Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1041 Injury Frenzy, Goodbye, Yellow Mamba

Losing a game is not terrible, as long as the team stays healthy.

After losing this game, D'Antoni officially changed the team's strategy, from dominating the regular season to attacking the playoffs.

The first priority for the playoffs is to keep the team healthy, so Cole and the others are studying the team's rest strategy.

Anyway, 36 wins and 2 losses is very stable in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Even the top four is already very stable. After all, the Bulls, who are second in the Eastern Conference, only have a record of 30 wins and 8 losses, behind the Knicks.

6 wins, and the Heat are 12 games behind. Although the Celtics defeated the Knicks, being 15 games behind almost announced that they could not catch up with the Knicks.

Under such circumstances, as long as the rest is not excessive, the league can't say anything. After all, the shortened season and intensive schedule are largely to blame for injuries.

It’s not just Curry. There are really a lot of injuries in the NBA this season. Although there are no major injuries that will be reimbursed for the entire season, players from all walks of life are also suffering from minor injuries.

For example, before the All-Star Game, Wade rested for three games due to knee problems, and Garnett missed half of the games due to knee injuries, which ultimately led to his failure to be selected for the All-Star Game. As for other unknown players, there were even more injuries.

For example, the Trail Blazers, except for five starters at the beginning of the season, did not have all the players healthy in any subsequent games.

Here, I once again lament that the pioneer veterinarian is well-deserved.

However, "Yellow Mamba" Roy, who had to retire early due to injury in November last year, is back again this season and has played 7 games so far. Although his condition is not the same as in his peak period, he can be seen on the court again.

Roy's figure is still very happy.

The golden boy was even more miserable. During a change of direction, he clutched his knees and fell to the ground in pain. It is said that the whole audience heard his screams.

One can imagine the anger of Timberwolves fans. After the game, fans also criticized the league's schedule, believing that such an arrangement was definitely based on defense.

…

"How's it going?"

This game has already seen this trend. Although Leonard only had 12 points, his defense prevented Dragic and Danny Green from performing well. The defensive gates of later generations have already begun to show their prowess.

It's just a pity that God gave him too little time.

However, it was the Spurs who were secretly growing and won in the end. At the last moment, Ginobili's two weird three-pointers gave the Spurs a 2-point advantage and took away the victory.

“OHNO…”

But unfortunately, the world has changed, but it seems that it has not changed. In the next month, the NBA ushered in a terrifying injury spree!

If Roy can return to the game in this life, even if his condition is not restored to his previous state, it will be good.

But the next day, former captain Baron Davis was really injured. He sprained his foot during the game and is expected to be absent for half a month.

Then there's Kaman, who injured his knee in training...

Facts have proved that Rubio was not exaggerating. During a later examination, Rubio was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and the season was canceled early.

Love injured his wrist in a confrontation, which will cause him to miss the next month.

Many Trail Blazers fans are hoping that Roy can realize his dream of the playoffs this time.

I can only say that he is worthy of Popovich. This also reminded Zuo Li that Popovich and the Spurs should not be underestimated at any time. Forget this season, the Spurs will usher in the next few seasons.

It's the second spring, and he is the Knicks' biggest opponent.

Zuo Li admired this very much. Compared with many so-called celebrities who talk nonsense in the media every day to gain attention for fame and money, Roy is a truly pure basketball person. He really loves basketball.

Zuo Li is also looking forward to it, because he remembers that in the last life Roy came back and played only five games before retiring due to injury, and this time it is forever. Not only that, the low-key Roy did not use his fame to become famous, nor did he

Choosing the path that most celebrities take after retiring, he instead plunged into the grassroots and became a high school basketball coach. From then on, he stayed away from disputes and the media, and gradually disappeared from the mainstream view.

On March 5, the Knicks lost back-to-back games to the Spurs, losing two consecutive games for the first time this season.

With such a move, the Timberwolves, which had just made some progress, will be in trouble again.

Facts have proved that this trick is very effective. Zuo Li scored 48 points and 20 rebounds against Bonner in a super double-double. On the offensive end, he basically got whatever he wanted, and he could do whatever he wanted. After this game, Zuo Li was on the scoring and rebounding charts.

It also directly overtook the second position, and is only one step away from the top spot.

It won't be long before Leonard will grow into the core of this Spurs, and there will be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Before the game, Zuo Li also exchanged pleasantries with Roy. The two were selected as All-Stars the same year, so they have always had a good relationship.

Roy was dribbling and fell without confrontation.

However, in the second half, when the commentators were discussing whether Roy was back, a heart-wrenching scene happened again.

This goal reminded countless Chinese fans of Roy's buzzer-beating shot against the Rockets.

"I also suffered a lot from Golden Boy. I was selected but couldn't get in. After finally getting in, I suffered such a serious injury in my first season." Zuo Li, who learned the news, also felt sorry for Rubio. Golden Boy will not be able to play in the future.

It also has something to do with the fact that he was seriously injured when he first entered the league.

Zuo Li also realized the horror of a shortened season. There are probably not many teams in the league without injuries.

After the game, Zuo Li, who became the leader of today's air-cutting group, said helplessly: "The Spurs are too thief. I was fooled. I have no reason not to play Bonner inside, and the team has no reason not to play for me. This makes us

The outside line didn't perform as well as it should."

Popovich gave full play to his coaching characteristics in this game, and highlighted an abstraction. He actually started Bonner and replaced Duncan.

But on this day, what was supposed to come finally came.

Of course, while Zuo Li expressed regret for this, he also expressed doubts. After all, Bobo had too many ways to take turns.

"Not bad, be careful, don't lose tonight."

During the game, Roy was also very excited, and he played at his peak in several attacks in the first half.

However, the Knicks' loss today is not the biggest news, because in the previous games, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves and Rubio, the European golden boy who finally entered the NBA, were injured at the same time.

In one offense, he even hit a long-range three-pointer against Zuo Li's block.

Just two days later, on the night the Knicks defeated the Magic in an away game to end their two-game losing streak, the Spurs announced that Duncan would be out for a week due to plantar fasciitis.

When the Knicks faced the Trail Blazers at home on March 15, eight players were already missing due to injuries, and two players were reimbursed due to injuries.

"Roy... was injured again..."

Seeing Roy being helped off the field by his teammates, Zuo Li had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Zuo Li saw the official news from the Trail Blazers the next day.

McIlroy will undergo surgery again, and he himself chooses to retire for the second time.
