The NBA's Absolute Dominance

Chapter 174: Letting Barkley get the scraps is truly a sin!
"Tang, what do you think are the Heat's chances of advancing right now?" a reporter asked in the Heat's press room.

"I don't want to open the champagne halfway through, so, well, it'll be a little higher than yesterday, haha!" Tang Bei joked.

"Tang, what do you think are the Bulls' chances of advancing?" the reporter immediately asked again, changing his perspective.

Tang Bei immediately perked up and said with a smile, "This question has nothing to do with the Heat. I can answer you directly. I think their chances of advancing are no more than 10%."

"Ha ha……"

Except for the Chicago reporters, all the other reporters laughed.

"Tang, would you prefer to face the Rockets or the Jazz in the Finals?" the next reporter asked.

Tang Bei immediately said, "I think the Rockets have a better chance of making it to the Finals. Playing the strongest team in the Finals is more attractive to me, and I hope to face the Rockets."

"Aren't you afraid of losing?" the reporter asked.

Tang Bei shook his head and said, "This is only my second season, and our lineup isn't old. As long as we maintain this lineup, next season won't be worse than it is now, so I'm not afraid of losing."

The reporter pressed further, "If the Heat make it to the Finals and face the Rockets, do you think the Heat will lose more often than they win?"

Tang Bei immediately shook his head and said, "How could that be? Our strength is definitely much greater."

This remark caused trouble, and Olajuwon quickly retaliated in a phone interview.

"Hakim, just now, Tang Bei, who suffers from severe fear, said in an interview that you are not strong enough and are no match for him. He hopes to sweep the championship in the finals."

"Damn it, he's a big mouth. We never lost to the Heat in the regular season. What he says is bullshit."

“Mr. Reporter, tell him to stop dreaming of sweeping the championship. He’ll never be able to sweep the championship in his lifetime. He’ll be taken down by Michael in the Eastern Conference Finals.”

"Tang, Hakeem Olajuwon said you'll never win a championship in your life, and that he'll sweep the Heat in the Finals to win the title."

"With Olajuwon's skills, he thinks he can pick up the scraps? He doesn't even have the luck of that fat Barkley."

Before the Eastern and Western Conference Finals were even over, Tang Bei and Hakeem Olajuwon started exchanging barbs through the media, fueled by media hype.

Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on the 27th.

The Jazz returned to their home court and won the game, tying the series 1-2 with the Rockets.

"Tang, what's your take on the Western Conference Finals?" a reporter asked Tang Bei by phone.

"If we play the Jazz in the Finals, I think we'll have a better chance," he said.

"Mailman, Don said if the Jazz make it to the Finals, he'll sweep you guys." The reporter immediately called Karl Malone for an interview.

"Damn it, he doesn't have the ability," the postman said angrily.

"Hakeem, Don said you guys will be eliminated and the Heat will face the Jazz in the Finals."

"He's nothing. I'm more confident that we'll meet the Bulls in the Finals."

"Michael, Don thinks they're guaranteed to win the Eastern Conference Finals. He recommended a great fishing pier to you. Do you want to listen?"

"Let him die!"

He said that even if the Bulls made it to the Finals, they would still be swept again, so they might as well concede now.

"Charles, you bastard!"

“Michael, it was Don who said it, not Barkley.”

"I know, don't call me again, damn it! Beep beep beep..."

On the 28th, in Miami, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

At 7:30, both sides announced their starting lineups.

Chicago Bulls: Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, BJ Armstrong

Miami Heat: Tang Bei, Grant Lang, Glen Rice, Steve Smith, Avery Johnson

Bill Russell asked in surprise, "Make the bug have a severe fear of the worm?"

Bill Walton said, "Rodman can definitely play the five. He guarded Ewing and those three super centers, and he also matched up against Tang in switches."

Tonight's guest is Charles Barkley, who occasionally waves his right hand to show off his championship ring.

He said with a grin, "The Bulls lost their starting center Luke Longley and their developing defensive anchor Will Perdo, leaving them with only four big men."

Toni Kukoc, Rodman, Scott Williams, Bill Wennington—of these, only Bill Wennington was a true center.

Of course, there's also Corey Blunt, a fringe center, on the injury list. If there's really no one else available at center, he can fill in.

