The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After the insider Jason Smith struggled to grab the offensive rebound, he immediately looked for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian hit again.

The Clippers scored a goal, turned around and landed again. Davis and Smith gave Tang Tian continuous off-ball pick-and-rolls, and Holiday dribbled the ball and waited there.

After running for almost 20 seconds, Tang Tian finally got rid of the heavy defense and had a chance, so he passed the ball to Tang Tian for a shot.

Tang Tian missed a three-pointer, but his teammates didn't show any displeasure on their faces, instead they retreated quickly.

That's not counting. After a few minutes of playing, the Pelicans stole the Clippers' offense. Tang Tian and Holiday's 2-on-0 frontcourt.

Holiday can layup easily.

But when he looked back and saw Tang Tian following up, he still passed the ball to Tang Tian, ​​making Tang Tian perform a dunk with a flat basket.

Although Williams' tactics were arranged around Tang Tian, ​​it didn't seem to be a matter of arrangement at all tonight.

It's the entire Pelicans team who are really looking for Tang Tian!

And there is a kind of enthusiasm from the heart, it feels like if you don't look for Tang Tian, ​​you will feel uneasy!

As a result, after the first quarter, Tang Tian made 15 of 7 shots and scored as many as 20 points in the first quarter!

The power of money!

Chapter 4: A Hooligan Is an Old Hooligan When He Gets Old (Fourth Update!)

The Pelicans also led the Clippers 30-26.

Rivers on the sidelines was so angry that he roared at the players on the field.

Griffin said that he didn't take the Pelicans seriously. The chicken soup that Rivers instilled in them was that they were going for the championship this season.

The performance of the Pelicans is much better than what experts predicted, but they are obviously not in the championship queue.

So it is not a competitor, in their view, there is nothing wrong with it.

So being led by the Pelicans in the first quarter, and being bombarded with 30 points, this is completely intolerable for Rivers.

After Crawford came up, he scored consecutive points, but Gordon and Anderson on the Pelicans also performed very hard, and the situation has been deadlocked.

When the situation was stalemate, the Clippers gradually made more small moves, and the smell of gunpowder on the field became more and more intense.

Aminu was expelled from the game because of being provoked by Barnes and received consecutive technical fouls.

The Pelicans can only use Mercy Shiping to make the transition.

The game lasted more than four minutes, and both sides replaced the main players in advance.

Tang Tian forced Barnes and scored with a shot after the confrontation.

But at this moment, an accident happened.

Barnes made a big defensive move and pushed and pulled Tang Tian when he fell.

Although Tang Tian reacted quickly and made adjustments in the air, when he landed, he still landed on his shoulders, lying directly on the ground with a painful expression.

Seeing Tang Tian being knocked down, the other four Pelicans quickly stepped forward to confront Barnes.

Barnes, who was born in the Golden State gang, has a tough style of play, and his arrogance is even higher when he is under Rivers' account.

Griffin, Crawford and others on the field also came behind him.

The atmosphere on the court was a bit tense.

Barnes cursed and spat all over the sky.

But just as he was cursing, an iron fist suddenly hit him.

He couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked over by a punch.

And it doesn't count after the dry flip, the master who punched still sat on him, and hit him with a set of combined punches.

Fortunately, he was still awake and knew how to protect his head with his arms, otherwise he would have been KO'd on the spot right now.

Griffin was stunned by the side, but he didn't dare to go up and pull it.

The person who punched was Ci Shiping.

The previous Auburn Hills incident made Artest famous all over the world. Of course, the price was also very high, and he was directly suspended for one year.

After Artest came back, he restrained a lot, and changed his name to Ci Shiping.

But a hooligan is a hooligan after all, and he is still an old hooligan when he gets old.

When he wanted to punch, Ci Shiping was no longer the locker room leader who loved rap, but Artest of Auburn Hills.

The referee's whistle almost blew to stop the further escalation of the conflict.

Metta World Peace was also pulled from Barnes by Gordon and Smith.

Barnes' hands were shaking, his nose was still bleeding, and he was beaten a bit badly.

There were cheers at the scene.

Although the method is a bit violent, this method of responding to malicious fouls is really cool, and it makes people feel like returning to the passionate feeling of basketball in the last century.

Because of the sudden conflict, the game entered an official technical timeout.

Tang Tian was driven to the sidelines by Davis at this time, and the team doctor immediately came up to inquire.

The technical station is replaying the conflict just now to determine the final penalty.

However, most of the fans on the scene looked at the Pelicans bench.

The situation on Tang Tian's side didn't look too good.

