The way of the center

Chapter 813 A City on the Shoulders of Giants

After the game ended and the western championship awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion, Anjie did not go home with Catherine and her son.After calling a taxi for them, Anjie and Ricard rushed to the hospital without stopping.

The crazy celebrations are over, and the award ceremony for the Western Conference champions has also successfully concluded.Rushing out of the west, this matter has become a thing of the past.

At this moment, the most important thing for the Trail Blazers is not the long-lost Western Conference championship, nor is it Anjie's legendary lore, but Paul George's injury situation.

Ainge could win the game by himself under pressure in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, but what if George missed not just a few minutes but the entire game?At that time, the result will be hard to say.

Therefore, whether George can play in the finals is a question that directly affects the ownership of the championship.After all, if both George and Lillard are injured, it will not be easy for Anjie to fight the Cavaliers.On the Cavaliers' side, there are a bunch of stars watching An Jie covetously.

When An Jie and Ricard walked into the hospital hall side by side, they realized that the place had already been surrounded by reporters.Seeing these two conspicuous guys come in, the reporters immediately turned their focus and extended their microphones to An Jie and Ricard.

"Congratulations to you coach Ricard, but is George's injury optimistic?"

"After reaching the finals, how much impact will George's absence have on the team?"

"Hello, Ann, do you think Drummond Green's actions were intentional?"

The reporters asked questions in an unorganized manner, and the entire hospital hall became noisier.

Angie and Ricard waved at the reporters' cameras as they made their way through the crowd with the help of hospital security.It's not that An Jie and Ricard don't want to answer questions, but what the reporters want to know, which is exactly what An Jie and Ricard are eager to know now.

After going through untold hardships, Anjie and Ricard finally squeezed into the elevator.A group of reporters was about to rush into the elevator. Fortunately, the hospital security guards surrounded the elevator in time, and the elevator went up smoothly.

In the small space of the elevator, there were only An Jie and Ricard.Neither of these two guys spoke, and the air was chillingly quiet.

"You said. If George can't play in the finals." An Jie still can't forget the terrible twisted angle of George's ankle. If George can come back soon, An Jie will definitely not believe it.He can only pray now that this guy can come back sooner.

"I hope this thing will never happen, but if it happens... we will always have a solution, won't we?" Ricard squeezed a smile at Anjie, although he just won the Western Conference championship, but because George Ricard was really not happy about his injury.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a nurse who seemed to have been waiting here brought the two of them into George's single ward without asking any questions.

"It came so soon? I thought you guys were still celebrating wildly in the locker room! You did a great job, Ann, I couldn't breathe the moment you made the kill!" Seeing Anjie and Ricard walk in the door Come on, George looked very excited.

Although in the hospital, George watched the whole process of the game live on TV.When he left the court, An Jie told him that he would definitely reach the finals.It was precisely because of this sentence that George was willing to leave the court.As a result, An Jie really did it.

Perhaps, this is why An Jie always wins the hearts of the people.This guy not only motivates his teammates with words, but he is definitely a giant in action.

"Without you and Damien, what is there to celebrate for this Western Conference champion? How is it? Does it still hurt?" Seeing that George was so happy, An Jie thought that the injury might not be serious.

But when it came to the ankle, An Jie found that George's expression was obviously depressed.Ricard and An Jie were waiting for George's reply, at this moment, the doctor walked in.

"I'm sorry coach, I was too busy just now. Regarding George's injury, I have already told him himself just now. I think you will be interested in hearing me say it again." The Trail Blazers player said in Porter Lan is a city that is very popular wherever you go. Hearing that An Jie and Ricard had come to the hospital, George's doctor in charge hurried over.

"George, is he okay in the finals?" An Jie didn't beat around the bush, he hoped that the stone in his heart could fall down sooner.

The doctor didn't answer directly, but took a deep breath.At that moment, An Jie knew it was over!

"George's injury is not serious, but I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the imminent finals." It took a lot of courage for the doctor to say this in front of Ricard and An Jie.

