Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 215 Danzi’s comeback battle!
"Michael Jordan is on!"

"After more than 140 days, he finally returned to the public eye."

"He didn't get a chance to play until the second quarter of the game. It was probably because he had been out of action for a long time and the Bulls coaching staff wanted him to adapt first."

On March 1986, 3, Jordan, who had been injured for more than four months, finally got a chance to play.

Prior to this, Orlando Ulrich, who was also injured for many games, had returned for a few games, but when he returned to the game, his performance was not good. His condition was up and down, and his field goal average dropped to 40%.

Simply, he was replaced directly by Jayna Banks and became a frustrated rotation player.

In other words, Jerry Krause and the coaching staff are very cautious in the use of injured players returning.

After they came back, they did not rush to return to the starting lineup, but first went to the bench to find their status.

Danzi is like this, and he should be like this too.

This night, Danzi, who was so hungry to return to the game that he even made a scene in the boss's mansion, finally got the chance to play.

"I thought he would really come back indefinitely and be reimbursed for the entire season. Now it seems that he has recovered well from his injury and has been approved by the team management to play."

Su Wen poured himself a glass of water, and there was a bag of melon seeds on the coffee table, enjoying the rare time to watch the game.

Unless Danzi can explode wildly during this rotation period or the Bulls can explode with the power of three consecutive victories.

Currently, the regular season record rankings are as follows:

On the Western side, eighth and ninth, only half a game away. As long as the Kings win the next game and the Spurs lose, the former can squeeze out the latter.

As for the first-place SuperSonics, they have won 59 games and lost only 7 games, ranking first in the league, 6 wins higher than the second-place Celtics.

If he doesn't come back, he will have to take a whole season off and completely give up on this year's playoffs.

Su Wen averaged 35.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 13.4 assists and 3.5 blocks per game. He only ranked first in the scoring and assist rankings. He did not value personal data.

There was no SuperSonics game tonight. After training for a day, Su Wen had a premonition that today might be Danzi's comeback, so he stayed in front of the TV early in the morning.

The commentator was talking and Su Wen was listening.

At the same time, the audience burst into loud cheers after he was announced, and they seemed to be eager to see the core return.

"Michael Jordan has been recovering from an injury since he fractured his left foot in the third game of the new season at the end of October. The 84-star double star has lost a lot of highlights since he was missing."

east--

They are only two games away from the Cavaliers. If the Bulls cannot take advantage of their winning streak to continue to catch up, they may always be pulled away and never be able to catch up.

1. Seattle SuperSonics, 59 wins and 7 losses;
2. Los Angeles Lakers, 50 wins and 16 losses;
3. Houston Rockets, 42 wins and 25 losses;
4. Denver Nuggets, 40 wins and 27 losses;
5. Dallas Mavericks, 36 wins and 36 losses;
6. Utah Jazz, 33 wins and 35 losses;
7. Portland Trail Blazers, 33 wins and 36 losses;
8. San Antonio Spurs, 31 wins and 37 losses;
9. Sacramento Kings, 30 wins and 37 losses.

The eighth promotion spot is also highly competitive.

Just considering that he had just recovered, the coaching staff only gave him game time during the rotation, allowing him to find his form, adapt, and be in a protective period.

Otherwise, judging from the rotation arrangement of the Bulls' two core players just after their comeback, what can the Bulls do to fight the Bucks?
Danzi doesn't seem to have such an idea.

Their coaching staff also considered this reason and reluctantly agreed to let Danzi return.

This is the same as the day when the other party came back in the previous life. His appearance did not bring this day forward due to the butterfly effect.

This probably also stimulated Danzi to a certain extent.

The Indiana Pacers, who are second to last, are tied with wins.

At this time, the Chicago Bulls had just won three consecutive victories over the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, and Denver Nuggets, raising their winning streak to 24 wins and 43 losses.

What about the Western Conference ranking——

When the camera captured the expression on Danzi's face, Su Wen could clearly see the eagerness to fight in Danzi's eyes, and it seemed that he was already impatient.

If he doesn't catch up, his future will only get further and further away.

Danzi only had data from three games before. Even if personal data is important, the number of games is so pitiful. Even if it is similar, it has no gold content.

