Chapter 345 I despise them
With the start of the official training camp, the teams began to enter the atmosphere of the new season.
On the 26th, news came from the Magic that O'Neal accidentally injured the tendon of his left knee during team training and needed to be sidelined for at least 20 games.
This news immediately caused media speculation.
"O'Neal's playing style is more flexible than the old K, but he was injured earlier. Does this mean that the Magic swing between him and Penny Hardaway is a correct attitude?" The New York Times.
"Two beasts, the more aggressive old K has not yet suffered an injury, but O'Neal's knee is injured, which shows that the old K is more resistant to injuries, what kind of consideration will the Magic make? This is a question. ." Los Angeles Journal.
There is still a lot of news like this. To be a behemoth that can compete with the old K, and it is O'Neal's contract year. His every move is very concerned by the media.
"Damn the media, I was accidentally injured, what does this mean?"
O'Neal was very annoyed after being injured. He knew his body very well, his coordination and flexibility were top-notch, and he was not easily injured. critical knee.
Fortunately, the injury is not serious, no surgery is required, and there will be no hidden dangers.
At this time, the phone rang. When he saw that it was from Old K, he became a little irritable. Is this **** here to laugh at him?
"Hello, old K, I'm fine, you don't need to comfort me." After connecting, he said first.
"Who comforts you, I'm just asking you, have you entered the VIP of the K martial arts hall and have purchased VIP services many times?" Pharaoh asked.
"Ten times, that thing is too expensive. One thousand dollars for a medicated bath, two thousand dollars for a medicated oil massage, and a massage therapist for at least ten days. Ten days is five thousand dollars. Old K, you are really a vampire." O'Neal complained.
"You idiot, do you need a massage therapist for no money? Airfare, hotel, food and drink, everything costs money, you only invite me for one day, can I not lose money? Why don't you hire an exclusive massage therapist and pack more Cheaper." Old Wang cursed.
O'Neill was at a loss for words and asked angrily, "Why are you calling me?"
"Don't do anything, sell the medicated oil massage service, haha!" Lao Wang hung up the phone after laughing.
"damn it!"
O'Neal turned pale with anger, gritted his teeth, dialed the phone number of the New York branch of K Martial Arts Hall, appointed an exclusive massage therapist for a month, and purchased a month's worth of medicated oil and medicated bath packs.
Now, the exclusive massage therapists in K Martial Arts Hall are subdivided into two types. There are yearly and the cheapest, one hundred thousand dollars a year, and monthly, 12,000 a month.
As for O'Neal's original dispatch, it was a temporary dispatch, five hundred dollars a day, the most expensive, and at least ten days each time.
"My money!"
After the phone call, the old K earned $100,000. O'Neal was so distressed that it hurt more than his knees.
…
After a few days of training within the team, the Suns showed a good side and some bad sides.
Lightning Kevin Johnson's state should be said to be not bad, even better than at the beginning of last season. In the case of the team's weakened perimeter strength, this is a very positive signal for the team. The team's offensive engine is still in the fuel tank. There is oil.
Another good situation is that the old K is more powerful. When a monster with faster movement and more flexible low-position attack appears in front of everyone, it is a kind of surprise and shock.
Pharaoh also showed the team a bit of mid-range shooting and rebounding skills. Although the hit rate is not very high when facing the defense, it also means that he has a certain ability to pull off, which can create greater opportunities for outside breakthroughs. Opportunity and space.
Although the team's outside line has weakened, the Lightning has maintained a good state, and the rookie Michael Finley also has a certain breakthrough ability. More importantly, Wilkins, who mainly focuses on breakthrough play, will get more on the weak side. Opportunity.
On the downside, the team lacks the ability to shoot long distances from the outside. Compared with last season, the ability to pull out has a big decline. This has a considerable impact on Lao Wang's low-post attack, and it will also make the team's breakthrough more difficult. .
In addition, Wilkins is almost 36 years old after all, and his form is not at his peak. According to observation, he can play at most 30 to 32 minutes. This is still in good form. As far as the Suns are concerned, it is a very unfriendly news.
At the same time, Robert Horry, who will be entrusted with important tasks in the new season, is once again a disappointment. During the training these days, he did not show a better competitive state than last season, and his hit rate was even worse than last season.
Pharaoh doesn't believe Horry's statement that he has been training more in the offseason. His show of the same year is only suitable for playing off the bench. He can't afford the main role at all, and the shooting rate in the open space is too low.
Although Horry is mentally stable and shoots one or two key **** accurately, what he wants is not a teammate who can shoot key balls, but a teammate who can continue to make contributions for at least 35 minutes. The opponents are solved in the previous time, and they do not like to delay the victory to the last minute.
The rookie Mike Leigh Finley is in good shape in training. The strength he has shown makes the team quite satisfied. The offensive efficiency is higher than Horry, and the defense is okay. He has shown his potential and certain immediate combat power. This year's draft for the Suns should not fail.
It's just that his weakness is also very clear. His ability to hold the ball and break through is not enough. This weakness makes him shoot the most three-pointers and two-pointers from the far side. His offense is too wide, and his offense at the basket and the near two-pointer are too few. Not much, because if you can't break through, your mistakes will increase when you break through.
