Chapter 85: [3:1, Win the Match Point]
Karl Malone ended his journey to the finals on his knees and also ended his career on his knees.
At this moment, there are too many iron elbow victims who celebrate with their crowns. For example, David Robinson, who was hit by him to shock, Isaiah Thomas, who had 40 stitches, and Tim Duncan, who was kicked by a flying kick... And lots of 'nobodies'.
With Karl Malone's style of play, he deserves to leave in this way.
The Lakers' team doctor was very unoptimistic, and they carefully helped Karl Malone up, then helped him into a wheelchair and pushed him out.
Television stations were repeatedly broadcasting replays of Carl Malone's injuries.
Even if he looks pitiful when he is pushed out, few people will really feel sympathy.
In the words of Charles Barkley: "If Jack hadn't just made a pass, but a layup, the back of his head would have been scooped." Don't underestimate the power of the Iron Elbow of Karl Malone. ”
If Karl Malone defends normally, he won't lose his center of gravity at all, and he won't be hit by Bender to his knees and hurt his knees at all.
The Lakers lost Karl Malone, and their situation worsened.
But the morale of the walkers was burning.
More and more Lakers fans are voting with their feet and leaving Staples Arena.
Fans of the big teams are mostly like this, they are well-informed and know when to leave.
It's like scratching too much, and scratching the first 'thanks' won't go on.
The Lakers didn't finish the miracle in the end, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal didn't play badly, and their offensive efficiency was still high.
It's just that walkers are taller.
Sushi had a triple-double with four minutes to go.
In the end, the Pacers defeated the Lakers 121-106.
They won the finals match point at Staples Arena and took a 3-1 lead.
Suhi scored 32 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks in this game, which broke a series of records... There are a lot of team history records, youngest triple-double records, and finals triple-double records.
Su Xi collected more and more 'historical superstar fragments' at this time.
And, he's about to usher in a piece of history-level historical superstar fragments. Finals MVP.
With the Pacers getting the match point, the Finals MVP was put on the hottest topic of discussion.
Suhi herself was asked this question.
'It's too early to talk about it, our aim is to win another game.' Suhi told TNT fieldside reporters.
"I don't have a opinion on Karl Malone's injury. The head-on smash was really exciting, and I couldn't help but praise myself when I saw it on the big screen. ”
"The Lakers are still a very strong team, and the OK combination is very dominant. I don't think the injuries to Karl Malone will weaken them, and without Karl Malone, the Lakers have already won three consecutive championships under the leadership of the OK combination. ”
"I'm not interested in data, whether it's three pairs or four pairs, haven't I already taken them?"
"Fitness problems? It's a puzzle, and I'm not going to reveal it. How is my fitness? All I can tell you is enough! ”
"Scarlett? Jessica? This is the basketball court dude, so let's end this interview. Goodbye audience friends. ”
Suxi waved at the camera, leaving a dashing back.
This is always in the Sushi style.
There is a strong air of pretense.
However, what he said is the truth, and you can't argue with it.
In contrast, the Lakers are very sad right now. They were ambitious and wanted to turn the world upside down. Before the finals begin, F4 plus Phil Jackson, you tell me how to lose?
Four games were played in the finals.
Karl Malone was sent to the hospital, and the Lakers lost three wins.
"How can the Lakers win? What can be done to change the current passive situation? ”
As soon as Phil Jackson walked into the players' tunnel, a reporter chased after him and asked.
The staff blocked the reporters, but Phil Jackson didn't stop, he staggered in like a giant duck.
He has never failed in the finals since he took charge.
He has zero finals failures in the past, led the team to the finals nine times, and won the championship nine times.
Now for the tenth time, he wants to do a ten-slam.
He had all figured out the lines of pretending.
Now, it doesn't seem to be needed.
Can the Lakers still win?
He kept asking himself on the way back to the locker room.
Theoretically, the Lakers still have a chance to live, but there really is only one chance of life.
…
After the game, the atmosphere in the Pacers' locker room was still very serious, and of course, there was also a lively atmosphere in the seriousness.
