This technical pause is slightly longer.

Because the referees repeatedly watched the video, they were still unable to determine whether Lin Ying bent the knee intentionally.

You have to know that many players will unconsciously make a "swinging" motion when dunking because the impact is too great.

This falls within the scope of what may or may not be judged.

In the end, the referee still gave an offensive foul, but there was no malice.

For no other reason than to control the situation.

Halprin has already gone back to the locker room with the team doctor. In other words, you have fucked someone out again. You can't just do nothing to encourage you to continue, right?

Otherwise Stern will have to cause trouble for them.

Harpring's departure is not a big loss to the Jazz's paper strength. After all, there is CJ Miles on the bench.

But Halprin is the captain of the Jazz, and his departure has a great impact on the Jazz's spiritual level.

Little people make a big difference.

Historically, the Heat have renewed contracts year after year and Haslem, who is no longer able to play, is it because he has too much money and no place to spend it, or is it just a favor?

Obviously not.

The main reason is the moral support Haslem can give the team in the locker room and on the sidelines.

However, the Jazz is indeed a well-disciplined team. Although it was a big mental blow, they still clung to the score.

After a fierce battle in the final four quarters, the Nuggets successfully avenged the Jazz 113-105.

In terms of technical statistics, six Jazz players still scored in double figures. Boozer had a team-high 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Deron had 17 points and 12 assists.

The Nuggets also had 6 players score in double figures, including 3 with 20+ points, Iverson with 23 points and 11 assists, Anthony with 21 points and 9 rebounds, and Lin Ying with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

In the locker room after the game, the Nuggets' locker room was a little serious.

Although they won, everyone's expressions were not very relaxed.

"If we meet them in the playoffs, what are the chances of winning?"

Anderson was chatting with Lin Ying. He touched his waist while asking, not knowing what his habit was.

The Nuggets are currently ranked seventh. If the playoffs start now, they will play the second-place Spurs.

But there are still nearly two months before the end of the season, and the teams in the Western Conference are now close in strength, with neither the first nor the eighth winning more than ten games.

Judging from their state tonight, their record will definitely improve in the future, and an encounter with the Jazz is not impossible.

Lin Ying made a "5" gesture.

Fifty-five open.

The Nuggets' advantage is their strong impact, while the Jazz's discipline is high.

Stylistically, the Nuggets rely on defensive counterattacks, which the Jazz restrained.

But the Nuggets are not playing haphazardly now, and their positional warfare has improved significantly compared to the beginning of the season.

And when Nene returns in March, there will actually be no fewer players than the Jazz.

"It should be easier than playing against the Spurs."

Lin Ying said.

"Why?"

Anderson asked curiously.

Lin Ying said nothing, stretched out his hands, and made a "1" and a "2" gesture at the same time.

Anderson scratched his head, why do you like gestures so much?

"The Spurs have two, one Bowen and one Horry, and the Jazz only have one Harpring."

Iverson was listening and now spoke.

Anderson also reacted immediately.

"Why do you keep touching your waist?"

Iverson couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know what happened to that guy Jason Collins. He kept hugging my waist when I was defending. I still feel uncomfortable."

Anderson vomited bitterly.

It turns out that it's not that he has any special hobbies, but because of things in the game.

Iverson had a question mark face.

This is the first time he has heard someone say that in all his playing days.

Anderson was also helpless. No one would believe what he said.

Lin Ying suddenly remembered something.

Jason Collins is the first NBA player to publicly announce that he is gay!

It's no surprise that Anderson would have this reaction.

And it reminded him of something else.

I chatted with Tatum when I went to the New York headquarters before, and he came up with a bold idea.

It's just that it's easier to come up with the idea than to do it.

However, the appearance of Collins made him see a suitable candidate.

…

Defeating the Jazz is just the beginning for the Nuggets.

What fans can clearly feel is that the Nuggets are in a completely different state after the All-Star Game than they were before!

Although the problem of Nene's absence still exists, Lin Ying's recovery and Anthony's singles reduction again are enough.

Of course, Anderson was also surprised.

Although he has not played in the NBA for two full years, he looks no different from two years ago. He is still full of passion and is still the "Birdman" who flies into the sky and escapes from the earth.

No, there is a difference, he has become more mature.

He took illegal drugs before because he did not receive a good education and his childhood experience in an orphanage made him excessively release himself.

He learns from every experience, and the two years of suspension have made him grow up.

The Nuggets' record has also steadily improved.

You can clearly feel that this team has begun the legendary "playoff mode"!

The Nuggets' record is improving, and the previous news of various internal discords has come to an end.

The media cannot live without news, so they focus on some weird news.

for example:

Anthony accidentally cut his finger while cutting a cigar, and paid tribute to Michael Jordan outside the court. The latter once cut his finger and caused permanent damage, causing the index finger to be unable to bend, but still led the team to complete the second dynasty;

The Nuggets' mascot, Rocky Lion, was knocked down by Lin Ying's instinctive punch when he was trying to "scare" players in the tunnel, so the Nuggets issued a rule that did not allow players to use violence against the mascot;

A local sports newspaper in Denver launched a survey titled "Whether Lin Ying wearing a headband will make the Nuggets more attractive?" Prior to this, many Nuggets players had worn headbands, including: Anthony

, Iverson, Martin, Anderson.

…

There is only one month left before the start of the playoffs.

Nene is back, and his condition looks pretty good.

However, he did not return to the lineup.

This also made the Nuggets suddenly become a little crowded inside. Petro and Najera were both dropped out of the rotation, and Anderson and Nene shared the bench time.

Such a change is also a good thing for the Nuggets, because it directly increases the team's inside strength and also increases inside depth.

You must know that in this era of fierce competition, injuries are common, and team depth is also very important.

In order to better prepare for the playoffs, Lin Ying also began to use the massage card given to him by Durant more frequently.

Durant's previous suggestion proved to be so correct, there are so many masseurs in this chain brand.

Although there are slight differences in the techniques, the same technique is very good, and he will feel very comfortable after each press.

Although the effect is definitely not as effective as cupping, it is more convenient and can be used at any time.

However, this situation also left him with difficulty in making a choice.

Originally, he wanted to choose someone to be his masseur, but now he felt that no one was suitable.

On this weekend, as usual, he called a masseur to come to his home for a massage.

Just as I was pressing it, the doorbell rang.
