Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 266 266. Bruce Bowen was hugged and punched, and the corners of his eyes exploded! "I hate people calling me a fool"!
"Coach! As long as you speak, I will definitely slap that guy Eddie Jordan on the opening day." Artest looked at Luke viciously on the training ground.

For the Spurs coach Eddie Jordan's big talk before the opening game, Artest also heard a little.

In Artest's cognition, he doesn't want to think about things that are too complicated. He only knows that he and the coach are not good people.

As long as the coach speaks, he will definitely beat Eddie Jordan to the ground.

"Don't be so irritable, Ron, he obviously lacks confidence and wants to use this method to embolden himself."

"If we played with anger in the opening game, but fell into the trap of the opponent, we may be stolen by the opponent."

"We just need to win this game honestly, which is naturally more proud than any response." Patting Artest on the shoulder, D'Antoni said with a smile on his face.

D'Antoni is quite familiar with Eddie Jordan. After all, the NBA is only that big, and there are not many coaches who have worked hard on offensive tactics.

To be honest, Eddie Jordan's use of point guards is similar to that of D'Antoni.

It's just that D'Antoni's coaching ability is better than Eddie Jordan's, and his understanding of small ball tactics is more than two blocks away from Eddie Jordan.

D'Antoni's character has always been like this. Facing the provocations of others, D'Antoni always wants to respond on the court instead of solving problems with violence.

This kind of relatively rational thinking is naturally very beneficial, but it is also the weakness that limits D'Antoni's team to win the championship.

"I don't care. If the opponent doesn't play well in the game, I will definitely let the opponent taste the fist." Artest showed off his fist with a fierce face.

Seeing Artest's look that violence can solve everything, D'Antoni shook his head helplessly, and turned his gaze to Luke.

"Ron's appearance makes me a little worried. I'm really afraid that he will be suspended on a large scale before the playoffs start. This is a hidden danger for the team to win the championship."

Sitting off the court and drinking coffee leisurely, Luke just smiled lightly at D'Antoni's reminder, "I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Sometimes, violence can indeed solve many problems."

"???"

Ignoring D'Antoni's incomprehensible look, Luke stood up and patted the folds of his suit, "If a dog bites you, you will naturally not bite a dog, but sometimes hitting a dog is more interesting than avoiding it .”

…………

On October 10, local time in the United States, the NBA opener officially kicked off.

The opening game of the San Antonio Spurs' away game against the defending champion Grizzlies is even more popular than the confrontation between the two giants, the Lakers and the Celtics.

Although San Antonio and Memphis are only small ball markets, the strength of both teams is at the top of the league.

Especially the Grizzlies led by "Four Champions" Luke are the biggest favorites to win this year.

Before the start of the new season, the Grizzlies were the unavoidable topic of all discussions about the ownership of the championship in the new season.

As the defending champion, the attention of the Grizzlies is already amazing, coupled with a series of operations of the Grizzlies during the offseason, this undoubtedly makes the Grizzlies the most popular team in the new season.

The opening game of the 08-09 season will be played at the Grizzlies' home stadium, FedEx Arena.

Before the game started, the entire arena was filled with black crowds, and as far as the eye could see, there were Grizzlies fans in black T-shirts all around.

There were only a few fans belonging to the Spurs, and they were caught in the middle of the overwhelming Grizzlies fans. It made people afraid that they would be beaten up by the surrounding crowd just because they shouted loudly at a certain stage.

Before the game, Spurs coach Eddie Jordan was still very confident in an interview, "The Spurs are a very good team, with the league's top stars and the most sticky fans here."

"There is no reason for the Spurs to fail in the new season. The Grizzlies are indeed a very strong team, but the Spurs must be the one who has the last laugh."

Compared with the calmness and arrogance of the team's new coach Eddie Jordan, the troika ruled by the Grizzlies for many years is much more low-key.

Even Tony Parker, who is the most talkative on weekdays, refused the pre-match interview, lowered his head and warmed up with Duncan, Ginobili and others, and resolutely refused to give the Grizzlies any chance to face.

Popovich's dismissal made Tony Parker understand that sometimes talking too much is not a good thing, blindly slapping the face can only hurt him in the end.

And the team's new coach Eddie Jordan has been very rampant since the start of the season. Parker just curled his lips in disdain for this, and didn't want to talk to Eddie Jordan, a fool at all.