Reggie Miller has been saying that everyone should stay focused, don't relax, and be just one stop away from success.
Reggie Miller has waited too long, eighteen years in the blink of an eye.
Because he had waited so long, he had more patience to wait for another victory.
The Pacers players are also well aware that the Lakers are not going to sit still, and now is not the time to celebrate.
But that didn't stop Sushi from walking into the locker room, and all his teammates rushed up and threw the victory hero high.
Suhi's core position has been repeatedly certified and has long been rock-solid.
Tonight is even more powerful proof that Suhey is the most indispensable superhero for the Pacers.
Larry Bird then called the Los Angeles players to congratulate them on match point. Also bring the owner's greeting, this greeting is real, although the NBA does not allow the owner to give bonuses to players in addition to the contract, but there is always a way to get around.
After talking to Larry Bird on the phone, Suhi receives another call from Isaiah Thomas.
Isaiah Thomas congratulated Suhi on an important victory, and he was happiest that Suhi had solved his fitness problems, and he also thanked Suhi for teaching Karl Malone a hard lesson, destroying his championship dreams, and leaving him on his knees.
Isaiah Thomas hated Karl Malone very much.
Then, Nike also called to congratulate him.
Nike is now in pain and happy, even though the huge prize money makes them feel pain. However, if Suhi leads the team to defeat the OK group in his rookie season and wins the Finals MVP, Suhi's popularity on the court will also reach an unprecedented peak.
Nike will definitely get a big wave of dividends because of this, and they will definitely promote Suxi as the first resource, and they have even thought of labels such as 'alliance successor' and 'ruler of the new era'.
With that going to be a bit embarrassing for James.
But no matter which way you look at it, Suhi in her rookie season went further than LeBron James and is more suitable as a successor. And, once he wins the title, it can be said that he has opened a new era.
It was a lively night, Suxi's mobile phone kept ringing, there were many calls he didn't answer, and there were many text messages that he didn't even have time to click on.
In fact, the phones of the other Pacers players in the locker room are similar to this.
It is foreseeable that once they win the championship, their mobile phone business will be busier.
…
Suhi woke up from his hotel bed at noon the next day, and then he watched Kobe Bryant's sworn speech at the postgame press conference on the television. "For me, second place is the biggest loser. I'm not going to let us lose this series, we're going to complete the redemption. ”
Bryant and Shaq O'Neal looked at each other at the press conference.
They staged the generals on the spot.
This is cheering up Lakers fans.
Suhi's feelings can only be said... OK.
He doesn't think Kobe and O'Neal can really be united, their relationship has been accumulating, and they are already a structural conflict. There is no such thing as being inseparable overnight.
And, in good times, the probability of them joining forces is higher. In the face of adversity, they are all players who believe in themselves more.
Kobe Bryant is a super outside line on the rise, and he has infinite confidence in himself.
Shaq is the league's No. 1 center who has just slipped off his peak and still has a dominant power, and he doesn't think he'll be replaced by a milky little guard, and he feels that the way he dominates the game is still the mainstream in the league today.
Syllable!
Suhee turned off the TV.
After washing up and eating lunch, Suhi watched the video of the game for half an hour, and then he went to the hotel gym to train as usual.
Suhi's life is not as wonderful as many people describe, and it doesn't mean that a boy who falls in love with two Hollywood goddesses at the same time is necessarily a playboy, he is very likely to be a training maniac.
With Suhi gaining two super physical talents of Dawei and Xiaowei, plus his super recovery ability. Playing the whole game is no longer a problem for Suhey, but he still wants to know where his limits are.
So, he trained like crazy in the gym.
Practice from the afternoon until the evening.
He barely stopped.
And the video was quickly posted online by the gym's caring people, and it sparked a new discussion.
After last night's game, there have been Lakers fans who suspect Suhi of doping today, otherwise there is no explanation why Suhi has changed like a bone.
Suhi had a urine test after the game.
