Chapter 85 [Bowen is abolished, Hai Ye is banned]
The referee announced that the game had resumed, and the boos from the crowd were incessant. Chuck Hayes hid in the locker room, and they're going to shuck the Rockets!
Hayes entered the locker room, and immediately without help, with no painful expression on his face, he strode to his cupboard and pulled out his phone.
His swift movements made the eyes of the team doctor Luo Wen and others almost pop out.
Novak was stunned and said, "Chuck, you're getting better too quickly, aren't you?" No wonder the boos were so loud outside. ”
Padgett laughed, "I'm serving you now, you didn't mean to hurt Bowen, did you?" ”
"That guy stretched out his feet back and stumbled me, this garbage, this time he was steady. Leave me alone, go back and watch the game. I might have to play again in a while. Hayes said, dialing Taylor Swift's phone. In case Taylor was watching TV, he must have been scared again, and he had to report his safety.
The phone rang, and Taylor Swift picked it up, laughing, "Chuck, I knew you had to call me, wait, hehe." ”
"Uh...... Did you watch TV? Hayes asked curiously.
"Look, you're pretending to hurt yourself in the locker room, aren't you? Are you too ruthless? If it weren't for my dad saying that Bowen was a jerk, I wouldn't have ignored you in the future. Taylor Swift laughs.
"You can see that?"
"I was startled at first, but my dad said you must be fine, but it was pressed on that person, other people's ankles are easy to hurt, your feet and necks are twice as thick as people, how can you twist so easily. He said you'd call later, and told me to wait, but you did, hehe. My dad knows you better than I do. Taylor laughed.
"Say hello to your dad for me, I still have something to do here, hang up first." Just don't be afraid. Hayes hung up, feeling like one head and two big. It's over, my acting skills are not good. The audience on TV could see that he was pretending. In this way, if Bowen is seriously injured, will the league easily let him go?
Now the winning streak is about to break the record, and if the Rockets' winning streak ends and the record cannot be broken because he is suspended on the spur of the moment, he is a Houston sinner.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and Hayes can only take one step at a time.
The Rockets were without Hayes, but still relied on the excellent play of Yao Ming and the bench players to defeat the Spurs by 84-79, 5 points, extending their winning streak to 18 games and continuing to lead the league. The Spurs' 10-year unbeaten home record against the Rockets is over.
Ginobili, the "GDP combination", was closely guarded by Battier and only scored 14 points, while Duncan scored 21 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, with a shooting rate of only 40%; Tony Parker had a game-high 24 points and six assists;
Yao Ming of the Rockets played 35 minutes, shooting 8-of-13 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
Alston was eye-catching, shooting 7-of-15 from the field, 3-of-6 from three-point range, 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finishing with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
Hayes played only 27 minutes and was still the hero of the Rockets' victory. He shot 4-of-7 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line. 11 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
At the post-match press conference.
** Vicky bluntly said that the Spurs' loss in this game was because the Rockets' defense was dirty, and a malicious foul hurt Bowen. He gritted his teeth and said as he spoke, waving his hands vigorously, and if Hayes was there, he would probably pounce on him for a live PK.
"Chuck Hayes is a murderer, this despicable liar who has deposed our best defensive player and even more disgustingly, he actually pretended to be injured to avoid the referee's decision! I've never seen anyone so shameless! He did it on purpose! This is a deliberate murder at all, and the Alliance must investigate this matter properly and give us an explanation. This is a serious violation of sportsmanship, if Hayes is not punished severely, there will be no fairness in the league in the future, we are missing Bowen, and our strength will be seriously affected! It was the worst foul I've ever seen. He should be banned for life! ”
Jeff Van Gundy was also angry at Vic's accusation, and immediately fought back despite the fact that it was the opponent's home stadium. "I hope Coach Vicky would do well to get one thing clear before he says that – who is the dirtiest defensive player in the league? Even if you do a survey among Spurs fans, the conclusion must be Bruce Bowen. The only thing he can remember about playing basketball is his little moves! How many people has Bowen hurt? His black videos can be put together on the Internet as a collection of highlights, and viewers across the country can look for them. Of course, I don't think I need to say this, everyone knows in their hearts that Bowen doesn't even let go of his good friend Ray Allen, and the gentleman Allen is now disconnected from him. This time, when Chuck (Hayes) jumped up to grab the rebound, why did Bowen put his foot underneath? Before saying that Chuck deliberately hurt people, it is best to count how many people Bowen has laid this kind of black foot to! ”
The next day, the national media made headlines about the game. After examination, Bowen suffered two fractures of the tibia and fibula, and will be out for at least 6 months and will be reimbursed for this season.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Rockets vs Spurs "slamming the door" has become the hottest topic.
Interestingly, the most discussed question is not whether Hayes intentionally hurts people, but who is darker Bowen or Hayes?
After an investigation, the league determined that Hayes had committed a malicious foul the next day, but the video also clearly showed that Bowen deliberately stretched out his foot to the location where Hayes fell, and even in the previous rounds, when Hayes provoked, Bowen also tried to kick Hayes's ankle, but it was unsuccessful.
By watching the game, it was always thought that it was Bowen's small actions that angered Hayes.
