Chapter 941: "Arena Fighter" (Fourth Update!) )

Davis's honesty made the atmosphere of the post-game press conference relaxed, but the focus of media and fans on the second day was Tang Tian's injury.

The results of Tang Tian's MRI were negative, and there was no structural damage to the bones.

The team doctor's diagnosis at the first time was correct, Tang Tian was just a muscle spasm, and he could recover after one to two weeks of rest.

In other words, Tang Tian will miss 6~7 games at most, and if he is lucky, he may only need 3~4 games.

This couldn't be better news for the Pelicans.

And Tyam was quick to react, and after watching the game footage, the league added Paul's second-degree malicious foul and a $30,000 fine.

This speed of processing also pleases the fans.

After all, fans on social media are right, and blindly emphasizing confrontation and ignoring malicious fouls is going to the other extreme.

Tang Tian slept at home for one night, and when he woke up the next day, he thought that he would be in pain and couldn't straighten his back.

But to his surprise, he found that in addition to the swelling pain, he was able to get up on his own, and the swelling pain was also within his tolerance.

Surprised, he ran to his basketball gym and shot a few baskets, and found that it was completely fine.

He's ...... All right?

He tried to dunk two more baskets, but there was a stabbing pain in his back, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems that it is impossible to be good so fast, and if it is so fast, then the change of direction shows that the NBA team doctor is an amateur.

However, what he could clearly feel was that his pain was significantly less than yesterday, and even a little exaggerated.

At this rate of recovery, given another day of rest, he will be able to play straight away.

This makes some sense.

He is not without injuries, he was out for more than a month at the Spurs.

At that time, the diagnosis given by the team doctor was that he would be absent for 3~5 weeks, and his recovery time was about the same as the time required for diagnosis.

The only possibility is the legendary skill he just redeemed.

He almost forgot the passive skill in the skill.

Stadium Fighters: Minimize the impact of injuries when they need to play.

Reducing the impact should refer to the effect of reducing the pain and enhancing the body's tolerance, not the recovery from injury.

In other words, this passive skill is only for those that are not too serious, and it is useless for serious injuries such as broken bones and meniscus crushing.

This also coincides with Iverson's original situation.

At the beginning, Iverson played with 21 injuries and was called a mummy who could run and jump by the media.

But those injuries can only be regarded as minor, and if they are really serious, Iverson will also miss the game.

After all, no matter how strong the physical and psychological quality is, it is impossible to exceed the tolerance of the human body.

This passive skill is very useful, and like him, he won't miss the next game against the Jazz now.

The next day, the Pelicans scheduled a daily practice.

The results of the inspection came out, and there were already media reports before the game that Tang Tian would be absent for one to two weeks, and Stevens was also ready for Tang Tian not to play.

However, before the training session began, he saw that Tang Tian had also come to the training ground, and he had come by himself.

Because he was not mentally prepared, he looked confused, and he didn't come back to his senses until Tang Tian walked up to him.

"How are you?"

Stevens asked, surprised.

"No, but I should be able to play tonight."

Tang Tian said and moved his body.

Stevens looked stunned, this is completely different from what the team doctor said!

"Don't be pushy, you know it's just a regular season game, and what we need more is a healthy you."

Stevens thought of a possibility and spoke up.

"I can really fight, that injury is okay for me."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Still uneasy, Stevens asked Gentry to call the team doctor.

Tang Tian made some required actions in front of the team doctor, and the team doctor was stunned and almost doubted his life.

He had serious doubts about his medical skills.

"He can play."

In the end, he came to a conclusion based on Tang Tian's reaction.

Although Tang Tian's situation deviated greatly from his judgment, it was not completely impossible.

Some people recover from injuries and tolerate pain more quickly than usual.

Even the NBA has it, such as Iverson in the past and Butler now.

Of course, there are also those who rely on strong mental strength, such as Kobe.

Tang Tian also looks like an alternative now.

With permission from the team doctor, Stevens didn't say anything more, and he hurried to rearrange his tactics.

It was a surprise for him to be able to play, and he was more confident of winning the game against the Jazz.

That night, the Pelicans and Jazz games kicked off at New Orleans Arena.

Because the rumors before the game said that Tang Tian would not play today, the attendance rate of the stadium was only about seventy or eighty percent.

When Tang Tian appeared on the sidelines to warm up in his game uniform, there was a burst of excited shouts at the scene.

It was a big surprise for the fans who were there!

For Pelicans fans, Tang Tian's appearance was a surprise, but for the Jazz players, it was a little frightening.

Especially for head coach Snyder, he didn't expect a regular season game for the Pelicans to put smoke bombs before the game!

This means that all his previous tactical deployments have been done in vain!

But fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the warm-up was not hot, so he directly pulled the team over to make a new tactical deployment.

After the warm-up time, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and as the fans saw, Tang Tian served as the team's starting scoring guard as usual.

When Tang Tian came out in the finale, the surprised fans let out earth-shattering cheers.

Obviously, there are only seven or eight percent of the attendance, but he was stunned to shout out the momentum of full attendance.

Before the game started, Tang Tian chatted with Dior opposite.

Before the trade deadline, in order to reduce salary pressure, Dio was traded by the Spurs to the Jazz.

Although it has been so many years since Tang Tian left the Spurs, Holt has suffered from heart disease, but the Spurs' custom of not exceeding the salary cap is still persistent.

The game started immediately, and the starters from both sides came on one after another.

The Pelicans' regular lineup.

On the Jazz side, the outside line is George Hill and Rodney Hood, the front line is Shanghai Ward and Favors, and the center is Gobert.

Gobert jumped to Davis to give the Jazz a chance to take the lead.

The core of the Jazz is Hayward, but he is only averaging a little over 20 points per game, and all five players on the team are averaging double-doubles per game, and two others are averaging close to 10 points per game, which is a standard team team.

They opened with a beautiful off-ball pick-and-roll and a breakaway, and Hayward burst to assist Hill's three-pointer from the outside.

The Jazz took the lead.

Snyder waved his arms passionately on the sidelines.

Despite their low reputation right now, and despite the smoke bomb he ate from the Pelicans before the game, the Jazz are by no means underdogs and are not afraid of any opponent.

ps: I'm going back today and tomorrow, and there will be fewer updates, and I'll resume the update when I come back.
