Chapter 1 The End

Barkley was about to play, and the fans on the sidelines were completely excited.

How many years had it been since they had seen Barkley play?

That big belly, that body of flabby flesh, could he still play?

Barkley shouted towards the sidelines, and soon two guards teamed up with him.

Barkley played inside. "Godfather's" defense was good, but he was still an outside player. Barkley's side really had a chance to win.

5 to 0, the "Godfather" and his nephew easily took care of their opponents again.

At this time, amidst the cheers and jeers of the audience, Barkley and his team took the court.

"Hey, Godfather, how about I make a bet with you?" Barkley didn't start the game directly, but shouted at Tang Tian.

His shout made the fans on the sidelines even more excited. This was really Barkley!

"What do you want to bet?" Tang Tian asked.

"If we win against you, you'll tell me who you are," Barkley said.

As soon as he said this, the audience cheered. Finally, Barkley had really come for this.

"What if you lose?" Tang Tian retorted.

"If..." Barkley was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought about that. Usually, Smith was the one who said these things, and he couldn't pick up the thread.

"If you lose, you'll call 'Godfather' your boss," Smith said at this time.

As soon as Smith said this, the audience started to boo.

Barkley grinned and looked at Smith. He knew this person, the 'Godfather's' nephew. How could his behavior be exactly the same as his dead partner…

If he really lost, and had to call someone else "big brother" in front of so many people, wouldn't he lose face?

Tang Tian glanced at Smith, then smiled and looked at Barkley again.

Sure enough, commentary partners were just plastic friendships, the best of frenemies.

"Okay, I agree," Barkley said loudly.

He, Sir Barkley, had never been afraid of anyone. He was going to win tonight.

After Barkley agreed, the atmosphere exploded instantly.

There was a reason why Smith and Barkley could become TNT's aces. One dared to speak, and the other dared to act. In just a few words, they completely stirred up the atmosphere.

Barkley's side started the game, and he went straight to the inside, backing against Tang Tian's big man.

The guard lobbed the ball in, and he used his big butt to open up space.

The big man couldn't withstand it for long, and Barkley directly bumped him away and scored.

1 to 0.

Although he had retired for more than ten years and hadn't trained systematically, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. That big butt of his was the most formidable in NBA history.

A burst of whistles sounded from the sidelines. Sir Barkley was still as sharp as ever.

With one basket, Tang Tian knew that his inside couldn't hold Barkley. He exchanged a look with Smith, preparing to double-team.

The guard lobbed the ball in again, and Tang Tian shrank in to double-team.

Barkley reacted quickly. Seeing Tang Tian come over, he immediately passed the ball back to the guard, who caught the ball and shot directly.

"Swish!"

The ball went in.

2 to 0!

Although these two guards weren't invited by Barkley, they wouldn't be too bad if they dared to come up.

The cheers from the sidelines grew even louder. Tonight, they would finally know what the "Godfather's" true identity was!

Tang Tian couldn't help but admire Barkley's strength. He was indeed one of the NBA's "50 Greatest Players."

This wasn't just a matter of a lean camel being bigger than a horse; he was really something.

Double-teaming was definitely out of the question, so he could only limit him from receiving the ball.

He called out to his own big man, signaling him to defend in front.

Barkley's team continued to have possession. The big man defended in front, and Tang Tian directly pressed closely, not giving the guard a chance to pass the ball inside again.

The guard had never experienced this kind of pressure before, so he could only pass the ball to his teammate. Smith also defended closely at this time.

Although he was old, he had the experience. After a few tries, he couldn't pass it in, and finally chose a forced layup that missed.

However, just then, Barkley used his big butt to push away the big man, directly grabbed the offensive rebound, and bumped away Smith to score on a put-back.

3 to 0.

The fans on the sidelines exploded.

He was really invincible under the basket.

As expected, your grandpa is still your grandpa!

After the put-back, Barkley smiled and looked at Tang Tian, with an expression that said he was going to win tonight.

Tang Tian also became serious at this time. Although he also wanted to reveal his identity, he preferred to do it proactively, rather than being forced to show himself after being defeated.

Since Barkley was invincible under the basket, he would simply not give Barkley the ball.

He passed the ball to the opposing guard, and then directly pounced on him.

Seeing Tang Tian coming over, the guard immediately passed the ball away.

However, at the moment he passed the ball, Tang Tian, who was originally pouncing towards him, directly reached out and grabbed the ball as it was being passed.

"Pa!"

He directly stole the ball!

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

This was simply divine prediction!

This was what made Tang Tian different.

In his previous life, he was the Basketball Godfather, very good at figuring out opponents. The guard had been forced so badly by him before that passing was almost a must.

So his pounce forward was a feint, and stealing the ball was the real goal!

With one steal, possession changed.

Tang Tian controlled the ball and directly signaled the big man to come over for a pick-and-roll.

Pick-and-roll, the big man blocked the guard.

Although Barkley was still very strong under the basket, he was old after all, and his movement speed was slow. This switch was obviously not fast enough.

Tang Tian seized the small gap created by the pick-and-roll and raised his hand to shoot.

Barkley didn't have time to interfere.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian's three-pointer went in.

1 to 3.

A cheer went up from the sidelines.

Although they also wanted to know the Godfather's identity, they also didn't want the Godfather to lose.

Barkley patted his thigh and leaned his whole body forward, preparing to accelerate around the pick-and-roll.

Tang Tian didn't play that way at this time. He passed the ball to Smith and began to cut and run.

With the last basket, he already knew that Barkley's speed wasn't good, so he would take advantage of that.

With continuous screens from his big teammate, Barkley switched to defend Tang Tian, and then began to run around the court following Tang Tian.

That big butt and big belly were like flying balls of meat. Sir Barkley put in all his effort but still couldn't keep up with Tang Tian.

Smith passed the ball, and Tang Tian didn't shoot directly after catching it, but stabilized himself and shot an open three-pointer.

"Swish!"

It was still a perfect shot.

2 to 3.

Barkley was strong under the basket, but even Jackson couldn't keep up with Tang Tian running like that, let alone him, who hadn't run like that in more than ten years.

On the third basket, it was the same routine, and Barkley was already panting halfway through.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian showed his excellent touch, hitting three consecutive three-pointers.

The score suddenly came to 3 to 3.

Possession was still with Tang Tian's team.

Seeing the big man preparing to come up for a pick-and-roll, and Tang Tian preparing to run, Barkley gasped for breath, a look of despair in his eyes.

"Stop, I give up," he then said.
