Chapter 102: Kobe Bryant Injured?
"Wang Meng! Pointers! DJ shouted passionately, in exchange for helpless glances from Wade and James.
They desperately want to chase the score back, but the Lakers always continue to widen the point difference so easily, or that sentence, the restraint of the lineup and style of play makes the Heat unable to play its due strength at all, compared to the scheming Phil Jackson, the head coach of the Heat, Spoelstra still seems much immature.
"Damn it! It's just a little bit closer! James watched the score get bigger and bigger, the anxiety and anger in his heart can be imagined, staying in the Cavaliers for seven seasons, the closest year to the championship is only on the Finals court, he has never won the O'Brien Cup, and this year, he made a painful decision, left his old club Cavaliers, and left his hometown to come to Wade's Miami Heat, bearing all kinds of infamy, but just for that little championship ring. But now, everything he has paid has gotten such a result, how can he not be in a hurry?
James controlled the ball for half the court, looked at the two hateful towers on the Lakers' inside, and was ruthless in his heart, and suddenly used his speed in disguise to pass Artest, and rushed to the inside, "I don't believe it, can't my little emperor James even get a championship ring?" ”
It turned out that even James wanted to single-handedly pick up two interior players, and the high-speed James collided with Gasol fiercely, and smoothly knocked the thin Gasol out, but before he could shoot the basketball in his arms, the referee's whistle sounded.
"No. 6 hits people with the ball, Lakers have the ball!"
“**!” James scolded fiercely in his heart, but he didn't dare to have any argument with the referee, since he left the Cavaliers, he is not the darling of the league, although the star whistle is still there, but it is far less unscrupulous than the original, and now the league implements zero tolerance, if James finds his own death to trouble the referee, the possibility of being sent off is very high.
"Hehe, you deserve it, do you really think you're invincible? Do you also have an instant burst skill? Wang Meng was gloating on the side, but he was just half happy, but found that everyone's eyes were gathered in one place, Wang Meng turned his head and found that Kobe Bryant was falling to the ground with a painful face.
"Won't it?" Wang Meng was stunned.
waited for Kobe to be helped down, Wang Meng hadn't slowed down, Phil didn't call a timeout, he didn't even know what was going on with Kobe.
The game continued, because the Lakers' advantage was very large, so even without Kobe, the Lakers relied on the play of other players such as Wang Meng and Gasol to still win the second game with the Heat.
The top scorer in the game was James, who scored 36 points but only had three assists and rebounds, Wade had 23 points and seven assists, and Bosh had 16 points and eight rebounds.
The Lakers' highest score was Kobe Bryant, who came off the court early, with 26 points, Wang Meng scored 15 points, and 13 assists, and got two double-doubles in two consecutive Finals games.
However, the victorious Lakers were not happy, because Kobe's halfway down the court cast a layer of black fog in the hearts of the Lakers.
After the game, Wang Meng did not see Kobe, and Phil said that Kobe had been admitted to the hospital. Looking at Phil's gloomy face, Wang Meng vaguely felt that something was wrong, this time Kobe's injury may not be simple.
When he returned home and turned on the TV, Wang Meng saw the report about Kobe Bryant for the first time.
"Kobe Bryant has a cracked ankle and may need to recuperate for a month or two, and will miss the next Finals game." "The Lakers' good days are over? Kobe Bryant's pillar has fallen, who can still hold up the Lakers? ”
Although these reports are second-hand news, there is no official news, and it is not true, but after all, there is no wind and no waves, and Phil's face Wang Meng looked at it in his eyes, so that the Zen master who has always been calm can become like that, I am afraid that the situation is really not good.
Sure enough, during training the next day, Phil announced that Kobe Bryant would be sidelined.
"We don't have Kobe, but we've won two games, and we only need to win two more games to win the championship." Phil said comfortingly, but he didn't have much confidence, the Heat's Big Three superstars played too unexpectedly, no one knows if Wade James or Bosh will suddenly become powerful, can the Lakers, who lack trump cards, still be able to compete with the Heat?
When he returned home after training, Wang Meng still felt a little dizzy, after all, he was just a rookie, it has only been five or six years since he started playing basketball, and he has never suffered a major injury, but he knows that injury is what all athletes are most afraid of, it is likely to destroy everything you have, Wang Meng doesn't know if Kobe Bryant will be like Maddie because of injury, just missing the finals is already very serious. The absence of the main player during the Finals period has happened many times in the history of the NBA, and there are almost no winners in this situation, which is too demoralizing.
On June 6, at the home of the Miami Heat, the Lakers and the Heat played the third game of the Finals.
"Everyone relax, without Kobe, we have the same absolute advantage, do what is arranged in the tactics, we will win." Phil said before he came on the field.
The people present except for Wang Meng are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their mental quality is excellent, and Wang Meng has always belonged to the kind of player with a big heart, and he will not be afraid for any reason when he is on the field.
Heat starters Bibby, Wade, James, Haslem, Bosh.
Lakers starters Wang Meng, Shannon Brown, Artest, Gasol, Bydam.
At the beginning of the game, Bydam easily won Bosh who was not as tall as him on the jump ball, and as soon as Wang Meng received the basketball, he saw Wade approaching him like a poisonous snake.
Wang Meng's heart was cold, and the secret path was as expected. Wang Meng knew that without Kobe, Wade would definitely come to defend himself, as long as he blocked his pass, then the Lakers' offense would not be as tough and unsolvable as it used to be.
But can you prevent me from killing me? Wang Meng said secretly, he has always lived up to anyone, even Kobe Bryant, Wade and other guard superstars, thinking that he did a big job to Kobe Bryant before he entered the league, his courage can be imagined.
"Boy, without the support of the boss, do you still dare to control the ball in front of me?" Wade looked at Wang Meng, who was walking slowly and methodically, and couldn't help but sneer.
"So what?" Wang Meng glanced at Wade and retorted: "It's a young man's world now, uncle, what should you do?" ”
