Chapter 328: The Return of the King
The Lakers' rotation lineup is very average offensively and defensively, but neither is strong. When several Grizzlies stars scored consecutive hero goals, they were also a little overwhelmed.
The Grizzlies still turned their lead into double digits at the end of the third quarter, and the Lakers were overwhelmed on both ends of the floor.
At the final intermission, Robert and Vali were eager to go back to the tunnel to ask about Zhang Yi. But they were all stopped by Wacker, because the game is not over yet, and the most important thing for a professional player is to focus.
That being said, the most worried about Zhang Yi's situation may be Wacker as the head coach. Because it was his dominant arm that was injured, the worst case scenario would be a month or two recovery period if there was a bone problem.
The Grizzlies are still arrogant, the first in the West, just a group of soft eggs. Doug, who had made a bad move, sat in the center of the bench and talked and laughed like a hero.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Hawley waved his hand and brought Doug, who had already been charged with a physical foul, to the court again. This scene also made several players on the Lakers team angry.
"Damn, you still dare to play?" Although Robert was much thinner than him, he immediately greeted him and said viciously. And before his hand touched Doug, the latter shook his shoulder and knocked him away.
The referee didn't immediately notice their clashes, but when Robert was about to continue to pester the garbage, the whistle blew, this time just a warning.
Vali stepped forward and told Robertra to stop causing trouble while Zhang Yi hadn't returned. Although he also hated a player like Doug, as Wacker said, the first task now is to win.
The Lakers have already lost the lead, and with the core not there, if they are ejected for making trouble again, then this game is really over.
Robert came back to his senses when he heard this, but he was still trash-talking to Doug.
If it were any other manager, it would be a headache to have such a messy player on his team, but one of the things that Hawley likes most about Doug is his jerk personality.
It is an absolute truth that a poor look can be used to arouse the anger of the opponent at such a time, and once the player loses his mind, the game can be easily won.
Sure enough, as he said, because his attention was all on Doug, he made a low-level mistake of dribbling to his feet after receiving the ball......
"Haha, garbage, you can't!" Doug's words directly made Robert angry and wanted to rush to teach him a lesson. The referee blew the whistle again, and because Doug raised his hands the whole time as if he was fine, he only blew Robert for a technical foul.
There was also a lot of boos at the scene, and a newcomer like Robert was indeed too tender, even if he had been playing on the field for many years. Don't talk about Duffy's trash, even the middle finger of a fan off the field can make him furious now......
Wacker didn't take him down because the team needed him to score in this period, and if he had maintained double digits until the final few minutes, it would have been possible for the Grizzlies to run out of time with the Grizzlies' rogue manipulation.
The Lakers' five players on the court are now in a mess, with Vali pressing Robert to calm him down while Oscar negotiates with the referee. His meaning was clear, a slap didn't make a sound, if Doug hadn't done anything, how could Robert suddenly be furious.
But because the referee didn't see it, he shook his head and pretended not to hear. The Lakers then went back to their own half and watched the Grizzlies hit free throws.
There were also cheers at this time, which is usually the case when victory is established. In the eyes of the audience, the Lakers without Zhang Yi are not worthy of the first record in the West at all.
And not to mention 10 points, if the Grizzlies play normally, it is possible for them to play directly in the fourth quarter.
It's just that the time they rejoice is too short. Just as the tunnel walked out of the tunnel was a man wearing the Lakers' purple and gold No. 0 jersey with black arm guards on his arms......
"Zhang Yi! Zhang Yi is back! The on-site commentator said excitedly, because looking at his appearance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his body.
Zhang Yi's expression was very excited and determined, and it could be seen that he didn't take the injury to heart at all, and his eyes completely fell on the display screen above the court.
"Ten points behind? Well, what the hell are Robert and Vali doing?! Zhang Yi sighed, then raised his arm and high-fived Robert and the others who had paused. The powerful swing lets everyone know that there is nothing wrong with the team's boss's body.
Wacker didn't ask anything more, because since Zhang Yi appeared here, it meant that he was ready to take responsibility for his choice!
The most angry person in the audience was Doug, and he thought that he could directly beat Zhang Yi to cry with one elbow, because his power was still very strong, which the rest of the Grizzlies team had also learned.
"Pretty lucky, isn't it?" Thinking so, he said to Holly, "Give me another chance, and I will make Zhang Yi disappear again!" ”
This time Hawley didn't know what was going on in his head, he didn't nod or speak, and there was no substitution at the end of the timeout.
Doug now understood what the coach meant, he was ready to become a villain, so doing it once was no different from doing it countless times.
Zhang Yi returned to the court, facing Doug who maliciously knocked him off the court, his expression was extremely cold, without a trace of anger, because there was no need to be angry about this kind of garbage.
"Wouldn't it be nice to lie down obediently?!" Doug said fiercely. Zhang Yi squinted and replied, "It's time to brush your teeth, bastard!" ”
"Damn!" was suddenly sprayed like this, Doug subconsciously closed his mouth, and then glared at Zhang Yi with a pair of bull's eyes.
When the Grizzlies attacked again, he was once again on his back to catch the ball and ready to do it again.
It's just that he underestimated Zhang Yi too much, because his attention was all on the small movements after turning around, and Doug was too lax when he received the ball, and he didn't expect Zhang Yi to suddenly reach out and steal the ball around the front......
"Damn, that's too fast." And Doug noticed that Zhang Yi was using his right hand to hit him hard, "How is it possible?" I've used all my strength and he's not hurt? ”
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Yi had already dribbled through the half court with the ball. Speed was not the advantage of the Grizzlies' rotation lineup, so they almost watched Zhang Yi fly and score a violent dunk!
"No injuries at all! That invincible Zhang Yi is back! The on-site commentators all stood up excitedly, because how many strong rookies have fallen on injuries, and Curry Jr.'s successor? The degree of physical toughness is also a big item in the score, and now, Zhang Yi has proven that he is not a glass man......
