Chapter 94 The Overlord

Ramsay made a mistake with his player rotation, Walton came on the court a bit too early.

This led to Walton having to leave the court for a rest shortly after the start of the second quarter, as he couldn't play for too long because his knee couldn't take it.

After the Western Conference Finals ended, Walton's knee and ankle both had varying degrees of swelling, the seven-game series had taken a toll on him.

Therapist Calvin spent two hours daily providing physical therapy to Walton, helping to relax and alleviate the pain and discomfort in his legs.

Clearly, for Walton, an old machine, to have played a full 82-game regular season and then perform the way he had during the playoffs was nearly at his limit.

On the other hand, the Celtics, who had the Best Sixth Man, Marques Johnson, were still able to maintain a high level of intensity during their second-quarter rotations.
