Derek's dribble suddenly made a mistake because Derek's dribble was so wide that he didn't pull it and the ball went off......

Derek said no, and quickly took a big step, trying to pull the ball back......

At this time, Derek's face suddenly darkened, covering the inner thigh of his right leg, and sat on the ground in pain.

The ball went out of bounds......

The members of the Fortune Team immediately came to Derek's side to see how Derek was doing.

I saw Derek sitting on the ground in pain, his hands covering his inner thighs, and his head was already sweating.

"How does it feel?" Meng Xiaohao asked eagerly, now that they can't tolerate any more injuries.

"I felt a tearing sensation!" Derek squeezed the words out between his teeth.

Meng Xiaohao's face immediately turned dark, and the feeling of tearing was very likely to be a torn ligament, if this was really the case, it would be very difficult to do.

The team doctor also arrived immediately to check on Derek's condition.

Derek got up, clutched his inner thigh in pain, and came to the sideline, apparently trying to stretch to see if it was torn or simply stretched.

The game went on while Derek crouched on the sidelines numerous times before getting up, with the Fortune team doctor standing beside him to inquire about his condition.

Derek's injury made the momentum of the Fortune Team drop down in an instant.

The current Fortune team can't afford to get anyone injured, and now, Derek's injury is a headache for everyone on the Fortune team, and they hope that Derrick is just a simple strain.

In the end, Derek found that he still couldn't continue the game, it was too painful, and in the end, he had no choice but to return to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.

……

Now, the heavy responsibility of the Fortune Team's offense is on Meng Xiaohao alone.

Coach Garcia quickly called a timeout, and he wanted to rearrange the tactics, a tactic that had to be tailored for Meng Xiaohao.

Now, with Derrick and Middleton out of the court, Meng Xiaohao can only take the lead on his own, and in the face of a strong Royals, Coach Garcia must make adjustments.

Meng Xiaohao is no exception, although he has replaced Middleton and returned to the position of the second scorer, but this time he returned to the position after the first score, I don't know if Meng Xiaohao can adapt to it.

And the responsibility of the second scorer was also handed over to Kobo, which was the first time that Kobo had his own offensive tactics on the offensive end.

'Derek's injury is still unknown but we must not be demoralized, we have to play our quality, Derrick and Middleton are not on the pitch and we have to play our own style!'

Coach Garcia encouraged the rest of the team.

In fact, he himself is a little uncertain, Middleton's injury has already given him a headache, and now that Derek is also injured, he feels that his idea has exploded.

"Let's go for it, our goal is still the championship!"

When Garcia sold this sentence, he was a little unconfident in his heart.

"The Fortunes of New York!"

“Fight！”

……

The game continues......

Meng Xiaohao walked to the field, faced the well-staffed Washington Royals, looked back at his fortune team that lacked major generals, and took a deep breath......

When Meng Xiaohao slowly exhaled that breath, a very terrifying momentum erupted from his body, like a lion......

Lucas obviously felt the momentum exuded by Meng Xiaohao, and couldn't help but tremble.

"Meng Xiaohao, are you going to turn on your own switch?"

Meng Xiaohao has not been the team's top scorer for a long time, and this feeling is something he has not felt for a long time, and it is a feeling that he has not felt for several years.

Absolute right to shoot.

Since coming to the league for his third season, the Fortune Players have signed Derek, Middleton and Kobo, and Meng Xiaohao's shots have been greatly reduced.

Meng Xiaohao made a lot of shots in the first two seasons, but Meng Xiaohao's shooting rate was not high, so he didn't average many points per game.

But as the time in the league increased, Meng Xiaohao's shooting rate also began to rise, although it was a high number, but this was achieved by an excellent shooting rate.

This time, Derrick and Middleton are both injured, and Meng Xiaohao is going back to his first two seasons......

He's going to start and dominate the game......

……

Obviously, Meng Xiaohao still has some discomfort with the change of role.

The sudden change in his role in the team made Meng Xiaohao still a little uncomfortable, and he would still involuntarily pass the ball to his teammates and find his teammates.

But it's not any teammates, it's Middleton, it's all Derrick.

The hit rate of other teammates is not very high, so Meng Xiaohao passed out a lot of opportunities, but his teammates did not grasp them, and the low hit rate was scary.

In the end, the Washington Royals won the game and got the Eastern Conference Finals off to a good start.

The defeat in this game was expected by Coach Garcia, and Derek's injury is unknown, which must have made the team's momentum drop.

And Meng Xiaohao is still not comfortable with the change of role, and it is expected that he will lose.

But losing one game doesn't mean anything, the Eastern Conference Finals is a best-of-seven system, and this is not a crazy March, not a single-game elimination system.

After the game, Derek's injury report came out, it was a groin pull, and he needed to recuperate for three weeks, which means that Derrick would miss the Eastern Conference Finals.

So now, the responsibility of leading the Fortune Team to the finals has fallen to Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao will have to show enough dominance to lead the Fortune Players to the finals.

……

"Xiaohao, is it okay?" Coach Garcia is very concerned about Meng Xiaohao's current psychological state.

Hearing this, Meng Xiaohao smiled, "Coach, didn't I come over like this in the first two seasons when I first came to the league!" Trust me, I'm fine, I'm in a good mood! ”

Coach Garcia nodded.

"I'll try to find the feeling, trust me, it won't be long!"

Meng Xiaohao's words can be regarded as a reassurance to Garcia, if Meng Xiaohao can't lead the team, then the Fortune Team on the right track will be completely finished.

"Okay, I'll wait! Hope you do it soon! ”

In fact, Meng Xiaohao is also under a lot of pressure, he is still very easy under the offensive bombardment of Derrick and Middleton, but now it is still very difficult for him to change his role.

But no matter how difficult it is, it still has to be changed, after all, the future of the team this season is in their own hands.

Meng Xiaohao took a deep breath and stabilized his heart......

"Come on! Take a gamble! ”
