Chapter 296: No longer lucky
"The game between the Thunder and the Warriors must be much more exciting. I don't know why the TV station called me three to talk about the Grizzlies and the Raptors. Really, I can't help but want to change the channel now." The dull game between the Grizzlies and the Raptors made Charles Barkley drowsy, but fortunately, at least this time he didn't bring the topic to football.
"You can apply to the top, of course this game is not useless. Gasol Jr. performed very well in this game..." Reggie Miller was used to wiping Charles Barkley's butt. This was a boring game, but Reggie Miller also had to analyze the interesting things.
"Oh, no?! Charles, I think you must be interested in this news." At this moment, Kenny Smith said.
"What news?" Barkley put his fat head towards Smith.
"Just just now, An was injured in an offense." Kenny Smith looked through the news in his hand, and everyone who watched the game and heard Kenny Smith's words no longer cared about the game between the Grizzlies and the Raptors. They now care more about Anger's injuries on another field.
"An is injured!" Barkleyyi snatched Smith's tablet computer. The Thunder's progress this season has been unimpeded. Now Anjie is suddenly injured, which will definitely bring a heavy blow to the Thunder.
"I think yes, I hope this guy is fine. OK Charles, let's go back to this game between the Grizzlies and the Raptors."
................
An Jie's ankle has been injured for not the first time, but no time has it been so heartbreaking.
"What are you doing?" Morris confirmed Anjie's situation and rushed directly to David Li. He just saw clearly that it was David Li who put his feet on Anjie's whereabouts point.
"Get out of here, I don't want to argue with you." David Lee did not fight back, but raised his arms to signal his innocence. Soon, the two separated under the obstruction of the players on both sides.
"You damn guy!" Morris said as he suddenly broke free from Ibaka's shackles, rushed up and swung his fist, hitting David Lee in the face.
The injured Anjie fell to the ground, but the whole scene was completely out of control. Morris's mind was completely blinded by anger. He just wanted to avenge Anjie and let David Lee taste the pain.
Although Morris is only in the second grade, he has become David Stern's focus. Today he hit David Lee firmly, so the referee will naturally not let him go.
After a second-degree malicious foul, Morris was directly sent off the field in the chaos of the film. It was not until this time that people remembered the focus of this matter, Anjie's injury.
When Morris was causing trouble, the team doctor and Van Gundy had already briefly asked about Anjie's situation. Anjie could walk by himself with the help of the team doctor, but the injured foot could not move.
Under the attention of everyone, An Jie was helped into the player channel by the team doctor under the care of his teammates.
In the subsequent game, An Jie did not come back. However, although An Jie was missing, the Thunder still survived to the end. However, the result of this game is no longer important. Now everyone is concerned about An Jie's injury, because his injury will directly affect the Thunder's subsequent trend.
Van Gundy was the first to rush into the locker room, but when he walked into the locker room, An Jie was no longer there. Later he heard the team doctor say that An Jie had been sent to the hospital. If it was just an ordinary sprain, there should be no need to be so anxious. Although An Jie had been injured in the first two seasons, all of them were short-term mild sprains. However, the situation was obviously different this time.
"His expression is very painful. We have no choice but to take him to the hospital for further examination first." This is the only explanation Van Gundy got from the left-behind team doctor. An Jie can fight on the court with a high fever and can joke with others after a sprain. But the expression is very painful, this is not An Jie's style.
"Yao yesterday, is she An today? How fucking it!" Van Gundy didn't even care about the upcoming press conference that would be held later, so he walked straight out of the Chesapeake Energy Arena and headed towards the hospital.
Now the surgeons at St. Mary's Hospital are sweating profusely, and Anjie's expression has never been relaxed, so the doctors are even more nervous.
But it won't take long to get the movie. When they get the movie, they will learn about An Jie's injury.
After an hour, two hours, three hours passed, Van Gundy still didn't wait until the doctor's office door opened, and still didn't get any situation.
If it is an ordinary mild sprain, the diagnosis can be confirmed in as much as 1 hour. But now the doctor has spent more than three hours on research, and the condition may be very complicated.
When Anjie landed just now, he just injured his ankle. However, now that the formation is so serious, Van Gundy can't help but worry if Anjie has also suffered damage in other places.
Thinking of this, Van Gundy was unwilling to continue. Yao Ming's injury almost made him miss the word great, and he didn't want An Jie to go on the same path as Yao Ming.
Just as Van Gundy was thinking about it, the door of the doctor's office was suddenly opened. The sound of the door opening was like a sound in Van Gundy's ear. The bald coach had already been mentally prepared to welcome him.
"The ankle was slightly sprained, and An's ankle was much weaker than before, and the sprain would be easier to have than before." The doctor took a thick diagnostic information, while Van Gundy looked at the doctor in disbelief. If it were just a sprain, how could he spend so much time to diagnose it?
