Chapter 1332 Michael, Do You Have Any Shame?

Onik said at this time: "It's funny, Charles, you and Payton are somewhat similar. In the 2004 season, Gary played 82 games with the Lakers. He made himself the thigh of me, Kobe Bryant, and Karl Malone. Then He couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the sun, so I have to say that it's not that easy to be a thigh. It's too tiring."

Several people burst into laughter again.

After Barkley laughed, he started to lead the conversation and asked Reggie Miller directly: "Reggie, you have stuck with the Pacers your whole life, why didn't you choose to leave at the end of your career?"

These words made Reggie Miller a little silent, and he smiled: "In fact, before I retired, the Hammers invited me, but I refused, and then the Suns won three consecutive championships and created a dynasty."

"Do you regret it?" Buckley asked.

Reggie Miller thought for a while and sighed: "I'm very envious, but I don't regret it."

"Why? Is it for the concept of one person defending a city?" Buckley asked.

Reggie Miller thought about it again, and seemed to be finalizing his thoughts, but in fact, there was no need to think about it at all, everything was in his heart.

"Persistence is just a kind of persistence. I love it there, I love the fans there, I hope to finish my career with the Pacers, and I can't betray them for the sake of the championship." He said.

"So what do you think about grouping?" Barkley asked directly, ignoring Reggie Miller's feelings for the Pacers.

Reggie Miller answered this question quickly, saying: "Since the emergence of the Hammers, grouping has become the only choice for other superstars, because no team can defeat the Hammers with a lineup with one or two superstars as the core. So I’m not very opposed to this phenomenon. After all, no one wants to lose, everyone wants the championship.”

"Michael, what about you?" Buckley asked.

Jordan said: "You ask me? In fact, you shouldn't invite me, because in my era, I was like a hammer."

"Michael, do you want face?"

Reggie Miller disagreed and immediately shouted: "In your era, we really couldn't beat you, but we didn't stick together. If we did, what would it matter to you?"

"He hugged me."

Of course Jordan did not agree with what Reggie Miller said. If he accepted it, it would mean that he was inferior to the Hammers because he could not force his opponents to team up, so he immediately pointed at Barkley and started shouting.

Looking at Jordan angrily, Barkley's face was dark, I am the host, can't you give me some face? Don't think that just because you are handsome, I won't dare to fall out with you.

"Da Meng is already old. I am Mosaic's thigh. How can you say that I am in a group?" He immediately started to defend.

"You just hugged the thigh, but you didn't expect to become the thigh." Jordan retorted.

Barkley shook his head and said: "No, no, when it comes to teaming up, I don't count it. It really doesn't count. The real teaming starts with the Lakers' F4 Legion. They are really a team."

O'Neal's little eyes widened and he shouted: "Can a few old guys be considered a team? There must be a definition of a team, that is, a team can only be considered a team at its peak. At the end of his career, joining a strong team for the championship, I don't think it is a team. ”

Several people agreed with this, Jordan also agreed, and Barkley was also satisfied, so he was no longer in a group.

"Larry, what do you think?" Barkley asked Larry Bird.

Larry Bird hasn't spoken much yet. The era between him and Magic Johnson was before Jordan. When Jordan won the championship, he and Johnson were about to retire. There was no such thing as a team at that time. They were all defending one city. .

At this time, he said: "The times are developing, and every era has its own characteristics. In fact, we cannot look at the new era with old eyes..."

These words also made everyone nod, and then he continued: "I want to say one thing now, does this era have its overlord?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then nodded in unison.

Bird continued: "But the Hammers are a completely different overlord from Jordan. His strong defense allows him to have incredible dominance on the court. This kind of dominance is not available in our era. Other superstars in this era, For example, LeBron James and Kobe are facing pressure that we cannot understand.”

"Yes, I can relate."

O'Neal, who has personally competed with Li Ba for several seasons, said: "He is a real defensive machine, and now he has grown into a defensive machine that can cover the entire court. One person really cannot fight against him."

"So teaming up is inevitable? If we don't team up, we can only watch the Hammers continue to win championships, just like the Celtics back then?" Barkley asked.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then they all nodded.

"One person can defeat all the stars?" Buckley murmured.

At this time, he thought of an interesting question and immediately asked it: "In ancient times, Chamberlain could average more than 20 rebounds per game, but there was no record of blocking shots at that time, but I want to rely on Chamberlain's jumping and wingspan. , he will also have a lot of blocks, so who is better, Chamberlain or the Hammers?”

O'Neal immediately said: "As a center, I have to say that Chamberlain's offensive talent is beyond the Hammers. But on the defensive end, even if Chamberlain can grab more than 20 rebounds per game, his dominance on the court is not as good as the Hammers." ”

"Why?" Buckley asked.

O'Neal said: "What I want to say is that his blocking and stealing abilities, as well as his defensive ability and even his organizational ability are not as good as the Hammers.

The Hammer has a top-notch defensive system. We can see this by looking at the current Suns. The defense this season is driven by the Hammer.

Chamberlain does not have this kind of defensive system. His performance on the defensive end is just because his physical fitness is too amazing. In this respect, he is better than the Hammer. "

Barkley nodded, and then led the topic back, saying: "We now recognize this group phenomenon, right? This is what you all admitted just now, because a superstar can never beat the Hammer. "

After everyone nodded, he said: "Then let's connect with our guest LeBron James. "

The video call was quickly connected, and James' head appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.

"Hey, LeBron, you heard our discussion, do you have anything to say?" Barkley asked.

"I actually want to say that grouping is not what we want. We also want to defend a city alone, but the situation is pressing and we can't control it. " James said.

"Can you be more specific? "Barkley asked.

James continued: "You know, we have a team behind us, a lot of sponsors, this is a big team, every decision is a collective decision, I can't use my personal decision to replace the entire team, I can only say so much."
