Seventy-sixth, effort lies in action

When the Timberwolves players and the Trail Blazers players scuffled together, Zhuang Fei was really stunned, D'Antoni was even more startled, and the fans in the stands were the same, they didn't expect such a thing to happen, and when the fans reflected, the audience burst into boos.

Now the referee has stopped it, Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy and the substitute players on both sides can only watch from the sidelines, unable to do anything, because anything happens on the field, the coaches and players off the field are not allowed to play privately, this is the rule of the league.

In the scuffle between the two players, one player after another hung the lottery, looking at the crazy and bloodthirsty Stephen Jackson, Zhuang Fei's face became darker and darker.

"Cāo, this isn't boxing, this kid is crazy" Zhuang Fei scolded angrily, and D'Antoni could only choose to remain silent.

Jackson has been very honest under Zhuang Fei in the past few months, he has always listened to Zhuang Fei's words, and is even considered by all the players of the Timberwolves to be the descendant of Zhuang Fei, this usually somewhat taciturn player, actually has such a crazy side.

"Damn" Zhuang Fei paced back and forth on the sidelines, only hating that he couldn't go on the court and slap Jackson twice.

"Zhuang, Stephen can't be blamed for this, it was Ryder who provoked it first" D'Antoni kindly excused Stephen Jackson. But how could Zhuang Fei, who was already angry, listen to it.

"No matter who provokes, Jackson can't do this, if our team is behind, he can provoke the other party, but now we have the advantage, we are ahead, the form and the big picture are on our side, if there are accidents and twists in this game because of this kind of thing, he is the sinner of the team"

Zhuang Fei hated iron and steel, too uncalm, the situation of the Timberwolves in this game is very good, but if it is messed up like this, the game will definitely be variable, and he can only hope that other Timberwolves players can stay calm now. Don't get involved in this.

However, after seeing Lewis knocked to the ground by Wallace, Zhuang Fei was speechless. Then I don't know if he was angry or what, he suddenly laughed.

"Cāo, is there actually blood at this time?"

As a result, after a few minutes of chaos, the referee finally stopped the sāo mess, Rydell, Jim Jackson, and Stephen Jackson were all sent off the court, Rashad Lewis technical foul, Rasheed Wallace malicious foul, Pierce technical foul, Nash technical foul, Stoudemire technical foul, the main ones who fought were Ryder, Jackson and Jim Jackson, others such as Pierce Nash they just persuaded the fight, and then were implicated.

The chaos greatly affected the performance of the next two teams, and at the end of the first half, the Timberwolves led by seven points at home at 53-46 into the second half.

In the locker room of the Timberwolves, the atmosphere was very solemn, and all the Timberwolves players could see that the head coach's face was not good, and they were also waiting to be scolded by Zhuang Fei in frustration.

"Why are you lowering your head now, lift it up for me," Zhuang Fei said loudly with an expressionless face.

The Timberwolves players all raised their heads slightly to look at Zhuang Fei, seeing that Zhuang Fei was neither happy nor sad, and finally looked at each other a few times before raising their heads to look at Zhuang Fei.

"I really didn't expect you to be so angry, that boxing match just now was very good-looking, Stephen, did you say it" Zhuang Fei suddenly looked at Jackson with a smile on his face, Jackson's eyes darkened, and then he bowed his head again and remained silent. Others were somewhat sympathetic to Jackson, who was not the one who provoked it.

"To be honest, I'm very happy with our performance in the first half, really, you guys played great, we're always ahead of the Trail Blazers, it's not easy, it's all the hard work of everyone, it's the result of everyone." Zhuang Fei's tone softened, and many Timberwolves players also breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhuang Fei immediately changed his words and startled these Timberwolves players again.

"Do you know that there is an idiom in China? The name of the idiom is self-destruction, and the original form is good, we just need to follow the trend, go with the flow, and then we can win the game. But you have broken the momentum that you have created and made it no longer go well, and this is self-destruction, self-inflicted iniquity. ”

"I know you're all young people, strong in blood. But I want you to be able to grasp when you need to be calm and when you need to be provocative. If we have been pressed and controlled in this game. Then I hope that you can create some incidents to change the general trend within a limited scope. ”

After Zhuang Fei finished speaking, the Timberwolves players were a little confused, it turned out that the coach was not dissatisfied with the fight, but the fight was not at the right time.

