Chapter 225: Technical fouls

"Kiki Vanderwic, back to the ball, turning, feints, fooled Knight, hit the board and shot into the basket! It was Vanderwicki's 10th in the fourth quarter, and now he has 27 points, and he maintains the Trail Blazers' advantage, 124:117, the Trail Blazers lead by 7 points! ”

Shaunley continued to brief Portland fans who were unable to attend the game and watch the game in front of the television.

The four minutes in the middle of the fourth quarter became the most thrilling segment of the game, as the Nuggets launched a powerful counterattack under the leadership of Inglish, and Knight and Leaf were all on fire.

English scored his 40th point of the game with four minutes left.

The shooting rate of the Trail Blazers has dropped a lot compared with the third quarter, and when Gan Guoyang entered the regular season again, playing with the Nuggets was the stage of playing back and running, and more importantly, he had no way to make up for the delay on the defensive end as he did in the third quarter, because people's physical strength is limited, and that kind of defense consumes great physical strength.

Gan Guoyang's high-intensity mobile defense throughout the quarter is already very amazing.

The Nuggets once closed the score to just four points, but Vanderwich stepped up and showed no mercy in the face of his old friend Inglis, decisively using his individual singles to renew the life of the Trail Blazers when the rest of his teammates did not feel it.

Vandewich is not quite the same as Inglisch, although he is about the same height as Inglish and is very good at mid-to-long-range shooting, but he is heavier and stronger, so in the past the Nuggets' small lineup, he has been pushed to the power forward position.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, Vanderwig began to go more to the low post and to the inside, the Nuggets' interior height was insufficient, and Vanderwig could be said to be a dozen and a dozen in it.

Seeing Van Deweic continue to score and continue to cement the lead for the Trail Blazers, Doug Mo immediately called a timeout, and he couldn't let Van Deweew continue to score like this.

"The Nuggets have a timeout, it looks like they have to make some adjustments to Vanderwicki, otherwise there are more than four minutes left before the end of the game, and the seven-point gap will be out of reach for the Nuggets."

"Isemer, you replace Knight and pay attention to the defense against Vanderwicki, I'm sure you can. Also, others, don't let the Trail Blazers pass the ball into Vanderwig's hands so easily, give them some interruptions, don't make them too smooth! In attack, please be more bold, we are running out of time, but I believe you have the ability to make up for the 7-point gap! I have full confidence in you! "Doug Mo made substitutions off the court and inspired Nuggets players to let go and be bold on offense.

Dan Iseer, one of the Nuggets' former three musketeers, only by the 1984-1985 season, the veteran who entered the league in 1970, was showing signs of fatigue.

In 1983, the white player also played 80 regular-season games as the Nuggets' starting center, when he was the team's No. 3 scorer, averaging 21.6 points per game.

Iseer's height is inferior to Gan Guoyang, only 6'9, you must know that it is not the fifties or sixties anymore, at that time 6'9 was the standard height of the center, and in the eighties, Gan Guoyang's 6-foot-10 center forward is too short.

And Dan Isere, a small interior player who is still white, can win the 2010 results in the NBA and the black-dominated beast league like ABA.

In his prime, in the early '70s, he was even able to average 3,010 per game in ABA.

Even in the higher level of the NBA, he still maintained a very good competitive form and was always a reliable interior scorer, which naturally benefited from his superb basketball skills.

In the professional basketball league, players with technical flow are always the longest-lived.

But no matter how long he lives, he can't withstand the erosion of time, this season is the last season for Isher, and he has already stated before the season that he will choose to retire after playing this season.

At the same time, with the completion of the big deal with the Trail Blazers, the younger Wayne Cooper also replaced Iser as the Nuggets' starting center.

But at key moments in the game, Doug Mo still trusted the veteran who has worked hard in the league for 15 years and sent him on the court to stabilize the Nuggets' interior line.

"Hello, lad." At the end of the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, and Isel smiled and greeted Gan Guoyang after seeing him.

Gan Guoyang also smiled reluctantly at Isel, but he knew in his heart that it would be really troublesome to face this "old guy".

In the league, what Gan Guoyang hates most is those old fritters with average physical fitness, rich experience, and outstanding skills, especially those white old fritters, who are much more cunning than black players.

For example, Mike Gominsky of the Nets is an interior player that Gan Guoyang hates very much.

Similarly, the Nuggets' Dan Iseer is also the object of Gan Guoyang's hatred, this guy can be inside and out on the offensive end, very slippery, and on the defensive end, he has a lot of small actions with rich experience, and Gan Guoyang has been suffocated more than once in the regular season.

However, the main purpose of Iseer now is only one, which is to limit Van Devic, at least not to let Van Devic do whatever he wants on the inside.

