Chapter 63: Ligament Strain?
The opening of the Clippers gave the Traveling Mavericks a hard shot, and Jordan Jr. and Griffin each received Paul's high throw to complete the aerial relay and blow up the Staples Center.
The Mavericks started from the outside, and the interior core Nowitzki only took two shots in the first half of the first quarter to score 2 points, and the rest of the shots were all jump shots.
In the second half of the first quarter, Nowitzki stepped up his individual offense, but he still dominated the mid-to-long range, and it was difficult for Nowitzki, who faced Griffin and Jordan Jr., to find suitable opportunities inside, and it was helpless to shoot from afar.
The Clippers played an easy first quarter, leading the Mavericks by seven points at 32:25.
But this back-to-back, magic will never happen often, and the Clippers ushered in a change in the second quarter.
A turn of events that put the Clippers in a passive position.
In the second quarter, Chen Lei came off the bench, and Chen Lei should have been unlucky, as soon as he walked into the court, the defense was misplaced and ushered in the opponent's starting power forward, Daimam Porter.
This goods in the first quarter 3 shots were all rejected by the basket, this time he was ruthless to play a good game, successfully received the ball and saw that Chen Lei, who was making up for defense, occupied the position and ignored it directly, jumped into the air and hit Chen Lei, and he wanted to make a violent dunk through Chen Lei.
Chen Lei didn't react immediately when he was thickened by Durham Porter at first, and only when he saw his jumping posture did he know that this thing was going to dunk.
"I'll you! Is this going to be done with a dunk through me? Chen Lei's brain flashed: "Shall I drag him down and beat him up?" ”
Of course, this kind of thinking can only be imagined, Chen Lei's huge body quickly rose into the air after Durham Potter, and his arms were raised high to block Durham Potter's advance.
"Bang!" The two collided in the air, and the momentum of Dareham Porter's gliding body was reduced by most of the time, and it was basically impossible to complete a dunk at this moment, after all, his sprint distance was too short.
Durham Porter had to adjust his stance in the air and pick the ball towards the basket, but he was not good at controlling the balance, and the basketball shot was thrown, but the center of gravity shifted and he fell to the left front.
Chen Lei's body also began to fall, seeing that Durham Potter had a tendency to fall, he grabbed his arm with both hands so that he would not fall, and then the sad thing befell Chen Lei, and after landing, Durham Potter leaned back in order to grasp the balance and took Chen Lei to the back together.
"You come back to me!" Chen Lei put his arms into his arms and tried to pull Daim Potter back, but he thought too easily, not only did he not pull it back, but the two were pulled over by Daim Potter.
Obviously, I am the main attacker, but now how has I become the main attacker?
"Poof!" The two of them added up to four or five hundred pounds and fell to the ground at the same time, and Chen Lei's right leg was filled with pain, and then swept through his body.
Hurt!
Chen Lei propped up his body painfully and then rolled to the side, releasing Daimpoter, who was about to be pressed by himself under his body, and his expression of grinning was a little hideous, and the referee also signaled that the game was suspended and came over.
"Are you okay man?" The referee asked Chen Lei, looking at the sweat on Chen Lei's forehead, it didn't seem to be pretending.
Chen Lei nodded, tried to stand up and fell down halfway, Rivers also ran over at the moment, looking at Chen Lei's legs, guessing that this guy should have a ligament injury with years of amazement.
"Send it to the infirmary for processing, quickly!" Rivers waved to the bench, and Granger and Davis ran over and carried Chen Lei out of the arena.
Chen Lei's fans are all nervous at this moment, the playoffs are about to be injured now, it would be too bad, not only can he not continue to appreciate Chen Lei's game, but this will also have a certain impact on Chen Lei's next season, after all, the quality of the playoffs directly affects the player's second season.
"Much better, I'm really better." Chen Lei's leg pain disappeared a lot when he returned to the infirmary, and he lay on the bed and shook his hand at the team doctor on the side, "Brother, I feel like I should go back to the court." ”
The team doctor looked at Chen Lei and smiled, "I said that you are really unlucky, and you were sent to the infirmary one after another." ”
It turned out that this doctor was the one who sent him to the hospital when he fainted.
