The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"It's really disgusting, obviously the strength is not bad, but I like to mess with these dirty things, can't I afford to lose?"

"I just can't afford to lose. Didn't the Pelicans also lose two years ago? I didn't see them doing this, and they won back in the second year! There is no comparison and no harm!"

"The league must severely punish Pachulia. Two players step up in a row in a game, and one of them is No.1 in the league. Can this be tolerated?!"

"Just get banned for life! I don't want to see such a disgusting person in the NBA again!"

……

Because Tang Tian was almost injured, the focus of fan discussions on social media was no longer the outcome of the game, and the voices were quite unified.

"Dear, are you alright?"

Tang Tian returned home after the game, and Olson was waiting for him at the gate of the manor.

As soon as the game was over, she called Tang Tian, ​​but Tang Tian said that she would wait until she got home.

"I said I was injured is a lie, do you believe it?"

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Olsen shook her head, her eyes were always on Tang Tian's feet, her eyes were full of worry.

Tang Tian sighed.

These days, I don't even believe the truth when I tell my wife.

He went up suddenly, and suddenly hugged Olsen.

It seems that we still have to rely on the facts to speak.

Speaking of which, since the birth of their son, the activities of both of them have decreased.

The moonlight is fine today.

In the league office, Tatum called representatives of other teams in the league overnight for an impromptu meeting.

The content of the meeting was precisely about Pachulia's suspected stepping into Tang Tian in the Western Conference Finals.

The meeting went smoothly, and the representatives of each team quickly reached a consensus, judging that Pachulia's action was a vicious act, and the league would give him a heavier punishment.

Not even a Warriors representative raised objections.

Whether it was Ariza, Jokic, or even Leonard in the past, there is no comparison with Tang Tian now.

Tang Tian is now No. 1 in the serious league, and his global influence is comparable to that of Jordan.

Just imagine the consequences of James being stepped on, Tang Tian will only be more serious than that.

If Tang Tian is really abolished, it will be a devastating blow to the NBA, and it will also be a huge blow to the promotion of basketball around the world.

So this matter must be severely punished.

Early the next morning, the league announced Pachulia's punishment.

The second-degree malicious foul will not change, and will be suspended for 20 games and an additional $3 fine.

And in addition to this punishment, the league also introduced a new clause: black feet.

The terms stipulate that when the offensive player makes a jump shot, if the defending player makes dangerous moves and does not leave enough landing space for the pitcher, he will be called a technical foul or even a malicious foul. The referee can review the video to judge the severity of the foul To a certain extent, the league will also add possible suspensions after the game.

The speed of this reaction and the result of the penalty shocked the league.

The 20-game suspension is less than the penalty given by Metta Shiping, who was still Artest, for beating the audience.

But almost exclusively, the media and fans cheered the result.

You step on Ariza and Jokic, the league can be regarded as not seeing;

If you step on Leonard, the league can also settle accounts after autumn;

But you stepped on Tang Tian?Sorry, you're done!

Pachulia is just an ordinary NBA player, suspended for 20 games, which means that even if a team wants to sign him next season, they have to wait at least 17 games.

For superstars or All-Star players, the team can afford to wait, but for an ordinary NBA player, no team is likely to be willing to try.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the 33-year-old Pachulia, his NBA career is basically over.

……

At the local hospital in Jinzhou, Pachulia, who had just received the inspection report, felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

Comminuted fracture of the big toe...

The step Tang Tian stepped on was really too ruthless!

With a body of more than 100 kilograms and all the strength concentrated at one point, if it weren't for wearing sneakers, his toes might have been flattened.

Compared to the last time when his front teeth were knocked out, Tang Tian's attack this time was really too ruthless!

Stepping up is risky, so you need to be cautious when you start.

This kind of fracture is not a question of how long it takes to recover, but whether it can recover is entirely a question.

But speaking of it, the big toe fracture during the game was still shattered. His injury is probably the first in NBA history.

No one else knew, but he knew that Tang Tian did it on purpose.

When he recovers, he will definitely settle the score with Tang Tian.

And including the country that insulted him with non-stop trash talk before, he will repay it double!

He secretly swore.

"Zaza, are you alright?"

Just as he was thinking, Green came to visit him.

"It's okay, I'm sorry because my team lost."

Pachulia said unwillingly.

Green forced a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said some comforting words.

When he finished speaking, he left.

