basketball never sleeps

Chapter 150 This chicken soup is a bit cold.

After the conflict, Milicic was expelled from the field, lost Ray Allen and Milicic, and only considered Lewis, who had no offensive ability with the ball, the SuperSonics were quickly defeated.

But the fans in San Antonio did not appear to be happy.

In the second half, the entire AT&T Center Arena was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Whenever Popovich with a bulge on his forehead, and Duncan (Daddy is black and white) who returned to the court with dark circles after simple swelling appeared in the camera, many people wanted to laugh, but they couldn't. come out.

The game was played today, the ball was won, but the people were lost.

People seem to recall the days when the Admiral of the Sea was the leader of the Spurs. The Spurs never lost a game of dirty tricks, but they never won a game of elbows.

The Spurs eventually won the Sonics by 20 points, but Popovich, with an ice pack on his forehead, lost his temper in the postgame press conference.

You have to think about how much psychological damage a 56-year-old man has with a brain collapsed.

"Severely punished, must be severely punished! Allowing such players to play in the league is a blasphemy against the sport of basketball!"

McMillan on the other side was even angrier than Popovich.

"Ask me what I think, first take a good look at how Bowen defends Ray! Dak is impulsive, but if I were 20 years younger, I would do the same. Don't talk about normal defense, the video is there everyone We all know that I don't care how the league punishes me, but Dak should definitely not be the only one who gets punished!"

In the high-rise building, looking at the coffee cup that has turned into crumbs, the president is already considering whether to change to a stainless steel coffee cup.

In the middle of the night, the top leaders of the league gathered again to discuss what might be the top three violent incidents in the history of the NBA playoffs.

"I think for the sake of the overall image of the league and the order of the playoffs, and to prevent other teams from following suit, the penalty this time should be heavier." Said the little bald man sitting in the second place.

"No, I think it should be dealt with coldly. This is not a one-way problem. Bowen's defense does have problems. We encourage confrontation, but we are different from the NFL. The NBA is based on stars. Punishment is not a good idea," another vice president, Granik, objected.

Stern rubbed the center of his brows, seeing how pleasing Milicic was when he was in Auburn Hills, and now he has such a headache.

The two vice presidents are right. The overall image of the league must be considered, but the stars must also be protected.

After nearly an hour of discussion, Stern finally made a decision with reference to the opinions of the majority: Milicic was suspended for 8 games in the playoffs for provoking the opposing coach and at the same time brawling and injuring players, 4 of which were in this year’s playoffs , 4 games are for next year's regular season, and there is a fine of 1.5 knives.

Duncan was suspended for one game and fined $1 for allegedly pulling his collar and choking his neck.

Bowen was fined $5000 for re-judging dangerous actions on the court after the game.

Both have caused conflicts, and the league still has no team to suspend Bowen. It may be Stern's godson who will spread his hands...
However, although the league did not suspend the game, Bowen, who was beaten up, couldn't play in the next game.

Milicic didn't fight to the death, but his semi-professional punches were not something that Bowen, who was always on his feet, could bear.

In the post-match inspection, he will miss at least 2-3 games, which is one of the reasons why Popovich is so angry.

As soon as the result of the punishment came out, discussions on the incident became lively on the Internet.

[Did the alliance make a mistake, when will justice be punished?Is it right to be indifferent when seeing teammates being crippled? 】

[There should be no violence on the court, but I want to say that Milicic did the right thing. 】

[It's just to hit the opponent's coach and hurt innocent players?Get the hell out of America, you Mexican bastards! 】

【He just flicked the popo, Duncan also made the first move, Texas idiots, you are the descendants of Mexicans! 】

There was a heated debate on the Internet, and the media was not far behind.

"Trading Players Disrupts League, Uncovering Sources of NBA's Turmoil This Year — Pistons" – New York Times

The fans in Detroit were very happy to eat melons, but in a blink of an eye they found that the despicable New Yorkers started a group and turned on them.

Why did the Pistons become the source of turmoil? Do you think they are willing to trade away Mo Wen and Milicic?
"Those two bastards are doing pretty well when they go out."

In the early morning, in the training hall of the Pistons where there were not many people, Brother Ben was holding a freshly baked newspaper, and the first page was about Mo Wen and Milicic.

Hamilton glanced in the direction of Big Ben, and the cover of the newspaper was a photo of Mo Wen and Milicic wearing Pistons jerseys when they won the championship last year.

"Youth is capital. You can do whatever you want without your wife and children."

