Three Hundred and Twenty Nine: People Who Can't Afford It

George Karl was devastated by Link. He didn't expect that Chinese American would take the initiative to go to the sidelines to provoke him.

The most important thing is that Afflalo has defended Link for only two rounds, and it can be seen that he is very struggling. "Rattlesnake" also had to walk around the road in front of the big black bear.

Link beat the Nuggets 4-0 as soon as he came up. It seemed that the score was not big, but it played a huge role in stabilizing morale.

Now, the Grizzlies have nothing to fear from the rough Nuggets. On the contrary, the Nuggets are a little more afraid of Link.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides fought each other in this hand-to-hand fight. But George Karl's expected game did not appear. The Grizzlies seemed to be very comfortable with this rough game, but the Nuggets felt a little stunned.

The Nuggets didn't finally score the first goal until 4 minutes and 20 seconds after the opening. At that time, the score became 8 to 2!

An exasperated George Karl called to stop the game, and all the Nuggets players lowered their heads. They knew that it would be inevitable that Old Carl would scold him in the future.

"You are a softie! My Cao, look at what you are defending!? That guy can attack you as much as he wants, you seem to be a decoration! God, what kind of game do you think this is!? This is Playoffs buddy, do you know about the playoffs!? If you let him break through you so easily, then you just wait for him to score 50 points in a single game!"

Sure enough, as soon as Afflalo came off the court, George Karl scolded him head and face.

Don't think that George Karl will comfort the players, encourage the players, and play those warmth cards. For him, scolding is the most effective way to solve the problem.

"Javier, you come on the court later, show me how smart you are on the court! If anyone dares to enter the penalty area, you will let him taste the feeling of being blocked!" Cursing is useless, George Karl must also You have to do something real that solves the problem.

So, he decided to replace Koufos and use the more athletic McGee to play and strengthen the defense.

McGee nodded excitedly and took off his training clothes. Don't underestimate this guy, McGee also sent a triple-double of 10+ blocks last season. This guy is definitely a master of defense, and his physical talent is visible to the naked eye.

"Offensively, pass me more balls, pass the fucking ball up, share it! You idiots aren't stupid enough to want to go one-on-one with each other, are you? Huh?"

In the end, it was the electronic beep after the timeout that saved the Nuggets. Finally, Old Carl's yelling was interrupted. The game restarted and the players returned to the field.

Afflalo had just stepped onto the pitch when he was grabbed by Karl Sr. He thought he was unlucky and was ready to be scolded again, but he didn't know that Old Carl didn't scold, but leaned into his ear and whispered, "If necessary, the action can be bigger. Beat like a man, I don't care His life or death."

Afflalo looked at his coach in surprise, but the white-haired old man just blinked meaningfully.

Afflalo pouted, caught in a dilemma.

※※※

Than start again, the Denver Nuggets go first. The Grizzlies' five tigers are all in a posture. In the past four minutes, their defense against the Nuggets has been perfect.

The Nuggets urgently need to score now, and urgently need a player who can make the final decision to stand up. But unfortunately, this is what the Nuggets lack.

When a team does not have an offensive strength, it is very difficult to come back in a stalemate.

Afflalo looked at Link, his mind was full of George Karl's words. He knew Karl was someone who would do anything to win, and Afflalo didn't mind doing the dirty work.

He has never been a good stubble. In the regular season this year, Afflalo was also suspended for one game for maliciously elbowing Hayward.

Afflalo gritted his teeth. There are always villains in this world. In order to win, he has no choice but to put all his eggs in one basket.

In this attack, Afflalo's running was very active. And in the process of getting rid of Link, he gave Link a dark elbow.

As a result, Link was thrown half a body away, and Afflalo's elbow was not safe today.

Seeing this situation, Ty Lawson breaks through and divides the ball, and the target of the pass is Afflalo, who is halfway out.

Link, who was angry, quickened his pace, then straightened his arms, and his fingertips touched the basketball!

Link then dived directly, took the basketball off, and pressed it firmly under his body! Seeing this, Afflalo fell directly on Link's body. When he fell, he didn't forget to scratch Link's face with his elbow intentionally or unintentionally!

"Fuck!" Link was still holding the basketball tightly, and took the opportunity to clamp Afflalo's arm tightly!

The two are surrounded by players, so the referees can't see the specific physical contact between Link and Afflalo. It wasn't until Afflalo screamed that the referee finally called a scrimmage and stopped the game.

"What's going on!? We seem to have heard Afflalo's screams just now?" Hubie Brown stretched his neck and looked into the field, and found that Afflalo and Link who had fallen to the ground and scrambled for the ball stood up. .

Link was fine, but Afflalo kept clutching his right arm.

George Karl also felt strange, how could there be screams when grabbing a floor ball...

Only Afflalo knew that when he and Link were fighting for the ball just now, Link deliberately clamped his arm and locked it tightly. On the surface, it seems that Link is holding on to the basketball, but in fact, if Link continues to exert force and the referee does not stop the game, Afflalo estimates that he will lose his arm.

Well, now the hooligans are going to die. Afflalo's task is to deter Link by all means, but now, Afflalo himself is a little afraid of Link.

After getting up, Link pointed to Afflalo without saying anything. But Afflalo knew it was just a warning. If he continues to use small tricks against Link, Link will continue to retaliate.