Because he was not far behind, Danzi was very active as soon as he came on the field, running up and down like a cheetah, very excited.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

1. Boston Celtics, 53 wins and 13 losses;
2. Milwaukee Bucks, 46 wins and 22 losses;
3. Philadelphia 76ers, 43 wins and 24 losses;
4. Atlanta Hawks, 42 wins and 26 losses;
5. Detroit Pistons, 40 wins and 27 losses;
6. New Jersey Nets, 34 wins and 35 losses;
7. Washington Bullets, 32 wins and 35 losses;
8. Cleveland Cavaliers, 26 wins and 41 losses;
9. Chicago Bulls, 24 wins and 43 losses;
10. Indiana Pacers, 24 wins and 45 losses;
There is a huge gap between the Bulls and the seventh-place Bullets. It is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up by the end of the season.

"Next, we'll look at him."

With only 14 games left until the end of the regular season, teams across the league that are pursuing the playoffs are making a final sprint, and no one is willing to lose one more game.
This is why Danzi is eager to come back.

Guys in the same class as him not only won the championship in his rookie season, which was a big step ahead of him, but also led the team this season with an unparalleled record, far ahead of him.

Danzi finally took the field tonight after appearing on the bench many times in uniform.

In this game, the Bulls faced the Milwaukee Bucks, second in the Eastern Conference. If nothing unexpected happens, the former has little chance of winning.

This record is far away from entering the playoffs. It is only ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference and is two wins away from eighth in the Eastern Conference.

This means that they have not given up on this season yet and still want to give it a try.

As for the average performance between the two after he was injured,
Forget it, he thinks that he is not the kind of person who only sees data. He does not value personal data.

as predicted.

After he came on the field, the score difference between the two sides was not big, 43:37, and the Bulls at home were only 6 points behind.

When the TBS commentator looked at him with a smile, doing warm-up exercises, with a hint of excitement in his calm eyes, and preparing to go on stage, he felt as if he was in another world.

However, it was in vain.

His teammates did not pass the ball to him immediately.

After all, what kind of strong man can a teammate who plays during the rotation be?
Those are all normal rotation players, and they all urgently need to perform to impress the coaching staff and prove to the other side that they can be as qualified as a starter like Jayna Banks.

After Danzi ran back and forth several times, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to his teammates for the ball.

Looking at his calm face, he didn't seem to be unhappy because he ran back and forth without the ball several times in a row. He also seemed to be saying, I've warmed up well and my legs and feet are fine.
Mike Holden, who served as the backup point guard, realized that he was a super star with high hopes in the team, and finally stopped coveting the ball and passed the ball to him.

As soon as he got the ball, Danzi immediately broke through the opponent's substitute Mike Glenn, who was leading the defense, and reached the inside.

When he rushed into the paint, there was no one inside and there was a large gap. He could have taken a shot directly, but he still chose to drive to the basket.

At this time, there was only the opponent's inside player under the basket, 213cm Elton List, a blue-collar man with mediocre talent.

He was not afraid of the opponent's height, jumped up against the opponent, leaned against the opponent's body, and scored an acrobatic goal. "Uh-huh!"

With his trademark high-altitude operation, he scored the first goal. The fans at the scene were excited and cheered one after another.

Danzi seemed to use this pull-up layup to show the coaching staff and everyone that he was truly fully recovered.

Unfortunately, the opponent's player returned to the offensive end and responded with an easy shot.

Terry Cummings was in good form tonight, making 7 of 5 shots in the first quarter and scoring 11 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the first ball was also scored.

Backcourt star player Sidney Moncrieffe was also extremely efficient. He made 4 of 4 in the first quarter, including two three-pointers, and scored 10 points.

Because of the state of the two, head coach Don Nelson simply did not take them down and continued to let them on the court to deal with the comeback Danzi.

Danzi was not affected by Cummings' goal. He went to the basket with the next goal and continued to prove his health.
However, it is a pity that his forceful attack on Cummings was directly punished by the opponent.

Danzi, who encountered a strong blockage, was not discouraged. After landing, he jumped up forcefully, grabbed the frontcourt board, and then shot.

"Shh!"

Because of his extremely abnormal speed and bullet velocity, Cummings was ultimately unable to guard against him.

After succeeding, Danzi had a calm look on his face, turned his back to the backcourt and retreated slowly, looking calm and unworthy of mentioning.

Full of confidence!

Su Wen looked at this scene and grinned, "You come up so fiercely? Is there really no psychological shadow?"

Generally, people who have been seriously injured have more or less psychological shadows, fearing that they will be injured again or suffer secondary injuries.
After all, these are common occurrences.

