197: Bruce. Bowen's career swan song (4.5K Guaranteed Monthly Pass)

When Wayne arrived in the locker room, Reggie. Miller was sitting in front of his locker.

And at his feet, there were already a few blood-stained towels.

The team medic muttered "Do you know how old you are, Reggie" as he tended to the wound on Miller's head.

Miller didn't answer, just smiled.

How could he not know that in two months, he would be 40 years old?

40 years old, even in ordinary life, is not young.

Not to mention on the field of professional sports.

At the age of 40, he desperately jumped to save the ball and hit his head and broke his blood.

This is an extremely dangerous thing to do in anyone's eyes.

Miller actually felt the same way, but he didn't have a choice.

At the time, he reacted almost instinctively.

"Reggie, it's okay." Wayne hurried over to Miller and found the team doctor stitching him.

"It's just a gap." Miller replied lightly.

"A seven-centimeter-long gash can't be described as 'just', Reggie." The team doctor shook his head, these cornfield maniacs.

That kind of ball, who would save it for a normal person?

Knowing that he was going to fall into the crowd and save the ball, the team doctor could still understand.

But knowing that he was going to hit his head and rushed out to save the ball, this ......

It's no longer a question of being brave or not, it's overcoming human instinct.

When encountering this kind of situation where the head may be traumatized, human beings will subconsciously protect their heads.

Miller, on the other hand, chose to abandon his head to protect the ball.

Yes, this time it's not that the scalp is numb, it's that the bleeding is directly shown.

At this time, Wayne noticed that Miller's hands were trembling slightly.

It stands to reason that local anesthesia should have been applied before the stitches, so that it will not be painful.

But it didn't take long for Wayne to react, and Miller wasn't shaking because of the pain.

He's excited!

"We, we...... Won Tianwang Mountain. ”

"That's right, Reggie, we beat them up."

"We are far from the championship...... It's just one game away! At this, Miller's voice trembled.

18 years of championship dreams, he has never been so close to his dream.

Peyton, who was next to him, smiled too, he has been to Los Angeles, he has been to Boston, and he has played in big cities for almost his entire career.

But I didn't expect that in the end, it was actually a dream come true in this cornfield in Indianapolis.

Well...... Strictly speaking, the Pacers haven't won a championship yet.

But after this game, everyone has a consensus in their hearts - the championship belongs to us!

In the fifth game, Duncan regained his form, and Robert . With Horry still outbursting in the final quarter, the Spurs still couldn't win.

So what else can they win?

Luck?

The Pacers are now the equivalent of putting their guns on the Spurs' heads.

It's just a matter of pulling the trigger with your fingers.

When the protagonist in the movie is held to the head by the villain with a gun, he usually takes advantage of the gap between the villain's words to complete the Jedi counter-kill.

But the Pacers ......

Well, that's a lot, Robert. Horry was deeply touched by this.

Don't forget to pretend to beep first in times of crisis, it is estimated that in addition to Bird, it is Wayne.

Although the Pacers talk a lot, they are just as decisive.

It's not just the Pacers players who think so, but most people on the outside feel that the Spurs are gone.

Even the Spurs themselves think so.

At the post-match press conference, Popovich's eyes were glazed.

The reporters asked him a lot of questions, but Popovich didn't respond as if he hadn't heard.

This bad old man, who usually likes to tell two jokes to reporters when he has nothing to do, is exceptionally quiet today.

Popovich began leading the Spurs as head coach from the start of the '96-'97 season.

Prior to that, he had led the team to two finals.

Both times he successfully won the cup.

In the finals, it has always been Popovich who has successfully played the opposing coach in the palm of his hand. Duncan was so suppressed that the other party couldn't lift his head.

For the first time, Popovich was toyed with by another man.

The fourth and fifth positions are blocked, what kind of fairy tactics are these!

It was also the first time Duncan looked tired in front of the rest of the players.

If the Spurs lose the championship, Duncan estimates it will take a long time to get out of the gloom of today's darkest hour.

The image of Wayne scoring multiple goals over his head will linger in Duncan's dumbfounded mind.

Popovich really took a big hit.

In his expectation, the Pacers will indeed be very tricky, and the game will definitely be very intense.

But lose?

It was never an option for him.

"Coach Craig, so, have you lost hope?" At this time, a reporter asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Popovich raised his head slightly.

"We ...... Just lost one game. ”

"But it's probably going to be a game that makes you lose the series." The journalist was unrelenting.

"Maybe, maybe. See you next in San Antonio, guys. ”

After Popovich finished speaking, he stood up and ended the press conference early.

