Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 268 268. The Bad News Comes
Li Cha looked at Luo Xi's brisk footsteps, and felt very relaxed. It had been a long time since he enjoyed life.

Stretching, Li Cha came to the living room. If he can play games for a while at night, today will be complete.

Sitting slumped on the sofa, Li Cha turned on the game console, and glanced at the phone when it was on.

There was a message from Westbrook, "Man, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Li Cha's heart skipped a beat. Westbrook was taken away by the team doctor last night. Does this mean that the injury has worsened?But there is another good news, is there no need for surgery?

Li Cha started to worry at this moment, he didn't have the time to worry about the problem of the game console, so he quickly replied, "Let's tell the good news first."

It was an hour ago that Westbrook sent a message. At that time, I was having dinner so I didn't notice it. Can I still reply in time now, and should I call.

In the midst of anxiety, Westbrook's reply has come, so free?
"The good news is that we can continue to fight in the future, and there will be no major decline in athletic ability within two years."

What good news is this?

Although there is no beginning and no end, it can be clearly seen that the precondition is that Westbrook has undergone surgery!
Did you remove the meniscus?

This can't be bad news.

Li Cha tremblingly sent a message, "Surgery? Where is it?"

"Yes, it was picked. The operation performed by the team is now in the team hospital."

Li Cha grabbed the clothes that were thrown aside, put them on, and ran out.

"Rosie, I'm going to the hospital to see Westbrook."

As soon as the voice fell, he rushed out of the house.

Luo Xi heard the voice and walked out of the room, but Li Cha had disappeared.

"What happened?" Luo Xi could only talk to himself, today's happiness was diluted by faint worries.

Li Cha rushed out of the house and quickly called a taxi.

It was really troublesome not being able to drive my car back. The taxi came too slowly, and Li Cha was stamping anxiously on the side of the road. At this time, Westbrook had no reply. I don't know what happened.

Finally, Li Cha rushed to the team's hospital.

The team's medical level is very strong. Although the hospital is small, it has everything, especially for athletes' common injuries and surgeries.

The team members naturally knew Li Cha, so they pointed out the ward where Westbrook lived without asking.

Li Cha ran into the ward, and Westbrook was sitting on the bed teasing his almost one and a half year old son Noah.

Noah was walking unsteadily on the ground, looking very cute.

Looking at Westbrook again, there is no blood on his lips, and his black skin is a little pale. It is a strange state. The fatigue in his eyes is very obvious. I don't know if it is because of the operation or because he has unloaded the burden. The fatigue gushes out from his heart.

Why is this scene so tearful?

"Li, you're here." Nina greeted Li Cha when she saw Li Cha pushing the door.

Westbrook also turned his eyes away from Noah, "Come so fast?"

"What's going on?" Li Cha suppressed the tears back into his eyes.

"It's torn again. It should be the impact of the last landing. The team doctor checked and said that there is no possibility of recovery. Instead of being tossed by it all the time, it's better to pick it off and continue playing." Westbrook looked very calm, as if he was talking about something that wasn't his own.

Westbrook lifted the quilt to reveal his leg covered in plaster. He needed to be raised after the operation just now, and Westbrook could not be allowed to move his leg, so he simply covered it with plaster and directly imprisoned the entire leg.

Nina covered her mouth and nose with her hands, she didn't look at Westbrook anymore, and turned to look after the wobbly Noah.

Li Cha took a deep breath. The hit that hit the ground must have caused damage, but the hit that broke through for a dunk after being injured must have also aggravated the damage.

The team has just started to improve. Yesterday, even the Warriors were defeated. This year is really the best chance to win the championship. Even if Westbrook was injured before yesterday, Li Cha is confident that the three of them can work together to win the championship.

But at this time Westbrook had surgery!
"How long will it take to cultivate?"

"Depending on the recovery situation, four to six months." Westbrook tapped the plaster lightly by himself, making a crisp sound.

Still such a big operation!

In four months, they will be able to catch up with the All-Stars by February next year, and there are still about [-] games to come.

Six months will arrive in April next year, and that will be the playoffs, and the season will be reimbursed.

I didn't adapt to the regular season and went directly to the playoffs. I was plagued by injuries and basically couldn't get back my state.

"Recover well, the team will definitely wait for you to come back." Li Cha finally stepped into the ward and sat in front of Westbrook's bed.

