Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 179
Injuries are an important factor in determining the title of the championship. That year the Lakers and Pistons met twice in the Finals. Before that, Isaiah Thomas dragged his injured leg. He scored 25 points in the third quarter of the sixth game and it was still difficult to save the savior. The battle was powerless, and the Pistons were finally reversed with a 3-2 lead.Later, Byron Scott and Magician were both injured in the finals. They were in excellent condition, but the Lakers, who swept all the way to the finals, were swept by the Pistons.

In order to keep the players as healthy as possible, Jim not only increased the depth of the bench to reduce the playing time of the main players, but also invested heavily in team doctors and trainers. Some wrong training methods may increase the risk of injury for players. , and an unreliable team doctor team will become a time bomb for the team. Countless stars have been mistaken by quack doctors and have not reached their due heights.

Before facing the sun, Jim had been restless.

In the previous week, the Sun fired Frank Johnson, who had a poor record, and signed Mike D'Antoni, who advocated offense, as the new coach. One of the archetypes of Takenori Akagi, Jim is extremely afraid.

After consulting Thomas Carter, Jim got feedback that the team is in good health and Artest will be back soon. As for Malone, his playing time is around 28 minutes per game, which is nearly 10% lower than last season. Minutes, thanks to the good state of the team, many games are played in three quarters, which gives the main lineup more rest time and avoids the potential danger of injury.

Against the Suns, the Lakers sent Billups, Kobe Bryant, Bell, Malone and Garnett as the starting five.

The Sun's lineup is Marbury, Joe Johnson, Marion, Boozer and Scott Williams.

In the first 3 minutes of the game, the home audience clearly noticed the changes in the team. Both Malone and Garnett were obviously floating, and even pulled to the position close to the three-point line, giving up all the low posts to Kobe.

The Suns sent Marion to mark Kobe. In front of hackers with long hands and feet and a strong body, Kobe's low-post singles did not work well.

On the contrary, it was Joe Johnson and Marbury, who shot every shot from the outside. The two hit 3 consecutive three-pointers. The Suns led 11 to 5, giving the Lakers a blow.

Jim on the sidelines was extremely nervous. What he watched was not the score, but the timer and Malone's every move on the field.Although the Zen master adjusted his tactical arrangement under his own strong interference, this does not guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

Seeing that the team was behind and Kobe's offense was somewhat blocked, Malone felt that it was time to make a move. Relatively speaking, Boozer was the Suns' defensive weakness. Although this season's offensive data was close to 20 plus 10, Boozer was very good. It perfectly interprets the meaning of attacking kaleidoscope and defending ten thousand people.

Malone waved to Billups for the ball, turned to face-up, and faced Boozer. With just a fake shot, Boozer was sent flying.

Malone took advantage of the opportunity to wipe Boozer and was about to make a layup. Scott Williams hurried back to the defense, without controlling his body, and directly pressed towards Malone.

"This Carl, what's going on! You have to go inside to find trouble!" Jim stomped his feet anxiously.

The two collided, entangled and fell to the ground, the referee whistled, and Scott Williams made a defensive foul.

Jim was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. In his previous life, Malone fell into the hands of Scott Williams. His knee was pressed by his opponent, resulting in a severe sprain and torn ligament. He missed half a season. Although he forced his comeback in the playoffs, But in the devilish Western Conference against Duncan and Garnett, exhausted the last bit of energy, finally fell in the finals, and missed the last chance to win the championship.

Neither of them stood up for a long time. The team doctors of both sides rushed into the field, and Jim also rushed to the field with Gary Vitti.The ground was stained with blood, obviously the collision just now was very tragic.Williams fell under the basket and covered his mouth, rolling back and forth in pain, with blood dripping from his fingers.

Ma Long sat up against the basket, rubbing his invincible right elbow.

Jim finally let go of his heart. There are not many people who can hurt Malone's elbow. As long as it is not a knee injury, everything is acceptable.

Vitti soon discovered what was at fault. Malone had two teeth lodged in his elbow. Combined with Scott Williams' bloody face on the other side, the origin of the teeth was self-evident.

The big-screen playback showed that Williams' defense was directly directed at the person, ready to hug Malone down, but Malone stopped before taking off, set up the ball with his right hand, and shot with a small hook with his left hand.

Williams, who flew over, hit Malone's elbow head-on, knocked out 4 front teeth, and two of them bit Malone's arm directly.

Both are unable to continue the game, Williams needs to go to the dentist to install dentures, and Malone needs to have a chipped tooth on his arm removed and the wound treated.

"This is a small injury, I will be back soon." Before returning to the locker room, Malone signaled to the other players that he was fine.

Taking advantage of the time when the staff wiped off the blood on the floor and disinfected it, Jim secretly signaled to Gary Vitti that, just in case, try not to let Malone play again in this game.

Vitti has worked for the Lakers for 20 years, so of course he knows how to measure. He strictly abides by the league’s work procedures, from hemostasis to disinfection, then removes the tooth fragments, cleans the wound and then stitches. After a set of procedures, the time has passed for an hour and a half, and so on. When Malone returned to the sidelines, the game was almost over.

加内特23分18篮板，科比19分9助攻，韦德15分，替补马龙出任大前锋的内内也得到了10分11篮板的两双表现，湖人112比104主场击败太阳。

"There is no doubt that Karl Malone is a dirty player. I have never seen such an offense. Two players in a row have lost their front teeth because of Malone's vicious elbow. Intervene to prevent similar situations from happening again." Suns coach D'Antoni blasted Malone after the game.

"It was an accident, and as you can see on video, Scott Williams was going to block Carl's layup with a rough foul, and that move ended up causing two players to leave the game with injuries, which we didn't want. Seeing the results, I hope that injuries will stay away from the entire league." Jim has no time to argue with D'Antoni. Anyway, Malone has passed the Suns, but the season has just passed a quarter, and December is a period of high incidence of injuries. Coupled with Artest's injury before, this made the team sound the alarm.

　In Slam Dunk, there is a picture of a gorilla grabbing a rebound (it seems to be the Hainan battle) that was drawn according to Scott Williams, and the movements and expressions are exactly the same.
