I am Really an Insider

"Another riot. Bruce was carried off the court twice in a game. Did he set a new NBA record?"

Cole looked at the chaotic court and shook his head speechlessly.

Bowen was definitely the best player in the game today, and he didn't run away.

His performance today can be summed up in one word - wonderful!

He had obviously been beaten once, yet he came back specially to receive a second beating...

Carter didn't watch the live broadcast of this game, otherwise he would have celebrated wildly for three days and three nights, and would have given the pennant to Wayne and Artest.

What's even more speechless is that Spurs coach Popovich also left the game due to injury.

Well, we have seen many players leave the game due to injuries, and it is not uncommon for coaches to be ejected due to technical fouls.

But the coach left the game due to injury. Anyway, this was the first time I met Cole.

At this time, there were still blood stains left by Popovich on the floor of the Spurs bench.

and two teeth.

The number one coach in the NBA whose teeth have been knocked out by his players is none other than Popovich.

Budenholzer stepped in and became the interim head coach.

But at this time, the Spurs had no intention of fighting anymore.

Everyone is worried about Bowen and Popovich.

After all, this was the second time Bowen was beaten, and Popovich is so old, God knows whether he will be in serious trouble.

Of course, most fans' evaluation of Popovich's experience is that it is his own fault.

Except for Spurs fans, few people will feel sorry for him.

After all, without Bowen to step in, would Wayne lose his focus?

If Wayne doesn't lose his focus, will he overwhelm Popovich?

In the final analysis, it was Uncle Bao's fault.

In this wave, it can be said that Wayne played very cleanly, and even the slow-motion replay did not find any flaws.

So what if the camera caught Wayne laughing at the end? Does the laughter have to be intentional? Can't I mock the other coach?

What's more, Wayne still hasn't seen the footage of himself smiling at Popovich, so he probably wasn't captured.

And Artest's straight punch of justice was even more impactful.

In the replay on the big screen at the scene, the moment Artest's fist hit Bowen, Bowen's entire face was distorted.

Cole felt pain when he saw it. Not only Bowen felt pain, but Artest's hand probably also hurt.

Do you really think that the purpose of boxing gloves is to protect your opponent? No, that is also used to protect the fist.

Artest's bare fist hit his head directly, and Tomjanovich said he felt very uncomfortable after watching it.

Of course, most fans cheered and shouted with excitement.

Bowen was finally beaten. This was a good thing that everyone was celebrating!

Chinese fans are now willing to call Artest Taibo!

Stand up for Chinese players and you are a friend of the Pandas.

"Fuck, Ron lost control again." In the luxury box, Donnie Walsh was really convinced.

Capitalized service.

Artest is definitely one of the players who has missed the most games without injury this season.

With that punch just now, Artest will definitely be suspended for more than ten games, or even more.

"He just wants to protect his teammates, Downey. He has improved a lot." Bird didn't care too much. At least this time, Artest didn't lose his temper.

"You can't indulge them like this, Larry, they've done too many things. You don't want us to become the next Portland Trail Blazers, do you?" Walsh obviously disagreed with Bird's point of view.

"That's what teammates are, Donnie, you don't understand."

"I" Walsh was so shocked that he was speechless. It's amazing that you have played in the NBA!

On the court, the staff responsible for cleaning the floor couldn't believe what they had experienced today.

First they cleaned the foul-smelling yellow water stain, and now they have to clean the blood stains on the bench.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were cleaning the battlefield.

At this time, on the Pacers' bench, Carlisle also decided to let Wayne go back to the locker room to rest.

"What? I can still fight! I'm really not injured."

"No, I can't take any more risks. Go back, Wei. Watch Ron by the way, lest he smash our locker room to pieces." Carlisle's attitude was very determined. He had just seen Wayne's ankle hurt in a very scary way. The angle was twisted.

Therefore, he felt that Wayne just wanted to grit his teeth and persevere.

Whether Wayne was injured or not was not decided by Wayne, nor by Carlisle.

We have to wait until professional medical examination is done after the game to judge.

Wayne had no way to defend himself. He couldn't tell Carlisle that I had a body of steel.

So, he stood up and silently walked off the court amidst the cheers of the fans.

Well, limping off the field.

So difficult to act

After Wayne walked into the reporter-free area of ​​the tunnel, he was finally able to walk normally.

He hurried to the locker room and opened the door to the locker room.

