A short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and a large number of substitutions began on both sides.

The fans also began to cheer and celebrate in advance.

There were even quite a few fans chatting happily about the TNT show in the evening.

They're already looking forward to Barkley's reaction on the show.

However, at this moment, sharp-eyed fans noticed that the other main forces on both sides had already been released, but Sun Hao on the Mavericks' side was still on the court.

Could it be that old Nelson wants to keep Sun Hao to score points on the field?

It's not impossible.

Although Sun Hao scored 13 points in a row in the past period, he didn't play much in the first three quarters, and his score has only just broken 20 now.

The game continued on the court, with two points scored by Marik Rose's strong play on the inside.

Looking back, Sun Hao also assisted Kukoc's air-cut layup.

In the final garbage time, the defensive intensity on the field is decreasing.

The Spurs' offense, Ferry picked up Kukoc from outside the three-point line, and held the ball to the inside.

It was at this moment that an unexpected scene happened.

Sun Hao didn't know when he appeared on Fei Li's breakthrough route.

Then, Ferry lost his body balance, and the trend of rushing forward was uncontrollable, and he rolled out of the field directly.

Although he fell in a different position than Nowitzki, he couldn't control his weight because of the same weight.

He tried hard not to let himself fall, but unfortunately, he was the same as Nowitzki before he fell...... I'm stumbling.

When he fell, he screamed there with a painful expression.

Obviously, he fell out with more amplitude and more than Nowitzki.

This scene came very suddenly, Daniels wanted to step forward to question Sun Hao, but Sun Hao's cold eyes directly made him give up that idea.

Potter tried to rush up but was stopped by Avery Johnson.

Sun Hao spread his hands and said that I didn't know what was going on.

There was a technical timeout on the field, and Ferry was driven back to the bench by his teammates.

After sitting for a while, he was helped off the pitch by the team doctor.

Video playback was carried out on the spot.

The replay showed that Sun Hao didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional when he was defending, and his foot appeared on Ferry's breakthrough route.

Ferry was tripped by Sun Hao's foot before he fell out.

As for the injury in the back, it is the same as Nowitzki, because the size is too big to control the center of gravity.

One, and Nowitzki was injured in a very similar round.

But Sun Hao's movements seem to be more unintentional than those between Fei Li.

After all, Ferry was pushing, and Sun Hao just happened to have his foot in an inappropriate position.

After watching the video carefully, the referee finally awarded Sun Hao an ordinary foul.

This time, Popovich blew up again.

"It's a blackfoot!"

"Hey, you're very professional!"

Sun Hao shouted in his heart, of course, he had returned to the team's bench with an innocent face.

In the end, the referee did not change the decision.

The technical timeout came back and the game continued, and Sun Hao did not appear again.

The two sides quickly finished the rest of the garbage time.

The Mavericks eventually defeated the Spurs 100-86 to make the overall score 2-3.

However, because of a series of unexpected events that occurred in the game, what attracted more attention than the victory or defeat of the game was the post-match press conference.

Because of that intentional or unintentional action, Sun Hao became the focus of reporters' questions.

"Did you mean it?"

The reporter's question was also quite direct, and this was from the official reporter of ESPN.

"Of course not, I'm trying to defend, I'm not pushing with my hands or smashing anyone's eyebrows with my elbows, I'm just defending normally."

Sun Hao's answer has something to say, but his little action is too hidden, you really can't say that he did it on purpose.

"Is this a response to Ferry's previous foul on Dirk?"

The reporter then asked, apparently still unwilling.

"I scored 13 points in a row, that's the best response, or do you think there's a better response than that?"

Sun Hao was also not polite at all.

"That action ......"

"Wait."

The reporter wanted to ask again, but Sun Hao had already interrupted him.

"You should ask more questions about the game, or if you want to ask Ferry about the foul on Dirk, I can go ahead and answer that."

Perhaps because of Nowitzki's injury, Sun Hao's attitude at this press conference was completely different from the past, and he didn't give reporters much face.

The press conference ended in such an atmosphere.

In the away team's press conference afterwards, Popovich also compared the two fouls on the field without talking about it.

Obviously, Ferry fouled Nowitzki first, and what happened after that was more like retribution.

Anyone can see this.

As for why Ferry did that, as with Daniels in the first game, it is not clear.

Sun Hao did not go back to the locker room after the press conference, but went to the physiotherapy room next door.

Because his crooked foot was not very serious, the team doctor treated him directly there.

