NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 370

On the same day, the third game between the Spurs and the Mavericks was also over, and the Mavericks struggled to get back a round in the away game.

102 to 100, they won by 2 points, which was quite a thrilling victory.

On May 5, the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors started.

The Raptors players are in very good condition this time, blooming more and crushing the Cavaliers.

1 to 3, the Raptors pulled back a round and avoided the embarrassment of being swept.

Afterwards, the Pistons continued their efforts, beating the Bulls and taking a 3-1 lead.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Eastern Conference Finals is basically a Cavaliers vs. Pistons.

On May 5, the fourth game between the Clippers and the Suns began.

This game is very critical for the Suns. If they lose, they will fall behind 1 to 3, and the Clippers are still at home. They don't even have home court advantage.

It can be said that if they lose this game, they will basically be eliminated.

Before the game, the Suns players shouted the slogan of fighting to the death in the locker room.

But unfortunately, their morale did not translate into strength.

In the first quarter, the Suns trailed by 24 points 31 to 7, and He Xinghui only played 8 minutes.

In the second quarter, the Suns players began to become rough, and they made great moves on the defensive end.

Such a situation naturally annoyed the Clippers players very much.

In the 7th minute, Thomas and Millsap scrambled for a position at the basket. Thomas directly pulled Millsap down, and the two fell to the ground and huddled together in an indecent manner.

The referee just warned the two of them and did not give a technical foul.

The referee's indulgence, the defensive scale of the game is getting bigger and bigger.

Less than a minute into the third quarter, Stoudemire and Gasol head-to-head under the basket looked like they were kissing.

These are just minor issues. Although full of gunpowder, no conflict has erupted.

By halfway through the third quarter, the Suns had trailed by 22 points.

Seeing that there was no hope, Lagabel turned to fear, and choked He Xinghui who broke through, just like locking Kobe in the original time and space.

When He Xinghui broke through, he was very fast. When he was strangled by Lagabel's arm, he died for a short time, and his neck was also red.

This action is a completely unnecessary malicious foul, it is purely a retaliatory injury action, and it is against the person and not the ball.

Seeing this, Kaman went up and pushed Lagabel, and then Stoudemire joined the battle group.

Stoudemire has been extremely aggrieved in this series and needs to vent.

Just having such an opportunity, he threw his fist at Kaman without thinking about the consequences.

Then Millsap on the Clippers' bench, Livingston on the court joined the battle, and Thomas of the Suns also got involved.

The scene was very hot. Stoudemire first attacked Kaman with a punch, and then Kaman fought back. The punch did not hit Stoudemire, but Thomas instead.

Stoudemire still wanted to continue to fight, but Millsap rushed from the bench and punched Stoudemire in the side.

Livingston started the second battle with Lagabel, and the two fell to the ground and punched each other.

At this time, Nash was protected by the staff of the Suns, and He Xinghui was carried aside by Gasol.

It is a pity that Gasol missed the championship last season.

This season, no matter what he says, he will not let accidents happen again.

Therefore, he didn't know where the strength came from, but he was able to carry He Xinghui aside.

"Pau Gasol has done a great job."

Smith grumbled.

"It's too much, I bet, even if Gasol didn't carry him away, he wouldn't join the battle group. At this time, he is very clear about the importance."

Buckley said.

"The two teams are in trouble now. I am afraid that many people will be suspended. This conflict is more serious than the Madison Square conflict this season. Look, Amare, Kaman, Lagabel, Livingston face Bleeding all over, boy."

Smith clicked his tongue several times.

The fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills looked explosive at first glance, but it was chaotic and few people were actually injured.

But now in this conflict between the Clippers and the Suns, as many as four players are bleeding.

In terms of brutality and intensity, it was even higher than the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

However, fortunately, this time it was all conflicts between players and no fans were involved, so the impact was not particularly bad.

"Comparatively speaking, the Clippers are at a disadvantage. After all, the Suns have no hope of entering the Western Conference Finals, and it doesn't matter much if the players are suspended. This time, the Clippers, at least Kaman, Livingston, and Millsap I'm going to miss the Western Conference Finals. This is undoubtedly bad news for the Clippers."

Barkley commented.

Both Livingston and Kaman are the main starters, and Millsap is an important substitute, averaging 22 minutes per game.Without him, Gasol will have to be ready to play the full court in the future.

"Alas, this conflict should never have happened."

Smith actually wanted to complain about the referee. If the referee had made stricter penalties at the beginning, this situation would not have occurred.

