Chapter 181: Barkley's unprecedented bet

　　 The 1 to 1 score is not too bad for the Mavericks.
　　Because they won the first game and the bo7 game, they still have the home court advantage.
　　 After a two-day break, the Mavericks rushed to San Antonio to start two away games in the series.
　　 These two away games are extremely difficult for the Mavericks.
　　 These two away games, Duncan continued to show his determination.
　　 In Game 3, Duncan focused on defense. Although he only scored 18 points, he contributed 15 baskets, 3 steals and 7 blocks.
　　 More importantly, he limited Nowitzki to only 9 points.
　　 The Spurs also won the game 83 to 73 with a defense like a bronze wall.
　　 In Game 4, Nowitzki found the 30 points he felt was a series-high, but Duncan also broke out again, scoring 32 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists.
　　 After four games, the Mavericks have fallen 1 to 3 in the big score.
　　 The Mavericks played in the first game with a heartbeat.
　　 But the NBA playoffs are not NCAA March Madness after all. In a whole series, the Mavericks are weaker than the Spurs in terms of experience and strength.
　　Of course the most important thing is that the Spurs have Duncan.
　　 O'Neal said that his grandma can win the championship with Jordan. In fact, his grandma can also touch the floor with Duncan every year.
　　 A certain gun can't wait to be born 5 years early, I'll be your Chris Parker, isn't it fragrant?
　　 After the fourth game, TNT’s latest issue of "NBA Insider" once again attracted the attention of fans.
　　 "They can't win another game in the series."
　　The old representative of Barkley spoke.
　　 He was talking about the Mavericks.
　　 But as soon as this sentence was said, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith had already laughed.
　　 They can't count it. This is the first time Barkley has said this about the Mavericks.
　　 No, it should be the "poisonous milk" Mavericks to be precise.
　　 Now that the word was uttered by Sun Hao, it is a hot forum.
　　 "Charles, I understand now, you are actually a fan of the Dallas Mavericks."
　　 Smith suppressed a smile and said.
　　 "Man, what are you talking about!"
　　 Barkley has his mouth wide open.
　　 "How do you prove that you are not? You know you have a mouth with poisonous milk."
　　 Smith was not ready to talk to his plastic brother.
　　 "We bet."
　　 "What to bet on?"
　　 Kenny Smith also got a lot of energy when he heard the word bet.
　　 The first two times, he won $2,000 easily.
　　 Since then, Barkley has rarely taken the initiative to talk about betting.
　　 After being bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of well ropes. No one’s money was caused by the wind.
　　 But I don’t know what’s going on tonight, Lord Bart is going to be up again.
　　 "If the Mavericks can win another game, if Michael does come back, I will come back with him."
　　 But Barkley's next words were never thought of by Smith.
　　 Even Johnson opened his mouth for a moment.
　　 buddy, are you drunk? What nonsense are you talking about here!
　　 They usually have only one basic content when they explain, and they rely on free play for the rest of the time.
　　 This has worked very well in the past, but what Barkley said just now was really unexpected.
　　 "Charles, I am very suspicious."
　　 Smith thought Barkley was joking, and smiled and looked down at Barkley's belly.
　　 How long have these people been retired? No one believes this!
"I was serious."
　　 But Barkley's next expression was really serious.
　　 "Although I don't think the Mavericks can win another game."
　　 Johnson and Smith made a cut expression, and Barkley is still doing show effects.
　　 "But what I said was really serious."
　　 Buckley emphasized again.
　　 But his words caused Johnson and Smith to laugh again, apparently they still didn't believe Barkley.
　　 But Barkley's words made the fans on the forum boil again.
　　 Whether or not Jordan will come back is still unknown, and Barkley is also here to join in the fun!
　　 And really speaking, Barkley also has more reasons to come back than Jordan.
　　 After all, as a historical superstar, his career is without a crown.
　　 Because of this, he can't lift up in front of Jordan's super giants. As long as the opponent talks about the championship, he can only silently quit the "group chat."
　　……
　　 After returning to Dallas, the Mavericks prepared for the fifth game.
　　 Because they have lost three games in a row, they have no chance to beat Tianwang Mountain.
　　 For them, the next game is a .home game.
　　 Although, this is just their first playoff trip.
　　Although, there is no shame in losing to the Spurs led by Pinnacle Duncan.
