NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 179 The King Will Never Kneel ([-]-in-[-])

Damn it, what are you talking about?
Was called for 2 fouls in less than 3 minutes!
Get sent off directly!

Divac couldn't bear it anymore. Anyway, I have been sent off. Now I have to ask the referee, what on earth did you call?
Divac didn't think about the league's instructions at all.

How could it be so clumsy?

You're not acting anymore, are you?

Therefore, Divac felt that it must be a personal grudge between himself and the referee Bavetta, although he did not know where this grudge came from.

But this time, Weber took the initiative to stop Divac.

"Vlad, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after the game."

Divac looked at Webber with some confusion, and Webber didn't hide it, "We need you in the finals, so don't suspend yourself."

After hearing Weber's words, Divac calmed down and thought about why he was so impulsive.

You are so old, how can you act like a stupid young man and argue with the referee on the court?

Even if you are being targeted, you shouldn't be so emotional.

Now is the critical moment of the decisive battle, and his leaving the field will inevitably have a bad impact. If it affects the mentality of his teammates again, then he will really become the culprit!
"Chris, control the pace and don't let them be affected!"

Weber nodded.

This kind of thing happened countless times in his long basketball career.

Sometimes the collapse of a team may be due to an inconspicuous reason.

Seeing that Pollard had already walked to the sidelines, Divac was still a little worried. He turned around and shouted to his teammates, "For victory, for the championship!"

"For the victory, for the championship!"

Lu Yuanzhi was the first to understand Divac's thoughts and shouted accordingly.

"For the victory, for the championship!"

Bibby, Christie and Webb also understood what Divac meant and responded loudly together!
Seeing that the morale of his teammates was still high and seemed unaffected, Divac ran to the center line, hugged Pollard and left the field.

But within a few seconds, Kobe broke through Christie for a layup, and the referee blew the whistle again.

"White No. 13, defensive foul, 2 free throws."

what happened?

Divac has already been sent off, why are the foul calls still continuing?
Is Christie's defensive move clean this time?
That's definitely not clean!

This is the playoffs, who doesn't take some action?

If you want to find faults, you can definitely find suspected foul actions.

But in the first three quarters, Christie kept making defensive moves like this and was not called off.

Forget about Christie, were the Lakers' actions clean?
Not to mention the Lakers, among all the playoff teams, which player's actions are clean?
In addition to eye defense, which player's defensive actions in the playoffs can be clean?

Isn't strong confrontation the main theme of the playoffs?
A superstar whistle for Kobe?
Do not!
Next, Fox and Horry both enjoyed whistle-stop preferential treatment, and even the idiot George who came on the bench had this preferential treatment.

The emotions of the Kings players were inevitably affected.

I work hard to run tactics and attack, and my opponent can stand on the free throw line as long as he dribbles the ball into the frontcourt.

No matter who it is, everyone has emotions!

anger!
impatient!

confused!

low!

For four full minutes, the Lakers failed to make a single offensive attack, but the score difference between the two sides continued to approach.

Because every time the Kings were about to succeed on defense, Bavetta would give the Lakers a whistle to save the Lakers' offense.

96: 92!

In 4 minutes, the Kings, whose mentality was affected, only scored 2 goals and scored a pitiful 5 points, while the Lakers caught up with the score by making 16 of 11 free throws and not scoring in a single sports game.

Staples Arena roared with cheers.

The fans are not fools. Of course they saw that something was wrong with the referee Bavetta.

But this is the home court of the Lakers, and their own team is enjoying preferential whistle treatment. No fool would shout the slogan "Referees are stupid".

They hoped that Bavetta would keep playing like this until the end of the game, helping the Lakers win the game at home and even the series score to 3:3.

No matter how flexible the moral bottom line is, Lakers fans cannot confidently say that there is nothing wrong with the referee.

They could only use louder cheers to cover up their guilty conscience.

The Kings coaching bench was also at a loss for words.

How to do?
This time, his team faced not only the opposing Lakers, but also three referees.

Adelman and his assistant coaches didn't know how to deal with this unexpected situation.

It wasn't until the official timeout came at 5 minutes and 59 seconds that the Kings coaching staff gathered together hurriedly to discuss countermeasures.

