Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 202 Barkley above!

"Hi Su Wen, long time no see!"

"Charles, long time no see."

Before the game, the two sides came in to warm up. Su Wen and Barkley greeted each other warmly and hugged.

Buckley looked him up and down, the corners of his mouth twitching, and his eyes were quite complicated.

He and the other team were in the league with the fourth and fifth picks.

Then one went to the SuperSonics, which had been struggling for several years, and the other went to the defending champion 76ers.

Barkley, like Su Wen, is one of the contributors to the NCAA championship. Joining the 76ers who have the defending champion lineup should be a good reinforcement. He is a strong addition to the team and is the favorite to win the championship. He is not inferior to the Celtics at all. People and Lakers.

Who would have thought that instead of overcoming the Celtics and reaching the finals, Su Wen, who was too far away from the championship, led the SuperSonics to win the championship.

He won the championship first!

He said with a smile: "You are not lacking in confrontation. You have a physique and a tonnage. It is unnecessary to practice three-pointers when you have nothing to do."

"This is pussy behavior."

This three-point projection will naturally attract the attention of others and cause countless people to follow suit and imitate.

The two chatted for a while, and Barkley suddenly looked at Su Wen and said something incomprehensible, "Su, I practiced three-pointers in the summer."

And what about Michael Jordan?

I practiced for two months during the summer vacation. I was just about to show off my skills in the new season, but I got injured after playing only two and a half games. Now I am holding my breath and preparing for rehabilitation.

Su Wen's scoring ability is already very comprehensive. He can break out, shoot, attack the basket, make emergency stops and shoot three-pointers, and he is even more at home.

But after the hug, he slapped Su Wen hard, venting his frustration.

If you expand the defensive area, others can use their speed to break through you.

Seeing his disdainful look, Buckley raised his head and walked away proudly.

This all started because of Su Wen, and now this guy is actually saying that shooting three-pointers is a pussy thing.

Go to Nima!

In addition to Dr. J, those former scoring champions: English, Dantley, and Iceman. These people have more or less practiced three-pointers.

This is why people say that Su Wen used one-handed three-pointers to lift the team to the championship podium.

When he is old and weak and can no longer fly and escape, and rush in and out, shooting three-pointers is the most labor-saving method. It can give him more physical strength to continue playing and provide the team with a different kind of strength. Fire support.

Averaged five three-pointers per game, which translates to an average of 15 points per game.

Seeing Su Wen again at this time, he still couldn't feel relieved.

As long as outside players can shoot, they will start to show off their swords and shoot three-pointers in the new season.

Barkley himself couldn't accept it, so much so that he should have gone to Seattle to celebrate with Su Wen in the summer, but his proud self-esteem prevented him from doing so, and he stayed in Philadelphia to train hard.

Although their three-point shooting capacity is not that big, they still average more than three three-pointers per game.

Not only Barkley, but also their veteran superstar, the team's big brother Dr. J, also started practicing.

Even a guy like Bird Bird, who has developed a lot of proficiency, has almost doubled the number of three-pointers compared to last season.

Su Wen looked at him in surprise, "Why do you practice three-pointers as an insider?"

No one else, because Su Wen just used one unreasonable but extremely accurate three-pointer to push the Sonics into the finals and win the championship in one fell swoop.

Why can you shoot three-pointers but I can't?

Why is it a pussy for me to shoot a three-pointer, but not for you?

Double standards?

In fact, this summer, not only did he practice three-pointers, many shooters and star players in the league began to pay attention to the three-point line that had not been taken seriously for several years after entering the league.

Their attack range covers most of the field, what do you use to target?

His terrifying performance of averaging more than five three-pointers per game in the two-round series of the Western Conference Finals and the Finals, a total of fourteen games, has been noticed by others.

Starting from Su Wen, who used one shot to record three-pointers and led his team to win the championship, more and more people began to pay attention to it and discovered the benefits of three-pointers. A small three-point whirlwind set off within the league.

Without these 15 points, it can be said that the Sonics would have lost most of their victories, let alone the championship.

"You care about me? Humph!"

There were 20,000 spectators at the venue early.

The main reason is that with his precise three-pointers, Su Wen's offensive range expands infinitely, and the scoring area is extremely wide, making it difficult to defend in a targeted manner.

The person who was supposed to win the championship first failed in the Eastern Conference finals.

A person who is not optimistic about winning the championship and who is far away from reaching the top wins the championship in the first year.

It's simply a twist of fate.

