Chapter 351: Bullying Honest People

"In the second half, I'll deal with him."

Zhang Wei secretly mentioned it to Harris here, of course he didn't let Mason hear it, otherwise Mr. "Murderer" would have lost face, this guy is quite face-saving.

Harris nodded, it was rare for Zhang Yu to take the initiative to ask Ying to play the No. 4 position, he actually wanted to do it all the time in his heart, the lineup of Kidd + Jones + Finley + Zhang Zhu + Mutombo is really incomprehensible, but unfortunately the koala baby is reluctant every time he goes to the No. 4 position.

Zhang Yu is reluctant to play the inside line because it consumes too much physical strength and the loss of the body is also greater, especially when he is lazy, the opponent can directly attack the basket, and when he is lazy on the outside, there are inside teammates to make up for him, but when he plays inside, he has to make up for the outside teammates, of course he doesn't do it.

O'Neal's concept of healthy basketball, he actually agrees, but he is not as lazy as the fat man. But he also knows that if you should be lazy in the regular season, you have to be lazy, and superstars who can't direct traffic are stupid, and they will definitely regret it after the age of 30, and he doesn't want to play baseball to recuperate.

Today, he didn't go lazy in order to slap Duncan once, and he had to leave a psychological shadow on this rookie, so that he could have a head start in future fights, and he could also have a sharp weapon to humiliate the other party.

"Rookie, you can get 10 points today, even if I lose!"

Zhang Zhu began to taunt as soon as he came up in the second half, and Duncan had already scored 5 points in the first half, so he was not only moderately arrogant, but too arrogant, and almost didn't mock "eat, you".

Duncan can't be calm, he knows that Zhang Qi wants to provoke him, but there are some "angers" that you can't "swallow", anyone who is insulted like this has to fight for himself, and Zhang Qi must also use actions to fight back against the other party, otherwise how can this boss continue? Will the Spurs players recognize such a cowardly boss?

Of course not, so Duncan must score more than 10 points today, otherwise he will really not be able to raise his head when he encounters Zhang Mao in the future.

If Duncan also has a system, he will definitely receive the task of "scoring 10+ points" at this time, just like Zhang Yu was ridiculed by those stars in his rookie season, this is a test that every rookie must accept, and if you fail, you will not be qualified to become a star for the time being. But if you succeed, you will be able to take off your rookie hat and others will look up to you.

Zhang Zhu dares to be so rampant, naturally he has enough confidence, and he has not simulated the game with the Spurs, Duncan currently has a few pounds and taels, he may know better than this guy himself.

If the one in front of him is Duncan, who can fully exert his 88 ability points, it will be difficult for Zhang to limit it to 10 points, he once simulated the full playoff game against the Spurs, Duncan has exceeded 15 points in six of his seven games.

But in reality, even if Duncan has improved, he still can't show all his skills in front of him, and the gap in experience and confrontation alone is enough to make him lose his state when facing Zhang Mao.

In the second half, the two faced each other for the first time, and Duncan felt that Zhang Zhu's confrontation ability was no worse than Mason's, although his strength was one notch worse than Mason's, but Zhang Zhu's speed and explosiveness were comparable to Mason's. Moreover, when Zhang Mao and Duncan stood together, the fans were two or three centimeters shorter, and this gap could be made up for by bounce, and Duncan didn't even have a height advantage now.

Of course, this is definitely an illusion.

Zhang is still five centimeters shorter than Duncan, but his super high shoulder height and width, combined with his top-notch reach and body thickness, give the illusion that he is not much shorter than Duncan.

Players with high shoulders in the NBA are basically perverts who can overturn opponents with all kinds of slam dunks, and any player who can play several positions is basically this body type, and they can often jump on the heads of defenders who are taller than themselves, which is the illusion caused by good bounce plus shoulder height and excellent arm span.

Zhang Wei seemed to jump on Duncan's head in an attack in the second half, but in fact, he just overtook Duncan's shoulders and looked like the whole person was pressed over.

Duncan was the background emperor again this time, when Duncan, who raised his hands as if in surrender, was directly knocked into the cushion of the basketball hoop, and let Zhang Ji finish the game with a violent dunk!

The Spurs' home court was silent again, Zhang Zhu's ball cut in from the middle to receive Kidd's pass, at this time the Spurs' middle defense revealed a gap, Zhang Zhu jumped high with momentum, Duncan was too late when he came, Zhang Zhu saw Duncan in the air raised his hands and pounced, but he didn't dodge and used the momentum to complete the two-handed dunk through Duncan.

There was no problem with Duncan's footsteps, but he never imagined that Zhang Qi would meet him with a flying buckle, he had never encountered such a violent way of attacking, and the opponent dared to force himself so head-on?

