NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

   Chapter 223 The influence of a cubit

  Because the movement was big, the time was very fast, and players from both teams were injured and left the field, the referee and two vice referees came to the record table and repeatedly studied the playback.

   The final penalty came out. Fareed committed a second-level malicious foul and was directly sent off. The Blazers made two free throws and one throw, because when reviewing the video, everyone could see that Fareed was definitely intentionally causing physical contact.

   Of course, he had already gone down.

   However, Fareed, who is in a coma, still needs to be mentally prepared. After the game, he will definitely be fined by the league, and he will be suspended according to the league review.

   As for Wang Zelin, he was sentenced to a first-level malicious foul, and the Nuggets also got a chance to match the two free throws.

   However, Nuggets coach George Karl was not happy at all, and his face was gloomy.

   The injury of the starting main team is unclear and the return date is undetermined. The Nuggets' plan to rush for the best record in team history in the second half of the season may have to be stranded.

   in the audience.

   "Shhh! Deserving it, scumbag on tiptoe!"

   "This kind of deliberately stepping on your feet, this is your retribution!"

   "I just don't know how Wang's injury is, will it affect the next game?"

   At the moment when the penalty came out, the Rose Garden booed in a uniform manner, and there were even violent fans yelling!

   Originally a small group of fans who had a little sympathy for Farid's injury, after watching the replay, all that was left was anger.

The    replay clearly shows that he deliberately put his foot forward.

   In other words, it is a deliberate step!

This is an extremely dangerous move in the NBA. Professional basketball players are generally heavier than ordinary people. If they lose their balance when they land, they may injure ligaments, or even miss a few months. .

   And most of the achievements of the Blazers this season are inseparable from Wang Zelin in the interior. If he is seriously injured and the season is reimbursed, then the Blazers' season will be over.

   The current lineup and record can guarantee them to enter the playoffs, but in the playoffs, they can only be reduced to someone else's meal.

   Fortunately, after the team doctor's report came out, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Coach Terry won the consent of the general manager of Orsi, who was watching the game, and showed it to the fans through the big screen.

   The injury is almost the same as Aldridge, the first-degree ankle sprain requires at least two weeks of rehabilitation, but Wang Zelin injured his left foot.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was only two weeks. Even if the Trail Blazers’ record dropped slightly, the overall impact would not be too big. Moreover, Aldridge has one week left to pay, so the Blazers only need to spend the next most difficult week. , the situation will improve.

   on the field.

  Coach Terry Stotts looked at the players on the bench. The strength gap between backup centers Jared Jeffries and Joel Freeland and Wang Zelin was too great. They were all small characters who could only play in garbage time.

   It seems that the management must find a better substitute for Wang Zelin during the offseason.

   This is like getting used to the high-speed train in China and suddenly going to Tianzhu to take the train.

   is simply a torment!

   After thinking for a while, I made a decision in my heart.

   "Luke, move on, get ready to play!"

   then looked at Mike Roberts: "Mike, next you play No. 5, and you will play the last two quarters. I don't ask you to rule the penalty area like a king, just play your characteristics."

   "And all of you, run for me. The Nuggets are known as the track and field team, and we are no worse than them."

  Terry Stotts waved his hand and placed a small lineup.

   Lillard + Connet Lee + Batum + Luke Babbitt + Mike Roberts!

   This lineup has all five players and has outstanding athletic ability. It may not be as good as the Nuggets on defense, but it is definitely more than enough to fight offense.

   At this time, there are 3 minutes and 47 seconds before the end of the first half. With such a lineup in advance, Terry Stotts also wants to see how it works.

   If possible, play like this in the second half.

   If not, there is enough time for the third trial.

   Home locker room.

  Wang Zelin, who was lying on the bed receiving ice, turned on the TV to watch the next game, when the door suddenly rang.

   "Dad! Mom! And Reina, why are you here?"

   stood up and saw that the people who came were the royal father, mother and girlfriend.

   Next, I learned that the two old men were able to come in and visit Wang Zelin after they identified themselves to the team management.

   "You, you, I don't know how to pay attention. You are so badly injured, are you feeling better now..."

  As soon as the Queen Mother came in, the caring words in her mouth could not stop.

   "I'm fine, Mom, the guy on the other side was hurt more than me!" Wang Zelin said with a smile.

   "Pay more attention in the future!"

   Reina warned at this time.

