basketball never sleeps

Chapter 212 They Bully!
At the press conference after the game, a group of reporters waited eagerly, waiting for the hot man to appear.

But Ajan, whom they were thinking about, did not appear as scheduled. Only Reed, Big Z and Marshall were present with Mike Brown.

What about my big "emperor"?

My 9-point triple-double... where's the MVP-to-quadruple-double?
His desire to win is so strong that he went back to watch the video as soon as the game was over?
This group of reporters really didn't care much about the Cavaliers' loss. After all, the Heat hadn't lost a home game this year, and the visiting team's press conference was the same as a church at 10 p.m.—it was all about confession and prayer.

Mike Brown has prepared four different speeches before the game, namely "luck", "mistakes", "hope" and "strength".

Each article is carefully polished word by word, and what stands out is that a loser does not lose.

But this group of reporters didn't intend to listen. The first question they came up with was "Where did James go?"

"James, he is a tough and restrained kid, you know, oh, you don't know, in fact, he has been plagued by injuries before this game."

"He knows it, and we know it too, but he doesn't want to make the injury public. He doesn't want to worry and disappoint the fans. He chooses to carry everything silently. He also believes that he still has the same strength as the Heat, the strongest team in history. higher ability."

"However, the strength of the Heat in the playoffs is obviously beyond his imagination. Shouldn't he only make the best first defense? According to me, he has the strength to compete for the best defensive player. In addition, his own injuries are also dragging his hind legs hard."

"He didn't cry out for pain or ask for an end. Even if he didn't perform well, he worked hard to contribute everything on the court. I really don't know how to describe his greatness!"

"We thought it was just a minor injury at first, but the team doctor told me very seriously that his injury was serious enough not to affect his career, but it was quite serious, so after the preliminary examination, we He was sent to the hospital for further examination."

Mike Brown's tone was low and his expression was low. He didn't know if it was because of sadness or something, and he covered the lower half of his face with both hands.

The reporters off the field suddenly realized.

It turned out that Azhan suffered from injuries before the game, so his performance today also makes sense.

Eh, wait.

If they remember correctly, James played 43 minutes just now, which is more than his regular season playing time...

Jie is a sick number?

Moreover, there were reporters who came from the locker room. After the game, the locker room was open for a period of time. At that time, they didn't see where James was injured?

"Yes, it all stems from his willpower, his fighting spirit that he doesn't want to give up, didn't Mike 'The Flu Game' also played 45 minutes, for players of their level, injuries are not an excuse to escape, pain And discomfort hurts them far less than a loss."

Mike Brown, who used to be teammates with Danzi, is very good at bragging about his own star.

"Then you mean, James will continue to play in the next game, right?" A reporter asked.

Mike Brown wanted to nod subconsciously, but fortunately his mind turned around:

"Not necessarily, it depends on the test results and the doctor's opinion. James is still young. Even if he wants to win, he needs to know one thing. His body does not belong to him alone. His family, the Cavaliers, and Cleveland's Fans, including Nike, will not allow him to make fun of his career."

I have to say that Mike Brown is indeed capable of becoming the head coach who has worked with Ajan for the longest time in his career.

"Can you tell me what kind of injury James suffered?" A reporter asked eagerly.

"Toothache... I mean, my tooth suddenly hurt. The injury is his personal privacy. He doesn't want to reveal too much, and we can't go into details. We can only tell everyone that his injury is on the lower body."

Reporters were still not satisfied with the answer, but the topic was almost over.

Fortunately, the other Cavaliers stars who came to the press conference either pursed their lips or lowered their heads. They looked uncomfortable, and they must have something to say.

……

Ajan is hurt?

This is indeed a good excuse to pay for your poor performance.

The league also quickly exerted its strength, using the news that James was injured and persevering to beat the audience, and it overshadowed the news that Azhan did not perform well and failed to score in double figures in a single game.

People are always tolerant of the wounded, even if the "wounded" did not show a bit of injury during the game, but instead showed a little "Arkham native" in the second half.

Is A-Zhan really hurt?

His post-match kicking of the cabinet in a cathartic way did inflict serious damage on his toes, and the flesh under five fingernails was purple and black.

What, Ajan is black... don't pay attention to so many details.

It is undeniable that Azhan did have some minor injuries. After all, the Cavaliers' opponents in the last round were the Pacers. If they wanted to step on them, Carlisle would have to give himself two big mouths.

But if it really hurts, the most serious thing is probably a toothache.

It was night, after leaving a private hospital with a good reputation for confidentiality, A Zhan went to the dental clinic again.

Mainly because he is free, he also wants to fill his memory with other things, to dilute the shadow and memory brought to him by the last game.

In addition, his teeth are indeed a little uncomfortable.

