MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 534 Fix them tonight!

   Chapter 534 Solve them tonight!

  New York, Jordan touched his scalp, it was a little wet, it was sweat.

   "Hoo!"

  The invisible and huge pressure made him let out a sigh of relief.

His shooting percentage can exceed 60%, which is the best state. Not only does his jump shot feel better, but he also makes a lot of layups, but such a state is rare, and it is impossible to make frequent shots. It is a very good state to be able to achieve more than 50%. .

   He didn't know if Old K could perform like this on a regular basis. For the first time today, Old K showed a strong attacking ability of nearly two points, which shocked him.

  According to the data he knows, O'Neal's nearly two-point shooting rate is only 43%, and the old K is 60%, which is 17% worse, which is a huge gap.

  If Old K reduces the attack at the basket, he will mainly focus his shots in the near two-point area, and the physical energy consumption will be greatly reduced. This season, he has made 25 shots per game in the regular season, and now he can make 35 shots or even more.

   If you count 35 shots and keep a 60% hit rate, how many points can you get?

  He did the math, not the free throws, that's 42 points.

   After calculating this data, he shuddered.

   In other words, Old K has not done his best today, he can make more shots, because his efficiency is much higher than his teammates.

   Maybe the old K just feels very good today, but even if the shooting rate of the last two points is only 50%, it is a very bad thing.

   His overall shooting rate in the playoffs is only 47.5%, and his shooting rate for nearly two points is only 37%. He can't beat Old K by himself, only O'Neal.

   Fortunately, O'Neal is in very good shape now, with a hit rate of 61% in the playoffs. Although it is not as efficient as the old K, he can compete with the old K one or two. The shortcomings are made up by his advantages on the outside.

The only problem is that with Old K's current offensive firepower of nearly two points, and his physical fitness, he can completely surpass O'Neal in the number of shots. With more points, he can forcefully suppress O'Neal's head and form a bigger advantage inside. , he worried that his advantage in the perimeter could not make up for this gap.

   picked up the phone, he dialed Phil Jackson, and asked, "Phil, have you watched the game? What do you think of the current old K?"

   There was silence for a few seconds, there was a more obvious gasp, and then Phil Jackson said: "Michael, this is the strongest version of the old K, the attack at the basket is invincible, and the offensive strength in the near two-point area is equally powerful.

   Almost all of his offense is at the rim and in the near two-point area, and now he is the real king of firepower in the paint. He, he should have been hiding his strength, otherwise such a powerful hook, why hasn't he used it before? "

In fact, he was wrong. The reason why Pharaoh's hook is so strong today is not just that the end of the hook is strong, but from the pace to the physical confrontation, and then to the final hook, forming a whole set of The signature technique makes the close-range attack reach the 100th level, which is the overall strength. Otherwise, it is impossible to play such an efficiency just by being strong in the hook.

   Just like Duncan's playing skills, Pharaoh is estimated to have broken through the 100th level, but the efficiency of Duncan's nearly two-point offense is only over 40%, less than 50%.

   Speaking of this, Phil Jackson said hesitantly: "Maybe today it's just that he feels very good, and everyone has a time to explode.

  Michael, we can't determine the ability of old K based on the state of a game, deliberately raise his strength, and put psychological pressure on ourselves for nothing. "

No matter how strong Jordan's willpower was, he was also a little weak. Leaning on the back of the sofa, he asked: "If, I mean, if he really has such a strong offensive ability of nearly two points, what are our chances of winning? What do you think? beat?"

   "I still have time to think about it. But Michael, don't be discouraged, we have a chance, you and O'Neal are as invincible together inside and out." Phil Jackson said.

Jordan nodded slightly. He has played so far this season, that is, the last time he broke out in the G6 game with the green team, and scored 48 points. All the energy will explode in the finals.

  At 1 noon on the 25th, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

   Around the same time, the Trail Blazers’ special plane also arrived in Los Angeles.

   On this day, almost all the media praised Comrade Pharaoh's powerful hook, and gave his hook a name called "Super Little Sky Hook", and some called K's Sky Hook.

The reason why it is called the super small sky hook is because the old king's hooks are shot in the penalty area, not as far as Kareem's hook, so it is called the small sky hook, but because the hit rate is higher than that of Kareem, so Named Super.

