Chapter 285: It's So Cold Today!
"It's a little cold today!"
The next day, Zhang Fu was frozen early in the morning by the sudden cooler temperature.
Today's temperature is not just a little cool, but a few cold!
This will make him hold the two girls to keep warm, but he still feels a little cold, don't you have a cold?
Zhang Qi suddenly had a thought, don't give him a ghost thing like "drifting snow" for a while, he can't bear this kind of blow.
On May 28, the league is ready to announce his punishment today, yesterday the Bulls have beaten the Heat on the road, the current total score is 3:1, seeing that this round of the series is almost over, Miami wants to win another game in Chicago, the difficulty is not ordinary.
The fourth game of these two teams is no different from before, the Bulls are still only Jordan can play normally, although Pippen pretended to be 13 for half a day before the game, but he still only scored 14 points, only one point more than Rodman, and his face was beaten by himself. And Kukoc, the benevolent brother, still hasn't scored a point, which will be sprayed into a dog by Bulls fans.
Kukoc is really miserable now, and in this round of the series, he has completely ruined the fame he has accumulated over the past four years. Although his performance in the first three playoffs was just as bad, it was the first time he was so miserable this year. So far, he has only averaged 6 points per game, and this kind of play is really on the same level as O'Neal Jr.
The Heat are also very depressed, they can stalemate with the Bulls for most of the time every time, but they can't beat the Bulls in the final stage, how can they not be angry?
This also allowed Jordan's ability to show again, and most of the credit for the Bulls' repeated defeats of the Heat in the fourth quarter was due to him, especially with the average of 11 points per game at the end of the series, Jordan's performance was impeccable.
But again, if the Bulls play the Heat, it is so difficult, how can they win when they meet the Lakers?
The current Chicago fans are pinning their hopes on the league to ban Zhang Fu, and his elbow is so bad, it shouldn't be able to be washed, right?
What, can't be washed?
Chicago fans are so naïve that if they can't wash it even to this extent, what's the use of the league?
And, don't think that if it's cold, it's really going to snow, it's two different things.
It's a little cold today, and the minimum temperature suddenly drops to 10 degrees, but you want snow? That's still naïve!
At noon, the NBA official finally announced the punishment results of the Los Angeles Lakers forward Zhang Zhu for elbowing Jazz forward Carl Malone in the fourth game of the Western Conference finals.
Well, there are not many official words, and the title is just one sentence - "Koala Baby" is exempt from ban.
That's right, that's the result of the penalty.
Zhang Mao's "second-degree malicious foul" was of course valid, but the league did not ban him, but only fined $100,000 and it was over.
Seeing this, Jazz fans didn't have time to protest, and suddenly found that there were many words on the back, and when they looked closely, they spat blood from their mouths......
Brian Russell was so bad for maliciously pushing and shoving an opposing player, so he upgraded the original "first-degree malicious foul" to "second-degree malicious foul", but there was no ban penalty, but a fine of $50,000 was imposed.
The punishment for making Jazz fans hit the top with five thunders is not over, and at this moment, even Malone, whose lungs have been blown up, don't want to run, the league has repeatedly reviewed the game video, and he has been punished for a malicious elbow attack in the third quarter for a "first-degree malicious foul", but there is also no ban, but a fine of 25,000 US dollars will be imposed.
Now Jazz fans are a fryer!
Sloane choked on a mouthful of old blood in his throat, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his chest, but at this moment, he couldn't even scold a word, because he really didn't know where to start!
What is this called?
They have been swept away, people have been mutilated, and now they want to whip the corpses again?
What a wonderful penalty! The emotional Lakers became a victim, that bastard burst people's lungs, and he didn't even have a ban, can the world be a little darker?
The New York Times reported after temperatures plummeted to 9 degrees in Los Angeles: "In this year's playoffs, the Lakers' momentum is simply unstoppable, and they are even better than the defending champion Bulls in terms of championship tendency." But it was so smooth sailing, and there was no resistance to it, and it seemed that there was a set. The news leaked from many sources shows that the Lakers' entry into the Finals this time may have been instructed by Stern, so the battle in the West went exceptionally well. Especially in the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, Lyon's malicious foul was not even banned, didn't the official wear glasses when reviewing the video?
This is a bit heart-wrenching, Xiao Hua couldn't help but hold on to the frame of his glasses after seeing the report of the New York Times, and scolded loudly in his heart.
Detroit media said they also had something to say.
This has happened to the Lakers more than once, and in 1988 they became the victims of the league's favor of the Lakers.
Does anyone still remember?
In the seventh game of the Finals that year, the Pistons vs. the Lakers, the Lakers still trailed by one point with 14 seconds left in the game, when Abdul-Jabbar made the ultimate shot, but his signature move "Sky Hook" missed at that critical moment.
Next, a classic scene emerged......
"Tiangou" doesn't care whether the ball goes in or not, it will fall to the ground first, so after the person turns on his back and then there is an incomparably desolate scream, the referee's whistle immediately sounds, like a duet with perfect cooperation.
