Chapter 277: TNT (5/5)
"I'm going to race, and my dad is still watching me from the sky; I'm going to train, and my dad is still watching me from the sky; I'm going to win the championship, and my dad is still watching me from heaven; I know he's been watching me, he's taught me to play, and he loves watching me play. ”
Leonard's words are still ringing in his ears, and on a special day like Father's Day, he also showed his best performance.
On defense, Tang Tian gave him a lot of encouragement, but the offense was played by himself.
Maybe his father in the dark, as Tang Tian said, watched from the sky, and then gave him a touch.
"Thank you, Don."
Leonard's eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Tang Tian.
Perhaps because he has the same facial expression as Duncan, it will make others think that his heart is extremely strong.
But he's actually just a rookie, and he actually needs encouragement.
Tang Tian was really like his friend, brother, and mentor to him.
2 to 0.
The Spurs held on to two home courts, and the Heat failed to steal a win in the first two games.
This is unexpected for most people.
After all, the Heat are so much stronger on paper than the Spurs look, and James and Wade are also in their prime.
Such a result naturally attracted Barkley's complaints.
In the latest episode of TNT, this became almost the only topic of discussion among the Big Three.
"Shaq, where did you say Duncan was young?"
Barkley struggled to hold back a laugh.
"'07."
O'Neill knew that Barkley was asking what he had said during the commentary.
"Yes, in '07, LeBron led his Cavaliers and Spurs in four games, and was swept out 0-4, and now five years have passed, and LeBron's team is once again 0-2 down to the same opponent."
After Barkley finished speaking, both O'Neill and Smith couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When O'Neal explained, it was all a small fight, and Barkley was really black.
"Guys, do you guys think the Heat are going to be swept out? Will they? Barkley continued.
"I don't think so, this Heat team is much stronger than that Cavaliers, and the Spurs are weaker than that Spurs." Kenny Smith shook his head.
"No, the next game should be won by the Heat, Miami's playoff home game is very frenetic." O'Neill spoke.
He won the only championship in franchise history with Wade with Wade, and it was a very familiar place for him.
"yes, I remember, you've been teammates with LeBron and you've played in Miami for that long, do you really think they're going to win the next game?"
Barkley said, looking at O'Neill.
"yes, Charles, if you've played in Miami, you don't just focus on the sexy chicks on the beach."
O'Neill's words were also full of humor, and he also hacked Barkley by the way.
Smith on the side couldn't stop laughing, and after O'Neill integrated into the commentary, he was working with the two big living treasures every day.
"Okay, how about we make a bet?"
Barkley hurriedly changed the subject.
O'Neill made a gesture of please, he wasn't afraid to bet on such a thing.
And he knew very well that Barkley was bound to lose every gamble.
"So, you think the Heat will win the next game, and I think they will lose."
Barkley said, and O'Neill nodded.
"Then our bet is that the loser will give Kenny a princess hug in the live broadcast room." Barkley continued.
After Barkley finished speaking, O'Neill couldn't help but laugh.
Smith looked at Barkley with a bewildered expression.
Why did Barkley's bet with O'Neal involve him?
"Don't look like that, Kenny, you owe me, Godfather." Barkley said naturally.
He was referring to the fact that Smith and Tang Tian went to film the godfather together last offseason, but deliberately lied to him that he didn't know.
"Okay, okay."
Smith also recognized this when he heard this, and it was just a princess hug, which was much better than when Barkley kissed his ass.
This episode of TNT was very entertaining, and after it was broadcast, it also attracted a wave of heated discussions among fans on social media.
"I think it's a good bet, Smith is really petite compared to O'Neill and Barkley."
"Man, the way you speak is dangerous!"
"Isn't it the next game that we should be focusing on more than that? If the Heat lose again, they'll be down 3-0. ”
"Yes, there's never been a team in NBA history that has come back from 3-0 down, so this is actually the Heat's last chance."
……
The day before the game, the Spurs arrived in Miami.
Because the only regular season meeting was on the Spurs' home court, this is the first time the Spurs have played on the road in Miami this season.
Miami is one of the most well-known tourist cities in the country, especially now that June, there are already many bikini beauties on the beach.
As O'Neill joked on the show, these eye-catching beauties are the unique scenery of Miami.
And in addition to the beach, the nightclubs here are also famous throughout the United States.
If Klay Thompson or James Harden were here, it would be easy to lose yourself here.
But fortunately, an older team like the Spurs doesn't have a nightclub culture.
The first thing they did when they arrived in Miami was neither to the beach nor to the nightclubs, but to go straight to the gym to start training.
Although they lead 2-0, the Heat will definitely fight back against the road.
The intensity of the third game will probably be as intense as the tie-break.
The Spurs take it seriously, and the Heat on the other side take it even more.
If they lose this game, they will really step off the cliff with half a foot, and only by winning will they have a chance to talk about the possibility of a comeback.
After the Heat's practice, James was interviewed by the media on the court.
"LeBron, what do you think of the bet on the latest episode of TNT?"
"What?"
James looked at the reporter suspiciously, he didn't know about it.
His words, once in the playoffs, will turn off all social media and focus all on the game.
The reporter briefly described the content of the program.
"I don't care about that, it's just a show, they're going to need some gimmicks, that's not a problem at all for me."
James said unconcernedly.
"We know you've been in this situation since '07, do you think there's any difference between this time and then?"
The reporter's subsequent question made James's expression change significantly.
The incident of 07 is a very bad memory for him, this reporter, really which pot is not opened.