  Jabbar’s skyhook can be shot within the free throw line, with a range of more than four meters, reaching a distance of two points in the middle, and can be used with both left and right hands. At present, Pharaoh can only shoot with his right hand, and the range is within three meters.

   "Dad, Daddy..."

   Around two o'clock, Pharaoh returned home, and before he got out of the car, Dabao ran over, holding a gnawed chicken leg in his hand, followed by a "nanny".

  The nanny is actually not an outsider. Liu Changjiang's new daughter-in-law just got married during the Chinese New Year, and then came to the United States to help take care of Dabao at home.

   Lao Wang got out of the car and picked up Dabao, and asked casually, "Dabao, where's mom?"

   "Go to work." Dabao shouted.

   "Where are Dayao and the others?" he asked again.

   "There, play ball." Dabao pointed to the direction of the training room and shouted.

   "Aren't you going to play?" he teased again.

   "Don't fight, I'll eat drumsticks."

   Dabao's little head shook like a rattle, and nibbled at his chicken legs again.

   "Dad, Mom."

   At this time, Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei came out, and Lao Wang hurriedly shouted.

   "Grandma hugs, your dad just came back and needs to rest." Sister Liu took Dabao over.

   "Auntie hugs."

   Liu Changjiang's daughter-in-law quickly picked up Dabao.

   "Son, have you eaten yet?" Wang Aiguo asked.

   "I ate late in the morning, not yet." He said.

   "Then go in and eat, it's always hot." Wang Aiguo said quickly.

  Pharaoh came to the restaurant and just had a few bites when a group of people including Barkley and Dayao came in.

   "Brother Tiejun, teach me to hook." Dayao shouted eagerly after entering the door.

   "Old K, is your hook really that strong now? Is it just a momentary touch?" Barkley asked with a smile.

  Pharaoh laughed and said, "When did I play with my hand?"

   "Just blow it, what was your free throw percentage in the home loss to the Blazers?" Glider laughed.

   "37.5%." Lei Gong laughed.

   Lao Wang smiled without embarrassment: "I deliberately let them win a game, leave some suspense, and contribute to the alliance, can't I?"

   "You'll die if you don't brag." Barkley said angrily.

   "Okay, okay, let K eat first."

  Lightning hurriedly greeted a group of people to leave the restaurant first. Before leaving, he pointed to Liu Wei and Liu Jihua beside him, and said to Lao Wang:

   "Old K, Glider and I will help you train them. The basic skills are pretty good, but the physical talent is a little bit poor. I suggest them to practice your plum blossom steps, and practice your hitting skills like Kobe, what do you think?"

Pharaoh glanced at Liu Wei and Liu Jihua, both of them had eager eyes, he nodded and said, "There are a lot of my training videos in the training room, you can practice by yourself, and I will teach you when you have time. In addition, Kobe Bryant Come on, you are training with him, he's training a little bit now."

   "Thank you Brother Tiejun." Liu Wei and Liu Jihua nodded quickly.

   "Brother Tiejun, what about the hook? I want to learn the step back jump shot." Dayao shouted.

Lao Wang was about to bury his head to eat when he raised his head and said, "My hooks and step-back shots are all related to the use of the plum blossom step. In addition, my hooks are the most suitable technical moves for me. You can't copy them. If you really want to learn, I will teach you and Dazhi later to see if you can learn something."

Barkley said: "These old K's skills, hooks, step back shots, pace, relying on hits, offensive skills at the rim and the post, as well as defense, rebounding skills, etc., to be honest, if you are proficient in them For a thing or two, there's absolutely no problem with mixing up positions in the NBA."

   Glider and Rai Gong nodded when they heard it.

   Dayao, Da to Liu Wei heard this, and the expressions in their eyes became more eager, and they hurried out, eager to go to training.

   That night, the G4 battle of the Eastern Finals started.

   O'Neal and Jordan teamed up to blast the Pacers in one fell swoop on the road, with a big score of 3-1 and the point of the Eastern Conference finals.

   In this game, Hu Weidong had a habit of hitting the iron. He made 4 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He only scored 10 points, with a shooting rate of 36.4%, and his performance was average.

