Chapter 121 Kobe Bryant's Injured King Returns

The crazy performance in the first quarter made Li Tian recognized by all the players of the Lakers.

Li Tian's sudden emergence broke the Nets' original defensive strategy. During the intermission, Frank had to rearrange his defensive tactics.

"Nahba Next, you have to defend the Asian striker closely, and don't let him get any open shots from beyond the three-point line; Allen, White, you two should be ready to defend the Asian striker at any time, understand Is it?" Frank rearranged the defense, which can also be said to be a targeted defense against Li Tian.

Frank took a look at the performance of the team's bench, and there was no possibility of improvement on the offensive end. These are leftovers from other teams, and being able to tie with the Lakers' bench is already a high profile.

Seeing the changes in the Nets lineup, Phil arranged for Li Tianduo and Kobe to play together at the same time in order to increase the tacit understanding.

The Lakers entered the second quarter with an 8-point lead, and the score came to 34:26.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe defended Kidd, and Kidd cooperated with his teammates through the pick-and-roll, hoping to get an easy shot.

Kobe chased behind him, unwilling to give his opponent even an easy shot.

This time chasing and defending, he put his little finger on Kidd's arm in no hurry, and then tightly held his finger.

When Phil saw this, he was also extremely nervous. The team had just ushered in new players. If the team leader suffered an injury at this time, then this year's Lakers, not to mention the finals, even the first round of the playoffs would be very difficult.

Quickly called a timeout.

In the playback center, the screen of the defense just now was played back non-stop, and the whole process of the injury can be seen.

The replays again and again affect the hearts of all fans.

Director Zhang's voice became extremely depressing, "I just got strong support. With Paul and Li Tian joining, the Lakers will definitely become a favorable contender for the championship. I pray that Kobe's injury will not have a big impact on him, and he has already accepted it." treat."

The hearts of the fans were touched, bursts of heartache.

Yu Jia was also worried and said, "I hope every player can stay away from injuries. This is the season closest to the championship since O'Neal left. This season cannot be stopped abruptly because of injuries."

Fans began to pray for Kobe, hoping that this injury would not have too much impact on him.

The forum exploded in an instant, and fans expressed their opinions one after another.

Individual extreme fans began to abuse Kidd in the forum.

"It's all the damn Kidd's fault, why did he have to do that pick-and-roll."

"It's still Boss Ke who is too dedicated, so what can I do if I give Kidd a chance to make an easy shot?"

Comey, who knows the ball, was praying for it and didn't blame Kidd too much.

"I hope Boss Ke's injury will not be too serious and he will return to the game as soon as possible."

"I am willing to use my hands to exchange the health of the boss' fingers."

"Praying for you, hope you're okay and may you stay injury-free for the rest of your career."

"Boss Ke, hold on, for the championship."

Neutral fans are also praying for Kobe.

"Hey, the injury is really terrible. When will Kobe win his fourth championship?"

"May injuries be far from athletes."

The happiest are the fans of the Green Army. They lost another competitor on the way to the championship.

"Although I am also worried about Kobe's injury, but at this time I just want to shout 'Celtics championship'."

"The Celtics championship is only a matter of time."

"The Celtics championship, no team can resist."

This injury touched the hearts of countless people.

The situation took a turn for the worse. In the few minutes when Kobe was off the court for treatment, all the players were a little at a loss, and their offenses were frustrated. They never experienced a game without Kobe. High morale.

All players are worried about Kobe's injury and don't know what kind of impact this injury will have on the team.

Phil saw that the players lost themselves in playing, and the Nets continued to close the score.

Called a timeout.

"What are you thinking? Kobe is injured, and you should play hard. If he sees your performance like this, it is unknown whether you will be able to stay with the Lakers next season." Phil scolded angrily.

Awakened by Phil's heavy hammer, all the players came back to their senses, feeling like they were resurrected with full blood.

After the timeout, Odom, Fisher, and Li Tian scored consecutively, stabilizing the unfavorable situation, and the team widened the point difference to double digits.

A few minutes later, Kobe asked trainer Gary Vitti to wrap his right pinky and ring fingers with tape, which would minimize the pain and ensure a better shooting feel.

With pain, I returned to the game again.

"What you need is to rest, not to continue to fight with injuries. This will make your finger injuries worse. If it is serious, it may affect your entire career." Phil warned Kobe and refused to allow him to continue playing games.

Kobe also rejected Phil's warning, "I understand your concern for me, and you should also understand my desire for a championship."

With just one sentence, Phil has no reason to refuse. He can only consider that other players on the team can stand up and help the team get more points, which can help the recovery from injuries.

Re-appearing, Gasol stepped forward and said with concern, "Don't force it, we can lose this game, but if your injury worsens, then we will lose the entire season."

