Healing Basketball

   Chapter 696 696.70 wins!

  The crisp sound of iron striking woke everyone up.

  The scene suddenly became chaotic.

  The Suns players want to ask for an explanation for Raja Bell.

   Trail Blazers players also want to seek justice.

  There are also players rushing on the sidelines... sidelines?

  Looking at Kwame Brown who rushed forward and pushed Marion away, Liu Xiu, who thought the matter was almost done, was in a bad mood.

   It seemed that there was a group conflict, but in fact, people on both sides were very restrained, and Liu Xiu calmed down immediately after completing the counterattack.

For the sake of the overall face, the Suns had to ask for an explanation; for the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu had already completed the counterattack, and Raja Bell was surrounded by the team doctors...Kwame Brown rushed up and pushed Marion. All of a sudden, the pushing and shoving of the players on the field became even bigger, and other players on the sidelines also rushed forward...

   Fortunately, the league has an emergency plan in case of emergency. The referee and security personnel quickly intervened to stop the conflict between the two teams from expanding, and let the players calm down with a whistle.

  The players of the two teams were pulled back to their own benches. The referee came to the technical platform to watch the replay of Raja Bell trying to attack Liu Xiu just now twice, and the big screen also replayed it twice.

  Referees, players, coaches, fans... all stared at the replay.

   Raja-Bell's actions are tantamount to murder!

   But the result was even more jaw-dropping, Liu Xiu was able to react like that.

  Raja Bell was knocked into the air by Liu Xiu and fell to the floor screaming. The scene looked miserable, but not to mention, even some Suns players felt very happy...

  However, professional referees will not know how to judge in this situation.

  Anyway, after watching the replay for the second time, I saw Liu Xiu's cat waist avoiding the 'defense', then taking off, and shooting after the 'confrontation'... The referee first confirmed that this was not a shooting foul.

  Raja Bell's foul should be a technical foul with stop watch and dead ball before Liu Xiu shoots.

   Regarding Liu Xiu's behavior... the referee struggled for a long time, and after discussing with the technical station officials for a while, it was determined that Liu Xiu had nothing to punish.

  Even if the league wants to punish after the game, it is the league's business. The referees and technical officials think it's okay.

  If Liu Xiu is also sent out, the fanatical fans at the scene will definitely riot.

  The referee used two technical offenders to expel Raja Bell from the field... Before he had time to expel, the team doctors of the two teams had already lifted Raja Bell out, as if two ribs were broken...

  After this is confirmed, it will be easy to handle. After discussing with the technical table officials, the referee gave technical fouls to several players of the two teams.

For the Suns, Marion has 1 technical foul, Barbosa has 1 technical foul, Diaw has 1 technical foul, Kurt Thomas and James Jones who rushed to the court each have 1 technical foul, plus Raja Bell's Technical criminals, a total of 7 technical criminals.

  For the Trail Blazers, Kwame Brown, Outlaws, McDyess, and Flying Squirrel each had 1 technical offender.

Trail Blazers bench, Liu Xiu scolded Kwame Brown when he came back—"Do they dare to do it? What if you rushed up and were expelled from the field? How did you grow your brain? Playing against teams in the Pacific Division was infected and your brain went into the sea." sick..."

   Also being scolded by the boss, Kwame Brown is in a much better mood than when he was in the Wizards, and he is a little moved... The boss thinks I am important! Instead of despising me!

   But what Liu Xiu scolded was also what the coaches and teammates were worried about. Kwame Brown is their most important center.

   Has rebounding and defense, excellent free throws and can eat cakes, the key is a certain amount of close-range shots, and occasionally an assist.

  Finally, seeing that Kwame Brown, who almost expanded the conflict, got only one technical offender, Liu Xiu let out a long breath... Eh?

and many more!

  Liu Xiu suddenly remembered that in the defensive stage of the second quarter, the champion of parallel imports had already received a technical foul because of the celebration after blocking the block!

  …

   Kwame Brown was expelled for the second technical offense, and the Trail Blazers coach and players cursed in unison.

   But there was nothing wrong with the whistle blowing, it almost turned the conflict into a gang fight, and one technical offender was considered light.

   On the other side, the Suns players who were already depressed were shocked!

   Does that mean they traded Kwame Brown with the Raja-Belder pair?

   Blood earns this!

  Although Raja Bell is a defensive master at the first defense level, their Suns do not focus on defense.

  Although Kwame Brown has nothing to do with the first defense, there is Ben Wallace there, and the competition for the second defense is also fierce, but the Trail Blazers are an offensive and defensive team, and the center is an indispensable part.

  Kwame Brown is more important to the Trail Blazers than Raja Bell is to the Suns!

  Theoretically speaking, this is the case, and the coaches and players of the two teams also think so, but when Liu Xiu made 3 free throws to open the score to 100 to 96 and the game restarted, the situation was quite different from what was expected.

  Because Maurice Cheeks just made an adjustment—play offense!

  If you want to play an offensive and defensive performance, it is difficult to do without Kwame Brown. Mourning and McDyess can hold the center position for a while, but they are not as good as Kwame Brown in terms of continuity and intensity.

That being the case, let's not play defense anymore. He sent a combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Randolph, and McDyess, and the Suns' Nash, Barbosa, Diao, Marion, and Teddy. Tom Thomas' combination attack!

   On the defensive end, Kwame Brown is indeed more important to the Trail Blazers than Raja Bell is to the Suns' defense.

   But on the offensive end, it's the Suns' turn to suffer even more.

Raja Bell is the team's three-point leader in the Suns. His 44.2% three-point shooting rate ranks second in the Suns, second only to Barbosa's 44.4% shooting rate. He ranks first with 2.5 three-pointers per game. 25% more than Nash's average of 2 three-pointers per game!

   Raja Bell scored 5 three-pointers tonight and scored 21 points, second only to Marion's 24 points in the Suns.

  In the remaining time, the Suns scored 20 points, while the Trail Blazers scored 26 points!

  During this period, Nash scored 4 points and 3 assists, and his data increased to 22 points, 3 rebounds and 16 assists, but the number of assists was surpassed by Liu Xiu at the last moment! During this period, Liu Xiu used the Suns' pincers to get 5 assists!

  Liu Xiu played 44 minutes, made 11 of 21 shots, scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 17 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!

  Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen scored 23 points, Randolph scored 17 points and 9 rebounds, Kwame Brown scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Payton scored 10 points and 4 assists...

  In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns 126 to 116, setting the Suns' record at 54 wins and 28 losses, missing the ranks of 55 wins!

With more than 1 minute left in the game and the score difference reached 10 points, the fans on the scene were already cheering and celebrating crazily. into the pitch.

  The coaches of the two teams hurriedly called the players to leave, and the referee was also directing the security guards to protect the players to leave the stadium...

  70 wins and 12 losses, the Trail Blazers occupy the second place in NBA history!
