Why are there so many injuries in this era?

So far this season, we are comparing who is healthy.

Curry is injured. Garland was injured. Mobri was injured.

Giannis has been injured in the playoffs for the past two years.

Leonard missed most of the season this season.

Bankero has been missing for half a season.

Gordon misses the beginning of the season.

Thunder's Chet was injured for half a season. Pistons are missing Ivy.

The Knicks suffered an injury last season. Miro missed most of the season in the regular season, but fortunately, he has been strong in the playoffs to this day.

Tatum, who can't fall, is injured.

Why are there so many injuries, and most of them are no confrontational injuries?

In the space era, there are more round trips and more runnings.

Ten years ago, the regular season had three people running more than 200 miles: Lillard, Wiggins, and McLemo - Curry, who ran 192 miles a year. Next season, five people over 200 miles. Three people over 200 miles next season.

Players who have run 200 miles in regular season this season: ten people.

If you just run, it's not scary.

Ten years ago, the NBA shot 22 three-pointers per game, and 38 per game this season. Which one is more tiring, inside interference or three-pointer, is more tiring, you can tell if you don’t ask.

Coach Stotts mentioned something before that when the space was not wide in the past, people also paid attention to sliding down the center of gravity and moving horizontally at the defensive end. Now that the space is wide and the number of pick-and-rolls increases, everyone must stop and turn sharply at any time, which will put more pressure on joint soft tissue.

If it is just a sudden stop and a sharp turn, it is not scary, but it still needs hand-to-hand combat in the playoffs. MVPs in the past six finals - Jaylen Brown, Jokic, Curry, Giannis, LeBron, Leonard - Apart from Curry, who is not a body that is muscle/pork belly, beyond the average position? Tatum is also practicing upper limbs and weight.

More emergency stops and turns, more running, weight, and playoff melee. So that's it.

Many teams are thinking of ways. For example, collectively reducing playing time.

In 2010, ten NBA players played 3,000 minutes throughout the year, and the scoring champion Durant had 3,239 minutes.

This season, the NBA only played 3,000 minutes, and the second Hart was 2,897 minutes: Even so, their coach Thibodeau has already been considered a squeezing person.

is the so-called "load management" - like Leonard, the year he won the Raptors in 2019, the regular season was just 1,596 minutes.

(In fact, Hardento's regular season and Leonard supported the playoffs this season is similar to 2019, but the Clippers didn't go far)

You can also consider taking a little fish in the regular season. In April 2017, Curry said that after experiencing 73 wins and losses in the previous year, the Warriors no longer pursued regular season record and "just want to go to the finals healthy."

- The Cavaliers ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season this season, and both Garland and Mobley were injured in the playoffs.

But the league doesn't want everyone to care about the regular season, so it proposed:

65 awards system, and the linkage of regular season honors and contracts.

The recent championship cases:

Curry was injured in the regular season in 2022, only the second team of the year, and the first round of the playoffs substitute, slowly recovered and won the championship.

Jokic played a total of 50 minutes in the last half month of the regular season in 2023, without three consecutive regular season MVPs, and won the championship in the playoffs.

Boringis was injured in 2024, and the Celtics allowed him to recover from the entire Eastern Conference playoffs and returned to the finals to win the championship.

Abstract, if you want to manage load + fish in the regular season, the league will issue a bond of honor contracts + 65 awards.

dilemma.

The ideal one is either Iron Man, who will win all the regular season playoffs: but there are few such players.

Either they get enough honors and don't care about temporary gains and losses, the team's thickness also allows them to leave a little rest:

For example, 2022 Curry and 2023 Jokic.

In this era, there is increasing demand for giving up and giving up.

After all, the physical monster of the regular season MVP + MVP in the finals of the same year was twelve years ago: it was the era when the NBA only made more than half of the three-point shots in 92 rounds per game in the NBA.
