Chapter 286 The Way to Defeat the Bull

12:6, the Suns attack.

Westphal frowned a little.

He is not worried about mosaics, playing mosaics, he is still very confident, he is worried about the Bulls and the finals.

The Suns are somewhat similar to the Magic. They both have a behemoth. Once the behemoth is pulled out and the biggest rim protector is lost inside, how will the opponent defend when they rush in?

Mosaic doesn't have a good outside line, Barkley can hit in, the Bulls don't have Barkley, but they have the more terrifying Jordan + Pippen. Once the old K can't return to defense, he will be passive and can only rely on supplementary defense from other positions.

"boom!"

That's when Drexler took a shot over Mario Eli's head, and the ball missed and bounced high.

On the left side of the basket, Dameng was inside, caught Wang Tiejun outside, and was about to take off, when a huge force came from behind, and he lost his center of gravity at once, and jumped up without jumping up.

"damn it!"

He cursed secretly, knowing it was bad.

"boom!"

The next moment, the giant beast behind him flew into the air and hit his back, causing him to stagger forward, and then there was the sound of exploding baskets above his head.

"Beautiful! Old K made a wonderful dunk on Dameng's head." Bill Wharton roared excitedly.

"Look carefully, Old K made a close-fitting effort in the back, and it was this effort that prevented Dameng from jumping up." John Hanks said.

"Yes, it's old K's unique skill to be able to exert force in such a close-fitting state." Bill Wharton laughed.

The two were right. Just now, Wang Tiejun was hit by a close-fitting iron mountain, which made Dameng unable to jump up.

While running forward, Dameng said, "Old K, I'm going to the K Martial Arts Hall during the offseason to learn your style of fighting. You seem to have said that this is a kind of martial art."

Old Wang rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "This is real Kungfu, non-true disciples can't learn it, and K Martial Art Museum doesn't sell this kind of martial arts class."

"Can't learn? Believe it or not, I will sue you for fraud?" Dameng said angrily.

"Believe it or not, I have suspended your VIP qualification?" Old Wang said.

"..." Dameng was really angry.

"Now I have a lot of VIP customers. In order to avoid the enemy, I don't plan to expand VIP customers in the alliance in the future." Old Wang said proudly.

"You are a big bastard!" Dameng cursed.

After the first quarter, 34:26, the Suns led away by 8 points.

On the Mosaic side, Dameng was responsible for pulling Wang Tiejun away, and Barkley played the main attack. He played for 10 minutes in the whole quarter, made 8 of 5 shots and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points, which was Mosaic's first scoring point.

Dameng played the whole quarter here, didn't take many shots, made 5 of 2 shots, scored only 4 points, no free throws, and all 5 offenses were jump shots outside the paint.

The two major inside shots and points accounted for more than half of the team, and there were not many outside shots.

On the Suns' side, Wang Tiejun didn't have the main offense, he was mainly playing from the outside. The Suns had an overall advantage on the outside. If they didn't play, it would be a waste.

凯文约翰逊4投3中，2罚2中，拿到了8分。

Dan Marley made 3 of 2 shots and scored 4 points.

德雷克斯勒5投3中，三分球2投1中，2罚2中，拿到了9分。

王铁军3投2中，3罚2中，拿到了6分。

Green went 2 for 0 and didn't score.

In the ABC TV commentary, Bill Walton analyzed: "In comparison, the Suns have an obvious advantage on the perimeter, and they have basically blown up the mosaic perimeter."

John Hanks said: "The three main players of the Suns made 14 of 8 shots from the outside, with a shooting percentage of 57.1%. Among them, there were four fast breaks, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points. The efficiency is very good. The Mosaic team's three major players made 9 of 3 shots, 2 of 1 free throws, and only scored 7 points. The difference is too much."

Bill Walton added: "In terms of rebounds, Dream + Barkley did not have an advantage against the old K + AC Green. The rebound ratio was 12:11, and the Mosaic team only had one more. In terms of turnovers, Mosaic made 6 turnovers in a single quarter, and the Suns only had two. In terms of shots, Mosaic had two fewer than the Suns."

John Hanks said: "In terms of overall shooting percentage, although Barkley mainly plays low post and has a good efficiency, the Suns are 8 percentage points higher. Adding shots, they lead by [-] points.

Note that this is the case when Old K has no main attack. Once he exerts strength in the low post, the situation of the Mosaic team will immediately become more serious. "

Bill Walton guessed: "If Mosaic can't get back the disadvantage, I guess Old K won't exert too much effort in the Western Conference Finals."

John Hanks was taken aback, and then said: "It's also possible that he can blow up opponents with outside shots. His physical fitness can indeed be preserved to prepare for the finals."

But they guessed wrong. Wang Tiejun started his main attack from the second quarter, 9 of 6 shots and 6 of 4 free throws.

