Chapter 64 Achilles Tendinitis

The morning after the game against the Bulls, Newman, Robinson, and the rookies entered the arena with dark circles under their eyes that rivaled those of pandas.

Their souls were still lingering on the ecstatic night of the previous night; a group of people slid around the stadium like they had mutated, their heels never touching the ground.

"How about it? I have good taste, right?"

Newman yawned and poked Xu Feng's waist with his index finger.

"Heh, I can't appreciate your taste. If the lights weren't on, I wouldn't even be able to see that woman!"

"Hmph! Your white chick isn't much better. Besides having a better figure, being prettier, and being better in bed, what else can she compare to me!"

The two started their usual bickering again.

As the host who organized the gathering, Robinson listlessly changed his shoes.

Chris Ford saw all of this but said nothing.

Having finally made it through a month and just faced a formidable opponent, it's perfectly understandable for the players to go out and have a silver party together.

In the afternoon, the Milwaukee Bucks will play against the Boston Celtics on the road.

The game was played at the Boston Fleet Center, which later became TD Garden.

The old Garden Arena closed in 1995, and the team has been tanking ever since they moved to the new arena. The Celtics have lost the intimidating power of their home court.

A clean and efficient three-quarter game, ending with the Bucks leading 95-64 by 21 points.

During a half-court play in the second quarter, Robinson stood still, and Chris thought he was playing passive defense again, until he saw him clutching his calf with a pained expression.

Non-contact injuries are either minor or serious, and everyone present was worried for him.

"Timeout, timeout!" Chris was stunned. Robinson was one of the team's key players, and with him injured, the team's record might fluctuate again.

Robinson was forced to leave the game due to injury, and the Bucks replaced him with Newman.

The Fleet Center has been described by the media as "the most bizarre home arena in history." When a team loses, there are no shouts, no boos, no betrayals; instead, everyone stands up, applauds, cheers, and sends the winners off.

They believe that every additional loss the team suffers brings them one step closer to Duncan.

Glenn Robinson was diagnosed with a recurrence of Achilles tendonitis in his left leg after being injured in the game against the Celtics, and the team decided to rest him after discussion.

Big Dog has almost stepped on every landmine of Achilles tendonitis. Every time a heavy forward or guard lands, the Achilles tendon wears down far more than the average person. High-intensity games and training will only exacerbate the wear and tear, and staying up late and drinking alcohol will significantly reduce the Achilles tendon's ability to repair itself.

Moreover, Robinson's training used to be entirely based on his mood; he would either skip training for several days or train like crazy. His Achilles tendon couldn't withstand the sudden increase in intensity in a short period of time, making it more prone to acute inflammation.

Over the years, it was almost certain that he would develop Achilles tendonitis.

This summer, the team doctor issued a written warning to Robinson, strictly prohibiting him from playing with injuries, playing more than 38 minutes of high-intensity full-court games, and reducing jumping and dunking activities.

Robinson didn't care at all. He believed that superstars should play through injuries and that sitting on the bench was a sign of weakness and shame.

If persuasion fails, the maximum protection the team doctor can provide is ice packs, physical therapy, and painkillers.

After finishing with the Boston Celtics as a dessert, the Bucks will face the Detroit Pistons head-on.

Xu Feng will face the entire Detroit Pistons frontcourt alone.

Throughout the game, Joe Dumars closely marked Xu Feng, while Grant Hill appeared to be defending Newman, but his eyes never left Xu Feng.

Whenever Xu Feng drives into the paint, they use subtle tactics and hard elbows to block him.

It's not entirely Chris Ford's fault; under this level of intensity, if the Bucks dared to bring in their substitutes, they would collapse instantly.

Even if Xu Feng and Wen Baker were Ultraman, they would still be in trouble in the fourth quarter against the opponent's full-team defense.

The Detroit Pistons defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 80-93 on the road.

许峰出场42分钟,24中11,三分9中4,罚球8中5,得到31分11板6助2帽,再次成为悲情英雄。

After a four-day break, the team faces two back-to-back home games. Robinson is still not back, but Xu Feng and Wen Baker are firing on all cylinders.

In an effort to contain Xu Feng, the Nets specifically moved Kendall Gill over to guard him one-on-one, but it was to no avail. Xu Feng hit four three-pointers in the first quarter, turning him into a sieve.

In the second quarter, Gil, realizing what was happening, stepped up to guard Xu Feng closely. Coach John Calipari then had shooting guards Kyrie Kittles and Robert Parker double-team Xu Feng.

But Xu Feng was playing like a madman. Even when triple-teamed, he could still put the ball in the basket before falling down, and even force them to commit fouls.

Inside, after Xu Feng created space, Vin Baker became much more relaxed, easily outmaneuvering the Nets' cumbersome power forward and center.

全场结束,许峰狂砍37分11篮板6助攻的两双,文·贝克得到29分15篮板8助攻。

82-94, the Bucks' duo crushed the New Jersey Nets.

This makes him the second rookie to score 35 points or more in a single game, following Allen Iverson's 35-point performance against the New York Knicks on November 12.

After defeating the Nets, they will immediately host the Seattle SuperSonics, the runner-up team that lost 2-4 to the Chicago Bulls in the 1996 NBA Finals.

Surprisingly, with Big Dog out, the Bucks and SuperSonics were evenly matched in the first two quarters.

Vin Baker dominated Shawn Kemp from the start, scoring repeatedly on one-on-one plays and boxing out Kemp for offensive rebounds.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks led by four points, 23-27.

Starting in the second quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics regained their rhythm. They tightened their defense, forcing Newman and Sherman into frequent turnovers, and capitalized on these opportunities to launch fast breaks and counterattacks.

At halftime, the Bucks trailed by five points, 51-44.

In the third quarter, Sherman suddenly exploded onto the scene, shutting down Gary Payton on the perimeter, not only stealing the ball from him but also disrupting Payton's offensive rhythm.

Xu Feng used his physical advantages to relentlessly attack Hawkins one-on-one, and also took three-point shots through off-ball movement.

The Bucks regained a 4-point lead.

In the final quarter, the SuperSonics showed the resilience of a runner-up team, withstanding the pressure and scoring points one after another. Just when everyone thought the Bucks would collapse in the final quarter as before, Xu Feng made two consecutive pull-up jumpers to stabilize the situation.

The difference remains at 4 points.

According to the so-called law of defense on the field, as long as one side stabilizes, the other side is likely to make a mistake.

The SuperSonics couldn't escape the power of the law. When the crucial moment arrived, Payton and Kemp each hit a mid-range shot that went wide of the rim, successfully sending the team away.

Kemp's shot was still an airball.

The game ended with the Milwaukee Bucks narrowly defeating the Seattle SuperSonics 97-100 at home.

Compared to a high-quality, head-to-head match, this was more like a victory handed over by Seattle due to their own lapse in concentration.

In this game, Xu Feng maintained his excellent form, once again achieving a spectacular performance with 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists.

文·贝克24分10板4助2帽,肖恩·坎普20分12板3助2盖帽5失误。加里·佩顿18分4板8助3抢断4失误。

同时,12月14日打篮网那天,许峰以18岁358天打破了杰里·斯塔克豪斯的NBA历史最年轻单场35+先生,最年轻两双,最年轻35+10+5,最年轻35+10+6纪录。

On December 3, the All-Star voting officially began, which will undoubtedly further enhance Xu Feng's already impressive resume.
