NBA backer king

Chapter 206 Battle Mosaic
"Oh!"

Under the double-teaming of David Robinson and Willie Anderson, Wang Tiejun broke out and knocked Anderson over.

Anderson is just an Iron Guard swingman. He is 201 centimeters tall, but weighs only 86 kilograms. With this tonnage, he was directly knocked into the air when he was close to his body. He thought he had encountered a car accident.

Wang Tiejun took the opportunity to turn around and slip to the bottom, and when Robinson retreated, he took a bear step and quickly turned his movement into a hit.

"Oh!"

Under the fierce iron mountain attack, David Robinson fell to the ground again.

He is the smallest tonnage among several super centers. When encountering Wang Tiejun, who has a larger tonnage and stronger strength, as long as he hits him, he has no ability to compete at all.

In particular, Tieshan in the Xiongbu state relies on hitting, and can switch between moving and relying on hitting at will. The suddenness is very strong, and he was caught off guard.

"boom!"

Flying and smashing the basket, the American West Arena exploded again.

The Spurs called a timeout, and Anderson was injured and couldn't get up.

"Dennis, let AC Green go and assist Old K in the low post. The others must make up the defense in time, and Green cannot get a wide open."

Spurs coach John Lucas had no way to limit Wang Tiejun, a low-post behemoth, so he could only double-team.

He believes that with Robinson's main defense and Rodman's auxiliary defense, it should be possible to limit the old K.

Rodman's defense is good, which is one of the important reasons why the team traded him. Apart from rebounding, it is because of his defense.

After hearing what the head coach said, Rodman didn't speak, but raised his hand to comb his short green hair.

This is the first time he has dyed his hair, and he is in a bad mood now. His wife cheated on his ex-teammate. He tried to commit suicide, but he didn't dare to do it. His mood has not recovered yet.

"Dennis, what are you doing?"

Three minutes later, John Lucas angrily yelled at Rodman and called a timeout.

He asked Rodman to double-team Old K, which was also one of the team's trading goals, but Rodman seemed reluctant to double-team Wang Tiejun, even if he had the opportunity, he would not pass by watching the excitement.

As a result, David Robinson was knocked down by Wang Tiejun twice in a row while defending alone, and received a second foul in the first quarter. He was extremely embarrassed, and it can be said that he was eaten alive by the old K. He did not look like a super center on the defensive end.

This happened twice in just 3 minutes, which made him very annoyed.

David Robinson also had opinions on Rodman, returned to the bench, and ignored Rodman.Of course, Rodman ignored him.

"Dennis, you are in the paint, why don't you go to the basket to double-team the old K?" John Lucas asked.

Rodman didn't even look at the head coach, nor did he look at David Robinson who was staring at him, but this time he spoke, and spit out a sentence that could piss Robinson to death:
"He is a super center. Don't he have the ability to deal with old K? No, he has to deal with old K by himself. He is not a kid. I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. I'm not his coolie."

John Lucas's mouth opened wide. You are not a coolie. The purpose of trading you is to help David, not to make you speak sarcastic.

David Robinson almost vomited blood, did he find a grandpa for him?

Next, the helpless John Lucas had no choice but to change his defensive tactics again, adopting the method of killing more elephants, letting the outside line participate in double-teaming, and encircling and suppressing Wang Tiejun in the low position.

"This is the role and value of a low-post behemoth. His low-post attack will greatly compress the opponent's defense, forcing the opponent to double-team the basket, thereby creating open opportunities for outside teammates." John Hanks laughed.

Bill Walton nodded and said: "Yes, such a low-post behemoth can force the opponent to change their defensive tactics on their own, which is impossible for outside players.

Of course, the outside players I'm talking about don't include Michael Jordan. He even forced the league to introduce anti-isolation singles rules through his own abilities. He is an exception. "

John Hanks said with a smile: "Bill, I agree with you. Except for Jordan, other outside players, even if it is an outside superstar who averages 20+ per game, he can't really change the opponent's defensive tactics, because the opponent only needs to find an outside superstar who can average 20+ per game to solve his threat.

But behemoths like Old K and O'Neal can truly force their opponents to change their defensive tactics on their own. "

In the end, 98:109, the Suns defeated the Spurs in this game.

王铁军16投10中，命中率62.5%，13罚7中，拿到了27分14篮板7助攻4盖帽2失误3犯规的数据。

对位的大卫罗宾逊30投13中，43.3%的命中率，加上4罚4中，依然轰下了30分。

His shooting rate is not bad, because most of them are jump shots, and this shooting rate is higher than his mid-range shooting rate. This is because Wang Tiejun's defensive strategy is to prevent breakthroughs and not prevent shots, and the return to defense is not fast enough, which gives him some open opportunities.

In addition to scoring, Robinson only got 8 rebounds and no offensive rebounds. He was too far from the basket today.

Rodman was pretty good. He grabbed 25 rebounds in a single game, including 7 offensive rebounds. He made 1 of 0 shot. After missing the first ball, he stopped shooting, so he didn't score a point.

