Chapter 288 Bad news

"Stan did not replace Dwight, but continued to keep him on the court. Obviously, Stan believed that Dwight could control his emotions. Sir Charles, what do you think?"

"I'm not optimistic about Stan's decision. I won't tell you the specific reasons. I'll tell the reporter after the game. That's Charles' exclusive opinion." Barkley snorted coldly.

Lin Sen took Howard's serve and did not rush to dribble forward, but slowly dribbled the ball forward. After all his teammates settled down, Lin Sen almost illegally dribbled the ball across the half court for eight seconds.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Ben Wallace directly hugged Dwight Howard who was standing inside. Naturally, Javi would not turn a blind eye and immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

"Yes, it's the same as I guessed. I knew that Scott's smile when he saw Dwight not being replaced just now was malicious. If so, they will implement hacking tactics in the next period of time. It will seriously disrupt Orlando's arrangement, and if Dwight doesn't make free throws, then Chicago is likely to use this period of time to catch up with the score." Barkley said with dancing.

"Are you sure, you thought that Chicago would use this tactic?" Kenny Smith turned his head to look at Barkley, "To be honest, the capacity of your head makes me doubt what you just said."

Howard, who was hugged by Ben Wallace on the field, shook his hand in frustration, and then walked to the baseline to serve.

However, Howard had just sent the ball to Turkoglu, and Nocioni also hugged Howard.

Two consecutive naked fouls made Howard, who was already in a bad mood, almost jumped up, but Turkoglu grabbed Howard in time.

"Dwight, calm down, can't you see that they just want to get you out in this way? Don't be fooled by them." Lin Sen pulled Howard and said.

When Turkoglu sent the ball to Lin Sen, Nocioni threw himself at Howard again, hugged Howard directly, and Javi blew the whistle for the third time.

"Although this is a tactic, I used it back then, but I still have to say that this tactic is really disgusting. Of course, if Dwight can practice his free throws, then no one will use this tactic against him." Barkley Say so.

"Third foul in a row, look at this posture Chicago made up its mind to let Dwight go to the free throw line. They are betting on Dwight's free throws. In fact, I feel that Stan should replace Dwight. Dwight is not in the right mood now. Well, if Dwight loses his mind, it is a nightmare for Orlando, and Chicago fouled very little in the first half, which will undoubtedly make them take turns to attack Huo, what will Stan choose?" Kenny Smith looked at the station Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines.

Stan Van Gundy crossed his hands and looked at the field coldly. He was thinking about whether to replace Howard. However, the fourth foul occurred immediately after Howard sent the ball. This time the foul on Howard was Hinrich.

The entire center of the water house was full of boos, but the Chicago Bulls players turned a blind eye and couldn't hear them.

Lin Sen looked at the positions of the Bulls and thought about it.

Howard sent the ball out again, the ball went straight to Linsen, and Howard walked directly onto the court.

Ben Gordon, who was fouled only once, rushed forward and hugged Howard. Lin Senchu ​​had the opportunity to throw the ball directly to the basket while Ben Gordon hugged Howard.

beep!

The whistle sounded again, and the ball thrown by Lin Sen also flew towards the basket.

"Wood is so witty, maybe..." Kenny Smith hadn't finished speaking, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

"Haha, it's a tragedy for Chicago this time. They wanted to foul Dwight, but Wood stole one. Javi's gesture indicated that three points would count as an additional penalty. Of course, the additional penalty is reserved for Dwight. We have to watch the replay video for the specific situation.” Barkley said with a smile.

"This ball doesn't count, it doesn't count!" Bulls coach Scott Skiles shouted at Javi, the first referee on the court.

Jia Wei and the two assistant referees walked to the sideline technical table, ready to check the video to determine whether the ball should be Linsen's three-pointer and Howard's two free throws or Linsen's three-pointer and Howard's one-time penalty.

"The ball was indeed thrown before Ben Gordon fouled. The time difference between the two is too small, but the high technology can still make us understand. Scott must be very depressed. I don't know if he will do this again. Play." Barkley said with a smile.

"Wood did a great job, fuck, this time they know how good we are." Howard and Lin Sen walked towards the free throw line with a high five.

However, Howard's extra penalty missed, but Lin Sen's three-pointer made Howard feel good. He missed the free throw and ran to the backcourt with high spirits.

"Dwight didn't seem to be sad about his missed penalty, and Scott looked excited, even though his face was drawn a few seconds ago because of Wood's three-pointer." Kenny Smith looked at Scott Skiles on the sidelines and said.

At 63:82, the Orlando Magic pulled the point difference to 19 points again because of Lin Sen's three-pointer.

Returning to the offensive end, the Chicago Bulls finally missed the first shot in the second half. However, just as Howard sent the ball to Lin Sen and walked out, Hinrich directly hugged him. Lin Sen, who was still in the backcourt, threw the ball , but this time the distance is too far and the shot is a bit slow, even if it goes in, it won't count.

