NBA backer king

Chapter 263 All-Star Start

"second?"

Seeing that his name was under Jordan again, he frowned.

But he can't control this kind of thing. In the 92/93 season, Barkley's statistics were much worse than Jordan's. In the end, the Suns had the best record in the league, and the MVP was given to Barkley. Now his personal statistics are a little bit better, but the record of the Suns is not as good as that of the Bulls. No one knows what will happen in the end.

"We have a lot of injuries this season, and it's a bit difficult to surpass the Bulls in record!"

Thinking that the Bulls now seem to have 4 more wins than the Suns, and they need to increase their rotation after the All-Star Game. This is hard to chase, and the gap is a bit big.

At this time, the results of the All-Star voting began to be announced, and the Eastern Conference was announced first.

Jordan once again became the league's All-Star vote leader, with more than 220 million votes, far exceeding last year, which definitely shows the popularity of the NBA.

For the center position, O'Neal is 126 million, and Ewing is only more than 70. The former has become the All-Star starter for three consecutive seasons.

For the forward position, the new-generation idol Grant Hill got 126 million votes, Pippen was overwhelmed, and got 113 million votes. They will become the starting forwards in the East.

For the guard position, in addition to Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway and Reggie Miller got 99 and 90 respectively. In the end, Penny Hardaway became the starting guard of the Eastern All-Star. Whether Reggie Miller can enter the All-Star depends on the voting results of the head coaches of each team.

In the west, the center position was the first to be announced, and Pharaoh's eyes widened.

In fact, no surprises, it must be him, not only because this All-Star is in Phoenix, he has home court advantage, and his votes have always been ahead of Dameng and the general.

Sure enough, then his name appeared in the first place, with 143 million votes, and Big Dream was second with 112 million votes. David Robinson only had 104 votes. He became the starting center of the Western All-Stars for the second consecutive season.

For the forward position, Barkley and Rainman Kemp received 104 million and 102 votes respectively, becoming the starting forwards of the Western All-Stars.

For the guard position, Sprewell and Tim Hardaway both received more than 86 votes and became the starting guards for the Western All-Stars.

At this time, his mobile phone was beeping non-stop. He opened it and looked at it. There were many text messages congratulating him on becoming the starter of the All-Star.

Being an All-Star for the second time, the feeling of joy is not as good as last year, but I am still very happy.

Subsequently, the league announced the All-Star list of 14 substitute players.

East: Joe Dumars, Ewing, Mourning, Larry Johnson, Dana Barros, Wen Baker, Tyron Hill.

West: Mitch Richmond, Karl Malone, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Detlef Schrempf, Gary Payton, John Stockton.

"I X, David Robinson was selected as a forward?"

Lao Wang was a little surprised, it was chosen by the coaches, or arranged by the league, it's hard to say!
On the night of February [-]st, the Lakers challenged the Suns.

Lao Wang asked Colangelo for some tickets, and wanted to bring a few cousins ​​into the American West Arena and invite them to watch the game.

Colangelo didn't say anything, and directly gave him fifteen fixed-rate tickets for each game, including two tickets for the first row, three tickets for the second row, and ten tickets for the third row.

This is the treatment as the core leader of the team, and the renewal of the old Wang's contract is coming soon, which can be regarded as his favor to the old Wang. Neither Kevin Johnson nor Barkley have had this kind of treatment.

That night, the Suns defeated the Lakers at home and won their 31st victory.

The next day, Lao Wang held a big party at home, and invited everyone from the team, including the management and coaching staff, to introduce Wang Tielong and his identities, and formally invited them to attend the opening ceremony of the martial arts gym on the [-]th.

On the 3rd, the Suns beat the Timberwolves again.

On the 4th, Mosaic arrived in Phoenix. The second team will have the second regular season game between the two teams this season on the 5th, and there will be two more after that.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Wang drove to the hotel to pick up Buckley and Dameng, and planned to take them to the martial arts hall for a visit.

Along the way, Dameng, who once again became Lao Wang's substitute, had a lot of resentment, causing her mouth to chatter non-stop.

"Old K, if there are three NBA teams in Arizona, you will never get more votes than me."

"Old K, if we switch teams, you won't even get 50 votes."

"Old K..."

Lao Wang got a benefit, so he didn't bother to pay attention to this nonsense.

When we came to Binger Building, we got out of the elevator and opened the iron door. Next to it was a reception desk that looked like a bar. Lao Wang pointed to the reception desk and said to Barkley, "Brother, don't forget to pay for the formalities here on the opening day."

Barkley twitched his face, Old K's martial arts gym, can't it be a trap?Forget it, one hundred thousand dollars in three years is not worth a lot of money.

"Old K, what are the VIP service items?" Dameng asked.

"There is a traditional Chinese medicine hall in the martial arts hall. There are acupuncture, cupping, massage, and medicinal baths. In terms of martial arts, there are many more. I can't finish it for a while. You can tell me in detail after you pay the money." He said.

