Chapter 280: Full of Blood
Muhammad beat Larry violently? After Johnson, he was punished by the league, quite severely, with a 15-game ban and a fine of $50,000.
And Larry, who deliberately fouled? Johnson was also banned for three games and fined $10,000, in fact, he was recovering from his injury at that time.
After Muhammad was punished, Tiger called Stern directly to intercede for Muhammad, but unfortunately Stern directly refused.
Now that Stern has grown disgusted by the fights that often occur in the league, Tiger's pleas are beyond his permission.
Seeing that the plea was invalid, Tiger didn't expect anything, and directly helped Muhammad pay the fine and let Muhammad rest for a few days, but Tiger said to Muhammad in private, pay your salary and go out to travel.
After sending Muhammad away, Tiger is again worried about Bodi Loga's injury, and at this time in Tiger's heart, Larry? Johnson scolded to death.
Because of this kid, Bodiloga was hit with a concussion and had to stay in the hospital for at least 2 weeks before he could resume training, but fortunately the rest of Bodiloga's body was not harmed.
However, that's enough for Tiger to want to bite Larry? Johnson, fortunately, there are people in the team who can go up to it, but no one can go up to it, Tiger is absolutely crying to death.
The saddest thing now is that after the Rockets clean up the Knicks, they are going to go to the away court to find trouble with the Spurs, and the trouble is still back-to-back games, but fortunately, Houston is very close to San Antonio.
Before the game starts, Tim? Duncan looked at his friend Antonio? Daniels appeared on the Rockets' starting lineup and walked up to congratulate his friend, and Duncan said, "Antonio, you're finally a starter." ”
Looking at the dumb boy with a smile on his face, Antonio said helplessly: "Yes, Dejan is injured, so I have a chance to play the main force." ”
Duncan looked at his friend, dug into the wall and said, "Man, I asked you to come to the Spurs in the first place, you didn't come, if you did, Avery would give you a place." There was a temptation in his tone.
Antonio? Daniels knew his friend well, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Tim, I know what you mean, but I've been very good with the Rockets, from the owner to the coach to the teammates, and I love the atmosphere in the locker room." ”
Duncan still didn't give up tempting his friend, so he said: "You can play the main team in the Spurs, but you are just a substitute in the Rockets." ”
Antonio? Daniels looked at his friend and suddenly smiled, which made Duncan very inexplicable, just when Duncan couldn't figure it out, Daniels pointed to Duncan's teammates and said: "Tim, I don't want to squander my youth with a group of old men, if these people continue to fight, I think your championship dream will always be just a dream." ”
As soon as this statement came out, Duncan was silent, he knew the current situation of his team, and privately ** Vic assured him that after this season, there will be a purge of the team, those players who are too old, will either retire or leave, and then the Spurs will rebuild with him as the core, but can these words be said now.
If you say it now, then the Spurs won't have to play, and maybe they can have a good talk with Daniels after the season is over.
After Duncan's face-to-face poaching failure, the game between the Rockets and Spurs officially began.
It was time to jump the ball, Garnett still beat Duncan by a little bit, and Daniels got the basketball with the interference of "Little General" Johnson.
Just when everyone thought that the ball rocket would stabilize and then organize an attack, Mark? Daniels, who Jackson has been coaching for a long time, made a very wonderful pass.
It turned out that according to the previous habit, when Garnett won the jump ball and the players of his team won the offensive rights, Ray ? Allen or Horry will start to play fast, Bodiloga's ball will be accurate to the front, either fast attack or wait for everyone to settle down, this is already a habit, but due to Bodiloga's injury, the first wave of attack Ray? Aaron and Horry didn't go fast, but the second wave of attacks Ben started to go fast, and he shook off David, who was already old, in two steps? Robinson, Big Ben rushed to the basket at high speed, and when Big Ben was about to go down, he looked up and saw that an orange object had already followed his footsteps, Big Ben instinctively jumped up, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and then smashed the basketball directly into the basket without any hesitation.
There was a bang of "bang", and before many Spurs players had time to look at the court, the Rockets had already scored.
A very violent two-handed dunk, Big Ben scored the opening first point for the Rockets in an instant.
