Injuries are indeed the biggest enemy of these professional players in the NBA, even with physical metamorphosis such as "Turtle" Russell Westbrook, "The Flash" Dwyane Wade and "Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal, they were not without injuries back then. Even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, missed most of the season in his second year in the league because of a broken bone.

Every NBA team can't escape injuries. Not to mention, even in the current Knicks team, there are also a few players who have been plagued by injuries for many years and have fallen from the top.

Derrick Rose, the league's most famous and regrettable "Injured Zhongyong", the regular season MVP of the year, the wizard who does not slow down and change direction, is considered to have the potential to become a top superstar, but a serious knee injury ruined him, and since then he has been in a slump and has been in a state of collapse.

Joji Noah, before signing with the Knicks, was reminded of Phil Jackson that Noah has a history of frequent injuries, especially last season, after a full 4 months of recuperation due to a dislocated shoulder, Noah's defensive ability has obviously weakened after his return, and he will no longer be the best defensive player of the year.

Darrell Arthur: He suffered serious knee and thigh injuries, and it was because of the injuries that he gradually faded from the Nuggets' rotation until he was traded.

Kenneth Farid: An accidental cervical vertebrae injury nearly ended his career. Although fortunately, there was no major event, but his form has not been as good as before, and he has slowly fallen from the main player of the "Dream Team" to the bench player of the Nuggets.

In addition to the four players who have had a history of serious injuries, such as Jay Crowder, who was also injured before reporting to the team. In addition, the team's veteran Vujacic, newcomer Porzingis, and Mesozoic Thomas have also had some injuries.

Just looking at so many players who have had injury records, are you worried about the Knicks' endurance? No, even though the Knicks have all kinds of new and old injuries on their roster, they still don't rank on the league's injury list, and they are not bad compared to the teams that are really injured hard.

So which teams can be considered "unlucky" teams that are truly "doomed"?

If you want to say that the most unlucky "glass man" team in the league in recent years, it must be the next opponent of the Knicks, the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland is a well-known "wounded city", and the Trail Blazers are the biggest "bad guys" in the league. Their luck has not been good in history, in addition to the average level of the medical team that people nickname "veterinarians", and the rookies they choose and the stars they trade to always suffer bizarre serious injuries like winning the lottery.

Far away like Wharton, Bowe (the man who squeezed Jordan out of 1984 to become the top of the list) and Sabonis, not to mention, the two closest ones, they are also famous and notoriously unlucky.

Brandon Roy, a super scoring guard nicknamed "The Yellow Mamba", was once hailed as the successor to Kobe Bryant. Not only is his football skills good, but he also has a big heart that is good at killing, and the 0.8-second defeat of Yao Ming's Houston Rockets team left him an indelible memory in the hearts of Chinese fans. But unfortunately, after only five seasons in the NBA, the 27-year-old Roy announced his retirement due to a serious meniscus injury, and although he briefly returned to play 5 games for the Timberwolves, he was reluctantly injured again, and after all, he failed to overcome the injury and withdrew from the NBA stage early.

If Roy has had a highlight reel moment, it's even more shameful for another star with a bigger name and a higher draft pick. Greg Oden, a super newcomer nicknamed "The Great", was hailed as the successor of "Lord of the Rings" Russell before he entered the NBA, which shows that people have high expectations for him. The big man who beat Kevin Durant to become the top pick in the 2007 draft was best known for beating Jogem Noah and Al Horford with his left hand in the 2007 NCAA Finals. But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, after entering the NBA, after joining the Trail Blazers, Oden fell into infinite injury troubles, first before the rookie season started, he missed the whole year due to surgery, and then there were constant injuries, non-stop surgeries, and non-stop waiting. It's not an exaggeration to say that Oden is the first person in the history of injuries in the NBA, and let's see what injury records Oden has broken? In his five years with the Trail Blazers, he had a staggering record of three season reimbursements. In his lifetime, Oden only played 82 games for the Trail Blazers, and finally fell to the end of the CBA (China) Gold Rush and finally chose to retire in 2016, when he was only 28 years old.

