Chapter 512
The Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang pushed forward and directed Boozer to go to the low post to ask for the ball.
Boozer was a little surprised. Although he has the ability to play low-post singles, he has very few opportunities to play. But now he needs to play from the inside out to defeat the opponent's defense. He needs to score in singles inside. , Boozer got a low singles opportunity.
Boozer fell to the low position, Kurt Thomas disdain the rookie in front of him, and wanted to push Boozer out with his own impact, but Kurt Thomas found that he couldn't push it!
Don't look like Boozer is a rookie, but he is almost 22 years old. He is the heaviest insider group of the Eagles except for Ratliff. Of course, he weighs 118 kilograms, a full 260 pounds. This is his defensive end. One of the reasons is that he can't prevent breakthroughs, but he is very powerful in one-on-one defense against the opponent's inside line, blocking, pick-and-roll, etc. under the basket! That's why he can get so many rebounds at a height of 2.06 meters.
Boozer excitedly pressed Kurt Thomas for the ball. Liu Mang accurately lobbed the ball into Boozer's hands. Shoot, take a step forward, Boozer's defensive pace is slow, but his offensive pace is really fast, he strides to the other side of the three-second zone and jumps and throws while running! Harnington didn't even have time to make up the defense, and watched Boozer squeeze Kurt Thomas to make a throw!
Kurt Thomas, already furious when he couldn't push Boozer, pushed Boozer hard when Boozer was shot, and Boozer was shoved when he jumped up. , but the movement of the right hand is very stable, the core strength is very strong, and he threw the ball into the basket when he lost his balance!
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and Kurt Thomas made a defensive foul!
After Boozer stood firm, he couldn't help but let out a roar!
Finally another ability has been reused!
As a player of the Eagles, Boozer is very clear that as long as he can show his ability, as long as he is strong enough, others will give him a chance to perform, because the players of the Eagles are not so keen on personal data.
Excited Boozer stood still and heard the referee's whistle. He couldn't help but let out a roar, turned around and punched "air".
From Boozer's point of view, he was punching the air, because the outside space was wide open. When he stood still, he saw Raheem stepping on the three-point line in the left corner, and Prince was in the right corner. Liu Mang just passed the ball from outside the three-point line, and Kurt Thomas, Ratliff, and Harnington were all still in the three-second zone. In Boozer's perception, there was no one around. Man, so he punched hard...just... Boozer probably forgot that there is a role of referee on this court.
After blowing the foul whistle, the referee who had just walked up from the bottom line and gestured to the technical table, which was more effective than scoring a goal, saw a huge body pressing towards him, and punched him...
Everything happened in just over a second, from the roar after landing to turning around and punching, the movements were very coherent, everything was so unexpected.
Liu Mang watched Boozer score a goal from beyond the three-point line, roaring, turned around and punched the chubby referee in the stomach...
There is a joke among fans that the strongest athletes in the NBA are not the players, but the referees.
If the referee wants to run with the players, he needs the eyesight of the air force, and he also needs excellent fighting skills. When the players are fighting, they need to pull people away from the uniform and prevent them from continuing to fight...
When the referee was still gesticulating when Boozer threw a punch, the sense of life-threatening from the depths of his soul made him subconsciously poke his butt up and take a step back. Boozer's punch Slid over the referee's belly.
The referee escaped the danger of being crippled by a punch by this giant of nearly 120 kilograms, but in the eyes of others, it was the referee who was punched by Boozer so that his ass was pouted!
Because of Boozer's big moves, everyone saw the punching action. Even the fans who were booing the referee for this foul were stunned, and everyone was dumbfounded!
Liu Mang spat out all the Chinese swear words, Boozer is too stupid! To actually hit the referee, is this revenge for Raheem? Raheem was pushed to the bottom corner by Sprewell's rough defense, and the referee didn't give a whistle.
However, you have to play a private one-liner!
At this moment, Boozer's image in Liu Mang's mind became a brother Zhishen who held a Buddhist scripture in his hand but never read it.
The Eagles players hurriedly surrounded the referee. Boozer was excited and didn't know what he had done to the referee. They all came up to ask if there was anything wrong. The two assistant referees also rushed over, and the technical table The doctor on call also ran over.
The Knicks players all dispersed, not wanting to be involved in the incident caused by the Eagles, and by the way, they were watching the fun by the melon-eating crowd.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it, me, me, me..." Boozer was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.
One second of heaven and one second of hell, talking about Boozer's current mood, and the rest of the Eagles are also terrified. This referee, even if it was unintentional, must be put on shoes!
However, the Eagles players surrounding the referee, as well as the assistant referee and doctor who had just run over, actually saw the referee laughing! It's still the kind of smile that looks like it can't help but laugh!
The referee had just "nearly escaped from death", and he was still terrified and very angry. At that time, he wanted to expel Boozer from the field, mainly because of Boozer's face, which had a face of "I did it on purpose". The referee subconsciously thought it was intentional, but fortunately the referee remained calm and held back.
However, when the referee saw that there was such a big movement, a group of people surrounded him. The Eagles players were so frightened, especially Boozer, who stuttered. I can't keep my cool anymore, I can't help but laugh.
The players around the referee and the fans on the sidelines didn't expect that the referee who had just been beaten was actually laughing. Was he stupid?
