(Chapter 179: Hurting Wade and Falling)

PS: The hand slipped.,I sent it out without writing the chapter name.,I don't have the authority to change the VIP chapter.,Wait for me to ask the editor for permission to change it.,Forgive me!

The atmosphere between the two sides was very good before the game, but after the game started, all the friendliness was fake, and it was a tough battle.

The Heat's strongest point of attack is shooting guard Dwayne Wade, and this game will be difficult to play. In order to defend Wade, Jackson, who defends well, must focus entirely on the defensive end, and the offensive pressure is all on Lee and O'Neal.

Perhaps due to the fatigue of the journey, O'Neal was not in good shape this time, and he did not put the ball in the basket on several singles.

The Heat's center is Udonis Haslem, who is not tall enough as an interior lineman, but he is fierce defensively, aggressive in rushing for rebounds, and is not afraid to fight against O'Neal's basket at all. Coupled with O'Neal's bad hand, this has caused the Warriors' interior offense to stagnate.

As a result, only Li Zhi can rely on breakthroughs to continue the life of the Warriors in the starting lineup.

The Heat's Wade was even more aggressive, holding the ball in succession to get inside, scoring points in the face of O'Neal and Barnes, and causing two fouls on Barnes in the first quarter.

Nelson could only replace Milicic, but the situation did not improve, and the new team leader Beasley was physically strong and would use his physical advantage to attack Milicic, so the Warriors' power forward position was also at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

Wade performed bravely, facing Stephen Jackson's entanglement, but he got stronger and stronger, scoring 16 points in the second quarter, and the Warriors trailed by 13 points at 20:33 in the first quarter.

Shaun Marion also did a good job of defending Richie, and the Heat were wrapped up from time to time, with Richie scoring only 7 points in the first quarter.

Li Zhi was a little depressed, this Wade is too perverted, Stephen Jackson can't prevent him at all.

After winning the championship in '06, Wade established himself as a superstar, and then, like James, became a sought-after star in the league. Wade is very good at using the referee's penalty scale to buy himself a chance, and in the last season when he was recovering from injury, Wade realized "Wade fell".

In this game, Wade repeatedly broke through the interior line to seek physical confrontation, O'Neal and Barnes touched Wade in the first half of the quarter, this guy fell back wittily, he fell down, but he felt very good, and put the ball into the basket when he lost his balance.

This is also Wade's good health, if he is replaced by an ordinary physical fitness, he can fall out of a heart attack in a few strokes.

After the Warriors switched to the bench in the second quarter, the situation did not improve. The Heat kept Sean Marion on the court in the second quarter, and in the Suns' years of experience, Marion's excellent ability to fight is good, so in the second quarter of the Warriors' bombardment rhythm, Marion is like a fish in water.

The Heat bench also has a DaQuan Cook, a rookie in the same year as Rich, who played for the University of Oklahoma in college and was the right-hand man of Oden and Michael Conley at the time, and has good physical fitness.

In addition, like Marion, he has a three-point shot with a shooting rate of more than 40%, which helps the Heat quickly steal points in a short period of time.

The Heat's second team didn't suffer at all when it came to the Warriors' bench.

In order to win, Nelson only let Li Zhi rest for five minutes before sending Li Zhi on the court, wanting Li Zhi to follow Wade to chase the score. But as soon as Li Zhi came on the court for 2 minutes, something unfortunate happened......

Beasley, who had just come on the court, broke through with the ball to the inside, Li Zhi hurriedly assisted in defense, Beasley didn't look at people, and stepped on Li Zhi's ankle after jumping, Li Zhi's first thought was over......

This is a key part, the most feared filling position for athletes, as great as Kobe Bryant has been reimbursed for the season because of an ankle problem.

Li Zhi returned to the locker room step by step with the support of his teammates, and received a call from Avril, who has never watched the game, and when the call came, she panicked on the phone, crying and asking Li Zhi if he was seriously injured.

Li Zhizheng asked the team doctor to check it, and said with a grin: "It's okay, it's just a little painful, it hasn't become lame, it's definitely okay to do something shameful." ”

Avril suddenly said shyly: "Are you still in the mood to joke in this situation?" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Otherwise, don't worry, I think I will be able to reply soon." "Li Zhi is still confident in the Super Saiyan's physique, and even if he is injured, he can heal.

Avril said angrily, "Shut your crow mouth and listen to what the team doctor has to say." ”

"Well, okay, then I'll hang up first."

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhi saw the team doctor Merkel looking at him with an ugly face, and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

"Lee, the situation is not as good as imagined."

……

Because of an accident, Li Zhi did not play again in this game, and he only scored 7 points and 2 assists in the whole game, which made the Warriors once again lack an offensive strong point.

The Warriors lost the game 99-109. Li Zhi was injured, the Warriors players were not in the mood to play, and O'Neal had a bad hand, and the Warriors were like a plate of loose sand, constantly being scored by the Heat.

The Warriors' losing streak ended in Miami, and Lee felt that it was too unlucky, and Beasley's kid would definitely blow him up if he was met again.

After a comprehensive examination by the Warriors team doctor, Li Zhi's ankle injury was not a major injury, just an ankle sprain, but the situation was quite serious, the muscles were swollen, the capillary wall was ruptured, and it would hurt his heart when he hit the ground slightly, and it would take at least more than 50 days to repair.

As soon as the results came out, Nelson thankfully this was the best result, and although Rich's absence was bound to affect the Warriors' record, it was much better than a fracture, not to mention a more serious Achilles tendon rupture, which affected an athlete's career.

Soon, Li Zhi's injury was officially announced by the Warriors, this announcement really shocked many fans, many people only saw Li Zhi's slump on the court, and did not know what Li Zhi's actual situation was, thinking that this may seriously affect Li Zhi's career development.

The domestic media blew up the pot, Li Zhi is the hope of Chinese basketball, and now that Li Zhi is seriously injured, fans who don't know the internal cause have begun to worry about Li Zhi's situation inexplicably.

Warriors head coach Nelson has also been questioned, and many experts have begun to accuse Nelson's tactics of "ruining" athletes, with Richie, Crawford, and Barnes playing an average of 40 minutes per game, which increases the probability of players being injured on the court.

O'Neal is 36 years old and ranks fourth in minutes with the Warriors at 35 minutes.

Li Zhi had to stand up and clarify to the coach at this time, saying that it was just an accident and not caused by fatigue.

O'Neill also explained that how much time to play is his own request, and the coach just put himself at the right moment, and he is in good shape this season, hoping to play more.

"New York Sports" published an article, arguing that the impact of Li Zhi's injury on the Warriors is huge, the lack of outside core, the Warriors' firepower on the outside will be reduced by a notch, and what is more terrifying is the defense, Li Zhi's current defensive efficiency value UPRE ranks third in the league, and the Warriors' defensive efficiency value is 95.5 when Li Zhi is on the court, which is second only to Garnett's impact on the Celtics and Howard on the Magic.

If the Warriors are an Eastern team, they may still be able to compete for a chance to compete for the top four in the regular season without an outside core, but in the West, where there are more monks and less meat, the Warriors are very likely to have a terrible decline in performance, and even more terrible is that the Warriors will lose consecutive losses and lose the opportunity to compete for the playoffs, which are very likely.

Of course, because of Richie's absence, other players within the Warriors will get more opportunities, such as Lowry, Morrow, and Nick Young, and they will have more playing time, and the Warriors can use this time difference to train their players.

It's over...... I slipped my hand and forgot to add the chapter name......
