Chapter 566 Durant Torn Achilles Tendon
Just when the fans thought the 76ers were going to stop in the Eastern Conference finals, an accident happened.
During a breakthrough, Durant suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Fans immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Durant covered his ankle, frowned and asked Harris: "Did you kick my ankle?"
Harris shook his head in a daze: "I haven't met you anywhere."
"damn it……"
Durant has a feeling that disaster is imminent, and instinctively tells Durant that his injury this time may ruin his career!
The teammates surrounded Durant with concern and asked about Durant's injury.
The team doctor is also on the field, and the Canadian Airline Center is full of noise.
Why are there so many injuries in this year's playoffs?
Durant was carried off by the team doctors, and the game between the Raptors and the 76ers continued.
Because the Raptors gained too much advantage in the first three quarters, the 76ers' crazy counterattack in the last quarter did not have much effect. The Raptors still won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Raptors won Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals, but the whole team was unhappy.
Because Durant's injury report shows that Durant is not a sprained ankle, but a torn Achilles tendon!
Although Durant's Achilles tendon was not completely ruptured, the tear and rupture were not much different.
There are many superstars in history who have been ruined by ruptured Achilles tendons.
Thomas, as the only top point guard in history who defeated Jordan, Magic and Bird Bird in the playoffs at the same time, the smiling assassin Thomas ended his career because of a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Kobe Bryant, the greatest basketball player after Jordan, tried his best to bring the Lakers to the playoffs, causing a complete rupture of his Achilles tendon.
In order to recover from the injury, Kobe was injured for 240 days, and his shooting rate dropped greatly after his return from injury. He was dubbed the "Iron King" by a new generation of fans who had never seen Kobe at his peak.
In fact, Kobe's shooting percentage before the Achilles tendon rupture was higher than that of Iverson, McGrady, Carter, and Durant in the same period.
Cousins, who played for the Pelicans, was the league's No. 357 center who once formed the invincible twin towers with thick eyebrows. He was also suspended for [-] days due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Cousins, who came back from injury, couldn't find his game status. He was wandering at the peak of various teams such as the Warriors and Lakers, and he couldn't find a stable home for a long time.
Cousins' career was also on red alert with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Of all the players in the NBA who have ruptured their Achilles tendon, the only one who has overcome this level of injury is Dominique Wilkins, known as the essence of human movies.
Wilkins was already 32 years old when he ruptured his Achilles tendon. At that time, it was generally believed that he would choose to retire, but as a result, Wilkins returned as king after 283 days.
The game after Wilkins' comeback stunned the world. In the first game of his comeback, Wilkins played 39 minutes, made 26 of 13 shots and scored 30 points.
In the first season after his comeback, Wilkins averaged 29.9 points per game, almost stealing the scoring title from Jordan.
Then Wilkins played for another five seasons, and did not choose to retire until he was 38 years old.
In the six seasons after recovering from the injury, except for the last year when his state declined, Wilkins played even more against the sky than before the Achilles tendon rupture in the remaining five years, becoming the number one player in the NBA.
But examples like Wilkins are unique after all.
Durant's face was very ugly after the Achilles tendon was torn. Obviously, this level of injury is undoubtedly equivalent to a disaster for the arrogant Durant.
Whether Durant can return with full blood like Wilkins, fans have no way to predict.
But at least there is no big surprise, Durant has not yet won the No.1 throne in the league, and he is about to hand it over to others...
The Canadian fans wailed again and again, they all missed Ge Feng a little bit at this time.
If Ge Feng was still there, the Raptors might not have stopped in the first round of the playoffs last year.
If Ge Feng is still there, the younger Ge Feng may make the Raptors stand in the East and survive for ten years.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
The Raptors' management is willing to abandon Ge Feng and Ibaka for Durant, so they must do well that Durant is too old and may bear the risk of irreparable injuries.
The news of Durant's ruptured Achilles tendon shocked the entire management of the Raptors.
Ujiri, the well-known strategist who won the decisive victory over the Uzbek "Zhang Liang" thousands of miles away, also encountered Waterloo for the first time in his career!
The combined strength of the Raptors may not be as good as the top five teams in the West.
Now that the Raptors have suffered a serious core injury, they have suddenly been reduced to a team at the same level as the Celtics, Pacers, and 76ers.
Judging from the current remaining competitiveness in the East, whoever can break out from the West, the Lakers or the Clippers, will be the final champion of the year!
2021 is really the year that belongs to Los Angeles!
The Staples Center is located in the center of Los Angeles, California, USA, adjacent to the LALive development area, next to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex on Figueroa Street.
This is one of the greatest cities in the NBA.
Staples looks a bit like a building in outer space, and the night sky in Los Angeles can always imprint Hollywood on the arena.
The scoreboard in the arena is the best in the entire NBA, even the fans sitting in the highest stands can see it clearly.
In addition, the arena is located in the bustling area of Los Angeles, surrounded by many good hotels and restaurants.
In terms of transportation, the light rail can directly send fans to the door.
The Staples Center is right in the heart of Los Angeles.
When there are 3 kilometers away from the arena, the fans can see the huge portraits of the three historical centers of the Lakers Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal on the three buildings side by side in the distance.
This is Apple's advertisement on the three main buildings of the Figaro Hotel across from the Staples Center.
The three center forwards have different actions, and O'Neal has the highest position.
Although this is a commercial advertisement, it most intuitively promotes the Lakers' center tradition to people.
Those who win the inside win the world. This is the experience summed up by the Lakers in the past 50 years.
The Lakers still adhere to this creed in the small ball era.
Cousins, Davis, Howard, McGee...
As long as they are good insiders, the Lakers regard them as treasures.
Huge "Let'sgo, Lakers!" hangs at every entrance to the arena
On the banners and electronic display boards, the history of the Lakers winning championships and entering the finals is constantly flipping, as well as introductions to current Lakers stars.
There are five statues about the Los Angeles Lakers outside the arena, namely Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, legendary commentator Zeke Hearn and Shaquille O'Neal.
The arena's sixth sculpture, a sculpture of Kobe Bryant, is under construction.
I believe it won't be long before Kobe's statue will stand beside Shark and become the belief of countless young fans.