If you shrink and only guard the inside, they can kill you with three-pointers.

And this is not the main reason that attracts others' attention.

It all started when he developed that three-pointer.

"Oh?"

In these fourteen games, Su Wen scored 15 points from beyond the three-point line alone, and these 15 points were the most important part of the Sonics' scoring in winning games.

If Bernard King hadn't been recovering from injury, he would have practiced long ago.

His offensive area is so wide that it gives countless people in the league headaches and makes those who defend him want to die and suffer.

Even the big brothers in the team have started practicing, so the young people will naturally follow his example.

Because it was against the league's number one and defending champion SuperSonics, this game attracted countless people's attention.

The game between the two sides began.

As the ball was immediately taken by McCormick, the Sonics' offense surged.

El Wood's first shot was a three-pointer.

Unfortunately, I felt a little cold at the beginning and couldn't make a shot.

But the rebound was grabbed by Chambers, and his backhand was given to Su Wen who was rushing forward.

Su Wen rushed to the basket, turned around and passed to Chambers in the bottom corner.

Chambers feinted a shot, tricking Barkley into jumping, then took two steps inside, pulled up and shot.

"Shh!"

Two points scored.

It was the 76ers' turn to attack.

Barkley held the ball inside, pretending to beat Chambers, and passed the ball to Dr. J who was rushing in.

As soon as Dr. J got the ball, Su Wen chased after him, stuck closely with him, and forced him to pass the ball.

The former passed and was given to point guard Maurice Cheeks.

The latter received the ball, got a cover from Barkley, and shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Unexpectedly, the first three-pointer turned out to be the 76ers.

Of course, it was just the opening three points and it would not affect the mentality of all Sonics players.

Su Wen continued to organize the attack. When he reached the 45-degree angle, Barkley stepped forward to delay the attack.

But the former took advantage of the moment when he was on top, passed in, and passed it to Chambers who followed halfway down the road. The latter caught the ball, turned around, aimed at the basket, and then shot.

"Shh!"

It doesn't matter if they don't make a three-pointer, they can make two consecutive mid-range shots.

And it was created by Chambers who didn't practice three-pointers.

Cheeks also wanted to score a three-pointer, but having learned from past mistakes, Davis defended him very tightly and did not give him a chance to take the shot.

The basketball came to Moses Malone.

Malone swung from side to side, trying to get past McCormick's defensive focus.

But the latter remained unmoved and kept standing behind him.

Malone was too lazy to continue making fake moves and turned around to attack the frame.

Unexpectedly, Wood suddenly rushed up, caught him, and when he was holding the basketball high for a layup, he slapped the basketball away. The basketball rolled out of bounds in an instant.

The 76ers restarted the ball and passed it to Barkley, who turned around and passed it to Cheeks outside. After the latter received the ball, before Davis could reach him, he shot a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The shot failed to go in. Chambers grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

He crossed the court and sent the basketball to Wood, who was about to leave. The latter caught the ball and immediately passed it to Su Wen. After Su Wen rushed to the angle, he picked it up and shot.

"Shh!"

It's three points!

Su Wen hit the SuperSonics' first three-pointer tonight, finally proving that he was the three-point champion in the playoffs last season.

Seeing the three-pointer, Barkley's hands were itchy. In the next two minutes of game time, he also tried one but failed to make it.

Because he was in the bottom corner, he failed to return to the basket immediately to grab the rebound, and the basketball was easily confiscated by Chambers.

Then, Barkley continued to come, constantly trying three-pointers in the first quarter.

But his touch was extremely poor, and the next three shots he took were all deflected, and the last one went over the bridge and hit the air.

In the first quarter, he made 4 of 0 three-pointers without scoring a single point, and sat down happily.

What greeted him was the murderous look in his head coach Matt Guokas's eyes.

Are you getting high?

So many times when you can't make a shot?

Guokas was dissatisfied with his behavior of wasting offensive opportunities.

However, Barkley is that kind of player.

Once you're on top, it doesn't matter how much you do, just wait until you're happy.

At this time, the SuperSonics already led them by 35 points at 23:12.

And Su Wen, although he didn't score many points, only 12 points, he still made two three-pointers. He was so greedy that he wanted to go up and shoot five, six, seven or eight right away.

Returning in the second quarter, Cheeks hit another three-pointer with his first shot.

Watching the basketball draw a wonderful arc and plunge into the basket, Barkley's hands became even more itchy.

After the Sonics responded with a two-point shot, the basketball came to him.

