Chapter 349 Injuries Strike! Poetry and Distance!

The Knicks, who have always been very lucky, encountered an accident in the Spring Festival war.

Sean Livingston, a general of the team, unfortunately stepped on Scola's feet when he landed on a fast break. After landing, Livingston was in great pain, and the game was immediately interrupted. Livingston returned to the ground with the help of the team doctor. Locker room for treatment.

Livingston also missed the following game between the Knicks and the Rockets. According to the team doctor's examination, Livingston's injury situation is not optimistic.

Lin Yi's healing technique can't be used on his teammates. Although Livingston has changed his style of play, the main reason for this accident is that Livingston himself was hilarious...

He flew up and wanted to dunk, and the dunk was picturesque, but he didn't stand firmly when he landed.

If Livingston could choose again, he would definitely choose a practical layup instead of a handsome dunk.

Injuries are unavoidable during the long season. The Knicks didn't suffer much injuries last year, and Tony Douglas' sprain didn't affect the team's overall situation.

However, Livingston is a very critical part of the Knicks' bench this season.

This season, Livingston averaged 17.9 minutes per game, was able to score 8.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 51.4%.

Without Livingston's mid-range output, the Knicks must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

"I hope Sean is okay, what the hell, he finally proved himself in the Knicks." Kenny Smith blessed.

"Hey, injuries are unavoidable in the NBA. Let's wait for tomorrow's inspection results." Barkley shook his head and sighed. Injuries can be said to be the worst enemy of professional players.

Livingston's career is simply a medical record of struggling with injuries.

After returning to the locker room, he cried like a child.

He chose to come to the Knicks with a basic salary last summer and accepted a change in his style of play in order to prove himself.

When it comes to basketball, Livingston is an absolute true love.

During the halftime break, his teammates stepped forward to hug him, and Livingston said guiltily to Lin Yi: "Sorry, I messed up everything."

Lin Yi touched Livingston's head,

"Sean, this is not the end of the world, we are waiting for you to come back."

...

The Knicks finally won the Spring Festival war with a more stable offense and defense.

But Livingston's injury made the Knicks have no mood to celebrate the victory.

Lin Yi has created a good locker room atmosphere in the Knicks. Livingston has a basic salary, but does many jobs that the middle class can't do. In the Knicks, everyone respects him very much.

Lin Yi and Dayao said goodbye in a hurry, and the Knicks flew back to New York. The next day, Livingston underwent an MRI examination. Fortunately, Livingston's injury was not as serious as imagined.

However, the team doctor suggested that Livingston should rest for four to eight weeks for the second-degree sprain of the medial ligament of the knee.

"Judging from Sean's past injuries, I suggest the playoffs, and if possible, let him come back in the second round of the playoffs." The team doctors suggested.

The Knicks coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief, it would be nice to be back, and Livingston himself said that he would insist on going to Madison Square Garden to cheer for the team during the injury.

Lin Yi took his teammates to visit Livingston. I have to say that "Karen Karen" is really optimistic. Lin Yi knows that in the future, he will travel to many teams and get a mid-level contract with the Warriors.

At that time, even Durant, who has always had a low emotional intelligence, expressed respect for Livingston. In an interview, Durant thought it was okay for him to take less, because Livingston deserved a contract in line with his worth. .

"Sean, we are waiting for you in the playoffs." Lin Yi's consolation made Livingston feel much better. Livingston had just settled in New York. If possible, he wanted to keep playing in the Knicks.

...

Livingston's injury made D'Antoni have to adjust the rotation. The Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh, who has been doing nothing, also began to look for players who could replace Livingston.

The Knicks' coaching staff discussed several feasible approaches. The first set is Dodge Norris joining the rotation, but it is obviously difficult for Dodge Norris to replace Livingston's role.

The second set is to let Lu Wei serve as the backup point guard. This set of plans is more feasible, but D'Antoni also discovered problems during team training.

Lu Wei's organizational stability can't be compared with Livingston's, and Lu Wei himself is used to only attacking and not organizing this season. There is no Lin Yi in the second team of the Knicks this year, and the Knicks' substitutes can win some by relying on chaos Competition, but when meeting some strong teams, it is easy to play yourself to death.

Assistant coach Donaldson suggested that Lin Yi could enter the bench to play "point forward" like last season, but this suggestion was directly rejected by D'Antoni, because the burden on Lin Yi's shoulders would be too heavy.

"What we have to consider is to reduce the burden on Lin, not continue to put pressure on his shoulders." D'Antoni said.

It's unrealistic to let Billups play more. This veteran is almost 34 years old. After all, Lao De is no longer the Mike-D'Antoni who will only die as the main force.

So the most feasible way is to find a point guard back in the free market.

Originally, Lin Yi wanted to recommend Jeremy Lin, but he found that he had also affected Jeremy Lin's career......

Jeremy Lin, who went to the Warriors, was traded early because of Ellis, and now he is doing well in the Warriors as a substitute.

"I can only choose from veterans." What makes the Knicks more uncomfortable is that at this time point, it is obviously impossible for the Knicks to find a good substitute.

...

On February 5, the Knicks returned home to face the Bucks. The Bucks are also a fringe team in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season. Jennings, who said he was the No. 1 player in the 2009 class last year, is much more low-key in the new season.

Thinking of Lin Yi's death cap, Jennings is still trembling in his heart!

Bogut didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Lin Yi, otherwise Lin Yi would have been calling for inside-out tactics to let the Australian aborigine know what it means to be someone outside of a person, and there is a sky outside of the sky.

What Lin Yi is most interested in about the Bucks is Larry Sanders, an American version of Wang Jingze who gave up his career for poetry and the distance.

Sanders, who is determined to pursue his dream, will ignore tens of millions of annual salary in the future, "My dream is painting and singing, not basketball!"

Sanders boldly pursued his dream.

And then... reality will tell him that by the time you hit your head and want to come back, no one cares.

Sanders has a history of drug use, and was suspended for it. After retiring, the little money will not be able to support him. Unfortunately, even if Sanders is called "Broken Throat", he won't show up.

The Knicks finally defeated the Bucks at home, but the impact of Livingston's absence was exposed in this game. The Knicks' bench lineup did not have a stable output. Lu Wei is a double-edged sword. As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, signings are imminent.

Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh has now discovered that it is actually a very good thing to be able to accept people's praise while lying down!

You know, now he is dying of a headache. At this point in time, the Knicks can't pay too much chips, which is really difficult for others!

Fortunately, Lin Yi gave Donny Walsh a name...just this name, and Donny Walsh looked at Lin Yi seriously: "Are you sure?"

"Try!" Everything, if you don't try, how can you know the result?
