The older superstars of the NBA
Chapter 902 Poole
Disharmony in the team's locker room quickly spread.
Tristan Thompson became the culprit. Not only was his performance on the court unsatisfactory, but he was also always in trouble off the court.
Zach LaVine and Adrian Ennis naturally would not stand with him. Although Adrian did not mind because of his retort, his attitude towards Tristan was also much colder than before.
Dwight Howard himself didn't like Tristan, and now that he saw that Tristan was defeated, he was naturally happy to side with Adrian and LaVine.
Head coach Norman Thomas decided to temporarily put Tristan on the team's bench after persuading him to no avail.
beep.
The second half comes.
Both sides appear again.
The Knicks serve.
Jeremy Lin is holding the ball, and he is responsible for controlling the ball and organizing the offense. After halftime, LaVine threw away the defensive player and ran to the wing to receive the ball, and the ball was quickly transferred to him.
LaVine singled out Warriors guard Damien Lee. The two faced each other, and LaVine dribbled the ball into the basket. Draymond Green quickly stepped in and reached out to interfere after seeing LaVine.
LaVine threw the ball one step ahead.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket.
The Warriors fought back.
Without Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors also have no backbone.
Therefore, after the ball passed halftime, Jordan Poole, who was responsible for controlling the ball, simply did not choose to pass the ball, but faced Jeremy Lin with the ball in singles.
He first dribbled under his crotch to test Jeremy Lin's center of gravity, then suddenly lifted the basketball and hit a three-pointer.
Swish.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Poole's three-pointer drew constant applause from the fans.
The Knicks fought back.
After receiving the ball, LaVine dribbled the ball across the half court. He originally tried to make a fast break, but others were half a beat too slow to react, and LaVine was also caught up by the opponent's defensive players.
Therefore, LaVine, who was in control of the ball, could only transfer the ball to Adrian, while he himself kept running around looking for opportunities.
Adrian rushed to the basket after receiving the ball. Faced with the interference of the Warriors' big man inside, he chose to hit the opponent on the wing.
After turning around one after another, he suddenly used his feet to avoid the opponent and rushed to the basket. Bang, Adrian threw the ball onto the backboard and smashed it into the basket.
The ball went in.
For the Warriors, Poole continued to attack with the ball.
This time he was looking for opportunities outside the three-point line, and Green inside seemed to seize the gap and rush to the right side of the basket. But when Green reached out for the ball, Poole had no intention of passing it to him.
Not only that, Poole deliberately looked in his direction, using Green's attention on the right side to influence the judgment of the Knicks' defenders.
After everyone else noticed the hole on Green's side, Poole immediately took the ball and broke through from the left side.
He drove the ball all the way to the basket, and finally threw the ball into the basket with a high throw under the interference of Noah Vonleh.
The ball went in.
Green, who was under the basket, was not happy about this, but his face turned dark. When the Warriors players were all running toward half court, Green also took the opportunity to come to Poole.
"Are you blind? Damn you bastard! Why don't you pass the basketball to me? Do you think you are really Jordan?"
Green spoke to Poole rudely.
Poole did not take Green seriously and responded to him by saying, "Why did I pass the ball to you? Who do you think you are?"
"The leader of the Warriors is Steph and Klay, not you Draymond!"
As soon as he said this, Green immediately broke through his defense! He has always regarded himself as the leader of the Warriors. Although he was very "smart" in placing himself behind Curry, it is unknown whether he really thinks so in his heart!
Now that Curry and Thompson are gone, Green sees himself as the team's veteran and the team's leader.
At least based on his ranking and seniority, he is indeed qualified to order other players! Especially these young people who have just entered the league!
However, after Poole's words came out, Green realized that not everyone believed him!
Nowadays, a guy who just joined the league dares to reply to him like this. This is undoubtedly a challenge to his majesty!
"What did you say?"
"Say it again if you dare!"
Green approached Poole with a straight face, and stretched his hand towards Poole, as if intending to grab his collar.
The live footage captured this scene. When this picture appeared on the big electronic screen, fans throughout the Chase Center Arena couldn't help but scream.
"Draymond, what are you doing?"
When the head coach Steve Kerr saw this, he quickly shouted a reminder.
Green was also aware of the changes that had taken place off the court, and decisively lowered his outstretched hand, thus avoiding being whistled by the referee.
"You guy! Wait for me! I have plenty of time to settle accounts with you..."
Facing the threat, Poole still looked disapproving, "Whatever you want! I don't care at all! Who do you think you are? You're just a 31-year-old guy..."
This was the beginning of the conflict between Poole and Green.
Of course, the two of them can still maintain their sanity on the court for the time being, especially Green, who has always been a jerk. Although this guy has done a lot of stupid things, he is actually quite "cunning".
For example, when Durant was here, he bombarded Durant. In the final analysis, it was because of his own contract considerations. The reason why he tried every possible means to criticize Durant was to hope that Durant would leave as soon as possible.
The reason why he is unhappy with Poole now is because he feels that young people like Poole are threatening his status.
call out.
The third quarter ended quickly.
The last section is coming.
The Knicks still failed to recover the point difference, and the Warriors still led by 4 points.
Howard played too long today. At the end of the third quarter, he took the initiative to tell Coach Norman that he wanted to take a break. The helpless Coach Norman once again set his sights on Tristan.
After thinking for a long time, he finally sent this guy!
It's not that he wants to use Tristan, but that the current team lineup is facing a situation where there are not many people available! If you want to turn the game around, you can only let Tristan come on the stage and give it a try.
call out.
The game goes on.
The Warriors continued to attack, and Green was replaced to rest. Coach Cole directly gave the ball to Poole this time, and he held the ball across half court to look for opportunities for singles.
After reaching the top of the arc, Poole was not afraid of Dennis Smith Jr., who was approaching him. He first dribbled and shook, then signaled his teammates to pick and roll, and Poole took the opportunity to rush towards the basket.
Amid the chaos, Poole took a floater and threw the ball away.
Snapped.
The basketball bounced twice when it hit the rim, and on the third hit it still fell firmly into the rim.
I have to say that Poole's luck is much better than that of Zach and others!
