan. He instantly thought of the tragic scenes of the Bulls inside players who were beaten by Old K's sideways and fractured one after another.
"Boom!"
With the heavy crash, in a painful groan, the 130kg Drogbiak flew straight back.
When he entered the league, because the K-law had been introduced, the terrifying side-by-side fighting of the old K had been banned, and there were only legends of side-by-side fighting left on the rivers and lakes, and there was no chance to taste it, so he was not mentally prepared.
Now, he knows what old K's sideways hit is, but it's too late.
"Boom!"
His 130kg body hit the floor, and he immediately cried out in pain while covering his left chest.
"boom!"
The next moment, a huge figure flew over him, covering the sky, and the loud explosion of baskets sounded above his head.
"ah!"
All Suns players, coaching staff, staff, including Colangelo Jr., all cheered and excited.
"Oh **** ho ho..."
Stoudemire waving a white towel excitedly, jumping and jumping in front of the bench.
"what!"
At the same moment, the entire Phoenix, even the entire state of Arizona, China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the K Times Sports Center on Fengshen Street in the capital, and the open-air stadium of the 57th Team, there were countless cheers.
“…”
Jordan's eyes widened, and now he has only one thought, old K or old K, him, or him.
Now, he has completely lost the intention of coming back, why is he coming back, is he being targeted by the **** old K for abuse? Go to a special ball market! I'm almost forty years old, comeback is a fart!
"Still so strong?"
Portland, seeing this scene, Duncan suddenly widened his eyes.
After old K retired in 2001, he lost weight, because he no longer needed such a large tonnage, and in 2000 he was injured and became a floor flow, unable to support such a large tonnage.
Now his tonnage is 120 kilograms, and he wanted to continue to lose two kilograms to keep it at 118 kilograms and 260 pounds, but now, he can't make up his mind for a while.
"God, am I decreasing now, or am I increasing?"
Old K can knock down defenders, and his confrontation ability has not declined due to serious injuries. With this intensity of confrontation, now his tonnage can't handle it at all, and he will be knocked flying.
"It's over, it's over, old K, old K, since there is me, why are you still there?"
O'Neill was completely dumbfounded, such an old K, where did he come back from a serious injury, this is a refurbishment and a new factory!
"By the way, **** it, there is no K-law now, no K-law..."
He suddenly got agitated, ran into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out some food, frantically stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered, "I want to gain weight, I can't lose any more, I want to increase my dominance, I want to use Tonnage and strength crush him, he can't hit me, I'm going to use fat to reduce friction..."
Garnett got up from the sofa for the third time, with a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, his face was panic, and his heart was beating like a drum.
Abandoned old K, Yu Wei is still there, he only dares to say that old K is not allowed to be arrogant on his head, and dare not say that he wants to rub old K like O'Neal. Now that old K is obviously not abolished, he immediately panics. .
"K-law, K-law, **** alliance, why cancel K-law?"
Thinking of this, his heart became more and more panic, and he wished that the alliance would restart K-law now.
Although he is a power forward, many times he has to play against the center when switching defenses, and he may also want to double-team Old K. Now that he has offended Old K, Old K is not looking for him to vent his anger?