The purpose of Gasol coming to the Lakers is to win the championship. In the first game, Kobe was injured, which made him a little confused, but his reason told him that Kobe should not be allowed to act recklessly, because they are not old enough and only have one last season left. , They still have time and opportunities in the future.

"Paul, I understand, but I can't shrink back. I will protect my fingers. Don't worry, I will build a dynasty with you." The words are short, but they inspire every Lakers player.

After taking the stage again, he did not touch the ball too much, and other players also deliberately avoided letting him dribble, either attacking with the ball himself, or passing the ball to get an easy shot. During this time, it was more as an endpoint.

But even so, the impact of the finger injury also had a considerable impact on him.

The other players are all as brave as a tiger, and the defensive end is full of [-]-point spirit. It is very difficult for the Nets to make every shot.

The teammates worked so hard to attack and defend in the hope that Kobe could get off the court to rest earlier. What they were more worried about was how serious Kobe's injury was.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers established a 15-point lead.

When we came to the locker room of the visiting team, everyone gathered around and eagerly asked about the injury, how it is now, and how much the pain will affect the state
At this moment, the team's desire for the championship has been raised to another level.

Kobe's answer was "No problem, don't worry, don't forget, we have only one goal this season."

"The Lakers championship." Everyone kept shouting this sentence, and the sound filled the visiting team's locker room.

After the injury, he just treated it with a bandage, and then returned to the field again, and he was able to lead the team to expand the point difference. It can be said that the king is back.

Li Tian also lamented that "the heart of a championship should not be underestimated, and he secretly made up his mind that in the future games, he must not easily underestimate any team, no matter whether the team is in a trough or in full swing." '

After Kobe returned from injury, the players also felt relieved.

But Li Tian knew that Kobe was injured and insisted on finishing the finals, and participated in the Olympics. He didn't choose to have surgery to rest and recuperate until he won the championship next season.

Bryant's injury affected Phil's formation.

The Lakers entered the second half with a huge lead of 55-40.

Phil made a change. Gasol did not perform very well in the first two quarters and lost himself a bit.I just wanted to arrange for Gasol to play with Li Tian on the inside and see how it works.

"Paul, you and Lee are on the court together, and you can play more together at the basket." Phil didn't care about Gasol's low shooting percentage. After all, he changed teams, so it's normal to have an impact.

I understand what Phil means, and I am happy to help my good friends get back to their status.

"Paul, what's going on with you today? Your shooting percentage is a bit low." Both of them just came to the Lakers, so they must take care of each other, and they want to help Gasol improve his shooting percentage.

"I'm fine, just came to the Lakers some uncomfortable, don't worry." Gasol responded.

Except for Gasol, the two teams are all substitute players on the field.

"How does it feel to play?" Phil asked Kobe, who was sitting next to him, whether the injury affected his heart.

After more than one quarter of the game, he didn't sweat much, and his possession of the ball decreased after the injury. The first quarter was mainly Gasol's offense; the second quarter was all about attracting defense, and Li Tian shouldered the burden of scoring.

"It's so comfortable, without sweating, the team has already led by 15 points." Kobe said with emotion, he can finally sit on the sidelines and enjoy the game with peace of mind, and will not continue to play before his butt is hot as before .Although the fingers are still sore, but seeing the new aid is so strong, I feel good.

Hearing such an answer, Phil nodded immediately and continued to focus on the field.

The two played one inside and one outside, which disrupted Frank's defensive arrangement during the quarter again.

Krstic alone at the basket couldn't prevent Gasol's footsteps at the basket. Allen had to give up his defender and double-team Gasol.

Seeing that Allen, who came to help defend himself in the first round, went to the basket to double-team Gasol.

"Haha, his speed is too fast, he directly cuts to the basket, and with one acceleration, he throws off Naheba who is defending him. The tacit understanding with Gasol is too good, one passes the ball without looking at others, Li Tiantian cuts Score a layup." Seeing the tacit cooperation between the two, Yu Jia not only made him masquerade, but if Yao Ming and Li Tian fought like this, wouldn't it be more powerful?

Director Zhang nodded and said, "The tacit understanding between the two of them is really high. With such a cooperation, the Nets really can't defend."

Looking back, Allen hit a jumper through the pick-and-roll to help the Nets score two points.

The Lakers still maintain a lead of more than 10 points.

Frank was anxious like a donkey pulling a mill on the sidelines, circling back and forth continuously, but there was nothing he could do. Carter and Kidd almost played the first two quarters. Give up this game.

On the other side, Phil was most worried about Kobe's injury. There was nothing on the court that could attract him, and he closed his eyes and thought about how to deal with this sudden injury.

Although the assist ability is average, he still insists on helping Gasol play the ball, cover the basket, pass the ball after getting the offensive rebound, and pass inside the basket.

On the field at this time, he seemed to be an enlarged version of the "Magician". The only thing that didn't go well was that the ball he passed was a bit hot-eyed, making it impossible to look directly at him.
