Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Knicks' Injury Turmoil

Before the start of the season, many experts came forward to comment on the Knicks, and this time, the Knicks will fall on injuries.

For this, even stubborn Van Gundy has to agree that before the start of the game, the Knicks spent a lot of money to establish a fairly scientific and rigorous recuperation system for the players, hoping to relieve the physical fatigue of the veterans and allow them to avoid injuries as much as possible.

Just into December, the Knicks played against the Pistons, and Marcus Camby sprained his knee while fighting for a rebound, and from that moment on, the Knicks opened up their confrontation with injury.

Three days later, the Knicks played the Milwaukee Bucks back-to-back, and the injury came again, this time with a pinpoint attack on Johnson's knee, and Johnson couldn't get back on the court until at least the playoffs.

Whether it is the overnight rain in China, or Murphy's theorem in the West, it indicates that the Knicks' injury pain will continue.

A week later, the Knicks won a crazy solo show. In this game, Antoine Walker, who became more and more fluent, shot unscrupulously, although the shooting percentage was very ugly, but he scored 49 points, including 17 three-point shots, and only hit six shots. (I haven't looked through the data, so I don't know if it's the most three-point shots in a single game, but I think it should be.) The rest of the Celtics were mediocre.

As for the Knicks, they beat the Celtics by 30 points, Sprewell scored 42 points, a team-high, and Mo Xi cut 33 points and 11 rebounds, as a newly injured Camby, he came off the bench to become a key figure in the team's victory, playing 30 minutes and scoring 21 rebounds, giving the Knicks a fifteen lead over the Celtics in rebounds, which is simply unbelievable for the Knicks.

It's just that in this crazy game, the Knicks were injured again, and the Knicks' main substitute at the No. 3 position, Claurence-Witherpombo, suffered a torn calf muscle, and Eugh cracked a lower arm bone. This time, the Knicks' rotation system was completely broken, and there were problems with players at several key positions, and the Knicks had to start searching for suitable players in the free agent market.

The Knicks want to search for suitable players, but at the same time the game has to continue, the Knicks who have problems with the rotation are a few seasons ago, several main players have to play for forty minutes, the first three games are okay, but gradually, Mo Xi, Sprewell and others have physical problems, before Christmas, the Knicks suddenly ushered in a wave of three consecutive defeats, and the players' physical fitness, spirit, and concentration have seriously declined. The Knicks quickly slipped from fourth place in the East to eighth in the East, with only one win separating them from the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets in joint ninth place.

In addition to the OK Purple and Gold Army and the AI Black Assassin Brotherhood, which played an epic showdown in the finals last season, there is also a demigod Carter who also played a pseudo-god performance in the playoffs last season (because Carter lost in the end, so he can only be regarded as a pseudo-god, you can take a look at that round of the playoffs, ztm cool).

With the direct competition for a playoff spot, this Christmas game at Madison Square Garden in New York will be another high-profile game, plus last season, the Raptors knocked the Knicks out in the first round, this game is even more significant for the Knicks, especially Moxi, who has been saddled with the infamy of losing the playoffs until now.

However, none of this is what Mo Xi needs to consider now, two days before the Christmas game, the Knicks did not play, because the Knicks' injury situation in the recent period has been too serious, Van Gundy has to take it seriously, and several of the Knicks' main players have been sent to a private clinic for a comprehensive examination to prevent potential injuries.

It's no wonder that Van Gundy is so cautious, the Knicks have suffered too much on this.

James Dolan generously introduced his personal doctor to the Knicks, and I have to say that Dolan's support for these teams in New York is really all-round.

Mo Xi went to Dolan's personal doctor's clinic after morning exercises, and since the in-depth communication between Mo Xi and Ding Xiaowei in the summer, Ding Xiaowei has become Mo Xi's personal driver in a sense.

Dolan's personal physician is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a member of Brooklyn, like all other kids from the Brooklyn community, who worked hard to reach the top of their lives, then rented a small space in New York and started the life of the upscale people he dreamed of as a child.

This personal doctor opened his private practice in the suburbs of New York, right on the intersection of Brooklyn and Queens, which is beautiful but mostly quiet enough.

Ding Xiaowei was introduced by Mo Xi and worked in a pharmaceutical company in New York. When the two of them arrived at the place and got out of the car, Mo Xi stretched his waist and took a deep breath, the environment here is very quiet, but it is very in line with the temperament of Mo Xi and Ding Xiaowei.

Ding Xiaowu also felt very comfortable after getting out of the car, and couldn't help but lean on Mo Xi, and said: "It's really good here, in the future, um, you, me, should we also set up a small house here?" Stayed here in my free time. Under the influence of Mo Xi, the good socialist young women also began to be corrupted by capitalism.

Mo Xi nodded slightly, there should be such a quiet little place in everyone's heart to place their inner peace, just like Ewing, who bought a place of inner peace in York City.

In the extremely confrontational alliance, many people will choose to use various ways to decompress themselves, and the way of Mo Xi is not so much to reduce pressure, but rather a kind of self-closure, to press everything in the bottom of their hearts, according to Mo Xi's current state, in fact, this kind of examination is not necessary, but should see a psychiatrist.

Mo Xi is the last person to be checked on Christmas Eve, although there is a kind of confidence in his physical state, but after all, this is the kindness of the team's big boss, Mo Xi can't refuse, just take it as part of the Christmas holiday, and Ding Xiaowei go out for a walk, since the start of the season to the present, most of the Knicks' games are away, although it is still mostly in the East, but after all, it can't be in New York every day, Mo Xi has to often leave Ding Xiaowu alone in New York.

Mo Xi knocked softly on the door of the clinic.
