Chapter 45: Come on, kill me
At the same time that the Boston Celtics are having a headache about the combination of a tiger cub and a drug dealer.
Zach Randolph had already fired up champagne in the locker room.
With the financial crisis coming, Apple's stock price fell a bit more today
Randolph now threw almost his entire net worth into it. Because the little tiger told him: "If Apple's stock price can break through the triple digits in the future, you will get a tenfold return." β
This made Randolph eat like crazy, and whenever the apple fell, he would excitedly open the champagne.
To be honest, there were quite a few people in the locker room who thought he was an idiot and couldn't understand his brain circuits. It's like Monta Ellis, who has been emphasizing that you should not throw your money into the stock market and that you should buy a little gold.
This is his view of financial management.
He likes to wear a gold necklace around his neck.
Of course, there are also people who agree with Randolph's financial philosophy, after all, the little tigers are crazy to throw money into it, and it always makes sense.
Stephen Jackson and Dacomi Richsy, plus Darius Myers in the hospital bed, both invested a lot of money.
"Listen, Stephen, Darko. Don't cry with a sad face. Time will tell you everything, we will become billionaires! β
Randolph poured a glass of champagne for both Mirisich and Jackson.
At this time, the little tiger couldn't help but remind them: "Listen, man. No one can stop you from becoming a billionaire, but drinking in the locker room is forbidden. And there is a penalty to pay. β
"Do you understand what I mean? I said I wouldn't pay you these stupid fines. β
Little Tiger stared at Randolph.
Zach laughed, and he looked up and took a sip, "Hey, buddy, I'm going to be a billionaire right now." I'm not going to put $2,000 on my eyes. β
This guy got a little carried away.
The little tiger gave him a blank look.
He wasn't particularly vocal in his opposition to Randolph drinking champagne in the dressing room, not a high-numbered drink, after all.
Compared to the fact that he openly 'flew leaves' in the locker room back then, this damage is not worth mentioning.
"OK, since you have the money, let's drink."
Little Tiger shrugged his shoulders and told the manager, "Thomson, write it down, two thousand in one bite." Let him write a check after the game! β
"Hahahaha!"
Randolph laughed heartily.
He actually started going round and round.
When a fat black man of more than 300 pounds carries a wine bottle and turns in circles, the picture is as ugly as it is.
The little tiger even turned his back, but his teammates were loudly cheering for Fat Lan, telling him that he was really good-looking.
This made the little tiger a little suspicious: Did I give them freedom too much?
Poof!
As soon as he had the idea, he heard a loud bang and the floor shook.
The little tiger turned around, and Randolph's screams came, and when he looked down, he was already lying in a pool of blood, and his left arm had been cut by the fragments of the wine bottle, a cut about thirty centimeters long, and the flesh had been turned over, and blood was pouring out.
The team doctor rushed over to deal with it, and then rushed Randolph to the hospital for stitches.
The cheerful atmosphere in the locker room froze instantly, and Randolph sent himself to the hospital in a comical form.
"This kid is crazy to make sports headlines."
Stephen Jackson looked at the blood on the ground and said angrily: "This is probably the most humorous and bizarre injury in the history of sports." β
The little tiger sneered and said, "Hurry up and buy stocks." Randolph blessed Apple with a blood sacrifice, and the stock price will definitely continue to rise in the future. β
His joke finally diluted the heavy atmosphere in the locker room.
However, the facts before us are already very clear.
Without Randolph, tonight's game will be difficult to play, and even this series will be full of suspense.
β¦β¦
Drip!
The whistle blew.
The third quarter begins.
After some revisions, the Lakers still haven't given up on their three-high lineup.
On the Golden State Warriors' side, they can only put on a small defensive lineup such as Kwame Brown, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes, Michael Petrus, and Little Tiger.
This lineup is very mobile, and it can suddenly pick up the speed on both the defensive and offensive ends.
But... Phil Jackson was smart and he didn't get the team moving to play. With the exception of Derek Fisher, the remaining four all implemented the sit-down and back-to-back singles strategy.
Kobe Bryant finished playing with his back and passed to Pau Gasol with his back to play.
Gasol turned his back and handed it to Odom, who in turn handed it to Bynum.
The Lakers have become very patient... It was almost at the end of the whistle that the basketball was sent out...... Swish!
Kwame Brown was a little too gentlemanly when dealing with the baby shark.
Then, the Golden State Warriors launched a thunderous fast attack, and the little tiger rushed to the front court like lightning, forced into the restricted area, and forced the basketball out of the gap between Lamar Odom and Black Mamba...... Swish!
"Tiger played very unscientifically tonight."
