I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 106 Ma Long was injured, thanks to the harmonious society

2004 6 Month 8 Day.

The Lakers moved to Detroit to prepare for Game [-] of the Finals the next day.

At the airport, the Lakers finally accepted interviews with local reporters.

"Liu, I think you don't seem very happy today."

the reporter asked.

Liu He nodded: "Of course! This season, we can't continue to dedicate wonderful games to the fans in Los Angeles!"

The format of this year's finals is: host, host, guest, host, host.

That year, the Lakers tied 1-1 in the first two home games, and then ushered in 3 consecutive away games, and finally failed to return to Los Angeles.

But now, the Lakers are 2-0 in the first two games, and the situation is completely different.

Even in the worst case, losing all 3 away games, they can still return to Los Angeles for the last fight.

As for the best case, it is natural to win 3 of the 2 away games, so that the Lakers don't need to return to Los Angeles.

The implication of Liu He's words is that we will resolve the battle within 5 games.

In this way, the Lakers really have no chance to return to the Staples Center this season and play in front of Los Angeles fans.

Low EQ: We'll win this series quickly.

High EQ: It's a pity that I can't continue to dedicate wonderful games to Los Angeles fans.

The reporter suddenly smiled: "Liu, our fans are also very happy to win the away game. Also, don't delay the battle until the fifth game if it is not necessary."

Liu He: "Ok, ok, ok... I listen to the fans most!"

In this way, Liu He walked into the airport corridor.

6 month 9 day.

In the league's famous Devil's home stadium - the Palace Arena of Auburn Hills, the Lakers continued to beat the Pistons in the first half like autumn leaves.

The battle between Larry Brown and Joe Dumars, as well as the disastrous defeat in the first two games, still affected the morale of the Pistons to some extent.

At the end of the first half, 51:42, the Lakers established a 9-point lead.

Business as usual.

In the third quarter, the Lakers continued to expand the point difference.

Seeing that the point difference has reached double digits, the entire Palace of Auburn Hills arena is getting quieter...

But at this time, after taking off to compete for a rebound, Malone fell to the floor, and then he didn't get up for a long time, hugging his thigh in pain.

At this moment, the hearts of all the Lakers fell to the bottom.

The leg that Malone hugged was the one that was badly injured during the regular season.

He previously missed half of the regular season because of that leg.

The Lakers team doctor rushed out and gave Malone an emergency check.

turn out……

The team doctor shook his head at the anxious "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.

"Phil, I'm sorry! But... Karl really can't play anymore!"

Phil covered his forehead for a moment.

What is more painful is Malone.

He is still trying to struggle: "What if it is closed? I can persist..."

The team doctor shook his head decisively: "That won't work either!"

Ma Long lowered his head and clenched his fists unwillingly.

After a long time, he just patted the floor unwillingly, and then lay face down on the stretcher, not letting anyone see his face.

When I die, replace me again!
Most of the stars of the older generation are like this, they are very dedicated, unlike the medical insurance cards of later generations who have to take turns at every turn.

At this moment, Ma Long's heart "dead".

Liu He chased after him and patted Ma Long on the back: "Hey, Carl, the game is not over yet. You just lie down and I will take you to win the championship!"

"You bloody bastard!"

Malone left the last sentence and was sent into the player channel.

Liu He shook his head helplessly.

Obviously the Lakers' playoff schedule this season is already very easy, but Malone is still injured, maybe some things are doomed and cannot be avoided.

No matter what happens, the game must go on.

Phil replaced Medvedenko here.

The current Lakers roster is:
O'Neal, Medvedenko, Liu He, Kobe, Payton.

The Pistons are still in the top five:
Big Ben, Rasheed, Prince, Hamilton, Billups.

Pistons attack.

Billups moved upfield and passed the ball directly to Rasheed in the low post.

Whether you admit it or not, the biggest weakness of the Lakers right now is the [-]th position.

Rasheed Wallace, one of the four great power forwards at the beginning of the century, faced the little-known Stanislav Medvedenko, and the gap was too big.

Billups knew what to do with the ball with his eyes closed.

I saw Rashid leaning back against Medvedenko and pushing back.

