I really play basketball

Chapter 99: Operation Smashing Barkley
The third game of the season between the Warriors and the Suns is finally no longer the Warriors' home court.

But because of this, on the day of the game, the Warriors had to take a special plane and fly to Phoenix, Phoenix.

As soon as the plane landed, the first thing Lin Xing thought of was—what Mu Lin said was true!
At the end of January, in the deep winter, it should be the coldest time of the year.

But in Phoenix, which is located in the middle of the desert, the temperature today is as high as 19°C.

The warriors who came from the bay area took off their thick cotton clothes as they got off the plane.

"Sta, can you talk about your matchup with Charles Barkley in this game?"

"Charles Barkley declared that he would use a matchup and win the game to prove that he is more worthy of the All-Star vote than you. Do you have any response to this..."

"..."

At the airport, as expected, the Warriors were besieged by reporters again.

However, most of the recording pens and spotlights were aimed at Lin Xing.

This also made Xiaochong sigh: "What is popularity, this is called popularity."

More than half a month has passed since the league announced the results of the first stage of the All-Star voting to this game.

For more than half a month, Lin Xing has been at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

Although he didn't say a word, the media reporters were all talking about him.

It was as if, without Lin Xing, these reporters would not be able to survive.

Seeing all this, Xiaochong firmly believes:
With this popularity, Lin Xing is not the top voter, who is the top voter?
Looking at Lin Xing again, he pushed away the group of reporters who were overly enthusiastic, and walked away under the protection of the airport security.

"Still as indifferent as ever!"

Xiao Chong let out a sigh of emotion, and then leaned forward.

"Let me say a few words, I know what Charles Barkley said.

All I can say is that he is wishful thinking!Do you really think that if they win one game, they can keep winning?

Don't blame me for reminding him that this season, the record of the Warriors and the Suns is still tied 1-1!
In this match, who wins and who loses is unknown..."

Xiao Chong talked eloquently until the team assistant coach Sydney Moncrief stood at the door of the bus and shouted at him: "Let's go, Tim!"

Only then did he reluctantly leave the encirclement of these reporters.

……

It was afternoon in a flash, and there were still two hours before the start of the game. The Warriors had already sat in the visiting team locker room of the American West Arena.

It was a bit noisy in the locker room because it was still early.

Old Nelson was thinking about something while clutching a tactical board, discussing a few words with Bob Lanier beside him from time to time.

Lin Xing took out a towel wristband from his backpack and put it on the elbow of his left arm.

Emmm, this wave is not Zhan Huake's transformation into a tortoise, but deification.

The trend of wearing a wristband on the elbow of the left arm was brought up by Jordan. On the one hand, it is for the convenience of wiping sweat.

On the other hand, the shrinkage of the wrist can make the shooting action mechanized and reduce mistakes.

Lin Xing tried it a few times, and while feeling: God is God, he also developed the habit of wearing a wristband on his left elbow.

After putting on the wristband, Lin Xing began to think about the strategy of this game.

It's definitely not good to just shake at the beginning, and Barkley is not a fool. If Lin Xinghuang fails once, he will definitely take precautions next time.

After all, before the game, there was a lot of discussion about the "ankle terminator".

Once Barkley is prepared and the defense no longer does his best, it will be difficult to end his ankle.

"At the beginning, go straight for a while, and paralyze Barkley..."

Lin Xing determined the strategy for this game, and someone called him behind him.

"Sta, Sta..."

Lin Xing turned his head immediately. Behind him was a mahjong table composed of Madman, Byron Houston, Langley and team assistant Sydney Moncrieff.

The madman stared at his innocent eyes, and asked: "This card has just been touched, can I kong now?"

"Just touch it? It won't work."

"Can't you?"

"Of course!"

"Well, you are the authority, you have the final say."

"..."

Since Lin Xing made a mahjong gift on Christmas Eve, in less than a month, his teammates have become enthusiastic about this board game.

Before and after the game, on the plane to the away game, and even during the breaks of daily training, you can see this group of teammates taking time to play a lap or two.

