Chapter 232 Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice
At the end of the halftime game, the score on the big screen was 48 to 42, and the Mavericks entered the second half with a 6-point lead.
The Mavericks locker room during halftime.
Old Nelson patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Li, you played well. I am very pleased that you can calmly deal with the opponent's provocation."
"I know that group of guys won't let it go. In the second half, you have to be careful with that guy Bruce. He is notorious in the league and he will desperately attack you."
Hearing Old Nelson's advice, Li Xuan responded with a smile on his face: "Coach, don't worry, I will be careful."
Old Nelson nodded, and then called the players together to arrange offensive and defensive tactics.
On the other side, the Spurs locker room.
Popovich called Bowen and Horry aside alone and ordered some things.
"If you have a chance in the second half, make a decisive shot, don't procrastinate, we can't wait."
"That brat is quite cunning and won't be fooled, so if he attacks his teammates, it should also anger him."
Bowen and Horry nodded in understanding.
After Popovich laid out the plan, he called the players together and arranged the offensive and defensive tactics for the second half.
After a short 15-minute break, the second half began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks attacked wildly, and the Spurs lost consecutively.
After Duncan was taken out of the penalty area by Nowitzki, the Spurs' basket was left to be ravaged by Li Xuan.
When fighting for a rebound, Li Xuan got stuck and secretly elbowed Horry behind him, preventing him from jumping.
"It's impolite to come and go, is my elbow delicious?"
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he stood up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
On the sidelines, Popovich felt a little puzzled when he saw Horry's bewildering behavior.
"Why didn't you take such a good opportunity?"
If Horry knew what Popovich was thinking at this time, he would definitely refute.
"I was in so much pain that I was dying, so I didn't even bother to start."
In this way, Li Xuan, Bo Wen and Huo Li joined forces and hurt each other, and no one took any advantage.
When the third quarter was halfway through, Horry finally found a chance to play a black hand.
In one attack, Nash successfully steals Parker and takes the lead in rushing into the restricted area.
Huo Li, who quickly chased back, saw this situation, his eyes lit up.
"Pop, I did as you asked, you must protect me after the game!"
Immediately, he accelerated towards Nash, and there was no sign of slowing down.
If it is pursued after the game, Horry has already figured out how to defend himself in his mind.
It can be said that in order to prevent this attack, he rushed too fast and had no time to brake before hitting the opponent.
As for the result of knocking the opponent down, this is beyond his control, it is purely accidental.
When Nash flew to the basket, he caught a glimpse of a figure coming towards him from the corner of the eye, and his heart tightened, and he couldn't help cursing secretly.
"Fuck! They actually attacked me!"
At the same time, Li Xuan, who followed up, saw this scene and immediately understood the Spurs' conspiracy.
"Fuck! This group of guys are so despicable. If you can't find a chance to destroy me, you will hit my teammates!"
Li Xuan was extremely angry, thinking about how to resolve this crisis.
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
After thinking of a way, Li Xuan immediately speeded up, breaking out to keep pace with Huo Li at the fastest speed.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan collided with Huo Li from the side, and the two flew straight out of the baseline and fell hard on the pad under the basket.
Li Xuan has a free meat pad, no shit.
He didn't know if there was anything wrong with Hori who was pressed under him.
But from Huo Li's screams, Li Xuan judged that the fall should be serious.
On the other side, Nash made an easy layup without interference, and quickly ran forward to check the situation after landing.
He was the first witness to this incident, and he knew very well what happened just now.
"I hope Li is okay, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Nash anxiously looked at Li Xuan lying on the floor, praying in his heart.
At the same time, the referee blew his whistle, interrupted the game, and ran up to check the situation.
"I hope it will come in time, so that no conflict will break out."
Under the basket, Li Xuan lay on Huo Li and did not get up. The anger in his heart dissipated a lot, and Huo Li got the punishment he deserved.
"This is the price you pay for cheating on my teammates, rubbish!"
Li Xuan knew that Huo Li might have been instigated by someone, and the culprit had not yet been punished.
"How can I beat that old guy to vent my anger without being suspended?" Li Xuan leaned on Huo Li and thought about the problem.
