Chapter 331: Not Afraid of Tigers (5)
Bill Betka's decision was: No. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why such a decision was made was for nothing else, in order to protect the Lakers small forward who personally took action to injure Long Zheng and even the Lakers themselves.
There are two types of malicious fouls, which are first-degree malicious fouls and second-degree malicious fouls. A first-degree malicious foul is defined as unnecessary contact; A second-degree malicious foul is defined as unnecessary or excessive physical contact, usually a deliberate heavy collision followed by an action.
However, whether it is a first-degree malicious foul or a second-degree malicious foul, there is no element of deliberately injuring the opposing player.
If malicious fouls still fall under the category of "extreme play tactics", then deliberately injuring players on the field is a real criminal offense.
In this game broadcast live in the United States, the referee team did not find out that it was okay, once the referee team determined that the Lakers small forward deliberately injured Long Zheng, not only the Lakers small forward will be banned for life and kicked out of the NBA, but even the Lakers themselves will be heavily punished by the NBA and fall into a desperate situation. At that point, the Lakers' reputation will be really ruined, and it will be difficult to make a comeback.
If you can't hurt Long Zheng and let him go, then there is no point in malicious fouls.
In NBA games, referees give heavy penalties for malicious fouls.
Regardless of whether it is a first-degree malicious foul or a second-degree malicious foul, both malicious fouls will give the opponent two free throws and gain possession, often referred to as "two free throws and one throw". Second-degree malicious foul offenders will be ejected immediately after the foul; If a player is convicted of two first-degree fouls in a single game, he or she is also eligible for ejection.
So far, the Lakers' five players on the court, small forward, scoring guard, and point guard have all received a first-degree malicious foul because of their defense.
......
The timeout ended and the game resumed, with the final five minutes and 36 seconds of the game remaining, and the ball belonged to the Lakers.
Serving on the sideline, the Lakers deliberately avoided the point guard who was closely defended by Long Zheng, and handed the ball to the scoring guard, who was responsible for dribbling to the frontcourt.
As a Lakers scoring guard, dribbling is not his strong point after all, and the game is up to now, the Lakers quarterback's physical exertion is very large, and the Rockets point guard who defends him Kenny Smith is after an eight-minute off-court break, and his physical strength is maintained very well.
It has to be said that Kenny Smith's successful steal was beyond everyone's expectations. No one wanted Kenny Smith to make another tackle on the premise of a successful steal in the second goal. It was this suddenness that caught the Lakers players off guard.
Comparing a basketball game to war, suddenness is their weapon against the enemy. When the other side is panicked and it is difficult to organize resistance, it is the best time to achieve the goal of the side.
The steal was successful, and the Rockets immediately launched a counterattack.
Center Hakeem Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, small forward Mario Elie, shooting guard Ryu Jung, point guard Kenny Smith, the Rockets have five players on the court, except for point guard Kenny Smith who dribbles forward after a steal.
Center Hakim Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, and small forward Mario Elie all gathered around Ryuzheng to clear the way forward.
I have to say that at this time in the game, the hearts of the Rockets and the Lakers are indeed very different. It can be seen clearly through the on-field performances of the players of both teams.
Finding that Kenny Smith successfully stole the basketball in the hands of the Lakers, the Rockets players reacted immediately, center Hakeem Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, and small forward Mario Eri all knew that they wanted to escort Long Zheng and help him clear the obstacles to move forward, and point guard Kenny Smith knew that his task was to protect the ball, looking for opportunities to pass the ball to Long Zheng, and help Long Zheng score easily.
Compared with the Rockets' "three military lives", the Lakers players found that after Kenny Smith successfully stole the basketball in the hands of the Lakers, he fell into an overall hesitation and was "unable to fight again" and let the opponent launch a counterattack.
With the escort of center Hakeem Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, and small forward Mario Elie, Long Zheng successfully ran out of the vacant position. It was too late, it was too fast, and as soon as he saw Ryuzheng run out of the open space, point guard Kenny Smith immediately passed the ball accurately to Ryuzheng.
After receiving a pass from point guard Kenny Smith very comfortably, Ryu-jeong adjusted his condition and jumped from beyond the three-point line to make a long shot.
A textbook long-range shot, Long Zheng's three-point shot accurately penetrated the Nets and made a splash.
The goal was valid, and the score of the two teams came to 119:58, of which Long Zheng scored 87 points alone, only 13 points away from Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game.
......
After landing, Long Zheng looked back. I saw that the demoralized Lakers players were like defeated roosters, looking at themselves with eyes full of confusion and fear.
At this time, Long Zheng's heart suddenly became unhappy. There is no longer interest in surpassing Chamberlain's single-game record of 100 points.
The Lakers, who have no leading players, have become a complete "fish belly" at this moment, and what is the point of scoring crazy points on such a fish belly team, relying on the means of "bullying the small" to break Chamberlain's single-game 100-point record.
In the depths of Long Zheng's mind, he had a faint hunch that if he really broke Chamberlain's single-game 100-point record in this game, then he would completely lose his love for basketball.
After the "big realization", Long Zheng took advantage of the referee's whistle to blow the whistle to continue the game, and after slightly signaling to the referee on duty, he ran to the Rockets coach's seat and asked head coach Rudy Tomjanovic to replace him immediately.
"What? Long Zheng do you want it, the end? Tomjanovich's face was full of incredulity. Seeing that he was about to break Chamberlain's historical record, how could he end up.
"Coach, I don't want to play this game anymore. The opposite Lakers have become a rout. ”
Looking at Tomjanovich, Ryuzheng said firmly: "I don't want to break the record set by Chamberlain's predecessors in such a team. In my opinion, this is a blasphemy against Chamberlain's predecessors. ”
"Long Zheng, you" Looking at Long Zheng, Tomjanovich's face kept changing. After a long time, Tomjanovich finally nodded and agreed.
After Ryu-seong left the game, the game continued, but at the moment no one was focused on the game. Looking at Long Zheng, who was already sitting on the bench, everyone had different thoughts. There is worship, there is calm, there is fear, there is regret......
At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 132:68. Long Zheng's 87-point personal single-game score, although it did not break Chamberlain's single-game record of 100 points, is also the second-highest single-game scoring record in history.
On the evening of March 3, 1994 in the Gregorian calendar, in Los Angeles, at the Staples Arena, Long Zheng, became famous in a fight!! (To be continued.) )
