nba championship predators

Chapter 96

Zhao Ke and Artest played too casually, but this is not the regular season, this is the playoffs where every inch of land is contested, and the opponent is the Toronto Raptors who are still "aspiring to win the championship"!
Zhao Ke, who was passing the ball, didn't notice that his vision was narrow, and Artest, who was receiving the ball, didn't notice either. He thought he was running fast enough.But the "garbage dog" Jerome Williams, who always marks Artest, always follows him like a ghost.

When Artest rushed to the basket, jumped up, and swung the ball with one hand to bomb the basket, Jerome Williams had already chased him...

Zhao Ke, who was always staring at the direction of the basketball, realized something was wrong immediately, and shouted: "Be careful, Ron!" and rushed over with red eyes.

Zhao Ke finally knew why Jerome Williams was called "garbage dog".

To some extent, it is said that the origin of this nickname is that Jerome Williams learned how to bark like a dog, and he likes to adopt stray dogs.

But Zhao Ke disagrees, at least at this moment, the meaning of Jerome Williams' nickname "Trash Dog" should be "garbage + dog raised by X"!
According to the thinking of normal people, Jerome Williams, who has already chased behind Artest, should reward Artest, who does not jump high, with a down-to-earth chasing cap. With his height, wingspan, bounce and speed, he can easily complete such a beautiful defense!
But "Trash Dog" didn't do it, he didn't even slow down, he just pushed hard at the back of Artest in mid-air!
Artest completely lost his balance, flew out obliquely, and fell heavily to the floor with a "bang".Maybe he was stunned by the fall, maybe he was out of breath, but Artest didn't groan and remained motionless.

Zhao Ke, who was rushing towards him, also did not slow down, and took advantage of the momentum to jump into the air and kicked his feet fiercely to the chest of Jerome Williams, who was facing Zhao Ke with his arms spread out in an innocent pose.

"Trash Dog" flew upside down as if kicked by Optimus Prime, hit the basketball hoop three meters away, and fell to the ground, also motionless.

Zhao Ke squeezed his fist and glanced at Jerome Williams, who was like a dead dog. How could there be so many "Bowen" defenders in the NBA? Could it be that Artest dunked with his waist just now?After spitting at the "garbage dog", Zhao Ke turned to look at Artest's situation.

The referee's whistle blew quickly, and the referee's reaction was fast enough. From Zhao Ke's pass to Jerome Williams falling to the ground, in just a few seconds, the other Raptors and Knicks players were still on the other side of the court, and two people were already lying down here.

Jeff Van Gundy and Tom Thibodeau rushed to the court to stop the Knicks generals who were about to gather around Zhao Ke. They were professional enough to persuade and fight.

And the Raptors players had already surrounded Zhao Ke and the referee, of course it was just surrounding them, they were even far away from Zhao Ke, and their saliva couldn't even fly over.Zhao Ke was a ruthless man who had broken Bruce Bowen's leg, and the shocking kick just now had enough deterrent effect. Jerome Williams was still lying there not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and no one wanted to be hit like that again.

Zhao Ke secretly laughed at this group of stern-looking cowards.

Without any suspense, Zhao Ke was expelled, but when he walked from the player tunnel to the locker room, he was cheered and supported by the Knicks fans in the audience like a hero.

Zhao Ke is too powerful, anyone who dares to destroy the Knicks must have the consciousness of being KO'd by Zhao Ke.Knicks fans felt that Zhao Ke must have incredible Chinese kung fu just like Bruce Lee, and Zhao Ke must have done it on purpose when he stepped on Bruce Bowen's leg last time.

Artest and Jerome Williams, who were lying on the ground, were carried away by their respective team doctors, and their injuries still need further confirmation.

The game had just begun, and the Raptors used a role player who averaged only 7.2 points per game to exchange for the Knicks' new scoring leader Zhao Ke and the starting small forward Artest who averaged 16 points per game.

This deal is quite a bargain, the Raptors feel that in this way, the disadvantage of losing Vince Carter has been evened out, and they have seen a spark of hope again.The Toronto Raptors are ready to roll up their sleeves and work hard. A good start is expected, and the "Black Eight Miracle" is beckoning!

But just after the first quarter, the Toronto Raptors fans suddenly realized that they really thought a little too much.

The Wallace Twin Towers told the Raptors with a strong performance that the gap between the top insiders and the blue-collar insiders cannot be made up by the accumulation of numbers. Even if Zhao Ke and Artest are lost, the Knicks are not mere Raptors.

Zhao Ke, who wore the same style of afro as Ben Wallace, was expelled, and Artest, who was as tough and fearless as him, was carried into the locker room. The situation is unknown.Ben Wallace's inner strength and arrogance were fully stimulated, and he almost broke the Raptors' inside line by himself:
Four lobs, 8 points, 12 rebounds (including 5 offensive boards), 2 steals, 3 blocks.

Rasheed Wallace, who almost turned into a "roaring god", was also unstoppable. He scored 12 points and 7 rebounds, and didn't make a single three-pointer. All the points came from hand-to-hand combat under the basket.

Under the strong explosion of the Wallace Twin Towers, the Knicks scored 32 points in the first quarter while allowing the Toronto Raptors to only score 7 points.

Antonio Davis, the "parallel import" All-Star, only scored 2 points and 1 rebound.

The lineup of the 2001 All-Star Game was very strange. There were 12 insiders in the 8-man roster in the West, and there were only Kobe, Finley, Kidd, and Payton on the outside.The East is even more ruthless. There are 12 outsiders in the 10-man roster, and there are only two insiders, Uncle Mu and Antonio Davis.Since the Eastern All-Star starting power forward Mourning went for a kidney transplant, the Eastern Conference managed to find a well-known 10+10 insider to make up for it, which is Davis.Compared with the other 23 stars, he is indeed watery.

Although "Octopus" Keon Clark is 2.11 tall and was once known for being good at blocking shots, he is too thin, with a small body of only 200 kilograms. He was bullied by two Wallaces and couldn't even enter the three-second zone. He scored 0 points, 0 rebounds and 2 fouls.

In the second half of the second quarter, Grandpa Lenny Wilkens, who had no hope, announced his surrender with a pure substitute lineup, and the Knicks subsequently replaced all the main players.

But can the Knicks' bench be the same as the Raptors' bench?They are even more brutal than the starters, and even more destructive than the starters.

Gerald Wallace and Corey Maggette combined for 56 points, and "Dirty Kurt" and Chris Anderson combined for 26 rebounds.

The Knicks created the biggest tragedy in the history of the NBA playoffs at home. They slaughtered the Toronto Raptors with 115 points 52:63.