At the same time, he also wanted to complain that the Suns couldn't afford to lose.This kind of behavior of hitting people if they can't win is really shameful.

"Unfortunately, this has happened. However, this is not necessarily all bad things, maybe we will be able to see a full-fledged cousin in the Western Conference finals."

Buckley laughed.

It's a pity that the fans of Star Fan at this time are not as optimistic as Barkley.

This is the loss of three important players at once. Any team encountering this situation will have to lose half of its combat effectiveness.

Although star fans and boat fans also like to see He Xinghui in full body, they like to watch him explode.

However, this time, they would rather Kaman and others not be suspended, let the team get a key point first.

If you want to break out and break the record, it can be done in the regular season.

In addition to worry, the most star fans are still angry.

"What shit sun, what rubbish strong team? If you can't beat it, you're useless. Lagabel's move is murder. He doesn't deserve the best defensive team."

"Lagabel should be permanently suspended, such a player does not deserve to appear in the NBA."

"Under the referee's care, they lost 20 points. When they became angry, they could only choose to beat people. We should resolutely resist this kind of garbage team."

"We should petition the league to postpone the suspension until next season to ensure fairness and the excitement of the game."

On the court, those who fought have been expelled, and the referee is checking the playback over and over again.

In fact, the penalty was given very well, and the situation is very clear.

However, they just want to watch it over and over again.

The matter is too big, so big that they dare not make the slightest mistake, and must be careful.

In the end, the referee at the scene gave a preliminary penalty.

Lagabel's second flagrant foul, Stoudemire, Thomas, Kaman, Livingston, Millsap expelled.

Norvin received a technical foul for leaving the bench, and Jones received a technical foul for leaving the bench.

In the end, the free throws of the two teams just offset, and no free throws were needed.

The game continues, but the players on the field have changed drastically.

On the Sun's side are Nash, Banks, Jones, Marion, and Diaw.

The Clippers are Cassel, Mobley, He Xinghui, Gasol, Perkins.

The losses on both sides are actually about the same.

However, at this time, the Suns players didn't have much thought to struggle, but the Clippers players were holding back their anger.

Ever since, the sun collapsed again.

By the end of the third quarter, 60 to 85, the Suns had fallen behind by 25 points.

60 points in three quarters is also their lowest score in this series.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers went directly to the full bench and let He Xinghui and Gasol rest. At this time, Dunleavy did not dare to let these two make any mistakes, otherwise the Western Conference Finals would not be played.

The Suns are also on the bench, after all, there is no way to catch up with 25 points.

Even if it is the main force to catch up to ten points, the Clippers will definitely send the main force accordingly.

In that case, it will only make the loss even uglier.

Finally, the game is over.

80 to 103, the Clippers won by 23 points.

However, winning or losing this game is no longer the point.

At the press conference, the Suns players attended first.

D'Antoni, Nash, Stoudemire, Lagabel, and Thomas were present, and the latter three were requested by the league to explain in the media.

"Mike, is it your arrangement to let the players increase their defensive strength and deliberately cause conflicts when they are behind by a large score?"

The reporter's muzzle first aimed at D'Antoni.

"I did ask the players to be tougher on the defensive end, because we have no retreat. But I can swear to God, I absolutely did not let the players deliberately create conflicts, and my players will not do it. It was just an accident. A sudden event."

D'Antoni denied it.

"Steve, what do you think about this conflict?"

reporter asked.

"It was an accident. We were all eager to win. We played very hard and the players were impatient. Both teams made great moves. Unfortunately, we couldn't restrain our emotions."

Nash said.

Before taking the stage, they had already discussed it in the backstage. This matter must be classified as an accident, and the fans must not feel that they, the Suns, cannot afford to lose.

This image is too bad, the Suns management will collapse.

"Raja, as the fuse of the incident, why did you lock your cousin's throat at that time? Did you ever think that it might cause your cousin to be injured. Or, in fact, you hoped that your cousin would be injured in your heart."

reporter asked.

"No no no, I don't want anyone to get hurt. I was just a knee-jerk move, I was passed and I was in a hurry. The team was behind and I was in a hurry. Ho kept talking trash to me and it made me very upset .I just want to prevent him from scoring. I have no other thoughts, and I don't want to cause subsequent conflicts. At this point, it is my fault."

Lagabert apologized in public, just because he was the fuse, and he couldn't get rid of the crime anyway, so he simply admitted his mistake.

However, when he admitted his mistake, he also vaguely mentioned that it was He Xinghui's trash talk that irritated him.

However, Xing Hei could only hear such words.