Medvedenko thought that Rashid was going to compete with him, so he hurriedly lowered his center of gravity and desperately resisted Rashid.

Sensing the change in Medvedenko, Rashid smiled instantly.

With just a turn around, Rashid passed Medvedenko, who had lowered his center of gravity, completely.

Rashid ran up two steps, an easy throw.

Swish!
64: 55.

After the goal, Rashid roared, and then stared at Medvedenko.

"Young man, Phil Jackson sent you out to play, not to travel."

"Did you defend me just now? Why can't I feel your presence at all?"

"Please play hard and don't make me feel so easy. This is a game, not a practice!"

……

We all know Rasheed Wallace "The Roaring God" is also a master of trash talk.

It's just that in the first few games, he played against Malone, knowing that trash talk is useless to Malone.

After all, Ma Long was beaten by trash talk of the level of "the postman doesn't go to work on weekends", and ordinary trash talk has no effect on Ma Long.

So Rasheed was quiet until now.

But now, Malone is injured, and the opponent has become Medvedenko, so trash talk will naturally come into play.

The 25-year-old Medvedenko is just a fledgling in front of Rashid, so tender!
Liu He didn't like it, so he hurried forward to comfort Medvedenko: "Stan, don't worry about what Rasheed said, just do what you should do."

Medvedenko nodded.

Liu He is very helpless, and his heart is bitter!

This kind of thing should be done by the team boss O'Neal and Kobe.

However, O'Neill has always disdained to do this, and the young Kobe is only concerned about himself now, and Liu He can only do this kind of thing by himself.

Lakers offense.

Liu He glanced at the system.

[The Last Stand badge has been triggered, increasing the finishing ability by 5%, for 3 minutes. 】

The feeling is coming!

Liu He first ambushed the bottom corner, and then took advantage of Kobe's start on one side to attract the attention of the Pistons, Liu He suddenly started.

Kobe had good vision and passed the ball in an instant.

Liu He received the ball.

At this moment, Hamilton has caught up.

It should be said that Hamilton is the one with the worst physical talent among the five Pistons, and his physical condition determines that he will not be an excellent defender.

But after a long time in the environment of the Pistons, even if he can't become a good defender, his defensive attitude and awareness will not be bad.

Hamilton would tightly entangle Liu He every round, causing Liu He a lot of trouble.

Just like now, Liu He just caught the ball, and Hamilton stuck up again.

But this time, Liu He didn't hesitate, directly pulled up against Hamilton, and forced a shot against Hamilton.

His own three-point shooting ability, coupled with the [Hundred Steps Through Yang] badge, triggered the [Break the Boat] badge...

Even if Curry came, he had to kneel down and sing conquest to Liu He.

In the TNT studio, Barkley explained: "Liu He ran out of position...Kobe passed...Liu He caught the ball...Unfortunately, Hamilton caught up, there was no room, so we had to continue looking for opportunities...What, Liu He Forcibly shooting? This is not very rational. But because Malone is injured, it is inevitable to be a little anxious, and it is understandable if there is a mentality problem... Good... the ball!"

Swish!
As the basketball passed Hamilton's fingertips, it crossed a long parabola and got into the basket.

Barkley was quiet.

"nice shot!"

After holding back for a long time, he said a good shot.

67: 55.

Cole on the side smiled.

"Charles, of course it's unreasonable for a role player to play like this. But Liu is not a role player, your vision is outdated!"

"Indeed!"

As long as it is against Barkley, Kenny Smith will naturally help the situation.

Barkley should learn from CCTV's Zhang Weiping's guidance.

See how Zhang guide explained it.

"Liu He ran out of position...Kobe passed the ball, and the pass was beautiful (I don't forget to praise Kobe, confirming the identity of Kobe's die-hard fan), very timely...Liu He caught the ball, it's a pity The chance is not good, how to deal with this ball?... Liu He shot directly?"

(Wait for three seconds, the ball goes in)
Director Zhang shouted: "Good shot! It's beautiful! This ball is too critical! Ma Long was injured just now. Although Liu He's ball is unreasonable, it can greatly boost the weakened morale."

See, that's the gap.

Barkley is too immature and needs to learn more.

Pistons attack.

Billups continued to find Rasheed, creating opportunities for Rasheed to single Medvedenko one-on-one.

