MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 589 smash the shark
Chapter 589 Defeating Sharks
39:46, the Suns played a wave of 7-0, leading by 7 points, and now the Lakers are attacking.
"Kobe, pass the ball in, O'Neal will help you." Phil Jackson shouted.
He is also very troubled, Kobe's status in the Lakers is too high, the hero of the three consecutive championships, the outside core of the second and third championships, he and O'Neal, two outsiders, can't challenge Kobe's status in the Lakers, so command Kobe's Sometimes, he was a little restrained and angered Kobe, and he didn't bother him at all, and confronted him.
But Kobe didn't confront him this time. After Fisher held the ball over the center line, he didn't ask for the ball. Fisher quickly passed the ball to O'Neal.
The left wing is low, O'Neill is carrying Lao Wang steadily, and catches the ball in the future.
He is now fully aware of the importance of the huge tonnage. When the tonnage was not enough before, the old K used the combination of virtual and real confrontation methods, which made him a little untenable. Now, the confrontation techniques of the old K are not at all important to him. useless.
When he thought of this, he regretted it too much, he should have gained weight long ago, what a waste of good time! Gain weight earlier, maybe you have a dynasty, **** old K, robbed his dynasty!
The big **** pouted backwards, and after sensing the old K's position, his back slammed back, and his back arch began.
"Squeak!"
At this moment, Old Wang stepped back instantly, and then dodged to the side.
"Oops!"
O'Neill knew he was going to lose face as soon as he hit the air with his back. With a bang, his back hit the floor, and the floor jumped several times.
Lao Wang made a stride, waved his ape arm, and reached out with his big hand. He grabbed the out-of-control ball in his hand and controlled the ball.
"Haha, isn't O'Neill being too careless? Do you really think that you can rub old K on the floor if you have a tonnage?" Barkley laughed.
"Looking at it now, the old K has dunked O'Neal twice and knocked over O'Neal once. It was the old K who was pressing him to the floor and rubbing it." Kenny Smith laughed.
"boom!"
Marion played fast without the ball, and his speed was extremely fast. After receiving the direct pass from Lao Wang, he rushed into the paint and flew into the paint with a full-fledged tomahawk-style dunk.
"The Suns are generally very fast-moving now, especially Marion, half of his points come from fast breaks." Zhang Lili laughed.
"At critical moments, the old K can participate in the quick play." Su Qun laughed.
"39:48, after the timeout, the Suns scored 9 points in a row, the Lakers didn't score a single point, and the offense was seriously frustrated. It's time to call another timeout." Zhang Reasonable said.
But Phil Jackson did not call a timeout, and the game continued.
Fisher saw that Kobe didn't ask for the ball, and prepared to pass it to O'Neal again.
But at this moment, Lao Wang, who was defending at the top, suddenly circled to the front and implemented a defense around the front.
When O'Neal saw it, he quickly moved to the basket and reached for the ball.
Fisher took a step back, after avoiding Nash in front, he lobbed the ball to the left of the basket.
"not good!"
But at the moment he passed the ball, out of the corner of his vision, he saw that Old K had already rushed in front of O'Neal.
"Snapped!"
Lao Wang once again completed the steal with a stronger bounce.
Barkley shouted excitedly: "Nice, old K's defense is too strong today, O'Neal's tonnage is too big now, he can't jump much anymore, and the faster old K can completely cut off O'Neal by defending around the front." The line to catch the ball."
On the field, Nash quickly got off, Kobe and Fisher chased and defended very quickly, and the fast break opportunity was not good, so he immediately pulled out, waiting for the arrival of old K, and playing positional warfare.
At this time, Kenny Smith said: "Now it's the Lakers' turn to have a headache, how to pass the ball to O'Neal. Once O'Neal gets the ball in the low post, although you still have to be careful of old K's defense, such as the evacuation just now, the ball was lost, but His low-post offense still poses a strong threat to Old K."
Barkley nodded: "Of course, the tonnage of the shark is a threat to anyone, especially his wife, who is in danger of life."
"Ha ha…"
The two burst into laughter after speaking.
Pharaoh came to the low position and settled on the left wing.
O'Neill pushes him outward, the tonnage is relatively too small, and it is a bit difficult to contend with. This kind of consumption is unnecessary, so he simply takes a step outward.
"Shark, another one?" he asked.
"Come here." O'Neal, who was one step away, said unconvinced.
"Need to be double-teamed? You know I don't mind, I'm used to you double-teaming me," he said.
"Don't come here!" O'Neill waved and shouted in grief and shame.
"ball!"
Pharaoh immediately shouted.
"boom!"
The ball arrived, and as soon as he got it, his offense immediately started. Between dribbles, he made an extremely flexible turn.
"Slip!"
O'Neill retreated quickly.
"boom!"
Pharaoh, who turned down and slipped to the bottom, made an emergency stop, and while dribbling, he took a very flexible up turn with his back to O'Neill.
O'Neill quickly turned halfway upwards, took a step sideways upwards, and barely kept up with the rhythm.
"boom!"
But at this moment, while the ball was exploding, Pharaoh quickly turned around for the third time, turning downward.
