Chapter 596 Flying Man, Old K has the guts to come back, do you have the guts to come back?
At this time, the two sides started the field.
The Rose Garden sent huge boos to the visiting team, but when it was Lao Wang's turn to play, there was still warm applause at the scene, and a large number of home fans sent cheers and their respect to the league's No.1.
At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.
Pharaoh and Duncan jumped the ball, one flew to the sky and the other to the floor. Duncan didn't jump much, and the Suns attacked.
Playing Duncan is different from playing O'Neal. Duncan is now about 120 kilograms in tonnage, and 120 kilograms of Duncan cannot carry him, so he can go directly to the basket. He hopes to make a deterrent start.
Duncan also has self-knowledge that he can't hold the top defense, and he doesn't bounce around the front. I'm afraid he can't cut off the old K's line of receiving the ball, so he adopts a close-fitting side defense.
Nash got rid of Bunch Wells' entanglement with the ball and lobbed the ball in.
Lao Wang pushed Duncan away with his right elbow. At this time, from the corner of his left eye, he noticed that Rasheed Wallace was rushing from the right wing.
"This is... a step-back hook?" Zhang Lili's eyes widened.
"brush!"
Splashes appeared and nearly two points were hit.
"Oh!"
Because of this ball, there was an exclamation in the Rose Garden.
Both Jordan and the glider got up from their seats with shock on their faces.
"I X!"
Su Qun swears directly, and said in shock, "Is this a step back and a hook?"
Zhang Lili was also shocked and said: "Barely counted, but definitely not. Jumping forward, catching the ball in the air and turning around to shoot, this cannot be a technical movement of a center at all, it is a movement of a defender."
On the sidelines, Dameng asked Jordan next to him: "Michael, can you still play like this now?"
The shocked look on Jordan's face was gone. He nodded and said, "Don't talk about it now, I can play like this when I am 80 years old."
"cut!"
The old enemy Glider said disdainfully: "Anyone has the guts to brag, because bragging doesn't pay taxes, but old K has the guts to come back, do you have the guts to come back?"
He is not afraid of Jordan. Thinking about how he swept Jordan in the finals as the main player in the Suns, he has enough confidence to face Jordan for the rest of his life.
"you?"
Jordan twitched his face in anger, glared at the glider, and didn't answer the question.
Seeing the glider hate Jordan, Dameng and Lei Gong next to him couldn't help laughing.
On the field, Rasheed Wallace asked in shock: "Old K, what kind of work is this?"
"What flower work?"
Lao Wang glared at Ting Zi, and said proudly: "My technology has reached the state of simplifying the complex, returning to the basics, and doing whatever you want. If you talk too much, you won't understand it. Anyway, it's a very awesome state, and you will never experience it in a lifetime."
Troll said with an adoring face: "Old K, can you teach me?"
"Teach you what? Can you understand these realms? I said it in Chinese. What the hell do you know?" Old Wang said angrily.
"Teach me how to brag? I think it's very advanced, and learning my trash talk should raise it to a higher level." The troll said with a smile.
"Get out!" Lao Wang scolded with a smile.
He really wasn't bragging, the hook just now was just a free throw.
Originally, he stepped forward, caught the ball in the air to complete the face-up basket, and then attacked after landing, but at the moment when he was facing the basket, he felt that he was still in the air, so he shot directly. Unexpectedly, it felt good and hit the ball.
Trail Blazers attack.
Rasheedra stepped inside the right-wing three-point line, and after breaking away from Stoudemire on a Bunch Wells pick-and-roll, he hit a ball over Joe Johnson's head.
The Suns attacked, but Lao Wang still entered the basket.
"Team the basket."
Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy yelled.
The right wing, Bunch Wells heard, quickly lost Joe Johnson and dived into the paint.
"Teaming early, will Old K still forcefully fight?" Su Qun asked immediately.
"Whoosh!"
Nash passes the ball to Joe Johnson who is open.