   Father Wang has not spoken since he came in, very silent, but from time to time he turned his head to look at Wang Zelin's eyes, always with deep concern.

  …

  In the second half, after losing Wang Zelin as the backbone, the Trail Blazers' inside attack and defense both dropped a grade. Under the iron bucket defense of the Nuggets, their offensive efficiency was average, and mistakes were made from time to time.

  Terry Stotts is no match for the old fritters George Carr after all.

  The Nuggets have formed a unified and effective offensive and defensive system under the careful training and training of George Karl, and the half-orc Fareed's status and influence are not as good as Wang Zelin's, and the impact on the players on the field is not as big as imagined.

   In contrast, the Blazers are much worse.

   At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets overtook the Trail Blazers 82:79.

  In the last quarter, Iguodala and Wilson Chandler staged dunks one after another, and the Blazers could never find a way to limit the Nuggets' score.

  Lillard made a dunk and caused a foul to stage 2+1. After that, he made a long-range three-pointer from the outside. The Blazers chased the difference to only one point. The fans seemed to see hope of overtaking.

   But in the following time, the two sides fell into a stalemate on the offensive end. In the end, the old-fashioned Andre Iguodala stood up, stole Batum, assisted Ty Lawson and made a fast-break layup, expanding the point difference to 4 points.

   I have to admit that the consecutive absences of Aldridge and Wang Zelin made the Blazers panic. They took a breath at a critical moment and finally lost the game with a score of 105:111.

Lillard, one of the three young men still on the field, was successfully strangled by Ty Lawson and Iguodala. After 41 minutes of play, he made 9 of 22 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, and won. A double-double of 24 points and 10 assists.

  I don't know when it started, Lillard used to have Wang Zelin and Aldridge in front of him.

   In the Blazers' previous games, he often had to play his normal level to win the game. He didn't have to do his best as he did in college, and he didn't necessarily guarantee the team's final victory.

  Lillard, who has gradually become accustomed to the status of the third child, will inevitably have dependence in his heart, which leads to his strength may not be worse than the original history, or even slightly stronger, but his heart is not as strong as before.

   Wang Zelin, who watched the whole game in the locker room, also noticed this, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

   It's certainly a good thing to be in his shoes, because it represents Lillard and recognizes his status as the boss.

   But if you look at it from the standpoint of Lillard of the original world...

   Or, only time will know the answer!

  …

In the audience, Ty Lawson made 12 of 22 shots and scored a team-high 30 points, Andre Iguodala scored 26 points on 10 of 20 shots, Costa Cuver scored 11 points, and Chandler scored 10 points. Anthony Randolph on the bench had 10 points, Andre Miller had 8...

   Except for Ty Lawson and Iguodala, the Nuggets scored more evenly, especially from the bench, with a total of 27 points.

   On the Blazers side, the main players scored 87 points, and only 4 people from the bench scored. Among them, Eric Maynor scored 6 points, Will Barton scored 5 points, and everyone else added up to 7 points.

  18:27, the score difference between the two teams on the bench is 9 points, which is one of the important reasons for the loss of the Blazers.

   At the press conference after the game, Terry Stotts and George Karl arrived at almost the same time.

  The Blazers are Lillard.

  Although he failed to lead the Blazers to maintain the lead and win, he played almost the entire game tonight and scored a double-double of 26 points and 10 assists. The efficiency was also good, and he was understood by many Portland fans.

   This is one of the benefits of non-core players!

   Lillard has Wang Zelin and Aldridge in front of him after all. Considering the existence of objective factors, the Trail Blazers have lost troops and personnel are uneven. As long as he shows his due level, he will not be questioned by the outside world.

   is quite similar to Lillard's later situation.

As we all know, Lillard has always been loved by the majority of fans. In addition to the rare adherence to one person, one city in the era of superstars, the key is that even the most loyal fans have never had too high expectations for him. .

   It hurts a bit, but it is true.

Because the Blazers' lineup ceiling is there, Lillard can lead the team to the playoffs, even if they pass the second round. Fans scramble to celebrate. Entering the Western Conference Finals is just like winning the finals. The performance is called a joy.

   At this moment + this situation, an old man in his thirties begged for praise with tears!

On the Nuggets side, Ty Lawson and Iguodala, who scored 56 points together, both attended.

   But the protagonists of the press conference are not destined to be players. At the beginning of the press conference, the coaches of the two teams scolded the streets like shrew, vying to accuse the other players of violating sportsmanship.