"Just don't kill the team before I come back." Westbrook smiled.

But the smile is full of sadness.

The 30-year-old Westbrook is about to reach the end of his peak, but he must undergo such a major surgery at the end of his peak. After losing his knee, his athletic ability will be greatly reduced. Maybe he will be directly from a superstar to a player with a minimum salary. If he does not have an excellent shot, he may not even get a minimum salary.

Look at Rose, who was seriously injured when he was young, and in just a few years he was no longer needed by the team. If Li Cha hadn't known that Rose would still be famous in the future, he probably wouldn't have gone to him.

As for Westbrook's injury, it's out of touch with reality, and now Li Cha doesn't know how to deal with it.

Sitting in front of Westbrook's bed at this moment, Li Cha's mind was still blank.

"Don't worry, you and Paul will definitely be able to stand up to the team. I usually take up so much possession of the ball and you can both perform well. Now I'm cheering on you from the sidelines. You will definitely be able to lead the team better." In turn, Westbrook comforted Li Cha.

Li Cha forced a smile.

"By the way, did you tell Paul?" Li Cha then remembered to ask, did Westbrook tell the other players about this.

"No, I only talked to you alone. The team should inform everyone tomorrow."

Li Cha was stunned for a moment. For such an important matter, the team would definitely notify the team and would release the news to the outside world. But he was the first among the players to know about it, or Westbrook himself notified him. Why?
"Are you also confused why I will tell you alone?" Westbrook moved slightly.

Li Cha quickly stood up and wanted to help him, but was stopped by Westbrook waving his hand.

"I think you should know." Westbrook gestured for Li Cha to sit down.

Li Cha shook his head.

But I began to have a little idea in my heart. Without the boss, who would have no idea?
But this is my own idea, not the idea that Westbrook asked me to come, so I shook my head.

"In the past two years, your ability has improved rapidly, which is incomprehensible. You are a genius, not the most talented, nor the peak of your debut, but a struggling genius." Westbrook leaned on the back of the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

"Why does Kobe like you? He himself was a rookie and made almost no achievements in the first two years. He started to soar in the third year, all thanks to his hard training. Your journey is very similar to Kobe's. He saw his own shadow in you."

Li Cha was a little surprised. He always thought that his playing style was similar to the one he inherited from Kobe, so he attracted Kobe's attention. He didn't expect it to be the reason for this in the eyes of others, and he didn't seem to think that Kobe liked him.

Westbrook continued: "Now, Lee, you are already the strongest player on the team. Maybe you haven't realized that Paul and I are no longer your opponents. You will have to carry the banner of Oklahoma sooner or later. This time, I just brought this matter ahead of schedule."

Nina twitched slightly on the side.

"Li, I am very relieved that the team is in your hands. I have already told Billy about this. He has more issues to consider, but it can be seen that he also supports you."

Leave the team to me?Li Cha felt a little throbbing in his heart, he couldn't tell whether it was excitement, joy, or nervousness.

"Russell..."

Just as Li Cha opened his mouth, Westbrook interrupted him again.

"It doesn't matter if you are young. In the basketball world, strength is everything. With strength, you are the boss. If you can bring your teammates together, you are the leader."

Li Cha sighed, as if he was slumped on a stool. Although he thought about becoming the boss of a team sooner or later, he never expected to come in this way, and he had to face George with more seniority. This pressure that he hadn't thought about made Li Cha feel a little overwhelmed.

It may take time to digest.

"Don't worry, I haven't left yet. When I can come to the stadium, I will come to support you." Westbrook wanted to raise his hand to pat Li Cha's shoulder, but it was too far away, so he had to put it back on the bed again.

Li Cha thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, "Russell, whether it's the leader or the boss, you are the totem of Thunderclap right now. When you're not around, Paul and I will lead everyone to charge for victory, but I won't do anything outside the arena."

Since you don't know what to do for the time being, don't do anything, just win the game first.

The scorching eyes made Westbrook feel the firmness in Li Cha's heart, and Westbrook also showed a gratified smile at this time.

His eyes also became firmer.

"Li, come on! Fight hard."

"Yes, Russell, you have to work hard, heal your injury as soon as possible, and I will wait for you to come back with victory!"

The two held hands together, and under each other's strength, they both felt the desire in the other's heart.
