Chapter 560 Westbrook Injured
The game between the Thunder and the Rockets started later, so this game is still only G2 of the series between the two teams.In the series G1, the Thunder beat the Rockets at home.
This result is not so unexpected. Although the Thunder team only has two players, but they are the first in the Western Conference. With experience, the Thunder have the upper hand.In addition, it is at home again, and winning has become very natural.
Xie Kai is actually quite contradictory. He still wants his good brother Westbrook to win, but he doesn't want his good friend Jeremy Lin to lose.
But this is competitive sports, and there are always winners and losers. Just like last season, when the Grizzlies and the Thunder met, Xie Kai himself and Westbrook also met in the semifinals. In the end, only one person can stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.
In the first playoff game of his career, Jeremy Lin performed poorly, scoring only 7 points on 1 of 4 shots.Xie Kai thinks that his style of play is suitable for holding the ball. Although Harden has a strong off-ball ability, he doesn't like to run. He always stands and waits for the ball and likes to play with the ball.There is only one basketball, and there must be one player who plays more off the ball with two guns in the backcourt. In this case, Jeremy Lin, who has a low position, can only compromise.
Xie Kai sighed that this is the cruelty of the NBA. The team will naturally pay more attention to the one who seems to have more potential. Harden of the 6th man competes for the core position.
This game is obviously much more intense than the first game, and the Rockets have also adapted to the intensity of the playoffs. They are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. It doesn't matter if they lose, and a win counts as a game. On the contrary, the X**D tactics can produce the desired effect.
In the first half, Jeremy Lin took a break early due to physical discomfort, and it was Patrick Beverley who played for him.
Beverly graduated from the University of Arkansas and was selected by the Lakers with the 2009nd pick in the second round in 2.This player travels between Europe and NBDL, and is a small figure in the league.And even such a small person was a famous person in college. The NBA has gathered almost the best basketball talents in the world, and less than 42 players here almost represent the highest level of basketball in the world.
Jeremy Lin's physical discomfort ended, giving Beverly a chance.In fact, Beverly also got a lot of opportunities in G1 of the series due to Jeremy Lin's poor state.
Beverly is different from Jeremy Lin. His annual salary this year is only 28 US dollars. He needs to use good performance to get a satisfactory contract, so he has to work harder than anyone else.
Beverly is 185cm tall and is a point guard, but he doesn't want the ball. He puts all his energy on the defensive end.Bite the opponent frantically, spare no effort at all, lead the defense, bite the opponent, frantically grab offensive rebounds, and use his own vitality to create a sense of presence.Clearly, he wants to stay in this league.
Xie Kai understands the desire of low-level players to gain a foothold in the NBA. Back then, in the NCAA, for his basketball dream, he also defended desperately and ran non-stop until he was exhausted.Those who have been the core of the team since their debut may not be able to understand this feeling.
But soon, Beverly's actions completely reduced Xie Kai's impression of him.When facing Thunder backup guard Reggie Jackson, although his defensive action was biting, it was still in the normal range, but when he met Westbrook, his action became bigger and bigger, and he was almost injured several times .
The black bear said: "Is this Patrick crazy? Why does he feel like he wants to kill Russ when he sees Russ?"
Arthur knew the relationship between Xie Kai and Westbrook, and knew that his old teammate cared about Westbrook, so he also said: "This action is too dangerous, why didn't the referee warn him?"
Xie Kaiyou said: "Perhaps, the referees of this game think that this scale is very suitable for the intensity of the playoffs!"
The players and coaches of the Grizzlies knew about the friendship between Xie Kai and Westbrook, so everyone fell silent and watched the game quietly.
Not long after, a heart-wrenching scene appeared...
Westbrook called a timeout after halftime in a dribble.But Beverly, who was in charge of defending him, failed to stop the car, and his whole body hit Westbrook's knee joint directly.
Westbrook clutched his right knee with a very painful expression.He returned to the bench and slammed the billboard on the sidelines. The pain in his knee and the depression in his heart were obvious.
Xie Kai, who was watching this scene in front of the TV, stood up from his chair, his eyes wide open, obviously out of breath.
Arthur also stood up and patted him on the back in comfort.
The Grizzlies players and coaches who watched the game together were not surprised. Thank you for caring about Westbrook. This is the brotherhood in the NBA, without any other factors.
Xie Kai took a break and continued to sit down and watch the game.He knew that the injury just now was not serious, and now he just hopes that Westbrook's body is strong enough to prevent structural damage.If there is no major injury to the meniscus or ligaments, or an ordinary sprain, rest for about a week. With Westbrook's body recovery speed, it will definitely be fine.With the strength of the Thunder, even if Westbrook has a truce afterwards, it is not too big of a problem to defeat the Rockets and advance to the second round.So in principle, as long as Westbrook is not too seriously injured, it is completely fine to come back in the games after the playoffs.
Let's see now the severity of the injury.The knee is too important and fragile for a basketball player.Back then, Grant Hill and Vince Carter were all affected by knee injuries.
Xie Kai is silently praying for Westbrook in his heart, hoping that everything will be well for him.The two of them agreed to meet in the Western Conference Finals in a previous call (the Thunder are first and the Grizzlies are third. If they want to meet, it will be the Western Conference Finals), and they will have a showdown!
This is not over, but the game is not over at this time, Westbrook continued to lead the team to fight, who knows that shortly after he re-entered the field, Beverly directly knocked him out of the field with a fierce defense, and then Beverly thought in a friendly way. Pull him up, but the latter doesn't appreciate it.
Arthur was also very dissatisfied with Beverly's actions: "Is this Patrick endless? Doesn't he stop without hurting Russ?"
Thank you for the fire in my heart, Patrick Beverly, you fucked my brother, labor and management remember you!
In the second half of the game, Westbrook continued to play, which made Xie Kai a lot more happy. It seems that his injury is not serious enough, otherwise he should not be allowed to play again.
In the second half of the game, Jeremy Lin did not appear due to injury, so Beverly started, and he faced Westbrook again.
