Stress fractures are incomplete fractures caused by "unpredictable or repeated stress" resulting in stress collapse of the bone.

This fracture does not occur suddenly like a common fracture, but is caused by long-term and repeated injuries.

The bones themselves have certain self-repair and reconstruction capabilities, but if the pressure is outside this ability, damage will occur when the bones are weak.

Each individual injury will not cause a fracture, but if the damage that is not repaired accumulates to a certain extent, stress fractures will occur.

Therefore, stress fractures are also called fatigue fractures.

Yao Ming was injured this time, the left leg snail bone was found. Examination showed that there were many cracks on the left foot snail bone, one of which was cracked and turned into a thin slit.

The crack turns into a crack, and this day is destined to come, either this one or that one.

The best treatment for stress fractures is conservative treatment, that is, rest, so that the injured area can slowly heal.

But it was less than 6 months since the opening of the Olympic Games in August. In order to prepare for the Olympics, Yao Ming chose surgical treatment and used steel nails to fix the fracture area.

Even so, the recovery time of surgical treatment usually takes at least half a year.

Note that this is the minimum recovery time required by the bone.

After experiencing such a serious injury, not only does the bones need to be recovered, but they cannot train for half a year, but they also have to recover their exercise status through a series of activities such as training, warm-up competitions, etc.

And the time left for Yao Yao is far from enough.

Can Yao Ming catch up with the Olympics in time?

How is your condition after catching up with the Olympics?

These are all questions.

Then another bad news was received in China, and Yi Jianlian also fell down in the game against the Pacers due to a knee injury.

In addition, the previous news that Wang Zhizhi had postponed surgery to remove bone spurs due to preparations for the Olympics.

The three inside players that the national team is proud of are already injured.

The Olympic Games with the most hope of breaking through historical results, and the Olympic Games held at home, seem to be ruined by injuries.

For a time, public opinion supporting Li Rong to return to China to participate in the war once again gained the upper hand.

The men's basketball team held its second press conference since the training camp on March 7.

Head coach Yunas said he would be prepared for both actions, including playing for one Olympic Games without Yao Ming.

The media at the scene was in an uproar. Judging from what the words were said, it seemed that the men's basketball team had already given up on this Olympics.

Everyone remembered Zhao Ruirui, the head of the women's volleyball team in the last Olympics.

Before the Athens Olympics, Zhao Ruirui, who was training with women's volleyball team members in Zhangzhou, Fujian, was injured in a jump and blocking the net during training. She was later diagnosed with a fatigue fracture.

Later, the Athens Olympics opened, Zhao Ruirui, who had recovered after only 14 days, appeared. After only two minutes, Zhao Ruirui suffered a stress fracture again when she hit the ground with a "back fly" move.

Since then, Zhao Ruirui's stress fracture has undergone a long recovery period and has undergone several surgeries, and finally completed her comeback at the beginning of the year.

But at this time, 14 days have passed since her last appearance in the game.

"Li Rong has expressed his willingness to play for the country. Is it possible for the men's basketball team to add him to the Olympic roster?"

In response to the reporter's question, Yunas looked a little embarrassed and said for a long time: "This matter is under discussion, but because Li Rong is of American nationality, there has never been a precedent for recruiting foreign players in the national team. If he wants to participate in the Olympics, he must give up his current nationality and re-join Chinese."

Yunas's words are considered to be a signal released by the national team. Before the Timberwolves' away game challenging the Kings, Li Rong was asked about this matter in an interview with a domestic reporter.

In fact, when he and Yao Ming met with the All-Stars and talked about the possibility of fighting for the country, Yao Ming vaguely told him that China is one of the countries that does not accept dual nationality.

Li Rong was already mentally prepared for this matter.

Give up American nationality seems to be a difficult thing for ordinary people, but it is not a problem for the world's top athletes like him.

Even if he gives up his current American nationality, it will not affect his future league exhibitions. Just like other international players, he can apply for a green card.

Except for the lack of suffrage, other aspects enjoy the same benefits and benefits as American citizens.

"I'd better reiterate that, as long as the national team needs it, I can fight for the country at any time."

It seems to be to prove that he is capable of joining the national team. In this game, Li Rong scored 42 points efficiently against Artest's injured Kings. While breaking through the rookie wall, he also gave more confidence to the outside world who support him in the Olympics.

Li Rong's words before the game were quickly responded by the national team, saying that he was actively communicating with all parties so that he could help him return to China to participate in the battle as soon as possible.

Yao Ming's fall put unlimited pressure on the national team, although Yao Ming has expressed his positive return.

But no one knows how he will be after his forced comeback. If he suddenly falls like Zhao Ruirui, the men's basketball team will face the double pressure of record and public opinion.

The time left for Yao Ming is too short, and the time left for the men's basketball team is too short.

In April, the men's basketball lottery results were released, and the Chinese team was assigned to the death group.

The United States, Spain, and Angola are three opponents in the same group that can be identified, and the remaining two opponents will be generated from the European division.

There are no weak teams in Europe, which is something that everyone understands. In the entire group, except Angola in Africa, there is no confidence in winning against the rest of the opponents China.

Faced with Yao Ming's unknown state, the men's basketball team seemed to be difficult to win even the quarterfinals of qualifying in a group.

However, good news came from the country that Li Rongweiguo's participation in the war has been approved.

Under heavy pressure, it seems that all domestic forces have quickly compromised on this matter.

Reported to the Chief of the Olympics, the Chief of the Chief only approved four words: "Special matters are handled."

The departments that received the order quickly launched an action, on the one hand, applying to the FIBA ​​to naturalize Li Rong, and on the other hand, they sent personnel to the United States to actively communicate with Li Rong.

There were originally clear standards for naturalized players in the international community, and they had to join a certain nationality before they could participate in the national team of this country after a certain period of time.

However, in 1996, the United States took the lead in breaking this rule. At that time, the "Big Dream" Hakim Olajuwon was a Nigerian native and had previously represented the Nigerian national team in international competitions.

However, after the operation of the American men's basketball team, Olajuwon was able to successfully put on the Dream Team's jersey.

Since then, this FIBA ​​rule has been invalidated and this rule has been called the "Olajuwon Rule".

At the 2ooo Sydney Olympics, the South Korean team broke the time limit for nationality and planned a large number of foreign athletes to participate in the competition a few months before the opening of the Olympics.

Therefore, according to international practice, Li Rong's battle for the country was not difficult at all.
Chapter completed!
