"In the first game of the series between the Lakers and Spurs in today's Western Conference semifinals, when the fourth quarter was about to end, Kobe Bryant suddenly left the court with a leg injury, and the medical room was examining Kobe, the injury is unknown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" - the forefront of the NBA.
In the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 116-87 to start the series. Bryant was named the best player of the game with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists, and LaVine contributed 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 9-of-21 shooting. Noll had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, Antetokounmpo had 13 points and 11 boards, and Whiteside had 6 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. For the Spurs, Parker was blown up by Kobe Bryant, with only 7 points and 5 assists, Oden 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, and only Leonard and Duncan scored double-doubles on the team. The Spurs' tactics were completely restrained, and the Lakers had the absolute advantage of the series. However, surprisingly, Kobe Bryant suffered a leg injury, and the Lakers' future is worrying. βββespn
β¦β¦
The whole world was reporting on today's game, and because of Kobe's injury, Chu Xuan had no intention of dealing with outside media interviews, so he asked Phil Webb to take Jeremy Lin and Whiteside to the press conference.
Chu Xuan, Nash, and Payton led a group of players to guard outside the medical room, the atmosphere was full of dreary, no one spoke, and everyone seemed preoccupied.
The hallway not far from the medical room was crowded with reporters with cameras, but Kupchak had instructed the staff not to let them in, so the reporters who wanted to get first-hand information were stopped away from the locker room by security guards at the Staples Center.
Chu Xuan's head is very messy now, and Kobe's matter is too sudden. He wondered how this year's playoffs would have gone without Kobe.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan couldn't help but glance around, Antetokounmpo, Noor, and Laven...... These young people who are still young and immature, can they carry the burden of taking the Lakers to the top? The answer is really hard to say, but from the eyes of these guys, Chu Xuan can find a trace of confusion and panic, as if Kobe's sudden injury and retreat have a great impact on these guys...... At least now they are in a state of losing their backbone.
Suddenly, the door to the medical room was pushed open, and Gariveti stepped out of it.
Suddenly, everyone came to the spirit.
"How's Kobe?"
"The result?"
"Old Gary, is Kobe alright?"
β¦β¦
There was a chaotic sound of inquiry, and then more than ten meters away, there were constantly flashing magnesium lights. The reporters tried to rush over, but were unable to break through the security guards.
Chu Xuan's face was expressionless, and he also looked at Gariveti with questions.
Under everyone's gaze, Garivetti spoke:
"Kobe Bryant is not a big problem, he has a tendon strain on the back of his left calf, but the degree of the strain is a bit big, and he needs a period of rest......"
Gaviotti didn't go on to say that as a medical staff member who has been with the Lakers for decades, he knows that there are things that can't be said obviously.
It's just a tendon strain...... This doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging was also relaxed.
Chu Xuan asked Nash to take the players back to the locker room, and then he followed Garivetti to the medical room.
"Old Gary, how long does Kobe Bryant need to rest?" At this time, there was no one around, so Chu Xuan asked.
"Two weeks if it's fast, maybe a month if it's slow...... It may also be longer...... However, there should be no problem, there is a 90% chance that you will be able to play healthy in 2~4 weeks! β
2~4 weeks! This seems to be going to the Western Conference Finals or Finals, which means that the Lakers must insist on playing until the Western Conference Finals or Finals before Kobe Bryant returns from injury!
"Well, in that case, it seems like it's going to be a little troublesome, but it should be okay in the end." Chu Xuan muttered to himself, as if he was thinking.
Gariverti is also full of bitterness, and Kobe's matter makes him a little sad, after all, if the Lakers want to hit the finals this season, then Kobe is absolutely indispensable, but, what is extremely bad is that Kobe Bryant left the court with a very regrettable injury today, which makes the Lakers face an unprecedented predicament.