But what countermeasures can be discussed?
The alliance obviously doesn't want it anymore, it just wants 8 against 5!

The referees, referees, witnesses, organizers, and co-organizers all belong to me. How can you fight with me?
Lu Yuanzhi looked at Weber, Pollard, Bibby, Christie, Turkoglu, Funderburk, and other water fountain managers around him. They all looked dull and seemed to have been blown away by the referee.

They seem to have accepted their fate?

They don't seem to want to resist?

Have they never heard of "Princes, generals, ministers, and ministers have the right to be kind"?
Haven’t they heard that “where there is oppression, there is resistance”?
Oh, they really haven't heard of it.

The "happy education" they have received since childhood is eager to train these low-class people into happy beasts who are happy and submissive. Who will tell them to rise up and resist?
But no, we must not just admit defeat.

If we admit defeat here, even if we return to Sacramento's home court for the next game, everyone will be disheartened.

How can you reach the top of competitive sports without a competitive spirit?
Lu Yuanzhi knew it was time to stand up.

Although I am just a rookie, if I don't stand up at this time, the Kings will never become the Kings!
The Kings will become the "Queens"!
A bunch of eggless cowards!
"Clap clap clap!"

Clear high-fives sounded on the bench, and all the Kings players looked at Lu Yuanzhi, who stood up abruptly, as if they had been awakened.

"Chris, as a kid who was bullied in the neighborhood where you grew up, what can you do to stop being bullied?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Weber and asked a question that no one expected.

Being bullied?
Weber grew up tall and strong, and showed his basketball talent early. It is impossible for such a person to be bullied in the neighborhood. Even a gang member will protect you.

Because everyone hopes that there will be an NBA star in their neighborhood. It is not a sense of honor, but a real benefit.

I protected you when you were a child. Without me, you might have died early in a dark alley.

Now that you have become a big star and made a lot of money, why don’t you give back to everyone?

Therefore, we often see NBA stars enjoying themselves with their childhood friends and friends. In addition to those NBA players who have become rich overnight and want to return home in glory, another thing is to thank the big guys in the neighborhood for their care, so that they can survive until the day they become famous.

A culture that is difficult for us to understand is the daily life of NBA superstars who come out of various slum neighborhoods.

Although Weber thinks Lu Yuanzhi's question is a bit strange, his stereotype tells him that Chinese people are always the smartest.

After trying his best to recall the chatter among the friends, Weber answered uncertainly, "What if he got a gun?"

This time it was Lu Yuanzhi's turn to go down.

No, brother, I didn’t have this option in my growing up experience.I thought you would say that the child who was bullied started to resist and fight back, which made the bully retreat.

But what the hell do you mean by "getting a gun"?

However, Lu Yuanzhi reacted quickly.

It’s okay, maybe this will have a better effect!
"Yes, Chris, if that kid gets a gun, no one will dare to do anything."

"Now that we are being targeted by the alliance, shouldn't we also get a 'gun'?"

Downtime is contagious.

This time it was the turn of other Kings players to go down.

what's the situation?
Max is going to pull out a gun on a national broadcast?

Seeing the stunned looks of his teammates, Lu Yuanzhi explained, "Guys, look above your head and around you. There are dozens of guns there!"

"Those cameras are our guns!"

Bobby Jackson was the first to react, "You mean those cameras?"

"That's right!" Lu Yuanzhi nodded, "Today's game will be broadcast live across the United States!"

"The league's ugly behavior will be transmitted to every fan through television signals."

"But so what? Isn't the league doing it in front of the entire United States and the whole world?" Gerald Wallace was a little confused.

"It's different. If you just accept it and kneel down, no one will look down on you, and no one will care about the injustice you have suffered!" Turkoglu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Well, I’m not talking about you, a certain sound.

"Yes, just like in the movie, heroes never give up, and we will win everyone's respect!"

"Not just respect, but if a loss in this game is inevitable, we can put a lot of pressure on the league to not come back to us in the next game."

"Yes, take out the gun and let the whole country see it so that they don't dare to do anything casually next time!"

"That's right, when it comes to strength, the Lakers are no match for us. We have to be wary of them trying to mess with us in the next game!"

After being reminded by Lu Yuanzhi, other players also opened their minds.