There are also grievances for Bowen. Duncan said in an interview: "Bruce is a tough defender, but I don't think he deliberately wants to hurt the opponent, he just tries his best to interfere with the opponent's offense, he's not the kind of player who will hurt people maliciously. ”
Unfortunately, Duncan's assessment of Bowen pales in comparison. Too many people have suffered from his small actions. Half of the league hated Bowen and the other half hated him.
There is no doubt that reaching for your opponent's drop is an extremely effective way to defend. If a player always thinks that he may step on the feet of a defender when shooting, he will often lose his shooting rhythm, and Bowen uses this method to achieve the effect of "surrendering without a fight". Vicky has also publicly endorsed Bowen sticking to his defensive style.
Doing so can easily cause an ankle sprain, and in severe cases, it can even affect the player's career. Carter was injured because of Bowen's black foot, and he couldn't fly.
After the game, Hayes received a lot of praise from fans after returning to Houston, he was less of a killer and more of a hero. The fans forgave Hayes first, even if he did it on purpose, it was for the people.
However, the media also pointed out that Hayes was not clean either.
This season, several teams have complained about Hayes' brutal play. He broke Rasheed Wallace's nose against the Pistons; injured Odom first against the Lakers, and then used small moves against Kobe, causing Kobe to be abnormal in the second half; injured Byron Davis against the Warriors; Playing the Clippers as a point guard in the second half, although it didn't hurt anyone, Dunleavy publicly said after the game that he was too suspicious that Hayes wanted to scrap Livingston, and verbally threatened Livingston on the court, but fortunately he sent Brand to defend in time to avoid tragedy. Now, Bowen is seriously injured.
Hayes did hurt. It's a pity that in this incident, except for a few Spurs fans, fans all over the world are looking towards Hayes. The reason is simple, Bowen will do nothing but pestering people to defend, small moves, and black hands and feet. Hayes is a superstar who is proficient in scoring, rebounding, and assisting. Even if Bowen retires directly due to injury, the fans don't feel anything to lose, but if Hayes can't play, they will curse the street.
Under the star plot, Bowen is tragic. As a victim, he was seriously injured and truce, and not many people in the whole United States, or even the whole world, supported him. In the words of Chinese fans: self-inflicted, you can't live. Heavenly cycle, karma.
Some even applauded Bowen's injury.
Barkley bore the brunt of Hayes's support. He thinks Hayes is absolutely right. "I support Chuck (Hayes). I saw it very clearly on the spot. Bowen couldn't stop Chuck, so he used small movements on him endlessly, and looking at the video, you can see how many times he pushed Chuck's thigh with his knee and how many times he stretched his black foot. The referee didn't blow a foul once, which was infuriating. Besides, there was no way for Bowen to grab the rebound, so what did he squeeze over and stretch that leg for? Don't say it's not intentional! Bowen is the murderer, his black feet are likely to cost Chuck his career, fortunately Chuck just lost his balance, I know Chuck, he was too afraid of getting hurt at the time, so he made that action with his hand, it was a kind of subconscious self-protection, he wanted to grab something that could help him master his balance, and he definitely didn't mean to hurt Bowen. ”
The second to stand up and gloat was Knicks head coach Isaiah Thomas. He hated Bowen to the core, and as soon as he heard the news of Bowen's reimbursement, he immediately publicly supported Hayes.
"Losing balance and smashing on the opponent is commonplace on the court, and almost every day there are players who fall to the ground and smash on each other because of the rebound, why didn't the league pursue it and hold on to Hayes? Is it right to stretch out your black feet to make people lose their balance? Reasonable? Hayes was battling the league's best interior player for a rebound, and Bowen reached out where Hayes fell. Is it Hayes who concentrates on grabbing rebounds, or is it the sinister villain who only makes small moves? Why didn't he put his head under Hayes's feet? Here, I'm going to tell Hayes that he's the best defensive player in the league, that he shouldn't be dictated by anyone else, that he needs to keep his fighting spirit and playing style, and not be influenced by the outside world! ”
Knowing Thomas's remarks, Vicky almost had a heart attack in anger. Because those words are too similar to what the Spurs said in an interview after he played the Knicks a month ago.
People have turned over old accounts of Bowen's injuries this season. On Nov. 6, Bowen stretched out his black foot, resulting in an injury to Steve Francis; On November 15, Jamal Crawford almost became the second victim of Bowen's "black feet" this season. At that time, Thomas yelled at Bowen and even threatened to kill Bowen, but Thomas, who gradually calmed down afterwards, denied this statement, claiming that he was just saying that he would use the same defensive means to make Bowen feel the pain of having his ankle broken. (Still resentful)
At the time, Vicky said a lot to excuse Bowen, and Thomas suffered a dumb loss.
Can Thomas be upset that Hayes killed Bowen? Now, he's using similar words to return the color. If Hayes were a Knicks player, chances were Thomas would have given Hayes a big bonus.
No matter how much support the outside world had, Hayes was too ruthless this time. Bowen came first, but after all, it was Bowen who was deposed, and the Spurs lost their general. If Hayes is not punished, it will not be fair to the Spurs.
In the end, the league decided to add a second-degree malicious foul to Hayes, fined $10,000, and banned for two games. The league gave the Spurs some face and calmed the anger of the Spurs' management and fans.
However, everyone knows that although Bowen is not statistical, he is an indispensable member of the Spurs, and his season reimbursement will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall strength of the Spurs.
The Spurs are still strong, but they are one step away from the championship.
