Almighty Coach

Entering April, the NBA regular season also entered its final month, this time when the game was the most intense.

The bottom-ranked teams started to crazier, and they desperately want to lose and want to fight for a more advanced draft. If they accidentally win a game, they can definitely see the black face of the team manager.

The results in the top few are basically the home field advantage of the playoffs, and at this time they have to consider the first opponent in the playoffs, especially the first and second in the east and west. You can try to control the ranking. To select opponents in the first round of the playoffs. For example, they deliberately lost to a team, let their rankings rise a bit, squeeze out those opponents who do not want to meet in the first round of the playoffs.

The teams in the middle and upper rankings of the East and West began to fight for the home advantage of the playoffs. For example, the fourth and fifth places in the east and the west are only one place behind each other, and the record difference between each other is not too big. However, in the playoffs, the fourth place is one more home than the fifth place. In the case of such a small gap, the latter team will inevitably try to catch up and strive for a home advantage in the playoffs; in order to maintain the home advantage of the playoffs, the front team It is also very likely to win more games.

And those teams that are on the edge of the playoff threshold are desperate for every game. It is likely that if they win one more ball, they will enter the playoffs, or they may lose one more ball, and they will fall out of the postseason. The scope of the game may even be the same for both sides, and the relationship between them is the same. In the end, it will be better than the division record or the record for the entire west, before deciding who can enter the playoffs.

As for the Clippers, they certainly can't make the playoffs, and their first-round draft picks have also been traded to the Celtics. The Clippers now have good or bad results, but not very important things. They are more like a spoiler.

Next, the Clippers face a road trip to the East, they will go to Boston, away from the Celtics, and then to New York, against the Knicks.

...

In Boston, Celtics general manager Dennis found Arnold, the team's head coach.

"Coach Arnold, I want to know, are we planning to let players take a break recently?" Dennis asked.

"It was guessed by you. I will play the Los Angeles Clippers in the next game. I really plan to have a few key players take a break, just like the Spurs, Rockets and Cavaliers did." Coach Arnold continued: " At this stage, the player's physical energy consumption is relatively large, especially the main player, if you can let them rest for a game or two, it is also good for the player to maintain health and condition. Moreover, the Clippers also have a Los Angeles overtime team. The nickname, to fight a few extra hours with them, is more loss-making for us. "

"No, we can't take a break." Dennis said eagerly: "We must win the Clippers game!"

"Why?" Arnold looked puzzled, and he continued: "We are now ranked second in the East, but there is a gap of four games from the first, which is difficult to recover in the next game. Again said Come on, the Clippers are a Western team, and our win-loss relationship will basically not affect our ranking in the East. "

"But the Clippers are ranked too high!" Dennis said.

Arnold showed an expression that "the Clippers record is my fault."

Dennis had no choice but to explain: "We have a draft pick from the Clippers. A few months ago, this draft was drawn with a 10% probability, but now, this draft has fallen into the lottery. The edge. If the Clippers continue to win, we will become more passive in this year's draft. "

Arnold listened to the explanation and immediately frowned.

According to Arnold's understanding, the level of the next rookie is still very good. Several are based on the superstars in the league as a template, which shows that everyone has high expectations for them. Arnold himself also has a fancy rookie, so Arnold I also hope to get a higher ranking in the draft conference and select a favorite rookie.

"But I still worry that too much overtime will bring extra consumption to the players and increase the risk of injury." Arnold said hesitantly.

"Coach Arnold, the Clippers are a team in the West, so we only have two chances to play against the Clippers. We have played one game before, and the next game is our only chance to suppress the Clippers. It ’s more crucial. What ’s more, we can set an example for other teams in the league to let other teams know that as long as they can win, there is nothing terrible about playing overtime! "

"Well, I will let the players go all out in the next game." Arnold nodded reluctantly.

...

"The Celtics turned out to be the main lineup, and the Greens can really look up to us." Li Dai said with a relaxed list of Celtics players in his hands.

"I originally thought that players like Kettle would like to fight for the championship, like other teams, they will play against us on the bench. I didn't expect them to send all of them. It seems that they are really eager. Victory. "Assistant coach Kassel said from the side.

"Since the Celtics value us so much, we can't let them down. Let's tell our guys that this game is ready to play overtime!" The famous Devil, we have n’t won a victory in Boston for several years? This time everyone must work hard, even if they ca n’t win the Celtics, let them know that our Clippers are not casual. Soft persimmon pinched by others! "

...

"Unsurprisingly, this game really hit overtime. The nickname of the Los Angeles overtime team is indeed well-deserved." The on-site commentator said enthusiastically.

On the coach's seat, the Celtics head coach Arnold has a depressed expression. He obviously does not want to see the appearance of overtime.

"God bless us, let's overturn the Clippers in the first overtime and don't appear in the second overtime." Arnold prayed silently in his heart.

It was also at this time that the Celtics point guard Kerry took the ball to break through and collided with the Clippers' defensive player. Then Kerry fell to the ground and the referee's whistle sounded, giving the Clippers a block. foul.

