Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 180 180. Terrible Injuries (for Subscription)

Li Cha and Westbrook were in different teams, and this was the first time that the two had become rivals on the field.

Although the two often confronted each other in training, it was the first time that they were independent.

It's a pity that the Thunder is about to start the game at this time, and the players don't know the news for the time being.

The Wizards have two guns in the backcourt. Wall is the fastest player in the league. Bill's scoring methods are also becoming more mature. With the cooperation of the two, they scored in the top four in the Eastern Conference last season and are still in fourth this season. There is a tendency to catch up with the Cavaliers.

Walbier also both entered the All-Star bench.

This is a great encouragement to the two young defenders and further stimulated their fighting spirit.

The Thunder still played a strong offensive in the first quarter. The Wizards in the away game did not adapt immediately. After being beaten 10:0 at the beginning, the Wizards finally woke up and started the journey of chasing points.

On the side of the Thunder, because George's state is not very good, he only shot a three-pointer, and the other teammates did not shoot a three-pointer, missing the best time to increase the score.

The Thunder players only caught Gortat's slow pace, and other players were not tall enough to play hard inside, but the efficiency was not high, especially George's breakthrough did not cause enough damage and did not score.

After the initial continuous strikes, the Wizards finally showed their outside shooting ability and gradually approached the score.

After the first quarter, the Thunder only led the Wizards by 23 points at 26:3 and entered the second quarter.

George only scored 8 points on 3 of 7 shots, and his performance was very inaccurate.

Li Cha only took two shots in the first quarter, because he felt that George was showing something, Li Cha and Westbrook both chose to respect their teammates and gave up their phones.

This is what the three often do, and whoever feels good will give the ball to him.

At this time, George wanted the ball but the efficiency was not high. According to the convention, George should reduce his shots.

"Paul, don't worry, leave this to us." Li Cha wanted to comfort George.

George looked at Li Cha blankly, but there seemed to be some unseen emotion in his eyes, "Okay, I will take fewer shots."

Then he sat down on the stool coldly.

Li Cha was dumbfounded.

"I'll fight!" Westbrook sat down and sat next to George.

George's face froze, but he didn't say anything.

Although Li Cha had tried his best to get George's strange behavior out of his mind, his thoughts were still a little confused for a while, and he felt that George had something against him.

When Li Cha led the team in the second quarter, Li Cha did not give full play. The point difference between the two sides remained unchanged. The Wizards seemed to see the hope of chasing points. Li Cha led the team to play the second team. This is an important time point for the Thunder to win in many games.

Today failed to widen the point difference, the Wizards made their debut again, and are preparing to continue to smooth the point difference, and Westbrook also played again.

As soon as Westbrook spoke, he immediately started the MVP mode. In the crazy breakthrough, he made 8 of 7 shots in 5 minutes, made 2 of 2 free throws and scored 12 points.

Wall was stunned.

Only when Bill supported himself alone, did he not have a single hit.

George played again and did not continue to attack with the ball. He just floated outside and shot 3 three-pointers, only one goal was hit.

Although he didn't understand what George was doing, Li Cha continued to score points under Westbrook's organization.

The Thunder won the second quarter by 9 points.

The Wizards trailed by 45 points 57:12 in the first half.

During the intermission, George stayed in the corner alone, instead of gathering around the coach with everyone to listen to the tactics as usual.

Feeling even more sluggish.

Looking at Westbrook again, he also felt George's poor state, but his eyes were full of impulse and desire to win.

Right.

All ideological issues should be put to the back. The team's victory is the most important thing. After the game, there is plenty of time to slowly understand and digest.

Li Cha also rekindled his fighting spirit.

At the beginning of the second half, the Wizards obviously also made tactical adjustments. Wall no longer blindly broke through, but tried to pass the ball to someone in a better position. Bill also gradually found his touch, and the Wizards set off a wave of offensive climax.

Westbrook and Li Cha fought hard. Every time the opponent tried to make a move, both of them were able to hold back the opponent by scoring.

But George continued to collapse, making only one of six shots, and his state got worse.

The Wizards won by 34 points 28:6 in a single quarter, bringing the suspense of the game into the fourth quarter.

The fourth quarter can be called a fight of gods.

The Wizards showed their power at the same time, and made various three-pointers. Both Bill and Wall made 5 of 4 three-pointers, vowing to overtake the score.

Bill scored 18 points in a single quarter, and Wall also scored 12 points. The two entered the playoff star mode, bringing the suspense of the game to the end.

The Thunder also had to respond. Westbrook made 11 of 9 shots in a single quarter, and Li Cha also took up the banner of the outside line, scoring two consecutive three-pointers, and the efforts of the Wizards' double guns came to naught.

Westbrook scored 21 points in a single quarter, and Li Cha also scored 10 points.

