329: The one who can't be messed with
George Carr was so upset by Link that he didn't expect that the Chinese would take the initiative to come to the sidelines to provoke him.
On top of that, Afflaro has only been defending Link for two rounds and can already see how hard he is. The "rattlesnake" also had to walk around the road in front of the big black bear.
Link beat the Nuggets 4-0 as soon as he came up, which seemed to be a small score, but it played a huge role in stabilizing morale.
Now, the Grizzlies players aren't afraid of the rough Nuggets. On the contrary, it was the Nuggets, who were a little more jealous of Link.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides fought each other in this hand-to-hand fight. But the game that George Karl expected didn't happen, and the Grizzlies seemed to be comfortable with this kind of rough game, but the Nuggets were a little stunned.
The Nuggets didn't finally score their first goal until 4:20 after the opening break. At that time, the score became 8-2!
An angry George Karl called for a halt to the game, and all the Nuggets players hung their heads. They knew that the next step would be to inevitably be scolded by old Karl.
"You're a softass! I'm Cao, look at what you're defending!? That guy can surprise you as much as he wants, you seem to be an ornament! God, what kind of game do you think this is!? This is the playoff guys, do you know the playoffs!? If you let him break through you so easily, then you just wait to score 50 points in a single game! ”
Sure enough, as soon as Afraro came on the field, George Carr scolded him with a big face.
Don't think that George Karl will comfort the players, encourage them, and play those warm cards. For him, scolding is the most effective way to solve the problem.
"Javier, you'll be on the pitch later, be smart on the pitch for me! If anyone dares to enter the restricted area, you will give him a taste of being blocked! "It's useless to scold, George Karl must have to do something practical to solve the problem.
So, he decided to replace Coopers and bring on the more athletic McGee to strengthen the defense.
McGee nodded excitedly and took off his training clothes. Don't underestimate this guy, McGee also sent a triple-double with 10+ blocks last season. This guy is definitely a master of helping defense, and his physical talent is visible to the naked eye.
"On the offensive end, give me more passes, fucking pass the ball, share it! You idiots aren't stupid enough to want to one-on-one with each other, do you? Ha? ”
In the end, it was the electronic beep at the end of the timeout that saved the Nuggets players. Finally, old Carl's scolding was interrupted. The game restarted and the players got back on the pitch.
Afflaro had just stepped onto the pitch when he was grabbed by Carl Sr. Considering himself unlucky, he was ready to be scolded again, but as everyone knows, Old Carl did not scold, but leaned into his ear and whispered, "If necessary, the movement can be bigger." Beat like a man, I don't care if he lives or dies. ”
Affralo looked at his boss in surprise, but the white-haired old man only winked meaningfully.
Afraro pursed his lips and was caught in a dilemma.
※※※
than to start over, the Denver Nuggets attacked first. The Grizzlies have all put on a pitch, and their defense against the Nuggets has been perfect for the past four minutes.
The Nuggets are in dire need of scoring right now, and they are in dire need of a player who can step up. But alas, that's what the Nuggets lacked.
When a team doesn't have an attacking strength, it's very difficult to turn the tables around in a stalemate.
Afflaro looked at Link, his mind full of George Carr's words. He knew that Carl was a man who would do anything to win, and that Afflaro didn't mind doing some dirty work.
He's never been a good stubble, and this year's regular season, Afflaro was once suspended for a malicious elbow to Hayward.
Aflaro gritted his teeth, there are always wicked people in this world, and in order to win, there is only a desperate bet.
In this attack, Afflaro was very aggressive in his run. And in the process of getting rid of Link, he gave Link a dark elbow.
Link was thrown out of half of his body as a result, and Afflalo's elbow didn't settle today.
Seeing this, Tylawson broke through the ball and passed to Aflalo, who was halfway out of position.
Angry, Link quickened the pace of his feet, then straightened his arms, and his fingertips rubbed the basketball in a daze!
Link jumped straight into the box, took the basketball down, and pressed it under him! Seeing this, Afflaro fell directly on Link, and when he fell, he didn't forget to slash Link's face with his elbow intentionally or unintentionally!
"!" Link is still holding the basketball and taking the opportunity to clamp Aflalo's arm as well!
Both were surrounded by players, so the referee couldn't see the specific physical contact between Link and Afflaro. It wasn't until Afflaro screamed that the referee finally awarded a scrum and stopped the game.
"What's the situation!? We just heard Afflaro's screams? Hubbie Brown craned his neck to look inside the pitch and found that Affralo and Link were on their feet when they were on the ground scrambling for the ball.
Link was fine, but Afraro kept clutching his right arm.
George Karl also wondered how snatching a floor ball would make a scream
Only Afflaro knew that when he and Link were scrambling for the ball just now, Link deliberately clamped his arm and locked it hard. On the surface, Link is holding on to the basketball, but in reality, if Link continues to push hard and the referee doesn't stop the game, Afflaro estimates that his arm will be lost.
Well, this hooligan is going to die. Afflaro's mission is to deter Link by any means, but now, Afflaro himself is a little afraid of Link.
After getting up, Link pointed at Afflaro and said nothing. But Afraro knew it was just a warning. If he continues to use small gestures against Link, Link will continue to retaliate.
