MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 606 punch the shark
"The admiral is over! It's over, it's over!"
Barkley got up from the commentary seat, leaned over and stared at the screen on the table, his eyes widened.
"Is there a violation? No, no..."
Kenny Smith pointed at the screen and yelled: "Just now the old K mentioned catching the ball above the waist. There is no violation there, and it is a violation only below the waist."
On the field, David Robinson was coughing and having chest pains, but he also felt numb, like being hit by a car and his chest was crushed.
He knew he was doomed, and it was impossible for him to play in the subsequent series. He might have to stay in the hospital to watch his teammates play in the Western Conference finals. Without him, can O'Neal alone carry the old K? Is there any hope for his championship? Thinking of this, there is a kind of sadness rising from the bottom of my heart.
The game was interrupted, and the referee waved to the Lakers' bench, asking the team doctor to come up and deal with it.
"Admiral?"
Kobe rushed over and took a look, and he knew it was troublesome. The ribs must have been broken by the old K, but he didn't know how many were broken, and he didn't know if there was internal bleeding.
"Old K, isn't it too cruel?" He asked sullenly.
"Fuck you! This is Lao Tzu's routine operation back then, neither foul nor illegal." Old Wang said casually.
The Lakers team doctor came up to check and said: "The third, fourth, and fifth ribs were broken, and the fourth shattered bone."
Everyone's expression changed, and they all looked at Old Wang.
On the sidelines, Dameng sighed: "Oh, the general has suffered a lot, he's an old bone, what are you doing with the old K? Isn't it good to retreat to the basket to double-team him?"
Lei Gong said: "He didn't expect that old K would use sideways attack again. Since the introduction of the K law, old K has never used it again."
Glider said: "Now that O'Neal does not have the general as a substitute, his playing time will definitely be extended. The focus will definitely be on the offensive end, and the defensive end and rebounding will be reduced. It is a very good thing for the Suns."
Dameng said: "As long as the old K pulls above the waist, who would dare to block him? Just now the Lakers were man-to-man defense and did not double-team the old K. Now they must play zone defense and double-team him."
David Robinson was carried away quickly, and the arena had arranged ambulances and emergency doctors, and he was sent directly to the hospital for surgery.
In order to be cautious, the referee ran to the scorer's table to watch the playback, and finally decided that this was a normal offense, no foul, no violation, but a fine for smashing a backboard.
"Now that the old K's mobility has improved, he can completely pull up to the position above the waist and use sideways to attack. The league must expand the scope of illegal use of the shoulder." A Lakers assistant coach said.
"Good, it should go below the elbow," said another assistant.
Phil Jackson also couldn't help nodding. It is indeed possible to expand to the position below the elbow area, and it can be used above the elbow area, so it will not affect Kobe.
Moreover, it is impossible for the league to really expand the K-law to the entire stadium. It is enough to limit the inside players, but it is impossible to limit the outside players.
But what now? His head is a bit big.
Without David Robinson as a substitute, who will take the fifth position after O'Neal is off the field?
Now the team only has Samarko as a marginal backup center, and there are two backup power forwards left. Facing the old K, what is the use?
Also, how to defend the old K who is above the waist now?
In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley said excitedly: "I never thought that I could see old K's sideways attack in the game. It's so exciting, haha..."
He suddenly saw Kenny Smith tilting his head away from the camera and winking at him, and immediately realized that he was a little carried away, and quickly made amends: "Yes, I feel sorry for David Robinson's injury, yes, I will go to the hospital to visit him later."
Kenny Smith then changed the subject and said: "Now the Lakers have encountered a problem. They need to face the old K's sideways attack again. Yes, the current K rule only applies below the waist, and the old K pulls to the waist. Above, you can avoid the restrictions of the K law, which is a big problem that the Lakers must face."
Barkley said: "Maybe the league will modify the K-law, but I can't imagine that when the K-law spreads above the waist, it will have much impact on other players, even outside players. Anyway, Kobe's strength is at least A drop of 30%."
New York, David Stern was lost in thought.
He doesn't want to expand the application scope of the K law. In fact, he doesn't want the K law at all. The K law not only restricts the old K, but also restricts all inside players. So last time the old K just retired, he canceled the K law.
Twenty minutes later, the game restarted, and soon the first quarter ended. At 38:40, the Suns led by two points.
"The score is really high, this is the Western Conference Finals!" Su Qun said.