The referee realized that he had lost his composure, quickly stopped his smile, signaled that he was fine, asked Boozer to make a free throw, and then continued to make half-way gestures to the technical table. If the goal is valid, an additional penalty will be added.
Everyone was dumbfounded, is the referee okay?
The referee didn't explain it either. If he explained too much, he wouldn't be a referee. He had to maintain his majesty, let the doctor go back, and let the assistant referees go to their respective positions.
This is the end?
Boozer walked to the free throw line in a daze.
Liu Mang and the other Eagles players were shocked. The referee is worthy of being a referee. He can run faster than the players, and he is stronger than the players when fighting. And it was a punch from that big guy in Boozer, it was too strong!
The Knicks players were dumbfounded, so it's over? Anyway, give a technical foul!
Is there anything wrong with hitting the referee?
There is something shady!
As everyone knows, the referee was very dissatisfied with the Knicks players at this time. The referee's eyes were very good, very good. He saw clearly just now. The team doctors on the Eagles bench came up, but the Knicks players were actually watching.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, players can care about the referees, but there's nothing wrong with not caring, it's not part of the game.
But the referee is also a human being. Although he is very professional, it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied with the Knicks players in this game.
At one point in the middle of the game, Boozer thought something serious happened. Boozer watched the referee several times in a row. At first, the referee thought the kid was really nice. Although he looked like the terrorist from the base, he seemed to have a good heart. The worried look is not only afraid of hitting the referee and being sent out, but also has a kind feeling.
So Boozer has been hesitant to shoot. The referee was still urging Boozer to make free throws quickly, but seeing Boozer still like that, the referee couldn't help it, and made a countdown gesture. If you fail to shoot after the 5-second countdown, you will be violating free throws.
Boozer hurriedly made a free throw, but he still had lingering fears. When the penalty was added, his hands shook and he didn't make it.
Kurt Thomas grabs the defensive rebound, passes the ball to Eisley, and the Knicks attack.
Although it was unexpected and somewhat dissatisfied with why the referee didn't say anything about Boozer's behavior of "hitting the referee" just now, the Knicks players will definitely not call the foul if they don't call it, so let's put this matter aside , After Eisley was transported to the frontcourt, they continued their positional offensive.
First of all, Eisley still wanted to pass the ball to the madman Sprewell, but Raheem got into a fight with Sprewell today, chasing Sprewell crazily. How to fight back.
However, Raheem has a little worry, that is, he has already received a defensive foul, and when Sprewell caught a chance to run back, Eisley immediately passed the ball, and Raheem rushed towards Si Prewell pressed up and knocked Sprewell into a stagger. When Sprewell received the ball, he was knocked away, and the ball passed beside Sprewell to the baseline.
The referee whistles!
Raheem wailed, and coach Kruger on the sidelines couldn't help but hug his head.
However, the referee did not call a foul! The referee made a penalty one step ahead and passed the ball out of bounds! The Knicks made a mistake!
Such a big move did not call a foul?
The fans started booing the referee again.
Sprewell was ignited all of a sudden and roared at the referee. The Knicks quickly stopped Sprewell. Revell also came and came, and was 100% punished because the cliff was malicious.
Sprewell commits two!
Knicks head coach Don Cheney wanted to replace Sprewell, and was about to signal to the referee to make a substitution.
Sprewell was unwilling and yelled at Don Cheney: "Get out! I won't go down!"
Don Cheney was frightened by that despondent look. This guy had a history of choking the head coach. Don Cheney immediately stopped changing players.
Don Cheney cared more about his own life than Sprewell might cause trouble on the court. After all, the head coach of the Knicks, no matter who the coach was, couldn't be there for a few years. He couldn't die for a job!
Seeing Sprewell's upturned braid seemed to stand on end with anger, Liu Mang just felt lucky that Raheem was not called a foul, and felt another crisis, which was this opponent whose head was easily congested.
Liu Mang called Raheem over and told him to be careful of the other party's black hands. Raheem also knew about Sprewell's previous convictions. At that time, the Warriors were one of the most promising teams in the West, and then they collapsed directly. Sprewell also went from a second-defense superstar of the new generation of Jordan's successor to a point where the Warriors didn't even want him to play. 97 -In the second half of the 1998 season, Sprewell was suspended for all games, and then the lockout ended. The Warriors directly traded Sprewell to the Knicks.
Of course, whether Liu Mang or Raheem agrees with Sprewell's strength, he is really powerful. He helped the Knicks from eighth in the Eastern Conference all the way to the finals in his first year in the Knicks. The Knicks played best in the playoffs was Sprewell, who was the team's scoring leader in the playoffs. If the Knicks won the championship, the FMVP would be Sprewell's. It has a half-money relationship with Ewing. Because it was reimbursed a long time ago, it all relied on the finals that Sprewell and Alan Houston reached.
Facing this kind of powerful opponent who could easily lose control, Raheem and Liu Mang were very afraid. Hearing Liu Mang's order, Rahim took Liu Mang's order very seriously, and was very careful that he would be blackhanded by the opponent in a short while.
but……
After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, the situation changed suddenly, from Liu Mang worrying about Raheem to Raheem worrying about Liu Mang.
As soon as Liu Mang crossed the three-point line, he saw Sprewell push Eisley away and came to defend himself outside the three-point line!
Liu Mang seemed to feel that he had an unclear relationship with the huskies. Damn it, it wasn't the young master who pushed you, so go guard against Rahim! What are you doing, Mr. Fang!
