Chapter 202 He Stretched Himself Over to Step on Me
The generals of the Spurs didn't come forward to argue with the referee. The other party has already said so, so why don't they understand what he means?

Totoro also touched his nose very displeased, why should he sacrifice his handsome and straight nose, if he was pushed and received a technical foul, he would still do it, but if his nose was slapped, forget it, He doesn't have any masochistic tendencies.

Before Totoro made a free throw, Popovich couldn't bear it and brought Duncan and Parker to the court at the same time. Although this seriously violated his rotation policy, if they don't rotate them, the game will be cold. In total, let the Spurs' bench lineup open the score again, but who knows that I really underestimated the insidiousness of the opposite Totoro, and it's a fraud.
The Rockets are not in such a hurry. Although the playing time of playoff stars is very important, physical strength is equally important, especially those players who are old or have a lot of physical burden.

There used to be an unwritten rule in the playoffs, that is, anyone who played less than 35 minutes in the playoffs could not be regarded as a superstar.

Did Yao Ming play 35 minutes in the playoffs?The answer is naturally impossible, but can't the little giant be considered a superstar?With plenty of physical strength, he is a big killer inside and the patron saint of the penalty area. His offensive ability is better than James Kobe. As the number one center after the O'Neal era, as long as he can play, there will basically be no insiders in the league who can single Guard his players.

The deterrent effect of the little giant on the inside is also unparalleled. Maybe his usual rebound data is quite satisfactory, with only about 9 per year. Maybe his block data is not outstanding. The average block per game in several seasons may be less than 1, but his improvement of the team's defensive system is irreplaceable.

Think about it, when there is a 2.26 inside and a big man who is not bulky sits in the three-second zone, how does it feel for those players who attack the inside?
With Dayao around, the Rockets' inside point loss ratio is at least 10 percentage points lower. Many times he interferes with other people's shots and fails to make shots. Of course, ordinary fans can't see this kind of successful defense that doesn't count as blocking data.

So to sum up the performance on both offensive and defensive ends, Yao Ming is really a superstar in the playoffs, but he can't play 35 minutes, because his height and weight are his advantages and also his shackles, but as long as someone can stand up and share the trouble for Yao , the little giant is invincible.

The aging Duncan on the opposing Spurs is also in this state. He can only play 20 minutes, and he can still play the performance of the top five power forwards in history. Let him play 25 minutes, and Duncan can only play the performance of an All-Star forward. Playing 35 minutes, huh, huh, Shi Fu may be playing worse than the backup power forward.

Totoro understands the current situation on the field and the thoughts of the coaches on both sides. After Shi Fu came on the field, Totoro took all the ball rights of the Rockets into his hands, and then he was like a bomber carrying explosives to blow up a bunker. Like a hero, he rushed straight towards Duncan's bunker.

"boom!"

On the first ball, Totoro's dunk was firmly held down by Shi Buddha, but the two bodies collided in the air. Although Totoro was strong, Shi Buddha was also an inside player. The two sides took a step back from each other. , no one took advantage.

The Spurs turn back and Tony Parker hits a mid-range shot.

On the second ball, Totoro's dunk was blocked by Duncan again, and the situation was almost exactly the same as last time, only in a different direction.

Totoro fell to the floor in embarrassment, and Duncan felt uncomfortable, and the momentum of being rushed by Totoro was also brought to the ground.

But the difference in the back is that Totoro only took a second to get up with his hands on the floor and join in the retreat, but Shi Buddha didn't get up on the ground for a long time.

The two sides engaged in such intense physical contact that both Shifo and Totoro felt pain from their bodies.

But Totoro is young, his pain will slow down with the blood circulation during exercise, but Duncan is different, he can no longer squander his talent like a young man.

Parker made another quick layup and scored two points to close the score, but Popovich couldn't laugh.

"This damn bastard, you actually used yourself as a dynamite bag to hit Duncan, your uncle!"

The old man has long seen Totoro's attention in his heart, and he intends to do it once and for all, because Totoro knows very well that in this round of the series, he is not the most important point for Adelman, so he simply treats himself as a discarded Son, exchange with the most important general on the opposite side.

If this game is lost, there will be 6 more games if there are full games in the future, but how many games can Shi Fu persist in fighting against Totoro like this?People call him Stone Buddha just because he has a steady personality and a solid defense, not because he is really made of stone.
"Bowen, are you sleeping? Don't let him easily break through in front of you again. Back then, you could guard against a genuine James, why can't you guard against a copycat version now? Treat you as his shackles, don't Let him start it easily again!"

Popovich couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he had to yell at the team's defensive expert Bruce Bowen.

It’s just that the old man is a little too strong. The fact that Bowen can handle James three years ago does not mean that Bowen can handle James three years later. The Spurs’ defensive experts are old. Back then, this poor boy who couldn’t even participate in the draft He is already preparing to retire after playing this year, how could he still be able to guard against such violent players.

In addition, Totoro is not the same as James. His mid-range and long-range shots are not possessed by gorillas. Bowen defends him. One step over, this itself is an unsolvable proposition.

However, Bowen also knows that it is necessary to protect the cornerstone of the Spurs. The next time he defends, he will take the initiative to distance himself from Totoro, and at the same time signal to Finley next to him to come over and double-team Totoro at any time, intending to use the strength of the team to trap this side Dragonborn.

"I think you're thinking too much." Totoro smiled lightly. Of course he could see Bowen's plan, but he still had to stick to his original policy of consuming insiders.

But he will no longer use the original charging method to make the opponent wait for his own offensive foul. After he gets to the position slightly inside the three-point line, he will wave his hand towards Lowry.

