Chapter 342: Warriors, Welcome Back!
Adam Shaw, the vice president of the league in the stands, smiled mysteriously.
Coach D in the stands is still smiling mysteriously.
NBA commissioner David Stern in the stands was already smiling and squinting his eyes at this time.
The acting head coach of the Lakers on the sidelines, Jeanie Buss, who had been squatting there nervously before, was like crazy at this time, and wanted to rush into the court, if it weren't for Ham next to her to hug her from behind, she would have been sent off for rushing into the court and roaring at the referee.
On the court, at this time, all the Lakers players had surrounded the referee on duty.
Even at this time, on the big screen at the scene, everything that just happened was being replayed!
Yes, Kanan's shot and Belinelli collided, almost simultaneously, almost simultaneously.
But!
Any fan knows that such a scenario is to encourage offense, whether it is in the NBA or FIBA, at this time, it should be blowing 3+1, not an early foul of shit!
So, in the face of the ranting and incomprehension, anger and disbelief of the Lakers players, the Spurs players on the court and Popovich on the sidelines were all silent at this time.
This is Popovich, when Bowen injured his opponent and faced the investigation of the alliance, Popovich, who dared to talk to the alliance, took advantage of it, and was the one who suffered the loss, and they were all silent at this time.
The referee's blowing penalty definitely saved the Spurs.
The referee can explain that he is fair and impartial, since it happened at the same time, I can blow 3+1, and I can blow an early foul, he can explain it this way.
But!
"No matter where it is, there is no such blowing! It's not a scenario where you can tee off with a five-five, it's definitely a problematic blowing !! â
"It's a 3+1 and it's definitely a 3+1! There is no doubt that this is a 3+1! This blowing penalty will soon become the focus of the entire NBA, the Spurs have profited, the Lakers, and Coach D's team have suffered another wrong penalty! â
"It's not the finals, it's not the finals, it's just the first round, Coach D and his team have suffered a very wrong decision, and some people don't want Coach D to continue to move forward!!"
Spurs players, coaches, and Spurs fans at the scene were silent.
However, the commentators from various countries in the commentary seats were already roaring excitedly.
The whole world knows that Coach D has stood in the way of some people in the past two years, and some groups have always wanted to engage in Coach D.
I didn't expect this year's playoffs to come so early!
"Some people are scared, some people are already afraid of Coach D, they don't even want to see Coach D head-on, they don't even dare to look at Coach D face to face, let alone be an opponent with Coach D!"
In the NBA, commentators in the United States rarely talk about referees, because they are likely to be punished, but non-American commentators in other countries have no such scruples.
Especially Mr. Zhang Lili at the scene.
He had already burst his voice.
"Coach Xiao Du didn't appear on the sidelines in this game, and they didn't plan to let the Lakers go!!"
Teacher Zhang Lili's throat collapsed and was already crying at this time.
At this time, there is almost the same opinion as Mr. Zhang Lili, as well as O'Neill.
O'Neill didn't say anything about the referee's problem.
What O'Neill said at this point is ......
"I know why Coach D didn't show up on the sidelines to direct this game, he didn't want to dump Jeanie Buss, I was wrong, my pre-game predictions were all wrong, I apologize to Coach D, he is not a villain, he is a real strong man, he is willing to let the whole world think that he is a villain, a coward, and he does not want the Lakers to encounter a lot of off-court factors in this game.
However, Coach D may have miscalculated, or maybe he didn't, because those strange factors are back!
I want to see Coach D fail, I hate that Coach D has been successful, but I don't want Coach D to fail in this way!
Even if it is the most extreme D black, as long as you are still a fan of the NBA, you are still a fan of basketball, you will not want to see Coach D fail in such a way! â
O'Neill didn't say anything about the referee the whole time, but as long as he wasn't a fool, he could see that O'Neill was talking about the black whistle just now the whole time, and it was definitely not an accident!
The whole world knows that in the past two years, Coach D has been hacked by the NBA's black whistle I don't know how much.
Coach D's game is inherently sensitive, how could the referee make such a low-level mistake?
It's not a mistake, it's a mistake!
Mistakes are excusable, but mistakes, and mistakes that the whole world knows, can the referee not know?
No matter how much you explain, this is also a mistake!
Therefore, at this time, the fans on the Internet, no matter which one it is, are already discussing this penalty like crazy.
Discussing why Coach D didn't go to the sidelines to coach in this game.
O'Neill's words just now have made it very clear that Coach D is not afraid or dumping, so he is not coaching in this crucial game.
