Chapter 959 He Is a Ruthless Person (Third Update!)
Cole was standing on the sidelines, and he realized at this time that the situation was somewhat out of his control.
He called Green up and prepared to let him come on to replace Pachulia.
The Warriors attacked in the frontcourt, and Thompson's three-pointer bounced out of the frame. Livingston's tip-in failed to hit, and Diaw finally collected the defensive rebound.
Green walked to the technical table and waited for the dead ball to come into play.
After Diaw got the rebound, he threw it directly to Williams, who made a fast break.
However, Livingston defended the ball very well, and Williams' shot was interfered with and slipped out.
The rebound was caught by McCaw who followed up. He wanted to counterattack the Pelicans' fast break and threw it directly into the frontcourt.
But he overestimated his passing ability. The ball did not reach the ball and was directly intercepted by Tang Tian who came out from the side.
After Tang Tian stole the ball, he went on a fast break. He dribbled low and turned around to pass Speights. Only Pachulia who was retreating to the basket was left in front of him.
He accelerated and rushed to the free throw line, preparing to take another step and leap into the air.
Pachulia made a move to block the shot.
Their eyes met, and Tang Tian noticed something in Pachulia's eyes.
This guy finally couldn't bear it anymore!
He took the next step and looked down while he was in the air.
Sure enough, there was already a foot at the landing point of the second step.
The same routine, block shots, and then wait for opportunities to step up.
There was a flash of lust in his eyes.
Since you don't want to be a human being, then don't blame me for not being a human being.
He adjusted his body's center of gravity in the air, retracted his legs slightly and moved his feet to the side, and finally concentrated all his strength on his right foot.
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to do this, but Tang Tian has enough ability to stay in the air and resist.
He took the second step, and all his weight and power were concentrated on the heel of his right foot, aiming in the direction of Pachulia's toes.
"Click."
The moment it landed, there was a very crisp sound.
Even in the noisy environment, both Tang Tian and Pachulia could hear it.
Tang Tian leaned forward, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
The fans at the scene looked horrified, and the originally noisy environment fell silent for an instant.
Stevens even rushed into the court.
Miller and Breen in the commentary box both held their heads in their hands.
Tang Tian was also stepped on!
What everyone was most worried about happened.
This will be an unprecedented loss to the alliance!
It was a disaster day for basketball!
The alliance's connivance with Pachulia ultimately brought about the worst results.
The three referees on the sidelines were also frightened.
Sweat instantly broke out of their pores and soaked their clothes.
They didn't even have time to react in the first place.
"ah!"
There was a heartbreaking scream.
However, it was not sent by Tang Tian, but by Pachulia.
Pachulia rolled over to the bottom, banged the floor violently with her hands, and let out a heart-breaking cry.
Everyone, including Stevens who rushed into the field, was shocked.
What's happening here? !
Even the Warriors' team doctor was stunned for a while. After Pachulia screamed for more than ten seconds and almost fainted from the pain, he realized and ran onto the court.
"toe……"
Pachulia was in so much pain that he couldn't even pronounce the words. It took him several times to let the team doctor understand which part he was talking about.
The team doctor quickly took off his shoes and socks, and Pachulia almost fainted from the pain during the process.
When he saw Pachulia's slightly deflated big toe, the team doctor felt a chill on his back. Tang Tian's kick just now was so hard.
But at this time, most people's attention was no longer on Pachulia's side. They all looked towards Tang Tian.
Although Tang Tian was sitting, he was still holding his ankles with a painful expression.
Finally, the Warriors found a wheelchair and moved Pachulia back to the locker room.
Tang Tian also walked to the sideline with the support of Davis and Holiday. He sat on the bench for a while and was helped toward the locker room.
The scene showed a slow-motion replay of the ball just now, and the fans once again saw Pachulia's step.
They weren't even interested in booing or shouting for expulsion because Tang Tian was injured.
Stevens was given a technical foul for running into the court out of control, but he was very emotional on the court now.
The main force was eliminated one after another, and it’s not Stevens’ fault. Even the saint would be furious.
The fans at the scene finally reacted and booed all over the place.
The Warriors are not weak to begin with, but they defeated the Spurs in this way before and now they are doing this to the Pelicans. It is really unacceptable.
Under tremendous pressure, the referee gave the final penalty for the ball just now.
Pachulia was found guilty of second-degree malice and was expelled directly.
The restlessness of the fans at the scene became quieter.
Green complained about the penalty there, but was quickly pulled back by Kerr.
He wanted to replace Pachulia in advance because he was afraid that Pachulia would mess with Tang Tian.
Tang Tian is now the number one player in the alliance, which is different from before. If he touches Tang Tian, he will touch the cake of the entire alliance. They will not be able to survive.
He reacted quickly enough in front of him and asked Green to replace Pachulia, but Thompson and Livingston didn't throw the damn ball in. There was no dead ball.
In addition to live shots, the scene also provides cutaway shots in the player tunnel.
Tang Tian did not return to the locker room, but stopped halfway through the players' tunnel.
He took his hands off Davis and Holiday and put his hands on the wall to stretch his ankles.
This scene seemed familiar.
In the 2009 Western Conference semifinals, the first game between the Rockets and the Lakers, Yao Ming was hit on the knee by Kobe Bryant five minutes before the end and left the game injured.
At that time, he stopped halfway through the tunnel and moved his knees.
The scenes that appeared on the camera began to overlap.
Tang Tian stepped on the ground after the activity, then turned around and walked back.
The cheers were loud and many fans were moved to tears.
Yao Ming and Tang Tian, Chinese players are really tough!
When Tang Tian reappeared in the New Orleans Arena, the cheers reached an unprecedented peak.
It's return of the king time!
Tang Tian went to the free throw line to perform a technical free throw.
He made both free throws steadily and looked like he wasn't injured.
But Stevens still called a timeout.
He and the team doctor came over and repeatedly asked about Tang Tian's condition.
Compared to Tang Tian's health, the Tianwang Mountain in front of him was not important at all. It could even be said that it was not important whether he could defend his title.
Tang Tian calmly signaled that he was fine.
The team doctor still checked him repeatedly.
Tang Tian also reiterated that he was fine.
The Return of the King and so on are all program effects.
He stepped on Pachulia with all his strength and used his heels, but he was not injured at all.
As for what happened after that, they were all the effects of his performances.
If he doesn't act like that, I'm afraid the referee won't pay attention to it and will continue to keep Pachulia on the court.
Of course, he couldn't say this.
Cole, who was far away, was relieved when he saw Tang Tian coming back, looking like there was no big problem.
But if he knew what Tang Tian was thinking, he would probably break into a cold sweat. He was really cruel.
