Chapter 447: If you relax, I'll go crazy

The intermission was long, fifteen minutes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

During this time, the players can go back to the break room to rest.

When the players came to the lounge, Xiao Ran couldn't pretend anymore, and sat on the chair with his fingers covered, with a painful expression on his face.

The players of the Nets immediately noticed Xiao Ran's state and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Xiao, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"

"Oh my God! How are your fingers swollen like this! When did you get hurt? ā€

"I didn't find it, could it be on the way to the lounge just now?"

"Oh my God, Xiao, you must be fine, otherwise in the next two quarters of the game, without you, the Thunder's defensive focus will definitely shift, don't look at us now leading by ten points, but in the next game, we may not be able to guarantee this advantage." ā€

The players' fears are not unfounded.

In basketball games, the difference of ten points is not too big, sometimes there is a small climax, and ten points can be recovered in minutes, and this situation is not uncommon in the strength of the game, basically every game, this situation will happen.

Vanderwig also hurriedly walked into the lounge at this time, and he followed the team's team doctor.

After coming to the lounge, Vanderwich hurriedly asked Xiao Ran: "How about the finger injury, it's not a big deal." ā€

After asking, he hurriedly said to the team doctor behind him, "You hurry up and help Xiao take a look!"

At this time, the team members, you look at me, I look at you, and I also found that the problem is wrong.

If Xiao Ran was really injured on the way to the lounge, then Vanderwig would not have known about it at all, and he would not have called for a team doctor so soon.

But before, they really didn't see Xiao Ran injured, and there was no problem during the game.

Vanderwich looked at the team doctor who had already examined Xiao Ran, and also explained: "Actually, Xiao Ran was already injured in the first quarter of the game, but considering that if Xiao Ran goes off the court, the Thunder team's defensive focus will shift, so Xiao Ran has endured it, didn't you find that at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Thunder team deliberately looked for Xiao Ran to attack a few times, Xiao Ran also deliberately dunked once, and then scored a single three-pointer?"

Listening to the head coach's explanation, the players suddenly understood, and their eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Ran.

Judging from the thickness of his fingers, Xiao Ran's injury must not be light.

Basketball is another project that often uses hands, dribbling requires hands, shooting, and defense, but Xiao Ran can still maintain a good performance in the case of a finger injury, what kind of pain does he have to bear!

In this case, Xiao Ran also scored 17 points in the first half of the game.

After the team doctor examined it, he said: "This injury is a misalignment of the joint, but it is not a big problem, as long as you rest for a week, you can do it, but there can be no strenuous activity of the fingers within this week, and after a week, you can recover as before." ā€

Listening to the words of the team doctor, Vanderwich suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that Xiao Ran could hold on until now, and the injury would not be very serious, but after hearing the final confirmation, he still couldn't help but relax.

Vanderwig asked Xiao Ran: "Xiao, will you continue the next game? This is just a preseason game, and winning or losing is not so important." ā€

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a simple misalignment, whoever plays basketball has never suffered this kind of injury, just hold on, anyway, as long as I'm there now, the Thunder team won't dare to let me attack, as long as I score a goal from time to time to prove that I have the ability to attack, there is no big problem." ā€

Vanderwig frowned: "But your hand ......"

"It's really okay, it's half a game ahead, wouldn't it be a pity if you give up at the last moment?" Xiao Ran pursed his lips and laughed, and then the finger guard that the team doctor handed him was on his index finger.

Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't want to rest, Vanderwich sighed and didn't refuse.

Because he can see that as long as he doesn't force him to be replaced as a coach, Xiao Ran will definitely not go to rest.

Since he can insist, let him insist, which is also a typical attitude of the United States.

In China, victory or defeat is far less important than the body, in the United States, as long as you feel that you can, without affecting the follow-up games and physical health, when a person decides, the coach often will not refuse.

After all, individual heroism is more popular than teamwork in the United States.

There is no one good or bad in these two attitudes, it can only be said that they are two different styles.

There were fifteen minutes of halftime, and for these fifteen minutes, Xiao Ran sat there and listened to Vanderwig explain the tactics behind.

After the break, the game resumed.

Before going on the court, the players all looked at Xiao Ran in unison, and then walked onto the basketball court to prepare for the game.

In the third quarter of the game, the Nets continued their previous good form.

In addition to Xiao Ran's injury, the players are embarrassed to play soy sauce, the whole team seems to be integrated at this moment, on the offensive end, full of tacit understanding, exquisite passes one after another, the Thunder's defensive focus must be on Xiao Ran, and there is no way to the overall outbreak of the Nets.

Five minutes into the third quarter, the Nets extended their lead once again, stretching the margin to 14 points!

A 14-point margin is not so easy to catch up.

However, the Thunder were under pressure, and Billy Donovan could only ask the players to relax their defense against Xiao Ran and set aside some defensive forces to watch the players of other Nets.

But just after Billy Donovan's order was given, Xiao Ran immediately began to take the initiative in the frontcourt, facing Russell Westbrook, who was not strong in defense, Xiao Ran shot the three-point line again and again, and the result was four of six shots!

This time, the difference between the two teams widened again, and it came directly to 18 points!

Billy Donovan felt like he was going crazy.

Defensively, the rest of the Nets players were also playing at a super level, but when they gave up on Xiao then, he was able to immediately put the Thunder under great pressure on the outside.

With 8 of 12 shots, Xiao Ran's three-point shooting rate was simply against the sky.

Xiao Ran's three-point shooting rate in this game was not as good as the 90 percent shooting rate in the last game against the Rockets, but it still had a shooting rate of more than 65 percent.

This shooting percentage is already very high in the NBA, and many superstars can't take care of having such a high shooting percentage in the game, and I'm afraid that the shooting rate is the same in the three-point competition.

In short, in the face of Xiao Ran, the head coach of the Thunder team also felt that he was helpless, and he really hoped that it would be good if there was a defensive master in his team......