Link's vicious expression made Afflalo's heart shudder, Link would not take the initiative to use these dirty moves. But here is the playoffs, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. The opponent's way of being ruthless is to be more ruthless than him.

In the subsequent scrimmage, Afflalo, who was not dominant in height and jumping, lost to Link, and the ball still belonged to the Grizzlies.

This time, Link relied on Afflalo to break through, and then made a quick stop and made a successful shot. 10 to 2, the Nuggets seem to have not recovered.

"You don't understand what the fuck I said, right?" George Karl yelled at Afflalo again, and Afflalo really wanted to take off his jersey and stop playing. Get Link? Putting it lightly!

In the game after the first quarter, Afflalo didn't give Link too much obstruction because of his fear.

The Grizzlies beat the Nuggets 25-14 in the first quarter and led the Nuggets by 11 points in the first quarter.

After Afflalo tasted the strength of the first quarter, he stopped punching Link, and he wanted to keep his arm.

Link also told his teammates and coaches about the situation, warning them to be careful about the behavior of the Nuggets players. George Karl is a madman, that guy can do anything.

What about George Karl? He intensified.

"You have to kill him! Kill him! Do you want me to be more explicit!?"

"Why do you always have trouble with him?" Afflalo became impatient. It was not someone else whose arm was almost broken just now, and no one could understand his fear.

"I can't get along with him!? God, you are now 11 points behind in a single quarter! And that No. 0 scored 7 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter! Tell me, who am I talking about?" Can't make it through!? If you don't do it, you are making it hard for victory! This is fucking war, have you ever seen a bloodless war!?" George Karl pointed directly at Afflalo's nose and cursed, and there were many people in the scene The camera also captured this scene.

Afflalo smashed the towel in his hand. This summer, no matter what, he will apply to leave the team!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nuggets' offense still couldn't find the center of gravity, and it was a mess.

On the Grizzlies side, under the leadership of Link, they directly became multi-point blossoms.

Of course, things are not as smooth as they seem. During a three-point shot, Link found that Afflalo had deliberately put his feet under his feet!

Fortunately, Link adjusted in time, so he didn't step on Afflalo's feet! If you really step on it, the consequences will be disastrous!

This kind of small action usually leads to a big accident, but few people can see it if there is no accident.

Link first glared at Afflalo, and then glared at George Karl.

George Karl also responded with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had admitted his crime, "That's right, I just want to destroy you!"

Link didn't want to swallow his anger, if the other party even did things like stepping, then there's no need to be soft!

"Link misses the shot and the Nuggets attack! Lawson lobs the ball inside and tries to hit Faried! Eh? Link, Link rushes out and he steals Lawson's pass!"

Link's concentration was so focused that the moment Lawson passed the ball, he followed suit.

After winning the basketball, Link pushed forward, and Afflalo immediately entangled him, pulling Link's jersey. But this kind of action is already very "gentle" in Link's view.

Link didn't stop, but hit the ball into the hands of Conley who plugged in. Then, Link ran to the right corner, which happened to be the direction of the Nuggets bench.

Conley rushed in quickly, attracting the attention of most Nuggets players. But Conley didn't try to be brave, but the moment he broke into the penalty area, he passed the ball back to Link who was ambushing in the right corner!

"Break through the ball, Link got a chance!"

"Fuck!" Afflalo ran towards Link with all his strength. If Link scored this goal again, he would almost collapse.

Link lifted the basketball, and Afflalo took off with all his strength, jumping high.

But Link didn't shoot, nor did he take the opportunity to break through. Instead, he dribbled another step to the side and chose a three-point shot. This time, Afflalo's leg hit Link's shoulder. Afflalo turned over with his head upside down!

"Fuck it..." George Carl, who was standing on the sidelines, hadn't finished swearing when he was knocked to the ground by Afflalo who was turned up.

"Beep beep beep beep!" The referee blew his whistle, and the Nuggets' bench fell on their backs. George Karl was pulled up, but he found blood on his shirt!

Looking again, Afflalo fell to the ground and couldn't move! And his head was knocked open, bleeding profusely!

George Karl was about to scold Link, but found that the referee was not calling an offensive foul, but a defensive foul!

"Afflalo violated Link's cylinder and made a defensive foul. If your player is bleeding, you can only play after the bleeding is stopped!" The referee was aware of the details and did not make random penalties because of Afflalo's bad fall.

In a basketball game, sometimes the side that falls miserably is not necessarily the innocent side.

Karl originally wanted to accuse Link of his behavior, but when he heard that Afflalo had fouled, he forcibly suppressed the words he wanted to scold!

This is uncomfortable!

Link looked coldly at the motionless Afflalo, then shrugged at George Karl. Then, stand on the free throw line and prepare to make three free throws!

In the end, Efflalo was carried out of the court in embarrassment. It is not difficult to see from the blood on the jersey that the fall was not light. Link, however, was not blamed. Because, on the contrary, he is still the one being violated...

Looking at Afflalo being carried out, looking at the blood stains on his shirt, and looking at Link standing at the free throw line, George Karl suddenly sat down on the bench.

Coaching the NBA for so many years, George Karl has been domineering. But today, he seemed to have offended someone he couldn't afford.
