Chapter 523

The next morning, accompanied by Gary Vitti, Xu Tian went to the Oakland Eye Hospital to have his eyes checked again.

Xu Tian hardly fell asleep last night, and there was always a feeling of sand in his eyes. When he got up this morning and looked in the mirror, one side of each eye was completely occupied by blood.He originally thought that the situation would be much better than last night, but unfortunately things went against his expectations, and the congestion did not subside quickly.

The chief physician made a comprehensive examination for Xu Tian, ​​and gave the diagnosis result. There was only blood in both eyes, without any tissue damage. He asked him to rest more and use his eyes as little as possible after returning home.

Xu Tian was relieved when he heard the doctor's words.He was very afraid of structural damage to his eyes, and he would basically be unable to play games in such a short period of time.

Lakers players and fans are nervously waiting for the news.Now almost everyone knows that the reason why the Lakers are able to compete for the championship is entirely because of the existence of the dominant Xu Tian. If he cannot play due to injuries, he basically has no hope of winning the championship.

Gary Vitti sent the results of Xu Tian's inspection to Lakers owner Jenny Buss, who then sent the news to her official spokesperson, Ramona, and asked Ramona to release the news that Xu Tian's eyes were unobstructed to online.

When Lakers fans saw this news, they were basically similar to Xu Tian, ​​and a stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.

Although Kobe was also very worried about Xu Tian's situation, he still focused more on organizing training. The focus was on George's double-team defense drill.

Although it's a bit cramped now, it's only good for the Lakers to let George adapt a little bit in training, not bad.

The Lakers team reporter has been paying attention to the news, and immediately shared the news that Xu Tian's eyes are fine, so that everyone can no longer worry about it and concentrate on training.

Xu Tian took a taxi and returned to the training venue with Gary Vitti to continue regular training.He starts with strength training and tries to keep his eyes from getting bloodshot.

After the strength training is over, it is the first set of shooting training to enhance the shooting stability under fatigue. The NBA has a lot of confrontational intensity and physical exertion, especially Xu Tian, ​​a top shooter at the core level of the team, often needs to make key shots when he is extremely tired. Without usual training, he can't resist at all.

Kobe would pay attention to Xu Tian's training situation from time to time to see if there was anything he didn't adapt to.This reminded him of last summer, when he trained Xu Tian from head to toe.

The Lakers reporter was notified by the team staff that they could conduct interviews after training, but they could not ask Xu Tian about his eyes.This is what Xu Tian told the team staff in particular, because he didn't want to talk about injuries, he just wanted to talk about the outcome.

Whatever happened to last night's game, they've already lost one and are now trailing the Warriors 0-1 by a wide margin.

In the training of the Warriors, Steve Kerr felt that the players were a little slack and was very dissatisfied. He stopped the training halfway, called the players to the sidelines, and said: "Guys! We just won a game, or With Xu injured and unable to show his strength, such a big victory does not mean that we are much better than them. Your training attitude makes me feel like I have won the series, which is not good."

Draymond Green is the most passionate player of the Warriors, and he is also an example in training. He took the initiative to take the blame and said: "Coach, it is my fault. I shouldn't be lazy in training."

Steve Kerr said earnestly: "Xu has basically won all the important honors in the regular season, and his performance in the first two rounds of the series is no less than that of Michael Jordan. There is no reason not to pay attention to such an opponent. Then, let’s continue training.”

Draymond Green was stimulated by Steve Kerr's words that Xu Tian was like Jordan, and he took the lead in intensity, so that the training was finally on the right track.

Luke Walton was mainly in charge of tactics, and did not participate in the atmosphere adjustment. He stood on the sidelines and watched the players run tactics, looking for what was not well done.

ESPN is doing a special program again, replaying G1 of the Lakers Warriors series last night, to see if there are any suggestions that can be provided to both sides.

Paul Pierce and McGrady were invited as guests, and each gave advice on the Lakers and Warriors.

Pierce believes that there are not many adjustments that the Warriors need to make. As long as the overall lineup is strengthened, they will be able to advance to the finals with great confidence.He believes that the Lakers are currently too dependent on Xu Tian, ​​which has caused George to be unable to perform at the level he used to play in the Pacers. This will be a big hidden danger for the Lakers.

McGrady agrees with Pierce's views on the Warriors, but disagrees with the Lakers.He believes that Xu Tian is an undoubted superstar, and he should take advantage of this when the opponent cannot defend no matter what tactics he uses.

Pierce and Tracy McGrady had a lengthy debate at the end of the show about whether the Lakers were better or worse than the Warriors, making the show look effective.This is the usual routine of ESPN, and the ratings are guaranteed.

After the Lakers' team training ended, the players went to interviews separately, talking about last night's game and their expectations for the next game.

Xu Tian spent some time in the morning seeing a doctor, and there was still a long time before the end of training.But he doesn't care about these, he cares more about how the game will go.

Two hours later, Xu Tian finished the hell-level personal training, wiped off the sweat on his body, waited for his breathing to calm down, and walked to the sidelines to accept interviews from the media reporters.

During the interview, the reporters resisted the urge to ask him how his eyes were recovering and just asked some routine questions.They knew that as long as the word Xu Tian was in the news signature, the attention would never be low.

In the evening, Boss Jin called to ask Xu Tian the specific location of the Lakers away hotel, and came to visit Xu Tian instead of Alice.Seeing the obvious bruises in Xu Tian's eyes, he felt a little distressed, and he dared not tell Alice. He only said that everything was fine and had returned to normal.

Boss Jin and Xu Tian were alone, and both of them still felt a little uncomfortable. After confirming the situation, Boss Jin drove back to the hotel where he was staying.

The second game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics started at night. Xu Tian turned on the TV, lay on the sofa, and listened to the commentator with his eyes closed.

Stimulated by Xu Tian's explosive performance in the first two rounds of the series, James showed his intensity at the beginning. He scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half. He and Irving led the team together, leading the Celtics by 17 points into the second half.

The commentator said: "LeBron has led the team to the Finals for the past five years, and he is the king of the Eastern Conference. Even the Celtics, known for their iron blood, may not be able to cause them trouble."