He first held the ball with his back to Chambers, preparing to hit the opponent hard. Then when the opponent resisted frequently, he retreated while hitting, and quickly retreated to the bottom corner.

It's now!

Seeing that he had reached the bottom corner, Barkley turned around and shot a three-pointer, regardless of the fact that Chambers was already attached to him, completely blocking his shooting vision.

"Shh!"

Surprisingly, he made the shot.

With no vision at all, he just threw the ball into the basket. Even Chambers was stunned for a while.

Finally made it.

Buckley glanced at him lightly, grinned, and retreated as he smiled, looking enigmatic.

However, as soon as he fell to the defensive end, Wood responded with a three-pointer, which immediately put a smile on his face.

He came back and wanted to do the same, taking Chambers to the outside to shoot a three-pointer.

But this time, Chambers refused to give him any shots. He stayed close to him, constantly disturbing him up and down, forcing him to pass the ball.

The basketball returned to the hands of Malone inside. The latter got the ball without saying a word and beat McCormick, but due to the opponent's desperate confrontation, the basketball shot was missed.

The rebound was grabbed by Chambers who returned to the basket and threw it to Su Wen.

This was already the fifth rebound he grabbed tonight, and it only came two minutes before the second quarter.

Because of Barkley's many three-point shot selections, he rebounded extremely easily tonight.

Su Wen quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. At the top of the arc, he made a pretentious three-point shot. After deceiving Dr. J, he jumped in.

He was extremely fast. As soon as Dr. J landed, he had already rushed to the free throw line and then shot.

"Shh!"

Two points scored.

As he returned to the defensive end, he smiled at Barkley and said, "Charles, don't shoot three-pointers."

“We played well tonight and it wasn’t challenging.”

"Humph!"

Barkley thought he was mocking his shooting percentage and didn't take it seriously at all.

The more he tried to persuade him, the more Buckley acted against him.

Returning to the offensive end, after receiving the ball, he followed the screen of his teammates and went to the bottom corner again, and made another three-pointer.

However, his touch tonight was not enough to support his endless shots. The basketball hit the basket again and was easily confiscated by Chambers again.

F@#￥!

Guokas couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to the referee to make a substitution. Barkley, who was careless and easy to get into trouble, was successfully replaced.

"Calm down!"

When Barkley sat back on the bench, Guokas boasted and stared.

As for whether the other party listened, he didn't care at all. He turned around and looked back into the field.

After Barkley sat down, he listened to the coach's words, but he mainly looked at his shooting hand and palm, feeling a little confused.

what happened?

Why didn't the shot come in?

During the warm-up before the game, he made a lot of three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was quite impressive.

He couldn't figure out why he couldn't make a shot in the official game.

He seems to have forgotten that there is no comparison between an unguarded shot and a guarded shot.

By the time he returned to the court, the game had entered the last five minutes of the first half, and the Sonics were leading them by 64 points at 46:18.

It was impossible to guard against the Sonics' offense and the firepower couldn't match it. Guokas had to replace this guy again.

Back on the court, Barkley finally stopped shooting three-pointers.

He also understood the current difficulties the team was encountering and began to play at the basket.

In the confrontation with Chambers, he swung his butt back, pushed back, and easily reached the basket in an instant.

"Shh!"

He hit a layup.

In the next round, after pulling Chambers out of the penalty area, he shot from mid-range and hit again.

Immediately afterwards, after receiving the ball inside, he turned around and slipped into the basket and made another layup.

In a series of attacks, he used his extraordinary physique to beat Chambers and score 10 points in a row.

However, it is a pity that while he was scoring, the team failed to defend the opponent. The SuperSonics responded with goal after goal. At the end of the first half, they were still 18 points behind.

In the second half, Barkley seemed to be persuaded by Guokas. He no longer insisted on three-pointers and frequently caused damage under the basket.

However, at this time, the team could not control the opponent's offense at all, and its defense was beaten to pieces. In the end, they had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat with 104:120, a 16-point gap.

On this night, Barkley's performance was outstanding. He made 23 of 12 shots from the field, 8 of 6 free throws, and scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks. He was the highest scorer on the team.

But just looking at his technical statistics, you will see how eye-catching his 8-of-1 three-pointers are.

The guy tried a three-pointer all night and only made one.

In this way, after the SuperSonics won this victory, they came to the Milwaukee Bucks with a terrifying record of 22 wins and 1 loss.

Their road trip to the East continues.
