The way of the center

Chapter 478 The guy who only has basketball in his mind
"Xiao Wu, I don't care what method you use, whether you use your personal relationship with An Jie, in short, you must dig out all the news about his injury! Yes! It's hard work. No, he can't be uninjured Yes, just now you saw the team doctor bandaging his finger off the court. Well, go get busy, I’m waiting for your good news.” After the game, on the way to the media reception room, Wu Hua received the " The phone number of the editor-in-chief of the Sports Vanguard.Now the process and result of the game that just ended are not so important, and everyone's attention is on An Jie's shocking fingers.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Wu Hua actually doesn't want to make money from the news of An Jie's injury, and An Jie's injury is by no means "good news" for Chinese basketball.In fact, he really hoped that An Jie could appear at the press conference safe and sound.However, when all the Trail Blazers attended the press conference, people did not see the tall Chinese figure.

Iguodala, Lillard and Rickard sat on stage, and the three of them were surrounded by the Blazers' chief press officer.Undoubtedly, Anjie was absent.

"Coach George Ricard! May I ask if Ann played with an injury in the last quarter!?"

"How's Ann's injury!? Will he have an indefinite truce like LaMarcus Aldridge!?"

"Is Ann's finger broken or dislocated? We saw on the bench that Ann's finger couldn't even bend!"

In an instant, the media reception room exploded.But their problems were all focused on a person who did not appear here.

"Okay, please be quiet! Coach Ricard will tell you all the information he has in his hands." The chief press officer of the Trail Blazers had to increase the volume to restore order on the scene.

Ricard cleared his hoarse voice from directing the game, and put his head close to the microphone.

"Ann was seriously violated by Anthony Davis during an attack. At present, we can confirm that the middle finger and ring finger of An's left hand have been damaged to some extent, but as for whether there is any fracture, I will not tell you until further investigation. Answer. As for the fourth quarter, Ann did play with an injury. But I think this may be the reason why Ann is the hero of Portland.” Ricard said everything the reporters wanted to know in a few words , because this guy really wanted to end the press conference quickly so he could check on An Jie's situation.

"Mr. George Ricard, if An Jie's injury is not optimistic, will you let him play with an injury in the next game?" While others were still "digesting" the breaking news, Wu Hua stood still. Get up and ask questions.

"It depends on his specific injury situation and An Jie's own wishes." Rickard answered Wu Hua truthfully, but Wu Hua did not want An Jie to continue his journey with injuries.

If Anjie and Aldridge are both injured, the performance of the Trail Blazers will definitely be greatly affected.But if An Jie started to play with injuries at such a young age, for some reason, the name of the retired Yao Ming flashed through Wu Hua's mind.

After that, the process of the press conference seemed much smoother.The reporters asked some of Ricard's expected questions, such as how to evaluate Anthony Davis and how to view Lillard's complete victory against Davis.

Rickard answered these questions smoothly.Four or ten minutes later, the press conference was finally over, and Ricard also left the media reception room in a hurry, heading towards the hospital where An Jie was.

Ricard really doesn't like to wait for the elevator in the hospital. The elevator here will always arrive late when you are most anxious.Aldridge was still lying in the cardiology department, but he had to go to the orthopedics department to visit another star under him.

If God really ruined the Blazers with injuries again, Portland must be a cursed place.In that case, it would be better to let the Trail Blazers relocate.

"Boss, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Ann's result has come out. Let's go to the office to talk." Ricard just stepped out of the elevator when the chief team doctor of the Trail Blazers greeted him.

The two walked through the long corridor of the ward and entered the doctor's office.The doctors in the office were studying an X-ray film, and it was obvious that it was the result of An Jie's finger.

"How is it? There is no fracture, right?" Seeing that Anjie was able to complete the game in the fourth quarter and played well, he thought that the situation should not be too bad.

"Unfortunately, Coach Ricard, Ann has a slight fracture of his left middle finger and ring finger. Although it is a slight fracture, it is still a fracture. His bones have been damaged, and I think he has to truce." A doctor from The crowd came out and answered Ricard's question.

"Damn it!" Ricard swore as he turned around, and at that moment he hardly believed in God anymore.

"I can't imagine how Ann survived the fourth quarter. If he continues to play basketball with a broken bone, the pain on his body is self-evident. But I don't advocate such things as playing with injuries." The doctor said holding After showing the X-ray film, he explained Anjie's fracture in detail to Ricard in front of the light bulb.

