Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 119 119. Broken ankle, reimbursed for the season!

"Damn, the other side is clearly targeting me, what a bunch of damned guys!"

In the halftime lounge, Bogut gnashed his teeth and punched the changing wardrobe.

In the entire first half, Bogut actually only played for more than eight minutes. During these eight minutes, Bogut was fouled four times, and he was once beaten by Magloire and began to shut himself up.

As the most dazzling rookie in this year's draft, Bogut, who entered the league as the No. [-] pick, has a much higher starting point than others, and Bogut's defensive potential is even more visible to the naked eye.

Even though Bogut has only contributed 9.3 points, 7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game so far, Bogut's defensive ability is very good, and he is the insider with the highest defensive efficiency among rookies this year.

As a result, in the first half, Bogut was not only beaten to pieces by Magloire in one-on-one, but also was beaten with four fouls. He even played very little time in the first half, which caused Bogut to start depression.

Bogut has thought about this question many times in his mind, but no matter what, Bogut can't remember when he offended the Timberwolves.

This feeling of being targeted by the opponent all the time on the field, but not daring to fight back, made Bogut gnash his teeth with hatred, and he could only vent his anger on changing the wardrobe.

"The opponent has always used Jamal as the core of the offense. This is a good thing for the team. Jamal's offensive threat is much lower than the others."

"Andrew, adjust your mentality. If you can limit Jamal's offensive efficiency in the second half, the situation will improve immediately."

Looking at the resentful Andrew Bogut, Stotts couldn't help frowning.

Bogut should be thankful that he performed well in college and entered the league as the No. [-] pick.

Otherwise, Stotts really wouldn't focus on cultivating this guy. This guy has some problems with his character, and Stotts sometimes feels disgusted.

"Okay, do well in the second half." Michael Reid waved his hand impatiently.

Hearing the star Reed said so, Bogut could only let out a long breath, and comforted himself silently in his heart: "It will get better in the second half!"

…………

Back in the second half of the game, Magloire continued to single-play Bogut on the offensive end, but Magloire's offensive actions were restrained, and it seemed that he was afraid that Bogut would leave the field with six fouls.

Bogut, who was clearly pissed off, began to get into the game seriously, and the defensive end stared at Magloire with red eyes, as if Magloire was his father-killing enemy.

Magloire's excessive shots disrupted the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm in this game, which also made the Timberwolves' offensive efficiency in this game very low, and their average points per game were far lower than the season average.

However, the Timberwolves' defensive ability is very strong. Although the Timberwolves have difficulty scoring on the offensive end, it is also difficult for the Bucks to score on the offensive end.

Michael Reid alone can't break through the defense line at all, and can only try to find opportunities through a large number of conductive balls, or let Reed use his personal ability to stage some fairy plays.

It is worth mentioning that Bogut, who was beaten up, also started to ask for the ball in the second half, and he hit Magloire twice in a row with his back, which made Bogut gradually start to swell.

The look in Magloire's eyes gradually became complacent, and he even spouted trash talk wildly: "Didn't you play well in the first half? In the second half, I want to show you what cruelty is!"

"As long as I have the ball, I can score 50 points on you! Your defense is completely vulnerable in my opinion!"

Seeing Bogut start to look proud, Luke turned around and waved to Eddie Griffin: "Get ready to play, pay attention to the cameras and referees."

"Don't worry, coach, I can't wait!" Xiao ran to the sidelines, Eddie Griffin quickly took off his rest clothes, his eyes were full of banter and violence.

"dudu~"

As Eddie Griffin was replaced in the dead ball stage, Bogut subconsciously shook his head.

Who is Eddie Griffin? The entire league is very clear. This is a ruthless man who fights when he disagrees. Even Minnesota fans have regarded Eddie Griffin as the gold medalist of the Timberwolves.

This kind of person is simply a taboo for Bogut, who has always been bullying.

But Bogut thought about it and thought that he had never offended Griffin, so Bogut was not afraid that the other party would take the initiative to find fault. At worst, he would endure the trash talk. In short, he must not conflict with Griffin.

"Heh, trash, I don't know if you are ready to die or not."

"Or... why don't you just make life worse than death?" Eddie Griffin leaned into Bogut's ear and said jokingly just after his debut.

Griffin's words made Bogut's face turn black, but in the end Bogut endured it without any verbal retaliation, looking like a cowardly dog.

The game restarted, and Eddie Griffin kept making small moves in the matchup with Bogut. Either he deliberately elbowed Bogut in the abdomen when he was stuck, or he slapped Bogut in the face when he was grabbing a rebound.

Even Eddie Griffin will secretly swing the iron elbow during the pick-and-roll, which Eddie Griffin learned from Karl Malone last season.

It's just a pity that Malone swung his iron elbow by the way while playing, and Griffin swung his iron elbow by the way to play a ball!

