NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 474 The stepping monster is finally here!
After both players calmed down, the game resumed.

It's still the Lakers' offense.

In this round, the Warriors used an early flanking strategy against Xue Liancheng, forcing him to pass the ball.

In fact, Xue Liancheng often encounters this kind of situation, so it's not surprising.

He can still do very well in running, pulling and connecting the ball. His ability without the ball is definitely top-notch at the point guard position.

So he didn't hesitate at all and gave the ball directly to George.

As another ball-handling point for the Lakers and the former leader of the Pacers, George still has no problem handling the ball.

The biggest problem is that George is easy to get into trouble, or to be more precise, George's offensive choices sometimes have big problems.

Like this round, George, as always, wanted to run in when he got the ball, but George's speed, rhythm, strength, and explosiveness were all dominant, and it was difficult to pass Durant.

You can only blast the ball back and forth in place.

For the same reason, Curry and Durant also specifically look for Zubac in pick-and-rolls. Zubac is also a breakthrough for Durant and Curry.

And George felt extremely hot, making 9 of 6 shots and 5 of 4 free throws, scoring 18 points crazily.

But the current situation of the Warriors and Lakers is not the same.

At this time, George suddenly changed the direction of his crotch, causing Pachulia's body to lose balance.

Unless he feels bad about it.

However, the Lakers' double attack was so fierce that their success rate was not as high as George's.

Time passed by second by second, and George, who was dribbling the ball back and forth, suddenly took a big step, scaring Pachulia to step back.

George was in very good shape in this game.

Only by capturing Tianwang Mountain early can they truly find the valve to qualify. Otherwise, things will change later.

Xue Liancheng, who was lingering on the side, felt his teeth hurt.

Once the Warriors react, or find an offensive rhythm, or Green returns to the team, life or death will be really unpredictable.

Xue Liancheng stared at the ball sliding in the air and raised his eyebrows. He felt that the ball could be scored.

Xue Liancheng was extremely happy. As long as George maintained this state, they would have hope for this game.

soon.

After working hard for a long time, I just did this useless work.

Suddenly he took a step back and clicked, and Pachulia flew directly.

When George and Pachulia faced off, they still had the same explosive ball attack, but this time it finally worked, and they went all the way.

But there is a premise, that is, he is absent as the core of the team. It is understandable that he has lost three games in a row.

Next.

Only then did George take action slowly.

A solid hit from mid-range.

Only in this way can we create the miracle of letting 3 chase 4.

Thinking about it.

On paper, the Warriors are definitely a level above the Lakers.

At this time, there were only twenty-four seconds left before the attack time.

This is George's advantage. His height and wingspan, coupled with his soft touch, are his foundation. It is difficult to completely guard him.

It cannot be said that the Warriors have no chance, I can only say that the chance is slim.

George resolutely implemented the strategy of military training Pachulia, and the effect was obvious. If the warriors did not attack from a flank, George could really train Pachulia to death.

As for the performance on the field, the two teams are actually pretty evenly matched.

Once the big score completes a 3:1 lead, it means that they have half a foot in the Western Conference Finals.

Finally, he had no choice but to pull back and beckon for a pick-and-roll.

George once again started a singles and caught Pachulia after a pick-and-roll.

George and Zubac completed the pick-and-roll, and the Warriors had no choice but to switch defense.

In this way, completing the comeback actually illustrates a problem in disguise. The Heat's overall strength at that time was definitely a level higher than that of the Cavaliers.

That's George's flaw.

In this game, George has performed like this, but the Lakers still cannot completely open the score. This shows that the Warriors' resilience and overall strength should not be underestimated.

After all, counting the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of games in which a 3:1 lead was reversed, and you can count them on your fingers.

Obviously.

With six minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers already led the Warriors by 48 points, 41:7.

For example, Xue Liancheng led the Heat to come back from a 0:3 deficit. It was unprecedented and unprecedented. It was a miraculous existence.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, George retreated back to the three-point line and pulled directly...

If he scored, it would be a double-digit difference, and victory seemed to be waving to him.

Because he still has three 100% hits that are useless.

