Chapter 647: Misfortune is not a one-way street
In professional football, most leagues have a winter break when the season runs into December. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The winter break was mainly due to the fact that the temperature in Europe was so low in winter. But I have to admit that the existence of the winter break has greatly restored the physical fitness of the players, which will also reduce their chance of injury.
But in the world of professional basketball, there is no such thing. Even though the NBA has as many as 82 regular season games each season, the players have to bite it off one game at a time. All-Star Weekend seems to be a time for players to get plenty of rest. But for those star players, All-Star Weekend is no different than usual.
Countless stars have said that NBA games would be much more exciting if the league was willing to cut the length and number of regular season games.
Because if there are fewer regular season games, the players will have fewer injuries and more energy to devote to each game.
However, the NBA has always been a business-first league, and the people in the suit don't care much about the health of the players. Even if James is reimbursed for the season, there will be other superstars who will step up to replace him.
Look at Kobe Bryant this year, he was reimbursed for the season, and the NBA didn't see much of an impact.
In such a situation, the schedule of NBA teams is even a little inhumane.
And this kind of thing happened to the Trail Blazers again.
※※※
The four who had just returned from New Orleans had not had time to catch their breath before they had to rush back to the Moda Center.
Tomorrow, the San Antonio Spurs travel to Portland to take on the opponent who swept him away last year.
Although in the playoffs last year, the Trail Blazers have already defeated the Spurs once. But that's the way it is in competitive sports, you don't necessarily beat the same opponent every time, even if it's the Philadelphia 76ers.
For this difficult bone, the whole Trail Blazers team attaches great importance to it. The experience gained from playing against strong teams will be of great use in the playoffs. That's why Rickard started to call the team for training non-stop after All-Star Weekend.
I just played the All-Star Game yesterday, and today I immediately threw myself into intense training. Not everyone can stand such a toss.
An Jie, who has worked hard to get used to it, is nothing unusual, but it is obvious that Aldridge has been very tired in training.
Relax your training with Aldridge? No, of course it can't be. Tomorrow, Aldridge will face Tim Duncan, one of the best power forwards in the world.
Don't look at Duncan is nine years older than Aldridge, but age never seems to be a problem in front of this "No. 21 rookie".
Aldridge himself didn't want to rely on Anjie's help every time he met Duncan.
Although he was very tired, Aldridge was still struggling with himself.
It looks like the whole Trail Blazers are in great shape, and everyone is working very hard.
However, the Trail Blazers, who had too much success in the first half of the season, seem to have forgotten that after the All-Star break, there will be a peak period for player injuries!
※※※
The second day of the game was as intense as ever.
Anjie seems to have to go through a hard-fought battle every time he faces the Spurs to win. That was the case in the playoffs last year, and today's game is no exception.
Ricard values this game, while Popovich and GDP take it more seriously than Ricard.
As long as the Spurs want to go far in the playoffs, Anjie and the Portland Trail Blazers are a hurdle they can't get around. Only by climbing this sudden rise can the Spurs challenge for the championship.
As a result, the Spurs cherish the opportunity to play the Trail Blazers in the regular season. Because of this, the two sides have turned this ordinary regular season game into a playoff-level battle.
Not to mention others, even An Jie seemed to be struggling on the field. The alternating impact of Split and Duncan made Anjie miserable.
And the scorching score between the two sides did not leave the players a chance to breathe.
Alternate leads, continued ties...... These pictures have become the main theme of this game.
It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that the balance on the court was finally broken.
After successfully defending Duncan's hook, the excited Aldridge intends to keep the pressure on the difficult No. 21 on the offensive end.
Aldridge was running very aggressively, and even though he felt some discomfort in his muscles, the guy had no intention of stopping.
Anjie immediately gave Aldridge a space to pull a card, and as long as there was enough space, Aldridge could score a goal.
Lillard didn't waste Aldridge's enthusiasm either, as soon as he dribbled the ball past half court, he pushed with both hands, allowing the basketball to fly to Aldridge's hands.
Seeing that Duncan didn't have time to make up for the defense, Split volunteered and posted it behind Aldridge's back.
