Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 241 241. Bogut, who was reimbursed for the season, will pay the price for being cheap!Kwiak wondered.

On February 2, the last game in February, the Grizzlies will sit at home to meet the challenge of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Luke has been looking forward to this game for a long time. Ever since he learned from Yao Ming that Bogut had been taunting Yi Jianlian in the locker room, Luke remembered that Bogut, this useless dog, is still jumping happily, as if he forgot the past. The fear of being dominated by the Timberwolves for several years.

After coaching the Grizzlies, Luke has seldom caused troubles like the previous two seasons. It is not difficult to see from the Grizzlies' team building ideas during the offseason that the current Grizzlies except for Gerald Wallace , Not a single player is good at fighting.

The only Milicic who has practiced boxing is not fierce enough, and his soft personality makes him seem easy to bully.

Although Milicic's character has undergone some changes under the training of Bill Lambert after the Grizzlies came, and he no longer appears submissive as before, but it has nothing to do with the word fierce.

If it is said that Luke had several "professional thugs" under his command during the Timberwolves period, then Luke seems to have stopped this season.

As of now, it has not been heard of which team Luke has clashed with on the court.

Of course, all of this is also due to Luke's great reputation in the league in the past two years.

Everyone knows that Luke is a ruthless character, and none of these guys who are against Luke has ended up in a good way.

In the entire alliance, no matter whether it is a rookie who has just arrived or a veteran who has been playing for more than ten years, no group is willing to provoke Luke.

Even though the Grizzlies have been playing seriously this season and have not heard of a conflict with any team for a long time, the coach will still explain to all teams to be calm before playing against the Grizzlies.

Because the head coach of this team is called Luke, and he is a complete lunatic.

Luke has never bothered to use dirty means to attack the championship. Looking back at all the previous battles, big and small, basically the opponent took the initiative to provoke Luke, and Luke fought back in a more brutal way.

However, Bogut is obviously not on Luke's protection list. For Luke, saying that Bogut is a dirt dog has tarnished the dirt dog group.

When he first entered the league, Bogut was reimbursed for the season by Luke who coached the Timberwolves.

After his comeback, Bogut did take a lot of care on the field, but his stinky mouth still hasn't grown.

The Bucks selected Chinese player Yi Jianlian with the seventh pick in the first round this year. Although Yi Jianlian is [-] meters tall, which is the same height as Bogut, but because his physical confrontation has yet to be developed, Yi Jianlian can only play as a power forward. .

In addition, Bogut is the No. [-] pick after all, no matter from which point of view, Yi Jianlian can not pose a threat to Bogut.

But in private, Bogut often ridiculed Yi Jianlian in the locker room. The insulting words like yellow monkey made Yi Jianlian very aggrieved.

Since he just joined the Bucks this year, and he is not familiar with the place in the United States, Yi Jianlian can only complain to Yao Ming, who also plays in the NBA.

On weekdays, the cynicism towards Bogut is ignored as much as possible. After all, once there is a conflict with Bogut, Yi Jianlian will only be unable to move an inch in the Bucks.

The bogut dog can't change the stinky mouth that eats shit, making Luke wonder if he has been too low-key in the past two years, and his deterrence in the alliance has begun to decline.

Originally, if Bogut was a low-key person, Luke would have almost left this dog behind, but now that Bogut is getting more and more restless, Luke doesn't mind letting him usher in the second season of his career reimbursement!

This season is Bogut's third season in the league, and his average of 14 points and 10 rebounds per game is still not much improved.

Although this performance is not enough to be called a parallel import by the fans, if compared with Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Danny Granger behind him, Bogut, the No. [-] pick, has been discussed a lot.

Even compared with the same center Bynum and Gortat, Bogut is obviously slightly inferior, which makes the Bucks management somewhat depressed.

Not long ago in the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Bogut was beaten by Lakers center Gortat with one hand.

In the whole game, Gortat not only beat Bogut to six fouls and left the field, but also scored 28 points and 14 rebounds in the penalty area, embarrassing Bogut, the No. [-] pick, as a second-round pick.

So far, the only honor Bogut has won in his career is that he was selected to the second team of the best rookie. As the No. [-] pick, he could not even be selected for the first team of rookies.

Fortunately, Luke likes to help others. Since Bogut is currently suffering so much criticism in Milwaukee, Luke simply sent him to a luxury hospital for a season, so that he can't even find an excuse for his poor performance.

