NBA Backer King

  Chapter 23 Unskilled Dunk

  Philadelphia offense.

   Hornacek ran without the ball, and after catching the ball, he threw his hand in the right wing, and was blocked in the face by Dan Marley.

  Wang Tiejun stood firmly under the basket to protect the backcourt rebound. Dan Marley quickly got down and completed a dunk after receiving a long pass from the former.

  4:0, the Suns lead.

   Coach Paul Westphal nodded. He was very satisfied with Wang Tiejun's ability to rebound in the backcourt and launch fast breaks, and his passing and receiving skills were also good.

   Playing magic, Wang Tiejun had 8 rebounds, including 7 backcourt rebounds.

But he also knows that Wang Tiejun is limited in his mobility, and the rebounding area is not large. The most secure area is the basket. As long as he stands in his position, no one can push him. The entire paint area is ok, but the paint is out. area, it won't work.

  Philadelphia offense.

  Andrew Lang pulled out of the paint to the left flank.

   His style of play is too soft, his offensive position is too wide, and he is a bit mid-range. As a center, the number of free throws in his career is only 1.6 times, which shows how resistant he is to confrontation.

  Wang Tiejun followed the defense, took two steps, and stayed on the left line of the paint area.

   However, the Philadelphia offense was not handed over to Andrew Lang. Point guard Jose Hawkins made a pull-up jumper after a breakthrough. Under the defense of Kevin Johnson, he still failed to hit the ball.

  Wang Tiejun returned to the basket in time, but the rebound was taken by the faster Barkley.

  Sun attack, positional warfare.

   Andrew Lang did not take any confrontation this time, he just went around the front. Wang Tiejun was not polite and went directly to the basket, struggling to push the former away from the basket, and then asked for the ball from the top of the arc.

  Kevin Johnson also gave face and hoisted the ball in again.

   He jumped slightly and grabbed the ball with one hand, and at this time, Andrew Lang had turned to block between him and the basket.

   But he didn't hesitate, he fought high, took off with all his strength, and dunked his hands.

   Since he entered the Suns, the team's trainer has strictly required him to let him not put the ball down after receiving the ball at the basket, and try not to dribble the ball. He began to develop this habit.

"boom!"

   In the violent sound of smashing the basket, Andrew Lang, who was dunked, fell to the ground, while the Philadelphia basket was smashed by more than a foot, as if it was about to collapse.

   "Di!"

   Amid the exclamations of the fans, the referee whistle blew, pointed at Andrew Lang, and made a hand foul gesture.

   "Old K, great job!"

  The excited Barkley ran up and had a bosom-banging celebration with Wang Tiejun.

   "Ho...ho..."

   Under the pull of his teammates, Andrew Lang gasped and got up, and walked away from Wang Tiejun for the first time. He thought he was fighting against a giant beast. As a person who didn't like confrontation, he felt too dangerous.

   On the live commentary, this brutal dunk made Roma and Venus look at each other in dismay.

After a long time, Roma explained: "The Chinese coolie completed an unskilled dunk. Yes, a fool can do it like him at the basket..."

   Having said this, he glanced at Venus, hoping that his partner would follow up on his words, and the latter also said after a murmur, "I bet that he will not get in with a penalty."

   "Sigh!"

   Water splashed.

  Wang Tiejun laughed excitedly, and actually scored a hollow ball, which made him even happier than completing a dunk.

   "Uh, it's luck."

The    voice was slapped in the face, and the commentator Venus was a little embarrassed.

   "Kevin, step up your offense around the basket."

   On the sidelines, coach Paul Westphal excitedly shouted at guard Johnson.

   "OK." Kevin Johnson nodded.

   Looking back, Jeff Hornacek made a three-pointer and hit a goal, 7:3, and Philadelphia was 4 points behind.

  The Suns attacked, and Barkley was faster and entered the paint first.

  Wang Tiejun lingered in the low position on the left wing, and did not enter the basket immediately, not only to avoid wasting attacking time in the three-second zone, but also to avoid squeezing Barkley's space for movement.

   At this time, Kevin Johnson reached the top of the arc with the ball and made a gesture of pulling away.

   In addition to pulling away from the outside, Barkley also immediately pulled to the right wing, taking away the opposing power forward Tim Perry.

   At the same time, Wang Tiejun immediately entered the basket according to the tactical requirements.

   "Andrew, hold on to that rookie, don't let him in."

   At this time, the rookie head coach of the Philadelphia Digital team, Fred Carter, threw his fists and shouted loudly on the sidelines.

   Andrew Lang, who didn't like confrontation, could only take the top defense and gave up the defensive method of going around.

   One meter into the paint area and one step away from the basket, Wang Tiejun immediately turned around, leaned his back against the defender, and opened his hand to ask for the ball to the top of the arc.

  Kevin Johnson passed the ball down, and after he received the ball with his right hand, there was probably less than one second and five left in the attacking time.

   In the case of O'Neal, a quick shark turned around so close to the basket and dunked or dropped a hook would end the offense.

