Chapter 104: Conflict
Seeing Chamberlain being violated, Duncan roared out of the interior and pushed the fouler Rasheed Wallace to the floor!
"What bastard do you want to do?"
It is said that none of the Pistons' players are good people, and seeing that his interior partner was being bullied, Ben Wallace hurriedly rushed towards Duncan!
What does a person do if he sees his friend fighting for him again, and sees that friend is about to suffer?
Chamberlain, who was squatting on the ground, realized that it was not good when he heard Duncan's roar, and when he stood up with one hand covering his eyes, he saw Ben Wallace who was heading for Duncan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was not much time for hesitation at all, and Chamberlain, who had not had physical contact with people for many years, hurriedly greeted him, at this time he didn't think of anything in his mind, purely because he didn't want Duncan to suffer!
Closing his still painful left eye, Chamberlain's hands pressed the right shoulder of Ben Wallace, who had not yet reached Duncan's side, and at the same time scolded him with all his might: "Do you want to fight, short stick?"
The scope of the conflict began to expand, and the outside line began to catch and entangle each other, glaring at their opponents one by one!
The fiery episodes on the court attracted the attention of the fans, and all kinds of cursed Pistons-cursing insults echoed in the center of the SBC. The media present also couldn't wait to hold up the camera in their hands, keep pressing the shutter, and the flash was frequently turned on and off!
The managers of both sides also got up from their chairs and shouted at their players: "Do you want to sit on the bench, gentlemen?"
"This is the finals bastard!"
Finally, when the player's emotions were about to reach the critical point of a complete outbreak, the referee who enforced the law took action, and the brothers Chamberlain, Duncan, and Wallace, who were pushing each other, rewarded a technical foul by themselves, which brought the scene under control!
When the emotions of both sides slowly calmed down, the referee announced the penalty for Rashid Wallace, perhaps in a warning to some players who were out of control, and wanted to use Rashid's "chicken" to calm the rest of the monkeys, this time the penalty was heavier - a first-degree malicious foul.
Rashid, who was already resentful of Duncan's pushing, did not release it at this time, and he liked to complain about the fine tradition of attacking, chattering around the referee, seeing this, Larry Brown patted his forehead painfully and decisively called a long timeout!
This timeout has no practical significance, except to stabilize the mood of the players, neither side has made any adjustments, and at this critical juncture, smart people will not do stupid things to destroy the Great Wall!
The referee signaled for the game to restart, and the players from both sides walked towards the field one after another!
"Thank you, Tim. ”
As he walked to the field, Chamberlain whispered to Duncan's side!
Chamberlain's mood was very complicated when he said this, what was it like to see someone you didn't know very well stick a knife in your ribs? What was it like when he got into the game because of this?
Chamberlain was very shocked that Duncan would stand up for himself, although the two did not backlash, and there was no substantial entanglement of interests, but the gap in identity made them rarely communicate, and more importantly, Chamberlain had made up his mind to leave the Spurs!
Duncan heard Chamberlain's words, turned his face as stiff as a mask, and said something that made Chamberlain ponder for a long time: "You are my teammate, this is SBC Stadium!"
But this was not the time to ponder, shaking his head to remove these distractions, Chamberlain stood on the free throw line and executed the free throw awarded by the referee.
There was no surprise, and although his left eye was still astringent and uncomfortable, Chamberlain still sent the ball into the basket and hit both free throws. After the free throw, it is still the Spurs' possession, and the punishment for a first-degree malicious foul is two free throws and one throw!
Physical confrontation has always been the mainstream of the NBA, but in order to avoid unpleasant things, the referees in the next games were much stricter, and the blowing penalties began to be on par with the body hair level!
Because of the change in the penalty scale, the two teams that mainly rely on defense to survive are difficult to control the habits they have developed long ago when defending, and they are frequently blown!
Free throws, free throws, free throws, in the next few offenses, free throws turned out to be the main means of scoring for both sides!
After all, the number of fouls is required, and the referee's serious law enforcement makes the defense of both sides become a cute and well-behaved baby, and the action is unusually shy and restrained!
If the defense of the two teams is half-hearted, the Spurs are obviously more expert than the Pistons on offense.
Popovich seized the rare opportunity and replaced Bowen with Ginobili, and the Spurs played the small-ball tactics vigorously.
For the remaining minutes of the third quarter, the Pistons were like hedgehogs without spike protection, only the meat balls inside, watching the Spurs call the wind and rain!
At 55:38, the Spurs entered the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead!
For the Pistons, who scored the lowest 11 points in the playoffs, this is already a point difference. Unwillingly, they stubbornly held on for half a quarter, and without any turn in the score, Larry Brown came on as a substitute and announced that he would give up the game.
Immediately Popovich also announced a substitution, and the game entered garbage time! Chamberlain followed the main team to rest with 26 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds!
Different from the anxiety of the main team, the Spurs' bench lineup completely defeated the Pistons' old rookie army, and the difference between the two sides was widened at this time, with the final score of 82:59, and the Spurs were in front.
Compared to the hot game, the press conference was much more harmonious.
In order to help the players clear their hands from punishment, Popovich and Larry Brown, who don't want to make a big deal out of it, choose to avoid the unpleasantness that happens on the court. Even in order to show friendship, they invariably praised each other's players!
"The Pistons' configuration is perfect, and the team's cooperation is also very tacit, which is what the Spurs have been pursuing but have not achieved. Their players are also very good and I said to my players before the game: 'Be careful. Be careful of Hamilton'. And Chauncey, he's a super point guard who everyone underestimates!"
Popovich spoke so eloquently to the media!
"Spurs deserved to win this game, they had a beautiful attack in the second half, I've never seen such a beautiful attack. And their rookie Chang, oh my gosh, while our Mr. Bangyan was still on the bench, Chang was already the main force chasing his first championship ring!"
Well, the media let Rally-Brown flicker, and the topic was successfully diverted!
