The truth is revealed! The reason for Halliburton s injury! It could have been avoided!

Everyone knows that the finals have come to an end.

The most tragic moment in the tiebreak battle was Halliburton's injury. In just 7 minutes of playing, the Pacers' star fell to the ground without any confrontation during a breakthrough, then beat the floor angrily and shed tears on the field.

Although the official news did not come out until a day after the tiebreak, judging from the injury at that time, many fans have guessed that Halliburton had an Achilles tendon injury. There is no need to say much about the severity of the Achilles tendon injury. Only Wilkins and Durant have maintained their level before the injury in history.

The majority of the reasons for this happen are fatigue or injury accumulation, and Halliburton this time is no exception.

Previously, in the first half of G5, Halliburton fell to the ground in a breakthrough and his right calf was obviously strained. At that time, he briefly returned to the locker room, but soon returned to the court.

G6 started, Halliburton suffered a right calf strain and he will undergo an MRI test to determine the severity of the strain and whether he can play in the G6.

Shams' report at the time: Halliburton wanted to play in the G6, and he would play as long as he could walk, but the Pacers would evaluate his injury before the game and then make a decision. I was told Halliburton would be out for weeks if it was the regular season today.

and, comments by Brian Sutterer MD, MD, Sports Medicine, before the start of the G6: You can't overcome the lack of strength and function by just willpower, it's not a question of toughness, his muscles are torn and can't work properly, I expect Halliburton's playing time to be severely limited, and I would be surprised if he could stick to the full game.

We know what happened later, Halliburton did play in the life and death battle in G6, and he played well. He only played 23 minutes and scored 14 points, 5 assists and 2 steals, and led the Pacers to a tiebreaker.

The joy of victory makes people ignore the severity of Halliburton's injury. At the same time, for the championship, Halliburton also insists on continuing to play in the tiebreak with injuries. In order to alleviate the pain caused by muscle tear, Halliburton chose a last resort - to get a closed injection.

After Halliburton was injured, his father confirmed this in an interview: "His calf has always been in a very fragile state, but because of the closed injection, he couldn't feel the pain at all. Then, if he didn't do a good job of a movement, his injury worsened. It was true. I knew it was the moment he fell to the ground. I was too clear. It was definitely the Achilles tendon. If you listen carefully to the video replay, you can even hear the cracking sound."

Halliburton's father also explained the principle of the closed injection: " When you anesthetize the injury, it means you will do some actions you think you can do, but the injury has long existed and the hidden danger has been buried. The anesthesia just makes you mistakenly think that you can overcome it. But when the hidden danger really exists, you can't receive the warning signal from your body. When the disaster comes, everything will be too late. "

It is worth mentioning that before the G6 game, someone actually reminded Halliburton of the risk of injury. ESPN commentator Perkins publicly advised Halliburton not to play in the show.

Perkins also quoted the example of Durant in 19: "I think Halliburton shouldn't play this game. When Durant suffered a calf strain before, I told him in person that you shouldn't play, and then what did he do? Brother, his Achilles tendon broke." Although Perkins usually talks crazy, this time it's true that Halliburton and Durant's situation is indeed a bit similar. Both of them forced to come back or play with calf strain, and then they both paid the price for their choice.

Even the two of them were in a bit similar situation before they were injured. They both started in a hot state, made three three-pointers, and then suffered an Achilles tendon injury.

only talked about Halliburton. After undergoing the operation, Harry posted a long article on social media, in which he wrote: "Now, despite the torn Achilles tendon, I don't regret it. For the sake of this city and my brothers, and for the sake of achieving an extraordinary career, I am willing to fight again, fight again and again."

Halliburton's willpower is admirable. His unwilling tears will not be ridiculed, but will only be remembered as a hero. But objectively speaking, is the closed needle that bets on life worth it? I think everyone has a different opinion.

The good thing is that Halliburton is only 25 years old now. Look at Durant. With the advancement of medical technology, there is reason to believe that he can still return to his previous level. I hope he will recover as soon as possible and continue to use magic in the future. I also hope that this time I can sound the alarm for the players again, and I will continue to play with injuries. I really need to think twice.