"Charles, what do you think Michael's attitude towards you is now?" Bill Walton suddenly asked curiously.

Barkley chuckled and said, "We're brothers, so Michael..."

He said earnestly to the camera that switched to him, "I'll sweep you aside. You don't need to be sad at all, because we're one with each other."

"Pfft!"

The Bill brothers burst out laughing instantly.

"Fuck you!"

In the away team's locker room, Jordan raised his middle finger and cursed, "Charles, you bastard, don't give me a chance."

“Charles, I’d like to know, who do you think is more successful, you or Michael? Who is stronger?” Bill Walton asked again.

Barkley knew it was a trap, but he still chose to jump in, grinning as he said:
"Although Michael has two championships, I won this championship by sweeping him, so I think mine is more valuable."

As for who is stronger or more successful, I don't want to answer that here. Anyway, I swept him to win the championship, and I think that deserves extra points.

"Ha ha……"

The Bill brothers burst into laughter.

The two decided at the same time to invite Barkley to the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals as well, because the guy brings his own topics and attention and is good at stirring things up.

In the home team's locker room, Tang Bei sighed, "Alas! Poor guy, being swept in the Finals is a topic Jordan can never escape for the rest of his life."

"Ha ha……"

Glenn Rice and the others burst into laughter.

"Severe phobia..."

When Tang Bei appeared, deafening cheers resounded throughout the Miami Arena, sweeping across the entire Miami city and metropolitan area.

NBC sent many reporters to conduct interviews in the metropolitan area, including some Chinese residents in Miami.

"I hope the Heat make it to the Finals, and I wish Tang Bei a championship."

A middle-aged Chinese man who had just moved to Miami spoke with hope during an interview with NBC News.

As Tang Bei's influence in Miami grew, the locals' attitude towards Chinese people improved. The Chinese community understood that the more successful Tang Bei became, the better their lives would be.

As a result, Miami's Chinese community, who used to pay no attention to the NBA, now frequently goes to the stadium to watch games.

Tang Bei glanced at the audience seats; there were quite a few Chinese faces.

He had no intention of interacting with the Chinese people who were cheering at him, especially the girls who didn't even speak Chinese. They were ugly and dark-skinned with their slanted eyebrows, and if they added a tongue piercing or a nose ring, they would be even uglier.

Zhang Heli said excitedly, "The Heat will definitely want to win this game. If they win Game 4, they will have match point. With Tang Bei's dominance in the game, it is almost certain that they will advance to the finals."

Sun Zhenping said, "The Bulls are even more eager to win Game 4 and tie the series 2-2. This would not only allow the Bulls to close out the series but also regain home-court advantage."

Han Qiaosheng said, "But if the Bulls lose tonight and fall behind 1-3, it will be very difficult for them to come back."

At eight o'clock, the game began, and Tang Bei and Rodman prepared for the jump ball.

"Tang, the nickname 'severe phobia' is so lame. You should change your name to 'severe mental illness patient' instead." Big Bug started spewing trash talk.

"Is it weaker than your crawler?" Tang Bei asked curiously.

Rodman grinned and said, "My nickname is The Worm, not The Reptile."

"Are the worms maggots?" Tang Bei asked.

Rodman's face twitched, and he said, "No, it's a worm, a caterpillar."

Tang Bei said, "Oh, I see. You want a beautiful transformation, right? Then don't call yourself Flower Bug, change your name to Flower Butterfly."

"Butterfly? Butterfly, butterfly..."

When Rodman first heard the nickname, he felt his life was bleak and he was no longer cool. But after repeating it a few times, he found that the nickname was strangely charming and he started to like it.

"Flower butterfly?"

"Ha ha……"

The referee and the other starting players from both teams looked quite strange when they heard the nickname, and some couldn't help but laugh.

"Di!"

The referee blew the whistle and then tossed the ball high into the air. Tang Bei tipped the ball away first, and Avery Johnson caught it, giving the Heat the offensive opportunity.

“Let’s see how the Bulls defend Tang Bei,” Bill Russell said.

"Oh, still man-to-man defense, Dennis Rodman is guarding Tang Bei one-on-one, top defense," Bill Walton continued.