.........

Before the start of the game, Bogut, who was warming up on the sidelines for shooting, only felt the cold wind blowing from the back of his neck, and always felt that something was staring at him, which made Bogut uncomfortable.

After turning his head along with this strange feeling, Bogut found that the Grizzly looked at him in a strange way.

Especially that guy Gerald Wallace, I don't know if it's an illusion, but Bogut always feels that there is a hint of mischief in Wallace's eyes.

To make matters worse, when Bogut saw the cold expression on Luke's face, his heart immediately turned half cold. After all, Luke is a nightmare for Bogut's career.

Until now, Bogut still remembers the scene when he was reimbursed for the season. The pain made Bogut really not want to recall.

"Damn it, I don't seem to have offended this lunatic recently, right? Why do you look at me like this?" Swallowing with difficulty, Bogut found that his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"That guy Andrew messed with you again?" Lambiel stood on the sidelines and looked at Luke gloatingly, "This kid is really unlucky. He has been in the league for three years, but he was targeted by you twice. I don't know how he was in the last life." What crime did you do?"

"Some people just seem to annoy me." Luke said indifferently.

"Hey, this unlucky boy, it seems that there is another good show today." Lambiel, who didn't understand the cause and effect, only felt that Bogut was really unlucky, but Lambiel had no sympathy for it.

After all, he has been with Luke for two years, and Lambiel knows better than anyone that although Luke is fierce, he has never been a master who deliberately finds fault.

Since Bogut can be targeted by Luke twice in a row, it is enough to mean that Bogut is not a good guy.

After the start of the game, the two sides still continued their regular starts. Due to the huge gap between the Grizzlies and the Bucks, one of the two teams is currently the number one in the league, and the other is the third from the bottom in the East. In terms of strength, they are not at all. a notch.

For fans, the biggest highlight of this game has never been winning or losing, but the personal performance of the Grizzlies players.

It can be seen that the Bucks still want to win this game. It seems that they want to use an upset to motivate the young players in the team.

However, only Michael Reed and Mo Williams can really score for the Bucks this season. Then the Bucks can only get caught in the game.

I don't know if it is the illusion of the fans, but the fans always feel that the Grizzlies seem to be targeting Andrew Bogut intentionally or unintentionally.

On the offensive end, the Grizzlies forced Bogut out of the penalty area through a large number of cross-screens, and then no matter who played against Bogut, they played very resolutely, which made Bogut very uncomfortable on the defensive end, and was even sieved by the Grizzlies.

What's more obvious is that when Bogut received a pass on the offensive end, the Grizzlies decisively double-teamed Bogut.

You know, Bogut averaged only 14 points per game this season. Compared to Michael Reid and Mo Williams, Bogut is simply a younger brother.

The defensive end double-teamed Bogut?

This is simply blatant targeting!
What broke Bogut the most was that whenever Gerald Wallace double-teamed himself, this guy would always secretly hit him in the stomach with an iron elbow.

Although his hand movements are not big, he can't hold back every time he double-teams Gerald Wallace. As the number of offensive rounds increases, Bogut only feels his abdomen rolling a little, and he can't help but want to vomit several times. A mouthful of old blood.

Until another offensive round, after the pick-and-roll, Bogut cut down and received a pass from Mo Williams. Before taking off, Bogut felt his abdomen was hit again, and this time the force was much stronger Before that, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of sour water from the air.

"beep!"

The whistle of the baseline referee sounded, and the referee whistled Gerald Wallace for a defensive foul, but at this time Bogut was already clutching his abdomen and rolling back and forth on the ground, not thinking about anything else at all.

Bogut felt as if ten thousand mud horses were galloping through his heart. If it wasn't for the pain and he couldn't open his mouth, Bogut really wanted to shout, "Tell me! What did I do wrong!"

Seeing Bogut lying on the ground clutching his abdomen, "Slam Dunk King" Mason rushed up immediately. As a villain who had hugged Yao Ming before, it became Mason's subconscious reaction to rush forward to stand up for his teammates.

But when Gerald Wallace turned around with a disdainful expression on his face, Mason, who was still in a hurry, suddenly froze for a moment.

Then, as if thinking of something, he turned his eyes to Luke who had the same cold expression on the scene. Mason only felt that his hands and feet were a little cold, and he stopped for the first time, standing still and walking, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Mason's sprinting action made Gerald Wallace think that this guy seemed to want to fight with him, so he immediately showed a fierce expression, and said to Mason in a low voice, "Want to fight?"

