Forward to the basket

Consecutive victories will allow the Rockets to jump to fifth place in the West, but this cannot change the fact that Yao Ming is injured and truce, and this time the injury is not as serious as many media broke the news before.

Stress fracture in his left foot, this season can basically be declared useless, whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, and even the possibility of participating in the Olympics, all of them have been marked with doubts when the condition is exposed.

Anyway, the team doctor of the Rockets has made it clear that if surgery is performed, the recovery time will be at least four months, and conservative treatment will probably take that long, and no one can guarantee the effect.

Even if it is surgical treatment, there are certain risks. As for the recovery period, I am afraid no one can say for sure.

As for the injury, if you fix it, you may be able to get out of bed in a week; if you don’t fix it, you will lie on your stomach.

"I can only suggest that Yao undergo surgery. At the same time, he needs enough rest time. If he wants to return to the game, it may be more reasonable for about six months or even eight months. This is an optimistic estimate."

This is the explanation given by the Rockets team doctor Clanton when asked by reporters, and this guy is not a particularly well-known expert in fractures, he can only estimate the recovery time of the little giant.

And he still faces this matter with the most optimistic attitude. Will he be able to resume the game in two or three months?

I am afraid that no one can guarantee this kind of statement. The recovery process must be long. It takes a hundred days to hurt muscles and bones. There is always a reason for the old saying, not to mention the fact that basketball is a high-intensity confrontational sport.

Now there are less than seven months before the Olympic Games in August. If surgery, recovery, etc. are all included, no one can guarantee that Yao Ming will be able to appear on the field in a good state by then.

Not to mention the status, whether he can really return to the team after injury is still unknown, after all, surgery is always risky.

Even if the national team cannot do without him, it is impossible for him to play immediately with such an injury. The long recovery process can only be seen if the old guy of God can give some miracles.

Operation?Or conservative treatment?No matter how you choose, it is estimated that the Chinese men's basketball team will have to prepare a tactic without the little giant as the core, and the old man Jonas will have to find another strong fulcrum for the national team.

But without the little giant, can the rest of the team adapt to the new tactics, or the new core?

Regarding this point, no one can give an answer, including what Jonas said in an interview with reporters.

"Yao Ming's role is irreplaceable. Apart from wishing him a successful operation, I must find more tactics for the team. The Chinese men's basketball team is a whole. I think we will have enough solutions."

You can talk freely in front of reporters, but when you return to your office, Yunus can't help frowning. I'm afraid no one wants to encounter such an accident, but it is so helpless in front of you.

"Man, I really don't know what the national team will be like without Yao Ming, and how bad it will be."

Jonas also scratches his head a bit when he discusses the future of the national team behind closed doors with his assistants.

No way, this damn injury came at an inopportune time. For the Chinese men's basketball team, achieving a breakthrough in performance in the Olympic Games at their doorstep has been something they have expected for a long time, and there is no room for loss.

Even if you don't make a breakthrough, at least you can't get lower than the eighth place. There is no hope in football. If basketball is not good now, then you can get the gold medal first. What's the use?

The big ball game is the most attention-grabbing confrontation, especially what the Chinese men's basketball team is looking forward to most is to play a little murderous in front of the home fans, at least it should go further in terms of results.

After Yunus took over the team, everything he did was basically towards this goal, but now this accident is breaking Yunus' plan and even disrupting the preparation rhythm of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Maybe the words just now can only be used to deal with those reporters. Anyone can see that the team is in great trouble now. In the past few years, the core of the team has been the little giant, and no one can replace this position.

Even if the ability is good, there will still be certain problems in terms of running in with other people, especially the Chinese men's basketball team is used to having a life with a little giant. Once he is gone, everyone will be at a loss.

This is the core influence of a leader, and it doesn't mean that it can be changed overnight. Besides, besides Da Zhi, the only good offensive players in the Chinese men's basketball team are Yi Jianlian and Chen Feng.

But Chen Feng hadn't gotten along with the team at all. Don't look at him making a big splash in the Asian Championships, but the people who cooperated with him were all members of the second national team. Never fought him.

You'd better not count on such a level of tacit understanding, even Jonas has a headache about this problem. Needless to say, Chen Feng's ability, being able to win a main position in a lineup like the Celtics has already explained everything , and the performance in the Asian Championships is enough to prove that this guy can play a role in the international arena.

