Adrian's injury assessment came out quickly. Although he fell into the crowd in that dangerous situation, the result was much better than expected. Because the crowd acted as a cushion, although he fell into
It looked very scary, but in fact Adrian did not suffer much impact. His foot was just twisted when he landed. Adrian felt a little pain, but it should not affect his performance.
Although he thinks so, the team doctor obviously does not have such an opinion.
"Adrian, you have to listen to me. Many players don't even realize they are injured when they are injured. It is for this reason that many injuries that were not serious have worsened." Regarding this, the team doctor looked very serious.
He did not rely on Adrian's personal knowledge, but checked it very carefully.
After completing the examination, the team doctor breathed a sigh of relief and then helped Adrian up.
"How's it going?" Phil Jackson asked immediately after the team doctor sent Adrian to the locker room and saw the team doctor return.
"The situation is not too bad." The team doctor said: "The injury is not very serious, it's just a sprain of the ankle. It's a hard injury and does not require surgery. The specific length of rest needs to wait for further examination, but his injury
There is definitely no way to play the game.”
After learning this result, Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it's not serious. As for rest, in Phil Jackson's opinion, the season is about to end, and it doesn't matter how long Adrian needs to rest. Although it seems
When Adrian left the field with the support of the team doctor, he guessed that the injury would not be too serious, but it would not require hospitalization or surgery. It would only need to be repaired. It was actually the most serious injury than he had imagined.
The bad situation is much better.
After learning this, Phil Jackson finally felt relieved.
Adrian left the court, and Bruce Bowen also returned to the locker room under the protection of Spurs staff. Also sent back to the locker room was Kwame Brown, who did something like that on the basketball court
Action, no matter what, Kwame Brown's ejection is inevitable.
At this time, on the sidelines, the referee and several linesmen gathered together to discuss the penalty decision for the Lakers and Spurs. This penalty made them feel very embarrassed, because from the picture, Bowen's action was
It's really a bit of a deliberate effort. It can be seen very clearly from the picture that after Adrian broke through Bowen, Bowen began to chase back, but in the process of chasing back, he accidentally tripped his teammate Robert Horry.
On his legs, such an unexpected incident caused Bowen to directly lose his center of gravity. In the process of instinctively jumping forward, his open hands happened to push Adrian who had just taken off.
This resulted in Adrian's injury.
Although it looks a bit weird, whoever sees it will be more inclined to think that it is an accident.
The referee was hesitant because of Bowen's actions and the consequences. If placed on other occasions, it would undoubtedly be a second-level flagrant foul, and he would definitely be suspended afterwards. As soon as the incident happened,
He was also prepared to make such a penalty, but after watching the video replay, the referee hesitated.
Although Bowen is well-known, the job of refereeing, at least on the surface, requires that the situation be addressed and not the person.
After a series of discussions between several referees, the final decision was finally made. Bruce Bowen committed a flagrant foul and was immediately ejected. At the same time, Kwame Brown's malicious pushing of Bruce Bowen seriously affected the order of the game.
, two technical fouls and the same expulsion.
Of course, such a penalty of 50 rebounds each could not satisfy either party. The entire AT&A Center Arena was filled with boos directed at the referee. Although the boos were loud, it made the referee look quite bad. However,
The referee has made up his mind. There is no problem with such a penalty. At most, Bowen will be very controversial. But at worst, after discussing the suspension later, he can stand with the Spurs. As long as he says, "
Considering that the Lakers players were quite excited at the time, they made the choice to eject Bowen off the court in order to ensure order on the field. This explanation should not embarrass anyone.
**Vicci also kept insisting to the referee that Bowen's action was an accident and an instinctive behavior after losing his center of gravity. But the referee could no longer pay attention to him, and **Vicchi had no hope of convincing the referee to change the decision. He just
Prepare to avoid Bowen's suspension as much as possible after this game.
The game finally started again after being interrupted for nearly half an hour. After the restart, the game turned into a one-sided massacre. The 20-point lead collapsed at the beginning of the fourth quarter. After a turmoil,
The Lakers lost their current core, Adrian, and their most solid inside pillar, Kwame Brown. In contrast, the Spurs only lost Bowen, who is completely dispensable to the current Lakers.
Bowen. This kind of unequal loss made the Lakers players even more upset. The game was monotonous and rough. Everyone chose to take action as soon as they got the ball. This kind of rough choice, among others
The shooting percentage is naturally conceivable. Without the core of controlling the ball, Odom does not have the ability and ambition to stand out. In terms of ability, he can only be regarded as a qualified second-in-command. But when it comes to leadership, he
It was completely unqualified. There was nothing he could do about the Lakers' chaotic situation.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson replaced all the main lineup. Although the Lakers were ten points behind, the situation had become extremely bad. There was no need to continue this kind of game. On the other hand, the Spurs were
Two minutes later, it was confirmed that the Lakers had no power to resist, and they also chose to replace the main lineup. Although in terms of physical strength, their main lineup had no problem at all, but since their opponents had chosen to give up resistance, this game still cannot be allowed.
The other party is too embarrassed.
The final score was 101:95, and the Lakers swallowed the bitter pill of defeat for the fourth time in the series!
In the locker room, Adrian also heard the thundering cheers from the AT&A Center Arena. The hands calmly placed on his knees shook slightly. At this moment, Adrian clearly realized that this was his first season.