"I said, I won't be hospitalized, let alone a truce! I'll go talk to the doctor, don't stop me." At this moment, loud shouts came from the door of the doctor's office.The next second, the door of the office was opened, and a tall guy walked in bending over.It's Anjie.

"Boss, they said they want me to be hospitalized for a truce because of a few fingers. You tell them, it's impossible! If my lower limbs are injured and I can't run, then truce treatment is nothing to do. But just two fingers, It won't affect my competitive level at all!" An Jie said, waving his left hand, his two fingers had been wrapped into "zongzi" by the doctors.

"Listen to Mr. An, I know how you athletes feel! But if your fingers are injured twice on the court, or if it takes too long without systematic and effective treatment, I can't guarantee that your two fingers will You can still move freely! If the situation is bad, these two fingers will even be like the chopsticks you Chinese people use to eat, and they cannot be bent!" The doctor who was discussing the X-ray with Ricard just now turned to An Jie with righteous words.

"What does that matter? If I don't play basketball, what's the use of my two nimble fingers?" An Jie replied angrily.

"Childish! You are not even 25 years old now, and your life has just begun. There are many things in your life besides basketball! When you are 40, 50 years old, can you still play basketball!? Do you hope that by then , have you become an old man who can't even hold on to things!?" The doctor retorted not to be outdone.It can only be said that athletes and doctors have different perspectives on injuries.

The next second, An Jie was silent.

"If there is a truce, how long will it take?" Ricard's question broke the deadlock.

"At least one and a half months, it has to be very, very good." The doctor replied bluntly, he didn't intend to give Ricard too much optimistic news.

"One and a half months." Ricard was also speechless for a moment, and he certainly hoped that Anjie could rest in peace.But one and a half months is too long, and the actual time must be more than one and a half months.

"Ann, you'd better recover from your injuries. Let's fight slowly in the playoffs." Ricard and the doctor finally set their sights on An Jie who had the decision-making power.

"Doctor, if I want to continue playing with the injury, is there such a possibility?"

"Yes, we can put bandages on your fingers, but you will be in a lot of pain during the game, and you can hardly move those two fingers. And, if you do that, your treatment will definitely be delayed. I strongly discourage this practice because”

"Then let's do it like this, doctor." Before the doctor could speak, An Jie smiled and accepted the plan.

"What!? Don't tell me the fourth quarter of today's game, you're not hurting!?" The doctor looked at An Jie in disbelief.

"The pain is a bit painful, but I don't think it has a big impact on my playing. You said that I can still play in this situation."

"Your fingers will deform and become extremely ugly. The flexibility of your fingers will decrease, and you can't even bend them freely. Have you considered all these?" It seems that the doctors in this hospital don't know how stubborn An Jie is.

"I am willing to bear all the consequences. Now, I just want you to help me play."

"I have to discuss it with your team doctor." After the doctor finished speaking, he waved An Jie and Ricard to wait outside first.

"Damn it, why are young people nowadays so stubborn!" An Jie had just walked out of the office and closed the door when he heard the doctor yelling.An Jie knew that this doctor was also thinking about his own health, and he also had good intentions.But now, An Jie is willing to give everything in order to play, even if it means overdrawing his health.

"I don't want to be the destroyer of your life." Ricard needed Anjie very much, but he was very sorry to let Anjie play with injuries.

"Don't worry boss, this is my own decision." An Jie looked at his two painful fingers and clenched his teeth!
More than ten minutes later, the chief team doctor of the Trail Blazers and An Jie's attending doctor walked out of the office. It seemed that the two guys had reached an agreement.

"Remember to come to me to wrap the bandages before training and games." The chief team doctor patted An Jie on the shoulder, and An Jie immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Thank you, doctor!" An Jie stood up happily and shook hands with his attending physician.

"Don't thank me, this is not in line with medical ethics. If I do this, it will only cause you to suffer greater harm." The doctor felt very guilty.

"You gave me, and Portland, a chance by doing this."

"Basketball, you guys only think about basketball." The doctor returned to the office cursing. There are still many patients who need his help. 
"Let's go boss, let's take a look at LaMarcus first. Then go back to rest and prepare for the next game." An Jie feels that he is relaxed now. At least this season, he will not truce due to injuries up.

The marathon to win the championship is destined to be uneven
