In the fourth game against the Spurs, Iverson did not play.
His injury was still a bit broken in the bridge of his nose, but it was not serious enough to require surgery, but the doctor advised him to rest and recuperate.
After beating the Spurs 4:0, the Los Angeles Lakers got at least 8 days of rest.
Because the Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Clippers the day before, May 7, with a total score of 2:1.
Even if it is May 9th the next day, if they beat the Los Angeles Clippers again, it will be 3:1 and they will have to play another game.
So at the earliest, the first game of the Western Conference Finals will not start until May 16, eight days later.
If the Golden State Warriors lose another game, the game won't start until May 17th.
It's just that according to the current state of the Golden State Warriors and the strength of the Los Angeles Clippers, there is a limit to what they can do to get back a game and save some face for themselves.
Thinking that he could rest for about ten days and would definitely be able to catch up with the Western Conference Finals, Iverson was relieved to play without a mask.
Moreover, Iverson was not flustered.
During this time, he has been drinking the bone marrow cleansing decoction given by Shen Huan, and his body bones have become much stronger.
Even when Iverson came down to talk to Kobe and Shen Huan, he directly said that Ginobili was very strong, and the bridge of his nose was a very fragile place, but it was not broken even though he was drinking. Because of the marrow cleansing decoction that strengthens muscles and bones.
Kobe was convinced.
Shen Huan thought it made sense.
So in the remaining few days, with the nourishment of the bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing decoction, Iverson's nose bone injury repaired much faster than usual.
For this reason, Iverson begged Shen Huan to let him drink the bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing decoction for one more week.
"I think I can bear it, and I'm still injured, so I can drink more."
After Iverson, Kobe also said with a shy face: "I still think so, we are almost 40 years old, we can't compare with you Shen Huan! So take more nourishing food and you won't overdose at all!"
Shen Huan finally agreed.
The two of them didn't know that this was already an intermediate-level bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing decoction, which was at least 50% more effective than before.
But even though the effectiveness of this dose has improved so much, and it has been almost a month, it has not fully made up for the losses and injuries suffered by the two in the regular season.
So Shen Huan knew that they actually worked very hard during the regular season.
I worked so hard that I couldn’t even make up for it.
If they encounter a bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing decoction that has not been upgraded, I am afraid they will only be able to use it as half-stars.
It was easy to say that they met the Trail Blazers and Spurs in front of them, but when they met the dominant Golden State Warriors and Cavaliers, it was basically a disaster.
After all, no matter how good Shen Huan is, there are experts on his team who can compare with Duncan.
And the overall strength of the remaining players can crush the Lakers led by Kobe and Iverson, who have incomplete strength.
Although basketball strongly advocates heroism, one person still cannot beat five people.
Fortunately, Shen Huan was lucky enough to get an upgraded version of the bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing formula in advance, while Kobe and Iverson were better off and could receive better nourishment and repair.
This is why Shen Huan feels that if they drink the bone-strengthening and marrow-cleansing decoction for another week, the effect will be better.
It's really not that Shen Huan doesn't want them to drink it all the time, every day.
It's not that Kobe and Iverson can't persevere.
But drinking too much of such a tonic decoction is really harmful to the body, and Shen Huan doesn't want them to have any side effects.
Hao Ye is still very reliable when it comes to big issues.
He said that drinking it for two months a year is enough, but drinking too much would have side effects.
With the consumption status of Kobe and Iverson, as well as their older age, increasing the amount of soup for a week is already the limit of what Shen Huan can do.
…
The Lakers eliminated the Spurs 4-0, which caused quite a stir in the outside world.
A pseudo-rich team that was supposed to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs actually counterattacked all the way and rushed directly into the Western Conference Finals and was about to fight the Golden State Warriors. This was something no one could have imagined before.
Even the Lakers fans themselves feel that they are successful if they can reach the second round.
But they didn't expect that their team would actually defeat the Trail Blazers and Spurs with two 4-0 scores, and enter the Western Conference Finals with their heads held high.
The most important thing is that in the eight games of these two rounds, neither the young guards of the Trail Blazers nor the old and tough veterans of the Spurs had any room to struggle. They were beaten wildly by the Lakers. The score was cut and sent directly back to his hometown.
The day after the game, Duncan announced his decision to retire.
A generation of superstars has come to an end, and it is a bit sad to be swept away in this tragic pattern.
However, which strong person has not successfully reached the top while standing in front of the corpse of a powerful opponent
Duncan's retirement directly created Shen Huan's reputation as the best rookie in NBA history.
Of all the rookies in the regular season this season, none can perform as magically as Shen Huan.
Even among all the player superstars, none of the statistics and status are as crazy as Shen Huan.
Even LeBron James himself admitted in an interview that he could not beat Duncan to that level, even if Duncan is 40 years old.
For a time, Shen Huan was considered to be very popular.
The general managers of all the teams called Shen Huan.
But what surprised them was that Shen Huan didn't answer a single call, which made them confused.
If these people were in China, they would know that this is also Shen Huan's habit.
He never cared much about business matters.
There is no way, these general managers can only frequently send messages through Kobe, Iverson, and even Miley Cyrus and Elizabeth.
"Duncan called me and asked if you are willing to sign a five-year, $170 million contract? He feels that you still need to hone yourself in many aspects, and he is willing to stay with you and help you grow! And they didn't State personal income tax!”
"The general manager of the Trail Blazers said that their boss admires you very much. They are willing to give you a five-year contract worth 190 million US dollars and promise you the rights to become the team's number one superstar."
"The conditions offered by the New York Knicks to you are a four-year contract worth 160 million US dollars. You can get all the firing rights and autonomy in the New York Knicks, and New York has the most powerful media resources, which can make your Commercial value is developed to a greater extent!”
"The owner of the Los Angeles Clippers is former Microsoft CEO Paulson. They asked me to ask you, is a four-year, $170 million contract okay? If not, we can talk about it again!"
"The Miami Heat's contract is really generous. They will give you a three-year, US$150 million contract! As long as you sign the contract, their boss will also give you a huge estate with a private beach."
The five contracts mentioned above are the contracts with the highest and best conditions selected.
Obviously, they all knew that the five-year, 200 million contract offered by the Lakers to Shen Huan was rejected.
After all, many things in the NBA cannot be hidden from others.
Therefore, those who are confident in making an offer have at least promised a contract of similar value, and they must also add the position of the team boss - in the Lakers, as long as Kobe Bryant does not retire, he will always be the boss.
They felt that Shen Huan's character definitely didn't want to be the second child for so many years, so the position of the boss was worth a lot of money.
In comparison, the US$170 million offered by the San Antonio Spurs is not high at all, but the assistance and guidance of Duncan, who retired as a coach, can be worth at least US$30 million, so this is also a high-quality contract.
But if you look closely, none of them have given a contract for more than five years.
The Miami Heat dared to offer 50 million a year, but only signed a three-year contract! !
If Shen Huan hadn't played so amazingly now, and everyone's salary cap would have increased significantly next season, they wouldn't have come so crazy to grab Shen Huan.
Everyone usually waits and watches, at least watching a complete season of Shen Huan, before deciding whether to make a big bet.
Even now, NBA team general managers are still very worried, fearing that after two or three years of high performance, Shen Huan will quickly decline and will not be able to last.
In the history of the NBA, there are not too many geniuses who are so amazing and brilliant, but who pass by like shooting stars.
Injuries, status, ability ceiling, temper, concentration and other issues are all important factors that restrict these young and famous geniuses from going further.
Only when Shen Huan develops the stable and powerful leadership ability of Jordan will he truly get a huge contract!
