Chapter 127 I promise to bring you back!
The 41-year-old veteran was struggling on the floor with a face of pain. Karl Malone was seriously injured, but the grimness on his face was not only from the pain in his leg, but more from his inner unwillingness.

"Damn it, damn it!" Karl Malone hugged his legs and cursed, not at Rasheed Wallace who just competed with him for a rebound. Rasheed's movement was fine, he was complaining about fate, Why let him get hurt at this time?
Karl Malone is very clear that his current injury will not be able to play in the short term, which means that throughout the finals, the Lakers will lose Karl Malone, and the Lakers may lose the championship. Today's game may also be Karl Malone's entire career. The last game of his career.

The great "postman", the No.2 figure in the historical scoring list, did his career end in this way?
The Pistons fans at the scene were even a little moved, covering their mouths and not speaking. Maybe Karl Malone's injury is a good thing for the Pistons, but facing such a great star, it is difficult for them to gloat at this moment.

Sun Zhuo looked at Karl Malone, and felt sore in his heart. He thought of the last game of Mutombo's career. In 2009, any injury of the 43-year-old Mutombo might end his career. Career, and then, that day really came, and Mutombo fell to the ground and wept, just like Karl Malone at this time. They all knew that this was not just an injury, but also meant that they would leave the NBA game forever .

"Is my NBA career coming to an end here? For 19 seasons... I... want to play two more games until I win the championship!" Karl Malone was a tough guy all his life, and he didn't want to show his He is fragile, but people who know him well enough, O'Neill, Kobe, Gary Payton, can hear the choking in his heart.

Sun Zhuo stepped forward, bent down, supported Karl Malone's shoulders, and said: "Karl, don't worry, you will return to the game soon, your career will never end like this, I want You retired with a championship ring! I promise you!"

Originally, Sun Zhuo was still hesitating whether to use the repeated challenge card in this game, but now, there is no need to hesitate, he must use the repeated challenge card in this game, and then prevent the tragedy of Karl Malone's injury from happening!

In his previous life, Karl Malone was injured in the Finals. Malone’s injury was also one of the reasons why the Lakers lost to the Pistons. Although Malone was a little bit powerless against Rasheed Wallace, after all, he has strength and experience. threaten.

Once Malone is injured, the Lakers are really hard-pressed to find anyone at the power forward position. They can only use Medvedenko, who is [-] meters tall but has the name of "Ukrainian softie" to defend Rashid. Wallace, Rasheed Wallace is so fierce and strong. Medveden Coben was not good at defense and physical confrontation, so he was suppressed by Rasheed and had no power to fight back. Because he was repeatedly bullied by Rasheed, May At one point, Dvydenko was so angry that he pushed and almost got into a fight with Rashid.

Due to the absolute advantage of the power forward position, Rasheed Wallace can better deal with O'Neal with Ben Wallace, and it is more difficult for O'Neal to score. Similarly, Rasheed Wallace can also be pulled to the outside , and perimeter players to stop Kobe.

Although Billups was the Finals MVP in his previous life, in Phil Jackson's heart, it was Rasheed Wallace who really defeated them.

In the first row of auditorium on the sidelines, there was a person showing a mysterious and cold smile. He was the hero of the Pistons sweeping the Lakers in 1989, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas. Is it a peak matchup? The Lakers have their main players injured twice, and they have no power to fight back against the Pistons."

From the words, it is not difficult to see that his confidence in the Pistons' championship and Malone's injury are definitely a bad thing for the Lakers.

In fact, Sun Zhuo has long reminded Karl Malone to be careful of injuries on the court. He reminded him when he played against the Rockets, but the basketball court is changing rapidly, no matter how careful he is, accidents cannot be avoided.

Fortunately, Sun Zhuo has the ability to restart the game.

Karl Malone was very moved when he heard Sun Zhuo’s words. He felt that Sun Zhuo’s words that Malone would return to the court soon were just words of comfort. He knew the severity of his injuries best. Karl Malone held Sun Zhuo’s hand, Said: "Promise me, win the championship with Shaq and Kobe!"

Sun Zhuo nodded and said, "I assure you!"

In the previous life, Karl Malone had no crown in his life!
In this life, Sun Zhuo wants to make up for his regret!

After Karl Malone left the field, the Pistons became excited. They wanted to take this opportunity to defeat the Lakers in one go.

And Bryant also continued his crazy attack in the second quarter, but his shooting percentage was not as amazing as in the first quarter, and several attacks ended in failure.

Sun Zhuo wrote down the reasons for Kobe's failure in each attack, and if he tried again later, Sun Zhuo would save several of the goals.

At the end of the half, the Pistons had already tied the score. It is foreseeable that with Kobe and Sun Zhuo no longer miraculous, with Karl Malone's injury, and with O'Neal making it more difficult to score at the basket, the game will enter the second half. Piston control.

The Pistons are very confident about this. Everyone in the Pistons locker room during the half-time break is not as nervous as before. Although Sun Zhuo was not fooled, he did not lead the game like he did in the previous game. Kobe also gradually returned to mediocrity. O'Neal It is even more restricted. The most important thing is that Karl Malone is injured, and Rasheed Wallace can better support the team to fight opponents.

"I think this will be a turning point in this series." Ben Wallace said to everyone, everyone understood what he meant, and the Pistons were getting closer and closer to the championship.

The most critical quarter of this game happened in the third quarter, and it was the collapse in this quarter that caused the Lakers to lose the game. However, the Pistons did not suppress the Lakers as soon as they entered the third quarter. On the contrary, just now The Pistons played poorly going into the third quarter.

Or it can’t be said that they played badly, but it was bad luck. Ben Wallace got rid of O’Neal’s defense, dunked an empty basket, and actually dunked it; Prince broke through Kobe, dribbled the ball, and suddenly fell down with a bang. The most interesting thing is that when Hamilton and Sun Zhuo competed for a throw-in that was about to go out of bounds, Hamilton jumped up to pass the ball and hit the referee directly.

After being called to the bench by Larry Brown for a while, the Pistons players slowly recovered their form, and they were out of control, directly establishing a lead of more than [-] points in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, with more than 3 minutes left at the end, the Lakers were still behind by double digits, and there was no hope of a comeback. O'Neal faced the misplaced Prince in front of him at a position far away from the basket, and made a move. Remembering a small hook, the ball flew over Prince's head and flew towards the basket. However, when the ball had already fallen, Ben Wallace under the basket soared into the sky and slapped the ball hard.

Everyone knows that this ball is not counted, but the audience applauded thunderously!

Sun Zhuo called this action "ball interference provocation". After a few years, this will become one of Sun Zhuo's most characteristic pretentious actions.