The next moment, when the ball exploded from the floor, Lao Wang caught it in his hand, and then exploded instantly, smashing the ball with both hands.
"It's over!"
O'Neill's brain kept up with the rhythm, but his body couldn't keep up with the rhythm. When his upper body turned around, his lower body didn't keep up with the rhythm. His legs twisted together, and with a bang, when he fell, he was hit by Lao Wang who was dunking again. turn.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
With the sound of violent basket blasting, the referee's whistle also sounded, and then the American West Arena was flooded with huge cheers.
"what!"
Made a fool of himself again, and was dunked by old K again. O'Neill on the floor punched the floor in grief and indignation.
But he was still a little thankful that he was not injured this time. Both legs were twisted together, and he was knocked over by old K. If he was a little unlucky or his flexibility was a little weak, his joints might be broken.
"O'Neal's fourth foul, this is only the second quarter, the Lakers should have no chance today." Zhang Lili said immediately.
"Four fouls, three of which were blocking fouls under the basket without a jump defense, Director Zhang, this shows that old K can still beat O'Neal by force!" Su Qun said excitedly.
Zhang Lili was also very excited, nodded and said: "It's different from before. Now O'Neal's tonnage is too large. It is very difficult for the old K to force O'Neal under the basket, but through a more flexible offensive method, these three blocking fouls really proved that he Still able to beat O'Neal."
In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley shook his head and said: "Shaq must lose weight. He is too heavy. Although he can increase his dominance at the basket, the old K has the same height and wingspan as him. No, the old K still He is three centimeters taller than him, and now he can jump much better than him. How high can O'Neill jump now? Thirty centimeters, old K can jump at least one meter, haha..."
Kenny Smith interrupted Barkley with a smile, and said: "Charles, I know that old K is brother Ni, but you can't brag about him like that, he must not be able to jump a meter."
Barkley grinned and said: "I mean, the old K's defense against O'Neal is very effective. O'Neal can't rely on tonnage to gain a clear advantage at the basket. He can't catch the ball, even in the low positions on the wings. To the ball, his tonnage is meaningless, he must lose weight and increase his mobility, otherwise I bet he will continue to be rubbed on the floor by the old K.
By the way, he is the one who was pressed on the floor and rubbed now, right? I guess even Sharks fans can't deny that, right? Ha ha"
Kenny Smith shook his head with a smile and said: "No one can deny that the shark is indeed being rubbed against the floor by Old K. Time and time again, he has lost face."
Before the free throw, O'Neill was substituted. Up to now, he has no fighting spirit, and his morale has been broken by Lao Wang.
Kobe asked him to find a way to prevent the old K's relying on the fight, but he couldn't figure out a way, and he was knocked down by the old K's club step. What's wrong with this?
With the end of O'Neal, the Lakers have no ability to compete with the Suns. Although Kobe is good, he is not as good as Jordan. With Lao Wang in the low post, he can't turn the sky.
However, Kobe still caused a lot of trouble for the Suns. Although Marion got the advice of Lao Wang, Kobe also found a way to deal with it, that is, to use a turn and step back jumper that is more stable than a turn and step back jumper. Get rid of Marion and still keep scoring points.
Marion's lunge defense allows him to retreat in time to achieve the efficiency of a late attack, but it also has a great weakness. His feet are stretched too far, and he cannot keep up with Kobe's retreat rhythm and cannot rush up in time.
At the same time, Kobe also strengthened his defense against Nash on the defensive end, forcing Nash to make consecutive mistakes.
At the end of halftime, the Suns led by 13 points. After O'Neal went off the court, Kobe supported himself, and the Lakers did not collapse.
At the beginning of the second half, O'Neal played again, but he was still embarrassed by Lao Wang's defense around the front. He had problems receiving the ball and made another mistake. After that, he didn't pass the ball to him very much from the outside, especially Kobe. Completely ignored his request for the ball.
He took his anger out on Pharaoh, and made great defensive moves.
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, the Suns attacked.
Lao Wang asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing, turned around suddenly to get rid of O'Neal, cut inside to the basket, and received the ball.
Fortunately, Lakers power forward Walker returned to the basket in a hurry and blocked for half a second, allowing O'Neal to catch up to the basket and complete the double-team in time.
But at this moment, Pharaoh suddenly retreated and jumped sideways, and escaped from the double-team. When he was about to separate the two from his body, O'Neill hugged him with both hands, and a hug fell.
Fortunately, he didn't dare to intentionally injure Lao Wang. He didn't let go of his hold, and put Lao Wang down on the floor.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Old Wang got up and glanced at O'Neill, feeling that the fat man was a bit pitiful, did he want to apply for an early exit?
Sure enough, three minutes later, O'Neill fouled Lao Wang again and successfully got the sixth foul.
O'Neal played a total of 22 minutes. In the first quarter, he made 2 of 3 shots and 3 of 8 free throws. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. Only two points were scored. He made 3 of 5 shots and 4 of 10 free throws. He only scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls.