Although Eddie Jordan is an offensive coach who is good at using point guards, the Spurs don't like the new coach.

Especially when he supervised the players during training, he looked like he was the boss and his second child, which made Tony Parker feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Eddie Jordan, who just joined the team, always wanted to establish his own majesty during training. He treated the Spurs players very seriously on weekdays, which made the Spurs players quite dissatisfied.

If Eddie Jordan can really be beaten into doubt by Luke, Parker will most likely set off two firecrackers to celebrate.

The only one in the entire Spurs who gets along with Eddie Jordan is Bruce Bowen, both of whom are vicious-mouthed masters on weekdays.

As for Bruce Bowen's dirty defensive methods, Eddie Jordan admired him even more, and he also publicly praised that there are fewer and fewer players in the league who dare to fight like Bruce Bowen, which attracted Tim Duncan, who has never been talkative. It's all a little embarrassing.

Together, these two people can be said to have used the word congenial to the extreme.

In this game, the Spurs' starting lineup is Parker, Mason, Bowen, Matt Bonner, and Duncan.

As a pure offensive coach who abandons defense, Matt Bonner, an inside player with excellent shooting ability, is undoubtedly reused by Eddie Jordan.

Under Popovich, Matt Bonner didn't get much time, but with the arrival of Eddie Jordan, Matt Bonner can be said to have turned around and directly secured the position of the team's starting power forward.

It's just the poor 32-year-old Duncan. When the team's center has never been reinforced, Duncan can only play as a guest center non-stop. It is really hard to be a father and a mother on the court.

This season is good. Duncan is no longer a guest center, but is forced to be placed at the center by Eddie Jordan. It can be said that he is forced to the extreme.

As for the Grizzlies' starting lineup, it is the same as predicted by the outside world, Paul, Martin, Artest, Paul Gasol and Gasol Jr.

While the Grizzlies' starting lineup is both offensive and defensive, it also has the league's best series master and one of the league's best scorers.

Judging from the role of each other alone, there are basically no defects in the Grizzlies' starting lineup.

As soon as the game came up, Gasol Jr. helped the Grizzlies get the ball first.

Facing Matt Bonner's defense, Gasol sat down strongly at the beginning of the game and reached out to Paul on the outside for the ball.

Although the two shots on the outside are the main offensive point of the Grizzlies, Pau Gasol, who has a very high golf quotient, knows very well that he has a very large advantage in this set of matchups against Matt Bonner's defense.

Reading the game is something Luke has been emphasizing, and what Pau Gasol is currently doing is the most correct choice.

Facing Matt Bonner, whose defensive efficiency is below the league average, Gasol first turned over the right side for a jumper, and then used his strength to easily put the ball in the basket before Tim Duncan helped defend him.

Seeing that Pau Gasol ate Matt Bonner twice in a row at the beginning of the game, Eddie Jordan's face darkened in an instant, and he kept yelling at Bonner, which attracted Matt Bonner's attention. dissatisfied.

On the offensive end, Matt Bonner has excellent three-point ability and can open up enough space for Tony Parker to break through.

But the Grizzlies couldn't stand it and didn't give Matt Bonner an open shot at all. As the best team in the league to shoot three-pointers, the Grizzlies know exactly what kind of threat three-pointers can bring on the court.

Pau Gasol would rather Tim Duncan play Marc Gasol one-on-one in the low post, and he would never give Bonner any open shots.

The defensive choices of the Grizzlies made Matt Bonner a little depressed, and his sense of offensive presence instantly dropped to zero. Even though there was enough space for Tony Parker to break through, Parker's defense against Paul was still not dominant. Use the pick-and-roll to attempt shots from the mid-range position.

Seeing Paul Gasol eat Bonner raw on the offensive end, Eddie Jordan had to call a timeout in just over three minutes of the game, and then replaced Kurt Thomas, who was better defensively, to partner with Duncan inside.

During the timeout, Luke glanced at Eddie Jordan, who was roaring like a mad dog, walked up to Artest and patted him on the shoulder, "Protect your teammates on the field."

After receiving the coach's instruction, Artest patted his chest hard, "Don't worry coach, with me here, no one can hurt my teammates!"

