The Bulls and Hornets' series went very smoothly, at least before the Red Giant fell.

Two minutes before the end of the game, Francis missed the three-point line. The exhausted Yao Ming still struggled to grab the rebound under the attack of two muscular men, PJ Brown and Magloire.

Although Magloyle and PJ Brown are not star players, their style is quite tough.

Offense can only be used to detonate, but one is good at scratching the board and the other is good at defending, which is a typical representative of a muscle-type center.

The Hornets originally wanted to use these two guys to curb Yao Ming, but unfortunately, Yao Ming, who has grown up, cannot be defended by just two blue-collar workers.

In the first game, Yao Ming scored 22 points and 9 rebounds in the game, helping the Bulls defeat the Hornets.

The same is true today, Maglouil and Brown are attacking Yao Ming all the time.

Because this is Milicic's first time playing in the playoffs and is too young, his performance is a bit far from the regular season, and his shooting is not particularly stable in fierce confrontations.

Without stable firepower, it is impossible to open up space for Yao Ming.

Therefore, Yao Ming basically attacks every round with the left and right men.

This time, Francis' three-pointer hit the box, and Yao Ming still grabbed the rebound under the defense of the two.

To be honest, centers like Brown and Magloil should really thank Shaq and Yao Ming for their good gratitude.

If it weren't for Shaq and Yao Ming, all of their muscles and sticks who had no offensive methods would have been unemployed.

After Yao Ming got the basketball under the interference of the two, he pushed Maglouier away very hard, and then jumped on the spot to make a layup under Brown's push.

But because the confrontation was too fierce when the jump was taken, Yao Ming's body was already tilted. So when he landed, he did not stand firm, and his left foot first hit the ground, and then his knee accidentally twisted.

Basketball entered the net, and the referee whistle sounded, and Yao Ming got the chance to score a three-pointer.

The Bulls fans all cheered, and their Chinese No. 1 pick was invincible in the inside line as always.

In normal times, Yao Ming would definitely stand up, wave his fist excitedly, and roar with tomatoes.

But this time, the Chinese giant was lying on the ground, covering his knees, with a painful expression.

Soon, Yao Ming limped away early with the help of the team doctor and walked back to the locker room.

He left, helping the Bulls get a 9-point lead.

In the end, the Bulls also relied on the advantage that Yao Ming had made before and won the Hornets, and the total score of the series became 2-0.

But after winning, none of the Bulls players could laugh. They knew very well that without Yao Ming, this team would be like losing the backbone.

After the game, Yao Ming's physical examination was found. He had a moderate sprain in his knee fatigue. Fortunately, he did not injure the tendons and bones and would not have much impact on his career.

Unfortunately, although the muscles and bones are not damaged, it will take about four to five weeks to complete recovery.

In other words, Yao Ming will probably not return until the finals.

The premise is that the Bulls can reach the finals without Yao Ming.

After the game, Bulls coach Skeles felt very uncomfortable.

When he heard that Yao Ming was suffering from fatigue damage, he was also helpless.

Since the start of the playoffs, Yao Ming has been playing around 39 minutes per game.

This is not because Skyles wants to fuck Yao Ming to death. The key is that under the playoff level defensive intensity, Yao Ming is the only one in the Bulls. Yes, the only reliable stable scoring point.

Francis still made it in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it was a game of gods and ghosts.

Can score, but not stable.

Although Atai can score points, he is not a scorer himself, and you can't expect him to share too much scoring pressure for Yao Ming.

I won’t talk about Milicic. As a kid under 19 years old, in the East where you advocate muscle defense, you can’t expect him to kill all the people in the first year.

Even a certain NCAA final four match can't withstand the torture of the playoffs.

Although his performance was not satisfactory, Milicic's mentality was already very good without being defeated like Anthony in the playoffs.

Angua: Damn it’s all the way to the second round, can you please stop mentioning it!

It’s not OK to mention it, the legend of 54 will be passed down forever.

Because of this, Skyles had to kill Yao Ming. Once Yao Ming ended, the Bulls' offense would be just a word, Wu'an, soft.

To be honest, it’s a blessing that Yao Ming did not gain weight completely in this history. Otherwise, he would have averaged 39 minutes per game, and he would have been aborted in the first round.

