The day after the sixth game against the Suns, this news suddenly appeared on the front pages of major sports media in the United States, slamming into the eyes of all readers. Adrian fans felt
Nerves are racing! After two days of speculation and various intelligence bombardments, the Lakers official spokesperson finally stood up and acknowledged the correctness of many previous "messages" about Adrian's injury on the market, and said,
Adrian will most likely not appear in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.
The official statement of the Lakers, which was born just after the halfway point of the season, and has greatly expanded after the 63-point night, from the perspective of A fans, this is all the fault of the Suns, precisely because the Suns were playing in the fifth game
In the final stage, in order to prevent Adrian from scoring 63 points, he violently defended Adrian. His rough actions caused Adrian's injury.
Some people even pointed out that in the sixth game, Adrian touched his knee shortly after coming on the field, and after a dead ball in the third quarter, he also took advantage of the dead ball to continuously make tiptoe movements. This
Everything proves that Adrian played with an injury at that time, and why did Adrian play with an injury? It was obviously because of the Suns' violent behavior at the last moment of the fifth game that caused injuries to Adrian!
Therefore, the Phoenix Suns, who were in a depressed mood and had gone home to fish, were once again criticized verbally and verbally in the forum and in the media. The spattering of saliva turned the Phoenix Suns into a violent team that beats people when it loses, which is simply like the NBA.
of shame.
But is this really the case?
After the initial examination, the Lakers team doctor conducted a further detailed examination of Adrian. All this was done at the request of Phil Jackson. The final result was an overuse injury... so-called overuse.
Sexual injury is a kind of physical damage caused by long-term and large-scale intense exercise that is difficult for the body to recover in a short period of time.
In short, too much playing time and not enough rest time lead to overuse injuries of muscles and joints. Although it is not serious, it can even be said to be minor, but the situation is very troublesome. This kind of injury is not suitable for surgery.
And surgery will not have any effect. You can only rest more, take more care, and wait for it to recover slowly. It will not take too long. But it will take at least half a month of recovery to ensure that all problems are solved.
On the contrary, if you don't get a good rest, the situation will get worse and worse.
Since this season, due to the Lakers' weakness at the point guard position, Adrian has been reused since the beginning, and his average playing time per game has long exceeded the safety line of 35 minutes. After entering the playoffs, especially
During the game against the Suns, due to Kobe's injury, Adrian's playing time was once increased to more than forty minutes. In addition, Adrian has basically not suffered any injuries this season, so naturally there is no rest.
Opportunity. Adrian, who has played almost the entire season, can be called an 'Iron Man' in playing time. Even if the Suns' last rough approach has an impact, it will definitely not have a decisive impact.
In other words, all the verbal and written criticism that the Phoenix Suns have suffered are purely unwarranted disasters.
However, for the Suns, even if they suffered an unreasonable disaster, Adrian would have no psychological burden. What he was dissatisfied with was that he was suspended internally by the Lakers. Although his injury did not affect Adrian
Ann's appearance, but Phil Jackson clearly told Adrian that in the next home game of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, Adrian will not appear on the team roster. Will Adrian be allowed to play next?
When An enters the squad, Adrian's physical recovery status must also be considered.
This is what makes Adrian dissatisfied!
He felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his body. In fact, the team doctor also said that Adrian's physical condition did not affect his appearance in the game, but that he needed to be careful. However, Phil Jackson did not comment on this. He used the authority of his head coach.
Regardless of Adrian's objections, he forced Adrian to rest.
This incident made Adrian feel quite depressed. Although he was depressed, he did not resent Phil Jackson because of it, but was a little happy. In any case, Phil Jackson was indeed thinking about him. Adrian
An also knows that such minor injuries caused by fatigue may not cause any problems in a short period of time, but if time goes by, the possibility of injury will increase exponentially, and even once injured, it will be very serious and very likely to threaten
to your career!
Since Phil Jackson was thinking about himself, Adrian certainly couldn't blame Phil Jackson for this. It was just that he was inevitably a little unhappy. He finally reached the Western Conference Finals, especially in his memory, the finals of this time.
The opponent is still the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Against the Cleveland Cavaliers, there is no doubt that the Lakers will have a considerable advantage. Historically, the Cleveland Cavaliers were beaten by the Spurs. Although the Lakers are not as strong as the Spurs, they are overall better than the Cavaliers, not to mention Adrian's performance against the Spurs.
