Chapter 553 Comeback Test
Chapter 553 Comeback Test
"...8...9...10! OK! It's done!" In the training hall, the trainer Bruce helped Mullin put the barbell back to its original position.
"It seems that the strength recovery is not bad!" After pulling Mullin up, Bruce couldn't help but praise.
"Having been at home for half a year, I can't exercise my legs, so I have to do some upper body strength training, right?" Mullin compared his biceps to Bruce, and it can be seen that the muscle lines are much better than before.
"Won't adding a lot of strength training like this affect shooting?" Bruce, who has been a trainer for Li Weisi for a year, is now very familiar with shooting training, so he can easily think of it by himself.
"Don't worry, I pay attention to contact shooting. Of course, because I can't practice with my lower body and waist, I'm afraid I need further training." Speaking of this, Mullin couldn't help but smiled bitterly.
This injury made Mullin very troubled. Although he actively participated in rehabilitation training, the recovery effect was not satisfactory. He thought he could recover in April, but it was delayed until May.
Looking at Ben's explanation, the Warriors and Trail Blazers fought very hard, and he couldn't help but want to come back early. Unfortunately, he was unanimously opposed by the attending doctor, coach Nelson and others.
Fortunately, the team quickly turned the corner. With a 2:2 tie, they won the series for two consecutive games, which finally made Mullin feel at ease.
However, even though the team won, Mullin was still not very happy, because it made him feel that his own value had been hit hard. The so-called winning is not terrible, and whoever is missing is embarrassed. The team is second only to Moses Malone.
Now, with the progress of rehabilitation training, Mullin is expected to return in the Western Conference Finals. The specific time depends on his own state and the team's victory or defeat.
Today, when the team executives are testing themselves, the moment they have been looking forward to for so long has finally arrived, making Mullin even a little excited.
It's a pity that I don't know whether it's because I haven't played for too long, or I'm too excited, which made Mullin's performance not good today. Obviously, his body can't adapt to the high-intensity game, and he doesn't seem to be doing well technically and mentally. Game preparation.
Such a result makes neither Nelson nor Frank very satisfied. After all, seeing the Western Conference Finals is close at hand, and the opponent is the old enemy Lakers. If Mullin is unable to play with such strength, it will be a huge loss for the team. of.
Even though the Warriors have entered the Western Conference Finals again, the outside world doesn't think highly of the Warriors this year. After all, to play against the Trail Blazers, Li Weisi needs to score 61 points to win. Although the game is good, it doesn't just prove that Are the Warriors weaker?
Although it seems that the Lakers on the opposite side are not in good condition, judging from the current comparison of combat power, the Lakers are still more optimistic.
Regarding this point, even Nelson and Frank cannot deny that they have also placed their team on the weaker side. Not only that, but there is no home field advantage in this year's Western Conference finals. hesitate.
"How about this, the first game, don't come back, let's see the results?" Frank suggested.
Regarding the formation of the team, Frank has always only had the right to suggest. The real decision is made by Niels. Frank has always been very clear about this.
"Okay, I hope the team wins the first game and let Chris train for two more days. To be honest, in his current state, I might as well let Lewis continue to play!" Nils shrugged and opened a conversation with Frank. Not a joke.
"Yeah! I hope Chris can adjust as soon as possible to catch up with the Western Conference Finals."
"What's going on with Moses?"
"It's still the same. Although the back muscles have healed, the pain in the nerves still makes it difficult for him to move. Although he said he can persevere, I don't think it's better not to let him go until the last moment. He is now very old. If you get hurt again, you really have to retire." Frank couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Then let him rest more. Anyway, in the center position, Dak is currently dealing with the centers of several other teams, and it is still no problem."
The two hid on the sidelines, and with a few words, they arranged for the two injured numbers. Although Mullin is still working hard on the court, his fate has been finalized.
While speaking, Nelson suddenly asked Frank again: "By the way, I heard that this summer, how many of Dak and the others are going to leave? Then what will the team use to fill their missing positions?"
Although the playoffs are not over yet, and the players are still fighting for the championship, rumors from the outside world have never stopped, and they have also been circulating within the team.
Even, in the eyes of many people in the team, this year will be the last year of this historical warrior. Although the starters will be there next year, the substitutes will inevitably bleed heavily, and the entire team is likely to fall apart this summer.
Such remarks have always been popular. Obviously, even Nelson has the same concern now.
"Do you need to add? Don't you think the team has always been overcrowded?" Frank did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Ah? Although you seem to be saying that a little bit, so many people are leaving suddenly..."
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you!" Frank patted Nelson on the shoulder and said, "However, I still hope that you can dig as much as possible in the team, Drazen, Vlad, and Dell , Anthony and others continue to grow, I believe that as long as there is no wave of injuries like this year, the team's bench strength will not weaken too much."
Regarding Frank's answer, Nelson nodded, obviously agreeing. In fact, sometimes, even Nelson himself felt that it was too extravagant for the team to have such a group of good players as substitutes.
However, Nelson, who was used to fighting for wealth, was still somewhat disappointed, so he couldn't help asking: "What about this year's draft? With the king's pick, we should have three draft picks, right?"
"Forget about that, I'm ready to trade."
"What?" Nelson couldn't help but exclaimed, but soon he realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly lowered his voice and said, "This year is when your strength is declining, why are you planning to trade? You choose a few more newcomers Is it okay to come?"
"Do you really think of me as a god? Please, if there are no good seedlings, what should I choose?" Frank couldn't help but give Nelson a blank look.
"How could it be? Isn't this year the year of the draft? Besides, the King's pick shouldn't be low, right?" Nelson asked in disbelief.
"Don't listen to the media's nonsense. According to those people, that year's draft was not a big year? Anyway, don't worry about draft picks. Play the playoffs first. As for the lineup, I will arrange it!"
"Alright then." Nelson said reluctantly.
