Chapter 149: Sudden Change
In Game 4 of the Finals, the Lakers had already prepared their post-championship T-shirts and baseball caps before the game, and they couldn't wait for the O'Brien Cup, and while the atmosphere at the Staples Center was better, no one wanted surprises.
"Rookie, are you excited? If we win, we are champions! Although Kobe Bryant said so, he is actually the most excited person, and after waiting for 7 years for the dream to finally come true, Kobe Bryant was almost unable to sleep last night with excitement.
As for Li Chen, he didn't look like a person who would be excited about this, and Big Apple yawned, "Huh? The overall winner? Oh yes, it's the fourth. "It's very different from Kobe's sleepless nights, he stayed up late to play games, and he fell asleep soon after **, and even he almost forgot to participate in the morning warm-up training.
"You won't stay up late last night to play games again, will you?" Kobe Bryant knows a little bit about his little brother's hobby, except for picking up girls, this thing will basically be buried in front of the computer to play his games. And now because of the group of girlfriends, he has lost the right to be a sister, so playing games has naturally become his first choice.
"Why!" Of course, Li Chen would not be stupid enough to admit that he stayed up late to play games, after all, today is the finals, no matter how he said it, it is still necessary to put on a little attention, he made an excuse for himself. "Because of the finals, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night, and in desperation, I finished reading a book in one go, and my mood was calmed down!"
"Reading a book?" Odom leaned over, and the Grand Lama's face was full of ambiguity, "Cruze, you're not going to read a whole playboy book, God, see how that thing can calm down!" ”
Kobe agreed with Odom's guess, "yes, rookie, how did you solve it in the end, you won't use the most primitive method, right?" "Obviously, the boss doesn't believe that the younger brother will read any books.,He joined N**A after graduating from high school, and he is a little uncomfortable with the literary hobby of reading.,And most of the people in N**A are also this kind of people.,People like Mason who can draw and have artistic cells are simply the wonder of the wonderful.。
Li Chen rarely seized the opportunity to despise his teammates, and he flicked his middle finger unscrupulously, "You primitive humans who are full of money or **, you will never be able to understand the deliciousness of spiritual food!" ”
"Sounds high-end!" Bynum leaned over when he heard the voice, "What are you exchanging ideas, what kind of spiritual food?" Is this issue of Playboy Girl charming? Show me! "Although An Zhu is not very old, he has long been damaged by Odom's old fritters.
"Yes, don't hold on, no one will blame you, indeed, it's very difficult to have your girlfriend not around when you play away, especially now when you're still in the limelight, you will be chased and intercepted by reporters when you go out, and if you find a call girl, it is estimated that it will spread all over the world the next day!"
"So, hurry up and win this one, and we'll be liberated, and you can enjoy a long offseason with your little girlfriends, if your business plan isn't very tight," the Grand Lama quipped, of course!" ”
The relaxed atmosphere before the game showed the attitude of the Lakers now, in their opinion, the championship is already in the bag, as for the fourth game, it is just a formality.
On the Magic side, Van Gundy was making the final mobilization, and the old guy said with a red face. "It's our first time in the finals, but now it's likely to be a swept, are you willing? We overcame all the difficulties and dangers to reach the finals, but we got a 0:4, can you accept all this? ”
"Can't!" Warcraft said very firmly, in the same way, under the influence of the team boss, other players also expressed their positions, especially several old players.
This is likely to be their last chance to hit the overall rolling ring, and if they fail this time, they may have to say goodbye to the ring with regrets. Although it is not as sad as Barkley Malone, after all, he also left his youth in N**A, and it is really sad if he can't retire with a championship ring.
"That's good!" Van Gundy saw the results, although the high morale did not make the Magic's strength soar a few notches in an instant, but at least now they have the courage to fight with the Lakers, the big Apple's magical performance in the last game has almost crushed the Magic's fighting spirit, they once thought that the Lakers were strong and invincible, and now, they have regained their confidence.
"Welcome to today's game, I'm your favorite Charles Barkley." Finally won the commentary position of this game, Sir Charles seemed very happy.
"It's the fourth game of the 08-09 Finals, and it's basically the final game of the season, so I'm afraid I'll be so excited to see the Lakers win the championship that I forgot to say goodbye to everyone!"
Kenny Smith frowned, "Charles, the first rule of the commentators is to be neutral, and if you continue to do this, we may have to be laid off next season." ”
Reggie Miller, who is also a fan of the Big Apple, jumped out to play a round, "Charles is too excited, but if this magic can't take the opportunity, then they will completely lose hope." I'm worried about their morale, after all, anyone who sees a 0-3 score will inevitably feel powerless. ”
Smith also knew that his partner was telling the truth, "It's true that the performance of the big apple in the last game was too magical, and if he can continue to feel like before, then the magic is really hopeless." ”
Is it true that the Magic have no hole cards? This is the playoffs, a life-and-death battle for victory!
A few minutes later, the huge Amway Arena suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at their eyes, and what happened on the field was obviously beyond people's expectations.
