Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 397

PJ Brown left the court with the support of his teammates and entered the locker room.

The game will continue, so naturally it will not stop like this.

Brandon Heywood played instead of PJ Brown. The Sonics really need such a big man to stand firm inside.

However, Heywood's disadvantages are also very obvious.

As a big center, or a traditional big center, he is too bulky and seriously drags down the team's speed.

The game continues, the Sonics have the offensive ball.

Wang Hao responded to Lewis' sideline kick, and then handed the ball to Gary Payton for organization.

Gary Payton asked for a pick-and-roll, but unfortunately, Duncan's wide-ranging delay prevented him from breaking through.

As for Heywood, he didn't find a chance during the air cut.

After Duncan delayed Gary Payton, he quickly retreated to guard Heywood.

At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly got rid of Bruce Bowen's entanglement and went around to the outside to catch the ball.

Gary Payton didn't delay, and quickly passed the ball.

Wang Hao shook Bowen away with a fake move, then quickly broke through and went straight to the inside.

Duncan reacted quickly and defended again.

This is the Spurs' reliance on Duncan in defense. In one round, Duncan defended at least three people.

Faced with Duncan's strict defense, Wang Hao naturally didn't need to be head-to-head. He chose to pass the ball.

Brandon Haywood was right behind Duncan, receiving a pass from Wang Hao very comfortably.

Looking up, Heywood suddenly found that this position is not far or close to the basket.

A little farther away, and he can just shoot directly.

He could even dunk if he got any closer.

But it's this position, neither far nor near, jumping up can't reach the basket, and can only shoot from close range.

But compared to the 100% certainty of the goal when putting the basket, the shooting at this position seems a little unsure!

This is no way.

The pass just now was indeed the best time for Wang Hao to pass.

After all, you can never let Wang Hao stop in mid-air, wait for you to take another step, and then pass the ball to you.

In fact, there is another possibility, is Heywood a bit slower?

Haywood finally chose to take a step, and then ended the attack with a dunk.

It's just that the speed of his movement is really slow.

After Duncan landed, he quickly turned around to defend, and at this time, Haywood had just collected the ball.

Duncan didn't delay at all, and leaned forward immediately.

Because Duncan stood still, Haywood had no way to dunk directly and could only choose to layup.

But the problem is that under Duncan's tight defense, Haywood's layup actually missed.

More than that, the basketball rolled down from the basket and was directly accepted by Duncan.

It can be said that this round of defense is completely a display of Duncan's personal ability.

This is just defense, and offense.

Back on the Spurs offense, Parker dribbles the ball at the top of the arc and Duncan quickly runs to pick and roll.

Gary Payton managed to bypass Duncan with great difficulty, and finally did not allow Parker to break through easily.

It's just that Parker passed the ball suddenly.

But Ginobili didn't know what was going on, and suddenly came to a position above the free throw line and made an open shot.

Michael Reid's block was long overdue, and he could only watch the basketball fly to the basket.

Just now, after Duncan completed the pick-and-roll for Parker, he quickly gave Ginobili a cover.

Heywood has no choice but to shrink the inside line to protect the basket. In the pick-and-roll, he can't defend at all.

Of course, Haywood cannot be blamed for this.

With such a big body, can fight O'Neal, but still be as flexible as Duncan.

If this is the case, it is impossible for Haywood to play as a substitute in the Sonics, nor will he only get such a small salary.

Ginobili's shot fell into the basket, and the Sonics' lead was directly wiped out.

62:62

And all this is just the beginning.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 68:76, with the Sonics trailing by 8 points.

His score difference of 8 points is nothing, but the form on the court is not optimistic.

Especially the inside situation.

Just now, there has been news in the locker room that PJ Brown will not return.

Because he stepped on David Robinson's instep when he landed, coupled with his size and weight.

PJ Brown has a sprained ankle, and it is still a relatively serious injury, and it is impossible to play again.

Not to mention this game, even this round of the series, it is impossible to see PJ Brown again.

As for the next round of the series?

The Sonics should get through the current difficulties first, and then they can consider the finals.

