Thanks to Da Pai's only one and Ricardo's reward and Qingxi Liuyun's big evaluation vote!

-

"Xido, Xido fell to the ground suddenly during the collision with Fabrizio. Xido looked a little serious, and his expression looked extremely painful." Charles Barkley stared closely at the basket and fell to the ground. Turkoglu said.

At this time, all the Magic fans were worried. The role of Turkoglu was very important for the Magic to catch up with only three points in the past few minutes.

It was Turkoglu who became the first organization core again, and Lin Sen, who had a waist injury, was liberated and became a pure shooter while relieving his waist injury a little bit.

"Craig!" Lin Sen yelled towards the sidelines. The expression on Turkoglu's face told him that things might be serious. Now the Magic's insiders can't count on the offensive end. For the Magic, it is undoubtedly worse.

Team doctor Craig Minzer immediately ran onto the field with a medical kit after the referee signaled. Stan Van Gundy also stood on the sidelines and stretched his neck, muttering softly: "Don't worry, don't worry .”

"It seems that the situation is indeed serious. Orlando's players are all surrounded by Hedo. If Hedo is really unable to play, then Orlando wants to leave this finals trip with a high head instead of a tragic one. It's very difficult." Kenny Smith was also worried about Turkoglu, and the live director immediately played back.

"From the replay, Fabrizio didn't make any foul moves. Wood's ground pass was also very good, and Hedo had no problem cutting in with the screen. Fabrizio's supplementary defense was in place. But Hedo couldn't contain himself, their knees hit each other, and that was the problem."

In Kenny Smith’s voice, team doctor Craig Minzer turned his head to Howard and Milicic who were standing and said, “Dwight, Darko, please help me carefully lift Xido up. Serious. His knee ligaments should be torn, and he needs to be sent to the hospital for examination immediately."

Turkoglu, who was lying on the floor, also knew that the pain in his knee should be serious, but he closed his eyes in frustration after hearing what the team doctor said. If it was really a tear in the knee ligament, the least It will take two or three weeks to recover, which means that he will miss the following games in the finals.

Participating in a conference final is a rare opportunity for most players, let alone the finals with a larger stage.Although the possibility of the Magic defeating the Spurs to win the championship is pitifully small, leaving with an injury is completely different from leaving after fighting to the end.

What's more, there are less than 5 minutes before the end of the game. The Magic is only three points behind and is likely to complete the reversal. Turkoglu is very unwilling.

Looking at Turkoglu with his eyes tightly closed, Lin Sen also felt very uncomfortable. When he entered the NBA, he saw those who had no choice but to leave the court due to injuries.

"Xidu, rest well, we still have a chance, I'll see you after the game!" Lin Sen said softly, holding Turkoglu's hand.

"The situation is really serious. Dwight and Darko helped Hedo to leave. According to the news, Hedo may have torn his knee ligament. If this is the case, then for Orlando this trip to the Finals They will lose Hedo.

For Orlando, Hedo is not only an all-around striker averaging 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, but also a player who can act as a team organizer, contribute stable outside firepower to the team, and be reliable at critical moments.Hope there is good news after Xidu's inspection. "Kenny Smith said.

Stan Van Gundy explained a few words, and with the help of the staff, Turkoglu was put on a stretcher and rushed to the local hospital in San Antonio by ambulance for examination and treatment.

Under such circumstances, Stan Van Gundy had to be replaced by Grant Hill. This accident also made more people not believe that Orlando would perform miracles.

"The game restarted. How much impact Hedo, who was injured and left the field, will have on Orlando, I guess we will see the outcome soon. Wood, who has been a shooter and a transfer station in the second half, should also have to stand up again."

"Kenny, you're right, but I'm also worried about Wood's injury. I hope everything goes well." Barkley looked at Lin Sen on the field with some concern.

Tony Parker took over Oberto's serve and quickly dribbled the ball across the half. Turkoglu's injury leaving the field was something they didn't want to see, but it has to be said that Turkoglu's departure was a big deal for the Spurs. One plus.

