lakers championship

Chapter 135
Injuries are an unavoidable problem for NBA players. Even LeBron James, who is known as the iron man, has suffered 12 injuries from head to toe.

Serious injuries happen more often to superstars.For example, Bryant's left Achilles tendon was torn; Hill's left ankle underwent three operations; Rose's cruciate ligament was damaged.

As strong as Jordan, he also fractured his left foot in the second year of his career and missed 64 games.

Most of the superstars who suffered serious injuries sank because of this. The luckier ones whose statistics declined and became role players, who were almost unlucky and almost couldn't play the ball directly. Few of them returned from injury like Jordan and played harder and harder.

Therefore, it was normal for various media to underestimate Tianyang's performance after entering the NBA.

Fortunately, he is the same as Jordan with a broken left leg, Westbrook with a torn meniscus, Irving with a broken knee, Wade with a meniscus removed, and Pierce with 11 knives. Affected, but more vigorous than before.

There are rumors that his jumping has improved, and this is what Jordan is wondering about. If the jumping has not improved, it is absolutely impossible to block Westbrook with one step from the free throw line.

You must know that Westbrook's physical fitness can be called a beast.

Phil Knight next to him moved his lips, "It seems that he is the chosen one?"

Jordan nodded, and said helplessly: "At the beginning, you were too quick to settle the contract in less than a week. I didn't come forward to snatch the person. In the end, you actually canceled the contract. What about playing games?"

Phil Knight sighed slightly, "Stop talking, let's work together to take him down this time."

The 'Jordan' brand held by Jordan, although it is a subsidiary brand of Nike.

But because the annual sales of the 'Jordan' brand are as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, Jordan has great power. Not only can he directly compete with Nike, but he can even grab Nike players, such as Griffin.

On the court, Tianyang nailed Westbrook, the Lakers made a fast break, and Ingram scored two points.

The Thunder attacked again, and Westbrook, who was full of displeasure, took the ball to the top of the arc and beckoned for Robertson to step forward to cover.

The two sides switched defenses, and Tianyang faced Westbrook at 45 degrees to the left.

Considering Westbrook's offensive style of opening and closing, and rarely dribbling, Tianyang slightly bent his knees, bowed his back, pulled up his pants with both hands, and watched Westbrook's every move with his eyes.

Sure enough, after Westbrook slightly adjusted his posture, he jumped to the right with a sudden step, like a spring, without warning.

Tianyang kicked his toes on the ground, turned his hips sideways, and slid a step directly to the left rear, blocking Westbrook's breakthrough route.

Unexpectedly, Westbrook sped up again and rushed towards the basket like a cannonball fired. Tianyang could only turn his body around again to keep up.

Westbrook made a strong throw from the low position on the left, and Tianyang followed suit and slapped the basketball.

The referee blows the whistle, the ball is thrown out of bounds, and the Thunder have the ball.

Gai Weishao twice, Randall and Clarkson happily ran over to celebrate with high fives, but Tianyang knew that if Westbrook played like this throughout the game, he would soon be dragged down.

The general breakthrough rhythm is either to rush to the end, or a combination of fast and slow. Like Westbrook's wild way of speeding up and accelerating, it is really difficult to guard against. There is no skill at all, and there is only explosiveness and endurance.

The referee blew the whistle, Adams stood on the bottom line, and threw the ball vigorously beyond the three-point line. Westbrook took off and picked it up, landed and went straight to the basket.Clarkson didn't react at all, McGee and Randall were still entangled with the Thunder players in the right half, and Ingram squatted in the left corner again.

Tianyang rushed forward and stopped Westbrook in the paint.

Westbrook made a strong dunk, and Tianyang flew to cover the block, but it was a little short.

The referee blows the whistle, 2 points are valid, and one penalty is added.

Westbrook made an additional free throw and the Thunder led 5-2.

The Lakers attacked, and Clarkson dribbled the ball across half court. Under Walton's command, he gave up the mobile offensive tactics and directly handed the ball to Tianyang.Then McGee mentioned the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and Tianyang accelerated to the right wing.

Adams, who switched defenses, followed closely, Tianyang stopped suddenly and pulled the ball to the left, stepping into the inside line.

Adams couldn't catch up, Sabonis made up the defense, and Tianyang jumped to the short corner on the left.

Hook shot! 2 hits.

The Thunder attacked again, Westbrook stopped the ball at the top of the arc, signaled for Robertson to cover with his finger, and singled out Tianyang again.

This time, Westbrook added some technical moves, such as changing hands and dribbling under the crotch.

But without changing a few times, he raised his shoulders and kicked his feet to exert strength, and rushed to the inside line like lightning.

Tianyang's defensive strategy also changed. He did not retreat, but took the ball from behind the moment Westbrook passed by.

With a "snap", as expected, the steal was successful, and Tianyang picked up the basketball and ran wildly.

The Thunder players on the bench yelled fouls at the referee, but Westbrook immediately turned around and chased after him.

The two were too fast, rushing to the three-point line at the same time in the blink of an eye.

Tianyang stopped abruptly, and Westbrook also stopped immediately.

But Tianyang shot a three-pointer directly, and Westbrook had no time to take off and interfere.

The basketball hit the circle and rebounded into the net, and the Lakers tied the score.

Phil Knight on the sidelines frowned suddenly. He didn't watch the game very much, but he also knew that Tianyang used the 'Curry style' quick three-point shooting posture just now, which was exactly the same.

After Curry's two consecutive MVPs, Nike's decision not to renew the contract was evaluated by the media as stupid as Adidas missing Jordan and LeBron.Even if Curry failed to win the championship in 16, Nike lost a lot of money out of thin air, and had an extra competitor named Under Armour.

"If Under Armour's lobbying for Curry, you may need to pay more attention." Phil Knight's tone was a little worried.

Jordan curled his lips, "I've already given face to watch the game, and we can meet and chat at most, but if he can lead the team to win the game tonight and surpass Westbrook in statistics, I can see him twice more."

On the court, Westbrook cooperated with Adams in the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

After switching defenses, McGee couldn't keep up, and Westbrook pulled out a 3-pointer from the right wing position and made a hollow hit.

Easy to attack the Lakers, the same pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Tianyang dribbles to the right.

Adams was late in advance, Robertson quickly bypassed McGee to catch up, and McGee made an empty cut to the basket.

Tianyang raised the ball with both hands and took off. He made a fake pass and made a real pass. McGee caught the ball and started a three-step layup.

Unfortunately, the hand slipped and the basketball flew into Sabonis' hands.

Seeing this situation, Tianyang and Westbrook turned around and ran towards the center line almost at the same time.Westbrook wants to play a fast break, and Tianyang wants to defend against a fast break.

It is said that if the Thunder lost the opportunity, they should stop and play positions, but Sabonis still chose to make a long pass.

The reason for passing the ball is simple, Westbrook wants the ball.

Tianyang and Westbrook looked up at the ball while running, but Westbrook was faster.If this continues, Tianyang may not be able to grab the ball.

In desperation, Tianyang had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way for Paul to delay the fast break.

He resolutely gave up looking up at the ball, then lowered his head, gritted his teeth and sprinted in front of Westbrook.At this time, Westbrook was still looking up at the ball, not paying attention to Tianyang's actions at all.

With a 'bang', Westbrook 'knocked down' Tianyang, and the referee blew his whistle to signal a foul.

　Embarrassing, I wrote this chapter for 2 hours, and I can't send Chapter 7 at 2 o'clock, so I'll go have a meal first.
