Chapter 188: Black Whistle
It was not the first time that Shaq was fouled on his own block, and it was not the first time that he was targeted by the referee throughout the game, as long as he defended Marbury no matter what the result was, the referee would award him a foul, plus this time, he had already committed 4 fouls.

The moment the referee saw Shaq rushing over, he was still a little scared in his heart, as the saying goes, the tiger is old and heroic, Shaq was a fierce man who dared to wrestle with Charles Barkley after all, and it would really be difficult to end up if he went crazy, but as soon as he remembered the order above, he still raised his hands high and made a T gesture.
"You bastard!" Shaq didn't care about anything at this point, he just wanted to tear this guy in front of him apart.
"Shaq! Don't be impulsive. Kobe, who was closest to Deshak, hugged him, "Do you want to be ejected?"
"But !!"
"Nothing. Kobe Bryant showed the majesty of a team's second child at this time, and walked in front of the referee after speaking, "Sir, I hope you can see a little more clearly next time, this game should not be interfered with by some off-court factors." ”
The referee saw that Shaq was no longer in danger, and he didn't want to go too far, in fact, Shak's words just now could have been directly expelled from the game, but he didn't want to give in in front of Kobe: "I know very well how to punish him, it's a foul." ”
Kobe Bryant wanted to say something more, but Lamar came over and stopped him: "Kobe, it's useless to say anything now, it's obvious that the one above wants to fix us." ”
"What now? Shaq has been fouled five times, and Grant's old fellow has been four. ”
Lamar thought for a moment and said, "It's easy! take them out with an attack and we'll get more points in this game." ”
Kobe Bryant smiled and said, "Good! I like it." ”
Phil Jackson saw that Shaq had been fouled five times, but there was still a full quarter before the end of the game, so he could only replace Anderson on the court, but Shaq refused.
"Let me stay on the field, have you ever heard of a tough guy who escapes?"
Phil Jackson looked at Shaq's resolute eyes, and could only nod in agreement, he had already guessed what Shaq was going to do.
Sure enough, when Marbury once again rushed inside with the ball, Shaq immediately pounced and hit Marbury hard in the ribs with an elbow.
"Ah!!h
Marbury fell to the ground with a scream, Shaq looked at him coldly, and said disdainfully: "Aren't you waiting for a while? Don't pretend, I know how much strength I used, and I couldn't beat your bones at all, and the rest should be left to the offensive maniac on our team to solve." ”
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to the referee behind him, and walked directly like a player's tunnel, tilting his head to accept the boos of the New Jersey fans all over the stadium and all kinds of debris thrown down by the spectators on both sides of the tunnel.
Lamar looked at Shaq's back and said to Kobe Bryant beside him, "It's tragic, isn't it?"
Kobe Bryant's eyes were almost frozen at this time: "Now it's our turn, we have to win the New Jersey Open by 20 points in this game." ”
Lamar looked at the scoreboard, there was only 1o minutes left, the score was 89:85, and the Lakers were now only 4 points ahead.
"20? It's a daunting task. ”
"What? Are you scared?"
Lamar looked at Kobe Bryant and suddenly smiled: "How come, I just think it's exciting." ”
"Let's go! Tell the cowards who only rely on the referee to win the game that the Lakers are coming!"
The horn of war has been sounded by Kobe, and the whole Lakers team has exploded with huge offensive ability in an instant, especially the team's offensive soul Kobe and Lamar, the two of them are like beasts that suddenly broke through the fence, showing their sharp minions, and the New Jersey Nets' basket has become the best food in their eyes.
And when the New Jersey Nets attacked, as long as Marbury got the ball, Chauncy and others would immediately greet him with their hands, and they wouldn't give him a chance to shoot at all, that is, free throws, holding up two scarred arms, Marbury could still maintain a few percent shooting rate?
At this time, the whole Lakers team has been red-eyed, and even Ramon Murray, who has always been a gentleman, has turned into a villain, and he will never be soft when he fouls, saying that he is close to Zhu and black, and Lamar has been staying for a long time and has begun to do everything, although he no longer has the position of the offensive core when he was on the Clippers, his data has not decreased at all, but the efficiency is higher than before.
