Chapter 281: Persistent high fever

Lost? Lost! The Thunder were playing catch-up throughout the game, but in the end they couldn't catch up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An Jie still scored a double-double in this game, with 22 points and 10 rebounds, he is very much like last year's Yao Ming, but the Thunder is also very similar to last year's rocket.

The Purple and Gold won this battle for King Mountain, and just like last season when they played the Rockets, the Lakers must tie seven with the Thunder!

After the game, Yao Ming, who was watching the game at home, was still reluctant to turn off the TV. The reason why he is idle at home now is because of last year's game. This year, seeing his compatriots in the same position encounter a similar situation, he really has a lot of thoughts in his heart.

But the Thunder were lucky, and none of the three were injured. But Yao Ming could see that although these boys were healthy, their hearts were not so strong.

After the game, none of the reporters could find the Thunder players. They had already flooded the tunnel and locked themselves in the dressing room.

People say that if the Rockets hadn't cornered the Lakers last season, the Lakers probably wouldn't have won the championship. It was precisely because they were forced into a blind corner in the Western Conference semifinals that the Purple and Gold broke out across the board, not only passing the Rockets, but also directly winning the championship.

The Lakers, who are following the same trajectory this season, are still favored. Yao Ming only hopes that the Thunder and An Jie can hold on and complete this final game that will determine the outcome of the game.

"That's how the Lakers are, although they have a strong lineup on paper, when they encounter a team that is not as good as their own, they will habitually relax. It stands to reason that the Lakers are indeed one level higher than the Thunder, but the Lakers like to demote themselves to the same level as others before playing against them. Although it is a playoff game, although the two teams fight fiercely, there is still this problem in the Lakers. Take this game as an example, when they continued to lead, the Lakers obviously lacked stamina in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately, Sanshao didn't take the opportunity. CCTV's Zhang Weiping also made an interpretation of the Lakers, before the series started, no one was optimistic about Oklahoma's youth guards. 4-0 and 4-1 are the most predicted scores.

But now, the Thunder are going to tie seven with the Lakers. In addition to the Thunder itself, there are many reasons for the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant needs to be connected with his teammates to play better efficiency after being guarded, Bynum's defense is no longer able to resist high-level centers, and Gasol's weak style of play will be the Lakers' fatal weakness inside...... Playing this series with the Thunder has almost exposed all of the Lakers' problems. The Zen master will not fail to see this, if the Lakers can advance in the end, then this Lakers team will definitely be reborn and greatly strengthened.

Because the saddest level is always the most able to hone people and teams. And the current Lakers have undoubtedly reached this juncture ahead of schedule.

The Lakers won the game, and the tiebreaker was still held in Staples, and their morale was high and they wanted to get through it in one fell swoop.

At this time, the team that was forced into a corner became the Thunder. They don't have the next home stadium left, they can even say there is no next game. Because three days later, it will be the final battle of the series.

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

Lose and go home, win and advance. In Staples, this is the only one. For fans, it was an extended series, and now they think the young Thunder will be fine if they die generously.

In Los Angeles, the Lakers have already begun pre-selling tickets to the Western Conference Finals, and all odds are also overwhelmingly favoring the Lakers victory. The victory in Game 6 gave the Angelenos a boost of confidence, but invisibly, it also rekindled the Thunder's fighting spirit.

Young people are just easily irritated, and the less you think of me, the more I want to prove that I can. So the Thunder team's training ground began to be full of energy, so An Jie, a workaholic, began to train frantically, and when he rested, he didn't bother to go to the locker room to change clothes, just to be able to continue to sweat on the training ground later.

It's already May, and summer temperatures in Oklahoma are not low. As long as there are people at the training ground, the air conditioning will definitely not be turned off. But there is a downside to blowing an air conditioner in summer, it is easy to cool down too much and lead to a cold.

After a lot of exercise, An Jie was sweating all over his body, coupled with the fierce blowing of the air conditioner, his body cooled down very unnaturally and quickly.

The result of this is that An Jie felt dizzy after returning home, fell asleep, and woke up in the middle of the night still not improved, but seemed to be more serious. An Jie is not a doctor, but he knows that it is always necessary to take his temperature at this time. I rummaged through the cabinet and took out the electronic thermometer that I bought but had never used, and measured it at 40.5 degrees. Yes, Anjie has a fever, or a high fever.

"40.5 degrees!" Van Gundy jumped out of bed, frightening his wife, who was sleeping beside him. This bald guy was changing his clothes while talking on the phone, and he was so anxious that the woman was even more worried.

"What's going on, Jeff? It's almost one o'clock in the morning, what are you doing in a hurry to go out? ”

"It's Ann, he's got a high fever! What a fucking damn thing! What a fucking damn thing! Damn it! Dry! Van Gundy is incoherent, tomorrow they're going to fly to Los Angeles, and the day after tomorrow they're going to play the Lakers in the final showdown. At this juncture, An Jie had a high fever. Van Gundy was both angry and unwilling. He didn't dare to slander God, so he could only curse aimlessly.

The Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference semifinals is the Thunder, but the Thunder's opponents in the Western Conference semifinals are not only the Lakers.

The scorn of the whole world, the mental problems of young players who come and go but are enough to break the team, and of course, now add that damn disease.

Van Gundy himself fainted in the locker room from a spike in blood pressure, which had scared everyone out of a cold sweat. Now it's okay, An Jie really never bluffs people, only plays real. Even when you are sick, this is true.

