Chapter 415: The Blackfoot Incident (Part II)
For Bowen's black-footed behavior, it is not only Sessions who have been hurt, there have been many people who have been hurt before Sessions.
Carter, Iverson, Kobe, Ray Allen, Maddy, Finley, Paul and many other stars have all been blackfooted by Bowen.
And the evaluation of Bowen is as consistent as the evaluation of Jordan, and there is no dispute about the evaluation of Bowen by the entire league, just as there is no dispute about the evaluation of Jordan God, and the evaluation of Bowen is a dirty guy.
And that's true. If you watch the video, you will find out what Bowen has done.
Even Brent Barry, who was once teammates with Bowen at the Spurs, told reporters, "You know what? Bruce is a very dirty player. ”
For Bowen's black feet, Carter is arguably one of the most hurt superstars.
On February 18, 2004, in the game between the Raptors and the Spurs, Carter stepped on Bowen's foot during a jump and landed, and immediately fell to the ground in pain with his ankle in his arms, and was forced to leave the court. After the game, Carter accused Bowen of being a "murderer." In fact, back in 2000, Bowen suffered a similar blackfoot when he was still playing for the Heat. Carter later moved from the Raptors to the Nets, and in a game against the Spurs, Bowen once again used blackfoot tactics when Carter attacked. Carter, who was caught on the ground, was furious and chased Bowen to fight, but was later taken down by the referee.
In March 2006, during a game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, Bowen and Ray Allen both fell to the ground in a tangling match, and then Bowen coldly kicked Ray Allen in the back. Enraged, Aaron wants to hit Bowen and is eventually persuaded to do so. After the incident, Allen called the executive vice president of the league to complain, and eventually Bowen was fined $10,000. Years later, Bowen said in an interview that this was the only time in his career that he had been in the dark.
Apparently Bowen's words are not to be trusted, and in November 2006, Bowen actually hit the Knicks players twice in a matter of days. On November 6, when the Knicks played the Spurs at home, when Francis took a jump shot in front of Bowen, Bowen put his foot at Francis' feet, and the latter was injured when he fell to the ground. A few days later, the Knicks hit the Spurs again, this time with Bowen targeting Jamal Crawford, but Crawford narrowly escaped when he landed. But Bowen's actions angered Knicks coach Isaiah "The Smiling Assassin" Thomas, who threatened Bowen: "Next time I do this, I'll break your legs." ”
In fact, Ray Allen and Bowen were good friends before entering the league, but then the relationship gradually deteriorated. In the 2005 playoff series between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, the two had a war of words, again due to Bowen's defense. Aaron accused Bowen of playing dirty in front of the media, and Bowen sarcastically mocked Aaron for playing "sissy".
In the series that beat the Kings in the first round that year, Allen averaged 32.4 points per game, shooting 51.4% from the field and 45.2% from three-point range, and in the second round, under Bowen's defense, Allen averaged 21.5 points per game, shooting 43.5% from the field and only 30% from three-point range. In response to Bowen's defensive harassment, Allen called him unworthy of basketball: "He's not playing basketball at all, I don't even know what he's here for. They sent him into the field, and he played with his fists and elbows. He didn't play basketball at all. ”
Bowen was simple and brutal when it came to Ray Allen's response: "Great players never say that, and you'll never hear Jordan say, 'John Starks doesn't play basketball.'" Starks may have violated him (Jordan) with his body, but all he did was hit back with his body and keep playing. ”
Bowen's black feet caused a lot of controversy in the league, and the league's vice president personally called Bowen, and although the previous matter was no longer pursued, Bowen had to change his defensive strategy. Popovich, on the other hand, told Bowen to forget Jì Jackson's warning, maintain his original defensive style, and not be distracted by the outside world.
After blackkicking Sessions, Chen also accepted the league's punishment, and was fined $25,000 for punching others, as well as a two-game ban. The penalty score didn't care about Chen Jiyuan at all, but the punishment of a two-game ban made Chen Jiyuan still feel very uncomfortable. But Chen Jiyuan also knew that his behavior would definitely not escape the punishment of the ban, so Chen Jiyuan did not plan to appeal anything, it was impossible to successfully appeal at all, and it would only have a negative impact on himself, such an appeal would only be appealed by a fool.
However, Chen Jiyuan's behavior was complained of by Spurs head coach Popovich after the game. It is claimed that Chen Jiyuan's behavior has affected the harmony on the field. The alliance must impose severe penalties on Chen Jiyuan.
When Popovich said this, Chen Jiyuan's punishment list had not yet come down.
