Nine Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Theoretical Method
Link made two consecutive fatal defenses at critical moments, Carter completed a buzzer beater, the Grizzlies narrowly escaped death at Oracle Arena, the total score of the series became 2-1, and the defending champion regained the advantage...
On the surface, it was a perfect night for the Grizzlies. All Memphis fans were immersed in joy after the victory.
They shouted for Link, while Carter sang and applauded Jorge's bold decision-making at the critical moment.
But as the coach of the Grizzlies, Dave Joerger was worried at this time.
As soon as the game ended, Link and Moon went to the local hospital in Auckland. After attending the press conference, Joger rushed over immediately.
At this time, he and Link were outside the doctor's office, waiting for the results of the physical examination.
Link's expression of holding his chest and grinning would always appear in front of his eyes from time to time.
Having worked with Link for so many years, Qiaogel knew Link's character. That guy was able to achieve so much success not just because of his outstanding personal abilities.
And because Link’s tenacity and will are unparalleled!
This trait makes Link unafraid when facing any difficulties and makes him almost impossible to be knocked down.
Over time, the entire Grizzlies team was infected by Link's characteristics.
In Joger's view, this is the reason why the Grizzlies, a small city team, can win three consecutive championships.
Their configuration is not the best in the league, their number of superstars is not the largest in the league, and even their owner is not the richest in the league.
But their tenacity and will far surpass the other 29 teams.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Link would not grimace because of a little pain.
Although Link has not suffered any major injuries in his career so far, there are still some minor bumps and bruises. There was no injury that made Link frown.
He can always get up immediately after falling down, and he can always grit his teeth and persevere in fierce confrontations.
Under normal circumstances, Link would not show his painful side, he would not allow himself to do that.
Unless what he is enduring is unimaginable pain!
Just as Qiao Geer was thinking wildly, Moon walked out of the doctor's office holding the film that Link had just taken.
Moon's expression is very serious. This middle-aged man usually smiles and is very approachable. Therefore, the relationship with the players is also very good.
It's rare to hear of a team's players and the chief team doctor getting along well, but Moon is an example.
So when this affable man turns serious, it means something is bad, very, very bad.
"How's it going?" Qiaogel stepped forward, more concerned about the test results than Link himself.
Moon did not respond immediately, but stared at Link, and then shook his head, "Tell me, how the hell did you do it!? Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!"
"What's wrong?" Link looked confused. What did he do?
"Take a look, have you seen this film? There is an obvious crack here! Non-displaced fracture of the first costal cartilage,
fracture! God, how on earth did you last the entire game! "Moon held up the film under the light, and then looked at Link in surprise.
As a sports medicine expert, he has never seen such a case!
A player may be able to finish the game with a dislocation, a sprain, or an open wound. But he had never seen anyone persist in playing a whole game after breaking a bone!
Moon has not experienced broken ribs, but he did experience a broken calf bone in his youth on the football field.
Just a broken bone made Moon roll on the ground in pain. At that time, he couldn't stand up at all, let alone continue to play the game.
He knows how painful a broken bone can be, and as a sports medicine specialist, he has seen countless players with broken bones.
None of them could persist in finishing the game after suffering an injury like a broken bone.
Moon really couldn't imagine how Link managed to survive the fourth quarter.
Even with his ribs broken, he continued to fight, push and push the Warriors, and yes, that last heroic save when he rushed into the audience...
The more Moon thought about it, the more incredible he felt. If he hadn't held the film in his hand, he might have really doubted whether Link was a Terminator robot sent from the future!
No wonder Link always clutches his chest, no wonder he screamed in pain when he was just injured, no wonder his shooting percentage dropped in the fourth quarter.
I was fractured by someone else's elbow. Can it not hurt? ? Can it not affect shooting? ?
If this thing happened to other people, it would not be as simple as shouting a few words.
"What did you say? The first costal cartilage is fractured!?" Qiaogel was also shocked. If he had known that Link had fractured, he would have replaced him to rest.
But what Link showed on the court didn't look like he had broken bones at all!
Indeed, in normal life, there are many people who continue to work after fractures. But having a fierce confrontation on the court after breaking a bone is completely different from ordinary work!
"Is it so serious? I thought it wasn't serious." Link lowered his head and looked at his chest. He didn't know whether it was okay when he broke the bone. But after knowing that he had broken the bone, he felt that it suddenly became more painful... .
"You guys are such a monster... Don't say that your opponents are afraid of you, I am afraid of you now. There are some things that you can't always bear. In this situation..." Moon Halfway through, he looked at Link and Qogel.
"...In this situation, we can only suspend the game indefinitely. If the rib cartilage fracture is incomplete, it is fine, but if it is a complete fracture, it will take at least a month. Of course, this is the best case scenario. . In fact, the situation is hardly so ideal. Although it is difficult to say it, Link, you this season... you can hardly play this season, you are written off."
Qiaogel covered his head. The word "reimbursement" was like a bolt from the blue, splitting him into pieces.
Link also gritted his teeth. He did feel that the pain in his chest was more severe than before.
During the game, maybe because of the adrenaline, the pain was not that obvious. Now Link can hardly even raise his hand, let alone shoot.
The first costal cartilage fracture was not a career-threatening injury. Under normal circumstances, just resting and recuperating is the end of it.
But everyone present knew that winning three consecutive championships was not a normal situation. If I missed it this time, God knows if there will be another chance in this life.
Although the Grizzlies can beat more than just Link, everyone knows that without Link, the Grizzlies will have a hard time competing with the Warriors and the subsequent Eastern Conference champions.
The three of them fell into a brief silence. Everyone needed to digest the cruel fact of being reimbursed for the season at the critical moment.
"Can I get a blocking injection in my situation?" Finally, Link broke the silence.
At this point, all we can do is make a desperate move. Link knew the dangers of taking a blocking injection, which was a way of exchanging the future for the present.
Ibaka took a blocking injection for the Thunder last season, but this season, his condition has plummeted!
But Link doesn't care about that much anymore. If he doesn't seize this opportunity now, he may not have such an opportunity in the future.
However, Moon shook his head slightly and vetoed Link's proposal, "First of all, I personally will not inject sealing injections on my patients. This is a practice that is not worth the gain, and I will not do that. Secondly, You have cartilage fractures, so you can’t fight.”
Link sighed after hearing this. Don't you even have the conditions to make a desperate move?
Silence, another silence.
"Is there really nothing you can do about it, Moon? You know, I can't be reimbursed for the season." Link used the word "can't." Who doesn't want to rest and recuperate after a fracture?
But Link can't, he can't fall yet.
"You're not a machine, Link, and there's no quick cure for this. But..."
Hearing Munn say the word "but", Link's eyes suddenly lit up, "Go on, Munn!"
"We can't heal you quickly, but if your condition doesn't get worse in the next few days, you can theoretically play with an injury while wearing protective gear. But this is only theoretically possible, because whether you can play or not depends entirely on It depends on your ability to tolerate pain. But this kind of pain is impossible..."
Halfway through his words, Moon immediately regretted it. Because Link has always been able to turn anything theoretical into reality.
Nothing is impossible for that guy.
