Author: Can play the harmonica

The pain on Kobe's expression after he fell to the ground made Lu Yusheng immediately feel that something was wrong.

After all, everyone knows that this guy's tolerance for pain is simply extraordinary.

After I fractured my finger, I went to the sidelines to find team doctor Gary Vitti, straightened it manually, and continued to play.

Later, he suffered a serious injury like a ruptured Achilles tendon, but he still managed to make free throws before leaving the game.

In that case, it seems that Kobe has never seen such a painful expression.

It's probably not good to see Kobe with such a painful expression now.

Teammates gathered around Kobe, and team doctor Gary Viti stepped forward to conduct a preliminary examination on Kobe.

"It doesn't matter, just let me take a breath and it'll be fine. I can still play." Kobe said, shaking his ankle with his hand.

"No, that's not possible." Galivetti immediately refused, "You definitely can't win this game."

"No, Gary, I can do that," Kobe insisted.

Obviously, Kobe attaches great importance to this game. The victory is right in front of him and he is about to win it. Of course he doesn't want to give up.

Moreover, he also knows very well that although the Lakers are currently leading, without him as the main scoring point, it may be difficult to win this game.

"Kobe." Galivetti's attitude became more determined, "I am responsible for your career."

"All right,"

In the end, Kobe finally compromised.

With the help of his teammates, he slowly helped him up.

But it seems that Kobe's expression is no longer as painful as before.

Galivetti wanted Kobe to go directly to the locker room, but Kobe refused and wanted to stay on the court.

Galivetti had no choice but to agree to let Kobe stay on the sidelines.

"Oops, Kobe seems to be seriously injured. Barkley, it seems that what you just said really happened." Mason said.

Barkley's eyes were still staring at the scene of Kobe Bryant's sprained foot that was replayed repeatedly in the broadcast.

"This situation is really bad. For athletes, it is really helpless. This situation is unavoidable. It can be clearly seen from the slow motion that McGrady has subconsciously withdrawn his foot. He is also afraid

Kobe will be injured, and we are already protecting him in advance, but it's a pity..." Barkley said with some regret.

He is an athlete himself and can best understand the ruthlessness of injuries to athletes.

"It's really a pity for the fans. We have just enjoyed the showdown between two superstars, and it was only one round. We thought the excitement was yet to come, but no one expected that something suddenly happened.

Something like this happened." Mason said, "Looking at this situation now, I just hope that Kobe will be fine."

"From the slow-motion replay, I think there shouldn't be much of a problem. After all, the degree of bending of the ankle is not great. Of course, we still have to see the results of the MRI after the game, but I will definitely not be able to return in this game." Barkley

Said, "I think this Lakers game may be on the line."

"Not necessarily." Mason said, "You know, they are still ahead by more than ten points."

"But now the third quarter is coming to an end, and there is still a whole quarter in the game. The Lakers lack their absolute main offensive force, how can they compete with the Rockets?" Barkley said.

"But it's not like there's no chance at all." Mason retorted, "After all, Kobe was not there in those games at the beginning of the season, but the Lakers still won three consecutive victories."

"I know you want to say that all this is due to that kid Lu Yusheng, but this is different," Barkley said. "The quality of the teams they faced before can't be compared with the Rockets."

"Really?" Mason said, "Then you mean, the Phoenix Suns are weaker than the Rockets?"

Barkley was stunned, "Have they ever played against the Suns?"

"Of course we have played. Not only have we played, but we have also won. On the first day of the opening game, the Lakers played against the Suns." Mason said.

"Oh, it's the first day. It's inevitable that everyone will be out of shape. This is normal."

"Man, you've started again. There's really nothing I can do about you." Mason said helplessly.

"What do you mean?" Barkley said, "Do you think the Lakers can hold on to this advantage? Come on, one quarter of game time is really nothing to an NBA team. They can catch up in minutes.

return,

Besides, have you forgotten that there is a guy in the Rockets who once scored 13 points in 35 minutes? Chasing points is simply a simple matter for him."

