Chapter Twenty-Five: Small Actions and Black Hands (Part II)
Today's Duke vs. North Carolina, the highlight of this round, ESPN sent their strongest commentary lineup, Mike Brin, Van Gundy, Jackson, this iron triangle.
Before the opening, Brin commented, "Welcome to the live broadcast brought by ESPN, you can see that the atmosphere is very hot! To be honest, even in the NCAA Finals, I have never seen such a hot atmosphere! ”
Jackson nodded, "Of course, you have to know that tonight is Duke vs. North Carolina, and every time the two teams meet, it's as fierce as Mars hitting Earth." Tonight's game is destined to be good. ”
Van Gundy Jr. also said, "Who do you think will win tonight, although Warren of North Carolina is also capable of participating in this year's NBA draft, but the prediction is only the end of the first round, and it may even fall into the second round." Duke's Parker is a strong contender for the No. 1 pick. ”
"I'm more bullish on North Carolina, you have to know that this is North Carolina's home stadium, the most famous devil's home stadium, especially for Duke," Jackson said. With the support of the fans in the stadium, North Carolina will inevitably burst out with a twelve-point fighting spirit. Warren will also do his best to prove that he can't lose to Parker! If Parker doesn't play well tonight, Duke won't have much chance of winning! ”
Brin said he saw the players already standing on the aisle, so he said, "Let's wait and see!" Now the players from both sides are about to play, take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides! ”
At this time, the DJ on the scene began to introduce the players to the game.
The first to appear was the visiting team's Duke University, and when the DJ introduced the Duke players, he spoke with a weak breath, almost like a patient with terminal lung cancer who was just one step away from stepping into a coffin.
Listening to the introduction, the Duke players felt very uncomfortable.
It felt even worse to walk out of the aisle and hear the boos from the room.
When it was the turn of the North Carolina players to play, the DJ, who was already dying of illness, was like a chicken blood, and his voice was high, and the high notes could be compared to Pavarotti.
When North Carolina star T.J. Warren played, the arena suddenly set off a volume storm.
Compare your own treatment, and then look at others.
The Duke players were all upset and whispered discussions.
"Damn, that bastard came out, I must teach him a good lesson tonight!"
"Yes, he must be called a good man!"
"Raised by a son of a bitch, I want to pump him just by looking at his face!"
……
Zhang Zifeng was also dissatisfied, but he couldn't teach him a lesson now, because the game was about to start.
Zhang Zifeng still did not appear in the starting lineup.
The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.
There were no changes to Duke's starting lineup.
Point guard: Cook. Shooting guard: Hood. Small forward: Parker. Power forward: Vince Law. Center: Jefferson;
North Carolina's starting lineup is: Defender: Pego. Shooting guard: Rodney Pavez. Small forward: T.J. Warren. Power forward: James Michael McAdoo. Center: Bryce Johnson;
At the beginning of the game, Johnson grabbed the ball and racketed it to the backcourt.
Pego grabbed the ball and dribbled to the front court to pass to Warren.
Warren dribbled with his back to Parker and pushed inside, and North Carolina, which was playing at home, showed a tough attitude from the start.
Parker stuck in the back, preventing Warren from advancing easily. "I'm not going to let you score!"
With a snort, Warren dribbled with his right hand and his left hand against his abdomen, dribbling with his back to Parker.
This kind of back-to-body strong attack is generally an arm plus a part of the back to impact the opponent and break away the offensive space.
Warren hit twice in a row, and on the third time, his body sank, and then suddenly his body was lifted up, and his shoulder suddenly hit Parker.
The little action was too fast for the referee to see.
Parker slammed into his chest so hard that he couldn't catch his breath and the defense stopped.
Jefferson didn't pay attention for a moment, and when he reacted, Warren had already turned around and shot and scored two points.
Old K jumped up from his seat and sprayed at the referee, "You're not mistaken! Didn't you see what that bastard did? ”
The referee ignored the complaints of the old K and walked to the frontcourt.
