Chapter 21: The Premiere

PS. When dangdang, the second plus more arrived. Hand over your tickets and collections!

On October 10, 2007, the Quickloan Center Arena ushered in its first preseason game of the new season.

"Welcome to TNT, I'm Sir Charles Barkley, the greatest player of all time, and I'm next to my little henchman Kenny Smith, and now it's TNT TV bringing you the 2007-2008 Washington Wizards vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game. This is the Quickloan Center Arena, oh, this damn name, it makes me feel like I'm going to be exploited on the **, it's so ugly. Before the match could start, Barkley opened his big fat mouth and spat at the star.

"Hey, hey, Charles, wait, what do you just mean?"

"What's wrong, Kenny?" Barkley raised his head, looked at Smith with a blank expression, and said, "Don't you think the name Quickloan Center Arena is ugly?" ”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Kenny Smith was furious, "Why do you say I'm your henchman? ”

"Isn't it?" Barkley showed an innocent expression and said: "When you played, you were Olajuwon's sidekick, who was the most popular commentator?" Sir Charles Barkley. Who is Sir Charles Barkley's best partner? Kenny Smith. So of course you're my henchman. ”

"You......" Kenny Smith paused, a relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his face, pretending to inadvertently raise his right hand, shaking the bright championship ring and said, "Yes, I'm a little henchman." It's a pity that my little henchman has some things that you don't have, such as this. ”

As we all know, Barkley's biggest chagrin is that he has never won an NBA championship, so he especially hates others showing off his championship ring in front of him. Staring at the championship ring on Smith's hand, Barkley's eyes were a little red: "Hmph, my grandmother and Olajuwon at that time can win the championship." ”

"Oh, I think someone seemed to run to hug Olajuwon's thighs too." Kenny Smith smiled indifferently and said, "It's a pity that I didn't use it, and I couldn't get the championship ring by hugging my thighs." Oh, Charles, so that guy isn't as good as your grandma? Oh, I can't believe it, how the hell did he play in the NBA? ”

At the mention of this topic, Barkley's face stinged again. This is really not to blame him, who called the rocket at that time to run into a strong enemy. The first season was supposed to be their strongest, when Olajuwon was not old, the glider could still fly, and he was regained his bravery, but ...... But he encountered the 'black and white' in the sky.

The combination of Malone and Stockton made them a bitter blow in the Western Conference Finals.

And then it didn't get as good as the year......

"Alright, Kenny, the game is about to start, and if you don't do your job properly, you'll be deducted from your salary, so let's turn our attention to the playing field."

"It's useless for you to change the subject so bluntly, Charles." This time, Kenny Smith got carried away, and said proudly to Barkley's Kenny Smith with his chin: "Even if you don't want to mention it again, the whole American audience has already seen it just now." ”

"Oh, I've just got the starting line-ups for both teams here, let's take a look." Kenny Smith was completely ignored by Barkley.

"Oh, let's take a look at the home team's Cavaliers, their starting center is Ilgoskas, oh, this old guy hasn't retired yet, I really doubt his knees can still support him to run. Power forward, huh? I haven't seen this name, I guess it's a rookie, I'll talk about it later. Small forward LeBron James, shooting guard Larry Hughes, shooting guard Damon Jones ......"

"Wait, Charles, you're wrong, Damon is a playmaker, not a shooting guard." As soon as he found out about Buckley's mistake, Kenny Smith immediately poked it out.

"I said something wrong?" Barkley looked at Kenny Smith with disdain and said: "Kenny, your information is too backward, now even my Wonder knows that the playmaker of the Cavaliers is LeBron James, what can Damon do, dribble over half court, hand it to James, stand on the three-point line and wait for the opportunity?" Even if you don't think Damon is a shooting guard, he won't score a few points anyway, and you have to say he's a dribble guard. ”

"Okay, I don't quarrel with you, you always have a point, by the way, who is Wonder Wise, you finally had a baby, how come I don't know?"

"No, it's a stray dog I picked up on the street the other day, you know, I've always been a very caring person, ah, it's off topic again, let's continue."

Finally, I finished the roster with a rough introduction, and the game was about to start.

Zhang Kong stood on the basketball court, feeling the solid floor and the frenetic atmosphere of the scene.

Basketball...... He felt something boiling inside him.

"Don't be too nervous." At this time, Ilgoskas came to Zhang Kong's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Just play it as a training match, relax, your ability is no worse than anyone else." ”

Knowing that Ilgoskas wanted to decompress himself, Zhang Kong smiled and said, "Thank you, but I'm not nervous at all, I'm just excited." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Kong looked at his opponent.

Antoine Jamison. The No. 2 man of the Wizards, he played 70 games for the Wizards last season, started 70 games, and averaged 19.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, which is very close to the data of 20+10, which is already the level of star-level interior players in the league, especially now that the league's high-quality interior is gradually scarce, it is even more impressive.

In his previous life, Antoine Jamison was sold to the Cavaliers by the Wizards and then traded to the Lakers. But now, he is still the second most deserved of the Wizards, and the team's status is second only to General Arenas.

"Tonight, defend him, no, keep a clean sheet against him!"

Perhaps it was Zhang Kong's stunned eyes that stimulated Jamison's nerves, Jamison, who was warming up, turned his head and glared at Zhang Kong, raised his index finger and thumbs, and made a pistol firing motion at Zhang Kong.

Such an action, in the Quick Loan Center Arena, naturally caused earth-shattering boos, and for Jamison, who dared to provoke at the Cavaliers' home court, the Cavaliers fans gave him merciless boos.

The referee looked at it and didn't speak.

The game hasn't started yet, so you can leave this alone, otherwise he's going to blow for a technical foul.

"Okay, the game is about to start, how about Charles, which team do you like tonight?" Kenny Smith asked.

"The Cavaliers, of course!" Barkley straightened his clothes decently and replied in a righteous manner.

"Oh, why?" Kenny Smith exclaimed and couldn't help asking, "Haven't you always looked at LeBron James unpleasantly and said that he was a spoiled child?" Why are you bullish on the Cavaliers again? ”

"Oh Kenny, what do you want me to rate your IQ. But it's no wonder that not everyone in this world is as smart as Sir Barkley. Kenny, TNT is so gracious, he actually gave you such a decent job, you should be grateful to him, on behalf of the Disability Alliance...... Hey, okay, okay, don't look like you want to duel me. Barkley teased Smith's anger and changed the subject for a moment: "I think there's only one reason why the Cavaliers will win, LeBron James." ”

"Why?" Kenny Smith asked through gritted teeth, while trying to press himself in his heart, working hours, working hours, working hours, working hours, all for work......

"Do you need to ask? There aren't many people in the league who are biased by the referee every time they turn a critical moment. Barkley shook his head and said, "And he can't be called favoritism anymore, the league is simply blowing the black whistle nakedly." Barkley said disdainfully: "Do you know what to do when you meet such a guy in my time?" That's right, a hard punch in his face, I promise he won't dare to use this tactic from now on. When Jordan stole a step, I taught him a hard lesson, asking him to give up these inappropriate small means and concentrate on playing, otherwise how could he have achieved today? ”