Griffin's defensive action made the three referees frightened, fearing that the two teams would break out on the court. After all, Eddie Griffin has always been one of the most troublesome thorns in the league today.

Every time the Timberwolves have a conflict on the court, this guy's name has made the referees have to be more cautious.

In just 2 minutes, the referee called Griffin three consecutive defensive fouls, intending to completely eliminate Griffin's actions from the root cause.

In the face of the referee's whistleblowing, Griffin only complained a few times symbolically, but his face looked casual, as if he didn't care about these trivial things.

Just when the three referees thought that Griffin would start to restrain himself, in the next round Griffin directly elbowed Bogut to the ground while defending.

When the referee found out, Bogut was lying on the ground with his head in his arms. It seemed that the blow was not easy.

The slow-motion playback shows that Griffin hit Bogut directly on the head with an iron elbow, but this action looks like a joint action after Griffin scrambled for a rebound.

In the end, after discussion among the three referees, the referee decided to give Griffin a first-degree malicious foul, which was not expelled, but it was a vicious warning.

On the other end, Bogut gradually recovered and shook his head, signaling to the coach that he could continue the game.

In the next period of time, Griffin's defensive actions were restrained, which made the referee obviously relieved.

But before the referee was relieved, there was a sudden scream on the court.

Looking at the reputation, people found that Bogut was lying on the ground in pain this time, rolling around with his arms around his ankles. Obviously, the pain this time was much stronger than the last time!
In stark contrast to Bogut lying on the ground and rolling left and right is Eddie Griffin.

Seeing Bogut lying on the ground with his ankles hugged and howling, Griffin stepped over Bogut's head indifferently, and even turned around and spat at Bogut.

Walking back to the bench, Griffin squatted quietly on the sidelines, as if waiting for the referee's expulsion signal.

From Griffin's actions and emotions, it can be seen that facing the matter of expulsion, Griffin is so familiar that it makes people feel distressed!

At the same time, three referees came to the playback center to observe the foul through slow-motion playback.

Bogut mentioned that the high position does the pick-and-roll for Michael Reid, while Eddie Griffin stands relatively late. Bogut, who has no projection threat, does not need Griffin to be too tight.

But when Bogut finished the pick-and-roll and cut down, Griffin suddenly charged up and kicked Bogut hard on the left ankle while passing Bogut.

This time, Bogut was completely unprepared. From the video, it can be seen that Bogut's severely injured left ankle fractured instantly and was dislocated at 60°C.

Just watching the video of this scene makes people feel scalp numb, not to mention that the person involved is still howling in pain while clutching his ankle.

Bogut's left ankle was seriously injured, and Bogut's left ankle injury often recurred during college.

Bogut has undergone multiple surgeries on his left ankle before entering the NBA, and Luke knows that very well.

Bogut's most vulnerable area is the ankle, and attacking Bogut's left ankle is indeed Luke's suggestion.

But seeing Bogut's 60-degree twisted ankle injury, Luke subconsciously frowned.

The reason for frowning was not that Bogut was injured too badly, but that his disciple Eddie Griffin shot too hard.

Luke is worried that this guy will kill someone on the basketball court in the future. Judging from the ruthlessness of Eddie Griffin's shot, this chance is being infinitely magnified!

At this time, Luke felt for the first time whether he should find a psychiatrist for his disciple. Although he was cruel, Eddie Griffin had already reached the point where his mind was twisted, and he gradually began to move closer to the devil!
With the Bucks team doctor on the field, when the team doctor saw Bogut's ankle injury, he couldn't help but gasp.

Obviously did not expect Bogut's injury to be so serious!
For a rookie player, this level of ankle injury will definitely affect the rest of his career. Even if he recovers in the future, he will not be able to compare with the present.

Ankle injuries have always been a major problem for NBA players, and a center player like Bogut who suffered such a severe ankle injury basically means that Bogut's career is waving goodbye to success!

Strictly speaking, Eddie Griffin's move can no longer be said to be a malicious foul, because it is completely smashing people's jobs!
This made the Bucks doctor both terrified and angry.

Watching the Bucks doctor transport Bogut away from the game on a stretcher, there was a sudden booing from the scene, but the boos were not for Bogut, but Eddie Griffin, the devil!

Facing the boos of tens of thousands of fans, Griffin not only showed no pressure at all, but also looked at Luke with a smile on his face before leaving the field: "Coach, I wonder if you are satisfied with this gift?"

Eddie Griffin's gaze was very aggressive, but Luke just replied indifferently: "Go back and have a good rest."

As Eddie Griffin was ejected by the referee, Lambiel, who had been standing beside him frowning and silent, suddenly said: "Will this matter be a little troublesome?"

Staring at the court, Luke's eyes flashed coldness: "Whoever wants to cause trouble for me, I will let him know what real trouble is!"

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you, third child!
