Chapter 039: A Contest of Small Actions

After Vujacic came on the field, out of the urgency of avenging the boss, it was natural to stand in front of Artest. He could clearly see that the beast had made Li Chen lust to death with his dirty defense.

Although the pressure was relieved to a certain extent by running later, if Kobe Bryant had not stepped up, the Lakers' life would definitely not be as good as it is now, and the impact of strangling a Li Chen on the Lakers was huge.

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. In the NBA, there are a group of masters who are not easily convinced, and they will only know who is strong and who is weak. In the face of the former best defender in the league, Vujacic was not cowardly, and he vowed to let the beast know the allusion that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach, and the reputation of the king of small actions in the league was bound to be obtained.

As for the defense of the Rockets boss Maddie, leave it to Ariza, the old monk came to him for this, if even a Maddy at the end of the strong crossbow can't be well restrained, let alone defend Pierce and James, who are more difficult.

Although he was disgusted by the idea that the old monk did not trust his defense, Vujacic did not mind, and helping the boss to avenge his defense was the top priority today. In Sasha's opinion, he is obviously more talented in defense than Tiezha, and the only thing that the opponent is stronger than himself is his slightly stronger body, but Tiezha also has a hard injury, and the dismal outside shooting rate gives Vujacic full confidence when facing his teammates.

As soon as she got on the field, Sasha stared at Artest who was standing opposite. The other party's angry eyes made the beast very puzzled, when did he provoke this guy again.

Atay, who has had several battles with the opponent, knows that although Sasha has a lot of meaningless small moves when defending, he must admit that he is still a little imaginative in this regard, and his character is worrisome, so he never hesitates to play the black hand, and Sasha's undisciplined defense has made him successfully attract the hatred of many people.

So when Sharapova later announced that she had an improper friendship with this guy, many people in the league were discussing, "What means did Vujacic rely on to get this famous goddess of sports, is it just his ridiculous gentlemanly demeanor, if Sava carefully watched any of her boyfriend's games, I believe they would not be far from breaking up!" ”

Vujasic's notoriety made the beast jealous, but Artai didn't forget that he wasn't a soft persimmon himself, and he didn't have much hope this season anyway, and if Sasha didn't care about putting on a defensive posture with no lower limit, and really annoyed him, then the beast didn't mind letting the other party often taste like his iron fist.

Looking at the other party's weak body, Atai was full of confidence, "With just one punch, I can make you game-over." ”

Of course, Vujacic will not know that the opponent has developed dangerous thoughts about himself, since the defense, of course, you have to go all out, although the defense is dirty and annoying to the people of other teams, but the attitude towards Vujacic within the Lakers is still good.

Every team will always need one or two players who are dirty defensively, and gentlemen can't mix in the NBA. The existence of the villain can make those who love to run and jump in the league swing people have to be restrained, and to a certain extent, it is equivalent to strengthening the overall defense of their own team.

Taking advantage of the referee's lack of attention, Vujacic pretended to hit the beast very indiscriminately, and the latter's attempt to grab the rebound ended in failure because of such a collision, and Vujacic snickered in his heart, because the referee did not notice his small action, and the ball belonged to the Lakers.

"Stinky boy, you wait for me!" The beast was furious, only others had suffered under him, who would have thought that today he had planted a small heel in the hands of this kid, and the huge contrast made Atai determined to win back a city.

After the bombardment of the Auburn Hills palace brawl that caused a sensation in the league that year, the beast has now been reined in a lot, not to mention that David Stern has also banned all violence-related behavior on the court more than once, and the dictatorial old man cannot tolerate anyone destroying the basketball kingdom he has worked so hard to build.

But today is different, since Vujacic has made three indiscriminate small moves, the beast feels that he should also follow up, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a small action for a small action. As for repaying grievances with virtue, there was never such a word in the dictionary of beasts, and perhaps in a few years there would be this in the dictionary of that Ci Shiping, but now, his name is still Ron Artest.

Vujacic picked up the ball and the little advantage he had just taken made him think the former best defender didn't seem to have anything difficult to deal with, but what happened next made him completely upset his mind.

There seemed to be a hole in the beast's defense for a moment, and it was too late to estimate why Artai, who was the best defender, could have such an obvious hole, and Vujacic burst straight in.

"Could it be that I've been getting better lately, and Artest has been passed by me so easily", Sasha thought to herself, but he didn't notice the look on the beast's face that had succeeded in his plot.

Turning around and blocking the referee's view with his muscular body, the beast began to hand up and down the junior in the defensive world, first hitting Vujacic the thigh with his knee, and then hitting the opponent's ribs with the hand blocking the opponent's breakthrough.

The experience of the best defensive player is revealed, even if it is such a series of actions, but because it is secretive enough, so in the eyes of the referee, this is just a strong defense, and the foul that can be judged or not is ignored because of the Rockets' home court advantage, and the referee sentenced Vujacic for a mistake with the ball, the backcourt ball, and the statistics desk recorded an offensive mistake for the tragic Sasha.

"The referee, he fouled, he not only pushed me with his knees, but also savagely blocked my breakthrough with his hands". Vujacic was of course not satisfied with such a decision, and lifted his clothes to try to draw the referee's attention to the assault, but unfortunately the referee's ruthlessness disappointed him.

"I'm sorry, I don't think there's a problem with my decision, please get back to your position, or I wouldn't mind giving you a technical foul."

"Come back, Sasha, don't worry, we'll call back!" At this time, the biggest player on the Lakers court is Odom, and the task of communicating with the referee is naturally handed over to him, and the reputation of the lama is not small, and the referee does not dare to ignore his existence easily.