But the total number of rebounds, the Suns are still stronger than the Spurs, grabbed a total of 46 rebounds, the Spurs only 42.

"In the four games, the old K averaged 41 minutes, 25.7 points, 12.5 points, 6.2 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.6 blocks, 2.1 turnovers and 3 fouls. The old K played a superstar performance. Of course, in the playoffs and finals, he has already shown the strength of a top player, and his performance this season is not surprising." John Hanks said in the ABC live broadcast.

Bill Walton nodded and said: "Old K has obviously increased his supporting tasks this season. He has scored a total of 25 assists in the game, averaging 6.25 assists per game. His performance is more versatile than his rookie season."

John Hanks nodded and said: "He has to increase support, because Barkley is gone, and other people's scoring tasks are heavier, but his style of play consumes too much energy, so it's not easy to increase his shots too much, and we can't let everyone just watch him shoot alone, so helping teammates score is the best way.

The Suns are currently using traditional center tactics, and the ball will be the first to find him. In addition to the offense after grabbing a rebound, he has many opportunities to assist. "

Bill Walton continued: "We also saw that today he did not enter the basket a lot of times, making room for Ceballos' breakthrough, so Ceballos scored 20 points."

John Hanks said: "But I noticed one thing, Bill, the old K actually made 5 throws near the basket today and hit 3 of them."

"Yes, he reduced the aggressive attack at the basket, and the offensive efficiency at the basket has dropped a bit, but the physical consumption has been reduced. This is actually the right choice. This means that he has another offensive method that he is good at, and it is even more difficult to defend." Bill Walton laughed.

"On the defensive end, his performance was not bad, forcing David Robinson to shoot jumpers all the way, and his shooting percentage was 20 percentage points lower than him. This gap is too big." John Hanks laughed.

"His one-on-one defense has always been good, with a passing level. If he adopts the correct defensive strategy, plus luck, the opponent's touch is not overwhelming. Mr. Admiral's touch today is average and can only be regarded as a pass, then his defensive effect will be even better." Bill Walton laughed.

At the scene, some media interviewed Rodman.

"Big bug, I saw that you had some kind of argument with the head coach Lucas on the bench, can you talk about it?" the reporter asked.

Rodman shrugged and said indifferently: "Of course."

"Great!" The reporter said excitedly.

Rodman said: "It was very simple, he asked me to help guard K, but I don't think it was the right decision.

I'm the best defensive player in the Spurs, but there won't be any head coach, I mean a head coach like Chuck Daly and Phillip Jackson, they won't ask their best defensive player to guard the opponent's strongest offensive player in the first half.

Why?Because I was asked to defend the old K, I would immediately get fouls and couldn't last until the second half.

The most important thing is the second half, so the best players are usually assigned to defend the opponent's best offensive players in the second half, and a good head coach will do this.

Yes, I declined his rude request. "

The reporter looked dull, big bug, hello!

……

"Four consecutive victories, the Suns show their sharpness, and the all-round old K leads the team to the championship!"

"The Suns exploded, started with four consecutive victories, and pointed to the championship!"

Many media were originally not optimistic about the Suns, but now they have turned their guns and started singing praises for the Suns. Wang Tiejun has also received a lot of praise.

However, some media calmly analyzed the Suns, thinking that the Suns' defense is still difficult.

Bill Walton, who just commented on the Suns game, said in an interview with the media: "Old K has really started this season very well, especially with an average of 2.6 blocks per game. His single defense ability has improved.

But we have to note that pure block data cannot fully reflect a player's defensive efficiency.

Old K's help defense is still not very good. He hardly participates in the weak side help defense, and his ability to protect the basket needs to be improved. He cannot prevent the breakthrough of the speed outside line. I think his defensive end will still be his weakness.

My advice to him is that if he fills this weakness as soon as possible, then his strength will be sublimated, and being selected as an All-Star is not a dream. "

Wang Tiejun saw Bill Walton's interview and agreed with his opinion of himself. His defense really needs to be improved.

However, the five items of defense, single defense, assist defense, blocks, steals, and rebounds, only rebounds can be trained and improved through the system training card, and the other four items cannot be improved. They can only be improved through the usual team training and games, and the improvement speed is a bit slow.

Now that his athletic quality has improved, his ability to assist in defense actually has the potential to improve, but it still takes time.

And to be honest, he has always been strong in offense and weak in defense. From the bottom of his heart, he focuses on offense and despise defense, and is unwilling to invest more energy on the defensive end.

No matter how good his physical fitness is, his playing style is limited, and his physical fitness has always been insufficient. He has to save a little on the offensive end. If he strengthens his defense, the offensive end will be even weaker.

This is why the team introduced Thorpe and Green, both of whom have good defense.

Having said that, although he has a good start in the new season, he is not the person who attracts the most attention from the media and fans. This refers to the fifth position, excluding players in other positions. Jordan's gorgeous outside stars are the ones who really attract attention.

