NBA: Starting with the undercut by Parker and Bowen

"Ah~~"

With a loud shout, Tony Parker collapsed to the floor.

His body was hunched over, his right hand covered his face, and his left palm kept pounding the ground, showing that he was in great pain.

The situation on the field changed drastically. The Utah fans who had been chanting "De-Fence" immediately fell silent and looked around, trying to understand what was happening on the field.

Not far from Parker, Yang Lin stood with a blank expression and a dazed look in his eyes, as if he had been frightened and was at a loss.

"You bastard!"

Seeing Parker fall to the ground injured, Robert Horry immediately went to Yang Lin, the culprit, and shoved him hard.

At this moment, Yang Lin was in a state of confusion and full of questions, so he was naturally completely unprepared.

Horry's forceful push immediately caused him to lose his balance and slide backward.

"Beep~~" "Beep~~" "Beep~~"

Seeing that the scene seemed to be getting chaotic, the referee blew his whistle.

While moving his feet to separate the furious Horry and the other Spurs players, he spoke a warning:

"Robert, don't make any unnecessary movements. If he commits a foul, I will penalize him, and you'd better step back."

"But he hurt Tony, he's a butcher!"

Horry persisted.

Butcher?

The referee was amused by Horry's words.

How dare you call someone a butcher?

If it weren't for the law and the protection of the referees, you would have been beaten to death by the Phoenix team in Game 4 of the last round.

The referee felt that he and his team had already been shameless enough, but he never expected that there would be a master like Horry in the world.

With a wide grin and glaring eyes, the referee shouted at Horry again:

"This is an NBA game, and I'm the referee. If it's a flagrant foul, I'll punish him."

"Robert, if you don't want to continue this game, I can make you leave the field right now."

Horry was about to say something, but the referee's warning reminded the other Spurs players on the court.

Ginobili quickly covered Horry's mouth with one hand to stop him from speaking, and with the other hand he grabbed Horry's arm and dragged him toward the Spurs' bench.

An unexpected injury occurred on the field, and the game was suspended.

At the signal of a linesman, the Spurs' medical team quickly entered the court.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was spewing profanities on the sidelines, spitting on the referee's face.

It was only because the injured player was a Spurs player that the referee gave him a technical foul.

Yang Lin lay on the floor, watching the chaos on the court, with no one paying attention to him. He got up alone and silently walked towards the home team, the Jazz, on the bench.

On the way back, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry about it, it's not your fault, get some rest! You might have to play later!"

Tony Parker's unexpected injury left Sloan with mixed feelings.

I hope Parker is alright and can return to the court, so that the Utah Jazz can win with dignity and not have to endure the same criticism they received from the Spurs in the last round.

But another voice in his mind told Sloan that it would be best if Parker was injured and forced to leave the game, so that they could firmly grasp the initiative in the game.

After all, Tony Parker was incredibly strong at that time, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the Finals MVP this season.

In the first three games of this series, Parker averaged 21 points and 9 assists, making him the Spurs' second-leading contributor in the series, which puts them up 2-1 against the Utah Jazz.

Parker's shooting percentage was not good in the first and second quarters of this game, making only 2 of 8 shots and scoring only 4 points from the field.

But he is very fast and extremely lethal.

Despite his poor shooting touch, he actively created scoring opportunities, earning seven free throws before halftime.

The main problem was that he, along with Ginobili, created foul trouble for the Jazz.

The game is not even halfway through, and here's the home team, the Utah Jazz:

Point guard Deron Williams has 2 fouls, point guard Derek Fisher has 3 fouls, and first backup guard Gordon Giricek has 3 fouls;

The three main forwards, Okur, Boozer, and Kirilenko, all have two fouls.

Damn it, if they continue this kind of offensive threat in the second half, the Utah Jazz will have no chance at all.

Clearly, while Sloan may have a bad temper, he's no match for Popovich when it comes to shamelessness.

Is this why he struggles to win a championship?

After dispersing the players from both sides, the three referees went to the technical table and began reviewing the previous video footage in order to arrive at their final ruling.

The referee was watching the video, and the replay was also shown on the large screen above the Energy Solutions Stadium.

On the big screen, Parker has the ball, Robert Horry sets a screen, and Yang Lin, the defender, tries to squeeze in and chase him down.

Parker took a floater just inside the free-throw line, and Horry turned around to prepare for the rebound.

As he ran, Horry subtly gave Yang Lin, who was chasing him, a shove.

Yang Lin stumbled, and in an attempt to regain his balance, his right foot unconsciously slipped under Parker's cylinder, and then...

"Shh~~shh~~shh~~~"

"The murderer, Robert! The murderer, Robert!"

Upon seeing the replay, the Utah fans at the scene immediately protested. They initially thought they were in the wrong and were prepared to keep a low profile.

Unexpectedly, the responsibility did not lie with their own players at all.

Damn it, he secretly pushed Jazz players during the game; after Parker got injured, he pushed Jazz players down with a straight face.

Who gave you the courage?

Does shamelessness really make you invincible?

Fortunately, we now have video footage, and it's even multi-camera.

