Dameng rushed to Wang Tiejun and hit him on the head.
"I'm in!"
Comrade Lao Wang subconsciously raised his head. This time he was not hit on the nose, but was hit on the mouth, which hurt.
“Bang!”
Tieshan paused and hit Daming, who groaned and took a step back.
"Look, I didn't hit you. I didn't move my hands or feet, let alone my elbow." Lao Wang shouted, spreading his hands proudly .
Da Meng was shaking with anger, pointing at Lao Wang and yelling, "Damn it, you must be using Chinese Kung Fu."
"Chinese Kung Fu should be banned on the court." Kenny Smith shouted while hiding behind Dream.
"Nonsense, how could I have used any martial arts? I don't know Jeet Kune Do." Lao Wang cried out in grievance.
He really didn't use any kung fu, he used traditional martial arts, which is completely different from kung fu.
The two teams got entangled and shouted some nonsense, but were called apart by the referee and the game started again.
Next, Comrade Lao Wang took the initiative to seek a strong confrontation with Dameng. The whistle was not directed at him tonight, which allowed him to let go.
However, Da Meng, who was good at confrontation, suffered some losses. In terms of confrontation ability, he, who had always been proud of it, was really no match for Lao Wang.
In the second half of the second quarter, he was a little tired, and his chest and lower back were covered with blood clots from the intense confrontation. The pain was unbearable and his physical energy was greatly depleted. He had no choice but to avoid intense confrontation with Lao Wang, just like in the previous game, and give full play to his agility.
But even so, he couldn't completely avoid a strong confrontation, because Lao Wang's Iron Mountain Backfire was basically a surprise attack, leaving him no time to prepare in advance, it came at close range and the collision came in an instant.
In the 6th minute of the second quarter, Wang Tiejun got the ball in the low post on the left wing.
Dameng was like an octopus entangled in his body, elbowing him and kneeing him from time to time, just like in the first quarter, making him very uncomfortable and completely interrupting his rhythm.
Being able to force a generation of superstars to use this kind of defense against him is a reflection of his strength, but he is not happy about it.
Since you're bothering me, I'll just hit you to death.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
He immediately started a fierce confrontation, with his legs spread apart, a horse stance lowered, and without dribbling the ball, he dunked the ball with both hands, and then used the Iron Mountain Backbone to hit Dream again and again.
The referee was staring at Wang Tiejun. It wasn't that he was biased towards the rookie, but he really couldn't see any fouls committed by the rookie.
Without doing anything, he held the ball with both hands under his hips.
He didn't move his feet, his feet didn't move at all.
There is no raising of elbows or lowering of shoulders, just purely using the chest to squeeze the opponent in a close position. This is not a foul action, but a real muscle confrontation.
He couldn't even see any obvious collision, not because his eyesight was bad, but because he didn't know the power of Tieshankao. He had no idea how Tieshankao exerted force and just thought it was a squeeze because there was almost no space to exert force.
“Uh! Uh…
Da Meng was hit several times and felt a bloody taste coming out of his throat. Both rows of ribs were sore and painful, so he had no choice but to let go.
The next moment, Comrade Lao Wang turned sideways and jumped on one foot, hooking the ball towards the basket with his right hand.
"boom!"
The ball hit the rim and bounced in.
"Old man, you can't defend me as long as the referee doesn't help you." After succeeding, Lao Wang was very excited and started talking trash.
If the refereeing environment was the same when he played against Robinson last time, he would not have lost so badly. He could have taken some meat off David Robinson even if he had fought hard.
“Get lost!”
Da Meng was breathing heavily and didn't want to argue with Lao Wang anymore.
This kind of intense confrontation places too many demands on the body, consumes a huge amount of physical energy, and is also prone to injury.
Lao Wang exerted force several times in a row, and his physical energy consumption was also huge. Just roll away and he will return to the defensive end to fight you again.
After the second quarter, the Suns took the lead with a score of 52:56.
In the first quarter, Wang Tiejun made 1 of 4 shots in eight minutes, and only got 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 foul. In the second quarter, he made 5 of 7 shots and 1 of 2 free throws in 12 minutes, and got 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 foul. His performance was much better than in the first quarter.
He took 7 shots in the second quarter, and he dunked three consecutively when Dream was not on the court. Later, in the fierce confrontation with Dream, Dream was also very strong, coupled with the top defense, he could no longer successfully get into the basket, and there was no time to attack when he barely got in. All 4 shots were hook shots near the basket. Relying on the systematic hook technique, he knocked Dream away and then shot again, making two of them, with a good hit rate.
He made 2 of 4 shots against Dream Team, which was a good efficiency. Dream Team's defense did not suppress him.
