The Way of the Center

"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 Raptors. Really, I can't help but want to change the channel now." The Grizzlies and Raptors are dull The game made Charles Barkley drowsy, but fortunately, at least this time he didn't bring the topic to football.

"You can apply to your superiors. Of course, this game is not useless. Gasol's performance in this game is very good..." Reggie Miller is used to wiping Charles Barkley's ass , this is a boring game, but Reggie Miller must also analyze the interesting aspects.

"Oh, isn't it?! Charles, I think you must be very interested in this news." Just then, Kenny Smith spoke.

"What news?" Barkley moved his fat head toward Smith.

"Just now, Ann was injured in an offense." Kenny Smith flipped 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 itself. Now, they are more concerned about An Jie's injury in another arena.

"Ann is injured!?" Barkley snatched the tablet from Smith's hand, and the Thunder have made great strides this season so far. It can be said that it is unimpeded. Now that An Jie is suddenly injured, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Thunder.

"I think so, I hope this guy is okay. Alright Charles, let's get back to this game between the Grizzlies and the Raptors."

...................................

It was not the first time that An Jie's ankle had been injured, but never before had the pain been so heart-piercing.

"What are you doing bastard!?" Morris confirmed An Jie's situation, and rushed directly in front of David Lee. Just now he clearly saw that it was David Li who put his foot on An Jie's whereabouts.

"Go away, I don't want to argue with you." David Lee didn't fight back, but raised his arms to show his innocence. soon. The two separated under the obstruction of the players on both sides.

"You damn guy!" Morris said, suddenly broke free from Ibaka's shackles, rushed up and threw a punch, hitting David Lee in the face.

The injured An Jie was still on the ground, but the whole scene was completely out of control. Morris' mind has been completely blinded by anger, and now he just wants to avenge An Jie and make David Lee suffer.

Although Morris is only in the second grade,

But he has become the focus of David Stern. Today he slammed his fist firmly on David Lee's head, and the referee naturally wouldn't let him go.

A second flagrant foul, Morris was sent off in the chaos. It wasn't until this time that people remembered the key point of this matter, An Jie's injury.

When Morris made trouble, the team doctor and Van Gundy had already briefly asked about Anjie's situation. An Jie was able to walk on his own with the support of the team doctor, but he couldn't move his injured foot at all.

An Jie was helped into the player tunnel by the team doctor under the eyes of all the people and the concerned eyes of his teammates.

After the game, Anjie did not come back. But despite the lack of Anjie, the Thunder still made it to the end. But 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 next trend of the Thunder team.

Van Gundy was the first to rush into the locker room, but when he walked into the locker room, Angie was no longer there. Only later did he hear the team doctor say that An Jie had been sent to the hospital. If it's just an ordinary sprain, there should be no need to worry so much. Although Anjie had injuries in the first two seasons, all of them were short-term mild sprains. But this time, the situation is obviously different.

"His expression has been in pain. We have no choice but to take him to the hospital for further examination." This is the only explanation Van Gundy got from the left-behind team doctor. joke with others. But the expression is always painful, this is not An Jie's style.

"Yao yesterday, is it Ann today? Damn it!" Van Gundy walked out of the Chesapeake Energy arena and headed for the hospital, ignoring the upcoming press conference.

Now the entire St. Mary's Hospital's surgeons are sweating profusely. An Jie's expression has never been relaxed, and the mood of the doctors is even more tense.

But it won't be long before they will get the film, get the film, and they will know about An Jie's injury.

An hour, two hours, three hours passed, and Van Gundy still didn't wait for the door of the doctor's office to open, and still didn't get the situation.

If it is an ordinary mild sprain, it can be diagnosed within an hour at most. But now the doctor has spent more than three hours researching, presumably the condition may be very complicated.

When An Jie landed just now, logically he only hurt his ankle. But now that the situation is so serious, Van Gundy can't help worrying about whether Anjie has suffered injuries elsewhere.

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 wildly, the door of the doctor's office was suddenly opened. The sound of the door opening was like the sound of nature in Van Gundy's ears. The bald coach had long been mentally prepared to meet everything.

"The ankle is slightly sprained. Ann's ankle is much weaker than before, and sprains will be more likely to occur than before." The doctor held a thick diagnostic information, and Van Gundy looked at the doctor in disbelief. How could it take so long to diagnose if it was just a sprain.

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is that Ann's right knee seems to have a meniscus injury." The doctor flipped through the diagnosis and read it accordingly.

"Where!?" In the quiet hospital, Van Gundy's roar seemed so loud.

"Semi...slight damage to the meniscus, I think it's caused by the setback of the knee." The doctor was obviously taken aback by Van Gundy's yelling, and replied tremblingly.