Gerald Wallace is not a gentleman in the first place, and in the past two years in the Timberwolves, Wallace's teammates are like Ben Wallace, Artest, Trenton Hassell and Eddie Griffin. Kind of violent.

When Wallace's expression became fierce, Mason's head immediately burst into cold sweat.

Of course, what really scares Mason is not Gerald Wallace, but the big man standing behind Wallace, the nightmare of all NBA thorns.

Unless someone can't think about it and wants to end his career early, no player is willing to challenge Luke's bottom line.

As for standing up for Bogut?

Just kidding, who is Bogut? !

Gerald's ready appearance made Mason a little at a loss, especially since he ran over from the baseline in a hurry, and it looked like he was looking for someone to fight.

Suddenly, Mason had an idea, looked at Gerald Wallace in front of him and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, you hit hard, don't hurt your body."

Mason's answer not only stunned Gerald Wallace in front of him, but even the Bucks players next to him were stunned.

"Ok?"

Wallace knocked Bogut to the ground. As a result, Mason, a teammate, not only didn't care about Bogut, but ran forward immediately to ask if Wallace had crashed?

Wallace was already ready to fight Mason, but Mason's answer left Wallace momentarily at a loss as to how to answer.

"........."

After lying on the ground for a long time, Bogut felt that he was alive again. Although the feeling of rolling up and down in his stomach had not dissipated, it was much better than before.

After getting up, Bogut looked angrily at Wallace not far away, but when Wallace showed a more ferocious expression, Bogut immediately shrank his neck, pretending not to see, and walked to the free throw The position of the line prepares for the free throw.

"It's a lunatic! It's so damn unlucky!"

Unable to restrain himself from cursing in a low voice, Bogut has never figured out how he offended the Grizzlies, or how he offended Luke.

Counting this time, this is the second time I have been "discriminated" by Luke. Bogut doesn't know how many times he can withstand such an elbow, but the basketball in his hand has become a timed attack in Bogut's eyes. bomb.

If possible, Bogut really hopes that his teammates can treat himself as air, and stop passing the damn basketball to himself!
Returning to the game, the referee only called an ordinary foul for Wallace's foul just now, and it did not rise to a malicious foul.

In order to avoid being too closely watched by the referee, the Grizzlies began to relax their defense against Bogut for a while, which made Bogut seriously doubt whether it was his "tough guy temperament" that moved Luke, so the Grizzlies and the others did it. Conscience found out, and finally started to play well.

This idea in his heart made Bogut more active on the court. Every time he grabbed a rebound, he was as excited as a chicken blood, as if he wanted to show his "tough guy physique" to the outside world in this way.

But before Bogut was excited for too long, Bogut let out a scream after a rebound.

Lying on the ground, clutching his left ankle and rolling back and forth, the tragic shouts made people feel shuddering, and one can know without thinking that Bogut must be suffering from very painful pain at this time.

Hearing Bogut's miserable cry, the referee immediately stopped the game. Although he didn't know what happened just now, it didn't look like Bogut was pretending. After all, the painful cry made the referee startle Goosebumps all over.

Through the video playback, it was found that in the rebound just now, Bogut stepped on Gerald Wallace's instep with his left foot after landing, which caused Bogut's left ankle to twist 90 degrees. It makes the scalp tingle.

There is a kind of pain that makes it painful to look at. Seeing the scene of Bogut being injured, the referee subconsciously looked at Bogut's left foot.

Although the joints have been tightly covered by Bogut, it can still be vaguely seen from both sides that Bogut's ankle is in a distorted state. It seems that the bones and joints are dislocated. It can be called the most terrifying injury after crooked feet. .

Continuous replays showed that there were as many as four players competing for rebounds under the basket at the time, and Gerald Wallace's actions did not seem to be intentional, but he stood on Bogut's foothold ahead of time while moving. It seems that this injury is more like a coincidence.

While the three referees were still discussing on the sidelines, the Bucks team doctor had begun to carry Bogut's head onto a stretcher.

He couldn't even walk out of the stadium by himself. Bogut's injury made the fans gasp. If nothing else, Bogut is destined to be reimbursed this season.

The ankle is twisted at 90 degrees. If this kind of injury cannot achieve perfect bone restoration during the rehabilitation process, it will be a devastating blow to the player's career.

