"That fat guy likes to talk big. When I was 37 years old, I met him in the playoffs and averaged 24 points and 14 rebounds per game on his head."

"Yao Ming is certainly much better than when I was 37 years old. I have a feeling that Yao Ming can at least score 60 points and 30 rebounds on that fat man tonight."

Barkley couldn't beat Malone in his career, but he had almost no disadvantage against O'Neal.

In 1999, he was with the Rockets and met the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.

Although the Rockets were eliminated by the Lakers 3:1 in the end, Barkley's performance was amazing. At the age of 36, he averaged 24 points and 14 rebounds per game.

However, Dameng and Pippen were a bit behind.

Pippen had the highest shooting percentage in the team, with a shooting percentage of 32%. He performed an embarrassing performance of 0 for 7 and 6 for 23. Dream's shooting percentage was acceptable, averaging 42% per game, which is not particularly bad, but he averaged only

7 rebounds, which is actually the same as Kobe Bryant's rebounds. The old dream was beaten by the shark in his prime.

If these two people had fought normally, the one who had the last laugh might not have been Ao Pang.

Right now, the 76ers have a strong team. At least in Barkley's mind, they are much better than the Rockets in 1999. He doesn't take the Lakers seriously at all.

The game hasn't even started yet, but the two loudspeakers from both teams have already started talking.

"Would you like to say a few words? Call the fat man a call center?"

At the pre-game press conference, seeing how happy Barkley was, Kongbu asked Yao Ming next to him in a low voice in Mandarin.

"No, please, I can't scream."

"I'm not so worried about the fat man, but I'm worried about Ma Long."

"As the old saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. Malone has barely given interviews since he went to the Lakers. Who knows if he is holding back bad news."

Yao Ming also chatted with Kong Bu in Mandarin.

Anyway, when Barkley started talking, his mouth was like a repeater, and no one else could get in his way.

"Yes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, but you don't have to worry too much. He is a greasy and obscene person. He was banned by Stern for almost a whole season last time. This time he won't be too blatant."

"We just need to play our own ball well and be more careful on the court."

Kongbu said softly.

Yao Ming nodded. Since Kong Bu said it was okay, he was relieved.

He was elbowed by Artest before and felt uncomfortable for several days. This was just Artest's elbow, and it was not at the same level as Malone's elbow.

If he was elbowed by Ma Long, Yao Ming felt that he might have to be sent to the ICU like Dazhi.

…

By 7:30 p.m., players from both sides were warming up on the court.

Malone acted very calmly, showing that this was just an ordinary regular season game. Unfortunately, the glances he glanced at Kongbu from time to time still betrayed his true thoughts.

He hated Kongbu so much that he gritted his teeth with hatred. If killing was not illegal, he might actually shoot Kongbu with a gun.

In the previous finals, he was rushed onto the court by Kongbu and beaten to death.

Later, his home team, the Jazz, was blackmailed by Kong Bu.

Now that he has joined the Lakers, it doesn't matter whether he wins the championship or not. What he really wants is to prevent Kongbu from winning the championship.

"Phil, my old man."

"There shouldn't be any unpleasant conflicts on the field tonight, right?"

Kongbu approached the Zen master and asked with a smile on his face.

The corner of Zen Master's mouth twitched. How should he answer this kind of question? His control over the Lakers players is not that strong. Whether there will be conflicts on the court, he, as a coach, has no control at all.

"Kong, as long as you don't mess around, I think there won't be any conflict." The Zen master frowned and said.

"That's good, but don't blame me for not reminding you."

"If something happens to one of my players, even if I try not to make it to the playoffs this season, I will definitely drag you Lakers into trouble."

"Believe me, I have plenty of ways to make you Lakers miserable."

Kongbu's voice was not loud, but it made the hair on the Zen Master's back stand up.
