I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 199
The victory in the fourth game of the series has brought obvious morale bonuses to the Rockets players. Thanks to the recovery of the team's stars, the offensive efficiency of the entire Rockets has increased significantly.

But Tang Shuai still has a little worry about the future game. If it is easy to win the last game, it is due to the overwhelming touch of Jordan and Su Yi.

Another reason is that Kobe's offensive efficiency dropped sharply after he focused on defense, and O'Neal only caught 9 rebounds because of the Rockets' high scoring efficiency. It is hard to imagine that Shaquille O'Neal only got 9 rebounds in a game. , O'Neal was unable to rebound in double figures. This is a fact that many Lakers fans can't believe.

The fifth game started one day later, and the Rockets came to the Staples Arena again. The current NBA final stage still implements the 2-3-2 game system, which also reduces the number of players from the two teams. But three consecutive away games are not very friendly to the Rockets.

Last night, a group of Lakers fans went to the hotel rented by the Rockets to cause trouble. Their method affected the rest of the Rockets players.

In today's game, the Rockets did not play as easily as the last game. On the one hand, the Lakers made certain adjustments after losing the game, and on the other hand, they were disturbed by the Lakers fans and did not get enough rest.

In the last game, the Rockets attacked across the board, relying on the team's performance to win the game. However, most of the Rockets' players in this game did not have a sharp attack.

Especially Mai Di's sleepy expression, he could hardly keep his eyes open, he was even more tired than Su Yi's hard work in the middle of the night.

Su Yi was rewarded by Scarlett at the hotel last night, because she received a leading role in a big Disney movie
Of course, Scarlett knows who she is because of, so it is natural to serve her wholeheartedly.

In the second quarter, the Rockets were still behind by two points, but they did not lose confidence. Under the leadership of Su Yi, the Rockets could still play a wonderful counter attack. The basketball was given to Jordan, who assisted him with a dunk to end the offense.

O'Neal can't do anything about it. He can't return to his own half to defend immediately after participating in the offense. He thinks that Kobe didn't play the role he should have.

In this game, although the Rockets did not have enough physical strength to make the offensive efficiency better, they still played very fiercely. Randolph, who was facing up against O'Neal in the interior, did not choose to leave the field after his nose was bleeding. A cotton ball returned to the field.

Jordan's shooting percentage is not as accurate as in the previous game, but he still squeezes inside with a pair of thick elbows, not at all like an "old man" who is nearly 40 years old.

But Jordan's tactics still played a certain role. At least he could cause fouls from the Lakers players, and he could even create almost open shots for Su Yi. It is commonplace, and it is difficult to have a chance to make a slight shot.

This also made Su Yi's shooting percentage in the first two quarters very low, only 25%. Teammates strike iron.

With Jordan's help, Su Yi increased his scoring to 18 points before the end of the first half, and his shooting percentage also increased to 28%
But one thing bad about Jordan's offensive method is that he is very unsafe like this, and there is even a risk of injury.

Sure enough, not long before the start of the second half, when Jordan broke through Kobe's defense, he was double-teamed by Kobe and O'Neal, although Jordan passed the basketball out in time.

But O'Neal's impact directly knocked Jordan into the air. When he landed, Jordan clutched his waist and didn't get up for a while.

Kobe grabbed the basketball after Jordan was knocked away. He hesitated for a moment, and after realizing that the referee didn't blow the foul whistle, he rushed towards the Rockets' half court.

He didn't find anything wrong with Jordan, he just wanted to help the team win, and he also felt that O'Neal's slamming action was too big,
Kobe's forward breakthrough was not blocked much, and the Rockets' players focused on the Lakers' half court.

There, Michael Jordan held his waist and didn't get up for a long time. All the Rockets players were very worried.

Kobe dunked smoothly, opening the point difference between the two teams to ten.

After he turned around, he realized that Jordan seemed to be injured, and he also looked surprised.

Su Yi had already noticed something was wrong. He didn't go back to defense like other teammates, but squatted beside Jordan, and Tang Shuai also sent the team doctor to check Michael Jordan's injury in time.

The team doctor pressed Jordan's back a few times, and then began to call the stretcher onto the court.

"Doctor, how is Michael's injury? Can he come back to participate in the game?" The teammates gathered in front of the doctor one by one and asked. Jordan is really important to the Rockets. He is not just a star. He is the soul of the Rockets now, and the leader of the Rockets' rush to the final stage of the playoffs.

"His lumbar spine is injured, and he can no longer participate in the competition. It will not take a year and a half to recover from this injury, and it is not recommended for him to exercise strenuously after recovery. This kind of injury will increase the burden on the body. If you don't want to let If he is in a wheelchair in the future, it is best to let him go to the hospital for treatment."

"Get out of the way, don't delay the treatment!" Su Yi saw Jordan's painful appearance after being injured, as if the injury was on his own body.

For a long time, he has regarded Jordan as his mentor, and he treats Jordan like an idol. Although this guy is a bit lecherous at times, he is really a good person. What he really wants is to win again before retiring. The championship, for which he has put in a lot of effort.

When he is not in good shape, Jordan is mostly leading the team to win. He is the most trustworthy person of the team and the spine of the team.

Now this spine is down. Facing the mighty Lakers, he did not give up cowardly. He kept fighting, even at the risk of being injured. This was something that Su Yi didn't have before.

"Don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible, everyone, don't give up, we have hope to win the Lakers, as long as we can beat the Lakers, the championship is in sight! Don't give up."

Su Yi squatted in front of Jordan, grabbed Jordan's palm, and was speechless for a long time. He couldn't bear to tell Dr. Jordan's diagnosis, and he couldn't bear to let Jordan know that he might not be able to return to this arena.

With tears in Jordan's eyes, he seemed to know that he would not be able to return to participate in the remaining games. He was very sad, but he didn't want to affect the morale of the team.

"Su Yi, if I can't come back, I hope you can lead the team. The next game will depend on you. Don't give up. I believe you can create miracles!"

Jordan was carried away by the team doctor. He reluctantly waved at Su Yi. He felt nostalgic and unwilling. He felt that his injury might not be so easy to recover. Leaving the field this time might be a farewell.
