"The Spurs are in big trouble. Without Bruce, their defense was cut to pieces by the Pacers.

Wei passed the ball in again, and Stephen Jackson was ready to break through!"

This time, seeing Jackson break through, Duncan had to shrink back.

The Spurs' inside line has been broken into pieces!

"Here, here, Stephen!" Seeing this, Wayne shouted from outside the three-point line.

On the basketball court, communication is very important. Not everyone is like Nash, Kidd and others who can see their teammates behind them.

After hearing Wayne shouting, Wu Sheng passed the ball.

Duncan braked suddenly and sped away to the outside.

"It's so disgusting. How can he be the same as the German in Dallas!" Duncan shouted in his heart as he ran wildly.

Well, there aren't many No. 4s who don't find it disgusting to play against Wayne.

Before Duncan sealed it, Wayne hit a three-point jumper, and the Spurs' shrinking defense ended in failure!

"The ball was scored again, and the Pacers led the Spurs by 9 points! Even Tim Duncan was exhausted under such a defense."

Cole has rarely seen Duncan so embarrassed on the defensive end. In the first quarter, Duncan beat Wayne and O'Brien violently.

In the second quarter, Wayne came back again.

Popovich's face turned red. His blood pressure soared due to extreme anger, so the blood vessels in his head filled up.

The live footage gave Popovich a close-up, and he probably didn't even expect that he would encounter so much trouble in Indianapolis.

At this time, there were only two minutes left before the end of the second quarter. Popovich called a timeout. He could not let the Pacers widen the point difference to double digits before the end of the half.

Although this game is just a test of the Pacers' depth, there is no reason to surrender in half the game.

And... Bowen's famous scene just now really aroused Popovich's desire to win.

He now really wants to win the game in the Big Cornfield, and then stand on the moral high ground and condemn Wayne in the press conference!

At this moment, the scene suddenly became agitated and burst into laughter.

Popovich looked up curiously and saw that there was no mascot performance here. What were they laughing at?

Then, Bruce Bowen ran to Popovich's side.

"Bruce?" Popovich was a little surprised. He thought Bowen would not play again in this game.

After all... not everyone has the courage to face the humiliation of being thrown into grandma's house.

"I'm back, Pop." Bowen looked serious and clenched his fists.

"Bruce Bowen is actually back. He still wants to continue playing, but..." Cole can't bear to look at Bowen now. The scene just now can be said to have basically destroyed Bowen's dignity.

.

On the other side, on the Pacers' bench, everyone also spotted Bowen reappearing.

"This...can I not play against him?" Artest looked at Carlisle pitifully. This is not a question of whether Bowen's defense is dirty or not. The main thing is that Artest really thinks Bowen is dirty!

He still can't forget the stench that filled the air around Bowen just now, and he has to confront that person personally... Eh!

too disgusting!

Everyone was making fun of Bowen, but not Wayne.

Because he knows that Bowen has only one reason to return to the court - to help the Spurs win... Bah!

Whether the Spurs can win may be secondary to Bowen. His real purpose must be revenge!

Otherwise, he would not have returned to the court despite so many people's ridicule and such great humiliation.

That guy was pushed into a hurry, what couldn't he do?

"Be careful, Ron, I suggest you stop shooting during this period." Wayne was really worried about Artest. If Artest was injured, would he still be able to play in the playoffs?

Without Artest, who would go up and get beaten and hurt?

"Of course you have to be careful, I don't even want to be next to him!" Artest was still feeling nauseous and didn't even realize how dangerous Bowen was now.

At this time, Wayne may be the only player in the world who hopes to be someone else's stepping stone.

He would rather Bowen come to play against him than he wants that guy to play against Artest.

After all, Wayne has a body of steel! Even if he did sprain his ankle due to the padding, it would be a mild sprain at most and he would be fine after just four or five days of rest.

But if Artest was the one who got caught, that's not necessarily the case.

Bowen's target is definitely Wayne, but he is facing off against Artest. If he can't keep it together, what if Bowen wants to kill Artest?

Therefore, it is completely unclear who he will attack.

Carlisle was also a little panicked. Who in the league didn't know about Bowen's behavior?

Although he really wants to win, he doesn't want to lose some of his best players.

So, in the last two minutes of the second quarter... Carlisle decided to remove Artest and Wayne first.

"You guys take a break. You played well. Let's continue in the second half."

"Ah!?" Artest was stunned. Even a fool like Artest knew that now was a good opportunity to pursue the victory and open up the score.

"Let's take a rest. The game is still very long." Carlisle didn't explain much and just pushed Wayne and Artest to the bench.

The game restarted, and Bowen really got into action.

All the Pacers fans in the audience were using words like "daddy" to humiliate him, but Bowen remained unmoved.

Anyway, your face has already been thrown to the ground and crushed. Do you still care about being stepped on a few more times?

At least for now, the vengeful Bowen doesn't care.

But Bowen didn't see Wayne after he came out, and his mood suddenly became extremely low.

It seems that the revenge plan has to be postponed.

In the end, the Spurs closed the gap to 5 points before halftime.

Generally speaking, the Pacers had the advantage in the first half of the game.

"Bruce's return makes the Spurs' perimeter defense no longer so fragile. I admire Bruce's courage to stand up again after experiencing such a... vicious incident."

Although Cole said this, he knew very well that the guy had no good intentions.

Some people may do something after being greatly humiliated.

At this time, David Stern, who was resting at home, also received a call from NBA staff.

So, after the last plate with snacks was shattered on the floor, Stern spit out the coffee he just drank.

"Pfft~~~ When you mean beating shit, is it an adjective or a verb?"

"Verb! What's even more surprising is that Bowen just played again!"

"What!?" Stern was even more shocked now, his face turned pale with fright.

"Hurry up and call the referees on duty for that game and ask them to pay special attention to Bowen. If he makes any small move, he will be ejected and ejected!"

"Ah? David, maybe you haven't understood yet. It wasn't Bruce who did anything to Wayne, it was Wayne who beat the crap out of Bruce."

"I know! So, we must protect Wayne!"

staff member:???

Can we not protect it?

Is Bowen’s moral character unclear to Stern?

If Bowen retaliates against Wayne, the NBA will lose a big cash cow!

Can Bowen's commercial value compare with Wayne?

He didn't care how much trauma Bowen suffered from being beaten, Wayne couldn't be hurt anyway!

The plan to save Big Wayne is officially launched!

After the second half of the game started, sure enough, all the referees' eyes fell on Bowen.

Tragedies like Vince Carter cannot happen again.

Popovich's face turned serious at this time, and he didn't seem as angry as he was just now.

On the contrary, he is actually looking forward to the second half of the game.

Do you think he doesn't know what Bowen wants to do? No, he knows better than anyone else.

The moment Bowen returned, Popovich knew what he wanted to do.

But...Popovich didn't intend to dissuade either.

After all, this is not the first time they have done something similar.

As soon as the third quarter started, Duncan used his 45° wiper to shoot O'Brien.

In this quarter, Duncan no longer positioned himself so close to the three-second zone, but chose to score from the mid-range.
