Chapter 1116
After returning to New York, Lamar did not go home, but went straight to the hospital by car. Today was the day of Dampot's surgery, and as the boss of his good brother and Knicks, Lamar felt obligated to visit.
When I arrived at the hospital, Darmsport had not yet been pushed into the operating room, and the surgeon was working on the final plan.
One is a simple meniscus repair surgery, which is actually not complicated, but because it involves the basketball star of Dhampot, the hospital has to be cautious.
After a brief exchange with the doctors, Lamar asked about Dampot's recent examination and the success rate of the procedure. After receiving an affirmative answer from the attending doctor, Lamar was relieved.
The chief surgeon this time is a very famous sports surgeon in the United States, who has operated on many well-known NBA stars such as Stoudemire Jr. and Vince Carter before, and is also very famous in the world, and even the mobilization of football players from the five major European leagues often patronize this doctor's business.
According to doctors, if the recovery after surgery is good and the Knicks' record is good enough, it is entirely possible that Darmsport will return in the second round of the playoffs.
That's good news for Lamar. Everyone knows that the more you get to the playoffs, the tougher the game becomes. Without Dampot, a good helper and partner on the inside, Lamar may feel powerless at that time.
When he walked into the Damport hospital room, he was relaxing in the company of his family. This is the first time that Damport, an iron man, has suffered such a serious injury in his career, and although there have been a lot of bumps before, it has not yet reached the point of opening the knife.
This time, even a nervous guy like Dampot couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Hey, Lamar!" Dampott's sharp-eyed eyes were the first to spot Lamar and greeted him with a smile.
Lamar nodded, and said hello to Dampot's family. He and Dampot's parents and brothers were not very familiar with each other, and had only met once before.
When Dhampot's family saw Lamar coming, they also retreated. His mother whispered to Lamar with some concern.
Lamar also learned about his brother's condition through the nagging of Dampot's mother.
Although Dampotter still looks indifferent now, this guy is still very nervous. And perhaps after a long stay in the hospital, the Haitian has been a little restless lately, and this injury will leave a shadow on Dampot's heart.
When the family was out, Dampot smiled and said, "Lamar, I heard that little Pandora was born." Congratulations, Lamar, I'm so happy for you, but unfortunately I can't go see her right now. Lamar, Pandora must be pretty, right?"
Lamar found a place to sit down and smiled, "Yes! she's beautiful, much like her mother." ”
"That's good!" said Dampott, and stopped talking, looking a little gloomy. If you want to laugh but can't laugh, it's not easy to force a smile.
If anything else, Dampot wouldn't have tortured himself to the way he is. But the problem is that the knee is the deadliest place for every athlete, and this place is injured, and no one can say what will happen in the future.
Even after surgery, will he be able to get back to his best after surgery? Will the Knicks have the patience to wait for himself to get back to his best? These questions plague Dampoter every day.
Dampot loves New York, he likes the Knicks, and he really sees it as home. While there were plenty of teams tempting him this summer, Dampoter didn't bother with those temptations at all, and he just wanted to play for the Knicks and play next to Lamar.
But now he's injured, when the team needed him most, when he's finally grown up to share the blame for Lamar. This made Dampotter very depressed, and there was a faint guilt in his heart.
Although he couldn't play, by watching the news and the live broadcast of the Knicks game, Darm Porter also learned that Milicic's performance was getting better and better, and even the last game against the Memphis Grizzlies was placed in the starting position by Coach K.
Seeing Milicic look majestic under the basket, Dampotter felt very uncomfortable. He wasn't jealous, he wasn't resentful of Milicic stealing his place, he just watched others fight on the field, and he could only lie on the hospital bed, making him feel as if he was useless.
Milicic is younger and more talented than him (at least Milicic's attacking prowess is a street away from Darmster) and the future is bright. And Milicic doesn't seem to be worse than him in terms of physical fitness, and he has an advantage over him in terms of height, coupled with the strong performances in these games, which makes Damppot have a deep sense of crisis.
Looking at Dampotter's lost appearance, Lamar could also guess what Dampotter was thinking now, and asked with a smile: "How is the situation now?"
Dampotter replied, "It's okay! Today's surgeon said that the chances of success are very high, so I don't have to worry." What about the team? You've had a good record lately, are there any problems with the team?"
"Not bad!" Lamar replied with a smile, "Darko hasn't been doing well lately, and is now able to share something for Alonzo." Although he is still very immature, everyone can see that his talent is good, and his future achievements may not be worse than Dirk. I really don't know how the Pistons' uniform team and Larry Brown did it back then, and a good genius was made a parallel commodity by them. ”
Lamar's words made Dampoter's mood worse, as if he had anticipated his future being swept away by the Knicks!
"What are you thinking?"
Dampotter looked up and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I wonder if I'm still useful to the Knicks?"
Lamar smiled and asked, "So what do you think?"
Dampot said in frustration, "Look at the way I look now, that Milicic guy will replace me sooner or later! I guess I'm useless against the Knicks, right?"
After saying this, Dampoter's mouth felt bitter, leaving the Knicks, he had never thought about it before, it was too much for him to accept.
"Do you think so?" Lamar's face changed slightly, and his tone became a little cold.
Dampotter lowered his head and muttered, "Isn't it? Even Patrick wasn't traded? I'm so much worse than him!"
Lamar stood up, walked up to Dampot, and scolded in a cold tone, "If that's what you think, I can sweep you out of the house right now!" Bastard, when did you become so aggressive?"
"I 。。。。。。 Dampott looked up at Lamar and tried to argue, but found that he really didn't have much to say. The reasons for the way he is now seem to be all his imagination.
"I talked to the doctor just now, and if you recover well, you can come back in the second round of the playoffs. Remember, I'm going to take the team to the playoffs, I'm going to be waiting for you, I'm going to come back and go with us to the championship!"
Ramal's words stunned Dampoter, who didn't know what to say and could only watch Lamar leave. When the door to the hospital room was shut, Dampoter understood what Lamar meant, and grinned happily.
Lamar went out the door, muttered "idiot!" and left the hospital.
Dampott's concern was understandable, but the bastard's unbelief in himself made it hard for him to accept. Since Lamar promised to sweep the league and dominate the NBA with Dampoter when the two were paired together, he will definitely do it.
Although Milicic is doing a good job now, in Lamar's eyes, that guy is still far behind.
If Milicic can continue to perform at that level, he will only have to be on the bench with Darmsot.
Unlike Wade, Lamar is willing to share the ball with Wade, that is because Wade is an outside lineman who can complement Lamar, and the combination of inside and outside has always been the trend of the NBA.
Although the twin towers are also the trend in the NBA, the premise is that the twin towers also need to complement each other, and Milicic happens to be an interior line with Lamar that has a bit of a duplication of functions.
So Milicic wants to take Dampot's place, at least with Lamar, it's simply not possible.
Lamar drove home and got a good night's sleep.
The next day, the Knicks had no game assignments, and Coach K did not schedule a practice session in the morning, and Lamar slept until nine o'clock before getting up. The first thing Lamar does when he wakes up is to watch the news.
The operation went quite well, and Lamar was relieved to see the surgeon on TV talking eloquently. As he had heard yesterday, Dampott's surgery had been a success, and while not as tough as the original, it was at least much better than missing a bone.
After reading the news, Lamar made a call to Dampot: "Brother, take care of your injuries! I'm waiting for you to come back, it's boring without my brother's finals!"
Dampotter didn't speak, just laughed. As you can tell, he's in good shape. In another month, you can go to the ground, and then it's time to get back to training, back to racing, and finally the championship.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Coach K's phone called.
"How's it going?"
"Yes!