Jefferson grabbed the ball and ran to serve, asking, "Jabari, what's wrong, why did it stop all of a sudden?"
Parker rubbed his chest and said, "That bastard, just hit me with the shoulder." Hurt! ”
Jefferson heard it and shouted: "I have long said that there will be a lot of small moves and black hands in this game, don't you remember?" Remember to pay attention, if the other party dares to play small actions, you must appeal to the referee! ”
Parker nodded and said, "Hmm! ”
Cook dribbled to the front court and was just about to pass to Parker when suddenly there was a tingling pain in his lower back, and as soon as his hand was released, the basketball was out of his hand.
As if he had known about it, Pego sprang out, scooped up the basketball and ran towards the frontcourt.
Parker hurriedly chased back, and Cook angrily complained to the referee that Pego had committed a foul just now and pinched his waist.
The referee shook his head to indicate that he did not see it, and motioned for the game to continue.
Cook was complaining that the rest of the North Carolina players didn't stop, and they rushed forward.
Parker retreated quickly, but couldn't withstand the opponent's three-on-one, Warren made a layup, 0-4.
Being overshadowed, Parker angrily picked up the falling basketball and smashed it to the ground.
Duke's possession, Cook dribbling the ball to the frontcourt.
After receiving the ball, Parker got rid of Warren's defense with the help of Jefferson's cover, and then changed direction and broke through to the inside layup, and suddenly felt a push on his waist.
It's not heavy, and it's just for a moment, but the balance of the body is disrupted.
Parker throws the basketball to the basket in an awkward position.
The ball bounced a few times around the basket and still fell out.
McAdoo grabbed the rebound and handed it to Pego.
Hood stepped forward to block it, and North Carolina's fast break didn't work.
Warren received the ball from Pego in the front court, leaned on Parker with his back, hit Parker a few times, and saw that he couldn't push it in, Warren grabbed the ball with both hands and turned around to shoot.
Parker stuck on it, raising his hands in the air, blocking Warren's projection from view.
When Warren turned, he grabbed the ball with his left elbow and raised it a little more, and that was it, the elbow "just right" hit Parker's ribs.
Parker was elbowed in pain and couldn't stop Warren's shot for a while.
Warren scored two points, 0-6.
Continued to use small movements to make a fuss, and a wave of anger rushed to the brain along with the tingling pain in his waist.
Parker got angry and shoved Warren. “FUCK YOU!”
Pushed by his opponent, Warren fell as if he was seriously injured.
As soon as the North Carolina players saw Warren fall to the ground, they gathered around the referee to demand "justice".
Pego stood next to the referee and kept shouting, Parker's action just now was very bad, he must be sent off the field!
Duke's players also rushed to the referee to complain, there are a lot of small actions in North Carolina, and Warren is acting!
The referee thought about it for a moment and felt that Parker had indeed committed a foul just now, but it was not enough to hurt Warren so badly.
He betrayed Parker with a T, and North Carolina with a penalty.
Pego was so unhappy that he wanted to continue to put pressure on the referee in the hope of ejecting Parker from the game.
has been arguing in his ear like this, and the referee has long been tired of it.
It's not that he doesn't know the between North Carolina and Duke, and what he wants to do if he gives a T.
The referee gestured for Pego to shut up.
If he continued to be brutal, he wouldn't mind giving Pego a T.
Pego immediately shut up, though he didn't rush Parker out of the game. But a plot is not bad.
Seeing that the referee was only willing to give fouls, Warren, who was still lying on the ground, got up with the help of his teammates and prepared to make free throws.
At this time, he still looked seriously injured, the whole person was jumping around, and pointed to his head as if he was demonstrating, sarcastically pointing to Parker as a brute bull who couldn't use his brain.
Looking at Warren's arrogant appearance, Parker was angry, and he pounced on Warren like a rampaging bull that enraged Red.
Jefferson hugged Parker all over the place, and he was able to pull him down.
Seeing that Parker was emotional, Old K didn't dare to take the risk and called a timeout.
