"Another riot, Bruce was carried off the court twice in a row...Did he set a new NBA record?"

Cole looked at the chaotic stadium and shook his head speechlessly.

Bowen was definitely the best player in the game today, and he didn't run away.

His performance today is really, in one word - wonderful!

He had obviously been beaten once, but he came back specially to receive a second beating...

Carter didn't watch the live broadcast of this game, otherwise he would have celebrated wildly for three days and three nights, and would have given the pennant to Wayne and Artest.

What's even more speechless is...Spurs coach Popovich also left the game due to injury...

Well, we have seen many players leave the game due to injuries, and it is not uncommon for coaches to be ejected due to technical fouls.

But the coach left the game due to injury... Anyway, this was the first time I met Cole.

At this time, there were still blood stains left by Popovich on the floor of the Spurs bench.

And...two teeth.

The most NBA coach whose teeth were knocked out by his players is none other than Popovich.

Budenholzer stepped in and became the interim head coach.

But at this time, the Spurs had no intention of fighting anymore.

Everyone is worried about Bowen and Popovich.

After all, this was the second time Bowen was beaten, and Popovich is so old, God knows whether he will be in serious trouble.

Of course, most fans' evaluation of Popovich's experience is that it is his own fault.

Except for Spurs fans, few people will feel sorry for him.

After all, if Bowen didn't step in to step in for Wayne, would Wayne lose his focus?

If Wayne doesn't lose his focus, will he overwhelm Popovich?

In the final analysis, it was Uncle Bao's fault.

In this wave, it can be said that Wayne played very cleanly, and even the slow-motion replay did not find any flaws.

So what if the camera catches Wayne laughing in the end? The laugh must be intentional? Can’t I mock the other coach?

What's more, Wayne still hasn't seen the footage of himself smiling at Popovich, so he probably wasn't captured.

And Artest's straight punch of justice was even more impactful.

In the replay on the big screen at the scene, the moment Artest's fist hit Bowen, Bowen's entire face was distorted.

Kerr felt pain when he saw it. Not only Bowen felt pain, but Artest's hand probably also hurt.

Do you really think that the purpose of boxing gloves is to protect your opponent? No, they are also used to protect your fists.

Artest's bare fist hit his head directly, and Tomjanovich said he felt very uncomfortable after watching it.

Of course, most fans cheered and shouted with excitement.

Bowen was finally beaten, which was a good thing that everyone was celebrating!

Chinese fans are now willing to call Artest Taibo!

Stand up for Chinese players and you are a friend of the Pandas.

"Fuck, Ron lost control again." In the luxury box, Donnie Walsh was really convinced.

Capitalized service.

Artest is definitely the player who has missed the most games this season without being injured.

With that punch just now, Artest will definitely be suspended for more than ten games, or even more.

"He just wants to protect his teammates, Downey. He has improved a lot." Bird didn't care too much. At least this time, Artest didn't lose his temper.

"You can't indulge them like this, Larry, they've done too many things. You don't want us to become the next Portland Trail Blazers, do you?" Walsh clearly disagreed with Bird's point of view.

"This is a teammate, Donnie, you don't understand."

"I..." Walsh was speechless. It's amazing that you have played in the NBA!

On the court, the staff responsible for cleaning the floor couldn't believe what they had experienced today.

First, he cleaned the foul-smelling yellow water stain, and now he had to clean the blood stains on the bench.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were cleaning the battlefield.

At this time, on the Pacers' bench, Carlisle also decided to let Wayne go back to the locker room to rest.

"What? I can still fight! I'm really not injured."

"No, I can't take any more risks. Go back, Wei. Watch Ron by the way, lest he smash our locker room to pieces." Carlisle's attitude was very determined. He had just seen Wayne's ankle hurt in a very scary way.

The angle was twisted.

Therefore, he felt that Wayne just wanted to grit his teeth and persevere.

Whether Wayne was injured or not was not decided by Wayne, nor by Carlisle.

We have to wait until after the game to undergo a professional medical examination before we can judge.

Wayne had no way to defend himself. He couldn't tell Carlisle that I had a body of steel.

So, he stood up and silently walked off the field amidst the cheers of the fans.

Well, limping off the field.

So difficult to act...

After Wayne walked into the reporter-free area of ​​the tunnel, he was finally able to walk normally.

He hurriedly walked to the locker room and opened the door to the locker room.

Wayne originally thought that the angry Artest would make a mess in the locker room. After all, Artest had a habit of smashing things when he was angry.

In high school, he once smashed the stands into rubble. Last season, Artest was severely fined by the league for smashing a photographer's camera.

But what surprised Wayne was that the locker room was very tidy and had not been touched by anyone.

As for Artest, he just took off his jersey and left it on the ground, sitting there quietly.

His eyes were empty and confused, just like when Wayne first met him.

Yes, emotions go from 0 to 100, and then from 100 to 0, with no increasing or decreasing process in between.

This is Artest, he can go from being the most gentle, kind and soft-spoken to suddenly becoming the opposite of these.

You can also instantly change from a ferocious beast to a docile Ron.

"Wei, are you okay? What did the team doctor say?" Wayne stood next to Artest for a long time, and Artest finally realized that Wayne was beside him.

"Thank God, I think I'm not injured, Ron..." Wayne squatted down and looked at Artest, who had regained his composure.

"Thank you, man." With that said, Wayne hugged Artest into his arms.

Wayne is really grateful to Artest.

Even though he's usually pretty cool, the way he just rushed up and beat Bowen was really cool.

In this league, not everyone will stand up for their teammates.

In fact, 80% of teammates have just ordinary colleague relationships.

There are very few people who can truly become friends in private and stand up for each other.

Didn’t you know that in the future, when Yang Shaoxia was with the Lakers, he would experience the famous scene of being beaten 5-1 by the Suns?

When Wayne was hurt, Artest dared to be the first to rush forward to fight. This is no longer a matter of rationality, but a matter of not caring about you as a teammate.

"There's nothing to thank you for. Last time at the Palace of Auburn Hills... you also stood up for me. I said I would be more decisive than Carter. You see, I didn't break my promise." Artest also said to Wayne

Hug.

Wayne was the first person in Artest's basketball career who did not blame him after a fight, but instead said thank you to him.

Why is Artest only close to Wayne in the Pacers?

Because he felt Wayne understood him.

Don't treat him like a troublesome freak.

It is the code of conduct in the Queensbridge District to protect brothers at both ends.

Artest just did what he thought was right.

As Wayne and Artest thanked each other, the last few minutes of the game were over quickly.

Although the Pacers are missing Artest and Wayne, two important players, the Spurs are also feeling uneasy because they are missing Popovich and Bowen.

The Spurs' minds are no longer on the game. They just want to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, so the players' condition is very average.

On the other hand, for the Pacers, after both Wayne and Artest were unable to continue the game, Reggie Miller stood up as the soul of the team and killed everyone in the fourth quarter!

Miller's comeback performance at the end of the season was most vividly reflected in this game.
To be continued...
