Link made two consecutive lethal defenses at key moments, Carter completed a stunner, the Grizzlies narrowly escaped death at Oracle Arena, the series turned to 2-1, and the defending champions regained the advantage......

On the surface, the night for the Grizzlies was perfect. All Memphis fans were also silent in the joy after the victory.

They cheered for Link, and Carter sang and applauded George's bold decision at a critical moment.

But as the Grizzlies' coach, Dave. Joggle was worried at this time.

As soon as the game was over, Link went to the local hospital in Auckland with Moon. After attending the press conference, Joggle also rushed over.

At this time, he and Link were outside the doctor's office, waiting for the results of the medical examination.

Link's grinning expression clutching his chest would always appear in front of his eyes from time to time.

After working with Link for so many years, Joggle knows Link's character. That guy was able to achieve such great success not only because of his outstanding personal ability.

Also because Link's tenacity and will are unmatched!

Such a trait allows Link to not be afraid in the face of any difficulties, so that he will hardly be knocked down.

Over time, the Grizzlies team as a whole was also infected by Link's traits.

In Jogger's view, this is the reason why the Grizzlies, a small city team, can challenge for three consecutive championships.

Their configuration isn't the best in the league, their number of superstars isn't the most in the league, and even their boss isn't the richest in the league.

But their tenacity and will far surpass the other 29 teams.

As a result, Link generally doesn't grin at the slightest bit of pain.

Although Link has not suffered any major injuries in his career so far, there are still some minor bumps. Not a single injury made Link frown.

He can always get up as soon as he falls, and he can always grit his teeth and persist in the fierce confrontation.

Normally, Link doesn't show his painful side, and he doesn't allow himself to do that.

Unless what he is enduring is unimaginable pain for ordinary people!

While Georgel was thinking, Moon walked out of the doctor's office with the film Link had just made.

Moon's expression was very serious, and this middle-aged man usually looked like he was smiling, very affinity. So, the relationship with the players is also very good.

It's rare to hear of a team where players and head team doctors can get along, but Moon is a case in point.

Therefore, when this amiable man all becomes serious, it means that the situation is bad, very, very bad.

"How?" Joggle leaned in, more concerned about the results than Link himself.

Instead of responding immediately, Moon stared at Link before shaking his head, "Tell me, how the fuck did you do that!?" Unbelievable, simply unbelievable! ”

"What's wrong?" Link looked confused, what did he do?

"Look, have you seen this film? Here, there is a noticeable crack! First costochondral non-displaced fracture, fracture! God, how the hell did you keep playing the whole game! Moon held up the film in the light, then looked at Link in amazement.

As a sports medicine specialist, he had never seen a case like this!

A player may be able to finish the game despite a dislocation, sprain, or open wound. But he insisted on playing the whole game after the fracture, he really hadn't seen it!

Moon did not experience a broken rib, but he also experienced a fractured calf bone on the football field as a young man.

Just cracked bones, Moon rolled on the ground in pain. At that time, he couldn't stand up at all, let alone continue playing.

He knows how painful broken bones can be, and as a sports medicine specialist, he's seen countless players with broken bones.

None of them were able to finish the game after suffering an injury like a broken bone.

Moon really can't imagine how Link survived the fourth quarter.

With his ribs already broken, he continued to fight with the Warriors, shoving, right, and finally the brave save that rushed into the audience......

The more Moon thought about it, the more incredible it became, if it weren't for the film in his hand, he might really wonder if Link was a Terminator robot sent from the future!

No wonder Link always clutched his chest, no wonder he yelled in pain when he was just injured, no wonder his fourth-quarter shooting percentage dropped.

I was broken by someone else's elbow, can it not hurt!? Can it not affect the shot!?

If this happened to someone else, it wouldn't be as simple as shouting two words.

"What do you say? First costal cartilage fracture!? Joggle was also taken aback, if he had known that Link had broken a bone, he would have replaced him with a rest.

But Link's performance on the court doesn't look like a fracture at all!

Indeed, in normal life, there are many people who still insist on working after a fracture. But having a fierce confrontation on the pitch after a broken bone is completely different from ordinary work!

"Is it so serious? I didn't think it was serious. Link looked down at his chest, not knowing that he was okay when he broke his bones, but after knowing that he had broken his bones, why did he suddenly feel more painful......

"You guy, what a monster...... Don't say that the opponent is afraid of you, I am afraid of you now. There are some things that you can't always carry. Now it'......" Moon said halfway through, looking at Link and Jogle.

“...... In this case, there is no choice but to make an indefinite truce. Costochondral fractures, if they are incomplete, fine, but complete fractures, at least a month. Of course, this is the best-case scenario. In fact, it's hard to see this as ideal. It's hard to say, but Link, you're ...... this season You can barely play this season, you are reimbursed. ”

Jogger covered his head, and the word "reimbursement" was like a bolt from the blue, splitting him to pieces.

Link gritted his teeth as well, he did feel the pain in his chest worse than it had just been.

Maybe it's because of the adrenaline boost, so the pain isn't so obvious. Now Link can't even lift his hand, let alone shoot.

The first rib cartilage fracture is not a career-threatening injury. Under normal circumstances, the peace of mind is over.

But everyone present knows that the triple crown is not a regular situation. This time I missed it, and God knows if there will be another chance in this life.

Although the Grizzlies can play more than Link, everyone knows that without Link, the Grizzlies will have a hard time competing with the Warriors and the subsequent Eastern Conference champions.

All three fell into a brief silence, and everyone needed to digest the cruel fact of season reimbursement at a critical moment.

"In my case, can I get a closed shot?" In the end, it was Link who broke the silence.

Now, it's all about it. Link knows the dangers of occlusive injections, which is a practice of exchanging the future for the present.

Serge Ibaka gave the Thunder a closed shot last season, but this season, his form has plummeted!

But Link can't take care of it so much, and if he doesn't grasp this opportunity now, there may not be such an opportunity in the future.

However, Moon shook his head lightly and rejected Link's proposal, "First of all, I personally wouldn't give closed injections to my patients. It's a cost-outs, and I'm not going to do that. Secondly, you have a cartilage fracture, so you can't fight. ”

Link sighed after hearing this, didn't he even have the conditions to make an all-or-nothing gamble?

Silence, silence again.

"There's really nothing to be done Moon, you know, I can't be reimbursed for the season." Link used the word "can't", who wouldn't want to rest and recuperate after a fracture?

But Link can't, he can't fall yet.

"You're not a machine, Link, there's no quick cure for this. But ......"

Hearing Moon say the word "but", Link's eyes suddenly lit up, "Go on, Moon! ”

"We can't heal you quickly, but if things don't get worse in the next few days, you could theoretically come back with an injury with armor. But that's only theoretical, because whether you can play or not depends entirely on your tolerance for pain. But this kind of pain is impossible to ......."

Halfway through Moon's words, he immediately regretted it. Because Link has always been able to turn anything theoretically into reality.

Nothing is impossible for that guy.
