Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 186 His existence is like a BUG

"Chen, here!"

"Chen, can Pence come back in the first round of the playoffs?"

"How is his wrist? Does he need surgery?"

On one side of the passage, the reporter stretched his neck and shouted at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu carried his bag and walked by as if he didn't see anything.

Today is the last game day of the regular season and the last game of the season for the Suns.

To Mavericks.

This game is very important.

The regular season rankings are almost clear. The top three positions in the Western Conference will not change much. The Kings, who have won 57 games, are still No. in the Western Conference.

With 54 wins, the Lakers could not catch up with the Kings no matter what, and could only settle for third place.

The Spurs have 53 wins, but they are ranked second with the advantage of being the Southwest Division champion. If you calculate it this way, the Lakers are a bit unfair.

But they are the defending champions and are strong. They are confident no matter who they play, so it doesn't matter.

Then there are the Suns and Mavericks.

At the beginning of the season, the Wolves relied on being more familiar with zone defense, and once had an excellent record, rushing to the first place in the Western Conference. However, as the season ended, they were thoroughly studied and fell behind. The Trail Blazers behind them were too far behind, and the impact was the same. Less than two teams.

The key now is home field advantage.

If they win this game, the Suns will win 51 and gain home court advantage by virtue of the difference in wins.

But if they lose, their record will be the same as the Mavericks' 50 wins, and because their records are worse, they will lose this important home court advantage.

When we rushed to the locker room, there were only a few players there, and Nelson and the others were busy preparing for the game nervously and orderly.

Skiles took advantage of the last opportunity to discuss the arrangements for this game with several assistant coaches.

The news is updated anytime and anywhere. For example, Nash's calf muscles are tight. Before this game, he has always been doubtful about playing. Whether he will play or whether he will play as a starter or as a substitute is unknown until the last minute.

But there are always channels to update the latest news and feed it back to Scales and the others for reference.

Because whether Nash plays or not is a completely different response strategy.

Chen Yu was also there.

First of all, Chen Yu is the head of the medical team. He must monitor the physical status of the players on the team at any time and update the coaching staff at any time to tell who can and cannot play.

Secondly, Chen Yu has always been interested in the tactics deployed by the coaching staff. He feels that it is like chess, with troops arranged in five positions. Based on the situation and strength of the chess pieces in his hand, he weighs and evaluates them, and then decides on the specifics. tactics.

It's very brain-burning and tests your wisdom.

For example, right now, they are discussing who should be at the second position, Vinnie DeNagro or Dan Marley.

With Hardaway absent, the Suns don't have many options available at the back.

The two of them have similar styles. They are both good at outside shooting and three-pointers, but Marly is better defensively. Zeng Jin is one of the Suns' tridents, able to attack and defend.

It's just that this season, Hardaway's attendance rate is very high. He has been on the injured list and has almost no chance to play. He has been away from the game for a long time and I don't know what his status will be like.

If Denagro is chosen, he will most likely not be able to guard Finley due to his poor defense.

Of course, the two of them have one thing in common, that is, they are the same age.

After serious discussion for a while, Skiles finally decided to let Mario Elie, who swings at the second and third positions, start at the second position.

Mario Elie, who is also labeled as an outside shooter, needs to be tougher defensively, or a little dirtier.

Looking up, Skiles saw Chen Yu and couldn't help but ask about Hardaway's recovery.

"Don't worry." Chen Yu gestured to him with his thumb and nodded with a smile.

In the end, Nash started.

It should have been done through injury.

Obviously, the Mavericks also know the importance of this game and need this home court advantage.

"I heard that we are going to play 7 games in the first round of the playoffs next season. Is this true?" Brian also came to the scene, still sitting next to Chen Yu, watching the game and chatting about some gossip.

Chen Yu glanced at Brian silently. This guy always asked for information from him.

"Yes, there is such a plan, but I don't know whether it will be implemented." Chen Yu has heard such rumors.

As for the reason, it's very simple, it's just for money.

If you play two more games, you can sell two more tickets, which is worth real money.

It seems that a broadcast contract is also involved. There will be more playoff games, which will also be beneficial to the TV station.

Brian rubbed his temples in pain: "That would put a greater strain on the players, and it would also add more uncertainty."

Five wins and three wins and seven wins and four means one more win, more tiring, and a greater risk of capsizing in the gutter.

"There is no way. You also know that the ratings are getting lower and lower, and David is also anxious." Chen Yu said helplessly.

The ratings and attention of the NBA are getting lower and lower.

This time, Jordan's comeback did not save the NBA like before.

"So attention is very important now." Chen Yu remembered another piece of news and lowered his voice: "This is what I heard. It is said that David attaches great importance to this year's draft. It is Yao Ming. David wants to use him to develop China. Market, you have also been to China. You should know that China is too big, with so many people, and the market prospects are great. So if we really have a chance to select Yao Ming, we should be able to reap the dividends of the Chinese market behind him. "

Brian obviously got similar news, saying: "It's a pity that our first-round pick is not high. According to his current popularity, he may be in the top three."

The season is coming to an end, and many teams are about to shift their focus and start drafting, and there are more reports about rookies.

There are no high-profile rookies this year, so Yao Ming, who is tall enough and flexible enough, is very attractive. Many media predict that his draft pick may be in the top five, or even the top three.

Which team doesn't lack big men?

He is still a big man who can run, jump and has good offensive ability.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can't give you the top pick and let you choose at will." Chen Yu shrugged.

Brian sighed, said no more, and concentrated on watching the game. This year's Mavericks are an offensive team and like to throw three-pointers from the outside.

Starting players one through five all have the ability to throw three-pointers.

