Chapter 262 The season is over!

Popovich made himself no retreat, he forced himself to complete this huge challenge, which is not a good thing for Sun Zhuo and Kobe, because they are the reason why the Lakers win, in the next series Here, Popovich will definitely focus on taking care of the two.

After the start of the third game, Sun Zhuo was targeted first. The Spurs would never let Sun Zhuo lead the rhythm again, and then let Kobe take over. But facing the Spurs who are so calm and calm and don't make a single mistake, Kobe can't let the team lead.

The Spurs are so stable today, they have no turnovers, no risky passes, every attack is very reasonable, and the success rate is very high. It was when Sun Zhuo and Kobe had the ball, and everyone defended them as hard as they could.

"We can't lose Coach Popovich. Why did Sun and Kobe have such a big impact on our Spurs?" Tony Parker performed extremely well today. He always believed that the Spurs had lost two games in a row and he had a lot of responsibility. Hearing After coach Popovich said that he resigned after losing the series, he felt very sad, and even went to Popovich to apologize immediately.

Parker caused a lot of trouble to the Lakers. No one in the Lakers could restrain him. Under his leadership, Ginobili and Duncan have also become more terrifying weapons, constantly bombing the Lakers. This game also seems to let go of the idea of ​​revenge for Nocioni, he no longer has so many personal heroic attacks like the first game.

Sun Zhuo and Kobe still kept scoring. The Spurs' defenders, especially Tim Duncan, were under a lot of pressure. He was the most physically exhausted, because he was the most important player on the offensive side and he was the most important player on the defensive side.

In the end, in the third game, the Spurs beat the Lakers and finally regained some face.

At the same time, the fourth game between the Rockets and the Mavericks is also going on today.

The Rockets really want to get the match point in today's game. If the Mavericks win this game again, then everything will be back to the starting point. What's the point of the joy of the previous few days after winning two games?

McGrady was much more serious in this game than the previous one, but he still felt that the team was still leading by a big score, so there was no need to fight too hard. In the end, the Rockets lost to the Mavericks again, and the series was evened by the Mavericks with a total score of 2:2. .

After losing this game, McGrady began to think seriously about Sun Zhuo's advice to them for the first time.

That night, McGrady fell asleep very early, but he woke up after a short sleep. He had a dream. He dreamed that the series between the Rockets and the Mavericks was over, and the final loser was not the Mavericks, but the Rockets. He dreamed that when he was at a media conference, he shed tears.

It was already 1:0 in the morning, McGrady got out of bed and poured a glass of water and drank it all. With the empty water glass in his hand, he began to be dazed, thinking to himself: "What a waste of two home court advantages, if I had If I can accept Sun’s suggestion, I don’t have an advantage in the score psychologically, but regard the score as 0:[-] or even behind or even treat the game as the last game, then at least I can get the match point now. Once I get the match point, this The series is coming to an end. Now we have to start again. I can’t let the Mavericks really come back, otherwise when I face Sun in the future, he will laugh at me every time. I want to win, this series must be won! "

……

Another day later, the game between the Rockets Mavericks and the Spurs Lakers was staged on the same day again. The games between the two teams were also surprisingly consistent. The weaker team first took a 2-0 lead in the away game, and then was slowly chased by the opponent. return.

The Rockets Mavericks took the lead. In the previous life, the Rockets and the Mavericks won the fifth game. The Mavericks narrowly won by 3 points, but today, the situation is different.

Both Yao Ming and McGrady have a much higher risk awareness than in previous lives, and McGrady is a person who cares about face very much. Sun Zhuo questioned that the Rockets would not win in front of the media. As the leader of the Rockets, he cannot let everyone laugh.

In this game, Tracy McGrady showed another killing mode, and Yao Ming played very well. The two worked together to defend the Mavericks' offense at the critical moment, and finally narrowly defeated the Mavericks by one point!

3: 2!

It was the match point that the Rockets got first!

What Sun Zhuo has done has caused changes in the Rockets Mavericks series. Next, the Rockets are likely to advance directly. This is what Sun Zhuo and thousands of Rockets fans want to see.