   "Elbowing a player until he fainted, I suspect the Blazers' No. 36 rookie has serious violent tendencies! We will definitely ask the league for his punishment!"

   "You must know that my players are still lying in the infirmary and unable to move, and the price is just a first-degree malicious foul. This kind of penalty is simply covering up criminals!"

  George Carl took a bite back when he came up, showing that he deliberately ignored Farid's intentional foul suspicion, focusing on the seriousness of Farid's injury, and then trying to win the sympathy of the outside world.

   For the injured, people will more or less have a trace of sympathy.

  Tristos naturally understood this truth, took the words and quickly counterattacked.

"What I want to say is whether the Nuggets should do some self-examination before blaming others. Cornes Farid played well in the first quarter, why did he suddenly take such a despicable and unsportsmanlike act of deliberately tiptoing? ,Worth pondering!"

   Obviously, Terry Stotts wanted to pull George Karl, who was hiding behind his back, into the water, and deliberately led the media to think in this regard.

   "Slander! Outright slander! He's slandering us!

   Coach Karl is definitely not such a person, if you can blame it, you can only blame Cornes himself..."

  Unexpectedly, George Karl didn't see any movement, but Ty Lawson yelled.

  No, why are you yelling so loudly?

   "Pfft!"

  Someone in the reporter group below burst out laughing.

   "What the **** is he doing?"

  Karl George's face darkened, he turned to look at Iguodala, and whispered.

"I do not know!"

  Iguodala was also dumbfounded.

   Originally, Farid's footsteps can be said to be careless, and the dead duck's mouth is hard, but Ty Lawson's overreaction was almost a deliberate step on Farid's feet, and even George Carl began to be questioned.

   "Wait," Iguodala suddenly thought that Ty Lawson came out of the bathroom with a look of alcohol on his face, this guy shouldn't drink it, right?

"What's wrong?"

  Iguodala hesitantly said: "He seems to have had two drinks in the locker room before he came out."

  “…”

   Pig teammates!

  George Karl lowered his head in despair.

   How addicted to alcohol Ty Lawson is, everyone in the Nuggets knows that George Carr has banned alcohol from Ty Lawson more than once, but the latter has repeatedly taught him how to drink. In the end, he has no choice but to turn a blind eye.

   But only if the team wins.

   In the past, this practice was a disguised way to motivate Ty Lawson. After all, if he wanted the horse to run, how could he not feed him grass.

   But now it seems that the horse is too full to eat and faint!

   On the side, Ty Lawson, who was still yelling, was unaware of his behavior of making a truck, and he was still thinking in his heart: I have maintained the prestige of the coach, maybe I can drink a few more drinks in the future.

   "Cough, cough, I remembered, there are still things to deal with, and this is the end of today's press conference."

After    dealt with the reporter a few words, Carl George and Iguodala dragged Ty Lawson and left the scene.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

   "I laughed so hard, I didn't expect such a pig teammate to exist!"

   Now that the Nuggets have walked away, Terry Stotts and Lillard looked at each other and let out a long-suppressed frantic laugh.

   "Ok, alright, calm down, we should go too." Tony Douglas, the director of the public relations department next to him, reminded with a blushing face.

   "Understood, umm..." Terry Stotts resumed expression management and said, "Tony, the next campaign will be handed over to your public relations department."

   "Don't worry, we understand!"

   The two smiled tacitly. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

   Immediately after the end of the game, the league and the media had a heated discussion about the game.

   Among them, major sports media released professional comments overnight, experts from all walks of life also expressed their views on this, and even some team management and players joined in the fun.

   "There's no doubt that this was a sleazy game! It's been a while since the Blazers' rookie joined the league, and there have been several catastrophic events that no one wants to see! He's a born thug!"

  ESPN commentator Kamara wrote in his personal column "The Birth of a Villain! " for the title, published thousands of words of opinion.

  The remarks on Kamala's blog quickly attracted a lot of attention.

   But not long after, a reporter from the Chinese Dynasty pointed out that Kamara used the term "Chinaman" with obvious insults many times in a game between the Nets and the Magic in 2009... This guy is a veteran.

   At the time, he was a commentator at the Turner Company to which he belonged, and later, under pressure, he had to make a public apology.

   Now I have come to ESPN with a different company, but the dog can't change it and eat shit.
