Chapter 265: Do You Trust Me?
Playing in the NBA, especially Asian players, if you are not good enough, you will not be taken seriously enough, and you will even be discriminated against early, and this discrimination is also manifested on the training court, and Wei Chao is treated like this. He's hurt, and the coach knows who hurt him, but he just doesn't deal with the perpetrator.
Michael McKinsey is a strong black man, his ability is similar to Wei Chao, in a competitive position, but if Wei Chao is injured, he will definitely be the first substitute, and he is accurate, and coach Mike D'Antoni will definitely take care of the overall situation and will not punish himself severely.
Yes, he was right, even though he got a verbal warning, but what is a verbal warning?
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of monotonous slapping echoed on the training ground, and the players all left one after another, only Michael McKinsey remained on the training ground, and he was not practicing anymore, but was absent-mindedly slapping the ball anyway.
"Michael!" Someone was calling him, "Do you want to practice?" I've never seen you do this because of tomorrow's game? "A tall black player walked up to him, Lakers teammate, small forward Anto Morris, who had a good relationship with Michael and wasn't the starting small forward.
"Next!" McKinsey threw the ball at him suddenly, Morris caught it, and the two of them cooperated one by one, he threw the ball high, McKinsey jumped up in the basket, and then pressed the ball into the frame with one hand, and the frame made a trembling "clang" sound.
As if it was venting, when McKinsey landed. He exhaled and said to Maurice, "You're not leaving?" ”
"I'm coming to see you." Morris walked into McKinsey and looked at him quietly. Say in a very soft voice, "Did you mean it?" Mike! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" McKinsey glared at him and turned to get his bag, clearly sensitive to the topic Morris had raised, even very disgusted.
"I know it's hard, but ...... And even if it did, who could say whether it was right or wrong? Morris glanced at McKinsey, who was packing, and shook his head and smiled bitterly. I've done that before. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, Anto, you want to tell me. Did I deliberately break Wei's foot? Do you say that like that? That's how you did it to me? It was an accident, Anto, a damn accident! ”
McKinsey suddenly became impulsive, and he threw down his bag. yelled at McKinsey in an almost roaring tone. Eyes stared at him.
"Don't get excited, Mike, you're so excited, can you still be in good shape on the court? You just play with that kind of emotion, so do you think it will please D'Antoni? Morris also yelled at McKinsey, "You have to adjust your state, you have to face this." ”
After listening to Morris's words, McKinsey was silent. Yes. His state is not good to play, as can be seen from the last game. He came off the bench and the result was nothing to achieve, with only one assist and zero of three shots. As a result, he only played six minutes and was substituted.
Six minutes is not a good time for a first-place backup defender, and if he performs poorly, he could be traded by the team in the future. And usually such a substitute role, the number of transactions will be completely marginalized.
"What do you want to say?"
After being silent for a long time, McKinsey looked at Morris sullenly and held back a sentence.
"Yours put aside this current thought!" Morris said politely, "Put aside your guilt, put aside your guilt, so that you can go into battle easily." ”
"Enough, Anto, do you think I don't want to? But I can't, it's like a nightmare, damn it, if I could do it all over again, I might ...... Well, I'll still step on it, you win, you moral judge! McKinsey raised his hands, then turned to pick up his bag and was about to leave.
"You're a coward, Mike!" Morris shouted loudly behind him, "You're a sissy, you sissy who can't even hold her pee!" ”
"What did you say?"
McKinsey threw his bag down and lunged at Morris, swinging his fist at him, hitting him in the jaw and smacking it to the ground.
"You...... Never call me a sissy, you damn ...... Bastard! ”
Morris got up, touched the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said to McKinsey: "Yes, yes, that's it, this is you, McKinsey, this is what you won, even if the means are not very bright, this is the NBA, this is competition, we all came over like this." ”
"You—" McKinsey looked at him with some dumbfoundedness.
"Yes, even if the means are not very bright, but ...... Mike, I still have to tell you, since you have won this competition, then you are the winner, and the winner does not need to feel guilty about the loser, and some should just have mercy! ”
McKinsey hahadaxiao, then patted Morris on the shoulder, and walked out of the gym first, leaving Michael McKinsey there in a daze.
He suddenly felt that Morris's words made sense. Yes, he has already won this competition, so weishenme still has to feel guilty? There should be, just compassion. That's it. Thinking of this, McKinsey felt that his heart was much quieter, as if he had found a haven from the wind.
