Chapter 61 Break up friendship with you if you don't pass it on
"Oh, no, please don't do this."
Smith exclaimed.
"No, how could this happen? How could this be possible?"
Buckley.
"I hope Zhang is okay. If he is injured at this time, the Rockets will be completely finished."
Smith.
"Although it is cruel, I can tell you that he was definitely injured, and the injury was not serious. I have had a similar experience."
Buckley said.
"How the hell could this happen?"
Sun Zhengping slammed the table violently, and was so angry that he forgot that he was a host and completely assumed the role of a fan. If he used foul language during the show, this month's bonus would definitely be ruined.
"This Bowen is really dirty. He didn't tell Tracy McGrady, kicked Shane Battier in the crotch, and now hurts Zhang Zhiyuan's knee. It's really a heap of crimes."
Zhang Lili criticized angrily.
"Not only that, Carter alone was injured three times by him, and the other players combined can't be counted on one hand."
Sun Zhengping said angrily.
"Dog Bowen."
"Son of a bitch."
"******"
Countless Rockets fans vomited sweet things from their mouths, and some even broke things to vent their anger.
On the court, when the doctors of both teams entered the court, Bowen could not even stand up, so he was carried back to the locker room by two players, one on each side.
But Rockets fans were not happy because the force was reciprocal. The more serious Bowen's injury was, the worse Zhang Zhiyuan's situation was.
Zhang Zhiyuan was a little better. He stood up and even took two steps. However, he was obviously awkward when walking, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.
He is really in pain. If he loses the game because of this, it will be really unlucky for him to go to his grandma's house.
At this moment, he regretted it. If he had known better, he shouldn't have played Heartbeat. He would have spent more hatred and used King of the End to open up the score early and securely win the game.
He was always on guard against Bowen tiptoeing, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually attack his knee.
Zhang Zhiyuan was quite helpless.
"You can no longer play. It is initially estimated that the injury is to the anterior cruciate ligament."
The team doctor said.
These words directly chilled the hearts of the rest of the Rockets. Without Zhang Zhiyuan, they had no confidence in killing their opponent in 6 seconds. That would be too difficult.
"Not that much."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
Although the knee was still very painful, Zhang Zhiyuan felt that he could hold it in while gritting his teeth, and it was impossible to injure the ligaments.
"Zhang, you can't be careless. This is related to your career. Maybe the injury is not serious now and you can recover after a few days of rest. But if you continue to exercise intensely or fight, the injury will worsen rapidly."
The team doctor explained.
It's just a slight sprain of the ligament, and it will be fine after a few days of rest. But if you play with the injury, it may cause secondary injuries such as ligament tear or rupture.
A tear or rupture will require surgery, and there is a risk that the knee will be completely scrapped.
"Zhang, you go for treatment and leave the rest to us."
Hearing that this was related to Zhang Zhiyuan's career, Van Gundy said helplessly.
"For the sake of your career, take a rest."
Yao Ming also persuaded him. He was afraid that Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to win too much and risk his future. The risk was too great and not worth it.
"If I lose, I won't have a career."
Zhang Zhiyuan said with a wry smile, he also shouldered the bet.
"Fucking bullshit bet, as long as you don't quit, who can force you?"
Yao Ming said emotionally.
"I will push myself."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
He only played for 6 seconds, so he felt that it shouldn't be as exaggerated as the team doctor said.
He just needs to go out there, catch the ball, take the shot, and that's it.
More importantly, he doesn't want to quit the NBA, nor does he want to cheat and break his promise, which would be too embarrassing.
"Zhang, please believe in your teammates. They will do their best to help you win this game."
Van Gundy said.
"I prefer to take the future into my own hands."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"I'm the coach and I don't allow you to play."
Van Gundy.
"I don't care who you are, I have to play today, I have to hit the buzzer beater, no one can fucking ruin my future, I don't allow myself to lose."
Zhang Zhiyuan roared at Van Gundy.
His attitude must be tough, otherwise there is really nothing he can do if Van Gundy exercises his power as a coach.
"What happened, Zhang and Van Gundy had a fierce argument."
Smith said.
"Zhang wants to play with injuries, but Van Gundy won't allow it. This time I support Van Gundy. Zhang can't be too willful. Van Gundy is doing it for his own good."
Buckley said.
"He wants to win too much, he has too much on his back, and he needs to prove himself."
Both Smith and Barkley can understand Zhang Zhiyuan's mood, after all, they have both been players.
Hearing their explanations, the Rockets fans in front of the TV were so moved that they burst into tears.
It is said that Kobe has a strong desire to win. At this moment, they discovered that Zhang Zhiyuan’s desire to win is no weaker than Kobe’s.
"Let's forget it."
Sun Zhengping said.
"But what about the bet? Proud people often take their promises very seriously."
Zhang Lili said.
"this......."
Sun Zhengping was speechless.
Ordinary people may bow their heads for the sake of huge benefits, apologize to the fans, and just say that they were young and immature and said the wrong thing.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan is obviously not this kind of person.