"Oh, God!" Ricard immediately supported his forehead, not hiding his disappointment at all.

"What kind of injury is it?" An Jie kept his composure and continued to ask.

"It's similar to Damien's, but much lighter. The ankle has a slight structural injury. It will take at least a month to return to the court." The doctor took out the film and explained to An Jie.

A month's absence is not considered long at any time.If this is still playing the regular season, a one-month absence will only make George miss more than a dozen games.But on the eve of the finals, one month's time means reimbursement for the season.Because no matter how the Blazers and Cavaliers play, the season will be over a month later.

"Can I play with an injury?" George did not become depressed, but actively looked for any possibility.

"You're not only hurting the bones, but also the tendons in the ankles are injured to varying degrees. Closing needles can't solve the problem, not even temporary relief." The doctor knows what George means, and many athletes will get through the sealing needles Ways to relieve pain and play with injuries.But this method does not apply to George.

"I know how important the finals are to you, George. If I had a way, I would have used it long ago. I'm sorry, gentlemen, George, I can't attend the finals." After the doctor finished speaking, Chong remained silent. The three nodded and left the ward.

Ricard, Anjie, and George didn't know what to say for a while. George was so excited just because he saw the team win the Western Conference championship, saw Anjie complete an incredible lore, and saw the team Successfully reached the finals.But this does not mean that George is optimistic about his injury.

"I finally got a chance to play in the finals. I really fucking hate my foot." George raised his head slowly, his eyes moist.

"Bullshit!" Suddenly, An Jie yelled and punched the wall.

"Not only this year, but next season, the next season, and the next season, we will also reach the finals! Not only to reach the finals, we also want to win the championship! You have worked hard for a season George, do you think that only the winners of the finals win the championship? Everything before entering the finals is also part of the championship! Your efforts have helped us send the team to the gate of the finals, and have helped us reach the finals. I met the champion. Next, give me your dream, and I will take the last step for you, and get back the damn O'Brien Cup!" An Jie clenched his fists, and he had already reached the O'Brien Cup In front of you, how can you fall down because of an injury!
If someone else had said those beautiful words, George might have ignored them.But An Jie is different, this guy never promises what he can't do.

"Okay, George, don't worry. I promise you, I will make it to the finals!" George has not forgotten that a few hours ago, when he was struggling in his heart, it was An Jie who suddenly patted himself on the shoulder and let himself calmed down.And the facts have proved that An Jie has indeed fulfilled his promise.

Now, An Jie said something similar again, George has no reason to question his idol.

He knew that Anjie was a great player.A great player who is best at doing great things.

"I can only help the team here, please, we must win!" George said, stretched out his left hand, and fist bumped Anjie.

After that, the three of them chatted for a while in the ward. During this period, George talked and laughed. This guy really put his hopes on An Jie.George doesn't want to be depressed. After all, the Trail Blazers have just reached the finals. This is a night worth being happy.

Later, Ricard and Angie had to go home.An Jie didn't come by car, so he called a taxi to go back.

On the way back, the sights of the city of Portland flashed before An Jie's eyes one by one.Before I knew it, I had lived in this city for so many years.And the City of Roses has undergone tremendous changes because of An Jie's arrival.

"How is George's injury?" At a traffic light intersection, the driver who stopped the car finally couldn't help asking.

"No, I can't make it to the finals." An Jie didn't hide the truth, anyway, the Trail Blazers will officially announce the news tomorrow morning.

"Hey, what a pity for that kid." The driver shook his head and adjusted the rearview mirror to observe An Jie's expression.

"However, we can still win, right? You will carry this city on your back, I know you will." An Jie may not know that his image as a hero of Portland has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. in the hearts of every citizen.He is the spiritual leader of the whole city. As long as he is there, even if the team falls behind 3-0, the fans know there is still hope.

The car started again, and An Jie looked out the window again.The night view of Portland is so beautiful
"We made it to the finals at a great price just to win!" An Jie replied firmly, from now on, an entire city will stand on the shoulders of giants!
