The Way of the Center

In the field of professional football, most leagues have a winter break every time the season goes to almost December.

The establishment of the winter break is mainly due to the fact that the temperature in winter in Europe is too low. But I have to admit that the existence of the winter break has greatly restored the players' physical fitness, which will also reduce their chances of injury.

But in the world of professional basketball, such a thing does not exist. Even if the NBA has as many as 82 regular season games each season, players must nibble each game. All-star weekend? The All-Star weekend seems to be a time for players to get a full rest. But for those star players, the All-Star Weekend is the same as usual.

Countless stars have said that if the league is willing to shorten the length and number of games in the regular season, NBA games will become more exciting.

Because if the number of regular season games is reduced, the players will have fewer injuries. As a result, they will devote more energy to each game.

However, the NBA is always a business-oriented league, and those in suits don't care much about the health of the players. Even if James is reimbursed for the season, other superstars will stand up to replace him.

Look at this year's Kobe, he was reimbursed for the season, and the NBA did not see much impact.

Under such circumstances, the schedule of NBA teams is even a bit inhumane.

And this kind of thing happened to the Trail Blazers again.

※※※

Before the four who had just returned from New Orleans had time to catch their breath, they had to rush back to Moda Center non-stop.

Tomorrow, the San Antonio Spurs will visit Portland to challenge the opponent who swept themselves out last year.

Although last year's playoffs, the Trail Blazers have already defeated the Spurs once. But competitive sports is like this. You don't necessarily beat the same opponent every time, even if the opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Blazers team attaches great importance to this difficult bone. The experience accumulated from playing against strong teams will be of great use in the playoffs. It is for this reason that Ricard will start calling the team for training non-stop after the All-Star Weekend.

I just played the All-Star Game yesterday, and I immediately plunged into the intense training today. Not everyone can bear such a toss.

An Jie, who had been used to it hard, was nothing unusual, but it was obvious that Aldridge was already very tired during training.

Relaxing on Aldridge's training? No, of course it is impossible. Tomorrow, Aldridge will face Tim Duncan, one of the best power forwards in the world.

Even though Duncan is nine years older than Aldridge, his age in front of this "Rookie No. 21" never seems to be a problem.

Aldridge himself did not hope that every time he met Duncan, he had to rely on Anjie's help to pass the level.

Although very tired, Aldridge was still slamming himself.

It seems that the entire Trail Blazers are in very good shape, and everyone is working very hard.

However, the Trailblazers, who had been too smooth in the first half of the season, seemed to have forgotten that after the All-Star Game, it will be the peak of players' injuries!

※※※

The match on the second day was as intense as ever.

An Jie seems to have to go through a hard fight every time he confronts the Spurs to win. This was the case in the playoffs last year, and today’s game is no exception.

Ricard values ​​this game, Popovich and GDP are more important than Ricard.

As long as the Spurs want to go further in the playoffs, Anjie and the Portland Trail Blazers are a hurdle that they can't avoid. Only by surpassing this sudden rise can the Spurs attack the championship.

Therefore, the Spurs even more cherish the opportunity to play against the Trail Blazers in the regular season. Because of this, the two sides turned this ordinary regular season into a playoff-level battle.

Not to mention other people, even An Jie seemed to be struggling to play on the court. The repeated impact of Split and Duncan made An Jie miserable.

The anxious score between the two sides did not give the players a chance to breathe.

Alternate lead, continuous draw...These pictures have become the main theme of the game.

It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that the balance on the court was finally broken.

After successfully defending Duncan's hook, the excited Aldridge intends to continue to put pressure on the difficult No. 21 offensively.

Aldridge's running is very active, even if he feels his muscles are a little uncomfortable, this guy doesn't mean to stop.

Anjie immediately pulled the space for Aldridge, as long as there is enough space, Aldridge can score.

Lillard did not waste Aldridge's enthusiasm. He just dribbled the ball past half of the court and pushed with both hands to make the basketball quickly come to Aldridge's hands.

Seeing that Duncan was too late to make up his defenses, Split volunteered and posted behind Aldridge.

Aldridge felt the great pressure, and he was already very tired, and he couldn't calmly face such a defense.

