164: Hammered by Popovich (4K Ticket)
"Another riot, Bruce was lifted off the court twice in a row in one game...... Did he set a new NBA record? ”
Cole looked at the chaotic pitch and shook his head speechlessly.
Bowen was definitely the best of the day and didn't run.
His performance today, really, is just one word - wonderful!
Obviously, they were beaten down once, and they specially ran back to be beaten a second time......
Carter didn't watch the live broadcast of this game, otherwise he would have to celebrate wildly for three days and three nights, and present pennants to Wayne and Artey.
And what's even more speechless is ...... Spurs coach Popovich actually left the game with an injury......
Well, it's not uncommon for players to leave the game due to injuries, and it's not uncommon for coaches to be sent off for technical fouls.
But the coach left the field due to injury...... Anyway, Cole is seeing you for the first time.
At this time, there were still blood stains left by Popovich on the floor of the Spurs bench.
And...... Two teeth.
The first coach in the NBA who was knocked out of his teeth by a player was none other than Popovich.
Budenholzer was appointed interim coach in a desperate situation.
But at this point, the Spurs had no intention of fighting anymore.
Everyone was worried about what was going on with Bowen and Popovich.
After all, Bowen was beaten for the second time, and Popovich was so old that God knows if he was in serious trouble.
Of course, most fans' assessment of what happened to Popovich is that they are to blame.
Aside from Spurs fans, few people will feel sorry for him.
After all, without Bowen to step Wayne, Wayne would have lost his center of gravity?
Wayne doesn't lose his center of gravity and will press Popovich?
In the final analysis, it is Uncle Bao's fault.
In this wave, Wayne can be said to have played very cleanly, and even the slow-motion replay did not find any flaws.
What if the camera catches Wayne laughing at the end? Does laughter have to be intentional? Can't I taunt the opposing coach?
What's more, Wayne still hasn't seen the shot of himself smiling at Popovich, probably not being captured.
And Atai's righteous straight punch was even more impactful.
In the replay on the big screen at the scene, the moment Atai's fist hit Bowen, Bowen's whole face was crooked.
Cole felt pain when he saw it, not only Bowen felt pain, but even Atai's hand hurt.
Do you really think that the role of boxing gloves is to protect opponents? No, that's also used to protect the fist.
Atai's naked fist shot directly to the head, tsk, Tomjanovich said that he was very uncomfortable after watching it.
Of course, most of the fans were excited and cheering.
Bowen was finally beaten, which is a good thing that the whole world celebrates!
Chinese fans are now willing to call Atai a Thai boss!
For the Chinese players, you are a friend of the panda.
", Ron is out of control again." Inside the luxury box, Donnie. Walsh is really served.
Uppercase suits.
Artay is definitely the player who has missed the most games without injuries this season, not one of them.
With that punch just now, Atai will definitely be banned for more than ten games, or even more.
'He's just trying to protect his team-mates, Donnie, he's improved a lot.' Bird didn't care too much, at least this time, Artai wasn't throwing a tantrum.
"You can't pamper them like that, Larry, they've got too much to do, you don't want us to be the next Portland Trail Blazers, do you?" Walsh clearly disagrees with Bird.
"That's teammate, Donnie, you won't understand."
"I ......" Walsh was so stunned that he couldn't speak, you guys played in the NBA, it's amazing!
On the pitch, the staff responsible for cleaning the floors couldn't believe what they had been through today.
First cleaned the foul-smelling yellow water stains, and now cleaned the blood stains on the bench.
I don't know, I thought they were cleaning the battlefield.
At this time, on the bench of the Pacers, Carlisle also decided to let Wayne go back to the locker room to rest first.
"What? I can still fight! I really didn't get hurt. ”
"No, I can't take any more risks. Go back, Way. Look at Ron by the way, lest he smash our locker room to the ground. Carlisle was very adamant, and he had just seen Wayne's ankle twist at a very frightening angle.
So, he felt that Wayne just wanted to grit his teeth and persevere.
Whether Wayne is injured or not is not up to Wayne, nor is Carlisle's final say.
You have to wait for a professional medical examination after the game to find out.
Wayne couldn't defend himself, he couldn't tell Carlisle that I had a body of steel.
So, he also stood up and silently walked off the court amid the cheers of the fans.
Well, limped off the court.
It's so hard to play......
After Wayne walked into the area where there were no reporters in the players' tunnel, he was finally able to walk normally.
He hurried to the locker room and pushed open the locker door.
