Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 285 285. Limit one for two!Beat Marbury!Name it "Grizzly Offensive"!The plan to trade Kapono!

With Pierce screaming in mid-air, the players on the field only heard a beast-like roar coming from Artest's mouth.

When the player turned his head and looked towards Pierce, he saw Pierce lying on the ground in pain, clutching the position of his left rib bone, as if that position had suffered a relatively serious trauma.

Artest, on the other hand, stood aside with a fierce face, looked at Pierce lying on the ground and howling in pain, and even planned to run over to make up for two punches.

This scene on the field happened so suddenly that everyone had no time to react.

Just when some players were still dazed and didn't know what happened on the field, Marbury on the Celtics side quickly rushed out and shook his fist in Artest's direction.

"Looking for death! You savage fool! I have endured you for a long time!"

Marbury punched Artest in the face from the side while Artest had no time to react.

Marbury used all his strength in this punch, and even Artest felt a pain in his physique.

After reacting, Artest only felt bursts of sharp pain from his left cheek. Accompanied by the burning pain, Artest's anger was instantly raised to the extreme.

Turning his head to look at the "lone wolf" Marbury, who is much thinner than himself, Artest once again roared: "You bastard! Broken! I will tear you apart with my own hands!"

When the three referees on the sidelines reacted, they only saw Artest and "Lone Wolf" Marbury fighting together.

To be precise, it should be Artest who swooped and locked Marbury under him, and then beat Marbury unilaterally.

Although the physical disadvantage caused Marbury to be ravaged by Artest, Marbury's mouth was always unwilling to admit defeat.

Even if he was pinned to the ground by Artest, Marbury uttered insults crazily, which made the hot-tempered Artest even angrier.

"I'm going to smash your stinky mouth!"

"How dare you sneak attack me! You bastard! Go...die!"

As more and more people flocked to Artest's side, Artest, who held Marbury off the court, didn't stop at all, and beat Marbury's bald head violently.

Even though there were no less than five players pulling Artest back together, the power that Artest erupted was too violent.

Garnett has torn Artest's jersey behind him, but Artest is still unwilling to give up beating Marbury.

"Calm down! Ron! Calm down!"

Until Chris Paul hugged Artest's waist tightly and pushed Artest to the bench behind him, Artest, who was still angry, pointed at Marbury's nose and cursed, "Don't let me meet you again next time! Otherwise, I will definitely break your bones with my own hands!"

Marbury's sneak attack hit Artest's face hard, making Artest's entire left cheek flushed, and even the eyeball was a little bloodshot.

However, compared to Artest's injury, Marbury, who was beaten by Artest, was more seriously injured.

When the crowd tried a lot to pull Artest away, they saw that Marbury was lying on the ground with blood on his face from the beating. Only a gap remains.

Marbury looked a bit miserable, but the fans at the scene did not have the slightest sympathy for what happened to Marbury.

Not to mention that this is the home court of the Grizzlies, all fans will definitely stand on Artest's side unconditionally. Just talking about Marbury's attack on Artest with a punch made the fans feel Marbury's It's not wrong to fight at all.

Even though Marbury was standing up for teammate Paul Pierce, Marbury obviously overestimated his combat effectiveness, and even underestimated the gap between himself and Artest.

When Artest and Marbury were separated on the court, everyone remembered Paul Pierce who was knocked out by Artest at the beginning.

I saw Pierce lying on the ground holding his left rib and showing pain, but when Marbury and Artest broke out in a physical conflict, and everyone on the field rushed there, Pierce alone Sitting alone in the middle of the venue seemed a bit out of place.

Especially when Paul Pierce saw that his teammate Stephen Marbury, who stood up for him, was also beaten up by Artest, Pierce only felt that the position of his left rib bone became more painful.

He tried several times to stand up and go to help, but seeing Artest's ferocious face, and seeing himself struggling to stand, Pierce sat back very calmly.

Watching Marbury being beaten up by Artest under his nose, while he and Marbury were lying on both sides of the field, beaten by Artest alone , this scene looks really sad.

"Damn it! How are you, Paul!"

On the bench, Eddie House rushed into the court for the first time. While trying to help Paul Pierce up, he looked at Artest who was pushed out of the court with strong anger in his eyes.

Reaching out to stop Eddie House from lifting himself up, Paul Pierce clenched his teeth tightly, "Don't move! Let me keep this position!"

At this time, two Celtics players were injured on the field, which made the Boston team doctor who came to the away game with the team a little busy.

Obviously, he didn't expect that he would have to work overtime on the day of the Christmas battle!

When the team doctor checked Paul Pierce's injury, he waved and called the staff to carry Paul Pierce out of the field on a stretcher.

As for Stephen Marbury, he walked towards the player tunnel with the support of the team doctor. When passing by the Grizzlies bench, Marbury raised his head and cursed in Artest's direction, "You brainless trash!"