"Chu, you know, Kobe Bryant is a player who has always been able to work miracles, and I'm sure he has no problem. When the Lakers need him, he's certainly going to be able to step up. The injury was only very short-lived, so it wasn't something hard to swallow......"
The two of them were talking and came to the bedside of the medical room, where Kobe Bryant was lying on the bed with a depressed face, as if he had suffered some major blow.
Chu Xuan was slightly indignant in his heart, and came to Kobe's side with a smile.
"Chu, the current situation seems to be really bad, I can only say, I'm really sorry! I really want to be able to play and help the team on the field, but I'm really sorry for everything! β
Bryant was a little agitated, and he was obviously having trouble accepting the current situation.
Chu Xuan patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder to soothe his emotions: "Kobe, I can only tell you that everything is fine. You should believe in your team, in these teammates of yours. And you, too, should trust me, I will bring you to the stage you want to be on. So, everything will not deviate from the original track, and everything will continue as I planned...... You just need to recuperate in peace...... Kobe, remember what I said, the Lakers are not going to let you down. β
Kobe Bryant was stunned, he kept staring at Chu Xuan, and then smiled and nodded for a long time.
&&&&&&&
After visiting Kobe, Chu Xuan returned to the locker room.
At this time, the heat of the game has subsided, and the players have begun to return to their homes to rest, while the Staples Center is slowly quiet.
Chu Xuan picked up his mobile phone, talked to Adeline on the phone, and finally said goodnight to each other, which ended the emotional eruption between the two people.
When Chu Xuan hung up the phone, a text message that suddenly reminded him felt very surprised.
"Chu, I think I'm in love with you. From the first time I saw you, I had an indescribable affection for you, which made me unable to extricate myself. As we continue to cross paths more and more, my feelings for you are stronger...... Really, whenever I sleep, you come to mind...... From then on, I knew that I was in a very difficult situation. Perhaps, I am really in love with you. Forgive me, but, sometimes, the feelings are really hard to control. β
This is a text message of confession between men and women, but it is very common for a star-level figure like the NBA to appear. However, when he saw the payment of the text message, Chu Xuan was very shocked. It turned out to be a text message from Lin Yun'er to him, and the time was about three hours ago, that is, when the game had just begun.
Chu Xuan was very surprised, but he didn't expect that what he was most worried about still happened. Lin Yun'er really had an indelible kind of affection for him, which made the relationship between the two people begin to move towards a complicated situation.
However, Chu Xuan didn't have much of a good impression of Lin Yun'er. In his opinion, Lin Yun'er is indeed a very good girl, if there is no Adeline, then Chu Xuan is likely to choose Lin Yun'er as his girlfriend. However, with Adeline's gentle, virtuous and beautiful girlfriend as the other half, Chu Xuan definitely doesn't have much affection for Lin Yun'er.
Just like when she was in New York, Lin Yun'er was drunk on the street late at night, Chu Xuan was more sympathetic than pity, which also fundamentally reflected Chu Xuan's attitude towards Lin Yun'er. He wants to be a single-minded person, so he won't let anything happen to himself and Lin Yun'er......
However, this text message, which was similar to a confession, suddenly disrupted everything, and Chu Xuan fell into a daze, he really didn't know how to solve this matter......
Holding the mobile phone for a long time, Chu Xuan dispelled the idea of texting Lin Yun'er back.
"I didn't expect to be a sensual guy now, hehe, it's not a good sign for me. Let him do everything. β
Chu Xuan sighed slightly, smiled, and got up to leave.
Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to be apathetic, which makes everything a lot easier.
Chu Xuan and Lin Yun'er are destined to be fruitless. As long as he still wants to have a future with Adeline, then Lin Yun'er's matter is destined not to happen.
Therefore, when this kind of thing really happened, what Chu Xuan should do was to be indifferent, ignore it, and treat it as if nothing had happened!
β¦β¦
Lin Yun'er's sudden news, coupled with Kobe's sudden injury, did bring a lot of trouble to Chu Xuan.