According to the Pistons' players after the game, their closest defender to Abdul-Jabbar was still "far, far away" at that time, but this unwarranted foul directly killed the Pistons.
At that time, the Lakers' talisman was naturally the referee, but who gave the referee's talisman?
The referee is also very good at times, he just needs to have the league-awarded whistle in his mouth, and then he can do as the Lyon ad says - anything is possible.
As soon as this report came out, the temperature in Los Angeles dropped to 8 degrees......
"Yahoo Sports" soon began to fall into the ground, and they got a secret message from an unnamed NBA referee: all the referees this year received two euphemistic reminders from the league, which were actually blowing penalties for two people - Jordan and Zhang Fu.
According to the referee, once Michael/Lyon have committed two fouls, they have to pay attention.
To put it simply, in any game between the Bulls and the Lakers, if these two men return to the bench in the first quarter because they have received two fouls early, the referee must call the other two referees to his side and say the following, "If they are blown for a foul again, it must be a foul that is obvious enough." When they show up for a normal scramble foul, then put the foul on the other player. ”
When Zhang Qi watched these reports in the temperature of 7 degrees, his eyes were disdainful, and his smile was disdainful, which public opinion would not affect him at all, including the lower and lower temperatures, and after a few days, no one would discuss it anymore, and the temperature would return to normal.
"Remember, don't let them deflate the basketball."
After seeing the league's punishment, Harris could only sigh in his heart: It is still comfortable to be the coach of a giant team, and he doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all.
Zhang knows what Harris means, and everyone knows that the Bulls like to deflate the basketball during the game, which has been complained by many teams, but the referees have always turned a blind eye, and this situation will be tacitly approved by the referees most of the time.
The Heat have been protesting against the despicable behavior of the Bulls players in this series, although the Bulls have the 213cm tall Langley in the starter, but the Australian center is just a fake starter, not for long, and the Bulls are mostly a small lineup.
The problem is that small people can only rely on mobility and blocking people to grab rebounds, and Rodman definitely doesn't want the basketball to bounce too high and too far, so in order to be able to do this, the Bulls players will quietly deflate the ball every game.
The height of the Lakers players is not short, especially Mutombo's altitude advantage is very obvious against the Bulls, it can be said that the Lakers' starters except Mason have a height advantage in every position. If the basketball is high and far, then the Bulls' rebounding advantage will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult for Rodman to steal Mutombo.
"Well, on our turf, they don't want to deflate the basketball anymore."
Zhang Wei still has this confidence, but if he reads the report of "Fox Sports", he may not think so.
"Fox Sports" is also rubbing on his popularity, attacking the dark side of the league.
They interviewed a retired referee who stabbed the league again, saying, "If we give a favorable blow to the teams that are behind in the series, no one will complain." So I know that no matter who is strong or weak in the Finals, the series is going to be 3-3 and then the better team is going to win Game 7. ”
This statement is a bit scary, Zhang has never believed in such conspiracy theories, but some people should feel that they have found the truth.
Zhang Yu also knows that the dark side will exist in any realm, but if the darkness is like this, it would be too exaggerated, right?
Before his idea fell, he felt that the temperature seemed to drop a little again, which was also a bit excessive, and you don't want to do anything about the weather!
Fortunately, after the temperature dropped to 6 degrees, it was not excessive, otherwise it would have been a real trouble!
Now that the Lakers swept the Jazz 4-0, they can rest from the 27th until the Eastern Conference Finals are decided.
In fact, it is also fast, after the Bulls defeated the Heat on the 27th, the two teams will start the fifth game on the 29th.
Zhang Wei felt that the Bulls should not waste any more time, Jordan was too stable in the first four games, and every time the team needed him to step up, he did not disappoint, but the Heat has never been able to turn the tide for the team at critical moments.
"You say, is today's basketball out of gas again?"
As the Lakers players watched Game 5 between the two teams, someone asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
"It's simple, you can see if the basketball is high, it's not far away."
Zhang Qi knows that when a normal basketball hits the basket, it will generally bounce to the height of the top edge of the rebound, and sometimes it will bounce higher. But if it is a basketball that is out of breath, it is basically not high, and the landing point and speed will be completely different.
Rodman's flaw lies in his lack of height, if the basketball is not deflated, his ability to compete for rebounds will drop a lot when competing with high school forwards, because after the basketball is played high, there will be more time to react, and Rodman's footwork, prediction, enthusiasm and other advantages can not be brought into play, but high school forwards like Mutombo prefer to rebound a little higher.
Before a game begins, NBA referees must inspect and approve all equipment used in the game, including checking basketballs.
But when it hurts, the game went wrong as soon as it came up, and the Heat complained about the inconsistent height of the two halves.
It was so dark that the referee had to re-check it after protesting, only to find that there was indeed a basket that was two centimeters shorter, which was a bit excessive!
