This Forward is Not Serious

Durant has been careful enough. When he confronted Brother Antetokounmpo, he forcibly changed his landing habits and landed on both feet like Kobe Bryant.

In fact, this did work. In the last game, Antetokounmpo had been a little anxious, and he had "confronted" Durant, but it was not successful.

That's why he was so confident when he was on the phone with Lin Ying.

But now this result proves one thing: when you are being targeted, it is really hard to guard.

Because of this round, Durant's matchup is not Antetokounmpo at all!

He hit Biyombo off the pick-and-roll and then took a step back jumper.

Even because of his habit of facing off against Antetokounmpo, he made a big move, but he just didn't want to give people a chance to attack.

Then what he never expected was that Antetokounmpo was padding his feet from behind!

In the fans' field of vision, Antetokounmpo was defending from the back, ready to block Durant from the back door.

As a result, his block was unsuccessful, but his foot was successfully placed under Durant's.

Durant lay on the ground for a while after being stepped on his feet, and was finally helped off the court by his teammates.

Durant retired from injury, and the Bucks eventually reversed and won the game.

After the game, the big score between the two sides came to 2-1.

The Hornets still lead, but everyone knows what the loss of Durant means to the Hornets.

Antetokounmpo became the target of criticism from fans and the media after the game.

"This is how you win? I used to like him because of Antetokounmpo's deeds (getting my first salary and sending it all to my family, so I didn't have the money to take a taxi and go back to the arena), but I liked him. Now he makes me feel sick."

"This method is really lacking in basketball spirit, and it is used twice in a season, and both times are the core of the opponent. Does this make everyone learn how to step foot in the future?"

"What's your Jordan? Who's your Lin Ying? There's a way to confront me and avoid my footsteps, that's called a real superstar! Manual dog head"

"So what is it that makes an originally high-quality player look like this? I'm not Sister Li!"

"As a long-term fan of letters, I really don't understand why he became like this, filial piety, hard work, sunshine, inspiration, you know? He never even complained about his city, at this point he Much better than LeBron."

"Maybe he's as right as LeBron, but just really wants to win?"

"I think what you said may be the correct answer. When you can't beat others with strength, you always think of some other ways."

"Shit! Why do you have to learn from LeBron when there is a better role model like Lin?"

"Because that's the shortcut for basketball."

"How can you hack LeBron with anything!"

"Is it considered black to state the facts?"

...

Just when the fans were swearing, the Hornets' subsequent injury report released a sigh of relief.

Durant's injury is less than expected, he only suffered a calf strain, and did not expect the kind of season-ending major injury.

This news is still very surprising. After all, the calf was injured at the end of the foot, which sounds incredible.

But after a closer look at the video playback, it seems that everything can be explained again.

Because Durant has been guarding his feet all the time, and fell to the side the moment he landed and felt something under his feet.

Is this lucky in misfortune?

However, even if it is just a calf strain, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to rest for at least two weeks. Durant basically cannot play this round of series.

The Hornets' injury report finally became a "cooler" on social media.

Social media's denunciation of Antetokounmpo has significantly weakened.

People always like to use consequences to judge the degree. It's not a serious injury, so Antetokounmpo's behavior seems to be less heinous.

It's just that the series reversal of the Hornets and Bucks can't be changed.

In terms of the Hornets' scoring share this season, Durant accounted for one-third.

This one-third of the firepower is suddenly lost, and it is unrealistic for you to let others fill it, not to mention the loss at the strategic level.

So in the end, only the Hornets fans were the most disgusted and the most angry.

And worse things followed.

After social media gradually cooled down, Antetokounmpo finally dared to stand up for an interview with reporters.

Antetokounmpo did not shy away from apologizing to Durant when he was stepped on during the game.

That would have been a good thing, but the problem was the way he apologized, which felt familiar.

"I'm really sorry about that (Durant injury), but I never hurt that athlete on purpose, we're all in the same industry, we all know we're here to work on our bodies to make money, and I Knowing how important the body is to the players, if you get injured, it will be very stressful and difficult, and it will be difficult for the team to win, but I really didn't think about hurting them on purpose."

