Chapter 84

At the American Airlines Arena, enthusiastic Miami fans have already entered the arena, and the seats are full.

The game was also broadcast live on TNT TV. The hosts were NBA legend Barkley and Kenny Smith. Former Heat player Tim Hardaway was also invited as a guest.

"Case solved, Kenny." Barkley said to Kenny Smith enthusiastically as soon as the live broadcast started, "I found the team that stole our ratings."

"Oh?" Kenny Smith expressed doubts as if he was joking.

The two are old partners, they have a tacit understanding, and they often hurt each other and joke around, so their program ratings have always been high.

"This is the 76ers team. The game against Boston a few days ago attracted a lot of fans. I think you all know the reason. Because that person was abandoned by the Celtics, so he went for revenge."

Tim Hardaway also has a heart of gossip, and couldn't help but ask: "So, he succeeded in revenge, the specific thing is"

Kenny Smith said: "I think it's better to put this inside the NBA. Now we should focus on this game."

NBA Insider is another TNT program hosted by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. As the name suggests, it tells about some insiders who don't know the inside information about the NBA.

Kenny Smith: "What do you think of today's game, one is the defending champion, the third in the East, and the other is Philadelphia, which has been doing well recently."

Charles Barkley: "This should be a crushing game. In front of the Flash, Sharks, and Jason Williams, I think the 76ers should have no chance of winning."

Barkley, you go on.

I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than what Buckley says.

The most famous is the story of whether Yao Ming can score 20 points, and finally kissed a donkey to confirm his love.

"Attention, you are using no chance of winning. In your opinion, the 76ers have no chance of even one percent?"

Facing Kenny Smith's rhetorical question, Barkley nodded simply.

"How to win? I don't see any hope for the 76ers to win. They don't have an advantage."

"The Bug, what do you think?" Kenny looked at Tim Hardaway, who was sitting in the middle.

God, I can't get in the mouth if each of you says something. It's better for Kenny to take care of the feelings of the guests.

"To be honest, I am also optimistic about the Heat. The growth of The Flash is obvious to all. Although there are some old guys around him, none of these old guys are experienced old hooligans."

"Hahaha" Kenny Smith laughed, "That's right, but we can't underestimate the 76ers. After all, even the Pistons lost to them."

Barkley: "Man, don't make trouble, everyone knows that the game was because Rasheed was expelled."

"Then how do you explain that they almost killed the Nets and almost hunted the Magic? Facts have proved that they have the ability to fight against these strong teams. There is also that person, yes, it is Yang. At critical times, his scoring ability is amazing. Not weak at all."

Hardaway wanted to change positions, but the two spoke too fast and answered the words too quickly, he couldn't get in the mouth at all, he could only look at this and that.

Hardaway said before Barkley: "I have also heard about this rookie. He is the biggest dark horse in this rookie class. The speed of improvement is beyond imagination."

Barkley: "I think the outside world has overestimated him. The reason why he has improved so fast is because of a blank sheet of paper. It is easy for you to fill him up.

With the teaching of Philadelphia's answer, this speed is acceptable, and he also has the shadow of Iverson in many aspects.

However, it is easy to draw a blank piece of paper, but it is difficult to draw something that people agree with, like to see, and have value. "

Kenny Smith took over the conversation: "Is it understandable that after this period of time, his progress speed will suddenly slow down, and even the upper limit is not as high as the outside world thinks?"

"That's right, when his progress reaches a critical point, he will naturally slow down. His upper limit, being able to reach the All-Star level is already the highest evaluation I give."

Kenny: "We will know how this player is doing after watching the game. You two think whether there is any problem with the two teams themselves."

Hardaway said: "The biggest problem for the Heat at present is that the overall age of the players is too old. Although they have experience, they are inferior to young people in terms of speed and physical strength."

O'Neal, Mourning, Bai Qiao, and Glove Payton are all in their thirties, and their competitiveness on the court is declining day by day.

Especially Gary Payton and Colonel Mourning are players on the verge of retirement. You can't expect them to score or grab rebounds on the court. They are more about imparting experience to young people and adjusting the atmosphere in the locker room.

It is said that an old family is like a treasure, and the Heat have too many treasures.

Tim Hardaway continued: "Of course, young players like Haslem and Dwyane are very impactful. In terms of lineup, the Heat have experience, impact, and can be both internal and external."

Barkley: "Then let me talk about the problems of the Philadelphia 76ers. First, their scoring is very unstable. Even Allen Iverson's scoring fluctuated in recent games.

Second, their style of play is immature. Although they have a slight advantage on the outside, they cannot hide the fact that they are weak on the inside.

The third is defense. How can the 76ers defend the restricted area of ​​O'Neal and Alonzo, and how many points can they score? "

Hardaway immediately asked: "What if they opened the game with a three-pointer?"

Barkley shook his head and said with a smile: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, even if you can open the situation for a while, it is impossible to win in this way. You and I used to be players. We all know how unstable the three-pointer is. .”

If Yang Ze hears this, he will definitely let Barkley take a look at the Warriors of the Splash Brothers period, Paul, and the Rockets led by Harden.Even the team that said we don't like shooting three-pointers, with the changes of the era, once became the team that shot the most three-pointers.

The small ball style of play has actually been around for a long time, but the traditional offense, the offense centered on the inside center, has always been the mainstream.Starting with the running and bombing tactics launched by the Phoenix Suns, the traditional style of play in the league will slowly change over time.

"Kenny, you like Yang Ze so much, so you are more optimistic about Philadelphia?" Hardaway asked.

Kenny Smith smirked and said, "Who said that, I am more optimistic about the Heat. After all, they retained the winning lineup from last season."

Buckley and Kenny smiled at each other, old man, you understand.

Don't look at them sometimes holding contrary opinions, in fact, most of the time it is for the effect of the program.

If Barkley said that the Heat are strong, Hardaway said that the Heat are strong, and Kenny agrees, what else can be said later.

"Okay, less gossip, players from both sides have entered the field, let us see if Philadelphia can bring some trouble to Miami, or give us some surprises."
