Chapter 101 Bad news

On December 12, the Cavaliers went to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles away.

This is the second time the two teams have played against each other this season, and the Cavaliers won the last time.

The Eagles are ranked No.13 in the East, and indeed there are no star players in charge.

The Cavaliers continued their previous starting lineup in this game, and Limbo faced Jason Terry again.

Originally, the Cavaliers and the Eagles were teams of the same level, but the Cavaliers have defeated strong opponents in recent days, and the rankings have been going up.Brothers and sisters in the past, today is not what it used to be, and the Eagles also want to end the Cavaliers' four-game winning streak to justify themselves.

Of course, the Cavaliers want to continue their winning streak.

As a result, as soon as the game started, the Cavaliers were a different team from the previous game, and were beaten 6-0 by the Eagles at the beginning.

The Cavaliers didn't panic at all, and the coaching staff was still talking and laughing. They thought that with the iron triangle of Limbo, James and Boozer present, let alone the Eagles, even if the GDP came, they would not be afraid.

Maybe this is the difference between a real strong team and a pseudo-strong team. The Lakers, Spurs and other strong teams can still maintain a normal heart during the team's winning streak, neither proud of victory nor discouraged by defeat.The Cavaliers have only won four consecutive victories, and just because they defeated the Timberwolves, the Lakers, Pistons and other teams began to drift.

This is a mistake that young teams often make. Young people always want to be strong. After a few victories, they feel invincible.

However, Ling Bo, who has been around the rivers and lakes all year round, knows what is beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people, and it is the same in the NBA.He is someone who has watched the Spurs Finals and knows how strong the No. 21 in the silver and gray jersey is.

Seeing that his teammates missed several shots, Ling Bo had to break through the penalty area by himself and use Lingbo Weibu and Tanyunshou to score points.

In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, the game entered the official timeout, but the score on the court was 14 to 21, and the Cavaliers were 7 points behind. This is completely different from the Cavaliers who fought hard in the last game.

"Guys, what are you doing, haven't you woken up yet?" Ling Bo said angrily.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers were not active in running positions, and there were often loopholes in the defense, and so far in the first quarter, they made two more turnovers than the Hawks. Fortunately, the Hawks' shooting percentage is not high. In the first quarter, it will be opened up by double digits.

"We are behind, I hope everyone can be more active in the next game, ok?"

Ling Bo spoke more directly, and the meaning also directly stated that I am not targeting anyone, I am referring to everyone present.

James was the first to nod. In the first quarter, Limbo and James scored. Even Boozer only scored two points. Limbo scored 8 points and James 4 points.

Ling Bo had never been so angry in the team, and it was the first time for his teammates to see him, so they all lowered their heads and realized their mistakes.

In Lingbo's opinion, it doesn't matter if his teammates are not strong enough to beat the Lakers, Spurs and other teams, just try his best, but this negative attitude and smug expression made him unbearable.

After the timeout ended, the Cavaliers' condition gradually recovered, their running positions were active, and their defensive strength also increased. In the last 3 minutes, they responded to the Eagles with a wave of 7-2.

In the second quarter of the game, during the regular rotation time, the head coach asked Carlos Boozer, one of the Iron Triangle, to lead the bench.

Boozer gladly took the lead, and finally had room to play, and finally didn't have to compete with James for the ball. This was his Show time.

Boozer played very aggressively, very proactively, opening the game with a violent dunk, and then triumphantly showing his biceps to Sherif-Ahbouf-Rahim.

Around the 4th minute of the second quarter, Darius Miles missed a shot. Boozer and Eagles center Jason Koller scrambled for rebounds. When they landed, they twisted their feet, lost their balance and fell fell to the ground.

I thought it was okay, the Eagles got a rebound and pushed back, and the Cavaliers teammates also retreated.

But Boozer was half lying on the ground, with a painful expression, holding his right foot with both hands.

The Eagles succeeded in five-for-four in the frontcourt. Seeing this, Kevin Ollie immediately asked the referee for a timeout.

Boozer was carried by his teammates to the bench, his face was pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"what"

"Don't touch it, it hurts"

Boozer howled in pain, Ling Bo just touched it lightly, and Boozer grinned in pain.

With the help of his teammates, Limbo took off his combat boots, gathered his inner strength into his palms, and checked Boozer's injuries.

It is normal for a martial arts practitioner to know how to touch the meridians to set bones. Ling Bo gently stroked Boozer's ankle with the pad of his thumb, and concluded that it was a sign of a fracture.

When the team doctor came, Ling Bo stood aside and said, "It should be broken."

The team doctor tried to make Boozer lift his foot and gently touched his ankle, which made Boozer grin his teeth again, and the sweat on his forehead grew more and more.

The team doctor got a stretcher, carried Boozer away, made further examinations, and gave a prediction that he had a fracture and would not be able to play in the short term.

James and Ling Bo looked at each other, both of them understood that the game should be ended as soon as possible so as to observe Boozer's condition.

Ling Bo and James took the initiative to ask to play, and the head coach also agreed to the request of the two main players.

When James and Ling Bo reappeared, the style of the game changed suddenly. The Cavaliers, who had been fighting back and forth with the Eagles, suddenly came with a storm-like offensive, directly beating the Eagles to lose their temper.

It turns out that they were just playing with us in the first quarter. It turns out that the Cavaliers are really not on the same level as us.

Limbo and James continued to attack the basket, and the Cavaliers led 54 to 43 by 11 points at halftime.

As halftime approached, Osorsky told everyone that Carlos Boozer had suffered a slight fracture of his right ankle and severe ligament damage.After a preliminary diagnosis, Boozer will therefore have a truce for 2 to 3 months.

Once the fracture is deep like the sea, it will be cast for three months from then on. This sentence is absolutely true, it will hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days.

This means that the Iron Triangle of Knights will be incomplete for two to three months, lacking a corner, can it still be called the Iron Triangle?

Injuries are unavoidable in the NBA. How many players lose to injuries? Not everyone can be as perverted as Wade. Before entering the league, he gave up a meniscus and can still rank firmly in the rookie list. top five.

Poor Boozer, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to nightclubs for two or three months, and he won't be able to play games. His salary will not be reduced by one point. It doesn't matter to him, but he can't go to nightclubs. .

In the second half of the game, Ling Bo and James fired again and again, directly opening the point difference to [-] points.

The game entered garbage time in the fourth quarter, and the two sides started the rookie mutual pecking mode. Perhaps only at this moment, the Eagles felt that the fishy Cavaliers had returned.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Eagles 96 to 85. After the game, Limbo and others went to visit Boozer immediately.