　　 But, if you just lose the game, it's still unwilling.
　　 "Sun, have you seen the inside story of the latest issue of "NBA"?"
　　 After this day of training, Nowitzki wiped his long hair and asked Sun Hao.
　　 Sun Hao shook his head. He is not thinking about how to break the Spurs defense in the game, or how to start training the middle distance next season. How can he look at that.
　　 "Barkley said we will win another game and he will be back next season."
"what?"
　　 Sun Hao temporarily let go of what was in his mind.
　　 "By the way, he still said if Jordan comes back."
　　 Nowitzki then added.
　　 "Fudge people."
　　 Sun Hao said confidently after listening.
　　 The words after Nowitzki reminded him.
　　 In the year of Jordan's comeback in history, Barkley did say that.
　　 After all, Barkley has only retired for one year, and his comeback is much less difficult than Jordan.
　　 But in fact, Jordan finally made a comeback and this guy didn't make a comeback.
　　 Everyone has a different attitude towards basketball.
　　 At the end of his career, Barkley ran to team up with Olajuwon, but in the end he failed. He basically accepted his fate in the end.
　　 So anyone can come back, but he can't.
　　 "Do you think this is completely impossible?"
　　 Nowitzki was very confused about Sun Hao's determined attitude.
　　 "Although it is difficult for us to win the Spurs, there are also opportunities. Jordan's comeback... and there are opportunities, but even if these two things happen at the same time, Barkley will not."
　　 Sun Hao is still very determined.
　　 "Why?"
　　 Nowitzki asked.
　　 "Barkley is just to earn eyeballs and increase the ratings of the show! Otherwise, why do you think he grabs our wool every time? The whole world knows his poisonous milk but he doesn't know it? Or is he stupid?"
　　 Nowitzki nodded thoughtfully after hearing what Sun Hao said.
　　 There is indeed nothing wrong with this.
　　 "But... Although he has a big mouth, he fulfills every bet he makes."
　　 Nowitzki murmured to himself.
　　 Sun Hao was taken aback.
　　 It seems... so.
　　 In history, Barkley's most famous is a donkey.
　　 At a certain point in the novel, I almost ruined the of the donkey.
　　 But people did.
　　 And really speaking, he had never heard Barkley use a bet on the TNT show in his previous life to say he was going to come back.
　　 Could it be that Barkley might come back?
　　 For the first time, Sun Hao felt that something was undergoing incredible changes.
　　 After all, Yao Ming has already run for the election in advance.
　　 A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas in the United States two weeks later.
　　 The butterfly effect brought by Sun Hao after passing through, it may be happening.
　　 "But seriously, can we win another game?"
　　 After talking about the gossip, Nowitzki then turned his attention to the upcoming game.
　　 After these few games, he was really convinced by Duncan.
　　 It's really hard to imagine that there will be such a powerful power forward, and the opponent only entered the league a year earlier than himself.
　　 And he also knew that Duncan had suffered a serious injury before, which almost used the kind of athletic ability.
　　 This is outrageous.
　　 "It can, Dirk."
　　 Sun Hao said.
　　 He doesn't know when it will start, Nowitzki treats him as the mainstay.
　　Mingming, his official age is only 18.
"Ok?"
　　 Nowitzki looked at Sun Hao.
　　 "Barkley said that if we lose, we can win."
　　 Sun Hao knew that Nowitzki was under pressure, and said with a smile.
　　 Nowitzki laughed after listening.
　　 seems to be the reason.
　　 "But seriously, Dirk, I think you can win or not."
　　 After making a joke, Sun Hao talked about this topic seriously.
　　 "I don't understand."
　　 Nowitzki didn't know what Sun Hao meant.
　　 "Mid-range, you must shoot them."
　　 Sun Hao replied.
　　 In fact, from the beginning of the game in San Antonio, he discovered that the Spurs' defense has changed.
　　 is not only for him, but for the entire Mavericks team.
　　 The Spurs are deliberately giving the Mavericks mid-range, which makes the Mavericks sense of space meaningless, especially when they can't get the ball in the mid-range.
　　 In fact, this defensive strategy was used by the Spurs in the regular season, and it made the Mavericks uncomfortable at that time.