In the third quarter, the Suns Wang Tiejun took a strong position in the low post, compressed the opponent's defense line, opened up space for the outside line, and supported the ball in the low post. The three outside lines made another shot, leading by 25 points in the three quarters, and then Mosaic gave up the game.

At the end, 92:112, the Suns led by 20 points and won the G1 game very smoothly.

王铁军三节31分钟，15投10中，命中率66.6%，12罚8中，命中率66.6%，轰下了28分12篮板7助攻1抢断3盖帽3失误4犯规的数据。

There are not many shots against Dameng. Today is mainly Barkley's shots. Barkley has a greater advantage against AC Green.

大梦17投8中，命中率47%，3罚2中，拿到18分。

巴克利27投15中，命中率55.5%，三分球2投零中，10罚6中，拿到了36分15篮板3助攻2抢断4盖帽3失误3犯规的全能数据，进攻效率超过了以往。

After the game, Lao Wang saw that Dameng was a little frustrated, and stepped forward to comfort him: "Dameng, don't be sad, it's normal for you to lose to us."

At this point, the conversation changed: "But you are a product with 14 points, and you have the face to win the MVP? Are you the weakest MVP in history?"

"..."

Dameng's eyes are about to burst, damn it, it doesn't count if you win me, but you still want to stab me?

"Let's go, let's go! Old K, hurry up and accept the interview, the reporter is waiting for you." Barkley hurriedly inserted between the two to prevent them from quarreling.

"Brother, don't rush away. To celebrate the victory, let's have a drink together later." Lao Wang greeted Barkley.

Barkley smiled wryly.

"Old K, are you going?"

Dameng blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and clenched his fists.

"Ha ha……"

After teasing Dameng and Barkley for a while, Pharaoh turned around to accept the reporter's on-site interview.

"Old K, the Suns beat Mosaic, what do you think is the most important reason?" ABC TV reporter asked.

"Their inner advantage is less than the disadvantage of the outer line, and the inner line needs the support of the outer line, and there is no way to rely on themselves to expand their advantages. This is the most important reason." Lao Wang laughed.

"Do you really think you can sweep the mosaic?" The reporter asked again.

"Based on the mosaic team in G1, they cannot avoid being swept away." Old Wang laughed.

"If you reach the finals, do you think you can beat the Bulls?" The reporter finally asked.

"We have a psychological advantage against the Bulls in the finals. I think our winning percentage is higher. Although their outside line is strong, they cannot form an absolute advantage over our outside line. I can form an absolute advantage over them in the low post. We will definitely defeat them and win the championship." Wang Tiejun said very confidently.

"Batt!"

In a conference room at the headquarters of the Chicago Bulls, Phil Jackson turned off the TV, turned to face Jordan and the others, and said solemnly: "What he said is correct, but not entirely correct. I believe our perimeter has enough defensive energy to suppress their perimeter. What do you think?"

"Of course."

Jordan stood up with absolute paranoia on his face, staring fiercely at all his teammates with bright and sharp eyes, and said very firmly: "We will definitely cut off their internal and external connections, destroy their organizational functions, and then use our offense to destroy them. This time we must defend the title, we must!" By the end, he was almost roaring.

The tyrant-like aura carried endless tyranny, sweeping everyone in this conference room, even Pippen was firmly suppressed by his powerful aura.

On the 24th, the Bulls took advantage of the momentum at home and won consecutive victories against the Magic, winning two consecutive victories.

It's not that the Magic couldn't play well, but he played quite well. He completely dominated the opponent on the offensive end. He made 20 of 15 shots and a 75% shooting rate. He made 18 of 6 free throws and scored 36 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.

The vast majority of offenses occurred under the basket, and the proportion of offenses under the basket was as high as 85%. The Bulls could not stop him inside and were defeated.

But on the defensive end, the Magic coaching staff asked him to go out, which killed him. He ran back and forth, exhausted to death, but the effect was not good.

Jordan and Pippen jointly contributed 63 points. At the same time, in the perimeter defense, this pair of the top perimeter combination in league history sent a total of 6 steals, forcing the Magic to make 14 turnovers from the perimeter. They blasted the Magic with their extreme offensive and defensive performance.

The Bulls won two consecutive victories, which made the national media optimistic about the Bulls' title defense. Even if the Suns beat Mosaic, they could not stop the media from increasing the Bulls' chances of winning.

ESPN adjusted the Bulls' championship chances on the 25th, from 55% to 60%, while the Suns' 35% championship chances dropped to 30%.

ESPN gave its own explanation: "The Magic are similar to the Suns in terms of lineup and tactical style. If the Bulls can blow up the Magic, they can also blow up the Suns.

Once the old K, who is less athletic than O'Neal, is pulled out, the Suns' restricted area will become a no-man's land, and Jordan and Pippen can do whatever they want in it.

