MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 603 weight gain injury
At eight o'clock in the evening, the game begins.
Two hours later, the Suns won the away game and won the second round with a score of 3 to 2.
As Lao Wang said, Pippen and Flying Squirrel were in poor condition. The former was injured after only 11 minutes of playing, scoring 0 points and 1 assist, while the latter only played for 15 minutes. , did not break through, scored 5 points and 2 assists, and was replaced by an angry Dunleavy.
Bunch Wells, who showed great prowess in the G4 game, also turned off in this game. He made 3 of 14 shots and only scored 10 points.
Although Duncan scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, the old K scored 35 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks.
In the East, Dayao and Kidd teamed up to successfully win the G5 game, eliminated the digital team with a big score of 4 to 1, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.
On the 13th, at 9 am, Pippen's agent announced on his behalf that Pippen had a torn back muscle, was reimbursed for the season, and decided to retire.
"Old Pi, you look pretty good, what are you going to do in the future?"
Lao Wang got the news after waking up, and went to the hospital to visit Lao Pi.
"Old K, it's great that you can come to see me. I will start my trading company after I retire, and I will rely on it for the rest of my life."
Pippen's mental state is not bad, and he is very happy to see old K go to see him.
"Old K, thank you so much. Without your help these years, Scotty would have gone bankrupt many times."
When Pippen's wife Larsa saw Lao Wang, her eyes turned green instantly, and her attitude was very enthusiastic, which made Lao Wang a little uncomfortable. After a few words, she hurriedly left.
After lunch, the Suns boarded a special plane back to Phoenix.
This night, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks again and took the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals.
The Pistons lost to the Green Team. The two sides fought three to two, and the Pistons still held the match point.
"Old K, I want to beat you with my own hands, don't let me down, I'll wait for you in the Western Conference Finals." After the game, Kobe called.
"Kobe, your kid's hair has grown hard, right?" Old Wang said angrily.
"The wings are hard, you said before." Kobe corrected.
"Do you have wings? What I say is what I say." Old Wang said arrogantly.
"Anyway, I'm waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals, and I will beat your team with my own hands." Kobe insisted.
"Dreams are full, but reality is skinny. Kobe, you should go fishing with my cat food. Choose the dock first, lest Duncan take the lead." Old Wang laughed.
"Then come on, let's see who goes fishing." Kobe hung up the phone after slamming the next sentence.
On the evening of the 14th, at eight o'clock, the Suns and the Trail Blazers launched a G6 battle.
In the seventh minute of the first quarter, Momonga, who started the game, was knocked down by Nash. His knee injury recurred and he retired from the game.
Pippen retired, Momonga also retired from injury, the Blazers lost two outsiders who could organize the offense, and the ball fell into the hands of two shooting guards, Bunch Wells and Derek Anderson.
Pharaoh immediately strengthened his defense and blocked the penalty area with all his strength, forcing the two guards of the Blazers to make wild shots outside. After a round of ironing, the Suns took the opportunity to open the score.
Duncan tried his best to resist, but was unable to contend with Lao Wang on both offense and defense. The Blazers quickly slipped into the abyss of failure in the G6 game.
At ten o'clock, as the referee blew his whistle, the game ended. The Suns eliminated the Trail Blazers and entered the Western Conference Finals with a score of 4-2.
"Tim, don't be depressed..."
Seeing Duncan's disappointment that he couldn't hide, Old Wang went over and patted him on the head, comforting him: "Lucky boy, you've already stolen a championship while I'm not around, so just have fun."
Duncan's psychology as thick as a turtle shell was also comforted and fluctuated a little, and he said unconvinced: "Old K, I won the championship by defeating the OK combination and the Nets by strength, not stealing it."
Old Wang smiled and said: "In my era, the only real championship is to beat me to win the championship. I don't agree with anything else."
Having said that, he patted Duncan's head again, plucked a few hairs down, and comforted him again: "But you are still young, Dayao, McGrady, and Kobe are the sun at one or two o'clock, and you are at two or three o'clock." The sun of the clock, Iverson is the sun at three or four o'clock.
Anyway, the future belongs to you, and you are the sun in the morning. You can definitely wait until the day when the sun sets, and take your time. "
"..."
Looking at the back of old K leaving, Duncan's mind was a little confused by these few words.
He calculated his age, he is three years younger than old K, and the current style of play does not cost his body. As long as he does not get seriously injured, he can definitely maintain his peak period longer. He thinks that he should be able to survive until the old K falls to the peak. ?
"Old K, I will survive better than you." He made up his mind to survive Old K to death.
