Super Heavy Artillery

Chapter 615



Without stopping in Indiana, the thunder team returned to Oklahoma for the first time after the game. In a brief interview after the game, Donovan answered the reporters' questions about the next game against the Warriors: "now, Andrea's injury is the most important thing for us. We don't know the details yet. Maybe it's not that bad. "

"I'm sure Andre won't do anything!"

"Pray! Andre, peace

……

But the result is disappointing. Robertson's initial diagnosis was a tear of the patellar ligament in his left leg. Such injuries are not uncommon in the NBA. The most recent one is Lin Shuhao, whose recovery period is as long as 8-12 months. This also means that Robertson will enter a long recovery period after surgery. At least, this season is not going to be on the court.

In fact, we are mentally prepared. From the moment Robertson slid to the edge of the court with his hands on the floor and his expression was extremely painful, we knew that his problem could be serious. It's just that no one thought that it would be so serious that the season would be reimbursed.

Injuries have always been a part of the league and part of all professional athletes. No matter how much people fear him and hate it, no one can get rid of it. Unless, don't enter the circle of professional athletes. It can be said that every professional athlete has been fighting against injuries and injuries throughout his career. Lucky people, can overcome the injury, harvest a successful career; unfortunate people, can only dim exit.

Such things are common in NBA. There are countless favourites who fall on the injury; there are more ordinary players. Every time the league has a major injury, it will ring the alarm for all the players. In addition to surprise and emotion, we were more worried and afraid. Of course, everyone will be glad that such things did not happen to themselves. No one wants to see this happen.

After the news of Robertson's injury was announced by the thunder, the whole league prayed for him. But for thunder's coaching team and management, it's not a problem that can be solved by praying. The problem they have to face is how to make up for the defects in the team's attack and defense system after Robertson's absence.

Although Robertson's strength is far from enough to compare with the big three, but his importance to thunder is not small at all. As the defensive core of the whole thunder, thunder is completely two teams with and without him. At least, from a defensive point of view. You know, it's not so easy to start in the thunder team. What's more, Robertson doesn't shoot, free throw is general, and three points are more dependent on Meng's players. But Robertson did, and he can still get tens of millions in thunder! Rely on their own strong defense.

The data is not deceptive. When Robertson is not present, thunder loses 10.4 points per 100 rounds more than when he is present. This is enough to explain everything.

What's more, in the system of limitless defense that thunder relies on most now, Robertson plays the axial role of "where he is needed, he will appear". His presence is a huge bonus to the defense of wesbrook, ANLO and Paul George.

For Paul George, in particular, he was a top defender. But with Robertson on the court, the other side's top scorers don't need him. Robertson went back to the hardest things. Now that Robertson is injured, Paul George needs to be distracted to deal with the top outside scorer in the league.

Robertson's biggest role is still in the playoffs, or in the finals. Regular season, strong attack may be easier to change the trend of the game, we are almost in the end of the game. It's not going to be the playoffs, but watch out. So we will come up with the strongest combat effectiveness, at this time, defense in the game reflects a greater role. The saying "defense wins the championship" is reasonable in any era. It can be said that in the kind of game that tests the ability of star players, a top defender is definitely something that every team who plays with it doesn't want to encounter.

Now the thunder has lost a trump card in the playoffs and even the finals. You can imagine how they feel. However, there is no time for them to complain. For thunder, the most urgent thing is to find a replacement for Robertson. The worst part is that after missing the trading period, thunder can no longer find a replacement for Robertson through the trading market window. Of course, there are still a lot of players in the buyout market who can take the lead. But thunder is not that hard.

They spent a lot of time training grant, and finally grew up. This season, grant on the bench can contribute 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals 1.2 blocks per field, which is an indispensable part of the thunder attack and defense. Although his defensive ability is not as good as Robertson's, but also better than those who buy out the players in the market. And, on the offensive side, it's much more reliable than Robertson.

In fact, the thunder in this summer a fat contract to keep grant in the team, it is precisely the young man's potential. On the offensive side, grant is aggressive and likes to shoot under the basket. Every night, he always makes himself stand on the free throw line again and again in such a way as to contribute effectively to the team. Of course, Grant's main value lies in his defense. He can rebound, block, steal and have excellent frame protection ability. Combined with his own speed and sports ability, grant can easily be integrated into the system of thunder unlimited change defense. His physical condition, whether defensive outside players or inside players will not suffer.Therefore, the current situation for thunder, is not as bad as expected. Grant is young and doesn't have Robertson's experience, but God has given thunder some time to adapt and adjust. Now what they need to do is to make grant adapt to the starting lineup as soon as possible and find his place in the thunder three system. However, it is not a simple thing. It's easier said than done.
