Chapter 421 Kobe Injured
Farmar and the team doctor carried Bynum to the locker room. Every time Bynum was injured, it had a great impact on the team. Last season, he was reimbursed directly for the season. The Lakers' bench was covered with a layer of shadow.

"Phil, what should we do next?" the assistant coach asked.

Injuries to team players have a great impact on the next arrangement, and the team must respond quickly.

"Odom, next you go to the power forward position, Gasol plays the center! Others do not make any changes, pay attention to the cooperation between teammates, Odom, the task of helping defend James is entrusted to you, don't foul easily !" Phil responded urgently.

Phil didn't make any reinforcements for the Cavaliers' outside line. He didn't think that James could last a whole game with such a strong attack. Even if he persisted for a whole game, the Lakers would not be afraid.

James held the ball and continued to beat Li Tian.

After consecutive backs, he didn't get a chance to score the ball, so he could only take the ball back to the outside line and attack again.

After coming to the outside line, James stood outside the three-point line and tried to break through several times. Facing Li Tian's single defense, he still failed to break through to the inside line, so he had to force a three-point shot from the outside line!
"Touch!" Things backfired, James' three-pointer hadn't been practiced yet.

Gasol squeezed away the big Z, grabbed the defensive rebound, handed it to Li Tian, ​​and took possession of the ball for half court.

In the next game, the offense of the two teams was extremely smooth, especially the Cavaliers. James' strong play attracted Gasol to double-team, and the ball was given to Big Z at the basket. He took 8 shots and hit 5 goals.

The only good thing is that James' shooting rate is not high, 5 of 1, only scored 2 points, but sent 5 assists!
"Beep!" The referee whistled, and the first quarter ended.

The Cavaliers temporarily lead the Lakers by 30 points at 32:2!
The Lakers fell behind mainly because Bynum was injured and left the field. The team's offense was temporarily affected. After 2 minutes, it quickly returned to normal. This is the background of a strong team.

The Cavaliers took the lead, and the home audience was overjoyed. Today, they will definitely be able to win a victory against the No. [-] team in the league!
When James walked to the bench, he and all his teammates excitedly clapped and celebrated.The team took the lead and went into the second quarter, and he was happy.

Today is finally a little easier, and today I finally got the support of my teammates. If it weren't for the support of my teammates, the team would not be able to take the lead.His hand feeling in this game is average, and he needs to get his hand feeling back next.

"Director Su, can you tell me, what is the main reason why the Cavaliers took the lead in the first quarter?" Yang Yi looked at Director Su.

"Analysed from the field, the Cavaliers have made good use of James' strength. Although Li Tian is strong defensively, his body is relatively thin. James plays hard, attracts double-teams, and then distributes the ball to his teammates. Teammates It is also powerful enough to throw the ball after receiving the ball, especially the big Z, who scored 12 points in the first quarter.

Looking at the Lakers, because Bynum was injured and left the field suddenly, it will have a big impact on the offensive and defensive ends of the Lakers. I hope that the Lakers can quickly adjust their status in the future! "Director Su analyzed.

"It is true, but injuries have always been a part of professional athletes. I only hope that Bynum's injury is not serious, so that it will not affect the Lakers' next game!" Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi is a little worried. This season, the Lakers are expected to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins and defend their title. However, Bynum is injured and breaking the record will definitely be affected a lot, and the title defense will also cast a shadow.

"Li, you will no longer lead the substitute players in the second quarter. Kobe will lead the substitute players next." Phil made an arrangement. Li Tian needed to rest, and he spent a lot of energy on offense and defense with James in one quarter.

Kobe led the bench and continued to play.

"Lee, we don't know the specifics of Bynum's injury now, and he may be out for a while. In the next games, you may be temporarily pushed to the center position. I hope you can be mentally prepared for this!" Phil It can only be arranged in this way. Bynum's injury has sounded the alarm for the team.

The team has indeed been on a winning streak recently, but it consumes a lot of physical energy for the players, which can easily lead to player injuries.

In the next game, he needs to increase the rotation of the team and allow the starting players to get more rest time, but Li Tian's mission feels strengthened again.

"No problem, I will follow the team's arrangement!" Li Tian nodded and agreed. Since the start of the game, he has never been at the center position. With Bynum and Gasol around, he only needs to play at the small forward.

"The Cavaliers are temporarily ahead. In this game, the Lakers lost their starting center. Do they still have a chance to win this game?" Yang Yi asked in the studio.

"This is only the first quarter. James' consumption is huge. As long as the Lakers don't fall behind too much in the first half, the Lakers have the hope of making a comeback!" The decline in James' physical strength is the opportunity for the Lakers!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe led the bench, but did not change the team's situation.The point difference did not shrink, but continued to expand.

James only rested for 2 minutes before being substituted again.