Many players, after a serious injury, are forced to come back and get injured again, which ultimately affects their entire career.

For example, this is the case with Sam Bowie, who was in the same class as them.

When this person was seriously injured in his second year of college, if he had not made a forced comeback, he would not have suffered a second injury. After entering the league, he immediately eclipsed everyone and became the second most popular player.

The same goes for one of the Rockets' twin towers, Ralph Sampson, the No. 83 pick in .

It was also because he was forced to come back early after a serious injury, and then got injured a second time.
In addition to these two recent ones, there is also an All-Star player who could have become a super star in the future, but was injured twice due to forced comeback after a serious injury - Anfernee Hardaway.

Penny Hardaway is the guy who will be called 'Jordan's successor' by the media in the future.

After O'Neal traveled east, he led the team alone. After a serious injury, he only rested for a short period of time before being forced to come back at the request of the coaching staff, thus suffering a second injury.
Pence is like this, and so is Grant Hill, another 'Jordan successor'.
The misdeeds of the Magic's front office and coaching staff are too numerous to list.

On the other hand, Su Wen only smiled and was not worried about this guy's health.

After Jordan returned from a serious injury, until he retired for the second time, except for the battle with the flu, he had no other injuries and was always healthy. He was one of the few super giants who could have 95% attendance in the season.

But after he came back for the third time and went to the Wizards at the age of 39, it was completely different.

In other words, there is no need to worry about Danzi's health at this time, this guy is an iron man.

The game continues.

Danzi played very excitedly during this rotation. Whenever he got the chance, he attacked the basket and attacked the frame frequently.

In the 7 minutes he played, he took 6 shots and hit 3 of them.

Average status is better than being active.

Under his leadership, the Bulls were only 4 points behind at the end of the first half, maintaining an anxious state with the powerful Bucks.

But in the second half and third quarter, he once again sat on the sidelines.

The Bulls coaching staff is very cautious in using him, saying that he can only play during the rotation time, and the restrictions are quite strict.

Since it was his first game back, he had no objection to it and waited patiently on the sidelines.

The two sides played back and forth in the third quarter, and the Bulls never fell behind.

The only thing that made him frown was that another core member of the team, Comrade Ulrich, who had just come back and was put on the substitute list, was in extremely touching form tonight.

Even though he obviously had more playing time than him, he actually made 6 of 0 shots and couldn't score a single point.

F@#￥!
Seeing Ulrich's anxious performance on the court, as if the basket was blocked, Danzi was extremely unhappy.

Wouldn't it be better to give me his playing time?

The only thing that pleased him was that Charles Oakley, whom his team took with the ninth pick in the first round of this year's draft, was performing well as his future knife-wielding guard.

At this time, he had made 18 of 10 shots and scored 25 points and 19 rebounds.

The scary thing is that among these 19 rebounds, there were 12 offensive rebounds.
Because of his outstanding performance and excellent rebounding ability, the team can get more opportunities for second offense, and he is the hero who can always hold on to the point difference.

Look at the icemen George Gervin and Jayna Banks who replaced him. One made 11 of 4 shots and the other made 6 of 3 shots. Their performance was quite average.

It was not until the second half of the last quarter that Danzi got the chance to play again.

Perhaps seeing that the score difference has never been widened by the opponent and is always within 10 points, the coaching staff wants to take advantage of Danzi's powerful and vigorous attack power to give it a try.

After going up, Danzi still played with great energy, actively participated in the offense, and shot whenever he had the chance.
However, one minute before the end, when the Bulls were still chasing points, Danzi was actually substituted.

At this time, the score difference between the two sides was only 7 points.

With one minute to go, if he could have played to the end, he might have exploded and had a chance to catch up with the score or something, but Stan Albeck forced him to be replaced.

There is no other reason than that the playing time has been limited by the management and coaching staff.

He has just recovered and cannot play too much time due to protection.

Danzi didn't seem to have any objections. The moment he was replaced, he just frowned but didn't say a word and ended obediently.

In the end of this game, the Bucks still won them with a 9-point advantage.

125: 116.

Strange, this guy isn't angry?

Su Wen was surprised when he saw him silently walking into the tunnel with his teammates.

At such a critical moment of chasing points, with only one minute in the game, if you are substituted, which superstar will be replaced? If the coaching staff operates like this, their mentality will explode, right?
Danzi actually endured it