Hamilton sighed.

Who doesn't want to be brotherly and happy, but there are too many things to consider in the life of an adult, and if there is too much rush, the impulse will disappear.

"It would be great if they were still on the team. This year's championship is not secure yet."

"Oh, are you sure? If they are still on the team, then Larry will have to stay in the hospital this year?" Billups, who just arrived next to him, said with a smile.

Hearing this, the three of them laughed tacitly.

One thing to say, indeed.

"Dark is okay. Mo is a thoughtful person. From the first team training match with him last year, I can feel that kind of maturity and confidence that is not like a rookie. Looking back now, he Just like a little whale, it will be released even if it is released, but the small pond in Detroit will only limit his development."

After laughing, Billups also took out the morning newspaper he had brought along from the door, spread it on the floor, and read it while tying his shoelaces.

"God Has Left Detroit"

[Looking back now, we will find how incredible what happened in 2003-after Carlisle left, we invited the highly respected Larry Brown, and made a choice in the draft market after Isiah Thomas The two best draft picks: the talented Milicic and Mo, who may be the best rookie in the 03 class, and the key winning puzzler Rashid was exchanged before the trade deadline. Finally, with the efforts of everyone Let Detroit own the third O'Brien Cup. 】

[There is no doubt that Dumars in 2003 can definitely be named the best general manager in NBA history. 】

[If we can cherish everything that has been given, maybe we can make up for the regrets of the bad boy army and establish a basketball dynasty in this dilapidated city. 】

[But after an off-season, all of this burst like a bubble. I am not surprised that the champions who won the championship left one after another as substitutes, but why did you send Mo away?Why send away Dak, who has become a city hero, in the middle of the season?Maybe there was a little conflict between them and Larry, but why did Larry leave us again? 】

[After this series of transactions, it is still unknown whether tickets to the finals can be obtained from the powerful Heat this year, but whether it is success or failure in the end, I think we all need an explanation. 】

【・・・】

Before reading half of the content, Billups couldn't read it anymore.

"Tsk tsk, if we don't win the championship this year, Joe (Dumas) will suffer this year."

"Huh? Ha, that's true. After all, give those two little guys some time. Maybe they both have the ability to lead the team to the championship. But, who makes Larry not like them..." Hamilton sighed , shook his head.

Billups pursed his lips when he heard this, and smiled intriguingly.

"Unfortunately, Larry is leaving too...hahaha."

Since Mo Wen and Milicic left, he took over and became the player who had the most conflicts with Larry Brown.

There is no way, as long as you have your own thoughts and thoughts, it is impossible not to conflict with this controlling old man.

Although the team's news to the outside world is that Larry Brown will stay in the Pistons next season.

The old man also promised in an interview: "If I still coach next season, that team must be the Pistons."

However, everything about the old man has been cleaned up within the team.

The Knicks plan to sign Larry Brown with the largest coaching contract in NBA history, and it is said that the annual salary is as high as tens of millions.

His annual salary in Detroit is only 250 million.

Two years ago, a reporter in Philadelphia used "a professional liar" to describe Larry Brown. This description can only be said-accurate!

Larry Brown has a famous saying that often hangs on his lips: "Hey, boy, this trick worked in the 60s, why doesn't it work when I'm in my 60s?"

The simple black brothers were able to accept this kind of low-level PUA at first, but later Mo Wen told them a story about seeking a sword in a boat, and this sentence was a bit unbearable to look at directly.

In the 60s, the era of Marshal Zhang and Big O, professional athletes who played well no longer had to go off work to play ashes to subsidize their families, but most ordinary players had to do some part-time jobs to support their families. Players retired King would have to rely on players to strike before the All-Star break.

(In that era, 98% of the revenue came from ticket sales. Videos only started to be sold in the mid-60s. At the time of the first negotiation, the distribution of player profits was only 20%.)

Occupation is definitely more professional than in the 50s when Mo Wen's copy space was not included.

But to talk about the tactical moves of that era...
Brother, I have a real copy of the 82 college entrance examination questions, do you want a copy? (The treasure of ancient times is now on sale!)
Originally, the conflict between Billups and Larry Brown was limited to the team's tactical level. It is understandable that he wants to leave to pursue a higher salary. His senses dropped to almost zero level.

"Yeah, Larry is leaving too, but as Mo said before, this team, until now, has no difference with him or without him. If he wants to leave, he can leave."

Hamilton has already seen it, and said this without any emotion.