   "Old Hu, you can't throw it blindly, you better cast with glasses on." Lao Wang called and joked.

   "I feel a little worse today." Lao Hu said embarrassedly.

   "The next game is the away game. Jordan and O'Neal definitely want to end the Eastern Conference Finals as soon as possible. You are basically going to be eliminated. Take the opportunity to play better and work harder for the big contract." Pharaoh warned.

   "I won't miss the opportunity." Lao Hu said firmly over there.

"It's better to kill the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, drag them back to Indiana, do it again at home, make a tiebreaker, then the East Finals will be exciting, haha! Hu, play well at Madison Square Garden tomorrow. One point, cut 20+ on Jordan's head, and even hit a few beautiful balls, and you will become famous." Pharaoh laughed.

   Lao Hu over there smiled bitterly: "There is no chance, it's all Reggie Miller and him, and I will play against him for a few minutes at most when I come off the bench."

   "Come over after the Eastern Finals, until they are all here with me, come here to watch the finals, and then go back to China together." Pharaoh said.

"Okay. But the Iron Army, the Knicks are really strong, their bench lineup is not weak, our lineup is solid enough, the bench lineup has some advantages over their bench lineup, but the main lineup just can't beat them. "Old Hu sighed.

"We won't know until we win or lose. Whether it's the main force or the bench, we're no worse than the Knicks. Whether it's O'Neal or Jordan, they were my underdogs in the first five seasons, and I have a natural psychological advantage over them. What I'm thinking about should be how to defeat me and how to suppress me." Lao Wang's voice was full of confidence.

  Hu Weidong praised: "Tie Jun, when I didn't come to the NBA before, I only knew that you were very strong, but I didn't know how strong you were, but when I arrived in the NBA, I knew that your strength was really strong, haha!"

   "Of course, in the NBA, now I say number two, no one dares to say number one, not even Jordan, Lao Tzu is number one in the world." Pharaoh immediately bragged.

  May 26th, the game day of the Western Finals G5 match.

   "The Finals! The Finals..."

   Outside the player tunnel is the home court in full swing, and countless Lakers fans are cheering enthusiastically.

   "Big dream, I will solve you today."

  In the player tunnel, the starters of the two teams stood opposite each other, Pharaoh said in a serious tone.

   "Come if you can."

  Da Meng said fiercely, but there was actually a kind of helplessness in his tone.

   He is very clear that his physical condition is not very good after the game, and the fatigue accumulated in the previous game has not recovered well. He is indeed old.

  Especially in these two games, he was the main defense against Lao K. His physical energy consumption was very large, and some of them couldn't hold it.

   The team also knew that he couldn't hold it, so this game did not arrange him to defend Lao K, but Duncan to defend.

   Looking at Duncan who was standing at the front, Pharaoh smiled silently, and politely reached out to signal the visiting team to play

  Duncan shrank when he saw the cold white light on Old K's teeth, as if he saw a fierce tiger open its **** mouth at him.

   At eight o'clock, the game officially started.

   "Boom!"

   In the restricted area of ​​​​the Lakers, Duncan fell to the floor, and a giant beast flew over him with a strong wind and terrifying pressure.

"boom!"

   The next moment, there was a violent explosion of the basket, and the big dream of returning to the basket from the weak side could not be avoided, and was directly knocked over by Wang Tiejun to the basket.

"yeah!"

  Great Western Forum Arena, all the home fans cheered, and countless Lakers fans stood up from their seats, roaring with excitement.

   "Boom!"

   On the dozens of open-air basketball courts behind Fengshen Street South Street, tens of thousands of people gathered and shouted loudly.

"On the first ball, Old K crushed super No. 1 pick Tim Duncan and super center Olajuwon in the most brutal way. He knocked over the first opponent with a back arch, and then knocked over a big dunk. Dream, he's telling us, it's going to be a wild night, and he's going to rip the Portland Trail Blazers to pieces tonight!"

   The roar of the on-site commentator rolled endlessly over the stadium.

   On the CCTV commentary table, Su Qun roared excitedly: "This is a devastating attack! Old K is invincible, and the combination of Big Dream and Duncan can't stop his offensive. He is pushing the Trail Blazers' penalty area..."

