Chapter 134 The Bad News Returns

The entire Staples Center, "Boom!" sounded, as if an atomic bomb had suddenly exploded in a dense space.

Among the basketball games, the most exciting thing is a hot pot.

Chandler's big palm that covered the sky also began to push the atmosphere of the stadium to its peak.

The Hornets took advantage of the chaos of the Clippers to fish in troubled waters, and Jack led the team to a 12-0 spurt.Jack helped the Hornets narrow the score to the last 6 points.

With a sound of "beep...", the whistle sounded for the end of the lengthy game.At the end of the halftime game, the score between the two sides came to 48 to 54.

At the end of halftime, in the locker room of the visiting team, Byron Scott was giving a passionate speech: "Man, this is how we should bombard them. We must win this game. Our defense should do Not bad, we will continue our defensive counterattack and play our own rhythm."

Clap clap!Byron Scott clapped his hands. At the same time, he raised his right arm and placed it in the middle, so that the players of the Hornets could surround him, and said loudly to the players of the Hornets: "Come on... one, two, three, we are Warriors, we need to fight! Come on! Come on! Come on!”

"One, two, three, we are warriors, we need to fight! Come on! Come on! Come on!"

…………

On the other side of the locker room at home, it was a completely different scene. Clippers coach Dunleavy's face was gloomy and terrifying.

After the first quarter, the Clippers had already led by 18 points.But in less than one quarter, the score was pulled down to the last 6 points.Moreover, the most important thing is that the game is played in one's own home court.

At this time, the Clippers players were like mice seeing a cat, not daring to touch Dunleavy's brow.

Seeing the depressing atmosphere in the locker room, Dunleavy is the most experienced coach in the league, and he knows the key to leading troops in battle.During the game, it is absolutely impossible to mess up by yourself.

clap clap clap!
Dunleavy clapped his hands, took a breath, and said:
"Today our situation is very bad. The Hornets are stronger than we imagined. They are even stronger than when they faced off last season. It's not like a team without Chris Paul. We are very concerned about this situation. We must go all out, and we must go all out. Remember that this is our home court, and the dignity of the home court is absolutely not allowing others to come
provocative. "Speaking of this, Dunleavy paused for a moment, and from the corner of his eye, he aimed at all the people present.

Dunleavy is also a natural speaker, and they are very satisfied with the effect he created himself.

"The dignity of the home court cannot be challenged. Defeat the Hornets and let the New Orleans get out." Dunleavy played such a slogan.

As soon as the words fell, Elton Brand quickly got up, and while using "incentive", he shouted:

"Kill them!"

Chris Kaman echoed without hesitation, and this moment was remembered by all the Clippers players, and they also shouted:

"Kill them!"

The voices came and went, and the momentum of the Clippers returned. Dunleavy smiled with satisfaction, and then began to arrange tactics.

The Clippers scored the first ball in the second half. When Chandler jumped the ball, he beat Chris Kaman. According to the rules, the Hornets served first in the first and fourth quarters, and the Clippers served first. Serve first in the second and third quarters.

The Clippers slowly fell into position, Cassell handed the basketball to Brand, and David West stepped back directly to block Brand's path.He has been deliberately keeping the distance between the two in order to prevent the opponent from breaking through with the ball.

Brandon obviously has no good way to deal with Chandler, who is one size bigger than himself.However, facing David Steiner is another matter.

Facing David West's defense, Brand first feinted a shot, and David West's center of gravity was tricked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, David West went straight into the restricted area of ​​the Hornets, and Elton Brand pierced the restricted area of ​​the Hornets like a sharp knife.

Chandler, who was chasing rebounds at the basket, had already realized that Elton would rush in, so he made a prediction. He stood on the basket with both feet, and protected some key parts with his hands to prevent injury. .

Elton, who was walking, saw Chandler who was already standing under the basket. His speed still did not decrease at all. He bent his knees, kicked the ground, and jumped up directly from the ground, completely ignoring the people in front of him. Chandler scored with a thunderous one-handed dunk.

Elton's knee hit Chandler's chest heavily, and his chest felt tight. Chandler's face turned pale for a while, and Chandler's body flew backwards involuntarily.It is conceivable how powerful the impulse is.

With a sound of "Boom...", the Clippers fans on the scene who were suppressed by the Hornets for the entire second quarter.At this moment, the grievance in my heart was finally completely released.

Originally, this ball could have fouled Elton Brand.However, in order to take care of the fans at home, the referee never blew the whistle.

Looking at his teammates who had fallen to the ground in pain, Jack hurried forward to find the referee to argue.

"Hey hey hey! What are your eyes for? Didn't you see Tyson knocked down by him?" Jack growled at the referee.

Seeing that Jack's tone was wrong, the referee was also upset, and he began to issue a warning.

At this time, the players of the Hornets saw that something was wrong, so they ran up in despair and pulled Jack away.If Jack is sent off with a red card, the consequences for you will be disastrous.

However, it is still a good thing for the Hornets that there is nothing wrong with Chandler's wrestling just today.

Chandler was able to stand up from the ground by himself, and Jack's psychological anger also dissipated more than half.As long as Chandler is fine, everything is fine.

However, things are not as simple as Jack thought.Chandler's fall this time is just the beginning of his bad luck today, is there even more disaster waiting for him?

In order to suppress the momentum of the Clippers, Jack chose to attack on his own initiative.