Wayne originally thought that the angry Atay would make a mess of the locker room, after all, Atay has a habit of smashing things when he gets angry.
When he was in high school, he once smashed the stands into rubble. Last season, Atay was also heavily fined by the league for smashing the cameraman's camera.
But to Wayne's surprise, the locker room was very neat and untouched by anyone.
And Artest, he just took off his jersey and was still on the ground, sitting there quietly.
His eyes were blank, just like Wayne had seen him for the first time.
Yes, emotions go from 0 to 100 and from 100 to 0, with no increasing or decreasing process in between.
This is Artest, who can go from being the most gentle and soft-spoken person to being the opposite.
You can also change from a ferocious beast to a docile Ron in an instant.
"Wei, you're okay, right? What does the team doctor say? Wayne stood beside Atay for a long time before Atay finally found Wayne beside him.
"Thankfully, I don't think I'm hurt, Ron......" Wayne half-crouched down and looked at Artay who had regained his composure.
"Thank you, buddy." With that, Wayne took Atai into his arms.
Wayne is really grateful to Artey.
Although he is usually very secondary, he just rushed up and beat Bowen and looked really handsome.
Not everyone in this league will stand up for their teammates.
In fact, 80% of teammates have just ordinary colleague relationships.
There are very few people who can really be friends and stand up for each other in private.
Don't you see that when Yang Shaoxia was in the Lakers in the future, he also experienced the famous scene of being beaten 1 by the Suns 5 to 1.
When Wayne was hurt, Atay dared to be the first to rush to meet him. It's not a question of being rational or irrational, it's a question of not caring about you as a teammate.
"Nothing thanks, last time at the Palace of Auburn Hills...... You've stood up for me, too. I said, I'll be more decisive than Carter. You see, I didn't break my promise. Atay hugged Wayne as well.
Wayne was the first person in Artay's basketball career over the years to say thank you instead of blaming him after he got into a fight.
Why is Atay the only one in the Pacers who is close to Wayne?
Because he felt Wayne understood him.
Wouldn't treat him as a nuisance and a freak.
Sticking a knife in the ribs for a brother is the code of practice in the Queensbridge district.
Atai just did what he thought was right.
When Wayne and Atay thanked each other, the final few minutes of the game were quickly over.
Although the Pacers have lost the two important battles of Artai and Wayne, the Spurs are also distracted because of the lack of Popovich and Bowen.
Spurs' minds are no longer on the game, they just want to get out of this place as soon as possible, so the players are in very average condition.
On the other hand, after Wayne and Atay were unable to continue the game, Reggie. Miller stepped up again as the soul of the team and killed all sides in the fourth quarter!
Miller's return to the end of the season was evident in this game.
In the end, Miller Sr. scored a team-high 26 points to help the Pacers take the Spurs by nine points.
This also means that the Pacers have the longest 10-game winning streak of the season!
But at this point, no one cares about a 10-game winning streak.
After the game, everyone rushed back to the locker room to check on Wayne and Artay.
Xiao Ao, as the captain, is naturally the most anxious one.
Then he pushed open the door and saw Wayne and Atay hugging each other......
"Uh...... How is it different from what I imagined? Also, how do you feel like you're so redundant......" Xiao Ao was messy at the door of the locker room.
"Yo, Jermaine, did we win?" Wayne stood up for the first time, which resolved Xiao Ao's embarrassment.
"Win, win. Are you alright, Wayne. ”
"It's okay, can Bowen hurt me?" Wayne smiled and shrugged.
"Ron......" Then, Xiao Ao walked up to Atay again.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm just going to beat him, what's the matter!
Don't ramble in front of me, I don't regret it! Put away your captain's preaching, Jermaine. Atai waved at Xiao Ao angrily.
Sure enough, to Wayne and to others, Atai has completely two attitudes,
Xiao Ao actually wanted to ask if Atai's hand was injured, after all, ...... The naked punch is so heavy, and there is a possibility that his hand will be fractured.
But it looks like that guy is doing well, don't worry!
"Idiot ......" Although he was scolding, Xiao Ao still patted Atai's shoulder.
This time, he didn't intend to blame Atay.
At this point, most of the Pacers players walked in, and Wayne and Artay were the center of attention.
On the other side, the Spurs players returned to the locker room...... Immediately surrounded by a strong smell of Xiang.
Although Bowen had just cleaned himself up, the shorts and pants he wore were still in the locker room......
It's absolutely stunning!