Huo Li, who was pressed on the floor, was sweating in pain, unable to make a sound at all, and could only pray in his heart.
"Come on, someone! Pull this scourge away and save me!"
After a while, Nash ran to Li Xuan and asked, "Li, are you okay? Do you want to call the team doctor to check?"
"My body should be fine. I'll let Deke and the others pull me up later. You can't pull me up by yourself." Li Xuan responded with a teasing tone.
Nash breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but was very unconvinced by what Li Xuan said later.
In order to prove that he could do it, Lao Na forcibly pulled Li Xuan's arm, trying to pull Li Xuan up by himself.
When Nash was about to pull Li Xuan up, he suddenly lost his strength and let go of his hands, letting Li Xuan lie down again.
"Ouch!"
Huo Li, who was pressed under Li Xuan, let out a miserable cry.
"I just said you can't, wait for other people to come, otherwise people will think that we deliberately hurt this guy."
Li Xuan patted Huo Li under him, making him scream again.
Seeing this, Nash stopped trying and waited for his teammates to come forward to help.
At this moment, three referees and players from both teams rushed over.
Nash told the referee and his teammates what happened.
The Spurs players on the side also heard Nash's words and did not make a sound.
Subsequently, Li Xuan was pulled up by Nowitzki and Jamison.
"Good job!"
"This is what I should do. We are a team, and teammates should come forward when they need help."
Li Xuan exchanged a few words with Nowitzki.
The referee on the side pretended not to hear, stepped forward to inquire about Horry's situation, and then asked the Spurs team doctor to step forward to deal with it.
Seeing this situation, Popovich, who came to the bottom line with the team doctor, was overjoyed and immediately put pressure on the referee.
"This is simply murder, the murderer should be deported immediately!"
"Pop, I hope you don't make any more confusion. Your statement is quite different from Steve's description. We will check the replay of the specific situation and make a fair and just penalty." The bald referee Crawford responded.
"Do I still need to watch the replay? That kid obviously hurt people on purpose, and I can see it clearly."
Popovich did not intend to let Li Xuan go, such opportunities are rare, so he put pressure on the referee again.
"Pop, are you teaching me how to do things? If you dare to point fingers again, I will ask you to leave the arena."
Crawford gave Popovich a tough warning.
Seeing this, Popovich held back what he wanted to say, walked to the team doctor in desperation, and asked about Horry's situation.
"Pop, Robert's problem is not serious, it's just a slight fracture in his arm, and he can recover after two to three weeks of rest." The Spurs team doctor told the truth.
Popovich's face suddenly collapsed after hearing this.
This shit is not a big problem, Horry has almost bid farewell to this round of the series, okay? !
Losing an important role player in vain, without making the opponent pay the price, is purely a loss-making business.
The more Popovich thinks about it, the more he suffers, the anger in his heart!
After calming down, he quickly walked towards the bench, taking advantage of the interruption of the game to arrange tactics.
In the live commentary booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith were discussing the conflict intensely.
"Judging from the slow-motion playback, although Lee's actions are rough, he is protecting his teammates. We can see that Horry has no tendency to slow down at all. He is obviously heading towards Nash. We are very clear about the consequences. , very lucky to have a teammate like Lee in Steve.”
Barkley watched the replay on the big screen and defended Li Xuan.
"Charles, I agree with your point of view. If it were me, I would do the same to protect my teammates." Kenny Smith echoed.
On the field, the three referees learned the whole process of the incident through slow-motion playback.
After discussion, the referee Crawford made a penalty.
Nash's goal was effective, but Li Xuan was fined a first-level technical foul.
When the result of the penalty came out, boos were heard all over the audience, and the fans shouted for Li Xuan.
"Black whistle! What's wrong with Li protecting his teammates? The one who should be fouled should be the scum who wants to hurt people!"
"It's not fair! Li just slipped on his feet and bumped into that scum by accident. He shouldn't be punished at all."
"The scum who wants to hurt people should be expelled from the venue, we don't welcome vicious dogs here!"
……
On the other side, the Spurs coach Popovich was very dissatisfied with the penalty and shouted at the referee: "It's not fair! That murderer should be expelled from the field, you didn't see how much my player was injured ?!"
