Chapter 386: The NBA's Most Terrifying Injury!

The match with the top teams in the West proves the strength of the Magic itself, they are indeed among the top teams in the league, and it is not a fluke to win the championship, however, if you want to successfully defend the title this season, I am afraid it will not be so easy, especially the Spurs, the opponent, who easily won the Magic in the absence of Ginobili in the Spurs, and Popovich knows Sun Zhuo very well and knows how to limit him.

Therefore, this season's regular season MVP, Sun Zhuo must get his hands on it in order to improve his ability again before the finals.

It didn't take long for the Magic to usher in the game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the current Clippers are not the "empty city" team that Sun Zhuo is familiar with, the Clippers do not have any star players at the moment, but there is a person that Sun Zhuo cares about, Sean Livingston.

On the eve of the game against the Clippers, Sun Zhuo lost sleep because of Livingston, a person who has nothing to do with him, and he has been thinking about a question, that is, will Livingston be injured like in his previous life? What can be done to prevent this accident from happening again?

"I don't want to see Livingston go through that life again, it's so miserable, so badly injured, abandoned by various teams, so many years of hard work to get a chance, that's too cruel for an athlete."

Thinking of Livingston's bumpy experience in his previous life, Sun Zhuo couldn't bear to let him go through it again, so he wanted to help him change his fate, and in his previous life, Livingston was injured in January 2007.

"I never know exactly when he was injured, but I can remember that it was this month, Livingston is not injured yet, but it should be soon, how can I stop him from getting injured again?"

Sun Zhuo feels that Livingston's injury will still happen, just like Maddie has not changed because of Sun Zhuo's arrival, if you want to prevent Livingston from being injured again, the safest way is to let him stop playing this month, as long as he doesn't play, he will be fine.

To keep him out of play, either get him injured early or get him suspended.

Livingston entered the league later than Sun Zhuo, and the current status disparity between the two makes it impossible for Livingston to make a move against Sun Zhuo even if Sun Zhuo provokes and humiliates Livingston.

"Is the only way to get him injured early? Or do something in private? Is this guy? ”

For this thing that did not happen, but was about to happen, Sun Zhuo was very powerless.

Until the next day's game, Sun Zhuo still didn't know what to do, after all, Livingston is a member of the Clippers, and he can't sacrifice too much for him, and the Magic will also take the first place in the East this season.

Seeing Livingston again, Sun Zhuo felt that there was no change in him, and from his unsmiling expression, he could still feel his tenacity and tenacity, but Sun Zhuo always felt that Livingston before and after the injury were two completely different people.

"You don't look like you've made much progress." Sun Zhuo took the initiative to keep an eye on Livingston and unceremoniously evaluated Livingston's performance in the past two years.

Livingston averaged 7.8 points and 5 assists per game in his rookie season, not only did not improve but regressed last season, and this season, it is only better than his rookie season.

Livingston was speechless, he knew that it would be no good to spray a star of Sun Zhuo's level, but in his heart, he said silently: "I've been working hard, I've improved, but you can't see it." ”

If it's really a superstar, it's impossible to play in the third season and still be so obscure, Livingston is no longer so important in the eyes of the team, this is Elton Brand's team.

Livingston's silence made Sun Zhuo even more unsure of what to do, Sun Zhuo even expected Livingston to get angry at him and then fight with him or his teammates, but Livingston was so quiet, quiet like a lake without a trace of ripples, just there, people didn't want to bother.

"I'd better not do anything to him, maybe, in this life, he can avoid that kind of disaster." Sun Zhuo chose to abandon his plans for Livingston.

However, less than five minutes after this, a shocking scene appeared to everyone!

The Magic team attacked, Sun Zhuo held the ball at the top of the arc, but was cut off by the focused Livingston, after Livingston stole Sun Zhuo, he was very excited, and immediately started the fast break and went straight to the basket!

Sun Zhuo is very fast, it is difficult for Livingston to completely get rid of Sun Zhuo, Livingston naturally knows this, so this time the fast attack is also desperately rushing forward, Sun Zhuo saw this posture, he originally had a chance to block Livingston, and instinctively gave way when he shot, but the tragedy still happened.

Almost the same as the injury scene in his previous life, it was also a fast-break layup, but when he landed, his body leaned slightly to the right, and he landed a lot earlier than expected, just like a step into the air, his left knee was bent violently!

