Great Western Forum Arena, Los Angeles, California.

The first round of the Western Conference playoffs officially began.

The Phoenix Suns, led by Larry Nance, came to the home court of the Lakers.

In the first round of the playoffs, which is still 5 games and 3 wins, the chance of upsetting in the first round is the largest.

So every game is extremely important for both sides.

The Forum Arena is bustling, and the first playoff game of the season, despite the disparity in strength between the two sides, the arena is still overcrowded.

Players from the Lakers and Suns walked into the arena one after another wearing training clothes.

In the center of the court, a Laker girl in a cool bikini waving a colored ball in her hand and dancing sexy and hot.

As the first team in the NBA to introduce cheerleaders, the Lakers have always been at the forefront of the selection and training of cheerleaders.

Every visiting team that plays at home for the Lakers is a feast for the eyes.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of young girls with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I have to admit that rich people can play, and Old Bass's vision is indeed good.

The cheerleaders on the field were still dancing, and the host on the scene began to introduce the players in turn.

The Suns' main lineup is playmaker guard Kyle Maisie, shooting guard Mike Holden, small forward Larry Nance, power forward Alvin Adams, and center James Edwards.

The overall roster is indeed mediocre compared to the Lakers' roster.

The only counterpoint that could have a slight advantage is Larry Nance at small forward.

At 2.08 meters, he can not only blossom inside and outside, but also move between the 3rd and 4th positions, which may cause a lot of defensive pressure on James Worthy.

At the beginning of the game, Edwards stole the ball from Abdul-Jabbar.

The Suns are the first to attack!

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Larinance hit a small throw from the basket to win the Suns!

On the Lakers' side, Magic Johnson advanced the offense, and Zhou Chen bypassed the no-ball defense and came to the flank position to receive the ball!

Facing Holden's one-man defense, Zhou Chen did not hesitate and directly stopped the jump shot sideways!

Effortless and easy!

For the Lakers also in color!

As the scoring champion of this season, everyone knows the rookie's terrifying scoring ability, especially in the second half of the season, no one dares to give Zhou Chen a chance to play 1.

In the first round, the Suns paid the price for their defensive carelessness.

Looking back, Larinance repeated his old tricks, facing Worthy's defense, and wanted to play directly!

But Zhou Chen's timely assistance in defense made him have a dribbling error!

The Lakers seized the opportunity to set off a quick counterattack!

The magician dribbled the ball in the backcourt and directly struck a long pass from a long distance to Zhou Chen!

Worthy's follow-up is also incredibly fast!

The front court forms a 3-on-2 chance!

Having learned the lesson of the goal just now, the Suns naturally couldn't give Zhou Chen a chance to play 1!

The 2 defenders in front of the court instantly came up!

Zhou Chen fake the true biography! Delivered the ball directly to Worthy, who followed up!

The latter followed up with a violent buckle! Overtook the score for the Lakers!

This time the attack, the Lakers' tacit understanding is seamless, there is no flaw, and the entire offensive process is less than 10 seconds.

Catching opponents' mistakes and making quick offensive counterattacks is exactly the tactical system that the Lakers are best at and are most proud of at the moment.

Especially the trident in the backcourt, Magic, Zhou Chen and James Worthy, the three are intertwined, complementary styles, and one is indispensable.

Just as Zhou Chen was about to return to defense, he suddenly heard the referee stop the game!

"What's the situation?" He was a little confused, the game had only started less than 2 minutes.

Looking back, he found that Worthy, who had just finished the violent buckle, was lying on the ground in pain, covering his knees.

Abdul-Jabbar and Rambis, two interior linemen, were standing beside him, asking something worriedly.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen and the magician hurried back to the backfield to check on Worthy's injuries!

I saw Worthy's expression was very painful, his forehead was sweating, his hands covered his left leg and knee, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Judging from the replay from the scene, after Worthy finished the dunk, he accidentally sprained his knee without physical confrontation.

"I'm wasted! I'm wasted! Worthy

seemed to sense the seriousness of his injury and cried out in pain.

Once spent a year with Worthy in North Carolina, Zhou Chen knew that Worthy's injury this time was not for nothing.

Before the start of the 1982 NCAA season, Worthy suffered a knee injury at training camp, and that time it was also a left leg.

Originally diagnosed by the team doctor as a season reimbursement, Worthy forced his comeback in the middle of the season in order to fulfill his college championship dream, when he announced that his knee was completely fine.

After playing for most of the season, and finally winning the championship, Worthy's injury did not recur, and people slowly forgot about it.

Worthy has been in good health for several seasons with the Lakers, and after a few regular season breaks this season, he has not heard of a recurrence of a knee injury.

However, no one expected that in the first game of the playoffs, the Lakers would encounter a thunderbolt!

They are aiming for a championship this season, and the injury to the main small forward has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Lakers' playoff prospects.

Many Lakers fans at the scene have begun to stand up and pray for Worthy.

Although Worthy's position in the Lakers ranks behind Magic, Zhou Chen, and Abdul-Jabbar, he is also an indispensable part of the Lakers' offensive and defensive system, and he is also known as a man born of big scenes.

After a while, the Lakers team doctor carried Worthy off the court on a stretcher for examination and treatment.

What is certain is that Worthy will not return this game, and from his painful expression, you can see that the probability is that the season will be reimbursed.

In this series with the Suns, the Lakers were originally equal to the Suns in the small forward position, after all, opposite the peak dunk king Larinance.

Worthy's injury retirement will undoubtedly make the Lakers' forward position worse.

The 32-year-old veteran, Jamal "Silk" Wilkes, was temporarily substituted to replace Worthy.

The game goes on!

The Suns saw Worthy go off the court and targeted the weakness of the Lakers' forward position.

Continue to give the main offense to Larinans, constantly tearing the Lakers' flank defense.

Nance and Edwards burst out and led the Suns to a 12-0 mini-climax over the next four minutes, forcing the Lakers to call the first timeout of the game.
