Chapter 687 Brother Gasol's Enemy Forever

In the game against the Lakers, except for Cousins, the other 76ers players were basically very happy.

There are two points of Cousins' dissatisfaction, Gasol and Gasol.

Of these two brothers, one likes to use meat, and the other likes to pat with hands.

Gasol's single defense may be the best in the league, and Gasol's help defense is not a big threat, but it is precisely because everyone thinks he is not a big threat, so his seven-foot height, 230 cm wingspan and very good running and jumping ability are often overlooked.

In the closing minutes of the second quarter, Cousins ​​was like an obsessed beast, pushing for the ball.

Fighting and hitting, the more they hit, the more fierce they are.

His shooting percentage remained at around [-]%. Considering that he basically did not rely on external force, so one person dealt with two Gasol brothers, and his efficiency was acceptable.The Lakers paid a lot of strength to limit him, allowing Weixia to take Thaddeus Young to consecutive offensive rebounds.

The confrontation between the two sides lasted until the last round of the first half.

Cousins ​​turned his back to the basket and attacked, trying to crush Gasol Jr. in one go.

Mark wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, but the timing was not right. Cousins ​​was so powerful that he was unstoppable, and he fell down on his own initiative so that Cousins ​​also fell to the ground.

Cousins' weight of nearly 250 kilograms rolled over him with all his strength, especially his legs, and an accident occurred immediately.

Screaming, roaring, and a burst of Spanish that Wei Xia couldn't understand.

"problem occurs?"

Hayward said unexpectedly.

"Probably, the sound doesn't sound like Boge's." Wei Xia and his teammates felt a little relieved.

They don't care about Xiaojia's safety, and sometimes they have to be realistic.

It took Cousins ​​a little effort to turn over from Xiaojia, and at this time, he realized that Gasol "has died" under the impact of his meatball.The Lakers asked Carl to be carried off the field on a stretcher.

Xiaojia's injury, and the hidden danger of Kobe's minor injury just after his comeback, heralded the infinite darkness of the Lakers this season.

Not counting Bryant and Xiaojia, the Lakers have already injured Jordan Farmar, Xavier Henry and George Hill.

Only one month after the start of the game, three players were injured, and now, Xiaojia is also down.

The bad luck of the Zijin Army has not yet come to an end.

The second quarter ended with two free throws by Cousins.

"Injury is an athlete's worst enemy, no one wants to get hurt, good luck to Mark,"

In addition to sending a message to Gasol, the reporter also asked Wei Xia for his evaluation of Kobe's status after his comeback.

"Kobe has always been Kobe, and I believe he's going to be 100 percent, but tonight it didn't seem to be 100 percent. He couldn't work his feet, you saw that, he missed a few layups, and I doubt he's fully recovered."

During the halftime interview, Wei Xia finished speaking and went back to the waiting room.

His words will cause him some trouble, such as the questioning of the Lakers team doctor.

Because Kobe can play, he must have been checked by the team doctor and the hospital. He can only play when he has fully recovered and his condition meets the requirements of the game.

When he said this, it was tantamount to questioning the level of the Lakers team doctor.

His original intention was not to find fault, but to remind the Lakers. As for how the other party will understand his warning, I don't know.

In the second half, the Lakers' starters were these: Jody Meeks, Sean Williams, Thackeray, Gasol and Kobe Bryant.

There are at least two names, which will make people confused.

This is the Lakers.

Since 2000, the Lakers have entered the finals 7 times and won 5 times.

Pau Gasol completed the Lakers' first possession of the second half.

He gave people the impression that, for the sake of his younger brother, he was willing to break through the bottom line with the ball from a high position, passed Cousins ​​with his straight-line speed, opened his long arms, held the ball with his left hand, and hit the board.

"Is there a mistake?" Cousins ​​shook his arm, "It's all like this!"

But the referee didn't even look at him.

"The real man is the one who fights back." Wei Xia persuaded him.

Is there a problem with Wei Xia's words?no problem.Cousins ​​misunderstood the word "hit" in "hit back".Wei Xia hoped that he would return the goal from action, but Cousins ​​simply compared the literal meaning.

call back!
call back!
That's right, you have to fight back in the same way to be a real man!

Seeing Cousins's mighty position, Holiday was concerned, fearing that something might go wrong, and just wanted to pass the ball quickly.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all." Before Kobe finished speaking, the referee's whistle sounded sharper than expected.

They all looked over, only to see Gasol lying in a pool of blood—an exaggeration!
However, it didn't go anywhere.

When Cousins ​​was in the position, his elbow was always in the stage of exerting force. As long as his teammate passed the ball, he would wave his elbow upward to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Judging from the embarrassed posture of Paul Gasol lying on the ground, his approach has initially achieved results.

"!￥#￥%"

"DeMarcus Cousins ​​made a nasty elbow!"

"In slow motion, he hit Paul on the nose!"

"He should be suspended for ten games!"

"Ten games?" Cousins ​​raised his head and muttered, "Why don't you say twenty games, shit!"

Gasol's nosebleed couldn't be stopped and kept flowing, and he also lost consciousness.

The Lakers doctor yelled with familiarity: "Stretcher! Stretcher!"

The Lakers fans stared at Cousins ​​with hatred, and the Lakers players stared at Cousins ​​in fear. Only Kobe stepped forward and warned him: "Do you want me to teach you where to put your elbow?"

Wei Xia originally wanted to step forward to remind Kobe that he is the most unqualified player to teach people this matter, because he has not learned to put his elbows away until now.But considering that the Lakers have lost the two generals of the Gasol brothers, forget it.

The referee determined the penalty for Cousins ​​​​through replay: a second-level malicious foul.

"Is it so strict? I didn't do it on purpose. In the worst case, can I apologize?" Cousins ​​didn't want to be suspended, but the verdict has been handed down.

A second-level flagrant foul means direct expulsion and an automatic suspension for the next game.

The referee didn't give him a chance to speak and told him to leave immediately.

Cousins ​​put his hands in his trouser pockets unhappily and lifted up his underwear.

He walked out of the Staples Center in a way that raised the disdain and hatred of the audience to the top.

The price of a one-game suspension means that the two Lakers generals will need to be on the injury list in the next few games.

After Cousins ​​was ejected, he expressed his complaints to reporters: "I'm not saying I shouldn't be ejected, I mean I shouldn't be the only one who should be ejected! Pau Gasol used the same moves as me, why is he okay? Is it because I didn't bleed? But I did the bleeding? Who can be sure that he didn't hit himself when he fell? In any case, I will never accept any punishment, no matter how much the fine is. Those who referee, they will suffer retribution, ****!"

The injury and retirement of the Gasol brothers was a landmark event for the Lakers in the 2013-14 season.

They officially established the direction of this season: play badly!Bad!Desperately show off!

It just so happens that 2014 is the year of the draft. There are three unborn talents. If Kobe can find one to train, wouldn't the Lakers have a future?
The Gasol brothers' exit made the intensity of the game drop rapidly.

The Lakers had no resistance, Kobe shot casually, scored 22 points and was replaced by D'Antoni.

Wei Xia also had no intention of sprinkling salt on the Lakers' wounds, and had no intention of attacking after scoring 20 points.

Injuries and pointless conflicts robbed the game of what it should have been, and the 76ers won easily.
