Chapter 603 Gaining Weight and Injury
At eight o'clock in the evening, the game begins.
Two hours later, the Suns won the away game and won the second round with a score of [-] to [-].
As Lao Wang said, Pippen and Flying Squirrel were in poor condition. The former was injured after playing for only 11 minutes and got 0 points and 1 assist. The latter only played for 15 minutes.
Bunch Wells, who showed great prowess in the G4 game, also turned off in this game. He made 14 of 3 shots and only scored 10 points.
邓肯虽然砍下了21分13篮板4助攻3盖帽的数据，但老K轰下了35分18篮板6助攻6盖帽的数据，始终被老K压着打，一整场没喘过气来。
In the East, Dayao teamed up with Kidd and successfully won the G5 game, eliminated the digital team with a big score of [-] to [-], and reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.
At 13 a.m. on the 9th, Pippen's agent announced on his behalf that Pippen had a torn back muscle, was reimbursed for the season, and decided to retire.
"Old Pi, you look pretty good, what are you going to do in the future?"
Lao Wang got the news after he got up, and went to the hospital to visit Lao Pi.
"Old K, it's great that you can come to see me. I will start my trading company after I retire, and I will rely on it for the rest of my life."
Pippen's mental state is not bad, and he seemed very happy to see Old K go to see him.
"Old K, thank you so much. Without your help these years, Scotty would have gone bankrupt many times."
When Pippen's wife Larsa saw Lao Wang, her eyes turned green instantly, and her attitude was very enthusiastic, which made Lao Wang a little uncomfortable. After a few words, she hurriedly left.
After lunch, the Suns boarded a plane back to Phoenix.
That night, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks again and took the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals.
The Pistons lost to the Green Team. The two sides fought [-]-[-], and the Pistons still held the match point.
"Old K, I want to beat you with my own hands, don't let me down, I'll wait for you in the Western Conference Finals." After the game, Kobe called.
"Kobe, your kid's hair has grown hard, right?" Old Wang said angrily.
"It's the wings that are hard, as you said before." Kobe corrected.
"Do you have wings? What I say is what I say." Old Wang said arrogantly.
"Anyway, I'm waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals, and I will beat your team with my own hands." Kobe insisted.
"Dreams are full, but reality is skinny. Kobe, you should go fishing with my cat food. Choose the pier first, lest Duncan take the lead." Lao Wang laughed.
"Then come on, let's see who goes fishing." Kobe hung up the phone after slamming the next sentence.
On the evening of the 14th, at eight o'clock, the Suns and the Trail Blazers launched a G6 battle.
In the 7th minute of the first quarter, Momonga, who started the game, was knocked down by Nash, his knee injury recurred, and he retired from the game.
Pippen retired, and Flying Squirrel also retired from injury. The Blazers lost two people who could organize the offense outside, and the ball fell into the hands of two shooting guards, Bunch Wells and Derek Anderson.
Lao Wang immediately strengthened his defense and blocked the penalty area with all his strength, forcing the two guards of the Blazers to make wild shots outside. After a round of ironing, the Suns took the opportunity to open the score.
Duncan tried his best to resist, but he was also unable to compete with Lao Wang on both offense and defense. The Blazers quickly slipped into the abyss of failure in the G6 game.
At ten o'clock, as the referee blew his whistle, the game ended. The Suns eliminated the Trail Blazers and entered the Western Conference Finals with a score of [-]-[-].
"Tim, don't be depressed..."
Seeing Duncan's unconcealable disappointment, Old Wang went over and patted him on the head, comforting him: "Lucky boy, you already stole a championship while I was away, so just have fun."
Duncan's tortoise-like psychology was also comforted and fluctuated a little, and he said unconvinced: "Old K, I won the championship by defeating the OK team and the Nets based on my strength, not by stealing it."
Lao Wang smiled and said: "In my era, only defeating me to win the championship is the real championship. I don't agree with anything else."
Having said that, he patted Duncan's head again, plucked a few hairs down, and comforted him again: "But you are still young, Dayao, McGrady, and Kobe are the sun at one or two o'clock, you are the sun at two or three o'clock, and Iverson is the sun at three or four o'clock.
Anyway, the future is yours, you are the sun in the morning, you can definitely wait until the day when the sun goes down, and take your time. "
"..."
Looking at the back of old K leaving, Duncan's mind was a little confused by these few words.
He counted his age, he was three years younger than old K, and the current style of play didn't cost his body, as long as he didn't get seriously injured, he would definitely be able to maintain his peak period for a longer period of time. He felt that he should be able to survive until old K fell to the peak, right?
"Old K, I will endure it better than you." He made up his mind to endure it to death.
