MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 604 Miss O'Neill
At this time, a luxury urban off-road vehicle drove over and stopped beside it. The dazzling headlights shone on O'Neill's group of people, making them unable to open their eyes.
"What are you doing? Security, if they fight again, I will drive them out. Don't let them in tonight."
The car window was knocked down, and Lao Wang's loud voice sounded.
"Yes, old K."
Not far away, a group of security guards who were staring at this side quickly ran over pretendingly, staring at everyone, looking alert.
O'Neal said angrily: "Old K, do you want to win the Lakers in this way?"
"Try, dare to fight in my territory, see if I dare to throw you out?" Old Wang laughed.
O'Neill aired: "What did you say when you beat up the postman here?"
"Fart, cat food, don't talk nonsense, when did I beat the postman? When did the postman say that I beat him? Ask him, does he admit it?" Old Wang scolded.
"Don't call me cat food!" O'Neill was shaking with anger.
"I warn you, cat food, you can't lose weight anymore, what will my cat eat if you lose weight?" Old Wang laughed.
"Ha ha…"
Barkley and Kenny Smith squatted down laughing, and a group of security guards also staggered from laughter.
At this time, many cars drove in again, including Suns players and some fans in VIP boxes.
Old Wang parked the car, talked to Buckley, and greeted people he knew from time to time, when he saw an acquaintance appear in sight.
"Charles..."
He pointed with his chin, and Buckley looked back, and it turned out to be the postman Karl Malone.
"Hey, Carl, what are you doing here, you bastard?" Buckley shouted loudly.
"I definitely didn't come to see you bastard." Malone retorted.
The relationship between the two is not good. Barkley was once elbowed by the postman and his muscles were torn. In the fourth position, he is an old opponent for many years, and he is very competitive.
Barkley suddenly raised his left hand, shook the two championship rings on it, and said with a smile: "Old K, do you think my two rings look good?"
"Not bad, what kind of ring is this?" Old Wang asked sincerely.
"If you ask sincerely, I will tell you mercifully that this is the championship ring." Barkley said proudly.
"Oh, I remembered. I seem to have six of them. My wife made them into a necklace. I thought it was too heavy and didn't wear it. I don't know where to throw it." Old Wang said with a smile.
"Two bastards!"
When the postman saw the eye-catching ring and heard the shameless conversation between the two, his heart twitched again and again, and he almost had a heart attack. He was so angry that his nostrils were smoking.
"Ha ha…"
Old Wang and Barkley burst out laughing.
The postman took a few quick steps and caught up with the Lakers in front. Seeing the back of O'Neal's head, the postman quickly shouted, "Shaq, wait a minute."
"Postman, are you here to see the Western Conference finals?" O'Neill glanced back, he was not in a good mood and he dealt with it casually.
"Yes." The postman nodded and walked to O'Neill.
"Hey, Carl, hello." Jerry West in front turned and walked back, extending his friendly hand to the postman.
"Hello, Jerry." The postman said with a smile as he stretched out his hand quickly.
"I X!"
Lao Wang and Barkley appeared behind. Seeing this scene, Lao Wang immediately felt bad. The postman will not hook up with the Lakers, right?
"Is his contract over?" He hurriedly asked Barkley.
Barkley looked at Kenny Smith, who nodded and said: "I remember his information, it is indeed over, and now he is a free agent."
"Fuck!"
Old Wang knows that it is really not good. If the postman goes to the Lakers and joins forces with OK, how strong is this lineup?
Kenny Smith said: "The postman played 81 games this season, averaging 36 minutes per game. He also scored 20 points and nearly eight rebounds in the regular season, as well as nearly five assists and 1.7 steals. His shooting percentage was 46.2%. Although it is no longer at the peak, but the strength is still there."
"Old K, are you worried about him joining the Lakers?"
Asked, Barkley said: "This is a problem, but the postman is also injured, and he is forty years old. Once the injury worsens, his state will plummet."
Old Wang shook his head and said: "It's not too serious. Now Kobe and O'Neill can fight among themselves. If we add another postman, the internal conflict may become more serious."
