Chapter 31: Reconciliation_3

The Suns had an exhausting journey to play as the visiting team, and their physical fitness and form were greatly affected, especially by the last game against the Nets, with the Phoenix players being quite fatigued.

Since the overall strength of the Suns was higher than that of the Nets, the two sides were closely matched, and the score was very tight throughout.

Barkley was very busy tonight, once again scoring high points and rebounds, while spatting with the New Jersey fans from the start to the end.

The game went into overtime with the Suns team exhausted and Barkley struggling on; he was determined to win this game.

Derek Coleman stepped up to the free-throw line, sunk his shots, while Barkley continued to exchange verbal spats with the Nets' courtside fans.

The worn-out Barkley, having run and battled for more than two hours, felt his mouth filled with saliva, a sign of severe physical exertion.
