play for it

Chapter 80
Holding the fingers of his right hand tightly, Kobe walked to the sidelines with a painful expression. At the same time, a slightly fat woman came out from a corner of the Lakers bench carrying a small box.

Chubby face, looks amiable, wearing a pair of round glasses, a typical Asian face, almost all the audience fans at the scene know her, Judy Seto.

As early as 2000, as an excellent masseur, Judy began to serve Kobe, and these years, as Kobe grew older and suffered more and more injuries, Judy's importance became more prominent-no matter the main On the away game, whether it is the health room or the front line of the game, she is always by Kobe's side.

"Your finger is dislocated!"

As a doctor of medicine, Judy is not only skilled in physical therapy techniques, but also has 26 years of experience in physical therapy, so when she saw the condition of Kobe's fingers, she immediately made a judgment.

"I feel it too! What should I do?"

Kobe's face was almost wrinkled due to the huge pain, and he looked down at the right palm with two deformed, red, and swollen fingers in front of him, and asked quickly.

Reaching out and gently pinching the two fingers, Judy looked serious. The problem with the fingers is not serious, but it still needs to be handled carefully to prevent future troubles. Then she said to Kobe: "I suggest using ice compresses first. one time……"

"It's just a small injury, don't worry about it."

Hearing what Judy said, Kobe frowned tightly. The obvious conventional physical therapy method is time-consuming but the effect is good.However, as a veteran who has played in the NBA for more than ten years, while his body has been left with injuries everywhere, he has a little bit of his own judgment on the extent of the injury.

"A quick, easy way, the game doesn't leave us much time."

Kobe looked up at Judy, and said with certainty that the dislocated finger was just a minor injury in Kobe's eyes, and he was able to grit his teeth and hold on. In fact, he is doing the same now.This small problem does not make him miss the game, even if it is only 1 minute.

"..."

It was such a choice again, Judy was silent for a while, and since she had been Kobe's personal doctor for ten years, she couldn't remember how many times Kobe asked to play with injuries.Kobe's tenacious will is admirable, and this is why she agreed to be Kobe's personal doctor.

"I can help you forcefully reposition your finger, spray it with anti-inflammation potion, wrap it in a bandage, and put on finger guards."

Judy carefully looked at Kobe's fingers, and then gave a set of the fastest plan. The approach seemed reckless, but she was confident in her own level, paused, and then said: "It's just that the fingers are still It will be very painful."

"That's not a problem."

Kobe said lightly that he has done things like enduring pain a lot, and in a sense he is used to it. In contrast, he is more worried about whether it will affect his hit rate.

"OK!"

Judy nodded, and then led Kobe to turn his back to the camera, and quickly and skillfully helped Kobe deal with the dislocation of his fingers.

At the same time, on the technical platform to the side, several referees were nervously watching the video and returning to defense. They needed to judge whether Leonard's foul just now was just an ordinary shooting foul.

The star of the team was injured, and while the audience and fans were worried, they were very angry at Leonard who caused this situation.Spontaneously booed deafeningly, and remotely put pressure on the referees, hoping that the referees could give Leonard a heavier sentence.

"Your arm was pressed too hard just now, what's going on?"

Waiting for the referee's final penalty, Yang Ke held a bottle of energy drink and bent over Leonard's side.

Staring at the technical table, Leonard replied: "I changed to an unfamiliar defensive method, and I didn't control it at the first time."

Yang Ke nodded suddenly, and didn't ask any more questions. As a defensive player, he knew very well that what Leonard said was the truth, and it was difficult to completely control the unfamiliar defensive methods.

After a while, the referee put down his earphones, gestured meticulously towards the technical table, and made the final penalty. Kobe got two free throws for an ordinary shooting foul!
This penalty made the fans even more dissatisfied, and as a result, the boos resounded all over the sky!However, the referees are experienced in many battles, and they are not affected by this situation in the slightest. They step onto the court and blow their whistle to announce that the game will continue.

Maybe he also found that the booing didn't work. When Kobe put on two finger protectors on his right hand and walked to the free throw line biting the hem of his clothes, the audience shouted MVP, and there was a tsunami!
Amidst the tidy and vigorous MVP sound, Kobe didn't seem to be affected by the dislocation of his fingers, and he still made two free throws steadily. In terms of score, the Lakers once again overtook the Spurs by two points.

Although Kobe's finger was injured, the Lakers, who had no one to use, could only focus on Kobe's offense. It became more and more difficult.

"Kobe faced Leonard's defense again, and the Spurs didn't double-team Kobe for the entire game..."

"But what shocked me even more is that this year's rookie Leonard did a good job of defending Kobe..."

"Leonard has a pair of long arms, coupled with the skinny body, which made Kobe very uncomfortable..."

"Fortunately, Kobe's hand feeling was not affected by the finger injury, and he kept it firmly above the horizontal line, otherwise the score would be pulled away quickly..."

Halfway through the third quarter, Kobe had already scored [-] points in this quarter alone. This is a very efficient statistic, but the scores of the two teams did not pull apart, and they still only led by two people. Except for Kobe Bryant, only Gasol scored four points for the Lakers.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Ford still led the ball to the frontcourt, but soon Yang Ke reached out to ask for the ball. At this time, he took the initiative to ask for the ball for the first time since the third quarter.

"Crack, crack!"

Yang Ke patted the ball easily, looking at Kobe, who opened his arms in front of him, bent down and lowered his center of gravity, and his eyes were still cold. He had an idea of ​​attacking in singles.

Since Kobe's finger was injured, Yang Ke could clearly feel the decline of Kobe's defensive intensity with the rapid progress of the game. Now Kobe no longer defends him closely, which means that Kobe is already very tired. .

Yang Ke licked his chapped lips with his tongue. After half a quarter of the game, he felt that he had adapted to the impact of the protective gear, and his body function also took the opportunity to recover a lot. Thinking of this, his eyes gradually changed. Sharp, determined to fight this attack by himself.

Yang Ke then bowed his back and leaned forward, holding the ball with both hands naturally received by the left waist, making a coherent and standard striker's attacking start.

But Kobe didn't move at all, he just focused a little bit more. He knew exactly what Yang Ke wanted to do next, which was undoubtedly a tentative move.
