Chapter 426 Yunus's Problem
Continuous victories can make the Rockets jump to the fifth place in the west, but this can't change the fact that YAO is injured and truce, and this injury is not as serious as many media reports before.
The stress fracture of the left foot can basically be declared scrapped this season. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, or even the possibility of participating in the Olympic Games, all of which were questioned while the condition was exposed.
Anyway, the team doctor of the Rockets has made it clear that if the operation is carried out, the recovery time will be at least four months, and the conservative treatment will take about such a long time, and no one can guarantee the effect.
Even if it is surgical treatment, there are certain risks. As for the recovery period, I'm afraid no one can be sure.
The injury is done. Maybe you can get out of bed in a week. If you don't do it well, just lie down.
"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 state, it may be more reasonable for about six months or even eight months. This is an optimistic estimate."
This is the explanation given by Rockets doctor Cranton 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 is still the most optimistic about facing this matter. Can he resume the game in two or three months?
I'm afraid no one can guarantee this statement. The recovery process must be long, hurting the muscles and bones for a hundred days. As the old saying goes, there is always a reason for its existence. What's more, basketball is a high-intensity confrontational sport.
Now it is less than seven months before the Olympic Games in August. If surgery and recovery are included, no one can guarantee that YAO will appear on the field in a good condition at that time.
Not to mention the state, it is unknown whether it can really recover from the injury. After all, surgery is always risky.
Even if the national team can't leave him at all, it is impossible for him to play immediately with such an injury. The long recovery process can only be seen whether the old man God can give a miracle.
Surgical surgery? Or conservative treatment? No matter how you choose, it is estimated that the Chinese men's basketball team will prepare a tactic without a small giant as the core, and the old man Jonas will have to find a 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?
No one can give an answer to this, including what Jonas said in an interview with reporters.
"YAO's role is irreplaceable. In addition to wishing him a successful operation, I must also 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 in front of reporters, but when he returned to his office, Jonas couldn'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 it will be like and how bad it will be without the national team of YAOming."
When Jonas closed the door to talk about the future of the national team with his assistants, he also scratched his head.
I can't help it. This damn injury is really not the right time. For the Chinese men's basketball team, the breakthrough in the Olympic Games at home is something they have been looking forward to for a long time.
Even if there is no breakthrough, at least you can't get a lower ranking than the eighth place. There is no hope in football. If basketball is not strong now, then you can win the first place in the gold medal. What's the use?
The big ball game is the most eye-catching confrontation, especially what the Chinese men's basketball team is most looking forward to play a little murderous in front of the home fans, at least in terms of the results.
After Jonas took over the team, everything he did was basically moving forward with this goal, but now this accident is breaking Jonas' plan and even disrupting the preparation rhythm of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Maybe what you said 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 it is capable, there will be certain problems in running in with others, especially the Chinese men's basketball team is used to the days of having a little giant. Once there is no him, everyone will be at a loss.
This is the core influence of the leader, which does not mean that it can be changed overnight. Moreover, now, in addition to Daqi, the Chinese men's basketball team can be the best inside offensive player, the only YI Jianlian and Chen Feng.
But Chen Feng has never run into contact with the team at all. Although he beats in the Asian Championships, those who cooperate with him are the first-voteers of the second national team. Those first-team candidates have not played with him in a single game.
You'd better not count on such a tacit understanding. Even Jonas has a headache about this problem. Needless to say, Chen Feng's ability to win a main position in a lineup like the Celtics has explained everything, and his performance in the Asian Championships is enough to prove that this guy can play a role in the international arena. Use.
Even Jonas said that if YAO Ming and Chen Feng can communicate well, then this insider is enough for them to wrestle with strong European teams, attack and defend.
But now YAO is seriously injured in an accident, and then Chen Feng is a little out of the tactical system of the national team, which makes Jonas unable to worry about the event in August. He can't afford to lose at all.
