CBA playoffs so far in the past month, there have been a number of teams of main players injured and announced season reimbursement, according to incomplete statistics there are Zhejiang Guangsha team Hu Jinqiu, Xinjiang team Zhao Rui and Guangdong Hongyuan team Zhou Qi, etc., they are not only the main core of the team but also the main players of the men's national basketball team, each of their injuries will have a different degree of impact on the game of the mainland men's national basketball team.
Hu Jinqiu was injured in the first round of the playoffs against the Guangdong team G2, in this game Hu Jinqiu jumped under the basket to compete for rebounds, stepped on Zhou Qi's foot when he landed, and was then helped out of the court by the staff, after the game, according to the news of the Guangsha team, Hu Jinqiu suffered a torn ligament in his left foot and was reimbursed for the season. This is the fourth major injury Hu Jinqiu has suffered in three consecutive seasons, after the previous three times were two in 2022 and one in 2023.
On April 15, 2022, in the semifinals of the playoffs, G2 Hu Jinqiu was hit into the left rib and was diagnosed with a ruptured spleen and bleeding in the spleen;
In September 2022, Hu Jinqiu fractured his left calf in an internal training match with the Shandong team;
2023 Playoffs Semifinals G4 Hu Jinqiuwei suffered a foot injury and was reimbursed for the season;
On April 20 this year, he was injured again in the game against Guangdong, and Hu Jinqiu's health was really worrying. Last year's semi-finals Guangsha team 2-1 Liaoning, this is the closest Hu Jinqiu and Guangsha team to the championship year, if Hu Jinqiu is not injured, they are very hopeful to enter the finals or even win the championship.
Zhao Rui was injured in G3 in the second round of the playoffs against Zhejiang, and on the evening of April 8, the Xinjiang team officially announced that Zhao Rui suffered a large thigh strain and will miss all games this season. Zhao Rui had an injury when he was in the Guangdong team, and he recuperated for most of the season after going to the Xinjiang team, and was injured again after just coming back to play a few games in the playoffs.
Zhao Rui only played 9 games in the regular season this season, including 5 starts, averaging 12.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, and in the playoffs, Zhao Rui made a comeback in the G3 game against the Guangzhou team, but only played 5 games before being injured again and the season was reimbursed, and Zhao Rui averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in 5 games.
Zhou Qi also had injuries before coming to the Guangdong team, his waist injury was an old injury, he had it when he played in the national team before, and he also recuperated for most of the season after coming to the Guangdong team, and he only played 28 games in the entire regular season, averaging 27.9 minutes per game. In the playoffs, excluding the two suspended games, he also played only six games, averaging 16.2 points, 12 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 26.3 minutes per game. The intensity of the playoffs, the fierce confrontation, coupled with the Liaoning team's desperate defense in the G4 game, especially Moreland's various dangerous moves, also directly or indirectly led to Zhou Qi's injury.
From the above three players, we can see that they are basically old injuries, habitual injuries, let's not talk about the physical problems of these players, they are definitely not as good as those black players in the NBA. However, as the core of the team and the main force of the national team, they have a heavy task all year round, and they have exceeded the limit of their physical load, and as the main player, they will definitely be defended by the opponent players, and the intensity of physical confrontation will be more likely to lead to injuries.
Just like Yao Ming before, he not only has to play NBA games, but also plays big and small games of the national team, which will also affect the career of players, similar to Ding Yanyuhang and Sun Minghui. Because there are only so many players who can play in the entire CBA, unlike the American team, which has a large number of players to choose from in the NBA, it can only be the ability to work more to make these main forces run at high load all year round, unlike the American team in the NBA There are a large number of players to choose from.