This wave of near-standard answers is exactly the same as that after James stepped on Granger.

But this is not the most extraordinary, the most extraordinary is his answer after the reporter asked.

"But there are a lot of fans attacking you on social media right now, do you know why?"

This was originally a very instructive question from the reporter, and the standard answer was to change the subject, but Antetokounmpo seemed very "real" at this time.

"Of course I know, because it was Durant who was accidentally caught. I've said it a long time ago. They have a lot of fans. The Texas Twins, Durant has the largest fan group, so I've been criticized too much. Let me have a lot of black fans, but I don't care, because all I want in the end is the championship, history will only remember how many championships you won, and history will only remember your honor."

Antetokounmpo's remarks can be said to have made social media, which has fallen back, fry the pot again.

If the former sentence just makes people feel a little uncomfortable, then the latter sentence is really true in the words of the fans, no face!

But this is the NBA, selective reporting by the media, or targeted shaping, will make fans believe in their character.

But it's only after experiencing something special that the star's true character is exposed to the spotlight.

Brother Antetokounmpo has exposed his unscrupulous nature in this wave.

Moreover, these remarks also made those fans who were hesitant to wander to determine that Antetokounmpo's stepping was intentional.

Then came the cathartic anger.

One thing that is easily overlooked is that Antetokounmpo is not American per se.

For American fans, there is absolutely no guilt in this spray!

Not only fans, but on ESPN's side, a. Smith directly sprayed on the show.

"Who gave you the power to treat an extremely bad stadium behavior with such a tone? You can hurt others wantonly if you want a championship? You can use such a dirty way to abolish the core of the opponent. Players? Who the **** gave you such power?!"

Smith's anger is justifiable, because Porzingis was the star of hope for the Knicks, and Durant was the Texas Gemini who created the Nets dynasty with Lin Ying before. These are New York's treasures. .

And it's not the end either.

Just when the public opinion was still limited to fans and commentators, some players stood up and spoke out.

The one who spoke was Lin Ying.

"We can do anything to win, but we don't do anything. If everyone does that, basketball will lose their fan base."

Lin Ying's words seemed innocuous, but they were on point.

Because he mentioned the core point, the fans.

The foundation of the NBA is fans. If a large number of fans are lost, it will be a huge economic loss for the NBA.

Lin Ying spoke up, and some players also came forward to criticize Antetokounmpo's statement.

This one, um, includes James.

"We can find a lot of ways to win games and win championships, but we can't do it in ways that hurt our peers."

Don't be surprised.

Because in the big public opinion environment, standing up to criticize Brother Antetokounmpo at this time is because his consciousness is correct and he can gain a large number of fans.

As for what you've done before, it doesn't matter at this time, after all...

The Internet is often memoryless.

So Antetokounmpo is still young this time, thinking that the fall in social media is almost over, but he never expected to dig a big hole for himself.

This time the pressure is all on the league side.

Before this, stepping foot in the NBA was not uncommon. Bowen, Pachulia, Green, and James all had a great impact, but the penalties they received were very small or none at all.

Because the nature of footsteps is very different from fighting and fighting, he is at most in the category of malicious fouls, and the league's punishment for malicious fouls itself is not severe.

You've seen players get suspended for a dozen or even dozens of games because of a fight, but it's rare for a player to be suspended for a malicious foul. Even if there are usually two or three games.

But now, with so much pressure from public opinion, even Lin Ying and James have spoken out one after another as players. The league will definitely not be able to deal with it as usual this time.

Because if it is not dealt with, other players will follow this, and the league will be in chaos.

...

On this day, the series G4 between the Nets and the Raptors continued in Toronto, and this game was very crucial for both sides.

Because the Nets won the match point in the next game, but judging from the previous situation, the Nets are now the disadvantaged side.

The formation of the two sides before the game is very interesting.

After all, the biggest reason why the Raptors were able to win the last game was because of the adjustment in the lineup.

