Chapter 205 Playing ball is like a play, and it depends on acting skills
Cousins is known to be immature and easily angry, but people are still very surprised to see him boxing Zhang Feng, he has never been so out of shape, and the most serious thing is to compete with Carter for rebounds, and he pushed Carter away.
In the game where Carter was pushed, the referee on duty directly gave a first-degree malicious foul, and after reviewing the video, it was upgraded to a second-degree malicious foul, and now boxer Zhang Feng may be directly expelled from the game and banned for one game.
Kim Terry was pacing anxiously on the sidelines, he was worried that the referee's decision would end the game early and make the next few games more difficult, the Pelicans had a bad record this season, and he didn't want to be fired because of Cousins' suspension, it would be hilarious to follow in Watson's footsteps in that way.
The big screen at the scene began to play the image of Cousins attacking Zhang Feng with his fist from multiple angles, and after many observations, the referee finally concluded that Cousins' fist did not touch Zhang Feng's chest.
Seeing the result of this decision, Kim Terry breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not immediately ejected, he could accept it, and the first-level malicious foul only made the Kings more presumptuous when defending inside.
Because of the free throws and technical free throws, Zhang Feng hit two free throws in quick succession, directly extending the difference to 12 points, and this time Kim Terry had to call a timeout.
"Cousins, you can't let the opponent control your emotions and focus on scoring, defense and rebounding."
This kind of naming and criticism is a bit unpleasant, not to mention the straight-tempered Cousins, but he didn't refute it knowing that he was wrong, just waved his hand impatiently, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I know."
Such an answer made Kim Terry bitter, but NBA coaches are weak as long as they are not famous coaches, and he has no choice but to endure and continue: "Holiday will give the ball to the inside more later, and the ball must be passed up, not stagnant."
Holiday was not happy to say this, the score was all cut by the two insiders, and now Cousins is definitely looking for trouble on the inside, why continue to play inside? He really couldn't figure it out, so he had to put it down to the coach being stupid.
The Pelicans timeout ended, and the whole team returned to the court with dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.
Holiday was fully expressed on the first offense, and he didn't follow the arrangement, and went straight to the three-point line to pull out and force the iron. After the king grabbed the rebound, he organized a wave of fast play, and Zhang Feng assisted Justin to easily score 2 points.
It stands to reason that Holiday has signed a big contract and should have no desire to help the team achieve good results, but he just likes to go it alone and has a very low shooting percentage, which leads to Bushy Eyebrows and Cousins often scoring 30 points and not winning games.
After the first few games of this season, the biggest concern for Pelicans fans is that Holiday has a big contract that will lead to a salary lock for the team behind him, and in the end, Cousins and Bushy Eyebrows can't be retained.
But Holiday on the court didn't think about that, he continued to carry the ball through the half, he stopped the ball at the top of the arc, and then dribbled back and forth in his crotch to find an opportunity to break through Zhang Feng.
However, Zhang Feng did not give Holiday any space at all, and he wanted to continue to carry out his plan to blow up the Pelicans' interior line.
Under Zhang Feng's strict defense, Holiday didn't even have a chance to force him out, so he had no choice but to pass the ball.
After the thick eyebrows received the ball, several feints in a row deceived Randolph into a daze, but fortunately, Randolph stuck to the thick eyebrows with his years of defensive experience, and after a slight pause, the thick eyebrows chose to give the ball to Cousins under the basket.
With a technical foul on his back, Cousins' offensive moves are relatively small, while Willy, who defends him, is a bit unscrupulous, not only moving with a lot of amplitude but also reaching out to cut the ball.
Cousins couldn't be bothered, and he slapped the ball heavily on the ground with both hands and then dunked hard, and Willie took advantage of the situation to go to the ground.
Willy's action is more obvious to find a foul and fake fall, although it is a bit hateful, but it does foul. Normally, in this case, the referee can blow or not, and given that the target is Cousins, the referee blew him for an offensive foul.
"HAT" Cousins put his head in his hands to show that he couldn't understand, and he was about to rush forward to find the referee's theory, when the thick eyebrows reached out and hugged him.
Zhang Feng didn't expect Willy to suddenly become so spiritual, and secretly gave him a thumbs up, while Willy smiled darkly.
Turning around, the king attacked, Zhang Feng suddenly accelerated after receiving the ball on the baseline, and got rid of Holiday in two steps, but he suddenly slowed down when he reached the three-point line, and just when everyone was wondering what he meant, he broke through with a false break into the inside.
"Could it be that Zhang Feng didn't shoot three points today? Wasn't it a big vacancy just now? Kenny asked with a questioning look in his eyes.
"I think Zhang Feng wants to blow up a Pelicans interior so that he can win the game," O'Neal nodded frequently to explain.
O'Neal's actions showed that he was also guessing why Zhang Feng kept hitting the inside, which made Barkley directly start:
"Isn't it just a bad chance to take it? How can you analyze so many reasons? ”。
"You don't understand, you don't understand the ball" O'Neal fought back strongly, and Barkley was speechless.
As soon as he entered the inner line, Cousins and thick eyebrows invariably met Zhang Feng, of course, the two were one behind the other, strategically defending, and for a while, Zhang Feng was in a bad situation.
Passing the ball was not Zhang's first choice, he quickly took the turn after jumping to avoid Anthony, and then switched his right hand to his left hand under Cousins' interference and hit a basket.
Although it was already a very awesome layup to connect two people in the air, Zhang Feng was not satisfied, he kept shaking his head after he landed, and there were words in his mouth: "Layup is as easy as drinking water."
"What do you say?" was ridiculed like this, Cousins couldn't help it again, and rushed directly to Zhang Feng to theorize.
"I said your defense is weak, do you hear that?" Zhang Feng's performance was very exaggerated.
"F**K You" Cousins pushed Zhang Feng with both hands.
"Ah" Zhang Feng fell to the ground with a scream, covering his face with his hands, and then he felt wrong, so he covered his chest with his hands instead.
He learned this move from LeBron, covering his face to indicate the seriousness of the foul.
Sure enough, the referee directly signaled that Cousins had committed a first-degree malicious foul, and in addition to the previous malicious foul, Cousins would be ejected from the game.
Cowsinston was stunned, and before he could think about whether it was a theory, he was pulled out of the court by the Pelicans staff.
Kim Terry was also confused, and the result he tried so hard to avoid was played out in less than a few minutes.
The Kings players were all stunned, they had never seen such a full state of washing Zhang Feng, this is simply a textbook case of cheating and fouling.
Zhang Feng, who fell to the ground, couldn't hold back a smile at this time, he finally knew why he relied so much on acting skills for fake falls.