"Wow, Michael is guarding Avery Johnson himself?" Charles Barkley exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

On the court, Rodman took a lunge, rooted to the floor like a nail, almost at a 45-degree angle, with both elbows pressing against Tang Bei's lower back.

On the right wing, Armstrong closely marked Steve Smith, focusing on line defense and trying to cut off the passing lane.

Although height is a disadvantage, agility is greater, keeping Smith from getting into open spaces.

On the right wing in the low post, Grant Long was also largely shut down by Toni Kukoc, who was more agile and faster.

On the left wing, Pippen closely followed Glenn Guss, and like Armstrong, he mainly adopted a line defense, focusing on cutting off passing lanes.

Outside the arc, Jordan retreated and defended, without employing a half-court press.

But with his height and wingspan, the area he covered defensively made Avery Johnson feel suffocated.

Phil Jackson abandoned the idea of ​​double-teaming Tang Bei early on, as the interior defense simply couldn't withstand the offensive pressure. Therefore, he had no choice but to adopt extreme defense, allowing Tang Bei to score while locking down the other four players.

Jordan also felt a sense of melancholy. The Bad Boys' extreme defense against him back then was now being used by the Bulls to deal with Tang Bei.

The Bad Boys' defense has two extreme defenses. The first is to use multiple players to sandwich Tang Bei, completely shutting him down.

But that would mean taking on Tang Bei's maximum offensive power, which isn't worthwhile. The only option is the second one: lock down the others and let Tang Bei score.

In order to truly shut down Avery Johnson, he will personally defend the point guard position.

Avery Johnson is a left-handed player, but instead of defending his left hand, he defended his right hand, forcing Avery Johnson to the left wing.

With Pippen on the left wing, it's easy to create a pincer attack once you force your opponents to the left.

Avery Johnson dribbled continuously, trying to shake off Jordan, but to no avail, and was gradually forced to the top of the left arc.

"Tang Bei is going to be promoted," Zhang Heli suddenly shouted.

On the field, Tang Bei suddenly moved up, and Avery Johnson saw the opportunity and quickly flicked the ball down with his left hand.

Jordan quickly moved sideways to steal the ball, but missed it, and immediately turned around to double-team Tang Bei.

Tang Bei received the ball on the left side of the free throw line, but was blocked by Rodman behind him. Jordan had already turned around and was within reach.

He raised the ball high with both hands, immediately turned to face the basket, and neither Rodman nor Jordan could stop him from turning, due to the vast difference in size and strength.

At the same time, Avery Johnson quickly crossed the left elbow area from the left arc, circled around Tang Bei and Jordan, and cut into the penalty area from behind Rodman.

Aside from rebounding, Rodman's job was to defend Tang Bei. He had no help defense or rotation duties, and he completely ignored Avery Johnson's cuts inside.

Toni Kukoc was responsible for covering the open shot under the basket. When he saw Avery Johnson moving down from the top of the key, he anticipated his offensive intention and immediately moved to cover the basket.

The next moment, Tang Bei quickly passed the ball over Rodman's head.

Avery Johnson cut to the left side of the court to receive the ball, took a step up, and launched a bank shot over Toni Kukoc, who had just come up to the basket.

"brush!"

The basketball bounced off the backboard and fell into the basket; Toni Kukoc's block was a fraction of a second too late.

"Pretty!"

Zhang Heli praised, saying, "After Tang Bei gained mid-range shooting and playmaking abilities at the high post, his threat level increased significantly. The Heat's offense was impossible to shut down, and no defensive tactics worked."

Sun Zhenping nodded and said, "That's right. He personally goes up to the high post to get the ball. Once the ball is in his hands, it comes alive. How can the Bulls shut down the Heat's offense?"

Han Qiaosheng said, "It seems the Bulls aren't planning to double-team Tang Bei early today."

Zhang Heli said, "In the NBA, this is called extreme defense. It's about shutting down the other four players and letting Tang Bei attack alone. It's the Pistons' tactic for defending Jordan."

This isn't the first time the Bulls have defended Tang Bei this way. It worked somewhat last year, but it's not as effective this year because Tang Bei can easily break through this defensive tactic by moving to the high post.

Sun Zhenping hurriedly said, "Then it seems that the Bulls don't have any good ideas for dealing with Tang Bei."