"Okay, you're still young, and there's still a lot to learn, so that's all for today, and I hope you can learn from it."

Seeing Zhuang Fei deal with this matter so lightly, the Timberwolves players were a little surprised, and even D'Antoni was very surprised, he was angry just now, and now it's okay? He was very puzzled by Zhuang Fei's behavior.

Although the Timberwolves lost the momentum of the game in this conflict, they really got the benefits, the other side sent off two and the Timberwolves only sent one off, and Stephen Jackson's departure was not indispensable, Anthony Piller quickly filled this position, in other aspects the Timberwolves did not lose much, and the Trail Blazers lost Ryder and Jim Jackson, they could only replace Grant and Walter Williams, a 2.06-meter small forward and a 2.03-meter swingman, This also made them return to the tall lineup again, the lineup changes were missing a lot, and the strength of the bench also dropped a lot.

Overall, the Timberwolves are in the ascendancy.

After the fight just now, it was clear that Lewis felt Wallace's defensive intensity improve, and he watched Lewis very closely. This made Lewis very uncomfortable.

His body was not as good as Wallace, far inferior, and he was knocked to the ground by Wallace with one arm just now. He was already sweating under the hard fight with Wallace, and now the game, the fourth quarter has just begun, and the Timberwolves' lead is not too much.

"Not good" Lewis saw Wallace once again preparing to shoot near his familiar baseline, which made Lewis excited, this game Wallace's mid-range shot in this bottom corner was very accurate, Lewis jumped up with almost all his strength, but still did not touch the ball thrown by Wallace. This ball Wallace hit again.

And Lewis, who was flying in the air, stumbled and fell to the ground after landing, his legs were weak and he lost his strength.

Wallace glanced faintly at Lewis, who was sitting on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned to leave.

"Are you okay, Rashad?" Garnett asked worriedly, pulling Lewis up. Lewis shook his head, signaling that he was okay.

"Coach, can you give me another chance"

"Coach, can you bring me a championship?"

Rashad Lewis remembered the situation in Zhuang Fei's office yesterday, gritted his teeth and ran to the frontcourt, leaving Garnett with a stunned face.

Isn't this kid a mother?

"It's amazing, Lewis of the Timberwolves hit a three-pointer again, Nash's pass was very good, Lewis's running was also very jīng, Nash made a long pass near the free throw line and passed to Lewis who played a cross switch with Mobley, Mobley caught Wallace's attention under the basket, and Lewis hit Walter Williams in a misplaced position." Commentator Michaels shouted loudly that the return run after the cross between Lewis and Mobley just now was very beautiful, Mobley took Wallace and left Williams for Lewis, and Nash's pass was also very good.

As it turns out, there are times when the power of the god Jīng is indeed very strong, such as Lewis now, who has little strength on his feet but can still run back and forth between the front and back courts. Shuttle endlessly.

In fact, three minutes before the end of the game, the suspense of this game was almost lost. But Lewis was still not careless and relaxed, he was fighting with Wallace throughout the game, fighting rebounds, defense, strength, and running, and he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, until the result of the game was decided, and Zhuang Fei replaced him. He lay directly on Zhuang Fei's body when he left the game.

"Coach, I tried my best, but I still can't beat that guy, he's too strong," Lewis said bitterly.

"No, Rashad, you've done enough to be outdone," Zhuang Fei patted him on the back and continued: "Look, the fans in the stands are applauding you, and this is the best proof of this." ”

Lewis barely brace himself up, looked around at the stands, tears streaming silently again, and for the first time he enjoyed the collective applause of the fans at the target center.

Lewis only had 11 points and 5 rebounds in this game, compared to Wallace, who scored 24 points and 14 rebounds against him, he was almost completely blown out. But fans don't care what Lewis' stats are, they just see Lewis' efforts.

This is a player who never stops running and deserves the applause of everyone.