This future will become more and more versatile, but the 'little emperor' who is still very immature now is quite familiar with his current weakness of not being good at long-range shooting. He is confident that once he enters the finals, he will
One person can lock down LeBron James, but without LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers are just a piece of cake.
Especially after entering the finals, Kobe can come back. Kobe's offensive power allows Adrian to completely rest assured and devote all his energy to blocking the little emperor!
But the premise is that you have to pass the Spurs level!
Can the Lakers without themselves and Kobe Bryant win against the Spurs? It is still possible. As long as the flu suddenly prevails in the Spurs and knocks out Duncan, Ginobili, and Tony Parker, the Lakers will win.
However, Adrian thought that he was not the illegitimate son of the old man God, and he had been worshiping Buddha in his previous life. He guessed that it was unlikely that the old man God would make such an effort for him.
And if Adrian can play, although he thinks that even if he can play, the possibility of defeating the Spurs is not very high, but there is still a small chance, right?
As it is now, the Lakers are almost disabled. How can they compete with the strong Spurs?
The playoffs in both the Eastern and Western Conferences have entered the final stage.
In the West, the veteran Spurs continued to serve as the most powerful contender for the championship and the most gold-rich touchstone of the championship, advancing all the way to the Western Conference finals. The Lakers, who were not optimistic about everyone, made people all believe in them.
The team met the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals with their glasses shattered. However, most people believed that the Lakers' playoff journey ended here. Kobe was injured, and after Kobe was injured, he shouldered the responsibility of the Lakers.
Adrian is also on the injured list. Although the interior combination of Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom has been performing well recently, no one is optimistic about their performance against the Spurs' powerful interior line.
.
Two generals on the outside are injured, and the inside is obviously being suppressed. No one thinks that the Lakers will be spared this time and can overcome the difficult hurdle of the Spurs.
On the contrary, the Eastern Conference Finals still has a bit of a fighting spirit.
The Chicago Bulls ran into the Detroit Pistons. Although Big Ben rebelled, the Detroit Pistons still had their bones. They defeated the Bulls 4:2 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. On the other side, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by little emperor LeBron James passed six games.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the New Jersey Nets with a score of 4:2, leading to an unexpected encounter with the Detroit Pistons in the finals. As Jordan's successor appointed by David Stern, there is no doubt that he will encounter the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Blocking has a bit of a comeback. It should be noted that Jordan's main opponent in the early stage was the Detroit Pistons' bad boy army. When Jordan successfully defeated the "Jordan Law" with the help of David Stern, the league
No one can stand in the way of God's throne like those bad boys.
Now, LeBron James has led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in team history, but they have an unexpected encounter with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Especially last season, LeBron James had already suffered from the Detroit Pistons.
Under such circumstances, this season they met the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, which made people sigh, "You are so fucked up with your fate."
No one would think that this kind of Eastern Conference finals would not be intense enough, but it is intense, and it may not be beautiful to watch. Although it is said to be a battle between dragons and tigers, there is no doubt that this will be an extremely boring Eastern Conference finals. The Detroit Pistons relied on defense.
Relying on defense to win the championship, defense has long been engraved into the bones of this grassroots team. As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, head coach Mike Brown studied under **Vitch and is famous for only coaching defense.
It can be said that he has made no achievements on offense. In the final analysis, his offensive tactics are to leave everything to James. On the contrary, on defense, his training of the Cavaliers is quite effective. I hope these two teams will play as brilliantly as the Suns cannon or
A sharp attack like the Spurs' high pick-and-roll, that can only be wishful thinking.
The confrontation between these two teams can only be about muscle against muscle, swearing in greetings, the whistle blowing constantly, and the game frequently interrupted. As for who wins and who loses, and who has the advantage, each has his or her own opinion.
Some people think that the Pistons have an advantage because the Pistons have more experience and are far from being comparable to the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, some people think that the Cavaliers have more potential and LeBron's growth is really shocking.
The confrontation between the two teams, the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers, has not yet begun, but there are already eight immortals crossing the sea in the media, each showing his or her own magic, praising and criticizing each other. In the end, no one can convince the other, and they can only wait until the game actually begins.
Only after starting can the advantages and disadvantages be revealed. (To be continued...)