The Trail Blazers' medical level is staggering, but it doesn't blow it up, and Roy and Oden are just two particularly outstanding masterpieces of the Trail Blazers' "vets", and their real injury situation is even more terrifying. In the 2009-2010 season, they even created a miracle of 13 injuries in the team, including 61 injuries for Oden, 52 for Pulzbilla, 45 for Batum, 20 for Fernandes, 17 for Roy, etc., the Trail Blazers have had a staggering 311 injuries throughout the season, and the 15 players on the team have an average of more than 20 injuries.

Today's visiting Trail Blazers team has maintained their "glorious tradition" - full of injuries, Nigerian main center Aminu is injured, and Napier and Connaughton on the bench will also miss today's game with the Knicks due to physical reasons, the big game is imminent, the Trail Blazers can use less than 10 rotation players, coach Terry Stouts is anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Speaking of which, the Trail Blazers have had a rocky season, with the management re-signing Evan Turner and Aaron Crabbe at the beginning of the season with high salaries that have made them questionable, especially Crabbe, who last season's sixth man has proven not to have the potential to become a superstar, but the team's general manager Neil Olchea gave him a four-year, $74.83 million contract.

18.5 million a year to renew a bench player? Are you kidding me？

The direct consequence of Olsche's exaggerated move is that there is some undercurrent in the team at the moment, you must know that in addition to the core Lillard, the other two in the top three of the team's salary are actually the team's substitutes Crabbe and Turner, which makes the other main players think? In particular, a blue-collar starter like Mason Plumlee, who does the dirty work, still has a measly $2.33 million annual salary, which is not even a fraction of the two substitutes.

The most direct effect of the discord in the team is the team's poor record, before facing the Knicks, they just relied on a victory over the Nets to stop a three-game losing streak, barely holding on to a win rate of less than 50%, and they are a little sure of the big teams this year, and they are almost all losing against the strong teams.

Ahead of the game against the Knicks, Trail Blazers coach Stotters was cautious, admitting that the Knicks should not be underestimated after completing the two trades, and this game is sure to be a tough one.

The coach is soft, and the media is of course also one-sided optimistic about the Knicks, who just beat the Atlanta Hawks, a powerhouse in the East, in their last game, and judging from the scene, the chemistry between the four new players and the team is quite good.

Chasing the rise and killing the fall is what these media people are best at, not to mention Roy, the "next superstar of the league" who has been praised by the media, even those bench players who are not usually treated well have been blown up this time, anyway, everyone thinks that the Knicks have won.

It's no wonder that the media looks down on the Trail Blazers, take a cursory look at the Trail Blazers' lineup, except for Damion Lillard who is a marginal All-Star, C.J. McCum just emerged last season, and the rest of Morris Harkrax, Ed Davis, and Mason Plumlee can only sit on the bench on other teams, but it is these five people who make up the main lineup of the Trail Blazers today, what a miserable word.

Of course, politeness is politeness, the game started to play the Trail Blazers but there was no slackness, Stotters is the representative of the outstanding head coach of the young Zhuang faction in the league, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Knicks to run in unskilled, and beat the Knicks by surprise in the first quarter, ending the first quarter with a score of 23:18.

Hornacek's team is indeed not finished yet, in the last game they relied on the stimulation of several newcomers and a fierce fist to kill the old master, pulling the Eastern powerhouse Hawks off the horse.

In the face of the slightly inferior Trail Blazers, Hornacek's original plan was to use the opponent to do a little tactical experiment, so the first quarter did not specifically target the Trail Blazers' personnel and tactics, and everyone played relatively peacefully, but Lillard was caught off guard by a sudden burst, McCrum made an unreasonable throw, and lost by 5 points.

But fortunately, the Knicks' bench depth is indeed superior to the Trail Blazers' "high-salary and incompetent", and when the Trail Blazers' two high-paid bench players, Crabbe and Turner, played, the fighting spirit of the Knicks' bench players was obviously several times higher.

At this time, it was as if standing in front of them was not two players, but two thick stacks of dollars, a tree living a skin, a person living a breath, and sometimes the opponent's stimulation was more effective than the encouragement of their own people.

In the second quarter, the Knicks' benches were in a big way, beating the bench of the Trail Blazers and returning the opponent 31:22, which not only successfully overtook the score, but also boosted the team's morale.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks temporarily led 49:45, although the score seemed to be close, but judging from the scene, there should be no doubt that the Knicks won this game......