Marbury's actions made Artest, who had just been appeased, almost go berserk again. If Lambir on the side hadn't hurriedly grabbed this guy, Artest would have rushed forward.

Maybe even the two team doctors in Boston were taken to the hospital together.

"Calm down! Ron! Control your emotions! If you rush forward at this time, it will only make the situation worse!" Lambiel firmly grasped Artest's arm, and opened his mouth to shout at Artest.

Although Marbury's provocation before leaving the field made Lambiel want to go up and give him two punches, but at this time Artest had already caused some trouble, and Marbury was accompanied by two team doctors.

If Artest was angry and wanted to knock down several people to the ground together, that would be the really difficult thing to solve.

Brawls between players will be banned by the league for a few games at most after the game, but if they beat team staff, the nature becomes different.

As the on-site referee checked the cause of the brawl just now through the replay center, the scene of Artest beating Marbury was also played on the big screen.

After replaying the video, the fans discovered that when Artest had a physical conflict with Marbury, Celtics star Kevin Garnett shouted the most joyfully, but the movement of his hand was the slowest. Plan to fight Artest recklessly.

Garnett's wit made many fans ridicule. This is what a star should look like. He remained so calm in the face of the fight on the field. He found the safest position behind Artest. Tester was a man who was a teammate!

In the end, Artest, who was already sitting on the sidelines and preparing to return to the locker room, was ejected by the referee for the second time this season as expected, and is likely to be suspended by the league again after the game.

But for Artest's impulse, the Grizzlies coaching staff did not complain at all.

After all, Paul Pierce's bad mouth has long made the Grizzlies feel uncomfortable. Artest's brutal charge against Paul Pierce seems a bit reckless, but more dissatisfaction with Paul Pierce has accumulated before.

As Artest was ejected by the referee, Celtics coach Sam Mitchell stood on the sidelines and his face was still black as hell.

Although Artest was expelled because of a fight, the Celtics lost two consecutive stars in this incident, including the team's top scorer Paul Pierce.

And according to the conclusion given by the team doctor, Pierce suffered two fractured ribs on the left side, which not only made Pierce miss today's Christmas game, but also had to lie on the hospital bed for a period of time to recuperate.

You know, Paul Pierce is the only Celtics star who averaged 20 points per game this season. As the Celtics' well-deserved offensive core, Pierce's absence is definitely an immeasurable loss.

To make matters worse, in the absence of Paul Pierce due to injury, perimeter star Stephon Marbury was also ejected by the referee for fighting.

And there is a high probability that Artest will be banned by the league after the game.

This season, the Celtics' offensive scoring at critical moments was completed by Pierce and Marbury.

After all, these two players are very good offensive players with the ball. In contrast, Ray Allen is more inclined to off the ball.

Since the ankle injury, Ray Allen's explosive power has not been as good as before, at least it is far from being able to replace the value of Pierce and Marbury.

Seeing that Pierce and Marbury could not continue to play, the Celtics only had Ray Allen, Garnett and O'Neal to support the scene.

But among these three players, Garnett and O'Neal's scoring ability has been greatly reduced due to injuries and age respectively. The average of only about 13 points per game has no ability to kill the game at all.

Ray Allen, the only one with decent scoring ability, will definitely become the focus of the Grizzlies' defensive end.

If the Celtics want to win the Christmas game, which is already behind by double digits under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a bit of a dream.

As for another "alien" Cassel on the bench who has the ability to attack with the ball, due to the decline in state brought about by the increase in age this season, the average personal data per game has long dropped to single digits.

Facing Chris Paul, who has a very fast breakthrough speed, Cassel has absolutely no other way to go except to be blown up.

Even if Stephen Marbury leaves the field, the Celtics have no one available at point guard, and Mitchell does not dare to put the "alien" Cassel on the field for too long.

Cassel's defensive pace is too slow, and staying on the court for a long time will become a defensive black hole for the Celtics to be burst inside by Chris Paul.

Artest replaced the two Celtics stars and left the field alone. This was something that no one could have imagined before the start of the game.

Even the Grizzlies coaching staff didn't expect a conflict to break out on the field, and at the end of the conflict, the Grizzlies directly had the upper hand in the lineup, causing the Celtics to lose the Christmas matchup ahead of schedule.

Looking at the Celtics whose morale was hit hard on the court, Luke sat off the court and smiled thoughtfully, "I'm afraid after this game, someone will say that I deliberately asked Ron to provoke the opponent. Won the game by unfair means."

"If the situation is evenly matched on the field, it would be fine, but the team clearly has a firm advantage from the beginning. It is really a headache to put this hat on the head."

