The Bulls' shooting guard Keith Bogans, who came off the bench, was thrown away by George when he was defending without the ball.
Seeing that Pickle was about to catch the ball, in order to prevent him from dunking the ball directly, Bogans stepped in and tripped George directly.
This action was obviously directed at someone. Although it was a tactical foul, it put the offensive players at unnecessary risk.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded and the Bulls committed a defensive foul.
However, young George was angered by the opponent's rough foul.
He immediately got up from the ground and rushed to Bogans, wanting to argue with him.
Although George was a little angry at this time, he was still in a state of speaking but not taking action.
Although he cursed and cursed, he did not escalate the situation.
However, Bogans not only did not apologize or explain, but instead faced George who came over with a bull charge.
He was a head shorter than George, so this time he hit the latter's chest directly.
This action completely angered Pickle!
The next moment, George raised his hands and pushed Bogans out. The latter took a few steps back and then rushed back.
Conflict is about to break out!
The two of them started fighting each other, neither of them surrendering to the other.
The team members from both sides obviously did not expect that the conflict would intensify so quickly. After reacting, they quickly started to fight.
George was hugged by Tucker and pulled towards his own backcourt.
"Calm down, Paul! That person is deliberately irritating you and wants to exchange money with you. Don't be fooled!"
Although the shoe king is also a rookie in the NBA, he has been playing in European professional competitions for a long time.
This kind of trick has long been familiar to him.
But George had never been bullied like this before, and he was still furious at this time.
At the same time, McGrady on the bench looked at his little brother on the court with a calm face, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.
George has been training with him since the offseason.
After getting along for a long time, Paojiao not only learned a lot of technical moves, but his temper was also more or less influenced by Tracy McGrady.
Young fans may not know that during the Magic era, T-Mac's temperament was as good as his skills, and anyone dared to play with him.
The most classic time was during the game against the Nets, McGrady directly raised his fist after being fouled by Kenyon Martin.
You know, at that time, Martin was one of the most physically powerful power forwards in the league!
McGrady has a slender figure, and is much weaker in weight and strength than his opponent, but he is still not timid at all.
But the angry George now looks a bit like T-Mac back then!
While the referee was reviewing the video, Pickle was still yelling at Bogans from afar.
On the Bulls side, Rose sat on the bench expressionless, quietly waiting for the final result.
Obviously, this conflict did not affect his concentration at all.
Noah, who was next to him, showed a completely different state from Rose.
This center from France is definitely a weirdo.
What's strange about him is not only his shooting posture (38 posture), but also his hairstyle (a wonderful combination of ball head and pigtails).
In Shen Fei's view, Noah's style of play is somewhat similar to that of Dream Chaser Green.
He is defensive, passionate, and likes to mess with his opponent's mentality.
The only difference is probably that Noah rarely makes moves that hurt others, but Green does not.
At this moment, Noah was encouraging his teammates like crazy, screaming and roaring as he poured chicken soup to the teammates around him.
............
It didn't take long for the referees to make the final decision.
Because the physical conflict between the two parties was relatively fierce and both sides made extraordinary moves, they were both sentenced to a second-level flagrant foul and were directly expelled from the game.
After the referee made the penalty, the Toyota Center immediately erupted into loud boos.
“referee.sucks(黑whistle)!”
“referee.sucks!”
“referee.sucks!”
.......
Rockets fans are understandably angry.
After all, the instigator of this conflict was Bogans, and George did not take action directly after being tripped.
He just stepped forward to argue, but was attacked by the opponent.
In other words, George only made some counterattacks throughout the whole process and did not take the initiative.
"I personally think...it's no problem if Bogans is sent off. Paul George can just call a technical foul. There is no need to send him off."
Yu Jia commented appropriately.
"Yes, both are sentenced to death. How can we distinguish the seriousness of the two fouls? Bogans is obviously the more egregious one."
"But the referee has made his judgment and will definitely not change it."
"This is obviously the Rockets' home court. Not only is there no home whistle, but the whistle is more beneficial to the Bulls."
Yang Yi said helplessly.
............
His eyes returned to the field.
When George learned of the final penalty, he had calmed down from his anger.
He lowered his head, silently chanted in unison, and prepared to walk to the players' tunnel.
McGrady stood up, patted George on the back and said, "I will take care of the game."
"Um."
George nodded, knowing that McGrady would help him next.
In order to support their players, Rockets fans chanted George's name in unison:
"Paul!"
"Paul!"
"Paul!"
George raised his head, waved to the fans, then took off the white arm guard on his right hand and threw it into the stands.
At the same time, the Rockets bench.
Mark Jackson looked deep into the bench and said, "Jeremy, you come on for Paul."
The next moment, a yellow-skinned figure jumped up from the bench.
Jeremy Lin, who has been away from the NBA for a long time...is back!
Previously, in order to facilitate Curry's trade, Mark Jackson gave the backup guard position to Lawson, and Hao was sent to the Development League.
Times have changed, Lawson is still away from Golden State, and Curry who joined is still unable to play.
Shu Hao once again waited for his opportunity!
With his appearance, the Rockets' lineup changed again. The five players on the court at this time were - Shu Hao, Roy, Danny Green, Tucker and Anderson.
On the other hand, the Bulls sent Rose, Brewer, Luol Deng, James Johnson and Joakim Noah.
If we only analyze based on the book lineup, the Rockets are obviously at a disadvantage.
After all, the five players they have on the court have only joined the team this season, and three of them are playing in the NBA for the first time.
"Whether the Rockets can maintain their advantage during this period will be the key to whether the Rockets can win today."
"To be honest, this Bulls lineup is definitely going to chase points. I think Mark Jackson is a little too confident. In some games, you can't let the stars rest for so long."
The two CCTV commentators both look down on the current Rockets.
In the stands, the fans were also somewhat silent.
They very much hope that after the conflict breaks out, the team can give the opponent a strong response.
But the current lineup...is really a bit uncompetitive!
When everyone was not optimistic about the Rockets, there was one person who looked relaxed, as if he had a chance to win.
