Chapter 115: The head breaks and the blood flows
O'Neal is holding the ball more and more, and Anjie is putting more pressure on the defensive end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although An Jie is strong-willed and does work hard, O'Neill can always squeeze out space with his huge body and score points on An Jie's head again and again.
And Anjie did not show weakness on the offensive end, because Westbrook and Durant both went off the court to save their strength for the fourth quarter of the showdown, so Anjie once again became the first choice of the Thunder. There are frequent singles between the two centers, and I can't watch a few games with this rhythm in the current NBA in a season.
O'Neal used his shoulder to push An Jie to make a layup, and An Jie deceived O'Neal with a virtual turn.
Angel couldn't do anything about O'Neal's 147 kilograms, and O'Neill was also made big by Anjie's flexible and smooth movements. By the end of the third quarter, O'Neal had scored 19 points, while Anjie also had 15 points.
In the face of the big shark's defense, An Jie scored 15 points in the third quarter of the game, and the commentators in Chinese mainland were again touted by the sky. Some TV stations in the United States said that Anjie's data was only inflated, because at least six or seven of the 15 points were scored against Admundson.
In the third quarter, both sides scored high points again, and the scores in a single quarter were once again over 30. 87-92, the Thunder still trailed by five points. Just looking at the score, many people will think that the game is over, but in fact, the two teams still have a full 12-minute game to play.
In the fourth quarter, Stoudemire, who had been on the bench for a long time, appeared again. It's troublesome enough for the Suns to have O'Neal on the inside, and Angel doesn't want to be attacked on his back.
and Joe Smith made eye contacts, and the two silently began to switch positions!
"Coach Jeff Van Gundy, what kind of strategy is this, how did the person who defends O'Neal become Joe Smith?" Mike Brin looked at the Thunder's two interior positions in confusion, not only Mike Brin, this sudden change of position made all the commentators confused.
No matter what the Thunder plan, the strength gap is there. O'Neal couldn't have made it easier to beat Joe Smith?
Nash hoisted the basketball into the penalty area without thinking about it, and for O'Neal, it was perfectly fine not to bombard!
O'Neal repeated his old tricks, caught the ball and turned around, but when he was in the frame, An Jie made up for it, and O'Neal let himself fall into the bag as soon as he turned around.
In fact, Anjie and O'Neal have been keeping a close distance, so that he can assist Joe Smith in the defense, but he does not get entangled with these two men. Anjie is standing like this in order to be able to make up for it quickly, because his real target is not O'Neal.
Seeing that Stoudemire, who was unattended and cutting inside, raised his hand to ask for the ball, O'Neill barely managed to pass the ball, which was not passed well, and Stoudemire could not receive the ball comfortably, so he had to reduce the speed of the inward cut. However, this gave Anjie time to take his place.
"It's now!" Seeing that Xiaobawang held the basketball firmly and began to take three steps, An Jie stood under the basket with a big stride from O'Neal's side. An Jie covered his crotch with his hands, he knew that Stoudemire, who was already on the rise, would not stop moving.
Sure enough, although he saw that An Jie was already standing in the three-second zone, Stoudemire still jumped towards the inside line. Xiaobawang doesn't think about it so much, as long as he gets the opportunity, he will definitely choose to attack the frame.
However, he was able to get his chances, but it was part of the overall defensive strategy. The strong inertia after the Stoudemire jumped saved An Jie from even faking a fall, and Xiaobawang and An Jie both fell to the ground, looking like they had fallen quite badly.
It was really serious, Stoudemire's impact made An Jie's chest feel tight, and he was slammed backwards and fell to the ground, and he also slid on the floor for a distance, which made An Jie's back hurt hotly.
When the referee's whistle blew, Stoudemire thought it was a defensive foul because he didn't believe Anjie could get his feet in such a short period of time, and Anjie must not have been able to stand up when he blocked him.
