The older superstars of the NBA

Minneapolis.

In the evening, in a local hospital, Timberwolves players were gathering to visit the injured Zach LaVine and Kevin Martin.

As soon as they retired from injury, the two were sent to the hospital for examination.

Perhaps in order to let them have a companion, the two were specially arranged in the same ward.Because of this, the two watched the rest of the team's game after the inspection. They were also very happy about the Timberwolves' victory at the last moment.

However, after being happy, the problem came. The team was short of both of them. If their injuries were not optimistic, what would the team do next?

Both Lavin and Martin couldn't help feeling depressed.

They naturally hope to follow the team to the Western Conference championship. After all, for them, this game is very important.

It goes without saying that LaVine is a rookie. He is still the team's main guard. Even if he doesn't care about the championship, such a game experience is extremely helpful for his growth, not to mention that he can't care about the championship.

For a veteran like Martin, he has only played in the playoffs three times in his previous career, which is undoubtedly a failure.

Not to mention that there is some gap with the division champions, even a little achievement in the playoffs is relatively difficult.

Fortunately, the arrival of Zhao Feiyang last season changed everything. Martin entered the playoffs with the team twice in a row. This time he entered the Western Conference Finals as a main player. This is probably one of the few times in his career. many opportunities.

If he wants to win the championship, then this is probably the closest he has come.

For a veteran player, earning money is no longer the main issue, honor is.He is too old to play for a few seasons. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, maybe he may not have another chance in the future.

Martin certainly does not want such a regret to happen.

"Guys, I'll be fine... I'm just feeling a bit uncomfortable in my finger, I don't think it will affect the rest of the game for sure..."

While chatting with his teammates, Martin was extremely stubborn, even though his fingers were bandaged.

LaVine on the side was obviously more seriously injured than Martin. He was temporarily unable to move while lying on the ground, and his sprained ankle was also immobilized. It seemed that the situation was much more serious.

It was also at this time that the general manager of the team, Sam Mitchell, came in from the outside. After seeing a group of players waiting for news, he quickly called everyone together.

"Listen guys, I just went to check on Zach and Kevin..."

As soon as Manager Sam spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Feiyang even stood in front of him, motioning him to tell the result quickly.

"Kevin's problem is not serious. The doctor said that his fingers can be rested for more than a week. Zach's ankle problem is not serious, but he needs more rest time. I'm afraid it will take more than two weeks... ...."

Manager Sam's words complicated everyone's expressions.

Even the head coach Norman Thomas looked down with his head down.

Such news is not bad news, but it is not good news either.

The team will play in the Western Conference finals after a period of rest. At that time, both the Warriors and the Thunder will be very strong. If the team's main lineup cannot be guaranteed to be healthy, then the team may not be able to defeat the opponent.

Now Martin obviously needs a period of time to recover. Although it will not be long, according to the normal schedule, the two sides may have played one or two games at that time.

The same is true for LaVine.

There is a lot of rest time for more than two weeks. If there is no accident, he may even miss the next Western Conference Finals.

For the Timberwolves, this is undoubtedly worse.

In such a situation, the two main guards of the team were knocked down by injuries, which made the Timberwolves, which lacked depth in the original lineup, even weaker.

The expressions of the two are not relaxed.

It was still LaVine who was more cheerful, and took the initiative to break the solemn atmosphere in the ward, "Hey, guys, don't think too much, maybe you will enter the finals when I recover... When the time comes I won lying down..."

Martin on the side also echoed, "If that's the case, then we won't give you the bonus for the division finals. Who told you to be lazy..."

As soon as the two opened their mouths, everyone quickly laughed out loud.

In any case, the injury status of the two has been determined, and the only thing left for the Timberwolves to wait is the records of the other two teams.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the other two teams in the Western Conference finals reached the seventh game. After the two sides fought fiercely with a score of 3 to 3, the series finally came to an end.

Oracle Arena.

This is the home of the Warriors.

The Thunder played away.

In the seventh game between the two sides, the game has reached the final moment, and the two sides have less than 30 seconds left.

The situation on the court was almost one-sided. All the fans of the Warriors stood up and cheered. Even if the game was not over, they were already cheering for the upcoming victory.

The score was 86 to 96.

The Thunder were stretched to 10 points.

The ball was in their hands. Russell Westbrook held the ball across the half court and gave the ball to Kevin Durant after reaching the half court.

With the team falling behind like this, Durant has no other choice but to quickly pick up the basketball and choose to attack the opponent's basket.

It was Andre Iguodala who came up to mark him. The two met each other. Durant shook Iguodala and made a mid-range shot.

His singles are still so unsolvable. Iguodala's hands have blocked Durant's sight, but he still can't stop him from throwing the ball into the basket.

Swish.

The ball is in.

88:96.

19 seconds left.

Warriors serve.

With the score stretched to such a situation, the Warriors will certainly not take the risk to play again.Therefore, they deliberately delayed the time, continuously transferred the ball after the basketball was sent, and waited for the time to pass before halftime, and even got the ball and did not choose to attack after reaching the halftime side.

With such a move, everyone can see their intentions.

On the side of the Thunder, Durant also sighed deeply a few times. Instead of going up to snatch it, he exchanged a glance with Westbrook, and immediately shook hands with the Warriors players.

The move also drew applause from the outside.

Everyone knows that Durant is planning to give up!

In fact, there is no time left for them even without giving up!

On the Warriors side, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and other players took the initiative to shake hands with Durant and others.

No matter what the two sides look like on the court, they still have some respect off the court.

The two sides hug and high-five each other until the sound of the timer ending.

beep.

The game is officially over.

The Warriors defeated the Thunder in Game [-] and eventually advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