"Scott really intends to implement the slashing tactic to the end, let's see Dwight's free throw?" Kenny Smith watched Howard, who looked depressed, walked towards the free throw line.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, Howard's free throw hit the basket directly. Lin Sen also saw that no one else's free throw was as stiff as Howard. In fact, Howard basically kept his free throw percentage at 60.00% during the team's flat field training. Five or more.

"Dwight missed the first free throw, let's see the second free throw."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Howard threw the ball, but what he heard was still the sound of smashing the frame.

Ben Wallace blocked the people who were trying to seize the territory, watched the ball come out of the frame, jumped up and firmly pulled the ball into his hands.

"Miss two free throws, look at Scott's smile, obviously this is what he calculated long ago, I believe he will not give up his method of succeeding in both times."

Returning to the offensive end, the Chicago Bulls played very patiently. In the end, the Bulls relied on Hinrich's emergency stop jumper to succeed.

65:82, the Chicago Bulls are still 17 points behind.

The Magic, who had just served the ball, was once again hacked. Dwight Howard once again walked to the free throw line and rolled into the basket with difficulty for the first free throw.

"Dwight finally scored a free throw. Scott replaced Andres and replaced PJ. It was obviously a foul. The most unfavorable news for Orlando is undoubtedly that everyone in Chicago has enough. Foul chance." Kenny Smith said looking at the statistics.

Howard, who just scored a free throw, failed to make the second free throw. The Bulls took the defensive rebound and quickly counterattacked with all their strength, but this counterattack was blocked by Howard. The moment Linsen grabbed the defensive rebound, pj. Brown hugged again Howard.

"If I were Stan, I would replace Dwight decisively instead of leaving Dwight on the court." Barkley said.

"But Scott wants to give Stan a chance to replace Dwight, at least for a few minutes." Kenny Smith said.

Howard went to the free throw line again and missed the first, but his second went into the basket.

65:84, the Magic led the Bulls by 19 points.

However, the Bulls did not give up the slashing tactics because Howard made two free throws and made one of two free throws.

The game was completely shattered by the Bulls' shameless hacking tactics. Howard, who had just made two free throws and made one of two free throws, only hit two goals in the next five times when he walked to the free throw line, while the Chicago Bulls seized the opportunity to complete three goals. .

"At 73:86, Chicago chased the 24-point difference to only 13 points, and there are still 6 minutes before the end of the third quarter. If Stan doesn't replace Dwight, it will be really dangerous." Kenny Smith said so.

In the past few minutes, Linsen didn't make a serious shot except for catching the ball and throwing the ball directly to the basket when the Bulls fouled, and none of these throws succeeded.

"17 of 4 free throws, there are still 6 full minutes left for Chicago to foul, of course, the premise is that Dwight does not end, otherwise Dwight is likely to set a record for the number of free throws in a single quarter in n**a playoff history, and the free throw record The holder is also Shaq, who is also difficult to make free throws. It was created by Shaq in the Western Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers on May 2000, 5 on behalf of the Los Angeles Lakers. Scottie, who is now in the Orlando lineup, is the witness of the record at that time. People." Kenny Smith said, looking at Scottie Pippen on the bench.

The boos all over the sky hit the eardrums of the Chicago Bulls players, not to mention the fans in front of the TV, but the Bulls players still carried out the hacking tactics to the end without any scruples.

When the game progressed to the 4th minute of the third quarter, Howard stood on the free throw line for the 13th time in the third quarter, and the previous 13 times stood on the free throw line for a total of 25 free throws, and only hit 7 goals. Tied Shark O'Neal's record for the number of free throws in a single playoff season, and this time he stood on the free throw line and officially announced that O'Neal's record has become history.

"I think this game will cause crazy discussions after the game. The Chicagoans used a tactic that countless people spurned to close the huge point difference of 24 points to 8 points. Now Dwight is on the free throw line again and it is doomed. Ke's record becomes history, but also Dwight made history in a single quarter free throws, wow, Dwight made the first free throw, he improved his free throws to 26 of 8 free throws in this quarter, let's see His second free throw." Kenny Smith said, looking at Howard at the free throw line.

clang!

The moment Howard took the shot, Lin Sen felt the stiffness of Howard's arm and wrist, and almost pushed the ball out. Lin Sen knew that the ball would not go in. Lin Sen, who wanted to rush in to the rebound, was caught Hinrich blocked it, and Lin Sen could only watch helplessly as Ben Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound.

But Lin Sen also thought about it, should Ruth Edison try it? Since Ruth Edison can find his bad habit of mid-range shooting and change his shooting, why can't he change Howard's?

Anyway, that company has its own investment. Once Howard's free throw percentage rises from the current poor 50.00% to 70.00%, it will be a huge benefit for him and the Magic. David Falk called.

Ben Wallace handed the defensive rebound to Kirk Hinrich, who immediately dribbled the ball forward.

