"Charles, why do I look at you with a bad face?"

When the game between the Heat and the Spurs ended the first half with a score of 56 to 48, Reggie Miller in the commentary began to tease Charles Barkley who was sitting next to him. In the first half of the game, they played very well. From the players on the court to the coaches on the sidelines, they all showed a very high level. Therefore, after halftime, Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith always had an unsatisfactory and excited expression, but Barkley was the only one whose expression was very ugly now, as if he had eaten a fly.

It is well known that Barkley is not optimistic about Meng Xu's comeback. He even made a bet with Reggie Miller on how many points Meng Xu could score today in the first quarter of the game. Originally, according to Barkley's expectation, for an "old guy" like Meng Xu who has been out of battle for a long time, under the key care of the Heat, scoring 20 points in the whole game is already a remarkable achievement. In the first game back after 19, he only scored 28 points, and his field goal percentage was only 7 of [-], because whether it was Jordan or Meng Xu, after being absent for too long After the professional game, they need to find the rhythm of the game in the first few games after their comeback. No matter how good they are in training when they retire, their state after their comeback is also the same as when they first came back. The rookies when they entered the league were almost the same, which is one of the reasons why Barkley dared to bet with Reggie Miller.

However, in today's game, Meng Xu found his own game rhythm without any adaptation. At the end of the first half, Meng Xu made 14 of 8 shots, scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 The data of assists, there is still half time before the end of the game. For players of Meng Xu's level, once they find their own rhythm of the game, let alone 8 points, it is 18 points. It was not a difficult task, so when he thought of the consequences of losing this bet, Barkley's face became more and more ugly.

"The game is not over yet, and everything is still unknown. A player's touch can't keep getting worse, and it won't keep getting better." It's not Barkley's style to surrender, so after hearing Reggie Miller's teasing , Barkley is still full of confidence, and seems to be very confident in the bet between himself and Reggie Miller. After all, the game is not over yet, and everything is not settled.

"Charles, I recently used a facial mask, and it works very well. Would you like me to recommend it to you?" Looking at the stubborn Buckley, Reggie Miller did not continue to argue with him, but said that he would introduce A mask for him.

"What?" Hearing Reggie Miller said that he would introduce a mask to himself, Barkley was also at a loss. Did this guy take the wrong medicine?According to previous scripts, shouldn't Reggie Miller compete with himself to blush and have a thick neck?Why did this guy suddenly turn a corner? For a moment, Barkley felt that his brain was not enough.

When Barkley was confused, Kenny Smith on the side looked at Reggie Miller inexplicably. Didn't you just read the lines full of gunpowder, why did you reconcile in a blink of an eye?This change is too fast, right?

"Oh, Charles, it's like this." Looking at the bewildered faces of Barkley and Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller pretended to be deep and said: "I think you have a little more cuticles on your face recently. So I want to recommend a mask for you to use, I tried it, and it works very well."

"Huh? Hahahaha..." Kenny Smith, who didn't realize it until Reggie Miller had finished speaking, burst out laughing. This is not an introduction mask, Reggie Miller. Also too bad.

"Reggie, I can finally understand now why Michael wanted to beat you. I can't help but want to beat you now." After Kenny Smith burst out laughing, Barkley, who also reacted, looked Looking at Reggie Miller's cheap expression, he can finally understand how Jordan, who has a super high level of trash talk, fell into Reggie Miller's hands.

Hearing Barkley mention Jordan, Reggie Miller not only did not have the slightest unhappiness, but also smiled very freely, as if he had thrown all the unhappiness and grievances out of the sky.

A championship can sublimate a person's temperament. Reggie Miller didn't believe it before, but after winning the championship, Reggie Miller believed it. With Reggie Miller wearing three championship rings, and then his ambition Retiring contentedly, Reggie Miller gave up all the unhappiness in his entire career. No matter how old and indifferent his enemy was, Reggie Miller can take it lightly, just like Larry- As Bird said, a champion should have the temperament of a champion.

While the commentary booth was still full of cheerful atmosphere, players from both sides who returned to the locker room to rest during the intermission also began to walk out of the player channel one after another. After failing to contain the momentum of the Spurs, Eric Spoelstra simply took the slant forward, replaced Chris Bosh after the start of the third quarter, and replaced Udonis Hassler. Mu topped the 5th position, ready to send a small lineup to press the Spurs all over the court.

"Full-court pressing?" After seeing the Heat's lineup, Reggie Miller was also taken aback. Although the Heat lacked the basket-protecting inside line, the focus of defense has always been the outside line, and even when the game is anxious. Full-court press, but playing full-court press against the Spurs is somewhat reckless.

To put it bluntly, the full-court press is to use one-on-one man-to-man defense to conduct a full-time oppressive close-fitting defense against the opponent's player with the ball, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying the opponent's attack and even forcing the opponent to make mistakes. This is a requirement. Very low, but very demanding defensive tactics. It is also a defensive tactic with an extremely low lower limit but a very high upper limit. Jordan's Bulls and Meng Xu's Pacers are both experts in full-court pressing , the Pacers led by Meng Xu have defeated countless teams with full-court pressing, so when the Heat used full-court pressing tactics against the Spurs, Reggie Miller showed an incredible expression, Carrying out a full-court press is equivalent to playing a fadeaway jumper in front of Jordan. Isn't this clearly a trick?
"It's kind of interesting." Contrary to Reggie Miller, Barkley is full of interest in the Heat's full-court pressing. Maybe the Heat can really make Meng Xu scoreless in a single quarter through the full-court pressing. By the way, they can reverse the Spurs in one fell swoop. Woolen cloth.

The Heat's full-court press on the Spurs after the opening still had some effect. After Battier hit a three-pointer, Dwyane Wade immediately posted the Spurs point guard Tony Parker in the backcourt. After Parker tried many times in a row, he failed to get rid of Wade's defense. Finally, under the cover of Duncan who served the baseline ball, Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt before the violation.
