NBA Backer King

   Chapter 548 Is he tired too?

After   Jordan scored a goal, it was the Lakers’ turn to attack. He began to enter the basket to get the ball, and to use the strongest offensive to defeat the opponent.

   In a direct contest between muscles under the basket, Pharaoh, with his more abundant physical strength and the strongest strength, suppressed O'Neal, stuck him behind him, and got his position under the basket.

  The center is in a strong position at the basket, and the perimeter has been prepared for a long time. Kobe saw the opportunity and threw the ball from Charlie Ward's head with both hands under a sudden jump pass.

  Oakley, who was ready to double-team the basket at any time, was on the right midfielder in the paint area, and immediately turned and threw himself, but the ball was passed very fast, and he failed to complete the double-team in advance.

"Snapped!"

Behind O'Neal's surging top defense and heavy breathing, Pharaoh grabbed the ball with one hand. In the next instant, he leaned over and dribbled the ball with both hands. At the same time, he took the opportunity to turn halfway to the right, avoiding Oakley's double-team. Action, and then both feet down, the six forces in one, and leaned back sharply.

   "Boom!"

   Under the arch of the back of the savage Tie Shan, O'Neal, who was not physically fit, groaned, and his upper body suddenly fell back.

   knocked O'Neal over, and Pharaoh glanced at Oakley indifferently, and then he got up and smashed the ball to the basket with both hands.

  You're done, what do I do? Oakley's heart skipped a beat, this **** old K is so cruel!

"boom!"

   The next moment, the basket roared.

"This is the physical advantage of the old K. He played 7 minutes more than O'Neal, but now his physical fitness is even more abundant than O'Neal. O'Neal is no longer good, but he is still like a tiger." Barkley roared excitedly. road.

   "This is the most terrible thing about old K. You can block his first three quarters, but you can't stop his fourth quarter." Bill Walton shook his head with emotion and said.

   "The last quarter is the time for Old K to feed his opponent." Kenny Smith said excitedly.

   In the 10th minute of the game, under the fierce attack of Pharaoh's basket, O'Neal finally couldn't hold it anymore. He couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

   At this time, the Lakers were already leading by 10 points, and the Knicks called a timeout in advance.

   On the court, Jordan put his hands on his knees, sweat flowed down in a line, and did not end the court immediately. He was really exhausted and wanted to take a breath.

   Although he does not fight against Old K, his physical energy consumption is no less than that of O'Neal. He has scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. At his age, it is already a miracle.

   Even if his body is well maintained, at this time, he can't hold on anymore.

   But what made him more unable to hold on was his psychology.

   With O'Neal's end, the balance of the game has been heavily tilted in favor of the Lakers, which made him extremely disappointed.

   The three finals with old K before, all lacked strong teammates in the interior, so one lost, two lost, three losses.

This time, he has the most powerful inside teammates, but, the old K's physical strength is actually strong to this level, he and O'Neal are tired to death, but the old K is still like a tired cow, this time, why does he Still can't see a chance to win?

   It was this lack of hope that hit him hard.

  When he was young, no matter how strong the bad boy army was, he never gave up hope of winning the championship, because he was young enough and the bad boy army was getting old.

   But now, it is him who is getting old, and the feeling of not seeing hope makes him feel a great sense of frustration, and this feeling makes him extremely disgusted.

   At this moment, there was a constant gasp coming from beside him. He bent down and turned his head to look at it. It was the old K who was going off the court.

  Old K, like him, was constantly breathing, and the sweat from his whole body was constantly flowing down.

   "He's tired too."

   This turned his head, Jordan's eyes lit up, and his strong psychological quality instantly healed his psychological blow.

   He felt that he had seen hope, and Old K was also very tired, so he must be gritting his teeth and persevering. As long as he and O'Neal could carry it on until the moment when Old K's physical strength collapsed, it would be an opportunity.

  Old K has played the whole court since the second round, and his physical energy consumption far exceeds that of him and O'Neal. He feels that his idea is right, and he insists, as long as he persists, he will surely wait for victory.

   But just as he was about to get up and go off the court, he suddenly remembered that O'Neal had just been sent off. This time, he had the urge to curse his mother.

   Soon after the G3 game of the finals ended, the Lakers won on the road and won their second win of the series, leading the Knicks by a big score of 2-1.

After the game, Bill Walton said: "The next G4G5 game is also the home of the Knicks. The G4 game is a life-and-death battle for the Knicks. They can't lose. Losing allows the Lakers to get match points. This series is basically a game. It's settled."

  Kenny Smith said: "If the Knicks lose G4 again, then for Michael Jordan, they will face a bleak situation of one loss, two losses, three losses and four losses."

Barkley said with emotion: "Six years ago, I never imagined that Michael would face such a situation. At that time, I didn't have a championship, there was no MVP and FMVP, and he was full of honors, completed two consecutive championships, and is rushing for three consecutive championships. Consecutive dynasty. But I didn't expect that now he will..."

