Chapter 139 The first NBA head coach to be carried off the court
Regarding fights, Iverson is most familiar with the incident in which he was framed during his senior year of high school, which landed him in jail for a time.
Iverson said at that time that he would never hit a woman with a stool, and he was definitely not someone who liked fighting.
This is true. After entering the NBA, he did not have many conflicts with others. Even his celebrations were silent "listening".
However, if you think he is a good person just because of this, you are definitely wrong!
None of the black people who came out of the slums were good.
If it were true, Iverson wouldn't have put his foot over Lu's body back then.
And Lin Ying has a different meaning to Iverson.
Even if he were an ordinary person and saw someone standing up for him on TV and imitating his actions to represent his attitude, he would never forget it.
What's more, this person is no ordinary person, he is Allen Iverson.
The word "loyalty" is tattooed in such an obvious position on the neck not just for good looks.
That is his life creed.
Of course, with a small physique like Iverson, basically no one can beat him in an NBA fight.
The scene of the conflict with Rodman was even a bit funny.
But let him seize the opportunity and he won't be soft-hearted.
Oh no, my feet won't be soft.
Before Bowen could recover, he felt a foot directly hit his face.
Before he could utter a curse word, he felt that the bridge of his nose had been broken.
He didn't know who it was, but this person was just as ruthless as him!
And that wasn't the end yet. He turned around and tried to hide, but his second foot stomped directly on his face, almost breaking his neck.
third……
Sorry there is no third kick.
Anthony had already come over and pulled Iverson away.
It's not that he feels sorry for Bowen, but if Iverson tramples on someone to death, something big will happen!
The scene was very bloody, but there was no conflict between the two teams.
Because it is so cruel, the human brain has not yet reacted.
And if you call the Spurs dirty, there are a few people who are really dirty, but if you call them ruthless, they are still far behind the Pistons.
So this wave of conflict, oh no, is similar to the scene when the two teams met for the first time in the season. This is a completely one-sided beating.
And it was Bowen who was beaten twice.
Iverson was not satisfied, and after being pulled away, he kicked in Bowen's direction.
However, judging from his actions when he came off the field, he also knew that he would not be able to play later tonight.
The on-site technology was suspended, but the on-site photographer keenly discovered another detail on the field.
Lin Ying seems to have something going on.
His finger was dislocated and now it hurts terribly.
He was communicating with the team doctor, but the team doctor suggested that he go back to the locker room to deal with it.
But Lin Ying didn't listen to him.
Now is the time when the two sides are at their tightest. If he goes down to deal with it and then comes back, the tiebreaker may be over.
So after he couldn't talk to the team doctor, he directly called Yang Shuyu up in the second row.
Yang Shu then traveled with the team as his personal physical therapist and was sitting in the second row of the team staff.
Seeing his gesture, Yang Shuyu stood up and went to the venue.
Lin Ying directly asked her to reset herself.
"Will you?"
Joint reduction, like massage, is also a basic technique.
However, he had never thought that such a situation would happen before, so he was not sure that Yang Shuyu would definitely do it.
Yang Shuyu nodded.
"Don't be afraid, it's just...hiss!"
Lin Ying was comforting her a second ago. After all, she was a young girl in such a big scene. However, the next second she put on a mask of pain and almost screamed.
It was so sour, Yang Shuyu didn’t say hello at all!
But the reset must be decisive, she is worthy of being Tang Tian’s granddaughter.
"I'll give you a salary increase when I get back."
He moved his joints and no longer felt any pain. He looked at Yang Shuyu with a smile and said.
It was then that he noticed that the little girl's eyes were red.
In addition to being his own physiotherapist, masseuse and chef, he is also his own fan.
This wave should be a little distressing.
Lin Ying didn't have time to say anything, because the results of the technical suspension had already come out.
Bowen was malicious at the first level, and Iverson was malicious at the second level.
Iverson was ejected and Bowen was carried off the field.
Carl, I have a headache.
Although he didn't think Iverson did anything wrong, he took advantage of Popovich again.
Moreover, this time point is not the time to consider how to exchange money.
With Popovich's precautionary attitude, it's hard to say whether he can pay it off.
If they fail and consecutive offensive fouls or mistakes occur, the Nuggets will collapse.
In this wave, he can only try to win first. If he is sure that he can't win, he will also turn on his "villain" mode.
After the technical timeout, after both foul shots were made, the score on the court was 91 to 90, with the Spurs leading by 1 point.