Basketball flew back and forth over the New Jersey Nets' basket, and even Anderson was able to perform two consecutive aerial relays, but his performances were limited to these two times, and he was sent off for his sixth foul on Kenyon Martin on the next defensive occasion.
Anderson is not the first to be sent off, and certainly not the last, since Shaq was fouled for that block, this game has changed from full of gunpowder to bombarding each other with cannons, and the two sides have no concerns, and now the Lakers are ruthless, and would rather be fouled than prevent the New Jersey Nets from scoring.
Chauncey Billups was sent off, Horace Grant was also sent off, Phil Jackson sat motionless on the sidelines, the game was out of his control, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face, he always believed that as long as Lamar and Kobe Bryant were still on the court, then winning would not be a problem.
On the other hand, on the side of the Nets, the players on the court are not fighting with one heart, maybe Marbury is not popular in ordinary times, maybe they cherish their bodies, in short, gradually no one is willing to lend a helping hand to Marbury in distress. Jason Williams is because of the original injury, no matter how fierce he is, no one takes him seriously, Kenyon Martin is because he is a newcomer and pretends to be a grandson, as for Kyle Kittels, he is a wave of experts, and he is really unqualified to do such a technical thing as fouls.
The margin widened, and by the time the game was over with two minutes left, it had reached 22 points, and in those eight minutes, the New Jersey Nets had scored just four points from Marbury's free throws.
Kenyon Martin sat on the court with blank eyes, head coach Scott had already announced his surrender, Kenyon Martin didn't understand how things could have come to this point, just eight minutes ago he was still dreaming of overturning the Lakers at home to win, but in such a short eight minutes, everything changed, the Lakers team was like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves around their own basket and began to hunt, every time he wanted to save the team, Lamar would always appear in front of him like a ghost.
Looking at the scarred arms, Marbury's heart was also full of unwillingness, if he had a good helper by his side, things would definitely not unfold like this! When the time comes, it will definitely be himself who will win, and he will turn to look at the group of indifferent teammates around him, he even has an urge to press them all to the ground and beat them up. I wonder if Marbury will remember the big man in Minnesota at this moment?
The game ended with a 27-point victory for the Lakers, who walked away with the victory but left a lot of controversy.
New Jersey Nets head coach Byron Scott was particularly dissatisfied with the Lakers' rough defense in a post-game interview.
"I don't know if it's a basketball game or a wrestling game, I just see Marbury being brutally pulled by the opposing players again and again, and this kind of brutal and lethal defense shouldn't be on the NBA court at all, and I don't see what Coach Phil Jackson has done to transform this team, maybe he thinks that making the whole team more lethal than Bill Randle is a success, such a team is too dirty. ”
The first to hit back at his point was Lakers boss Shaq.
"He thinks the game is ugly, and he says our team is dirty, and he seems comfortable when he's in the league's care, like my block, anybody can see that it's definitely a good ball, but the referee, as the enforcer of the game, blatantly makes a defensive foul! This is dirty! And we've been treated unfairly many times before that, and that's the real dirty. ”
Then Phil Jackson responded, pointing the finger at the top of the league.
"I'm so proud of my team, they played an amazing game, rough? no, that's not right at all! Basketball is a men's sport, it's normal to fight fiercely on the court, I don't feel rough, and as for Coach Scott saying that I made the Lakers into a team that has always been dirty, I would say that if I had fifteen players with great skills but soft sheep, I'd rather lead this dirty team now. ”
The last player to play was Kobe Bryant, who scored 37 points in the game, and he contributed 18 points to the team in the final quarter.
"We won, that's it, nothing dirty, nothing dirty, if we win, we won! And we didn't play ugly at all, didn't you see that even Chris's guy could score 8 points? This is proof, we are not a team that has always relied on defense, we have offensive blood in the bones of the whole team, I really don't understand how such a team can be called dirty!"
"Of course, there is a dirty side to this game, and the referee's care of the New Jersey Nets has made us all angry, and since successful defense will be judged as a foul, then we might as well be happy with a direct foul, I think Mr. Stern should reflect on it, how can someone like that become a referee in the league?"
In the face of such an environment, Lamar will certainly not be let go by reporters.
When asked what he thought of Kenyon Martin, Lamar was uncharacteristically uncharacteristically non-cynical.
