927 The feast that belongs to you

The Warriors fulfilled their promise, Larry Bourne was the protagonist of the game, and after the game, Nelson even took him to a press conference.

At the press conference, the reporters focused on Larry, congratulating him on setting many records of NHAR spoons and asked him about his feelings about NHAR spoons.

Larry said happily: "It's great, you know what I mean. NHA is really great. This is the best sports game in the world. I like it so much. I bet that friends in the United States must envy me now. You know, when I told my friends that I was going to play the NHAR spoon, they were all shocked."

"Then do you have any plans in the future?" Li Qun asked with a smile.

Larry thought for a while and said, "Yes, I have a plan. I will work hard to recover, cooperate with the treatment of doctors, uncles and aunts, and then restore my body to health. At the same time, I will continue to strengthen my basketball skills and exercise my body. I believe that I will still be able to play NH in the future."

Li Qun smiled and said, "Then let us look forward to your comeback in the future. I think that day will not be very far away, right?"

That day was not close, but it really came in the end. No one could have thought about how much impact some people could have on the world inadvertently helping some people.

At the end of the game in Auckland, the Warriors embarked on a preseason trip in Asia, where they had to play three games in mainland China and Hong Kong.

Logically, the battle between Yao and Zhang was still the biggest gimmick in the Chinese game, and the Warriors and the Rockets met in Guangzhou.

After the game started, the Warriors took the lead in attacking, and Carter made a breakthrough dunk directly. Scola pulled him down, and Carter added 2 points to the team through free throws.

Xiao Bu quickly hit back with a jump shot, but after that, Jamison and Chamberlain teamed up to score 6 points, and the Warriors reached a climax at the beginning.

After that, the Rockets' two defenders, Bud and Martin, suddenly exerted their strength, leading the team back to a climax and overtaken the score as a l plan. The scores of both sides rose alternately, and the Rockets will lead slightly until the end of the first quarter. The Rockets led their opponents 2-19 and ended with 4 points.

Both sides sent a substitute lineup in the second quarter, and Hayes also performed on the offensive end, scoring 4 points in a row to help the Rockets maintain a 6-point lead.

After that, on the Warriors, Iverson led the substitutes to a climax of offensiveness, and the Rockets' 6-point advantage established before was immediately chased to tie 2-2.

Then Curry seized a mistake in the Rockets to overtake the score. Coach had to replace Buk and Martin with the main players. After several rounds, the two sides drew again, 37 to 37, but the Warriors were still a group of substitutes fighting.

With 2 minutes left in this quarter, Martin successfully completed the 2I Rockets overtook the score again. However, the Rockets did not score again since then, and Carter and Iverson, who returned to the field, teamed up to give 4 points.

After halftime, the Warriors led by 2 points 47-45.

After the game changed, both sides continued the feeling of the first half.

The Rockets scored B points in succession under the leadership of Jeffries and Hayes. In the Warriors, the four major defenders showed their strengths. Old Nelson sent a very strange lineup, with Jamison playing as center, Carter, West, Curry and Iverson.

The four major defenders led the team to recover 6 points without showing any weakness, and the two sides tied 6-6 soon after the start of the third quarter.

Curry made a three-pointer on the right wing, and the Rockets' Bardinger scored 6 points in a row, and the Rockets once again established a 4-point lead.

However, the Warriors' outside line was simply unstoppable, and they immediately hit a climax, overtaking the score to 63-6.

Bardinger made a jump shot from the free throw line, followed by another jump shot from the right wing. The continuous score at the critical moment helped the Rockets overtake the score again.

The problem with the Warriors is that their inside lacks strength and height. Since then, the four major defenders have continued to break through and make fouls, and have won consecutive free throws. The Rockets have also scored continuously in the inside. After three quarters, the Rockets led their opponents by 6 points 2-6.

In the last quarter, Curry came up and gave away points, and West's scoring performance also began. He scored 7 points in a row, and the Rockets had to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the Rockets scored 4 points in a row at the basket with Patterson, and the Warriors chased the score to 75-76.

Carter and West once again staged a scoring drama, helping the Warriors overtake 1 point with 79/1. After that, the two sides started to compete, but the Warriors opened their full-fire line and led the Rockets by 4 points after several rounds of attack.

Hayes scored a layup and Jamison scored a goal from the outside. Although the Rockets struggled in the end, they had no time. In the end, the Rockets lost to the Warriors 93-99.

At about the same time, the Heat defeated the Pistons with 1069 in their second preseason game, but what made Heat fans new was that Wade was injured.

When the game was just over 17 seconds, Wade staggered on the court. He accidentally wounded his right thigh, then entered the locker room, and did not return to the court.

Heat coach Spolstra said Wade's injury is not serious and the team will reassess the injury within a week.

