NBA Backer King

   Chapter 294 Dive Bombing

Barkley's contribution to winning the championship in 1993 is indeed great, but in the series of the finals, if there is no old K's extraordinary performance, he will definitely not be able to beat the Bulls, and this time, old K led the Suns to the finals. the finals.

The current Suns is said to be a dual-core inside and outside, but in fact, as his state declines, the strength of the old K improves, the team is completely dominated by low-post tactics, part of his organizational functions have been shared by the old K, and the outer core is weakened. The team has virtually formed a single core.

  Especially in the upcoming finals, under the deterrence of the Bulls' strong perimeter defense, his outer core role will be further weakened, and the old K's core will be more prominent.

  Thinking of this, he decided to do one thing, so he went to the old K.

   "Kevin?"

  Pharaoh was a little surprised when he heard the lightning let him go to the finale.

   "Whether it is on the court or in the locker room, old K, you are already the real leader of this team, go there." Kevin Johnson said seriously.

  Pharaoh thought for a second, then nodded, shook hands with Kevin Johnson, hugged, and then high-fived with Dan Marley and the others behind, and came to the back.

   He is not pretentious, the replacement of old and new is just like this. In the past, he only respected Lightning, but now Lightning takes the initiative to give way, he will not pretend to be humble.

  Dan Marley and others also agree with this change. As Kevin Johnson said, Old K has become the real leader of this team both off the court and in the locker room this season.

  The five starters of the Bulls watched the Suns make this change when they were on the court. Some sighed that the Suns' locker room would be too stable? This is a piece of iron!

As far as their Bulls locker room is concerned, there are actually some hidden dangers. When Grant was there, he had the best relationship with Pippen. He has always had a bad relationship with Jordan, otherwise he would not leave the Bulls. The atmosphere was better, but not as good as the Suns. Jordan and Phil Jackson had a bad relationship with GM Krause.

  Jordan looked at the old K standing opposite and suddenly said, "Old K, I heard that you will go to the Lakers next season?"

   "Bullshit!"

  Pharaoh immediately denied, is this old braised egg trying to mess up the Suns' psychology before the war?

   But he didn't care, because he had already talked to Kevin Johnson and the others about this matter. Everyone in the Suns knew that the finals were the most important thing, and the future would be dealt with later.

And the Suns also know that he is most likely to stay. As long as Mr. Colangelo can give him a big contract, he will stay 100%, and Mr. Colangelo is not a stingy person. , is not a person without courage.

He walked for a walk, approached Jordan, looked down at the old braised egg with fierce eyes, and said disdainfully: "Old guy, if you want a dynasty, why don't you come to the Suns. I heard that you are only one year old. The contract is over, come to the Suns, I will give you a dynasty to take."

  Jordan was **** off. I was going to hug your thighs because I was afraid your thighs weren't thick enough.

   At this time, the DJ music played outside, the lights dimmed, two bright spotlights hit the exit, and the visiting team was about to play.

   "The audience in front of the TV, the fans at the scene, the NBA 94/95 season finals..."

   The excited voice of the live host resounded outside.

  The first to appear is Kevin Johnson, followed by Dan Marley, Drexler, AC Green, and finally Wang Tiejun.

  The United Center Arena is not polite. Since the lightning appearance, the huge boos began to sweep the arena. When Pharaoh finally appeared, it reached the highest tide.

   "Wang Tiejun helped the team win the championship in the first final of his rookie season. This is the first time he led the team to the final as a core. We hereby wish him another championship."

   On the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly and excitedly.

   Far on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Fengshen Street in the capital, this high-end commercial street that has everything ready and only owes its owner, is already full of people today.

Because more and more fans often appear on this street this year, Fengshen Street has not yet opened, and its popularity is very high. It has become the capital's basketball base. Play on the basketball court or watch a Suns game together.

  For their own promotion, the shop owners have placed TV sets outside the storefronts since the playoffs began.

  From the morning, countless basketball fans poured into this 330-meter-long commercial pedestrian street.

