The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 30
What was unexpected about this game was that TNT actually did a nationwide live broadcast, and the old partners of TNT Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were responsible for the commentary.

Needless to say, Barkley's name is very popular. His life is divided into two stages, before kissing the donkey's ass and after kissing the donkey's ass.

Before kissing the donkey's ass, Barkley's name was very famous. When he was playing in the NBA, this short man with an official height of 1.98 meters was actually less than 1.93 meters tall. Liming, with his iconic big butt, made people remember his name. For a period of time, Barkley was an inspirational representative.

But unfortunately, Barkley in the Jordan era never won a championship ring.

After retiring, Barkley joined TNT and became a commentator. The nickname of "Big Mouth" surpassed Barkley's "Jazz" title in the NBA for a while. Barkley is also known for his daring to think and speak, and his humorous way of speaking And the tacit cooperation with Smith made Barkley quickly become the "Michael Jordan" in the commentary world.

It's a pity that because of one sentence, Barkley's image collapsed instantly. Whenever Buckley's big mouth prophesied about something and swaggered, there was always one sentence that could put Buckley out: How does a donkey's butt taste?
"He can't score 19 points in a game, I bet." Barkley said after watching Yao Ming's game.

"What are you going to bet on?" Smith asked.

"Just bet on kissing your ass!" Buckley said triumphantly.

Soon, Yao Ming scored 20 points. Naturally, Smith would not expose his beautiful buttocks in front of the live broadcast camera, so he asked his assistant to bring a donkey to replace him.

"." Barkley.

"."donkey.

The four looked at each other, speechless.

"This game is scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States. This is the mistake of the scheduler." Before the game started, Barkley complained first.

"In fact, the Cavaliers have arranged two national live broadcast games this season." Smith said after looking at the Cavaliers' national live broadcast arrangements.

"Then I can understand. After all, after LeBron left, the Cavaliers' games are no longer worth watching." After Barkley finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slowly.

"Charles, what are you drinking?" Smith had never seen such a green drink with some fluffy leaves soaked in it.

Buckley said with a smile: "This is called Chinese tea. Yao told me that this Chinese tea can clear away heat and reduce internal heat."

Seeing Smith's half-understanding expression, Barkley was very happy. He thought that there was finally something you Kenny didn't know. Thinking of this, Barkley chewed up the tea in his mouth and swallowed it.

"It would be better if these tea leaves were more delicious."

The game is about to start, the players who are warming up from both sides retreat from the field, the main players surround the coach and listen to the coach's instructions before going on the field.

"Anderson, Antoine, you two must pay attention to protecting the rebounds. Reggie is among the starting players in this game." It seems that Scott is also a little afraid of Evans' rebounds.

Varejao and Jamison nodded immediately when they heard the words. Evans' rebounding ability is well known in the entire league. Without Scott's reminder, the two of them dare not be careless at all.

"Mo, you must control the rhythm of the game in this game. Your opponent is Barbosa. He is very fast. Don't let him lead the rhythm, but control the rhythm in our hands. As long as you control Once the rhythm is established, the situation and opportunities on the court will be on our side."

Williams nodded as he tied his belt.

"Anthony, DeMar has the ability to score suddenly. Don't relax your defense against him. His physical condition is very good. Use your defensive experience to deal with him. You don't need to work hard."

Parker, who has always been relatively quiet, nodded vigorously after listening to the coach's instructions seriously.

When it was Yuan Man's turn, Scott walked up to Yuan Man and said to Yuan Man, "Your opponent today is Linas, who was the European scoring leader last season. Block him and we will win." half."

Seeing Yuan Man's unconfident eyes, Scott patted Yuan Man's back with a smile and said, "You can do it!"

With the trust of the coach, Yuan Man tidied up the wristband on his left arm and appeared on the stage with the other four starting players.

Unlike previous preseason games, Byron Scott did not sit in the seat, although the game had not yet started, but stood on the sidelines waiting for the game to start.

From the instructions before the game to the current performance, even his assistant Larry Drew can see Scott's urgency and hope to win the game.

"Hey, Charles, do you know that Yao Ming of the Rockets has come back this season."

"Oh yeah? How's he doing?"

"He played well. Although the team lost, he scored 9 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks." Smith's data has always been accurate.

After hearing Smith's words, Barkley no longer looked down on Yao Ming before, and did not take this opportunity to add insult to injury. Instead, he said emotionally, "Yao is a good man. I hope he can continue to play healthy this season."

"Charles, it's not like you said that." Smith originally thought that Barkley would take the opportunity to ridicule Yao Ming, after all, the two had a relationship before.

"After all, the Chinese tea introduced by Yao cured my constipation." Buckley said with a smile, swallowing a sip of tea and tea leaves together.

Seeing Barkley yawn, Smith said, "Charles, you should actually be interested in this game. Look at that black-haired yellow guy from the Cavaliers."

"Oh?" Smith's reminder aroused Barkley's interest.

Barkley looked towards the court, and sure enough, he saw an Asian player wearing the No. 23 jersey.

"When did the Cavaliers get a Chinese player?"

"How do you know he is Chinese?"

"Why are there players from other countries in Asia besides Chinese players playing in the NBA?"

"Your logic is quite objective."

"Of course." Barkley said happily, although he was thinking about other countries in Asia besides China?
Barkley looked through the relevant materials of the game and found that the player wearing the No. 23 jersey was named Yuan Man, a Chinese player from the NCAA University of Miami, who was selected with the 32nd overall pick in the second round.

"The second round player?" Barkley's habitual questioning began again.

"Charles, let's watch the game. I believe you don't know this player well, let alone the highlights of his dunks on youkube."

"Come on, those slam dunk highlights, any player in the NBA can cut a superstar-level video, I'm not interested in that kind of online video."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, No. 23 on the court received a pass from Mo Williams and dunked the ball into the basket in an alley-oop!
