Halliburton s Achilles tendon ruptured in the finals. Can he still reproduce magic after he returns?

Halliburton's injury in this year's NBA Finals was the most uncomfortable time I have been watching basketball games. When he fell to the ground and continued to suffer and express his grief and anger, I believe that the fans next to the TV and the audience were also extremely sad at that moment.

Even his opponent Alexander went to comfort him immediately, touching Halliburton's head to express his comfort. At the end of the game, Alexander also went to the Pacers' locker room to greet him and expressed his friendly attitude.

Died before he succeeded, and the hero was filled with tears.

For athletes, the most painful thing is that injuries make them unable to play, and that kind of regret will make them feel unwilling.

Since last year, the chances of NBA stars being seriously injured are getting higher and higher. In this season's playoffs, three No. 0 left the arena due to Achilles tendon problems. First Lillard, then Tatum, and then Halliburton fell down.

The reason for this phenomenon is largely related to the competition, style and the referee's dictation standards.

Fans who often watch NBA can feel that the intensity of the game is much greater than in the 1980s and 1990s. The players' figure, strength and speed are faster than before, and the distance and running back and forth are also much more frequent than before.

After advocating the "quick whirlwind" style, each team began to play small balls, and the pace and rounds were frequently accelerated. The league's encouragement for offense also made the athletes' bodies more tired.

Originally, the positional battles were much, and the pace was slow in 24 seconds. The pace would not be so fast, and the probability of a player being seriously injured would not be too high;

But if the rhythm speeds up, the physical fatigue gradually accumulates, it is very likely that the injury will worsen. Moreover, athletes often have minor injuries but never get off the line of the fire. They will insist on fighting with some minor injuries and will never give up.

Halliburton's injury this time is largely because he had already strained his calf and could not play ball, but he still insisted on playing for the championship and never gave up. He also received painkiller injections.

This kind of persistence is "non-human" in itself. It will take the initiative to participate in the competition on the premise of losing one's own body and achieve its contribution. It is good to win, but the risk of falling also increases. A little devastating injury will come.

More and more athletes can no longer hold on in this confrontation, and the league has also experienced a wave of injuries.

If this continues, NBA games will become less and less beautiful, and the ratings will drop a lot. All the stars in the family are injured, and there are a bunch of role players left. Can the viewing performance be improved?

definitely not.

Pacers, Celtics and Bucks will basically announce their withdrawal from the championship series next season. They will recover from their injuries for 8-10 months, and they will have to find the game state after returning from injury, and they will have to find their way back to the game, and it will take a year to fully recover.

However, compared with Tatum and Lillard, Halliburton's Achilles tendon rupture is not incapable of recovery for him. His style of play is more suitable for recovery after injury.

He is not a pure scoring player. He tends to pass, organize and have three-pointers on the outside. He will have fewer physical confrontation flaws in his playing style. He will not do these styles of dunking in the sky and earth, which can slow down his injury.

Fight more floor flow and passes, and the impact of Achilles tendon rupture can be reduced.

Maybe the state is not as explosive as it is now, but if you can have 70% or 80% of the strength, it will be enough. With the combination of Turner and others, the Pacers still have hope to compete for the championship in the next few years.

really doesn't work, it can still be a bad one for a year. As long as Halliburton is not here next season and the team's performance is really bad, then give up for a year and choose a rookie who is ready to fight at that time, and you can fight again the year after that. In terms of

trading, the Pacers can also improve according to the weak links of the current lineup and strengthen the depth of the forward line, so that the team will no longer be far away from winning the championship.

Siakam, Turner and Halliburton's trident combination, they can still create miracles in the next few years.

I believe Harry's magic will reappear.