Earl Johnson said from the commentary podium: "He went into heads-up time too early, and he wanted to use fast running to drain the physical strength of the Lakers' three interior players. But in reality, his own physical exertion was greater. It's not like it's a protracted war! β
"Yes. They should use Zach Randolph on the court for another quarter, which would make the Lakers more passive. Kenny Smith said.
The game goes on.
The Lakers still held their ground and even abandoned the triangle offense. It's just that he keeps invading the Warriors' defense with his back.
The Warriors are strong defensively, but... Height is an insurmountable gap.
Therefore, the Lakers, who played with spirit, frequently succeeded.
The Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, seem a little monotonous, and can only rely on the little tiger's constant assault and ball sharing to create damage.
77:82γ
The Lakers continued to extend their slim lead in the third quarter.
They look effortless, and their scoring points are all open, whether it's a three-high, a black mamba, or an old fish from beyond the three-point line. In the third quarter they all had a win.
On the Golden State Warriors' side, only the little tiger carried the whole game.
At this, Phil Jackson frowned. He didn't know what the little tiger wanted to do next, the impression left by the little tiger was always that he was surprisingly successful, as if he had never played according to the routine.
The reason why he didn't go to Zach Randolph was because he wanted to give us a fatal blow at the last moment?
His head is constantly circling strategy.
There's no way back for him, and if he can't win tonight, the Lakers will stop there.
β¦β¦
"The game in the third quarter reminded me of the Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers battle back then, and tonight's Tiger is very much like the original AI." Earl Johnson said on the commentary stage: "The Lakers' three-high lineup adds up to the Sharks of the year. And the black mamba is still the black mamba. If Little Tiger wants to beat the Lakers this way, then all I can say is... He was so naΓ―ve. β
"He had to bring in Zach Randolph in the fourth quarter, and now the Warriors only have Zach Randolph with the ability to carry the ball inside."
Earl Johnson suggested.
Both Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley agreed.
They all thought that if they didn't play Zach Randolph, the Lakers would take the game away in waves in the fourth quarter as the Little Tigers' fitness weakened. After all, the Lakers' powerful turbine engine has been started, and once it is on the right track, the Golden State Warriors will not be able to stop it at all, and will be crushed strongly.
However, the drop!
When the whistle blows, the fourth quarter begins.
The Golden State Warriors still haven't replaced Zach Randolph, and they even traded Kwame Brown for Mirisic and Radmanovic.
At the same time, the Lakers have made changes.
They replaced Bynum and replaced Lamar Odom. With Paul Pierce on the court, Phil Jackson decided to test the Little Tiger's hole cards with a fast-attacking lineup!
No one can deny the wisdom of a Zen master.
His basketball IQ is even among the highest in history.
But sometimes he just tends to overthink it.
What can Pau Gasol, Luke Walton, Ariza, Kobe Bryant and Vujacic do?
Why temptation?
Little Tiger was ecstatic when he saw the Lakers on the court.
It turned out that he had not been able to find an opening to break the deadlock, but now Phil Jackson personally sent it to the door. He is clever but he is mistaken by cleverness!
At the beginning of the game, Little Tiger directly stole Vujasic, and then ran wildly, completed a quick block with Stephen Jackson in the front court, and passed the ball straight to Radimanovic who slipped to the bottom line.
Radmanovic catches the ball and throws it...... Swish!
Three-point hit!
Subsequently, the Lakers launched a fast break. But Pau Gasol's dunk was directly interfered with by Jackson, Mirisichi grabbed the rebound and passed to the little tiger, who attacked in a straight line and rushed to the front court with lightning...... Pass the basketball to the follow-up Mirisic with an exaggerated ground-hitting pass, and Milicichi catches the ball and scores with a one-handed smash!
The Zen master realized that something was wrong.
But he habitually hesitated.
So he gave the Warriors two more offensive chances.
10οΌ0γ
In less than two and a half minutes of the opening game, the Golden State Warriors played a small climax of 10:0 and successfully overtook the score.
At this time, Phil Jackson finally got the exact news: "Zach Randolph fell in the locker room, had his wrist cut by a red wine bottle, and was in the hospital for emergency suturing surgery." I won't be able to play tonight! β
At that moment, he jumped up from the bench in anger.
Hurry up and request a pause.
He never dreamed that the reason why Little Tiger didn't play Randolph in the third quarter turned out to be this.
He didn't think much of Randolph's injury at all.
Who would have thought?
A good player who is not injured on the court and returns to the locker room only to have emergency surgery on himself, there is no precedent for this in the NBA, right?
Phil Jackson felt like he was being tricked.
