Chapter 203(1/2)
Author: Can play the harmonica
Everything was originally going in a direction favorable to the Lakers.
But the accident happened near the end of the first quarter.
After Kobe Bryant made a jump shot, he suddenly fell to the ground and covered his ankle in pain!
"Oops!" Alan Zucker said, "It looks like Kobe is injured."
"Yes, he looks a little in pain." A Smith also said, "Judging from the position where he is covering his ankle, it seems to be the location where he was injured last time."
"Isn't it because the wound has recurred?" Alan Zak said.
"I hope not." A Smith said, "The biggest fear of this kind of ankle sprain is that it will relapse before it heals, because the second time it is injured, it may be more difficult to heal."
At this time, the game on the court had been suspended, and all the Lakers players gathered around Kobe.
Even Nowitzki walked over and asked about Kobe's condition.
Lu Yusheng was also worried for a while, but he must not get hurt. Only he knew how much effort Kobe had put in to come back this time. Moreover, now is the time when the Lakers are really adjusting and gaining momentum.
Both the Lakers and Lu Yusheng hope that Kobe can stay on the court and play.
On the big screen above the arena, the replay of the video of Kobe Bryant's jumper landing just now began.
"Oh, we can clearly see from the video that when Kobe landed after his jump shot, he actually stepped on Nowitzki's foot, which caused a slight twist of the ankle." Ai
Lenzak said.
"Yes, Kobe's right ankle has just been injured," A. Smith said, "so it is extremely fragile and is indeed prone to injury at this time. Oh, God, what I was most worried about happened. This is indeed the last time Kobe suffered an injury.
The injured part.”
"But this is the first game that Kobe has just returned from injury. Who could have known that it would be like this... Now I can only pray that Kobe will be fine..."
At this time, Lakers team doctor Gary Vitti walked into the court and asked about Kobe's condition.
Kobe shook his head, "I'm fine, I feel like I can still play."
As he said that, he stood up with the help of his teammates and tried to move his ankle on the ground. "Oh, Gary Vitti, I feel good. It shouldn't be too bad. I think I can continue to play."
"No, absolutely not!" Gary Vitti firmly shook his head and rejected Kobe.
"Hey, old man, I'm not lying to you. This time it's true. I feel that the pain just now was only temporary pain. It probably didn't hurt the inside. I didn't feel any pain. I can continue to hit him."
"Kobe, I'm the team doctor, you have to listen to me," Gary Vitti said. "You have to know that this kind of repeated injury can pose a fatal threat if you don't pay attention to protection, especially at the ankle.
, may threaten your career, and you don’t want to end your career by winning these three championships, right?”
The previous words did not make Kobe Bryant's stubbornness shrink back, but Gary Vitti's last words immediately made Kobe honest.
Kobe shook his head helplessly and could only walk off the court.
"Oh, it seems like Kobe's injury was not as serious as we thought," Alan Zucker said. "At least he was not helped off the court by his teammates, but walked off the court on his own."
"Well, I hope he's really fine. I just saw that he was arguing with their team doctor Gary Vitti. Kobe seemed to want to stay on the court, but Gary Vitti didn't agree."
"This is normal," Alan Zucker said. "Under normal circumstances, team doctors are cautious and consider the long-term health of the athletes. It is impossible to just consider the outcome of one or two games.
Athletes take risks and stay on the court to continue playing. Besides, this is just a regular season game after all. It is really not important enough to bet on the career of an athlete of Kobe's level. I think it is better to get off the court and rest first, and wait until I have an MRI at night.
, after the result comes out, if nothing happens, then we can consider playing basketball again. I think this will be a more reasonable arrangement."
"But after Kobe comes off the court, I think it will have an impact on the Lakers' current rhythm on the court," A. Smith said. "Kobe played very well tonight. He entered an excellent personal attack state from the beginning, and he is getting better and better."
The better, so the strategy adopted by the Lakers from the first quarter to the present is to play everything around Kobe. All tactics are centered around Kobe's offensive service. Now that Kobe is suddenly not on the court, I think the Lakers'
It may be difficult for other teammates to adapt for a while, and their offensive rhythm may be interrupted."
"So at this time, how do you think Zen Master Phil Jackson should arrange it?" Aronzak asked.
"Oh, this is too simple. The answer is obvious, and there is only one, that is to replace Lu Yusheng quickly and let him quickly stabilize the morale of the army. Moreover, he will also use it to organize everyone and let them enter another offensive rhythm.
go."
But during this pause, the Zen Master did not immediately bring Lu Yusheng up as A. Smith said.
Regarding this, Lu Yusheng is completely understandable. After all, just like the previous games, if Kobe is unable to play in the remaining games, then Lu Yusheng will become the absolute core of the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks.
Focus on taking care of the object until the end of the game, so he needs adequate rest.
Moreover, after all, the score on the court is currently even, and the Lakers even have a lead. Therefore, at this time, there is absolutely no need to replace Lu Yusheng on the court.
Lu Yusheng really hopes that his Lakers teammates can be more effective and maintain this advantage in the future.
