Chapter 89 Scared Popovich

"However, China's No. 1 pick also performed well in scoring in the first quarter. So far, he has scored 8 points."

And the hit rate is very high, 80%!

Tim Duncan: Nonsense, this guy either didn't take a shot in the first quarter, and when he did, he dunked. Who can stop him?

Jiang Dalin: Can you blame me?

On the offensive end of the first quarter, as long as he goes to the high post, the Spurs will have an outside player to interfere with his catching the ball. And when he gets stuck in the paint and wants the ball, the opponent must be Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

folder.

Two people, a former "top four center" and a current "top four forward" in the league, are constantly double-teaming a rookie who has just entered the league and has not been in the league for two months.

Really are……

No shame!

Obviously, this is the defensive strategy Popovich prepared for him.

Even Jiang Dalin admitted that he was indeed very targeted and did not even give him a chance to shoot.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful the defense is, it can only start from the playing style. It cannot limit talent...

If I really want to change to a guy who doesn't have such great physical fitness, tomorrow's news will probably be "Popovich successfully trained xxx" again.

"Boom!"

It's a pity that Jiang Dalin's physical fitness is so unreasonable!

As soon as the second quarter started, he successfully exploded the field with an alley-oop dunk.

After a few minutes of rest, Wizards fans' throats were cushioned and they were able to scream loudly for Jiang Dalin again.

Especially some female fans, howling and subconsciously tightening their grip at the same time.

Jiang Dalin was so fierce that they really couldn't handle him.

David Robinson was helpless. As long as Jiang Dalin rushed up, his interference would have no effect at all.

For this ball, Jiang Dalin took off in front of him again and dunked hard to finish the basket.

in those days……

I seem to play the same way!

He used to have the stature of a forward, the strength of a center, and the speed of a defender. Not to mention the championship, fans said it was so gorgeous to watch him play!

At that time, he never imagined that he, who had always used his talent to do whatever he wanted to others, would now be rubbed crazily by another person using his talent.

It even just served as a background for him to contribute to a top-10 famous scene in the NBA season.

Tim Duncan held the ball and was about to serve. The referee blew the whistle at this time, and the official time had arrived. As Tim Duncan was thinking about how to play the offensive round later, Jiang Dalin's just bombardment of the basket suddenly appeared in his mind.

Like this, I passed by the basket and looked up.

If I had this physical fitness when I was young, I would just do a 360-degree windmill...

Thinking in his mind, he also grabbed the ball with one hand and made a 360-degree swing with his arms, and made a "pop" sound in coordination with his mouth.

His appearance shocked the referee who came to catch the ball next to him.

Is this... confusing the number one scholar in China?

Why do you feel so nervous?

"Don't let the opponent shoot so easily, their shooting space is too big!"

"Bruce..."

Popovich made adjustments to the Spurs' defensive end. He restricted Jiang Dalin very well, but the rewards he received after restricting him were completely out of proportion to the proportion of defense he invested.

He decided to put aside the matter of training China's top pick for now.

Now what he needs to solve first...

We can no longer let the Wizards' outside shooting be so easy.

Especially the opposite Hamilton, who had already scored two three-pointers before the first half was over!

He looked at Bowen, who immediately glanced at Popovich as soon as he heard his name.

Popovich pointed at him: "Your defense is not strong enough. This is not my best performance..."

Bowen nodded, he knew what to do.

In fact, he has been doing this, but the guy opposite was too cautious. He made several attempts without success. He understood what Popovich meant, and he had to increase his intensity.

The official pause is to allow for commercial breaks, and the time is not very long.

The game soon started again.

Hamilton could feel that Bruce Bowen came back this time with a lot more hidden pulls. This made him frown a little, this guy's defensive moves were getting dirtier and dirtier!

"Man, this is not a basketball move!"

After being pulled again and seeing no reaction from the referee, Hamilton looked at Bruce Bowen with a bit more anger.

Bowen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and his moves became darker and darker.

Seeing that the opponent was intensifying, Hamilton responded with more counter runs. Bruce Bowen was constantly being pulled away from him by his shaking. This guy is better at personal defense. For such a powerful running without the ball, he only

I can make this last move.

"Kudeng~"

The basketball shoes under his feet rubbed against the floor, and he made a large counter-run to escape. Hamilton successfully ran out of the open space, and Jordan gave him the ball immediately.

Take it, raise your hand and throw it.

"Snapped!"

But Bruce Bowen flew over and slapped his hand hard.

"Bang!"

The ball didn't go in...

"beep!"

Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle.

Hamilton grimaced in pain and did not recover for a long time.

On the arms, there were clear finger prints, as well as a few broken skin and nail scratches.

