Chapter 1336 1335. He Was the One Who Broke up the Fight! (5/5)

Chapter 1336 1335. It was him who broke up the fight! (55)

With great purpose, Liu Mang avoided Artest's ability to defend mid-range shots and did not go to the basket. He pulled his shooting point to the free throw line.

When it came to competing for superstar ability, Liu Mang stood out.

McGrady also had a good grasp of the timing of cutting in and shooting.

However, the Spurs' offense was better than in the first quarter. Ginobili was there. The Spurs' offense had a third super threat. Duncan singled out Kwame Brown in the low post and shot from mid-range. Ginobili scored through and scored three-pointers. Parker's breakthrough shot...

With three horses, all in their prime, this was their most powerful year.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams fell into a tense stage.

A very crucial shot came at the last moment of the second quarter. Ginobili hit a fadeaway three-pointer against Prince, narrowing the gap to just 4 points!

53 to 49, the Hawks led by 4 points into the halftime break.

…

In terms of defense, the Spurs are still strong. In the second quarter, the Hawks only scored 24 points. The Spurs relied on Ginobili to lead the rotation lineup in the first half of the quarter to chase three points, and finally hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, scoring 30 points in a single quarter!

Ginobili scored 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Liu Mang was also cool!

It was the crucial third quarter.

In the third quarter, which was the easiest quarter to widen the score gap or overtake the score, both teams tacitly replaced the strongest lineup. The Spurs replaced the troika plus Artest and Oberto.

The Hawks replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

The Spurs were relatively familiar with the tactics that the Hawks had practiced for two afternoons in the first half. They might not be able to defend all of them, but they could provide more interference.

The Hawks are also very familiar with the Spurs' three-horse team's one-on-one play. The Spurs average about 98 points per game, and the three-horse team Duncan averages 21 points per game, Ginobili averages 17 points per game, and Parker averages 18 points per game. These three people account for almost 60% of the points!

But it is so difficult to defend the three-horse team. When Popovich hates three-pointers, the Spurs still have an average scoring ability, relying on the three-horse team.

Ginobili became a demon when he saw Liu Mang, and played better than usual. Duncan was teaching Kwame Brown how to defend him, which made Kwame Brown miserable. Parker also scored well without the ball when he cut to the basket with Ginobili on the court.

The scores of both teams were rising, and the score difference fluctuated around five points.

The key turning point came when the official timeout just came back in the third quarter. The Hawks launched a counterattack. When Marion counterattacked and cut to the basket, Ginobili, who had retreated to his position, could not stop Marion from rushing up. When Marion received the ball, he wanted to reach out and hug Marion's arm directly. As a result, his hand grabbed Marion's finger and pulled it...

Marion was pulled down directly, fell to the ground, and wailed while holding his hand.

This happened very suddenly. When Ginobili was young, he didn't play dirty. When he was old and couldn't keep up, he committed a lot of malicious fouls. When he was young, he made more offensive fouls. He just heard the sound of Marion's fingers being pulled by him!

The Hawks' counterattack players immediately surrounded Ginobili, and McGrady slapped Ginobili on the head.

Ginobili's foul action just now was an action made in excitement. Now his head is a little confused. He was slapped and immediately fought back.

It was too sudden!

The referee didn't expect that the two teams would suddenly fight each other when the game was so intense!

Moreover, Liu Mang and Jason Terry of the Hawks were ready to fight Ginobili, and they all surrounded him. The most important thing was that Artest rushed up!

The three referees immediately rushed up and tried to stop Artest, but they didn't have time. Just when the referees were about to despair, Artest stood between the Hawks and Ginobili like a sandbag and was punched by McGrady. Ginobili didn't react and also hit Artest's butt. He was about to retreat with a dip, but Liu Mang and Jason Terry pulled his clothes...

Artest hugged the three Hawks to prevent them from fighting Ginobili.

The scene was originally very excited, three against one!

Duncan ran over in a panic, mainly worried that Artest would start a fight.

Unable to catch up with Artest, Duncan quickly hugged Kwame Brown to stop the kid from fighting. Four against two... that would be too miserable!

The coaching staff of both teams held down the players on the bench. If they stood up at this time, they would be sent off.

But... even the three people who wanted to hit Ginobili were stunned...

They thought Artest was here to fight, but he was here to stop the fight!

The fans, Liu Mang, McGrady, Jason Terry, Spurs players, the desperate coach Popovich on the sidelines, and the three already desperate referees were all stunned for a moment.

Damn it!

Is this guy still Artest?

The referee reacted faster and went up to separate the two teams.

The referee looked at Artest strangely, who pulled Liu Mang and McGrady away after separating the two, and immediately gave the first penalty, Ginobili and McGrady were sent off.

McGrady started the fight first, but Ginobili fought back, and they really started fighting. When Liu Mang and Jason Terry were about to hit each other, Artest had already stopped them. There was only a pulling action. The details still need to be watched in the replay. The initial perpetrator and the first person to hit each other were sent off first, and both sides were given 50 boards. Let's stabilize the emotions of the two teams first.

When Kwame Brown and Duncan helped Marion up, the people around and the fans at the scene took a breath of cold air. When they were leaving and looked back at Marion's fingers, they all clenched their fists and hit their heads.

Marion's right index finger was 90 degrees sideways!

No wonder he screamed so painfully when he fell to the ground just now, which stimulated McGrady to go up and hit him!

The Hawks' team doctor came up to check immediately, and Liu Mang also heard the system prompt.

"Ding... Shawn Marion's second segment of the right index finger is dislocated, and the ligament is torn. The estimated recovery time is 6 weeks. 12 primary injury potions can be used to repair the injured ligament, and the recovery time is 14 days. Dislocation requires physical recovery, and the estimated recovery time is four weeks. Use 6 primary injury potions to repair the cartilage, and the recovery time is seven days. The knuckle fixation recovery time is nine days. Rapid recovery consumes 8,000 superstar points, and rapid recovery is not recommended."

Fortunately, it is a dislocation!

"Use 18 primary injury potions." Liu Mang did not hesitate.

But this kind of serious injury that can be seen directly by the eyes cannot be recovered quickly.

Physical recovery, that is, plaster and splint, so that the index finger does not move. Liu Mang has encountered this before, but he opened it after the three-day rest time when the team did not play.

The team doctor's preliminary examination also showed a dislocation. Although it was also a serious injury, the Eagles coaching staff was relieved. Dislocations also have different severity and need further examination.

Anyway, it's better than a broken bone. If it's a broken bone, don't even think about playing before the All-Star Weekend.

Of course, he can still play, but Marion's ring finger is already crooked and bent, and if he adds another one... the 38 push shot will definitely be affected.

The trouble is this game now!

Even if Marion has the slightest dislocation, he dare not let him continue to play. Marion still has three years of contract including this season, and it's Marion's peak period. We can't risk letting Marion play with an injury. He is a 12 million-a-year player and the third highest-paid star of the Hawks.

McGrady was sent off. Although the opponent also sent one off, the Hawks had two players who couldn't play!
