Chapter 75 [Between the brain and blood]

Yang Rui was in a good mood and smiled when he went to the arena.

Alan Houston joked: "Looking at you smiling like this, did you get a big beauty last night?"

"The team is one step closer to winning the championship, isn't it worth being happy?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically.

The season is still going on, and it's better not to let others know about him contacting other teams, although assistant coaches generally don't affect team morale.

"This is the Bulls. We only have two wins and two losses in the regular season. Don't be too optimistic." Van Gundy walked over from behind and said to Yang Rui.

"Jeff, can you not put pressure on players intentionally or unintentionally? It's true that the regular season was tied, but we have reservations. Now Patrick can shoot from the mid-range, attack the basket, and respond. We will definitely win." Yang Rui did not deliberately lower his voice, but some players heard it.

Oakley responded immediately. "Well said, the playoffs are different, even if the opponent is Michael, I will not show mercy to him!"

From teammates to opponents, Oakley and Jordan's relationship did not alienate.Whenever Jordan came to New York, Oakley would always pull him to find a secluded, elegant place to have a meal.Even on the court, Oakley, who has always been too defensive, usually "shows mercy" when facing Jordan.

Of course, this was Oakley's way of encouraging himself, and he was never polite to Jordan in the playoffs.

"Let's go, it's about to start." Van Gundy smiled and entered the playroom.

In the fourth game between the Heat and the Bulls at home, the Knicks players and coaching staff went to the arena to watch the live TV broadcast. They planned to study the opponent and arrange tactics through this game.

Unexpectedly, after the game started, they unexpectedly watched a lot of fun.In the third quarter, Rodman and Mourning had a fierce conflict.

Yesterday, Van Gundy said in an interview that the Heat are not strong, but rely on violence. Today, this happened, and the image of the Heat team was completely destroyed.

As early as last season, the Heat were on the blacklist of President David Stern. They not only reversed the Knicks by fighting, but Mourning also had a dispute with Rodman in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals. Two problems The players are not first offenses.

Last season, the Bulls easily won a 3-0 advantage in the first three games. push.

In the most serious case, the two fell out of the field without letting each other go. Rodman pressed Mourning under him, and Mourning wanted to hit Rodman on the head.In the end, the two were separated by the referee, only a technical foul was called, and no one was sent off.

In that game, the Heat finally won the Bulls 87-80, which was the first time the Heat won against the Bulls in the history of the playoffs, but they still lost to the Bulls in the fifth game and were eliminated.

History repeated itself this year. The Heat fell behind 0-3. Mourning and Rodman made great defensive moves. The skirmish turned into a wrestling competition, and then it turned into a boxing competition. El Jackson, unlike Van Gundy, didn't rush onto the court to hug Mourning's thigh and protect Rodman.

The result of PK was that Rodman was beaten by Mourning, and the referee sent both of them out.

As for Rodman, fans who don't know the truth always think that he fights very well. In fact, he rarely does anything. As long as the opponent does, Rodman will achieve his goal.He used all kinds of obscene and obscene actions to provoke the opponent's star, just to provoke that person, and he learned from Ranbir.

Although Laimbeer is known as the worst person in the NBA, he has exhausted all kinds of insidious tricks on the court, but he is rarely seen fighting with others. Rolling around in front of the door.Although Rodman is not that obscene, he will sit in the place where he was violated and demonstrate to the referee whenever he feels that he is violated and full of grievances but the referee ignores it.

Rodman had a bad performance this time, and Mourning had an even worse temper. He did what he said.And Rodman is also on Stern's blacklist, because in 1997 he put an ugly scene on TV. In front of the world, he lost his focus and fell off the field and kicked the photographer in the crotch.

After Mourning was ejected, the Heat collapsed at the end, losing 80-101 and being swept out 0-4.

The Bulls players are also black-faced when they come off the court, and Rodman might be suspended, which will put them at a disadvantage in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bulls are unlucky, Knicks players are not light, gloating is the essence of happiness.

Van Gundy turned off the TV and took the stage, directly using the two teams as negative teaching materials. "In the next game, everyone must control their emotions. Don't act just because of the opponent's provocation. Forbearance is not soft. Our goal is to win the championship, not to beat the opponent with fists. Did you hear it clearly?"

"Clear!" the two restless villains, Johnson and Oakley, took the lead in shouting.As long as they don't go crazy, other people generally can't fight.

Van Gundy was in a good mood and laughed: "I won't say much about boosting morale. I think you are the best. Next, discuss tactics."

The next day, the league announced the penalty decision.

If after 2005, a fight of this level will be banned for at least ten games.President David Stern was very angry, but he did not impose heavy penalties on Mourning and Rodman at this juncture.

The two are only fined 5000 and suspended for one game each. Rodman will miss the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, and Mourning will accumulate it into the regular season next season.

This arrangement is for the sake of the excitement and ratings of the Eastern Conference finals. If Rodman misses more than one game, I am afraid the game will lose the suspense. No one wants to see Jordan go out and retire in this way.

Another reason for the alliance's tolerance is that labor negotiations are imminent. Stern knows that it is difficult for the two sides to negotiate. If a heavy penalty is imposed, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of labor negotiations and smear the image of the alliance.

The world is so beautiful, and the players are so grumpy, not good, not good.

Of course, the boss doesn't want to increase wages for such people, watching them savagely fight on the field with high salaries.

The news media have condemned the violence on the court, with the same tone. Only a few Heat fans advocated Mourning's "iron blood", believing that he is a superstar and that his unyielding spirit made him go crazy.

Yang Rui thought it was funny, but he was so bloody?This guy obviously beats people when he can't afford to lose. He has been doing this for two consecutive years, and he is a complete hooligan. No matter which basketball league he plays in the world, his iron-blooded actions are fouls.

The reason for the conflict between Mourning and Rodman is even more speechless. If they were not on the court, but on the street, then the scene would be similar to "What are you looking at?" "How am I looking at you?" Then the two of them It started.

Who would say such a normal person is hot-blooded?It's more appropriate to describe it as insane.

Sometimes, between the brain and the blood, there is a basketball court...