However, Sun Zhuo didn't know this at the moment, because the game between the Spurs and the Lakers was still going on, and it was very intense, never before.

The Spurs' defense against Sun Zhuo and Kobe is still so tight, and they don't make them comfortable from the moment they catch the ball. Bruce Bowen will take turns marking Sun Zhuo and Kobe. He runs away with six fouls in every game. All kinds of insidious actions emerged one after another, causing Sun Zhuo and Kobe to stage countless swearing conflicts against Bowen and the referee.

In the case of such a strong physical confrontation, Sun Zhuo had to often use the Eurostep to charge or draw fouls, because in this case, Sun Zhuo's physical confrontation would be strengthened, and he was not afraid of having physical contact with anyone.

Moreover, Duncan has always been the core point of the Spurs. Sun Zhuo found that Duncan's physical fitness was consumed in this series. , Sun Zhuo rammed into Duncan with the Eurostep again and again, causing him more pressure and physical exertion.

The series has only played the fourth game, and Duncan already feels that this is the most aggressive and physically exhausting series he has encountered in his career.

"Sun and Kobe are crazy, can they score like this every game? Can they go to the basket like this every game?" Duncan was panting, he stood under the basket, every time he saw Sun Zhuo and Kobe go to the basket When going down, the body will be extremely tense, because Sun Zhuo and Kobe's bounce and confrontation are too strong, every time he has to use his greatest strength to take off and block the block and confront.

The consumption of defense alone is already unbearable for Duncan, but he has to take on the most important offensive task of the Spurs, because the Lakers can't guard him inside, and he is an advantage.

The atmosphere of the game was suffocating. O'Neal, who had no game today, was also watching the game. The Spurs were his old opponents. Even he couldn't help feeling: "I have never seen the Lakers and the Spurs fight so fiercely. The Spurs The team fought so hard because their coach said something very serious, the Lakers can only rely on Sun and Kobe, they are also fighting hard, but without me, they are playing too hard."

The Spurs lead the score, Sun Zhuo and Kobe both know that once the two home games can win a game, this series has a great chance of winning, so they worked hard, every rebound, every possible save out of bounds The ball is always up for grabs.

At this moment, the Lakers attacked, Kobe missed a shot, Duncan and Odom competed for a rebound, Sun Zhuo also rushed over the first time, but the ball did not fall in his direction, and finally, Odom grabbed the rebound in the air This ball, but he made a foul move in the air and pushed Duncan down. Now Duncan was physically exhausted and fell directly in the direction of Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo's body was also falling. He tried his best to avoid Duncan's huge body However, when he fell, Duncan still fell on Sun Zhuo's feet.

"what."

"ouch."

Both Sun Zhuo and Duncan let out a cry of pain.

Duncan seems to have injured his back, while Sun Zhuo has injured his foot.

"Oh my god, it was a thrilling match. How did they play so fiercely? Everyone was desperate!"

"They deserve a lot of respect and hopefully they're both going to be okay."

The arena scene became extremely quiet, and everyone fell silent. Both Duncan and Sun Zhuo were quickly sent to the locker room. Now no one knows how their injuries are. It seems that Sun Zhuo’s injury is more serious. Maybe, Sun Zhuo Zhuo will not play in the next series, maybe both Sun Zhuo and Duncan will be absent.

Kobe, Ginobili and others also became very flustered, and what they lost was the most trustworthy partner.

The Lakers have completely become a team with only Kobe as a threat, which is simply too easy for Popovich to target.

Soon, the Spurs easily won the game, and the big score became a 2:2 tie.

After the game, everyone didn't pay much attention to the score, but more concerned about the injuries of Duncan and Sun Zhuo.

Afterwards, after inspection, it was found that Duncan was only physically exhausted. The fall did not cause serious injuries. He is expected to recover in a few days, and he may come back in the next game.

Things aren't so rosy for Sun-joo, however.

The Lakers locker room, the luxurious locker room was silent, everyone lowered their heads and did not speak.