“Yes, some people are just unsolvable; no matter how you defend against them, it’s useless. Like Tang Bei, like Michael Jordan,” Zhang Heli said.

0-2, Bulls on offense, Heat still using 3-2 zone defense.

"Bang!"

In the right elbow area, Jordan, instead of passing the ball amidst a double-team from Avery Johnson and Steve Smith, took the shot himself, turning and fading off before missing for a three-point play. Tang Bei then boxed out Rodman and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Heat launched a fast break, with Avery Johnson and Steve Smith speeding down the left wing, while Jordan chased after them in the middle.

On the right wing, Glen Rice and Pippen ran side by side.

"Whoosh!"

With his left hand on Rodman, Tang Bei delivered a 15-meter long pass with his right hand to Steve Smith, who was lagging behind.

"squeak!"

After dribbling a few steps, Smith stopped at a 45-degree angle outside the left wing three-point line.

Meanwhile, Avery Johnson quickly cut into the penalty area from the left elbow area, making a gesture as if he wanted the ball.

Jordan didn't dare leave Steve Smith open for a three-pointer, so he stopped in front of Smith.

Armstrong then rushed from the free-throw line into the paint, following up with Avery Johnson to fill the gap under the basket.

Pippen also closely marked Glen Rice, and none of the Heat's three fast break players found a way to close the gap.

"The Bulls got back on defense really fast!" Zhang Heli exclaimed.

The Heat switched to half-court offense, and Avery Johnson, who received the ball, moved back to the top of the key, where Armstrong was still guarding him.

At this moment, Tang Bei reached a high position, and Avery Johnson immediately used the wall to break down.

Rodman did not switch defenses and continued to hold off Tang Bei.

Toni Kukoc once again came from the right wing to help defend the basket, but he was faster and got to the basket before Avery Johnson.

At the same time, Tang Bei executed a Tai Chi left turn, bypassing Rodman and cutting into the penalty area.

Avery Johnson quickly tossed the ball high in the air in front of Tang Bei. The next moment, Tang Bei leaped up, caught the ball with both hands in mid-air, and pounced towards the basket like a roc spreading its wings.

At that moment, Tony Kukoc felt a jolt, as if he'd been electrocuted.

He had only played one season, and although he was a substitute in all four regular season games, he had been knocked down a few times while helping on defense, so he knew how terrifying Tang Bei's impact and lethality were.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

A loud bang rang out, followed by Tony Kukoc being knocked over.

"WOW!"

"Severe phobia..."

A huge roar of cheers and shouts instantly swept through Miami Arena.

Fortunately, Tony Kukoc stepped back at the crucial moment, dissipating most of the impact, and with the protective action of his arms, he felt fine after getting up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"call!"

Jordan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kukoc was alright.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines was the same, as was General Manager Jerry Krause.

Bill Walton laughed and said, "After the pick-and-roll just now, Tony Kukoc helped defend the basket, and Grant Long had an open shot."

But compared to Tang Bei, who cuts into the paint, Tang Bei has a greater advantage. This is the Heat's tactical versatility: they don't need the open looks on the outside; they just use Tang Bei to attack you.

Barkley said unhappily, "Bill, you don't need to brag about Tang. He just didn't run into me, otherwise I could have taken care of him by myself."

"Arrogant guy!"

Bill Walton smacked his forehead, muttered a curse under his breath, and thought to himself, "Michael Jordan, Tang Bei, you guys let Barkley get a huge bargain, what a disaster!"

0:4, Bulls attack.

Jordan took the shot again, running to the top of the arc to receive Pippen's pass, then suddenly changing direction to drive past Avery Johnson who had switched onto him, before stopping and shooting a jump shot from the left side of the free-throw line.

Tang Bei quickly attacked from under the basket, but Jordan leaned back in mid-air and performed a fadeaway jump shot, clearing the block and completing the shot.

"brush!"

Water splashes, two points hit.

"I'm going to take a win from here tonight." Jordan's trash talk started immediately after he scored.

Tang Bei said, "You only have two possibilities: a Pyrrhic victory or a defeat. If you want to beat me, make it to the finals, and win the championship, keep dreaming."

His words instantly reminded Jordan of being swept in the Finals, his face stiffened, and his heart sank.

2:4, Heat on offense.

At the top of the key, Jordan was still guarding Avery Johnson.