Chen Lei scratched his head, "I don't feel the pain anymore, I guess it's okay to apply it with ice cubes, right?" ”
The doctor checked it with an instrument, then knocked on it and asked Chen Lei about the pain, nodded and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, it's not a ligament problem, it's your leg muscles that made a joke with you, but I don't recommend you to go back to the court." ”
Chen Lei's eyes lit up, so that he can really play?
"Man, let me be honest with you, my dad is watching me in front of the TV, you also know that I am Chinese, my dad is not easy to watch me play." Chen Lei rubbed his eyes and rubbed his eyes red, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, "Brother, good brother, help, I really need this opportunity." ”
The team doctor clutched his head and paced in place for two steps, finally sighing, "My God, what am I doing here?" But I feel like God will forgive me! ”
After speaking, the team doctor opened the cabinet and took out a white metal bucket bag, unfolded it, filled some ice cubes into several pockets inside, and tied it to Chen Lei's leg after assembly.
"10 minutes, I'll remove it for you in 10 minutes, so that your muscles will be honest, but I really don't agree with this, after all, it will make your body have a trace of hidden dangers." The team doctor looked at Chen Lei very responsibly and asked for Chen Lei's final opinion.
"Brother, I'm thinking very clearly." Chen Lei shook his head, I just die, and I have to die on the court.
At this moment, the battle at the Staples Center has entered the white heat, and in the second quarter, the Mavericks' Carter-dominated bench fought back violently to chase the score to a level, even if Rivers let Paul return to the court after less than two minutes of rest, he could not suppress the momentum.
Carter is no longer the Canadian flyer he once wanted to fly, and the aging Carter is more and more fond of jump shots, and his shooting percentage has always been good.
Today he told the fans of Los Angeles, what is called a magical veteran, he scored 12 points in five minutes in the second quarter, and all four of them were thrown in from beyond the three-point line.
At 6 minutes and 21 seconds in the second quarter, the Clippers chose to take a timeout, and the Clippers beat the Mavericks 40:46, and were beaten by the opponent 8:21 in the second quarter, with a net minus 13 points.
"Bastard!" It's been a long time since Rivers has experienced this feeling of irritability, and it has been months since he was beaten like this by his opponent in his own home.
The Staples Center, which belongs to the Clippers, has not experienced such a tragic situation in a long time.
The Clippers players are a little tired, back-to-back is unavoidable, and some even get up from the bed an hour or two before the game, which is understandable.
But it is unacceptable to be slaughtered by an opponent like this.
Even if you can't defend it, but only scored 4 goals in 6 minutes and 21 seconds, is this still the Clippers team where everyone can attack the basket? Is it still the Clippers who can hit seventy or eighty points in the half?
How are the Clippers worse than in previous games? What's the difference?
"Could it be Chen?" Rivers thought of the chubby figure in his mind, rubbing his head and feeling that it might really be a problem with this link.
"Boys, do you need to catch up on sleep?" Rivers glanced at the sitting players in the circle, and wanted to reprimand them but took it away.
"Alright, let's lay out the next tactics!" Rivers pulled out the board, drew a circle outside the three-point line in the middle, and then marked three arrows, all pointing to the basket, "with only one purpose, to kill the opponent's basket." Most of our scoring in the first quarter was in the box, we have a more age body than them, we have a better ability to impact the basket than them, so that's our advantage and there's no reason why we shouldn't hit their basket. We did a good job of this in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, relying too much on outside jumpers proved to be not a wise choice, so there was only one goal, to impact the basket. Defensively, the opponent's perimeter ......"
The scene of the "......" suddenly became noisy, and the fans in the stadium gradually stood up and all looked at the same place, Rivers looked at the people's line of sight in confusion, and a fat man came out of the players' tunnel.
A fat man with a smile on his face.