Coach D, it's all out of off-the-field factors!
"Coach D expected that some people would shoot in this game, so he is guarding this game in his own way, protecting the Lakers, and giving the Lakers a fair and just game environment, you are afraid of Coach D, now, Coach D does not appear, there is no problem, right?!"
"Oh my God! Coach D still underestimated his influence, Coach D still doesn't know how terrifying he is in the hearts of these people, the moment he made a move just now, those people will definitely not stand by! â
"Now, let's congratulate Coach D, he and his Lakers are once again in hell mode, opposite him, not five, but eight!
In this game, the Lakers did not go undercover, but they still need to play eight opponents! â
"Congratulations to Coach D for triggering the 5-on-8 challenge again, this time, will Coach D be able to escape?"
"Regardless of the outcome, Coach D will definitely be coming down from the stands right now! He needs to coach the game himself, Jenny Buss, it's not going to work anymore! Jenny Buss is now broken and has gone mad! â
Fans on the Internet are frantically discussing.
At this time, the broadcast camera of the TV obviously also understands the ball.
Pointed all the cameras at Du Kang.
It's like asking, now, you're finally coming down, right?
However!
Right now!
Coach D, who had been smiling just now, whispered twice in the ear of Jim Shu Mi next to him in the face of such a camera, and then, ......
"Coach D is leaving, Coach D is finally leaving!!"
"Is Coach D going to fight the darkness of the NBA again?!"
Excited!
At this time, many people are excited!
Even O'Neill was already excited to get up from his seat!
However!
Coach D, he's not down, he's, up!
Yes, Coach D didn't walk to the sidelines!
"Oh my God, Coach D, you're out of the field!!!"
Originally, seeing that Coach D was about to leave the stands and was about to leave the field, Jeanie Buss, who was in a slightly more stable mood, was stupid at this time.
Not only Jeanie Buss, but the other three assistant coaches of the Lakers next to him, Nash, Ham, and Clifford, are all stupid!
Even Popovich was stunned at this time.
Coach D, did not end up, even, left directly?
Is this a protest?
Is this a silent protest?
Is this a hint that the Lakers players will quit outright?
Wrong!
Coach D is definitely not such a person!
He is not afraid even if God is on the other side, he will be afraid of this?
So, what does Coach D mean by that?
No one knows what Coach D means.
The Lakers fans at the scene were also confused at this time.
And on the pitch.
At this time, the players on the court of the Lakers were still surrounding the referee to explain, and asked the referee to review the video before making this decision.
However, the referee didn't plan to watch the replay at all, but kept pointing to his eyes, which was to show the Lakers players that he believed in his eyes and believed in his own judgment, you people should stop messing around, otherwise they will all be disrespectful to the referee!
How could a Lakers player possibly be satisfied with such a result and explanation?
And then!
Tīŧ
Tīŧ
Tīŧ
Tīŧ
With 4 T's in a row!
Kanan, Dinwiddie, Kyle Anderson, Covington.
Except for Garnett, who was standing next to Duncan at this time, the other four players of the Lakers were all blown by the referee.
"Four T's in a row! Oh my God! Are the Lakers, who are going to score four points, losing four points now?! â
At this time, in front of the TV sets of various countries, fans and viewers are already as if they are crazy!
I've never seen such a blow!
In China, on the other side of the ocean, I don't know how many people are angry and smash the TV directly!
"I should be the same as Coach Xiao Du, just leave, it's too dark, this scene is definitely the darkest scene in competitive sports!!"
"Is it necessary to continue this game?
I don't think there's any need to continue this game!
The NBA can obviously let the Spurs advance directly, and they even deliberately put on a show for us to make us happy! â
At this point, the whole world of basketball was in a sensation.
Even Duncan, who was standing with Garnett, had wide eyes at this time, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Then, Duncan, moved.
He walked to the free throw line.
This time, he was going to make a free throw for a technical foul.
Looking at Duncan's back, the expression on Garnett's face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a smile that was really like this.
Duncan was going to execute a tactical foul free throw at this time, and Duncan's intention was already very obvious.
Just as Duncan stood at the free-throw line......
"Tim!"
What?
Duncan frowned at Vitesse, who was reluctant to get off the free-throw line, and Witesse pointed to the sidelines.
Duncan turned around......
"Spurs substitution!"
"Duncan down, Split !!!"
Looking at Split, who was waiting on the sidelines to play, Duncan was stunned.
Then, Duncan looked at Popovich on the other side.
Popovich lowered his head at this point.
