The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 121 The Attacking Thunder

Although Tu Man cleverly changed the concept at the press conference and advertised himself as a just and tough anti-government fighter, none of the punishments imposed on him by the alliance fell:
A $2.5 fine and a [-]-game suspension.

The sun was relieved up and down.

Compared with the gang fight in the Palace of Auburn Hills back then, and Kermit Washington who blew Tomjanovich's head off, the league's punishment this time can really be regarded as being raised high and lowered gently...

Maybe it was Tubaru's speech at the press conference that touched the sensitive nerves of the Jewish old man David Stern. He seemed to approve of Tubaru's sophistry, and Zaza Pachulia's foul actions were really sensational.

Therefore, while punishing the brutality, Zaza Pachulia, who was lying in the hospital moaning, received the same severe punishment:
He was fined $2.5 and suspended for six games.

Each hit [-] big boards, the boxing opponent is certainly wrong, but this kind of brutal foul with the purpose of disabling people is also not advisable, so as to serve as a warning to others!

This time, the "generous" Suns owner Robert Savoy did not pay the ticket for Tuman.

He was also very annoyed. On the way for the team to chase the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, Tu Man made such a move. Isn't this his own application to end the record?

The Suns had 16 games in March, and Tu Man could only play in the last three games.

Not to mention the loss of salary, this month's best of the week, best of the month and other honors have nothing to do with him, but that is the meat that is drifting away...

On March 3, the Celtics ended the Suns' winning streak without any suspense.

23 consecutive victories, surpassing the Rockets and occupying the second place in history.

On March 3, the three thunderbolts beat the sun.

On March 3, the Mavericks had their revenge.

After the winning streak was ended, they turned around and lost three consecutive away games.

Nash applied for a comeback, but was unsuccessful.

On March 3, the Nuggets in the post-Melon era ended their five-game losing streak with the Suns.

On March 3, the Magic beat the Suns by 13 points.

On March 3, the Mavericks lost again at home.

On March 3, was impaled by a hornet.

On March 3, he was defeated by the Mavericks for the fourth time, and the regular season was swept away.

On March 3, Griffin regained a city.

On March 3, he was trampled by the Lakers.

Ten consecutive defeats!

The more losses, the less confidence the team has, the outside line collapses, and a vicious circle.

On March 3, even the Raptors couldn't beat it!

On March 3, the Hornets were defeated again.

Tu Man was suspended for [-] games, and the Suns lost [-] games in a row.

The team's record ranking has slipped from third in the West all the way to eighth.

Currently, the Western standings are:

No.1, Spurs, 57 wins and 14 losses

No.2, Lakers, 51 wins and 20 losses

No.3, Mavericks, 50 wins and 21 losses

No.4, Thunder, 46 wins and 24 losses

No.5, Nuggets, 44 wins and 29 losses

No.6, Blazers, 42 ​​wins and 30 losses

No.7, Hornets, 42 wins and 31 losses

No.8, the Suns, 41 wins and 30 losses

And behind them, with 11 regular season games left, the Grizzlies are catching up. They are 40 wins and 32 losses, not far away!

Sunday, November 3th, sunny.

Nash and Tuman are back at the same time!

In fact, he got better early, but Dragic played well during the winning streak, and the coaching staff didn't let Nash go out to join in the fun.

After all, Nash is not young, and he will rely on Dragic in the future.

It's rare for him to be so upbeat!
During the losing streak, the team did not have the threat of falling out of the playoff threshold, so Nash didn't have to play and be humiliated.

He's been in the arena—

Cultivate a tacit understanding with Tuman!
The Suns sit at home, and the Rockets send away their heads thousands of miles away.

A hearty victory, plus 18 exquisite dunks, the Suns fans were mesmerized, this is basketball!

On March 3, the Suns beat the Kings away.

While he won his second consecutive victory, he helped his opponent win the 54th loss.

The Kings are getting closer and closer to the league's No. [-] Minnesota Huskies...

On March 3, the Suns played away against the Thunder.

Before the trade deadline, the Thunder and the Celtics had quietly completed a deal.

The Thunder sent Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic to the Celtics for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson.

The main body of this deal is Jeff Green. He averaged 15.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season, and he has a wonderful chemical reaction with Westbrook and Adu.

Now he is a quasi-top star!
It just so happens that the Celtics, who have huge salary pressure this season, are very distressed.

Their bench attack power has been infinitely close to zero, and there is an urgent need for a swingman to play the role of a bench bandit when the Big Four are resting.

And after O'Neal came to Boston, Perkins, who had been the starting center for five consecutive seasons, was squeezed to the bench, competing with rookies like "Big Baby" Glenn Davis for living space.

It would be strange if Perkins didn't make trouble.

Therefore, Perkins rejected the renewal contract of the Green Army's cabbage price. He will become a completely free man after the end of the season and choose another high branch to live in!

How could Danny Ainge, who "would rather let the world lose the world than let the world lose him", sit back and watch Perkins just slip away so casually, and let the Green Army's bamboo basket fetch water in vain?
Looking at the entire league, Jeff Green, the No. [-] pick who reluctantly sent away in order to get Ray Allen, entered Danny Ainge's small account book, and Ainge's rhetoric moved the Thunder.

Thus, the transaction happened.

There was nothing strange about this at the time when so many melons gathered.

And Jeff Green didn't have any shine under the aura of the Big Five of the Green Army, and his score dropped to 9.8 points.

Giant useless teammate!

But unexpectedly, Kendrick Perkins suddenly became a favorite.

Before Perkins came, the Thunder had 42 wins and 23 losses. After he arrived, the Thunder lost the third leading scorer with 13 wins and 4 losses, becoming the best team in the league in March!

Isn't his role obvious?
Perkins' data is not conspicuous, even lower than that of the Celtics, but his contribution to the Thunder cannot be reflected in the data.

Use the huge size to guard the penalty area and protect the basket. The effect is reflected in two aspects:
One is to deter and hinder the opponent's breakthrough and force the opponent to jump shot, because he has a Serge Ibaka (No. [-] in Tuman) who can block shots next to him.

Second, the excellent card positions make it impossible for opponents to catch offensive rebounds.

Bill Russell once said:
"You don't have to block every ball, just make your opponent think you're going to block every ball!"

This is the meaning of the existence of giants in a team.

After Jordan retired, the teams that won the championship, such as:
The Sharks and Duncan, the Pistons double Wallace, the Lakers Twin Towers and the Celtics Garnett plus Perkins, in exchange, the insider still wins the championship!

With reference to the reborn Mavericks after getting Tyson Chandler this year, the sudden outbreak of the Thunder is understandable.

Although Perkins has a lot of problems, such as not retreating fast enough, the offense does not exist, and the defensive range is small, he can perfectly complement Ibaka.

This is the existence of one plus one greater than two!
