Chapter 284: Accidental Injury
Big Van Gundy originally thought that he should be fine with this push, how to say that Turkoglu is also an All-Star player, and his psychological tolerance should be stronger than that of ordinary players, so that he can block the bombardment between fans and the media, and he will also think about his future and big contract in the future, it is expected that he will not say anything discouraged, otherwise which team will dare to sign him with a high salary in the future?
But I didn't expect this thing to really give up on himself, and now the hot potato is back in the hands of Big Van Gundy, and he did tell himself that he didn't want to be the starter, and he exposed this matter to the outside, and then, without Tekogru, what did he use to replace the Turks who served as cannon fodder? You can't use Petrus, right? Big Van Gundy felt that the black and hard death was faster, and if the Turks were abandoned, even if he deployed a large number of troops to surround and intercept Totoro on the defensive end, what about their magic on the offensive end? Howard has become a simple pie-feeding center in front of Yao Ming, Nelson has only developed his breakthrough ability, and it has always been the conscientious Turkish agent who mobilizes the team to pass the ball, and now that Turkoglu has fallen, it is equivalent to the Magic's engine is broken, and this engine does not have a spare one, so how can they compete with the Rockets?
Big Van Gundy is very miserable for this, but the game is still coming as scheduled, the third game of the finals is about to start at Amway Arena, what Big Van Gundy doesn't know is that he is thinking hard about how to defeat the Rockets, and the Magic fans in Orlando are also very miserable, they are struggling with whether they want to go home to support their team, they can't see a little hope in this finals matchup, this level of despair is stronger than when playing against the Celtics, With a total of 64 points lost on the two road trips, is there any interest in this kind of matchup? I'm afraid that I won't rush out of the Eastern Conference finals to send a championship to the Rockets!
In fact, many Lakers fans are also worried about this, thinking that if their Lakers can defeat the Rockets, most of today's championships will fall on their Purple and Gold team.
The league has always been strong in the West and weak in the East, the pattern is not just to say, in the All-Star, the Eastern All-Stars have rarely defeated the Western All-Stars, especially in the Finals, as if the Eastern Bulls and the Celtics dynasty have taken advantage of the luck of the East, since the 20th century to the present, it has been 9 years, only the Pistons and the Green Shirts in the temporary group have mixed two championships in the East, and the other details have fallen into the hands of the Western Giants, there have been rumors that the West Final is the Finals, as long as anyone rushes out of the West Finals, Basically, nine times out of ten they can win the O'Brien Cup, and the eastern team is just going through the finals, and it is true that the analysis from big data is true, now the championship ratio between the east and west is 2 to 6, and it is estimated that it will become 2 to 7 after this year, and the east really can't make up a few decent teams.
However, at the last moment, most of those Magic fans still chose to enter the arena with their tickets, of course, they all brought a few extreme speed pills in their pockets in advance, so as not to eat two to slow down when the team fell behind, and a large number of them came here purely to not waste their dollars, anyway, they all paid for this season's season tickets, and it would be a waste of money not to watch it, so why not treat it as a performance game?
At 9 o'clock in the evening on June 15th, Totoro and his Rockets appeared on time in the Amway Stadium for a pre-game warm-up, and there was a small episode before they arrived on a charter flight.
Although he is a real brainless fan of Magic, and the United States is a country that advocates free speech, his blog has broken the law, and Totoro and Rockets players can sue him for deliberate attempted murder, even if everyone knows that he is just a poor person who has been driven crazy by the home team, if people like Totoro and Da Yao want to spend money to get him, this fan can't eat and walk around.
The Magic fan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and although he quickly deleted his blog, his blog comments had long been attacked by fans of the Rockets and Totoro, many of whom were very conscious, and took screenshots before he deleted the blog, and ran to Totoro's Facebook to express his willingness to provide evidence for this, which also made Totoro cry and laugh.
Although he was a little angry after seeing this Weibo, he couldn't afford to compete with an ordinary person, in the final analysis, he was just a magic fan who loved basketball very much, and a small part of the income from his games was contributed by him, and the away team could also get a very small part of the harvest from the tickets, in other words, he was also one of his many food and clothing parents, and Totoro couldn't go to him to see him in general.
"Please also ask the Rockets fans and my fans not to spray him, we are safe, and now we have arrived at the tavern where we are staying in Orlando, please rest assured, even if we really encounter a big storm as he said, we will crash into Amway Arena, and we will also smash it on the head of the Magic team!"
My Neighbor Totoro is now a Facebook celebrity, and his Twitter and blog followers in the United States have skyrocketed to more than 10 million, although not all of them are Americans, but according to survey statistics, almost one in five young Americans will pay attention to Totoro, and almost one in every 20 Americans of all ages will pay attention to Totoro's dynamics, which is already a great achievement, after all, he is yellow-skinned, but he has conquered 1/20 of the United States of America composed of black skin and white skin.
And this is not the most hanging, Totoro opened Sohu Weibo and QQ account in China some time ago, the number of views and attention has also broken through the sky, there are special agencies to count Totoro's Chinese account about 40 million people are paying attention, each of his public information has great commercial value, there are many businesses with a keen sense of smell have seen the commercial benefits in this regard, they will now spend money to buy Totoro's personal dynamics, such as advertising their products on it or something, As long as the effect of one sentence may be better than the effect of spending a lot of money to invite a celebrity to come and shoot an advertisement!
