Chapter 545: Warcraft is out for the season(1/2)

If Kobe Bryant said that he was the number one in the world of resistance to sex, no one would dare to refute him this season.

With this physical talent, James, who is 37 years old and averages 37.2 minutes per game, can be even better.

With this kind of physical condition, people in later generations still say that Kobe has no talent?

If Kobe has no talent, then Lian Dao really doesn’t know what it means to be talented in the NBA!

Except for Kobe's small hands, all his talents are among the best in the league.

However, Lian Dao also obtained James' injury insulator before.

His physical endurance is now the same as James's.

Of course, this does not mean that Lian Dao can be unscrupulous.

You must know that the maintenance James spends on his body every year is also very important.

If Lian Dao doesn't pay attention to physical maintenance, even if he is an injury insulator, he will not be able to achieve the same effect as James.



After entering April, it will officially enter the final stage of the regular season.

However, the Knicks still have 13 games to play in April, three of which are back-to-back games.

The Knicks only need to win half of those games to maintain the league's first record.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for the Knicks.

But no one dares to be blindly optimistic. Although the schedule in April is not difficult, the opponent's strength is not weak either.

This month they will not only face the Bulls twice, but also the Magic, Heat, Celtics, Pacers and Hawks.

These teams are all strong teams that are basically guaranteed to enter the playoffs.

It will not be easy for the Knicks to win against these tough opponents.



On April 1, the prediction of the Bulls coach came true. A large number of players will be injured this month.

And the first unlucky guy born was Howard.

On the first day of April, during the Magic's game against the Denver Nuggets, Howard was exempt from the game.

The reason is that in the last game against the Mavericks, Howard was punched in the waist by Mavericks center Haywood and injured.

Fortunately, it was nothing serious. Magic management said in the press conference that he only needed to rest for a few days.

On April 5, in the Knicks' game against the Magic, Howard did return to action.

However, Howard was not in very good shape in this game.

Moreover, it seemed that his waist injury had not yet recovered, and he was not exerting much strength.

In particular, the Knicks did not double-team him in this game.

But he only took eight shots in the game.

In the end, Howard played 40 minutes and only scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.

And against him, Cousins ​​​​caught down rebounds in this game.

In the final game, under the leadership of Lian Dao, he easily defeated his opponent.

After the game, the media criticized Howard's attitude towards the game and believed that Howard lacked responsibility.

However, Howard stated on social media that he had just come back and he still had some pain in his waist and was not in good condition.

In the next game, he will prove that he is still the strongest center in the league.

However, in the Magic's next game against the 76ers, Howard collapsed due to lower back pain at halftime.

But at that time, Howard did not choose to leave the game, but still endured the pain and played the entire game.

Moreover, in this game, Howard, who played for 44 minutes, also scored rebounds.

And led the Magic to defeat the 76ers.

Therefore, although Magic fans were worried about Howard's physical condition at the time, they did not think how serious Howard's injury would be.

However, shortly after the game, the Magic received shocking news.

Howard suffered a herniated disc and required surgery. Although the surgery was not major, it was impossible for Howard to return to the game in a short time.

This also indirectly announced that Howard was out for the season.

After the news came out, it was as if one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Before this season, Howard had only missed one game due to injury in his career.

In the past seven seasons, he has missed only five games in total.

Except for one game due to a cold, the rest were on the day before the All-Star Weekend or the last day of the regular season.

Therefore, no one could have imagined that Mr. Superman, who is not yet 27 years old, would actually become a member of the army of injuries this season.

After news of Howard's injury came out, Lakers fans were actually a little thankful that the Magic management had increased their salary.

If Howard was injured after coming to the Lakers, it may not be possible whether the Lakers can make the playoffs this season.

Even if they make it in, they will probably be out of the first round of the playoffs.

The current situation of the Magic is just like the speculation of Lakers fans, because they still have 10 games to play.

The Magic are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, only one game behind the fifth-place Hawks and fourth-place Pacers.

If Howard is not injured and the Magic work hard, they can even stay in the first half of the playoffs.

But with Howard's injury, the Magic's next record can be imagined.

Let alone climbing up, they may not even be able to keep sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

If the Magic fall to seventh or eighth in the Eastern Conference.

At that time, the Magic will face the Knicks, Heat or Bulls.

The Magic are unlikely to win against these teams, even if Howard is not injured, not to mention that Howard is out for the season.

Therefore, the Magic team is basically in the first round!

With Howard falling, some fans of Eastern Conference teams even hope that their team can meet the Magic in the first round.

Without Howard, the Magic wouldn't be a playoff team at all.

Therefore, that team met the Magic in the first round and basically made it to the semifinals.

This also corresponds to the saying: a tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog!



"Should sickle need to take a rest?"

When the New York media and fans saw the iron-clad Howard kneeling down, they didn't feel gloating in their hearts.

Instead, he was worried about his own star player.

Although Lian Dao has no injuries this season, the team's injuries have not stopped since the beginning of the season.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fans are also worried that it is the end of the season and if their star is injured, they will really cry.

Moreover, Lian Dao averaged 37.8 playing time per game this season, ranking among the top in the league.

So, the New York Times was after the Knicks' game against the Magic.

I appealed to the Knicks management with a report that said, "The Knicks are increasing the rotation of players and want to be like the Spurs."

As for why we should follow the Spurs.

That's because Popovich, this old guy, does have two skills.

It can be said that 90% of the teams in the league now hate this shortened season.

But there is one team that is an exception, and that is the San Antonio Spurs!

Previously, in late March, the Spurs had won six consecutive games.

After entering April, the Spurs' winning streak did not end, but continued to expand.

So far, the Spurs have won 11 consecutive games.

From the previous fourth place in the Western Conference, it jumped to the current second place in the Western Conference.

Even if the record is compared with the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is No. 1 in the Western Conference, the difference is only one win.

With the current situation, it is just around the corner to equal or even surpass the Thunder.

This may be difficult to imagine for some people.

It stands to reason that there are a group of old guys in the Spurs, and they should hate this shortened schedule the most.

But the result is exactly the opposite. Popovich and the Spurs are very good at performing in a shortened season.

And, not just once!