The Bulls don't look good, but that's not the end of it, the Heat seem to be prepared today, they are not satisfied with the two balls provided by the home team, and ask for another game ball that they think is more suitable.
The referee said that there was no problem, but both match balls actually leaked.
Of course, the Heat players refuse to use this kind of ball, and needless to say, the Bulls must have practiced this kind of basketball landing point and shooting feel, but the Heat players are not used to this kind of leaky basketball.
The Zen master embodies his shamelessness, the basketball at the Bull's home court is all leaking, and in the end, he changed four or five basketballs in a row, and none of them are normal, which makes the referee on duty a little embarrassed, and the belly slander of the bull is so obvious!?
I'm afraid that Te Riley is obviously superior this time, during the change of the ball, Mr. Godfather has been watching the Bulls' clumsy behavior coldly, just when the fans in front of the TV began to be unbearable, the Miami player suddenly took out a small pump from the bench, which instantly made the Bulls silent!
Zhang Qi was stunned by his teammates in front of the TV, and then laughed so much that even tears came out.
This is a pump, this is a naked slap in the face!
The faces of the Bulls players really became extremely ugly, they never expected the Heat to give them such a hand, this face was a bit hard, right?
I saw Hardaway holding a pocket pump, "snorting", and filled a basketball with only two clicks.
But that's not all, Hardaway picked up the disgruntled basketballs one by one, and filled his head with all his anger.
"This pierces the heart!"
The faces of the Bulls players are basically eggplant-shaped, even Jordan's face is red, and the morale of the Bulls team plummets by 50% in an instant!
"It's a great move, and when we go to the Bulls' home game, remember to bring a pump with us."
Zhang Qian said that the Heat's hand is really the ultimate move, and he is suddenly optimistic that the Heat can win this game, and the Bulls players are now more embarrassed than angry.
The Bulls players are indeed ashamed and angry now, and it is "shame" that occupies the main emotion, and the Heat's trick is really hurtful.
But many people can't understand why the bull has such a big advantage and has to go to great lengths to take advantage of such a small advantage.
Zhang Mao didn't understand the Bulls' thoughts, but he really guessed correctly, and the Bulls, who were demoralized by Pat Riley's series of commotions, trailed the Heat by 19:30 by 11 points in the first quarter.
This is the first time that Miami has such a big advantage in the first quarter, and it is still playing on the road, and the Bulls are afraid that they will be killed by their own small actions!
Or rather, they're going to be killed by that pump!
The Bulls players lost face in front of the whole world, and they fell behind by a large score in the first quarter, which is indeed a rhythm that has to hit the street no matter how you look at it.
The Heat players are in full shape, no matter how magical Jordan is, he can't reverse such a big disadvantage, and today's Bulls house leak happened to rain overnight, Pippen only played 7 minutes in the first quarter and left the game with an injury, and he is currently unknown whether he is alive or dead. This made the Lakers laugh even more from ear to ear in front of the TV, could it be that this year is really the destiny of the Lakers?
If Pippen is really injured, only one Jordan's Bulls will face the Lakers, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to win a game, and even the suspense of this round will suddenly increase.
But what about against the Heat?
The Lakers are still not afraid of this team that has no output at critical moments, can a Mourning still overturn the Lakers?
However, the smiles on the Lakers players quickly faded in the second quarter......
No one expected that the Bulls in adversity, this group of role players actually began to exert their power-
Australia's waste center, Luke Longley contributed 6 points and 3 blocks in a single quarter, which actually humiliated Mourning twice.
The half-crippled Ron Harper also scored 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and suddenly transformed into a low-profile version of Jordan. While that was the role he had been playing until his major injury, it had been a long time since Bulls fans had seen Ron Harper play this form.
The Bulls relied on two role players who had been languishing, and actually came back to a 30-19 in the quarter to tie the score in one fell swoop.
"How could it be such a script?"
Zhang Qi couldn't accept it, Pippen was gone, and the bull didn't collapse?
The Bulls really didn't collapse, and there was another person who stepped up in the third quarter, and that person was an old friend familiar to the Lakers players - Bison Deller.
After leaving the Lakers, Bison came to the Bulls again, but he didn't expect to help the Bulls break out of the small universe today, scoring 10 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and it only took 5 minutes.
This unexpected blow sent the Heat from heaven to hell in an instant, and after the first three quarters, they were already eight points behind the Bulls.
Many Heat players don't even understand why the good things are suddenly the way they are.
Pat Riley didn't expect this to be the outcome, and he knew in his heart that the Heat were gone.
The Bulls led by 8 points in the final quarter, even without Pippen, it would be difficult for the Heat to catch up with the score, not to mention that now the momentum has shifted to the Bulls' side, with their unreliability in the first four games at critical moments, today 80% is GG.
"We can officially cross out the Heat's name."
After Zhang Wei saw that Jordan scored 4 points in a row in the fourth quarter, he had already removed the potential opponent of the Heat in his heart.
There is no suspense in this game, and the Lakers' opponent in the Finals will be the Chicago Bulls!
