Chapter 638: Fighting Salt Lake City Bitterly Five
As soon as Boozer landed, he fell to the floor in embarrassment, and to make matters worse, he hugged his leg in a very painful appearance.
Lying on the ground, the Jazz players gathered around, Yang Di blinked, wouldn't he be so vulnerable?
The audience resounded with the exclamations of the fans, no matter how much Yang Di was booed, this was not the time to target him, seeing that the playoffs were coming, Boozer couldn't have anything to do!
The fans prayed with their hands together and rose from their benches.
βare you OK οΌβ
The team doctor walked over and leaned down to question Boozer.
Beads of sweat dripped from Boozer's head, and his face turned pale.
"Where does it hurt? Knee? Ankle? β
The team doctor's face is very solemn, looking at Boozer's posture, it should be a big injury, oh my God, knees and ankles are the most vulnerable parts of an athlete, enough to ruin a player's career.
The Jazz players around him also looked worried.
"No, I'm just ......" Boozer said in pain: "I'm cramping, my calf is cramping, it's very painful. β
"Cut~"
Delon and the others rolled their eyes, and when they first looked at Boozer's appearance, they thought that his limit was approaching, but who knew that after a change of direction, it was just cramps.
The team doctor lifted Boozer's leg and stretched him, and Boozer limped to the sidelines.
The key goal, the referee also blew Yang Di's good hat, Boozer Bai hit Yang Di like this, and I don't know if he can play in the second half.
The fans don't care so much, they only know that Yang Di injured their leading player, the team's top scorer.
"This executioner!"
"Butcher of the East!"
The unceremonious tone came from all directions, and Yang Di's heart was extremely bearable, and his face was still calm.
At halftime, the Warriors led the Jazz by four points, 54-50.
.......
The battle in Salt Lake City was destined to be a very difficult battle, not only because the Jazz were the hard bone to gnaw in the West, but more importantly, because the Warriors themselves came to the plateau game with some physical discomfort.
The Devil's home game bonus, the Jazz's combat power has risen several notches.
Ray Allen's outside shooting has not been opened, and the Warriors and Jazz are very close, and in the third quarter, it became a very anxious tug-of-war.
Fortunately, Boozer was injured, and Yang Di reduced the task of defending with the ball and focused on helping to defend.
A little later in the third quarter, Delon passed Monta Ellis and broke through to the basket with the ball, and Yang Di came from the side and slapped the ball out of the line.
Yang Di made his fifth block of the game and erected a no-fly zone.
Delon serves and hands it to flank Kirilenko.
The Russian was quick, and after Deron got through, he dominated the tempo and stepped past his defender's Danny Granger with a three-man threat.
Kirilenko lays the ball up and lays with the hand away from the basket before Yang Di's defense arrives.
hit the board into the frame, and even hit it under the confrontation.
"It's all there!"
Yang Di turned around and slapped the ball unhappily.
But unexpectedly, the force was a little too heavy, and the basketball flew out directly on the surface of the foot, whistling like a cannonball, and went straight to the referee who was walking well on the side.
The referee turned his head, his body barely turned sideways, and he was hit by a basketball in the back.
Yang Di's eyes widened, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, the referee stretched out his finger and pointed at Yang Di, whistled, and gestured in his hand, and actually made a technical foul gesture.
Yang Di looked confused, standing in place and staring blankly at the referee who rushed away angrily.
"Don't, calm down." Ray Allen grabbed Yang Di, for fear that Yang Di would do something irrational.
"I'm fine, I'm ......" Yang Di just felt that he was a little wronged, and then he also felt that he was too stupid, what should he do with so many actions.
"This season, the NBA officially issued a zero-tolerance rule, I don't know how many people have been blown technical fouls for some reason, if you dare to question his decision now, he will definitely give you another technical foul without mercy, do you remember Tim Duncan? Sitting on the bench and smiling, he was whistled for a technical foul. β
Of course, Yang Di knows the zero-tolerance rules promulgated before the start of this season, in order to strengthen the authority of the referee and ensure the fluency of the game, the system forcibly promulgated by the official, the picture of seeing the referee roaring twice in the past is no longer seen, Rasheed Wallace even ate too much because of technical fouls, facing a ban and a fine, fortunately he has entered the injury period, and I don't know if the Pistons are an off-the-board move to avoid him from eating technical fouls again.
Yang Di remembers that in the report at the beginning of the season, statistics said that in the first 51 games, there were 104 technical fouls, 7 people were ejected, and only 7 games had no technical fouls.
Later, technical fouls dropped sharply, and now the situation of players yelling at the referee has disappeared, and the referee's power has risen sharply.
Sometimes there will be some misunderstandings, just like today, Yang Di felt that the referee must have misunderstood him.
DeLong executes the free throw.
Boozer's performance in the first half was average, without Boozer, the Jazz team did not collapse directly, and still played well with the Warriors, Kirilenko stood up, shot outside and shot inside, and actually scored 10 points in this quarter to help the Jazz tie the score.
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied 75-75.
In the final quarter, Yang Di went off the break, and Montgomery gave David Lee and Biedrins plenty of playing time.
The two are indeed fierce, and in the opposition with Paul Millsap, there is not much difference in the frontcourt rebounding scramble, and even Biedrins and Louis Williams have partnered to complete an aerial relay dunk.
The Warriors relied on the excellent play of their bench players to take a lead of about five points at the start of the fourth quarter.
Yang Di came on the court, hit Millsap with his back and turned and couldn't make a strong shot, and his shooting percentage began to decline.
Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer at this time, and the Jazz fell behind by a bigger margin of points, and the two teams entered a hand-to-hand battle with bayonets, which was extremely fierce.
In the confrontation, Danny Granger received his fifth foul and the defense shrank.
Montgomery called a timeout and told Danny Granger not to care about fouls and that if he lost his aggressiveness for fear of six fouls leaving, he would switch to another player who was strong on the court.
Danny Granger was solemn and not afraid of confrontation after playing, and fought hand-to-hand with Kirilenko from the outside to the inside.
And sure enough, near halftime, Danny Granger was fouled and graduated, and Montgomery was replaced by Matt Barnes, the Warriors' No. 1 hitter.
Barnes continued to be tough with Kirilenko on the court, and the Jazz's interior line was penetrated by Yang Di at this time.
The fans looked at the players' tunnel, and they didn't wait for the bald man who should have returned according to the script.