"Of course, this is not the point. The point is that An seems to have meniscus damage to his right knee." The doctor turned the diagnosis page and read it according to the above.
"Where!?" In the quiet hospital, Van Gundy's roar seemed so loud.
"Half...the meniscus has a slight injury, I think it should be caused by knee frustration." The doctor was obviously frightened by Van Gundy's yell and replied in a terrifying manner.
After hearing the doctor confirmed it again, Van Gundy suddenly collapsed on the bench, his eyes stagnant.
Meniscus, Van Gundy knows what this part means to a basketball player. Look at Roy, if it weren't for the damn meniscus, he might have really become the next Kobe Bryant.
"Penny" Hardaway was also considered Jordan's successor in the first four years of his career, but it was because of the meniscus injury that he gradually withdrew from people's sight.
Van Gundy is familiar with these stories and experiences. But he did not expect that Anjie would suffer this bad news this season when the Thunder were about to achieve results!
Needless to say, Van Gundy knew that Anjie would definitely not be able to play this season. But what he was afraid of was that after Anjie returned, he would not be able to continue playing like he is now.
Among the ten people who have experienced meniscus injuries, perhaps only one of them can completely get rid of the haze of injuries and return to the peak. Van Gundy is not unconfident in Anjie, but such a probability cannot convince him to be blindly optimistic.
"We have to go through further inspections to give you a time. But I have to give you a vaccination coach. An Jie is very likely and very likely to be reimbursed for the season."
"Boom!" As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Van Gundy's mind exploded again. The term season reimbursement and season reimbursement seemed a bit too heavy, so heavy that even he, the experienced coach, could not bear it immediately.
"You can't go in! This is the hospital!" As the hospital security guard shouted, countless reporters rushed into St. Mary's Hospital and rushed to the door of Anjie's examination room. This commotion also made the dull Van Gundy come back to his senses.
"How is An's injury??"
"Coach Van Gundy, do you think David Lee was a malicious foul!? Did he do it on purpose that caused An to be injured!?"
"Can we meet An? Where is he??"
The arrival of the reporter suddenly made An Jie’s ward where An Jie is very noisy. This season, the Thunder team is so powerful and the attention is so high that the consequences of An Jie’s injury will naturally touch the public’s hearts more.
Although Van Gundy and the doctor didn't say anything after being questioned by the reporters, the reporters never were rejected. They could always use all kinds of ways to get news.
So, just three hours later, the news of An Jie's meniscus injury was spread. It is unlikely to track down the source of the leak. The only thing the Thunder team can do now is to actively cooperate with An Jie's treatment.
When Chinese fans across the ocean received this news, their hearts were almost collapsed. Yao Ming was injured again yesterday after a brief comeback. And An Jie, who was looking forward to hundreds of millions of people, also fell on the basketball court after a day.
An Jie and Yao Ming, the two most successful basketball players in China, almost retired during the same period of injury. Such news is enough to make the Chinese sports circle explode.
TV5's sports world spent most of its program time introducing Yao Ming and An Jie's injuries.
"Although judging from the current leaked news, An Jie's injury was born on the meniscus. But this is never the official news of the Thunder. The official answer from the Thunder was that An Jie was still under examination and had no confirmed diagnosis. So it is also possible that An Jie's injury was not that serious. Everyone should still remember that An Jie was injured in the first two times, but he was only a slight sprain without any danger." The host of TV5 ended this heavy topic with such a passage and sootheed the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.
Now, there are two most widely circulated versions among the people. One is that Anjie has a meniscus injury and will be reimbursed for the season. The second is that Anjie is just like the previous two seasons, with a mild ankle sprain, which is not serious.
However, when the Thunder team officially released the news the next morning, not to mention the fans, even Anjie's teammates were shocked.
As it turns out, neither version is wrong. Even Anjie was slightly sprained, and his meniscus was also injured. This result almost everyone expected.
Morris really regrets now, and he really regrets that he didn't beat David Lee that guy all over the ground yesterday. Although it is still questionable for the outside world whether David Lee's foot was intentional. But to be honest, if it weren't for intention, why would you suddenly take that extra step forward? Now An Jie's meniscus is injured, which is a fact that can't be compensated.
Now even fans know Anjie's injury, so would Anjie himself not know? Although he is not a medical specialist, Anjie still knows a lot about sports occupational injuries. Meniscus, no matter how optimistic and strong this player is, he cannot laugh in the face of meniscus injury.
An Jie lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly outside the window. The sky outside seemed to be as good as his mood, with a gray patch and a dark sun.
Katherine, Divac and others were on the way to visit Anjie. After Anjie's parents received the news, they immediately flew to Oklahoma. But Anjie is not concerned about everything now. He only knows that something really happened to him this time.