Steve Smith came over to the top of the key to set a screen. After the screen, Avery Johnson dribbled the ball to the right wing, and Jordan quickly went around Smith to chase after him.

But before Jordan caught up with Avery Johnson, the latter already had a chance to pass the ball.

At that moment, Tang Bei had already executed a Tai Chi turn, quickly bypassing Rodman and cutting into the paint.

Dennis Rodman's tough defense was useless; Tang Bei's agile and quick turn rendered his defense ineffective.

Avery Johnson pulled up to the right arc and quickly passed the ball toward the basket. The next moment, Tang Bei sprang up and burst into action under the basket.

"boom!"

A powerful two-handed dunk shattered the Bulls' rim.

Han Qiaosheng exclaimed excitedly, "Beautiful! Tang Bei cut to the basket, received the ball, and slammed it down. His inside-outside combination with Avery Johnson was as smooth as flowing water."

Sun Zhenping said, "Tang Bei's cuts are really useful for the attack. He uses speed to beat slowness. No one can stop him from entering the penalty area. He can just go in easily."

Zhang Heli laughed and said, "Tang Bei really doesn't need top-notch or first-class point guards. As long as they can pass the ball in in time, that's enough."

"Coach Zhang, is Avery Johnson considered a second-rate player?" Sun Zhenping asked.

Zhang Heli said, "I think he is a practical point guard. He doesn't have fancy passing skills, nor does he have top-notch scoring ability, and he doesn't even have a three-point shot."

But he possesses many qualities that cannot be reflected in data, such as a stable mentality, the ability to handle crucial plays, the ability to control the game, and defensive resilience. These abilities have already been demonstrated this season and in these three series.

Therefore, his strength lies in practicality; there's really no need to categorize his abilities as first-rate or second-rate. Practicality is enough.

2:6, Bulls attack.

Next, Pippen went one-on-one against Glen Rice, missed the shot, and then Grant Long missed a wide-open shot. Rodman grabbed the rebound, and the Bulls called a timeout.

In just a few possessions at the start of the game, the Heat made 3 of 4 shots and the Bulls made 1 of 3, and Phil Jackson knew his tactics had failed.

First, there's the defensive tactic: using Jordan to guard Avery Johnson, which was countered by Tang's high-post play.

Offensively, the Bulls lacked inside offense, and all three of their offensive possessions consisted of outside jump shots, with a much lower shooting percentage than the Heat.

After the players were seated, he went to Jordan and Pippen and said in a deep voice:

"Michael, Scottie, we can't beat them without attacking inside the penalty area. You should know how to attack next."

Pippen looked a bit timid. Last year in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he drove in for a dunk but was blocked by Tang Bei, fell to the floor and got injured. This season against the Heat, he rarely drives in.

Including himself, too many Bulls players have been injured by Tang Bei, and he doesn't want his career to be over by Tang Bei.

After all, he already has two championships, so he feels that three is not much different from two. It's not like he's going to have a three-peat dynasty. Besides, it's his body, and he wants to sign a maximum contract next time.

He gets upset when he thinks about his contract. Salaries are getting higher and higher, and many rookies are earning more than him. It's so unfair.

Michael Jordan was completely different from Pippen. For the sake of victory, he was willing to charge in and have his arms and legs broken by Tang Bei.

He immediately nodded and said, "Phil, don't worry, Scottie and I will attack the penalty area next."

Pippen's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Jordan with wide eyes. Damn it, Michael, I have human rights too. Don't speak for me, okay?
"OK."

Phil Jackson then said to Armstrong and Tony Kukoc, "You guys are the same, go in and fight whenever you get the chance."

The two men shared Pippen's heavy mood, because they knew that attacking Tang Bei's restricted area, while not as dangerous as defending Tang Bei, was still very risky.

Fortunately, they felt they didn't intend to slam a punch on someone with severe fear. They figured they could just rush in and finish with a layup or a floater, as the danger wasn't too great. People with severe fear still had some limits and wouldn't go too far with them.

Having discussed the offensive issues, let's move on to the defensive end, which is the fundamental reason for the Bulls' loss.

The key to the defense lies in how to defend against the unstoppable Tang Bei.

