Chapter 14: Wounded and Exited
Asik, who received Huang Jun's pass, did not have any doubts, and he was ready to end with a dunk directly after receiving the ball, and then just when Asik jumped up and was about to shoot.
O'Neal, who had been behind Asik, jumped up and covered Asik's dunk ball from behind, a perfect block.
Asik didn't understand what was going on, and the basketball that fell from the cover was directly grabbed by the little bully on the side, and then passed the ball to Dragic.
When all this happened, Asik understood what had happened just now, in the goal he thought he had to score, he didn't expect to be directly covered by the opponent, and it was covered from behind, which made Asik's face a little unbearable, Asik, who came back to his senses, hurriedly returned to defense, and when passing by Huang Jun's side, he gave the other party a sorry look, after all, the other party passed him a very beautiful pass, and he himself failed to score it, very embarrassed.
Huang Jun just said, "It's nothing, it's not your fault, hurry up and go back to defense, and strive to bring O'Neill back, I'm optimistic about you." Come on! ”
Asik nodded.
Dragic's side did not choose to play alone this time, but passed the ball to O'Neal, without blocking or anything, purely passing the ball to O'Neill on the inside, and handed it to him to handle the ball.
Asik was dead on O'Neal's back, O'Neal looked behind him with disdain, and then hit it strongly, and shot directly with a hook hand, completely ignoring Asik's defense, you must know that although the strength of the collision just now was still very good, but Asik withstood it, and there was no dislocation in the defensive position, but O'Neal directly chose the hook.
Asik was unprepared for all this, and watched as the ball flew over his head and fell directly towards the basket, hitting again.
Asik didn't have any expression on his face at this time, and touched the place where he had just been hit with his hand, and it hurt a little.
With the goal, the Suns stretched the margin to three points.
The next two minutes passed quickly, and when the half was over, the Cavaliers were four points behind the opponent in the score, mainly because the Cavaliers had a bad hand during this time, and the inside line could not be played at all.
Sixty-three to sixty-six behind the Suns by three points at halftime, this defense allowed the Suns to score such a high score of 66 points, and the fans present are already immune, after all, the Cavaliers' defense this season is already obvious to all, so no one is saying that the Cavaliers' defense is not good, they are talking too much.
"Hehe, the Suns played really well today, scoring 66 points at halftime." Barkley said on the side.
"Hehe, it's not that the Suns are doing well, but because the Cavaliers' defense is so poor, so the Suns scored 66 points in the half, and the interior line can't be guarded, and the defense inside gives the opponent a chance to score three points, so the current Cavaliers are playing very aggrieved," Smith said.
"Well, well, that's true," Barkley said helplessly.
The second half of the game soon began again, and what did the managers of both sides set up at half-time?
At the beginning of the second half, Huang Jun held the ball, James stepped forward to block and dismantle it, Huang Jun took advantage of this block to break through directly, and when he broke through to the three-second zone of the inside line, he jumped high in the face of O'Neal's defense.
"Boy, are you looking down on my defense? How dare you jump in front of me? O'Neill exclaimed, then jumped high.
James saw Huang Jun jumping up in front of O'Neill, and O'Neill jumped up as well, so he hurriedly said, "Huang Jun, be careful"
Huang Jun naturally heard James's words, but at this time, Huang Jun was already ready to send it, even if he landed now, it would be a violation, and Huang Jun would not allow a mistake to happen.
Boom, the two bodies collided together and made a sound of bumping bodies, and O'Neill saw that Huang Jun still wanted to make a move, so he slapped Huang Jun fiercely in anger.
Then Huang Jun fell directly to the ground under a heavy blow, ah, a painful sound spread throughout the court, and every player present clearly heard Huang Jun's scream.
James has been paying attention to Huang Jun, and immediately ran over when he saw this, and then the other Cavaliers players came around, and the Cavaliers' coach quickly asked for a timeout to see how Huang Jun's situation was, Brown was also very anxious at this time, Huang Jun was too important to the Cavaliers.
Huang Jun didn't say anything, because he was already in pain at this time and couldn't speak, Huang Jun's situation was naturally very worried by James and all the other people who paid attention to him, they knew that this time the injury was probably big.
"O'Neill, did you do it on purpose?" Seeing Huang Jun's situation at this time, James stood up and said angrily to O'Neill next to him.
"Deliberately? Do you think I need to do this to him on purpose? I just watched him ignore my defense in front of me, so I was going to cover him with the ball, but I didn't expect to push too hard, and that's it," O'Neill explained.
