Chapter 148
"Beep! Beep!"
The referee, who had seen it clearly.
Blew the whistle immediately.
They also saw Bowen step under, understood why Su Yan was furious, stopped the game, and prepared to watch the replay to determine if Bowen was intentional or unintentional.
Then make a follow-up penalty.
Bowen, who had been pushed, didn't go to cause trouble with Su Yan, but immediately went to explain to the referee, "Ref, I really didn't mean it.
I didn't want to step under him.
I was just focused on defending and took too big a step."
The referee shook his head; this time, they couldn't listen to Bowen's one-sided story.
Compared to fouls like elbows and shoves, "stepping under" is an act against sportsmanship that the league has "zero tolerance" for.
Unless it can be proven to be unintentional.
Otherwise... there will definitely be a penalty.
Bowen, after apologizing and explaining to the referee, found Su Yan again, still with a grinning face, "Su Yan, I'm really sorry.
I'm truly sorry.
I'm really apologetic.
I really didn't mean it, I just wanted to defend, it was unintentional, please don't mind, and if you can, help me talk to the referee.
Don't call a technical foul on me."
Su Yan:???
Still at it? Still doing this?
Never-ending, right?
Everyone is a fool, right?
You have the nerve to ask me to plead for you, how can you say that so brazenly? You really are shameless!
Su Yan finally understood how this "dirty" guy Bowen, who says one thing and does another, practices his "dirty literature."
Do the most vicious things.
Say the sweetest words.
Thereby achieving the goal of destroying opponents while minimizing his own fouls and staying on the court as much as possible, perfecting the essence of defense.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort.
Su Yan didn't even look at Bowen, and returned to the bench with Da Yao, Pippen, and others to wait.
The fans all looked at the big screen.
To watch the replay of Bowen's stepping under Su Yan just now.
How was it?
In slow motion, Bowen did extend his foot, but... Bowen is the "Foot-Stepping Hero," a veteran player of stepping under.
He didn't put his foot down.
The whole process looked like normal defense, but in his eagerness to chase, he accidentally took an extra step, leading to the stepping under situation.
So... nothing happened?
No.
That's impossible.
After multiple replays, the referee still determined that Bowen could no longer catch up to Su Yan to interfere with his defense, and had forced the defense.
There is only one reason.
That is... there was a suspicion of stepping under.
But since there was no obvious flaw, and Su Yan wasn't injured, the referee, after some discussion, gave Bowen a Flagrant Foul 1.
"Only a Flagrant 1?"
Su Yan was a bit unhappy.
But there seemed to be no other way, though he grew more and more disgusted with Bowen and more and more wary of him.
"Ref, I'm really sorry, I should be more careful, I shouldn't hurt players because of defense, this is my problem.
Being ejected is deserved.
A Flagrant 1, I am lucky, I will defend better and more correctly."
Bowen continued to apologize.
"Mm, you must be careful, you cannot "step under" and hurt people, that is absolutely not allowed."
The referee warned.
The fact that the referee could say that meant they accepted Bowen, and to some extent felt that Bowen, who apologized so sincerely, didn't do it intentionally.
However.
This is Bowen's "apology-style" "dirty literature," making outsiders sympathize, while the players injured by him find it particularly nauseating.
"So disgusting!"
Su Yan found Bowen more and more unpleasant the more he looked at him.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Two free throws and possession.
Su Yan missed both free throws this time; clearly... Bowen's repeated flagrant fouls and mind games had affected Su Yan's state.
The game continued.
Bulls ball.
Bowen, who already had three fouls, was still on the court.
Old Man Popovich on the Spurs bench supported his chin with one hand, looking calm, seemingly having no intention of substituting Bowen.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Hinrich pushed the ball up.
And Bowen was once again pestering Su Yan like a mad dog, even though Su Yan did not have the ball in his hands right now, he was still clinging to him tightly.
To be honest.
He defended very seriously.
But Su Yan set a screen for Hinrich, letting him go around the screen to the middle of the arc; theoretically, Bowen should have switched.
But.
He hesitated, still staring at Su Yan first.
Hinrich was directly open; he was a shooter, and leaving him completely open was not a good choice.
"No."
Bowen thought quickly and hurriedly chased after him to interfere with Hinrich.
And Hinrich, who wasn't in a hurry to attack, was waiting for this moment; as Bowen rushed past, he passed the ball back to Su Yan, who was rolling to the next step.
Left high post.
Su Yan caught the ball; because of Bowen's half-beat hesitation, he was open, and Deng Ken in the paint hadn't caught up.
What now?
Still leaving the shot and defending the drive.
But... Bowen, who was over-defending, wanted to stop Su Yan so much that despite knowing the defensive strategy of "leave the shot, defend the drive" against Su Yan before the game,
at this moment.
"Ahhh!"
He still roared and chased after him.
But clearly.
The distance was too far to catch up, and Su Yan didn't care this time, jumping to shoot as if in practice.
【Primary Mid-Range Shooting】.
This gave the current Su Yan, when open for a mid-range shot, about an 80% shooting percentage.
"Whoosh~"
Su Yan was just about to jump to shoot. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