   In addition to the street, the basketball courts in the back are also the same. Bai Changsheng also installed a lot of TV sets for fans to watch.

   He and those shop owners understand that the more attention Fengshen Street gets, the better the development will be. Regardless of whether these fans have the ability to spend here, as long as they can attract attention now is the best.

  Chicago United Center, the game is about to start.

   After Wang Tiejun came out, he greeted his teammates again, and then greeted all the stars on the sidelines.

Now is not the time in 1993. At that time, he was still a standard rookie, and there were not many stars who supported him. Now he is a superstar, even a superstar. Not only some sports superstars on the scene are willing to support him, plus CAA With the influence of K Wuguan, many Hollywood stars on the scene are also willing to support him.

   But Jordan's influence is indeed huge, it can be said to be far more than him. He has the support of some stars from all walks of life, but Jordan has the support of almost all stars, including the part of the stars who support him.

   "Hello, old K."

   "Hello, Mr. Chenglong..."

   Yu Feihong's introduction, he met Chenglong and others.

   "Old K, I'm Mike Robert. I'm your big fan. Nice to meet you." Mike Robert said excitedly.

   "It's nice to meet you too." Old Wang said with a smile.

   "Old K, can you sign your name?"

"certainly."

  McRobert took out the prepared pen, pulled up the No. 33 Suns away jersey he was wearing, and asked Wang Tiejun to sign a name. He was so happy that he was no different from an ordinary fan.

  …

   At 8:28, the players stood up from the bench and were ready to play.

   In front of the Suns bench, everyone gathered around Wang Tiejun and put their hands together.

   He looked around at everyone and shouted: "Brothers, we have worked hard for a season, and now it's the last moment, it's time to harvest victory and honor..."

   Having said this, he suddenly raised his volume and shouted with all his might: "For the championship, let's fight!"

   "For the championship! For the championship..."

   Everyone shouted in unison, and the few Suns fans in the United Center also shouted with all their might.

   "Shhh!"

   In order to suppress the momentum and morale of the visiting team, the Bulls fans did not hesitate at all, and the crazy boos sounded, which completely drowned the voice of the Suns in an instant.

   "Championship! Championship..."

   But the voice of the Suns, like the cry of a petrel in a storm, although it is weak, it always exists and has not been extinguished.

   From this moment on, the battle between the Bulls and the Suns has officially started.

  Wang Tiejun led his team onto the court, turned his head and shouted to O'Neal sitting off the court, "Fat man, I'll teach you how to win a bull."

   "You won is also the reason for the lineup." O'Neal said unconvinced.

  Pharaoh laughed, and did not object to this sentence, the Suns' lineup is indeed stronger than the Magic.

   Ten seconds later, Su Qun shouted: "The ball is jumping! Alright, the Suns attack."

   All the others pulled away, Wang Tiejun forcefully squeezed away Clifford Roxumbin who was blocking him, and ran from the top of the arc to the high basket.

   Outside, when Kevin Johnson got close to the center line, Jordan got in front of him.

   On the left wing, Drexler moves in the area close to the left line, and Pippen faces him.

   Right flank, Dan Marley's range is also close to the right line.

  AC Green's active position is in the short right corner, near the bottom right corner. Toni Kukoc, who is opposite him, put him two meters away and guarded a position not far outside the paint area.

  Jordan leaned down, his feet followed the advance of lightning, and he retreated and defended. His fierce and firm eyes revealed his defensive attitude.

  TNT commentary, Marv Albert said: "The Suns are very open, and it is very difficult for the Bulls to double-team on the outside. This will test the Bulls' single defense ability."

   At this time, Wang Tiejun has quickly entered the basket, Kerry chooses to go around, and he can only choose to go around.

  He is the height and tonnage of a power forward, as well as the mobility of a power forward. His style of play is also a space-type inside line. He is 208 cm tall and has a tonnage of 110 kg.

   Such a tonnage can only be used to defend Wang Tiejun.

