After the game ended and the Western Conference Championship Award Ceremony ended successfully, Anjie did not go home with Catherine and her son. After hailing a taxi for them, Angel and Ricard rushed to the hospital without stopping.

The frenzied celebrations are over, and the Western Conference Championship Victory Ceremony has come to an end. Rushing out of the west, this matter has become a thing of the past.

At this moment, the most important thing for the Trail Blazers is not the long-lost Western Conference championship, nor Angel's legendary stunner, but Paul. George's injury situation.

Angel could have stood up to the pressure in the final minutes of the fourth quarter alone to win the game, but what if George missed not a few minutes but an entire game? When the time comes, the result will not be easy to say.

Therefore, whether George can play in the finals is a question that directly affects the ownership of the championship. After all, if George and Lillard are both injured, it won't be easy for Angel to fight the Cavaliers. On the Cavaliers' side, there are a bunch of stars looking at An Jie with fierce eyes.

When Angel and Ricard walked into the hospital lobby side by side, they realized that the place had already been surrounded by reporters. Seeing these two conspicuous guys coming in, the reporters immediately turned their focus and extended the microphone to Angel and Rickard.

"Congratulations to Coach Riccard, but is George's injury optimistic?"

"After reaching the finals, how much will George's absence affect the team?"

"Hello Ann, what do you think of Drummond. Was Green's action intentional? ”

The reporters asked questions in an unorganized manner, and the entire hospital lobby became even more noisy.

Angel and Rickard waved at the reporters' cameras as they made their way through the crowd with the help of hospital security guards. It's not that Anjie and Ricard don't want to answer questions, it's that the reporters want to know exactly what Anjie and Ricard desperately want to know right now.

After a lot of hardship, Anjie and Ricard finally squeezed into the elevator. A group of reporters saw that they were about to rush into the elevator, but fortunately, the hospital security guards surrounded a wall in time to let the elevator rise smoothly.

In the small space of the elevator, there are only Anjie and Ricard. Neither of these two guys spoke, and the air was chillingly quiet.

"You say...... If George can't play in the finals...... "An Jie still can't forget the terrible twisted angle of George's ankle, and if George can come back soon, An Jie will definitely not believe it." All he could pray now was that this guy would come back soon.

"Hopefully this will never happen, but if it does...... We'll always have a way, won't we? Rickard squeezed out a smile at Anjie, although he had just won the Western Conference championship, but because of George's injury, Rickard really couldn't be happy.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a nurse who looked as if she had been waiting there for a long time ushered the two into George's single room without asking anything.

"Coming so soon? I thought you were still celebrating in the locker room! Well done, I'm almost out of breath the moment you kill! George was thrilled to see Angel and Ricard walk through the door.

Despite being in the hospital, George watched the game live on TV. When he left the court, An Jie told him that he would definitely reach the finals. It was precisely because of this sentence that George was willing to leave the court. As a result, An Jie, this guy, he really did it.

Perhaps, this is why Anjie can always win people's hearts. This guy doesn't just motivate his teammates with words, he is definitely a giant in action.

"Without you and Damien, what is there to celebrate for this Western Conference champion? How's it going, does it still hurt? Seeing George so happy, Anjie thought that the injury might not be serious.

However, as soon as it came to his ankles, An Jie found that George's expression was obviously a lot depressed. Both Ricard and Angel were waiting for George's reply, when the doctor walked in.

"I'm sorry coach, I was too busy just now. I've already told him about George's injury. I think you'll be interested to hear me say it again. "Trail Blazers players are very popular everywhere they go in Portland, and when I heard that Anjie and Rickard were in the hospital, George's doctor in charge rushed over in a hurry.

"George...... He's okay with the finals, right? An Jie didn't beat around the bush, he hoped that the stone in his heart could fall as soon as possible.

The doctor didn't answer directly, but took a big breath. At that moment, An Jie knew that it was over!

"George's injury isn't serious, but it's a big deal...... I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. It also took a lot of courage for the doctor to say this in front of Riccard and Angel.