Hearing this, James had no choice but to stop talking, and continued to care about Huang Jun's situation, and soon Huang Jun was driven to the bench by James and Asik, and then Brown asked, "Huang Jun, where do you feel wrong?" Pain? ”
"Coach, I think I have a problem with my back, but I feel okay, it will hurt a lot when I just fell to the ground, but although it hurts, it doesn't hurt so much, is this a good performance, a good situation?" Huang Jun said truthfully, he really didn't know what was wrong with him, so he could only say it by pain.
"James Asik, you're going to play again, West, you and Gibson drive him to the locker room first, the hospital car will come right away, and then he'll get in the car and go to the hospital for a check-up, and you'll come back, you know?" Brown turned to Gibson and West, who were beside him.
The two nodded, and cautiously drove Huang Jun towards the locker room little by little.
Huang Jun's injury has a very big impact on the knight, not only in terms of strength, but also in morale, which will bring some fire in the knight's style of play, and the physical contact is becoming more and more frequent, obviously everyone is very angry, so so.
Although he was angry, the game was not chaotic at all, and the knights who lacked Huang Jun organized the offense to James, and James led the team back to the knights without Huang Jun at that time, the knight era.
When the third quarter of the game ended, the Cavaliers tied the score, Huang Jun was injured, and the account naturally went to the Suns, so everyone played very hard, as if they were avenging Huang Jun, and when the game went on until the fourth quarter There was still half a quarter, and the Cavaliers overtook the score by five points.
The Knight's sudden attack surprised the Suns, but after thinking about it, it became clear, after all, the main point guard was injured, and it was O'Neal who attacked, so it was forgivable to break out for revenge.
James, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the court with his eyes intently, and said in his heart, "Huang Jun, I will definitely win this pizza, I will be tired if I am tired, I have been tired for so long before, but it seems that I will be tired in the next game, I don't know when you will recover?" ”
In the last six minutes of the game, the Cavaliers, under the leadership of James, firmly kept that slight advantage, and the Suns no matter how they played, no matter how they chased the points, they could not overtake, and when there was still one minute in the game, the Suns finally chased the score to only three points, but these three points were very difficult, and there was not much time left at this time.
James received the ball, held the ball and looked at Ragabel, who was defending himself, dribbling a little bit, silently counting the time, seeing that the offensive time was almost up, facing the opponent's defense, dribbling a few steps, and directly choosing a three-point shot, boom, the three-point jumper missed, and the rebound was picked up by O'Neal.
The Suns called a timeout just in time, with thirty-six seconds left in the game.
After the timeout, the Suns were still in the starting lineup.
As soon as the ball came out, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, and the Suns' players looked at the referee puzzled, only to see that the referee compared Biacik, and then compared Bi'o'Neal, which means that Asik fouled O'Neal, and the number of fouls was counted, and O'Neal went to the free throw line to make two free throws.
Asik laughed lightly, and said secretly, "O'Neal, everyone knows that your serve is not good, the coach is really prescient, let me implement the shark cutting tactic against O'Neill at the last moment, it is really high." ”
O'Neal, who was standing on the free throw line, was sad at this time, he was not afraid of the sky, he was afraid of the free throw, and the career shooting rate was only half, which made him ashamed.
The first penalty shot, boom, missed, O'Neill wiped his sweat when he saw this, and said in his heart, "The second penalty must go in"
Retracted his mind, made a long pre-free throw preparation, and then shot, boom, boom, boom, jumped a few times on the basket, and the free throw finally failed to hit, which made O'Neal completely speechless and faceless.
The rebound was taken by Big Z, and then the opponent immediately fouled him, but his free throws were very accurate, and the next two free throws also proved how accurate his free throws were.
The Suns ultimately lost, lost in their tactical arrangement, and they shouldn't have left O'Neal on the court at the last minute, they left him on the court to grab a three-point miss and compete for rebounds?
Although the game was won, there was no smile on everyone's faces, because at this time they were all worried about Huang Jun, who was still in the hospital, did not return to the stadium, obviously the injury was very serious, at least for a while.
This is something they don't want to see, but it happened in the end, which is undoubtedly a big blow to them, after all, the team can have such a good record now, and Huang Jun's performance is crucial.
"You don't have to attend the post-match meeting of this game, just me and the assistant coach can go, you go to the hospital to see what Huang Jun is doing, why you haven't been notified yet.
