But again, Brown would do the same. Only in this way can the roaring referee, the referee, and the league put pressure. It will be fairer for the referee to punish Zhang Zifeng next time.
At this time, TNT TV was replaying the video just now, and it was clear in the footage that it was a crisp and crisp cap.
Barkley shrugged and said, "It was a very bad misjudgment, and if it wasn't for the referee's error, maybe the 76ers would have won, but unfortunately this decision can't be changed." ”

What do you think of your opponent tonight, Zhang Zifeng? Kenny said that Zhang Zifeng must be a top 10 player for scoring guards in the future, what do you think of him? ”
Kobe Bryant smiled and said, "Everyone saw that Zhang Zifeng's performance was better than mine tonight, so we lost, and the 76ers won." Zhang Zifeng is a very talented guy, he is very similar to me. The same diligence, the same self-discipline, the same fighting spirit. Although he is not the best player in the league right now. But he's fighting against the best players in the NBA every day and trying to improve himself. I agree with Kenny's assessment that Zhang Zifeng's future is immeasurable, as long as he keeps working hard. He's going to be one of the best in the league like me. I believe that Zhang Zifeng can become a banner on the scoring guard like me! ”
