1297 James injured, retired tour interrupted
The coach just wanted Wang Yi to enjoy his 10,000th point, so Wang Yi was not sent on the court in the last four minutes, but no one dreamed that they would never see the two kings connect again.
At this time, James is leading the team.
Perhaps because he was stimulated by Wang Yi's 10,000 points, he scored 6 points in a row as soon as he started. Everyone felt that James was in good condition today.
However, in the fourth round, James fell to the ground when he broke through.
And Arthur also fell down and landed on James' left knee.
The next moment, James screamed.
The whole person curled up into a ball.
Holding his right knee with both hands, he moaned in pain.
Big beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
Everyone present felt their hearts sinking suddenly.
Everyone knows that James is getting old and his body is no longer as durable as it was when he was young.
During this season's retirement tour, he didn't take any rest.
His physical fatigue has accumulated to a certain level, and the more tired his body is, the more likely he is to be injured.
Wang Yi, who had a towel on his shoulders and was joking with his teammates, looked gloomy at this time and followed the team doctor quickly to the court.
James' personal doctor also rushed over and lay down next to James.
Asking loudly: "LeBron, how do you feel? Tell me your true feelings."
James turned over and lay on the ground holding his knees, wailing in pain.
His left knee had swollen rapidly and was a full circle wider than usual, looking very scary.
He said intermittently: "I heard a sound from my knee... ah... a snap... ah... it hurt like tearing..."
When everyone heard this sentence, their hearts sank suddenly.
With this description, it is likely that the cruciate ligament of the left knee is torn.
This is no small injury.
It would take at least half a year for a normal person to fully recover from this injury.
The high-intensity confrontation in the NBA will take longer.
Players who suffer from such injuries may take as little as one year or as many as three years to recover.
Klay Thompson suffered this injury and took 941 days to return.
Fultz suffered this injury and returned in 418 days.
Moreover, after suffering this kind of injury, his condition generally declined after his return.
Windy City Rose Rose's data before injury was 21.8 points, 7.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds.
After returning from a torn cruciate ligament, he scored 15.9 points, 4.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds.
Others like Lowry, Leonard, and Clay generally declined in form after returning.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be players who have improved instead of falling after their comeback, such as Jamal Crawford, who averaged only 9 points per game in the season when he was injured.
But after returning from injury, he scored 50 points at every turn. In his most glorious season, he averaged 20 points per game.
But this is a very rare case.
James, who is now almost 41 years old, may not recover for a year.
Even if it could be restored, it would be impossible to return to its current state.
At this time, four words hung above James' head and in everyone's heart.
That is - season reimbursement.
The team doctor on the sidelines immediately called for a stretcher to come in. He wanted to do a preliminary examination on James in the locker room.
However, James shook his head: "King, help me up."
Wang Yi immediately bent down.
Together with Mitchell, he helped James up.
Then the two put James' arms on his shoulders.
James stepped on the ground with his right leg and kept his left leg in the air.
The pain made the muscles on his face even twitch a little.
Wang Yi said nothing because he knew how serious the injury was.
Countless NBA stars have fallen victim to this kind of injury.
Mitchell asked worriedly: Boss Le, how do you feel?"
James' thick lips were tightly closed and his teeth were clenched.
Apparently he was holding back the pain.
The two of them carried James and walked toward the players' tunnel.
Before entering the players tunnel, Wang Yi turned his head inadvertently and saw Arthur.
There was a trace of gloating expression on that guy's face.
Anger suddenly arose in Wang Yi's heavy heart.
After entering the player tunnel, James took a deep breath and said to Wang Yi: "This damn injury... Wang... If I end up leaving the game... I hope I leave standing... instead of lying down.
On a stretcher.”
When Wang Yi heard this, his heart became even heavier.
The fact that James can say this means that he knows his body very well, and he already knows that it will be very difficult for him to come back again.
Mitchell was comforting James at this time: "Boss Le, look, we are in such a good situation this year. You can rest assured to recuperate. With the support of the boss, there is no way we will fall. We will definitely be able to easily enter the playoffs."
.Now there are still 4 months for you to recover from your injuries."
"With your body, four months is enough time to recover. Even if you can't catch up with the first round, second round or even the Western Conference Finals, you can at least catch up in the finals. You still have to win a championship and catch up with Jordan.
Footsteps. So don’t say such depressing words.”
James smiled bitterly in pain.
Then he continued to say to Wang Yi: "Wang, from now on on the court, I can only rely on you to take care of Brownie."
There was quite a hint of entrustment in his words.
Wang Yi said nothing.
His mood was quite heavy.
I thought I could accompany this veteran who has played for 23 seasons to the end of his career.
Unexpectedly, today may very well be the last game the two of them play together.
A cameraman followed James.
From the players tunnel to outside the locker room door.
James entered the locker room and Wang Yi closed the door with a bang.
The hearts of the audience seemed to have been hit hard.
Everyone was silent.
Wang Yi did not return for the remaining 4 minutes of the second quarter.
Without Wang Yi and James, Arthur began to show off his power.
In these four minutes, he scored 12 points in a row in the penalty area.
Coupled with thick eyebrows, the three-point touch seems to be back.
In the end, in just 4 minutes, they hit an 18:3 climax.
Not only did they equalize the point difference, but they also went ahead by one point.
At the end of the first half, Arthur roared loudly when he came off the field:
"ah……"
It seemed that the bad luck of being defended by Wang Yi in the first half was wiped away.
When Xu Jingyu saw this, she couldn't bear it anymore:
"It's a shame, it's a shame. Do you want shame? Do you want shame? When Wang Yi and James were present just now, why didn't you do it? I asked you if you want shame?"
"Wang Yi's presence restricted you from scoring zero points in today's sports games, and you barely scored 6 points with free throws. You still have the nerve to show off. There are no tigers in the mountain, and the monkey is the king."
Chapter completed!
