Legend of Tomorrow

The Spurs narrowly won the first game by 5 points, causing the Warriors to lose their home court advantage. However, they couldn't be happy because their star Kawhi Leonard suffered a serious ankle injury and was eliminated for the season.

Warriors substitute big man Pachulia stepped in at 7 minutes and 17 seconds in the final quarter, which changed the situation of the series.

As long as the Spurs lose Leonard's strong point, they will completely lose their competitiveness. They will only have role players on the outside, and the ones who are good at scoring are veterans who lack physical strength.

Pachulia later said that he did not mean it and believed that he was not a dirty player. However, according to the replays of the scene, the two steps he took earlier were unnecessary. In addition, Pachulia had several times. He has a record of flagrant fouls, which led the outside world to believe that his actions were intended to intentionally injure Leonard.

Online, both fans and the media unanimously criticized Pachulia's dangerous move. Spurs coach **Vic even directly criticized Pachulia, saying that his behavior was unsportsmanlike.

**Vicci said the action was intentional and mentioned Pachulia's dark history, saying he was very angry.

When interfering with a shot, he knew he couldn't cover it but took two more steps to stretch his foot out for the opponent to step on. The Spurs swingman Bruce Bowen was the best at this trick in the past. **Vitch is very familiar with this routine.

However, the league did not impose any additional penalties for Pachulia's malicious actions, and commissioner Adam Silver did not issue any statement, as if he was unaware of the incident.

This matter is not over yet. The next day, Guo Xu, unwilling to be left alone, stepped forward to grab the headlines.

A Los Angeles reporter interviewed Guo Xu and asked him to comment on Leonard's injury.

Ordinarily, this had nothing to do with Guo Xu, and there was no need to say harsh words to offend people, but he said categorically: I watched the video, and there is no doubt that Pachulia did it on purpose.

The reporter asked: Why do you say that?

Because Pachulia in the parallel world also stepped in, but the time was different, and he didn't mean it every time?

It was impossible for Guo Xu to say that. He said seriously: All players have stepped on others and been stepped on. Under normal circumstances, the person who is stepped on will pause and react a little to see what happened. But Pachulia He ran back without any pause, do you think this is normal?

The reporter immediately replied: Not normal.

Guo Xu nodded and said: Pachulia's series of movements were smooth and smooth. I have studied psychology in order to play a good role, and I think this is a psychological state of escaping from the 'crime scene'. This shows that he does not want to face it at all. What happened, he clearly realized the seriousness of the matter, but he still didn't look back.

The reporter believes that there is really something wrong with this matter. Can you explain it in detail?

Guo Xu smiled and said: When people commit crimes of passion, they will want to flee the crime scene immediately to clear themselves of suspicion. That's why Pachulia ran towards his own half without looking back until the referee blew the whistle. . And what did he do after that? He held his head and jumped twice in an exaggerated manner.

Guo Xu imitated Pachulia's actions and then said: For example, if you are caught stealing something and others suspect you, you will react more strongly than those who are not suspected. We can put this series His actions were understood to mean that Pachulia could foresee that he would hurt Leonard.

He also wanted to express his innocence by holding his head.

The reporter asked: Then how do you evaluate Pachulia?

This is a scumbag. If it were up to me, he would definitely be suspended. The Spurs are in a disadvantageous situation and will definitely be eliminated by the Warriors. We will also be in danger in the next round. It is already a headache to prevent Green from doing evil things. This year the Warriors have another person like this, and we are really under a lot of pressure. No one wants to be seriously injured and have to rest for more than half a year, which may affect the player's entire career.

Guo Xu is not familiar with Leonard, but he is willing to speak justice to this star who should have a bright future. In the memory of his previous life, Leonard was seriously injured and barely played in the 2017-18 regular season.

A person who should have become one of the top five players in the league, but because a player with a minimum salary like Pachulia is seriously injured, if he cannot return to the top in the future, it will undoubtedly be a big loss to the basketball world.

This bastard didn't even get a flagrant foul? You actually said you didn't mean it and let it go? Are Xiao Hua's eyes used to vent his anger?

Silver's eyes can only see the people he wants to praise. He doesn't like the Spurs and Leonard. He thinks they don't play well and their ratings are not as good as the Warriors. He didn't want the Warriors' reputation to become bad and wanted to downplay the matter, but Guo Xu's words disrupted his plan.

This well-founded analysis directly made the news headlines. Not many fans originally paid attention to Leonard, but now everyone has begun to discuss this matter. The Warriors were thrust into the spotlight, with fans saying they played dirty. Coach Mark Jackson was also suspected of teaching players dirty play in training.

ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy is 100% certain that Pachulia deliberately did not give Leonard room to land. He said: This should be a flagrant foul. It's too dirty, especially since Leonard's ankle has been twisted before.

The famous reporter Skip Bayless, who has the reputation of being the number one James blacklist, saw this scene and furiously attacked Pachulia on Twitter.

He is definitely the MVP of this game for the Warriors. Continue to carry your team with this kind of behavior. To be honest, he did that kind of action and pretended to be innocent, which made me sick to my stomach. This is definitely a dirty act. , obviously he was going for Leonard’s injured ankle.”

People are not dissing the Warriors. For two consecutive seasons, Draymond Green has received the most technical fouls in the league. Pachulia is also full of misdeeds.

In professional basketball, there are many side-by-side techniques, and many people apply these techniques to perfection. But most players use small movements to defend not to hurt others, but at most to provoke the opponent, making the opponent lose control of their emotions and commit a foul or hit, taking the opportunity to pretend to be innocent, so that the opponent is wronged and sent off by the referee, etc.

Even in the 1980s and 1990s, fights and conflicts were common in the NBA, and players rarely made moves that would cost their opponents. After a serious foul, there is usually a protective action, and it is rare to intentionally hurt someone and destroy their job.

Once this kind of intentional injury occurs, it will be notorious in the NBA league and fan circles. For example, former Spurs player Bowen often intentionally hurts people.

For athletes, injuries are the biggest enemy. No matter how good an athlete's physical talent is and how high his talent is in sports, once he is injured, his condition will be affected.

Now Pachulia's intentional injury is even more serious and harmful than Bowen's. His intentional injury is not an occasional act, but a habit. So far, he has intentionally hurt others no less than 10 times in his career, and some of his videos and background have been uncovered by fans. This is very convenient in the Internet age.

After reading the comments and videos on the Internet, Leonard suddenly felt that he was too stupid. He had previously accepted an interview and said that he believed Pachulia did not do it on purpose? This guy must die!

Due to the pressure of public opinion, the NBA also invited psychological experts to analyze Pachulia's stepping down. The results were almost the same as Guo Xu's analysis. The league instead suspended Pachulia for two games and fined him $25,000 for a second-degree flagrant foul.

Pachulia will definitely not get a contract extension after this season. Does the Warriors management still dare to ask for him? As long as he stays in the team, the others will have to be scolded...