The referee went over the footage several times, as it would be directly related to whether Stoudemire would be able to play. In the end, after rewatching the replay four times, the referee team unanimously agreed that by the time Stoudemire bumped into it, Anjie had already stood firm.
"Offensive foul! The referee awarded an offensive foul! Stoudemire's foul count has reached five, and if there is another one, he will have to withdraw from the game!"
Stoudemire was very angry when he looked at An Jie's innocent expression, this damn boy was not the first time he had done this. But this time An Jie really didn't pretend, and Stoudemire's impact really made An Jie fall enough. At first, he wanted to fake a fall, but later he found that An Jie, the little bully with a hot head, didn't need to do it at all.
If O'Neill hadn't been there, Stoudemire would have taken the initiative to apply to defend Anjie, and it would be really difficult to understand the hatred in his heart if he didn't give this Chinese a little color.
However, this time the attack Anjie fell to a high position and did not continue to fight with O'Neal.
"You'll regret it!" According to Terry Porter's arrangement, Anjie who holds the ball in the high post belongs to him, a block or a steal, anyway, Stoudemire must make Anjie pay the price.
Bad temper, this factor that has nothing to do with basketball has become the fatal weakness of Xiaobawang at the moment.
"Hey, I don't want to fight you, you can't stop me, change Shaq. Anjie made a triple threat with the ball, but opened his mouth to talk to Stoudemire.
When An Jie said this, Stoudemire suddenly became angry. Anjie did not waste time and started the breakthrough. Seeing Stoudemire's dark and purple face, An Jie knew that he had succeeded.
Anjie did not completely get rid of Stoudemire's defense, he leaned on Stoudemire's body and jumped directly to the basket, and his elbow "inadvertently" hit Stoudemire's abdomen.
Xiaobawang was already angry, but now he has eaten a dark elbow, and he can't control himself anymore. During the aerial confrontation, Stoudemire suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed An Jie out directly.
"Bastard!" An Jie didn't expect Stoudemire to be so ruthless, and actually pushed himself away in the air without concealment. An Jie, who was unsteady in his center of gravity, fell heavily to the ground, and after gliding on the smooth wooden floor for some distance, An Jie suddenly felt a heavy blow to his brain, and he suddenly felt that the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was full of ghosts.
"What the are you doing!" Joe Smith, who had long been unhappy with Stoudemire's arrogant attitude, was the first to rush up and smack Stoudemire with his chest when he saw his little brother being bullied.
"Don't bother me!" Stoudemire was already a barrel of dynamite that had been lit by Angel, and he pushed away Joe Smith, who was much older than him, and pointed at Smith and yelled.
The referee immediately intervened, and more and more Thunder and Suns players also joined the ranks of persuasion.
An Jie felt that his face was a little hot, and when he wiped it with his hand, An Jie's palms were full of hot blood.
Morris, who was watching the TV, clenched his fists, and if he was on the field, he would definitely beat that guy named Stoudemire to the ground!
Catherine covered her mouth with both hands, under the deliberate force of Stoudemire, An Jie fell not lightly, and Catherine is most worried about An Jie's health now.
"Hey!Ann!Can you hear me!?" Westbrook spotted Angel with a bloody face, and after being pushed down by Stoudemire, the huge inertia caused Ander's head to hit the corners of the basketball hoop. Although the basketball hoop was wrapped in a layer of soft padding, the force was enough for the basketball hoop to break An Jie's head because Stoudemire didn't spare any strength at all.
Gradually, An Jie finally heard the noise and shouts around him, and it seemed that this time it was indeed not light.
Stoudemire was immediately whistled by the referee for a first-degree malicious foul and was ejected due to the full number of fouls, at this moment he not only did not obediently go back to the locker room, but was full of foul language and reasoning with the referee. Even Terry Porter had to intervene to prevent Stoudemire from getting into even more trouble.
"This guy should be banned for life!"