Dameng is speechless, is this paying the bill first and then serving the food?

"Let me tell you, all the VIP items are paid items, and the membership fee is just the membership fee. You don't have to worry, it's very cost-effective, and it's worth the money." Old Wang said.

"Are they all paid items?"

Barkley and Dameng nodded, the fee is good, cheap, free is the most expensive, they are more at ease.

After introducing Wang Tielong and the others, Lao Wang left with the two of them.

5th, game day.

This morning, Pharaoh took a group of people to go shopping on the street. Each bought some clothes and shoes, and then went to the car shop to pick up three pickups.

This is for martial arts. The leather is durable and suitable for martial arts. The three of Wang Tielong and the others are scouts and can drive.

"Brother, I want to drive too." Envious Liu Changjiang yelled sitting in the back.

"Yes, Tie Jun, I want to drive too." Liu Changlong shouted beside him.

"Learn it, you can get started in a few days, go get a temporary card and you can open it." Old Wang smiled.

In the evening, the American West Arena was overcrowded.

They were eliminated by Mosaic in the Western Conference finals last season, and they also lost the last away game. Sun fans hope that they can defeat this powerful opponent at home this time.

Because there are free tickets, Wang Tielong and his team also came to the scene, and Tian Xiaofen also came to watch the game for the first time.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Mosaic: Olajuwon, Barkley, Mario Ellis, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith
Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Elliott Perry
CCTV chose the real-time broadcast of this game, and at the same time, it was broadcast live across the United States by ABC TV station.

At the same time as the roster was announced, the substitutes began to warm up, and the team's staff were also active on the bench, doing some preparatory work.

Liu Changfeng prepared some ice packs, finished what he was doing, and came to the auditorium next to him with a smile. His wife Tian Xiaofen was sitting in the front, next to Wang Tielong, and Wang Tieshu and others were behind, ready to come and have a chat.

But before he could speak, Tian Xiaofen pushed him away, and told him: "Chang Feng, go to work, don't let people talk."

"All right, you eat popcorn, don't just sit around." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

He knew that his wife was very concerned about his work, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake outside, but now he has gained a firm foothold in the Suns, his skills are very popular, and he signed a three-year contract.

Now Tiejun's martial arts gym is about to open, and his wife has arranged a job there, and she can also have a certain income. He plans to have a child in the next two years, and once he has a child, this little life will be all over.

At this time, in the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "From the starting list to analyze Mosaic's tactics, it is obvious that they seem to have given up the meat shield tactics."

Su Qun nodded and said: "Barkley is at the fourth position, and Mario Elli plays small forward. He is a swingman with a height of 196 centimeters and a weight of 100 kilograms.

The Mosaic team should arrange for him to double-team Old K, Director Zhang, what do you think? "

Lao Zhang thought for a while and shook his head: "Drexler and Tie Jun are on the same wing, with his ability to spread the ball and Tie Jun's passing ability, it is difficult for Mario Eli to provide timely low-post defense.

In my opinion, AC Green's ability to stretch is worse, and Barkley should be weak-side defense, which should be Mosaic's main double-team strategy tonight. "

In the player channel, the starters of the two teams are chatting.

"Charles, Dameng, we'll get you all done tonight, and we'll be No. [-] in the West." Pharaoh shouted with his chin raised.

"Old K, you are quite good at dreaming." Dameng said with a sneer.

"Brother, don't think too much." Barkley also said with a smile.

"Facts will prove who is the strongest team in the West." Pharaoh confidently said.

Although he lost in the Western Conference Finals last time, he is now stronger both offensively and defensively, and his dominance in the low post has increased a lot. This is where his confidence lies.

And in terms of lineup, Drexler has an extra three-pointer, and he has a lot of opportunities to play big dreams, which is also one of the sources of confidence.

At 08:30, the game officially started.

Lao Wang snatched the ball away before Dameng, and the Suns attacked.

Wang Tiejun squeezed towards the basket, and Dameng defended against him, resolutely not letting him get close to the basket.

At the same time, everyone else pulled to the three-point line.

Perry crossed the halfway line, handed the ball to Drexler, and he handled it.

Bill Walton said: "Without the Lightning, although Glider and Old K both have certain organizational skills, the Suns' organizational skills are still affected.

The role of the point guard is to organize the offense, distribute the ball to teammates, and make the team's offense more reasonable and balanced.

But now Drexler controls the ball, or the old K controls the ball inside. They are not pure point guards, so the first consideration is their own offense, rather than organizing teammates to attack. They don't know how to distribute the ball. This is their weakness. "

Nodding, John Hanks said: "This is like the Bulls back then. Jordan's offensive power is stronger than now, but the Bulls just can't go far. Why?
Because the ball is in his hands, and he is the first point of attack, his first consideration is his own offense, rather than organizing teammates to attack. "

"Right, that is it."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "When the ball and shots are concentrated in the hands of one person, it will cause an imbalance, and in many cases the offensive rationality is not enough.

