Chapter 905 The younger brother does evil, and the older brother comes to pay him back
In the face of a long period of abuse and boos, Green continued to shake his head, with an innocent face, looking like an innocent child who had been wronged by hateful passers-by, and kept saying:
"That's not a foul, that's really not a foul."
This is the common routine used by all Dirty 13s: first try to defend desperately, wait for the opponent to take action, then quietly move your feet to the opponent's feet. At the same time, make a look to look back at the basket.
During this process, you must not look at the opponent's feet. If the referee blows the whistle, an innocent expression will immediately appear on his face, and he will continue to complain to the referee: "I am the victim!"
There is no doubt that Green was possessed by the Oscar winner at this moment. Even though the scene of Batum being stepped on was constantly replayed on the big screen, he insisted that he did not do it on purpose.
When an average player is defending, after the opponent takes the ball, it is impossible to continue to move toward the offensive player unless his body is out of control.
But Green took a step forward when Batum had already dunked.
Perhaps because he felt it was not in place, he continued to move one step forward.
Only then did the scene just happen!
The most irritating thing is that he acted innocently in the end, as if he was the biggest victim.
The fans couldn't bear it any longer, and the Rose Garden Arena erupted into a chorus of curses:
"Step dog! Get out!"
"Step dog! Get out!"
"Step dog! Get out!"
…
Coach Terry, who had been standing in the replay center, began to analyze this action:
"Draymond Green's last step was an unnecessary action! According to regulations, unnecessary actions, if the consequences are serious, whether intentional or unintentional, can be punished with a first-level flagrant foul!"
However, the on-site referee unexpectedly gave an eye-popping result - a common foul!
"Oh, no!"
"Are you serious?"
"SB referee, are your eyes hidden under your buttocks?"
"..."
The fans shook their heads and continued to question and insult. Obviously, this penalty did not satisfy them.
Magic Johnson in the commentary box said: "How could this not be a flagrant foul? My God, Draymond Green clearly entered the landing area of Batum. What a bad call!"
Kenny Smith also said: "That was a conference foul. In most cases, the referee should call a flagrant foul, but this time... eh!"
In the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh.
But the referee ignored it and still upheld the original decision.
The basis of the on-site referee is: According to NBA rules, unless there is a particularly obvious step, there will generally be no lack of flagrant fouls.
Because of this kind of stepping, it is difficult to judge whether the defender is intentional or unintentional.
After explaining to the head coaches of both sides, the game was announced to continue.
Since the Warriors had accumulated enough fouls in the previous quarter, the Trail Blazers got two free throw opportunities.
Wang Zelin hit two extra free throws for the team, bringing the point difference back to double digits.
But these two free throws are really meaningless compared to Batum's injury.
The Warriors were serving from the backcourt, and he stared intently at the guy at the far end of the court who was still pretending to be innocent.
His fists gradually clenched.
Old Carter, who had just been replaced, saw this and patted Wang Zelin's chest: "Don't be impulsive, man."
Of the Trail Blazers' second and third substitutes tonight, Richard Jefferson has not played a few minutes in the playoffs and has completely entered retirement mode; Connett Lee and Morrow are not online tonight.
, the performance is average.
On the contrary, the old Carter, whose love for basketball has become more and more enthusiastic as he gets older, scored two three-pointers in the first three quarters.
After Batum was injured, the 39-year-old Carter replaced him at the third position.
Wang Zelin still stared at Green and said: "If you have a chance, pass the ball to me!"
When Old Carter saw that Wang Zelin seemed to be really impulsive, he shook his head slightly.
When it comes to being stepped on, I'm afraid no one has more say than the old Carter. After all, he was stepped on by Bruce Bowen one after another during his peak period. His athletic ability declined rapidly, making his originally promising career gradually become bleak.
Light.
Accustomed to seeing big winds and waves, old Carter can always keep calm in the arena: "We are ten points ahead, the situation is great, calm down, king!"
The subtext is: Don't ruin the game because of impulsiveness.
It is undeniable that staying calm at all times on the court is one of the essential lessons for an excellent leader.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Zelin rarely gets angry.
But this world is different from the past. His teammates were maliciously stepped on. If he didn't respond forcefully, would he have to keep this bad breath in his heart?
He was afraid of internal injuries.
In addition, Mr. Lu Xun once said: If you are not energetic, can you still be called a young person?
I want to win the game, but I also want to vent my anger!
Seeing the burning anger in Wang Zelin's eyes, Old Carter didn't say anything, just patted Wang Zelin on the back and walked away silently.
However, there was still a hint of warmth in his heart.
For the sake of the overall situation, he naturally didn't want Wang Zelin's reason to be burned away by anger and make some outrageous actions.
But as a teammate, seeing that Wang Zelin was determined to vent his anger for the injured Batum, he would also agree with both hands and feet.
Soon, the Warriors reached the frontcourt.
Through continuous off-ball movements, Curry's defender became old Carter, and Green passed the ball decisively, allowing Curry to get a one-on-one opportunity.
It is worth mentioning that Curry’s father, Dell Curry, moved to the Raptors at the end of his career and was teammates with Carter at his peak during the season. This made Carter have a close personal relationship with the Curry father and son and the two Curry brothers.
good.
It can be said that Carter watched the Curry brothers grow up and often hugged Curry when he was a child, so Curry affectionately called Carter his uncle in private.
However, the arena is like a battlefield. Neither Curry nor Carter have any intention of reminiscing about the past at this moment. One is working hard to attack and the other is working hard to defend.
The reality is very cruel. The 39-year-old Uncle Carter's defense was full of loopholes in front of the young Curry, and he easily got rid of the defense after several changes of direction.
At this moment, Wang Zelin had already made up his mind.
But Wang Zelin came to defend from the side. Curry stopped suddenly and was about to take off. His eyes were full of confidence.
At this position, it's too late to block him.
As a super scorer, not only three-pointers, but also emergency mid-range shots are Curry's specialty.
The next moment, just as the ball was thrown from Curry's hand, Wang Zelin, who was rushing towards him, suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arm, and slapped the ball hard.
"Snapped!"
This block was fast, accurate and ruthless.
The basketball was swatted away and hit Curry in the face.
"ah--"
Another scream came from the field, making the surrounding fans tremble.
What happened again?
Don’t let anyone get hurt again!
When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw Curry letting out a painful cry and covering his bleeding face with both hands.
"hiss--"
This scene looks extremely bloody, at least in terms of visual effects, far more than Batum's ankle injury just now.
Someone actually saw blood on the court?!
The referee immediately lost his composure and quickly stopped the game.
Everyone hurriedly turned their attention to the initiator, only to find that Wang Zelin imitated Green in front, spreading his hands and showing an innocent look on his face.
