Chapter 284: NBA Rookie
Continuing south along Xingang, is the Qianwan National Wetland Park.
Outside the wetland park, on the edge of Xiuhu Lake, a large area of low buildings is hidden in the scenic landscape, and several vertical plaques are hung at the gate.
The 352 Hospital of the Donghai Provincial Military Region, the Medical Research Institute of the Institute of Reflection, and the First Affiliated Hospital of the Meditation Branch of Qianwan University.
A nanny car drove in, revealing a young and lonely face through the window.
Even though the scenery outside the window is beautiful, Liu Fei's mood is still extremely gloomy.
As the first Chinese to compete in the NBA, Liu Fei, who plays as a small forward, is very popular in China.
This season has been his rookie season, and he has delivered a beautiful report card after playing this season with the Pelicans.
Three years ago, Liu Fei suffered a serious knee injury, and although he returned to the professional arena, he has lost the basis for competing with those heavenly prides.
However, the Pelicans' small forward position Moore is really outrageously weak, and Liu Fei actually got stable playing time.
As the 2019-2020 season gradually came to an end, the Pelicans, who missed the playoffs, had no desire, coupled with the management's purpose of developing the Chinese market, Liu Fei even began to serve as the team's starting small forward.
After playing well in a few games, Liu Fei was instantly blown into 'Feitian Liu' by the Chinese sports media, and quickly became the top name in the Chinese basketball world, and the agent also helped him receive a lot of endorsements.
Liu Fei hated this kind of touting.
He knew how hard these people were praising him now, and how hard he stepped on him when he fell.
When he didn't have a knee injury three years ago, he was a well-known young talent in the CBA.
Excellent strength, extremely fast, no slowing down and changing direction on the field, taking off and dunking, and omnipotence in the air relay, as long as there is him, the victory is basically determined.
Liu Fei's flexibility and coordination are also superb, and he is pleasing to the eye when he plays, and quickly won the attention of the media and fans.
At that time, the coaches of seven or eight NBA teams came to the CBA to watch him play, and they were full of praise for Liu Fei's talent, saying that he was a genius worthy of the top three picks in the draft.
At that time, he became the Huaguo Kobe in the mouth of the media.
As a result, during an ordinary dunk in an ordinary game, he hit his knee on a teammate, causing a torn meniscus and lying in the hospital for two months.
Then everything changed.
Although he returned to the professional arena with great perseverance and is still a dazzling star in the CBA, the Huaguo Kobe Bryant, who is omnipotent and rushes to the basket at every turn, is gone, and is replaced by Liu Fei who solves problems with awareness, coordination and long-range shooting.
Even if the media knew that Liu Fei was a smart move to prolong his professional life, they joked that he had become the youngest court master.
After the injury, the NBA's enthusiasm for him also diminished quickly.
There are too many geniuses in this world, and only those who can resist injuries can grow into real stars.
It is not uncommon for amazing geniuses to be ruined by a serious injury, even if Liu Fei seems to be recovering well now, he can still have the level of an excellent blue-collar worker.
However, players who have been seriously injured are prone to serious injuries again, and no one can guarantee when Liu Fei's operated knee will suddenly collapse, and only two of the original seven or eight NBA teams are still paying attention to him.
Later, Liu Fei did successfully land in the NBA, but the top three were gone, and the Pelicans only gave a show at the end of the first round, which is estimated to be based on the face of the huge Chinese market behind him, otherwise he would definitely fall to the second round or even lose the election.
Liu Fei was full of desire to prove himself, gritted his teeth and entered the NBA.
After adapting to the new style of play, he played very well in his rookie season, and of course, the Pelicans' terrible main small forward Moore gave Liu Fei a lot of opportunities, and even let him seize the opportunity to become a starter at the end of the season.
Just when Liu Fei thought that his career would go to the next level next year, disaster happened.
In the game a week ago, when he was defending, he was hit by the opponent's knee, and the opponent just put a cold compress on the court and returned to the court, but Liu Fei went to the hospital again lying down and panicking.
Sure enough, after some examination, the doctor announced a heart-wrenching result to him:
Only part of the meniscus can be removed.
He still remembered the fear, and even the pain of tearing his knees could not hide the great panic in his heart.
I'm finished!
My career is over!
I've also received so many endorsements!
How can I compensate for those sky-high liquidated damages!
......
Liu Fei was lying in the luxurious ward, trembling nervously, holding his father's hands tightly, tears were about to flow out:
"Dad, can Shensi Group really cure me?"
Liu Kan used to be a professional basketball player for Bayi Team, and was not only Liu Fei's father, but also his agent and basketball coach.
Liu Kan certainly knows the importance of the meniscus to basketball players, and countless geniuses have been turned into waste because of this fragile bone.
He could only reassure:
"This technology is Jiangyuan's latest technology, and it is said that three experiments have been carried out with very good results. Do you remember Su Lin? She introduced me to a lot of people out there with meniscus damage who are rushing to get the opportunity to experiment, and if it weren't for the fact that I knew her father, you wouldn't have gotten this opportunity. ”
Liu Fei relaxed a little, lowered his head and wiped his eyes.