"The game went on, the Nuggets were going to speed up their offense, Leaf dribbled quickly across the halfcourt, and Colter kept his eyes on it very closely." Ramsey also replaced Colt at this time, allowing Colter, who was taller and younger, to consume Leaf.

Leaf has unknowingly scored 15 points and 16 assists in this game, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the engine of the Nuggets.

"Iser went to the top of the arc to get the ball, Sampson was playing against him, he passed the ball to Inglish, and Inglish took it!"

The Nuggets' offense was quite fast-paced, with Iser responding to the ball at the top of the arc, and Inglish coming around the strong side to the right side to catch the ball, and he didn't care if Drexler's defense was tight or not, he had to make a shot.

"Phew!" The ball didn't go in! Inglish's hand also continued to decline with the consumption of physical strength.

"Rebounding...... Iseer makes a basket! The ball is in, Iseer's rebound! Gan is too careless! ”

Gan Guoyang was about to pocket the rebound, but he didn't know that Iseer suddenly slipped in from the side, and with a light touch of his hand, he pointed the ball into the basket.

At 124:119, the gap between the two sides is only 5 points.

The Trail Blazers' offense, this offense will be crucial, if the score is scored, the point difference is maintained at more than 5 points, and the mentality of the Trail Blazers must be stabilized by one point.

If it can't be scored, giving the Nuggets a chance to fight back and narrow the difference to one goal, then the suspense of the game will be great.

So, Colter was cautiously dribbling on the outside, and he was looking for Van Dewig, but Van Dewech was defended by Iser in front of him.

As a former teammate of Van Deweic, Issel is very familiar with Van Dewig, and he used a half-circle to organize Van Dewicki to receive the ball in the low post.

At this time, the best way to deal with Iser is to rely on the cover of his teammates to get rid of Ise, who is no longer dexterous enough on his legs and feet.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang quickly mentioned the line to make a one-block cover for Vanderwig.

However, the inexperienced Colter made a mistake when he did not pass the ball to Van de Verch, opting instead to give the ball to Drexler on the right baseline.

Drexler's focus in the fourth quarter was on defending Inglish, and he had already committed four fouls.

Colter saw that Van Dewic was entangled by Issel, so he handed the ball to Drexler, who was in the defensive gap on the bottom line.

But with Drexler's mid-range shooting level, it was really difficult for him to shoot such a key shot at the 20-foot position, and in this game, Drexler's mid-range shot didn't feel good, he still relied more on breakthroughs and fast breaks.

So Drexler paused after receiving the ball, and dribbled horizontally with his left hand to break inside!

Defending him was the Nuggets' scoring guard Dunn, who naturally didn't let go of Drexler's breakthrough, two meters away from him, but that's it, he still couldn't block Drexler's breakthrough.

However, a man appeared on Drexler's breakaway path, and Drexler jumped up to the basket and crashed into him hard.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew and someone fouled the ball.

Everyone was staring at the referee's gesture, and Drexler, who was on the ground, also looked up at O'Donnell, waiting for O'Donnell to make a cross-leg move (to block the foul).

But O'Donnell didn't cross his waist, but made a punching move! He judged Drexler to hit someone with the ball!

“hat-a-**ing-foul! (What the is this!) Drexler saw O'Donnell's gesture and instantly sat up from the ground.

Drexler still has a very good temper in the NBA, at least his temper is better than Gan Guoyang, but at such a critical moment, when an offense and defense may decide the outcome of the game, Drexler has no way to calm down.

"Shut your mouth and go to the game honestly." O'Donnell gave Drexler a warning.

"What the are you going to do! Obviously I started it first! His feet have moved! Will you be a referee or not! Drexler was excited, knowing that this foul was his fifth foul of the game, and he had to defend Inglish, and if he was sent off, the Trail Blazers would be very passive.

"I repeat, shut your mouth and go to the game, this is not the first NBA game I blow, and it won't be the last, go back obediently!" O'Donnell has played more games than Drexler has played and watched, and he is very calm in the face of the excitement of his players.

"Go back to Clyde! Go back to the game! Ramsey also reminded Drexler on the sidelines.

"Calm down, Clyde!" Gan Guoyang also stepped forward to drag Drexler at this time, he knew that Drexler was indeed a little resentful in this game, because he defended Inglish's fouls several times, he thought he didn't foul, but O'Donnell just blew it.

Drexler, who had accumulated resentment, finally broke out, and he yelled at O'Donnell, "**-you-ass! (Explode your asshole!) )”

This really annoyed O'Donnell, of course he wouldn't talk back, but directly gave Drexler a technical foul, and the Nuggets were going to make free throws!

At this time, Ramsey's face was full of chagrin and helplessness, and Drexler's impulse suddenly dragged the game into a confusing situation, and he was no longer in his control.