"Where's Bruce?" Manu looked around and saw that the locker room only smelled of it, and no one was there.
"Sent to the hospital." Popovich, who was cleaning his mouth, replied.
"Huh? He squirted again!? Manu looked shocked.
"He's got a broken nose!" Popovich glanced at the Argentine with disdain, what a brain!
Just want to see Bowen get?
"Oh, oh...... That's pretty miserable. Pop, are you alright? Manu leaned in front of Popovich again.
And then discovered...... Popovich's front teeth are gone.
No wonder from the very beginning, Popovich spoke very strangely, it turned out to be a leak!
"On purpose, Wayne's bastard did it on purpose!" Popovich did not answer Manu's question, because it was clear whether he was doing well or not now.
"What? You mean, he hit you on purpose? "Duncan was stunned, didn't Wayne accidentally overwhelm Popovich?
"When I got off the field, he smiled at me and winked at me! Ma Dan, arrogant to death, I really hope he will be reimbursed for the season! Popovich was so angry, he would never forget Wayne's arrogant expression.
If Wayne had had been badly injured in the ankle, Popovich would have jumped up and applauded!
Outcome......
"My ankle has been checked, it's fine, I'll be back in the next game."
In his post-game press conference, Wayne responded to his injury.
I'm mad at Popovich, that Wayne guy doesn't have any!
Bowen was knocked out of the, the bridge of his nose was broken, and Popovich had two front teeth knocked out.
And what about Wayne? He just ate a painless first-degree malicious foul today!
Is there still a royal law!?
"So, what do you think of Ron Boxing Blues. What about Bowen's behavior? By the way, Bruce was really ...... on the field today Uh, was it beaten out of excrement? ”
Faced with this question, Wayne's expression immediately became serious: "I don't know if you have ever heard a joke that if all the active players of the NBA are put into a cage at this time, they must fight each other to determine the last person to be released." I don't know who will survive to the end, but I'm sure the first to die will definitely be Bruce.
It's no secret that he's a scumbag, a soft egg. He tried to hurt me on purpose, but he hurt himself.
If I had to evaluate, I just want to say that Ron only punched him, and he was lucky. If he did it next time, I wouldn't be so polite to him.
As for the excrement, oh my God, you can't imagine what it was like on the pitch at the time.
It's really disgusting, and I suggest that the league ban such a player permanently. Otherwise, fans will have to wear oxygen masks to watch Spurs games in the future. ”
Several reporters at the bottom almost couldn't hold back their laughter, Bowen was beaten out of Xiang, really, if it is a year and a half, it will be popular for a lifetime!
In the future, when other players face Bowen, they can spray this trash word: "You don't want to be by me, man." ”
Absolute force can deal 120% psychological damage!
On the other side, Popovich was complaining about his players and himself: "Xiang has been beaten, Xiang has been beaten, and Wayne is not even banned!?" ”
Popovich is unwilling, even if Wayne is not injured, is there no ban?
At this time, Bowen, who was in the hospital, wanted to pinch Popovich to death.
Don't say it, don't say it! When you say that, the whole world knows that I've been beaten!
Originally, this was an uncertain matter, and there was room for justification.
Well, now Jeon Nyima was stoned by you at the press conference!
"Wei's attack on me was also deliberate, and he actually laughed at me when I was gone! What a despicable act! ”
"You said that Wei deliberately attacked you, do you have any evidence? Pop。 ”
"The footage of the scene is the evidence!"
However, the camera didn't capture Wayne's face, just you passing by the Pacers bench. And...... You're the one who just stopped Wayne. You say Wayne's behavior is despicable, but it was Bowen who put his foot on him first, right? What do you think of Bowen's behavior, Pop, Pop!? ”
Popovich angrily turned around and left the press conference without continuing to answer questions.
Can you still answer? High blood pressure is going to be angry!
Oh, today's incident is so big, and it doesn't have any impact on Wayne's stunned!
Bowen's nose bone and his two front teeth are all in vain!?
The angry Popovich gritted his teeth, but found that he couldn't even clench his teeth, it was breathable!
It's just adding fuel to the fire!
He now hopes the Pacers can make it to the Finals.
When an all-out Spurs appear in front of the Pacers, Popovich believes that he can trample on the dignity of the Pacers on the stage of the Finals!
The two teams, which could have been said to have no intersection, have formed a bond like this.
I believe that the next time the two sides meet, the attention of the game will definitely not be at the same level now......
In the NBA league, there is another pair of mortal enemies.