This is not like when coaching in Europe. It doesn't work. You can do it again, or get out with the money of dismissal and take charge of the Chinese men's basketball team. In addition to applause, Jonas feels heavy pressure.
With the expectations of more than one billion people, if you don't have a good ability to bear it, you can't stand it.
The most important thing is that in the eyes of the Chinese people, the NBA is a little far away after all. The Olympic Games held on their own territory is the only gorgeous stage where they can see their players and masters.
The pressure to win at home may keep Jonas awake all the time. Now the little giant is so injured. No wonder the old man has so many troubles that he is almost frowning.
YAO Ming's modesty and low-keyness may be the most reassuring point for him as the core of the national team. He is not a thorny boss. Even if he is a little less domineering, Jonas is also willing to use YAO Ming.
But now this absolute core is likely to be absent or face the trouble of recovering for too long. If he wants to find an alternative core, maybe Chen Feng is a good choice, but it's just too cruel.
Chen Feng is designated as a very worry-free guy. For this point, whether it's Jonas or Rivers, I'm afraid they are deeply touched. The main reason is that the boy's personality is indeed a little too fierce.
There must be no choice on the court. Even old guys like Auerbach have said that Chen Feng is no longer a jade. With a little polishing, he can shine a dazzling light, and the truth is true.
But Chen Feng is too fierce on the court. It's always a troublesome thing. Chen Feng's personality is too strong.
Maybe it is because of this personality that he can survive alone in a foreign country. Can you imagine what it is like for a teenager to travel in the Great West of the United States in a long-distance truck? In addition to supporting himself, he can always stick to his distant dream.
Therefore, this kind of fierceness from living in grinding is a mark engraved in Chen Feng's bones.
But if it is placed in the place where the stability of the national team is overwhelming, it can't 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 talking with grades than standing up and saying things by himself.
But if Chen Feng was questioned by Barkley at the beginning, his first choice was to throw the basketball on the fat man's face and say, come on, one-on-one with me. I think you still have so much nonsense!
Don't forget that when he met for the first time during the special training in Las Vegas, he almost clashed with Barkley. You can ignore him, but don't say too many useless words to guys like Chen Feng.
Otherwise, he will slap you in the face without scruples, and how can you 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 this is a blessing or a curse. Of course, as a coach, he has never doubted Chen Feng's ability.
But if you really need Chen Feng to stand up and become a strong attack point in the inside line, then Jonas is really not sure how fierce this boy will fight. God, that's a guy who can PK with O'Neill!
If he brings this anger to the national team, who knows if he will lose his temper in the Olympic Games!
If that's the case, Yunas would rather have less offensive core and more peace. If he makes a scene on that occasion, it will definitely make people unable to walk, and Chen Feng, I don't think he will care so much.
And when that boy is facing reporters, Chen Feng always seems to be tough. If there is a provocative person, he will fight back. This kind of tough character is really a headache.
It is estimated that Xie Miaomiao is a full-time reporter who can talk to him on an equal footing. Even an old acquaintance like Murphy is often thrown aside by Chen Feng to ignore others? It's strange that he can bird you!
Let him be interviewed quietly. Forget it. This difficult topic is not as simple as letting human beings surpass the speed of light. Yunus did not want Chen Feng to be the media spokesman of the team.
But now the little giant is injured, and the inside line that Yunus's men can handle, except for Daqi, who is already over 30 years old, there is only one like YI Jianlian, and that guy is not bad to play in Asia.
If he really throws it into the NBA, he will immediately see the gap, otherwise he will not be able to play the main position in such a bad team as Milwaukee with the sixth place in the draft.
Although he is very popular in China, his physical quality is thrown into the pile of black Americans. At most, he can play an outside line. If you really want to fight inside, you must have a strong tendon like Chen Feng.
And you have to have a fierce spirit. If it's really elbow to elbow, you have to lay down your opponent first. Otherwise, it's better not to expect those big blacks to give you a chance to grab the rebound.
The inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team, which used to be known as the Mobile Great Wall, is now facing an era of failure. If the little giant and Daji are retired, it may be Chen Feng who can take over.
As for that boy's ability, there must be nothing to say. Jonas has a headache now, that is, Chen Feng has no scruples about his personality.
Anyway, this is also playing the Olympic Games on his own territory. If Chen Feng is wild on the court, it is estimated that the heads and brains will collapse.
Even Jonas, a foreign monk, has to guard against this possibility. What's more, there is less and less time left for him now. The running-in is definitely a big problem.
YAO is characterized by singles after falling. It can not only serve as a high point on the inside line to respond to the running position of peripheral teammates, but also can score with a stable shooting ability.
In the past year or two of international competitions, the Chinese men's basketball team has almost always followed this offensive mode, leaving one or two pure pitchers on the periphery, and then letting the main point guard hand over the ball to the little giant to distribute. This kind of play is very stable, but the breakthroughs of the national team are indeed pitifully rare.
But there is a little giant's absolute height as a pillar in the inside line. When you meet an Asian opponent, it is basically a second kill. When you meet a European team, it will be very troublesome, but the average opponent can almost win.
It's just that when you hit a strong team like Lithuania and Spain, you will always play very passively.
But now if the Little Giants can't return to the team in time, then Jonas knows very well that he must change his current playing style to adapt to Chen Feng or others.
Of course, the most important thing is to adapt to Chen Feng. After the little giant, you always have to find a strong attack point in the inside line. That bald boy is really the best choice.
But Chen Feng is not the standard center play whether in the Celtics or the Asian Championships. He is more suitable for holding the ball in his hand and then using his strong body to open the way.
The attack range is large enough and the movement speed is faster. Such a new type of power forward will certainly not stick to the simple confrontation under the basket. Chen Feng is more like a highly mobile heavy tank.
Maybe his height does not have any advantage, but in the NBA, not many people dare to say that they can eat this wild boy. You must not ignore this ability.
But even Jonas himself doesn't know whether the national team can match such a framework for Chen Feng. After all, he has not tried such a way in the past two years.
"Alas, maybe I should watch more videos of the Asian Championships. I hope I can find some tips from there. That boy... What a troublesome little guy."
How to adjust the tactics of the men's basketball team? Now Jonas doesn't have a specific idea.
But when talking about these things with his assistant, he can only look helpless. After all, he is used to coaching the little giant. It's really difficult to change to a wild boy.
However, what Jonas is now melancholy about is the tactical adjustment at the level of the team, and what some people have to consider is how to make Chen Feng return to the team early to participate in those warm-up games.
After all, you have to run in and integrate into a team. Chen Feng has not trained with his teammates. How can there be a tacit understanding, and the warm-up match is likely to be their last chance to run in.
But according to the Celtics' tough results, if we wait for the end of the whole season, God knows how much time is left for the Chinese men's basketball team, a month? Two months?
God, what is enough to do with that much time? Running-in? I guess it can make these guys familiar with each other at most. As for those tactical drills? It's better to forget it. It's all a dream!
There is not much time to practice tactics, and it is also a big question whether Chen Feng's integration into the team is smooth.
Use discipline to tie up that boy? Er, not to mention Jonas, even Rivers may not be able to do this. It's not that Chen Feng is born disoed, but that you must have the ability to hold him.
Rivers sometimes makes adjustments at any time according to the situation on the court during the tactical arrangement, but Chen Feng's keen feeling on the street may be that he has already moved without an order.
I don't know how many times he has done this, but Rivers also has to say in private that the boy chooses the time point of attack and is really accurate enough to pinch his opponent's fate.
But his unauthorized personality is really a headache for Rivers. Now, this problem is also in front of Jonas. How can he suppress Chen Feng? It seems to be very difficult for him.
Unas is not the old fox of Takania, nor is he a famous old man like Auerbach, so don't expect to deal with that stingy guy with majesty.
