Chapter 126: The one who breaks my fortune will die!
Clay Thompson is different from Green. Not to mention his important role in the team's offensive end. In another time and space, Green was only suspended for one game due to excessive technical fouls. If Thompson is injured, even if he can play in the next game, it will not be good for his condition.
There will definitely be an impact. If he is reimbursed for a season, Curry will lose a right-hand man on the offensive end to relieve pressure in the next few games!
The house leaked and it rained all night.
What are you afraid of?
The day after losing the game, Clay Thompson's MRI report came out.
A first-level ligament strain is not a serious injury, but even if it is not a serious injury, it will take at least 2-3 weeks to rest. There are only 4 games left in the finals at most, and the Warriors must be without Kelai.
Play without Thompson!
As soon as the news of Clay's season reimbursement was announced, it immediately caused shock in the league. People who were originally convinced that the Warriors could easily eliminate the Cavaliers and even made a big bet to take a chance were dumbfounded.
Thompson is the second-best player on the Warriors, averaging 20+ points per game in the regular season and averaging 23.4 points per game in the playoffs so far.
Everyone knows what a serious loss it is for the Warriors to lack such an important scoring point!
"Injuries are something no one wants to see. Fortunately, it's just a ligament strain and it's not a particularly serious injury."
Warriors head coach Cole pinched his eyebrows and sighed. "But while we are fortunate, we also have to consider a problem. Without Kelai, how will the next game be played and how will the tactics be arranged."
Clay Thompson's tactical status in the Warriors team is too high. Although he does not attract attention on the court and holds the ball very rarely. In most cases, he plays off-ball tactics, but because of this, his job is quite important.
Crucially, it is even directly related to whether Curry can perform as he wishes.
"Wang Feng..."
After thinking for a moment, Cole looked at Wang Feng.
"In the next game, you may have to shoulder Kelai's scoring task on the court. Can you...can do it?"
Following Cole's words, all the players on the court focused their attention on Wang Feng.
"certainly."
Wang Feng nodded immediately without thinking.
He knew why Cole was hesitant and confused.
Although this season, Wang Feng's performance seems to be no worse than Clay Thompson. In the regular season, he also averaged 20+ points per game, and his shooting percentage was even slightly higher than Clay. In the playoffs, although his scoring average dropped to 17.5 points per game
Or so, but this is directly related to the fact that Durant barely scored in the first few games of the Western Conference Finals.
In terms of personal data, Wang Feng can completely replace Clay Thompson.
But you know your own business.
No one understands Wang Feng's technical characteristics better than Cole, who is fully involved in the team's daily training.
Wang Feng's abilities are quite outstanding in some aspects, such as three-pointers from the corner, mid-to-long-range shooting, outside defense, etc. However, at the same time, his abilities in some aspects are seriously unqualified, at least completely inconsistent with his current achievements.
.
In Cole's view, the reason why Wang Feng is able to perform as he is now is directly related to the two players Curry and Thompson attracting most of the opponent's defensive energy!
Now that Thompson is injured and Curry is the only one left, the Cavaliers will definitely focus on defending Wang Feng.
Under the sudden increase in defensive intensity, can Wang Feng, whose main scoring method is shooting, really be able to shoulder the offensive burden of Thompson?
However...concerns are concerns, and Cole has no other choice.
In the entire Warriors team, except Wang Feng, no one else can shoulder this important task!
Green is not good, Ying Guodala is not good, and a player like Livingston who has been a substitute for almost his whole life is even more impossible.
"Of course! I can!"
Wang Feng's sonorous and powerful answer made Cole stunned.
This kid... actually answered so crisply?
Cole didn't expect that as soon as he spoke his words, Wang Feng immediately agreed, as if he had already been mentally prepared, with a very calm expression on his face, without any pressure.
This performance is not like that of a second-year rookie in his early twenties.
Of course Wang Feng was not as calm as he looked on the surface. In fact, he was almost depressed inside.
Obviously you can get a championship ring while lying down, but when it comes to the end, the ring actually takes on wings and wants to fly away!
God, this thief has done enough damage.
Wang Feng has no choice but to do it now.
Only by winning the overall championship can you get the golden badge rewarded by the system. Wang Feng is not sure whether there is any reward for the runner-up. Even if there is, it will definitely be discounted, and only a silver badge or a bronze badge will be given, or even nothing at all.
For Wang Feng at this stage, how much a golden badge can improve his strength cannot be measured by data! And he has already thought about what he will exchange for this badge in advance!
"No matter what, I must get this golden badge!"
Missing one of the originally planned scenery badges will compromise Wang Feng's strength, which will affect his next series of plans, such as shocking the world at the Rio Olympics, performing dazzling results, and then asking for the maximum salary. , such as more commercial endorsement contracts...
And according to Wang Feng's thinking, he will most likely leave the Warriors after this season. Without this big thick leg, the difficulty of winning the championship will skyrocket. I'm afraid it will be difficult to earn badges like now in the next few years. .
Money! Money! You will probably lose tens of millions if you do this!
Wang Feng's eyes turned a little red when he thought of this.
"Damn you! If you think of me as a way to make money, you will die!"
Sitting not far away from Wang Feng, the first-year rookie Kevin Looney, who was selected with the 30th overall pick in the first round last summer, accidentally noticed Wang Feng's gnashing of teeth expression. He couldn't help but shuddered and was stunned.
Holy shit! What the hell is this? What happened to Wang Feng?
…
On June 10, G4 of the Finals series was still held at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, home of the Cavaliers.
The atmosphere at the Cavaliers' home court is quite lively, and the fans are cheering wildly and loudly, because with Clay Thompson's injury, Cleveland is very likely to usher in its first sports trophy in history!
"Hahaha! This is retribution! Can you feel what we felt last year?"
In last year's finals, the Cavaliers were clearly the stronger team, but due to the injuries of Irving and Love, James could only fight alone. Even other players were injured in the later games. The Cavaliers could not even complete the rotation lineup. Unable to figure it out, the Seven Jedi Samurai plot appeared.
Nowadays, the situation has turned, and the Warriors have fully evolved and become a stronger one. However, sports cannot be won by strength alone. Luck is also one of the most important factors in victory. The Warriors have lost one of their generals. , is the party that has bad luck this year!