This is to blame Duncan for caring too much about skills, he has defensive potential that is not inferior to Mutombo, but he does not have Mutombo's iron elbow killing moves, which makes him even if he can complete excellent defense most of the time, but as long as he leaks a flaw in the whole game, once he encounters a violent man like Camp and Zhang Zhu, then he has to be a background emperor, and it is easy to win the game at the same time.

So, even if a player like Duncan can always win games and beat opponents, he will always be blocked a few times, and that's the only difference between his defense and Mutombo's.

To be honest, a pair of iron elbows with deterrent power is still very necessary, at least Zhang Zhu would never dare to be so strong against Mutombo, because he knew that Mutombo would definitely smash his elbow in the face.

Mutombo did so quickly, but it was David Robinson who was injured.

Duncan was so humiliated by Zhang Zhu, of course he had to return it on the offensive end, but unfortunately his shooting was not yet perfect, and his back could not squeeze Zhang Zhu, so he turned around and shot decisively.

David Robinson was familiar with Duncan's shot, and Mutombo couldn't get a good position this time and was picked up by the general.

Mutombo is not happy this time, he was blown up by Robinson in the first half, and if he can't even hold the rebound in the second half, will he still have the face to win the best defensive player in a row?

David Robinson didn't know that his opponent was angry, but he was in great form today, and he had a bit of momentum to score 71 points. After grabbing the rebound this time, he was ready to make a violent dunk against the basket!

But this time, the poor admiral encountered the familiar pair of elbows again, but the elbow that made him shock at the beginning was Malone flavor, this time it was African, but the two tastes were equally uncomfortable, and I saw that David Robinson's nose was in close contact with the African-flavored elbow, and an exaggerated blood line instantly flew out towards the sky, and Kidd was splashed with old blood not far away on the spot.

"it!"

Zhang Yu looked stupid, and secretly said that this blood loss was from David Robinson, if he was splashed with such a face by his own celebrity, then Xiao Zhengtai should be stunned on the spot.

Look at Mutombo who has just committed murder, this old dog is really hateful, he doesn't feel guilty at all after hurting someone, he picks up the falling basketball and prepares to launch a fast attack, is Madea lying to himself?

Zhang Wei didn't bother to move after receiving the ball, you still want to fool around with such an excessive foul, is it really blind to be a referee?

"Nani, technical foul?"

Zhang Zhu quickly looked handsome and asked questions, these referees may really be blind, such a serious foul, but only gave a technical foul? Is it really not going to send him out?

Mutombo showed an extremely kind and apologetic smile to the referee at this time, but secretly said in his heart that he had broken Jordan's nose with an elbow back then, and he was not sent out, and a little Robinson could still let him get out of the way?

This is indeed a bit weird, Mutombo is not worse than Malone in elbowing, and his record is not inferior to the former, but it is rarely compared to Marlon's elbow, and the number of times he has been sent out is also very small, which is a bit confusing, is it because Mutombo looks kind?

If Ma Long knew Zhang Fu's thoughts, he would definitely cover his lungs and scold: "Uncle Draft!" When it comes to iron elbows, how can there be no more aggressive and stealthy koala babies? ”

David Robinson was taken directly to the hospital, and the Spurs team doctor said: It is already difficult to stop the bleeding alone, and now a movement will definitely cause a bloody face, and he suspects that there is something wrong with the admiral's nose bone, and he must be sent to the hospital for an in-depth examination.

Popovich was on the sidelines with rage because he really had to play the Lakers in the second half, or the fourth quarter. At that time, the Lakers players were declining in physical strength, and David Robinson was in perfect shape, and they definitely had a chance to win against the Lakers. But now it's all over, that old dog knocked Robinson over with an elbow, and he hasn't been punished, and they're still fighting a fart!

This reflects Mutombo's meanness, he actually wants to end up with Robinson, when there is only one Duncan left who has been violently beaten by Zhang Mao, and the Spurs will definitely not be able to turn the sky, and their 75 wins will be in hand.

Now, the ending is even better than he thought, and the 75 wins are even more of a problem.

Spurs fans will have gone from the year Mutombo was 1 year old to the year he left his hometown at the age of 40. Lakers fans in front of the TV can't be happy, after all, it's really disgraceful to win like this. In fact, if they don't do this, they should be able to defeat their opponents.

But there are so many examples of this in the NBA, and whether you like it or not, it's always been a part of the game, and that's what Mutombo's value is, and it's why he hasn't let Jordan dunk on his head for seven years.

You read that right, in fact, Mutombo has not admitted that Jordan has completed a dunk on his head until now, although Jordan had a dunk in front of Mutombo in the playoffs last year, but Mutombo said: Only Lyon has ever been on me head-on, that time Jordan just took advantage of the loophole, I was making up for the defense, and he rubbed from behind, not on me. I told him, you have to face me head-on, so I only give him a B for this dunk, not an A+.

