Chapter 101 The Team Needs You

Dwyane Wade's sudden injury has been nothing short of a disaster for the Miami Heat.

Perhaps it was also his influence that the Heat were sluggish for the rest of the season.LeBron James tried to lead the team to counterattack and recover the lost score. However, other players were not in good condition, and his strength alone could not help the team achieve a reversal.

99:93.

The Miami Heat lost to the Indiana Pacers by six points.

After the game, the Miami fans on the sidelines left one after another looking lonely, and the Heat players looked extremely frustrated.

From LeBron James to Chris Bosh, both of them lost their former relaxed state and became very disappointed.

Immediately after the game, LeBron James also rushed to the hospital, along with head coach Eric Spoelstra.

When the two arrived at the door of the ward, the general manager of the team, Pat Riley, had already led someone to guard there.Seeing the two coming, Pat Riley also spoke.

"Don't worry, the doctor has already checked...Dwayne's injury is not serious, he just needs to recuperate for a few days..."

"Thank God!"

LeBron James breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced into the ward and found that Dwyane Wade was also looking at him. The two waved and greeted. LeBron James opened the ward and entered it first.

"Pat, I have something to tell you, let's talk in another place!"

Eric Spoelstra spoke.

Pat Riley nodded.

The two walked to the edge of the long corridor at the end of the hospital, and stopped when they saw no one else.Eric Spoelstra was the first to speak, "Pat, if Dwyane truces now, our lineup will have a big problem...I think we should get Zhao back now Come......."

"Of course he can't replace Dwyane, but his presence makes us not weaker ... Listen, I know you want Zhao to compromise the contract next season, but if we screw up this season, If you fail to lead the team to the finals, it will not be a good thing for you and me...."

Pat Riley also sighed, covering his face with his hands, looking very tired.After a while, he finally replied, "Okay! Okay! I understand what you mean...then let's get him back first!"

"The team is very difficult, I know... No matter how the next season is, let's get through the current difficulties first! Eric, I hope we will not lose again in the next game. If we lose again, the finals will be against the We're completely out of luck...."

News of Dwyane Wade's truce due to injury spread quickly.By the next day, almost the entire league knew about it.

The Miami fans were very worried about this. At this time, many people also thought of Zhao Feiyang, who also played in the second position.

They didn't pay much attention to Zhao Feiyang's departure before. After all, as long as there are three giants, all problems can be solved easily.

Fans have become so overly dependent on the Big Three that when any one of them has a problem, they worry about the team's next game.

Not to mention losing both battles at this time!Still lost to the opponent at the American Airlines Arena.

This kind of loss at home makes it hard not to worry about the future of the team!

Generally speaking, home field advantage is real, and most teams play well at home!If you fail to win at home, it will be too difficult to turn defeat into victory in the away game.

"When will Zhao come back?"

"Where did he go?"

"We need him! We need a guy who can score and output steadily! He is the champion of the three-point shooting contest! Why don't you stand up and carry the team?"

Fans frantically poured into the Heat's official website to leave messages.

At the same time, on the afternoon of the second day, Pat Riley contacted Zhao Feiyang's agent, David Stocker again.

Head coach Eric Spoelstra also personally called Zhao Feiyang.

"Zhao, we need you! Come back!"

In the face of Eric Spoelstra's almost begging tone, Zhao Feiyang was more receptive.He didn't make a fuss, but expressed his thoughts clearly.

"Coach Eric, it's okay if the team wants me to go back! But I must ensure that I play no less than 20 minutes... If I can't do this, then I won't go back... …”

"Of course. That's definitely not a problem!"

"I promise you that!"

From the end of the All-Star Game to the Eastern Conference Finals, Zhao Feiyang scored quite a few points. After accumulating, his playing time has been as high as 21 minutes. Because of this, he hopes to get more playing opportunities.

Faced with the assurances made by the head coach, Zhao Feiyang finally chose to return to the team.

By the morning of the third day, he returned to the training hall on time to train with his teammates.His return was unanimously welcomed by his teammates, and even LeBron James kept praising Zhao Feiyang before training.

"Zhao, now we can breathe a sigh of relief...... Dude, you must throw more three-pointers in the next game......"

After two games in the Eastern Conference finals, the Western Conference finals were also very intense.

The San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder can be described as evenly matched, and the two sides played inextricably in the first two games.

In the first game, the Spurs got off to a good start. At the end of the first half, the Spurs relied on Tim Duncan to get a double-digit lead.

The Thunder didn't feel very good at first, but after the second half, the core of the team, Kevin Durant, ushered in a big explosion. He singled Kawhi Leonard from beyond the three-point line one after another, even though Kawhi Leonard Germany's defense is already very tight, but it still can't stop Kevin Durant's deadly three-pointer.

After Kevin Durant played out, Russell Westbrook gradually found his touch.He continued to score in singles and helped Kevin Durant share nearly half of the defensive pressure.

By the last quarter, the Thunder finally achieved a lead.

With their defense at the last moment, they successfully held the score advantage until the end of the game, and finally defeated the Spurs 112 to 107.

After winning the first game, the Thunder failed to expand their results.

After all, this is the home court of the Spurs. After the second game started, Kawhi Leonard completely exploded.In the first half alone, he scored 20 points. After the second half, Kawhi Leonard scored another 11 points after other Spurs players hit long shots one after another.

Among them are the key three-pointers thrown when facing Kevin Durant.

As a result, the game-high score of 31 points successfully helped the team win.

The big score of the two teams also tied 1 to 1, temporarily entering a strategic stalemate.

The Western Conference has just ended, and only one day later, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals also followed.

This time, to Zhao Feiyang's surprise, before the start of the game, the head coach Eric Spoelstra directly put him in the starting list.

This is his first start for the Heat.
