Chapter 35: Extreme Fallback
Everyone looked at James, and the fans silently blessed him.
They were worried that James would get hurt.
"Ah......h
James clenched his hands tightly and pounded the floor, trying to divert his painful attention.
The Lakers' team doctor also rushed over and crouched down to check on James' injuries.
"James has a groin femoral strain." After a team doctor's examination, he turned around and said in a somewhat sad tone.
Everyone gasped, and they were not sure when they would be able to return from this injury.
Su Bei's eyes kept looking at James, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
As soon as James was injured, it meant that the Lakers' offensive point was gone.
All the players are watching James and want the players to stay away from injury.
Injuries are a threshold for every professional footballer.
James was helped out, and the whole arena was filled with an atmosphere of grief.
Su Bei also trembled slightly, James would be injured at this time, could it be that the world has changed because of him and something?
He clearly remembers that James was injured in the 2018-2019 season when the Lakers were injured during the battle between the Lakers and the Warriors, and it was Christmas Day.
And now it's ahead of schedule.
There are four games left before Christmas and the Warriors battle.
James is unlikely to show up before Christmas, and even if it's serious, he may not be back before the playoffs begin.
The Lakers really can't do without James, and the lineup is not complete.
Wharton didn't know what to do, as if a natural disaster had suddenly befallen him.
No matter what, the Lakers are going to keep going.
......
......
Some of the Lakers players don't have that kind of excitement on their faces, but a kind of sadness.
They don't know how to fight without James?
Even coach Walton was silent for a while, then raised his head slightly, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "James tied the score for us, what we need now is to win this game, and we can't let down James." ”
"Gotta win the game."
"In overtime, you're all going to do it for me."
Everyone trembled in their hearts, and there seemed to be a trace of anger in their eyes, wanting to vent it.
"Can you win this game?"
"Yes!"
One by one, the players stood up and responded.
"Okay, McGee, Bauer, Subei, Kuzma, Caruso, you guys."
Wharton's eyes fell on them in northern Jiangsu, and only they still had some combat power.
Extra time begins.
Lakers serve.
Ball attacked with the ball, faced Mills, carried him hard, and broke through.
Spurs center Jacob Poeltl took a step forward and was ready to defend just waiting for them to charge inside.
McGee circled behind him and held out his right hand for the ball.
Ball threw it high and Jacob Poeltl jumped over and didn't reach it, while McGee kicked up and the ball landed right in his right hand.
Bang dang ~~~
The basket shook.
Ball's passing was accurate, and if McGee didn't want the ball, Ball would also drive to the basket.
"Good shot, this dunk is very morale-boosting."
"Without James, the Lakers will be more and more difficult in the future, and the playoffs are estimated to be 100 percent."
Yang Yi is so sure that since Kobe Bryant left, there has been almost no offense in the playoffs, and now that James is injured again, the Lakers must have little hope this season.
Zhu Fangyu next to him also echoed: "Well, without James, they won't be able to go far." ”
Even Mina supports the Lakers, and without James, she feels a little hanging.
After all, the young players of the Lakers have just arrived, and the run-in period is not enough.
Now that's the case again, and the Lakers don't have a chance to make the playoffs.
"Ball !!"
DeRozan shouted at Mills, and there was still an empty seat in the bottom corner.
Mills decisively passed to DeRozan.
The ball arrives, and the man shoots.
Swish!
Two-point hit.
DeRozan didn't look back at all, looking at the fans with a smile on his face.
It seems that they are all celebrating the victory of the game.
No matter how crazy Ball and Caruso fought inside, DeRozan and their hands were too hot at all.
"The mid-range shot from DeRozan is almost accurate."
"DeRozan and Mills were too hard today and shot through the Lakers' defense."
Yang Yi has to admire today's DeRozan and Mills, "The two of them have probably scored more than 60 points together, and they are completely hilarious." ”
"On the Lakers' side, what's going on?"
The score of the two teams was 114:116.
The point difference did not open up at all, and the players on the Lakers' side were sweating one by one, with a determined gaze in their eyes, although James had some influence on them just now, but they wanted to win this game more.
Now there are only eight seconds left.
It's just two points off.
"DeRozan, you hurry up and press them, you must not make a successful serve." Popovich shouted that with eight seconds left, if the Lakers hit a three-pointer, it would be the spurs.
Popovich: He doesn't want to be the background wall of the Lakers.
Who wants to be killed by the Lakers.
Looking at it now, the last ball may be Su Bei or Bauer.
Ball and Subei both have three-pointers, and no matter who it is, both of them will be able to shoot a three-pointer in eight seconds, which is very likely.
"Ball, if one of them has an open space, make sure to pass the ball to the other person."
"Now we have to finish with three points."
"Yes, I know."
Ball replied that now he can only ask for three points, and if he can shoot three points, he can only shoot three points, and if he can't, then he can only go for two points.
In the case of two points, if the Lakers shoot two points, they have to create another chance, and the success rate is very low, so they have to go for three points.
Lakers offense.
Ball holds the ball, and the three-point line is flanked by Caruso and Subei.
Su Bei took the lead in running over and blocked and dismantled Bauer first.
Ball walked around, and Mills and DeRozan, who were defending Ball, looked at Ball, who bent his legs slightly, looked to the basket, bent his elbows, and prepared to shoot.
Mills pounced quickly, scared for him to shoot.
In the next second, Bauer made a quick shot.
The ball arcs through the air.
Popovich clasped his hands tightly and kept his eyes on the basketball.
The same is true for Wharton, and the players also rubbed to their feet and looked at the basketball in the air one by one.
"Enter..."
"But you have to come in."
The players looked forward and whispered.
Bang dang ~~~~
As a result, the ball was bounced out.
There are three seconds left.
After the ball was picked up by Subei, he dribbled to the three-point line.
DeRozan followed closely behind, making constant contact between bodies.
When Su Bei reached the three-point line, he jumped without hesitation, turned in the air, and made a backward jumper.