After hearing the doctor's confirmation again, Van Gundy suddenly slumped on the bench, his eyes glazed over.

The meniscus, Van Gundy knows what it means to a basketball player. Look at Roy, if it weren't for the damn meniscus, he might really be the next Kobe Bryant.

"Penny" Hardaway was also considered one of Jordan's successors in the first four years of his career, but it was because of a meniscus injury that he gradually withdrew from people's sight.

Van Gundy is familiar with each of these stories and experiences. But he didn't expect that Anjie would suffer such bad news in this season when the Thunder team was about to show results!

Needless to say by the doctor, Van Gundy knew that Anjie would definitely not be able to play this season. But what he is afraid of is that after Anjie returns, he will not be able to continue playing like he is now.

Guys who have experienced a meniscus injury, maybe only one out of ten people can completely get rid of the haze of the injury and return to the top. It's not that Van Gundy has no confidence in Anjie, but such a probability cannot convince him to be blindly optimistic.

"How long Anjie will be absent, we have to go through further inspections before giving a time. But I have to give you a vaccination coach, Anjie is very likely, very likely to be reimbursed for the season."

"Boom!" As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Van Gundy's mind exploded again. Reimbursement for the season, the word reimbursement for the season seems a bit too heavy, so heavy that even he, an experienced coach, cannot bear it immediately.

"You can't go in! This is a hospital!" Following the shout of the hospital security guard, countless reporters rushed into St. Mary's Hospital and rushed to the door of An Jie's examination room. And this commotion also brought the sluggish Van Gundy back to his senses.

"How is Ann's injury!?"

"Coach Van Gundy, do you think that David Lee was a flagrant foul!? Did he intentionally cause Ann to be injured!?"

"Can we meet Ann!? Where is he!?"

The arrival of the reporter suddenly made the ward where An Jie was located into a noisy mess. With the momentum of the Thunder team so strong this season and the high degree of attention, the consequences of An Jie's injury will naturally affect the hearts of the public even more.

Although Van Gundy and the doctor didn't say a word when asked, the reporters never get rejected, they can always use all kinds of ways to get news.

So, only three hours later, the news of An Jie's meniscus injury was spread. It is impossible to trace the source of the news leak now. The only thing the Thunder can do now is to actively cooperate with An Jie's treatment.

When the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean got the news, their hearts almost collapsed. Yao Ming was injured again yesterday after his brief comeback. And An Jie, who was carrying the expectations of hundreds of millions of people, also collapsed on the basketball court a day later.

An Jie and Yao Ming, the two most successful basketball players in China, were injured and retired at almost the same time. Such news is enough to make the Chinese sports circle explode.

Even tonight's ccTV5 sports world spent more than half of its program time introducing the injuries of Yao Ming and An Jie.

"Although judging from the current leaked information, Anjie's injury was born on the meniscus. But this is still not the official news of the Thunder. On the official website of the Thunder, they gave an answer that Anjie is still accepting The examination did not confirm the diagnosis. So it is also possible that An Jie's injury is not that serious. Everyone should still remember that An Jie's previous two injuries were only minor sprains that were unexpected." Finally, the host of ccTV5 Ended this heavy topic with such a paragraph, and appeased the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.

Now, there are two most widespread versions in folklore. One is that Anjie's meniscus is injured and he will be reimbursed for the season. The second is that Anjie is just the same as the previous two seasons, with a mild ankle sprain, which is not a serious problem.

But when the Thunder officially announced the news the next morning, not to mention the fans, even An Jie's teammates were shocked.

It turns out that neither version was wrong. An Jie was slightly sprained, and the meniscus was also injured. This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Morris really regrets it now, really regrets that he didn't beat that guy David Lee yesterday. Although to the outside world, whether David Lee's stretching of his feet was intentional is still open to question. But to be honest, if it wasn't intentional, why did he suddenly take that extra step forward? Now that An Jie's meniscus is injured, this is an irreparable fact.

Now even the fans know about Anjie's injury, so would Anjie himself not know about it? Although he is not a medical specialist, An Jie still has a lot of knowledge about sports occupational injuries. Meniscus, no matter how optimistic and strong the player is, it is impossible for him to smile in front of the meniscus injury.

An Jie was lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly out of the window. The sky outside seemed to be the same as my mood, gray and dark.

Catherine, Divac and others were on their way to visit Anjie, and Anjie's parents flew to Oklahoma immediately after getting the news. But An Jie is indifferent to all of this now, he only knows that something really happened to him this time.

An Jie's soaring career track, today, suddenly stopped the seemingly unstoppable progress...... 8
