Chapter 128 I Gave You a Chance, but You Failed
Because the player was injured, the game was suspended in the last few seconds of the first quarter, and the referee had a headache as to how to call the foul.
First up is Laimbeer... Although the referee also knows this guy's style of play, he knows that his stepping is too hidden, and it is difficult to determine whether it is a subjective and deliberate move to hurt people. It can be called, but if it is not called, it will be fine. It makes sense, after all, Li Shengli was not injured.
And Li Shengli's slap... was even more subtle, and it directly paralyzed Laimbeer. Although it looked like a backhand action after shooting, but the backhand action can have such great power, who would let it go? Believe it?
How to blow it?
After some discussion, the referee decided to make peace.
It was determined that Laimbeer had deliberately injurious actions, and he was called a technical foul. In addition, in addition to his current state, he will not be able to play in the next game, so this neither a minor nor a serious foul can soothe the irritable mood of the fans. Come down, the Pistons can't talk nonsense.
As for Li Shengli...'acquitted'!
Although Ranbir was paralyzed and looked very desolate and heart-wrenching, in the final analysis he was the one who started the fight. Moreover, Li Shengli's counterattack was natural and there was no trace of malice. If you really want to accuse Li Shengli of being a criminal, that would be completely wrong. It doesn't make sense, and the crazy fans at the scene will probably destroy their jobs.
After the penalty was given, the scene was filled with excitement, and Li Shengli returned to the court with the support of Curry and Bogues.
However... for the purpose of protecting Li Shengli's reputation, Hornets coach Alan decided to play it out to the end and did not let the "injured" Li Shengli continue to play. Although Laimbeer was paralyzed, this is great news for the entire league. , but Ranbir can be a villain, Alan didn't want Li Shengli to become such a notorious villain in the eyes of the public, so he decided to let Li Shengli be forcibly 'injured', and Gominsky temporarily replaced Li Shengli.
On the one hand, it is considered as giving Li Shengli a rest to reserve his physical strength, but on the other hand, he is currently leading by 15 points and the situation is excellent. If the score is evened in the next game, it will not be too late to let Li Shengli play again.
think about it……
If you get hurt while doing harm to the people, you are a hero!
Having to fight despite being injured adds a touch of heroism to the hero!
This kind of tough guy image is simply a born high-quality basketball idol. Compared with a scum like Laimbeer, there is a world of difference.
…
"Come on, avenge Li!"
When he got the chance to play, Gominski roared excitedly and jumped up. The fans who didn't know what was going on saw their players' resentful attitude, and they all filled up their energy and shouted wildly.
"Revenge, you must take revenge, smash the piston!"
"Break the piston and get them out!"
"Fight them, fight them, avenge Li!"
In an instant, the entire arena was boiling again, and the players and coaches on the Pistons side were going crazy... They felt aggrieved and had nowhere to vent.
Break us?
Apart from Ranbir, we didn’t do much?
Damn, what kind of fans are these! Devil, Charlotte Arena... This is definitely the scariest Devil's home stadium in the NBA!
…
In the end, the game had to continue. Gominski made a free throw after the foul. Due to time constraints, the Hornets, who had the ball, failed to score the final goal. The score in the first quarter was 36:20. , the Hornets led by 16 points.
In the next game, Li Shengli became a complete idler.
Because the situation was so good, and the fans roared wildly to support the game, the Hornets became more and more courageous as they fought. The Pistons were in the quagmire, and the referees increased the scale of the whistle. They did not want any more accidents, which greatly restricted the Pistons' brutal defense and allowed the Hornets to Taking advantage of the right time, place, people and people.
…
Finished the first half.
Gominski did not have Li Shengli's rebounding dominance, and the Pistons replaced Dennis Rodman, a small power forward and rebounding genius. When the two sides competed for rebounds, the Hornets were at a disadvantage, but... Curry was The more you play, the smoother you get, no matter how hard you throw.
The feel of this thing is very strange. When my hands are cold, I can't make a shot from the air, but when my hands are hot, I can throw it against the defense with my eyes closed. Obviously Curry showed off his power, scoring 12 points alone in the second quarter. The score between the two sides was 60:40, and the point difference reached 20 points.
…
Intermission.
Head coach Alan was so happy that he didn't need to talk about any tactical arrangements at all, because if the players played smoothly, they could just let go and the extra nonsense would actually affect their performance.
Play, play whatever you want!
piston? I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it. I didn’t even use Li Shengli’s trump card, and you collapsed!
In the third quarter, the Hornets' lead was knocked back to 15 points.
In the fourth quarter, the 15-point difference was lost and reduced to 10 points, but it was enough to win the game with a 10-point lead. The score between the two sides was 118:108.
Although Li Shengli only played for one quarter, his data of 4 points + 15 rebounds + 6 blocks + 2 assists undoubtedly gave the Hornets a good start.
Bogues was in great form, scoring 18 points, 12 assists, and 4 steals. Johnson also scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, and the one that deserves the most attention is...Curry.
He originally served as the Hornets' sixth man and did not start a single game last season. However, he averaged 26 minutes per game, averaged 13.5 shots per game, and shot 48.6% from the field. This shows the importance of the Hornets. In this game... Curry's touch was very hot. He made 13 of 20 shots and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points alone and set a personal single-game scoring record. He was very proud of himself.
Actually speaking...the Pistons shouldn't be like this, but what can't be helped is that the Bad Boys Legion, which was once prosperous, no longer has its former glory.
After winning the championship for two consecutive seasons in 1988-89 and 1989-90, he was defeated by the Chicago Bulls 4:0 in the second round of the playoffs in the 1990-91 season. In the 1991-92 season, he lost to the New York Knicks in the first round. , and at the current pace, it is estimated that even the playoffs will be difficult.
Two consecutive championships, second round, first round!
The best will inevitably decline, declining year by year. This is the current state of the Pistons, and this game... not only lost the ball, but also lost all face. He has always been dirty when he sees anyone, and he will hit anyone with an axe. Laimbeer, who had just defeated Kendall Gill in the previous game against the Hornets, was actually paralyzed by Li Shengli this time.
Is this retribution?
…
Finally, the game is over.
The entire Pistons team left the field angrily amid the crazy roar of the fans that lasted a whole game. Isaiah Thomas stared closely at Li Shengli on the Hornets side...another arrogant first-year rookie? Can this kid be shortlisted for this year's All-Star Game?
"Asshole, if this kid makes it to the All-Stars, then I will definitely give him a good look!" Thinking of this, Thomas made up his mind and determined to find a few people to educate Li Shengli and tell him...NBA, It's not just about fighting and killing, it also has...humanity!
"Just wait and see, kid, you brought this on yourself!"
