Chapter 319: Injuries and illnesses

"Hey, Al Jefferson, concussion, although he can go down now, he still needs some rest, and I guess he will be back in early April. Troy Murphy, with a knee strain on his right leg, is already out of place, but to be on the safe side, let's wait a few days before letting him come back! Earl Barron, who sprained his left ankle and is estimated to be off for a month. Luther Hyde, with a strained ligament in his left foot, is estimated to need a week or so of rest before returning...... There aren't enough people! Sitting in his office, Larry Bird looked helplessly at the wounded in his hands.

Originally, the Pacers took the elite route, and there were only 13 people in the entire team, not even fifteen people stipulated by the NBA League, but now there are four injuries, and the entire Pacers are not fully staffed, which is really helpless.

Although they won at home against the 76ers, the next game they have to play will not be so easy to deal with.

But fortunately, the league's schedule is not bad, last year's Pacers were definitely the weak team in the East, so their schedule this season is weak on both sides, strong in the middle, in the next month or so, the Pacers will hardly encounter too many strong opponents, many games with strong teams, have been arranged in the middle of the period of time, the next team to play the Pacers, are the Celtics, Bucks, Bobcats, Cavaliers, after playing these teams, the rest of the teams are all weaker teams, Pistons, Thunder, Pistons (away), Wizards, then after a Jazz and Hawks, then a Kings, Heat, Rockets, Knicks, and finally a Cavaliers, Nets, Magic and Wizards.

Among these teams, of course, at the moment, all teams are ranked lower than the Pacers, and as for those weak teams, they account for more than half! It's because of this schedule that even if the Pacers' situation is not good, they don't pay much attention to it.

What the Pacers need now is to get through the March schedule, and then wait until the main players return, play a good battle, and then go to the playoffs to rush, according to the configuration of this year's Pacers, rush into the playoffs, there is no problem at all.

Of course, the main players still need to be rotated, and now Jim O'Brien has listened to Larry Bird's words and began to plan to give up some games so that his team's players can have more rotation time, for now, although the first in the league is a beautiful title, but the Pacers' bench depth and staffing are not enough to maintain this honor all the time.

Although the Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic, and even the pseudo-strong team Hawks, they are now ranked lower than the Pacers, but there are not too many injuries in their team, and they have planned to let their players have enough rest time since the beginning of the season, on the other hand, the Pacers' side has really little time to rest.

It's like Zhang Kong, almost every game needs to have more than 35 minutes of playing time, and Granger has to play for about 36 or 37 minutes when he needs to, and he can survive for a month or two, but he can't stand playing for a season in a row, so he takes advantage of the recent period of rest, except for an hour every morning to resume his workout.

Jim O'Brien didn't add any more training to the Pacers players, the purpose was to let them have plenty of rest, after the 6th played the Suns and returned to Indianapolis, the Pacers 7 and 8 rested for two days, played four games in five days, so that their energy and physical strength were seriously tested, and after the 9th played the 76ers, they also rested on the 10th and 11th, and on the 12th, they were going to Boston to play the Celtics, and the plane was booked to leave in the afternoon on the 11th, So they can still rest at home on the 10th, but unfortunately, Zhang Kong estimates that there is no time to rest! Because his family's big stupid is causing trouble again, after all, the big stupid is a bird of prey, it hasn't grown up, it's also a bird of prey, and the big curved beak and long claws indicate this...... Zhang Kong's home is a villa, Zhang Kong has been playing for five days and four away games in the past few days, and he hasn't been home for almost a week, and Joanna is usually no worse than Zhang Kong, she needs to run around the world for Zhang Kong to collect news about Zhang Kong.

Some of these messages are useful, some are not, and they all need to be handled by Joanna herself, so there is no one in this villa, Zhang Kong is not used to hiring people, no one is in the villa, so naturally there will be no one to feed the big idiot...... At first, it was okay to be stupid, because Zhang Kong left him a lot of meat before leaving, but after eating it for two days, the meat was gone, and he had to go out to find food, because it was not a big reason, at first it was looking for mice everywhere to eat, but this is a villa after all.

It's not a farm manor, how can there be so many mice, if you go to the city center, there may be more mice, but in such a high-end villa area, there are really not too many mice, it's not easy to catch mice, and finally Da Du still set his sights on those kittens and puppies who usually like to play around on the lawn, these animals are much easier to catch than those big mice.

