206 - New Aid Appears
On December 12, the Rockets officially released a message: "Olajuwon injured his left knee and will undergo surgery. The injury will be out for 3-2 months."

A piece of sports news quickly spread throughout the NBA.

"New York Athletic": "I wish Hajim a speedy recovery!"

"Orlando Sentinel": "Big Dream will definitely be back soon."

"Sports Illustrated": "May the injury stay away from all of us!"

People in the media expressed their condolences and blessings.

And the tabloid called The Sports Vanguard said so.

"The reasonable collision zone is the chief culprit of Olajuwon's injury!"

"Because of the emergence of a reasonable collision zone, more players choose to try to hit the inside. Many inside players are more tired defensively. It is reported that many inside players have suffered large and small injuries in the new season. Olajuwon just One of them. In the future, as the game goes on, there will be more big players who are overwhelmed, especially the veterans."

This report aims to analyze and remind, and it has indeed attracted the attention and discussion of many readers.

Some readers who consider themselves professionals say that Olajuwon's injury was just an accident. It is not uncommon for NBA players to get injured.

Many readers also believe that the reasonable collision zone is indeed the culprit.The burden on many inside players has increased.

Some people even believe that the reasonable collision zone is a new rule promulgated for some people's certain purposes.As for the purpose, no one can guess.

It's just that this newspaper is just a tabloid after all, and it hasn't attracted the attention of the public.

……

On this night, the 76ers ushered in the first game after the arrival of the new aid at home. The opponent was the New York Knicks next door!
The Knicks currently have a record of 12-4 and are third in the Eastern Conference.
The Philadelphia 76ers have a 7-9 record and are tenth in the Eastern Conference.

In the last preseason game, Ewing of the Knicks suffered a minor injury while playing against the 76ers.In that game, the Knicks also lost to the 76ers.

Before the game started today, the Knicks players were a little ready to move.

Especially Ewing!He can't wait to ravage the vulnerable inside of the 76ers!
……

The starting players of both sides in this game:

Hot fire team:
Ward, Houston, Johnson, Oakley, Ewing.

76ers:

Iverson, Li Nan, Witherspoon, Coleman, Williams.

……

beep!
One whistle, the game begins!
The Knicks attacked the 76ers inside as soon as they came up.

Ward was about to throw the ball to Ewing, who was stuck inside!

beep!
The whistle sounded!

Only 10 seconds into the game, the referee whistled the first foul!
"Pushing foul! 76ers Williams!"

Williams is also very helpless, not tall enough.I can only think of other ways to destroy it.

It was still this round of attack, and a few more seconds passed.

Ward successfully fed the ball to Ewing in the penalty area.

Everyone said that Olajuwon's footwork around the basket is very good, and Ewing also showed off today.

Turn left, turn right.
Ewing made a layup, and Williams jumped up.

This is a feint!Williams was cheated!
Ewing moved away and was about to make a layup.

Williams, who was in the air, pulled subconsciously.

Beep!Another foul by Williams!
However, the man didn't hold back, and Ewing still threw the ball.

"and one!"

Ewing yelled very arrogantly, and he couldn't stop clicking with his fingers.

Williams, on the other hand, lowered his head in frustration.In the first round, he already had two fouls.

Off the field, Larry Brown was very calm and had no plans to make substitutions.

At the free throw line, Ewing grinned happily.

"You are really vulnerable!"

Coleman and Williams standing beside them also frowned.

The two are the two with the most defensive pressure in the 76ers team. They have to be chiseled by their opponents every game, which is really uncomfortable.

Facing a big center like Ewing, who has skills and body, it is even more difficult for the two to defend.

Outside the three-point line, Li Nan and Iverson looked at each other.

Iverson's eyes were cold and murderous!It seems to be saying: Li, that guy is a bit arrogant!

Li Nan also frowned slightly: Brother, then show him some color.

At the free throw line, Ewing made a steady free throw.

3:0
A wave of 3 points made Ewing very proud.He smiled smugly and ran back with his back.

At this moment, Williams from outside the baseline made a quick serve and directly found Iverson.

Iverson whizzed past Ewing.

Ewing couldn't catch up, so he could only shout.

"Defense!"

To Ewing's relief, there were still three people guarding their backcourt.One is Ward, one is Houston, and the other is Johnson.

Ward and Houston went straight to Iverson!

However, Iverson made a right pass from the crotch while on the move,

"what?"

The white number 9 rushed out.

Facing Larry Johnson, Li Nan simply swayed left and right, and passed easily!
Iverson's trick has been used many times by Li Nan.However, it is really very practical.

Li Nan rushed straight to the basket and jumped up.

boom!A two-handed slam dunk!
3:2
"Wow!"

"ALi! ALI! ALI!"

There were cheers everywhere.

Ewing stopped outside the three-point line, watching the gays No. 3 and No. 9 in white clap their hands angrily and walk away.

"Damn! This trip was in vain."

Williams, who was still depressed just now, greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Lee, Allen, well done!"

Iverson gave a cool thumbs up.

Li Nan thumped Williams' chest, "Good serve!"

However, this is not the time to celebrate, the game has just begun.

The Knicks' offense is at it again.

This time, Ward is still looking for Ewing inside!Even though the 76ers' help defense was nearby, Ward passed the ball in.

As soon as Ewing received the ball, Coleman double-teamed it!
Both of them were a little taller than Ewing, but Ewing was not afraid at all, and directly raised his elbow and bumped it, forcefully.

beep!
Foul!
Today's whistle is extraordinarily severe!
Williams's hands were slightly spread out and fixed in front of him, but his eyes were looking straight at the referee.

"He used his elbows, it must be his offensive foul, right?"

Who is the referee looking for for this foul?
On the sidelines of the halfway line, the referee gestured to the technical platform.

"Battler foul, 76ers, number 55!"

Seeing this result, Williams also shook his head helplessly.

Three fouls!And it was three fouls within 1 minute!Williams knows what awaits him.

"Am I going to be replaced?"

Sure enough~
beep!
Larry Brown is going to be substituted.

To be replaced is - Ben Wallace.

Li Nan stepped forward and patted him, "Don't worry, we will avenge you."

Williams smiled miserably, and walked off the stage with an "ah~".

New aid Ben Wallace debuts!