No matter how strong a professional athlete he is, he's just a 22-year-old boy.
Liu Kan then said softly:
"Son, after all, the experimental technology is not perfect, and you have grown up, you can decide whether to do it or not. If you don't want to, we can leave now. Regarding the matter of liquidated damages, Dad can find a way to solve it, you don't have to worry. ”
Liu Fei was stunned for a moment.
Figured it out?
How to figure it out?
Dad is just an ordinary basketball player, if he can't play in the NBA again, the liquidated damages are at least hundreds of millions, how can his family afford to pay it?
Liu Fei looked up at his father's face, his face was wrinkled and his hair was gray.
When is Dad getting old?
He couldn't help but think of when he was a child, when his father taught him to play basketball, how strong he was then, and now his back is stiff.
He remembered his father's excitement when he entered the CBA, the self-blame of his father who seriously injured him for the first time, the pride of his father when he entered the NBA, and the B he once pretended:
"I'm going to beat Kobe!"
It's a pity that he hasn't entered the NBA yet, and Kobe Bryant has retired.
How could I be so cowardly!
Liu Fei secretly clenched his fists and said in a low voice:
"I want to play basketball! I want to play in the NBA!"
Liu Kan patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile:
"I'll call the doctor. ”
At this moment, Jiang Yuan walked in with several scientific researchers, followed by a female nurse pushing a small cart.
"Hello, Liu Fei, I'm your fan! After this treatment, your knee will be restored to its most perfect state!" Jiang Yuan saw Liu Fei's red eyes and pretended not to see it, and stretched out his hand directly.
"Ahh......h Hello!" Liu Fei was nervous.
Jiang Yuan actually came in person!
He was about to stretch out his hand, when he suddenly remembered that there were tears on his hands, and he hurriedly wiped them on the bed before shaking hands.
Jiang Yuan understood his feelings, and after greeting Liu Kan again, he took an iPad from the others, pointed to it, and said:
"Meniscus regeneration technology is genetic technology that can restore your meniscus to its original state. I have just had your genes checked and are eligible for treatment with a very high success rate. Of course, Mr. Liu, although I am confident in my technology, this is the experimental stage after all, and if you don't agree, we can stop immediately. You've already understood the possible consequences, and now I'm going to ask you one last time: Are you sure you're going to do meniscus regeneration?"
Jiang Yuan's DT1 has kept the entire video recording to avoid future disputes.
Liu Fei looked at the complex images on the iPad, he couldn't understand it at all, and then looked at the white bones on the perspective film on the iPad, he was inexplicably frightened, and looked at his father for help.
Liu Fei was not so fragile, but the serious knee injury completely penetrated his heart defense.
Liu Kan said patiently:
"Son, you can make your own decisions!"
Liu Fei lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Do!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, waved his hand, and the doctors and nurses behind him swarmed up.
He just came to see this big-name patient, and of course he didn't do it himself.
A cute female nurse holds a long needle and carefully examines the pale blue needle inside.
Liu Fei frowned nervously:
"Do you still need injections? intramuscular injections?"
He has been afraid of injections since he was a child, and now he can only pretend to be calm.
The cute female nurse showed two beautiful tiger teeth and said:
"It's not a intramuscular injection, it's an injection into the knee. This is differentiation with adult stem cells cultured from your own cells...... What is the differentiation? Oh, it's too complicated and I don't understand, anyway, it's the ingredient that can grow into a meniscus. ”
Injected into the knee!
A five-centimeter-long sharp needle glittering with a cold glow of steel approached.
Liu Fei shuddered.
"Are you so big afraid of injections?" Meng Meng looked at Liu Fei with disdain.
"Whoever says I'm afraid!" he wanted to admit it, but when he saw the disdain in Meng Mengda's big eyes, he couldn't admit anything:
"Fight, fight, close your eyes and it's over!"
The cute female nurse found the right position and quickly stabbed the needle into Liu Fei's knee.
He was in sharp pain at first, but soon the pain was gone.
The whole person was wooden, and it turned out that there was anesthetic.
Liu Fei slowly fell on the bed, dizzy, and only heard Meng Meng say vividly:
"What do you think? How is one injection possible? Eight injections a day, a course of treatment for 5 days, a total of 40 injections. ”
Forty stitches!
Thinking that there were thirty-nine silver steel needles inserted into his knees behind him, Liu Fei felt that the devil had grasped his heart, and his voice was already crying:
"I don't want to be cured! I want to go home......"
Then lost consciousness.
The one-meter-fifty-eight cuteness compared Liu Fei's height and said disdainfully:
"I'm so tall and strong, I'm not afraid of breaking my leg while playing basketball, but I'm afraid of getting an injection?"
Liu Kan could only smile and awkwardly wiped away the tears on his son's face.