In the second half, the Magic adopted more zone defenses, and Lin Sen's waist injury can also reduce the movement in one-on-one defense under such a defensive formation.

At the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, the big screen clearly showed that the score was 7:89, and the Magic in the away game fell behind the Spurs at home by only 92 points.

"Orlando still uses zone defense!"

Accompanied by Kenny Smith's voice, Tony Parker changed direction and cut directly from Lin Sen's area before Lin Sen could move in place.

"Wood's speed has obviously had an impact. Especially the lateral movement, Tony cut in directly, facing Darko's supplementary defense!"

Tony Parker looked at Darko Milicic who was jumping towards him, and directly threw a high throw.

"Damn!" Milicic complained in a low voice.He was just a little bit close to closing the ball, but he was a little bit short of it and he didn't make it.

But Milicic quickly smiled. Although he failed to block Parker's throw, Parker's throw did not hit.

Howard grabbed the defensive rebound directly, and Oberto didn't dare to steal the ball with his outstretched elbows.

"It's a pity. TP's throw shot hit the basket, and Orlando turned from defense to offense. This is also a test. Although Orlando has had situations where Xidu was not on the court in the past, it is definitely not the case now."

With Turkoglu absent, the task of dribbling returned to Lin Sen.

Fortunately, the Spurs did not press hard, so Lin Sen could still dribble the ball calmly.

"Wood's dribble height is really high, let's see how Orlando is going to play this offense."

Lin Sen's dribbling height gradually decreased, and such a gradual lowering of the body's center of gravity and a slow bow made the pain in Lin Sen's waist less severe than when he bowed directly.

When Lin Sen came to the frontcourt, the height of his dribble was no different than usual.

Tony Parker watched Lin Sen come to the frontcourt and didn't push forward. After all, Lin Sen basically played the role of shooter in the second half.

Lin Sen observed the positions of his teammates, Howard was closely watched by Duncan, and Milicic was watched by Oberto.

In front of Grant Hill was Bruce Bowen, and in front of Eddie Jones was Brent Barry.

Turkoglu's just injury and leaving the field is a huge blow to the morale of the Magic. The ability to hit this ball is undoubtedly the best way to stabilize the situation.Especially at the moment it is only three points away.

Lin Sen looked at Milicic on the inside line, and after the two looked at each other, they understood each other's thoughts.

Milicic moved directly from the inside line to one step inside the three-point line, and Lin Sen also accelerated when Milicic raised it.

Although the waist injury caused Lin Sen to gasp in pain at the moment of starting, the pain seemed to disappear after starting, but Lin Sen's speed was slower, which also gave Tony Parker a chance .

However, Lin Sen didn't intend to use Milicic's cover to break through, but directly passed the ball to Milicic with a hand-to-hand pass.

Oberto, who was pulled out to defend, was originally planning to defend Lin Sen.When he saw Milicic catch the ball, he immediately jumped on it, but Lin Sen directly took Oberto as a cover for him, and just used Oberto to get out of Tony Parker's pursuit.

"Wood came back, the top of the arc was in a vacuum, Darko passed the ball!" Barkley shouted.

Milicic, who raised the ball up, threw the ball behind his head with both hands. At this time, Parker also realized that Linsen had returned to the three-point line and immediately moved away from Oberto's body and rushed towards Linsen.

Although Parker is fast.But Lin Sen's shooting speed did not let Parker's speed in the slightest.

Before Parker pounced, Lin Sen looked at the basket in the distance and flicked the ball away.

"Wood made a three-pointer, and TP pounced on it. If the ball hits, Orlando will tie the score!" Kenny Smith said loudly.

The Spurs fans booed loudly and tried to stop the goal, but the ball arced and headed into the basket.

"A three-pointer, a three-pointer! Wood's three-pointer helped Orlando tie the score. Greg called a stop directly, he is still the guy who is extremely cautious, haha!" Barkley looked at Vicky who called timeout and smiled. Said.