"You'd better get tested now, it doesn't look like a second."

On the bench, the team doctor was reminding Tang Tian.

"Do I have to go for a test now?"

Tang Tian confirmed to the team doctor.

"It's best, judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that the shoulder is dislocated. The possibility of dislocation is not ruled out, and there is also a possibility of tearing the labrum of the shoulder."

The team doctor said a bunch of technical terms, what he wanted to convey was that the injury was not serious.

At this time, the final penalty on the technical table has come out.

Barnes was charged with a second-degree flagrant foul and was ejected from the game.

Ci Shiping was also sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul and was directly expelled.

For the same penalty, it is foreseeable that Ci Shiping will definitely receive a suspension and a fine after the game.

After replaying the video of the conflict, the big LED screen immediately played back the ball Barnes made a malicious foul.

The action was bad, and it was obviously aimed at people.

There was booing all over the scene, Barnes and Metta Shiping all left the venue one after another at this time.

Barnes was booed all over the scene, and the fans at the entrance couldn't wait to go down and beat him up.

After the timeout, the game continued, but Tang Tian didn't appear on the stage. His shoulder had already been fixed with something, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.

After talking with the team doctor, Tang Tian decided to sit in the midfield and walk.

If it was an obvious dislocation, he must be in pain and unable to sit still, but no, it means that the situation is not as bad as the team doctor said.

Now that the conflict has just broken out, if he stays, it will be a good encouragement to the morale of the team.

Tang went to the field, and Gordon and Davis took over the team's right to fire.

Although the situation on the field of the Pelicans seemed passive after being "exchanged", they played very tenaciously.

At halftime, they were only 50 points behind the Clippers 55-5.

At halftime, the players on both sides returned to the locker room.

Tang Tian didn't return. After greeting his teammates in the player tunnel to let them cheer for the second half, he went with the team doctor to the local hospital for an examination.

When the examination results came out, the first thing ruled out was a tear of the shoulder labrum.

This is good news.

Among the injuries in the NBA, among the injuries that afflict players the most are the knee meniscus, ankle, and shoulder labrum.

When this kind of injury is serious, reimbursement for the season is a trivial matter, and it may even ruin an entire career.

The more well-known ones are Kevin Love and McAway.

Love's shoulder labrum was torn by Olynik. After his comeback, his strength dropped a notch, and he has not been able to recover since then. It is the turn of the fans to complain about the garbage contract.

The situation of McAway is even worse. The potential rookie who performed bravely in his rookie season has directly faded out of the NBA.

This is also where the injuries are scary.

Not everyone recovers from a major injury like a future Paul George.

The Pelicans eventually lost to the Clippers 91-106.

Although they played very hard, without Tang Tian, ​​they were obviously at a disadvantage.

At the end of the game, the Clippers players were booed by the fans when they left the field.

This team already had a lot of small moves, and it got worse after Rivers arrived, which itself made fans of other teams not like it.

Coupled with Griffin's previous provocation, Tang Tian was abolished in this game, and the two teams were completely enmity.

After a series of inspection results, Tang Tian's injury report came out the next day.

The shoulder is slightly dislocated and requires recovery treatment for 3 to 5 weeks.

In other words, he will usher in the first absence of the regular season of his career, and it will take at least a month or so.

Chapter 461 Make Your Teammates Stronger (First Update!)

This is obviously not very good news.

After the injury report came out, fans have begun to condemn Barnes on the hotline.

"Ci Shiping beat me lightly, this kind of person should be beaten to death!"

"Damn, this is simply a useless action, it should be banned for one season!"

"This is not an action that a basketball game should have, and the league should punish it severely!"

……

Just as the fans were criticizing fiercely on the Internet, Tang Tian sent a message to Stern. .

"Metta Shiping acted aggressively because of the opponent's malicious fouls and provocations. He should not be suspended too severely."

He didn't care about Barnes, but defended Metta Shiping in advance.

Barnes' malicious foul is abominable, but in the eyes of the league, the impact of Metta World Peace's actions will be even worse.

Tang Tian had been a coach in his previous life and knew the league's tendency to punish in this regard.

Ci Shiping went up to fight in order to protect himself, so he had to find a way to protect himself.

This is his selfishness.

As for why I chose to send a message to Stern.

Although Stern is now only about one month away from retirement, most of the work may have been handed over to Xiao Hua.

But he is still the president of the alliance in name and has the greatest say.

So Tang Tian sent it to him, which was the fastest and most effective.

And judging from what Stern did before, he was very supportive of Tang Tian.

If Tang Tian asked for help in this kind of matter, Stern would most likely help.
