Chapter 0349 - Injuries Are Coming! Poetry and distance! (3rd Update!) )

The Knicks, who have always been lucky, suffered an accident in the Spring Festival War.

The team's big man Shaun Livingston unfortunately stepped on the top of Scola's foot during a fast break landing, and Livingston was in great pain after landing, and the game was immediately interrupted, and Livingston returned to the locker room for treatment with the help of the team doctor.

Livingston also missed the subsequent game between the Knicks and the Rockets, and according to the team doctor, Livingston's injury situation this time is not optimistic.

Lin Yi's healing technique can't be used on his teammates, although Livingston has changed his playing style, but the main reason for this accident is because Livingston himself played high......

He flew up and wanted to dunk violently, and the dunk was picturesque, but he didn't stand firm when he landed.

If Livingston could have to choose again, he would definitely choose a practical layup over a handsome dunk.

Injuries are inevitable during the long season, and the Knicks didn't suffer much last year, and Tony Douglas's sprain didn't affect the team's overall situation.

However, Livingston has been a key part of the Knicks' bench this season.

Livingston is averaging 8.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 17.9 minutes per game this season while shooting 51.4 percent from the field.

Without Livingston's mid-range output, the Knicks had to figure out how to deal with it as soon as possible.

"Hopefully Sean is okay, hell, he finally proved himself again with the Knicks." Kenny Smith blessed.

"Hey, there is no way to avoid injuries in the NBA, wait for the results of tomorrow's examination." Barkley shook his head and sighed, injuries are arguably the biggest enemy of professional footballers.

Livingston's career is nothing short of a medical record of battling injuries.

When he returned to the locker room, he cried like a child.

He came to the Knicks last summer with a base salary and accepted a change of play in order to prove himself.

For basketball, Livingston is an absolute true love.

At halftime, his teammates all stepped forward to hug him, and Livingston said guiltily to Lin Yi: "Sorry, I messed up everything." ”

Lin Yi touched Livingston's head, "Sean, this is not the end of the world, we are waiting for you to come back." ”

……

The Knicks finally won the Spring Festival battle with a more stable offense and defense.

But Livingston's injury left the Knicks in the mood to celebrate the victory.

Lin Yi created a good locker room atmosphere in the Knicks, Livingston got a base salary, but he did a lot of work that the middle class couldn't do, and everyone respected him in the Knicks team.

Lin Yi and Da Yao hurriedly said goodbye, the Knicks flew back to New York, and Livingston underwent an MRI the next day, fortunately, Livingston's injury was not as serious as expected.

However, for a second-degree sprain of the medial ligament in the knee, the team doctor recommended that Livingston have four to eight weeks of recuperation.

"Judging by Sean's past injuries, I would suggest a playoff game, or even, a second round of the playoffs." The team medic suggested.

The Knicks' coaching staff is relieved to be back, and Livingston himself has said he will stick to Madison Square Garden to cheer on the team during the injury.

Lin Yi took his teammates to visit Livingston, and I have to say that "Karen Mok" is really optimistic, Lin Yi knows that he will travel to many teams in the future and only get a middle-class contract in the Warriors.

At that time, even Durant, who has always not had a high emotional intelligence, showed respect for Livingston, and Durant said in an interview that it was okay for him to take less, because Livingston deserved a contract that matched his value.

"Sean, we're waiting for you in the playoffs." Lin Yi's comfort made Livingston feel much better, Livingston had just settled in New York, and if he could, he wanted to play for the Knicks forever.

……

Livingston's injury necessitated D'Antoni to adjust the rotation, and Knicks general manager Donnie Wash, who had nothing to do, began to look for a replacement for Livingston.

The Knicks' coaching staff has worked out several possible options, the first of which is for Dodge Norris to join the rotation, but it is clearly difficult for Dodge Norris to replace Livingston.

The second option is to use Lowe as a backup point guard, which is more feasible, but D'Antoni also found problems when training on the team.

Lu Wei's organizational stability can't be compared with Livingston, and Lu Wei himself is used to only attacking this season, not organizing, this year's Knicks no Lin Yi in the second lineup, the Knicks' bench can win some games by fighting randomly, but when encountering some strong teams, it is easy to play to death.

Donaldson's assistant coach proposed that Lin Yi could enter the bench to play "point forward" like last season, but this suggestion was directly rejected by D'Antoni because then the burden on Lin Yi's shoulders would be too heavy.

"What we have to think about is to reduce the burden on Lin, not to continue to put pressure on his shoulders." D'Antoni said.

It's also unrealistic to let Billups play more, the veteran is almost 34 years old, after all, the old German is no longer the Mike - who will only die - D'Antoni.

So the most feasible way is to find a point guard back in the free market.

Originally, Lin Yi wanted to recommend Jeremy Lin at first, but he found that he also influenced Jeremy Lin's career......

Jeremy Lin, who went to the Warriors, was traded early because of Ellis, and now he is doing well with the Warriors as a substitute.

"You can only choose from the veterans." What makes the Knicks more uncomfortable is that at this point in time, it is obviously impossible for the Knicks to find a replacement that is too good.

……

On Feb. 5, the Knicks returned home to face the Bucks, who are also on the fringes of the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, and Jennings, who said he was the No. 1 in the '09 class last year, is much more low-key in the new season.

Thinking of Lin Yi's death blood cap, Jennings is still stunned in his heart!

Bogut didn't dare to amplify his words in front of Lin Yi, otherwise Lin Yi would have been calling for internal blocking tactics, so that the Australian aboriginal knew what it meant to have people outside the world and a sky outside the sky.

Lin Yi's biggest interest in the Bucks is Larry Sanders, an American version of King Jing Ze who gave up his career for poetry and far-fart.

Sanders, who is bent on pursuing his dreams, will not be able to pay tens of millions of dollars a year in the future, "My dream is to paint and sing, not basketball!" ”

Sanders boldly pursued his dream.

And then...... Reality will tell him that when you hit your head and bleed and want to come back, no one cares.

Sanders has a drug history and has been banned for it, and the little money after retiring can't support him, but it's a pity that Sanders, who shouted at the real fragrance, will not appear even if he screams to break his throat.

The Knicks eventually repelled the Bucks at home, but the impact of Livingston's absence was exposed in this game, the Knicks bench did not have a consistent output, and Lowe was a double-edged sword, and for the Knicks, who were aiming to win the championship, reinforcements were imminent.

Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh is now discovering that it's actually a good thing to be able to accept praise from people while lying down!

You know, now he has a headache to death, at this point in time, the Knicks can't pay too many chips, it's really difficult for a strong man!

Fortunately, Lin Yi gave Donnie Walsh a name...... It's just the name, Donnie Washh looked at Lin Yi seriously: "Are you sure?" ”

"Try it!" If you don't try everything, how can you know the result?