Wayne originally thought that the angry Artest would make a mess in the locker room. After all, Artest had a habit of smashing things when he was angry.

In high school, he once reduced the stands to rubble. Last season, Artest was heavily fined by the league for smashing a photographer's camera.

But to Wayne's surprise, the locker room was very tidy and had not been touched by anyone.

As for Artest, he just took off his jersey and put it on the ground, sitting there quietly.

His eyes were empty and confused, just like when Wayne first met him.

Yes, emotions go from 0 to 100, and then from 100 to 0, with no increasing or decreasing process in between.

This is Artest, he can go from being the most gentle and kind, soft-spoken to suddenly being the opposite of that.

You can also instantly change from a ferocious beast to a docile Ron.

"Wei, are you okay? What did the team doctor say?" Wayne stood next to Artest for a long time, and Artest finally realized that Wayne was beside him.

"Thank God, I think I'm not injured, Ron." Wayne squatted down and looked at Artest, who had regained his composure.

"Thank you, man." With that, Wayne held Artest in his arms.

Wayne is really grateful to Artest.

Even though he's usually pretty cool, the way he just rushed up and beat Bowen was really cool.

In this league, not everyone will stand up for their teammates.

In fact, 80% of teammates have just ordinary colleague relationships.

There are very few people who can truly become friends in private and stand up for each other.

Didn’t you know that in the future, when Yang Shaoxia was with the Lakers, he would experience the famous scene of being beaten 5-1 by the Suns.

When Wayne was hurt, Artest dared to be the first to rush forward to fight. This is no longer a matter of rationality, this is a matter of not caring about you as a teammate.

"There's nothing to thank you for. You stood up for me last time at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I said I would be more decisive than Carter. You see, I didn't break my promise." Artest also hugged Wayne.

Wayne was the first person in Artest's basketball career who did not blame him after a fight, but instead said thank you to him.

Why is Artest only close to Wayne in the Pacers?

Because he felt Wayne understood him.

Don't treat him like a nuisance and a freak.

It is the code of conduct in the Queensbridge District to protect brothers.

Artest just did what he thought was right.

The final minutes of the game were played out quickly as Wayne and Artest thanked each other.

Although the Pacers are missing Artest and Wayne, two important players, the Spurs are also feeling uneasy because they are missing Popovich and Bowen.

The Spurs' minds are no longer on the game. They just want to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, so the players are in very average condition.

On the other hand, for the Pacers, after both Wayne and Artest were unable to continue the game, Reggie Miller stood up as the soul of the team and killed everyone in the fourth quarter!

Miller's rebounding performance at the end of the season was clearly reflected in this game.

In the end, the elder Miller scored a team-high 26 points, helping the Pacers win the Spurs with a 9-point advantage.

This also means that the Pacers have won their longest 10-game winning streak of the season!

But at this time, no one cares about the 10-game winning streak.

After the game, everyone rushed back to the locker room to check on Wayne and Artest.

Xiao Ao, as the captain, is naturally the most anxious one.

Then he opened the door and saw Wayne and Artest hugging each other.

"Well, why is it different from what you imagined? Also, why do you feel so redundant?" Xiao Ao was in a mess at the door of the locker room.

"Hey, Jermaine, have we won?" Wayne stood up immediately, which relieved Xiao O's embarrassment.

"Win, win. Are you okay, Wayne."

"It's okay. How can Bowen hurt me?" Wayne smiled and shrugged.

"Ron" Then, Xiao Ao walked up to Artest again.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll just hit him, what the hell!

Don't be nagging in front of me, I don't regret it! Put away your captaincy sermons, Jermaine. "Artest waved his hand at Xiao Ao angrily.

Sure enough, Artest had completely different attitudes towards Wayne and others.

Xiao Ao actually wanted to ask Artest if his hand was injured. After all, the bare boxing was so heavy that his own hand might be broken.

But it looks like that guy is very nice, so don’t worry!

Although he was scolding "idiot", Xiao Ao still patted Artest on the shoulder.

This time, he had no intention of blaming Artest.

At this time, most of the Pacers players walked in, and Wayne and Artest became the center of attention.

On the other side, the Spurs players were immediately surrounded by a strong smell of smoke after returning to the locker room.

Although Bowen had just cleaned himself up, the shorts and underpants he wore before were still in the locker room.

Absolutely amazing!

"Where's Bruce?" Manu looked around and found that he could only smell his scent in the locker room, but no one was there.