On the offensive end, the Suns' outside line is likely to be locked by the Bulls' outside line. Old K can't get support in the low post. The only use of his energy is to explode himself. "

"Fuck you self-destruct!"

In the hotel room, Lao Wang cursed, went up and pressed the TV switch fiercely.

Can magic compare with the sun?He has a very clear understanding of this and will never look down on himself.

The Suns have an extra glider on the perimeter. It is impossible for the Bulls to lock the Suns' three perimeters. After the perimeters are widened, it is difficult for Jordan and Pippen to double-team. It is impossible to lock them down with a single defense. As long as the ball can go in, he can blow up the Bulls' interior.

But he can't think highly of himself, because it is difficult for the Suns to defend against the Bulls' offense. If he is pulled out, the result may be the same as O'Neal, and his penalty area will be smashed into scum.

It is still very difficult for the Suns to win against the Bulls. This Bulls team is stronger than the Bulls during the two consecutive championships, with stronger insiders and Jordan.

However, it's not impossible, as long as he can kill the Bulls' inside line, isn't it just two inside lines floating outside?Kill them, what's left of the bull?As long as one is injured, do the Bulls still have the capital to play open tactics?

At noon, the New York Knicks held a media conference and announced a news that the team had signed a contract with Nelson, and Nelson would take over the Knicks.

The old Nelson coached the Warriors for seven seasons. Last season, because of his relationship with the No. [-] pick Webber, Webber ran to the Bullets, and he was eventually fired by the Warriors.

……

That night, the Western Conference finals G2 game started, the starting lineups of the two sides remained unchanged, after three quarters, 85:85, the two teams tied.

Barkley continued to attack in the low post. He had an advantage against AC Green. He scored 21 points in three quarters and his shooting percentage reached 49%, which was not as good as the previous game, but it was also in line with his average performance in the playoffs. His average shooting percentage in the first two rounds of the series was 50%.

Dameng increased his shots today, but he didn't hit the basket many times. First, he used Wang Tiejun's defensive strategy of preventing penetration and not preventing shots to get some space for shots. Second, after pulling out, he used Wang Tiejun to return to the basket to get some open space.

It's just that the Suns stepped up defense today, and Drexler was responsible for defending him, and his efficiency was not very high.

A total of 15 of 7 shots were made in the three quarters, and the shooting rate was 46.6%. Although it was not bad, it was lower than the 53% shooting rate in the previous two rounds.

The two jointly contributed 38 points, but this is not the reason why Mosaic can tie with the Suns. The most important reason is that Mosaic replaced the backup point guard alien Sam Cassell.

This ugly guy used his back to make Kevin Johnson lose face. He played 21 minutes in three quarters, made 9 of 5 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws.

In addition, today the Suns' outside touch is not as good as playing. Wang Tiejun did not attack with all his strength in the low post, so he was tied by the Mosaic team.

张合理分析道：“铁军三节30分钟，11投7中，11罚6中，现在拿到20分16篮板4助攻4盖帽2失误3犯规的数据。

Today, he still mainly does the work of supporting the ball in the low post, controlling rebounds, and defending. He doesn't invest much in the offensive end. "

Su Qun said: "Should he be the main attacker in the last quarter? Without his efficiency in the low post, the overall shooting percentage of the Suns today is much lower than that of Mosaic.

Fortunately, old K has good rebounds and good defense. He has two caps from Dameng and two from Barkley, otherwise he will fall behind. "

Lao Zhang nodded and said: "He will definitely play in the last quarter. Besides, the glider performed well today, scoring 24 points. His scoring efficiency is a bit worse than Barkley's, with only 45% shooting. It's not his scoring, the Suns are already behind."

The last quarter began at this time, and the two sides sent out all the main lineups.

The Suns go first.

Buzzing, the home fans began to cheer for the team, and the huge sound wave after wave caused a lot of psychological pressure on the visiting team.

Kevin Johnson held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Cassell pushed forward, and glanced at the ugly face in front of him. The handsome man had a thought that he couldn't bear to see.

"Ugly star..."

He wanted to say some trash talk, but when he said it, he realized that he had said it wrong.

"What did you say?" Cassel said angrily.

Although I'm a second grader, you can't make personal attacks like this, can you?
"Whoosh!"

At this time, Kevin Johnson passed the ball in, and the angry Cassel didn't react.

In the low position, Wang Tiejun came out of the basket, suddenly ran back and slid to the basket again, when the ball came in, he flew straight up.

"boom!"

Under the lob dunk, thousands of away fans cheered instantly.

"Sorry, Sam, if I say I'm wrong, can you accept it?" Kevin Johnson said sincerely to Cassel.

"Humph!"

Cassel turned his head angrily.

What can he do? Standing in front of him is the league's top point guard. He is a sophomore with no human rights.