It’s a blessing that I didn’t gain weight, otherwise it might not be as simple as an ordinary sprain.

Skeles didn't want it either, but there was no way.

But it turns out that if a player dies, there will be problems sooner or later.

Originally, Li Ang shot and killed the Wolf King from outside the three-point line today, and Chinese fans were very excited.

As a result, as soon as the news of Yao Ming's injury came out, Chinese fans instantly felt what it means to be a world of ice and fire.

Larry Brown was so happy that Yao Ming was injured, which meant that the Pistons' biggest opponent in the East was self-defeating.

If the Pistons want to enter the finals, they will no longer encounter too many obstacles.

Originally, the Pacers and the Nets had already fallen early in this history. Now, even the only opponent, the Bulls, fell again, and the Pistons have indeed dominated the East.

But on the other hand, no matter who enters the finals, the West must have been completely disabled when it comes in.

Not to mention the Western Conference Finals, it has been fierce enough to play in the Western Conference semi-finals so far.

At that time, the Pistons will play such a Western Conference team with less-health. Wouldn't that be a good deal?

Larry Brown was so happy that he played Chopin's nocturne at home to pay homage to his piercing ass. He hid his identity for the ass and played the piano under the moonlight.

As long as you can win the championship, the sacrifice of the butt is worth it. Even if you are stabbed again, it will be fine.

Can you imagine what it feels like to spray blood on the toilet?

Can you imagine how ashamed Brown, a decades-old man, actually wanted to wear his wife's relative scarf during the recovery period in order not to let blood seep out?

You have to be careful when walking, otherwise you will have to miss it in front of the reporters.

Those days were simply the darkest time in Larry Brown's life.

Those days when you walk like a penguin, those days when you ask your wife for a relative's towel every day, those days when you sit on the toilet and spray blood, step by step makes Brown more abnormal, no, stronger!

It's time to stand up in adversity!

Yao Ming was injured, and he was so motivated by Larry Brown.

It was as if the Bulls were defeated by him.

Should I say it or not? Brown has a set of picking peaches in both the original history and the present.

In the original history, Carlisle's peaches were picked, and now Yao Ming's peaches were picked.

Li Ang-yuan called him the holy hand of picking peaches.

After seeing the news in the locker room, Li Ang also called Yao Ming as soon as possible.

On the phone, Yao Ming's voice was very relaxed.

After all, the injury was not particularly serious and it did not affect his career, which made Yao Ming feel relieved.

Moreover, Yao Ming said that even if you appear with injuries, it is not impossible.

Who hasn't been injured even when he reaches the playoffs?

Li Ang was also injured. When he just inserted his mouth, his little head probably lost a few strands of hair.

Although Yao Ming can play with injuries, even if he can only exert six or seven success powers, it will be a huge help to the Bulls.

But Yao Ming admitted to Li Ang that he did not plan to do so.

After all, after the playoffs, the Olympics will come one after another.

For Yao Ming, the schedule for the summer of 2004 was a bit too intensive.

Many ugly players may be able to give up the Olympics for the sake of the NBA.

But for Yao Ming, serving the country is more than anything else.

In Yao Ming's mind, the NBA champion is not as good as the Olympic champion.

Yao Ming won the Asian Championships, Yao Ming won the Asian Games, and even the World Championships, the Chinese team miraculously won the Asian Championships.

Now, the only award Yao Ming has never won in international competitions is the Olympic gold medal.

Four years ago in Sydney, he was just a young little devil, standing next to the bus and Wang Zhizhi.

He could only cheer for the three-pointer of the clairvoyance off the court and applaud Li Ang's egg-feeding flight.

But now, he has become the No. 2 figure in Chinese basketball, and he will personally support the Chinese team's penalty area.

Yao Ming doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

If Yao Ming wouldn't regret it for the rest of his life if he was injured due to a forced comeback, he would be unable to fight the Olympics.

Although Yao Ming is eager for the NBA championship and is eager to rush out of the East.

But none of these desires come strongly than the Olympics.

These desires are not as good as letting the five-star red flag rise in Athens, and it makes Yao Ming even more moved.
