Zhao Feiyang's outstanding performance in the first half became the focus of the audience, especially the scene where he used street ball moves to tease street ball player Jeff Brooks, which surprised many fans.
The second half soon arrived.
The South Bay Diamondbacks gradually took the lead under his leadership, directly opening up a nearly 20-point gap with the opponent. Regarding this situation, Zhao Feiyang also knew that breaking the balance of the game was not an appropriate behavior, so he decisively reduced the number of shots and gave more opportunities to his teammates.
Despite this, in the following time, every time he took the ball, he would cause exclamations from the fans at the scene.
With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the Diamondbacks attacked and the ball passed half court. Teammate Baynes passed the ball to Zhao Feiyang at the top of the arc. The next moment, Zhao Feiyang made a single from outside the left three-point line.
Facing Brooks who was on defense, Zhao Feiyang didn't use too many unnecessary moves at all. He just used a triple threat and directly raised the basketball above Brooks' head and took a decisive shot.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
Brooks had already fluttered in front of Zhao Feiyang, and his hand almost touched Zhao Feiyang's palm, but he still couldn't stop Zhao Feiyang from throwing in the three-pointer.
There were constant cheers outside the court, and Zhao Feiyang also enjoyed listening to the screams and shouts of the fans. He also performed Allen Iverson's signature "listening" action, which instantly made the atmosphere extremely lively.
It was the Broncos' turn to fight back.
After the ball passed half court, Brooks drove to the basket under the cover of his teammates. Not only was he smooth in street ball, he was also very quick in breaking into the penalty area.
However, at the moment when he was about to throw the basketball, Zhao Feiyang swooped up from behind him, and the ball thrown by Brooks was slapped out by Zhao Feiyang in mid-air.
Snapped.
The basketball flew directly out of bounds.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the fans screamed louder than ever. Zhao Feiyang's terrifying jumping ability really shocked them, and made all the Broncos players look horrified.
However, when he landed, Zhao Feiyang felt a little uncomfortable in his ankle. Although the uncomfortable feeling was very slight, it still gave him a bad feeling.
So, he hurriedly made a gesture to Diamondbacks head coach Dave, who understood and took advantage of this moment to quickly replace him.
"Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
"Coach Dave, I want to take a rest...the game is almost over anyway! Let me relax on the bench!"
"OK! You performed so well, of course you can take a rest...Thank you for joining, man..."
Coach Dave didn't think much and allowed Zhao Feiyang to go over and rest.
The same was true for everyone else. Everyone thought that Zhao Feiyang just wanted to take a rest. After all, the game time was almost over, so it was not surprising that he took the initiative to take a rest.
Only Zhao Feiyang knew that at this moment he not only needed to rest, but also needed to pay attention to the condition of his ankle. Of course, he won't express everything. As a superstar in the league, he has a little bit more face. If he expressed it in public, Zhao Feiyang would feel more embarrassed.
Fortunately, the game ended quickly.
call out.
The moment the referee's whistle sounded, the game was over and the score was 109 to 91. The Diamondbacks finally won by 18 points.
As the most watched player in the game, Zhao Feiyang scored 40 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists and 7 blocks. It can be said that his performance on the court was explosive.
There was only one invitational tournament, so Zhao Feiyang was ready to leave after the game. Unexpectedly, the fans were so enthusiastic that many people gathered around him and continued to ask for photos and autographs. In order to live up to the support of these fans, Zhao Feiyang patiently signed autographs for them before leaving.
After leaving the arena, Zhao Feiyang immediately set off and rushed to the hospital.
He had many teammates in Los Angeles, so he knew some doctors, so he simply had an ankle examination here.
While waiting for the results, agent David Stock also rushed to the hospital where he was staying.
"Zhao, how are you? Are the results available now?"
After learning that Zhao Feiyang's ankle was uncomfortable, Stock, who happened to be on a business trip in Los Angeles, rushed over immediately.
"I feel fine now, but the results haven't come out yet. I don't know what the specific situation is..."
Stoke didn't say anything. He sat down next to Zhao Feiyang and asked about his injury while chatting. Two hours later, Zhao Feiyang finally received the diagnosis results.
The doctor who examined him called him directly to the office. In the small room, the doctor closed the door and asked about Zhao Feiyang's condition, "Have you been injured before? Judging from the results of the X-ray, your right ankle seems to be injured." There is a little problem..."
The doctor's question immediately reminded Zhao Feiyang of his time in CBA.
When I was injured in the Pearl Sharks, apart from the serious knee, I did have some problems with my right ankle. But at that time, he thought his injury was healed and nothing happened.
"You injured your left ankle before, so during this period of rehabilitation training, you have been relying on the power of your right foot invisibly... This increases the risk of injury to your right ankle... The pain you feel this time may be caused by the sequelae of the previous... Also, your excessive performance in the game has affected your body..."
"As a doctor, my suggestion is that you rest for a while longer. At that time, we can contact your attending doctor to discuss a rehabilitation plan for your ankle... If nothing happens, you will recover this time. There should be no more problems..."
The doctor's words made Zhao Feiyang fall into deep thought.
If I rest for a longer period of time, it is very likely that I will not be able to play in the preseason. In that case, his newly recovered physical condition may have to return to its previous state. However, in order to perform normally in the regular season and playoffs, he has no extra choice now.
"Okay, doctor, I listen to you."
Soon, the medical teams from Los Angeles and the Timberwolves began to communicate. After the team management learned the news, they immediately sent a professional team to help Zhao Feiyang resume training. They also planned to ask the medical team from Phoenix if the team's medical team couldn't handle it.
The team doctors of the Suns have the best medical skills in the entire NBA. Their medical team has helped many players recover, the most famous of which is Steve Nash.
Compared to the notorious Portland Trail Blazers "vet" team, the Suns' team doctors are undoubtedly the last hope for NBA players.
