A bang broke the silence in the locker room.

One by one, the Rockets players were sweating and panting as they walked into the locker room.

"How's the score?"

Looking at the gloomy faces of his teammates, Leylin chuckled inwardly.

Could there be some terrible bad results?

When Leylin was sent off the court, there were less than two minutes left in the first half, and even if the Spurs were able to make every attack, it would only be three or four offensive chances, and at most they would score about ten points. However, the Rockets had already led by 10 points before, and even if they didn't score a point in the final time, they couldn't be overtaken much.

“63-60！”

Landry, who was sitting in front of the closet, said without emotion.

"Fortunately, I wasn't overtaken a lot, and I was able to chase it back!"

Listening to Landry's words, Leylin's heart felt a little better.

Except that Maddie's injury was an accident, the Rockets' current predicament is caused by Leylin, if he is not so impulsive to beat Bowen, he will be sent off, let alone banned in the next game, and Adelman will not be ejected.

Perhaps, it is still the Spurs that are still lagging behind.

Although Lei Lin overestimated his role, it is undeniable that Lei Lin's role on the field is really not small.

"Say what? Leading the way is us. ”

Landry sat there and said angrily.

"Then why are you so down?"

Before Landry could finish speaking, Leylin was there grinning. But then a smile froze on his face.

"But we probably won't be able to win the whole series, and Clanton has already got word from the hospital that Tracy has a dislocated shoulder. If you can't continue to play, you will miss all the remaining games. ”

After Adelman was ejected, assistant coach Turner took over the reins of the team. Not only did he work with Adelman with the Kings, they had already worked together with the Trail Blazers, so he was the one who knew Adelman the best, and he was the one who knew Princeton the most. He took over the command. And rightfully so.

"But that doesn't mean we're giving up and we're only halfway through the third game. The aggregate score is only 1-1, and it is not time to lose yet! ”

Adelman, who was following behind Turner, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly.

"Raise your heads. Without Tracy, we had a winning streak. Without Yao Ming, we still won 22 in a row! We are not there alone, we are a group, and as each member of the group, we should contribute our strength. Di Cambe's rebounding and defense, Scola's footsteps under the basket, Raf's playmaking and passing, Sean and Steve's three-pointers. Aaron and Luther's impact, Karl's mid-range shot and athleticism, and more. These are all we need, it seems that the strength of each of you is weak, but the combination is a powerful force, and this is the magic and charm of team basketball. Pass the ball, everyone runs, hands the ball to the unguarded player, and throws the ball. Don't forget, our goal is to keep them alive and well! ”

"Let them continue their dream of defending their title."

Suddenly there was a shout in the locker room.

Adelman, who is not good at words, has once again succeeded in arousing the passion of the players.

After a fifteen-minute break, the game started again at the AT&T Center.

Leelin, who was ejected from the game, could only sit alone in the locker room and watch the boring live broadcast on the TV.

Being at the scene of the game, but only being able to watch the game in the locker room, Lei Lin is more aggrieved and aggrieved.

And the process of the game made Lei Lin even more aggrieved.

Although Adelman successfully mobilized the passion of the players, the Rockets without Maddy were like losing their backbone, and they couldn't stand up.

Although he played very aggressively and passionately, at the critical moment, he lacked some kind of determination.

"Uncle, Brooks should shoot directly, I usually brag about how good my three-point points are, why don't you dare to shoot now!"

"Landry, you should just rush in and dunk! What are you doing shooting so far! ”

Sitting in the locker room, Leylin watched his teammates fight on the field, anxious.

While watching the game, he muttered there.

"What's the score?"

Hearing the voice, Leylin noticed Maddie standing in the doorway.

"Five points behind! How did you get back? How long will it take to get back to training? ”

After seeing Maddie's left shoulder immobilized, he asked with concern.

"It will take at least three weeks!"

Glancing at the TV hanging on the wall, Maddie shook her head imperceptibly.

Obviously very worried about the current situation of the Rockets.

But after glancing at his shoulder, Maddie showed a wry smile, at least this season was not in vain, not only setting the league's second-longest winning streak in the regular season, but also leading the team to the second round of the playoffs.

As for the championship, Maddie's eyes dimmed when she thought of this, and then she looked at the TV with a smile.

The Rockets, who lacked the core, were more and more disadvantaged by the Spurs' troika in the withered inside and outside, and by the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were ten points behind.

Even before the halfway point of the fourth quarter, the Spurs had already decided to win the game.

112-127, and the Rockets lost by fifteen points, ending their first road game in San Antonio.

……

"It's a conspiracy!"

At the post-match press conference, Adelman said angrily to reporters.

"It was supposed to be ours to win, but because of the referee's decision, we lost the game, and it wasn't just one game, it's the whole series."

"The guy who really deserves to be sent off is still on the pitch and Tracy can only say goodbye to this season. We also lost our competitiveness because of this, and the result is predictable, with the Spurs and Lakers playing a battle for the top of the West. This is the league, this is the business, because the strong will attract more fans. ”

Adelman's words immediately caused a stir among journalists.

The reporters, listening quietly to Adelman's venting there with their ears pricked up, kept tapping on the keyboard with both hands.

Then one press release after another, through the spread of the Internet, quickly spread to the United States.

"Was the referee's decision substandard?"

Sitting in the conference room, Stern smiled helplessly, in the face of Adelman's remarks, he must give a ruling as soon as possible, otherwise the prestige of the alliance will be greatly damaged.

"Of course not, this is the NBA, and any major decision is made by several referees after watching the replay, and it is impossible to be biased."

It is undeniable that referees will make mistakes in law enforcement in the game, and in order to reduce mistakes, the NBA will play back the video when making major decisions, and then decide how to award the penalty after several referees have agreed.

The criterion of foul also has a clear explanation of the seriousness of the foul and how to impose a penalty.

In this game between the Rockets and the Spurs, there was not much of a problem with the referee's decision.

"In that case, how do you think it should be punished?"

After watching the video of the game, Stern smiled and looked at the people in the conference room.

Those who are doing it are all members of the Policy Executive Committee, and any policy of the Coalition is issued through here.

"The ban, this is an attack on the image of the league's impartiality."

"A ban and a fine, it's a must, and although there is freedom of speech, sometimes you have to be responsible for what you say."

A group of gossip basically condemned Adelman.

Finally, after the end of the game night, within an hour, the league made a penalty for Adelman and Raelin.

"Adelman was fined $20,000 and banned for two games for inappropriate remarks."

"During the Raylin match, he committed a boxing foul and was fined $20,000 and banned for one game."

The moment the league made the announcement, the San Antonios were in a frenzy, at least they didn't have to think about the opponent in front of them, and they could just start preparing for the Western Conference Finals, and if nothing else, as Adelman said, they would meet with the Lakers.

For Spurs, this is indeed good news.

But for the Rockets, the head coach was suspended for two games, which is indeed a big trouble. (To be continued......)

PS: Strictly speaking, this is the first update of the day. But if you want to make a change, you can't keep up, so you can only send a change in the early morning!

I just came back from my girlfriend's house in the afternoon, and I started to code words after dinner, and I was sleepy. Take a shower and sober up!

I'll continue to have a chapter later.

I took a look at the collection and dropped about a dozen.

I don't know if the subscription has gone up! I hope the big guys will continue to support, ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes!