Big Ben happily walked up to Daniels, high-fived Daniels and said, "Good pass, man." ”
Daniels smiled and said, "It's you who buckle beautifully, brother." ”
The two laughed and retreated into their own half, the Spurs began to attack, and the 'little general' Johnson shouted on the court to command his teammates to start running.
And to Daniels, looking at such a situation, the corners of his mouth showed a contemptuous smile, because such a run can be completed with just a gesture here in the rocket.
But the Spurs still need such shouts to run out, which shows the gap between the two sides in terms of tactical cultivation.
Daniels admires Lao Tang very much now, and a large part of the reason why he is willing to stay here is because of Lao Tang, and being able to play under such a master tactician is definitely the greatest happiness of his life.
The Spurs' tactical literacy is also good, continuous running, continuous pulling, so that Duncan has room to shoot, Duncan's logo of the board, 'bang' for the Spurs equalizer.
looked at Duncan, who looked sluggish, turned around and left, and the fight between the two sides officially began.
In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets and Spurs played inseparable, although they were a group of old men, but their physical strength was still very good in the first quarter.
In the first quarter, you went back and forth, and neither of the two sides could pull the score away, and neither side could expect the opponent to pull the score away in the first quarter.
Lao Tang also told everyone not to be in a hurry during the break, and to be patient with a team like the Spurs than the opponent.
After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs began to rotate the players on the court, because their players are a group of old men, and they must keep these old men in a relatively good physical condition, so they can only increase the rotation.
And the Rockets still let their main players fight on the court, and the Spurs substitutes on the court mean that the Spurs players have an imbalance in their control of the situation on the court, and you can't expect the substitutes to have the same combat effectiveness as the main players, except for the Rockets, of course, the gap between their main force and the bench is very small.
Looking at the imbalance in the control of the situation on the Spurs on the court, the Rockets suddenly began to exert force, and the intensity of the offense suddenly increased. Allen and Garnett took turns testing the Spurs' defense inside and outside.
The Spurs players on the court tried hard to resist the Rockets' offense, and the confrontation between Garnett and Duncan became the focus of the court.
In this way, the strongest point on the court of both sides is right, so now someone else is needed to break this situation, the Spurs don't have such a person on the court now, but the Rockets do.
Thunder? Aaron stood up at this time and faced this Mario? Eli's defense, using his speed to shake off the opponent in succession, hit two mid-range shots.
quickly stretched the score of the two sides to 8 points, and seeing that the form on the field was not good, Vicky could only let Barkley come on the field to stabilize the situation.
Barkley's play played a big role, but not offensively, but defensively, because in terms of offense, Barkley's old opponent Horry directly met up, although Barkley has become older, Horry's defensive pressure has decreased a lot, and Horry has clearly felt the decline in the opponent's strength.
However, in terms of strategy, Barkley is still very powerful.
The Rockets maintained their 8-point advantage until halftime, and after halftime adjustments, an incomprehensible scene appeared, Olajuwon came on the court with a group of substitutes, and the Spurs were the main force.
But when the third quarter ended, the benches led by Olajuwon continued to keep the score of the two sides at 8 points, and the Spurs' efforts for the whole quarter were in vain.
Vicky looked at the Spurs players who were already running out of breath, and he knew that today's game was lost because the main Rockets had already rested for a quarter, and they had accumulated enough stamina to destroy the Spurs' resistance in the final quarter.
** Vicky looked at this situation, sighed deeply in his heart, put aside other ideas, and laid out the tactics of the last quarter.
Just as Vicky thought, the Rockets, who began to run crazy in the last quarter, completely dragged down the Spurs' physical fitness, and with 5 minutes left in the game, the score between the two sides had increased to 15 points, and Vicky had no choice but to give up the game.
This is the competition of strength, the Rockets are such a team, and when they meet those teams that have some convulsions, the Rockets still have the possibility of losing.
But whoever wants to play such a dignified division with the rocket, then the final victory will definitely be the rocket.
By the end of the game, ** Vicky looked at the score of 96:82, sighed, and thought in his heart: The Spurs lost in age, lost to blood, and now the Rockets can be described as full of blood.
Yes, the current rocket is really full of blood.
