Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

It's the last two minutes of the third quarter.

Because the penalty scale suddenly increased, the Pistons were very comfortable, but the Mavericks obviously couldn't adapt to this rhythm. Not to mention the chaos, the overall momentum was also suppressed. To put it bluntly, the Mavericks were timid. As for the third At the end of the quarter, Crotty's appearance did not attract the Pistons' attention.

The Mavericks attack first.

This time, Kidd passed the ball to Li Shengli without looking for opportunities on the outside. Li Shengli directly chose a jump shot after receiving the ball. Fat Miller, who was facing him, couldn't even touch the basket. How could he block Li Shengli and finally let the Mavericks win? After scoring a goal, and after the offense and defense changed sides, the Pistons attacked, and the drama finally began.

…

Almost three quarters in, the Pistons' offense was definitely initiated by Grant Hill, who didn't run away. But after the Mavericks switched defenses, Kidd was really desperately defending. Hill, who was unable to break out alone, had to transfer the ball to the special guard on the other side. Mills, and Mills stood up, took his legs, and rose from between the legs of Davis who was guarding him, and came up with a small, hidden kick.

boom!

There was a slight muffled sound, and Davis's face turned blue. He endured the severe pain in his lower body and did not fall down. Mills attacked and hit the iron, but the referee did not react. The rebound collapsed to the outside and was collected by Alan Houston.

"Davis, what are you doing on horseback?" Li Shengli was so angry that he was about to go crazy, because he had warned about this situation before going on the field, but Davis was still cheated by Mills without any 'excessive' reaction. .

What is Davis doing?

This is like not fighting back after being beaten!

When the Pistons heard Li Shengli's shouting to Davis, they laughed very excitedly and arrogantly, just like the Mavericks who were tirelessly attacking the matador in the bullring, allowing them to tease them. Alan Houston, who was holding the ball, was particularly excited. Provoking Crotty with words and actions again and again, making the Mavericks' situation extremely embarrassing.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your reputation!

Li Shengli really couldn't accept such a 'patient' teammate, and just as the ball was transferred to Alan Houston on the outside, he provoked Crotty very arrogantly, so Li Shengli directly said: "Crotty, come on, Give Davis an example and tell him... what to do at this time!"

…

The more you resist, the more excited you are!

This is a true portrayal of this game, and the Mavericks' reaction was a stimulant for the Pistons.

Alan Houston, who was so dirty just now that Kidd's whole body ached, accelerated to break through and tried to break through Crotty's defense. Crotty's dead-faced attack was in full Stockton mode, and he reached for Houston's crotch. , the iron-blooded attitude is very clear...either you will be intercepted by me, or you will be caught by me, or you will go back!

Houston's lower body went cold, and he retreated. When the second wave of single thrust was launched by the rising blood, Crotty directly pressed his leg into his path, put up a big knee and waited for him to hit him. His attitude was equally clear. ...My bones are harder than yours. If you don’t accept it, touch it. If you accept it, get out!

Damn, this guy is so dirty!

Houston was confused by Crotty's actions. You must know that Kidd was still sneaky, but Crotty came here with the purpose of killing him. The two faced each other and judged each other, and this time ... He was completely brain-congested, and he took off close to his body. It was the same dirty trick that Mills had just used to kick Crotty's crotch with his calf.

It’s over!

Crotty is in trouble!

Seeing this scene, Kidd, who had no experience in this area, suffered cardiac arrest at this moment. Crotty's expression suddenly changed. He blocked Houston's kick with his two knees and made a completely reasonable move. Self-defense action, and the next action is more reasonable...

Houston's kick affected his center of gravity, causing him to fall backwards and fall to the floor; Crotty's self-defense action also lost his center of gravity, staggered forward, and stepped on Houston's stomach with his first foot. Houston immediately sat up in pain, but failed. Rodty's center of gravity was still stable, and the second knee hit Houston directly in the face. It was so fast and accurate that Houston didn't even have time to cry out before he was completely unconscious.

…

Oh my God!

What's going on?

Did you get killed for playing dirty?

The home fans simply couldn't understand what happened, because it didn't look like Crotty did it on purpose, but no one would doubt that he did it unintentionally.

Well done!

The Mavericks didn't have any sympathy for Houston. On the contrary, the Pistons had a different stance and all they saw was Crotty's problem. So the confrontation between the two sides completely began in the third quarter. Everyone on the Pistons side except Dumars basically started to curse. The crowd was excited, and when the Mavericks saw this situation, Curry took the lead and immediately counterattacked, making the entire arena filled with smoke.

"Fuck you trash, is this how you play?"

"You piece of trash, even the trash can is cleaner than you, filthy thing!"

Terry Mills fired first, and the Pistons players on the bench next to him were waving towels and roaring.

That's it...you still feel you've been wronged?

Curry simply couldn't stand his opponent's shamelessness and led a group of teammates to fight back.

"Go home to your mother, you bitch!"

"Stop barking here. You don't know what you did?"

"Don't play dirty tricks, we have your ancestors here!"

…

crazy!

The home fans went crazy!

The two sides were squirting at each other with Houston lying on the ground, and even the substitutes off the court joined in the war of words. On the Mavericks side, Curry's fighting ability was unmatched. He began to cordially inquire about the physical condition of the other party's wife, but Li Shengli kept a cold face, thinking more than just the unexpected situation on the field!

In the Mavericks, it is impossible for everyone to be like Crotty. After all, Crotty's talent only exists in defense; but it is also impossible for everyone in the Mavericks to be like Davis, otherwise the entire team will be weak. The soft-ball style of play, and now the Mavericks not only need to reorganize the lineup, but also rebuild the style of play.

…

The game was paused, and Houston, who was injured and unconscious, was sent off the field on a stretcher, but the referee still issued a penalty, which was Crotty's defensive foul.

Just a defensive foul?

Not a flagrant foul?

This kind of penalty is intolerable to the fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills, but the referee can't do anything about it. Even calling the Houston foul on this ball is not wrong. After all, Houston's aggressive moves did occur, and it was before Crotty's move. The reason why a defensive foul was passed was because the home fans' feelings were taken into consideration.

…

The game continues.

The confrontation between the two sides has become intense. After the Pistons player who replaced Houston made a free throw, no friction broke out for the time being. Returning to the Mavericks' offense, at Li Shengli's signal, Kidd handed the ball to Davis, and it was obvious that, Everyone on the Mavericks side believes that... Davis has to go back to his opponents to get back the losses he suffered.

Davis singles against Mills?

Speaking of which, Davis still has some skills. He can't be said to be top-notch in low-post singles, but he can basically compete with Mills 50-50 in single attack and single defense without a black hand.

However, this presupposes that there is no evil hand!

The Pistons felt a little red-eyed because of Houston's withdrawal. Mills was not very active in blocking Davis when he turned his back to shoot, but he was still very active in sending his feet to Davis's landing point, but he was very active. As you can imagine... Davis landed unsteadily and collapsed on the ground. Even if he was not injured, this was not something ordinary people could endure, but Davis endured it.

…

Are you too magical?

Are you a tortoise when you step on a horse?

Li Shengli was so angry that Curry and Kidd were also surprised by Davis's determination, because everyone knew that Mills did it on purpose. Even if the referee saw that there was no conflict between the two parties and chose to turn a blind eye, Mills could not be covered up. aggressiveness.