"Oh God!" Rickard immediately held his forehead, not hiding his disappointment in the slightest.

"What kind of injury is it?" An Jie still kept his composure and continued to ask.

"Similar to Damien's, but much lighter. There was a minor structural injury to the ankle and it would take at least a month to get back on the court. The doctor took out the film and explained it to An Jie.

A month's absence is not long at any time. If this is still playing the regular season, missing a month will only make George miss more than a dozen games. But on the eve of the finals, a month means that the season will be reimbursed. Because no matter how well the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers play, in a month's time, the season will be over a long time ago.

"Can I play with an injury?" George did not become depressed, but actively searched for any possibility.

"It's not just the bones that you're hurting, the tendons in the ankles are also damaged to varying degrees. Occlusive injections won't solve the problem, and even temporary relief won't be done. "The doctor knew what George meant, and a lot of athletes would go to the game with an occlusive injection to relieve the pain and bring the injury. But this method did not work for George.

"I know how important the finals are to you, George. If I had a solution, I would have used it a long time ago...... I'm sorry gentlemen, George, I couldn't make it to the finals......" After the doctor finished speaking, he nodded to the silent three and left the room.

Rickard, Angel and George didn't know what to say for a while, George was so excited just now, just because he saw the team win the Western Conference Championship, saw Angel complete the incredible stunner, and saw the team successfully reach the Finals. But that doesn't mean George is optimistic about his injury.

"I finally had a chance to play in the finals...... I hate my feet. George looked up slowly, his eyes moistened.

"!" Suddenly, An Jie yelled and punched the wall.

"Not only this year, but next season, next season, next season, next season, we will also reach the finals! Not only to reach the finals, but also to win the championship! You've fought George all season, do you think it's just the winner of the finals who wins the championship? Everything that goes into the finals is part of the championship! Your dedication has helped us get the team to the door of the finals and has helped us touch the championship. Next, leave your dreams to me, and I'll take the final step for you and get that damn O'Brien Cup back! An Jie clenched his fists, he was already in front of the O'Brien Cup, how could he fall because of an injury!

If someone else had said such nice things, George might have ignored them. But An Jie is different, this guy never promises what he can't do.

"Alright George, go ahead. I promise you, I'll make it to the finals! George hadn't forgotten that a few hours ago, when he was struggling in his heart, it was An Jie who suddenly patted him on the shoulder and calmed himself down. And the facts have proved that Anjie has indeed fulfilled his promise.

Now, Anjie said something similar again, and George had no reason to question his idol.

He knows that Anjie is a great player. A great player who is best at doing something great.

"I can only help the team get here, come on, I must win!" George said, stretching out his left hand and clashing fists with Anjie.

After that, the three of them chatted in the ward for a while, during which George talked and laughed, this guy really put all his hopes on An Jie. George didn't want to be downcast, after all, the Trail Blazers had just reached the Finals, and it was a fun night.

Later in the evening, Ricard and Angel had to go home. An Jie didn't come by car, so he called a taxi back.

On the way back, the sights of the city of Portland flashed in front of Anjie's eyes. Before you know it, you have been living in this city for so many years. And the City of Roses has also undergone great changes because of An Jie's arrival.

"How's George's injury?" At a traffic light intersection, the driver who stopped the car finally couldn't help but ask.

"No, I can't make it to the finals." An Jie did not hide the truth, anyway, tomorrow morning, the Trail Blazers will officially announce the news.

"Hey, that kid....... What a pity. The driver shook his head and adjusted the reversing mirror to observe An Jie's expression.

"But we can still win, right? You're going to carry the city, I know you will. An Jie may not know that his image as a Portland hero has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the hearts of every citizen. He's the spiritual leader of the city, and as long as he's there, even if the team is down 3-0, the fans know there's still hope.

The car started again, and An Jie looked out the window again. Portland's night view is so beautiful......

"We made it to the finals at a great cost, just to win!" An Jie replied categorically, from now on, it will be a whole city standing on the shoulders of giants!
