Chapter 25 Never Bet on Barkley

On October 10, after many days, Malone returned to the Rose Garden Stadium to play against the Suns at home.

Entrance at 5 pm, the rose garden is full of people.

The Trail Blazers' football market is already very good, and the sports atmosphere is very strong.

It's just because of some sinking in recent years that it's not as popular as before, but the arena attendance rate last season was still ranked among the top five in the NBA.

The ball market was already very good. In Malone's first appearance, he finished top pick Joe Smith. As he continued to cut (swipe) amazing data, as he defeated Jordan and the Bulls.

Blazers fans take a look.

Hey!
This kid can make the Blazers great again!

They immediately fell in love with this little giant of Huaguo, and the Portland ball market became completely hot.

Anyway, preseason tickets are cheap.

The average ticket price for the NBA regular season last season was around $30.

The highest Knicks and Lakers can reach 60 dollars.

The ticket price of the Trail Blazers is mid-to-lower, only about 25 dollars lower than the average ticket price.

The preseason is cheaper, about the same as a day's meal, not much more expensive than watching a movie.

In this era where the Internet is not so advanced, watching football is the best recreational activity, and it is also for being able to go to the scene to support the team when a strong enemy strikes.

Before Barkley transferred to the Suns, the Suns had always been a veteran.

But with Fliggy, the Suns really soared into the sky. They won 92+ games in the 93-60 season and reached the finals all the way, forcing Jordan's potential to explode and play the strongest performance in history.

Although he didn't make it to the finals in the next few seasons, he has been in the forefront steadily.

There were still 59 wins last season, and they fought with the defending champion Rockets to tiebreaker, only losing 1 point at the last moment.

Facing such a strong enemy, when Malone and others entered the field, the Blazers fans gave the loudest cheers.

"Marlon!"

"little Giant!"

Malone also heard his name and saw many fans wearing his No. 11 jersey.

There were quite a few people holding up banners, but they had everything on them.

There are the most banners with his name written on it.

And 'Little Giant' and '40+20' and so on.

Although not so uniform and scattered, but the number is considerable.

Malone felt his stamp on the city.

He believes this is just the beginning.

In the future, he will step by step and completely transform Portland into his shape.

For the fans who support me, and for the face of Flying Pig, I will fight tonight!

Ma Long looked at the opposite Suns who were warming up, and saw the fat man with a particularly conspicuous butt at first sight.

Malone is straight up a good guy.

This ass, if Harden sees it, it won't go directly to heaven!

But excluding ridicule, Barkley is not as fat as Malone's impression.

He's not as skinny as he looked on tape last season.

During the 76ers, Barkley's weight has been maintained at about 280 pounds, which is about 127kg.

The peak weight even reached above 135kg.

Later, because of a knee injury, he was traded to the Suns and began to lose weight. The Barcelona Olympics claimed to be 114kg.

But looking at it now, Malone is definitely more than that!

This guy is notoriously lazy and uncontrollable.

This includes not being able to control your mouth, and it also includes being outspoken.

Big mouths and big butts are equally famous.

May be
Ma Long's heart moved, and when Buckley went to the technical table to apply chalk, he walked to his side.

As soon as the little giant came, because of the direction of the light, the shadow completely covered Barkley.

Fliggy glanced sideways and couldn't help but swear: "Great gift crab!"

Why is this rookie so tall?
Why are the arms so long?
It was just the preseason. Barkley didn't watch the video at all. His impression of Malone came from the newspaper.

Barkley thought that he had falsely reported his height, and Malone must be no exception.

I did it all, how could you not do it!

In the previous preseason game, a reporter set a trap for Malone beating Jordan.

Sir Ba is a man who has gone to college, of course he heard it, but he still made bold remarks in disapproval.

But now I can intuitively feel Malone's height and wingspan.

Thinking that the report said that Ma Long was a good shot.

Fliggy feels like he has been deceived by lard!

"Barkley."

At this time, Ma Long, who was wearing chalk, suddenly said, "Would you like to make a bet?"

"Bet? How to bet?"

Buckley, who was thinking about how to muddle through, subconsciously said.

"Didn't you say that if I can defend, I can't score 20 points?"

Malone: ​​"How about betting on this?"

Barkley said nothing.

Ma Long: "No way, no way, you are Barkley, don't you dare?"

He is usually not yin and yang.

But he was sprayed, and he is not allowed to fight back?
There are no dirty words in this.

But inexplicable is annoying.

"Don't be complacent, rookie!"

Barkley stepped up: "Just bet. How much is the dollar?"

"Just bet on kissing ass."

