"The Thunder defeated the Warriors 4-2 in the Western Conference Finals. They entered the Finals again after two years!!" Xu Jicheng shouted.
"While congratulating the Thunder, we are also extremely worried about Zhao Chen's injury. Zhao Chen is an MVP-level player after the Thunder entered the playoffs. He scored 60 points in two games, 50 points in three games, and two game-winners! Zhao Chen's performance is of great significance to the Thunder. The key is, along the way, Zhao Chen has given us too many surprises and expectations..." Zhang Weiping used emotional language to mobilize the emotions of the fans.
Many female fans were in tears.
The scene of Zhao Chen's injury makes people feel distressed.
...
The final whistle sounded, back to the finals.
But Coach Brooks didn't have much joy in his heart at the moment.
He was very eager to know the condition of Zhao Chen's injury.
Thunder players and staff are celebrating that they have become the new kings of the Western Conference.
Winning tickets to the finals is the best result in history for the Thunder.
In the locker room.
"Dang, win the Western Conference championship and be rewarded with 50 victory points."
"Dang, if you get 60+ in a single game, you will be rewarded with 10 victory points."
"Dang, win G6 of the Western Conference Finals and be rewarded with 10 victory points."
....
Coupled with the victory points he originally saved, Zhao Chen had more than enough to buy injury potions. This was also an important reason for him not to worry about getting injured.
The competition in the playoffs is too intense, and the physical exertion is huge. Any super player who is not injured must be very lucky.
Zhao Chen exchanged the [Injury Potion (Intermediate Level)] without hesitation.
Advanced level is for dealing with career-destroying injuries, there is no need to use that type.
"Dang, the use was successful. The injury to the medial collateral ligament of the host's right leg was reduced from level 2 to level 1 (the least severe)!"
As an athlete, Zhao Chen also knows the recuperation time for grade 2 medial collateral ligament injuries.
Grade 2 is a partial ligament tear. If we look at the normal recovery time, this Grade 2 injury to the medial collateral ligament is enough for him to rest for more than a month, and he can miss the finals perfectly...
Level 1 is completely different, and the recovery time will be greatly shortened.
After using the injury potion, the pain and swelling around Zhao Chen's knees disappeared immediately.
Although there is still some mechanical discomfort, it is not painful anymore.
Zhao Chen smiled in the locker room as he watched his teammates on the screen accepting awards in the center of the field.
After working hard for so long, I finally killed the warrior.
Zhao Chen turned on his phone and saw a pile of unread messages.
When Zhao Chen was about to read, another latest message came.
Stephen Curry.
"Zhao, congratulations on becoming the Western Conference champions. I'm sorry that my actions hurt you. I didn't mean to. I feel very guilty. How do you feel now?"
This injury is an accident and is not a malicious defensive action.
To a large extent, the injury was due to Zhao Chen being too tired, causing his knee to twist when he landed.
"It should be fine, how are you?"
"It's good that you're okay, otherwise I'll have insomnia tonight. I don't know yet. I'll go to the hospital later. I wish us all good luck."
"Just wait and see how I teach LeBron a lesson in the finals, haha!!!"
.......
The Warriors players all walked back to the locker room in low spirits.
For them, their season is over.
They are extremely eager for the championship, but this year, the championship does not belong to them.
Thompson, Green, Iguodala and others comforted and hugged each other before returning to their locker rooms.
They'll have a whole summer to heal.
.....................
Soon, the Thunder players also came to the locker room holding the trophy.
They want to celebrate with Zhao Chen.
Champagne poured out in the locker room.
Everyone danced around Zhao Chen and raised their hands.
Zhao Chen took over the T-shirt representing the Western Conference championship. He wanted to stand up and celebrate with his teammates.
But Westbrook and Durant pushed Zhao Chen down.
"Dude, just sit down!!"
"Have a good rest, we still have to rely on you for the finals."
Westbrook and Durant don't want Zhao Chen to suffer serious injuries.
The moment Zhao Chen was injured, they felt that the championship was once again far away!
It wasn't until they saw that Zhao Chen seemed to be fine that they were in a good mood to celebrate.
Zhao Chen did not refuse the kindness of his teammates. He sat in the middle of the locker room, put on his hat, and clapped to the beat of his teammates to celebrate.
Countless cameras were watching in the corners of the locker room as all the Thunder members were celebrating wildly.
Zhao Chen wiped the champagne on his body...
Licking it, it was a bit pungent.
Touching the hat on his head and looking at everything around him, Zhao Chen felt a little dazed. It was all very dreamy.
After such a long time, he finally reached the top of the Western Conference!
....
....
After the celebration, most of the Thunder players dispersed to accept interviews and pack their things.
Zhao Chen found Westbrook and Durant walking towards him with the Western Conference Championship trophy.
"Aren't you going to the press conference to accept the praise?" Zhao Chen said.
Championship interviews are congratulations from reporters, and many players enjoy these.
"Zhao, this is not our goal." Durant shook his head.
"Yes, our goal is the championship, otherwise this trophy is meaningless." Westbrook put the Western Conference championship trophy aside.
"It's just one step away." Durant nodded.
Zhao Chen could feel Durant and Westbrook's desire for revenge in the finals.
Three years ago, the Heat beat them.
Then this year, the opponent should still be the Heat.
Walker? They looked sensational but lost the series every time.
It's still James' reign in the Eastern Conference.
Durant didn't mention the bath water from beginning to end, which also means his maturity.
...
...
News gathering hall.
Warriors head coach Mark Jackson announced to the media: "I have applied to the management to resign as the team's head coach. We have a group of championship-level players, but I cannot bring them to the level of a championship. !”
After speaking, Mark Jackson bowed.
"Kakakaka!!"
After the Grizzlies announced a head coach change not long ago, the Warriors head coach also announced his resignation.
This is the second head coach to resign from the Thunder.
NBA head coaches change more frequently than many professions, and for them, head coach tenures are short.
This news still caused a sensation in the media circle.
The reporter asked: "Coach Mark, how do you evaluate the Western Conference Finals?"
Now that Mark Jackson has resigned, the media can no longer continue to criticize him.
Mark Jackson replied: "OKC played a very strong sense of rhythm. They had strong superstar singles that made us lose our rhythm in some games. Of course, our players are also great, playing with our tenacity and style. It's me His abilities are not outstanding enough.”
The reporter asked: "In overtime, what kind of impact did Zhao Chen's consecutive three-pointers have on you?"
Mark Jackson spread his hands: "Our morale has taken a huge hit, which makes us lose confidence."
The reporter asked: "What kind of player do you think Zhao Chen is in the playoffs?"
Mark said, “He is God!”
After saying this, Mark Jackson turned and left!