Kobe was extremely disappointed. He felt that O'Neill was far behind old K. From willpower, desire to win, and technology, even if he had better physical fitness than old K before, he couldn't control his weight. Old K crushed one end, and now he is crushed by Old K in all directions.
He believes that the huge tonnage did not allow O'Neill to play a dominant role in the face of the old K. The old K's strong defense made the fat man suffer. If O'Neal does not lose weight, he will continue to be pressed on the floor by the old K. friction.
In the next game, Kobe took over the Lakers, and both offensive and defensive ends broke out.
However, after O'Neal left the field, Wang Tiejun completely dominated the low position, played absolute dominance, and destroyed the Lakers in one fell swoop.
Kobe is Kobe, even if the score difference is 20 points, he is not willing to leave the court. Lao Wang left the court three minutes before the end of the game, and he continued to play until the last second.
In the end, 100:115, the Suns won by 15 points at home.
Wang Tiejun played 41 minutes, 20 of 28 shots, 71.4% shooting, 13 of 16 free throws, 81.2% shooting, 53 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.
Kobe played 46 minutes, 14 of 32 shots, 43.7% shooting, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 35 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.
At the end of the game, Barkley shook his head and said: "Shark O'Neal's performance is disappointing. His huge tonnage did not give him an advantage in the matchup with the old K, but dragged him down. The result is that he is not the old K. K rubbed against the floor, but old K rubbed him against the floor."
Speaking of this, he said sincerely: "Shaq, if you heard it, you should lose weight, you must lose at least 150 kilograms, and let your movement ability recover partly, so that you have the tonnage advantage and the movement speed. It’s not too bad, so it’s possible to compete with Old K.”
Kenny Smith nodded and said: "The huge tonnage makes O'Neill unable to keep up with the old K's rhythm at all. Even at the basket, it is not easy for him to catch the ball. This is still the case when the old K defends him alone."
Barkley said: "Old K's strength quality is also extremely strong. He still maintains a tonnage of 130 kilograms. O'Neal can't squeeze old K away with a touch like other opponents. He has to use all his strength to squeeze old K away. .
Therefore, his tonnage does not have an absolute advantage over old K, but old K's mobility has an absolute advantage over him, which is why he was rubbed against the floor by old K. "
On the field, Kobe was talking to Lao Wang.
"Old K, tell me quickly, what is Marion's weird gait, the gait of standing in front of one another?"
Old Wang shook his head and said blankly: "Then you have to ask Marion, why are you asking me?"
"Don't pretend, you must have taught Marion." Kobe said airily.
"Ha ha…"
Old Wang was too lazy to pretend, and said with a smile: "Didn't you crack it, what are you asking?"
"No, I can only use a step-back jumper to break through, but that kind of defense prevents me from hitting or breaking through." Kobe said anxiously.
The reason why he is so efficient is that he relies on Tieshan to win space for shots and breakthroughs, especially for breakthroughs. His first step is not fast enough, and this advantage cannot be lost.
Starting the second quarter today, Marion's defensive positioning gave him a headache, and his shooting percentage was lower than normal.
If his opponents use Marion to defend him in the future, won't he become a blacksmith again?
Old Wang scolded: "Idiot, you can use the plum blossom step to get rid of him and change the direction of attack. It's useless to teach you. You can't apply what you have learned. You will never be able to surpass that old boy Jordan in your life."
Kobe was stunned, slapped his thigh hard, and sighed: "I was confused by you on the court, I forgot."
"Who is mad at you?" Pharaoh asked curiously.
"Who else? You, and that big fat man." Kobe said angrily.
"Snapped!"
Old Wang slapped Kobe's cap, and Kobe let out an ouch, dodged and said angrily, "Old K, why are you hitting me again? So many reporters and fans are watching."
"Kacha Kacha..."
A group of reporters waiting nearby quickly pressed the shutter.
Looking at Jerry West, Magic Johnson, and Phil Jackson, the corners of their eyes twitched. The only person in the world who can treat Kobe like this is old K, not even Kobe's parents.
"Do I need a reason to hit you?"
After the old Wang asked a question, he cursed again: "You idiot, if you drive away O'Neill, who do you think you can find to help you?"
"But he is not as good as you." Kobe argued.
"That's better than the others, too."
Old Wang said something, and after thinking about it, he persuaded him: "Back then, Jordan could force O'Neal to lose weight, but couldn't you?"
Kobe shook his head and said: "After he won the championship, his mentality has changed. He can't bear the hardship anymore, and it's useless to persuade him."
"Then there's no way."
Lao Wang shook his head, patted Kobe on the shoulder, turned around and began to accept live interviews with those reporters.
"Old K, what do you most want to say to O'Neill now?" The TNT reporter asked.
Lao Wang turned his head and looked, O'Neal was not there, he should have left when he was talking to Kobe, he said with a smile: "I want to say, my family still lacks a cat wolf, Shaq, are you willing to apply? "
"Ha ha…"
Two journalists who had previously heard the trash talk in the press room couldn't help laughing.
"Old K, what do you mean, can you explain a little bit more clearly?" The TNT reporter asked hastily.
"NO, you ask them both."
Pharaoh Wang didn't want to waste his time talking, so he quickly pushed it away.