   Having said this, he sighed with emotion and did not go on.

  Kenny Smith asked: "Charles, do you think the Knicks have any hope of coming back?"

  Barkley nodded and said, "Of course there is, otherwise how did they win the last game? The Lakers won today on physical fitness, more precisely on the physical fitness of Old K. He completely overwhelmed O'Neal at the final juncture of the game.

   Then if the Knicks can distribute Shaq's physical fitness more reasonably, including Michael's physical fitness of course, I think the Knicks have a better chance of winning.

   In fact, in terms of the main lineup, the combination of O'Neal and Michael is more threatening than the old K and Richmond. They can really reach the level of 1+1>2, but the old K can't do it.

   When the Knicks' main lineup is on the court, there is a chance to occupy a certain advantage, but once the substitution time is entered, the Lakers' advantage will be reflected. "

  Kenny Smith laughed: "The Lakers are also lucky, Chris Mullin rejected Jordan and chose the old K, and Rick Fox signed a low-paying contract with the Lakers for Hollywood, when he was playing.

  Haha, if the Lakers don't have Fox and Mullin, then today's championship must be the Knicks. "

   Bill Wharton laughed: "So sometimes luck is also a strength."

In the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun held the statistics table and said: "Old K played the whole game, 38 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 5 blocks, 4 turnovers and 5 fouls. It's a pity, I didn't get one in the last few minutes. Assist."

   "This data is already quite powerful."

   Zhang Lili said: "Today the Lakers played very united, the team's total assists were 27, while the Knicks only had 19.

  Tiejun’s status in the low post today is not the end of the offense, but the starting point of the offense. He dominates the Lakers offense. "

Su Qun nodded and said: "In addition to the old K, the Lakers also scored in double figures, Kobe 18 points, Richmond 12 points, Fox 16 points, Mullin and Price, Hill and Fortson all scored 5 points. Above, the eight-man rotation played pretty evenly, and everyone scored. The Knicks, only Jordan and O'Neal scored in double figures, and the scoring was very uneven."

Zhang Lili said: "Knicks, Qiao Sha's cooperation is really good, but the physical strength of the two is also limited, and they can't be overly reliant. After focusing so many shots on the two of them, once their physical strength collapses, the offense and defense will collapse. The quality drops, and the Knicks just fall apart."

  Su Qun said with a smile: "Today, the Lakers are not only good in attack quality, but also good in rebounding, 7 more than the Knicks."

   Zhang Lili said with a smile: "So when Qiao Shao scored 68 points, the Lakers still relied on the accumulation of various advantages to hold the first three quarters, and then won the game in the last quarter.

   It looks like it's not easy, the game is very tight, but I think the Lakers are still playing quite solidly, knowing where their strengths are, and relying on them to win in the end. "

   At the scene, Pharaoh accepted the interview, and then asked Yu Feihong and Dabao to return to the hotel first, and after sending them off, he and his teammates returned to the locker room.

Jordan guessed right, he is very tired now, even if he has a 105-level physical fitness, he is not iron-clad. From the second round of the series to the present, all the games have been played, and the physical reserves have been exhausted. Just persevere. After this game, my body feels as if I have been hollowed out. When I return to the locker room, I soak in the medicine bath bucket.

In the five positions, there are very good rotation players in other positions, and even the main substitutes are similar, but only in his position, only marginal players with poor strength are substitutes. After he entered the second round, he had to play the whole game. reason.

   It's not that the Lakers are unwilling to find a good substitute for him. First, there is no space to squeeze out. The meat shield is now several million a year. Second, it is impossible to find a good center. Which team is willing to release him now?

   From a certain point of view, the six championship-level teams have become the public enemy of the management of other teams in the league, and try to avoid trading with them.

   It is because these six teams can bring a lot of benefits to the league, which is to bring a lot of benefits to other weak teams, so they did not attack them in groups.

The Lakers' reinforcements in the offseason are almost all the gains in the free market. Fox, Chris Mullin, Mark Price, etc. are all. Only Richmond was traded in, but he paid a Peja, The Lakers are also in pain.

  Fortunately, G3 has already been played in the finals, almost halfway through, his remaining physical reserves should not be a big problem if he persists for a few more games.

   The home team's locker room, losing the first home game, had a blow to the Knicks' morale, it seemed very dull, and no one spoke.

  In the bathroom, Jordan and O'Neal were both soaking in the medicine tub. Phil Jackson had just finished his summary, so he came in and communicated with the two.

  Jordan raised the issue of physical fitness, which he believed was the most critical reason for the Knicks to lose two games, and the inertia collapsed at the end.

He said: "Phil, in the first three finals, Lao K's physical fitness was definitely not that strong. Obviously, his physical fitness has only reached its peak this season. I think this season, both technically and physically, have reached him. At its peak, physical fitness is a new problem we have to face."