  If it's a big dream, swing the defender with fantasy footwork, and then there are a hundred ways to put the ball in the basket, it's very simple for him.

   If it is another super center, each has his own way.

   But his ability to finish close to the basket is too poor, so there is only one way to continue playing with his back, continue to push horizontally to the basket, and then dunk to end the offense.

  The attack is limited by three seconds, and he only has one chance to rely on it.

   At this moment, he burst out with all his strength.

   "Boom!"

During the dribble, the foot suddenly stopped, the force rose from the ground, and between the twisting of the core muscles of the waist and abdomen, the six forces suddenly merged into one, turning into a huge hitting force, using the left shoulder and back as the attack point, and collided with it. Andrew Lang's chest.

"Uh!"

   Under the instant violent crushing, Andrew Lang's chest was smashed, and under the sharp compression of the gas in the chest, a shrieking sound passively emanated from his throat.

   And his body fell in response to the sound, and fell heavily on the floor.

   At this moment, the basketball bounced off the floor, Wang Tiejun grabbed it with a big hand, and before turning around, strode over Andrew Lang's body, and then his body became violent.

"boom!"

  Between the one-handed dunks, the entire basket trembled, as if it had been greatly frightened.

"Oh!"

   The audience exclaimed, and then fell into a dead silence.

   All Philadelphia fans were staring at the behemoth hanging above the basket. The powerful sense of oppression came from that beast, and the invisible sense of oppression was pressing on their hearts, making them breathless.

   "Old K, one day, you will become our super center." On the court, Barkley rushed over and roared excitedly.

   "Rookie, you will still receive my pass, get ready." Kevin Johnson also shouted excitedly.

  Wang Tiejun raised his chest and raised his head, "looking down" at Philadelphia's home stadium, a self-confidence rose in his heart, which was irresistible.

   Against a center like Andrew Lang, and against O'Neal, the feeling between the two is completely different.

   Against O'Neal, apart from containing O'Neal and draining his physical strength, he has no advantage, and both ends of the offense and defense are blown up.

   Even though he reduced the opponent's efficiency and helped the team a lot, he actually felt a great sense of frustration in his heart.

   This frustration stems from O’Neal’s crushing of his talent, and the difference in data is too great.

   And against a blue-collar center like Andrew, he felt that he had an advantage in the low post, even if his other skills were not good, just relying on a low-post back to play with one hand was enough to solve such a blue-collar center.

   This advantage immediately gave him a self-confidence based on the NBA.

   Under Wang Tiejun's feet, Andrew Lang was breathing in pain. He felt that his right chest had collapsed, and there was a faint smell of blood between his breaths.

   With the help of teammate Tim Perry, he stood up, and then immediately gestured to the bench for a substitution, he was dead.

   "Shet!"

   Coach Fred Carter scolded, asked for a timeout, then turned and stared at the bench, not knowing who to send.

   All the insiders of the digital team, from the main force to the backup, center Andrew Lang has the largest tonnage, and he can't hold the giant beast a few times. Who can hold it? And what he needs now is a meat shield that can carry that giant beast.

   On the live commentary table, the two commentators swallowed hard, but they were a little speechless.

  Rom said for a long time: "I have to admit that his back-to-back fight is too brutal, it's really too brutal! No wonder O'Neal can't stand his back-to-back fight."

   "It seems that after O'Neal fought with him, he immediately called a truce. It should be because of too much physical consumption!"

  Venus nodded, and then added: "As far as I know, in the history of the league, for decades, no super center has ever played with his back like him."

  Rome nodded and said, "Even Shaq O'Neal, the rookie champion who just debuted this season, doesn't have such a violent and brutal back.

   But in fact, his back-to-back is just powerful, and his technical content is very low. "

   "Yes yes, no technology."

  Venus quickly agreed, thought for a while and said, "We need to trade a meat shield in, all our insiders look too thin in front of him."

   "Yes, I think so too." Rom nodded.

The   Digital team finally sent Almon Gilliam as a substitute inside, who can play at positions 4 and 5, 206 cm and only 105 kg in tonnage.

Gilliam is not a trivial person. He is nicknamed the Hammer. He was the second overall pick by the Suns in 1987. David Robinson and Pippen's show in the same year has the best athletic ability. He scored 15+8 in his rookie season. The rebounding ability and performance are good, and he belongs to a star player, but in his third season, he was seriously injured and only played 16 games. His performance, potential, and player value declined seriously, so he was traded to the Hornets.

In the 1990/91 season, he was traded to Philadelphia again. Last season, he partnered with Barkley on the inside, and again played a quasi-All-Star statistic of 17+8 as the main center. Unfortunately, due to injuries this season, he entered the bench lineup, playing time. and performance are greatly compromised.

   In fact, he would have been an All-Star without the injury, but the recurring injuries ruined him.

   And even more terrifying, in 2011, he died suddenly in an amateur game.

   "Hey, Almon."

   The timeout ended, the game started, Gilliam came on, and Barkley came over with a smile and extended his hand.

   "Hey, Charles."

  Gilliam smiled and gave a high five.

  The game begins, Philadelphia attacks.
