Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Chance for Revenge?
As soon as Barkley spoke, he knew that the other party would definitely be dissatisfied with what he said, so he didn't feel any surprise at Smith's words, thought about it and finally said, "Hehe, Smith, why don't we make a bet?" I'm betting that the Cavaliers will lead the Rockets by at least fifteen points after three quarters, I don't know if you dare? ”
As soon as the words came out, even he himself was startled, when did I become so bold? Barkley was very depressed about what he had just said, could it be that this was caused by his absolute confidence in the knights?
Not only was Barkley surprised by his words, but Smith, who was also sitting next to him and heard this, was also very surprised, how dare he be so bold, the Rockets are not under the Cavaliers in terms of overall strength, he bet that the Rockets lost by fifteen points in the third quarter, isn't this crazy?
A thought crossed his mind, and then he said, "Buckley, are you sure you're not crazy or did you eat bear's heart leopard gall?" How did you become so bold? After saying that, Smith looked at Barkley very puzzled.
"Hehe, you don't care whether I ate a bear's heart or a leopard's gall, you just have to say whether you dare to make this bet with me. Since you have such confidence in the rocket, you probably wouldn't refuse such a bet, right? Barkley looked at Smith with a smile.
Looking at this expression in Smith's eyes, he felt that there was something in it, or some conspiracy or something. But this is another good opportunity to win against Barkley, because he feels that the Cavaliers will definitely not be able to win the Rockets by 15 points, let alone 15 points in the third quarter.
After thinking about it, his heart was instantly moved by this bet, so he said, "Are you sure you bet with me that the Cavaliers can lead the Rockets by fifteen points after three quarters?" Apparently Smith was a little skeptical of this way of betting, and anyone would be suspicious, let alone the human Smith.
Barkley listened to Smith's words, and couldn't understand what he meant, and smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I might lie to you?" You just have to tell me if you dare to bet, if you don't, you just keep silent, don't say a word, how about it? ”
"Bet on it, who is afraid of you. But what's the bet? Wouldn't it still kiss the donkey's butt? Smith shook his heart and said.
"Naturally, it's not so boring that you still kiss that thing, it's not fun if you have more." Barkley glanced at Smith and said, "I remember you got an antique last year, and I got one last year, and I don't know what do you think about us betting on this thing?" Of course, if you don't dare, just because I haven't said it."
At the end of the day, Barkley didn't forget to spur Smith a bit.
Although Smith also knew that this was Barkley's agitation method, he couldn't control his heart, so that he would not be angry or angry, and said, "Bet on it, who is afraid of whom, I think my own winning rate will reach 90% in this way, so why don't I bet?" ”
Although Smith seems to have agreed to Barkley in anger, but in fact he has thought about it for a long time, so he agreed to Barkley, and Barkley's agitation method can be said to be just a fuse.
Barkley saw that Smith agreed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upward, and he said in his heart, "This time I finally have a chance to take revenge, you didn't bet with me the first few times, but this time I finally agreed, it's really fucking not easy." ”
Then Barkley seemed to remember something, and said, "Smith, what do you say about the loser?" He wanted to continue to say something in his heart just now, but suddenly remembered that the gambling method had not yet been decided, and he couldn't help but blame himself for being too careless, what if the other party gambled casually and didn't give himself a chance to take revenge?
How could he not know what Barkley was thinking, so he said, "Don't you just want to get revenge on me?" Ever since you lost once, you've been thinking about how to get revenge all the time, right? But I'm not going to say yes, this time it's what you want," Smith looked at Barkley, and then said, "But if you lose, it's no longer a kiss on the ass, and as for what I'll say then, what do you think?" ”
Barkley thought for a long time, and finally agreed, for him this is the best chance to take revenge, if he misses this time, he doesn't know when the other party will agree again, so Barkley can be said to have no choice but to agree, even if it is an unequal treaty, he has to agree.
Smith smiled lightly when he saw Barkley agree, apparently in a very happy mood. Since the bet was not made in front of the microphone, but was completely shielded from the microphone, the audience at the scene had no idea that Barkley and Smith had made another bet.
If the fans knew, they would definitely look at the two of them like watching a play, but unfortunately they didn't know.
The half-time break passed quickly, and naturally no one knew what tactics the coaches of the two sides had arranged and what they said, and even if they knew, it was nothing, it was man-made.
The game came back, Huang Jun took the serve from the baseline and slowly dribbled towards the opponent's half.
