NBA Backer King

   Chapter 305 Sweeping the finals?

   On the CCTV commentary booth, Su Qun roared excitedly: "Congratulations to the old K, congratulations to the Suns, they have won two away games, and now the victory is in hand, the next three home games, I believe the championship is not far away."

   "It's not easy to win today!"

Zhang Lili sighed and said, "Actually, I believe that the Suns had no intention of winning today after the Tiejun made three fouls in the first quarter, but the Tiejun was not intimidated by the three fouls. Instead, he played under huge pressure. A most exciting game.

   All I can say is that the Bulls have not been able to win games in this situation, proving that the Suns are really strong and deserved to win the championship this season. Even, I do not rule out the possibility of the Suns sweeping the Bulls. "

   "Is it possible that the bull will be swept?"

  TNT commentary, Albert asked a question.

   This question made countless Bulls fans sad, and many fans in front of the TV in Chicago even cried. They simply could not accept that Jordan was swept in the finals.

Then, Kevin Harlan said: "This is the fifth time Michael Jordan has entered the finals. He has won three championships in the first four times, and the only time he lost to Barkley's Suns. Not swept away.

   But it was the Finals, and he was swept in the playoffs, twice. "

Albert nodded: "Jordan's Bulls met Larry Bird's Celtics six times in the playoffs. That was Bird's era. He faced Bird and the playoffs had zero winning percentages. , lost six times and never won, including swept in the first round in both seasons 85/86 and 86/87."

  Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "If it is swept by the old K's Suns this time, it doesn't seem to be a big news."

  Albert said solemnly: "No, no, no, when he was brutally abused by Bird, neither Jordan nor the Bulls were mature yet. Now it is different, it will be a big news.

  If Old K can really sweep Jordan, then he will become a supergiant among the supergiants, and may even challenge Jordan's status in the league and basketball.

   And if Jordan gets swept, his reputation will take a big hit, that's for sure, he's no longer an invincible image. "

   nodded, and Kevin Harlan read out the stats of Jordan and Wang Tiejun.

  Jordan, 48 minutes of playing time, 13 of 27 shots, 48.2% from the field, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 18 of 19 penalties, 45 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 7 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.

  Wang Tiejun, 44 minutes of playing time, 22 of 27 shots, 81.4% from the field, 6 of 12 free throws, scored 50 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, 9 turnovers and 5 fouls.

   Then Kevin Harlan said: "Congratulations to old K for making history, you are the first person to get 50+ in a single game for the second time in the finals."

  Albert also sent his congratulations, and then analyzed: "Jordan performed very well tonight, but with such a performance, why did he still lose the game?

   First, rebounds, the Suns have 48, the Bulls have only 38, 10 less, this is 10 possessions.

  The Suns have a total of 18 offensive rebounds, while the Bulls have only 12 offensive rebounds. In terms of secondary offense, the Suns have an advantage. "

Kevin Harlan continued: "The second is low-post offense. The Bulls are very few, accounting for 19%, less than 20%, all of which are breakthroughs from the outside. The inside players rarely participate in the offense, or Kerry is shooting outside. That's not a low post attack.

   On the contrary, the Suns' low-post offense ratio is as high as 46%, which is the result of Green pulling out a jumper. "

  Albert continued: "Of course, the Bulls also have their own strengths, with only 8 turnovers, as many as 21 for the Suns, 11 steals, and only 6 for the Suns.

  To put these aspects together, the Bulls have more ball possession than the Suns, taking as many as 75 shots with 10 fewer rebounds, while the Suns have only 70.

   However, under the influence of the low-post offense ratio, the result is that in terms of overall offense, the Bulls' hit rate is only 46%, while the Suns are as high as 54%. The final result is that the Bulls lost the game.

It can also be said that when the Bulls lost the game, they lost at the point of old K. All other positions won. The outside defense and outside attack were better than the Suns, but in the low post, they were overwhelmed. Thoroughly. "

   On the CCTV commentary table, Su Qun said happily: "G1 scored 57 points against Lao K, and this time it was another 50 points. In two occasions, he scored 107 points, averaging 53.5 points per game, which is amazing!"

   Zhang Lili also laughed excitedly: "No way, who made the Bulls' defense in the interior too weak, and who made them injured one by one?

   To be honest, the insider opponents are so weak, and the Iron Army can't score 50+ points per game, which is not good for his strength. "

   "Haha..." The two of them couldn't help laughing.

   Zhang Lili smiled and said seriously: "In the final analysis, it is the Tiejun who is too strong in the low position to rely on fighting. He is really the invincible backing king!"