However, on the offensive end, he couldn't defend against Dream.
Although the effect of strong confrontation was better than last time, he still couldn't defend it. He really couldn't defend it. Under the dreamy steps of Dream, he was still shaken all over the place and couldn't find the direction of Dream.
In the second quarter, Dream made 3 of 5 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 7 points and 2 rebounds. Together with the points in the first quarter, he had 16 points and 5 rebounds.
In the third quarter, after the two players rested for halftime and recovered a little, they went back on the court to continue the confrontation.
After playing for eight minutes, the confrontation was too intense and the shooting percentages were not high. Wang Tiejun made 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 3 points. Dream made 2 of 5 shots, which was slightly better. However, both of them had consumed a lot of physical energy and could not hold on any longer, so they were replaced.
In the 4th minute of the final quarter, the score was 82:90 and the Suns relied on 8 points.
Dan Maalley and Kevin Johnson played well today, both scoring 18 points, plus Barkley has already scored 22 points. These three main players are the guarantee for the Suns to lead the Mavericks.
But no one dares to ignore Wang Tiejun's role. He delayed the superstar Dream and played the role of exchange.
Mosaic attacked, called a timeout, and then Dream returned to the court.
Wang Tiejun naturally also came on the court and stood opposite Dameng again.
The team was behind and wanted to catch up. Dream was the main attacker. He had to get into position as soon as he reached the low post on the left wing, and he wanted to bypass Wang Tiejun and get into a deep position.
“Get out!”
Lao Wang grabbed Dameng's jersey, delaying the opponent's movement for a while, then moved his feet in time to block him, and then Tieshan launched continuous attacks to slowly push Dameng out.
There was no time left. Dream quickly moved to the low post on the left wing. After retreating outside to receive the ball, he swung left and right facing the basket, shook Wang Tiejun, and then stood up and made a jump shot.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Dameng take action, Lao Wang cursed in frustration.
"boom!"
The ball hit the basket and Dream barely made a shot.
In the following period of time, Dameng tried his best to avoid confrontation with Wang Tiejun. Simply put, as Lao Wang said, he was dodging attacks.
But the team's strength was not as good as the Suns. If he was held back by Wang Tiejun, he would have no chance of winning. For the sake of victory, he didn't care and just avoided the attack.
If there was a confrontation, Wang Tiejun could still defend against Dream. But now that there is no confrontation, he can't defend against Dream at all and can't keep up with the rhythm at all.
However, Dream was not in good shape. After the intense confrontation throughout the game, he not only had no physical strength left, but was also tormented by Wang Tiejun's intense confrontation and felt pain all over his body. Although Wang Tiejun could not keep up with him, he did not have the physical strength to get to the basket, so he could only jump shot from the outside, so his efficiency was not high.
Although the Mosaic team has Dream Team to score points, the Suns also have Barkley, whose scoring ability is no less than Dream Team, plus the backcourt combination of Dan Mali and Kevin Johnson, whose scoring ability is extremely strong.
In the end, Mosaic still lost the game 97:110.
In the final minutes, Dream made 4 of 11 shots and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 10 points in 8 minutes, but it was still unable to save the team.
He played 34 minutes in the game and made 13 of 27 shots, with a hit rate of 48%, which is slightly lower than his hit rate this season, which is 52.9%. Judging from this hit rate, Wang Tiejun couldn't defend him at all in the first three quarters when he still had enough physical strength.
Including 4 of 6 free throws, Dream scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, maintaining his superstar status.
Wang Tiejun played for 36 minutes, made 7 of 14 shots and 2 of 4 free throws in the first three quarters, scoring 16 points. In the last quarter, he made 2 of 5 shots and scored 4 points, barely raising 20 points. With 10 rebounds, he completed the system task and received a reward of 100 points.
He made 9 of 19 shots, with a hit rate of 47.3%. For a big center like him, the efficiency is not high. He needs to increase his hit rate by at least 10 percentage points to meet the standard, so he was able to score 20 points today purely by relying on shots.
Dream's ability to confront is quite strong, coupled with top defensive ability, it is difficult for him to find opportunities to attack under the basket, and he did not cause any damage. He only had four free throws. If he had not dunked three of them in the second quarter when Dream was not on the court, his efficiency today would have been even lower.
Of course there is a reason for this. When he played against Dream Team, it was such a fierce confrontation that it was difficult for the opponent to foul, so it was good enough if the whistle was not blown for him.
All in all, in today's confrontation with Dream, he was still the beaten side, mainly because of his poor mobility, inability to keep up with the opponent's rhythm, and inability to defend.
In fact, with 19 shots, he became the player with the most shots in the team for the first time today. Barkley only took 17 shots today and scored more than him.