Before the second quarter ended, they were leading by double digits. No matter how they performed in the second half, at least they already had the chips in hand.

If he played well in the second half, that's great.

If they fail to continue their feel, then these two-digit points difference will be their confidence!

When the fourth quarter comes, it's his time to perform.

But before he could be happy, his face suddenly turned dark.

At the same moment, George fell to the ground.

It is actually normal for a player to fall to the ground after taking a shot. This is because in order to avoid the opponent's block, he has to temporarily adjust his body, causing his body to become unbalanced and naturally unable to stand when he lands.

But that's not the case now, George fell to the ground.

And he was still holding his feet and rolling there desperately.

Everyone knew things were not going well.

Randall, who was closest to George, rushed forward first to challenge Pachulia.

Not only was Pachulia not frightened, she even fought back.

And then the next second.

The war was about to break out and it started right away.

After the opening conflict, the referee may have been alert, so he immediately stepped forward and forcibly separated Pachulia and Randall.

But over there, Zubac, Courtney Lee and Thompson clashed again, and the two sides were pushing and shoving.

At this time, the coaches and staff of both sides came on stage and hugged those who were preparing to fight.

But the scene was still in chaos, and it felt like there was a leak.

This situation lasted for a while and then gradually calmed down with the comfort of the coaching staff.

And George had already walked to the player tunnel with the support of the team doctor.

Xue Liancheng's eyelids jumped, feeling that something was wrong.

as predicted.

The replay of the live video clearly showed that George landed after taking action and stepped on Pachulia's outstretched foot.

I lost it!

His head was buzzing.

Because in the historical trajectory, that is, in the first game of this year's Western Conference Finals, Leonard was stepped on by Pachulia with 8 minutes left in the third quarter. He was directly reimbursed for the season, and the injury was serious. He will not be able to play next season. Follow the reimbursement.

In addition, this stepping incident had a huge impact, changing the fate of the Spurs and Leonard, and some say it changed the fate of the Warriors.

Because before Leonard was injured in that game, the Spurs led the Warriors by 20 points.

If the game continues normally, it will definitely not be a problem for the Spurs to defeat the Warriors and win the game.

of course.

This is not the point. The point is that the Spurs' competitive state at that time was very good. The double-German combination was extremely powerful and could compete with the Warriors.

If Leonard hadn't been injured, he might have been able to topple the Galaxy Battleship and create new miracles.

pity……

No if.

After Leonard was injured and absent, the Spurs were reversed from a 20-point lead in the first game and suffered a 100:136 defeat in the second game.

Back at home, the Spurs still failed to make any waves and lost again 108:120.

In the fourth game, the Spurs were still unable to recover and lost again 115:129.

From being evenly matched to even stabilizing the Warriors, they were finally swept out.

Leonard is missing in the middle.

By all accounts, this was a dark day for the Spurs.

This is why many people are aggrieved and say that the Golden State Warriors are a martial arts team.

A stepping stone ruins a team's efforts for a whole year.

Ruined this team's hopes.

And ruined the future of a rising top player.

Many fans say that not being able to witness Leonard's peak is the most regrettable thing in life.

The result was that the Spurs broke up with Leonard, and Leonard left Toronto.

The Spurs are facing a long rebuilding period... No! It should be a period of restructuring.

But now, Pachulia is still stepping in.

It's just that the stepping stone has changed from Leonard to George.

This pad is likely to overturn George's life trajectory and change the future trend of the Lakers.

Now he can only pray that George will be fine...

Mudd!

What a scumbag! The name is correct at all.

The game was interrupted, and the Lakers fans were very angry. They threw drinks, mineral water bottles, and snacks, making the entire venue dirty.

Especially the section of the Warriors bench was filled with garbage. Warriors players and even staff had to move to the player tunnel to temporarily avoid the sharp attack, which was extremely embarrassing.

The Lakers players seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem. They sat there, one or two with dark faces.

The live broadcast commentator watched the replays over and over again and made a preliminary judgment: "The situation is not optimistic! From the perspective of George's ankle twist, the injury may be serious. Whether this game and even the entire series can return is a huge question. The problem."