Speaking of this, he was somewhat worried: "Although the Suns have a huge advantage in hand, the Tiejun has two consecutive away games that are explosive, and their physical energy must be consumed a lot. Next, pay attention to rest, so as not to affect the performance due to lack of physical fitness. "

   "Director Zhang, the five players you mentioned last time hit 50+ in a single game in the finals, did any of them hit 50+ in the finals for the second time?" Su Qun asked curiously.

   When Zhang Heli heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "That's impossible, once is amazing enough, no one can do it twice."

  Su Qun was shocked and excitedly said: "So old K made history at the same time this time?"

   Zhang Lili said happily: "Yes, he is the only person who scored 50+ in a single game for the second time in the finals, and in the same series. This is his dominance!

Don't say that the opponent is too weak, because luck is also a kind of strength. It is possible that the Iron Army will never be able to perform like this in the finals in the future, but these two 50+ data are played, and they are there. Now, that is his history and glory. "

  Su Qun asked again with interest: "Director Zhang, did anyone get two 50+ in the playoffs?"

   Zhang Lili smiled and said, "This is true. In the playoffs of the 87/88 season, the Bulls played against the Cavaliers, and Jordan scored 50+ consecutive shots in back-to-back series."

   "Back to back 50+? Too strong!" Su Qun couldn't help sighing.

   On the sidelines, a group of Suns players were being interviewed on the spot. The Bulls players did not accept the interview and went back to the locker room, but the reporters did not stop them.

  The nearly 20,000 Bulls fans at the scene were extremely disappointed. They lost two consecutive home games. Is there any hope of recovering this finals? I'm afraid that no matter how optimistic people are, they don't have much confidence. What's more, as long as they see the invincible beast, they despair.

   "Old K, are you considering sweeping the Bulls now?" asked a TNT reporter.

   Lao Wang laughed twice, pulled up his jersey and wiped his sweat, and said: "I said, the most important thing is to win the championship, not to sweep, but if we can sweep and win the championship, we will definitely fight for it."

   "So you have the confidence to get the sweep?" the reporter asked.

   "With the remaining lineup of the Bulls, I am humbly saying that a sweep is an inevitable result, and they can't stop our victory." He said unceremoniously.

   "Do you have anything to say about today's penalty? I saw that you said something to the referee after you made three offenses in the first quarter, and you seemed very angry at that time." The reporter asked again.

"Well, yeah, three consecutive offensive fouls in less than half a quarter, I've been in the league for three seasons, it's something I've never experienced, and from that point on, I knew I had to control myself, and then I Say to the gentleman, ok, sir, I will bind my hands and feet so that I can't score." Old Wang said solemnly.

   "Puff!"

   Some people couldn't help but laugh.

   "So old K, what do you think of this bull?" The reporter asked again.

   "Jordan is still so good, there's no denying it."

  Pharaoh first affirmed Jordan's performance, and then said: "But their lineup configuration is not targeted to our team.

   Let’s start from the beginning. Clifford Robinson and Kukoc, the two starting insiders, their ability to defend me. If I’m not polite, I can completely ignore their defensive ability.

  After Kukoc was injured, they lost their opening tactics, and our control of rebounding, the ability to protect the rim, and the ability to suppress the Bulls' low-post attack improved, and the balance of victory was more in favor of us.

   As for their meat shields, I want to say, don't count on them, if I can defend against a few meat shields, our team will not be able to reach the finals. "

   "Old K, some media and fans said that you hurt Kukoc on purpose, do you want to defend?" The reporter asked again.

   "Intentionally bruised?"

Lao Wang smiled and said, "No, I have nothing to defend. There is not only one Kukoc who fell at my feet, all those who tried to stop me may fall at my feet, they can't stop me They rely on playing in the low post, and their bodies can't bear the power of relying on my play, it's their ability, not mine."

   "Glider, you scored 20 points today, Jordan scored 45 points, but the Suns beat the Bulls, what do you want to say to him most now?"

Next to   , a reporter asked Drexler.

   Drexler said excitedly: "I really don't score a lot, that's because we have more efficient people to score.

  Yes, he can rule everything, he is ruling the bulls, and Michael Jordan has to bow down under him.

  I have nothing to say to him, no no no, I still have something to tell him, yes, you can't decide everything, that's what I want to tell him. "

   "Are you looking forward to sweeping?" the reporter asked again.

   "I'm so looking forward to it, we're fully capable of sweeping the Bulls next, thinking of this, oh, every cell in me is excited, yes, that's it."

  Drexler did not hide his excitement. He had been pressed on his head by Jordan for so many years. Now that he had the opportunity to breathe, he had the feeling of turning over a serf and singing.

   "Shaq, do you think the Suns have a chance to sweep the Bulls?" The reporter interviewed O'Neal.

"Maybe yes, but maybe it's hard to say for a home loss. After all, it's impossible for the old K to score the whole team. The state of others is also an important reason for winning. Especially Jordan and Pippen's defense is the top, if They really killed the Lightning, and it's hard for the Suns to win." O'Neal said fairly objectively.

