"Help me up." Roger extended his hand.
With the support of his teammates, Roger stood up again, but his expression could no longer return to normal.
Even more surprising, Roger's next attempt at a jump shot after a left breakthrough almost entirely missed, barely hitting the front of the rim.
"I think Roger's injury might be serious. His shot was way too short. Did the collision just cause a more severe problem with Roger's right rib?" Mike Breen stood up nervously; this could very well be the turning point of the game.
Toni Kukoc was also worried. If Roger's injury truly worsens, the outcome of Game 7 remains uncertain.
He wondered, if the Knicks won the championship, would they give a ring to Kobe as well? If it weren't for Kobe's desperate collision in the Western Finals, the situation wouldn't be this dire.
With 41 seconds left, Warriors are trailing by 1 point. If they can't reverse the score again, it would mean losing their last chance.