"The number of fouls has come. It's time for a free throw." Arnold clenched his fists in excitement. However, the next second he saw that Kerry fell to the ground, did not get up, and covered his left knee with his hand, his expression was even more painful.

"Don't get hurt!" Arnold's expression gloomed instantly, anxious in his eyes.

At this time Arnold suddenly remembered that Kerry's left knee had been broken three years ago, and two screws were inserted into the left patella. Recently, Kerry also often complained that his left knee would be sore on the market. After inspection, it was found that it was caused by tendinitis in the left knee. At the place where the screw was forward, there was also a Staphylococcus infection.

It stands to reason that in this case, it should be treated early, surgery to remove the screws to avoid more serious infections, but now surgery, it means that the season is reimbursed, the Celtics are planning to hit the championship this season, so Kerry Can only insist with injury.

On the big screen at the scene, I finally gave the slow motion of the breakthrough just now. It can be seen through the camera from another angle. When Kerry broke through, the left knee and the Clippers ’defensive player ’s knees collided together. It was this impact that caused Kerry to fall to the ground.

"Oops, it was hit head-on." Arnold's heart tightened.

A player was injured and the game had to be suspended. The team doctor also went on the field and checked Kerry. Kerry's expression looked painful. He couldn't stand up at all and didn't look like he could continue playing.

After three minutes, the stretcher team lifted Kerry down and waited for further inspection. This game, he certainly cannot continue to play.

Kerry, as the team's core point guard, his injuries also directly disrupted the team's offensive rhythm. In the next few minutes, the Celtics' attack was blocked, but the Clippers caught up instead. The first overtime also ended in a tie.

...

"If it wasn't for Kerry's injury, there was no need to play a second overtime!" Arnold muttered silently in his heart, while expressing concern about Kerry's injury.

Kerry is an All-Star player and a point guard, so he is also the organizer and initiator of the Celtics offense, and is the core player of the Celtics. If he is not there, the entire Celtics tactical system will be affected, and combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"God bless, Kerry's injury must not be too serious."

While Arnold was praying to God, the Celtics were also organizing the offense. I saw that the Celtics small forward Gordon ran from the basket and the outside defender threw the ball directly to the basket. Go on, prepare for an air relay with Gordon.

However, the Clippers' defensive players are not dry, the center of the basket jumped directly, blocking the ball from the air.

At this time Gordon had already taken off, ready to complete this set of air relays, and it happened to collide with the Clippers center. Both were in the air, and no one could control their bodies.

However, the center's weight is larger after all, and the physical confrontation in the air is more advantageous. This physical confrontation lost Gordon's center of gravity when he landed. When he landed, due to the excessive impact, the left ankle even had a nearly 90-degree eversion.

Gordon fell to the ground in pain, and the referee had to terminate the game. The players closer to Gordon even turned their heads, daring not to see Gordon's pain.

"It must have been broken!" Li Dai secretly said, at this time the Celtics team doctor and head coach Arnold also rushed past.

"Why? Why did I hurt another one? It seems that Gordon's injury is more serious than Kerry. Maybe it will be the season's reimbursement!" Arnold's anxiety at this time was difficult to describe in words.

Gordon is also an All-Star player. Now Kerry's injury is undecided. If Gordon is injured again, he suddenly loses two cores. The Celtics may be cold in the first round of the playoffs.

"It's an ankle dislocation and tibia fracture! It's best to be sent to the hospital for surgery immediately." A voice sounded from behind everyone.

The team doctor turned back impatiently and said that this is where he came from. He never dared to give such a diagnosis before taking X-rays. Then he saw Li Daizheng standing there.

Li Dai detected Gordon ~ www.readwn.com ~ so he knew Gordon's injury as soon as possible. He couldn't bear Gordon has been suffering, so he simply said the diagnosis, hoping that Gordon can be treated as soon as possible.

"Coach Li, what did you just say? What fracture?" Arnold asked eagerly, at this time he could not care that Li Dai was his opponent.

"I mean, dislocated ankle and fractured tibia!" Li Dai repeated, and then said: "Unfortunately, Gordon will be reimbursed this season."

"How do you know?" The team doctor asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Besides being a coach, I am also a sports rehabilitation training expert." Li Dai replied.

After hearing this, Arnold immediately remembered that Li Dai's training center does have a sports rehabilitation business, and Li Dai, as the Clippers coach, dared to give such a judgment on this occasion, it must be based on.

At the same time, Arnold realized that if the diagnosis given by Li Dai was correct, and it was really a fracture of the tibia, then Gordon must have been reimbursed for the season.

"Two overtime hurt two core players. In this **** game, why should I go all out and learn the Spurs, Rockets and Cavaliers, just go on some benches and deal with the past casually? Not only will Deng not be injured, but he can also rest for a day ... I am really dying myself! "

A strong remorse rose from Arnold's heart.

There are some problems with the starting point system. This chapter was issued yesterday, but I just saw it and it was not published in the draft box in the background. Just now I ordered another publication, but the time showed that it was issued yesterday. Is the chapter just issued or was it released yesterday? I am still showing a chapter here. I do n’t know if the background will be repeated. I am afraid that there will be repetition. I will let you subscribe for nothing.
