Chapter 30: Brutal Back Attack
Wang Tiejun let go of the ground, glanced at Luke Longley under his feet, and laughed.
Although Luc Longley has height and weight, his athleticism is not as good as his. In a one-on-one low-post play, even O'Neal can't handle him. How could Luc Longley possibly handle his low-post back-to-the-basket play?
"damn it!"
When Luke Longley heard the commentator say that he was a woman and saw Wang Tiejun's contemptuous look, his eyes turned red and endless anger instantly rose from the bottom of his heart.
He entered the NBA as the seventh pick in the first round, with nearly 20 million Australians behind him. The pressure in his heart is enormous. Now he has been humiliated. If he does not respond, the pressure that will follow will crush him.
"We must give him one back!"
He climbed up, his teeth were almost bleeding from biting them, and his fists were almost bleeding from being clenched.
"Oh my god , is the Iron Army so fierce?"
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Heli felt particularly shocked.
Luc Longley is just a meat shield, averaging less than six shots per game, mainly second-chance offense, or when there is a good opportunity at the basket, otherwise he is generally not passed the ball.
Wang Tiejun's defensive task was very easy. There was no three-second defensive rule at that time. His main task was to sit under the basket, protect the backcourt rebounds, and assist in defense.
However, once in the backcourt, Luke Longley began to position himself very actively. He quickly got behind him and tried to push Longley outwards.
"Mitchell, give me the ball."
Luc Longley was a level weaker and was pushed out of the paint, but he still insisted on asking for the ball at the top of the arc.
Timberwolves point guard Mitchell Williams did not refuse. This is the rule in the NBA. If you are hit by someone, you must hit him back, otherwise your morale will be weakened. He passed the ball immediately.
As soon as Wang Tiejun saw the ball coming, he increased his strength immediately, paused, combined the six forces into one, leaned his chest forward fiercely, and instantly unleashed an iron mountain kick.
He and Luke Longley were already sticking together, with no space between them to exert force, but the technique of Tieshankao lies in close combat, the original name of which is "sticking shirt Kao", so it still generates considerable fighting force.
What's even more amazing is that this kind of fighting does not constitute a foul because there is no unnecessary, obvious shoulder-sinking and elbow-raising movements to push the opponent.
“Damn it!”
Luke Longley was about to catch the ball when a huge force came from behind and he couldn't stand still and moved.
"Snapped!"
The ball touched his hand and then flew out of the baseline.
"Oh, what a beautiful proactive defense! Old K caused Luke Longley to make a mistake..." the commentator shouted excitedly.
The ball exchanged and the Suns attacked.
Dan Marley got the ball on the right wing and threw a tentative shot.
Under the basket, Wang Tiejun used his strength and tonnage to forcibly occupy the position right in front of the basket. Luke Longley wanted to squeeze him away, but he exerted force and instantly shifted his opponent's center of gravity. Luke Longley lost his position instead. At this time, the basketball hit the basket and was caught by him.
Just as he was about to make a second comeback, Luc Longley and Timberwolves power forward Christian Laettner pounced on him at the same time, with four big hands hanging on him.
One weighs 120 kg and the other weighs 110 kg. With two opponents pressing on him, can they stop him from getting up?
"drink!"
With a muffled groan, he stopped his feet and his body suddenly expanded like a strange python, breaking through the obstruction of four arms.
“Beep!”
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
"boom!"
There was a loud slam dunk, like a bag of dynamite. Not only knock down the Timberwolves' two inside players, it also instantly made the hormones of nearly 20,000 fans soar to the peak.
"yeah!"
The Suns' home stadium immediately became boiling with countless home fans excitedly rushing out of their seats, waving their fists and cheering for this slam dunk that crushed the opponent's inside line.
“KKKKK…”
Above the stadium, the commentator's weird screams were like machine guns, and his roars were like rolling thunder:
"This is a show for the behemoth! There is a big shark in Orlando, and in Phoenix, we also have a behemoth, he is Lao K! He is from China! He is from Chinatown in New York! Thank you to our boss Mr. Colangelo, you made the best signing..."
“Yeah yeah yeah…”
Under the enthusiastic rendering of the commentator, the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak.
"Old K, you did a great job!"
"Rookie, deduct one more next time."
Barkley and a group of teammates rushed up and shouted excitedly.
"Remember, gentlemen, from now on, give the ball to me, and then you can stand outside and enjoy my performance."
What a good opportunity! Wang Tiejun boasted without hesitation.
"cut!"
Several middle fingers were raised at him. "Give you the ball, are we just spectators?" Then all the teammates walked away.
Luke Longley and Lightner, who were covered in dust after being defrauded, crawled to their feet in a panic, looked at each other, and turned around and walked away at the same time.
Free throws are a difficult problem for Comrade Lao Wang now.
Two years ago, his free throws were more accurate than they are now, reaching 75%. However, due to a long period of not training and the heavy physical work in the past few months, his wrists have become thicker. Although his strength and physical fitness have increased, he has also lost some qualities such as flexibility. As the saying goes, there is gain and loss, so his shooting level and free throw level have dropped so much.
"boom!"
Sure enough, the penalty missed.
Luc Longley grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Timberwolves attacked.
The outside jump shot missed, Barkley grabbed the rebound, and it was the Suns' turn to attack again.
"Brother, give it to me, I will assist you."
Wang Tiejun stood firmly in the low post on the left wing, outside the sideline of the paint area, carrying Luke Longley on his left arm, with his right hand open, asking for the ball at the top of the arc without hesitation.
"You only know how to back-up and dunk in the low post. There's no way I can get an assist. Who are you trying to fool?" Kevin Johnson was speechless.
"Give it to him, Kevin, our rookie needs to grow faster." Barkley shouted with a smile on the right wing.
"Give the ball to K. We want to see his slam dunk!" The commentator roared, and was echoed by countless fans.
"Snapped!"
With one hand, Wang Tiejun grabbed the pass steadily.
“Bang!”
While dribbling , the six forces combine into one, and an extremely ferocious low-post back-to-the-basket attack begins.
"Well!"
A huge force erupted in an instant. Under the violent impact, with the instant compression of the chest cavity, high-pressure gas screamed out from the throat. Luke Longley groaned in pain and took a small step back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Tiejun did not waste any more energy on back-to-the-basket plays, but instead turned around and drove to the basket with the ball.
Luke Longley's mobility was not as good as his. When his center of gravity was shifted, he was unable to turn around and chase him. He just instinctively pulled him, but failed to catch him.
"boom!"
At this time, Timberwolves power forward Laettner had just returned to the basket, but he still jumped towards the opponent and gave a brutal two-handed slam dunk on the opponent's head.
The entire basket was smashed down by him, and Lightner was knocked back by him and almost knocked over again.
"yeah!"
The Suns bench and the audience were once again in an uproar.
On the sidelines, head coach Paul Westphal said to his assistant coach: "We need to continue to strengthen K's flexibility, coordination and other strength training. He can definitely be more agile and faster.
Now, he can only deal with guys like Luc Longley who move relatively slowly and have little offensive ability. He can't deal with other types of centers. His limitations are too great."
After witnessing Wang Tiejun's several attacks, Zhang Heli was completely shocked.
Watching it on TV and watching it live are two completely different experiences. The latter is of course more direct and provides a powerful visual experience.
"Alas, what a pity!"
He sighed deeply in his heart.