The ball still belongs to the Nuggets.
Bowen retired from injury, and Popovich replaced Finley.
Anthony held the ball for a single, turned around and scored a layup.
The Nuggets overtake!
Although Bowen is only a role player, his importance to the Spurs is no less than Iverson.
Because Iverson left the game for the Nuggets, J.R. Smith can fill in the scoring.
But with Bowen leaving the game for the Spurs, no one can limit Anthony one-on-one!
This round is the best explanation.
Looking at the look in Popovich's eyes, it is impossible for Anthony to get such a comfortable one-on-one opportunity in the next round.
When the Spurs attacked, Duncan started to play with the ball in his back.
Like the previous games, he was ready to stand up and finish the game at the last moment.
But this time Martin reacted quickly and came up to attack from a flank!
Duncan originally wanted to take action in advance, but the moment he pressed his heel on the ground, he felt a sharp pain.
This made him move slightly slower by half a beat.
It was during this half-shot that Lin Ying seized the opportunity.
"Crack!"
The ball was batted away and then caught by Martin!
Then, there was the Nuggets' defensive counterattack.
This is the time to score. If the Spurs take the lead and are scored again, the situation of the game will be very different.
Popovich was a little excited.
He waved his fists on the sidelines and shouted for the players to get back on defense, without even noticing that he had entered the field.
Lin Ying saw it!
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!
There was no chance before, but now the opportunity is in front of us!
After receiving the pass from Martin, he dribbled the ball and rushed forward.
No one on the Spurs was guarding him at this time!
This is reasonable. Compared with his personal advancement with the ball, passing is obviously what they should be afraid of!
But it was at this time that the "accident" happened.
Because Lin Ying kept looking at his teammates in the frontcourt while holding the ball, he didn't notice Popovich who had already entered the court.
Popovich couldn't dodge, and the two people collided directly!
Amid the exclamations of the fans at the scene, Popovich was knocked directly to the bench...
It's really flying, the impulse is converted into kinetic energy, the force of this wave is too great!
"Bang!"
Because the player's position next to the coach was empty at this time, Popovich fell directly onto it without any buffer.
The next second his expression was extremely painful.
My chest and back were all stinging.
Originally, his bones became more fragile as he got older, and Lin Ying had to break several ribs when he collided!
This time it comes true and the wave of 100,000 yuan is no longer guaranteed!
Because the incident happened so suddenly, it took the referee a while to react and blow the whistle.
The game enters a technical timeout again!
The Spurs players wanted to help Popovich, only to find that Popovich... couldn't get up!
In the end, the team doctor had no choice but to bring the stretcher over again.
After Bowen, Popovich was also carried away on a stretcher!
In pairs, unprecedented!
The scene was agitated, followed by boos and curses.
dirty!
So dirty!
Lin Ying actually hit Popovich!
Is there a dirtier method than this?!
The referees also gathered together to discuss at this time.
It does happen that players hit fans and get injured, but this is the first time that a head coach got injured and left the field!
In the end, the three referees gathered together, two went to watch the video, and one went to talk to Lin Ying.
After watching the video over and over again, the referees finally discovered that... Lin Ying really couldn't be blamed.
It's really to blame, maybe it's their referees.
Because according to the rules of the game, the referee should be called for a technical foul when entering the court.
It's just that the game was too intense and the referee's attention was all on the players and he didn't give the whistle immediately.
The two referees watching the video exchanged glances with each other.
If Lin Ying is called a foul, it is equivalent to calling them a foul!
So this wave can only be handled as an accident.
Because it was an accident, no one was wrong, it was purely coincidental!
On the other side, the remaining referees found Lin Ying and asked him for some information.
"Did you notice Popovich was on the sideline?"
"No, I'm watching my teammates' movements."
"Did you hit Popovich on purpose?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Lin Ying looked like how could you ask that?
The referee finally nodded and went back.
The three referees met, understood each other tacitly, and finally issued a penalty.
Popovich comes in, technical foul!
The Spurs fans at the scene instantly exploded.
"Black whistle! Black whistle!"
The curses were heard in stereo at the maximum decibel level, and my ears were almost deafened!
…
In New York, Stern is discussing with Tatum and others about playing in China next year.
The emergence of Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian makes next year's China Games very important.
Their initial plan was to select two out of three teams to participate in the China competition, but later the plan changed to selecting one or two of the three teams, and then adding one or two teams, for a total of four teams to participate.
At this time, we are discussing which team is better to join.
