Cousins: Medicine has improved so much than when I broke the Achilles tendon. Tatum will return with full blood like KD

May 21 News Recently, former NBA player Cousins ​​participated in the "Run It Back" program and talked about Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured. Previously, Cousins ​​also suffered from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Cousins ​​said: "The most regrettable thing is seeing Jason Tatum withdraw from the Achilles tendon injury, especially at the end of the season, which means we won't see him next season. Apart from that, I, like most people, think this is the most complete team-starter five Tigers, the bench, and the top coaches, they have all the elements of a complete team. But the results of this season have completely exceeded expectations and everyone was shocked. But I still have to pay tribute to the Knicks, and I almost said that they performed very well - I have been criticized by Knicks fans recently. But seriously, the Knicks did what they should do, they hit. Losing a very, very strong Celtic team. This is the charm of sports. You see the dominant team being eliminated. Although it is unexpected, it is part of sports and the reason why we love it. "

Host: "You have experienced the Achilles tendon injury yourself. They immediately took him to New York for surgery, without wasting time, hoping to speed up the recovery process. What will Jason Tatum face in the next long years? "

Cousins: "This is a long process. The technology has improved a lot now compared to when I was injured. For example, Allen Rodgers returned in 6 months I used it for a year. I don’t know much about the medical methods now, but for me, it was an extremely long process, both physically and mentally. I basically had to lie in a cast in the first two months and couldn’t move at all. I remember that I couldn’t take a bath in the previous month and a half, so I could only wipe my body because I was afraid of wound infection. Many small things you could not imagine would bother you, such as taking a bath. There was a tough battle in front of Jason, but I believe he could overcome it and return with full blood. But this would indeed consume the body and mind. I wish him all the best. I will pray for him, but he does face challenges. "

"I am not worried about his injuries. The technology is advanced now than I was then Too many, and we have seen Durant still excel after recovering from injury. Tatum and he are the same type of players. But I am a big man, they are wings and defenders, and their size and weight are different. My weight is much heavier than Tatum and Durant, so the situation is different. In addition, which leg is also important - is it the main leg or the non-main leg? I was injured at that time, which had a greater impact on playing after I recovered. If he was injured by a non-main leg, he would probably still be strong after returning. There are many factors in recovering from injury, but overall, he is very young, which is an advantage, and I believe he can recover to his former level. "
