Chapter 248: Anger
The brawl in the finals made Stern very annoyed, because this year's shutdown of the league has reduced the trust index of the entire league a lot, although this matter was finally resolved, but the huge financial benefits lost this season are enough to make Stern feel distressed.
And the last thing Stern wants to see in the Finals, which is broadcast live to the world, is the last thing Stern wants to see, and this incident has discredited the entire league at once.
After the game, the instigator of the brawl, Larry? Johnson was suspended for 15 games and fined $50,000, Garnett, Big Ben and Big Ben, and Sprewell, who had already done it, was banned for 10 games and fined $30,000.
Afterwards, Tiger directly announced that the club would bear the fine for the three people, and said: The Rockets are not a villain team, but the Rockets have their own dignity, once someone or team provokes the dignity of the Rockets, then you are waiting to bear the torches of the Rockets.
On June 22, 1999, the Rockets challenged the Knicks at Madison Garden Plaza, and before the game began, Olajuwon looked at his teammates and said in a deep voice: "Guys, the dignity of the Rockets was provoked in the last game, we are not a villain team, but our principle is that anyone or team who dares to challenge the dignity of the Rockets will have to pay a price, do you know?" ”
The Rockets roared, "It's clear"
The game started with the Rockets' already somewhat furious momentum, and from the very beginning of the game, the Knicks players felt like they were in a storm.
Thunder? Aaron's eyebrow bone was stitched with 8 stitches, and the doctor advised him to rest, but was thundered? Aaron refused, Ray? "I can't watch my brothers fight the field, and I wear a suit behind them and watch them play with their opponents, even if I have to get eight stitches, I'm going to play," Allen said.
In the end, can't you thunder? Allen, Lao Tang had to agree to play him.
Facing this Alan? Houston, Ray? Allen exploded with maximum power from the start.
Breakouts, pull-outs, three-pointers, thunder? Allen turned into a scoring machine today, ravaging the Knicks' basket from the first second of the game.
The rest of the Rockets are also unleashing their anger, and Olajuwon is facing Marcus? Camby's rookie defense, put Marcus? Camby knows what a real king-level mission is, in front of Olajuwon's dreamlike footsteps, Marcus? Camby was teased like a fool, and Camby could only watch Big Dream put the basketball into the basket again and again.
Malik? Ross and Kurt? Thomas hit a Martian shot, and Rose's solid basket skills gave Cott? Thomas has a big problem, Thomas is still very tough defensively, but Rose is very smart and didn't fight hard with the opponent, Rose is just using himself to attract Thomas's attention, creating opportunities for other players in the Rockets to attack, and Rose actually sent 4 assists in the entire first quarter of the game, Cott? Thomas is speechless, but do you just need to relax a little bit against Marik? Rose's defense, Rose will attack on his own, and he can score all of them, so Rose is constantly torturing Kurt? Thomas.
The most anxious is actually Charlie, the Knicks' guard? Ward, facing Bodi Loga, Charlie? Ward has suffered a big crime, today Bodiloga is unusually dull, hardly speaking, Bodiloga's gloomy face told the opponent that his mood is very unhappy, you are going to be unlucky.
Sure enough, after the start of the game, Bodiloga showed an unusually exuberant attack power, and Bodiloga has already ignored Charlie? Ward defends, I'm going to shoot on top of you, I'm taller than you, plus arm length, as long as there's a little bit of bounce, that's not Charlie? Ward was able to stop it.
The first quarter of the Rockets' game completely left the Knicks speechless, and everyone in the Knicks was trapped by the Rockets' defense, Horry and Olajuwon, the two defensive cores inside and outside, completely stifled the Knicks' offense.
The Knicks scored only 14 points in a single quarter, while the Rockets took an absolute advantage in the first quarter, scoring 34 points in a single quarter.
Olajuwon contributed 8 points, and Marik? Rose contributed 6 points, and Ray? Allen and Bodi Loga combined for 20 points.
Van Gundy Jr. could only look at the Knicks players on the court weakly and scolded Larry in his heart? Johnson and Sprewell, you say you two stupid people, who is not good to provoke Rocket, is that big Chinese man of Rocket that you can deal with, that is a monster, even O'Neal, Malone, Barkley and other villains dare not provoke people, you go to provoke, you deserve to die, when you come back, Lao Tzu will not train you to die, I will not be called Van Gundy.
Not to mention Van Gundy Jr., who swore on the sidelines, the second quarter of the game between the two sides officially started, and the Rockets continued their strong offense. Rose looked at Ray on the outside? Aaron and Bodi Loga attacked today **quite strong and felt quite**, as soon as the two of them combined, they directly gave up the right to shoot to Lei? Allen and Bodi Loga, the two of them are constantly responding and passing on the inside, and it is Horry who has also begun to provide more cover and strategy for the backcourt combination that the Rockets broke out today.
And these two completely lived up to the expectations of so many people, the two teamed up to score 27 points in the second quarter, and it only took two quarters for the two to turn their score into more than 20 points.
