Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 37. 37. A game where three people expel two injured and retired

Madman expelled!Bowen is injured and retired!

The brow bone burst, the bridge of the nose was broken, and Uncle Bao's blood spilled on the field.

This scene not only made the three referees on the scene feel terrified, but even the fans in the entire home court never thought of it.

Unexpectedly, the team had two consecutive conflicts with the Spurs today. These two conflicts directly caused five players to leave the field.

This kind of staged conflict in a single game is rare even in NBA history.

However, the madman's three punches KO Bowen still made the home fans enjoy themselves. After all, every foul move by Bowen is very dirty. Today's madman's three punches can be regarded as a good breath of anger for many fans.

What's a little troublesome is that the madman's shot this time could easily be mistaken by the outside world for intentional injury, just to fight for the injustice of his former teammate Hudson who was criminalized.

Even if the referee can prove that Bowen begged the madman to hit him...

But once the league regards this shot as an intentional injury, the punishment that the madman needs to face is far from being as simple as a fight, and it is very likely that he will be banned for multiple games.

This is why Bruce Bowen was puzzled by the fact that the madman actually beat him, because the madman really has no brains! !
Poor Uncle Bao was sure that the madman didn't dare to do anything, so he crazily provoked him with his mouth. As a result, the madman with a cold face was still warm-hearted.

After Bowen asked to hit me many times, the madman actually did what he wanted and was willing to turn into a helpful player. This is really a touching moment in competitive sports...

The incident of leopard print blood spilling on the field still shocked everyone, especially Spurs coach Popovich yelled at the referee like crazy, demanding that Timberwolves coach Luke be expelled.

Popovich seriously suspects that this was deliberately arranged by Luke off the court.

However, the referee, who was obviously upset, forcibly suppressed the anger of wanting to call a technical foul, and then only replied to Popovich: "If you complain about this time, you should discipline your players."

Returning to the game again, the Timberwolves were obviously the losers of the two fights. Now the Timberwolves not only lost three players, but one of them is a madman who is one of the three-headed monsters. This will definitely affect the overall strength of the Timberwolves.

On the other hand, the Spurs only lack Bowen and Horry. The main offensive point of the team's win not only has no loss at all, but also uses the dead ball stage to get a lot of rest time.

From the perspective of the game, the Spurs are obviously the dominant side, while the Timberwolves are the dominant side in the fight...

In the little game time left in the second quarter, the defect of the madman being expelled did not appear at this time, because Szczerbiak could completely make up for this loophole.

It's just that the Timberwolves may be in trouble during the rotation stage.

At the end of the half, with the advantages accumulated by the madman before leaving the field, the Timberwolves led the Spurs by 6 points and ended the first half contest.

"These guys are still so impulsive, and I don't know what kind of impact this time will bring to the team." McHale, who was watching the game at home in the front row, sighed helplessly.

Apparently, there was a gradual numbness to the fact that Luke was in trouble.

What's more, this time McHale was on Luke's side, and the cause of these two fights were malicious fouls by the Spurs.

If Luke really chooses to swallow his anger off the court, then McHale really feels as uncomfortable as eating shit.

"I really don't blame them this time. The Spurs' two fouls are really too much. Yilu and these guys will definitely not let it go."

"I just hope Luke can restrain himself a little after the game. If Lu's attitude is still as tough as before, then it will be the real trouble." Boss Glenn Taylor also sighed, and the mood towards Luke is really complicated. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is love and hate.

After returning from the second half, the two most provocative players of the Spurs have all left the field, which makes the Spurs gradually become more honest on the field. After all, the Timberwolves are simply lunatics! !

That's right, a bunch of out-and-out lunatics!

Throughout the third quarter, the absence of the madman still had some impact on the Timberwolves.

The Madman is an excellent ball-handling attacker. When the Madman is on the court, he can attract a lot of defensive attention and help his teammates get better offensive opportunities.

At this time, the madman was expelled from the field, and Luke could only let Nehbar take on more offensive responsibilities. Otherwise, when Garnett and Cassel are both average, the Timberwolves are indeed a bit difficult to play on the field.

Fortunately, Nehbar's touch in this game was very good. Facing Ginobili's defense, Nehbar hit consecutive shots in the third quarter.

Whether it was a mid-range jumper after a pick-and-roll or a one-on-one pull-up three-pointer, Nehbar took over the game very well, helping the Timberwolves to maintain a slight advantage.

