Chapter 399: Thunder Crisis
Ibaka is shaken to the ground by Parker for the second time!
And this time he fell even worse!
Compared to the first time, Ibaka was even more unlucky this time, because he knew that his ankle was really wrong this time!
Unlike the first time he was shaken, when he only felt some discomfort in his ankle, this time Ibaka clearly felt a tingling sensation in his right ankle.
This kind of stinging feeling is definitely not a good thing, and if you don't get it right, you will probably be suspended.
Ibaka tried to stand up, but as soon as he pushed himself, he realized that he couldn't stand up at all.
It hurts so much! The ankle of his right foot was as if he had been hit hard with a hammer, and it hurt fiercely.
"Sergi!" The Thunder people here also saw that something was wrong with their teammates, and Ibaka's situation was a bit serious.
Durant, who had blocked Parker, ran over as soon as possible, and he tried to lift Ibaka, but he didn't succeed, because as soon as Ibaka touched the ground with his right foot, he brought severe pain!
"Damn!" Ibaka didn't know if it was because of pain or anger, or because he was disappointed that he couldn't get up and couldn't participate in the race, and the guy just hammered the floor with his hands!
Hmm, in fact, Qin Yan really wants to remind this guy, this is your home field, don't knock on the floor so hard, if the floor is broken, it will be fun.
"Sergi, are you alright?" The others also gathered around, and Saflosha and Durant worked together to set up Ibaka, who was now only able to land on his left foot, and his right foot could not touch the ground at all.
"Team doctor! Doctor! "Westbrook directly summoned his own white-clothed priests, these guys don't know if they are unresponsive, such an obvious injury to the team members will not come up in advance, and they have to shout themselves, next time they do this, they must deduct the salaries of these priests!
The Thunder's team doctor came up on a stretcher, in fact, Westbrook wronged them, not because they didn't want to come up, but because the team didn't call a timeout, they didn't come up well.
It just so happened that because Durant covered Parker's layup, it was a brief timeout.
When the white-clad priests of Thunder came up, they found that Ibaka was seriously injured.
"Are you okay? Speak! ”
After these white-clad priests used tricks such as primary blood recovery, primary blood recovery, and primary physical recovery for Ibaka, they found that it still had no effect, so these guys were a little annoyed and angry, and motioned to Durant and Safrosa to put Ibaka on a stretcher.
"Now, is it okay?" The leading doctor asked Ibaka.
"......" Ibaka was speechless for a while, this group of team doctors, who is the wounded in the end, if I know that I can't do it, what do you want this team doctor to do?
However, the team doctor is not exactly a waste, after some examination, the team doctor came to the conclusion that Ibaka is out of play, at least this game is out of play, as for how long the injury will be out of action, it still needs to look at the detailed injury report.
The only good news now is that, after preliminary judgment, Ibaka's injury should not have hurt the bones, but only the tendons and veins were twisted.
Ibaka was carried down, and there was no way to do it, he was destined to not be able to play in this game, so he could only be carried down.
But then there will be a big crisis for the Thunder!
The crisis of the Thunder is their inside line, and there is no one!!
After Ibaka went down, the Thunder's interior line suddenly opened a big hole, and now no one can top the gap in the Thunder's interior line, and Perkins alone is definitely not enough.
The Thunder team hurriedly called a timeout, this time it's a big trouble, this kind of trouble is terrible! Even if Ibaka is not seriously injured, they will have to face the embarrassing scene of no one on the inside.
Coach Brooks is a little big now, Ibaka didn't get injured early, he didn't get injured late, and it's a bit of a problem to get injured now.
"Kevin, you go up to the center in a moment, Kevin goes up to the big forward, and then Jeremy, you go up and play the small forward, Reggie goes up and scores, Russell doesn't change."
Don't be surprised, these two Kevin aren't Brooks coach slips of the tongue, the first referring to Durant and the second referring to Martin.
Martin is now playing the sixth man more time in the Thunder, as a sixth man, Martin's offense is absolutely fine, but his defense is really problematic.
So when they usually bring substitutes, the Thunder benches generally don't defend much, and a group of benches led by Martin and Lamb don't defend at all.
Who do you count on to defend?
The Thunder's bench survived on Martin and Lamb's three-pointers.
After all, you can't expect Bruison to come out alive and save the world? That's unrealistic, and it's better to expect Fisher to pull off another 0.4-second miracle.
Therefore, Coach Brooks can only give up the inside line and take all the firepower that the outside line can play, he hopes to use such a pure outside lineup to fight with the Spurs first, after all, it is only the second quarter now, and it is a good thing to fight first with the outside line.
At least he needs to leave enough inside for the second half.
With Ibaka gone, Perkins must not have a problem, otherwise the Thunder without an interior line will be miserable.
"Coach, five outside lines?"
Coach Brooks' set-up is not something that everyone can understand, giving up all the inside lines? That sounds incredible!
Even Durant felt a bit ridiculous, so he asked Brooks.
"Well, we don't have an inside line anymore, so now we have to rely on the outside line to open a way."
Brooks also knows that his tactic is a bit ridiculous, but there is no way, now the Thunder is in a hurry on the inside, and he can only rely on the outside to save the situation.
So, the Thunder had to use this somewhat extreme lineup.
"Kevin, I'm sure you can, the offensive command of the whole team depends on you." Brooks can only rely on Durant now, although Durant goes up to play center, but the team's organization still depends on Durant, Westbrook is too easy to heat up, and he is still a little unreliable.
Durant suddenly felt a lot of pressure and played center by himself? Although his height is enough (he himself knows that he is about 211 tall. But the weight is not enough, and if the center on the opposite side is forced to eat, I will not be able to stand it.
Moreover, the position of the big forward is Martin, how can he play the big forward with Martin's matchstick-like figure?
Alas, the lineup that I hope the Spurs will come up with for a while can be easier to deal with, otherwise, the Thunder will be in big trouble.
But when Durant came up with his teammates, he was very tragic to find that there was a super interior line on the opposite side!
Duncan and Whiteside's interior pairing, with the addition of Dio, Ginobili and Parker, the lethality of this lineup should definitely not be underestimated.
Especially Duncan, Whiteside, Dio, all three guys can play singles on the inside, and they play very well.
If this continues, the Thunder team will have a crisis.
