Chapter 147 The whole audience booed
"From the replay, it can be clearly seen that Boozer's additional action was completely unnecessary. What we are more worried about now is Li Chengming's physical condition..."
Li Chengming lay on the ground for a long time and did not get up. Not only the teammates gathered in a circle, but also the fans in front of the TV were very worried.
As fans of Houston, who had directly competed in the playoffs, the domestic audience was naturally familiar with these Jazz players, and it was actually to be expected that Boozer would be dirty.
This guy made his debut with the Cavaliers, and because of contract issues, he was nicknamed a "rebellious guy." He definitely has the ability, but his character cannot be complimented.
And even though he is on a team like the Jazz, which is known for its iron-blooded defense, he is actually a strong offensive and defensive player.
In fact, in terms of defensive awareness, he is not bad, and he can often contribute steals based on his own judgment. However, due to his limited physical talent, insufficient wingspan, slow movement, and average jumping, he can only use it when attacking the inside line. Some small moves to maintain your defense.
He also learned from a certain senior power forward of the Jazz, who regarded dirtiness as iron-bloodedness and toughness, so it is not surprising that he made such a big move where he was obviously running towards people instead of the ball.
At this time, in the live broadcast, Li Chengming seemed to have recovered a little. He was pulled up by his teammates, but he still had to rely on the support of his teammates to slowly walk to the bench, and then the team doctor made a simple confirmation. It seemed that the impact was still there. Here I am.
The referee has stopped the game, and the scene just now began to be replayed on the big screen and on live TV. The NBA's professionalism in broadcasting is also reflected in their multi-camera replays from different angles.
Because human vision is deceptive, it is difficult to make a true judgment from a single angle. Maybe from this angle it looks like they are touching, but from another angle you can see that you are not standing at all, or from this angle it looks like you are touching first. If you hit a player, you can see from another angle that you hit the ball first. According to the player-to-player rule, this kind of combined action is not a foul.
However, Boozer's action against Li Chengming, even without watching the replay, he knew it was definitely a foul. Watching the replay was more to judge whether it was necessary to escalate the malicious intent.
"Li Chengming's weight has now dropped below 140 kilograms, but he is still one of the heaviest players in the NBA. Although this makes his foot plate very stable and solid, he usually plays close to the ground without worrying about injuries. It's dangerous, but no one can predict this situation.
"It was very painful to see Li Chengming's expression when he fell to the ground. The force of this impact can also be imagined. I hope his spine was not compressed..."
"The referee is still watching the replay. Judging from the replay, Boozer did not touch the ball at all and was running towards someone. This is a flagrant foul. The referee will also decide whether this foul is a foul or not. Level 1 malice or level 2 malice.”
The penalty results of these two are different, and their impact on the game situation will also be different.
In the end, after discussion, the referee determined the serious nature of Boozer's foul, especially since it was obvious in the picture that Boozer, with a fierce look on his face, was holding Li Chengming's neck with his arm across his arm at that moment. Knocking him down directly is an extreme violation of basic sportsmanship.
Therefore, this is a secondary flagrant foul.
"Boozer was ejected directly!"
After the referee made the penalty, the first thing that greeted him was the boos from the home fans, who were somewhat dissatisfied with the penalty.
Boozer himself knew it well, and after receiving the result, he decisively returned to the locker room from the tunnel.
"Shh-"
"REF SUCKS!"
"REF SUCKS!"
"The audience seemed to have objections to the penalty, but the referee made a decision. The Magic got two free throws and a chance to directly tie or even overtake the score. Hey, Li Chengming also stood up. He looked like
I need to go back to the locker room for further inspection..."
Utah is a very special place in the United States. In addition to its various unique landforms, it mainly lies in its religious culture.
70% of the population believes in Mormonism, which is a unique religious belief in more than 50 states in the United States.
Another surprising thing is that this country has affirmed the legality of polygamy at the legislative level, which is unique in the United States, which is known as the beacon of modern civilization and equal rights.
Although the United States is definitely not as good as it is said to be, most places still add a layer of cover-up, not as naked as here.
And in such a place with a "unique" culture, many people's thoughts are difficult to understand. Coupled with the filter of the home fans, it is not surprising that they will unconditionally side with the home team.
Some fans even thought that Li Chengming was faking an injury, or that Boozer's action was not that exaggerated at all, and that Li Chengming, a Chinese, was too "sick".
This is not only the stance of the fans, but also discriminatory.
It has been a long time since Li Chengming saw an insulting sign in an away game, but he saw it here too.
Therefore, from the beginning, Li Chengming did not have any good impressions of the home fans. At this time, facing the boos from the entire stadium, Li Chengming, who was helped into the locker room to be examined by the team doctor, also looked calm.
Unexpectedly, when passing through the players' tunnel, something suddenly fell down. When he saw the water bottle rolling down at his feet, Li Chengming was stunned for a moment and looked up. At this time, there were already guards ready to control the man.
Li Chengming looked at the panicked expression of the naughty kid who didn't know whose family he was after being controlled. He felt a little funny for a moment, and the anger that had just emerged suddenly disappeared.
He also realized that the home fans, whether intentional or not, were trying to provoke and anger him. If he had done anything at that time, he would probably have to face punishment after the game.
Of course, Li Chengming was still unhappy, but after being held down by the assistant coach, he calmed down and thought about it. Faced with this situation, the best response was definitely not to compete with the fans, but to defeat them on the court. In this way, even the fans would only
Incompetent and furious.
Just wait!
…
Lewis went to the free throw line to execute these two free throws. The boos on the scene became louder at this moment. In addition to being dissatisfied, they also wanted to create pressure on him in this way.