The fans in front of the TV were in a dilemma. They didn't know whether they should support Zhang Zhiyuan to play despite his injury.
At the scene, Zhang Zhiyuan was still working hard.
He said to Yao Ming: "If you were injured at this moment, would you leave the game?"
"I can."
Yao Ming lied guiltily.
"fart."
Zhang Zhiyuan complained that he remembered clearly that Yao Ming continued to play with the injury after being hit by Kobe Bryant on his knee during the 2008-09 regular season.
Not to mention it's the last 6 seconds of the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker.
Will Yao Ming retire in this case? What a joke.
"Have you discussed it? The game needs to continue."
The referee came over to ask. In fact, he had been here for a while, but he didn't want to be disturbed.
But now the Rockets don't have a decision, and the game can't drag on forever.
"We've agreed, I'll continue fighting."
After speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan walked to the court without giving Van Gundy a chance to refute.
"No, I am the coach and I will not allow you to play."
Van Gundy said.
Zhang Zhiyuan became angry when he heard this and glared at Van Gundy fiercely.
Yao Ming sighed inwardly when he saw this, and he said: "Jeff, why don't you let him give it a try, you should be able to understand his mood."
"Coach, let Zhang go up."
The rest of the Rockets were also moved by Zhang Zhiyuan and interceded for him one after another.
Faced with everyone's intercession, Van Gundy finally compromised.
"I'll give you another 20 seconds to plan your tactics."
The referee said.
Then Van Gundy quickly arranged the tactics. He asked Zhang Zhiyuan to stand still on the outside and wait for his teammates to pass the ball.
At the same time, Yao Ming was arranged to catch the ball inside and shoot.
This is obviously asking Zhang Zhiyuan to make up the numbers. How can he have a chance to receive the pass without running?
Zhang Zhiyuan did not object, but after coming on the field, Zhang Zhiyuan leaned into Yao Ming's ear and threatened: "It makes no sense to shoot two points to equalize. We can't beat the Spurs in overtime. So when you receive the ball later, you must pass it to me, otherwise
I will break off all relations with you from now on, and I will do what I say."
When Yao Ming heard this, he immediately put on a mask of pain.
On the one hand, it was the coach's arrangement, and on the other hand, it was Zhang Zhiyuan's threat to break off the relationship. Yao Ming just wanted to say one thing, it's hard to be a human being.
"Trust me, when have I ever let you down?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was still hesitant about Yao Ming and wanted to continue persuading him, but unfortunately he ran out of time.
The referee's whistle blew, Hayes was already preparing to serve, and Yao Ming ran to the basket.
"He actually played with an injury, so I applaud his spirit."
Smith said.
"Even if you are on the court, it would be too difficult to kill your opponent in this situation."
Buckley said.
His words are also the voice of Rockets fans.
Is it possible to make a buzzer beater with an injury?
Hayes served, and he threw it to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming received the pass against Duncan. He had a shooting position. As long as he took the shot, he had a high chance of scoring two points.
But he hesitated because he saw Zhang Zhiyuan running.
"Sure, why don't you vote?"
Zhang Lili was anxious to death.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Yao Ming passing the ball, and immediately screamed: "Why are you passing the ball at this time..."
The ball reached Zhang Zhiyuan's hands, and he actually threw Ginobili away with an injured leg.
This was beyond everyone's expectation.
There were 2 seconds left on the clock, but Zhang Zhiyuan did not take a shot. He was still delaying, not giving the Spurs a chance to counterattack.
hiss......
Everyone was shocked by his calmness. They didn't know how big a heart it took to be so calm at such a time.
Ginobili pounced on him, but he stared at the time board.
1 second left.
Zhang Zhiyuan jumped up and took action.
【Second Truth·Must hit the target.】
Zhang Zhiyuan fell to the ground again, and the basketball drew an arc and accurately fell into the basket.
The time is cleared and the game is over.
111 to 110, the Rockets won the tiebreaker and advanced to the finals.
The fans at the scene were speechless and stunned.
They couldn't believe that there would be such a result.
Looking at Zhang Zhiyuan lying on the ground, they were both respectful and afraid.
"Oh...it's in."
Alston jumped on Yao Ming.
"Won."
The players on the Rockets bench jumped to their feet, and some even rushed to the players on the court to celebrate.
Duncan closed his eyes, Parker shed tears, and Ginobili fell to the ground lost...
"Mader did a great job on Farke, a buzzer beater, a buzzer beater, a buzzer beater in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference finals, a buzzer beater with an injury, who else, who else can achieve such a great feat?"
Smith jumped up from his seat, yelling.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it. This guy created a miracle. This guy risked everything and then created a miracle. Playing with injuries and risking his career, he is such a fucking ruthless person."
Buckley praised him repeatedly.
"Oh... I scored, a three-pointer. This is the most exciting goal in this century, bar none..."
Sun Zhengping shouted excitedly.
"Damn it, young people today."
Zhang Lili was impressed by Zhang Zhiyuan's courage and had nothing to say.