"Referee, that's a malicious foul, you should be ejected directly!" Barkley said indignantly, and when the Big Apple fell to the ground with an injury, Sir Charles completely forgot the neutrality principle that Smith had warned him about, "Bastard, such an obvious action turned out to be just a technical foul, is this what the league calls fair?" ”
Reggie Miller, a big Apple fan, was equally furious, "Heavy-handed a rookie who is still in his rookie year, is this what a veteran player should do? To cover up such a serious foul, this is what people call the fairest and most impartial league enforcer? **! It's all a**! ”
Although Smith still adheres to the professional ** defense, he also seems very disappointed with the current situation, "This kind of foul must be judged off, otherwise, it is difficult for me to imagine what the Finals will become in the future, if you can't play, you will get the opposing player off the court, when did the Americans who advocate ** and fairness become so utilitarian?" ”
It's okay on the commentary bench, after all, they can only spit on their lips at most, but the field is completely different, Li Chen's sudden injury almost collapsed the order on the field.
Odom pushed away Alstom, who stepped forward to observe the situation, if it weren't for the black feet of this goods, Li Chen would have no reason to be injured, seeing that the other party dared to come over, the big lama was surprisingly angry.
“**! You're raising a **, are you playing ball or beating people? ”
Half a minute ago, when the Big Apple tried to ignore the street ball king again and force his shot, the overwhelming ridicule of the media in the past two days made Alston stretch out his foot like a ghost, and he pretended not to pay attention to put his foot under the opponent, obviously, if Li Chen stepped on the ground, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Alstom already regretted it when he just stretched out his foot, after all, this violated the principle of playing, but it was difficult to recover, and when he tried to pull his foot back, Li Chen had already stepped on it impartially.
Alstom's decision was a bit of a fluke, and he thought he would be ejected, although he may be a man of the word on the street, but in N**A, he is just one of many small characters, compared to the big Apple on the other side, a technical foul is simply not a problem.
It was precisely because of this luck that he felt a little guilty about what he had done before, looking at Li Chen's painful appearance, he wanted to come up and apologize, but he was pushed away by Odom, who rushed over.
Alstom, who knew that he was wrong, didn't plan to speak, but that doesn't mean that the magic didn't have anyone to come out with.
The monster turned around and pushed Odom, he thought the other party rushed up to beat Alstom, "What are you doing?" Want to fight? ”
Bynum, who was still staying with Kobe Bryant to observe Li Chen's injury, also rushed over, and seeing that Howard seemed to have the urge to fight, An Zhu rushed over without fear, and he looked at the arrogant monster viciously.
“**! Come on! ”
The Magic's players are not safe people, of course, the n**a players themselves don't have a few safe points, seeing that the Lakers seem to have a posture of bullying more and less, Redick and Petrus and others sitting on the bench also rushed over to help.
The Lakers are similar, seeing that things seem to end in a bloody battle, Yigan led by Vujacic and others ignored the old monk's obstruction and rushed to the court, and only five people can play, but there is no such restriction in fighting.
Tianchao Channel, who felt that it was not good, quickly cut off the live broadcast signal, and an advertisement was instantly played on the TV screen, and such a non-river crab thing as a stadium brawl was obviously not suitable for live TV.
"Calm down!" The voice of the reasonable teacher was the last voice people heard, but the sharp-eyed people found that in the last shot, Sun Dasheng, who was the caretaker of the water dispenser, seemed to be in the crowd, perhaps this was the main reason why Tianchaotai cut off the signal.
However, the fans were pleasantly surprised by this, after all, to survive in competitive sports, the blood surname is the most indispensable thing, and the Great Sage's approach is not wrong in the eyes of people.
Back to the United States, Kobe Bryant stabilized the emotions of his teammates at a critical time, although the boss was also angry, but as the core of the team, he had to think more comprehensively, if the fight started, the game would be over, and the championship would once again be in suspense.
Magic's Lewis played a similar role, and he also didn't want the game to go in a way that no one wanted.
The head coaches of both teams rushed over in time, and the situation was immediately alleviated.
"Nick, how's Cruze's injury?" The old monk first asked the team doctor that compared with the referee's decision, the injury of ** is a more important issue.
Li Chen watched his teammates all gather over, although the pain in his ankle was unbearable, he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "It's not a big deal, just rest for a while!" ”
The old monk obviously didn't trust **'s answer, he was waiting for the team doctor's opinion.
Team doctor Nick shook his head helplessly, "Soft tissue contusion, although it's not a big deal, but it won't get better in a week, let alone playing on the field, he can't walk hard now!" ”
Hearing that Li Chen couldn't play, Kobe Bryant immediately comforted, "Rookie, don't worry, you watch from the bench well, we will avenge you, the championship is on us!" As for the guy with the black foot, don't worry, if the referee doesn't change the verdict, then I will definitely blow his self-esteem completely! I promise! ”
Although Kobe Bryant's statement is gratifying, the old monk who listened to the team doctor's words suddenly had a dark face, Li Chen could not play, which had a huge impact on the Lakers' tactical system, although he firmly believed that they could defeat the Magic even without the Big Apple, but this does not mean that he will not hold the opponent responsible.
The old monk glanced at Van Gundy expressionlessly, and then he turned his gaze to the referee, "Sir, I think it is necessary for us to discuss this decision carefully, if you don't want me to appeal to the league!" (To be continued.) )