No, just before this focus battle, the madman greeted and set up a table.

In order to silence old Nelson, he also called on Moncrief, who was dawdling in the coaching staff.

After dealing with the madman, Lin Xing turned his head and raised his chin again.

One ankle can complete the task, but can two ankles overfulfill the task?

Thinking of this, Lin Xing began to diverge his thinking.

One hour before the start of the game, the mahjong tables were scattered.

Lin Xing also came to his senses and sat upright.

Old Nelson knocked on the tactical board, and he was going to arrange the specific tactical arrangements for this game.

"In this game, Tyrone will start, the other four positions will remain unchanged, defensively, Latrell will switch to Kevin Johnson, and as for Charles Barkley, I will leave it to you, Star!"

"Okay, coach!"

The old Nelson's arrangement has not changed in any way, and Lin Xing also got the chance to face Barkley as he wished.

"Shouldn't the Suns let Barkley play against me?"

……

"Finally, let us welcome, from Auburn University, the Olympic champion, the regular season MVP, our Sir Flying Pig-Charles Barkley!"

On the sidelines, listening to the passionate roar of the host, watching Barkley excitedly come out of the player channel.

Lin Xing tilted his head and complained secretly: I don't know why this guy is so excited.

Barkley is excited, but that's a good thing.

Excited Barkley will do his best on the defensive end.

The prerequisite for knocking down the opponent is that the opponent's defense must do its best.

If you don't try your best to defend, just use your eyes to defend, no matter how hard Lin Xing shakes, the widow will sigh—it's useless!
Therefore, from a certain point of view, these defensive players who were knocked down are quite respectable.

Of course, those who were knocked down because of their own stupidity were not included.

Soon, at [-]:[-] p.m. Phoenix time, the referee walked to the center circle, the two teams started one after another, and the game was about to begin.

It was Lin Xing who made the jump ball for the Warriors, but his opponent was replaced by Charles Barkley.

Seeing Barkley walking to the front, Lin Xing was stunned:
Sir Flying Pig can also jump the ball?still……

"Put away your doubtful eyes, sir, I'm going to kill you rookie from the beginning to the end today!"

Sure enough, Barkley ran out to jump the ball just to hit himself.

Listening to Barkley's extremely vicious trash talk, Lin Xing was not polite, and went back directly:

"Anyone can speak harshly, but you are the only one who kisses a donkey's ass during the intermission, Charles..."

Barkley's face changed when he heard kissing the ass of the donkey.

"Hey, do you dare to gamble again!"

"What are you gambling?"

Barkley got on top, and started betting again that he couldn't touch at all.

Lin Xing is different from Barkley in that he maintains his sanity all the time.

When he heard that Barkley was going to gamble, his first reaction was, what bet?
"Just bet on the outcome of this game!"

win or lose?Lin Xing shook his head.

It's really not from the heart, it's just that I don't dare to take risks.

However, he did not directly refuse, but changed the angle:
"What's the point of betting on the outcome? How about betting on the All-Star voting and betting on who will be the final vote winner!"

Buckley frowned, showing an expression that you think I'm a fool.

In the first stage of the All-Star voting, Lin Xing directly led by 9 votes.

What is the concept of 9 votes?Give any player 9 votes, and he can directly compete for the All-Star substitute.

The gap is already big enough, to the point where the results of the second stage of the All-Star voting are no longer important.

Buckley ignored Lin Xing, but Lin Xing asked, "You must be counseling, Charles?"

If it weren't for the humiliation of kissing the donkey's butt last time, Barkley might really have a heart: bet!

It was only with the lessons from last time that he knew that this bet could not be answered.

He was a little embarrassed by Lin Xing's questioning. When he turned his head, he saw the referee Steve Javi, who was ready for the kick-off early tomorrow but was watching the excitement.

Immediately, Barkley spread his hands: "Don't look at Steve, kick off, OK?"

Jia Wei reacted and nodded: "Ok, the game begins!"