Joe Johnson received the ball, and the nearest Rasheed Wallace rushed over. The defensive speed was very fast. The sophomore who had never played in the playoffs was nervous and hurriedly shot.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the basket and rebounded, and it was short.
Under the basket, under the attack of Duncan and Bunch Wells, Lao Wang forcibly got up and grabbed the offensive rebound by virtue of his jumping and height advantages.
After landing, he was entangled by four arms. With his left foot as the axis, he turned around suddenly, and directly turned over Bunch Wells who was hanging on his left arm, and knocked Duncan away at the same time, gaining room to get up.
"boom!"
The next moment, the behemoth soared into the air, dunking his hands heavily, and blasted the Blazers' basket.
"Beautiful! Although the old K has lost 5 kilograms, as long as the opponent is not O'Neal, he is still an unstoppable monster under the basket. It is useless to double-team him, and his dominance is infinite!" Su Qun roared excitedly.
"Although Wells is strong, he is only a swingman after all, not an insider, and the tonnage is not enough." Zhang Lili laughed.
"If the trolls double-team early, Stoudemire will be free, and Stoudemire's mid-range shot is also average, not as good as Joe Johnson." Su Qun said.
Zhang rationally analyzed: "Probably because he was worried that Stoudemire would make an empty cut after he was free? Stoudemire rushed in. Even though there was no room for him to dunk, he still had a throw.
However, the real reason why there is no need to double-team the Tiejun is that they hope to use the defense ability of the spray to timely fill in the vacancy left by the outside line.
If a sprayer is used to double-team, it will be difficult for the Blazers to use other people to defend against Stoudemire, and the height is not enough.Without timely supplementary defense, even if Stoudemire's mid-range shooting ability is average, the threat of openings is still great. "
On the sidelines, Mike Dunleavy is also considering whether to let Rasheed Wallace double-team in advance.
Just as Zhang Reasonable analyzed, he was worried that after Stoudemire was emptied, the height of the two defenders would not be enough to prevent Stoudemire's height.
If Pippen is young, he can be used to defend Stoudemire, but Pippen is old and injured, his defense is no longer good, and his movement speed is not good enough.
Trail Blazers attack.
On the right wing, Bunch Wells and Rasheed Wallace moved continuously, the former entered the low post, the latter pulled to the three-point line,
At this time, Pippen, who was holding the ball on the left wing, passed the ball to the troll, and the troll passed it on. Wells began to single Joe Johnson in the low post.
Bunch is a swingman, but he has the ability to play low singles. Just like Jordan back then, he often played low singles.
"Boom!"
Between dribbles, he turned and broke through, swayed Joe Johnson, and then suddenly got up to shoot a jumper.
"Snapped!"
Lao Wang came from the basket, took a big step, then stepped up, flew past Joe Johnson, waved his hand, and pointed the thrown ball into the sky.
The power of the block was used just right, and there was even room to control the landing point of the ball. As soon as he landed, the ball just fell from the sky and was caught by him.
"This supplementary defense is really beautiful! Especially the power of blocking is used just right. Tie Jun's control of power should have reached its peak." Zhang Lili couldn't help but admire.
Su Qun said with a smile: "Wells is good at low-post singles, but he may have forgotten the speed of old K's defensive defense. Old K can cover the three-point line now, faster than Garnett. The defensive area covers the entire three-point line. It is too easy to cover the low post."
The Suns attacked, and Pharaoh still entered the basket.
"Rashid!"
On the sidelines, Mike Dunleavy couldn't help but roared.
Rasheed Wallace immediately lost Stoudemire, rushed to the basket, and double-teamed early.
Two steps away from the three-point line, seeing that Stoudemire was empty, Nash immediately took a step to the right, avoided Derek Anderson, and pushed the ball with both hands.
"Whoosh!"
The ball is like a scalpel, passing through the Blazers' defense lines and reaching Stoudemire.
When Stoudemire received the ball, he was two steps away from the paint area, a little far away, lacking in confidence, and because of nervousness, his hands were shaking a little.
