林書豪傷停6周常規(guī)賽報(bào)銷 林瘋狂暫告落幕
Jeremy Lin will have left knee surgery next week and will miss six weeks, likely ending his amazing breakthrough season. The New York Knicks said Saturday their point guard had an MRI exam this week that revealed a small, chronic meniscus tear.
With the regular season ending April 26, the biggest story in basketball this season is probably done regardless of whether the Knicks make the playoffs.
He was barely holding on to a place in the NBA back in February. Now, after the back-to-back Sports Illustrated covers and popularity around the world, he has to go back to the bench when he wants to play most.
The Knicks will continue to turn to Baron Davis in place of Lin, the undrafted Harvard alum who became the starter in February and turned in a series of brilliant performances, kicking off Linsanity.
Lin is averaging 14.1 points and 6.1 assists, but the numbers only tell a small part of the story.
New York coach Mike Woodson, addressing reporters before the Cavaliers game, said it will be unlikely the team signs any point guards. In addition to Davis and Mike Bibby off the bench, Woodson said Toney Douglas can expect to see an increased role.
"If this was done very early in the year, obviously ... I don't know where my career would be. I could be, would be definitely without a job and probably fighting for a summer league spot," Lin said. "But having said that, this happening now hurts just as much, because all the players, we really put our heart and souls into the team and into the season, and to not be there when it really matters most is hard."
The Knicks were a mess when Lin was given a chance to play extended minutes at point guard for then-coach Mike D'Antoni on Feb. 4 against New Jersey.
Lin, the first American-born player of Chinese descent to play in the NBA, scored 25 points with seven assists in that New York victory, was inserted into the starting lineup two days later against Utah, and took the Knicks on a seven-game winning streak that gained world-wide attention.
"We've got to go on, but he's a big piece of our puzzle and what we've been doing as of late. All is not bad -- we have three veteran point guards sitting over there -- but we've just got to make do until he's able to get back in uniform," Woodson said. "But it is a big blow. He was starting to come as a player and it's not a career-ending injury. Plenty of people play with meniscus problems. He'll bounce back. We will anxiously await for him to get better."
Lin left the Knicks' easy victory over Detroit last Saturday, saying afterward he could have returned for the fourth quarter if the game had been close. He took part in shootaround before their game Monday and believed he could deal with the pain.
It's the second serious injury loss of the week for the Knicks, who are fighting for a playoff spot. Amare Stoudemire is out two to four weeks with a back injury, leaving the Knicks without their second- and third-leading scorers for perhaps the remainder of the regular season.
【NBA快訊】北京時(shí)間4月1日據(jù)紐約媒體報(bào)道,林書豪將進(jìn)行膝蓋手術(shù),為此他至少要休戰(zhàn)6周的時(shí)間,這意味著他很有可能賽季報(bào)銷,至少肯定無(wú)緣剩余的常規(guī)賽了。
對(duì)于尼克斯來(lái)說(shuō)這卻如同晴天霹靂一般,尤其是在球隊(duì)沖擊季后賽的節(jié)骨眼上球隊(duì)先后損失大將,先是斯塔德邁爾被曝至少休戰(zhàn)4周甚至可能要到季后賽才能復(fù)出;如今林書豪又倒了下去。在昨天輸給老鷹后尼克斯只領(lǐng)先雄鹿1.5個(gè)勝場(chǎng),今日球隊(duì)將于騎士交鋒。這意味著今年2月開始以來(lái)的“林風(fēng)暴”暫時(shí)告一段落,尼克斯隊(duì)再次回到原點(diǎn),他們急需一名合格的控衛(wèi)。
林書豪坦言自己的膝蓋早就感覺有些不太對(duì)勁,只是一直都在忍耐,但如今終于達(dá)到極限并不得不接受手術(shù)?!捌鋵?shí)今早我前往訓(xùn)練場(chǎng),想看看情況究竟怎么樣,結(jié)果我既無(wú)法起跳也無(wú)法突破,只能接受手術(shù)。”林書豪這樣說(shuō)道。
本賽季至今為止林書豪總共為尼克斯打了35場(chǎng)比賽,場(chǎng)均可以貢獻(xiàn)14.6分6.1助攻,是球隊(duì)的助攻王兼第三號(hào)得分手。他是在3月25日對(duì)陣活塞的比賽中受傷,為此曾休戰(zhàn)3場(chǎng)比賽。原本預(yù)計(jì)他或許能在4月4日復(fù)出,卻未料到卻等來(lái)了賽季報(bào)銷的噩耗。
