CHAPTER 90: THIS ONE'S 4 U
"Good shot!!"
"Oh my God! This cap is amazing! ”
"Chen, good job!!"
On the 76ers bench, all the players jumped up from their seats almost at the same time, waving the towels in their hands wildly, and constantly applauding Chen Mu's cap.
On the court, the 76ers noticed something unusual.
"Uh...... Ahh......hh ”
Under the team's basket, Chen Mu, who had just completed an earth-shattering block, fell to the ground for some reason, grabbed his calves with both hands, and curled up unnaturally with his legs and feet.
Chen Mu kept whispering, his jersey was soaked with sweat, and his expression looked very painful.
"It's cramps!"
Weber, who was closest to Chen Mu, saw something strange at the first time, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about Chen Mu's situation.
"Legs...... My leg...... Uh......"
Chen Mu couldn't say a complete sentence in pain, and his voice was constantly trembling.
If it was said that when he was on the verge of cramping before, Chen Mu could still rely on perseverance and fighting spirit to persist and fight against that kind of pain.
So when his legs really began to cramp and the pain of drilling his heart hit, even if Chen Mu had an iron heart, he couldn't keep calm.
Although the pain of cramps is short, it is intense and sharp, and when the calf cramps, it seems that someone is constantly stirring their tendons with a sharp knife, and the violent pain explosion makes people powerless to resist, and no matter how strong the iron man is, he can't support it.
This pain and the pain of the broken foot can be counted together and can be called the two major severe pains on the basketball court.
Weber's cry was in his ears, but Chen Mu couldn't respond, only felt that his legs were completely out of control in pain, and he involuntarily curled up together, making him almost faint.
On the NBA court, it's not as casual as on the field on weekdays, just find a teammate to help top the soles of your feet and straighten your hamstrings.
In order to prevent inaccurate judgment and indiscriminate treatment of sequelae, every injury of the players needs to be confirmed by the team doctor in time before they can be dealt with accordingly.
Iverson immediately called a timeout to the referee, and Iguodala made a substitution to Cheeks, who was staring at Chen Mu worriedly on the bench.
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the game was suspended, and the 76ers team doctor immediately rushed into the arena, with various diagnostic and emergency treatment tools, and began to judge Chen Mu's injury.
"It's not a big problem, it's a cramp."
After some inspection, the team doctor made a judgment, and all the 76ers players and staff on and off the court breathed a sigh of relief.
After a simple emergency treatment, the team doctor took Chen Mu back to the bench, and then began to treat Chen Mu professionally.
The timeout was about to end, and with one less person on the court, Cheeks reluctantly replaced Hunter and the game resumed.
"You're working too hard."
After some treatment, the team doctor began to massage Chen Mu's calf muscles, and said, "I should have felt it before the cramps, I saw that your movements were already unnatural after running and jumping a few times before." ”
"Hmm...... It was a little painful at the time. Chen Mu nodded.
"Something hurts? How many years have you been playing basketball? Five years? Decade? ”
The team doctor glared at Chen Mu reproachfully, and continued: "It's not too old, the ball age is not short, right?" What kind of pain might trigger cramps, you should know very well! I was about to cramp, so I immediately signaled to Mr. Cheeks to come down early and get treatment, maybe I could catch the last two minutes of the game! ”
"Wait...... What did you say? ”
Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this, bent down and grabbed the team doctor's hands and said, "You mean, I can't play again in this game??" ”
"Nonsense!"
The team doctor shook his hand angrily, shook off Chen Mu's "iron tongs", and continued: "There are less than two minutes left in the game, and your situation can't be handled in a few minutes!" ”
"No...... This is not good, this is absolutely not good! ”
Chen Mu's head shook like a rattle, and he said loudly: "We are still behind, the team needs me, and I still have to fight!" ”
"Come on." The team doctor insisted: "Still fighting? I'm telling you, in two minutes, you won't even be able to walk on your own! ”
"I ......"
Chen Mu was very unwilling in his heart, his teeth were clenched, he raised his eyes to look at the situation on the field, and he wished that he could have some kind of ability, recover all his physical strength in an instant, and immediately go to the field to fight.
After the timeout, because Jamison's offensive basket was covered by Chen Mu, the Wizards' ball failed to touch the basket within the 24-second offensive time limit, and the ball returned to the 76ers' side.
I don't know if it was inspired by Chen Mu's enthusiasm, the 76ers players seemed to leave all their fatigue behind, and after some cooperation, Iverson suddenly had an idea, a backhand straight plug, and sent the ball to Hunter, who was completely empty under the basket, who roared and dunked to score.
There are still 3 points left!
"Chen, I understand your feelings."
Hearing the conversation between Chen Mu and the team doctor, Cheeks spoke: "But the team doctor is right, I can't let you play again in this game." ”
"But ......"
Chen Mu wanted to argue a few words, but Cheeks waved his hand and frowned: "I'm not talking to you about conditions, this is my tactical arrangement as the commander-in-chief, it's an order!" ”
Under the massage and treatment of the team doctor, the pain in Chen Mu's leg continued to decrease, but the uneasiness in his heart gradually increased.
