Chapter 216 Damn Salt Lake City people! Post-match turmoil! [Customize]
Auerbach's scolding lasted for almost ten minutes, and no one dared to have any contact with him except Bird ran over to deliver water once.
The three referees looked embarrassed. They had already sent Auerbach out, but they couldn't get him out. Auerbach didn't listen to a word of their words. The official technical desk and technicians also gathered around, wanting to To persuade Auerbach off the field, lest he delay the game.
But the result was the same, Auerbach didn't listen to them at all.
It was not until the team doctor finished examining Willis' injury and hurried over to communicate with Auerbach that the grumpy old man finally took a breath and temporarily stopped the swear words he had accumulated for a century.
"The problem is not serious. It's a common sprain, but you have to rest for 1-3 weeks. The rest of the finals will definitely not catch up."
The team doctor was in a low mood and said his diagnosis. Willis has a high status in the team and almost everyone likes him. His injury made everyone feel great sadness.
"Three Five Zeros"
Auerbach sighed heavily when he heard this.
For an athlete of Willis' age, it doesn't take much to say.
This is the first trip to the finals in his life, and Willis can only leave temporarily.
Auerbach lowered his head, walked to Willis' side, and communicated with him in a low voice.
He comforted him, put him on a stretcher himself, and left the field with him.
Auerbach never communicated with anyone other than a thumbs up at the Celtics bench as he left.
This game has not had any twists and turns since then. The Celtics easily defeated the Jazz at 106:88 and took a 1:0 lead in the finals. But they also paid for the bad news that Auerbach was sent off, and an additional penalty is likely, and Willis bid farewell to the season ahead of schedule.
At the post-match press conference, Lin Long didn't answer the media's questions or let them ask questions, he said directly: "Tonight's penalty is a piece of shit, I've never been so disappointed after a victory, they leaked. Countless physical confrontations and non-basketball moves that shouldn't have been lost, but a lot of people feel that it doesn't matter, even if our brothers say goodbye to this series early."
"Despicable, shameless, contemptible, insidious. I don't have much vocabulary, but I'm willing to use all the negative words to describe tonight's Jazz team. They don't get my respect, and they don't even deserve to be in the general office. On the final court, they were a disgrace to the game of basketball.99
"That's all I want to say. I hope the league can check tonight's video and give due penalties and additional penalties. If the league doesn't do it, or thinks these actions don't matter. Well, I have mine. Way, I will use my way to get those guys off the basketball court.
Lin Long's remarks caused an uproar among the reporters below. One of the reporters from Salt Lake City stood up and said, "Lin, I think what you just sent was a threat, an intimidation, an insult and slander to Salt Lake City basketball. A vicious curse. Excuse me, am I wrong?"
Lin Long looked at the reporter and said slowly: "there will be his press conference in the future, I won't participate! I don't chat with idiots. Besides, except for the insult and slander section, you are right about the other parts. This is the Outright threats and intimidation, fines, go ahead. I've got money! Let's see what happens in this series."
After Lin Long said this, he left the press conference without looking back, without giving reporters a chance to entangle.
On the Jazz side, Malone said with a smile: "I am very disappointed and regretful about Kevin Willis, we are brothers and old rivals, I have great respect for him, and I like his game. But it's an accident, an accident that nobody can control and nobody wants to see, and I've talked to Kevin and he thinks it's an accident too
He didn't take it to heart. 3
"To be honest, I don't know why Lin insulted us by saying that, his words hurt me so much that I wondered if we really did something wrong. But before that, I have to say: if he If you really want to do something, then just come. Salt Lake City people have the backbone and dignity of Salt Lake City people. If you want to trample us, it is impossible!
Malone's nonchalant performance and face made most of the media and reporters feel bad about the Jazz.
In the post-game press release, almost all the sports media, except the local media in Salt Lake City, completely blamed the Jazz for the incident, blaming them for being rough, moving too much, and not protecting their opponents at all.
Even many players in the league have come forward for interviews.
For example, 'Big Dream' Olajuwon said bluntly: "What I suffered in the Western Conference finals last year, I believe everyone can see, this is the style of the Jazz: beat you with something other than basketball, but I think, This time they picked the wrong opponent, and Lin and Charles will let them know what a failure is!
Lightning Miller said more directly before the end of the live broadcast: "The Celtics eliminated us, I hate them, but this is a personal grudge, and it doesn't affect them being an excellent basketball team, worthy of everything. Kudos. As for the Jazz, Lin Long can't say enough, the Jazz are rubbish!
"What Lin said is what I thought. If the show allows me, I would love to teach Lin some words he doesn't know how to greet Jazz players and all their relatives. I have a lot of words here!"
"Okay Smith, don't shoot me, I won't say it on the live broadcast! Even if he asks me now, I have to collect the money first, and then teach after the show! That's okay..."
But obviously, this level of accusation doesn't make the Jazz have any remorse, and they don't care.
On the contrary, during the second day of practice, Sloan rallied the players.
Obviously, he was in a very bad mood, and was beaten by the Celtics in Game 1 of the Finals.
This greatly exceeded his expectations, and it also made him look very ugly.
He originally patted his chest and assured the management that he would win the championship this year.
But after the first game, Sloan understood the huge gap in the strength of the two teams.
The Bulls have Pippen and Jordan, but they can't limit Lin Long's firepower. They only have Brian Russell and Hornacek. In this entire series, the Jazz's defense is destined to be played by Lin Long. became a sieve.
What's even more terrifying is that Lin Long can limit Malone while ensuring this level of firepower!
You know, the Jazz's current style of play, to put it nicely, is to focus on pick-and-roll and more offense.
To be honest, except for Malone, they don't have a reliable scoring point!
No one can even consistently score 10 points per game!
The Jazz have played so far, relying on the overall defense, tough and rough style and Malone's firepower across the West.
But now facing the Celtics, the defense was completely penetrated by Lin Long, and the offense Malone was completely held down by Lin Long 1-1.
Using basketball to break the game, Sloan is really unexpected.
The only way is to use the non-basket 3.3 ball method, so that Lin Long can no longer play!
Seeing the players approaching one after another, Sloan's signature hooked nose and deep-set eyes looked even more irritating, and he looked like a perverted murderer. Facing Malone, Stockton and others, Sloan ordered a pick-up. down tactics.
In the hotel where the Celtics stayed, everyone was anxiously watching Auerbach answer the phone.
After a long time, Auerbach's face was ugly and solemn, and he said slowly: "The latest news, I was suspended for 1 game and fined 30,000 US dollars, Lin was fined 25,000 US dollars for his remarks, but there is no other punishment, but …
Auerbach sighed: "Kevin can't come back for this series, his ankle has been diagnosed with a grade 2 sprain, and he will need at least 2-4 weeks of recovery time, and he will definitely miss the entire series.
"Damn Salt Lake City people! Damn!"
Barkley slapped the table and said angrily: "What about the league for them? No punishment? No punishment?"
