[外電] Iverson still plagued by hamstring
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Allen Iverson vows to take the advice of others
instead of listening to his body.
That means the 10-time All-Star could miss Memphis' season opener Wednesday
against his former team, Detroit, as he recovers from a partly torn left
hamstring.
While upbeat and pain-free after a workout before sitting out the Grizzlies'
exhibition finale Friday against Charlotte, Iverson indicated there's a good
chance the Grizzlies' medical staff won't clear him for the opener because of
fears he's not completely healed.
"They're saying it's a possibility, but it's also a long shot," Iverson said
on playing against the Pistons. "You know that's one of the ones I definitely
want to play."
Iverson said he won't be out long, however, as his rehab progresses well from
the injury suffered in a scrimmage Oct. 4. While he sat out all eight
exhibition games, he started more involved workouts this week. After not
traveling with the team to Miami, he joined the club in Charlotte Thursday
night.
Iverson said he feels great, has no pain in his leg and can run and cut
without trouble. But he also said he's going to listen to the advice of
others because the 34-year-old has never had this injury.
"I guess for one time in my life when it comes to my body, I'll listen to
somebody else," Iverson said. "Usually I go off of my instincts. This time,
I'll make sure I listen to the professionals."
Iverson said he feared his hamstring would pop because it was tight for
several days in training camp.
"I honestly told my wife that my hamstring has never been this tight before,"
Iverson said. "I was going through practices and it would never loosen up.
... I was saying that it feels like it would pop any minute. And sure enough,
I was driving and I tried to change direction. As soon as I planted down to
cut the other way I couldn't hear it, but I could feel it, pop. And I knew
something was wrong."
Iverson said because of the layoff he's yet to learn all the Grizzlies'
plays, the system, and the tendencies of his teammates. After an ugly
departure from Detroit after last season, he had little interest from the
free-agent market before agreeing to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the
Grizzlies in September.
Iverson will be asked to fit in with a young core led by Rudy Gay and O.J.
Mayo.
"I'm usually getting treatment during practice time and they're out there
running plays. But once I get back into practice and just watching the plays
for a couple days, I'll pick it up like that," Iverson said. "But as far as
styles and everything, I just know how to adjust.
"I think my job with this team is making guys better, putting pressure on
defenses. Causing a lot of ruckus as far as guys having to pay a lot of
attention to me and getting other guys easy looks."
The former league MVP who's scored more than 23,000 points feels he's got
something left- and will prove it once the training staff lets him.
"I feel 100 percent, but they've been telling me with this injury, that's the
way it is," Iverson said. "You feel well and then you go out there and try to
take it fifth gear and it can tear again. That's my whole dilemma right now,
but I feel good."
主要還是AI可能缺席開幕戰對老東家活塞
另外就是傷似乎好的差不多???
只是這個傷過去從沒在他的傷痛史出現
而且他認為自己已經34歲了(哭哭)
更應該尊重專業給他的建議
所以可能選擇等到傷痛完全好才會上場?
不是很好的英文翻出來的大意XD~
有錯請不吝賜教,謝謝
