play for it

Chapter 188 Fiasco
Not long after, the game officially started. Amidst the neat support of the home fans, the Spurs led the remnant team to meet the Heat with the Big Three head-on.

In fact, from the moment Parker and Duncan were injured and would no longer play, the balance of victory has been biased towards the Heat.After all, the role of Duncan and Parker on the Spurs cannot be fully reflected by a set of data.

Not long after the game started, Bosh exploded completely, displaying all kinds of low-post singles, mid-range and long-range shots, and the offensive methods he is good at.Directly led the Heat to beat the Spurs 10:0, completing a stunning start.

The reason why Bosh entered the state at the beginning was entirely because he didn't feel too much pressure.Compared with Duncan's defense, although Blair worked hard enough, it was far behind.

Faced with this situation, Yang Ke finally realized that it was time for him to stand up and stabilize the situation.Controlling the ball, he slowly crossed the half court. Facing Chalmers' defense, he stopped directly one step outside the three-point line.

Without stopping, Yang Ke slightly stood up, and before his body reached the highest point and before Chalmers could react, he pushed the ball directly and made a quick three-point shot!

Swish!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell directly into the net. While the white waves appeared, the audience also burst into cheers. This is the home court of the Spurs!
As a member of the Spurs, looking at this three-pointer, the on-site commentator shouted without hesitation: "A three-pointer full of beauty, this is the art of basketball..."

So confident!
Looking at Yang Ke who quickly returned to defense, Chalmers' eyes showed deep envy, at least he didn't dare to make such a shot.Immediately turned around and was about to catch the ball, but found that James had already controlled the ball in his hands.

Seeing James hold the ball while reaching out to direct them to position.Chalmers sighed helplessly, he was really aggrieved as a point guard.

Bang!Bang!
Bring the ball across the half court, and after all his teammates have stood still, James directly launched a tank-style breakthrough, relying on tonnage to forcefully squeeze into the three-point line.

James went inside and made a forced shot with Leonard on his back, adding another two points for the team.When facing the Spurs before, James never dared to play like this.At that time, as long as Duncan stepped inside, James would become cautious, after all, he didn't want to be blocked.

In the ensuing games, the Heat played more and more smoothly, and Wade and James made it to the inside again and again.Even if they failed to get the ball into the basket, they mostly succeeded in creating kills.

With the success of the Heat's offensive again and again, the point difference between the two teams is also getting bigger and bigger.Seeing that the team was unable to keep up with the score, Popovich called a timeout at the end of the first quarter, directly replaced with a pure substitute lineup, and announced his surrender early.

In the end, the Spurs, who were at home, lost to the Heat with a score of 90:120, a gap of [-] points.The only good news in the audience is that the home fans have no dissatisfaction with this.

At the press conference after the game, after Yang Ke and Popovich appeared, a female reporter from Miami stood up and asked, "Coach Popovich, what do you have for this game?" What do you want to say? Are you satisfied with the result of the game?"

Holding his chin with his right hand, Popovich was not very interested. Facing the reporter's question, he only answered two extremely short sentences: "Under the premise of losing the leader, the players have performed well enough. For In the end, there was no satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and we lost in the end."

As soon as the words fell, a San Antonio local reporter immediately stood up, looked at Popovich with both eyes, and asked quickly: "I would like to ask the coach, will the injuries of Duncan and Parker affect the team's goals this season?" .”

"No, winning the championship is still our goal."

Glancing at the reporter, Popovich also knew that he was worried about the team, so he intentionally added, "After all, even if we lose all the remaining games in the regular season, we can still advance to the playoffs. After Parker and Duncan return one by one in the next game, I have the confidence to win the championship."

…………

After asking Popovich a few questions, the reporters turned their attention to Yang Ke. A reporter from the Houston Daily stood up first and asked tentatively: "Due to the loss of this game, the team's What do you think of the 16-game winning streak ended by the Heat?"

"Without that team, it can win consecutively until the end. It is very normal to win or lose."

Glancing at the reporter, with his right hand half-holding the microphone in front of him, Yang Ke said slowly, "In tonight's game, the opponent performed far better than us, so I'm not surprised that they won. "

After getting the answer, before the first one sat down, the second reporter immediately picked up and asked, "May I ask, Yang, did the absence of Duncan and Parker have a significant impact on your performance?"

Nodding his head, pondering for a moment, Yang Ke replied directly: "There is no doubt about it. Duncan and Parker are the core of our team. Their sudden absence made us feel sad and confused."

"However, please believe that in the next game, we will not be affected again."

.........

After the press conference, Yang Ke didn't go back to the apartment. Instead, after buying fruit, he took a taxi to the hospital and found Parker's ward very familiarly.

When Yang Ke walked into the ward, Parker was lying quietly on the hospital bed, holding a storybook in his hand, and there was a stainless steel lunch box on the bedside table, presumably he had just finished his dinner.

Looking at Yang Ke who was walking towards him, Parker froze for a moment, put away the storybook in his hand, and asked in surprise, "Yang, why are you here at this time?"

Putting the fruit basket on the bedside table, Yang Ke went to the seat beside the bed and sat down, looked at the pale Parker, and asked softly: "The game is over, I just have nothing to do at night, so I came to watch Look at you. How is it, is the operation perfect?"

"not bad!"

Nodding his head, Parker answered casually, and when he heard that the game was over, he remembered that the opponent was the Heat, and immediately asked, "Did you win?"

Shaking his head, Yang Ke opened his mouth, and a voice came out: "No, we lost, we lost a total of 30 points."

"That's it!"

Regarding the result of the team's big defeat, although Parker had already prepared in his heart, disappointment and self-blame still flashed across his face.

Looking at Yang Ke who suddenly fell silent, Parker seemed to understand something, put the storybook aside, narrowed his eyes, and asked calmly: "Yang, you must not just come to see me, you should come to me What's the matter. Don't hesitate, just talk about the relationship between us, if there is something difficult, just say it!"