"We can't defend against the opponent's offense, and a high score is inevitable. In the next game, O'Neal should play for a while, and Kobe may increase his personal offense." Zhang Reasonable said.
The second quarter started soon, and the game was interrupted for 20 minutes just now, so the core of both sides is on the court.
Kobe received the ball from the right-wing three-point line, Joe Johnson stretched out his arms and blocked the front, and Marion, who was in the middle, also rushed to his side with the pass.
"boom!"
The biggest function of the zone defense is to limit the breakthrough of outside players. Kobe's breakthrough is also restricted, so that he has no chance of singles, so he has to turn around and fall back to make a jumper.
Pharaoh caught O'Neal and took the backcourt rebound. The outside line had already turned around and went down quickly. He immediately passed it to Nash, and then ran to the frontcourt.
The fast break failed this time, and the Lakers quickly returned to defense and switched to positional warfare.
Pharaoh lifted up again, pulled it above the left waist and below the left elbow, and asked for the ball.
"Old K, don't try to hurt me!" O'Neal, who followed up, said fiercely.
Lao Wang glanced at O'Neill's fat chest, curled his lips, I'm not stupid, bumping into you, wouldn't it be easier for me to go around you?
Below him is Shaquille O'Neal, and one step above is Rick Fox.
The Lakers also play two-one-two zone defense. Fox guards the free-throw line. Although he has not defended him yet, as long as Nash passes the ball, it only takes one step, and Fox's double-team will be around him immediately.
Stoudemire went to the right wing, not in the paint. Lakers power forward Madsen was guarding the right waist, and there was no one under the basket.
Nash was at the top of the arc, and instead of passing the ball to Lao Wang, he suddenly moved to the right wing, and the Lakers' defensive formation was also forced to move to the right.
At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly turned around, bypassed O'Neal and rushed into the paint area.
The next moment, Nash, who was moving to the right wing, suddenly passed the ball behind his backhand, and the ball went straight to the basket.
"boom!"
Old Wang flew up, caught the ball in the air, and took advantage of the opportunity to complete a dunk.
"Beautiful! The cooperation between Nash and old K is getting better and better." Su Qun said excitedly.
"In positional warfare, Nash is the core of the outside line, and Iron Army is the core of the inside line." Zhang Lili laughed.
"brush!"
Kobe came to the left wing this time, passed the ball to O'Neal in the low post, and then immediately cut inside, received O'Neal's pass, went to the basket and evaded Stoudemire who was returning to the defense, and successfully picked the basket with a backhand.
"Yes, the OK combination perfectly played Phil Jackson's triangle offense." Barkley shouted.
"Kobe seems to be a little slower now." Kenny Smith said.
"Don't you see how strong he is now? This kid must have gained weight again, so his knee was injured, but I don't know what his tonnage is now." Barkley laughed.
Lao Wang retreated to the bottom line and made a quick shot, but the Suns' fast break didn't come out. Fox and Fisher quickly returned to defense and blocked Nash and Marion's fast break. Nash pulled the ball out of it again. , into positional warfare.
Pharaoh still sits above the waist and below the elbow, and asks for the ball.
This time, Nash broke through from the left elbow with the ball, used Lao Wang's pick and roll to get rid of Fisher, bypassed O'Neal, and rushed into the paint.
O'Neal turned back to defend the basket, Nash pulled up from the basket, and suddenly made a cross pass. The basketball fell into the hands of Lao Wang who followed O'Neal into the paint area. Lao Wang immediately jumped up, held the ball high in his right hand, and passed O'Neal slashed hard at the basket.
"asshole!"
As soon as O'Neill turned around, he was hit and staggered back. The tonnage of 150 kilograms could not withstand the impact of Lao Wang.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
There was a violent basket blast, accompanied by the referee's whistle.
"Ohoo!"
"The flat-basket tomahawk-style buckle! The old K buckled the cat food, and he is killing O'Neill..."
There were huge cheers and roars from the live commentator.
"Xiao Yugan, I think you are still only capable of being cat food." Old Wang laughed.
O'Neill glared at Pharaoh sadly, but didn't reply, and ran forward.
"ball!"
Straight into the basket, with his left elbow pushing Pharaoh to the left, he shouted at Fisher who was holding the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The ball flew in.
At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly turned around, dodged O'Neill's elbow against his, blocked in front of O'Neill, completed the circle in time, and then took off to steal the ball.
"asshole!"
Unwillingly, O'Neill yanked Lao Wang's jersey behind his back, and pulled Lao Wang who had just jumped up to the floor directly, without even a protective action.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle blew.
