Chapter 51
Being late and distracted, of course the goal was missed.

But when he landed, he spread his feet apart, avoiding Uncle Bao's black feet.

Uncle Bao looked innocent, and even took the initiative to apologize for being late: "Sorry, your shooting is too accurate, I must go all out."

Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. Uncle Bao's acting skills have already been perfected.

Too lazy to talk to him late, he went back to his own half to defend, and at the same time looked at the Spurs coach's bench.

Zhuge Weiwei was applauding, as if he was very satisfied with Bowen's defense.

A sneer flickered from the corner of Chi Lai's mouth, and he whispered to Mai Di in a low voice.

"Bowen wanted to play tricks on me. He deliberately let me take half a step to let me shoot. You can pass me more."

McGrady immediately worried: "No, I think you should calm down. We finally reached the Western Conference Finals. As our most important scoring point, you must not be injured."

Late smiled: "Don't worry, I already have a plan."

McGrady persuaded him a few more words, and seeing that he was late, he had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to go to Yao Ming and ask him to persuade him.

But what is the use of Yao Ming's persuasion?In the end, he was persuaded by the lateness.

The Rockets attacked and received the ball two steps outside the three-point line late. Bruce Bowen still put half a step away.

Being late without any hesitation, he chose to shoot again. He jumped high, and before he reached the highest point, the ball was already shot. Bowen's interference was invalid and the ball was scored!

The late arrival after the goal was hit hard by Bowen, and he sat down on the ground.

With the whistle in his mouth, the referee hesitated and didn't blow it.

After all, being late has already taken a three-pointer and made a hit, and being late is not a star player, Bowen really can not brag about the bump.

Charles Barkley explained: "Bowen doesn't seem to realize how terrible the threat of being late is. He dares to be half a step late? If he was ten years younger, I don't think there is a problem with such a choice, but he has now At 34 years old, his physical fitness has declined in all aspects, and he is late and the player with the fastest shooting speed in the league. I think he chose the wrong defensive strategy. Is he really a member of the best defensive team this year?"

Kenny Smith also said: "If the Spurs still adopt this defensive strategy, I think the Rockets will win this game. The late three-pointer is really terrible, and he must be double-teamed."

"If you double-team him, other Rockets players can easily get a shot. Don't forget the lesson of the Suns." Earl Johnson interjected.

The Spurs missed the attack, the Rockets attacked again, but the ball was still passed late.

This time he was late and still ignored Bruce Bowen's defense, jumping high and shooting.

Bruce Bowen didn't dare to be careless, he rushed forward and bumped into late.

Then he heard an exclamation in his ear, and then he was late and flew out as if he had been hit by a truck.

Bruce Bowen was completely stunned. He wasn't stupid. He was late just now, and he was lucky that he didn't get called a foul. If he bumped again now, wouldn't he be looking for a whistle?
Moreover, he himself felt that the physical contact between the two of them was extremely slight, how could he fly out when he was late?

Except for himself, no one on the court could see the truth in the middle, and even Duncan looked at Bowen in disbelief.

Duncan is not stupid, he knows very well that the Spurs lineup needs someone to be a villain and do things that others cannot do. As a super giant recognized by the league, he certainly cannot be a villain.

What made him unbelievable was that Bowen did it so blatantly, did he have a hatred for being late and taking his wife away?

Even Charles Barkley couldn't help shouting: "Bowen is committing murder. His weight is similar to that of Late, but the problem is that Late was jumping in the air at the time, and there was no way to use his strength to fight."

Seeing Laid slowly get up from the ground, Barkley immediately said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that Laid took away Bowen's wife, otherwise he would have no reason to be so ruthless."

As soon as the incident happened, McGrady rushed up and confronted Bowen. Fortunately, he got up quickly and did not cause a bigger conflict.

McGrady asked with concern if he wanted to go down for an inspection, but he just shook his head and said to continue.

In the end, the referee gave Bowen a first-degree flagrant foul, and McGrady was called a technical foul.

This foul made both sides calm down a lot. Bowen, who was called a malicious foul, also became more honest. At least until the end of halftime, Bowen's defense was fairly regular, but his movements were slightly bigger and there were more small movements. , not to an unacceptable level.

After the second quarter, the Rockets led by 62 points 54:8, which is not a big advantage, but it was quite unexpected to score 62 points in the half against the Spurs.

Bowen is 201cm tall, which played a certain role in restricting late arrivals, but it was not obvious. Because he deliberately relaxed his defense many times in the first half and wanted to make black feet, the late shooting rate was quite high.

Back in the lounge, he was late and pulled Yao Ming and McGrady aside, muttering something in a low voice.