The Suns also have some shooters on the outside, but this is just a tactical supplement. The Suns' main way of scoring is breakthroughs and distribution after breakthroughs.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, used three-pointers as a conventional weapon.

"It feels like more and more three-pointers are being shot now." Nelson complained.

Chen Yu nodded. After all, it was one point more than two points.

"Three-pointers alone are not stable enough. You have to play inside to be stable." Nowadays, if you can shoot a 35% three-pointer, you are considered a master, and if you hit the sky, your shooting rate is 40%.

As for the inside center, he can easily hit 50% to 60%, which is much more stable than a three-pointer.

Just as he was talking, Reeve LaFrentz received Nowitzki's pass at the wing three-point line, pulled up a three-pointer, and threw it in.

Two steps away from him, Ewing's face was full of confusion and question marks, as if he was saying that you are a big center, why are you running out and throwing three-pointers?

But the Mavericks have obviously made targeted arrangements. As long as LaFrentz takes action, he must be on the outside, looking for opportunities to fish Ewing outside the penalty area.

This kind of arrangement makes Ewing particularly uncomfortable. He can't guard the outside so much, and he can't really ignore it. People can really make three-pointers.

It can be said that the Mavericks coaching staff also did their homework well for this game.

But halfway through the second quarter, the Mavericks maintained their lead but never widened the point difference.

In Nelson's view, if you don't lead by more than ten points, you lose.

Because the Suns also gave up Hardaway, who averaged more than 24 points per game.

Mario Elie, who came on as a substitute, has almost no active offensive ability at his age. He was not good at active offense to begin with. Until now, he has focused on defense and only took 2 shots in total, all of which were iron.

So giving up a complete Hardaway is not an exaggeration.

Perhaps seeing his father's worries, Nelson Jr., who is a teaching assistant, said: "Father, Pence injured his wrist. But Taiyang's side has always been vague and secretive about his injury. If we say, Pence If the injury is not serious, they should have announced it to the public a long time ago, but doing so now only shows that his injury is not serious."

"No matter how quickly he recovers, it will take at least two weeks. One game on the 21st and one on the 24th. He should miss two games. We win this game, get the home field advantage, and then win first Two home games, even if he comes back in the third game, we already have a huge advantage and there is a high probability that we can eliminate them and advance."

Del Harris, nicknamed the Silver Fox, is also an assistant coach with the Mavericks. He nodded in agreement: "The Suns are very strong this season, but Pence was injured at the wrong time. As Downey said, we only need to win this game and advance to the second round. The hope is very high.”

This season, although the Suns' record is not perfect and their lineup is scary, no one dares to ignore the Suns.

I haven't seen many media keep saying that the Suns are a team capable of competing for the championship.

The regular season record was not good because old guys like Ewing and Olajuwon held back and did not let go. When it comes to the playoffs and the decisive moment, their experience is the most powerful.

So at the end of the season, the Mavericks once considered whether they should rush forward, rush to third, and let the Lakers compete with the Suns, or drop directly and run to sixth to avoid the Suns. .

But later I found it difficult.

If you can't rush forward, if you go backward, you will face the Lakers in the first round.

In the confusion, the sun seems to be the best choice.

Then no one expected that Hardaway would be injured in the last few games, which was like a gift from heaven.

Nelson folded his arms and looked at the court, his eyes falling on Nowitzki.

It is true that Finley is the team leader, but Nelson knows that how far the Mavericks can go in the playoffs depends more on Nowitzki.

So far, the Mavericks have not widened the point difference and are more than 10 points ahead of the Suns. There are several reasons.

First, Nash was watched to death by Kidd.

He was injured, and his body was already weak. Facing Kidd, a defensive master, he was beaten to death.

The passing organization is gone, the precise three-point shooting is gone, and the whole court is invisible.

Then there's Nowitzki.

Today, Nowitzki clearly did not perform well under Olajuwon's defense.

It felt like Olajuwon had seen through it and then suppressed it in all directions.

On the defensive end, Nowitzki has been criticized by the media for being weak.

Of course, this is also a fact. His rebounding is okay, but his frame protection is a mess. When encountering an experienced, physical and technical old guy like Olajuwon, he is really powerless.

And his strongest offense was not played.

Nowitzki plays in front of the frame, but his technique is not mature enough. He cannot turn back after falling into the low position. He often needs to move first or shake the frame to find the right rhythm before shooting.

But Olajuwon seemed to have noticed this and did a particularly good job of disrupting Nowitzki's rhythm.

He has long arms and is not afraid of confrontation. So far, Nowitzki has made 8 of 2 shots. You can imagine how miserable he is being defended.

In the end, the team was generally missing players and failed to defend against the Suns' offense.

Compared to the Mavericks, the Suns even played a more structured game, with Olajuwon passing the ball from the center, combining inside and outside, various pick-and-rolls, and partial coordination from hand to hand. He was also very selfless, not taking any chances, and also patient enough. Although he lacked Hardaway's scoring tool, he still scored a lot of points.

The Mavericks' defense is overall worse.

Because there are many white people, there are not such good defensive resources.

Just as he was thinking about it, Rivers said quietly: "Donny, maybe you are right, but I can tell you that Hardaway will definitely come back in the first game of the playoffs."

Seeing Nelson looking at him in confusion, Rivers turned his head and glanced across.

Through the crowd of moving figures, I could vaguely see half of Chen Yu's profile.

"Because they have Chen Yu, he must have a way to make Hardaway come back smoothly." Although I hate Chen Yu in my heart, I hate Chen Yu. If you become the head coach of a team, then choose a team doctor. , he would definitely choose Chen Yu without even thinking about it.

Nelson was stunned for a moment, then uttered a curse word.

Chen Yu's existence is simply like a BUG.
