In the last five minutes of the game, Li Kaiming used a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line to pick up and throw it. However, what he didn't expect was that after the ball hit the ground, his left foot stepped on the defender's foot, and then due to bone conduction Because of this, he could clearly hear a crisp click sound coming from his ankle!
It’s over!
Li Kaiming's face turned pale instantly, and the psychological shock and physical pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead!
There was no pain at first, but after only a second or so, an unbearable pain came from the part that had been twisted just now, and Li Kaiming's facial features immediately twisted together.
hiss!
it hurts!
Li Kaiming was lying on the ground, his hands involuntarily covering the ankle of his left foot. His whole body was curled up because of pain. However, this action could not help him relieve the pain!
At this time, Sanders, who was standing next to the Wizards bench, was also dumbfounded. He called a timeout in a panic, and then the Wizards doctor next to the bench rushed over with a small medicine box!
The Wizards players also gathered around, and even head coach Sanders himself came over eagerly to check on the situation, with everyone's faces looking a little confused.
One second ago, the Wizards players were even dreaming about defeating the Big Three of the Heat and then entering the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals...
However, all this came to an abrupt end with Li Kaiming's injury, because they all knew that without Li Kaiming, this Wizards team is now likely to compete with the Cavaliers for the No. 1 pick instead of facing the Heat's Big Three in the second round of the playoffs. .
This sudden turn also caused silence in the American Airlines Arena, and the commentator at the Heat's home court was also concerned about Li Kaiming's injury.
"After Li Kaiming made a shot, he clutched his ankle and fell to the ground with a painful expression. If nothing else, he should have stepped on the defensive player's foot! Let's see what happened in the replay."
As the commentator explained, the on-site director began to replay the situation of the ball just now, and the camera lens also focused on Li Kaiming's feet.
As the progress bar dragged in, it was clearly displayed on the big screen. When Li Kaiming shot, a foot wearing James' 8th generation signature shoe appeared at his feet like a ghost!
It turns out to be James!
The on-site commentator had an embarrassed look on his face, twitched his mouth a few times, and then said, "Oh! It turns out that Li Kaiming accidentally stepped on LeBron's foot. What bad luck!"
In the replay footage, Li Kaiming's foot happened to step on this foot. The slow-motion footage clearly shows that Li Kaiming's ankle was completely twisted laterally by 90 degrees, causing many people who saw this scene to have their ankles twisted. It's a dull pain!
It hurts to look at it!
At this time, Li Kaiming and the Wizards players had no time to find James for the theory, because after checking it, the team doctor said to Sanders, "The situation is not optimistic. It has begun to swell. You must get off the court immediately and apply cold compresses." Send him to the hospital immediately for CT scan and MRI!"
When Sanders heard this, he immediately froze on the spot!
This news is a bolt from the blue for the Wizards!
In the end, Sanders reached out from the bench to call someone to take Li Kaiming out. Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian were the most active. After all, they were also the people closest to Li Kaiming on the team.
When he walked to the entrance of the players' tunnel, Li Kaiming suddenly tapped Yi Jianlian on the shoulder and asked him to stop. Li Kaiming turned around and called coach.
Sanders turned his head, only to find that Li Kaiming's eyes were red at this moment.
"Coach, can I still play in this series?"
Sanders looked at his proud disciple with a sore nose, then stepped forward and pressed Li Kaiming's shoulder, "Recover well, we'll wait for you to come back!"
Sanders did not directly answer Li Kaiming's question, which has already explained everything!
In the end, Li Kaiming was held up by Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, and he followed the team doctor and disappeared at the end of the player tunnel...
The news that Li Kaiming would not be able to play was also announced by the on-site commentator. However, what was surprising was that the Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena did not feel sorry for Li Kaiming's hand, but began to cheer and celebrate!
"Great! Now the Eastern Conference finals are safe!"
"Hahaha, without a team leader, it would be great if the Wizards don't get swept!"
"Sweep? That's a good idea. If we don't lose to the Heat by 20 points per game, we lose! Hahaha!"
Perhaps it was because Li Kaiming scored the highest score in his career at the Heat's home court, which caused too much pain to the Heat fans, or because the Heat fans hated Li Kaiming because of the grudges in the regular season. Anyway, after Li Kaiming was injured, not a single Heat fan gave him a standing ovation. Blessed by Li Kaiming.
At this moment, on the bench of the Heat, James looked serious. He picked up a towel and covered his head. After covering his face, under the towel, the corners of LeBron's mouth finally turned up after having endured it for a long time!
Wade next to him patted James' shaking shoulder and said, "LeBron, let's go and play!"