However, his various performances only prove one thing - reporters have said that he is in trouble.

The San Antonio Spurs have lost hope.

The next afternoon, as the Pacers players boarded the plane to San Antonio, countless fans saw them off at the airport.

Reggie. Miller assured everyone: "When we come back, we'll bring the O'Brien Cup back!" ”

Fans: enthusiastic cheers, fierce applause.

Atai saw it and said it was very good, so he followed suit and shouted: "When we come back, I will bring back the FMVP trophy together!" ”

Fans: Oh.

Atai: ???

That's how you guys do FMVP?

Fans often get out of place with Artea because they don't get into the play deep enough.

Could Artai not know Wayne's stats better?

scored 30 points in two consecutive games, and in the last game, Tianwang Mountain also teased Duncan by the way.

Wayne is certainly the most likely player to win the FMVP right now.

But if Atai knew what a beep was, he wouldn't be Atai.

David. Stern had also arrived in San Antonio by this time, with the O'Brien Cup.

The master of the whole job is happy today, and the ratings of this year's finals in China are said to be a record high.

After all, this is the first time that a Chinese player has appeared on the stage of the NBA Finals.

That's right, for the first time.

When Battle won the championship with the Spurs, he didn't even make the squad, so he didn't play.

How popular is this series in China?

Let's put it this way, as a boy, if you don't watch Wei Zhanshen's game, then you and others basically have nothing in common.

The school cafeteria is full as soon as the class ends, because the TV in the cafeteria is always locked to the sports channel.

Yao Ming's entry into the NBA opened the door to a new world for everyone.

Wayne, on the other hand, told the fans how exciting the new world behind the door is.

Speaking of this, Stern couldn't help but want to complain about the mosaic.

Look at how popular the Pacers are in China right now and how much benefit they have brought to the league.

Crab you mosaic is the first to eat, and the opportunity is also given to you.

Why don't you fight yourself!

That lineup really wasn't built with care.

If Mosaic works harder, there will be a Chinese derby in this year's finals......

Tut-tut, Stern can't even imagine it.

I don't know if there will be a historic picture of Chinese players winning FMVP in the next game.

Thinking of this, Stern was still a little excited.

If the Pacers do win in the end, and Wayne wins the MVP......

Well, it's not a question of opening the doors of the NBA.

Wayne, this is a kick that knocked the door down!

On the other hand, Director Zhang also took CCTV's reporter team to San Antonio.

How could there be no Chinese reporters at such a momentous moment?

All in all, San Antonio has become a big stage for the world.

But sadly, the protagonist of this stage is not Spurs.

Finally, on June 21, 2005, a week before the start of the NBA Draft.

The sixth game of the finals, which is likely to determine the ownership of the champion, will be played under the watchful eye of the public.

Today, Reggie. Miller put a band-aid on his head and reappeared.

Before Payton came out, he was unusually nervous.

Because he knew that after this match, he might really touch the coveted honor.

When the time comes...... You can retire with Miller with peace of mind!

On the other side, the Spurs' locker room was unusually calm.

Everyone wants to fight, but they don't have the heart anymore.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The spurs are now completely lambs to the slaughter.

Before the start of the game, the live camera was deliberately given to David. A close-up of Stern.

With a smile on his face, this year's Finals were undoubtedly a success for him.

Not to mention the great development of the Chinese market, the main reason is that there are no moths yet.

The Spurs and Pacers played very "well-behaved" in these games and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Today, as long as the Pacers can win the game, everything is complete!

After the start of the game, the Spurs were as weak as ever.

Popovich has no more moves, so he can only rely on the players to fight hard.

Bowen had multiple opportunities from beyond the three-point line today, but most of his shots hit the iron.

Soon, Bowen spread his bad hand to the whole team.

Throughout the game, no one from the Spurs was accurate.

is worthy of being a person who plays the NBA with foot skills, but he really has no work in his hands.

By the fifth minute of the third quarter, the Spurs were nine points behind.

At this point, Payton was in possession of the ball and ready to organize an offense.

Atai suddenly cut inside and ran out of his chance. He threw his arms up and yelled as usual, "I'm empty." ”

Well, no one will laugh at Atay this time, he is in a vacuum.

But when Bowen had been thrown away by Atai, he grabbed Atai's jersey and pulled it very roughly and obviously.

Bowen couldn't be angry today, to be honest, if the Spurs were a little more accurate in three points today, they should be the ones who were ahead!

As a result, under Atai's defense, Bowen was already very annoyed by how to shoot today.

Now when he hears Atai shouting "I'm empty", Bowen is even more angry.

This pull directly made Atai fall backwards and fall hard.

