What does it mean to be in hell in the last second, and to heaven in the next second?

100 to 106, G6 lost. For a moment, the mentality of most Bulls players had exploded!

Although the Bulls players still believe in their strength and are eager to win the tiebreaker battle and defend the title at home, they are also shocked by the super resilience and never give up. They are excited about the ability to play a tiebreak battle with such a team... But they were chased from 3-1 to 3-3, even if there are so many reasons to support them, their mentality still explodes!

After returning to the locker room, the morale of the Bulls players was very low. At this time, they didn't know what to do. They had never encountered such a situation, from 3 to 1 to tiebreak...

Jordan is ready to start speech mode, although I don’t know if it works.

At this moment, General Manager Jerry Klaus's butt secretary rushed into the locker room with a blush on his face. After gasping for a while, the Bulls players were stunned... and then, ecstatic!

"Oni...Oni...Oni...Oni...Oni...Oni...Oni is injured! Maybe it was a rotator cuff muscle torn and was sent to the hospital!"

Jordan was disgusting when he looked at the Bulls general manager Jerry Klaus, and he was disgusting when the people around Klaus looked.

But this time, Jordan felt that this secretary was the most beautiful beauty in the world!

The strongest superstar of his opponent was injured... The Bulls were unwilling to do that kind of thing that maliciously hurt his opponent's star, especially Jordan himself encountered such a situation many times in the late 1980s, and he hated this kind of thing.

The opponent's star is injured and it seems that he will be invincible, but at this time the Bulls will choose to "be humble"? Of course it is impossible! This is an opportunity! It is their chance to win the championship!

Injuries are part of the game, and whether you can stay healthy is part of the player's strength.

The Lakers have not guaranteed good health and their strength has declined, which is part of their strength.

There is one thing to be lucky, but although Barkley and O'Neal's explosive performance in G5 and G6 is based on strength, isn't O'Neal's five hook shots in the third quarter a lucky one? Barkley's G5's mid-range shot was ridiculously accurate, and his shots under the basket were also amazingly accurate, which was also a manifestation of good luck.

Luck is also part of strength. With the foundation of strength, you can only grasp it when luck comes.

Now, it is their Bulls who want to seize the good luck!

...

...

Originally, although O'Neal's shoulder injury did not completely heal, it did not affect the game. He protected him well and then treated him after the season... It may have been delayed for too long and some problems will arise, but it has been within a controllable range.

However, in the finals, O'Neal's bloody battle resulted in the prolonging of his post-match physical therapy time and the time to wear a pressure jacket. Finally, he played his life in the G5G6 games, especially in the G6's offense and defense struggled with all his strength, and he still deepened the rotator cuff muscles that were originally strained to tear the rotator cuffs local muscles.

I went to the hospital for an examination and confirmed that Gary Vidy's judgment was correct after the game.

The Silver Fox left the stadium as soon as the game ended, rushed to the hospital, and received the bad news.

After coming to the Lakers, despite fighting Zhang Hao openly and secretly, O'Neal has not shown the frustration and depression of the Magic during the 95-96 season and the 94-95 season finals.

In this finals, O'Neal often showed that expression. After G5, he got better. He only regained his original energy after the first three quarters of G6, but the reasonable pull in a confrontation in the fourth quarter... This kind of pull is reasonable in the finals. Barkley, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams... and even George Lynch will face the same defensive treatment when he plays power forward.

It’s just that he had a shoulder injury before, which caused this defensive treatment to have a different effect on him.

He only has one idea now. Am I going to lose the finals again?

It’s 3 to 3, losing, losing 1 to 3 will make O’Neal unwilling!

They all fought to this point and saw the dawn, but their legs were unable to move.

Seeing the Silver Fox coming, O'Neal gritted his teeth and said, "Coach, I'm fine. I can still fight in a pressure suit!"

O'Neal looked like a ferocious beast with a surviving blood, extremely ferocious. The silver fox felt the unwillingness in O'Neal's heart.

Although O'Neal was too lazy to be like anything in the regular season, the Lakers have become the Los Angeles Nets, and the regular season is supported by three players who have been fetched from the Nets.

But in the playoffs... In fact, during the All-Star Weekend, O'Neal competed for the third team, the Silver Fox saw that O'Neal was not as lazy as people think, and they had pursuits.

It’s just because of Zhang Hao, the teammate, that I’m too happy to paddle...

Looking at O'Neal's unwilling look, the Silver Fox almost agreed, but rationality still prevailed: "No, Shaq, you should recover well. I will not take risks for a mere championship. You are far more important than a championship!"

O'Neal was stunned when he heard this.

He was very happy to come to the Lakers, but he always felt that this team belonged to Zhang Hao. Lakers fans liked him and his teammates accommodated him because he could help the team win the championship.

The whole world loves Aix. This is O'Neal's feeling for a season. Since the NBA official, he has been building momentum for Zhang Hao. The team management, Los Angeles and even California local media are all like this. Zhang Hao has received more love in this place than the world-storming baseball superstars of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Although I like this place, O'Neal always thought in his heart that what the people here need is his strength, and he just needs to help the team win the championship.

Especially Silver Fox, this coach who seems to be doing nothing but just to win the game.

