My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 203: Shaq's Injury

"Shaq O'Neal's MRI results are out." Dr. Buss held a meeting of the Lakers management, Jerry West, Del Harris, Kurt Rambis, Jenny Buss, Jimmy Buss and other managers all turn up.

Today we need to discuss the impact of O'Neal's injury on the team and determine the team's policy for the second half of the season.

"O'Neal suffered a partial torn tendon in his left knee. Fortunately, it was not a ligament injury or a meniscus injury. He needs to rest for 6-8 weeks before he can fully recover."

After listening to these speeches, all the people present were relieved. Fortunately, their careers were not affected, and the rest time was not too long. They could return to the field at the end of the regular season and would not affect their performance in the playoffs.

This year, he just dropped a 7-year 120 million contract on O'Neal. If it is bad, the Lakers have almost no hope for the next ten years.

The tendon is partially torn. This injury is neither big nor small. It takes a certain amount of time to recover through surgery and rehabilitation.

"Let O'Neal rest for two months, and he will fully recover before playing." Jeri Buss set the tone for this matter, so that the Lakers' management will not be as short-sighted as the Magic, and let the stars who have not fully recovered to 100% play on the court Contest.

"Understood, Dr. Bath."

"Due to the lack of an absolute core center, we need to reconfirm the team's operating policy for the second half of this season. We currently rank first in the league record, followed by the Bulls, who are only two wins away from us. If we If you want to compete for the top spot in the regular season, then you have to get some help for Kobe." Jerry West said.

"You let go and do it. By the way, Jerry, you can ask Kobe's idea. That kid is a big kid, and he is very accurate in judging people. Several people he valued this season have performed very well."

"I will ask him, and then there is the tactical composition. This will require Harris to spend a lot of time. We can train more players in the next game. For some uncritical games, there is no problem giving up. Don't force the players too much. It's tight, Kobe and his team have had enough training. The injuries of Bowen and O'Neal have reminded us that we have to pay as much as we get. We can't take the risk of player injuries to forcefully compete for the victory. "

"Understood, I will arrange it properly." Harris looked dignified. Although injuries will always happen, as a head coach, he still has to try his best to avoid them.

In particular, the absolute core of the team is only Kobe. If Kobe is injured again, the team will collapse across the board.

Kobe is still a high school student, and his body is not fully developed. At this time, he must not be dead.

If you look at the Magic, you will know that O'Neal is missing, and the core guards suffered heavy pressure and suffered injuries, which is closely related to the fact that the record has plummeted.

The Lakers have the Magic as a lesson for the past, and of course they know what to do next.

"In the next game, Kobe will undoubtedly be the absolute core of our team. Del, you need to make it easier for Kobe to play. What kind of player do you think the team needs to be suitable for Kobe?"

"I think the current team structure is fairly complete. After Daben is on top of the starter, there is no problem with the starter's defense. At present, the substitute needs a high-quality insider. After all, Terry Wright has no way to adapt to the rhythm in high-intensity games."

"If it is to cooperate with Kobe, I think we can introduce a pitcher to share Kobe's offensive pressure and make Kobe's breakthrough more threatening."

"Understood." West nodded, this statement is similar to what he thought, and then he will ask Kobe, and then start to trade, the All-Stars are still half a month away, and they will soon enter the trading deadline The date is coming soon.

"Very well, then we will disband." Dr. Bass finalized some details and announced the end of the meeting.

This meeting is also known as the 127 Zunke Meeting.

At this time in a private hospital in Los Angeles, the Lakers players are visiting O'Neal together.

"Shaq, are you feeling better?" Kobe handed over a bottle of drink.

"It's okay. The doctor told me that the problem is not serious. It will be fine after a minor operation and rest for 2 months. I won't miss the playoffs!" O'Neal said in a relaxed tone.

"Heal from minor injuries, heal up and play again, and the record of the regular season will be handed over to us."

"No problem, we will team up to kill the enemy in the playoffs!" O'Neal seems to be in high spirits, but in fact he is still a little frustrated. This year is a very good year for him to win the MVP. If he can beat the Bulls and win the regular season championship, MVP is in O'Neal's bag.

What does it mean to be a 25-year-old MVP? It means that he can secure the position of the league's top center for at least 5 years. If he wins a few key honors during this period, then his historical status can impact those ancient superstars .

And this injury, the Cleveland All-Star Game will be in half a month, and O'Neal will miss this All-Star Game. This is also a heartache for O'Neill, who loves to play, loves to be funny, and loves to show off.

Kobe could fully understand O'Neal's mood. The team was on the right track, but suddenly got injured. This was a big blow to a player, but fortunately it was not a serious injury.

In the previous life, O'Neal also suffered from this injury at the end of January, which eventually caused him to only play 51 games this season. Kobe originally thought that there were more three-quarter check-ins this season, and O'Neal's body would not be injured. He never expected that the inevitability of history is so Strong, O'Neill was still injured in the end, but fortunately the injury seemed to be a little lighter than in the previous life.

Bryant considered using a healing potion on O'Neal, but eventually gave up. It wasn't that serious. If you recover at this time and get injured again in the playoffs, it will not be worth the loss.

The key props should be reserved for critical times, and the record in the regular season is not that important.

"Are the outside media talking bad about us again?" O'Neill asked.

Kobe laughed, O'Neal really understands those media, and now the media has begun to frantically attack Kobe and the Lakers led by the single-core team.

"Of course, you know the media."

All the media believe that within half a month, the Lakers who lost O'Neal will give up the league's first place, and the Lakers who lost O'Neal will be like the current Magic, struggling on the edge of the playoffs.

Kobe, like Penny, would quickly lose all aura and become a mediocre All-Star.

Many media are ready to add insult to injury.

This is the speculation of the media. After all, there is a Magic team as a model, and it is difficult for people to think otherwise.
