In the TNT studio, Barkley said to the camera: "Today is Saturday, November 4, 2000, welcome to TNT's NBA live, I'm Charles Barkley, and I have an important person next to me, come and say hello to everyone." ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Bill Wharton, and I'm glad to be a commentator this time." Bill said.

"Hey, Bill." Barkley said, "There is a deep meaning in calling you today, you know? ”

"Know......" Bill said.

"Hahaha," Barkley laughed, "then I'll interview you: the Portland Trail Blazers are your parent team, Luke is your son, but you're on the 76ers, which side do you support?" ”

"Well, that's hard to say." Bill perfunctorily said, "I'm a commentator......"

"Alright, alright." Barkley waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about that, just say who you support." ”

"Uh...... Well, from a father's point of view, of course I want my kids to win, but the fact is that the Portland Trail Blazers are stronger, and the fact that they can play seven games against the Lakers is enough to show that they are ......."

"You're still a father, aren't you?" Barkley said, "It's really not worth it for Luke. Dad didn't support him. Thinking about the day before yesterday, TNT didn't broadcast the 76ers' game live, but the damn fat man (O'Neal's), and I cried. I feel so sad for Luke. He left two tears in his eyes.

"Bill...... Bill was a little speechless when he saw this scene. But what happened next surprised him even more.

Barkley exclaimed: "Luke, hurry up and change your name, call Luke Barkley, I'm Sir Charles to be your father, don't want this bad Bill's father......"

Everyone was stunned by Barkley's words, which lasted for two seconds, and then ......

"Hahaha......" laughed in the studio.

Luke, who was on the field, didn't know what was going on in the studio, and he was watching his opponent right now.

Although Theo Ratliff is much younger than Sabonis, Sabonis is not a vegetarian player.

In the annals of basketball, he is known as the most talented center on the planet, the most legendary giant, but also the saddest. In 1992, the NBA-starred Dream Team replaced the U.S. national team of college students and amateurs to Barcelona – no American professional basketball player had ever appeared at the Olympics – and a new chapter in Olympic basketball history began. The reason why these arrogant NBA superstars gave up their vacations and went to Europe without any effort was a miserable defeat or, to put it mildly, because of one man: Arvidas Sabonis. In the semifinals of the men's basketball team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Lithuanian led the former Soviet men's basketball team to a neat and unbeatable defeat of the United States team - one of the few "stains" in the history of American basketball. Especially his big head, which is very fierce when it comes up to people (Jason Williams himself said, of course, not "white chocolate", but the rebounding king). Theo Ratliff was like a kid at Sabonis, and he simply took the ball away.

The ball was in the hands of Damon "Space Squirrel" Stoudemire. Although Damon Stoudemire is not tall, he is sturdy and has amazing speed, which earned him the title of "space flying squirrel". For this kind of point guard with good speed and strength, Snow still has some difficulty defending. But Snow was still very conscientious, sticking to Damon Stoudemire and not taking the next step. Although he couldn't get rid of Snow's defense, he still waved his hand and called Rasheed Wallace to help him block the pick-and-roll. As soon as Snow was blocked, he was separated from Damon Stoudemire. Luke rushed to make up for it, but Damon Stoudemire was not greedy at all and returned to Sabonis. Theo Ratliffe was not stupid and immediately stuck to Sabonis.

But is Sabonis so easy to deal with?

Of course not, the basketball is swinging like an apple in Sabonis's hands. He singled Theo Ratliffe with the ball. Sabonis made a light back turn, as if to pass the "apple" in his hand, and then pulled the "apple" back in front of him to make a shooting feint, then waited for Theo Ratliffe to jump, and finally moved the other foot forward to move to the basket, scoring a layup and making a foul. Although this is not a dream dance step of "Big Dream", it still has the same effect.

"Beep - 76ers No. 50 foul, Portland Trail Blazers goal valid, plus one free throw." The referee gestures to the referee's bench.

Theo Ratliff was given an unnecessary foul in vain.

Free throws are an indispensable skill for both whites and Asians (but the reality of Luke Wharton just doesn't shoot well, which is not an irony), Sabonis easily takes the free throw and then turns to go back to the court.

Sabonis is good offensively, but not so well defensively. The unscientific training on the Lithuanian farms as a teenager ruined his legs and knees, (there is a joke: the American press ridiculed: Sabonis is 33 years old, but his knee is about 133 years old, so cold) His golden age and the NBA were missed for political reasons, and he will never be able to average 30 points and 14 rebounds per game like O'Neal. The NBA's farther three-point line spreads the defense and makes Sabonis' playmaking talent unplayable. For him to move slowly, the NBA's defensive 3 seconds is a great insult to his defensive ability. On the defensive end, he's not as dangerous as he is on the offensive end. But that's only relatively, and his defense isn't bad. His hands are too big, and he has a long reach, a good block and a good steal. There is no stage fright in front of O'Neill. Theo Ratliff was completely inadequate in front of him. So, after several rounds of inside fighting, the score became 10:2, and Theo Ratliff also went down to rest because of 2 fouls, so the 76ers also chose to play on the outside.

Tony Kukoc chose to come on his own, or his simple shaky breakthrough, but he defended him with the best small forward in the league - Scott Pippen, his character label is "all-round", the league's most versatile small forward, there is no one (there was no James at the time, I guess LeBron was not pleasing in Pippen's heyday), "Batman" is his nickname, "God of Basketball" good helper. In front of this former little brother, Pippen didn't give him any face, and directly beat him to the ground. The score became 15:5. Seeing this, Luke said helplessly, "Okay, it's my turn again." ”