His mid-range shot was not good, and he was afraid of missing shots, but he didn't dare to hesitate, because this was a well-established tactic, and the old K would attract double-teams under the basket.
"boom!"
Unfortunately, it really didn't hit.
"Snapped!"
Old Wang abruptly took off under the double-teaming of Duncan and the sprayer, but he didn't have a chance to catch the ball. Instead, he hit the ball with one hand and flew in the direction of Stoudemire.
Stoudemire took the ball again, and Bunchwells above him had already made up for him, and he forced a mid-range shot again.
"boom!"
Still missed, this time Duncan grabbed the rebound.
"If you have a chance, there is nothing you can do if you miss the shot." Zhang Lili shook his head and sighed.
"Rookie, I can't help it. It's the first time to play in the playoffs, and it's against a championship-level team like the Trail Blazers. Stoudemire should be very nervous." Su Qun said.
The Blazers attack, Duncan asks for the ball in the low post on the left wing, and Pippen holds the ball above the three-point line.
Pippen didn't break through with the ball, but passed it down. Facing Marion's defense and his mobility degraded, his success rate of strong bursts was not high.
Before the ball arrived, Lao Wang, who was defending at the top, immediately clung to Duncan, squeezed forward with his chest, and then suddenly withdrew.
But Duncan has already had a lot of experience in fighting him. Facing this combination of virtual and real top defense, he coped well. He directly retreated a step to catch the ball, and then used his right foot as the axis to turn around and slide to the bottom. The technical movements were very coherent and concise.
Pharaoh's right (back) foot did not move, and his left (front) foot took a quick step back.
If Duncan really slipped to the bottom, he only needs to take another step with his right foot, and he can complete the defense in time, sticking to Duncan who entered the basket from the upper side.
And if Duncan's downward sway is a fake move, followed by an upward sway, and a 45-degree shot to hit the board, the retreating left foot can immediately take a step back to block the shot.
In the next moment, Duncan swayed downwards and then swayed upwards. When he turned upwards, his right foot was on top of his left waist, and he hit the board at a 45-degree angle.
"Snapped!"
Pharaoh, who was engrossed in the game, reacted too quickly. His left foot took a quick step back just now, and then his body exploded, and he grabbed the ball with both hands, and he caught the ball directly.
"Ugh!"
Rose Arena sighed.
"boom!"
The Suns played a fast break, and Marion had already thrown off the old Pi Erye. After receiving a direct pass from Lao Wang, it was a dunk when he went to the basket.
Jordan said with some relief: "This guy's defense is stronger than before."
Dameng sighed and said: "Old K is really a monster. He is 30 years old, and he can actually improve his speed after being seriously injured."
"It's okay after losing weight."
Jordan didn't take it seriously, and said: "Although Duncan is stable, he can't get into the basket and beat the old K. This is where he is not as good as O'Neal.
I teamed up with the Sharks and used the sudden score tactic to beat the old K. The success rate is still good, but it is difficult for the Blazers to play such a tactic now. "
Dameng nodded and said: "Old K's defensive speed is faster, and no one in the Blazers has the ability to break through with the ball as strong as you. In addition, Pippen is also old and can't move. Without breaking through the ball, his organizational ability is only passing the ball, and he has no defense. He is no longer threatening."
Having said that, he couldn't help asking: "Michael, are you more optimistic about the sun?"
"Of course, the old K guy held back the entire regular season, isn't he just going to explode in the playoffs? Today his desire to attack is very strong, can't you see it?" Jordan said.
"The defense is also strong. When his defense exploded, he never lost." The glider said at this time.
Lei Gong next to him also nodded and said: "Since his rookie season, Old K's defense has really exploded, and he has never lost a game in his tenth season."
Dameng smiled and said: "It depends on whether he can maintain this defensive intensity throughout the game today. The current Suns, except for Marion, are full of loopholes. If he can't play a top-level defensive performance, he really can't pass the Blazers."
Jordan's face twitched, he was the victim of old K's defensive explosion.