Aldridge felt a great deal of pressure, and he was already very tired and could not face such a defense calmly.
So, Aldridge held the ball in both hands, with his left foot as the axis, and suddenly turned to face the frame.
Aldridge's face-frame offense was just as good as his backbasket, and seeing that Duncan had run to Angel's side, Split set his sights on the Trail Blazers' second-in-command.
Aldridge observed Split's position and had to admit that the Brazilian center forward was very smart, and Aldridge couldn't find a gap at all.
But that didn't bother Aldridge, the guy slammed into the trap and tried to force his way in with his shoulder against Split.
"What are you kidding!?" Split didn't give an inch, and he used his chest to catch the onslaught. I have to admit that although Aldridge is a technical insider, his impact is not inferior at all.
Split felt tightness in his chest, but Aldridge, who forced his way through, was not easy.
His tired muscles protested against the overuse, and Aldridge's body seemed to have collapsed into a string. However, when Aldridge finally burst into the box, the string ...... It's broken!
"Ahh
Split spread his hands, but this guy's innocent expression really wasn't pretending.
Aldridge curled up on the hardwood floor of the Moda Center, and it was only at this point that the others reacted, could it be that he was injured!?
"This damn Brazilian!" Lillard said with a disgruntled thought on his lips and rushed towards Split, only to be grabbed by Angel.
Angel shook his head at Lillard: "I can see very clearly, that kid from Split is really not moving. Let's go, let's go see how LaMarcus is. ”
An Jie anxiously pushed aside the crowd on both sides and squatted beside Aldridge. Last year, Aldridge also experienced an injury during the regular season. During that period, although the Trail Blazers created a 27-game winning streak, only Anjie knew the hardship.
In any case, Aldridge's injury is not a good thing for the Trail Blazers.
"How's it going, LaMarcus!?" asked Anjie as she beckoned from the sidelines. He was signaling Ricard to get the team doctor on the pitch.
Aldridge didn't answer, he just curled up on the ground in pain, unable to move.
When the team doctor came on the field, he asked Aldridge a few simple questions. But as before, Aldridge couldn't respond.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and various TV stations were also replaying the footage over and over again.
It turned out that it was not Split's collision that caused Aldridge to become like this, but the impact of Aldridge after the end.
"If the point of injury is in the lower back...... "The team doctor looked back at the defense, and more or less guessed where the injury was.
A lower back injury can make it difficult for a person to straighten their back, let alone stand up and walk.
When Riccard saw this, he also yelled on the sidelines. This guy was complaining about the unreasonable schedule of the league, and the set of swear words "gift package" was all deducted by him to the heads of the league's top management.
For three minutes, Aldridge lay on the floor for three minutes before finally deciding to try to stand up.
But when Anjie and Lopez brought Aldridge on vacation, Aldridge, who was holding his waist, was in pain. It seems that the situation of this guy's waist may not be good.
Seeing this, the team doctor pushed out a wheelchair. Anjie and Lopez helped Aldridge to sit up, and the situation eased.
In this way, the four team doctors pushed Aldridge into the players' tunnel. Rickard's yelling finally stopped—replaced by a continuous cough.
"Man, are you alright!?" Divac had just sent Aldridge away, only to find that something seemed wrong with Ricard, who had just scolded too harshly.
"I didn't ...... All right...... Ahem, ahem!"
Rickard covered his mouth with a tissue and coughed, but when he took it off, the white tissue turned a dark red.
There is no doubt that Ricard has hemoptysis again. After that, Ricard's cough became more and more severe, and the referee did not dare to start the game at all. Because of the blood clotting in his throat, Rickard even had frightening breathing difficulties at one point!
The Trail Blazers team medic circled Rickard again, and fans throughout the Moda Center hugged their heads in panic.
Damn chronic bronchitis, it finally broke out.
An Jie, who was looking at the chaotic scene in the coach's seat, suddenly had a blank mind, first Aldridge, and now Ricard. What are you kidding!?What does losing two team cores in a row mean for a team?Think about it, if the Spurs didn't have Popovich and Parker, it would be a nightmare!
Two "surprises" came at the same time in five minutes? An Jie is really an out-and-out "God's darling......
