The Knicks' trip to West Texas got off to a good start in San Antonio, but they were not only not interested in their hard-fought victory, but even the newspapers didn't write much, and the much-talked-about gamble between Barkley and Kenneth was the question of who was better between Murphy and Duncan.

At this time, people suddenly realized that these two people had their own ghosts, and whether they performed well or not had nothing to do with Mo Xi and Duncan, and there was no dealer in this gamble, which means that the performance of two people actually depends on these two people's bickering, who said that if they win, that person's performance will naturally outperform the other.

Barkley cleared his throat and pretended to be profound: "In this game, Mo Xi cut 32 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, two blocks and one steal, which can be said to be comprehensive in offense and defense, not to mention that in the last few minutes of the duel, it is obvious that he won Duncan, Kenny, it seems that I will accept your hundred dollars." ”

Where Kenny Smith is willing to do it, it has nothing to do with money, it's a matter of face. Kenny Smith said: "No, no, no, you can't look at this kind of thing, and besides, you say that Mo's defense is excellent, this is really debatable, you know, it's not that the defense is better than you, even if the defense is excellent, Mo's defense is just above the level, but it's far from excellent, and even if you look at the data, TD's 29 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, his performance is no worse than Mo, as for the final performance, to be honest, I don't think that the performance of shooting 4 of 6 and 1 of 2 free throws is better than Mo Xi shooting 5 of 7." , one of the free throws is worse, and if you count the performance on the defensive end in the final moments, TD is actually better than Mo. ”

Barkley immediately interrupted Kenny's words and said: "You're right, the attack and defense at the last moment, it was Mo who made an excellent pursuit and cut Robinson's breakthrough at the last moment of this game, otherwise it would have been another team that won today." ”

Kenny was a little unhappy, he said: "We said okay, only discuss the performance on the field, not the victory or defeat, Mo's tactical role in New York is obviously not as big as TD in the Spurs, a tactical weapon for attacking the battle, and the other is the core of the tactical launch, which is not comparable." ”

Barkley said with a rogue look on his face at this time: "But you also have to know that wins are also part of the statistics, and only winners can be called outstanding performances." ”

In the face of Barkley's rogue behavior, Kenny Smith became angry and started a series of daily mutual scolding.

Later, when they both met, they said, "That kid at Barkley (Kenny) owes me a hundred dollars in wagering, and he won't pay me back." ”

The two of them had a lot of trouble in the studio, and outside the studio, two people who didn't know about the gamble were also inexplicably attacked by the media.

"TD, do you have any thoughts on the ink that is in place with you today? He's been playing in the No. 5 position this season, and this time he suddenly changed to the No. 4 position to play against you, what do you think? "The question is official.

So Duncan didn't answer in the style of the Spurs, but just said normally: "He's a very good player" After thinking about it, he added "It's hard to deal with." ”

Duncan may have said the first sentence to anyone, but the last sentence, he has not given it much, counting his entire career, in another time and space, he has only given two "half-men", one is Big Ben's defense, and the other is Yao Ming's step-back jumper. And now, Mo Xi is the first person to get Duncan's "difficult to deal with" comment, although Mo Xi's difficulty is more on the offensive end, but in fact, his toughness on the defensive end is also a headache, from the last defense, it can be seen that Mo Xi's defense may not be very good, but it is very clingy.

At this time, a malicious reporter threw out a much-anticipated question, and he asked, "So which of the two of you do you think will perform better in this game?" ”

In Duncan's opinion, this was a normal official problem, but this time it was a trick he didn't expect, but at this time, Duncan's San Antonio-esque humor appeared, and he said, "He can't do it with cars." ”

As soon as Duncan's voice fell, the audience fell silent.

A reporter tentatively asked, "So, what about on the court?" ”

Duncan grimaced.

At the same time, at the press conference in New York on the other side, Mo Xi was more gentle, at least a normal answer.

"Did you move from the No. 5 to the No. 4 position today to put Ewing and Robinson against each other or do you really want to play Duncan directly, or the two together?" This question simply leaves no other option for Moxi.

Mo Xi replied: "It's arranged by the coach, I'm just a player, I only fight for victory, on the field, I just obey the coach's arrangement." ”

The reporter continued to attack: "You don't play Duncan a lot of times, do you think this time is any different compared to the other times?" ”

Mo Xi thought for a moment and said, "Well, this time we won. No, I won last time, uh, so what's the difference? Well, I'm a year older again! Mo Xi also began to make trouble unreasonably, joking, instead of holding a press conference, it is better to let me take a break, the trip to Texas has just begun!

The reporter who couldn't bear it finally turned on the big killer directly, and said: "Barkley and Kenny Smith bet on who performs better between you and Duncan, betting a hundred dollars, and it is said that many casinos are following suit, what do you think?" ”

Mo Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't gamble. ”

……

"Can you talk about who you think is the better performer in this game, you or Duncan?" Journalists had to start using soft routines.

Unfortunately, Mo Xi recently picked up a book called Sun Tzu's Art of War from his grandfather, and he replied, "So who won the Barkley and Kenny Smith bet?" ”

Mo Xi's rhetorical question made the reporters speechless for a while, Mo Xi's answer is really very spiritual, indeed, this game aside from the outcome of the game, he and Duncan two traditional interior lines each have a good performance, but Mo Xi is more focused on the offensive end, Duncan has an excellent performance in all aspects, especially on the defensive end, it is still difficult to simply compare the performance of two people, for players of their level, the performance on the field is either evenly matched, or one side is completely blown up, This regular season meeting is important, but it's not particularly important, after all, the two teams are in the East and West, and if they want to meet in the playoffs, it's the day of the Finals, and before that, the Knicks and Spurs have to deal with a lot of opponents.

At the same time, a plane flew in from across the ocean and landed in Houston.