　　 If it hadn’t been for the Spurs’ shooters to collectively lose their accuracy at that time, Sun Hao hadn’t had a chance to make a three-pointer in a row in that game.
　　 In the playoffs, this happened.
　　 Looking back, winning the game may not be a good thing.
　　 "I made a lot of money in the last game."
　　 Nowitzki replied.
　　 The problem Sun Hao said, old Nelson also saw, so Nowitzki shot a lot in the middle distance in the last game, and also got a series high of 30 points.
　　 "Then invest more."
　　 Sun Hao replied directly.
　　 To win this Spurs, someone has to score an explosion.
　　 Mavericks, now only Nowitzki has this ability.
"I understand."
　　 Nowitzki nodded vigorously.
　　 Sun Hao conquered Duncan and Nowitzki with his arrogant performance in the first game.
　　 But in fact, Sun Hao has done enough, and his team boss must also do better.
　　 The fifth game of the game is coming soon, because of Barkley's remarks, this game has received unprecedented attention.
　　 Of course, including domestic ones.
　　 Domestic fans are looking forward to it, and Su Qun and Zhang Weiping also appeared on the broadcast booth in Dallas.
　　 This is likely to be the last playoff game of Sun Hao's rookie season, although that is not what they want to see.
　　 The Mavericks were in the locker room doing their final preparations before the game.
　　 "Tony, tell everyone about you in Chicago."
　　 Before leaving, Harris looked at Kukoc and said.
　　 Inside this young Mavericks team, there is an experienced playoff boss.
　　 Tony Kukoc, the super sixth man of the second dynasty of the Bulls, the third scoring point of the team outside of Jordan and Pippen.
　　 Kukoc nodded.
　　 Although his ability to tell stories is not as good as Eisley, because of personal experience, the feeling is different.
　　 What he shared with everyone was a little story about the Eastern Conference finals of the Bulls in the 97-98 season.
　　The Bulls that year were full of injuries and internal conflicts. It was almost impossible to complete the second three consecutive championships.
　　Especially in the Eastern Conference finals, and the old rival Pacers met for the third consecutive year.
　　 It was a real fight of blood and flesh.
　　 7 games, 6 games within 6 points, 2 games within 3 points.
　　 Even the of basketball, Jordan, was forced to make a dribble mistake in the final lore.
　　 However, in that round of the series, the only game with a score difference of more than 6 points, the Bulls beat the Pacers 106 to 87 at home in G5.
　　 Before that game, the Bulls were tied with the Pacers in two consecutive games, but they beat their opponents at Tianwang Mountain, which seemed unbelievable.
　　 And the reason that happened is that Phil Jackson said something before the game.
　　 "Forget about how we played in the past four games, forget about the big scores, and think back to when we dominated the game as we wish, and follow that feeling."
　　 This sentence sounds like a Zen master, but for the extremely nervous team ~EbookFREE.me~ it is a great psychological relaxation.
　　 As a result, the Bulls led the Pacers by 31 points in three quarters.
　　 Kukoc deserves to have followed Jordan for three consecutive championships. The story is very enlightening.
　　 From the previous dialogue between Nowitzki and Sun Hao, it can be felt that after being forced into a 1-3 situation, the players are under a lot of psychological pressure.
　　 In addition to Barkley's words, it is also invisible to continue to put pressure.
　　 If they lose this time, Barkley can take off the poisoned milk hat that has been on his head and continue to tease the Mavericks.
　　 After Kukoc finished speaking, Nelson also announced the starting adjustment.
　　 Bradley returned to the bench and Nash returned to the starting lineup.
　　 may be forced to the edge of elimination, or may be inspired by Kukoc's story, all in all, the Mavericks are going back to their regular season lineup.
　　 As for the defense, the previous lineup didn't defend it. Since it's impossible to defend, it's better to poke each other.
　　 "Guys, for Dallas, for the fans, and more for yourself."
　　 After adjusting the starting lineup, Old Nelson said affectionately.
　　 For this series, he has put down his personal grievances with Popovich. The victory he needs is for the future of the team.
　　 This team is still young and confidence will affect the future of next season and beyond.
　　 "Mavericks."
　　 Esley was the first to raise his hand to make a fist, and the other team members exposed their hands and leaned on them.
　　 "Victory!"
　　 Everyone shouted a slogan, then turned and ran out of the locker room.
　　 Fight back!