Bobo, not daring to look at him......
Looking at Bobo at this time.
Thinking about what happened to Bobo in the past two years.
Finally, Duncan closed his eyes and gripped the basketball with both hands, and the basketball made a popping sound as if it was about to be pinched.
Duncan let out a heavy sigh and left the court.
"Tim, I can't lose, and you can't lose!"
Passing by Bobo, Bobo finally spoke.
"Tim, you do your thing, I'll do the rest!"
"Just like before, you'll always be Tim Duncan, and I, don't mind being a devil!"
I can't compare to Coach D, and I can't be your God
But for your sake, I'm willing to be the devil!
Popovich did not look back.
Duncan stopped, his clenched hands finally loosened.
Another sigh.
Oh, yes......
Bobo, for me to bear the darkness of doing more.
Bruce's black feet definitely benefited more than the Spurs in the end......
I've been a beneficiary of Bobo's darkness.
It's just that no one has ever said this.
Bobo has been protecting me with his own darkness...... He took all the ...... for me
"Bobo ......"
Well?
"Thank you."
What?!
Popovich looked back in shock.
What I saw was Duncan's smile.
And on the pitch.
Vitesse hit all four free throws.
At this point, the score on the pitch was 26-20!
Spurs, once again, have a 6-point lead!
This is an extremely safe lead!
What's more important is the damage this ball does to the Lakers' morale.
The Lakers fans were booing wildly.
But the young Lakers players on the court seem to have lost their backbone at this time, and it is difficult to lift their spirits.
"The referee's blow penalty has caused unusually great damage to the young players of the Lakers, coupled with the departure of Coach D, the players of the Lakers have collapsed at this time, their movements are getting bigger and bigger, and now they are completely controlled by the referee team!"
"KG is trying to applaud them, trying to ease their mood, but the Lakers' impatience is visible to the naked eye!"
"In this game, the Lakers have already lost, in the minds of the Lakers, the departure of Coach D means that even Coach D has given up on them, they have given up on this game, and a Garnett will definitely not be able to change this situation!"
Looking at the Lakers players on the court at this time, everyone was sympathetic.
"Their performance in this series has been outstanding, and while that's mostly due to Coach D, the Lakers were able to take a 3-1 lead over the Spurs, and their performance was remarkable.
Now, though, it's time to say goodbye.
Perhaps, now everyone should see clearly that the NBA is a business league through and through!
The Lakers, Coach D, none of them can reverse this trend! â
It's just the end of the first half!
O'Neill has actually started to summarize the game!
Listen to O'Neill's summary.
In front of the TV, Oden, Curry, UAE, Durant, Rose and other NBA players had such heavy expressions on their faces.
This is the sorrow of the dead rabbit and the fox, and the sorrow for oneself.
Sad for basketball......
Even Chris Paul and other Kay stars have their eyes twinkled.
Perhaps, at this time, there is only one person laughing.
That's ......
James!
"This time, you've finally done it once!"
"Next, it's up to me!"
James is already gearing up.
Half time over.
40 to 30.
The Lakers trailed by 10 points at halftime.
Duncan never played again after being substituted.
Otherwise the Spurs lead more.
Duncan rested for a full quarter and ended up leading by 10 points.
This is even more important for Spurs.
If Garnett hadn't played the entire second quarter and held the Lakers' defense, the Lakers would have lost more.
10 points, no less, not untraceable.
But!
At this time, everyone in the Lakers is desperate!
The players are desperate, the coaches are desperate, the fans are desperate.
Because!
"Coach D has given up on this game!"
"Coach D, they've all given up!"
The Lakers players left the court dejectedly, walked into the tunnel and walked all the way back to the locker room.
Along the way, no one spoke, and everyone walked dejectedly.
Even Garnett frowned at this point.
Losing 10 points is not much.
It's the heart that loses a lot.
Ahead, there is a big mountain that makes everyone's hearts tired.
Not everyone has the confidence to cross this impossible mountain.
Because, they are not Kobe, not Maddie, not the back five and Yao Ming.
Because they weren't one of these people, even Coach D didn't believe they could, and even Coach D gave up.
However!
When all the Lakers players, coaches go back to the locker room......
What they see is not a dark locker room!
What they saw was a brightly lit locker room!
Darkness and light!
The man under the lamp seems to be glowing!
Looking at this man, everyone's eyes widened!
And at that moment, the man smiled.
"Warriors, welcome back."
We're not Kobe, we're not Yao Ming, we're not Maddie!
But!
"Our God has not given up on our !!"