"Dirk, how are you feeling?"

After entering, Sun Hao asked.

"Our Silver Horn King is fine, he will rest for a few days."

The team doctor said with a smile.

He usually has a lot of contact with the players, and he is relatively familiar.

Sun Hao took a long breath when he heard this, and his face, which had been tense since the pause, was only relaxed at this time.

After the team doctor dealt with it, he told Nowitzki some details that needed attention, and then left first.

There were only two people left in the physiotherapy room, Sun Hao and Nowitzki.

"Sun, the last foul ......"

Nowitzki stopped talking.

"I did it on purpose, and Bob taught me a lot of small movements."

“……”

Nowitzki didn't expect Sun Hao to be so direct.

"We have a saying in China that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but unfortunately, I am not a gentleman."

Sun Hao then added.

Daniels had opened the corners of his eyebrows before, and although he was angry, he wasn't as ruthless as he was tonight, because he knew he had a system and he could handle these things.

Especially after the game, the league issued such a big ticket, and it is not a loss for him to be fired from the eyebrows.

But Nowitzki is different, Nowitzki doesn't have a system.

And twice in a row, the Spurs' attitude sent a message: you won't respond anyway, I'll continue to mess with you.

That's a big reason why he's doing it.

He had experienced it in his previous life, and he knew that blind forbearance would only make people gain inches, and he had to do it when it was time to respond.

"Shh~ But this matter can only be known to the two of us, otherwise I will have to eat a ticket."

Sun Hao didn't forget to humor in the end, stretched out his hand to make a silent movement, and pointed to the top of his head.

Nowitzki laughed at him.

"Thank you, Sun."

When he finished laughing, Nowitzki said affectionately.

He didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking, but he knew that Sun Hao was what he did for him.

This friendship made him feel moved, and Sun Hao himself was not so "ruthless" when he was injured.

"Alright, Dirk, don't think about it so much, take care of your injuries."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

"I'll play next, as long as my leg isn't broken, I'll play, you said."

"Ahem......"

Sun Hao coughed dryly.

Fool, I say those things because I have a system!

Of course, he couldn't have said that.

"Listen to the team doctor and coach, it's not your business alone."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

The next game of the series is played in San Antonio.

If they win, they can drag the game into a tie-break.

Because of the home advantage, it is not for nothing that they will have a chance to win the tie-break at that time.

Although, that would be almost impossible for the Mavericks, who are inferior in strength and experience.

……

The day after the Mavericks and Spurs G5 ended, TNT's latest installment of NBA Insider was a hit with fans.

The main reason, of course, is that the Mavericks won the Spurs, and Barkley's bet failed again.

Fans are looking forward to Ross Barkley's reaction.

The ratings broke the record the moment the show began.

No matter what decision Barkley makes, the show has exploded.

However, I have to say that the program team is really professional, and after the show started, the Big Three did not mention Barkley's gambling at all, but kept talking about foul problems in the game.

"What do you think of that foul on Ferry from Sun?"

Kenny Smith asks Barkley a question.

"He wasn't ruthless enough."

Barkley's answer was a shock.

"If it were me and someone did that to my partner, I would make him not play for at least one season, so that he would remember this lesson and never dare to do it a second time."

In a few words, the original grinning Barkley disappeared, replaced by the villain Barkley who beat Bird, punched Ranbir, and overturned O'Neill in the last century.

"Do you think the Mavericks have a chance to win Game 6?"

Smith then asked.

"If I can make them win, I don't think they have a chance of winning."

Barkley is particularly serious in this episode, he punched Ranbir because his teammate Mahon was bullied, and he is definitely the kind of person who can fight for his teammates.

This time it has whetted the appetite of the fans again.

Buckley's poisoned milk has been verified every time before, including the G5.

But the G6 one, it's really too difficult.

Nowitzki is likely not to play, and Spurs are home again.

If anyone thinks the Mavericks can win, they really look down on Duncan and the Spurs.

In the west, they are the only ones who can challenge the OK combo.

But now, Barkley has poisoned the Mavericks in a wave.

Strength and metaphysics will usher in a real confrontation.

"OK, last question, Charles, it's time to talk about the bet."

At the end of the show, Smith brought up Barkley's previous bet.

If it's the future, this episode of the show has already begun to enter barrage bombing mode.

Barkley burst out laughing.

The atmosphere of the show has suddenly returned to the relaxed atmosphere of the past.