Rasheed's continuous shoulder shaking fakes deceived Medvedenko, making him think he was going to turn around and break through, but it was actually a straight-arm jumper.

Swish!
67: 57.

It was so easy for Rashid to single Medvedenko!

It's like a college student beating a primary school student.

Even Zhang Weiping couldn't help but worry and said: "Hey, Medvedenko's defense... Rasheed Wallace is playing with him, how can this work?"

This also caused concerns among Lakers fans and a large number of Chinese fans.

With Malone's injury, the Lakers' fourth position is too weak.

Usually you can't see it, but now when something goes wrong, the lack of depth of the Lakers' bench is instantly exposed.

And after Rashid scored a goal, he started to talk trash at Medvedenko again.

"Wow, if I play against you every game, I can even surpass Jordan!"

"You are truly a treasure sent to me by God. I love you so much!"

"Next time, I will kick your ass hard again, are you ready?"

……

While crushing your body with strength, attacking your spirit with words...

Murder and kill!
Lakers offense.

Liu He continued to run without the ball.

Because he suffered a loss before, Hamilton entangled Liu He even tighter this time, really like a piece of brown sugar.

Hamilton's other talents are a little weaker, but running is simply invincible.

Liu He didn't miss the chance after starting several times.

Seeing that the time for the badge was wasted little by little, Liu He gritted his teeth and ran directly beyond the three-point line, one meter away.

Only then did he run out of position and receive the ball.

Liu He pushed against Hamilton, and at a distance of one meter from the three-point line, he pulled directly.

Hamilton: "..."

All the fans: "..."

Barkley: "..."

Even the experienced director Zhang was dumbfounded.

I can't explain this ball either!

However, when the basketball crossed the sky and got into the hoop...

The Lakers bench exploded first.

All the substitute players jumped up.

"Liu He! Liu He! Liu He!"

They yelled, writhed, and waved towels, seemingly insane.

Kobe looked thoughtful: Is this okay?

In this way, my usual shots are still too simple, and the difficulty must be increased!

O'Neal on the side was still giggling, unaware of what was going on in Kobe's heart, otherwise he would definitely not be able to laugh.

70: 57.

Instead, the Detroit fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills were silent.

Every time Liu He scored a goal, it was a knife in their heart.

Such an outstanding rookie originally belonged to them.

But... damn Joe Dumars!Damn Larry Brown!

Joe Dumas, who was watching the match, and Larry Brown, who was in command, felt that countless "knife"-like gazes were stabbing at him, threatening to cut him into pieces.

Thanks to Harmony Society for saving the lives of Joe and Larry.

Oh, I forgot, the beautiful country is not a harmonious society.

In a free land, guns are legal to own.

Back to the game.

Rasheed continued to tease Medvedenko, turning around and passing Medvedenko for an easy layup.

70: 59.

Accompanied by scoring, it is natural that some mental destruction of Medvedenko is indispensable.

Lakers offense.

The teammates also realized that Liu He was in a very good state, and they were all playing for him.

Liu He ran out of position and received the ball.

But at this moment, Liu He was double-teamed.

Rasheed Wallace directly gave up Medvedenko, rushed forward, and cooperated with Hamilton to double-team Liu He.

Liu He didn't have a chance to make a phone call, so he went directly to Medvedenko and passed the ball.

Medvedenko is wide open and no one is guarding him.

"Zen Master" smiled.

The Medvedenke produced in Europe is not good, but his shooting skills are the best. Isn't this kind of vacancy for him?

Medvedenko raised the basketball and shot it directly.

Then, Zen Master's smile disappeared!
Medvedenko, who has the best shooting skills, made a three-point shot with a wide open.

Obviously, Medvedenko's mentality was broken by Rashid.

The entire Lakers team saw Medvedenko's operations, and their mentality collapsed.

Big Ben protected the rebound and handed it to Billups, and the Pistons launched a wave of fast breaks.

Billups made a wonderful pass to Hamilton in the frontcourt, and Hamilton made a three-pointer from the wing.

Swish!
70: 62.

So far, the three quarters are over.

The Lakers still lead by 8 points, but they don't feel the leading atmosphere at all.
