218. Crisis of infighting
The Lakers attacked again, the ball swirled around in the hands of several players, and returned to Kobe's hands again, Prince gritted his teeth and stood in front of Kobe Bryant this time, his eyes almost turned red.
Kobe Bryant raised the ball above his head with both hands, made a passing gesture with a false shot, and when he saw that he had not deceived Prince, he pulled the ball into his arms and made a jump shot.
Prince decided that the ball should be a feint, but everyone has a conditioned reflex, and when he saw Kobe's jump shot, Prince followed suit. Seeing this, Kobe Bryant pushed him away with an elbow, strode into the restricted area with the ball, volleyed through the hoop, and threw his hand in mid-air.
The ball went in again, and at 28:31, the Pistons' advantage was almost equalized, and the fans suddenly became anxious, and one by one began to boo Kobe Bryant and Prince, who was not well defensive.
For the players, the boos of the opponent are compliments; What if the boos are from your own fans? Prince is only a sophomore player, although he is precocious, but his mentality can't compare with Huaben, who has been in the NBA for seven or eight years, and he is a little anxious to play later.
When the Zen master saw that the team's score was back, his face could not hide his joy, and he stood up to direct the defense.
The Lakers were a rare man marker, and Patin didn't have a good passing opportunity, so he gave the ball to Prince. The little prince was about to show himself, wanting to break through Kobe Bryant to avenge the one arrow he had just taken.
Unbeknownst to the smooth floor, Prince rushed out two steps, and accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Kobe Bryant picked up the ball and accelerated frantically to the frontcourt.
Fortunately, Patin was on the periphery, ran into the frontcourt three-point line in advance, and nervously waited for Kobe Bryant to hit the basket.
Peter Pan ignores the almost blank box and rushes to the outside of the three-point line, where he collects the ball, exhales the turbid air in his mouth, and jumps with his legs bent.
"Whew", the three-point hit again! At this time, the fans of Auburn Hills Palace did not have the strength to continue to boo Kobe, and the Flying Man hit three yuan in a row, and the fans who played were empty.
hit again, Kobe Bryant was a little excited, he reached out to support the jersey, let the No. 8 on his chest bulge, and raised his head arrogantly and shouted: "Why don't you boo me?" Come again! Detroit idiots, get ready for my rage! ”
The Lakers momentum was high, and seeing this, Brown decisively called a timeout, and his old face was gloomy as if it was going to rain.
"This is your grand finale performance? Damn, how do you want me to compliment you? I don't even have the face to sit here! Brown began to roar with his head over his face, "See the disappointed faces of the fans?" They thought they would be here to appreciate the victory we brought them, but what happened? All you see is you dangling around the field like castrated boars! What about your blood surnames? What about your fighting spirit? What about your iron-clad defense? Is that what I usually ask of you? ”
"I haven't been angry with you lately, so you think I don't exist, do you? Look at your goddamn defense! How many points did that number eight get? He scored more points than our entire team! Tell me, what is the reason for this? Is God attached to his body? Damn, I'm ashamed of your performance, and the cheerleading girls off the pitch are harder than you! Tell me, are you men? Or is it that all your strength has been exerted on the? Ben, you say yourself, what else can you do but make a scandal? The old man roared angrily, his face was red and his neck was thick, which made people worry about him, what if he died directly on the court with brain congestion?
Waben wiped his sweat and frowned, and he endured Brown's anger without saying a word.
The old man obviously didn't want to let them go like this, and scolded them one by one, and the scolded Mirisic and Patin were pale and depressed.
"Do you want me to borrow you a few dresses? Put on your skirts, you're more fucking like pussies," Brown chattered.
Hua Ben couldn't bear it, threw off the towel and shouted: "Enough, enough, enough!" Have you scolded enough? Are you calling a timeout to vent your anger on us? Are we happy if we don't play well? Are you trying to say that Tyshawn's defense is bad? You give me a good look at the game video, Kobe's hands are as hot as a teppanyaki, even if God is in defense, it's useless! Tyshawn has done well enough, put away your harsh gaze, and look at Darko and Paddy, how scared you are? You are our coach, the one who is going to lead us to victory, not a fucking Hitler! ”
Huaben's sudden outburst of anger startled everyone, and the newcomers were even more confused, and Brown has been playing the role of the godfather of the Pistons. At the start of the season, Brown's high-pressure policies made everyone tremble, and anyone who didn't perform to his liking would be verbally abused and suppressed by him, and Mirisic almost ruined that.
