84. Continuous conflict
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers still maintained a seven-point lead, leading 87-80, and the Lakers, who lacked major generals, miraculously took the initiative on the court in the game against the Thunder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that the Thunder has a bad hand, but Westbrook has been dominating the ball since the second quarter, thanks to Durant's accurate three-point continuation from the outside, otherwise the difference would have been widened.
But there is very bad news for the Lakers, Whiteside, Carman, and Thackeray have all committed five fouls!
It was not useless for Westbrook to do it himself as long as he got the ball, and he made a lot of free throws.
The Lakers tried their best to win, and the defensive end was full of energy, plus the previous conflict, both sides were a little angry, so the action was relatively big, allowing Westbrook to walk to the free throw line 14 times in the third quarter, plus Durant's 13 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, otherwise the difference would have been opened up by the Lakers.
Of course, there are a lot of fouls on the Thunder's side, and Nick Young and Liu Ren Whiteside have also repeatedly walked to the free throw line, but they can't stand the Thunder's 13-man rotation! In order to avoid too many injuries in the regular season, the number of people who can be activated in games during the regular season has been changed from 12 to 13, and the previous rules have been reverted to in the playoffs.
It is precisely because of the Lakers' all-out defense that they locked up all the rest of the Thunder, otherwise the Lakers would not have a chance to lead, and it can only be said that there are gains and losses.
In the fourth quarter, the Lakers attacked first.
Liu Ren was waiting outside the three-point line to catch the ball, he was already a little out of breath, the first three quarters of the game, 36 minutes without a second of rest, look at the situation now is going to play the whole court, he doesn't dribble over half the court, let Marshall do this, physical strength can be saved a little is a little.
Marshall dribbled the ball past half court and handed it to Liu Ren.
It was Sefrosa who defended Liu Ren, and Durant went to defend Nick Young, only Durant's height could affect Nick Young's shooting, and Nick Young's shot was like a sea when facing Seiflorosa, and Sefrosa couldn't affect this self-confident master of chaos at all.
Liu Renmao bent down to find space to break through, and Sai Rosa waited for the opponent to watch the opponent's movement, especially Nick Young, ready to let Durant come over to wrap Liu Ren or help defend Nick Young.
Nick Young took advantage of Antetokounmpo's off-ball block to run to their sideline, and Sefrosa was in need of a move to make up for it.
At this moment, Liu Ren suddenly jumped up and pulled out three points......
Hit!
Liu Ren used a three-point shot to widen the difference to ten points!
"Alas......" Pisaceno Arena let out a heartfelt sigh as they caused the proud perimeter defense to be toyed with by Liu Ren to applause.
"Defend back, defend back......," Liu Ren shouted loudly to Whiteside, who was talking to Perkins slowly.
But Whiteside didn't seem to hear it, and Perkins seemed to quarrel, and the noise grew louder and louder.
"You shameless waste, what else are you going to do but do it?" Whiteside was angry and subconsciously rubbed his waist.
"Boy, keep your mouth clean, you were still drinking milk when I played in the NBA!" Perkins looked at Whiteside with vicious eyes.
"Really?" Whiteside couldn't help but put his arm around Perkins' neck, "After all these years, you're still a shit that can't even be compared to a bench player, shit is shit, no matter how long it is, it's still shit." β
"You're looking for death!" Perkins slapped Whiteside's arm off and pushed his forehead against Whiteside.
Whiteside also pressed his forehead against the other.
The referee, who had been nervous, took the lead in making a move before the players from both sides got together, and immediately gave both sides a technical foul, and then wanted to separate the two points, but the two kept chattering in their mouths, and the referee, who felt that his authority was being challenged, made a gesture and directly expelled the two from the game!
βwhatοΌβ D'Antoni blew up, what kind of penalty is this? An inconsequential high-paid and incompetent center on the opposite side of the street has redeemed the best interior on their side? He rushed straight to the field and refereed theories.
On the other side, Thunder head coach Brooks also played, looking like he was going to theorize well, but everyone could see the joy between his eyebrows, and he looked like he was cheap and behaved.
The big screen didn't show what was going on before Whiteside and Perkins for some reason, it was just showing Whiteside putting his arm around Perkins' neck. And in the TV broadcast screen, after Liu Ren made a three-pointer, Whiteside and Perkins were stuck inside.
Perkins has no way to deal with Whiteside's height and arm span, and even the rebounding position is not as good as Whiteside, and the two don't know if the ball goes in before the ball goes into the basket.
The referee on either the sideline or the bottom line didn't see this scene, but the photographer who was lying on the ground to shoot this scene was caught and was repeatedly broadcast in the replays of major broadcast TV stations.
The referee ignored the two coaches, confirmed his gesture to the technical desk, ejected the two from the field, and then motioned for the two players to make substitutions to continue the game.
Finally, after two quarters, the anger that eased down became strong again.
Liu Ren patted Whiteside on the back and told him to go back to the locker room to calm down, stop acting aggressively and avoid being banned, if he is banned, he will not have to play in the next game.
Perkins received a rare huge cheer at home when he left the game, although the fans didn't know exactly what happened, but they knew that their center was a bad master, and they must have done something to anger the other party and get down the monster who grabbed an unknown number of rebounds.
The game continued, with the Lakers replacing Whiteside with Carman and the Thunder replacing Perkins with Collisson.
The movements of both sides are getting bigger again.
Just as Liu Ren was engrossed in defending Westbrook, the referee's whistle blew.
Liu Ren looked at the referee inexplicably, did he foul? Although he had a lot of physical contact with Westbrook, he definitely didn't touch each other with his hands! It doesn't make sense to blow fouls!
However, the direction of the referee's finger was not him, but the two Marshallese who were entangled with Sefrosa on the other side!
Marshall, a good-tempered guy in Liu Ren's opinion, actually quarreled with the other party!
Immediately afterwards, an even more incredible scene happened, the referee actually made a gesture of expulsion from the field again, expelling both of them from the game!
It's because the referee is too nervous, afraid that the conflict between the two sides will continue to escalate, and if the two sides are tense now, the conflict will really be a group fight.
But the referee overlooked one thing, there is no one on the Lakers' side to change!
