Garivetti hurriedly stepped forward to check on O'Neal's injuries.

"Seriously?" Bryant's face was solemn and he asked again and again.

"It's serious, and it needs to be treated immediately with ice fixation, and the specific injury depends on the MRI, at least for now, we must not let the injury get worse." Gariverti said cautiously that in his opinion, O'Neal's injury is very unoptimistic.

As an athlete, there's nothing more debilitating than watching a teammate suffer a serious injury.

Kobe Bryant asked the court staff to get a large wheelchair, he didn't dare to carry O'Neal on a stretcher, O'Neal's weight was too dangerous to use a stretcher.

The Lakers players and team doctors were busy and finally got O'Neal into the locker room.

Now — the Lakers are going to get on with their game without the team's boss, Shaq O'Neal.

...

"What? Shaq is injured? Old Bass got a call from Jerry West and couldn't believe it.

"Yes, the left knee injury, the specific injury and severity of the injury team doctor can't be determined, it's certainly not a minor injury." West is helpless, the team is on the right path, but the captain actually has a problem, how will this be a blow to the Lakers?

Kobe Bryant showed that he has superstar-level strength next to O'Neal, so without O'Neal leading the team alone, will he fall like Penny Hardaway?

Even if they can still maintain the superstar performance, the strength of the Lakers team will take a serious hit.

Who is the Lakers' backup center? Tyrese Knight!

A second-round show that the Bulls can't look at!

The Lakers are the weakest of the five Tigers!

With such a white soft-ass center, letting him take O'Neal's place, it is a bit of a headache to think about West.

"Hurry up and arrange the team doctor and take him back to Los Angeles for a series of examinations, and Shaq must not have physical problems."

"I know, it's being arranged." After that, West hung up the phone and immediately contacted the most authoritative doctors and sports rehabilitation experts in Los Angeles, West has his own set of contacts, and he can find the most suitable medical personnel for athletes in Los Angeles.

...

The referee blew the whistle for the game to restart, Kobe Bryant shook his head and suppressed all thoughts, at this time, all the others did not have to think about, all to do was to win the game.

Without O'Neal's Lakers, Kobe Bryant is not unexperienced!

Single-core leader, what to fear!

"Guys, for Shaq!" Bryant yelled.

"For Shaq!" The Lakers players, who were originally a little flustered, found confidence in Kobe's roar.

That's right! Even if there is no Shaq, we still have Kobea!

For Shaq! Win the game!

The Lakers' momentum is reunited.

The Lakers' roster made changes, with Harris bringing Tyrese Knight on the court to replace Shaq O'Neal's center position.

The game continues.

Los Angeles Lakers 61:54 Seattle SuperSonics.

Payton dribbled forward, and Kobe Bryant pounced directly and fiercely!

"This kid, so aggressive?" This time Payton was almost broken, and Kobe Bryant's outburst made him take two steps back to avoid being stealed.

"Beep! Return violation! "The referee blows the whistle.

Peyton angrily rackets the ball to the referee.

"Kobe! You're finished! You're going to lose this game! Without O'Neill, you're a piece of shit! ”

Kobe snorted coldly, hoping you can still talk trash after the game.

After O'Neal's absence, the Lakers' starters were directly missing two players, and now Fisher and Tyrese Knight are both rookies and do not have too strong scoring ability.

The only team Bryant can rely on is Eddie Jones.

Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Kobe Bryant at the top of the arc.

"Eddie!" Kobe Bryant had to spark Eddie Jones' aggressiveness, and the opposing team's Detreve Schramf hitting Jones was misplaced, and why not when Jones hit the other side?

Bryant passed to Eddie Jones and waved his hand, signaling him to single.

Eddie Jones' role for the Lakers this season has been the third offensive option, mostly off-ball cuts and spot-up shots, with very few heads-up rounds, even fewer than the Fan Maniac on the bench.

For this role, Eddie Jones is done very well. Suddenly let him single, although he was a little surprised, but still broke through Schramf and scored.

Kobe nodded, Eddie Jones, who was born as a point guard, is very comprehensive, even if he is a role player this season, but the basic misplaced singles can still be done.

Los Angeles Lakers 63:54 Seattle SuperSonics.

Payton learned to be smart this time, and after halftime, he handed over to Hawkins, Hawkins hung the basket and went to Kemp, Kemp dribbled twice, knocked away Tyrese Knight, and forced a dunk!

Camp opened, which is very bad news, losing O'Neal's barrier, the Lakers' interior defense ability has dropped by at least two notches.

63：56！

Jones continues to play singles! After breaking through, Fisher split the ball in the bottom corner, and Fisher seized the opportunity to hit a three-point shot!

66:56 The difference was 10 points.

"What's going on, they don't have O'Neal, what are you guys fighting??" George Karl's roar on the sidelines even made Kobe Bryant look sideways.

The supersonic players concentrated, and after shouting, they worked harder on both ends of the floor.

Hawkins and Kemp played a pick-and-roll, perfectly cut through the defense of Fisher and Tyrese, and scored an easy layup under the basket.

The Lakers' next few offenses began to be a little dumb.

Eddie Jones' singles were disrupted by the SuperSonics' interior defense.

The SuperSonics took the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks, and Hawkins and Kemp's pick-and-rolls were very popular. They found that the Lakers' loophole was Fisher and Tyrese, two rookies!

Although they have a certain aura and talent, their defensive experience is too weak.

Los Angeles Lakers 74:71 Seattle SuperSonics.

At the end of the third quarter, the 10-point difference was chased to 3 points.

Kobe Bryant was still accumulating energy and didn't explode in the third quarter as usual, because he knew that the Lakers without O'Neal would inevitably collapse at the end of the game if he consumed all his physical energy in the third quarter!

"Coach, change to Ben!" Kobe Bryant bluntly said that Tyrese Knight simply doesn't have the ability to play against a team like the SuperSonics, which is obvious.

Harris pondered for a moment and agreed to Kobe's request, originally worried that Big Ben's height would be suppressed by the other party, but no matter how miserable it is, it will not be worse than the current Tyrese Knight.

"Coach! Look at me! "Big Ben finally got his chance to perform, and if he can take it, he could be the Lakers' interior pillar to replace O'Neal's vacancy.

There was no rest on either side in the fourth quarter, there was no way back in this game, it had to be won!

The Lakers' lineup has been adjusted, becoming Xiaoyu, Kobe, Jones, Campbell, Big Ben!

Kobe Bryant is quite satisfied with this lineup, and when Bowen returns from injury and replaces Fisher, it will be a historic defensive lineup!