"Don't say that, after all Larry taught us a lot of things, such as...defense and...well, at least he cares about us, doesn't he?" The team with the best relationship with Larry Brown Big Ben originally wanted to say a few words for the old man, but maybe his IQ is limited?It seems that I really didn't learn much...

"It's really annoying, it's all caused by that kid, let's race quickly, clean up the Bostonians, and then labor and management must give that bastard a good meal."

Brother Ben scratched his head, thinking too much about messy things and getting a headache. Anyway, the first intensification of conflicts started with Mo Wen and Larry Brown. Larry Brown was very kind to him, so we had to deal with Mo Wen.

"So confident, are you so sure that Mo will be able to cross Artest and come back to the Pacers?"

Billups frowned.

"Huh? A team that Dak can take care of by himself, you tell me that Mo and O'Neal can't play together?" Da Ben glanced over with a disdainful look as if to say: Are you doubting brother's IQ?
"But it's not necessarily true. That guy Artest is very good at judging the situation. He probably won't give Mo a chance to make a move. If you think about it this way, the Pacers don't have no chance at all."

······
It was night, and after 2 days, G2, the final of the Eastern Conference semifinals in the upper half, started again at the American Airlines Center.

"Remember what I told you these two days, forget winning or losing, take it step by step, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

Carlisle wants to make chicken soup, but his few facial expressions are really not contagious.

This chicken soup is a little cold.

But it doesn't matter, combining the regular season and the last game of the two teams, he made a lot of adjustments to the Pacers' entire tactics in the past two days.

If the adjustment is effective, the chicken soup is nothing but floating clouds.

He hasn't changed his starting lineup, and Tinsley, who played hip stretch in the last game, can't be replaced, because he is already the best point guard the Pacers can produce.

Their backup point guard Anthony Johnson is a homeless man with a basic salary. Tinsley was injured for a period of time during the regular season. We can only let Anthony Johnson play the main force."

But he made a lot of adjustments to the players' playing time and the team's main tactics.

Tinsley is a fake starter, Jackson will take part of the ball-handling responsibilities like Wade, if the mistakes can be controlled, Miller will come up earlier, Miller's defense is not much better than Tinsley, but His offense is more consistent.

Fred Jones, a well-known Hongyuan star with a strong body and mediocre skills, was brought up by Carlisle and will be used as a surprise soldier against Wade.

After Artest added corner three-pointers and baseline air cuts on both sides, he reduced the scenes that allowed him to attack with the ball.

The main offensive focus of the team has changed from the original idea that everyone should have a sense of participation to the projection based on Miller's off-ball running position, Jackson's breakthrough as the arrow, and Jermaine's mid-range shooting as the anchor. Focus on the offensive system.

It's a bit like the offensive mode of the Big Three of the Green Army later.

The Heat didn't make any major changes, except that Mo Wen practiced some mid-range tactics with Wade during the two-day break.

Of course, these tactics are formulated for Wade.

This guy was very excited after entering the playoffs, especially after seeing Mo Wen's performance getting better and better in the playoffs, he rushed every game very hard.

Mo Wen persuaded him to stop playing and pay attention to injuries, but he said indifferently and proudly: "The playoffs are when you are desperate. You didn't understand that you played as a substitute last year. I was already the leader of the team at this time last year. Don’t worry, that’s how I came here last year, and I have experience.”

There is nothing Mo Wen can do about this kind of blunt behavior. Medicine and medicine can never kill people, and he can feel Wade's vigilance against his "overstepping".

Unity is unity, but people are selfish after all, and Wade's boss spirit has not changed.

Moreover, the superstar tactics played by the Heat in the regular season do not emphasize sacrifice and dedication... at least stars cannot be sacrificed.

Mo Wen didn't want to get into too much trouble with him, so he could only follow this rebellious boy.

Being a father is not easy.

The referee tossed the ball into the sky amid the enthusiastic chants of the fans.

Ao Pang fought back this time, rubbed Xiao Ao's arm and hit the ball.

After Wade dribbled the ball for halftime, he was reluctant to pass the ball to Mo Wen.

Mo Wen was about to pass the ball back politely, but he stretched his hand halfway and turned the direction. Haslem suddenly knocked away Xiao Ao who was blocking him, and got the space to go straight to the basket. Haslem Mu didn't look back, just waved his hand diagonally, the ball bounced on the floor and landed in front of him.

Fatty Ha, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, did not miss this opportunity. He picked up the basketball and took off with both legs, which was a strong dunk.

2: 0!