赛后，张合理笑着说道：“邓肯在最后一场轰下了20分13篮板3助攻1抢断3盖帽3失误5犯规的数据，虽然打出了20+10的数据，在铁军的全力防守之下，攻防表现都堪称上佳，但命中率只有41%。
而铁军轰下了41分18篮板7助攻2抢断5盖帽1失误3犯规的数据，他的表现，绝对是强于邓肯一个档次。”
Su Qun said with a smile: "Duncan is considered a top-level defense, and Rasheed Wallace's defense is also top-notch. The two teamed up, even defending in advance, but they couldn't lock the old K. It can be seen that the old K's offense is indeed unique."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Rashid Wallace's defense is really good, double-teaming the Iron Army in advance, but as long as Stoudemire is close to the paint area, he can return to defense in time. Stoudemire's performance in the second round is average, but Rasheed defends well.
He and Duncan double-teamed the Iron Army, which is effective. This Iron Army's offense at the basket is too little, and the shooting rate is only 55%, which is evidence, which is lower than the shooting rate in the regular season.
However, Pippen and the little flying mouse are gone. The Blazers lost control of the outside line and couldn't attack, so they could only shoot outside.
The breakthroughs of Wells and Anderson are not as threatening as Little Momonga and Pippen. Their speed is average, and the Iron Army can block them. "
Su Qun nodded and said: "Pippen made a lot of breakthroughs in G4. Although his speed is not good, he still has experience and passing ability, so his breakthrough threat is indeed very strong.
Wells and Anderson didn't have Pippen's passing, and they didn't have the speed and agility of Little Flying Squirrel. The threat of breaking through was indeed much worse. The lethality was not enough, and they couldn't break through the penalty area guarded by Old K with all his strength. "
Zhang Lili said cheerfully: "Now that the Suns have reached the Western Conference Finals and will join the Lakers, it's pretty good."
Su Qun also said with a smile: "The master-student duel, giant beast duel, full of anticipation."
An hour later, the Suns held a postgame press conference.
"Old K, against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, what do you most want to say?" A reporter asked.
"It's a pity. My cat food has become hungry and thin recently. I want to ask the Lakers management whether they have deducted the ration of my cat food? This is not acceptable. The cat food is thin. What do my cats eat?" Lao Wang joked.
"Haha..." The press conference hall suddenly burst into laughter.
"Old K, do you want to say something to Kobe?" A Los Angeles Daily reporter asked.
"I heard that Kobe got another nickname in the past two years, Los Angeles Marlon? This kid is too shameful. I have never taught him this. Please help me pass a message to him. If he dares to act presumptuously during the Western Conference finals, I will take off his pants and beat him to death." Old Wang asked slowly.
"Puchi!" Many reporters laughed.
On the night of the 15th, the Pistons defeated the Green Team and met the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals.
So far, the second round of the series has been played, and the Eastern and Western finals are about to start.
The first battle will be the Eastern Conference finals. The Nets have home court advantage and will play G17 on the 1th. Then the Western Conference G1 game will start on the 18th. The Suns have home court advantage.
On the 16th, there was a phone call.
"Dazhi, it's been so long since the first round, what are you doing in Sacramento?"
"Brother Tiejun, I did some body maintenance."
"Well, okay, you are only 26 years old, at least you can still play a contract in the NBA. You need to take good care of your body. Don't waste these little money."
"Understood Brother Tiejun, by the way, I have already booked a ticket and am going back to China."
"Aren't you going to watch the Western Conference Finals?"
"No, my parents and my wife really want to go back early. We didn't go back last year, so I'm homesick, haha."
"Alright then, I'll contact you after I return to the capital."
"Good."
At noon that day, the league announced the winner of the regular season MVP and gave it to Tim Duncan.
At noon on the 17th, the Lakers arrived in Phoenix.
"Old K, I'm here."
After Kobe landed, he called Lao Wang with a cold tone.
"Hey, call me as soon as you get off the plane. Are you ready for the afternoon? Or tell me to pick you up?" Old Wang asked.
"Afternoon." Kobe said coldly.
"I'm ready for the pool party, you know, do you want me to prepare two girls for you?" Lao Wang joked casually.
"this?"
Thinking of those wonderful moments at the pool party arranged by Old K after each championship won by the Suns and Lakers, Kobe's heart was instantly moved.
"Is this tempting? Damn, I heard that you have had a lot of gossip in the past two years, boy, be careful if you make a problem and it's hard to deal with it." Lao Wang scolded with a smile.
"Old K, don't try to disturb my army's morale." Kobe reacted, and immediately threw away the colorful things in his mind.
"Hehe, you guys are messing around outside. Vanessa has been cheated on by you many times, right? I think you will cause big problems sooner or later." Old Wang said.