Hearing Luke's self-deprecating ridicule, Lambiel waved his hands indifferently, "Anyway, this kind of shit has been put on our heads too many times, and it doesn't make any difference whether it is more or less."

"And to see that Paul Pierce guy wailing on his face is really refreshing."

"I have to say that although Ron sometimes acts impulsively, this guy really likes me more and more."

D'Antoni, whose heart was still beating fast, looked at a smiling face and a face full of indifference, and D'Antoni felt that he was the only normal person in the Grizzlies coaching staff.

At most, a Jafaroni can be added, but Jafaroni can only be regarded as half a normal person.

After all, when Artest collided with Paul Pierce, the first emotion that appeared on Jaffroni's face was not worry, but a trace of excitement?
All kinds of signs make D'Antoni feel that there are not normal people around him. Although nearly half a season has passed, D'Antoni still cannot accept the occurrence of violent fights on the court.

For D'Antoni, who is a firm pacifist, fighting will only become a hidden danger on the team's way to the championship.

But as the game continued, D'Antoni found that his firm "idea of ​​peace" seemed to have collapsed.

Seeing how the Celtics were beaten by the Grizzlies after the absence of Marbury and Pierce, D'Antoni suddenly realized that fights are not necessarily all bad things?
Although the lack of Artest's Grizzlies has weakened on the defensive end, it has no effect on the entire team's offensive system.

However, the Celtics without Pierce and Marbury were directly cool and transparent, and their offensive efficiency dropped to the struggling stage at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For the next period of time, what D'Antoni saw in his eyes was the unilateral slaughter of the Celtics by the Grizzlies.

As the most difficult opponent of the Grizzlies on the way to the championship this season, this game should have been a rough and difficult process. As a result, because of Artest's recklessness and impulsiveness, the Grizzlies easily won the Celtics by mistake. People, it took only three quarters to lead the Celtics by nearly [-] points.

Looking at the score gap between the two teams on the field, D'Antoni fell into contemplation for the first time because of such things as fighting.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies defeated the Boston Celtics by 32 points at home. While improving the team's record to 28 wins and 2 losses, head coach Luke still maintained a personal record of 100% winning percentage in the Christmas game.

After the game, Sam Mitchell, with a livid face, didn't go up to shake Luke's hand at all, but turned and left the court and walked towards the player's tunnel.

Obviously, Mitchell was very dissatisfied with the loss and the process of this game.

Paul Pierce and Stephon Marbury will both miss games for the rest of the season, regardless of whether Artest's behavior is an advance arrangement for the Grizzlies coaching staff.

For the Celtics, who are focused on chasing the Grizzlies, it is definitely a fatal blow.

Paul Pierce's injury to Sam Mitchell is still acceptable. After all, Artest's guy has never been very smart, and Mitchell didn't find it strange to make some malicious moves during the game.

But Stephen Marbury couldn't see the gap between himself and Artest. It's a good idea to stand up for teammate Paul Pierce, but in the end he was not only beaten by Artest, but also after the game. Shared suspension with Artest.

In Sam Mitchell's opinion, this was really terrible, and it even made Mitchell wonder if Marbury's bald head had been secretly replaced with a pig's brain!
Mitchell hates impulsive and reckless players, because in the end all losses will be borne silently by him, a head coach who has not yet secured his position.

But now Sam Mitchell hates the Grizzlies even more!

Whether it is Artest or the villains of the Grizzlies coaching staff, Mitchell feels that they are naked demons, and they don't deserve to appear in the NBA!

At the press conference after the game, Celtics head coach Sam Mitchell accused the Grizzlies of their misdeeds with a livid face.

"I now seriously doubt that Ron's big fight on the field is because someone is behind the scenes."

"Using such dirty means to win the game is really a disgraceful thing, otherwise it would be very difficult to lose this game with the Celtics' lineup background."

"It's unimaginable that Paul was hit by someone on the basketball court and broke two ribs, and Stephen, who stood up for his teammates, also suffered a severe beating."

"It all feels like black. Hand. Party nonsense! People can't tell whether they are playing ball or hitting people!"

"This is not the first time the Grizzlies have had a large-scale conflict with people on the court this season. I hope the league can punish the Grizzlies!"

"Instead of letting this develop and end up being a boxing match with a basketball moving around the court!"

Sam Mitchell's complaint was supported by many people. Including this conflict, the Grizzlies have had three more serious physical conflicts on the court this season.

However, Artest's action against Paul Pierce can only be regarded as a malicious foul, and Stephen Marbury, who took the lead in beating someone, was the key to provoking the conflict.

According to the league's previous penalty standards, although the Grizzlies are a habitual offender who often breaks out in fights on the basketball court, compared with the previous two conflicts, this fight is too childish. penalty.

After all, apart from Artest, the Grizzlies didn't have any players involved in the fight. If the team that didn't fight was called the Grizzlies, this incident could only be regarded as something that could happen every day in the league. Little things.