Even Jonas said that if Yao Ming and Chen Feng can communicate well, then this inside line is enough for them to compete with the strong teams in Europe, both offensively and defensively.

But now Yao Ming was seriously injured in an accident, and Chen Feng seemed to be wandering outside the national team's tactical system. This made Jonas unable to stop worrying about the grand event in August. He simply couldn't afford to lose.

It’s not like coaching in Europe, no, you can do it again, or get out with the dismissal money, and take charge of the Chinese men’s basketball team. In addition to applause, Jonas feels heavy pressure.

Bearing the expectations of more than one billion people, if you don't have a good ability to bear it, you will definitely not be able to bear it.

The most important thing is that in the eyes of Chinese people, the nba is a bit far away after all. The Olympic Games held on their own territory is the only gorgeous stage where they can see their own players and masters compete with their own eyes.

The pressure of winning at home may keep Jonas awake all the time. Now that the little giant is injured like this, it is no wonder that the old man has so many troubles, and he is almost frowning.

Yao Ming's humility and low profile may be the most reassuring thing about him as the core of the national team. He is not a prickly boss. Even if he is less domineering, Jonas is willing to use Yao Ming.

But now this absolute core is likely to be absent or face the trouble of taking too long to recover. If he wants to find an alternative core, maybe that kid Chen Feng is a good choice, but he is just too cruel.

Chen Feng specified that he was a very worry-free guy. Regarding this point, regardless of whether it was Jonas or Rivers, I am afraid they would all be deeply touched. The main reason is that the boy's personality is indeed a bit too aggressive.

On the court, there is definitely no choice. Even an old guy like Auerbach has said that Chen Feng is no longer a jade in the rough. He can shine brightly with a little polishing, and it is true.

But Chen Feng was too vigorous on the field, it was always a troublesome thing, Chen Feng's personality was too strong.

Perhaps it is because of this kind of character that he was able to survive alone in a foreign country. Can you imagine what it would be like for a teenager to drive a long-distance truck in the Great West of the United States?In addition to supporting himself, he can always stick to his somewhat unattainable dream.

Therefore, this kind of ferocity from life and tempering is a kind of imprint engraved in Chen Feng's bones.

But if it is placed in the national team where stability prevails, it cannot be said that it is really a time bomb. The little giant has always been a very humble core leader, and he rarely conflicts with others.

Even if he is questioned in the NBA, he is more used to speaking with his results instead of standing up and saying something himself.

But if Chen Feng was questioned by Barkley at the beginning, his first choice would be to throw the basketball in that fat man's face, and say, come on, let's fight me one-on-one, I think you still talk so much nonsense!

Don't forget, when we met for the first time during the training in Las Vegas, he almost clashed with Barkley. You can ignore him, but don't talk too much to guys like Chen Feng. use words.

Otherwise, he will slap you in the face without any scruples, and he will do whatever it takes to embarrass you the most.

If the core of the Chinese men's basketball team is to be replaced by such a guy, even Jonas himself does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Of course, as a coach, he has never doubted Chen Feng's ability.

But if Chen Feng really needs to stand up and become a strong attacking point inside, then Yunus is really a little uncertain how hard this kid will fight. God, he is a guy who can compete with the real O'Neill!

If he brings this anger to the national team, who knows if he will go crazy in the Olympics!

If that's the case, Yunus would rather have less of an offensive core and more peace of mind. A disturbance on such an occasion would definitely make people overwhelmed, and Chen Feng probably wouldn't care so much.

Moreover, when that kid was facing the reporters, Chen Feng always seemed very tough, and he would fight back against anyone who provoked him. This kind of incomparably sturdy character was really a headache.

The one who can talk to him on an equal footing is probably only a full-time reporter like Xie Miaomiao. Even an old acquaintance like Murphy is often ignored by Chen Feng and replaced by someone else?It's no wonder he can beat you!

Let him accept the interview quietly. Forget it, this difficult subject is not as simple as letting human beings surpass the speed of light. Yunas also didn't want Chen Feng to be the media spokesperson of the team.

But now that the little giant is injured, the only insider that Jonas's men can handle, except for Dazhi who is over thirty years old, is Yi Jianlian, and that guy is pretty good at playing in Asia.