After the game, Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Duncan scored 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls in the last game. Both offensive and defensive performances are excellent, but the shooting percentage is only 41%.
And Tie Jun scored 41 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 5 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls. His performance is definitely a level better than Duncan. "
Su Qun said with a smile: "Duncan can be regarded as a top-level defense, and Rasheed Wallace's defense is also top-notch. The two teamed up and even defended in advance, but they couldn't lock the old K. It can be seen that the old K's offense It’s really one of a kind.”
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Rashid Wallace's defense is really good, double-teaming the Iron Army in advance, but as long as Stoudemire is close to the paint area, he can return to defense in time. Stoudemire's performance in the second round is average. Rashid defended well.
He and Duncan double-teamed the Tiejun, which was effective. The Tiejun had too little offense at the basket, and the shooting rate was only 55%, which is evidence, which is lower than the shooting rate in the regular season.
But Pippen and Little Momonga are gone. The Blazers lost control of the outside line and couldn't attack, so they could only shoot outside.
The breakthroughs of Wells and Anderson are not as threatening as Little Flying Squirrel or Pippen. Their speed is average, and the Iron Army can block them. "
Su Qun nodded and said: "Pippen broke through many times in G4. Although his speed is not good, his experience is still there, and his passing ability is still there, so his breakthrough threat is indeed very strong.
Wells and Anderson didn’t have Pippen’s passing, nor did Little Momonga’s speed and agility. The breakthrough threat was indeed much worse, and the lethality was not enough to break through the penalty area guarded by Old K with all his strength. "
Zhang Lili said happily: "Now that the Suns have reached the Western Conference Finals and will join the Lakers, it's nice."
Su Qun also smiled and said: "Master-student duel, giant beast duel, full of anticipation."
An hour later, the Suns held a post-match press conference.
"Old K, what do you want to say most about the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers?" A reporter asked.
"It's a pity that my cat food has become hungry and thin recently. I want to ask the Lakers management whether they have deducted the ration of my cat food? This is not acceptable. The cat food is thin. What do my cats eat?" Lao Wang teased road.
"Haha..." The press conference hall suddenly burst into laughter.
"Old K, do you want to say something to Kobe?" A reporter from the Los Angeles Daily asked.
"I heard that Kobe has gained another nickname in the past two years, Los Angeles Marlon? This kid is too shameful. I have never taught him this. Please help me pass a message to him. If he dares to be presumptuous in the Western Conference Finals, I'm going to take off his pants and beat him to death." Old Wang asked slowly.
"Puff!" Many reporters laughed.
On the night of the 15th, the Pistons defeated the Green Team and joined the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals.
So far, the second round of the series has been played, and the Eastern and Western finals are about to start.
The first battle will be the Eastern Conference Finals. The Nets have home court advantage and will play G1 on the 17th. Then the Western Conference G1 game will start on the 18th. The Suns have home court advantage.
On the 16th, the big one called.
"Big, it's been so long since the first round, what are you doing in Sacramento?"
"Brother Tie Jun, I did some body maintenance."
"Well, good, you are only 26 years old, at least you can still play a contract in the NBA, you need to take good care of your body, don't waste these little money."
"Understood Brother Tiejun, by the way, I have already booked a ticket and am going back to China."
"Aren't you going to watch the Western Conference Finals?"
"No, my parents and my wife really want to go back early. We didn't go back last year, so I'm homesick, haha."
"Okay, I'll contact you after I return to the capital."
"Okay."
At noon this day, the league announced the regular season MVP winner and gave it to Tim Duncan.
At noon on the 17th, the Lakers arrived in Phoenix.
"Old K, I'm here."
Kobe made a phone call to Lao Wang after landing, his tone was very cold.
"Hey, you called me as soon as you got off the plane. Are you planning to go to war? Or tell me to pick you up?" Old Wang asked.
"Afternoon." Kobe said coldly.
"I've already prepared the pool party, you know, do you want me to prepare two girls for you?" Lao Wang joked casually.
"this?"
Thinking of the pool parties arranged by K after every championship the Suns and Lakers won, and those wonderful moments, Kobe was instantly moved.
"Is this tempting? What the hell, I heard that you have had a lot of gossip in the past two years, boy, be careful if you make a problem and it will be difficult to deal with it." Old Wang scolded with a smile.
"Old K, don't try to disturb my army's morale." Kobe reacted, and immediately threw away the colorful things in his mind.
"Hehe, you are messing around outside, Vanessa has been cheated by you many times, right? I think you will cause big problems sooner or later." Old Wang said.
"Where?"
Kobe denied it, and asked cautiously: "Old K, did Vanessa complain to you?"
