The Way of the Center - Chapter 837
After the game ended and the Western Conference championship award ceremony ended successfully, Anjie did not go home with Catherine and his son. After calling a taxi for them, Anjie and Ricard rushed to the hospital without stopping.
The crazy celebration has ended, and the award ceremony for the Western Conference champions has also ended smoothly. 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 champion, nor An Jie’s legendary lore, but Paul George’s injury.
An Jie can win the game alone in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, but what if George is absent not for a few minutes but for the entire game? When the time comes, 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 champion. 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 looking at An Jie eagerly.
When Anjie and Ricard walked into the hospital lobby side by side, they discovered that this place had been surrounded by reporters. Seeing these two conspicuous guys coming in, the reporters immediately turned their focus and extended the microphones to Angel and Ricard.
“Congratulations, 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 deliberate?”
The reporters asked unorganized questions, and the whole hospital lobby became more noisy.
Anjie and Ricard walked through the crowd with the help of the hospital security, while waving at the reporters’ cameras. This is not that Anjie and Ricard do not want to answer questions, but what the reporters want to know. It is precisely what Anjie and Ricard want to know now.
After many 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 a wall in time to allow the elevator to rise smoothly.
In the narrow space of the elevator, there were only two of Anjie and Ricard. Neither of these two guys spoke, and the air was quiet and chilling.
“You said… if George can’t play in the finals…” An Jie can’t forget the terrible twisted angle of George’s ankle until now. If George can come back soon, An Jie will definitely not believe it. of. 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 way, don’t we?” Ricard squeezed a smile at Anjie, even though he had just won the Western Conference. Champion, but because of George’s injury, Ricard is really unhappy.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a nurse who seemed to have been waiting here took the two into George’s single ward without asking anything.
“Come here so soon? I thought you were celebrating crazy in the dressing room now! What a beautiful job, Ann, I almost couldn’t breathe the moment you killed me!” Seeing Anjie and Ricard enter the door When he came, George looked very excited.
Although he was in the hospital, George watched the entire game through live TV. When leaving the court, Anjie told him that he would definitely reach the finals. It is precisely because of this sentence that George was willing to leave the court. As a result, An Jie, he really did it.
Perhaps this is why An Jie always wins people’s hearts. This guy will not only use words to inspire his teammates, but in action, he is definitely a giant who does his part.
“Without you and Damien, what can you celebrate for this Western Conference champion? How about it, does it still hurt?” Anjie saw George so happy, thinking that the sadness might not be serious.
But when he talked about ankles, An Jie noticed that George’s expression was obviously depressed. Ricard and Anjie were waiting for George’s reply, and at this moment, the doctor walked in.
“Sorry coach, I was too busy just now. I told him about George’s injury just now. I think you will be interested to hear me say it again.” The Trail Blazers player was in Porter. The city of Lan is very popular wherever they go. I heard that Anjie and Ricard came to the hospital, and George’s doctor in charge rushed over in his spare time.
“George… is he okay to play in the finals, right?” An Jie didn’t mean anything. He hoped that the stone in his heart could fall sooner.
The doctor did not answer directly, but took a big breath. At that moment, An Jie knew that it was over!
“George’s injury is not serious, but the imminent finals…I am afraid I will not be able to catch up.” It takes great courage for the doctor to say this in front of Ricard and Anjie. .
“Oh, God!” Ricard immediately held his forehead without concealing his disappointment.
“What kind of injury is it?” An Jie kept this calm and continued to ask.
“Similar to Damien’s, but much lighter. There is a slight structural injury to the ankle, and 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 long at any time. If this is still playing the regular season, a one-month absence will only leave George missing more than a dozen games. But on the eve of the finals, a month’s time means reimbursement for the season. Because no matter how the Blazers and Cavaliers play, one month later, this season is over.
“Can I play with the injury?” George did not become depressed, but actively looked for any possibility.
“You are not only hurting the bones, but the tendons in the ankles are also damaged to varying degrees. The closed injection will not solve the problem, and it can’t even be temporarily relieved.” The doctor knows what George means. Many athletes will get the closed injection. 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… I’m sorry gentlemen, George, can’t be in the finals…” After the doctor finished speaking, the three silent people nodded and exited the ward.
Ricard, Angel and George didn’t know what to say for a while. George was so excited just now because he saw the team win the Western Conference championship, saw Angel 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 **** hate my foot.” George slowly raised his head, his eyes moist.
“Bullshit!” Suddenly, An Jie yelled and punched the wall.
“Not only this year, but next season, next season, and next season, we will also reach the finals! Not only do we have to reach the finals, we also have to win the championship! You have already won the championship in one season. George, do you think that winning the championship is only the winner of the finals? Everything before entering the finals is also part of the championship! Your dedication has helped us send the team to the door of the finals and has helped us touch I met a champion. Next, give me your dream, I will take the last step for you and get the **** O’Brien Cup back!” An Jie clenched his fists, and they have reached the O’Brien Cup. In front of me, how could I fall down because of an injury!
If someone else said these beautiful things, George might ignore it. But An Jie is different. This guy never promises things he can’t do.
“Okay, George, don’t worry. I promise you, I will make it to the finals!” George hasn’t forgotten. A few hours ago, when he was struggling in his heart, it was An Jie who suddenly patted himself on the shoulder. Calm down. The facts have also proved that Anjie has indeed fulfilled his promise.
Now, Anjie said something similar. George has no reason to question his idol.
He knows that Anjie is a great player. A great player is best at doing great things.
“I can only help the team here, please, we must win!” George said, reaching out his left hand and clashing with An Jie.
After that, the three of them chatted for a while in the ward. During this time, George talked and laughed. This guy really put all hope on An Jie. George didn’t want to be depressed, after all, the Trail Blazers had just reached the finals, and this was a night worthy of joy.
Later, Ricard and Anjie had to go home. An Jie didn’t drive, so he called a taxi back.
On the way back, the sights of the city of Portland flashed by Anjie ~www.mtlnovel.com~Unconsciously, 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 about George’s injury?” At a traffic light intersection, the driver who stopped the car finally couldn’t help asking.
“No, I can’t play in the finals.” An Jie did not hide the truth. Anyway, the Trail Blazers will announce the news early tomorrow morning.
“Hey, that kid…it’s a pity.” The driver shook his head and adjusted the rear mirror to observe An Jie’s expression.
“But, we can still win, right? You will carry this city on your back, I know you will.” An Jie may not know yet. His image as a Portland hero has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the hearts of every citizen. He is the spiritual leader of the entire city. As long as he is there, even if the team is behind 3-0, the fans know that there is still hope.
The car started again, and Anjie 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 decisively. From now on, the whole city will stand on the shoulders of giants!