McGrady looked worried, Yao Ming kept shaking his head, and finally insisted lately: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief. Bowen's intention today is very obvious. He just wanted to get me out of the game, and he must have got it." According to Zhugeweiqi's instruction, I must act first."

"But this is too dangerous. What if you are really injured? The team can't do without you now." Yao Ming objected.

McGrady also said: "Why don't I come, if I'm prepared, I think I should be able to do it."

"Stop arguing with me. In terms of the ability to control your own body, you are all inferior to me, and it is impossible for Bowen to give up marking me. Don't worry, I have full confidence."

In the end, Yao and Mai agreed that they would not be late, and they agreed with their hearts full of thoughts.

The game resumed in the second half, and the situation between the two sides did not change much from the first half. The Rockets resolutely hit the point of being late, and with his amazing three-point shooting percentage, they firmly grasped the initiative of the game.

Tony Parker and Ginobili performed well, but both of them are mainly 2 points, and the efficiency of chasing points is not very high.

The third quarter is almost halfway through, and they have scored 38 points late, which is the most powerful point on the court.

Zhuge Weiwei frowned tightly, and kept directing the Spurs players to move and defend.

At 6:21 in the third quarter, McGrady made a breakthrough with the ball. Bruce Bowen gave up being late and chose to double-team. McGrady split the ball in time. Standing at 45 degrees from the three-point line, McGrady received the ball late and immediately jumped up and shot.

Bruce Bowen's double-teaming was just a fake move. When McGrady scored the ball, he turned around and chased it back. He also took off with all his strength. The two collided in the air, became entangled, and fell to the ground at the same time.

Late is young, jumps higher and thus has an advantage, and is on top when it comes down.

But as soon as he landed, he immediately screamed in pain, holding his left elbow with his right hand, rolling all over the ground in pain.

Bruce Bowen was also having a hard time. He lay on the ground grinning, unable to get up for a while.

Players from both sides immediately gathered around, Yao Ming directly blocked the Spurs players, and McGrady went to check on the late injury.

The referee blew a timeout and signaled the doctors of both teams to get on the field.

The screams on the court were so clear that both Late and Bruce Bowen seemed to want to prove that they were the victim.

But TNT TV obviously didn't buy it. Everyone knows how dirty Bruce Bowen is.

Charles Barkley said: "Bruce Bowen did it on purpose. He just wanted to hurt the lateness. He wanted to ruin the most accurate shooter in the world!"

"Let's take a look at the slow motion." Earl Johnson looked at the slow motion playback and analyzed carefully, "Bowen pretended to double-team McGrady, McGrady scored the ball late, and the late catch the ball and immediately shot. Let's pay attention at this time. Bowen, he rushed towards the late, and he didn't mean to slow down at all, I even felt that his expression seemed to be smiling, as if he had succeeded in a trick."

"Late took off and jumped in the air, completely unable to dodge. Bowen collided with him. Bowen took the initiative to stretch out his foot and hooked Late's foot. Late lost his balance and fell."

"Oh! God!" Charles Barkley took a breath, "Late's arm seemed to hit the floor, no wonder he was in so much pain."

"When the two were rubbing in the air, Bowen also fell because he lost his balance. It seems that he should also be injured." Barkley added, "The Spurs used the most despicable tactics. They injured a role player. The end point of the Rockets' perimeter offense, they made a lot of money!"

After speaking, Barkley spiel immediately: "If the league still allows this situation to exist, the players don't have to play at all, and everyone sends role players to injure the opponent's core. Bowen should be lucky, this It's in the playoffs, and if it's the regular season, I'll bet a hundred dollars that he'll be one-handed for being late."

The Rockets and Spurs players quickly reached a tacit understanding and separated, which did not cause a greater conflict.

Tim Duncan's waist was pierced, and his expression was a little complicated.

He knew very well what the coach said in the locker room during the halftime break, all of which were arranged by the coach.

This is for the championship!
He convinced himself so in his heart.

At the same time, Duncan took a look at the Rockets. Yao Ming and McGrady were anxious, and they stood next to the lates, refusing to move away. The Rockets team doctor helped the lates to his feet and limped into the player tunnel after a simple emergency treatment.

As the instigator, Bowen also stood up with the support of the team doctor. After simple treatment, his condition seemed to be much better. He gestured to Zhuge Weiqi to indicate that he could still fight.

Fortunately, this is the Spurs' own home court, otherwise the boos would have been loud.

In fact, even the Spurs' own fans, not many people would like Bowen.

Barkley has been criticizing the Spurs' strategy of deliberately hurting people on TV, believing that the Spurs have tarnished basketball.

This is said, as if he is so clean.
