The Godfather of Basketball
v1 Chapter 54: Honeymoon
弗 Iverson's preemption failed, and Karl could use the full-court press even more, but he didn't choose to do that.
On the one hand, this is because the physical exertion of the players is too great, and it is difficult to say whether it can persist until the last moment. Catch up.
In the end, the Nuggets struggled to the last minute and scored 61 points with two shots, but the Rockets still blossomed more, winning the game 121 to 110, ending a three-game losing streak.
比赛 The most eye-catching game of this game is of course the first appearance of Baria and new aid Blake.
Although Baria was continually intercepted by Iverson at the last moment, he still contributed 12 points and 2 steals in the entire game, and successfully completed the "Mission" task.
布 Although Blake has only two assists in statistics, the last moment of the field control is to make fans feel a sense of security never before.
后 After this game, two news broke at the same time.
Martin suffered a serious injury to his right foot and was about to undergo knee surgery.
The player's injury was worthy of sympathy, but another news that followed was that the fans had no sympathy for him.
Martin's video of provoking Tang Tian before the game was also exposed by reporters, which caused strong protest from Chinese Americans.
The league responded quickly and issued the biggest ticket of the season to Martin, suspending 20 games and fined $ 100,000, counting from the date of Martin's return.
