June 4, TNT Studio, "NBA Insider" program.

Host Ernie Johnson opened the show with a microphone in hand: "Girls and gentlemen, thank you for watching tonight's 'NBA Insider'. Good evening, I am host Ernie Johnson."

"I'm Kenny Smith."

"I'm Charles Barkley."

After Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley showed their faces, Ernie Johnson continued to pick up the topic and preach.

"Today's discussion on the show is 'Who is the NBA's active power forward'.

For this purpose, we specially invited Karl Malone, one of the top 50 superstars and one of the active power forward candidates.

OK, please let Karl Malone come on the stage.”

Carl Malone is usually low-key and doesn't like to show up in public.

However, if there is a program that costs him to invite him, he will naturally participate.

Today is Tuesday, tomorrow is Wednesday, and the first game between the Bucks and Lakers Finals begins.

The first game of the NBA Finals is usually held on Wednesday, mainly for viewership.

Because North American school institutions organize sports activities, they are often held on Wednesday afternoons.

Even if there is no physical activity, students' parents usually accompany their children to participate in sports parent-child activities.

When I go home at night, I naturally prefer to watch some sports programs when I turn on the TV.

Carl Malone knew very well that he would not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. At this critical moment, TNT invited him to participate in the show, which was probably nothing good.

Before coming, the program team also communicated with Carl Malone for a little while.

Karl Malone knows what aspects of discussion may happen next.

As expected, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley will compare him with Tim Duncan and the recently popular He Li.

Before Duncan emerged, the No. 1 power forward made a comparison and choice before Barkley and Carl Malone.

At that time, Barkley said that neither he nor Karl Malone had a championship, and no one could compare to each other by virtue of honor and record.

But after Duncan won the championship, Barkley took the lead in changing his words, advocating that Duncan was the number one power forward, not only active service, but also the number one power forward in history, and did not hesitate to offend Kevin McHale for this.

However, Barkley had not retired at that time, so it was not easy for Barkley to switch to the Spurs.

At this time, Duncan was seriously injured and the Lakers rose.

After the Lakers won two consecutive championships, Barkley stopped talking about Duncan and the No. 1 power forward in history.

Because even if Duncan feels comfortable and joining the Spurs, Barkley has no hope of getting a championship ring after his comeback!

Now, the opportunity has come again.

As the saying goes, you must not miss the opportunity and never come again! The old things you have planned for a long time can be put on the agenda again.

Carl Malone knew clearly what kind of person Barkley was without integrity.

After kissing the donkey's ass not long ago, Carl Malone said, I still underestimated this badass.

Of course, He Li's performance this season is really unexpected.

Karl Malone also had to admit that He Li was a little bit of a rookie who could lead the team to sweep and advance to the finals in the rookie season.

The appearance of He Li now is indeed very good at champions and the momentum of the magician rookie FMVP.

Therefore, the tnt "NBA Insider" program took advantage of the finals that had not started yet, and wanted to take advantage of He Li and the finals to discuss who is the active power forward.

During this discussion, it is inevitable to step on one hand to create a program effect.

So, who will be trampled and who will be praised, naturally need not be said.

Carl Malone also thought about whether to come or not.

The result was still here, so of course, there was too much that TNT gave.

In fact, Carl Malone has been fighting in the NBA for almost 20 years, and it has only become rich in recent years.

Others give too much money, and they really can't grasp it when encountering such a thing.

As we all know, within the NBA category, Scotty Pippen is not only a person's name, but also a unit of salary measurement.

Because of signing a long-term contract, Scotty Pippen was a representative of high-energy basic salary for a long time.

But in fact, why not a veteran like Karl Malone?

The salary during peak period is less than 2 yuan.

Karl Malone is a microcosm of this era, and almost all veteran stars have signed long-term contracts with the team.

Compared with the current salary contract, it can be said that before they get a compensatory pension contract, their peak contracts were not as good as rookies in previous years.

I have to mention two people here, one is Jordan.