At this moment, O'Neal choked up and opened his mouth: "I...but, I want... the championship..."

Silver Fox has no choice. He also wants to win the championship. He has fought for this. This is the closest he has ever been to the championship.

At this time, O'Neal was injured and not allowed to hold on, it really means that he gave up on this matter.

But seeing O'Neal's appearance, the Silver Fox chose to look forward to it... He looked at O'Neal, whose shoulders were already covered with protective gear by the doctor, and tried hard to amplify the last expectation deep in his heart...

"Shake," Silver Fox adjusted his emotions, and his expression affected his expression from his heart. He said the words of a high school rookie who always heard him want to play a No. 8 jersey: "We have Aix... You have to believe in the light!"

...

...

In the Bulls' locker room and hospital, different emotional changes occurred due to O'Neal's shoulder injury.

On the Lakers, the players were excited to get the big score to 3-3, but they received bad news...

Post-match interview, rejection, press conference, cancellation, and after the Lakers' game, they hurried back to their holiday villa waiting for news.

Finally, it was confirmed that O'Neal's rotator cuff injury worsened as Gary Widy judged.

The team's management and coaching staff unanimously decided not to let O'Neal play the tiebreaker and avoid the shoulder injuries that really affect their careers, such as rotator cuff inflammation, which would really ruin O'Neal, who was only 25 years old.

Other Lakers players chose to accept this decision.

But this incident made them collapse!

They climbed up from the abyss step by step, and finally stood on the top of the mountain. There was another game where they could make a counterattack from the abyss. However, at this critical moment, one of the three best players in the Lakers team could not play in the finals... This undoubtedly kicked them back into the abyss...

...

Barkley, Jeromy Coles, Wilkins, Magician, Byron Scott, there was a bar in the lobby of the villa where the five of them lived. Barkley took a bottle of red wine, came to the yard, and drank it directly with a bottle.

Seeing Zhang Hao walking into the yard from the dim road, Barkley burped and asked, "Aix, do you think I am really unlucky? Like Baylor, you can't win the championship no matter what?"

The tone was not as sad as the one in the toilet after the G4 was hit, and there was not even reluctance, but it was very calm.

That's right, why did you mention Baylor? After all, he is a celebrity in his own team.

Zhang Hao originally wanted to say something, but these two fat people were always unexpected and once again broke the wording he prepared.

After Barkley finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Hao with a very calm look.

Zhang Hao was silent for a long time, and the yard was silent. At some point, the four veterans of Jeromy Colsey, Wilkins, Magician, and Byron Scott also came to the yard, silently...

Like Magicians and Byron Scott, they are good at winning the championship, and they won’t care too much if they can’t win the championship... They still care about Jordan’s 5 championships, but it’s not unacceptable.

But Jeromy Coles and Wilkins came to the Lakers, it really felt like a last try. Both of them are old and have been playing for more than ten years. At their age, I really don’t know what they will be in next season. They are very uncertain at the beginning of each season.

After a long quiet time, Zhang Hao spoke: "Mr. Barkley, you can always believe in light!"

It’s not the grief and anger and unwillingness of O’Neal in the hospital, the peace of Barkley that was on the verge of giving up under despair, nor the surging helplessness of other veterans, nor the self-blame of other young players who are willing to kill the enemy but have the will but lack the ability to do it...

What the five veterans feel is a kind of hope!

For example, the first ray of budding trees I saw after the cold winter was not affected by the snow around me, and was tenacious and tenaciously declared the arrival of early spring.

It's very small, but when you see it, your first reaction means hope.

Looking at Zhang Hao's calm face as always and his usual tone as usual as he spoke... his teammates felt an indescribable emotion.

Even though the dark clouds are now shrouded in darkness, they really feel that they can still stretch out their hands, push away the clouds and see the sunrise!

"Gentlemen, have a break early, meet in Kenny's living room tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, see you tomorrow."

Zhang Hao greeted him politely as always and left. The magician looked at Zhang Hao's back and showed an iconic smile.

It is obvious that the three veterans with different emotions but desperate situations are all desperate, and at this moment, they have begun to cheer up.

Watching Zhang Hao disappear on the dim road, the magician seemed to see himself 17 years ago, but it was very different.

At that time, he worked very hard and actively wanted to convey his confidence to his teammates. Zhang Hao did not convey such intense feelings, but his role was no worse than his smile, which was called the "big winner"!

...

...

When he returned to the villa where he lived, Zhang Hao felt that he was going to be ruined.

However, the slut has been pretending and cannot be ruined now.

Regarding O'Neal's injury, he didn't want to go deeper and think about what it means and what kind of impact it would be, so as to avoid falling into a vicious cycle.

At this critical time point, his thinking was extremely clear in such a big scene.

This is related to the team's step-by-step progression under the leadership of Barkley and O'Neal.

In this finals, Zhang Hao himself could feel his growth in all aspects.

When things have happened and cannot be changed, what he thought about is how to make up for the shortcomings and solve the problem.

When we arrived at the living room, the two girls and loli were not asleep yet and were waiting for Zhang Hao to come back.

Zhang Hao asked, "Where is Stephen?"

The little loli decisively turned black: "When Ellie went to see him just now, she found that he was asleep. He probably fainted from crying."