After listening to Odom's description, the referee said that he would pay attention to his own penalty scale, but he still insisted on this decision. Such a result would be enough for the lama, and the referee's decision was unquestionable, but a little pressure would allow him not to favor the Rockets with home field advantage in the upcoming games.

"Well, I understand". Vujacic is not a rookie, he naturally knows that he is destined for this secret loss, and discussing with the referee will only make him more passive in the next game.

The referee is a person, not a machine, and a person will have a certain emotional bias, and offending the law enforcer will only make it difficult for him to move an inch after all. Anyway, he had already decided to compete in small moves, and such a small loss made Vujacic even more determined to play with the beast to the end.

"Sasha, come on, let that bastard taste your power!" The boss's cheering made Vujacic suddenly energetic, but Li Chen also received a warning from the referee.

It can be seen that the little brother is high-spirited today, and Li Chen, as the boss, will naturally not be stingy with encouragement, and the more Vujacic and Artest are entangled, the less defensive pressure the main force will face on the court later, and everyone, including the old monk, hopes that Vujacic can consume as much of the beast's physical strength as possible.

Things are already very clear, the Rocket No. 1 is always out of state, so the only thing that can threaten the Lakers is the best defensive player in front of Yao Ming and Vujacic on the inside, although the bench strength of the Rockets cannot be ignored, but the top priority is to grind the outside defensive core of the Rockets as soon as possible, once there is no restriction on Atai, then the unguarded Kobe Bryant can naturally give the Rockets the heaviest blow.

No one notices that the Rockets still hold another important pawn in their hands, Batman Sean Battier, because the arrival of Atay has put Adelman on the bench for the president, even though the latter is not much worse than Atay, but Adelman still believes more in the beast he brought from the king.

Vujacic and Artest are considered to be on the line, and the two sides completely use each other as a test of defense in the next game, and all kinds of small actions are shown without a lower limit, and the atmosphere of the game is getting hotter and hotter.

Finally, Sasha, who couldn't bear it first, turned on the nirvana technique, and at the moment of Atai's jumper, Vujacic pretended to stretch the soles of his feet forward slightly, and his black feet reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

Of course, the experienced Atai would not be so easily hit, so he decided to forcibly twist his body and fall heavily to the ground, he did not want to step on the black foot that Vujacic seemed to stretch out inadvertently, and the fall would not necessarily hurt, but if he stepped on the opponent's foot, it would really be over.

Of course, the beast that got up from the ground could not allow the matter to end so simply, and in his temper, he slammed Vujacic in the chest, and Vujasic's next indiscriminate tactics finally succeeded in arousing Atay's anger because they were too dangerous.

Sasha will naturally not be afraid of this, no matter what, the other party will do it first, no matter how the referee can't favor the Rockets, he wishes the referee would give the two of them a big stick, the other party is an indispensable key player for the Rockets, and he is just an insignificant pawn to the Lakers, and if he dies together, it will naturally be the Rockets who suffer, it can be seen from here that Sasha's team spirit is still worthy of praise.

At the critical moment, Yao Ming of the Rockets grabbed Atai, who was on the verge of an outburst, and knowing the seriousness of the matter, he hoped that the beast could restrain his anger, after all, the team's victory was more important.

Ah Tai is no longer the stunned boy who broke the emperor's two ribs, because the reason that was lost for a short time in anger was quickly recovered under Yao Ming's persuasion, and the beast's restraint made Vujacic secretly regret the failure of his plan.

After the video replay, the referee spotted Vujacic's small movements, but because it was not too obvious and the intention was not successful, for the sake of balance, the referee gave a big stick to each side of the conflict, and Atay and Vujacic both received a technical foul.

It seems that the Lakers have made it, isn't it just a technical foul, unlike the budget-conscious Rockets, the Lakers, who are giants, don't care about a little money, the key is to make Artai suffer a big loss, everyone in the Purple and Gold Army is very happy, especially Li Chen and Kobe Bryant, who have just been victimized by it, both of them expressed their appreciation for Vujasic, and the unanimous praise of the two bigwigs made Sasha feel that her foul was worth it.

In order to calm Atay's mood, Adelman decisively replaced the beast with Battier, and the Lakers also took advantage of the situation to replace all the main forces, the most depressed was Kobe, who had just been freed from Atay's tiger's mouth, and crashed headlong into Battier's wolf claws, and the Rockets hoarded a large number of defensive titans that made the boss feel unbearable.

Li Chen laughed secretly on the side, "Haha, it's good that Kobe Bryant is on top, otherwise it would be me who will be targeted." It seems that he always remembered the little stumbling block that Kobe Bryant gave him in the first quarter.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, feng shui in turns, in the face of Maddie's defense, Li Chen unexpectedly shot a three-pointer, No. 1 believed in his own deterrence, so he did not take fouls according to Adelman's plan, and he was very unhappy with all of Adelman's plans that had contradicted the coach's coaching style.

Bryant's three-pointer miss finally ended the first half, 46-49, and neither team scored high.

Because of the opponent's overly tough defense, the Lakers only scored 49 points in the half, unlike the usual situation of 60 points, the Rockets faced today because they still retain the strong defense left over from the Van Gundy era, resulting in this game not only slow pace, but also the shooting percentage of both teams is not very high.

Li Chen's performance was normal, with 9 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 of 7 free throws, and two unexpected three-pointers made his score a little higher than usual, but the 2 assists in the half were really not at his usual level.

Because the Lakers' shooting rate was not good today, several of Li Chen's passes were wasted, which made it a pity for our male protagonist.

The great god played very vigorously today, cutting 18 points, 1 assist and 3 boards in the half, whether it was Artest at the beginning or Battier who came up next, the two failed to limit Kobe's play well, and the great god seemed unstoppable in the first half of the game!
