533 Two conflicts (still

Oden's end was a huge blow to the Trail Blazers. Fans looked at their bench disappointed. After a rough inspection, Oden helped him into the player's passage leading to the locker room.

The dark passage seemed like a monster's mouth, and Oden limped and walked slowly into the team doctor's support. His tall back was a little hunched, as if there was a piece of dead tree without anger.

Chamberlain stood on the court and looked at him, feeling very uncomfortable. Oden has been completely scrapped this season, and it is not certain whether he can return healthy next season, because he is a serious injury. His knee injury has not completely recovered before. It was just because the media hyped the first insider battle in 2007 and Oden himself was not convinced and wanted to fight against Mr. Li to prove himself, so he came out to fight as soon as the team encouraged him.

Hill shook his head and said, "He is too young after all, just like when I was young. He shouldn't have played at this time. This comeback will definitely make him regret it."

NHAR Scoop History Club recorded that on 209-09-4, the 207th rookie No. 1 pick, the last local super center who was entrusted with great hope by American fans, Greg Oden, nicknamed the Great, participated in the away game against the Warriors. In the game, he played for 14 minutes, scored 2 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The data is very good, and he got such a result in the matchup with Chamberlain. However, many years later, when fans were discussing this game, they probably wouldn't remember that Oden scored such data in 14 minutes. They would only say that the No. 1 pick is a parallel player, and his best results in confrontation were 2 points and 6 rebounds.

Hill is sure that fans will say this because he has been forgotten by fans now. Speaking of him now, fans, especially those new generation fans, will say that Grant Hill is a glass man, but will not say that he once defeated the leader of the gang and was elected All-Star vote king in his peak era. He was once the successor of the leader of the gang, and he once defeated Kobe Iverson Carter and the gentlemen who were embarrassed.

On 2nd January 2, 206, Hill led the Pistons visit the United Center Arena and challenged the Chicago Bulls. At this time, the Bulls were no longer the king of the past, but one of the worst teams in the league. The Pistons performed normally, and Hill handled the ball with ease. However, during the game, he and Bulls rookie Ron He Tester collided fiercely in a fight. Hill was injured in his hip muscles and had to leave the field early.

Only B points were scored in this game, which lowered Hill's average score and influenced his position in the scoring champion competition. But if you know the consequences later, you will feel that compared with this collision, a scoring king or even a championship ring or an MP trophy is nothing. The reality of leaving the team encourages Hill. He is a perfectionist and does not want to bear the infamy of "leaving, so he preserves his strength, and he is a minor illness and a big recovery." So although his body still has pain, Hill only took a rest and continued to go on the battlefield. The team doctor checked, and it was just a simple muscle injury and a hip position that didn't exert much force, which did not affect the overall situation. At that time, everyone thought so.

But less than a week before the end of the regular season, the nightmare was staged again. Facing the Miami Heat and facing his old opponent Mashburn, Hill easily made a freehand painting, and threw a very casual little change in front of him behind him and easily scored a layup. That was the last performance of the healthy Hill staying on the court. In the next attack, Hill had severely sprained his left ankle and had to withdraw from the game. Hill was in pain on the sidelines, and the TV broadcasting camera clearly frozen on his ankle injury, which made people unable to bear to read. Those who have played the ball know that this sprain should be about 2 hours after the injury, and the seriousness of the injury was swelling.

Afterwards, it was proved that Hill's sprain was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. In fact, the hidden danger of injury had been buried after the collision with Artesterdam. Hill could endure the bruises on her buttocks and persist in the game, but his body would unconsciously protect himself, thereby subtly changing his running posture, which puts greater pressure on the left ankle. Hill's offensive method is mainly about breakthroughs, and his large-scale start and stop are the most severe toll on the ankle. As a result, Hill's left ankle began to run overload. After three months of tossing like this, he finally couldn't hold it back. With a bang, everything was over.

In fact, if Hill could rest on the sickbed at this time, with her medical level at that time, although she was seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a long time, she would not be able to recover. However, Hill's stubborn personality once again jumped out to make a decision, and this decision completely led to the tragedy. If it were some other players, they might have considered their careers more, but Hill was paranoid that since he wanted to leave the Pistons, he had to do his best. Now he is a Pistons, and he must seize everything and contribute more to the team. In this way, even if he leaves in the future, he will have a clear conscience.

At this time, Hill should have given up on his comeback and went to the hospital for treatment, but if that was the case, he would not be Grant Hill. A week later, he once again ignored everyone's opposition and appeared in the first game of the playoffs with the Heat. Wearing three layers of socks and two layers of bandages, he still couldn't resist the heart-wrenching pain in his ankles.

In what happened later, every NHAI fan was familiar with. The Proud of Heaven lost his dazzling aura. Jordan's successor became a glass man. He never recovered from his peak. Sadly, Hill died before he reached his peak.

There is no extra time for Hill to sigh that the game continues and there is still one and a half months to play.