Malone: ​​"You say I can't. If I don't get 20 points in this game, Barkley, I'll kiss your ass to express my admiration for you. But if I get it, you can. Forget it, don't kiss me. I'm just a rookie. If I can't take it, how about kissing a donkey's ass?"

What the hell is this bet?

Are young people playing this big now?
Barkley's eyes widened.

He looked back at center John Williams, who was partnering with him in the post.

Height 211cm, weight 97kg
He raised his head again, and mentally calculated the height difference between himself and Ma Long.

After getting the answer of 30cm, Barkley said righteously: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at gambling."

"I have quit for many years. Everyone knows that I never bet with others. I suggest you don't bet with others. This is not a good habit."

Fliggy's earnest persuasion seems to be the embodiment of truth, kindness and beauty in the NBA.

Didn't it mean that Barkley was the toughest, so why are you scared now?

Looking at Barkley who turned away as if nothing had happened after persuasion, Malone felt relieved.

Barkley's heart is the best in the game, betting on this kind of thing, it is obvious that there is no chance of winning, and even giving away people's heads, those guys with underdeveloped brains will be fooled.

But still very angry!

Barkley, who didn't plan to play for a long time, approached the head coach.

So not long after, the two sides entered the field first, and there was an extra fat man next to Malone
Malone glanced at Barkley and didn't pay much attention.

He's not playing power forward.

The performance of the Clippers in the game proved that Malone's body can't bear it, and the coaching staff also increased his tasks.

However, Sabonis' knee still needs to rest, so this time Malone played the center position.

The Trail Blazers started this game: Rhodes, Aaron McGee, Harvey Grant, Clifford, Malone.

This lineup has a balanced offensive and defensive lineup, but the three-pointer is weaker. Only Clifford is more reliable, but at least there is a three-point shooter, not as good as the Rockets' shooters, but it is also ahead of many teams in this era.

Although Malone can also shoot three-pointers, he has not shot in the NBA, and it is impossible for him to get to the three-point line. His efficiency in the paint area is much higher than that of shooting three-pointers.

The starting lineup of the sun is: Kevin. Johnson, Michael. Finley, Wesley. LaVine, Barkley, John Williams.

Both inside and outside are fierce, and the core is Kevin Johnson and Barkley.

Barkley needless to say.

Kevin Johnson has been a top point guard with 20 points and 10 assists since the fourth grade. He was also the core of the Suns at that time. He was the second-ranked point guard in the league.

With a height of 185cm, he is a representative figure of point guard who breaks through the ball. He is a senior like Westbrook and Rose, nicknamed Black Lightning.

Later, although the injury weakened and Barkley divided the ball, he could still get 15+7.7 data last season.

Coupled with Barkley's threat on the offensive end, he is still a strong man.

Malone also knows that Michael Finley is also a great player for the Suns.

Although he is a rookie in the same year as him this year, he is already quite capable in immediate combat, with excellent perimeter defense and a three-pointer. He is a plug-and-play 3D striker.

The lineup is strong, but the problem is that the Suns' defense is so-so.

Last season's offensive ability was among the top five in the league.

The defense is also the top five in the league, but that is the bottom five.

Both the Clippers and Warriors are better defensively than the Suns, can you believe it? !

The Suns are a team with strong offense and weak defense.

It's not as offensive and defensive as the Blazers.

The Suns' offense may not be impossible for the Blazers to guard against.The Blazers' offense, but the Suns couldn't prevent it at all!
Game start.

In the jump ball competition, John Williams tried his best to take off and jumped high.

Ma Long didn't jump as high as him, but relying on his height and long arms, he took the ball to Rhodes first.

Facing Kevin Johnson, Rhodes suddenly became interested. He didn't wait for Malone to settle down, and directly showed a wave of breakthroughs.

Kevin Johnson relied on experience to follow closely.

Tangled all the way to the edge of the paint area, the amazingly fast Michael Finley rushed from the flank!
Faced with Michael Finley's pincer attack, Rhodes forced a jump and passed a ridiculously high ball to the bottom corner.

Mistake?
Do not!
A giant suddenly hit the bottom line, grabbing the high ball with one hand like the sun and the moon.

At this time Rhodes had already disrupted the Sun's defense.

Malone grabbed the ball and cut it in from the baseline.

Posted by John Williams.

Malone raised his hand to shoot.

After the cheating John Williams changed his center of gravity, Malone turned around and caught sight of Barkley from the corner of his eye.

He turned around again, and after forcing Barkley back with his big elbow, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it high to smash the dunk!

"After turning around twice, the two defended against the sun, and Ma Long dunked the ball in!"

The DJ shouted excitedly: "He seems to be dancing under the basket!"
