NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 164 Saramento Mayor Kevin Johnson

Barkley returned to his side to warm up at halftime in despair.

He is too eager for Battelle to join the Suns. If Mubba is willing to come to the Suns, he doesn't mind a salary cut and changing to the third position.

Some fans may wonder, can Barkley play the third position?In fact, Barkley is actually no different from the three players on the offensive end...

Ask for the ball from beyond the three-point line, and then start to attack from the high post. This is how the three players attack.

It's just that the player in the third position may use breakthroughs to attack, while Barkley uses a high post attack...

……

But now Barkley is also aware that the Suns have absolutely no chance of getting Battelle.

This made him a little disappointed, even desperate. He knew very well that with the current lineup of the Suns, if they were unable to introduce powerful players at the Battelle level, they would definitely not have any chance of winning the championship.

……

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Muresan won the jump ball and the Kings started their offense.

Snow took the ball upfield and handed the ball to Richmond.

Instead of attacking himself, Richmond handed it to Battelle.

Battelle glanced at Battelle beside him, and a thought rose in his heart.

His nickname is Big Bus, so the Barkley in front of him, who is a lot smaller than himself, would be quite suitable to be nicknamed Minibus.

Thinking of this, Battelle amused himself.

Battelle lowered his center of gravity and began to hit Barkley with his own tonnage and strength.

His post-up is naturally different from Barkley's. Barkley's back-up is to get closer to the basket.

And Battelle's back hit is to squeeze space for himself.

After squeezing Barkley away, Battelle turned around and made a mid-range shot.

"Shua!" The first mid-range shot in the opening game was easily hit.

Barkley shook his head with a wry smile, it was really hard to guard against.

In fact, Barkley has the advantage most of the time against other players in the fourth position.

But only in Battelle, he was always deflated.

The possession of the ball was changed, and it was the Suns' turn to attack.

Kevin Johnson advances with the ball.

This player was like a superstar among the league's point guards in the past few years.

In the late 80s and the first two years of the 90s, Kevin Johnson was at the same level as the Smiling Assassin and Stockton.

To say that the greatest star in the Suns' current team history is actually not Barkley who joined the Suns halfway, but Kevin Johnson.

Even this Suns team, if you want to say who is the leader, I am afraid that at least half of the Suns fans will think that Kevin Johnson is their leader.

Later, after retiring, he directly entered the political arena and was successfully elected mayor of Saramento.

His hometown is Saramento...

Tonight's game started in his hometown, Kevin - Johnson is very excited.

Outside the three-point line, just when Snow thought that Johnson would pass the ball, unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly accelerated, passed Snow, and then made a mid-range shot near the free throw line.

Steadily scored, Kevin Johnson's offensive ability is quite strong.

Even though he is older now, he can still contribute a steady 20 points per game this year.

However, Kevin Johnson has a disadvantage on the offensive end, that is, he has no three-point ability, or the three-point ability is very weak...

So Davidson didn't pay much attention to Kevin Johnson's offense.

Because of the Muba combination, it is difficult for him to score points in the penalty area, and he has no three-pointers. If he only relies on mid-range shots, Davidson is not worried at all.

……

It was the king's offensive round again, and this time Richmond still passed the ball to Battelle, allowing Battelle to play singles.

Davidson felt a little reverence for Richmond in his heart. Richmond is really a qualified team leader.

In this part of the playoffs, if you were the leader of another team, it would probably be a desperate and crazy shot.

And Richmond knew that his offensive efficiency was not as high as Battelle's, so he simply reduced his shots and let Battelle take shots as much as possible. This can definitely be called a selfless spirit.

Battelle continued to beat Barkley hard, and the bus hit the minibus. Although he failed to score, Muresan easily grabbed the rebound, and then directly completed a second offensive dunk on the head of the Hot Rod.

The bitterness on Barkley's face became a little bit stronger, he knew that this round of the series was completely over.

It's not just that the BUG player Battelle can't be dealt with, because the Suns don't have a center with a big tank type, and Muresan is not easy to limit this point.

……

The next game completely turned into an occasion for Muba Twin Towers to abuse food.

With the two working together, the Suns were completely unable to lift their heads.

Barkley's speed is slightly better than Battelle's, and now he is taking advantage of this speed advantage to find opportunities to shoot on the court, playing like a player at the second position.

Barkley's best offensive method can't be used anymore, and Kevin Johnson can only shoot mid-range shots. How could such a Suns be the opponent of the Kings.

"Beep!" When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Kings beat the Suns with a score of 104:82 at their home court by 22 points.

In just one game, the strength gap between the two teams can be clearly seen.

The internal configuration of the Suns may not be considered a disadvantage compared to other teams. After all, Barkley is there...

But when compared to the King's inside combination, it is obviously at a disadvantage.

After the game, Barkley nodded at Davidson and smiled wryly.

Davidson is also very sympathetic to Barkley. This player who will definitely go down in history has actually not been very lucky.

But sympathy belongs to sympathy, Davidson is also powerless, he can't deliberately lose to the sun...

After winning the game, the Kings fans at home rejoiced. With such a happy victory, it seems that the Kings' elimination of the Suns is a certainty.

Now Kings fans are already thinking about their next opponent.

Not just the fans, but the Kings as well.

The fourth and fifth matchup in the Western Conference is between the Jazz and the Lakers. If nothing else, the Jazz must be the winning team.

Thinking of the next match against the Jazz, Davidson couldn't help being excited.

What he is excited about is not the Utah Shuangsha, the most famous insider combination in the league, but the fight with Jerry Sloan.

Dad praised Jerry Sloan a lot, and even Dad praised Sloan. Davidson naturally wanted to compete with this famous coach.

But now we still have to deal with the Suns quickly.

The next G2 was still at the king's home court, and the result was similar to the previous game. Davidson put some water in this game, shortening the appearance time of Mubba and the two, which did not make the Suns lose so badly.

But the Suns still lost by 11 points.