By now, they have narrowed the scope to one or two teams including the Lakers, Suns and Cavaliers.
While they were still debating, someone whispered into Stern's ear for a while.
Stern has always managed his emotions very well, but when he heard this, his brows instantly furrowed.
What is this Xiao Hua doing?
Arrange for him to control a field, and forget about it until someone gets into a fight, but the head coach is actually taken off the field?
Is this really going to turn the NBA into a joke?
He asked Tatum to continue discussing with others, and then got up in a hurry to make a phone call.
…
The fans' curses did not change the referee's decision.
Lin Ying takes a technical free throw.
Iverson has the highest free throw percentage on the Nuggets, followed by Lin Ying.
During the free throw, a staff member communicated with the referee, and then the referee also called the other referees together.
Of course, the fans' attention at this time was all on Lin Ying, who was taking the free throw, and no one noticed such details on the sidelines.
The situation at the scene was that if swearing could kill someone, Lin Ying had already been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
But unfortunately, that kind of scolding didn't mean anything to Lin Ying. Instead, it might make him even more excited.
If you scold me but make me look helpless, that's more interesting than simply defeating you.
"Whoa!"
Despite the scolding, Lin Ying's technical free throw was a solid hit.
91 to 93!
The Nuggets took a 2-point lead and still had the ball!
However, the Nuggets sent the ball in the frontcourt, and Martin made a big move during the pick-and-roll, and the referee called an offensive foul.
This is a bit like looking for a whistle.
Carl was very dissatisfied.
However, his dissatisfaction was quickly appeased.
Thomas was also called for an offensive foul because of his small move in the frontcourt to push someone!
One is looking for a whistle, but if there are two, it means that the penalty scale has changed!
This wave of field control is the essence.
There are two minutes left in the game, and these two minutes will be two very tight minutes.
If you want to win the game, you must be fair and aboveboard.
Anthony's low post shot in the frontcourt was double-teamed, and his shot that he turned around missed.
However, he reacted quickly enough, turned around and grabbed an offensive rebound, causing Duncan to foul and go to the free throw line.
The scene was filled with boos, and the fans behind the basket even held up the mocking slogans in their hands.
What's more, some people even imitated McGrady's action of grabbing the ball with one hand.
"Dang!"
Anthony missed his first free throw.
"We need you."
Lin Ying said something to Anthony when she went up to give him a high five.
Anthony looked back at Lin Ying, then nodded.
For the second penalty, adjust your breathing.
"Whoa!"
In!
92 to 95!
A 3-point lead.
With more than 1 minute left, as long as they prevent the Spurs' next round, the game is basically won!
Mike Budenholzer called a timeout.
After Popovich retired due to injury, he, as the chief assistant, automatically took over the command of the team.
After the timeout, the Spurs played a tactic that caught Karl and everyone unexpected.
Although this tactic is reasonable, the person who executed it is unexpected.
After Parker scored with the ball, he did not pass the ball to Ginobili, but passed it to Duncan who followed the pick-and-roll and went down to the three-point line at the top of the arc!
Trailing by 3 points, Budenholzer chose to let Duncan take the key shot.
This ball was so whimsical that Lin Ying didn't even expect it.
And Duncan's shot was also very decisive. By the time he pounced, Duncan had already taken action.
The fans at the scene were so nervous that they did not dare to breathe.
Bold is bold, but if Duncan fails to make the shot, the Spurs will probably lose this tiebreaker!
"Bang!"
This ball is quite powerful.
But the ball still fell into the net after hitting the board!
Spurs fans burst into cheers at the scene.
You can always trust Stone Buddha!
Lin Ying was also impressed. Duncan usually didn't shoot three-pointers, but he was able to score at critical moments.
There is a saying that if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face will not change. If it were tonight, it should be that Mount Tai has collapsed in front of you, but the Buddha will remain unmoved.
The word "Stone Buddha" is worthy of its name!
Duncan made a three-pointer and the two sides were tied again!
This tiebreaker is about to start counting down the seconds!
In the next two rounds, both sides played super-high-quality defense, and no one was able to put the ball into the basket.
With 10 seconds left in the game, Ginobili acted as a savior in desperate situations, entering the paint and causing damage.
The price for winning this foul was an injured wrist.
He endured the pain and scored the first free throw, but the second missed.
Nene protected the defensive rebound, and Karl reached out to call a timeout.
One of two free throws means that there is basically no overtime, either a victory or a loss.
Chapter completed!