The scene also showed the scene when Hamilton took action just now. Bruce Bowen's foul was obviously running towards someone, which caused boos and dissatisfaction from the audience.

But unfortunately, the referee did not change the penalty for a flagrant foul, but maintained the penalty for a common foul.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The pain in his arm affected Hamilton's shooting, and he rarely missed two free throws.

This time the Wizards fans booed even louder!

At the same time, there were many curses on the referee.

Bruce Bowen's expression did not change at all. He even pretended to run to Hamilton and asked if he was okay. When Hamilton looked at him coldly, he was not embarrassed and shook his head helplessly. Jiang Dalin left.

You can almost hear the words in his mouth: "I really didn't mean it! I'm really sorry!"

Too deep into the drama!

Tim Duncan turned the corner and turned the ball into an offense.

The Spurs attacked and defended, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

If they successfully defend and follow up with the ball again, there will be no gap between them and the Wizards.

"Keep it like this, keep it like this!"

Popovich clapped nearby.

Hamilton's anger was brought out by Bruce Bowen and he wanted to be more active with the ball.

He wants to use basketball to respond to Bruce Bowen: Don't try to stop me with your dirty methods!

But what he got in exchange was another concealed elbow strike and pull from Bowen.

Jiang Dalin frowned.

He was a little angry because he was playing so dirty.

The scale really has to be so big, right?

Bruce Bowen answered him with a save and push, yes, that's what I want to play!

Hamilton lay on the ground for a long time.

The referee finally couldn't stand it any longer and gave Bruce Bowen a first-level flagrant foul. Bruce Bowen still greeted the penalty with an aggrieved face. The boos at the scene did not change his expression at all.

"Okay, that's fine!"

Jiang Dalin's anger completely rose.

He stepped forward and pulled Hamilton up: "Are you okay?"

Hamilton nodded, it's okay!

His tone was obviously gritted, Bruce Bowen is really hateful!

Michael Jordan also saw that Bruce Bowen's strikes were getting heavier and heavier. This time he did not pass the ball to Hamilton. Instead, he held the ball himself, shook it with a fake move, and shot directly.

There was a "bang" sound.

Missed the shot.

Jiang Dalin exerted force fiercely and took the offensive rebound in his hands. Facing the double-team of Tim Duncan and David Robinson, this time he did not choose to pass the ball to the outside. Instead, he protected the ball with both hands first, regardless of twisting his body.

, looking for room for strength.

When Bruce Bowen saw Tim Duncan and David Robinson successfully double-teaming him, he immediately rushed forward, preparing to steal the ball with his body. Actively following the bad guy was the only way for him to stay in the league.

What the hell!

Jiang Dalin also caught a glimpse of him. His anger turned into fuel and burned his body functions. He dribbled the ball hard, charged up his hands and jumped up. Tim Duncan and David Robinson jumped at the same time.

Get up, both spread their arms, forming a dragnet.

But what they didn't expect was that when Jiang Dalin jumped up, he twisted his body and went to another angle. His wingspan allowed him to complete a one-handed dunk from the other side of the basket!

"Double-teamed by Tim Duncan and David Robinson!"

"Turn 270 degrees and kick back!"

"omg!"

When the ball hit the frame, the entire scene exploded.

Jiang Dalin's teammates on the bench also jumped up as if their buttocks were on fire, with expressions on their faces so excited that they were a little painful.

Facing Tim Duncan and David Robinson under the basket, he forced a 270-degree one-handed back dunk.

Who the hell is this guy?

In the tnt studio, Kenny Smith slammed the table and stood up.

Buckley even kicked his chair away in excitement.

With this body, others are still playing tricks!

"Everyone go home!"

"Everyone go home!"

"Let's all fucking go home!"

Michael Jordan was once again stunned by Jiang Dalin's physical fitness for the first time in a long time.

This guy has refreshed the "God of Basketball"'s understanding of "forced dunk" time and time again...

The excited Jiang Dalin howled loudly. At the same time, he raised his hand consciously and pushed his thick arm back hard. He just saw from the corner of his eye that Bruce Bowen was standing next to him...

You like to play dirty tricks, right?

Fuck you!

Gu Yu

The elbow hadn't moved back very far when it touched something. Judging from the touch, it should be a person...

That’s it!

There was the sound of someone falling to the ground behind him, and there were exclamations amidst huge cheers from the audience. Jiang Dalin did not look back, but continued to roar loudly. Acting is one thing, but he was actually very excited to be able to complete such a dunk.

of.

This is Tim Duncan and David Robinson!

Is there anything more to say about their respective positions in this league?

To complete such a strong dunk under their attack, even Jiang Dalin himself felt very awesome!

Thanks to Hamilton!

Without this anger, his outburst would not have been so complete...

