"Whoosh!"
The referee's whistle came late, but it did.
Such an obvious malicious foul, pulling someone down from mid-air, the referee couldn't possibly ignore it.
Curry and Li Xingchen, along with other teammates, rushed to the frontcourt to check on Anderson's condition.
Everyone wanted to pull him up from the ground, but seeing his pained expression as he clutched his elbow, they dared not make any rash moves.
Draymond Green charged straight at Beverley, yelling at him, "You bastard, what have you done?!"
Beverley, feeling guilty, didn't dare to argue with Draymond Green and instead chose to avoid the confrontation by staying to the side.
Bazemore quickly pulled Greene back to prevent him from getting carried away.
If he can't resist and starts hitting again, he could potentially get two technical fouls and be ejected from the game.
It would be too awkward if the player who committed the malicious foul remained on the field while their own player was ejected first.
Therefore, after the ball was stopped, there was no further major argument between the two sides. The biggest problem was still Anderson, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain.
The team doctor entered the field and began to check on Anderson's condition.
The referee then walked to the scorer's table to review the round.
Beverley committed a clear flagrant foul, but they still need to review the replay to confirm whether the foul needs to be upgraded, and to what extent.
They will make a decision within two minutes. This is considered an official timeout and does not count towards any team's timeout count.
In Tencent's live stream room.
The comments section was already filled with righteous indignation and outrage.
"Holy crap, is this guy here to wrestle?"
"My god, that looks painful. They just yanked him down from mid-air. Is Beverley from WWE? What's he doing in the NBA?"
"That mad dog has always been this dirty. I still remember the first round of the playoffs eight years ago, when the ball was already dead."
Then, the mad dog sprinted towards the ball in Westbrook's hands, colliding directly with the side of Westbrook's right knee. This impact resulted in a torn meniscus in Westbrook's right knee, ending his season.
"And in the first round of last year's playoffs, this jerk deliberately lifted his leg while going for a layup, hitting LeBron's groin and giving him a groin injury."
"Why isn't this kind of trash player just suspended?"
"He's always been like this. He did it quite a bit during the regular season too. I remember once he elbowed Finney-Smith out of a tooth. He's truly a scion of the Hawks."
At the scene, the referee was still watching the replay of this round to decide whether to escalate the penalty, and the replay was also being played simultaneously in the live broadcast room.
Not only were the fans outraged, but commentators Yang Yi and Duan Ran, as well as special guest Wang Shipeng, also condemned Beverley's dirty play.
Duan shook his head again: "Tsk, this move is—completely beyond the scope of normal defensive action. Let's see how the referee upgrades it. In my opinion, it should be a flagrant foul 2, and he should be ejected from the game."
Yang Yi also expressed his dissatisfaction with Beverley: "This isn't playing basketball, it's clearly wrestling with a ball."
Beverley's dirty tricks are so numerous they could be compiled into a highlight reel. He's so sly!
Wang Shipeng chimed in, "Anderson is one of the Warriors' key rotation players. It looks like he probably won't be back for this game, and who knows how much it will affect him later. If the Clippers rely on this kind of tactic, even if they win the game, they'll never earn everyone's respect!"
The scene of the game.
Anderson has been carefully helped up, and the team doctor is examining him and asking how he is feeling.
Curry and Li Xingchen both glared coldly at Beverley, while Draymond Green, standing not far away, angrily berated him: "If you weren't about to be ejected, I would have smashed your head in this game!"
Seeing Draymond Green's expression, as if he wanted to devour Beverley alive, Li Xingchen suddenly understood why everyone said that although Draymond Green was a despicable person, he was an indispensable figure for every team.
If a team doesn't have a "tough guy" like him to keep things in check, they'll often get bullied by others!
Moments later, several referees made their final ruling on the foul based on the replay, which was then announced by the head referee, Scott Foster.
Upon hearing the verdict, everyone on the Warriors team's faces changed.
Flagrant foul #1!
It was only a flagrant foul 1!
Beverley didn't even need to be ejected!
Head coach Cole almost rushed up to punch Foster again, but fortunately, his assistant coach caught him in time.
Li Xingchen looked stunned, while Curry's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly.
The team doctor has just given a preliminary assessment: Anderson has most likely injured a bone, and his season is basically over.
A single pull resulted in a broken bone, ending the season for the opponent. Doesn't such a malicious foul even warrant an ejection?
Almost everyone on the Warriors team had fire in their eyes.
Anderson has already returned to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.
According to league rules, a Flagrant Foul 1 will result in two free throws and possession for the Warriors.
Because Anderson was injured and forced to leave the game due to a flagrant foul, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has the right to designate any player on the court to take Anderson's free throws.
That can only be Curry.
Curry made both free throws, bringing the Warriors within two points from 25-28 to 27-28.
The Warriors brought Wiggins back in place of Anderson, and Green inbounded the ball to Curry from the sideline.
The Clippers continued to have Beverley guard Curry closely.
It's unacceptable that a player who committed a malicious foul that injured another player and left the game just two minutes ago can still continue his defensive antics on the court without any restraint.
The Warriors' offense was still initiated by Curry, but this time he waved his hand, rejecting all pick-and-rolls.
He's going to go one-on-one against Beverley!
Li Xingchen could see that, as the team's leader, Curry wanted to use his own way to speak out against Anderson's tragic experience, which could also be considered a form of revenge!
Everyone spread out to the maximum, creating the perfect one-on-one environment for Curry.
Curry seemed to unleash unprecedented speed and power. He used his ball-handling hand to directly knock Beverley's arms aside, and then started his breakthrough from the right side at unimaginable speed. During the process, he also used a change of direction to dodge Kawhi Leonard's help defense. His whole body was as agile as a butterfly flitting through flowers.
Upon reaching the basket, Beverley, who had already been passed cleanly, still tried to interfere. Seeing this, Curry simply leaned against him and then changed his layup into a floater.
With a "swish," the sound of the basketball going through the net rang out simultaneously with the referee's whistle!
It seems the referee felt somewhat guilty about the call earlier, as the whistle no longer favored the Clippers, and at least he didn't ignore the foul.
After scoring a three-point play, Curry raised his arms in celebration, venting his frustration.
He wasn't particularly tall on the field, but his willingness to stand up for his teammates in this way was undeniably convincing.
Curry stepped to the free-throw line and calmly took the extra shot.
Looking at his retreating figure, Li Xingchen's eyes burned with passion.
He is also part of this team, and Anderson is his teammate.
On the field, Anderson is always full of energy and the most aggressive player when it comes to tackling.
Li Xingchen couldn't possibly remain indifferent when his teammates were being bullied.
He decided that he and Curry would take turns one-on-one against Beverley to get revenge for Anderson!
An extra chapter will be added at 8, 9, or 10 PM.