"Kevin, what did you say wrong?" Lao Wang ran past and asked casually.

Just as Kevin Johnson was about to answer, seeing Kassel's murderous eyes, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say anything."

Cassel advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, vowing in his heart that he would strike lightning to avenge the ugly star who called him just now.

Instead of going to the top of the arc, he came to the right wing, turned around, and started hitting Kevin Johnson with his back.

While playing Lightning with his back, he observed the weak side. If the old K returned to the penalty area, he would immediately pass the ball to Dameng. He passed several balls in this way in the first three quarters.

This kind of cross pass can directly break through the Suns' defense line. Even if the old K returns to defend Dameng, Dameng misses a shot. With Barkley under the basket, the offensive rebound is also guaranteed.

Sure enough, when he arched the lightning and pushed two steps in, he saw that Old K began to shrink towards the penalty area. There was an open space in Dameng, and he quickly pulled the ball from the floor, and made a wide-range cross pass to the weak side.

"Dream!"

At this moment, Wang Tiejun, who was shrinking towards the restricted area, rushed forward quickly.

But instead of returning to defend Dameng, he pounced upwards. Cassel's cross pass line was just two meters away, and he was ready to steal the ball.

"Snapped!"

Taking a step forward, he jumped up, his big hand cut into the passing line in an instant, and the ball was successfully intercepted.

"Damn!"

Cassel hated himself for not estimating the distance between the passing line and the old K before passing the ball.

"Beautiful! Old K actually cut off Kassel's pass to Dameng, it's unbelievable!" Bill Wharton shouted in surprise.

The Suns played a fast break. Drexler received a pass from Wang Tiejun and went to the basket from the right wing. When he made a three-step layup, Dameng chased him.

As a center with a height of 213 cm, it is also extremely amazing that Dameng can complete the pursuit and defense when the opponent is playing a fast break.

Of course, this is also related to his position. He was almost on the three-point line just now, and the distance to return to defense is shorter, which is faster than returning to defense from a low position.

"Snapped!"

Under the big hand, the ball bounced off the board and flew over Dameng's head.

"yeah!"

The exciting chasing cap set the audience on fire.

But in the next moment, the boiling cheers in the Compaq Center stopped abruptly.

A giant beast rushed in, lifted off from the back of Dameng, grabbed the rebounding basketball with both hands, and smashed it forward.

"Oh!"

Dameng, who had just finished chasing the cap, was knocked forward and fell to the floor before he had time to turn around, in a panic.

"boom!"

Almost at the same time, the Mosaic team's basket was exploded, and a behemoth hung on the basket, floating with the basket.

"yeah!"

This time it was the turn of the Suns fans to cheer.

"awesome!"

Su Qun cheered and roared excitedly: "Old K has also kept up with the fast-break rhythm, he is only one step behind Dameng..."

"It can't be much slower, because Dameng is ahead, he can't overtake, I think Tiejun's speed is still under control." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Hakim, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Dameng was lying on the floor without getting up, Barkley rushed up.

"It won't knock off the big tooth, right?" Old Wang teased.

"asshole!"

Dameng, who was lying on his stomach, jumped up angrily, he was not hurt, he was obviously detained, so he got up immediately in embarrassment.

Obviously sent a chasing hat that boosted morale, but was immediately blocked. Not only did it fail to improve morale, but its own morale was suppressed. This kind of depression is really indescribable.

Mosaic attack.

Dameng still pulled it out, pulling Wang Tiejun out.

Cassel didn't give up, and when he saw the old K shrinking, he sent a cross pass again.

This time, he paid attention to the position of old K and avoided the risk of being cut off.

But this time, Wang Tiejun didn't return to defend Dameng, but directly returned to defend the basket.

At the same time, Drexler, the glider outside the three-point line on the right, pounced on the big dream two steps away, implemented a supplementary defense, and emptied small forward Mario Eli.

When Dameng catches the ball, the glider is already in front of him. Should he throw it himself, or pass it to Mario Eli?He opted to pass the ball to the open spot.

"Oops!"

But when he was passing the ball, he saw that there was one more person in front of Mario Eli, and Kevin Johnson at the top of the arc was in place.

Mario Eli received the ball and had to make a strong shot.

He is a swingman, 196 centimeters, and Kevin Johnson, who is 185 centimeters, still has a dislocation height advantage.

Unfortunately, as a standard role player, the ball was still missed.

"boom!"

The ball was a little short and bounced off the basket.

At the basket, Wang Tiejun and AC Green faced Barkley alone. He blocked Barkley with his right elbow and grabbed the rebound with one hand.

Although Barkley is a rebounding monster, he is seriously not tall enough in front of Lao Wang, and he does not have the peak jumping ability. He cannot grab Lao Wang who is equally good at rebounding.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart, thinking that old K's rebounding was taught by him alone, and he really taught his apprentice to play as a master!