Lowry passed the ball obediently, and then Totoro turned sideways and squeezed in towards Bowen.

"Hold the grass? Hit from the back?"

The defensive experts of the Spurs were stunned. When he was defending James, the little emperor didn’t have any post-up skills. If the little emperor had back-up skills back then, the team that won the finals might be the Cavaliers. Team up.

In the face of other people's breakthroughs, Bowen can more or less have a way to deal with it, but if he has to deal with this kind of back-up after another, the Spurs' defensive experts will be dumbfounded.

The difference between him and Totoro is at least 30 pounds. In this pure wrestling contest, he can't get any cleverness. He almost has to take three or four steps back when Totoro fights inside. How can such a gap be defended?

As the saying goes, dogs jump over the wall when they are anxious, and rabbits bite people when they are anxious. Bowen saw that this is not the way to go, so he had no choice but to do his own business, deliberately put his feet on chinchillas. On the only way to go, stand on tiptoe and wait for the chinchilla to step on his instep.

This is his special skill. Bowen's black feet were the three major killing moves as famous as Mutombo's iron elbow and Lambir's black fist. However, he seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, sometimes he has some It's not a good thing, especially if some bad aspects are too famous, because it will make the people next to you more cautious.

Totoro turned around as if nothing had happened, then stretched out its foot and stomped hard on Bowen's instep.

"Crack!"

The fighting spirit of the Spurs only felt a bone-cracking sound, and then he could no longer feel the soles of his feet.

"Ahhhh!"

A heart-piercing sound spread throughout the Dragonborn Cave Stadium. Totoro's kick was so hard. Even though Bowen was protected by sneakers, Totoro's kick definitely broke him into fractures.

The three referees were stunned by the side and refused to make a penalty. Totoro took advantage of everyone's blank space to throw the ball in, and the referee suspended the game.

As for the fact that he didn't suspend the game at the beginning, it was because the three referees really didn't see what happened between Totoro and Bowen.
Bowen screamed in pain on the field, and the feeling of breaking the metacarpal bone is not good. The most connected place in the human body and the brain is the footsteps. Now Bowen feels that he is living rather than dying.

The Spurs players were in a state of confusion, and several team doctors immediately came up to check on Bowen's condition. One of the most experienced doctors took off Bowen's basketball shoes and touched the soles of his feet, and he knew it was broken. One of the bones in his foot is gone now, this tm is no longer an injury, he is almost catching up with the disability, this time Bowen may not be injured but will really retire.

The three on-duty referees got together and watched the video more than ten times, and replayed it on the big screen for more than ten times. Only then did fans around the world understand what it was all about.

Bowen first laid his black feet, because as a back-up defender, his feet may stand apart, or stand back and forth, but no matter how he puts them, he can't put them under the opponent's feet. This is obviously an intention Yin Chinchilla.

And Totoro's step on it must have been intentional, because generally as long as you accidentally stepped on someone else, no matter how you stepped on it, it was impossible to step on the person into a comminuted fracture. You are not O'Neill, and Totoro is regarded as Evil against evil sanctioned Bowen.

Fans all over the world immediately argued fiercely about Totoro's behavior.

Some fans think that Totoro is too much. The opponent is just a veteran who is about to retire. Even if he played tricks first, Totoro is too ruthless. Don’t Chinese people advocate the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young?Why can't Totoro be humble?

Some fans think that Totoro has done a good job. Their point of view is that there are countless people in the bardo in Bowen's life. They think that the kick that kicked Nash's bridge of nose like a flying fairy back then hurt Nash. Are there still few innocent players in Wen's hands?If the Holy Mother pities Bowen now, then who will sympathize with those players who were hurt by Bowen, and this time it was Bowen who played tricks first, and no one can stop him from seeking death, just like a thief who robs others all his life, When he was about to steal for the last time in his life, he was caught and beaten up. Why, does such a thief deserve people's sympathy?
Of course, there are still some people who hold a neutral point of view. They are the purest fans and feel that small moves are also part of the NBA basketball court. It's Totoro's own fault for Wen's foot injury, and he didn't notice the opponent's trap.

The three referees discussed together for a long time, and finally decided to give Bowen, who may no longer be able to play, a first-degree malicious foul, and a technical foul to Totoro.

"Hold the grass? Can this also call me a foul? Are you kidding me?"

My Neighbor Totoro said that I don't understand it a bit. Recently, the referees of the league seem to be targeting him all the time. He can be involved in anything and give him a little punishment. Although he has hurt a lot of people recently, they are all others. Provocation first, he counterattacks later, he is justifiable self-defense ah hey!
And because his technical fouls are called quite busy, he can't remember whether he has committed 4 technical fouls or 5 technical fouls so far. The NBA stipulates that he will be suspended for 7 technical fouls in the playoffs After one game, Totoro felt that he was getting closer to this goal.

But no matter what he said, the referee still did not change the penalty. In fact, the referee did nothing wrong. Totoro was the victim every time. Putting a player off the field, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, won't he have even less b-number in the future?What if one day you directly beat someone to death without knowing the severity?He was sentenced to a technical foul because of his reputation as a popular star in the league, otherwise Cruise would have given him a malicious foul this time.

Popovich's head is even bigger. The Spurs don't have many players, and there are even fewer veterans who can play. Totoro is good this time, and directly kills one of the three souls in their team. After being beaten, it will be even more difficult for him to manipulate in future games.

But he couldn't condemn Totoro, because the big screen played it back more than a dozen times on the scene, and it had clearly conveyed a message to everyone.

That foot was stretched out by himself for me to step on.
