Chapter Thirty-Seven: Bad News from the Sky
Injury? This is a terrifying word.
Could it be that Keynes was injured?
Keynes still didn't get up after two minutes, this guy was rarely injured before, and his super physical fitness was sometimes even amazing, such a guy was injured sometimes?
But the facts are in front of us, and Keynes did fall to the ground with a pained expression on his face.
The timeout had already arrived, but it was a special case, and the referee gave a little bit of hunger care.
The replay of the footage shows Keynes crashing into Chandler in the air after taking off, causing his body to lose balance and not being properly protected when he landed.
Keynes hasn't been injured since he entered the league, and Keynes should be very good at grasping a situation like this aerial confrontation, but why did he get injured this time when it didn't seem to be very exaggerated? The biggest possibility is that because of fatigue, this guy has been running wild for more than 40 minutes, after all, he is not an iron fighter! Injuries may also be inevitable. Who hasn't been hurt in this high-intensity alliance?
Keynes was still a little unwilling, and it seemed that he couldn't stand up, but he still didn't want to get off the field. The Warriors have never had a player who would give up easily.
The referee asked Keynes if he could hold on, and Keynes signaled that he could still take two free throws. But he had to be supported by his teammates.
A teammate lifted Cairns, who stood on one foot at the free throw line and took the free throw.
He's one step away from 50 points, and as long as he hits those two free throws steadily, he'll be able to step into the 50-point club.
Keynes stood on one foot, and it was obvious from the sweat drops on his face how much pain his leg was, but he also knew that this guy was desperately suppressing the main pain.
The first penalty was struck by Keynes. The entire audience stood up and applauded Keynes.
On the second penalty, Keynes paused slightly. At this point, the Knicks were ready to grab that rebound.
Keynes took a long breath, and it was clear that he was going to calm himself.
Second free throw hit. The audience once again burst into deafening applause. Fans also chanted Keynes Keynes' name.
I finally entered the 50-point club, and I didn't expect it to be so difficult and pay such a painful price.
Because Keynes was injured, the Knicks kicked off this time, and the Warriors could only foul immediately, because Keynes really couldn't continue to fight on the court, and it was certain that he had broken a bone, which was already a diagnosis. Judging from the extent of his pain.
Warriors foul substitution. Curry replaced Keynes into the lineup, and Lin Fei and Curry were in a dual point guard lineup. Keynes was helped back to the dressing room.
At this time, the Warriors had a 20-point lead and basically guaranteed a victory, but D'Antoni was obviously unexpectedly injured by Keynes, and he was afraid that the Warriors would collapse in the final moments, so he still sent the main lineup.
Perhaps D'Antoni is now beginning to regret why he didn't replace Keynes Kanes, but it's too late. But it's also a sign that the Warriors players may be really tired, after all, players like Keynes are like this, let alone veterans like Steve Jobs and Clauderson. But for the sake of victory, I don't care about the next few minutes.
After Keynes was injured, Lin Fei was the first player to rush into the field outside the field. This action can be said to completely shatter the rumors that he and Keynes Cairns have caused a feud over the team boss. Now that Keynes has ended, it is conceivable that Lin Fei must have a lot of thoughts in his heart. …,
For Lin Fei, the top priority now may be to win this game, with a 20-point lead, and there is little time left, it seems that there is no need to fight hard. But Lin Fei still habitually broke out. No matter how much he leads, Lin Fei will not show mercy to his subordinates, and he will directly complete two three-pointers on the court, completely erasing the Knicks' last hope of turning the tables.
After the game, the Warriors players looked heavier when they returned to the locker room, perhaps because of the lack of Keynes, who was originally an active member in the locker room, without him, the atmosphere would have been a lot more solemn, and his injury made his teammates not feel good, so it was naturally incomprehensible.
Compared with the player, D'Antoni may be in a heavier mood at this time, and since he joined the Warriors, Keynes can be said to be greatly used. Almost as a core position, whether it is offensive or defensive, Keynes's performance can be called a notification level, but now that Keynes is injured, what should he do? Perhaps in D'Antoni's heart, even the consequences of Lin Fei's injury were not as serious as the consequences of losing Cairns.
'Maybe it's time to replace Keynes because no one can run all over the pitch and still be fit, stay fit.' D'Antoni told reporters during the Warriors' press conference.
At this time, the results of Keynes's examination have come out, the leg is fractured, surgery is required, and it may take 6-8 months of recovery time, which means that Keynes's season has basically been reimbursed.
When asked by reporters what D'Antoni plans for the team, how will he arrange the next lineup. D'Antoni's answer was hesitant.
'Keynes Kannes' role in the squad is irreplaceable. But I believe the Warriors can still field a competitive roster. ”
If it is the old Nelson coaching, he said that the Warriors are still competitive, maybe no one believes it, because of his subordinates, the Warriors have 12 people in the rotation lineup, and the attack power is good, the rotation of the main lineup and the bench lineup is orderly, and the offense is quite balanced, but now the Warriors under the coaching of D'Antoni, only 8 people are considered to have entered the rotation lineup, and the others are basically playing soy sauce, and Keynes has been injured, so that the lineup is only 7 people, for the Warriors' style of play, Seven people are absolutely incompatible.
The challenge lies ahead. D'Antoni may have had several sleepless nights.
