Chapter 277: Injuries
The results of the first round of All-Star voting came out, and James was elected the first-round voter.
James's situation is not surprising, Zhang Xiaotian ranks second among Eastern forwards, and beating Anthony has caused widespread discussion.
Zhang Xiaotian played in the No. 2 position most of this season, but the team reported him as a striker, which is no problem, and what is criticized is that he won the vote.
The Cavaliers' No. 4 man actually paid more votes than the core players of other teams, and many people shouted that it was unfair.
Zhang Xiaotian didn't feel uninteresting, and in his third season in the league, his skin became thicker.
This is the support of the fans, and the support of the fans is often unreasonable, and his performance is really exciting, and he never relents at critical moments.
He thanked the fans on social media and continued to canvass for votes.
Paul George couldn't play this season, the Knicks' record was too poor, and after seeing the first round of voting, Zhang Xiaotian officially set his goal as an All-Star starter.
The No. 26 Cavaliers are back-to-back on the road, but against the Eastern Fish Belly Magic.
Zhang Xiaotian didn't expect that there would be an accident in his body, he always thought that he was extremely durable, even if he couldn't reach James's level, it wouldn't be too far behind.
But the first quarter didn't last long, and once he grabbed a rebound and landed, his foot was in unbearable pain, like a pinprick in the needle.
The Cavaliers still won the game, and Vitesse, who replaced him, performed well.
In the post-game examination, Zhang Xiaotian was inflamed with his Achilles tendon, which was caused by exertion, and the previous twist only made the symptoms appear in advance.
Muscle inflammation can be a big or small thing for athletes.
After the doctor's advice, Zhang Xiaotian planned to adopt a conservative treatment method, and it was estimated that he would have to take a break of four to six weeks.
He is also quite depressed in his heart, the All-Star side has a good vote, and he will be injured, if he is selected but can only watch because of the injury, it will be a big loss.
When the news of Zhang Xiaotian's injury spread, the fans were also very distressed, and many fans shouted to continue voting when he rested at ease.
Although there were some bad words, he was still very touched by the kindness of the fans.
Once upon a time he was just a small fan, and now he's thinking about the All-Star thing, and he's really a lucky man.
Thinking about it this way, the injury is suddenly not terrible, and he must actively cooperate with the treatment and strive to return to the arena as soon as possible.
In the future, he will also be more cautious about injuries, and many bad things can be avoided.
Yang Feiyu also flew over from the other side of the ocean, this year she would have followed Zhang Xiaotian to celebrate the Spring Festival in the United States, but now she came to take care of him a little earlier.
"It's good to take a break, there are just a few games that I want to find someone to clear together."
Yang Feiyu is still a little girl, but her eyes occasionally reveal that calmness, which has shown that she has grown a lot during this time.
Zhang Xiaotian pinched his wife's face, "Rest is secondary, the key is to have someone to serve you." ”
Yang Feiyu cast a contemptuous look, "I'm afraid that some people can't bear it at this time." ”
"Bold demon girl, today I will definitely let you taste the power of being a husband."
Zhang Xiaotian's injury does not affect his normal life, but he can really adjust his body well.
Of course, some training will continue, and rest should not rust the body.
After his injury, the team decided to start Mike Miller, and Vitesse still played the sixth man.
On the 28th, the Cavaliers hosted the Pistons.
The Pistons are still not doing well this season, and although they have worked hard in the summer, Reggie Jackson, who is reluctant to play on the bench with the Thunder, has also performed well since the arrival of Reggie Jackson, and has young twin towers, but the team does not seem to have found its way.
In this encounter with the Cavaliers, the Pistons performed very well, except for the first quarter when they did not get up, and then completely dominated the court, and the young interior Drummond dominated the restricted area with 16 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks.
The Cavaliers still suffered a loss without a bench, and the Vitesse team always struggled to take on the responsibility when they needed him.
After losing to the Fish Belly Pistons, they met the Eagles, who have been in the limelight lately.
They also lost to the Hawks when the lineup was neat before, and this time not only Zhang Xiaotian was absent, but James also chose to take a break due to back discomfort.
Owen led the team to honestly not play badly, but he and Love seem to be a little incompatible.
James can deploy the ball when he is there, but Irving plays differently.
Usually James has too much ball, and it is also one of the reasons why Irving has not grown much in terms of organization.
In the case of Lefou's bad hand, Vitesse hit the iron again, and the knights lost in a row.
This time, James intends to repair for a while longer and come back without seeing the team's losing streak.
It's also Irving's chance to prove his ability to lead the team, but unfortunately the team doesn't have enough people playing right now.
Some fringe players were given the opportunity to play, but unfortunately no one was able to make it.
Although there are often main injuries on the team, there are people on the team who take the opportunity to play, but the Cavaliers don't seem to have the talent to be prepared.
In the last game of December, the Cavaliers lost to the visiting Bucks on a three-game losing streak.
It's not terrible to lose, who's embarrassed by whom, James and Zhang Xiaotian's truce team played a mess, and Owen and Love have become the back-bearers.
As for Vitesse, he has been scolded by fans this season, and now he is even more unpopular.
In this case, James and Zhang Xiaotian's all-star votes were not affected in the slightest, but more people supported it, which is also an accident.
In the second round of statistics released by the league, James continued to lead the league, while Zhang Xiaotian still ranked second among Eastern forwards.
The Cavaliers finally got on the ground in early January against the Hornets without Al Jefferson.
Owen and Love both got 20, but the two still didn't cooperate.
And Irving's shooting rate is less than 30%, and the two of them don't pass the ball to each other and play iron desperately, and they can win because Kemba Walker is as iron.
The Cavaliers have slipped to the top spot in the East at this time, and not only are the players dissatisfied with the performance fans, but David Blatter is also considered unsuccessful.
The team has suffered injuries and fans don't care, the Cavaliers are being watched by many people with a magnifying glass this season.
James and Zhang Xiaotian were not there, and all the problems were exposed.
The integration of the Cavaliers is more difficult than the original Heat, after all, the Heat had a bad relationship with James and Wade at that time, and now the Cavaliers are in a situation where James dominates, but others are not completely convinced.
David Blatter is also a newcomer in the league and can't hold down this wave of players at all.
James often robs the coach off the court these days, but Zhang Xiaotian is not so idle.
In fact, as long as everyone is healthy, a lot of things will gradually be solved, he just needs to recover well and then play the ball well.
The current situation of the team, Zhang Xiaotian is not very worried, after all, the league often fights for talent, and this knight has it.