"Damn, if something happens to Anjie, you won't be able to take off your claws. ā
Chinese fans in front of the TV also scolded Stoudemire, Yao Ming had a conflict with him before, and his image in the hearts of Chinese fans has always been bad. As a result, he has now managed to become one of the most hated NBA players among Chinese fans.
In order to save its reputation, the NBA banned various television stations from airing Angel's bloodied face, and only replayed Stoudemire's foul over and over again. Therefore, after Stoudemire was expelled from the field, the camera has never been given to Anjie. In fact, An Jie's bleeding was not large, but it was only because he wiped it with his hand that he wiped the blood all over his face.
"It's okay Russell, Kevin, you don't have to hold me. Anjie covered the wound with a towel, he was fully conscious, but Westbrook and Durant still helped him to the court.
Although An Jie felt fine, the NBA did not allow players who were still bleeding to play, not even nosebleeds. Second, Jeff Van Gundy is also very uneasy, he will not rush to let Anjie play without a thorough inspection.
Several team doctors immediately tested An Jie to ensure that An Jie was conscious at the moment. What shook the arm, recognized that the team doctor stretched out his finger and had a few of this test, and of course Anjie did not have any problems.
After that, the team doctor immediately stopped the bleeding, and when all this happened, the game on the field had already returned to normal, but the anxious audience in front of the TV had not been able to see any footage about An Jie.
'It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just a normal skin injury, if you're not at ease you will have a thorough check-up after the game, and now he can sit on the bench. "After the team doctor had done everything, he also reported the situation to Van Gundy.
Van Gundy nodded and motioned for An Jie to sit down and rest, now that the game has come to a critical moment, Van Gundy is too busy on both sides.
Watching the team doctor leave the court and An Jie sat on the bench in a dignified manner, the Thunder fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Without Anjie, the Thunder's interior defense has regressed to the level of a ten-game losing streak. O'Neal did whatever he wanted under the basket, but neither Collison nor Petro could stop the big shark from biting at the basket.
Although Durant and Westbrook fought to catch up, their offense became much more difficult than they had just after the lack of effective organization and containment.
"Boss, I'm really fine. An Jie was also anxious off the field, he brushed his hair away, and signaled that Van Gundy's wound was no longer bleeding.
It is not child's play to suffer a heavy blow to the head, not to mention that An Jie was still unconscious for a few seconds just now. Van Gundy will not risk his players, and if something goes wrong after Anjie comes on the field and goes through a fierce confrontation, it will be more than worth the loss.
"You can't play at the moment, but if you're okay after a thorough check, you can get a chance to play. Van Gundy rejected Anjie's request to fight, and he didn't want to risk taking Anjie for a regular season game.
Until the red light on the rebound came on, Durant and Westbrook couldn't turn the score around. The two of them are exhausted, but without an inside barrier, the Suns' offense is completely alive, and the two of them alone can't play against the Suns, who are extremely capable of scoring.
And An Jie, although he couldn't go to the end with the team, he also applied to play after the head was broken.
"I'm sorry Ann didn't bring you a victory. Westbrook hung his head, looking a little guilty, but he had already scored a career-high 31 points! and shot a terrifying 75 percent!
"How's the wound on the head? Durant was concerned about Anjie's injury.
"No problem at all, don't worry, brothers, I will fight you to the end in the next game. Angel stood up and put his arms around Westbrook and Durant's necks. Wu Hua raised the camera and fixed this scene forever in the long river of time.
O'Neill wanted to say something to Anjie, but because he and Stoudemire were teammates, it was not easy to disturb the three young people who were hugging each other, so as not to embarrass everyone.
O'Neill didn't want to admit it, but he really seemed to like Anjie in his heart. This guy is very similar to Yao Ming, but very different from Yao Ming......
With 28 points and 12 rebounds, O'Neal has done everything a 36-year-old can do. It's a pity that the person who confronted him at the last moment was not the Asian kid who people loved and hated.
110-102, the Suns won by eight points over the Thunder. However, the fans of the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena all stood up and applauded the three young people who were hugging each other. (To be continued.) )