After all, the Lakers do have players who have increased their numbers this season. Players like Odom and Bynum have grown very quickly, and they are already able to stand alone in the paint.
If it weren't for Kwame Brown still occupying the starting position, in fact, based on Bynum's current performance, Lu Yusheng feels that he is actually better than Kwame Brown, especially on the defensive end. His positional sense is actually
Much better than Kwame Brown.
Kwame Brown has a great body, fast bounce and good bounce, but this is also a common problem of some athletes who are too physically conditioned. They always like to jump more on the defensive end. After all, in the early stages of their careers, because of their physical limitations,
Others are too good, so they can basically block shots from the jump.
But after arriving in the NBA, this habit must be corrected immediately, otherwise it will be really a disadvantage in defense.
During the recent period, Lu Yusheng carefully observed Bynum and found that this kid is still good. On the offensive end, he has not yet seen too much talent, but on the defensive end, he is definitely worth looking forward to. This kid's defensive positioning sense is still
Very good.
And he has a good attitude and active defense. At least he hasn't shown his stupid basketball IQ later in the game.
Odom's improvement is that he is more comprehensive, and his previously unstable shooting is now obviously better.
Of course, this is also due to the arrival of Lu Yusheng, which changed the Lakers team and gave other teammates more opportunities.
Also benefiting was Vujacic. Under the influence of Lu Yusheng, his data reached a career high.
Especially scoring, with the support of Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics, he benefited a lot. Most of his points were scored after receiving Lu Yusheng's pass and jumping directly after the pick-and-roll.
Therefore, Lu Yusheng estimated that even if he does not play for the time being, the Lakers should not collapse for a while, at least they can maintain it.
But Lu Yusheng only counted their progress, but forgot one thing, that is, their progress was entirely due to his super organizational ability and containment.
When Lu Yusheng was not on the court, they could not find the rhythm of offense and defense at all.
Therefore, not long after the timeout due to Kobe's injury, the Dallas Mavericks quickly overtook the score and stopped the Lakers.
Lu Yusheng sat on the court and shook his head. He really underestimated the impact of an excellent point guard on the situation on the court.
Devin Harris of the Dallas Mavericks faced Smushpark, and it can be said that he got everything he asked for, broke through, and the organization was omnipotent.
And their shooting guard Jason Terry was even more comfortable without the defensive pressure of Kobe's level. Vujacic had no way to restrict him and scored continuously, just like Jordan coming.
As for the Lakers, because their offense could not find a rhythm, their defensive enthusiasm was also affected. They made consecutive mistakes, and soon the Dallas Mavericks reached a ten-point lead.
At this time, the Zen master could not sit still and hurriedly asked for a timeout.
"The Lakers' timeout is probably to replace Lu Yusheng." Alan Zucker said. "When the Lakers lost Kobe, Lu Yusheng was the absolute backbone. I don't understand why Jackson never replaced him immediately.
Come up."
"Yes, I'm very confused too," Smith said. "I think Master Jackson still overestimates the Lakers. Without Lu Yusheng and Kobe, they are completely in disarray and it is impossible to withstand the Mavericks' offense.
Yes, it turns out that he just replaced Lu Yusheng now, which is a bit too much."
"Yes, and I think that if Lu Yusheng comes up from this backward situation now, he will be under a lot of pressure and it may affect his rhythm." Alan Zak said.
"I'm not too worried about this." Smith said with a smile, "You may not watch Lu's games very much and don't know much about them. In fact, Lu Yusheng has been playing this kind of game recently. Anyway, I have watched them for so long.
Lu Yusheng seems to have been facing such competitions."
"Really?"
"Of course, so I've been really angry with Zen Master recently. Playing Lu Yusheng early could solve the problem, but every time he waits until the team is completely behind before he thinks of playing Lu Yusheng, so basically every time
, Lu Yusheng always plays against the wind after entering the game.
But fortunately, this kid is very capable. He seems to be very suitable for playing this kind of headwind game. No matter how difficult it is, he seems to have a way to solve the problem and win in the end. So I said, actually I am not too worried about letting Lu Yusheng
Going into a game against a headwind, I'm just worried that Master Zen will make another mysterious operation."
Alan Zucker laughed.
After the timeout ended, Zen Master sent Lu Yusheng as expected.
The Lakers served and Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court.
Devin Harris stepped forward to defend.
Lu Yusheng was not greedy and passed the ball directly to Luke Walton.
"After Lu Yusheng came up, he didn't rush to play pick-and-roll tactics. Instead, he started with their regular triangle offense." Alan Zak said.
"Yes, this is his habit. Every time he comes up, he still plays the triangle offense first. Maybe he still wants to follow the rhythm of his teammates first. After all, the triangle offense is their main tactic. Everyone is familiar with this tactic."
Smith said.
On the court, Luke Walton held the ball at the free throw line to provide support, and Lu Yusheng directed his teammates' movements.
Lu Yusheng took advantage of Odom's cover to get a chance!
Luke Walton's ball was given instantly!