On the court, Hunter, who finally made his reappearance, looked full of energy, not only using his height on the defensive end to interfere with Haywood's rebound, but also scoring consecutive points on the offensive end.
After Webber held the ball on the strong side, he attracted the Wizards' two-man package, and Iverson, who got the gap, burst into the inside, Webber handed the ball away, and the Wizards' Haywood immediately stepped forward to make up for the defense, and Iverson once again sent a wonderful pass.
Under the basket, Hunter catches the ball, jumps high as if venting, and smashes the basketball into the basket.
"Good Ball !!"
There was jubilation on the 76ers bench, and with this ball, the team was only 1 point behind, and the score could be overtaken at any time!
In fact, since the remaining 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Wizards have only Jamison scored 4 points with the basket and the home team has been in a considerable scoring drought.
However, the 76ers are soaring, winning consecutive offenses, Webber is almost rejuvenated, and no one can stop him in the low post, Iverson and Korver have also begun to pick up, and Hunter has even broken out with rare scoring**.
95-96, after a wave of 10-4 small **, the 76ers trailed by only one point on the road.
On the court, after dunking, Hunter glared at Heywood viciously, the taciturn big man had almost never shown such a fierce expression, and his expression seemed to be about to swallow Heywood alive.
When returning to the defense, Hunter passed by the bench, seemingly inadvertently stretched out his hand, gave a thumbs up to Chen Mu, who was staring at him, and then patted his chest again, giving Chen Mu a firm look.
"You've done a great job, I'll do the rest!"
Chen Mu knew that what Hunter wanted to say must be this sentence.
At the far end of the pitch, Iguodala kept his eyes fixed on Jamison, constantly running back and forth to interfere, no matter how much the latter bobbed.
Webber also returned to the basket, although he was already out of breath and seemed to be on the ground at any moment, but there was also a rare fighting spirit in his eyes, gritting his teeth and persevering, and constantly fighting against Jeffries.
Korver, on the weak side, although he has a calm face, his defensive steps are obviously a little more active than usual, speed, bounce, strength, agility, he is not dominant in all aspects, and Butler has no way to entangle him, and it is very difficult to connect the ball.
yes, even if I don't play, aren't there still them?
Even if there was no "76er" like me in the original timeline, wouldn't they still be fighting one battle after another?
Even if I leave the court for a while and can't fight with them to the end, will I definitely lose the game?
“DEFENSE!!!”
Feeling the fighting spirit of his teammates, Chen Mu was also infected by this atmosphere, and suddenly put his hands together at his mouth and shouted, causing the team doctor who was still massaging him almost scared.
On the bench, the rest of the players also looked sideways, seeing the sincere and persistent look in Chen Mu's eyes, they were all a little touched, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all followed Chen Mu's actions and began to chant in unison.
“DEFENSE!”
“DEFENSE!”
“DEFENSE!!”
The shouts of the whole team of the 76ers continued, which soon caused a "counterattack" from the fans in the stadium, and a huge wave of sound hit, which immediately completely drowned out the shouts of more than ten people.
But even so, the players did not give up and were still cheering for their teammates.
The game time has come to the last minute, the 76ers defense is excellent, Arenas has no passing route, and has no choice but to pull up the jumper.
I don't know if it was a decline in physical strength, or if Iverson's full force interfered with the effect, and this shot missed the shot.
Although he was not on the court, Chen Mu's rebounding point was still flickering in front of him, how much he wanted to help Hunter grab this rebound, but the reality was that Hunter's card position was in the wrong direction.
The basketball smashed into the hoop and flew high into the air towards the far end of Hunter's position.
Under the basket, Jeffries has gotten rid of Webb's card position and waited below the best landing point, Chen Mu was very anxious, seeing that the rebound was about to be snatched away by Jeffries.
At this moment, a thin figure suddenly cut in from outside the three-point line, rushed to the inside line like a bolt of lightning, stepped down and jumped high behind Jeffries's side, and rushed into the air as if he was dying.
"Aaron !!"
Chen Mu was startled, only to see that the thin figure of only 183 centimeters seemed to have grown taller in an instant at this time, rising from a group of big men, stretching out his thin arms, and actually took off the rebound above everyone's heads.
"Fast Break ......!!!!"
After hitting the ground, Iverson's eyes spewed with fighting spirit and he roared and began to dribble.
Iguodala and Korver on the wings have started to get up to speed, but their free-handed runs are almost out of whack to keep up with Iverson's dribbling speed.
Easily past Arenas, Iverson sprinted to the frontcourt, jumped not far from the basket, and scored a rare one-handed dunk.
“……!”
The fans were shocked by Iverson's fighting spirit and speed, and the shouts instantly fell silent.
After landing on the ground, Iverson didn't roar, didn't have any celebratory actions, just turned around, looked at the bench with both eyes, stretched out his hand to point at Chen Mu, who was stunned, and then clenched his right hand into a fist and lightly tapped it twice on his chest.
"This goal is for you, bro."
Chen Mu seemed to feel that his nose was sour, and an emotion that had not appeared for a long time surged deep in his heart.