Phil Jackson won two championships with the unstoppable Michael Jordan, so he has a deep understanding of how difficult it is to defend an unstoppable superstar center.

However, he still doesn't consider zone defense. The Heat don't have any skilled perimeter players who can penetrate, so man-to-man defense, collapsing defense, and quick rotations are the most suitable approach.

“Tony, when Tang moves up to the high post, immediately enter the paint to double-team him, blocking his path as he drives to the basket.”

"Dennis, you and Tony need to choose your defensive positions carefully. Don't leave any gaps in the middle, or he'll push past you to get to the basket."

"When he bumps into you, don't try to take the hit head-on; it's better to draw an offensive foul on him."

"I'd rather Grant Long score than see Tang Bei attack the basket."

"I'd rather Tang Bei shoot mid-range shots from the high post than see him attack the basket."

The timeout ends, and the Bulls launch an attack.

Pippen drew the Heat's defensive attention with a one-on-one play on the strong side, while Jordan made an off-ball run on the weak side, suddenly cutting past Steve Smith and then penetrating the paint from the right elbow area.

Tang Bei's main defensive task today is to help Jordan. He will only deal with the Bulls' other perimeter players when they approach or drive into the paint, and he is not responsible for mid-range shots that are far from the paint.

The Heat have his efficient scoring, and Pippen and the others are not a threat at all. They just need to limit Jordan's offense.

He noticed Jordan's drive and quickly moved up towards the free-throw line.

The next moment, Pippen suddenly passed the ball across the box.

"It's now."

The moment Pippen passed the ball, Tang Bei reacted with lightning speed.

"Snapped!"

He quickly stepped forward, his explosive power making his first step incredibly fast. With a swift movement of his left arm, his large hand instantly cut into the passing lane and intercepted the ball.

"WOW!"

The brilliant anticipatory interception immediately ignited the Miami Arena.

"That steal was brilliant, a perfect anticipation steal," Bill Russell exclaimed excitedly.

“That’s all there is to it,” Barkley said.

Armstrong went down to the left corner, and Avery Johnson followed, so there was no one at the top of the arc. After Tang Bei intercepted the ball, he launched a fast break from the free throw line, took possession of the ball himself, and accelerated down the arc.

Jordan turned and chased after Tang Bei, slightly faster than him. After crossing the center line, he gradually caught up to the left side, but it was no longer possible to get around to the right side, let alone overtake him.

Tang Bei dribbled the ball and charged past the top of the arc. After gathering the ball, he took another step and crossed the free-throw line. He slowed down slightly, then took off with full force.

"Crack, click, click..."

Behind the baseline, dozens of reporters and photographers pressed their shutters, creating a sea of ​​flashes.

Jordan deliberately lagged behind, trying to block the shot from behind.

But when he jumped up with all his might, he found that he couldn't reach the ball in Tang Bei's right hand, which was blocking from Tang Bei's left side.

Moreover, Tang Bei was holding the ball with both hands, so even if he managed to reach it, it wouldn't have made a difference.

"boom!"

An extremely loud and explosive sound of the basket exploding rang out.

With a powerful slam of both hands, Tang Bei swung high forward with terrifying force, the immense pulling force causing the entire basketball hoop to sag sharply, the relatively thin support rod almost breaking.

"WOW!"

Miami Arena erupted instantly, with tens of thousands of people raising their arms and shouting their hearts out.

Bill Walton exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, a devastating dunk! A dunk full of absolute violent aesthetics! An unparalleled dunk!"

"This ball is mine..."

Just as Barkley was about to criticize Jordan, Bill Russell interjected, "Even if it were you, Charles, you couldn't block Tang Bei. You're too short and fat; you simply can't jump high enough."

Barkley angrily said, "I'm the Flying Pig, the Flying Pig who plays over super centers, the Flying Pig who swept Michael to win the championship."

"Ha ha……"

When the Bill brothers heard Barkley repeatedly mention sweeping the championship, they burst into laughter.

"Damn Barkley, he shouldn't have won the championship."

"It's all Tang's fault. If it weren't for him, Michael would have won three consecutive championships. How could Barkley, that arrogant guy, have gotten away with it?"

"They not only picked up the scraps, but also swept Michael. That's too much."

At that moment, countless Jordan fans in front of their televisions began to hurl insults at Barkley.
