Chapter 18 I am a big sewer
"He shot towards the basket both times he got the ball. It seems that he can only shoot when he is close to the basket. This shows that his offensive skills are very monotonous and his finishing ability is seriously insufficient. Apart from his outstanding ability to play in the low post, his offensive strength is actually lacking. Once the opponent uses help defense against him, it is difficult for him to get close to the basket."
"His dynamic talent is average, his mobility and turning speed are average, and on the defensive end he can only deal with centers of the same quality, not agile centers like Ewing."
With that shot that crushed O'Neal, Wang Tiejun gave Jerry Krause a huge surprise, and he even offered him a big contract immediately.
But during this half of the quarter, he felt that the surprises Wang Tiejun had given him were suddenly reduced by half.
However, he still plans to bring in Wang Tiejun, and the contract will not change, and he is willing to pay a starting salary of $1.2 million.
The reason is very simple. First, there are too few good centers. The Bulls have not found one after all these years. An annual salary of 1.2 million is not expensive for a center. A third-rate center who is about to retire has an annual salary of one million.
Second, it was because of this half quarter that he saw Wang Tiejun's restraining power in the low-post offense.
Although Wang Tiejun's close-range scoring ability was not demonstrated, with his strength and height, even if he did not have the close-range scoring ability, he could . Even O'Neal could not squeeze him, and he would immediately pose a great threat. Therefore, O'Neal did not dare to let him enter the basket at all. He had to block the shot from the outside, even if he could not.
In this way, O'Neal was tied down at one end, and the Suns' offense was launched from the other end. This is the restraining power of Wang Tiejun.
Third, although he did not have Wang Tiejun's physical test data, he could see with his own eyes that he had very good static talent .
Good static talent, plus average dynamic talent, plus top-notch low-post playing skills and strength, as well as the restraining power that can force O'Neal to hold on, is worthy of a good contract.
What's more, the Bulls have never had a thug, so they suffered a lot at the hands of the Bad Boys, but Wang Tiejun can make Oakley and his gang of New York gangsters only dare to talk big, and this alone is worth a contract.
…
The game entered the second half, and Wang Tiejun still played, but was still beaten to pieces by O'Neal on the defensive end and was impossible to defend.
On the offensive end, he still played a distracting role and did not get many chances to shoot.
There was one shot where he encountered help defense when he got close to the basket, and his hook shot was blocked by O'Neal.
The overall performance is what a meat-shield blue-collar worker should perform.
However, regardless of whether he could receive the ball or not, he tried his best to confront O'Neal in the low post every time on the offensive end, and he made O'Neal suffer a lot with his fierce and hard-hitting attacks time and time .
On the defensive end, he did not let O'Neal go, using his top defense to consume a lot of O'Neal's physical energy.
Halfway through the third quarter, O'Neal felt his chest was about to collapse, every muscle and every rib was in pain. He began to resist this confrontation and actively reduced low-post confrontation.
At the same time, his physical energy was greatly consumed in the meaningless confrontation with Wang Tiejun. His movement speed slowed down, his shots were concentrated at close range, he rarely scored under the basket, and his efficiency dropped significantly.
"You pervert, why are you hiding? Come here, I'll make you feel completely comfortable."
"Get away, you pervert!"
However, when he reduced the confrontation, Wang Tiejun took the initiative to confront him, which gave him a headache.
After three quarters, the Suns led by 15 points.
In the final quarter, O'Neal's physical strength continued to decline, and he was no longer able to fight with Wang Tiejun in the low post, which allowed Wang Tiejun to frequently enter the basket.
Unfortunately, his status in the team was too low. Even though he stood under the basket, other teammates did not pass the ball to him because O'Neal adopted a flexible front defense.
With O'Neal's efficiency greatly reduced, the Suns took the opportunity to continue to expand their advantage. At the end of the game, the score was 112:92, and the Suns won by 20 points.
Wang Tiejun played for 30 minutes, made 1 of 2 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 3 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 fouls and 1 turnover.
This data is not good, but in the matchup with him, O'Neal's performance in the second half was worse than in the first half after his physical strength declined, and he made many mistakes.
He played 33 minutes in the game, made 10 of 21 shots, a hit rate of 47.6%, 4 of 8 free throws, and scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 2 fouls and 5 turnovers .
This data still makes O'Neal look extremely impressive, but professionals can see the value of Wang Tiejun in it, because O'Neal only made 3 of 11 shots in the second half, and his overall shooting percentage was far lower than his 54% shooting percentage this month, and he made as many as 5 turnovers.
This means that when O'Neal is in good physical condition, he can beat Wang Tiejun on both offense and defense, but Wang Tiejun can consume a lot of O'Neal's physical energy through continuous intense confrontation, and ultimately reduce his efficiency and even reduce his playing time.
After the game, Wang Tiejun returned to the locker room and entered the player tunnel at the same time as O'Neal.
O'Neal was fine on the court, but once he entered the player tunnel, he looked like he was dying. His face was filled with pain, and he kept rubbing his chest. He secretly looked at Wang Tiejun, who had caused him so much trouble today, and muttered to himself:
"You damn perverted coolie, remember this, next time I will smash your backboard in Phoenix, I swear."
After hearing O'Neal's words, Wang Tiejun shut down the system. His task was completed and he received a reward of 100 points.
"Hey, pervert, did you have a good time today?" he chuckled.
"Ha ha……"
Teammates such as Kevin Johnson who were walking with him burst into laughter.
O'Neal was so angry that his eyes suddenly became round, and he glared at Wang Tiejun and said angrily: "You are a pervert who likes to spank people, you are the dead pervert.
There is no technical content in your fighting. There is no turning or shaking. You just keep bumping into things. Do you think you are a donkey?
Also, your hook technique is as ugly as shit, your shooting action is like a zombie dancing, your turn is as slow as my 80-year-old grandmother, your defense is a big sieve, your free throws are worse than mine, you are good for nothing except bumping and bumping, you will be a blue-collar worker your whole life, you are just a coolie..."
"So you're a chatterbox! If you can't provoke me, can't you just hide away from me?"
Who would want to be with a chatterbox? It would be annoying. Wang Tiejun complained and turned to the fork in the road.
"Next time I will teach you a lesson. I will show you the power of a big engine and the might of a big shark. I am a big sewer and I will flush you away from it..."
Seeing Wang Tiejun running away, O'Neal felt that he had won and shouted proudly behind him.
