The ball happened to be dead at this time, so Barkley was replaced and went directly back to the locker room.

On the sidelines, Oakley sprayed a hemostatic agent into his nose, but he couldn't stop it. A large ball of hemostatic cotton was inserted into his nose, and he could only open his mouth to breathe.

"The cartilage is broken and the nose is crooked. Bear with it and I will correct it for you," the team doctor said.

"Do it, hurry up, I'm going to go up and kill that kid." Oakley said angrily.

The team doctor took over, pinched his nose, twisted it, and straightened Oakley's crooked nose with a click.

"Give him a mask."

The team doctor turned around and shouted to his assistant, then stuffed a few large balls of hemostatic cotton onto Oakley's broken tooth, which was still bleeding.

However, there is not much time left in the game. Once Oakley recovers from his injury, the second quarter will be over.

At 54:50, the Suns ended the first half with a 4-point lead.

Later, Wang Tiejun missed a shot. He made 2 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws in this quarter. He scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 foul.

The opponent Ewing made 3 of 5 shots, which was very efficient. In addition, he made 1 of 2 free throws and also scored 7 points and 2 rebounds.

"Charles, how are you?" Wang Tiejun shouted as he pushed open the door of the locker room.

"It's not a big problem. Andrew and Aaron both said it would be best to take a break, but I don't think it's necessary."

Barkley was soaking in an ice bucket when his left ankle sprained. Fortunately, there was no redness or swelling, only a little pain. For safety reasons, he couldn’t play this game. He said with some frustration: “I can actually continue playing, but they won’t let me.

You guys should support me first in this game."

"Damn it, I should have crippled Oakley with just one elbow." Lao Wang regretted.

"Forget it, don't make it a big deal. After all, we are just playing ball, and I did it myself." Barkley said calmly.

"How did you do it yourself? Wasn't it Oakley?" Kevin Johnson asked doubtfully.

"I just pretended that my foot slipped in order to squeeze Oakley, but I didn't expect it to sprain." Barkley said with a wry smile.

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Lao Wang advised earnestly: "Charles, brother, I think you are still suitable to be a good person. If you are a bad person, your retribution will be too quick."

"Pfft, haha..." The locker room immediately burst into laughter.

Barkley punched Lao Wang and said with a smile: "I'm not here, Lao K, so I'll leave the inside line to you."

"Don't worry, Charles, for your rest, leave it to me on the inside and Kevin and Dan on the outside. We'll be fine."

Lao Wang patted his chest and assured.

"I'm just afraid that you will be blown to pieces by Ewing." Barkley muttered.

Lao Wang shouted: "Then if I strengthen the confrontation, his efficiency will definitely decrease. I will fight hard in this battle."

This is actually nonsense. Now he has a very heavy offensive task on the offensive end. It was not just the defensive task when he first played against O'Neal, so he can defend with all his strength and consume O'Neal's physical energy, thus reducing his efficiency. Now his physical ability

Most of them are used for offense, and it is impossible to achieve that kind of defensive effect.

…

In the home team's locker room, Oakley was lying on the massage table. He was punched by Lao Wang. Not only was his nose broken, his teeth knocked out, and his head was also a little dizzy.

"Charles, are you okay?" Ewing asked from the side.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Oakley waved his hand and suddenly said harshly: "In the second half, we are going to teach that kid a lesson and let him know that we are not easy to mess with."

His voice was unclear, but his tone was fierce and chilling.

"Barkley may not be able to play, but we have a chance to win," Ewing said.

"If Barkley can't fight, let's work together to kill that kid." Oakley said fiercely.

Ewing hesitated and said: "Double-team him?"

He didn't want to double-team. As one of the top three super centers, double-teaming a rookie would embarrass him.

You must know that Dameng and Robinson would rather let Lao K blow 2010 on his head than double-team him. If he double-teams, he will definitely be laughed at.

"Don't hesitate, Patrick, we have to teach that boy a lesson and make him afraid when he sees us." Oakley sat up, stared at Ewing and shouted in a deep voice.

Ewing was silent for a moment and nodded.

At this time, Pat Riley said: "Patrick, Charles, I don't care what you want to do, just give me control on the court. What I want is victory."