"Phil, I want to play!" Although he was very tired, Li Tian still asked to continue to play. This is his battle of proof. Of course, the team's victory is equally important.

No one of the Lakers players on the field can defend James alone, and restrict him. James has created many good shots for his teammates.

"Brown really doesn't regard James as a human being, and he was replaced after less than 4 minutes of rest!" Phil ignored Li Tian's request, but said this sentence.

"Phil, the team is still behind!" Li Tian was a little anxious. If he didn't play again, the team would fall behind even more. If they fell behind too much, they would enter the second half. Once the Cavaliers got momentum, it would have a great impact on the team.

Another 2 minutes passed, and Li Tian took a full 5-minute rest. With 7 minutes left in the second quarter, Li Tiancai replaced Ariza, Kobe Bryant and Vujacic.

At 35:40, the point difference was pulled to 5 points.

"Come on!" Kobe said, walking to the bench.

I usually feel that Bynum is not that important, but due to the sudden lack of Bynum and the disruption of the team's rotation, I realized that the impact of not having this guy on the team is still not small.

Li Tian came up to defend James, and the effect was obviously much better. He didn't break through and score the ball as easily as before.

But the defense of teammates is much worse.

James scored consecutive points to the outside, and Szczerbiak, who came off the bench, made consecutive hits from beyond the three-point line, which made Kobe, who was sitting on the bench, very dissatisfied.

"Shit!" Kobe couldn't help cursing.

Then he looked at Phil, "Phil, I want to appear!".

Looking at Kobe's firm eyes, Phil could only take advantage of the dead ball to replace Kobe on the court, and at the same time let Ariza replace Odom who made frequent defensive mistakes.

"Go down and reflect on it!" Kobe said coldly.

"The Lakers' defense has fallen into a huge crisis. If the defense cannot be raised, it will be very difficult to request this game!" Director Su couldn't help sighing.

Szczerbiak hit two consecutive three-pointers, changing the situation on the court. The situation of the Lakers took a turn for the worse, and the point difference was widened to 10 points.

At 38:48, the Lakers trailed by 10 points.

"Kobe, we need to strengthen the defensive strength. After James scored the ball, the defense against the Cavaliers' shots is too weak, so..." Li Tian said when he saw Kobe was replaced.

Li Tian was very dissatisfied with the defense for just a few minutes. He worked hard to consume James and force the opponent to split the ball.But after the ball was scored, the defense of other players was not in place, especially Odom, which gave the opponent too many opportunities. The team's defensive strength must be strengthened. Kobe's appearance is the best illustration. The defensive end of the team is lax.

"No problem, we must strengthen our defense. Your defensive task is the most important. If you can't defend, remember to call for help defense!" Kobe patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

"I can. When necessary, I will call my teammates to help defend!" Li Tian nodded in agreement.

After a brief communication, the team's defense strategy has been determined.

Kobe and Li Tian, ​​after a year or so of running-in, have gotten to know each other very well.Both of them are guys who will never admit defeat. Li Tian's defense in the first quarter was indeed recognized by everyone. He did not lose his position and made no mistakes. He defended James' shooting rate to 20%. Li Tian had many sunspots before. , changed his opinion of him.

After strengthening the defense, the offense of the Lakers became smoother. Li Tian also completed several assists. After receiving the ball, Kobe hit 2 three-pointers and narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

At 53:58, with 20 seconds left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers attacked.

"There is still the last chance to attack in the first half. Cavaliers players, whether they can continue to widen the point difference depends on this attack!" Yang Yi said, James' physical strength still showed no sign of decline.

At the end of the timeout, James received a serve from the sideline from Big Z. Li Tian quickly stepped forward and began to defend closely, not giving the Cavaliers a chance to widen the point difference.

James stopped two steps away from the three-point line, ready to suppress the offensive rhythm. When there were 8 seconds left in the game, James moved.

Suddenly speeding up, facing Li Tian, ​​pushing towards the basket, trying to complete the final attack.

Just as James was heading for the basket, Kobe reached out.

James rushed to the basket, against the defense, and hit the only mid-range shot in the second quarter.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and the first half ended.

When Li Tian saw Kobe, he clasped his right hand and squatted on the ground, feeling extremely painful.

"What's the matter, why did Kobe squat on the ground?" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"I have a bad feeling that Kobe won't be injured! Bynum is already injured. If Kobe gets injured again, it will have a great impact on the team. I just hope that Kobe's injury is not particularly serious!" Su said the guide.

"Kobe can't get hurt anymore, the Lakers can't stand such a toss!"

"I hope Kobe will not get hurt!" The fans began to pray for Kobe.

The hearts of the Lakers fans tensed up instantly.

"Old Ke, how are you doing now?" Li Tianlai hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The big screen at the scene played back the scene of Kobe's injury just now.

"Kobe injured?" Brown's first thought came to mind.