"omg, Tim, Tim, are you okay! Tim?"

"Oh, god!"

"Quick, call the team doctor, everyone spread out, spread out, don't get close!"

Eh?

The excited Jiang Dalin heard shouting behind him, and the content surprised him.

Tim?

Shouldn't it be Bruce Bowen?

I clearly caught a glimpse of him when I turned around!

Confused Jiang Dalin turned his head and looked at the ground. This figure was obviously not that of Bruce Bowen...

What's wrong with this?

He was really stunned.

Don't tell me, it was Tim Duncan who "walked" that elbow just now.

Oh My God!

Jiang Dalin subconsciously grabbed his afro with both hands.

Numb...

Although he still doesn't regret doing this.

Looking up at the screen above, Jiang Dalin wanted to know what was going on...

On the screen, he was returning to defense in slow motion. When Jiang Dalin turned around, he glanced at a blind spot. When he turned to face the camera, his eyes were already looking forward. When he raised his elbow, he could not help but celebrate and vent.

Didn't notice the person next to me...

Yes!

Jiang Dalin also understood what was going on.

He was not mistaken at the time. The person standing next to him was indeed Bruce Bowen, but when he raised his elbow, Bruce Bowen bent down to pick up the ball on the ground and was about to pass it to Tim Duncan.

With this bend, the person behind Jiang Dalin's elbow also turned into Tim Duncan. He didn't react at the time. Jiang Dalin's expression when Tim Duncan, who was already "facially paralyzed" fell to the ground, was as if his soul was out of control.

It's like getting it right...

How could this effect not exist!

Jiang Dalin hated Bruce Bowen so much at that time, he wished he could give this bastard an elbow and take him away!

But...

Popovich looked completely panicked, not only worried about Tim Duncan's condition, but also because...

He thinks Jiang Dalin did it on purpose!

He asked Bruce Bowen to attack Hamilton, and this guy directly attacked Tim Duncan.

So cruel...

It can only be said that Popovich's "villain's heart" has indeed saved Jiang Dalin's "gentleman's heart".

He guessed correctly.

Jiang Dalin did this on purpose.

But he guessed Jiang Dalin too harshly.

Jiang Dalin can guarantee that he was really heading towards Bruce Bowen at that moment.

Who knew this guy was so lucky.

Tim Duncan took the shot for him…

But if you really want to think about it a little more darkly, Bruce Bowen, a dirty guy, can easily cause injuries to opposing players, and Tim Duncan is indeed the beneficiary.

This coincidence is more like a causal cycle.

Anyway, as he said, Jiang Dalin does not regret raising his elbow.

Bruce Bowen, a dirty old man, has done so many dirty things. He even said it when he retired, and even made a false apology at the retirement ceremony. This is tantamount to making it clear that he did it on purpose.

I can't get used to this kind of guy.

What's more, he still targeted Hamilton.

Can Jiang Dalin spare him?

Popovich's intestines were broken. If he knew that Jiang Dalin was so ruthless, he would never dare to play such a dirty trick with the Wizards. Originally, he thought that these guys could only vent their anger on Bruce Bowen.

Without Bruce Bowen, he and Stephen Jackson could still continue to play this dirty trick.

But without Tim Duncan, this would be a waste of time!

Looking at the number one scholar in China smiling all day long, I really didn’t expect that...

Cruel!

Bruce Bowen was also stunned. When he looked back at the scene, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He almost became the Tim Duncan of the earth...

He, who had always been disdainful of dirty hands, couldn't help but swallow.

Tim Duncan was carried away on a stretcher. After reviewing the video several times, the referee finally gave Jiang Dalin a second-level flagrant foul and sent him off.

The referee explained to Jordan: "I know he didn't mean it, but Tim Duncan is on a stretcher now."

Michael Jordan nodded and had nothing to say about the penalty.

The Wizards fans in the audience still sent Jiang Dalin off with huge cheers. Tim Duncan's injury did not make them have any prejudice against Jiang Dalin, even if he did it on purpose. Bruce Bowen's action against Hamilton made them

They all see it in their eyes, and they are just going after the useless person.

If they are so dirty, don't blame us for being ruthless!

What's more, it can be seen from the scene that he did not do it unintentionally!

Jiang Dalin went back to wash up and then drove away directly. He didn't want to be surrounded after the game because of this incident.

In this game without Jiang Dalin or Tim Duncan, the Wizards still won in the end. Although there were various loopholes on their defensive end, at least they could still play well on the offensive end. The Spurs were different.

Without Tim Duncan, there is nothing.

108 to 91, the Wizards won a lot, beating the Spurs by 17 points.

The fans at the scene booed the Spurs.

