Chapter 47: A Blessing in Misfortune

"Carlos, concentrate and don't be influenced by him." Belinelli interspersed and yelled at his teammates to cheer him on.

Gibson is a very quiet person, although he has a fierce face, but in the face of Guy and Li Ming's provocation, he is silent, just stand quietly under the basket, defend his position, and he often goes to help his teammates defend. It's the kind that everyone likes.

Li Ming didn't embarrass him, because he would only face him when he changed defenses, and usually the two of them didn't play in the same position.

The current concept of the No. 4 and No. 5 positions in the Bulls field is blurred, which also gives the Grizzlies' main interior lineman Zach Randolph more opportunities to rest, buying him valuable time to recover.

"Lee, let them see what you're capable of, go, catch up." Zachrandolph signaled Li Ming to lead the defense, don't blindly shrink inside and wait for the other party to break through. Although he was off the field, he still broke his heart for the team.

Li Ming hadn't adjusted his breathing because of the offensive and defensive consumption just now, and just stood near the free throw line waiting for Belinelli with the ball, who looked at him but gave the ball to Boozer on the other side.

"Come back, I really don't know how to die." Li Ming beckoned Guy to change guards with him again, but Guy fell lightly and pulled aside with a smile.

This time, Boozer received the ball in the frame and made head-on contact with Li Ming.

Li Ming's right hand kept waving, and there were words in his mouth—I don't know if Boozer understood, and I was really a little careful about him in my heart.

Boozer glanced at him and made a shooting motion, but Li Ming didn't jump, just covered his top position.

Seeing that Li Ming was not fooled, and there were boos off the field, Boozer couldn't care about that much, and gritted his steel teeth and crushed it.

“Dua

g!! Dua

g!!” Although Li Ming tried his best to protect his heart, he was still in the slightest pain, and the two of them are now gritting their teeth and insisting, whoever instigates first is the turtle son.

Boozer finally got to his preferred position and stood with his hands on the ball.

"No matter where he's under the basket, he's bound to turn from the left, and that's an open secret that the whole league knows." Li Ming quietly flashed half a distance to tempt him to shoot from the left side.

Boozer caught a glimpse of the void and did not hesitate to make a sideways face frame.

"Fuck your sister." Li Ming screamed and appeared from above him, this ball was riveting enough, it was too late for Boozer to dodge again, and his body was already falling uncontrollably.

If you don't make a move, you will have to violate the rules, so you can only make a move, and you just happened to be caught by Li Ming, who was rising later.

A clean hot pot, the fan flew a full five meters away, and the ball was so powerful that Guy who was closest to the ball didn't even pick it up, and watched it go out of the line.

"Oh La!!" Just when the Grizzlies bench was all in the air. Li Ming, who was running back, suddenly bent down with a distorted face. Clutching his ankles in pain.

Hollins called a timeout, and Guy stepped forward, not rushing to move his position, but bent over to inquire about him.

"What's wrong? Lee, what's the reaction? Move a little and see if the bones hurt? "With eagerness.

Randolph also rushed into the field as soon as possible, dragging Li Ming's head, trying to make him lie flat and not let that foot shine, so as not to aggravate the injury.

Li Ming turned his foot slightly, as if he didn't hurt the bone, and through the slow-motion replay of the scene, it turned out that when he was falling, he stepped on the surface of Boozer's foot, and his ankle had a nearly 90-degree flip.

That's why the sudden pain hits, this ball is not easy to say, if it is serious, it may hurt the ankle, at least it will be injured for a month, but if you unload part of the force at that time, it may be better, and the pain of swelling is indispensable.

"Lee has a noticeable flip in his ankle and it looks like he's not going to play tonight, just hopefully his injury isn't too serious." As a professional footballer, Larry Bird is the one who is best aware of the psychological trauma of these injuries.

Yes, the psychological pressure is far stronger than the senses, and it can even affect a player's career.

Li Ming motioned to pull himself up, Randolph pulled him up, slowly helped him to the sidelines and sat down, just as they were off the field, the United Center Arena actually remembered thunderous applause.

It's a rare occurrence on the road, and it's clear that the desperate Saburo-esque defender has won them over and reminded them of their team's prowess Derrick Rose, who genuinely wants injuries to stay away from them.

Guy carefully helped Li Ming untie his shoelaces, took off his socks, and his ankles were obviously a little red and swollen.

There is an unwritten rule in the league that team doctors cannot communicate with players themselves, and can only discuss injuries in depth with team managers and agents.

Judging from Hollins' gradually stretched expression, the situation should not be so bad, but it should not be played tonight just to be on the safe side.

Li Ming was very disappointed, and vigorously smashed the towel on the bench, venting his inner emotions. He still wanted to play, but the coach ignored him, and for him, it was good that he didn't hurt his bones.

It's just the right opportunity to recuperate from injuries and learn more about the team's tactical system and positioning. This is already a great blessing in misfortune.

Arthur on the side kept touching Li Ming's head, he wanted to say some comforting words, but his mouth was stupid, and he grinned at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

On the bench, several rookies who have not been able to get playing time for a long time took the opportunity to come together and show friendship in a timely manner and get closer.

A few of these girls are probably trying to take the opportunity to curry favor, and they can take a few more passes from him in the future.

Li Ming kept panting, beads of sweat kept oozing, dripping onto the floor in front of him, and the specific results would not be determined until tomorrow's MRI report came out.

As long as the result is negative, it does not hurt the muscles and bones, it is an ordinary tear level injury, with the physique of a professional player, it can be healed as long as you rest and recuperate for a week or two.

Coupled with the blessing of the system, it is estimated that Li Ming will be able to enter the team squad after two or three games at most, and stage the drama of the return of the king.

It's just that he originally thought that it would be impossible to make a magical appearance like Celtic Paul Pearce, after all, Pierce said in an interview a few years later that he just wanted to at that time, and Li Ming was indeed injured, and the coach would not risk the player's career.

What's more, the current Li Mingzhi is an indispensable part of Hollins' tactical system, and the prototype of the three-guard system has been initially formed.

When the timeout time came, the game continued, and the camera cut to Li Ming on the bench, only to see him drooping his head, looking at his teammates on the field vacantly, frowning from time to time, I don't know whether he was worried about the situation on the field or because of the pain in his ankle.

Li Ming's injury and absence made Coach Hollins's three-guard tactics a great test, and as soon as the opponent saw Li Ming go off the court, he immediately replaced the more aggressive Nate Robinson on the court to strengthen the impact on the basket.

Conley looked a little overwhelmed by the packs of Belinelli and Robinson, and errors began to mount in the middle of the game, and Ruhr Deng took advantage of the opportunity to hit a series of shots to take the lead back.

By the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies were trailing by seven points, 77-84.