In addition, the departure of "Madman" Sprewell also gave Hardaway, who had just joined the team, more opportunities.

Nowadays, the tacit understanding between "Penny" Hardaway and his teammates is still relatively unfamiliar, but Hardaway has always been confident in his personal ability.

Especially when the two defensive strengths of Bowen and Horry are no longer able to play, Hardaway, who came off the bench, played very comfortably.

Whether facing Devin Brown or Brent Barry, Hardaway can easily gain an advantage on the offensive end, especially in the last two and a half minutes of the third quarter. Played the prestige of "penny".

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs, which lacked two defensive strengths, directly exposed their flaws, and even the toughest defense was torn open by the Timberwolves.

In the last quarter, the two teams started the final fierce battle of the game.

Garnett and Duncan also tried their best and began to enter the mutual explosion mode on the court, but the mutual explosion between Duncan and Garnett was simply ridiculous.

Because the offensive methods of the two basically finish at the middle distance, it is hard to imagine that when two stars shoot one at the middle distance and the other shoots the other, it turns out to be a mutual explosion! !
However, the name Nehbar is destined to shine in this game. In the fourth quarter, Nehbar successfully stood up to take over the game.

Directly teaming up with Garnett, the two contracted all the Timberwolves' scoring in the fourth quarter.

With the end of the game, the Timberwolves experienced a hard fight without three players, and finally defeated the Spurs by 7 points at home, winning this wolf-horse battle with two consecutive expulsions.

Throughout the game, the Spurs and Timberwolves had a total of five players leaving the field, three of whom were expelled and two were injured.

This kind of tragic situation is indeed rare in the regular season, but considering that the Timberwolves players are very irritable and the leading coach is a complete lunatic, thinking about it this way, all this seems to be extremely normal again.

In this game, the Timberwolves can still beat the Spurs in the absence of three players. The performance of the rising star Nehbar is definitely obvious to all.

Facing Manu Ginobili, who is likely to be selected to the All-Star team this year, Nehbar scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Among them, 35 points not only set a career high for Nehbar, but also made Nehbar the shortest European player in the NBA to score 20+ in the 35th century.

It seems that it is not difficult to score 35 points in a single game, but for an unaccustomed European player, being able to play such a game in such a short period of time is enough to show Nehbar's amazing adaptability.

Once European players can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, they don't have to worry about their entire career. The basic skills and team style of European players are absolutely irresistible to any coach.

Except for Nehbar, Garnett's performance in this game was mediocre, but his two key mid-range shots in the fourth quarter were priceless.

面对着蒂姆邓肯，在这场现役最出色的大前锋对决中，加内特交出了21分14篮板4助攻2抢断以及1次封盖的数据。

Both Duncan and Duncan are very similar in statistics, and it is difficult to see which of the two players is better.

Especially when the shooting percentage of both of them is higher than 50%, the performance of the two can only be summed up by the word "stable".

In addition, "Penny" Hardaway, who ushered in the Timberwolves' debut, also contributed 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Even though this data does not seem so amazing, the help "Penny" provided to the Timberwolves in the second half is very important.

The control ability on the field, as well as the offensive and defensive tension in the rotation stage, these are not reflected by the data.

In the end, although the madman was expelled in the second half of the second quarter, the madman still contributed 13 points and 3 rebounds.

Especially when facing Brent Barry in the second quarter, Madman was simply Jordan's possession, establishing a visible lead for the Timberwolves.

It is even this advantage that guarantees the Timberwolves' victory in the final stage.

.....................

At the press conference after the game, the small room of the Timberwolves was already packed with all kinds of reporters.

When Luke brought Garnett into the arena, all the reporters immediately surrounded him, and most of the questions asked of Luke were related to the conflict in this game.

Facing the reporter's questioning, Luke just replied indifferently: "The Spurs are a team with extremely dirty defensive actions. I think you all know the reasons for these two conflicts."

"I don't think the team did anything wrong. Strictly speaking, the players are just trying to protect themselves on the court."

"I don't know whether the Spurs' malicious foul was ordered by Greg, or the players revealed this kind of darkness from the bottom of their hearts."

"I just want to say, if you can't manage your players well, then I'm happy to do it for you."

"I heard that Irene has been in some trouble recently. I will definitely find someone to help her if I have the chance. Yes, I am talking about you, Greg." Luke talked to Popovich from the air with a sneer on his face, revealing The violent breath that came out made people feel shuddering.
