Chapter 868 Brand Returning from Injury (Part [-])
"Oh, no~!!, it's over~!! I'm over~!!"

A year ago, at the home court of the Spurs, when Brand was injured and fell to the ground not long after the start of the game, Brand felt the pain in his body and secretly said sadly.

The results of subsequent examinations were indeed the same, the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee was torn, and the recovery period was one year.

This was a bolt from the blue for Brand at the time.

The older you get, the more serious the impact of this injury is, and Brand wasn't even sure he'd be able to return to the game.

Afterwards, with Lan Shengli's encouragement and help, Brand began a long recovery process.

Nearly a year later, Brand finally recovered from his injury, finally put on the Clippers jersey again, and was ready to play again.

"No. 1999 pick in the 42 NBA draft, best rookie, two-time All-Star, debut this season, No. [-], Elton Brand~!!!!"

Listening to the long-lost opening introduction, Brand even burst into tears.

Belonging to Brand's comeback battle, the Clippers' home game against the Warriors is about to begin.

Now that he has come to the starting lineup, it shows that Lan Shengli is very confident in Brand's recovery and competitive state.

Coupled with the lack of strength of the opponent, especially the power forward, a white shooter-type insider is Brand's favorite type of matchup.

"I've already told the team members, you won't be here tonight like you did before~!!"

"Then I'll hit the buckle with a big windmill~!!, haha~!!!"

Before the game, Lan Shengli and his old friendship here, the Warriors started at the third position, and "Muscle Man" Maggette was joking.

Both looked relaxed.

But when the game started, that was not the case.

After the jump ball, Jordan helped the Clippers get the first wave of possession.

Hill dribbles quickly to half court.

Brand here seemed very active and excited, and directly came to a position near the baseline to catch Radmanovic, asking for the ball.

So proactive in the first round, it can be seen how eager Brand is for this game and that kind of performance.

Hill quickly dropped the ball in.

Brand played solo in the first round, which seemed to be the best scenario for the comeback battle.

Brand, who was holding the ball, hit his back and the other Clippers players immediately opened up space.

Even Jordan, who has no shooting ability, came near the top arc of the free throw line.

Although doing so may lose rebounds, it can give Brand the most sufficient singles environment.

Although there is not much difference in height between the two, Brand relied on better strength to fight, and directly dribbled the ball horizontally to a position two steps outside the reasonable collision zone.

Seeing that Radmanovic's center of gravity had not been adjusted stably, Brand made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

Brand played very confidently, not at all like a player who hasn't played an official game for a year.

Although he didn't jump much, but because of the sudden shot, Radmanovich also failed to make effective interference.

The ball went over Radmanovic and headed for the basket.

"Clang, clang~, clang~"

Although the ball was crooked a lot, it seemed to be able to bounce in thanks to Brand's soft touch.

"Swipe~!!"

that's the truth.

In Brand's comeback battle, he succeeded in singles in the first offense and scored the ball. This scenario may be the best scenario.

"Yeah!!!"

The fans, who hadn't appreciated such a delicate inside attack for a long time, immediately cheered.

"That's right, it's still Brand, the soul of the team Brand who has a magical touch and indiscriminate singles ability inside~!!, it's good to have you back~!"

Lan Shengli looked at Brand, who was actively returning to defense, and secretly rejoiced.

Harden also took the initiative to high-five Brand from the side, looking very happy.

"The role of Brand's comeback is not only reflected in helping the team to have better offensive and defensive tactics in the interior, but more importantly, it can drive young players to play. If the previous Clippers belonged to a If there is no backbone team, Brand is now the backbone, the absolute leader of the team, and today's Clippers is Brand's team, it used to be, and it is now~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"I've been looking forward to this lineup for a long time. Judging from the results shown during the training match, it's very ideal~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

The Warriors' first offense here was also a singles. Alice's continuous stops and starts made Harden unable to keep up.

"Old Nelson really knows how to grab the opponent's weakest point, and then hit him hard~!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

I saw that Alice had already broken through Harden's defense and slanted towards the basket.

At this time before, it was Gooden who appeared in the defensive position. Gooden's defensive ability and awareness made it seem that he could only use fouls to disrupt the offense at this time, but the situation is very different now.

This time standing in front of Alice was Brand.

I saw Brand lowering his center of gravity, watching Alice's breakthrough route and eyes, making defensive predictions.

Seeing that Alice had left the ground with one foot, Brand immediately jumped up to block the shot.

Here, Alice really made a throwing action of horseback riding and archery.

Although the bounce height may be far inferior to the peak period, but the super long wingspan still allows Brand to cause great interference to the shooting players.

Moreover, Brand controlled his body very well, and there was no physical confrontation with Alice in the air, a very clean defense.

Under such interference, Alice could only choose to increase the release point and arc.

Because Alice was going to hit the board before the ball, this adjustment of the shooting route made the goal suddenly more difficult.

"Elite-level defense~!!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli also secretly praised it.

"Dah, clang~, clang~"

After the ball touched the backboard, although it also hit the basket, the angle was completely wrong, so it just bounced out of the frame.

Biedrins and Jordan are stuck in each other's positions at the basket, ready to compete for rebounds.

Although Biedrins looks very thin, he has excellent fighting ability and mainly has rich experience~! !
Because both men are known for rebounding, the rebounding competition is fierce.

Two people took off at the same time, you touched it, I dialed it, but neither of them could control the rebound.

"Mine~!!!"

At this time, Brand came up with a saying "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins". When Jordan Jr. and Biedrins both fell, Brand jumped up, shouting, with his hands like Like a vise, he took the rebound.