So whether Lu will also make a fuss about the lineup is worth paying attention to.

Then they got the answer, no.

Lu still used the previous starting lineup.

And after the game started, fans also found that the Nets' play style did not change much compared to the previous two games.

It is still the singles attack of Lin Ying and Jokic.

Lu looks like Jiang Lang is exhausted?

Thinking about it carefully, the outside world's expectations for Lu were a little too high.

After all, in the first two years of coaching, 74 wins + 75 wins and two championships, this starting point is directly at the top of the pyramid.

But it's unrealistic to think about it rationally, and it has a lot to do with the Nets' roster.

Now the Nets have so many cards in their hands, not to mention Lue, you can't do much if you call Phil Jackson, Popovich, and Sloan.

However, as the game deepened, fans still found some differences in the Nets.

The most obvious is Lin Ying's desire to play. He seems to be more aggressive than the previous two games!

When a player who has scored 50+ points in a row is still scoring points, it feels outrageous.

Is this really that durable?

But if it is detailed enough, it is easy to think of the previous incident of Durant being stepped on.

Two things that seem to be unrelated, but there is an intersection, and that intersection is people.

Lin Ying must be angry now. If the Nets were playing the Bucks instead of the Raptors, he would probably have swallowed Antetokounmpo alive.

But unfortunately it was the Raptors, and his anger could only be vented at the Raptors.

But that's not all of the Nets' game tonight.

Lu didn't change much in the opening tactics, but as the game went on, his ability to change on the spot began to show.

He noticed that there was a person on the team who was in very good shape tonight, not Jokic, but Allen Crabbe.

Because of the Raptors' defensive strategy, the Nets' main point of attack is Lin Ying, and everyone else is trying to contain them.

That is, in this process, Crabbe hit two consecutive three-pointers.

This guy's hands are hot!

Lu caught this at once, and directly added Crabbe's tactics when he paused.

Don't think that this is something normal people would do. There are not many coaches who dare to do this in such an anxious game.

Because you play step by step, it is the responsibility of the entire team if you lose, but if you make changes, if you still lose, then the responsibility is yours alone.

Then, Crabbe did not disappoint Lu's expectations at all, or in other words greatly exceeded Lu's expectations!

In the whole game, he made 8 of 10 shots from beyond the arc and scored 27 points in a single game!

Yes, in addition to the 3-pointer he made, he made 3 free throws and no other sports goals.

But those threes he made were enough to change the game!

121 to 111, the Nets won.

After winning this game, they rewrote the big score to 3 to 1 and got the match point of the series!

Post-match press conference~www.wuxiahere.com~ Lu took Lin Ying and Crabbe to the press conference happily.

In tonight's game, Lin Ying scored 50 points, expanding the consecutive 50+ games in the playoffs to three games, setting a record that no one has ever estimated before and no one has come since, leaving Jordan behind again.

Although, he looks a little pale, which is obviously a sign of excessive physical exertion.

However, in this press conference, Lu Chui's key person was not Lin Ying, because in his heart, Lin Ying's actions did not surprise him.

The key person he blows, of course, is Crabbe, and he also uses an ingenious way.

"I was chatting with Lin two years ago, and he told me that his college coach, and now the team's assistant coach, Rick Barnes, had a conversation with him, and that paragraph really impressed me, so I'm going to quote it today.

There are two most important days in a person's life, one is the day you were born, and the other..."

When Lu said this, he paused for a while, and the reporters below quickly had the following words in their minds.

Barnes' famous quote, which became a household name when the University of Texas won the championship: "The most important two days in life, one is the day you were born, and the other is the day you know why you were born, and you are born for the championship."

But what Lu said next was not what they thought, and it made everyone at the scene couldn't help laughing.

"It's your birthday."

Allen Crabbe, who had the best performance of his career, was on his birthday when he shot 8 of 11 from beyond the arc for a career-high 41 points.

And today is his birthday.

When Lu said this, he turned to look at Crabbe with a doting face.

If he could, he wanted Crabbe to have a birthday every day.