Otherwise, Yang Lin might have been truly wronged.

After all, Robert Horry's self-righteous demeanor just now made it hard to believe that the root of everything was his doing.

The three referees at the technical table looked grumpy after watching the video, as if they had swallowed flies.

They never imagined that Horry could be so shameless.

Hey~tui~~Disgusting

Standing in front of the scorer's table, the referee pointed to Horry on the Spurs' bench.

"Beep~~Beep~~" Two whistles sounded, followed by a technical foul gesture.

Then the referee pointed at Horry, blew his whistle, and made an offensive foul gesture.

The Utah Jazz received two technical fouls and were awarded possession of the ball.

As soon as the result was announced, the fans in the stadium cheered loudly.

Seeing the call was so unfavorable to his team, Popovich immediately yelled at the referees, "Where's your conscience? My player is injured. You bunch of sons of bitches!"

The referee looked angry and wanted to blow the whistle to issue a technical foul. However, considering that the Spurs did indeed have an injured player, he ultimately showed leniency.

He pointed to the arena's big screen and said righteously, "My rulings are based on my eyes and my conscience."

"Greg, if you want to stay on the sidelines, don't let me hear you complain again."

Fisher replaced Yang Lin and took the technical foul penalty, restarting the game.

Sitting on the edge of the home team's bench, Yang Lin pondered his current situation.

He seems to have been reborn!

It seems like I've traveled through time again!

Hmm... that sounds a bit complicated.

He said he was reborn because he is still himself.

He is still Yang Lin, his father is still his father, his mother is still his mother, and his relatives and friends are still his relatives and friends.

The world doesn't seem to have changed much.

For example, the current NBA 06-07 Western Conference Finals are still between the San Antonio Spurs and the Utah Jazz.

This year, the Dallas Mavericks were once again upset by the Golden State Warriors in the first round, the infamous Utah Jazz still managed to defeat the Houston Rockets in a Game 7, and Steve Nash was injured by Horry in the last round...

The reason it's called time travel is because his personal life trajectory is somewhat different from his previous life.

In his previous life, he did not take his uncle's advice and came to the United States to study; in this life, he took his uncle's advice and came to the United States.

He was quite interested in basketball when he was young and joined the university team.

His basketball talent.

Hmm... how should I put it!

A genius among ordinary people, and an ordinary person among geniuses.

He also has a wise understanding of his own talents.

So, during my junior year of college, I signed up for the NBA draft, preparing to pursue my dream in my final year.

If that doesn't work out, I'll go back to China after graduating in my senior year.

Despite 06 being a weak year for talent shows, he unsurprisingly failed to be selected.

In early March of this year, the Utah Jazz experienced a wave of injuries.

By chance, Yang Lin signed a ten-day contract, which was later renewed for another ten days, and finally became a guaranteed base salary contract.

He has actually had very little experience playing in the NBA, and before today, he had never even made the Utah Jazz's 12-man playoff roster.

This isn't like the 2006 second-round pick, Dee Brown, who was sick before the game and only then did he get the chance to make the playoff roster.

Even more fortunately, the Jazz players were in foul trouble today, and Sloan, on a whim, substituted him in.

After figuring everything out, Yang Lin leaned back in his chair and watched the game absentmindedly.

Both Yang Lin and Yang Lin from different worlds understand that their talent is not enough to support them in their pursuit of success in the NBA.

But having a trip to the NBA playoffs will undoubtedly be a wonderful memory.

However, Yang Lin's brows furrowed very quickly.

Is he a reincarnated person or a time traveler? He's sitting on the bench of an NBA team. Is he...?

Without thinking, he called out in his mind: System, is the system god here?

The moment the thought arose, a seemingly transparent screen appeared before him, displaying the following text:

"Randomly triggered skill: Army of Justice (Skill triggered, reward not claimed)"

? ? ? ?

Yang Lin was speechless and almost couldn't hold back.

Is this my system? Why does it feel so cheap?

For a moment, Yang Lin felt like he didn't want to play anymore.

Sometimes!

There's no need to be so hard on yourself.

What kind of system do you need?

As a reborn individual with memories of the next twenty years, I could easily become a tycoon, so why would I greedily want a system?

One should not be too greedy.

Although the system was rudimentary, with only a line of about twenty words on the transparent screen in front of him, it deeply attracted Yang Lin's attention.

Skills are triggered randomly.

What does this mean? Does it mean that the host cannot actively trigger skills?

The skill name is "Army of Justice," and it seems I've triggered it?

What did I do today?

Yang Lin pondered deeply.

It seems, probably, maybe...

I played for less than a minute today, and then I tripped Tony Parker and knocked him off the court.

This is not a good thing, and it can hardly be considered a just thing, right?

If it were Bruce Bowen, Robert Horry, or even Gregg Popovich on the Spurs bench, Yang Lin would accept it as an act of justice.

Tony Parker...

Just as Yang Lin was completely baffled, a figure on the field came into his view.

No way?

Yang Lin shook his head uncertainly at first.

But soon he nodded and muttered, "It should indeed be an act of justice."