Jordan, Dream Team, and the Bull Dynasty had a huge impact on the NBA and affected the whole world.

NBA suddenly became richer and richer.

NBA players have increased their net worth after Jordan is rich first and then become rich.

The veteran who signed a long-term contract and worked diligently in the NBA became a victim by comparison.

At this time, the big dog appeared.

The big dog's lion opened his mouth, which changed the NBA's pattern to a certain extent.

Before the rookie standard contract was released, the lottery show, which was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, could rely on his talent to do whatever he wanted and negotiate with the team boss.

When the veteran saw a rookie like Dagou who was ignorant of the world, he was very angry on the surface and accused Dagou of the bad guy, but secretly followed suit and negotiated with the boss.

Some people have obtained a maximum salary compensation pension contract, while some have made a lot of money when they switch to other places.

The rookie Big Dog won a sky-high contract with the Bucks, which has really strengthened the ambitions of a group of people.

This situation did not change slightly until the rookie standard contract came out.

With a rookie standard contract, the team owner can save a lot of money.

Moreover, we can rely on talented players to play child labor, and we have the hope of using the team's salary structure to complete reinforcement and realize our desire to win the championship.

The Bucks are now also a lucky product after the rookie standard contract is released.

The Bucks before He Li joined the team had already exceeded the luxury tax line.

Although tax payments have only started this season, it is a hidden danger that must be paid attention to for the small football market.

If this hidden danger is not solved, the Bucks, which were originally only at the level of the Eastern Conference Finals, not only could they not be able to strengthen them, but they might also be farther and farther away from the championship in the next two years due to the salary structure crisis.

But I didn't expect that after the bucks gained He Li, they soared into the sky.

Indeed, there was a sudden extra star in the Eastern Conference Finals team, that was the finals level team.

If you are a superstar signed with a maximum salary, it must be something that a small-scale team like the Bucks cannot accept.

But He Li is just a rookie, and he is also the first round pick who signed a 22 contract.

Even though the Bucks cannot win the championship as they wish this year, as long as the Bucks do not do anything sexy during He Li's four-year rookie contract, there will definitely be great potential.

So, before the discussion of "NBA active No. 1 Power Forward" began, Carl Malone stared at He Li on the screen.

"When will we, the Jazz, find a rookie like He Li at the end in the middle of the first round pick?"

It is worth mentioning that there is Duncan on the screen, but Duncan is the No. 1 pick!

Carl Malone knew that it was impossible to have him in the Jazz, and it was unlikely that the lottery show would be possible.

Then, the only thing Carl can greedy for short-term rebuttals Malone, who is not very good at draft picks, but can counterattack and become the best rookie, or even a super rookie superstar.

"Carl, what you see is so fascinating? Are you watching He Li?

Do you also appreciate He Li? Then do you think He Li is the number one power forward in the active service?

Or is there any chance to be this?"

Barkley knew that Carl Malone and He Li were not dealing with, but now he found that Carl Malone was looking at He Li, and because of his interest, he suddenly started attacking.

No matter what Carl Malone said next, the show effect will come out.

If Carl Malone denies it, Barkley said that he, He Mi, must argue with Carl Malone and go to the end.

If Carl Malone agrees to support He Li, then the two former power forwards can have a good chat and brag about He Li together, and "recognize" He Li's status.

"It's such a pleasant decision!" Barkley smiled slightly at Carl Malone.

When Carl Malone heard what Barkley said, subconsciously looked at Barkley where he was at ease. But when he saw Barkley smiling at him with bad intentions, he shuddered and turned his head over.

Carl Malone asked Ernie Johnson on the other side: "Do you think a tough guy like me would appreciate a soft boy like He Li?"

Ernie Johnson was surprised when he heard this: "Softie? He Li is a softie. How could you have such a view?

You know he is the dunk king! He has strong finishing ability and can bring victory strongly.

Why do you think so? Is it because he threatened your position?"

As the host of an NBA program, Ernie Johnson naturally knew why Carl Malone said that He Li was a softie.
