Chapter 882
Medved wanted to stand up, unfortunately, he couldn't stand up at all.

The game was interrupted, and the referee walked towards Medved, "Are you okay?"

not good!not good at all!Medved doesn't know what else to use to describe his current situation.

Bai Jidong patted Medved's shoulder lightly, "Don't think too much, you will be fine."

So does Medved, who has never faced an injury like this.

Medved's injury and retirement disrupted the deployment of the Timberwolves, and the game has since fallen into the control of the Celtics.

The entire Timberwolves team was restless. After the game, only Rambis stayed for a press conference, and the others went to the hospital to visit Medved.

The results of the MRI showed that Medved had a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

This injury is now known as an ACL tear.

To be honest, this part is really not very eye-catching.

Very short - only an inch (2.5 cm) long; still stubby, about half an inch thick.

It was white and smooth, like a bunch of asparagus.

It doesn't have much elasticity.In fact, as long as it doesn't suffer a devastating injury, you don't even think about it.

However, injuries always come unexpectedly, and always at the most inopportune times.It's the only thing you can think about at this point, because it's so important, even the heart of competitive play.

The injury has become so prevalent that one could argue that ACL has even replaced NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL as the most important three-letter acronym because of that dreaded cruciate ligament, that bundle of collagen Right there, right in the middle of your knees.If he strikes, the rest of the athlete is crying and suffering.

ACL injuries are no ordinary injuries.They are super monsters in injuries.

The pain it causes is unbearable, the recovery period is extremely long, and the athlete can't help but wonder if he will ever be able to return to his previous state.

It tests your heart, goes deep into your heart, and questions how strong your will and spiritual power are.It measures your determination.It is a limit test in an absolute sense.

Medved was devastated when he heard it would take a year to recover.

His teammates were by his side, and he couldn't bear to see this genius who was shot down into the mortal world before he could fully spread his wings.

"Son of the long deer, if you fall down like this, it can only show that you are only at this level." Vashabek said. "This is Saora's test, it seems that you are not going to accept it."

"Who said I wouldn't accept it? I'm just... I'm just not reconciled!"

Medved gritted his teeth and said.

Who would be willing?He had just signed a big contract, tried to lead the team, and was playing better and better when the injury suddenly came.

The next day, the Timberwolves announced that Medved was reimbursed for the season.

The alliance was in an uproar.

That's it, Medved's performance this season has been phenomenal.

Played 80 games, averaging 24 points, 14 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.

If he can maintain this performance and continue to play, he can definitely be selected for the best team.

Even with his current attendance, no one will say anything about being selected to the second team.

If a genius like Medved, who has made rapid progress in a short period of time, lies in a hospital bed for a year, how long will it take to recover?

It's a pity that he was in a period of rapid rise, but he encountered this kind of thing.

Bai Jidong walked out of the room, looked up at the starry sky, the road ahead was long and there was no end in sight.

Medved's injury and retirement are an earthquake for the Timberwolves, and Bai Jidong will have to shoulder the burden of the whole team again.

He really wants to delegate power, but apart from Medved, no one in the team can shoulder this responsibility.

Due to Medved's withdrawal due to injury, Bai Jidong was still the only seedling of the Timberwolves during the All-Star Weekend.

Kobe Bryant shined in the All-Star Game, leading the Western All-Stars to defeat the Eastern All-Stars and was elected All-Star MVP.

Since then, the season has continued, and the Timberwolves have undergone changes visible to the naked eye.

Medved retired from injury, Bai Weidong returned to the core position, but did not use the previous style of play, but continued to use the previous game style, Zhao Li was the ball handler, and Bai Weidong was the support point, transition point and finisher point.

"White Wolf is now like MJ in the 96-98 season. He doesn't control the ball very much, but he can be seen everywhere in the game. When it comes to the decisive victory, his offensive ability is also deeply trusted by his teammates."

一个有趣的数据:全明星之前，白已冬场均23分6篮板6助攻；全明星之后，坐火箭一样提升到33分7篮板7助攻。

Bai Jidong led the Timberwolves to continue to play Kaige, and they met the Cavaliers in the final battle of the season.

This is the battle for the top spot, and the winner will become the regular season champion and get home court advantage in the playoffs.

James presented an MVP-level performance this season, averaging 29 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game, leading the Cavaliers to 60 wins and locking in the top two in the league.

Bai Jidong is the last striker, not as good as James in terms of statistics, but his stamina is fierce.

The two competed, and a fierce spark burst out.