In the fifth position, the hottest player in the new season is Shaquille O'Neal.

When this shark entered the league last year, it was 125 kilograms. It is said that the tonnage has exceeded 130 kilograms. Is it true? This is what some media said, and there is no official definite information.

Anyway, the current O'Neal is a lot fatter and bigger than last season.

In the first four games, the Shark averaged 33.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 2.9 blocks, 2.7 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. If he hadn’t only scored 19 points in the fourth game, his scoring average would have been higher. In his second season, he began to show absolute dominance at the basket.

The fourth largest super center, this is the current evaluation of him by most media.

Although Wang Tiejun's assist data is much better than O'Neal's, his scoring is much worse, and his evaluation on the defensive end is far inferior to O'Neal's, so the current overall evaluation is far inferior to O'Neal's.

But his evaluation is already on par with Mourning.

Mourning has continued to perform well this season, with 21.5 points, 10 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.5 steals and 3.1 blocks. Especially on the defensive end, Mourning has added a lot of points to him. Even though he lagged behind Wang Tiejun in scoring and rebounds and assists, he got a fair evaluation.

Of course, compared with Wang Tiejun, his extra points include being a native American, and being an NCAA star player, he will naturally be liked by more American fans.

But the most talked about today is not O'Neal, nor him, nor Jordan, but Rodman.

Rodman's refusal to double-team him with David Robinson in the news made the big bug a media hot spot.

He was also surprised that Rodman hadn't double-teamed Rodman last night even though he was right next to him. At one point he thought that the worm was sleepwalking, but now he knew that the worm was a person with a bottom line. This kind of person is more respectable than the admiral, and next time he has the opportunity to hit him lightly.

After playing the Spurs, the Suns' next game is an away game. They will play Mosaic on the 13th and have two days to rest at home.

This game has received a lot of attention from the media, the league has also arranged for a nationwide live broadcast, and CCTV also chose to broadcast the game live.

When the game was two days away, many media began to hype the game.

Mosaic also played four games, and also won all four games, full of momentum. This is because Barkley and Dameng are in the running-in period, and their strength has not been fully utilized.

Most of the media's predictions about the outcome of this game are biased towards the mosaic where the two superstars are located.

At noon on the 11th, cousin Liu Changfeng prepared lunch according to his request, but he could barely eat it, which was much worse than Zhang Reasonable's, and he didn't care, as long as he could eat it.

The conditions are so good now. When the family conditions were difficult, he wanted to eat a meal of meat. The two sisters and his parents had to stretch their belts to save some rations and give him a meal.

"Brother Changfeng, why don't you take your driver's license test? You can drive that pickup truck, so use it to practice. When Brother Zhang is free, ask him to take you with him," he said.

"Oh yes."

Liu Changfeng was startled, and nodded quickly.

At this time, Colangelo was still preparing to adjust the lineup. He has not been very satisfied with Ceballos, even though Ceballos performed well this season, averaging 18.8 points per game in the first few games.

The reason is that Ceballos has no long-range shooting ability, and breakthrough is his strong point. This must rely on the old K to give up the space under the basket to allow him to have room to play, thus limiting the old K's performance.

The head coach Paul Westphal is not satisfied either. He restricted Ceballos' shots last season. This season, he has no choice but to restrict Old K's offense at the basket, activate Ceballos' breakthrough, and increase the team's offensive firepower.

When the team has a big mac at the basket, it is not good news for players who focus on outside breakthroughs. Unless this player has a breakthrough jumper in addition to breakthrough layups, otherwise he will be directly abolished.

As for Ceballos, his breakthrough jumper ability is average, which is the main reason why he is not valued in the Suns.

After Ceballos' contract ended last time, he offered a 200-year salary contract, but it was only for one year. This is Ceballos' second contract with the Suns.

Now the team has a person who can replace him, and that is Robert Horry.

At present, Horry is the first substitute at the third position and the second substitute at the fourth position. He wants to strengthen Horry as the starter at the third position. Horry was the starting small forward of the Mosaic team last season.

He knows that this young man is practicing three-pointers, and this is the ability the team needs, but Ceballos does not have this long-range shooting talent.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 12th, the Suns arrived in Houston.

For a treat, Barkley found a Turkish barbecue restaurant and invited his old teammates from last season to have a gathering.

He also purposely put on the championship ring that he had acquired a few days ago.

"This meat is delicious!"

Before entering the barbecue restaurant, Wang Tiejun and others smelled the tangy aroma of barbecue, and salivated.

"Is this beef or pork?" Kevin Johnson asked.

He doesn't want to eat pork. The media said that his condition will decline a lot this season, so he is not convinced. He has no rest during the offseason, and now he has to control his diet.

"It should be beef, or mutton and chicken. Turks seem to be Muslims and don't eat pork." Old Wang said.

At this time Buckley came out from inside and shouted loudly: "Hey, brothers, long time no see, how are you?"

"Charles, did that old hooligan in Dameng bully you? Tell me, and I'll beat him up for you." Lao Wang shouted.