   In terms of movement ability, now he is no faster than Wang Tiejun, and his jumping is the same, even not as good as Wang Tiejun, he just jumped the ball as high as Pharaoh.

   With such athletic ability and physical conditions, facing Wang Tiejun in the basket, in fact, the effect of going around the front will not be very good.

Therefore, Kevin Johnson, who had not yet approached the top of the arc, did not hesitate. Seeing that Old K was just approaching the basket, when Jordan slowly stepped back, he suddenly dribbled the ball to the right, and after attracting Jordan's center of gravity, a back move, left hand Pull the ball up from behind, push forward with one hand, and the ball flies towards the basket.

   "Pass it!"

   Zhang Lili gave a loud shout.

"Snapped!"

  Wang Tiejun snapped his right elbow into place, pushed Kerry firmly outside, then took off, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed the ball with his backhand.

"boom!"

  As the basket trembled, the basketball went down through the basket.

"yeah!"

   On the Suns bench, all the bench players, staff, and coaching staff cheered, and hundreds of Suns fans cheered.

   "Clap..."

   Many celebrities from all walks of life also applauded.

   "This can't win the Bulls. I played this way every game in the Eastern Conference Finals, and I still lost in the end." O'Neal muttered.

   "Beautiful! Old K played a lob with Lightning on the first ball." Su Qun exclaimed excitedly.

   "The Bulls can't defend against the Tiejun, as long as the ball can get in, they can't really defend!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

  “Yeeeeees!”

  The moment the goal was scored, on the TNT commentary stand, Groom Albert excitedly shouted out his signature commentary. He could express various meanings and emotions through this simplest word.

Kevin Harlan said: "As we said last night, the Bulls can suppress the Bulls' perimeter offense and even destroy the Suns' perimeter organization, but it is impossible to cut off the connection between the Suns' inner and outer lines. No team can do that. This, the attack just now proved it."

  Albert said excitedly: "Yes, if the Bulls lose the game, it can only be that they can't stop the old K's attack in the low post."

  The Bulls were attacking, BJ was advancing with the ball, Kevin Johnson was defending, and as soon as he crossed the center line, he handed the ball to Pippen on the left-wing 3-point line.

  Triangle tactics, three on the strong side, two on the weak side, two on the low, three on the high and two wings.

  The three on the strong side form a triangle, one in the low position, one near the top of the arc, and one on the three-point line.

   Then, whether it is the one at the top of the arc or the one in the low position, it can also form a triangle formation with the two on the weak side, and through constant movement, new triangles are continuously formed.

  Through these triangles, the Bulls can not only move the ball and distribute the offense quickly, but also can pull the opponent's defense force, making it unable to form an effective double-team force.

  The two people on the weak side must have high mobility, and through frequent moves and pick-and-rolls, they can obtain opportunities for open positions or singles.

   Before the Jordan Law, Jordan was generally on the strong side and everyone else was on the weak side, letting him play singles.

   After that, he was generally on the weak side, and with his high mobility, he had the opportunity to run out of open positions or singles, and this time it was the same.

   The strong side is Clifford Robinson, who is pulled to the left block, which is close to the bottom corner of the bottom line, and is defended by Pharaoh.

  Pippen was at 45 degrees on the left-wing 3-point line, guarded by Dan Marley.

  BJ was at the top of the arc, and Kevin Johnson didn't dare to let him go. His three-pointer was the most accurate for the Bulls.

   These three form a triangle on the strong side. All three can pass the ball, all three can shoot threes, and none of them can be released.

Phil Jackson's only dissatisfaction with this strong-side triangle is that Clifford Robinson does not have a strong low-post attack ability. The three points of the triangle are all on the outside. Although the ability to pull is stronger, it is also farther from the basket. , which is not in line with his principle of advocating CIC.

   In fact, he is a head coach who doesn't like three-pointers, but the appearance of the two giants, Old K and O'Neal, forced him to make a change.

   And the Bulls can't find a strong post player, they can only find Clifford Robinson, and he can only make the best use of it.

