Chapter 354: Go Down, Brother!
At the same time as the Lakers game, the league punished Richardson for a malicious foul in yesterday's SuperSonics and Suns game.
You must know that Lu Feike is one of the face players of the league, and he is the hope of the NBA to open up the Chinese market, if it is ruined because of this malicious action, it will be a big loss.
So this time the punishment for Richardson is not light, with a one-game ban and a fine of $20,000.
For a team with only a seven-man rotation, the starter was suspended for one game, the loss was not insignificant, and the sad D'Antoni's hair turned gray.
This penalty caused dissatisfaction among the Suns, who felt that the punishment was too severe, Lu Fei was not injured after all, and he had already given a technical foul during the game, and the additional punishment after the game was complete nonsense.
However, their complaint has not yet been answered, and the second game has already begun.
The Suns have obviously had a problem with their rotation, and although they have increased the playing time of their benches, they must know that their bench players have not played a few games in a season, and although they all seem to have a lot of playing time per game, most of them are in garbage time.
The Suns are like that, either crushing their opponents in one fell swoop or being crushed by their opponents in one fell swoop, leaving a lot of garbage time for the bench to squander.
Anyway, as long as you can play a scorching game, the substitutes have no chance to play.
D'Antoni has always been this virtuous.
His nickname - 'The Grave of the Newcomer'.
By the third quarter of the game, the SuperSonics had all scored double-doubles, and although the score did not fall behind thanks to the excellent play of Marion and Nash, their physical strength could not keep up at all.
Coupled with Stoudemire's defense, it was miserable.
Since the first game, Stoudemire has been faintly eaten to death by Oku and Wang Zhizhi, what he is best at is to collide with the opponent's muscles on the inside, you are more horizontal than me, I am more horizontal than you.
But with these two center forwards, he ran out of tricks.
People don't go in to fight you at all, they keep floating outside when they attack, Stoudemire defends it, the Suns' already weak restricted area has become a supersonic bombing disaster area.
He could only keep running inside and outside, and because of mistakes, he was hit by the supersonic side several times, causing fouls.
By the time he entered the fourth quarter, he had already committed five fouls.
D'Antoni was also speechless, and if Stoudemire went down, he would directly admit defeat in this game, but he didn't plan to replace Stoudemire.
The main reason is, who will be on it?
When to wait until Stoudemire gets six fouls and then let him come down on his own, D'Antoni is too lazy to command anyway.
At this time, Oku suddenly stopped going to the outside line, and fought hand-to-hand with Stoudemire on the inside, riveting his strength to beat Stoudemire.
It was as if Stoudemire had slept with his wife.
Lu Fei saw that he was stuck in a good position, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he directly passed the ball over.
When Oku got the ball, he immediately hit Stoudemire, because there were five fouls, and Stoudemire's defense was a little restrictive, allowing Oku to easily hook the ball into the basket.
Not long after, Oku stuck his position on the inside again, Lu Fei didn't even look at it, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew towards Oku again.
"It's over, isn't it?" Stoudemire had a black line on his face.
Oku didn't care about him, his back kept exerting force, and he squeezed into the inside.
"It seems that the supersonic are determined to take Stoudemire down." Steve Cole, the TNT commentator in charge of the commentary at the scene, said with a smile, because this is the second time in a row that Oku has beaten Stoudemire, and Sima Zhao's heart is well known.
"Seriously, I think the superSonics are very clear, they know what they want to do every round, and their system reminds me of the team you were on back then, Steve." Cole's commentary partner, senior commentator Smith, said.
"You mean the Chicago Bulls?" Kerr smiled: "No, no, no, the SuperSonics don't have Michael, and their star Lu Fei is a player who organizes more than he scores...... Well, Lu Fei this season, scoring a little bit more, but nowhere near as crazy as Michael. ”
"Oh, I think you're getting me wrong." Smith laughed: "I'm not talking about the players, not their style of play, but the purpose, their purpose for each round, it's too clear, just like the Bulls game, you always know, how to play the next ball...... Ah, Memet was in too much of a hurry, the ball was blocked, but fortunately, Lu Fei grabbed the ball and shot outside the three-point line, beautiful! ”
Cole sighed: "Although it is a fool to beat Stoudemire at this time, I have to admit that you are right, as long as Lu Fei is there, supersonic will always be on the right track, there is no doubt about this." ”
"Yes, I dare to pack a ticket, in less than three years, Lu Fei will grow into a superstar." Smith said.
Cole smiled: "Isn't Lu Fei a superstar now?" You must know that he has won the honor of regular season MVP this season, and Nike is ready to make him his own signature sneaker. ”
"Nope."
Smith said solemnly: "I think when Lu Fei wins the championship and the MVP of the Finals, he can become a real supergiant. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Kerr suddenly exclaimed: "It seems that he still has the possibility of becoming the best defensive player." ”
On the field, Lu Fei was directly knocked to the ground by Stoudemire outside the reasonable collision area, and the referee did not hesitate to blow Stoudemire for an offensive foul.
Lu Fei lay on the ground, covering his aching chest that was hit, "Fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted quickly." ”
"Tell you to hit me, go down brother."
Although Stoudemire was unwilling, although he kept arguing with the referee that Lu Fei was moved, the referee still insisted on his decision, and even Cole and Smith, who were in charge of the commentary, thought that there was no problem with the referee's decision through replay, and Lu Fei defended this ball very beautifully.
Without Stoudemire, the SuperSonics quickly ended the game.
It wasn't until after the end of the game that Kerr suddenly found out that Lu Fei's data was only 13 points and 7 assists, and then everyone realized that Lu Fei in this game did not exert his strength.
However, the Suns also conceded a starter.
Of course, if you don't let the starters, you can't win the SuperSonics, after all, when the SuperSonics have so many players scoring double-doubles, it's too difficult to lose the game.
After the match, Lu Fei and McMillan applied not to participate in the post-match interview.
The opportunity to participate in the post-match interview was reserved for Oku and Wang Zhizhi, who had a good performance in this game, and they deserved this honor for their performance against Stoudemire.
Wang Zhizhi participated in a post-game interview for the first time since he entered the NBA.
The star-like treatment made him a little excited.
In the locker room of the Chicago Bulls, Chris Paul clenched his fists when he watched the whole live broadcast and finally saw the two role players who appeared on screen for an interview.
"Lu, I'm looking forward to meeting you in the finals."
As for Lu Fei, he quietly made a gesture to the audience, where three people were sitting, Gu Tang and ......
Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu.
A few people made an appointment to eat together in the evening.
Well, after Wang Zhizhi's interview was over, let him take a taxi by himself.