At the same time, his playing style is energy-intensive, especially when facing off against Dream, which requires doubling the consumption of energy on both offense and defense. Almost every shot requires several strong confrontations, so 19 shots have reached the limit of his physical endurance. After the game, he didn't want to move a finger.
"NO!"
After being beaten 20+10 by a rookie twice, Dream was in a bad mood. He refused media interviews after the game and left with a sullen face.
Barkley scored 28 points, became the best player of the game, and accepted an on-site interview.
Comrade Lao Wang looked at Barkley who was being interviewed with envy. He had never won the best player of the game.
Back in the locker room, head coach Paul Westphal gave a summary of the game.
He affirmed Wang Tiejun's role in the game . Although his scoring efficiency was not enough, he was able to get 20+10 again under the single defense of Dream, while reducing Dream's offensive efficiency. His performance on both offense and defense is still worthy of praise.
Moreover, Dream has a strong ability to assist in defense, but due to Wang Tiejun's restraint, he has no time to assist in defense of others. This role is also very important.
Leaning against the wardrobe, Comrade Lao Wang listened while turning on the system, doing two things at once.
"It's still the most exciting to duel with a super master. I made a profit again today."
His one-on-one defense improved from 80 to 81, and his rebounding improved from 72 to 73, which were the gains from tonight's game.
At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Dameng was lying on a massage chair.
He returned to the locker room and lay down to receive a massage from the masseur.
His chest and back were covered in blood clots. In the intense confrontation, his capillaries were broken on a large scale.
"Hakeem, take a break next game," Tomjanovich said.
"Um!"
Dameng didn't have the strength to speak and just snorted.
Tomjanovich shook his head and said, "If K had more explosiveness and mobility, with his playing skills, he would be more terrifying than O'Neal."
Dream spoke this time, he said: "O'Neal's strength is not stronger than mine, he is strong in explosive power.
Like Old K, he can also rely on his strength, explosiveness and size to knock people away, and ordinary centers simply cannot compete with him.
These are two power monsters, one has absolute strength and the other has powerful explosive power.
However, with O'Neal's current weight, his strength is not greater than mine, and I can definitely beat him. But if he is a little bigger, his destructive power in the low post will be greater than that of Old K. With his athleticism and center skills, Old K cannot compare.
Old K's absolute strength is only slightly stronger than mine and O'Neal's, but his fighting skills are absolutely unique and powerful. The force-generating action should be the key, which can enable him to burst out greater fighting power.
But overall, his future is not as good as O'Neal's. His athleticism is his weakness and his energy is more easily depleted."
Tomjanovich nodded and said, "K's style of play consumes too much energy. Once we enter the playoffs, we can just double-team him and help defend him. Once his energy is depleted, we can limit him.
Even when he is dunking under the basket, he often needs to use his backhand to push away all the defenders before he can get up. It looks brutal and the fans are very satisfied, but his physical energy consumption is several times that of others. This should be his biggest weakness now.
In fact, I doubt whether his physical reserves can last the entire regular season. Can he still play in the playoffs?
Moreover, Lao K's mobility is not good, and his ability to break through double-teaming is also not good. He can be double-teamed very easily, and he can only break through by force, which will consume a lot of his physical energy.
But O'Neal, with his athleticism, is much better than K in breaking through double teams, so double teams will have less effect on him."
An hour later, Lao Wang appeared at the media conference. Four of the Suns' five starters participated.
During the meeting, a reporter asked, "Old K, between Dream and Admiral, who do you think is stronger?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Big dream."
"Why? You were beaten by Robinson, but Dream scored 20+10 twice. Why did you come to this conclusion?"
The reporter asked in confusion.
"It's simple. Dream and I are one-on-one, but the Spurs guy is not." He chuckled.
The reporter then pressed the issue, "Are you saying that the referee was biased towards the Admiral that day? He will be here tomorrow. Will you discuss this issue with him face to face?"
"I won't discuss anything with a wimp," he immediately refused.
"But when he played against you, his defensive intensity was no less than that of Dream. Is it that you are not good at dealing with that kind of defense?" the reporter said.
"Ha ha……"
Lao Wang laughed loudly and said, "I don't look down on him because of his defensive style. In fact, that kind of defense is really effective. But since he complained to the referee, I thought he was a wimp."
At the Mosaic team's press conference, a local reporter asked Dream: "Hakim, after this game, has your evaluation of K changed?"
Dameng's anger immediately flared up, and he angrily said, "That bastard took our basket while I was away. He's going too far!
He's acting like a thief, a rim collector, a rim destroyer, and the league should fine him a million dollars per rim."
"Puchi, haha..."
Seeing Dameng's frustrated look, the reporters below burst into laughter.