After all, there have been countless cases of swelling and pain in the wound after returning from a fracture. What happened to Bogut made the fans feel worried, but Luke, who was standing on the sidelines, looked indifferent and looked at Bogut who was carried out on a stretcher. It's like watching a dead.dog.

There was not only no sympathy in the eyes, but also a hint of contempt.

As a coach, the defensive action that Luke hates the most is stepping. Otherwise, Luke would not have made Bruce Bowen so miserable. Until this season, the ankle injury has repeatedly recurred, and he is only one step away from retiring in situ.

Compared with fighting directly on the court, stepping is undoubtedly a dirty and disgusting behavior.

But let’s not talk about stepping in on Bogut, no matter how dirty it is, it’s a kind of kindness. If possible, Luke hopes that the method will be more cruel, and try to let Bogut retire on the spot and stay away from now on. The pure land of basketball.

However, except for Gerald Wallace, the Grizzlies are all gentlemen or righteous people. This kind of dirty work can only be done by Gerald Wallace.

With Bogut leaving the game with an ankle injury, the referees added a common foul on Gerald Wallace through video replays, defining the injury as an accident.

Although Bogut's bad mouth is not very pleasing in the locker room, Bogut's injury still makes the Bucks players feel uncomfortable.

This discomfort mainly comes from Grizzlies coach Luke. Everyone can see that Luke has been targeting Bogut in this game.

As a result, before the first quarter was finished, Bogut was carried out of the court on a stretcher due to an ankle injury, which made it difficult for the Bucks players not to think about it.

However, Bogut's accidental injury made many Bucks players feel comfortable. After all, Bogut's stinky mouth is really disgusting. If it weren't for his status as the No. [-] pick, Bogut would have been beaten to death long ago.

Bullying rookies, asking rookie players to help wash their feet, licking the United States, and always licking dogs in front of head coach Chris Kowiak, these disgusting operations are Andrew Bogut's favorite things to do.

After Bogut was injured, head coach Chris Kowiak broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he offended Luke somewhere, which caused Bogut to be retaliated by the Grizzlies.

Looking at Luke who was sitting on the sidelines with a cold face, Kwiak couldn't help but want to ask him several times. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Kwiak would have found Luke to ask him.

Now that the business is done, the Grizzlies don't need to hide anything during the game. Luke simply let the team go all out and send the game into garbage time ahead of schedule.

After all, only in garbage time can Yi Jianlian get more shots and tactical status.

In the end, the whole game ended. While the Grizzlies intentionally released water in the second half, they still beat the Bucks by 29 points. While continuing to stabilize themselves as the number one in the league, they also gave the Bucks a six-game losing streak this season.

After the game, Bucks coach Kwiak found Luke immediately.

Facing Luke, Kwiak put his posture very low, and while observing Luke's face, he asked cautiously, "Well, Lu, I shouldn't have offended you at all. Please tell me, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us."

Kwiak was originally just an assistant coach of the Bucks. This year is still the first season of Kwiak's coaching career. As a result, he didn't know where he offended Luke in the first year as the head coach, which made Kwiak a little nervous.

Let's not talk about Luke's status as the coach of the Triple Crown, just talk about Luke's behavior in the league.

No coach is willing to provoke Luke, a lunatic. After all, the number of coaches dismissed by Luke is almost in single digits. This is really a terrifying and chilling record.

The worst thing is that most of the coaches who were dismissed by Luke are currently out of work, including senior head coach Jeff Van Gundy, who have to find another job, give up the coaching industry, and start working as a commentator.

Because no team wants to offend Luke in order to sign a coach, which will lead to being targeted by Luke. It is not cost-effective to sign a fired coach at the risk of injury to the main players.

Unless the coach is at the level of "Zen Master" Jackson or Old Nelson, each team can still consider it.

But having said that, at Jackson's level, the chance of being fired by the team is very low. At least after that day, these old coaches can consider retiring.

"There is no misunderstanding." Luke patted Kwiak on the shoulder and added thoughtfully, "Yi is an outstanding potential player. His shooting ability is rare among interior players. You can Consider increasing Yi's playing time, it could be a surprise."

Seeing Luke who turned and left, Kwiak stood in a daze, until Luke had walked a long way, Kwiak nodded dully, "Lu actually told me that Yi is an outstanding potential Player, so this is calling me?"