Fortunately, Wilkins can break through, so the coaching staff arranged Finley and Wang Tiejun to be on the wing, responsible for pulling away, playing off the ball, being a pitcher, and developing towards a 3D type.
In this way, Kevin Johnson is the only person in the three perimeter who can attack with the ball. His responsibilities and functions far exceed last season, and the pressure on him is very high.
He is also fortunate that he has practiced in the offseason in order to play a good contract year, otherwise the state of the last season will definitely not be able to bear this responsibility.
In a management meeting with the coaching staff, Westphal said: "One, two and three, Finley and Wilkins don't have much ball-handling ability, we only have the Lightning's ball-handling ability, and his current Although the state is maintained well, but the age is there.
So I think next year's draft should focus on the perimeter with the ability to handle the ball, a point guard who can pass the ball and a long shot, a shooting guard or a small forward with the ability to handle the ball and a long shot, and they also have Good defensive awareness, only then can we compete with the Bulls. "
His words were taken seriously by Little Colangelo.
When each team gradually entered the state, the major media also became active and carried out various analyses of the situation in the new season.
The host of TNT's NBA channel said in his program: "The East should still be dominated by the Bulls, and the lineup has not changed much. The joining of Rodman, the flower bug, is not good or bad at present, and he may still destroy the Bulls. atmosphere.
In that case, it's going to be difficult for the shaky Bulls in the locker room to have a competitive season the following season.
But if the Bulls can fix Rodman's problems, they will have a stronger season than last season, and their chances of winning the championship will be higher than last season. "
Then he said: "The Magic and the Knicks belong to the second team in the East, but it is difficult for them to launch an impact on the Bulls and cannot form a real threat."
The Knicks' lineup has not changed. Its competitiveness is similar to last season. Whether it encounters the Bulls or the Magic, it will suffer.
And the Magic, their management is indecisive, so far they have not made a decisive choice between O'Neal and Hardaway, and this will undoubtedly blow and hurt the behemoth O'Neal's heart, and even leave other teams. Opportunity to dig people, after this season's contract ends, whether he will stay in the Magic, I have a lot of doubts.
As far as the new season is concerned, the Magic's lineup is not strong enough, and Hardaway still needs time to grow, so the Magic can't pose a threat to the Bulls. If they encounter the Bulls in the playoffs, the outcome should be bleak.
Also about O'Neal, good guy, this guy who is not interested in training and likes hamburgers and cokes, actually did extra training in the past offseason, and quit junk food, he lost some of it Fat, added some muscle, he now weighs 140 kg, but he is faster and stronger than last season.
So I say, old K, you have to be careful, another giant beast is about to attack you. "
After talking about the East, he talked about the West again, saying: "In the West, Mosaic will be the strongest team, because they form the Big Three, the first team and the Bulls' strongest competitor. The joining of the glider and the reinforcement of the outside line made Da Meng see the hope of winning the championship.
The Suns, Spurs, SuperSonics, and Jazz belong to the second-tier teams in the Western Conference. I think their strength is at the same level.
For the Suns, I need to say a single word, because it was the championship last season. But I think this season, the Suns have little hope of defending their title.
Although Wilkins joined the Suns as a free agent, he is old, and his weakness is obvious, and he has no decisive role in the reinforcement of the Suns.
At the same time, the Suns' main lineup has gone three, and the perimeter loss is even greater, there is no defense, and there is no long shot, which will affect and threaten the low offensive quality. "
Finally, he said: "According to our analysis, the probability of winning the championship in the new season is predicted that the Bulls will occupy the first place, the probability of winning the championship is as high as 40%, the second team is Mosaic, as high as 35%, and the third team is given to the Suns, because it is the defending championship. The championship team has a 25 percent chance of winning."
TNT's analysis of the situation has been recognized by most people.
At the same time, ESPN also gave its own analysis. The predicted ranking of the probability of winning the championship is similar to that of TNT. The Bulls first, the probability of winning the championship is 45%, and the probability of winning the Mosaic is 40%. The third place is not the Suns, but the SuperSonics. The probability of winning the championship is as high as 30%. , the Suns fourth, 20%.
"The analysis of these media is to look at them, don't take them seriously." Wang Tiejun said in an interview with the media.
"So old K, which team do you think has the highest chance of winning the championship this season?" the reporter asked.
"Do you think there are other possibilities for my answer?" Wang Tiejun asked rhetorically.
The reporter shrugged, and he had to admit that he asked a rather stupid question, because it is almost impossible for K to admit that other teams are better than the Suns, no, absolutely impossible.
On the evening of the 30th, the CCTV live broadcast team arrived in Phoenix. The three photographers adjusted and replaced two, but the commentators were still Zhang Lili and Su Qun.
Pharaoh took them from the airport to K Martial Arts Hall for dinner, which was considered a reception.
"Tie Jun, how is this season?" Zhang Lili asked during dinner.
Pharaoh shook his head and said: "The Western Mosaic level is very difficult. Even if we get out of the West, our perimeter is much worse than last season, and the perimeter defense is even worse. It will be very difficult to face the Bulls."