I would rather die standing than be a coward and not fight back!
At some point, Adelman stood behind the players and heard everyone's speeches.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to boost morale, but now, it seems that he doesn't need it anymore.

"You guys, you are right! Don't think about anything else now, go on the field, kick the opponent's ass, and tear off the league's fig leaf!"

"Hoohoho!"

A sudden outburst of shouting from the Kings bench drew the attention of live cameras.

what happened?
The Kings, who were so lifeless before and seemed ready to surrender, now have high morale?
"Chris, Doug, Michael, Scott, look at me!"

Seeing the camera turning around, Lu Yuanzhi shouted, then walked to the camera, stretched out 5 fingers with his left hand, and 3 more with his right hand, shook his head, and shouted "NO! NO! NO!"

Weber, Christie, Bibby and Pollard immediately understood what Lu Yuanzhi meant.

Is this a provocation to the alliance?

Do not!
This is a declaration to the American audience that the king will never surrender and it is impossible for the king to kneel!

Later, Weber, Christie, Bibby and Pollard took turns walking in front of the camera and doing the same actions as Lu Yuanzhi.

On the TNT commentary stage, Barkley and Smith saw this scene, and of course they understood what the Kings players were expressing, but they couldn't say it clearly.

But after holding it in for a while, Barkley suddenly slammed the table, "I can't bear it anymore. Even if TNT tells me to get out tomorrow, I will still say it!"

"Well done, Kings!"

"Even if they encountered unfair treatment, they still didn't give up!"

"They still have high morale!"

"They are ready to declare war on the referee on duty!"

"They are preparing to..."

"Charles!" Smith quickly interrupted Barkley. If he continued, there would be no room for turning around.

Although the two have been bickering on the show, they have a good relationship in private, and Smith does not want Barkley to be banned.

Barkley wanted to continue spraying, but after seeing Smith's concerned expression, he finally endured it.

What I fear most is the heartbreaking concern of my friends.

Moreover, what good would it do to pierce the last layer of window paper?

Make the alliance more unscrupulous?
Okay, that's it. I hope the next game will be a fair match.

On the court, the Kings were constantly called for fouls, and the Lakers kept getting to the free throw line.

Pollard left the game with 6 fouls, Funderburk left the game with 6 fouls, Christie left the game with 6 fouls, and Bibby left the game with 6 fouls!
In the last minute, standing on the court were Weber with 1 fouls, Lu Yuanzhi with 5 fouls, Turkoglu with 5 fouls, Gerald Wallace with 4 fouls and Bobby Jackson with 4 fouls.

But the Kings didn't give up!

On the court, the Kings players are still running hard and trying to score!
Off the court, all the players who were sent off did not sit down and stood on the sidelines to cheer for their teammates.

Although all three of the Kings' interior centers were sent off and Webber could only go up to O'Neal, the Lakers still had difficulty breaking through the Kings' defense and scoring in sports battles.

Every player on the Kings team had fire in their eyes, trying their best to defend and fight, and never let anyone from the Lakers take an easy shot.

104:108, the Lakers have led by 4 points.

But on the court, it was the Lakers players who looked ashen.

I don't know what kind of curse, but all their sports shots missed the frame.

The 5 points scored in these 16 minutes were still free throws.

O'Neal, Kobe, Fox, Horry and Fisher stood on the free throw line dully.

They scored, but they didn't seem happy.

They went ahead, but they seemed to be completely defeated.

They will be the winners of this game, but they seem to be nailed to the pillar of shame of defeat.

O'Neal and Kobe looked at the referee in disgust.

This kind of victory is not what we want.

We would rather lose spectacularly than win so despicably!

Stern, league leaders, do you think this helps us?

Do not!
This is putting us on the fire!

The Lakers had the ball. Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt, exchanged glances with O'Neal, and then the two stood in the center circle and stopped attacking.

Do not!
We are the pride of this era and must never be pawns of the alliance!

Don’t you want to control the outcome of the game?
Okay, I won’t play with you anymore!

　Brothers, sorry for being late!

　　It’s hard to control my emotions in this piece. I wrote it and deleted it, deleted it and wrote it again.
　　But if the plot is not well written, I think the soul of the book will be gone.
　　Apologize again, I will continue to code the following content!