"It's 41 degrees! The body temperature continues to rise, and you must stay in the hospital for observation! "The doctors at St. Mary's Hospital in Oklahoma knew who the patient was in front of them and what his diagnosis meant for the Thunder, the city. But first, he has to be a doctor, and second, a fan. He also hopes that Anjie can go on the court to kick the Lakers' ass, but it can't be.

"Yes, stay until noon tomorrow, and you will do everything you can to cool me down. I have to go to Los Angeles tomorrow too, no negotiation. An Jie knew that the doctor was for his own good, but he couldn't afford to delay, the most critical battle for the seventh, how could there be any reason to be absent.

"Although fever is a very common disease, how can I let you out when the cause of the disease is unknown and there is a high fever! In case you go into shock due to high fever or damage other nerves or organs in your body during the discharge process, who can afford to take this responsibility! "Doctors take over human life, so they'd rather make a fuss than make a mistake in their own hands.

"Alright, it's noon tomorrow, I have to go to Los Angeles, whether the temperature returns to normal or not, I'm going to go." An Jie can't take care of so much now, isn't it just a fever? Who hasn't had a fever?

If it was the regular season, Van Gundy would definitely let Anjie have a good rest, even if he had to miss the game because of it.

But today, he could not make a decision. It is an indisputable fact that he needs An Jie to attack the city for the Thunder team. But again, Van Gundy is a manager who cares deeply about the health of his men.

"Chief, I must go. If you don't let me go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. An Jie stared at Van Gundy with a determined look, in fact, it was already very difficult for him to hold it up.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, you will cooperate with the treatment in the hospital tonight, and by tomorrow, the body temperature should go down." Van Gundy frowned, this is the best hospital in the whole of Oklahoma, treating fever, it is certainly not a problem.

Van Gundy and Angel stayed up all night, but they were constantly reassuring themselves that it was just a small fever.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Van Gundy left the team's training at nine o'clock the next morning and went to the hospital, and the doctor said that Anjie's body temperature had indeed dropped, but it was still as high as 39.7, which was still a high fever and a fever.

"I suggest that he stay in the hospital for observation." The doctor's categorical answer was that for him, the patient's health came first.

"You're also an Oklahomanian, and you know what tomorrow's game means to us, to the city." Van Gundy of course wanted to take Anjie away, he just wanted to seek psychological comfort from the doctor. As long as the doctor relented, Van Gundy would not hesitate to take Anjie on the plane.

"I'm actually a Cleveland coach, and of course Oklahoma is my second home. I said, I also hope that Ann can play, and I hope that the Thunder can advance. But Ann's temperature has been very unstable, and if you insist on taking him away, ask your team doctor to prepare the medicine, whether it is oral or injectable. The doctor knew he couldn't break Van Gundy, so he finally backed down.

"Thank you, doctor! The whole of Oklahoma City will thank you! Van Gundy took the doctor's order and hurried out of the office. There is still one day today, and I hope Anjie can get better under the effect of medicine.

An Jie didn't know how he got to the airport, he was dizzy and had a terrible headache during the whole process. After taking two antipyretics, it seemed to improve a bit, but it only lasted for a while.

Everyone couldn't help but worry after seeing An Jie's state, this guy can't even walk steadily now, let alone play a game.

However, Anjie's response to everyone's words was: It's okay.

Even though An Jie turned into a puddle of mud as soon as he got on the plane, he would still keep telling his teammates that he was fine.

"Is it really okay for Ann to do this?" Westbrook and Durant were whispering.

"It's definitely okay, after being a teammate for two years, have you ever seen An Sheng sick? He can overcome this little difficulty. Durant didn't know if he was confident in Anjie or if he was comforting himself.

The plane flew for an afternoon, but An Jie fell asleep all afternoon. He felt that he could only feel more comfortable if he closed his eyes.

In the evening adaptation training, everyone else was running tactics on the field, but An Jie was alone in the hospital for infusion. Los Angeles is a place full of journalists, especially now that it's the crucial stage of the seventh-rush period, and there are far more reporters squatting around than usual.

Seeing An Jie walking into the hospital, the reporters who worked hard all had their eyes lit up. They can't rush into the ward without authorization to interview, but secret interviews and speculation are not what this group of guys is best at?

Unbeknownst to him, An Jie has become the darling of the sports section of the major newspapers the next day. Tonight, I don't know how many editors will be working overtime to catch up on the manuscript just to make this explosive discovery public.

At this juncture, the Thunder's core center entered the hospital, which is definitely enough to attract attention.

An Jie had a splitting headache and didn't sleep well all night. I was a little sleepy just now, but I found that it was already dawn.

The first thing after getting up, An Jie couldn't wait to take his temperature. 38.8 degrees, although he was still feverish, An Jie was very happy. At least his body temperature is indeed continuing to drop, and maybe by night, he will be cured!

Anjie was happy in the hospital, and the fans in Los Angeles were even happier. After they bought the newspaper today, they found that the preview of the two teams in the sports section to grab the seven-game game did not occupy the main page, and the content that occupied the main page was the content of An Jie's illness and hospitalization.

"Acute enteritis, Ann or absent from the seven battles!"

"On the fateful night, the Thunder's core center will miss the game!?"

"With a high fever of 41 degrees, it is almost impossible for Ann to play."

All sorts of headlines are conveying a message that one of the Thunder's three most critical fulcrums is likely to be unplayable! Can fans in Los Angeles be upset to hear the news?

Regardless of An Jie's body temperature, the battle has entered the countdown stage in hours. Even if An Jie can play, how far can he play on the field with such a body?

The prospect of the Thunder advancing seems to be overshadowed.
