Chapter 390 Hot-Blooded Downs
Beep, the referee whistled, Kidd came back to his senses, and looked over in a hurry.
In the penalty area, Thorne innocently raised his hands and looked at the referee. The referee gestured at the technical table. He fouled when he was asking for a position with Whiteside.
Whiteside rubbed his waist and sucked in the air-conditioning all the time, it can be seen that the blow Thorne gave him just now was quite painful.
"What's the matter with you, boy?" Downs rushed over, separating Whiteside from Thorne.
Towns has this kind of personality. Whenever something unfavorable to his teammates happens on the court, he will arrive as soon as possible and never misses.
Thorne ignored Downs and looked up at the big screen above his head.
The technical center began to play back. Just now, near the penalty area line, Thorne wanted to take a position, but unfortunately his tonnage was not enough, and he didn't squeeze Whiteside at all after a few times, so he had to use small moves.
It happened that this scene was seen by the referee. A rookie like Thorn has no privileges. Compared with Whiteside, he is not enough, so the referee didn't tolerate it at all, and directly blew the whistle.
"Hassan, let's switch places. I'll deal with this guy who doesn't know how old he is!" Towns pushed Whiteside away, and faced Thorn with his chest out.
Downs' words were related to age, which once again stimulated Thorne's nerves. He was panting with anger, and rushed forward to strike.
Antetokounmpo hurriedly pulled him away. After all, he still has a little friendship with Yuan Qingshan and Downs. How could he just watch the two sides fight on the court?
Yuan Qingshan also ran over, and he pulled away Tang Si who was still muttering, and Whiteside also helped stop Tang Si.
Whoa!
The fans started booing. Although the Milwaukee fans were very inclusive, the die-hard Bucks fans still couldn't accept the fact that there was a fight on the court.
"Calm down, calm down!" Wharton shouted from the sidelines.
On the Bucks side, Kidd was really calm. He observed the movements of the players with a blank expression.
Mark Jackson: "Wharton is really in a hurry, but Coach Kidd on the Bucks side seems to be very calm, and he really has nothing to fear at home."
Barkley joked: "I bet Kidd is having a second thought right now."
Mark Jackson didn't understand: "What do you mean? His players were called for a foul, and the opponent wanted to retaliate. No matter how you look at it, it's the Bucks who are at a disadvantage. What kind of devious thoughts can he have?"
Barkley smiled slyly: "I guess he wants to find a way to expel Downs from the field. Of course, it would be even better if Whiteside could be brought along. By the way, there is also Yuan Qingshan."
Mark Jackson had a black line on his face and said in his heart that you could expel the entire Lakers team from the game.
Besides, Kidd is also a member of the Hall of Famer and a basketball legend, so why is he so deceitful?
"Only people with a dark heart will make others think so complicated." Mark Jackson complained.
Barkley laughed, anyway, he was just joking, who knows what Kidd is thinking, and it can't rule out that possibility?
The referee pulled the two sides apart. It was his first time blowing the Lakers' ball. He had heard that Towns was short-tempered. Today, he saw that it was true. Whiteside didn't say anything, and he got angry first.
Antetokounmpo saw that Downs had calmed down a bit, so he pulled Yuan Qingshan over.
"Did that guy eat gunpowder?" Antetokounmpo asked with a glance at Downs.
Yuan Qingshan said that he was also helpless: "Hot-blooded Tang Si, isn't that the temper?"
Walton then called a timeout, and players from both sides returned to the bench.
Downs sat on the chair, and the caddy handed him Gardner. He unscrewed the cap and gulped down the whole bottle.
Whiteside sat next to him and elbowed him: "Don't be angry, it's no big deal."
After Yuan Qingshan heard it, he suppressed a smile. In the end, it seemed that it was Tang Si who was bullied just now. This Hassan is really honest and kind.
Downs wiped his sweat and shook his head: "I don't know as much as that guy, I don't believe he is a rookie."
Yuan Qingshan sighed, pointed at Downs's nose and said, "You're going to be in trouble, you forgot, last time we had dinner with Antetokounmpo, he introduced Thorne as a lottery pick, and what this guy hates the most is when people make jokes about his age. You really don't know what to do."
"Oops!" exclaimed Whiteside. "I asked him his age before the scrimmage."
Yuan Qingshan was even more speechless: "You two, it's really a headache."
Downs snorted: "So what if I ask, I'm going to make fun of him later."
Whiteside said slowly: "I didn't know he would be sensitive to this. I should apologize to him."
Two people, two different ways of dealing with it.
Yuan Qingshan is of course more supportive of Whiteside. Sooner or later, Towns' personality will suffer, but there is no way. Temperament is born. If he is not like this, then he is not Karl-Anthony Towns.
The timeout was short, the whistle sounded again, and the two sides returned to the field.
The Lakers lineup has changed. This time Yuan Qingshan, Brogdon, Barnes, Jeff Green and Channing Frye are on the stage.
Coach Walton deliberately left Towns and Whiteside off the court. The Bucks are a big team. Walton wants to win this game, and he doesn't want his main players to be suspended.
The Bucks are different. They no longer care about performance pressure, and Thorne is not a pivotal core player, so Kidd continues to let him play with anger.
Barkley laughed badly: "Look at what I said, Kidd just wanted to use Thorne to annoy the Lakers players."
Mark Jackson couldn't answer these words. Kidd made strange moves when he was playing. I didn't expect that he would still be uncertain after becoming a coach.
The number of fouls by the Bucks has not yet reached, the Lakers sent the ball out of bounds, Yuan Qingshan got the ball and pushed forward from the middle.
Now it's Channing Frye facing Thorne, this is good, Thorne doesn't have to worry about being unable to block his opponent at the basket, Channing Frye doesn't give him a chance to block at all.
This guy ambushed the corner right off the tee.
Thorne wanted to cry, but if he faced an opponent like Whiteside, he could still fight with a sword.
How should I defend against an elevated turret like Channing Frye?
Yuan Qingshan faced Terry, slowly dribbling the ball, and kept observing the positions of his teammates on the field.
Not to mention, it seems that Channing Frye is in the best position. Thorne is worried that he won't be able to get the rebound and block Channing Frye's three-pointer, so he hesitates two steps away from the three-point line, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Kidd was in a hurry this time, and he circled his palms and shouted: "Thorn, what are you still doing, go to the defense, you can't let him shoot a three-pointer."
