Why are there more and more injuries to players nowadays? Are the stars too fragile?

Congratulations to the Thunder for reaching the finals. Did they and the Timberwolves take the injury bonus? Why are there more and more injuries to players nowadays? Brothers, please like, collect and follow us. Let’s start quickly and go to the Hall of Fame to find out!

Thunders eliminated the Timberwolves without bloodshed. After 13 years, the Timberwolves' strength has been questioned. Some people say that the Nuggets can play against the Thunder until the tiebreak, and the Clippers can play against the Nuggets until the tiebreak. Their strength is underestimated compared to the Timberwolves. Some people even suggested that the Timberwolves have received the injury bonus of the Lakers Warriors. After all, the Timberwolves had no strength to fight back before Curry's hamstring strain. The Lakers were also fully passive due to Doncic's food poisoning in the third game. The Timberwolves fans were dissatisfied and believed that the Thunder entered the Western Conference Finals because of Morant's injury, Gordon Porter and Westbrook were injured and beaten, and the Thunder did not have the right to say about the Timberwolves.

Actually, I have to say that in comparison, the injuries in the East are more serious. In addition to Thunder, the injuries of the Knights and Celtics directly affected their path to promotion. Of course, we cannot say that if Garland, Mobley, Hunter and others are not injured, they will definitely beat this Pacers who are super gods at critical moments. Before Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured, the Knicks had already grabbed two home games of the Celtics. Even when Tatum was injured in the fourth game, the Knicks' advantage had basically been established. Now in the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, Nesmith and Towns have different degrees of injuries, and they are also in doubt now. So instead of which team finally gets the bonus of injury, it is better to discuss why there are so many injuries now? Anyway, as a fan of the teacher, I regret my injuries, but I don’t want to live in the world of if I want to discuss whether the Nuggets can win the championship this year without the injury. Anyway, the championship in the real world has been won. After all, if I want to say that if, the Nuggets should be a team at the final level in 21 years.

In fact, the thing that shook my view the most this year was that Tatum, who is known for his resistance to killing and pursuing his ability, suffered an Achilles tendon injury. You can't say how big the unexpected component of this incident is. At least in my perception, there will be no iron man anymore, because iron man like Tatum has suffered severe fatigue injuries, which proves that the so-called iron man is just not at its limit. So when I saw Aaron Gordon straining his hamstring, I strongly opposed him to come back from the tiebreak. Even if the tremor in the end, I would rather give up this season and maintain his healthy bottom line. At that time, someone said that I was soft and it didn't matter. What I wanted to see was that these players could have a healthy and complete career, so I would bet on players, instead of using championships and victory as capital to brag with other fans. I would never use the players I like as a bragging tool.

Some people say that the players are too fragile and don't carry it as they used to do. Some people say that modern basketball is soft, and there are so many basketball battles in the past, but they don't see so many serious injuries. In fact, this is also a bad information. First of all, the current NBA promotion is strong, and you can easily get to know all famous superstars, so someone seriously injured will have a great impact on you. The Smiling Assassin, Finley and even Ewing of the last century have suffered major Achilles tendon injuries, but you may only remember Wilkins at most; and the torn cruciate ligament of Parish, Grant Hill and others is too far away for you.

Another point is that active players do have heavier loads than before. After all, although basketball in the 1990s was said to be more intense in confrontation, it was an era when joint defense was prohibited. The distance between players' stadiums was far less than that of now. Many role players did not need to run frequently to catch the ball in that era, so they could not involve the energy of defenders without the ball. Some people say that the schedule is too close now, and the lengthening of the All-Star weekend has indirectly led to the longer intervals in the playoffs. Many teams have to play the next round after only one day of rest. After all, it is difficult for the NBA to lengthen the schedule to affect the players' holidays.

To sum up, there are many different things, so brothers, you think that the players are getting more and more seriously injured. How can tragedies like Tatum and Lillard be avoided? Please leave your opinion in the comment section!
