Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 78
Karl Malone was stunned for a moment, and everyone was dumbfounded.

This is causing a conflict, can you be more serious, and you referees, do you have professionalism?

Laughing casually on the field will be sent off.

After a moment of stupefaction, Karl Malone realized that he was being ridiculed!
Just when he was about to explode, a group of Jazz players stopped him, and Wang Hao was also taken away.

Aggrieved, depressed...

Originally, he performed well today and was in a good mood, but now, Ma Long expressed his displeasure.

Regardless of whether he is happy or not, the game has to continue. After discussion, the referee also made a penalty.

Wang Hao's foul on Jeff Hornacek is undisputed, but it was just an ordinary foul.

There was no physical foul or malicious foul, after all, he was going for the ball.

As for the conflict just now, it was Karl Malone and Wang Hao who each ate a T and each hit [-] boards.

I have to say, this is very unfortunate.

In fact, Wang Hao did nothing from the beginning to the end, and showed great restraint.

The referee made such a penalty in order to find a balance.

If it was just Karl Malone's technical foul, he would have to make a free throw, which would directly affect the direction of the game.

Moreover, Karl Malone is a superstar in the NBA, so the referee naturally has to favor some.

Well, Wang Hao had no choice but to be punished like this, after all, his words were quite lethal.

What is more depressing is that technical fouls are fined.

"Boy, don't be depressed. The foul just now is fine. If there is no foul, then the goal will be scored."

Seeing Wang Hao's depressing expression, Gary Payton, the team leader, took the initiative to comfort him.

The fact is the same, this foul is necessary.

Paul Westphal didn't have much, and was played by the opponent's coach during the tactical arrangement.

Players from both sides came on and Jeff Hornacek got to the free throw line.

Two free throw opportunities, in any case, the Jazz took the lead in playing tactics and had already taken the lead.

Moreover, as a sharpshooter, Hornacek's free throw percentage is extremely amazing.

I saw his very special free throw movements, he was hitting the ball, touching his face, and closing his eyes to meditate.

It has to be said that NBA referees are not that strict when it comes to these details.

He can send Duncan off because Duncan smiled, and he can ignore small things like walking and free throw timeouts.

Just when everyone thought the free throw would be scored, Hornacek's free throw went out of the frame, which is rare.

The supersonic players looked happy. If they missed two free throws, the double serve would return to the same starting point.

In the collision just now, Hornacek's arm was obviously uncomfortable, which affected the free throw.

However, he made adjustments in time and hit the second free throw steadily.

93:92
Paul Westphal immediately called a timeout, one point behind, and naturally had to arrange tactics.

The tactic is very simple, that is, Wen Baker singles inside, if he can't hit, return the ball to Gary Payton.

No way, Wang Hao has no chance to participate.

As the head coach, at such a critical moment, unless it is to train new players, it is impossible for Wang Hao to take responsibility.

Although Wang Hao really wanted to fight for the last chance of the ball, it's just that there is no way to say this.

Now that I have to say this, what do you want Gary Payton and Vin Baker to do?You just don't think these two are good enough?
What's more, now is the timeout time, the head coach puts this arrangement tactics aside, do you have the right to object?
You're just a rookie, is it possible that you really have the aura of domineering, so that the head coach treats you as an ancestor?
There are only 26 seconds left in the game, and the point difference is 1 point. The Sonics have the ball.

Wang Hao was in charge of free throws at the center line. After receiving the ball, Gary Payton leaned on Hornacek and crossed the half without rushing.

After halftime, he was not in a hurry to attack, but wasted his time first. He couldn't score the ball and gave time to his opponent.

Until there were only about 15 seconds left in the attack time, Gary Payton made a decisive shot and gave the ball to Wen Baker, who had succeeded in the position.

Just like the Sonics will not give Karl Malone an easy singles opportunity, the same is true for the Jazz.

Karl Malone double-teamed the first time, so Wen Baker could only return the ball to Gary Payton.

Gary Payton still wanted to return the ball to Wen Baker, but there was no chance, and Ainacek's pressure was very ruthless.

Since you can't pass the ball, you have to do it yourself.

Gary Payton broke through directly, broke through to the mid-range position, and decisively leaned back before being double-teamed.

I have to say, this ball is too difficult.

It's a shot from a medium to long distance, and there are people closely guarding it, and it's an extreme backward shot!
The boiling key arena instantly quieted down, and in the expectation of everyone, the basketball slowly flew towards the basket.

At this moment, it seems that time has stood still.

Just when the basketball was close to the basket, the experienced veteran players had already noticed that something was wrong, it was too short.

Horace and Karl Malone still began to compete for positions, and Alden also tried to keep Wen Baker behind him.

Wang Hao even got rid of Brian Russell the moment Gary Payton shot, and rushed into the three-second zone.

Some people have said that the biggest trick to grabbing rebounds is to treat every teammate's shot as a missed shot.

The ball hit the front of the rim and bounced off. At this moment, Karl Malone had already stood in a favorable position and was about to take off the rebound.

Another figure flew out from the side, and another long arm stretched towards the basketball.

It's just that Karl Malone's position is so good that Wang Hao only touched a basketball.

This is enough, after all, Wang Hao is not the only one in the entire arena, and the other supersonic players are not dead.

The basketball was dialed out of the three-second zone again, which gave Hores a chance.

Horace moved towards the sideline immediately, and as soon as he was about to get the basketball, a thick and black claw stretched out.

Although he failed to grab a rebound, Karl Malone still poked the ball out of the sideline.

Karl Malone shouted his grievances loudly, saying that he hadn't touched basketball, which was purely an old hooligan.

What the hell, you didn't poke the ball out, could it be Horace's butter hand?
Nowadays, there is no instant return to defense technology, and the referee's penalty is basically impossible to change.

However, Ma Long is really a bull!

In the situation just now, it was basically a one-to-two tie, but Ma Long, relying on his strong personal strength, still broke the ball out of the sideline.

This is strength!

With 6.7 seconds left in the game and the point difference was still 1 point, Paul Westphal called a timeout for the last time.

"Brent, you replace Horace, we need more guys who can shoot."

Paul Westphal first made personnel adjustments, replacing Brent Barry and Horace.

When defending, Horace is naturally very important, but now he needs to attack, especially someone who can hold the ball and shoot at the last moment.