When he heard the news, Wang Hao took a deep breath, and he also understood that the team was in big trouble.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Hao didn't even take a minute to rest and went directly to the game.

Paul Westphal has no choice but to play the main force.

If we say that the previous game was a game that the Spurs could not afford to lose.

So now, the Sonics can't afford to lose.

PJ Brown has been injured. If this game cannot be won, then the result will be hard to say.

The next game, the Sonics will be without PJ Brown.

Not only that, the momentum of the Spurs, who have won two consecutive victories, is like a rainbow, but it is the Sonics, and their morale will definitely be affected.

It's just that the more you worry about something, the more something will come.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs took the lead in attacking and missed, but Wang Hao hit a 2-pointer from mid-range. This is to open up the momentum of chasing points.

The Spurs attacked again, and Duncan missed a long-range jumper.

It can be seen that Haywood actually had some effect when facing Duncan.

Inside, especially in the low post, Duncan can't beat Haywood at all.

Heywood weighed nearly 130 kilograms, and Duncan couldn't push it at all, so he could only play outside.

But once you get away from the basket, even Duncan's shooting percentage will drop.

Wang Hao was overjoyed immediately and quickly protected the rebound.

Not only him, but everyone else in the Sonics seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Because it was a long-range shot, Duncan's shot was short, and it just hit the front of the basket, and the basketball bounced farther.

After Wang Hao protected the rebound, seeing a chance, he quickly speeded up and ran towards the frontcourt.

However, at this moment, Bruce Bowen rushed over immediately.

Judging from his posture, he clearly wanted to stop Wang Hao and prevent Wang Hao from speeding up.

It's just that he didn't care about Wang Hao's dribbling route, but kept paying attention to Wang Hao's feet.

Seeing Bruce Bowen standing in front of him, Wang Hao didn't care, and suddenly crossed the line while walking.

The explosive power of this move is very strong, and it can basically pass Bruce Bowen directly.

However, at this moment, Bruce Bowen was also impatient.

However, his quickness was not to stop Wang Hao directly, but to step on Wang Hao's feet.

Changing speed while running, the speed is extremely fast, and the explosion is even more powerful, suddenly stepping on it.

Even Wang Hao only felt a stabbing pain in his ankle.

At this time, Wang Hao couldn't care less about dribbling, he quickly fell to the ground.

At the same time, the system panel was constantly flickering, especially the immunity to injuries, not to mention the red light.

Injury Immunity: 88.

Wang Hao knew right away that if it wasn't for the 88 injury immunity, he would definitely be injured right now.

Although the injury immunity took effect, he still felt the tingling pain in his ankle.

It's like being sprained while playing basketball.

"Damn it, you bastard!"

Wang Hao is really angry, what the hell, this bastard is planning to abolish him!

If it weren't for the immunity to injuries, this would be the result!

If it weren't for the tingling pain under his feet, he really wanted to jump up and hit someone.

Of course, more importantly, the performance is a little bit worse now, maybe the referee's penalty will be harsher.

Wang Hao didn't move, but it didn't mean the others didn't move.

Quentin Richardson rushed over and pushed Bruce Bowen away with a palm.

Not only that, all the supersonic people gathered here.

It's just that Bruce Bowen was already prepared.

After the foul, he subconsciously approached the referee, seemingly calling for grievances, but actually seeking protection.

Sure enough, Quentin Richardson just pushed Bruce Bowen and was immediately stopped by the referee.

With the referee around, who would dare to make a move.

Everyone was in a mess, but in the end there was no trouble.

"How do you feel, Wang?"

"I'm fine, a little sore, but it should be fine."

With the support of the team doctor, Wang Hao tried to walk two steps, but found that it was still a little painful.

He can feel it himself, he can walk, but it seems that he needs to slow down after spraining his ankle.

What's going on, isn't the system reflecting it?

It seems to be immune, but not immune.

Soon, Wang Hao understood what was going on, the injury immunity did take effect, and the system worked.

It's just that, too serious injuries cannot be completely immune, or there is nothing wrong with it.