Oden's departure put the Trail Blazers in an unprecedented downturn. They thought that Oden would soon be in the playoffs and even the Western Conference Finals with them. As a result, Oden was injured again. Now they completely lost confidence in him and the team's future.

In order to take care of the emotions of the Trail Blazers players and fans, Old Nelson replaced West. The Mad Dog was wronged and angry. Fortunately, Wei Shengmei came to the scene to watch the game today. Under her comfort, West could only suppress her depression and sit on the bench to watch her teammates show their power.

Iverson, who made a comeback, was unparalleled. He broke into the basket twice in a row and scored a basket, constantly expanding the Warriors' lead. Evans, who came on the bench, also took the opportunity to play. Chamberlain attracted double-teams from Pullsbila and Aldridge, and Evans rushed to the basket to receive the ball and dunked.

Roy's super strength was demonstrated. After his teammates' mood fell into a slump, the young commander did not blame them, but stood up. He first stole from Jackson, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt Yuba's three-pointer to make a three-pointer, and then he grabbed a rebound from Chamberlain after Billups made a three-pointer, assisting Aldridge to score a goal on the left wing, narrowing the gap in the score.

Seeing this, Chamberlain no longer held back. He played Pullsbyla with a tough layup under the basket and caused the opponent to foul and made a 2I. Then in the Trail Blazers' offense, he forced Aldridge to hold the ball in the penalty area and could not take action and turned into an offense - a second violation, so the gap opened again.

The Warriors' ball was right, Chamberlain attacked Aldridge and caused the opponent to foul, and then made both free throws, and then grabbed the rebound and entered the penalty area to get the ball again. The Trail Blazers' inside line was broken with a breakthrough hook.

Roy led the outside attack, and Huang Mamba showed his fangs that were oozing venom. After Chamberlain scored with a hook shot, he made a mid-range shot. Chamberlain rushed into the basket and dunked. Roy made an emergency stop and jump shot again, helping the team keep the score disadvantage within single digits.

Unfortunately, the others of the Trail Blazers performed poorly, Batum was intercepted, Aldridge missed the basket many times, and Pullzbila fouled while grabbing the rebound. In the last three minutes, the Warriors' offensive was even more fierce, and Billups assisted Chamberlain to stage a good show of aerial relay. After the offense and defense transition, Chamberlain used tough hand-to-hand defense to make Aldridge perform without any performance on the offensive end. The fans were not wrong. Now he is just a soft ball. Facing Chamberlain's elbows and fists, he retreated step by step, getting farther and farther away from the penalty area.

Seeing this, the Trail Blazers fans were very sad and missed the scene when Oden was there even more.

Aldridge missed two long shots in a row. After all, the farther away from the ring, the lower the shooting rate. Roy took on the team's burden. He broke through Billups and Iverson's double-team layup, and used his best efforts to drive the team. Fernandez was full of passion, but he was a little anxious, and he failed to seize several better opportunities, and was also called an offensive foul.

With more than 1 minute left in this quarter, Chamberlain once again played Pullsbyla at the back of the basket and scored 2l. Iverson even stole Roy's pass and fast break layup. The difference between the two teams began to widen. In the last attack before the game, Roy missed a three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers lag behind the Warriors with a big score of 59B.

In the last quarter, Nelson pushed Chamberlain to the bench, and the Warriors began to launch a crazy attack from the outside again. Trail Blazers coach Mike didn't want to give up the game, so he had no choice but to send River Lafrenz, who had been frozen on the bench recently.

Lafrenz is a big center, but his main attack point is outside the - point line. Although he has a figure of more than 2l0mR, he is not good at low post attacks. Because his inside style is not tough enough and he likes to attack on the outside, he is not likable in the team, especially after Aldridge, who is similar to his style and has stronger abilities and potential, and after the All-Star Game, he has been on the bench.

But this has achieved miraculous results. Lafrenz's ball quotient is quite high, and he does not take action blindly, but once he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely be a long shot on the outside. He also performed well on the defensive end. Although he was quite soft on the offense, he worked very hard on the defense. The blocking level allowed Evans and Curry, who came on the bench, to suffer a lot.

Lafrenz roamed the outside at a height of 7 feet one. Evans didn't pay attention and he made a hit. Roy assisted him twice in a row to attack, and then Curry's breakthrough layup was blocked by him. Evans dunked under the basket behind him, and also took Lafrenz's fierce hat.

However, the Warriors' overall attack momentum remained unabated. West and Hill's breakthroughs were in a hurry with the Trail Blazers who shot in the mid-range shot, so the Warriors maintained a double-digit lead. In the end, after eight minutes in the fourth quarter, Mike finally accepted the result and replaced Roy helplessly - Huang Mamba was so tired that she was almost unable to stand firm. The team was too weak and could only rely on his own offense to support it. The defensive end had to watch attack experts like Iverson or West, which was too tired.

Mike knew very well that he had lost Oden, and if he lost Roy again, the team would be over.
