244, bad news and gloom
It is said that there are no accidents, but accidents always come unconsciously.
That kind of suddenness often makes people feel endless pressure, and makes people sigh at the unknown nature of human life.
Fast forward to February 15, 2005, and a fierce game was being played at the Toyota Center, between the Houston Rockets and the Washington Wizards.
After the start of the NBA, it is often felt that time flies, from the end of December, another two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Wizards have been singing all the way to the Toyota Center for a much-watched derby.
This is the first and only time Wu Di has visited the Toyota Center this season, but it has left a very strong mark on his life.
The field in the center of the Toyota Center Arena is also where the focal point lies.
Wu Di stood calmly outside the three-point line, and by this time, Arenas had already crossed the midcourt with the ball.
At this time, the momentum of the Wizards team is very high, although the first half is not over, but the Wizards players, including Wu Di, already think in their hearts that this will be another victory.
The derby has lost its meaning for Wu Di, because only Yao Ming's Rockets and Wizards are completely powerless.
Arenas dodged the defenders and sped towards the inside, and the formation of the two sides on the court changed abruptly with his onslaught.
In an instant, Wu Di went straight to the inside.
Arenas' pass also went past three players and into the hands of Wu Di in an extremely incredible way.
The entire stadium suddenly exclaimed at this moment, and everyone thought. Wu Di, who hit the basket at such a high speed, no one can stop him.
Everyone is ready to witness Wu Di's dunk. Including Yao Ming, who was guarding the inner line, also flashed to the side.
Wu Di took two steps at high speed. With a low roar, the whole person rose from the ground and rushed to the basket.
After a powerful and heavy hand was clasped, the entire arena also resounded with a burst of screams.
Wu Di fell to the ground with great satisfaction.
But without standing firmly, the whole person actually slid out of the field diagonally and fell crookedly beside the photographer.
The tense and shocking situation appeared at this time, because Wu Di was unable to stand up for a long time, and he was lying on his back on the ground with a painful expression. And both knees were clasped with both hands......
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Toyota Center changed abruptly.
……
News of Wu Di's injury spread around the world at the speed of light, and then caused an unprecedented shock.
For the fans, this qiē was too sudden, how could a good player be so injured? You know, before the injury, Wu Di's condition can be described as excellent, and he has been maintaining a very good competitive state.
Just because of a dunk? A young man with a talent for demons has fallen? This is unacceptable to all.
And after getting the whole news, the first reaction in everyone's hearts was regret.
Yes, sorry. No one regrets that Wu Di's good season momentum has come to an end.
Before the injury is gone. Wu Di's table is definitely at the MVP level, and the Wizards are also firmly in the position of the best record in the league. Under such conditions. Wu Di is definitely the only candidate for MVP this season.
As everyone said before, if there are no accidents, Wu Di will definitely get the MVP.
However, the accident did happen after all, which made everyone feel an inexplicable shock, followed by endless regret.
In the first time Wu Di was injured, many people felt that even if Wu Di was not seriously injured, looking at the way he looked on the court, he would need to take a break for a long time. And in that case, his advantage in the MVP race will be completely reduced. If Wu Di's competitive state is affected again after returning from injury, then the MVP, who has no way to run, is afraid that he will really not be able to get his hands on it.
This is a pity for everyone, after all, before that, his contribution to the season was completely equal to last season.
Most people are curious about how Wu Di is injured, but at the same time, people are worried about whether the Wizards' strong season will be terminated by Wu Di's injury.
The answer seems to have been revealed in this game.
After Wu Di left the court with an injury, the Wizards were completely unable to play with the style and strength of the league's No. 1 team in the second half. Everyone didn't seem to be able to digest this sudden scene, so that the mental state on the field was a little trance, and the final score was extremely shocking.
116:94, this is the final score.
In the past, most people would think that the former was scored by the Wizards, but this game was the opposite, the Wizards only scored 94 points, and they suffered their biggest loss of the season.
You know, in the first half, the Wizards scored 56 points, but after Wu Di left the game with an injury, the Wizards only scored 38 points in the second half. And let the Rockets score 70 points.
Although it may be a mental state of mind, it has to be said that the Wizards only scored 38 points completely undeservedly.
This game may not prove anything, so everyone will also focus on the Wizards' subsequent games.
Would the Wizards still be the league's premier team without Wu Di? This is a question for all.