As for the star fans, they just want to shoot their size 42 sneakers on Lagabel's size 41 face.

"Amarai, why did you do it at that time? It was because you felt uncomfortable after losing too much and wanted to vent your emotions?"

reporter asked.

"I don't know, my mind was blank. Fighting is not good, I rarely fight with other players, I just want to play well. Kaman pushed our players at the time, he shouldn't do it, his actions make me dissatisfied"

Stoudemire said a lot, the core meaning is Kaman's fault.

If Kaman didn't push people, he wouldn't throw a punch.

It's a pity that such words can only fool a fool.

"How could Chris push Lagabell without a chokehold? If you ask me, Chris did a good job, and that's how he should respond."

Star fans directly supported Kaman, and made speeches to ridicule Stoudemire's defense.

Fortunately, Stoudemire couldn't hear.

At the Sun's press conference, everyone admitted that this was something that should not have happened.

No way, who made them feel wronged, it was Lagabel and Stoudemire who made the first move.

However, their attitude of admitting their mistakes was not sincere at all. They were complaining about the Clippers inside and outside the words, implying that the Clippers were also at fault.

Subsequently, the Suns players attended the press conference.

Dunleavy, He Xinghui, Kaman, Livingston, Millsap all attended.

Before the reporter started asking questions, Dunleavy picked up the topic and began to complain.

"It was a disappointing clash, and I'm really disappointed that we weren't treated with respect on the road, my players weren't protected. It's a bad phenomenon, and if the league doesn't do something about it, then In the future, there will be more things that hurt the opponent's core players on the court.

Duncan, Nowitzki, LeBron have to be careful, because your opponents may also imitate Lagabel, because you are not available.The Suns also had Steve, but we never wanted to hurt him, even when we lost Game [-] badly.However, after that, we all played cleanly with our strength.

Our team was originally a strong contender for the championship, and I was full of confidence before.But now I don't have confidence, I'm depressed and hopeless.We have three main players who will be suspended, and our next opponent, whether it is the Spurs or the Mavericks, will be very difficult.

And the Mavericks also have Stackhouse, and the Spurs also have Bruce Bowen.If the league doesn't protect the stars, our Clippers will definitely not win the championship.Even, for He's safety, I would suggest that the management let He take a truce, we will only play the regular season in the future, and leave the playoffs to those barbarians."

Dunleavy went all out, ran the Suns and Spurs to the Mavericks, and even criticized and threatened the league.

He might be fined for what he said.

However, Dunleavy still decided to say this, if the matter is not made a big deal, the league will not take it seriously.

Now Deng Lewei is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid that He Xinghui will be deliberately injured by his opponent.

"Mike, what do you mean, the Suns did this on purpose?"

reporter asked.

"Can you accidentally lock someone's throat?"

Dunleavy asked back.

"Then what do you think, is this Lagabel's personal behavior or the Suns' behavior."

The reporter tried to guide Dunleavy against the Suns, but Dunleavy was not fooled.

He said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the result is that our Clippers have been hurt."

Later, the reporter asked He Xinghui: "He, what do you think of what Mike said?"

"The coach is right, I support it with both hands."

He Xinghui said.

"Then do you think Lagabert did it on purpose?"

reporter asked.

This question is actually difficult to answer. To say that Lagabert did it on purpose would make him seem narrow-minded.

In the original time and space Leonard was reimbursed for the tiptoe season, and he didn't even say that Pachulia did it on purpose.

He Xinghui shrugged and said, "Whether it was intentional or not, his behavior has led to the following results."

"Lagabell said that you have been harassing him with trash talk. Do you think you have something you shouldn't?"

a female reporter asked.

He Xinghui sneered and said, "For example, if you were raped because you dressed sexy, would you be at fault too?"

The reporter chose to shut up after hearing the words, not to dwell on this issue.

This issue involves too deep, it is difficult to argue to the end.

"Chris, do you regret pushing Lagabel? If you had stayed calm, there would have been no conflict, no suspension, no trouble for the team."

reporter asked.

"I don't regret it, do it again, I will do it again, I will not allow anyone to hurt my buddy. What's more, I just pushed Lagabel, and it was Amare who did it first. As for letting the team fall into Trouble, I don't worry about this, I believe that He can keep winning."

Kaman said, these words are full of deterrence.

If other players still want to hurt He Xinghui, they have to weigh Kaman's anger first.

After that, Millsap and Livingston were also very rigid, saying that they would not care about the suspension and would sacrifice themselves to defend the interests of the team.