"Ouch, O'Neill made a big move!" Zhang Lili exclaimed in CCTV's commentary seat.
"O'Neal got into trouble!" Barkley immediately shouted in the TNT commentary booth.
"Fuck!"
Lao Wang was so angry that he got up and rushed forward, which was an iron mountain.
"Boom!"
O'Neill snorted, was knocked over, his back hit the floor, and the players around him felt the floor jump.
"War is about to start!" Barkley roared excitedly.
"Calm down, Tie Jun!" Zhang Lili shouted anxiously.
O'Neill slipped several meters backwards, Pharaoh jumped up and rode on the former, and just punched him in the face, causing O'Neill to cry out in pain.
At this time, Kobe and others rushed forward and pulled Lao Wang up, and the rest of the two teams separated the two of them one after another, trying to dissuade them.
"Old K, don't mess around, if you get sent off, it doesn't make sense for me to win the Suns." Kobe roared loudly.
"You want to beat me too?" Lao Wang glared at Kobe.
"Not necessarily." Kobe glared back.
"Staring at me again?"
With a slap, Pharaoh waved his hand and slapped Kobe's cap.
Seeing Kobe being beaten, the corner of the referee's mouth twitched and he turned his head away, as if he didn't see it.
"Poor Kobe!"
Jerry West just shrugged helplessly on the sidelines. Kobe has a high status in the Lakers, but in front of old K, he can only be taught a lesson. He has seen this kind of scene a lot before and is used to it.
"Haha, Kobe was taught a lesson by old K again!" Barkley laughed.
Kobe covered his head, his bald head hurt a little, and he said angrily: "Old K, hundreds of millions of people are watching, you've gone too far! You're going to blow your face again!"
"Should I teach you to look at the location? You try to look through it?" Old Wang said angrily.
Kobe didn’t dare to disobey Old K anymore. He knew that Old K’s temper was sometimes bad, so he stepped back and said, “Calm down, I don’t have the same knowledge as you now.”
O'Neill had already got up, was hit hard enough, and fell hard enough, clutching his chest and gasping for breath, his hands and legs were a little weak.
The referee made a penalty, giving O'Neill a first-level malicious technical foul, and Lao Wang a physical foul, which can be regarded as a board for each.
O'Neill, whose face was already swollen, glanced at Lao Wang, walked silently to the sidelines, and signaled for a substitution. He can't play now and needs to rest.
The Lakers replaced substitute center Samarko, and the game continued.
Barkley said with a smile: "O'Neill's behind-the-scenes pull is a little bad. His relationship with old K has always been good, but I'm afraid this time he will turn his face."
"And it was pulled after the old K jumped up. The key is that he has not taken any protective action yet. It is indeed dangerous. O'Neill is a little impulsive." Kenny Smith said.
This game became a watershed. Although O'Neal played again after that, his condition was gone, and Lao Wang had a big explosion. Although Kobe tried his best to resist, but with his own strength, he was unable to compete with Lao Wang. The Lakers As a result, the G1 game was lost.
In this battle, Kobe scored 43 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.5%, which is not low, because the Suns played zone defense, and he was always double-teamed.
Lao Wang scored 46 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, and his shooting percentage reached 64.5%.
After the game, Wang Tiejun was surrounded by the media, and O'Neill was also surrounded by the media not far away, unable to walk.
"Old K, are you angry at O'Neill's back pulling action?" A reporter asked.
"I'm sorry, his actions can easily hurt me, so I taught him a lesson on the field. If there is another game, I won't do it on the field." Old Wang said.
"Will you and him still be friends?" the reporter asked.
"I hope our conflicts on the court will not affect my relationship with him off the court." Lao Wang said calmly.
"Shaq, do you regret pulling old K down from behind and not making a protective move?" On the other side, the reporter asked.
"I was a little impulsive at the time, and I made a big move. I'm sorry." O'Neill said.
"Is he so impulsive because he was dunked by Old K in the last round?" The reporter asked.
"I'm sorry." O'Neill avoided the question with some embarrassment.
"Shaq, are you going to play heads-up with old K later?" Another reporter asked.
"NO."
If I can beat him, I will fight him one-on-one now. O'Neill suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and immediately shook his head.
"Are you worried that old K will go to the visiting team's locker room to find you?" The reporter asked again.
"He's already beaten me, what else is he going to do?" O'Neill touched his red and swollen left cheek, a little sad and indignant.
"Puff!"
