Chapter 389 The Boss’s Wisdom
This, this is the MCI Center...it's the home court of the Wizards, and there are 20,000 Wizards fans on site!
This guy was actually beaten up?
The entire arena was stunned at this time, and even the referee looked towards the SuperSonics bench in shock, unable to believe his eyes.
Then, they saw an incredible scene.
I saw a woman standing there with her waist indifferently, then she raised her middle finger at Atast and said contemptuously: "Come on! Bi Qi!"
This, this, this, this, woman? !
A large number of indignant fans in the arena were stunned. If the tactical board was thrown by McMillan, they were ready to rush down and tear the guy into pieces.
But, women?
"Wow, Mother Lin is so cool!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was so stunned that she forgot to beat up Artest.
Brother Gao Ren’s parents are so awesome! Real name envy!
This was the first time in Artest's life that he was beaten by a woman. After being stunned for two seconds with his mouth wide open, an unknown fire started in his mind, and he turned around and wanted to rush to the sideline.
Several people immediately rushed out from the SuperSonics bench, and Yang Long stood in front of Yang Dong with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at Artest who was about to rush over with a pair of cold eyes.
Yang Long's eyes were more murderous than Sakuragi's. This was a man who had actually seen blood and corpses.
But Artest grew up in a mixed-race place in Queens, New York. In front of such a man who was more animalistic than rational, he was bullied to this extent and even got beaten by a woman, even if he was in front of him. He jumped right in, obviously not to the point where he could be scared off just by looking at him.
Fortunately, Harrington quickly hugged Artest from the side.
If this guy really just fights with Lin Dong on the court, the Wizards will not suffer. At worst, both of them will get a T and be ejected. But if he fights with the coaching staff on the sidelines, and also attacks the owner of the other team's team go……
In the end, he hugged him, but received an elbow from Artest, who was struggling in anger, and almost knocked Harrington unconscious.
The fans in the arena were dumbfounded.
What a coincidence.
If the person who hit Artest had been a man, there would have been a riot in the stands. After all, he had to defend the honor of his home court.
Or if this woman hits Jordan or someone else, there will be riots in the stands and she dares to hit everyone's idol, then who cares whether you are a man or a woman!
But unfortunately, this woman hit Ron Artest...
American people also like to read gossip, and their memories are not bad.
Artest had just been involved in a bad incident that was famous among fans across the United States in May last year. Just because his ex-girlfriend Jennifer didn't call him back in time, he was beaten so hard by this guy that he was sent directly to the hospital. I lay down for more than two months.
As soon as this news came out, the national media unanimously criticized it, and many fans lost their fans because of it. Various feminists even made the most severe rebuke and criticism of Artest on various platforms and media in history. The Pacers are willing to send him to the Wizards this year. In fact, a large part of the reason is because the bad incident that happened last year has seriously affected the team's reputation.
Therefore, when the two keywords Artest and women are linked together, even the most die-hard fans dare not touch it. They will be sprayed to death by feminists because this guy has a criminal record!
After all, everyone supports the Wizards just because they like Jordan and Artest? This kind of irritating thing might as well just let everyone watch it...
So, no matter how hot it was on the court, and it seemed like a bloody storm was about to come, there was just a buzz around the stands, and even some laughter, and no one rushed to the SuperSonics bench. Yang Dong on the other side of the table made harsh remarks, but everyone talked about the woman's fierceness just now, and even took out a camera to take pictures.
This undoubtedly made Artest even more furious.
Jordan didn't treat him as a human being before, and now these home fans don't treat him as a human being either?
At this time, the fans who were far away in Seattle watching the game through live broadcast directly caused the whole city to become climax and boiling.
--oh! I like this boss so much! She is the Queen of Sonics!
——Her Majesty the Queen, please accept my knee, you will be the spiritual totem of Supersonics from now on!
——When did that old guy Schultz help our lovely players? Compared with Her Majesty the Queen, Schultz is nothing!
——Supersonic Queen! Supersonic Queen! Supersonic Queen!
beep! beep! beep!
Fortunately, the referee blew the long whistle in time, and two more teammates from the Wizards quickly came up to hold Artest. Jordan also went up and hooked Artest's shoulders in a big brother manner and kept talking. This finally brought the situation on the field under temporary control.
McMillan, who was standing behind Yang Dong, looked at the messy scene and felt dumbfounded.
Although he knows that his boss is passionate about his son, it is probably the first time in the entire NBA that a team boss has directly attacked an opponent's player.
Now that he had finally managed to control the situation, he was afraid that Yang Dong would make any more provocative moves, so he hurried forward to try to persuade him, but Yang Dong rushed to him and said first: "I'll control their emotions when I go out later, Sakuragi." That kid is too impulsive."
McMillan was stunned.
Rush, impulsive? Aren't you more impulsive? How dare you say that someone is impulsive...
But then he came back to his senses and immediately realized how dangerous the scene of Sakuragi Hanamichi and the players on the court rushing toward Artest was.