"Don't watch the news these days."

Before leaving, Green specifically warned.

When Green was gone, Pachulia, who hadn't been online because of the injury check and pain, reluctantly took out her mobile phone.

Green's exhortation made him very curious.

After seeing the news that he was suspended for 20 games, his eyes froze.

No wonder Green said that, no wonder the Warriors came to see him alone.

It's over, he's completely over...

Chapter 994 Tang Tian's Weakness? (First update!)

Not many people care about Pachulia's situation.

Even after the Warriors officially announced Pachulia's injury report, fans just spit like they saw Grandpa Lu.

On the contrary, it was Tang Tian's MRI report that attracted the fans' attention.

For safety reasons, Tang Tian still underwent a whole system of inspections the next day.

The examination results showed that Tang Tian was indeed not injured.

The fans cheered and cheered after seeing it. This is really a blessing in misfortune!

Pachulia was suspended and Tang Tian was not injured. The fans are looking forward to the next game of the Western Conference Finals.

Whether to settle the battle in six games or enter the tiebreaker is full of suspense.

And without the X factor of Pachulia, fans can appreciate a purer basketball.

After the end of Tianwangshan, the Warriors returned to Oakland.

The Pelicans have won the match point by winning Tianwangshan. If they can't win the next home game, then their season will come to an end.

The runner-up in the Western Conference with 73 wins last season is already a shame. Now that the four-star Warriors have another runner-up in the Western Conference, it would be really embarrassing to go to the Pacific Ocean.

So they must win, and the next home game must win!

However, the question is how to win.

Cole is feeling dizzy now, and his first and second assistant coaches, Ron Adams and Gallon Collins, are sitting in his coach's office.

After Gentry went to the Pelicans, Collins, who was originally the team's chief video analyst, was promoted.

Both of his assistants were offering tactical advice, but Kerr remained silent.

In the battle of Tianwangshan, everyone felt that it was Pachulia's stepping that gave the Pelicans a boost and eventually caused the Warriors to lose the game.

But it's not like that.

Because they lost by only 16 points in the end, and before Pachulia made that move, they were already down by 11 points.

In fact, from the third game onwards, they couldn't defend against the Pelicans, or Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's scoring average in these three games is close to 40 points. In such a high-intensity game, it is a score that can directly determine the victory or defeat of the game.

"Do you think we have a way to defend against Tang Tian?"

After listening to the opinions of the teaching assistants, Cole asked.

silence.

The originally lively office suddenly became quiet.

Tang Tian, ​​don't talk about defense, even restrictions are hard to do.

In terms of scoring skills alone, Tang Tian may not be as good as Jordan and Kobe, and in terms of scoring visual effects, he may not be as good as Iverson and Carter.

However, he is too comprehensive, more comprehensive than James.

Can shoot, can break through, can play with the ball, can also play off the ball, can assist, can organize, can defend...

And this ability is not only capable, but also very good at it.

Others' skills are not more than fineness, they are specific and fine, and they have a skill. He has not only many skills but also fine skills.

It is really difficult to guard against such a player.

It seems that there is really no other way except to pray that Tang Tian doesn't feel good.

Or, borrow another tainted milk from Jordan?

Hmm, that seems like a good idea.

"I don't think Tang is without weaknesses."

After a while of silence, Collins suddenly spoke.

Both Cole and Adams turned to look at him curiously.

After Gentry left, the Warriors' usual tactical formulation was basically carried out between Cole and Adams.

As a newly promoted assistant coach, Collins didn't participate much.

So when he opened his mouth at this moment, the two of them were puzzled and also looked forward to it.

"I have studied all of Don's technical characteristics. His jump shot is fast and accurate, his breakthrough is hard and fast, his passing is extremely accurate, and his defense is impenetrable."

The usual job of a video analyst is to analyze the game video. Of course, this analysis is not only about the team, but also the technical characteristics of the players.

Therefore, coaches of this type will have a better understanding of the technical characteristics of players.

Heat coach Spoelstra is a typical example.

However, Cole and Adams didn't react much when they heard this. They knew what Collins said, and they were waiting for the turning point later.

"But he has one skill that's relatively not that great, and that's something we can try to target."

Sure enough, Collins immediately turned around.

"Ball-handling skills, as a striker with a height of more than 2 meters, his center of gravity is very low. Even in fast breaks, he will deliberately lower the center of gravity."
