Chapter 24: The first monster to dunk the basketball hoop
Guillem ran on the left wing and did not enter the basket, so Wang Tiejun could only run and was led away from the paint.
Even though his athletic ability declined due to injury, Guillem quickly left Wang Tiejun behind and got the chance to catch the ball.
Point guard Jose Hawkins immediately passed the ball . After receiving the ball, he immediately faked a shot and shook off Wang Tiejun who was chasing him. He then rushed into the paint area with the ball and slammed it towards the basket with one hand.
"boom!"
As the Suns' basket was smashed, the Philadelphia home fans cheered.
"A beautiful big loop slam dunk. Almon Guillem's dunk is still amazing!"
"In front of Almon, the Chinese coolie was like a wooden stake. He was not only an idiot in offense, but also an idiot in defense. He couldn't defend against anyone."
In the commentary booth, Roma and Venus shouted excitedly.
"Old K, don't jump easily. Just use your height and wingspan. Don't follow him too far. Just let him go one or two steps. Your most important task is to defend the paint and the basket. Don't follow him easily until your mobility improves."
On the court, Barkley immediately began to teach and pass on his skills.
He wished he could teach all his experience and skills to Wang Tiejun, help him grow up as quickly as possible, and then help him win the championship.
"I understand." Comrade Lao Wang nodded repeatedly.
Back to the offensive end, he started to push towards the basket against Guillem, who was unable to stop him and could only go around him, so he easily entered the basket.
Kevin Johnson, who was holding the ball, had not yet reached the top of the arc. When he saw him enter the basket, he just pushed the ball towards the basket.
Seeing the basketball coming in and landing at the right point, his eyes lit up. He blocked Guillem in front of him with his left hand, jumped into the air, and grabbed the basketball with his right hand.
"boom!"
The next moment after catching the ball, he felt very good. He didn't need to adjust his body posture in the air at all. He pressed it into the basket with force and completed an alley-oop slam dunk.
"Good pass, Kevin!"
He gave Kevin Johnson a thumbs-up.
Kevin Johnson, who easily made an assist, also excitedly raised his fist at Wang Tiejun.
"You can play this kind of ball more often. As long as the opponent is not a super center or a strong tank, I think Wang has an advantage under the basket when facing other inside players. His strength and back-to-the-basket play can allow him to reach the basket."
On the sidelines, Suns head coach Paul Westphal and his assistant coaches said.
On the field, the game continues.
Back on the defensive end, Wang Tiejun followed the experience just taught by Barkley. When facing Guillem's running position, he did not follow him completely, but stood two meters away and a little inside the paint area.
Guillem received the ball on the left wing two steps away from the paint area. Wang Tiejun immediately took a step forward, stepped out of the paint area, and waved his two long arms continuously, blocking the former's shooting space.
Guillem immediately made a fake shot, but Wang Tiejun held him down and was not shaken, so he had to duck and break through.
Wang Tiejun immediately turned around and followed Guillem's rhythm of dribbling and breaking through.
Seeing that he failed to shake off Wang Tiejun and that Barkley on the weak side had already returned to the basket, Guillem had no choice but to make a quick stop and jump shot.
"Snapped!"
When Wang Tiejun saw it, he quickly stopped and jumped up. The height was too advantageous, and he slapped the ball cap into the air with one slap.
The ball fell, right over the heads of the two men. They both jumped up at the same time to grab the ball. He once again used his height advantage to grab the ball.
"Old K, here!"
Shooting guard Dan Marley shouted as he turned and ran down the field.
Wang Tiejun waved his hand and the ball flew to Dan Maalley. The latter received the ball, crossed the center line one step ahead of Jeff Hornacek, and went straight to the basket, making a fast break.
"Old K, when you were fighting for the ball just now, the first thing you had to do was to observe where the ball landed and move to block the ball. With your strength, weight, and height, as long as you block the ball, no one can get it past you. Even Ewing, Dream, and Robinson couldn't get it past you. The same goes for rebounds."
Barkley ignored the goal and seized the opportunity to pass the ball immediately.
"Okay, I understand." Wang Tiejun nodded quickly.
But he also knew that there was something wrong with what Barkley said.
Barkley didn't know that the reason why his hitting power was so strong was because the Iron Mountain Kick increased his hitting power by 10%.
In fact, his strength is far from strong enough to crush those super centers. Given that his agility and speed are far inferior to theirs, he must continue to gain weight.
As for how much weight he will gain, 125 kg, 130 kg, 135 kg, or even more, he doesn't know yet.
Maintaining a suitable weight is very important for professional basketball players. If they are too heavy, they will sacrifice their athletic ability, and if they are too light, they will sacrifice their confrontation ability. Only by maintaining the most suitable tonnage can a balance be achieved.
As for the specific weight gain goal, it depends on the training content formulated by the system. His requirement is to gain weight without sacrificing agility and speed.
Philadelphia attacked, Jeff Hornacek caught the ball in an open position and made a mid-range shot.
The Suns were on offense, with Barkley backing up Tim Percy on the right wing and using his big butt to push forward.
Tim Pacey's weight was just 100 kilograms, and he was a light inside player. He was unstoppable and was pushed back repeatedly.
Barkley quickly got to the paint area, suddenly turned around and made a jump shot.
Wang Tiejun was full of envy. He was not envious of Barkley's big butt, as his own butt was not small either. What he envied was Barkley's finishing ability.
If he has that kind of finishing ability, with his current ability to play in the low post, his scoring area can be expanded to the mid-range, instead of being limited to the basket as it is now, with the area near the basket being very weak.
Unfortunately, given his coordination and other athletic qualities, he may never be able to learn Barkley's turnaround jump shot technique.
"boom!"
Two possessions later, Dan Marley missed a three-pointer.
Wang Tiejun forced his way past Guillem, took up a favorable position on the left front side of the basket, and grabbed the offensive rebound.
Two meters away from the basket, he was immediately double-teamed by Gilliam and Tim Pesci.
He held the ball tightly with both hands to prevent it from being knocked away, and then, with his right foot as the axis, he suddenly exerted force on the spot. The six forces combined into one in an instant, and he hit the ball close to the body. Guillem, who was behind him, groaned and staggered back immediately.
The moment the double-team was broken, he stepped out with his left foot, inserted his foot into the gap, and entered the offensive area under the basket.
Tim Pacey next to him instinctively raised his hands and hung them directly on him, but still couldn't stop him from getting up .
"drink!"
“Beep!”
With a muffled groan, at the same time as the referee blew the whistle, he jumped up with all his might, carrying Tim Percy who weighed 100 kilograms with him, holding the ball with both hands, and slammed it towards the basket frantically.
"boom!"
The violent sound of the basket hitting the ground made countless people's eyelids jump.
"boom!"
Under the pressure of the two people's weight and Wang Tiejun's tremendous strength, the backboard burst instantly and scattered all over the ground, and the basket stand also sank suddenly.
"oh!"
Amid the exclamations of the fans in the stadium, the basketball stand slowly collapsed to the ground like a giant that could not bear the weight.
"yeah!"
The Suns' bench was instantly boiling with excitement. Except for Mark West and Oliver Miller, almost everyone jumped up, waved their fists and roared excitedly at the court.
Wang Tiejun held the basket he had pulled down with both hands and stood in front of the collapsed basketball stand. His huge figure was extremely eye-catching.
At this moment, at the scene, in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, countless people's eyes were focused on him.