"Okay! Here we come!" James pulled off the towel covering his head, and the expression on his face returned to his unsmiling look. He walked onto the court. He was still the domineering little basketball emperor, but the one opposite him made him hate and feel uncomfortable. The guy who threatened him had already left the court!
Next, it’s my, LeBron’s, world!
At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, the team doctor had helped Li Kaiming wrap an ice pack around his ankle and then put on protective boots.
Low temperature can not only reduce the pain in the sprained area, but also shrink the capillaries there, preventing massive bleeding and eventual swelling due to blood vessel rupture caused by the sprain.
After being wrapped in ice, Li Kaiming felt much better. At least the pain in his ankle was bearable.
Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian had to play, so they simply paid attention to Li Kaiming and left in a hurry. Now only the team doctor and some staff were left in the visiting team's locker room.
Li Kaiming regained his senses, and he couldn't wait to ask the team doctor, "Can I still play in this series?"
The team doctor of the Wizards is a bald middle-aged black man. After hearing Li Kaiming's innocent question, his face showed concern for the mentally retarded, "You can make it! If you don't mind being a cripple for the rest of your life!"
Hearing this answer, Li Kaiming smiled, and then asked again, "Why?"
However, the team doctor was quite patient and explained to Li Kaiming seriously, "I briefly checked on the court and found that there should be no major fractures, but I cannot rule out the possibility of bone cracks or broken bones, and Even if there is no problem with the bones, you still need to do an MRI to check the condition of the ligaments. If you are really the chosen one, and there are no problems with the bones and ligaments in this case, the mildest condition is soft tissue injury, and the recovery of soft tissue injuries is No matter how fast it is, it will still take two weeks..."
Let’s not talk about the team doctor later. Li Kaiming also understood that the team doctor was indeed very professional and patient, and it was also for his own good not to let him play.
"FxxK!" Li Kaiming was so angry that he hammered the chair with his fist. The team doctor reminded him with a smile, "Li, reduce strenuous exercise, otherwise the injured area may swell!"
After everything was prepared and fixed, the team doctor and staff took Li Kaiming to the underground parking lot of the arena. A black car was already waiting here. After a few people got in, the car took them there. Nearby hospital.
When Li Kaiming left the field, there were only a few minutes left in the game.
Without the threat of Li Kaiming, the Wizards have dropped by more than one level on both ends of the offense and defense. They were originally unable to prevent James' breakthrough, but at least there was Li Kaiming's cover under the basket. Now the Wizards' defense has completely become On the road in the early morning, not only James and Wade, but also the old Mike Bibby could use the pick-and-roll to break through to the penalty area and make a successful throw!
In this situation, let alone Sanders, there is no chance even if Popovich comes!
Ah, no, Popovich was hacked just now, he is not as good as Sanders!
After the fight reached the back, the only one in the Wizards who dared to fight was Nick Young. As expected of you, you can be as strong as you want, Nick Young!
It's a pity that Nick Young dares to play, but he can't guarantee a goal, and he is defended by Wade, one of the strongest shooting guards in the league. Even if he can use the screen, Nick Young has no way to drive his teammates. Able to hit a few long two-pointers here and there.
In particular, the Wizards' starting players have not played a short amount of time. Their physical strength is combined with their strength, which is not as good as the opponent's. Moreover, the team's boss is injured and his momentum is lower than that of the opponent.
The Heat's morale was high. At the end of the game, the offensive was like a flood after the floodgates opened. During this period of time, James transformed into the most dazzling player on the court. Not only could he break through to the basket and dunk on Blatche. , and can also use his breakthrough threat to distribute the ball to outside shooters, and even hit shots!
Without Li Kaiming, James is like a tiger from below, killing the sheep-like players of the Wizards, and the American Airlines Center has reached climax one after another, with endless cheers and applause!
In just three minutes, the Heat pulled the already very close score to 108-97. Seeing that the situation was over, Sanders had no choice but to take the initiative to replace the starter and admit defeat!
At the end of the game, the Heat won the first game of the series at home 112-103 and successfully defended their home court. The Heat's Big Three were one step closer to the championship!
James played for 43 minutes and scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The statistics were very luxurious, and tonight's commentator commented that his performance was like a god from heaven!
Li Kaiming played "only" 41 minutes due to injury, scoring 36 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. If you don't watch the game and only look at the data, you will think that James won this strong matchup.
But as long as you watch the game, you will know that 10 of James' 38 points were scored after Li Kaiming came off the court, not to mention the rebound and assist data.
However, fans of the Little Emperor don't pay attention to this stuff. They will only post a domineering poster of James with his luxurious statistics on their social media, and then write some words that look very ridiculous.
"The King is back! Let's teach the No. 1 pick a lesson!"