If he were to be thrown into the NBA, the gap would be immediately apparent, otherwise he wouldn't have been drafted sixth in the draft and would not even be able to play the main position in a bad team like Milwaukee.

Although he is very famous in China, but his physical fitness is thrown into the crowd of black Americans, at most he can play outside. If you really want to fight inside, you have to be like Chen Feng, with a sturdy body.

And you have to have a ruthless mentality. If it's really elbow to elbow, you have to get your opponent down first, otherwise, it's best not to expect those big black guys to give you a chance to grab a rebound.

The inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team, known as the Great Wall of Mobile in the past, is now facing an era of lack of succession. If the little giant and the big Zhi both retire, Chen Feng may be the only one who can take over.

As for that kid's ability, there is definitely nothing to say. Yunas's headache now is Chen Feng's unscrupulous character.

After all, this is playing the Olympics on his own territory. If that boy Chen Feng behaves wildly on the field for a while, it is estimated that the heads and brains above will collapse.

Even a foreign monk like Yunus has to be wary of this possibility, not to mention that the time left for him is getting less and less, and running-in is definitely a big problem.

Yao Ming's characteristic is the singles after being positioned. Not only can he use the interior as a high point to support the running positions of his teammates on the outside, but he can also score with his stable shooting ability.

In the past one or two years of international competitions, the Chinese men's basketball team has almost always used this offensive mode, leaving one or two pure shooters on the outside, and then letting the main point guards distribute the ball to the little giants. This style of play is very stable. , but the breakthrough of the national team is indeed pitiful.

But with the absolute height of the little giant as a pillar in the interior, it is basically instant kill when encountering Asian opponents, and it will be troublesome when encountering European teams, but ordinary opponents can almost win.

It's just that when they hit strong teams like Lithuania and Spain, they always play passively.

But now if the little giant can't return to the team in time, then Jonas knows very well that he has to change his current style of play to adapt to Chen Feng or others.

Of course, the most important thing is to adapt to Chen Feng. After the little giant is gone, you will always have to find a strong attack point inside. That bald wild boy is really the best candidate.

However, whether Chen Feng was playing in the Celtics or in the Asian Championships, he was not a standard center forward. He was more used to holding the ball in his hand, and then using his strong body to open the way.

The offensive range is large enough, and the movement speed is faster. Such a new type of power forward will definitely not stick to the simple confrontation at the basket. Chen Feng is more like a heavy tank with extremely mobility.

Maybe his height doesn't have much of an advantage, but in the big league of the nba, not many people dare to say that they can securely support this wild boy. You must not ignore this kind of ability.

But now whether the national team can match Chen Feng with such a framework, even Jonas himself is not sure, after all, he has not tried such a style of play in the past two years.

"Hey, maybe I should watch more videotapes of the Asian Championships. I hope I can find some insights from it. That kid... is really a troublesome little guy."

As for how to adjust the tactics of the men's basketball team, Jonas does not have a specific idea now.

But when talking about this with his assistant, he can only look helpless. After all, he has become a habit of coaching the little giant. It is really difficult to change to a wild boy suddenly.

However, what Jonas is now melancholy about is the tactical adjustment at the team level, while some people have to think about how to get Chen Feng to return to the team earlier to participate in those warm-up matches.

After all, you have to adjust and integrate into a team. Chen Feng hasn't trained with his teammates before, how could there be a tacit understanding, and the warm-up match is probably the last chance for them to adjust.

But according to the current impressive results of the Celtics, if the season is over, God knows how much time is left for the Chinese men's basketball team, one month?two months?

God, what can I do with such a little time?running in?It is estimated that at most these guys can recognize each other, as for those tactical exercises?It's best to forget it, it's all a dream!

Tactics don't have much time to practice, and whether Nash can integrate into the team smoothly is also a big question.

Use discipline to tie up that kid?Uh, not to mention Yonas, even Rivers may not be able to do this. It's not that Nash is naturally disobedient, but you must have the ability to hold him.

Rivers sometimes makes adjustments according to the situation on the field when making tactical arrangements, but Nash's keen sense developed on the street may really be that you didn't give an order, and he has already moved.