"It shouldn't be. It can be seen that your teeth have only been filled for two months, and the doctor's work is also in place. It seems that your periodontal problem is not too big. If you really feel pain, I suggest you investigate further. one time."

A Zhan hesitated for a moment, but chose to believe in the professionalism of doctors.

The next night.

After seeing the reason for A-Zhan's "bad condition" from the report, Mo Wen called A-Zhan's cell phone with a suppressed smile.

"Hey, brother, how are you? I heard you're injured? Are you serious? Which hospital are you in now? I'll go see you with Dwyane and the others now."

A Zhan heard the teasing in Mo Wen's tone, and was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

You can't beat it, you can't beat it.

Speaking of which, after making such a fake excuse, he knew that he would definitely be laughed at by Mo Wen and Wade.

But he made a wiser choice than being ridiculed by popular fans.

"I'm not kidding you. My toes were really uncomfortable in the last game. That bastard Jackson used my left toe as a brake pad in the last round. My big toe has been stepped on by him. I told You, you don't deserve such a bastard, do you?"

"Oh, hehe, which foot did the guy who kicked the locker in our locker room use?" Mo Wen asked with a smirk.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Was it someone from our team who kicked the cabinet? It's okay, our team will pay for it." A-Zhan felt his face turn red, and gritted his teeth.

If you have the ability, keep asking, if you speak too clearly, you can't be friends!

"Hehe, that's fine, as long as you are fine, we are still waiting to see you win the MVP trophy in the next game. Congratulations, my brother!" Mo Wen holding the phone was half true and half fake (evil ) congratulated.

The league found a way, did not delay, and announced the MVP voting results as scheduled.

This is how the first big personal honor of Ajan's career came.

"The next game... not necessarily. I still need to see the results of the inspection. If possible, I hope to receive the award at home. Then I will let you see the true strength of the MVP."

Ah Zhan originally wanted to speak harshly, but when he thought of Mo Wen's handsome face with a kind and dark face, he subconsciously "stepped back".

Speaking of which, the Cavaliers have no plan to win at home with the Heat. What they want is to take advantage of free throws at home to beat O'Fang early. They are not much weaker if they are just outside the Twins, and they will fight for one or two victories at that time. , as long as you can save face and hope.

After a few more polite words, the two hung up the phone.

Looking at the rising moon on the sea outside the hotel, James sighed leisurely.

If there is no substantial injury, he will probably still play in the next game, and he may even be the worst MVP.

Don't others know that his teammates don't know?
Just look at Pippen's big mouth, and you can see that don't expect these guys to help him keep his secrets.

If he wants to wear a crown, he must bear its weight. Maybe this is a calamity in his life.

dong dong——

The team doctor knocked on Ajan's door.

He opened the door with some doubts, and saw the team doctor holding two reports and said to him with a serious face:
"LeBron, pack up quickly. I asked the team leader to book a flight for us, just for tonight. We're going back to Cleveland tonight."

James:? ? ?

no, what happened?
Does this posture mean that he really has a serious injury? !

Is it serious enough to go back to Cleveland that night?

(Note: Cleveland Clinic ranks second in the world)
His legs suddenly became weak, and his toes, which he hadn't felt much before, also ached, the knee of the other leg seemed to be a little weak, and his buttocks were also a little stiff and tense.

"What happened, doctor, do I feel all right?"

The team doctor shook his head.

"The hospital you went to in the morning was fine, but the dental hospital you went to in the afternoon also sent back the test results..."

James breathed a sigh of relief.

What did he think it was, dentistry, even if all the teeth fell out, it wouldn't affect his playing. Wouldn't the NBA have to lose a few teeth in the playoffs every year?

Apart from ribs, the most dangerous thing for professional players is teeth.

Later, the bald-headed Qiang...Sen also made a movie about a tooth-breaking villain who played ice hockey. He stole the pocket money his stepdaughter exchanged with the tooth fairy to play cards, and was punished by wearing a "little devil" The amazing story of being a dentist for a week in the "Fairy" suit.

"Do you want to pull your teeth? It doesn't matter, just two painkillers, and you still need to go back to Cleveland?"

"No, it's not a tooth problem. They took pictures of something else from your jaw. After identification, they suggest you go to the oncology department to have a look..."

"What?" The turn was too big and James couldn't react for a while.

"I hope it's fake or benign, but I have to go to Cleveland for a biopsy... It's best not to delay this kind of thing."

The team doctor shrugged at him with a rather helpless expression, which was beyond his scope of service.

Gumbling—

It's broken, my tooth hurts!

(It’s not fictional, A-Zhan did find out a tumor in his mouth during the 08 season, but fortunately it was benign, and it didn’t recur after taking general anesthesia during the offseason.)
……

Mo Wen thought that Ah Zhan was just joking, but he didn't expect this kid to be serious.