Sun Zhuo suffered a tibial contusion and possibly a sprained collateral ligament on the medial side of the knee. The specific situation needs to be judged after a detailed diagnosis, but what is certain is that Sun Zhuo's next game, the entire series, and the entire playoffs will all be the same. Impossible to play again.

"Sun, I'm sorry, if I hadn't pushed Tim, you wouldn't have been hurt." Lamar Odom felt very guilty for Sun Zhuo.

Everyone knows what it means for the Lakers to lose Sun Zhuo.

There is no hope, the Lakers can't win the Spurs again, this should be a series without suspense, relying on Sun Zhuo and Kobe, once gave everyone hope, but now, the hope is officially shattered.

Sun Zhuo has also been silent. This is the first time he has such a major injury in the NBA. This is something that every professional athlete cannot avoid. Sun Zhuo remembers that Durant also had a similar injury, and he seems to have recovered several times. months.

"It's over, my season is over, unfortunately, I don't have a repeat challenge card, otherwise, I can avoid this injury."

Sun Zhuo was very sad, but even if he was not injured, it would be difficult for the Lakers to advance in the series. Even if they were lucky enough to advance, there was absolutely no chance of winning the championship. The Lakers were destined to be a spoiler this season. They were far from the championship Too big, Kobe and Sun Zhuo are very strong, but the Lakers management has not yet started to find suitable helpers for them.

After Sun Zhuo was injured, someone began to worry about Sun Zhuo's career, and this person was Lakers owner Jerry Buss.

Bas immediately contacted the doctor who diagnosed Sun Zhuo, and invited him to his home to learn more about Sun Zhuo's condition.

"Doctor, how is Sun's injury?" Bass looked serious.

"The initial diagnosis is not optimistic, and the diagnostic examination will continue. What is certain is that he will need at least two to three months before he can play." The doctor said.

Bass doesn't care when Sun Zhuo will be able to play. He didn't have any hope this season. He knew that Sun Zhuo and Kobe could make such a big disturbance in the playoffs. He made some moves before the deadline of the trading day up.

Bass said: "He needs half a year and a year to recover, and I don't care. In fact, I care more about whether this injury will have an impact on his career? After he recovers, he can still maintain his previous ability. And explosiveness?"

The doctor said: "It shouldn't be a problem. His injury is actually not a serious injury. Athletes will encounter it more or less. It's normal. You don't need to worry too much."

Bass asked again: "Will he be injured like this again? If he is injured often, will his body be finished?"

The doctor smiled helplessly: "You have to ask his coach this question, but people of yellow race are more likely to be injured than black people."

"Really?" Buzz's eyes lit up.

"Yes, President Bass, there is a scientific basis for this. According to research, blacks have 80 percent fast-twitch fibers, while whites and yellows only account for 70 percent. This means that blacks are more explosive and less explosive. It is easy to be injured, and the testosterone in the blood of black athletes is 3 to 19% higher than that of other races. In addition, Sun did not grow up in the United States. His training, diet, and medical treatment are all better than those in our country. I think it is quite easy to get injured when entering a high-intensity league like the NBA." The doctor said slowly.

After hearing this, Buzz fell into deep thought. He began to have a concern, that is, will Sun Zhuo become a glass man?
Sun Zhuo is indeed an amazing Asian athlete, but although he has outstanding ability, can his career last?For a moment, Bass thought about Penny.

Originally, Buss didn't need to think about this issue so early, but this season, he found that Kobe and Sun Zhuo couldn't coexist. With Kobe's personality, he might force the management to make them make a choice again. Make trade-offs.

After wrapping up his conversation with the doctor, Jerry Buss made another long-lost phone call to Zen master Phil Jackson.

"Honestly, do you think Son has a long career?" Bass asked.

"I won't answer your question. I can't predict Sun's future." Phil Jackson said.

"After we won the championship last season, we made a wrong decision and didn't renew your contract. I think our fate is not over yet. Jenny still loves you. You know the problem I am facing now. If it were you , From the perspective of the team owner, from the perspective of long-term interests, who would you choose Kobe or Sun?"

"Kobe." Phil Jackson quickly gave the answer after he had just published a book accusing Kobe.
