109. Mission: Public Enemy!
It seems that the best player on our side was betrayed by the notorious rookie on the opposite side?
The fans at the scene were angry! The boos in the sky seemed to want to break through the ceiling!
Rasheed Wallace has a bad temper on the court. Similarly, this kind of blood and passion can very well drive the emotions of his teammates and home team fans!
In addition to being expelled at least ten times a season, and usually being expelled when facing a strong opponent, causing a huge setback to the team's record, such a player is what every coach likes and wants.
A catalyst for team excitement, but it hurts when Rasheed Wallace becomes the team's best player.
Two or three years ago, when Rasheed Wallace had not evolved into the best player of the Trail Blazers, of course it was not just him who evolved, but also Scottie Pippen, who was at the tail end of his peak, and Dale Davis, who was supporting the front line.
On the field, when there are rookies on the outside who have not yet declined so seriously from their peak, such as the Lithuanian super center Avidas Sabonis in his later years, Rasheed Wallace's role is to activate the blood of his teammates.
, even the previous head coach Mike Dunleavy specially strengthened this characteristic of him.
But when Sabonis was 38 and couldn't move anymore and retired, Pippen and Dale Davis were completely old, and after the little flying squirrel couldn't fly for a few years, Rasheed Wallace actually became a pioneer step by step.
The core players, the best players, would be very tragic for the Trail Blazers.
Coach Mike Dunleavy dug a hole for himself. Pippen and Dale Davis suddenly declined last season, and Rasheed Wallace suddenly became the team's best player. All of a sudden, the team
It exploded on the spot. Rasheed Wallace received a total of 41 technical fouls last season, the only one in history! Coach Mike Dunleavy also resigned due to this.
Coach Cheeks is going to collapse. He has only played a dozen games this season, and Rasheed Wallace has already been ejected three times!
The boss of this other team may not necessarily be expelled three times a year. This game has just been played for a little more than a month, and Rasheed Wallace has already received 8 technical fouls and been expelled three times!
The Blazers players kept explaining, and coach Cheeks also discussed with the vice referee on the sidelines to see if a technical foul could be cancelled.
Fouls cannot be canceled, but technical fouls are.
When the referee made it clear that it was not possible and signaled Rasheed Wallace to leave the court, the boos on the scene became even louder.
All the fingers were pointed at Liu Mang. In the offensive and defensive rounds just now, Liu Mang was obviously aiming to stimulate Rasheed Wallace. Except for Rasheed Wallace, who was in the middle of the game and had not been calm-minded, there was no one else.
Suddenly, everyone else saw that Liu Mang just wanted to make Rasheed Wallace dissatisfied with the penalty!
But again, whether you are a Trail Blazers fan or a player, you don't find it strange to see this scene. This scene has happened frequently since last year. When the regular horses beat the Trail Blazers last season, Rasheed was beaten in two of the four games.
-Wallace was forced to foul out, and other teams followed suit.
On the contrary, the players on the Eagles team took a breath. Liu Mang fouled early on his first shot. They thought it was normal and was the most effective way for Liu Mang to score inside. But this time the opponent committed a diving foul, which made them
I felt that the boy next to me was not only shameless, but also despicable!
Fortunately, this brat is a teammate! Otherwise, I might have been tricked by this brat when I met him on the playing field!
Liu Mang walked to the free throw line amid boos and looks of disdain and joy.
Just boo! Just despise! One free throw becomes three, and you will make a lot of money!
In addition, the system prompt has come!
"Ding... the host has become a hated opponent by Portland fans. The reward is 2000 for superstars and 2000 for rogues."
"Ding... System mission: Become a public enemy of Portland. Mission rewards are to be determined, long-term mission, no failure penalty."
Mission rewards to be determined?
Wait, it seems to be the same thing as the fans who angered the opponent before!
In other words, depending on the degree to which a team's fans are angered, will the rewards be different? It may even be possible to receive a mission?
Putting this aside for now, Liu Mang concentrated on free throws.
Two technical foul free throws were made, one was missed, and the off-ball foul made an extra free throw. Liu Mang made two of three free throws, which is not bad.
After scoring 4 points in one offensive round, the Eagles opened the point difference to ten points!
The Trail Blazers called a timeout!
Coach Cheeks wanted to cry. He was so successful when he took over this team that looked like a bunch of stars!
But actually coaching this team, which has a lot of big-name players but is basically the same age, is simply torture! If you lose a game, you will be scolded by the fans. This year, we have invested nearly 10 million more than last year, and the results are not as good as last season.
Being sprayed to death by fans.
Without Rasheed Wallace, the core of the frontcourt, the Blazers suffered huge losses on both offense and defense.
Coach Cheeks didn't dare to replace Rainman Kemp, a player with strong singles ability, nor did he dare to replace Dale Davis, a defensive deterrent under the basket.
Coach Cheeks glanced at his bench...
Damn, my boss is really rich and has many people, but many of them are players who were still at the tail end of their prime two or three years ago and are now starting to retire.
Those who can run, those who can jump...
Coach Cheeks took a look and saw a water fountain keeper. It was him!
On the Eagles bench, Coach Kruger doesn't know what to say, just do a great job!
Coach Kruger can't ask for more from Liu Mang, but it's so easy to get beaten after leaving Atlanta! Should you consider applying to the boss for two bodyguards?
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers replaced Rasheed Wallace with Antonio Harvey, a physical and jumping man who usually can't play the ball.
The Trail Blazers attack and Pippen advances with the ball.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading! Pippen is under a lot of pressure, very much. He has been under a lot of pressure since leaving the Bulls. He always wanted to lead the team to win the championship and prove himself, but the closest he got to the championship was by the Lakers.
It was stifled. The 2000 playoffs was his best year leading the team alone, and it was also his last year at his peak.
Watching his young opponents shine one by one, Pippen felt very unhappy. He had been playing in the shadow of Jordan since he entered the NBA and had never had a real chance to be willful.
But the rookie opposite was able to play according to his own ideas in his rookie season, and he even got the coach's permission!
This made Pippen envious and jealous when Jordan retired for the first time and had just entered his peak period but didn't even have the power to shoot the winning shot.
One of the characteristics of veterans is that they are slow to warm up. Pippen scored a total of one goal, sent out three assists and got 2 points and 3 rebounds in nearly two quarters. Now his body is gradually warming up and he feels it!
***The author has something to say***
Sabonis, who entered the NBA at the age of 32, actually entered the NBA like a young player. His data increased year by year. By the time he was 34 years old in the third grade, he averaged 16.10.3 per game! Yao's idol, it is a pity that the lockout destroyed his form.
Well, a veteran is not suitable for a long rest period, nor can he have no rest time. This is the biggest problem for a veteran.
If Sabonis, who was born in 1964 and is about the same age as Jordan and Olajuwon, joined the NBA in the 1980s, would any of the top four NBA centers in the 1990s be replaced?