Chen Jiyuan faced reporters and said: "Oh, I don't know if Bruce's behavior is a foul, I think I should ask the league, if this kind of behavior is allowed, I think I should use this trick to Tim, to Kobe, to LeBron, to Cameron, to Dwight, to Garnett, to Pierce, to Dwyane and others, this is indeed a black and effective way to defend." ”
When Chen Jiyuan said this, he had a sunny smile on his face, but the words he said were not sunny at all.
In the NBA, there has never been a foul on Bowen's black-footed behavior, otherwise, would Bowen still be able to play until now?
Obviously, Chen Jiyuan is criticizing how shameless Bowen's black-footed behavior is.
And for this time, many stars have also made their own statements. However, the foothold of these remarks may be different, but it is not surprising that they are all in favor of Bowen. Maybe they didn't mean to support Chen Jiyuan, but when they scolded Bowen angrily, their opinions became to support Chen Jiyuan.
The first person to come forward was of course Vince Carter, who was brutalized by Bowen's black feet. When Carter was interviewed, when asked what he thought about the time when Chen Jiyuan beat Bowen angrily, Carter smiled, smiled very happily, and said to reporters with a smile: "Bruce, oh, dude Bruce, he's hurt?" Oh, that's really unfortunate news, the Spurs need his defense so much, they need his dedication, how can he get injured at this time? I am deeply saddened by this news. ”
It's sad and barren. Can't see the misfortune at all, okay? You're going to have a smile on your face. This schadenfreude is too obvious.
After that, a group of stars also more or less stood up and said two words about this time, and these words are translated into words, that is, Bowen deserves it. Why don't you beat him to death?
The Spurs players are more or less condemning Chen Jiyuan, saying that Chen Jiyuan plays dirty. Then Chen Jiyuan laughed, who can be dirty over Bowen.
However, there has been no remark on the incident.
Afterwards, he called Chen Jiyuan and said helplessly: "Chen, you are too ruthless." ”
Chen Jiyuan also said helplessly, "Bruce is not light, Sessions needs to recuperate for two months." ”
However, the dumb phone call did reveal a little bit of rumors. Stunned on the phone and said: "Bruce was concussed by you, and he is quite strict, and the current situation seems to be that he needs to recuperate for a month." ”
Of course, Chen Jiyuan had already guessed that Bowen would definitely be beaten into a concussion, but he didn't expect that he would need to recuperate for a month.
Sure enough, the next day the Spurs officially announced the news. When Popovich made the announcement, he once again complained of Chen Jiyuan's atrocities and believed that Chen Jiyuan should be punished more severely.
But Stern isn't stupid, how many viewers can you lose if you don't let Bowen play? How many fans are lost? I guess it doesn't have any impact at all. The audience didn't come to watch someone like Bowen play.
But you don't let Chen Jiyuan play, do you know how much money the league has to make less? Starn just wanted to say, you give me the money that is gone?
In fact, the reason why Bowen is so strict is also because he is older after all. Bowen is 38 years old, okay? According to the trajectory of history, after the end of this season, Bowen will be retiring. Already a person who is close to 40 years old. Naturally, the physical condition cannot be compared with when I was young.
Regarding Chen Jiyuan's angry beating of Bao Wen, it slowly subsided. And because of this behavior, Chen Jiyuan's evaluation not only did not decline among fans in New York, but on the contrary, Chen Jiyuan's reputation also rose. Because Chen Jiyuan's behavior is obviously to stand up for his little brother, and Chen Jiyuan also said: "Sessions is like my little brother, I can't watch someone bully my little brother in front of me." ”
Chen Jiyuan perfectly showed his side of protecting calves. It is reasonable to beat everyone uprightly, and Chen Jiyuan is also going against the sky.
Although it was cool when he hit people, Chen Jiyuan needed to miss the game again.
However, fortunately, the next opponent, the Raptors, was not very strong, but the Knicks, who were missing three main players, eventually lost the game. Starkey and Lefu are also working the court.
However, even so, the Knicks only lost to the Raptors by one point, and it can only be said that every player in the Knicks has the strength, as long as they are given enough balls, then they can all play a good game.
In the game against the Raptors, Starkey played well, scoring 32 points and also had seven assists, and the number of assists increased as Starkey had more opportunities with the ball.
On the Raptors' side, Bosh is still struggling to support himself, and this buddy's heart is about to break. The hair that waited was like snow chrysanthemums, but he still didn't wait for the helper that the Raptors found. Bosh, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, absolutely left this place where birds don't. However, now James has no intention of leaving the Cavaliers, and he doesn't know where Bosh will go after leaving?
