Lin Yu stood up from the floor of the North Shore Garden Arena. Of course he was not injured.
Although Bowen's side impact was fierce, Lin Yu rolled twice after falling to the ground. By using the right amount of force relief from the roll, he avoided possible injuries.
The referee stopped the game, walked to the sidelines, and watched the replay video.
"China Lin was just chasing Manu Ginobili, but Bruce Bowen rushed directly towards him, with no intention of turning around. His intention was too obvious, he was going towards China Lin..."
"This is not the first time that Bruce Bowen has done such dirty things. He is already a habitual offender, so the referee will definitely punish this guy severely."
The referee watched the replay twice, and after repeated confirmation, he walked to the center of the court and gave Bruce Bowen a first-level flagrant foul.
The North Shore Garden Arena burst into boos, and Celtic fans thought this should be a second-level flagrant foul.
Doc Rivers on the sidelines also complained a few words, then stopped and sat back in his seat.
Lin Yu stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.
Then the Celtics sent a sideline ball, and it was Lin Yu who received the ball. He circled around the screen, went around the three-point line, and received Pierce's pass.
Defending him was Bruce Bowen.
This guy remained stubborn and kept making small movements in his hands.
Lin Yu wanted to copy the offensive foul, but he found that the referee and the two linesmen were already watching them.
Also, after the second quarter started, Bruce Bowen was knocked down by Lin Yu. Because Lin Yu was the one holding the ball, it was more like Bowen hit him himself, so Lin Yu was not punished.
Then Bruce Bowen knocked down Lin Yu with a very obvious collision and received a first-level flagrant foul.
After the two wrestled each other, any referee could see that there was something abnormal between Lin Yu and Bruce Bowen at this time. In order to avoid another Auburn Hills incident, they must always pay attention to these two dangerous people.
Lin Yu controlled the ball and refused any flagrant fouls or technical fouls because he did not want to be fined by the league after the game.
Bruce Bowen's defense has never been very clean. On this ball, his right hand kept hooking Lin Yu's arm.
With such a strange defensive posture, Lin Yu instantly thought of a special skill.
He then thought that in this game he had the attribute bonus of drawing fouls, so he could give it a try.
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and in the next second, Lin Yu's right hand holding the ball was raised upwards, and his left hand was also raised at the same time. His whole body jumped up quickly, and Bowen, who was holding Lin Yu's left arm, was stunned for a moment.
His arm couldn't be retracted in time, and it was hanging on Lin Yu's arm. He subconsciously pulled it down. Lin Yu had already jumped up and threw the ball.
It's just that Bruce Bowen hooked his arm, and the ball was obviously flawed.
The referee was stunned for a moment, waited for a second, and then blew the whistle.
Then he pointed at Bruce Bowen, indicating that his thug had committed a foul.
"Me? The thug committed a foul?" Bruce Bowen pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief. "He's trying to hit the mark, Mr. Referee!"
"No, it's obvious to me that your hand hooked his arm and interfered with his shot. Therefore, this is a hitting foul."
The referee explained.
Bruce Bowen couldn't bear it anymore and continued to pester the referee: "I just put my hand on his arm. That kind of action shouldn't be a foul!"
"Quiet, Bruce, if you do this again I will give you a technical foul." The referee warned Bruce Bowen, and Bowen could only helplessly spread his hands and retreat.
Lin Yu, who got two free throws for Pengci, went to the free throw line and made both free throws.
He made four consecutive free throws and scored four points, helping the Celtics take the lead. The lead was only two points.
"China Lin suddenly became a free throw superstar. He made four free throws in a row. Even the Spurs couldn't resist it."
Charles Barkley in the commentary box joked: "But it has to be said that if the referee had strictly blown the penalty, Bruce Bowen would have been sent off long ago."
After two consecutive defensive rounds, the Spurs finally ushered in their offensive round.
Duncan and Parker made some mistakes in their cooperation. The strong side failed to find an opportunity. The ball was passed to the weak side, and Ginobili singled out Lin Yu.
In this game, Ginobili's success rate in singles against Lin Yu dropped significantly compared to the last time the two met. As the game approached the end of the half, Ginobili made 3 of 8 shots and scored 7 points.
Lin Yu's various physical attributes with bonuses have played a role, which makes his defensive fault tolerance rate higher. No matter how amazing Ginobili's singles are, he can't easily defeat Lin who has received bonuses in all aspects.
Yu.
"Manu Ginobili made an emergency jump shot, China Lin interfered in place, the basketball hit the edge of the basket, and Big Al grabbed the rebound!"
Al Jefferson grabbed the rebound, and Lin Yu turned around and rushed towards the frontcourt. The "madness of seven games" brought him some obvious bonuses. Lin Yu felt more and more that he needed to improve his attributes.
There are a lot more.
The attribute he needs to improve now should be the improvement of various physical attributes.
But, whose clues are you stealing from to get an increase in your physical attributes more easily?
For the time being, Lin Yu could only think of LeBron James.
In another offensive round, Bruce Bowen continued to stay close to Lin Yu. He found a hidden angle and poked Lin Yu's stomach with the tip of his elbow.
Lin Yu suddenly dropped the basketball and lay on the floor holding his belly.
The referee once again stayed where he was and stopped the game amidst the boos at the North Shore Garden Arena.
Of course, the one who was even more sluggish was probably Bowen. He had made so many bad moves, and few players fell to the floor like Lin Yu because of a small move.
The referee ran to the technical table to watch the replay. Soon, the staff behind the technical table found a camera with a relatively remote angle and gave a clear replay.
"The staff at TD North Shore Garden Arena did a great job. They found a clear replay angle. The replay from this angle showed that Bruce Bowen stabbed China Lin in the stomach with the tip of his elbow."
"Judging from the twist of China Lin's belly, the force of this hidden elbow is not small."
It was very obvious from the replay footage that Bruce Bowen hit Lin Yu with a hidden elbow in the stomach, so the referee's penalty was quickly issued.
After a common foul, the Celtics returned the ball to the sideline, and the TD North Shore Garden Arena was booed again. Obviously, Boston fans were still dissatisfied with the penalty.
But the good news for Lin Yu is that after he committed two fouls in a row, Bruce Bowen finally restrained himself.
"It's so rare that we actually saw a clean and spotless Bruce Bowen!"
On the court, Uncle Bao said a harsh word to Lin Yu: "Boy, if you didn't have any deep grudge against me, even if I had to pay the price of suspension for this game, I would have let you lie down and leave this stadium.
.”
Lin Yu didn't take it seriously. He didn't take Bowen's threat to heart. He was not an ordinary player.
As a wall-hanger, if Bowen really wants to destroy Lin Yu, then Lin Yu can be sure that it will be Bowen who walks out of the arena lying down.
