From today on is the king

Chapter 1336 1335. It's Him Who Pulls Back! (55)

Very purposeful, avoiding Artest's ability to defend mid-range shots, and instead of going to the basket, Liu Mang pulled his shot to the free throw line.

When fighting for superstar abilities, Liu Mang stood up.

The timing of McGrady's cuts and catches and shots is also well grasped.

However, the Spurs offense was better than in the first quarter. With Ginobili in, the Spurs had a third super threat. Duncan singled Kwame Brown in the low post, caught and shot from mid-range, Ginobili's breakthrough score and three-pointer, Parker's breakthrough throw...

With a troika, all at their peak, this is their best year.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams fell into an anxious stage.

A crucial goal came at the end of the second quarter. Ginobili hit a three-pointer in the face of Prince's fallback, closing the gap to only 4 points!
53 to 49, the Eagles entered the intermission with a 4-point lead.

……

In terms of defense, the Spurs are still strong. The Hawks only scored 24 points in the second quarter, while the Spurs relied on Ginobili to lead the rotation lineup to chase three points in the first half of the quarter, and finally hit a fadeaway three-pointer at the buzzer, scoring 30 points in a single quarter!
Ginobili scored 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and Liu Mang showed off, so did he!

It's the crucial third quarter.

In the third quarter, which is the easiest to widen the point difference or overtake the score, the two teams changed into the strongest lineup in a tacit understanding. The Spurs replaced the troika plus Artest and Oberto.

The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

The Spurs already know the tactics that the Eagles practiced in the first half of the two afternoons. They may not be able to defend against all of them, but they can give more interference.

The Eagles are also very familiar with the Spurs troika's one-on-one play style. The Spurs averaged about 98 points per game, the troika Duncan averaged 21 points per game, Ginobili averaged 17 points per game, and Parker averaged 18 points per game. These three scored almost 60.00%!
But how difficult it is to guard against the troika. When Popovich hates three-pointers, the Spurs still have an average scoring ability, relying on the troika.

When Ginobili saw Liu Mang, he became demonic, and he played better than usual. Duncan was teaching Kwame Brown how to defend him, which made Kwame Brown miserable.

The scores of both teams are rising, and the point difference fluctuates back and forth around five points.

The key turning point came after the official timeout in the third quarter, when the Eagles made a counterattack. When Marion counterattacked and cut to the basket, Ginobili, who had retreated in place, couldn’t stop the rushing Marion. When Marion received the ball, he wanted to reach out and hug Marion’s arm directly, but in the end his hand caught Marion’s finger and pulled...

Marion was pulled down directly and fell to the ground, wailing with his arms folded.

This happened very suddenly. When Ginobili was young, he was not considered dirty. When he was old and couldn’t keep up, he committed a lot of malicious fouls. When he was young, he committed more offensive fouls. He himself heard the sound of Marion’s fingers being pulled by him just now!
The Hawks' counterattackers immediately surrounded Ginobili, and McGrady slapped Ginobili on the head.

Ginobili's foul action just now was an action made in excitement. Now his head is a little dazed, he was slapped, and he immediately fought back.

too suddenly!

The referee didn't expect the two teams to fight fiercely, so why did they suddenly start fighting!
Moreover, Liu Mang and Jason Terry of the Eagles, who were about to gang up on Ginobili, all surrounded them, and the most important thing was Artest rushed up!

The three referees rushed up immediately, trying to stop Artest, but before the referees were desperate, Artest stood between the Eagles and Ginobili like a sandbag, and was punched by McGrady. Ginobili didn't react and slapped Artest's ass.

Artest hugged the three of the Eagles to prevent them from beating Ginobili.

The crowd was excited at the scene, three against one!

Duncan ran over in a panic, mainly because he was worried that Artest would bring the gang up.

Unable to keep up with Artest, Duncan quickly hugged Kwame Brown, preventing the kid from fighting, four on two... that would be too miserable!

The coaching staff of both teams followed the players on the bench, and they had to be sent out if they stood up at this time.

But... even the three who wanted to hit Ginobili were stunned...

I thought Artest was here to fight, but I didn't expect that he was here to fight!
The fans, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Jason Terry, the Spurs players, coach Popovich who was about to despair on the sidelines, and three referees who were already desperate were all stunned for a moment.

Heck!
Is this guy still Artest?

The referee reacted faster and went up to separate the two teams.

The referee took a weird look at Artest who pulled Liu Mang and McGrady away after separating the two, and immediately gave the first penalty, Ginobili and McGrady were sent off.

McGrady struck first, but Ginobili fought back, and a fight really started. When Liu Mang and Jason Terry were about to hit someone, Artest had already stopped him, but there was a pulling action. The specifics depend on the replay. First, the original perpetrator and the first striker were punished.

When Kwame Brown and Duncan helped Marion up, the people next to him and the fans gasped. When they were leaving and looked back and saw Marion's fingers, they all clenched their fists and beat themselves on the head.

Marion's right index finger is bent sideways at 90 degrees!
No wonder just now when he fell to the ground and screamed so painfully, it made McGrady go up and beat someone!
The team doctor of the Eagles came up to check immediately, and Liu Mang also heard the system prompt.

"Ding... Sean Marion dislocated the second joint of his right index finger and tore the ligament. The estimated recovery time is 6 weeks. Twelve primary injury medicines can be used to repair the injured ligament. The recovery time is 12 days. The dislocation requires physical recovery, and the estimated recovery time is four weeks. Using 6 primary injury medicines can repair the cartilage. The recovery time is seven days, and the knuckle fixation recovery time is nine days. Quick recovery requires 8000 star points. It is not recommended to use fast recovery."

Fortunately, it was dislocated!
"Use 18 primary injury potions." Liu Mang did not hesitate.

But this kind of serious injury that can be seen directly by the eyes cannot be recovered quickly.

Physical recovery, that is, putting on a plaster cast and splint to keep the index finger immobile, this has happened to Liu Mang before, but his three-day team was unpacked after the rest time without a game.

The initial examination by the team doctor also showed a dislocation. Although it was also a serious injury, the Eagles coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, it's better than a broken bone anyway. If you have a broken bone, don't even think about playing before the All-Star weekend.

Of course, it is also possible to hold it up, but Marion's ring finger is already disabled and sideways, and another one... three-eight pushes will definitely be affected.

The trouble is now with this game!

Even if Marion suffered the slightest dislocation, he would not dare to let him continue to play. Marion still has a three-year contract this season, and Marion is in his peak period. He cannot risk Marion playing with injuries. This is a 1200 million-a-year player, the third-highest-paid star in the Eagles.

McGrady was sent out. Although the opponent was also sent out one, the Eagles couldn't play two!