Chamberlain watched the game replay. At that time, Wade was trying to follow Richard Hamilton, who was defending the Pistons. Hamilton used Ben Wallace's cover to bypass the crowd to catch the ball. Wade also chased him reluctantly. Just as they ran from the low post one after another, Wade suddenly stopped. He grabbed his right thigh, gestured to the bench, and then pressed his hand on his leg again.

Even so, Wade was still trying to lead a counterattack. When the ball rolled in front of him after a fight, he could not exert all his strength, but he picked up the ball with one left hand, then threw it into the front court casually, trying to send the ball to James who was rushing to the front court through a 13-meter long pass.

Then when the ball went out of bounds in one round, Wade limped off the field.

Wade felt a little uncomfortable in his legs long before the game. In a fight with Pistons forward Jerry Buco before the injury, Wade felt his thighs were "pulled".

From the night of the injury to the next day, Wade's thighs continued to be sore.

The Heat still held training as usual, and Wade appeared on the training ground. Although his pain had not diminished, he still insisted on walking with his feet, which also showed that he was injured without any serious injury.

At present, there is still no exact timetable for when Wade will recover from injury. He is currently ready to not play for two weeks. James said in an interview that it may take "several weeks" for Wade's injury to recover, and then quickly added that "it may be less."

But Wade himself seemed full of confidence, and he said, "I will come back, it won't be long, I just need a few days to rest."

Head coach Spoelstra said Wade will undergo an MRI test, and Wade has not received any notice of the test yet.

There is only one thing that the Heat has reached a consensus: if the injury is about to break out sooner or later, then it will happen now, which is better than the real eight battles, which of course, the Heat hopes to go further.

"I told Wade that if there was an injury among us, I would rather it happen now than after the game really started," James said.

Wade has always been regarded as the absolute core of the Heat. Now after he leaves the court, the Heat are facing a shift in focus.

Discussions about who can become the team leader of James or Wade have been ongoing. Although signs of Wade occupying the core position can be seen in previous public occasions, when the team opened up and started playing a game, Wade left the court due to injury and had no chance to compete with James at all, and the game naturally fell into James' control.

Miami people have deeply experienced the pain of losing Wade for many years.

In the 2070B season where Wade was injured for the last three games, the dispersed Heat only achieved a bleak record of 15 wins and 6 losses.

Now, with the strong help from James and Bosh, the Miami media, who have always been sensitive to Wade's injuries, has finally let go of it.

The Miami Courier said that there was only "concern" about Wade's injury, not "panic", while Wade himself was more optimistic.

However, more fans still hope that Wade can come back soon, at least before the regular season, because the first game of the regular season was the Warriors with Chamberlain and the Big Three Heat.

Old Nelson doesn't take the Big Three seriously. Although he keeps praising the team for being very powerful in front of the media, he has said more than once that Wade is basically aborted, Riley is too ruthless in the game, and the Flash is at most at the same level as West now.

This made West very unhappy. He had been thinking about whether Old Nelson's metaphor was praising him or belittled him?

The preseason has only been going on for a while, and many teams have problems. Not only the Heat, but also the Lakers, the favorite to win the championship, have also experienced an injury crisis.

The Lakers' injuries were self-inflicted. Zen Master Jackson had been emphasizing the stability of the lineup. Although he had left the team in the summer, he replaced the Cavaliers coach Brown as the former player, and he could not rebuild the team at all.

Moreover, even if Brown wants to rebuild the team, it is basically impossible. After all, the Lakers were the second and third in the Western Conference in the previous league. What such a team wants is stability.

The disadvantage of stability is the aging of players. There are 9 players in this Lakers team that are up to or over 3 years old, and among the rotation lineup, only Bynum and Brown are under 3 years old.

The team's players recruited this summer, Blake, Barnes and Ratliff, are all over 3 years old, and Ratliff is even 37 years old.

Aging age brings one problem that is injuries.

Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, these players have played in the league for more than 10 seasons. Any minor injury or even fatigue factors will affect the performance of these core players. Don’t forget that there are old patients like Bynum in the Lakers.

After playing against the 76ers, Bynum made it clear: "I'm not ready yet, and my body is still recovering, but I feel a little progress every day." He even hinted that he might miss the start of the regular season and would not walk on the court until early February.

Barnes and Walton have also suffered hamstring injuries in recent times.

In this way, if Bynum is injured again in the new season, Brown can only significantly reduce his playing time in order to take into account the overall situation. The Lakers have lost patience with Bynum's injury. Brown is no better than Zen master Jackson. Bynum is a child raised by his stepmother in his heart. He directly stated that if Bynum is injured again in the new season, he will use the Rockets to limit Yao Ming's playing time to limit Bynum's playing time.

The Lakers do not want Bynum to suffer any injuries in the new season. The team hopes that the young center can make great progress and help the Lakers withstand Chamberlain even if they can win a championship in the future.

But in the past three years, Bynum's injury has been plaguing the Lakers. For 26 years, the Lakers were defeated to the Celtics in the finals because Bynum was injured and missed the Finals. Bynum returned in the first round of the playoffs last season.