So, Aldridge held the ball in both hands, with his left foot as the axis, suddenly turned to face the frame.

Aldridge's face-to-frame offense was as good as his back basket. Seeing Duncan had run to An Jie, Splitt stared at the second leader of the Trail Blazers wholeheartedly.

Aldridge observed Split's position and had to admit that the Brazilian center forward was very smart, and Aldridge couldn't find any space at all.

But it didn't hurt Aldridge, the guy started violently, intending to forcibly access Split with his shoulders on his shoulders.

"What are you kidding?" Splitter refused to give up, he took all the violent impact with his chest. I have to admit that although Aldridge is a technical insider, his impact is not inferior at all.

Split feels his chest is stuffy, but Aldridge is not easy to break through.

His exhausted muscles were protesting against this excessive use, and Aldridge's body seemed to have broken into a string. However, when Aldridge finally broke into the penalty area, the string...broken!

"Ah!" Aldridge yelled, and fell on his back.

Splitter spread his hands, but the guy's innocent expression was really not pretended.

Aldridge curled up on the hardwood floor of the Moda Center. Until this time, other people reacted, would he be injured? ?

"This **** Brazilian!" Lillard rushed towards Split with dissatisfied thoughts, but was caught by An Jie.

An Jie shook his head at Lillard: "I can see clearly that the kid Splitter did not move. Let's go, let's see how LaMarcus is."

An Jie anxiously pushed aside the crowds on both sides and squatted beside Aldridge. Last year, Aldridge also experienced injuries during the regular season. Although the Trail Blazers created a 27-game winning streak during that period, only Anjie and the others knew the hard work.

In any case, Aldridge's injury is by no means a good thing for the Blazers.

"How about, LaMarcus!?" Anjie asked, waving from the sidelines. He was signaling Ricard to let the team doctor come on the field.

Aldridge didn't answer, he just curled up on the ground in pain, unable to move at all.

After the team doctor came on the field, he asked Aldridge a few simple questions. But just as before, Aldridge couldn't respond.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and various TV stations were replaying the scenes just now over and over again.

It turned out that it was not Split's collision that caused Aldridge to become like this, but the shock after Aldridge went to the end.

"If the injury is on the waist..." The team doctor looked back at the defense, and more or less guessed where the injury was.

A waist injury makes it difficult for a person to straighten his back, let alone stand up and walk.

When Ricard saw this scene, he also yelled from the sidelines. This guy is complaining about the unreasonable arrangement of the league schedule, and that set of swear words "big gift bag" was all deducted by him on the head of the league senior ~www.NovelMTL.com~ For three minutes, Aldridge lay on the floor for three full minutes. Minutes, finally decided to try to stand up.

But when Anjie and Lopez brought Aldridge for vacation, Aldridge, who was holding his waist, was so painful that he could not move. It seems that the condition of this guy's waist may be really bad.

Seeing this, the team doctor pushed out a wheelchair. Anjie and Lopez helped Aldridge sit up, and the situation eased.

In this way, the four team doctors pushed Aldridge into the player channel. Ricard's yelling and cursing finally stopped-replaced by continuous coughing.

"Man, are you okay!?" Divac had just sent Aldridge away, only to find that Ricard, who had just cursed too hard, seemed to have something wrong.

"No...it's okay...cough cough cough!"

Ricard used a tissue to cover his mouth and coughed, but when he took it off, the white tissue turned dark red.

Without a doubt, Ricard had hemoptysis again. After that, Ricard's cough became more and more serious, and the serious referee did not dare to start the game. Because of the blood clotting in the throat, Ricard even had terrible breathing difficulties for a while!

The Trail Blazers team doctors circled Ricard again, and the entire Moda Center fans hugged their heads in panic.

The **** chronic bronchitis finally broke out.

Watching this chaotic scene on the coaching bench, An Jie suddenly had a blank mind, first Aldridge, and now Ricard. What a joke! ? What does it mean for a team to lose two team cores in a row? Think about it, if the Spurs didn't have Popovich and Parker, it would be a nightmare!

Two "surprises" came at the same time in five minutes? An Jie is really an out-and-out "God's darling"...
