Chapter 88, Give Me the Ball.
Roy, who was on the field, also knew that there was a problem between Xue Ding and McMillan.
But he didn't have time to pay attention.
The pressure on the Lakers is too much.
Now it's just about winning the game and dealing with it after the game.
With 2:01 left in the game, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot.
The difference between the two teams was stretched to 6 points.
Xue Ding watched the situation on the field intently from the sidelines.
He was anxious, but he couldn't do anything.
At 1 minute and 52 seconds, Roy received a pass from Fernandes at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and dribbled to a mid-range shot.
In the past of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant did not score two points from a distance.
1 minute 03 seconds, Roy broke through to the layup and scored again! The two sides are only two points apart.
At 52 seconds, Bryant's lean mid-range after a single hit missed.
In 16 seconds, Roy pulled a single Kobe Bryant, broke through Kobe Bryant with continuous direction change shaking, and threw forward in the three-second zone.
Basketball kills one stone!
Roy also fell to the ground.
107 to 107.
At this point, the Trail Blazers' bench jumped up in celebration.
Xue Ding was also enthusiastic when he watched the game.
However, Roy, who fell to the ground, covered his right knee with both hands and slapped the floor hard.
"Ah.......h
Seeing Roy's pained expression, the referee immediately blew for a stoppage of the game.
Xue Ding, who was sitting in the seat, saw Roy covering his knees, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Roy didn't have much confrontation this time around.
"Don't get hurt!"
Xue Ding sat in his seat and prayed.
Xue Ding clearly remembers that since last season, Roy's knee has felt severe pain, and after a doctor's examination, they found that Roy's meniscus cartilage has worn out very badly and has to undergo surgery again.
Then, at the end of the regular season of the previous season, Roy underwent meniscus repair surgery.
In order to return to the game as soon as possible, the Trail Blazers ultimately decided to have Roy remove some of the cartilage that remained in the meniscus.
Although Roy eventually made it to the playoffs with this treatment, the Trail Blazers were eliminated by the Suns in the first round of the playoffs, and Roy was in terrible form in that series.
This time it was his knee that was injured, hanging!
Roy, with the help of the team doctor, stood up, his arms on the two staff members ready to go straight back to the locker room.
When Roy passed by Xue Ding's side, he shouted loudly at Xue Ding: "Xue, this game is handed over to you, don't let me down, you must win." β
The moment he heard Roy's voice, Xue Ding was relieved of McMillan's resentment.
It's Roy's choice.
Xue Ding wants to win the game now.
Xue Ding looked at Roy and nodded seriously.
Roy then returned to the locker room.
............
The big screen at the scene replayed the moment of Roy's injury again and again.
This time the Lakers fans didn't boo.
Injuries are relentless.
Today's Roy showed the demeanor of the Trail Blazers boss and the superstar of the league, scoring 46 points in the game.
Roy's injury and retirement made the Trail Blazers' starters really go to four out of five!
The Trailblazers came to a hard time.
"God is very unkind to Portlanders."
'It's hard to imagine that this is their fourth starter this season who has been injured.
"Now that I think about it, it's a miracle that they can get the first record in the league, and the outside world comments are too harsh on them."
"This time the Trail Blazers are not easy to deal with, but the most important player on the team is injured, and McMillan has to find a way."
"What else do you want, go to the Chinese, McMillan has no choice."
"You don't have to think about the Lakers' last attack, it must be in Kobe's hands, although his shooting percentage has dropped so much, but you still don't dare to let him shoot."
Ross Barkley and Smith are analysing the situation on the pitch for the fans.
.............
"Woooooooooo
"It's a knee again, Roy, it's definitely not a minor injury, pray."
"Xue Ding, it's time to stand up, don't pass the ball."
"Stupid coach, fuck Roy, refrigerate Xue Ding, now it's okay, Roy is wasted."
Domestic netizens who watched the live broadcast also sprayed.
................
When the electronic beep sounded, Xue Ding was sent up.
As the narrator said, McMillan had no choice.
The Lakers fielded a five-star lineup.
Kobe, Odom, Artay, Gasol, Bynum.
On the Trail Blazers' side, Xue Ding, Fernandez, Webster, Aldridge, and Pulbizla.
"Lore!"
"Lore!"
"We're number one in the West."
With just 16 seconds left before the end of the game, fans at Staples Arena were back on the field.
All eyes were on the bald No. 24, including the Trailblazers.
"Defend this ball!"
Xue Ding said to all his teammates.
βOKοΌβ
Roy is not there, and Xue Ding is the leader of the pioneers.
Although Ade is older, this is a matter of temperament!
Lakers offense.
There weren't many surprises.
Odom passes the ball to Bryant on the sidelines.
Bryant catches the ball at the top of the arc and starts dribbling to observe.
Xue Ding took the initiative to greet him.
The player here has the best defense.
Xue Ding did not act rashly.
In this era, Bryant should choose a two-point finish.
Kobe Bryant's eyes also looked at Xue Ding, and the sweat on his forehead remained.
Bryant didn't know why his physical exertion was so huge.
Just now, he couldn't make three consecutive shots.
This time the shooting is going to be a little harder.
10γ9γ8γ
With 8 seconds left, Bryant started to kick in.
Seeing Kobe move, Xue Ding directly forced him to rush over.
Kobe Bryant dribbles behind a back.
Change of direction.
Xue Ding has completely kept up with the speed of Kobe Bryant today.
The aggressive is also constantly triggered.
After a few minutes of cumulative triggering in the fourth quarter, plus Kobe Bryant's own age.
Xue Ding kept up with Kobe's speed and rhythm, and successfully forced Kobe to stop at the free throw line and the top of the arc.
In 5 seconds, Kobe Bryant shook a void, and Xue Ding raised his hands and did not move.
In 4 seconds, Kobe Bryant threw out a backlash with his life!
Xue Ding also pounced desperately!
Kobe's shot angle has been almost completely blocked by Xue Ding.
But Kobe's leaning back and shooting angle still allowed him to widen the distance between him and Xue Ding, and he successfully shot.
The basketball can fly past Xue Ding's fingers and towards the basket.
Xue Ding has done his best to defend, and he can only hope that Kobe Bryant will not score this goal under the influence of the aggressive.
But according to the law of ferric tetroxide, Kobe Bryant's first three shots have not entered, so the fourth shot should go in.
Your sister.
What the hell's law, don't go in!
Xue Ding shouted in his heart.
"Huh!"
The sound of the Nets rubbing against the basketball sent Staples into a riot.
107 to 109.
βKobe ββββBryantβ
The crazy shouts of the DJ, coupled with the restless music, made the scene hilarious.
Stallone and Beckham also stood up excitedly and high-fived each other.
"Quasi-lore."
"Black Mamba."
They witnessed Kobe Bryant's quasi-lore !!!
Bryant also raised his hands in the air, enjoying the celebratory hugs of his teammates.
The goal was scored.
The remainder of the race was 2.8 seconds.
McMillan called out his last timeout.
Xue Ding walked back to the bench with a cold face, too unlucky.
The law of terror.
Lay out the tactics.
According to the assistant coach's reminder, McMillan found that Fernandez had the highest shooting percentage today, while Xue Ding's shooting rate remained at 25% today, the lowest in the game.
So he decided to set up his tactics around Fernandez.
The last attack can be three points, two points.
Just as McMillan was about to draw a tactical board, Xue Ding saw that it was not for himself, and immediately yelled at McMillan.
"Give me the damn ball!!"