He still remembers that in Old K's rookie season, in the G93 game of the 6 Finals, it was precisely because of Old K's defensive explosion that the Suns won the championship with a big score of [-]-[-].
If the Bulls hadn't lost that game and made it to the tiebreaker, with Barkley's mentality of worrying about gains and losses at the time, the old K's offense was far less terrifying than later, and the Bulls would have a greater chance of winning the tiebreaker.
After Barkley retired last year, I talked to him about the situation at that time.
At that time, Barkley even gave up, and only hoped to wait for the old K to grow up before hitting the championship, but the old K did not give up, and finally won the G6 game relying on defense.
If he completed the dynasty that year, with his status in the league, even if Old K later played the dynasty, it would be difficult to surpass him in history.
Therefore, he is actually the biggest victim of old K's defensive explosion, a super sufferer.
In the 9th minute of the first quarter, at 22:16, the Blazers fell behind at home and called the second timeout of this quarter.
王铁军首节9分钟5投4中，3罚3中，轰下11分5篮板2助攻1抢断3盖帽1犯规的数据。
邓肯9分钟5投2中，2罚1中，拿到了5分2篮板1助攻1失误1犯规的数据，被老王帽了一个，断了一个，发挥低于正常水准。
During the timeout, Su Qun analyzed: "The performance of the Suns in the first quarter, Joe Johnson scored 2 points on 0 of 3 shots, Stoudemire scored 1 points on 5 of 3 shots, Marion scored 6 points on 3 of 1 shots, he had two fast breaks, 2 of 1 shots in the positional battle, Nash scored 3 points on 3 of [-] shots in the first quarter, and sent [-] assists."
Zhang Lili said: "Joe Johnson is still too good. Stoudemire played a little nervous today and didn't let go. In fact, Marion is the same. If he didn't score fast breaks, his efficiency would not be high. Nash is not bad, he made a three-pointer.
On the whole, the Iron Army broke out at both ends of the offense and defense. On the basis of restricting Duncan, as long as the teammates don't stretch their hips, the Suns and the Blazers will have a fight.
In addition, Pippen's playing time is limited, and the playoffs should not exceed 10 minutes. The chances of the Suns winning are not small. "
Su Qun said: "Duncan is actually very good. Today's performance is not bad. Old K defended him so well. He still had a 40% shooting rate and caused Old K to foul once."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Duncan and Garnett are super giants, especially Duncan, who belongs to the top offensive and defensive super giants, and it is impossible to prevent death.
No matter how strong Tie Jun's defense is, he can't seal the opponent every game. That kind of situation is extremely rare. The opponent's morale has collapsed and the state is extremely poor, while his state is extremely good.
For so many seasons, the Tiejun has not had many games where they can really score zero opponents, just a few games. This season, they have zero seals against Garnett once.
Duncan's shooting percentage in the playoffs so far is 50.1%, but he played very well in the first round this year, reaching 52%. "
On the Trail Blazers bench, Mike Dunleavy is arranging substitutions, but he is a little embarrassed because he doesn't know if the old K will continue to play.
He first replaced Derek Anderson, who had not performed well just now, and replaced Damon Stoudemire, the flying mouse.
Little Flying Squirrel suffered serious injuries this season. He only played 59 games in the regular season, 27 of which were starts, and he averaged only 22 minutes per game. He was not scheduled to start in the first round of the playoffs.
But now there is no way, under Marion's defense, Pippen's state is not very good, and under the old K's defense, Duncan did not play a good performance, so a real point guard is needed to organize the offense.
Inside he called Dale Davis, who is 211 cm. If the old K does not go down, let Duncan continue to play.
After the timeout, the players are ready to play.
Mike Dunleavy stared at the Suns and was relieved to see Old K sitting still.
Old K used to play the playoffs, basically starting from the second round to play the whole court, and now he is off the court, which shows that his physical fitness is indeed not as terrifying as before.
He quickly signaled Davis to go up and let Duncan continue to rest.
