Today, Durant talked about the process of recovering from a major Achilles tendon injury in James and Nash's podcast "Mind the Game". Combined with his recovery experience, he talked about advice for Lillard and Tatum.

He said: "Even after I recover and come back, the work you need to do is still huge to ensure the condition. I also have to insist on rehabilitation treatment. When I have already played again, I still have to do something from the recovery stage. So, this will be, the way you play, your physical condition will definitely change, because I am also talking to everyone about Lillard, who shot a lot of that kind of 3-pointer. When you tear the Achilles tendon, the muscles in your calf will shrink severely and become almost nothing. All. You need to rest for about three months and be completely unable to move your calf muscles. Because if you look at my present—I really hope to show you—my right calf is now a little smaller than the left. But that's just because I didn't use it at all for three or four months. That leg was completely out of work at the time and was completely ineffective. So during the recovery process, most of the work was to rejuvenate and get stronger. You have to get the muscle back and get it even more than before the injury "

" So I think that for both of them, the adjustments they face after returning will be: both of them took a lot of difficult three-pointers to withdraw from the ground, and I think this is a challenge. And I often shot that type of ball before being injured. You know, after that injury, I fine-tuned my game style, appropriately reduced this type of action, and turned to alternative actions such as lateral step retraction. The reason is not that those movements are not good, but that my right leg has not really recovered enough to support me in doing those The level of strength of intense movements. So, players who recover from an Achilles tendon injury will go through this type of adaptation period, which is the strength to rebuild the leg muscles. Once you regain your confidence, like me, I am the type of person who immediately puts himself in the game after healing, and once I feel like I can play, I start the game immediately, you know! So as long as they can also devote themselves to the court, man, these two guys will surely be fine. I can't wait to see them return strongly.
