Chapter 207 Unexpected Injury

The two teams are close in strength, and for various reasons, they both showed the attitude and energy to win this game.So at the beginning of the game, the two sides fought with real knives and guns, and the physical confrontation was very frequent, and it even felt like a playoff game.

The heart-wrenching scene occurred when Yi Jianlian and Villanueva were fighting for a defensive rebound with 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in this quarter. Yi Jianlian accidentally landed on his back and fell heavily on the floor.

Yi Jianlian fell on his back and fell to the floor. Ying Xiong, who was sitting on the home team's bench, instantly stood up and looked anxiously into the field, sweating secretly for Ah Lian.

"A Lian, you must not get hurt!" Ying Xiong secretly prayed in his heart.He has never wanted to see injuries happen in basketball games, no matter whether the injured person is his teammate or opponent.At this time, the ones who might be injured are his compatriots, and he is even more unwilling to see this happen.

Ying Xiong himself has experienced injuries and understands what a sudden injury means to a rising player.He himself missed the national team and the Olympics because of an ankle injury in the finals, which indirectly affected his rookie season in the NBA.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian didn't fall too badly. Although he felt some discomfort in his back, he still stayed on the court firmly.Even with 1 minute and 49 seconds left in this quarter, he made a key 3-pointer.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides drew.Yi Jianlian scored 9 points in the first quarter, which is evident in his excellent competitive state.

However, when the second quarter started, Yi Jianlian, who was supposed to be on the bench, did not appear.Ying Xiong estimated that he should have gone back to the locker room to be checked by the team doctor during the break.

It was not until nearly half of the second quarter that Yi Jianlian played again.After he came back, he didn't know whether it was because of the discomfort in his back or the long rest time. His state was not as hot as in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage began to decline.

In contrast, the Bucks began to take the initiative on the field, and Villanueva and others in the team began to show off.As a result, at the end of the first half, the Nets fell behind by double digits.

The home team led by a big score, and the fans were in a good mood, with constant laughter.For them, Yi Jianlian is not an indispensable All-Star player. Without him, the team can still play very well.

Ying Xiong was more worried about Yi Jianlian's injury during the halftime break, but he is a Bucks player after all and has his own standpoint. He can't blatantly visit the visiting team's locker room before the game is over.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Yi Jianlian hit a three-pointer to dispel people's doubts about his back injury in the first quarter. His condition looks very good.With 3 minutes and 5 seconds left in this quarter, he received an assist from Kenyon Dooling in a third-line fast break and dunked with both hands!
This ball showed Yi Jianlian's speed, awareness, and jumping to the fullest. Even Ying Xiong on the sidelines couldn't help applauding him.

The Nets gradually caught up with Yi Jianlian's outstanding performance, which made the Bucks a little anxious.

The most heart-wrenching scene appeared in the second half of the third quarter.Yi Jianlian unexpectedly returned to the waiting room after a timeout, and he had been touching his right hand for the previous 3 minutes.

Ying Xiong has been watching the game from the sidelines, knowing that Ah Lian seemed to have snapped his fingers when he was grabbing the ball just now.As a golfer, he could feel the severity of the snapped finger this time.Because after that, the UAE was obviously in a different state from before.

Ying Xiong waited anxiously on the bench, he hoped to see UAE come back to continue the game as it did in the second quarter.But his intuition told him that the injury this time may not seem obvious, but it is likely to be much more serious than the fall in the first quarter.

Subsequently, the press officer sent a bad news: Yi Jianlian will no longer continue to participate in the game due to a fractured right little finger.

"Fragmented little finger? It's so serious!" Ying Xiong sighed inwardly.He couldn't imagine how painful and difficult it is for a basketball player to have a broken finger.You know, basketball players rely on their hands to play basketball. If the finger is broken, it means that they will not be able to play for at least a month. This is a terrible thing for the UAE.

Ah Lian cracked his fingers, and Ying Xiong's thoughts had drifted to the visiting team's lounge, and he was not as concerned about the situation of the game as he was at the beginning.

In the end, the Bucks narrowly beat the Nets by 0.5 points with Lucidno's winning mid-range shot in the last 2 seconds of the game.

After the game, Ying Xiong immediately went to the visiting team lounge.There, he saw Yi Jianlian who had been immobilized after applying ice.

"Brother Lian, what do you think?" Ying Xiong looked concerned.

"Fortunately, the team doctor preliminarily judged that the bone was fractured, and the official result will be known after the examination tomorrow!" Yi Jianlian felt Ying Xiong's concern for him, and explained with a smile.

"You obviously played so well, how lucky are you... You have managed to get a foothold in the Nets now, this..." Ying Xiong frowned, with a distressed expression on his face.

"This was an accident. Injuries are really things that cannot be prevented. I am also very uncomfortable, but I can only accept it. Just like your injuries in the finals, they are beyond your control." Yi Jianlian The mood is not very good, obviously this incident has hit him not small.

Ying Xiong feels the same for Yi Jianlian's injury.Thinking back to when his ankle was injured, he really felt for a moment that if the fracture was broken and he couldn't even stand up, what should he do.

"Do you need surgery?" Ying Xiong asked.

"No surgery needed!" Yi Jianlian replied.

When Ying Xiong left the visiting team lounge where Yi Jianlian was, he was in a bad mood.As for Ah Lian, although he didn't have much contact with him, and it was the first time the two met today, he admired each other very much in his heart.Because of the relationship with the Bucks, the two have been connected since Ying Xiong entered the NBA.

Ying Xiong received a lot of unfair treatment in the Bucks, so he looks forward to the development of the UAE in the Nets.He hopes that the UAE can play in the Nets and let the Bucks see how stupid it is to underestimate Chinese players.

And the UAE was injured in the game against the Bucks, which made him feel the injustice of fate and the teasing of fate.For the UAE, it was originally the starting power forward of the Nets who was firmly established, and is launching an impact with the team in the playoffs.In next month's All-Star Game, he is likely to represent the sophomore team in the rookie game.However, this injury made his All-Star journey almost impossible.After his comeback, there are big question marks to what extent his state can recover and whether he can get the starting lineup.
