Chapter 217: Not Admitting Defeat (2nd Update)
Outside the door, Van Gundy left quietly with the other two assistant coaches, and some of the things that were supposed to be said were not much to say, and with a sensible player, the coach could save a lot of things.
For example, Coach Phil Jackson, when Kobe Bryant was there, was a Zen master and rarely spoke.
The second half started quickly.
Spectator fans who had just watched a cheerleading show and ate a burger noticed that the style of the second half had completely changed, and the Magic team had become chaotic.
On the defensive end, the Magic team has more fouls and the scale has become larger.
In the third ball, Matthews wanted to squeeze Redick away, but was pushed away by Redick, Matthews shot and hit the iron, and Redick was bullish, and Redick did not back down.
Qin Yang stood up from the bench and waved a towel.
"Well done!"
The director turned the camera to Qin Yang at the right time, and the commentator was dumbfounded.
"After the start of the second half, the change in the Magic team was obvious, playing more passionately, but losing some of the organization, this time it was the clash between Redick and Matthews, and it was unbelievable that Redick, who has always been a Hollywood actor on the court, would have such a big move, which is a bit of a big change."
Redick has been a representative of the appearance of league players since he entered the league, and when he was in college, Redick was an NCAA superstar, handsome, played well, and even Hollywood companies invited Redick to make movies.
Redick has a good look, and he is also known in the NBA for being good at three-point shooting, and as for the defensive end, he has always been a dispensable representative.
But this time, Redick's scale is quite large, and he directly stepped back from Matthews and let Matthews shoot and hit the iron.
The referee would take a look at the action and blew a foul on Redick, Matthews made 1 of 2 free throws, Qin Yang and other teammates were better on the sidelines, and teammates on the court also came up to high-five to celebrate.
Redick glanced at the sidelines, smiled, and prepared to attack.
The other players saw that Redick was playing like this, so they were naturally not welcome, and the range of action was getting bigger and bigger, the Magic team attacked, and after Blantonbas received the pass, he directly turned around and made a successful layup.
But Millsap, who was defending Brandonbass, fell straight to the ground.
Blandonbass's template is Millsap, this game, the same inside substitute, the technical characteristics are very similar, Blandonbass is an all-round downwind, was pressed to the ground and rubbed for a long time.
This time, Brandonbass is revenge.
Only this time Blandonbass was awarded a malicious foul and was sent off directly.
Millsap fell to the ground, bleeding from his nose and rested for a while before playing.
With Blandonbass down, it's even harder for the Magic to play.
Although the Magic team is very strong inside, the technical characteristics of each player are different, and Ryan Anderson is on the court, and the interior defense is obviously much worse.
Five minutes into the third quarter, Qin Yang came on the court.
After coming on the court, the first ball went straight to the back and broke through, knocked away Kirilenko and hit the board.
Back on the defensive end, Deron Williams broke through Qin Yang and made a quick stop jump shot, Qin Yang jumped up from the head to block, did not cover the ball, but hit Deron Williams' arm hard.
The little fat man Delong turned around and fought with Qin Yang.
Qin Yang did not hesitate at all, stood around the Jazz team players without giving in at all, and pushed away several players who wanted to come up and take advantage of them in a row, and the Jazz players dared not speak out in anger, and did not dare to make a move at all.
Now the alliance is not what it used to be, and the punishment for daring to do it is very serious.
The Magic players came straight to the court, and Matt Barnes, who was sent off, was even about to rush to the court, but was fortunately stopped by others. If there is a conflict between players on the field, as long as they don't fight, it's not a big deal, but if the players on the bench rush up, it's really a big deal, and the punishment will be severe.
The referee separated the players, watched the video, and then sent Qin Yang off the court, and then gave the Jazz three cards to the game.
The Magic shoot free throws, the Jazz attack.
It seems that the Magic team did not suffer, but Qin Yang was sent off, and he couldn't play in this game, which was a huge advantage for the Magic team.
Then, the situation of the game became clearer.
But the game is getting harder and harder.
The scale of the game between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, the Magic players are getting bigger and bigger, the two teams have to have a dispute over every ball, the players have committed four and five fouls one after another, and the pace of the game is extremely slow.
Five minutes into the fourth quarter, Howard left the court with six fouls, and the Magic lost even more suspense.
By the end of the game, the Magic had lost by 22 points.
88-110 points loss.
But after the game, the Magic team did not have the slightest sense of gloom and dissatisfaction.
When interviewed, the Magic players were very flat and did not express any dissatisfaction.
Qin Yang:
'It was a very normal game, we were not in good shape, we were away from home a couple of games in a row, we were tired and we were playing a little bit out of shape. It's not something we want to lose, but the players are in good shape, we're all working hard, we're all working for the same goal, and I think we're going to do better in the playoffs this year. ”
Howard:
"It's been a bit of a problem for us because everybody isn't going to play anymore, which is unique in all the games I've been through over the years, maybe only in Utah, and it's nice that my teammates and I were still able to play well when we weren't in good shape."
Qin Yang and Howard occasionally expressed their satisfaction, and the others naturally followed the core of the team.
The Magic players surprisingly didn't say anything about the game.
But in the post-game interview, Coach Van Gundy showed his anger:
"Play don't know what's going on with this game? Did the referee forget to bring a spoon? Or Orlando, my players always do the same thing as the other side, but they get fouled again and again, and the other side got 38 free throws in this game, but we only had 18. What's even more incredible is that two of our key players have been sent off one after the other. ”
"Maybe, the only thing to celebrate is that it's not a playoff, it's not a Finals, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with my players and fans."
Sloan also unceremoniously squirted back:
"The NBA is a competitive sport, a men's sport, confrontation is inevitable, and if some people have an opinion about the referee, they should look at the league's blowing standards for themselves, not after the defeat."
The weak have no right to complain.
…………
The day after this game, the conference room.
NBA Chairman Stern's face was ugly, and a report on yesterday's game was distributed to everyone in the league's upper echelons, and Stern sat quietly, putting a lot of pressure on the others.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Stern spoke:
"What do you think after reading it?"
The others began to speak one after another:
"There is no need to express any opinions, normal game conflicts, if there is too much interference, will make the league suffer more doubts and denials."
"The league should maintain a relatively objective and neutral standard, and there is a certain home whistle that can support fans to watch the game, which is good for the league's bottom line."
