Chapter 84 84. Continuous Conflict
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers still maintained a 7-point lead, leading 87 to 80. The Lakers, who were short of major generals, miraculously took the initiative in the game against the Thunder.

It's not that the Thunder feel bad, but Westbrook has been occupying the ball since the second quarter. Thanks to Durant's accurate three-pointer from the outside, otherwise the point difference would have been widened.

But there is very bad news for the Lakers. Whiteside, Kaman, and Thackeray all fouled five times!
It's not useless for Westbrook to act recklessly as long as he gets the ball, and he won a lot of free throws.

The Lakers tried their best to win, and they were very motivated on the defensive end. In addition to the previous conflict, both sides were a little angry, so the action was relatively large. In the third quarter, Westbrook went to the free throw line 14 times. Durant scored 13 points in the third quarter, otherwise the point difference would have been widened by the Lakers.

Of course, there are also a lot of fouls on the Thunder side. Nick Young and Liu Ren Whiteside have also repeatedly walked to the free throw line, but they can't stand the Thunder's 13-man rotation!The new NBA regulations before this season, in order to avoid too many injuries in the regular season, the number of players who can be activated in the regular season has been changed from 12 to 13, and the previous regulations will be restored in the playoffs.

It is precisely because of the Lakers' hard-working defense that they have locked up all the rest of the Thunder. Otherwise, the Lakers would have no chance to lead, and it can only be said that there are gains and losses.

The Lakers took the lead in the fourth quarter.

Liu Ren was waiting to catch the ball from beyond the three-point line. He was already a little out of breath. In the first three quarters, there was no rest for 36 minutes and one second. Looking at the situation now, he was going to play the whole court, and he didn't dribble for half the court. , Let Marshall do this, and save a little energy.

Marshall dribbled the ball to Liu Ren after halftime.

It was Sefolosha who defended Liu Ren, and Durant went to defend Nick Young. Only Durant's height can affect Nick Young's shooting. When Nick Young faced Sefolosha, he shot Like the sea, Sefulosa couldn't affect this confident chaotic master at all.

Liu Renmao lowered his waist to look for a breakthrough space, and Saifurosa waited for it, and at the same time observed the opponent's running position, especially Nick Young, who was ready to let Durant come to double-team Liu Ren or help defend Nick Young.

Nick Young happened to take advantage of Antetokounmpo's off-ball pick-and-roll to run to their baseline, and Seferrosa was wondering whether to go over to defend.

At this moment, Liu Ren suddenly took off and made a three-pointer...

hit!

Liu Ren widened the point difference to ten points with a three-pointer!

"Alas..." Pisaceno Arena sighed all over the sky, and Liu Ren played with their proud perimeter defense in applause.

"Return to defense, return to defense..." Liu Ren shouted loudly to Whiteside who was talking to Perkins slowly.

But Whiteside didn't seem to hear it, and he and Perkins seemed to be arguing, and their voices became louder and louder.

"You shameless bastard, what else would you do but play tricks?" Whiteside was very angry and rubbed his waist subconsciously.

"Kid, keep your mouth clean, you were still drinking milk when I was playing in the NBA!" Perkins looked at Whiteside with vicious eyes in a low voice.

"Really?" Whiteside couldn't help putting his arm around Perkins' neck, "After all these years, you are still a piece of shit that can't even be compared to a bench player, shit is shit, no matter how long it takes It's shit."

"You're looking for death!" Perkins slapped Whiteside's arm off, and pressed his forehead to Whiteside.

Whiteside also put his forehead to each other.

The referee, who had been nervous all the time, took the lead before the players from both sides got together, and immediately gave the two players a technical foul, and then wanted to separate the two points, but the two kept chattering, feeling that their authority was being challenged The referee made a gesture and directly expelled the two from the field!
"What?" D'Antoni exploded, what kind of penalty is this?An insignificant high-paid and low-energy center on the opposite side traded their best big man?He rushed directly to the field and argued with the referee.

On the other side, Thunder coach Brooks also played, looking like he was going to reason, but everyone could see the joy in his brows and eyes, and he looked like he was cheap and good-looking.

For some reason, the big screen at the scene didn't show what happened before the conflict between Whiteside and Perkins, but just showed the picture of Whiteside putting his arm around Perkins' neck.In the TV broadcast, it was shown that after Liu Ren shot a three-pointer, Whiteside and Perkins were stuck inside.

Perkins has nothing to do with Whiteside's height and wingspan. He can't even match Whiteside's rebound position. At the time, Perkins threw an elbow on Whiteside's waist at an angle that the referee could not see. The latter was in pain and could not jump up.

Neither the sideline nor the bottom line referees saw this scene, but the cameraman who was lying on the ground captured this scene, and it is being broadcast repeatedly in the replays of major broadcasting stations.

The referee ignored the two coaches, confirmed his gestures to the technical platform, expelled the two coaches, and then signaled both sides to substitute players to continue the game.

The anger that had finally eased down after two quarters became intense again.

Liu Ren went to pat Whiteside on the back and told him to go back to the locker room to calm down, stop acting aggressively, and avoid being suspended. If he is suspended, he will not be able to play in the next game.

When Perkins left the field, he rarely received huge cheers at home. Although the fans didn't know what happened, they knew that their center forward was a bad guy. The opponent's monster who grabbed an unknown number of rebounds went down.

The game continued, the Lakers replaced Kaman instead of Whiteside, and the Thunder replaced Perkins with Collison.

The actions of the two sides became bigger again.

Just when Liu Ren was concentrating on defending Westbrook, the referee blew his whistle.

Liu Ren looked at the referee inexplicably, did he make a foul?Although he had more physical contact with Westbrook, he never touched each other with his hands!It's unreasonable to call fouls!
But the direction of the referee's finger was not him, but Marshall who was entangled with Sefolosha on the other side!
Marshall, a good-tempered guy in Liu Ren's eyes, actually quarreled with him!
Immediately afterwards, an even more unbelievable scene happened to Liu Ren. The referee actually made the gesture of expulsion again, and both of them were expelled from the field!
It was because the referee was too nervous, afraid that the conflict between the two sides would continue to escalate. If the two sides were at war with each other, if the conflict escalated, it would really be a gang fight.

But the referee ignored one thing, no one can change on the Lakers side!