Back to the serious game, this time everyone with a discerning eye knew that it was a malicious elbow foul, and the referee finally gave only one technical foul under the premise of "all doubts belong to the defendant", and even a malicious foul was not awarded, which naturally made the home fans and players excited.

Zhang Qi became a lot more low-key after that, because he knew that his opponent must be resentful, and if he was strong against Duncan or others like he did just now, it was estimated that he would take an elbow, so he would definitely not pretend to be forced when he should be cowardly, so that he could live for a long time.

Sure enough, the ensuing match between the two teams turned out to be very hot, and less than two minutes later, there was almost a clash on the field.

This time it was when Kidd was about to dunk under the basket, he was pulled down from the air by Clifford, Kidd naturally fell to the ground heavily, and when he got up and walked towards Clifford, it seemed that after he was about to make a move, players from both sides immediately surrounded him.

Mason naturally has the most presence in this kind of scene, and immediately found a head to collide with Duncan, who faced the impact of the first person in the NBA bench press, and immediately rolled to the floor mellowly, and the atmosphere on the court became even more tense.

When Popovich saw that his disciple was being bullied again, he was so angry on the spot that he couldn't wait to go on the court in person and use his kegebo fighting skills to kill these little bastards of the Lakers, these bastards are really bullying!

Zhang Wei also felt embarrassed, his two insiders were really too bullying. The Spurs' two interior lines are just the opposite, one is not good at fighting, the other looks stupid, and they are both easy to bully anyway. As a result, the two villains, Mutombo and Mason, took turns to bully honest people.

This time, the referee knew he had to take control of the situation and sent three fouls in a row - Mason received a malicious foul, but was not ejected. Zhang and Clifford each received a technical foul.

"Nani? I'm here to persuade you, why did you give me a technical foul? ”

Zhang Wei was not happy anymore, he just accidentally stepped on Duncan who fell to the ground, which was definitely unintentional, which was a bit too much for a technical foul, right? Don't bully honest people!

The referee said that he was not blind, and then gave Popovich, who was scolding his female family members on the sidelines, a technical foul, and his ears were not deaf.

Popovich's face turned red with anger, especially after seeing Duncan still being caught in the east and scratched in the west, and kept rolling around on the floor in the subsequent game, he really wanted to get a machine gun for his disciple to go to the shameless guys of the Tutu Lakers.

But again, it is the norm for newcomers to be bullied in the NBA. Jordan was also ravaged by the Pistons back then. Duncan, this is much better, at least now there is a "malicious foul" that can somewhat restrain the old dogs like Mutombo and Mason, otherwise Duncan will have to be carried down in a while.

Of course, don't ask why Zhang Qi hasn't been bullied like this, if you have a father like Bill Gates or Zhang Mo, then you can bully others right away. Otherwise, learn from Jordan, Magic, Bird, ...... They have long proved that even if they are ordinary children, they can still reach the peak of life one step at a time.

It's a pity that Duncan can't be like the protagonist in the movie today, he was beaten half to death first, and then suddenly broke out in a small universe to kill a group of villains.

But in reality, this kind of plot is destined to be diametrically opposed, so these conflicts have provoked Zhang Mao's feel and state, and since then he has made frequent three-point shots, no matter who defends in front of him, he can hit, and scored 16 points in a single quarter.

On the other hand, when Zhang Mao was shining, Duncan's performance was mediocre, and he couldn't show the appearance of a lion at all. Later, after Zhang Zhu returned to the No. 3 position, he would still frequently go to Duncan with Mason, which made it difficult for him to make a shot, and 10 points now seems to be a really difficult task.

By the end of the quarter, the Lakers had a 15-point lead over the Spurs, and the Spurs, who had lost their general, had no strength to compete with the Lakers.

In the final quarter, the Lakers were really plagued by physical problems, and they didn't score a point in the first 4 minutes and 25 seconds, which was a bit embarrassing.

But what's even more embarrassing is that the Spurs side also only scored 2 points in this period, and they didn't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the tables.

Mutombo laughed, now knowing why so many people hated him, but there was nothing to be done.

Without the threat of David Robinson, the Lakers can bully Duncan with impunity, and the Spurs' interior line is almost impossible to hurt the Lakers, which makes Popovich's plan to win the final quarter completely ruined.

In the last five minutes, the score was still 98:85. The Spurs launched a final attack, and David Wesley scored six straight points, plus four free throws from Clifford, to tie the score at 97-104 with 2:05 left in the game.

However, Zhang scored two more points on a layup at the critical moment, and then Jones hit a three-pointer to give the Lakers an eight-point lead at 109-101 with 59.5 seconds left in the game.

Duncan then made two free throws, but missed one, which not only allowed his scoring stats to stay at 8 points, but also deprived the Spurs of the last chance to turn the game around.

The final score was 111-104, and the Lakers used a not very glorious way on the road to get a victory that would make them even more glorious in the future.
