Chapter 507: Time is Gentle

Charles Barkley's laughter has always been unbridled, and he doesn't care about his image.

However, the scene where he slaps the table and laughs makes Kenny Smith next to him very uncomfortable, and he thinks that Charles Barkley is mocking himself with unbridled humiliation.

Although he has been trying his best to avoid a head-on confrontation with Charles Barkley for a while, maintaining the purpose of making a fortune in silence. But he is a person after all, the so-called mud bodhisattva also has three points of earthiness, and he was repeatedly pinched by Charles Barkley's neck and despised and ridiculed, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he finally broke out in Charles Barkley's unbridled laughter.

So, he slapped the table and stopped Barkley's unbridled laughter in an extremely rough voice: "Charles, do you think this is very funny? Aren't we telling the truth? ”

"That's right." Charles Barkley shrugged his shoulders, he was not intimidated by Kenny Smith's slapping the table and angry glare, and still looked at Smith very leisurely and nonchalantly: "Isn't this a joke that you came up with after holding back all night?" ”

When Kenny Smith heard this, he became even more angry, and said bluntly: "I know that you are a die-hard fan of dashing, and I know that you maintain his dignity like a bulldog." But, please respect the facts, the fact is that Kobe Bryant has scored in double digits, and Xiao is still zero. In terms of scoring, Xiao has already lost!! ”

Kenny Smith was furious.

Seeing this, Charles Barkley simply slapped the table and yelled back in a tougher tone: "If you respect the facts enough, you should know that Xiao Xiao's shooting percentage is much higher than that of Kobe Bryant." Xiao shot 65.56 percent from two-point range. Kobe Bryant shot just 46.5 percent from two-point range. He shot 53.6 percent from three-point range. Kobe Bryant is only 35.6 percent, and the gap between the two has doomed them to be players of the same grade anymore. So far, Kobe Bryant has taken 9 shots, and Xiao is 0. Only six minutes into the game, the total length of a match is 48 minutes. You're now swearing that Kobe Bryant won, aren't you kidding? ”

Charles Barkley was reasonable, full of momentum, and threw it on the table in a row. Suddenly, Kenny Smith was somewhat stunned.

At this time, Charles Barkley put down a more powerful sentence: "Do you dare to bet with me?" I'm betting after this game. Xiao is still the league's No. 1 scoring guard. Just bet 500,000 US dollars, just support Kobe Bryant like this, don't you dare to take out this money? ? ”

When Kenny Smith heard this, he instantly shook, and then the angry state quickly pulled out of his head...... He quickly calmed down, because money was his lifeline.

He pondered in his head for less than three seconds before making a quick decision...... Be silent, be silent. He didn't want to bet Charles Barkley on this issue because he felt that he was not sure of winning the 500,000 and that if he lost, he would definitely lose sleep for a few more nights. It's too much to do. Let's make a fortune and wait for the $3 million to be credited after the finals!

Thinking about three million dollars. Kenny Smith slowly calmed down again.

Charles Barkley saw Kenny Smith fall silent, and his head shrank again.

couldn't help but snort mockingly, and said with extreme disdain: "Okay, don't dare to make noise again, shrink your head and continue to be a turtle!" ”

For Charles Barkley's humiliation of invading the door without leaving any mercy, Kenny Smith gritted his teeth and endured it, he kept hinting to himself in his heart: Kenny, you must not be angry, you must not be angry, for the sake of three million, for the sake of three million, bear with it!!

Kenny Smith finally didn't continue to argue.

And the game has continued to begin.

The Lakers replaced Ron Artest with Lamar Odom and Jordan Farmar for Derrick Fisher, and it was clear that they were going to change their defensive strategy and focus more on offense, and for them aiming to win a championship, losing at home was intolerable. Of course, it is also important for Kobe Bryant to get back the first place in the world.

The Knicks also made a small change, with Stephen Marbury replacing Raymond Felton and Tracy Maddy replacing ...... Chic!

When Maddy walked onto the court wearing the No. 1 jersey, the entire Staples Arena was stunned, and no one expected that Xiao Dash would choose to return to the bench to rest and let Tracy Maddy play.

What's going on in the middle of a dashing head?

What is he going to do?

Does he think Tracy Maddy is still the Houston booster who was able to compete with Kobe Bryant three years ago?

Isn't it a little too conceited?

Lakers fans have felt the contempt and humiliation from Chic, and Kobe Bryant naturally feels it more directly. He felt that Xiao Shao didn't take himself seriously, and the flames of anger burned in his heart.

