NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 351
When the basketball falls to a certain level, four people jump up at the same time to catch the ball.

Lin Tian's outburst was not as good as before, he didn't dare to go all out to grab the ball, and his position was relatively poor.

The closest to the basketball is Zaza, whose right hand hits the ball first.

But before Zaza could hold the ball firmly, Howard slapped him on the head.

Snapped!
Ah!
After a crisp sound, Zaza's painful wail reached everyone's ears.

He was slapped in the face by Howard, and he fell to the ground and rolled back and forth with his head in his hands.

Beep beep beep!

The referee was also shocked, and whistled in a hurry.

Seeing his teammates being beaten, Chasing Dream Green was instantly furious. He angrily walked up to Howard to ask for an explanation.

Lin Tian pushed Chaimeng Green away in a timely manner. Although he was expressionless, Chaimeng Green was a little afraid.

The atmosphere of the players on both sides became tense.

In order to avoid further development of the situation, the security personnel on the sidelines quickly entered the venue to control the situation.

Zaza was still lying on the ground with a painful face, as if he was seriously injured.

The whole arena resounded with cheers all over the sky.

O'Neill said with a smile: "Those who don't know may think that someone just contributed a wonderful buckle!"

Another commentator echoed: "Haha! Yes!"

Lin Tian on the field didn't expect Howard to strike so hard, but it happened that he didn't have to do it himself.

Anyone who knows him well knows that he has always been a person who will take revenge.

Even Ibaka, the famous villain in the league, has been knocked down by him, not to mention a player like Zaza who is strong outside but capable in the middle.

The only thing he fears is that he is afraid of being directly expelled.

Since Howard has come to be the villain, this revenge can be regarded as revenge.

I put my eyes on Zaza again, only to see that Zaza was still covering his head and refused to get up, and he didn't know if he was pretending.

The referee went forward to ask about the situation, but he just kept howling, making Lin Tian dumbfounded.

The Warriors' team doctor had to quickly enter the field with a medical kit.

When they parted Zaza's hands, Lin Tiancai clearly saw a very obvious slap mark on Zaza's forehead.

Howard's slap was really hard.

The live broadcast camera quickly gave a close-up of Zaza's forehead, allowing tens of millions of viewers to see Zaza's injury.

All of a sudden, the entire arena became more lively!

Almost never in the entire Staples Center, there has been such an enthusiastic cheer for a player who has been injured.

This seems to be very embarrassing for the Warriors players.

Howard, as a basketball veteran, knows what to do now.

He spread his hands and walked in front of the referee, with an innocent expression on his face: "Hey! This is not a foul, right? I just want to grab a rebound!"

The referee glared at Howard, his expression seemed to say: Do you take me for a fool?

It took a full 3 minutes before Zaza stood up with the support of Green and Thompson.

He was wobbly helped to the bench, and he seemed a little dazed.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Zaza, the referee went to the technical platform to watch the replay of the video.

The next penalty is extremely critical to the direction of the game, and the pressure on the referee can be imagined.

Warriors bench here.

Zaza took the ice from the team doctor and applied it to his forehead, cursing: "Damn it! That guy did it on purpose! He must be expelled!"

Green also had a gloomy face: "No one doesn't know what he did on purpose. If I don't expel him, I will trouble the referee."

After watching the 3-minute replay repeatedly, the referee gave the penalty to the camera: Howard made a malicious foul of the first level.

As soon as the penalty was issued, there were boos everywhere. The home fans were a little hard to accept this penalty, thinking that the first-level malicious foul was too heavy.

But it was even harder for the Warriors players, who felt it was too light.

Green jumped up anxiously. He ran to the referee and asked, "Isn't this a second-degree malicious foul? God! How did you make the penalty?"

The referee gave an explanation: "This is an unnecessary physical contact, and there is no problem with a first-degree malicious foul."

There is an essential difference between a first-level malicious foul and a second-level malicious foul.

The punishment of the former is often two free throws and one throw, while the latter is to directly expel the criminal player, and may require additional punishment.

Green looked for the referee persistently: "This is so unfair! You must be worthy of the whistle hanging around your neck!"

The referee immediately turned cold: "Are you questioning my professional ability? Don't force me to give you a foul again!"

As soon as this remark came out, no matter how angry Green was, he could only hold it back forcibly.

He returned to his own camp like a serious ghost, but kept spreading his hands.

The depressed mood gradually spread within the Warriors.

Penguin Sports Live.

"Howard did a great job! This should have been done a long time ago! Better to just kill Zaza so he can't hurt anyone else!"

"Haha! A first-degree malicious foul is barely acceptable, especially seeing Green jumping in a hurry, I am even happier!"

"I have been frustrated for three whole games, and I finally found my place today! Howard Cowhide!"

"It's undoubtedly the best job to entrust Howard to do this kind of work! If Lin Tian does it himself, there is still a certain risk after all."

"Seeing such a clear slap print on Zaza's forehead, forgive me for laughing unkindly! This slap should slap him into a concussion!"

"Zhaza, Zaza! I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. Today I finally saw how powerful the Lakers are!"

"The Lakers are not the Spurs! Lin Tian is not Leonard! It's not that they don't report, the time has not yet come! Hahahaha!"

The entire Penguin Sports live broadcast room was filled with "hahaha" bullet screens.

In the Staples Center Arena, Zaza took a break for a while before insisting on returning to the court to execute two free throws.

When he made a free throw, the boos from the audience seemed to burst the eardrums, which did have a big impact on Zaza.

Under tremendous pressure, Zaza made his first free throw.

bang!The ball came out of the frame, and he couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

After adjusting his state, he quickly made a second free throw.

This time I still couldn't get in.

The boos turned into cheers.

Zaza's career free throw rate is 75%, which is relatively good among many traditional centers. It is difficult for him to accept two free throws.

But the Warriors still have the ball.

After serving, Curry ran out of time and shot a three-pointer, but still didn't score!
Howard took off and grabbed the rebound!
In this way, Howard's criminal this time not only did not cause serious consequences to the Lakers, but it was equivalent to making a mistake for the Warriors.
