At this time, the Kings were already 12 points behind.
And because the Kings' two inside players committed too many fouls, it can be said that the current Kings' inside players are useless in front of Zion.
The commentary is at the home court of the Pelicans, so the commentary is naturally biased towards the Pelicans.
His excited palms were sweating, and he kept saying:
"It's over, it's over. If nothing else, the Kings are over. Their inside line has been blown away by Zion, and their outside line is inaccurate. It seems like the Kings are over."
At this time, Kings coach D'Antoni called a timeout, but he couldn't think of a good way during the timeout.
Doug, who had been sitting on the bench, now sarcastically said:
"A guy who only knows how to show off dunks has made you like this? If he could do mid-range again, wouldn't you have been dead long ago?"
Everyone heard the thorn in his words, and everyone felt a little angry in their hearts.
Originally, he was lagging behind at this time, and everyone was anxious. Now that he said this, it is strange that everyone is not popular.
Everyone frowned and looked at him.
But at this moment, Wang Yi felt something in his heart and said to the head coach next to him:
"Coach, I think we can let Doug play."
When D'Antoni heard this, he hesitated a little.
He has always been very conservative in his employment. During the regular season, he often rotates only 8 people, and during the playoffs, he sometimes even rotates only 6 people.
Now, at such a critical moment, it is of course impossible for him to take the risk of bringing a guy who has not played for two years onto the court.
Wang Yi could only continue:
"Coach, just believe in him this time. I believe that as long as you give him playing time, he will definitely give you an unexpected surprise."
Head coach D'Antoni heard this and looked at Doug.
I saw that Doug still looked down on everyone.
D'Antoni looked at Wang Yi again, and Wang Yi nodded to him.
D'Antoni then said: "OK, Doug, you come in next and replace Tours."
It was only then that Doug slowly took off his shirt, then took off his trousers and threw them aside.
When he came on stage, he turned around and said to everyone: "Just watch."
The timeout ended and the Kings attacked. On the offensive end, the Kings really couldn't break the Pelicans' zone defense and could only shoot three-pointers from the outside.
But after the three-point shooting percentage dropped, he was naturally unable to hit the ball and was rebounded by the Pelicans.
This time after arriving in the backcourt, the Pelicans still gave the ball to Zion inside.
In fact, they don't want to do this, leaving every ball to Zion.
But the Kings' defense against their outside three-point shooters was really good, and they could only hand the ball to Zion.
I have to say that Zion's physical strength is really abnormal.
From the first quarter to now, almost 5 out of 10 goals have been scored by him mentally, and he has not shown any signs of physical decline until now.
At this time, Zion came to the inside again, and after getting the ball, his back was turned to Doug.
Doug chuckled: "Come on, let's see what a real man is."
Zion didn't care about Doug, who hadn't played much in the past two years, and dribbled the ball inward.
But when I pressed, I found that although this guy didn't look as strong as me, he was very powerful. Although I could press in a little with every step, it was only a little.
The most important thing is that Doug stretched out his hand and pinched Zion's waist.
Even if he is as strong as Zion, it still hurts when his waist is pinched.
So I lose my rhythm a little bit when dribbling.
So, he could only pull it out, intending to break through head on.
He used to play as a defender, so his frontal breakthrough skills are pretty good, and it's easy for him to break through Doug, who has average footwork.
After a simple cross change, he used his body to forcefully crush in, breaking through like a tank.
At this time, it was impossible for Doug to keep up with him. Zion dribbled to the basket and then dunked.
But when he jumped for a dunk, Doug pounced directly on him.
Then he suddenly pulled Zion out of the air with the ball.
This pull was very hard.
Zion almost fell down with his back to the ground.
The entire audience exclaimed in unison: "Oh——"
Zion fell to the ground, and anger suddenly surged in his heart.
He jumped up and yelled at Doug: "You fucking despicable and shameless bastard! You still hit people when you play ball!"
When Doug saw that Zion was getting angry, he just laughed and said, "Hit people and hit the ball by the way."
Zion was even more furious when he heard this.
"You are looking for death!"
At this time, Doug actually made an unexpected move and directly put his hands behind his back.
With a kind smile on his face, he said to me: "Kid, this first ball is just a warning to you. Watch your step for the next ball."
Zion had a fiery temper, but after being teased one after another like this, his anger could no longer be suppressed.
Pointing at Doug: "You shouldn't be on the basketball court. Your presence on the basketball court is a stain on basketball!"
However, at this time, the head coach and the security guard on the sidelines had already rushed over and separated the two people.
The entire Pelicans home court was filled with loud boos from fans.
However, in the face of the wild boos of more than 18,000 people, Doug was not frightened at all, but instead smiled.
He opened his arms toward the audience.
It was as if he was not enduring boos and abuse, but enjoying flowers and applause.
In the end, the referee reviewed the game video for a long time and only gave Doug a common foul.
The reason is that Doug went for the ball.
His pulling down Zion was just a combined action when he blocked shots.
At the same time, the referee also gave Zion a technical foul.
The reason is that Doug kept smiling and retreating after the foul, and even put his hands behind his back, obviously trying to resolve the conflict.
Zion, on the other hand, is pressing forward step by step. This approach is likely to cause the situation to further escalate.
This penalty made the audience very dissatisfied: our captain was pulled down like that and fell heavily to the floor. As a result, the guy only committed a common foul, and our captain still received a technical foul.
Is there any heavenly law, is there any royal law?
However, the dissatisfaction of the audience did not affect the referee's decision.
When Wang Yi saw this, he secretly admired Doug.
This guy really learned his tricks from me.
Although he always makes dirty moves on the defensive end, constantly making bad moves and causing injuries to the opponent, every time a conflict breaks out, he is able to control his emotions and quickly show that he has no intention of escalating the situation.
This way he can always get the lightest penalty.
However, in fact, he still continued to use words to anger his opponents.
If the opponent is unrelenting towards him at this time, then the opponent is likely to suffer more serious consequences.
This is the essence of what Bill Laimbeer said back then: "I don't like to fight. I just make trouble and then walk away."