But when he saw Tracy Maddie, he shook Maddy's hand before starting the fight. After all, they are all opponents who have fought all their lives, and their feelings are sometimes even stronger than their friends.

After a little greeting and a few words, the battle had begun.

Back in the half, Kobe Bryant immediately held the ball to face Tracy Madty, and the momentum was very aggressive, and he did not show any mercy to Tracy Maddy because of his current physical condition...... If he did, it would be the biggest humiliation for Tracy Maddie.

A warrior never needs sympathy, and all sympathy and concession is humiliation.

However, Tracy Maddy is not as weak as everyone thinks. His steps weren't as fast as they used to be, but his height was still there, and so was his arm span. Moreover, he is more experienced than before, and his defensive enthusiasm is also stronger than before, I don't know how many times...... There was finally no laziness in his eyes!

At the end of his career, Tracy Maddie finally learned what it means to go all out, and there was finally a hint of murder in his eyes!

This made Kobe Bryant very satisfied!

He's been looking forward to this!

He's finally waiting for an all-out Tracy Maddie, even though he's no longer young. also slipped to the top. But he still has McGrady written on the back of his jersey after all!

Kobe Bryant got into a tussle with Tracy Maddy. The grappling is very difficult to solve.

But in the end, Kobe Bryant still used a very amplitude change of direction and turn to gain space, and then made a difficult step-back jumper...... By the time he made the jumper, Maddy had already pounced, but he still didn't cover the basketball...... The basketball flew above his fingertips...... Swish! Firmly into the Nets!

The ball is in!

Stamp screamed and cheered, and the DJ shouted Kobe Bryant's name. Soon, the voice of MVP also sounded at the scene.

However, Kobe Bryant pursed his lips, and he didn't think he actually succeeded in this ball. If it was Maddie back then. If it had been Maddie two years ago, his own ball would have been blocked...... After all, Tracy Maddy was so able to jump back then!!

"It's not bad, let's look at me next!" Tracy Maddy shrugged, and he seemed to be more receptive to the fact that the basketball was in the frame than Kobe Bryant.

With that, he quickly ran to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him.

When the two ran side by side, the fans on the sidelines and in front of the TV seemed to see the passing of time, as if they had returned to their old days...... Once upon a time. That's how they fight each other! It seems that time is still gentle!!

Time for the audience. Gentle indeed.

Tracy Maddy and Kobe Bryant seem to be recreating the time they used to watch on the court!

But time is cruel for these two parties.

When Tracy Maddy received the basketball, Kobe Bryant quickly clung to it. Tracy Madie was still holding the basketball high with one hand, and he was still testing it with his left foot...... It doesn't look the slightest bit different from before.

But Tracy Maddie knew that if it was his former self, he would have been able to pull it out on the spot, or just use the fastest first step in the world to pass Kobe Bryant.

But now, he must continue to probe and continue to pose for this boring move...... Let those fans reminisce about their old days!

This is a kind of helplessness, and the years have carved traces on him after all.

Soon, Maddie caught a glimpse of Jeffries running past Odom's defence and into the depths of the box, and Milicic was already covering as instructed on the tactical board.

If it had been Maddie in the past, he would have ignored the run, as he believed his individual ability could be above any tactic.

But now ..........

I saw Tracy Maddy make an upward shooting feint very quickly, and Kobe Bryant subconsciously jumped his center of gravity upward. Taking advantage of the moment when Kobe Bryant swooped up, Maddie quickly stepped forward to the cat's waist...... The movements are no longer as sharp as before, so Kobe Bryant quickly continued to block his way with a sliding step!

Yes, Kobe Bryant is blocking Maddie's path.

But he didn't get in the way of Maddie.

Tracy Maddy has thrown the basketball into the box with a very fast pass, Jeffries received the basketball very easily, Tracy Maddy's pass was very comfortable, so comfortable that he didn't need to adjust at all, and solved the offense with a layup! Because he was carefree, Milicic had already covered his entire back for him, and Tyson Chandler in front also blocked Andrew Bynum's interference! This is a layup under a fully secure system, calm and unhurried!!

When Jeffries scored, he was the first to reach out like Maddy, who passed the ball just right and comfortable.

Maddie smiled.

Kobe Bryant, who was next to him, asked in great surprise, "You actually passed the ball?" ”

"yes, I passed!" Tracy Maddie nodded, and her tone was gentle, more gentle than time!