"Will you keep your bet? Charles. ”

Smith was also curious.

To be honest, even the program team didn't know his final choice.

In any case, the program team definitely didn't want him to fulfill the gambling contract, because that would mean that Barkley would leave TNT, and the program that had been so hard to get up would be abandoned again.

“OK，OK。”

Barkley took a deep breath.

If you're watching TV, you'll hear a heartbeat voiceover.

"The great Lord Bar never backs down, and if Michael chooses to come back, I will follow suit."

Barkley's answer blew up the audience in front of the TV.

This decision, very Buckley!

……

After the game of the TNT program, the forum also followed the fryer.

"So the question is, will Michael come back?!"

"I'm afraid that's really a question that only Michael himself can answer."

"So if Michael comes back, will we be able to see a Michael + Barkley combination? It feels so exciting! ”

"Seems to be, otherwise why would Barkley have to wait for Michael's choice?"

"But why, I think he wants to go to the Lakers and hug his thighs and mix rings?"

"It's not a small possibility, he didn't do it at the end of his career, the only reason he came back was for a championship, and there is no better place for him than Los Angeles."

"Yes, in the current league, no one will be an opponent of the OK combination, and Barkley can win a championship even if he sits on the bench for a season."

"I don't think L.A. will want his ......"

"Well, the reality is cruel, but I heard that he kind of wanted to go to the Mavericks in this episode."

"You don't say you don't feel it, but when you say it, it's true! He's crazy about the Mavericks in this episode! ”

"Tsk, I can't wait for the offseason, hurry up and tell me if Michael will come back! My restless little heart. ”

……

Barkley and Jordan, the old man duo is not willing to be lonely, and it really whetts the appetite of the fans.

This summer, it's destined to go crazy.

……

After a two-day break in Dallas, the Mavericks are heading to the road for the G6 game.

Before departure, Cuban and Nelson Sr. had an argument over whether Nowitzki G6 was going to play.

"The team doctor said that Dirk's injury has recovered to 80 per cent and he can play."

Cuban would love to see Nowitzki in the G6 game.

"I refuse, I can't risk Dirk's career."

Nelson Sr. was resolute.

"Don, that's just a stumbling foot, don't make the problem so big."

Cuban felt that Nelson Sr. was making a bit of a fuss.

"Mark, do you want to win one more round or even a playoff game, or do you want a player who is healthy enough to be the core of the team for the next ten or even twenty years?"

Old Nelson asked rhetorically.

"Don, you're always exaggerating, or we should ask Dirk his own opinion, he has the right to make his own choice, right?"

Cuban always felt that Nelson Sr. was exaggerating the problem.

"No, Dirk won't let him play if he wants to beat me, I'm the head coach of the team, and I have the final say whether he hits me or not."

"You!"

Cuban was by old Nelson.

However, Nelson Sr. has a lot of influence on the Mavericks, and he has only been in the team for a year as an owner, so he didn't say anything in the end and turned around and left.

On the same day, the Mavericks flew to San Antonio with their entire team.

Nowitzki will travel with the team, but will not play in G6.

On the plane, Nowitzki asked to play for the team, and in order to prove that he was almost good, he walked back and forth on the plane several times, but he failed to impress Nelson Sr.

"Dirk, you should learn some dancing, hip-hop or something, the range of movements is a little bigger, then maybe Tang will change his mind."

Waiting to sit down, Sun Hao joked with a smile.

"Sun, I think Tang is really too careful, if I can't play, our efforts for a season are likely to be in vain."

Nowitzki looked frustrated, and Cuban was right that he didn't want to miss a game like this.

"We'll have more opportunities like that."

Sun Hao patted Nowitzki on the shoulder.

Everyone has to take a long-term view, and temporary gains and losses are not completely unacceptable.

Just like the Lakers in the 07~08 season in history, they lost the Finals, but they played a crazier season in the 08~09 season and completed two consecutive championships.

And more importantly Nowitzki himself, who is just getting started in his career.

If he hadn't been a traverser, maybe he would have thought the same as Cuban, like Nowitzki.

But because he is a time-traveler, he knows that there have been too many such things in history.

Thomas Jr., Maddy, Durant, ......

They died for the team in the end, but the Celtics, Houston, Warriors, which team didn't abandon them?

In a sense, the old Nelson is a good person to Nowitzki from the bottom of his heart, and the word mentor is absolutely worthy.

"And, what if we win?"

Sun Hao said with a smile.
