Rose: Duncan injury 'blessing in disguise'

[Babyface(보영짱!!)]

스퍼스의 어시스턴트 트레이너 Joe Gutzwiller는 던컨의 발목 부기를 빼기를 했다고 합니다. 곧 있으면 수영장에서 훈련을 시작할 거라고 하는군요.

로즈 (ㅠㅠ)는 아직도 스퍼스에서의 자신을 잊지 못 하고 있다고 하는군요. 좀 더 시간이 지나야만 스퍼스에서의 모습을 잊고, 진정한 뉴욕의 선수가 될 수 있을 거라고 하네요.


데빈 브라운이 등 부상이 있다고 합니다. (아, 정말 마가 낀다.)
지난 디트로이트와의 경기가 있기 전 연습에서 원 드리블 후 펌프 페이크를 쓰는데, 갑자기 바삭(-_-;)한 소리가 들렸다고 합니다.


"A guy like me, you don't how much time you're going to get, so you can't have injuries."
어떻게 해석을 해야 하나요.-_-; 나 같은 인간은 아파서도 안 된다란 뜻인가요-_-? 만약에 그렇다면, 예전 두산 베어스의 김민호 선수가 생각 나네요. 등 부상이 있음에도, 한 번 떨어지면 다시 올라오기 힘들다란 이유로 혹사를 했다가 이름을 감춰버린...-_-;;

NEW YORK — Tim Duncan spent the first of what figures to be several days of rehab by staying off his feet.

Spurs assistant trainer Joe Gutzwiller worked to reduce the swelling in Duncan's right ankle and improve his range of motion. Duncan probably will begin exercising in a pool Wednesday.

"He's a very intelligent person, so he knows that all that matters now is what he does rehab wise," coach Gregg Popovich said. "He's full-bore just talking about what he has to do in the pool and what he has to do to take the weight off of it and get the treatment he needs.

"He's disappointed because he was starting to get on a roll. He knows that's over with, and he has to start over. He sort of changed gears and gotten into rehab mode."

Malik Rose said Duncan seemed in pretty good spirits, in spite of his condition, when he talked with him Sunday night.

"He sounded confident," Rose said. "I think it might be a blessing in disguise. Now he'll probably be even more rested when he comes back."

Welcome back: Rose began his evening trying to calm his nerves. He ended it with a hug from Popovich following New York's 88-75 victory at Madison Square Garden.

"There were a lot of emotions going on in the beginning of the game," Rose said. "All day I was sitting around and couldn't get a good nap."

Almost a month after the Spurs traded him to New York, Rose said he's getting over the pain of leaving his friends and family.

"Time heals all wounds," Rose said. "It hasn't totally eradicated the sense of loss I felt, but definitely I've grown. I feel a lot better now. At first, I was wrecked.

"I have to have time for my old San Antonio identity to end and my new New York identity to begin."

Though Rose struggled with his shot, he finished with 18 points. He and Popovich embraced as they left the court.

"He was out there working 100 percent just like he always does," Popovich said. "That will never change."

Brown ailing: Devin Brown had to briefly leave Monday's loss because of back pain. He was still considerably sore after the game.

Brown injured his back while warming up before Sunday's 110-101 loss in Detroit.

"I just made a pump fake on a one-dribble move, and I heard a (crunching) sound," Brown said.

"A guy like me, you don't how much time you're going to get, so you can't have injuries."

Firing line: Popovich has the second-longest tenure among NBA coaches, but that hasn't stopped him from wondering about the stability of his chosen profession.

Cleveland became the ninth team to make a coaching change this season when it fired Paul Silas.

Silas and Orlando's Johnny Davis, who was fired last week, were let go with their respective teams holding playoff seeds. Dallas also promoted Avery Johnson to head coach Saturday after Don Nelson resigned.

"Maybe the business is even more volatile than I thought," Popovich said. "Today, coach Silas is just as smart as he was last year or two weeks ago."

브라운이 말한 요지는 입지를 크게 확보하지 못한 벤치 요원의 설움이랄까. 부상 등으로 경기에서 소외된다면 플레잉 타임을 얻기에 확실하지 않은 처지. 그렇지만 브라운은 이제 스퍼스의 키 식스맨으로 인정받은 것 같은데, 무리하지 않았으면 하는군요.