At this time, the Bulls had many players with 3 to 4 fouls on their backs. It is conceivable that the Chicago Bulls' hacking tactics were frantic.

"Andres covered, Kirk made a breakthrough...he chose to split the ball, Deng, Deng received the ball and directly chose to make a breakthrough!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly, only to see Lorraine who received Hinrich's breakthrough goal. Deng shot the ball directly towards the basket.

"Does Deng still want to hit Dwight on the head?" Barkley looked at Luol Deng, and the Bulls fans immediately thought that the first offense at the beginning of the second half was Luol Deng directly under Howard's defense. Yan button.

Dwight Howard was already irritated by the Bulls' foul tactics. Now that he saw Luol Deng rushing in and coming directly at him, he immediately thought of the dunk that Luol Deng made at the beginning of the second half. .

With the anger in his heart and the humiliation at the beginning, Howard's eyes were full of anger, he turned around and raised his right hand high, he wanted to show Luol Deng a look.

And Luol Deng, who rushed to the inside of the Magic with the ball, did not show any weakness, as if Howard not far away did not exist, clapped the ball again with both hands, hugged the ball firmly, and took a step.

"Oh, Deng seems to be planning to give Dwight another face-to-face-dunk (Note: 1)." Kenny Smith looked at Loel Deng who was charging towards Howard without blinking.

Deng!

Loel Deng stepped heavily on the floor, pulled the ball behind his head with his right hand, and faced Howard's defense with his chest straight.

Bulls fans are excited, they are looking forward to Luol Deng's second dunk on Howard.

Bang!

The two of them collided violently. Loel Deng felt as if he was about to be knocked away when Howard was prepared. He pressed his left hand directly on Howard's chest to stabilize his body. At the same time, he gritted his teeth with his right hand. Slams the ball to the basket.

"Oh...no..." The Magic fans at the scene couldn't bear to watch Howard being dunked again.

Howard, who was supported by Luol Deng, also knew that he was likely to be dunked again, and the resentment in his stomach of being fouled so many times in a row and the depression of being dunked suddenly burst out.

Snapped!

Howard's right hand did not slap the ball in Luol Deng's hand, but directly slapped Luol Deng's shoulder.

Under Howard's all-out slap, Luol Deng lost his center of gravity and fell out.

beep!beep!beep!beep!

Javi blew the whistle in his mouth continuously, and immediately stood between the Magic and the Bulls.

Bang!

Loel Deng fell heavily on the floor, and Lin Sen could feel the vibration of the floor. Lin Sen immediately felt something bad. If Howard's foul was serious, it would definitely be a bad thing for the Magic. Could not be more bad news.

The moment Luol Deng fell to the ground, the whole scene immediately became chaotic.

"Boy, stand up, you coward, I will tell you the taste of a fist." Ben Wallace waved his fist at Howard. If he hadn't been hugged by Nocioni, he would probably be in the center of the water house Put on a full martial arts parade.

"God, things have gotten so bad, Deng doesn't know if it's okay, but the nature of Dwight's foul just now is too bad. Although I understand his depression, I still want to say that his foul this time is unsportsmanlike. Morality, he is likely to pay a big price for this, this is bad news for Orlando, but first we still have to check on Deng and hope he is okay." Kenny Smith looked at the Deng.

Lin Sen pulled Howard behind him and walked towards Luol Deng, but was pushed away by Ben Gordon: "Go away."

Seeing Lin Sen being pushed away, Howard, who was a little dazed just now, became angry again, helped Lin Sen and Howard rushed up: "What the hell do you want to do?"

However, the intervention of stadium security prevented Howard from escalating the situation. Off the court, Stan Van Gundy shouted: "Pull it down, pull it down." He regretted not replacing Howard, but it is too late to regret it now. , He is looking forward to the league's punishment of Howard can be lighter.

With the help of three referees and four or five security guards, the situation was brought under control, and Loel Deng was helped to the sidelines. However, it seemed that the problem was not a serious injury, which made Lin Sen heave a sigh of relief. As an athlete He naturally knew that it would be dangerous enough to lose his center of gravity and fall if he didn't perform all the movements like this, let alone being shot down.

After Javi communicated with Stan Van Gundy, he insisted that Howard's foul was a second-degree malicious foul and was directly expelled from the field. Stan Van Gundy closed his eyes in pain. The second-level malicious foul meant that Howard would be suspended for at least one game.

Ben Wallace and Ben Gordon were each called for a technical foul, and Lin Sen was also called for a technical foul. Heavy punishment.

In addition, Rodman, who left his seat and walked to the sidelines, was also called a technical foul.

However, for Chicago fans, this penalty, especially Howard's expulsion, is undoubtedly a huge benefit, especially the penalty for a second-level malicious foul. They believe that Chicago's reversal journey is coming, and even promotion is not a luxury. (To be continued.)