Kenny Smith said with a smile: "If their three superstars are really on the same team, the Sharks and the postman will not compete for Kobe's possession of the ball, but they must make a shot, and there will be no less trouble."
At eight o'clock, the two teams announced their starting rosters.
Lakers: O'Neal, Samaki Walker, Rick Fox, Kobe, Fisher
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Amare Stoudemire, Marion, Anfernee Hardaway, Nash
In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley analyzed: "The Suns eliminated the Blazers with the best record in the league with a score of 4 to 2. This is somewhat beyond the previous media predictions. The strength of the Suns is underestimated. Kenny ,what you think?"
Kenny Smith said: "In the second round, Old K put in a lot of energy on the defensive end. He and Marion's defense largely made up for the defensive loopholes in the other three positions. This is the best time for the Suns to eliminate the Blazers. One of the important reasons."
Barkley said with a smile: "Marion's offensive performance is not as good as in the regular season, but his defense is still strong. This is his most important contribution."
Kenny Smith went on to say: "The Lakers and the Suns belong to the Pacific region. In the four regular season games this season, the Lakers lost three games in a row. They won the last game after the All-Star Game. The Suns have three wins and one loss, and they have an advantage.
However, there was a problem with the cooperation of the previous OK combination. In the end, they resolved their internal conflicts. At the same time, O’Neal’s tonnage was also under control, and then defeated the Suns in the last regular season. We now assess the evidence for the strength of both sides. "
Barkley nodded and said: "But Kobe's knee injury should be a factor affecting the Western Conference Finals. I don't know how big this factor is, because we don't know how serious his injury is."
Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Kobe often plays with injuries. His willpower is quite strong, and a little injury can't affect him."
At the CCTV commentary table, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "From the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers' internal and external core is more stable, with both internal and external offense and defense. The Suns are strong on the inside and weak on the outside.
In this round of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe will definitely strengthen the defense of Nash and Hardaway's back line. Once the Suns' back line is locked, it will be very troublesome, because Marion has no ability to attack with the ball, except for fast breaks and cakes. And open three-pointers, he can't provide more help on the offensive end.
In addition, the Suns' defense against Kobe will be a big problem. No one can guard against his relying on hitting. "
Su Qun nodded and said: "Kobe has always had a problem with old K. The Western Conference Finals is so important, he won't hold back."
On the field, the substitute is warming up.
Ewing and David Robinson meet again.
"King Kong, I wish you good luck next year."
"Admiral, don't give up, you will have hope after three years."
During the regular season, they would greet each other and wish each other good luck, but now they meet in the Western Conference finals, and when it comes time to see who loses and who is eliminated, the two say different things.
Dameng stood on the sidelines and shouted sincerely to the two: "Old fellows, you are as miserable as a dog without a crown for life, I wish you good luck!"
David Robinson and Ewing stared at Big Dream, shut up if you can’t speak!
The postman sitting next to him was just a step away. Damn the big dream, who are you satirizing?
He glanced at the two gleaming championship rings in Dameng's hands, swallowed dryly, and cursed secretly: Burning buns, aren't you afraid of being cut off by someone's fingers?
In the player tunnel, Lao Wang asked with concern: "Kobe, Vanessa didn't call me, didn't she come?"
"No."
Kobe replied angrily, glared at Lao Wang, and just wanted to say: Old K, don't contact my wife if you are fine?
"Snapped!"
Old Wang was stared at, and his only reaction was to immediately slap Kobe on the top of the sky, and cursed: "Stare at me? How dare you stare at me? I can't slap you to death!"
He was waiting to draw again, Kobe quickly jumped back and hid behind O'Neill, O'Neill was in a hurry, fearing that it would hurt Chi Yu, he quickly dodged aside.
Without the meat shield, seeing that Lao Wang wanted to beat him, Kobe hurriedly shouted: "Old K, the game is about to start, you want to move the disk outside, will it affect my state?"
