Chapter five hundred and ninety-four [fist tyrant, chance]
The Lakers' score was behind and there was no hope of reversing. Kobe continued to play in the final quarter, with his sharp eyes. He would never allow a crushing defeat at home opening game. Mamba's spirit will never give up!
Kobe received the ball, he stared at the basket, and exuded a powerful aura that he would never give up until he scored 40 points.
Although the Lakers lost a bit ugly today, Kobe did not lose. He is in very good shape, with beautiful data and a shooting percentage of nearly 50%, exceeding the average.
At this time, the Suns could completely rest all the main players, but D'Antoni wanted to use consecutive big wins to boost morale. In the final quarter, Marion was sent as a small forward, defending Kobe and leading the substitute.
The other four substitutes on the Suns are Steve Blake, Ariza, Josh Powell, and David Lee.
Powell officially debuted on the NBA field for the first time and smiled. His physical fitness is better than that of Kukochi, and his chances of playing were achieved through hard work during training.
The Suns' offensive tactics are organized by Blake, holding the ball and playing pick-and-roll with David Lee, Marion does what he is good at, counterattacking with Ariza to make a fast break, and running and cutting in the position. Powell's task is the simplest, and he sets the stop and waits for the opportunity to receive the ball and shoot in the mid-range shot.
This is mainly to train David Lee, let him play like Sir and increase the offensive firepower in the interior. David Lee is responsible for protecting the backcourt rebound and launching a counterattack with a pass.
If you can play pick-and-roll, those who take the fast break will rest, and David Lee will not have a good training effect. Only one of the Suns is left, so it is not an exaggeration to win the Lakers.
The Suns substitute player performed better than the Lakers. Marion was in a very brave state, scoring two goals in a row, and assisting David Li Qiang, who cut the gap, scored two points against Cook.
On the defensive end, Marion defended Kobe alone and interfered with each other and made two consecutive attacks, and the score difference widened to more than 40 points.
The coaching staff's arrangements look good, and young players can improve their confidence, but something happened to Marion during garbage time.
During a Lakers' offense, Kobe held the ball with the ball in the face frame and forced a breakthrough to collided with Marion's knee. By chance, this time, which did not seem to be very intense, Marion fell to the ground immediately. He covered his knees with both hands, and the situation seemed very serious.
Seeing this scene, all the people who supported the sun were heartbroken, and Guo Xu, who had the most confidence, could not remain calm.
Marion will not be seriously injured, right? S. Nene's serious injury is related to their style of play, so it is difficult to stay healthy all the time, but what is going on in Marion? Could it be that the Suns have been hit by some evil curse this season?
If Marion is seriously injured, the Suns' lineup depth this season is not a good match than Nash's team. Marion is one of the few 20+10 players in the league. Not only does he play a huge role in running and shooting, but he also performs well on the defensive end.
Guo Xu's hope is not serious, otherwise the Suns will not be able to gather the offensive trident. David Li Xinxiu Nian can't become the core of the inside offensive. He can't play for a long time now and his defense is too poor.
After a simple treatment from the team doctor, Marion got up and moved on the sidelines for a few moments, indicating that he could not continue the game. With the help of his teammates, he returned to the locker room, which made people's concerns about Marion's injury.
Barkley lamented: "If Marion is injured and is out for a long time, the sun will be over."
The game continued, Kobe played vigorously for a few minutes, scoring 46 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists before leaving the court to rest. He led the team to catch up and narrow the gap.
The Suns beat the Lakers 128-100 in the final game and achieved two consecutive victories at the beginning, but everyone was not happy.
The team has lost two major players. Kukoc is a veteran who is about to retire. The new player Powell has not yet integrated into the team. If Marion is injured again, the Suns will only have 10 main rotation players left.
At the post-match press conference, the reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate the competition and talk about his thoughts.
"I feel that this season is a bit unlucky." Guo Xu sighed and said with a wry smile: "It is hard to say when the team is troubled by injuries. Sometimes, the season will become very difficult when players are injured together. Now we can only pray that Sean will not be seriously injured and come back as soon as possible."
The reporter asked: "If Marion is seriously injured and needs to rest for a long time, do you still have the confidence to lead the team to play this season well?"
"I don't know, it's meaningless to say these things now. I won't make any predictions anymore. Let's wait and see the results."
No matter how confident Guo Xu is, he will not say that the Sun can still win the championship at this time. When it is time to keep a low profile, he can still become low-key. The Sun has long been the public enemy of the league, and many people are waiting to watch them lively. He must pay attention to his words next, and cannot easily catch the handle to attack the Sun.
This is not a question of whether the Suns can slap in the face after being questioned, but when they are targeted by many people, some arguments and criticisms will make young players uncomfortable, affect their mood, and may affect their condition.
The reporter also hoped that Guo Xu would evaluate Bogut and Kobe, but Guo Xu politely refused. "I am not in the mood to evaluate other people's affairs now. I just want to know the injury result of my teammates, sorry."
Suns doctor Carter and Marion went to the hospital and urgently evaluated his injury. The examination results were very bad. It was initially determined that it was a torn anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee and would be reimbursed for the season.
The next day, the Sun official regretted that Marion's injury was announced to the public. He will undergo repair surgery on the cruciate ligament and collateral ligament of his left knee, which will be absent for 6 to 9 months.
The fans were a little confused. Last season, the Suns had four giants. Now one has left and two have been reimbursed. Only Guo Xu himself is left?
The most confused person is Marion. He is planning to kill all the people this season. As long as he supports the inside without Sir and Nene and helps the Suns win the championship, he can reach the peak of his life.
Now the three of them have become patients, all of whom are knee injuries.
Marion was so angry that he wanted to kill people. For people like him who are not favored by advertisers and rely on NBA contracts to make money, he attaches great importance to data. This season is the best opportunity for him to play the peak data of his career, and he can get back to the position of the second in command. Now he has been completely ruined by Kobe's collision.
Guo Xu didn't know how to evaluate this matter. After watching the video, people unanimously believed that Kobe did not intentionally. But in Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe seemed to have the talent to bring bad luck to his opponents, and people around him were often injured.
For example, Yao Ming, Bathil, Yaric, Miller, Ginobili, Rubio, Bynum, Nick Young, etc., have opponents and teammates, who were accidentally pushed by Kobe with his knee, or elbowed his head and fingers.
It seems that the collision is not fierce, but Kobe is a boxer with iron elbows and knees.
Every time, the media can prove that Kobe didn't do it on purpose. Sometimes he was just trying to make breakthroughs, sometimes he was trying to defend, and sometimes he just wanted to stand up...
In any case, after losing Marion, the Suns' chances of winning the championship fell sharply again.
Many media questioned why D'Antoni still refused to let Marion rest while the team was leading the score?
D'Antoni was speechless. He now felt that he was the sinner of the Suns. He had previously said that ensuring the health of the players was the most important thing. What should Marion go up for garbage time today? It would be okay to hand over the task of preventing Kobe to Ariza.
This time people think that the sun is really over. If they can still defend their title, it would be inconsistent with the laws of physics.