I don't know how many times this kind of move has been made, but Rivers also has to say in private that the kid chooses the timing of the attack, and the pinch is indeed accurate enough, and he can often pinch the opponent's life tightly .

But his personality of acting without authorization is really enough to give Rivers a headache. Now, this question is also placed in front of Jonas. How can he suppress Nash? It seems that for him, there is a high priority difficulty.

Jonas is not the old fox like Tarkanian, nor is he a world-famous old guy like Auerbach, so don't expect to use majesty to deal with that unscrupulous guy.

What's more, can you really handle Nash with a discipline method like suppression?At least Jonas himself doesn't believe in this kind of thing, if you discuss it, there might be some drama.

Just like in the Asian Championships, don't force him to do anything, let him play, maybe this kind of inaction can often get very good results.

However, this may be a big challenge for Jonas's coaching style. He is more used to using the team as a whole, and then fighting the opponent to the end.

Instead of relying on the individual performance of the players to decide what, the shadow of traditional European basketball coaches still has a deep imprint on him.

Maybe, uh, probably, uh, Jonas now clearly feels that coaching that kid may be the biggest challenge he has faced since the beginning of his career.

However, compared with him, it is probably the senior leaders who are more worried about the future of the team at this moment.

Jonas didn't expect Nash to be an obedient and obedient baby. Similarly, those who understand this truth are those leaders of the General Administration who are superior when nothing happens.

If this matter were placed on the usual domestic players, it would not be a problem for a long time, what?Do you dare to prick in front of the leader?I'll go, then you don't plan to hang out in China! ?

It's not like Dazhi, who has been banned for several years, has appeared, but there is no hope of using these methods to clean up Nash.

Who told that kid to come back in the first place, and now you want to kick him out?Please, don't you see that the Dream Team is still staring at that kid?

Do you want old K to extend an olive branch to Nash again?Don't think that old guy has no such plans now!

Not only did he invite him back, nor did he count on him in this Olympic Games, but in the next few years, he may be used as a signboard.

The little giant's injury wasn't accidental. The growth of age, the increase in confrontation with strong teams, including physical defects, were all ambush bombs that might explode at any time.

The serious injury this time is a hidden worry. Do you dare to say that such a situation will not happen again in the future?What's more, how long can the little giant's competitive golden period last?How long can you continue to overdraw?

If one day the little giant retires, who will be your next team leader?All these issues need to be considered by some heads.

Therefore, no one is willing to provoke Nash at this time. If it really makes him unhappy, then the last unlucky person must not be that kid. The role of the little emperor has already fallen, so there is no need to say anything else?

The nba has long been circulating a saying, that is, don't provoke Nash if you have nothing to do, because you may not be able to provoke him!Now Yunus and those leaders are also facing such a problem.

In fact, even if Nash's own tough character is put aside, the shrewd old man Falke alone is difficult enough to deal with. Those leading comrades must have never seen such a cunning and unusual old guy.

Not only is negotiating a good hand, but also make some rules and regulations, and put Nash's rights and interests on the table for you to explain clearly. I guess no one has seen such a thing!

Your sister, serve the country!This is not business!But Falk turned this matter into a business, and he talked very vigorously. In the end, after the final calculation, he really didn't do any loss-making business.

Not only did it bind Nash to this emerging market, but he also used this power of star chasing to raise Nash's popularity in the NBA to a new level. Even Stein did not dare to underestimate him.

Falk, the agent, is really good at getting the best benefits for the employer. Does anyone still doubt that this old guy is the number one agent in the NBA?

Put all the conflicts of interest on the table and negotiate with the national team. This is a rare deal even in the dream team, but Falk has done it, and you can't accept it!

At least this kind of situation has never happened to the players of the national team. Even the absolute core of the little giant is usually silent, and obeys the arrangement as much as possible if there is any request.

But now you have to rely on such a guy, it is estimated that no matter who you change to, it will be a bit of a headache.

No one thought about that behind the little giant's serious injury, there were so many troublesome things to worry about.

Moreover, an old guy with a keen sense of smell like Falk understands the meaning better, "Do I need to find a successor now? Hey, it seems that I don't need to plan any more."

Perhaps no one thought that the transition to the core position in the future would come so quickly, and many people were not even ready for it, but what should come, will come anyway.

However, it is still unknown whether that bald-headed wild boy can carry the national team...
