The Suns double-teamed, and with Barkley's assistance, Robinson failed to hit a probing jump shot. The rebound was grabbed by Ceballos. The Suns attacked with 3 seconds left.
After the ball was served, the Suns called the last timeout. After arranging tactics, they served from the frontcourt with 2.8 seconds left.
Barkley caught the ball on the right wing, humped defender Sean Elliott with his big butt, and then turned over and shot a jumper.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the basket, bounced up, and then fell to the basket. Just as time ran out, he made a buzzer-beating shot.
"yeah!"
Buckley himself jumped with excitement.
The Suns' bench was also in a state of excitement.
"Damn it!"
After a blast throughout the game, he lost the game in the end. David Robinson, who scored 46 points in the game, cursed inwardly in frustration.
"Brother, you are too strong!"
Comrade Lao Wang rushed onto the court and picked up Barkley on his back.
Barkley scored 41 points and 15 rebounds in this game. He took great credit and was worthy of his superstar status.
Judging from this game, he is still far from Barkley's strength.
"Hey, Mr. Robinson, how many points did you get?"
When he saw David Robinson coming off the court, he immediately walked over quickly carrying Barkley on his shoulders.
"Old K, put me down quickly, you idiot." Buckley laughed and cursed.
"snort!"
Robinson, who failed to complete his 50-point goal, snorted coldly and walked past the two of them into the tunnel.
"Charles, this guy's defense is really strong! Much better than me." Looking at Robinson's back, Wang Tiejun sighed.
Barkley glanced at Robinson, who was about to disappear, and said thoughtfully: "This is also the first time I've seen him defend like that. Maybe you forced him to do it. But his defense is top-notch, not inferior to Da Meng."
, it’s natural that you didn’t get a good deal from him.”
"We have to deal with Jordan's Bulls when we go back, Charles, do you think we can win?" Wang Tiejun suddenly asked as the two walked to the bench.
The more he understands the NBA, the more he now understands the power of Michael Jordan.
This person he didn't know at all before, just those highlights and game videos can make him realize what it means to be powerful.
He also knew that Jordan had dunked on many centers, including Ewing and Robinson, and he didn't want that day to come.
"Of course, we must win." When it comes to Jordan, Barkley's psychology is very complicated.
As a rookie in the same year, Jordan has won two consecutive championships, scoring champion and MVP and many other hard honors. However, he has not won any hard honors, not once MVP, not once scoring champion, not once in the finals.
He didn't taste anything, he had nothing, and he was pushed further and further away from his friend Jordan.
However, he was traded to the Suns this season and had the opportunity to partner with a top point guard like Kevin Johnson and a strong shooting guard like Dan Marley. His pursuit of the championship became stronger again.
Back in the locker room, several of the Suns' main players were exhausted. This was a back-to-back game, which required a lot of physical energy.
Fortunately, we are still in the first half of the season, and our physical reserves are still sufficient, so they are not exhausted.
Moreover, they won the game, their spirits were quite exciting, and the atmosphere in the locker room was very good.
An hour after the game, Barkley and Dan Mulley went to the press conference, and the rest were interviewed by the media in the locker room.
"Old K, you were bombarded by the Admiral tonight. You only scored 14 points, while he scored 46 points. How does it feel to be beaten?" a reporter asked.
"I feel like the sky is bluer tonight. God looks good." Comrade Lao Wang looked up and said angrily.
"..."
The reporter was confused and glanced at the ceiling.
"fool."
Seeing the reporter's stupid look, Lao Wang secretly laughed.
Except for reporters in Arizona, he now doesn't like reporters from other places, because their media have always only reported negative news about him, and have only exaggerated his reputation as a violent person. They are all bastards who have no good intentions towards him.
.
The next morning, January 23, the Suns took a flight back to Phoenix.
Next, the Suns will face challenges from two Eastern Conference teams at home, facing the Bulls on the 24th and the Pistons on the 26th.
These two games were broadcast live across the United States and attracted a lot of attention.
At noon on this day, the Bulls' special plane arrived in Phoenix and met the returning Suns at the airport.
"Hey, Charles."
"Hey, Michael."
Barkley and Jordan hugged.
"Fat man, you came to the West and thought you could win the championship if you escaped my bulls? You still have to face me in the finals. You can't escape my Wuzhishan."
"Damn it, I was traded."
"Oh, I get it, you got old and couldn't fight anymore, and then you got dumped by Philadelphia."
"Oh, Michael, I want to kill you now."
After saying hello, Jordan and Barkley immediately started falling in love with each other.
Wang Tiejun stood behind Barkley and looked at Jordan curiously.
Of course Jordan noticed Wang Tiejun, but he didn't pay much attention and asked casually: "Country bumpkin, what are you looking at?"
Lao Wang was startled, "Gou Shi, did I provoke you?"
He didn't know that Jordan didn't like him because the Bulls wanted to sign him. At that time, he had no idea who Jordan was and didn't pay any attention to him.
He comes from the countryside and is a real country bumpkin. In Cangzhou and SJZ, many city people called him a country bumpkin, but this time it was different. This was in the United States. An American called him a country bumpkin. This was intolerable.
He immediately replied: "I'm looking at you stupid 13."
"This kid dares to scold me?"
Jordan was stunned and his mouth opened wide.
He likes anyone who praises him, and on the contrary, he will not hesitate to think of ways to teach the other person a lesson. This is his character, which is extremely domineering.
At this moment, he was furious, and his eyes began to look murderous as he stared at Wang Tiejun.
Just at this time, Bulls general manager Jerry Krause pushed his suitcase and walked to the side. He took a careful look at Wang Tiejun, smiled and stretched out his hand to greet: "Wang, let me meet you. I am Jerry Krause.
Someone who once wanted to give you a big contract."
Wang Tiejun was startled, and quickly held Klaus's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Klaus."
"Jerry, long time no see." Jerry Colangelo also arrived from behind and came over to say hello.
"Jerry, long time no see." The two have known each other for many years, Klaus greeted with a smile.
"Let's go."
Seeing Klaus coming over, Jordan snorted coldly and his expression became even worse. He nodded with Colangelo, glared at Wang Tiejun again, greeted his teammates behind him, and left with them.
Klaus shook his head helplessly, nodded to Colangelo, and followed him.
He has always had a headache about how to build a good relationship with Jordan. He will accommodate those who can accommodate him, but sometimes he has to offend Jordan for the sake of lineup construction.
To be honest, Jordan was good at playing basketball, but not at building a lineup.
