Chapter 979: With the game intensity so high, even while sitting, the bench players' moods fluctuated constantly, and their anger bur

Everyone had the urge to jump into the fray.

Taking the lead.

"Nerve Blade" JR Smith was never one to be trifled with; seeing his boss being worn down and maliciously harmed by the opponents,

how could he endure this?

On the first possession.

"Bang!"

During a drive and contact, he flew up for a layup and drove an elbow into Maurice Evans' nose, drawing blood immediately.

Crucially.

The referees couldn't tell at first.

It just looked like a layup with a bit too much force.

It wasn't until blood was drawn and the Pistons called a timeout to stop the bleeding for Maurice Evans that the referees realized the severity of the problem.

They immediately went to the scorer's table to check the replay.

Because it was an injury to the nose area above the neck, it drew blood, and it was an elbowing motion.

After reviewing, the referee assessed a technical foul on JR Smith.

Maurice Evans was no pushover either; on the transition offense, he went straight for the man, leading with his own elbow, and swung it into the chest of JR Smith, who was flying up for a block.

The intent was very obvious.

"Ah~"

JR Smith cried out in pain at that instant.

Immediately... he lost his temper, rushed up to shove Maurice Evans, and roared at him: "I was just making a normal layup and it was an accidental collision.

You, damn it, maliciously elbowed me?!"

"Who knows if you were normal or if you just wanted to swing your elbow?!"

Maurice Evans shoved back.

The two grabbed each other's jerseys, went head-to-head, and started trading trash talk; the arena atmosphere grew restless once again.

The referees rushed in to break it up.

Pistons power forward McDyess and shooting guard Delfino rushed up, while the Bulls' Pippen, Korver, and David Lee also swarmed in.

Whether the conflict would escalate further was another matter.

But they could not show weakness in their momentum.

The referees stopped the game again to watch the video replay.

Finally, they gave both JR Smith and Maurice Evans a flagrant foul each; JR Smith accumulated 2 technical fouls.

He was ejected from the game.

"Fine, fine, fine, so that's how we're playing?!"

Pippen narrowed his eyes.

He had lost the interest in playing a normal game, constantly provoking Maurice Evans verbally and using heavy physical contact against him.

He took a foul himself.

He accepted it.

But in three minutes, he finally triggered Maurice Evans; the two were tangled together, shoving and pulling at each other's arms.

"Beep! Beep!"

The referee rushed to pull the two apart once again.

They went to the scorer's table to watch the replay yet again; clearly... Pippen's previous trash talk did not count toward this.

The referee only saw Maurice Evans throw the first punch, followed by the two brawling.

In the final ruling, each received a technical foul.

Maurice Evans also accumulated 2 technical fouls and was ejected from the game.

Pippen's strategy succeeded; if he had chosen to endure, nothing would have happened, but he clearly wasn't that kind of old veteran.

Who's afraid of whom?

Just do it.

"Beep! Beep!"

Coach Scott Skiles called a timeout at this moment.

Both starting lineups returned.

With the bench rotation, two players ejected, and five technical fouls, the scene was incredible; the gunpowder smell on the court continued.

It even showed signs of escalating.

The game continued.

"Swish!"

Su Yan first hit a fadeaway three-pointer from the left arc, facing Hamilton's face-to-face defense, showing no mercy.

A brutal humiliation.

Next... in a mismatch against Prince, under the prediction of the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, he shook him until he fell to the floor.

【Intermediate Mid-range Shot】, hit steadily.

This wasn't over yet.

Just one minute later, Su Yan charged into the paint from the right, grabbed the ball, and exploded upward, ignoring the defense of Rasheed Wallace rushing over.

"Bang!"

First, contact in the air.

His body continued to rise during the contact, and then... he slammed it down, posterizing the "Rasheed the Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Wallace!

"Thud!"

The powerful impact knocked him to the ground.

Su Yan hung on the rim, landed steadily, stood in front of Rasheed, looked down at him, and said nothing.

But sometimes, silence is more hurtful than words.

Rasheed was so angry his face turned red.

However... misfortune never comes singly; on the next possession, under the prediction of the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, Su Yan seized Rasheed's desperate desire to lock him down.

He shook him to the ground again, right in front of him.

Su Yan gathered the ball, glanced at Rasheed on the ground, maximizing the humiliation, and adjusted before shooting.

In this gap. ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