Fortunately, halfway through the season, Big Ben suddenly broke out and led the team to consecutive wins, and Brown reined in his bad temper and became a little kinder. played badly today, and the players had already been mentally prepared, speculating that Brown would return to his surname, but they didn't expect that Big Ben was more grumpy than the head coach, and he bombarded him directly.
Brown obviously didn't expect that he was caught off guard by Hua Ben's scolding, and when he reacted, his expression suddenly became dangerous, and he asked coldly, "Ben, what are you doing here?" ”
Campbell stood up and persuaded with his old qualifications: "Coach, captain, don't be like this, don't get excited, the game has just begun, we still have a chance"
"You sit down, I want to ask Ben, what does he mean?" Brown asked coldly with a grim face.
Hua Ben showed a funny expression, spread his hands and said, "What do you mean by asking me?" Hey, Larry, don't you even understand what the I mean? I mean it very simply, it's the finals, every second counts now, and now we need confidence! Any idea why the Lakers aren't favored? Because they're in the midst of infighting! What are you doing now? Aren't you also triggering our infighting?! ”
Brown stared straight at Warben, who also stared at him fiercely, and the reporters on the sidelines clearly noticed the Pistons' problems, and immediately someone tried to get up, and Rashid and Mirisic drove the reporters away.
Campbell played the round and said, "Okay, gentlemen, the game is about to start, come on, calm down, we are a team, the best team!" ”
Brown tapped his finger at Warburn, then pointed to the bench and said, "If you have a problem with my command, then you can go and report to the uniforms, but everything will have to wait until after the game." For now, you sit on the bench for me, Rashid, Coleman, you play. ”
Wabbon threw the towel on the floor and the caddy handed him the T-shirt, but he took it and threw it at Mirisic and refused to put it on.
If the previous quarrel within the Pistons didn't make the fans decide on their names, now Huaben's refusal to wear a T-shirt indicating the end of the game clearly sends a signal to the outside world: The Pistons coach has a dispute with his captain.
Seeing this scene, the fans were in an uproar, and in the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley and Smith also shouted: "Are the Detroiters going against the sky?" Oh God, I always thought that only the Lakers were on the verge of collapse, it turned out that it was not only them, but also the Pistons had internal conflicts! Now the league reporters can write, I bet this finals can feed a paparazzi for every media outlets! ”
The Lakers are all happy, especially when the big screen shows what happened on the Pistons bench, everything that Waben threw his towel and the old coach stared at was seen in their eyes.
O'Neill and Malone high-fived and laughed. Kobe Bryant and Fisher hugged each other, and Xiaoyu smiled: "I heard AI say that Brown is very controlling, he used to want to suppress AI as the emperor in Philadelphia, it seems that in Detroit he still doesn't change his surname, Ben and AI have the same problem." ”
"Let God bless the people of Detroit." Kobe Bryant said lightly, and after speaking, he and Fisher burst into laughter at the same time.
Fans don't want to see infighting, and Detroit's workers are a team spirit, and despite their poor results in recent years, there's a good atmosphere in the locker room where every player feels like brothers. Now seeing the conflict between the star and the coach, the fans took out a small horn and shouted:
"Unanimous to the outside world! Unanimous to the outside world! ”
"Don't learn OK combinations!"
"Take a step back, open the sky!"
Billups was about to play, he tidied up his clothes, frowned, and suddenly grabbed Hamilton and Rashid, and said: "This is not what we want, we can't do this, the conflict between Ben and Larry will ruin this feast!" ”
"Is there anything you can do about it?" Rashid said sadly.
Today, not only the Lakers' wife group arrived at the scene, but also a lot of beauties from the Pistons. And Eva finished the contract and found time to watch the game live, and when she saw Huaben drop the towel, she covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief.
Brown pointed to the bench for Wajben to sit down, the Pistons players were in a gloomy mood and didn't speak, she thought about it and walked over.
"Larry, thank you for leading Ben to the Finals, I know, it's every player's dream." Eva said with a smile.
Reach out and don't hit the smiley person, and Brown and Eva still have a good relationship, although he used verbal stimulation to walk through Eva before, since the playoffs, they often stay together, Eva and Bell also went to Brown's house to ask his wife for advice on how to make pizza and Italian food, and they are already very familiar.
Brown still kept his face stiff and his tone was much better, "Thank you for the compliment, in fact this is what every coach would like to see." ”
Eva smiled and nodded, "But I guess the championship is what you'd like to see more, right?" "Ben's temper is always so short-tempered, you've been with him for a long time, you should know his surname, he's the kind of person who is outspoken, you have to forgive him for the way he behaves to you, you know, he's too hungry to win." ”
"They didn't play well, and the fans didn't come to see them play like that." Brown's tone loosened.