"There is no hope?" Su Qun asked.
Pharaoh said: "I will tell you the truth, I hope of course, like last season, I completely dominate their penalty area and have a chance to win.
But you can’t lose too much on the outside, the offensive end must at least be able to pass the ball in, and the defensive end must at least limit Jordan’s offensive efficiency, and the turnovers should not be too many. "
Zhang Lili and Su Qun kept shaking their heads when they thought of the current Suns lineup.
Last season, there were Gliders and Lei Gong, both of them could hold the ball to attack, help the Lightning to share the pressure, and let the Bulls' strong perimeter defense not be able to completely lock the Suns' perimeter, and this season, the Lightning alone can hold the ball, and he has not been beaten by Jordan. And Pippen they are completely locked?
On October 31st, Yu Feihong flew to Phoenix and had a small gathering.
"Old K, when will your medicated food be ready?" Yu Feihong asked after some tossing between the two in the evening.
"The martial arts hall has already placed an order with a domestic company. It should be on its way now, and it should be arriving soon."
"Is the effect of medicinal diet really immortal?" Yu Feihong asked while rubbing his face.
Old Wang laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as you eat it every day, you will be as tender as you are today in twenty years."
Yu Feihong pretended to be disdainful and said, "My mother is in her 40s and she looks like she is in her early 30s. The effect of your medicated diet seems to be just that."
Old Wang said anxiously, "Is there any difference between the early thirties and the early twenties?"
"A little bit." Yu Feihong giggled.
She suddenly asked again: "Are you really going to sell one for $10,000? Then there will be fewer people who can afford it."
"Of course few people can afford luxury goods. I am the top luxury. Besides, if I have ten kinds of medicated meals, I will only sell one for one thousand dollars. Unfortunately, if there is only one, it will cost ten thousand. Otherwise, it will be a loss." Old Wang said helplessly.
"What logic?"
Yu Feihong is also helpless, sometimes she really has a hard time understanding Wang Tiejun's unusual idea.
Pharaoh thought for a while, it is indeed a bit expensive, so why is it cheaper? Anyway, he doesn't know how to do business. He came up with this price in a flash. He asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
Yu Feihong thought for a while and said, "After eating the medicinal diet, I feel that the conditioning effect on the body is somewhat obvious, and it can't be too low. How about three thousand dollars?"
"That's three thousand dollars."
Wang Tiejun didn't even think about it, he just agreed, anyway, both 10,000 and 3,000 are huge profits.
"Have you appointed a famous official for medicinal food?" Yu Feihong asked.
"If you think about it, you can call it immortality and longevity." Old Wang nodded.
Yu Feihong stayed for a while, how about immortality and longevity, the boy duck?
"Don't you sell in China? Fengshen Street is so crowded that you can open a family." She asked.
Lao Wang said: "There is too little one kind of medicinal food, and I definitely can't make it into a luxury product in China, so I'm too lazy to make it for the time being."
"You don't have a branch in the K martial arts hall?"
"I don't have any plans for now. Brother Tielong and the others can do it if they want to. Let them decide. My main focus will not be on the martial arts hall," he said.
"By the way, has Wuxing Company brought in the business?" he asked again.
"I contacted a production crew, with an investment of 40 million US dollars, and the contract is almost signed. Don't tell me, Hollywood's martial arts income is quite good, this time I can get a contract of 1.2 million US dollars, according to the technical type of work. The contract given is much higher than that of China and Xiangcheng, no wonder Cheng Long wants to open a martial arts company in Hollywood." Yu Feihong said.
"Hollywood doesn't have talent in this area at all. Your martial arts company is very rich." Lao Wang praised.
On November 1, 1995, the media day of the new season of the Suns, all the players of the Suns attended the media conference in suits and leather shoes.
Because the Suns are getting a lot of attention now, they are not even weaker than the Bulls, so this media day, TNT TV broadcasted the Q&A session live.
"Old K, are you satisfied with the Suns' lineup?" a reporter asked.
"Of course I am satisfied. It is already very good to be able to achieve the current lineup in the reconstruction. We have introduced veterans and good rookies. We have not only increased our potential, but also strengthened our immediate combat capabilities. Like last season, it has maintained its impact on the finals, which is the best choice." Pharaoh told the truth.
"Do you think the Suns' chances of winning the championship in the new season are as predicted by TNT and ESPN?" a reporter asked.
"Team Mosaic will be our strongest competitor in the West. The Big Three have a very strong lineup, but we will not easily admit defeat. We will attack them and use our best." Pharaoh said.
"Old K, do you think the three giants of the Mosaic team belong to the superstar group?" The next reporter asked.
Lao Wang smiled and said: "From the state, the big dream should still be at its peak, he is really surprising.
Barkley and Drexler were my teammates, I know them well, and I think they will remain at the end of their peaks, and all three of them still have the strength of superstars…”
The reporter suddenly said, "So, do you think they were in a group at their peak?"
Lao Wang laughed twice and said, "Yes, I despise them, these three guys are too shameful."