   On the weak side at this point, Jordan and Toni Kukoc are running and trying to get open through pick-and-rolls.

  Pippen got the ball, Clifford Robinson suddenly retreated to the left bottom corner, and the former also immediately passed the ball to the left bottom corner.

  Kerry took the ball, Wang Tiejun could only keep up with one step. He used to be only one meter away from the left line of the paint area, but now he is two meters away. It is even more difficult to get back to the basket.

   At this time, on the weak side, Jordan got rid of the glider through Tony Kukoc's pick-and-roll, and got the opportunity to cut inside. AC Green quickly switched defenses, but also a beat later, he cut into the paint area.

   "Whoosh!"

   Clifford Robinson suddenly took a step up and quickly passed the ball in.

  Wang Tiejun quickly took a step up, but he didn't touch the ball. He quickly turned back to defend the basket, but it was too late.

"boom!"

   Jordan received the ball violently, and it was a tomahawk-style dunk that smashed into the Suns' basket.

"yeah!"

   There was a huge cheer from the United Center.

  The stars of all times on the sidelines also stood up and applauded.

  “yeeeees!”

  Mav Albert shouted again and said excitedly: "Beautiful! Under the triangle offense system, the open tactics match the weak side's inward cut tactics, completely breaking the Suns' defense."

   Kevin Harlan said loudly in a passionate tone: "Yes, the Bulls' offensive tactics are too clear! Through tactics, they fully mobilized the opponent's defensive strength and got the opportunity for an open layup."

In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili reminded: "Tie Jun must be careful, the ball must not be too smooth, the defense must be oppressive, proactive and aggressive, Kerry's ball just passed too much Take it easy, that's not going to work.

   The same is true for other people, try to use defense to oppress the opponent's space for the ball, the speed of the ball, and the movement. "

  On the court, the Suns are advancing.

   Before Kevin Johnson reached the center line, he transferred the ball to Drexler on the left wing.

   At this time, Wang Tiejun reached the low position on the left wing, and Clifford Robinson still circled forward. He made a gesture to the glider, and the latter hurriedly passed the ball down.

The position of the    pass is not a low post on the left wing, but a little bit inside, close to the basket.

   At the moment when the glider passed the ball, Wang Tiejun turned around fiercely and quickly cut to the basket.

   At the same time as he turned and cut in, his right elbow was stuck outside, preventing Kerry from chasing and defending, and his right hand pressed Kerry when he turned around.

   These are some of the experiences he has gathered over the past three seasons. The results are good, and they are good for offense and offensive rebounds.

   Sure enough, Kerry wanted to catch up, but was pressed on his stomach. With Wang Tiejun's strength, he pressed him directly, and he could only watch his opponent smash into the paint area.

   Kukoc on the weak side returned to defense as fast as he could, taking off and blocking.

   But his jumping is not as good as Wang Tiejun's, plus the huge difference in height and wingspan, the defensive height is a lot different, and it is only Wang Tiejun's elbow.

"boom!"

   Under a diving single-arm dunk, the 105-kilogram Kukoc was directly hit and sunk in the air, and fell to the basket like a bird with broken wings.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle blew.

  “yeees!”

Marv Albert roared excitedly: "The Suns played a simple and clear tactic, the ball moved very fast, and they clearly didn't want to give the Bulls a chance to defend. ability for."

  Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "Whether it's Jordan or Pippen, although they are the top perimeter defenders, they can't stop the passing of the Lightning and the glider."

Albert nodded and smiled and said: "Lightning and Glider are not trivial people. The former was a top point guard in the peak period, and the latter is still a superstar. They have too much experience in playing. In a one-on-one situation, there's no way to stop them."

On the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "The Bulls' inside defense is too weak, with the current low-post defense intensity, the Tiejun's offense doesn't consume much physical energy at all, and he can keep playing until the Bulls cry. "

  Su Qun said with a smile: "No matter how strong the other positions are, as long as one point is always destroyed by the opponent, there is no way to do it, it will be very uncomfortable."