"Where?"
Kobe denied it, and asked cautiously: "Old K, did Vanessa complain to you?"
"Fuck, Kobe, you were really messing around outside, and you were caught by Vanessa?" Old Wang scolded.
"Old K, you lied to me?" Kobe said angrily.
"If you don't tell yourself, you're going to be doomed!" Old Wang said.
"Snapped!"
Kobe cut through the mess quickly and hung up the phone directly, so as not to be tricked by the old K for more things.
That night, Dayao led the Nets to defeat the Pistons at home and won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
On the 18th, ABC TV morning news suddenly exposed a news about Kobe.
"Kobe, did you hurt your knee?" Old Wang happened to see the news while having breakfast, and immediately called Kobe.
"Well, yes, there are some minor problems, not serious, after the playoffs, I'm going to have a minor surgery." Kobe said after hesitating.
"A word of advice, Kobe, if you play too much outside, your legs will become weak, and weak legs will increase the probability of injury, you know." Old Wang said.
"Old K, don't talk nonsense." Kobe said anxiously.
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes, you idiot! Also, don't over-train, just do it properly." Lao Wang cursed and persuaded.
"I have the numbers."
Kobe said a little bluntly.
Both were eating breakfast, then hung up the phone.
Over there, Kobe put down the phone and reached out to touch his knees, feeling a little annoyed.
There are two important reasons for his knee injury, one is over-training, and the other is excessive weight gain.
He has a dream to catch up with Jordan, so he hopes to increase his dominance on the perimeter.
The best way to increase dominance is to gain weight. With stronger strength and larger tonnage, his iron mountain will definitely increase in power.
Soon his tonnage increased from 99 kilograms to 103 kilograms, which did increase his dominance on the outside, but it also caused his knees to exceed the load, leading to injuries.
In the afternoon, there was already a sea of people outside the American West Arena, not only locals, but also fans from nearby cities gathered here.
In the evening, the entrance of the arena opened, and the sea of people began to pour into the arena along the eight entrances.
The Lakers' bus also entered the parking lot at this time. Instead of training in the American West Arena, they rented the basketball stadium of the University of Arizona.
Buckley and Kenny Smith were waiting in the parking lot with the camera team. As soon as the bus arrived, they rushed over.
"Hey Kobe."
"Hey Charles, Kenny."
Kobe was the first to leave the court, and several people greeted each other.
Then O'Neill came down, another hello.
"Kobe, is the news from ABC TV true? Your knee is really hurt? Oh, Kobe, you are too mean, why don't you give me news if you don't give it to ABC?"
Barkley ignored Kobe's increasingly gloomy face and shouted with a smile.
Kobe didn't say a word, and walked around Barkley.
"Shaq, what about him?"
Only then did Barkley come to his senses, holding O'Neill and asking in a low voice.
O'Neill shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing his ignorance.
"He really hurt his knee?" Barkley asked again.
O'Neill nodded and said, "There are some problems. I don't know the specific situation. During this period of time, he has to apply ice packs on his knees after training every day, and he also invited an acupuncturist from the K Times Club."
"How's the status?" Barkley asked again.
"The state is not bad, Kobe's willpower is very strong, like Michael, he is a real iron man!" O'Neill said with some admiration.
"What about you, how is your condition?" Barkley asked again.
"I?"
O'Neal raised his arms, showed off his strong biceps, and shouted, "I'm going to crush that old K guy this time, and I'm going to do what I say..."
Barkley lost his voice: "You haven't suffered enough, and you still want to rub him on the floor?"
O'Neill narrowed his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Charles, what are you talking about? What do you mean I haven't suffered enough? Tonight is the night of my revenge."
After speaking, he angrily knocked Barkley away and left.
Barkley was caught off guard and almost fell down, and couldn't help cursing: "O'Neal, you kid is only qualified to make cat food for the old K's family."
"what?"
O'Neill was furious, turned around and rushed over with his teeth and claws.
Barkley was completely unafraid, threw the microphone in his hand to Kenny Smith, and immediately hugged O'Neill, and soon passed a powerful hug and fell, put the big shark on the ground, and then rode directly on it.
"Damn it, I wasn't ready, this time it doesn't count, let's do it again, you get me up first." O'Neill was pressed on his body, struggling and shouting depressingly.
"Boy, it's the same if you do it a hundred times again. You were my donkey in your last life, so accept your fate. You only have the fate of being ridden by me." Barkley roared.
"Ha ha……"
Kenny Smith squatted on the floor laughing.
A group of Lakers players and the management coaching staff also laughed helplessly, and several staff members hurried forward to pull Barkley away and rescue O'Neal.
