Gasol's sudden injury caught not only the Spanish team by surprise, but also Liu Mang.

He was looking forward to watching the showdown between the two teams, but he didn't expect Gasol to be injured!

Gasol's injury has nothing to do with confrontation, being fouled, etc., nor does it have much to do with the Greek team. It is purely caused by long-term fatigue. In the original time and space, he was injured after the semifinals. It may be

Because I had to fight against the grumpy little shark of the Greek team in advance, I was a little ahead of schedule.

Gasol was carried back to the locker room on a stretcher, and the game still had to continue.

The head coach of the Spanish team can only temporarily adjust the lineup. Gasol usually plays 37-8 minutes in a game. Especially against such a strong team, it is normal for Gasol to play the entire game.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Gasol was a little panicked without his older brother. The Greek team launched a wave of counterattacks. Just when the point difference was narrowed to 3 points, Gasol returned to the sideline with a cane and did not follow the team doctor's instructions.

He suggested going to the hospital for a detailed examination, and he wanted to watch his teammates finish the game.

Gasol's return, although with a cane, gave Spanish players a great encouragement.

After returning from the timeout, the Spanish team, led by Gasol and Calderon, launched a 14-6 scoring shock wave, scoring in six consecutive attacks, especially the seemingly clumsy Gasol in singles inside.

He used his deft footsteps to cause two fouls on the opponent's center Papadopoles, causing the opponent to leave the field with five fouls. The Spanish team regained the upper hand!

In the end, the Spanish team narrowly defeated the Greek team 84 to 77 and advanced to the final!

However, Gasol, the dominant player of the Spanish team under the World Basketball Federation rules, was injured, which cast a shadow on the Spanish team's championship.

…

"..."

After the game, Liu Mang watched Yao Ming go to the Spanish team's locker room to find Gasol, and didn't know what to say.

The Spanish team left as if they had won as if they had lost.

Liu Mang is indeed very sorry. Gasol's injury is unknown, and the impact on the Spanish team is not limited to this World Championship. If Gasol's injury is too serious, it is likely to affect the rise of the Spanish team.

However, Liu Mang knew that Gasol might be the same as in the original time and space, except that his metatarsal bone was injured, which would heal in a few months, and Gasol would sometimes not play in the World Championships, European Championships, and European Cups in the future.

Their blue federation is afraid of exhausting Gasol. This injury is actually a good thing from the perspective of Gasol's career and national team career, and it has sounded a wake-up call for the Spanish blue federation.

Liu Mang regrets that he cannot play against the strongest Spanish team.

but……

Although Liu Mang felt a little sorry for Gasol in his heart, he still felt... he was a little lucky...

Your country’s hopes of winning the championship have become even greater!

…

…

At night, reporters outside the hospital where Gasol was waiting for treatment got the first-hand news.

Gasol fractured the fourth metatarsal and required surgery. The expected recovery time is six to eight weeks.

An American reporter reported that Lakers owner Jerry Buss rushed to Japan with his team doctor to prepare to take Gasol to Germany for re-examination and better treatment.

This is why NBA clubs don’t like their players to participate in national team games and why David Stern doesn’t want to help the American Blues Association invite NBA players. Many African-American players have many injuries and have nothing to do with NBA games. On the contrary,

I was tired and injured in the national team.

Some fans originally expected that Gasol's foot injury was just a flaw, that is, he couldn't play at the time, but a break would not affect the finals, but it turned out to be a fracture.

People can't help but sigh that the Chinese team is so lucky this year!

The Chinese team defeated Spain two years ago, but Calderon was not that good at that time, and Gasol was a little worse than he is now. Gasol was still playing in the high school league at Lausanne College in Memphis in the United States, and he was not as good as he is now.

ability.

But without Gasol, the Chinese team's Liu Mang and Yao Ming are stronger than two years ago, and the Chinese team's collective performance is also better than two years ago. Gasol is injured, and the Chinese team's chances of winning suddenly increase infinitely!

…

"Paul, don't worry. Modern medicine is very advanced. You will be fine soon. I heard that orthopedics in Germany is very good." Liu Mang consoled him.

"Ace, thank you for worrying about me. Yes, sports medicine in Germany is very good. I used to come here when I was injured. You can also learn about it, Ace." Gasol said movedly, although Liu Mang said that modern medicine and

When Gasol said the words "German Orthopedics", he felt that the other party had a strange expression. However, Liu Mang, as his opponent in the finals and possibly the main rival in the NBA in the future, came to the hospital to see him. He was really touched and surprised.

You just need to understand. Liu Mang felt that Gasol's words were well-intentioned and athletes would inevitably get injured, but it just sounded weird.

Liu Mang and Gasol had a brief chat and then left, leaving Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Gasol to talk more. They were teammates on the same team.

When Liu Mang left, he met Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Bai Fumei Jeannie Buss. He said hello without much conversation. Liu Mang was not a Lakers player and was photographed chatting again by reporters.

If it becomes news, just think of it as helping the Lakers save a $500,000 fine.

September 2nd is the day for the bronze medal match between the Greek team and the American team. It is also the last rest day for the Chinese team and the Spanish team in this World Championship. The World Championship final will be held tomorrow.

In the morning, Liu Mang and Director Zhang asked for leave to go to the hospital with Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi to see Gasol.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi wanted to know more about Gasol's injury, while Liu Mang simply came to learn more about German orthopedics... but they knew more about German orthopedics than he did.

Liu Mang returned alone to the training venue arranged by Japan for the Chinese team in Saitama Prefecture. His teammates were very excited today. Although there are some things that cannot be said out loud,... this is really a good opportunity to win the championship!

Liu Mang devoted himself to training, Silver Fox Harris and Zhang coached Guo Shiqiang, and Li Nan also emphasized not to be careless.

Especially the three veterans, Guo Shiqiang, Li Nan, and Zhang Jingsong, have retired from professional basketball after the club games this season. I didn't expect that they would have a chance to win the championship by accompanying the boys in a world championship game!

There is a saying that goes, "You must win if you lose your troops." The Spanish team showed such resilience in the second half of the fourth quarter when they played Greece. In terms of role players, the Spanish team has many players with ability evaluations between 75-80.

It is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

It seems that the greater the chance of winning, the more serious you must be and not let your mentality go wrong.

After Liu Mang got over that period of excitement, he also knew that he couldn't be careless!

For the Chinese team in this World Championship final, if they win, other countries and even domestic fans will think it is normal. If they lose... I guess it will be a big problem!

Especially the domestic fans!

But Liu Mang feels a little happy that people already regard them as a truly strong team!

It is not easy to win the Spanish team without Gasol, but many people take it for granted. This makes Liu Mang feel that the efforts of the two World Series, the investment of star cards, etc. are all worth it.

Not in vain!

From a basketball perspective, Liu Mang has made a lot of contributions to his motherland!

Liu Mang adjusted his mentality from the regret of not being able to compete with Gasol and devoted himself to training.

Win the championship first!
Chapter completed!