"I X, Kobe, you really **** outside and got caught by Vanessa?" Old Wang scolded.
"Old K, you lied to me?" Kobe said angrily.
"If you don't call yourself, you're going to be doomed!" Old Wang said.
"Snapped!"
Kobe cut through the mess quickly and hung up the phone directly, so as not to be tricked by the old K for more things.
That night, Dayao led the Nets to defeat the Pistons at home and won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
On the 18th, ABC TV morning news suddenly exposed a news about Kobe.
"Kobe, did you hurt your knee?" Old Wang happened to see the news while having breakfast, and immediately called Kobe.
"Well, yes, there are some minor problems, not serious. After the playoffs, I am going to have a minor operation." Kobe said after hesitating.
"A word of advice, Kobe, if you play too much outside, your legs will become weak, and weak legs will increase the probability of injury, you know." Old Wang said.
"Old K, don't talk nonsense." Kobe said anxiously.
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes, you idiot! Also, don't over-train, just do it properly." Lao Wang cursed and persuaded.
"I have the numbers."
Kobe said a little bluntly.
Both of them were eating breakfast, then hung up the phone.
Over there, Kobe put down the phone and reached out to touch his knees, feeling a little annoyed.
There are two important reasons for his knee injury, one is over-training, and the other is excessive weight gain.
He has a dream to catch up with Jordan, so he hopes to increase his dominance on the outside.
The best way to increase dominance is to gain weight. With stronger strength and larger tonnage, his iron mountain will definitely increase in power. No problem, so after the All-Star Game he gained weight without telling K.
Soon his tonnage increased from 99 kg to 103 kg, which did increase his dominance on the perimeter, but it also made his knees exceed the load, leading to injuries.
In the afternoon, there was already a sea of people outside the Meixi Arena, not only locals, but also fans from nearby cities gathered here.
In the evening, the entrance of the arena opened, and the sea of people began to pour into the arena along the eight entrances.
The Lakers' bus also entered the parking lot at this time. Instead of training in the American West Arena, they rented the basketball stadium of the University of Arizona.
Buckley and Kenny Smith were waiting in the parking lot with the camera team. As soon as the bus arrived, several people rushed over.
"Hey Kobe."
"Hey, Charles, Kenny."
Kobe was the first to leave the field, and several people greeted each other.
Then O'Neill came down and greeted him again.
"Kobe, is the ABC TV report true? Your knee is really hurt? Oh, Kobe, you are too mean, why don't you give me the news, why give it to ABC?"
Barkley ignored Kobe's increasingly gloomy face, and shouted with a smile.
Kobe didn't say a word, and walked around Barkley.
"Shaq, what about him?"
Barkley finally realized this, pulled O'Neill and asked in a low voice.
O'Neill shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know.
"He really hurt his knee?" Barkley asked again.
O'Neal nodded and said, "There are some problems. I don't know the specific situation. During this time, he has to apply ice packs on his knees after training every day, and he also invited an acupuncturist from the K Times Club."
"How's the status?" Barkley asked again.
"The state is not bad, Kobe's willpower is very strong, like Michael, he is a real iron man!" O'Neill said with some admiration.
"What about you, how is your condition?" Barkley asked again.
"I?"
O'Neill raised his arms, showed his strong biceps, and shouted: "I'm going to crush that old K guy this time, and I'm going to do what I say..."
Buckley lost his voice: "You haven't suffered enough, and you want to rub him on the floor?"
O'Neill stared with small eyes, dissatisfied: "Charles, what are you talking about, what do you mean I haven't suffered enough? Tonight is the night of my revenge."
After speaking, he angrily knocked Barkley away and left.
Barkley was caught off guard and almost fell, and couldn't help cursing: "O'Neill, you kid is only qualified to make cat food for the old K's family."
"what?"
O'Neill was furious, turned around and rushed over with his teeth and claws.
Barkley was completely unafraid, threw the microphone in his hand to Kenny Smith, and immediately hugged O'Neill together, and soon passed a powerful hug and throw, put the big shark on the ground, and then rode directly on it.
"Damn it, I wasn't ready, this time it doesn't count, let's do it again, you let me get up first." O'Neill was pressed on his body, struggling and shouting depressingly.
"Boy, it's the same if you start over a hundred times. You were my donkey in your last life, so accept your fate. You only have the fate of being ridden by me." Barkley roared.
"Ha ha…"
Kenny Smith squatted on the floor laughing.
A group of Lakers players and the management coaching staff also laughed helplessly, and several staff members hurried forward to pull Barkley away and rescue O'Neal.