The Qianlong step was launched from the outside line and rose from the crowd. With a loud "boom", Jack dunked with one hand!
Jack scored 4 points in a row in the next minute or so. However, the Clippers' scoring momentum was also very fierce. The Hornets still couldn't close the score relying on Jack's efforts alone.

Jack is aware of this problem. He needs to organize his teammates instead of scoring by himself.

Chandler on the inside was successfully blocked, and Jack handed the ball into Chandler's hands.Chandler turned and faced Elton Brand's defense head-on.At this time, Chandler and Elton had a misplaced defense.

Chandler's frenzy in the first half had caught Elton's attention enough that Chandler faked a shot.The center of gravity of Elton's defense was deceived by the height. Chandler caught the loophole in the defense, took the ball in the chest with a smooth step, directly killed the Clippers' penalty area, and threw Elton away. .

Elton's face turned pale, but his face was more unwilling.At this moment, you can see a glint of darkness flashing from Elton's eyes.It feels very eerie.

Chandler stepped on the free throw line with one foot. Chandler stared hard and smashed the ball with one arm. Looking at Chandler's posture, he wanted to make a one-handed dunk!

All the players of the Hornets looked at Chandler with full expectation. This goal must be able to boost morale!
Chandler threw his body like a dynamite package directly into the sky. Chandler, with the momentum of thunder, made a loud "boom", and the basket groaned in pain.

However, there was suddenly no sound at the scene, as if the KTV that had been playing songs had suddenly lost power, and the sound dropped suddenly.

Because, Chandler's body has already hit the ground hard, slipped a few meters away on the smooth floor, and then hit the billboard next to the court.

At this moment, everyone was extremely worried, because Chandler fell to the ground in great pain, his limbs curled up...

This process was shown in the live big screen replay. When Chandler dunked, he faced Chandler's back and pushed one by one.

Chandler, who has risen to a high altitude, has no way to counteract the thrust brought by Elton on his back.Chandler couldn't help but staggered forward and fell down.

Elton originally just wanted Chandler to pull Le down, but he thought of Chandler's arrogant expression.Elton, changed his mind.Turned into a push.

force!
The referee paused the game immediately, and then the Hornets' teammates surrounded him one after another, and even they surrounded him. For a while, a large group of people surrounded him.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the doctor pass."

I don't know who yelled, and then everyone moved out of the way for the team doctor to come over and asked Chandler, "How is it, Tyson, can you tell me where you hurt?"

Chandler had a painful look on his face, with tears in his eyes, and a painful look. The fall just now was really hard!Chandler just reluctantly answered the team doctor's question.

After the team doctor's diagnosis, Chandler couldn't play the game, and then said to the back:
"Hurry up and get the stretcher up."

Chandler on the stretcher had a painful expression on his face, but there was a strong fighting spirit in those eyes.

Chandler once said something like this to Jack: "We basketball players are like fighters, we are fighters, and we have to fight to the end!"

Looking at Chandler's painful expression on the stretcher, the anger in Jack's heart burst out.

The Hornets waited for a group of people, headed by Jack, to rush towards the culprit, Elton Brand. As soon as Jack stepped forward, he pointed at Elton's nose, glared, and roared at the top of his throat. Said: "Today, if something happens to Tyson, I will never end with you."

Seeing that the situation on the scene was not good, the Clippers players also rushed over and separated Jack and Elton.

"Are you threatening me? I have already been called a technical foul by the referee, what else do you want?" Elton was also very upset when he saw Jack's threat. As a veteran in the league, how could he Maybe let Jack, a newcomer, step on his head?

There was a frightening coldness in Jack's eyes, and Jack was indeed angry this time.It seems that Jack is definitely going to lose his temper this time.

………………

Chandler's injury is really bad news for the Hornets.It was Hilton who replaced Chandler, Paul and Chandler's injuries made the Hornets return to Jack's first season in the league.

Because of the Hornets' Tyson Chandler's injury, the Hornets' scene fell into a dead silence, and the Hornets' bench became lifeless.

"Although Tyson is injured, our match must continue." Byron Scott also said solemnly.

Normally, Byron Scott's words are very magnetic.However, none of the Hornets' players are listening seriously.They tied their hearts tightly to the injured Chandler.

"Okay, that's enough! Let's cheer up, let's start the game. We want to avenge Tyson, and we want to bloodbath Los Angeles." Jack growled loudly.

As soon as Jack's words came out of his mouth, the Hornets players hadn't even reacted yet.The scene trend has had a very big response.

Jack's voice is very loud, as long as the fans sitting in the first three rows, as long as they are not deaf, they should be able to hear it.

As soon as Jack's words came out, there was a loud booing and cursing at the scene...

"Rookie, what are you crazy about!"

"Go back to New Orleans! You're not welcome here."

"Is your brain shitting? Want to bloodbath Los Angeles! You're ten years too early?"

"Elton, kill him."

…………

"Doo..." The delay due to Chandler's injury was long enough.After about 5 minutes, the game starts to get back on track.

When the Hornets players returned to the field, the chatting and laughing fans found that the Hornets had completely changed. They were like irritated lions, their eyes were bloodshot, and they released the breath of devouring the world.

"Is their core center really injured? Are they really so strong? Even if they are sure that both the main center and the main point guard can beat the Los Angeles Clippers. If this is the case, then this will continue The Hornets are really good."

A fan asked the partner next to him suspiciously.

"Gerald, they are just pretending. The more calm they are, the more guilty they are!"

His partner said with a face full of complacency, quite a bit like talking and laughing at the world.
