Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"What?! Stop fighting?!!!"

Curry, who came to the hospital for a review the next night, was so excited that he almost stood up from his wheelchair after learning about the decision made by the coaching staff. If Ayesha, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, hadn't pressed Curry's hand quickly.

Going back, I guess this second injury won’t have to wait until the next game.

I saw Curry staring angrily, his face like a primary school student turned red, and his big eyes were filled with doubts. Maybe Curry has never been so speechless at this moment in his life.

Isn't it just a sprained foot? It's not a big deal. As for reimbursing him directly, your grandfather can't be Zhao Benshan!

"I'm sorry, but... yes, Stephen, I'm afraid this is true. You may need to say goodbye to the regular season." D'Antoni said helplessly.

No one knows what kind of storm Curry is going through at this time, but——

It is estimated that no one fully understands D'Antoni's helplessness when he was dragged out of bed by Zuo Li at 7 o'clock in the morning to go to class.

D'Antoni learned the news about Curry's right ankle discomfort at almost the same time as Zuo Li yesterday. He immediately came to the hospital and accompanied Curry to complete the examination. When he returned home, it was already four o'clock in the morning, waiting with Curry and Zuo Li.

After making an appointment to review after training in the afternoon, D'Antoni was ready to catch up on his sleep, but three hours later...

"Coach, I want to talk to you about Curry. It's very important!"

D'Antoni: "…"

Looking at Zuo Li, who had been busy all night with him and only slept for three hours but was still in high spirits, not because he was tired at all, but on the contrary because he was a little excited about Curry's affairs, D'Antoni wanted to say: Coaches are human beings too, and they also need to

sleep!

But the subsequent chat between Zuo Li and him also made him sleepless, because Zuo Li analyzed Curry's ankle problem with him in detail, and said that Curry had suffered from ankle problems when he was young, and the doctor said that his ankle ligaments were weak.

, and later it was relieved after continuous strengthening strength training to improve foot strength. Improper handling this time could easily cause Curry to fall back into the cycle of sprained feet.

After listening to Zuo Li's words, combined with Curry's repeated injuries to his left foot and right foot, although D'Antoni still felt that Zuo Li was a little too careful, he did not dare to ignore it.

So he called the team doctor in charge of Curry's injury. After getting an answer similar to Zuo Li's - "Curry's ankle ligaments are indeed weaker than ordinary people", D'Antoni actually made his decision.

After all, he is a coach who came from Phoenix, the league's gathering place for miracle doctors. He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. Since Curry is at risk of injury if he continues to play like this, Zuo Li's proposal is very reasonable——

"For the sake of the playoffs and the championship, maybe we have to make this decision, which is to give Stephen a longer rest, recovery and training time."

Anyway, there are only a few games in the regular season, and their previous record generally makes their chances of surpassing the Bulls slim. Not only is it unrealistic to force them to surpass, it may also cause other problems that will affect the playoffs. So in fact, D'Antoni has already

70 wins was nothing extravagant, so D'Antoni simply agreed to Zuo Li's suggestion.

For the playoffs.

So the two of them met and came to the hospital, intending to have a face-to-face talk with Curry. After all, unlike those guys who have money and can play without playing, Curry has a character that can play even if he is injured, so how to make Curry play?

Accepting this "bad news" requires two people to work together.

Hence the scene just now.

Facts have proved that it was right for the two of them to come together. Curry was indeed very angry. Seeing that D'Antoni couldn't do it, he turned to Zuo Li and said:

"Boss! It's just a slight sprain, it doesn't even count as a sprain. If I just skip the rest of the game, will it be a big deal?"

Curry couldn't understand that the March game had just been played, and they still had many games in April. According to the schedule, the regular season would not end until April 14th, so wouldn't he have to rest for another two weeks!

Is this still possible!?

As for the record, he had promised 70 wins, but if he just watched it slip away in front of him, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

"Don't worry Stephen, I know that, like me, you are a guy who can't live without the game, but there is indeed a good reason for doing this now." Zuo Li reassured.

In fact, he didn't want to let Curry rest for so long. If Curry partners with him, he is confident that he can have a winning streak in the end and surpass the Bulls. There is no guarantee, but with 70 wins, Zuo Li is still confident.

By the way, it does not affect the physical fitness of the players, after all, the rotation method is obvious to all.

But as soon as Curry rests, the Knicks' rotation needs to be reconsidered, and the depth of the lineup is not as good as before. If they want to surpass 70 wins, other people will have to take on more work, which is very likely to cause the tragedy of the Warriors that year.

The 73-win Warriors were either awesome or brave. At that time, who didn’t think that the championship was within their grasp, but as a result, it was embarrassing to be overturned in the finals, but if Clay hadn’t suddenly burst out, the Warriors might have directly

Lying in the Western Conference.

The reason is because they exhausted their main players in pursuit of 73 wins, especially Stephen Curry. It should have been the most perfect season of his career, but it also became the season that most seriously affected the evaluation of his career.

Therefore, once Curry is absent, giving up surpassing the Bulls is the safest choice. Even 70 wins can no longer be deliberately pursued. The best way is to retain the strength to compete in the playoffs and compete for the championship.

But having said that, how many people can actually make you give up your regular season win record? The Warriors probably didn’t think about giving up at that time, but when it comes to that, they can’t give up even if they want to, let alone not at all.

No one dares to give up, and no one is willing to give up.

Surpassing the Bulls, putting this thing on the court is like sealing the wolf and keeping Xu, it is too attractive.

But for the future, for the Knicks' dominance, and for Curry to grow into a stronger player faster, Zuo Li convinced himself.

"The regular season is very important, but we have more important things. If you were injured again and were reimbursed for the playoffs, wouldn't you be more regretful? Remember, the championship is the most important." Zuo Li patted Ku.

inside the shoulders.

"Sometimes the fist is retracted not because of cowardice, but to punch more powerfully. Don't care too much about your gains and losses in the two regular seasons. Our careers are still long."

Silence, long silence, finally, Curry agreed and accepted Zuo Li's suggestion, which was to find a reliable coach to completely improve the strength of his ankle.

So, the matter was settled.

After convincing Curry, things became much simpler after that. On April 1st, at noon on April Fool’s Day, the Knicks’ press spokesman announced in a press conference hall filled with 145 reporters from all over the world that Stephen Curry

Lee missed the remainder of the regular season due to injury and will return in the first round of the playoffs.