Atei's burst switch, which had not been touched in a long time, turned on in an instant.

The referee stopped the game in time, and Atai stood up and pressed directly towards Bowen.

Bowen took two steps back, raising his arms high and not intending to entangle with Atay.

At this time, Peyton also surrounded and sprayed Bowen.

"Do you think I don't dare to hit a woman?" Payton squirted and poked his finger directly into Bowen's nose.

"Wayne is here, Wayne is here!"

At this time, I don't know who shouted, so frightened that Bowen hurriedly retreated to the vicinity of the bench.

The referees were happy, this trick was better than anything else.

Wayne: I'll just stand up and settle things?

Although there was no trouble this time, Bowen, who was annoyed and angry, still held a grudge against Peyton and Artey.

Especially Peyton, a thigh-hugging one, what are you so arrogant!

Five minutes later, when Ginobili hit another three-pointer, Wayne grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Payton.

Payton advanced quickly with the ball, but he didn't expect Bowen to pop up.

As soon as he reached out, he stabbed Peyton's basketball away.

Payton hurriedly threw himself on the basketball and tried to hold on to the ball.

At this point, Bowen also joined the ground ball race.

When the two sides scuffled together, Peyton actually attacked Bowen's fist with his balls in a frenzy!

Well, at least in Bowen's opinion.

He will always be so innocent, he will always be a victim.

When the series is almost over, I don't forget the yin people, and I deserve to be an old black family.

"Oops, I'm Cao!" Peyton screamed in pain, and his hands holding the basketball let go.

This Nima, Captain Touching the Stem!?

"Peyton suddenly let go, what happened?" Mike. Brin stood up.

The scene was chaotic, Payton was still struggling on the floor, and Bowen snatched the basket but went straight to the restricted area as if nothing had happened, ready to steal a two-point.

Because the two sides were grabbing the floor ball just now, it was difficult for all the referees to see their movements clearly, and they didn't know whether to blow it or not.

In a daze, Bowen had already rushed into the restricted area to hold the ball and make a layup.

But as soon as he jumped, the referee blew the whistle, and they still felt that something was wrong with Payton!

"Gan!" Bowen yelled in dissatisfaction, I was going to make a layup.

Can you please blow it early next time!

But at this moment, Bowen was horrified to find ...... Wayne: He's standing under the basket!

I don't know why, at that moment, Bowen's heart was cold.

Don't, Viagra, wrong, wrong, I'll never touch the stem again!

"I said, I'll keep an eye on you, Bruce. Don't think you can get past my eyes. ”

Wayne said to himself, then with his back to Bowen, he pushed his elbow back as if he were stuck in position.

Bowen, who rushed up with all his might, slammed into the elbow sent by Wayne, and at that moment, Bowen heard a "click".

"Bang!" Bruce. Bowen immediately fell to the ground hard, he clutched his ribs, his expression was very painful, and he rolled directly on the ground!

The referee immediately blew the whistle and rushed to separate the two sides.

"Bang dang."

Looking at the two consecutive injuries on the court, the Coke in Stern's hand fell directly to the ground.

This Nima ...... Don't you exist as the president of the alliance?

That's how you test your cadres?

That good mood is gone in an instant!

After a brief period of confusion, Wayne was whistled for a first-degree malicious foul. According to the rules of the league, he should be automatically suspended for the next game.

However...... Is there a next game this season?

Even if it's a ban, that's next season.

That elbow just now, Wayne hit hard. If nothing else...... Bowen's fate may be the same as that of Gerrard in his previous life. Wallace is about the same.

Not only did the ribs break, but they may have also damaged the lungs.

You can't die, but it's definitely much worse than a normal sports injury!

Judging by Bowen's current physical condition......

Well, this could well be the last game of his NBA career.

"You murderer, damn bastard!" Popovich yelled at Wayne in a rage, and several members of the coaching staff pulled him down.

Do you think they're afraid of Popovich beating someone?

No, I'm afraid that Popovich will be beaten!

"Don't go, you're really going to be killed!" Budenholzer shouted in Popovich's ear.

Play and play, make trouble, don't joke about Viagra.

At this time, Bowen, who couldn't move, was directly carried onto the stretcher.

Wayne looked at Popovich and shrugged.

"Murderers? No need to thank me, I just sent the only murderer on this pitch away. Now, the whole league can play with peace of mind. ”

Popovich was still roaring, but only in an impotent rage.

The painful Payton was also substituted, and God knows how hard Bowen was down.

It's so bland......

But in any case, Bowen has been punished as he deserves.

This time, the overall championship is complete!
