Chapter 42: A Flying Pig

The Wizards' locker room at halftime was a joyous affair as the team finally swept away a four-game losing streak. Now they have a 20-point lead over the 76ers, who are recognized as the biggest players in the East, at halftime, which is almost a gap of several notches off the team. Although the 76ers have not been as good as they used to be this season, beating the Reservoir Dogs is a favorite of the Wizards' five respected veteran artists.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

"Guys, guys, come here!" Hu Qingniu clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to look at him.

Everyone looked at each other in unison, and the two living treasures, Barkley and Rodman, who were chasing each other, also stopped.

Who has the right to speak in the current team and who is the hero, everyone knows in their hearts. The person who gathered their group of old men was Hu Qingniu, and it was Hu Qingniu who made an absolute judgment and had the right to speak tactically. In short, there are two people in this team who cannot be offended, one is Jordan and the other is Hu Qingniu.

Hu Qingniu looked at the team he pulled out with satisfaction: "We played well in the first half, especially Michael, in the face of Iverson's provocation, he just chose to fight back more physically. ”

Turning his head to look at Buckley, Buckley suddenly felt a chill around him. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary to provoke the young coach, Barkley was heartbroken.

'Ross Barkley, you were too positive in the first half, you know that physical strength is the fuel for us to move forward, and try to do as little as possible those runs throughout the game. You just have to take care of the shots near the box and the rebounds in the front court, don't get the script wrong, you know?! ”

"Yes, Coach!" Barkley bared his big white teeth, but fortunately he was only told, "I only shot in the box in the second half. ”

"Michael," Hu Qingniu's main concern is still Jordan's physical strength, "you try to play as little as possible in the second half, your physical strength is too much during this time." Don't care about the stats, only if the team has a good record, the MVP will be yours. ”

Hu Qingniu was ready for a big change in the second half to save some players' physical strength. The second-half starters will be Kwame Brown, Ross Barkley, Jeffries, Larry Hughes and Tim Hardaway.

Barkley is a player that Hu Qingniu focuses on and needs to play more, and he is in good physical condition. Tim Hardaway, as the team's core point guard, needs to understand more about the characteristics of each player and practice more together.

Why focus on Buckley?

Hu Qingniu has his own considerations, first of all, as the team's second singles point, Barkley's position is undoubtedly very important. There is also Barkley's ability to swing the big forward and small front positions, and if necessary, playing a small lineup Hu Qingniu will put him at the top of the center, of course, this situation is not desirable for the Wizards' current configuration.

Low post, face frame, mid-range shot, and even the occasional three-pointer, Barkley alone can enrich Hu Qingniu's tactical board, and this kind of player must of course be developed well. Barkley mainly plays without the ball in Hu Qingniu's vision, and as Jordan's wingman, whether it is stealing opportunities or resisting hard, he must be strong at critical moments.

The task in the third quarter was to get the ball to Barkley, and every Wizards player who came on the court was given this main task.

Looking at Keith Van Horn's pale face and remembering the ravages Rodman had inflicted on him in the first half, Barkley smiled evilly.

Van Horn saw the disrespectful old rascal on the other side with such an expression on him, and the handsome white guy was about to cry. Nima, it's endless, why did she change to a stronger Humpty Dumpty.

One of the old men on the court, the short and stout rebounding monster is not just talking.

Ewing won the opening jump shot, so the 76ers served in the second and third quarters.

Iverson has the ball on the gas pedal, and his basketball court has never had brake pads.

You can vote, I'm faster than you. You can defend, I'm you, you're fast. In short, it's just a word fast.

In a flash of lightning, Tim Hardaway, who had stepped forward to delay, was left behind in despair, and he didn't even touch the corner of Iverson's clothes.

The blue 76ers jersey and the No. 3 dancing at high frequency behind it are like a speeding subway! And Tim Hardaway, didn't make it!

The entire Wizards team was unstoppable, and Barkley perfectly implemented Coach Hu's instructions, just raised his hand slightly, and let Iverson pass.

Hu Qingniu's original words were that Iverson only scored two points with such a big effort, and it was easy for us to score two points on the 76ers' head, and we didn't have to spend too much physical effort to worry about it.

As the last line of defense, young people always love to perform, so he was shaken up by Iverson's elf-like dance, and Iverson still made an easy layup.

Finally it was the Wizards' turn to attack.

"I'm flying pig Barkley back, haha."

Barkley couldn't help but talk to himself with excitement that the entire third quarter was his showtime. He's even fantasizing about a live DJ announcing him, and next to him is Sir Charles Buckley, the planet's strongest fighter.

Tim Hardaway dribbled beyond the three-point line, but his dribble couldn't get away from Iverson. He could only rely on his signature crotch dribble to engage with the ever-energetic Iverson, and the two fought from the top arc to the 45-degree three-point line.

Barkley suddenly lifted up to Tim Hardaway to block and dismantle, and Iverson, who had no brake pads, instantly felt like he had been bounced to the ground by a large ball of meat, and the "little bug" spiritually burst into the penalty area from the right side.

Van Horn was lightweight and quick-footed, and he intercepted Tim Hardaway. Unexpectedly, a ball-like creature slid past him, and he couldn't help but take a few steps to stabilize his body. When he looked back, a large circular shadow had covered his head.

All the audience mouths were opened into an "O" shape, and a big pig was flying in the sky.

It was something more shocking than seeing Jordan dunk at the free-throw line, a big fat man who had become a ball and flew in the air in a free way.

No matter how you think about it, it's all supernatural events.

Barkley showed a positive reaction and bounce that didn't match his stature after the pick-and-roll, cutting inside sharply and struggling to leap in front of an empty basket. Tim Hardaway's pass arrives.

β€œCharles Barkleyyyyyyyyyy!!!”

"Flying Pigs from the Sir Charles Barkley Show" !!" The shouts of the live DJ.

"Roar! Woo-la-la, woo-la-la! Barkley thumped his chest excitedly, screaming and running to the bench.

Everyone on the Wizards' bench was covered in black lines, and they all looked like I didn't recognize this sand sculpture.

It was also two points, and Barkley did take it much easier, he just turned around at the three-point line and came back to jump and dunk.

Iverson patted his tight thigh, sighed, and reluctantly motioned to his teammates to serve quickly, maybe he could take the opportunity to play a fast attack.