Could it be that he was really that heavy in the last game?

Uh... I broke A-Zhan's record of scoring in double figures in 136 consecutive games?
Well, it's a little heavy.

But it's not enough to avoid the war. At this time, Heizi can't write such an unrealistic plot to avoid the war.

How should I put it, Ah Zhan is really hurt?
Ajan flew back to Cleveland overnight so that G2 had no suspense early.

Reid, who scored 40+ in the game, was beaten back to his original shape.

Without A-Zhan's involvement, Mo Wen and Wade's attention shifted to him.

A healthy Reid is also a very good scorer. The Bucks did not hesitate to send Ray Allen away in order to train him, which shows how optimistic they are about this left-handed player.

He scored better than Ray Allen last season.

It's a pity that he is a pure scorer. He averaged 19 points per game in his career, but only 2.1 assists per game. His off-ball running position is top-notch, but even the top off-ball running position must be matched with a qualified one. dealer.

A-Zhan was not there, and Snow was terribly attacked by Mo Wen's defense. In addition, Wade defended with all his strength to make up for his "fault" of scoring 40 points under his own defense. Reed also somewhat understood A-Zhan's feelings.

I haven't boarded the plane yet~!

Reid's shooting is not bad, and today he entered garbage time before halftime, he managed to score 21 points before the end of the game.

But the Cavaliers lost miserably.

One core body ran away, the other core lost its soul, and the morale of the entire team almost fell into the Mariana Plateau.

It looks like a brothel oiran who has stolen red pills, which makes people uninterested (pants).

Heat 124:83 Cavaliers.

Mike Brown thanked Da Fan three times after the game for not killing.

In the middle, the Heat once opened the point difference to 49 points.

He was just 1 point away from the finish line.

May 5th, Mother's Day.

The Ah-Zhan family waited anxiously for the result. If it was benign, it would be fine, if it was malignant... it would not be a week away.

Seeing the doctor smile and take out his test results, the Azhan family was relieved.

God bless.

Azhan, who survived the catastrophe, also felt that his strength was returning to his body.

Hey, I feel better today, I can trot, I can still jump, hey, jump!

Seeing James running and jumping excitedly in the corridor, a confused nurse passing by showed him the way.

"The psychiatric department is on the 5th floor of building 13... Oh god, are you James? God are you missing the game because of this disease?"

……

Before the G3 game, Nike also hinted to Mo Wen through Humane that everyone should be united and harmonious.

How good it is for everyone to make good data together, win over "gentry", and earn money from fans together.

Before the semi-finals, Nike's top executives had great expectations for Ajan.

As their cooperation with the league deepened, they also knew about Azhan's MVP in the first place.

It's just that whoever wants to be overjoyed immediately, A-Zhan pulled a big one in public!

The outside line missed the airdrop, the inside line was blocked again and again, and the acting skills were too eye-catching when looking for the whistle. In the end, even the fig leaf of fighting spirit was gone.

And the one defending him was actually Mo Wen, who was also under their flag.

What is this? To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside?

(Mathematics teacher: How many times have I said it, the ones in the brackets are calculated first!)
The key point is that it would be fine if Mo Wen exploded in scoring. He patronized to defend Azhan to death, and his performance dropped greatly.

Adi, who was watching the fun, laughed numbly. This is not the Nike twins, isn't this the Nike twins (shu)!

Mo Wen was not hypocritical, and confessed to Xiuman that the first scene was just for fun.

Originally, Mo Wen didn't intend to lock up A Zhan for the entire series.

It's exhausting and unrealistic.

How to win is not to win, so doing it is completely thankless.

The only value is to destroy Ajan's status.

However, as an opponent who may be in the next decade or so, Mo Wen hopes that Azhan's status will be high. Think about it. Ten years later, Nowitzki has never said anything bad about Azhan, and even made Azhan a historical scorer. The queen affirmed his status as goat...

It's just that Wade feels a little pity.

He still likes Ajan's appearance after the G1 game.

It may be that personal tastes are different, Wade likes the half-dead ones.

Unbeknownst to Wade, his hobbies betrayed his abilities.

Experts in real protracted warfare do not like one-sided shocks.

Before the start of the G3 game, Ajan, who came back with full blood, jumped all the way along the red carpet laid by the Cavaliers to Stern.

Reached out to take the glory that symbolizes the pinnacle of a player, and held it up high.

The Cavaliers fans cheered for James like crazy, as if seeing him lead the Cavaliers to the championship.

Sad to say, this is the first time they have an MVP-level player in the 35 years since the team was established.

It is also the record-breaking and youngest MVP in history.