Some time ago, James tweeted 50,000 US dollars, and Totoro was only worth about 2-30,000 US dollars, but now even if you give Totoro 50,000 US dollars, he will not do it, and now it is not worth the price at all, and Totoro himself has established a lot of companies, he has this time to advertise for others, it is better to build momentum for his own company, and a fool will build momentum for other hostile companies for a little profit.
At the beginning of the game, the players of both sides symbolically embraced, the substitutes left the court, and the Rocket Magic began the third game of the championship.
Big Van Gundy had no choice but to put the Turk in the starting list in the end, because he was really unavailable, but Turkoglu didn't have to take the blame, he said that he was not Totoro's opponent, which would make him go up and be abused and cause the team to lose It was the coach and not his own responsibility.
This time the league did not play any tricks on the home court of the Magic, this year has almost exposed two games, and now every pair of eyes are staring at the referee's position on the cusp, the most important thing is that this year's team gap is too big, and the referee wants to help vaguely It is not easy to start, My Neighbor Totoro's emergence has changed the pattern of the league dramatically, and it has also disrupted the script that the league originally arranged.
But this change is a change on the good side in David Stern's eyes, the NBA has become more attentional, and it has greatly developed the Asian market he has always wanted to develop, and the most important thing is that the Rockets are not dominant, and so on in 2010, almost all the superstars of the league 03 generation have reached the contract period, and then the league is another big purge, the superstar huddle is predictable, and the Rockets can not successfully create a dynasty, who can become the biggest dark horse on the road to the Rockets defending the title, The league will never be short of topics!
In the first quarter, there was an accident in the game, the first two offensive and defensive two invincible Totoro, today in a breakthrough dunk wanted to play handsome, stuck in the air to avoid Howard's block one-handed dunk, but those who have played basketball know that although the one-handed dunk looks more chic than the two-handed dunk, but the safety is not as stable as the two-handed dunk, Totoro landed on the ground and stepped on Lewis's instep, and his ankle twisted fiercely at the moment.
If it's just the usual jump shot, Totoro may not be a big problem when he twists this time, as long as it's not someone else's deliberate foot, he basically won't have any impact, but this time it's different, he broke through Turkoglou, dodged Howard's block to find an angle to dunk is already the end of the strong crossbow, no matter how good his physical fitness is, he can't really fly, and it's more dangerous to break when he is exhausted than when he is full of strength, Totoro fell to the ground holding his ankle on the spot.
The Rockets fans in front of the TV gasped, and Adelman ignored the rules on the basketball court and rushed directly into the court with the team doctor.
My Neighbor Totoro is the biggest guarantee on their way to the championship, just like fans can believe that the single-core team can bring the team to the finals, but they don't believe that the little giant with the single-core team can bring the team to the finals, Totoro is the biggest core of the Rockets, and if you hurt that player, you can't hurt him!
"My neighbor totoro, how are you feeling, do you have free movement of your ankles?"
The team doctor was nervous to stay by Totoro's side, he didn't dare to touch Totoro's feet directly with his own hands, the injuries of the players who were padded can be big or small, bad luck not only season reimbursement will also directly affect the athlete's career, people with small injuries can continue to play as long as they apply ice packs off the field, so the team doctor must first ask Totoro's feelings before making a decision.
"I'm fine, it just seems to hurt for a while at first, and I feel like I can get up and walk around on my own, so I can slowly continue to play."
My neighbor totoro got up in a cold sweat and touched his ankle, fortunately, his core strength and flexibility are good, although he lost his strength, he was still able to control his center of gravity at the moment of Wei, and did not put too much pressure on his ankles, although this time it looked very serious, but Totoro felt that he should still be able to fight.
"Nonsense! If you're hurt, give me a good rest! What kind of game to play, give me a closer look at the dressing room, you don't have to play in this game. ”
But he thought it was useless, it was the head coach who was in charge of the life and death of the players on the field, Adelman immediately lowered his face and scolded.
In the eyes of the old coach, Totoro's health is even more important than his life, even if it is overturned 2-4 in this year's finals? This is only his first season, and judging from his phenomenal performances so far, Totoro has a bright future. He's definitely a once-in-a-century absolute cornerstone of the team, losing this year, they've got next year, and the year after, and the year after that, and they've had countless chances to challenge for that damn championship, but the first thing is for Totoro to stay healthy.
"But, coach, I'm really fine, if we win this game again, we will win the championship, my teammates are struggling, how can I be a spectator?"
But Totoro is still persistent, and his words are not unreasonable, there are still examples of 0-2 being overturned in the NBA Finals, a few years ago the Mavericks were still a living negative teaching material, but the example of a 0-3 reversal has never appeared.
Of course, don't listen to Totoro's beautiful words and think that he is really so great, in fact, Totoro is staring at the FMVP of the Finals, his performance in the playoffs this year is the best one of the Rockets, and the Finals have contributed 30+9+8 data so far, just his data with the Rocket's four consecutive wins, FMVP can be said to be 100% his, and there can be no accident.
However, the other members of the Rockets are not roundworms in Totoro's stomach, and the straight Yankees do not have as many flowery intestines as the Chinese, they only feel that Totoro is fighting for them, after all, no one in their current configuration has tasted the championship.
"Cat, you have a good rest, and we'll take care of the rest! I know you're great, but we're not vegetarians either, and we're going to teach those Orlando guys a good lesson. ”
"yes, cat, you used to carry us, now it's our turn to work hard, this is everyone's championship, the team is not just paying you a salary, it's time for us to show ourselves."