The urine test report is available at noon.
There is nothing wrong with the display.
Then the Los Angeles media suspected that Sushi was taking high-tech products, and the current test cannot detect it.
There are also conspiracy theories that the league is taking advantage of the Pacers and deliberately fooling them around.
There are various theories.
Time Warner even took the trouble to open a show to talk about the whole thing, and also called in some experts, some experts said that if Sushi the Sheep was doping, then he would definitely be very depressed now. And it's not going to last long, he'll be in the next game.
This has even become the main proof that Los Angeles fans believe that the Lakers can create a 1:3 historical comeback.
And the video of Suxi Fitness was circulated on the Internet at this time.
In the picture, Suxi has been training all kinds of equipment, from aerobic to anaerobic, from equipment to stretching... Suhi didn't stop at all.
Although some Los Angeles netizens questioned that this was a previous videotape, not today.
But, does it matter?
If it's before, then it can only mean that Jack has been hiding it.
And if it were today, Su Xi would definitely not have taken any stimulants, which also proves that Su Xi's physical fitness is sufficient.
In fact, doesn't doping increase excitement, explosiveness, and the like?
…
A lot happened on the first day after the race.
The media isn't just talking about Suhey's fitness.
There is also a discussion of Suhi's achievements.
In the past, public opinion more or less 'suppressed' Suxi's achievements, and between reporting James and Suhi, James's positive praise was undoubtedly more.
But when the game reached the Finals, James went home fishing for almost two months, and the NBA game news was only the Finals.
Suhi's super triple-double and super dunk were shocked at this time, and she will have a chance to win the Finals MVP immediately.
The media can't hold it anymore.
They simply opened up the discussion. "Is Suxi the Sheep the real leader of the 2003 Golden Generation?"
"Will Suxi the Sheep be the true Destiny of the Class of 2003?"
"Is Susie the Sheep the best talent in the class of 2003?"
"Has Sushy really opened up the gap with James and Cameron?"
The conclusions of these discussions were mixed.
However, as long as there is such a large-scale discussion, it has already proved that Suxi is far ahead. Maybe after the start of the new season, LeBron, James, Carmelo and Anthony can make a comeback.
But if Sushi wins the Finals MVP this season, everything will be completely different.
James can only pray that Suhee will not win the Finals MVP.
This Finals MVP will completely turn his one-half of the best rookie into a boring one, even a 'joke'.
And Suxi, who has the blessing of the MVP of the finals, will inevitably become the first and leader of the class of 2003.
No way, this is too hard to be hard.
Unless Suhi's performance continues to decline after that, and James Anthony they get better and better.
That's why not only the TV was smashed in James's house, but also the stereo.
…
Karl Malone's injury report came out around noon the next day, and he broke a bone.
His season is over, and he won't be in the Finals.
His career is also over.
Karl Malone's agent looked very sad when he talked about it, but he still encouraged the Lakers to continue to work hard and hope that the Lakers can win the championship.
Moreover, it has also been suggested that with such a serious injury to Karl Malone, shouldn't Bender, who made him injured, be suspended?
But this is not the mainstream opinion.
After all, the referee didn't even award a foul to Bender.
As long as anyone who has watched the video of the game knows that Ma Long's injury is self-inflicted, and the reward of the Heavenly Dao Wheel should be unhappy.
If Karl Malone hadn't meant to hurt someone, would he have been hurt?
I can't sympathize with Carl Malone at all.
And the sad thing for Malone is that Lakers fans are not only grateful for him.
Instead, there is a lot of 'reflection' on the internet.
"Is it because of Karl Malone's championship curse that we played so poorly in this year's finals? He brought the Lakers to a downturn. ”
"Our lineup is so good, without Ma Long, we can win three consecutive championships, with him, why can't it be?"
"He's never proven himself in the finals, and he's been venting his personal grudges and inspiring Suhi the Sheep."
"The Lakers really shouldn't have signed him. Hopefully, the Lakers can win the next game without him. ”
"It will definitely ......"
“…”