When all the lights went out and only Ajan was left holding the trophy in the middle of the court, most of the fans in front of the TV also forgot his poor performance in the last game.

"He won the MVP at the age of 21. I can't even imagine what this kid will achieve in the future!"

"He's too young, and it doesn't make sense to say it. I don't know why the league would give a team with the sixth-ranked record in the regular season the MVP."

"Duncan, Dirk, Nash, Bryant, and the Heat, which one is not better than him? Just because his statistics are better? But he doesn't look good at all!"

"Don't complain, this MVP is the same as O'Neal's top 50. They are all overdrawn by the league in advance, but judging by his performance on the court, the league is about to overturn this time."

Except for Cavaliers fans, most fans feel that Ajan's election is not worthy of the name.

A Zhan has no qualifications, no achievements, and no dominance.

Why?

MVP is obviously judged according to the present, when did it become an investment in the future?

Wade watched it all on the locker room TV.

Looking at the unpretentious little bronze man.

Wade, who has only one cheap glass trophy for the Skills Challenge so far, picked up Lemon Madness.

"Mo, do you think LeBron needs a beating today, why don't we fuck him again?"

Mo Wen's eyes flickered, but he didn't agree.

Just kidding, how could anyone mess with someone else's son in front of his father.

"Don't do it, it's boring. If he gets anxious, he will be beaten, and I will be suspended. Who do you rely on to win?"

"Hmph, with me here, what are you afraid of? If you don't come, I will come. If you weren't here, this trophy might be mine!" Wade snorted and offered to change the defensive target.

Speaking of which, he doesn't want to defend Reid anymore.

Reed relied on his height to pull him up all the time, and it made him feel very shameless to score two occasionally.

It is much easier to defend against A-Zhan. Although he also shoots, the crosshair is not much different from him.

"Are you defending? I'm afraid LeBron is going to have a career night." Mo Wen patted Wade on the head.

"Tch, who do you look down on? You are not as heavy as me, you are not as fast as I am, and you can't jump as high as me. You think I can't guard against him?" Wade retorted in disbelief.

"Then make a bet on whether he can get 25...forget it, 35 points." Seeing the fish take the bait, Mo Wen was very happy.

"It's almost done. If he can score 20 points, I'll be considered a loser. With 35 points, I can make him not score so many points in this series!" Wade patted his chest, quite confident.

Simply "shifting" based on Azhan's G1 performance, 35 points is considered high.

Mo Wen smiled and stopped talking.

Stern, and the president of Nike came in person, the MVP trophy was presented, the Cavaliers' home court, Donaghy whistled, and James "returned the king" after two days of training.

Tsk, it's good to be ignorant.

The whistle sounded, and the game of G3 began.

James, who survived the catastrophe, believed more and more that he was the "chosen one".

So I played quite confidently from the very beginning.

Especially the defender changed from Mo Wen to Wade, which made him feel no psychological pressure at all.

Today is the day for him to wash away his humiliation and perform miracles in the next step!
bang bang-

Wade, who was pushed three meters away at the beginning, felt a little confused.

Wasn't he still defending James on the outside just now?How did he run to the basket?

A-Zhan wanted to start the day with a dunk, but Wade refused to do so, not retreating half a step.

The referee blows the whistle.

Wade blocked the foul.

The big cheeks are a bit swollen, and the soles of labor and capital are about to spark. You tell me it was my blocking foul?

I want to get the MVP in Azhan today, there will be preferential treatment, okay!

At 2 minutes and 18 seconds of the first quarter, A-Zhan switched defenses and called Finley's thug foul.

At 3 minutes and 49 seconds of the first quarter, Ao Pang's defense timed out for three seconds and the block was invalidated.

At 5 minutes and 20 seconds of the first quarter, Wade encountered the "Emperor's New Clothes" while defending Azhan.

At 4 minutes and 39 seconds of the second quarter, Wade defended and pushed, fouled, and argued loudly with the referee, but Mo Wen didn't stop him, and received another technical foul

The second quarter...

During the intermission, Wade's big cheeks bulged extra big today.

His jersey was exceptionally dry in this game, not because the outer jersey was dry, but the inner jersey did not absorb a few drops of sweat.

He also played a lot of off-the-ball games, but in today's game, he made 10 fouls in 4 minutes of playing, which is the first time he has experienced it.

Ajan is like the death field. When he has the ball, it is a foul to move in that field.

How can this be prevented?
Ajan also spent halftime breaking the goal Wade set for him before the game.

14 free throws and 22 points in the half.

Wade couldn't take it anymore, and looked aggrieved at Mo Wen who hadn't received a foul yet.

"Mo, they bully people!"

　This... should be from last night, tonight, and I will make it up tomorrow
