Many media have already begun to build momentum, Philadelphia Twins VS O'Neal!
And in the All-Star individual event, the slam dunk contest between Lee and Carter was even publicized as the battle of the century!

The Oakland All-Stars are also about to become the focus of the world.

However, a week before the All-Star break, an unfortunate thing happened.

On January 2, at the United Center in Chicago.

The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls by 120 points, 65-55.

It's just that there were no ribbons flying at the scene, and the generals of the 76ers didn't mean to celebrate at all.

As soon as the game ended, everyone quickly packed their bags and went straight to the local hospital in Chicago
Someone in the 76ers was injured!

That's right, it's Li Nan!
In today's game, the 76ers still showed no mercy to the Bulls.Another 20 points in the first half.

At the end of the third quarter, seeing the 76ers stretch the score to 30 points again, Artest also became angry from embarrassment, and directly elbowed Li Nan.

On the spot, Artest himself was stunned.

Because he heard the sound of "cracking" bones breaking.

However, what made Artest even more horrified was that the guy with the broken rib even completed a dunk on his teammate Brand.

When facing his own interview, Artest confessed everything.

"I was in the dark. That guy was a freak. He made me feel like I was against Michael Jordan."

In the hospital, everyone also saw Li Nan lying on the hospital bed.

"Brother, are you okay?" Iverson was a little anxious.

"Of course I'm fine! Do you think I'm someone who has something to do?" Li Nan was about to pat his chest, but when he was halfway through the pat, he stopped by himself and stopped on top of the fixed bandages.

Whoops, almost made a fool of myself, Li Nan also smiled "hehe".

Seeing Li Nan like this, everyone felt relieved.

At this time, Snow also asked a little puzzled.

"Brother Li, you broke a rib at that time, why didn't you end up here?"

At that time, Li Nan not only dunked a basket, but also continued to play the remaining 2 minutes of the third quarter.Brutely changed the point difference between the two sides into 40 points!
To be honest, Li Nan himself is a little scared now.If the broken bone accidentally stabbed to the left, then his life would be finished.

However, he really didn't feel anything at the time.

"I didn't feel anything at the time, it was just a dull pain."

Everyone also gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Li is awesome!"

Outside, the news media is also buzzing.

"In today's NBA regular season game, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls by 55 points in an away game. Allen Iverson scored a game-high 46 points and Lee scored 28 points. The 76ers played It was very exciting, but, in the game, an unfortunate thing happened. In the third quarter of the game, Artest broke Lee's ribs rudely."

"According to the latest report from the front reporter, Li is currently in no danger. He will need to recuperate for two months before he can recover and return to the game."

"May the injury go away, and wish Li an early return to the game"

The news of Li Nan's injury spread all over the league and the whole world at once.

Chinese fans were worried, 76ers fans were worried, and Lin Yue, who was far away in Italy, ran over desperately.

In the media, many experts are also very pessimistic about the prospects of the 76ers.

"Lee's injury will take two months to recuperate. When Lee comes back, the game has already reached the playoffs. The ranking of the 76ers will definitely be affected. If Lee fails to come back by then, the 76ers can go far in the playoffs." far?"

"The loss of such an off-ball scorer for the 76ers has had a great impact on Larry Brown's system. Without Lee, the 76ers can't go far. Next, the 76ers will encounter many difficulties in the regular season. Their first One’s position cannot be kept.”

"The reason why the 76ers are strong is because the Philadelphia Twins are strong. Now that Lee is not here, Iverson alone cannot drive the 76ers."

Many media experts have expressed such opinions, however, the facts prove that there is no such thing!

The 76ers can still function normally without Li Nan.

The 76ers have returned to the Snow-Iverson-Pippen-Hill-Wallace mode, fully opening up Iverson's scoring mode, and the other four are all Iverson's helpers!
This makes Iverson feel like a duck to water.

After a few games, the 76ers are still strong.They are still on a winning streak and are still number one in the league!

For the upcoming All-Star Game, the media is also amazed.

"Without Lee, this All-Star Game will become bleak. The slam dunk contest will lose its meaning of the World War"

However, the facts prove that it will not!

Not only will the All-Star Game not be bleak, but it will be extraordinarily exciting.

In the three-point contest, Ray Allen beat Glenn Rice, Peja, Mark Jackson and other shooters to take the lead;

In the skills competition, Nash defeated Kidd, Marbury, Bibby, Jason Williams and other point guards and won the championship;

After the game, this All-Star in Oakland was also evaluated as a very successful All-Star by the media.

The joyful atmosphere of the All-Stars faded away, and everyone turned their attention to the regular season.
