explosive dribbler

Chapter 157 Injured
With a ten-to-five lead at the start, the Magic played very well.They faced the most terrifying Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs.

James started to get angry.

The weakness of his teammates made him not have much patience to wait.He received the ball and went directly to the basket to force a breakthrough.If James really wants to score, who can guard him?

James forced a jump directly inside and caused Gordon's foul, and at the same time forced the ball in.

Two plus one!

But James' free throws were still unstable, and he missed the free throw.

The Magic advanced quickly in the frontcourt, and An Xiaonan called Gordon's pick-and-roll after receiving the ball.

But Gordon's pick-and-roll action was a little rough. When George Hill hit him, he fell back and the referee immediately blew his whistle.

Gordon screens for a foul!

Gordon quit immediately. He actually got two fouls in just one minute?How long is the first quarter now?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Vogel quickly replaced Gordon and replaced Biyombo.

In this way, An Xiaonan knew that he might have to play the entire first quarter.

but it does not matter.

An Xiaonan directed his teammates to return to defense.First of all, what they have to do is to do a good job of defense and prevent the opponent's damn ball.

"brush!"

LeBron James showed no mercy, and forced a fadeaway jumper at the mid-range buzzer.He is just so unreasonable.

The score was tied in no time.

An Xiaonan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He didn't force a single because of Gordon's pick-and-roll foul.Still implement tactics and perform pick-and-roll tasks.

After the pick-and-roll, Love switched to An Xiaonan.

Love was not good at defense, but An Xiaonan's success rate against him was still very high.Love is obviously more afraid of An Xiaonan's sudden retreat for three points, so his defensive position is very forward.In this way, An Xiaonan made a deft breakthrough with a variable speed, and directly passed Love and entered the inside line.

But LeBron James' supplementary defense was very timely!This is the first confrontation between An Xiaonan and James!
Facing James' supplementary defense, An Xiaonan made a judgment in an instant.At this time, there are many insiders. If the ball is passed to Biyombo, who was defended by James before, the ball is likely to be blocked.

So An Xiaonan jumped up without hesitation, and chose to confront James in the air.

James jumps really high, and his momentum is very powerful, which is completely different from the regular season.

An Xiaonan gritted his teeth and wanted to dunk the ball in, but James' big hand pressed the ball in An Xiaonan's hand impartially.An Xiaonan's expression changed suddenly, he could never beat James in terms of strength!
"Go down!" James yelled angrily, An Xiaonan lost his center of gravity immediately, and the ball was out of the control of his palm.

"Bang!" An Xiaonan fell heavily to the ground, and the referee signaled that it was a good shot and no foul was committed!

The knight quickly launched a fast attack, An Xiaonan was about to get up and chase, but suddenly felt pain in the muscles of his thigh... so that he fell to the ground again.

"Bang dang!!"

In the frontcourt, James received a pass from George Hill and jumped directly inside the free throw line with one foot, gliding with a tomahawk and scoring a dunk.

"Wow—" The audience was in an uproar, and they were not surprised by James' dunk.They were surprised by An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan sat on the ground with a solemn expression.

The referee stopped the game.

Gordon quickly rushed up to the front of An Xiaonan: "An, what's wrong with you?"

An Xiaonan sighed, grabbed Gordon's outstretched hand and stood up abruptly, then limped off the stage.

The expressions of all the magicians became very ugly.

Is this a thigh strain?

If An Xiaonan gets injured, not only this game, but this round of the series is very likely to be over.

On the other end, James is calling his teammates to arrange tactics.Tyronn Lue stood aside as the audience listened.

An Xiaonan sat down on the chair.The team doctor Sessions communicated with him, and put his hand on An Xiaonan's leg for massage.

An Xiaonan's expression suddenly changed, and Session immediately knew where An Xiaonan was injured.

"Man, we gotta go back to the locker room and check," Sessions reminded.

An Xiaonan already knew that he might have to go back to the locker room for treatment, but An Xiaonan felt helpless when he said it from the authoritative team doctor.

This is the first time this season that he is injured enough to go back to the locker room for an examination, and the result is good or bad, we don't know yet...

An Xiaonan nodded, and reluctantly glanced at his teammates who had returned to the field, then stood up and walked into the player tunnel with the support of Raymond and the team doctor.

The audience at the scene was noisy, and some female fans prayed with their hands folded and their eyes flushed.

James also glanced at An Xiaonan, thinking to himself: This is the game, Ann, don't blame me.

Because An Xiaonan was injured and left the field, Gordon had to re-enter the field with two fouls, and the Magic were already in trouble.

James alone can be said to have dominated the first quarter and the rest of the game, and the Magic couldn't prevent his offense at all.Or maybe it was because of An Xiaonan's injury and leaving the field, their mentality was affected to a certain extent.Although they all believed that An Xiaonan would come back, they lost confidence in winning the game.

An Xiaonan failed to come back before the end of the first quarter.At the end of the first quarter, the Magic trailed the Cavaliers by 15 points with 26:[-].

locker room.

An Xiaonan was undergoing an examination, and the team doctor Sessions preliminarily concluded that An Xiaonan had thigh cramps.Thigh cramps are less common than calf cramps.But such an injury is enough for the team doctor to breathe a sigh of relief, at least not a thigh strain.

It takes at least three weeks for a strain to recover, but only two or three days for a cramp.

To be on the safe side, the team doctor advised An Xiaonan not to play this game, after all, this is only the first game of this series.If possible, An Xiaonan had better undergo further inspection just in case.So far, An Xiaonan's best comeback time is in the third away game.

Listening to the team doctor's opinion and analysis, An Xiaonan felt mixed emotions in his heart.Is the home court advantage I finally had so hard to lose like this...

An Xiaonan is a rational person, he knows that his health is more important than a game.But he always feels that if they can't win this game, their series will basically be over...

An Xiaonan was torn between whether to go into battle with injuries, or choose to trust his teammates?
"If you believe in your teammates, we may win the Cavaliers." Raymond comforted.

An Xiaonan thought hard, if he wants to go into battle with injuries, he can't delay now...

An Xiaonan still made a difficult decision, he chose to recuperate well...