   "Erwin, what do you think the Bulls need to pull back?" A reporter interviewed Magic Johnson.

   "Well, they still lack a super center."

Magic only hesitated and then expressed his thoughts: "If there is an Ewing or a big dream, David Robinson, and Clifford Robinson in the inside, the lineup will be perfect, and it is impossible for any team. beat them.

   Of course, this is probably very difficult. Three super giants who are in their prime are in one team, which is against the principle of fairness and is also very detrimental to the development of the league.

  Because a team's lineup is too strong, it will completely lose the suspense of the game, we all know they will win the championship, so the fans will also lose interest.

   Having said that, if the Bulls want to win the Suns, I think they need to change their way of building a team, they need to build a real pillar inside core, just like me and Kareem did. "

   "Karim, do you agree with Erwin's statement?" The reporter asked the sky hook Jabbar next to him.

  Jabbar nodded immediately and said, "This is the answer after our discussion, so of course I support his statement."

   Not far away, Chamberlain was being interviewed, and a reporter asked, "Wilt, what do you think of Old K's 50+ consecutive hits in the finals?"

  Chamberlain smiled: "It's surprising, yes, no one has ever done that. Of course, that's because of the rules now, it's easier to score.

  You know, in our day, it was allowed to double-team off-ball players, you had to figure out a way to break the double-team before you caught the ball, instead of facing the double-team after you caught the ball, it was definitely more difficult to score. "

  Pharaoh ended the on-site interview. When he sat back on the bench, Kevin Johnson and several other stars also ended the interview and sat down.

   Several main players were so tired that they didn't want to go back to the locker room immediately, but they were extremely excited.

   Then a bunch of league stars came over to send their congratulations, as well as many Hollywood stars.

   "Old K, I heard that the K martial arts hall is going to open a branch in Los Angeles?" Tom Cruise asked.

   "Yes, I am transferring a group of people from China who are proficient in acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine techniques. They can better serve you." Lao Wang nodded and smiled.

"That's very good. I look forward to your branch being established as soon as possible. I can introduce some high-quality VIP customers to you. Also, you know, I have been using the medicated bath for a few months, and now I feel that my energy and physical fitness are better than before. Some, not so easy to get tired? It's easy to recover from fatigue." Tom Cruise laughed.

"I also have this feeling."

   "Yes, I have it too. I take a medicated bath every time after filming or exercising. The effect is the best."

   Some of the stars under CAA also joined in.

   "Then stick to it, you will have a better experience."

  Pharaoh nodded, the physical fitness of these stars is definitely not as good as their athletes, so the effect of improving physical fitness will be better, more obvious and faster than Barkley and the others. For these stars, medicated baths are more effective and more suitable for them.

   Back in the locker room, Lao Wang and others chatted while taking a medicinal bath.

  Today's post-match summary of Westphal is in a few words, because there is really nothing to say, and the players have performed very well to win the game at the home whistle.

   "I think being traded to the Suns is the luckiest thing in my life." Drexler said with a smile.

   "It's our luck to have you join us," Kevin Johnson said.

Pharaoh nodded. Glider can consistently provide 20+ performances per game in the playoffs. The same is true for the two finals. Even in the face of Jordan's defense, he can improve the score of 20+ points, which is important to the team. Sex needs no words.

   During their chat break, David Stern was thinking about something at his home.

He had hoped that Jordan and the Bulls could successfully defend their titles this time. This Bulls lineup is very strong, but after Kukoc was reimbursed, everything was different. The terror of old K was highlighted, and the Bulls he was optimistic about actually saw Going up is a little vulnerable, and it touched him very much.

  In 1988, in view of Jordan's strong individual scoring ability, he promoted and introduced the anti-isolation singles law, the purpose is to balance the league.

   And after the introduction of the law, Jordan's personal performance was indeed affected to a certain extent.

   But things have two sides. It is thanks to this law that Jordan’s status in the league has undergone a detached change. After all, a special law has been issued for a certain player, representing the league’s recognition of this player.

  Unfortunately, after the Bulls won two consecutive championships, the dynasty of three consecutive championships was interrupted by the Suns. Otherwise, Jordan would definitely be able to consecrate the gods with the help of Jordan Law and three consecutive championships.

   And now, he felt as if it was a time when he needed some kind of balance.

The three-second zone of the year has been revised repeatedly to limit super centers like McCann George and Chamberlain. Now, he believes that a law should be introduced specifically to limit the old K, otherwise such a beast will seriously affect the league. balance and development.

  The specific rules, after thinking hard, think that the low position of the old K is the most terrifying. Even the postman's strong physique has three ribs broken, maybe it should be restricted.