β€œoh,Jesus!”

The last thing Sun Zhuo wants to recall is Livingston's injury, the video of the injury in his previous life, he only watched it once and didn't dare to watch it a second time, even if it was uploaded to YouTube by netizens, the NBA also asked the website to delete it on the grounds that the picture was too tragic, this injury was called one of the most terrifying injury pictures in NBA history!

However, in this life, Sun Zhuo saw this scene from the closest distance, Sun Zhuo knelt on one knee on the spot, just like Wade knelt down on one knee to pray for his opponent when Hayward was injured in the 2017 Cavaliers Celtics game.

The audience couldn't bear to look at them at all, many parents with children covered their eyes with their hands, and some women even cried on the spot.

"I'm done, I'm done." Sun Zhuo heard it and fell next to Livingston, who screamed and muttered to himself with tears in his eyes.

Livingston's shouts were heartbreaking, Sun Zhuo was beside him, but he kept his eyes closed and prayed, he didn't dare to look at him at all, no one had ever seen such a serious injury, the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee were ruptured, the lateral meniscus was torn, and at the same time there was recurrent patellar dislocation, anterior tibia decapitation and dislocation, and the only good news was that there was no need for amputation.

"Sun." When Livingston was lifted on a stretcher, Howard and others also came over and comforted Sun Zhuo, "Sun, don't do this, everyone doesn't want this to happen, it's not your fault." ”

Even Brand, the opponent of the Clippers, stepped forward and said to Sun Zhuo: "Although Josh Howard and those people have questioned your character, I know you didn't want to hurt Sean. ”

Everyone thinks that Sun Zhuo became so depressed after Livingston's injury because he blamed himself for his own defense that caused Livingston to be injured, in fact, Sun Zhuo knew that even if it wasn't for him to defend today, Livingston would have experienced such an injury.

"You'll be fine." Sun Zhuo got up and walked over to Livingston on a stretcher and said to him, just like he said to Karl Malone in the playoffs the first year.

Sun Zhuo decided that he wanted to use a repeat challenge card for Livingston, he couldn't let Livingston get injured again and experience those pains again, if Livingston wasn't injured in front of his eyes, maybe Sun Zhuo wouldn't be so determined, but seeing this with his own eyes, Sun Zhuo couldn't be so ruthless as a spectator.

Repeating challenge cards may be precious, championships may be important, but life is bigger than basketball, and life is even bigger than basketball.

After Livingston's injury, Coach Hill saw that Sun Zhuo was very unstable, so he immediately replaced him and comforted him.

When the game was over, Sun Zhuo did not hesitate to use a game repeat challenge card, this season, he only had three, and after using this one, he only had two left, which means that the margin for error in the playoffs is even lower.

After the game restarted, Sun Zhuo walked to the Clippers' bench as soon as possible, looking very serious, at this time Mike Dunleavy, who had a "dirty deal" with Sun Zhuo, was still the head coach of the Clippers, Sun Zhuo walked up to Mike Dunleavy and said in a commanding tone: "Don't let Shaun Livingston play today, not for a minute, otherwise, I will score 100 points today." ”

Mike Dunleavy knows some about Sun Zhuo, the two have met in private, he has never seen Sun Zhuo so serious, Sun Zhuo has scored 81 points in the face of the Clippers before, although Dunleavy has the element of "releasing water", but now Sun Zhuo's strength is stronger, if you really want to score 100 points, I'm afraid it's not a joke, even if you can't get it, maybe there will be no problem in refreshing Kobe's 82-point record.

Mike Dunleavy hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sun, what's wrong with you?" Did Sean mess with you? ”

When Shaun Livingston heard this, he immediately stepped forward, he knew that Coach Dunleavy was afraid of Sun Zhuo, and asked Sun Zhuo, "Why don't you let me play?" I haven't offended you at all, and you don't have the right to do that. ”

Sun Zhuo's emotions were still not withdrawn when he was injured just now, and he said coldly to the intact Shaun Livingston: "Sean, you don't need to know why, you never need to know." ”

Sun Zhuo turned around and left after speaking, he knew that Shaun Livingston would never know what Sun Zhuo had done for him, and would even hate him for it, it didn't matter, Sun Zhuo was worthy of himself.

