<P>SAN ANTONIO -- While <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3167">Bruce Bowen</A>'s aggressive defensive style remains under the league's microscope, the <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=sas">San Antonio Spurs</A> guard will not be suspended for Monday night's Game 4 against the Suns.</P>

<P></P>
<P>Bowen's knee to <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3103">Steve Nash</A>'s groin in Game 3, originally whistled during the game as a personal foul, has been upgraded by the league to a Flagrant Foul 1, a league spokesman said. But that decision results in neither a fine nor a suspension for Bowen, who said at the Spurs' Monday morning shootaround that he has apologized to Nash.</P>
<P>"The reaction of the bench, it's easy to say, 'Oh, that was calculated on his behalf because of who it is.' But I have too much respect for Steve, two-time MVP, a great player, I have respect for him and I wouldn't do anything like that," Bowen said. "It's just part of the game, I think, that you have to be man enough at times, when you do something and it's not the right thing that you've done, you have to be man enough to say, 'Hey, I'm sorry for that.' That's all it was, in the spirit of competition."</P>
<P>The Spurs lead the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series 2-1.</P>
<P>Meanwhile, in the Warriors-Jazz Western semifinal, <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3326">Baron Davis</A>' elbow on <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3125">Derek Fisher</A> is under review but <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3515">Jason Richardson</A>'s foul on <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3547">Mehmet Okur</A> is not being looked at for further punishment. Richardson's foul will remain classified a Flagrant Foul 2.</P>
<P>Players get points that can lead to suspensions for flagrant fouls. Bowen's is one point on his record, Richardson's is two points.</P>
<P>Bowen continues to be widely watched. The league decided to conduct a full investigation into Saturday's incident after declining to do so when Bowen was accused of intentionally kicking <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3607">Amare Stoudemire</A> in Game 2.</P>
<P>Stoudemire called Bowen and <A href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3380">Manu Ginobili</A> "dirty" players after the Game 2 tangle, in which Bowen admitted he "did clip" Stoudemire from behind on a dunk, but Nash has consistently refused to voice any public displeasure with Bowen's physical play, which the Suns believe was a factor in Nash's 0-for-9 shooting in the first half in Game 3.</P>
<P>On the play in question, Bowen pivoted in an attempt to clear space in the first minute of the second half and landed his knee between Nash's legs. Bowen insisted later that he apologized to Nash immediately.</P>
<P>Bowen told the San Antonio Express-News: "I said to him, 'Now, Steve, you know I didn't try to knee you there,' and he said, 'Yeah, absolutely, Bruce,' and we gave each other five."</P>
<P>In explaining what happened, Bowen said: "He was crowding me, and in this game you're taught to get people off of you. If someone is taking up your space, you have nothing to do. But with all the stuff that is going on with [me], I'm sure that will end up on YouTube."</P>
<P>How the Suns respond from a physicality standpoint to their 108-101 defeat in Game 3 has become the major story line of the series for the two active playoff teams with the best regular-season records.</P>

위험한 행동을 다시 하지 않는다면 나오는 것 자체는 찬성입니다. 사실 수비 열심히 하는 선수는 좋아하기 때문에.. 본인이 생각이 있다면 또다시 의심받을 만한 행동은 하지 않겠죠. 은퇴해버려라 나가버려라 이랬지만 이번 일을 계기로 매너있는 플레이를 하는 수비 스페셜리스트가 됐으면 좋겠네요..
그렇죠 옳은 결정입니다. 농구가 너무 심심하잖아요. 보웬같은 플레이어가 많아야 리그가 재밌어지죠... 병원들도 돈도 벌고 연애보다 좋다는 쌈구경할 기회도 많이 생기고 아주 바람직한 리그의 모습입니다. 참 멍청하게 다른팀들은 왜 보웬같은 훌륭한 선수를 못 키우는지 몰라요... 그죠..?^^
첫댓글 흠냥~
흠.., 앞으로도 희생이 계속되겠군요...
정작 원하는건 사타구니 친게 아니라 그의 다리(발) 문제인데... 사무국에서는 정말 아무런 생각이 없는가 보네요... 보웬 정말 은퇴할때까지 계속 그짓하다 갈듯;;;
기, 길군... 조, 좋은 말이다....
정말 한구절 한글귀 한마디가 가슴에 와닿는 글이죠? ㅎㅎ
앞으로 더 걱정이네요 정말, 이제까지의 플레이가 문제 없었다고 공언해버렸으니,,,,,,
옐로우카드 정도로 생각하면 될듯..... 한번 더 이런 일 벌어진다면 징계주어지겠죠~
전 보웬 저 사진만 봐도 짜증난다는...
흠~~이제 블랙리스트에라도 오르긴한건가요 ???
보웬 열심히 뛰어서 좋음

힘을 실어주었으니, 더욱 더 노골적으로 나올지도 모르겠습니다. 샌안과 맞서는 선수들은 한수접고 들어가야겠네요. 덤비면 그야말로 선수인생 종치는 사태가 올 수 있으니...
음...보웬의 플레이가 사무국에선 전혀 티도 안나는 정당한 수비였나요.??ㅡㅡ;;항상 징계를 받지 않는 보웬을 보면...그런플레이를 계속하라는건지..참 안타깝네요...