At this time, the visiting team was about to enter the field, and the host was calling their names, so Lao Wang gave up, pointing to the outside and shouting: "Get out!"
"I'm the finale!" Kobe said angrily.
"Squeeze your **** here!" O'Neill's name was shouted outside, but Lao Wang went up and pushed Kobe out of the tunnel.
"Old K, turn your elbows out! I'll never finish with you tonight. Let's see which one of them can block me, Nash or Hardaway? Marion wants to blow him up against me..."
The helpless Kobe was forced to play cursingly, and there was a huge booing immediately. The booing originally received by O'Neal was accepted by him.
Some Suns fans saw that it was Kobe, so they stopped booing and gave some applause instead.
"Huh! Kobe?"
Barkley's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Did O'Neill get rid of Kobe? When did this fat man become so powerful?"
Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Kobe is constantly turning around and shouting something, is he scolding O'Neal?"
Barkley laughed and said: "I don't think it was with O'Neill, maybe he was taught by old K?"
"It's really possible, haha!" Kenny Smith was startled, then nodded again and again.
On the Lakers bench, seeing Kobe playing first, Jerry West and Phil Jackson looked serious. They were afraid that the OK combination would have another conflict.
In the player tunnel, after O'Neal finally played, Lao Wang said to Hardaway and Nash with a solemn expression: "You have to be careful, Kobe is getting stronger and stronger now, he is called Marlon, be careful when defending him, don't force him , be more flexible."
Speaking of this, he has a headache. Forget it, one of these two guys is a big colander, and the other is seriously injured. How can there be any defense?
Only he knows, once such a strong Kobe uses the iron mountain technique on the outside, what kind of lethality it will have on the Suns' outside.
Pulled Marion over and said seriously, "Sean, are you 228 pounds?"
"Well, a little over 103 kilograms." Marion nodded.
"I can't stop it!"
Pharaoh got a headache. Kobe's tonnage must have exceeded 100 kilograms. I don't know how much. Marion's tonnage was smaller under the attack of Iron Mountain.
He taught Marion to use lunge to defend against Kobe's attack, but he also taught Kobe how to deal with it. There was no good way for a while. After thinking about it, he said: "Just use lunge to defend him, don't let him rely on attack." You, force him to shoot jumpers from the outside, no matter how high his shooting percentage is from the outside, there is a limit."
"Understood." Marion nodded quickly.
At half past eight, the game begins.
In the middle circle, Pharaoh and O'Neill are standing opposite each other.
"Shark, how much do you weigh now?"
"This is a secret, you beg me, I will not tell you."
"Miss O'Neill, a woman's weight is indeed a secret."
"Puff! Haha..."
When Lao Wang said a word, everyone on the two teams burst into laughter, including the referee who was about to throw the ball.
"asshole!"
O'Neal was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
Ten seconds later, the Suns go on the offensive.
"Old K, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that the old K did not go low, but landed on the top of the arc, O'Neill asked angrily.
"Pull you out, and then rush in." Old Wang said straightforwardly.
O'Neal had no time to get angry, because Nash had already used the old K's wall to get rid of Fisher and killed him from his side.
At this time, Lao Wang bypassed O'Neill from the left and went down. O'Neill hurriedly followed, but the former was faster, and the latter had to follow on the right, with small movements in his hands, pulling and pulling secretly.
Nash went to the basket, and Fisher chased him very closely. He pulled the ball to the left and passed the ball back to the old K who was running down.
Pharaoh's right elbow resisted O'Neill who was pulling him, and he caught the ball with his left hand, and after a step, he forcibly rose up.
At this time, the Lakers power forward Samas Walker, who returned to the basket, took off to block the block. O'Neal also secretly exerted force and yanked Laowang's right arm.
"boom!"
Being pulled by O'Neal's right arm, Lao Wang forcibly took off with one foot, turned over and smashed a dunk ferociously, and with the sound of violent basket explosion, Walker fell on his back and was dunked by Lao Wang and fell to the basket.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
"what!"
Enthusiastic cheers erupted in the American West Arena.
