Chapter 188: Wounded into battle
At this time, Ji Liang stood up and returned to the locker room with the team doctor, where he was to undergo a simple examination.
At the same time, the referees discussed it a little and quickly decided on the penalty against Wallace.
Unsurprisingly, Wallace was again awarded a first-degree malicious foul, and in a single game, a player was awarded two first-degree malicious fouls and qualified for ejection.
Shhh
Amid intense boos and curses, Wallace's chest rose and fell violently and he left the court with his head down.
As he walked into the tunnel, several radical fans threw 'garbage' at him, including cell phones, cans, etc.
Hit by the 'garbage', Wallace clenched his hands tightly, almost lost control of his emotions, and finally took a deep breath and did not continue to expand the conflict.
But before leaving, he picked up the phone on the ground and stuffed it into his coat.
In the home team's dressing room, after a brief check-up, the team doctor quickly came up with a preliminary diagnosis.
The team doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and Chi Liang also injured his finger, and there was no fracture, just a finger contusion.
For a player, even if it is just a finger contusion, it is an extremely troublesome thing, and whether he can continue to play is a question.
Taking a step back, even if he plays, his level of competition is bound to be affected, at least his right hand cannot shoot, even if he dribbles.
In addition, the recovery period of finger contusion is relatively long, even if the finger contusion recovers, you can not move casually, because in the recovery period after the finger contusion, it still needs a certain amount of time to consolidate, so that the body can recover faster after the finger contusion.
Therefore, based on this, the team doctor believes that Ji Liang should not continue to play, and if he continues to play, it is difficult to ensure that the injury will not worsen.
"I want to keep playing and finish this game! Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I'm well aware of my situation and I can't joke with my athletic career! ”
Chi Liang felt it, the injury was not serious, and because he had both left and right hands, he still had the strength to fight.
In order to continue playing, he began to argue with the team doctor.
It was also around this time that D'Antoni returned to the locker room with several Nuggets players.
After executing a free throw and a throw, it also represents the end of the third quarter of the game. They had a 130-second break before the start of the fourth quarter.
What Chi Liang said to the team doctor, they naturally heard it, and they all showed expressions of admiration.
D'Antoni pressed Chi Liang's shoulder and said loudly: "Chi Liang, you have to listen to the team doctor and recuperate from your injuries, instead of continuing to play!"
This series is very important for the team to make it to the Western Conference Finals.
In addition, it is also a matter of interest, if you can play a few more games, whether it is the ticket fee or the broadcast fee, it is a lot of money.
"We have a long time coming, you don't have to work so hard, if it affects your athletic career, it won't be good! As for the game, leave it to us, we won't be afraid, even if we don't expect it, we will try to kill the Blazers! ”
Van Exel patted his chest vigorously as he spoke, looking relieved to have me with you.
"Even if the injury is not serious, it is not a good thing to go into battle with an injury, you better listen to the team doctor!"
Billups also persuaded on the sidelines, and others also began to express their opinions, thinking that Ji Liang did not need to continue to play, and they would definitely be able to win this game.
Under the persuasion of the coach and teammates, Chi Liang was not easy to refuse, but he still said to D'Antoni: "Coach, if, I mean, if the situation is not in our favor, I hope you can let me play!"
D'Antoni did not immediately agree, but communicated with the team doctor to understand Ji Liang's injury.
"Well, I promise you! However, you also have to promise me that you must not be reckless! ”
After making sure that the injury was not serious, D'Antoni nodded and finally chose to agree.
"I know, Coach!"
After D'Antoni agreed, Chi Liang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said that he would follow the coach's arrangement.
Due to time constraints, D'Antoni left the locker room with his players and began to prepare for the fourth quarter.
As for Ji Liang, he continued to stay in the locker room, and the team doctor began to deal with his injury, which will take some time.
Soon, the fourth quarter began.
From the perspective of the situation, the Nuggets have a slight advantage in the score, but due to Ji Liang's injury, the situation is not in their favor.
Whether it is the coach or the players, they are very aware of the importance of Chi Liang to the team, and without Chi Liang's Nuggets, the strength will undoubtedly drop a notch.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers also lost Wallace, but although Wallace is important, it is not irreplaceable and has little impact on the strength of the Trail Blazers.
"This game is won!" After the players came on the field, Dunleavy said to himself.
In Dunleavy's view, without Chi Liang and McDyes, the Nuggets are no different from the bottom team.
No matter how high the morale of the players is, it is still difficult to beat the Trailblazers without the corresponding strength.
It was not unexpected, even if the Nuggets tried their best, but after all, there was an obvious gap in strength, and they were quickly overtaken by the Trail Blazers.
Van Exel was very anxious, he promised Chi Liang to kill the Trailblazers, but although he was strong, it was difficult to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Trailblazers.
He didn't admit defeat and kept working hard!
But it was still suppressed.
After Chi Liang was injured, the Trail Blazers 'took good care' of Van Exel, not only with Stodameyer's close defense, but also with extra care on the inside.
The current Nuggets offense is dominated by outside projection, but the Trail Blazers' defense is strong, which makes them inefficient.
In this case, even if Van Exel played hard, he could not avoid being overtaken by the Trail Blazers, and then began to have a tendency to widen the point difference.
82:87
In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Chi Liang left the locker room, and after the treatment of the team doctor, the index finger of his right hand was no longer painful, but it was difficult to contract.
Of course, if you touch something, you will still feel pain.
Ji Liang sat on the bench and watched Van Exel sweat, getting rid of Stoudeyer again and again, and scoring with pull-up jump shots and baskets.
As for the other teammates, they are also doing their best, trying to cover for their teammates and compete for every rebound.
It's just that because of their strength, they are still at a disadvantage.
"Coach, please let me play!"
Looking at Chi Liang's resolute eyes, D'Antoni nodded silently and sent Chi Liang back up.
Due to the backwardness of the home team, many fans were depressed, but after Ji Liang returned to the field, their emotions instantly rose, even if their voices were hoarse, they still tried their best to cheer for the players.
"Oooooo
"Praise be to you, you are a warrior! You are the child of miracles! ”
……
The fans were excited, and Ji Liang won their appreciation by going into battle with an injury, and his image undoubtedly became even taller.