This is Bai Jidong's best regular season game of the season. Against the Cavaliers, he scored a season-high 56 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, overwhelming James' 30+ triple-double, leading the team to win and securing the first place in the league.

In the Wild West, the Timberwolves are the only team with 60 wins.

Why do you say wild?Because the second Lakers in the West "only" have 57 wins, the third Mavericks in the West have 55 wins, the fourth Nuggets, the fifth Jazz, the sixth Spurs, the seventh Trail Blazers, the eighth Thunder, all Reaching 50 wins, the Thunder ranked No.8 due to the win, and played against the Timberwolves in the first round.

The leader of the Thunder, Kevin Durant, averaged 30.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

The data of 30+7+2 cannot be selected for a team?It seems unbelievable, but just look at his competition.

James has basically secured a seat, while Durant has to compete for another seat with Bai Jidong, who averaged 27+7+7 per game and led the team to the league's first record.

The direct dialogue between the two competitors in the playoffs is bound to influence the final result.

Bai Jidong no longer needed this kind of honor to decorate himself. For a while, it was more recognition for him, which showed that he was still among the top.

From the very beginning of the series, the battle between Bai Jidong and Durant was in full swing.

However, Bai Jidong has never regarded Durant as an opponent, even if he played such an outstanding season.

Durant's obvious advantage is his height and shooting.

Under this height and projection, there is a rare coordination of the same height, and the combination of the three has just made such a monster.

Durant showed his potential, while Bai Jidong told him with a real overwhelming advantage that it is not his world yet.

Bai Jidong suppressed Durant to 28 points, and his shooting percentage fell below 40%. He scored a 40+ triple-double lightly and led the team to sweep the Thunder.

The Thunder couldn't see any hope. From the beginning of the game, their biggest rely was suppressed.

Bai Jidong averaged 41 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in four games in the first round. It can be said that he played an epic series and completely overwhelmed Durant.

In the semifinals, the Timberwolves' opponent was the Nuggets led by Anthony.

The golden double-gun era composed of Anthony and Iverson ended within a few years. The Nuggets management traded Iverson to the Pistons at the beginning of the season, in exchange for grassroots FMVP Chauncey Billups, and rebuilt a system.

In this age of strikers, what Bai Jidong lacks most is an opponent. After knocking down Durant, another Anthony pops up in the blink of an eye.

The Nuggets are not like the Thunder's Young Guards. They are talented and experienced, and there are many killers at critical moments, which are difficult to deal with.

In the first game, Bai Jidong restrained himself. Anthony is not a strong competitor like Durant, so he just needs to suppress his performance.

Zhao Li and Spanoulis took turns attacking the Nuggets' perimeter. Although Billups had strong experience, he couldn't keep up with the defensive pace, and the formation was completely disrupted.

The Nuggets collapsed and lost the first game.

In Game 2, the two teams were at a stalemate. Spanoulis' outburst changed the situation of the game and helped the Timberwolves seal the victory.

Game3, back to the home court, sitting on the plateau, the Nuggets counterattacked vigorously.

Billups blasted Zhao Li, Anthony and Bai Jidong also formed a confrontation, the Timberwolves were out of fire and lost by 1 point.

Game4, this is a game with a story.

Before the game, Rambis said to the White Wolf: "We lack offensive firepower. If you can't score 50 points, we can't win."

"OK, then I will get 50 points." Bai Jidong said.

Later, Rambis recalled Bai Jidong's tone and demeanor when he said this, "It's as easy as he promised to change the child's diaper."

That night, Bai Jidong showed his strength on the offensive end, and Zhao Li continued to break through and create shooting opportunities.

Bai Jidong didn't do anything, he just stood in the right position, caught and shot the ball, huh.

Bai Jidong scored a game-high 50 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, while Zhao Li scored 11 points and 20 assists, of which more than half of the assists went to Bai Jidong.

After this battle, the Nuggets lost confidence, which directly led to the defeat of Game5.

Before the start of the conference finals, the league announced the best team of the season.

Wade, Kobe, Howard, James, and Bai Jidong were selected for the first team of the best team.

At the same time, Bai Jidong was selected to the first team of the best defensive team.

This is the sixth consecutive year that Bai Jidong has been selected for the double first team at the same time.

Then came the divisional finals, the last big show before the finals.

White Wolf vs Black Mamba.

This is an enduring topic. From 1997 until now, it has always been the talk of fans after dinner.

Now, the two meet again and start a fight for tickets to the finals.