You know, the playoffs are just around the corner, and as a head coach, he really should stay calm, which is the best thing for the Lakers. However, it backfired, Chu Xuan was still greatly affected, his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time, and he always couldn't help but think about a lot of things.
Chu Xuan drove the car to the beach, sat in the car in a daze for a long time, and then drove back home to rest.
He didn't know what he was thinking, he just knew that in this situation, being away from the hustle and bustle would allow him to find the most authentic feeling, to touch himself.
"Maybe everything can just go with the flow, maybe that's how a person's life is. It's not easy to have a very smooth time......"
β¦β¦
Regarding Kobe's injury, the Lakers officially released the news that Kobe Bryant only had a slight leg muscle cramp and only needed 3~5 days of rest to be able to play for the Lakers again.
This statement is Kupchak's instructions, after all, he can't say that Kobe Bryant needs to be out for 2~4 weeks or more, in that case, it is very unfavorable to the Lakers who are playing in the Western Conference semifinals. As the team's general manager, Kupchak naturally knows what to do.
However, although the Lakers officially said so, the outside world did not fully believe it. γ
Many media feel that Kobe Bryant is likely to be reimbursed in the playoffs, and the Lakers did it in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
This speculation is the most widely accepted opinion, after all, the Lakers are the favorites to win the championship this season, and the news surrounding them always receives the most attention.
If Kobe, who is the Lakers' main point guard, is really reimbursed, then it will definitely be a disaster for the Lakers. Then it also has a very big impact on the current playoff pattern.
In the face of a strong opponent like the Spurs, the Lakers will definitely not easily expose their fatal flaws to their opponents, after all, they are far from giving up the game, for the Lakers, eliminating the Spurs and entering a higher stage of the game is still what they need to do.
"Bryant will be able to play again soon. And, even if Kobe Bryant isn't around, I'm confident that these guys under my command can bring victory to the Lakers. Their chemistry and experience are our greatest strengths, but more importantly, they have a lot of energy, which makes the series very easy. β
In the face of all kinds of doubts from the outside world, Chu Xuan still expressed his inner opinion when he was interviewed.
He has a certain amount of confidence that even without Kobe, the Lakers are still not a team that the Spurs can easily beat.
However, when the rest of the game did go on, that was not how it happened.
Chu Xuan felt very big trouble, and he had a headache, because the Spurs were not such an easy opponent to solve.
In the second game of the finals, because of Kobe's absence, Chu Xuan tried to put Elfrid Payton in the starting point guard position. The reason why Jeremy Lin or Maddie were not put in the starting position is also to ensure the Lakers' bench depth, after all, in this series, it is the time to fight for bench depth.
However, Payton Jr.'s starting effect was not particularly good, although he contributed 7 points and 8 assists in the second game, but on the offensive end, Payton Jr. was only 3 of 10, including 0 of 4 three-pointers. The offensive end is useless, and on the defensive end, Parker broke out directly, and the French sports car easily blew up Payton Jr., hitting 5 of 8 shots in the game, contributing 12 points and 13 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the Spurs' victory.
In the second game, the Lakers lost the game 99-112 because of the impact of Kobe's truce, and the big score became 1:1.
You know, these are two home games, as a Lakers with a home-court advantage, losing one home, then it is definitely quite passive.
However, this is not the worst-case scenario.
In the third game that followed, Kobe Bryant still did not return as expected, and the Lakers' No. 1 position was still at a great weakness and could not pose any threat to the Spurs.
In this game, the two sides fought a fierce battle in order to seize the advantage, and finally after an overtime, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Lakers 122-119 three-point game.
Both players played very well, but Leonard became the most high-profile star of the game.
Leonard was 13-of-20 from the field, including 7-of-11 three-pointers and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line, contributing 39 points, 6 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 blocks, directly dominating the game.
Led by him, Oden scored 18 points and 16 rebounds, and Parker had 20 points and 9 assists...... (To be continued.) )