Beep!
The basketball was thrown into the air, and Barkley was slapped in the face within a second of his harsh words at the beginning.

Barkley's bounce speed is very fast, he jumps very high, and his wingspan is not short, so he is very capable of jumping the ball.

But his opponent is Lin Xing, who is stronger, so powerful that he can be said to be the No.1 in NBA history.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this jump.

Snapped!
"Still won the jump ball, and the Warriors have the ball!"

Xiao Chong controlled the basketball, pushed it to the front court, and then made a cross pass to find Lin Xing on the other side.

Lin Xing received the ball, and the person facing him was not Barkley, who else could it be?
"Listen, kid, in this game, from defense to offense, you will be suppressed by the Jazz. In this game, you will feel the true strength of the NBA regular season MVP!"

Barkley's harsh words kept coming, and Lin Xing knew that this guy was already firing on all cylinders.

Not only with hands, but also with mouth.

But it's useless, because using your mouth can't stop Lin Xing from breaking through.

He squeezed Barkley directly and made a straight breakthrough.

"Damn it, why is this guy so powerful again..."

Barkley originally wanted to resist Lin Xing head-on, but who knew he couldn't resist at all.

The last time the two fought against each other was when Lin Xing had just finished a fight and not long after he got Anthony Mason's 90 strength.

At that time, Lin Xing's strength had not yet been fully trained, and he was only in his early 80s.

Before this game, he had trained his strength to 90.

89 to 90, that is a hurdle, after crossing, Lin Xing's strength directly went up to a big level.

The feeling for Barkley is naturally very different.

Just like that, Lin Xing caught Barkley by surprise and rushed in.

Because Paul Westphal emphasized before the game: Now Lin Xing has a mid-range shot, so Charles, don't give room for mid-range shots, not even one!

So in this game, Barkley's defensive pressure was greater than the last time the two played against each other.

He turned around, accelerated, gritted his teeth and followed Lin Xing closely.

Lin Xing is also accelerating, he goes straight to the basket, Oliver Miller is a good center, but compared to the Sharks, that is a heaven and an underground.

Throwing away Barkley, looking at Oliver Miller, Lin Xing lightly sent the ball into the basket.

Turning his head, he replied to the trash talk Barkley said before the breakthrough:
"What did you just say Charles? To suppress me from the defensive end? But I just ran over you and scored a goal..."

There's nothing like trash talk after scoring a goal, and if there is one, it's more exciting than scoring that goal.

Barkley gritted his teeth and fell silent again.

Soon, the offense and defense switched.

Lin Xing retreated to the backcourt and continued to mark Barkley.

Barkley shut his mouth, but began to strike.

He opened his hands for the ball, and his desire was extremely strong.

Even if Kevin Johnson was in control of the ball, he could only choose to compromise, and immediately passed the ball to Barkley.

Just like that, Barkley received the ball, and under Lin Xing's surprised and puzzled eyes, he began to shake.

Bang, bang, bang...

Two crotches in a row, plus a change of hands in front of the body, Barkley shot the basketball three times in a row, increased his speed a step, and seemed to be passing.

But Lin Xing could see that what he did was a fake move.

The next step should be to pull back, then change direction, and break out from the other side.

Seeing through this, Lin Xing didn't wait any longer, and shot directly.

Taking advantage of Barkley's effort to pull back and change direction, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand like lightning!

"Are you showing off? Give me the ball!"

Snapped!
The basketball was sent flying, and Barkley lost control of the ball.

Although he reacted immediately, when he turned around, Lin Xing had already controlled the basketball and galloped towards the frontcourt.

Barkley's speed can't keep up with Lin Xing, which is also his biggest problem in defending Lin Xing.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up, he stopped following and watched Lin Xing rushing to his backcourt one by one.

Then, he jumped up, and in front of [-] Suns fans in the West West Arena, he dunked an amazing free throw line.

Clang!
When Lin Xing fell to the ground, beating his chest and roaring, there were boos in the Meixi Arena.