A few days ago, he only went out at night to catch those puppies and kittens, ate them clean, and then went back.

But lately, this little bird has become a little bolder, and dares to go out and catch it during the day! This morning, Zhang Kong went out and forgot to feed it, it was hungry, so he flew out to catch the puppy and eat, it is already March, the season of spring flowers.

The ladies liked to take their puppies to play on the street or on their lawns, which also gave them a chance.

As usual, it squatted on the tree, then saw the target, rushed over and grabbed the puppy and ran away.

This trick is particularly useful in ordinary times, but today it has run into ballast, today this neighbor of Zhang Kong's family walked two dogs, a puppy, a big dog, the puppy is usually a little girl is particularly fond of the Bichon Dog, and the big dog is the big white bear dog, this dog is really good, nearly eighty centimeters tall, very strong, if it is an adult golden eagle, it is estimated that the big white bear can only deliver food, but unfortunately the big stay is young after all, when he pounced to prey, the puppy escaped to the belly of the big dog, and the big idiot can't catch the big white bear dog, so he can only fight with it there.

If you keep fighting like this, the domestic big white bear will definitely not be the opponent of the big fool, but there is still a creature in this world called the master! After the big white bear dog was entangled with the big fool for a while, the main force of the big dog ran over, and when he saw the golden eagle, he also understood that this was in Zhang Kong's house, as a die-hard fan of the Pacers, he naturally knew what Zhang Kong's house was raised, after all, this was also a big news in Indianapolis, so he deliberately went home and got a big piece of fish, and the entangled big fool had no way to fly, and finally could only be caught by the other party, and was helplessly sent to the police station.

Zhang Kong was training in the stadium, and when he heard that his family had entered the police station, he knew that something was wrong.

Now Joanna is not in Indianapolis, she is going to New York today, and she will come back in the evening, so Zhang Kong can only ask Joe Josh to take him to see, and when he comes to the police station, the atmosphere in the whole police station is not quite right.

Especially in the detention place, a big dog and a big bird stood on both sides clearly, the big dog was lying there, mixed with injuries, claw wounds and bites, it can be said that the scar base, and the big bird next to it stood there with a proud face, but it can also be seen that the wings and legs of this big bird were injured, otherwise it would not have been caught.

"You're really choking enough, labor and management because you have been in the police station twice!" After Zhang Kong walked into the detention center, he looked at Da Du standing there and sighed helplessly, but seeing that Da Du and the dog were fine, Zhang Kong was finally relieved.

At that moment, someone from the pet hospital was called to come and check the body of the two pets, of course, the money was paid by Zhang Kong.

Zhang Kong's neighbor next to him is also a fan of the Pacers, and he also likes Zhang Kong, and after Zhang Kong asked for a signed photo, he didn't ask for any compensation, which made Zhang Kong save another expense!

No, because of this incident, Zhang Kong remembered it, and now he really needs to find someone who can take care of him.

Of course, he is reluctant to give away this big bird, after all, he has raised it for so long, he also has feelings for Da Dud, and Da Du This guy is very psychic, from the fact that it goes out to hunt every night, and does not fly away after eating outside, but flies back to Zhang Kong's house to know, this guy really regards Zhang Kong as the master, in fact, this is the domain awareness of this big bird.

What does it say about its love home, it is completely Zhang Kong's own yy there, if it is really that smart, it will not be caught.

In order to be stupid and stupid, Zhang Kong picked such a guy, and today he went to the electrical appliance mall to give it a Xiaoice cabinet, which was full of meat, and it was usually adjusted to the state of heat preservation, and the door of the freezer also made Zhang Kong spend a lot of money to change it.

At the touch of a light, the door of this freezer will open, of course, in order to train Derdy to know how to use this freezer, Zhang Kong also spent a long time, but just like birds locked in a bird cage, they know how to eat the grain and drink water in the box, Derdy also experimented for a long time, and finally learned, and when it learned, Joanna came back from New York, she not only came back by herself, but also brought back a person for Zhang Kong...... An old man.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Joanna's family, this old guy is actually the boss of a shoe factory, and he is here to represent another person, a guy who Zhang Kong wants to cooperate, this guy has a nickname in the alliance, called a lone wolf!