   "Fix them tonight!"

   Under the basket, Pharaoh roared at all the teammates on the court.

   "Fix them tonight!"

  Fortson and Richmond, Kobe, Mark Price, they just felt excited, the adrenaline in their bodies spurted frantically, and they all roared.

   "Fix them tonight!"

   In the audience, the Lakers fans also began to shout, and a huge shout gradually formed. The unified sound wave after wave pushed the Lakers' momentum to the extreme, and also suppressed the Trail Blazers' momentum to the brink of collapse.

  The Blazers did not expect that on the first ball, Old K played such a ferocious low-post attack.

   In the last game, Old King defeated them with a hook by nearly two points. They thought that Old King would still focus on hooking in this game, but Old Wang made them miscalculate.

Two big insiders, a super center, the spiritual leader of the team, a super No. 1 pick who is at the peak of his debut, the core of the team, and a future leader. The Blazers' mentality, like a blow to the head, caused a great blow.

   In the surging Great Western Forum Arena, every Blazers player, even the coaches, felt an invisible boulder weighed down in their hearts, making them breathless.

   Behind the Lakers' bench, the Lightning and Barkley were also discussing the ball enthusiastically.

   "The big dream is going to be unlucky tonight, haha! This old boy deserves it. He is always on the opposite side of Old K. Old K should not let him take a stake in the trading company." Buckley laughed.

   Glider laughed: "If the Lakers lose this time in the Western Conference Finals, the media will definitely laugh at Old K. I suspect that Old K will really kick Da Meng out of the company under his rage."

   "So old K is going to hold on to the big dream tonight." Lei Gong laughed.

   "Haha..." Lightning and others laughed.

   Two minutes later, Pharaoh came back.

He went directly to the basket to get the ball. After getting the ball, he was double-teamed by Duncan and Da Meng. He didn't even bother to use the plum blossom step. With his huge strength and explosiveness, a murderous iron mountain leaned against him. He knocked over Duncan abruptly, and then forcibly stood up, causing his thug to foul at the same time as the big dream.

   The other three Blazers players watched helplessly outside as their leaders and core were pressed and beaten by old K again. The feeling of powerlessness rose from the bottom of their hearts, and their morale was on the verge of an avalanche.

   "I said I'll deal with you tonight, and I'll deal with you tonight."

   Looking at the big dream and the embarrassed Duncan, after Lao Wang left an extremely overbearing remark, he walked towards the teammates who rushed over to celebrate.

   The breathless Big Dream and Duncan looked at each other with a blank look in their eyes. Can they really beat such an old K?

After half a quarter, the two sides tied at 10:16, the Lakers led by 6 points, and the Blazers attacked.

"boom!"

  Duncan took a low position on the left wing and was pushed by Wang to one step beyond the sideline of the paint area to catch the ball.

  Forterson grabbed the rebound, the Lakers attacked, but the fast break failed, and they steadily advanced to the frontcourt.

"Danny Fortson's rebounding ability is getting better and better. In the playoffs, he averaged 28 minutes per game and grabbed 7.5 rebounds. It's only been a season, and he should be the next rebounding monster like a big bug." Zhang Laughed reasonably.

Su Qun said with a smile: "Teilon Hill's rebounding ability is also good. With the two of them around, Old K's rebounding in the playoffs was a little less, and he could devote more energy to offense and defense. bingo."

   Came to the frontcourt. Pharaoh did not play for two rounds. This time, after entering the low position on the left wing, he asked for the ball one step away from the sideline.

  Duncan made a judgment, because the old K's position was too far out. Although he wanted the ball, he should just pretend to attract his defensive attention. It is the Lakers' perimeter that really wants to attack.

   He adopted a strategy of putting one step on the defensive, so that he could prevent the shot but not the shot, and outside of the paint, the old K rarely used the hook to attack, and the old K never showed an offensive threat in that position.

   But at this moment, the ball was passed to Lao K, he was startled, and quickly leaned down, making preparations to prevent breakthrough.

  Pharaoh received the ball basket, leaned down, clapped the ball with both hands, held the ball at the back, and made a preparatory action after catching the ball.