He lifted the bag and walked out of the training ground without looking back, his shadow slanting and stretched long in the sunlight shining in from the door.
Santa Monica Hospital is the designated hospital for the Lakers.
After Wei Chao and Zhen Fan talked on the phone, they were a little more comfortable. For a long time, the grievances and unwillingness in my heart finally had a small outlet, although I was still unwilling, but at least it was a little comfortable, so as not to drive myself crazy.
Recalling that I debuted from CUBA, all the way to the CBA, and finally entered the NBA, only I know the hardships here, but I didn't expect to work hard to get in, and after playing a few games, I was blackfooted, this is fate?
In Los Angeles, he has almost no friends other than his own translator, his teammates are close to him, and the coach does not value him very much, although the owner of the team values the Chinese market behind him, but the coach starts from the needs of the whole team.
I really don't want to go back like this. Such an injury, even if it is healed, will leave sequelae. If there was a gun, Wei Chao even wanted to take the gun and kill the bastard with the black feet first, and then finish himself off with one shot.
He has been lying here for two days, and no one has come to see him except after the assistant coach has come once, he is the forgotten corner of the Lakers, even when he sees the nurse, he has a cold face.
At this time, the mobile phone placed at the bedside rang, Wei Chao was a little surprised, who called him? He wants to be a coach, and even if he says a few words of comfort, he will feel great comfort.
"Zhen Fan?" The name on the mobile phone made Wei Chao a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhen Fan to come to see him, after all, he and Zhen Fan were opponents on the basketball court before, however, he played really well, if it wasn't for his height, he would definitely be much better than himself when he came to the NBA.
"Zhen Fan? It's you...... I didn't expect it, which hospital am I staying in? Yes, it's Santa Monica Hospital in Los Angeles, it seems to be the name of the church, haha, yes...... Well, come here, xiexie you can come! ”
Wei Chao hung up the phone, a little stunned, he didn't expect that it was his former opponent who came to see him, which made him a little surprised, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
It didn't take long for someone to knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a smiling face appeared at the door, followed by a large bouquet of flowers, yes, it was Zhen Fan who came.
"Looks like you don't look good! Because you can't play? ”
As soon as Zhen Fan spoke, Wei Chao couldn't hold his face. Which pot is not opened, Wei Chao was speechless, and then pointed to the chair in front of Zhen Fan and motioned for him to sit down.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you, can I see your feet?" Zhen Fan walked over as he spoke, did not sit down, but wiped his feet, obviously, the feet that were tightly wrapped in plaster could not see anything.
"Comminuted fracture, reimbursement for the whole season, even if it's good, I'm a mess in the NBA." Wei Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It seems that I still don't adapt to the competition here!" ”
"It seems that you are really, you can't be ruthless, it's hard to adapt to such an environment!" Zhen Fan nodded, then smiled at Wei Chao, "Don't worry, everything will be haode, can you ask the doctor to show me your X-rays?" ”
"Do you want to see that?" Wei Chao looked at him in surprise.
"I'm not just a nightmare on your court, but I'm also a Chinese medicine practitioner!" Zhen Fan smiled, "Although Western medicine is good, our ancestors' things may be better, if they are used properly." ”
"Are you...... Are you a TCM practitioner? Wei Chao grew his mouth, he and Zhen Fan had fought many games on the court, and they never knew his identity, so they were still stunned when they heard this.
"yes, I have a TCM clinic in Temechula, and ...... If you trust me, I'll treat you, and in just a month or less, I'll get you back to normal, of course, it depends on the severity of your injuries, are you okay now? Would you like to give me your X-rays? ”
"Of course I trust you, but ...... I'm afraid that the coach of the team doesn't trust you, I am now a member of the team, which means that I am the property of the team, and if you want to change the treatment plan, you have to get the team to agree! Wei Chao smiled helplessly, as if he was laughing at himself.
"It's okay, you can apply, I can afford to wait, of course you don't have to choose me." Zhen Fan looked at him, if Wei Chao trusted him, then he would treat him, if not, he would never come here again, because the most basic things didn't exist!
"Well, I trust you!" After being silent for a while, Wei Chao nodded firmly, anyway, this is not an adventure, but a glimmer of hope after despair, even if the drowning person sees a floating straw. (To be continued......)
