The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 39
Tu Man hugged the ball tightly and fell from the air.

Ratliff stretched out his long arms and lunged, trying to tackle from behind.

But before his hand touched the basketball, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his movements froze.

Tu Man had already thrown the ball to Nash and jumped out.

Ratliff clutched his stomach and said to the baseline referee:
"Hey, didn't you see? That kid almost elbowed out my overnight meal!"

The referee rolled his eyes, and there is this kind of touch, you throw yourself on someone's elbow, and let me call a foul, is the defending champion so awesome?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Suns played five-on-four in the frontcourt.

Odom had a difficult time, hesitating between choosing to defend Turkoglu or Tuman, Tuman was furious, come on, let me help you choose!
Jamming him from the side, Turkoglu does a typical nose-to-face kick.

Slow three-step layup.

67:73
Kobe gritted his teeth angrily, look at you cowards, a cripple beat you into a pile of shit?
Coming to the top of the arc, he hooked his fingers towards Tu Man.

This is a one-on-one fight!

The Lakers players quickly withdrew, vacated the basket, and stood outside the three-point line to watch the show.

Tu Man bent down, came outside the free throw line, lowered his center of gravity, spread his hands, and said lightly:
"bring it on!"

Kobe shook his shoulders, but Tu Man didn't move. If you have the guts, you can pull it out!
It's boring to pull it out, but it looks good when it's shaken.

Kobe held the ball forward, and when he came in front of Tuman, he suddenly stopped and pulled horizontally, Tuman moved sideways, Kobe pulled back again, Tuman pounced again, already one step slower.

Kobe stopped, waiting for Tu Man to stand still.

The home commentator exclaimed:
"Oh, Kobe is too much! Tuman is still wounded, and he can't kill without nodding his head. Does this mean he won't give up if he can't be shaken?"

The fans booed angrily, and Tu Man was expressionless, staring at the basketball.

Kobe went in again, suddenly changed hands, turned around and leaned against Tu Man, and wiped past him, Tu Man took a big step back and followed.

Kobe pulled back again, Tuman's upper body came back, his feet couldn't keep up, Kobe slammed into his arms again, Tuman staggered.

Kobe's goal was achieved, he strode towards the basket, and flew straight into the air. Before Tu Man had time to stabilize his body, he quickly took off on one leg and rushed over diagonally.

Kobe took the ball back again, suddenly turned around in the air, and got his back into Tuman's arms, "slap" Tuman's palm slapped his right arm, but Kobe threw the ball up with his left hand.

Looking back at the moon, the basketball fell steadily into the net pocket.

"Beep..."

The referee whistled, the brutal thug fouled, and Kobe scored 2+1!

Kobe shook his head, stared at Tu Man, and said:
"Rookie, you are still far behind!"

Tu Man nodded and replied:
"I know."

There are more than 600 muscles in the whole body, and three of them have just been replaced, isn't it far behind?
I hope you fight for a few more years, and you can see the full body of a real man!

Kobe was amused by him, this kid is really interesting, before he said "boy, you are dead", Tu Man said "I know", this time he said "I know", you know what a fart!
There were deafening boos from the US Airways Center. It was enough for a defender to single out our center. He also used such a cruel method of shaking him down. Didn't you see that Tu Man's leg was injured?
Do you want to talk about Wude?

Unmoved, Kobe lowered his head, bit his jersey and pulled it up.

Tu Man licked his lips. Although he didn't sprain his ankle just now, his torn soleus muscle was deeply injured. At this moment, it was still swollen, and it might be congested...

Looking at Kobe on the free throw line, the corner of Tu Man's mouth curved into a cruel arc. If this game is not played beautifully, it will be the last game of his career. Come with me to hell!
Kobe made a solid free throw.

70:73
The Suns played positional warfare, and Nash looked for Turkoglu again.

After all, time is not forgiving. Now that there are two point forwards, Turkoglu and Hill, he can be lazy. Once he enters a positional battle, he will give them the ball and run without the ball.

Turkoglu wobbled into the paint and was about to pass the ball when Tu Man staggered and Ratliff pinned his calf again!

Tuman shouted angrily and jumped up, Turkoglu threw the ball into the air.

Ratliff also jumped up, but his jumping was almost degraded, and he didn't catch up at all. He watched Tuman grab the pass with both hands, and pressed the ball hard into the basket.

Tu Man hung on the basket, swung it twice, and then jumped off.

Ratliff lowered his head to avoid Tu Man's legs, and was just about to turn around to leave, when suddenly a black shadow pressed down, followed by severe pain in his waist, he couldn't help uttering a scream, and fell forward to the ground.

When Tu Man was falling, his knee "just happened" and "accidentally" landed on Ratliff's waist. This should be an accident. Who made him walk with his waist bent?

Tu Man rolled around on the ground and got up with a dazed expression.

What's the matter, what happened?
Ratliff beat the ground in pain, his waist was about to break, this damn rookie, this is a crime, this is murder, this stepping on a cliff is intentional!

The referee gathered in front of the technical stage, and it had to be carefully calculated. Although from the naked eye, Tu Man didn't have any intentional elements, but what if he played well?
In slow motion, Tu Man didn't look at the ground before falling, but frowned, as if his injured left leg was bent because of the pain.

This was not intentional!

So why did he suddenly feel pain?
Going forward in slow motion, the referees saw a heinous scene:
Before Tu Man took off, Ratliff made the right angle and slammed his knee hard on his injured left calf. Is this stepping on a horse a human thing?

Looking at the thick bandage on Tu Man's leg, the referees felt a surge of admiration. The injury on his left leg added to the injury, and he jumped up to catch the lob recklessly. How hard-hearted this kid is!

Looking at Ratliff who was prostrate on the ground and howling, the referee felt very tired. You murderer, what are you doing here?
The referee stood on the bottom line and pointed to the frontcourt of the Lakers.

Nothing wrong, keep playing!

The US Airways Center arena was full of joy, and the fans in the front row shouted to the referee:

"Hey, you are so wise, the old man is an actor!"

"You are the fairest referee in the NBA!"

"Nice job..."

Phil Jackson called a timeout, and the Lakers medical team carried Ratliff away on a stretcher. Gasol put his hands on his waist, with a face of reluctance.

He also felt that Tu Man was too dark towards him, but seeing Ratliff's fate, he suddenly realized, did Tu Man show mercy before?
Remembering that he had elbowed Tuman before leaving the field, Gasol was very worried. This kid took revenge, really ruthless, don't let him be carried out in a while!

Phil Jackson waved his hand, go, what are you doing in a daze, didn't you see the kickoff?
Gasol squirmed and ran onto the field, came to Tuman, crossed his arms, and stayed away from him, like a girl with a cleanliness, got on the bus...