"After Greg's timeout, it is estimated that Manu will play. His lethality is a test for Orlando's defense, but it is not easy for Orlando to tie the score. I think this is a kind of victory." Ken Ni Smith answered.

Stan Van Gundy, who lost Turkoglu, naturally knew that Ginobili, who had been resting for a long time, would definitely play. It was Ginobili's offensive in the second quarter that allowed the Spurs to expand their lead. Once Ginobili played It's a huge test for the Magic's defense.

Howard and Milicic have not rested for 1 minute since the second half.Their existence also made the Magic's pursuit of points so smooth. Stan Van Gundy glanced at the Spurs bench and decided to replace Milicic first, let Milicic rest first, and then take turns with Howard to rest.

"Chris, replace Darko, Dwight, you need to pay attention to your fouls, don't take off easily, even if you are scored, don't take off. You have committed four fouls." Stan Van Gundy pointed to Howard and said.

"I will!" Howard nodded heavily.

"Kelana, you replace Eddie, you need to help Wood on the defensive end!"

Azubuike looked at Stan Van Gundy and nodded: "Coach, I will."

With the referee's whistle, the players of both sides re-entered the field.

"Manu really played. Fabrizio was replaced by Robert, and Orlando replaced Darko and Eddie with Chris and rookie Kelanna." Kenny Smith watched the game Said the team member.

Ginobili, who had just played, took the ball directly, and the rookie Azubuike immediately pushed forward.

"Rookie Kelanna's defense is good." Barkley praised Azubuike's defense.

However, Ginobili not only did not call a screen but signaled that he wanted to play singles, but Azubuike's defense in the first few seconds also gave him confidence.

However, Jiang is still old and hot, and Ginobili's breakthrough still tore through Azubuike's defense.

It's almost a stumbling way of breakthrough. If you haven't seen it, you will think that Ginobili's breakthrough is terrible, but this is exactly his way of breakthrough.

Lin Sen saw that Ginobili broke through Azubuike's defense and immediately chose to defend. However, Ginobili made a change of direction and let Lin Sen's supplementary defense. Lin Sen's speed was affected and he could only watch helplessly. With Ginobili rushed inside.

"Manu rushed to the basket, and Dwight guarded the last line of defense!" Kenny Smith said, looking at Howard with his arms raised high.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Stan Van Gundy yelled at the court.

Facing a breakthrough master like Ginobili.Howard's supplementary defense is likely to be ineffective and he will also lose fouls.

Howard himself knew Stan Van Gundy's concerns, so he raised his arms high to maintain his defensive cylinder.

Ginobili easily gave way to Howard and sent the ball into the basket. Stan Van Gundy was relieved to see Ginobili's goal.

"Dwight didn't dare to rush too hard at all. The four fouls on his back really affected his defensive enthusiasm. What's more, he has played for almost 10 minutes in a row since the second half, and his physical fitness has also been greatly affected." Kenny Smith said so.

After finally tying up the point difference, it became two points behind again.At this point in the game, every point counts, and the Spurs fans cheered for Ginobili.

Lin Sen took Howard's serve and slowly dribbled the ball forward, and the AT&T Center booed again.

This time, Parker did not let go of Lin Sen, but pressed Lin Sen after halftime, and at the same time hit Lin Sen with his own body.

Although Parker was not the right side of the impact, Lin Sen still felt a bit of pain. Controlling the ball, Lin Sen moved away from Parker's body.Parker stuck to Lin Sen again.

Instead of entangled with Parker, Lin Sen passed the ball directly to Azubuike who came up to meet him. Seeing Lin Sen passing the ball, Parker stepped aside and retreated as Lin Sen advanced.

Just as he was approaching the three-point line, without the ball, Lin Sen made a half-turn and rushed to the top of the arc. The sudden acceleration made Tony Parker nervous.

Azubuike passed the ball to Linsen immediately, and Parker also stood in front of Linsen again when Linsen received the ball.

After Lin Sen observed Duncan's position defending Howard, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

However, Lin Sen jumped up directly, and Parker jumped up subconsciously.The right hand is raised high.