Ewing and Oakley looked at each other, then looked at Riley's gloomy and stern face, and both nodded involuntarily.

After a fifteen-minute break, the third quarter begins.

The two teams met in the tunnel, both staring at each other. If the two teams hadn't been separated by the middle, they would have rushed to fight.

The Suns attack first.

For the first goal, Dan Marley missed a pull-up jumper on the right wing. Oakley grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Knicks attacked.

Oakley singled on Jarrod Mustaf in the right post.

Barkley couldn't play, so the power forward was replaced by Jerrold Mustaf, who had little strength. He wanted offense but not offense, defense but not defense, and rebounds but not rebounds. In the past, he could only get a little bit of playing time in garbage time.

Time, now he is in the main position, facing off against Oakley, he can't adapt at all, and he was opened up by Oakley's elbow.

"Whoa!"

Like a postman, he relied on his elbow to win the shot, and Oakley hit a shot.

Although he is strong defensively, he has no low-post singles ability on the offensive end. He mostly pulls out for jump shots, mainly mid-range and long-range shots. However, the opponent is too weak, so this shot is quite easy.

54:52, Suns attack.

Wang Tiejun positioned himself in the low post on the left wing and passed the ball from the top of the arc.

Oakley on the weak side let Jarrod Mustaf take two steps from the beginning. At this time, he quickly helped defend the strong side. By the time Wang Tiejun received the ball, he was already in place to help defend and double-team from a position close to the baseline.

success.

Wang Tiejun held Ewing on his left elbow, raised his right hand high, and with Oakley behind him, the passing space to the weak side was blocked.

But at this time, he didn't care at all and didn't give Ewing and Ewing a chance to grab the ball. After catching the ball, he jumped up on one foot and hooked his right hand towards the basket. The ball flew towards the basket in a parabola.

Ewing jumped a little, and the height difference in blocking the shot was too big, and he didn't even hit a hair.

Oakley, who was behind, elbowed Lao Wang on the back, but it was a little late. When the elbow hit, Lao Wang's ball had already been released.

"Bao Pingzhong takes a shot, can he hit it?"

Colangelo on the sidelines, coach Westphal, and Barkley in the locker room were all staring at the ball flying towards the basket at this moment.

"Whoa!"

Amidst the refreshing sound of the basket being brushed, the Suns' bench was filled with excitement.

"Awesome!" Barkley cheered in the locker room.

It is rare for Wang Tiejun to shoot from a double team at close range, which means that he will have a greater threat in the low post.

Wang Tiejun clenched his fists excitedly and ran towards the backcourt.

The Knicks attacked, and Ewing caught the ball and played from behind, forcing him to slip to the bottom. This time, Wang reacted quickly and retreated in time. The former could only force a shot and missed.

Oakley grabbed the rebound, adjusted his feet, and then went for a layup.

Lao Wang rushed forward, flew forward and slapped him down.

"Crack!"

With a bloody hat, the ball was kicked out of the field, and his hand hit Oakley in the face. The transparent mask on the latter's face was knocked off, and he was knocked to the ground.

"Damn it!"

Ewing, who was behind him, cursed angrily and was about to charge forward, but was blocked by the linesman below.

Oakley was stunned from the fall and was about to get up to fight when the referee rushed up and blocked him.

"Don't move around. If you dare to cause trouble, there will only be one end." The referee warned sternly.

"Fake Oil!"

Oakley stared at Lao Wang fiercely and cursed.

"Fake, your ancestor! The rubbish behind your back!" Lao Wang spat back.

Oakley was shaking with anger. Damn it, I didn't use any force on that elbow from behind just now.

He wanted to take action at all costs, but head coach Pat Riley wanted to win the game, so he didn't dare to do anything reckless. He could only hold back for a while and then take action after the game.

The game continued, the Knicks served from the frontcourt sideline, and there were 6 seconds left in the attack time.

On the right wing, John Starks took advantage of Oakley's pick-and-roll to take a three-pointer, but failed to hit. Wang Tiejun stuck Ewing outside and protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

"Kevin!"

In the absence of Barkley, Wang Tiejun took up the offensive banner of the low post without hesitation. As soon as he reached the low post on the left wing, he directly asked for the ball at the top of the key.
