Away team locker room.

There is a depressing atmosphere permeating the entire Lakers team.

After being pulled back by the Warriors for three consecutive games, Lin Tian didn't know what to say to comfort Howard and the others.

In terms of momentum, the Lakers lost by more than a little.

Without Lin Tian, ​​they had almost no hope for the next tiebreaker.

Soon, the general manager of the public relations department walked into the locker room and asked Lin Tian if he wanted to attend the post-match press conference. Lin Tian shook his head and refused.

He didn't play today, so there was no need to attend the post-match press conference. Moreover, if he had participated, he would have been asked endless questions about injuries.

Oracle Arena media room.

"Coach Scott, after the Western Conference Finals started, you were beaten from 3:0 to 3:3 by the Warriors. Do you feel that your coaching level is overestimated?"

"Next question."

"Since Lin was injured, the Lakers have collapsed across the board. Do you think there is a problem with your coaching? Or are you too dependent on Lin?"

"We do rely too much on Lin. His injury has an obvious impact on us. As for coaching issues, I don't want to say more."

"Can you tell me how Lin is recovering now? I heard that he is already participating in shooting training. Is this true? Will he come back in the tiebreaker?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about Lin's injury. I will ask the team doctor for details after I return."

Scott frowned almost the whole time during the interview. He has been asked countless times about Lin Tian's injury these days.

Every time he spoke in official language without comment, after all, such things should never be said nonsense.

Soon, it was Wade's turn to be interviewed.

"Dwyane, you made 6 of 18 shots today under Clay's defense. Your efficiency was not very high. Do you feel that you were restricted?"

Wade adjusted the microphone: "No, I just didn't feel that good today, but Clay is indeed a difficult opponent."

"After Lin's absence, you have lost three games in a row. How do you feel about going from almost locking in the finals to the current situation?"

"Honestly, this is really hard to accept. Lin's absence is fatal to us! I have played terribly in these games!"

"As the team's main attacker after Lin Tian's absence, you did not lead the team to victory. Do you feel that you have betrayed Lin's trust in you?"

"Yes, all the responsibility lies with me. I don't know how to describe my feelings anymore. This feeling is very uncomfortable." Wade sighed.

"Is Lin's current condition better? Will he come back early in the tiebreaker? Can you give us some news?"

Wade suddenly looked at the reporter angrily: "Didn't you see the injury to his ankle? It's impossible for him to recover early! Don't have any illusions. No player will be injured if he suffers this kind of injury."

You may recover from the injury for a week and then make a hasty comeback!"

…

Lin Tian watched the team's post-match press conference in the hotel.

Wade's speech made him deeply moved.

He couldn't help but glance at his left foot.

There are still two days left before the start of G7. In these two days, his injury will definitely recover to some extent, but it is impossible to recover very well.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to play in G7 with such an injury! But the current situation makes him have to consider playing in G7!

He opened Penguin Sports and found out that the Eastern Conference champion had been announced tonight.

The Cavaliers led by James defeated the Celtics led by Thomas and stood at the top of the Eastern Conference for the third consecutive season.

If Lin Tian hadn't deleted it, they would have eliminated the Warriors long ago and met the Cavaliers in the finals.

But now, everything is cast into a shadow.

I experienced a sleepless night.

After getting on the special plane to Los Angeles the next day, Lin Tian said to Scott in front of all the players: "Coach, I can play in G7!"

As soon as these words came out, all the players including Wade, Howard, Nick Young and others stood up and looked at Lin Tian.

Nick Young came over first and said excitedly: "Lin! Are you crazy! You can't walk very well now and you still want to play ball?"

Howard also looked puzzled: "Now is not the time to joke, you definitely can't participate in basketball yet!"

Kupchak hurried over, turned his gaze to Lin Tian, ​​and said earnestly: "Lin, I can understand your mood now. I feel the same as you. The team lost and everyone was sad, but not now."

When you are impulsive, your injury is serious. G7 is definitely not the best time for you to pay. The only way you can help your teammates is to bring strength to everyone on the bench."

Lin Tian shook his head: "I didn't sleep all night last night. I know how to really help the team! I'm ready to play at any time! Maybe my condition is not at its best, but I believe I can play.

His role is more than just waving the towel on the bench."

Kupchak also fell into deep thought, and after a while he said: "Everyone of us hopes that the team can win the championship again! But compared to the present, we want to win in the future. If you take the risk of coming back, the consequences may be

You can't bear it, and the team can't bear it, and it's not up to you whether you can come back or not. It has to be examined and reviewed by the team doctor. Only if you pass their examination can you play."

Lin Tian spread his hands: "Don't tell me these useless things. I want to fight, and no one can stop me!"

"Don't worry. After returning to Los Angeles, I will gather the team doctors and assistant coaching staff for a meeting. The boss will also show up. We will discuss your injury together first. If after the team doctor's evaluation, I think you can play, no one will

Will stop you." Kupchak said urgently.

Lin Tian nodded, knowing that this was not a joke.

After the special plane landed in Los Angeles, the players immediately returned to the Staples Center for training.

Lin Tian also started recovery training.

An hour into the recovery training, he attended the meeting arranged by Buss Jr.

More than a dozen people, including team doctors and the training team, attended the meeting.

The final suggestion they gave was that Lin Tian was not suitable to play in any games.

But Lin Tian insisted on playing.

In the end, everyone reached an agreement after discussion and decided to wait and see for two days, waiting for the day when G7 starts to determine whether Lin Tian wants to play.

In the evening, the Lakers released the latest injury report on the official media: Lin Tian is doubtful for Game 7.

As soon as this injury report was released, it instantly ignited the excitement of fans. In less than a minute, the number of comments below exceeded 10,000.

"Doubtful to play in the game? Does this mean that Lin Tian has hope to play in G7?"