"Oh, old K completed a high-position pick-and-roll dunk, and his cat food couldn't stop it, haha..." the live commentator laughed loudly.
Seeing the referee running up, Samaki Walker quickly got up and raised his right hand, and O'Neal next to him also raised his right hand.
The referee pointed at Walker and gestured for a thug foul. Two points were scored and a penalty was added.
"It should be O'Neal's foul, and Walker admitted it." Su Qun said.
“In the NBA, power forwards do the dirty work.”
Zhang rationally said something, and then explained: "Although there are powerful power forwards like Duncan and Garnett, the main function of this position remains the same."
"brush!"
On the free throw line, Lao Wang held the basketball with one hand, flicked his wrist and four fingers to the basket at the same time, and the ball crossed an arc and accurately entered the basket.
"Cat food, are you envious?"
While retreating, he teased O'Neal.
"Humph!"
O'Neill gave Lao Wang a sideways look, am I envious? Can I envy your free throws? God can attest, I'm so **** envious.
Came to the frontcourt, suffocated, he rushed directly to the basket.
Pharaoh did not adopt the top defense. O'Neill looks a little thinner, but the tonnage is also quite large.
The most cost-effective defense is not the most effective defense, but it must be the most reasonable defense.
"Old K is going around." Barkley shouted at this time.
Fisher held the ball at the top of the arc, glanced at the basket, and did not choose to pass it in.
Although O’Neal opened up the old K a little bit, there is a certain space for receiving the ball under the basket, but in the regular season, the old K used his stronger jumping ability to often steal the ball, so he couldn’t pass it. He gave it to Kobe on the right wing.
Bryant received the ball, and Marion, who switched defenses, immediately bent down. He turned to the right side, dribbling the ball, and approaching the latter.
At this time, Marion immediately changed his pace and defended with a lunge.
"Old K bastard!"
Kobe cursed secretly, this kind of lunge defense is too annoying, making his sideways attack useless at all, and his breakthrough is also not good, and he will be stuck to the inside.
In order to strengthen the power of hitting sideways, he did not hesitate to gain weight quickly, which caused his knee injury. Now Marion is doing this again, which really makes him depressed.
Fortunately, old K also taught him how to deal with lunge defense. He suddenly made a swing, turned around Marion, and then took a step and dribbled in from the left.
"brush!"
When he reached the right elbow in two steps, he saw that the old K had already stood one step in front of the basket, so he calmly stopped the jumper and hit a ball.
"Fast break!"
"Old K, send it!"
The next moment, Zhang Lili and Su Qun shouted at the same time.
"Whoosh!"
Old Wang caught the ball at the basket, stepped back to the bottom line, threw a big hand, and the ball flew towards Nash who was turning around and going down.
"Snapped!"
Nash took a step away from Fisher, and took the lead to kill the ball across the center line.
Left wing, Marion has passed Kobe and is going down.
Right wing, Hardaway is the same.
After the three of them, Stoudemire is also going down fast.
The Lakers are very familiar with the Suns' tactics, and they returned to defense with all their strength from the outside.
"Squeak!"
Nash made an emergency stop at the top of the arc with the ball, and Fisher rushed over. After the emergency stop, a fork came directly.
On the left wing, Marion was overtaken by Kobe and stopped at the three-point line.
Right wing, Hardaway was entangled by Fox.
"Huh!"
There was no good chance for the attack from the left and right wings, but at this time Stoudemire rushed in from Nash's left side. His speed was faster than Samaki Walker. With a 20-meter sprint, he had already thrown away his opponent by more than two meters.
Nash quickly lobs the ball to the front of Stoudemire. Stoudemire jumps up, catches the ball in the air with both hands, and then splits the dunk with one hand.
"boom!"
As the explosion of the basket sounded, the cheers of the American West Arena also exploded.
"2.1 seconds, this attack took 2.1 seconds!" Barkley said excitedly.
"Old K quickly made a pass, Nash made a second pass, Stoudemire ended the offense, and the Suns played a whirlwind fast-paced offense." Kenny Smith said excitedly.