The reason why the Bulls won the championship is that Pippen has grown up. He controls the ball and distributes offenses for his teammates, which increases the rationality of the Bulls' offense, reduces unreasonable shots, and improves offensive efficiency. "

"boom!"

At this time, Drexler missed a shot, Dameng turned around and grabbed a backcourt rebound, and Mosaic attacked.

Bill Wharton said: "See, that's it. Old K was tightly entangled by the big dream. Drexler thought he could single Mario Eli, so he threw it himself.

But Dan Marley had a good chance just now. Green made a pick-and-roll for him and got a small open spot. Unfortunately, the glider didn't have a chance to see the weak side. "

Mosaic advances to the frontcourt, Dameng and Barkley sink to the low wings at the same time, the former is on the left, the latter is on the right, Mario Eli is on the left-wing three-point line, and Vernon Maxwell is on the right-wing three-point line.

Kenny Smith passed the ball to Vernon Maxwell, who passed it down, and Barkley backed AC Green.

Lao Wang has returned to the basket, just one meter in front of the basket, staring at the right wing.

He will not easily go over to help defend and double-team, because Barkley's pass is still good, as long as he passes, he may pass the ball to Dameng.

He sat on the basket, guarding against the big dream behind him, allowing Barkley to shoot outside the paint area, but not allowing him to come in.

No matter how powerful Barkley is, even if he blows up Green, as long as he can't get in, the shooting percentage of the mid-range shot will not be very high. He can fully bear such a loss.

"brush!"

Barkley double-ducked, came up on the sideline with a signature turnaround jumper, and hit a field goal.

"Brother, why don't you come in for a stroll? Brother, I'm very hospitable." Old Wang asked as he ran to the front field.

"You thought you were shopping?"

Barkley rolled his eyes, thinking that old K is not a good person, this is to hat him, he must pass a few good balls, let Hakeem dunk old K one, let him know that big brother is not so easy to bully.

Entering the frontcourt, Pharaoh suddenly accelerated and went straight to the basket.

Dameng was half a beat too late, and immediately took a step forward, pulling from behind while observing whether there was a ball coming in from behind.

"Ouch!"

When Dameng was distracted, Pharaoh suddenly swung his arm and opened the hand he was pulling, causing him to cry out in pain.

"here."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pharaoh quickly turned around and stuck Dameng behind him.

"Whoosh!"

This time Perry has sharp eyes and a timely pass, and the ball flies to the basket.

When the ball flew in, Dameng kept making small movements and pulled it behind. Pharaoh elbowed Dameng back and caught the ball smoothly. The next moment, he suddenly turned right and made the movement of turning around and attacking the basket.

Dameng reacted quickly, quickly moved half a step sideways, and blocked the front.

But at this time, under the bear step, with the pause of his feet, Lao Wang turned his movement into a blow, and Tieshan broke out in an instant, hitting the back of his right shoulder fiercely.

"Damn!"

Juli got up, and Dameng cursed secretly, his upper body instantly leaned back, and his feet took two small steps back before he stabilized. At this time, the sky above his head was already covered by a shadow.

"boom!"

Lao Wang slammed with one arm, blasting Dameng's basket.

"yeah!"

Lao Wang dunked the super center Dameng on the first goal tonight, and the audience suddenly cheered.

"Dream, isn't it cool?"

He stood in front of the big dream and asked laughingly.

"Go away!"

Dameng wanted to go around, but he refused to let him, always standing in front, so angry that Dameng pushed him.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed at Dameng.

"..."

Dameng was stunned, looking at the referee spreading his hands, what should I do?

The referee made a gesture that violated the rules, and he was so angry that he blushed.

Old Wang laughed so hard that his face was rotten, he approached Dameng and whispered triumphantly: "Look, this is the star whistle. Remember, you can't touch me again."

Dameng took a deep breath, this is an away game, I can bear it.

"Actually, this violation is not wrong. Dameng really pushed people." Zhang Lili laughed at this time.

"Well, yes, old K is defending normally, that's right." Su Qun laughed.

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and the Suns led by 2 points. At this time, Danny Manning came off the bench and Green took a rest.

Mosaic attacked, and Dameng got the ball in the low position on the left wing. He swayed up, down, up, and down again, so that the Lao Wang behind was almost out of gallbladder, feeling like he was fainting.

But Dameng's swaying is not over yet, still swaying, he received another upswing, and then rushed in from Lao Wang who had completely lost his position, and completed a dunk on the head of Danny Manning who returned to the basket.

"Boy, you are no different from two years ago, you are still a stake." After succeeding, Dameng spat out trash talk.

Lao Wang also had to admire Dameng's balance and flexibility. He was shaken a few times, and his balance and sense of direction were lost. Fortunately, his feet didn't move much, otherwise he might break his ankle or sprain his knee.