A reporter next to him couldn't help but laughed.
After the on-site interview was over, Lao Wang bid farewell to the fans and left the stadium with his teammates.
A group of Lakers players were in front. Seeing that fat man O'Neill, he took a few steps to catch up.
"Old K, what do you want to do?"
O'Neill heard footsteps behind him, looked back, saw that it was Lao Wang chasing him, was startled, and hurriedly ran away.
"What the **** are you running for?" Pharaoh shouted from behind.
"What are you chasing?" O'Neill ran away without looking back.
"Kobe, tell that fat man to be careful, I'll go find him in the locker room later." Old Dynasty shouted at Kobe.
Kobe nodded helplessly, turned around and entered the locker room, and shouted to O'Neill who was about to take a shower: "Hurry up, don't take a shower, old K will come to you soon."
"What? The bastard, is he finished?"
O'Neill was taken aback and didn't take a shower anymore. He opened the door and ran out with his bare upper body, shouting, "Who can help me, take my bag back to the hotel, I'll go first."
Kobe looked down on O'Neill, idiot, old K hit you just now, to scare you, do you need to run?
Phil Jackson, who was about to go in, was almost bumped into the head, and asked helplessly, "Shaq, what's the matter?"
"That **** old K is coming to find me. The postman was injured by him in the bathroom before. I am a civilized person and I don't want to fight with him, so I ran away first."
O'Neill left a word and ran away.
Phil Jackson was helpless for a while, you can't afford to provoke old K, why did you do that dangerous move?
The team has two cores, one is an apprentice taught by old K at will, and the other is under the pressure of old K and cannot turn over. Should we discuss with the management and simply trade old K with Kobe and O'Neal?
"Old K, are you really going to block the door?" Stoudemire asked excitedly in the home team locker room.
"Fatty is attacking behind the scenes, we must teach him a lesson." Old Wang nodded.
"Then let's go together later." Stoudemire excitedly said.
Old Wang smiled, this rookie is very simple, I want to beat O'Neill, I just caught up, do you have to wait? I just wanted to scare that idiot O'Neill.
It’s said that O’Neill ran to the underground parking lot and found that he couldn’t leave. He didn’t have a car, and he couldn’t get in even if there was a taxi. Inside a corner.
This wait lasted for more than an hour before the Lakers arrived late.
"Why are you here now? Did old K block the door?" O'Neill hurried over and asked.
"Shaq, you haven't left yet?" Kobe and others said in surprise.
"I don't have a car, and I don't even have any clothes on, how can I get there?" O'Neill said with a look of bad luck.
"Puff!"
Several Lakers players couldn't hold back, laughing.
"Don't worry, Shaq, old K didn't look for you, he must have frightened you." Fox comforted with a smile.
"Let's go, get in the car, he might be coming soon."
Seeing old K's car parked not far away, O'Neill hurriedly urged.
"What's the rush?" Old Wang's shout suddenly sounded.
"It's over!"
O'Neill was taken aback, and turned his head to see that it was Old K who turned out from the stairs, followed by a group of Suns players and staff.
"Old K, you, what do you want to do? I'm not afraid of you!"
Lao Wang came over, O'Neill had to force himself to be calm, but his face was a little trembling, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering a little.
Kobe didn't bother to care anymore, he knew that old K was just trying to scare the fat man, and he was going to call the door early.
A group of Lakers management and coaching staff had to stand in front of O'Neal. Jerry West looked at Colangelo Jr., who shook his head at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You idiot, if there is another time, I will beat you to death."
Old Wang cursed, threw the bag in his hand at O'Neill's feet, and shouted: "Hurry up, get me into the car."
"Come on, Shaq."
Fox was still very clever, quickly picked up the bag and stuffed it into O'Neill's hand, and pushed O'Neill from behind.
"Old K, it's not that I'm afraid of you. I fell on you once, and I'll carry your bag this time. I won't be an example."
O'Neill walked towards Lao Wang's car with his bag, but in order not to be too embarrassing, he kept muttering in his mouth.
After he hurriedly put his bag on the car, he quickly ran onto the Lakers bus, naked from the upper body, very embarrassed.
"Puff!"
Many people couldn't help laughing again.
Before getting into the car, Kobe shouted to Lao Wang: "Old K, I am not convinced that I lost tonight. If there is no accident, we may not lose. We will come back next time."
"I still win you." Pharaoh replied.
"Not necessarily."
Kobe dropped this sentence, turned his head and got into the car.
