In the NBA East Finals G7 battle, with Butler's last three-point shot out of the box, the Celtics had a thrilling stand out and reached the Finals.
After the game, people's attention to the Heat and Celtics' wins and losses boiled down to:
1. Celtics' first 6 minute lead strategy;
2. Butler's last-ditch choice;
3. Luck.
Celtic experts believe the first 6 minutes are crucial.
Butler chose three points for the final shot.
However, my point is that it was Butler and Smart's ankle injuries that dominated the outcome.
Looking at the whole field, it seems that every team member is alive and well, and there is no impact of any injury. However, as people drink water, cold and warm self-knowledge. After a sprain of the ankle, the ligament is torn, the local blood vessels rupture and bleed, the stasis accumulates inside and outside the joint, forming a hematoma, irritating the nerve endings, producing a tingling sensation. This kind of pain is only experienced by the wounded. The two major stars butler and Smart who came out with injuries were both sprained on the right ankle, although after the injury, after manual massage, ice and other measures, it is estimated that there are oral anti-inflammatory painkillers, Smart's right ankle is also wrapped in a thick bandage fixed, but the high-intensity competition will definitely cause severe pain in the injured ankle. It's just the player's willpower, or it may be a cover-up of painkillers, so that the audience friends can't see the impact of injuries on them.
Smart's right ankle paradome is protected by a fixed ankle.
Butler is super capable, and if you look closely at the game before his right ankle injury, he prefers to break through from the left side with the ball, indicating that his axis foot is most likely right foot. However, after injuring his right ankle, he had to switch his left foot to an axis foot, almost always breaking through from the right side. This has two consequences:
1. The offensive efficiency is low, and the self-body energy consumption is large.
Attacking on the right, Smart moves quickly with his left foot.
Although it is scored, it consumes a lot of physical energy.
2. Used by the opponent, the defense can not keep up.
His right foot did not heel up and was directly thrown off by Tatum.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Virtual Reality": "The image of the husband soldier is water." The shape of water, avoiding the high and falling; the shape of the soldier, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual. Water flows according to the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy. The Heat didn't focus on Smart's injury very well, and actually let Smart, who had a second-degree ankle sprain, get 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists! I think it's because he has two big roles on the pitch:
1. It is a defensive gate, even if there is an ankle sprain, it can also play a deterrent role on the field;
2. At the same time, the injured ankle can paralyze the opponent and make the opponent's defense lax.
The Heat's defense against Smart was lax.
Winning and losing aside, both stars played brilliantly with injured ankles that feasted on the audience's friends. Just the overdrawn ankle is crying... Under the protection of the brace, under the cover of painkillers, they paralyzed the painful nerves, making the damage worse unconsciously, and even the appearance of traumatic arthritis in the future, which may be difficult to restore today's glory. They are advocating individual heroism, but in the dark, the injury is the biggest black hand behind the scenes.