The commentator was very enthusiastic: "Sida dunked another free throw line. This is his second free throw line dunk in actual combat!"

"In recent games, his slam dunks are getting more and more full, as if he is warming up for the next slam dunk contest."

"No, he was responding to Harold Miner's provocation, just dunk, why can't he book this year's slam dunk champion?"

When the commentator Xi Kuang was excited, Lin Xing had already turned around and returned to the defensive end.

Seeing Barkley open his hands strongly for the ball again, Lin Xing thought of the previous round.

"This guy doesn't seem too excited, he's very perfunctory in defense, no, I want to stimulate him..."

So, without waiting for Barkley to speak first, Lin Xing told him directly: "I have scored 4 points, Charles, how about you?"

Barkley received the ball, and he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Then, the crotch, the crotch, the front of the body, and the change of direction began again.

But soon, this series of fancy movements were stopped by Lin Xing's set of small steps.

Lin Xing, who defended Barkley's attack, was even more puzzled and puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of the task that puzzled him before the game.

"Why did the system suddenly give a task to knock Barkley down? It turns out that the root cause is here!"

"So it was Barkley who wanted to knock me down, the system's counterattack..."

Wanting to understand all this, Lin Xing was very disdainful.

You still want to shake people with the crossed steps of your three-legged cat, what a joke.

Lin Xing felt that even he, the master of cross-stepping, was very cautious after receiving the task of knocking down his opponent.

The Flying Pig is good, it shakes as soon as it comes up, and it doesn't even put on any pretense, it really treats people like fools.

Don't say that Lin Xing is not a fool, even if he is a fool, as far as Barkley's cross step is concerned, it couldn't be simpler.

Lin Xing, the protege of the originator of the cross step, can guess his second step and third step after seeing Barkley's first step.

Simple couldn't be simpler...

Barkley's second sway, still failed.

He can only pass the ball to Kevin Johnson to reorganize the offense.

Kevin Johnson seized the last 8 seconds, forced the madman, made a mid-range jump shot, and with a bang, the iron hit.

At the basket, Tyrone Hill grabbed the rebound, and the offense and defense switched again.

In the Warriors' round, Lin Xing made another straight shot, and this time Barkley followed.

But then, Lin Xing sent the ball outward, and the madman caught the ball and made another jump, went to the basket, and made an easy layup.

"6 to 0, the opening game, the Warriors are firing on all cylinders!

"In contrast to the Suns, they haven't scored yet."

Despite this defense, Barkley followed closely.

But Lin Xing felt that this was not enough.

So, he continued to wait for the opportunity.

While waiting, he fends off Barkley's terribly lame crossover again.

By the way, he also taunted: "Stop showing off, Charles, you're not good at all, you'd better use your ass, that's the foundation of your life in the NBA."

Although Barkley was very proud of his huge ass, but Lin Xing's teasing, in other words: You are a butt seller!

Barkley felt that he couldn't bear it, and then he continued to attack Lin Xing head-on.

But as long as it is a cross step, without exception, it all fails.

It was a strong elbow that allowed Barkley to succeed twice.

Shake Lin Xing down?Lin Xing had guessed what Barkley was thinking, how could he let Barkley get what he wanted?

But Lin Xing, the game started 4 minutes ago, and he has been breaking through in a straight line.

Right now, he popped another one.

Accelerated to get rid of Barkley, rushed to the basket, directly against Oliver Miller, with a bang, another heavy dunk, and pressed the ball into the basket!
There was booing in the American West Arena, the Warriors' bench was boiling, and white towels were flying all over the sky.

On the court, Lin Xing thumped his chest and pointed at Barkley: "Charles, do you know why you lost to Michael Jordan?"

"..."

Barkley remained silent, but Lin Xing directly released his ultimate move.

"Because your defense is so bad, it's so bad that I can't even guard against it!"

So in the next round, Barkley tried his best to prove his defense.

Lin Xing also decided to officially start his "Shaking Barkley Down" operation!