Link's vicious expression made Afflalo's heart furious, Link would not take the initiative to use these indiscriminate moves. But it's the playoffs, and if you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. The other party's ruthless way is to be more ruthless than him.
In the scrum that followed, Afflalo, who did not have an advantage in height and bounce, lost to Link, and the ball still belonged to the Grizzlies.
This time, Link leaned on Afflalo to break through and then hit a quick stop. 10-2, the Nuggets don't seem to have come to their senses.
"You don't understand what the I'm talking about, do you?" George Karl yelled at Afflaro again, and Afflaro really wanted to take off his jersey and stop playing. Got Link? To put it lightly!
In the game after the first quarter, Afflalo did not give Link too much obstruction because he was afraid of it.
The Grizzlies outscored the Nuggets 25-14 in the first quarter and led the Nuggets by 11 points in the first quarter.
After Afflalo tasted great in the first quarter, he didn't punch and kick Link again, and he still wanted to save his arm.
Link also told his teammates and coaches about the situation, warning them to be careful of the behavior of Nuggets players. George Karl is a madman, that guy can do anything.
What about George Carr? He intensified his efforts.
"You're going to have to abolish him! Abolish him! Do you want me to be more blunt!? ”
"Why do you keep getting along with him?" Afralo was also impatient, it was none other than someone else who had almost broken his arm just now, and no one could understand his fear.
"I can't get along with him!? God, you're now 11 points behind at the end of a quarter! And that No. 0 scored 7 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter! Who am I getting along with!? If you don't, you're winning! This is war, have you ever seen a bloodless war!? George Carr pointed directly at Afflaro's nose and cursed, which was captured by many cameras on the scene.
Afflaro smashed the towel in his hand, this summer, no matter what, he has to apply to leave the team!
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Nuggets' offense still couldn't find the center of gravity, and it was a mess.
On the Grizzly Bears' side, under the leadership of Link, they directly played into more flowers.
Of course, things are not as smooth as they seem. During a three-point shot, Link found that Afflaro had deliberately put his foot under his feet!
Fortunately, Link adjusted in time, so he didn't step on Aflaro's feet! If you really step on it, the consequences are unimaginable!
This kind of small action is usually a big thing if something happens, but if it doesn't happen, few people can see it.
Link glared at Afraro and then at George Carr.
George Carr also responded with a vicious look, admitting his crime, "That's right, Lao Tzu is going to kill you!" ”
Link doesn't want to swallow his anger, if the other party even does such a thing as stepping up, then there is no need to be soft!
"Link misses shot, Nuggets attack! Lawson hoisted the ball inside and wanted to play to Farid! Huh? Link, Link rushes out and he steals Lawson's pass! ”
Link was so focused that the moment Lawson passed the ball, he also started with it.
After winning the basketball, Link pushed forward, and Aflaro immediately wrapped himself up and pulled Link's jersey. But this kind of action, in Link's opinion, is already very "gentle".
Link didn't stop, but hit the ball into the hands of Conley, who was plugged in. Then, Link ran to the bottom right corner, which happened to be in the direction of the Nuggets' bench.
Conley went on a breakneck ride and caught the attention of most of the Nuggets' players. But Conley didn't do it, but at the moment of bursting into the penalty area, he passed the ball back to Link who was ambushed in the bottom corner on the right side!
"Breaking through the ball, Link got his chance!"
"!" Afflaro ran towards Link with all his might, and if he let Link score again, he would almost collapse.
Link lifted the basketball, and Afflaro jumped with all his might.
But Link didn't shoot and didn't take the opportunity to break inside. Instead, he took another step to the side and opted for a three-point shot, which sent Afflalo's leg into Link's shoulder. Afflaro then flipped his head down!
"Fuck it" George Karl, who was standing on the sidelines, was knocked to the ground by Aflalo, who had turned out, before he could finish swearing.
"Toot toot!" The referee blew the whistle, and the Nuggets bench flipped on his back. George Karl was pulled up, but he found himself with blood on his shirt!
On another look, Afflaro fell to the ground and couldn't move! And his head was knocked open with a big hole, and the blood did not stop!
George Carr was about to scold Link, only to find that the referee was not blowing an offensive foul, but a defensive foul!
"Afflaro fouls Link's cylinder and defends for a foul. If your player is bleeding, stop the bleeding before you can play! "The referee was aware of the situation and did not arbitrarily award the penalty because Afflaro fell badly.
In basketball, sometimes the side that falls hard is not necessarily the innocent side.
Carl originally wanted to blame Link's behavior, but after hearing that it was Aflalo who fouled, he forcibly held back the words he wanted to scold!
This is uncomfortable!
Link looked coldly at the motionless Afraro, then shrugged at George Karl. Then, get to the free throw line and get ready for three free throws!
In the end, Afflaro was carried off the pitch in embarrassment. It is not difficult to see from the blood stains on the jersey that this fall is not light. Link, however, is not to blame. Because, on the contrary, he is still the party that is violated
Looking at Afflalo, who was carried out, looking at the blood stains on his shirt, and looking at Link standing on the free throw line, George Carr suddenly sat on the bench.
After so many years of coaching, George Karl has always been domineering. But today, he seems to have provoked a person he can't afford to mess with.