For the Grizzlies, Luke attended the press conference with Chris Paul and Yi Jianlian, who performed well in this game.

As the main starting point of the "U-shaped offense", Paul scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in this game. It can be said that he broke through the Celtics defense by himself and drove the entire Grizzlies team team attack.

Yi Jianlian, who was temporarily put on the starting lineup by Luke, also performed very well. Facing the veteran Kevin Garnett, not only did he not show weakness and fear on the court, but he played very tough.

Using his excellent explosive power and agile movement speed, he did not lose the wind in the matchup with Kevin Garnett.

And the existence of Chris Paul also benefited the highly mobile Yi Jianlian. In several fast-break counterattacks, Yi Jianlian and Chris Paul completed the air connection, which became a landscape for the Grizzlies' defensive counterattack.

最终，易建联在出场28分钟的情况下12投8中，其中三分线外5中2，罚球3中3，交出了21分8篮板2助攻以及1次封盖。

Facing Luke who attended the press conference, the reporter was most concerned about the "U-shaped tactics" used by the Grizzlies in this game.

This kind of play where all five players stand outside the three-point line to launch an offense is really unheard of in the active league.

After all, there are very few center players who can shoot three-pointers in this period, not to mention that no player is left inside the three-point line, and everyone stands on the outside. This style of play sounds crazy and nonsense.

But the Grizzlies successfully brought this tactic to the field in this game, and beat the Celtics helplessly. The on-site commentator Thomson was deeply shocked, and he called Luke a new generation of tactic genius.

Seeing the reporter's question with great interest, Luke nodded with a smile on his face and admitted that the "U-shaped tactics" came from him.

When the reporter asked Luke what to call this tactic, Luke said after a little thought, "The name of this tactic is Grizzly offense."

The reporter was not surprised that Luke named this tactic "Grizzly offense". After all, the origin of the Eagles' offense is also the offensive tactic invented by the Hawks head coach Hubie Brown when he was coaching the Eagles.

Compared with learning the name of this tactic from Luke, the reporter was most shocked that the "Grizzly offense" was actually a tactic invented by Luke, which undoubtedly made Luke even more dazzling as the head coach.

Throughout the entire historical career, there are many coaches with excellent coaching performance, but very few coaches who can invent their own tactics.

All basketball coaches who invent their own tactics and are eventually recognized by others are well-known in the industry.

Whether it's the old Pete who invented the triangle offense, or Hubie Brown who invented the eagle offense, these people have achieved success in their respective fields.

While Luke won the championship four times in his career, he invented the original tactic "Grizzly offense" when he was only 39 years old. This is obviously a shocking and extremely remarkable thing.

In particular, the "Grizzly offense" has played a very big threat on the court, and it has also successfully caused an uproar in the industry. These will be the capital of Luke's great success in the future.

Some media even believe that the Grizzlies offense created by Luke is likely to rewrite the overall structure of the league in the next few years.

As early as last season, teams have been shooting more and more three-pointers, and more than half of the teams in the entire league have begun to favor fast-paced play.

Even Murphy, the inside fortress who has been called a softie by fans, has been looted by many teams since last season.

Kapono and Novak of the Grizzlies have been missed for a long time. Even though their defensive abilities are poor, their excellent three-point shooting has become the key to attracting teams.

Among them, the trading quotations for the "three-point king" Kapono are even more outrageous. For those teams outside the playoffs, Kapono is young and has both combat power and offensive end. The "three-point king" who does not occupy the ball is definitely the most coveted helper on the way to the playoffs.

If it was last season, Kapono would definitely not be traded out in Luke's hands, but in the new season, the team got James Jones, who is equally good at three-pointers, through reinforcements.

Although Jones is slightly inferior to Kapono in terms of pure shooting ability, his comprehensive ability can completely replace Kapono's existence.

Since Kapono is loved by all teams in the league and has a very high transaction value, Luke has been considering the issue of Kapono's trade recently.

Otherwise, the position overlap on the Grizzlies' bench is too serious, and many players will not be able to display their true strength on the field. Instead of staying in the Grizzlies to expand the depth of the lineup, it is better to add other chips in exchange for players with better abilities.

At present, many teams such as the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Wizards have relatively close contact with the Grizzlies.

In addition, the Eagles and Pistons also have the opportunity to become Kapono's next home. Kapono hopes to be traded to a team with a starting opportunity, which makes Luke more picky when choosing a trading partner.

After all, the Grizzlies made a great contribution to winning Kapono last season. If there is a chance, Luke also hopes that Kapono's next career will be smooth.

Even if the new team can't play the first game, at least it must be valued by the new coach, not like Sam Mitchell, who only knows how to fuck the main lineup to death and seriously lacks the use of substitute players.
