"Mero scored 4 points in a row, helping the Nuggets narrow the gap to within 5 points," said Kenny Smith.

"Merro's offensive feel seems to be found," Barkley said. "A super scorer will not be limited by defense. Many times, whether you can throw the ball into it depends entirely on your own feel."

"I feel like this game won't end easily," Reggie Miller said. "It seems that the two teams will have to play until the end to decide the outcome."

"The lineups of the two teams are always evenly matched," Barkley said. "The match between Li Rong and 'Melon', the match between Billups and Bibby, and Jefferson and Nene are all very interesting. Speaking of which, these two teams really have a lot of similarities."

"It's true," said Kenny Smith. "The Timberwolves have started playing fast-paced offensive basketball since Whitman was dismissed. This is very similar to the current digging team, but the two teams are not as good as the Golden State Warriors as they only know how to attack but not defend. This game is getting more and more exciting."

Li Rong was repeatedly forced to be beaten by Anthony on the offensive end, and the fighting spirit in his heart also came up.

After getting the ball, Li Rong began to command his teammates to pull them away. He wanted to fight Anthony with one-on-one challenge.

Li Rong, who held the ball from outside the three-point line, did not choose to play back from a high position. With Anthony's body, it would be very difficult to rely on strength to eat him.

He chose to break through the face frame after changing direction in this ball. Although Li Rong's speed is not advantageous, his ball control ability has increased rapidly.

He knew that he did not have an advantage in speed. If he wanted to break through Anthony's defense one-on-one, he had to work hard on rhythm changes.

He first pretended to shoot for this ball, and then chose to break through to the right.

As soon as Anthony's center of gravity moved to the left, Li Rong immediately took the ball back and changed direction significantly to go straight to the middle.

"Wow!"

Many people couldn't help but exclaim at Li Rong's change of direction after this fake move.

How did a big 6-foot-9-inch man do such a gorgeous dribble?

Speaking of which, there are more and more freaks in the league now. Kevin Durant, a rookie in the same class as Li Rong, is also the same No. 3 position of this style. It's really a monster!

After Li Rong changed direction and passed Anthony, he immediately slowed down and leaned on the "melon" behind the side and back.

Seeing this, Kenyon Martin hurriedly returned to the inside, but unfortunately he was still one step late. Li Rong's basket in the air passed by the end of his fingertips and easily fell into the Nets.

"Beautiful!" Barkley exclaimed, "Incredible goal, in order to avoid the block, Li obviously chose to take action in advance. The shot point at that time was still a little far from the basket, but he still relied on his soft touch to pull the ball in."

"Lee's breakthrough number has increased significantly this season," said Kenny Smith. "He had few breakthroughs last season, and most of the scores came from back-to-back singles and outside shooting, but his breakthroughs this season were twice as many as last season. This number can already rank among the mid-level players among the No. 3 players in the league. His progress this season is obvious to everyone."

"This guy always breaks people's understanding of him," Reggie Miller said. "I remember before the draft, people said he could only shoot and his physical confrontation was not good. As a result, Li Rong played an incredible performance in his rookie season. To this day, it's still hard to believe that a yellow man with very mediocre running and jumping skills like him would play like this."

“I think we’ve underestimated his potential,” Kenny Smith said. “If he keeps up with this pace of progress, maybe he can grow into a true all-time superstar.”

"Everyone who has come into contact with him knows it," said Barkley. "This kid is born with a leadership temperament. This is a necessary condition for becoming a superstar. But I think it's amazing to be able to be like this with his physical condition."

Although Barkley's words really praised Li Rong on the surface, Miller could not hear his implicit meaning.

"You mean that Lee has no potential to dig, right?" Miller asked immediately.

"I didn't say that," Barkley shrugged, "but this league is still the world of players like LeBron. Lee's physical fitness determines that he cannot reach that level."

After the "Donkey Butt" incident, Barkley had already decided to never say irresponsible words randomly.

But then again, isn’t it still considered Sir Ba Jue if he is not slapped in the face?

Of course, Barkley himself admitted privately that the bold words he said were just to attract attention.

Miller obviously didn't want to let him go so easily: "Charles, do you dare to make a bet?"

"What bet?" Barkley asked back.

"You just said that Lee could not reach LeBron's level? Then let's bet on whether he can enter the All-Squad this year?" Miller said. "If Lee can enter the All-Squad, it will at least show that he is one of the 15 best stars in the league."

"What are you going to bet on?" Kenny Smith was obviously interested in the bet.

"Huh?" Miller thought for a while, "If Charles loses, then he will be punished to wear Li Rong's jersey on the last show. If I lose..." Miller gritted his teeth, "I will wear Michael's jersey on the last show."

Everyone knows the grudge between Miller and Jordan. In order to support Li Rong, Miller did not expect that Miller had such a large amount of capital.

"Okay!" Barkley agreed very happily.

My loss was just to wear Li Rong's Timberwolves No. 12 jersey once, which was nothing to Barkley, who had always had a thicker face than the city wall.

But Miller and Jordan are old enemies. If Miller loses, there will be some.

Barkley has already thought about it and will definitely send a photo of Miller wearing Jordan's No. 23 jersey to Jordan himself.

The three of them talked about the bet, and there was no commentary on the situation on the field.

As expected, the two teams became more and more anxious as they played, and they never opened up too much of the score difference.

Anthony and Li Rong each won most of the team's scores in the second half of the quarter.

Since Anthony scored 4 points in a row, his hand suddenly felt like the water flowing that opened the floodgates and began to score points for the team continuously.

Li Rong was not inferior to him and immediately stood up to respond to his opponent.

In the second quarter, Anthony made 4 of 9 in a single quarter and scored 12 points in a single quarter.

Li Rong's score also reached 14 points because of those two consecutive three-pointers.
