Chapter 291: I have the ability to elbow me
Garnett felt like he had been knocked on the door of the head with a hammer, and when he fell to the ground, he felt like the world was spinning, and he lay on the floor for a moment without knowing where he was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 This is not the first time that Malone's iron elbow has produced such destructive power, he once elbowed Thomas, the leader of the Bad Boy Legion, and once elbowed 7-foot-1 super center, Admiral David Robinson, and Mavericks guard Nash's teeth have also been hit hard by iron elbow.
This time it was Garnett who suffered. The team doctor immediately rushed to the court to surround Garnett and began to diagnose the situation, the referee also stopped the game, and the reporters near the baseline held the camera to shoot wildly, and the heavy elbow in the air just now must have been recorded by countless flashes.
The Celtics players certainly didn't say yes, with Paul Pierce being the first to rush forward to confront Malone, and Fisher stepped forward to try to separate the two. Of course, Malone looked innocent, and his movements were indeed not big, and he did not bend his elbow directly to top Garnett's head. It's just that when chasing the risk, the elbow "rubs" against Garnett's head.
It's just that God knows how much strength he has in such a rub, his iron arms that have been unremittingly exercised for twenty years are like two big pliers, and a person is knocked by the hardest corner of the big pliers, how much does it hurt?
Malone has elbowed countless people in his life, and the more superstars he dares, the more daring he dares to elbow, so elbowing a Garnett is not a problem at all. Pierce is like this, he just joined the league and was still getting the MVP, so naturally he didn't pay attention to it. Therefore, Ma Long, who had just committed a terrible foul, was able to talk and laugh with the referee on the field, and pouted and chatted.
But soon there was a commotion on the court, Malone heard the exclamations of the fans, and then saw a menacing crowd rushing from the Celtics bench.
Malone thought it was the Celtics players who came up to find fault, and looked at the leader of the Celtics head coach Fox Leon, and the other players were like ministers who were trying to stop Leon from stepping on the court.
"This guy is Fox Leon, Iron Fist Coach ......" The name of Leon Iron Fist Coach is also known to everyone in the league, and Iron Elbow Malone is also afraid when he hears this name, it is said that this guy is a boxer, and it is difficult for NBA athletes with a big height to be his opponent.
Looking at Fox-Leon Malone who rushed over, he also clenched his fists, but soon he found that although Leon was aggressive and kept pushing away the hands of other people around him, he didn't seem to want to come up and do it himself. At this time the referee also. Hurriedly stepped forward to stop Leon, and kept telling him: Calm down, Fawkes, you are in a special situation now, calm down!
The special circumstances mentioned by the referee of course mean that Leon is still on bail, and once he has violent behavior on the court, he will definitely go back to the detention center and stay until the verdict finally comes out, and he will not be able to continue to direct the game.
"I don't know how to beat someone, I want to reason with him, reason!" Leon explained to the referee as he pushed him away and continued to walk over to Malone.
Malone was a head taller than Leon, but when Malone saw Leon's eyes, which were slightly angry but absolutely calm, he couldn't help but think of a man - Michael Jordan when he was fighting for victory.
"Elbow me." Leon looked at Malone and said, at this time, a group of Celtics players and Lakers players surrounded to try to separate them, but in fact, there was no conflict between them at all. Also because there were too many people, Malone couldn't hear what Leon was saying.
"What did you say?"
"Elbow me!" Leon spoke louder and pointed to his head.
"I'm going to let you elbow me with this son of a bitch, and you have the ability to elbow me!" Leon yelled at Malone.
In the past few days, because of lawsuits, rushing, and consecutive away games, Leon's description is a little haggard, and his hair is unkempt. He has been quite quiet in this game, sitting on the sidelines and watching the game carefully, and almost never commanding loudly. Then when he roared again, Malone seemed to see a male lion with erections, and he didn't dare to stare at Leon with his eyes anymore, so he could only tilt his head over and pretend that nothing had happened.
At this point, the referee knew that everything had to be strangled in the cradle, and he blew the whistle and then gave Leon a technical foul, followed by a first-degree malicious foul on Malone. At this time, Garnett had gradually come to his senses, stood up from the sidelines, supported his knees and adjusted his breathing with the help of the team doctor, checked the condition of his head, and confirmed that there was no big problem.
However, to be on the safe side, the team doctor still led Garnett back to the locker room, while Malone remained on the court. Under the control of the referee, the game quickly returned to normal, and the Celtics, who lost Garnett, suddenly lost their inside backbone. Leon, who had a technical foul, sat back on the sidelines, replaced Chris Anderson, and told Anderson: "Take care of Malone on the court, but promise me to restrain yourself, don't use violence, use your brain, use your brain." ”
So Chris Anderson, who gave the Lakers a fatal injury last season, came to the court to temporarily replace Garnett.
I don't know if it was Leon who lost his momentum, or if Anderson got the true pass from Dennis Rodman, and in the next game, Karl Malone felt like he was back in the 1997 and 1998 finals, the big worm that was extremely haunting, and wanted to wrestle with him all the time but didn't want to fight, as if possessed this yellow-haired kid.
A technical foul, Malone didn't dare to make any more big moves, he tried to annoy this young man with some small actions in the confrontation, but he didn't expect Anderson to be soft and hard, and ignored all the small actions. On the contrary, in defense, those small actions can be returned, or even intensified.
Indeed, Anderson has long learned the trick of Marlon, and he has learned it from Rodman!
Jackson, who originally wanted to disturb the Celtics' mentality through a clash, found that Leon was angry, Leon ate a technical foul, but he didn't make a move, and he quickly calmed down, and what was even more terrifying was that the Celtics players also calmed down. In away games, it's okay to get caught up in anger, the home team is entitled to be angry, and the away team has to be calm to survive.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers still trailed the Celtics, and when Pierce one-on-one Fox hit a step-back jumper to score his 36th point of the game, the difference between the two sides had stretched to 8 points. Staples began to slowly permeate a suffocating despair, which was even more breathless with the luxurious lineup and luxurious audience.
Jackson was also a little tightened by this breath, he has seen a lot of important games than this, he has had 9 finals, and won all of them; He also experienced deeper despair than that, in Game 6 of the 1992 Finals, Game 5 of the 1997 Finals, Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, and Game 7 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals, all of which he survived with his team.
It's just a regular season game, and it doesn't mean anything, but Jackson still has an irrepressible sense of despair in his heart, which just flashes and quickly disappears into his mind. Because he felt that the Celts had not discovered all of it, that they had not reached its end. The Chicago Bulls have reached it in the past, the Lakers in 2001 have come close, and Jackson doesn't think anyone else can pull up such a team except for him and his disciples.
Now, such a possibility is in front of him, a possible person, and a possible team.
In the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, when Kevin Garnett walked out of the tunnel and returned to the court, the whole Stamp fell silent. Garnett silently walked back to the sideline with his head down, and Leon stepped forward to give him a hug, patted him on the head, and called a timeout to replace Garnett on the court. The difference between the two sides on the field is 7 points.
At this time, Jackson knew that this game, they were finished. (To be continued.) )
