Start without the ball

Chapter 297

The game was suspended, and the team doctor rushed into the field to check Durant's injury.

The severe pain from the calf made him sweat. The team doctor checked the injury and rushed to Cole, who was on the bench, shaking his head, indicating that Durant could not persist in the game!

The Warriors forward limped down the aisle with the help of Curry and the team doctor.

Warriors fans couldn't believe what just happened. Durant was their last hope. They expected the MVP of the finals to turn the tide, but reality dealt a heavy blow to the Warriors.

The big screen at the scene played back the entire moment. When Durant kicked the ground hard, the muscles in his right leg suddenly trembled violently, and then he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground in pain.

Barkley: "Achilles, it must be Achilles! Shit, this sucks!"

O'Neill: "Kevin is definitely not healed! His right leg was not as simple as a muscle strain before. The old injury has not healed. In this high-intensity battle, just in order to break through, he kicked the ground with all his strength. At this moment, his The Achilles tendon is overwhelmed, and the Warriors must be responsible for his injury!"

With the help of the team doctor, Durant limped back to the player channel, leaving everyone with a bleak back.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but feel a bit of regret. The team fell behind by a large score and Durant played with an injury. He has been fighting tonight. This kind of competitive spirit is worthy of admiration.

However, in competitive sports, success and failure, and injury management are also an important part. In this regard, the Warriors obviously did not do enough.

The only strong point of the Warriors fell. After that, the game lost its suspense. The Thunder continued to expand their lead. At the end of the third quarter, the two sides fought 91 to 66, and the Thunder led by as much as 25 points.

To be on the safe side, Donovan replaced all the main players. He doesn't want unexpected injuries.

最终雷霆以117比101赢一下系列赛的第五场，总比分4比1晋级18－19赛季总决赛！
此役，李浩宇拿下28分4个篮板13次助攻，威少拿下31分3个篮板7次助攻，乔治砍下22分。

Kevin Durant, who was injured in the half, scored 26 points. If he hadn't been injured, his scoring would have broken the 40-point mark tonight. Clay scored only 17 points.

At the press conference, Steve Kerr sat in the interview booth with a sad face. This Warriors is not only as simple as losing the game, but also more likely to lose Durant, the absolute core!

"Hi, I'm ESPN reporter Howard. Did Kevin do a thorough check-up before his comeback? Did he really recover? Why did he get injured again?"

Facing the reporter's direct questions, Cole said with a look of annoyance:

"This result is something we don't want to see. We observed it for a long time before the game, and the team doctor also gave advice. His decision to come back was carefully discussed, and Kevin himself agreed. Unfortunately, the reality is too cruel."

"Hello, I'm Catherine, a reporter from TNT. In today's game, we saw that Kevin had physical problems, but why did you keep him on the court and keep increasing his load?"

Cole bit the bullet and said: "The situation on the court needs Kevin. We will not give up hope of winning. I did not expect such a sad result."

After Kerr, Curry and Klay came to the press conference.

"Hello, Mr. Clay, it's a pity that you are out. Can you talk about your feelings about this round of the series?"

With a disappointed expression on his face, Thompson said frankly: "I'm very sad that I didn't help the team.
On the offensive end, I tried my best to find opportunities, but Lee put too much pressure on me, and I was a little lost. In defense, Lee was also difficult to deal with. He was like a ghost, everywhere. He could not only score by himself, but also Organize the offense to create opportunities for teammates.

I have been suppressed by him throughout the series. In the summer, I will work hard to improve. Next year, we will make a comeback! "

After Clay answered, another reporter asked: "Mr. Curry, you have been the key point in the first two games. Why did you misfire at the beginning of the third game?"

Curry said helplessly:
"Kevin's injury affected us a lot, he broke our rotation.

In the first two games, although they kept putting pressure on me in the low post, on the offensive end, I was able to find my own rhythm of the game.

However, when I arrived in Oklahoma City, Russell suddenly seemed to be a different person. Regardless of physical exertion, he frantically put pressure on me, and I lost my offensive rhythm.

This made us fall behind 3-1. Kevin came back today, and we once saw the hope of victory, but the reality is too cruel, dame it, I hope he doesn't hurt too much now, he has worked hard enough today.

It is a pity to say that this year is not our year, but next year, we will still aim for the final championship. "

The Splash Brothers walked out of the press conference with a desolate look, and they happened to meet Westbrook and Li Haoyu.

Curry left without speaking, while Clay took the initiative to hug Li Haoyu.

"You played really well, I've never been so pinned down before, you could almost see my intentions, it made me feel a lot of pressure, but it's over.

However, in summer, I will try my best to improve myself to make up for my shortcomings. Next time, I will not let you suppress me anymore. You have to be careful! "

Li Haoyu: "Accompany me at any time!"

Farewell to Clay, Li Haoyu and Westbrook sat in the interview booth.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Pioneer Basketball News. May I ask Mr. Russell, in the game, the Warriors made a one-point four-point defensive arrangement against you, but you broke the Warriors with two clean three-pointers. defense, can you talk about the situation at that time?"

Westbrook said proudly: "Man, they made a mistake, I am omnipotent!"

"However, from the regular season to the first round of the playoffs, your three-point shooting percentage has been less than [-]%. Today you are in such a good state. Did you practice extra? Why didn't you use it until today? It was intended to be a secret A weapon?"

Li Haoyu secretly laughed, how could Wei Shao's walnut-sized brain think of it as a secret weapon, he has never made a move, he is really afraid!

After guidance, Westbrook found the root of the blacksmithing. He spent a lot of time practicing shooting, and now his shooting percentage during training is quite impressive.

However, Westbrook lost his confidence in shooting due to the long time of hitting the iron. He did not dare to take long shots in the game. Since the meeting, Westbrook has played more reasonably. He almost forgot about his three-pointers. It was forced to do it!
However, Westbrook would not say this kind of thing.

"Yes, my three-pointer has always been my secret weapon. I planned to reserve it as a key killer move in the finals, but the Warriors underestimated my three-pointer, so I have to punish them!"

"Thank you for your answer. I would like to ask Li the second question. Now, the Eastern Conference finals are tied 2-2. Who do you think will win and become your opponent in the next round?"

Li Haoyu: "Both teams have their own characteristics. No matter who advances to the final, we will be prepared."
