The worst defending champion, three main players have been injured in two rounds, FMVP knee contusion, and the new coach is under pressure

The Liaoning men's basketball team, which has successfully defended its championship once, was full of confidence before the start of the season, and the whole team was united in its efforts to win the championship trophy, vowing to launch a powerful attack on the first three consecutive championships in the team's history. However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. The unfavorable reigning champions have suffered injuries to their main players one after another, which has cast a shadow over their prospects for the new season and will be able to compete for the title of the worst defending champion.

First, Allen Guo suffered a leg injury in training before the start of the season, and his eldest nephew directly emo late-night, and frustrated in the interaction with the fans that "my leg is finished", which made the hearts of all Liaoning fans tighten. Fu Haoguangguang, who has been with national team tasks in the offseason, returned to the team soon after, contributing 10 points and 5 rebounds in the opening game, and maintained his condition quite well. However, since Fu Hao did not appear in the second round of the match against the Sichuan team, everyone felt that something was strange, sure enough, Fu Hao was infected with pneumonia, in fact, he insisted on playing with injuries in the last game, and this time he really couldn't hold on.

It stands to reason that the reigning champion's fortunes should have bottomed out, but something worse happened - against the Sichuan team, Zhao Jiwei, who was in good form and scored 10 points on three points in only half a quarter, was injured. The injury was so sudden, in a rebounding scramble, I obviously felt that the figure of this FMVP paused, and then slowly squatted down for half a day without being able to get up. Zhao Jiwei, who realized that he could not continue the game, then returned to the locker room for treatment, and in everyone's anxious waiting, the Liaoning team officially announced the MRI of Jiwei's knee injury.

The good news is that Ji Wei has no structural injury to his knee, and the bad news is that his injury was diagnosed as a bone injury to the left knee, commonly known as a contusion. This kind of injury is a soft injury in the traditional sense, recovery can only rely on rest, I can't remember at all, to paraphrase the official phrase, "when Jiwei can return to the arena, it depends on the follow-up treatment and rehabilitation". In short, the return date is undecided, if the team's war is not tight, then slowly raise, wait for the sharp to return again; On the contrary, if the war on the front line is unfavorable, I am afraid that Jiwei himself will ask to return to fight the fire as soon as possible, but this is not good at all for the recovery of such a soft injury.

Fortunately, Liaoning has won two consecutive victories since the start of the tournament despite this pressure, and the morale of the whole team is strong, and with the momentum of the defending champion, it can still withstand a battle. The biggest pressure is still on the new coach Lopez, if there is no such a large area of injuries, the foreign coach has mastered the subtlety of the overall rotation of the Liaoning team under the guidance of Yang Ming last season, and can slowly optimize and adjust according to his own ideas; Now that three of the main players have been injured at once, this has caused the new manager some headaches, especially since the absence of the backfield twin has left him stretched thin on the choice of defenders.

In the game with the Sichuan team, Lopez died as a live horse doctor, pushed Yan Shouqi to the front of the stage, and Shoudi handed over 2 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers in 22 minutes of playing time, which is indeed a bit lackluster; Young General Zhang Junhao can't count on him too much for a while. Apart from the option of letting Ferg make a cameo appearance as number one from time to time, there really isn't anything particularly good. In the next schedule, there are many strong teams such as Guangdong, Xinjiang and Beijing, can the Liaoning men's basketball team withstand the pressure? Looking forward to their performance, I also hope that the three injured can recover as soon as possible and the injuries will retreat!