In the final fourth quarter, the Wizards lost 38:39 to the Thunder by 1 point.

Drinking hatred lost this strong dialogue.

乔治第四节再度3中1整场比赛20投5中只拿到16分。

好在威斯布鲁克生猛发挥砍下46分6篮板6助攻，李茶也得到22分5篮板1助攻。

The Thunder have won five straight.

After the game, the team learned that Li Cha and Westbrook were assigned to different teams in the All-Star Game.

"Brother Li, Brother Russell, you two are on the Curry team and the James team!" Allen bluffed in a fuss.

Li Cha and Westbrook were taken aback when they heard it, and then immediately glanced at each other, seeing a fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

A teammate has become an opponent, so use the most familiar method to defeat his willingness to fight.

George was already very unhappy, he didn't make it to the All-Star, and he didn't play well in the game. Now after hearing the news, his expression became even gloomy, and he tried to cover himself with other things in his position.

"Li, although you are the starter, don't confront me, I will let everyone know how dehydrated your starter is!" Westbrook began to spout trash talk at Li Cha.

There's only three weeks left before the game, should we start sparring now?Come on then.

"I can guarantee that there will be no one within one meter of you from the three-point line." Li Cha also hit the nail on the head.

James also sprayed Westbrook like this last year, and Westbrook fought back at that time, but this year we can't say the same about Li Cha, Li Cha's three-pointers are also very accurate.

"I really want to see the duel between the two big brothers!" Allen added fuel to the side, wishing that the spark between the two was not strong enough.

"Hahahaha..." The locker room was filled with joy and peace.

No, no, no one really thinks that Li Cha and Westbrook will turn against each other.

Durant also expressed his position after knowing that he was not on the same team as Curry, saying that he would definitely reward Curry with a few blocks.

Still no one had guessed what George was thinking.

On January 1, in the Pelicans game, the James team's inside twin towers were also the Pelicans' inside twin towers. This year, under the leadership of the Twin Towers and Holiday, the Pelicans have a pretty good record, and the playoffs have basically stabilized.

But the joy turned into sorrow, Cousins ​​was injured and left the field after a rebound fell, and returned directly to the locker room.

After the game, the Pelicans also issued a statement that Cousins ​​ruptured his Achilles tendon and will undergo surgery and will be reimbursed for the season.

It is even more impossible to continue to participate in the All-Star Game.

A rupture of the Achilles tendon is a major injury. It will take at least half a year to repair after the rupture, and it is impossible to return to the previous state. The explosive power of the leg will be severely reduced. Kobe fell from the peak because of the rupture of the Achilles tendon.

As soon as Cousins' injury came out, the Pelicans came to a dead end again. The team finally saw hope, and it became a bubble again.

Originally, Cousins ​​was going to ask for a five-year maximum salary. At this time, he was seriously injured, and the Pelicans would definitely not offer a maximum salary contract.

Cousins ​​was injured, and the James team lacked a starting center. Of course, frontcourt personnel can also be used to replace them. Generally, the starting players will be raised from the bench.

This player was not selected from the bench, but another player was found.

And this player is Thunder forward Paul George!
According to a league spokesperson, it was because George received more coaching votes (relative to other undrafted stars) when determining the bench list.

It is difficult to convince the public, but there is still no way to refute it. The alliance is willing to give an argument, which is already good. What more reasonable or unreasonable do you want?

The Thunder ended up with three All-Stars, including two starters.

George is also his fifth individual All-Star selection and third consecutive selection.

This news spread to the Thunder team, causing an uproar again.

On January 1, the Thunder traveled to Detroit to challenge the Pistons away.

On the flight, George's complexion has become very good, especially when he heard the blessings from his teammates, he was in a better mood and smiled brighter.

In other words, only Li Cha was not on the James team, and he was at a disadvantage two-on-one.

Li Cha could only flatten his mouth helplessly.

There were no surprises in the game against the Pistons. The morale was strong, and the touch was also hot. The team could win relatively easily.

However, at the end of the third quarter, Robertson fell hard because of his foot slipping, and then he couldn't get up, and was carried out of the field on a stretcher.

Although the Thunder won the game 121:108, the team doctor's preliminary diagnosis was that Robertson had torn the patellar ligament. After returning to Oklahoma, he should be checked immediately. If it is true, Robertson who underwent surgery will be reimbursed for the season.

Donovan looked gloomy, Westbrook was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, George was sad again, and Li Cha was itching with hatred.

I put all my energy on the All-Star matter and forgot to remind Robertson.

It is very difficult for a team to lose a defensive pillar.

至于威斯布鲁克在比赛中砍下31分11篮板13助攻的三双，乔治再度拿下26分，李茶也有23分5篮板1助攻的结果，一点都不重要了。