Especially the special stand design of the home arena seems to have enhanced the power of this kind of booing, and behind the basket there are constantly disturbing fans making various vicious and threatening gestures.
However, Lewis was not a rookie and had made it to the All-Star Game once. Faced with this challenge on the road, he was even more motivated. He made two free throws steadily, and then the Magic served from the backcourt.
At this time, the game time is still in the last half quarter, and the Magic team is not in a hurry.
Of course, after Li became famous, everyone as teammates was also a little angry, especially Howard. This time after receiving the ball, he turned around without thinking and faced Okur with a dunk. Okur didn't dare to do anything extra. However, Millsap next to him came over and was called for a defensive foul.
2+0 tie!
"97:97, after scoring 4 points in a row, the Magic tied the score!"
"Li Chengming temporarily returned to the locker room to check. There is not much game time left, and I don't know if he will have a chance to play again in the remaining time."
Suqun is more worried about Li Chengming's injury. After all, he must have gone through a simple check before returning to the locker room. If there are any follow-up problems, it won't be a problem of not being able to play in the next game. I'm afraid it won't be a problem in subsequent games. To be absent.
Of course, judging from the situation when Li Chengming left, the injury is not expected to be too serious and he will be out for two to three weeks.
But when he was in peak condition, he suddenly suffered an injury, which reminds people of the one in Houston.
Many Magic fans were not in the mood to play at this time, and were even more anxious about Li Chengming's situation. They even kept refreshing the news, wanting to know the results as soon as possible.
On the domestic Internet, many fans directly criticized him.
Fortunately, the Jazz may have fans, but they are in the minority. After they eliminated Houston in the playoffs last season, they became the opposing side of many domestic fans. No one would be stupid enough to show up at this time.
What's more, there is no right or wrong in this matter. There are still a small number of fans who are stupid when watching football and have abandoned their own sense of right and wrong - sailing boats and professional trolls are not counted.
"There really is something wrong with this Jazz team. Isn't it at odds with our country's players?"
"Thanks to the fat brother's body and strong cushioning, I guess the problem is not that big."
"They all limped out, so the problem isn't that big?"
"Didn't you see that he was touching his head, not his legs? I think he has a concussion."
"I also feel like I have a concussion..."
"Fuck, don't ever play against the Jazz again."
"It seems like this season is over, right?"
Because they belong to the East and West respectively, the two teams only have two opportunities to meet each other during the regular season. This is already the second time.
In other words, the two teams will not meet again in the future, and the probability of meeting in the playoffs is also very low. At least within the scope of this season, the Magic should not need to come to Utah again.
At this time of the game on the court, perhaps because of Li Chengming's incident, the referees did not dare to be wanton anymore. Speaking of Boozer's foul action, it actually seemed a bit conniving on their part, which made the Jazz's actions become more and more violent. The bigger it is, the more likely this result will occur.
After the referee called several consecutive fouls to control the situation, the Jazz quickly fell into a disadvantage. They only took the lead once more and were overtaken by the Magic, and then they were never able to overtake.
This is also because of the lack of Boozer. Not only is a stable scoring point missing, but Deron and Okur are also affected. The most effective pick-and-roll tactics are not easy to play. Okur has scored 25 points before. Both shots were missed due to timely interference, and Deron could only rely on his personal ability to break through.
If Millsap hadn't made up for Boozer's lack to a certain extent and allowed the Jazz's offensive system to still operate, they would have been overwhelmed by the Magic.
Led by Howard, the five players on the Magic team were playing with the anger of avenging their teammates. Howard frequently asked for the ball in singles, and even tried to force himself when faced with a double-team by two people. Van Gundy called a timeout to calm them down a little.
Next.
At this time, a figure slowly walked out of the player tunnel, and Li Chengming was back.
"Li Chengming appeared on the bench and looks like he is about to be replaced. In this case, there should be no big problem."
The Magic have taken the lead, but the lead is not very big. There are still two minutes left, and the outcome is still uncertain.
At this time, after Van Gundy confirmed that Li Chengming could play, he naturally still had to get him on the court. He is now also a must-have choice for the Magic's decisive lineup.
After coming on the field, it was another offensive round for the Magic, and they attacked in position. This time, Li Chengming received Turkoglu's pass in the corner after a pick-and-roll. The defender did not have time to get in place, and even gave him time to adjust. He was deeply aware of the situation.
After taking a breath and taking action, the defense was late, and the ball had already drawn a beautiful arc in the air, and then hit the net.
"Li Chengming hit a jumper! It was a long two-pointer, and the Magic pulled the score to 7 points. At the critical moment, the coach's trust in him was rewarded, and he will be effective when he comes on the court."
Ma Jian said: "It seems that Li Chengming's health should not have any major problems, and he was not affected by the foul just now. He shot very resolutely."
Suqun said: "Players sometimes become less sensitive to their bodies during games, including some injuries, so they must undergo further examinations after the game. However, the help Li Chengming brought to the team after he came up is still obvious.
of……"
The main reason is that the opposite Jazz team lacks an important scoring point. Although Okur has a good touch in this game, he plays more of a role of widening the space to catch and shoot.
The Jazz's offense failed again. Returning to the defensive end, he became the target again. Li Chengming wanted to commit another foul. Okur knew that he might be sent off at any time with five fouls, so he tried his best to avoid it.
But he still didn't escape, the whistle sounded.
"Li Chengming caused another foul. Although the ball failed to hit the ball, if he could make two free throws this time, the Magic could open the score to 9 points. In the last minute or so, at this point in time, almost