Thunder? The performance of Allen and Bodi Loga, watching all the Knicks fans present, their cheeks twitched, what do these two people want to do, are they still scoring 50 points here, in that case, where is the face of the Knicks.
Actually, the two really didn't have that idea, the two of them just wanted to teach the Knicks an unforgettable lesson.
At halftime, Olajuwon stepped forward to remind the two and said: "Ray, Dejan, you two be careful in the second half, beware of the Knicks, the two of you have 23 points and the other has 24 points, and they are both half-time scores, do you want to score 50 points, after all, this is the home court of the Knicks, you two be careful, especially Ray, your injury is not healed." ”
Thunder? Both Aaron and Bodiloga nodded, signaling that they understood.
Olajuwon also nodded to the point, smiled and said nothing, turned his head and left.
Thunder? Allen and Bodiloga looked at each other, and Bodiloga said: "Ray, how do you look, how did you attack in the second half. ”
Thunder? Allen nodded seriously and said: "Hakim didn't remind us just now, I have forgotten our scoring results, I think we scored 50 points on the Knicks' road, Kevin's boys will be very happy." ”
Bodiloga smiled indifferently and said: "If you want to score 50 points, then you can work for a triple-double here, and now it's almost a rebound, but there is still half of the game, I think there is no problem." ”
The two looked at each other, then bumped into fists, and they both laughed, although they were laughing, but the murderous aura flashing in their eyes and the corners of their mouths made people shudder.
The second half of the game started quickly, and after the start of the second half, Knicks fans found that the Rockets' Ray? Aaron's attack power is even stronger, as if he is incarnated as a terminator, as long as the basketball is in his hands, it is basically up to him to end the battle.
The Rockets had a 30-point lead in the first half, and the Knicks players and fans were praying that the Rockets could save some face for the Knicks and not let the Knicks lose too badly.
It's a pity that the Knicks offended people too badly, because of your provocation in the last game, they lost two main players and one main substitute, you said that in such a situation, can people let you go, it is obviously impossible.
The whole third quarter of Ray? Allen scored 16 points in the second game, and by the end of the third quarter, Ray had a score of 16 points. Allen has scored 39 points and is only 11 points away from his goal.
And Bodi Loga has already scored 27 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. A triple-double at once has been made up to be avoided.
In the entire finals, Bodi Loga has already had a triple-double, the first game is a double-double, if he wins a triple-double this time, it is estimated that Bodi Loga is very hopeful of winning the MVP of this year's finals.
Some people may think that for example, the old soup off the field, Olajuwon, who is already an old fritter, but Bodi Loga doesn't know it at all.
The Rockets finished the third quarter of the game, already 40 points ahead of the Knicks, and the Rockets have begun to adjust their personnel. Jackson, Matt? Halplin and Catino? Mobley has been activated, there is no way, the three are suspended, you can't let the Rockets 9 go to the finals.
In the last stanza, little Mark? Jackson and Horry partnered inside, Saullius stepped into the small forward position, and Ray? There are no changes to Arun and Bodi Loga.
These two guys seem to be ready to play all the game time today.
is such a lineup and a match with the Knicks, Mark Jr.? Jackson was very excited to appear on the court for the first time in the finals, and he was very excited, maybe a little too excited, and he was fouled twice, and after Horry dragged him over and reprimanded him in a low voice, little Mark? Jackson calmed down.
Horry also performed very well at the position of power forward, with flexible footwork, accurate positioning, and other realizations were very good except for the slightly inferior power.
And the performance of the double swords in the backcourt of the rocket is still continuing, Ray? Allen was still smashing points like crazy, and Bodi Loga had already completed a double-double with three minutes into the fourth quarter, and the rebounds were only two points apart.
The score of the two sides is already 40 points away, and the Knicks have given up the game, all waiting for the end of the game to come.
This last period of time was simply torment, outright torment, and the powerful attack power of the rocket made the Knicks completely lose the mentality to resist.
Time still hasn't stopped its pace, maybe it's because the Knicks' players are too bleak, or maybe it's because the Rockets' attack power is too strong, and time doesn't want to give the Rockets a chance to continue to score.
In Ray? After Allen hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the game was finally over.
After the whole game, people looked at the bright red score, and their hearts were cold, with such a powerful attack power, who could still be their opponent.
135:90 Rocket Knicks beat their opponents by 45 points, everyone must know that this is the finals, the most ferocious defense of the finals.
Looking at the Rockets' scoring record, Ray? Allen alone chipped in 57 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and after watching Bodi Loga deliver another triple-double, 31 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds.
The Rockets' backcourt double-gunned 88 points can already be compared with the score of the entire Knicks team, and such a result has made everyone speechless.
After the game, someone interviewed Ray? Aaron, asked: Is there any secret to why you broke out and cut such a score at Madison Garden?
Thunder? Aaron's answer was very simple, he said: I am fighting with my brothers, and this is the secret.
