Chapter 1298 New and Old Grudges!

The league's announcement caused a lot of controversy that day, especially when Artest, who had obviously deliberately stepped on Ji Feng during the game, was exempted from suspension. This made many people incomprehensible. Artest's stepping on Ji Feng's foot was once again criticized by the media. and the bombardment of fans.

Artest himself jumped up in the locker room after learning the news, and then knelt down to pray. Later, when interviewed by the media outside the Rockets training facility, Artest made it clear that he did not intentionally injure Ji Feng.

"I just defended actively, that's all. I was surprised by the result. I hope Ji Feng is okay. You know, I didn't mean it."

It's just that the irritated expression and ear-to-ear smile make it hard to believe that this is what he means.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, this result made Lakers fans very dissatisfied. They were dissing Artest and the league online, thinking that this was a means to maintain the competitiveness of the game.

Some fans refuted the remarks of some Rockets fans who each played 50 rebounds, saying: "Since you said Artest and Vujacic are the same, how about swapping clubs next season?"

Various commentators and other players in the league also expressed their opinions.

"Obviously, although it seems that both teams are not affected, it is unfair. Artest's action was much worse than Vujacic. Vujacic was swinging his elbow during the confrontation for rebounds, which is different from actively running up. Is it the same as pushing people and stepping on their feet?" Su Qun bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction in his column.

ESPN also said that the result of this handling is really unsatisfactory: "Although from the perspective of the intensity of the game, this will certainly make the subsequent games more exciting, but from a fair perspective, this active and malicious foul should be accepted more Serious penalties."

Even Bowen, the first modern step-stepping man, the famous villain and Spurs defensive expert, also came out to join in the fun. He commented on the incident in an interview and said: "That step-up defense? I watched the replay, and I think he was He was going towards Ji Feng, you know, I understand very well (laughing happily), he had enough time to stop, but he continued to move in the direction of Ji Feng. In addition to the obvious thugs on his hands, his lower body was also violated. This move is absolutely dangerous if you have taken over Ji Feng’s territory.”

"That's Ji Feng. I'm very familiar with that guy's strength. It's not easy for you to foul on him, but Artest still did it."

In the end, Bowen said humorously: "I don't know what will happen to Ron." Bowen said: "But if it were me, I know what would happen: a suspension."

Of course, Bowen's words are not convincing. Bowen is the biggest beneficiary of this kind of penalty. From his debut to 2008, the number of victims at Bowen's feet has been increasing. In the Western Conference finals that year, he first flew He kicked Stoudemire and hit Nash's sensitive parts. After receiving the complaint, the league promised to conduct special monitoring of Bowen, but until he started 500 consecutive games, he was not even suspended...

That's how Bowen got his title as the league's biggest player. It wasn't until the past two seasons that Bowen was caught repeatedly. This season, he was suspended for three games for stepping in.

Regarding this penalty, Ji Feng also expressed his dissatisfaction. As a person involved, no one knows the danger of this action better than him. Although the result is that Ji Feng returns to the court, it does not feel very serious, but this is Ji Feng. , it is light for an individual to be reimbursed for the season, and it is very likely to affect his career.

Therefore, Ji Feng said bluntly in the interview: "In my impression, if you are maliciously stepped on by your opponent, you should be called a flagrant foul, as well as fined and suspended. Maybe I made a mistake. I have to study the rules of the game." .”

"Of course, it's not my job to evaluate whether there is a foul," Ji Feng continued. "My job is to play, so I'll see you on the court."

The relationship between Ji Feng and Artest has been completely settled. Ji Feng has already made up his mind to show Artest some color in the next game. There are old and new grudges. Ji Feng is now full of fighting spirit. He will definitely want to play in this scene. Those who are brought back to the scene must avenge themselves. This is Ji Feng's character!

Artest shouted to Ji Feng from afar: "Come on, I hope your feet can still bear it."

A strong smell of gunpowder broke out between the two in the air, making the second game between the Lakers and Rockets even more eye-catching.

But before that, there are two more games in the conference semifinals on the 6th.

The first is the Nuggets versus the Mavericks in the Western Conference. This is considered the best series to test the strength of the Nuggets, because the Mavericks are a dark horse team that defeated the Spurs. They issued a victory declaration before the game, determined to win at least one away game. Next game.

But in the first game, the Nuggets gave the Mavericks a blow in the head from afar!

The Mavericks' tactics are very clear. Now everyone knows that Billups is the engine of the Nuggets, so they must tightly grasp this. Kidd did it!

Needless to say, the old Kidd's strength. Although he plays dead most of the time, once he exerts his strength, he is still at the league's top level, especially his rhythm and defensive ability, which makes Billups very uncomfortable.

24-15 in the first quarter, the Mavericks took the lead!

At this time, the Nuggets showed off their weapons. Before that, their style of play was centered on Billups, but tonight, for the first time, they transferred the core to Anthony!

The beast is out of the cage!

Anthony previously only averaged 22 points per game and did not shine in the playoffs, especially when he was surrounded by a strong man named Billups who averaged 30.1 points and 8.9 assists per game. Some fans joked that Anthony's best thing was hugging his thighs...

But tonight, Anthony broke out!

Constant triple threat, super accurate mid-range shots and three-pointers, 16 points in a single quarter. Without Howard, the Mavericks were overwhelmed by Anthony in a single quarter. Then Anthony was out of control, scoring 37 points and 7 rebounds in the game. , shooting as high as 57%, not only made Dirk's 28 points go in vain, but also led the team to a 109-90 victory over the Mavericks to win their first victory.

Billups only scored 6 points and 5 assists, but the Nuggets still won a big victory. Therefore, this game also revealed that the Nuggets were really hiding their strength in the first round. The power of the dual-core outside line is really terrifying.

In another game, the Cavaliers were still invincible, and the Hawks resisted for half a game. In the third quarter, James scored 16 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. He defeated the Hawks 32-16 in one quarter and finally defeated the opponent 99-72 to get a good start. , this is also the game with the largest gap in the conference semifinals.

James made 12 of 20 shots and 8 of 9 free throws in 34 minutes. He scored 34 points and had 10 rebounds and 8 assists. On the defensive end, he repeatedly misplaced his defense against Joe Johnson, and he scored 11 points against the Eagles. He almost scored 11 points. It's a psychological shadow. After this game, the Eagles were also looked down upon by many people. Most people thought they could win up to 5 games.

And on May 7th, the feast for Lakers and Rockets fans is coming again!

Ji Feng appears again with a bandage. It's time to settle old and new grudges!
