Chapter Twenty-Four: Bruce Bowen
At the end of the timeout, both teams tacitly agreed that the main force was on the line.
With only five points left, it was clear that it was time to fight for bayonets again.
"Toot!"
A whistle blows, and the game begins.
The Spurs' Parker dribbled across the halfcourt, made a simple pick-and-roll with Duncan, and then smashed into the box and hit the basket.
When it was the Hornets' turn to attack, Paul wanted to return one, but found that he was caught again, so he had no choice but to pass the ball to Chen Yu on the side.
Chen Yu took the basketball and faced Bowen's defense in a three-threat pose.
Bowen sneered, stepped forward and wrapped around Chen Yu, put his right hand on his waist, and pinched it fiercely at the moment when the referee turned his head.
"Shhh
Chen Yu suddenly gasped in pain, and before he could react, Bowen took advantage of his pain to shoot the basketball, made a successful steal, and scored a quick attack.
"I%##&)!" Chen Yu covered his waist and scolded angrily, then walked to the sidelines and shouted to the referee: "He fouled!" He deliberately fouled just now! β
The referee was a white man, and when he heard Chen Yu's words, he glanced at Bowen who was innocent in the column, and then shook his head and said, "Sorry, I didn't see him foul." β
"He pinched me! Look here! With that, Chen Yu lifted the sports vest and showed the referee the bruises on his waist.
The referee turned a blind eye and said coldly: "Now please go back to the field to play, we have our own judgment on whether it is a foul or not." β
Chen Yu's anger surged, and he stomped his feet hatefully and scolded: "Fake! son of a bitchοΌ β
But unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yu's dirty words came out, the referee's face changed, and he decisively gave Chen Yu a technical foul.
"Phew!"
The audience at the scene was stunned for a moment, and then booed angrily, mixed with insults to the referee.
Chen Yu was even more angry, glaring at him as if he had stepped forward to reason with the referee, but was dragged back by Chandler who rushed over: "Man, if you are impulsive, you will be sent off, I am very experienced, don't be impulsive!" β
Paul and the others also rushed over and pulled Chen Yu away.
"It's really a special son of a bitch, it's obviously a foul." Chen Yu showed the bruises on his waist to his teammates, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Dude." Paul patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said, "Bowen is famous for his black hands, his style of play is dirtier, much dirtier than you think, this is just a small trick." β
"It's all pinched for me, it's just a small means?" Chen Yu was shocked: "This is really the NBA, not the WBA?!" β
"Oh buddy, you're so humorous." Paul pulled Chen Yu back into his own half and prepared to kick off: "You have to pay attention to Bowen against him, don't be leaned on by him again, and at the same time pay attention to the soles of your feet when you jump shots." β
Chen Yu closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed his anger and nodded.
At this time, the Chinese spectators watching the game have already cursed.
"It must have been Bowen who fouled him! He actually stretched out his hand to Chen Yu again. β
"The NBA should really kick this dirty guy out of the league."
"Is Chen Yu injured?"
"I feel like Feather God and Bowen are in the right place, it's a bit dangerous......"
The host and guests in the live broadcast room also started a discussion on this matter.
"Teacher Zhang, isn't it a foul for Bruce Bowen to make small moves?"
Zhang Weiping shook his head and said: "This kind of thing has been in the NBA since the beginning, and it was even more excessive before, but now it is much more civilized." I thought that the kind just now should be Bowen pinching Chen Yu, but the referee didn't see it, so naturally he couldn't judge blindly. β
Yu Jia hesitated, "Then Chen Yu is not a disadvantage when he is in opposition with this kind of black hand player?" β
"Haha." Zhang Weiping laughed twice, and then said meaningfully, "But this is the NBA......"
on the field.
The Hornets started to attack, and Paul nimbly dodged Parker's groping hand and dribbled across the half.
Chandler made a high-quality pick-and-roll for Paul at the top of the arc, and Paul took the opportunity to get into the Spurs' half, shooting a quick shot into the basket before Duncan stepped forward to defend.
Offensive and defensive reversal.
Spurs attack.
Bowen smiled maliciously, leaned in front of Chen Yu and said, "Baby, if you are bullied, you will find your mother, right?!" β
"Stupid!" Chen Yu scolded a Chinese sentence in Bowen's mouth.
"Huh? What did you say? Bowen was stunned, scratching his head in confusion.
"I praise you." Chen Yu said coldly.
Bowen naturally didn't believe it, shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you want me to give you another gentle touch?" I'm sure you'll love that feeling. β
Chen Yu's eyes widened: "Believe it or not, I'll beat you?" β
"Oh!" Bowen's eyes lit up, and he deliberately stretched out his left cheek and said, "You hit?" Give me a punch. Aren't you Chinese all gentle and elegant? Do you dare to hit me? β
"Get out!"
Of course, Chen Yu knew that once he gave him a punch, what was waiting for him was to quit the game, as well as the subsequent fines and league bans, so he chose not to deal with him anymore.
A few rounds later, the second quarter officially ended with the two teams tied at 44-38 and the Spurs ended the first half with a six-point lead.
The host of the live broadcast room of CCTV Sports Channel began the half-game summary.
"Then the first half of the New Orleans Hornets hosting the San Antonio Spurs is over, and the Hornets are currently six points behind. And my country's basketball player Chen Yu played well, and 21 of the team's 38 points were scored by Chen Yu. Yu Jia carried out a set of daily praise, and then turned to Zhang Weiping and asked: "Teacher Zhang, Chen Yu scored 21 points in this game, do you think it was accidental, or does he really have this strength." β
Zhang Weiping pretended to be surprised and nodded: "Of course you really have this strength." Our Chinese players are known for their soft touches. You are looking at Chen Yu's shooting, one ball is blind, two balls are blind, can't six or seven balls be blinded, right? Totally unreasonable. β
"Chen Yu is playing better and better, and we are sincerely happy for him. This year's Olympic Games are about to start, do you think Chen Yu is likely to participate in this year's Beijing Olympics? The host Yu Jia left a heavy topic.
Zhang Weiping understood and said seriously: "I got the news that the Basketball Association has definitely let Chen Yu participate in the training of the Chinese basketball national team, and I think we will soon be able to see Chen Yu in the Olympic arena in Beijing." β
Yu Jia said in surprise: "Really? Then we are looking forward to Chen Yu's performance in the Olympic Games......"
Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the game between the New Orleans Hornets and the San Antonio Spurs began.
Because Chen Yu played a whole quarter in the second quarter and had serious physical exertion, he sat on the bench in the third quarter.
The two teams have back and forth offense, Paul's state exploded, and his shooting rate was comparable to Chen Yu in the second quarter, but the old Spurs were still as stable as an old dog under the guard of Tim Duncan, so that the Hornets could not catch up with or even overtake the score.
