Basketball: Serious injury at the start!Turn on hell mode

When the chief referee came to the center of the field, all eyes were on him.

"drop!"

"Bowen blocked the foul and added a first-degree flagrant foul!"

"Duke level one flagrant foul!"

"Mason and Yi Jianlian each received a technical foul!"

All four involved were punished, but no one was ejected.

The Knicks fans were very satisfied with the result of the penalty, and they stood up and cheered.

Popovich was stunned by the referee's operation, and then a burst of anger welled up in his heart.

Regardless of the assistant coach's obstruction, he rushed to the referee and sprayed wildly:

"fxxk! Are your eyes blind? My player was injured by that murderer's elbow, and he is still being treated in the locker room. You are conniving him to commit a crime, you butchers...... ..”

The referee cursed inwardly:

"Don't you know what kind of virtue you have? Haven't you indulged Bowen to do the dirty work these years? In the past, we just turned a blind eye, but who made you mess with the newcomer that the league wants to praise this time?" , deserve your bad luck!"

Not used to Popovich's stink, the referee blew the whistle again and gave Popovich a technical foul.

But Popovich didn't restrain himself because of this technical foul, and he was still madly outputting to the referee there.

Even Duncan rushed forward to try to pull Popovich away.

But it was too late at this time, and the unbearable referee once again gave Popovich a technical foul.

Two consecutive technical fouls were directly punished.

Now Popovich had no choice but to follow the staff to the locker room.

However, the indignant look on his face seemed to tell everyone that he would never let this matter go.

The scene once again burst into warm applause, and the Knicks fans gave the referee the greatest support.

"Duke's elbow is worth it. Even if he is fined for this matter, Dolan will reimburse him."

"The Knicks made a lot of money this time around, and even the opposing head coach was fined. Duke's ability to draw fouls is unrivaled!"

Barkley and Smith both praised Duke in an alternative way.

Duke is at the free throw line, ready to execute a technical free throw.

I thought I might have to rest again this time, but I didn't expect it was just a first-degree malicious foul. The opponent's coach was still so calm, and sent two technical fouls, which made him soft on free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

After hitting several free throws in a row, D'Antoni replaced Duke with Crawford as a precaution.

Applause broke out again at the scene to pay tribute to their heroes.

The balance of victory also fell to the Knicks.

Without Popovich's strategizing, the Spurs' offense quickly fell into chaos.

Crawford on the Knicks' side obviously came on the field with a mission. As soon as he got the ball, he went inside to find Duncan, and he was bound to find a foul on Duncan.

The hard work paid off. With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Duncan received his second personal foul and had to rest obediently.

And D'Antoni also used this to pursue the victory and sent his ace scorer Duke to play.

As soon as Duke came on the court, he released his desire to attack.

Facing George Hill, who had been ravaged by him for most of the quarter, Duke didn't make any fancy moves, just a simple acceleration, wiped his body and rushed into the inside line aggressively.

Trevor, who was backing up the defense, hadn't reacted yet, and Duke made another light European step to sway the opponent to the north, and finally hit the board empty-handed.

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

In the next few rounds, without Duncan guarding the penalty area, Duke directly turned into Zhao Yun and killed three in and three out of the Spurs' inside defense, stabbing their inside defense full of holes and devastation.

When the Spurs' assistant coach belatedly began to double-team Duke, the Knicks fired again from the outside, and the three-point handicap between Marion and Korver further widened.

Seeing the point difference getting bigger and bigger, the Spurs assistant coach's face was as ugly as eating shit, but he racked his brains and couldn't come up with an effective method.

In fact, this is no wonder to him. Without Parker and Ginobili, the strength of the Spurs has been reduced by half. In addition, the strength of the Spurs is not at its peak at this time. Even if Popovich was not sent off the field, There is only one way he can use.

On to Duncan!

As if receiving Popovich's instructions, the Spurs assistant looked at Duncan with pleading eyes.

Duncan noticed the other party's eyes, sighed helplessly, stood up and took off his training clothes, ready to play again to save the team.

"drop!"

The Spurs assistant coach and the players on the field were relieved, and quickly fouled deliberately to create a substitution opportunity.

Enter Duncan, exit Trevor!

Duncan's return really worked, and the Knicks' offense this round was defeated by Duncan's help.

After switching over, Duncan also made some achievements on the offensive end. After attracting double-teams, he made another internal pass. Oberto received a Duncan nanny-style pass and succeeded.

Duncan's play once again gave the struggling Spurs a life.

However, this is just a flashback for the Spurs. The 32-year-old Duncan's physical strength has begun to decline, and he cannot maintain his long-term high-intensity play.

D'Antoni also knew this, and sat unhurriedly on the Knicks coach's bench, and even had the confidence to chat with the assistant coach next to him.

With 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Duncan couldn't bear it anymore, and his offensive and defensive efficiency dropped significantly.

In one of the Knicks' offenses, Duke was keenly aware that Duncan's footsteps began to slow down after speeding up his breakthrough. He was quick-witted and immediately made a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

Hit steadily.

As if this shot was a signal, the Knicks also seized this opportunity and played a wave of scoring climax.

In the next round, Duke used the cover of the United Arab Emirates to go inside again, and Duncan's defense gave the United Arab a chance to take advantage of it.

Duke, with long eyes on the back of his head, made a back pass, and Alian, who cut in, passed the ball and took advantage of the trend.

"Dunk!"

The basket howled.

Immediately after the Spurs' offensive round, the shot missed, and the Knicks launched a fast break, and finally Marion scored an open three-pointer.

On the Spurs side, Duncan continued to play his last remaining heat, and finally scored with a hook that bounced twice above the basket, breaking the 2-minute scoring drought.

With two points scored, there were 20 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, which belonged to the Knicks' final attack.

Seemingly knowing that the Knicks would finish the final attack time, George Hill and Mason did not pinch Duke again, allowing Duke to be transported to the top of the arc alone.

Duke dribbled the ball at the top of the key to kill time, until it suddenly started with 6 seconds left.

A sharp change of direction made George Hill stagger, but he didn't worry much in his heart, because he knew that Duncan would come forward to pinch at this time, and it was too late for Duke to choose to pass the ball.

When he finally stabilized his figure and wanted to attack Duncan back and forth, he was shocked to find that Duke did not choose to break through, but took another step back, opened the distance with him, and withdrew to three points outside of the line.

Immediately afterwards, he made a three-pointer under the watchful eyes of the audience.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc in the air.

"Shh!"

The wonderful sound came out, igniting the atmosphere of the audience again.

"Wow~~~~~~~~~"

With Duke's final three-pointer at the buzzer, the Knicks ended the second quarter with a 65-48 score.

Trailing by 17 points at halftime, the Spurs' hopes of a reversal became increasingly slim.
