The second game of the series continues in Phoenix. Although the series has only been played for one game, the Suns are already in a desperate situation.

Because if they lose this game again and let the Bulls play three consecutive away games with a 2-0 lead, the situation will be quite unoptimistic.

This is probably the excitement of the finals. The series has been quite tense and exciting from the beginning...

Before today's game started, when Kenny Smith and Barkley were analyzing the game in the TNT studio, Kenny was very proud:

"It seems that the Suns are not suitable to meet the Bulls in the Finals.

You say so, Charles?

Twelve years ago, the Suns also won a devastating victory. They won 62 games in the regular season, ranking first in the league. They made it through the playoffs and seemed invincible.

As a result, when we got to the finals, we couldn’t do it anymore.

Who is the star player of which Suns team? Oh, it seems to be you, Charles!

Charles, although 12 years have passed, you should still remember these things, right?"

Buckley looked at the sinister Kenny Smith and really wanted to sit on his face until he didn't even recognize him!

Are you so happy just peeling off my scars? Apart from you, who else in the world can do such a heartless thing?

Shaq: Reveal Barkley’s scar? Add me!

Jordan: I want to participate too.

Well, it looks like uncovering Barkley's scars...that would be fun indeed!

"Only people like you who don't know how to make progress will look at things from the old perspective. Nowadays, the situation is completely different!

It’s been 12 years. In this era, even illustrators can write novels!

In this era, the dream team can only finish seventh in the Olympics!

Look, the situation is completely different from when I was 12 years old!"

Although Barkley is stubborn on the outside, he knows in his heart that it is not easy for the Suns to defeat the Bulls.

Judging from the results of the last game, the Bulls' defense really has no weaknesses.

The seven-second offense, the V-shaped pick-and-roll and Li Ang's one-star shooting, the Bulls defended clearly.

If the Suns continue to play the same way as before, they may not be able to win.

Today, because the Suns were in a last-ditch battle, when the Bulls players entered the stadium, all the fans at the scene booed violently.

Artest looked at the fans in the stands. Not only was he not afraid, he even smiled disdainfully.

With Li Ang, the best defender in the universe, here, no matter how much you boo, it can't change the fact that we are about to win the championship!

That's right, Artest already considers himself a champion.

During a routine interview at the end of training yesterday, Artest told reporters: "I'm going to release my new song on the day of the championship parade!"

The reporters were all stunned at the time. Damn it, you just won one game and you started thinking about the championship parade?

Artai is the kind of person who, after taking one look at the goddess, is already thinking about the names of their children.

Fortunately, Yao Ming suppressed Artest, otherwise he would not only start thinking about the championship, he might feel that he is already the Finals MVP.

Taizi was very confident now. When the players from both sides were getting ready to start the game, he even spat trash talk at Li Ang.

"You can't get 40 points on my head today, ah no, get 50 points! If you have the guts, just give it a try!"

Li Ang:......

Why don't you just say 100 points? I'm sure I won't get it.

Li Ang was too lazy to talk to this stupid guy, so he only replied: "You are still talking nonsense, so please save it!"

In the first round after the game started, Li Ang opened the scoring for the Suns with a drift jumper from mid-range.

The Suns did not play too complex offensive tactics today because they had to focus more on the defensive end.

Artest is angry, look at what you Li Ang means today, are you not going to give me the face of a Thai superstar?

Okay, don’t regret it!

After the Bulls counterattacked, Fan passed the ball to Artest.

Artest was originally just a transfer point. In the Bulls' tactical system, Artest's offensive position is very stable.

There is basically no chance for him to play singles.

But Artest, who just scored a goal, is so angry. I just don’t play alone for the team’s tactics. It’s not that I don’t have the ability. Don’t get me wrong!

Li Ang, you little scoring champion, how dare you try to do everything in front of me!

kill!

Artest also wanted to show off his offensive skills, so he did not pass the ball and prepared for singles.

You have your drift jump shot, I have my invincible step back!

Artest made two moves and then suddenly retreated and fired directly from outside the three-point line.

Although Artest has a streetball background and is quite good at arranging tricks, what should I say about his retreat?

Just like the Asian King of Yellow Chocolate, only he thinks he is handsome!

This step back is not a question of whether it is cool or not, but it is slow and not confusing.

Li Ang followed up with his hand and jumped slightly, and missed Artest's step-back jumper.

"Ah, this is a foul, the referee fouled him!" Artest spread his hands and yelled after being covered, but the referee just looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.

Li Ang is about to touch you, and you can be forgiven for shouting a foul.

Damn it, Li Ang didn’t even touch your hair, you’re calling me hair!

Even the Suns fans felt embarrassed for Artest, and there was a bit of shame in the embarrassment.

The team actually lost to such a mentally retarded child in the last game...this...bah!

After blocking Artest's shot, Li Ang immediately took the ball and passed it to Nash, who had already run to the frontcourt.

Nash broke into the penalty area and was chased by Milicic for a layup and a counterattack!

This is one of the few counterattacks since the Suns and Bulls met!

"Fuck!" Artest cursed secretly, Li Ang was so lucky.

It actually blocked my invincible step-back jump shot.

No, I have to do it again!

At this time, Artest saw Yao Ming walking towards him and raised his hand.

He thought that Yao Ming was coming to give him a high-five and encourage him, so he also raised his hand.

As a result, Yao Ming ignored Artest's raised hand at all, and just like Mei Ya hitting Xiaoxin, he punched Artest's Tian Ling Gai directly: "If you hit me like this again, I promise to let you know what you are doing."

the taste of!"

Artest swallowed: "Hey, Brother Yao, you really know how to joke. Where did I get my brain from? No need, Brother Yao, no need."

Artest gave the Suns a big gift as soon as he came on, but after that, don't tell me, Artest really didn't make any more mistakes.

A guy like Artest needs a teammate who can suppress him.

In the original history, Artest was in the Pacers, and his ability was actually no problem, but because no one could suppress him, he often did some incredible things, which affected the game.

Later, during the Mosaic period, he finally matured mentally, but it was a pity that he had passed the peak of his personal ability.

Nowadays, Artest, who is still not mature enough, will have no problems with his performance if someone like Yao Ming is holding him down.

Yao Ming said, I actually don’t talk about those messy principles.

I am just like Li Ang, I just convince others with my virtue.

Yao Ming's wave of convincing people with virtue was able to control Artest, but he found that his offense was no longer easy today.

As soon as Yao Ming catches the ball today, he will be decisively double-teamed.

No matter how strong a star is, he will always be restricted if he is double-teamed.

Don't look at Jordan, Kobe, Li Ang, etc., there are often two people double-teaming the wide open space, and three people double-teaming are good opportunities.

But that's just a collection after all.

Just looking at the highlights, J.R can beat Jordan.

The fact is that Kobe, Jordan and Liang definitely play more easily and efficiently in one-on-one situations.

The same goes for Yao Ming. It doesn't mean that he will definitely not be able to score a goal when double-teamed.

But the efficiency of scoring goals is far less than that of challenging O'Neill in the low post.

But this was not the first time Yao Ming encountered a double-team. He handled it very calmly. When faced with a double-team, he repeatedly passed the ball to Milicic.

Milicic made two consecutive shots in the first two shots, which made Stoudemire a little shaken.

Damn it, it’s really impossible not to rush out!
