"Xiao Wu, I don't care what method you use, and you can use your personal relationship with An Jie. In short, you must dig out all the news about his injuries for me! Yes! Thank you for your hard work. No, he can't be uninjured. Just now, you saw the team doctor bandaging his fingers. Okay, go and do your business, I'll wait for your good news." After the game, on the way to the media reception room, Wu Hua received a call from the editor-in-chief of Sports Pioneer. The process and results of the game that just ended have become less important, and everyone's attention is on An Jie's shocking fingers.

"Okay, I'll do my best." Wu Hua actually doesn't want to make money by the news that Anjie was injured. Anjie's injury is definitely not "good news" for Chinese basketball. In fact, he really hopes that Anjie can appear at the press conference safely. However, when all the people who attended the press conference of the Trail Blazers arrived, people did not see the tall Chinese.

Iguodala, Lillard and Ricard were sitting on the stage, and the three of them were next to the Trail Blazers’ press officer. Undoubtedly, Angel was absent.

"George   .     Coach Ricard! Did Ann play in the last quarter with an injury??"

"How is An's injury?? Will he be indefinitely quit like Lamarcus. Aldridge!?"

"Did An's fingers be broken or dislocated? We saw An's fingers on the bench couldn't even bend!"

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

"Okay, please calm down! Coach Ricard will tell you all the information he controls." The news officer of the Trail Blazers had to increase the volume to restore order to the scene.

Ricard cleared his hoarse voice because he was commanding the game and put his head closer to the microphone.

"An was seriously invaded by Anthony during an attack. Davis. What we can confirm is that Ann's middle and ring fingers on his left hand were damaged, but as for whether he had a fracture, I will have to investigate further before I can give you a reply. As for the fourth quarter, Ann did play with injuries. But I think this may be the reason why Ann is a Portland hero." Ricard said everything the reporters wanted to know in a few words, because this guy also wanted to end the press conference quickly so that he could check Anger's situation.

"George   .    Mr. Ricard, if Anjie's injury is not optimistic, will you let him play with an injury in the subsequent game?" Just as others were still "digesting" the explosive news, Wu Hua stood up and asked questions.

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

If Anjie and Aldridge both were injured, the Trail Blazers' performance would definitely be greatly affected. But if Anjie was so young, he started to play with injuries...... For some reason, Wu Hua's mind flashed with the name of retired Yao Ming.

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

Ricard answered these questions smoothly. Forty minutes later, the press conference finally ended, and Ricard hurriedly left the media reception room and ran towards the hospital where Anjie was.

Ricard really doesn't like waiting for the elevators in the hospital. The elevators here will always come late when you are most anxious. Aldridge is still lying in the cardiology department, but he has to go to the orthopedics department to visit another star under his command.

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

"Boss, I've been waiting for you for a long time. An's result has come out. Let's go to the office to discuss." As soon as Ricard stepped out of the elevator, the Trail Blazers' team doctor came up.

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

"How about it, there is no fracture?" Ricard saw that Angel could finish the game in the fourth quarter and played well, and thought that the situation should not be too bad.

"I'm sorry, Coach Ricard had a minor fracture in both the middle and ring finger of Ann's left hand. Although it was a minor fracture, it was still fractured. His bones were damaged, and I think he had to stop." A doctor walked out of the crowd and answered Ricard's question.

"Hell!" Ricard turned and cursed, and at that moment he almost stopped believing in God.

"I can't imagine how An survived the fourth quarter. If he continued to play basketball while he was fractured, the pain would be self-evident. But I don't recommend such things as taking the game with injuries." The doctor said, taking out an X-ray and explaining Ricard in detail to the light bulb.

"I said, I won't be hospitalized, and I won't be on the verge of fighting! I will talk to the doctor, don't stop me." At this moment, a noisy shout came from the doctor's office door. The next second, the office door was opened, and a tall guy bent over and walked in. It was An Jie.

"Boss, they said they wanted me to be hospitalized for a quit because of a few fingers. Tell them quickly, this is impossible! If I was injured in my lower limbs and I couldn't run, there was no way to treat the quit. But just two fingers would not affect my competitive level at all!" An Jie said, waving his left hand, and his two fingers had been wrapped into "zongzi" by the doctors.

"Listen to Mr. An, I know the mood of your athletes! But if your fingers are injured twice on the court, or if they are dragged for too long and not received effective treatment from the system, I can't guarantee that your two fingers can move freely! If the situation is bad, these two fingers will even bend like the chopsticks you Chinese use for meals!" The doctor who was just discussing light tablets with Ricard turned to Anjie righteously.

"What's the point? What's the use of leaving two flexible fingers if I don't play basketball?" An Jie answered angrily.

"Daughty! You are not even 25 years old now, and your life has not started very long. Apart from basketball, there are many things in your life! When you are forty or fifty, can you still play basketball?? Do you hope that by that time, you will become an old man who can't even catch things!" The doctor retorted unwillingly. It can only be said that athletes and doctors always have different perspectives on injuries.

The next second, Anjie 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, this will have to be very, very good." The doctor replied bluntly, he did not intend to give Ricard too much optimistic news.

"One and a half month..." Ricard was speechless for a moment. Of course, he hoped that Anjie could rest with peace of mind. But one and a half months were too long, and the actual time was definitely more than one and a half months.

"An, you'd better recover from your injuries. In the playoffs, let's fight slowly." Ricard and the doctor finally turned their attention to An Jie, who had the right to decide.

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

"Yes, yes, we can fix your fingers with bandages, but you will suffer a lot of pain during the game, and those two fingers are almost unable to move. And, if you do so, your treatment will definitely be delayed. I don't advocate this approach because…"

"Then do it like this, doctor." Before An Jie could wait for the doctor to speak, he smiled and accepted the plan.

"What!? Don't tell me that in the fourth quarter of today's game, you don't feel itchy!?" The doctor looked at An Jie in disbelief.

"It hurts a little, but I don't think it will have much impact on my playing basketball. 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 freely. Have you considered all these?" It seems that the doctor in this hospital doesn't know how stubborn An Jie is.

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

"I have to discuss with your team doctor." After the doctor said that, he waved his hand and asked Anjie and Ricard to wait outside first.

"Damn, why are young people so stubborn now?" An Jie just walked out of the office and closed the door when he heard the doctor's scolding. An Jie knew that the doctor was also considering his health and that he was kind-hearted. But now, An Jie is willing to give everything to play in order to play, even if he overdraws his health.

"I don't want to be the destructor of your life." Ricard needed Angel very much, but he was very sorry for letting Angel get an injury.

"Don't worry, boss, this is my own decision." An Jie looked at his two extremely painful fingers and clenched his teeth!

More than ten minutes later, the Trail Blazers' Team Doctor Xi and An Jie's attending doctor walked out of the office. It seemed that the two guys had reached an agreement.

"Remember to come here to wrap your bandages before training and competitions start in the future." Team Doctor Xi patted An Jie on the shoulder, and An Jie immediately knew what the sentence meant.

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

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

"You did this to give me and Portland a chance."

"Basketball, you guys only have basketball in your mind." The doctor cursed and returned to the office. There were still many patients who needed his help.

"Let's go, let's go and take a look at Lamarcus first. Then go back and rest and prepare for the next game." An Jie felt relaxed now. At least this season, he would not be on the verge of injury.