What's more, can you really deal with Chen Feng's guy by suppressing such a method of discipline? At least Jonas himself doesn't believe in this kind of thing. If you discuss it, there may still be a chance.
Just like in the Asian Championships, don't force him to do anything and let him play. Maybe this kind of incompetence can often get a good effect.
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 with his opponent to the end.
Instead of relying on the player's personal performance to decide what to do, the shadow of a traditional European basketball coach still has a deep imprint on him.
Maybe, er, probably, er, Jonas now clearly feels that coaching that boy may be the biggest challenge he has faced since the beginning of his career.
However, compared with him, I'm afraid it's more senior leaders who are worried about the team's future.
Yunus didn't expect Chen Feng to be a good boy. Similarly, those who understand this truth, there are also those leaders of the General Administration who are superior when they have nothing to do.
If this matter was put on the usual domestic players, it would not be a problem for a long time. What? Do you dare to stab in front of the leader? Damn, then you don't plan to work in China!?
Just like Daqi, who has been banned for several years, it is not that it has not appeared, but there is no hope for these methods to clean up Chen Feng.
Who let that boy have been invited back? Now you want to get out of here? Please, didn't you see the Dream Team staring at the boy?
Do you want Lao K to rush to Chen Feng to extend the olive branch again? Don't think that the old guy doesn't have such a plan now!
It's not only that I invited him back, but also that I have to count on him in this Olympic Games, but I may use him as a signboard in the next few years.
The injury of the little giant is not accidental. The increase in age and the increase of the strong team, including physical defects, are all ambushed bombs. Maybe it will explode at any time.
This serious injury 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 will there be left in the golden period of the little giant's competition? How long can you continue to overdraw?
If one day the little giant retires, who will be your next team leader? These questions need to be considered by the head.
So, no one is willing to provoke Chen Feng at this time. If it really makes him unhappy, then the unlucky person in the end must not be that boy. The role of the little emperor has failed. Do you need to say anything else?
The NBA has been circulating a saying for a long time, that is, don't provoke Chen Feng if you have nothing to do, because you may not be able to provoke him! Now Jonas and those leaders are also facing such problems.
In fact, even if Chen Feng's own tough character is aside, Falk's shrewd old man alone is difficult enough to deal with. Those leading comrades must have never seen such a cunning old guy.
Not only is negotiation a good hand, but also get some rules and regulations, and put Chen Feng's rights and interests clearly marked on the table for you. I don't think anyone has seen this kind of thing!
Your sister, work for the country! This is not business! But Falk turned this matter into a business, and he talked very hard. In the end, he really didn't do anything to lose money.
Not only does it tie Chen Feng with this emerging market, but also uses the power of star chasing to raise Chen Feng's popularity in the NBA to a new level. Even Stein dares not underestimate it.
It can win the greatest benefit for employers. Falk, the agent, is really in place. Does anyone still suspect that this old guy is the first agent in the NBA?
Put all the interest entangles on the table and negotiate with the national team. This is rare in such a deal even in the Dream Team, but Falk has been done. If you don't accept it, you can't do it!
At least in this group of players of the national team, this has never happened. Even if it is the absolute core of the little giant, they are usually silent. If there are any requirements, they will try to obey the arrangement.
But now you have to rely on such a guy. I guess no matter who it is, it will be a bit of a headache.
No one has thought about it. Behind the serious injury of the little giant, there are still so many troubles to worry about.
Moreover, an old man with a keen sense of smell like Falk understands the meaning of this better. "Do you need to find a successor now? Hey, it seems that I don't have to plan more."
No one may have thought that the transition of the future core position will come so quickly that many people are not even ready, but what should come will always come.
It's just that whether that bald boy can afford this national team is still unknown...
(I replaced the characters yesterday, and it turned out that Chen Feng and Nash were reversed... Sorry, sorry, the error has been corrected!!!)