It is a fact that Ron Artest stirs up trouble. Such large-scale actions will definitely be called level 2 malice and then ejected. This is an iron rule of the league, and the home whistle is not easy to use, not to mention that both sides are already angry. Well, if the referee didn't blow the whistle, it would be even harder to control the rest of the game, and something bigger would definitely happen.
This would have been extremely beneficial to the Sonics.
But if Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others had attacked Artest at that time, Artest would not have been the only one who was ejected. And if Sakuragi Hanamichi was ejected, the Sonics would no longer have anyone. If it can bring any trouble to Yao Ming, the result of completely losing the basket and inside is almost certain to lose.
Thinking of this, McMillan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. In the flash of lightning just now, as a head coach, he had not even thought of going to this level, but this female boss...
He couldn't help but look at Yang Dong again. What he saw this time was no longer just the arrogance on the surface of her face, but the delicate, calm and wise mind hidden under her arrogance, as well as what most men saw. I'm afraid it's a super courage that is unmatched by anyone.
"You have to win, buddy." Yang Dong just said to him calmly: "I can't pay the fine in vain."
You also know the fines, so you know the rules!
McMillan was completely speechless: This boss is really, really... super cool!
Soon, the referee's decision came out.
There was no doubt about the penalties on both sides.
Ron Artest was whistled for a Level 1 foul play, ejected, and given two free throws.
Although being expelled from the game barely achieved the effect of being whistled at level 2, the whistle was level 1 after all, so at least Artest would not be suspended in the next game.
The big move was in violation of the rules, and he also went crazy and provoked the 'victim' afterwards. This was a SuperSonics home game. Level 2 malice would definitely not escape. Not only would he be expelled, but he would also have to be suspended for one more game. But after all, this is a prodigy. At home, being kicked out is enough to give face, but it is unrealistic to want others to ban their players.
The SuperSonics were called for a technical foul and received a T. Team owner Yang Dong was expelled from the game and awaited subsequent penalties from the league.
It was originally a conflict between players, but it was transformed into a conflict between players and the sidelines.
Fortunately, thanks to the referee's quick penalty, the security immediately came in and escorted both of them out, and the noisy scene that had been suspended for more than ten minutes finally gradually returned to calm.
The fans on the court were still talking about the bravery of the woman just now, and it was only at this time that some smarter fans and the Wizards suddenly realized that the Wizards seemed to be suffering a big loss this time.
It seems that they are also ejected, and the boss on the opposite side is still there, but... this has nothing to do with the team. The five main players are still on the court. What's the point of having a boss? The boss doesn't play, so he doesn't even need to make any tactical calls.
But the Wizards directly lost a defensive hero!
The Wizards make substitutions, No. 21 Artest comes off, and No. 20 Larry Hughes comes on.
So many questions...
Compared to Artest, Larry Hughes is considered an offensive guard and can also play as a small forward. He has a certain ability to attack the frame and can shoot 3-pointers, but his defensive ability is far inferior.
At the same time, there is another troublesome problem: without Artest's pick-and-roll, Yao Ming faces the death entanglement of Sakuragi Hanamichi, how to get rid of it.
Doug Collins took advantage of the fact that the game hadn't started yet and promptly adjusted the pick-and-roll tactics for Yao Ming. However, he saw that Jordan was a little distracted and felt a little difficult to cooperate, so he asked.
As a result, Jordan stood up and completely ignored his tactics. He just looked in the direction of the SuperSonics and said coldly: "Just give me the damn ball!"
"This is only the second quarter..."
"I said, give me the ball!" Jordan interrupted the head coach unceremoniously, and then walked directly onto the court.
Tactics?
The best tactic in the world is to give the ball to the God of Basketball!
So what about the second quarter? The kid opposite is not afraid of confronting Biao. He has accumulated enough energy for a season, so is he afraid?
Then let’s face it.
This is not an exhibition game, but the finals. I am not the old guy who just seriously injured his knee during the exhibition game, but a god who has been training for a whole season to prepare for the return of the king.
One against five? No one in this world knows it better than me!
Lin Dong steadily made two free throws, 40:45.
Brent then stood at the center line to execute a foul ball.
beep--
As the referee blew the whistle, Brent threw the ball to Lin Dong, who had recently caught up, and the game started again!
Lin Dong just got the ball.
call!
A figure appeared in front of him like a flash of light.
No surprises.
With his lowered center of gravity and his eyes like an eagle hunting, he is the basketball god who is enough to drive any basketball player on the planet crazy.
Neither of them spoke, nor did they smile to communicate with each other.
Both of them saw the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes, but they seemed to be controlled by an invisible emotion. The faces of both of them showed absolute calm at this time, just like the eve of the storm.
Although the Wizards and Sonics have played against each other twice in the regular season, the first time the Sonics were in the process of team integration and tactical exploration, the second time they were in the process of improving their run-and-gun and playing as a team. In basketball, and because neither of them wants to compete too hard in the regular season, this is the first time the two have truly faced off against each other since the preseason exhibition game.
But this time, it's no longer just about performing or trying to prove something.
It's a real matter of life and death!