Wang Hao can imagine, just now, how to change to someone else, not to mention ruining his career, at least it will be reimbursed for the season.

Wang Hao glanced across the audience, and saw Bruce Bowen who had already sat on the bench.

"This is not the end!"

Wang Hao is not someone who refuses to suffer, but it depends on what kind of loss it is.

This is no longer a loss, but a vendetta!

Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred, this has always been Wang Hao's principle.

Bruce Bowen also seemed to notice Wang Hao's gaze, and his body trembled unconsciously.

He seemed to have anticipated something, but now, there was no possibility of him retreating.

"Oh my God!"

"What kind of punishment is this, what are you doing?"

"This is an intentional hurtful action. Are you blind?"

……

Furious, Paul Westphal hurled insults at the referee, directly questioning their decision.

No wonder he was so angry, the referee's penalty was really unacceptable.

Bruce Bowen was just an average foul.

Even, because the number of fouls was not enough, Wang Hao didn't even have a chance to make free throws.

And Quentin Richardson ate a technical foul directly.

Before it was over, Paul Westphal's cursing also had results, which was also a technical foul.

In other words, in the next game, the Spurs will have two free throw opportunities, and the ball is still theirs.

"My God, are the Spurs going to win the championship?"

"Sure enough, Popovich told all of us that solving the Sonics is easy, it only takes two feet."

"It's unbelievable. Will this year's NBA playoffs end up like this?"

……

Not just Paul Westphal, but also the major media commentaries that are being broadcast live.

There are also different opinions on the referee's penalty.

Of course, what makes them even more objectionable is that the Sonics still lost two starters.

PJ Brown has confirmed that he will rest for a while.

Although the injury has not been confirmed in the hospital, but as an experienced person.

According to the current situation, it seems impossible for PJ Brown to appear in this round of the series.

More than that, it is very likely that he will be reimbursed for the season.

If now, one more Wang Hao is added, then the strength of the supersonic speed can be said to be severed.

Is this still playing?

Is it possible to watch the Spurs enter the finals?

To be honest, it's not that these commentators don't like the Spurs, in fact quite the opposite.

In the hearts of fans, everyone prefers the Sonics' offensive style of play.

But in the eyes of professional media people and retired players, the Spurs are more in line with the style of play of the times.

The Supersonics, playing fast break, like to shoot, especially like to shoot three-pointers, which is not aesthetic at all.

If the Spurs beat the Sonics, there is no doubt that he must be the object of support from all the media and retired commentators.

But if he enters the finals in this capacity, then he is really lucky.

What the hell, why didn't I have such luck back then?

The commentators of retired players from major TV media were aggrieved by this and kept blaming the Spurs.

"Martin, I'm sure, I'm really all right!"

After recovering, Wang Hao didn't want to return to the locker room at all, but wanted to return to the court immediately.

However, Martin Davis, who is the team doctor, directly rejected the proposal.

"Wang, I'm the team doctor. It's not up to you to decide what to do, but to me."

As a team doctor, Martin Davis dare not be careless, he must ensure the health of every player.

In this case, it is not possible to determine the result of the inspection just by listening to the players.

"Martin, you know, the team needs it!"

There is another sentence, but Wang Hao didn't say it, that is: He hasn't taken revenge yet!

It's just that, after hearing Wang Hao's words, Martin Davis also hesitated.

Instead of returning to the locker room, he was in the player tunnel and let Wang Hao do simple exercises.

Wang Hao will only be allowed to return to the court if he is allowed to make a decision and determine Wang Hao's health.

"OK, Wang, I'm sure you're all right now."

Finally, Martin Davis spoke the long-awaited words of Wang Hao.

In this regard, Wang Hao is also very helpless. He also knows that the team doctor's approach is correct, and this is the most correct way.

The problem is, time is running out.

As Wang Hao appeared at the exit of the player tunnel, he instantly attracted the attention of Spurs fans.

Even, many fans were startled by the sudden appearance of Wang Hao.

"Oh my God, how can he come back?"

From the player tunnel to the fans in the entire arena, it became lively in an instant.

The appearance of Wang Hao's words made them a little uneasy.
