52.63 million US dollars in 1 year, absent from the opening game! Lao Zhan ended the god-level record, Redick had no choice but to speak out

The season is long, health is king, and the leftover is king! The new NBA season has not yet started, and injuries have become the biggest trouble for many teams in the East and West. Van Jordan of the Rockets, Morant& Jaren Jackson Jr.& of the Grizzlies& Eddie Clark, Topic of the Thunder, Gafford of the Mavericks, Henderson of the Trail Blazers, McConaughey of the Pacers, and George& McCain of the 76ers all have injuries to varying degrees, which also makes the league pattern more uncertain. Just today, bad news came from the Lakers: James is injured!

According to NBA reporter Shams, Lakers star James will miss at least 3-4 weeks due to right sciatica! There are only 12 days left before the Lakers' opening game of the new season (playing against the Warriors on October 22), which means that James will miss the opening game. During the offseason, Lao Zhan decided to exercise the player option worth US$52.63 million in the last year, starting the 23rd season of his career. According to statistics, this is the first time in his career that James has implemented a player option. James has made history by becoming the first player in NBA history to play for 23 seasons. Now, Lao Zhan is absent from the opening game, and his record of maintaining perfect attendance in 22 consecutive opening games has come to an end.

Since the start of the training camp, Lao Zhan has never participated in team training, but Lao Zhan has not been idle either. He imitates Curry every now and then to find the fun of playing golf! Just a few days ago, James used an old meme to "decided" to run a wave of advertisements for Hennessy, pretending to retire and deceiving thousands of fans, which caused huge controversy. When the news came out that James was absent from the opening game due to sciatica on his right side, ESPN experts couldn't help but complain: Maybe James can put some Hennessy on the wound, and maybe it will be cured. At the same time, some fans pointedly pointed out: Lao Zhan is 41 years old, and his groin has been affected by sciatica on the right side. It is expected that this situation will become more and more frequent in the future.

The sciatic nerve is not a disease. The pain can kill people. Lao Zhan's absence from the opening game is involuntarily! According to a follow-up report by Lakers team reporter Khobi Price, Lao Zhan said in an interview before the decision that his physical condition was not up to expectations. This is also the reason why he missed the team's joint training and preseason games. His goal was originally to return in the opener against the Warriors, but his recovery has never met expectations. Judging from the current situation, Lao Zhan will not only miss the opening game, but also miss many games at the beginning of the season. If he is not careful, he will not be able to meet the 65-game award requirement. His record of being selected for the best team of the year for 21 consecutive years may also end in the new season.

It has to be said that Father Time has finally caught up with the 41-year-old James. When he returns and whether he can return to his peak state is of great importance to himself and the Lakers. According to statistics, since joining the Lakers, the Lakers' record in the games Lao Zhan has played has been 248 wins and 171 losses; in the games Lao Zhan has missed, the Lakers' record has been only 56 wins and 78 losses! According to Lakers reporter Dave, sources revealed that Lao Zhan just needs time. His team has a well-established treatment plan that can restore Lao Zhan to the level he has been in his career, the man with influence and dominance! The implication: Lao Zhan is already 41 years old, and he will not gamble his career for the gains and losses of one city and one pool!

In this regard, Lakers coach Redick had no choice but to speak out in an interview. He only said one sentence: Lao Zhan has not participated in the team's full training so far, and he has his own recovery timetable. From Lao Zhan's execution of player options to decision 2, to his absence from the opening game due to sciatica, there must be something wrong when things go wrong. Various signs indicate that Lao Zhan and the Lakers seem to have passed their honeymoon period, and they appear to be in harmony but are inseparable! Perhaps, the new season is really the last dance of Lao Zhan's Lakers career. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
