"Actually, the turning point of the game was the 2+1 that Lin came up to play. At that moment, I seemed to see Michael!"

"Haha, I think so too. The most outrageous thing is that Michael is right there!"

"Michael ended up looking for Lin. I don't know if he was looking for trouble with Lin. This was a record-breaking performance in person."

"Actually, I think Michael is happy. He doesn't want his record to hang there forever. That means the level of basketball is declining..."

"Yes, complaints are complaints. Michael is still very enthusiastic about junior players. You can tell from his previous treatment of Kobe."

"The key is 58 points! What a great scoring performance! If the Nets win the championship, Lin will not be able to escape his second FMVP trophy, and now he has a great chance!"

"It just depends on whether Paul can play in G6. If he can't, the Nets will be close to winning the championship!"

"Really, success is Chris, failure is Chris!"

"I still want to ask, why is it 58 points?"

…

Fans were happy to complain on social media, but Paul was feeling extremely depressed in the hospital at this time.

His shoulder was dislocated.

Although it's not very serious, the guaranteed season is cancelled.

This was simply the biggest bad news of his career.

Because if he is not injured, the Lakers' probability of winning the championship is more than 70% conservatively.

But now, it’s hard to tell if it’s even 40%.

This is his closest chance to a championship.

Maybe, it's the last chance.

Because Kobe has shown some physical disadvantages this season, he can only selectively attack or defend.

He was actually upset at the moment.

It's not like Phil Jackson was upset about why he had to play early, but he was upset about why he wanted to pull Lin Ying.

But now there is actually another choice before him.

He just asked the team doctor.

"Can I continue to play if I play closed?"

Sealing, also known as sealing needle, is simply local anesthesia.

After a closed injection, the pain in the injured area will become very mild when you exert force, and you can go on the field.

This type is used for relatively minor injuries.

If you really have a fracture or something, even if you get a magic injection, it won't be of any use.

But the team doctor did not advise Paul to do that.

The reason is very simple, those who have beaten the closed will not end well.

The first well-known player to hit the blockade was Willis Reed. He hit the blockade and staged the earliest and most exciting version of "Return of the King", helping the Knicks win the championship and becoming the first player in NBA history to win the championship at the same time.

Players who won mvp and fmvp.

However, after just two seasons, he went from a 20+10 superstar to a 13+8 quasi-All-Star player, and he sadly retired after four seasons.

Then another well-known player is Tracy McGrady.

Although he had been in and out due to injuries before, he was still an All-Star player.

But after the closed season that year, he immediately became a role player.

Others such as Ibaka, Griffin, Jeffson...

This is not a magic spell, it is just the way it is.

If you don't feel pain, then you are sending the wrong message to your brain.

It's like a gear. It's already broken. You can only keep it in use because you don't dare to use force because you're worried about it breaking.

But now you suddenly don't feel that it is about to break, and you still use it as normal, then the risk of it breaking will naturally increase exponentially.

After struggling for a long time, Paul finally gave up.

Championships are important, but career is more important.

If his career declines rapidly like Tracy McGrady, and he may even die, then what is the point of holding a lonely championship trophy?

Oh no, the championship trophy belongs to the team, and he is not qualified to win it.

The only thing that truly belongs to him is the championship ring and the visible but intangible honor.

Therefore, compared to his entire career, especially for a super giant like him, which means a contract worth one or two billion US dollars, it is not comparable to a ring.

This is a very easy choice to make.

As long as you cross the hurdle in your heart, the choice itself is not difficult at all.

Although, it can still be a bit disappointing.

I just hope Kobe and others can burst out with energy and strive to win this championship.

After all, everyone only has one single core left. Even if the Lakers play away from home, they still have a chance.

…

With a score of 3-2, the Nets returned to Brooklyn.

At the airport, they were greeted by a crowd of fans.

Lin Ying’s big-head KT boards are even more embellished like flowers.

Although the Nets have not yet won the championship, the battle at Tianwang Mountain really made Nets fans feel the toughness of this team.

Even if you only have one core left, you won't give up and try your best to get the chance.

Why shouldn't they love such a home team?

Lin Ying was stunned when he saw this scene.

He remembered what Kobe said before.

"You're building a new basketball nation in Brooklyn."

That doesn’t seem like a rainbow fart!

Delong was also stunned when he saw this scene.

This is completely different from when I played in New Jersey!

Although he also knew that this was because of Lin Ying, at this moment he was extremely eager to win a championship for this city.

Lin Ying had already moved forward, and when he turned around, he realized that Delong had not followed.

"Why are you so stunned? Go back and rest."

Lin Ying turned around and shouted.

He was really a little tired.

And his hands are still swollen from eating carrots.

He only had two days of rest, so he had to hurry up.

Of course, the rest of the Nets must also hurry up.

The same goes for DeLong.

Waving a towel on the sidelines is also very tiring.

Delong came back to his senses, smiled and followed.

…

The situation in the finals suddenly became very good for the Nets.

Because the next two games will be played in Brooklyn.

As long as they can win one game, the championship will belong to the Nets.

That will be the Nets' first championship since entering the NBA.

Think about it, it's very beautiful.

Sloan's training in the past two days was also mainly recovery and basic training.

Because the last game took too much of a toll on the players.

Especially Lin Ying.

The radish he ate was no small matter, it was still swollen two days later.

Fortunately, he went for a checkup to confirm that no bones were injured, which at least ensured that he would be able to play in the next two games.

Maybe he just needs to wear a bandage like Kobe did.
