Chapter 460: A Rogue Is an Old Rascal (Fourth Update!) )

The Pelicans also led the Clippers 30-26.

This made Rivers on the sidelines angry enough and yelled at the players on the field.

Griffin said that he didn't take the Pelicans seriously, and the chicken soup that Rivers instilled in them was that they were going for a championship this season.

The Pelicans are doing a lot better than experts predicted, but they are clearly out of contention.

So the fact that it's not a competitor seems to them to be perfectly fine.

So being led by the Pelicans in the first quarter and being knocked down by 30 points is something Rivers can't tolerate at all.

Crawford came up and scored consecutive points, but Gordon and Anderson on the Pelicans' side also played hard, and the situation remained deadlocked.

When the situation was deadlocked, the Clippers gradually made more small moves, and the smell of gunpowder on the court became stronger and stronger.

Aminu was ejected for being provoked by Barnes and receiving consecutive technical fouls.

The Pelicans can only use Ci Shiping to make a transition.

The game lasted more than four minutes, and both sides changed the main force in advance.

Tang Tian forced Barnes and scored after the confrontation.

But at this moment, the unexpected happened.

Barnes' defensive move was a bit big, pushing and pulling Tang Tian when he was falling.

Although Tang Tian's reaction quickly adjusted in the air, he still landed on his shoulders when he landed, lying directly on the ground with a painful expression.

Seeing Tang Tian being taken down, the other four people on the Pelicans court quickly stepped forward to confront Barnes.

Barnes was born in the Golden State gang, and his style of play was fierce, and his arrogance rose even more under Rivers's account.

Griffin and Crawford and others on the field also came up behind him.

The atmosphere on the field was a bit tense.

Barnes cursed and spittled all over the sky.

But just as he was scolding, an iron fist suddenly smashed over.

He couldn't dodge and was knocked over directly by a punch.

And after the flip, it didn't count, the owner of the punch still sat on him and smashed down with a set of combination punches at him.

Fortunately, the other person is still awake and knows to protect his head with the arms of both hands, otherwise he would really be knocked out on the spot at this time.

Griffin was stunned and didn't dare to go up and pull it.

The person who punched was Ci Shiping.

The previous Auburn Hills incident made Artest famous all over the world, and of course, the cost was also very large, and he was banned for one year.

After Artest came back, he restrained a lot, and changed his name to Ci Shiping.

But a hooligan is a hooligan after all, and he is still an old hooligan when he is old.

When he wanted to punch, Ci Shiping was no longer the locker room leader who loved rap, but Artest in Auburn Hills.

The referee's whistle was about to blow before the conflict escalated further.

Tzu Se Ping was also pulled up from Barnes by Gordon and Smith.

Barnes's hands were shaking, his nose was still bleeding, and he was beaten a little badly.

The audience cheered.

Although the way is a little violent, this way of responding to malicious fouls is really cool, and it makes people feel like they are back to the excitement of basketball in the last century.

Because of the sudden clash, the match went into an official technical timeout.

Tang Tian was driven to the sidelines by Davis at this time, and the team doctor came up to inquire as soon as possible.

The technical station is replaying the clash to determine the final decision.

However, most of the fans in the stadium looked at the Pelicans' bench.

The situation on Tang Tian's side didn't look very good.

"You'd better get checked now, it doesn't look like it's going to be a second."

On the bench, the team doctor was reminding Tang Tian.

"Do I have to go for a test now?"

Tang Tian confirmed to the team doctor.

"The best, judging from the current situation, there is a high probability of shoulder misalignment, and the possibility of dislocation is not ruled out, and there is also a probability of a tear of the labral shoulder."

The team doctor said a bunch of jargon, and what he wanted to convey was that the injury was not light.

At this time, the final penalty on the technical bench has come out.

Barnes was adjudged for a second-degree malicious foul and was ejected straight away.

Ci Shiping was also sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul and was directly ejected.

With the same penalty, it is foreseeable that Ci Shiping will definitely receive a ban and a fine after the game.

After replaying the footage of the clash, the large LED screen followed up with a replay of Barnes' foul.

The movement is vile, and it is clearly rushing towards people.

The phenomenon was booed, and both Barnes and Ci Shiping left the scene one after another.

Barnes was booed at the scene, and the fans at the entrance of the tunnel were eager to go down and beat him up.

After the pause, the game continued, but Tang Tian did not appear, his shoulder had been fixed with something, and it looked like he was not lightly injured.

After communicating with the team doctor, Tang Tian still decided to sit in the midfield.

If it was an obvious dislocation, he would definitely be in pain and couldn't sit still now, but no, it means that the situation is not as bad as the team doctor said.

Now that the conflict has just broken out, if he stays, it will be a good encouragement to the morale of the team.

Gordon and Davis took over the team's firing rights.

Although the Pelicans looked passive on the court after being "redeemed", they played tenaciously.

At halftime, they trailed the Clippers by just five points, 50-55.

At half-time, players on both sides returned to the locker room.

Tang Tian didn't come back, and after greeting his teammates in the player tunnel and asking them to cheer for the second half, he went to the local hospital with the team doctor for a check-up.

The results of the examination came out, and the first thing that came out was a labral tear in the shoulder.

This couldn't be better news.

Among the injuries in the NBA, among the most tormenting injuries for players, the knee meniscus, the ankle, and the shoulder labrum.

This kind of injury is so serious that season reimbursement is a trivial matter, and it can even ruin an entire career.

Like the more well-known ones are Kevin Love and McCarvey.

Lefu tore the labrum of his shoulder by Olynyk, and his strength dropped directly after his comeback, and he has not been able to recover since then, and it is the turn of the fans to complain about the garbage contract.

McCarvey's situation is even worse, and the potential rookie who performed bravely in his rookie season has faded out of the NBA.

This is also where injuries are terrifying.

Not everyone will be able to recover from a major injury like the future Paul George.

The Pelicans still lost 91-106 to the Clippers.

Although they fought very hard, without Tang Tian, they were obviously at a disadvantage.

At the end of the game, the Clippers players left the court and received boos from the fans.

This team already has a lot of small moves, and after the arrival of Rivers, it has intensified, which itself makes fans of other teams not like.

Coupled with Griffin's previous provocation, this game ruined Tang Tian, and the two teams were completely feuded.

After a series of examination results, Tang Tian's injury report also came out the next day.

Slight dislocation of the shoulder requires recovery treatment for 3~5 weeks.

In other words, he will miss the regular season for the first time in his career, and it will be at least a month or so.