Phil Jackson nodded and said: "Old K played against Postman and Sabonis in the second round, and in the Western Conference finals against Duncan and Big Dream, all of which were full court, and he contributed in all directions, his physical energy consumption must be very large, and now he is facing each other again. Shaq, still playing full court, his physical fitness is truly a miracle, he could go to a triathlon."

   The two of them sighed at the same time. It was really bad luck. From the Bulls to the Knicks, they actually encountered a stronger old K.

Jordan thought for a while and said: "But I think old K's physical fitness should be almost at the limit. He just finished the game and he can't walk, so we should persevere and don't be intimidated by him. I think who perseveres In the end, whoever has the chance to get the final victory."

With a sound of water, O'Neal moved in the huge bucket and said, "I think old K relies on this thing to improve his physical strength. The formula of the medicinal bath is his, and he has taken the medicinal bath for the longest time. Perhaps, he also Keep it secret, this guy is very cunning."

Jordan nodded and said: "The effect of medicated bath is for sure, not only we are using it, but so many Hollywood stars are also using it, and so many billionaires in New York and Los Angeles are also using it, it is impossible for them to accept it without its effect. .

   I have asked some users, I mean ordinary people, not athletes, after using the medicated bath for a few months, their physical fitness has improved significantly, and the effect is better than ours. "

  Phil Jackson said: "Now what we have to face is, how to solve the problem that our physical fitness can't keep up with the old K, what do you guys think?

  If this problem cannot be solved, when the old K exerts his strength in the distal period, the problem of our distal collapse is likely to occur again. "

  Jordan has been thinking about this issue since the game, hearing the words: "We can only rely on more rotations to give the main team more time to rest.

   During the rotation, Phil, we have to hold on, which requires you to use tactics to solve the problem. "

  Phil Jackson wants to scratch his head. Old K plays the whole court. He is on the court and our main force has to rest. How can I use tactics to solve the problem of old K? If it's that easy, do we still use the Knicks?

   At this time, O'Neal said: "I think if I continue to use the medicated bath, there should be room for my physical fitness to improve. After all, I am still very young, only 26 years old."

   "Old K is only 25 years old." Jordan reminded irritably.

  O'Neill argued: "But he used the medicated bath earlier than me. Human bodies have limits. Maybe his physical energy has reached the limit, but I haven't."

   When he said this, Jordan and Phil Jackson also believed that there was some truth, but they also understood the truth that far water cannot save near fire, so the current problem still needs to be solved.

Phil Jackson said after thinking about it: "In the first three games, Dale has not been activated at this point, and we have not used his three-pointer. If his ability is activated, his three-pointer can help us reduce a lot of pressure. Michael, Shaq, you guys have to pay attention to his points."

  Jordan shook his head and said: "The Lakers see him as tight, and there is no open space opportunity. Old K always defends Shaq alone, and the strength of double-teaming me is actually not very strong, especially the people who guard Dalle rarely participate in double-teaming me."

  Dalle Ellis was taking a shower in the bathroom. At this time, he said: "The Lakers are very tight on my defense. No matter who guards me, they will not give me a big open position. Even if they leave, they will quickly return to defense."

  Phil Jackson didn't look back at Ellis, because when he looked back he saw a **** and white ass, he said: "So Darle, we're going to develop some tactics for you to activate your projection ability.

   We need your points. Your points can save Michael and O'Neal a lot of energy, while keeping the Lakers' defensive pressure off the two of them. "

  On the morning of the 6th, the curtains in the hotel room looked very dark. Pharaoh opened his eyes and felt it. After a few hours of sleep, his empty body after the game last night has recovered a lot.

   But obviously, the degree of recovery is not as good as during the regular season, which means that his physical energy reserve is not as good as before.

   "It's almost 9 o'clock?"

   rubbed his eyes, reached out and grabbed the watch on the bedside table, looked at the time and put it down, yawned, he got up and went to the window and opened the curtains, and the room suddenly became brighter.

   Brother Fei and Dabao are in another room. The team requires that they abstain from **** during the finals. Players are not allowed to live with their wives and girlfriends.

   After taking a shower, he left the room and went to Brother Fei.

   Dabao also got up, Brother Fei ordered breakfast, and the mother and son were eating in the room.

"dad!"

   Dabao exclaimed with joy.

"good!"

  Pharaoh was also hungry. He saw that there were three slices of bread on Dabao's plate. He took one and ate it. Dabao looked at him and said nothing. When he went to get the second slice, the little guy quit.

   "My, Dabao's."

   Dabao guarded the plate with one hand, pointed to the landline next to him with the other and shouted, "Dad call."

   He just saw that after his mother called, someone gave him something to eat, so he asked Lao Wang to call too.

   "Little thing, do you still know how to protect food?"

   Brother Fei laughed and asked Pharaoh if he wanted to order breakfast for him. Pharaoh shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go to the restaurant to eat."

When he got up and left, he suddenly grabbed a piece of bread from Dabao's plate. Dabao pouted and glanced aggrievedly at his father who was swaggering away. He quickly grabbed the last piece of bread in his hand to avoid being caught again. The robber dad took it.