After Wu Di left the field, he was examined by the team doctor at the Toyota Center, and the initial diagnosis seemed to be a bit surprising.
Collins said it was inconceivable and could not be believed.
So before the game was over, Wu Di was sent back to Washington by special plane.
Such a scene immediately caused a shock among fans all over the world, could it be said that Wu Di's injury is more serious? So much so that you can't delay for a moment?
This is what everyone wonders, and everyone wants to know what Wu Di's injury is.
After returning to Washington that day, the management of the Wizards immediately organized the team doctor to conduct a comprehensive examination of Wu Di, and the results were completely consistent with the previous initial diagnosis, and even stricter.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire Wizards team became extremely grim.
The guys in management also seem to have a hard time believing it. On the next day. Several well-known doctors from the United States came. are all to review Wu Di's injuries.
As a result, the cartilage of the left and right knees was damaged, and the meniscus of the left knee was torn.
Such an injury is already unacceptable for one thing alone, and it seems that whether the two can be recovered at the same time is already a very big problem.
The examination, which lasted for two or three days, made Wu Di feel doubts in his heart, and at the same time, a layer of worry also floated in his heart. Under constant questioning, Collins still told Wu Di his true situation.
After learning about his knee injury. Wu Di was completely stunned. Why did you get such an injury without any warning?
Wu Di is not stupid, he knows from the team doctor and already knows what this injury means.
In the history of the NBA, there have been players who have had this kind of injury, and the result is also very tragic, that is, retirement, and no one has been able to recover from such an injury.
And now, he suffered two knee injuries at the same time, which instantly hit Wu Di's head and lost the ability to think.
To know. Until then, he was still enjoying his season of improvement, enjoying the upcoming crowning MVP. I'm enjoying the momentum of the team, and I'm also fantasizing about whether I can win the championship this season.
But the qiē was destroyed in an instant, he was knocked down by the injury, and this qiē was completely going to leave him.
Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, Wu Di could only accept this kind of tragedy.
And everyone in the team also comforted Wu Di, that is, to take care of the injury and put the mentality down.
Wu Di's love is not going to get better because of these words, on the contrary, his love is getting worse and worse, so pessimistic that the qiē that has happened in the past few years may be a dream.
But the arrival of Bell and his son Wu Xing told him that this qiē was not a dream, but a reality.
It can be said that the arrival of the two people gave Wu Di spiritual comfort and eased the bad love.
For the Wizards, they can't hide this kind of news. After all, what happened in the past two or three days will really surprise and wonder the outside world.
And finally, on the 18th, the news came into everyone's field of vision with the opening of All-Star Weekend.
At this time, maybe Wu Di still succeeded in grabbing the headlines, but he definitely didn't like such an alternative way to grab the headlines.
Cartilage damage and meniscus tear in the left and right knees also shocked everyone with the news of such injuries.
And then, the original regret has become unacceptable, in their opinion, this Wu Di may become a tragic hero.
It's hard for a player to recover from such an injury, and what it means is very clear.
Perhaps, the career of this talented young man is about to come to a fork in the road. Those who know this feel so in their hearts.
Many people can't help but think of Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway, two players who were completely indescribable in the first few years of their careers, and are known as the best Jordan successors.
But in the end? Injuries crushed the two geniuses and wore down their ceilings.
And now, Wu Di is also suffering from such a scene, and the injuries are much more severe than these two, so everyone can't help but wonder, can this Wu Di survive and return to the game?
Although the answer is not out, it seems to have been decided: suffering such an injury, the player's career means that it is already coming to an end.
The sighs gradually intensified, and the entire Wizards, or the entire Washington, seemed to be overshadowed in an instant.
All the good things seemed to be coming to an end with this sudden injury.
Now the question is slowly beginning to evolve, not only whether Wu Di can survive, but also whether the Wizards can survive this difficulty?
More and more eyes were on the Wizards' subsequent games, but the results were disappointing, as the Wizards lost two games in a row and suffered a three-game losing streak.
It also makes people realize the importance of Wu Di to this team.
And during the three-game losing streak, Wu Di also underwent surgery, which means that his season is reimbursed, which means that the harvest season is reimbursed.
The Wizards have been clouded with Wu Di's season reimbursement, you know, counting the loss against the Rockets, the Wizards played a total of 52 games, and the record is 45-7, which can definitely be said to be another leap forward.
But now, the Wizards are in an unprecedented crisis...... (To be continued......)