James came up directly to cover Huang Jun, which is completely different from the previous game in the first half, the previous one was either a center or a big forward came up to cover Huang Jun or something, but this will be replaced by James, is this the tactic arranged by Brown in the half?
This will Rockets players don't dare to miss any of James and Huang Jun, if they miss, they will be entered, so now almost all the Rockets players are looking at the two of them, because the threat of James and Huang Jun is too great to allow them to have the slightest bit of inattention or anything.
Huang Jun naturally saw all this in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, very much like a sneer, and very much like a mockery, but the real meaning has to be guessed by themselves.
Huang Jun did not use this cover to break through to the inside line as the Rockets players thought, but directly passed the ball through the hands of Battier who was slightly out of the gap at 45 degrees on the left side. At this time, everyone's eyes were on Huang Jun and James, thinking about how they would attack, and they didn't think that Huang Jun would choose to pass the ball, which was completely unexpected to them.
At this time, it is obviously too late to make up for Battier, although Battier's vacancy opportunity is only a little bit, but the heart of the opposite defender is not on him at all, and when he puts his heart back on Battier, Battier has already shot, it is a three-point without any doubt, and the three points of this point, Battier is also very good.
Battier's three points, without any surprise to the Cavaliers players, went straight into the net, and it was a hollow net, although Battier hadn't touched the ball for a long time, but the feel was still very good.
Seeing that the goal was scored, Huang Jun and James walked towards the half court almost at the same time, focusing on the new round of defense, and only smiled at Battier's goal just now.
The Rockets put the responsibility of ball control entirely in the hands of Brooks, in the first half of the game, Brooks did not score a point, which is very surprising, is Huang Jun's defense excellent or he himself is sluggish, for this answer can only be thought about in the heart.
At halftime, Brooks stabilized directly, but he didn't pass the ball out of his hand, and Maddie on the side didn't make a gesture to ask for the ball, and at the same time there was no dissatisfaction on his face, obviously this ball must be a tactic set up by the coach, otherwise it would not be like this.
The Knights' players were also secretly concerned about this, and they didn't have any intention of underestimating the enemy. And Huang Jun did not turn his attention to others, but put his whole heart on Brooks, he had a hunch that this ball must have a lot to do with Brooks, so he kept his attention on him, no matter what the other party did, he couldn't change his original intention.
Seeing Huang Jun like this, Brooks was not in a hurry, but patiently watched the running position of his teammates, and occasionally looked at Huang Jun, and at the same time secretly thought about the time in his heart, but he didn't want to have an offensive violation or something after a break, that would be a tragedy.
Seeing that the time was almost up, suddenly Yao Ming came up and gave Brooks a cover, Huang Jun was very helpless when he saw this, and could only watch Brooks just give himself away.
Brooks, who passed Huang Jun, did not choose to break through to the inside line or anything, but directly pulled up outside the three-point line and shot, this ball Brooks shot very resolutely, without a trace of hesitation.
The ball fell directly into the net like a rainbow, and the three-point shot was hit, to which Brooks just smiled slightly, and there was no surprise about it, as if he had expected it for a long time.
Brooks finally opened his head, and finally hit his first goal of the game in the second half, and finally broke the embarrassing zero score record, but Brooks didn't have an embarrassed look on his face, but a determined look, obviously never lost confidence in his 6.
This three-point is equivalent to the three-point shot of Battier just now, but Battier's three-point is obviously easier than Brooks's three-pointer, but the only thing that is the same is that it is the signature three-point action of the two.
Huang Jun, who came back, did not continue to choose the cover pass tactic just now, but passed the ball directly to James. James, who received the ball, dribbled directly and passed the ball to Landry, who came out of the inside, and Landry's surroundings were very empty at this time, completely throwing aside the defender Scola just now. Landry, who received the ball, did not hesitate, and directly made a mid-range jumper, which easily added two more points to the team's scoreboard.
Next, Brooks on the Rockets' side dribbled the ball to the half court and passed the ball to Maddie, and Maddie's choice of offense can be described as very simple, without any technical content at all, just a direct dribble step, and then then shoot the ball, it's so simple.
However, the easiest way, and the most effective way, saw the ball go into the net to add two more points to the team, and Maddie didn't have any happy expression on his face, because they were the ones who were behind in the score at this time, so there could be no happy expression on that handsome face.
At this time, Barkley and Smith, who were watching the game on the field in the commentary, were a little nervous, no matter who scored, one of them would be nervous, but on the surface they still looked like nothing happened.