"Wood shot directly? This ball is really... oh, it's not a shot but a pass! Dwight!" Kenny Smith's voice turned and the ball flew in the air and went straight to the right side of the basket.

At this time, Duncan also realized that Linsen was not shooting but passing the ball. He immediately turned around but still took a slow shot. The ball flew over his head and went straight behind him.

Howard, who was behind Duncan, jumped up on the spot as if sitting on a lift, caught Linsen's pass with both hands firmly and smashed the ball to the basket.

"Beautiful alley-oop, Wood and Dwight's direct cooperation, Orlando tied the score again. Tonight's Orlando told the Spurs at the Spurs' home court that cockroaches are not only in Texas. Orlando in Florida also has them." Barkley smiled. Said.

Howard and Lin Sen celebrated with a high-five, and ran forward with big strides. However, the good times didn't last long. Howard, who had just completed an alley-oop in the next round and was in a good mood, couldn't laugh.

"**!" Stan Van Gundy swung his right hand fiercely, and Howard on the court held his head in his hands and said to the referee with annoyed expression: "I didn't hit the thug this time."

"Manu made a contribution. He went directly to Dwight's arms. Dwight couldn't get out of the way. Now Orlando is really in big trouble. Dwight fouled five times and Stan will definitely not let him stay on the court. It's gone." Kenny Smith looked towards the sidelines.

Not long after sitting down, Milicic threw a big towel on the floor and stood up directly: "Dako, although you only have three fouls, you should pay attention, we need you." Van Gundy pulled Milicic and said .

"I can't blame Dwight. I can only say that Manu is too treacherous. Look at Greg's smile, it is obvious that he arranged it on purpose." Barkley said a little unhappy.

Standing on the free throw line, Ginobili hit the first free throw steadily, and Howard walked to the sidelines with his head down.

Howard smiled bitterly and gave Milicic a high-five, then took a big towel and covered his head and sat on the bench. He also knew that five fouls at this time would have a big impact on the Magic, especially Milicic did not How to rest Turkoglu is still unable to play.

"Manu made two free throws, and San Antonio took the lead again by two points. Now that Dwight is also playing, can Orlando continue on the way of the Florida cockroaches?" Kenny Smith said, looking at Lin Sen who was dribbling.

"Dako, set a screen for me, and then get ready to grab a rebound!" Lin Sen whispered to Milicic, Milicic nodded and then quickly ran forward.

Although Tony Parker didn't press Linsen as soon as halftime passed, he did press when Linsen was two steps away from the three-point line.

Lin Sen, who had been prepared for a long time, gave way to Parker's pressing. At the same time, Milicic ran out on the inside, and Robert Horry, who was defending Milicic, followed immediately.

"Darkola comes out as a cover!" Kenny Smith shouted as he watched Milicic pull out.

Lin Sen accelerated to the right of Parker, and Parker immediately retreated.

Bang!

Parker directly bumped into Milicic's body, Lin Sen slapped the ball, and at the same time slid to the left to completely let Parker's defense go.

Robert Horry, who was guarding Milicic, saw this scene and immediately dropped Milicic and rushed towards Lin Sen, and Lin Sen also jumped up after sliding.

"Wood took off from outside the three-point line again, and Robert dropped Darko and jumped on it." Barkley shouted.

Lin Sen didn't expect that Huo Li would pounce so timely, and he leaned back to avoid Huo Li.

"Wood didn't pass the ball, but he resolutely chose to shoot and fade back for a three-pointer!" Kenny Smith said while looking at Lin Sen in the air.

Horry stretched his arms as far as he could but still couldn't block Linsen. The ball jumped high over Horry's head and flew to the basket in the distance.

"Wood, Wood, or Wood, for the second consecutive three-pointer, Orlando overtook the score. At this moment, there are three minutes and 30 seconds before the end of the game. Orlando has a good chance to win the first victory of the finals!"

Barkley shouted, and Linsen held up the three-point gesture amid the boos. (To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.)