Popovich wasn't too upset after losing.

Rather than winning or losing a game, he was more worried about what was going on with Tim Duncan.

"This is definitely a dangerous move. I don't know if he did it on purpose, but I know he must pay the price for it. We don't even know what's going on with Tim!"

Popovich also severely criticized Jiang Dalin after the game.

Looking at his expression, you would think he is a righteous person.

Scott did not hesitate and counterattacked directly: "We all know what is going on. Someone will always get injured in the game against the Spurs, and the person who causes the player to get injured is always the same person. Before this, we didn't

Seeing Popovich make any statement about this, it seems that this is something that should exist and is reasonable. Now, this is also something that should exist and cannot be avoided. He has been in the league for so long.

, you won’t understand..."

Michael Jordan also publicly sided with his little brother: "He didn't mean it. The live footage has been replayed countless times. In these countless times, what we saw was a completely excited, excited and forgetful Darling. And in such a

Before he got excited, he actually completed a wonderful dunk!"

He didn't say anything about the obscene things. He had seen it too much and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Hamilton also supported Jiang Dalin: "We all know that he is a good person, and he wants this to happen more than anyone else!"

After they spoke out one after another, the entire alliance participated in the discussion on this matter.

What's interesting is that not many coaches and players from teams in the league have stood up to denounce Jiang Dalin on behalf of the Spurs. They either refused to speak or got angry.

They have all played against the Spurs and know exactly how dirty this team is!

Although Tim Duncan's "out-of-body" experience made them a little distressed, it was really refreshing to see, especially Popovich's frightened look.

You old bastard, you are actually afraid!

General Manager Earl, head coach Scott and even Michael Jordan have been receiving some strange text messages since last night:

"Well done!"

“It’s so refreshing!”

"This old man with a red nose should be punished!"

Tim Duncan himself had some good friends in the circle, but before these good friends were about to complain on his behalf, he suddenly felt a little sore in his neck, so he thought about it and let it go.

I will have to face off against Jiang Dalin in the future, who knows if his memory is good or not!

Tim Duncan's physical condition was such that his soul was "out of body" after such a beating. If this were them, there's no telling what they would be like, and they would have to cherish their lives!

Only the two protagonists in this matter have not responded yet.

One of them didn't want to answer, and the other couldn't answer...

However, Happy spoke out through the media early the next morning: "Darling is willing to bear all of Tim Duncan's treatment costs. He is sorry that such a thing will happen..."

At about 10 o'clock in the morning that day, Jiang Dalin also officially responded in front of the media: "I accept all penalties given by the league. In fact, I hope that those who cause injuries to opposing players will be given heavier penalties, no matter who they are."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally..."

When Bruce Bowen heard what he said, he immediately became anxious, good guy, you are planning to destroy me!

"I am the one who is closer to Jiang, so I am willing to believe..."

Um?

Bruce Bowen, who was answering questions in front of the media, stopped talking and suddenly broke into cold sweat again on his back.

The top pick in China...isn't he here for me?

Think about the way Tim Duncan fell to the ground, and then think about what it would be like if it were really him...

He didn't dare to think about it any more.

Bruce Bowen felt he needed to find Popovich.

Well... when I play against the Wizards in the future, can you help me play a little cleaner?

At least in those games, I want to be a good person...

In the afternoon of the same day, the injury report on Tim Duncan also came out. Although he was unconscious at the time, there was not much of a problem overall. He had a slight concussion. After ten days and a half of rest, he should be able to return to the court.

Already.

Compared to what Tim Duncan looked like when he was lying on a stretcher, this should be good news.

Jiang Dalin was finally relieved.

But he was relieved, and the other insiders in the league were worried, especially those who had been praised by him. They were all a little panicked at the moment. How much had Tim Duncan been praised by him? What was the result? Give him an elbow.

I got a concussion from doing it. I heard that when I woke up, I was still in a daze: "Mom, I want to eat candy..."

How scary!

Many media continued to denounce Jiang Dalin after this injury report. However, looking at their past reports, we can see that they are all "Jiang Hei". Although they have brought some rhythm, overall they can only be said to be small waves. Jiang Dalin

Dalin didn't worry at all.

That night, the league's punishment announcement for Jiang Dalin also came out. Although it was not intentional and it was the first time, considering the seriousness of the circumstances, the punishment was still very severe: a fine of 100,000 yuan and a 7-game suspension.

But Popovich was still dissatisfied and continued to denounce Jiang Dalin.

Michael Jordan is very unhappy about this. Are you criticizing Jiang Dalin? Are you not slapping me in the face?

Facing the media who continued to press on about this matter, he directly said: "I paid Jiang's fine!"

What the hell, you are only allowed to play dirty, right?