At this time, the T-NT trio also had a 'black question mark' face, and they also got the news as soon as possible.
"Randolph was injured in the locker room? And was he cut on his wrist and arm from a wine bottle? Estimated to require 70 stitches? β
One news after another, Earl Johnson felt like his head was about to die: "How did he do it?" How can a normal person be cut by a red wine bottle for such a long time? Still have so many stitches? β
This matter seriously exceeded the boundaries of his thinking.
Charles Barkley also felt ridiculous, but he said: "I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened to Randolph, after all, he was able to attend his aunt's funeral in a nightclub." What else could he not do? β
"The problem now is that his injury will have a direct impact on the Golden State Warriors' advancement. Originally, the probability of the Golden State Warriors advancing to the Finals was more than 80%. But now... I think there are less than thirty-five percent left. β
Kenny Smith used two pieces of data, and he wanted to be more professional.
But in fact, everyone knows that black people are different about mathematics. Their ability to use numbers is not even as good as that of Chinese kindergarten children.
However, the meaning of his words is still clearly expressed, because of Randolph's bizarre injury, the Warriors' hopes of advancing to the Finals have been seriously reduced.
β¦β¦
When the Boston Triumvirate in front of the TV got the news, the mood immediately deflected.
"I really hope that the little tiger can successfully eliminate the Lakers tonight." Paul Pierce lamented.
Without Darius Myers and Zach Randolph, the strength of the Golden State Warriors has weakened sharply, and a small tiger alone cannot defeat the Big Three.
KG agreed, and he folded his hands: "I am willing to lend my luck to the little tiger for the time being." β
Ray Allen emphasized: "If the Golden State Warriors can't win this game, then they will also lose this series." Tonight is their best chance to advance, and once missed, the Lakers won't give them any more chance of promotion. β
Ray Allen was very sober.
His thoughts are the same as those of Little Tiger.
Little Tiger also believes that tonight is the last chance, and once he misses tonight, the Lakers will not give themselves any chance to sneak up in the next game. A Zen master makes mistakes, but he doesn't make the same mistakes.
"Seventy stitches for that Randolph kid? So much? β
Stephen Jackson was concerned about another question: "So he's going to be reimbursed for the whole season??" β
The answer given by the team doctor is yes.
Although Randolph's injury this time was not serious, it did not hurt his muscles and bones. But... It takes a long time to cultivate, after all, his fat body is pressed against the glass shards, and it is not only the skin that is scraped open, but also the flesh, and the deepest part is almost bone.
In his situation, he will have to rest until at least after the draft.
"He can finally concentrate on stock trading."
The little tiger muttered angrily.
Then he clapped his palms and said, "Guys, we have to win tonight." We only have this one chance! β
Little Tiger called on his teammates vigorously.
At this point in the game, there was only one option left to fight the bayonet.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
The Lakers have no way back.
Neither did the Warriors.
"Stephen!"
"Michael!"
"Darko!"
"Kwame Brown!"
"Follow me! Stand up to their defence and score every goal. β
"Come on!!"
The little tiger put his hand in the middle, and the hands of the other four hurriedly caught up.
123, come on!!
Morale is like a rainbow!
This Warriors is different from the two teams that Little Tiger has been on before, this is a team that will show their fangs even when they are in a desperate situation, even if they are surrounded by black muzzles.
Morale, hard work!
It's never something the team should worry about.
β¦β¦
"Now the Golden State Warriors don't have Darius Myers, they don't have Zach Randolph. The two nails they pierced in our paint area have been removed, and if we win tonight's game, we will have a good ride to the finals! β
The Black Mamba also loudly motivated the players on the bench at the other end.
"I want you to call out the beast from the bottom of your heart, for glory, for dignity, for victory, to fight!!"
The Black Mamba is sharp and imposing.
All of his team members put their hands on the back of his hand, and then shouted one, two, three, come on!!
Drip!
The whistle blew. Players from both sides take to the court.
Everyone is ready to fight against the odds.
It's all done at this point, and no one wants to give up the pace of moving forward.
"You're lost, Tiger."
The Black Mamba told the little tiger seriously: "You don't want to win the championship until I retire." β
Little Tiger also had a serious expression, and he replied to the Black Mamba seriously: "You think too much." β
The eyes of the two were full of high-spirited battle fire.
At this moment, they are all thinking about the same thing: kill each other!
Derek Fisher quickly brought the ball over.
Petrus charged up at the first time and entangled Fisher, who could not move an inch, and the Black Mamba could only quickly go over to answer.
As soon as he received the basketball, the little tiger became entangled.
"Come on!"
The little tiger glared fiercely into the eyes of the black mamba: "Kill me!" β