Commentator: "This is indeed a huge disaster for the Lakers, but I especially want to condemn Pachulia, because we can see from the replay that Pachulia is suspected of deliberately stretching his foot. This kind of behavior It’s very bad and goes against the spirit of sports competition.”

This kind of criticism is actually very straightforward, even ugly, and does not give the Warriors any face.

And the major live broadcast rooms have already gone crazy.

"Last time I pushed Xue Liancheng, this time I pushed George, ruining other people's careers. To be shameless, the Warriors are unmatched."

"In order to win, you really do whatever it takes! Is this the Warriors' team culture?"

"A few days ago, I had the nerve to say that Feng Lai of the Lakers was shameless. Now let's see who is shameless."

"Feng Lai has clear grudges and will fight you directly while driving, but the warrior has his despicableness engraved in his bones."

"It is suggested that Pachulia should be put to death immediately..."

"If we don't waste them, we will fall behind 1:3. They are so anxious! They are so anxious that they don't even cover up."

"Come! Tell me, who is so shameless?"

"This is a basketball game, not a loser contest."

"What's the use of winning a series with useless people? I think it's a shame..."

The fans were really pissed off. The frenzy of the screen viewing was jaw-dropping. At a glance, a row of subtitles floated over in an overlapping manner.

Last year, there was an incident in the finals, which caused Xue Liancheng to come back halfway through the season.

And now here we go again.

Again and again, you can't possibly say it's all a coincidence, right?

It's really disgusting to do such dirty and despicable things in order to win without regard to other people's careers.

It can even be said bluntly that they are simply beasts...

Most Warriors fans were silent.

There are also a small number of people who are forcing their defense.

"It's normal to have some movements while playing, okay?"

"No one wants anyone to get hurt, but the basketball court should be fought like men."

"Who's looking at your feet? Maybe you're really careless?"

"Pachulia is not such a person. He has never done anything like deliberately destroying people in all his years in the league."

There are various angles of defense, but the thinking is still very clear.

But he was quickly pushed back.

"It's normal to have confrontations in a game, but when you push someone in the air, you tell me this is confrontation? Is this the behavior of a man? I was really shocked."

"It is true that you don't look at your feet when you are defending, but all defensive players know very well that when you are defending, when you see an offensive player taking off, you have to put your feet back. What do you mean, Pachulia, when you obviously stretch your feet forward? "

"Pachulia has indeed never done such a despicable thing before, but why did he do it after coming to Jinzhou? Is it true that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black?"

"Haha! The joke of the year. It's normal to move a little while playing. I'll help you, so don't push me..."

"That's not what you said when Von Lay did Green."

"Yes! The awesome guy said he would retaliate in kind."

As security was dispatched and a few people were caught throwing things, the mood of the fans on the sidelines finally stabilized.

The court was cleaned and the floor mopped.

The referee watched the replays several times and after several discussions, they finally made a penalty.

Warriors here.

Pachulia had a flagrant foul + a fight and was directly ejected.

of course.

This is also considered protection in disguise. If you are not expelled, you will probably be beaten.

Thompson participated in the fight and was expelled on the spot.

Iguodala and Durant were both called for technical fouls.

The Lakers here.

Randall participated in the fight and was directly expelled.

Courtney Lee participated in the fight and was directly expelled.

Zubac, who was also involved in the brawl, was retained and was only called for a technical foul.

This is obviously biased.

After all, this is Protopus, and the fans are still angry, so why should they be interested?

Xue Liancheng was also called for a technical foul and got into a fight with Iguodala after pushing him.

In the end, the Lakers were awarded three free throws, and the ball still belonged to the Lakers.

This is also a clear home field advantage.

Generally, when two sides fight, the side that committed the flagrant foul needs to be punished. Two free throws and one throw are normal penalties. Three free throws are also a means to calm the anger of Lakers fans.

That's all there is to punishment.

Both sides have core players leaving the game, and the Lakers' George may not be able to return due to injury. The Lakers still suffered a big loss.

But there is no way, the game will continue.
