No. 0 jersey curse! Halliburton tear the Achilles tendon in tiebreak, playoff 3 No. 0 star fell

The NBA Finals tiebreak battle, the cruelest script was staged - Pacers star Tyres Halliburton suddenly fell to the ground without any confrontation in the first quarter, and his right Achilles tendon was suspected to be broken, so he withdrew directly!

What's even more strange is that the US media BricksCenter tweeted after the game: "Three people suffered Achilles tendon injury in the playoffs, and all three wore No. 0 jerseys. Are the No. 0 jerseys cursed?" Previously, Damian Lillard of the Bucks and Jason Tatum of the Celtics also suffered Achilles tendon injuries in the playoffs, and they - they all wore No. 0 jerseys!

6 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter. Halliburton suddenly stopped when he broke through with the ball, unable to exert force with his right leg, and then fell to the ground in pain and slapped the floor frantically.

Slow motion shows that his right calf muscles were obviously twitching. Medical expert Dr. Evan Jeffries analyzed immediately: "This is a typical sign of Achilles tendon rupture, and injuries are often more serious without confrontation." The Pacers' team surrounded him instantly. After the team doctor's emergency examination, Halliburton was helped to leave the field, his right leg was completely unable to bear the load, and he finally returned to the locker room in a wheelchair. The curse of jersey

0? This season's playoffs, three No. 0 players have suffered serious injuries to Achilles tendon:

Damian Lillard (Bucks): fell to the ground without any confrontation in the Eastern Conference semifinals, confirmed to have a torn Achilles tendon, and the season was reimbursed;

Jason Tatum (Celtic): Achilles tendon ruptured while grabbing the ball in the Eastern Conference finals and left the court in a wheelchair;

Halliburton (Pacers): Achilles tendon ruptured in the first quarter of the finals, which may affect career.

"This is so weird," famous vocalist Stephen A. Smith exclaimed in the live broadcast, "Is the No. 0 jersey cursed? Three All-Stars, the same serious injury!"

, and fans even found out history - Russell Westbrook (who once wore No. 0) also suffered a meniscus tear on his right knee in the 2013 playoffs. Although it was not an Achilles tendon injury, it was also reimbursed for the season.

In addition, according to data, if Halliburton is also a problem with the Achilles tendon, then he is the 8th player torn Achilles tendon this season, the highest in the NBA history, and the previous highest was 5 cases in the 2014-15 season. Medical experts warn that the recovery period for Achilles tendon rupture usually takes 10-12 months, and athletes' athletic ability often declines significantly after returning. Lillard has been confirmed to miss most of the next season, and Tatum's return date is not yet determined, and 24-year-old Halliburton is facing the biggest challenge in his career.

However, although the Pacers lost Halliburton, the team did not fall. At the end of the half, the Pacers still led by 1 point 48-47. The next half will be more intense, and I hope there will be no injuries again