Mike Dunleavy still did what Sun Zhuo wanted, Sun Zhuo is currently the first person in the league, his threat is very effective, Livingston did not play the whole game, and the Clippers were easily defeated by the Magic.

Soon, the January game was over, and the Magic had a lot of strong away opponents in the West this month, but the overall results were still excellent, and Sun Zhuo was still the favorite for the league's MVP.

If the Magic team can maintain such a winning rate in February, then Sun Zhuo, the regular season MVP trophy, can be said to have won half of it.

On February 13, the Magic challenged the Portland Trail Blazers away, which was also close to the All-Star Game.

"Sun is once again the All-Star Ticket King, and he's a basketball star, a movie star, and a singer, and his popularity really leaves everyone else far behind."

"That's right, what's even more rare is that he can still surprise everyone every year, but the All-Star Game is coming soon, this time I'm going to Las Vegas to play, and now the Magic record is so good, why don't you feel too excited? You look at Dwight Howard's excitement, and he's so happy to be an All-Star this year. ”

Trail Blazers fans also like Sun Zhuo to play and pay special attention to him, and they are right, Sun Zhuo is indeed in a mediocre mood and does not have the excitement of participating in the All-Star Weekend soon.

"Sun, haven't you thought about the moves you want to perform in the slam dunk contest?" Howard also saw that Sun Zhuo was a little worried, and excitedly stepped forward to hug Sun Zhuo's neck and asked, Howard, this guy was about to jump up at the thought of participating in the All-Star Game soon.

"I've already thought about the action of the slam dunk contest, you can prepare a hundred expressions of amazement when the time comes, and the camera will definitely cut to you." Sun Zhuo replied calmly.

"I saw that you were listless, and I thought you were stressed, but the judges of this year's slam dunk contest have not yet been decided, isn't it strange? Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are all confirmed to attend, and the league has also invited Vince Carter, but he hasn't replied whether to go or not, I hope he refuses, this is to prevent him from worrying that you will overtake him and give a low score, haha. ”

Sun Zhuo chuckled, the dunk contest will start in a few days, and now the list of judges has not been determined, which is indeed a little weird, but Sun Zhuo is not worried about this matter now, but tonight's opponent, Brandon Roy.

Like Livingston, Roy is also a genius ruined by injury, he can be called a genius more than Livingston, Sun Zhuo has just experienced Livingston's injury, he is a little worried now, will Roy also be injured in the game today, he doesn't want to see Roy injured, on the one hand, he can't bear it, on the other hand, ......

"I only have two challenge cards, but I can't use them for anyone else!"

Livingston and Roy are both players that Sun Zhuo likes to admire, but they can't always sacrifice themselves to help others, but once they really encounter that kind of big injury, Sun Zhuo can't die without help......

"Sad." Sun Zhuo started the game with a worried heart.

Roy is a rookie this season, and the first-year Roy is very ferocious, now averaging 16.8 points per game, and is the player who will win the Rookie of the Year this year.

Today, when he met Sun Zhuo, the first person in the league, Roy played more energetically, he was not afraid of being coquetted by Sun Zhuo, and broke through to the basket again and again, just to prove to everyone that he was not worse than Sun Zhuo.

"He's averaging less than half of my points per game right now, so anyone with a good eye should know the gap between him and me, right? Forget it, I won't teach him how to be a man in this game, I don't want to see him do those dangerous moves in order to win me. ”

Sun Zhuo took the initiative to give up the competition with Roy, and deliberately pretended to be injured when he fell, and was replaced for a break, but in fact, Sun Zhuo didn't do anything at all.

"Is he hurt?" Roy is also a little confused, but now that the All-Star Game is approaching, even if it is only a minor injury, he should indeed be cautious and not play again at the next break.

Sun Zhuo sat on the bench and watched his teammates play with the Trail Blazers, thinking that Howard would easily lead the team to victory, who knew that this guy only cared about the excitement of the All-Star, and his concentration was very inattentive, and he didn't play dominance at all, and he was dragged to overtime by the opponent.

In overtime, the two sides still fought fiercely until the last moment, seeing that the Magic was only one point behind 111:112, and Sun Zhuo, who had rested for nearly three quarters, suddenly asked the coach: "Let me play again." ”