After returning from a timeout, seeing Pau Gasol's dominant point disappear, Kevin Martin on the outside line stood up, although Bruce Bowen was still responsible for defending Kevin Martin in this game, the best player on the outside line of the Spurs.

But the 37-year-old Bowen's foot movement speed has long been slowed down. Facing Kevin Martin's elusive offensive methods, Bowen quickly became overwhelmed.

He could only watch Martin attacking the inside line again and again in front of him, standing behind and even drawing fouls, unable to stop him.

Martin's sharp personal breakthrough made Bruce Bowen a little annoyed, "You can only hide and hide, you have the guts to score in front of me!"

"I think you are a soft-legged shrimp without guts. Even if you see your girlfriend cheating, you should still hide like this. It's disgusting!"

Ignore Bruce Bowen's incompetent rage, similar to this kind of trash talk, Martin has heard too much in the playoffs last year, and now he has long been immune.

However, Bowen obviously didn't understand the situation. The difference between the Grizzlies and last season is that the team has an extra bad-tempered Artest.

Hearing the trash talk that Bruce Bowen spewed at Martin, Artest squeezed over from the side and stood in front of Martin, "You have the guts to say it again in front of me!"

Looking up at Artest's strong tendons, Bowen looked down at his body that was getting thinner due to age, and couldn't help swallowing, but he didn't show any weakness on his mouth. "You idiot who only likes violence, I don't want to talk to you!"

Bowen's voice was so low that Artest couldn't hear clearly what the guy was muttering when he stood in front of him.

However, from Bruce Bowen's disgusted expression, one can still guess that what this guy said just now was definitely not a good thing.

Before Bruce Bowen turned around and left, Artest rushed up and stood in front of Bruce Bowen.

"Did you put your coach's dick in your mouth, and your voice is so low."

Artest's aggressive look made Bowen's face a little ugly, "Go away, you idiot!"

Reaching out to push away Artest in front of him, Bowen immediately walked to the side of his teammates. His intuition told him that it would be very dangerous to entangle with Artest.

But Bruce Bowen obviously underestimated Artest's temper, and was pushed forward by Bowen, and also called himself a fool, and Artest's anger instantly rose to the top of his head.

Seeing Bowen who turned around and left after scolding, Artest suddenly accelerated and rushed behind Bowen, and then his two arms tightly clamped Bowen's waist, lifting him up in the air was like a hug!
"Bang!"

This scene happened so suddenly on the court. Before everyone could react, Artest, who hugged Bowen hard and threw him to the ground, bent down and directly raised his fist.

"I hate people calling me a fool! Today I will smash your stinking mouth!"

Artest punched Bowen's mouth so hard that Bowen, who had just experienced a hug and fall, was powerless to stop him. He could only lie on the ground with his head in his hands, screaming loudly.

"Crazy! You... mother is a lunatic!"

"what!!"

Before Bowen could continue to utter insults, Artest's strong and powerful fist made Bowen utter a series of screams.

The whole scene was so bloody that people couldn't believe it was an NBA game. Those who didn't know it thought it was a life-and-death ring.

Bowen's heart-piercing roar made other people on the scene react, and they rushed to Artest immediately, and hurriedly separated the two.

Tony Parker, who was far away on the other side of the field, just looked up and saw Bowen lying on the ground being punched in the face by Artest, Parker hurriedly turned his head and pretended not to see, "It's a crime. "

As the Grizzlies pulled Artest away with all their strength, Bowen lying on the ground had been beaten into a gourd of blood. The corners of his eyes were exploded, and the mouth that was bleeding continuously and the braces were lost, let Bowen see It looks a little miserable.

The bloody scene on the field even made the commentator Charles Barkley unresponsive.

"Bruce is spraying trash at Kevin again. This action is a bit dangerous to do now, and it is very likely to trigger the smell of gunpowder between the two sides on the court."

"Sure enough, this guy Ron stood up immediately and stood up for his teammates. This guy Bruce has always been unable to control his mouth."

"It seems that the two of them had some quarrels. Bruce turned his head and left. He was obviously very sensible. Otherwise, Bruce would definitely not be Ron's opponent if he really fought."

"Ok?"

"What is Ron going to do!"

"Ron rushed up and hugged Bruce from behind!"

"Ron actually gave Bruce a hug?!"
