Calvin is thoroughly familiar with the team's health status.
In his view, this year is the worst situation for the Trail Blazers.
Even worse than in 1988, when there were also many injuries, but back then, everyone was still young.
Porter was 24, Curry 23, and Ah Gan was only 24. A minor injury, some rest and treatment, and they would recover quickly.
Now everyone is nearing 30, and although the medical and training conditions in the 80s and 90s are better than in the 70s, they have their limits.
Many players start to noticeably decline around the age of 28, injuries increase, and just after turning 30, they have to retire and leave the court.
Especially some of the old injuries from the past, which were left over from high school and college games, when the conditions in schools were even worse.
Gan Guoyang lay on the bed, asking Calvin to relax his back more, as it inevitably tensed up after a match.