The bald referee Crawford didn't give Popovich any chance this time and directly called a technical foul.
Shame on the face, this time the penalty is obviously beneficial to the Spurs, and it is not satisfied.
I was still trying to find a way to appease the public anger, so you came to my door and just solved the problem, what a nice person!
When Popovich was called for a technical foul, the boos became quieter.
After this episode, the game continued.
Parker got to the free throw line and made two free throws.
In the boos of the audience, Parker scored 1 point in two free throws.
Subsequently, Nash performed free throws on behalf of the Mavericks.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Lao Na made two free throws and scored 2 points.
So far, this conflict has come to an end.
The Spurs had possession of the ball, and Parker dribbled the ball just over halftime when he was savagely pressed by Nash.
"Fuck! That guy Robert has aroused the blood of the Mavericks, and let us pay for him."
After Parker complained, he pushed Nash towards the three-point line.
Other Spurs players also felt the Mavericks' change, and the physical confrontation became more intense.
Near the low post on the right, Deng Daidai leaned firmly against Nowitzki to ask for the ball.
Now that the team is in the most difficult time, he should stand up as the core of the team.
When Duncan received the pass, Li Xuan quickly came to double-team, and when he was about to make physical contact with Duncan, he secretly gave Duncan an elbow.
A look of pain appeared on Duncan's calm face.
"Li, I didn't do it! You can't do this to me."
"Sorry, Tim, I didn't accept it. I will definitely accept it next time." Li Xuan responded with an apologetic tone.
After Duncan heard this, he immediately petrified.
There is still a next time for this Nima!I don't want to get elbowed again, it's so fucking painful.
Deng Daidai was afraid that Li Xuan would give him another elbow, and he was not sure that he could break the double-team.
So, he immediately passed the ball out and let his teammates attack.
Bowen received the pass and was switched by Lagabel. Without a chance, he passed the ball again.
After going around for a while, Duncan got the basketball again. Seeing that there was not much time to attack, he shot against Nowitzki's defense.
After the basketball hit the board, it bounced off the frame and missed.
Li Xuan retreated to the basket and grabbed the rebound, passed it to Nash to dribble and advance, and launched a defensive counterattack.
The Spurs' players bounced back, pinned down their defenders, and prevented the Mavericks from running a fast break.
Seeing that the fast break was not going to work, Nash slowed down and went outside the three-point line to organize the offense.
Li Xuan didn't make an empty cut to the basket. He was worried that Bo Wen would jump over the wall in a hurry, and if he kicked him, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Immediately, he quickly stepped forward to cover Nash.
Seeing that the pick-and-roll was ready, Nash immediately moved towards Li Xuan.
With the help of a screen, Lao Na quickly broke through to the basket.
When Parker bypassed the cover and went to chase, Li Xuan squeezed out deliberately.
Because Parker was chasing and defending with all his strength, his center of gravity was not very stable. When he was squeezed by Li Xuan like this, he was knocked to the ground directly.
Because Li Xuan's movements were very subtle, the referee didn't see the specific situation, thinking that Parker was a flop.
"Tsk tsk tsk, now I'm not playing dirty, it's time to touch porcelain. If it wasn't for the incident just now, I would have been really deceived by this kid."
The bald referee Crawford couldn't help but lamented Parker's superb acting skills, and it would be a pity not to become a Hollywood actor.
"Didn't you see that I was knocked to the ground? It's not a foul?" Parker complained to the referee.
"Sorry, I only saw you bump into Li's body, and then fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner. I didn't feel any suspicion of foul play."
Seeing that Parker was unwilling to give up, the referee explained.
"My Nima..."
Parker is so angry!
He was knocked over and was questioned by others for flopping, what a fucking injustice!
When Parker complained to the referee, Nash was left alone.
Lao Na directly made an emergency stop jumper to punish the Spurs.
"Good shot! The Mavericks extended the score to 10 points. The Spurs must prevent the Mavericks from continuing to expand their lead, otherwise the fourth quarter will not be easy to play."
Kenny Smith knew very well in his heart that whoever expands the point difference to double digits first in this game will win the final victory of the game.
In such a fierce physical confrontation game, it is almost impossible for the trailing side to play a wave of 10-0 offensive climax.