"Sent to the hospital." Popovich replied as he was cleaning his mouth.

"Huh? He squirted again!?" Manu looked shocked.

"His nose is broken!" Popovich gave the Argentinian a look of disdain. He had no idea!

Do you really want to see Bowen get beaten up?

"Oh, oh, that's really tragic. Pop, are you okay?" Manu approached Popovich again.

Then it was discovered that Popovich’s front teeth were missing.

No wonder Popovich was talking very strangely from the beginning. It turned out to be a leak!

"On purpose, that bastard Wayne did it on purpose!" Popovich did not answer Manu's question, because it was clear at a glance whether he was good or not.

"What? You mean, he hit you on purpose?" Duncan was confused. Didn't Wayne accidentally overpower Popovich?

"When I came off the field, he smiled at me and winked at me! Ma Dan was so arrogant, I really hope he is retiring for the season!" Popovich was so angry that he will never forget Wayne's arrogant expression.

If Wayne had suffered a serious ankle injury, Popovich would have jumped to his feet and applauded!

result

"The ankle has been checked and there is nothing serious. I will continue to play in the next game."

At the post-game press conference, Wayne responded to his injury.

Popovich is so angry that that guy Wayne didn't do anything!

Bowen was beaten to shit and had his nose broken, and Popovich had two front teeth knocked out.

And what about Wayne? He just received a painless first-level flagrant foul today!

Is there any royal method? ?

"So, what do you think of Ron's behavior of punching Bruce Bowen? By the way, was Bruce really, uh, beaten out of his excrement on the court today?"

Faced with this question, Wayne's expression immediately became serious: "I don't know if you have heard of a joke. If all the active players in the NBA are put into a cage at this time, they must fight each other to decide who is the last one to be released. Come out. I don't know who will survive to the end, but I'm sure the first one to die will be Bruce.

It's no secret that he's a scumbag and a wimp. He tried to hurt me on purpose, but ended up hurting himself instead.

If I had to comment, I would just say that Ron only punched him once, so he was lucky. If he does it again next time, I won't be so polite to him.

As for the excrement, oh my god, you can't imagine what it smelled like on the court.

It's really disgusting, I suggest the league permanently ban such players. Otherwise, fans will have to wear oxygen masks to watch Spurs games in the future. "

Several reporters below almost couldn't hold back their laughter. The fact that Bowen was beaten up will really make him famous for at least a year and a half, or for a lifetime!

In the future, when other players face Bowen, they can use this trash talk: "You don't want to get shit from me, man."

Absolute force can cause 120% psychological damage!

On the other side, Popovich was complaining about his players and himself: "Xiang was beaten out, Xiang was beaten out, and Wayne wasn't even suspended!?"

Popovich is unwilling to give in. Even if Wayne is not injured, doesn't he have to be suspended?

At this time, Bowen, who was in the hospital, wanted to crush Popovich to death.

Stop talking, stop talking! If you say that, the whole world will know that I was beaten to death!

Originally this was an uncertain matter, and there was room for justification.

Well now, Quan Nima was hammered by you at the press conference!

"Wei's attack on me was intentional. He actually laughed at me when I was about to leave! What a despicable act!"

"You said Wei attacked you on purpose. Do you have any evidence? Pop."

"The footage from the scene is the evidence!"

"However, the live footage did not capture Wayne's face, only you passing by the Pacers bench. And it was you who blocked Wayne. You said Wayne's behavior was despicable, but it was Bowen who He stepped in first, right? What do you think of Bowen’s behavior, Pop, Pop!?”

Popovich angrily turned away from the press conference and did not continue to answer questions.

Can you still answer? High blood pressure will make you angry!

Oh, the co-author made such a big fuss today, but it didn’t have any impact on Wayne at all!

Bowen's nose bone and his two front teeth were all in vain! ?

The angry Popovich gritted his teeth, but found that he couldn't even grit his teeth tightly because they were leaking!

It just adds fuel to the fire!

He now desperately hopes the Pacers can reach the Finals.

When an all-out Spurs appears in front of the Pacers, Popovich believes that he can trample the dignity of the Pacers on the stage of the Finals!

The two teams, which could be said to have had nothing in common, ended up having a rift.

I believe that the next time the two sides meet, the level of attention for the game will definitely be completely different from what it is now.

In the NBA league, there is another pair of mortal enemies.
