In fact, Roy's injury has been around for a long time, and if you take a closer look, you will find that he has been battling injuries in recent seasons. www.biquge.info In his first season, Roy missed a lot of games due to the pain caused by a congenital bone abnormality in his left foot, and it was even more striking that Roy had a swollen knee problem in the latter part of his rookie season. Before being named to the All-Star Game for the first time in 2008, Roy sprained his ankle; In the summer of 2008, he underwent surgery to remove the cartilage from his left foot.

This time, Roy's right knee bone contusion looked serious, and the team doctor informed McMillan that Roy would not play for the next two games, and how long he would be out of action would have to wait until after surgery to see how he recovered. After hearing the news, the whole team was in a very low mood, especially Ye Feng. He is not the kind of person who is greedy for the ball, Roy's presence can reduce his burden, and although he has secured the position of the team's starting small forward, he is still a small character in terms of age, Roy's presence can better coordinate the locker room relationship, and everyone is not very satisfied with his control of the ball.

The Trail Blazers, who were a little sluggish, won one and lost one in Portland, and the game against the Thunder still relied on Camby's extraordinary performance, with Ye Feng and Aldridge combined for 27 points. If it weren't for Miller's 22 points and 7 assists and Camby's 30 points and 13 rebounds, the Trail Blazers would have almost lost this game. This also blames Ye Feng for them, after all, the playing time is not very long, and in the face of the injury and suspension of his companions at critical moments, he is more or less unaccustomed to it, and it will even affect the state of the game, Camby and Miller are different, after all, they are both veterans over thirty years old, what situation has they not encountered in their long careers? These are just small things for them, and no matter how good the relationship is, it will not affect their form in the game.

But the last game was not that they didn't want to win, it was really an outbreak on the other side, this year's No. 7 pick Curry shot 13 of 25, 12 of 12 free throws and slashed 42 points, plus 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and his backcourt partner Ellis also scored 34 points on 14-of-24 shooting, and the Trail Blazers were directly beaten into a sieve under the combination of two guns. If it weren't for Ye Feng and Miller teaming up to score 57 points, the Trail Blazers might have been beaten in the first half, but in the end, the two sides still played a high score, and the Warriors narrowly beat the Trail Blazers 122-116 on the road. In the end, the Trail Blazers have a record of 50 wins and 32 losses this season, and they are in sixth place by virtue of their record advantage over the Spurs and Thunder, who also have 50 wins, and the top five are the Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets and Jazz, which means that the Trail Blazers' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Suns led by Nash and Stoudemire.

The Suns are a formidable opponent, and Nash and Stoudemire alone are enough to give the rest of the league's 29 team head coaches a headache, not to mention the double-doubles of Richardson, Hill and Frye. Ye Feng also remembered this tall shooter with whom he had only worked for one season, and the Trail Blazers did not renew Frye's contract last summer, but let him become a complete free agent, and was eventually acquired by the Suns. It has to be said that Frye is very suitable for the Suns' fast-break shooting system, and Gentry also gave him enough opportunities, compared to averaging 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game in the final season of the Trail Blazers, Frye can average 27 minutes per game this season, contributing 11.2 points and 5.3 rebounds, is the Suns' fifth leading scorer, and has also started 41 games.

After finishing the regular season, the Trail Blazers get four days off for the first game against the Suns on April 18 at the American Airlines Center in Phoenix. McMillan did not gather the players for a large dose of training, but only arranged for them to do some recovery training that was not very intense, which could not only reduce the fatigue caused by long-term battles, but also ensure that they maintained a good competitive condition in the playoffs. However, he was more concerned about Roy's situation, and in order to ensure the recovery of the injury after surgery, he did not let Roy return to Portland and remained in Los Angeles.

The doctor who operated on Roy said that Roy's recovery after surgery was much more optimistic than expected, which made McMillan happy, because now the Trail Blazers really can't afford to be short of people, otherwise there is no hope of winning in the first round. However, it is still just a routine check-up after surgery, and in many cases, it is not possible to come on the field without a problem, and professional teams have their own methods, if they can't pass the test, they can only sit on the bench in formal clothes, and then wave a towel when their teammates score. If Roy can make a comeback in the playoffs, the help to the Trail Blazers is immeasurable.

But McMillan didn't want Roy to come back so soon, and he was still a little sorry for the player. The Trail Blazers knew that Roy had injury concerns when they first selected him, but they resolutely brought him to Portland because of his super high ball IQ and mature and steady character, but from the beginning of his rookie season to the present, Roy has averaged no less than 35 minutes per game every season, and even more than 37 minutes for three consecutive seasons since the 2007-08 season, which is a huge pressure on him. But Roy never complained, even if he was plagued by injuries because of it, and continued to fight on the court like a nobody after his comeback, McMillan knew he was very useful, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Ye Feng wanted to know what Roy's situation was and what other thoughts he had in his heart, so he directly asked the coach for a leave and flew to Los Angeles, and found Roy's ward with ease. Judging from his face, Roy was indeed recovering well, and he could walk around the room, seeing Ye Feng push the door in, his eyes widened, and then he smiled and asked Ye Feng to sit down on the chair on the side. Before his butt was next to the chair, Ye Feng asked, "Brandon, how is your injury?" Is the playoffs still in time? I've heard you're recovering well. ”

Roy laughed and said, "If you can withstand it, it doesn't matter if I rest a little longer in the playoffs." ”

Ye Feng shook his head: "The pressure is too much, I can only say do my best, I don't know if I can get by in the first round." ”

Roy's eyes flashed, and he said slowly, "Let's take a look first, maybe I can give a hand." ”