"I still think it's not that simple for the Rockets to win this game," Mason said.

"Then tell me your theoretical basis."

"Listen man, you know, although I am a professional commentator, I have been a Lakers fan since I was a child. I have watched a lot of Lakers games in the past two years, especially their games this year. I have watched every game.

Here we go, do you know the difference between their game this year and last year?"

"What?"

"toughness."

"toughness?"

"Yes, last season's Lakers, although they often took the lead and could win some incredible games, the problem was that most of the time, they would lose some games in which they were leading. Once they were in a headwind, they would basically lose.

It's impossible to win unless Kobe Bryant performs like crazy."

Mason continued, "But this season they have undergone fundamental changes. I found that no matter how disadvantaged they were in the early stage, they would never give up. In the end, they would always try their best to catch up or even overtake the score. And

, especially when they face strong teams, the spirit of disobedience they show is definitely not comparable to that of the Lakers last season. Last season, basically only Kobe had this spirit, but this season,

The whole team seems to have..."

"No, no, no, man, I think even if the Lakers are your home team, you are exaggerating. Let me tell you, the Lakers are Kobe's team. Without Kobe, an absolute giant, they are nothing.

, you must not talk about the few wins at the beginning of the season. We all know that after returning from the new season, everyone needs to adjust. It is normal for strong teams to lose. Without Kobe, they will definitely not be the Rockets.

opponent."

"Of course, I also think that the Lakers will definitely be greatly affected by Kobe's absence, but the problem is, I don't think the Lakers will lose to the Rockets in a hurry like you said."

Buckley was a little disdainful, "Then let's see."

On the field, the game continues.

There are only more than two minutes left in the third quarter.

Lakers offense.

After Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court, he started calling Luke Walton for a pick-and-roll.

The Rockets' response strategy was to switch defenses.

This is what Lu Yusheng is most worried about.

Because with the current configuration of the Rockets, switching defense is basically the best tactic to defend the Lakers pick-and-roll.

After the defense switch, McGrady went to defend Lu Yusheng, while Alston went to defend Walton.

Regarding McGrady, although Lu Yusheng is a small player who beats a big player, with McGrady's defensive ability, it is not easy for Lu Yusheng to beat McGrady.

If Walton is allowed to play against Alston, although it is a big match against a small one, Walton's offensive ability at the third position is obviously weak. Although Alston is not a strong defensive player, he can be used to defend outside the three-point line.

Wharton is still enough.

Therefore, after the Rockets changed defense, Lu Yusheng didn't know how to handle the ball for a while.

Seeing that Walton had already blocked Alston behind him and was desperately trying to get the ball from him, Lu Yusheng passed the ball over.

After Walton got the ball, he made two fake moves facing Alston, who was half a head shorter than him.

But with Alston's lateral speed, there was no loss of position at all.

With no other choice, Wharton had no choice but to crush Alston inside.

But if it's a competition of strength, even though Alston is very thin, his strength is not inferior to that of Luke Walton.

He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, making Wharton's advancement almost impossible and unable to move forward.

In the end, Luke Walton could only barely make a hook shot.

But the ball obviously had less energy and hit the front of the basket!

Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and didn't give Kwame Brown any chance.

When the ball came into Alston's hands, he immediately dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt!

This is his long-standing habit. Although the Rockets are basically unlikely to play fast breaks because of the presence of Yao Ming, a high center, Alston has always maintained his habits during the Bucks and Raptors, always trying to

Go down quickly first and look for opportunities. There is really no chance. Then wait for Yao Ming to get down and start a positional battle.

When Yao Ming was in position, Alston did not hesitate and immediately hoisted the ball inside to Yao Ming.

Facing Kwame Brown's defense, Yao Ming dribbled the ball inside and hit it high!

Odom and Walton immediately stepped forward to double-team!

But this time, Yao Ming just feinted and quickly passed the ball to McGrady on the outside before their double-team was formed!

There was no one in front of McGrady, so he opened his hand and shot!

Just call in!
